Alright, here comes a new chapter. There will be another up when I get back from work too.
Remember, reviews = updates
Jjrobers#- your welcome and I'll keep it up for as long as people keep reviewing.
I think I am finally hitting my stride with this. I already know how it will end and I am planning a tentative sequel…
Yeah…I need a life….
"My rabbit is at Adam's place," Mercy said. At least Stefan looks a lot better now than last time I saw him, Mercy thought.
"Well, that shouldn't be a problem since I have a vehicle parked not too far away", Stefan said sounding more than a little guilty.
"But your car's still at Mercy's shop, "Jesse glanced between the pair, "isn't it?" She got a nod of acknowledgment from Stefan before they carried on the conversation seemingly forgetting she was even there.
"It's one of the Seethe's cars; Marsilia is being very…generous lately. But we should go now, I don't like being out in the open with Wulfe and who knows who else hunting you." Stefan said, turning to lead the pair away. He knew Wulfe was still around because Wulfe was letting him know. He'd probably just gone out of sight then double-backed silently to watch the rest of the conversation.
Jesse followed obediently, or started to anyway, except Mercy hadn't moved so she stopped again. "Come on, Mercy. Let's get out of here before the other one shows up again." Jesse turned to look back as did Stefan when he noticed.
"What is wrong Mercedes, are you finally afraid of me? You should be you know, I'm---"Stefan began angrily. He hadn't gone through so much to protect her just to have her killed now.
"You're what, Stefan," Mercy said tauntingly, "Dangerous? You've been around at least 200 years and can't come up with anything better than that? And I don't believe for a minute that you're a danger to me." She said and wondered if this time she had gone too far.
Stefan just stood there and Mercy couldn't tell what he was feeling. Other then vampire and popcorn, there were no scents around him to judge by. That was one of the things that annoyed her about vampires in general.
"Annoying isn't it?" Stefan said, guessing at what she was looking for. "You can't scent any emotions from me but I…can smell yours easily as a human's." Stefan grinned mischievously his eyes glowing red the same as Wolfe's had but without any intentions behind them, "You have no idea what I am capable of. You think you know but you do not. One of these days you may even find out, though I really hope not."
Jesse looked between the pair, "I certainly hope not," She mumbled.
"I'll explain later Mercy, just come with me for now." Stefan said running short on patience, it had been a trying night and he had the feeling he was in for more trouble yet. He watched in relief as Mercedes decided to stop arguing and the pair caught up to him.
Mercy followed as Stefan walked them over to a big shiny black Mercedes of all things, causing her to roll her eyes at Jesse, who laughed in response. Stefan of course, couldn't see what was going on behind him but figured he could guess.
"It's a Seethe car, I didn't choose it." Stefan said, attempting to sound serious and failing miserably.
"I know, I work on them all the time remember?" Mercy replied.
"I think Marsilia may be a bit… jealous of my attentions towards you Mercy. She was the one who handed me the keys." He explained, trying not to laugh. After all, the Fae weren't the only ones with a love of ironies.
"A bit petty isn't it?" Jesse said. That sat them to laughing at the Mistress' expense; even Stefan couldn't help but grin. In that light-hearted mood, Stefan opened the door for them and the girls climbed in, with Mercy shaking her head at who old fashioned Stefan could be.
Wulfe, hiding from sight, was grinning too but for a completely different reason. He finally had figured out a weapon he could wield against the Soldier. Marsilia.
