Ch. 1.6

For several days she tried to find something to distract herself from emotional worries about Lariel. This handsome vampire aroused her rapid love, but she wasn't ready live with him.

She was very frightened of male voice behind her:

"Hello, Kamily!"

Turning around she saw a huge winged tall man in tight purple clothes. His appearance was fabulous like Lariel's but his face features were softer and his hair with a bright blue tint in the form of spiky strands stuck out randomly in all directions. He gazed at the girl kindly with large expressive lilac eyes.

Kamily angrily blurted out:

"Another vampire! What do you want?"

She pointed a small knife at him.

"Do not come to me!"

"I'm Erin. I want to apologize for my brother. I know he offended you, put away the knife, please, I won't do anything to you, - he raised his hands up. - Believe me!"

"I see! So fly away from there, I didn't expect the guests," - she shout aggressively.

"I want to explain why everything happened this way, to help you cope with this situation."

"There is no any situation, I am just not going to have any relationship with anyone from your tribe. You are dangerous creatures using your charming and magic to get the attention of naive women.

Syrinx was dumbfounded by such a statement.

"You are pregnant… so I am not going to harm you."

"What? Pregnant? What kind of nonsense are you talking about?

"It is difficult for me to explain this due to the difference in our cultures, but I know that he has already been conceived. That's exactly what my brother seduced you for."

Kamily lowered to the ground and screamed:

"Why do you do this, what kind of bullying is it?"

"So I want to explain, - Erin sat down nearby. - There are no women in our tribe, but the souls of our dead warriors need to be reborn into new bodies. So for many centuries we have relationships with women and take babies. My brother and I were born this way."

She looked curiously at Erin.

"I know it's not easy for you to accept all this, but it seems that fate brought us together for a reason, tell me why you ended up here alone, far from human settlements?"

"My mother gave birth to me here, she didn't remember anything where I came from, she died recently."

"My condolences. Your eyes… remain me someone. Looks like your father is one of us, I can track him down if he's still alive."

"No, no, since he left us, I don't want to know him either."

"Something happened to him, since he left you, most likely he died. I feel a spiritual connection between us."

"Why don't I have wings then?"

"Halfbloods don't always have wings. Sorry!"

"It's a shame, I would like to fly!"

Erin continued to look at her with interest. It seemed strange to her that the star-shaped pupils of his eyes widened so much displacing the lilac iris revealing his excitement.

"You can live with the syrinxes as my wife. I am able to protect you from the men of Azaren. They will definitely find you here.

"Thank you, but I'm not looking for a husband and I'm satisfied with my loneliness."

"I see… You don't like me as a man, but then I can be your mentor. I will teach you magic, because you are a halfblood and you must have the ability from your father."

"Sounds tempting. Are you also a mage like your brother?"

"Yes, but his soft flame is meant for creation from scratch, while mine is hard, combative, for total annihilation."

"That is why do you need those gloves?"

"It's for protection so I don't burn anything. It's hard for me to cope with it so far, I have to isolate it"

He took off one glove and his hand blazed with a bright purple fire. Kamily screamed in surprise, and he put his arm back on.

"And if I remove both, lightning will appear in the form of a fireball. Such abilities do not get from birth but after decades of training. I am a living weapon and I participate in battles constantly."

"I saw someone picked up your brother."

"Our father Darien, he is about six hundred years old."

Erin stood up and walked closer to Kamily.

She jumped up with alarm in her eyes, wrapping her arms around herself.

"I hope we become friends and you won't reject my help. I'm not gonna use you like Lariel. Trust me..."

His incredible sparkling eyes were mesmerizing, and she drowned in them.

"Do you promise me that everything will be fine with you?"

She nodded back at him.

"I will visit you and fulfill all your desires."

"What about your brother? I don't want to see him." - Kamily lowered her eyes.

"And you won't see him, he still can't fly yet, and I'm not going to drag him here," - Erin assured her.

"Did he ask me to visit?"

"No, he didn't ask. He begged me not to come close to you."

"Why did you come then, if he is against it?"

"You need care and protection."

"But I don't want to be pregnant!" - Kamily expressed.

"I understand you, this is not your choice but since it happened ..., I take full responsibility and undertake to help you in everything."

"How strange you are, you are so worried about someone else's child, who has not arrived yet."

Kamily eyed the syrinx suspiciously.

"He is not a stranger to me, and I must make every effort for his successful birth. I have to go, see you soon!"

Erin gave her a warm adoring look, stepped aside and flapping his wings took off into the air.

Kamily gazed after him fascinated until he disappeared from view.

Elegant longhair blondie begged for a long time outside the door to let him in and finally Lariel allowed to enter.

"Honey! What's going on with you? I'm so worried and you refuse to chat with me."- Tolesio wrapped his arms around his waist hugging him.

"Leave me alone!" - Lariel muttered irritably throwing off his hands.

"Come on, I can heal your wing, don't drive me away!"

Tolesio carefully examined the splint placed on the fracture and put his hands on it.

"Are you depressed because of our dead brothers? How can I help you?"

"You won't be able to help me with my problem besides you would harm me with your intervention," - growled Lariel.

"Are you in love with someone? - Tolesio's voice trembled. - Well, I can stand it just don't leave me."

"One girl is pregnant by me and Erin also wants her and our unborn child, taking advantage of my injury, to be with her and seduce her."

"Have you met a girl? - Tolesio asked absently. - Wow! When did you have time? And he didn't tell me anything..."

"When I wandered through the forest after surviving I met her accidentally and slept with her under hypnosis."

"Is she beautiful?"

"Is that the only thing you're interested in?"

"Of course! I need to know who stole your heart."

"That's it, you should not know anything about her, so as not to harm her and me," - said Lariel.

"I would never harm you, my love. The child is wonderful, I will gladly help raise him."

"I actually want to live with Kamily and my baby. I don't think she'll understand our relationship."

"She is mortal, she will get old quickly!"

"I'm going to turn her into…"

"Oh, no! Why? — Tolesio got upset shaking his head. — It's forbidden by your father. She would not survive the transformation…"

"We will see. It pisses me off that Erin is near her. She would fall in love with him and will not give me my baby."

"I can follow Erin and tell you what's going on between them. Please do not reject my care and me. Bite me for your recovery!"

Tolesio clung to Lariel pressing neck to his lips and pearly pink liquid flowed over the pale skin with a sucking sound.
