Woven Rings Of Destiny ( Continuation of The Family)

[Shoty98]

Maggie

The cool floor caressed the side of my face, my gaze set on the only wall I could see. I panted and struggled for each breath until I could finally fill my lungs fully. Nothing felt broken, but it sure hurt like hell.

"We are going to have a little chat. Each time you lie to me, or say anyting other than what I ask, I will tear off an appendage. We'll start with the arms, and then the legs, and finally that pretty little head of yours. First, you said you didn't know where the page was, is that true?"

Holding back the tears of pain I listened carefully to his words. I wanted to laugh at him, he had picked the wrong person if he wanted valuable information.

Hearing a woman's voice made me pause for a moment, I couldn't see so I didn't know who she was talking too, but I assumed it was Ray. I ground my teeth together as he pulled a little harder, emphasizing his demand for an answer.

"Yes..you fuck!" I hissed through clenched teeth. He had no reply only pulled on my hand until there was a pop and an audible sound of flesh tearing. I could not hold it back and cried out in pain. Ok that was the stupisest thing I had ever done.

"You want me to finish it off?"

His tone was so impatiemt I knew he was not kidding and would in fact pull my arm off in a second. I bit down on my bottom lip and inhaled sharply, my heart pounding in my chest and fear coursing through me. "No I don't." I sqeaked out.

"Very good then. Now tell me where your next destination was. If you don't understand that it means where were you going next."

I nearly cried out once more as he began pulling again, reminding me of what he would do. Like I could forget. "I don't know where we were going other than here."

"You sure about that?"

"YES DAMMIT!" I nearly yelled.

For a moment I wondered where Ray and Aria were and why they were not helping...

He took his foot off of her for a second. Just in time so he could bring his knee down square on her back. He leaned hard against it, not caring about the sound she was making at th is point.
"Good, I believe you," he dug his knee into her some more, bending her arm against her back, but the tension to bring it off still there. He wouldn't release that for a while yet.
"I don't think they'd tell anything that important to you. You'd probably talk if you were tortured. Who knew they'd be right?"
He leaned close to her, whispering in her ear. He brought in her scent as he lowered down to her. She smelled of sweat, but it was good and clean, made him think of a long night of passionate love.
"What's your plan sweety? Why are you looking for the last page, and fucking off half of the vampire civilization in the process. You know, a lot of people are looking for you. Just thank the sweet Lord that we got here first, otherwise you'd be nothing more than a corpse. I need to know the plan."
Rumors had been spilled through the grapevine, but he needed to know for sure. This information was very important right now, and he didn't want to fuck anything up. She might not be able to tell him where they are going, but maybe she could at least tell him what the fuck they were up to. Priest can figure out where they will go from there, and maybe even get the last page.
It was all about the page.
His knee dug into her back, pushing her even harder against the floor. Even though he wanted to be thorough, they didn't have much time. The experienced woman wouldn't be immobile for too long, and their little vixen couldn't control big boy forever.
It would be a fuck-up, they all knew that, but maybe he could pull something from the ashes.
Maybe.

Maggie

Short, shallow, raspy breaths was all I could get into my lungs beneath his weight. I made little noises of pain and frustration, but they were minimal. Between his force on my back and the intense burning in my arm, I could do little but clench my teeth and breath.

"They only tell me things when and if I need to know. You want to know the plan go talk to one of them. As for me, assuming I don't die at your hands right now, I plan to go on living...."

The smartassed comment earned me a twist of his knee in my back, twisting and pinching the delicate skin. I cried out and gasped for air. That was a big mistake, never be a smartass and never provoke someone when you can barely breath.

I felt my eyes well up with tears of pain, I wished that he would just do what he intended to do, or that Ray or Aria would come to take care of this guy. I couldn't move and even if I could have what could I do to him? Nothing was the correct answer.

"I don't have the informtion you seek...so go find it elsewhere."

 

[nightray]

Ray

Just as my eyes fall on Maggie laying on the floor under that ass hole I feel some thing hit me stopping me from moving. I snarl loudly my rage building as my mind tries to free me. My blood sister cat tot me much about getting free of these thins but I was never adept at it.

As my fingers begin to tremble slightly as the spell begins to strain under my relentless rage a woman appears in front of me kissing me deeply. My rag begins to leave as the kiss continues but as soon as her lips leave mine the rage returns redoubled and slamming agenst the spell throne by the ass on my love and the binding the bitch is trying to put on my mined. I fight her with every thing I have keeping Maggie’s image in the front of my mind using my love for her as a shield agenst the bitch in front of me.

I sneer at her not answering her question even as her mind caress mine as her hands do trying to sodus me in to betraying my love to answer her. My hands begin to tremble violently as my mind slams in to the webs holding me. The woman kisses me agene this time though I fight keeping her from draining my rage. I bit her tong hard as it slips in to my mouth tasting her blood and making her step back from me shok on her face apearenlty not expecting that I silenly thank car for training me to resist the womans charmes.

My hand moves freely now it lashes out grabing her by the trout I lift her up off of her feet and I throw her hard in to tha far wall. My eyes emditly lock on to Maggie and the fuck nealing on her back. I consintrait hard on the webs holding me from saving my love. I smile evily as I feal them beginning to gevway to my rage.

 

[The GrandMage]

Ol' Joe

A loud metallic snap sounded as they crowded around, more and more screams of death coming from the drones as they pressed in. Joseph hand snapped the old sword in two parts after twisting the point enough so the blade wouldn't slice through his hand. Now, with two halves of a sword, he cut through what was left for him.

Hacking and slicing through flesh. The crunch of breaking bones as he kickked some of his enemies away, the cries of rage as he felt them digging into him, but he never gave up.

After a while, he stood alone. He was breathing heavilly as he looked over the remains of his enemies. He walked to the whole, and slid the half of the sword that still connected to the hilt back into it's sheath, and dropped the rest of the blade.

He snarled, and took a deep breath of the scent. He was already long gone by now. But that didn't mean anything to Joe. "That's it. Now I'm pissed."

 

[poohlive]

"I had thought you to be a yearling, but you aren't even that. What use are you to them? Bait, probably. I'd say maybe a virgin for them to sacrifice to the book, but then again we both know that isn't true... is it."
At this his hand came down between her legs, cupping against her. Just a touch, nothing more. He wanted her to take home what he was saying. She was worthless, except perhaps to spread her legs.
Then again, all women were like that.
"I do want to thank you though, you've at least been honest. This is your lucky day, you even get to keep your arm."
He took out a dagger, and whispering the Lord's name to make it's aim true, lodged it deep into her back.
"Pain's incredible, right? Don't worry, you'll live. That kind of pain never goes away though, it'll come back when you least suspect it. After a hard day of work or maybe when you lay in bed at night. Think of me when it happens, won't you sweety?"
He brushed her hair aside, and kissed her cheek.
"God help you, God help us all."
With the wave of an arm everyone knew their time here was over. He could see the Shaman's spell was breaking, in another minute they'd be able to move once more.
Hopefully they'd all be blocks from here by then.
"Lana," he watched as she moved with a fast grace towards the man. His stern voice stopped her though. In her hand was a shard from a blade. She intended to take his head off.
A souvenir, he eyed the other woman who couldn't move, thinking of the same.
"Lana, no."
When she turned, he could see her face covered in blood, "The fucker bit me."
Blood came from drops out of her mouth. The look in her eyes was what scared him the most. If he hadn't stopped her, he knew there would be nothing more than pieces left of that man. At this point they needed them alive.
God help them all, they had to leave them be.
"Come on, he's waiting."
Everyone else filed back out the window. She stood there, next to him for a second, the shard still in her hand. Despite what he had said he could see it in her eyes that she was still debating what she was going to do.
"Lana, now."
She dropped the shard, spitting blood on the man, and then coming out. He saw both of them starting to stir now, as if coming out of a dream. Just in the nick of time too.
Lana got inside one of the vans, and he took shotgun on the last one. With a little more than screeching tires they were gone.
"So, what the fuck was that for?"
He looked back, bringing the hair out of his eyes. Lana didn't seem to be in a very good mood. Such a shame too, most of the time she was a princess. That guy had really made a bitch out of her.
"I just wanted to see how good they were, and get some information."
She was wiping the blood away from her face, "And..."
"Interesting," was all he said, "Very interesting."
It was a long and quiet ride back to the hotel.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

The little bastard had the balls to use force over me and pin me in my tracks. I watched helplessly as he spoke to Maggie. Chickenshit twirp knew who was the threat and picked on the untrained one. I struggled to move, straining harder and harder, weakening whatever was holding me. I would get my hands on them and kill them all!
Only the three remained, that wouldn't be too hard to wipe off the face of the earth, if I could only get free! I struggled harder to move, my body angry and tense, ready to fight. Growling obsenities under my breath, I watched still. This strange woman came up to Ray and was playing with him, but that didn't bother me in the slightest, I was more worried about my cousin than anything else.
There! I felt it! It was weakening, I could move a little. The guy knew it was weakening, he motioned everyone else out. I smirked a little with satisfaction to see the wench bleeding thanks to Ray.
Struggling harder and harder, I fell to my knees as they took off through the window. Not bothering to stop and think nor care for my own safety, I ran to the shelfs and pulled out a nine millimeter from the cupboards. Knowing it was always loaded I took off. Through the window, lept up through the hole and onto the street. Rolling out into the road, I took aim and fired. Aiming for the van's gas tank in the rear end. Standing, knees bleeding from the fall and blood boiling, I ran after them. I was catching up until a car slammed into another as the van whipped around them. Slowing down to jump the cars, I fired two more rounds. The van squealed and turned the corner, hell bent to get free. This time I aimed higher up, shooting out the back window, flattening a tire and striking someone through the seat. I stopped running, panting heavily for air as the van moved out of sight.
"Lucky.. Bastards!" I would get them eventually, it was all just a matter of time.
Jerking my fingers through my tangled hair I moved back over the wrecked cars and towards the apartment. Jumping back down into the training room, I turned to Ray.
"Call the alarm company to get this fixed and fixed right!" I walked over, throwing the gun hard as I could at the wall. Pissed off beyond words, I felt little satisfaction from the broken concrete and mashed gun laying on the floor.
"They have no idea what is going on! All of them are so stupid as to assume they have some inkling to my intentions!" I paced the room, furious and wishing I could just rip someone's head off, literally!
"I think it's best for you two to go home and leave the rest to me... I have to find my son and get him to safety.. Then I will finish this alone. Sorry." I walked past Ray and Maggie and upstairs. Into my room I shut the door and began looking around for my weapons of choice and whatever else would be needed to find Erika.
Sitting down I made a single phone call.
"Yeah, this is Aria... I need a favor.." I listened for a moment.
"Put Nicoli on the phone... Nicky I need a favor?" I gave him what information I had and approximate where abouts for one evil cunt and my son.
"Find them, I will pay all exspenses and a finder's fee." I hung up when I got his answer.
Now all I had to do was wait. By tomorrow afternoon I would know where and when and just how to get her where it hurts the most.
Pocketing my cell phone, keys, credit card and daggers, I knew I would have to head out tonight and start looking for myself.

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

I had gathered everything I needed and looked towards the back stairs.
"perfect." I didn't need permission nor care to wait and see what Ray and Maggie thought about my decision. It had been made and it was final. No more death threats on my friends and family's head. I wouldn't take it no more, nor put them in danger.
Grabbing my bag of 'goodies' I headed down the stairs and out into the smoggy air of Paris.
I would find Erika, one way or another! Hailing a cab I asked him to drive me to the ritzy part of town with the hotels that were the best in the area. Best place to start in my book.
He pulled over on the road and I climbed out. Glancing along the rows of Hotels, wondering which one she would be in today?

It was almost too good to be true...The Ritz Hotel and I had cleaned up in my room, racking my brains as I tried to figure out how to get to Aria...alone....

The small wrestling match I had with her ex husband had amused me, his destruction of the four blood slaves a good example of his skill with a sword...But I planned to use another type of sword on Aria if I ever found her...

I moved to the streets, hunger in my belly and my veins demanding a meal or two, and perhaps create a few more mindless drones...

On the sidewalk and my senses tingled...Something familiar about the figure that came towards me, the deliberate way she moved...the clenched jaw on her face....Aria's face...

I stepped off the curb as she crossed the street and into her path, turning and pulling the hood off my head as I closed the distance...ten feet, then eight....six and her eyes flickered up at me then down..then up again and widening as i whispered her name and smiled softly.....

"Arrrrriaaaaa"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

I turned to the brute standing in my path, about to tear him a new asshole and my breath got lodged in my throat.
"Jo-Joseph?" His smile, that lovely smile was oh so familiar, I felt the tears well up in my eyes as I tentively reached out to touch him. Making sure he wasn't a mirage, my hand came into contact with hot warm skin.
"oh god!" I threw myself into his arms and held him tightly, my body and mind in shock that he would be standing right here before me!
"I thought you were dead!?" I hugged him, my head buried in his neck, holding on tightly.
"Erika..! She has our son.. I was looking for her.. God I can't believe you are alive!?" I stepped back and studied him for a moment. Happiness shining brightly on my face.

 

[BLACK BART]

J2

I had her!!!

I was elated as I pulled her to me, my arm circling her waist and her lips coming towards mine, words of worry and joy spilling both from her full lips...

"Hushhhh" I whispered and pulled her to me, looking about at the deserted streets....My lips went to hers and her soft, full ones melted against mine as my tongue flicked out anf forced itself into her mouth...a deep, nasty french manuever that tickled her throat.

"Joseph????" The gasp came from her throat as she tried to push back, her confused eyes looking to me for explanation...Looking into my eyes as she tried so hard to figure out what was wrong...and not seeing the punch that I slammed into her chin with.

Aria's eyes rolled back as her body folded and I caught it, lifting the light frame in my arms and moving into the darker alley.

I dropped the veil over my senses, linking myself with the one I had fed on...The partner I had in bed and in my own blood stream as I moved quickly...Appearing as a blur to the mortals as I passed by them....Fondling the limp, full figure of Aria as I went and spoke.

"Erika, I have a present for you. One you will appreciate even if it is slightly used. Meet me, now"

I felt Erika's mind, the surprise and then the wash of pleasure...Who needed a telephone when you were linked together and no other could hear???

I left Erika the image of where I would enjoy my sweet package...and then leaped into the air...

Minutes later I was there, hidden deeply and waiting...Aria hung from the rafters, her arms bound, her clothes shredded as I looked on in amusement.

"You are NOT Joseph?" She questioned still as she awoke groggily.

"NO, But I will enjoy raping your body with his, Before I return it to the pits of hell and death where I took it from" I cackled, kooking my hands in the fabric that hung askew from her body and pulling it off...

I'd have a little fun until Erika arrived, then between us we'd drive her mind and body over the edge....

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

"Joseph is dead isnt he!? And you used his body to get me!? Didnt you!?" I struggled a moment, hanging there my arms felt like they were being pulled from their sockets, but that didn't matter.
Spitting at him, I ripped the bonds that held me and lept for his throat. "YOU WILL DIE!" I landed on him, fangs beared and hatred running through me. Heading spinning from the punch, body raging mad, I would kill this imposter!


Erika

I heard his voice inside my head, turning I set down the book and turned to Micheal.
"We must go little one." I picked him up, the image of where he held her fresh in my mind.
"Oh god I love this!" I felt a shiver roll down my spine of pleasure, success was mine! I could feel it welling up inside and threatening to spill over.
Leeping down from the fire escape, I held the little bundle of 'joy' agaisnt my body as I moved quickly and quietly through the alleys and backroads.
I could feel it, I was going to arrive very very soon and take some revenge on that little cunt!

 

[BLACK BART]

J2

I wiped the blood off my lip...His lips as I rose from the swinging kick that had brought me down...And the second kick that followed to my face.

Aria had backed off, fury in her face as she prepared to fight, when she should have run. But now her chance was gone.

"Did I tell you what I did to your cute little boy?" I taunted and grinned when her face went red with anger and she leapt at me, launching herself in a powerful yet uncontrollable maneuver.

Once you leaped forward you moved forward, until you landed or crashed...

I stepped aside, drawing my fist back and timing the savate kick/punch perfectly...The fist hitting her behind the ear, the kick striking her tender groin as she folded in mid air...and crashed.

I stepped over her and then kicked again, striking her stomach and rolling Aria into a tight whimpering, almost nude ball of flesh.

"You remembered the dangerous and surprising tactics, Aria. But you've forgotten the control you were taught"

Grabbing an arm I twisted it behind her, dropping my weight flat on her to punish her further..and amuse myself as I ground against her twisting buttocks.

A handful of hair and I pulled her head back, exposing her neck as I grinned....pulling my lips back in order to feed on her....

"Aren't you curious as to how your baby is?" I taunted, rubbing the sharp points of my teeth on her bare skin...

 

[nightray]

Ray

AS soon as I’m able to move agene I run to Maggie kneeling over her and yanking the dagger out of her back. I then look at the arm that the ass was pulling on I gently take it and pull it out to one side saying “brace your self my love I’m going to reset this.” With that Ray takes a deep breath to brace him self and then pulls on her wrist hard. Wincing at the pained cry that escapes Maggis lips. Ray looks up as Aria comes back threw the window telling use to go home. I frown thinning when hell freezes over and satin is accepted with open arms in to god’s kingdom.

I kneel down lifting Maggie in to my arms and carrying her up the starts to are room. I lay her down on the bed saying “Rest my love I need to go talk some sense in to Aria.” I walk out the door and knock on her door but theirs no answer. I frown letting my mined reach out to her but I don’t feel her any where in the house. “Fuck” I muddier under my breath and I move back to Maggie. I sit next to her not knowing what to do I can’t leave Maggie hear alone but I can't let Arie go off by her self.

 

[The GrandMage]

Ol' Joe

He rolled his head, delighting in the pops and snaps. He sighed, and continued following the trail. He'd tried to hide it several times, but it was obvious he had no clue what he was doing. Joseph took this as a good sign, as he could follow, if slowed down. He doop a deep smell of the area, and stood blot upright. His lips pulled back, and he growled deep in his throat as he shook with rage.

"That bastard!" He took a few deep breaths, and looked around. He took another deep breath, and began to slowly follow the path his imposter had taken, his hand clenched around the hilt of his broken sword, feeling his rage burn deep and hot.

"This time I'll not hold back, body be damned."

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

I struggled against him, hating him for many things. Most of all using my dead husband as a weapon against me. I should have known when we touched, and I had known but it took too long to sink in. There was no spark there, there was no warmth of feelings of anykind in this mimic's body.
Anger raced through me, my body tensing as I braced my free arm against the stone floor and pressed upwards on my knees. Naked or not, I was not going down without taking him with me!
"You harm my son, you will NEVER see the day light again!" I pushed harder, his fangs raking my neck.
"Sick bastard!" I knew at any moment he could infact bite me and drink me dry, but I would fight til the end if need be. Slowly I lifted my weight and his off of the floor with my knees and one hand. Twisting voilently I threw him off of me and rose to my feet. He smirked and climbed back to his own.
"You will lose.. You have no way of winning.. I am merely toying with you.." I knew his strength was greater than my own, but I wasn't some pussy either. Joseph had been gone for a few years, he hadn't seen my training, he hadn't been there to survey everything I had done. So if this mimic had Joseph's memories inside him, he couldn't possibly know all I was capable of.
He came at me, intending to grab me and instead I shoved the palm of my hand up into his nose, crushing it. I heard and felt the bone mash and jumped back with a twisted grin.
Tears filled his eyes, but it didn't stop him. His fist came hard and fast, striking me once more in the same spot. Stars filled my sight and the ringing in my ears grew as I sank back to my knees. His hand grab me again by my hair and lifted me by it from the floor. He sneered in my face, but I couldn't see him.
"I think Erika has arrived.." He tossed me into a chair and moved behind me. I felt something sharp prick my neck and instantly I tensed up and held still.
I did not want my throat slit and my son was here. I could sense him, I felt a sorrow well up inside me, a desire as well to get to him and hold him once more.
"When this is all over.. you will.."
"Shut up!" He barked at me, the knife pressing closer to my throat. In walked Erika, a smirk on her face.
"Where is my son!?"
She smiled at me and indicated the doorway. "He is here."




Erika

I paused outside the old decrepid building and set Micheal down on his feet. It was now or never and I knew just how to get my way.
"Micheal.. Listen to me and listen well young man. Your mommy is inside, being held by a bad man.. Do you understand?"
He nodded his little head, a grin breaking out on his face.
"No Micheal! You aren't going with her today. Now listen to me.."
He started to cry a little until I grabbed him and shook him a few times.
"Stop that! It's time for you to be a grown up and do as you are told. If you go near your mother, if you call out to her, or call her mommy, she will die. Do you understand me?"
He nodded his head, his eyes filled with fright and staring at me.
"Good, Now you are to tell her you are staying with me and that I will be your new mommy.. If you dont, she will die. understood?"
Again he nodded yes.
"I swear Micheal, you do anything you aren't supposed to and I will kill her and you will have to watch! don't disobey me in this!" I walked around to the doorway and glanced inside. Aria was held in a chair, Joseph holding a knife to her throat.
"Where is my son?"
I was tempted to leave and laugh at her, but I wanted to see the hurt in her eyes more than anything else in the world.
"He is here." I pointed just outside the door. Turning to Micheal I motioned him to come inside. My hands taking firm hold of his shoulders, I kept him before me.
"Micheal say hello to Aria."
"Hello." He fell silent, watching his mother. I knew he longed to go to her, to be held by her but he wasn't going to be allowed that small comfort.
"Tell her Micheal. Tell her what you want."
My hands tightened on his shoulders.
"Mo... Aria.. I.. I'm gonna live wif Erika.. She's my mommy." He looked at the floor unable to look up into his mother's eyes and see her anger and pain.
"No Micheal! You will come home with me! I swear it!"
Micheal glanced up and caught sight of his father.
"Daddy?!" He tried to free himself from me but I tightened my hold on him.
"Yes Micheal, "I said in a soft soothing tone. "Your daddy and I are going to take care of you.."
Aria yelled out, "He isn't your daddy!" Joseph quickly pressed the knife to her throat to silence her.
"We must go now Micheal.. Say good bye." I tugged him backwards with me, grinning as Aria tried to struggle without being cut.
"Bye." Micheal couldn't fight me on this, he knew his choices.
"Let her go Joseph, once we are far away from here. I want her to live with the knowledge her baby is now mine!" I laughed at her snarling face.
"What's wrong Aria? Can't get even with me now?" I picked up Micheal and turned to go.
"Oh and one more thing, "I turned to look over my shoulder at her, "Your friends will die soon enough.. We'll just leave you alone to ponder that for eternity.." I laughed loudly as I moved. Out the door way, down the alley and with quick speed back to the Hotel.
Micheal was mine now, she would never get him back. Well not in one piece.. If she tried it, he would die.. I was sure she knew that.
Sooner or later I would have to kill Aria, it was the only way I would ever have peace and quiet. Perhaps it was time to take the Jet and go to italy for awhile?
Tucking Micheal close to me, I felt him tense up and I knew he was crying for his mother... all well. Time would heal the little tike and he would forget about her all together.

 

[The GrandMage]

Ol' Joe

He stared ahead, and took another deep breath. Erika, him, Aria, and his son. He frowned. How to save one, without risking the other. He saw Erika moving towards him, down the alley. He supposed he looked like any other bum in the streets. And she had his son. She had a surprised look when his fist swung around, slamming into the side of her head. She was already unconscious before she fell to the ground.

He reached out, and picked up his boy. He had a scared look. Joseph smiled, and rubbed the top of his head. "Heya, sport. Look. You're daddy sent me. This woman and a mean man who looks like your daddy are doing bad things. I have to go help your mommy, okay?" The boy nodded, and hugged against him, crying.

"Shhh, now, Micheal. I want you to wait here, okay?" He nodded, and Joseph set the boy down. He smiled again, and moved around to the enterance. In moments, he was at the door Erika had exited. He kicked it off it's hinges, glaring at the person in his body.

"Now I'm fucking pissed, you bastard. I was going to go easy on you.." He pulled what was left of his swrd from it's sheath, and glared at him. "But now I'm going to whoop your damn ass."

 

[BLACK BART]

Erika left...a smirk and a wink for me as I raised my fist and held it poised until the door closed...then pounded it into the back of Aria's head as she took her last look at her boy...and then a second stunning blow to guarntee her cooperation...

I lifted her by her hair and stripped her....shredding the remaining clothes from her body as I bent her forward and pulled out my erect length, then rammed it into her still stunned body...pumping into her like a john on his Saturday night whore...drawing both hands behind her I pinned both in my larger and much stronger one...then pressed the blade once again to her throat...ordereing her with a cruel smile...

"If you hope to see that boy alive again....Make this worth remembering"

A sob came from Aria's bleeding throat and she pressed back into me, her eyes closing as she gave in...and I pummeled her from behind...

The door crashed open and I grinned, knowing the sight that the would be avenger now saw...and because of his gallantry the boy as well...

"Nice to see the family all COMING together" I taunted, feeling the tiny bones in Aria's wrist crack as I increased the pressure..and pushing the razor sharp blade a centimeter deeper into her throat.

"Now BACK OFF or all you'll get is cold sloppy seconds"

The raw hate in Joseph's eyes amused me....I laughed at him and his helplessness....he had chosen the wrong moves once again....For all he knew the shadow he ignored behind him was Erika, now concious and with a sword and a grudge of her own...

The sound of my groin pounding against Aria's bare flank filled the empty silence and with a final grunt I filled her womb.....knowing another child would be born....half vampire and half demon....No matter what the outcome the war was not over.

I loosed Aria's hands and punched her already punished neck again...Driving her abused and unconcious body across the floor and at Josephs feet....Then lifted the sword still in my hand and placed its point to my heart...

"I've done what I came here for...And have no use for this pitiful body, if you want it you can find it where you left it...IN HELL"

The sword drove clean thru...I could feel the fluids rushinf from the wound, then the body crumbling as the unholy flame consumed it and released me....my cackling voice the last sounds coming from its lips...

"I'll be waiting"

 

[Sweetp4u]

Aria

Sobbing was one word for it as he tormented me with his vile raping. Another was pure rage, if only I could get my hands freed! I heard someone come in, bellowing in anger, but it was too late. Whoever had arrived was just a few seconds too late. With the last of my strength I summoned up enough energy to call to Ray, "Ray? Please help!
I stopped and all I seen was darkness come over me as the pain erupted in my throat and blackness took hold..



Erika
I never seen it coming, someone struck me and down I went. I could hear a little, see not at all, and felt very ill at the same time. Someone spoke to Micheal, though his voice was drawn and hard to make out.
I went down hard, I could feel the impact throughout my whole body, but I struggled with all of my strength to stay awake. Groaning, He had walked off but still I couldn't move.
I heard a commotion and felt Joseph, well the imposter depart from the body. My arms shook as I rose up from the ground. Crawling across the cold concrete I took hold of Micheal and held on.
I couldn't speak, and he kept trying to brush me off, backing away.
"Mi-Micheal.. Don't........ Move.." I gasped for air, blinking rapidly to clear my vision. I could see somewhat and I heard another ruckus in the old building. Turning, I sat up and grabbed ahold of Micheal.
Taking his hand, I could only make out partial things, nother whole. A door, but all I could see was the handle of it and the blurry outline. It would do..
Taking his hand in mine, I drug him with my half crawling body to the door and kicked it open.
"Stay..... inside...." It hurt to breath, I heard him whimper for his mom but i wasn't listening much to him. I had to get to safety and Micheal was safe inside this room.
God, who knew what that room was?!
Turning, I stumbled and drug myself upright and began bouncing between walls down the alley inwhich I came. I made it to the curb, but I couldn't see much of where I was.
A bright flash of yellow went by and then another.
"TAXI!" I called out as loudly as I could, barely able to lift my arm up.
Thank god! One stopped for me. Jumping inside, I breathlessly gave him instructions on where to take me..
I would get Micheal again, just give me time to get healed first.

I look up sharply as I hear Aria calling me with her mind. I look down at Maggie saying “I hate to do this to you my love but I can’t risk leaving you.” I pick Maggie up in to my arms as my mind searches for Arias. I find it faint but clear I can feal some of her pain and growl under my breth as I move fast not bothering with the door. I jump out the window landing on my feet easily Maggie still in my arms. I run as fast as I can fallowing the feel of Aria's mind. I can tell that she is unconches and hurt bad but that all I can get.

As I get closer I fined a place for Maggie to hide putting her behind a dumpster. I say stay “stay her don’t go any where tell I com back with Aria ok.” I stand and run not waiting for her answer my sword in my hand. I move threw the shadows my senses open searching for the once responsible for Arias unconsciousness. I move up to the building only hearing one person in side other then aria. I smile to my self and sip in threw a window moving silently threw the shadows.

Maggie

The blackness threatened to take over when I felt the cold rush of air hit my lung. It stung like hell, kind of like pouring ice water in a sunburn. I gasped for a breath that I couldn't really take, I wondered if I had a five hundred pound man sitting on half of my back.
I fought to stay concious, but I knew it was a loosing battle when my vision went black. I heard Ray's voice but it sounded so distant. Even my own sounded that way when, I felt the pressure on my arm, then the pop, and a harsh cry of pain slipped past my lips.
Every muscle in my body went rigid and I couldn't help but grind my forehead into the floor and clench my teeth until I thought they would shatter.
I could feel that numb tingling feeling creeping over me, that one you get just before you black out. I knew it was coming and fought with every ounce of me being to stay awake and concious.
A most horrifying sound filled my ears as I was being move and while I lay there starring at the ceiling. A sound of air rushing passed liquid causing a gurgling sound. Each breath was a whole new experience in pain and agony and I began to wonder if I should take Aria's advice and go home.
What was I to my own family? Nothing but trouble and humiliation. That answer was easy and pained my heart. I had come to help and hadn't helped at all.

"I don't think they'd tell anything that important to you...You'd probably talk if you were tortured....Who knew they'd be right?......
I had thought you to be a yearling, but you aren't even that....... What use are you to them? Bait, probably...........
I'd say maybe a virgin for them to sacrifice to the book, but then again we both know that isn't true... is it.........."

The strangers voice mingled and twisted with my thoughts. I bit down on my bottom lip to still it's trembling and felt my eyes well with tears. Little bits and pieces of what he said came to me, the haughty tone in his voice driving home the truth as true as the dagger.
I closed my eyes and wiped the tears from my face with my good hand. Swallowing hard against the lump of emotion balling up in my throat. Pull it together idiot, there are more important things to worry about than yourself. I kept telling myself silently over and over.
I was about to ask Ray about Aria when he jumped suddenly “I hate to do this to you my love but I can’t risk leaving you.” In mere moments we were out of the building and flying down the street. Something was wrong and I knew it, but what?
Ray set me down behind a dumpster and told me to stay there. I sighed, knowing that if I did move something would happen...it always did.
Opening my senses fully, I took in everything around me. Sights, sounds, smells, it all captivated me. and when I caught wind of Ray's fleeting scent I could sit still no longer and very slowly got myself to my feet.
I leaned against the wall for support as a rush of blood swarmed to my head. "Take it slow Mag's, your in no shape to run a marathon." I mused silently and started after Ray in a gradual pace.
"You are not prepared......... be prepared for anything that will come along......."
The words whispered upon the air, like a summer breeze. I paused, turned my head to the sky and closed my eyes taking in a breath.
For a moment I felt some pressence, something I had never felt. But it left as suddenly as it had arrived and I continued on Ray's trail......

 

[poohlive]

It's a bright and clear night in the city. Still early enough for things to happen. Far off in the distant, the light glare against the darkened sky, as if defying the sun for having to leave them with nothing more than nightlights against the dark hue.
Let us not waste our breath on meaningless beauty of the skyline though, there is much to see, and much to do. Come on, we'll take a little ride.
It'll only be a few minutes, I promose.
We could take a look inside the small warehouse. The new life already boiling up inside the womb, the group of vampires either entering of leaving the area, hell bent on tearing each other's souls apart, but that will be explained further on it's own.
This trip isn't supposed to tell you what you will know later, but infrom you on things you have yet to know. Things you should know.
Things that are happening away from that place.
Even now Fate spins it's web. Each place sacred and important in it's own right, and even though what happened in the next few minutes might change everything, it is not here where we are supposed to go.
It is here where we start, not finish.
First, we go to a woman, stricken in pain. Young, graceful. If you want to take a big whiff, the smell of blood comes to your nose. She is bleeding, or has in the past hour, and is now leaning heavily against the side of a wall.
It is with this woman that Fate begins to draw things together.
A voice, nothing more than a whisper comes to her. It has never come to her before, because it has never been connected with her before. It is something weird and new, but somehow reassuring. Like the warm pull of velvet as it moves across your skin.
The dagger sliced against her skin. It cut her, it made her bleed. Blood poured from it, tainting the blade, dripping over the handle.
It awoken something when that man stuck it inside her back, and then it stirred deeply as it was pulled out.
Like it or not, Maggie was no longer alone in that side alley.
Something else was there with her. Something sympathized as it heard her thoughts. A sorrowful wind comes to our ears. The ghost of a woman who had died so many hundreds of years ago weeps for the one now, forced to try and help her friends despite all of her own shortcomings.
Something should be done, something must be done.
The ghost makes it's own choice. Somethign will be done.
Before us, the wind changes. From a colder sad northern blow to something warmer, something a little bit more exciting.
Out of thin air the knife appears in her hand. Even if one was looking at her palm as it happened, they would blink ubelievingly at what had taken place. This piece of metal and leather was supposed to be in a pool of her own blood back at the house.
Here it was though. It looked, if we do pretend to trust our own eyes, as if it came from the very shadows to drop right into her outstretched palms.
"One way or another your friend's destiny lies in that warehouse young one. You can not change it, and I do not think you'd want to. They have their own demons to overcome, and so do you. Follow me."
And with that, the ghost is now gone. She is waiting for a young woman, weak from pain and hunger, to come back to an old place within the city that is still known to her.
She guides the young woman, through her thoughts. The ghost had somehow implanted her with every twist and turn to go exactly where she was supposed to.
Destiny was busy at work tonight, and Maggie was one of the bigger pieces to overcome.
But she is not the last, oh no. I know time is running short, and you want to get back to the battle. The couragious fight each of them are trying to win, but not everyone can. That is the sad thing about this fight, one side will lose.
One side will die, and no matter which one, it'll be a bittersweet victory.
We move now, gently of course, into a small cab moving deeper into town. We travel inside to see a woman, again covered in blood, looking very confused and desperate. Something of a tired grin covers her face, and despite that we know what she has been through, we still wonder exactly what she is thinking.
Erika has never been one to think of anything too straight, her mind is probably wandering off far far away from here. Hundreds of miles, perhaps.
One may never know, but perhaps Vlad is in those thoughts.
They are in the thoughts of Destiny. We seemed to have hitched a ride with her tonight, as she moved through this industrial battlefield to help with each and every problem.
Destiny's lips brushed against Erika's. The kiss of fate.
"You do know where the sword is, don't you?"
We might reckognize that voice, although it has been awhile. She certainly does, but for a moment she can't quite track it's origin down. Just a whisper from far ago. It was an old voice, something with pride and power.
Then we understand where we have heard it before. In the castle, the great castle she visited so long ago. That mighty piece of stone that had appeared from a fog, given her an ancient sword of great power, and then left from this physical plane. Out of existence.
That is all Destiny will do tonight, just touch the old memory that had been tucked away long ago. It wants to do nothing more, for Erika knows. As she had known when she first picked it up, what she should do.
Her fate was not completed.
We then let the taxi leave us, and return back up to the heavens, where we can once again see the skyline blinking against the stars. Just like a child, the stars blink back. A wonderful little cycle of blinking can be seen.
We are not finished just yet. I know you want to get back, and see how it all ends, in a way it has ended, but there is one more image to show you. Bear with me a few minutes more, will you?
This is unlike the others, this is not balance or fate or Destiny's back that we take a ride on, but something else. Something darker than fate.
Perhaps chaos is a better word. Disorder and anarchy are our guides in this last vision, and as much as it pains me, it must be shown.
I want you to know the truth, and I want you to be prepared.
We move now, faster than before. Hundreds of miles an hour, the air whipping our hair aside as we pass countryiside, mountainside, lush green fields, and hundreds upon hundreds of people. We are only looking for one though.
You might remember this place. We were here once before.
Yes, an empty field, close to a ruined building, next to a dirt road. Here a fight not too long ago took place. A fight that upturned worlds and broke ancient bonds and left innocent blood spilled on the ground.
Now, it is silent, empty, except for a huge hulk of flesh. Even in the dark his massive form is known to us all, the form or Robert, long since dead.
Something stands beside him though. A clothed figure in dark robes, and even darker eyes, waving his hands above the creature that had nearly destroyed Lance.
Robert had no soul, so there was no deal to make with Destiny to bring him back. All one had to do was....
His cold heart thudded heavily inside his chest. First once, very faintly, but then it happened again, and against. Blood that had grown cold out in this forgotten field now pumped through his veins once more.
Coughing something deep within him, Robert leaned over to his side, puking.
The man smiled. He revealed two sharp pointy teeth as he did so.
A vampire, but I'm sure that was the general consensus of all these things. All of the evil loard fighting in this battle over the book and the rings were vampires. Human did not know or care about the fate of the world.
This was a secret battle of the world, fought in warehouses and back alleys, ancient monsters such as Robert and old Talisman's like the blade now in Maggie's hand must come into play, otherwise it will all be lost.
This man wanted it to be lost though. His heart was impure, and greed coursed through him, just as life now coursed through Robert.
"I am your master now," he spoke, thick and cruel voice pierced the night air, "We will crush our enemies together."
The monster nodded, understanding. His oath to the book, and the cave were forgotten. He would take orders now, a bitch to his master, that walked in his long black robes back to the van awaiting them both.
It seems, as if, a new master was coming out of the woodwork. Something more demonic than perhaps even the demon that once took over Joseph's body, now swimming inside of Aria.
Of course, you'd think nothing could be more evil than that, and I would tend to agree with you. What that demon has in store for our friends later will be worse than anything this man in the dark robes could hope to do to them.
He is after the page though. The royal order of the page starts and ends with him, and if he gets what is on that last page. One single word that can easily be more valuable than that whole damned book put together. Something more dangerous that demon spawn, or anicent blood codes, or even the undead monsters coming back to do the bidding of old men.
It could destroy worlds, and creat new ones. It had the power above all power. It was the only thing on earth that could, in theory, turn someone into God.
He would become God. A leader of nations and men, as well as plants and oceans and planets and suns and galaxies. Infinite possibilities were there, one single word on one single page that was hidden away.
Only two men truly knew what was on this last page. The first was not getting into a van, along with his new friend the monster, and the second?
The second....
Where is Lance anyway? He seems to have created quite a stir in his absence. I'd love to show him to you, but the hour draws near, and I think you want to get back to the warehouse, where things are still left unfinished.
He'll be back, soon enough. I promise you that. Destiny is no more done with him than any of the other people here tonight.
He is coming, and he has brought a friend too.
When dealing with things this late in the game, it's always helpful to bring a friend.

Erika

The faint tickling in my mind grew and grew until I focused on it and drew it up to the forefront of my mind.
The sword.
The sword of Truth was in my hotel room.. Why had it come to mind? Why indeed? I hadn't touched it since I arrived here in Paris, and hadn't thought of it since.
But there is was tickling my mind. I had this desire to find it, to hold it, but why? And then there was the book, tearing through the darkness, bidding me to it. Calling my name and all the hopes and dreams I had to succeed.
But I was a success already? I was rich, I had everything I ever wanted. Eternal beauty and power that came with money. So why did I need this book? What was this quest really about anyways?
Bowing my head, I rubbed my temples, trying to see clearly, to think clearly. I had so many things tugging in my mind. Why the sword and why now? Staring out the window I watched the scenary go by, but did not pay attention to it either.
The old man had said to use it, to see with it. To see the truth in people and things and to use it wisely. It had a purpose, I had a purpose. But still I had no inkling to what he meant by those words? The cab stopped and I climbed out slowly. Pains in my head still bothering me, all else forgotten but rest.
No mean thoughts of revenge. No desires to make anyone pay, no urge to succeed in life when I already had everything I desired. One thought, rest... And that missing element.. Love.


Aria

I came to slowly, my mind paniced as I glanced at a pair of feet before my face. Quickly I flipped over to my backside and scooted away. My eyes widening as I stared up into the face of some vagrant.
"d-Dont touch me!" I crawled further backwards, bumping into something. That's when I felt it, I felt Ray near by.
"Ray?" I stiffled a sob in my throat and glanced around. Spotting him in the shadows.
Crying out, I jumped up and moved to him. Slowly, awkwardly and in a great deal of pain. Blood still ebbed from the wound to my throat, but the pain was minimal compared to the pain inside me right now.
I colasped into his arm, his hand coming around me as I buried my head in his neck. Tears flowed down my cheeks, hot and condeming. I had let that witch escape with my son! He had used my dead husband's body to trap me and I had been so stupid as to fall for it!
I put so many people in danger and for what?! I had no idea now what the whole purpose of this was. Perhaps that was my short coming right there in cold hard truth. I had no idea... I was stupid as Willow had said. Too stupid to see that this quest should have never taken place.. Those rings should have been destroyed long ago. What was done was done. You can not change the past or the future. You can not take century old vampires and make them human once again. It was just not possible!
Shaking, I pressed closer to Ray, feeling something warm drape over my bare shoulders, I realized Ray had covered me up with his coat. "Thank you." I gripped his shirt front in my hands, unwilling to let the anchor go that kept me in reality at this moment.
I could feel the sticky substance from that vile thing running down my inner thighs. I felt ill, like I was going to throw up everything I have ever eaten in the past few days. I felt betrayed and angry. I felt pain and weariness take hold of me as well.
The stranger still stood in the doorway, I could hear him breathing, but he said nothing so far.
I couldn't bring myself to look at him, to look at Ray. With A cry of outrage I turned and fled the warehouse. Heading for home, heading for safety of my room. I was a blur through the crowd. No one seen me, My heart pumped wildly, the blood and pain of the family on my shoulders, increasing my pain tenfold. I felt lowly, rotten and worthless at that point. I felt anger and vengence take hold of me as well. Burying the pain in a thick wall of hatred, I closed my eyes a brief second and felt it eating me up. I had to stop those thoughts or I would turn out like Erika.. But not matter how hard I tried, I could not just curb that driving force that begged me to kill that bitch in the slowest ways possible.
Arriving at home, I burst through the door and down the stairs. There was a single room cellar here. Hidden so well no one could find it. It would house me until I felt well enough to emerge once more and hold my head up... However long that would take..

 

[The GrandMage]

Joseph

He let go. There was no time to say 'I think NOT!'. Both hands came around, clasping both side of a familiar head. The disease spread forth as the flames started. And they stopped. He could actually feel the sound barrier break.

Black spiderweb patterns spread across the battered face of Joseph's friend. Joseph's body fell apart, but Joe was gone.

On a field not in our world, the physical world, Joseph stood. He faced his opponent, seeing him for the first time. "Did you honestly think you could escape me? In a form that carried God's hand? You think you can escape back to Hell, but not while I have enough strength to intervene. You're halfway there, though. Limbo's pretty, isn't it?"

And then he started. Joseph held nothing back. He had no body to protect now, nothing to allocate his power to now. He started moving, and was already there. A swiftknee doubled his opponent over, and he brought down both his fists on the back of his head. "This! Is for stealing my body!" He brought hisleg around, slamming it into the demon's back, hearing a snap and sound he could only associate with pain. "That's for thinking you could win!"

He reached around, grabbing ahould of the demon's face. A white glow formed around his hand. "And this is for raping my wife, you worthless bastard." He let himself flow, a channel through which he pulled the soul of his old friend, stained with a disease impossed by The Almighty Lord, and the demon. The two hit, and the disease was transferred. So, his friend was banished to Limbo, and he would exist without form forever, never seeing or doing anything. To damn bad.

"Have fun, fuckoff." He felt the pull, and was sucked back into the physical world. And, without another using his body, he was free to has his back. He staggered forward, and fell to his knees as the body he had been using began to change. Bones reshaped, muscles moved, hair was drawn back into the body and changed color. Discolorations disappeared. and a leg grew.

After a few minutes, Joseph stood shakily up. But he was himself again, even if his clothes didn't fit to well and he was filthy. He flipped up the eyepatch he was wearing, and let go a long groan. He felt very weak. And he knew the power was dormant again. And would be now, for the rest of time. The flashes, breif touches of his past were gone now. It was sealed away.

He shook himself, and took a deep breath. Aria! He shook in rage. He'd raped her! Well, at least birth rates in vampires were so low the likelyhood of any longstanding damage was almost zilch. He shook himself back to normal, and exited the building. The first thing he did was hunt down his son. "Micheal! Micheal, where are you? It's me! My friend was talking to you earlier, son! C'mon!"

 

[nightray]

Ray

I snarls “No you don’t’ as Aria takes off running at full speed. I move after her but can’t catch up as things keep getting in my way slowing me down as I run keeping her in my sits as I doge people and jumps over cars. I smile some with relief as she dartes in to the house. I moves after her looking arund not seeing her. I retche out to her with my mind. “Ware are you don’t hide from me.” I tern my head as my mind finds her down below.

I moves quickly down the stars my eyes easily seeing threw the darkness of the basement. I can feel her near but can’t seem to find where she is exactly. I move slowly sniffing the air picking up the sent of her blood as I moves deeper in to the dark room. I fallow her sent to a wall frowning as I look at it I can clearly sense her behind the wall but theirs no obvious door. I snarls rage boiling in my veins at every thing that’s happened recently.

I slam’s a fist hard in to the wall hoping that it’s not reinforst but as the wood panels shatter he sees a steel door. “Grate.” I murders as my hands begin to move over the steel looking for the reels my finger tips feeling every nock and cranny of the door pressing hear and there until I hear a faint snap. The door swings in where’d reveling a small four by four room with concrete walls and a dirt floor. My eyes move to Aria huddled in a corner her fangs bard as she shakes from shook.

I t crouches down keeping his destines much like I would do with a cornered and hurt dog. I let's my mind touch hers gently caressing it letting her know that it’s me. I let all of my feeling for her move threw the link to her mind trying to sooth her letting her know that I love her as much as ever if not in the same way as before. I slowly inch my way forward.

“It’s ok Aria it’s just me I want let any one hart you.” I say in a soft comforting voice letting the rag flow from my eyes only letting my love for her show in them. I move closer watching her closely reedy to block an attack that she may throw at me. “Let me help you your hart and need blood relax we’re the only ones her.”

My eye’s move to her neck wincing slightly at the blood still using from the bit. As I move closer my eyes move over her buzzed body my lips carling in to a snarl when I see the blood coming from her sex. I force the snarl away moving my eye’s back to her face as my hand slowly reaches to gently run over her check comfortingly.
