Chapter 7:

Catsy rolled over in bed and released a moan of pain. Richard had come back the night before and was in a very "happy" mood. Catsy got out of bed and slowly walked to the bathroom. The pain between her legs was throbbing and she really had no one to blame but herself for that. She may have hated Richard and never wanted to see him again but sex was something she couldn't get away from. She didn't think anyone would be as good as Richard. They had gone at it for most of the night until she finally begged to stop at dawn.

When she walked into the bathroom she gave a snort of disgust at her reflection in the mirror. Her hair was everywhere, her neck and chest had small love bites and she had twin bruises on her hips where Richard had held as he pistoned into her.

Catsy got into the shower and turned the water on, hot. She scrubbed herself clean and let her mind wander. What was she going to do? Could she live with herself if she knew that she did nothing to help Serena? She didn't even really know her and besides what could she do?

'You should call Raye, is what you should do!'

She should call Raye but what would she say? What if Richard found out? He was gone now but he planned on coming back in the late afternoon. Catsy turned the water off and grabbed a towel as she got out of the shower. She quickly dried herself off and walked out into her bedroom.

Richard was doing to her what David would probably do to Serena, only worse. She couldn't stand it but at least she could tolerate Richard on some levels, Serena didn't care for David at all. Catsy pulled a sweater over her head and pulled on some sweat pants. She slowly walked out to her kitchen, wincing in pain. 'That bastard is so rough! How does he expect me to walk!'

Catsy released a sigh when she reached her fridge and pulled out a water. Richard didn't give a damn about her but she was still attracted to him. She walked to her couch and lay on her back. She placed the water bottle between her legs and contemplated her options. She should call Raye and tell her about David but what would she say? She should also move far away from Richard, but where would she go? She could stay with Birdy or Avery, but Richard might still find her. It was worth a try! Catsy jumped up on the couch and winced in pain as she grabbed her phone. She replaced the cold water bottle between her legs and dialed Raye's number.

"Hello?"

Catsy twisted the cord around her fingers and took a calming breath. "Hi Raye, its Catsy."

"Ohh, hi Catsy. What can I do for you?"

"Um, well…look Raye; I have something to tell you that Darien needs to know."

Raye sat down in her bedroom and braced herself. "What is it Catsy?"

A lone tear escaped Catsy's eye and she looked down at her hands. "Raye, I'm sure you know that I was still seeing Richard but I just didn't want you to be upset with me! I don't know what it was about him that I couldn't get enough of but now he is controlling me and I can't get out of it unless I move out or something but I still think he will find me!"

"Catsy, I knew you were still with Richard, but you should have known better. Look, if you really need somewhere to go, you can come and stay with me and Darien at the mansion until you figure out what you're going to do."

More tears streamed down Catsy's face. "Thank you Raye but you may retract that offer after you hear what I have to say. I'll admit that I was trying to find some information on Serena because David is looking for but I didn't tell Richard anything! I really got to thinking after I had lunch with you and I tried to break it off with Richard but he threatened me and made it clear that he wasn't going to let me break it off."

"I know that part already Catsy! What is this business with Serena and David?"

"Well….he found her. Richard told me yesterday after I spoke with you and David is going out to get her or something. I don't know where he went or if he has Serena but you have to tell Darien! Something bad could happen to her!"

"Of fucking course something bad is GOING to happen to her! What were you thinking Catsy! Serena has done nothing to you or Richard and now she is going to be taken against her will? Shit…." Raye sat for a moment to think of her next move. She had to tell Darien and soon.

Catsy was openly crying now and had never felt worse. What kind of person was she? She would never forgive herself if Serena was hurt! "Raye I'm so sorry! If there is anything I can do, I'll do it!"

"Oh relax Catsy, geez, let me think for a second!"

A thought popped in Catsy's mind and she jumped up from the couch. "Raye! Maybe I could coerce Richard into telling me where David went. I mean he blurts out anything during sex!"

"Okay, for one thing Catsy, I didn't want to know that. And second, why don't you meet me at Darien's law firm and we will tell him together, he'll know what to do but I suggest you come prepared, he can be pretty scary when he's angry."

"No problem Raye! I'll be there in 30 minutes!"

"Okay Cat's see you then."

Raye hung up the phone and placed her hand on her stomach. A ball of fear was starting to form and she was starting to wish she hadn't invited Catsy. She had no idea how Darien would react. She walked to her closet and pulled out a pair of jeans and sweater. She grabbed her purse on her way out of her bedroom and dashed out of the house to her car. She hoped that Darien was in a good mood today.

XoXoXoXo

Darien quickly signed his name and placed the document aside. He turned his chair around and looked out the window to the city below. He didn't know what was on his mind but it felt heavy. He closed his eyes and leaned back in his chair. An image flew through his mind but it was blurry and he couldn't recognize it. Darien felt a warm caress on his face and he let out a long sigh. Serena danced behind his eyes and he reached out to grab her. He needed her so bad it was unbearable. He tried to not think of her but it was almost impossible. She smiled at him and extended her hand.

A knock at the door tore Darien from his dream. He shot up in his chair and felt the warmth float away from him. A growl of anger escaped him as he turned towards the door and the intruder behind it.

"Who is it!"

Raye cursed under her breath at the harsh tone from her brother but opened the door anyway. She motioned for Catsy to wait and walked in and shut the door behind her. "Hi Darien! How are you doing today?"

Darien turned his chair around and sat. He gave Raye a cold glare that made her visibly shrink back. "I'm busy, what do you want?"

Raye steeled her spine and walked to Darien's desk. She sat down in one of the chairs facing the desk and eyed her brother warily. "Darien I have something to tell you."

Darien looked up at his sister and gave her a chilly smile. "You seem to be full of information these days. What is it now?"

"Darien…I think Serena is in danger." Raye didn't dare look in her brother's eyes and looked down at her shaking hands. She could feel his eyes on her and the pull to look into them. She could feel a cold hatred flow from him and looked at his face. A shiver raked her body and she sat back in her chair.

"Why makes you think she is in trouble? Have you spoken to her?"

"No, I don't know where she is. Look Darien, Catsy called me this morning and told me some upsetting information. She's actually outside right now but I wanted to tell you first before you talked to her."

"Don't beat around the fucking bush Raye, I don't have the time or patience. What did she tell you!"

"Well, she told me that Richard had been looking for Serena for David. He is infatuated with her and he has been looking for her ever since she escaped him. Serena has never come back to New York because she didn't want him to find her but she did. David saw the news and saw the picture of Serena and started to search harder for her. Catsy told me that last night, he….um..."

Darien's manicured nails were digging into the palm of his hand. He should have just had David and Richard murdered once he found about what they did to Serena. "What did he do?"

The calmness of Darien's voice made Raye look back at his face again. She could see the anger but a flicker of something else flashed quickly in his eyes. "He found her Darien. I don't know where and neither does Catsy. She said she would try to get Richard to tell her but they aren't really on the best of terms right now. Darien, I can't even fathom the amount of anger that you have right now but what do you want to do?"

Darien stood up and paced behind his desk. 'That motherfucking bastard!' Darien had no idea what to do. Killing Richard and David was on the top of his to-do list but he couldn't do that until he had Serena back. She had been gone long enough anyway! "Bring in Catsy."

Raye walked to the door and motioned for Catsy to enter. They both walked to the front of Darien's desk and sat down.

Catsy had never been in Darien's office but now wasn't exactly the right time to look around. The look on his face wasn't very welcoming either. God he could be scary.

Darien eyed Catsy and took in her appearance. She was obviously scared and he would work that to his advantage. "Catsy, I'm not going to pretend I know or give a damn about you but with the present circumstances, I am going to need you do something for me."

"Jesus Darien, don't be such a prick! Catsy said she would help out!" Raye crossed her arms and gave her brother the meanest glare she could muster. It fell short but she cheered herself for standing up to him.

"It's okay Raye. Darien, I won't be able to forgive myself if something happens to Serena so I will do whatever I can to help her."

Darien drummed his fingers on his desk and kept his eyes on Catsy. "Where is Richard now?"

"I have no idea; he doesn't tell me where he goes during the day. But I usually see him in the evenings."

"Call him and tell him you want to see him right now. I can't wait until the evening."

"Okay but I don't know if he will meet with me. Where should I meet him? At my apartment?"

"Your apartment is fine. I want you to do anything you can to find out where David is! Anything!" Me and Raye will be close by, when he tells you, inject him with this." Darien pulled out a vial from his desk drawer and slid it across his desk to Catsy.

Catsy gingerly picked up the vial and gave it a quizzical look. She was all for hurting Richard but she wasn't sure she wanted him dead yet. "What does it do?"

"He'll be paralyzed for about 10 minutes so I would suggest that you leave immediately after giving it to him."

Catsy placed the vile in her purse and stood up. There was a small bit of fear clawing at her stomach but she pushed it aside. She was going to do it. "I'll call him right now."

Raye stood up and placed a hand on Catsy's shoulder. "I'll be close by, be careful Cats."

Catsy gave her friend a smile and left the office.

Darien looked at the closed door that Catsy just walked out of. He stood and grabbed his coat. "Follow her Raye. I will meet you shortly."

Raye quickly turned and grabbed her purse. "Where are you going?"

"I have to get the jet ready and make some calls. I'll be back in 10."

Both Darien and Raye walked out of his office together and separated outside the building. Raye walked towards her car and was fished in her purse for her keys.

Catsy looked on as Raye stopped and dug deeper in her purse. She let out a soft squeal but Raye didn't hear her. The hand covering her mouth tightened and she was pulled deeper into the dark alley. She tried to make another sound to alert her friend but a hand covered her throat and made any ability to make sound impossible. Tears streamed down her cheeks.

Richard pushed Catsy against the hard brick wall and stepped so close that their noses touched. He slid his hand down her curves and laughed at her growl of anger. Richard looked at the tears that slid down Catsy's face and slowly brought his tongue to her cheek to catch them. He moved to her ear and gave it a light nip. "I love the taste of your tears. But you've been a bad girl. I think we should move this conversation to a quieter place. Let's go." Richard roughly pulled Catsy deeper into the dark alley.

Catsy turned back to catch a glimpse of Raye but she was gone. What the hell was she going to do now?

XoXoXoXoXoXo

Serena flitted in and out of consciousness. She had no idea where she was or how long she had been gone. Here eyes felt like fire whenever she tried to open them and she released a moan of frustration when she tried to see her surroundings. She fell back asleep and tried to have some good dreams. It didn't work. She couldn't fall asleep because all she could think about was the first time she was taken by David and what had happened.

Flashback:

"What the hell do you want with me David? You know I'm never going to stay and marry you!"

David chuckled at the beautiful girl lying on the bed next to him. He slowly brought his hand to her hair and gave it a loving stroke. She tried to move away but her bound hands and legs gave her little ability to move anywhere. "Relax Angel, I'll never hurt you."

Serena turned her face to David and gave him a look of pure death. "What the fuck are you doing to me now? I've been tied up for two months and you won't let me leave! I don't even know you David! Just let me go if you care about me as much as you say you do."

David leaned down and placed a soft kiss to Serena's resistant lips. Once he pulled back she spit right in his face. David pulled out a handkerchief from his pocket and wiped his face. As quick as a flash he grabbed Serena roughly by her chin so that she was forced to look into his eyes. "You belong to me and I'm not letting you go. The quicker you realize that, the quicker I untie you. I would suggest you not make me angry again." He released her chin and got up from the bed. His eyes took on a deep violet color as he glared down at her defiant face. He turned and left the room without another word.

Serena looked at the ceiling of the bedroom and felt tears well up in her eyes. She closed her eyes tight and tried to think of her parents. All she could see was darkness. She opened her eyes and looked around the room. Everything was where it was for the past two months. "I need to get the hell out of here!"

Serena turned her head to the side where David had been sitting. A shiny object caught her attention and she lifted her head as far as it could go to get a better look. One of David's jacket pins had fallen onto the bed, probably when he took out his handkerchief. Serena almost squealed with delight at seeing the sharp tip. The problem that lay ahead was getting the pin……

End Flashback.

Serena willed her eyes to open and blinked several times to get the stinging away. The room was exactly the same as when she had left it. White walls, white furniture, white canopy bed with white bed sheets. She looked down at her clothes and saw that she was wearing a white, almost transparent teddy.

"Fucking great! Back at fucking square one!" Serena pulled hard on the restraints on her arms and legs. She arched her body and pulled, tried to turn from side to side and bent her knees but nothing worked. "Okay, maybe this is just a fucked up dream I'm having and none of this is real. Let me just close my eyes and I'll just wake up!"

"Sorry beautiful, this is all real."

Serena's eyes popped open and she looked frantically around the room. David was sitting in the corner of the bedroom in complete darkness. "David! How did you find me!"

"I have my ways but I think that is the least of our worries right now."

"You know what, your right. Cut me loose goddamnit or I'll make you wish you had never been born!"

David rose and walked over to the foot of the bed. He placed a knee on the bed and glided his hand up the smooth skin of Serena's leg. He placed a kiss on the top of her knee and chuckled as she tried to move her leg away from his roaming touch. He got onto the bed and kneeled in-between her thighs.

Serena tried to move away from David but to no avail. He had never gone past the line of touching her too intimately but the look in this eye said he was sick of waiting. "David, please…."

"Shh, don't speak." David leaned forward and slid his hand up the soft fabric of the teddy. He gave Serena's breast a soft squeeze and traced his finger along her collar bone. She was made for his touch; he couldn't believe he had made it this long without her. He placed a soft kiss to her chin and moved down to her neck. He inhaled deeply and quickly pulled back as if burned. He looked at the crystal tears that were streaming down Serena's face and moved farther away from her. "You mated with that pathetic excuse for a man! His scent is all over you!" David turned away from the bed in anger. What was he going to do now? She was mated to the damn Vampire King!

Serena couldn't stop crying. For the first time since she had left him she tried to contact Darien.

David turned back to the bed and stalked up to the side. He brought his hand to Serena's face and delivered a hard smack to her cheek. He held her face to the side and leaned down to her ear. "Don't ever try to contact that bastard again while you are under my roof."

Serena smiled as David removed his hand from her face. "Do you think for a second that Darien won't come for me? I don't need to try to contact him; he'll find me on his own." Serena's smile faded as she heard David laugh. 'What's so damn funny!'

"Oh Serena. Did you really think I was going to let him live?" With that said, David turned and walked out of the bedroom. 'Now, how to dispose of him…'

Serena tried again to get her hands or a leg free but failed miserably again. "FUCK!" This wasn't funny anymore, but then again it wasn't funny to begin with. 'What was the point of being a vampire if you can't break out of wimpy rope! I must not have been dead long enough, how convenient!' Serena tried again to contact Darien but couldn't get a read of him. "Christ almighty Darien, the time I want to talk to you, you're fucking busy!"

"I'm just now answering you. I don't have to remind you that if you had just stayed with me, you wouldn't be in this situation. Remind to punish you later."

It was Darien! He could hear her! 'Darien! Come get me, PLEASE! I have to get out of here!'

"Why didn't I think of that Serena? Maybe I should just leave you there for leaving me." Darien chuckled to himself at the colorful words running through his mind from his mate. "I'll get there, relax."

Serena couldn't relax. She was tied up, in a white teddy and being held by a man who was obsessed with her. She definitely had luck, bad luck.

Darien flipped open his cell phone and called Raye. "What did Catsy find out?"

Raye twirled her finger through a lock of hair and took a calming breath. "I went by her apartment but she wasn't there. She wasn't outside your office either. Her car is there though. I think something happened to her."

"Damnit! Who else knew about Serena and David?"

"Um, Maybe Sean but I don't know if he is back at work yet. Want me to call him?"

"No, I'll handle it." Without another word, Darien hung up his phone. He was starting to get angry and time was slipping away. He opened his phone again and dialed Jeremiah's number at the bank.

"Jeremiah DeWinter, how can I help you?"

"Jeremiah, its Darien."

"Darien, what can I do for you?"

"I'm looking for David, do you know where he is?"

"I have no idea; word around here is that he left for a vacation about two days ago."

"I need to find him, where is Sean?"

"Um, I think today is his first day back, you want me to transfer you?"

"No, I'm outside. Meet me in the lobby."

"But Darie……" Jeremiah, hung up the phone and grabbed his coat. 'This can only mean trouble if Darien was here.'

Jeremiah and Darien walked to Sean's office and went right in. His back was turned from the door and he was on the phone. Darien slammed the door and crossed to the front of Sean desk.

Sean turned his chair around at the loud slam of his door. Before him stood the Vampire King and Jeremiah. "Um, Ave I gotta go." Sean hung up the phone and cleared his throat. "What can I do for you Darien?"

"Where's David?"

Sean leaned back and placed his hands on his stomach. "Your guess is as good as mine. I don't speak to my brother anymore."

"Sean, I don't have much time and I have even less patience. Where do you think he would go?"

Sean didn't answer at first but eyed Darien warily. "Okay, I heard he went to Chicago for maybe a day but after that I'm not sure."

"Where did he go when he kidnapped Serena?"

"What! David has Serena? Why didn't you tell me Darien!" Jeremiah walked closer to his boss and tried to meet his eye.

"I asked you a question Sean."

Sean looked into the dark abyss of Darien's eyes and almost felt that there was a hell. He leaned forward and took out his address book. He scribbled down an address and passed it to Darien. "The last time he took her, he used the winter mansion we have in Colorado. I don't use it anymore but he does. He's probably there. Darien, I'm sorry."

Darien grabbed the slip of paper from Sean's hand and walked out of his office with Jeremiah close behind.

"Darien, hey Darien, what are you going to do? Are you going to Colorado? You want me to come with and help? Darien!"

Darien turned to Jeremiah and gave him a cold glare. "Stay here and watch Raye. If I call you be ready to get on a plane."

"Okay. Good luck Darien."

XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXo

"One, two, three pull!" Serena pulled with all her might and felt the rope give a little. "Victory is mine I tell you!"

Serena made two more hard attempts at loosening the rope of her right arm and finally got close enough that she could bite the rope. "About time this fangs came in handy!" She bit threw the rope and got her right arm free. She wasted no time and moved to her left arm and got it free as well. Once completely free Serena tip toed off the bed and over to the closet. There were two parallel rows of clothes, all in white. Serena grabbed a pair of white cargo pants and a white tee shirt. She pulled the clothes on and moved to the window. She slowly slid it open and looked out.

There were no trees to jump onto and nothing below her to step to and it was freezing cold out! It was a straight drop of about 10 feet to the bottom. "Why am I plagued with only bad luck!" Serena turned back to the bedroom and looked around for something to make a rope out of. She grabbed for the bed sheets and stopped herself. "Why the hell am I grabbing the sheets when I'm sure I can just jump down no problem? I mean I am immortal."

Serena walked back to the window and put her left leg out. She put her right leg out and sat on the sill. She didn't know what David was doing but he wasn't harassing and grabbing at her so she didn't care. Holding her breath and closing her eyes she jumped and landing softly on the ground. She slowly opened her eyes and fell to her knees kissing the ground.

"Beautiful earth, I thank you for the soft landing. I will repay you a thousand fold for not breaking my bones by becoming a tree hugger!" Serena quickly jumped up and made a mad dash across the large estate. She ducked behind a tree and looked back at the house. "All right, now what the hell do I do when I don't even know where I'm going?"

Serena scanned the field and faintly saw the perimeter fence. She looked up at the sky and shielded her eyes against the bright sunlight. She wouldn't be able to stay out in the sun for too long since she needed to feed and David took her blood supply. A shiver raked her body and she crossed her arms. She wouldn't be able to stay out in the cold forever either. With her fingers crossed she sprinted to the fence and started to climb up.

XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXo

Darien parked his car outside the large Colorado estate. He got out of the car and buttoned up his long, black coat. He scanned the estate looking for any guards or nuisances who could get in his way and saw none. 'Not very protected, are we?' He walked to the large, wrought iron gate and gracefully jumped over to the other side. With his hands in his pockets he made his way to the front of the mansion.

David looked out at the tall, dark figure that strolled up his walk way. He opened the door before Darien could knock and gave him a large smile. "What bring the Vampire King to my humble mansion?"

Darien wasn't the least bit amused as he briskly walked past David. Without another word, Darien walked right up to the second level. He closed his eyes and ran his hand along the hallway doors. He stopped at the last door and walked in. The room was all white, just as he had seen it but the bed was empty. The window was open with the cold breeze coming in. Darien turned to David who was leaning against the wall in the hallway.

"Where is she?"

David gave a careless shrug and turned to walk back down the hallway. "Your guess is as good as mine, she left this morning."

Darien's patience, which was already on low, left him. He rushed David and knocked him to the ground. He gave David no time to recover as he hauled him up by his shirt and threw him against the wall. He grabbed David by the throat and squeezed. "Where is she?"

David tried to regain his composure but the pressure against his wind pipe wasn't helping. He made the mistake of looking into the onyx eyes of the man in front of him. He tried to look away but he was captivated by their beauty. "I don't know she escaped this morning…."

Darien pulled David away from the wall and walked to the stairs. Without hesitation he threw David down the stairs in disgust.

David landed in a heap at the bottom of the stairs. His shoulder felt dislocated but he didn't care. He never backed down from a fight. He stood up and looked up at Darien who was staring back down at him. David removed his coat and with a shrug of his shoulder, popped it back into place. He neatly folded his coat and placed it on the banister. "You know Darien, I don't know if killing me is such a good idea."

Darien made his slow decent down the stairs and released a small chuckle at David's words. "I was planning on slow torture but death is good for me as well."

David's eyes turned a dark purple as he started to change. "If you kill me the entire lichen race will come after you. I don't think you want a war now do you?"

Darien watched as David changed before him but right before the change was complete, Darien pulled back his fist and punched it into David's chest. A smiled spread across his face as he grabbed hold of David's heart and squeezed it in his fist.

David slowly turned back to his human form with Darien's fist still in his chest. Pain couldn't even come close to what he was feeling, he was just numb. "You….shiesty…..bastard….."

Darien pulled David's heart from his chest and dropped it to the floor. David fell to his knees and crumbled to the floor. His eyes were glazed over and there was still a shocked expression on his face. With a snort of disgust, Darien left David's body and searched the house for Serena. He didn't find any sign of her but her bag. He carried it back to the front of the house, stepping over David's body, and walked out to his car.

XoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXoXo

Serena walked into town and found some shade to sit in. She needed not only blood, but money and clothes. She was freezing! People walked briskly past her without a single look. She needed to feed first; the hunger was starting to hurt. She got off the bench and started to walk down the sidewalk when she was hit to the ground. "What the fuck! Watch where you're going!"

"Honey, why don't you watch where you're going! You almost scraped my Jimmy Choo's!"

Serena looked angrily at the retreating form of the blond who bumped into her. 'Good enough!' She hopped up and followed the girl with about 10 carrier bags. The girl turned into a parking garage and stopped behind a cherry red mustang. Serena looked around the garage and thanked the gods that no one was around. She stealthy walked up to the girl and placed her hand over her mouth. The girl began to struggle but Serena was stronger. She wasted no time and pushed the girl's head to the side and sunk her teeth into her soft neck.

The girl continued to struggle but slowly stopped and dropped to her knees. Serena was in heaven. The girl's blood was so sweet that she didn't want to release her.

Serena wiped her mouth and looked down at the girl. "I'm sure you scraped up those Jimmy Choo's now." With a laugh Serena grabbed the girl's warm coat and her purse. After taking out the money she threw the purse down and turned to leave when a hand grabbed her arm.

Fear spiked in her stomach as she slowly turned. Standing behind her in a beautiful black coat and angry look was Darien! In the flesh! She couldn't help the smile that spread across her face. "Oh my god Darien! When did you get here?"

"A couple hours ago. Hungry?" Darien nodded his head at the girl folded on the garage floor.

Serena's face turned bright pink and she looked down at her hands as if chastised. "Well David took my bag and I needed to eat." She looked back up at Darien and wrapped her arms around his broad shoulders as best she could. Standing on her toes she placed a soft kiss to his cheek and gave him a winning smile. "I missed you."

Darien couldn't deny her any longer and wrapped his arms around her tiny waist. He nuzzled her neck and inhaled her scent deeply. She was made for him. He scrapped his teeth along her throat and licked her collar. "Let's go. We can't stay here any longer." Darien grabbed her hand and walked her to his car.

"What's the problem Darien? Have you seen David?"

"He's dead."

"Dead! Did you kill him Darien?"

"What do you think?" Darien started the car and pulled out of the garage.

Serena chewed on this bit of information and game up with all negatives. "Darien, do you know how powerful David is? This could start a war!"

Darien looked at Serena with a passive look. "It was bound to happen eventually." Without further comment, Darien turned on the radio and drove to the airport.

Richard picked up the phone and dialed Frederick's number.

"Frederick, what do you want?"

"Frederick, its Richard. We have a problem."

"What is it Richard, I'm busy."

"David has been killed, by a vampire."

"What! Who the fuck was stupid enough to do that?"

Richard smiled and almost jumped at his luck. Darien was going to get his. "It was none other then Darien Shields who murdered David."

"Darien? You must be mistaken, he knows the rules."

"No mistake, a messenger saw Darien leave David's mansion in Colorado. David's heart was ripped out."

"Fuck! Why the fuck would Darien do this?" Frederick ran his fingers threw his hair and slammed his fist against his desk. This was going to be ugly.

"When is the next conference with you two?"

"In three weeks. I need to think about this, don't do anything until I saw so Richard!"

"Okay." Richard hung up the phone with a cheshire grin on his face. Darien was definitely going to get his in the end.
