Warehouse
Drak walked in to a large crimson room.
"X.A.N.A. winter break will be over in a few days… everyone is already back." Drak informed. "My team is ready to go when you give the order."
"No." X.A.N.A. replied simply. "I am going to take this opportunity to train two of my new teams."
"But sir-"
"You are dismissed Drak."
As Drak left two dark figures appeared behind X.A.N.A.
"Move out you have work to do." Just as mysteriously as they came they were gone.
Forest
Fang ran through the snow like a chicken with its head cut off. Erin was tired just watching the wolf. She leaned up against a near by tree, this was the first time she had been without Spike in a week. She had originally been called over to Spike's to take care of him (he caught a cold while walking home ch.13) while Lance and their adopted parents went to go take a look at some horses for the ranch.
Suddenly Fang stopped dead in his tracks and began to growl. Erin turned to try and see what Fang was growling at.
"Fang what are you mhmm-" Erin was cut short by someone holding a piece of cloth over her nose and mouth. Soon after she passed out.
Without a second thought Fang charged at the man now holding a limp Erin. Instead of hitting the man Fang a figure with what looked like bat wings came a kicked him in the chest.
"Sorry boy Tekira can't play right now, but I'm free" The figure saidFang looked closely at the creature in front of him. He looked about Erin's age with Brown hair, beep blue eyes, red bandanna, sleeveless crimson shirt, and black pants with red Japanese style dragons snaking up his legs. It was the inhuman parts that kept Fang on edge. Like the long the long sharp looking fangs, the black cat tail and bat wings, but what really kept him on edge was the X.A.N.A. logo burned into his forehead.
"(Come on Fang… lets have some fun)" He said (or thought or you know what I mean) before he raised his hand in front of Fang. Fang was more then confused. Suddenly he started to levitate.
"(Wha?… What the hell's going on!)"
The teenager just smirked as he whipped his hand towards a tree thus sending Fang into it causing the tree to fall.
"Hope I didn't kill him." He said as he walked towards the fallen tree. To his surprise Fang wasn't there. Suddenly Fang pounced on him growling viscously.
"(I'll kill you!)" Fang roared.
"Not yet." He replied as he kick Fang off of him. Fang quickly recovered but so did the mystery fighter. Fang launched himself into the air ready to strike down his opponent. The teenager put his hands together and shot a blast of white light at him sending him flying through another tree. "That got him." He walked over to see Fang in a heap on the ground. Fang lifted his head.
"(Wh… Who are you?)" Fang asked.
"Vamp." He replied simply as he turned to walk away.
"(Vamp)" Fang repeated before he fell limp.
Vamp walked back to Erin and the man holding her.
"Have a little trouble with the dog?" He asked.
"It was a wolf Tekira." Vamp replied.
"Whatever… go ahead and give her the stuff." Tekira replied as he propped Erin up beside a tree. Tekira looked about 18 with golden hair and orange eyes. He wore a black sleeveless haori and hakama, two lengthened jittes with dragons wrapped around the blades hung on his belt.
Vamp knelt down beside Erin with a needle filled with a lavender liquid inside. He injected the liquid into her neck then got up and turned to leave. Tekira followed him.
"I don't understand why we just don't take her now." Tekira said confused.
"It is not our place to question X.A.N.A.'s methods." Vamp replied.
"I would never question him. I just wonder why we don't do it now."
"Be patient Tekira all will be reviled soon enough." Tekira just growled he hated waiting.
Later
Fang awoke and looked around.
"(Erin…)" He thought as he looked around. He finely saw her, she looked like she was beginning to come to. Fang got up his body still ached from Vamp's attack. He slowly made his way to Erin. She groaned and began to wake up.
"Uhhh Fang? Wha… What happened?" She asked.
"Well I got my tail kicked by a wannabe vampire. And as for you… I have no idea."
"Well lets get back to school, and no telling Spike about it. He'd never let me out of his sight again. He barley lets me out of his sight now."
Later that day in Erin and Yumi's dorm (It's like 9:00 pm)
Erin laid on her bed still tired from the earlier events of the day. Fang laid beside Yumi letting her scratch his head.
The next day at noon
The whole group was by the soccer field talking.
"Awe the select days before school starts up again." Lance said as they walked around. Spike looked at Erin who hadn't said much the whole day.
"You alright Erin?" He asked obviously concerned.
"I'm fine Spike just a little ti-" Erin didn't have a chance to finish. Pain had managed to stop her she clutched he chest and fell to the ground. Spike knelt down beside her and pulled out a needle and injected some fluid into her. But this time was different, Erin didn't pass out this time. Spike had a very worried look on his face. Erin clung to his arm she was worried too. That only made Spike even more scared.
"Well don't just stand there… call an ambulance!" He shouted. Yumi pulled out her cell and dialed 911.
"Yes hello." Yumi said. "My friend has a heart problem. She needs help." Spike looked down at Erin who appeared to be shaking. Spike thought it was because of the pain. Then it hit him she was still laying in the snow. Spike carefully put Erin into a sitting position and held hoping that it would be enough to keep her warm, for he knew he couldn't pick her up when she was like this. "We're at Kadic Academy in the back by the soccer field." Yumi finished up and hung up the phone. "They'll be here as soon as they can." She said. Spike still held Erin close to him.
15 min later
The ambulance had finally come. Spike didn't like the way the medics handled Erin. They practically tore her out of Spikes grasp. Fang jumped into the ambulance and Spike ran to the parking lot to get his bike.
At the hospital
Everyone had waited in the in the waiting room for about an hour and a half. Just then the Jeremy, Odd and Lance went for a walk wile Yumi Ulrich and Spike continued to wait. Suddenly Fang came out of the ER with the doctor.
"Are you with a miss Erin Folx." He asked. They all nodded. "And is there a Mr. Spike here?"
"That's me." Spike said as he stood up.
"What is your relationship with her?"
"I'm her boyfriend. Why?" Yumi and Ulrich were both shocked when did Spike and Erin go to that status.
"She was mumbling your name." The doctor replied.
"Can I see her?" Spike asked.
"…Fine right this way." Spike followed the doctor into the ER.
"How is she?"
"I'll be honest… not good. It took us a wile to get her stabilized. There was extensive damage done to her heart. I would need to do surgery as soon as possible. But I would need the go ahead from her sister in-law or this Leo Forex."
"That's me." Spike said. The doctor looked at him. "My nickname is Spike my real name is Leo." Spike took out his driver's license and showed the doctor.
"So do I have the go ahead?" He asked as they both entered Erin's room. Spike's blood ran cold. Erin was hooked up to a heart monitor, respirator, and ivy. Spike forced himself to stay calm. He got down beside her and held her hand.
"I'm sorry Erin." He whispered. "What kind of surgery are we talking about?"
"Open heart." The doctor replied. Spike tried not to cry as he nodded. "You know the risks right?"
Spike nodded. "Yeah."
"Alright you need to leave now, we need to get her prepped for surgery."
With Yumi
"Where's Ulrich?" Spike asked. Seeing only Fang and Yumi.
"He's trying to find the guys. How's Erin?" Yumi asked.
"She's going in for surgery." He replied.
"Are you okay?"
"I'll be okay." Spike replied sadly. Just then the guys came in.
"Hey Spike." Lance said happily. "So when's Erin coming home?" Spike looked to the ground, leaving a confused Lance.
12 hr. Later (it's probably less or more but work with me okay)
Erin came out of surgery and was placed in her own room. Spike never left the hospital wile everyone else left and came back after the surgery was done. Spike sat beside Erin hoping she would wake up before he fell asleep.
"Hey Spike how about I stay here while you leave with everyone else?" Lance suggested.
"I don't want to leave her here."
"Spike I'll call you if Fang thinks she's going to wake up okay."
"Fine…" Spike said as he got up to leave.
Outside
"So when did you and Erin start going out?" Yumi asked.
"Never… it's just something I tell the doctor to get in to see Erin." Spike said with a grin.
Later that night
Yumi was sleeping when she heard something in the hallway. She got up and looked out her door to see Vamp, Tekira, and Stalker. She tried to scream but no words would come out.
"This is going to be easy." Stalker said as he advanced towards her. Somehow Yumi managed to run past all three and down the hallway towards Ulrich's room. Once she got there she started to bang on his door. Suddenly someone grabbed her and pulled her back.
"Ulrich!" She screamed.
In Odd and Ulrich's room
Ulrich woke up suddenly after hearing Yumi scream (how no one else heard that I'll never know). He ran out to see Stalker dragging Yumi away.
"Let her go!" He yelled. As he kicked Stalker in the ribs causing him to let go of Yumi. Just the Tekira grabbed Ulrich by his shirt (He slept with his cloths on) and threw him half way down the hallway. At that time Spike came out saw Ulrich on the floor and the three guys with Yumi.
Before Spike even knew what he was doing he slid on his gloves, dug both of them into Stalker's back and kicked the other two into the wall. After he had made sure Yumi was away from them he jumped back. As soon as Ulrich got up he was attacked by Vamp. Ulrich did his best to fend him off but it was no use. The same could have been said for Spike and Tekira.
Suddenly Tekira whipped out his jittes as soon as he did they began to glow with purple energy. Just then Tekira seemed to disappear. Spike saw a purple blur coming towards him. He moved to the side as fast as he could but the strike ended up leaving a large gash on the side of his stomach. The pain was like nothing Spike had ever felt before. He knelt down holding his side Tekira raised his jittes ready to kill Spike.
Suddenly Vamp shot Ulrich with the same white light he had hit Fang with earlier. He grabbed Yumi, and pushed her into Tekira thus stopping him from killing Spike.
"Get her into the car!" Vamp yelled.
Tekira picked Yumi up by the waist and began to run.
"Ulrimgh!" Yumi tried to scream before Tekira coverd her mouth with his free hand.
Outside
All four got into a black SUV (Tekira was still hanging onto Yumi).
"Floor it!" Tekira Yelled.
With the boys
When Ulrich got up Spike was already up with his trench coat wrapped around his side.
"Come on if Yumi's gone then that means Erin's gone too." Spike stressed as he grabbed Ulrich to go to the Hospital.
Hospital
When Spike and Ulrich got to Erin's room cops were every where. Spike looked in to see a sword run throughLance's leg thus pinning him to the floor. Fang had an arrow though the scruff of his neck pinning him to the wall. Needless to say Erin was gone.
"Erin…" Spike said.
