Chapter 5 - The New and Improved Renee Palmer

AN: I am very sorry that I haven't updated in a while but I've been sick for three weeks straight! Luckily one of those weeks was Spring Brake so I'm only a little behind on my schoolwork. On the other hand I've been sick all that time I was suppose to be having fun. But I'm better now and one year older. Yes one year older I had my birthday in-between being sick. Anyway you don't want to hear about my aging so on with the story.

Howlyn didn't move from were he stood. His gaze never leaving her. He tensed waiting to see what she would do in her new state.

"How do you feel?" he asked searching her face carefully.

"I feel powerful." She said swinning her hips as she walked towards him. She glanced at the frightened scientist still held in his hands. Thinking it better to have his hands free he dropped the shaking man. The scientist scrambled to safety leaving Howlyn and Renee alone.

Renee watched has the man left seeming to run all the way. Turning her gaze back to Howlyn she moved closer.

"You are more powerful and fertile." He said still watching her. Her eyes swept over his body in a quick movement stepping so close that she was inches from him.

"About that..." She said licking her lips. Howlyn didn't wait he wrapped his arm around her waist holding her to him, his own lips twitching slightly.

"Yes...Ihave just the place." He said leading her out of the joining area. He stole a glance at her as Renee slipped her own arm around him. Her very touch was like fire to his skin. As they walked Howlyn noticed another male hybrid pass them in the hall. Howlyn let out a protective growl pulling Renee closer to him. The hybrid continued on his way acting as though they weren't there.

"Possessive aren't we?" Renee asked looking over her shoulder at the passing man.

"What is mine no one may have." He said continuing down the hall at a faster pace.

"Would this have anything to do with that." Renee said parting her golden hair to show the scare on the back of her neck. Now that is a sure sign that she's a hybrid. The wound would never have scared so fast if she wasn't. He thought examining the mark.

"I'll tell you later. It doesn't matter right now." He said turning into one of his rooms on the ship. It was darkly lit with lots of space between the various pieces of furniture. A type of leather lounging couch and a few chairs were what seemed to be an underused living room. To the right of the doorway was a rather large bed withdark green silk sheets.

Renee broke away from Howlyn's tight hold on her running her hand over the couch. She turned slightly to look over her shoulder at him smiling seductively.

"Nice, but not what I was expecting." She said turning to face the huge windows spanning the opposite wall. Slowly Howlyn slipped behind her breathing lightly on her neck.

"You're not what I expected either." He whispered into her ear kissing her neck lightly. She rolled her head slightly to see him.

"And I plan to keep surprising you by not telling you anything about the resistance." She said turning all the way around to face him. For a second Howlyn didn't move.

"What did you say?" He asked slowly trying very hard to control his sudden anger.

"I will help you on your cause but any information about the resistance you'll have to come up with. And you can't use any of my things to help find them either." She said defiantly pushing past him.

"What!" He roared spinning back around.

"Part of me is still human Howlyn. I will not betray my friends but I will go on any mission to help with your cause. The only reason I'd even help you do that is becuase if I want to live for more that a few day's I'd have to." She said sitting down on the rumpled bed.

"So you'll help add to my numbers but you won't tell me were your headquarters is, is that it?" He demanded pacing the room glaring at her.

"That's right, but I will do something else to make up for it." She said leading back slightly in the bed. The slight movement and the tone of her voice were all he needed to stop his pacing. His eyes trailed up her body missing nothing.

"I see. Although that is very tempting you'll have to do something a little more." He said moving so that one of her legs was caught between his and his arms on either side of her. His face again inches from hers.

"What?" She asked her eyes locked on his lips.

"I'll tell you later." He sneered licking his lips, his eyes gleaming. Suddenly Renee lashed her hands out pulling his face to hers. Her tough opened his lips while her hands held him there. One of his hands moved to her back lowering her onto the bed, while his other hand pulled at her thigh.

Renee's arms wrapped around his neck almost afraid that he would slip away. Howlyn trailed his kisses down her jawbone to the hollow of her throat. His tough lashed out into the little spot sending chills down Renee's spine. She gasped at the feeling, letting her hands move down his back. Through the thick material she could feel rock hard muscles moving under her fingers.

She let out a powerful moan as he pressed against her. Renee rebelled in the moment a second or to before shifting her hands under his shoulders and pushed him away.

Howlyn stood a few feet away from the bed trying to control him self. His body shaking with the extreme effort. His eyes asking a silent question.

"Strip." Renee ordered pulling her shirt over her head. Smiling he quickly stepped out of his exo-suit just as she finished pulling off her black shorts. Wasting no time Howlyn dove at the bed pulling Renee to the center of it. He planted a rough passionate kiss on her lips his hands roaming up her body. Renee hand one hand entangled in his hair while the over rubbed his back in time to his motions.

Leaving her mouth, he moved downwards, to her neck. He licked, and nibbled, making her wither underneath his hard body. God, he seemed so warm, and full of passion, it seemed to consume her-

His hands that had being fingering her breasts now stopped. A firm hand was pressed against her waist, keeping her down. She whimpered in protest . . . but her whimper turned into another moan ofpleasure, when his tongue flicked out at her nipple. She gasped loudly. God I need more. She thought pressing harder against him. His skin was so soft . . . so soft . . . his broad back, and his powerful shoulders.

Her thoughts were cut off though as his mouth closed around her nipple, and suckled hungrily. Renee clinging to him for dear life, as his hands worked wonders in her body. . God; I don't think I've ever felt like this! Pressed against her thigh, she felt his own hardness. She was apparently having her own effect on him. Suddenly his mouth moved up again, seeking relief at her ruby lips. Their tongues met, and battled in a kiss of flesh, of passion, and of lust.

Every nerve on Renee's body was on fire. Every touch of his fingers sent her rocking. She needed him now. Her legs opened slowly, allowing him better access. Her muscles strained, waiting. It was so close she could feel it, his warm body moving closer.

"AAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" She screamed as he pushed his way inside her. Her breath was now coming fast and labored. Her hands were wrapped around his back holding him to her as she moved with him. Their bodies seemed to pulse together rocking them both to the core.

Howlyn buried his face in her hair breathing in her perfumed scent. His body straining to move faster and harder. He could feel her legs wrap around his locking her self in place. He roared as his climax rock his body releasing inside her. Hers was soon to follow pulsing around him. For an instant they both didn't move trying to get their breaths back.

Howlyn moved from his place on top and rolled onto his back closing his eyes. Renee after a moment moved to place her head on his shoulder curling against his side for warmth. She sighed lightly as one of his arms slide around her protectively.

"Tired already?" Renee asked looking up at him. His head rolled down to look at her his eyes gleaming with mischief.

"Atavus have a very high endurance rate. I was just enjoying myself." He replied his mouth twitching around the corners.

"Good cause I'm not done with you yet." Renee said rolling on top of him.

"Then show me human." He taunted.

For an instant Renee didn't know where she was. She did know she was warm and very tired. She lazily opened one of her eyes and looked up. She was met with two amazing alien eyes staring back at her. Stretching against him she reached up and kissed him.

"How long have you been awake?" She asked settling back into his arms.

"I didn't sleep as long as you do." Howlyn said still staring at her.

"Then why are you still here?" She asked him surprised.

"You are my queen I will not leave you." He said his gaze buried in hers.

"Well you better get used to leaving me. I do have a life of my own." She said getting up. She swung her bare legs over the side of the bed and started to pull on clothes. "Does that bite mark have anything to do with me being queen or what ever. And don't tell me you'll tell me later cause it's later now." She said through the shirt as she pulled it over her head.

"It is sign that you belong to me as my mate now and forever. Most Atavus don't mate for life when they do they mark their counter part. My marking you makes you my mate and queen." He said propping him self up onto his elbow.

"Wow." Renee said leaning over to kiss him. One of his hands moved to hold her there before she could do anything about it. Finally braking from his grip and pulled away. "I have to get a few things." She said starting to leave. Howlyn grabbed her arm stopping her.

"What things?" He asked suspiciously.

"My clothes, my computer, and maybe a bite to eat." She said glancing from his hold on her to his face.

"I can get all of those things from here. Even a human or two for you to eat." His said not letting her go.

"I'll hunt my own food, now let me go." Renee said pulling her arm free. She walked from the bed area and picked a leather jacket off the couch heading for the door.

"After you hunt meet me on the bridge." She heard himorder from behind her as she headed for the portal.

New York, what a perfect place to hunt. So many people that no one would notice missing in a million years. Renee thought walking down one of the busy streets to her apartment. The sounds of the city sang in her newly advanced ears. She could hear a baby sneeze on the other side of the street during rush hour. Today however she was more interested to look at all the faces that she passed.

None of them have any idea that I could kill them all now. No idea at all. She thought as a middle aged man passed her. She suddenly had the urge to snap out and plunge her cleaves into his chest. She felt this burning go through her body long for the energy so near by. Gaining control quickly she hurried on her way. Shit that was close. She though glancing at the man over her shoulder. Better hurry so I can pick my own food.

When she was half way to her apartment when she felt a gun barrel press into her back.

(AN: Ok the fighting scene will be done by my good friend Papa G Smurf. He is not on the Internet so don't look for him. He is very good so enjoy and thanks to him for doing this.)

"Ok miss don't say a word and turn into the next ally way and you may live through this." Said a gruff male voice from behind her. Renee could have turned around and laughed in his face. He doesn't have any idea how much danger he's in. She thought walking in to the nearest ally.

The ally was just the size that a car could get through and was very dark. It was only 10:00 am but the multi-story buildings on either side cased shadows over the whole way. Large trash bins lined the sides and two high up fire escapes.

"Now don't turn around and hand me all your money." Said the same voice.

"Is that how you get off? Stealing money from woman. Deciding whether they live or die." She said turning around. Before her was a middle aged brown haired man wearing a ratty brown coat and pants to match. He was very dirty but Renee guessed he was a Caucasian.

"What the hell are you doing? You don't know who you're messing with here lady." He said completely ignoring what she was saying to him.

"That's where you're wrong I know what I'm messing with. It's you who don't know what you're messing with." Renee sneered without a trace of fear.

Renee quickly shot a powerful punch his way. Her fist connected with his nose with a sharp CRACK making him drop the gun.

"Fuck!" He shouted holding his bleeding nose. Seeing her opening Renee dropped to the ground sweeping the ground with her leg she kicked her attacker onto his back. Renee grabbed the gun for the gun. She then weighed it in her hand.

"You stupid idiot. Did you really think no one would find out that you're holding people up with a plastic gun?" She said dropping the gun to the ground. Using little effort she grounded the plastic thing into dust, plastic pieces spraying out around her feet.

The mugger stared angrily at his broken weapon. Then a slight smile pulled at the corners of his mouth. Without Renee noticing he pulled a knife out from his belt he swung it in a wide arc at her. Renee ducked in time to avoid the blade as it flew at her head. She could even feel the knife as it flew through her head.

Reaching up she secured his arm over shoulder and slammed her knee into his stomach. He fell away holding his stomach in pain dropping the knife. Renee then snapped out sending him flying across the ally with a kick to the head.

Renee ran towards the same wall leaping on to one of the garbage bins. She then pivoted around and jumped onto the opposite wall. Using the same technique she moved to the first side of the ally and onto the fire escape. Taking a large and final leap she grabbed hold of the roof. Swinging her self up she started on her way.

"Bitch!" The bum yelled from below her. Renee stopped in her tracks; slowly she turned around.

"Yeah you heard me bitch!" He shouted his voice filled with anger. Rage was building inside her boiling over to become a murderous fury. Leaping off the roof she landed right next to the man. Her newly found rage moved form her body and into her hand extending her energy cleaves. Stepping forward with one foot she stabbed them into his chest.

(AN: The rest of this chapter will be written by everyone's favorite author AthenBlade. Oh goodie!)

The energy coursed through her body sending amazing warmth to every nerve. Her whole body sang with the renewed strength. Stepping away she let his lifeless body fall to the street. What's going on with me? Even if he were a criminal his death would have bothered her. But she felt nothing towards him. Not regret, sadness, or even disgust, just nothing.

Glancing quickly about to make sure that no one had seen her Renee turned and headed down the ally towards her apartment fully refreshed.

AN: Wasn't that great! The fight scene I mean. Tell me what you think of Papa G Smurf's work and I'll pass it on. He really wants to know so please review.
