Chapter 2: Mystery of the Past
As night fall fell on over Old City, Kate could not get Special Agent Lionheart out of her head. It wasn't uncommon for her to find attraction to someone, but this was different they way he stared at her seemed to peer into her very soul. That feeling she hadn't gotten over as she lay in her bed thinking of him. Just then Will runs into her room.
Kate looked at him and said, "What's wrong?"
Will looked at her and said, "There is no Special Agent Lionheart."
Kate's eyes narrowed and said, "What he showed me a badge and everything. I should have known it was fake."
Will said, "Trust me the strange thing is that there is a mention of him at every crime scene. Magnus thinks that he is a reporter or someone involved in the case."
Henry came by and said, "There was another attack. Will, Magnus wants you to and Kate to go just so you can capture Lionheart and bring him back so we can find out who he is.
They both nodded and went to the van and drove to the crime scene.
They arrived at the crime scene and people had gathered around to witness the gruesome scene. Kate saw in the crows Lionheart staying back, watching the cops look over the scene. He then turned and walked into an alley way. She tried to get Will's attention but he was talking to a detective, so she decided to follow Lionheart. He was walking through the darkness and all of a sudden a black shadow appeared in front of Lionheart. She ducked behind a piece of wood so it did not see her. Then a voice that sounded extremely demonic echoed through the alley.
The voice said, "Drake, I guess we are at another battle. All I need is one more person to become fully caporal once more.
Lionheart said, "I will never let that happen Darkness."
The voice said, "I love that name you gave me, Darkness. I am the essence of your darkness Drake, how I know you better than you."
Lionheart said, "You may very well know me, but evil never wins."
The voice just laughed and said, "The cabal, Hitler, shall I go on. They won for a while because of me! You will fall Drake, and I will take those willing to be in the darkness and bring down the world."
Lionheart glared and said, "That will never happen." The dark entity vanished into the shadows from where it came.
Lionheart pounded his fist against the wall, and as he heard the wood that Kate was hiding behind fall. He turned and moved faster than she could get up and he pushed her against the wall.
Drake said, "What did you hear?" His eyes pierced the black night; she could see the color of fire in the night
Kate said, "Nothing! I just heard voices and I came down to see."
Drake was not convinced the sound of her heartbeat meant she was lying, and then he heard gunfire and felt the bullet pierce his side. He dropped Kate and ran off.
Will ran to Kate and said, "Are you okay?" Kate just nodded and said, "He knows who is doing this. We need to find him." They ran in the direction of where Drake had run off to but when they turned the corner he was gone.
Back at the Sanctuary Kate began look at the marks that Drake left on her neck, they were finger bruises. She remembered that he lifted her up as if she was lighter than a feather. Bigfoot said, "You should be careful." Kate just shrugged it off, because now she could not stop thinking about Drake.
Magnus said, "Darkness is the creature that is killing people. I have looked through my father's journals and my records and could not find any record of the creature." Bigfoot got stiff and walked off as if he knew of the creature. Magnus decided to say, "Do you know something old friend?"
Bigfoot said, "I do but cannot tell you? Was sworn to secrecy."
Magnus knew that if someone could make him do that then this was a powerful abnormal. Kate then began to search the internet, for Drake Lionheart. There was several links to him on Google so she decided to search for pictures. As she clicked on one that was based on a WWII foot, she saw Drake. It was not another man with the same name. It was Drake, dressed just like he was when she saw him the first time, except with a hat resembling that of a general. She ran down the hall and showed Magnus.
Magnus said, "Are you sure this is the man you saw?"
Kate said, "Yes, exactly the man I saw? What is he?"
Magnus said, "I remember meeting him, after the war. If this is the man you saw the Americans viewed him as a super solider. From what I gathered he was a man that they called upon for special operations."
Kate asked, "What kind of operations?"
Magnus said, "It was rumored that Hitler was doing experiments on abnormal to create soldiers. Apparently, what I believe they called him in to take care of the situation."
Kate said, "So he's a badass?"
Magnus said, "Yes and if he is here then we should stay out of his way.
Kate just sat and thought that she should find out more about him. Drake fascinated her, more than any man could. While Magnus thought that if Drake was an abnormal he has a power of a vampire, speed like a lycanthropy. So what kind of abnormal could he be? That was the million dollar question.
