Jane looked around the room, it was small and not exactly the Ritz, but it seemed comfortable. Hoyt was over with his apprentice talking about whatever, that Jane really didn't want to know yet.
'why hasn't Maura gotten me yet?' Jane wondered, she knew Maura would be ripping people apart just to find her, she hoped she wasn't and that Vicki had calmed her down. But the thing that was bothering her the most was that Maura and her had a connection if Maura was hurt Jane could feel it slightly, even if she was at the other end of the world. But for a vampire apparently its worse, whatever her mate feels she feels just the same. 'So why isn't she here yet?' Jane wondered whilst trying to get out of her cuffs and bindings that Hoyt placed her in.
"Ah now now now Janie, you keep still and perfect, I don't want those cuffs chafing on you and leaving you with marks. I have such great plans for us to stay together forever." Hoyt said making sure he got closer to Jane with every syllable.
Jane narrowed her eyes and looked Hoyt straight in the eye, "yeah like what?" Hoyt laughed and turned away to head back to his apprentice.
"oh you'll see Janie, you'll see" That's when Jane noticed the brightly coloured yellow smoke coming from what looked like a science contraption. Then with a poof of more different coloured smoked poured out. Jane tried to figure out what the apprentice was doing until she heard a click. She turned her head and looked at her arm.
"what the hell when was I..." Jane was hooked up to an IV drip with had been modified to give Jane sedatives on a timer. Hoyt looked over at the Sleeping Jane, he wandered over and placed hand on her neck.
"oh how I wish I could complete my finest work, but unfortunately other plans have come along my Janie." with that Hoyt smiled whilst his apprentice looked on.
Meanwhile...
Over at Vicki's after the initial shock of Maura, everyone had calmed down. Frost got over his shock and they were all crowed round the booth Jane and Maura usually sit at. Vicki went to the door and locked it turning over the open sign to closed then came to join them grabbing her history book, having a feeling she might need to explain things again.
"Right tell me what the hell is going on?" Frost now completely over the shock looked over at Maura and Vicki. Maura sighed whilst Vicki comically opened to the correct page in her book.
"You know I'm a vampire, well in my world there are vampire's, werewolves' and ghosts. We are all living underground or in secret and I'm one of the oldest. I came to Boston to sort out a problem with one of the wolf clans." Maura was interrupted by Korsak.
"the so called 'animal attacks' I presume?" Korsak who was not looking at Maura at all was now looking at her straight in the eye.
Maura nodded sadly, "It wasn't their fault, they were infected by a virus which made them rabid and unable to change back into human form, that how I met Jane, she was walking home from meeting you guys for drinks when I saved her from such an attack. We connected something I haven't felt in over a 1000 years, I couldn't explain it. Anyways I blanked her memory so she would be safe, that is until my father posted me at BPD and she started to remember everything that happened. Turns out we were mates."
"and what is that exactly?" Frost eyed her suspiciously. Maura turned to Vicki who could best explain it.
"Well since the dawn the time, every now and again two supers, supernatural creatures, find each other at a time when an event of great importance happens, they connect making them mates. They find out the answer to such an event and then they die. They don't live very long." Vicki said solemnly coming to the conclusion that maybe the werewolf virus wasn't the event the two current mates were supposed to have ultimately have solved.
Korsak with wide eyes then looked straight into Maura's eyes with a fierceness, "So what your saying is Jane could die, because she hooked up with you?" as Maura was about to lunge at Korsak again Vicki put her arm out to stop her and opened her mouth to explain.
"No, you're a detective look over what I just told you and what is the difference between history and now?" Korsak sat back at Vicki's question and then it dawned on him. Jane isn't supernatural. Vicki nodded. "I have been trying to figure out how Maura and Jane even have this connection considering she isn't a supernatural creature, she may have been descendant of one but, I don't see that as a reason." Korsak and Frost looked at each other and raised an eyebrow, Vicki noticed and sighed rolling her eyes. "For the love of Pete, right I'll tell the story from the beginning."
Vicki explained the story of Romulus and Reamus, the wolves, the vampires and all their history up until now. After a couple of hours and a few beers later, both Korsak and Frost were practically experts in supers history. Maura getting more agitated by the second looked up at the two detectives with pleading eyes.
"Listen I don't care if you don't trust me, humans naturally don't anyways. But please help me find Jane its hurting me that I can't find. Normally I would be able to, but something is stopping me connecting with her. I need your help, because even though she and I are mates, I still don't know everything about her history because of the walls she has built." Korsak saw the look of desperation in Maura's eyes and sighed, knowing that it was his call and Frost in this position would do whatever he said.
Korsak looked over to Maura, "we'll find her, together. Even on our own we wouldn't be much use as we don't know this world as well as you two do and the extra resources and power might help." Maura slowly put her hands over Korsak's and smiled her thanks and gratitude. That's when Korsak saw the need in her eye, even though he wanted to protect Jane and it felt like a natural instinct at the time. He knew at that point Maura would die for her and do anything to get to her.
"Right, I'm thinking I get all my books out and you lot can start skipping through them. I have about 100 books so this will be fun. Maura why don't you and Korsak examine Jane's life in minutely boring detail whilst we work. Also the bar is free if you want it." Vicki said that last part with disdain, she has never held a free bar ever.
"yesss..." Frost punched the air whilst Vicki rolled her eyes. That's why she never held a free bar.
"Don't go mad or you'll put me out of business." Frost smiled and shrugged.
"well unless you wanna go to jail for hacking..." Vicki gave a mock expression of shock, whilst both of them headed to the backroom for the book.
"I told, I was looking for a really hot girl. Wouldn't you do the same" Vicki said in an high pitched tone. As the youngest of the group went of Maura got up and headed for the bar. Korsak was watching her.
"I thought vampires don't drink?" as Korsak said this Maura went into her own fridge behind the bar and pulled out a blood bag.
"We don't." Korsak looked shocked whilst Maura shook her head. "Listen this is my nature and if it makes you feel better, this is donated and Jane promised not to feed on anyone else unless it was her or the blood bags." Korsak shuddered whilst Maura grinned and sat back down.
"So I think this is gunna be a long night..." Korsak sighed, Maura sucking on her bloodbag nodded.
"Don't worry if you fall asleep I can stay up. We'll find her Korsak." Korsak nodded and flipped open his notebook. They started to chart Jane's life in detail as much as they could, whilst the two youngest bickered over the history books well into the night.
