Chapter 14

"TRISTIAN! TRISTIAN!" somebody yelled and banged on the door at the same time. He was up in an instant recognizing Ash's voice. Hurrying to the door, he flung it open and came face to face with not only Ash, but also Hannah.

"Come Quickly. Thierry needs you," Hannah gasped out. She looked pale and scared. "Hurry up. He's in his office," Ash said practically pulling him out of the room. "Come on Hannah, we gotta hide you."

"What the hell is going on?" he asked but received no answer. From the looks of it people were running in and out of the rooms. "Hey, what is going on?" he asked Quinn who was running in the opposite direction.

"Some sort of Elders are coming. We've got to make it look normal, so you better wake Charli up and tell her to get dressed. Tell her to go my room. That's where most of the girls are right now. Then hurry downstairs. Thierry needs to talk to you!"

"Charli," he whispered in her ear. She stirred. "Charli," he said a little louder. Getting frustrated he picked her up and slung her over his shoulder. (Wha..t) she yawned. (We've got visitors; just do whatever Rashel tells you ok) She nodded.

Once they reached Rashel's and Quinn's room, Tristian threw open the door and was greeted by Thea.

"Oh thank goodness, now everyone's here. Come on Charli lets get you briefed on what's going on, and Tristian, do be careful."

Once he deposited Charli to Thea, he did an about face and quickly ran downstairs. "Thierry what the hell is going on?" he asked as soon as he entered the office. "I'm what's going on," Johan answered laughing. "Well aren't you going to say hello? After you left the warehouse that day I thought I'd never see you again."

Tristian stared at the figure sitting in front of him. His jaw was twitching furiously. Thierry sat in his usual seat looking pissed, but otherwise calm. Johan like always carried his usual smug look.

"You're just in time Tristian. Me and Thierry here were just discussing the old times. You remember them don't you? Well I do, quite vividly actually. Have a seat and reminisce shall we?"

Before he knew it, Tristian was already on top of him, punching his jaw. Johan tried desperately to get away, but he knew he had no chance. Tristian had always been stronger than him. The pounding in his face stopped suddenly, and he looked up. Both his eyes were stinging, but as a vampire he could already feel them healing.

Thierry from the looks of it had pulled Tristian off and was now observing Johan under hateful eyes.

"Look, all I wanted to ask was if me and my men could stay a night. We don't have anywhere to go. I didn't come to kill you Tristian; that opportunity has passed, so I'm moving on. I'd appreciate it if you'd do the same." Johan coughed out as he tried to stand.

"We don't have room for you." Thierry stated flatly. "Now we'd appreciate it if you'd leave."

"Such courtesy you show. You know, I can't and don't see why Maya ever favored you. I was the better one. I never went around looking for a vermin, unlike you. How is your little Hannah anyway?"

"You know before Maya was killed, she came to see me. She told me to finish her off if she failed to, and that my friend is what I intend to do. So you better have another place in mind to hide her, because I can feel her in this house. I wouldn't be surprised if she was listening."

"And you Tristian, I haven't forgotten how your beautiful sister tasted like, and how she pleaded for her life. Too bad she turned me down. I wasn't even hungry, but she was too pretty to just let go. Hmmm you don't know how much I enjoyed myself with that kill," he grinned at them.

"Well my visit was somewhat enjoyable..somewhat not. But that's okay. Soon and I promise you soon, both of you are going to be extremely sorry. I know all your secrets and I know how to use them."

With an angry growl Tristian once again lunged at him. Both of them rolled down the hall.

Johan was struggling with his breathing. Tristian's aim was good and he did not miss at all while pounding his fists into Johan.

"GET THE GIRL!" Johan managed to shriek out to nobody in particular, but Tristian was fooled. For a second his guard was down and he looked up. Johan couldn't be talking about Charli, how could he know?

Johan seized his only opportunity for escape and with all his remaining strength threw a punch at Tristian sending him across the hall. Without missing a beat, Johan turned and ran out the door, pausing only once he had reached the gates where his men were waiting.

He smirked at Tristian through his blood stained face. (You're soulmates done for Tristian, just as you are when I'm through. Lets just say, we'll be meeting again, and soon I hope.) With that Johan and his men were off. Tristian's temper rose dramatically. "I thought you said he wouldn't come here!" he hissed.

"I said he wouldn't be stupid enough to come here," Thierry answered back.

uCharli/u

Tristian ran upstairs and flung the door open. "Charli?" Charli glanced up from where she had been hiding and ran towards him. (Tristian) she called out softly to him. He embraced her tightly savoring her presence. (Tristian, you're eye) her fingers gently probed his bruising eye.

(Its fine, are you ok?) (Yea, I'm still sleepy) (Then lets get back to bed okay)

*******

"What the he** is going on?" Tristian asked furiously the next morning. All the fighting crew of Daybreak was sitting in Thierry's office discussing the nights events.

"It seems that Johan appears to think its safe for him to parade in town. The council is has pulled back on its decision to kill him, and instead is going to use him for the Millennium battle." Thierry answered.

"Well great, we have a deranged childhood friend of Thierry and Tristian who obviously wants them to come out and play. How much more fun can this get?" Rashel snorted sarcastically.

********

Hee hee, hows that for a fight scene. Well this one took a while and it was only cuz I was on vacation. Hopefully I'll get to write the rest of this soon.
