Hollows AU
By: FunahoMisaki
(A/N: I own nothing and what if Rachel always knew she was at least half demon, as did some of the demons, two of whom pretty much adopted her? But there's something else. Something Rachel never meant to let anyone know…and it has to do with Ivy. AU OOC Bashing and Femslash)
"Morgan!" Denon, her now former supervisor, shouted just as Rachel's new comrade and friend Ivy Tamwood stormed out of his office and was making her way to the exit door. Rachel Morgan, classified as an Earth Witch, yelped as she bonked her head on the bottom of her now former desk at her name being shouted.
"Ow! I'm cleaning it out already!" Rachel shouted back rubbing the back of her head while Ivy turned, just shy of the exit door, and looked at Rachel with mostly black eyes that had a ring of brown to them. Rachel glanced up and met Ivy's eyes, smiling softly as she did so and causing the living vampire to relax a little until Denon stormed out of his office.
"Jeez. You wanted me gone so bad at least let me finish cleaning out my small space in peace!" Rachel said scowling as Denon stormed over to her, looking mighty pissed. Now most of the office was either attracted to him, or scared stiff of him…Rachel however was neither and was not afraid to show it now that he no longer had any control over her.
"I wanted you gone for the last two years Morgan you lowly little earth witch, but when you finally leave you have to take my best runner with you. Not good Morgan, not good." Denon said glaring down at Rachel who gave him a roll of her eyes and a snort.
"I'm not taking her anywhere. For me to take her means that it'd be against her wishes. If she wants to leave with me that's fine, if it makes you feel better I did try to convince her to stay. Just cause I'm fed up of you sabotaging me and want to leave didn't mean I planned on dragging anyone else along for the ride. Hell I expected to go solo actually. If she wants to leave alongside me, that's her choice and I'll respect it. I'm certainly grateful to have her helping my stupid witchy ass." Rachel said turning her back to him as she finished packing away the rest of her stuff.
"Yeah right I bet you used some kind of spell to bewitch her or something." Denon said scowling at Rachel who turned towards him surprised, Jenks nearly falling out of her earring.
"I had no idea you had such faith in my abilities Denon. I'm not sure if I should be flattered or not." Rachel said looking at him surprised and causing him to blink for a second while Rachel leaned back against her now former desk to watch him.
"What are you on about Morgan?" Denon asked confused, the whole office silent as a graveyard as they peeked over at the confrontation without trying to be obvious about it.
"Well you must have a lot of faith in me, a 'lowly little earth witch', to think that I managed to bewitch or put some kind of spell on a living vampire. Especially one who is as familiar with my methods of operation regarding spells as Ivy is. So you're either saying that she's too weak to stand up to any kind of spell I can throw at her or I'm strong and stealthy enough to do it without her noticing and stopping me." Rachel said causing Denon to hiss in a sharp breath of air, making Rachel smirk slightly while murmurs ran around the room and Ivy began to walk over with her arms crossed over her chest. Everyone in the department knew that while Rachel was strong, Ivy was stronger, and Rachel had about as much stealth and tact as a troll in a china shop.
"That's not what I meant Morgan! Stop trying to twist my words!" Denon said snarling at Rachel who gave him an innocently confused look.
"You're the one who said I must have bewitched her or something." Rachel pointed out making Denon growl at her and lunge forward, aiming to grab her by her shirt. In a flash Rachel had his arm in her grasp, his wrist twisted unnaturally as she kicked his legs out from under him.
"Let this teach you something Denon. I'm not some employee you can boss around anymore, I'm not a flunky to order and kick around, and I'm damn well not a ghoul like you are. I don't take orders, not from you at least, and the ones I do take orders from really want me to stake your ass right now. I may be just a 'lowly earth witch' in your opinion, but I can do things you don't even have the brain cells to think of. Try to attack me again and see what happens." Rachel hissed, her voice lower than it should be as her eyes flashed dangerously which caused Ivy to raise a single eyebrow. For a second there Rachel's eyes appeared to have flashed red. Interesting. She thought she had imagined it whenever that had happened when they were partnered together.
"As soon as you're on the streets you're fair game Morgan. You hear me?" Denon snarled as Rachel let him go, he obviously didn't notice Ivy behind him just yet.
"I can't take out Tamwood, so you'll be her whipping girl instead. Understand me?" Denon threatened as he rose to his feet.
"If you're dumb enough to openly state that in front of me no less, do you really think I'll let her out of my sight?" Ivy's smooth voice cut in causing Denon to jump and pale ten shades of white when he spun around and saw her standing behind him with nearly pitch black eyes.
"And if you did somehow get past me and to her… well…you'd follow her instantly, and I'd make sure it's painful." Ivy said her eyes going pure black as she glares down the sweating ghoul.
"Understand me Denon?" Ivy asked causing him to rapidly nod his head in agreement.
"Good. I'll see you at the new place in a little while Rachel." Ivy said nodding haughtily at Denon before smiling warmly at Rachel who was grinning at her.
"Sure thing Ivy. See you in a little while." Rachel said her grin turning into a soft smile as Ivy gave her a fond look and walked away. Ivy paused, her hand on the metal door handle as she spoke too quick for a human, Witch, or Warlock to hear her.
"If anyone threatens what is mine again I'll kill them twice, and Rachel. Is. Mine." With that Ivy was out the door.
She never knew that Rachel had heard her loud and clear.
