Part 3 is up and running amuck. See part 1 for the disclaimer and what not.
Alyxandra paced. She was waiting for her lover and sire. Her clothes were soot stained and her hair burnt. She finally sat down on the bed, eyeing the curtains distastefully. They were a bright orange flowered pattern, and needed to be covered before dawn. She pulled several black sheets from her one bag and stood, draping them over the entire window and then duct taping them to the walls for added protection. She sat back down and yawned, then stood, as she heard Chris voice getting closer. He opened the door and stepped in. He looked at her, shock written all over his face.
"What happened?" He asked softly, closing the door behind him.
"Where were you?" She retorted, angrily, brushing aside his question. "Vince ordered that all Kindred that travel with us attend the gathering. You did not attend. The assamites attacked."
"Assamites?" Chris asked, laying a hand on her sleeve. "but this has nothing to do with them."
"So you admit it?" Alyxandra spat at him, slapping his hand from her arm. "You would betray your own clan?" She took a moment to try and calm down. "You would betray me?"
"This is above clans." Chris said, his eyes shining in a way that they had not since he had stopped playing guitar. "This is above you." Alyxandra slapped him, and stepped around him. He grabbed her arm and she unsheathed her dagger.
"Do not touch me." She said softly, blood tears falling from her eyes like rain. "You have turned from our clan, you have turned from our prince and you have turned from the camarilla." Alyxandra shrugged his hand off her arm and walked out the door. Stephanie was only two doors down.
Chris sat on the bed, his eyes on the door, completely confused. What was Alyxandra talking about? He hadn't betrayed anyone, least of all her. He picked up the phone and dialed Vinces room. "Vince?" He asked, "What's going on?"
Clan Brujah- or most of it was sitting in Kiras room, faces solumn. They were studiously looking everywhere but at each other. Kira lay on the bed, healing her wounds slowly. Edge was curled around her, her hand in his.
"Well." Shawn Michaels said softly, taking a moment to stare straight into the eyes of each clan member. "We have a name. Now however we have questions. Vince has entrusted this to us, no one else. Those clan members who are not here are not to be trusted or told." He stood and paced. "You answer only to myself, and I answer only to the prince." He sat on the bed, and patted Kira's hand. She was his only childer, and had risked the final death for a name. "Well, ideas people?" He said.
"We go to him." Kira said, her eyes unnaturally bright. "Don't let him know we know. But hint at things we might want or need for favors."
"Who?" Edge asked, "Not the clan as a whole."
"Well certainly not me." Kira said. "Hes knows I hate him."
"I can go." Jeff and Lita said as one, then blushed.
"Isn't his birthday coming up?" Raven asked softly from where he stood at the door. Jeff nodded. "We can use that then."
"Yeah, the mans a toreador," Edge said. "He'll be having a party or a show of some kind."
"Good." Shawn said softly, his eyes dark. "Get your asses in gear and get back to your own rooms, we all have wounds to heal. We are checking out at 1 pm. Make sure you are all able to do so." The brujah clan stood almost as one and left with waves at Kira and Edge. Shawn remained behind. "Kira, you be careful." He said softly. "Everyone knows you saw the name before the note caught on fire." He sighed and ran a hand through his hair. "Now this is how this works. I need for you two to break up."
"I'm sorry." Edge said softly, "But the horribleness of earlier must have melted my brain. Did you tell us we have to break up?" Shawn nodded. "Why?"
"Because we are setting a trap." Shawn replied. "And I don't want to loose either of you, but if I must, then one clan member is an allowable loss." He looked at Kira. "You know the name, and people know how you act when your upset."
"So I'm bait?" Kira asked softly, playing with one strand of Edge hair. Shawn nodded. "Ok." She said. "You get out, we have to make this look convincing." Shawn nodded and left.
"I can't belive your letting him do this." Edge hissed. "Don't you love me?"
"Not anymore." Kira shot back. "And you obvisouly don't love me." She shoved him off the bed. "You bitched me out for getting that name when you should be kissing my ass for risking every thing to find it." Edges temper exploded.
"You stupid little neonate!" He shouted at her. "I can't believe your breaking up with me over something so stupid."
"You ass!" She screamed back, getting really upset now. "I'm a year older than you!" She climbed off the bed and tossed his things out the door. "Now get the hell out, because I don't want anything to do with you!" Edge left, glairing at her the whole way. She slammed the door behind him and retreated to the bed. Moments passed and there was a tapping at the door. She opened it to Find Christain and his lover Josh standing at the door.
"You ok?" Christian asked. "Edge is locked in my bathroom." Josh snickered and then looked contrite.
"It was loud." Josh said, holding Christians hand tightly.
"You guys can come in." Kira said. Josh led the way in, one hand behind his back, the other wrapped in Christians hand. They sat on the chairs, while Kira resumed her position on the bed. Josh smiled and then handed her a battered and beaten stuffed animal. It was a pig, and had bloodstains on it.
"This is Oliver." Josh explained. "Its for when I'm sad." Christian grinned-it was the disturbing DDP smile
"He usually takes it hunting." The toreador explained. Kira nodded, this explained the bloodstains.
"And now your sad." Josh smiled. "So you can use him."
"Thanks Josh." Kira said softly, oddly touched.
"You can give him back when you aren't sad." Josh went on, drumming his feet on the floor. "But we can go now. You need to heal. Not to be infected." He hauled Christian to his feet and they headed for the door. Christain smiled at her.
"If you need us." He started, "Just call or thump." He was dragged out side. Kira sighed. Those two were the cutest couple. Although if her pain was obvious for the malkavian to pick up then maybe everything she'd said was true.
End this part- everyone else will be written in during the next few chapters. Keep the mary sues coming though. And yes- Edgesgothdiva-I will bring Gangrel in just for you.
