Woven Rings Of Destiny ( Continuation of The Family)

[BLACK BART]

Joseph

"Then you shall have what we both want...and need"

Her hand guiding my swollen shaft I pressed it to her swollen, slick lips below and thrust...In one long, hard push I entered, her hand sliding away to imbed her nails in my back....and I buried the length in her slick canal...

Buried it and then pulled back...and thrust harder a second time, then a third...and into a series of pounding, near punishing strokes that would crush a mortal womans hips...but only made Erika growl deep in her throat with pleasure.

No need to ask if I were as well "embodied" as the "other" Joseph....Her continual growls urged me on and assured me she was satisfied with the shaft in her....I pulled my lips from hers and pressed them to her neck, finding the vein that pulsed wildly with lust and her blood...my blood, so recently mixed together to heal her.

Another groan from Erika...almost a howl and I smiled wickedly...A second time she was rising to her peak...and this time I waited for it..to rise to my own and take some of the blood back I so recently gave her...

"Fuck me....HARD"

She growled into my ear and I increased my savage thrusts, each driving the breath from her as our bodies flattened against each other and pulled back, each bringing us one step closer to her orgasm....

"Yessssssssssssssss"

She howled this time and I bared my fangs, pressing thru the soft skin of her neck, sensing the time was here....her warm, salty, rich blood flowing into my mouth as our hips pounded into each other in a frenzy of passion....

 

[Sweetp4u]

Erika

We defiantely did not waste any time, infact this was one of the fastest liasons I have ever had before. It turned me on, his agressive behavior. Only in bed did a man get to push me around, something about the circumstances made me ache.
Grinding, I felt every inch of my body jar with his hard pounding thrusts.
Like an animal I growled in pleasure, cooing and moaning time and time again. He was built perfectly, almost too large but definately nice and filling for me.
Nails scored his back as he beat against me, My head falling backwards on my shoulders as he nibbled up my neck.
Panting, I could barely catch my breath to groan out. It wasn't a voluntary moaning, it was ripped from me as the only outlet for the intense force we fucked.
walls squeezed and clenched down on his shaft, milking him as my orgasm tore through me. Crying out, my nails bit into his skin enough to draw blood. Little cresent shaped marks would be there until he healed completely. I almost wished they would remain there with him for life. It made me cum harder thinking about him wearing my mark.
completely spent I limply melted against him, I felt his teeth sink into my neck, his mouth suckling blood from me and I climaxed once more. no more to give, I gasped for air and trembled under him.

"Blood for blood, memories are shared. A link is made, a soul is bared"

The thought passed as I drew into me Erika's blood and with it a part of her...Memories...and her eternal soul....I took no more than I needed as I continued to drive into her body, my mind reaching into hers and stimulating her erotic center once more...Causing the relaxed nerve core to go into overdrive a third time and create a final huge eruption...

My length drove in and out of her and I could feel her responding, her eyes opening in surprise as I brought her passion from it's slumber and her body replied...and her body arched underneath mine again....

A short few minutes later we lay beside each other...and I knew the link was there...There was no need to speak, I could feel her thoughts, all her thoughts...this close...

But old human habits.....

"We are partners then, Erika? We both have the same goals...And our wants and needs match quite pleasantly as well....."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Erika

Stunned speachless by the number of times he drove me over that precipe of pleasure, I could only nod my sweaty sticky head in confirmation.
"P-partners." groaning I rolled on the bed, flat on my back and just gazed at the ceiling as everything started to calm down. even my eye sight was spinning.
Smiling, I licked my lips and closed my eyes as the numbness set in and I felt like I was floating off somewhere.
I knew I needed to plan and get things done, but at the moment I was content right here.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

I turned to Maggie, her face white and wet from her tears. I said nothing at first, the lump in my own throat hard to swallow.
"You did all you could, don't blame yourself." I gave her a big hug and stepped back away.
"I do need sleep, there is a house in the out skirts of paris Joseph and I own, we'll go there." I turned and loaded up the last of our things into the back of the van.
This place would soon be discovered, it was best to leave now.
Halting in my tracks I thought of something I hadn't thought of before.
Lance's destiny was in that book, he would not die until that book was destroyed.... So where was he? If he was brought back where he needed to be perhaps he would be dumped where ever they were? or somewhere else entirely? Who knew, but being close to Erika, and where the book and my boy were going was the best bet.
"We'll find lance there, hopefully.." I climbed into the back of the van and stretched out on the back seat. I had retrieved the weapons from the training room, some water and the rings. A few blankets and pillows as well, that van seat was fuckin' hard!
"Maggie, drive us to Paris, when we get there wake me up for directions. please?"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Erika

Night was fully descended upon the town, it was time. Rising from the bed, I slipped quietly back into my clothes. My arm completely healed and feeling much better, I glanced around for my dagger sling. Picking it up, I gazed down into the dark pools of 'Joseph's' eyes.
"It is time for me to go, I have a meeting." Nothing more needed to be said, I never did answer anyone.
"We will meet again, Once my men deliver my packages, I will return." I slipped on my boots, straightened up and combed out my long dark hair.
I couldn't use a mirror, but I knew I looked good enough to be traveling to my room. Once I contacted Willow, Micheal delivered.. Things were looking up for me.
Vlad or no Vlad, I was heading on my own way up. Grinning with the knowledge of what was in the book, I couldn't contain my excitement.
Once I sat down and opened the book, things would come to me without trying. Without a backwards glance I walked out of his room and past his goons. Not bothering to even look at them, I made my way to my own room.
I would call Willow to make sure he delivered Micheal in a timely fashion, move locations before that Twit and her gang arrived. Success was mine, I could smell it!
Entering my own rooms, I checked for unwanted 'guests' and put my daggers under my pillow.
I needed rest before dawn approached.

 

[BLACK BART]

Joseph

Erika rose and left...The short message she gave me inferring she didn't normally try to explain to anyone...It was enough...She said we would meet later, the partnership was in effect then...and the link we now both had was as well.

I rose and ordered the sword be brought to me...The sword that was once mine...and was now again, a sword strong in symbol...but not in power. It felt familiar and good as I spun it with two hands, enjoying its feel and the hum it made as it moved faster and faster in my hands. I needed it to be as familiar as my body, for when I met Aria again...

I no longer needed to track Aria or Erika...I was still linked to the first...and newly joined to the other...And knew time was bringing all events full circle...I needed only to sit in the middle and watch the circle shrink...

 

[Shoty98]

Maggie

Aria's hug and her kind words helped little to reassure me. I knew that I could have done something more if I had lived differently over the last two years. But the was nothing I could do now to change that.
I let the thoughts pass as I climbed in the van, fired it up and headed back out toward the main road. Back to Paris, and finding Michael.
On the road and headed for Paris I rolled down the window and let the cool evening air wash over my face. It felt so wonderful and claming. Ray and Aria slept on through the drive and I watched each little star appear in the night sky.
My thoughts turned to the task at hand, and I tried to imagine what Aria would teach me. At this moment I was welcoming anything that would make me less weak and stupid. I sighed, there was no sence in thinking like that, it would do little good.
My eyes watched the road and glanced out the surrounding area every now and then. I was a little nervous that something would happen, but the feeling that we were being followed had lessened considerably since Michael had been taken.
A couple of hours later the dark shadows and the silver moolight were disrupted by the lights of Paris rising over the horizen. A long sigh passed my lips "Aria, we are to Paris, I need directions to the house now." I spoke softly, knowing she could hear me and waited for instructions.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

I heard her softly whispered comment. Sitting up I glanced around the area.
"Down past the old deli, take a left then three blocks down on the right is an Old Theater in the heart of Paris. That's where we are headed." I climbed into the passenger seat, Ray still sleeping peacefully behind us undisturbed.
"He's healing finally, but slowly. He needs to feed as do you and I both. We'll work on that once we get to the Theater and get unpacked. Sound good?" I turned and glanced at Maggie, her features drawn still. That shadowed look in her eyes.
"Don't be putting yourself down for what happened. You were protecting him. None of us knew they had a secondary way inside." I patted her thigh and turned back to the window, watching the night life move around unknowingly luring the vampires out to feed.
"Turn here." She turned and we kept going, my eyes taking in the street walkers, hustlers and the other oddities out this time of night. One guy had a full body tattoo and piercings all over the place, he would be lacking much blood thanks to all that. A joke, but I didn't smile.
"Here, wait." She stopped the van and I fished through my bag, pulling out a remote. Hitting the right numbers for this location the underground garage door began to open.
"Pull down inside there, we're here." I turned around in the seat and shook Ray, "Time to wake up, we're here." The van slowly pulled down into the inky blackness and parked.
As I said before, being a vampire had it's quirks. Glancing around, I knew this place so far was unfound by the enemy.
It would work.... For now.

 

[poohlive]

"So, how exactly are we going to get this shit done?"
Willow's features were drawn in the poor lightening. He looked as if the curse running through his veins had stopped working if but for just a moment. Age's lines and wrinkles, eternity's grasp had caught up to him, and he was an old man with terrific hair standing inside this poor excuse for a hotel.
Someone stood out from the light though, and with this, his features came back. They bounced, one might say, bringing him back to the present. Willow's eyes glowed with a kind of insanity that one could only see on wild dogs.
"I've got a plan," he said, standing up. He drew himself out long and hard for this one. Hours were spent in the van covering things up, making sure that every detail was accounted for.
That's how Willow was, he was a detail man. Born and raised in America, he felt like he needed control and respect over everything. It was one of the few little quirks that come with that red white and blue. God bless the stars and stripes, and the little perfectionist children that came from it.
Even if they used this little gift for evil purposes, it's still worth it. Who cares who gets stepped on anyway, so long as the end is met.
Willow explained to his men the plan. He hadn't gotten this far to be fucked over by some little bitch with a bank account now. Money wasn't the only thing that gave someone power, having a plan was just as good.
The red white and blue, perfectionistic greedy bastards. God bless the U.S.A.
"We'll go up to the Center first. Set upa drop off for our money and the little bundles we have. How is the brat?"
One of the men had his ear propped to the bathroom door. He gave a thumbs up. Willow gave a quick nod.
"Let him get some rest, everyone has a lot to do tonight, and I want everyone rested and ready."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

Stepping out of the van, I hit the remote button and shut the door behind us. Hitting another button I turned on the lazers.
"The alarm system is running, don't open a window or outside door without shutting it off first." It was for their safety as well as my own, they could handle the simple rule.
Turning, I walked behind the dark green van and popped the back door up. Taking out a few bags, I headed for the stairs leading up.
"This way." This was one of my favorite locations we had owned together. This place was set up like an oriental style home in China. Hard wood glisening floors, rugs of all designs, soft silk tapestries and sheer curtains. Beds were on the floors, soft goose feather matresses. Everything from kitchen to bedroom was in the style of the orient. Well except for the bathrooms. Those were and would remain american style. Some french, but normal.
Walking up the stairs, I punched in my access code and hit a few extra buttons to change it. Once the code was changed, I had an added sense of security. I didn't know how they knew or what they could find out, but I wasn't taking chances with this.
Opening the door I set my things down on the floor entry way and slipped off my shoes. Picking back up the bags, I walked silently through the flat turning on various well placed lamps. Covered in an array of colors they gave this place a 'glow' of sorts. It was sensual, homey and relaxing as well. Depending on mood of the one sitting in here.
Opening the bamboo doors widely, I stepped into the training room and set down the weapons. Turning I headed just to the next room and opened the master bedroom doors.
"On the other side of the training room is another large guest bedroom. You two can stay there if you like?" I walked into the room and gazed at the bed. A tear falling down my cheek as I turned away from the bed.
Thinking of Joseph always would cause pain in my body, but I wouldn't sell everything we owned just to escape the memories, I doubted there was an escape for those memories.
I walked back out and down the stairs, grabbing more supplies from the back of the van. I wouldn't think about Joseph, or think about Lance. Again I felt a deep pain inside my heart. This was just all fucked up, the entire situation. Growling in my throat I turned and threw a dagger at the nearest thing so great was my anger. The tip embedded into the door way just as Maggie walked back out the door.
"Sorry." I turned, gathered more items and headed inside. I paused when something dropped to the floor. Kicking it out of my walk way I glanced down at the soft thing.
A teddy bear.
One of Micheal's favorites.
Suck it up Aria.
I tore my gaze from the teddy bear and headed back inside. Walking past Maggie I pointed out, "There is just a few bags left in the van." I walked up the stairs and stopped by Ray.
"You need to feed Ray, if I give you some cash will you pick up some things for me as well?"

 

[nightray]

Ray

I look at Aria as she asks if I would go get some stuff for her. I smile weekly and I take the list glancing at it. I stand saying “ok I’ll go do some air ends for yaw and feed as well.” I tern my back as she holds out a credit card for me to use. I look over my shoulder at it asking “do you think I’m broke?” I cock a questioning eyebrow at her. I then chuckle and walk out to the door stopping when I remember I need to tern off the security system to get out.

I look over my shoulder calling “Tern off the surety so I can get out.” I turn as I hear a click as the door is unlocked remotely. I walk out side still moving slowly with my weakness. I walk out to the streets looking arund getting my bearings. I then tern in the direction of one of the best weapons shops in the world if it’s still open that is last time I was there was fifty years ago.

I walk down threw the streets looking for the weapons shop. Finely after a half hour or so I finely find it. I reed the sine smiling good it’s still in the families name the weapons shall be of quality then. I walk up to the door smiling as I see that they just opined. I walk in looking arund at all the swords daggers nonchuckes any thing and every thing one would need for any of the marshal arts. I walk arund the walls and in and out of the isles of weapons looking taking note of what they have and what we shall need.

I walk up to the clerk smiling as I recognize the man from when he was still a boy looking up to his father with grate respect. I hand him the list of weapons and I tell till him I had some extra things that I would like and that I think Maggie may like as well. I give the man the address and a large wad of cash saying “I want all of it delivered ASAP.” He nodes and moves to the back to pack up all the stuff that I asked for.

I look arund some more touching the hilts of some exquisitely made swords this family still makes them the old fashioned way making them stronger and more deribal then the once mad in factories. I walk out the door before I’m tempted to buy up the in tire store to ad to my collection. I look arund at the streets being lit by the morning sun.

I close my eyes sending “Aria the delivery man will be there in a copal hours with the weapons so be reedy to open the door incase I’m not back bye then.” I open my eyes and tern down the street looking for a nice meal to start replenishing my blood and energy. I walk down an ally looking for an ezy target to get me started. I come to a man sleeping the back door of a pub. I smile and lean down over him. I pick him up and bite in to his neck drinking deeply struggling with my self not to kill not this one any way. I let the man fall back to the street pale from blood lose but still breathing. I heal the wounds in his thought and stand smiling as I feel my access and pains fading rapidly.

I walk out to the street a new bounce in my stride as I walk along looking for a fight and some humans who I can drain completely. I move deeper in to the bad part of town moving in to the dark street where the sun only shown when it was strait over head. Moving like a hunting cat grace fully and agily avoiding the filth in the streets. The occasional stray dog come running at me baring. I just look at them forcing my mind on theirs and they tern with there tales behind ether legs whimpering back where they came from.

I walk for another hour or so before a gang of men step out around me holding knifes chances and a copal guns. I smile softly standing perfectly still as the leader approaches me demanding money. I curl my lip in contempt and move fast seeming to disappear. I com up be hide one with a gun. I step up and bite in to his neck my hand covering his lips as the rest of his friend look arund confused. I suck deeply draining him to the point of death quickly. I snap his neck letting the sound echo in the confined space. His friends tern in time to see him dropping to the ground but they don’t see me. I move around to the other gun holder this time I drag him in to the darkness so I can saver his blood more fully then his friends.

I bite in to his neck growling softly with excitement as the ecstasy of feeding fills my mind. The rushing of blood in my vainness pounding in my head as I lesson to his heart bet slowing as his struggles lesson. I stop right before the brink of death letting his body drop to the ground. I chuckle loud enough for his friends to hear me as I pick up his gun and throw it to the roofs above. I then fade in to the shadows moving up the wall my fingers finding small cracks to hang on to as I clime looking down. I rich the roof looking down. I smile thinking that was fun, I wont kill them all now I may want to feed on them agene.” I tern and start running across the roof tops enjoying the energy pulsing threw my Vance.

I stop suddenly cocking my head slightly my nose sniffing at the air. I growl dam it some one is fallowing me. I shrug good thing I wasn’t going strait back to Aria’s plays. I com to an ally and drop four stories down to the ground below. I look arund and move quickly to an open door. I slip in side soundlessly watching the ally where I dropped form. Two men drop down looking arund growling to echother trying to figger out where I went to. I tern and move silently deeper in to the building looking arund until I find an exit to another ally. I stop just in side my mind probing and my ears and nose open wide. I smile as I her movement coming from behind me “so one of the morons fond the open door.” I move a side room staying in the shadows not breathing as I watch the man walk out to the ally. He calls “his not in her ether dam it we lost the fuck.”

I stay where I’m at for a few more minutes before moving out side staying in the shadows as I look arund with my eye’s and my mind. I move threw the allies staying out of sight as I com up to are new hiding spot. I send “I’m back Aria open the back door and let me in.”

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

The delivery was made thirty minutes after Ra had left. I quietly thanked the guy for bringing it to me and tipped him generously.
"Maggie? Will you come help unload these crates please?"
I stood up and found a hammer when I heard Ray.
Hitting the remote I opened the door for him, watching him stride inside, healed and confident once again.
Smiling, I longed to hug him in thanks but knew it was wise not to. I pulled off lid after lid and glanced inside.
"Thank you, everything is here and then some apparently.."
Smiling, I pulled out a engraved Kitana.
"This is perfection, I love weapons made the old ways.. Come see this Maggie!" I turned and produced the Kitana.
"Now for training.. This should be a mountain of fun. Go change into something flexible and loose. Ray you too please. It's time Maggie learned what she is capable of." I turned and set the sword down, heading off into my own room.
"Ray lock the door again please!" I called out as I walked through the master bedroom. The closets were loaded with my things, always had things on hand. Joseph loved to spoil me.
I sighed heavily, I wouldn't think on that right now.
Changing I walked out my door and into the training room.

 

[Shoty98]

Maggie

I took in the beauty of the weapon Aria held in her hands, pondered what kind of damage it would do, all while Aria explained it was training time.
Turning on my heel i made my way to the spare room and began digging through my suitcase trying to find something suitable. Moments later, with a sigh of frustration I finally produced a pair of black cotton boxer shorts and a tight fitting white tank.
Once I was adorned in my attire I searched for my running shoe and a pair of socks. All I could think about at the moment was what this training would intale and what exactly Aria was talking about when she said it was time I learned what I was capable of. Was there more than what I was aware of? I wasnt sure at all. I shrugged and tied off the last shoe laces and bounded back out of the room.
My heart was fluttering slightly in my chest as I looked over the things that Aria and I had unloaded.
"Alright Aria I am ready....do your worst." I chuckled and went back to my inspection.

 

[The GrandMage]

Joe

Clouds swirled as he ascended to the top of the small rock outcropping. He starred up at the sky as the ominous signal began. Darkening the skies. Without word, a torrent of rain began, as if instantly. Lightening flared, the sound deafening as it struck. His eye turned, and he shifted, rolling his shoulders. It was an awesome change. A mere begger to some, who scrounged, feeding at the outskirts of society. Standing tall now, eyes ablaze with a life not his own. Memories locked in a bond made long ago swept away around what had been. Locking it away. A mere spectator now to was was open. Power flooded the old frame. In any other, the power would be enough to be near physical. But the body was torn, weak. But it held. And now, it was stronger. The disease was held by the power, and he breathed deep in through his nostrils.

"I know you're there. I don't know who you think you are, or what you think you're doing, but prepare thineself. For I want back that which is mine. And none shall stand in my way."

With a last dark look to the horizon, he turned, and made his way against the harsh wind and driving rain to the grassy field that would start his journey. "So far, yet not so far at all,...."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

There was no quarter in my gaze and no nice smile as I tossed Maggie the sword.
"ready?"
I didn't give her a chance to speak, I moved with lightening quick speed and came up behind her.
Grabbing her by the waist I threw her across the room. She came down on her back on the blue mat.
"Always be prepared for the worst." I smirked a little at her shocked expression.
I would do her no favors playing nicely for the first attack.
Grabbing a sword of my own I advanced on her, swinging it wildly from corner to corner.
As she rose from her feet, poised and ready, I knocked the sword out of her hand.
Pausing I waited for her to say something.
"You have speed. You have strength. You have cunningness. use it Mags. Get the sword, come at me." I waited once more.

 

[Shoty98]

Maggie

I stood there for a moment trying to catch my breath and reguarding her with raised eyebrow.
"I am supposing this is how you were trained....good grief...."
Anger built inside me, not for her but for my lack of knowledge. This was the only way to fix that and I knew it, so I leaned down, never taking my eyes off of my opponent, and picked up the sword.
"Speed strength and cunningness? Right?" I looked at the sword in my grasp and then to Aria. Ok I had seen movies, watched her just now, it couldn't be that hard.
Taking a deep breath I swung the sword as I had seen her do, it came easily and the sword was as light as air. I moved forward quickly and swung at her sword in an attempt to relieve her of it. When that did not work I stepped back quickly, anticipating a her retaliation, then came back again faster....

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

Everywhere her sword went to hit or strike, mine was there to tap away or block. Faster and faster we moved until she finally moved an opposit direction and sliced my hand.
Jumping back, I suckled the cut and grinned, "Very good. I just wanted to see how long it would take you to find a hole."
I tossed my sword across the room and indicated her to do the same.
"We need to stretch out for this next exercise. We're going to show you, your strength and the speed in which you can move unarmed. That alone is an asset. Well against humans, vampires can move better than humans and many faster than you. The older you are the longer you have to learn these arts."
The cut was healed as I began stretching, my hands over my head, I heard someone move behind me ever so slightly. Jumping up, I turned and landed on a beam over head.
It was Ray. I gave him a nasty little look and stuck my tongue out at him. Then burst out laughing.
"You almost had me. Go sit and be nice til we need a big boy like yourself." Jumping back down, I landed with hardly a sound.
"You can use the shadows to aid you, the wind to carry you. If you want it bad enough."
I began stretching out my legs as I watched Maggie mimic me.
"The ancient ones are stronger because they keep their asses out of the sun. At all costs. The moon and blood is what makes us stronger.. I turned and tossed her a set of daggers. Choosing to remain unarmed, I cocked my finger at her.
"Attack me. But do it when you are ready. I will stand here and wait, you move around, but try sneaking up on me for an attack instead of when i know you are coming."

 

[poohlive]

On the skirts of town, ancient buildings stood to show the test of time. Their rusted out skeletal remains showing through cement and rotted out plaster. It was a cemetery of iron they now trodded through. With the company they were presently in, it suited them just fine.
Willow called out to everyone, cut the engines and the excess chatter, it was time for some serious shit.
"If you keep yours heads in the game," he hissed, "You all might just live long enough to spend your share."
He dialed the number.
"Hiya Erika. Didn't mean to wake you, we're on the outskirts of town right now, and have got all the little presents here for you, gift wrapped and everything. Wanna come take a look?"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Erika

The annoying sound of the cell phone woke me, "hello?"
It was Willow and his words made me smile brightly.
"I'll be right there, with your money." I jumped out of bed and grinned, dressing in record time.
Picking up the phone I dialed "J's" Number to his room.
"I am heading to the graveyard, pick up something I've been waiting for, mind sending a few guards with me?"
I had instructions from Willow to get there, I had a few guards following me. Now to go to the bank and withdrawl the money. No better yet, a Cheque would be best.
Throwing on my shoes, I grabbed my daggers and strapped them to my back. Tossing on a duster and sunglasses I headed outside.
It didn't take long to get what I needed, the cheque at the bank "cash" was simple enough. Anyone could cash it. No signature on it, it would wait for whatever Willow wanted.
Folding the cheque I placed it in my breast pocket and hailed a taxi.
Almost there, Almost to success. I smiled, a cold unfeeling smile, but I didn't notice.
"Here driver." I paid the man and climbed out. Glancing around and listening I didn't hear anything abnormal, but that didn't mean anything wasn't up.
I picked my way through the tombstones, until I spotted Willow.
"Hi there, we meet again." I smiled, a genuine happy smile.
"I have your 10 million right here in my pocket. Three for the job, five for the boy, and two as gratitude. Do you have Micheal?" Willow appeared to be alone but slowly others began to melt out of no where and join him. Cautious group, smart and probably what keeps them alive.
I felt something inside and glanced around, reenforcements have arrived. All I had to do was point. This J fellow worked quickly, made me smile a little. They weren't needed unless Willow tried to fuck me out of the agreement.
The greedy looks in their eyes was indication enough that they wanted the money more than anything else, so perhaps I had a bargaining tool after all?

 

[The GrandMage]

Ol' Joe

He stopped, making people walk around him. Close now. He was in some town, someplace. Where he was was only important in relation to where his prey was. He grinned, a gap-toothed, yellowing smile. He ran a hand through his greasy hair, and had someone place some money in his hand while they said something about his poor soul.

He refused to take it. "Sorry, but I've got a life waiting for me to return to it." He smiled again, and started moving again. Hios mind kept saying the same thing, over and over: kill, kill, kill, kill, kill....

 

[Shoty98]

Maggie

Thoroughly stretched and more knowledgable than I had been before I took a deep breath.
"Alright..." I whispered. I had a look of concern on my face as I thought about what she wanted me to do. Attack her when she least expects it. Was that even possible?
I shrugged away the question and began to move around the room. How fast could I really move? Now this was going to be fun.
Standing near Ray I looked down at him, to Aria and back again. he gave me no advice here only a wink. My shoulders shook with silent mirth as I thought for a moment what I could do and stopped it short, wanting to slap myself, for hell's sake this wasn't rocket science.
Quiet as a mouse I crept around and behind her, taking shallow breaths and light footsteps. I lunged at her from behind, trying to grab her and the next thing I knew a hard expulsed breath was being pushed from my lungs. I looked up into Aria's smiling face and gasped for a breath.
She just shook her head at me giving me that look that clearly said 'stop being a pansy'. She helped me to my feet and told me to try again. I grunted with frustration, the anger was building inside me, how could I not be able to do this?
I put all of those questions out of my mind and thought of just moving like the wind, swift and silent.
I jumped like I had never jumped before, landing softly on a rafter above. It was the most exhilerating feeling as I moved swiftly over the rafters, feeling dizzy with the momentum and enjoying the freedom.
Watching Aria's position as I moved wasn't as difficult as I thought it would be. I kept watching and moving until I reached the opposite side of the room and jumped down. When no sound came from my feet I grinned and began to approach her once more.
Maybe this time was the thought that crossed y mind as I set off into a round of handsprings until I reached her. On the last one I crouched low to the ground and swung my leg around, conecting with the back of hers and sending her to the floor....

Aria

I had to hand it to her, she got me. I lay there on my back, not sure if I should cuss or laugh.
She got me! Damn, it was good to train. Flipping over, I jumped back up to my feet and to a beam above the floor.
"Alright, there ya go.. Now let's try harder." I grabbed my daggers out of their hidden shelths and grinned, "To arms!" Loved that cheesy british saying.
Jumping down I landed just behind her, My dagger held point between her shoulder blades.
Grinning, I waited for her next move.
"Ok, I'm waiting.. Some big hairy smelling guy is behind you threatening rape or some lame human shit, armed.. Take him down. though do be a dear and dont break my nails.." Chuckling, I waited.

Willow merely blinked once as something got caught in his eye. There was a small breeze coming in from the north. It was a cold breeze, something that chilled someone to the bone, but it was a good breeze to.
For Willow, the colder it was, the more it comforted him. That chill that sped up his spine fed him strength instead of sapping it from him. He stood there, in the winding cold, looking out at the caravan coming for the boy and the book.
He wondered which one she wanted the most, but with one glance, he knew. Why did she still care about the book? Last time he checked, that heel she was working for was either dead or M.I.A.
She must have had her reasons though, and he commended her for them. Women liked to keep little things to remind them; books, children, whatever. It was a good asset to exploit if one knew how to do it.
Willow knew a lot of things.
He nodded, and someone let the child go. The little one was walking towards her with the book in his hands. It looked like a monolith as he carried it. Almost cute if one thought of that sort of thing as cute.
Willow walked right behind him.
"So glad doing business with you," he said thoughtfully. In truth, this would easily have been the best and most rewarding job he had ever done. Nothing wrong with the fruits of his labor, after all.

Erika

I smiled as I watched the little cherub face of Micheal come towards me. He looked so much like his dear departed daddy. This was a pleasure all in it's self.
"God, I love being me some days.." I chuckled, "Come here Micheal." He came towards me, fear in his eyes, a little frightened.
"It's alright hun, I know your mommy.. She asked me to take care of you." The lies rolled off my lips so smoothly, it was easy and he was so sweet and so trusting.
I met Willow's gaze and reached into my pocket, pulling out the blank cheque.
"Ten Million, all your's and perhaps another job shortly? But first I want to get this dear sweet little boy home safe and sound.. Well his new home." Willow took the cheque and I picked up Micheal. My eyes fell on the book, a questioning glance to him.
"The other is a fake?" I felt steamed but I knew Willow hadn't decieved me, it was Lance.
"I trust you will, for the right price, finish off the damned family won't you?" I smiled, placing Micheal on my hip and snuggling the little darling to my body.
"Aunty Erika is going to make all your dreams come true." He stared up at me with those big blue eyes of his, yes he looked exactly like his father.
