CHAPTER 18
Sabretooth stalked up to his room after his little run-in with Amara.
He liked her, he genuinely did, which was saying something in itself, but she was feisty, ruthless and cold-blooded, he would have been proud to have her as a daughter – but he wasn't the paternal kind.
He had been alive for over a century now, he was obviously a mutant, super strong and a quick healer, he had started life as a Viking – a murderer, but as his family and close friends, fellow warriors all got older around him and died, he remained young and strong. As the world around him changed, so did he. Viktor became more ruthless, more bloodthirsty and more dangerous.
And then he had met Raven and his life had changed.
Viktor had always been a solitary man and then he had met Raven, she was everything he wanted in a woman, ruthless, cold hearted, cold blooded, evil, strong and beautiful.
Viktor remembered their first meeting…
Viktor was in the deep woods in Southern California – he had been passing through when a fat-ass biker had decided to challenge Viktor to a fight – Viktor had immensely enjoyed the fight – he had also enjoyed killing the idiot, Viktor may have been a murderer, but he wasn't an idiot he didn't want to draw the attention of the police and the government – so he had dragged his prey to the woods where he had killed him slowly. He was a monster and he was proud of the label, there was nothing better than the smell of fear, quickly followed by the sweet smell of death.
He was tracking his way back out of the dense woodland when he smelled blood and fear that wasn't the residue of the biker. Intrigued he followed the scent.
He followed the smells to a clearing, when he heard a man shriek out he smiled despite the pain the sound had caused to his sensitive hearing. He made his way closer.
"Now, now Lieutenant Grayson, you didn't hear me make so much noise when you did the exact same thing to me, do try and be a man and stop snivelling you pathetic meat sack!" A woman's voice called out, Viktor was even more intrigued and made his way closer still.
He saw a beautiful blue skinned woman, she had short bright red hair and amber eyes, she was slender and athletic in build, she was wearing tight white leather trousers and a tight white top, both were smeared with the crying mans' blood.
Viktor smiled widely when he saw the beautiful woman maliciously break every one of the mans fingers.
"Grayson do stop snivelling, I haven't even started yet, and you remember everything you did to me in that lab over the past nine years? Well you're going to get it all back. Tonight." The woman said with a bright smile, and the man screamed again.
As dawn broke, the smell of blood, fear and something foul hung in the air and it was joined nicely by the stench of death.
The woman stood looking at the dead man and smiled in satisfaction.
"See that is the difference between homo-sapiens and homo-superior – us mutants – we last longer." The woman said and kicked the dead man once more.
"Hey blue – you need a hand with the clean up?" Viktor walked into the clearing, the woman had, had her fun but now he couldn't let her out of his life, she was his perfect match.
The blue woman jumped and immediately whipped out a lethal looking massive gun.
"Who the hell are you?" She asked angrily pointing the gun in his general direction and while it wouldn't kill him it would hurt like a bitch and he wasn't too keen on being shot.
"Hey no harm intended frail, names Viktor Creed, I was enjoying the show – so I thought I'd offer a hand in the clean up." Viktor said feeling even more impressed with the lethal woman.
"You're a mutant aren't you?" She asked getting a good look at him.
"I've been alive for a hell of a long time, not aged and heal real fast so yeah I guess I am." He said sarcastically.
"Good then get your mutant ass over here and help me shift this piece of crap!" She stated bossily.
Usually Viktor would rip someone's head off rather than be spoken to like that, but he just grinned and made his way over to the blue skinned woman.
Together they dumped the man in a ditch knowing that the wild animals would destroy the rest of the evidence for them.
"So what did that guy do to you?" Viktor asked.
"He worked for the government and kept me in a lab since I was sixteen, he tortured me – so I returned the favour." The woman said coldly.
"Fucking government!" Sabretooth said angrily, they were the one group that could probably take him out.
The woman looked at him appraisingly.
"Say, would you like to join my friend Erik and myself in our revenge?" She asked.
"What join you're little team against the government?" Viktor said mockingly.
"In a word yes." The woman said staring at him.
"Sure." Viktor replied, normally he would rather die than become a team player, but to be able to be around this woman all the time he was willing to give it a go, and if they got to kill people together – the better it would be.
"I'm Raven, or Mystique." Raven said holding out her elegant hand.
"Viktor Creed, or Sabretooth." He replied giving his Viking name that he had not used in a lifetime.
The pair shook hands and both knew that this would be the start of something interesting.
