him if possible.
I am pretty sure you can't kill him but don't
push the issue and try too hard. Just make sure no matter what it
takes or how many skinwalkers die for the cause that before you
leave tomorrow the camazotz dies first.
Oh and bring several very sharp swords so
that you can cut off her head and put it in a box. When you are
done I will give you instructions on where to send it and then I
will give you back your son.
And Óscar, I don't like your little brat so I
suggest you don't try any tricks. Just be sure to kill the
camazotz. If she is still somehow alive tomorrow I will take great
pleasure in killing your son."
XV~~ Taini’s Perspective
I know that it was my idea to ask Pau to do
this for me but no… well, I found myself second guessing that
decision. I was a superior creature and needed to overcome these
issues not wilt and give up like a weakling. I’d never in my life,
taken the easy way out and I realised I wasn't going to now
either.
If there was magic that kept Ulric's heart
from aching there had to be magic that would keep my pain at bay as
well. I made a bunch of calls and had several excellent leads. I
debated on whether or not to let Pau know about my change of heart
but decided he would figure it out when I didn't show up.
I made my final arrangements on the internet
and smiled to myself at my cleverness. Then, I pulled my few paltry
belongings together and went down to the lobby of the hotel and
quietly checked out. I asked the bellhop call a taxi that could
take me to the airport. I was headed to Haiti to see a very good
voodoo priestess. With any luck by this time tomorrow I would have
a new life.
The voodoo priestess claimed she could
completely cleanse my mind and my heart. She said it would feel
like I was reincarnated into the same body. I would recall living
the many years of my life but would no longer have an emotional
attachment to them.
I could start over and build new feelings and
new relationships. I wouldn't be tied to the ones that were
unhealthy for me. I could learn to be anything or anyone I wanted
to. It would take the majority of the money I’d saved over my many
years of life but it was worth it.
Money meant nothing if I didn't have my
intellect. I watched the cab pull into the circle and waited for
the bell hop to put my bag in the trunk and open the door for me to
slide in. The driver looked back and asked where I was headed. I
smiled brightly showing off my pearly teeth while hiding my
elongated fangs and said as sweetly as possible
"Haiti via the Las Vegas airport. No rush
however… my flight isn't until later today, so take the scenic
route. Thank you"
That wasn't exactly the truth but close
enough for him. I needed to feed before boarding the plane and he
was as good as anyone. I waited until we were in no man’s land
before I slipped into his mind and requested he pull over. I fed on
him until I was completely sated then had him drop me at the
airport.
As I walked towards my gate I couldn't help
but silently pray to the gods I didn’t believed in for very long
time that this would work. I needed a second chance at life. I
needed to believe that even my heart had some redeeming
qualities.
XVI~~ Ulric's Perspective
I looked at my watch yet again and looked
towards the horizon. I was completely on edge. I was pacing back
and forth like kid on Christmas Eve. I felt like my skin was too
tight and my stomach had jumping beans in it. I’d arrived far too
early and was having a hard time waiting for my eternal heart to
arrive.
It was more than a case of nerves. I wasn't
sure why she ran from me the first time, and I guess I was worried
she'd try to do it again. She had to know just like I did that we
were meant for each other. Hell she’d wanted me so badly that she'd
commit atrocities to have me when I was just a baby.
It made absolutely no sense for her to be
avoiding me now. I considered two possibilities. One, she thought
that I was going to reject
