Chapter Ten
"I think we're lost."
"We are not lost we're just taking the more scenic route!"
"So we're lost."
"Shut up Skye!" Sol growled turning away from Daemon's annoying accusing self to Skye who had a bored look on her face as she looked around at the small shops surrounding them. Glancing at Sol she shrugged and continued on ignoring the onlookers that Sol had gotten the attention from by his yelling.
Scowling at her Sol ran up to her to continue the argument on telling her that he did indeed know where they were at. Leaving behind Daemon to take pictures of all the buildings and alleyways as they walked on past them to look at later.
"Well it does look like we're a group of lost tourists." Kougen chuckled who was hanging back from the other three with Saber.
"Well the lost tourist part is true." She answered dryly watching as Sol argued with Skye who asked, "Well then where are we now?" Her reply from the proud wolf was a confused scratch on the head as he stared at the map.
"Idiot." Saber mumbled walking over to Sol took the map from him and gave it Daemon.
"Hey!"
"Shut up!" She tossed Sol a cold glare, "Daemon is way better than this than you." Nodding at Daemon he smiled and walked to the front and told us to go left leading them to a row of large old houses. Walking towards Skye she ignored the glare Sol gave her as she passed him.
"Hey babe." Smiling at Skye's scowl from the comment she draped an arm around her shoulder drawing Skye's body closer to hers. "You look cold." She purred brushing her nose against Skye's red one giving it a quick peck.
Mumbling a few things Skye didn't pull since it was 34 F outside and Saber's body heat was welcomed to her cold shivering body. Noticing this Saber pulled her closer and wrapped part of her long blue scarf around Skye's neck making her blush, but it was hard to tell with it being cold and all.
Saying a small "thanks" Skye walked a bit closer to Saber who chuckled at her actions, 'how cute.' She thought, but the sudden flash of light of light made both girls groan from the flash and rub away the floating dots that blocked their vision.
Looking over they spotted a smirking Sol, a nervous looking Daemon, and Kougen who had the camera in his hands and pointing at them.
"Awe so cute." Kougen called out giving back the camera to Daemon.
Laughing Saber pulled Skye into a tight hug smirking when another flash went off at them. "I want copies of those!" Saber yelled chuckling at Skye's flustered angry face that was pointed to grinning wolves in front of her.
Continuing on for two more hours of searching for the place where the vampires would hold a ball they searched, and studied each building and alley while keep up their appearance tourists.
Feeling vibration to her side Saber noticed how Skye was shivering violently, "hey you okay?" She asked her question getting the others attention. "Just cold, but fine I can go on."
Cursing herself for forgetting that the cold effected Skye more than the rest of them she quickly picked up Skye in her arms bringing her closer to her body.
"Hey! I can g-"
"No you can't you're freezing, and going to get sick."
"After we check this alley out we'll get a taxi back to the hotel." Kougen announced walking over to Skye to feel her forehead, and neck checking for a fever.
Scowling at them Skye nodded while burying her cold face into Saber's warm neck making her shiver from the cold touch. "Sorry" she mumbled feeling the shiver.
"No problem babe."
Stepping in front of the alley Kougen studied the long path leading up to what looked like a large building in the distance. Clicking his tongue in thought he turned from the road to Skye seeing her shivering against Saber then to the moped rental shop on the corner. Nodding he signaled the others to follow him to the shop.
Getting their mopeds the guys getting their own while Saber and Skye shared with Skye on the back holding onto Saber they emerged from the alley onto a long turning road leading up to a huge; well huge was an understatement, but a massive mansion. Parking a small distance away they got off to get a closer look of the place. Behind the large steal gate was ten acres of land with the descent size manmade lakes scattered on the property, one being half an acre away from the gate the other on the right side of the mansion, and they could barely make out the edge of the other peaking out of the thick curtains of trees surrounding the house.
Placed of the middle of the land was a beautiful gothic styled house looking to about three stories tall, and taking up a little over a half an acre of land. With a circle drive away which the saw expressive looking cars of all types parked on it, and what Kougen could see on the large steel door to the house was two screeching bats.
"The curtains are all drawn closed." Kougen heard Skye whisper who was now out of Sabers arms and studying the house in front of her with hard eyes.
Walking around Daemon took pictures of the gates and house then he casually took out his 'iPod touch' and tapped something.
"You smell that?" Kougen asked while acting like an awe struck tourist as he took a picture with his phone.
Growling Sol nodded, "Yeah, it's still fresh."
"Vampires." Saber mumbled placing a hand on Skye's tense shoulders.
After taking a few more pictures some of the group shots in front of the main gates so not to make it look suspicious they quickly headed out.
Getting a cab they spoke about what they say today, but making it sound like kids in awe about buildings and the sights they've seen. Turning towards the cabby Kougen asked him a question, "Excuse me Sir, but the mansion on 600 Shade street what do you know about it?" Not taking his eyes of the road the older man seemed to jump from the question, but answered a bit hesitantly. "You would want to stay away from there the lot of you. Strange things happen there."
"Oh? What kind of strange things?" Kougen pushed acting much like a curious teenager the others responding in agreement.
Sighing he answered, "People have gone missing around there in the past couple of days mostly younglings snooping around their when news came out that people have been spotted going in and out of the place." He stopped to yell at a teen that cut him off on his moped.
"So someone moved in their?"
"I would assume since there are always cars out front."
"These disappearances' have they've always happened?"
"Not since I was a boy which was a little over fifty years ago, but then again there were other cases way back before I was born." He shrugged while turning onto a side road, "That mansion has been there since old England its one of the oldest building here, and people say it's cursed." Stopping at the light he turned to look at Kougen his aged brown eyes staring into Kougen's curious green ones, "why do you lot want to know about such a place?" Staring at the five of them, mostly Saber since she was odd looking one out the rest of them.
"We're university students from the states and we're doing a project on old buildings in England with history." Saber answered without missing a beat while giving a smile.
Giving a slow nod he turned back just to see the light turn, "Well we have a lot of those, but I would advise you all to stay away from that place, no goods come from there." He grumbled while pulling into their hotels drive around, "Well here you all are that will be forty U.S dollars."
As the others went inside Kougen handed the driver a single bill and began to walk away, "He kid don't you want your change back?" The cabby shouted at him holding his bill in hand, turning back Kougen just smiled and shook his head, "No you keep it considerate thanks for the information you gave us." And with that he stepped inside leaving the old cabby driver to stare at the one hundred dollar bill in his hand.
Walking into his room Kougen was greeted with the others surrounding Daemon and his computer. "So is it the place?" He asked hanging his coat in the closet then walked over, "Looks like it's the place it fits what they would go for." Saber answered watching all the information they gathered be formed into a sheet by their tech wolf.
"Well it seems that the mansion is called Misty Manor." Daemon said reading more into the manors history.
"Why would they call it that?" Sol asked leaning back in his seat while keeping a lazy eye on the screen. "Well the manor at night seems to form a thick fog or mist around it locals say it's so thick that you can't see a thing."
"Easy to hunt victims in if they can't see a thing in front of them." Skye said.
Nodding at her statement Daemon pulled up another page skimming it quickly, "Hmm it seems it has another name as well."
"And that is?" Kougen asked leaning on Daemons chair.
"Bloody Mist Manor."
Skye scoffed at the name getting up to get something hot to drink Saber joined her while the guys sat silently by the computer. "When is this ball again?" Sol asked sitting up to face Kougen serious face. "In three days." Sol cursed, "I thought we had at least a week, is that enough time to get ready?" Typing away at his computer Daemon spoke up, "From what I gathered they have multiple cameras around the perimeter, motion sensors, and a lot of other things that will be a pain in the ass to get through." Taking a breath he opened another page, "And I was able to find and old blueprint of the house, but from the looks of it the house had some new additions to."
Looking over the blueprint Kougen sighed, "Well it's the only thing we can go off right now so we're going to have to take a chance."
"Taking a chance like that is going to be really dangerous." Sol mumbled getting up to get something to drink.
Sighing, "Don't I know it." Kougen whispered taking out his phone to call Warren to let him know what they had found.
~*~
Dinner was silent with only a few comments about today's discovery from Kougen and Daemon letting us know that the next three days were going to be preparation. After dinner I thanked Kougen who helped me with the dishes as I mulled over my thoughts trying to put them in some form of order. Feeling a hand on my shoulder as I was drying a plate I looked to see Kougen, "Get some sleep Skye you look tired." Not arguing I put the dish in hand away and went to take a warm shower.
Stepping into the room I shared with Saber I was surprised to see the usually energetic wolf asleep curled up on her side. Smiling softly I grabbed my sleep ware and walked out to take a shower.
God I hated being lost and having to many unanswered questions that I'm not even close to answering. Hissing when I got in the shower not even feeling the water temp first making me jump back to avoid from being scalded, quickly bring the temp down I was able to relax as the water washed my stiff body. I swore when the sudden image of the mansion came into mind, along with that man…
Shaking my head pushing away those thoughts for right now trying to relax I began to hum and what came out made me stop and smack my head while cursing, "Damn you Daemon." Now trying to get the 'Bumblebee' song the damn techno song that Daemon was playing earlier today on repeat.
"Sweet sweet little bumblebee I know what you want from…me…Dammit!"
Finishing up quickly while I swore up a god damn storm the whole time I got dressed in a pair of short grey shorts, and a black tank top that had a white paw print on the chest.
Storming out of the bathroom I saw Daemon still up typing away I scowled, "Fuck you Daemon." Startled he turned around as I went into my room but I heard a, "What?" Before I shut the door behind me.
Rubbing my hair one more time with the towel I chucked it across the room before I climbed into bed, but I stopped when my eyes landed on Saber's peaceful face the look made my heart tighten.
"What are you doing to me?"
"Making you feel." Jerking my hand away I was when the sleeping Saber spoke up and again I cursed when I failed to notice that she was awake as I sat there and stared at her like I would get all my answers from her sleeping form. I watched as she pushed herself up so she was now sitting across from me, her eyes holding a softness that sped up my heart rate as I continued to stare into them.
I watched as she reached out to run her thumb over my cheek tenderly, "I'm trying to show you love, real love." I stiffed at hearing that and she felt it when she brought her hands down on my shoulders to keep me from running. A moan slipped out when she began to massage my shoulders easing the knots out of them.
"Wow babe you're really tense, here lay down you a need a good massage or you're going to hurt yourself." I wanted to argue but I didn't not seeing the point my head was already spinning with unanswered questions and me yelling for no reasons would solve anything.
Lying down on my stomach I let Saber straddle by butt and work her soft hands over my stiff back. A silence fell between us and I hate to admit but I hated it, it just felt wrong for Saber not have something to say but she stopped talking after her answer to me. Wanting to say something to break the silence, but I just come up blank my mouth felt like cotton as I tried to utter word.
"Hey loosen up it hard to rub these knots out when your keep on tens-" Turning around swiftly grabbing both of Sabers hands I leaned up so she was sitting in my lap as our eyes met her eyes showing her confusion at my sudden action.
"Why?"
"Why what?"
"Why do you even like me?!" My shout surprised her, but that question has been buzzing in my head for a year now and it has been driving to the edge. I clutched the front of her shirt now like it was the only thing that was keeping me from going over the edge as I sat there I couldn't help it as tears slipped down my cheek landing onto the black tank top she was wearing. I truly didn't understand to why she wanted someone like me a cold, mostly distance, romantically retarded, loner that is afraid of falling in love, or showing love to anyone.
So I sat there to what felt like hours crying into her chest as I let out all my frustrations, and confusion out on her and she sat there taking it rubbing small circles on my back as she rocked me. I don't know why this all came up, maybe it was the simple thing that she said, "Making you feel." Had hit me harder than any punch could do, but it hit hard to the point that I was actually crying, I haven't cried since I was six on the day I lost my entire family.
When I finally stopped giving a few hiccups she pulls me away from her so that she could look at me, but I couldn't, I just couldn't let her see me like this.
"Well that proves it. You're human." Confused I look up to see her smiling face.
"What?" After I broke down and cried on her the only thing she says is that. What the hell?
Brushing the drying tear trails off my face she runs her hand through my hair knowing it relaxed me, "Sometimes I didn't think you were human at times you were always so cold and distant and rarely showed any emotion to anyone. If you did it was usually sarcasm, or a cold sneer." She paused as she pulls me closer to place her shin on my shoulder leaning into me as she continued, "But lately you have been opening up by smiling more, laughing, and now this. It just proves to me that you're human."
She was right. I have changed, and she helped that.
Pulling away I smile at her my smile seemed to surprise her since she let out a small gasp then let out a louder one when I brought her down into a soft questioning kiss. Moving my lips unsure as to what to do I was glad when Saber's shock subsided when she reacted moving her lips against mine. Starting slow and soft the kiss soon turned into a wild frenzy as Saber deepened it with her tongue wrestling with my own in a battle of dominance.
Lacking air I was the first to pull away to suck in some air, but I lost it when I was back lying down with Saber over me. "What was that for?" She asks looking down at me with frosty blue eyes filled with curiosity and lust.
As I stared up at her with my mismatched eyes I smile bring her down for a small peck on the lips, "For making me feel." My heart skipped a beat when gave me a loving smile and came down on my for another kiss this time she was the one to pull away, and began to laugh?
"You know if it weren't for the three unmated males so close by I would be screwing you senseless right?"
I feel my face flush so I look away finding the wall fascinating for the moment but glance back at her when I hear her chuckle, "We just had two fierce make out sessions without me shoving my hands down you're pant or up your shirt, and you can't even look me in the eye. Damn you're lucky you're cute or I might have found that offensive."
Feeling her settle down beside me I turn around to face her and she pulls me close so that her chin is resting on my head. "Sooo does mean we're a couple?"
I chuckle as I run my hand through her soft white hair, "I suppose." I feel her let out a sigh and clutch me closer to her body and for the first time in a long time I felt truly happy.
