Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Blade Trinity or any of its original characters. Nor do I own or have any affiliation with the comic books or the movies. That being said…..this is fan fiction and its only for fun and writing practice.

So here is the second chapter. I was kinda hoping that id get some feedback but no luck yet. I do realize that it was only a movie and that its popularity has seemed to die out. Hopefully there are still some Hannibal/Abby fans out there. So here it goes…Hope you like it.

"Hey King wake up." Abby said as she walked into the living room. The only thing they had set up in the living room was the couch which Hannibal had made his temporary bed until they got things unpacked.

Hannibal slowly opened his eyes and looked around the fairly dark room. "What time is it?" He groaned as he sat up and ran his fingers through his messy hair.

"It almost nine in the morning." Abby said. She sat down on the couch beside him and sighed with relief. "Zoey's all registered for school. She starts tomorrow."

"When did you do this?" Hannibal asked, still clearly half asleep.

"King…I've been up since five. I've gotten a lot of things done." Abby said. "We still have to get everything brought in and unpacked…..not to mention the cleaning this house needs."

"Abby……what ever happened to relaxing a little. Isn't that the reason why we came out here in the first place." Hannibal said as he watched Abby pace back in forth between the living room and the kitchen.

"King…..this stuff needs to be done." Abby said.

"Yeah but it doesn't need to be done right now." Hannibal said. "The only thing that needed to be done today was getting Zoey registered for school and you have that taken care of. Now….would you stop pacing and relax a little."

Abby stopped at the edge of the living room and took a deep breath. "Speaking of which….where is Zoey?" Hannibal asked with a puzzled look on his face.

"She's at the school. They're having her go through this orientation thing where she goes around and sits in on the class and meets the teachers and her classmates." Abby said. "We have to pick her up at three."

"Okay……now what do you say we get a look around the neighborhood some more." Hannibal said. Clearly what he said took her by surprise because the look on her face was priceless. She was in shock.

Was he really suggesting that they take a walk? That wasn't like him after all. Why was he acting this way? Why was he being so nice to her after the attitude that she pulled with him the night before? She did apologize but she didn't think that everything would just be hunkey dorey with him.

"Are you suggesting we…." She had to pause for a minute to process her thoughts. "Are you suggesting we take a walk?" She had a skeptical look on her face.

"Why not?" Hannibal said.

"Because…like you said that we don't do nice……we don't do walks." Abby said.

"Maybe we should start." Hannibal said. "And besides….I'd like to get a look around and see the neighborhood. You know…..and I could meet our neighbors that live across the street."

XXXXXXXXXX

"So this is where our neighbors live" Hannibal said as they stood on the doorstep waiting for someone to answer the door. "Sweet." The house was quite impressive. Big but not too big and it reminded Hannibal of the house he grew up in as a kid.

Suddenly the door opened and Julia appeared in the doorway. on in." Julia said with a smile on her face as she let Abigail and Hannibal walk by her into her house. "So who is this?" She asked Abigail with a smile on her face.

"This is Hannibal." Abby said with a small smile on her face.

"Nice to meet you." Julia said as she held out her hand for him to shake.

Hannibal shook her hand. "Nice to meet you too." Abby knew that he was forcing the smile. The truth was…..they didn't know the people and that made Hannibal uneasy. Especially with the background that they had of hunting vampires or in Hannibal's case, being a vampire.

"Tom should be back any minute now. He went to the store for some bread." Julia said. Suddenly, a car drove into the drive way. "As a matter of fact….that him right now." After a few seconds of waiting, Tom walked in the front door.

"Hun…Abigail is here and this is…" Her sentence was cut short when she was interrupted by Tom.

"King Shit!" He said. "Aren't you a sight for sore eyes."

"Hey man." Hannibal said as he shook Tom's hand. "How's it going?"

"Pretty good." Tom said. "You know…I knew that voice sounded familiar yesterday."

"Well…this is a small world." Abby said. It was weird that they move to the middle of nowhere and the neighbors across the street knew who Hannibal was. It wasn't a bad weird….it was a good weird.

XXXXXXXXXX

Later on that night……Julia went back to the house to help Abigail with some of the decorating stuff like moving furniture in place and hanging things on the walls and stuff. Meanwhile, Hannibal stayed at the Tom and Julia's house to have a few beers with Tom and catch up on old times.

"So tell me dude, what ever happened to you four years ago?" Tom said. "Last time I saw you, all of us were at the bar and you picked up this really hot brunette and you left with her."

Suddenly an image of Danica flashed in Hannibal's mind. "Bad mental picture." Hannibal said in a low voice with a disgusted look on her face. "That's three years of my life I don't wanna relive."

"Three years…holy shit." Tom said. "You spent three years with that hottie?"

"Longest three years of my life." Hannibal said as he took a sip of his beer.

"And now look at you….off living in the middle of nowhere." Tom said.

"Oh believe me, If there was any reason to stay in the city I would." Hannibal said. "Too bad there's nothing left to hunt." Oh shit! Hannibal thought to himself. Did I really just say that? that's going to raise a few questions out of him.

"Hunt?" Tom asked with a puzzled look on his face. What the hell was Hannibal talking about? Was there even anything to hunt in the city? And there is only certain times during the year to hunt…so why would he leave? Nothing was making any sense.

"Never mind." Hannibal said. Tom was always one of his closest friends but how could he explain things to him? There really wasn't any way to explain it. How could he tell him that that hott brunette that he picked up at the bar turned him into a vampire and used him as her little pet for three years until Abigail found him and saved his life? If he told him that, the normal reaction would be that there is no such thing as vampires and now there is? He would have no proof because all of the vampires were dead.

"So….all domesticated now." Tom said. "What's up with that…..having a woman and a kid."

"Oh no…..Zoey's kind of adopted." Hannibal said. Kind of adopted…how in the hell could you be kind of adopted….you either were or you weren't. Either way….If Tom was anything how he was when they were younger….he would know what he meant."

Tom just nodded. "So I guess Abigail is kind of your girlfriend." he said with a smirk on his face.

"Yeah…something like that." Hannibal said and got a strange look from Tom. "Look….it's a really long and complicated story."

"I bet." Tom said just before taking a sip of his beer. "So….what do you think about the neighborhood so far?"

"To tell you the truth….all I've seen is out house and your house. Haven't met anyone else and haven't been anywhere else on the street." Hannibal said. "But tomorrow when Zoey's in school…me and Abby will be exploring the neighborhood some."

"Sounds like a plan." Tom said.

So there is chapter 2. It's kind of short compared to the last chapter. I haven't gotten any reviews yet but I'm always hopeful. Either way…I'm still going to continue it weather I get reviews or not.
