“What are you suggesting?” I ask the evil trio.
“We have to kill her,” Alexander answers for the group. “It’s the only way.”
I know what it’s like to be hunted. “I will not leave my friend in the basement any longer.”
“You have to,” Autumn answers. “If Mother discovers she’s missing, she’ll figure out what we’re doing.”
“What the hellarewe doing?” I ask.
“We’re going to kill them all,” Everly smiles with her words, making my stomach turn.
I look into each child’s eyes. “Are you sure this is what you want to do?”
“Yes,” Alexander answers simply, with no tone in his voice.
“What about your other siblings?”
“They’re monsters,” Autumn answers. “They’re not capable of living in the world.”
“And you are?” I ask.
They look at each other. “Yes.” Autumn steps closer to me. “Alexander told us about the goat’s blood. My sister and I are willing to try it.”
What is the correct answer to this? I don’t know that there is one. “I can help you,” I tell them.
“How many are outside?” Everly asks.
“Two vampires and three lycan,” I answer truthfully.
“Are they strong?” Autumn asks.
“Yes.” I have no idea if they’re strong enough to fight a horde of immortal children, but they’re strong.
“Mother will be back momentarily,” Alexander repeats. “Tell your friends to stay hidden until we give them notice.”
“Alexander? What is the notice? What is the plan?”
“Mother’s home.”He smiles. “That was a funny joke, Mommy,” Alexander laughs just as Patrice enters the hallway.
“Is Mommy telling jokes now?” she asks, rubbing her hand gently through Autumn’s curls.
“She is,” Autumn agrees. “It was about a chicken and a road.” The three immortal children share another laugh.
“I’ve got more where those came from.” I join the insanity.
“Mommy has jokes. I have food.” Patrice sends a judgmental look in my direction.
“More food?” Everly asks. “You spoil us, Mother.”
“It’s in the meeting room. Do be a dear, Alexander, and go get it.”
He bows his head slightly, leaving us alone in the hallway. Seconds later, he returns with a familiar figure thrown over his shoulder. Fynn’s long arms and legs drag on the floor as he’s carried by the child vampire.
“You found another one?” Autumn asks, sniffing the air.
Patrice looks at me. “This one was close by. Imagine my surprise when I found such a large specimen lounging a few miles away.”
“It would make sense that she wasn’t alone.” I nod my head toward the basement door.
