you, anything
you would like, for a female infant,” he said, smiling.
    Emily laughed some, “No.”
    “ Consider it, Child. It
would bring peace back to the factions.”
    “ Call me child again and
you won’t get another breath.”
    He stepped back behind his guard, “No
offense.”
    “ If it’s peace you want,
then why would I give you a weapon?” she asked him.
    “ To even things
up.”
    “ It’s out of the question.
As it stands, the Equites have me and I am in control of my
abilities, which makes me the peace keeper.”
    “ Still unfair,” the Valle
Elder said.
    “ I’m pregnant now… which of
you gets the baby?” she asked, and sat back in the large
chair.
    Chevalier looked at her oddly and secretly
smelled her. Her smell was not off, it was normal, and he turned
back to them and grinned.
    “ Is that true?” the Encala
asked Chevalier.
    He nodded, “Yes.”
    Emily watched as the Encala and Valle Elders
began to bicker. Soon, their arguments turned into pushing and then
a fight erupted with the Equites Council watching.
    “ Enough!” Maleth yelled,
and the fighting heku looked at him. “Lady Emily is not with child,
but she has proven to us that you do not have the ability to
control one of the Winchesters, as you can’t even control
yourselves.”
    “ It is only fair that we
have equal powers to you!” the Valle yelled.
    “ We will get a Winchester…
even if it causes another war,” the Encala said,
sternly.
    “ Over my dead body,” Emily
yelled, watching them.
    “ That is all we will say
about it. You haven’t proven to us that you can handle a Winchester
in your faction,” Leonid said. He then stood and exited out the
back door, followed by Maleth and most of the Council.
    Chevalier and Emily sat and watched as the
opposing factions scowled and left the room, bumping shoulders
angrily with Emily’s guards.
    “ They are going to try to
get me aren’t they?” Emily asked, looking over at Chevalier. She
saw her guards move in closer to them.
    “ Yes,” he
scowled.
    Emily looked over at her guards, “You ready
for this?”
    One of them smiled, broadly, “They won’t get
past us… Wow, we really are guarding a Winchester!”
    Chevalier stood up, “I need to talk to the
Council alone.”
    Emily nodded and stood up with help, “That’s
fine. I’m going to take Allen down to the kitchen for some
dinner.”
    Chevalier appeared in the Council’s
conference room and saw all were present before he shut the door,
“Interesting.”
    “ Yes, very. Each faction
having a Winchester would cause an immediate war. Each thinking
they could obliterate the other,” Maleth said, as his fingertips
pressed together.
    “ Emily was right. She is
more of a peace keeper to us… their fear of her keeps them at bay,”
Leonid said. “If they had the same ability, it would most surely
cause conflict.”
    “ Not to mention, Lady Emily
made it very clear she wasn’t going to give each of them a baby,”
Damon reminded them.
    “ It’s different with
mortals. They are extremely attached to their offspring. There’s no
way she would willingly give up a baby,” the Chief of Finances
explained.
    Chevalier nodded, “Now, though, we need to
be ready for attacks. If the Valle and Encala team up and attack,
it is not going to be a pretty fight.”
    “ How many can Emily take
care of at a time?” Damon asked.
    “ I wasn’t there, but Kyle
said she took out 13 in quick succession, and over a two-hour
period, turned 83 to ash.”
    “ That’s not enough to
protect us against a combined attack,” Leonid said, looking around
the Council.
    “ It also begins to wear on
her. At first, as you saw previously, she could turn them to ash in
less than a second. The more she does, the longer it takes,”
Chevalier said, leaning against the table.
    “ We cannot let them get a
Winchester,” Damon said, icily.
    “ So what do we do? Take her
out of the palace to an undisclosed location?” Maleth
asked.
    “
