Hi Everyone
Sorry about the lengthy delay with this chapter, I've received a lot of very angry emails demanding as to when the next chapter would be out. I would like to take this time to remind everyone that although my editor and I are dedicated to getting these chapters out as soon as possible we also work full time and have other obligations which take up our free time. Your eagerness for my stories is what keeps me writing but sometimes shit happens and it causes delays.
That being said, here is chapter 5 and we are furiously working on chapter 6 and I hope you enjoy it. As is my norm, thanks go to Kittyhawk for editing this chapter and to you the reader for reading it.
All feedback is welcome and if you have any questions feel free to ask but please include an email so that I can get back to you.
Have fun and enjoy.
Chapter 5
Amy yawned, as she stretched before she ticked another two names off of her list of names, a week and a half since she had started and she was already two thirds of the way through the names on the list with the help of her Kin. Rhun had managed to get the Vampire masters to agree to come, which would have been the hardest group to convince to come as they preferred to think that they were above every other race. However, once they were here she was sure she would be able to get them to agree to almost anything she suggested. The Fae hadn't even let Cleopatra open her mouth before agreeing to come, they could sense the winds of change coming and knew they were needed to instrument those changes. The Elementals were just as eager as, being trapped in the middle of the madness, not quite human, not quite Other they were in more danger now than during the witch trials of the 1800's. The only group which was hesitant about this were the Centaurs; they had agreed to come but didn't promise they would get involved.
She walked into the kitchen courtyard which had quickly become the socialising area. The children played between their lessons or helped preparing food. Several paused when they spotted Amy then raced to hug her, they didn't often see her during the day as she was often off getting people to agree to come to the gathering. So when they did they flocked around her, since meeting her; their lives had changed and she would always have a special place in their hearts.
"Amy." Several called as she hugged them back.
"Guys... come on she obviously wants a break don't crowd her." Sally said with a slightly scolding tone. "Come I need help peeling potatoes for dinner." She told them and they reluctantly broke away from Amy and moved over to Sally.
"It was okay Sally..." Amy begun.
"No... you have been barely here, only stopping for meals or naps since Sasha's adoption. Go relax... the kids will leave you be." Sally argued.
"You remind me of Bastion you freak." Amy said slightly amused, Sally just smiled taking the statement as a compliment.
A massive black wolf walked into the sitting area, a small teenager on his back. "That was fun." The girl said as she slipped off his back.
"Guys... if you want to ride I'll take you to the horses, Ghost is not a toy." Rhun said and many jumped to their feet and followed him out. Ghost went and curled around Katie who was working on fixing some clothes. He lapped at her neck and she groaned as she leant back into his body.
Amy smiled and walked a little away, there was a big oak with several sturdy branches that she had been eyeing. She shifted and climbed the tree, finding a good branch she draped herself over it, beams of light warmed her as she drifted to sleep. Dayita had seen her slightly frazzled self and said that she should go home and nap, that she wasn't taking care of herself and that she needed a breather.
Her beast had agreed and now that she was here in her beast form it was easy to finally relax as the beast didn't care about all the things Amy worried about. It thought in simple terms, if it needed to eat it ate, if it needed to sleep it slept, if it needed to fight it would fight and if it wanted company it would seek it out. It cared little for humans and their silly ways and often wondered why it's other half even bothered, let the humans destroy themselves and let nature regain the land stolen and destroyed by humans.
Humans are important,
Amy told the beast having followed its thoughts.
The big cat just yawned,
according to who and why? Everything they touch they destroy.
