"This reminds me of my time in Italy." Sirius said as he walked on through the dark halls, he didn't even lower his voice. He talked as though he were still in Dan's shop, like nothing was happening. "Me and Andromeda went there, late 1800's it must have been... or what it early 1900's... oh well you'd best ask her about that one but we were in this old castle looked like this, I tell you that night – "
"Could you shut up?" Heather asked. "We're trying to be sneaky; I don't want to have to stake you."
"Love, if a horde of vampire slayers can't manage to stake me I very much doubt you can."
"You underestimate me." Heather said with venom in her voice.
"No, my dear, you are simply foolish."
Before the argument could continue on any further Alice stepped between them. "Both of you stop." She said in a hushed voice. "Stop before you set of any - " A siren was heard followed by flashing lights. "Alarms."
"Dammit." Heather said griping the stake even tighter.
"And the fun begins." Sirius said smirking.
Elsewhere in the mansion the alarms continued to sound throughout the halls. Lucius, Draco, Remus and Andromeda looked around at the red flashing lights around them. "This is gonna get interesting." Andy said smiling.
"I bet you set this off! You're the one who was all in the security systems!" Remus accused looking to the vampire.
"I'm not the one who did this!" She cried. "It's not my fault, besides you knew it was going to happen sooner or later."
"Both of you stop arguing!" Lucius said. "Any second guards will be swarming these halls and we have to be ready not fighting amongst ourselves."
"Dad, that second just got here." Draco said looking down the hall as lights became visible.
"How fun." Andy said and walked forward down the hall.
"Freeze!" cried a man down the hall with a gun pointed at her.
"If you knew me you so would not be saying that." Andy said and their flashlights shined in her face.
"An - Andromeda," one of the said recognizing her, "Why are you here?"
"I have my reasons." She said and took out her gun shooting him once in the chest. The rest advanced on her and she began fighting them. She threw a punch to the first one throwing his far back into the rest of the guards. She threw out a series of complicated moved with simply picking men up and throwing them back against walls; while she fought she heard the others fight behind her as she killed the guards who fought her with ease.
Draco growled as he fought off the guards. It seemed like whenever one fell down two more took his place. His punches seemed not to even faze some and he had to take out the gun and begin shooting, it seemed everyone did. Well almost everyone Andy knocked them all out or killed them without firing a single shot, well except for the one in the first man.
As he shot another man he felt an arm around his neck and a gun to his head. Draco froze he didn't move but as the man began to laugh Draco felt the grip loosen around his neck. When he turned around he aimed his gun but saw his father standing there with blood on his hands.
"Like I said your mother will kill me." he turned back around and began fighting another guard.
Harry was firing spells constantly down a corridor not far away, he threw very few punches to the men he fought. He heard the snarl and growl of a werewolf behind him. Harry found it to be unsettling fighting like this but he knew this was thre only chance they had on getting home.
Finally the battle was over and the group stood around unconscious and possibly dead bodies. Harry looked around at them and spotted one waking up. In a flash he was over there and bending over the man. "Where does Laura keep her books?"
"What books?"
"You know what I'm talking about, where are the rare books?"
"I don't know, she would never tell me. I just work for her." The man moaned.
"Don't give me that I know you know."
"Why would he?" Dan said walking over trying to calm Harry a little bit. "Think about it, Harry, he's just a guard he wouldn't know."
Harry thought about it and Dan was right, he had no reason for knowing. He was just a guard. A henchmen, he wouldn't know. "I guess... I guess you're right." Harry said and lowered the man to the ground. "Stupefy." He muttered and the man went limp, unconscious. "Come on, best we go try and find them now."
Lucius walked through a different corridor scanning the area constantly for enemies. As he walked down a hall he stepped past one area and without warning metal bars flew across the hall and locked onto the other side. Lucius grabbed them and tried to pry them off the wall but it was no use, even with his strength it wouldn't budge.
"Allow me." Andromeda said and she stepped forward, she grabbed the bars and pushed. That's when it dawned on them that there was no chance of moving the bars, if a vampire as strong as Andy couldn't make it budge none of them could. "This thing isn't gonna move." She said, "Not even if we tried together."
"Well that's just perfect." Lucius said and banged on the bars with his fist.
"Now what do we do?"
He sighed and thought for a moment. "Okay, Remus you and I'll go and continue down this hall, you two go back and try a different one. If you met up with any of the others try to alert us, please, I know you don't have a wand but try. And don't get in any trouble," he said looking at his son.
Draco nodded and gave him a smile. "I'll be okay, dad, don't worry about me."
"I know, just... just don't die on me." Lucius replied.
"You know I won't."
Lucius smiled slightly and nodded. "Yeah... I know."
"Don't worry, wolf man, I'll take care of your little cub." Andy said grinning.
"For some reason that doesn't comfort me," Lucius muttered. "Come on Remus," he said and gave one last look to Draco.
"I'd rather be paired with you." Andy said through the bars at Remus as she turned around.
Remus turned around and faced Lucius who had an eyebrow raised. "She really scares me." He said and he continued down the hall with Lucius leading the way.
Walking down another hall was Sirius, Hermione and Alice, they found their fair share of layout changing halls but they all managed to stay together. Only once did they come across a set of bars that almost split them up, Sirius managed to catch it before it hit the other side and everyone was able to get by. But he could only hold it for a couple seconds; it was heavy even for him.
Sirius growled as he heard a noise close by, Alice did the same; Hermione put her wand at the ready, prepared for anything that could happen. "More soldiers?" She whispered.
"Yeah." Sirius said and cracked his knuckles.
"They seem different." Alice said and sniffed the air a little.
"How?" Hermione asked.
"I dunno... but they do." She whispered. "They're coming."
"Then let's go kick some ass." Sirius said and the second they saw the men come around the corner Sirius ran and jumped in the air to attack. He managed to land a few and knock them to the ground but suddenly he was thrown back by an invisible force. "What the bloody hell?" He said and looked up.
One of the men was carrying a wand. "So, you're the intruders? A vampire, werewolf and witch, hm, I would have thought it would be more then that. Oh well." He pointed his wand at Sirius and he went flying back into the wall once more.
"Expelliarmus!" Hermione cried but the man easily deflected it with a spell.
"You can not defeat me that easily, witch you are a child who somehow got hold of a wand, and a weak one at that. I have been studying sorcery for years. You can't win with juvenile spells."
"I can try!" She yelled and cast several more right after the other, he deflected them all.
Alice used her speed and bolted forward to tackle the man she gave him a good scratch on his arm, that's it. She was thrown back by a spell she didn't even remember him hearing. "Dammit!" She cried as she hit the wall behind her.
"I'm not going to be played like a fool." Sirius said and his fangs lengthened and his demonic aura took over. "You're dealing with the most dangerous vampire in all of Europe, you can't win!" He cried and lunged at him, a spell was fired at him but it was hardly affective in his horrific rage. He let out a terrible roar and punched the wizard in the face, with another kick the man fell to the floor stunned at what just took place.
"You filthy half breed." The wizard said, "How dare you!"
"No, how dare you." Sirius aid and sunk his fangs into his neck. Sirius cringed with the acidic taste the blood had as it ran down his throat making him want to fall to the floor and cry out in agony but this man was playing him a fool. He needed to be disciplined.
When Sirius pulled away he spit the blood out on the floor and saw the man fall to the floor, Sirius wasn't able to take nearly enough blood in order to kill him but he left a nice gash in his neck. Sirius's knees gave away and he too fell to the floor, if felt like his throat and stomach were being ripped out as the blood made its way down. He moaned and leaned over gripping his stomach, he continued to spit up blood and it ran down his chin dripping to the floor. "You're blood tastes like shit you know that?" Sirius said and with all his energy he got up and in a flash broke the man's neck.
The two girls meanwhile were taking care of the rest of the guards that came in fighting their way through them; none of those men carried wands, thankfully. When they were finished they slowly made their way over to the area where Sirius was lying on the floor.
"Uh... Sirius?" Alice said and he gave no response. She looked over to Heather who simply shrugged.
"Yo, vamp." Heather said and walked around so she could see his face. His mouth was covered in the wizard's blood and his eyes were wide and in pain, it was so much pain he couldn't speak.
"Oh God..." Sirius gasped as he stared off into the distance with vacant dark blue eyes. "Stake me..."
"Will do." Heather said and tossed her stake in the air and caught it in a more convenient way for staking. She held it up and was prepared to stake him.
"Hey." Alice said and grabbed Heathers arm. "No stakey the vampire."
"But he said –"
"No."
Alice let go of Heathers wrist and with one short motion Heather make a staking movement just to satisfy her.
"Excuse me, darlin's." They looked up to see Andromeda walking down the hall with Draco behind her looking around. "May I ask why you're lookin' like you're about to stake my sire?"
"He asked." Heather responded.
"What are you doing here?" Alice asked them. "And where's Lucius and Remus?"
"Lost them." Draco said. "A cage bar thing came across the hall and separated us, we couldn't move it."
"We saw a couple of those." Heather said.
"Yeah," Alice said, "it kind of set us off track, we had to go the opposite way cause we ran into one, another one we managed to get past before it closed all the way."
Andy kneeled down next to Sirius, she moved his jet black out of his eyes and looked down at him. "Hey darlin', you okay?"
"Andromeda, love..." He moaned closing his eyes.
"Oh how much blood did you drink?"
"How is he?"
"Bad..." She sighed looking him over, "He ain't even pretending to breathe anymore. It might take him a while to snap out of this one." She said looking up at them. "If he could just drink some blood... hey, one of you get over here." She said to the two werewolves who stood by idly.
"W – what...?" Alice said.
"One of you get over here so he can drink your blood." Andy said.
"No!" Draco said pulling a face.
"It's not that bad, he drank my blood all the time, come on! You guys aren't human, your blood may taste like shit but we can drink it so one of you come over here and give me your wrist. If you don't, he will useless to us for hours and prone to get staked and we need him so get over here."
Draco timidly stepped forward, "I'll do it... I guess..."
"Good, you have thick blood, now get down and gimmie your wrist." Draco did so and Andy held his wrist in front of Sirius's mouth. "Come on, love, drink the nasty werewolf blood."
Draco let out a cry as Sirius sunk his fangs into his wrist, "Dammit! That hurts you crazy psycho bitch!" Draco said.
"Maybe you're just weak." She smirked, after minute or so Andy took his arm away from Sirius's mouth. "That should be enough, it'd be better if he could suck you dry but I don't think that would be appreciated, I'd probably get staked. Okay go away." She said to Draco and pushed him, Alice was immediately at his side and wrapping his wrist with a piece of cloth.
"You okay Draco?" Alice asked.
"Yeah I'm fine."
"Don't do that again Draco, if your father found out I just sat here while a vampire fed off you I would get a silver bullet to my chest." She said harshly as she tired the make-shift bandage.
"I know, I just thought it was the right thing to do."
She smiled. "It was."
"Wake up, darlin'." Andy said to Sirius.
"Andromeda, love, have I ever told you how sexy you look right now?"
She smiled suggestively. "Not recently."
She leaned down and the two proceeded to snog on the floor in the middle of the mansion where they were most likely going to die.
"Hey!" Heather said. "Both of you get up off the floor and start moving before I –"
"Before you what?" Andy said shooting up off the floor in a split second and glaring at Heather getting very sick and tired of the human. "Before you plunge a stake in my heart? Drench me with holy water? Push me in the sunlight? Or perhaps decapitate me? Please, you're just a little bartender slut who got caught up in the big leagues. I've killed dozens of slayers over the years; nothing scares me, especially not you."
"Well I can make you afraid." Heather spat.
"I doubt that." Andy said and grabbed her neck; she lifted Heather a good foot or two above the ground. "Take your best shot."
Heather lunged at her chest with the stake she held but Andy caught her wrist with her other hand and with no effort at all. "Please, you think you can get me that easy?"
"Both of you stop it." Alice said but the two paid her no mind.
"Andromeda," Sirius said standing up. "Take your hands off her, no killing." He said in a calm voice.
"But darlin' – "
"No killing, not yet, when this is all over you can kill them all you want but not now."
"Whore." Andy said letting go of her and dropping her to the ground, she sneered and stalked off down the hall away from the group, Sirius followed her.
"Bloody vampires..." Heather said glaring at them as they walked away.
