Chapter 1
"I am afraid you don't understand, Love, "The voice whispered in her ear, in a foreign tongue, "you will be mine." Tsunami's eyes flew open. The young vampiress shook her head, black eyes showing naught but a shred of emotion. Once she had been Tsunami Knight, one of the most feared members of the Blood Hill group of assassins.
Tsunami had been a frightened 17 year old girl when Hawk found her. 18 year old Night was a shapeshifter and vampire, Sheila, his twin sister, who the gang called Shei was also a shapeshifter and a master knife wielder in the group. Then there was Rip and Keys. That was then. Now, she was Tsunami, Night's first Fledgling, and a vampire. She was so happy. Night was her lover and one of the first vampires. As Tsunami flopped down on her bed to continue her much wanted nap, her past came back in her dreams.
A frail teen huddled in the corner of the alley, afraid and lost. Sooner or later they would find her and take her away. Tsunami didn't want that. Not at all . . . "Yo! Hawk! Come look at this!"A male voice cut through the girl's peaceful state of unconsciousness, waking the frail girl, "Oh my God . . . "A concerned female voice said, "I know, Keys. I know."Once again, male, but deeper, "Is she alive, Shei?"A lighter voice . . . a teen's voice, asked, "Barely."A cold voice finally woke Tsunami. The lanky teen opened cloudy amber eyes, meeting a eighteen-year old boy's black ones, "Hawk! She's awake!"Tsunami shook her head slowly, trying to sit up.
She felt the boy lift her, "Shhh. You're in no condition to try anything right now.""Night, "A tall boy walked over, "Take her to the Infirmary in the hideout." 'Night' carried Tsunami into a room and set her on a soft bed, "My name is Night." "I'm Tsu..."She was cut off by his finger on her lips, "Shhh. It's okay. You need to rest."She nodded and closed her eyes.
A few days later, Tsunami was completely healed, "Hey! How ya feeling?"Tsunami looked up at Night with a smile, "Fine, thanks Night. Oh, by the way, my name's Tsunami."She said. Night leaned closer to her, whispering in her ear, "Tsunami...That's a pretty name."She blushed as she felt a gentle nibble on her earlobe before Night drew back. In the mere days Night had taken care of her, he had developed an affection for her. He ran his hand through her turquoise hair as she stood up, sliding his arm around her waist, giving her a tour of Blood Hill HQ.
Two weeks later, Night led her into the Blood Hill meeting room where Hawk, a lanky, brown haired man of 22, and the others were waiting, "Hey Wave. Night."Hawk looked up at the two, emerald green eyes flashing,"Who's Wave?"Tsunami whispered to Night, "That would be you."A tall girl of 19 stepped out of the shadows, Her brown eyes soft, running her hand through short red-gold hair, "The name's Keys. That there's Rip."She said, gesturing to a bulky, 20 year-old man with stubs of black hair and hard sky blue eyes. Night's sister Sheila a.k.a. "Shei"stood, leaning in a corner, watching Tsunami with her icy amethyst eyes, her silver hair tied up in a long ponytail.
"So, Hawk. What is it now?"The shapeshifter asked, his black eyes bored, arm still around Tsunami's waist as they sat, "We got a call to 'Take Care of ' a guy. Slicer and Hawk seemed to smirk. Keys was indifferent, as was Rip(Keys' boyfriend). Tsunami looked to Night. Night's eyes were completely blank, "Who's supplying the weapons?"Hawk glared at Night, "Our client wishes to remain anonymous. The one we're after is Mr. Nicholas Knight."Tsunami's eyes went wide and she stood up suddenly, "What's up, Wave?" "You said Nicholas Knight...That's my father."The others stared at her, "So? He abandoned you."
Tsunami's crimson red eyes were hard and angry, "This job is mine. I do this one, alone."Hawk stood, "No."Night nodded in agreement, "I think Hawk is right.. It's dangerous and-" "YOU TWO DON'T KNOW HIM LIKE I DO!"Tsunami screamed. She flicked her wrists out and two knives with silver hilts and blades made of chipped garnet slid into her hands. She held them expertly, 'Thanks Shei.' The young half witch half human girl said in Sheila's mind. Sheila had trained her for this for two weeks.
She was on the streets outside, headed toward her father's house when arms slid around her waist from behind her, "I'm going with you, Tsunami."Night's voice whispered in her ear, his lips on her earlobe, sucking on it and nipping it, "No. I have to do this alone,""But I can get there faster."This time the whisper sent shivers down her spine, "What do you mean?"Night put his hands around her shoulders and then they were in front of her father's house, "Fine. You come with."Tsunami growled.
Nicholas Knight was inside his house. Ever since he had put that little wench he had to call a daughter in the Orphanage, he had let go. He was lounging on the couch, watching a plasma screen TV. Tsunami watched him, disgusted. Night put a hand on her shoulder as they walked through the door. Nicholas heard someone walk in, "If you're one o' them salespeople, I eÇıt buyin'."
"'Fraid you ain't got a choice, Nicholas. There's a bounty on your head, an' we'll collect it." Tsunami muttered,"Ali!"Nicholas stared incredulously. Tsunami's knives flipped out into her hands, "What can you do, Night?"Nicholas had been screaming when he suddenly shut up, "Good. Now..."Tsunami's two blades were crossed over the man's throat. She was careful not to leave any prints and dug a knife through his heart, "The deed is done."
Tsunami had fainted right after she had killed her Father. He teleported them to an alley a little ways away from the hideout. The vampire stood her up, "Tsunami...Wake up." Tsunami stirred and looked at Night, her eyes widening as she realized he had her up against a wall, "Tsunami...I need you to do me a favor."She raised an eyebrow in question. Night just lowered his lips to her pale throat, his brown hair brushing her cheek, "May I...have a drink?"Tsunami relaxed, submissively, "Yes. Just don't kill me."
