Here's my chapter nine. It starts out pretty dull, but it spices up soon. Mystique gets to play a small trick on Pyro.
Chapter 9
Cobra nodded, "What's happened to Ravyn?"
"Ravyn Aniketos? Well, she's still with Gabriel. She goes back and forth from Bruja to Gabriel. She hasn't seen Turquoise since the Challenge. I think Turquoise is going to join up with you," Jaguar answered thoughtfully.
"How's Shayla?"
Jaguar laughed, "Shayla's still Shayla."
Cobra nodded.
"Well, I must be going. Gabriel wanted to meet with me. He's been talking about Turquoise and Daryl a lot lately. Happy hunting, Cobra," Jaguar grinned as he teleported away.
"Same here," Cobra replied to thin air as she looked up at the clock.
The clock read 6 o'clock p.m. Cobra teleported into the streets of New York.
Mystique groaned and stood up. She walked out of her room and walked through the hallway. She hurried downstairs. Magneto, Sabertooth, and Toad were sitting down.
"What time is it?" Mystique asked with a yawn as she sat down at the table.
"Seven o'clock in the morning," Sabertooth replied quietly, gripping a mug.
Mystique nodded, "Where's Cobra?"
"That's what we were wondering," Toad sighed as he leaned against his chair, looking up at the ceiling.
"Pyro is not up yet, as you can see," Magneto announced.
"I'll go wake him up, then," Mystique smiled as she stood and hurried up the stair and into the hallway.
She banged on Pyro's door.
"Go away!" Pyro replied.
Mystique grinned and turned into Kitty and walked through the door. Pyro was in his bed still fully dressed. Mystique then transformed into Magneto.
"Pyro, we need to make some plans," Mystique said in Magneto's voice.
Pyro sat up abruptly.
"Sorry!" Pyro apologize quickly as he jumped out of the bed.
"Hurry up," Mystique muttered as she unlocked the door and walked out.
Pyro followed her quickly. She led him downstairs. He stopped at the sight of the real Magneto. He punched Mystique.
"You tricked me! I could have had some more hours of sleep!" Pyro whined as he tried to punch her again, but she caught his wrist in time.
Suddenly, Cobra appeared with her face flushed.
"Hello, Cobra. We've been waiting for you," Magneto smiled.
"Sorry. I was out hunting all night. I met up with a few friends. I have a few allies on our side now. We'll talk about the plan tonight," Cobra yawned as she teleport up into her room.
"Oh. I forgot. She's a vampire. They prefer to sleep during the day. Well, Pyro, seems like you're in luck," Magneto muttered.
Pyro grinned and ran up to his room. Sabertooth walked up, grumbling. Toad leapt up the stairs after him.
"So we're taking a nocturnal schedule?" Mystique asked with a sigh.
Magneto nodded as they walked up the stairs together.
"Do you think the X-men might come here?" Mystique asked before she went into her room.
Magneto shrugged and smiled as he went into his room and closed the door. Mystique frowned, but followed his example.
Cobra jumped out of her bed suddenly. She looked around, wary.
"Take it easy, Cobra. It's only me, Turquoise," Turquoise's voice came from the doorway.
Cobra looked at her, "Hi, Turquoise. What do you want?"
"Want to go out and hunt with me? I plan to meet a few famous vampires along the way," Turquoise smiled.
Cobra shrugged, "Who's the famous vampires? Not Kaleo or Kendra, is it?"
"Risika, Jager, Fala, Aubrey, Jessica, Nikolas, Kristopher, and Sarah. Nathaniel is coming along with me. I thought that I could drop by and invite you. We'll be back around one in the morning. You can leave the mutants a note if you want," Turquoise said carelessly.
Cobra nodded and pulled a pad and a pen and wrote a note quickly. She threw it into the hallway and teleported with Turquoise to Las Noches. It was noisy with the music blaring and red lights all over. Jager and Fala were sitting together, talking quietly. Fala kept on glancing at Jessica who was sitting with Aubrey. Nikolas, Kristopher, and Sarah shared a table, but Risika sat alone. Nathaniel appeared suddenly. Risika stood, understanding that everyone who was invited was there. Risika waited for the others, but they did not move. Risika's patience snapped. Her power flew out and cracked the tables. Everyone jumped to their feet. Sarah, being polite, moved forward and nodded. Nikolas and Kristopher followed her quietly. Aubrey and Jessica watched Risika silently as Fala glared at them. Jager stepped forward.
"Shall the feasting begin?" Jager asked softly.
Nathaniel nodded. The group walked out of Las Noches and hurried down the street. A group of humans appeared. They were chatting away as they ignored the vampires.
"Who?" Nathaniel asked quietly.
Cobra stepped forward.
"Hello," Cobra smiled at the humans.
They glared at her. One stepped up boldly and glared at her.
"What do you want?" the human demanded.
"Is that your girlfriend?" Cobra asked with a smirk, pointing at the girl who was hiding behind him.
The human nodded shortly.
"Good. Watch, girl. Watch carefully," Cobra whispered as she reached into the human boy's mind and twisted his thoughts to her.
Cobra pulled the boy towards her and gracefully bared his throat. The group of humans frowned. Cobra carefully pierced the throat. The humans screamed. The group of vampires fell upon the humans. As the vampires finished drinking, a shout pierced the air. They turned to see Wolverine running towards them. His claws struck Kristopher a few inches from his heart. Nikolas reacted. He threw Wolverine to the ground and took out his knife.
"Wait, Nikolas," Fala whispered as she approached.
Nikolas stopped.
"What is your name? What are you?" Fala asked excitedly.
"I'm Logan, but you better call me Wolverine. I'm a mutant, vampire," Wolverine hissed angrily, struggling under Nikolas' grip.
"Wolverine, eh? I suppose you got that name from your three claws. Only wolverines have that," Risika smiled.
"You know we're vampires. That's good. How do you know? You aren't blood-bonded. Did someone drink your blood?" Jager asked quietly.
"I know those vampires, Cobra, Turquoise, and Nathaniel," Logan replied fiercely as Sarah helped Kristopher stand.
Jessica frowned.
"Do you recognize his name from your books?" Aubrey whispered in her ear.
Jessica shrugged, thinking.
Risika looked at Cobra, Turquoise, and Nathaniel and asked sharply, "Do you know this mutant?"
"Risika, I briefly know him. I met him once, but I never talked to him," Nathaniel replied quickly and honestly.
"I met him. Never really talked to him. I wasn't a vampire then," Turquoise laughed.
Cobra sighed, "I met him. He fancied me before I was changed. He killed me, but luckily Jaguar was there. Lately, he's been very angry with me, even though I rarely meet him."
"Should we let him go?" Jager asked quietly.
"NO! I demand a blood claim for my brother," Nikolas exclaimed loudly.
Sarah sighed.
"Cobra, just to give you a boost in your decision on joining with us instead of the Brotherhood, we have Adianna Vida and Dominique Vida, two witches, and a Triste named Alexander on our side," Wolverine hissed.
