Misty laid out the map on the front of the car and placed her mobile on the corner and Avira’s on the other corner then grabbed a highlighter and marked out the route to the ‘dulcis somnium’ community.
“this is the quickest and surest way there, are you sure you want to do this, I’m with you the whole way Avira and you know that, I love you like a sister and I love you more because you still love my brother. So I’m with you, I have your back but I need to know that you are one hundred per cent in doing this, no doubt.” Misty told Avira who was looking over the map.
“I’m in this, if there is the slightest chance that my relatives are good I’m going to take it and see if we can stop this war before it begins. Of course there are doubts but I’m willing to try”
“That’s all I need to know, let’s go” Misty replied and grabbed her phone just as it started ringing, it was Seth.
“Sorry Seth” rang through her head as she remembered knocking him out.
She shut the phone on silent and packed up the map.
“You’re not going to answer it?” Avira asked turning hers off and sticking it into her pocket.
“No, you said not to tell anyone, and if I answer they might hear something and know where we are.” Avira nodded and walked around to the driver’s seat.
“Thanks, I appreciate it” Misty watched Avira straighten her spine and start the car then drove back onto the highway.
“How did you call me?” Misty asked reading the map and following the roads so she knew when to tell Avira to turn.
“I’m spirit right, well I was going to try your cell but you were in class so I decided to psychically call you”
“Yeah well Seth saw and followed me; he said my eyes were blue just like you and my hair turned white, like the blonde-white just like yours. Maybe that’s what I am. I can take on people’s characteristics.” Misty muttered.
“So what happened with Seth?” Avira asked keeping her eyes on the road.
“I knocked him out.” Misty whispered and her body shook with sobs, she was feeling so hopeless. Just over twenty-four hours ago, Seth and her had been hopeless teenagers in love and now they were always fighting and Misty was keeping things from him and hurting him.
“I’m sorry you had to do that, and maybe that’s true, but I think your hair is unique to just you, it’s your mood ring, maybe it’s only the psychics who can call you and change your eye and hair colour, temporarily.” She added as if to comfort Misty. It sort of worked, but the idea of having people in her head made her uneasy.
“I know how you feel, I hate being about to hear thoughts, but I can, and I have never told you this because my mum banned me, yet since she isn’t here I can.” Avira took a deep breath. “I can dream travel, it’s the succubus’s main power, that’s how they mate, I can do it but I can’t really get pregnant so it’s no use for me using it, but if something happens and we can’t call for help, I can dream travel for it.” Misty looked at her then quickly looked at the map.
“Turn left up here. And what the hell that’s how you’re mum met your dad? So after she had you she kept in touch?” She asked.
“I’m guessing so, my father is—was a great man, I’m glad my mother let me meet him and come to love him” Avira replied.
**********************************************************************************
Seth swore and ran out of the gas station with a new phone under his arm.
“They left about five hours ago, they should be there by now, I should have left school but I didn’t think she would be in trouble, I’m so stupid” he swore again and clicked in his seatbelt as Onyx drove away from the gas station.
“Don’t worry about it, at least your vision hasn’t changed and you haven’t seen another possibility, it means that nothing will happen to them, right?” but Seth was miles away.
Misty and Avira were on the other side of the road, they were being pushed by two gorgeous looking people yet Avira was screaming out.
“Grand-mummy, grand-daddy, why?” Seth tried to run towards them but a man grabbed him by the back of the neck.
“going somewhere buddy boy?” he hissed into Seth’s ear then Seth was greeted with the worst pain in his life as the incubus’s fist was rammed through Seth’s body and burst through the other side he collapsed as blood trickled out of his mouth.
“no!!!!” he vaguely heard Misty scream then she sent a gust of wind at the man and he let her go then she blew him to the ground and stomped on his head then she grabbed the woman from Avira and twisted her neck and snapped it off. Seth watched as Misty ran across the road and hugged Seth to her.
“Please, no I’m so sorry” she cried but Seth faded away.
Seth jumped out of his vision and looked at Onyx through the review mirror.
“you are so wrong Onyx, now floor it we don’t have much time” he yelled out of his grounded teeth, his head ache was back and so was the heartache of him knowing that he was about to die to save Misty; the girl he loved.
“What happened?” Talia asked but Seth shook her off.
“It doesn’t matter the only thing that matters is that we get there and soon, it hasn’t happened yet but it will.” He whispered then looked straight ahead if he could he would run there but even he couldn’t run that fast enough.
**********************************************************************************
Avira shut off her phone after it rang for what seemed like the hundredth time. She really appreciated Misty’s support and she knew what it cost her.
They pulled up into the community and Avira drove the streets looking for the houses in her memory, it took a few turns and they were in the richest part of the community.
“So what does the Latin phrase mean?” Misty asked breaking the silence.
“Dulcis somnium? It means sweet dreams, its weird isn’t it, I mean they are how old and that’s what they come up with but it’s simple I suppose and that’s what the incubus and succubus do, they provide very, very sweet dreams.” Avira added and stopped the car; the house in her dreams was in front of her.
She turned off the car and undid her seatbelt.
“This is grand-daddy Lucius and grand-mummy Hannah’s house, I know I should just say their first names but I only remember them as their titles” Misty nodded and shrugged.
“I never knew my grandparents but I would do the same” they got out the car and walked to the door with a deep breath Avira knocked.
The house was a three story old nineteenth century gothic house, with separate wings; the house alone was intimidating and then the sudden appearance of a young woman scared the hell out of Avira and she saw Misty shudder like a sudden chill went through her.
“Yes?” the woman asked she stood at Avira’s own height and looked exactly like her, this was defiantly her grandmother.
“Are you Hannah?” Avira asked the woman looked at her from head to foot like she was being x-rayed.
“Lucius I believe our long lost grand-daughter has come at long last.” The woman suddenly yelled then smiled at both the girls.
Avira noticed slightly pointed teeth.
“Our who?” a deep voice called then they got closer.
Grand-daughter dear, remember our traitorous daughter, she ran away with her when she was only three, do you think she would have come back if she knew we ordered the hit on her mother?
Hannah mind projected to Lucius but obviously didn’t know Avira could hear her.
“oh our grand-daughter, Avira, we have so many it’s hard to keep track, Peter has ten children alone, then Samantha has six, why then even Harrison had fifteen before he got killed” the man’s voice got louder and louder as he approached the door and Avira was face to face with her grand-father.
“But our youngest daughter, had only one, and that must be you” he smiled showing his sharp teeth which smoothed out when he saw Avira staring at them.
“Hello, I’m glad you remember me, as you said I’m Avira and this is my friend Misty” Avira introduced.
Misty looked away and held out her hand for them to shake, Avira caught the motion.
“hi, I apologize but I’m blind, so I can’t see your faces, but your voices are just darling” Misty complemented and continued to hold out her hand until it was obvious neither were going to shake it.
“That’s such a poor disability, would you please come in?” Hannah asked and opened the door wider. Avira grabbed Misty’s hand and pretended to guide her through the door.
“You may not remember this house much, but it’s pretty much the same, since the last time you were here, we like to keep things original.”
“Hannah, don’t start with the history and that of the house please, I’m sure the young ladies have driven a long way and are awful tired.” Lucius chastised and led them down a hallway.
Avira kept her thoughts simple and thought of the house and trying to remember as much as she could.
“It’s alright grand-daddy Lucius I would like to hear grand-mummy Hannah’s stories it helps me remember” Avira encouraged.
“Oh dear it will be easy for you to remember once you’re here a while, it will be like waking up from a dream” Hannah smiled and let her teeth lengthen and sharpen then the door shut and locked behind them.
**********************************************************************************
Talia whistled through her teeth as they drove through the front entrance of the community with the words ‘Dulcis somnium’ embossed over the arch.
“Where do we go?” Onyx asked Seth who had his head against the glass; his headache seemed to be getting worse.
“Straight ahead and go up the hill, the richest part of the neighbourhood, you need to look for the richest part of the place” Seth replied and opened his eyes.
“They are close, and there isn’t much time, Onyx can you feel their panic?” He asked sitting up, Talia felt sorry for Seth, he was so worried about them he was willing to ignore the agony and everything that came with it.
“Yes, it’s rising, we’re close” Onyx replied and put his foot on the gas.
Talia looked through the middle of the front seats and saw the upper class part of the place, including a huge house off to the left with a young man and woman pulling Avira and Misty towards a car.
“Stop the car!” Seth yelled and he unbuckled his seat and jumped out.
Talia followed this was bad, they were in the middle of the nest, as she had come to think of it and they would most likely have to fight their way out, this was very, very bad.
“Grand-mummy, grand-daddy, why?” Avira was yelling.
Talia saw Seth attempt to run to Misty but a man came up behind him, he didn’t know what was said but she saw the man raise his hand and push it through Seth’s chest, he fell and that was when Misty screamed.
Misty sent a gust of wind at the man and sent him back she turned around and stomped on his head then turned to the woman holding Avira and grabbed and twisted her neck pulling it off.
Then she ran to Seth and held him to her,
“Please, no I’m so sorry” she cried.
That was when Talia noticed them coming out of their houses and she knew it was time to fight, that this was where there war was going to be.
**********************************************************************************
Onyx watched the scene unfold in front of him then watched as Talia made the ground rumble and then it opened up sending a few incubus and succubus into it.
“That was for my brother!” she screamed then ran to Misty.
“Get up, fight, we can save him later” she yelled into her ear, Misty stood up and turned around, her hair was white and she was floating. She pointed her finger at about ten incubuses and sent them into the chasm their screams reverberated all the way down.
Onyx turned around and burst the water pipes and drowned another twenty or so, there were hundreds now.
“Force fields!” Misty screamed and she flashed a light blue as hers was put in place, Talia shone a green and Avira shone a purple.
What happened next was amazing. Avira double, no tripled her height then screamed.
Purple lightning came out of her fingers and she zapped about fifty of the bastards.
“That was for my mother” she stormed
Then picked a few up and threw them into the gaping hole.
“That’s for my Seth” she continued then she turned to over a hundred and they suddenly began to walk into the hole.
“And that was for my father you freaky fucks” Onyx was suddenly hit into a car but his force field protected him.
“How dare you mere mortals try and kill us we are by far stronger than you” the succubus hissed.
Onyx bent down and picked up a bit or busted water Maine and tossed it from hand to hand.
“Oh I’m sorry I was led to believe we would be fighting Incubus and not Slutty succubus too, I’m sorry I don’t hit woman” she flashed a pointy smile and took a step towards him.
“oh but you’re not a woman, you’re an immortal slut who stalks men’s dreams and think it’s okay to murder people who won’t follow your ways” he said then swung the pipe at her, she caught it and Onyx kicked her into the hole.
Suddenly it got windy and twenty or more were thrown into the hole. Onyx looked towards Misty and saw her breathing heavily over Seth’s body. She smiled grimly then sent out more wind.
Another succubus rounded on him and he sent a bubble of water to her head.
“This is slowly cutting off your air and filling your lungs with water, is this how you feel you should die?” he asked it as it struggled for air. It shook its head. Onyx smile sadly.
“Too bad” he muttered then pushed it into the hole.
He was suddenly surround by twenty or more succubus and incubus alike and he sighed then noticed the water sprinklers.
He pointed at them all and they began to shake then water sputtered out of them soaking them all but him, then he told it to freeze. They all were frozen solid in a matter of seconds.
He quickly turned to Talia.
“Can you make these explode?” he asked. She nodded and they all began to shake then they shattered into a thousand pieces and fell to the ground. He smiled thanks to her and turned to Avira.
“this is the quickest and surest way there, are you sure you want to do this, I’m with you the whole way Avira and you know that, I love you like a sister and I love you more because you still love my brother. So I’m with you, I have your back but I need to know that you are one hundred per cent in doing this, no doubt.” Misty told Avira who was looking over the map.
