I’m sitting in a club that I took over from stupid human who sold me his soul. I’m in a private room that overlooks the dance floor. My private suite is soundproof when I want it to be. Sometimes I need some peace and quiet, other times I like the music, but right now I’m over the music, so it’s silent for now. I have one of my minions doing my nails. I have to make sure I stay young and beautiful.
The door to my suit opens and Lynden Harris walks in. My latest recruit. I don’t know how well she will work out, but she came to me, she wants only what I can give her. Lynden sits down across from me. One of my minions serves Lynden a strawberry daiquiri. The girl likes her fruity drinks, I can’t blame her, sometimes I like them myself, but lately it’s hard liquor on the rocks for me.
“I take it you have some news for me?” I ask, taking a sip of my own drink.
“Yes. I think you will be very happy, mistress.”
I like being called mistress, it’s better than being a queen in my opinion, and only my opinion counts.
“Go on.” I hate being kept waiting.
“Emmy is pregnant,” she informs me.
I sit up straight in my seat.
“Are you sure?”
“Yes. Fate confirmed it. However, Life puts a protection spell on the baby.”
“Damn those three are always getting in my way. No matter, I can just work around it. This is perfectly delicious. You have done well Lynden. I had my doubts about you, but you’ve proven to be a great asset.”
“As long as I get what I was promised.” She eyes me.
“You will. Calder will be all yours,” I promise.
“Good. The Three think they can tell me what to do, but I’ll show them.” Lynden downs her drink.
“Yes, they are annoying. They will be the first to go when I win this war. Then you can have Calder all to yourself, no one can tell you that he isn’t yours. I give you props. The boy is pretty sexy.”
“He’s your grandson,” Lynden states.
I laugh.
“If you think I haven't had sex with family before, you are sorely mistaken. There are no rules in my world, besides, I make good looking offspring. What can I say?” I shrug my shoulders. “Don’t worry Calder is all yours. I won’t touch him.” I wink at Lynden.
Lynden leaves, and I’m left plotting my next move. Emmy being pregnant couldn’t be more perfect. I can use the child against her, make her join me. I just have to get around the protection spell, or perhaps I don’t have to. I could just say I have a way around the spell, after all the Three’s magic is the most powerful magic in the world, it would take a miracle to come up with a way around it. I don’t doubt there is a way around it, I just don’t have the time it would take to find a way around it. However, if I bluff, and convince Emmy I can harm the child, that’s all I would need to make her join me. Once she joins me there will be no going back, I will own her.
First, I need to capture the little brat, then she will be all mine. I’m sure she will be on the defense knowing that I will use the baby against her, but I have Lynden on my side. So far no one has suspected a rat, but then again there hasn’t been a reason for anyone to think there is a rat. I don’t really care if Lynden gets caught, I just need her for information, and she just gave me the motherlode of information. She has served her purpose as far as I’m concerned.
I just have to get Emmy, and then this war will be over. I will make her think I can destroy her baby and if she is anything like her pathetic mother, she will cave easily. Things are finally looking up for me. I thought with the phoenix and Calder gone I might not have a chance, but now I’ve just won this war.
