Chapter Six - Something complex this way comes

How can the council be so stupid? Have they learnt nothing from their centuries? I find it hard to believe I was so scared of them rejecting my petition those days ago, afterall, if they have backstabbers in the court they are not even aware of, how hard could they be for me to twist round my finger?

The night's entertainment's have annoyed me more than I thought. It has been a long while since I have felt such hot emotion coursing through me, and I must admit I find it slightly disconcerting.

Closing my eyes, I barricade myself back in, only realising now how open I had made myself. Dangerous, me letting go like that.

Satisfied I am sensitively dulled, I open my eyes again, to find a pair of emerald green eyes gazing back at me.

"What are you doing here?!"

The eyes drew back, and I managed to focus on the figure as they moved away to pace soundlessly on the carpet next to me.

"You didn't seriously expect me to stay out of your games, did you?"

"You know as well as I that they aren't games."

Sighing, the green eyed beauty tossed her long black hair over her shoulder, before turning back to face me.

"I know. I also know you wallow in that fact. You never…live for yourself anymore. It's always the job with you, but you don't have anything to prove, why can't you just…"

"I just can't!"

Oh dear, slipping. Anger exited my frame, as quickly as it had entered, and instead a bone-deep weariness took its place.

"You used to."

Her voice was quiet now, not out of respect, but out of remembrance.

"I know. That is why I am here now, remember? Correcting wrongs made so long ago…"

A gentle hand soothed me, and she gently tipped my head up to face her.

"That's why I have come. I am going to help you with your task, and in return get my brother back."

Tender moment catching up with her, I blinked and she was on the other side of the room, reclining in my desk chair.

"Besides," She lazily adds, delicately flipping through my papers, "Why should you get to have all the fun?"

A flash of fang as she smiles at me, catlike. So young, yet so old at the same time. So like me. Yet not.

"Does father know you are here?"

An ironic glance in my direction, and she doesn't even bother pffting the stupidity of the question.

"Fine, does he approve? Or are you defying him, just like always."

"No, for once he actually agreed with me on something. Either that or I was finally driving him up the wall."

Suddenly serious, she stands up and moves to my side.

"He senses the ache in you. He told me to tell you 'patience', 'the time will be soon, very soon'. You need feel no distress, you are perfectly capable of keeping me in control, but I feel the need to sample some of the resident naughty vamps."

A brush of her hand across my face, and she moves to the window, ignoring the turmoil she no doubt is aware of causing. Grateful for once for the reprieve she has granted me, whether unknowing or not I don't know, I gulp in a breath and walk over to the desk myself.

"Michael, is it?" I nod, and she continues, "In that case, I think I shall be Jenny. That sounds innocuous enough doesn't it? I won't help you on the hunter's front, I prefer to deal with action, not paperwork."

As my beautiful sister turns and slides the window up, her leather coat rustling around her slender form, I succeed in knocking my thinking back on track.

"There was a development tonight. It appears the council has some betrayers. They stupidly decided to use a coin as a way of passing their protection around, and the ferrets amongst them handed them out to bad vamps as well as good."

"What?! Did you manage to get your hands on the mother fuckers responsible?" Her outrage was matched by the flashing fangs visible when she whirled back to face me, eyes bleeding blue as power leaked from her.

Definitely a good idea for her to tackle the vamps head on, she would never be able to stand the intrigues in human life.

Power crackled the air between us, and the lightbulbs flickered as she hindered their ripples unknowingly. Yet another reason why she wasn't normally allowed free reign in the human world. She had a nasty habit of accidentally leeching the life from things when she got angry.

"I managed to gather a general idea of who is behind it, but I don't yet know how deep the rot goes. I did manage to snag a bunch of the 'safe passes' myself though. Here."

Catching the tossed coin with ease, her long delicate fingers flipped the gold circle around with lightening movements, and I looked her in the eye.

"When did you pass the test?"

Cocking her head, that small smile I had grown to hate quickly appeared, then disappeared as she shook her head. Her eyes were green again as they went wistful in memory.

"I can't remember, approximately two millenia after you left. Shame you had to miss it, you would have enjoyed the ruckus."

Focusing my gaze on the rug beneath my feet I heard the swish of material, and knew it was the curtain swaying in the breeze. She was already gone. Hunting down the bad guys, and no doubt taking her emotions out on them.

Ignoring the tugging in my chest which had become painfully familiar to me recently, I turned to the paperwork on my desk. It had to be done sometime, might as well be now.

Despite her impulsiveness, and reckless regard for her own safety, my sister did have one thing right. Paperwork sucked major ass.

Short. I just saw 'The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen', and this new character is based on my take of the Mina character, if she had an older brother.

Things are beginning to fall into some semblance of a plot now, and I have to admit that chapter was fun to write. A lot more to come, so keep your eyes open.

R+R please?
