Vicki knew they were close without looking out the window: her marks had begun to burn, badly. So badly that she winced. Henry saw and heard her, looked at her wrists and put his cool lips on them. The pain subsided for a moment. The closer they got to the building, the more they burned. Vicki didn't care, she wanted this to be over.
"Mike, we can't go in without a plan. Clark, what do you propose and how do you kill a possessed fairy?" Vicki was all business, disregarding her severe pain. She had to find Kate and M.J., she would never forgive herself if something happened to them.
"First, we must bind him with magic. You and Kate and I can do that but with your marks, it may hurt. You may want your vampire to feed you first, it will give you strength. Then, once we banished him the portal must be closed forever. He cannot enter again without that particular portal, not ever."
Vicki hadn't felt the need to feed from Henry since before the twins were born. She wasn't sure how she would like it now. But she knew she had to take one for the team.
"Fine, but we need some privacy" Vicki shooed them out and instructed them to wait far away but not too far, she didn't want any casualties while she was "feeding".
"Ready?" Henry asked smiling, he enjoyed the feeding from Vicki just as much as she enjoyed it when he fed on her, in the same way.
"Henry, do you think I'll be able to tolerate it this time? I'm not pregnant, I haven't needed it.." Henry could tell she was worried.
"Think sweet thoughts my love," he kissed her first, then let his fangs slip. He had decided that while she fed, he would feed off of her to distract her. He didn't tell her because he knew she wouldn't agree to it, not with Mike so close.
He opened up his wrist and she bent down, hesitated, then closed her eyes and began..she was expecting metallic but he tasted like sugar cookies..THAT she could handle.
With vampire speed, he moved her hair and took her pulse into his mouth. They both enjoyed this little moment immensly, but not in a distasteful way, Henry wouldn't allow Vicki to be embarrassed in any way.
They pulled away from each other, Henry noticed Vicki's eyes were that silver color, the most beautiful color Henry had seen other than her natural green.
"Mmm, I bring out the best in you Victoria," he said so sure of himself.
"Debateable, maybe it's really the worst.." she smiled and Henry thought he saw a hint of small fangs..what?
He shook his head, no way..can't be..
They exited the vehicle and gathered to enter the building. It was abandoned now. It looked like something out of the old tv series Creature Feature..
Blade sniffed the air and nodded. Vicki looked at her marks, they had subsided somewhat. She showed them to Henry and he shrugged not knowing what was going on. They all entered the building with Vicki in between them so they could offer some protection. Mike had drawn his gun.
"No offense detective but that is useless here." Clark stated. Mike put it away. Suddenly they heard a baby cry.
"M.J.!!" Mike shot up the stairs like a rocket.
"NO! Mike stop!" Vicki and the others were right behind him.
Mike kicked the door to Norman's apartment so forcefully it splintered. M.J. was lying on the floor, Kate was lying next him not moving, not breathing..
"You bastard! " Mike rushed the little creature. So small yet so dangerous.
Mike was thrown into the wall and slid down with a thud. He was semi-concious.
"Well," the demon hissed out, "It's about time..my master has been waiting Vicki. Come and take your place among us. You and this child will be a vessel, then we will take the most powerful blood around..your babies.."
And it was on...
"NO-FUCKING-WAY-ARE-YOU-GETTING-ME-OR-MY-BABIES!! GO-BACK-TO-HELL-AND-STAY-THIS-TIME.." she made each word into it's own syllable, spatting it out through her gritted teeth and with that, Vicki grabbed Clark's hand, Clark grabbed Henry's and the made a cirlce. Kate was in no condition so they would have to call out Henry's magic, the magic he never used. Henry was more than willing in this instance, it might save his family as well.
Again, he could swear he saw a hint of small fangs in Vicki but what impressed him more was what he saw IN Vicki-
One bad-ass mamma-jamma and Asteroth was about to wish he had never come back...
