Kai sighed. "If there were a war between humans and Nons, who do you think would win? You've got vampires and werewolves who can only be killed with silver bullets, then angels and demons who are immune to human weapons. Then sorcerers like Cil, almost unstoppable in a fight.....then me, who can copy all of that.<br/>"We don't want a war. There are Nons fighting for us up there, without violence, and we support them as well as we can. If all of PM were to go to the surface and demand equality, it'd be way too easy for the politicians to twist it into a declaration of war." He was about to continue, but stopped and cocked his head to listen to the intercom. "Fuck." Kai swore, grabbing Mira's hand and rushing them back to Ghost's office. Almost as soon as they stepped inside, a loud crack could be heard, the source of which was Plum's small hand across his cheek. "What did I teach you, Kai?" She asked sharply.<br/>"Jesus fucking Christ, Plum. 'If you're gonna kill someone, make sure they're dead.' Listen, I don't know who the fuck told you I was trying to kill her, but they lied. I just told this one's boyfriend she'd been bitten. He went after her himself." Kai sounded a little bitter, and rubbed his face.<br/>Ghost stared hard at him. "Well. 'This one's' boyfriend went after a vampire, for sure. The La'Feyal woman."<br/>"Fuck." Kai said quietly.<br/>Ghost and Plum both nodded. "Not only that," the werewolf said through gritted teeth. "This one's fucking idiot boyfriend shot their daughter. Silver bullet."<br/>The blood drained from Kai's face. "How are the parents reacting?" he asked softly.<br/>Ghost shook his head. "Not sure yet. They're at the hospital now. You're on damage control. Take the human and get there. Now. Make sure we don't have to deal with the Beast."<br/>Kai nodded, and left the office. Plum followed, and Kai didn't question her presence. She would no doubt follow them to make sure neither of them tried to take off.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Silas rubbed his wife's back. "It'll be alright, Kallista. She'll recover, I'm sure. You and I have both been in comas before, and we pulled through." He remained calm, but his mind whirled, trying to connect events to find out why that man had come after them.<br/>Even if Cherry had bitten her, the man couldn't have known unless he was told...so who told him? His brow furrowed with thought.<br/><br/>Sent from my LGL44VL using Tapatalk
