Her Guardian angel of death (closed)

[Asa]

She looked over to Sal.

So the name finally registered Salvatore... Good. How better to hide then to become who I was in foster care. Out of respect to them.and to protect Cali I took on a different name. Felix keeps me off police radar and Cali does too.

Another few taps and a door latch popped loose nearby and without any other word she turned and followed the sound.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Salvatore's hand flexed on his pistol as he stared at her, "Finally Registered?!?!" he shook his head and rubbed his face, "Ive known,.......... i KNOW you, youve lived with me for over a year, Zia? Isabella? Loren? No, this isnt you, no one is that good of an actor, Animal's turning into humans? Vampires? No, Just NO, what else have you been hiding from me? HUH? I loved you god damn it" out of the corner of his eye he saw the other girl move and he raised his gun, pointing it at Riley "dont even think about it" his voice cold, fury lightning his eyes, even as he heard the snitch of a latch and saw the ratboy move to open the door "Spill it, all of it, i want to know what else there is, "

 

[Asa]

Felix gulped.

Big eagle lived in the hills nearby. To humans he is an 80 yr old man. Now we kind of have to stop her. And trust me buddy if Loren let you in enough to be her real Zia self then... She definitely loves you. And Loren don't love anybody. So that's saying something but we really should keep an eye on her and no weapons in her line of sight she may view that as the enemy and you and I ain't fast enough for either one of them.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

A muscle in Salvatore’s eye began to twitch, an early sign he was developing a migraine of epic proportions. He looked to Felix as the rat spoke quick, and Salvatore’s jaw worked as he took in what was said. Weighing his options, which at this point were about Nil. But still he kept the gun trained on Riley, we really should keep an eye on her and no weapons in her line of sight she may view that as the enemy and you and I ain't fast enough for either one of them. Salvatore took his eyes off Riley, frowning as he looked to Felix, about to ask a question when Riley spoke “but I am fast enough” by the time Salvatore’s head snapped back to look at her she’d moved, grabbing the gun from salvatore and twisting his arm up and away at a painful angle her other hand snapped out and she slammed her fist into his nose, forcing him to drop the gun and reel back, covering his face with a vicious curse, all the while Riley expertly unloaded the gun then the mag and tossed the empty hunk of metal back at Salvatore smirking “Oh, and you really shouldn’t look away from someone your holding a gun at” she smiled sweetly, Riley glacing to felix “Last thing we need is the old man coming down here yet again, he’s ornery enough as it is, yes we will keep an eye on her, and I let Cali know too now come on” having taken note that Zia was no longer anywhere near them then hurried to catch up, sounds of raised voices and languages echoing down the long hall, Salvatore snarling as he touched his now broken nose.

 

[Asa]

Cali had headed straight and only to Shana. She had been inside her mind. She had seen them she would understand the gravity of the matter.

Of all the deep cover persona Isabella could have found and activated... Loren Zane. We have a serious problem. Talia has a mental prepping routine to go into a deep cover persona that takes days. Isabella dropped her into the most deadly of them all in seconds.

It was clear that the normally calmfeline was worried about her friend.

--------------

Loren was a few rooms ahead of them sealing her target by the throat to the wall. His normally suit wet and even his largest of bodyguards dead or nearly dead on the floor nearby.

You will end this war or I end everyone.

Felix blinked realizing Loren was wielding a couple of bullet wounds not that she seemed to give a damn or was capable of registering them... yet.

Loren... need any help?

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Shana always woke early, and she had been sipping tea in her study when the butler and the feline walked into her office, a lip curled at the intrusion she had risen to her feet, about to rebuke the bitch for daring to enter without approval but Cali’s words had drawn her up short, We have a serious problem. Talia has a mental prepping routine to go into a deep cover persona that takes days. Isabella dropped her into the most deadly of them all in seconds. Shana blinked, frowning, then grimacing “Fill me in, what has transpired this day child” he made a motion with her hand towards an empty seat “Tell me what it is you need, and if this the “cover” I think it is you are referring too“

************


Salvatore had his gun up as they rushed down the hall trying to catch up, busting into the room to see the litter of bodies around the conference table, Riley catching the trails of blood from several wounds that Salvatore too spotted, his eyes widening as he swallowed hard, the man against the wall trying to claw at the hand that had him pinned to the wall, his eyes blazing fire as he struggled to talk, to curse, “uhhhhh, Zia??!?!” Salvatore asked quietly “youre bleeding hun, step back, I can deal with him, lets check your wounds?” his voice was hesitant, questioning, trying to seem relaxed as they edged into the room slowly, not surrounding her, they knew better, but trying to get a better angle on the situation Fuck………….you the man she was holding choked out, kicking out trying to dislodge her

 

[Asa]

Cali sighed.

Isabella dropped Talia into Loren. Even on my best of days with her Loren is difficult to control and according to Felix Riley and Salvatore are the only two there with her besides him and Loren scares the hell out of him. It takes her days to mentally prepared to be this psycho bitch and Felt x said one minute she was Zia the next she was Loren. I don't know what it will do to her mind but it can't be doing the recently reawakened Isabella any good.

_______

As if it were as natural as breathing she merely pulled the knife from her boot and used it to seal his neck to the wall.

Fine love... Just make sure he bleeds out completely... Riley... It se ms.you all claim I am injured... You may assist me with them then find out where the Vitollo's are for me... They die next.

Deep in her mind Isabella was a mix of shock and horror at the person her carrier had become when she had only tried to study her mind to learn more about this current world. Who or what was this murderous being any why was it living within this body? And why did she not listen to her?

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Shana listened, her gaze unblinking, the subtle twitch of her eyes the only sign she was even listening as she furious ran through things in her head. I don't know what it will do to her mind but it can't be doing the recently reawakened Isabella any good. “No…..” Shana said softly her hands clasping in front of her as she continued to study Cali, her liquid silver gaze intent, “You are also Police……..although you hide it well……” was all she said as she turned and walked to a far wall, an old map of the city decorated the wall, and Shana studied it, holding up her hand to it, as if she would touch it but didn’t. “She is ever curious about the world around her, even as a child, always asking questions, getting into things” she spoke, still her gaze intent on the map, eyes giving off a light glow “She is at the Russians Safe house on the northeastern end of town, “ Turning the glow faded from her eyes as she looked to her watch “It is nearly Dusk” she sighed “I’ll risk it……….. Val will not awaken till after full dark, so in another hour, but we cannot wait that long” Picking up a cloak she wrapped it around herself, pulling the hood up around her head, making her appear as nothing more than an old peddler women “come child, “ she turned and headed towards the car “you drive, “ sliding into the passenger seat


********************

Again Salvatore just stared, open mouthed, eyes slightly widening at the gruesome sight of the man with the knife in his neck “jesus…..fuck…..Zia..what the hell?” he sputtered, shaking his head and rubbing his hand over his face before he followed, Riley taking a picture “Cool, you do good work” the Raven commented, and Sal stopped and looked at her, blinking, Riley just grinned and winked before Turning to Zia/Loren “Vitollo’s have a Yacht 5 miles off shore outside of city and county Limits, they high tailed it the fuck out of here when the shooting started, guess they didn’t want to fight, only a handful are around town.” Riley tucked her phone away “come on, im hungry, lets get something to eat, you really should relax and take a look at those wounds” her tone was gentle, casual, as if the sights around her where nothing more then a walk in the park and not the scattered, bloody remains of once powerful and deadly men. As they headed back to the car a figure leaned against their car, Riley cursing softly as Sal again drew his gun, hesitant, Piercing Dark eyes shinned in the low light as the figure stepped forward the southern twang in the voice booming “Just what in the Hell is wrong with you, ive warned yall what would happen if I had to come back down my mountain” the gruff voice said, the old man stepping into the flickering overhead light, his grizzled features set in a firm, pissed off line as he crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes going to Zia

 

[Asa]

Cali nodded to Shana.

Let's go...

Getting a text from Felix she leaned her head against the steering wheel

The eagle has landed again in town and Felix is sure he and Loren are going to go toe to toe. Once this is over I am retiring to the fucking Amazon to get some peace. Let's go.

Cali hit the siren and took off.

-----------------

Loren looked at him unfazed.

I am cleaning up the mess the cops and mob caused so either help or get your ass back up on your mountain and let me do what I do.

She looked to Riley

Let's go... we can bandage the wounds on the way.

She growled a little pain slowly making its presence known.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

I am cleaning up the mess the cops and mob caused so either help or get your ass back up on your mountain and let me do what I do. The old man dropped his hands to his hips and peaked an imperious eyebrow at Zia, his gaze briefly stopping on riley who minutely shook her eye, then briefly glanced at Zia before looking back at him. “ahhhh no I don’t think so girl, im stopping this here, enough blood has been shed. Go home, “ his voice was calm, but there was a spark in his eyes, a deadly calm as he stared down Zia “your temper tantrum is over, or am I going to have to put you over my knee”

 

[Asa]

Oh no more bloodshed here... We are headed to open waters. Looks like the Italians headed for water. There should be enough fear in the others to go hide and the cops can lock their wounds as well.

Loren held no fear of him or anyone really. Isabella was deep in her eyes screaming at the Eagle. Knowing no one can hear her as she had absolutely no control over Loren...

Who is this and how do I stop her? She isn't listening to me! I didn't mean to make this happen.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

The Eagle crossed his arms over his chest, his eyes hard, cold as he stared her down, the toothpick in his mouth bobbing as he chewed on it, he didn’t miss the conflict in her eyes, or the fear, “whelp,” he pulled the toothpick from his mouth and flicked it away “again, Im not letting you leave, the Italians are being dealt with, “ his eyes shifted to Riley briefly then Salvatore, his hands falling to his hips as he hooked his thumbs in his belt loops “And my word is final where this city is concerned, Human, or supernatural, Now why don’t we see if we can get your head on straight hmm?” his eyes flashed as the street lights came on, and he cracked his neck.


***********


Val came awake with a gasp as he sat up, his eyes darting around before his memories returned and he rose from the bed, intent on getting dressed as he checked his phone, seeing the frantic messages from Riley and Cali and he cursed with a snarl, 15 hours, in just 15 fucking hours shit had gone to hell in a bad way, as he pulled his shirt on and began buttoning it a soft knock came at the door, he turned and blinked in surprise as Taryn poked her head in, a smile on her face “hey handsome” she said, her hand curling into her hair as she moved it off her neck, “what are you doing here? why aren’t you at the bar?” he asked quietly as he wrapped his arms around her and held her close we closed because of the chaos around town, come, you need to feed its been a few days Val’s lips peeled back as his fangs elongated, sinking them into her neck he heard her sigh in pleasure as he fed. After a few minutes he pulled back, his eyes closed for a brief moment before he licked his lips and inhaled “hmmmmm what have you been doing? You taste different” he practically purred as the fire raced through his veins, but as the smile on her face turned smug it suddenly felt like he’d taken a sledgehammer to the chest and her jerked, his eyes widening as he looked to her “what……………….”

He stumbled back as his vision grew foggy, the bedroom door opening again and Gwen stepped in, a sweet wicked smile on her face I told you before, you belong to me, and im taking you she giggled as 3 men and a old women joined them, Val Collapsed to his knees, although he didn’t need to breath he gasped for the air as the pain racked him his vision dimming “nooo” he felt his eyes silvering as he tried to call his powers, but a powerful seizure wracked him before everything went dark. Gwen smiled and clapped her hands like a child as the men picked up Val’s body, and she turned to face Taryn, Wonderful, she turned as they left the room, the bodies of the guards and the butler stepped over like trash as they loaded Val into the waiting car and took off

 

[Asa]

Edward... in the chaos they had all forgotten about him. Attached to Val but Val was attached to the city which he learned from roaming long forgotten ghosts. Now he has found where he is needed. Still the child in appearance the power from him more the true unearthly age. First he would speak to Riley hoping she could hear anything.

Val or Shana will be needed. Go get them please I will protect my sister from his misguided rage.

Stepping past her the boy looked to the eagle.

Old friend... I know my sister has done something weird to her modern from but... maybe this person is needed. Sissy is very wise. We just need to direct this person where we need her not where she thinks she needs to go. The Zia lady is just trying to clean up the city... and now this Loren lady is doing it before police lady Cali can.

He would not let the eagle hurt his sister in any form.

-----------------

Loren cracked her neck

Bring it

------

Cali tensed a snarl played her features...

Our mutual feline associate... does he work in your home or in the field hunting as it were? We felines are all loosely connected and he...just vanished... that usually means... death

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

The eagle sighed, Hearing watching as the women stepped forward, ready to fight, Riley idly rubbed her ear, wincing as if in pain but continued to stare at her phone urging Cali to “FUCKING HURRY BIG EAGLE HAS LANDED AND IS FIGHTING LOREN” cracking his knuckles he had taken a step forward when he caught of flicker of something in the air, blinking he stared off to the right and down beside Loren, his head canting to oneside as he opened himself to the earth, his eyes shifting to those of his Eagle form he saw the ghostly form of a little boy, caught by surprise his brows lifted “and who are you little one?” he stated, the whisper on the air carrying the boys voice to him Old friend... I know my sister has done something weird to her modern form, but... maybe this person is needed. Sissy is very wise. We just need to direct this person where we need her, not where she thinks she needs to go. The Zia lady is just trying to clean up the city... and now this Loren lady is doing it before police lady Cali can. The old man just blinked at the little boy, brows furrowing as he returned his gaze to Loren, his shoulders and the tenseness in his muscles relaxing “you cant see him can you?” the Eagle asked, Riley and Salvatore frowning as if the old man had suddenly gone senile. “The little boy, your dead brother?” he asked Loren,

***************

Shana had a hand braced on the dash as the car screamed around corners, not that she was worried, but preferred staying anchored to her seat. Her eyes unblinking, glazed, her mind deep in thought, roused only as Cali finally spoke to her, Our mutual feline associate... does he work in your home or in the field hunting as it were? We felines are all loosely connected and he...just vanished... that usually means... death Shana blinked as her vision refocused and she glanced to the cat, “He was hunting last I had heard, keeping tabs on someone for me, but yes, I too haven’t heard from him for a while, having thought of it a jingling of bells filled the car, and shana pulled out her phone, frowning as she answered it, her frown turning to rage as she put her phone on speaker “………attacked……..some old bitch” coughing “A young girl, and someone claiming to be a Taryn” more coughing that sounded a little too liquid to be a good thing “only 6 left alive, im wounded, They took the other Vampire, the male, they torched the house” the line went dead as the coughing had turned to wheezing, gasping, then silence, “Oh……………..no…….she…fucking……didn’t…….” Shana voice as as cold as an arctic blizzard her eyes glowing silver as she crushed her phone in rage

 

[Asa]

Loren raised a brow.

I don't have a brother?

The little boy shrugged.

She can't see me and Zia lady can only hear buzzing when I talk. That mean Gwen lady had some old witch do something to her long ago. So dial it back Mr Cranky feathers and let's guide this Loren lady where we need her. So she can kick that meany Gwens butt.

Loren twitched slightly as she can hear the buzzing as well as a growl rumbled deep

------------
Cali hissed

SERIOUSLY?!?!?

The Eagle is taking on Loren and Gwen has attacked your house... seriously are they all fucking mental.

Which way... Loren or Val?

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

The Eagle studied Loren, his head cocked to one side, his eyes shifting back and forth between the ghostly boy and the women, I don't have a brother? and the subsequent shrug of the ghost had his lip twitch just barely, She can't see me and Zia lady can only hear buzzing when I talk. That mean Gwen lady had some old witch do something to her long ago. the Eagle’s lips pursed at that bit of information and his gaze went to Riley who blinked and just tried to appear innocent, with a huff the eagle approached Loren, non threateningly as he held out his hand to her “take my hand please” he asked her, holding out his hand to the little boy, but to the others just holding out his hand to air,







****************


The Eagle is taking on Loren and Gwen has attacked your house... seriously are they all fucking mental. Shana sighed but chuckled at the feline exploded “it would seem she has finally made her move, and Sundancer has never been one to mince words, and always been an eagle of action, as a Guardian inaction has never been in his vocabulary, He may seem hard and abrasive, but I assure you, he is a gentle man who literally only does what is right for those around him, wether they like it or not” Her thoughts again churned Which way... Loren or Val? Shana was silent for a long while, her eyes glowing silver as she stared into the unknown, “Isabella will be ok, “ she said, the glow in her eyes fading as she looked to Cali “Turn us around, that bitch is going to get her ass kicked when I find her”

 

[Asa]

Gwen it is!

Cali whipped the car back around and headed back to the house.

Loren raised a brow.

And I should trust you why? You want to fight then think I will trust taking your hand?

Unconsciously she briefly looked to Riley as if for any confirmation. Edward looked between her and the eagle

You sure this is a good idea?

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

And I should trust you why? You want to fight then think I will trust taking your hand? The old eagle smiled, his face softening “child, you are good, for a human, and I admire your bravado, but no, I no longer seek to hurt you or to fight, come” he wiggled his hand to Loren and watched as she so hesitantly took it, and Edward took his other hand, closing his eyes he smiled You sure this is a good idea? he laughed “I was once a well-known and renowned shaman of my tribe, a spirit walker, “ he stated, a slight hum tingling through his hands and body as he began a very gentle chant, his eyes opening, the iris’s turning pure white “I will guide you child, to reconnect you to the one you lost so long ago” he looked to Edward, feeling Loren wanting to let go as she began to feel the tingle in his hands he held her tight, Edward’s eyes widening “I gift you the Sight, to the one known as Isabella, lost in the ether’s of time, a reconnection to the brother whose life was taken too soon” shifting he pulled the Boy closer, joining their hands Edward gasped as a bolt of energy infused him the same time it zinged through Loren’s body, his ghostly form becoming solid to Isabella/Loren’s gaze, and he released them, “it is done”

His Iris’s returning to their normal color he pulled his hands away, leaving the little boys and her own joined, turning he looked to Riley, her jaw on the ground OK old man, just what other tricks have you been hiding from us all these decades? she sputtered, He just merely smiled,

 

[Asa]

Loren recoiled she was not good around kids. Her career wasn't exactly kid friendly.

Who... how... what sort of trick is this?

Shaking her head she looked back at the kid.

Why do you look like you know me kid... and why... should I... know you?

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Who... how... what sort of trick is this?

The eagle chuckled at her sudden discomfort, Why do you look like you know me kid... and why... should I... know you?. He smiled as Edward pouted but at least he understood what was going on with Loren at the minute "Calm yourself child, and breath, there is a voice in your head, screaming for your attention, calm and listen for it, and remember who you are". The old mans voice was calm, gentle, a fathers voice, "I will leave you two to discuss things, I believe the little one will be better able to make you understand then I can". Turning he looked to Riley who took a step back from him after witnessing his little display "The winds tell me something has happened," he had a far off look in his eyes as he seemed to look right through her. "I will stay with her and the male, return to your Vampire". Riley flushed and looked to Loren for approval

 

[Asa]

Loren looking between the eagle and Edward simply nodded to Riley. She had no problem with the concept of stomping the old man if she had to and the kid was clearly in the wrong century but at least the buzzing stopped.

What the hell are you talking about old man?

Edward looked to her.

My sissy is inside your head... She keeps screaming St you but I don't think you can hear her. She says she doesn't know how she caused you to show up whatever she means by that. She was just trying to find a way to help all of the chaos and anger and then you showed up.

Felix was looking around feeling blissfully ignored and kept a running video of all of this.

Cali reached out to Riley in a voice to text message as she drove.

If you have some way of k owing exactly where Val is I have an idea... Get Loren there... But wait for Shana and I to catch up. I have a plan. Between Loren and Shana Gwen won't know what hit her... Probably literally.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Riley looked at her phone as it beeped a few times, If you have some way of knowing exactly where Val is, Get Loren there... But wait for Shana and I to catch up. I have a plan. Between Loren and Shana Gwen won't know what hit her... Probably literally.. Gwen? What did......she retread the text again, find Val? Then her face fell, something happened to Val and Gwen was involved, her panicked gaze went to the Eagle then to Loren, then to Salvatore, then back to the Eagle. "Somethings happened, I think Gwen kidnapped Val, or did something to him, Cali just text me asking me to find him. Do you have any clues?" The Eagle just shook his head but he scowled "If Gwen has done something, I will be coming too, it's high time I set that little girl straight, as I should have done 140 years ago. His gaze turned to Loren, "you still have that new rifle of yours? Want to get in some good target practice?" He asked, Salvatore frowning at all of them but deciding to just stay quiet for the minute as he tried to make heads or tails of this.

Riley held her phone, as the Eagle moved to her can you find him child he asked quietly, Riley nodded her head, then shook it "I...I..its been a while, I can...feel him, our connection, but it's weak, we usually shield from each other and I just didn't notice he was gone until now". Her eyes twitching as she thought furiously " we need to return to Shana's house, Cali and the old vampress are headed back there, we need to find out what happened, now, "

 

[Asa]

Yeah ... Got one in the trunk of the car at...

She tilted her head and looked to the kid.

It's at Shana house... Her kitty cat soldier can't fully hesr me but he knows what I know sorta so he took Loren lady's car there

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

"Fuck Val, let the bitch have him if she wants him so bad" Salvatore muttered "one less thing for us to deal with, ". The Eagle looked at him, a brow arched as did Riley, "He is, or was, one of the few. That were holding this city's supernatural element in check, not just your pathetic little drug smuggling ring or your laughable therapy group you called a "mob" there are other groups that would be more then happy to move into this city unprotected and I assure you they are FAR worse then Val ever was to you" she snarled, her eyes flashing to her Raven's then back, Salvatore said nothing, but he glared at Riley then back to Zia "if you're suppose to be some other personality how can you know about that gun she bought?" Salvatore shook his head, scrubbing his face with his hands "know what, never mind, I'm done, this is too hard to keep track of, and getting to weird for me, " he sighed "I'll stay here, you go do what you have to do, I'll clean up and try and get things straightened out, go" he said, resigned

 

[Asa]

How do you think she was able to get a rifle like that. Being with you put Zia in contact with people who suspected Loren was either suffering amnesia or was pulling a job. Funny none of them warned you... Then again that could by why the Italians took off.

Felix shrugged.

I will stay here with Salvatore and help him. Get her to Cali and Shana
