Hi! I'm sorry I haven't updated but I blame the lack of reviews! If I get encouraging reviews it puts me in a mood to write! Also this is not my first story but the other one has about 4 chapters and hasn't been typed up yet so it's the first one seen by anyone but me! Any questions? Comments? Support? Constructive Criticism? Review! Please note that I REFUSE to post a chapter that is less than 3 pages long, unless it just screams "End me here!!" Apologies that this sounds so much like the movie, but I gotta get the basic point across and the info around, I'm trying to make this original but some things have to be said. Disclaimer: I don't own Blade, Blade 2, or any characters that regularly occur in Blade 1/2, yet.....

Blood ties

Chapter 3

Jade could not believe her ears, Vampires? But after what she had seen she had no choice. What struck her the hardest was the fact that her family was probably already dead, or worse. She had never known her father, he had abused her mother so she fled with the children across the border from Canada to the US, that being her, Jade, her little brother, and her unborn sister, just to realize where they probably where now made her heart stop, she was shaken but hid it well, never breaking eye contact with the man in front of her, Whistler.

"They lost you so they'd be after yer' family, won't do them much good though, they probably know that you're with us," He explained

"Us?"

"Me and Blade over there, we make up the majority of the resistance, we and a few others hold vampirism off the human race, but we can't save everyone." He continued, "They're everywhere, and they don't only come out at night,"

"Aren't vampires afraid of the light?"

"The real ones yes, but they have human followers,"

"What do you mean?" She quizzed, "Why would humans follow vampires of their own will?"

"In hopes of getting either bitten or spared, it's the power over others that drive them to slavery,"

Whistler continued to explain it to Jade, she was both shocked and amazed, and especially when she heard that she wasn't aloud to leave.

"WHAT?! WHY NOT!?"

"They're after you, if you didn't notice they didn't bite you when they caught you, there for they probably want you, and what they need we don't give them,"

Jade didn't know what to think, not being allowed to leave? She couldn't go home? All she wanted was to curl up in her bed and wake up, but she couldn't even leave! This guy is worse than mom!

"In the meantime," he told her, "You'll be staying here, you can have Blade's room-god knows how much he sleeps, there's a bed and table but I don't suggest you touch anything, if you enjoy having fingers."

Jade went upstairs in silent shock, what am I gonna do? She asked herself, I'm stuck here with two old guys I don't even know! How the hell am I supposed to go to school if I can't even leave? Mom, I miss you, I miss you to Sara, and I even miss Jared!

She flopped onto "her" bed, a habit her mother had always hated, were where they now? She wouldn't be surprised if her brother, Jared had always been a vampire, but Mom? She had never felt so alone, her family! Max was probably dead, dogs most likely weren't on the top of the list as "new recruits", but her mom and siblings, she just couldn't get over it, they had always been close but now...

She curled up in a ball under the sheets, wishing with all she had that it would all go away and that she'd wake up in her bed. Even a Monday morning would be welcome as long as she could see them all again, completely understanding that she probably would not, ever, and if she ever did she would wish she hadn't. Her mind raced, thoughts of her friends, teachers, and even enemies ran through her mind, as she softly fell into the night.

,.=""=.,,.=""=., ---lots 'o fun

"What should we do now?" asked Whistler

"Aren't you the one with the plans?" Blade replied,

"Well she can't stay here forever, and I 'aint raising no teenager, she needs a home." He thought for a second, "Would Karen still be alive?"

"Worth a look," Blade replied, "I'll go in the morning, for now I need to check something,"

"Right, and if you come across any vampires messangers, you know we need them" There was silence as Blade walked off, night had fallen and he was anxious to get going. Whistler remained where he was, polishing and fine-tuning guns and knives, It was nearly morning when he finally went upstairs and went to bed.

,.='""'=.,,.='""'=.,

Blade traveled in his car to a well-known club, what was different here was that it was exclusive, very exclusive, species exclusive, as in vampires only.

He had raided this one several times, but it always seemed to come back.

What fun.

He entered through the front doors, guns blazing, taking down the guards and any random vampires who where lingering in the entrance, he had been here before and noticed something new, Fresh blood. He could smell it from here, fresh human blood.

He had not had his serum yet.

It hit him like a wave, coupled with the thirst a horde of vampires attacked, he shook off the thirst for the time being and concentrated on the job at hand, the fight.

He pulled out his sword and stopped the countdown, then walked through the crowd, slicing anyone who stopped him until he made it upstage, where he pulled out his guns,

"Ok everyone this is a shootout, please stay where you are while I..." he trailed off as he put away his sword and pulled out his guns, firing in a circle around him hitting every vampire to close as the crowd emptied out of the club. Blade walked forward, off the stage and into the commotion, switching guns as his where empty and continuing to fire into the crowd, and at the guards that tried to stop him. Whoever owned this club had a lot of money and very little brains, every time he came in here it seemed that the guards where no better trained or supplied.

It was really too easy.

He continued firing around the room, quickly remembering to leave a few stragglers to interrogate later. Hmmm, he thought to himself, who...? He spotted a few running for the door and he spotted their glyphs, he couldn't tell from the distance but he went for them, something was better than nothing.

He caught up with them outside in the dark, they put up a fight but not nearly one that could stand up to him.

"Well well, what do we have here?" He read the marks, "Vamist huh, well tell me what you know,"

"Go to hell," the vampire spat, "Is that so..." Blade replied, he unsheathed his sword and cut, ever so slowly, into his back, "Aaaarrrh!!" He yelled, "He has plans to bring the vampire race to new heights! He will not be stopped!" "Really, and what would these plans be?" he said as he dug his sword deeper into the flesh, "Arrhrraaaaahhhh!" he screamed, panting he replied "He found a-a prophecy, one that will change the fate of the world!" "What is this prophecy...?" "I don't know! ARRRGH! I DON'T KNOW!!" He screamed, pleading for his life, "I'm just a servant, he doesn't tell anyone his plans!! All I know is that a child is involved! Please, I have a family, I beg you..." He continued pleading but Blade wasn't listening, a child? Maybe Jade had more of a purpose? By now he had learned that things foretold in the scrolls where to be taken seriously, by god he hated prophecies, they always found a way of coming through in one form or another. He looked at the man, he was pleading for his life in one forum or another. "Please! No! I have children and a wife! My family! Please don't..." Blade thought, so did I, and so did Jade. He struck with his sword, and a lifeless corps fell.
