Sorry for the delay in this chapter but I had a serious case of writers block. Hopefully I have got through it with this chapter. Thanks to everyone who gave me help and ideas to get through it. Just hope you all think it was worth the wait.
Chapter 29
"Turn down the next track," Elliot told Luke as he got his phone out his pocket. He had numerous missed calls from Olivia and two voice mails. He pressed the voicemail button and put the phone to his ear.
"First new message," the automated voice told him. "Stabler pick up your fucking phone!" yelled Olivia. "I swear to god I'm gonna kill you for this. I guess you know by now I am on my way back….Just pick up your damn phone…..Fuck…" she said before the phone line went dead.
"She sounds pissed," said Luke smirking.
"Yeah," he sighed. "I'm sure she will calm down eventually and realise why I done it."
"I would just keep any swords, knives or stakes away from her for a while," chuckled Martin from the backseat.
"Stop here," Elliot told him. "We will run the rest of the way."
Luke nodded and stopped the car, killing the lights. The rest of the cars pulled in behind them and the track went into darkness. Elliot turned in his seat, despite how dark it was he could see them all perfectly.
"You all injected the blood I gave you?" he asked them.
They all nodded.
"You could have told us how much it hurt at first?" said Rosanna who had been quiet the full trip. "I thought I was going to die," she grumbled.
"That's funny Olivia didn't moan that much about the pain when she took it straight into the heart."
He heard Luke chuckling and saw Martin grinning.
"Yeah well we aren't all as perfect as your precious Olivia," she scowled.
Elliot climbed out the car and gave a low whistle, and the rest of his men got out the cars and joined him.
"We are about ten miles from the lodge; we go the rest of the way on foot fast and silent. I expect Sirus to have men out there surrounding the lodge, that's what I would do. Kill any of his men that you find quickly and quietly I don't want any prisoners….. Except Sirus."
His men nodded.
"Nobody kills him but me. If you find him you bring him to me."
"Yes Sir," they all said.
"Martin, Rosanna split the men between you and take left and right flanks, Luke and I will go up through the middle. There is a tunnel entrance half way over the ridge that leads to the lodge. We will take that and go straight there."
"Do you think that's a good idea?" asked Rosanna.
"What do you mean?"
"What if Sirus is already at the lodge waiting for you? You won't have any back up."
"I will be fine. And Sirus isn't there yet," he told her getting out his phone. "Arnie has been ringing every 15 minutes. He doesn't call I know Sirus is there or something has happened. I just need you, Martin and the men to take out as many of Sirus's men as possible. When you get close to the lodge surround it but stay out of sight."
"Okay," said Martin. "We best get going then. ….I guess I will see you at the lodge," he said to Elliot.
"Just be careful," Elliot told him holding out his hand. Martin took it and pulled him into a hug.
"Don't you dare get yourself killed," he told Elliot. "Cause I don't want to be the one to have to tell Olivia."
Elliot smiled and nodded. "You be careful as well," he said stepping back.
"What the hell," sighed Rosanna as she watched them, "I think I'm going to cry, the male bonding and love is just too much."
"Fuck you," they both said at the same time, she shook her head and grinned at them stepping forward.
"I might take the piss, but Martin is right be careful. It's not just Olivia that needs you alive, we all do."
Elliot smiled at her "I think that is the nicest thing you have ever said to me," he told her.
"Okay guys," said Martin. "Let's go…See you at the lodge," he smiled to Elliot before taking off into the night.
Elliot turned to Rosanna. "What you waiting for?"
"What no hug for me."
"Just get going," he told her and like that she was gone.
"Come on," said Elliot to Luke. "The sooner we get to the lodge the sooner this is over."

Olivia slowly opened her eyes and blinked a few times. She was swaying back and forth and her arms were aching and her wrists sore.
"Well, well the princess is awake," chuckled Sirus.
"Fuck," she moaning when she moved her jaw and pain shot through it and then looked down and saw she was naked. She looked up and saw her wrists were cuffed and she was hanging from a chain attached to the roof of the van. "Seriously I threaten you that much that you have to chain me up?" she asked him looking around the truck they were in.
Sirus laughed. "Oh no," he said leaning back against the side of the truck. Something inside the wooden crate he was on moved banging against the inside. "I just like to look at you….. All of you," he said his eyes wandering over her body.
"Well take a good look cause this is the last female body your ever going to see before Elliot rips you apart."
"Ooooh Olivia," he said as he stood up and went towards her. "Your precious Elliot won't stand a chance against me. You see he thinks he is so clever doesn't he? Sending his little human family to a different lodge, to keep them safe, did he really think I would fall for that, did he really think I was that stupid."
"No, I think he knows your that stupid," she grinned. "I mean you haven't got his family have you, their still safe and hidden away."
"That's what you think huh."
Olivia looked at him and saw the smug look on his face.
"If you even look at his kids wrong I will kill you."
"Olivia I killed his Master after I drank her blood, I almost drained her dry, I've got you and I will soon have him," he said as he raised his hand and ran a single finger down her cheek and neck and across her collar bone. Olivia cringed at his touch and tried to move away from him but all she done was swung from the chain, making him laugh, as his finger moved lower and across her breast circling her nipple. "And once your all dead I will go after his kids."
"Get the fuck off me," she said through gritted teeth. "You fucking freak."
"Now, now Olivia no need for that."
"Shit!" she gasped as his sharp finger nail cut into her breast, blood trickling down over her nipple. He looked up at her grinning, his fangs showing and his eyes were jet black.
"Just a little taste," he said licking his lips.
"Don't you fucking dare," she warned him as his head moved closer and his tongue licked at the blood that was dripping from her nipple, her body flinched and she felt the bile rising in her throat as he moaned and took her nipple into his mouth and sucked hard. "I'm going to enjoy watching as Elliot rips your heart from your chest," she said through gritted teeth, as he bit down on her breast. She wanted to scream out with the pain but she refused to give him the satisfaction.
The van turned sharply onto a track and Sirus gave her breast a final lick and stood up right.
"Looks like we are nearly there," he smiled at her banging on the side of the truck and it braked suddenly stopping. Olivia just stared at him. "Well, well," he smiled. "What is going on here?" he asked looking at her red eyes. "This isn't normal, the red eyes," he said getting close and looking directly in her eyes.
"Screw you," she snapped.
"That will happen a bit later. Maybe let your precious Elliot watch before I kill you….."
Olivia swallowed hard and tried not to show him how scared she actually was.
"But right now I need to feed before we get there," he said turning to the crate and pulling the top off. He reached inside and pulled out a young girl.
"Sirus," the girl mumbled as he yanked her roughly out.
"Did you two ever meet?" he asked Olivia holding the girl up by her hair.
Olivia shook her head as she stared at the girl. She was naked and covered in blood.
"Elliot threw her out. Told her to go and live in the mountains. He told her she was no longer welcome in his little gang."
"Anabella?"
"Oh so you have heard of her then."
Olivia nodded.
"I found her and helped her to remove the implant. She begged me to let her join my coven. She told me all about Elliot and you….."
"What have you done to her?"
He grinned as he looked down at Anabella, "Elliot isn't the only one with an older vampire to feed from to make him stronger. And I got to say it's true what they say the older the Vampire the better the blood."
"Sirus please…." Begged Anabella "I told you everything, let me go."
"Oh no, I can't do that. You see you have one more thing that I need from you first, one more thing that will make me stronger."
She looked up at him her eyes wide, she looked petrified. "No Sirus please… don't… please I told you I would help you."
"Oh you will help me."
Olivia looked between Sirus and Anabella as Sirus held her up in front of him with one hand and smiled as he reached behind him and took out a large knife. Anabella struggled in his arms.
"Keep still it will only hurt more if you wiggle about," he told her as he plunged the knife into the top of her chest.
"NO!" screamed Olivia as she watched him split her front open. Anabella screamed as he ripped through her then dropped the knife and reached inside her chest and grabbed her heart. He twisted it in his hand and pulled tearing it from her body as her body went limp and blood dripped to the floor. Sirus dropped her limp body to the floor of the truck and held up the heart in his hand in front of his face.
"So beautiful," he said licking his lips. He looked at Olivia as he raised the heart to his mouth and opened his mouth his fangs showing as he bit into it, blood spurting out and down over his hand as he ate the heart and drank the blood moaning in pleasure. Olivia looked away and down to the floor as she gagged. She was unable to hold it in as she vomited, Sirus laughed out loud as he began to slowly chew on the heart muscle, moaning in pleasure with the taste.

"So you decided what you're going to do yet?" Arnie asked Fin as he looked out the window into the dark woods.
"What do you mean?"
"Well when Elliot gets here he will give you a choice. You either stay and fight with him or he will put you out there to join Sirus."
"Some fucking choice," he mumbled.
Arnie spun around from the window. "What the hell is your problem?" he asked him.
"You really need to ask."
"Yeah I do. Elliot is a good man. Since the day I met him all he has done is try to keep people safe. Putting his own life in danger."
"But that's just it isn't it? He isn't a man is he? He is a freak, he shouldn't be here. He should be dead."
"And what you think if he was none of this would be happening?"
"Well this Sirus wouldn't be after us would he? He is only after us because of Elliot, if Elliot was dead he wou…..."
"And Olivia," said Arnie cutting him off.
"What?"
"Sirus isn't after you all just because of Elliot, he is after you all because of what Elliot and Olivia done. What I done and Martin. We all stood up to him and his thugs. They stopped Sirus getting those kids and kept them safe. Elliot and Olivia killed his men and he wants revenge. Whether Elliot was here or not Sirus would have come for you. The only thing that stopped him coming here sooner was because Elliot was hunting him down and Sirus needed to time to put a plan together, make his coven stronger."
Fin never spoke as Arnie talked.
"If Elliot had been killed instead of being turned you would be dead by now, you all would, I would … or even worse, you could be turned yourself or one of his half breeds. You can blame Elliot all you want but everything he has done and will do, he will do to save the people he cares about. Fin, Elliot is the same person that you used to know, in here," he said tapping his heart. "He is just stronger and faster….."
"And dead."
Arnie smiled. "Sort of, nobody knows exactly what they are, I mean their heart still beats and they can be killed, so they aren't exactly dead."
Fin sighed and slumped into the chair and leant forward dropping his head into his hands. "I just can't get my head around it all. It's all too much…. I tried to kill my friend, because I was scared, because he scared me…..I was scared of him, I didn't think twice I just pulled the trigger."
"Well let's hope you can do the same thing when Sirus's men come for us," said Elliot from across the room.
"Thank god for that," said Arnie smiling. "You made it okay."
Elliot nodded.
"Did the others get up to the lodge okay?" asked Arnie.
"Sort of," said Elliot as Luke walked over to the window and looked out scanning the area. "Olivia was a little pissed when she got there. Threw a major strop, then got on the bike and took off heading back to the city."
Arnie smiled. "Like you didn't know that was going to happen… What about Lucy?"
"She is safe I got her out of the club as soon as it got dark, four of the men will stay with her."
"Thank you," said Arnie patting his arm.
Elliot nodded and walked over to Luke. "Anything?" he asked.
"I can see and hear movement out in the trees. Let's hope our guys surprise them and take a lot of them out."
"Yeah," said Elliot looking out into the darkness before turning back to Arnie who was sat on a stool. "You have weapons?" he asked him.
Arnie nodded, and Elliot reached into his pocket. "Here," he said handing him a small bottle of blood.
"Yours?"
"Yeah, just in case."
Arnie took it from him and put it in his pocket. "I will only take it if I have to."
Elliot turned to Fin who was stood by the far wall next to the fire place. "So you decided what you want to do?" he asked him.
"Why do you care so much?" Fin asked him. "Why didn't you just kill me after I tried to shoot you?"
"You mean when you did shoot me," said Elliot raising his eyebrows.
"Yeah," he said looking at the floor. "You should hate me, not want to help me."
Elliot sighed and rested against the wall.
"When I was turned and I took on the role of Guardian, I swore to protect humans and that is what I will do. You are my friend Fin and I know it was because you were scared and shocked that you tried to kill me. Hell even Olivia went to pull her gun on me when I turned up, and punched me."
Fin smiled for the first time since he had seen Elliot again.
"I swear on my kid's lives Fin, I'm not here to harm you. I know what I am and what is happening is a lot to take in and I really wish you didn't need to know about any of it, but you do. I have a hard enough job going after the bad guys without needing to watch my back from the people I care about as well. I want to be able to trust you."
They both sat in silence for a few minutes.
"You come anywhere near my neck with those fangs and I swear to god I will aim better next time."
Elliot turned his head towards him and smiled. "I will keep them away from you I promise," he told him. "I don't think I would like your blood anyway."
"Why the hell not?" he asked him. "What's wrong with it?"
"You eat all that raw fish and shit," he said shuddering. "Fishy blood…. You can keep it."

Kathleen threw the cards onto the table. "I quit," she sighed standing up and stretching. She looked around the large living room of the lodge. Joseph was at the far side looking out the window. Munch and Dana were keeping watch out the second window. Cragen, Munch and Haung were sat on the couch talking and Melinda, Casey and Alex were in the kitchen.
She walked over to Joseph.
"Everything still okay," she asked him.
He nodded but never took his eyes away from the window.
"I'm sure we will be safe here. You all left in daylight so none of Sirus's men could have followed you then when it was daylight, and no one followed the truck so we should be okay. We have men out there checking the perimeter and Sam and Liam are up on the roof."
Kathleen nodded. "Joseph, will my dad be okay?"
"Your dad is strong, Kathleen and he has good men with him. If anyone can stop Sirus it is him."
"I just don't want to lose him again, we just got him back."
"I'm sure by this time tomorrow we will all be back at the club celebrating," he said turning to her and smiling. Kathleen smiled back and turned around and headed into the kitchen and got a bottle of water from the fridge.
"This is like a really bad sleep over," said Casey taking a bite out of her sandwich.
"More like being stuck in one of those horror stories," sighed Alex. "I mean seriously a log cabin in the middle of a forest waiting for the sun to rise I'm starting to feel like I'm in a real life version of the Evil Dead."
"Really Alex I don't think we need any of these images in our head," laughed Melinda.
"Yeah can we not go there please," said Casey. "You okay Kathleen?" she asked her.
"Yeah, just want all this to be over and be back with dad and Liv."
"It should all be over soon Honey," said Melinda patting her arm.
"What the hell?" asked Dana loudly, everyone turned to look at her.
"What the hell is he doing here, how did he find us?" asked Munch.
Joseph ran over. "Who is it?" he asked her pushing Munch out of the way to look out the window.
"Porter," she told him. "We used to work together, he disappeared days ago. He wouldn't answer his phone, no sign of him and his apartment empty."
"And he suddenly shows up here," said Joseph staring out the window as Porter walked towards the house. "Where the hell are the men walking the perimeter, why haven't they stopped him?"
"I don't like this," said Dana as Porter got closer.
"Liam, Sam you there?" asked Joseph, he nodded when he heard them answer. "Okay good. Keep an eye on him."
"What did they say?" asked Munch.
"They heard noises from the trees but didn't see anything. None of our task force can be seen."
"Let me talk to him," said Dana.
"Okay, but stay inside the doorway," said Joseph. "If any Vampires are out there they can't get us in here."
Dana nodded and went to the door.
"Captain you and George do a quick sweep and check all the doors are locked. Everyone else check your guns are loaded."
Everyone nodded and soon the only sound in the room where the quiet clicks of guns being checked as Dana opened the door.
"What you doing here Porter," she shouted over.
"I have a proposition for you," he called back.
"Where have you been the last few days. You haven't been in the office? We searched everywhere for you."
"I got a better offer than what the FBI could offer me," he smiled.
"A better offer?"
"Yeah….. A million dollars, and the promise that I will live a long life."
"And what did you have to do for that?"
"Just follow you which was easy to do when I put a tracker on your bike."
"Follow me, but why?"
"Why do you think," he laughed. "I have only done exactly the same as you and joined up with the enemy."
"I never sided with the enemy I helped the ones who are on our side, the ones who are trying to do good. They aren't all bad like we first thought."
"Who are you trying to kid?" he asked her. "They are evil fuckers who shouldn't be here, there are no good ones."
Dickie heard what he said and ran to the door.
"Your wrong!" he yelled. "My dad is good, he would never hurt anyone."
"You think so huh. Why don't you ask him about the ones he kept in cells, the ones he used or feeding on, you think they asked for that? Sirus told me how Stabler caught them and kept them locked up, he didn't care they were still part human."
"Your lying," yelled Dickie making Porter laugh out loud. Dickie turned around and looked inside at Joseph. "Please tell me he is lying."
"He is lying," Joseph told him. "The people your Dad kept in the cells were half breeds. We couldn't do anything for them. They were evil rapists and murderers before and were even worse once Sirus got them, we couldn't let them go, but we couldn't hand them over to the police either, so your dad kept them in the cells, and yes your dad and the rest of us fed on them, it saved us using good humans or taking blood from the blood bank."
"You wouldn't lie to me?" asked Dickie.
"No Dickie I wouldn't," he smiled. Dickie turned back around.
"You lying Fucker!" he yelled making everyone inside smile as he went back in.
"Nicely put Dickwad," said Kathleen high fiving him.
"You should just turn around and leave," Dana told Porter.
"I can't do that," he said. "Not until I have proof from Sirus that his family is dead."
All the kids looked at each other as Dickie put his arm around Lizzy. Dana looked back into the room at the kids all stood there.
"You would really do that?" she asked Porter.
"For a million dollars and everlasting life… damn right I would and will."
"We have men out in the woods, you won't stand a chance," she warned him. "Just leave now."
Porter looked around. "You mean the men we killed earlier. I mean I think we got them all but I can't be sure."
"Shit," said someone inside the lodge.
"Did you forget Dana? We used to do this together. Hunt them down and kill them. But it's a lot easier when you have a load of half breeds helping you," he grinned as about twenty men walked out of the tree line and stood behind him.
"Fuck," cursed Joseph. "Kids get upstairs," he ordered them, they all looked but didn't move. "Now!" he yelled as the men outside started running towards the lodge.

Arnie, Fin and Luke watched as Elliot paced back and forwards, he had been doing it for the last half hour. He stopped suddenly and looked towards the window, as Luke walked over to him.
"There's a truck coming," he said going to the window. He watched as a truck came down the track and turned around in the open space outside the lodge and stopped so the back door was facing them.
"No," said Elliot looking at Luke. Luke just nodded. "Olivia is in the truck."
Elliot went to run to the door but Luke got in the way. "You can't go out there, not just yet," he told him.
"He has Olivia!" he yelled.
"Yes he does, but she is alive," said Luke. "Guardian I know you want to get to her but you don't know who else is out there and how many."
"I don't fucking care," he growled.
"And if you go out there and get killed what about your kids? What about Olivia?" asked Luke, Elliot glared at him his blood burning with rage as it ran through his veins.
"El, he's right man. You need to play this out," said Fin coming over to them.
"GUARDIAN!" yelled Sirus. "I can hear you in there and they are right," he laughed. "Why don't you come on out so we can talk face to face."
"Just keep calm," said Luke putting a hand on Elliot's shoulder. Elliot nodded took a deep breath and opened the door, stepping out onto the porch. The truck was still sat there in silence.
"Show your self Sirus," said Elliot his eyes scanning the tree line but couldn't see or hear anything. His men may or may not be out there, he just didn't know.
"Sirus!" he called again getting impatient. He heard Sirus chuckling as the roller doors on the back of the truck started to open and light from inside the truck flooded the area.
"Oh Jesus," said Elliot going to move forward as Luke joined him and stopped him.
Olivia was hanging naked from the roof of the truck her body covered in blood. Sirus was stood next to her blood around his mouth and covering his top.
"Elliot," Olivia mumbled unable to lift her head.
"It's okay baby, I'm here," he said back to her.
"I'm sorry," she told him. "I should have stayed away."
"That isn't you Liv. I should have just brought you here with me."
He heard her sniffle, "I love you so much."
"I love you too everything is going to be okay."
Sirus started to laugh as he stepped closer to Olivia and ran one of his sharp nails down her arm cutting her blood trickling down her arm.
"I wouldn't be too sure of that," he told them.
"Get your fucking hands off her," Elliot warned him.
"Bit late for that Guardian," he grinned. "I already tasted her," he said leaning into her and licking her. "And she tastes so fucking good."
Elliot went to move forward.
"Don't," Sirus warned him. "Unless you want my men to kill your kids, your Captains lodge is apparently a lovely place."
Before Elliot could even say anything Arnie was on his cell phone calling the lodge.
"Anything?" asked Elliot.
Arnie shook his head.
Elliot turned back to Sirus. "If anything happens to them…"
"Yeah…. Yeah I know, you will kill me," he said as though he was bored. "So you have said."
"You can't win here Sirus, I have men everywhere, surrounding the lodge. You will never get out of here alive."
Sirus shrugged. "Maybe not, but I will have fun trying. And when I do try I will take as many of your loved ones with me."
"What the hell happened to you, to make you so pissed off with everyone?"
"Not everyone….. Only you and this bitch," he said scratching Olivia down her side with his nails making her scream.
"You have been out of control since before we even met you."
"I may have been out of control I may have done a few things I shouldn't have, but you two….. you…"
"We what? What exactly did we do to piss you off so much? Did you really think we would just let you take those kids…. How fucking stupid are you? You had to be stopped."
"Still nothing," said Arnie as he kept trying to ring someone in Cragen's lodge.
"You won't get an answer," Sirus told him. "Because I am going to kill or have everyone killed that you love, just like you did to me three years ago."
"What?" asked Elliot his eyes fixed on Olivia.
"You killed my Partner… my wife and our son."
"What the hell are you going on about?" he asked starting to panic as he heard Olivia's heart starting to slow.
"Stay with me baby "He said to himself. "Just stay with me."
"You and Oliva killed them in that town!" he yelled. "Stabbed them through their hearts."
"Your people were killing innocent men, women and children we couldn't just let you do that."
"I love you so much El," he heard in his head. His eyes went straight to Olivia whose head was still dropped forward.
"Liv?" he said in his head.
"Yeah….. I love you," she said in his head again.
"I love you to," he told her without speaking.
"Well I don't care what you could and couldn't do you took everything I loved from me and I will do the same to you….. And then I will kill you as well," he growled grabbing hold of Olivia's head with one hand as he yanked the chains down from the roof with the other. "Say goodbye," he smirked
"SIRUS NOOO!" he screamed as Olivia opened her eyes and looked at him.
"Kill him El," he heard her voice say as Sirus twisted Olivia's head and snapped her neck.
"OLIVIA!" he cried as Sirus dropped her limp body to the floor and he listened to her heart beating one last time.
Well hopefully that was okay and I came through my writers block okay. I promise I will try my best to get the next chapter out a lot quicker.
