Chapter 4

Surprisingly after my parents had left, Kull stayed quiet, which is really amazing because he was usually very talkative, up to the point that he can be very annoying which was his point.
I looked at him strangely. "What's wrong?"
"Do you think they know I'm fey?"
"No, I don't 'cause they would have said something." I answered back, shaking my head.
"That's a relief."
Both Aina and I exchanged glances before starring back at him. Kull had always been careful around everyone, even us, his friends. He never gave off any hints of his past or heritage us hes he wanted to. Even with his attitude with us, I can't help but wonder if this was just acting or it was really how he was. What I really wanted to know was how he could block my future sight and clairvoyance. If I really work at it I can summon the images of someone's past. I really didn't want to pry, but at the same time I was very curious about his past.
Lisa came up to us with a big grin on her face. "Do you think they will be coming back?"
"With the luck we're having, oh yes." Aina said as she looked up to the ceiling then at Kull. "So why are you here at this time of night?"
"I came to check up on you two after Friday night. That and if tomorrow's, um, today's hike is still on."
Kull was the outdoorsy type like Dad. Because Kull is fey, he dislikes being surrounded by metal. Only the human blood in him gives Kull a high tolerance of being in a huge city of metal like San Francisco. Hiking, camping, fishing, hunting, horseback riding, stargazing, and anything to do with outside of metal buildings. I'm fine with hiking and horseback riding, even stargazing. Daddy had a big influence on me when I was a kid about being outdoorsy, but I draw the line at caving and fishing. Dirty and boring. Hunting, I don't mind if I'm in wolf form.
"Yeah, it's still on." I answered as I collapsed onto the couch. Jenny joined me, now that she was out of the trance Papa had put her in. The living room's walls as well as the carpet were pale blue while the furniture was a Very light gray like the colour of clouds before they rain. The TV was in the corner by the window, next to the love seat. There was a set of three bookshelves on the other side of the window. The couch facing the door was on the other side of the love seat.
I can see why my family had thought that Kull was a total stranger. I had never mentioned any of my San Francisco friends to my parents or anyone in St. Louis, and the other is because on the bookshelves, there are pictures of Aina's, Lisa's and my friends. But none of those pictures had Kull in it.
Kull never wanted his picture taken or any trace of him that could be revealed to the public. At first when Aina and I had met him, he was very cold and distrustful with us, but with time he softened up. After all, he and Aina worked for the same detective agency. But all his actions, his very careful actions made me wonder if he was in hiding. Since I didn't know his age, I had two guesses. Either he was very old and had some enemies running around or that he was very young and had done something foolish to piss off an elder, and probably more powerful, fey. I was betting the latter from his attitude around us. Hey, I could be wrong. Evoothoothsayers can see so far.
Kull laid his 6'2" frame down onto the love seat. I was surprised that my family couldn't tell he was fey even though he looked the part. Long platinum white hair to his waist, sliding past cute pointed ears. You couldn't see the ears today because he had let his hair down. He had once told me that his ears being pointed marked his as a half-breed, not a pure sidhe. Kull has a body that every dream guy should have. Firm, but not over muscular.
His body isn't entirely perfect for his back is covered with scars as well as his left leg and arms of which he uses glamour to hide them. He didn't need the glamour today, except to tone down his fey looks, since humans do not glow, and to mask his scent or everyone, minus Mom and Lisa in the room, could smell that he was fey. Kull was wearing a dark gray tank top, his back covered by a sports jacket, and his legs hidden by faded jeans.
Then there are his eyes, which in my opinion, are his best features. He was wearing blue contacts, as usual, to hide his true eye colour, and I don't blame him because opal-like triple iris eyes will make you stick out. The colours range from golds blended into greens on the outer rim, in tin that different shades of blues and purples melded into each other, and last was pitch-black with flecks of gray-whites, all chasing each other around the pupil. The rainbow eyes were surreal, but pretty, no, beautiful.
Aina joined him. She is 5'8", an inch taller than I am, with dirty blond hair to her shoulders and misty blue eyes. Thin-boned withh chh cheekbones, not to mention leggy, you probably would suspect that she was a model instead of a private investigator/wererat/geomancer. Now just because necromancer and geomancer rhythm doesn't mean they are they same thing for they are completely different.
Necromancy deals with the dead while geomancy deals with the earth and plant life. That's why Mom is able to raise zombies during dark, vampires during the day, and munin a.k.a. werewolf spirits. Aina is able to make plants grow or un-grow, more quickly or slowly, not to mention, she can cause the ground, the dirt ground, to move, to rise and fall, or shake. Not an earthquake, she says she's not that powerful. Sometimes Aina is a bit of a clairvoyant because she can sense people using her geomancy, communicating with the earth if you will. Geomancers can also, in a way, see the future from earth signs. Aina became a wererat because a wererat in rat form had bitten her when she was 6, not because her father, Dr. Louis Fane, Dad's best friend, is one.
Lisa laid a tray of coffee on the coffee table, before she managed to squeeze out enough room on the couch, to sit down, from Jenny and I. Lisa has pixie-cut auburn hair and gray-brown eyes. She is 5'4", and broad-shouldered with slim legs. Hers ars are large and set in the middle of her face with high cheekbones and pouty lips. She has ears that are a tad bit pointed, suggesting fey heritage, with lightly tanned skin and freckles. Lisa runs a store selling psychic paraphernalia. Why am I not surprised?
Right now, Lisa was snuggling up closer and closer to Kull. I knew I should have kept my mouth shut. After I mentioned about fey heritage to Lisa, since her pointed ears were real and not cartilage implants that fairie wannabes have, she has been head over heels over Kull and has been pestering him ever since about feys. As I said earlier, Lisa will jump at anything or anyone preternatural, which often gets her in neck-deep tle wle with vampires, lycanthropes, etc. This often leads to Aina, Kull, and I to dig her out.
Kull is an easy-going guy, not to mention out-spoken and annoying, but right now Lisa was annoying him. I had to grin at this. The annoying was now the annoyed. Then again, Lisa jumped over Aina and me as well. Usually me, because of the hybrid part. Don't I feel special? Don't get me wrong, Lisa is one of my close friends, and who am I to point fingers when it comes to interests? I collect tarot cards and Aina goes gaga over rocks and trees, not to mention Kull who likes Japanese animation. Just don't tell anyone. A room full of weirdoes, or at least people with strange interests.
Aina was rubbing her eyes. "How many hours of sleep we have left?"
"About 8 hours till you have to get up for our hike." Kull smiled, his dimple showing, as he scooted closer to Aina and further away from Lisa.
I got up and headed back to the bedroom, of which I shared with Aina in this four-bedroom condo. Lisa had a room all to herself. The other two rooms were used as guestrooms.
"See ya later Kull."
"Ya, later." Aina piped up not so enthusiastically either. Like me, she was not a wake-up person. Morning person only if she had enough sleep. Tonight definitely did not count.
Lisa opened the door then closed it after him. "I better get some shut-eye. Gotta work tommorrow. The girls are never going to believe tonight."
Again, Aina and I stared at each other. Finally I spoke up. "Lisa, can I ask you a favor?"
"Yeah what?"
"Could you not tell anyone about tonight, please?"
"Why not?"
"I can't really explain. It's a long story." For the Master Vampire of San Fran, the Ulfric of the San Francisco Bay clan, and the Spanish-tempered Nimir-Ra of the pard of 'Frisco about why my family really is here for, instead of what they might think to be a Julius Caesar take over army.
Lisa thought for a moment, then finally answered, "Sure, no prob." Before going to her room.
I changed out of my tank top and jeans then folded them over the chair next to the dressing table. Yes, we had one in our room, plus a desk, a bookshelf, and a TV. I got out the black pair of sweatpants and the oversized t-shirt that I usually slept in. The t-shirt had 'Diamonds are a girl's best friend, they're sharper than knives' on it in flowing icy blue script. Then again, my keychain with my keys to the condo as well as to my office have "I might be a bitch, but I'm the pick of the litter" and "I'm not a bitch, I'm The Bitch."
Aina had changed out of Friday night's leather pants and purple velvet top to blue satin shorts with a matching spaghetti strap top before getting onto the bed. She lightly kissed me on the neck, on the big pulse of my neck to be exact, good night. I returned the kiss with my own on her right ear, nuzzling my head against hers.
Lycanthropes usually prefer to be touchy-feely with their own species. Aina and I are one of those exceptions. We've been like this for three years now after her fiancee canceled their engagement because he couldn't take what she was and her life, and after my ex-lover, who was an asshole to put it lightly, dumped me. Aina and I enjoy each other's company, plus we've each other for so long and had been through a lot together. We started with just touching each other, and now days it's just touching and kissing, though Kull likes to make a big deal about it with his teasing. If Kull made one more snide remark about Aina's and my relationship, his ass is going to be flying into the next time zone.
I said my prayers, with Jenny joining me as she laid her head and paws on the bed, before shutting off the lights. Jenny then started whining, her brown eyes sad, once I got into bed.
"Okay girl, you can sleep on the bed, but if you have buisness to do, take it outside." Aina said.
Instantly, Jenny leapt onto the bed, squeezing between Aina and I. I laid my right arm over her and gently scratcher ear ears. With these two around, who needed stuffed toys? Okay, Mom has her whole pard not to mention some of her and Dad's pack, but she still sleeps with toy penguins. Don't tell anyone though, she'll never hear the end of it.
All I had to do was hope that Jenny doesn't have one of her accidents for the remaining sleeping hours. That and hopefully she doesn't squash one of my legs in the morning because she had been sleeping on them. Either way, Kull was going to have at least one cranky female hiking with him tommorrow, but right now, I needed my sleep.
