BXBX NOVEL Chapter 266 - Hybrid
It took John two weeks to create a huger squad, the maids involved in the battle about 10 other creatures both werewolves and vampires. In those two weeks, John kept training Abigail who was making amazing progress day by day, growing in strength and controlling her powers and her instincts almost perfectly. Her body also was slowly getting used to human blood and her craving were drastically reducing.
So John asked Abigail to join his squad and she accepted, Abigail had always been a kind soul who always wanted to help other people.
Although when John mentioned Sharon she seemed quite hesitant and full of resentment, after she thought about it for about one hear she stated with confidence and undoubtful, "I will do it."
In that short period of time, Roselyn had always stayed at home, when she rarely got outside the house she always had John or a maid by her side. She also started to talk to the maids and contrary to what she expected she found them very nice and gentle, maybe their little argument they had weeks ago somehow solved issues between them.
Ethan meantime kept working with the snakes earning their trust after he had told them what John had discovered.
John\'s plan was ready and they were practicing all together as John made sure to explain to them what the snake\'s weakness may be.
Roselyn sat on a stone staring at the squad training together, she sighed, deep down she was relieved if the battle day was finally coming then it meant they will finally be in peace and can enjoy their calm waiting for the son. At the same time, she was concerned John would lose the battle, which would lead to so many brutal consequences she didn\'t even want to think about.
John trained all of them as a practical tutors, scolding them when they did some mistakes and complimenting them when he noticed improvements. Roselyn was moved and glad, she could already imagine him training their son, she was sure John would be an amazing father, maybe even the best father she could ask for her son.
After practicing all morning John as usual invited all the supernatural creatures to get in the house, to have lunch all together, but before he ended the training he gestured with a nod to one of the maids who had the task to teleport Roselyn at home with her so that she wouldn\'t get closer to any creature who could potentially perceive she may be pregnant.
"I don\'t understand why she is always leaving," Abigail complained scoffing, pointing at the maid who had held Roselyn\'s hand and had teleported her away.
"Because there are many creatures and banshees are not usually accepted by all creatures," John replied in a whisper, Abigail groaned, traveling her gaze to the allies. "If they try to harm her we can both defend her. I won\'t mind killing them." Abigail shrugged stating confidently, making John chuckle at her observation.
That was a common withdraw of turning into vampires, killing wasn\'t so disturbing as it was when being human.
"I know, but we need all them now," John replied.
He walked toward the fridge opened it and headed the dishes full of food to the maids who helped to bring food to the table.
In few minutes the table was filled with food, all the creatures threw themselves on food as they had been starving for hours. They didn\'t even waste time talking as they finished dishes in few minutes.
When in about one hour all John\'s squad had their stomach full they left thanking John, just then the maid accompanied Roselyn at home.
John as soon as he saw Roselyn appearing changed his facial expression in a happy one, even if it had been only an hour she was gone for John it seemed years.
"You all are getting stronger," Roselyn exclaimed, John nodded as he removed from the fridge one plate he kept for her, a plate full of cooked lentils, chickpeas, and pumpkin to the side.
He headed it to Rose, she smiled at him to thank him while another maid gathered some remaining food together and then put it on a plate to head it to the other maid.
"Yes, we indeed are. If we keep improving like this we may stand more chances than we thought." John commented smiling to see Roselyn eating and enjoying each bite.
"That was the favorite meal of my mother during pregnancy." He then commented making Roselyn pause her greed eating to smile and clear her mouth with the napkin.
"Oh..." Roselyn said, blushing with embarrassment, "It is very good. I was starving even if I had been laying down for days." Roselyn commented in a desperate attempt to justify her imminent hunger.
John giggled, "it\'s alright. It\'s number, every supernatural creature\'s needs and senses double when they get pregnant." He replied as he filled her glass with water, "but you also need to stay hydrated." He stated, Roselyn perceived a glimpse of scolding tone in his voice and she smiled to his considerate attention.
She slowed down her eating, chewing more and enjoying the taste of it. "Your mother was a human?" She asked with curiosity.
"She was a hybrid, which meant she was half human half vampire. She didn\'t have long sharp fangs nor claws or red eyes but she did have overdeveloped senses." John replied making Roselyn wonder how many creatures existed and how many inhabitants of the village could be hybrid as well but she had never recognized them.
Roselyn knitted her eyebrows slightly down, "there are only hybrid vampires?" She asked, but John maybe predicting her question was already shaking his head no before she even finished asking her question.
"There are hybrid of any type of creature, they have the appearance of a human but they assume the partly or fully the powers of other creatures," John explained himself, Roselyn hearing that froze, her fork dropped down the floor as she realized something she had never considered before.
She had always been wondering however Sharon and she were banshee if her mother was human, maybe that was the explanation. One of her parents may be a hybrid and had passed his power on them.
Roselyn swallowed down as her mind filled with concerns and questions, "John..." She whispered in a breath as John looked at her confused.
"So… maybe one of my relatives may be a hybrid and that would explain the reason why I and Sharon are banshee?" She asked, John, hearing her curved his lips slightly up.
