Not sure if anyone is still reading or interested in this as it's been so long since I updated.
Real life got in the way, I had surgery and my Partner has been in hospital and is still in there for almost 5 months now, so I kind of lost the time and enthusiasm to write. Now she is slowly on the mend I am giving writing a go again.
Chapter 53
"Where do you think this leads to?" Olivia asked as they ran down a corridor that was behind the chair Jethro had been sat on.
"God knows."
"The werewolves he had made seemed to be changing back quicker than he was why do you think that was?"
"Maybe it's just because he was the original, he is stronger and older than the rest."
"At least it worked though, and it weakened him," she said as they climbed the stairs at the end of the corridor.
They pushed the door open and walked outside.
"Shit!" said Olivia as they both scanned the large garden in front of them. "He could have gone anywhere."
Elliot held his hand up as he closed his eyes and concentrated. "That way," he said pointing towards the bottom of the garden. "I can hear screaming and people begging for their lives that has to be him."
"El that could be our guys rounding up the wolves," she said as they walked through the garden.
Elliot shook his head. "Listen for yourself," he told her stopping so she could listen.
Olivia closed her eyes and blocked out all the other noises as Elliot had done. "Oh Jesus," she said opening them again. "Its women and children," she said as they moved faster. "They are begging him not to kill them," she said as they began running the screaming and begging becoming louder and louder the closer they ran into the trees.
"They must be close," said Elliot as they both skidded to a stop and looked around.
"That way," she said pointing towards a gap in the trees. Slowly and carefully they made their way through the gap. "I guess we found them," she said as they stood staring at a large stone building with no windows.
"Let's get in there," he said not wanting to waste another minute as a high pitched scream rang out. They ran around the building looking for a door but there wasn't one. "How the fuck do we get in?" He asked looking around frantically.
"I don't know….maybe another tunnel somewhere that we missed."
"We left the same way as he did, I didn't see any other tunnels or doors."
Elliot moved back from the building.
"El?" said Olivia as he looked at the stone wall then began running towards it. He hit it with full force and the brick work cracked slightly.
"Fuck," he grunted moving back to his start point and rubbing his shoulder. He took off running again hitting the wall hard again but making hardly any difference. He felt his shoulder crack.
"El stop before you seriously hurt yourself," Olivia warned him. "There has to be away in."
Olivia concentrated on the ground as they made their way back around the building again.
"Liv," said Elliot pointing off to the side a little. The grass was flattened down from being stood on and left a small track of to the side of the building. "There," he said pointing to a trap door in the ground. Carefully and as quietly as possible he lifted the large metal door up and they both looked down through the gap and the stairs leading down. The sound of screams grew louder now and they heard women begging for their lives and for that of their children.
"Let's go," said Olivia in his head so they could be as quiet as possible. Elliot nodded and led the way down the stone steps and into the dark corridor.
"Please Jethro…Don't do this," they heard a woman beg. "We have been loyal to you; don't do this they are just children."
"I don't care those blood sucking fuckers are not getting their hands on my children."
"So what, your going to kill us all?"
Elliot and Olivia looked at each other before breaking into a run towards the voices.
"What the fuck," breathed Elliot as they entered the underground room. The walls were lined with large cages and in the cages were women and children, they were all naked. Their skin covered in dirt and what looked like bruises.
"Should have known you would find me," said Jethro from the far side of the room, he had a small child in his arms.
"Oh god," said Olivia putting a hand over her mouth as she looked on the floor in front of Jethro. The bodies of women and children lay there. "You …..You killed them?" she said pointing to the bodies.
Jethro just nodded. "I couldn't leave them for you could I."
"These are all your children?" Elliot asked him looking around. There had to be about over fifty cages with at least two children in each.
"Most of them," he grinned. "Some were Seth's and the other guys, but these ones here are mainly mine."
"Here, you have more children somewhere else?"
"We were building a great empire, werewolves would have ruled the world we could have taken over, but then you came along," he said pointing at Olivia. "And all that got ruined."
"You are completely crazy," said Olivia looking at the frightened women. "You have the mothers and your children locked in cages. You use them as breeding machines, and expect them to stay loyal to you."
"Just like every good Bitch should be."
Elliot went to step forward but Olivia put her hand on his arm stopping him, when she saw Jethro's grip on the baby tighten, making it cry out.
"You know there is no way out of this for you don't you," said Olivia. "We are going to kill you tonight and put an end to this. All your children will become human again; all these women will become human again."
Jethro laughed out loud.
"I didn't turn these bitches, we just fucked them and got them pregnant, then when they are no good for us we get rid of them," he snarled.
"You….You just kill them?" asked Olivia.
Jethro laughed "Well they are no good to us once they can't have children, and we can't have them going free and telling everyone."
Olivia saw his hand grip the baby tighter.
"El, we need to do something," she said when she heard the bay struggling for breath. Jethro kept his eyes on them smirking as he slowly squeezed the baby
"I know," he said as he launched himself forward toward Jethro faster than Olivia had ever seen him move. "Get everyone out the cages!" he yelled inside her head, as his hands wrapped around Jethro's neck. The speed Elliot was moving at propelled them across the room and into the brick wall.
The child Jethro was hold dropped from his grip and landed on the pile of bodies on the floor. Olivia moved quickly to the child first and picked him up as she heard the crunch of breaking concrete as Elliot and Jethro slammed into the wall.
Jethro grinned at Elliot through the pain as he felt bones break. "No matter what you do to me my children will revenge me, we will rise again."
"And we will be there to stop them," Elliot growled back his grip on Jethro's throat becoming tighter. "But all these children here, they will all be returned to their human form. All the people you turned without their permission we will help. Your reign of terror is over."
Jethro laughed blood spluttering from his mouth.
"My boys will never let the Vampires win…..Never. They will start again, becoming bigger and stronger, you can't stop us."
"Well maybe we need to show them what will happen to them if they try and we catch them." Elliot told him before banging his head hard against the concrete and knocking him out. He looked around and found some chains and handcuffs using them to secure him tightly. "How is everyone?" he asked turning to Olivia as she snapped open the lock on the cage she as in front of.
"Scared and weak," she said as the women huddled together with the children.
"Thank you," said the woman who had been begging to Jethro as they entered the room. Elliot and Olivia watched as some of the women and children went over to the dead bodies, sobbing as they knelt down beside them. "Jethro would have killed us all."
"Was he telling the truth, none of you women have been turned?" asked Olivia.
The woman nodded. "The children are all wolf though."
"We can help with that," smiled Olivia.
"How did you end up here?" Elliot asked her.
"Some of us taken from the streets, others were born here," she said as a young woman came over to her and took hold of her hand, she was no older than about 15 years old.
"Born here?"
"Yes," she nodded. "He didn't keep all the girls, but he kept some to breed from as soon as they were old enough."
"What did you mean when you said you could help us?" asked the young girl.
"Our blood it, it changes werewolves back to humans, that's why Jethro wanted to take us out."
"So we can all be normal?" she asked smiling.
"If that's what you want," Olivia told her. "We wouldn't force anyone to take the blood."
The older woman looked over at Jethro on the floor who was moaning as he began to come around. "And what about him?"
Elliot and Olivia looked over at him as well.
"I am going to use him as an example as to what will happen if those who don't want to change back step out of line again. Can I leave you to get everyone out of here and outside?" he asked turning to Olivia. "I need to go and see how Dickie is."
"Of course go," she told him.
"I will take that piece of shit with me," he said nodding at Jethro.

Elliot sat down on a large rock and looked below him. Cages had been brought outside and werewolves rounded up and locked inside them. They were being guarded by the FBI whilst the rest of the Vampires were inside the building. Jethro and his sons were locked in separate rooms inside guarded by Elliot's men.
Olivia sat down beside him and took hold of his hand.
"That was quite a nigh huh," she said lifting his hand to her lips and kissing it softly.
"Yeah," he sighed. "We lost a lot of good men and women, but it could have been a lot worse…Dickie," he said his voice breaking. Olivia put her arm around him and moved in closer.
"He is going to be okay El. Melinda is looking after him until we get finished here."
"I know it's just…" he shook his head.
"I know," she said dropping her head against his arm. "I know."
"Kathy is going to kill me."
"I think she will forgive you in time," she said before they fell into silence watching the scene below.
"Sooooo ," said Elliot and Olivia smiled knowing what was coming. "We are having a baby."
"Yup."
"You know it could be dangerous for you."
"I know, but there is nothing we can do now but just go with it. It's not like anything we have done recently is normal, l we will just have to take it one day at a time."
"Yeah," he said smiling for the first time in a long time. "I guess we will. But you're on desk duty," he grinned. "I'm not having you chasing werewolves and god knows what else when you're pregnant. I'm still The Guardian and what I say goes," he chuckled.
"Whatever," she laughed before standing up. "Come on we need to drain a bit more blood from us for those who want to turn back, and we both need to feed."
Elliot took her hand and stood up. "You sure your okay with what we are going to do tonight."
"I'm sure," she nodded. "They need to know what will happen if they step out of line and he needs punished for what he done to John, Dickie and all those other people he turned and killed. Not to mention the babies he killed last night. Jethro is evil and he can't be allowed to live."
"And your okay with how we are going to kill him?"
Olivia nodded. "Like I said the rest need to know what will happen if they decide to stay as wolves, they can't just go around killing people and turning them."
"Vampires used to."
"But they don't now, not since you became Guardian, and together we can make sure it doesn't happen again. There is no reason why at some point in the future Vampires and humans couldn't live together."
Elliot smiled. "The perfect world huh," he said pulling her into a hug.
"Yeah," she smiled against his neck. "And I guess we have plenty of time to make that happen."
Not a massive update but I guess it's still an update.
