"I had a feeling," Rowena said with a sigh after hearing the four teenage Brood girls' conversation from the bush she was hiding behind with Adam and Celeste.
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Fucking Renne and her gang, I should have known. I knew it was strange that they stopped bullying me after I somehow survived the attack since they were my biggest bullies back then, although they started up again after Rowena left Darah Five.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): So it was this bunch that attacked you all those years ago, damn bitches, I want to kill them all.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): It seems one of them was sensible enough not to get involved.]
[OfficialLorelie (Felinia 7): She might not have actively been involved like those three, but she still covered the whole thing up.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): True.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): So what will you do now that you know?]
[Thewhitesoverign (Felinia 7): Now we kill them for what they did.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): …]
[Beczontop (Imperial Down): …]
[Tessisdabest (Imperial Down): Tephe?]
[OfficialLorelie (Felinia 7): …]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): …]
[Thewhitesoverign (Felinia 7): Sorry, I don't know what came over me there, forget I said that.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Ok… but she's not wrong. Killing them is an option for what they did to you… or are about to do…. Fuck this time travel is screwy.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): It's something I need to talk to Rowena about. I'm all for killing them for what they did to me; however, doing that will cause problems in the Nosferatu family.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Nosferatu family? Fuck the Nosferatu family, they didn't believe you when you told them what happened.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): I know, but it's more complicated than you realise because of who that bitch Renne's father is.]
"Ohhhh, that stupid little girl, she has no idea the enemy she just created for the Nosferatu family," Celeste remarked as she looked at Adam, whose tail had at some point reappeared and was flicking dangerously around as if to indicate that its owner wanted nothing more than to attack right now.
"Calm down, Adam," Rowena said nervously as she also noticed the tail that was moving dangerously before she continued, "You promised you wouldn't act, remember?"
"I remember," Adam said as his helmeted head turned to Rowena before saying, "But you're going to tell me who exactly those girls are."
Rowena nodded almost instinctively. She didn't know why, but right now her instincts that she had built over two thousand years were screaming at her not to upset this person, as he could very well kill her if he decided to.
"They are all members of my Nosferatu family, though only one of their parents is from my family, while the other is from another influential house in Brood society. They took the Nosferatu name, however, as it is more prestigious than…." Rowena began, but Adam, in a voice that was all too calm, interrupted her as he said.
"I don't care about your family's prestige right now. Tell me about those four."
[OfficialLorelie (Felinia 7): …]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): …]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Do you hear the tone of his voice? It's way too calm for this kind of situation.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Oh, he's pissed, alright.]
[LadyErkath (Deverinian Prime): Damn straight. If it wasn't for messing with the timeline, I think he would have already killed those four by now. Though that would cause him major problems in the future, considering who that Renne brat is.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): His level of self-control is impressive for someone so young.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): I want to see bloodshed.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): I think it's a safe bet to say that you will get your bloodshed soon enough; the question just depends on who he kills.]
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): He can't kill anyone in the past, though.]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): That just means someone's in for a world of pain and bloodshed when they return to the present.]
"The one that just left is Amalia, her grandfather on her mother's side is a member of the Brood council, while her father is my great-nephew," Rowena began to quickly explain as her instincts flared even more that her life might be in danger if she didn't answer Adam's questions.
Honestly, Rowena was feeling shocked at how her body was reacting right now; no one had caused her instincts to flare up like this for centuries and even then, it was only those who were older and more powerful than she was. This was the first time in living memory that someone younger than her made her feel threatened and it was from someone who wasn't even fifty years old.
"Merle and Tierney are twin sisters; their father is actually the progenitor's personal assistant, while their mother is a cousin of mine.
Then there is Renne, the one with the knife. She is the daughter of Asema Nosferatu, the head of the Nosferatu house, while her mother is Kavita's youngest daughter."
[HackerSu (Trillion): Seriously? That brat is the daughter of the first Supreme Speaker and the one responsible for the creation of the Universal Senate, Lady Kavita?]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Yes. 😮💨 That's what I meant when I said killing her would cause problems in the Nosferatu family. Not only is her father the head of the family and a member of the Brood council, but her mother is Kavita's daughter, making her a direct descendant of her.]
[Whostolemyduck (Earth): Wait, aren't you and Diva Rowena descendants of Kavita also?]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Yes, but not in such a direct manner. We are related to one of the offspring of Kavita's older children; however, Rowena is like 5 generations younger, making me seven.]
[Phoenixempress (Fenix Nest): Meaning that the brat Renne has more of Kavitas' blood in her than even Diva Rowena.]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Correct and to a Brood, blood and your blood-line is a symbol of status and Kavita's blood-line is second only to the progenitors because of what she has accomplished for both the Brood race and the universe.]
"Kavita?" Adam asked in surprise as his tail calmed down, which also caused Rowena's instincts to calm down.
"Yes and as her direct granddaughter, Renne's blood is purer than even mine, meaning that if we were the same age, she would hold a higher position than I in the family. Honestly, if she continues to make a name for herself as she has been doing, she may one day achieve that feat."
"A name for herself? That brat?" Celeste asked in surprise
"What do you mean when you say that she has been making a name for herself?" Adam asked.
"I heard that she has taken up modelling and acting and is actually quite successful," Rowena replied.
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Wait. Are they talking about the model and actress Renne? She's fine as fuck.]
[Superior4horns (Vinox 3): How did you only just figure that out, idiot?]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Shut it bitch. I figured it was just someone with the same name since it's a common one.]
[Prestigious3horns (Vinox 2): I'm also surprised it's the same person as we just saw in the stream, I mean, Renne seems so nice and approachable.]
[HackerSu (Trillion): Bah, all celebrities are like that in front of the camera; it's when they're not in front of the camera that their true personality reveals itself.]
[MercheadAnderson (Palaxia): So Renne is actually an attempted murderer?]
[Lizziethetruepower (Palaxia): Should I ask why you seem so disappointed about that?]
"Modelling? Like you?" Adam asked before adding, "First, she attacked Stacey because she was jealous of how close she was to you and now she's become a model like you, that can't be a coincidence."
"I thought it was a bit strange that she decided to become a model when I first heard about it. Perhaps she did it to try and get close to me again. Though I haven't spoken to or seen her in eighteen years."
"So what do you think Kavita's response would be if she learned that this guy killed his granddaughter?" Celeste asked while thumbing towards Adam.
"I can't say since I've never actually met her, she's been in eternal slumber since before I was born," Rowena replied before thinking for a moment and saying, "If she did try to get retaliation in the future it's more likely that it would be because her daughter asked her to rather than because of Renne, after all it's difficult to love someone you have never spoken or interacted with."
[Noobkiller9000 (Earth): WTF, that's like over 2000 years.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): That's nothing surprising. We long-lived races often enter our own version of eternal slumber for long periods of time. It may seem like a long time to the finite races, but to us long-lived, it is just a drop in the bucket.]
[AlamoMatador4thewin (Earth): I wonder who would win in a fight between the streamer and Kavita.]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): The streamer obviously.]
[Handsome3horns (Vinox 2): Totally Kavita.]
[DeverinianLordMalacoss (Deverinian 9): That's an interesting question and one that's difficult to answer. The streamer is indeed strong and has tech that is more advanced than what we have seen before; however, Kavita was powerful enough to bring some semblance of law and order to the once lawless universe when she created the Universal Senate. Admittedly, she did have help from her lovers and other companions, but it was still she who led them to create it.]
[NonpareilRaphilia (Aaru): Kavita had to defeat many powerful enemies in order to create the Universal Senate. I'm not sure who would win out of the two. Kavita is powerful as an individual, but she knows nothing about today's tech, while the streamer has advanced tech, but we know nothing about his individual power.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): I can confirm he's powerful in the bedroom at least. 😜]
[Gunlovergirl (Earth): Can you, though? You haven't fucked with him.]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Not yet, I haven't, but I saw how he was powerful enough to satisfy both Lorelie and Stacey.]
[OfficialLorelie (Felinia 7): 🫣]
[OrangeeyedStace (Felinia 7): Can you not talk about sex for even 5 minutes?]
[OfficialAphrodite (Felinia 7): Nope.😜]
