A vampire's forbidden love: the lies that bind us ch.17
Usagi POV
I left the elders to their own devices as Kitiara was being transported to the prison by two of their own older personal guards that they knew could handle her. Never had I ever seen anything as satisfying as her face when she learned the truth of where she was going to. She actually thought she was going to get away with it and NOT face panache for what she had done. Even if it was just to let Emon in it caused so much despair and pain that guilty feeling or not she wouldn't be getting away with it.
I was glad that she felt guilt over it but it didn't mean I didn't want her to face what she had done and be off with just a warning. She would face her crimes and yes she would be granted safety but it also meant complete isolation from anyone else. She would grow paranoid about Naoyuki coming for her. I just let her think that Naoyuki would be there next to her to put the fear inside of her. I wanted her to feel that fear for a long time to come. She should have come to us instead of allowing him in.
I had a strange feeling deep in my gut that the dick elder wouldn't go quietly. I already knew Emon wouldn't but there was something about Naoyuki that told me he would die before going to the prison. I just can't see him rotting behind those jail walls. It was something I didn't mind at all if I were to be honest. Though if I was able to kill him it would be the first for someone like me ever in the history of vampires and lycan's alike.
Usually once deciding to retire for good and leave the world behind vampires would be allowed to be laid to rest for the remaining portion of their lives till their bodies after several more centuries would finally begin to desiccate till nothing remained. It just took forever and a day to do it. It's why they did it in secret since it took so long. The longest I had ever known of was an elder that went to sleep right before Damon moved us all to this coven.
That was hundreds of years ago. It would take at least three to four people to allow their blood to be drained to bring him back to life. Having left out when his mate was struck down in battle. He didn't have the energy nor the will to stay awake anymore and wished to join her in sleep since they also didn't have any children of their own. Something I know our elder would have done had he not had Damon to focus on at the time since he'd already believed Emon to be dead by that point in time.
They would be taken, as that elder was, to a secret burial chamber. The location itself was only known to a select few elders, Chikao being one of them, our elder I think knew as well. They would be placed in a metal coffin locked away to avoid anything accidental from happening to be able to sleep peacefully until mummification took over that way they could die out peacefully over the centuries that would pass by.
It was also kept secret on the location that way no one could ever 'accidentally' discover it or them and accidentally awaken them. It was something that had happened once right before I was turned. The history books giving me plenty to read over the decades as I learned of the innocent who had stumbled upon the previous resting place. The elder who was only a few decades desecrated woke up to the scent of the innocent scraping their knee giving away the fresh scent of blood.
The innocent would up being drained dry by the elder before the elder even realized what had happened the need to feed too strong to give him any actual consciousness of what was happening. Once the elder realized the innocent life he took he decided to urge the counsel during that time to change the location and make it so that they couldn't even be accidentally awoken. The innocent's family was given at the time a small financial donation to help with the burden, a cold comfort yes but it was something at least.
The counsel, in knowing they would be so hungry that any innocent that did awaken them would be devoured without a fighting chance and it still wouldn't be enough made the changes necessary. It's why the location itself needed to remain hidden and secret. I didn't even know where it was. No coven leader did. Not even Damon knew. Not that he cared to but no point is he didn't. Part of me wondered if Naoyuki would be there at some point IF he knew its location but I doubted it.
With several elder bodies still desiccating in there IF he were to make even one error it could cost him his life. The elders in there while yes were weakened from desiccation were also much older than Naoyuki. He would still be over powered by them due to his lower age alone and drained dry. A vampire elder would drain another vampire if they were hungry enough and couldn't tell the immediate difference between them and human.
So would Naoyuki go there for safety from the death warrant on his head…I doubted it, for his own safety…he cared much about himself to make an ill-advised move like that. So when it came to the dick elder, if I was able to get to him in time and secure him it would be the first in vampire history to do so. Usually those that were tasked with capturing a vampire were done so with the lower leveled ones. To be given the task to do so with an elder was a high honor to take on…mainly due to how much more powerful they were.
Or in this case a near impossible task to take on. It's also why I believed I would have to kill him if I found him rather than take him alive. He would never let himself be taken alive by any vampire. ESPECIALLY by myself. The elder hated me with a passion as did Emon though for different reasons. With him it would be a kill or be killed situation. I believed that with my heart true to form.
I just hoped I would be strong enough and quick enough to take him on. Naoyuki did rise up from coven leader to an elder within five hundred years. He was very versed and gifted. One might even say he was a master manipulator. So when I got back to where everyone was now ready as I had already packed my knives and gear up to Mamoru came forward with the sword that was previously Emon's in his hands.
"Thought you might want it." he smiled at me as I took it from his hand. It was definitely a nice blade. Beautifully crafted for its time and had the updated extra blade still on it. Only now it was cleaned of blood. Even the scent of it was gone from the blade as if it was never there. "Good I'll make sure to give it back to him. Think he'll mind if I stick it where the sun doesn't shine?" I asked sarcastically as I attached the weapon to my back strap. "Perhaps but who cares?" he retorted sarcastically as we walked and lead everyone to the vehicles.
Mamoru and I mounted our motorcycles as Rei, Minako and Makoto got onto their own bikes as the vampire soldiers rounded up into the large SUV's nearby. Fully decked out with tactical gear as they started up the vehicles. Jadeite and Malachite were staying behind to help Soren out with the soldiers in directing them since there were over a dozen of us all going inside and majority in need to know where to go to once on site.
Soren was doing a lot but even he would require help just as we all did. This was a team effort all around. Covens were joining forces once again to defeat an enemy that couldn't be known to the rest. Mamoru and I roared the bikes up and headed out with our com's in our ears ready to face the trials ahead. "Okay guys by the time you get there it's still giving us a twenty minute window till they were expected to leave."
"Your all good Usagi, their men are still prepping from what we can see in the camera's. No one has left the coven as of yet." Soren said through the com, "Good, if someone does leave out make sure to let us know so we can send someone over here to go after them." Can't leave any stone unturned out here. "Gotcha. Alright boys lets have some fun shall we?" Soren stated as both the guys over with him sounded to be settling in.
We set off, traveling through the bleak city in the early am hours. Barely a soul in sight. Evading patrols from city police and camera's on the city corners. We sped through it all looking at the city in a newly revered sense of what we were now protecting that they didn't even know about, that they could never find out about. I kicked my bike up into the last gear and sped faster till Mamoru and I broke off from the SUV's.
The girls followed as we drove this path to this degree instead as we now knew what type of time crunch we had to work with. Beforehand not so much. The SUV lead off towards the front as directed so they could prepare to prevent anyone from leaving as we would be doing so from behind. Minako, Makoto and Rei sped up to match us till we began to slow down, recognizing where we were.
We dismounted and left our motorcycles to lean against the trees nearby so that we could get to them in a pinch. "We leave them here, hidden as we take the trails the rest of the way. I don't want their patrols to hear the bikes coming. They don't need to know of our impending arrival." I explain as they hide their bikes to. Not even questioning it as we all double checked the com's before proceeding onward.
The five of us manage to get around towards the back of the coven that was being protected by the lycan guards, some transformed some not and simply holding guns as we leap frogged around the area. Blending in as much as possible to avoid detection. Our sped though not to much was helping us greatly in saving time and avoiding tipping the guards off. While a lycan was fast they weren't as fast as we were.
Its why over the centuries the myth of vampires being able to fly about like bats occurred. We were just that damned fast. Lycan's because of their sheer size fully transformed weren't unable to move as quickly. The woods were being used as our cover as we eventually all made it towards the back and dove off towards our destined points.
Minako had the south entry point to herself as she was one to work alone, Makoto was with Rei at the north one while Mamoru and I took the east entry point to slip in at. The vampire soldiers laid in wait at the west point up front. They could stay in place for hours if need be but that wouldn't be necessary on this one. "Remember everyone, stealth until there are no other options." I stressed. "We don't need to alert our enemies of what's coming till it's too late for them." Sounding sighs of agreement were heard as we moved.
Our guns strapped to us as we went for the stealth approach with knives first till we had to use the guns. We needed to get as close in as possible before alerting anyone to our presence with gun fire. "One last thing to remember before we go in…this is for our elder and for the future of all of our covens. Emon's plans will get us all killed. Naoyuki, if you see him, is to be taken alive if possible but dead if necessary and Emon…is mine to kill." Agreements were once again heard as we breached onto the property.
We came up upon the first lycan guard. Mamoru threw a knife at it in the neck rendering its ability to become vocal about intruders useless. He then grabbed the knife and pulled at it at an angle that slit its throat open. Killing it quickly as its blood spilled into the night. I got closer as another lycan as he came around the corner. I blurred and snuck up around it before I snapped his neck just as his light had shown on Mamoru's knowing face.
Thus preventing it from alerting any one either. His body lay motionless as we dragged both bodies near the bushes that surrounded the coven to avoid being spotted in case the others just happen to come around the corner and spot the intrusion. The posts we had monitored seemed as if that wasn't likely, but a last-minute change might have been made so this was a precaution we needed to take.
I signaled to Mamoru to check on the door to see if it was booby trapped with anything. He signaled back that everything looked fine. It was only the two guards out on post over here that was it. Then as I pulled on the door handle a panel popped out. he opened it up after looking at me as we discovered it was a nine-digit code system before hitting enter. We needed to know that code to get in.
Mamoru took to searching the bodies for the code, perhaps on one of their phones. Finding a phone on each and using their finger prints to open them we found many things, none of which was related or useful to use at the moment. We pocketed the phones for later use as I whispered into the com, "Soren we need help getting inside there's a code system on the door." I explained so that we could still get inside.
"How many digits?" he asked, "Nine." I answered, "You're going to have to go old school Usagi to figure out which ones were used cause not all nine could have been." He replied making me look around for something that I could use to mark this with. Mamoru picked up some dry dirt and handed it to me to which I blew it on the numbers to reveal four digits, "I have a two, four, six and a nine." I repeated. "Okay well assuming there are no repeats in the string your talking over three hundred combinations it could be." Mamoru's eyes widened.
"Wind beneath my wings Soren. Wind beneath my wings." I sighed a bit sarcastically. "Hey if you two are done trying to go in mission impossible style try our way instead." Rei chipped in. I rolled my eyes, "And how was that?" I asked. "We slipped in through a window on the side once we cut it out. I knew that glass cutter would work out well." I rolled my eyes at her bring that along but yet was glad she had.
An impractical gift to me at the time, Rei had decided to get a glass cutter that was fairly expensive. Damon got it for her as a gift that I felt was useless at the time considering we could just bust windows one in seconds flat…and I was now eating though previous thoughts. "Mind coming to our position and opening one for us? We don't have military grade glass cutters." I nearly snapped but resisted.
"No need to be jealous." She quipped with a hint of mirth in her voice that had me rolling my eyes yet again, "Can we please stay focused here?" Mamoru asked as I looked to him. He was getting as antsy as I was to get this done and over with so I couldn't blame him. "Sounds like someone has ants in their pants." Makoto joked as he rolled his eyes this time. His face could be so expressive at times.
"Anyways…get over here, cut out our window and be careful about it." I ordered. Five tense minutes later as we listened in and heard a few muffled moans at certain stages through the coven we were listening through the wall of. We could have easily broken a window however if there was an alarm on it or sensors on the inside that triggered an alarm it would ruin the surprise effect we were supposed to have.
We could only see what they were doing through the camera's and hear through it we didn't know if there were added security measures on the inside of the place. Though if Makoto and Rei were getting in fine that must have meant they bypassed an alarm system or there was none. And while we could still break in silence was key here. Breaking glass would alert anyone around that this place was now compromised.
We were trying to avoid that till we had no choice. So when we heard a small squeaking sound we looked over to the other end of the door to see a window was being cut through from the inside. We slipped in seconds later as the barely there wind came in behind us giving place a slightly fresher scent than before. It smelled like a lycan den in here for sure. "Yeah we know, it kinda smells a tad bit like wet dog in here." Makoto muttered.
More like wet dog and death. It reeked more of death than wet dog. It was hanging in the air very pungently so. I looked over to Rei who I could tell smelled it. We had been around death enough to know its origin and who knew how many lives good and bad had been lost in here. "So is there a reason why we didn't just open the window up for them instead of cutting into it like ours?" Makoto broke the unseen tension in the room.
I broke my gaze towards Rei. "Because there's no telling what's being monitored by them and if there's a security code to get in you better believe it's being recording on a monitor somewhere." I explained. "What about just opening the door? Why order to cut the glass?" Rei asked, "If it's locked from the inside out simply opening the door without putting a code in could activate the alarm to." Mamoru said.
"Plus they could have alarms on the windows to. Opening them could activate it. Plus, we needed to be stealth about this. Breaking glass would alert them that their coven has been breached." She looked back to him, "And the door code? "She asked, "When I worked at the hospital, we had a similar system for the blood storage." Both girls looked to him as I looked for Minako who should be inside by now.
"Only certain staff could get in and IF you were inside as a way to keep the blood monitored since you don't want any cross contamination occurring nor for the blood to go bad since it had to be kept as a certain temperature the doors were locks from both the inside and the outside, only the code either way could open it up." He explained. Both girls looked at him weirdly now, "You're like a dictionary of weird information." Makoto commented.
She sounded both amazed and weirded out by that. Mamoru was trying to decide of that was an insult or a compliment when he just simply stated, "I know." And shrugged it off. "I heard some grunts beforehand, run into any trouble?" I asked quietly. "Nothing we couldn't handle." Rei motioned to two of the bodies on the ground. "We shoved them by the couches to avoid early detection." She gave as I looked to Mamoru and he nodded in understanding of it. "Where's Minako?" I asked.
"Present." She whisper grunted with a slightly mirth filled tone to her through her com as we heard a light thud. "Bad lycan number two over here is down. What's your guys' count so far?" I sighed a breath of relief. Minako knew the count we had assumed was in here through heat sensors so she was trying to keep track of how many were actually left inside. By my count we had already taken care of a fourth of the coven here.
That may seem like a lot but I wasn't about to get ahead of myself. "Okay so were all in, Soren you're our eyes in here direct us to the basement." I lightly ordered. We could see in the dark but I didn't want to be wandering around this coven for any longer than necessary. It had this creepy vibe to it that the scent gave away. Not to mention the place smelled of different types of mold, it just made one want to snuff their nose to it.
"Gotcha, Usagi, you and Mamoru head forward towards the basement, you should see a set of stairs going up but around that is a hallway, take that on the right and that will lead towards the basement." He began. "Rei and Makoto follow them to make sure they get clear passage and don't get hit from behind, Minako you head left from where you're at to clear the passage to the stairs." I was never more glad that we had trackers on us to help Soren keep track of where we were in this place.
"There are four lycan's in the room. As long as you five can avoid letting them call in for back up and take them out before they scream you'll have cleared the front door area." He continued as we listened for the lycan's he mentioned. "What is with the vibes in this place?" Makoto lightly complained. "It's from the many deaths that have hit here. The scent permeants the air." Rei explained lowly.
I motioned to move forward as I said, "Anyway we can disable the alarm system in the coven?" I asked, "If I had that code I could work with it. as it is the camera system's aren't advanced enough to zoom in to see what keys their hitting on the panel to give us a good idea." He remarked. "Beside I highly doubt any of them are willing to give it up." He responded, "I bet I could suss it out of one." Minako chimed in.
"Not with the time limit were on. They wouldn't break so fast." I retorted, "Such a spoiled sport." She responded. We went quiet as soon as we saw the lycan posts on question. Minako went into complete stealth mode as we all did. Our footsteps getting quieter as our knives were raised just enough but low enough not to gleam in any light that could come in. I took a brief glance around the interior of the coven.
The inside itself was very reminiscent of gothic horror. Deep red curtains were draped in different archways, the interior looked brown, like grim brown. Little details that hadn't popped up or been noticed when we'd been watching on the camera's back at our own coven. The furniture was sparse and looked old. Almost decaying itself. I had half a feeling that if I sat down a giant puff of dust would infiltrate my nose it looked that old and unused.
The stairwell was where Soren described it would be at while there were four lycan guards holding automatic weapons, changing positions everyone few minutes to watch everything that happened. None looked to be taking more than a few moments to even breathe differently. They were clearly on guard and not just sitting on their asses. It posed little challenge to us as often as each of us had done something similar.
We'd need to time this just right and prevent any trigger fingers from going off. I looked down and saw that it was a marble flooring of black and white diamond shaped tiles. I motioned to Rei and Makoto as well as Minako once I found her beginning to move in to look down. Realization dawned on them as we all walked differently to avoid our small heels from making any clanking noises to alert them to our progress.
I motioned for them to spread out and move in while I motioned for Mamoru to stand guard and make sure we didn't get hit from behind while taking them out. I knew he could help guard our backs and trusted him with my life and the others as well. They trusted him as well knowing how much he cared. We surrounded the four lycan's in seconds flat being faster than they were by nature even if they were transformed.
Just as they were beginning to get a whiff of our presence I grabbed the lycan nearest to me by the back of his head, yanking on the tuff of hair as I placed a hand over his mouth to prevent screams from coming. Before he could react I stabbed him in the back of his neck. That little soft spongy spot that was vulnerable, severing his spinal cord in seconds flat, forcing his fingers to let the weapon relax in his grip.
The other girls followed suit at the same time, preventing anyone from becoming alert to what was happening. Each of them taking their own lycan guard out without alerting anyone. No sounds other than small muffled groans were heard. The blood that came into the throats from the paralyzing wound was enough to stop anything from becoming vocal. We listened intently to ensure no one was coming.
The girls and I caught the automatic guns before they make an impact on the marble floor. A sound like that would definitely alert anyone in the nearby area to our presence. The lycan guards were quietly and slowly to avoid extra sound, lowered to the ground and pulled out of sight into what looked like an abandon tea room near the front door. Just twenty feet from the door and near double that to the stairwell going upwards.
Mamoru made motions that everything in the area was clear. The tension was building up higher now. One could hear a pin drop and it would sound like a bullet going off it was so quiet. It's why we still had the element of surprise. Minako looked upstairs, her hearing I could tell she was straining to ensure no one had heard anything or was coming down. We all waited with baited breath to ensure we had not been heard.
"Were good. There are a few that are up there but there's no sign of anyone coming down or even any real movement besides other activities." She gave the clear as we saw the hallway that would lead downstairs. The one Soren mentioned earlier. We looked down the hallway and saw the only end was the door to the basement itself. "We need to have this door covered at all times." I explained.
"Here's an errie question?" Makoto began, "Where's the lycan leader? Shouldn't he be close by his pack members?" her questions were valid, "Hai, perhaps he's downstairs with Emon and the rest since he is the lycan leader. We really haven't encountered a lot of lycan's other than the half dozen already dead now. I will admit though I thought there'd be more." I express my own worries in a sense, "Perhaps the rest are downstairs waiting for us." Rei stated lowly as she listened down the hallway.
"I can hear something, but I can't quite make it out." I walked up towards the dark hallway which looked ominous for obvious reasons. I saw another door, slightly closer to us and further from the basement door. I used my enhanced hearing to listen further in and barely heard a wisp of anything but there was a small beating heart inside. I raised my knife up ready to do what needed to be done as I opened it.
A rat was inside on a shelf in the now discovered broom closet. It looked at me as I lowered my weapon down and walked away without a care in the world. Rat was obviously uncaring of who would see it if the lycan's were living here. Then again rats were usually a bit more of an aggressive species. More aggressive than mice. "Why does it feel like were in the part of a movie to get a jump scare right before the big event?" Minako dead panned.
She had a point as I walked towards the other obvious choice door and listened in once again. It took a few seconds, pushing past most of the noises of chit chat that was merely white noise, but I heard it clear as day, "Their mobilizing to leave out." We literally got here as they were nearly ready to head out. "Can you tell how many?" Makoto asked as I did everything I could to hear better but even now it was still to far away and the rock around to thick to hear through. "Damn." I muttered as I shook my head no.
We had Soren's numbers from beforehand but what if there was something else down there that they were hiding in or staying in that couldn't be read via heat signatures? It sounded like there was more than the numbers that were going through my head. Many more. I couldn't figure it out as we had compiled them together. It's why we only brought in the select few vampires that we did. We didn't need the extras and we couldn't afford them without drawling too much attention to the issue at hand.
"Soren could that tunnel we know is there be blocking signal from say other lycan's hiding in it?" I asked, "Good question…If there are any in there it's very possible our numbers were off especially if any are stationed there for collections at either end." I sighed, "So there could be a dozen more and we just couldn't see them beforehand." I muttered, "Hey." Makoto said over the com, I looked back to her, "Just means a dozen more to kill." She finalized.
I nodded as I signaled for Mamoru to come over and take a look at the door. We found that it was locked up and did have a code system on it. "Soren we have another code system." I explained as this time there was no dry dirt to try and see what digits had been pressed beforehand. "No one has a compact on them to use the foundation to see it?" Soren asked. All of us girls looked weirdly at the request.
"Hello buddy! Why the hell would any of us pack THAT when we have way too many damned knives and guns to pack on us instead?" Makoto snapped as Minako rolled her eyes, "Really Soren, just because were woman doesn't mean we'd carry that crap with us on a mission of all things. We're not looking for a date, we have a job to do." Rei muttered not really busting on him but giving him a hard time.
"Nani? I saw it in a movie once." Soren explained, though it sounded like he was explaining it more so to the guys there with him and not to us. "We need a way to get through without alerting anyone to us being here guys." Rei commented. Agreeing with that Mamoru and I looked along the lining of the door and found no wires or anything else that could be of help to us. "Whatever is keeping it secured is on the inside." I uttered.
"This might be the end of silent time." Makoto urged. I sighed as I looked to Mamoru and Minako. Both in agreement as even Rei nodded her head. "Okay were going - " before I could finish a new scent came nearby. Everyone armed up and looked in the direction of where Mamoru, Rei, Makoto and I came from before I gave the order to scatter around in order to avoid begin spotted.
Stealth here till otherwise stated and we hadn't decided yet to go in full force. We were debating on it till the new scent came around. Besides thinking on it now whomever they were could be going where we needed to go and therefore could get us inside without them even knowing it and even if they did it didn't matter we just needed a way in. That was the hope however, reality was usually different by greater means, sometimes though you got lucky. I was just hoping this would be one of those occasions in mind.
It would be advisable to see if they could be followed. Since the basement had a code system to it too we needed to know it or try to see if that was an option so that we could get inside and eliminate Emon and Naoyuki both we that was possible. "Why can't we just do a reset to the code or something?" Rei asked lowly, "Cause all of the controls are on the inside and our team back home can't see the panel form the camera's." I explained.
"She's right, these camera's aren't made for zoom and enhance. Only for my hacking abilities." He stated. She sighed, "Fine." She muttered back lowly. I was just thankful we were all able to talk so low that no one could hear us or else had we been human we would have been caught already. "Waiting by on your orders Usagi." One of the guards outside said. I could hear the tension in his voice.
"Keep steady out there. Things could get ugly pretty soon. Stand by." I expressed as I scattered towards Mamoru underneath the stairs. Best to see who the new scent was so that we could plan from there. The woman who walked in seemed average in size, a little bit thinner but like she was filling back out again. Though it was like she was on a mission to. Wearing beat up jeans with boots and a t shirt and a gun slung around her waist.
The scent of lycan heavy on her as I could tell it was her own scent. Minako made out to make a move when I signaled her to stop and watch. The lycan in question seemed to be looking and listening herself upstairs before muttering, "Ridiculous activities. To be indulging in fucking the food when some of us are hungry…or at least when I'm hungry. I want my happy meal back." I arched a brow as Minako merely shrugged her shoulders.
She signaled 'I heard no signs of sex at the time'. I nodded knowing she would have wanted to save anyone being used as food if it were the case. We just knew by this time the likelihood of ANYONE being alive and no longer food was barely there. Possible yes but more than likely no and on the off chance there was a human left alive we would make sure they were rescued and compelled to forget what happened and sent away.
I had to remember that lycan's still have heartbeats so it must not have sounded like a difference for Minako when she listened for it firsthand. The girl grabbed her walkie as she seemed to notice something very different. That's when it hit me. The lack of guards. Before she could talk into the portable device Rei darted out to plant her blade right by the girl's neck and grabbed her by said neck pressing her long nails into it as well, preventing her from bringing the walkie up to her face.
"Breath wrong and I kill you." She threatened as the female lycan snarled and threatened to transform on Rei till we all came in at her. The sight of all of us together against just one of her seemed to make her hesitate. "Don't even try it. You won't make it." I warn her as she stopped transforming all together. Only two of us lowered our weapons knowing Rei could handle herself with one lycan.
Instead I offered her a deal, "Tell you what, you tell us how to get inside that basement…" I thumbed behind me to it, "And give us an ACCURATE code that won't set off any alarms and we let you live. I think that's a fair trade." I motioned that last part as if I were asking the others in a sense. "Not bad." Makoto agreed. "Better than what I was going to give her." Minako stated right behind her.
"More than what she deserves if you ask me but if it gets us to Emon and Naoyuki we'll let the rat live." Rei smugly stated. She looked ready to slice the girl's throat open to. "Why don't I believe you." The lycan asked pretty sarcastically as well as rhetorically. I walked up to her a bit, "Well I guess you're going to have to take a leap of faith here cause our TRUE goal is Emon and Naoyuki, not you or to be honest your pack."
Makoto and Minako looked at me. I gave a tiny smile, "You see we will kill any pack member that gets in our way BUT if you help us get to our TRUE goals you're buying your ticket to freedom." I give her the out she would need and it was our ticket inside. She looked to be in serious deliberation, "Can I please just kill her?" Rei was practically begging me. the girl started to get tense from it.
"My pack took me in when I was alone and miserable…" the lycan began. I honestly believed she was going to protect them till she said what she stated next, "But in the end I have to look out after me…" I rose a brow at her next words, "Been doing so since I was a child." She must have seen the slight disbelief on my face as what she said next threw me a bit, "Please you must understand, better they die than I. I look out for myself."
I was stunned that she turned her back on them so fast but in the end it was what we needed, a selfish betraying bitch to get us in. "Release me and I'll tell you." She bargained, "You're in no position to be giving out orders." Rei snapped, digging her fingers even harder into the girls throat, "You give us the code, we check it out. If it's real she'll release you and you're free to go. If you're lying to us, she will have no problem ending your life." I tell her.
"5,3,7,8." She answered. "I'm telling the truth it's my only way out and if it were wrong 'stable mable' here will cut my throat." She smarted off. Rei tightened her grip at the insult. "She has a point." Makoto agreed as Rei rolled her eyes, "Still." She muttered as she held her grip tightly around the girl's neck. If she weren't a scheming rat I'd actually feel a tinge bad for her in Rei's grip, alas I didn't.
Mamoru and I began to walk before I said through the com's to Rei, "If the alarms sound off kill her." I wasn't risking to lose this fight and let Emon or Naoyuki live or not be punished because of a single lycan that was clearly selfish as the day was long lying to me. "Not a problem." Rei answered, as serious as she was happy to kill the girl if given reason. Mamoru and I headed back down the hallway as we came back to the door.
Listening in we heard them getting the final touches of being ready. "Moment of truth." I said to him. I went to hit the key strokes when Mamoru stopped me, "Soren is there anyone on the other side of this door?" he whispered into the com. "Not for at least ten feet. If you go in quieter than a mouse you can make it in undetected. Be careful though, there is a blind spot off to the corner on your right side of the room once you're in."
His words gave me a better idea of what to possible account for, "And the camera won't pan any further so I can't see what's over there. It's to shadowy to even try to see a reflection of a lycan or vampire shadow." He stated. Mamoru nodded now that we knew at least that much. I hit the key strokes on the panel. The metal buttons sounded off with their beeps loudly in the moments before I hit enter on the lower right corner.
A soft soundly click was made as a faint green light lite up the panel. The door was opened. I grabbed the handle and turned it down to allow the locking mechanism to release. As the door opened I held up my knife and made sure to stick to the frame of it so that any light that shone from inside wouldn't give a reflection of my frame in the door therefore exposing our position just yet though now it might be unavoidable.
Just as I opened the door Mamoru moved to my other side to make sure he could keep me safe even though he didn't need to do so. However it seemed that fates were against us in this moment of truth. An older man that looked quiet frail but also a bit creepily evil at the same time came to the door. We locked eyes for a moment before his landed on Mamoru's form, "Still alive I see." Before he slammed a fist into him hard.
Mamoru stunned to as in those moments I believe he realized this was the same lycan that attacked him to begin with. "The leader went to hit me but I was able to block him in time and hit him far enough back to knock him down, but then he jumped back up and transformed in seconds flat and hit me back. I ended up getting smashed into the door behind me, taking the big thing off its hinges as the lycan leader roared loudly, alerting every lycan within a quarter mile radius of the breach of intrusion into the coven. Oh it was on.
