looked in Matt’s eyes, “Stacy’s gonna be a busy girl.”
Chapter Thirteen
We went to the house to get the rooms ready. The library became the room for Aduviri to perform the linking ceremony. The two bedrooms upstairs that had bathrooms attached to them would be changing rooms. The other two would be used to disable the triggers. Luckily for Stacy we thought we’d come up with a way to do it without sex for some of them, although it involved more people and would probably take longer: We would try doing the quick blood transfer like we do during the changing ceremony with me and Bahiti to see if it would work that way. We ran into a roadblock almost right away though. Carlos adamantly refused to do the eternal linking ceremony with Stacy.
“ Uh-uh, no way,” he said. “I’m not linking to anybody.”
“ Carlos,” I said as I sat next to him on the beach, “It’s not like you have to be with her forever. It’s just so you can help her change and she can help disable your pain, then you can go your separate ways.”
“ Yeah, we’d go our separate ways but we’d always have this,” he said as he grabbed my hand and pressed hard on my scar.
“ OWWW,” Matt said from the porch one hundred feet behind us.
“ See?” Carlos said. “That will always be there and that creeps me out,” he said as he dropped my hand.
Someone to my left cleared their throat. I turned to see Rashidi, Bahiti’s quiet, unassuming servant. “Yes Rashidi?” I said.
“ I’m sorry to interrupt,” he said as he bowed, “but I was hoping to offer my services.”
“ Your services?” I said. “Services for what? Does Bahiti need something?”
“ No, ma’am,” he said. “I wanted to offer… errr… volunteer, to do the linking ceremony with Miss Stacy.”
I just stared, completely unable to speak. Finally Carlos said, “Have at ‘er kid. She’s all yours.”
“ Really?” he said, looking at me.
“ Ummm, well, if Bahiti and Stacy are okay with it, then sure why not,” I said as I stood up. “Let’s go ask them.”
I grabbed Rashidi’s arm and began to lead him into the house. We stopped at the confused look on Matt’s face. “Carlos is a wimp,” I said, smiling because I knew he could hear me. “So, Rashidi here has graciously offered to be eternally linked to Stacy. We’re going to check that Bahiti and Stacy are okay with that,” I smiled at Matt.
“ Oh he has, has he? Well, way to step up to the plate Rashidi,” he said as he patted him on the back and winked at me. We walked inside and found Bahiti and Stacy on the couch.
“ Umm, Rashidi has volunteered to go through the eternal linking ceremony with Stacy, we wanted to get your permission,” I said.
Bahiti didn’t hesitate. “I have no objections,” she said.
Stacy looked him up and down. “Cool,” she said as she walked over and put her arm around his shoulder. “Then, after I’m changed I can help you get rid of that trigger thingy in your head,” she grinned and I felt Rashidi’s knees give out next to me. I steadied him before he went down. “You okay?” I said. He looked at me with a grin on his face like he’d just won the lottery and nodded his head.
“ Great!” Stacy said. “Let’s go,” and she led him into the library as I shook my head and smiled.
Bahiti looked at me then, “Shall we proceed?” I nodded my head and gripped Matt’s hand as we followed her upstairs. I was going to try disabling her trigger by having Matt filter my blood through her using tubes and syringes. Hopefully this would work or Stacy really would be busy. We had moved a microwave and refrigerator into the room. The fridge was stocked full of blood. Andrew knew all the delivery routes and one of the trucks in Dallas had had an accident (or so the Elders thought) and lost its entire load of blood. In truth, it had been flown here where it was safely stored in the 15 refrigerators in the basement. Bahiti sat
