Chapter 19 and this will be the last chapter for quite some time. I have a testweek coming up and it starts tomorrow. I'll have to study and do boring stuff during that week so I can't write chapter 20 within that week. Meaning you'll have to wait a week.
Enjoy!
When you find the one…19
Shego faced the young male vampire, a dangerous glint in her eyes as she got closer and closer. An almost crazed smile spread on her face as she saw the young vampire back up in fear. Only now did he realize that he was in way over his head. There was no way, he realized, that he could defeat Shego. That moment he was happy he wasn't alone. As soon as Shego came too close the other vampires stepped in. They surrounded her, protecting Silvano from the black-haired vampire.
"You all wanna play hunh?" She questioned her eyes taking in every vampire. "Well, let's play!" She snapped and her plasma flared dangerously. She hissed at the younger vampires, daring them to attack her. And they did. They attacked her, all at once. Even though she got jumped by at least 6 vampires, she didn't back down. She crouched low, kicking one that jumped right at her, hurling a plasma ball at another one, punching a young man in the face. She rolled to the side, avoiding a sharp claw that had been aimed at her chest. She crouched again and kicked at the ankles of a young female vampire. She floored the vampires by her own, kicking them down, punching them and threatening them with plasma blasts over and over again.
She grabbed a young blond man by the arm and launched him into a tree. With the palm of her hand she struck another young man in the face, breaking his nose with a sickening crack. Her hand wrapped around the throat of a young brunette female and she choked the girl before throwing her through not one, 2 but 3 trees.
She stumbled backwards as a claw made contact with her face, leaving huge scratches along her usually flawless pale complexion. Though she paid the wound no mind, she grabbed the wrist of the owner of the claw and snapped it backwards, making the purple-eyed female vampire cry out in pain.
"I hope this won't leave a scar." Shego hissed at the girl and she kicked her to the ground with a boot to the face. "Kimmie, I hope things are a lot easier for you right now." She whispered as she ducked, avoiding yet another kick at her head.
Somewhere deeper in the forest a panting red head was still busy running. Every now and then she dared to look behind her, just to find out that she was still being followed. What made it even worse was the fact that the vampires were getting closer. She tried to run as fast as she could, pushing herself to the very limit of her vampire powers. Or though she thought. Tears formed in her eyes, the wind gushing past her face making them trail down her cheeks. She had never gone this fast, it made the wind sting at her eyes though she tried to ignore it. She couldn't stop running; she didn't want to be caught by the other vampires.
"You can't run forever!" Someone yelled at her and the voice sounded a bit too close for comfort. That's when it hit her, she was running but that didn't mean she couldn't take some of them down. She could easily fend them off, though not all at once. She had to make a plan, a way in which she could get rid of them without having to face them all together. She was going to turn the game around; she was going to become the hunter instead of the hunted. A grin formed on her face, her eyes lighting up as the plan formed in her mind. She opened and closed her hand as she ran, the ground, unknown to her, moving as she ran across it.
"Two can play that game." Kim murmured to herself and she started executing her plan.
She started zigzagging through the forest and around the trees. As she had predicted the vampires kept moving in a straight line, giving her the chance to throw them off. Without even thinking about it she started moving slower until she was moving parallel with one of the vampires. Her hand shot up, aiming at the vampire and suddenly he disappeared, engulfed by the ground.
One down, 5 to go. She thought and she sped up again, making sure that the vampire that launched himself towards her missed her by just an inch. She looked back at him, grinning widely and sped up even more. The young man hissed and jumped to his feet again, resuming the chase immediately. Kim continued running, executing the rest of her plan. Rather than thinking about it she simply acted. She blew a girl off of her feet with a gust of wind, giving herself a bit more space to breathe.
As soon as the girl had hit the ground the branches of the trees shot down, wrapping her tightly in their grip as Kim brought her own hands together. Two down, 4 to go. Was her immediate thought. She quickly scanned her opponents, noticing 3 guys and one girl that couldn't be much older than herself. She didn't kill the vampires; she simply blocked their ways. Making sure they couldn't follow her and that was what she was going to do with the remaining 4 as well. As she sped through the never-ending forest she wondered how Shego was doing, hoping the woman wasn't injured.
Said woman had just burned a vampire into ashes and had killed another one by tearing him apart. Literally. She was getting pissed off by the never-ending rain of young useless vampires that kept attacking her. She had killed 2; she had 3 left and of course still Silvano, the coward.
"Let's just get this over with." Shego sighed as she punched a hole into the chest of a hazel-eyed vampire. The vampire's hand shot up to his chest, clutching it close over the hole before falling face forward on the forest ground. 3 down 2 to go. She thought as she focused on the remaining vampires. They wouldn't give up, she had to admit, for a bunch of amateurs they were quite brave. Or stupid. She thought as the 2 remaining vampires, fighting for Silvano, attacked her for what seemed the hundredth time.
She closed her eyes for a few seconds, listening to the approaching vampires. She focused on just one, the last female of the group. Her eyes snapped open, aimed at the girl and she suddenly came to a stop. Her body froze, her eyes widened and her hands started clenching and unclenching. The immediate stop of the vampire girl made the other attacking vampire come to a stop as well. He looked at her in concern, forgetting completely about the dangerous green-eyed vampire that was keeping the girl in control.
The yellow-eyed female vampire dropped to her knees, her hands reaching for her throat. Her eyes remained wide as Shego stared her down, never blinking. Her eyes narrowed slightly and the girl let out a choking sound.
"You fool she's killing her! Do something!" Silvano barked at the frozen vampire male. The young man immediately snapped out of his trance, focusing on Shego again.
"Tsk, tsk Silvano, you afraid to do something yourself? Afraid for dirty hands?" Shego questioned whilst keeping her eyes completely on the girl in front of her. "I wouldn't even try attacking me if I were you." She spoke in the direction of the young man who now hesitated.
Another 5 seconds passed and the girl collapsed to the ground lifelessly. Shego grinned and finally looked up from her victim, focusing on the two last vampires.
"I'll give you 3 seconds to get away, if you're not OUT of my eyes by then I'll kill you both." She hissed at the two men. The second the words left her mouth they started running, leaving her with a very satisfied grin on her face.
"3, 2, 1." She whispered to herself and as she reached zero the two vampires were still in sight. She sighed softly, shaking her head in disappointment. "I was hoping I wouldn't have to do this." She said to herself and she took off in a sprint. In no time she reached the duo, realizing that it was best if she killed them immediately. Killing them would reduce the chance of Fino discovering their location. She had to find Kim as well, hoping that the girl was holding on by herself. She just prayed that they hadn't caught her yet. Though something told her that Kim could definitely handle the situation by herself.
She decided not to use some fancy vampire trick to take the two down. She simply ignited her plasma again, planning on singing the hell out of them and turning them into ashes. It was the most convenient way to kill vampires. Burn them constantly or burn them with a fire that can melt through anything in order to kill them immediately. Luckily Shego possessed over the last ability, making it easy for her to take them down. She hurled two blasts towards the running vampires, toppling them to the ground. It gave her the opportunity to completely close the distance between them. She smiled down at them as she reached them.
"I gave you 3 whole seconds and you didn't manage to get away? That's kinda pathetic isn't it? What kind of SLOW ASS VAMPIRES ARE YOU TWO?" She snapped at the two, making them crawl backwards through the forest soil. "I swear to god, vampires are getting slower with the century, you two should be ashamed of yourselves." Shego tsk'ed at the pair but they didn't dare to reply. She didn't waste another word on the two, flaring her plasma up to full heat and burning the two vampires to ashes.
It was a quick and easy job, finally giving her the opportunity to go and find Kim. She ran past the two piles of ashes and sped off to find her redheaded lover. Though Kim could be everywhere in the huge forest of Germany. Luckily she had great senses as a vampire, making it easier for her to track down her lover. She could smell the girl already and if she could smell her, it meant that she was alive. That was one concern less for the green-eyed vampire speeding through the forest. Even though she didn't know how long the girl would be alive. It could end any minute, knowing that the girl had last been followed by at least 6 vampires.
As Shego ran to the forest she noticed she was getting closer to her princess. The scent was getting stronger and the stronger it got the more hope she had. As she got closer the red head quickly appeared in her sight. Though she came to a stop to admire her lover.
Kim had stopped running; she had taken care of most of the vampires. There were 2 left now and she was standing still, facing them directly. It made Shego admire the girl, watching in amazement how she controlled the elements around her. Kim was working with the earth and the wind just perfectly. Though she had yet to see the girl master water and fire. She wondered if she could produce it herself, kinda like her plasma. She couldn't help but grin as Kim kicked the shit out of the two vampires attacking her.
The two got completely clobbered, there was nothing left of them when Kim was done.
When Kim was finished with them Shego finally showed herself. She stepped out of the shadows of the trees, applauding for the panting red head.
Breathing heavily Kim's head snapped to the side to look at the source of the clapping sound. Her eyes held a dangerous glint in them though when she recognized whom it was they immediately lit up. She smiled widely and almost launched herself towards her vampire lover. Shego opened her arms for the girl, accepting her hug. She wrapped her arms around the girl tightly, sighing as she could finally hold her.
"You okay?" She murmured into the red head's ear and she felt Kim nod against her shoulder.
"Couldn't be better." She replied softly and she tightened her grip around Shego's waist. She had forgiven the woman completely, she loved her and marriage was the last thing on her mind now. She realized, during her fight with several vampires, that marriage wasn't a point they had to worry about right now. They had other things to worry about; more important things like staying alive. "Shego, I love you, I love you… I'm sorry." She started murmuring against the skin of the woman's neck. "Forgive me? We had a fight about something stupid." She added and she felt Shego's hand rub up and down her back.
"It's okay princess, there's nothing to forgive, you didn't do anything wrong. I'm just glad you're okay. You really kicked some ass just now; damn you had those vampires pretty good! You practically owned them!" Shego cheered pulling back slightly in order to look Kim in the eyes. "I didn't know you could control your abilities so well." She added a bit surprised.
"To be honest… I didn't know either. I was in danger, I just acted on instinct and that's when it happened. I can't control elements if I'm not in danger. I still have to learn that." Kim replied and she looked away shyly.
"You'll get the hang of it princess," Shego said and she raised Kim's face by her chin. "Really just give it time, I can train you until you can control it perfectly." She added and she smiled at the girl before their lips met in a somewhat needy kiss. They clung to each other, Kim a bit more than Shego and kissed heavily. Their lips moved against each other, seeking each other out through an act of passion. They both moaned as their tongues touched, feeling the tension seep out of their bodies. The tension of being hunted and fighting was completely forgotten within seconds. They found themselves in heaven as they kissed over and over again in the dark forest.
Enemies or not, they refused to let go for a longer period of time. They could've kept on kissing until the sun came up but they planned on finishing in Shego's villa. So, regretfully, they pulled apart, lips swollen and chests heaving.
"Stay close to me okay? They came into action because we parted, if we're together we're the strongest we can be and they know that. We'll have a better chance of survival and they won't attack as quick as they did today." Shego spoke in a breathy tone as she intertwined her fingers with Kim's.
"I understand." Was all Kim said and Shego lightly squeezed her hand. They shared a look, agreeing that it was time to head home. Time to relax and especially time to take a shower. Shego felt dirty and her red headed lover was covered in dirt, giving her a surprisingly cute look. Though she didn't mention the streak of dirt that painted Kim's cheek.
They headed home, running hand in hand, both suddenly aware of the pain in their bodies. Now that they were relaxed they noticed all the small things. Little cuts and spots that would've been enormous bruises if they had been human. A faint aching feeling in their bones accompanied the little cuts, along with exhaustion. It took quite a while to tire a vampire out. Though battling with several vampires at the same time usually did the trick quite fast. Who wouldn't be tired after running and fighting 6 vampires at the same time? Shego was surprised they even made it to the house in such a fast pace.
Even though the two wanted to fall into each other's arms in a wild night of passion they knew it wasn't a good idea. They head to regain their strength and that meant they had to feed and lie down for a bit. So that was exactly what they did. On their way to the house Shego caught some food for the both of them, knowing that Kim was hungry as well. And she was right. The girl devoured her meal within minutes, eating as if she was afraid that it would disappear. Shego, however, ate in a somewhat slower manner, taking in the taste of fresh animal blood.
After their meal they got rid of the remains and Shego suggested they should watch a movie. They both had difficulties sleeping as vampires but watching a movie was relaxing as well. So Kim agreed to the idea but mentioned that she had to take a shower first. She was still covered in dirt and she couldn't relax whilst being dirty. Shego gave a nod in agreement and they ended up in the shower together, bodies slick with water and moving against each other. Moans and soft panting sounds accompanied their movements. Hands roamed both reaching euphoric heights as they got 'dirty' underneath the shower.
Despite the fact that Kim was past her lust stage she still had a huge need to feel Shego against her. It seemed that the girl simply had a constant lust for the woman, it had nothing to do with hormonal stages. Shego didn't complain at all, she simply went along with the movements.
Her hands tracing down Kim's wet skin, following her curves precisely. She touched and caressed placed that made Kim go wild. Making her moan out loud in the shower, it was like music to Shego's ears. Though she wasn't the only one doing the work, she got rewarded greatly by Kim, several times and she was grateful for it. Their little outburst of activities stretched the shower time to a length of at least an hour.
Very satisfied and finally thoroughly cleaned they exited the shower, together. Both wearing stupid grins they dressed in something comfortable and were finally able to settle down on the couch. The big flat screen TV Shego owned was turned on and the DVD was inserted into the DVD-player. Now they could enjoy their movie, just like they had planned on doing more than an hour ago.
"You know I never understood why vampires couldn't walk in direct sunlight. What in their body decides to burn when exposed to sunlight?" Kim questioned as they watched Blade, the day-walker vampire, kick ass on TV.
"It's a matter of evolution, dead people are never exposed to sunlight. Vampires are officially dead and so they were never to be exposed either. If they were, the sudden feel of the sun after so many years without it is enough to burn them to death. Our skin wasn't developed to be exposed to so much sun, thus the burning to ashes part." Shego explained. "Thanks to evolution we are now able to walk in direct sunlight." She added afterwards.
"So because of evolution we kinda got a thicker skin or something like that?" Kim asked without taking her eyes off of the screen.
"Yes the first vampires had a lot of defects. Their appearance but also the sun of course. So as they reproduced their offspring slowly started to develop a different appearance and different skills. Eventually we evolved into sunlight resisting almost human-like vampires. We can't be recognized that easily anymore nowadays. That's why humans are scared shitless when they realize that vampires actually do still exist." Shego murmured her eyes glued to the screen as well. "I mean it could be your neighbor and you won't know it until he tries to suck you dry." She joked but to Kim it was quite an eye opener.
She realized that it really could be anyone. As a vampire herself she could recognize them now, she could smell them and see the inhuman side that vampires held. Though as human she didn't have a clue up until the moment Shego told her what she was. Even when she had told her she didn't believe it. She could almost slap herself for being so stupid. Asking if she sparkled and what not. She hadn't noticed that she had insulted Shego back then but now she would be insulted as well if someone were to ask that certain question.
"Vampires reproduced in order to evolve? Couldn't they just infect another person and try to disable the downsides?" Kim asked as she watched how Blade used his sword against the vampires in the movie.
"Darwin just rolled over in his grave. You can't evolve if you infect someone with the same disease. How would you as another significant person control the defects of the disease in someone else's body? Nature doesn't work that way; animals can't just bite each other and decide they can breathe underwater. If a bird were to 'infect' a pig it wouldn't suddenly become a flying pig. Animals evolve in order to survive and that's exactly what vampires did." Shego explained and this time she DID turn to look at Kim.
The girl grinned sheepishly at her.
"Oh, right sorry, I never looked into the evolution theory enough." She replied slightly embarrassed and Shego simply rolled her eyes at the girl.
"Doesn't matter, just enjoy the movie." Shego said and she placed a kiss on Kim's cheek before she pulled the girl back to rest against her. "Relax." Shego murmured into her ear and she did. They both relaxed, enjoying the movie as Shego had advised. The movie threaded on for what seemed ages and even though it was action packed the two just couldn't concentrate on it. As the movie ended the two had actually drifted off into a light slumbering state. The day had been eventful enough for them to fall asleep.
Even Shego had drifted off slightly, though she was very aware of the fact that Kim was still in her embrace. The TV switched back to the main menu of the DVD and apart from the occasional sound emitting from the TV it was quiet. The two remained in their positions, wrapped up on the couch catching up on some well-deserved rest.
Whoa they both kicked some ass! damn! Kim kicked the shit out of vampires with wind and earth! Shego was simply Shego and simply kicked the shit out of all of them. Well that was kinda badass! =D Though Kim has to train her skills a bit more! They both stood their ground and now.. they finally have a moment of rest.. but.. damn how long will that last? Not long I guess! But you'll find that out in a week when I'm finally able to update this story.
Yet again Sorry! But I have a testweek coming up and I'm scared shitless to be honest XD haha
yours truly,
