I own Blade about as much as I own Jade. Listens to mysterious voice WHAT!?! DAMN!! Sigh, never mind, I don't own Blade. TT I will though, I will.
Blood ties
Chapter 2
Blade raced to the scene to find the girl flat on her back kicking at the attackers with everything she had. She had discarded her backpack in an effort to run away but they had caught up with her and now she was doing not a bad job of defending herself but she needed help and Blade was itching for a fight so he stepped in.
"We can do this the easy way, or we can do this the hard way" he said, knowing that there was only one way he was going to let them off, if they where dead.
A few of the vampires slinked off into the shadows, while the others continued their attack. Blade stepped in and killed a few dozen before making it to the child.
She was still fighting strong when she got hit in the stomach. She slowly curled over and fell to the ground. 'At least she hasn't been bitten yet,' but he knew that would not last long so he stepped in slaughtered a few more, getting to the girl before anything irreversible happened. 'Now to get out of here,' Blade said as he beat them off. The vampires started to back off, what? Vampires don't surrender. Then he saw it. The sun had come up and was sneaking across the horizon. The remaining vampires burned around him as the sun touched their pale skin.
Now, what about the girl? She was definitely the target for this one. He would take her back to Whistler's until later when she recovered. His timing could have been better though because the little bitch had apparently recovered and was kicking at Blade with all she had, which of course earned her a blow to the head that rendered her unconscious.
"Sorry sir, it was Blade, he staked out the house, we-"
"I DON'T CARE IF BLADE WAS THERE. I WANT THAT GIRL!"
"Yes sir, we have our best researchers on it right now sir, you needn't worry si-"
"WLL GET DOWN THERE NOW! AND DON'T COME BACK UNTILL YOU FIND HER!" dismissing his servant. How could they let her go? After he had found out so much, and even gave them an address to search at! But how did Blade get in on it? Some one must have spilled in hopes of being spared. He hated underlings that where unloyal to their masters. At least the researchers where doing an acceptable job, but they where mostly computers with AI! "I pay good money to the best, and look at what I get." sigh, this does not bode well. Jade woke up to unbelievable pain, she was about to moan when she sealed her mouth shut. This isn't her room. Uh-oh, not good. How exactly did she get here?
flashback
"Bye mom!" "Bye honey! Hope you have a good day at school!" "Bye!" She shut the door and started off to school, praying that she had a sub that day who had no idea what they doing, maybe Ricky would work his magic and get her so confused that there would be no work! Heh, she could dream, but she knew that her teacher would never pull a sick day. Oh well.
She had about reached the end of her street when she noticed that things had gotten quiet, she hurried her pace and kept going, watching her back as she went.
She saw it coming, and managed to duck a blow from the side as someone jumped off the roof towards her. Jumped off the roof? How is that-? She pondered, but not for long since she had to duck another blow as ran for it. Shit! They where caching up! What? How? In last efforts she dropped her bag and jacket and made a run for it home. THEY WHERE STILL CACHING UP? Ohhhhh-kaaayyy, this was so not her day. They still caught up AND PASSED?!?! THEY WHERE IN THE WAY!!! She saw nothing left to lose since her way home was blocked; she stopped and stood her ground. She wouldn't make it home and she wouldn't make it fighting but that was her last option. She had to go for it.
Big mistake.
There was--WHAT!?!?! I'm dead, I'm soooo dead. At least eighty super-human freaks. She let out a long list of choice words and random prayers, 'well,' she thought, 'another girl on the 'missing persons' list, I am so dead, sorry mom, sorry dad, sorry for not listening about taking shortcuts in life and especially about on the way to school.'
They attacked, she had taken those self-defence lessons, she would thank dad if she lived but now she had to make it home. Damn
She saw it coming, it was in slow motion but she couldn't stop it. It hit her stomach and she was down. That's it, she thought, I'm dead, I'm so dead. Then, they stopped. They backed away, she felt herself being picked up, oh no you don't; she struggled to escape her captor and escape, but got a heavy blow to the head instead.
Then it went Black.
End Flashback
Ugh, she got up slowly to find her arm bandaged and gauzed; it hurts so much, silently whining to herself. Now then where am I and how am I gonna get home? Finally deciding to get up and find her way out, she sat up and looked around the room. Sigh, how's she gonna get out of this one? Who where those freaks? She wasn't the best student but she didn't have anyone wanting to kill her, what's their problem with me?
She slowly padded down the stairs. One thing she was good at was sneaking, her father had taught her to pick locks and she could take your wallet and your watch without you knowing. She regularly snuck food without being noticed, this was child's play.
She made it down stairs when she saw them, an old man and a young black guy, it was the black man that had taken her, but the old man was a mystery. They where talking, about what she didn't know but she didn't care, she hid behind one of the numerous shelving sets and watched. She read their faces for any sign that they knew where she was, they knew. She froze.
Damn.
She made a break for it, successfully dodging shelves and clutter as she ran for the exit.
DAMN!
There was a fence over her exit, A FRICKEN' FENCE OVER HER EXIT!
She ran into the fence and started to climb, she reached the top when she swore again.
Barbwire, damn.
They SO didn't want anyone out.
She looked around, the old guy was below and the other was just daring her to jump over.
Damn.
She climbed down.
