"Quite an interesting memory to have in your head, isn't it?" said Matrix. "You don't know who you are. You don't remember anything about yourself. But you want to know. And we can help you."

"If you help us in return," Nexus added.

 

[Lacewing]

She drew back and said quietly "I'm.. not sure if I want to know...." she wasn't sure if she could trust them either..


She had trusted Shane.. and she still wasn't sure what happened.

 

[JediKnight]

"I understand," said Matrix, giving her a sympathetic look. "You want those dark secrets to stay buried. You want to leave them behind."

"But you can't. Because they won't leave you behind. They're after you. Even now, they're searching for you, and you need to know why."

"Think about it," she said. Taking Banner's hand, she put something into it. A key. Then she gave directions to the apartment it belonged to. "You'll be safe there. They won't find you, we'll make sure of it. Stay there as long as you like. When you've made your decision, we'll contact you."

With that, they both vanished.

 

[Lacewing]

Banner stared at the key in her hand and went back to her shadow, thinking hard on if she even WHATED to try and trust them......

Death Staker

I growl to my self as I hear her call me child. With out warning I tern to mist letting her fly right throw me. I then reform in to a raven I folded my wings and dive strait down to the top of a building. I change in to my human form landing easily on my feet looking up where she is looking down at me.

I yell up at her “its nothing personal darling I was hired to kill her and you.” I pos then say “I just happen to like what I’m doing.” I laph as I step off of the edge of the building falling to the ally below. I land easily on my feet and move to a man hole. I change in to mist seeping in to the sewer system. I blend in with the notches fumes if I had a nose I would snort with disgust. I move threw them easily though knowing that she won’t beadle to tell me form the rest of the vapors.

I move to one side of the man hole watching it waiting to see if she will fallow me in to the darkness that is my home and that gives me strength. I send a mental message to her “And for your info I’m over a thousand years old.” I add absently “it’s a dam good thing I can’t smell in this form.” If I had lips I would be smiling as her shadow probe trying to pin point exactly where I am. I drift aimlessly so as not to give my self away.

(OOC nice post ray for our next fight, do we want to try to cheoreagraph it via PM, or make an ooc channel for this? Would make it easier on us I think.)

Shadow growled as she lost her quarry. Quickly she flew back to the restaurant and gathered Chris and Ronnie into her arms. "Change of plans, kiddies...we go back to base, right now."

With that I flew off, with them, heading home.

 

[Lacewing]

Banner ran the shadows, trying to stay out of sight. When she spotted the ones that chased her she paniced and ran again. She debated using the key in her hand but wasn't sure yet, everything was so confusing to her. She paused briefly looking around confused when it felt like she, brushed, something in passing. But no one was there. So when a mental shrug she ran again.

As they flew through the air in Shadow Dancer's arms, Chris had a lot of questions. What happened back there? Who was that guy? What was that guy? But he figured she would explain everything once they got back to 'base.'

He watched the city pass by below him. Suddenly he noticed that his vision was getting clouded and his head was swimming. It wasn't because he was travelling high above the ground at high speed. This was a vision. Funny that it should happen now...

First he saw what looked like a tunnel, maybe a sewer. A dark cloud passed by his field of vision, then it was gone.

The view changed. He saw a cave, lit by torches. A man and a woman were lying side by side, asleep. Time passed, then the woman got up, looking confused and scared. Then she ran.

The vision seemed to skip ahead in time, still following the woman. Now she was running through the streets and alleys of the city, staying in the shadows, hiding from something...

Suddenly, he felt himself being pulled away from this vision. The images before him darkened and faded away into nothing. This had never happened before, and it scared him.

"So, there you are," said a voice from the darkness. "You've led us on quite a chase, even if you didn't know it."

"I told you the girl would be useful," a second voice said to the first."

"Who are you?" Chris asked.

"We are like you, child. And you are one of us. You've always had questions about yourself, your powers. We have the answers. Stay where you are. We will come to you."

Then the vision ended, leaving him with more questions than answers. Chris knew from experience that only a few seconds of real time had passed. As his normal sight returned, he saw that they had arrived at their destination.

Death Staker

I sense Dancer levee angry at my evasion I chuckle to my self anticipating are next in counter when I'm at full strength. I seep back up in to the ally just as the girl I saw earlier leave with the cat man runs through me. I form up behind her as she runs down the ally trying to get away form something or some one. I raise an eyebrow curiosity getting the best of me at lest she’ll make nice meal. I move fast seeming to appear in front of her.

I bow slightly “I sense that your in trouble my lady can I help you.” I say in a friendly tone as I smile winningly to put her at ease. I catch her eyes with mine casing her to fall in to there depths trying to weaken her will to resist.

 

[Lacewing]

Banner

What the vampire encounters is nothing he expected, behind those innocent eyes was power. Incredible power though untrained and her emotions ran high with confusion and distrust.

"You aren't the only to offer 'aid' to me sir" she says stiffly glancing around her looking for any form of trouble or ambush. She was scared. Thought not of him

 

[Lacewing]

That was when Banner's persuers caught up. They fired something and Banner stumbled forwarded grabbing at her throat and the odd collar suddenly there
"Grab her" the first man said
"Who's that" the second man replied pointing at the darkman watching
"Who cares?" the third replied and pointed a gun at the vampire "Just stay out of the way buddy, isn't any of your business"

Banner looked up helpless the collar doing something to paralise her, she was completely paniced and begged the vampire with her eyes to help her.

please

Death Staker

I look down at the girl as her eyes bag me for help. I smile looking up at the men moving toward them slowly menus in every movement. The one with the gun fires the bullet smashing in to my chest. My smile grows wider at the fear that appears in his eye as I keep walking as if the bullet never even touched me. He fires the rest of the bullets in to my chest clustering them near my heart. I stop for a second shaking the pain of. I then move faster then there eyes can fallow seeming to appear behind the one with the gun. I reach out casually putting my hands on the side of his head twisting quickly smiling at the sound of bones popping.

I tern in a blear of movement smashing my hand in to the chest of the man holding the gun that shot the collar around the girls neck. I yank my hand back poling his hart out with it. I smile as I bring it to my lips and suck the blood out of it as the man watches for a second then drops to the ground the film of death already over his eyes.

I move up to the last man only seconds have past and he hadn’t recover form his shock to run or pull he’s gun out. I take him by the throat and lift hem up off his feet to be at eye level with me. I smile evilly the blood form his friends’ heart still glissuning on my lips. I squeeze my hand in to a fist pulping his throat. I let him drop to the ground clawing at his throat trying to breathe. I watch as his movement grow weaker and finely dye.

I then tern back to the girl licking my lips free of the blood. I crouch down next to her my finger carling under the caller. I with an abrupt yank I snap it off of her. I stand polling her on to her feet. I smile and say “looks like you are in some trouble my friend would you like some protection?”

 

[Lacewing]

The collar came off with a snap and freed of the parasilis she flung herself into the man's arms weeping from the trama her mind was begining to bend ready to snap under.

Too much in so few days.

 

[nightray]

Death Staker

I smile evily as the girl throws her arms around me making shear she doesn’t see it. I stroke her hair as she cries in to my chest. I say it’s ok darling I won’t let any thing happen to you. Come with me to my hotel you can stay there for as long as you like I have a sweet with two rooms you sleep in one of the beds.” I put my arm around her waist and I lead her out of the ally.

I look around making sheer their aren’t any more of those men around and that Dancer is not lurking around some where. Seeing that the coast is clear I go to the street and I wave down a cab.

 

[Lacewing]

Banner

She follows the man's lead since she is in too much shock to think clearly at the moment. Her abilities still tingling from being cut off so suddenly.

that had been a few moments that seemed more like hours of agony and mental strain. She didn't know what her abliities were, only that she had them and being cut off hurt.

Alot.

So she didn't feel the danger this man was. More of a danger than shane than the men that tried to take her.

Only her fear and pain blocked out all real sensibility and common sense.

She climbed into the cab with him as he talked about safety and other bullshit she didn't really lisen too, her eyes sagging with the pain still pounding in her head. She curled up like a small kitten shaking with the after effects of the collar she was so glad to be rid of.

Death Staker

The cab moves slowly throw the streets it seems like it's one continues traffic jam. After a few hours pass the driver poles up to my hotel. I hand him a wad of bills not even bothering to count them. He looks at it then looks back at me beaming saying thank you very much ser. I smile faintly as I take the girl in to my arms and carry her out of the car.

I look down at sleeping face I smile involuntarily at it. I shake my head thinking what is it about this girl that makes me wont to protect her. I can sense the grate untapped power with in her and some how I know that she could easily destroy me if she chose to. I shake my head as I carry her in to the lobby and up the elevator. I step out on the top flour walking to one of the five doors that leads to one of the most expensive room in the hotel.

I carry the girl in to my bed room and lay her down on the bed covering her up to the chin. I then walk out to the living room and look out the large flour to ceiling window. I watch as the sun slowly begins to make its gurney to the horizon where it will disappear for the night.

 

[Lacewing]

She slept soundly as the vampire carried to to his room and laid her down in his bed to sleep till she woke. Which she did about a half hour after the sun was down. Opening her soft eyes she looked up at teh unfamiliar ceiling suddenly sitting up in a shock only half remembering earlier before turning and seeing him with a quick breath of relief before weariness returns to her child like features. "Where am I?"

 

[nightray]

Death Staker

One the sun sets completely I walk back in to the bedroom and stand watching the girl waiting for her to wake. I smile softly as she sits up looking around fear in her face. I say “you are in my hotel room your safe hear. You may stay for as long as you need to.” I walk over to the bed slowly looking down at her not making any sudden movements.

I say do not “fear for I will not harm you. My name is Ramon,” I poze for a second then say “I’m alsow knone as Death Staker.” I frown whondering why I told her that. “whats your name and why are thos people after you?” I move away from the bed wondering why I tolder my profishial name. I pick up a phone terning back to the girl saying “What do you wish to eat?”

 

[Lacewing]

"Um anything I guess. I'm not real hungry" the names ment very little to her, she didn't know who deathstalker was though the name Ramon was nice "Banner" she respnded for a name "I.. don't really know.. those guys want to take me back.. I don't want to go back" as to were back was she wouldn't really say no matter how he tried to get it from her.

She plain didn't want to talk about it
