cannot let your concern for my wellbeing compromise my missions.”
    “I’ll try. You are still my daughter first, and then the leader of the Five. I know you have to do things that you can’t always tell me about. I also know how much that weighs on you these days.”
    “You’re talking about Damien again, aren’t you? All of us will have to make decisions that may be difficult for others to understand. Now if you will excuse me, I’m going to join Kate at Allwain’s.”
    The air was fresh and clear. Pine scented air fill my nostrils. I was so glad that Father was back.
    “Any good news to tell me?” I asked as I came through Allwain’s door.
    Allwain turned, a frown furrowed into his brow.
    “I’ll take that as a no.”
    “We have no way of knowing if the treatment will work on the hybrids or not, but it should work on any new vampires that they make.”
    “It’s the fact that these new beings are demon created,” Tao said.

    “Then, Cathos is right, I do need to go and see him. He can help me figure this out in the shortest amount of time. Give me some of the treatment and I’ll go right away.

 
    CHAPTER TWO
     
    C at hos, I’m going to take you up on your invitation, bring me to your location.” Before I could take another breath, I was standing in Althar. I turned to see the Demon King; arms crossed, looking every bit as magnificent as I remembered him to be.
    “Katrina, good to see you again,” he said as he walked towards me.
    “As always, I need your help, and your opinion.”
    “Relax, Katrina. Of course I will do whatever I can to help. First let’s have something to eat.”
    He offered his arm and we walked the short distance into a private dining room.
    “Where are we anyway?”
    “Cin, my old palace.”
    He pulled out a chair for me, and I sat. Once he was seated, food, wine and crimson appeared. He leaned back and smiled at me and unexpectedly I felt heat spread across my cheeks.
    “You intrigue me like no other, Katrina. I wondered how you would react to the power that I gave you. For some, it would give them a feeling of superiority. But you seem to accept it as simply just another tool to further your cause.”
    “I have no aspirations other than to protect those that I was called upon to protect. I consider the power that you gave me as a gift on loan from you, nothing more.”
    He acknowledged me with a slight bow of his head and a smile.
    “What is it like to be once again, the King of Althar, Cathos?”
    “My consciousness was frozen in time. Although Santera thought that she was tormenting me, I don’t have much recollection of that time. Thanks to Cain things are back the way they were before she betrayed me. You see, I feel things happen as they are supposed to happen and because of all this, I am sitting here with you today.”
    “New friends and allies are the best things that have come out of all of this, I agree.”
    I found myself able to let down my guard and I relaxed then. It had been a long time since I had been able to do that. We ate and drank and Cathos told me about everything that Cain had been through, and exactly how he rid the world of Belial.
    “You may stay here as long as you wish you know. My ability to manipulate time would allow me to  send you back to a point just after you came to me. I can make time stand still for us and I will, you have only to ask.”
    The thought of being able to escape my reality without anyone being the wiser, was suddenly very appealing to me.
    “I can see by the look on your face that you are entertaining the idea. That pleases me very much.”
    “The problem with your plan Cathos, would be that you would be so distracting that I may never want to go back.”
    “Is that such a bad thing, Katrina?” He said slowly, meeting my gaze.
    I smiled and then rose and walked seductively around the table until I stood directly behind the handsome demon King. I put my hands on his shoulders and bent down so that my lips
