Chapter 14: “ Falcon”

 

After they were done eating and Julian cleaned up a little, they headed out, towards the ocean.

 

The walk itself, only took and hour and a half after Julian made his wolf, Julius, stay at the house to keep guard.

 

When they reached the Oceanside beach, there was a little docking area with a big ass pirate looking ship with white sails and a mermaid at the bow. Tempest saw writing on the port side of the ship saying ‘The Blandrake’

 

All of the sudden a man looked over the port side at them and waved. Nicolae waved back. “Jacques, I give you Skyler.”

 

It was hard to see but he seemed really happy as he bolted out of site before debarking  from the ship.

 

When he got to them, he without talking, kissed Nicolae full on the lips, which Nicolae kissed right back.

 

Tempest glanced sideway to see Jacques smile. He finally saw how happy his little brother was and that made him happy for him. That’s when Tempest noticed that Skyler was black. Well that explains why it was hard to see him on the ship…

 

After the kiss, Nicolae chuckled before introducing his lifemate to them. “This is Julian Vlad, my brother Jacques, and Tempest. She’s the one Skyler.” Nicolae said presenting them as he said their names.

 

Skyler nodded to each before stopping at Tempest. “The prophecy. Father will be very happy to finally meet you, he has been waiting for you.” Skyler announced, grabbing Tempest’s right hand and kissed it, Tempest smiled.

 

There was a very loud boom coming from the ship and they saw Skyler roll his eyes. “If Dayan doesn’t calm down soon I’m going to kill him myself.”

 

Nicolae smile. “Oh come on Skyler, you would never kill your god father.” Nicolae said with a peck on Skyler’s cheek.

 

“True but he is still getting on my last nerve.” Skyler responded smiling.

 

“SKYLER!” Came a loud voice from the ship.

 

Before any of them could respond, a man came stomping off of the ship. He looked pissed. “Everyone Dayan Falcon, Dayan everyone.” Skyler said in a bored tone.

 

“Where the HELL is my medication!?” Dayan yelled in Skyler’s face.

 

Skyler didn’t even act like he was there. “Dayan calm down already, we’ll help you look for them okay.” Nicolae said, stepping in between them.

 

They saw the angry man turn into a completely calmed one. That’s when they could finally take him in. Dayan had long brown hair in dread-locks, brown eyes and tanned skin.

 

“Dayan Falcon, but call me Uncle Falcon love.” Falcon said as he bowed and kissed her hand.

 

Tempest was about to ask why he said uncle as he released her hand, but someone else yelled from the ship and there was a crash. “Falcon you big gorilla! Pick up after yourself sometime!” Yelled a woman.

 

“Skyler your sister is pissing me off.” Falcon responded calmly.

 

Skyler shook head but back off for some reason. When Tempest turned around she knew why he backed off. A woman looking like Skyler was smiling evilly behind Falcon.

 

“Tamara…” Falcon said before turning around.

 

“Dayan… stop leaving stuff lying around or I’ll make sure you never have to worry about your meds again and you daughter, Savannah, won‘t see you again” Skyler’s sister said in a very threatening but calm tone, which only made it sound more threatening.

 

Falcon turned and aboard his ship. “Falcon?” Skyler asked. “I’ll clean it up.” Falcon answered…

 

Skyler’s eyes got big and he chuckled. “Tamera you’re evil.”

 

“Maybe, but it did get him to clean up his mess, didn’t it?” Tamera responded crossing her arms in front of her, smiling.

 

“Tamera, this is Nicolae’s brother, Jacques, Julian, and THIS is Tempest.” Skyler introduced them to his sister, who, now looking closely, looked like she could be his twin.

 

“Nice to meet you, especially you Tempest.” Tamera said, nodding to them but smile at Tempest. “Skyler it’s not time yet, she still has a month before it’s time for the ‘key’ to come back around. The planets need to be in the right positions or it won’t work.”

 

“I know sis. Nicolae wanted to see his brother, besides we needed supplies.” Skyler answered.

 

“I wanted them to meet Skyler, Tamera.” Nicolae spoke in.

 

“How long did it take you to get here?” Falcon asked from over the port side.

 

They all looked up when he spoke. “About an hour and a half, why?” Nicolae first answered then asked.

 

“The sun will be up in four hours, just wondering how long we have them, that’s all.” Falcon answered.

 

“Falcon…” Tamera said, which made Falcon smiled nervously before running out of sight. “Excuse me but I have a man to hurt.” Tamera said with a smile, before turning around and get aboard.

 

Skyler just shook his head. “Only my family.”

 

Nicolae hugged Skyler from behind, nuzzling his nose into Skyler’s neck, with both of them smiling.

 

Tempest looked at Jacques again to see him truly happy for  his brother. “Um well  hate to cut this short but Tempest does have a lot of training to do.” Julian said with a smile.

 

Nicolae moved his head to look at Julian when he talked. “Oh right, I completely forgot. Falcon has something for Tempest.” Nicolae said letting go of Skyler and running up to the ship.

Skyler smiled but said nothing. “What would Falcon have for me? And why did he say call him Uncle?” Tempest asked Skyler.

 

Skyler seemed about to answer that, when they heard Nicolae yell.

 

Skyler turned around and caught Nicolae as he was falling towards the ground. “Holy Shit! Nicolae! What the hell!?” Skyler asked as he sat him down.

 

Nicolae blinked a couple of times before he answered. “I went into Falcon’s cabin and he just threw me. I didn’t even have time to react.”

 

Tamera came running over to them. “Oh my god! Nicolae are you okay? Falcon’s really sorry. Skyler, Falcon’s loosing control of his instincts.”

 

“Maybe we should leave… it also might be best to keep Falcon locked in his quarters.” Skyler said.

 

“I’m sorry Tempest but it looks like it has to wait until we meet again.” Nicolae said, getting hugged be Skyler while Skyler checked him over to make sure he was okay.

 

“It’s okay.” Tempest responded.

 

Falcon looked over at them from the ship. “Nicolae… I’m… sorry… I saw it happening but I couldn’t stop myself.” Falcon said in a sad and guilty tone.

 

Nicolae looked up at him and smiled. “Don’t worry, we’ll go back to get your meds.”

 

Falcon smiled sadly. “Still I’d feel better about all of this if I was cuffed to something… Where I can’t hurt anyone… I want to be put in the brink. 

 

“If that will make you feel better Falcon.” Skyler responded.

 

“Until then no-one is allowed to sneak up on me, understood.” Falcon yelled to his crew.

 

“Ai captain!” A crew of men replied.

 

“Well I guess we’ll go now. Don’t want to keep you waiting any longer than you have to.” Jacques said, Nicolae nodded.

 

That’s when Falcon jumped down from the ship, landing and walking up to Tempest without even stopping. Tempest couldn’t help but have her eyes get big.

 

Falcon smiled. “Don’t worry, I have something you might want.” He pulled out a small box from his back pocket.

 

Falcon handed the box to her, who took it. Tempest looked at the box as Falcon said… “Your mother knew I’d see you. She wanted you to have it.”

 

Tempest looked up quickly at Falcon. “You knew my mother?”

 

“You look like her… though her hair was a lighter purple. She was a good friend, family really. She was the one who made the medicine I take. Skyler’s father just has the ingredients she wrote down. Tempest, your mother was a wonderful doctor.” Falcon said with a smile.

 

Tempest smiled at Falcon and looked back down at the box…
