The ending to this chapter is delicious. Well, I think it is anyway. It just reminds me of an OC (original character) I used to have. Heheh. You know who, Caitlin.
Read away you fuzzy beav-coons! Yes I just got done watching iCarly!
Oh, and I use French and Japanese in this. I'm pretty sure they're wrong, but let's just pretend, yes?
Bishop followed her daughter's perfume scent all the way to his office on the fourth floor of the corporate building. He rolled his eyes when he found that Oliver and Audrey were swapping spit right outside the door. Bishop shoved Oliver when he walked past the two. "Oliver, get your tongue out of my daughter's throat and follow me," he mused.
Oliver pulled away quickly and was at his boss's side in a blur. "I wasn't…" Oliver stumbled. Bishop narrowed his eyes and smirked. "Uh huh. Now, I am guessing you agreed to my terms?"
"Yes."
"Yes, sir," Bishop remarked.
Oliver sighed. "Yes sir." He heard high heeled steps behind them and assumed that Audrey was following.
"Any opinions on my plan?"
Oliver thought for a moment and gathered his cool. "I think it's brilliant. It is about time that the humans were put in their place."
Bishop nodded. "Good. The others have 24 hours to decide."
"Is that all you gathered? Just us?"
"No, I have other vampires from around the town here."
"Ysandre is picking them all up?"
Bishop chuckled darkly. "Picking them up is a kind term…"
Oliver felt himself smirk. It was high time that Amelie be proven wrong. She is too timid. Oliver might not be running the town, but he was going to a part of taking that woman down. This pleased him. "What did you do with Amelie?" Oliver questioned as Bishop opened a door. "I didn't kill her, if that's what you're wondering," Bishop responded, "She's in here."
Oliver walked in to find Amelie sitting calmly in a chair with two guards standing behind her. She looked up and scowled at Oliver. "I could have taken these two," she growled, looking to Bishop.
"But you wouldn't dare," Audrey purred.
Oliver didn't know if he should sit or not so he stood. But Audrey nodded to the chair across from Amelie. Oliver sat down and, abruptly, Audrey plopped down on his lap. She swung her legs over the arm of the chair so she sat sideways on Oliver. "Uh?" Oliver breathed. Audrey crossed her legs and played with the collar of his shirt.
Bishop ignored his flirting child and focused on Amelie.
"Have you thought about what I told you?" Bishop questioned.
Amelie gritted her teeth then spoke. "Yes."
"And?"
"I think that you're even madder than Myrnin."
Bishop leaned back against the wall. "Really?"
"Yes really," Amelie growled.
"So that's a no to living then?"
Amelie growled. "Who said I was dying?"
"I do," Bishop mused and snapped. The guards sprung into action and nudged Amelie to get up. "This is going to go up in flames, Bishop!" Amelie snapped, "The world can't handle the truth!" Bishop said nothing as Amelie was escorted out of the room.
"Audrey, make sure she doesn't escape," Bishop ordered. Audrey sighed and got up. She walked like a model to the door and glanced back at Oliver who hadn't moved. She smirked and shut the door after her.
"I apologize for Audrey," Bishop remarked, "She's got a… different method for getting in people's heads." Oliver swallowed. "It's working."
Claire ran her fingers through Myrnin's hair lovingly. They had moved to the bench. Well, Claire sat on the bench while Myrnin sat on ground biting his nails. Wait. "Hey!" Claire snapped and batted Myrnin's hand away from his mouth, "Stop that. It's a bad habit." "Sorry," Myrnin mused, "I know it's a bad habit. I do it when I'm nervous."
"Oh man. If, you're nervous, then I'm going to get nervous!" Claire shot back.
"Just don't think about it."
Claire exhaled. "I can't."
"Will you two shut up?" Phoenix barked.
Claire scowled at her. "What's your problem?"
"This! This is my problem! Here I am trying to figure a way out of this and you two are being more mushy than Pretty Woman!"
"Hey," Myrnin retorted, "That was a fantastic movie."
Claire eyed him. "Seriously?"
"What? I love Julia Roberts."
"Lord…"
"And you!" Phoenix growled towards Myrnin, "What the hell is the deal with you? Your just Mr. Optimist, aren't you?"
"Well, I wouldn't say 'optimist', I never was fond of doom and gloom," Myrnin scoffed. Claire snorted. "Says the man who started crying the first day I met you."
Myrnin hesitated, obviously remembering. "That was when-"
"And said that you were better off dead sometimes…"
"I never-"
"Oh, and my personal favorite, you called yourself a monster repeatedly-"
"Okay! I get it," Myrnin gasped, "I haven't always been the most cheery man, either," he turned his gaze to Phoenix, "But if you guys want to talk about getting out of here, fine."
"I don't think that's such a good idea," Claire pointed out, "I mean, François is sitting right-" Claire looked over and saw that François was asleep. His head was back, mouth open and everything. Except no snoring. That would have been funny.
Phoenix chuckled. "Nice guard, Bishop."
James rolled his eyes. "Okay, now that he's asleep, what should we do about our deadly deadline?"
"Deadly deadline. Very punny," Myrnin remarked. Silence. "N-never mind."
"…Anyhow, I think we should just bust out. I mean," Phoenix laughed, "does that Audrey chick have her guards appear out of thin air?"
"Yes," Myrnin, James, and Claire said in unison. Phoenix lost her smile. "Oh. So now what?"
"I vote we wait it out until they summon us to make a decision," James said. Myrnin nodded. "And then we strike. There are many more vampires than us in Morganville. I'm sure they will help." "How do you know they'll gather us all in one spot?" Claire asked. "Uh," James hesitated, "we don't. Heh."
Claire sighed. "Great plan you guys."
All of the sudden the door opened and in walked Jia. Myrnin looked up quickly. He smiled softly and mouthed: Hi. Jia returned a small smile and turned to François. "You are relived," she growled. François had woken up at the sound of the door. "Says who?" he shot back.
"I do. Get out before I drag you."
François stood and began a deadly stare down. Jia narrowed her eyes and gritted her teeth, fangs visible. François did the same and growled like some dog. Jia then grabbed him by the shoulders and pinned him to the floor before Claire could even blink.
"Are you aware of how old I am?" Jia snapped, "I can rip your heart out child."
François chuckled darkly. "I'd like to see you try, grandma." Jia laughed and stood.
"Well, I would not be able to say I told you so, for you would be dead."
François scowled at her and stood. "I'll leave, but I'm asking Bishop about your behavior."
"Oh, sure, run back home to mommy," Jia sneered. François growled and then Claire saw Jia's eyes turn a glowing silver. François's eyebrows raised slightly. Jia drew back her lips and hissed at him. "Out," she commanded. From what Claire saw, François didn't take his gaze off Jia's eyes. He backed up, bumped into the door and sped-walked out.
Jia went back to her normal expression and shut the door behind him. "Kono Yaru," Jia grumbled. Myrnin chuckled and stood. "Jia, you haven't changed a bit," he said, walking to the bars.
Jia walked over to the steel door. "Stand back," she ordered. James and Phoenix backed up to stand with Claire and Myrnin. Jia took off the golden flat of her right foot and kicked the door in.
"Oh my God!" Claire gasped. "Holy shit," James breathed. "Whoa," Phoenix exhaled. "Woo!" Myrnin exclaimed and ran over to Jia. He wrapped her in a tight hug. "I knew you weren't evil!" Jia chuckled and hugged him back. "Good to see you too."
Jia kissed Myrnin on the top of the head and pulled away. Claire stood. Myrnin looked over to her and smiled brightly. He zoomed over, grabbed her and was back in place in a blur. Claire was startled, but got a hold of herself. "Are you the Claire my Myrnin has been telling me about?" Jia mused.
"Y-yes," Claire choked. Wow. Why was she so nervous? It's only her boyfriend's sire. Basically his mom. Holy crap. She was meeting his mom.
"Pleasure to meet you dear," Jia replied. She was a pretty woman, her hair was a midnight black, she wore a blue silk top at the time and a brown pair of slacks. Jia slipped on her shoe and gestured to the door. "I think we should get out of here before Bishop comes down and rips my arms off," Jia chuckled.
And with that, the five left the room swiftly only to be greeted by Audrey standing a few feet from the door, arms crossed, lips pouty. "Where do you think you're going?" she hissed acidly.
"You smell like Oliver," Myrnin said bluntly. Audrey smirked. "Jealous?" Then she leaped forward, attacking Myrnin. Everyone was about to retaliate when four men appeared out of nowhere and attacked them.
"I am really hating that woman right now!" Claire growled, wrestling away a brown eyed man.
"You're telling me!" James shot back as he punched a vampire across the face.
Audrey punched Myrnin. "You should have stayed in the cage, sweetheart!" Myrnin kneed Audrey in the back, knocking the wind out of her. Audrey growled and grabbed Myrnin by the throat. "Vous imbécile!" she snarled. "Putain," Myrnin barked back.
Audrey smirked and tightened her grip. "That wasn't nice," she mused menacingly. Myrnin used all the strength he had and rolled over. Audrey grunted as her head hit the hard floor. Myrnin kneed her in the stomach and shoved her away. She slid into the wall with a thud.
Jia had taken care of the spirit who was attacking her and, in a blur, was at Myrnin's side. "Good work. I taught you well."
Claire, on the other hand, was struggling. The spirit had her pinned against the wall. Jia noticed this, zoomed over, and kicked her leg up over her head karate style. She got the vampire right in the back of the head, forcing it forward so he hit the wall unconscious. Claire had ducked just in time. "Thanks," she breathed, "That was incredible."
Jia smiled. "Thank you. Years of practice."
Audrey lifted her head lazily and spotted Myrnin walking towards her. Claire saw a flash of something metallic in her hand. Then Claire saw the shape. A knife.
"Myrnin! Look out!" Claire gasped.
Myrnin had already kneeled down, but he looked back. That's when Audrey sprung up and sank the knife right into his chest. James and Phoenix had taken care of their foes and were watching anxiously now.
Myrnin cried out in pain as Audrey pinned him to the floor.
"Silver hurts doesn't it, bitch?" Audrey hissed. Jia and Claire simultaneously stepped forward. Audrey must have moved the knife, for Myrnin cried out again.
"Don't move," she snapped, "This is right over his heart, I can feel it. One more move, and I destroy it," Audrey smiled turned the knife, Myrnin yelled, "with one twist after another."
Kono Yaru means asshole (I'm pretty sure) in Japanese.
Audrey said, "You imbecile!"
Myrnin said, "Whore" back. Lol.
Plz don't hate me if I got them wrong! :(
