I ran over the tall grass and through the thick set of pine trees, I knew they were still behind me as I listened to the heavy footfalls.
I slipped behind the largest tree and waited. I tucked the large handmade knife into my jeans and began climbing up the tree. I stopped as soon as I was out of sight. I watched the kitsune pass to the right and the two shifters moved left. I waited for a few moments and let myself breathe. I was outnumbered. That was a constant theme, as of late.
I had spent the last ten months running, fighting and hiding. I was constantly pursued by monsters and things that go bump in the night.
I wound up here but accident, I was working a case where a witch was killing ex-lovers of a neighbor that she had on a thing for. When it came down to icing the witch, somehow she managed to pull me into purgatory with her. I had been hunting the supernatural most of my life and never had anything like this happen to me.
Being a human in monster world basically put a giant flashing neon sign that read "live hot meal" and I was not ready to be on the menu. As much as I hated the constant fear, there was something about being here that made you realize what you had. It was pure, all the emotions and actions were untainted by others or unbound by laws. It was kill or be killed, simple as that.
I climbed down the tree and looked around after a short time passed. I took off headed back to a small cave I had passed while being chased. It was covered by a boulder but the wet ground made it easy for me to access it. I pushed the giant rock slowly creating an opening and slipped inside. It was damp and dark but it would do for the night. I carefully rolled the stone over the opening and walked back as far as I could in the dark corner of the cave. I propped myself up against a pile of what I hope were rocks and tried to get comfortable. I closed my eyes and rested for a while. Sleep was a luxury, I was able to function on a few hours because I had to keep moving.
I woke up feeling something press against my throat. I looked up to see a man's face with bright eyes staring at me. The man had bared teeth and was breathing a little heavy. I let out a sharp exhale and put my hand up.
"Whoa, hey." I whispered, looking at him in shock. I was alive which meant he was going to play with his food before he made a meal of me. I reached for my knife but I couldn't find it with my fingertips.
The man lifted the weapon and smiled at me. He dropped the smile and stared, keeping his large handmade weapon on my neck.
"Human?" He asked me quietly with a hint of rage in his voice. I carefully nodded remaining hyper aware of the sharpened point at my throat.
He backed off and looked at me.
"How?" He asked me.
I stood up slowly with my hands up. The man skittishly pointed his weapon at me again.
"Witch." I said coldly, "you?"
"Leviathan." He said with a smile. I nodded and looked over his shoulder. It was still clear and light was pouring into the hole.
"We should move." he said looking at me.
I nodded and grabbed my knife from his hand. The strange man stepped out from the cave. He checked to see if it was clear. He looked back and waved his hand for me to follow. We took off through the clearing and into the deep woods. I don't know why I followed him but I had a feeling in my gut that he was a good man. I didn't trust him but I was willing to not be in this hell alone.
We ran for what felt like hours. Until he stopped dead in his tracks, he pushed me behind him. His shoulders puffed up. I stared at the back of his head, he was covered in mud and dried blood streaked down from his hair line to his neck. He stopped me from moving as I started to step out. I peered over his shoulder.
"Two humans. Dinner and desert." A man said with a smile. He bared his teeth and a second set dropped down. I lifted my weapon and took a defensive stance.
"I don't think so." A voice from behind me spoke up, " I call the girl."
I turned to see two vampires, a long haired woman in dirty white old time pantaloons and tight beige shirt and a man with a long coat and cap standing behind her. He tilted his cap politely and smiled with his vampire teeth showing. The second vampire put his finger to his lips and mouthed for me to be quiet. I turned my back and pressed it to my cave companions.
"Stay close." He hissed at me.
The vamps facing me moved closer, the second vampire pulled a machete made of bone from his coat and sliced the female vamps neck with it, the woman's head slowly slid off and hit the ground. He rushed past us, to slice the head of the other vampire clean off using his machete.
"We should talk." He said looking at us. I stepped out and stared at him.
"Well, I don't talk with monsters. I prefer to gank them." the man said pulling me behind him.
"That's no way to talk to the man who saved your asses." the vampire said with a chuckle. He had an accent that was thick and southern.
"Let's see, I can shove this in your ass and we can be going." the man said looking at the vampire.
"I can get you out of here." He said as we stopped in our tracks. The vampire stepped closer to me, he smiled at me and looked at the man.
"Look, thanks but we need to move." the man said as he took my hand. He pulled me closer to him and away from the vampire.
"I know where you can get out of this place." The vampire said with a drawl that caught my attention. I stared at his mouth as he spoke.
"You're lying." The man said tightening his grip on my hand.
"I'm surely not." The southern vamp said as he stepped closer.
"Why do you care if we get out if here, fangtasia?" The man said with a small laugh.
"There isn't a way out." I piped up, "I've been looking."
"There is if you're human. God has made it so. At least, that's the rumor." the vampire said smiling at me, "Unless you've gone native, but if not you probably are sick of being walking meat-cicle"
"Prove it." The man said with a tone of annoyance.
"No, you in or out? I can get you out but I need you to cooperate with me." the vamp said in a soft tone. He walked around us waving his machete in the air.
The man looked at me, I looked up at him and shrugged. I turned my head to the monster before us.
"Fine, but we find the angel." The man holding my hand grumbled.
"Fours a crowd." the vamp said fully annoyed.
"No deal. In or out?" The man said. The vamp paused then nodded.
"Why are you helping us?" The man asked the vampire. The vampire smiled and wiped his chin.
"I need a lift out of here." He said smiling at us. I got a chill down my spine and subconsciously squeezed the man's hand.
"The names Benny." He said nodding again as he took his cap off and tipping it towards me.
"Dean" the man said waving his weapon and cocked his head to the side.
"Angela" I said lifting my free hand.
"Oh, I know all about you two. You are purgatory's most wanted." Benny said with a slight smile as he dropped his weapon.
Dean looked at me. I smiled at him, and let him lead the way. I was still holding his hand without thinking about it. Human touch was something I never realized I missed. We walked through the thickness of the forest in silence.
"The angel, why you care so much about him." Benny said looking at me then at Dean.
"He's my friend. Mind your business." Dean growled protectively.
Benny the vampire and new ally nodded his head and walked beside us as we made our way through the rugged terrain.
We spent the rest of daylight running and fighting. When you didn't think you could fight anymore purgatory sent more monsters at you. Kill or be killed, so you had to pull it out of the air or get dead.
We got held up by a foursome of leviathans. I only had a run in with one before but it was an ugly fight. The big mouth lost thankfully but I was pretty banged up from the altercation. Dean without hesitation took on two levis at once, leaving Benny and me our very own big mouths to deal with.
I slashed the woman's face and the took her head off. I spun around to see Dean hit the ground and the leviathan on him. Dean swung his knife and took off a chuck of skin but the monster kept attacking.
For a moment, Dean and his weapon got separated, he was pinned down by a leviathan. I kicked the head of the one who was trying to eat me then rushed to his side. I swung my blade under handedly and the head fell to the side closest to me, leaving me standing over Dean. I kicked the head like it was a football and sent it flying. He threw the body to the side. I extended my hand and helped him up. Benny ripped the last ones head off with his bare hands. I looked at Dean who just smiled at me then took my hand and we ran.
As night grew near and the sky turned a deep black and purple, we camped out in another cave that Dean had found. Benny agreed to stand watch since vampires don't need sleep, allowing the mortals to get some shut eye. Dean propped himself up against a rock and was using his jacket as a cover.
I sat next to him carefully. I put my hand on his leg then crawled onto his lap. I kissed him a little harder than I planned. He was still for a moment but then relaxed. He pushed his jacket to the side. He ran his dirty hands up my back and into my hair. He kissed me then pulled strands of hair back from my face with two fingers. I cupped his dirty face and looked him in the eyes. I kissed him again this time pulling his lower lip lightly with my teeth.
I second guessed my actions, as he pushed my hands down. A voice in my head screamed at me saying it was a bad idea. I ignored them and went for it again. I kissed him again and he kissed me back. He lowered a hand to the middle of my back to pull me closer and he kissed me deep and a little harder.
I pushed myself against his hips. He pushed back and grabbed a handful of ass causing me to moan a little. I could feel how much he wanted this as his hard cock pressed against the material of our jeans. He kneaded my breast as he trailed a mix of hard and soft kisses down my neck. I shrugged my jacket off. Dean ran a hand up my back and pulled my shirt over my head. He dug his fingers in my skin as he flipped me on my back. I worked with both hands to unbutton and slide his jeans down and he kicked them off.
He pulled my jeans down and threw them with his.
I grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled it over his head. His mouth found my shoulder as he kissed then gently raked his teeth against my skin. I let out a little sigh and pushed my fingertips through his dirty hair. He carefully took my arms over my head and pinned my wrists to the damp earth with one hand.
He pushed my knees apart with one leg. He looked me in the face, I nodded starting into the unnatural green eyes. He let go of my wrists and trailed his fingers down my side, sending chills and raising goose bumps.
Dean grabbed my hips and lifted my ass a little. He pushed his dick inside of me. He pressed his fingers into the concave of my hip and held on to me.
He was not gentle as he rammed himself inside me harder and harder.
It had been a very long time since I had sex with anyone, even before falling into monsterland. I let a sigh out and then a moan that started in deep in my chest. I could feel the blood flowing to the surface of my skin, as he dragged his against mine. It felt like every nerve ending awakened spreading like a wildfire through my body.
It didn't take long for the building sensation to get stronger inside of my stomach. My muscles tightened and my heart pushed itself to go harder as Dean picked up speed and went deeper. I dug my fingers into his skin. He put his lips next to my ear and shushed me.
I let out a little cry and tried to keep quiet by burying my mouth into his shoulder. Dean let a small laugh out as I arched my back and moaned involuntarily. I could feel every wave of pleasure wash over me and tried to fight them so I didn't come too soon.
I felt my body begin to betray me as I slipped over the edge and orgasm harder than I expected to.
Dean kept pushed and pulling until he came inside of me.
He hovered over me and dipped his head. He looked at me and kissed me once more. He carefully pulled out and collapsed on the dirt.
"Wow." I said breathlessly. I looked over at him. Dean turned and smiled.
"Right." He grinned even bigger.
"Thought y' all were going to sleep not fornicate?" Benny said as he leaned into the cave.
