A/N: This story just came to me while I was thinking, "what if…?''. Yea, I know. Bad idea but, it's not as bad as it sounds. So, if something doesn't make any sense, let me know and I'll do my best to clarify it. For this Fan Fiction to work, Nuada and Nuala were brought back to life by one of the agents for questioning. (More on that later.) Nuada is under interrogation by the BPRD and Nuala is living in one of the spare bedrooms by the library. Hellboy, Liz (just had her twins), Abe and still work there. OK. Here we go…Oh and, this is my first Fan Fiction. So please, be nice. =) ~ Kivanfangirl

Amazon Travel: Getting to Safety

She ran with her remaining three sisters. The only people whom she had left to trust her life with, the only people who were alive from her tribe. They were wearing skin tight red leather that covered only their chests and mid-drift and brown skinned leather boots that gave them swift speed, as they ran hastily through the vampire infested forest. Every where they looked, male vampires with torches and arrows, burned anything and everything in their sight. She cursed under her breath as she began to lose sight of her sisters. Screams echoed through the midnight air as she heard the vampires surround two of her fallen sisters. She couldn't save them even if she wanted to. No female, no matter how strong or good spirited they were, would be able to survive the bite of a vampire. Once you were bitten, you were as good as dead. She turned her head as she heard her name being called.

"Amber! We need to get out of here and now!"

She nodded at her sister's words but had no idea what to tell her."I know Samantha, but where would we go?''

Samantha thought for a minute. She knew full well that they couldn't go back and facing them alone was defiantly out of the question. She had to think of a way to stall them and get away. Then she remembered that the monk monastery had a hidden get away of some sort. Not to mention, that there was a magical barrier around the temple. So they should be safe there.

It seamed rather ironic, really. The elder monk, Master Ivan, wanted his most faithful to surpass death and serve the monastery for all eternity. He created a spell that would grant his followers eternal life. By doing so, he cursed the very people he cared for. Those who went through the transformation were turned in pale beings that preyed on the living, vampires. They fled the monastery in search for blood. At day they appear to be normal men but at night, nightmares came to life behind shadows. Now, only a handful of his followers were alive and fewer stayed at the temple. It was a risky idea but, they were the only Amazons left and they had to give it a try, even if it meant leaving everything they knew.

Samantha turned towards Amber again, "Amber, do you remember the way to the Temple of Lir? ''

The tall black haired woman nodded, "Of coarse I do, why ask?''

''Well, I was thinking. If we can't fight them or go back, then we should get away.''

Amber's eyes went wide with anger, exclaimed, "What? Are you saying that we should leave our homeland and act like cowards and run away? I will not have our lives entrusted with the very men who are responsible for this. Do you honestly think that they would listen to us?"

Samantha cringes. "I know that you don't like the idea but we have no other choice. Would you rather die here? ''

"No. Yet, I would rather fight and protect our homes than run away."

"Yes, I understand that but, we must go there if we are to survive this. They will listen to me, they must."

Amber nodded her head in agreement. Even though their Amazon Queen was dead, her daughter was still alive and now had the responsibility to carry on her role and for her to protect Samantha with her life. She knew very well that Samantha never really wanted the crown but, she also knew that Samantha would protect her people, even if it coasted her life.

They made their way out of the forest and ran up the monastery stairs. They were greeted by a short man in red robes. Samantha bowed before him and had to elbow Amber to get her to bow as well to the monk. Amber gave Samantha a dark glare and Samantha matched it. Samantha stepped forward a little to speak, her long Irish red hair swaying loosely around her waist.

"We wish to speak to your master, now." she said in a calm voice.

The monk calmly placed his hands together and lowered his head slightly at them, "Oh, I am sorry. Master Ivan is busy at the moment. He does not wish to receive visitors at the present point in time."

Amber quickly became enraged by his words. Enough was enough! She pulled out her Bastard Sword and aimed it just under his head, making it rather easy for her to cut off his head with the slightest effort. "Damnit! In the name of Tempestia take us to Ivan or I will personally send you to the Underworld! All of our sisters and family are dead now because he wanted to keep his followers alive. Now, if you don't want to join them, I suggest you take us to him. NOW!"

Fear of death crossed his mind and he gave her a slight nod. She lets him go and seethed her weapon. "Much better." Amber watched the monk scurry forward to lead them to the chambers of his master. She stole a glance from Samantha and saw that she was clearly not happy with how she handled the situation.

Amber shakes her head at Samantha and walks off to follow the monk. She looks behind her for a moment as she speaks to Samantha while they walk."You know as well as I do, that intimidation is the only way to get any where with these monks….or any man we encounter."

Samantha lets out a small sigh while looking down sadly, replied, "I understand that but…"

They stopped in the middle of the candle lit hall way. Amber turns to face Samantha with a serious look in her eyes.

"Know this, Samantha. Just because you have a soft spot for defenseless people, doesn't mean you can let them take advantage of you. If Queen Salieana was still here..."

Samantha glares harshly at Amber, "Do not talk about my mother and compare her life with mine! You have no right to talk about her, nor does anyone else for that matter. My mother was nothing more but a fake who abused her power, and look what happened to her. She was one of the first to fall because she thought she could fight them but no. She died knowing that her greed for war was her undoing. I will make my own path, my own way. I refuse to be compared with someone as low as my mother!"

"Forgive me, Lady Samantha but you must face reality here. You are the daughter of the Amazons. The blood of the strongest women in our tribe flows through your vary veins. If you deny your given path, your roll given to you as a birth rite, you dishonor your family and your people."

With that, Amber turns around and continues to walk quickly to catch up with the monk. Samantha took a deep breath with her eyes closed. Deep down, she knew everything that Amber said was true. It was her rite to be the next queen of the Amazons; it was her duty to see that her people would be safe. However, with only her and Amber left, it was very likely that it would end with them. As much as she understood her new responsibilities, she wished that she could change it. She adjusted her bow over her next shoulder and pulled her sword out of her seethe. Samantha gazed at her weapon. She was taught how to fight ever since she was five years of age. Never in her life had she been afraid to die or fight for a just cause. Yet, now the idea of death was the one thing that she would avoid at all coasts. A loud crashing noise shook her out of her thoughts.

Samantha looked behind her and saw that the main gate was being pounded on by the vampires. She ran up next to Amber and informed her that the gate was about to breached.

Amber rolled her eyes," Oh, how lovely. They followed us. ", she said sarcastically.

The monk stopped them at a bronze door that gave off the smell of Jasmine incents. He opened the door very slowly as both Amber and Samantha stood patiently in the door way.

Inside the room, an old man with tan robes sat in the middle of a black circle. Candles were lit all around him, as he prayed under his breath. Amber stormed into the room with Samantha behind her. The monk that led them there kneeled to the ground and prayed that his master will not punish him form disturbing his mediation.

Master Ivan concentrated his energy on his followers and ignored his surroundings. He could feel the surge of power from his people, his creations, and his master pieces. An evil grin crosses his face as he could hear their voices clearly in his mind.

We have come for you!

End us or you shall join our fate!

Amber puts her hands on her hips and stares at the head monk. She sees him in a daze. He hasn't even recognized that she and Samantha were there.

"HEY! IVAN, CAN YOU HEAR ME?"

Still, no response. She looks to Samantha for support. Samantha nods and Amber stands back a little. Samantha pulls out her bow and an arrow. She aims it a little to the right. The arrow passes right by his face, nearly cutting through his throat. Ivan snaps out of his concentration and glares at Samantha.

Samantha pulls out another arrow and aims it at him with a serious look in her eyes, "That was a warning shot. Next time, I won't miss."

Ivan points an accusing finger at Samantha "YOU! WHAT HAVE YOU DONE?"

"Me? You're the one who has started this whole mess! "

"Ah yes, my people are rather impressive, aren't they?"

"NO! They came into our tribe and killed our people! Amber and I are the only ones left. Call them off, now!"

Ivan crosses his arms and shook his head at her, "Unfortunately, there is only one way to stop them and you simply cannot do it."

Amber places a hand on the hilt of her blade, challenged, "Try me."

"Well, you'd have to kill me. None may harm me as long as I remain within these walls. "

This was going nowhere. Samantha had to think of something and quickly.

"Fine! But we need to get out of here and fast. Is there a way to escape?"

"Of course. In the back room, there is a portal that leads to another world. I must warn you though, before you enter, choose the ones whom you trust carefully. There is more to that world than it seems."

A loud banging noise sounds from the main gate as screams echo from the halls. Ivan opens his arms and looks to the ceiling.

"Come to me, my pets!"

Amber and Samantha rush to the back room and they close the door tightly. To the far end of the room, a blue arch gives off a glowing light. Samantha hesitates for a few minutes but is quickly pulled by Amber.

"Come on! We have to leave."

"Hold on."

"What now?"

Samantha pulls out two glass flasks and tosses them onto the ground. Amber nods in understanding. The fire would prevent the vampires to follow them by surrounding themselves with it before they left.

"Ok, on the count of three," she grabs a torch from the wall," we jump in the portal."

"Understood."

"1, 2...3!"

Samantha throws the torch to the ground and they both jump into the portal.

Meanwhile…

15:30

In the BPRD Headquarters, Nuada is in an interrogation room. With no weapons on, hand cuffed to a metal chair by the ankles and wrist and only his leather pants black, undershirt and boots on. For the past two months, the government has been trying to pry information from Nuada. Since they know about his hatred towards humans, they wanted to make sure that he was unarmed. They could talk to Nuala but, they found out that after they brought them back from the dead, they lost their connection but only retained fragments of their shared memory. So, they had to do things the hard way.

Everyday they asked him the same questions and after every day, he wished that something different would happen. Anything to stop the pointless questioning.

Suddenly, the lights began to flicker and the room shook with rage as the glass windows broke. Power was lost everywhere in New Jersey. Agents scurried around to find the source of the problem. Earthquakes don't occur in New Jersey so, something must have happened.

Nuada was quickly let out of the handcuffs and escorted to his room as the agency went to find out what happened.

A/N: So, what do you think so far? I know its kind of lame but I'm a first timer at this. Oh, by the way, I saved those handcuffs for later! *wink*: D
