With Lilith tucked safely inside one of the bigger air vents, still dressed in Scud's clothes, Whistler, Blade and Scud made their way to their work stations. None of them were going to say anything about Lilith. They were going to wait and see how the vampires acted. Blade had spoken briefly to Lilith about her ideas and plans had been made.
" Not a word. Not even a smirk." Blade warned Scud. They watched together as the vampires filed in. " Stay with Whistler and away from Chupa and Reinhardt." The two vampires were lifting their heads every so often. No doubt trying to see if they could smell her in the warehouse.
" Yeah, that's no problem." Scud said, noticing how the big vampires were eyeballing him. Blade pulled away from the Scud and Whistler and made his way to Nyssa.
" We need to talk." He said to her. The beautiful princess vampire let The Daywalker lead her away. "We have a problem."
" With that?" She asked.
" You're boys back there, are trying to force one of my men into being a familiar." Blade asked as he stared down into her eyes. Nyssa frowned and shook her head.
" We can't force humans into being familiars, you know that." She said. They were keeping their voices low.
" If they kidnapped his pregnant girlfriend they could." Blade said.
" What are you talking about?" Nyssa asked.
" Scud got his girl pregnant. Your boys kidnapped her, kept her in a prison and tried to make him tell them things about me." Blade said. Nyssa's eyes moved to Chupa and Reinhardt who were standing together, glaring at Scud. " Tell me you didn't know about this." When Nyssa didn't answer, Blade took a hold of her arm. " Nyssa, tell me you had nothing to do with this." She shook her head and looked at him. The Daywalker might be a killer of vampires but Nyssa respected him. She was a full bloodied vampires and didn't agree with other vampires treatment of humans. She felt they should respect humans, not hunt them down.
" I did not know anything about this. We vampires are supposed to cherish the expected mother, be her human or vampire. When a vampire becomes pregnant, she is worshiped until the baby is born. We expect the race to respect a pregnant human as well." She said.
" We saved her." Blade said.
" And she is well then?" Nyssa asked.
" Yes and she is here." Nyssa frowned and stiffed at the air. " I'm hiding her scent and her."
Scud crossed his arms over his chest and started to bit at his thumb's cuticle on his right hand. He was leaning against a workstation ith Whistler at his left. Scud was watching Blade and Nyssa. He was nervous, he was mad, and he was scared. What if the vampires could smell her? He was sure they couldn't because Blade couldn't but that didn't mean he wasn't worried.
" Take care of her." Whistler said quietly.
" Who?" Scud asked.
" Lilith. Try and remember that pregnant women tend to have bad mood swings. They get emotional. When my wife was pregnant with our first daughter I had to remind her over and over that she was having a baby, not just getting fat. They worry a lot. They think we ain't gonna want them anymore. Be gentle with her, go to her appointments, touch her stomach. Feel your baby move inside her. You never know when you might lose them." Scud frowned and looked at Whistler but the old man wasn't looking at him. "Give her whatever she wants. Rub her back and her legs, do whatever she asks you to do."
" Are you being nice to me?" Scud asked. Whistler's mouth tighten and his eyes narrowed.
" I'm being nice to her so fuck off." He said.
" Hey my man, can we talk to you for a minute?" Chupa asked as he and Reinhardt walked up to the two men.
" No thanks." Scud said as he looked at him. He recrossed his arms over his chest. " I'm talking to W right now."
" We weren't really asking." Reinhardt snapped.
" Chupa! Reinhardt!" Nyssa snapped as Blade and her started towards them.
" Where is she?" Reinhardt hissed low to Scud.
" I don't know who you are talking about." Scud smirked.
" Chupa! Reinhardt!" Nyssa's voice rang out. Chupa's mouth tighten hard while Reinhardt sneered. They both turned and faced their princess as she and Blade made their way to her. Blade was speaking into something tucked into his sleeve. " Did you kidnap a pregnant woman?" Chupa looked back at Scud then at the princess.
" She came to us." He said.
" Bullshit!" Scud said as he stood up straight.
" She was tired of the human dick. Wanted to try us out." Reinhardt said. Nyssa looked back at Blade then at her vampires. It wasn't unheard of.
" You're fucking lying!" Scud yelled as he walked around the face the vampires.
" Scud." Blade warned.
" If that's true then why were you assholes keeping her in a cell?" Whistler spoke up.
" Well we had to make it look like a kidnapping if we wanted to get anything out the kid. We were trying to protect you, Princess. We needed to make sure Blade wasn't planning on gaining your trust then hurting you." Reinhardt said.
" Well that's a damn lie." Lilith's voice made Scud whip around quickly.
" Lilith!" He said. She shook her head and let his pants fall to the floor. She stepped out of the pants and kicked them to the side. She was wearing a pair of her own jeans under his. She pulled his shirt over her head, making all the vampires sniff the air. She tried hard not to frown or show her fear. Instead, she lifted her head and continued to stroll forward.
" Some men came into my place, hit me in the head and knocked me out. When I woke up I was in a cell with other vampires in cells around me." Lilith said. Nyssa looked back to Chupa and Reinhardt.
" Is this true?" She asked. Chupa was staring Lilith down but she wasn't backing down as she walked towards them.
" Lilith, this is Nyssa. She is the vampire princess." Blade said. Nyssa looked at her and smiled.
" Congratulation on your baby." She said. Lilith found herself smiling at the beautiful woman.
" Thank you." She said as she reached Scud and Blade.
" What the hell are you doing?" Scud hissed. He took a hold of Lilith's arm and pulled her close to him.
" Not being scared." Lilith said.
" Chupa, Reinhardt, I'm waiting for an answer." Nyssa said, turning back to them.
" What do you want from us? We were protecting you." Reinhardt snapped. Nyssa crossed her arms over her chest as the three stared at each other. Scud's hand moved from Lilith's arm to her back.
" You two are done for the night. Go home and wait for me." Nyssa finally said. Chupa glared at Lilith while Reinhardt looked bored.
" Whatever." Reinhardt said as he hit Chupa in the arm. " We're out." He said. Without another word they strolled out of the warehouse. Nyssa turned and faced Blade, Scud, and Lilith.
" Were you hurt?" Nyssa asked Lilith.
" No. Really just scared." She said.
" The rest of you, head out for the night. I want to speak with Blade." Nyssa said. There was a muttering of answers but the vampires made their way out of the warehouse.
" Did they act alone?" Blade asked when they were alone.
" I don't know but I will find out." Nyssa said. " I am sorry." Scud tugged on Lilith's shirt.
" Come on, Babe." He said. " B and the princess need to talk about shit."

" How did they find her!" Chupa yelled.
" I don't know!" Jay cried. Chupa drew back and back handed her, sending her crashing to the ground.
" Don't lie to us. My man doesn't like liars." Reinhardt said as he leaned against the back alley way of the club.
" I'm not lying! I swear!" Jay cried. Chupa grabbed her by the back of her hair and hauled her up. Jay cried harder and grabbed his wrist. " Chupa, please!"
" Did you call him and tell him where she was?" Chupa asked.
" No! I hate Scud! I won't have helped him like that!" The girl cried.
" She doesn't know shit. Just kill her." Reinhardt said as he looked away.
Chupa opened his mouth and growled. He ripped into Jay's neck, causing her to let out a blood curdling scream. He yanked his fangs through the soft flesh, silencing her right away when her vocal cords were ripped out. Her eyes rolled back in her head as she went completely limp. Chupa spit her blood out and dropped her to the dirty ground. Reinhardt tilted his head as he looked at her.
" Shame you had to do that. I sure would have liked to fuck her." He said.
" Still can." Chupa said. " But I wouldn't. She wasn't that good." Reinhardt snapped his fingers to his awaiting familiars. " Clean this shit up."

" Why the hell did you come out?" Scud snapped to Lilith once he had her alone in his room.
" Because I couldn't hide. They saw how scared I was and I can't stand that. I can't stand thinking they think they got one over on me." Lilith said, sitting down on his bed.
" How did you know the entire Blood Pack wasn't in on it? How did you know they weren't have attacked you once you came out?" He snapped again. She reached up and pulled an ear piece out of her left ear.
" Because Blade radioed to me that it was safe." She said quietly.
" What? You guys had this planned?" He asked in disbelief.
" I knew if it was up to you, you'd keep me hidden away but that's not who I am and you know that. I don't back down."
" Lilith, these are not some guys that owe you money for pot. These are fanged, blood sucking demons. They will tear into you and not think twice." Scud said.
" Blade told me to lose the fear and I did." She said.
" Yeah and this isn't about just you anymore, get it?" He asked in anger. " This is you, me and the baby. Something happens to you, it happens to my kid too. Think of that the next time you decided to be brave. Think about our kid."
" Josh, that's not fair..." Lilith started to say.
" No, it's not fair that you gambled with the baby's life. It's not fair that you didn't think how I'd feel if you were killed in front of me." Without another word, Scud stormed out of his room, slamming the door behind him.

Scud had been working for almost three hours when he felt her come against his back. She rubbed her cheek against his shoulder blades and put her arms around his waist. Scud started to work his jaw back and forth as he stared at the table. Her entire body came against his. She continued rubbing against him as she squeezed him.
" I'm sorry." She said. " I didn't look at it like that."
" Well you should. You die, the kid dies." Scud said. She stepped up and pressed her lips against the back of his neck then rubbed her face into his hair.
" Don't be mad at me, please?" Her breath whispered against his skin, making him close his eyes. He wanted to stay mad but she slipped her little hands under his shirt and started to run her fingertips lightly across his waist band. He was reacting right away, growing harder and harder.
" I'm pissed." He growled out. " Sometimes you're so fucking reckless. You always have been."
" I know. I'm sorry." He grabbed her hands and pulled them off him so he could turn and face her. He placed his hands on either side of her face.
" Just...starting thinking before you act. It's not just you anymore. You thought about what was best for the baby when you thought you had to leave me, think what's best now." He said. She nodded and grabbed his elbows.
" I will. I promise. I won't do anything without talking to you first." She said.
