Seemingly Innocent and Strangely Sexy [Chapter Nine]

Jasmine lay in her bed thinking of today’s events.

She’d finally killed Charlotte

She’d finally kissed Daniel

She hadn’t finished the rest! She needed to punish Daniel. She needed revenge on all the hurt he’d given her. All the loneliness she’d felt. Twenty years, she’d waited and thought maybe he’d go to her and explain but NO! So she let him rot, while she harnessed her valkyrie powers. Jasmine had discovered that she was half a god the night she made the sky dance with lightening.

Four years ago, she had been hunting at night and had come upon a lone Lycan. Its eyes were black it’s mind crazy. They’d battled and she’d put all her energy into that fight, feeling like she was taking it out on Daniel. Then it’d happened, the sky had opened up and lightening had flown from her fingers into the Lycan. Turning him to smoldering ash.

Jasmine had walked home, lightening following in her wake. She hadn’t known what was wrong with her until she had entered the gates and Christine—Labyrinths wife—had told her what she was. A Valkyrie. The night she had been bitten, a Valkyrie warrior—Onyx, had given her, her power to help with the change. The memories had flashed in and out of her mind. Apparently the transformation hadn’t been working, her body had taken to the affects, but the affects hadn’t taken to her body.

Onyx had visited her that next day, and she’d gone to live with her and three other Valkyrie women—Kyrie(the heartless) Flazk (the crazy) and Blyth (the despair). Onyx had been know as ‘the warrior’—for these past four years. Two weeks ago she had gotten back.

She’d learned much from the women: that werewolves were called Lykens, and vampires were called wraiths. Jasmine had learned that she was a special kind of creature. A hybrid, the women called her. She had none of the wraiths weaknesses, but all of their strengths. The same was of the Valkyrie side of her.

She never aged, and could never be killed. She was a living weapon and she hated herself for that. She could command people with her mind. Move objects with a flick of her hand. She could teleport across distances in seconds, and she was completely alone.

The first fifteen years after that night, she’d thought she was just a super wraith, the wraiths had accepted her. But now that she knew what she was, they accepted her... but at a limit.

They treated her with respect in front of Labyrinth and Christine, but behind them with no one watching, they tore at her throat.

She was alone!

And it was all Daniels fault.

Daniel shook his head at what this woman Onyx was telling him. She’d shone up on his doorstep demanding entry of else. Of course he’d let her enter.

"No, no she can’t be half Valkyrie!" he said trying to deny the facts.

"She is Daniel," Onyx said softly. "And it’s your fault."

"What?" he roared "How is this, my god damn fault?"

"If you hadn’t of done what you did in high school, she would be with you, like you, in love with you!" she shook her head "But you fucked it up! You ruined my child’s life and now all she seeks is revenge, hurt, and to destroy. Did you see her tattoo? See her eyes?"

He nodded mutely

"That was caused because of her hatred towards everything. She cares for only seven people in her life: Labyrinth, Christine, Myself, Flazk, Blyth, Kyrie and... and... well YOU!" she sighed "Do you want to see what it would have been like?"

He nodded mutely again.

Scenes flashed before her eyes, Their wedding, them in bed together holding hands and loving, Jasmine smiling at him wickedly with her Lycan teeth. He blinked. Jasmine playing on the floor with two twin Lycan cubs. He closed his eyes to hold back the tears.

"Look at her now," Onyx whispered. More scenes showed in front of him. Jasmine killing. Jasmine destroying innocent people. Jasmine destroying her body with knives and razors, trying to feel pain, but not feeling it come. Tears streamed down his face now.

He turned back to Onyx.

"So Jasmines a Vampire and Valkyrie?" he asked trying to still understand.

"Wraith," she said

"What?" he asked "Oh right yea...wraith"

"But yes that is true."

The wheels in his head were turning at the possibility of all this, but Jasmine was his mate and he needed to accept the facts, not deny them like he did last time. And this time, he wouldn't hold her back from her powers or her hunger. He loved her, that was what mattered.

"Thank you" He said seriously, sobering up his nerves.

"Your welcome," Onyx said. Then she was gone.

He had to get used to that.
