Chapter 11 – What I do for love.
No One's POV
Jose made a mocking laugh over the phone. "I see you do remember Angela. I'm sure she'll take good care of this human you seem to value so much. I'd offer to help, but it will be so much more fun to watch and see if you arrive in time. Just to make it fair I'm not going to alert Angela to your coming so nothing will stop her from what she's going to do. Tick Tock Jade."
"Fuck you Jose!" Jade roared as she hung up the phone.
Not missing a beat Jade grabbed her Jacket, Keys and ran to the elevator. "God, of all the fucking vampire's he has to encounter, Tori finds that nutjob." Jade hissed.
It was well known that Angela was known to have been totally psychotic before she even became a vampire. In the 13th century she was a dutch prostitute and serial killer before being turned into a vampire. She butchered women that she thought were prettier than her and did things to them while doing it. Turning her into the undead only made her worse. She had things she liked to do with her prey before finishing them. Things that Jade didn't even like to think about. What made Angela so dangerous was that she could act very friendly and outgoing.
Within in moments Jade was down in her private garage and went for one of the fastest cars she had; a blood red, 2013 Ferrari 458 spider.
"Idiot!" Jade cursed as she burned out of her garage
Tori had arrived at the Red room earlier and gone inside. The bar was in a basement and had blood red walls, a small dance floor, booths, tables a long bar along the wall and looked rather normal. Tori did notice several of the young patrons sporting vampire teeth. Tori was worried about that but saw that many didn't and looked quite normal Inside, she managed to skirt the edge of the crowd and wasn't noticed. After a few minutes of looking for Jade she moved to a far corner of the bar and asked the bartender if Jade was here. He merely shook his head and said no.
Not wanting to give up so easily she asked a few people if they knew if Jade was there. They all said no but eventually a blonde woman with a friendly smile came up to where she was sitting at the bar. She introduced herself as Angela and said she knew Jade. A bit apprehensive, she asked Angela to sit down. The woman was friendly and didn't seem to either care or notice she wasn't a vampire. Tori found that Angela liked music and they ended up talking.
"You know Tori. She mentioned someone, I'll bet that was you. I was talking to her just the other night and she hinted at this new girl she met. Here let me get you another drink." With that Angela motioned to the bartender.
Tori who was glad that someone she met knew Jade, felt a sense of relief. "Thank you, Angela. You said she comes here alot?"
"Oh yes. She usually shows up around this time. We can just sit and get to know each other."
Had Tori remembered what John told her, she would have remembered that Jade isolated herself from her kind and spotted the lie. But Tori was so nervous and trying so hard to look like a vampire, that she simply forgot.
Angela pointed to a booth in the corner. "You know what. Let's get a booth so when Jade arrives we can all just sit and talk.
Tori nodded and while a bit weary, got up and started to go with Angela.
The pair walked across the bar towards and empty booth in the far corner. As they got near the booth, Tori suddenly felt Angela grabbed her wrist very tightly.
It was then Tori noticed a door next to the booth which Angela was now dragging her towards.
"Hey!" Tori protested as she started to reach down into her purse. Before Tori could get her hand even in it, Angela grabbed her by the throat and slammed her against the wall. Angela then let go of Tori's wrist and ripped the purse from her shoulder.
As Tori watched Angela's fangs grew out of her mouth, which had already curved into cruel smile. "You know what, instead of a booth in a noisy bar, how about we go a place a bit more private. But first let's have a little taste shall we. Oh and by the way, Jade isn't coming for you. She never comes here. First I'm going to drain you a bit, to weaken you and make you a bit more docile. Then I can properly get to work."
Angela ran a finger up Tori's arm. "Such lovely skin, I can't wait to have it."
Tori struggled vainly as she suddenly began to panic and freak out. Angela only laughed. She was dead and she knew it.
Angela then let go of Tori's throat and pinned her to the wall with both hands as she started to move ever closer to Tori's neck.
"I'm sorry Jade." The fear gripped Latina whispered as tear came to her eye.
However at that very second she could see what looked like a quick blur behind the blonde vampire. Suddenly a long wooden stake burst from Angela's chest, causing her to release Tori who fell to the ground.
Looking up. Tori could see an extremely pissed off looking Jade. It was she who rammed the wooden stake through Angela's back.
"You know Angela, I always fucking hated you." Jade growled at Angela just before she let out a loud shriek that momentarily drowned out the music playing. Angela grasped at the stake that was sticking out of her chest, but to no avail as she quickly disintegrated leaving only a pile of clothes and dust.
Tori then looked up at Jade with a sense of relief. "Oh Jade…"
"SHUT UP!" Jade barked, looking no less angry, as she grabbed Tori's hand. Tori barely had time to grab her purse before she Jade started to drag her out of the bar. On her way out, she noticed how all the other vampires seemed to move quickly out her way. They all looked very afraid of Jade.
One didn't however. He was a well-dressed Hispanic looking man, with well styled black hair. He was sitting at the end of the bar, sipping a glass of blood, watching the commotion with some interest. Jade recognized him as Jose, who was once a Mayan warrior. Jade could also tell he was immensely enjoying this.
"Jade!" He called out with a smile. "I almost forgot. I had to call in a favor to get your number before I could even call you. So as I see it, you now owe me a favor. Paybacks a bitch aint it."
Jade paused and fumed at Jose for a moment on her way out of the bar.
He then stood up and raised his glass and announced loudly to the bar. "Let's all toast the valliant Jade, who came rushing in her to save her poor little pet human. Lets hope she keeps her pet better managed next time."
The roar of laughter directed at Jade, deepened her humiliation as she pulled Tori to the stairs that led out.
A few seconds later, Jade had pulled Tori out of the bar, towards a parked red Ferrari. "TORI, GET IN THE FUCKING CAR!"
Tori, knowing that she was in trouble, quietly nodded and got in the car. Jade ran around the other side, started the car and peeled off.
Jade who was furious at Tori, began to rant. "Do you know how utterly fucking stupid it was for you to go in there? Do you have any clue what that woman would have done to you. We'll I'll give you a hint. She would have peeled off your skin a bit at a time until there wasn't any left. And that's just to start. She's a master at keeping them alive the entire time. I can't believe you Tori Vega. Going in that place alone was the stupidest fucking thing I've ever seen. That's like invading Russia stupid. You got lucky that someone there tonight owed me a favor and let me know you were there or you would have spent the last few weeks of your life in totally agony. Not to mention that fucker gleefully humiliated me in the process."
"I'm sorry Jade." Tori said as she burst into tears. "I just needed to find you. I'm sorry."
Jade said nothing and sped down the road towards Tori's apartment.
As Tori continued to sob, Jade spoke again after a few minutes. "It's too fucking dangerous around me. I'm going to end this once and for all and I'll make it easy for you."
"What are you going to do to me?" Tori cried.
Jade huffed. "Oh get that out of your head. You'll be fine. I'm just going to wipe your memory. You won't remember I even existed. You go on with your life and I'll do what I intended to do tonight."
Tori put her hands on Jade's arm as she pleaded. "NO Jade, Please No. I need to be with you. Please. Don't erase my memory. I'm sorry I needed to see you so bad. I didn't know where to find you."
Jade gripped the steering wheel hard and seemed to tense up. Though she knew that wiping Tori's memory was the best course of action, deep down it wasn't what she wanted. A struggle soon rose up inside Jade.
All Tori did was keep pleading. "Please Jade. I'm sorry, but you scared me. I was so scared, but after I got mugged I…"
Jade sharply cut her off. "You got mugged?"
Tori nodded and then just continued crying.
Jade pulled over to the curb and put the car in park. For a few seconds he just stared straight ahead as she tried to figure what to do next. She didn't to look at the sobbing Latina as she knew it would only weaken her resolve to end this once and for all.
But Jade couldn't stand the sound of Tori's crying and despite her anger, turned to look. Those tear filled brown eyes, struck deep into her soul, severely cracking her resolve.
"Please Jade….I need to be with you." Tori wimpered.
Jade looked away again, "I'm a killer Tori. I'm a vampire and a killer"
"But you protected me and love me. You can't be all bad. I love you Jade. That's why I needed to find you. I realized that. Please."
Jade sighed and put her head on the steering wheel. "I'm no good for you Tori." Jade said quietly as the last of her resolve began to crumble. She loved Tori and wanted to be with Tori more than anything. Part of her felt the only place Tori would be safe was at her side.
"You wanted me to give you a chance Jade, Please let me do that. I was wrong. At the least just talk with me. Please don't wipe my memory. I can't stand to think of not remembering you." Tori said with a loud sob.
Jade sat up, looked over at Tori who was crying and realized she could no longer help herself. She reached out and pulled Tori into her arms. As Tori cried into her shoulder, Jade whispered.
"I love you Tori. Just don't break my heart. Please."
Jade came to the rescue just in time, but got humiliated in the process by Jose. She wanted to end this and wipe Tori's memory but gave in.
I'm so glad everyone is liking this story so much. My thanks for all the very nice reviews.
