Vanished: The Two Way Mirror

[Amorentia]

Continued from HERE

My hands were shaking, my phase coming on as I was apparted away from Marcus. When my kidnapper and I reappeared, I found myself face to face with Aqu Akah with his wand pressed deep in my throat.

"What do you want with my brother," he asked me in a hiss between his teeth.

When I tried to reach my hand up to my Pack necklace, his wand pushed against my windpipe making it hard to breath.

"I don't know what you're talking about." I choked. Just then I heard Jacob's blood curdling howl that told me Marcus had contacted the Pack. Giving myself over to the urge, I phased. The curse Akah sent to try and stun me crashed into my shoulder, but was ineffective. I could feel the extra effort it took for my body to handle this, being so far along with the four babies.  By taking me, he was threatening my children. The adrenline alone kept be upright. I wanted to tear him apart myself. Jacob's voice I heard in my head, along with Jalil's and Brady's.  

"Aqu Akah. It's Aqu Akah," I set through the Pack conciousness. There were curses from Jacob, Jared, and Jalil that were all in wolf form outside of the Garage. Lowering myself into a dangerious growl, Aqu stepped back a little. He raised a plam toward me as he talked. I felt a strange sensation inside of me. But I couldn't hear anything he was staying. My heart was racing. Hysterically pleads flowed through my mind with fear for the babies inside me as I vowed if I was going to go down I was going to go down fighting. Hearing my murderious thoughts. Jacob tried to calm me, steading my temper to wait till they arrive. Nessie ran up to him gathering information with her gift to give to Marcus an the rest of the unphased Pack. As was always the case with Jacob, I calmed a bit. Jacob was right, my revenge wasn't more important than the safety of my babies. 

Marcus wasted no time. Through Jacob's connection I could see he was pale and distraught. Hearing Aqu's name from Nessie, he grabbed a ahold of Jacob and Jared apparting them outside the house. I barked loudly to cover the sound of them arriving. The rest of the Pack use their necklaces to join them outside of the house.  

The directions were given quickly. Jacob and Paul took charge surrounding the house. I was poised, cornered and dangerious, ready to spring. In my mind I drew up every bit of fighting skill I had learned from the guys. Reading the Pack conciousness I knew the plan. I readied myself.

With a blast of splintered wood and shattered glass all seventeen of my Pack mates from La Push and Great Hallow, along with Marcus burst into the house. Jacob, Embry, Marcus and Jared burst down the front door with Nessie following behind them. Aqu was knocked backwards in shock. I took the opportunity to reposstion myself to safety. In an instant Jared and Jacob were growling ferociously with barred teeth already poised between Aqu and myself. Marcus stood in front of me with one arm out protectively, and his wand ready eyes, hard and cold. The growls rose to a terrifying pitch as Aqu Akah found himself completely out numbered and surrounded. Embry came up on the otherside of me standing close - fiercly protective. Feeling my tense fear he told me, "I'm here, Peni. We're here."

Breathing a sigh of relief I leaned into Embry trying to accept I was okay now. There was no reason to still be afraid. Slowly Akah started to loose his defensive posture. Before the guys could pounce on him, Akah held his hands up in surrender. Tossing his wand aside he said, "I don't want to hurt anybody if I don't have to."

"With your what?" Marcus scoffed.

"He'd probably freak out if we moved closer." Jared said to Jacob.  They inched forward. Aqu watched them apprehensively. "Dude, growl again and make that guy crap his pants." Jacob's said. Laughs rolled around the Pack followed suit. The African man looked wearily at everyone around him before turning to me saying, "I just want to know what you want with Treylan Zabini."

To help translate the communication, Nessie touched Marcus with one hand as I pushed against her leg so he could hear me say through the Pack conciousness, "That's Blaise's Father." It all struck me now when he said over and over again about his brother - he meant Blaise's Father. Aqu Akah was brother to Blaise's Father, Uncle to Blaise, Great Uncle to Deni and Bliss.

"You don't want to kill anyone. I've been no threat to you." The African Man said. There was collective laughter at that statement. Stretching out his hand again, all of our shoulders bent as if an Alpha gave us a command. Ferocious growls raised. A smile spread across his dark lips.

"Can we kill him now?" Marcus asked impatiently. The grind of his jaw sent a shiver down me.

Nessie spoke my words for me, "I never poised a probelm to your brother. It's you who has threatened me and my children."

Stepping forward, Aqu grabbed a hold of Nessie's arm. Jacob snarled, raring up. With a raised hand Aqu stopped him in midair.

"Jake are you okay?" Jared asked as some of the Pack advanced.  

Like and invisible wave, a calm was sent from Aqu Akah throughout the room that spoke peace to the animals within us poised to attack.

Jared shook his head. "I hate these magical guys. Did you feel that? I kind of want to pee on his leg now. But, Pen would get mad."

Tapping into Nessie connection to everyone in the room quickly Akah begain flashing images of my visits to Blaise's Father. First was my visit when pregnant with Bliss when he helped give me the potion for the Werewolf poison. After that were all the times I watched him from a distance, the images I sent him through dream weaving, all the way up to last night and all of the horrific images of death and distruction I sent him. Then he fed back to me images of him coming into my dreams, watching my family, using my own gifts against me to disable me from contacting him. My knees almost gave way. 

"You're realted to Blaise? I was his wife. I've been trying to help him." Nessie spoke my message for me. 

"I am Blaise Zabini's Father. Aqu Akah is my brother. I have taken his place today to speak with you today. What do you want with me?"

Blaise's Father? But his face was not as I remembered. He was wearing Aqu Ahah's face. Voices rang through the Pack conciousness warning me against my plan, this could be a trap, but I knew with them around I was safe. So I could speak to him directly, I phased back.

Without shame, Blaise's Father looked over my body his eyes stopping over my swelled breasts and large stomach. Embry was the first to pounce forward with a fearsome growl. Marcus moved in front of me blocking me from Treylan's peircing eyes. The Pack inched foward, teeth barred, seeing his glare as a direct threat. Now dressed, I leaned againt Marcus back trying to gain my barings and stay on my feet. The shadow person and nightmares all made sense. "Smoke on the wind," is what Morowa called Blaise's Father.

Jared shifed himself saying, "Pen, don't get mad." Raising a leg, and urinating on Treylan Zabini's leg.

Zabini senior laughed shaking his leg. "I would have thought you were housebroken."

Holding onto Marcus for support, I looked over at Treylan. The rage, the fear, the exasperation, pushed my pregnant hormones too far I began to cry. Akah looked away. The expression on his face reminded me of Blaise. Though Blaise never turned his face from my tears, from other women he turned his head as if the tears were indecent. 

Everything with Blaise had been too long of a journey for me to hold back anything. Marcus held onto me to keep me standing. My chest  heaving from sobs.  Suddenly the culmination of all of the work I've been trying to do came together. Through sobs I spilled to Blaise's Father everything that happened since Blaise saw Fabunni at our Great Hallow House the day after Bliss was born. I told him all about Blaise's Mother's captivity, Blaise's bethrothal, the man hunt Dean and Blaise have been on for him, and all the ways in which I have been trying to help them. "Can you help him now. Please...."

His face changed kinder with concern, "Please, calm down. Your body needs you to. If you can call you Pack off, I can help them now. I'm reaching for my wand...." There were growls he moved slowly to grab his wand. No one attacked. With a flick a guilded hand mirror flew across the room to him. Turning to Marcus he said, "Satch her... her bodies about to crash...." Then he spoke to the mirror, "Aqu... Aqu..... brother...".  As he began speaking in Yorba, the world went dark as I collapsed into Marcus's arms.
