Deadly Shore. Final Hunt

Chapter sixteen: Growing pains.

Training was so much smoother than yesterday. At least today we get to head to the massage rooms to relax. Asher and I have been in need of a moment of piece and quiet for a while now. Juju had a face full of blood after a few sessions and I thought that Bruce was actually going to die for a minute there. Either way it was so much fun but the fatigue is quite annoying. We are getting closer to being ready for war and what frightens me most is what could happen to our daughters. I know that they will be safe and secure but the constant thoughts of 'What if? keep playing in my head like a broken record. Asher and I get into the steaming hot pool that has healing properties apparently. The lady at the desk mentioned that this spa was good for healing all sorts of body pain. Even broken bones which I have no problem with but it is interesting to be informed nonetheless. The bubbling feeling on my back is burning through my bones and it is slowly intensifying. As much as I want to kiss my absolutely charming husband, we have to discuss something important. (Carlyn): Have you thought about it? (Asher): That the water has healing properties? It feels quite relaxing and is massaging directly into my spine at this moment, my love. It is delightful He laughs a little but stops once he sees that I am being serious. (Carlyn): About whether or not our girls can be unkillable Ashers face becomes as serious as mine and he moves closer to me. (Asher): Even if they were to test that would be insane. We cannot risk their lives just to confirm or deny a theory He starts shaking but I hold his hand and take a deep breath. (Carlyn): I dont particularly like the idea either but maybe there is a safe way to be sure? (Asher): What do you mean? (Carlyn): We can use our blood to heal them- (Asher): I dont like where this is going (Carlyn): Nothing crazy, baby I promise. Just a spell to stop their hearts and if they start beating again then that will prove our theory (Asher): And if they dont? (Carlyn): I can use a necromancy spell to bring them back. Their souls would not have been gone too long to be lost and there are no intensified poisons being used to make it any more difficult (Asher): How could you be sure? You have never done this before! (Carlyn): I have! (Asher): Sure! On a pet lizard or something! (Carlyn): On my unborn child! The tears come running down my cheeks and Asher calms down. (Carlyn): Trying to bring Bella back was difficult from the start due to the circumstances of her passing. Even when we found a way to work through that her spirit was so far gone that I could only say goodbye. So believe me when I say that I will NOT let that happen again (Asher): I am so sorry love. I really am. I am sorry for yelling at you and for starting a fight I wrap my arms around him and close my eyes. I let out a deep sigh of relief and kiss him on the cheek. (Carlyn): Its alright. You want the girls to be out of harms way and so do I. Maybe we should put the idea to rest for now (Asher): I love you. We will figure out a way (Carlyn): I love you more My phone buzzes and its a message from Tamara. There is going to be a big dinner at a beach house for the entire training crew. We each get our own rooms and of course I share one with my husband because if it were any other way then I would be very confused. She notifies me that it will be for the weekend. They really do mean it when they say that there are rewards for hard work. (Carlyn): Baby I sent Tamara a text to get our bags packed and ready for the training team weekend at a beach house not too far from our home. She and Dax will take care of the girls until we get back. I think that they might be becoming great friends (Asher): Dax has been talking about a girl lately but never mentioned who. Its good for him to see that hes happy. Once we get home and get our bags then we can leave to the beach house okay baba? (Carlyn): Okay, my love After the heated pools, we head to the room where we get full body massages. The smell of lavender and sea salt somehow carries until the hallway. There is calming music and hot oils on the table. Once we are both on each table and getting our massages, I have some time to think. There is going to be a great chance to get these guys out of the way with our huge group. A huge group requires a strong choreography playout like a play. Each character has a role and the bigger the crew, the more precise the roles have to be played. It just takes a lot of discipline and patience. Maybe if I went in alone then I could get it all done without having to worry about any collateral damage. Knowing the fam and my husband, the hopes of going solo are further than dead. Before I can daydream any further, we are on our way home and getting ready to leave. We say goodbye the girls and get on the road. I do not think that I can ever get used to saying goodbye to them. They are my eternity just as much as Asher is. Sometimes he doubts himself and makes him think that he is worse than who he is. I would slaughter an entire continent before ever hating him the way he hates his self. After greeting everyone and getting settled in, we go to bed early to fully take on the next day. (Asher): Today was really great babe. Getting to spend time with you and have the most relaxing day ever (Carlyn): What about our honeymoon mister? (Asher): Alright fifth most relaxing day. Possibly the fiftieth but it is late and we need to rest (Carlyn): I love you baby (Asher): I love you even more. Goodnight

Sweet dreams indeed!
