Previously, in Chapter 6:

Kathy's body had disappeared from her grave. When Olivia discovers a new power, courtesy of her vampire half, she follows Elliot to the grave site. There she runs in to the enigmatic Michael, her 'creator' Diego, and her vampire sister Lilith; formerly known as Kathy Stabler. Two separate fights are started as Olivia flees from the fight between her Adra and her creator, only to end up being chased by Lilith.

Chapter 7

Lilith grinned maliciously as she continued to pursue the dhampire. Lilith was immortal… she was the night itself… she was unstoppable. But she also owed her life to Diego, although she did not mind… that is as long as Diego needed her around. She was one of his thirty lair queens… but no matter… she would have to just work her way up the ranks until she became his main mate, the 1st lair queen. The few hours old vampiress could feel the power chasing through her dead veins. But she had learned through lair gossip that Diego had been acting rather recklessly in the past few days. According to the rest of the lair, he had been barely beating the sun back to the lair because he was too busy chasing after this Halfling. What did that dhampire possess that she did not?

"You are not afraid of me are you, sis?" jeered Lilith hoping to anger the woman into fighting.

Viper knew the female vampire's game and she was not about to bite. She continued to run while trying to find a place to hide.

'Olivia, I know that the thought living as a dhampire is not very appealing to you but…'

'I know I must accept it.' finished Olivia. She could feel Viper smiling. All of a sudden, Olivia felt strange. She felt a warming sensation spreading through her entire body. It was pleasant yet interesting.

'Viper, what is happening?' she asked as they stopped at a wall that was too high for them to jump over without any training.

'We're merging…' She said as her voice started to fade away. Olivia sank to her knees and closed her eyes as the fatigue set in from all the running and jumping she did. She felt a strange sensation spread throughout her body. She felt as if a dam had broken inside of her and what that dam had been holding back was flowing freely through her. She began to feel her body heat up. Her breath was becoming labored. Just when she felt like she was about to explode, the heat just disappeared. "What happened?" she managed to rasp as she slowly opened her eyes and looked around. She went to push herself to feet but her hand fell into puddle. Olivia looked into it and gasped, she had changed. Her hair was now jet black with dark blue highlights in it. Her face had become more youthful in appearance. Her eyes had become a smoldering blue that almost looked black. Her clothing had changed as well; she was dressed in a dark blue lace up corset tank top with black ribbons. Then there was the black denim jack and pants. Then there was a leather collar around her throat with a sapphire tear-shaped pendant on it. She finally struggled to her feet. She looked down at her feet and saw that she was wearing a pair of black leather boots with a medium heel. Then she turned around when she heard the tap of heels. She and Lilith were now only a few feet from each other. Olivia's hand twitched. She was not sure what to do. She knew that Lilith had the advantage. The female vampire knew this, too. She walked towards Olivia, forcing the Halfling to back up. Lilith laughed.

"Why don't you just give up, we both know I will beat you." She jeered. Olivia did not avert her eyes, she continued to stare the vampire down. That was the key thing vampires had to have: the power of appearance and intimidation. Vampires used intimidation more often than any of their powers when they dealt with those of their own kind. Most of the fang and muscle acted like a rattlesnake's rattle, they were used to scare away a threat. But if the threat ignored the "rattle", things became dangerous. Olivia clenched and unclenched her fists, she was backed up against a very large gap and she had no way of fighting Lilith back. Her worries deepened when Lilith pulled out two to arm blades. The sleek black handles of the blades each had an amethyst in it. The blades were sharp and made of cold steel much like their wielder. Olivia gulped, she was in trouble. Lilith began advance towards her. Olivia's mind ceased functioning. Fear had wrapped itself around Olivia's mind and put it in a strong chokehold. She was panicking. 'What do I do?' Then a thought struck her,

: Just think 'Sanctuary' and he will find you. :

'Sanctuary! I need help!' she thought frantically. All of a sudden there was a bright light that blinded both of the females…

Meanwhile back in the graveyard, the tension between Michael and Diego was becoming thicker. Michael was still perched on top of the cross grave maker. Diego was shifting the weight from his injured foot to his uninjured one. 'Curse that dhampire!' Diego knew that he was now at a huge disadvantage. He was injured and his protector, Lilith was off chasing his new fledgling. He snapped his head up from his musings when he heard a whistling sound. He barely had time to avoid the kunai that had been thrown at him. He looked behind himself to see the kunai embedded in the grass a few feet behind him. When he looked back to where Michael had been perched, the dhampire was gone. Then he felt cold metal being pressed to the back of his throat. But the metal did not stay cold for long. The silver began to burn the flesh on the back of his neck. He tried to move away but as soon as he made to move, with a quick flip of his wrist Michael moved the kunai from the back of Diego's neck to the front.

"So, tell me Diego, why are you of all people pursuing the Daywalker Prophecy? I thought you were a brilliant man?" teased Michael as he pulled the kunai deeper into the flesh beneath Diego's chin. Diego cringed at the pain but he started to laugh.

"Oh, but I am a brilliant man, I will fulfill the Daywalker Prophecy and be worshipped by all of Vampire kind forever!" exalted Diego. Michael softly shook his head. "Besides what would a lowly halfling like you know about the Daywalker Prophecy? Oh no… wait, that's right, your cowardly mentor-- ack!" Michael jerked his wrist causing a small laceration to form on Diego's throat.

"Don't you dare talk about my adra that way!" hissed Michael in a cold voice. Diego smirked as he realized that he had hit a sore spot with the dhampire. He changed into a bird and started to fly away but Michael was faster. He summoned a bolt of energy and threw it at the bird. The white light zapped the bird and Diego changed back into a vampire and fell to the ground. As Diego was picking himself up off the ground, Michael continued to talk as if nothing had just happened. "We both know what the prophecy details, but why them?"

"Oh you mean, your pupil… well, I just found her rather attractive and I followed her around for a bit. Then I discovered that she worked for the police and lived alone, which of course meant easy access. Then I uncovered her feelings for her partner, Mr. Stabler and then I learned of his marriage. This was better anything the Dark Prince could send me! They were so easy to manipulate!" he said as he stood on his feet again.

"Oh, then that must mean that you are in a hurry, Diego. Why?" asked Michael as Diego and he circled one another. Michael knew that Diego loved to show off, therefore, he always loved a challenge. So, the dhampire knew that there was something that Diego wanted to get as soon as possible. Diego growled. Michael was too perceptive. "Would it have anything to do with that open Lord seat that all of the Vampire Generals are fighting over?" Michael smirked as Diego's glare darkened. He watched as Diego seemed to pull a Dark Sword from the ground. The hilt was blood red and the blade was black. Two blood red snakes wound their way up the blade. Diego brought the sword up quickly and slashed at Michael but he blocked the attack with a katakana that seemed to come out of nowhere. The noble sword had a gold and silver hilt. There was a cross craved into the blade. Both men pushed against one another's weapons, trying to gain an advantage. Then Michael pivoted and put his elbow under Diego's sword and into his gut. Diego doubled over as Michael's knee came up to catch Diego's chin. Diego's head was knocked back, which exposed his throat and the angry red gash that Michael made. Michael subconsciously licked his lips. Even though he was a special dhampire, he was not exempt from the blood lust part of the deal. The sight any blood still messed with his head. But he could recover from the urges quicker than most. By the time he regained his bearings, Diego was already back on his feet.

"You are my only worthy fighting adversary, Michael. But now I am serious, you have gotten in my way for the last time!" snarled Diego who was now baring 5 inches of fang and red eyed.

"Oh, are you going to kill me?" asked Michael nonchalantly. He knew this infuriated Diego to no end. The Vampire General was prideful and any show of disrespect of his power angered the vampire. Right on cue, Diego charged at the dhampire but all Michael did was swing his body to the right and Diego's sword missed him by foot. Michael then reached up and grabbed Diego's arm with his free hand. Michael then twisted it until there was a snap; Diego howled in pain and dropped his weapon. Michael smirked. "Give up, Diego… you are not going to win this fight."

"Ah, that maybe true," said Diego, as he threw a punch with his free hand but Michael just blocked it with the hilt of his katakana. "But you won't win the war." Michael lifted an eyebrow at the statement. Then he dodged another punch from Diego. Diego finally twisted away from the dhampire and wrenched his arm free. Both men started circling each other again. Diego was cradling his injured arm.

"Really now? What makes you think that?" asked the dhampire. Michael was curious about the statement because Diego said it with such a calm, not cocky, confidence. What did this vamp know about the situation that he did not?

"The love triangle that involves Benson is going to be your downfall." He growled as he leapt at the startled Michael. Curse him! Michael had not expected Diego to actually say what his advantage was. This threw him off guard for a moment but he quickly recovered and dodged his attack. Then Michael saw what Diego's true intention had been. Diego whirled around brandishing his sword in his uninjured hand. He took a swipe at Michael. Michael tried to dodge it but he was not fast enough. The sword caught the flesh of his abdomen above his navel. Michael hissed in pain. The ruby colored liquid was already starting to seep from the wound. Diego grinned. The wheels in Michael's head were already turning. Diego was right. This little love triangle between Olivia, Elliot, and the vampire Lilith formerly known as Kathy Stabler was going to get out of hand. Elliot would never accept that his wife was no longer his wife but a monster. Then on the other hand, Olivia would never want to lose Elliot's friendship, she would not want to be honest with Elliot or do whatever it takes to keep him out of Diego's hands. Michael knew that he was going to have to dig into some old wounds to make sure that Olivia was going to be prepared to sacrifice whatever it took to make sure that the world stayed safe. But Michael was still curious about why Diego let that little tidbit of information slip. As he clutched at his wound, he secretly healed it with some of his light magic. That was another advantage that the dhampire had over his full vampire opponent. They eyed each other as Michael finally asked,

"Why tell me the key to your plan?" Diego smirked.

"Because, you have a heart…" sneered the vampire. Michael frowned.

"What is that supposed to mean?" said Michael.

"You care too much… you wouldn't want your poor pupil to suffer pain like the pain you suffered. Am I right?" teased Diego. Michael's frown deepened. Then his eyes widened as realized what Diego was referring to. He narrowed his eyes and hissed ferociously. That low-life was making a stab at his brother.

"Shut up!" growled Michael throwing a quick punch at the vampire, whom had been laughing until Michael's strike caught him in the face and knocked him down. Michael had managed keep his cool until Diego brought up that forbidden subject. Diego ungraciously stumbled to his feet with a growl.

"Or is it because you do not care at all?" jeered Diego. Michael felt his blood go cold as raw rage coursed through him.

"How dare you--" started Michael in a low voice but Diego cut him off.

"I expose you for what you are? You never cared about your brother; because if you did you would have saved him… you don't care about Viper either. She is your rebound charge. You're just putting on an act to make everyone think that you are good but you are…" but Diego did not get to finish his thought because his windpipe had been clenched shut when Michael snatched the vampire off of his dead feet.

"Go ahead, please say it, so that I can put this sword through your chest!" cried Michael hysterically. Diego could only grin.

"You won't do it! Because you are not allowed to kill in cold blood and if you do, you will suffer an automatic eternity in hell and your family will be cursed until the end of time." Diego said gloatingly. Michael tightened his grip on the vampire's throat. Michael was not in his right state of mind, he was red eyed and baring six inches of fang. He then brought up his katakana and struck Diego across the temple with the hilt so hard that black blood began to creep from the gash it had made. Diego went limp and Michael threw the unconscious form to the ground in disgust. He had to get out of that graveyard before he did something real dumb. Just as he took a step he heard a plea for help. He gasped as he recognized the voice…

As the light blinding Olivia and Lilith began to dissipate, Olivia felt a weight enter her hands and her fingers automatically closed around the handle of something. She looked down and saw that she was holding a pair of sais. The handles were silver with sapphires at the end of their hilts. The blades had a cross etched into each of them. The weight of the fighting instruments was perfect. All of a sudden, she heard her adra's voice in her head,

'Viper, these weapons are yours. The one in your right hand is Michael, like the archangel. This weapon will cause anything to explode on impact if you say "fire" . The weapon in your left hand is Gabriel, like the messenger angel. This weapon can heal wounds of any severity but it cannot revive the dead, unfortunately. Both have more unique powers of their own and some neat combo tricks but I don't have time to tell you about them because… HERE SHE COMES!' Olivia snapped her head up and saw that Lilith was indeed running at her. She instantly brought the sais up to defend herself and grunted as Lilith's blades crashed up against her sais. She fought to keep her balance as Lilith applied more pressure to her weapons. Olivia hands began to shake from the effort. She slowly brought her right leg up and kicked Lilith in the abdomen. The female vampire flew backwards and landed on the concrete. Olivia quickly scrambled to her feet and got into a fighting stance. Lilith's weapons were lying on the ground on far ends of the roof. Viper took her chance and ran towards the fallen vampire. She launched herself into air with one of her sais posed to hit Lilith in the heart. But right before she made contact with the unconscious vampire, the woman before her changed. Lilith now looked just like she did when she was alive. Olivia jerked back. She landed at Lilith's feet and growled. She kept seeing Kathy and not the vampire. Viper felt tears coming into her eyes. She knew that deep down she wanted Kathy to be alive again… she wanted her own life to be normal again. But that would never happen. But Olivia knew what would happen, Lilith would wake up and kill her.

She crawled forward and knelt over the unconscious vampire. She raised Gabriel over her head and brought down to strike Lilith in the heart but her hands stopped an inch above Lilith's chest as an anguished cry crawled out of her throat. She could not get her partner's deceased wife from her head. She could not bring herself to kill the vampire. She finally felt tears start to fall down her face. She tried to swallow the lump that was forming in her throat but failed. She started hiccupping as sobs racked her body. Gabriel clattered to the ground as she covered her face and wept.

Meanwhile, Lilith started to stir. Her hand twitched and the armed blades were covered with a black mist before they disappeared and reappeared in Lilith hands. She slowly lifted her hand and launched a quick strike to Olivia's abdomen. She grinned maliciously as she eyed the end of her blade protruding from Olivia's back. The attack had happened so fast that Olivia had not even have time to cry out in pain. Olivia only made gurgling as blood started to leak from her mouth. Lilith's grin only grew wider as she raised her leg and kicked Olivia; which sent her flying off of the blade, into the air, and onto her back. Olivia coughed and sputtered but did not move to get up. Lilith lifted her legs up and used them to propel herself back onto her feet. She eyed Olivia's discarded weapons and dismissed her own weapons which disappeared in two clouds of black mist. She gracefully bent down picked up the two weapons quickly and sauntered over to the injured dhampire's side. She crouched down next to Olivia and leaned down near her ear and whispered,

"These are beautiful weapons, you could say that they are a little too hot for me to handle," she purred as she laid the weapons beside herself as she felt the silver grow hot in her hands, "But I am a fair sport. You see, little halfling, when a vampire defeats another vampire in battle, they claim their opponents weapon or weapons. But since this is your first fight, we will call it a draw. How does that sound, sweetheart?" Lilith picked up Michael and turned it over her hand before she pulled out a black handkerchief, wrapped it around the blade, and slid it into her back pocket. Olivia groggily stared at her aggressor through half-lidded eyes. Lilith then picked up Gabriel. "And you can keep this one!" she snarled before she shoved the sai into the wound that she had already made. Olivia screamed in agony as Lilith dragged the weapon up her body as if she were gutting a pig. Just as the weapon was nearing her rib cage, Viper felt heat build up in her tortured body before a blinding white light exploded from her body. Lilith let out a piercing scream as the light torched her flesh. She scrambled backwards, struggled to her feet, and turned to run from the scene but was stopped abruptly when she ran into a freakishly large furry leg.

Lilith stumbled backwards and cautiously gazed into the fierce gold eyes of a male werewolf that was easily as big as two semi trucks stacked on top of one another. All Lilith could do was utter a pitiful whimpering sound. She had been severely burned and weakened by the light blast earlier. The pale beauty had a huge scorch mark that covered most of her face and all of her right arm, which hung limply at her side. She knew that could not defeat the massive beast on her own. So, she did the next best thing, she ran. But before she had even moved a good three steps away, she bumped into something else. She looked up to see that she had run into the same beast. How had that monster moved so fast? She whirled around again when she heard a familiar voice speak.

"Lilith, my dear, you look a mess." said Michael. Lilith glared at the dhampire. She tried to take a swing at Michael with her left hand but Michael easily sidestepped the punch and snatched the sai from her back pocket, in one smooth motion. He then delivered a powerful roundhouse kick to her face. She landed unceremoniously on her back. She growled in annoyance as she struggled to her feet again. She glared at the cheeky dhampire and he just laughed. She hissed at him but Michael continued to laugh until he had to breathe, then he said, "You better run home sweetie, because I don't think that daddy would like for the sun to beat you home." The vampire bared her fangs one last time before disappearing. Michael turned to greet the werewolf.

"Michael, my friend, getting into trouble as usual, I see." said the werewolf before he made a swift and graceful transformation back into a slightly shorter than average sized male with medium skin and black, wavy hair. Michael just smiled coyly and replied,

"Hey 'Meides. Thanks again for your help." (pronunciation: MY-des)

"Of course, I just love helping you clean up your messes." replied Alchemeides Magi (pronunciation: Al-ka-my-des; does the last name look familiar?). Michael's smile only widened. But that smile quickly faded as he spotted his unconscious ward. He ran to her side and shook her awake. He slowly looked over her body making sure that she wasn't badly injured. But fortunately, the sai that Lilith used to injure Viper with was Gabriel. Gabriel's healing abilities activate when it is pressed against a wound. So when Lilith stabbed Viper with it, Gabriel instantly went to work healing her wounds. So now the only evidence of her ordeal was her ripped clothing. After a moment, Viper began to stir. Michael slowly moved her into a sitting position.

"Are you feeling okay?" asked Michael softly. Viper nodded uncertainly. By then Meca had arrived on the scene and Michael turned Viper over to the doctor with nary another word, except to ask Meca to make sure that Viper returned home safely. As Meca pulled Olivia off of the concrete, Michael drifted back over to Alchemeides's side with a heavy sigh.

"Is all well with your soul, my friend?" asked the kind Wolf ('Wolf' is a term used to refer to the werewolf population, more on this later).

"As well as a tortured soul can be." moaned Michael. Alchemeides looked at his dhampire friend skeptically.

"Then Michael, you either did not understand my question or you are becoming too sardonic for your own good. But from the sounds of it, all is not well with your soul." replied Alchemeides smartly. Michael did not respond to his friend's obvious probing. Alchemeides instantly picked up on his normally chatty friend's silence. "Okay then, let's talk about your favorite diversion, work. So, learn anything new?"

"Yeah, a lot actually. Diego wants to fulfill the DayWalker Prophecy, believing that it will hand him Lamar's former Lord seat." grumbled Michael. Alchemeides watched his friend's disposition worsen. Alchemeides was truly beginning to believe that Michael had made a terrible mistake by working cases so soon after "that" incident. Michael had been becoming more introverted since he took on this case. The wolf knew that something was eating his friend from the inside out but he refused to talk about. But, unfortunately he also knew that things like this could not be rushed.

"Oh, what does this prophecy entail?" asked Alchemeides.

"It is rumored that if a male vampire impregnates a female with vampire blood, the monster that will be produced will have an awesome but horrific power." said Michael. Alchemeides furrowed his eyebrows in confusion.

"What power is that?" he asked.

"If that day walker is born, he will have the power to eclipse the sun! If that happens… the human race will become extinct within a year…" said Michael. Alchemeides felt his heart plummet into the deepest pit of his stomach.

"B-but I do not understand, my friend was does Viper and her friends have to do with this?" inquired Alchemeides.

"Viper is the carrier, Lilith is the bait for the sperm donor, and the donor is Elliot." Michael said simply.

"Well, that explains a lot." murmured the man beside Michael.

"Yep." Michael muttered.

"This is the strangest case that we have seen yet, my friend." said the Wolf.

"That is for sure…" said Michael as he walked to the edge of the building and stared out at the city around him…

All right! That is all I can give you guys for now! Please review! They motivate me! But anyway, hopefully this story will be wrapped up within 4-5 more chapters! Thanks again for all you support!

Snippet:

…"You mean that we have to sacrifice Elliot?!" screamed Olivia…
