LoveInTheBattleField: here it is.
OrientalDanceGirl: betrayal isn't really his style…or is it…and all I will say is things are changing with her in another 'sense' all together.
Guest (1): yup, thanks. He's debating on the timing of everything considering everything that's been going on. if everyone wants a sequel I will definitely be introducing elements of that into it. And yes my new man and I are. Just had our 5th date and he stayed over again. even showered together this time, it was very sweet and sensual. We even stayed up pretty late to as he didn't get up before my alarm this time, it woke us both up. lol I even made lasagna for the first time for him to show off my culinary skills to him. I do feel like I'm in a great relationship and I definitely want it to go deeper and become more meaningful…besides I still have plans if delicious things to do to him as he's been doing and explorative with me. in fact I may even have ideas already for the next drabble. Till next week. 😊 😊 😊

A vampires forbidden love: the lies that bind us ch.13
Usagi POV
I was swept up in the currents of them as there were just so damned many. Flashes of life events that were impossible to sort through so fast. Not one image stayed with me for more than a few seconds. I saw so much chaos, so much blood…then I saw the happiness and love he felt for his mate and children…I saw more than feeling anything. The emotions coming to me through the images presented.
I opened my eyes again to try and gain some sort of semblance as I took another gulp of blood and saw things that shocked me enough to stop drinking. Blood still stained my lips as I removed my mouth as he retracted his hand and let it heal naturally. I knew my eyes were still light up as I looked at him, "Let yourself feel it." he urged as I stood up and away from him. My body feeling like it was getting high.
Or at least what I assumed that feeling was like. I now felt a new sense of new power taking over me. I knew he saw it as I stood up. My breathing deepened as I felt it flow through me. It was like a drug slowly working its way through my body. I felt and saw it as my skin seemed to light up which also made me wonder if that was normal. "The younger the vampire the more of an effect is has to visually see." He stated making me feel calmer than I realized I was. Perhaps I was more of an open book than I thought I was right now.
It touched up on every nerve ending I had and still sent more flashes through my head like it wasn't done coursing in through me. So many memories filtering in through them. It was enough to give me a massive headache that was between leaving me completely so that I could look at my surroundings and shutting my eyes again at its returning full blast which was not fun. I was thankful that I had good balance as a vampire because this was heavy.
Once the daze began to wear off a bit I licked my lips of the blood a little bit still feeling them heavy with the residue on there. "You will get used to the overwhelming feeling soon enough." Chikao stated as I licked my lips of the rest of the blood on my lips. Stunned by what I was feeling inside. "This felt way different than when Damon turned me. It was new, a bit exciting and a bit daunting to.
"Now you will not equal him in strength as he's had pure blood coursing through his veins for several millennium and is used to how it makes him feel when it comes to fighting but you will fair far better with him in battle with this now. I know you have Damon's blood in you, I can still smell it. But that alone will not be enough for his brother." He stated which made me ask, "Could Emon have smelled Damon's blood in me?" to which he responded, "If he was able to his hatred for you masked it." good to know…I thought sarcastically.
"Either that or he's been away for far too long to recognize it." I nodded my acceptance of either as possible. "Usagi…Emon is very powerful…in fact what he's seen in here, he's become even stronger in the sense that he knows your strengths and weaknesses. After all, have you ever kill a vampire that knew how well you trained? That knew your methods? Knew your skill level as he now does?" I had to admit only one.
"Damon." I voiced, "My child, Damon at the end of the day only fell to your feet because as much as he hated you for loving Mamoru, as much as he hated you for taking over his coven despite what happened in between, and as much as he hated you for being better he still held love for you. That humanity in him, the very humanity that Emon rejected is why." I looked to Chikao at his words. "While I know how that must sound think of it this way." He begins.
"Damon had humanity in him that gave him an intuition that Emon doesn't have. It gave him friends and family that Emon no longer has. He just hated himself more for being unable to express it to you and accept it. Emon holds no caring feelings towards you only ever his brother. He doesn't care about who you, how you came to be, or even about those you love unless he can use it or them against you." It was starting to sound more like he was a robot in nature and held a very serious sociopathic condition.
"He doesn't feel empathy, he only feels his betrayal and his own anger. That alone will make him your greatest enemy to date." He tells me. The talk about brothers when it came up made a vision of images appear before my eyes. I had to close my eyes for but a moment as I sorted them out before opening them once more, "Wait…our elder…" that's when I looked at him and started to do a mental comparison.
The eyes…the cheek bones…how have I never noticed it before? The similarities and now the memories. My mouth opened a little bit in relative shock as he smiled, "There is much you need to know still." He commented. "So you two are…?" I began, "Half-brothers…hai." He answered, I was stunned. I didn't know of any half siblings in any of the covens. I figured it was just my lack of knowledge but perhaps there was something more to it.
"I don't understand he never mentioned any siblings." I ventured, trying to make sense of the images filtering still through my head. Less impactful as before but still going through in there, "And he won't…" I narrowed my eyes at him but not out of anger but out of confusion, "He doesn't know." I spoke more than questioned. "The gift you have been given now is something I know he wants you to have." He stated.
"Then why not give me his blood instead?" I questioned, the images giving me a headache again, "You will soon discover that the more you learn on your own." He stated cryptically instead. "I'm sorry what do you mean?" I asked bluntly. "Some secrets are meant to be kept and with good reason." He kept up the cryptic act leading me to suspect that even our elder doesn't know of the relation and must keep the knowledge that they are a secret from my elder which just made me shocked.
"But why? Wouldn't he want to know that he has a brother in you?" I knew they were close friends but this was something I hadn't conceived of yet. He merely looked at me expectantly but it was that he expected me to guess then and there it was to keep it safe and secret from my elder regardless of my own personal feelings on the matter. I had to stand down and let this proceed onward as he was essentially ordering me to do.
"When the time is right the memories will speak for themselves and when they come to you, you will come straight to me via whatever form of communication you have." He stated. I recognized that this was one of the negatives to having his blood. I had to accept that I would have to keep secrets from my own elder even if it made me feel like a form of betrayal against him. He had always been there for me yet here I was keeping him out of the loop till Chikao saw it fit for him to know the truth.
"When the time is right you will be present when he is told the truth but NOT until that time has come to pass." It wasn't just an order given by him, it was a vow he was giving me to serve to him as an added elder to confide in and as he was now technically my elder as well, being half a brother to my elder I was bound by the oath to keep this confidential till Chikao stated otherwise, so I simply nodded my head respectfully and agreed.
"As much as I'm pained that you will now bear this knowledge on your elder as I know of the bond you hold therefore I do understand the feelings of betrayal you must feel, and to keep it secret with everything else on your plate, I'm also relieved that now I no longer bear this burden alone and at least have someone to confide in." he admitted which made me state, "And I will." He smiles at me, "Like I said some secrets are not meant to be found out."
Which makes me think that perhaps there was something beyond their being half-brothers that I wasn't in the loop on that was locked away in the memories I now had inside of me. as determined as I was to figure them out I was more determined right now to prepare to do the recon work needed to get inside that coven and take care of Emon once and for all. I nodded once more and leave to let myself out when something sparks in my mind, "Does this mean I can never tell mamoru…he's my mate?" I asked.
He seemed to debate on this for a moment before calmly but effectively stating, "When you both have come together full circle you will know when the right time is to tell him BUT the truth must NEVER reach your elder until I state so." I didn't want to find out what would happen if it did so I merely agreed to the stipulation and left out of the counsel chambers to go prepare to invade Emon's coven. Thinking in the end of it…now I know the meaning of it better than before…sometimes truth is harder to absorb than light.
Mamoru POV
I looked at my phone and realized I had to relief Soren soon so he could get some last minute details done on the recon Usagi and I would have to work on. Even if it wasn't for another hour that we'd be prepping to leave. I left my work station and went back over to check on our elder and let Soren get back to work. He nodded and left as I sat down and checked our elder's vitals one last time.
"Ahh, if it isn't my resident doctor." He greeted me with jovial attitude making me smile, "I see someone's feeling better." I commented as he looked at full health again. Well as full as he was going to get for an appearance anyways. "Let's remove these bandages." I had him sit forward as I cut them all off of his form to reveal nothing more than scarring. I had to admit for a doctor's perspective this would be fascinating for me for a while to come.
"The effects of healing on you are incredible." I couldn't help but be astonished. "It's called being on this earth for longer than I care to count." He joked as I smiled and went to go get the new robes that Soren got and left down here for him to use since his other ones were being cleaned and altered by Makoto. Apparently she had a gift with a sewing machine and we didn't want to have to involve anymore vampires than needed into this.
"I'll give you some time to get cleaned up." the scent of infirmary and bed was on him from the past few days so I know he'd want to get washed up. "Mamoru." I turned around to see him pull a curtain over for a small sponge bath in the basin as the drain nearby him in the floor took up any excess water. I looked back and responded, "Hai." Feeling a bit awkward now, "Relax, I've been doing this since my first lifetime. It certainly won't be my last." He joked with me as I cleared my throat.
"Anyways…" he smiled, I just knew he was smiling at the fact that I was slightly uncomfortable with him giving himself a little bath within my vicinity and finding uncomfortableness mildly amusing. "You said you've given though to taking Usagi's hand in marriage yes?" he asked as I wondered where this was going. "Hai, I have. I still want to and I always will." I reiterate to him so that he knew how serious I was. "Perhaps then you wouldn't mind if I gave you a bit of a gift as well as a lesson." He stated as I turned around to see him dressed again.
I was stunned as he said, "Elder speed." And shrugged it off. "Hai." I responded as he then turned a serious note and stated, "You fared well against the lycan leader." He began, I nodded but before I could respond he said, "But if you want to beat him you will need as what your generation would call an 'added boost'." This I was confused by. "Nani?" I asked for clarification as I walked closer to him.
"My daughter as loving, sweet, tough, strong and smart as she is needs you in her life more than she needs air to breath. However if something were to happen to you…" he seemed somber, as if he was foreseeing something I couldn't. I wanted to make him understand that I would do anything for her. "I promise you I won't let anything happen to her and will do - " but he cut me off before I could finish.
"Son you mean well and your full of life and love for her and I do believe you will do everything in your power to protect her till your last breath but your also a misguided youth who thinks that they can beat a lycan leader in a one on one battle with your strength against his strength." I resisted the urge to argue the point when he glanced at my shoulder that had been injured and said nothing.
The proof of my last ordeal with that lycan leader was still scarred on my shoulder for the world to see…if I ever went shirtless anyways. Plus he was right that lycan leader had a lifetime's worth of experience and power over me. "I know I didn't fare well the last time but they had a plan of attack last time to." I began, "This time we know all the chess pieces that are needed for - " once more I was cut off as he spoke.
As agitated as I was I still wouldn't back talk against an elder. I knew the realms of respect and decorum around here now and I was no longer ignorant to how elders are to be treated or talked to. "You really do think you have all the answer figured out. Such youthful ignorance that I sometimes wish I still had…and here I am about to destroy it." that had me curious as he seemed almost apologetic in nature.
"Sir?" I asked, "Normally such a gift isn't bestowed on someone so young, in fact you'll be the youngest this gift has been given to ever in the history of vampires and with it will be power and wisdom beyond your years." I was so confused that I stood still and listened to his words hoping it would grant me an inkling as to what the hell he was talking about. I watched as he walked forward a few feet now in his new robes as he took the scalpel I had used earlier from the metal tray by the bed.
He walked within range of me and made a motion to cut his palm when I said, "Sir what are you doing?!" and prevented him from cutting into the flesh. "Son you need to be stronger to protect what you love the most. What I was leading you to earlier was that you need more power to fight in this upcoming battle. The power you'll gain from my blood will be enough to aid you in taking out the lycan leader and being able to be at my daughter's side for this fight." I was beyond stunned by this.
He went to make the cutting motion again when I stopped him, "Sir you need all your blood, you just recovered from sustaining two stab wounds!" I protested. I could see his own protest to me so I said, "Don't worry I can be there for Usagi without a 'boost'." As he referred to it. Yet he looked at me as if I didn't understand what he really meant and I will admit it had me curious it, "No my son you can't."
His response had me wanting to protest but he stopped me, "You're healed up for the most part but you're not at a hundred percent." True but still, "You need to be at two hundred percent to fight against an older lycan on your own." While I know he didn't mean anything negative by it and only spoke true facts I still felt like I could do this without a 'power boost'. I wasn't that unskilled or still that new.
My own inner workings wanted to do this without assistance but from the battle plans we were creating it did seem as if I would be fighting this lycan leader one on one. I honestly couldn't wait for it so I could kill him for not only what he did to me but for his actions against my mate, my Usagi. I saw the expression in his eyes though and they were not comforted by my earlier protests of taking his blood.
"Nani?" I asked, "Let me ask you something." He seemed slightly agitated, "Do you know what it was like for Usagi when she held your nearly dead body in her arms when you fell a year ago?" he asked. I remember she had explained that she was devastated and would do anything to keep that from happening again. "She gave me a rendered version of it." I stated with a lower tone to my voice as I avoided going into detail on how that conversation went. It was a bit private and not really something I wanted to get into right now.
"Well let me explain this then." Now he actually looked a tad upset at me and that wasn't an emotion I wanted directed at me. It was actually a bit startling. I imagine this is how Damon would feel whenever our elder gave him this same look of 'you must listen to me now' and you know what…I listened. I also avoided gulping in his presence so he didn't think I feared him when a tiny part of me did.
"When you fell looking so beat up and broken in her arms…" it seemed like he was remembering it clear as day. I had passed out by that point so I could only listen as he expressed another point of view that I didn't realize was so close to the sight of us. "Seeing her looking so broken over your form…the tears…it reminded me of my own lost love." damn I had forgotten about how his mate had died.
How he lost her to the very lycan we had been fighting against that day and how Usagi had gone to kill him. "How I saw her broken form after Yamamoro killed her. That it killed a part of me…it broke my heart to see her die." I didn't even try to argue, "I was a lifeless shell for what felt like years after that. My sons were all that I had left to stop me from going into a deep sleep to be with her." He recanted.
Then he looked to me with a haunted expression, "To see someone you love beyond words, beyond measure, someone you would give your life for time and time again just to spend another waking moment with them…to feel their skin again, to hear their voice in your ear again…to hold them once more and to have that part of your soul ripped away from you…" he looked pained and I felt guilty for somehow reminding him of that.
I hadn't thought about any of this. "Usagi sees that with you and I saw that same devastating look in her eyes as I know mine had when I lost my mate. Part of her felt she lost you that day and she took her vengeance cause in some part of her I believe she wanted to die to be with you and take that prick Yamamoro out with her." I had a feeling I knew where he was going with this now and I couldn't blame him.
"If she were to lose you as you are now even IF it was because you protected her, gave your life for hers, she would follow suit behind you, well after she went after Emon and killed him she would. Is THAT really the way you want the both of you to go out?" he asked me. I couldn't answer him as we had made a bit of an agreement on how we would go out. We just didn't think of how our agreement towards each other would impact those around us.
"Do you want to take that chance before you have the chance to ask for her hand?" that I hadn't thought of either and it caused worry in my heart. "You want to take that chance before you start a family together?" my heart skipped a beat in my chest as my throat suddenly felt to dry as I realized I had assumed that we could beat this same as last time but it was occurring to me that this wasn't the same.
Yamamoro was a known enemy, he was something we all knew to be and Emon had been playing us all, all along and worse yet he knew us. He knew our methods and he had been in our coven. These tiny little facts we had not ignored but had slid to the side and forgot about in our efforts to find him. AND he had an army of lycan's within him at his disposal. Perhaps our elder had a good reason after all for wanting me to have his blood.
"Do you want to let her down by assuming she'll be able to take her own life after yours?" his question brought me back to him. I hadn't considered that. She would go to finish the mission of killing Emon if something happened to me. Or take him with her… "Or perhaps you don't mind taking the chance that Emon would want to 'punish' her further after your death!" his words hit home as he stopped talking.
I hadn't even realized that I shouted 'STOP!' till he seemed calm again, "My son I'm not saying this to be mean to you. I'm not saying to make you feel as if you don't have a choice but to take my blood…or feel pitied into anything." He sighed, "It's your decision on what to do at the end of the day. I just want you to do it with all the facts before you move forward with your plans." He calmly noted to me. Thing was he had some very serious points that he made. I just hadn't thought of them.
"What if I can't handle it?" I barely voiced. Wondering how a vampire like me so young could handle such power from an older vampire like him. "You have the control needed for this already." I bite my lip in contemplation when he asked me, "Have you asked for her hand yet?" I admitted to him, "I haven't really had the chance to yet with everything that's going on." There just hasn't really been a right time.
He walks forward to me and pulls out his palm once more and says, "Then you need to know." He cuts it as I see the red blood flowing, "You need too also know the utmost strength and the pain that you can gain, that comes with a soul bond…I've been debating on this for a little while now but I do feel you must see what I've seen to know what it is you truly want and need in this world and this is the best way to find out." He assures me as I relent and accept that maybe I do need this after all.
I take his palm and after seeing the blood drip from the small wound in the strangest act to this day for me as I don't recall having drunk from another person besides Usagi before this, I begin to drink his blood. I had to pull my teeth back in from piercing his skin as the small wound didn't need to be opened further than it was. As the blood flowed into my mouth, the coppery taste sent images into my head that I hadn't experienced before.
I had seen some of Usagi's memories from before. We had some bonding moments over them as she did with my blood but this was a heady and intense experience. It over flowed and took over my head as I gulped down one mouth full of blood. The images like a barrage of flashing videos coming by too fast to see them all clearly or coherently. I grasped onto a few of them just to have something to hold onto so I could try to sort things out.
Memories of his own childhood flashed by to fast for me to grasp onto as I saw the life he held with his mate and sons. Seeing him as a loving father to two young boys allowed my heart rate to calm down just the slightest from its having begun to race beat. Seeing Damon as a young child as he trained and was carefree yet still held a sense of being a delinquent made me see him in that new light.
Then the odd dark cloud that would come over in the images as Emon came about. His energy was already dark as the night was long. I focused as much as I could on these memories to find the stability I needed to avoid pulling more blood form our elder than what was needed. I latched on to the memories as they continued to race forward pulling me further along to see how Emon tried to corrupt Damon further and how Naoyuki had this odd effect on the boy which our elder I could see now mistook for positive guidance at the time.
When in fact he was aiming to in some manner use Emon for his own personal gains. Yet he did develop a kinship with him that our elder was never able to get back as a father himself. I saw Emon grow and divide from the rest over the years as I focused on the sights and memories before me. I strained to see something in the memories that could be of help when I realized I had taken the second and last needed sip of blood from our elder.
I released him as he barely looked winded form it as I felt like I'd run a marathon. If one could physically withstand as a human to drink ten can of Redbull and NOT have a heart attack I was in the middle of that right now. I held on as I felt the massive power that came with such a dose of blood. I felt it stretch throughout my body. Diving into my nerve endings to the point of almost fraying them.
It became like a rush of power that needed to be tamed. I held on and gripped my hands into fists as I felt the rest of the images bombard me. Taking over my own much more strongly than Usagi's ever had. Then again Usagi hadn't lived as long as our elder had. I literally had a half a dozen if not more lifetime's worth of memories driven into my head. It wasn't easy. Then there was a memory I could ahold of.
It felt soothing. The memory of his mate. The sight of her so happy with him calmed the racing heart of my down and allowed me to focus better, just like Usagi could. I never saw him that happy, even with Usagi around. I knew why now. There was something about having the love of a mate that could make you feel invulnerable and on top of the world. Usagi gave me that feeling and I saw that our elder's mate did the same for him.
"She was beautiful." I expressed to him. My eyes closed as I saw the memory. "She was and always will be the love of my life. I have never loved another after her." He tells me as I watch in the memories of them together. Happy for the children to be born. It fills me up with a sense of happiness that takes the rest of the racing heart away and makes me feel calm, though with a bit of a buzz in the after effects.
Then I saw Yamamoro, different look from a year ago as he had changed his clothes somewhat, saws them both fighting him together. Then separately. Thenthe flash of battles that happened before he saw what Yamamoro had done to her. I wept. I truly did. When you hear of what someone does to someone else that is as horrific as what he did to her and their unborn child it fills you with dread.
Makes you feel horrible for the evils that exist our planet…but to see it as bare as I was seeing it…to watch it as I was made me want to throw up. I resisted the urge to dry heave as the memories came to me that he had had to witness of his own mate. How he wanted to tear Yamamoro up limb from limb but couldn't. How he had to bear the news to his two sons that their mother died in battle.
The memories even after I opened my eyes wouldn't stop. That's when I saw our elder looking at me and I realized, when I grabbed ahold of the memories I got to see them more in depth than if I had simply let them flow through. We had been talking so much about his own lose that I hadn't thought twice and grabbed onto the memories to see for myself. That's when I saw Damon and Emon's reactions.
Damon had loved his mother and I saw that. I felt for him on that one and sent a hopeful wish that wherever he was he had managed to find some sort of peace. It was the gleam of sickening happiness on Emon's face that contorted the memory. Everyone mourned but Emon didn't care and wanted to play with his brother who mourned for their mother. That evil child simply didn't hold a candle flame of caring about anyone truly than himself.
Yes he cared for Damon like a brother and even Naoyuki like a father but he lacked the emotional output to care about anyone else and it didn't even bother him. His eyes were even colder now that he'd seen him in the memories. Distant and not because he was trying to block out bad memories but because he felt no remorse of sympathy for anyone in the end. Even feeling that his brother abandon him to a degree for mourning a loved one.
I shook my head and though back to an earlier one with our elder and his mate to have something positive to focus on. The love they shared…the hope they felt…they both loved their children and couldn't fathom being with anyone else. It reminded me being with Usagi. The love and hope she made me feel and suddenly I knew without a doubt, if there had ever been any before, that it was cannon fodder now. It was nonexistent…I wanted to be with her for life. All of them, the good and the bad.
I looked at our elder as he asked me, "Do you still want to be with her for life?" I just looked at him and the fierce need I had to make her mine, protect her, love her till we both were gone was far greater than I could have thought it could be. It had only increased and couldn't be decreased in any light. "Not just for life, for all of our lifetimes together." I replied. He smiled as if I gave him the greatest gift of all, "That's all I needed to hear." That's when I realized what he meant all this time.
He hadn't wanted to scare me away from the prospect of being with Usagi as he first seemed to act but to know that this wasn't something I thought up off the top of my head and that I was as committed to her as I was committed to living a long lifetime of lives together. To have what others didn't have. Eternal peace and love that came with all the ups and down's, the good times and the bad ones.
I smiled. Not just a one lifetime marriage that most people would be lucky to get but several lifetimes worth that bound you together beyond that of the surface level and gave you something far greater to love and appreciate. I saw that now. I smiled in thanks as I felt his blood making me stronger than before. I felt able to do so much more now but also it felt there was more to control as well. He smiled, "Now you have the power to protect her for ALL of your lifetimes together…the future with her."
I agreed as I knew I wanted to spend my life with her. "There is one thing you must grant me in return." He said to me. I looked to our elder, "You can only tell Usagi about this gift. Not another soul must know that I have granted you this. I have defied tradition and in some minds eyes broken unwritten laws. This must stay silent till I say otherwise." He ordered and I nodded my acceptance of that without fault.
"Even though this was needed others might not see it that way. Limit yourself in front of others to avoid suspicion." He stated as I agreed. I didn't want any extra abilities to give myself away therefore give him away. "During your fight with the leading lycan make sure your new abilities would be found out. I know you and Usagi trust Rei, Minako and Makoto and even Soren but unless you know that beyond a shadows doubt in your heart that they can be trusted NOT a WORD." He strained.
"I wouldn't breathe a word of it nor let them get the better of me. I can control this. I hold no other choice." I didn't even want to think of the consequences of being unable to. "Now leave and be with your love. I have an appearance to make soon and I can't make it work well if my doctor is hovering." He snipped. The tone in his voice suggested sarcasm as I stated, "Wouldn't dream of it." I nodded my thanks and left off to Usagi.
Usagi POV
I got a message from Soren to come to the control room quickly. Hoping nothing bad developed I entered in as Mamoru came up. For but a moment I noticed he seemed different. More confident and less tired than before. Before I could ask what was going on Soren, oblivious to my internal noticing of my mates odd change that I couldn't figure out, said, "It seems the Lycan numbers have increased since we last saw them."
"Nani?" I near demanded, "The only thing I could configure is that as I haven't seen an satellite movement leaving out or going in and nothing has been spotted with the infrared that their getting more lycan's in through another entrance that the satellite can't pick up cause now there's at least 35 if not up to 40 lycan's inside." He explained, "Are we sure their Lycan's and not just food for them?" Mamoru asked.
I glanced to him as that was a good idea before Soren said, "I'm sure. Normally when Lycan's take a meal in they feed off of it for a few hours at least. But after a few days the vitals begin to drop and eventually die of blood lose from the wounds especially if their being feed from multiple times at different intervals. These heat signatures are showcasing that their strong and not dying out." Mamoru nodded as I asked, "So this prick is somehow sneaking them in through a tunneling system that we can see through?"
Soren turned to me, "It seems that way and it's covered with something that the satellites can't see through." I sighed before Mamoru asked, "Their near the mountain areas of Takao right?" we looked at the map as Soren said, "Hai." Mamoru snapped his fingers, "It could be…different mountains have higher levels of solid rock in them. If there's a layer of that rock that's over their tunnel or around that coven it could easily block the satellites signal. It's why you'd never get cell range out there. Signal's to busy bouncing around."
"Well I'll be damned." Soren muttered, "Nani?" I asked, "He's right. The coven is within proximity range to have a spread of the rock beneath them. He must have dug through it when re-vamped the coven…no pun intended." He motioned. "So that's why we can see through the coven for thermals but not the see the tunnel." I was slightly stunned and a bit peeved on that one, it meant that Emon and more than likely Naoyuki had a way of leaving before we got there, "Emon and Naoyuki are still in there." Mamrou assured me.
I turned to see him, "We don't know that now. If it weren't for the increase in Lycan's we wouldn't have known for sure on the tunnel." He put his hands on my shoulders as I tried to calm down, "He is because he has nowhere else to go. He had to get a pack of lycan's as a defense cause there's no one else besides Naoyuki that believes in his far fetch dream of world domination." He explained. I had to admit he had a point, "So say he is still inside, say they both are, we still need to confirm it before we breach."
Both agreed, "The layer of rock can only go so far so I'll bring up a wider spectrum of the satellite view to see if there's a tunnel like formation underground. Maybe were it ends off at." Soren explained as he began to zoom out, "If your able to find it we can station a few vampires there to kill anyone that's not our own. If Naoyuki tries to come out if he's in there he's a capture if we can mission." Mamoru looked at me, "If we can't?" he asked.
"Then we kill him." on that note Soren remarked, "It's unbelievable of what this whole situation has come to." We looked at him, "Two elders betray another and now we might have to kill one of them." I had to agree things definitely got choppy in these last few weeks. "Mamoru and I will leave out soon and do some recon on the coven. But we won't go in. This is recon only and we don't want to tip our hand yet to them knowing we know where they are." I say as Mamoru then tells us, "Or maybe…"
Soren and I both look to him, "They don't care that we know where they are. You got to figure these vampires think they can do anything they truly want as they've been doing it for who truly knows how long, they don't see us as opponents but as obstacles in their way." I had to admit yet again he had a point, "They don't see us as a threat…however they wouldn't want to take a chance on the coven's figuring them out." I turned back to the satellite images.
Walking closer towards it I watched the little highlighted red images moving about in them. It was like watching glow in the dark red ants on a big screen tv, "We use the night to our advantage and take a page from Emon's book by putting wolfs bane on us. The lycan's wont smell us as easily and we can get closer to them." Mamoru nodded in agreement, "We can stick to this cluster of trees to gain better viewing for the second and third floors." He pointed to the side view image of what we had.
"I want to see what kind security he has and that can't be done through satellite. No offense." I remarked to Soren. "No problem. Satellite's are good for surveillance up top but you need ground surveillance." I was glad he understood, "Soren do me one favor." He looked to me, "I want that sword to have a layer of wolfs bane rubbed onto it for good measure." I wanted to be sure in case I ran into a lycan in there which I more than likely wound.
"Sword?" Mamoru asked, "I'll explain on the way." I tell him, "Any further updates let us know." I tell Soren as Mamoru and I leave out, "Going to gear up?" He asks, "Accessorizing." I state sarcastically as Mamoru smirks, "So seriously, sword?" he asks as we go down the hall and up the stairs. Got to change before we go out. She waited till we passed a few vampires before telling me, "Emon left the sword here that he used to stab our elder. I plan to return it." her explanation had me stunned but smirking in response.
"I gotta say that's…" we passed by a few more vampires as we got to our shared room and closed it up behind us, "Pretty damn bad ass. You're going to kill him with his own sword." She took off her pleather top and put on an easy to move around in tank top as she then put a zip up leather sleeveless jacket over it. Swiping her hair back into bands to keep it from getting in her face she was the epitome of power and sex.
If I didn't know any better I'd say my sex drive was also now ramped up even more than before to. If we weren't about to leave out to do some recon I would seriously be wanting to - "You getting ready?" she asked, taking me from my perverse train of thoughts as I nodded my head before she stated, "After all…" then pulled me in for a kiss as I looked down at my dark angel, completely mesmerized by her attitude.
I knew things definitely felt stronger for her now and I relished the feelings I was getting from this. I'd walk through fire for her. Travel the world for her. I smiled as I knew she'd do the exact same thing for me. I couldn't help but appear to look like a blithering idiot right now as she said, "Emon's grave is being dug tonight." As she left off, determination in her steps. I just watched as she left out spell bound for about a moment as I said, "I'm so going to marry you." As I swap shirts myself and jogged after her.
