Blood and Promises

Chapter 4- Telephone Calls.
The phone wrang as he walked in the door, and with a quick flick of his wand, it was in his hand.
"Creevy."
"I need whatever information the Twins gave you."
"Hell to you too Harry.
How are you?"
"Very funny Collin. The files?"
"I haven't even gone through them yet."
"Why the fuck not!?"
"I just walked in the door! Can't it
wait until morning?"
"No, I need it now."
"Fine, give me an hour and I'll send you coppies."
"30 Minutes."
"1 hour, no less. I
would like to shower and settle down to do this properly Harry."
"Fine, 1 hour, no later."
"Geez, what crawled up your ass and got lost?"
"I'll ignore that."
"Okay, okay, you're tired and cranky and somebody *yawn* got your brain thinking. I'll have it to you in an hour."
"Thank you."
The line went dead and Collin sighed. It was good to be needed, even if it meant his growling stomack would have to wait.
~!*!~
She grabbed herself a bottle of cherry coke, and downed half of it as she took the invisibility spell off the rack of silver vials stuck in the back of the refridgerator. A quick count told her that she had a little under a months worth. And that was with only one a day.
"I hope he's got more than this at his place." she said to herself, packing them into the small cooler she's brought out of storage.
She had enough ice to keep them cold for 5 hours, but after that, she'd need to make more. She grabbed a large black dufflebag and packed it with five different outfits, makeup, and other bathroom accessories, as he called them. Once she shoved her extra wallet into it, she dashed to the closet and pulled out a large suit bag. She hated its contents with a passion, or at least one of the five things in it anyway, but had a feeling any and all of them may be needed. She zipped the duffle and grabed her laptop case. She threw all her disks, papers in with it, and grabbed a few pens and a pad of paper, then a handful of Wizard parchment, a bottle of ink, and a quill. She had a feeling she'd need them too.
"Okay, lets get out of here."
She left calmly, locking the door both manually and magically behind her. Her car, a 2003 black Camaro (with an incredible stero, digital websystem and two huge things of NOS with it's own controls in the dash(with locksafe key)) was easy enough to load, and she typd a frew commands on the flatscreen on the dash. A phones ring sounded as she turned the music off and pulled out.
"Phoenix Foundation, Pete Thorton [1] speaking."
"I need to speak with Padma Patil. Number: 6-2-5/3-3/3-6/3-9/3, Code: Dragon Keeper."
She hit a few keys on the pad in the door and saw numbers and verification fly over the monitor.
"Key?" the man asked.
She pressed a diamond on the side of her silver and hematite ring, a small key like object popping up. She put it in the glowing slot on the door and something clicked.
"Authorization complete. I'll put you right through Ms. Parkinson."
"Thank you, Pete."
A few seconds later a woman's face appeared on the monitor and she smiled tiredly.
"It's been quite some time since you've used your car system, Pansy."
"Yeah, well I've got a bit of a problem with Ryu."
"What kind of problems?"
"His father."
"We already know about his movements in the London Underground, and of the arms he's bought."
"He's recruited Muggles and rogue Vampires."
"How do you know this?"
"One word: Ryu."
"How does he know? He's supposed to have cut his ties with the Wizarding world a long time ago. The Phoenix is the only exception."
"You forget about the other half of him."
"Veela. Shit! How close is he to them?"
"Ohly to 'Cissa. She keeps him informed."
"Harry and Ron met her a few weeks back. Goes by Venus Prolwer now, right?"
"Right. The Veela are extremely loyal to Ryu."
"He's got the power to destroy them, so I don't see why they
wouldn't be."
"'Cissa's Royalty."
"Whoa, wait a second. Veela don't have a Monarchy."
"No, but their Pure Blood line is considered a Royal Veela. They look at Ryu as a Prince, and crossing a Pure Blood would be like trying to assassinate the Queen Mother or the US President."
"Fuck. Where is he? If his father is after him…"
"Manhyattan safe house. His reform potions gone, and I'm down to a one-a-day with the vials."
"What's he got left?"
"I'm on my way to his apartment now. I sent him to the safe house around six."
"Get his stuff and get to the safe House. I'll get in touch with Ron. As good as you are, I think Ryu's gonna need someone a little stronger."
"You're not suggesting that Harry take over, are you?"
"I don't know Pansy, I've got to talk to Ron. Harry doesn't even know Ryu's, well, you know."
"Wonderfuckinful! I'll call again after I get to the safe house."
"I'll be here."
The line disconnected and Pansy hit the gas. This was not getting any better. In fact, it was getting worse.
"Not only is Ryu being hunted, but the Phoenix's best operative, shit, doesn't even know who he really is. Ryu's gonna kill me if Ron says he's gotta stay with Harry. FUCK!"
She quickly pulled into her usual spot outside Ryu's apartment and walked casually to the door. She let herself in, and ran back out a second later. Two women dressind all in black caught her just before she got to the car, and she refused to give hem the pleasure of hearing her scream.
"Where is he?" one asked, fangs dripping with saliva.
"I don't know." replied Pansy, pressing a small button on her watchband. "I'm just here to pick up his laundry."
"Bull!" the other spat, gripping her neck tightly. "Where is he?!"
"I told you, I don't kow! He's away on business, or at least that's what he told me."
The first Vampchic wrenched her jacket sleeve upand hissed at the pale blue phoenix tatoo there.
"Phoenix!" the other growled.
"Yeah, Phoenix!"
Pansy ducked as her watch threw out a blinding white light, and grabbed her wand from her boot. When the Vampchics could see again, she was standing atop her car, smirking and waving her wand in a scolding motion.
"It's not nice to pick on unarmed Witches, especially in their own territory. I think you two need a little time out."
Before they could scream, two silver stakes impaled their chest. Pansy chuckled as they disintegrated, their Clan rings the only thing remaining. She picked them up and walked into the apartment. She got the things she needed and was on her way.
"Stupid Bitches," she snorted, turning the music up, "mess with fire, and you're gonna get burned, or didn't you know?"
~TBC~
So Pansy's on the good guy's team… Very interesting…
Muse: And she kicks Vampchic ASS too!
Yeah, that was cool!
Muse: But I don't think she likes the idea of losing Ryu to Harry.
Would you? Ryu's gorgeous (even tho' I haven't really described him yet, but you'll see him later), and so is Harry. They won't be able to keep their hands off eachother.
Muse: Anybody know who Ryu is? This chapter pretty much gave it away.
Leave them alone, Muse.
Muse: I was just making conversation.
They don't wanna talk to you, they wanna leave a review. Right?
