Woven Rings Of Destiny ( Continuation of The Family)

[poohlive]

Stubborn and pig-headed. Lance had to admit, she was reminding him a lot of him when he was younger. She needed to go and do her own thing, and he had no doubt of that.
The only problem was, he was no longer needed with them. His mission wasn't to their cause, it was simply to the book. They were bonded, beyond space and time they were bonded together. Now that he had the book, and the rings to open it's magic, all he would need is the last page and the alter.
The alter was going to be a bitch to find, but at least he partially knew where the page was. If only he didn't have to take everything on it. It would be much simpler if all he could grab was the other half of that spell.
A shudder went down his spine as he thought about the word. It was just one simple word, and in all honesty, didn't even need the book's magic for it to work.
No one can know about it. Which is why it was seperated from the book so long ago.
A twist of fate though, after all this time it was needed to be found again.
Turning off to a country road, Lance made his way into the foothills. From the ease that they had been followed, and the planning of that attack earlier, it seemed like they were being followed rather closely. That's how it always was. He had no doubt Willow was being paid a great deal, and with that kind of money one could buy almost anything.
After a long drive in the country road, he took a turn off onto a gravel one. Dust and pebbles reached into the night sky as he made off towards the secret place. He just hoped after all these years it wasn't boarded up.

Smiling, I reached into my pocket and pulled out the rings I had given Lance just before we headed here. I had relieved him of them once again just as we had come closer to the Hotel.
He had no idea, and wouldn't know until he went searching for them. All well, It wasn't safe to put all our eggs in the same basket.
Walking into the house, I glanced around and moved slowly. All was quiet and still except for a cricket chirping some where in the house. No one was about, it still made it's noise. Sniffing the air, I didn't smell anything unusual as well.
"It's clear." I murmured to the two behind me. Walking quickly I went to my own room and grabbed out a bag. Tossing inside some clothes, cash and keys to the cabin, I also grabbed my daggers from their case under the floor boards in my closet.
Turning I went to Micheal's room and gathered clothes for him as well as a few toys. Next I hunted up in the attic until I found the hidden cubby and fished out the Medalion hidden within.
I knew Beth would place it somewhere safe before anything could happen to it. A tight sad smile appeared on my face as I thought about her and how much I would miss her.
Ray and Maggie were outside waiting for me when I came out and handed Ray the bags.
"Take these for me please? I just need a few other things.."
Walking through the house, I went into the old sunroom, now my training room, and picked up some usefull items. Maggie needed trained and badly. At least some knowledge of hand to hand. I intended on showing her as soon as possible.
Grabbing some supplies so we didn't starve, I ran outside, tossed everything into the trunk and got behind the wheel once again.
"We're going somewhere. I won't say where, and No calling anyone. No using credit cards either on our way. I want to trails this time. We ditch this car soon and find another." I started up the car and drove off again towards the middle of no where.
Turing off the main road, I stopped the car a hour later, broke into a van and changed vehicles. Again we were on the road and this time, I found a dirt road and took it across the country.
Watching the signs, I was looking for an old wooden sign that said condemned mines ahead, no tresspassing.
The cabin that we made for safety and hiding out was in those mines. A perfect place no one had ever found.
I could pull the van inside one of the mines and hide it. The wind would take care of the tire tracks, and no one was behind us the whole way here. All those things spelled out a better chance at this than before.
Pulling up to the locked fence, I jumped out, unlocked it and drove through. I had Ray relock the gate behind us to keep people out. Like it would work, but there was a chance it would.
Weary and tired, it was almost dawn once again, and I still needed some sleep.
Pulling up to the mines, I moved a few of the boards and pulled the van inside.
"Down this tunnel is one that goes right, into a wide open home. Go there and I will reboard this up and join you.." Helping unload the van and send Micheal along with Maggie, I finally got a few minutes to reboard up the opening. Squeezing through two boards, I pulled the last one up and pushed it into place. That one wouldn't be nailed for now.
Safety, finally we were in a safe place. Walking around the van and down the tunnel, i could hear voices low and talking in the 'cabin'. Smiling, I remembered the day Joseph and I had found this place. Decorated our little retreat and spent hours exploring all the caves.. And initiating them all as well. Those were some nice memories, ones I shouldn't be thinking of right now.
Stepping into the main room of the 'cabin' I glanced around to check things out. Everything was the same as when I last left it.

 

[BLACK BART]

The bloodslave wiped his chin, the gore sliding off of it as he dropped the boatswains corpse and reached under the seat of the reeking ship.

"Master?"


"YES" I replied, knowing by his triumphant tone what his news was "Bring it to me, Instantly"

Aria had gone to one of a few places where she felt safe....One where she and "I" had created many memories...Special memories...

"I will give you a few more before I destroy you, my love" I promised the thought of her...and turned to the pretty toy that dangled within my arms.

A twist of her hair and she was bent over and open to me...Her eyes showing the fear and pain she felt.

A few quick rips and she shivered..Her bare skin pimpling from the chilly air and the knowledge of what I had promised to do to her...

"Of course it will" I laughed cruelly "It will be painful beyond anything you have experienced...or had nightmares of"

A half scream escaped her throat as I forced her down and tore into the creamy white skin....Once again feeling the thrill of the terror of my newest toy....And her blood pulsing in my veins.

Scant minutes later I looked down at the second of my "bloodslaves" as she whimpered and rose from the ground, bruised and dirty...

"Find clothes and then return. I will have your purpose to exist when you come back"

It would take an army to stop them...and one by bloody one I would create it...and release it on them....

The place certainly felt different at night time. It was serene, but also deadly. The salty air drifting up into the clear night sky made it feel almost romantic. The moon had since disappeared over the horizon, and the cliffs facing him now were a darkened shelf of themselves.
It didn't bother him though, the nightly shadows danced around as the boat pulled up. It was nearly the same exact spot. Willow had to travel most of the day to get here.
Once he jumped off the boat, a sudden feeling that he was being watched dawned on him. He expected it though, if anything, there were lots of prying eyes in this place. Many ghosts and demons haunted this place. Why shouldn't they? The book wasn't the only thing in here worth value to anyone.
He was looking for such a thing of value at the moment. A tool, to help him conquer the night once more. They had picked up Lance out of the ashes, to fight in the war against the book.
Willow would have to do the same. A villan even more evil and cunning then the fellow vampire who had once trained him to become a lethal killer.
A dark shadow moved close to the cliff. Willow stepped toward it, his sharp eyes peering deep into the cracks. At first, the only thing he could see was the wind blowing up into the crevaces. A few pebbles cracked, and made their way down.
Then he saw it.
"Ahhh, you did come out, as I'd thought"
The creature stood, it's massive hind legs stretching as it displayed it's full heigth. A creature of mass destruction. Human, but barely. Willow had to hold his nose at the stench coming off of the thing.
"Robert, my old friend. How long has it been?"
He simply growled, his eyes turning to slits at the small group now around him. There were only two other vampires with him on the beach, but still the thing felt threatened. As if it needed to be.
"They got away from you, didn't they."
The creature gave out a gutteral sound that made Willow wish he hadn't mentioned that. Apparently the thing was still very sore about having them slip through his fingers.
"Wait... wait," he held up his hands, "I can give you another chance. A chance to destroy them once and for all. Give you the revenge you seek. Crush their bones with your teeth."
The monster before him looked at him curiously, but then gave a toothy grin. It wasn't possible, but Willow swore the thing looked uglier when it smiled.
"Come with me, and I'll give you everything you desire."
It was a good night.

Pacing the Hotel room I quickly became bored and hungry at the same time.
"Bruce, I am going out." I paid him no mind as I wandered into my room and shed my clothes. Digging through my bags I found a black little mini top and some black spandex like cotton pants. Slipping these things on, I put on my black hiking shoes and put my hair into a pony tail. This would be perfect to blend in and hunt. A smile came across my mouth as I stared into the bedroom mirrors. Yes, perfect.
I passed Bruce on the way out the door and grabbed the card key from him. "Relax and stay here, I will return shortly. Anyone calls, just take a message please." I walked out, slamming the door behind me as I jogged down the hall to the elevators. I should have gotten a room a little closer to the elevators and saved me some time.
Making it to the double brass doors, I hit the down arrow and waited. Tapping my foot, I glanced around the area. Empty except for myself. Boring too.
The chime startled me from my glancing around and I stepped inside. Stepping back against the wall, I waited for the doors to close and to be on my way. Stopping at the next floor, I tried not to groan with impatience.
I glanced up as a tall man stepped inside with me. He smiled breifly, spoke softly and said, "Hello." I smiled back, I couldnt help myself in the slightest bit!
"hi there." we waited for the door to close and to decend down to the loby.
My eyes roamed over him, my body heating up with anticipation and frustration just looking at him! Damn this guy was fucking sexy! Black hair, bright sea blue eyes. He had to dimples that peeked out when he smiled at me. Manicured nails, taliored suit, no wedding ring on his finger. He smelled of rich cologne, something that made my heart flutter just a little with thoughts of raping him right here in this public elevator.
"Are you here for long?" My thoughts inward I glanced up and caught him looking at me.
"Pardon?" I felt a little sheepish there, but my god he had broad shoulders!
"Are you staying here long?"
"Ohh, Sorry i was thinking about something.. Uh yeah. I will be here for a few days. You?"
"Yes, I am in meetings most of the week but my nights I get to roam this fair city of love.." He grinned, his teeth white and even, appealing once again.
"Sounds very boring to me..I am Erika. Erika Robards.. And you are?" I extended my hand, the touch I knew was going to make me melt. I was in lust!
"Mitchel Parker." He took my hand, and instead of shaking it, he kissed lightly on my knuckles. A devilish grin curved my lips as I watched him go down, kiss and go back up to his full height.
"Well it is a pleasure to meet you Mitchel."
"Yes, it is Erika...Your name? sounds familiar to me?"
"Oh? Well could be, if you are from new york area or Chicago?"
"New York."
"Oh yes, I own about seven major companies there.."
"Ahhhhhh.." He fell silent, his eyes checking me out now even more than he had before. My name did ring a bell to him, I seen it in his eyes.
"Tycoon's daughter. Rich by her own means of ruthless cunning dealings.. You are well known and might I add? Admired?"
"Why thank you Mitchel, that is so very kind of you.." I chuckled and pulled my hand from his grasp.
"Oh sorry, I forgot I was holding that.." He grinned, his smile telling me he was not remotely sorry for that move on me.
"Would you like to go have a drink with me in the Hotel lounge?" He quieried, I knew his mind was working on something. More than likely the same thoughts I was having.
"Yes, I would love to.." Just then the elevator stopped moving and he stepped off, holding the door for me and bowing.
"This way M'lady.." I giggled at that and moved past him. Calm and cool I thought, he was good.. Damned good. But then again so was I.
My hips swayed seductively as I walked before him, his hand at the small of my back escorting me into the lounge. He held my chair for me, and sat. His hand motioning silently for the waiter.
"What would you like?" He asked again in that silky soft tone.
"White wine please." He nodded, ordering softly and then turned that smile back on me once again.
"What brings you to paris?" He was quizzing me or just scoping, I would play along.
"I am here on vacation. To play as the rich do and see exotic things.." I sat forward, my hands set out before me, my elbows on the table as I moved closer to him to speak.
"I find it highly erotic to see new places, try new things. Life's joys, is it not?" I sat back as the waiter delivered our drinks and quickly left.
"Yes, Paris is good for many things. Adventure, romance, exotic things and new bold ideas. Cheers." He toasted to that I assumed and I toasted along with him.
My eyes held his as we both sipped the drink, tonight was looking up for me.

 

[nightray]

Ray

I look around this quant home in the rock I frown as I see light coming form some where I look up then and see a hole in the ceiling light poring in from it. I walk under it looking up and see the sky threw glass that is hiding beneath trees and shrubs no one form above could see what’s there but it lets light in. I nod turning looking at Maggie saying “this place should be safe for a time any way.

I smile and take her in to my arms hugging her close simply glad that she’s ok and wasn’t hurt. I kiss her deeply. I brake the kiss saying “Know my love we need to teach you to how to fight since your insisting on going out on your own and running in to this rude men.” I chuckle softly as I look arund agene making sheer Mickey doesn’t go wondering in to the caves getting him self lost.

I look arund seeing Aria com in from the van I smile and ask “Do you have a training room? I need to teach Maggie how to fight since she keeps insisting on getting in to fights with disrespectful men.” I chuckle softly though my eyes show that I’m very seric. I pull Maggie to me titter never wanting to let her out of my sight agene but knowing better then that.

 

[Shoty98]

Maggie

"We can only hope." I smiled at him and basked in his warm embrace. A feeling of calm washed over me for a few moments. I felt warm blissful and didn't last as long as I had liked.
"Teach me how to fight huh? I thought I did pretty good back there. Took out three completely and wounded three more. I didn't know how much strength I had."
I looked to Aria as she entered the large room, she looked exhausted. I sighed with the relief that she was in fact not dead and still here with us.
With Ray's little comment I puched him in the arm and stepped away from him a half smile on my face. "Insist my ass buddy. And disrespectful men, not hardly they were....." I heard Micheal giggle and knew I could not finish my sentence. He was to young to hear the kinds of things I wanted to say.
I sat down on the floor of the cave, and tucked my legs beneath me. Watching Micheal play, was entertaining and relaxing.
"How did you know about this place Aria? It is beautiful and seems the perfect place to hide out for a while....Oh got anything to drink around here?"
I didn't look up at either of them but continued watching Micheal zoom his cars around the earthen floor, making vroom, vroom noises to make them seem real. How easy it was to be a child I thought for a moment, not a care in the world.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

Walking inside I set down the last of the supplies and stretched my back.
"Joseph and I found this place the first two day's we were here. Decided we liked it and wanted to keep coming here." I fell silent with that thought. Now wasn't a time to think about Joseph.
"Training will have to wait for a bit, Need to put these things away and make something to eat. If you walk into that tunnel over there you will find a gas portable stove for heating and somewhere around here is some water ponds, but has to be boiled, There are giant storage tubs of water in there as well as some can foods.."
I walked over and plopped down on the couch, I was tired once again. There was just too much shit to do to nap just now thought.
"I need to sit somewhere quiet and meditate.. I need to find where Lance went, and see if I can pick up on him some how.." I stood up and walked towards one of the back caverns, "There is a training room, but first I need to use it. Maggie will you feed Micheal for me?"

 

[poohlive]

Lance took another drink from the canteen. The cool water trickled past his lips, some even dribbling down his chin. It was cool, and crisp, something water should be. He took it from his lips, glancing at the container in his hands.

"No wonder people pay for this," closing the lid up, he threw it next to his pack. Leaning up against his motorcycle, he stared at the flaring embers in the fire. It wasn't very big, but it was all he neede. The night air had come up suddenly, and even with his sight he wanted to be able to see all around him.

No doubt they are going to plan some sort of attack. The book always attracted all kinds of evil. When it was finally complete though, it would be like a magnet to anythign and everything.
People will do whatever they can to find out that word.

He shook his head, getting back to the task at hand.

The building surrounding Lance was nothing more than ruins. It looked like an ancient cathederal, made of stone some hundreds of years ago. At this point thought, the roof was gone, and the walls were slowly crumbling down to the earth from where they came. It was nothing more than a weird bunch of walls strapped together now.

Huge holes, where doors once were stood out like missing teeth. The huge gaps, which were once doors, had slowly eroded, growing in depth and width. They were now big enough to fit a car into, easily. The rock, aging and crumbling, had served it's time. The only thing left was the inevitable wind and rain, to finish the job. Nature was a bitch when she wanted to be.

Still, until that time, it served as good a shelter as any. He had found a small basement. Nothing big, or grand, just a few aged boxes. In there, he had picked up the sword now in his hands.
It looked to be about from the era of Musketeers, the rusted over Cutlass even had a golden handle, which now looked defected.
Lance had been taking the rust off of it for hours now. The dawning of the next day had come slowly, as he used a rock he'd found to brig the sword back to it's original beauty.

It was in there, somewhere.

In truth, he considered himself lucky to find this piece of equpiment. The aged swords were always better than the new ones. Back when this was created, the blacksmith had taken his time, carefully forged the piece of steel to mere perfection. Days and days of slight modifications, to make sure that it was as lethal as possible.

And now, he was bringing it back to that perfection.

It was slow work, but almost a whole side was now bright and gleaming. He would have to find some new leather, to bind the hilt's handle. At this point it would simply keep slipping out of his hands, and that's something he didn't want. In battle, little things like that should be the least of his worries.

Turning the sword over, he started on the other side.

Something in the fire cracked as dawn's fingers creeped over the hills in the horizon. Today would be a good day.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Erika

This guy was boring me, his talking for the past three hours about work was down right shitty conversation. Yawning, I glanced out the windows of the Lounge.
"I must go, I am sorry but it's nearing dawn and I do need to sleep." I stood up and picked up my glass, draining it in one gulp. He rose and smiled, "Should I walk you back?"
I shook my head, "No thanks, I am a big girl.." He stepped back a little, stung by my words but what did I care? Not one fucking iota.
"Nice meeting you Mitchel." I walked around him and out of the lounge.
"Hey wait up!" he came jogging out and stopped me with his hand on my arm.
"Would you like to meet for drinks tomorrow perhaps?" His hand tightening ever so slightly on my upper arm. My eyes fell to his restraining hand and then up to his face, my eyes spitting fire at him as I turned.
"release me." A low deathly calm voice spoke, my own but it had never sounded so offended before? Odd.
"Oh, pardon me. Sorry. That drink?" He wasn't going to give up just yet.
"Not tomorrow, perhaps before the week is out. Perhaps not, Now excuse me I have some things to do." I walked off, not giving one backward glance as I went outside. I needed nurishment and this tweedly dick kept me bored for too many hours.
Roaming the streets wouldn't be hard now, it was day light and more were out walking about. But it would be harder to eat now with so many around.
"Fuck!" I cursed venhemently under my breath, I hated men like that! Next time I find myself a book worm nerd who will grovel to get my attention instead of boring me to death!

 

[Shoty98]

Maggie

"No problem Aria. I can do that. Is anyone else hungry?" I questioned, just in case.
I rose from the floor and went into the cave Aria pointed out. Indeed there were tubs of water and canned food everywhere. I began looking through everything, including what Aria had grabbed from the house. I smiled, she must have known exactly where she was taking all of us.
I carried out of the tunnel everything I found I would need. Setting up the stove took me a few minutes but I had managed. In the pot I put some water and began cutting up vegatables and a bit a meat I found in the supplies from the house. About an hour later the entire cave smelled of a glorious stew, thick and spicy.
I dished some up for Micheal and set it aside to cool, then went back into the tunnel. I knew full well where ever Joseph and Aria were there was bound to be at least one bottle of wine. At last I had found one and a few old tin cups. Opening the wine I poured myself some and took everything back into the main room.
"Dinner is ready, hope your all hungry." With that I emptied my hands and sat Micheal down with his dinner and a glass of water.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

The smells that drifted through the caves caught my attention. Perhaps eating first would be a much better idea than Meditating just now.
Turning back towards the main room, I walked to the table and sat down with my family.
"Thank you Mag's for making something to eat.." I picked up the glass of wine and sipped it, testing to see if it was still as good as the last bottle. I wouldn't think of that right now, not now.
Pasting on a bright smile, I took a bowl of stew and sat back quietly eating.
"I supposed, "I said between bites, "That I should tell you what happened when I went for the book shouldn't I?"
Ray looked bored, not really caring what I said, he was too busy eating and smiling at Maggie.
Sighing, I whispered, "It doesn't matter anyways. But We have the book and Lance is going for the last page. Needless to say, things are progressing better and better. I do however, need those credit cards of yours Ray and yours too Maggie. We're being followed, which I know you are aware of. Only cash this time, and no more than twenty four hours in any location right now." I flinched a little, my thigh still paining me from the wounds.
I went back to eating, even had myself a second bowl.
"Excellent, Mag's.. Micheal eat your dinner.." I stood up and rinsed my bowl out. Ray came in behind me and handed me his as well. Pulling out his wallet, I watched as he forked over all six of his cards and gave me one of those looks.
"You'll get them back, dont pout." He grinned and said nothing more than "alright." I watched as he yawned and stretched, I could see the weariness in his eyes.
"Why don't you go take a nap with Micheal?" He rolled his eyes, "Why would I try to share a bed with him when you and I both know I'd just be kicked out of bed?"
I chuckled and shook my head, "Alright, will you go lay him down for me then?"
"Yeah, guess so.. He doesn't bite does he?" I shook my head and laughed again.
"Afraid of children Ray?"
He shrugged and moved back out into the main room. Men, always whining about something.
I rinsed out my bowl and Ray's, i would get the rest later. Right now I had to go and clear my mind.
Perhaps something usefull would come to me instead of drawing a blank.
I stopped to speak with Maggie, Ray having already took Micheal into one of the corners to lay him down.
"We need to train you some what mags.. But first I need to go and see if I can get any information out of willow.. if you know what I mean?" Maggie knew my meaning, as I had done before, I was going to try again.
It had been awhile, years infact since I used this gift, but anything that would help us was worth a try.
I travelled down the dark cave to a wide open square room. Caves usually had round ones, but this one wasn't. Different, but I didn't care. It worked. Joseph had put down a 'floor' for us in this room , a large area covered with blue mats, it would work.
I sat in the center, folding my legs and resting my hands on my thighs lightly.
Breathing in and out, calming myself, I closed my eyes and did my best to clear out my mind. I would sit like this for hours if need be, but I would get some kind of answers...

 

[Sweetp4u]

Erika

I walked and walked and walked, stalking first one then another. Each would be going somewhere that was just too populated for me to take.
My temper was wearing thin and I was losing patience with these mortals. I had told that moron in the bar is was nearing dawn, shaking my head I wondered what the hell i was thinking to say such a thing? Hell it was barely midnight!
I needed something to eat and badly. I picked up my pace, moving like a blur through the crowds and through the empty alley ways. Sooner or later I would find one, just one to take and curb my thirst with.
I spotted a lone man, walking silently, head down and news paper tucked under his arm. Smiling, I almost shouted with triumph. I had myself some dinner!
I moved parrallel To him, keeping him in sight as he walked along. The streets of Paris were empty here, quiet as well. The cobblestone street he was strolling down help his feet to echo through the area, He was silent. Never looking left nor right, just walking. Where was he heading? He didn't go towards any doors, he never looked up when someone drove by, just walked.
Well alright, a loner then?
I moved over across the street, following him silently, waiting to strike. He mumbled something under his breath, but I heard it clearly as if i was standing beside him.
"I'm coming master.." His voice was eery sounding, like he was in a trance or something? This man stopped for a moment to get his bearings and that is when I pounced. I moved up behind him and grabbed him tightly to me.
"Good evenin Luv. Got a moment for a Lady?" I whispered into his ear.
"My master is waiting.." He brushed me off, and it wasn't no simple little brush off, he actually pulled from my grip!? That was not possible.. unless? Nah.. I was .....wait?
"Sir?"
He kept walking and paid me no attention at all. I followed behind him, keeping my strides even with him.
"LEAVE ME BE!"

I jumped back as this hell spawn turned on me and lunged towards me. He gripped me by the neck and hefted me from the ground. His eyes glowing firey red at me as he growled like a rabbid animal. His breath was putridly hair curling, his strength great.
"Holy shit!" I gripped his hand that was holding my neck and snapped it backwards. He howled in anger, dropping something heavy on my foot from within his coat.
Cursing I glanced down at the sword that had stabbed through my boot and my foot as well.
I went to sink my teeth into this creature and drain his ass dry when I picked up the scent of another vampire.
"You're under control.. By who!? Answer me!" I gripped his other hand and broke it as well, he just bellowed in anger and went to grab me again but halted in his steps.
"Master needs me." He turned, grabbed the sword, yanking it from my foot and carried on his moonlit walk as if nothing strange had happened just now.
"Big boy in the area.. I've got to find out just who though..." Something didn't smell right here. Vladamir had taken care of all the elder vampires. Except for Joseph there were none older than Vladamir. So where did this new one come from? To make himself a damned slave he had to have the knowledge and had to be pretty damned old to control someone's mind that well...
A mystery I intended to find out and soon as possible.
I turned back towards town, my thoughts on following the man erased from my mind for now. I wasn't prepared to go in search of some old blood sucker right now. I was alone and I was hungry.
For now I would play it safely, then when the time was right, i would find this one and see for myself who and what he or she was. I couldn't believe Vladamir had forgotten one..
I moved through the park, heading back towards my hotel when I came across a young male in his twenties sitting looking at some bugs or something in a jar.
"Hi there." I smiled sweetly at the young man. "Care for some company?"
He glared at me first, untrustingly, then his eyes roamed up and down my body. I was thankful it was dark, it would hide the blood on my boot. I bit back the anger boiling inside from that painful throbbing in my toes and slid next to the young man.
"What are you doing out here and alone?"
"You're American aren't you?" He could hear my accent as I could hear his.
"Yes, and you are french.. Something wrong with some conversation?"
"No.." He was a rude little guy, but then again he was probably stung before as well.
My eyes caught his, and he froze solidly in place. Scooting closer I didn't look away as I ran my hand up his thigh.
"I'm lonely tonight, I just wanted some company is all.." I heard his deep intake of air as he gulped down to nod his head yes. His eyes still held by my own, I knew I had him. Hook line and sinker.
Smiling I scooted a little closer until I was pressed from shoulder to knee to this young one.
"Are you lonely too?" I inquired.
"Y-ye-ss'm" His voice was soft, he hadn't fully developed just yet, he was still going through puberty. I smiled at that.
"Are you a virgin?" He nodded once, a quick little movement as to not break our locked eyes.
"want to kiss me?"
Again he nodded his head and moved forward a little. "Relax a little, I wont bite.. not hard anyways.." I chuckled a little and he flushed red. His eyes burning with desire now, he wanted me.
Our lips met, he definately was one very unskilled young man at this. But He moaned and I grinned. Kissing him chastly as possible, I moved along his jaw to his neck as my hand slid up his inner thigh.
"Touch me.." I whispered into his ear, this would heighten his sexual desires and lessen his perceptions. He jerked a little at my touch and sighed as my tongue traced circles on his neck.
Once I was certain he was lulled into that foggy state of mind, I bit into his jugular and drank deeply from him. For a moment i was tempted to take only what I needed but I decided to take all that I wanted.
He groaned and trembled in my arms, I could read his thoughts well, I knew he was frightened and with that knowledge came this powerful feeling. It washed over me and it gave me this rush I hadn't really felt before. Moaning, I felt the answering tug in my sex as I drank and drank from this poor young virgin.
He shivered now, his loss of blood making him feel cold, light headed and weary as well.
I wrapped my hand around his stiffening member in his pants as I drank, he was going to cum soon, but one thought shot through my mind from his...
"I don't want to die!" His thought was never more clear than before. He knew what was coming, but couldn't fight me off any longer. I let go just as his heart beat it's last in his chest and he fell backwards against the bench. He was dead, never again would he feel lonely or rejected. I ended his misery.. Well I thought so anyways.
Picking up the body I put it in the heavily wooded area of the park and covered it with leaves. It would be found, but it would be found long after I was gone.
Stretching, I felt renew vigor come over me, the urge to run surged through me as I laughed in contentment.

Success on the edge of Failure

"Master, I have failed you"

Words faint, weak...but distinguishable as to the identity.


I moved....Flashing from the aged building and into the trees...Each object crystal clear to my vision as I passed by it, to the normal man I appeareda blur...if they were unlucky enough to catch a glimpse of me. Minutes later I knelt by his side and looked down.

"She slowed me Master, stopped me...But I moved on, I wish only to serve you"

The cool metal brushed my skin and I smiled, sliding it from the leather sheath it was protected in and feeling its edge as I stood.

"You have not failed me and now I give you your reward" The words spoken the blade hissed thru the damp night air....removing his head from his broken and worthless body, both smouldering as they turned to dust...

There was no need to ask who "she" was, I saw it through his eyes and smelled the scent of "her" on his body where she touched him, snapping his bones....And I smelled another scent as well, mingled with hers...the scent of fresh human blood...SHE had fed...and again I moved...

"You will serve me quite well" I told the pale faced young man "Bitten by one and fed by another, I give you blood and a purpose for vengeance"

The blood dripped from my finger, cut by the edge of the sword...my sword....and onto his lips and his body coughed, twisted, wracked by pain as he was brought from the world of the dead to my world....

"Rise and guide me" I told my newest slave "Follow the scent of the one who killed you...think of what she has taken from you...and use THIS on her heart..." I slid a golden dagger from my belt and into his hand, looking into his eyes and seeing the hate grow by the second

"Yessssss, She has removed your life and I have restored it, now repay your debt..."

Eyes blazing the youth rose and moved...with a purpose, a desire for blood...And his failure would be my success...

Gathering the sword and sheath I moved again, towards the heart of a nearby den of sin...a brothel that would satisfy my EVERY need...and supply me with a near endless source of bloodslaves.

Maggie

"Alright Aria...training it is. Whenever you've got time." I gave har a nod and a sympathetic smile. I knew what she was trying to do and I have before seen how hard it is on her mentally and physically.
I watched her retreating back as she headed into one of the caves, then began cleaning up the mess I had made. "I can make a killer stew and....a killer mess to go along with it!" I mused to myself.
All was cleaned up, I dried the last dish and put it away, then poured one more glass of wine. I sipped at it while I went to check on Micheal and Ray. To my amusement Micheal was sleeping in the corner, almost looking like he was being punished and Ray was sitting up on the couch, hands behind his head and snoring loudly.
I smiled softly at the two of them and left the main room. I needed someplace quiet so I began searching the small caves that branched off from the big one. The first one I came across was the one Aria had gone down. I could hear her breathing and could smell her sent wafting up from it's depths.
I didn't make a sound, I didn't want to disturb her in her meditating, but just quietly moved on. My search turned up a few more caves, some fairly small and otheres bigger and deeper. I chose one of the deeper ones and moved inside, finding a seat and propping my back against the wall.
The silence was welcomed and the darkness as well. Setting my glass down I rested my head back and closed my eyes. Visions started flooding through my thoughts drowning out my own and taking over. I began to feel as though I was watching a movie play on the backs of my eyelids.

He sat huddled behind the couch, huddled up in a protective ball, listening to the sounds around him. His father was screaming at his mother. Paul could here the distinct sound of flesh hitting flesh as his father repeatedly slapped his mother, calling her vile degrating names.
A gunshot sounded through the room and Paul jumped slightly, then another. Soon no more sound could be heard. When Paul felt he was safe he climbed out of his hiding place, the sight he saw made him throw up.
His mother and father both lay still as boards on the floor, bleeding profusely from their heads. Paul didn't want to see any more of the masacre that lay before him so he ran, out of the house and into the night. He realized that the night didn't scare him nearly as bad as what he had just seen.
Paul ran and ran until his legs crumbled in exhaustion beneath him. What would happen to him now, he kept thinking silently. As the possiblities began ruinning through his head he gave in and cried.
Years later he was a young man sitting in an alley way, drinking liquor with the other homeless men he had come to know. The warmth of the fire made him feel at home on the streets and gave him an assurance that all would one day soon, would be right for him.
The liquor was gone, his friends asleep, but Paul wasn't. He was restless and sleep avoided him like the plauge. Thinking a walk in the night air would soothe this feeling he felt, Paul got up and walked the streets half the night.
Paul was soon approached by a dark figure. The man spoke to him promising him eternity and a far better life than wallowing in the streets like an urchin. Paul looked suspiciously at the man before him and consider the thought. The man intruded on his thoughts "I can give you all of this, if you will swear loyalty to me and follow me in every endeavor. The choice is yours and choose well."
It was alot to think about, and Paul was seriously considering it. Hell all he had to do was swear loyalty and do what he was told and he would be taken care of. The thought of never having to call the streets home again was the best upside........

I jerked my eyes open "What the hell was that shit?" I spoke softly to myself. I had never experienced anything like that before. Struggling I kept the thoughts from returning, it was a difficult task that took nearly every ounce of energy within me. My breathing was heavy and sweat beaded on my brow. With a swipe of my arm it was gone for the moment.
If I had seen the face I would have probably recognized what I was seeing but it was all shadows and darkness. I sighed heavily and rose from the floor.
Would that happen again? Could I control it, kep it from happening ? I wasn't sure and it scared me.

It was near dawn before Willow even got the call. He had been waiting all night, half asleep in the passenger side of a van. The huge vehicle making it's way down the hiway, with the specific cargo in the back.
The huge beast, crowded in there, breathing heavilly, his eyes intent with rage as they moved onward in the night.
He picked up the phone, "Where are they?"
"It seems as if Lance went off on his own. He is at some old cathedral in the foothills an hour or so east of Orleans, there...."
He cut the man off, "Yes, yes, I know where that is. Typical he'd go there. He'll meet his down there as well."
He flapped the visor on the Van's top to stop the rising sun to catch his eyes.
"The others moved to some sort of cave, I'm not sure, things are fuzzy with them. All we can tell is that it's shielded off and a few clues to get to it."
Willow tapped the antenna of the phone on his neck repeatedly, thinking long and hard.
"Ok, keep an eye out, I want you there as soon as possible. A cave would be the perfect spot to take that brat, and those rings. We'll go after Lance, update me when you get more."
He hung up, telling the driver where to get off the hiway. In a couple of hours, Lance would be nothing more than another meal for Robert.
As if in agreement, the beast shuffled in the back, grunting heavilly. Willow nodded, knowing that no words had to be shared. It was a guy thing.
Death was coming.

Aria

I had sat like this for hours, my mind empty.. Devoid of anything stronger than the room around me. Nothing had just come to me, I apparently had to go in search of it.
Sighing, I began to think back to the beach, myself and Lance huddled in the cave entrance as we were fired upon. Again there was nothing coming to me from him. Lance must have his thoughts and his mind locked up tighter than Fort Knox.
Inwardly my mind scanned everything we had done, trying to form some kind of connection but nothing was tripping it off inside me. Trying not to get irritated or annoyed in any way, I went back over the beach scene again and again.
When I came to Willow it was as if a ton of air pressure colasped in on me. Bracing my hands on the mat, I gulped in a deep breath of air, my mind again focusing on Willow. This time he was sharper in my mind, he was there. An open book letting me in, and the best part was he would never be aware I was in there.
The dizzy, spinning sensations took hold as did the urge to vomit up my dinner as well.
I fought harder to control it, not let it control me. Sweat beaded across my forehead as my body tensed outwardly. Inwardly I was filtering through crap in his mind and past I did not need to know. It was almost like watching a video tape on fast forward.
It would slow and important things would come into a clearer screen but not what I was looking for.
I felt my body tingle as I came closer and closer to my destination. My mind was taking me somewhere I wasn't even aware of! This gift was a curse as well as a blessing.
I smiled a little, the scene slowed and standing on the beach I was in Willow speaking to the ugliest thing I had ever seen in my life!
"Wait... wait," his hands were held up, "I can give you another chance. A chance to destroy them once and for all. Give you the revenge you seek. Crush their bones with your teeth."
He paused, watching the hulking beast a moment, letting his offer sink in.
"Come with me, and I'll give you everything you desire." He moved then, this beast behind him walking towards this boat.
I jerked out of it, my body shaking and weak as I gulped for air!
"You bastard, you will get yours.. I'll make sure of it!" I hissed in the empty room.
Willow had hired Robert to kill both me and Lance. I knew they were searching for us and I now knew he had some aid of some kind in finding us! But who?
Stretching, I walked to the table and grabbed a fresh drink, pouring it over my neck to cool me off and stop the shaking.
Willow was the key, he was in search of Lance and once he knew where Lance was, so would I!
I walked back to the mat and sat down in the center once again. Closing my eyes I began to relax and let that sickening feeling take over once more. Sinking deeper and deeper down I once again was connected to Willow and this time we were in a Van driving to Lance.
"Tell me where, tell me where he is!" I had to wait, I needed a thought or spoken words to know now where Lance was. But all i was getting from Willow was a satisfied sensation through his body. He had found Lance but wasn't even dwelling on it.......

With the renewed energy racing through me I made it back to my Hotel in record time. My body was alive and active for once and it felt wonderful! I hadn't felt this good since I was turned and had taken and taken from several people, gluttoning myself in the rich red wine of life.
Smiling I breezed into my room and kissed Bruce on the cheek as if a returning parent.
"Your meal went well boss?" He asked with a light tone.
"Oh yes, perfection my dear.. I am weary now and off to bed. Do lock up Bruce and get some rest as well. Dawn is approaching and we both have been up far to long.." I blew into my room and shed my clothes, my smile and vigor going to make it nearly impossible to rest now. I would give it a try though, if it didn't work I could always just move on to my destination.
Crawling onto the king sized bed, I lay down and sighed. I was happy minus the fact Vladamir was missing and avoiding me, but all in all I felt extremely well.
I rolled onto my back and closed my eyes. Rest would come in time, for now I could just sit here and plot the many ways I would rid this world of that little smart ass Willow....

 

[BLACK BART]

"My name is Rogerrrrrr" The new bloodslave repeated over and over..."Rogerrrr"

One hand toyed with the hilt of the dagger, the other held out in front of him as he moved towards HER door....and nearly ran into her manservant....

The outstretched hand fit his neck naturally and he squeezed...enjoying the sight of the mans eyes expanding as he was lifted ff the ground....

"My name is Rogerrrrr" The idiotic phrase was repeted again, directed at the face rapidly turning red above him.

No answer came from the manservant...None could, but the bloodslave didn't understand that...In fact he was angered by the lack of response and drew the dagger, plunging it into his chest repeatedly.

Blood covered the mans chest and flowed to the arm holding his now unmoving body...Then dripped to the floor below as the bloodslave stared at the closed eyes...and bloodless corpse.

"Rogerrrr" The word was repeatedly idioticly again as the corpse hit the floor, the blood wasted....as it soaked into the carpet and Roger turned to the closed door and shoved it open, moving inside to the figure laying on the bed....

"Rogers" eyes opened wide as he recognized the woman resting on the bed, her eyes opening slowly....

"My name is Rogerrrrrr, I have come to kill you" The words were clear...her face striking a cord within the bloodslaves warped mind as he reached a hand to HER throat and grabbed it, lifting the still drawn dagger into the air as the figure below squirmed and began to move.

"Killlllll Youuuuuuu" Roger hissed, his eyes burning with anger and the need to destroy HER

The van came to a ginding halt next to the gravel road. The sun was now high in the sky, and it nearly disgusted him. This would be so much better in the night time. Not that it would be that much of a surprise, but a vampire's home is in the night. He can stand the sun, but not thrive in it.
Getting out, he watched as the van shook terribly. Robert held up his club, growling back at Willow. Willow seemed to nod, thinking of the best way to do this.
"All right, I want you to go around, the long way. Downwind, you understand that?"
There was a glazed look on the monsters, face, but a slow nod. Good, the idiot can be taught a thing or two.
"Wait for my signal. I want to talk to him first. Lance shouldn't be doing this at all. If he had a brain cell left in that head, he'd join us."
There was an angry growl from the animal, and Willow took a few steps back.
"Don't worry, you'll get to kill someone. We know where his friends are, and with you by our side, no dim witted cunt can stop us."
He motioned for the creature to get lost, and with a couple of bounds Robert was in through the forest. For a horrendously big and ugly creature, he was quite graceful; hardly made a sound. That would be helpful in the future.
He got back into the van, "Let's go. I want this over with so I can go get some lunch."
A flash of gravel shot from under the tires as the van moved down to Lance's doom.

I awoke to some stupid moron rambling something in my face.
"What the!?....." My eyes popped open to stare at the young man from earlier in my room!? Wasn't he dead?!
His hand clamped down on my throat cutting off air supply. I croaked out to Bruce but heard nothing in the next room. I watched in horror as his arm raised and revealed a dagger in a fisted hand.
Struggling, this little twirp was stronger than he appeared to be. NO! It couldn't be possible?! It was unheard of in this day and age!? Thinking quickly as I could I kicked out with my foot, freeing it from the blankets. Growling, which sounded more like a squawk than anything else, I brought my foot to my chest and quickly kicked him in the chest. My fingers dug in, prying his hands from my throat as he reeled backwards.
Gasping for air, I glared at the creature climbing back to his feet. My throat hurt, my eyes stung a little and I was getting a little pissed off.
"Who sent you!?" I panted out, my eyes narrowing on him as he stepped towards me. Rubbing my throat, my eyes darkened a little as I felt the familiar stickiness on my finger tips. Blood. It was my blood! My fingernails must have dug into my skin as I was yanking on his.
"You little half wit fuck tard!" I was boiling now, my threats didn't seem to falter his movements in the slightest neither. What kind of deranged monster was this? I slowly moved my body, angling to slide off the bed backwards. There was no way in hell I was turning my back to this vile beast for even a second.
The scent was there as well. Over lapping my own. Someone had made him into a blood slave. Unheard of for centuries, but here was one standing before me. Worming his carcass a little closer each second until he was only a few inches from me. I jumped quickly backwards and all hell broke loose!
He started cursing and hissing at me like some fucking freak snake. My skin crawled a little at his mad look as my heart did a wild lurch and my stomach dropped into my ass. Turning I grabbed the lamp next to me and hurtled it at his head.
It sailed across the few feet and smacked him right in his face. So hard I heard the crunching of bones. My eyes widened a little as the blood splattered the wall to his left, but he kept on coming.
Panic set in a second, this was fucking freaky! I went to run and his hand was gripping my arm.
"Nooooooo! die!" His hollow voice seemed to ooze out those words, a sickening sound.. One I never wanted to hear again either.
Again his arm raised, I did the only thing I could, I reached out and grabbed his one wrist in both of my hands and snapped it again. His grip didn't lessen any, he kept on coming. His strength was uncanny, never seen a near mortal.. or was he just a zombie? I didn't know but fuck me he was strong!
He pushed me backwards, my back connecting with the wall and caving under the impact.
"Oooofhuck!" The breath was shoved so violently from my lungs, I couldn't catch my breath for a very painful heart beat. I pushed back, sending him backwards and onto the bed. Turning I lept for the bathroom and grabbed the nightstand in the process. Hurtling it too at his approaching chest, it did nothing to slow him down. Splintering wood could be heard and a loud crash as it went sailing into the far corner.
His eyes were pinned on me, the dagger still gripped in his fist as he grabbed me by my hair and yanked me backwards. Coming down hard on my ass his arm arced over me and I barely managed to move left before the dagger sank into my chest.
Crying out in pain and anger, I lept to a crouch, gripped his wrist still attached to that dagger and flipped him over my body. He came down hard into the bathroom and tore the dagger from my chest as I let go. Blood spurted from the gaping torn hole, a dark crimson streak marred the once pretty white carpet.
Howling in pain once again I staggered backwards once more and landed on the bed. Rolling to my right I reached down under the bed and withdrew the sword.
Turning I came up with both hands on the hilt and waiting. As he jumped up, he roared something and charged. It was now or never. I was bleeding badly in the chest, Bruce was dead and there wasn't anyone else to help me here. The pain in my chest made it hard to breath, the burning didn't seem to stop.
My right arm was shaking so badly I wasn't sure how much longer I could hold this hilt steady, but I didn't have a long wait. Time seemed to slow to a crawl like some freak action movie. Pulling the sword back to my left, high over my shoulder, I swung with all my might. I watched the blade moving, inch by inch until His neck came into view. No time to blink, think or close my eyes, the blade sank into the side of his neck. Still on the momentum it was in, it continued it's path through bone, sinew and finally spinal cord before slicing it's way out the other side.
Blood splattered my face, my mind taking in the knowledge someone had fed it to him to make him as he was.
His eyes sightless, but still raging mad watched me as they tumbled end over end towards the floor. A dull thunk was heard, almost wet in sound as it made connection with the carpet and rolled. His body plowed into me, the sword high over his shoulder, sticking straight up in the air.
But my eyes were on his. Down to my left side, sitting on the floor, watching me from his upside down position. Unseeing, his mouth agape, his skin pastey white, staring at me. Accusingly staring.
I shook myself out of it, breaking eye contact and pushing off the dead weight of his body. Trembling as I rose, I glanced around at the room, or what was left of the room. Blood coated everything. From one side to the other. sword in one hand, the other hurting to badly to use, I wiped the sword on the bed's spread and moved towards the doorway.
I gathered my keys to my rental, the sword and my personal things, which was just a suitcase and headed out the door. I didn't look at the ashes of Bruce on the mainroom floors. I didn't want to stay a second longer.
Sitting in my rental, I tore a piece of material off of my shirt and tied it as best I could around my shoulder. I needed a safe haven to sleep, somewhere protected better than this. And I needed to find out just who was out to kill me. Was it a stranger? Was it Willow and his goons?? No, that didn't make sense. Willow wanted money. With me dead, he didn't get his money.
There was a new boy in town, wanting to rumble with me and who knew who else he wanted. Hard ball time.
My eyes narrowed slightly, even in pain I could think clearly. Two could play his game. I just find him or her and make a few blood slaves of my own. See if he or she can sleep at night now? Little piss ant fuckers!
"Son-of-a-bitch!!" I groaned in pain, my eyes closing momentarily as I gasped for air. First a room, then revenge.
Starting the car I left the parking garage and headed to a different part of Paris.

Aria

My eyes popped open after a few minutes. I was getting nothing of importance from Willow just yet. What ever he was saying I just couldn't hone in on and the scenary going by, he wasn't looking at.
He was close to Lance, or so I thought, but still nothing to help me. Frustrated and sick feeling I sat there just breathing in and out to calm my stomach.
I just needed something helpful dammit! Shaking my head, I closed my eyes and cleared my mind. I was getting bits and pieces, but it still wasn't coming to me as easily as I would have hoped.
Rising from the floor, I moved towards the livingroom and paused. Something was nagging my mind, but what?! I sat back down and chewed my lower lip as I thought. A dirt road, riding in something, talking to that ugly beast.. but what was it that kept nagging the foggy corners of my brain?
I had to try again, just once more. Closing my eyes, I again concentrated on Willow. His face, his cruel smile, the beach and his bargain. Slowly things began to fall away as I heard him whisper something in his mind about killing someone.. Who?
I could see through his eyes as he watched this hulking beast slowly slump along, towards something?
But who was the target?! And where?

The Pallisade

A fragment of a memory....We waited in the hotel....A place discovered and frequently used in better days now past....A place that catered to the needs and whims of "our kind", supplying all sorts of amusement and needs without question or comment...

We waited and the numbers grew....my tastes had turned to pretty young woman for my bloodslaves, innocent in appearance...beguiling in face and body...and deceiving in thought and deadly attention...

If one failed....more were needed...and why send them to her on her terms...when I knew where she would run to...a place that was shared by her and I as a safe haven....

The thought made me laugh out loud as I held the latest of my new slaves in my lap and bounced into her flesh....I had found an amusement to my liking...as I drove myself into her body and laughed again


She was coming...and so was my prey....One would arrive before the other....both I would have in the flesh....

Sitting at the light I glanced up as the siren's went screaming by me on the other side of the road. Glancing up into my rear view mirror, I watched as two polive officers jumped out of their cruiser and ran into the hotel.
The mess had been discovered, Fuck! A horn honked behind me and I glanced up at the green light. I needed to find a safer place to rest and quickly. Pushing on the accellerator I calmly drove off to a poorer section of the city.
I had the room in Bruce's name, not my own.. but still.. Would my finger prints register? I was an american, could they find out anything about me over here? Who knew?
Shoulder hurting and still seeping a little blood, I could barely maintain control of the wheel as I drove. So knowing I couldn't go much further I picked the first rat trap I found to rent.
Making up a fake name, I paid cash for the room and got myself inside the single room. Placing my bag on the bed, i went back out and retrieved the sword. Locking up the car, I went inside and shoved the heavy wooden chair against the door.
Locking all the dead bolts and chains, Shutting the curtains and checking the room for any other means of entry, I crawled into the bed and lay down. I needed to get up some strength then find a doctor to take care of this wound if it wasn't healed soon.
I was grateful as hell I had drained the kid earlier, it gave me enough to regenerate some.
Granted I would have to feed again and soon, I pulled out my cell and dialed Willow. Getting no answer I left a voice mail for him to call me, I had moved.
Still afraid to sleep, I lay staring at the window and listening to everything around me. Just a little more time. I tried calling Vlad once again and still did not get an answer.
"What the hell!?" I was annoyed but in too much pain to do anything about it. So again I left a voice mail.
"Call me when you get this." Hanging up, there was little to do now but wait until I was able to move again.

Bits and pieces began to flash in my mind. Little bits of knowledge. Random thoughts Willow was thinking... All clues to what I needed to know.
I felt the elation come over me as I began to sink deeper and deeper into his mind, finding out more and more things. Filtering through.......
"Erika!" It whispered past my lips as I watched, no listened to his conversation with her. I heard her name, knew she paid him. Then the vision jumped again, this time to some stranger's face. A guy, he was ordering to do something.
Then the road flashed again and the beast. His satisfaction in knowing he was going to kill Lance and take from him.. who knew what?
I felt my temper boil as I heard his mind echoing the words in his own mind, we're idiots huh? That little bastard! Where was he going next? Where was he headed?
The ruins began to flash in my mind, the sight in my mind was one of a man laying in the center of the ruins. on his side almost on his stomach. Walking up to him, my hand reached out to turn him over.. To see his face. The scent of blood hung in the air as did the deathly silence. Kneeling down, I reached out and took his shoulder in my hand. He was limp and easily fell over. Gasping I jumped back as I stared down at the unseeing eyes of lance... He was dead..Screaming I jerked back from the vision and fell backwards on the mat on my ass.
Jumping up I called out to maggie, "I know where he is!" The ruins were a little over 40 minutes away, was it enough time? No idea, but that's where I was going. And hell if I drove fast enough I could get there in time! I felt tears on my face as I ran towards the van. I couldn't let that happen.. I had to get there before this vision came true.
"Maggie! Watch Micheal please?!" Turning over the engine I threw it into reverse and called out once more.
"Pack our things, we're out of here as soon as I got Lance!" She nodded and I hit the accellerator. Fuck the wooden door/garage door. Bursting through it, I flipped around and headed towards the main road. The other direction would take me the back way to those ruins.
Heart thumping in my chest, I knew I had to hurry before they actually did kill Lance.
