POV: Aiden
We landed in Spain last night. I'm now at my Villa that I own here in Spain. I own at least one house in every country. I don't like hotels.
"The car is ready sire." Randell informs me. "Thank you. Let's go." We get in the car. My driver drives to the location. I'm meeting my old friend. He's not nessasarily a friend more like an acquaintance. His name is Thane. He's a wizard.
I'm not completely against their kind. They can be very useful and helpful. They just don't trust easily and everything with them comes at a price. If they do something for you they will demand something in return.
Their are different types of wizards. You have you normal everyday wizard. Then there are witches and warlocks. Sorcer, sorceress, mage. They can all basically do they same things but their powers do vary depending on the type of wizard you are. Thane is a warlock wizard to be more specific.
I meet him at his club. Thane runs a string of clubs all around Spain called vida which translates to life in English. It's day time so the club is empty right now. "Ah Aiden. Welcome." Thane greets me in Spanish. "Hello Thane. Let's skip the small talk today. I have an urgent matter to discuss." I say in Spanish. I have no patience for pleasantries.
"Straight to business it is then. What can I do for you?" He asks. We sit down at the bar and he pours us a drink handing one to me and another to Randell.
"I need to cloak someone. I don't want anyone to find her." I tell him. "May I ask the nature of why you need this?" He asks. "She's my one and in danger." I reply. "What kind of danger. What are you hiding her from?" He asks.
"It is of no concern to you. Can you do it or not?" I hiss out. "Testy much. It is of concern to me. I need to know if it would work. Depending on how strong a being is they could easily get through so again I ask what is after her."
"It's him. Darach." I say strained. A look of fear crosses his face. "It is very hard to over power him. I would work but it would only be temporary." He says. "How temporary?" I ask. "I could hold the spell for maybe a few months at the most. He will find a way through. I can work on trying to get through his if you want. It won't be easy."
"How would the spell work?" I ask. "I can do it from here. All I would need is some kind of connection to her and since your her one I can use you." He explains in detail of how he would preform this spell. "What is the price for all of this including breaking through his cloak so I can find him?" I ask.
"You know me so well. Going against Darach the price will be high. The price will be a favor. One day I will come to you and you will grant me a favor." He answers. A favor? I know it seems harmless but one favor can tear down a kingdom. I've seen it done. I agree to his terms. What the hell, kill a demon today, kill the devil tomorrow.
"Let us begin then." He says in English now. He holds his hands out for me to grab and I do. "Think of her." He instructs and begins speaking word in Latin. I think of Adalind and an image of her pops into my mind. She's sitting in a kitchen feeding out of a blood bag. I'm glad to see she is eating. Its 10 am here while where she is would be 3 or 4 pm.
I should call her when I get done with this. "Do you see her?" Thane asks. "Yes." I answer him. "Hold on to that image. Keep your sights on her."
He chants some more words in Latin. Suddenly the image disappears and I'm back in Vida. "It is done." Thane says. "Good. Thank you." I say. "Just remember you owe me a favor." He says. "Does that count to break through Darach's cloak?" I ask.
"No. For that all I ask is that you rid the world of him. Every wizard kind fears him and wants him gone. He would even enslave his own kind. His cruelty has no end."
"Believe me I get the chance he is gone. Especially now that he's gone after my one." I say. "Then we have a deal we will be touch."
"See you soon." I leave going straight to the airport. I had Randell prepare the jet so we could leave right after my meeting with Thane.
About an hour after the jet is in the air I video call Adalind and text her that I opened a call. I waited ten minutes before she answered. She dyed her hair a different shade of pink i see. Well if I know anything about her is that she likes the color pink.
I can see Jasper standing behind her in the background. "Hi. Your back on your jet again. Where are you going this time?" She asks. "I'm coming to you. It's done. Your officially cloaked." I answer her. "Was that what I felt earlier?"
"What did you feel?" I ask. "I Suddenly got this feeling like I was being covered in a blanket. It still slightly feels like that." She explains. "Yes thats the cloak hiding you. How's your lessons going?"
"I still need a lot of practice. Jas says I'm getting better though." Who? I hear Jasper groans behind her. "Who is Jas?" I ask. "Jasper." She answers in a duh tone. Explains Jasper's groaning. He doesn't like nick names.
"I'm surprised he lets you call him that." I say. "Well doesn't like it but he will. Eventually." She says. "I never will." Jasper response. "Jasper how is her progress doing from your stand point?" I ask.
"She's doing very well. She just needs practice. I believe by next week we can move on to the mind dive. Her strength is growing faster than I expected it would. My guess is that she is a hybrid."
"That sounds great." I say. "When will you get here. Oh and my dad wants you to call him. He has questions for you." Adalind says. "I will land late tonight. Around 10: 30 to 11: 30 so it will probably be around 1 or 2 in the morning that i will be to your pack." I answer her. What questions does Jax have?
"OK. I will let Cameron know so the guards at the gates won't deem you as a threat or anything." She says. "Alright. How have you been doing today?" I ask her. "I've had a clouded mind. Oh how do you like my hair?" She says then diverts changing the subject before I can even comment on it.
"Your hair is very pretty. I'd like to see your natural hair color one day but you do what makes you happy." I respond. "Maybe when I run out of colors to try you will."
"What is your natural hair color?" I ask. "Auburn like my mom's." She answers. "Whats you mind clouded with?" I ask. She fidgety around. "Everything. This whole situation. I'm not sure I can trust you. The bond is pushing me too but I'm not sure if I can trust the bond. I'm scared that I could die from all this. It's a lot of what if and am I's." She says uncomfortably.
"Adalind I want you to know that you can trust me. I don't expect you to. I know I wasn't the best to you and I intend on changing that. I am sorry I hurt you."
"I'm trying so hard to over look all of it but I can't. I can't forget the pain I felt those nights. That pain still lingers." She cries. "Dont cry. Please don't cry. I'm so sorry."
"Aiden am I not enough?" She asks. "Are you enough? Yes. You are all I will ever need. Don't ever think bad about yourself like that."
"What if one day you get bored of me? The first day I met you those were your words." She says. "I could never bore of you. Just think of all the things I could teach you." I say. "Like what?"
"I have an idea. How about we go on a date?" I ask her. She blushes. "Your asking me out on a date? Like and actual for real date?" She asks in disbelief. "Yes. Adalind Rickson can I court you?"
She starts laughing. "Court me? Haha. Wow you are really old! We just call it a date or dating." She says laughing. "I'm so glad you find this amusing. Answer the question."
"Yes I will go on a date with you." She answers. "OK then. I should let you go now and call Jax now. I will see you soon." I end the call.
I call Jax and all he wanted was to be updated on the situation regarding his daughter. I told him the truth of what is happening. He wanted to know where I'm taking her and I told him exactly where she will be. He was very happy about it but agreed nonetheless.
I close my eyes and lean back sleeping for the rest of the flight.
