A Chance at a Normal Life

A chance at a normal life

...

...

...

With a frustrated sigh, Chelsea slammed her

journal closed and laid back on her bed,

listening to the soft sounds of music her

stereo played. Shed been getting a lot of

writers block lately. As well as writing poems

that didnt make sense to her, or in writing

that she couldnt understand. She hadnt

been able to think properly, and got toofrustrated when she couldnt finish a line.

Just thinking about it made her angry.

Chelsea got up and, grabbing her key that

she kept as a necklace, she unlocked one of

her drawers under her bed and placed her

journal in there.


2/37

That was where she kept her most prized

possessions. Chelsea was very paranoid

about robbers, or burglars. She wasnt

exactly scared of them, but being the

number one news woman for the police had

made her very cautious around her home.

Shed put in security alarms at both the

front and back doors of the house, and as an

added bonus, she had bought a house thatwas just a couple of blocks away from the

police station. She knew it was just a matter

of time before something bad happened to

her. She knew there wasnt a thing called a

perfect life and listening to all the police

stories she had heard, she knew something

bad would happen.

Looking up just in time for her alarm clock to

strike 6:46, she cursed. She was going to be

late, even though it only took five-ten

minutes to get to the police station and shehad to be there at seven, she always gave

herself five minutes to ready herself for the

day to come.

Unconsciously throwing her key necklace on

the floor, she ran to grab her keys and her

work bag wished her fat fluffy cat Buster


3/37

goodbye and made her way out of the

house-

and got there in time to see a black sedan

drive away.

How odd.

Okay, she thought, now I think Im getting a

little too paranoid.

She turned and locked the door, doing all

three locks just to make sure it was closed.She jumped nearly two feet when a car horn

startled her.

Hey, Chelse! Chelsea instantly relaxed at

the sound of one of her police friends deep

voice.

Hey, Rick, She waved at him, and before

double-checking the door to make sure it

was locked, she made her way over to him.

Shouldnt you be at the station?

Everyones been called out to a reported

brutal gang battle. Im here to give you alift; its down near trade and Fifth Street.

Chelsea knew exactly where it was, but she

was surprised there had been an attack;

that was one of the good suburbs around

town, not known for any criminal offence.

I can follow you if you like, she offered.


4/37

Rick snorted. Dont be ridiculous, Chelse,

get in. He pointed to the blue and red lights

on top of his car. I can get us through

traffic in no time.

Knowing the argument was a waste of time

and energy; she walked around the police

vehicle and got in the passenger seat.

Crime site, here we come. She muttered.

Rhage gave a little yell before falling flat on

his face, and then hearing the sound of the

running machine finally slowing down. Hecould feel the layers of skin on his chin

being burnt away by the friction of the belt.

And it didnt make the wounds he received

from his slayers the night before any better,

even though they were healing. It was a

hard battle, but of course he and his brotherwon, but they left a lot of mess in the alley.

He knew he would pay for that later.

He growled as hard as he could, but it

sounded like more of a sick feline than a

lion.

Ha-ha! Rhage fell down! Little Marhio


5/37

squealed and laughed from besides the

machine, the treadmills electric cord and

plug in his hand.

Rhage had been going at 45kmh on hill for 6

miles. His legs felt like jelly, and his head

swam with the hit it received for colliding

into the belt of the machine.

You little brat! he snarled and as Marhio

ran out of the room, Rhage followed...andthen stopped dead when he saw Marhio in

his Dads arms, and his dad looking like he

wanted to rip Rhages head off.

Control your kid, Terrohr, Rhage

complained. Hes a nuisance. He rubbed

his chin and winced.

He was just having a bit of fun, Rhage,

back off, Terrohr kissed his son

affectionately. Wheres your mother, my

son?

Shes sleeping, Marhio said in an innocentvoice.

And where should you be? Terrohr pointed

out.

Dada, Marhio complained.

Come on, lets go to bed, say goodnight,

Night, Rhagey, Marhio waved before


6/37

Terrohr nodded to him and walked to the

grand staircase.

Frickin kids, Rhage muttered, before

walking back into the gym. Even though his

legs felt like Jelly and he was sweating all

over, he needed another couple more miles

to finish off training. And then he got about

four hours of sleep before he needed to be

at class in the training centre. Rhage,Terrohr and Blaylock took turns in teaching

the training classes for the recruits. Once

they went through the transition, they would

be trained to become warriors in the fight

against the vampire slayers.

Whats doing, Rhage? Darius came up

from behind him.

Hey, brother, just doing a couple of miles

before I hit the sack,

You got the matts tonight, dont you?

Darius asked and Rhage nodded numbly.Go to bed, true? You need some more shut

eye if I was you,

Why is that?

Apparently, Blay and Terrohr have planned

something for todays session,

uh-oh, Rhage thought, last time they came


7/37

up with something that they didnt tell

Rhage about, Rhage was hunted down

across the state. It made him cringe just

thinking about it. This was going to be bad.

Great. Yeah, suddenly Im not feeling too

well. Rhage put the wet towel across his

back; fist knuckled Darius and then headed

to his room. He could feel his tiger tattoo

move beneath his muscles as he walked. Hehated his tiger. A special gift from the scribe

virgin, it was. Well, really a punishment.

Whenever he got too emotional, this little

puppy would come to life. Pain normally set

it off, anger, and then there was the

physical frustration, but thats a whole other

story.

Rhage collapsed on his bed in a heap,

without even taking off his pants or his

daggers and went into a peaceful sleep.

Chelsea bent down and examined the blood

that covered the walls of the alley, noting

that it was black and not red on her

notepad.

Told you, it was worth it to come, Rick


8/37

said from behind her, making her jump. She

thought she was all alone.

Alright, thankyou, Rick, but I couldve taken

my car out here, Chelsea said, and Rick

snorted in defiance.

Nonsense, Chelse, what are friends for? he

gave a squeeze to her shoulder and then

bent down. Thats some weird blood,

Are you sure its blood? It looks too dark tobe blood,

well get the forensic team to analyse it,

Rick said and stood up, Chelsea following.

Could you see if there are any witnesses,

Chelse? Im going to go talk to the other

officers and get them to go around the

blocks and look for any weapons,

Yeah okay, Chelsea steeled her gaze away

from the black blood and went to on-lookers,

hoping that shed get somewhere tody.

The blood looked familiar to her. Somehow,she knew it was blood, and that it was bad

blood. Dangerous. She didnt know how she

knew this, but she knew it meant badness.

Trying to get back to work, she walked up to

the first on-lookers and got out her notepad.


9/37

Rhage entered the classroom to find

Blaylock and Terrohr already addressing theclass.

That is your task for today, fail and it could

be costly,

Do I want to know why youre here

teaching my class, because last time this

happened something bad happened to me.

Rhage said and he saw lots of worried looks

and a few smirks. Smirks? He must be

hallucinating.

Blaylock and I have set a task for the

trainees, Terrohr said and instinctivelyRhage growled low in his throat.

Hold up there, Rhage, you havent even

heard what it is yet,

But it involves me because I wasnt told

about this. Rhage concluded and ran a

hand through his hair.

Blay chuckled deep in his throat. Yes it

does. You know that scene that we

neglected to clean up last night because it

was too close to dawn; well the police found

it early this morning, Rhage growled again,


10/37

knowing what they wanted to do.

You dont have a choice Rhage, so sit the

fuck down and listen, Terrohr said but

Rhage couldnt sit.

Tell me, He said with clenched teeth.

Blay nodded and told him the facts, no bull-

shitting about. Rhage had to breathe slowly

through his nose to control himself. He could

feel the tiger growing bigger around hisback; its arm stretching over his and both

Blay and Terrohr took a step back and held

their hands up in surrender.

Rhage, not in front of the kids, dude,

Rhage squeezed his eyes shut and turned

around, not facing the kids, he took deep

breaths; two quick breaths in, one long

breath out.

Jesus, what if they dont make it in time,

Blay? Im going to be a pile of ash,

Weve thought about that, if they dont getthere by three hours to dawn, you can get it

done yourself, or well come get you. Its

their job to figure out the planning-

If you want me to control myself, you will

not tell me the details. Please for the love of

virgin,


11/37

Alright, Terrohr shrugged.

Mr. Rhage, you can count on us, One of

the trainees said and Rhage just nodded,

not trusting his mouth.

When do you want me to do it?

As soon as the shutters lift for the night,

Oh, the things I do to teach, Rhage thought

sourly.


12/37

Chapter 2Chelsea sat at her desk in the police station

and typed up her report. She had to finish it

by the end of the night and send it to her

boss at the newspaper for him to read. It

had to say all the things that happened, and

if anything major happened.That was her job. Sometimes she liked to be

away from the newspaper. She had to go

there a couple of times a month, but other

tan that she got to stay at the station with

the officers. They were nice and more than

friendly and she liked them a lot.


13/37

Nearly done, Chelse? George, the chief of

police leaned down and scanned the work

she had written down on the computer.

Looks good.

Ive done a piece on all the other robberies

and knife attacks today, and Im just doing

this piece on the blood we found covering

the alley. It should make a good story,

That looks great, Chelsea, why dont yougo home? Youre nearly always the last one

here. Have a night off for once, George

said.

Dont be silly, George. I dont mind. And if I

dont finish this, my boss will go bananas,

George laughed. Oh, God love you, youre

adorable, he patted her head and then

kissed it. A loud ringing went off.

Sorry, Love, thats my phone. Ill talk to you

later,

Alright, Chelsea said and he went into hisoffice and shut the door behind him.

Trying to make herself concentrate, she got

back to her computer and tried to type so

she could hopefully finish early. It was

extremely doubtful, but she liked to imagine

she could. On a normal day, she would finish


14/37

close to last in the police station, but there

would always be the night shifts to keep her

company. She almost never finished on

time. It was very depressing sometimes.

And now because she didnt have a car, she

was going to keep Rick waiting. Chelsea

thought itd just be easier and tell him to go

and she could walk home. It wasnt that far

away.Chelse! Can you get the door? Ricks voice

was muffled, and Chelsea caught him a

couple of meters away from the door. She

ran over to the door and opened it for Rick,

thinking he had a lot of paperwork in his

hands like he normally did, but she saw was

a big surprise to her, and she just held her

gasp.

Rick was pointing a gun at an astonishing

man, which was handcuffed, and mighty tall.

Chelsea had to tilt her head a little to seehis face. He was bloody handsome! Chelsea

knew she had never seen a better male in

all her life. And somehow Chelsea seemed

calmer around him. She knew she didnt

know him, but she knew deep inside that

she would probably get a long better with


15/37

him than even Rick. She was shocked at

herself; she didnt know where the thoughts

had come to her.

Chelse, go get George and some of the

other officers, will you? Ill take you home

soon, Ricks voice was strained, as he

literally pushed and dragged the muscled

man forward. The man looked down at her,

and she could swear he took a deep breathin and drank in the sight of her. She

swallowed unconsciously, and as his gaze

fell on hers, her cheeks reddened at how

handsome he was.

Chelsea! Rick said firmly and she seemed

to snap out of it.

Sorry, Rick. Ill go get him. Chelsea

managed to say and she reluctantly took a

step backwards.

No, dont go, stay with me, The males

voice was smooth and deep, and went rightinto her, warming her insides.

Shut up! Rick said and pushed him

towards the cells. Hurry up, Chelsea,

Chelsea got with it, and went to tell George

about Rick.

Ah, yes, he called and told me he was


16/37

suspiciously walking around the crime site,

and when they caught him, he was carrying

a lot of weapons. Chelsea could see such a

big male carrying weapons. He must be in

the mob gang or something. But then,

Chelsea always got a bad feeling when

someone was bad, or dangerous, and she

was usually right; this man didnt give off

the vibe that he was bad or dangerous toanyone, least of all her.

She sat back at her desk, and tried to type,

but all she could think about was the male.

The one with the spectacular eyes, and face,

and body. She could just imagine that

perfect body on top of hers.

Chelse, do you want an officer to take you

home? I cant leave yet, Ive got to look

after the suspect.

Dont worry, Rick, Ive still got a report to

fill out about today. Take your time, Shesaid softly.

Thankyou, Chelse, Ive got a lot of stuff to

do tonight. You dont mind waiting?

Of course not, Rick, He kissed her cheek

before storming off, and she knew he didnt

like the guy he brought in.


17/37

Rhage let the ignorant officer handcuff him

and take him to the station. Part of thisstupid plan was to get caught which he

decided to make obvious. Terrohr packed

him with the full packet of fake guns and

fake knives, to give the officers some

inspiration to arrest him.

Personally, he thought it was a bit too

obvious, but the officers didnt think so.

As soon as he caught sight of the woman

who opened the door, he went to complete

lust. But then it went straight to curiousity

when he inhaled. Instead of the normalhuman spices that they gave off, it was a

half human and half vampire. Like she

hadnt gone through her transition yet. It

was very concerning. Her change was soon.

The way she looked at him was as if on

some level she knew what he was, but just

couldnt place it. Like she didnt know. Now

he grew really concerned; if she didnt know

that she was close to her transition, she

would go into it and die. Unless someone

found her, but it was extremely unlikely. The


18/37

poor thing. Rhage knew what it felt like, to

be left all alone, and he didnt want her to

go through that.

Now, he was in one of the holding cells,

waiting and hoping that his boys would

figure out some secure way of getting him

out. It was doubtful, because when he was

that age, the only thing that would appeal to

him would be going in all guns blazing.Im going to get you and put you away for

as long as I can. The officer that was close

to the half-breed woman sneered through

the bars.

And how do you plan to do that officer?

Rhage asked slyly, and he knew he had

gotten to the officer because of the way he

tensed up. This was going to be his fun for

the night, he knew.

Youre guilty of something, and Im going

to find out what. Even if it is for unlicensedfirearms. Ill put you away.

Rhage smirked and leaned back against the

wall. Go knock yourself out, officer, Ill be

here.


19/37

Chelsea tried to finish her report, but she

kept thinking about the man. She just

couldnt get his face to go away from her

mind. She wondered what they could be

doing to him. She knew Rick could be

aggressive sometimes, and he knew he

could be a jerk. Knowing him, he would try

and find a way to blame the whole bloodalley on him. Even though he was carrying

lots of weapons, and he looked suspicious,

but Chelsea knew that didnt mean he did

anything wrong.

Finally giving up, she stood up, and tried to

walk towards the cells without showing any

interest. It was hard because of all the

officers surrounding the whole place.

Getting in to see him was going to be hard.

But she knew she could do it. She very good

at persuasion, she always got her way, evenwhen she was a child.

Walking over to the automatic water

machine, she pretended to fill herself a cup,

and then when no one was watching her,

she sneaked through the door that lead to

the cells.


20/37

Hey, Ms. Turner, youre not allowed in

here, She sighed when she heard an officer

walking behind her.

She turned, and held his gaze until he lost

the look of fierceness and she spoke in soft,

but firm and persisting tone.

I was never here, you never saw me go in

here. You have a headache, why dont go

and tell your boss that youre calling offsick. He nodded and went away slowly and

she had to smile. It took a while, but she

could do it perfectly now. She didnt know

the hows and the whys of it, but she

really didnt care that much.

When she got to the cells, there wasnt

anyone guarding them, but then she wasnt

surprised. No one ever did guard the

criminals because everyone was busy with

something.

She also knew that she didnt have a lot oftime before an officer came in and spotted

her.

As soon as she gave a peak into the cell

from the side, she saw him crack an eyelid,

and then gave her a grin.

I knew youd come back, she gasped as


21/37

she felt warmth flow through her again at

his deep voice.

I

He chuckled. Whats your name, sweety?

He asked softly, still holding one eye open.

Ch-Chelsea, she confessed without

thinking.

The male closed his eye, and breathed in

slowly. Chelsea. Such a beautiful name forsuch a beautiful woman.

Excuse me? Chelsea shook her head.

You know youre not supposed to be here.

This is where they keep the big bad wolves.

He said, making her smile, and he

immediately mirrored her smile.

Youre not a big bad wolf, she said quietly.

He tilted his head a little, as if to watch her

differently. And howd you know that? He

asked smoothly, in a deep addictive voice

that gave Chelsea the Goosebumps.II just know. You seem familiar, She said

hesitantly. Have we met?

He gave a knowing smile. No, we havent

met. But I know what you mean,

You do? She asked softly and bent down

in front of the cell.


22/37


23/37

Yes Chelsea trailed off. How did you-

I can do it too, Chelsea. I know some

people who can do it as well.

Im not doing anything, Chelsea protested.

Yeah, you are, Chelsea, The male said.

Time to break this puppy, An officers

voice echoed off the wall.

Rick can do anything, another said.Chelsea, go. Ill be here for awhile. Id like

some company, He raised an eyebrow as

she reluctantly stood. She could feel his

gaze on her until she rounded the corner.


24/37

Chapter 3Rick slammed his fists on Chelseas desk,and she jumped in shock.

Why did you go and see him? Rick

demanded.

I told you, to see if he had anything to do

with the alley,

And?

I dont think he does. Chelsea said quietly.

Did he tell you that? Criminals arent very

reliable. Do you know his name?No, Rick,

Then whyd you stay there for so long?

I dont know, Rick. Whats his name?

No one knows. Hes not saying anything.

Rick ran a hand through his hair. Im trying

to crack this guy, but I dont know how,

wow, Chelsea thought, obviously hes a little

stressed, but who wouldnt be when its

nearly midnight.

Well, then maybe you should let him go,

Chelsea said quietly and cringed knowing


25/37

what she was getting herself into.

Are you crazy? He was carrying weapons

that have no trace on them, what-so-ever!

And you want to just let him go?!

Jesus, Rick, calm down, Chelsea scrolled

on the computer a bit.

Im sorry, Chelse. You dont deserve this,

he squeezed her shoulder, and then stepped

back and thought for a minute. Come withme, He said and literally dragged her out of

her chair and into one of the interrogation

rooms that had policeman in there.

George, send Chelsea in there, Rick said.

What? Both George and Chelsea said in

unison.

Send her in, I think she can talk to him,

Do you know how dangerous that is, Rick.

Well all be watching. We can have

someone in there if she wants. I think she

can crack this guy, Rick persisted.Chelsea?

Ill go see him, Chelsea said.

Just stick to the questions we usually ask.

Rick warned and took her to the one the

male was in.

She braced herself, but when she entered,


26/37

all of that disappeared when she saw him on

the ground with blood coming down his

nose, and on his shirt.

She gasped, and ran forward, making him

look up and gave her a smile.

What do I owe this pleasure? The suspect

said as Chelsea dropped to her knees in

front of him and went into her pockets for a

tissue.Ms. Turner, dont go too close-

Rick, What the fuck is wrong with you?!

Chelsea said with accusing eyes.

He reddened slightly and got flustered. I-

Get the fuck out! She yelled and he left

reluctantly. She turned on the suspect and

put the tissue up to his nose. Im so sorry,

She murmured to him and he just grinned at

her. Are you okay?

Its going to take a lot more than a couple

of pussy punches to hurt me, Chelsea, Helooked and smirked into the mirror where

the other officers were watching and waiting

for a slip-up.

So, they throw you into the wolf pit

already? He asked as she dabbed at the

blood on her face.


27/37

Something like that, She murmured with a

little smile. What animals, She muttered

under her breath.

Humans can be stupid sometimes, He

agreed like he had heard me.

Jesus, look. Chelsea whispered to him so

the officers wouldnt hear her. Im going to

try and get you out,

Dont worry, Chelse, the suspect said. Itsnot going to take much to get out, and Ill be

out before you know it, he said with a grin.

How can you smile when they practically

just beat you up? Chelsea said with

aggression.

Ive had worse, he said. Trust me,

Oh, I believe you, she said and wiped at

his nose again with the now bloody tissue.

Chelseas hand paused when the opaque

window behind her made a large smashing

sound.What the hell was that? Chelsea muttered

under her breath. Theyre probably just

fighting again. She muttered an answer to

her own question.

No, Im afraid. Its my time to go, the

suspect said stopping her hand with his,


28/37

looking at the window behind her.

What are you-

the window behind them smashed, and

Chelsea saw a glimpse of Rick flying through

before she cowered away from the crystal

shards, screaming while she did it.

She was pushed against the back wall, and

then the suspects thick warm body covered

hers, a hand pressing her head into thecrook of his should.

You could have handled that a bit better,

boys, the suspect muttered.

Sorry, boss. One of them is really

stubborn.

Chelsea? Are you hurt? Chelsea looked up,

and saw five men in warrior gear, and her

eyes widened when she saw all the guns

and knives they were carrying. One of them

grinned and winked when she met them in

the eye.Chelsea, look at me, Chelsea turned her

head to the soft but commanding voice and

then regretted it when the suspects pupils

dilated until it covered his whole entire

eyes.

Are you hurt, Chelsea? He said slowly and


29/37

softly, and Chelseas head shook sideways,

still staring at his black eyes.

Youre going to be fine, Chelse, his words

rolled over her, entering through her and

going right into her brain. He wrapped his

arm around her, and turned to the men with

the guns. Is everything secure? he asked

in a very authoritative voice.

Mostly, the other trainees are havingproblems with some of the officers but

thats about it.

Alright lets go,

What about the human woman? Chelsea

dimly heard another man talking, but she

ignored.

Shes in my care and none of your concern.

Lets move. She was lead out of the

interrogation room, down the hall and into

the foyer where her all the main officers

desks were.Chelsea... a voice followed by a grunt

spoke, and Chelsea turned her head to the

sound. George was on the ground, blood

covering his face from a cut on his cheek.

She gasped at how gruesome it looked and

George looked up and his eyes widened and


30/37

Chelsea followed his gaze to the suspects

arm on hers.

George...

Run, Chelsea! he choke midsentence

when a man kicked him in the ribs.

Sweet virgin, the suspect muttered.

As Chelsea went to Georges aid, the hand

on her arm tightened and held her in the

place.Let me go! Chelsea pulled and the suspect

sighed and turned to another man.

Can you hold her for a minute? I need to

sort this shit out before we leave.

Yes, sir, the suspect sat her down and four

men came and stood beside her, one of

them putting a hand on her shoulder when

she tried to get up again.

Stay here, one them said. She watched as

George was brought to his knees and a man

came close to his face and slowly waved hishand in front of him.

Please, She whispered, Let me go,

Soon, sweetheart, The one that had his

hand on her shoulder said, unconcerned.


31/37

Rhage was impressed by the efficiency of

his students, being at least a couple of

hours before he expected them to be there.

But, then again, they were a bit sloppy;

beating up some of the humans, breaking

the interrogation room glass window. He

didnt like telling them off, but they needed

to learn the proper way of dealing with

something like this.Once he cleaned everything up, he went

back into the foyer where Chelsea was up

and practically clawing at Juans face to get

free and Rhage could tell he was a little

shocked at the ferocity of her eagerness.

The boys around him were just laughing at

the both of them.

Please, please! she screamed and Rhage

snarled protectively and possessively and

darted to her side, pushing Juan away and

pulling her into his arms.What the fuck is wrong with you? he

snarled as she started crying and pushing at

his chest.

We just wanted a bit of fun, Mr. Rhage. It

was harmless.

Chelsea, Chelsea, Chelsea, whats wrong?


32/37

Look at me, Rhage commanded and she

did, and then instantly fell under.

Whats wrong?

Her lip started trembling. Please, let me go.

I didnt mean it. I didnt mean it! she said

frantically.

Hey, hey, hey, he said and grabbed both

of her hands in his when she started to push

away again. Youre alright. Youre safe withme, Chelsea, Rhage could hear her pulse

rate slow the tiniest bit and he started

rubbing small circles over the main part of

her veins on the insides of her wrists.

Thats better, He murmured. What didnt

you mean?

I didnt mean to make a mess. Please let

me go...Ill clean it up again, I promise. She

begged, and Rhage could feel his tiger claws

going down his arms when he heard one of

his students give a chuckle.You fucking animals, he snarled at his

students and the smirks on their faces

faded. Get yourselves to the training

centre, and Ill deal with you there.

He turned his back on them and put all his

energy into her, calming her down and


33/37

taking the compulsion the boys put on her

off.

When she was stable enough, Rhage got her

address and transported her straight home.

I...I thought you were good. You said you

were good.

I am good, Chelsea. Youll see, Rhage

kissed her temple and then making eye

contact with her, he slowly brought his handin front of his face, taking her memories

away.


34/37

Chapter 4Rhage smashed through the doors to the

training centre and zeroed in on his students

which were sitting together on the mats.

Blay and Terrohr were laughing, but stopped

when they saw the expression on Rhages

face.

Which one of you did it? Rhage snarled

and all of them visibly flinched.What happened? Blaylock asked.

I thought it went well, Terrohr asked.

Rhage narrowed his eyes at the boys.

Come on Rhage, their bus is here. Let them

go home,

Without even saying a thing or waiting for a

command the boys ran into the showers.

Hey, weve got a meeting with the boss in

ten, so have a shower and get down there.

Well see the kids out.

Rhage breathed in through his nose. Yeah


35/37

okay, he said slowly. But I just want to

congratulate them on their task.

Blay narrowed his eyes, but nodded and let

Rhage go into the showers.

I knew you shouldnt have done it, Lash,

Juan said from the changing room.

Oh, its not that important, stop being such

a baby, Juan.

Boys, Rhages voice was soft, dangerlacing every word. He grinned at the sharp

intake of breaths and then continued.

Tomorrow, you will all be here at normal

time. Anyone who decides to skip will get

double the punishment Im going to hand

out tomorrow,

clear?

Yes, sir, was the quiet replies.

Good. Until tomorrow, Rhage said

smoothly and then made his way to thekings office.

Rhage just barely held back a growl, while

his fellow brothers Blay and Terrohr grinned.

It actually went pretty well considering.

Blay said with a shrug of his shoulders.

Theres something Id like to discuss with

you, Rhage said slowly and the king

nodded, ready to take as much shit Rhage

wanted to dish out as possible.While I waited for rescue, not that it wasnt

fun and all, Rhage glared at Blay while he

faked a cough to hide his laugh. But, I

actually found a woman there, before he

could say anything else, his fellow brothers

all groaned, thinking they knew what he was

going to say.

Let me finish! When they was silence, he

continued. Her change is soon, He spoke

slowly so the words could sink in. I could

feel it. But... Rhage paused, an image ofChelsea crying in front of him. She doesnt

know. She has no knowledge.

There was a collective gasp, and the king

rubbed his forehead. Youre sure? when

Rhage nodded Theo sighed.
