tearing at his flesh; piece by rotting piece it falls to the ground. Cato punches completely through the leader’s chest and he collapses helplessly to the ground. Cato tosses the undead heart off to the side and shakes his hand free from the blood it is now covered in.
As the boys rip him apart, the sister witches remove the spell shield. We begin tossing pieces of the last two Cerberus remains to the shifters , and they proceed to toss the pieces in to the fire. Once all the pieces are burned to ash we put the large blazing fire out. We collect the ashes and place them in silver boxes Alexander and Nathanial made, and seal them. Gathering all the boxes, we bury them deep into the ground in various spots throughout the forest, taking no chances of a hiker finding the remains.
Now that the job at hand is complete we begin to celebrate; the shifters , the witches and the vampires , what an awkward combination of allies. I can’t help but wonder if our little group of supernaturals has come up with something here. Maybe those like us can choose to work together, an idea I may have to revisit at another time. We cheer and hug, then Elijah decides to say something. “I would like to thank each and every one of you for your assistance in handling the Cerberus. It could not have been successfully accomplished without your help. We will be forever indebted to you all.”
Everyone continues with the celebration. Ebony and I decide to sneak off to the other side of the clearing. “I think we should call Nate and Matt. I assume they are going insane,” I suggest.
“ You are probably right…not to mention that, as much as I have enjoyed Dakota’s company, I miss Matt so much my heart aches,” Ebony admits.
I push the speed dial on my phone to call Nathanial, and he answers on the first ring. “Sophia, is that you?” he asks in a panic.
“ Yes, it is me. Are you doing okay?”
“ You are asking if I am okay? How is everyone? Did anyone get hurt? Did you defeat the Cerberus? Where...”
“ Stop! You can calm down, I will explain everything. The Cerberus are now destroyed and we are all fine. Why don’t you and Matt meet us at my house? I guess you should bring Danika too,” I try to reassure him and make a little joke.
Nathanial will ask if he can spend the night, it’s teacher’s convention tomorrow, so no school. Matt will stay as well; we can tell them everything that way. I’m excited to see him, but want to converse a little more with our little army.
Because of the kills we could all receive a few new powers; normally we can sense our powers, but because most of us had never killed another of our kind we don’t know what it feels like to acquire new powers. Elijah, Isaac and Cato try to explain it to us. Cato and Elijah will be able to explain which power or powers we have attained. Because we did not get a chance to witness their powers, due to binding them, we don’t know what to expect, and they both have the ability to detect others power. Due to the shifters involvement in destroying the Cerberus, I doubt many of us will get new abilities. We injured the Cerberus and the shifters destroyed them. From my understanding we have to complete the destruction of another vampire to acquire their abilities or powers.
Cato and Elijah start explaining how when an immortal destroys another immortal their powers are gained by the one left standing. These aren’t always good powers and to ensure proper usage of the new power they must be learned and controlled properly. With all of us there together it becomes a jumble of powers; Cato and Elijah are only able to make out the powers, not who they belong to. We will have to figure that part out later, but for now we talk about the new powers they sense.
“ I want all of you to understand that some of the powers we are sensing are very powerful; they can be very dangerous because if others sense them they would destroy you for them,” Elijah warns.
