Fourth instalment of the Halloween series.
Happy Halloween!
...
Hunter growled impatiently as she paced the foyer. The house was cold, there were no house elves to keep it warm, and the three new vampires still hadn't fucking returned!
Olia was becoming extremely annoyed, something that even frightened Hunter.
The more Olia became annoyed, the more frustrated Hunter became. Frustration was not a feeling she enjoyed. She was keeping most of her frustration at bay by thinking of how much she would enjoy killing them.
She could tie them to that dramatically large bed of theirs and kill them slowly, making them watch as she fucked each of them with her knives. She would drain them of their blood, and she would keep them alive throughout the entire process. She would even drink ...
No! I was specific in that you are not to taste them, Hunter, Olia's voice penetrated her fantasy abruptly.
Hunter growled at that, still not liking that condition of their deaths. One taste could not hurt.
It will hurt when you return, Olia promised in an icy tone.
Hunter pulled away, shivering at her Master's tone.
She would make sure they lived throughout their deaths, and then she would deliver their heads on silver fucking platters to her Master.
...
Ginevra, Blaise and Draco watched as Hunter paced their foyer, muttering to herself. They were beneath their Invisiblity Cloak, and this wasn't the first time they were using it to spy on someone.
Blaise glanced at Ginevra, grinning when he saw the blood on the corner of her mouth. They had barely finished their French dinner before Ginevra had complained again of Hunter being in their home.
The blood had renewed them and before the adrenaline had worn off, they'd Apparated back home silently. So preoccupied with her mutterings and Master, Hunter hadn't even noticed them or the change in the air around her.
It is good that she is distracted, Draco's thought interrupted Blaise's own.
Can we kill her now? Ginevra asked, her fangs glinting as she smiled eerily.
Not yet, love. We don't want her blood in our foyer. We need to lure her away, Blaise replied.
I can do that, Ginevra said, moving forward to jump over the stair barrister.
Blaise touched her arm, gently moving her back as Hunter looked up.
...
Hunter growled to herself as she paced the foyer. She was getting increasingly frustrated that they hadn't returned to their home. She just wanted to kill them and leave this blasted country with her Master.
Something shifted above her, and Hunter looked up quickly. Frowning slightly, Hunter jumped up and landed on the stair barrister. She sniffed slightly, her frown deepening.
They were here!
She moved quickly, following their scent. Hunter grinned when it came to a dead end. There were no doors, corridors or windows for them to escape through. Now that she was aware of their presence, she could tell that they hadn't Apparated either.
"Where are you?" she called in a sing-song voice.
"Over here, bitch," Ginevra hissed.
Hunter was surprised long enough to be kicked in the jaw.
"You were lucky, that will not happen again," she hissed.
"You keep believing that, bitch," Ginevra replied mockingly, her fangs glinting in the moonlight as she smirked at Hunter.
Hunter hissed and took a hit at Ginevra. She missed her by a mile, but the intention was not to hit her, rather to make Ginevra move further back. Once she could corner her, she could get her back, and then take her time killing her.
Hunter was so intent on making Ginevra move back that she didn't hear the other two Apparate behind her. Blaise stilled Hunter with a Dark spell. It could hold her, no matter that she was immortal, and it could only be taken off by the person who had put it on.
"She will not let you taste us, will she?" Blaise murmured, his voice in her ear.
Hunter growled in response.
"You do know her reason, do you not?" Blaise asked, moving to stand in front of her.
Hunter snarled and snapped at him, the most she could do at present.
"If you taste us, then you will become even more powerful than she is. Your Master does not like those that are stronger than her, does she? That is why she tortured you before Turning you," he said, caressing Hunter's face lightly. "You were powerful once, were you not, Arabella?" Blaise murmured.
Hunter tried to pull away. He was using her human name. Her weak, stupid human name... She hated that name.
"You were powerful before this, Arabella. But you could not resist your Master, could you? She was so sweet and shy in nature. Or so it seemed... Then she showed you what she really was. You tried to have her killed, but she returned with your hunter's heart. Then she punished you for making an attempt on her life. She has been punishing you ever since, hasn't she Arabella? She gave you the name Hunter so that you would always remember what you did. She made you weak," Blaise said.
"She made me stronger!" Hunter yelled, still trying to get out of the magical binding the bastards had put on her. "Fight me, damn you! I'll torture you and kill you and then I'll deliver your heads on a fucking platter to my Master!"
Blaise just chuckled lightly. Without a word or warning, the spell that Hunter was resisting disappeared, and she fell forward without the pressure holding her back.
She was on her feet in an instant, crouching and snarling at them.
"I will kill you," she hissed.
"You may Drink from us first, Arabella," Draco said, moving a few steps towards her.
Hunter lashed at him, but he didn't retreat like others would have.
"You can be powerful again, Arabella," Ginevra murmured, moving in further.
"You can become stronger than your Master," Blaise said softly, moving directly across from her.
Hunter hit and punched at him. The blows should have knocked him unconscious, but Blaise didn't appear to be harmed at all.
"You will become stronger than us, at the very least," Blaise said, sounding amused.
Hunter snarled and hit him again, harder this time. She bit back a scream when the bones in her hand were crushed against his body, breaking the fragile bones.
"They just don't make vampires like they used to," Draco murmured, shaking his head.
"You want to hurt us, Arabella?" Blaise asked, moving closer to her again.
She growled and tried to hit him with her other hand. Blaise blocked it, and then gripped her arm tightly. She felt her muscles grinding against the bone, her blood flow cutting off as his grip tightened further.
"Do you want to get revenge?" he murmured in her ear. "Do you want to hurt us? Do you want to become stronger than us? Then just say yes," Blaise hissed, forcing her entire body back so they could look at each other properly.
"Y-yes," Hunter said.
Blaise released her arm, and she almost sighed in relief as the muscles righted themselves and her blood continued to flow properly.
She looked at him, unable to believe that Blaise was not writhing on the ground in pain. He should have been screaming for mercy by now. She had done less to other vampires, even ones older and more experienced than her, and they had cried for mercy a short time after the fight had begun. Was it because these vampires were created on All Hallow's Eve? If that were the reason, then she should be just as strong as they were. She should be able to control them. She had been picked for this assignment because of that reason, afterall.
"First, tell me how you defeated me," Hunter said, glaring at them.
"Very well, Arabella. I will tell you," Blaise murmured.
As she continued to glare at the three vampires, two of them disappeared, wavering and shimmering as intense heat does when radiating from the sand.
"My lovers were never here. They loaned their power to me in order to create illusions. They could only be solid for a certain amount of time, which is why they have now disappeared. But their power still resides within me, and will continue to do so until they will it otherwise. I must congratulate you; you would have certainly defeated me on my own. But with their power, I am stronger than both you and your Master, Olia. She will not be pleased that you have failed, will she, Arabella?"
"How do you know my name? And my Master's name?" Hunter snarled.
"I have friends in various places, and I have friends who are extremely interested in the history of the vampires," Blaise said in a dismissive tone. "I can still give you power, if you wish it to be so," Blaise said, beginning to roll his sleeve up.
Do not take his offer, Hunter! Olia yelled.
"The combined power of three newly created vampires, especially those on All Hallows Eve, is the strongest power that can ever be had. You want to be stronger, do you not, Arabella?" Blaise murmured, stepping towards her softly.
Hunter, do not take his offer! You will be rewarded when you return. Leave them, and return! Olia instructed.
She had never left a job unfinished, Hunter thought, shuddering at the mere prospect. But then, she had never been ordered to leave a job before finishing it!
"You do want to finish your job, right, Arabella?" Blaise said, moving even closer.
Hunter was torn between obeying her Master, and the prospect of more power. With this power, she could dispose of these three bastards, and then protect her Master, no matter who or what came at them. She would no longer be weak, stupid Arabella. She would truly be Hunter.
"Come, Hunter. This is your only chance," Blaise murmured.
He slid his wand along his wrist, and moved the last few steps to Hunter. She latched onto his wrist without any further encouragement.
Blaise watched as Hunter Drank from him deeply. He slowly began to pull his arm away, holding her back when she tried to grab him again.
Hunter moved away and leaned against the wall. She didn't feel stronger. In fact, she felt weaker.
You idiot, Hunter! I told you not to accept his offer, didn't I? I told you! Olia was screaming at her.
She sounded sad, even through her yelling, Hunter thought in some surprise.
"I should probably tell you now, before you can't hear me at all," Blaise said, drawing her attention to him. "The combined power of three newly created vampires is not only the strongest power, it is also lethal to anyone who dares to drink it."
Hunter felt her blood slowing, and her eyes started to drop closed.
"Olia was just trying to save you, Arabella," Blaise murmured in her ear. "And you went and killed yourself because you were too weak to listen to your Master's orders."
Blaise stood up, and watched as Arabella died. When he was sure that she was dead, he cut off her head, threw her body in the fireplace, and left her head on the foyer floor before Apparating back to his lovers.
...
Blaise arrived in their room to find Draco and Ginevra waking up.
"Did you kill her?" Ginevra asked.
Blaise could only manage a nod before collapsing on the bed, exhaustion claiming him.
"Olia will try to get her revenge on us," Draco murmured as he undressed Blaise carefully.
Ginevra cleaned the blood from their lover's body gently, then covered him with the blanket.
"She can try; we will be ready."
