Hey, everyone. Did you not enjoy the first chapter? I wish I had gotten some reviews, if I don't get any for this one, I might have to consider not finishing it. Please review. Ok, I do not own Tin Man, Nor The World is a Vampire, that song belongs to Smashing Pumpkins. I don't own anything. Hope you enjoy this chapter. I enjoyed writing it.
Chapter one: Blood
Blood, it was everywhere, on the walls, carpet, and my hands. It was a deep crimson, and it was all over my body. And it wasn't from this kill; there was blood from every killing, every murder that I committed. Sure I was a tin man for the Queen, doesn't mean I don't die a little seeing this much blood. I hated blood.
"Cain! What the fuck went on in there?" My officer yelled at me. He was a twenty-two year old prick. The queen gave me my old job alright, but from where I first started. For the past two years I had taken orders from jackass's that tried to control me. One day I will kill them. I ignored the asshole and went to the river. I tried to wash the blood off my hands but dammit they had already stained. "Cain! If you don't listen up you mother-"
"Prick, I would suggest not bringing my mother in this." I placed my hat on my head. I gave him a glare. "Or you might not wake up tomorrow." I shrugged past him. He huffed and chased after me.
"You cannot kill people like that, Cain. Do you want to start at the bottom again? Cause I swear I will not hesitate to stick your ass there again." He had done it three times, but I had always reached this place. Sadly, I couldn't get past him. "Now tell me what went on."
"Well boss, they were building a machine to bring back the lost princess, couldn't allow that." I rubbed my hands, trying but failing to get out of my mess.
"And pray tell why that is such a bad thing?" I turned towards him. He had the smuggest face on, and I wanted to hit him.
"Well…Well…Well…" I pulled out my phone calling the resistance. "Hey, did you get that message?" I had been keeping an eye out on this ass and I knew he would slip up. The queen had loved her daughter and kept making machines. She had gone crazy. That's when I joined the resistance. We swore that we would destroy everything that might bring her back before she was ready. It had been two years since DG left and she still hadn't called me. She never wanted to see us again, me again.
"Yes, Congratulations Cain, you just got promoted. Get a team together, you have a job already. Weather machine located in Milltown, go and destroy it." I closed the phone and started walking. When I got to my troop they were already heading out, bringing in the prick.
"We are tired of your attitude, Prick, you've just been demoted." I yanked his medal off his jacket and clipped it to mine. Everyone cheered and shoved that ass out side. "Ok, whose got a strategy, we are about to go into war. Hell we are at war, ever since Princess DG has left. WE have lost our queen; we have found another location of a weather machine. It's in Milltown, that's where Princess DG's android parents live. This is the mother load, we can't afford mistakes. Who's ready?" I smiled at my team. The world is a vampire.
"Go…Go…Go!" Sent to drain. "Ryan, watch your back!' I yelled as we gassed the place. We turned on our gun lights, and our masks. Secret destroyers, hold you up to the flames. "Go!" I pointed to the people trying to turn on the machine. Her parents were there. "Those two, capture not kill, I want them alive." And what do I get, for my pain? I saw a guy heading towards me and I pulled out my gun and shoot him. Betrayed desires, and a piece of the game. Even though I know-I suppose I'll show. All my cool and cold-like old job. I was through my second man when a third one got in my face. I turned quickly and shot him in the face. His blood splattered across my face. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage.
Someone punched me in the face and I lost my gun. I turned around and saw my men fighting. Commander Ryan was throwing knives; Kevin was getting the parents out. The other ten were fighting. I punched my attacker in the face. He went onto the floor. I followed him and punched again. Now I'm naked, nothing but an animal. After a hundred hits, his face had smashed into his brain, killing him instantly. My hands were the color of crimson. There were droplets, and when his head caved in it splattered all over my face. That was two different people's blood on my face, and I was ready for a third one when someone attacked me from behind. I flipped him over and stabbed him with my knife; technically I gutted him that was three. Four, when the man across the room suddenly met a terrible fate when my knife stabbed into his chest. He toppled over in agony, and I smiled. And what do you want, I want to change. And what have you got. When you feel the same. Even though I know-I suppose I'll show. All my cool and cold-like old job.
This was the best part of the job; it didn't require me to think that much. When I had time to think everything came back to me. My wife, my son, and DG, DG, I sighed. She was an amazing girl and I missed her. She was annoying, and stubborn, why did I become friends with her? Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved. When a man headed towards me I did a spin and slit his throat, my backside didn't get all the blood though, and his blood came down on my face lie a wave. It rose and crashed down, I tasted the metallic blood on my lips. Five, six, seven, they came down like flies. I pulled out another knife when two idiots thought they could defeat me with double. I stabbed them both in the stomach and sliced. It was bloody.
"Captain, Watch out!" Ryan yelled at me. Two people had snuck up on me. They rid me of my knives and any other weapons. Then they threw me in a stupid cage. One pulled out his device and called someone. "We got the captain, and you will never guess who he is." They laughed and walked away. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. I looked around and saw that they had my men in cages. I yelled and punched my fist against the bars. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Then someone will say what is lost can never be saved. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage .Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. Despite all my rage I am still just a rat in a cage. I didn't stop until I think I could see my bone. The cell was bloody, I didn't give a damn. "Hey you, stop, we can't let the princess see you this way." They smirked. They opened the cage and shock me with electricity until I am fully out.
I awoke in my cage. They had shaven my hair off back to a buzz cut, they had cleaned up my body, getting the blood off of everything, Oh and I was fully naked. "Hey you sick bastards, what happened to my clothes?" I yelled. I heard my men laughing from their cages, and they were pointing. "Hey! Did you get a good look? Shield your eyes men and women." The men followed their orders and looked away, the women did not. Instead they whispered.
"It's so huge." They giggled. I blushed and looked for something to cover me. "Look at that firm butt." I found my hat, and I placed it over my bottom half and sat down so they couldn't ogle my butt anymore. Our captors came in with my clothes fully cleaned. "Wouldn't want the princess seeing you bloody, we need you to look your best." Hey threw them at me and I turned to but them on, I heard giggles coming from my team. I dressed real quick and turned around. They had opened the cage door and they escorted me out of my cage. "Type in those coordinates, we need him to go." They started the machine and when the tornado started, the men smiled. They pushed me in; I refused to scream, even though my chest was being crushed by the wind.
I landed on my butt, and I turned to rub it. "Ow." I looked up and I was blinded by the sun. "What the heck, how is it morning? We attacked at sunset." I twisted my head and looked around. There was an old farm house with a broken down windmill. It was a desert out here and my lips were already dried out. I stood up and pushed the dust off of my pants. "Where the heck am I?" I bent down and picked up my fallen hat. I heard a slamming of a door and looked up as I hid behind the windmill. There was a lady coming out of the house in a blue and white dress. It had barely reached her knees. Her hair was tied back and she was heading towards a motorcycle. I looked at her face and recognized her black hair with bangs, and her dazzling blue eyes, they had haunted me in my sleep for two years. It was Princess DG.
I had followed her, I had found a beat up old pick up truck, must have been her fathers. She was driving way to fast and soon she was pulled over by a Tin Man. I parked the car far behind and snuck up to the car. "Officer was I speeding?" Yes. I thought. I looked in the car and saw that DG was stroking his hand. He was groaning and leaned in for a kiss. "Nick, we don't have time to do it here. I am already late for work." She knew this man.
"I know and technically I am on duty right now, but I had to tell you I had fun last night." He grinned at her and kissed her again. "I have fun every night." She giggled and they kissed once more. How dare she kiss a man three times?
"I love you." She sighed and moved back. She was twisting something on her finger, an engagement ring, or at least that was what I had hoped. This Nick said 'I love you too' and left. I ran back to the car and waited for her to move again. When she did I started it and followed her to a diner. When she went in I waited for a few minutes and then went in again. I made sure my hat was over my face and sat in a booth.
DG POV
"So what happened last night?" My friend, Jezebel asked. I lifted my hand to show off my engagement ring and we both giggled. "Girl, that ring is huge!" The cook said in the back causing me to giggle again. I went to the back to get my note pad and when I returned Jez was staring wide eyed.
"Hun, what is it?" She turned and pointed to a man sitting in a booth. "Do you know who that is?" I asked handing out food to a customer.
"No, but I wish I did. Woo Hoo he is one sexy man." She whistled. "He is like a real life Indiana Jones. Bet he would be amazing in bed." I giggled when she said that. How she described the man sounded like Cain. "Girl, do you want to trade? He sat in your route." I shake my head no and head towards the table.
"Hello sir, what can I get you?" I asked he slightly looked up but not fully. "Eggs" He grumbled. I went to fill his order and when I came back a surprising scene greeted me. "Nick!" I yelled when I saw that he had pulled a gun to the guest.
"He was following you Dorothy." He looked at me. The stranger took his opportunity to take Nick's gun away. "Do you know sir that it is against the law to pull a gun on an officer?" I asked, hoping the stranger wouldn't hurt my fiancée.
"Do you know it is against the law to pull a gun on a Tin Man?" He asked taking his hat off, I gasped. "Or how about not calling a friend who helped you escape from someplace you hated, or do you not remember me?" I ran to him and hugged him. It was so familiar, it felt so good. I could feel his muscles. I felt him tighten one arm around me.
"You know you can lower the gun?" I teased him. He laughed and gave Nick his gun back. Nick however pulled it back up and pointed it at my friends face. "Nick! Don't you dare, he is also a cop."
"He said Tin Man." I nodded.
"That's what the policemen are called where he is from." I never let go of him.
"I would never hurt your fiancée, Deeg; I care too much about you." My eyes almost filled up with tears. I touched his cheek and leaned up to kiss it.
"I missed you too Cain."
