And We shall Smyte the Wicked (closed)

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

Everything inside her tingled with awareness, her eyes narrowed as her cold blood red lips curved into a cruel, twisted smile.

"Yesss.. Come to me." She sat in the darkness, her fingers steepled before her face, tapping with the ticks of the near by clock.

She had dressed for the occasion, carefully and uproaringly hillarious.. Virtueous white. How much of a mockery was that?

"Leave me." She ordered her little imps, scampering all to hide from her, flee to their shelters and hope she did not anger and cave the wood around them until they lay dead.

Ren entered and stood at the door, looking, waiting.. tensed.

"Ren?" Her voice easily schooled to sound smiliar to Kara. Her appearence, that of his lady love.. How could he resist?

She jumped from the chair and stood, halting a moment, staring as if pleased, scared to see him.

"You came.." She whispered, her mind blocked, her thoughts well hidden, everything that would alert him was erased.

"Oh. How I missed you." She sighed, reaching out to him, waiting, her eyes imploring him to come to her. He seemed stiff, unfeeling, aloof. She hung her head in mock shame, Her eyes welling with tears.. An actress at her finest. And yet he did not break?

"Did you not miss me my love?" She moved closer, her eyes trying to lock on his.. If he gave but an inch.. She would suck it up! Steal his life force! Make him her slave......

Yes! Just a little more... her mind and body shattered in pleasure, wishing to hold him, coax him, caress him.. OWN him.

"Just ask, I will do anything to make it up to you... Anything." She lied so smoothly, yet it brought her a mere few feet from him as well. She could inhale his scent now, feel that old lasting tingle rise over her flesh.. Oh god yes! he was so damned close she could taste him!

Kara

With a deep gasp of air, she began to claw and climb her way out of the grave yard, digging past dirt and rock.

The time has come! Her body awoke with a jolt, Ren was close! Lily as well... Her blood boiled, her hunger spurned on, she knew she'd feed well tonight.

"FUCK!" She could not get out fast enough, it hampered her, hindered her and held her down this vile dirt! Grunting she burned inside, her mind, body and something even more dark swirled around her until she misted and rose above ground as if it were an every day occurance.

With sensitive eyes she glanced around, thankful for the darkness and broken street lights. Her ears were plugged with dirt and quickly dug free so that she might hear. She spat at the ground, spitting out rock, dirt and little bugs which had taken residence in her mouth while sleeping.

She moved to the small pond and waded inside. Her body was stiff, but it was not sore. Refreshed, healed from the birth, she felt her strength tremble through each limb, nerve ending. She rinsed herself off, shed her clothes and took flight.

"LILY!" She bellowed out with her rage as she suddenly sensed what Lily was up to and why. Not that she should care, Ren betrayed her! She felt her blood boil in outrage even more consuming that which she felt before.

How dare he? How dare he go to Lily after abdandoning her?! She coiled that anger and kept it inside herself. She stopped only twice to feed before her feet hit the grass of Lily's home..

"come out come out where ever you are..." She knew there were others lurking, waiting for her to arrive. She growled, smelling them, hearing their heart beats, hearing nothing in their minds but a simple word, "Kill!" She shrunk down to the ground, hunching for attack as they began to swarm around her.

Ren

The face....the voice...even the eyes....it all screamed to me that it was the ONE I had pledged my love to, pledged to never forget in all of eternity...and yet?

I reached out to her, a warm caress to brush her mind and felt nothing as she moved towards me. Cold, complete absence, no emotion, no warmth, nothing to show she cared at all or even existed.

Still? The birth of the child would give her greater powers, was the ability to blank her mind so completely one of these when she never possessed it before?

Indecision help me as her eyes seemed to beg me to welcome her back and she glided towards me...

"Did you name our son Elijah as we planned my love?" I asked and blanked my own thoughts, preparing myself for whatever was to come.

"Yes, my Love" She assured me and smiled a warm, loving smile. "He has eyes like his father."

Looking about as if to take in the surroundings I stepped sideways, keeping the distance between us to the last few feet, and watching ?Kara's? face as I remarked.

"A unique place to present your newborn son to his father for the first time...."My Love"....But for the life of me I do not ever remember discussing the name of our unborn child, our thoughts were directed towards making sure the child was born and not destroyed by that bitch Lily"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Lily

Her eyes narrowed a little but softened instantly.

"It has been too long my love, I merely wish to please you. We shall name your son, our son, whatever you desire.. Please, do not be so mean to me." She pouted a little, her power slipping and spreading to protect her home and keep the real Kara out. but in doing do she was revealing more and more to Ren she could not afford.

With a big sob, she stepped towards him, her hands held out to him pleadingly, "PLEASE Ren! I have given all to you! Do not shut me out.. I beg of you." She whimpered, her acting had gone from good to struggling. Kara was no weak woman to beg, she was firey and sassy and would fight back! But did she know this? No. She had no inkling to the woman she portrayed tonight.

Outside Kara stood, smiling and warm from the feast of dead/undead slaves. Hefting a body she threw it with all her might right through the huge parlor windows. Leaping, she landed just inside, crouched and snarled with hatred at the two standing so closely.

"You.." She gruffly spat out the name, blood dripping from her lips. She stood and stretched, naked as the day she was born, a tigress about to feed on two very powerful, but weak beings..

"You wanted me my fair ..... BITCH!" Lady she was not, lily was far beneath even the title of whore! She snarled again, her power now unfolding as Lily began to shed her facade and face her adversary.

"Stay there My love, I shall handle this." She threw her hand out at Ren and threw him back against the wall, imprisoning him there by unseen bonds. "Silence is golden.." She spoke softly to Ren warning him only once not to try anything.

Lily summoned her imps, those that remained to guard her back and then focused her attention on the huntress.

"You die this night!" She purred in pleasure.

"Yes, but you die with me Cunt!" Kara had no weapon save her strength, cunning and teeth, it would be enough.. All it took was one bite and the bitch would die.. Unlike Lily whom was old and controlled, Kara was young, new born and the hunger fueled her hungers and made her a desperate but deadly adversary.

 

[BLACK BART]

Ren

Two female vampires circling and insulting each other.

One young and powerful in the raw strength of that youth, gorged on the blood of her enemies as she planned for one final victory....

The other older than most recorded time, legends created on her conquests, her experience and powers existing not only in the body she controlled...but the mind she used to control others.

Myself, I hung helplessly where I was tossed out of the way. My eyes closed to the battle that was about to happen, my vision no longer needed to see what was happening inside the room and out as I fed on the energies that flashed from each being...and began to link them.

Kara's outrage grew...her fire increasing as she imagined in her mind how Lily's blood was about to taste and lunged...

Lily's mind stayed cooled, her own mental powers great but already stretched as she held me and tried to control the trolls outside the warehouse she had drawn me to.

And then several things happened.

Kara's lunge at Lily.

Lily turning the lunge in midair and seeming to "slap" Kara out of the way and to the floor.

Kara screaming and twisting as she landed on her hands and knees, then leaping back into the air above Lily...to drop on the back of Lily...

Lily's turn to scream as Kara pulled her head back and made her moves to tear out Lily's throat...

My own mind now connecting the anger and blood lust in both Lily and Kara, then turning it towards the ones Lily controlled outside, to feel them begin to tear at each others flesh...

Ramon and Raven coming from the far side of the warehouse and breaking through the widows that blocked them, leading the most powerful of my own brood towards the battle.

Lily using the moment Kara was distracted to tear her off her own back and pin her to the floor, her face turned towards me as she threatened.

"Stop them my LOVE...or I will tear out this ones throat and leave you to say goodbye to her burning corpse"

My own submission to her will as I stopped the oncoming vampires.

"What would you have me do to save her?"

Gloating Lily began to crush Kara's neck as she demanded.

"Open yourself to my mind so I can taste what I have so craved these long years without it"

And again my own submission as I did just that...Lily's mind and eyes opening in delight as I opened my own mind...then her face changing to surprise as she felt not pleasure and submission...but the blinding, numbing pain of the dead and dying slam into her mind, startling her to loosen her death grip on Kara's neck.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Kara

The distraction was all she needed, as soon as Lily let go of her throat, she slapped the woman's hands away and tore into her Neck. Lily screamed and clawed at Kara trying to pry her off, as Kara drank from the woman a great amount of her blood and power. Lily fought like crazy, tearing open slashes all over Kara, but as quickly as she tore, they healed up, some only allowing a single drop of blood to escape before they were once more sealed as if they never were.

Kara drank and drank, voices around her screaming to release Lily, but she paid them no heed. And when she couldn't drink no more, and Lily could barely open her eyes, She ripped the woman's throat open and shoved her hard enough off of Kara, that Lily struck the fireplace mantle and crushed it and the brick around her.

Jumping from the floor, Kara eyed Ren with vengence but knew she was out numbered.

"I will return for you." She spat out before she fled through the open window, past the rotting corpses and back under ground.

 

[BLACK BART]

Ren

"What next?"

Standing in the midst of the utter destruction I watched Lily's broken body as the final drops of blood fell to the floor beneath her.

"With the death of my greatest enemy and creator we gain another." Turning I faced Ramon, knowing he stood quietly and faithfully, waiting for an answer...an order....a directive on what to do.

Lily coughed and I turned again, to find her eyes on me and to see the softness in them full of compassion and understanding as they once had been when I met her, in her final moment. And then they closed, the last dark drop leaving the gaping wound in her throat, her body crumbling from the heat inside of it the white fire inside burning brightly for a fascinating second before that too died.

Lily was gone, her knowledge, her power, her abilities...gone with her, leaving behind memories and the fragments of what she once was in her stolen blood.

"Kara has fled and left us with but a promise and to face our own realities." I began, my face and eyes reflecting the anger I could no longer contain, or wouldn't.

"In return for her life she has promised me death, in return for our support and my love she has returned it with treason and hate."

Ramon and Raven now stood beside me, loyal and true to me since the day they were created, as they would be at the day they too moved on and I placed a hand on each of thier shoulders.

"We will stop wasting words and replace them with actions, seeing to it that when Kara returns her future is as bleak as the one she has promised us, and when she see's the results of our labor I will use her anger over our efforts to destroy her, as I should have the day I was created."

Moving into the new begun night we lifted into the air, half returning to the haven of the theatre, halfing forming an immense "V" as they fell in behind the trio that led them, the common purpose of destruction for Kara and her precious family binding our minds.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

A scant time later we descended, over a quiet and sedate ranch style home located in what was thought to be a safe distance from all forms of evil.

"Kill all you find but bring her Uncle to me." I commanded and as I stalked about trying to find any scent, any telltale signal that the child I knew had been born was near I listened to the screams of the human deaths, the occasional scuffle or discharge of a gun telling of the pathetic but grim struggle they had tried to give my own kind.

Minutes later the bloody yet alive face of Kara's Uncle looked up at me and I held his throat in my hand.

"You were right, there can be no peace between the human and immortal factions, you humans....are too much like the animals you claim to despise."

The bodies were all dragged thru the mud and thier own blood, then arranged in a grim message before we left, all sitting on the once again quiet hillside and facing the eastern sky.

"We will slaughter all of her kin" I promised the blood frenzied horde as we rose again. "And find the child to turn it against her as she turned against her own true mother"


When she returns we will have seen to it that her reality is a bleak and unsure one as well.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Kara

"My life was bleak the moment you betrayed me." her voice came from the shadows as she stepped from behind her uncle's house holding her two new born infants.

Power surged through her, Lily's powers had become her own.. Something she was not expecting to happen did.. Now she felt energy inside her building so great that she felt as if she might explode with it.

She fought back the urges inside to do wrong and pushed forth her urges to see her dream through... Their dream at one time.

"You hired me for a job and then turn your back on me once I was prepared to see it done!" She growled at him, Ramon and Raven both gasping as they turned to their leader with questioning eyes.

"My life became bleak and colourless when I discovered your supposed dream was merely a lie to trap me." She handed one baby to Raven and one to Ramon. "Guard them well." She asked and they could do no more than bow and give her consent. She felt the glowing arua around her tingle and pop like fireworks, she imposed her will upon them and succeeded in that venture.

"Unhand my uncle, it is I you wish to kill...." Her dark eyes held his, waiting. "Here I am Ren. You've already killed me by turning your back on me.. What more can you possibly do to hurt me now?" She cocked a brow, daring him to try and find something more painful than that.

 

[BLACK BART]

Ren

"you are drunk with power, Kara" I hissed back at her "it distorts your once rational thinking into paranoia. My dream was destroyed when you became the rogue and set your interests above those of the family that accepted you. Still when they knew Lily was to be faced they came to help you and it was you who turned your back on all of us with threats as you did."

Power...her every pore reeked with it...of the power she had gained from myself and the huge draughts of blood consumed...of the victims she had fed on before and after retreating into the healing womb of the earth...and finally from Lily herself...

"You should have paid closer attention to your families secrets, Kara...perhaps then you would have realized they were truly NOT your family, not even of blood descent...if you concentrate and smell the open wounds of the man at my feet that you have called "Uncle" all these many years you will know I speak the truth...and then perhaps listen to the reasoning behind my own actions."

A nod and the two that held her "Uncle" released him, letting him drop to his knees quivering with a mix of fear, anger and resentment for the treatment he had received.

"Perhaps you would like to know why your "family" was so intent on destroying the immortals all these centuries? Not the reason given to both of us in our training but the real driving reason that kept them so...dedicated all this time?"

The once great hunter made motions to rise, his words cursing the vampires and all thier descendants as he rose and I cuffed him to his knees again with my own scornful words.

"You have spoken your last word of us as inferior beings...hunter. Look around you and see if there is one of human blood...Look at the babes and see who has accepted them, to guard them with thier own lives...If we were truly the animals you claim to have hunted for the good all the world...they would be dead."

All the time Kara held her growing rage in check, her eyes burning bright, her body taut as a bow as she watched and spoke no words and I now turned back to her.

"The children will not be harmed regardless of the outcome of the next few minutes, Kara, Raven and Ramon will tend to thier well being regardless if you chose to side with me...or against."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Kara

She contained her burning desire to squash them all under her heel and walk off.

Her eyes widened and an audible gasp came from her lips as Ren told her of her supposed Family.

"No... How?" She eyed the man she called uncle all her life with shock and hurt. "They lied to me?" She shook with the hurting she felt inside.

"Stubborn man!" She eyed Ren hard and then advanced on him until she stood nose to nose with their leader.

"You left me behind! I did not turn my back on you to seek my own glory! I saught out the one threat and I removed that threat!" She glared at him a little longer and then turned to Raven and Ramon, "Take them back to the theater, they need to feed." And she would have to follow along shortly to feed her babes.

"We will discuss this later Ren." She gave him a bratty little look before turning back to her 'uncle'. "And as for you, I hope you rot in loneliness and despair for what you've done and the lies you've told."

"Kara.. KARA! PLEASE! He lies!" Her 'uncle' reached out with pleading hands to grab her but she deftly stepped out of his range.

She turned a deaf ear to the man she thought was family and took to the skies. Shape shifting into a night hawk, she soared high above the city until her feet touched the Theater roof. Pushing her hands through the air, the doors parted before her and once more she stood in her room. Dark, cold and empty, she glanced around the four walls to see nothing had changed since the last time she was here all those weeks ago.

Ren.. I am waiting.. She opened her mind, a little harder than it was before for her, but she caressed his briefly and waited. She knew he was coming before she ever sent to him, but she wanted him to know she waited peacefully, not as a threat.

 

[BLACK BART]

Ren

"Welcome Home"

I moved into her room and stood to watch her accept the dual burden of not one but two newborns, the look on her face telling of the true emotions she felt for them and despite everything else she had been forced to be in the past weeks she was still one more thing.

"Motherhood becomes you, Kara" I complimented and again watched as she dealt with the twin bundles that clawed instinctively at her blouse.

"You have become much more than the hired protection of this clan." I observed softly as she shifted one squirming bundle to her lap and the second to the crook of her arm.

"It was my choice to see you continue to live, Kara, albeit not in the immortal form you were forced to...but regardless your role has become greater, for as the children rapidly mature in the physical sense so shall their mental abilities."

The bundle in her lap squirmed and Kara lifted both legs at the knees in an attempt to gently roll it towards her, not away as the insissent child seem set on...

"But despite all the powers you have recently found and the ones the children will share with you as they grow..."

I moved and lifted the bundle as it rolled over her knees, cradling it in my own arms and opening the warm wrap to peek inside at the face, then looking to it's mother as she held the second.

"You can not do it all alone. I will help you. WE will help you. For with the arrival of the children our future has changed for the better, and with them and your blessings..."

A tiny hand had crept out and with lightning fast motion wrapped it's even tinier fingers around my own thumb and I smiled.

"We will return the world to it's natural state"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Kara

She glanced up at Ren, her heart in her eyes but her fate sealed. Rising from the edge of the bed, she placed the other twin into his arms, kissing each forehead before kissing Ren for the final time.

"Be good to them, Ren. Michael and Ariel need you.." She smiled a little then, sadness coming over her. She had little time to explain but she was going to remove the last threat to man kind.. Herself. Even now the power she took into herself was begging her to use it, let it grow and flourish, which meant sooner or later she'd be as Lily was..

"I love you... Find happiness." She caressed his cheek, seeing the realization sink into his eyes as they widened. Turning, she left as quickly as she had come. She kept going, tears streaming down her face until she met the dawn's early morning light.....
