Jason lost his parent early on and he had to survive in a world he couldn´t even see...

Living in the age of martial arts and soul bonds under the constant thread of nature, magical beasts, and foreign races, humanity suffered many setbacks.

Being blind and left alone at an early age Jason was one of the unfortunate children which suffered from the social hierarchy of the new ages.

Forced to mature early his train of thought was different from other children and he didn´t mind derogatory reviews about him.

Nobody wanted a weakling and a cripple as a friend as one had to improve oneself to survive outside the safe cities, where ferocious beasts, foreign intelligent races, and devasting natural disasters raged.

The day he awoke his soul was the day he cried in desperation but God played tricks with him as his soul-awakening was a blessing in disguise.

Nobody would have thought that Jason´s eyes weren't crippled, rather his eyes had yet to accumulate enough mana to awaken.

Follow Jason on his adventurous journey throughout the vast world

Maria ( Based off of me) has always wanted to be Spanish or have close Spanish friends so that she could practice Spanish around them, as her family disapproves of it. One day she gets her wish granted, in the worst possible way. Will her friends be there forever or will they appear then disappear when she does?

Part 1 - 500 Years Ago: Night of the Eclipse

The night begins to turn a reddish tone as the sun begins to cover the moon meaning that a small light illuminates the Volcano Popocaltepec. The light reveals a Golden Temple inside the Volcano surrounded by magma. The group appears outside the volcano and they see the small light falling to the center. As they go inside the temple they find the altar.

"The altar of the Gods" Montezuma says with a frightened face. The light shines and Montezuma continues to explain: "The altar that has been said in the legends that it requires the sacrifice of a believer, this is why we always sacrifice the prisoners of the other tribes."

"So it requires a sacrifice huh" Cortes says looking at Marina. He begins to walk towards her. However, Isabella pulls him away saying:

"You can't sacrifice her, she is important."

"Very well," Cortes says as he pulls out his sword and suddenly stabs Malitze in the back and with great force pulls her heart out killing her instantly. He proceeds in squeezing the heart making blood drop in the altar. The blood begins to form a circle in the center revealing a key that slowly rises.

"The Golden key, one of the seven is here." Isabella says with a great smile. Cortes is about to grab the key, however Montezuma pushes him and says to Marina:

"Marina pull the trigger and stop the key from forming."

Marina pulls the trigger making the blood to spill and avoids the key from forming.

"NNOOOO!!" Isabella screams as she grabs the key but it disintegrates in her hands.

"You bitch!!" Cortes says hitting her causing her to fall to the bottom of the temple. Marina begins to run jumping the magma from rock to rock exiting the volcano. Cortes begins to run after her but Isabella stops him saying: "Let her go, nobody will believe her."

The two men smiled saying: "Well no matter, now we need to concentrate in making this land under the control of Spain, Which is what we were pay for."

"Haha well the key will appear in 500 years so I must kill time." Isabella says as she laughs.

Morning rises and Marina runs back thinking: "Mis niños, they are waiting for me at the house, I told them that if anything happens we would meet at our home."

Marina encounters natives who begin to scream: "Traitor, get out of here you are not welcome!!" They begin throw rocks at her but Marina only runs to see her children.

The moment she closes in, Isabella seals her children along with the Aztec Gods and disappears with them. Marina arrives at her house but her children were not there. She begins to cry her names.

The conquest continues through the Aztec Empire, Cortes imprisoned Montezuma; the two conquistadores continue to lead the army killing everyone who opposes them. Until Spain, colonize the New World. Cortes returns to with Martin Cortes his son to Spain; he never returned to the New World multiple times but never looked for Marina or her children.

Marina walked around asking for them, but she never found them. The natives rejected her calling her "Traitor, La Malinche or La Chingada" she became an outcast and persecuted by those who saw her that night. For one year she walked through the night saying:

"AAAAYYYY MMMIIISSSSS HIIIJJJOOOSSS"

People began to call her "la Llorona" (The Wheeping Lady), and began to fear her. Her hair became white, her skin dried as a skeleton because she stop eating. Until the day she died however she never passed on. During the nights she walked around the country for 500 years screaming:

"AAAAYYYY MMMIIIISSS HHHHIIIIJJJJOOOSSS"

She takes away the children who were abandoning or she feels they need help and puts their souls in dolls so they won't suffer. The island where she lived once with her family became abandon and under the name: Isla de las Muñecas (Island of the Dolls).

Part 2- Present Day: Island of the Dolls

Uriel begins to cry as he heard the story of Marina. He lowers his head thinking about her suffering. He lifts his head with confidence and says: "Marina, I promise you I will take you to your children, you will see them again."

Marina smiles at him saying: "You have a pure heart boy, but such an evil Aura, whatever happened to you must have been tough."

"Believe me life has been difficult Marina but I'm trying to protect the persons I care about." Uriel says to Marina who closes to him and hugs him, with tears coming out of her eyes she says: "Thank you." Light begins to shine out of her and Uriel making it too bright that Marjorie and the kids cover their eyes. The light vanishes, Uriel was standing looking at the sky but Marina was missing. Uriel has her yellow eyes and tears flowing out of him. Marjorie walks slowly towards Uriel saying: "Uriel is everything alright." Uriel rubs his eyes cleaning the tears and turns to see Marjorie saying: "Everything is alright Marjorie." Uriel's eyes return to normal making Marjorie smile saying: "What happen to the ghost?"

"She's gone for the moment, but right now we need to return to the hotel and meet up with Katsumi." Uriel replies grabbing Marjorie's hand and says: "Come out Bella I can hear your soul."

Bella walks from the tree laughing, the white cat walks with her as she says: "Well done muchacho, you mastered the Rhythm Sense."

"Can you please take care of the children over there." Uriel says to Bella who replies:

"I'm not a babysitter you know, but I'll take them to their houses just this once."

"Thank you, now we must go" Uriel says as he begins to walk with Marjorie who is blushing because he is holding her hand.

"Wait Muchacho I can help you with that" Bella says opening a portal beneath them causing them to fall. Bella looks up with a crow and says: "Go and lend them your aid, we will watch from here okay"

The crow passes through the portal as well, Bella looks at the children and says: "Go to your houses" she opens a portal beneath them as well and sends them to their houses.

Part 3 – 5 Minutes before: Hotel

"Ahide" Xochitl wakes up and sees the others seeping. She begins to walk to the windows and opens it. Katsumi wakes up and sees Xochitl who is standing in the window.

"Xochitl wait" Katsumi says waking Alejandor and Johanna. Xochtils jumps of the window out of the third floor.

"XOOOOCCCHIIITTLLLL" Katsumi screams as she runs trying to grabs her but fails. Xochitls begins to fall but a black aura forms around her and takes shape of jaguar causing her land safely. Katusmi, Johanna and Alejandro run down in order to find her. Xochitl walks around the hotel and a black portal appear. El Muerto walks out of the portal and says:

"Come with me girl, Ahide is waiting for you."

Xochitl begins to walk towards El Muerto but Alejandro grabs her saying:

"No Xochitl wait."

El Muerto sees Alejandro and says: "You again, where is Marjorie."

"That´s none of your business." Alejandro responds, El Muerto with high speed appears in front of Alejandro and punches him causing Alejandro to fly away.

(BBBBOOOOMMMM)

Katsumi appears behind El Muerto with her Katana trying to slash El Muerto, he dodges it again and kicks Katsumi causing he to step back. El Muerto points at Alejandro and begins to forms manna in the tip of his finger.

"You are dead." El Muerto says as he releases a small purple beam towards Alejandro.

"AAALLLLEEJJJAANNNDDDRROOO" Katsumi screams. At that moment Uriel and Marjorie fall off the portal Bella made. Uriel grabs Marjorie and makes his sword appear, with great speed he reflects the beam causing it to fall into the water.

(BBBBOOOOMMMM, SSPPPPLLLLAAASSSHHH)

A great explosion appears in the water. "TEACHER" Alejandro screams as he looks at Uriel, Marjorie runs and hugs Alejandro saying: "Thank God you´re alive".

"Great to see you too." Alejandro replies crying. El Muerto extends his arm and says:

"Come with me Marjorie." Uriel and Katsumi stand in front of them with their swords.

El Muerto laughs saying: "No matter, you will come to me eventually." Xochitl grabs El Muerto´s cloak and both of them begin to disappear.

"Uriel I´m sorry" Xochitl says with tears in her eyes. Uriel looks at her and smiles saying:

"Don´t worry, I will come get you, just wait for me." Both of them disappear.

Uriel falls in one knee thinking: "Damn I am not healed yet"

"Uriel are you okay?" Katsumi says holding him causing Marjorie to frown of jealousy and Alejandro to laugh.

(CLAP, CLAP, CLAP)

Well that was fun Uriel, you sure like to get in trouble. Uriel turns around and sees Alexa getting of the limousine. Uriel with a surprised face says: "Alexa" leaving everyone confused.

Part 4 – Inside a Cell

"Where are we?" Dr Escobar wakes up looking at her six students. The three from France and the three from Spain are in a small cell. The two men from Spain and the two girls from hate are still looking with hate, however Ana and Antoine are looking each other and blushing.

"Don´t you dare cross to this side you salute" (Filth) Marinette says to the Spanish students.

"Well we don´t want you getting near, Sucios come queso" (Dirty cheese eaters) Crespo says to the French.

"What did you say" Marinette screams with anger. "You heard me" Crespo says making fun of her.

"Stop it you two, we need to work together if we want to get out of here." Ana says standing in the middle.

"She´s right we need to work a plan if we want to get out" Antoine says standing behind her.

The four others stare at them making them blush and say: "Don´t tell us you…."

"You can´t escape, if you try you will be burnt alive." Ahide says walking straight at them.

"AND WHO ARE YOU??" Madeleine asks Ahide. Ahide looks at the Spanish students with fury and says:

"My name is Ahide Martin Cortes, son of Hernan Cortes" The Spanish students look surprises saying:

"You liar, Hernan Cortes died five hundred years ago, how can you be his son"

Dr. Escobar walks in front and says: "I believe in you."

"Doctor, are you crazy, he´s lying" Ana says, and continues to speak:

"We are from the Cortes royal family, and the only son our ancestor had was Martin Cortes"

"Ay mija, you three need to understand that history is something that can be changed. There have been stories of Cortes leaving in the Island of the Dolls with two children. I believe that is you and the girl am I right?" Dr. Escobar says to Ahide.

"Yes that man was my father until he betrayed my mother and us 500 years ago and that makes me furious." Ahide replies releasing Quetzalcoatl, now with black feathers in his body, red eyes and feathers red and purple in his head.

"What happen to the Serpent?" Dr. Escobar talks with a worried face.

"This is the "Corrupt" form of a Deity." Ahide says as a portal opens and Xochitl comes out saying: "Brother" and hugs him. Ahide and Xochitl walk away with Quetzalcoatl disappearing. El Muerto comes out of the portal and sees the students and the Doctor. He begins to walk away saying: "Rest you guys, because tomorrow you will be sacrificed."

Ana drops into her knees thinking on what Ahide said. "Are you alright?" Marinette and Madeleine say to her trying to cheer her up.

"We need to get out of here students." Dr. Escobar says with the students nodding agreeing with her. The cage is revealed to be inside the Volcano Popocatepec. Magma sorrounds the place they are located  making it impossible for them to escape.

Having dropped off Artemis to a happy family on a ranch outside of Fresno, Cole headed south on CA-99, pulling off forty-five minutes later at the Circle N Stables Saddle Shop in Tulare.  A couple of weeks earlier, hed taken one of his oldest saddles for repairs, the leather covering on the horn having come unstitched.  

A bell jingled as he pushed open the door, and he stepped inside, breathing in the earthy essence of leather.  The pretty young Hispanic woman at the counter looked up at him and smiled.  

Hi, Cole.  I wondered when you were going to pick up your saddle, she greeted him in her soft Spanish accent.

Hey there, Juanita, Cole grinned.  Hows business?

She shuffled through a stack of invoices.  We cant complain.  Who would listen anyway? she laughed.  Roberto finished resewing your saddle horn last week.  Ill get him to bring it up here.

While Juanita ducked through the curtained doorway to the back of the shop, Cole wandered aimlessly around the store.  He stopped in front of an artisan saddle, worked with an intricately stamped pattern and accented with silver.  It was a beautiful saddle.  The one hed brought in was old, and could no doubt stand to be replaced.  But there was something he loved about the way it was worn in, the stories it had to tell.

He turned from the new saddle and his eyes fell on a pair of womens boots perched on a display table.  They were fashioned of tan leather, with pointed toes, and embroidered with purple flowers here and there.  He picked one up and gazed at it, turning it this way and that.  

If Jennys going to be working with the horses, he mused, she should have more foot protection than those flimsy sneakers I bought her.

Those would look beautiful on you, Roberto joked as he placed Coles repaired saddle on the counter.  They go with your eyes.  The man laughed heartily.

Cole laughed, too.  I was actually thinking of someone who might like them.  He replaced the boot and approached the counter.

Tell her to hurry, Juanita said.  Those sold quickly.  Thats the last pair left.

Really? Cole asked.  What size are they?

Ten minutes later, Cole climbed back into his truck with his repaired saddle and a pair of size 6 cowgirl boots.  As he did, a school bus pulled into the parking lot of the shop.  The driver opened the door and a pair of black-haired children scampered down the steps.

Cole! shouted the girl.  

He opened his door and stepped out.  Krisstel, how are you?  Didnt I hear you had a birthday?

The little girl giggled.  I turned nine.

Well happy late birthday!

Yeah, but Im still older, her brother said.  Im twelve on my next birthday.

Ill keep that in mind, Joel, Cole smiled.  Wheres Brithania?

While theyd been chatting, the driver had stepped out of the bus and opened the large door on the side.  He was now in the process of lowering a tiny girl in a motorized wheelchair.

Here I am, she called, flashing a sunny, gap-toothed grin and waving an awkward fist.  Once on the ground, she maneuvered her chair beside her brother and sister.

Am I going to see you guys next weekend? Cole asked.

Yes! they chorused.

I want to ride Apollo! Brithania shouted.

Cole laughed.  I dont know about that, gorgeous, but maybe we could put you on Layla.  If your mom says its okay.

Okay, but I dont want to ride Minnie.  Shes boring.  The little girls eyes glinted determinedly despite the uncontrolled rocking of her upper body.

Juanita stepped out onto the sidewalk.  ¡Vamos, niños!  You have homework, and Cole has to get home.

Alright, you guys.  Ill see you next weekend.  He watched as they made their way across the parking lot, and gave a wave before he put his truck in gear and headed back to the ranch.

BACKGROUND
A megacorporation started by Don Tito Fernando Ruiz y Tesoro, Caesar MacMillan's very distant Spanish ancestor, in the year 1526.
Originally as a firearms manufacturer, all over the years, its business operations grew into various sectors besides firearms.



“Nice to see you again.” said Sasha. Her once matted curly hair is now full and vibrant. No more dirt or chapped lips, it’s like a renewed Sasha. 

“Fine, kind of scared from yesterday. You look better.” 

“What happened? Mostly I wouldn’t ask but I have nowhere to go, and the only gossip around here is Clint.” My eyes revert over to Clint's who’s burrowing his in the small of my back. “Turn around Clint your creeping out my friend.” He hesitantly turns around towards the dirt filled wall. 

“Friend.” I say surprised. 

“This is the second time were meeting, I’d consider you a friend.” If I’m not mistaken there’s a bit of glint in her eyes. I wonder if she’s ever had a friend before? 

 

“That’s nice. I have something to tell you.” She repositions her body so she’s totally facing me. “Yesterday, when I was painting. . .someone took over my hand and wrote a message.” 

“What did it say?” 

“Um. . .Pozomi Nam Lotisia. When I looked it up in google translate it meant hel-” 

“Help Us Lotisia.” She finishes up for me. How does she know Bosnian, she is really full of wonder? 

"Who was it? Why me?" 

"Most likely just sending you a message. They want you to find them." 

"Wait, you don't know where they are?" 

"No one does. When they were burned their bodies, well what was left had been put in a random tomb. The only one that can find them is. . .well you." She says pointing at me. 

“ That's scary. How do you- you know Bosnian?” I asked curiously. 

She leans her head up against the concrete wall, her curls lay still between the cracks. “My father made sure I knew almost every important language in the world, makes me more worldly and I can understand things faster. Also, people may lie you about what’s actually being spoken.” 

“How many languages do you know?” I know English and like 20 percent of Spanish, three years so Spanish and the one thing I know from memory is Hola. 

“7. It’s English obviously, French, Spanish, Portuguese, Chinese, Swahili and Bosnian.” Wow, I feel so not smart right now. 

“Since you’re a princess your father’s a king. A king of what Kingdom?” 

“He’s the king of Insofar, I’m heir to his throne. Before, I wasn’t it was my sisters' throne.” I didn’t know she had a sibling. 

“Who’s your sister?” 

“Her name was Shilah, she died during childbirth. When she died, I was reinstated.” I see her eyes revert to the ground. 

“Wait, if you’re the oldest then why was she ahead of you then?” I don’t know much about monarchy’s, but I do know the oldest takes the thrones. 

“In the eyes of Selene, the moon goddess, I’m not legitimate. Werewolves are only supposed to only have children with their mates. My mother, Stella, was not my father’s mate which made me illegitimate. When my father met his mate, Princess Tura of Luxor, they instantly married. But before marrying her he divorced my mother. To this day my mother has never forgiven my father. Once Tura was pregnant, it knocked me out of the line of succession to being second in line, my mother was also enraged about that too. When Tura gave birth, the baby died the next day. Since I was my father’s only living child, and he most likely wasn’t going to have anymore he legitimized me. Making me his one and only heir. "Is this what you came to talk about, how I know many languages, and my dysfunctional family. Also, how did you get in here aren’t their like two big dudes in front of the door.” 

“It’s a long story.” 

“I got time Quinn, where am I going to go? The other side of the cell.” I let out a sigh and explain. 

“I told them that in the North wing there was a fight and they needed to break it up.” Her eyebrows lift. 

“That was the long story, you told me it in 5 seconds.” I roll my eyes. 

“People say long story so it sounds more interesting- you what never mind I wanted to know more about the Zastitnik.” 

“Well, after Meghan there were many other Zastitniks. Like Alessandra, Unonia, Yenmon and Rhella. Oh, Rhella is my favorite. She was the first ever Zastitnik to ever go bad.” I scoot myself closer to the cage, this is rather intriguing. 

“What did this. . .Rhella do?” 

“Well, during the 1800’s she was a part of this tribe, very sacred and worshipped Selene and all that. The King at the time wanted to make new houses and such on some land, the land that belonged to Rhella’s tribe. They vowed not to move, since the land was sacred to their people. So, they decided to kill them all. The only one to survive was Rhella. She vowed to seek revenge, even if it took her an eternity.” 

“Years when passed and she flourished, people described her as the prettiest woman in the land. The Kings son, Bernulf, thought this to. Luckily to him she turned out the be his mate, and to her this was great because she could be in on the inside.” 

“Since he’s her mate she’ll love him and the revenge feeling will go away, right?” I asked hoping she would say yes. 

“Not exactly, yes she did love him but she loved the revenge more. They had a pretty normal marriage at first, she never gave him children. She didn't want to bring any children from their bloodline in this world, they didn't deserve it is what she thought. After she did her duty and secured the throne, she was seeking her revenge. Once the moon hit its peak, she snuck into her husband's room and killed him. Also, ending the immediate Pergola line, if her people couldn’t live on neither could they. Then killed all the people who killed her tribe.” 

“Wow, what became of her?” I ask intrigued by this, why didn’t Alexander tell me this? 

“It took two Kingdoms to take her down, Zastitnik’s powers are extremely power I mean you do have the original power of the First Power. They killed her in the end, god she’s my idol I wish I could meet her." 

“How powerful are these powers. Like they could take down a village?” 

“More like taking down a whole Kingdom, if you focus on your powers maybe even the whole world.” This is very scary to know that I could take down a whole world, I can’t even defeat a bug. 

“What do the powers actually do?” 

“You can manipulate the elements, create energy shields and forces. Also, can do some spells but not much. The First Power didn’t want to give Zastitniks too many skills, they gave you enough so at least they can defeat you if you went out of turn, like Rhella.” She tells me. “Hey, do you have my chocolate and chips.” Oh yeah, I forgot, chocolate and chips are such a weird combination, also I had to stuff them in my bra and shirt. 

“Here you go, I forgot.” Handing her the food she scarves it down, Alexander did tell me that wolves had a big appetite. “Am I somehow related to the First Power, like a descendent it would make sense now how I have this ‘immense power’.” I say putting up air quotes. 

“Far from it. The First Power never had children, people could take the children as collateral and distract them from their purpose. The First Power were made from the womb of Selene, so no living family members. You, and the other Zastitniks are not related to The First Power by blood, but by magic. The only way one could be a Zastitnik is to be a human, and mated to an Alpha. Zastitniks can be a girl or a boy, but there hasn’t been one in centuries well until you.” 

“So.. . I’m special?” 

“Very Special.” She gives me a warm smile. She gives me a warm smile. “I told you about myself and your powers, now it’s time for me to ask the questions.” I give her a weird look, but fair is fair. 

“Fine, ask away.” 

“Is that lover boy a really good kisser?” I look at her likes she’s crazy. 

“I’m not answering that.” I say refuting her. She tsk’s at me, while shaking her head. 

“You have to I answered all yours.” I let out a deep sigh and readjust the way I was sitting. My butt and legs are starting to go numb, also the concrete floor is as cold as ice. 

“Yes, he’s a good kisser. Even good with his hands.” I smirk, she eyes me while making a fake gagging noise. 

“TMI! Next questions, does your Grandfather know what Alexander is?” 

“No, I haven’t told him Alexander doesn’t want him t-” 

 

Suddenly, I stop talking. How does she know that I have a Grandfather? Is she following me? 

“How do you know this?” 

“I have people, aka Myers.” 

“Makes sense. No, I haven’t told him it isn’t time.” Amusement decorates her face; she rises up from the concrete floor and stands in a triumph position. “Looks like your both keeping secrets from each other, like Grandfather like Granddaughter.” What is she getting on about? 

“Are you saying my Grandfather has a secret he’s hiding from me.” 

“Hey, I can’t confirm or deny that. Just ask your ‘honest’ boyfriend.” I raise up off the ground while gripping onto the jail bars. The harder I clutch the more blood that rushes up my arms and hands. 

“Tell me.” She zips her lips shut, while holding in her laugh. She can be really sick. “If you tell me, I’ll give you something.” She looks at me intrigued. 

“What?” Her eyebrows lift up. 

“This jacket I know it gets cold down here.” 

“Not needed, I’m a wolf. warm blooded.” Damn it, I don’t have anything else except- 

“I’ll take your bracelet, it looks really. . .vintage.” I grip onto my bracelet; this is something my Grandmother gave me before she died. It means a lot to me. 

“No, this means a lot t-” 

“No bracelet no secret.” I hesitantly take off the bracelet and give it to her. “Thanks, your Grandfather is Milo Worthingshire, who also goes by Count here. He’s the pack doctor, he knows about everything.” My mouth opens a gap. 

“That’s not possible. My grandpa sits at home and reads, hangs out with his girlfriend and gets locked out the house. You must have the wrong person.” She comes eye to eye with me, they burn inside of me. 

“I’m never wrong. NEVER!” Her voice rattles the jail bars.

"Look it's the great conjunction." I tell Alexander pointing at the sky.

"Yeah, I forgot about that. Where are they?" He asked trying to find Jupiter and Saturn in the sky. I grab on to his wrist and use his finger to show him where they are.

"There's Jupiter... Then right over there is Saturn." He follows his hand that I'm holding. "Cool huh?"

"For sure." I let go of his hand as it drops down to his side.

"Can't you imagine being apart for that long. Then having to wait 20 years to be close again." I say staring at the planets in the sky.

"You don't even know the half of it." I can feel his majestic eyes search all over my face. Reading all the stories I lay buried beneath the surface. I never wanted anyone to figure me out, will he?

Quinneth Worthingshire, who goes by Quinn, is a 17 year old teenager who attends Batcavers Highs School and works at the local antique shop in her town.

After Carlo leaves and while Celina gives Kiley a bath, I fill Moon in on the details of retrieving the child. I'm wound up and anger pulses through my veins as I pace. I've never considered children. They don't belong in our world. That doesn't mean I don't want vengeance on the men who did this. Hell, her mother is just as responsible. I hope the bitch dies before I get my hands on her.
"We cannot change the past, my friend," Moon says quietly.
I turn and stare at him. Hell. He's right. My demons are wrapped up in this child. I see the images of my sister, her children, keeping them safe, and the atrocities I saw when we went after the Mexican cartel that killed Moon's parents. It never ends and all we can do is move forward and protect as many people as we can. Money allows that. It doesn't matter where the money comes from as long as we keep the shit from our backyard and help those who need us for protection.
I inhale and shake my head slightly. "Dax kept his word. It's wrong of me to say this because Dax deserves his chance, but I want to wrap my fingers around Fox's throat so bad it fucking hurts." I flex my hands as I say it. They tingle-calling for blood.
"We will get our chance at some of the others who harmed the child. If Dax takes over, there will still be those who need elimination. These things are never easy and they never run smoothly." 
He changes the subject and gives me an update on Victor Corbin. We'll be meeting with him downtown at a restaurant at three o'clock tomorrow afternoon.
My cell rings and it's Miller. He was on the bike waiting closer to the house where they kept Kiley. He tells me he had no trouble with the woman he picked up. The note from Dax's man, Skull, was simple.

Baby safe, go with this man, I'm taking care of business.
S

It was enough to get the woman on the back of the bike and to safety. Miller's taking her to her sister in Tucson. She says the club has no clue about her sister. We're out of Dax's business for now unless he calls us. I disconnect the call.
Moon notices I can't settle down. "Let's hit the gym for an hour."
It's a good plan. Celina comes out of the bathroom carrying a much cleaner Kiley. 
"Gabriella is making us some food. We're going to go eat and then take a nap if that's not a problem. We also need to dry Mary."
"Mary?" I ask.
"I've named the doll. She can change it later if she wants." The doll is wrapped in a hand towel and soaking through the material. Kiley doesn't seem to mind and keeps a death grip on it.
I turn to Moon. "I'll change and meet you in the gym."
"Sounds good," he says and gives Kiley a slight smile, which is huge for Moon, and then leaves the room.
"Your bathroom is a mess. I'll get it cleaned up when she takes a nap," Celina says.
"Gabriella will have someone take care of it while you're eating. Let me change and I'll carry her to the main kitchen."
"That would be nice."
She sits Kiley on the center island in my kitchen and speaks softly to her. "We'll ask Gabriella where the dryer is and we'll put Mary in there while we eat. Mary can lie down with us and take a nap after lunch. I don't know about you but I'm tired."
I head into my room and change. When I walk back out, Celina makes a small noise in her throat. I look up and see her eyes skimming my body. "Like what you see?" I ask with a smile. A slight blush tinges her cheeks. She doesn't answer, just smiles shyly. I move in and reach for Kiley.
"I just can't believe you pay for it," she says, and it's hard not to laugh aloud. I settle Kiley on my hip.
"Take a good nap so I'll get my money's worth tonight."
Her blush deepens, but so does her smile.

Celina
Alex places Kiley in a chair at the kitchen table, which is thankfully a much smaller table than the one in the formal dining room. Kiley's entirely too little for the chair. He gives me a one-armed pull into his body and kisses the top of my head when I glance down at Kiley. She's watching us closely. Alex leaves and Gabriella carries over two plates of delicious smelling spaghetti and places them on the table.
"The little one should like this. I enjoy traditional food, but this is one the bebés enjoy."
"Have there been many children here?" I ask.
"Señor Moon was once young. That was at the old hacienda. I cooked for him and Señor Gomez often came to visit. My niece too. She is grown now and attending college. It is good to have a child in my kitchen."
Before I can ask another question, there's an odd clicking sound behind me. I look over and see Mak's dog walking toward us. She's behind him.
Gabriella raises her voice and throws a not so nice look at the dog. "No, Two-dogs, you will stay out of my kitchen." This is followed by a string of Spanish at Mak.
The dog's eyes are on Kiley and he whines long and loud. Mak laughs. "He knows you love him, Gabriella, and he can't help being drawn to the wonderful smell of food."
The dog lowers his body to the floor at the entrance to the kitchen and Mak steps over him. "I decided to spend a half day at the office and come home early. Any chance there's enough for me?" I receive a wink from Mak as Gabriella goes off on another string of Spanish.
"You know I make enough to feed this family. There will always be food available in my kitchen. Sit down and I will bring you a plate, Señora."
"Who do we have here?" Mak asks as she takes a seat on the other side of Kiley. "And who is this?" she adds and lifts the doll's wet arm. The doll has now soaked the front of Kiley's shirt.
Gabriella places food in front of Mak and reaches for the doll. She looks straight at Kiley. "I will place her in the dryer and she will be ready when you finish your meal."
I'm surprised when Kiley hands her over. Gabriella marches from the kitchen with the doll in hand.
"Kiley, this is my friend Mak. Mak, this is my niece, Kiley." Damn I actually tear up with the introduction.
Kiley's hand falls to her side and she suddenly jerks it up. The dog is standing there and swipes his tongue over Kiley's fingers. I'm about to say something, when Kiley lowers her fingers back to the dog and he gives her another gentle lick.
Kiley smiles.
