Dark Souls

The Father

"Such a pretty kitty,"- Sabrina Spellman, The Chilling Adventures of Sabrina 

The portal Carlisle opened appeared at exactly seven o clock. Cole didn't want to walk through the black void to his father's dimension, but he had no choice. If his father felt ignored, Carlisle would just simply pull them through any of their reflections. 

Cole and Amaya walked to the large mirror in his home and were immediately in the dark. Walking to the adjacent mirror he could see his father's domain just behind the glass. Sighing he looked to his mate who nodded to him holding his hand. 

Cole placed his palm on the glass and groaned when it cut deep and his blood immediately began to flow. 

In seconds the couple was sucked through the glass and both fell as they shifted through dimensions. 

When they landed right side up in a large castle bedroom, both kept glancing around in confusion. 

Amaya opened the curtains to the bedroom and gasped seeing the outside. 

The sky spoke of midday, the sun low in the sky casting a beautiful picturesque look on the land. There was a beautiful crystal jade ocean, dragons flew high in the sky along with pegasus. There were slopping hills where they can see children laughing, and doing spells. 

It all seemed so serene. 

"It's so beautiful here." Amaya gushed eyes still on the children. They all seemed to be different but okay with being different. Amaya watched a little boy growl before shifting into a little wolf cub. It was adorable as a little girl tried to pick him up squealing, "Puppy!" 

Amaya giggled and Cole watched in rapt fascination as Amaya seemed to glow up. He instantly wished that they were watching their children play and grow. He knew Amaya wanted them, deep down, and was waiting for the all-clear. But now, he wanted them with a fiery need for the both of them. 

A need to see her this happy always.  

"Master Hunter, Mistress Black..." Turning both met the dark eyes of a butler. He was grey in the face and stood in an all-black suit, hands behind his back as he observed them carefully. "Your father awaits you in his study." He directed to Cole.

They both remembered then why they were here and quickly righted themselves. The butler led them quietly through the large ostentatious palace. It's Greek Palace like structure dripped gold and while beautiful didn't scream warm and friendly. 

More like curl up and die. 

When they got to large black doors, the butler told them to wait. After a moment a deep voice called out, "Come in son, Amaya." 

The butler bowed and walked away as Cole and Amaya walked in. Carlisle stood at the window, watching the same children play they had been when they arrived. Both Cole and Amaya exchanged looks when suddenly the man turned around and greeted them. 

"Son." Cole looked at his father. 

He was the same as he remembered. Pristine black suit, same green eyes, brown hair, and no sign of joy or life on his face. "Father." 

Carlisle poured all three a glass of brandy and observed his son and daughter in law, "You two seem on edge." Amaya c****d an eyebrow, "It's not every day we get summoned to another dimension to see someone." 

Carlisle chuckled, "I like you, you got fire little lady." As he passed her, the offered drink their hands touched and Amaya's presence  jumped forward in his mind, "Hurt him and I'll show you fire." 

The utter balls of Amaya threatening him on behalf of his son made Carlisle smile. He sat at his desk and urged the two to sit. When they did, he looked to his son, "How have you been?" Cole c****d an eyebrow, "With all due respect father, you didn't have me and my mate jump through a portal to check on me." 

Carlisle chuckled, "Well I thought to start with pleasantries, but I guess business first." He looked at Amaya and then told them bluntly, "I want you both to rule here." 

Silence issued as Amaya's jaw dropped and Cole's eyes bulged out of his sockets. Carlisle waited, and waited and then, "What the f**k?" Cole asked harshly. He was confused and sick of this s**t now. 

Standing Carlisle walked to his son and looked down at him, "Over the years, the kingdom has prospered but the royal family has been viewed as weak." Amaya c****d an eyebrow, "And?" Carlisle smiled, "Weak because the women we'd chosen as our mates were unable to carry our babies to term. They all died trying." 

Cole glared at his father, "Until you raped my mother that is." Carlisle winced and then shot up, "I did not rape her!" He showed them then, placing his hands on their heads they saw his side of the story. 

How he jumped through a portal twenty-something years ago. Met Brienne, courted her and had consensual s*x with her. "She gave herself to me, true I may have not told her what I truly was but I didn't think she'd tell my son such an disgusting lie!" 

Cole looked at his father's black hands and Carlisle looked at his son crestfallen, "I wanted us to have more time, more of an opportunity to get to know each other." Suddenly they stood on a hill, all three of them overlooking the beautiful village of thousands of different creatures. Living in harmony, all seeming so happy and bright. 

Demons. 

Witches. 

Dragons. 

Pixies. 

Endless lands stretched out to reveal different lands of the people before them. All happy and content but in need of a ruler, or chaos and mayhem would destroy it all.

"This is your legacy, Cole." Carlisle told his son as he held up a gown crown, "I have no wife, just me in a large castle with people scared to say boo to the "demon king". You and your mate...you two would make it home. You'll be happy here and make the people happy with your union." 

Cole slowly took the crown as he shook his head, "I don't know the first thing about ruling shit." Carlisle smiled a little in hope, "I'll still be here...if you want." Cole met his father's eyes and then turned to his mate who was watching the village with a small smile. 

Carlisle could see his son's hesitation and smiled in understanding, "Take your time, Valor has been around centuries. It'll still be in a couple of weeks."

Time shifted as Amaya and Cole were now back in the room between dimensions. Both turned to Carlisle still in the mirror who told Cole bye with a small smile.

"See you soon son." 

He then snapped like he suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, I have presents for the two of you." Suddenly a large black wolf appeared besides a sexy black sabretooth tiger. 

Both jumped through the portal, a puppy running to Cole and a little kitten running to Amaya. Carlisle grinned as his future daughter in law cooed at her familiar. "Familiars of your own. So that you two will be protected in that realm. Whether you chose the thrown or not, you will always have my blood son." 

Cole looked up from the black puppy chewing on his shirt sleeve and regarded his father, "I've always lived with that." 

Carlisle nodded and watched them go into their own dimension hoping like hell they come back.l

When they got to large black doors, the butler told them to wait. After a moment a deep voice called out, "Come in son, Amaya." 

The butler bowed and walked away as Cole and Amaya walked in. Carlisle stood at the window, watching the same children play they had been when they arrived. Both Cole and Amaya exchanged looks when suddenly the man turned around and greeted them.

Carlisle chuckled, "I like you, you got fire little lady." As he passed her, the offered drink their hands touched and Amaya's presence  jumped forward in his mind, "Hurt him and I'll show you fire."
