Blood Relations- chapter two- The Dead Messenger

Kim and Ron were already on a plane to East coast to find Tara. The name left a bad taste in both their mouths. They had totally forgotten her and never wanted to see her betraying face again, but somehow she had escaped from Vlad Tower. The two heroes were already dressed in their mission clothes which haven't changed since high school.

"Are you ready for this Kim?" asked Ron looking at her with concern.

"I've never been so ready," was her response as they were directly over the prison.

Everyone knew Kim was married, but her maiden name was still used while on missions so she wasn't surprised when the pilot called, "Miss Possible Vlad Tower is directly below us"

"Thanks Ernie and say hello to the wife and kids for me," as she and Ron jumped from the airplane. The wind blew across her face as the ground came up rapidly. She deployed her chute and landed in the open yard of the prison.

Ron was right behind her and he landed with thesame clumsiness as he had many times. He never changed his attitude, or at least not until he looked around. All over the ground were bodies of the guards. By what Kim could see Tara had killed at least thirty here alone, but there was no sign of her. Ron bent down and inspected one of the corpses and discovered something.

"Kim, this guard doesn't have any claw marks on him and he isn't as mauled up as a werewolf victim would be."

"Does that mean that there's more than one escaped prisoner?"

"Or she hasn't turned into her wolf form yet," Ron concluded.

"But why wouldn't she use her full power? Is she that cocky or is she simply too weak to transform?"

Suddenly two guards came running up to them. They were frantic and scared, both of them had their pistols drawn and had them at the ready.

"Oh! Team Possible! We're so glad to see you. You have to help us that girl's out of control."

"Calm down officers, first give us your names and tell us what happened," Ron said motioning them to holster their guns.

"My name's Sergeant Bentley and this is my buddy officer Allison. We were on the nightly patrol, making sure the prisoners were asleep when we saw Tara lying on the ground in a pool of blood. It looked like she had killed herself so we ran in to see if she was still breathing, but then she suddenly jumped up and ran out of the cell. We opened fire on her and she still ran so we called for reinforcements. We heard gunfire and screaming coming from the cafeteria and when we got there every officer, including the warden was dead. We lost sight of the prisoner, but by the looks of it we're the only people left."

"What about the other prisoners?" questioned Kim.

"They're all alright, but they've apparently seen her because they're all begging us to protect them. She scared the pants off of them."

"Okay can you stay with us and guide us? I promise that we'll protect you," Kim assured them.

They agreed and began the slow and careful walk back into the prison complex.

"Wade, I need you to scan for Tara's movements and see if you can spot her."

"Gotcha Kim," he replied as he furiously typed away at his keyboard before answering, "Okay she's in cell block five."

"Thanks Wade you rock," she said as the two officers led them to the entrance. More dead guards were hunched against the wall and they could barely make out the lining of Tara. Her appearence was frightining; she had blood all over her. Kim and Ron could make out several bullet holes all over her body, including her head. They could also see where she apparently slit her wrists. She was hunched over looking directly at them from about fifty feet away. Her eyes were cold and her face gave no emotion or life to it, but them she began to speak in an eerie tone that made Kim and Ron shiver.

"The time has come. Soon she will return to exact her vengeance on the world. LONG LIVE EMPRESS KATRINA!" With that Tara charged headlong towards the group. The two officers fired at her, but she kept on running despite being rattled with bullets. She shoulder tackled the two guards down and threw Ron into the nearby wall. She then focused her attention on Kim as she kicked her straight in the gut. Kim fell to her knees and gasped for air as she looked up to see Tara picking her up by the throat.

Kim's feet were just inches off the ground as she kicked her feet trying to break free, but Tara's grip was too strong and she was losing air fast. Then from behind Ron appeared with a fist to Tara's side, which made her let go. She then turned on Ron as she scooped him up and pinned him to the wall. Ron punched at her face over and over, but she didn't let go, until Kim grabbed her head and snapped her neck. Tara's body fell to a heap on the floor as Ron and Kim took a deep breath.

They checked on the two guards who were relatively unharmed. Kim heard a sound and turned around to see Tara standing up! Her head was leaning to one side and she was continuing her rants.

"THE EMPRESS WILL PREVAIL!" as she charged at them again only to have her head chopped off by Ron. Her body once again collapsed and didn't move. As Ron put the Lotus Blade back into his belt the couple stared in disbelief as the severed head continued to talk and chant, "LONG LIVE KATRINA! LONG LIVE KATRINA!"

Ron brandished his sword once more to silence the head for good. With that done Kim called Wade for help. In minutes vampire forces arrive with William Yorkshire leading them.

"William!" both of them said as he smiled at them and shook their hands.

"Well, I see that we've had quite a fiasco tonight. To think that one person could do all this," he gazed at Tara's decapitated body and grimaced, "Not a pretty sight."

Kim called Wade and asked him to scan the body for mind control chips or anything out of the ordinary. In a few minutes he called back with the results.

"Uh Kim? I don't think you're going to believe this, but according to the data she's been dead for at least five hours. All of her vital organs were hit by bullets and she has four in her head. By all medical standpoints she should be dead.

Ron and Kim stood in shock. Had they been fighting a dead woman? To further find out they went to the cell where this all began.

The small room was very cold and Ron noticed markings on the floor under the dried blood. Kim noticed a brick was loose on one of the walls and pried it open to find an old book inside.

"What do you think these markings are for?" asked Ron

"Maybe this will clear things up," replied Kim as she showed him the book.

"Where did you get this?"

"It was in the wall over there. Some of the symbols are on the cover."

"How did she get this book?"

"Tara was only given one privilege and that was reading. She probably got this from the prison's library," answered Bentley.

Kim opened the fragile papers and noticed some thing interesting. Tara kept mentioning Katrina and in the book was a passage with her name in it. It read: When she lost to the vampire armies her life was over, but before she was executed her second in command proclaimed that she would return and finish what she had started. Then both of them were hanged, breaking the werewolves into separate packs and then they scattered all over never to reunite until the Empress returned. In order for it to start a descendent of her second in command, named Aria, must sacrifice herself and then the message would be delivered. The empress would return through one of her own and wreak havoc on earth. She would then rule for over a thousand years.

Ron and Kim looked at the portrait of Aria and were amazed to see that it looked just like Tara! But when they gazed at Katrina's picture they received the shock of their lives.

"Kim! It's you!"

Indeed the face of the Empress was that of Kim. She looked at herself and did the only thing anyone would do; she fainted. Cont…
