So. I've been hearing from a lot of people asking about mine and Alex's book still. So, on the special occasion that Alex's birthday was March 26 (which was Friday), he's requested that I post a section of part 2 for you guys as an even closer look. Alex and I are ecstatic that you guys are loving our book so much. He says thanks and he hopes we get a lot more fans. Anyways, here by request of Alex, is a chapter from Part 2. Enjoy!!!
Chapter Twenty-Nine: Burning in Hell
After Ace disappeared, I collapsed on the floor, wrapping my arms around myself. I couldn’t believe it. I’d gotten Ace back…and I let him slip through my fingers.
“You ok…?” Blackrider asked, stepping towards me. I didn’t look up at him.
“S’not me I’m worried about…” I mumbled. I put my hand on my stomach as I looked at the spot where Ace had disappeared.
“He’ll come back. Ace wouldn’t leave you here. You and I both you that.” Blackrider replied. I snapped my eyes to his as they started to water.
“He’s going to Hell, Blackrider. Do you honestly think…?” I exclaimed, close to hysterics.
“I don’t know, Kasey. I’m just saying that Ace has never just up and left before. Not like this.” He sighed. I was silent as I thought about it. No, Ace wasn’t just going to leave me here, especially with his son. But he’d come very close to death multiple times. And he had just up and left….who’s to say he wouldn’t just stay there?
I thought about my baby. I didn’t want him growing up without a father; his father. Adrian was going to need someone to take care of him. I couldn’t do it on my own. He would need someone to teach him how to defend himself and how to make it in this hell of a world. I wasn’t any good at that…Ace had to do it.
“If push comes to shove…I can help you. With the kid, I mean.” Blackrider offered. I looked at him with gratitude, but shook my head.
“No, I don’t…I appreciate it, but…” I struggled.
“You’d rather have the kid raised by his own father.” He finished. I nodded.
“Understandable…” He mumbled. He held out his hand for me to help me up. I passed up his hand and grabbed his wrist, pulling myself up. Once stable, I mentally called for Aric, Race, and Dad. They appeared shortly after. Race looked around for a minute.
“Where’s Ace?” He asked cautiously. I opened my mouth, but I couldn’t make the words form. I started to cry again and shook my head.
“If he went and left you with that kid, I’ll kill him.” Aric growled. I shot him a dirty look, death in my eyes. Dad looked to Blackrider for an explanation.
“They fixed whatever problem was going on. But Blackmoon showed up shortly after and dragged Ace to Hell.” Blackrider explained shortly.
“That fucking P.O.S. is still alive?” Aric snapped. I nodded, my hands trailing to my stomach. A sharp pain hit me and I winced, hissing a breath between my teeth.
“Is the baby ok?” Race asked.
“I think Blackmoon may have tried to kill it, but Ace stopped him. Kid might just be shaken. Should be ok.” Blackrider continued. I sighed in relief. Thank God for that. I wondered how he knew, but now wasn’t the time to ask.
“Speaking of him, Kasey, your mother wants to know if you want someone to help you find a house.” Dad asked. I hesitated.
“I was…kinda counting on moving into Ace’s old house after we’re officially married.” I murmured. I knew Ace wouldn’t object, but I hadn’t brought it up yet. Dad shrugged and nodded in understanding.
“You can always stay at home too.” He sighed. I nodded. There was a long silence as we all reflected on this Hell-Dragging incident. I continued to let tears fall here and there. I couldn’t take it anymore.
“Can you bring him back…? Can’t you go get him…?” I whispered, wiping the tears away.
“I don’t know, Kasey. But I do know that Blackmoon is going to do everything he can to get rid of your boyfriend. The only way to get rid of Blackmoon is to kill him and bury him in Hell itself.” Dad explained.
“I’ll do it.” Aric and Race said together. I snapped my gaze from the floor, to my brothers.
“Why you?” Blackrider asked.
“Ace is about to be our brother and have our nephew. It’s just kind of…essential.” Race shrugged.
“Race, you’re staying here.” Aric argued, trying to play hero.
“Suck it, Aric. I’m going.” Race countered. He looked to Dad for help and received nothing more then a shrug.
“I said I’m doing this alone! You can go to Hell!” Aric snapped.
“I’m trying! You won’t let me!” Race growled. Aric started to teleport to Hell, which was something not a lot of vampires could do. If Aric went now, we were stuck here. And knowing him, he’d screw the whole thing up and get both him AND Ace killed. I curled my fist and nailed him in the side of the head, causing Aric to lose his concentration and the teleportation to hesitate. Race grabbed onto his arm and I wrapped my arms around Race’s waist.
“You can’t go! The baby!” Race exclaimed, trying to get me off of him with his free hand.
“It’s not like I’m leaving the baby here, Race! I’m going too! He’s my boyfriend!” I snapped.
“You stupid asses! Get off!” Aric snarled. Before anyone could do anything, we were teleporting to the pits of Hell. I thought I heard Dad call us a bunch of idiots, but I wasn’t sure.
Once we were there, Aric shoved Race and me off. From the ground, I looked around. Everything was covered in thin layers of smoke. The would-be sky was a bloody red mixed with an orange color. It was very bare land and very warm. I feared for Adrian in this heat, but I had a feeling we’d find Ace quick enough.
“You’d better hope we can find him down here without too much trouble. Fire shifting is an out. This is Hell. It LIKES fire.” Aric grumbled to Race and me. I stood up and looked toward my brothers. I shook my head.
Sorry guys. This is my business. I thought to them.
“What?! What about the kid?! You can’t” – Aric began. I didn’t hear him after that. I was too busy shooting towards Hell’s cemetery. At least that’s what my instincts were telling me. Somehow….I just knew the layout of the underworld. I shot forward as fast as I could, knowing Ace was fighting, not just for his own life, but for the life of his forming family.
Sorry it's not much but hey, this chapter's important! :) And what's with the "baby" you ask? You'll just have to back-track and find out when I send this out publicly. LOL. Thanks for reading!!
