Nemesis had refused to go feed with Gangrel and Christian and avoided
answering Gangrel's concerned inquiries into what was bothering her.
Reluctantly Gangrel had allowed her to remain behind hoping that she would
be more willing to open up to him after Nemesis had had some time alone.
Nemesis knew that she wasn't supposed to wonder off alone but needing to clear her head she got dressed and slipping on the duster that Edge and Christian had given her walked out the front door.
Nemesis headed out across the field towards the woods wanting only to feel the light breeze in her hair and take comfort in the surrounding darkness. As she walked she looked up at the diamond-covered sky and wished that she could just go home to her mother and ask her mom about what she should do about Edge.
Nemesis was so lost in her thoughts that she didn't feel the presence of another vampire until it was too late. "You shouldn't be out by yourself. You never know who you'll run into."
Nemesis spun around and was seized by a feeling of dread when she saw Malice standing by a nearby tree. "What are you doing here?" she demanded crossing her arms trying not to appear intimidated.
"You know," the other vampire began, "I don't like how you've blown me off. Really, you need to be taught some respect."
Nemesis' eyes widened in anger and she glared at the blonde, "You need to learn when to take 'no' for an answer. Now," she paused a moment, "If you'll excuse me, I've got to go and you'd better get out of here before my family shows up and kicks your ass."
Malice laughed, "Nice try, little girl, but you're not going to get away this time."
Nemesis began to panic as Malice began to stalk towards her. She snarled her fangs elongating and knowing that he had too many years on her to beat him in a fight chose the only option she could . . . she ran like hell.
Nemesis could hear Malice's footsteps behind her and desperation gave speed to her feet. Nemesis was only yards from the edge of the woods when a foot appeared out of nowhere sending her tumbling head over heels to the ground. Slightly stunned Nemesis shook her head to clear it and looked up to see Entropy smiling smugly down at her. "It's not nice to be a tease, childe."
"Why won't you people just leave me the hell alone!?" Nemesis shouted in frustration.
"My childe gets what he wants," Entropy replied as Malice approached, "And it happens that he wants you."
"You're pretty fast for a fledgeling," Malice said with a grin, "I'll just have to make sure that you don't get the chance to run again."
Nemesis dropped into a crouch as Malice and Entropy began to circle her. "Make this easy, girl," Malice hissed, "Come quietly and we won't have to hurt you as badly."
"Go fuck yourself," Nemesis snarled back, "You want me you're going to have to come get me." Nemesis shrugged out of her duster throwing it to the ground to allow her freer movement.
"Suit yourself," Entropy shrugged as she and her childe moved in. Malice attacked first lunging at Nemesis who allowed him to knock her to the ground and rolled with it sending him flying off of her into a tree.
Entropy narrowed her eyes, "You won't find me that easy." Entropy paused tilting her head to the side, "You know you can't win, why do you continue to fight?"
Nemesis raised her chin, "If I'm going down, I'm going to go down fighting, my brood taught me that much."
Entropy snarled, "It will do you no good." Entropy attacked aiming a kick at Nemesis' head. The fledgling managed to duck and jumped into the air as the elder vampire tried to sweep Nemesis' feet out from under her.
Nemesis landed on her feet but was unable to dodge the next attack. Entropy backhanded the younger vampire viciously and Nemesis staggered but forced herself to retaliate kicking Entropy in the stomach. When the evil vampire doubled over Nemesis took the opportunity to kick her savagely in the head.
Knowing that this might be her only chance Nemesis turned to run while the other vampire was stunned and came face to face with Malice. He punched her in the face and Nemesis felt the ground underneath and then there was oblivion.
Malice smiled down at her prone form. "You just don't know when to quit," he told said bending down to sling her limp body over his shoulder.
Entropy scanned the woods around them, "Let's go," she told him, "We don't want to be around when her family realizes she's missing."
Malice nodded and followed his sire from the woods. Hopefully they'd be long gone before Gangrel and Nemesis' two older brothers realized that she was gone.
