-Two Months Later-
The moon was full over the projects of LA. Dim streetlights flickered over the sidewalks that were filled with people and the occasional prostitute. They were talking, laughing; things normal humans did. They were on their way to the clubs and bars, or on their way home from work. No one took a second look into the shadows. No one noticed the large, black, vampire hunter.
No one noticed the blonde vampire that was hunting him.
Ulyena sat atop an old, abandoned apartment building, watching Blade as he awaited his next victim. She followed him everywhere he went. From Prague to LA, she had stuck like a leach, barely ever letting him out of her sight. She had an advantage of never needing sleep since she was a vampire and she learned that if she used enough sunscreen, she could blend into society.
Blade and Whistler had migrated to America to get away from Prague, especially since there were close to three hundred bodies in Damiskinos's building by the time they were done and there happened to be cameras everywhere. Ulyena decided to follow them in hopes of avenging her lover's death. It didn't take long for her to realize that she had to wait for the right moment to strike. When Blade was at his most vulnerable, she would take him out.
Sometimes, she caught herself dreaming up ways to kill him. Perhaps torture him, then drain his blood and leave him to die? Maybe she could just blow his ass up like he had done to Scud. Either way, she would enjoy watching him perish. "After all," she said out loud to herself. "Revenge is bittersweet."
Yes, revenge would be sweet, but only bitter from her remembering the purpose behind it being so nice. Blade had killed the only man she had ever come to love. Sure, he had turned his back on Blade, but Scud probably did it to protect himself. Ulyena would never know the real reason, though. Blade had made sure of that.
Then she thought about her mother and how she would never meet the man that her daughter loved. After Ulyena had met up with the guard at the warehouse, she had taken her mother to the house where her father lived back in Moscow; the home that she had run away from. He promised that he would take care of Johanna since she had brought her back. Ulyena lied and told him that she would go after the man who did the horrible things to Johanna, because he probably wouldn't have agreed to take care of her if she had said otherwise.
She couldn't believe that she would never see Scud again. Ulyena wouldn't ever feel his skin on hers, or be able to look into his eyes while they made love ever again. She would never make love with him ever again. She missed the way his kisses felt, she loved the way he looked in the rain and she missed his smart remarks and the constant smell of pot around him.
While reminiscing, she failed to notice that Blade had slipped out of her sights. "Fuck." She said before leaping to the next building. She looked around again. "Where the hell did you go, you son of a bitch?" She asked in a whisper as her eyes scanned the area below her.
Suddenly, an arm was around her throat and holding her tight against a broad chest. He scent filled her nostrils as he spoke in his deep voice. "I'm right here." She couldn't speak because his grip was so tight. "You, of all people, should know better than to come after me, Ulyena. But, after all..." A sudden sharp pain filled her body as he shoved a silver stake through her back and into her heart. As she wilted away into ashes, she heard him finish her quote. "Revenge is bittersweet."
Damn, that one was a bit short, but I think it was a good one :) So, this story is done! I'll probably end up doing another Scud story, whether it be an OC, Blade, or maybe Chupa. I don't know, but I have to finish my other stories first so I don't get behind on them :) So, please review! And thanks for all the reviews, favorites and subscriptions for this! I enjoyed writing it! Love you guys!
