Summary/disclaimer: Time for another chapter of Waltz of Life. Enjoy the 900-word chapter. I don't own Vampair, Daria Cohen does.
Thorin ducked a swing of Missi's cane before he fired a shot at her, he missed and cursed as the bullet slammed into the wall, he was thankful the castle would repair the damage.
He was thrown to the ground and he sweep her feet out from under her.
"You might be fast, but you not better… You haven't had my uncle's cane but for a few days, he's had it for centuries." Thorin said as he dusted his cloak off and leapt back to the other side of the room.
"Said the one who hasn't even heard the entire story." Missi said as she climbed to her feet. Thorin leaned on Umbra.
"You can tell me why my uncle is sitting outside his own manor, in the rain. Your sitting right here with his cane, the thing that corrupts anyone who touches it… And only Duke can control that power." Thorin said as Missi twirled the cane in her hand.
"Well, your right about that." Missi purred as she rushed at Thorin before he ducked it and then blocked the kick at him with his gauntleted hand.
"Well, someone's adjusting to the power… But I still don't know you." Thorin said before he flipped away and then slid back to the middle of the room and then he tapped Umbra on the floor.
"My uncle is a jerk, there's no doubt about that. You want to point out he did something like that, I'll easily believe you… But if you have that cane, that means he died at least once." Thorin said, looking into the rain, he felt the ribbon go at his arm and tugged at it.
Missi slid back to the middle of the room as she smirked at Thorin as he walked into the middle of the room.
"How did you know that?" Missi asked, the door opened and Duke poked his head in, Missi turned to glare at him with hate and then Thorin knocked her off her feet with a sweep kick.
"Because Duke would never put the cane down unless he was ash, he'd rather die…." Thorin said, Missi looked at Duke and sighed.
Then she smirked and turned into a flock of bats, Thorin growled and followed them into the house before he found her in the library.
"Your beaten, Missi… Cane, my hand, or spill what happened." Thorin said, Missi knocked a book off the shelf and started to read it.
"Is your uncle someone who likes people like me?" Missi asked, Thorin blinked and then sighed.
"Oh, damn its old man… Well, at least I know." Thorin muttered before Missi slammed him into the bookshelf. Duke looked into the room as Thorin tore his helmet from his head and the hood off his head.
Thorin looked at Missi with similar crimson eyes and fanged teeth.
"You really are addicted to the power; I can see it in your eyes…" Thorin chuckled and laughed as Thorin turned to look at Duke before Missi growled and then laughed.
"Well, let me show you power…." Missi said as her shadow consumed her and then rushed at Missi. Duke dived out of the way as the shadow demolished the wall.
"And let you show you who I am, Missi…" Thorin said as he tapped the bookcase, it split open and 4 shadowy monsters which resembled bat like monsters and pinned her to the ground. Thorin dropped to the ground.
"You know, I've seen that cane trade hands a lot of times in my life and I've seen them all get consumed by the power… But you've become used to the power, and in such a few days… That's the most impressive control of power I've ever seen…" Thorin said.
"Well, you would be to if you wanted to get back at someone who chased you around, wanted you to be his bride and destroyed your book." Missi said as Thorin sighed and snapped his fingers.
"Back, 4 Darklings aren't needed at the moment, back to your den." Thorin muttered, the Darklings bowed and vanished. Missi looked at him as she brushed off her dress.
"And you probably came in thinking his house was abandoned and I don't even want to know what the book is." Thorin muttered and then he turned and looked out the window.
"Besides, I know my uncle, he's a jerk and a jackass… But he's not somebody to flirt so much as mess with people… And now I'm interested in how you can have so much power for someone who's only had the cane for a few days." Thorin said, Duke walked back in.
"You're playing with fire, Missi… That cane has corrupted people, my uncle doesn't just want that cane back because it's his… But because you can't command that power…" Thorin said, Missi looked at him.
He didn't trust the smirk in her eyes. He sighed.
Author Notes
Phew, another chapter done! I am loving this series and I want to point out I'll have to expand on Missi and the others because I know next to nothing about Missi and the others. Next chapter will be next Tuesday or so and will show Thorin talking to Duke and will show the main villain. Until then, Lighting Wolf out!
