To catch the Half Breed Heart (Closed)

[Asa]

Jacob looked over...

I got this... Dane you refused a demoness designed for sex... Because you like her bosses half demon daughter. That means Lyria has allies other than me and that helps her not cross that line and become like her father. The fallen of lust has only ever had two offspring make it to adulthood. Lyria and a son.

Lyria added.

I did not like having to be careful what I said or did in front of a cop who had no clue. Beyond that like he said my father is the fallen of lust so how do I know or now how do you know any "feelings" are legit and not some spike in my powers?

 

[Nyghtcaller]

"You are the daughter of lust! Alright that is a revelation but we don't choose our parents."

Dane thought for a few minutes, "I know my feelings are real because well I just know for one. The succubus made me feel lust and the need for sex but those feelings came from somewhere else and I knew that. They were not natural feelings like I have for you. Also I don't just want to sleep with you but I want to get to know you and be your friend as well. I don't just look at you as a sex object but as a woman that I like for other reasons than her body."

 

[Asa]

Lyria watched him... She didn't trust that it was not her powers or a trick of the succubus. Jacob looked over to her.

He is not under any power Lyria. Its okay.

We will see... So plain and simple situation my father is not the only one unbound. We have the rare joy of being up against two unbound fallen. Lust and blood. They hate each other typical sibling be from best I can gather. My "brother" is also lurking around with some other offspring of other fallen.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane looked from Lyria to Jacob and back to Lyria. "So let me get all of this straight there are elders here on Earth who wish to increase their realm of power by mating with human females and producing offspring to build a little army."

He paused still gathering his thoughts, "The elders we have are Blood and Lust with you being a child of Lust and you have a brother on the loose out here somewhere. The elders don't play nice with each other and since you and Jacob aren't team players you are on the hit list as well. Now I'm a target because of my association with you guys. We have to find away to stop them before they grow to strong."

He sat back in his chair and ran his hands through his hair and sighed heavily, "Piece of cake", he muttered without much confidence.

 

[Asa]

I have been sending the fallen back to their bonds since I was 15. It just takes time and skill.

Lyria shrugged she was still deep down thinking about the possibility of someone truly being able or willing to love her outside of Jacob.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane looked at Lyria and truly studied her face. She seemed lost in her thoughts and he said nothing for a few moments.

"Look Lyria I know you think my attraction to you is due to your nature but I can promise you it's not. I do however understand that perhaps it is a fools dream that I could ever make you happy or that you would even want me. But I have to try for some reason I know this if I don't try I will regret it for the rest of my life."

Dane swallowed hard not used to admitting feelings like this and looked over at Jacob who gave an approving nod.

"If you have any interest in me at all then don't just assume it won't work take a chance I understand the risks and I'm willing to take those for someone that I think I might want to spend my life with. I knew it the moment I saw you but it took me awhile to come to that realization. When I think of you its not of us in the bedroom though I'm not going to lie and say I haven't imagined it but its more than that. I imagine waking up and fixing you breakfast in bed, bringing flowers home to you, walking hand in hand down a moonlit beach, and holding you till you fall asleep being happy listening to you breathe."

Jacob eyes were watery and he finally shut up before he started to get more emotional. Everything had spilled forth like a damn that suddenly ruptures and he shook his head a little embarrassed.

"I'm sorry I've said to much I should just go."

 

[Asa]

Before he could finish offering to leave she was on her feet and gone.

Damn it Lyria...

Jacob grumbled as he watched her.

Give her time... She... I can't even really tell you. I mean she is the daughter of lust but there is a lot of humanity there too. It is rare for female offspring to survive... Counting Lyria I have only me a handful or two in my life. She watches people... Happy couples... Not so happy couples...

Before Jacob could finish his thought a young blonde walked over seeming an almost protective pissed.

What did you and this cop do to Lyria Jacob.

She was fuming as she stared from one to the other. A local prostitute and to any that were from the area very protective of Lyria since she saved her life.

Chaysa... She will be fine... My friend Dane here likes her... And its not based on her powers... A mortal has managed to rattle her its alright... I promise.

She glared at both of them listening before leaning in close to Dane.

Hurt her and around here it won't matter if you are a cop or not... Got it!

With that she flipped around and stormed off.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane watched her stalk off sort of stealing his thunder in the process. But he let her go without a word and sat down.

A pretty blonde though obviously a prostitute even if she was a upper class prostitute walked over and appeared madder than a wet hen.

She began to question no interrogate would be more correct about what he or Jacob had done to upset Lyria.

Before he could answer Jacob explained and when she said that Dane had rattled her as a mortal it surprised him.

With a final threat from the blonde about it not mattering if he was a cop she stormed off.

Dane stood up and looked down at Jacob, "Thanks for taking care of that for me tell Lyria she can reach me on my cell as he tossed a card on the table. She can also find me at my boat the address is on the back."

Dane called the office and checked his messages and with nothing new or pressing he headed home only stopping off to restock his beer supply.

 

[Asa]

Jacob sighed and nodded flagging over a server and ordering a bottle of whiskey... it was going to be a long night. One of them would hunt him down either Dane with Questions or Lyria with doubts and confusion. He however tensed when he saw Lyria's brother walk right past Dane on his way out. Not now... He grumbled as he got ready for a fight.

Jacob... really... letting my little sister fall for a mortal... much less a cop... some noble fool who has no real clue about how this world really runs? Oh but what should I expect from the "Churches" little bitch boy.

Gabriel... egotistical as always I see... what do you want?

Jacob growled.

I need to find my sister... not that it is any of your business but she seems to have learned how to block us from finding her.

He smirked as he smoothed out his suit jacket and flagged over a waitress who seemed instantly smitten with him.

Take a number there are plenty of us looking for her... now while I am in a good mood pack up your little mutt there and leave.

Jacob motioned to the young man in the corner trying to blend into the ethers. Gabriel knew he could not take Jacob nor his little sister unfortunately Father did not want anything to happen to her that would end his ability to sway her and Jacob's father had plans for his wayward son that went far beyond anything any of the others could do.

Inform her I wish to speak with her... Farewell cousin...

With that he was gone but his associate had caught the scent and was already tracking Lyria as they left.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane walked down the ramp to his boat trying to figure out what in the hell he was supposed to do now. He wondered where Lyria was off to wondered where the hell she called home as well.

But all he could do was wait and see if she called or decided to show up. Grabbing a beer from the fridge he headed back out on the boat and propped his feet up watching the young moon rise from the water and high into the sky. He listened to the soothing sounds of the ocean and breathed the salty air in deep enjoying his surroundings.

He wondered about all the things that he had been told as a child. About God and the Devil, about the supernatural and about sin. He had never believed in the supernatural and faith in God was really low. As far as sin well he had done plenty of that he thought.

 

[Asa]

Lyria sat on the rooftop of the dive of a warehouse apartment she called home. bottle of whiskey and the night all she needed with way too much on her mind to worry about anything else. How could she be sure... Why would this straight laced cop still want to get to know her after what he had been told...

Humans cause too many questions to your kind princess...

She knew the voice... her older brothers "business partner" and Incubus minion.

Gabriel lets you off the leash I see... what do you want demon?

To serve the one I was supposed to serve but still you deny your father and leave me trapped with that annoying brother of yours.

And with him you can stay till you piss me off enough to send you back to the depths.

He laughed and was gone leaving her to her thoughts and anger now that he would visit her at her home.

Gabriel let his associate enjoy time with the one he wanted to be with. He took some joy in the fact that the incubus would never get his sister... but then again Gabriel was a cruel being like that... he always suspected that his "Mortal mother" could have been a halfbreed of a different fallen that just never awakened her powers. He however would go and visit this mortal cop and toy with his mind...

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane was awakened by a noise though he wasn't sure what it was. Deciding nothing was there he closed his eyes and was almost back to sleep. Then a noise again someone or something was on his boat. "Who's there", he called out reaching for his gun slowly.

"I'm a cop so I suggest you get the hell out of here before I come find you and throw your ass in jail for trespassing."

Dane scanned the darkness around him and moved as quickly and quietly as possible. He found the outside switch that would bring on the deck lights and closed his eyes as he flipped it on to keep from blinding himself.

 

[Asa]

Oh I know who you are the question is why is a cop interested in... my sister?

He stood there three piece suit clad with a smirk on his face. As he observed the man before him.

Oh and I would not recommend trying to shoot me I am far more experienced in my powers than my sister is and trust me mortal... you would lose. So why don't we sit down like civilized people and discuss fathers young princess... as our associates view her.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Reluctantly Dane holstered his weapon and sat down offering the other chair to the stranger.

"So you are Lyria's brother she mentioned you didn't seem to think very fondly of you actually."

Dane studied the man for a second and then spoke again, "Why am I interested in your sister hmm." The smart ass part of Dane was about to kick into high gear and he just hoped it wouldn't land him in the hospital or get him dead.

"Let me see she is beautiful that is for sure, I'm a heterosexual man is another reason, and maybe because I just happen to care for her is another. Oh there is one more reason because it makes you curious and presented us with this wonderful chance to chat."

"Why is it so hard for you or anyone else to think that your sister might have someone around that loves her?"

Had he actually said the big "L" word? He had and was that it? Did he love her? "Yes" he thought or at least was falling in love with her though he didn't have much hope of it being returned by her. But we don't choose who we fall in love not true love it just happens.

 

[Asa]

Love... you mortals love throwing that word around but seldom know the depths of what it means. Love...

He laughed shaking his head.

You do realize that she will always wonder if it is her powers or her Lust blessed body that makes you feel that way. Trusting mortals is not our strong suit plus why settle for one lover when father is willing to give his precious princess her own army of incubus lovers to be at her beck and call if she will just get over this rebellious attitude... in fact I have to wonder if she is not sampling one of fathers incubus gifts now... He can be very persuasive.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

His attempt to make Dane question how he felt wasn't working.

"We know enough about love and what it means. Apparently however we don't know as much as you do about hate. Plotting against your sister and I suspect you would take out your father if given the chance. I think it is you that doesn't understand love not us humans. But that doesn't mean Lyria doesn't or can't love it is up to her not me, not you and not her father."

He was a little angry and his voice rose in pitch just a bit as he spoke.

"If Lyria decides to have one of those creatures you are talking about so be it but if I can resist the temptation of one then she sure as hell can. If she chooses to give me a chance then I will make the most of it but if she decides not to then so be it. That's how love works it's a two way street."

 

[Asa]

Gabriel laughed again

You are human... there are those few of you who the succubus and incubus can not truly maintain hold on but for someone born with lust in their blood... do you really think she will be able to fight off the powers of a creature designed to fuel such powers and feelings... So trusting... how... what is the word... noble... no no... naive. Well then why don't we wait and see if she runs to you or Jacob about his visit... There is the fact of another half demon who can understand her and help her far more than a mortal ever could in the picture... do you trust him? I can tell you who is Fallen father is if you like before you answer that.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane thought about what he was telling him and some of did make sense to a degree at least.

"You think that we humans are so weak, simple and don't understand anything. If you are so great and powerful why are you guys trying so hard to come to our world? I'm not saying you couldn't probably kill me with little effort but for creatures that are so insignificant you sure spend a lot of time wanting to be here with us. This world around you we built we adapted it to our needs, built cities, cars, and have even gone to the moon. That cell phone you carry was made by us not you. Go ahead and tell me that where you come from is some special supernatural plain that I can't imagine greater than here. But if that is so true I go back to my point why all the effort to be here on Earth around us?"

Dane paused but not long enough for him to respond. He leaned forward in his chair looking Gabriel directly in the eye.

"But you want to know what makes us special it is our ability to love unconditionally and within that love find forgiveness. When mankind is motivated we can accomplish great things and if Lyria decides to do whatever then she decides and it doesn't change my feelings towards her. She can reject me and my feelings would stay the same. Sure I might be upset, disappointed, hurt and heart broken but I would still care for her. I would get up pick up the pieces and move forward not lay down in the dirt and wallow around like a pig. There is no shame in trying but if one never tries that is the shameful part."

Dane looked away for a second before adding, "As to who the fallen father if you want to give me that information then go for it if not then fuck off!"

 

[Asa]

Your competition is the half breed son of Lucifer himself. Have fun competing with that...

With that a blonde man landed with wings folded around him.

Your sister was as charming as ever Gabriel... This is the human. Your father thinks I can win her away from... Simple... Dreams will be her undoing... For now. Shall we go?

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane had seen some crazy things the last 24 hours or so but this about topped them all. A blonde headed man landed in a whoosh as his wings folded around him.

Dane was to stunned to do more than watch and after a few words they were gone and he was glad. He thought back and realization struck him,

" This is the human. Your father thinks I can win her away from".

"Win her away from, win her away from", he thought in his head. Did that mean that perhaps there was a chance that perhaps she might have some feelings of some kind for him. Either way it meant that the blonde headed winged man hadn't been successful in his endeavors the night before.

Dane smiled a big wide smile and went inside for a cold cold beer.

 

[Asa]

The next morning Jacob collected up Dane and took off for Lyria's home. Finding not surprisingly on the roof. Empty bottle of whiskey shattered against the ledge and her staring out over the city.

Jacob just jumped right in...

Your brother is looking for you.

Oh I know the incubus was here last night.

Lyria shrugged.

Don't care about that pompous brat or his associates... Bloodbath has been too quiet... That is not like him... Something is up.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane rode with Jacob in quiet contemplation and was surprised to find her on the roof and in one of her darker moods though she was always dark.

He wasn't even sure what to say but finally spit it out, "Gabriel came to see me last night along with some flying blonde guy. We had a nice little sit down chat and then I basically told him to fuck off."

He watched Lyria for any reaction at all,, "It's good to see you to Lyria", he added at the last minute.

 

[Asa]

Lyria looked at Jacob

Gabriel dies first.

Jacob nodded and was contemplating what she had said about bloodbath. Lyria walked over to Dane. A casual test of powered reaction versus his normal towards her.

 

[Nyghtcaller]

Dane watched as Lyria spoke to Jacob then walked directly to him. He wasn't sure what to expect from her. He half expect her to slap him no knock the holy hell out of him but she just looked at him.

He stood there just looking at her for a long moment thinking the woman he cared for and probably loved didn't seem to have much use for him.

"Lyria just so you know I'm in this with you till the end alright. I'm sure you think that you don't need my help and maybe your correct but one can never have to many friends even if one of them is only a petty human who happens to be a cop that spends to much time alone."

Where these words came from he had no idea but they felt like the correct thing to say at this point he was flying by the seat of his pants. Handing her a dozen roses would probably not make her squeal in delight like most women. So he was in uncharted waters having no idea how to win the heart of this woman so he did the only thing he could do and that was be honest.

 

[Asa]

His words simply made her smile as she amped her own powers up and touched his chest for a moment leaving a brief tag of her powers wanting to see the difference in him to know when he was affected or not.

We will all win this and at least my brother can't come back. So... How are you now Dane?
