Guest: Thanks for the review. I wondered too at times. I treat it as disposing of the remains of dead bodies.
Chapter 3- Deacon Frost
Metro-General Hospital
Dr. Karen Jenson and her colleague, Dr. Curtis Webb, were checking over the burnt body of Quinn.
"The guy is burnt pretty badly", Webb said as he looked at him with a torch.
"Who would do this to him I wonder?" Jenson said as she checked him.
"His sugar's uric and phosphoric acids are off the charts", Webb informed. "And the red blood cells are biconvex."
"Thank you for reminding me why I broke up with you", Karen scoffed and sighed while Curtis looked a bit offended.
"Come check for yourself, Karen", Webb offered indignantly.
Suddenly, the burnt Quinn got up and before either of the doctors could process what was going on, he grabbed Webb and bit him hard on the side of his neck, making him gasp in pain. Quinn continued biting as blood poured out of Webb's neck and mouth.
Quinn threw him on the ground and he spasmed violently. The burnt man then turned to Karen and roared madly.
As he leapt at her, she pushed open the door behind her and bolted out. Before she could run further, Quinn grabbed her and tried to bite her. The doctors and nurses screamed in terror at the sight before them as Quinn managed to bite her neck at last while she screamed, her vision slowly fading as she yelled. "CALL SECURITY!"
As the doctor and the burnt man's struggle slowed down due to Quinn biting Karen, she whispered. "Someone help…me….."
Some nurses ran off to do what Karen said as Quinn was about to drink some of her blood from her neck. But then he noticed her gaze fixed on someone or something in front of her.
He looked up and was shocked to see the dark-skinned man from the nightclub striding towards them. Before he could do anything, the man punched Quinn hard on the face, stunning him as the wounded Karen fell down.
"Came back to finish you off", the dark skinned man said.
"GET OUT OF MY WAY YOU FREAK!" Quinn yelled and tried to run past him but the man grabbed him and punched him hard, sending him staggering towards a wall.
Quinn picked up a fire cylinder and tried to throw it on him but the man brandished his sword and cut off his hand, making him scream in pain. Quinn's hand fell down in front of the fallen Karen and disintegrated in a green light.
"Freeze!"
The man and Quinn turned to see two guards pointing their guns at them.
To the surprise of both of them, the guards fired at the dark skinned man, allowing Quinn a chance to run off.
The man was unaffected though due to the bullets hitting his strong, bulletproof armor and said to them angrily. "Motherfuckers are you out of your damn minds?!"
The two guards ran off in fear as the man turned to see the burnt Quinn pushing past two nurses and running through a door. He jumped towards the window, crashing through it and falling down into an ambulance.
The patient inside screamed in terror on seeing him as the ambulance came to a stop. Quinn pushed open the door and ran out, turning towards a dark alley.
But that was when he saw two figures blocking his way, ready to fight him. He recognized them both. One was Daredevil and the other was the Black Sky.
"Out of my way!" He roared as he prepared to run past them.
Matt brandished his club and twirled it as Elektra brandished her sword, both ready to fight.
"Have to do this the hard way then", Quinn snarled as he leapt at them but they leapt out of the way and Elektra kicked him on the back of the feet, staggering him while Matt flip-kicked him on the face, staggering him once more.
Matt tried to elbow him but Quinn dodged and grabbing him by the throat with one hand, slammed him on the ground. He then bared his teeth and brought his face closer, ready to bite him, when Elektra grabbed him from behind in a chokehold of sorts and the two struggled.
Her own superhuman strength allowed her to struggle against the physically superhuman vampire, but he was still stronger. As he tried to shake her off, she yelled. "Daredevil! Now!"
Matt immediately brandished a stake and threw it with incredible force. It hit Quinn right where his heart was and he stopped struggling, grunting in anger instead. Elektra then grabbed the stake and drove it further into him as he screamed in pain while blood poured out of his mouth.
And then he disintegrated in a green light as Matt and Elektra stood there.
"Good job", Matt complimented.
"Couldn't have done it without you, husband", Elektra said with a smile as the two shared a quick kiss.
Up above, Blade was walking away, past the wounded Karen, when he stopped and looked at her instead. She was reaching out for him, as if calling for help, which he had no doubt she was.
He started walking away when a faint memory of his dying mother reaching out to him when he had been born returned to him. He looked at Karen for a second before starting to walk away again when the memory came to his head once more. He looked at Karen and could tell she resembled his mother to an extent from what she looked like in his memory.
So he couldn't bring himself to kill Karen or leave her. Against his own natural instincts, he lifted her up in his arms just as several guards arrived, weapons out, ready to shoot at him.
He ran with her to through a door right towards a window. Looking back, he smirked at the guards before leaping out while holding Karen, his trenchcoat swaying in the air.
He landed on the opposite side of the roof but Karen slipped from his hands and would have dropped down had he not grabbed her wrist in time. She screamed in horror, dangling from side to side like a pendulum as Blade tried to pull her up.
Matt and Elektra looked up on hearing Karen's screams so Matt wrapped an arm around Elektra before firing his club upwards, grappling up with it. They landed on the roof and quickly ran next to Blade, with Matt grasping Karen's arm. The two pulled her up and they ran to a side, hiding to avoid bullets being fired at them by the guards from the window of the hospital.
"My shoulder…dislocated…" Karen groaned.
"There", Matt said as he pointed at a certain spot on her shoulder. Blade grabbed her shoulder by that spot and twisted it, making her scream as he painfully put the shoulder back in place.
As the guards returned with shotguns, the four ran and Blade held Karen again as they jumped from the rooftop, disappearing into the dark of the night while Karen passed out.
Later, next morning
Blade, Matt and Elektra walked out of his car, the former holding Karen as they entered Blade's base, where an old man was working. Seeing them, he stood up as Blade greeted him. "Whistler."
"Bringing in strays and vigilantes now?" Whistler asked.
"They helped me last night", Blade said.
"After he saved us", Matt added.
"Now we're in on the vampire stuff", Elektra told him. Whistler nodded, seeming satisfied.
"She's been bitten", Blade said as he gestured to Karen.
"Should've killed her, then", Whistler said as Blade put Karen on the table.
"Yeah, I know", Blade said as he took off his shades. "But I didn't."
"Any particular reason?" Elektra asked as Matt turned to her. "Just asking."
"Not your business", Blade said as Whistler walked up to inspect Karen.
"You watch her close. If she starts to turn, you finish her off. Or I will", Whistler told Blade firmly.
"Uhhhhh….." Karen groaned.
"Her heart's slowing down minute by minute", Matt said.
"She's borderline", Whistler agreed as he observed her neck. "Another hour, she'd be well into the change."
"We have to do something", Elektra said.
"Trust him. He will", Blade told her.
"Dr Karen Jenson", Whistler said after looking at her nametag. He then took out a syringe and instructed. "Listen close. I'm going to inject you with Allium Sativum- garlic."
"So that does work", Elektra muttered.
"This is going to hurt-a lot", Whistler said before slowly bringing the syringe closer to her. She groaned before slowing down as her breathing was still labored.
"It was Quinn", Blade told Whistler.
"Frost's little errand boy?" Whistler asked and Blade nodded. "You get a lead on him?"
"No", Blade said.
"We had to off the guy", Elektra informed Whistler.
"He was too much", Matt agreed.
"Too bad", Whistler said before injecting Karen at last.
"Uhhhhhh…" She groaned.
"Hold her", Whistler commanded and Matt, Blade and Elektra immediately did, stopping her in one place as her breathing became labored.
They let her go as she passed out in the moment.
"I give her fifty-fifty…if she makes it through the night", Whistler told the three.
"Those are not good odds", Matt said grimly as Blade walked away.
"Where are you going?" Elektra asked.
"To get more garlic", Blade said as he walked out.
"I think we should learn all we can about vampires if we are to fight them", Elektra said.
"Very well then", Whistler said and gestured them to sit down. They did and he started telling them everything he knew from experience.
The Shadow Council of the House of Erebus were sitting on chairs around their round table, discussing the problem of Blade.
"Blade, the "Day Walker". Once again, our interests have fallen victim to his ridiculous crusade", The one knows as Dragonetti told the others before asking another called Pallintine. "How many died?"
"We don't have an exact count", Pallintine said and it was silent as everyone in the room, especially Dragonetti fumed in anger. "Apparently he used a lot of silver."
"Send in Frost", the overlord known as Gitano commanded.
Seconds later, the boardroom door opened and in walked a young, medium-sized, handsome and attractive vampire whose looks would make anyone drool over him for at least a few seconds. There was passion shining in his eyes as he smoked his cigarette, looking like a smug schoolboy who had been sent to the Principal's office and considered it an achievement.
He sat on a vacant chair and continued smoking as Dragonetti said to him in the Slavic tongue. "You're a disgrace to the vampire nation Frost. If we break the treaty and gather in numbers, the human politicians will make our life very difficult."
Frost just looked at the ceiling and continued to smoke, unconcerned by the tone of Dragonetti. As if a bunch of human politicians would dare challenge the mighty vampires.
"You would understand if you were a pureblood", Dragonetti sneered but Frost still seemed unconcerned.
"These nightclubs of yours are dangerous", Palllintine said.
"Are they?" Frost asked rhetorically.
"They draw needless attention to our kind", Pallitine raised his point. "You know our policy."
"Your policy, not mine", Frost said boldly without hesitation as all glared at him.
"Our livelihood...depends on our ability to blend in and our discretion", overlord Gitano said.
"Maybe it's time we forgot about discretion", Frost suggested ambitiously as he looked at everyone. "We should be ruling the humans, not running around making back-alley treaties with them. For fuck's sake, these people are our food, not our allies."
"You're out of line, Frost", Pallintine said carefully.
"Am I?" Frost asked as he got up and started pacing around. "Or maybe I'm just the first to say out loud what we've all been thinking."
"We have existed this way for thousands of years. Who are you to challenge our ways?" Gitano asked as Frost moved to him. "You're not even a pureblood."
Frost glared at him angrily, looking like he would slap the overlord. He sat on the table right in front of him and bringing his face closer sneered. "Like it matters."
"I was born a vampire, as was every other member of this house, but you, Frost...you were merely turned", Gitano told him, unphased by Frost's closeness to him as Frost smoked on his face disrespectfully.
"The world belongs to us, not the humans", Frost said as he got up. "You know that."
"Do we have any other business to discuss?" Gitano asked, ignoring the young turned vampire.
"Well, uh... there's the matter of our offshore accounts", Pallintine said. "We're having difficulty—"
"And have you made the transfer to the—"
"Gitano..."
Conversation stopped as all looked at Deacon for interrupting the overlord.
"…..You may wake up one day and find yourself extinct", Deacon told him with a grimace before storming off.
And done. Short I know but we're still setting stuff up.
So one big change from the movie is that because of Matt's and Elektra's addition, Quinn got offed very early, right at the hospital part.
Hope everyone enjoyed and see you all next time with another chapter.
