Hi everyone,
Appolgies for taking so long for this chapter, my editor and I worked as fast as we could, this is not a short chapter (17 pages in Microsoft standards.) For the few who thought this would be the last chapter, sorry your wrong. There will be another four after this one, you'll understand why after this chapter.
Remember all feedback is welcome and I will try to answer all questions, as long as I have some way of getting back to you for those who send anonymous feed back, and as long as I won't be giving too much away.
Have fun
Chapter 6
Wolfgang supported Amy's weight in the elevator. The porter watched with concern. Wolfgang smiled. "She doesn't travel well, a couple hours of rest and she'll be fine," he told everyone in the elevator. Bastion pushed a porter trolley as they got out on their floor. He picked her up and carried her to the room.
Bastion tipped the porter and went to deal with the luggage. Wolfgang gently put Amy on the bed and took off her shoes. He left her lying on the covers; if she got cold she would call out for help. Amy was asleep in seconds.
Wolfgang watched her for several moments then he went and sat in the lounge. Amy had been working with Bastion to organize this trip the right way by seeking permission, organizing movement requests and much more. It had taken them a week to make the necessary arrangements including the double suite, two rooms linked to a dinning/lounge in a central hotel in London ran by Were.
Wolfgang pulled his laptop onto his knees and started to work on paperwork, some days he wished he could just hand all the decision making over to another like Amy did, he did not want to deal with this at the moment but he knew he had to get it done.
Bastion offered Wolfgang a coffee as he sat, "When can we expect the Merlins to arrive?" Bastion asked.
Wolfgang checked his watch, "In two hours."
Bastion frowned; Amy was sleeping far too deeply to be awake in two hours. "She won't be awake by then."
Wolfgang shrugged, "Then they have to wait for her, I will not disturb her just because they want to poke and prod her."
Bastion nodded. He went and got several of Amy's blouses to replace the buttons. He worked silently as did Wolfgang. An hour later there was a knock on the door. Bastion put aside his work and went to open the door. "You are early," Bastion told the Merlins.
Both men smiled and shrugged. For men who were considered as old as humanity they didn't look any older than Wolfgang, however there was a kind of insanity to the two men's eyes that betrayed their age. Taliesin had blue eyes and platinum blond hair that was left long. He wore a dark coat over a pair of faded jeans and a shirt.
Mryddin was dressed similar to his counterpart. He however had black hair that he kept short, he also wore a beard, and from the corners of his mouth a line of white hair began and joined to form a V at his chin. His vibrant green eyes studied Bastion for a moment, "Hello Bastion," he said softly.
Bastion stood aside and let them in. "You remember me?" Bastion asked surprised.
Mryddin smiled, "Of course, you actually had a brain," he said as he swept into the room after Taliesin.
Bastion paused wondering if that was a compliment or an insult, he decided to take it as a compliment.
Wolfgang nearly toppled his laptop as he jumped to his feet, "You're early," he complained.
Taliesin chuckled, "Forgive us Wolfgang, time doesn't really mean much to us."
Mryddin was glancing around, "Where is she?" Mryddin asked.
"Asleep and I won't have you waking her," Wolfgang said defensively.
Both men sat realizing that something was wrong. "What has happened?" Mryddin asked knowing that Wolfgang would attack if he thought they were a threat to his mate.
Wolfgang sat. Bastion put down tea for the Merlins to drink and refreshed Wolfgang's coffee.
"The night you told Nathanael that Amy was never human and will never be Were, we were attacked by a pack of Rogues," Wolfgang told them.
They nodded, "Yes we know of the attack, a pack was dissolved because of it," Taliesin said to show Wolfgang that they were still in the loop.
"Well we tried to get her to a safe place away from the fighting, Becky...the woman who survived the Rogues, she's a seer. They were going to take Amy, anyway we were surrounded and in the resulting battle the leader tried to steal Amy. She forced a shift and tore him up good."
Both men frowned, "Impossible..." they said together.
"I watched her shift and I had to mate her in that form so she could shift back," Wolfgang told them firmly.
Mryddin clicked, "Not a Wolf form then."
Wolfgang shook his head, "A hybrid form, from her appearance, part wolf, part saber-tooth."
Taliesin frowned, "Sabers were never a Were race," he said more to himself then to anyone else.
"But she shouldn't be able to shift, we agreed her aura would never incorporate Were tendencies," Mryddin stated.
"She's been suffering from weakness ever since," Wolfgang slid in.
They both turned to him, "Weakness?" they asked as one.
Wolfgang nodded in confirmation.
"Okay, may we see her?" Taliesin asked.
"She is sleeping, if you wake her I don't care who you are I will hurt you," Wolfgang told them firmly.
"We wont," they told him, they were confident that they could wait for her to be awake before they started to poke and prod her.
"Don't get too close to her, she has a tendency to lash out at people while she's sleeping, she sent Sienna flying a few days ago. She doesn't lash out at me though," Wolfgang warned.
They nodded and walked into the room and stood on either side of the bed. They studied her for a long time but even in person they couldn't figure out what exactly what she was. Taliesin leant in for a closer look and Amy lashed out and smacked him across the face. Mryddin tried not to laugh out loud. Taliesin rubbed his face and they left the room, as Bastion offered Taliesin an ice pack. Taliesin took it and pressed it to his abused face.
"So what is she?" Wolfgang asked.
"We still can't tell, however there are genetic tests we can perform to find out. She'll have to come to our home, the other Ancients want to meet her," Mryddin told him.
Wolfgang sighed, "We found out a week ago that Amy is adopted," he held out copies of the same pieces of paper Marshal had given Amy, "Conventional methods of investigation have brought up no clues as to anything, we can't even find out who handled the adoption or the hospital Amy was born in."
They nodded as Taliesin took the papers; they had their own methods of investigation. "We'll see what we can find," Taliesin told him. They stood and went to leave.
Bastion handed them a thick file, "Her pack medical records," he told them.
Mryddin weighed the heavy file in his hands. He turned to Wolfgang, "What happened to her to deserve such an extensive pack medical record?" He asked.
Wolfgang sighed, "I met Amy after the plane her brother was flying..."
"Her adoptive brother..." Taliesin corrected.
Wolfgang glared at Taliesin, "Her BROTHER..." he emphasized telling Taliesin that no matter what they dug up about her true identity her brother was still her brother, blood bond or not, "Crashed his plane into my pack lands, either luck was on her side or the gods have taken interest in her life but for some reason I was there when the plane crashed. I felt compelled to go for a run, I was perhaps a quarter mile from the crash site. I pulled her from the wreck. Nathanael..."
Taliesin frowned and interrupted, "The riddle man..." he asked Mryddin.
"Will you let me finish?" Wolfgang growled, he quickly remembered Amy was asleep in the other room and lowered his voice. The two Merlins gestured for him to continue.
"Nathanael is the packs doctor, he noticed first that Amy wasn't human," Wolfgang told them.
