says, “So you are friends with a king? Impressive”.
Diego responded, “I have many wonderful qualities”.
Ginger laugh and answers, “You gonna pay for that later”.
Diego chuckles and replies, “Looking forward to your punishment”.
Ginger grins and speaks, “We shall see”.
Their banter was stopped by a tall blond woman coming to them. She looked 6’0, about 28 or 29 year olds and Caucasian.
Woman says, “This way”.
Diego replies, “Been awhile Lucy”.
Lucy answers, “Diego. Hi, I am Lucy by the way”.
She was different; Ginger knew it at once because she was like her. Another indigo as she stared at her and when a feeling of Deja vu came over Ginger.
Diego says, “Lucy Ramirez is an old friend”.
Lucy responded, “That I am. Don’t worry we don’t have a past and btw welcome to the demon world”.
Ginger answers, “Good to know”.
Ginger didn’t now the procedure for meeting another demon so she just shook her hand. Lucy lead them passed the gates where there was guards posted everywhere like one would expected in a history book. For a second Ginger felt like this were a dream or perhaps a renaissance fair.
Ginger says, “I love the designs”.
Lucy responds, “It was commissioned by some of the best craftsmen of all time”.
Walking by she noticed all the guards felt the same- demons. Her thoughts were disturbed by Lucy who had read her thoughts. She knew from Diego’s training that she was powerful but without her guard up others will exploit her thoughts. This concept always felt wrong to robe others of privacy and a chance to have opinions. People were allowed to have thoughts, feelings and opinions. Sonia had taught her early on her abilities came with a different set of rules were she didn’t have to follow those rules but was that fair? Lucy cast her eyes down which helped Ginger get a feel for the person who felt remorse and shame.
Chapter 16:
Ginger squeezed her shoulder and Lucy looked up into her eyes. They held one another’s gaze as Lucy smiled and Ginger took an instant liking to her. Diego lead the way as if he had been here before which Ginger had to remind herself that he has. Inside there was a huge throne room was a long table that could set a dozen or more comfortably. A main chair for the king but the room was empty.
Ginger asks, “Where is the king”.
Lucy responds, “In meetings so on his way when he is done”.
There were three doors including the one that they came through and Ginger could sense bodyguards at the entrance. A few minutes later two men entered the main chambers or throne room one had to be the king. She felt his mind, it was a demon so the youngest of the pair was the ruler. The other man was in his late 40’s.
His thoughts weren’t masked and it was as if he anticipated Ginger reading it. The older man was a tatted muscular black man that was intimidating were the young man in his early 30’s ruler was a red hair, beard nerd if she had to describe him. He wasn’t skinny but trim like a swimmer and about 5’9.
Ginger says, “So who is Victor Lancaster”?
Victor raised his hand as Lucy laughs. The man is over 500 years old vampire, the first that she was meeting. It was no secret that Lucy could read minds as easily as she could but she didn’t hint anything to Caleb.
Caleb says, “Caleb Creed, king of the demons. Welcome”.
Ging er smiled to him, “And who are Lucy and Victor”?
Diego responds, “They are his royal advisors and the ones he trusted with his life”.
Caleb answers, “Victor is an old friend of the family”.
They all sat at the long table to speak.
Caleb asks, “What happened to you and your family”?
Ginger responds, “They are dead. What else is there to say”?
Diego replies, “We can
