Angel In Blood
Chapter 5
"FUCKING HANNIBAL KING!" A female voice screamed out in anger as a fist came flying down, crushing the marble beneath a pale white hand. "We had Blade. We had him! And don't tell me that it could have been worse." Danica Talos said tartly, one dark eyebrow twitching in frustration.
A blonde with a smirk slunk around the table, leering at her. "Sister, do you need a time out?" He laughed when she responded 'Blow me'. "Its like this dearie, we were caught with our pants down." Asher said.
Nursing a bleeding eye socket, Jarko snorted. "Our pants down? They fucking ass raped us!" He turned his attention to the Pomeranian in his lap.
Releasing another growl and lunging out a leg, effectively knocking the girl to her left out, Danica calmed down enough to talk again. "We need to do better people. We cannot afford to blow this!"
"So you lost the great hunter to some renegades?" A dark voice said from the shadows. Danica stiffened and turned to look over her shoulder in anticipation. Drake emerged from the darkness, his pupils fluctuating. "Maybe it is time I should join the game."
Tension filled the air as everyone got their gear set up the following day. It was a day filled full of familiars. The general plan was to get as many familiars to talk and find out as much as they could on Drake.
Serenity carefully avoided being dragged into conversation by Abigail, and Hannibal and Blade eyed each other warily as they climbed into the car. Finally, Abigail gave up and started messing with her laptop. Blade looked over the seat and quirked an eyebrow. Hannibal saw him looking and decided to explain.
"Abigail likes to listen to music while she hunts. It's like her own internal soundtrack." Hannibal stated. "Electro, triphop, whatever kids are listening to these days." He shrugged. "Now me, I'm a David Hasselhoff fan." He started the car and drove to their first destination.
A.N.: Now this is the point in the movie where Blade and the others proceed to beat the hell out of familiars and whatnot for about five minutes. I am going to skip all that but just pretend that I wrote a lot of ass kickery and a lot of glyphs being shown. NEXT!
"Aaaahhhhhhhhh!" A man screamed as he was dropped down the center of a parking garage ramp by his ankle. Blade slowly pulled him back up until he just dangled over the side of the 10 story structure.
The man saw his reflection in those black shiny lenses. "I am going to ask again, who is up higher on the food chain than you?" The man started to make a denial when he suddenly fell from sight again and screams could be heard once more. He was reeled up once more and before the hunters could say anything, a ringing of a cell phone was heard. Blade looked at the others, but they all shrugged or shook their heads. He looked down. "Oh its you! Give me the phone." The man struggled a bit and then retrieved his phone from his pocket and passed it up.
Blade pushed the button. "Hello? Hello!" The voice of Dr. Edward Vance was heard through the phone line. "I told you to call only if it was important!" With that he hung up the phone.
Abigail looked at Blade. "Well I guess we know where to go now. Lets go." She turned and walked off, followed by Serenity and Hannibal. Blade shrugged and let go of the rope. An audible thud was heard as he walked to catch up with the others. Abigail was near the car when Serenity walked up behind her. Leaving Hannibal and Blade, she pulled on Serenity's arm and tugged her away from the other two. Distantly she heard Hannibal mention something about too much sugar. Blade looked uneasy.
"Sere, what is wrong with you? You are normally never this quiet when we hunt." Abigail asked in concern.
Serenity looked over at Blade and Hannibal before looking back at Abigail. "Nothing. This is just a serious hunt for me. Kind of brings up some issues." She flashes back to the conversation with Hannibal. For a few seconds she looks pained before her eyes harden in to ships of ice. "I just want to end this hunt for good."
"Why does that sound so ominous, Ren? Please don't tell me this is a death mission."
Looking to Hannibal again, he catches her looking and Serenity stops herself from crying by biting her bottom lip, drawing the coppery taste of blood onto her tongue. "No. Not a death mission. Just an end to the means," she says loud enough for Hannibal to hear and stalks off to stand on the other side of the car.
Hannibal looked hurt before he quickly covered it with a noncommittal look. He calmly walked over to the car where Abigail and Blade followed right behind him. The two of them climbed into the car. Serenity stared into the car for a moment before turning away. "I'll meet you guys there. I am going by rooftop." Before anyone could say anything, she was off.
The car ride to the doctor's office was a quiet one. Abigail was driving and occasionally looking to Blade with curiosity. Either he didn't notice or he did and ignored it. That was Whistlers daughter. Nothing could be done about that so he wouldn't let it, no matter what she felt. Hannibal just stared out the window, watching Serenity gracefully jump from rooftop to rooftop.
Finally Abigail broke the silence. "So we are going to the doctor to find out more?" she asked.
Blade sat for a moment then answered, "Yep."
"Which means you or I or all of us will threaten him?"
More silence. "Yep."
Abigail paused before she answered. "Don't throw him out a window."
Blade didn't answer for five minutes. "Ok."
They finally arrived to the office building where Serenity was patiently waiting outside the doors for them. She looked up as the walked to her. "Shall we?" she asked motioning inside.
Walking in like they belonged there, Blade took out the guard nearest the door while Hannibal and Serenity took care of the guards at the desk. The last guard standing reached for the security button. As he got closer to it, he heard a click and looked up. Hannibal smiled at him from behind his gun. "Don't do that."
Serenity and Abigail walked up the stairs closely followed by Blade and Hannibal. As they got closer to the office, the secretary rose and started to tell them they couldn't go inside the office, that the doctor was busy. Abigail just looked and pointed at her. "Sit" she commanded her. The secretary listened.
Pushing open the door, Blade walked in and saw Dr. Edward Vance standing in front of his desk, looking confused. Abigail and Hannibal followed after, leaving Serenity just outside the office. Abigail holds up her gun and points it at Vance, with Blade and Hannibal following suit. "Where is he?" Abigail demanded.
Vance squinted his eyes at her. "Where is who?"
Hannibal walked around the desk and gasped. The doctor, the REAL doctor, was lying on the floor, presumably dead. "Shit its him! Abby, its Drake. Shoot him!" He shouted at her pulling the trigger.
Vance dodges a bullet from Blade and morphs back into Drake, shoving the desk at Blade who leaps easily over it.
Serenity heard all of the commotion and ran into the office, only to gasp when she entered the room. Drake heard her gasp and turns to look at her. Realizing who it is he stares in amazement and whispers one word. "Sarit…."
Hannibal looked between the two and began to fire at Drake. Drake spins and grabs Hannibal from behind, pulling out one of the stakes and holding it to his chest. "Shoot me, Abigail. Just shoot!" Yelled Hannibal, struggling against Drakes hold.
Drake sneered. "Yes shoot him and maybe you will hit me. It wont do you any good but you can try." Serenity growled at Drake. He glared at her, jealousy flaring. Drake stabbed Hannibal in the shoulder with the stake and leapt through the window. Blade followed him soon after.
A.N. I am going to skip the Blade/Drake scene but this is what happens. Blade chases Drake through walks up stairs and to a rooftop where Drake holds a baby. Drake pulls the 'humans are food' speech and threatens to throw a baby over the side of a rooftop. He tosses the baby up and disappears while Blade catches the baby and says 'cootchie coo.'
Abigail ran to Hannibal as he slumped to the floor. Serenity just stood and looked out the window where Drake and Blade had gone. "Dagon…"
"Did you see that? There is no way we are going to beat that. We are so screwed!" Hannibal babbled as Abigail tried to calm him down. She pulled out a device that looked like a metal squirt gun. "Whoa whoa whoa what is that?" He asked in a panicked voice.
"Relax. Its an elastic protein. It will stop the hemorrhaging." She explained patiently to him.
"Is it going to hurt?"
"Its going to sting a little, yea."
Serenity looked over at the two of them. As she watched Abigail administer the 'band aid' she looked at the tender look Abigail gave to Hannibal. She felt a small part of her heart twinge at the sight of him looking up to her so trustingly. He will never look at me like that, she thought sadly to herself. Biting back tears she stayed long enough until Blade returned and helped to load a drugged up Hannibal into the car, before she slipped away into the setting sunlight.
Danica looked out into the twilight, fingering the necklace at her throat. She jumped when she heard Drake speak up behind her. "Why do you wear that symbol?"
Looking over her shoulder at him she replied, "I used to be a good Catholic school girl. Once."
"You and your God. He was created by your people, for confession so you could ease your guilt. But he is not my God. I do not answer to him." Drake said, holding a glass of wine and walking up to her.
She turned away and walked over to the bed, climbing up and standing on the mattress. "Do you have any sins you would like to confess?"
He walked and stood in front of her, looking at the necklace. "Take it off."
"Why?"
He grabbed her by her hair, pulling her head back. "I'll make you a new one."
She fumbled with the clasp before pulling off from around her neck and throwing it on the floor. Tilting her head back, he bit into her neck and started drinking, her face glowing in ecstasy. He released her, letting her fall back onto the bed.
Drake crawled on top of her while she reveled in the feeling. He leaned over and whispered in her ear, "There is a saying from my time. Kill one man you are a murderer, kill a thousand, a king. Kill them all, a god." With that he bit into her neck again while she purred in his ear.
Back at the Night Stalker HQ, Abigail and Blade had just gotten Hannibal settled into the bed in the hospital wing. Blade started to walk out of the room when Hannibal stopped him. "Hey Blade. Have you ever thought what you were going to do once this is all over? When all the vampires are dead? Somehow I cant picture you teaching karate at the local Y."
Blade glared at him before walking out of the room. Abigail stepped up to the bed. "he doesn't like me does he?"
Abigail didn't hesitate. "No. Not really."
He paused and took a breath before speaking again. "Where is Serenity? She didn't come back with us."
"I don't know. She ran off shortly after we loaded you up. She didn't look too happy."
'Do you think she still has feelings for him? Drake I mean." Hannibal asked, not looking at Abigail.
She shrugged. "I don't know, but I doubt it. What happened between you guys last night?"
Hannibal rolled over before answering. "Nothing. Exactly like she wanted. Good night Abby." She stood in the room for a few more minutes before leaving.
Serenity had been standing outside the window the entire time they were talking. Sliding the window open, she crept inside and stood at Hannibal's back, waiting for his pain relievers to kick in so that she could talk to him and if anything happened he could blame it on being a dream.
She crawled onto the bed beside him and curled up around him, pressing her front flush with his back. "Who…?" He started to mumble before he rolled over and saw her." Serenity, where have you been? We have been worried."
She placed her finger to his lips and told him to shush. "I came back for tonight only. I wanted to say goodbye."
Hannibal smiled goofily, the drugs kicking in. "What are you talking about? You aren't going anywhere. Silly vampire." He giggled.
She tried to smile with him but couldn't bring herself to do it. Looping her arms behind his head, she pulled him to her and pressed her lips against him, tears streaming down her face. Within seconds, she could feel him responding to the kiss, pulling her closer to him, and finally rolling her on top of him.
She straddled his waist as she continued to kiss him, placing butterfly kisses all over his face and chest, carefully avoiding his neck area. It had been hours since she fed, but she had to do this before it was too late. He pulled her black tank top over her head, revealing a silver lace bra, her belly button glinting in the moonlight. She almost let out a yelp when his mouth strayed to her neck and chest. Reaching down, she licked a long line up his chest, causing him to moan softly. She shushed him and then shuddered when his mouth closed over her cloth-covered nipple. His nimble hands reached around behind her and undid the clasp, pulling the offending item away and laying it on the floor.
Sitting up he leaned forward and captured one of her nipples in his mouth, slowly teasing it to a stiff bud. Serenity had to bite her lip to keep from crying out. Finally she couldn't stand it anymore and pulled off his pants and boxers, leaving him naked except for the bandage around his torso and shoulder. She did the same to herself and climbed back on his hips. Before she could do anything else, Hannibal moved one hand in between them and slid one finger inside her before she could stop him. This time she did cry out, only hoping that no one was near the hospital wing. Sure long stroke brought wave after wave of ecstasy for her and just as she was nearing her peak she stopped him. Removing his finger, she pulled him inside her in one swift stroke, causing them both to gasp. She moved slowly up and down, reveling in the feeling of him inside her. Slowly they picked up the pace, moving to a primal rhythm that has been known since the beginning of time. He rocked with her, his hands moving from her breasts to her hips, guiding her in time with him. Finally, the ever building passion exploded from within them both, causing Serenity to cry out and Hannibal to groan as he emptied inside of her.
After a few minutes had passed Serenity had relaxed enough to look up at Hannibal, who looked on the verge of passing out. He looked down to see her beautiful face almost awash in the moonlight, her eyes glowing with an ethereal light. She leaned up and kissed him one last time before standing and getting dressed.
Leaning over his almost asleep form, she whispered to him, "This was a pleasant dream wasn't it?" He murmured his agreement. "Since this is a dream, I can tell you now. I love you Hannibal King, and because of that I have to leave you." Kissing his forehead, she leapt out the window, missing his response to her message before he passed out in post-passion slumber.
Serenity stood dressed in black leather pants and a silver halter top. Her hair whipped around her as she stood on the rooftop waiting for her company to arrive. After leaving Hannibal, she contacted Drake in the way that only she and Drake could do, telling him where to meet her.
"I know you are there." She said, not looking behind her. Drake stepped up to the ledge beside her, looking down on the city with her. "We meet again my dear Dagon. You smell like that whore I saw at the precinct."
"And you smell like the one that I staked. Do you have a point, Sarit? Or are you here just to compare meals?" He asked her with disgust in his voice. Clearly he thought the idea of mortals for pleasure disgusting.
She turned to face him. "Unlike you, I actually care about him. Not as food, but more." She waved her hand in dismissal. "That is not why I called you here. I called you here to ask you to stop. Leave the lessers to their own fight and stay out of it."
Drake laughed. "Why should I do that? They asked for my help, so I helped them."
"I am willing to trade myself for the lives of my friends. Leave them all alone, and I will give myself to you and yours." She didn't look at him, but looked out to the city below, thinking she might be able to save some people before Drake found a way to kill her.
Drake mulled it over in his mind. He would get his Sarit back and tame her again. Make her his. "I will trade you. You will be mine again. The lesser can fight their battle again."
Serenity sighed, thanking the gods above that he agreed to it. "Very well."
Drake smirked. "Danica! Asher! Do what I told you!" He turned to Serenity. "You think I would believe you that easily? This is the past repeated. You would betray me again. I will not allow that to happen!"
Serenity backed up. "What are you talking about? What are you going to do?"
Danica and Asher came out with pistols in their hands. Two shots sounded and everything went black.
This was a long chapter but I got it all down like I wanted to.
Remember, all reviews welcome!
