Chapter 5 Convergence of powers

We all got together in the basementso we could include Sebastian. That

was my idea I desperately needed to be near him and I fought for him to be included the whole time with Alana stating "I saw it in a vision, he turns into a vampire, but he doesn‟t attack us. He was smiling and laughing with us." She let me have my way, I guessed since now she knew that we were to

be mated there wasn‟t much she could do to keep us apart, we will find a way to be together, and she was right I would. So now here we were down in the cold basement discussing what we were going to do.

"Well I think we plan an attack. We need to take down Raphael and the sooner the better. He ‟s getting old, it should be easy" said Peter.

"Um did you forget that they age differently than we do? They stay younger longer than we do which is why Raphael has been in command for twenty years. Yes he‟s getting older, but he is still strong." Jack said.

I didn‟t know they lived that long and they stayed young basically forever. Man this world is so confusing and much to learn and remember I don‟t

know how they remember it all. But I‟m a fast study and I‟ll get it and retain it.

Peter looked at Jack as if he had ten heads. Then said "Your right I forgot, but I still think he is getting weaker with age, we should case the building

they are in and check for Sam and Robert. We could use them, if they

haven‟t been turned evil." He said with a hint in his voice that he doubts we could count on that part, but didn‟t want to kill our joy completely.

"You know what maybe that is what they meant in the letter. I mean I have to be able to see them. Do you have anything they might have owned still laying around maybe I could get something off of it." Then I stopped. I

forgot that I hadn‟t yet told everyone that I have had and still have visions. But with everyone reading the letter I was sure they would figure it out, they aren‟t dumb.

"What do you mean „maybe you could get something off of it‟?" Peter said looking as if he was lost.

Apparently some of them were dumb I thought but I said, "I get visions like my mother. I have the gift of premonitions and levitation which is why I

found this." I said shaking the letter in my hand to indicate that that was

why we were here. "It was stuck up on the roof in the leisure library. I was

in there with Clarisse when I found it; she helped me use my power to get it. Oh yea and incase I forget, I have the ability to throw fire from hands. I‟m not an expert on these gifts of mine yet, but I want to learn how to control

them before I go into battle with the weres."

Everyone turned to look at me as if for the first time. Taking in every detail of me and then the one to speak was someone everyone forgot about.

Sebastian, and he sounded stronger, much stronger. "Rebecca, you and

Alana were meant to run Luna together, you will know how to use your

powers when you need to, but I can train you if you would let me." Me not used to being called Rebecca turned and faced him. He was looking only at me and me at him. He looked a lot healthier and stronger. Just Like with

John, his muscles now stood out. I wondered if his change was complete no one ever talked about how long it took to change into a vamp, so I

wasn‟t sure. But the fact that they quickly brought him down must mean that he was close to his change.

He went on "I‟m not going to hurt you, so you can stop studying me like

that. I‟m stuck in this cage for one and I would never hurt my mate for two. I

will always choose to protect my mate weather we were mated by

ceremony or not. I feel you in my soul and I am so sorry we were separated for so long, but I will do everything to keep you at my side forever. I will be alive forever, which means you will too." He looked as if he were struggling with something then he said "Alana let me out, so I can be with my mate.

Please I can‟t stand being this close and being restricted from touching her." He pleaded.

Alana thought about it for a few seconds and looked at John. He gave her confirmation and she went to let him out, before unlocking the cage in a

whispershe said, "You try anything and I will set your ass on fire you

understand me? This isn‟t just one warlock with his mate; this is a vampire, with a witch and the rest of her covenant members. I will protect them from you, I promise you that; even if it means she hates me forever for doing it. I know about the vision you shared during your first kiss, but not all visions

are true. So you promise me you will not attack them."

"Alana you know me, you know I will not hurt them. I will find away to live without fresh human blood. I‟ll get bags of blood or I‟ll try animal blood ,

although I have never heard of a real vampire living off of that stuff, I want to be with my mate. Every bone in my body is pulling me to her." and he bent his head to the left to indicate he was indeed talking about me.

Alana knew exactly what he meant, that is what it felt like with her and John before they were matted by ceremony. After the ceremony it gets easier

because you can feel them in a different way. Your minds become one.

You cannot hear each other‟s thoughts but you can feel when one another is hurt or happy and it lets you ease upon needing to touch one another so much. "Ok." Was all she said.

Then she opened the cage. Once the door was opened he went running to me and picked me up in his arms and hugged me so tightly he had to

loosen up his hold on meso I could breathe. Then he put me down and

took my chin and lifted it up to meet his lips and he kissed me the way I

wanted the first to be, full of passion and love. I could feel love coming from him and I poured love into him as well. It was everything I wanted , a loving man and a great family, but reality hit faster than I wanted it too when the

others coughed to get our attention.

"Sorry to break up the reunion, but I‟m sure there was a reason behind

them wanting to turn you into a vamp and I want to find out what it is, so we can come up with a plan to see why they wanted you turned as well as my mate turned into monsters." Alana said. We all went upstairs to a more

comfortable setting.

We all sat around the dining room table. "Ok so we know that Raphael has turned Rebecca‟s parents as well as us." Alana motioned between her and

John. And she continued with "What we don‟t know is why? Why target us? Why not just kill us?"

Clarisse was the first one to answer. "Because he wants the power on his side, why else would he go through the trouble of turning the most powerful warlocks into weres? I mean come on he took down Samantha and Robert by one bite and now he thinks he took down you. He is probably trying to

get this covenant weak to take us all out." She sounded like she knew what she was talking about, and everyone took the time to take in what she said, I guess because they knew she was on to something.

"So answer me this. Why did the vamps turn Sebastian? I mean the weres and vamps are known to work together when they need to take care of

things. But for them to both want to take us down? Do you think they

planned that, or was that just icing on the cake?" I said exasperated. I‟ve been going through this over and over in my mind all day. " First there is a kind of spell or something to cloud the memories of John and Alana and now we have Sebastian who is a vampire and ohyea my parents

abandoned me because they were turning into werewolves and now I have to use my gifts to find my parents; and what exactly, bring them back?

What if they are evil?" I covered my mouth once I realized everyone was

staring at me with questions written all over their faces. I didn‟t mean to say all of that out loud but it just poured out of my mouth. No one knew what I

meant about John and Alana‟s memories being clouded so now I had to explain what happened, well no better way to figure everything out than to just go in and tell every detail.

So me and Clarisse explained everything that happened including the

feeling of being watched. Everyone had the same thought that Clarisse and I had, it was Raphael and he needed to see that they were turning evil so

his plan of whatever it is will work, but he didn‟t anticipate me being

Rebecca, I‟m the reason for them not being evil. I spoke out loud saying

"What if theyaren‟t evil weres at all? What if they have clouded memories as well, I mean that would explain why only a few break free. And you two,"

I motioned to John and Alana, "were a part of his plan and now you probably pissed him off."

"Your right, but before we come up with a plan for Raph can we please take care of that damn Banshee." Sebastian said looking over at Monika. "We

can go, I mean now I‟m a vamp and you saved my ass back there last time, plus we need to stop somewhere and get me some blood. I could try

animal blood first, but if it doesn‟twork I‟ll go to blood bags, I will not ever drink live, and I won‟t hurt you." He added as he seen Monika‟s face show horror at the mention of him needing blood. He rubbed her back and

brushed the hair out of her face and tucked it behind herear.

"I‟m not afraid of you; I could hurt you if you ever tried to hurt me." She

motioned to fire in her hands and all he could do was laugh at her. He was so happy to have someone so strong as his mate.

"I have a question Alana. How is this mating ceremony supposed to

happen now that I‟m a vampire? I mean I know how the witch and warlock one works but what about the witch to vampire?"

Alana looked startled as if she hadn‟t thought of that yet herself. He

wouldn‟t hurt her of that she was certain, but to mate with a vampire she

was sure he needed her blood to complete the ceremony and she wasn‟t

exactly on good terms with a vampire. So she told him what she thought

was the truth and she didn‟t leave anything out. "I think you need to drink

her blood to complete the ceremony. Only asip, but I‟m not certain on the how of this but I‟m pretty sure she needs to drink from you as well. I have

never had to preform one of this magnitude and I wonder if that will turn her as well, how else is she to cut your skin and drink from you without fangs?"

she looked at everyone and back to Sebastian and Monika and said

"Maybe we should finish this conversation later, while we are alone. As for the Banshee, let ‟s go in separate groups. Peter and Jessica go together

land at the top of Cross Street. John and I will go together and land at the bottom of Cross Street; and then you two go towards the middle. The rest of you stay here and try and figure out away to get into the weres hideout and how we can get Samantha and Robert out of there. If you have to go and case the building do it carefully and don‟t go alone, got it?"

"Got it." Everyone in the room said at once.
