Wine and Roses
By V.Valentine
A/N: My thanks go out to everyone about the positive reviews I've been getting. I've already thought of a way to wrap this story up, but that won't be for many chapters yet to come. And Hojo will be a part of the ending. And maybe a few of the other FF7 characters too. ^_^ You all know the usual stuff. Get to reading!
Several months have passed by since Vincent returned to the Xavier Institute. With Professor Xavier's generous help, Vincent had become a full time student at the academy, and received a whole new wardrobe of clothes, though they mostly remained red and black due to Vincent's personal tastes. He also was given several training uniforms that would stretch with him, as he might need to change to Chaos and not have his clothes be destroyed again.
Vincent quickly became friends with most of the other students at the academy, save for a few. Vincent didn't consider himself a troublemaker, but trouble seemed to find him, and Logan and Scott did not approve of him. All of the girls did though, and with the Halloween school dance coming up, a day didn't go by where he didn't receive an offer to join someone at the dance. Luckily, the Danger Room was a place of solace for him, and when he wasn't at school, he was in the Danger Room, running through one program after another.
Finishing up with the latest program, Vincent walked out of the Danger Room, looking back to images of three Sentinels falling to pieces before fading away from existence. Smirking to himself, he grabs a towel, and proceeded to head back to his room. "Better luck next time, guys." He says to the Sentinels before leaving the Danger Room hallway completely. Walking up to the second floor, his eyes widened slightly as he saw Emma Frost standing at his doorway, her arms crossed over her chest. She looked over to him, her china blue eyes looking to him.
"I imagine you going to the dance, tonight?" She questioned as he nodded slightly to her. "Kitty talked me into going. And she was kind enough to provide me with a costume. I'm going as Neo from The Matrix." Vincent said, as a small smirk appeared on Emma's lips. "Oh, won't that be enchanting? Hordes of girls clawing at you all night to try and get you back to their room by the end of the night. They're quite taken with you, you know." She stated simply, as he nodded again.
"I know they are. It's like I can almost smell the pheromones coming off of them. I imagine Chaos isn't pleased." Vincent stated as he continued on after that. "I like them all as friends, but I don't think it's wise for me to go any further than that with them." Vincent finished, as the smirk grew on Emma's lips. She slyly walked over to him, and gently ran her finger along the jaw line of Vincent's chin. "So you're saying that you're free tonight? Good, You're going to take me out." Emma stated as if it were fact, as Vincent just looked to her. "What about the dance?" Vincent asked as Emma smiled and leaned closer to him, her cool breath practically brushing up against his sweating skin. "You and I both know you don't want to go. And I advise you not to disappoint me." She spoke, as venom could be dripping off the last part of that statement.
Vincent could only nod at this, and could feel that it was getting hotter in the room than he tended to like it. "Meet you downstairs at eight?" Vincent asked as Emma nodded and walked away from him, a little extra sway of her hip in her step. Shaking his head lightly, Vincent walked into his room as he shut the door behind him, and passed by his dresser mirror. As he walked by, a transparent image of Chaos appeared on the mirror. "You're actually going out with her?" Chaos questioned incredulously, as Vincent looked to him and in reality, himself. "Why not? She's attractive and I'd probably have a better time with her, than any of the other girls here. All that squealing was starting to get to me. And since we're on the subject, why do you care?" Vincent asked, as Chaos growled softly. "She makes even my blood run cold. There's something about her that I don't like." Chaos stated as Vincent nodded.
"Duly noted. You don't like her, and that's fine. But you're not the one going out with her, I am. Deal with it." Vincent finished simply in a tone that meant he would brook no argument. Chaos shook his head and sighed, then disappeared from the mirror. Vincent also breathed in a sigh of relief as he moved to strip out of remaining clothes and head into his bathroom to get washed off from the training exercise. Something old him that this was going to be no ordinary night.
Hours passed, and Vincent emerged from his room and headed downstairs into the lobby. Clad in a black suit, with a stark bold red tie in the center, his hair was slicked back, save for the bangs that always seemed to stick out no matter what he did with them. He lightly carried Death Penalty over his shoulder with one hand, as he moved into the foyer. He looked up to see Emma at the top of the stairs, smiling down to him, as Vincent felt his jaw drop slightly. She was clad in a simple white spaghetti strip dress, with ample cleavage showing from it, and a white wrap along her arms. Her corn silk blonde hair was moved over in to a stylish sweep, as the rest moved into a French braid down her back. She took her time coming down the stairs and to him, as she lightly took her hand and let Vincent's jaw come back up. "You're letting flies in. Shall we go?" Emma asked with a soft yet seductive tone.
Vincent could only look at her and nod. "You look fantastic, Emma. Of course you would probably say you always do." He says with a slight smile, as Emma gave him one in return, and walked out the door with him. Vincent walked with her over to the garage, and opened the door, looking over the wide array of vehicles to choose from. "I think we should take Logan's motorcycle." Vincent said with a small smile as Emma looked at him as if he was crazy. "That's Logan's motorcycle. He cherishes it more than life itself. You're going to hear about it tomorrow morning." Emma stated as Vincent nodded, looking over the bike, and then getting on. He gently slid Death Penalty into a convenient holder, as he looked over to her. "Yes, I have no doubt that I will hear about it tomorrow. And to ride such a fine piece machinery such as this one is worth any price. Coming?" He questioned with a smirk, as Emma nodded with a grin and jumped on behind him. Starting it up, Vincent sped out of the garage and down the long driveway from the institute. As they rode through town, they both looked to the school on their right. Emma looked to him, lightly running her hands along his chest. "Are you sure you don't want to make an appearance?" She questioned as Vincent looked back to her.
"Not entirely. Besides, I'm already spoken for at the moment." Vincent responded as Emma smiled and looked through the gymnasium's window. There she could clearly see a group of the X-Girl's waiting by the door for Vincent to come through. Using her powers, Emma gently opened up a mind link with all of them. ~I'm sorry to bother you all, but I felt it necessary to inform you that Vincent will be occupied for the night with me. But don't worry, I'll be sure to have him back early............tomorrow morning~ Emma psionicly said with a smile, as the green light turned on, and Vincent continued into town. It wasn't a long drive into the city, especially at the speeds Vincent was going, but Emma thought it was surely taking long enough. And as they were pulling into Manhattan, Vincent looked back to her. "So where exactly are we going?" Vincent asked As Emma leaned in closer to him. "A new club opened up near Central Park. It's called the Hellfire Club. Sounds rather prestigious." She explained as Vincent nodded, admitting that she had a point.
As the two of them pulled up to the valet, the pair got off as Vincent removed Death Penalty from the holster. He tossed the keys to the Valet as the valet got on, and proceeded to drive off with the bike. Emma moved over to him and lightly slipped her arm into his as the two of them walked into the door. As they approached, the doorman looked to her. "Miss Frost, it's a pleasure to see you again. Please, come in." The doorman said as Emma nodded regally. "Thank you, Henry." Emma said almost in a higher than thou attitude, as Vincent looked to her. "You two know each other?" Vincent asked as Emma looked to him. "You'll have to understand something, Vincent. My parents have been friends with the owners of the club since as far as I can remember. My family commands a great deal of respect here with them." Emma explained as they passed the check-in station. The concierge looked to Vincent, and cleared his voice. "Excuse me sir, but you can't bring that rifle in here. You'll have to leave it here." The Concierge said as Vincent looked to Emma, then walked over to him.
Vincent looked at him for a moment, and then lightly handed over Death Penalty to him. But Vincent stared deeply into the man's eyes, as he narrowed his own slightly. "That is very precious to me. Touch it in a way I don't approve of, I make your life a living hell by the end of the night." Vincent said darkly, as the attendant nodded and went off into the back with it. Emma smiled and gently took his arm and led him into the main room. "Come on, Vincent. You can stand to be separated from your gun for just a little while." Emma gently chided as he nodded slightly and walked with her into the main room. The décor was straight out of the Victorian age, several men and women dressed in old Elizabethan style clothing, powdered wigs and all. Vincent looked to Emma, an eyebrow gently raised. "This is the common fashion here?" He asked as she looked back to him. "For some of the traditionalists, yes. But I don't approve of it. Give me white leather and a whip any day." She gently purred into Vincent's ear as he looked to her. She gently kissed his cheek and walked with him out into the dance floor. The two of them quickly joined in with a fast waltz as they moved with the rest of the people on the dance floor. And as they danced hand in hand, a man in the common Victorian dress around the room, looked on to Emma from above. He quickly shifted his black ponytail, as he looked to a blonde haired man in the same dress as him. "Pierce, our White Queen has arrived. Get the master bedroom ready." The black haired man said, Pierce nodding. "As you wish, Sebastian." Pierce said, as he quickly walked off.
As the waltz ended, Emma and Vincent joined the others in clapping for the end of the song, and the orchestra's performance. The rest of the people moved off the dance floor, as Vincent looked to Emma. "It seems we have the floor. Care to try something a little more.........robust?" Vincent asked as Emma nodded and smiled, as Vincent moved over to the orchestra. After speaking with the conductor for a slight amount of time, Vincent moved back over to Emma. And as they assumed a ready position on the floor, the Orchestra began to play a lively Spanish mariachi tune. The two of them quickly embraced, and began to move with the music, as if it was just them on the floor, and the rest of the world didn't exist. The rest of the crowd could only watch with awe as they danced, the two of them seeming to fit together like a hand to a glove. And as the orchestra stopped with a strong finish, Vincent found himself holding Emma close, her right leg in his right arm and her hands along the sides of his face. Everyone in the audience stood and clapped, as both Vincent and Emma looked to themselves and then the audience, and composed themselves, with a slight blush in their cheeks.
And as they bowed, a man's clapping could be heard over all of them. "Bravo! That was truly a performance worthy of the Hellfire Club, and from our White Queen!" Sebastian Shaw stated from the top of the stairwell, as Vincent looked to Emma with a raised eyebrow. She looked back to him, and could only lower her eyes. Vincent turned back to Sebastian at the top of the stairs. He was beginning to wonder what kind of club this actually was. "Now, as you all know, this is truly a special night. Tonight is the night our White Queen fills her spot in our coveted inner circle! Guards, escort Miss Frost to my chambers." Sebastian continued on then finished, as Vincent could see guards approaching the two of them, and as he looked to the audience, to see everyone still cheering them on. He immediately looked back to Emma. "What's going on, Emma?" He asked as Emma looked to him. "Please don't ask, Vincent. I'll be back down soon." Emma simply stated, as she willingly went with the guards. And as they escorted her up to Sebastian, one of the other guards walked up to Vincent. "Don't feel bad, mate. It's nothing you did, they're just going to have some fun with her." The guard said as Vincent looked to him, his eyes narrowing, not liking where this was headed.
"What do you mean?" Vincent asked as he could see the guard smile. "It's the right of entering the Inner Circle. The gents get to have first stabs at the females, if you know what I mean. After all, what kind of club do you think this is?" The guard said with a friendly nudge to the Vincent's ribs, as a dawning realization appeared on Vincent's face. "Oh no! Emma!" He called out to her, but saw that she had already been taken upstairs. "There's nothing you can do. It's their right." The guard said, as Vincent looked to him. "Not if I have anything to say about it." Vincent said darkly as he grabbed the guard, and moved to toss him out the nearest window, hearing the guard scream all the way down. Vincent moved as fast as he could back to the check in stand, pushed himself past the guard, and grabbed Death Penalty from the closet. And as he leapt back into the room from the check in stand, he saw three guards running towards him. Vincent quickly spun his gun around a few times, and then holstered it, as he was encased in a green light. There was a bright flash, as the guards coming towards him were encased in solid Ice. Vincent ran past them as he dashed up the stairs heading for the master bedroom. He found it at the end of the hall, and quickly tried to get in, but found the door locked. Vincent moved to unholster Death Penalty quickly, and blow the lock, but quickly saw that it was laced with steel on the inside.
And as the shot rang out, Sebastian, Pierce, and another man with fiery orange hair looked back to the door. The orange haired man looked back to Sebastian. "Are you sure no one can get in, Shaw?" The man said as Sebastian looked to him. "Calm yourself, Leland. It will affect your performance." Sebastian said with a cruel smirk as Leland gave him the same grin. The three of them turned back to Emma, who was now strapped down to the bed. She struggled against the ties, as she looked to the three of them. "Don't worry, my dear. It won't hurt at all. I give you my word that you'll love every inch of this." Sebastian said with a cruel laugh, just loud enough for Vincent to hear outside. Vincent growled, and tried to pry the lock off himself, as he started to feel despair and fury rage over his body, as a crimson glow filled his eyes and his hands grabbed onto the door. And inside the bedroom, the three men approached the bed, some of them removing various pieces of clothing, and mainly their belts, until a bestial roar could be heard outside. And the next moment, all of them turned back to see the door being ripped off the hinges, and tossed back into the hallway. And there stood Chaos, breathing hard and his fangs and clawed bared, a red aura surrounding his body.
"I think you all are about to rape Valentine's woman. I simply can't allow that." Chaos said, as he closed his eyes. "They are all yours, Valentine." Chaos said simply, and looked back to Sebastian, Pierce and Leland before starting to fade away. "I would start praying to whatever deity you worship that he has mercy on you all." Chaos said with a loud laugh, before fading back to Vincent, his clothes torn slightly and Death Penalty in his hands. With a loud yell, Vincent leapt into the air, spun around slightly, and took aim with Death Penalty towards Pierce. A loud boom shook the room, causing china to fall off the drawer and break, as Vincent unloaded a shot at Pierce, seeing it tear into his right arm, almost ripping it off. As Pierce screamed and fell back clutching his arm as it bled, Leland came up from behind him and got him in a vicious bear hug. "You don't know who you're dealing with, boy." Leland growled as Vincent moved his head back to knock into Leland's for a ferocious head butt. And as Leland dropped him, Vincent dropped to the ground, sweeping Leland's legs out from under him. Vincent stood up quickly leveled Death Penalty to Leland's forehead. "The same goes for you too, sir." Vincent said darkly, before firing a shot right into Leland's skull.
Vincent turned around to see Shaw almost waiting for him to finish, as he spoke. "I can see why Emma came with you. It's unfortunate that you won't be able defeat me as easily. Come test your fate." Sebastian beckoned to him as Vincent growled again, leaping into the air and landing an earth- shattering kick to the side of Shaw's head. Once he landed, Vincent quickly drove the butt end of Death Penalty into Shaw's chest, and as Shaw doubled over, Vincent drove his rifle down to the back of Shaw's skull. But Vincent looked in horror as Shaw got back up and smiled to him. "I absorb physical and kinetic energy and send it right back. Have some of that kick you gave me!" He yelled as Shaw landed a right cross across Vincent's chin, then spun around gave Vincent a back hand strike, knocking him into the wall. Shaw gently strode over to Vincent on the floor, kneeling down next to him. "You should have done your homework first. I'm going to have my fun with Emma now, and I'm going to make you watch." But Shaw quickly gasped in pain, as a clawed hand shot up and grabbed Shaw by his own testicles. Vincent opened his eyes, crimson fury blazing within them, as he slowly changed back to Chaos, making Shaw feel ever second. Chaos stood over Sebastian, his grip tightening on Shaw's manhood. "You made two fatal mistakes. You pissed me off, and you pissed Vincent off. Both of which aren't forgivable."
Chaos reached out and grabbed Shaw by the throat with his other clawed hand, as a reddish light began to glow from Chaos's hands. "Give Satan my regards in hell!" Chaos yelled, before releasing an energy blast, removing Shaw's head and genitals from his body. Dropping whatever he was still holding, he turned back to Emma, and quickly swiped at her ties, releasing her from the bed. Chaos looked to her, and gently spoke. "Treat him well. He deserves it." Chaos said simply, before fading away and letting Vincent have control again. Vincent looked to her, and Emma looked to him, and the two of them quickly embraced each other, in a deep and passionate kiss. And when the kiss ended, he looked into Emma's eyes. "Let's go home. I'm sick of this place." He says with a light smile, as Emma nodded taking his hand, and starting to walk out of the room. But the two of them looked to Pierce, still lying in a pool of his own blood from his arm, alive. "What should I do with him?" Vincent asked, as Emma looked to him. "You've done enough for the evening. Allow me, darling." Emma said with a cruel smirk, as she looked to Pierce. A pinkish glow started to emanate from his body, as she entered Pierce's mind, and completely tore it apart. As they walked out of the room, Pierce was left screaming like a mad man as sirens could be heard off in the distance.
The two of them made their way back to the mansion, and as they pulled up, Logan was standing in front of the garage, his arms crossed with a not so happy look on his face. Emma and Vincent got off together, and looked to him. "Do I even want to know why you're covered in blood, and you're wearing bondage ties?" Logan asked, regarding the two of them. Vincent moved to Logan, handed him the keys to his bike, and looked to him. "Lets just say we were at a wild party tonight. And it's probably best if you don't watch the news tomorrow." Vincent said with a slight smile, as Vincent moved back into the house, Emma quickly joining him. The two of them made their way upstairs, and reached the fork in the hall that divided the girls rooms from the boys. Vincent looked to Emma, as she looked back to him. "Thank you for saving me, Vincent. I don't think anybody else here would have come with me." Emma said, as Vincent looked to her. "You mean, you knew that they were going to try and rape you tonight?" Vincent asked, as Emma nodded. "I did. And I couldn't tell anyone else here but you. But I was scared and I didn't want to go through with it. That's why I needed you to come with me." Emma continued to explain as Vincent looked to her.
"So it was all a setup from the start?" Vincent questioned as Emma nodded, but moved in closer and lightly kissed his neck gently. "Yes it was. But aside from the obvious parts, I enjoyed the night. And nothing gets me turned on more than usages of force." She said with a sexy grin, as she took his hand and started to lead him down the hall of girl rooms. Vincent looked to her for a moment, then his eyes widened with what she was implying. "Emma...are you sure?" Vincent questioned as Emma looked back to him. "If I'm going to have sex tonight, it's going to be someone of my choosing. And the White Queen chooses you." Emma said, as she opened the door to her room, and left Vincent at the doorway. A moment later, Emma's dress hit him in the face with gentle force, as Vincent looked to her, whistled slightly, and walked into her room and closing the door behind him.
Meanwhile.........
The Sun gently rose over the nation of Japan, as sunlight gently shone down on the town of Hiroshima. A stray dog gently sniffs along some stray rubble looking for some food, but then begins to bark loudly, sniffing something in the air. Suddenly, a gray tentacle shoots out from the rubble, and grabs the dog around the waist, pulling him into the rubble, and as quickly as the yelping begins, it stops with a deadly silence.

Everyone in the audience stood and clapped, as both Vincent and Emma looked to themselves and then the audience, and composed themselves, with a slight blush in their cheeks.
And as they bowed, a man's clapping could be heard over all of them. "Bravo! That was truly a performance worthy of the Hellfire Club, and from our White Queen!" Sebastian Shaw stated from the top of the stairwell, as Vincent looked to Emma with a raised eyebrow. She looked back to him, and could only lower her eyes. Vincent turned back to Sebastian at the top of the stairs. He was beginning to wonder what kind of club this actually was. "Now, as you all know, this is truly a special night. Tonight is the night our White Queen fills her spot in our coveted inner circle! Guards, escort Miss Frost to my chambers." Sebastian continued on then finished, as Vincent could see guards approaching the two of them, and as he looked to the audience, to see everyone still cheering them on. He immediately looked back to Emma. "What's going on, Emma?" He asked as Emma looked to him. "Please don't ask, Vincent. I'll be back down soon." Emma simply stated, as she willingly went with the guards. And as they escorted her up to Sebastian, one of the other guards walked up to Vincent. "Don't feel bad, mate. It's nothing you did, they're just going to have some fun with her." The guard said as Vincent looked to him, his eyes narrowing, not liking where this was headed.
"What do you mean?" Vincent asked as he could see the guard smile. "It's the right of entering the Inner Circle. The gents get to have first stabs at the females, if you know what I mean. After all, what kind of club do you think this is?" The guard said with a friendly nudge to the Vincent's ribs, as a dawning realization appeared on Vincent's face. "Oh no! Emma!" He called out to her, but saw that she had already been taken upstairs. "There's nothing you can do. It's their right." The guard said, as Vincent looked to him. "Not if I have anything to say about it." Vincent said darkly as he grabbed the guard, and moved to toss him out the nearest window, hearing the guard scream all the way down. Vincent moved as fast as he could back to the check in stand, pushed himself past the guard, and grabbed Death Penalty from the closet. And as he leapt back into the room from the check in stand, he saw three guards running towards him. Vincent quickly spun his gun around a few times, and then holstered it, as he was encased in a green light. There was a bright flash, as the guards coming towards him were encased in solid Ice. Vincent ran past them as he dashed up the stairs heading for the master bedroom. He found it at the end of the hall, and quickly tried to get in, but found the door locked. Vincent moved to unholster Death Penalty quickly, and blow the lock, but quickly saw that it was laced with steel on the inside.
And as the shot rang out, Sebastian, Pierce, and another man with fiery orange hair looked back to the door. The orange haired man looked back to Sebastian. "Are you sure no one can get in, Shaw?" The man said as Sebastian looked to him. "Calm yourself, Leland. It will affect your performance." Sebastian said with a cruel smirk as Leland gave him the same grin. The three of them turned back to Emma, who was now strapped down to the bed. She struggled against the ties, as she looked to the three of them. "Don't worry, my dear. It won't hurt at all. I give you my word that you'll love every inch of this." Sebastian said with a cruel laugh, just loud enough for Vincent to hear outside. Vincent growled, and tried to pry the lock off himself, as he started to feel despair and fury rage over his body, as a crimson glow filled his eyes and his hands grabbed onto the door. And inside the bedroom, the three men approached the bed, some of them removing various pieces of clothing, and mainly their belts, until a bestial roar could be heard outside. And the next moment, all of them turned back to see the door being ripped off the hinges, and tossed back into the hallway. And there stood Chaos, breathing hard and his fangs and clawed bared, a red aura surrounding his body.
"I think you all are about to rape Valentine's woman. I simply can't allow that." Chaos said, as he closed his eyes. "They are all yours, Valentine." Chaos said simply, and looked back to Sebastian, Pierce and Leland before starting to fade away. "I would start praying to whatever deity you worship that he has mercy on you all." Chaos said with a loud laugh, before fading back to Vincent, his clothes torn slightly and Death Penalty in his hands. With a loud yell, Vincent leapt into the air, spun around slightly, and took aim with Death Penalty towards Pierce. A loud boom shook the room, causing china to fall off the drawer and break, as Vincent unloaded a shot at Pierce, seeing it tear into his right arm, almost ripping it off. As Pierce screamed and fell back clutching his arm as it bled, Leland came up from behind him and got him in a vicious bear hug. "You don't know who you're dealing with, boy." Leland growled as Vincent moved his head back to knock into Leland's for a ferocious head butt. And as Leland dropped him, Vincent dropped to the ground, sweeping Leland's legs out from under him. Vincent stood up quickly leveled Death Penalty to Leland's forehead. "The same goes for you too, sir." Vincent said darkly, before firing a shot right into Leland's skull.
Vincent turned around to see Shaw almost waiting for him to finish, as he spoke. "I can see why Emma came with you. It's unfortunate that you won't be able defeat me as easily. Come test your fate." Sebastian beckoned to him as Vincent growled again, leaping into the air and landing an earth- shattering kick to the side of Shaw's head. Once he landed, Vincent quickly drove the butt end of Death Penalty into Shaw's chest, and as Shaw doubled over, Vincent drove his rifle down to the back of Shaw's skull. But Vincent looked in horror as Shaw got back up and smiled to him. "I absorb physical and kinetic energy and send it right back. Have some of that kick you gave me!" He yelled as Shaw landed a right cross across Vincent's chin, then spun around gave Vincent a back hand strike, knocking him into the wall. Shaw gently strode over to Vincent on the floor, kneeling down next to him. "You should have done your homework first. I'm going to have my fun with Emma now, and I'm going to make you watch." But Shaw quickly gasped in pain, as a clawed hand shot up and grabbed Shaw by his own testicles. Vincent opened his eyes, crimson fury blazing within them, as he slowly changed back to Chaos, making Shaw feel ever second. Chaos stood over Sebastian, his grip tightening on Shaw's manhood. "You made two fatal mistakes. You pissed me off, and you pissed Vincent off. Both of which aren't forgivable."
Chaos reached out and grabbed Shaw by the throat with his other clawed hand, as a reddish light began to glow from Chaos's hands. "Give Satan my regards in hell!" Chaos yelled, before releasing an energy blast, removing Shaw's head and genitals from his body. Dropping whatever he was still holding, he turned back to Emma, and quickly swiped at her ties, releasing her from the bed. Chaos looked to her, and gently spoke. "Treat him well. He deserves it." Chaos said simply, before fading away and letting Vincent have control again. Vincent looked to her, and Emma looked to him, and the two of them quickly embraced each other, in a deep and passionate kiss. And when the kiss ended, he looked into Emma's eyes. "Let's go home. I'm sick of this place." He says with a light smile, as Emma nodded taking his hand, and starting to walk out of the room. But the two of them looked to Pierce, still lying in a pool of his own blood from his arm, alive. "What should I do with him?" Vincent asked, as Emma looked to him. "You've done enough for the evening. Allow me, darling." Emma said with a cruel smirk, as she looked to Pierce. A pinkish glow started to emanate from his body, as she entered Pierce's mind, and completely tore it apart. As they walked out of the room, Pierce was left screaming like a mad man as sirens could be heard off in the distance.
The two of them made their way back to the mansion, and as they pulled up, Logan was standing in front of the garage, his arms crossed with a not so happy look on his face. Emma and Vincent got off together, and looked to him. "Do I even want to know why you're covered in blood, and you're wearing bondage ties?" Logan asked, regarding the two of them. Vincent moved to Logan, handed him the keys to his bike, and looked to him. "Lets just say we were at a wild party tonight. And it's probably best if you don't watch the news tomorrow." Vincent said with a slight smile, as Vincent moved back into the house, Emma quickly joining him. The two of them made their way upstairs, and reached the fork in the hall that divided the girls rooms from the boys. Vincent looked to Emma, as she looked back to him. "Thank you for saving me, Vincent. I don't think anybody else here would have come with me." Emma said, as Vincent looked to her. "You mean, you knew that they were going to try and rape you tonight?" Vincent asked, as Emma nodded. "I did. And I couldn't tell anyone else here but you. But I was scared and I didn't want to go through with it. That's why I needed you to come with me." Emma continued to explain as Vincent looked to her.
"So it was all a setup from the start?" Vincent questioned as Emma nodded, but moved in closer and lightly kissed his neck gently. "Yes it was. But aside from the obvious parts, I enjoyed the night. And nothing gets me turned on more than usages of force." She said with a sexy grin, as she took his hand and started to lead him down the hall of girl rooms. Vincent looked to her for a moment, then his eyes widened with what she was implying. "Emma...are you sure?" Vincent questioned as Emma looked back to him. "If I'm going to have sex tonight, it's going to be someone of my choosing. And the White Queen chooses you." Emma said, as she opened the door to her room, and left Vincent at the doorway. A moment later, Emma's dress hit him in the face with gentle force, as Vincent looked to her, whistled slightly, and walked into her room and closing the door behind him.
Meanwhile.........
The Sun gently rose over the nation of Japan, as sunlight gently shone down on the town of Hiroshima. A stray dog gently sniffs along some stray rubble looking for some food, but then begins to bark loudly, sniffing something in the air. Suddenly, a gray tentacle shoots out from the rubble, and grabs the dog around the waist, pulling him into the rubble, and as quickly as the yelping begins, it stops with a deadly silence.
