Chapter 2! Read…now
"Blade." Thistle hissed jumping out of the cart with her tiny hands in fists.
"Let her go. She's got nothing to do with this." Raven said standing next to her small blonde friend. "You're fight is with us, not her."
"Yea." Val agreed crossing his arms over his chest. "Unless you're low enough to kill an innocent girl, who barely knows us."
Blade smiled and shook his head, pulling the knife closer to her neck. "Why isn't this girl a beauty? Nice dark hair, and those eyes, sure is pretty."
Mary-Lynette closed her eyes and felt the little twinge in the back of her mind, something changing, something being unleashed. She opened her eyes and gave the gang members a small smile before turning her eyes to Blade. "You know, you're quite the looker yourself." She purred batting her eyes softly. "You don't need a knife to make me stay either; I'll stay if I want to."
Blade took a step back pulling Mary-Lynette with him, his eyes widening. "I…I don't?"
"Course you don't sweetie. Now why don't you put that big knife down…" Mary-Lynette dropped her eyes and looked up bashfully. "For me?"
Blade looked at her then back at his gang members then down at her, nodding. "Sure, anything for you." He pulled the knife away from her slowly and let her turn around to finally get a good look at him.
He was bald, probably shaved his head, with a scar over his left eye that shut it forever, the other was brown nearly black and sticking out of his pink eyelids widely. His teeth were crooked and he had his mouth in a twisted smile, this was going to be easy.
"Now close your pretty eyes so I can give you what a strong, handsome man like you deserve." Mary-Lynette whispered in a low voice, which sent a pleasure of shivers up his spine. He did as she was asked, letting his hands fall at his sides, nearly dropping the knife, Mary-Lynette walked close and pulled her hand across his cheek softly, so that the knife, finally fell from his hands.
"Don't blink." She whispered then fell onto her knees grabbing the knife then slicing his leg from ankle to knee as she stood. His eyes rolled into the back of his head as he grab bed his injured leg allowing him to double over, making him an easy target for her to knee in the face. He fell back with a thwack and Mary-Lynette turned around in a slow circle, "Okay. Who's next?"
Three men charged at her each of them grabbing onto one of her limbs, except her right leg which she jumped off from and kicked the one holding her left in the nose, the satisfying crunch of cartilage only filled her furriery more. Landing onto her feet she jumped down top her knees smashing the two holding her arms to crash into each other then onto the ground when Mary-Lynette dashed out of the way. She turned and nearly got clipped in the face by a big body builder who threw a punch and left his hand wide open in the air for her to grab onto and twist till it cracked. She let go and he clutched it staring from his hand to her until she gave him a round house kick to the face.
More people were on her tail charging at her with knives of their own, but without thinking Mary-Lynette jumped and dug her knife into the wall, still holding onto the edge when they came her legs were just a blur as she kicked them each into the head and they fell, but one who dodged grabbed onto her and pulled her and her knife down hard, smacking her head onto the concrete. A man grabbed her leg and pulled her hard ready to cut her throat, completely forgetting the knife she still held that was already lodged into his shoulder before he could say anything.
With a gasp Mary-Lynette stood and stared around the people she had hurt, and at the blood on her hands. She looked down at her feet too and saw that her legs were soaked in their blood also. Great. She thought wiping her hands on her jeans before turning to the three vampires that had just stood by and watched her attack them.
"I'm Mary-Lynette she said sticking out a slightly blood stained hand. "Pleasure to meet you."
"You just killed like ten street thugs, and now you introduce yourself?" Thistle asked taking a step forward carefully.
Mary-Lynette shrugged, "I might have hurt them, but they're still alive, breathing at least." She closed her eyes and felt the change again, rolling out her shoulders as she finally relaxed herself. She blinked her eyes opened softly and sighed walking over to Cassandra who was half sitting in the cart. You ready to go?" She asked softly.
Cassandra looked around blankly then nodded sitting herself into the cart.
"Okay…" Val said climbing onto his bike and revving his engine while Mary-Lynette sat onto the back of it and hesitantly wrapped her arms around his waist.
With a smile they took off out of the ally and blasted through the streets, causing people to turn as they passed. Something told Mary-Lynette that these people were dangerous, they had done things and they were not to be messed with. Why did they have people after them for crying out loud?
But at the same time, she felt safe which scared her even more. They had to have something to do with Circle Daybreak or something to do with the wild powers. Why else would she be clutching onto a random vampire biker that she just met to take her to who knows where? This is going to be interesting. Mary-Lynette thought softly, turning to look at Cassandra who was clutching onto the sides of her cart and laughing as the wind tangled through her red hair. Very interesting.
. . .
It turns out that a safe house isn't really an actually house, like some movies would tell you. The safe house reminded Mary-Lynette of Thierry's house, except bit was a bit quainter and a lot less ostentatious. It actually reminded her of a hospital, with its plain white walls and limited windows. It looked like it could hold a lot of people comfortably and keep them hidden behind the safety of its walls. When Mary-Lynette passed the gates something coursed through her being, unlike the way she felt when she had to protect herself, it was something safer that kind of made her feel more protected.
When, Val parked his cycle and Raven did the same, Mary-Lynette instantly leapt off, and helped Cassandra out, looked up at the building in awe.
"Yea." Val agreed holding Mary-Lynette's suit case in one hand and Cassandra's in the other. "It's big right?"
Mary-Lynette nodded, and held onto Cassandra's hand tightly. "It reminds me of Thierry's house."
Val turned around and stared at her, "You mean Lord Thierry? You know him?"
Mary-Lynette nodded still staring at the building. "I know a lot of people, actually. Hannah was nice."
"Wow." Thistle said appearing behind them. "You do get around."
Mary-Lynette shrugged and felt her hand being pulled, looking down she saw Cassandra looking up then back at the house.
"Can we?" She whispered.
Mary-Lynette nodded and whispered back a yes then they started walking to the large building.
Apparently it was like a hospital because the first place she ended up was a lobby with a check in desk and everything. The walls were white, and a few sofas were put into one end of the room so people, could watch TV. Quietly Mary-Lynette walked up to the desk and told the secretary their names.
"Oh." She said shaking her dark curly hair with a smile. Sorry, I didn't tell you exactly how you were getting picked up." She looked behind them at, Val, Thistle and, Raven. Who were standing in the doorway. "They didn't give you any trouble did they?"
Mary-Lynette heard a hiss from behind her but shook her head with a smile, "No, but I may have caused them, a tiny bit of trouble of trouble." Mary-Lynette turned and smiled at them who smiled back with a small wave and walked up next to her.
"Your rooms all ready?" Thistle asked trying to peer over the counter at the secretary's computer.
The woman shook her head and typed onto her computer, "They're still setting up, why don't you have a seat and wait for a bit?"
Mary-Lynette sighed and grabbed her suit case from, Val and sat down onto one of the couches with Cassandra, Thistle, Raven and Val following.
"So, Val asked leaning against the leather, "Why you need to come here? Either of you a wild power?"
Thistle punched him in the shoulder, "How can they be a wild power if neither of them used their blue fire?"
Val shrugged, "Sorry." He turned back to Mary-Lynette, "Why are you here?"
Mary-Lynette looked down, "For protection. Lily Redfern wants me, at the least to erase my mind, or maybe just to kill me. Either way, I'm not safe at home, or with my soul mate so I have to be here." She looked back up at Cassandra who was now talking to Raven. "We found her, underground where Lily kept me. She was taken from her dad, and her home was destroyed. She needs to be protected too."
They nodded knowingly. "Where'd you learn to fight like that?" Thistle asked leaning onto her small knees. "You were pretty good."
Mary-Lynette looked down and shrugged.
"Don't tell me, that was your first fight." Val insisted. "You were killer."
Mary-Lynette rolled her eyes. "That was not my first time, more like my second. First time I was fighting wolves."
Thistle's eyes widened. "You were fighting Werewolves your first time?"
Mary-Lynette nodded, "Two of them and a tiger."
Val's eyes widened too, "And your human right?"
His question should have insulted Mary-Lynette, but instead she nodded slowly. She had half was convinced to tell them the truth, that she didn't know how to fight, that something came over her and changed her when she was in danger but instead she just shrugged and said "Yea."
Before Val or thistle could make a joke, or say anything they froze and stood up. Looking over at Cassandra and Raven, she realized that Raven stood to. All three were looking off to the side, and when Mary-Lynette did herself, she saw two people, a pale girl with startling blue eyes and red hair, and a boy with dark curly hair and electric green eyes. Both were staring at Mary-Lynette.
