Yay I gots a review and it made me get my butt in gear to do chapter 2 finally Lol!!! I've updated chapter one a bit so that it will be a bit longer and make more sense! But here's Chapter 2! Thanks to Delilah von Lohengrin for her review! ^____^
***
Pierce felt the bullet fly past his ear and ring his eardrums. Someone cried out in pain behind him. He glared at the female Lycan.
"You BITCH!" He snarled.
Suddenly everyone seemed to moving at one time, aiming the guns, the Lycans had their guns aimed at the Death Dealer before anyone could blink. But Pierce could care less, his anger was directed solely at Nova.
"I'm gonna rip your ass apart for letting that shot off in my ear you bitch!"
Nova grinned. "Bring it on then puppy-dog!" She prompted with a lick of her lips. "It's been a while since I've had a good, worthwhile fight!"
"You'll have more than a good fight by the time I get through with you!" He seethed as they squared off.
Helena chuckled half heartedly with a smirk as she simply watched the chaos ensuing around her. "Hey, if you get that lucky she's untouched goods!"
Nova gave them both a glare. "Too bad that won't happen. He won't have time to be lucky because in few minutes he'll be dead!" She shouted and began to empty her rounds at the fleeing Death Dealer.
The vampire began to play a deadly game of dodge the bullet as she emptied all 300 hundred of her automatic rounds. She "accidently" almost hit Pierce more than once as the vampire shot off some defensive rounds and went up the fire escape to the rooftop. Helena and Nova simply watched as Taylor prepared to go after him. Nova stopped him.
"Forget it. If he's thinks he has escaped up there then he's dead wrong. Keiko is up there so she'll slice him up-"
Nova barely finished her sentence before Pierce through her back into a brick wall. He pinned her with one hand to the neck, look more than just a bit pissed by the shade a blue-grey that his eyes had taken on. The pressure from his hand cut off her breathing considerably and she heard her collarbone crack with a wince. Struggling to gain at least a bit of oxygen back into her lungs, she clenched her teeth in attempt to quell the pain the entire backside of her body felt at the moment.
"I'm sick of you bitch!" He roared as an animalistic growl rumbled through his chest.
He grabbed her shirt and yanked her closer to his face, ripping the article of clothing in the process. 'Guess I picked the wrong day to not wear a bra…' She thought sourly.
Pierce pressed a finger into the tender flesh of her sensitive neck and her first instinctual reaction was a nasty snarl before she swung a hand at his face and slashed him with all five claws. Pierce returned the snarl with a roar as his teeth sharpened and he began to transform. Helena's eyes widened as Nova began to look as though she would transform also, Nova's usually violet-grey eyes clouding over.
Everyone paused as a bloody sword was swiftly pressed to Pierce's throat from above on the fire escape and the cool metal of a gun was felt at the back of his head. Helena held the gun but the five male Lycans looked up at the newcomer. Keiko stared passively back down at the enraged Lycan from her perch on the railing of the fire escape. Her sword, bloodied with vampire blood, was penetrating the bars of the fire escape floor to rest threateningly against Pierce's throat. While Helena had her gun to Pierce's head, Taylor had his to hers, just as swift as the female Lycan had predicted. The other Lycans took aim at the female delinquent above them and everyone was silently tense.
"…Remove your hands from her neck." Keiko said calmly. Her dark Asian eyes gleamed like quick silver in the moonlight and her face was cold and collected.
There was a silence and Pierce made no move to release Nova. He glared at the young girl darkly.
"Ladies and gentlemen, is this how you play nice? No matter what your gender, these are your brethren." The male voice came from behind them.
"Lucian…" One of the males said in shock.
Keiko stared at the newcomer, assessing him cautiously. There was the sound of metal ringing through the silence as Keiko removed her sword, sheathed it and stood. She gazed down ominously at Lucian and he stared back intently.
"Pierce…release the girl." He commanded.
Pierce stiffened at the order but reluctantly let go of Nova with a growl. She wisely didn't retaliate to his growl. Both of them were back to a more calmer state of mind. Helena immediately lowered her weapon when Nova was released as did everyone else. Lucian turned back up to Keiko and gave her a half smile.
"You must be Keiko."
Keiko leaped off the railing and landed gracefully in front of the Lycan master. His men tensed but he waved them off. Nova glared at the scene before her, not even bothering to fix her ruined shirt. 'Somehow I knew some shit like this would happen…It's ALWAYS like this with Mina!' She thought. Pierce had moved to the other side of the alley across from her to lean on the wall. He stared holes into her practically exposed breasts. It made her rather uncomfortable and he knew it so she glared.
Helena watched curiously as Keiko addressed Lucian. 'So this is Lucian? The Lucian?? My god…it makes me wonder what Mina really has gotten us into!' She thought.
"Mina would have come here in person but she got a bit sidetracked." Keiko said simply.
Nova twitched. 'Keiko was in on this too of course! That bitch is so dead next time I see her! She does this all the time! And somehow I'm always the last person to hear about it! I'm always like a pawn in her cunning little plans! Damn her!'
"Well this is just fucking great! Should 'a known Mina would pull a stunt like this!" Nova voiced in annoyance as she turned her back on the group with a pout.
Helena sighed. "Your acting like a child again Slay…."
"Shut the fuck up!" She snapped.
"Well you are…"
"I don't give two fucking halves of one shi-"
"LADIES!"
They both were quiet as Lucian interrupted. He gave them a meaningful gaze.
"Can we all do this without the unneeded violence…and language?" He said looking at Pierce and Nova specifically.
"Fine! I'm not even listening to this!" Nova glowered and walked out to lean on the dented street light at the mouth of the alley.
Pierce's hot gaze followed her menacingly as he growled slightly.
"Pierce." Lucian warned. "Leave her be."
He scoffed and leaned back against the wall more calmly and watched her sulk heatedly from there. Taylor was beside him, watching Helena hungrily. As Pierce's eyes travelled down Nova's backside he couldn't help but agree with her. 'What the hell is going on exactly? Lucian showing up randomly and without warning was a bit odd. Not to mention he seems to know the Asian chick. It seems like this was set up to some degree…And who the hell is Mina, their leader? She was mentioned twice already...'
The sound of a cell phone ringing caused everyone to look up at Nova. She frowned and answered silently. They could faintly hear the voice of another female on the other side. Nova grimaced.
"Yeah so says you…" She told the woman before turning and walking over to Lucian unhappily. She held out the sleek electronic device to him.
"It's for you."

Helena sighed as she watched Nova vent her frustrations out on the metal piping in the wall behind by denting them in with her fingers.
"Chill out Slay…" Helena grumbled lowly.
They were currently the center of attention and under the scrutiny of more than a dozen hungry male Lycans that were eyeing them. Nova wasn't helping with her temper tantrums.
"That's what I'm trying to do!" Nova snapped, as did the pole to which she had been abusing.
Pierce smirked at her from halfway across the room causing her usual glare back.
"The last place I want to be is in the lair of some low-life sewer dogs with bad flea infestations!" She hissed.
Helena winced. She didn't have to even look to feel the dirty looks that were being given to them. Keiko was still and silent next to her, ignoring them completely.
"Hn…he really set you off back there didn't he?" She said as she eyed Pierce and Taylor. "I haven't seen that look on your face in years." She continued.
"I'll rip his damn throat out!" Nova said coldly as she locked gazes with the male Lycan dangerously.
***Across the room***
Pierce had been watching her heatedly. He never took his eyes off of her and Taylor noticed.
"Guess it's too bad the boss showed up when he did, eh Pierce?" He said.
Pierce snorted as he watched the dark-haired girl rip holes into the metal piping behind her. She glared at him constantly with those violet-grey eyes. His eyes travelled down to her torn shirt. She had a jacket that helped cover her…somewhat anyways. She had a slim but definitely female figure, no matter how much of a tomboy she was. They listened as the red-head tried to get her to calm down. She was already drawing more attention with her, heh, "modified" shirt and the way those jeans fit her didn't help either.
'If Lucian hadn't shown up so unexpectedly in the alley I would've set her straight.' He thought. 'Would've set her real straight…everything except for the way she walked…or rather limped..' Pierce smirked at her. If he could just get her alone…
"The last place I want to be is in the lair of some low-life sewer dogs with bad flea infestations!" He heard her hiss.
The half of the pack that was in hearing distance glared darkly at them.
"Their leader better get here soon." Trix growled. "Or something bad is gonna happen to that smart-mouthed little cunt."
Taylor smirked. "That "something bad" is going to end up being Pierce. If Lucian hadn't come when he did…" He trailed off. He gazed at Helena longingly.
Feeling his stare she her green-eyed gaze to him. He smirked rather seductively and she raised an amused eyebrow.
"She likes you." Trix mused at the gesture.
Taylor smirked. "Well I like her too."
Keiko looked utterly bored beside her.
"They're all half breeds except for the red-head." Pierce said.
Keiko's dark gaze turned up to him slowly. She stared at him blankly. Her gaze was rather unnerving.
"Uhh, I think she heard you Pierce…" Trix whispered.
"So? What the fuck do I care? What is like nine...ten maybe? And a half-breed at that!" Pierce sneered at her.
"Actually Keiko is fourteen..and don't count her out just because she's half human either." Came another new female voice. They all turned swiftly and aimed their weapons at two new females that arrived. The one that spoke was a blonde, the other a dark haired girl. The dark haired one assessed their weapons in amusement.
"Paranoid bunch, eh Mina?"

Yay! Tell me what you think!
