Chapter 1
Leaving work late, Anjl shakes her head mumbling to herself "I don't see why that asshole can't figure out I don't want to keep playing these games." Walking quickly down the dark alley, she hears a noise behind her then turns to see three people walking up behind her, fast. As they near her she smells baby powder and these guys seem a little pale. Knowing she can't outrun them she stops and prepares herself. Keeping her eyes on them as they surround her, she takes an immediate fighting stance. One of the guys laughs at her "You think you stand a chance against us human?" A smirk plays at the corner of her lips as she speaks clearly "What makes you think you stand a chance against me?" And then it's on.
She kicks out at the first one while ducking the other ones grasp. Catching the third one in an uppercut. Thank God for her training or she'd be screwed. Fists and feet flying as she punishes her attackers. Then she feels a strong arm come around her throat, her head wrenched back as she tries to break the hold. Realizing she can't, real fear starts to enter her mind. "You were saying bitch?" A sweet breath caresses her cheek as she shudders. Meeting the eyes of the two men standing across from her, licking their lips like they just found a precious treat. "Fuck you asshole!" She says, her voice going weak as he tightens the hold on her throat.
The one across from her pulling out a silver blade of some sort, her eyes watching as the dim light of the moon flashes across the metal. "Now it's time to teach you a lesson little girl." The man with the knife says as he smirks.
Vishous hears the scuffle and makes haste for the alleyway, thinking his brothers are laying waste to some lessers. When he enters the mouth of the alley he realizes it's a human and a female at that. Seeing her go up against those lessers, watching as she kicks, ducks and fights with everything she has, is like watching a warrior, that is until one grabs her by the throat. Vishous stalks down the alley, his daggers palmed and a menacing look on his face. The lessers are so involved with the woman, they don't see him coming. Just as Vishous gets near them, one pulls out a knife and stabs the woman. A loud growl echos off the walls as Vishous attacks. Dispensing the first lesser as he stares down the other two. "Drop the woman asshole" Vishous states in a low voice. The lesser tosses the woman away as he squares off with his partner against Vishous.
Anjl sees the man move then feels the burning of the knife slicing into her flesh. Hearing a roar, she turns her head to see a huge man walking towards them, his eyes sparkling like stars in a midnight sky. She sees him take out the first man then his gaze falls onto her, seeing right through her. He tells the man to drop her and the man tosses her aside, her head making contact with the building.. hard. The last thing she sees before she passes out is the hulk of a man dispensing the two men. Wait, did they just disappear? Must be the blood loss, I have to be hallucinating.
Vishous kills the other lessers the kneels down next to the unconscious , bleeding woman. Checking to make sure she's still alive he curses at the blood seaping from her stab wound. Grabbing his phone he calls Manello. "Hey man I need you to meet me at the penthouse" "Everything ok V?" Manello says as V hears the doc getting his gear ready. "Yeah, I have a human here with a stab wound, I need you to fix her up" Manello's sharp intake of breath before speaking "V man call 911, what the hell are you going to do with her?" "Don't worry about it doc, just get your ass there..true?" "I'm on my way man." Hanging up the phone, and picking up the unconscious woman, Vishous dematerializes to his penthouse. Turning the lights on low with his mind, V gently lays the woman on his bed.
Grabbing a clean towel, he lifts her shirt, exposing her soft warm flesh that is currently covered in blood. Cleaning the wound gently then pressing down on it as it doesn't seem to want to stop bleeding. Hearing a solid knock on the door, V releases the lock with his mind then yells "Come in."
Dr. Manny Manello walks in, carrying his medical bag and giving V a frustrated look. "What the hell are you thinking?"
Setting his medical bag on the bed as he touches the wound he hears a low growl. Looking up at Vishous with a shocked expression on his normally stoic face. "Really V? Cut the shit and let me take care of her." V steps to the bar and grabs a bottle of Goose, pouring himself a glass then quickly downing half of it as he watches the doctor work. Manny cleanes the wound some more before stitching the woman up. Checking the lump on her head before looking up at Vishous. "She doesn't seem to have been stabbed deep, I stitched her up. That bump on her head is pretty bad though. She should be at the hospital getting a cat scan."
Vishous walks over to the bed and looks down at the woman, a strange feeling coming over him, then looks at Manny. "She'll be fine here. I will watch out for her" he states in a tone that says there's nothing more to be said.
"Okay man, but you have my professional opinion. If you need anything just let me know." Manny packs up his equipment and heads to the door "I hope you know what you're doing man." Shaking his head he walks out the door.
Vishous grabs his glass of Goose, pulls up a chair and stares at the woman laying on his bed, knowing that something is pulling him toward her but not knowing what. Mumbling to himself "what the fuck am I doing with her?"
