Dark Heart.
Chapter Twenty Five.
Lucifer would not risk harm to Kayla so they went on foot, something vampires rarely do. If not in a carriage most of his brethren would ride a horse. He hoped it would make them harder to find as they fled to Lord Castiel's. He would have to carry her some of the way but he was prepared for that. On foot with a human it would take them most of the day.
It was dark when they got there, Lucifer tried to sneak up to the servants door only to be met by the alpha werewolf.
"Why not use the front door coward?" asked Lucien.
The vampire froze, turned slowly "I doubt my welcome" he replied.
"As you fucking should…you start all this shit Lucifer then come begging for your life, you snivelling coward" snarls the alpha.
"I did not know…keep her safe and do as you please with me but don't give Kayla back to him" said Lucifer.
"It's not up to me what Lord Castiel does with either of you…I'm just taking you to him" grinned the alpha.
Kale appears with the girl in tow "Look who I found" he says.
"Ah good…now lets go see the Lord, shall we" replied Lucien.
Kale takes the human and the alpha falls in behind the vampire as they head inside.
All humans except Dean and Ms Ellen have been told to stay in their rooms til morning. The housekeeper sits in the kitchen waiting. Dean however is draped across his vampires lap wearing nothing but tight crimson leather pants. The vampire lord sits on his throne awaiting his brother, hand absently trailing his finger tips over Dean's exposed chest and stomach. Now when I say draped I mean just that…legs hanging over one arm of the throne, Dean lay on his back across Cas's lap, head almost hanging over the other side. Loving every touch, every brush of his lovers hand he moans his name.
"Cas".
The werewolves escort Lucifer and his human into the room at that moment.
"Look what we caught sneaking around your castle Cas…it's no wonder you need guard dogs" grinned Lucien.
"Why are you here Lucifer?" asked Lord Castiel his hands never stopping.
"To beg for my humans life Castiel…do as you please with me but spare her brother please" replied the vampire.
"Why should I do anything for you Lucifer? You started this with your jealousy and now you dare come begging me to have compassion" said Lord Castiel.
"Not for me…she is caught in this because I love her Castiel. Do not make her suffer because of me, I beg you brother. I'm sorry" said Lucifer as he fell to his knees in front of his brothers throne.
Lord Castiel could see the look in the girls eyes, knew she'd be begging for her vampires life if Kale hadn't gagged her. He sighs.
"You have been a thorn in so many of our sides brother, you and Michael. Most of our kin want you both dead…what will they think if I spare you, will they spare you?" replied Lord Castiel.
The girl breaks out of Kale's hold and rushes to Lucifer's side, throwing herself into his open arms. He removes the gag and she begs "Please Lord…don't kill him".
"As I have said girl, it may not be up to me. We are not the only one's he has offended. Unlike my brother here I actually think before I do things so you will both be held until I decide just what to do about you. Lucien if you would" says Lord Castiel.
The werewolves move forward and pick the vampire and his human up off their knees and take them to the cells under the castle.
Lord Balthazar, Sam and Ruby wander through a market…Sam on the vampires arm, Ruby trailing behind looking at various items as they walked. She loves to shop and does not mind that most of her Lord's attention is on Sam. She is looking at some fabric she thought would look great on Bal when a hand clamped over her mouth, an arm snaked around her and she was taken. When Lord Balthazar turned around to tell her to hurry up she was nowhere in sight "Ruby!" he calls.
Sam scans the crowd for her and see's nothing…they head back to where she had been, Lord Balthazar not letting go of Sam for a moment. They search frantically but do not find her, the vampire sends one of his staff to fetch the others of his house. Those left with him spread out to search for her. Two hours later and nothing had been found…Lord Balthazar sends a messenger to his brother Castiel.
Half an hour after sending the message three werewolves show up with a note from his brother and orders to scent track her.
"Should I send men with you?" asked Lord Balthazar.
"No my Lord, we have her scent and travel faster alone, we'll find her and bring her to your brothers…he wishes you to get Lord Gabriel and go to his castle. Safety in numbers he said" replied Kale.
The vampire was too upset to do much else, he went to his brother's and after a brief explanation he and his Tommy joined Lord Balthazar and Sam.
Lucien had sent three wolves but only two went after the human, the other stayed with the lords…Blaze rode on the back of the carriage in full wolf form, ready to defend in an instant. They are not called the dogs of war for nothing…
The vampire lords are ushered into the castle immediately upon arrival and taken into the largest sitting room. Their brother and his human await them.
"They will find her Bal…werewolves are the best trackers and you know it" said Castiel when he saw his brothers stricken expression.
"If either one of those sick bastards…." started Lord Balthazar.
"Lucifer is locked in my dungeon and has been since last night brother so this is Michael no one else" Lord Castiel cut him off.
"What…how is Lucifer here?" asked Lord Gabriel.
"He was sneaking around trying to get me to save his human" replied Lord Castiel.
"His what?" gasped Gabriel.
"No…" added Balthazar.
"I was shocked too until I saw it brothers…last night I saw a human beg for Lucifer's life" replied Lord Castiel.
His brothers sat stunned, both of them just gaping at him…
"I caught him at the servant door" added Lucien as he walked in "Hello Balthazar…Gabriel".
"Lucien…thank you for sending Kale to search for Ruby I will not forget this ever" said Lord Balthazar.
"I hope they find her quickly and unharmed" replied the alpha.
"Yes we do too" said Dean.
Lord Balthazar sits snuggled against Sam, Lord Gabriel and Tom sit together on another couch both look very worried.
"I'll go see if they planned this or if Michal is just trying to hurt those on my side" said Lord Castiel.
"Thank you brother…Lucifer may know where she'd be taken" replied Lord Balthazar.
Lord Castiel nods as he gets up, he turns, leans down and kisses Dean before saying "Keep our family and friends company until Lucien and I return my love".
"Of course I will" replies Dean.
The vampire lord and the alpha werewolf leave them to go question Lucifer. Dean gets up calls Ms Ellen and asks her bring drinks for everyone, stronger the better considering most weren't human.
"Lucifer…did you and Michael plan to snatch our humans?" asked Lord Castiel as he walked up to the cell door.
"No…we never actually planned anything. I went and bitched to him about you saying no to me and he distracted me with toys" said Lucifer.
"Then what?" asked Lucien.
"He was called away and I found Kayla…I just wanted her then and actually forgot about your boy until Beth came to tell me you wanted me dead over it" replied Lucifer.
"You really are a piece of work Lucifer…you put your brothers life in danger then forget about it. Cas, can I shred this bitch?" said Lucien in disgust.
"No Lucien…we may need the little bastard yet. Let him sit here awhile longer" replies Lord Castiel as he shakes his head and turns away from the cell.
Lucien grins at Lucifer and says "I really hope he lets me eat you".
"Love to see you explain that to Kale" snapped Lucifer.
"Like I explain myself to my pack you stupid vampire" spat the alpha as he walked away.
*All reviews welcome. Poor Ruby will the wolves find her in time ? Will Lord Balthazar get over it if she isn't found alive? Will Michael get his ass kicked ? The answers to these questions and more coming up in the next few chapters*
