BLOOD DESIRE

Chapter Eleven

Sam was on his way over to Matt's Office hoping to caught up with Dean, after visiting the two tattoo parlours he had gone to the local library where he found out that they had a private section on Heraldry, apparently it was a passion of the librarian, who had some very rare books dating back centuries. It was in one of these books that Sam found the family crest he was looking for, it was the crest of the once royal Aleksandrov family; the former 18th century king and his wife were murdered by an uprising of the peasants and their only son Nikolay fled from his homeland. Why would an ex-royal family crest of some small eastern country be tattooed on ex-blood bank members' chests? Sam pulled out his cell phone and called Dean, he ended the call when Dean didn't answer. As Sam approached Matt's Clinic he knew Dean wasn't there, as there was no sign of the impala.

Matt sat behind his desk; he was still computer illiterate and intended to keep it that way until a gun was put to his head and he was forced to use one, so until that happen he would continue writing his session notes by hand and in this particular case they were Dean's. He thought the session had gone well, Dean was a little apprehensive at first then he started to relax and open up but he had only touched the surface, Dean was like a onion, he needed to peel away the out layers until he found what was causing Dean to taste. Hopefully in the next session a few more of the outer layers would be peeled away. Seeing Sam enter Matt casually closed Dean's folder and placed inside the top draw of his desk. "Hi Sam what brings you here?"

"Hi Matt, I'm looking for Dean you don't know where he went too do you?"

"Sorry no, Jay was the last person to see him"

"Is it alright if I go see Jay?" Sam asked

"Sure" Matt rose from his desk "he's in the back room" Matt lead the way, opening the door he peered in and saw Jay sat up in bed watching TV. Matt noticed that the bottle of concoction sat on the bedside table was half empty, which surprised him

"Jay did Dean happen to mention where he was going?" Matt asked

"No why, is something wrong?"

Sam could see that Jay had taken quite a beating "I could me just over reacting but Dean's not answering his phone. How long ago did Dean leave?"

Jay thought about it "An hour maybe more"

Taking out his phone Sam once again rang Dean's cell phone; the call went straight to voicemail "It not like Dean to not answer and from past experience it means he's in trouble"

Matt didn't miss the worried tone in Sam's voice, he wondered about his session with Dean, it had gone well and he seemed fine when he left to visit Jay, what was more worrying was the fact there had been five murders of ex-blood bank members, just to be on the safe side though "I'll give the Sheriff a ring"

"Thanks" Sam watched Matt leave the room before turning his attention back to Jay "Did Dean mention anything that might help us?"

"No, but then again I only spoke to him for about ten minutes"

"What?"

"He was with Matt most of the time, in his office" then Jay realized that maybe he had said the wrong thing when he saw the surprised look on Sam's face "I think but I'm not sure" he added quickly

Sam walked out of the room towards Matt's Office; Dean was supposedly here to help Jay then why had he only spent ten minutes with him. Matt replaced the receiver as Sam walked in "the sheriff's going to keep an look out for Dean's car"

"Jay just told me that Dean only spent ten minutes with him and the rest of the morning he was in here with you when he was supposed to be helping him?"

Matt picked up on the underlying tone of accusation in Sam voice "Yeah that's right, we were talking and lost all track off time"

"Talking about what?"

"About Dean's time in the blood bank" Matt replied

"Why would Dean talk to you now when he wouldn't talk you before?"

"Why not now, things are a little less raw for him" Matt replied "I thought you'd be happy that Dean wanted to talk?"

"Yeah I am, sorry" Sam replied "I just worried about him"

Nikolay watched as Dean's eyelid closed over his green coloured eyes, reaching over his desk Nikolay pressed a button and a minute later Toby walked in, "Toby empty out his pockets, take his car keys and hide his car in the woods for now and make sure no one see you, you can move it later when the party's under way"

"Ok" Toby searched thru Dean's jean pockets, he placed all the items on Nikolay's desk; he found a penknife, Dean's wallet, car keys and cell phone.

While Toby searched Dean Nikolay made a quick call "Dmitri, I need you at the house" ending the call he picked up Dean's cell phone, he knew Celeste was waiting for Dean in the old servants' quarters, so he sent a text saying that Dean was sorry, something had come up and he couldn't make it, then he collected Dean's belonging and placed them in his desk draw.

As Toby left the house with the impala keys he met Dmitri, this bald headed seven foot giant of a man with a slight hunched back always gave him the creeps, no matter how times they met. Dmitri loomed over him and spoke with a deep Russian accent "Nikolay rang for me"

"Yeah he's in the study; he has a new one for you" Toby made sure the coast was clear before he headed towards the impala.

Dmitri nodded and walked passed Toby into the house, he crossed the hallway and walked into the study where Nikolay was watching the monitor attached to the security cameras; without turning he spoke "Dmitri"

"Yes master"

"Take our newest member up to the bedroom and prepare him, when it's none take him to my underground chambers"

"Yes master" Dmitri pulled Dean's limp body from the chair and carried him effortlessly in his arms from the study up the grand staircase into one of the guest bedrooms and placed him on the bed, he set to and removed Dean's t-shirt then his boots and socks as he did so he heard the arrival of a car, looking out the window he made sure it was Sid the tattooist before he left the bedroom and headed downstairs to let him in.

Sid entered the bedroom with his equipment followed by Dmitri and saw his latest customer unconscious on the bed "Another one that doesn't like needles" he joked but Dmitri remained stone faced

"Ok" Sid opened his case and set to work, like an artist with a blank canvas

Sid took the money and quickly left, Dmitri watched him climb into his car and drive off towards the wrought iron gates, he pressed the button for the gates to open allowing Sid to leave, he turned and went back upstairs to the guest bedroom and carried Dean down the stairs to the basement door, in the basement he pressed a hided button and the floor to ceiling wine storage rack moved aside to reveal a steel door with a handprint recognition pad. Dmitri pressed his hand on the pad and waited for the steel door to open. He then carried Dean down a long brick tunnel that twisted and turned for what seem like miles, eventually he came to the masters' chamber it was simpler to his study, this was where Nikolay kept his most treasured possessions that he brought with him from his homeland, there were three more doors that led off from the chamber, Dmitri moved to the first door on his right, it was a bedroom entering he carried Dean over to the silk covered bed and placed him gently down, he heeded his master's warning to be gentle with them unless told otherwise. He removed Dean's jeans just leaving him in his boxers before covering him up with a silk sheet. He closed the door behind him; he waited until he heard automatic lock before crossing the chamber and disappearing thru the door on the left.

Toby drove the impala deep into the wood and camouflage it with branches, later he planned to drive it and leave it two towns over to the east, no one would suspect that Dean had ever been to the mansion. He made his way back, reaching the wrought iron gate he heard a car approaching, he stood by the gate and watched the black stretch limo pull up, the back electronic passenger window wound down to reveal a woman in her late twenties wearing a silk scarf over her black hair which also wrapped around her neck, she wore shades over her eyes.

"Welcome Miss Munro"

"Thank you Toby" the window wound back up and the limo continued on thru the gates and up towards the main house. Stopping outside the front door the chauffer climbed out and walked around the limo to open the door for her. A bare leg with a black stiletto heeled shoe appeared and then a hand, the chauffer held her hand as she climbed elegantly from the limo, the way she had been shown at the Swiss finishing school; looking up at the mansion for the first time she took in her new home. She thought about her new fiancé, her saviour, he took her in when she had lost everything, her family and her love but that was Nikolay, he took waifs and strays under his protective wing, he was so different from anyone she had ever met before. Feeling the afternoon sun prickling her skin she stepped inside the front door, standing in the hallway she removed her scarf as she looked around, her first thoughts was that the place needed a woman's touch it remained her of a museum, looking up the staircase she saw Nikolay coming down.

Nikolay greeted her "My darling, you're earlier than expected"

Mimicking her Swiss tutor's voice "Oh Niky darling a lady never as a timetable, it is fashionable to be early as well as be late according to Madame Francesca"

"Let me have a good look at you" Nikolay looked her up and down while she twirled round for him.

"Like what you see?" she asked

"Yes I do" it was surprising what the right clothes and a few weeks at a finishing school could achieve, something he had learnt a long time ago that you could deceive a lot of people by looking as if you have money "and tonight I'm throwing a party in your honour"

"A party for me?" she shrieked in delight

"Yes my dear" Nikolay looked towards the front door as Toby entered "Toby will you show my lovely fiancée to her room, I'm sure she would like to freshen up and relax a little before the party"

"Miss Munro would you follow me" Toby gestured towards the staircase

"I'll have a bloody Mary sent up to your room" Nikolay watched her as she climbed the stairs

By late afternoon Sam was going out of his mind with worry, he had left countless messages on Dean's voicemail and he had searched the town so many times he had lost count after eighth or ninth time. There were just no cues to Dean's disappearance; he headed back towards Matt's clinic the last known place Dean had been seen. Sam had this feeling that there was more to this talk between Matt and Dean that Matt was letting on. Dean left the diner around about ten and according to Jay Dean left Matt's Clinic after twelve. That was a long time for them to be together. Sam wondered if Matt had said something to Dean that made him storm off, had his brother gone off somewhere to cool down but then again Jay hadn't mentioned Dean being upset and why the hell wasn't Dean answering his cell phone?
