Chapter 14
I found Jean-Claude and Asher in his office at the Circus. I walked in and immediately went to Jean-Claude and sat in his lap. Jean-Claude tucked my head under his chin and wrapped his arms around me. I always feel safe in his arms. He began to whisper softly in French to me. I burrowed deeper into his chest and sighed. I turned to look at Asher sitting in a chair across from the desk.
“You look very soft and vulnerable at this moment, ma cherie,” Asher said smiling at us. I returned his smile. “Only in his arms, Asher.” Jean-Claud's arms squeezed me a little tighter.
I sighed straightened in his arms. Enough comfort, we needed to get down to business. “Can you sense if this Alexander is in the city?” I asked Jean-Claude. I felt him open the marks between us. He began searching the city for every vampire that was his. Power danced along my skin and joined with his. I added my necromancy to his ability to sense his vampires. I felt it grow within us and start to rapidly circle out and spread. It widened to encompass the Circus. We felt every vampire, dead corpse, shifter, and … human?
“We are feeling the essence of life in the humans,” Jean-Claude tried to explained.
“It feels as though we could take that essence from them without touching them,” I told him in awe. Remembering what I did to Chimera, I drew back from the humans.
“Your necromancy seems to recognize that which gives life, as well as the dead. This is truly amazing what we are feeling, ma petite,” Jean-Claude said with wonder in his voice. “Concentrate just on the vampires, we need to know if we have any strangers among us.”
I built my necromancy up and, with Jean-Claude’s help, we began to try and widen the circle of power to methodically search the city for any unknown vampires. We needed something more. Somehow, I knew that Richard’s power would not help us so I reached out and called for Damien to come to me. I felt him rush towards us with a burst of speed.
Damien entered Jean-Claude’s office, stopped at the door, and stared at us. “Anita, your eyes match Jean-Claude’s,” he exclaimed.
Asher was instantly out of his seat and standing next to us looking at my eyes, nodding his head. “Oui. Your eyes are glowing the exact way Jean-Claude’s are. You are full of surprises today, Anita.” Asher held his hand out towards us caressing the air surrounding us. “You are building an amazing amount of power, mon ami,” Asher said looking at Jean-Claude. “I feel your power caressing through me, touching upon the blood oath I gave you. You must be searching the city for any unknown vampires with her necromancy.”
“The dead cannot hide from her. They have to answer her call. I wish you could see what I see, mon ami, it is truly wondrous.” Jean-Claude replied, smiling at Asher.
“Damien, I need you to come and touch me so I can draw from you,” I told Damien. He made his way to the desk and placed his hand upon my back. As soon as he touched me, we felt the power burst forth, but it still did not go beyond the Circus. It was as if it was waiting for something.
“We cannot hold this power here for long, ma petite, it will make everyone here loose control. We must let it spread out, it is too concentrated.”
“I wish someone would have given me some basic instructions for this necromancy shit,” I muttered. Blood! That is what the power was waiting for. I needed to give it blood. I took my knife from my wrist sheath and cut my hand. The blood welled up from my cut and I felt the power burst forth.
It was like watching a movie in fast forward. The power exploded and rapidly moved through the city. It searched out every vampire within and touched them. It was almost like I could look into them, take control of them, or drain their life. We searched every part of the city. We even found and touched all of Malcolm’s followers, even though they did not share a blood oath with Jean-Claude. We did not find anyone that was unknown to Jean-Claude. We tried to pull the power back inside, but it seem to take on a life of it’s own. It picked up speed and then just exploded outward. It felt as though we set off a bomb. As rapidly, as it went out, it came back toward us knocking Damien back into a wall. Asher was thrown up over the desk and out toward the door. The chair Jean-Claude and I were sitting in crashed into the opposite wall. Jean-Claude held me tightly in his arms, taking the brunt of the impact. We all stayed where we were stunned by the backlash of power.
I closed my eyes and took deep breaths trying to calm myself from the rush of power I received.
“I heard a gasp echo around the room. I thought it was from everyone trying to recuperate from the same rush, until I heard a strange woman’s voice.
“Why have you summoned me forth?”
My eyes snapped open and I had my gun drawn and pointed in the direction of the voice. My eyes widened with surprise. I was staring at a ghost. Shit! How the hell did this happen?
