Chapter 312 - Two Hundred And Twelve : Stop Them First

"What happened?" Sabrina helped Electra sit up.

"Lia was right. I was getting lots of information when the witch suddenly saw me. I tried to escape but she was faster, she did some sort of spell that made me want to throw up the whole of my insides - the experience was awful. I really thought that was the end until Ben appeared out of nowhere and grabbed my hand, disappearing through a portal. I swear, I've never been grateful to be home than now," Electra described her hellish experience.

"Well, I'm glad you're home," Lia patted her on the shoulder, her sight resting on the others who made their appearances too.

"Thank God, you're okay," Sabrina hugged Dan with the rest hugging their loved ones respectively - except Devon.

"We were kind of attacked in there," Trevor revealed, "Devon kind of saved our asses,"

"And it's more heartbreaking to know that your efforts were for nothing. I got information that we all needed and more," Electra notified.

"It wasn't all that useless, I got my weapons," Trevor gestured at the quiver sling on his shoulder and the crossbow he dropped at a corner of the room with a briefcase containing some high-tech council weapon.

"Okay, maybe not that all fruitless but we have a problem," Electra captured all of their attention.

"Tell us what you saw," Daniel?added,

"And heard,"

"Lia here..." she pointed to her, " Is a ticking time bomb, and no matter what we do, she's going to bring back an army of demons once they kill her demon side because the dark witches bound her to their will and she's immortal,"

There was complete silence for five minutes as everyone digested the information.

"I'm immortal?" That was Lia's interest.

"Yes. Your birth upset the balance in the universe and thanks to that, you're cursed to never die. To balance that, your kind has to fill the earth just like we have an abundance of other supernatural creatures, only then would nature provide your weakness - trust me, immortality sucks,"

And yes, Electra was right. Imagine having to walk the earth for over a thousand years, boredom would inevitably set in - she would have seen everything there is to earth.

"Am I the only one who heard Lia's bound to their will? " Devon raised the issue, "That does not sound good,"

"No, it doesn't. They must have done that spell without Lia even knowing," Sabrina turned to her, " Was there a time you lost something personal?"

"No, I don't - oh," Lia remembered, "I think a witch once penetrated my house, we had an intense fight,"

"And you didn't care to tell any of us?" Devon had a blaming tone.

"That was months ago before all this craziness began, Miss perfectionist," her temper flared.

"You said what?" Devon stepped forward, a murderous aura oozing off her with blazing tongues of flames hovering in her hands

Lia was not intimidated either, her aura overlapped with her forcefield, causing bluish-white light to surround her.

"Ok," Daniel got in between them, careful not to get burned.

"Alright, we need to cool off. Everyone here has had a tough day - I included. There's no need to blame anyone when the deeds are done already. We should all have some rest before we plan our next step," Sabrina advised.

"Perfect," Devon scoffed and left.

Lia ignored her.

"Electra," she called the girl who was about to leave.

"Yes?"

"You saw Asher, didn't you? How is he?"

Electra licked her lips and sighed, "I am not going to lie to you, Lia. He didn't look all that good but I know we are going to get him out, soon" She placed a hand on her shoulder affectionately,

"You should rest, Lia. After giving birth to my brother and his stepsisters..." she laughed, " You need it the most, "

"Alright," Lia nodded with a wry smile.

"Mom said she would care for the kids, says you need rest - supernatural or not," Trevor informed her.

"Alright, thank her for me," Lia pecked him on the cheeks and turned to the direction of her room.

This house was one of Asher's properties in another village, far far away from Little town or Kinney village. It was quite lonely with no other houses in sight - typical vampire building style.

"Hey," She walked in to see Daniel already lying on the bed. And yes, she had to share the room with him - not because there wasn't anymore but because she didn't want to be lonely tonight.

"You can still get another room if you want to?" Daniel sensed her hesitancy.

"No, It's either you or the kids tonight. But my mom took on the kids, so I'm kind of stuck with you,"

"Alright, come then," he patted the empty side of the bed.

Lia climbed into bed, resting her head on his chest with her hand lazily draped across his waist. Daniel turned to face her, playing with her hair.

"I know you don't like remembering this but how did it feel for your mother when your father, her mate died?"

Lia sensed the tautness in Daniel's body when she asked that question but he relaxed afterward and answered, " I can't describe that because I'm not my mother but there was one thing I can never forget, "

She glanced up at him, curious, " What?was it?"

"The spark in her eyes died. She became withdrawn day after day until she was nothing but an empty vessel. Inevitably, she died too but I think she was more happier leaving - death was a huge privilege to her. And Lia..."

Daniel adjusted himself so he could look into her eyes while speaking," I know you might think I don't know how you feel but I feel your pain. Just as you're afraid of losing Asher, I'm afraid of losing you too, "

"Well, I'm immortal, so you don't have to be afraid of losing me to death," she told him but Daniel wasn't satisfied.

"One doesn't have to die physically to be dead. Though my mom had been alive, I knew she had died already inwardly. Lia.." he cupped her face, stroking her cheeks, "You might think I'll be the happiest with Asher gone? Then you should know, yes I'm happy. But then, I've grown attached to Asher, so that happiness is incomplete without him. I'll help you rescue him,"

Tears stung Lia's eyes, "What did I ever do in my past life to deserve you? " She was filled with happiness.

"I don't know, you tell me," He began to trickle her.

"No, stop it," Tears gush out from her eyes while laughing.

Their fun tarried long into the night but with a conscious reminder not to do anything steamy that would result in the birth of more pups.

****************************

Ben had a smile on his face as he lay on the bed; he had done something brave today. He kept playing that moment he grabbed Electra's hand in a loop in his mind. He suddenly wished he had powers like Sabrina so he could replicate that scene in his head and someway produce that into a video clip he could watch anytime.

He was so lost in his thought that he didn't hear the doorknob turn or Devon dressed in nothing but a transparent nightgown getting into his room. Hence almost screamed bloody murder when she appeared in his sight of view, thinking she was a ghost.

"Devon, what are you doing in my room?" Ben was stunned.

But his mouth fell open afterward when he discovered she was almost naked.

"What do you think I'm doing?" she climbed into bed, getting on top of him.

Ben gulped, "Didn't you say-"

"Shhh," she pressed her finger against his lips, "Forgot what I said. We are about to go to battle and can't even predict if we'd live or not. So why don't we make the use of tonight?" her brows rose suggestively.

"Make your decision but don't keep me waiting for long, Ben," She whispered, blowing hot air into his eyes.

Ben responded by flipping her over, covering her with the length of his body, " Let's get to work,"

**********************************

Lia woke in the middle of the night for no reason. But she had the urge to patrol around in case something was off and damn it! She was right.

The building was built with glass thoroughly - Asher went all out with his resources - so she clearly saw four women standing a few distances from the house. Lia zoomed in with her nocturnal sight to discover their lips were moving- they were witches.

"Sabrina! Everyone get up now!!" Lia shouted with all her strength.

It was effective since everyone scampered out of their rooms.

"Oh my God, we've been discovered!" Ben almost went bananas.

"How's that possible?" Sabrina was aghast, " I personally clocked this place so we can be tracked with a locator spell unless -"

She strode over and grabbed Devon's hand, "Revelare," she cast a spell and saw it, "That woman put a tracker in you when you were attacked,"

"This is a war which we would fight," Lia declared then commanded Dan, "Take my mom and kids away from here,"

"I want to stay and fight," Helen told her.

"I'm sorry but my mom needs the help she needs in dealing with supernatural children,"

"Alright," she agreed.

"Goodbye Rex," Lia hugged him.

"Stay safe, Lia," Jenny hugged her tight, hesitant to let go.

"You too, mom," she pulled away,

"Now go!"

"What are they doing?" Daniel asked.

"Probably creating a chain spell," Sabrina answered.

"Then we have to stop them first," Lia said.
