Her Guardian angel of death (closed)

[Asa]

She could give a rats ass less about what they thought about her. She did however shoot Salvatore a glance. Guns drugs other stuff was one thing but she was even though she hid it well consummate actress that she was she did not approve of human trafficking and Salvatore knew that and she had been assured he was not part of it.

Sipping her wine she smiled at the kind words and laughed a little as well also noting those that took issue with her but again nothing noticable. As always business business business... She didn't mind as she was absorbing so much information.

Glancing back towards the door they came in through as a loud sound was heard.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Salvatore caught the glare she sent his way as they were discussing the influx of new women, his eyes widened just slightly and he shook his head slightly, as if understanding that look. Sighing as things calmed down, moving on the next shipment of cocaine and heroin, Salvatore piping up about transportation and offloading of product, as arrangements were made for security, and a better unloading site possibly. Business seemed to be winding down after a few hours finally and more bullshitting and general chatter was taking place. Salvatore looked at Zia, she seemed happy enough about the way things had gone and he smiled at her. but the Crash had everyone going quiet. Guns drawn by everyone and pointed at the door, 2 people shouting about what was going on, and sending out their guards to find out what the problem was and who the fuck would disturb them

 

[Asa]

Her 40 Cal in hand as she barreled towards the door as well

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Salvatore growled at the loud banging and shouts, drawing his gun he followed then he heard the shouts “POLICE, EVERYONE DOWN, NOW” 2 cans of gas fired into the room he shouted in alarm. Thinking quick he kicked one gas bomb back down the hallway towards the police and grabbed Zia “Fuck this, Come on, “ he ran to the back of the room, feeling the wall he panted hard as he heard gun fire, the guards had opened fire on the police, with a rage filled cry Salvatore kicked a section of wall and it gave, the hidden door breaking open leading down a long hallway. He heard the others shouting but he didn’t care, he had to get Zia out of there. “Fuck them, we’re getting out of here” he called over his shoulder, feeling Zia snap her hand from his grip and follow him. They weaved down a series of hallways and turns, coming to a large metal door. Muttering to himself he unlocked the door and threw it open, only to be greeted by multiple rifle barrels and full gear swat, and Salvatore cursed “HOW THE FUCK” before he was grabbed and shoved to the ground, cursing loudly as he kicked and fought, but with 6 men piled on him he couldn’t fight much as he was cuffed and hauled to his feet, spitting into the face of one officer and head butting the other. “ZIA!!!” before the butt of a rifle hit him square in the face and he slumped unconscious.

The Swat officers turned their rifles on her “Hands up, your under arrest” From behind the officers Dante stepped from the tree’s and the call of a Raven from overhead drew her attention. “im sorry, Dante whispered before he shifted and flew off to join the other raven in the tree

 

[Asa]

She knew the deal they had to arrest her too for appearances. She nodded to one of Cali's hand picked officers and allowed them to arrest her.

Fine fine... You didn't have to hit him like that.

However seeing another of the Ravens she winced in pain from the headache that fought to assault her mind.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

You didn't have to hit him like that. the Officer grinned behind his tactical mask “yes I did, your sister said to say hello to him” the swat officer shrugged, tugging her gently as he led her to one of the waiting cars and shoved in and told to sit down and shut up, Salvatore’s body dragged to a separate vehicle and dumped to the floor among some of the others. Shouts, threats and curses lit the air as bodies of dead guards were rolled out by the Coroner and EMT’s, a few of the Family Heirs managed to escape but the majority had been caught. Many Speculating just how the hell they’d been found out when no one was supposed to have known about the property. As everything was sealed up and the vehicles rolled off Salvatore had begun to come around. His head throbbing from the rifle to the face, and felt like he’d had his nose broken. Blinking slowly, he rolled to his back as he was jarred around. Looking up he spotted the Russian and Chinese Family heads sitting there looking at him. Rolling to his back he tugged at his cuffs, gauging how much slack he had in his chain. “dumb ass cops” he muttered. Breathing hard he felt the sway and rock of the truck they were in, happy now that he exercised every day to remain limber and stretched he rolled back to his shoulders, looking up he asked for help, the Russian mob boss putting his feet on Salvatore’s and helped push his legs against his chest, allowing Salvatore to painfully but successfully slip the short handcuff chain under his heels, exhaling hard he stretched, now his hands free in front of him instead of behind.

“well, this isn’t good, but..” Reaching into his dress pants, his fingers finding the seam and slipping into a hidden pocket he pulled out a key he’d kept on him always, a handcuff key given to him by one of the beat cops he had on payroll and quickly unlocked his cuffs and undoing the cuffs of the others in the truck. A plan quickly made, Salvatore’s only thoughts were getting out, getting away and finding Zia, then running with her out of town. After a while the truck began to slow as Salvatore and the others suspected they were nearing one of the jails. Getting ready to jump the doors were eventually opened, much to the shock of the cops as they were jumped and quickly killed, their weapons taken, and the two van drivers killed, Salvatore and the other two quick to run,

In the jail across town Zia was led to one of the more secluded interrogation rooms and offered a chair” Cap will be with you in a bit” one of the officers said before leaving her alone.

 

[Asa]

The captain or Cali she suspected either would walk in and she was right on both counts. However before the captain could say anything Cali lit off.

If you ever... Decide to MARRY A TARGET let me know before they do... Is that clear?

She raised her hand.

Cali... I am way too close on busting this case... and this meeting was not in any report so how in the hell did you learn about it?

The captains attention also quickly turned to Cali curious as well as Zia was the only undercover in town working the mob families.

Cali growled realizing after the fact that she had failed to I form them of things she finally answered in a growl

Confidential informant

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

There came a knock on the door as the 3 talked, one of the beat cops poking his head in “uhhh, Chief……..we got a problem……Umm………it appears Salvatore, The Russian mob boss and the Chinese consulate have………escaped….the 2 officers driving, and 4 guards outside the prison waiting to take custody were killed and their weapons taken…. We sent out the dogs ……but we lost the scent………they’re………….gone…………” he swallowed as he stepped into the room and shut the door, “we don’t know how they did it, but camera footage shows as soon as the van stopped and the doors opened Salvatore jumped one of the officers and broke his neck then took his gun, the other two followed him and they killed the guards who came for backup…and took off.”

The Officer looked at the three women as cali’s eyes widened and she turned to look at Zia “you know what this means………..”The chief left leaving Cali and Zia alone as she took off to try and rally the other units to find them. Salvatore and the others arrived at his home after killing a cabbie and stealing his car, Rallying his guards they made their way to the docks, doing their best to stay to the backrounds and back parts of town where cops rarely went alone. Reaching the Chinese Flagged Tanker in dock that customs couldn’t board without china’s consent, that belonged to the consulate of China, they did their best to try and locate any who may have escaped and rallied them to the ship once heat eased off. Salvatore’s mind on Zia he paced the ships crew quarters, he had to get her back and they were leaving town as soon as he did….


Valarious:

As the sun set Val’s eyes opened, immediately he heard soft but hard whispers from the balcony, the door must have been shut as the voices were muffled and even with his hearing he couldn’t understand what was being said. Rising from his bed as the shutters over the windows lifted he walked to his kitchen, Dante and Riley clearly arguing, 2 others just standing back watching. Val opening the door silenced them and they looked to him, an eyebrow peaked he asked “so……..who wants to fill me in?” Clearly annoyed Dante shot Riley a look then turned back to Val “we took care of Salvatore and that bitch you were interested in” Riley slammed her boot into Dante’s instep causing him to double over “DO NOT SAY WE DANTE THIS WAS ALL YOU AND YOU KNOW IT” Riley fairly shrieked, only Dante never saw the Fist coming from Val that sent him up and over the patio table “call her a bitch again, and I will rip your tongue out, now what the fuck do you mean you took care of them?” his voice growing hard as Dante slowly stood, rubbing his jaw.

Dante hesitated then spoke, Telling Val about how he’d discovered the meeting, been watching Zia and Salvatore’s movements for the last 12 hours and what they’d been up to, getting nervous as Val’s face slowly closed down. his face as blank as a statue which Riley knew was not a good thing. Finally telling him how he’d done what Val had wanted BEFORE Val had found out about Zia being a cop, and turning in everything they had on Salvatore’s actions movements and connections and how they’d raided the meeting and arrested most of the major families in town. Val’s eyes darkened, Dante falling silent. Waiting for………what he didn’t know, but suddenly Val was just in front of him. His hand wrapped around his throat shocking Dante as his eyes widened, trying to plead but dante quickly found himself lifted and tossed over the balcony of the building and sent into a free fall. Dante barely managing to breath around his crushed neck he shifted before he hit concrete and took to the air not caring if people saw him or not and flew off. Val cursing at the top of his lungs and putting his fist through the Patio table, Riley just held up her hands in a push-a-way gesture I had nothing to do with this, ive been here guarding you she spoke, Val turning he glared daggers at the two quiet birds at the edge of the patio “rally the others and call the Pack, Salvatore wont be taken easy, I wouldn’t be surprised if he’s already managed to escape, I swear that fucker is part otter with how flexible he can be…, Riley, Call Cali”

 

[Asa]

I am walking out of here Cali and getting back to my assignment. You can try to stop me or you can step aside.

Cali held her hands up and stepped aside before hauling off and punching her.

For good measure make sure he still trusts you. Fix this and... I'm sorry.

She took off out of the precinct slipping out a back door and took off hailing a cab to take her to the docks. Arriving there she went to her own import office and called Salvatore's phone. Talking around a busted lip made her anger and fear more believable.

Salvatore...

I... Am safe

________

Cali stalked past a couple of the wolf officers grumbling.

Keep an eye on the skies...

They nodded knowing what she meant as they watched her get to her desk in time for the phone to ring.

WHAT!

Was the answer the person on the other end got as she barely contained the less than human roar that wanted to rip from her.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Salvatpre:

He was pacing, as they barked orders and tried to rally what they could from the rest of the street crews. Salvatore didn’t bother looking at his phone as it rang, picking it up he barked into it “This better be good news” but he stopped dead at the brief silence on the phone before he heard her voice, his eyes closing in relief Salvatore...I... Am safe He could hear the tremble in her voice, pissed off and hurt, with a slight lisp that had him frowning “baby? Where are you? Im at the East docks on the Chinese tanker, are you ok? How’d you get away?” he was pacing again but restless now, he wanted to go to her, He heard the Russian boss mutter something about Zia and Salvatore lashed out, slamming his fist into the males face knocking him out cold “stay put for a little bit, we are working on getting transport out of the city, we’re leaving before dawn baby, those of us who remain, then you and I will be taking a long much needed vacation” he was just relieved to hear she was alright. Right now it seemed like they were going to take the Tanker out of Port, making plans to sail to international waters then have Salvatore’s chopper pick them up

Riley:
Riley quickly filled Cali in on what the fuck had just happened when Val woke, and Dante admitting to Val he was the one who had went to Cali in the first place with all the info they’d had, not realizing that Val knew now she had been a cop and thrown Dante over the Highrise apartments balcony. The barely restrained roar that shook Riley’s phone as she yanked it from her ear was all the answer she needed how well that piece of news just went over “Cali, shit just went south, Val is pissed and calling for Blood, he’s asking the Pack for helping tracking Salvatore and Zia and I honestly don’t know what Val is going to do now, we know they were being watched by more then just us. If word gets back to this other problem we’ve got” Riley let that trail off, Val’s Sire being left unsaid, and the witch problem, Riley sighed, she had a feeling blood would be spilled tonight, but whose blood? She didn’t know

Valarious:


Val was raging still as he showered and changed, Having instructed Riley to go after Dante, Call Cali, Find Salvatore and Zia and bring them back, having asked for Pack help to track and locate Salvatore and Zia. There was no telling how Salvatore would react to this and he needed to keep Zia safe, Opening his safe he armed himself, Tonight he was hunting. He’d had enough, he was going to find Zia, and make her remember, he’d share his blood with her, let her see for herself the memories she’d forgotten, he looked at Riley, her somber, pale expression as she watched her. and he felt a small pang of guilt when her shoulders seemed to slump in resignation

 

[Asa]

I am at "work" it's okay...

Zia knew he would know she spoke of the candy import business she had been given by her foster parents when they passed.

I... I'm fine just a busted lip. Be safe love...

Once their call ended she was making her way around the warehouse when she heard a voice.

Little gypsy princess all by herself...
Gonna need protecting when the Ravens come to call
Little gypsy princess
They don't know... Your first prince will make you die
Your modern prince will make you cry

No memories... This time around...
If they push them you will drown
Little gypsy princess we can make this quick
Come with us she will only make you sick
Heavy eyes then sleep forever more.

A drunk old man sitting on the metal steps singing. But then there was another noise and a woman seemed to appear looking quite out of date and time. Zia drew her gun leveling it and carefully fluidly moving it from one to the other.

Who the hell are you people and how did you get in here?

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Gwen:

Who the hell are you people and how did you get in here? The vulture swayed, his unblinking gaze watching Zia, a sick leer on his face as the sound of high heels clacking the metal walkway, a figure dressed in a black flowing robe, with Raven hair decended from above, a girlish giggle, that sounded like the women was no more then a teenage lit the air. Walking casually down the stairs the girls hand reached out, almost petting the Drunk looking male sitting on the staircase Her flowing black dress fanning out behind her as if caught in an unseen wind, “my my my” her voice chimed, “you seem to have found a backbone this century Isabelle” she giggled the girls tattoos glittering in the shuttered light of the building. “Poor Valarious must be going crazy by now with worry for you” her voice lilting up slightly as If making her statement into a question. “oh, and you might as well put away the gun, you cant kill me human” she smugly stated “so, it is true, you have come back again, interesting” she cocked her head smiling cutely

Salvatote:

He was relieved to hear she’d managed to escape and was hiding. Nodding he kicked the Russian at his feet causing him to stir “get your ass up, I need you” Salvatore growled, moving to the map they had spread out over the table in the middle of the room. She was less then a mile from her, on the other side of the docks, which police were starting to patrol and sweep. The fact someone had hit her however had him plotting their deaths as well. Shit went pear shaped, and now he had to figure out a plan and quick. His hand idly weaving over his phone, almost tempted to call Val, if he was so interested in her, perhaps Salvatore could use that to his advantage, that fucker seemed to have connections up the ass when it came to finding things out….

 

[Asa]

Who are you and... Who is Isabella?

She winced. Not even knowing she had corrected the name the woman spoke but her mind that strange burning was back but she had been trained to ignore pain for long periods of time with her specialized training for undercover.

Her gun never waivering as she watched them carefully.

---------
Cali was helping search and patrol. In her mind she was worried it was a rescue mission and rescue Zia from Sal but seeing an eagle circling the docks of all places was not a comforting sign either.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Gwen:
Who are you and... Who is Isabella? Gwen giggled again, her eyes twinkling “ohh you poor girl, you cant remember can you?” her smile turned wide, flashing her fangs “ohhh must be soo painful for you to see him, and not be able to remember him isn’t it? I told you so long ago you little slut, He’s mine, and when you die this time, you wont be back and he will be mine forever” her voice turning flat and cold, all hints of the girly light tone and European accent she’d had moments before gone as she finished that sentence, her tongue running along her fangs, the drunk male on the stairs rising to stand he made his way to the girl, standing beside her but his unnatural eyes focused on Zia “all alone little gypsy bitch with no help and no one to stand at your side…..that little toy you call a gun useless against those of us who walk the night…” Gwen hissed as she’d advanced slowly on Zia, But she’d only taken two steps before an Eagle’s shriek could be heard echoing and the sound of crashing glass somewhere behind Zia.

Then there was a rustle of feathers and a flash of something gold before an eagle swung low, transforming into a pissed off looking man, landing hard and rolling he came up swinging, his fist connecting with the Drunk males face, and what looked like talons sprang from his fingers as he clutched the mans head driving him to the ground all in one fluid motion, the mans shrieks of pain as Gwen froze, her eyes wide in surprise, before a gurgled cough was heard then silence. The man rising slowly to his feet, eyes flashing like wild fire he turned to look at Gwen “Hello again you fucking cunt….” Spitting the words at her “So not nice to see you again” Gwen Hissed, baring her fangs at him her face contorting into a something utterly not human “Oh shut your mouth” the eagle snarled, his hand whipping out and clocking Gwen across the face sending her flying across the warehouse and through a brickwall, the sounds of a door being kicked in and shouts the man turned, Glaring daggers at Zia “WELL?!?!” he said impatiently.. “Get you Fucking ass in gear and MOVE……NOW!!” he barked, sounding much like an old drill sergeant screaming at a recruit in training” turning as Gwen freed herself from the rubble she hissed again, a trickle of blood from her temple Still alive I see? she hissed


Several man came running in, weapons drawn as they formed a wall between Zia and the old man and Gwen. “Zia I presume?” one said “We’re here to get you out of here, Cali sent us” they half lied, Really it had been Val who’d called the wolves, who’d called the old Eagle in when they realized what was going on. One of the others snapped his phone shut “Val’s on his way, lets go”

 

[Asa]

Her headache starting to pound more at her mind as she spoke.

Cali... Yeah... I have to get out of here... I have to find him...

With that she was running. She had to find Salvatore... She didn't have these headaches around him but whoever these people or whatever were and this Val caused severe headaches.

She kept to the shadows and back alleys trying to find Salvatore... Calling his phone she waited for his answer still looking for any place he might hide.

Gwen being so close had seemed to give the spell power as she was physically growing weaker.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Gwen:

Gwen screeched and launched herself at the Eagle Shifter in front of her, the last time they met she’d tried to force him into her service, and he’d readily handed her and her people their asses on a platter then he had literally bent her over and spanked her like some common child. And walked away, leaving her embarrassed and thoroughly pissed off that he’d had the gall to do such a thing to her. No one touched her like that and got away with it, Gwen and the Eagle trading blows, His power more than evident however as he stood against her unholy onslaught. Easily blocking some of her wilder punches and delivering staggering blows himself that drove her back. The eagle arched an imperious brow as he taunted “still haven’t learned how to fight huh you fucking bitch?” before he sent her reeling and flipping into the air with a solid uppercut that flexed the ample muscle in his arm, “Girl, you gunna learn your place eventually, pity your daddy didn’t spank you more” he groused, only infuriating Gwen further as she shrieked in outrage the wolves more than a little amused were more than willing to sit back and watch Gwen get her ass kicked.

The wolves starting to bet how long the old eagle would toy with her. Of course they received their answer when Gwen charged again, and the Eagle side stepped, tripping Gwen causing her to stagger only to swing around and deliver a solid kick to the girls ass then sent her face first into a wall “I’ve been waiting to do that for decades” the old Eagle smirked “Get the fuck out of my town bitch, or next time I will end you” Brushing his hands off the Eagle dusted his hands and looked to the wolves “What the fuck you lookin at pups?” he barked, and all the wolves jerked and looked anywhere but at him as he shifted and took flight, leaving Gwen moaning on the floor


Shana:

She’d had been keeping a quiet eye on things as they progressed, with Gwen in town and threatening most of the local preternatural groups and members with blackmail and violence, trying to Blackmail here as well, not that it worked, she’d been playing this game since before Gwen was alive. And she’d set the little bitch straight as well. Not that it did any good. Crouching on the roof of a warehouse she watched the eagle fight and rather enjoyed watching Gwen get tussled around. That girl needed a bit of an attitude adjustment, and while Gwen was now several hundred years old, her mentality and inability to truly grasp just what she was had kept her from developing a large chunk of her power, which most people were thankful for. Catching movement in her peripheral vision she spotted the back door to the building opening and the girl Val was interested in running. Cocking her head, she blinked, scenting the fear and over whelming panic and pain the girl was in Shana leapt down from her hiding spot and followed Zia. It wasn’t long however before Shana sensed that Zia was losing steam, her breath was hard and rasping and the pain was just flowing off her in waves.

“Easy child…….youre about to………..” she had been about to say Pass out when Zia collapsed, Shana caught her in a blink of an eye and shook her head, staring at the slowly drooping eyes of Zia she smiled “rest child, you’ll be alright” watching as Zia completely fainted in her arms, she could sense the heat coming from Zia’s head and knew the Gwen’s appearance had triggered the rest of the spell lock that the bitch had concocted to kill Zia. Sighing she gently set Zia down, kneeling so she could prop zia’s torso up against her knee Shana brought both of her hands to her chest, over her heart. Closing her own eyes she sighed, focusing she began a soft chant, having been a healer/witch in her own time she had managed to retain her connection to the earth and her healing powers, pulling her hands back she laid them on Zia’s hand, she couldn’t completely break the spell, but she could mend it and remove parts of it. The witch that cast it was indeed powerful, and it surprised Shana that Zia had fought it this long. But at least now it wouldn’t kill her, Picking Zia back up she looked to the girl, brushing her hair from her face “lets get you away from all this child” she said to no one in particular as she wove her way through town and took Zia to her Condo, laying her on her sofa and an ice pack for her head poor girl was gunna have a screamer of a headache when she woke


Valarious:

Val had combed the city, but when his Phone rang and Cali had told him where Zia was he’d gotten across town as quickly as possible. Catching the scent and looking up he’d spotted the Eagle in the sky flying away and put on a burst of speed, entering into the warehouse to find Gwen a moaning mess on the floor and the wolves walking out, they quickly informed him of what just happened and val decided to leave her to brood and throw a tantrum. He followed Zia’s scent out the back, and down along the back allys, then he caught Shana’s scent and he growled low, coming to the back of an ally were Shana’s scent and Zia’s mixed, and then vanished. Val Cursed long and loud as he tried to pick up the scent again but it just vanished in the ally. Val snarled, he’d forgotten she was adept at hiding her scent and powers for others. Val Reared back and roared as Riley found him punching a wall “Shana’s Got her god damn it, I cant find her……..”

 

[Asa]

Zia felt like her skull was literally on fire as she collapsed. Her mind burning then cool... Like random patches of cool shaded grass on a hot day. A voice but it barely made it's way into her mind. She had no idea if her words were heard as she kept trying to say she had to find Salvatore...

Slowly she awoke her head feeling like a punching bag.

S... Salvatore...

___________
Cali got to the warehouse to see the mess and looked to the wolves.

Alright... Where is she?

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Shana:

“ahh youre awake child” she said softly, moving to sit on the chair opposite the couch she’d laid Zia on, “Your male is not here” she said quietly “you were about to have your head explode, you fainted, in the ally, and I brought you here to heal you and let you recover away from everyone” she said watching zia with Irridescent silver eyes smiling softly, “would you like something to drink? Tea?” Shana said softly, leaning down to a steaming pot and two cups, pouring herself a small cup “You are quiet the talk of the town tonight Isabella” she said softly “you must have questions, please, ask, I will answer what I can perhaps we can break this irritating spell on you”

Valarious:

The wolves looked to Cali, then looked away swallowing “ummm well……..after the Eagle beat the shit outta midget girl there” they points to a still groaning Gwen just starting to come around and sit up “ummm well, the Eagle scared the shit outta Zia and she ran, and well, we kinda……lost…………her……….” they said, shuffling from foot to foot, not wanting to admit they had actually been more interested in the fight then the girl. Although it was only a few minutes after that, that Val walked in, snarling “WHAT THE FUCK HAPPENED” he screamed all the wolves pointed to the form on the floor and Val looked over, his eyes going blood red as he spotted Gwen “ohhh……..fuck……noooooo..” he growled Gwen finally looking up and spotting Val, in the blink of an eye Gwen was on her feet then just gone, her vampiric speed allowing her a quick escape, Val turned on Cali “I lost her trail, Shana has her, “

 

[Asa]

You... Are not the first person to apparently call me that... Why? My name... Is Zia...

She had to stay in cover not giving her real name of Talia.

I have seen so much strange shit after this Val guy showed up in Salvatore's and my life.

Shaking her head that still pounded but tolerable "normal" headache.

Yeah... Tea... Thank you who are you?

_______

Cali let out a long over due roar of exasperation.

One thing at a time... Somebody END THAT BITCH!!!! Before I have a new feather boa wolf skin rug or Fang necklace... GOT IT!?

Then we will look for Shana and Zia.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Shana:

You... Are not the first person to apparently call me that... Why? My name... Is Zia... Shana just smiled, like a patient mother would a child asking a dumb question, pouring a small glass of tea and handing the plate and drink as she shook her head she sipped her own tea briefly for a moment as Zia rambled on. Thank you who are you? Shana’s gleaming Ice colored eyes took in Zia, traveling slowly down her body, then back up, an eyebrow peaking “your breasts are perkier this time around” she commented, setting her tea down and leaning back, draping an arm over the back of her, her hair obscuring her face before she tucked it away sighing “I am Val’s creator, I’m not surprised you don’t remember me either, although we only met twice before you were killed” she quipped “So, long story short child, you were known as Isabella in your first lifetime, little gypsy girl, princess to the gypsy king, you and Val fell in love, then the little bitch you met today had you killed out of jealousy.” She stated matter of factly as she took her tea and sipped again her eyes twinkling in amusement “ “not long after that Val found his way to me, badly wounded, although he wouldn’t say what happened but I have a feeling the little cunt you met today did it to him and I took him into my arms, and saved his life.” She smiled baring her fangs some

Setting down her empty cup she filled it again, idly stirring the cup as she just sat and watched the girl before her for a while “anyway, this time around somehow Gwen had you cursed so you wouldn’t remember him, still trying to figure that one out however she wove it into the spell that the more you were around him, or things that would remind you of him, that you were experiencing increasing levels of pain until you mind literally exploded from it, I took care of that part and you won’t get headaches nearly as badly, you’re welcome” she said smugly “any other questions my child?” she said sweetly

Valarious:

Val paced in the warehouse, growling, his eyes glowing red as Cali lost it and roared, he snarled back at the sound the men in the warehouse panicked as Cali screeched Somebody END THAT BITCH!!!! Before I have a new feather boa wolf skin rug or Fang necklace... GOT IT!? They scattered and started cleaning up the mess from the eagle fight trying to look for clues, sniffing around as a few of them walked outside at Val’s direction to search the alley. Val sighing he moved to stand beside Cali crossing his arms “I don’t know what Shana would want with her, or if she’d hurt her or not. Ive never been able to understand her… or her motives..” he sighed, finally able to calm himself. We need to find her and we need to find Salvatore, “

 

[Asa]

Zia tilted her head taking it all in.

This case... At least now towards the end... It's been like some strange Hollywood horror movie. Birds turning into people or people with fangs or glowing tattoos and all this talk of reincarnations and...

She sipped the tea and shook her head.

I have seen alot of strange things in my life but never this much all at once... I mean... I had a kinda weird foster mom groing up for a time but I don't remember much about her except there was an old vulture that loved on the property that was too old to really take care of itself so she would toss out scraps to it.

Shaking her head again... Funny that's really all I remember... I can't even remember what she looked like or sounded like or how long I was there.

________

Cali sighed...

Tech... Get your ass out here...

With that a tiny little mouse turned into a tiny little man pulling a laptop from behind a crate of candy.

She called him... Sounded fucked up... He isn't that far away but I would let fangs go... You being a cop and all pussycat.

She snorted at him. A literal tech "rat" for the highest bidder or the cops depending.

 

[LoganDarkHolme]

Shana:

I have seen alot of strange things in my life but never this much all at once. Shana smiled again, the tips of her fangs peaking out, “well child, you can relax around me, I assure you no more weirdness from me for now” she spoke softly her eyes watching the young women with a quizzical air as if debating something. Appearing if she was about to say something but quiet as Zia spoke again I had a kinda weird foster mom groing up for a time but I don't remember much about her except there was an old vulture that loved on the property that was too old to really take care of itself so she would toss out scraps to it. that caused her to peak an eyebrow, “hmmm, that could be something…..” she tapped her finger on her chin thinking “well, no matter, how is your head child? Im still working on trying to break the full spell, but sadly its still there…dear Gwen isn’t powerful enough to have done this, she had help, and there are only a few in this country who are strong enough….” She picked up her tea and looked to the clock “I would like you to stay here for the day, “ she said as she rose and moved to the kitchen “Val doesn’t know where I am, so he doesn’t know where you are, your male, well, he’ll know where you are soon enough I sent a messenger to find him, just take today to actually rest and process everything that has happened today……more tea?”

Valarious:

He blinked as the mouse shifted and he looked to cali with an arched brow “Really? A mouse?” instead he held up his hands “never mind, don’t wanna know if he’s your pet, or your lunch…” Val smirked, a crashing sound from the far end of the warehouse caught their attention as Salvatore’s voice rang out “ZIA!!!” he called, Val’s glare turned deadly as he growled, stopping only when Cali put a hand on his chest, growling as Salvatore approached them he stopped dead and looked at Val “Oh Fuck this…now I have to deal with……………Wheres Zia Val, where did you take her this time?” Val Growled and took another step towards Salvatore “I haven’t touched her, and she was taken……….by someone else…..im trying to find her as well” Salvatore didn’t wait, he just launched himself at Val “Fuck you She’s mine you asshole, “ he slugged Val and had enough weight behind it to make him stagger back, then Val’s eyes flashed and he swung back and the fight was on, Cali unable to get between them as kicks and punches were exchanged. Val hissed and it stopped Salvatore for just an instant before Val laid out him out with a well placed uppercut, the last thing Salvatore thought was “where those fangs?”

Zia nodded.

Yeah... A break from it all... Just want to rest then home to Salvatore...

She finished her tea and nodded for more even though it all seemed to be making her sleepy.

_______

Cali grumbled.

Seriously... Have you learned nothing in all your years Val? So what sort of place would your sire be drawn to for ego matching housing?

Motioning for the others to collect up Sal and deposit him home for now with a tracker.

Shana:

Yeah... A break from it all... Just want to rest then home to Salvatore... Shana just smiled, “we will see what happens today child” she spoke gently, moving she refilled her glass, noticing the weariness in her gaze, the sleep aid she’d added to the girls tea finally seemingly taking effect “rest my child……” she crooned, her voice seeming to have taken on a lullabye quality, musical, soothing, as she moved beside the couch, resting her hand gently on Zia’s cheek “Sleep in peace” she sang softly, humming as she watched Zia’s eyes flutter, watched as she fought to stay awake, the soft pulse of Shana’s soothing power passing through her hand to Zia’s forehead, finally feeling her body go lax, and she scooped up the cup before Zia dropped it and set it down, using her other hand to gently lay Zia on the couch and sighed “I cant break the spell, but the potion you took will help to counter act it some, “ she said to no one “you are a strong spirit, my daughter, I can see why its not only Val attracted to you…….perhaps you can save them both……I wasn’t there for you then, but ive found you now” she spoke quietly before cleaning up and laying a blanket over her

Valarious:

Seriously... Have you learned nothing in all your years Val? Val’s eyes widened in innocence “what?!?! Fucker asked for it, lucky I just didn’t snap his neck, he sighed and watched as Salvatore’s body was moved and tossed into a car and driven off So what sort of place would your sire be drawn to for ego matching housing? Val sighed and looked to the night sky “its hard to say, there has been so much new development around the outskirts of town, a few new mansions have gone up along the west shore, one of those might be hers, Sadly my strength tonight has been drained, fighting Gwen, then salvatore, he may be human but he sure as hell doesn’t punch like one…” Val rubbed his jaw “I haven’t heard from Riley or any of the flock so far, “ he snarled and punched one of the huge steel beams supporting the building, ignoring the pain and cracking of bone in his hand.

I will have one of my people check it out.

Cali sighed.

I have a bad feeling about all of this. According to the boys

She gestured to the remaining wolves.

Gwen has a history with the eagle too and clearly not a good one. Let's just hope MY officer is safer with your sire than she was here.
