SerenityMorrison: thanks! I'm really glad its flowing well and that the underworld vibe is catching on well and it working well so far.

Guest (1): Damon's character was actually inspired by 'Damon Salvator' on the now finished 'The Vampire Diaries' series. No problem with the Q's, if it doesn't give away to much in the spoiler department I'll express it.

OrientalDanceGirl: more like expressing that it could have been like that all along but that his reputation meant to much to him to act on any type of desires like those. Yup…you'll find out… 😊 Damon was meant to be creepy, he has that vibe that makes you wonder if you can trust him or not. And I agree.

Mysticgrnbutterfly: wow! 😊 😊 so sweet of you. Good I'm doing my job well. I am glad the blend is working out well so far. I was skeptical at first due to the nature of it and the fact that I haven't done hardly anything in the area so your review, all of everyone's reviews have been very encouraging.

SerenityxEndymion: thanks! 😉

5 reviews, nice. I'm glad your all enjoying this. The reviews are really encouraging for me on this one as I haven't dove into this area before unless it was a short for the drabbles so seriously guys the reviews when I get them, highly encouraging on how you think of my vision for this story, its progression and how the characters develop in the process. This version of the characters are as in character as I can make them while still being merged with how they would be in this world of vampires and lycan's. Including difficult choices of the heart and the soul while doing the right thing and being logical so I'm happy that your all enjoying this. So please read and review!

A vampire's forbidden love Ch.4

Now

Usagi POV

I gazed out at the rain as it poured on the window I was looking out of. Dressed appropriately for weather and for the mission we were on I used my enhanced eye sight to view the apartment building we were scoping out. A horde of Lycan's were said to be in here. Newly turned ones to. The recent amount of populate Lycan's was causing the leaders of the vampire underworld to become concerned and so Rei and I had been sent out to find out why and take care of them.

We didn't protest as we had been wanting to get out into the city for months now. We had recently moved to Japan a few months back. Our coven had grown so fast over the last few decades that they decided to expand here. Damon, Rei and I were only three of over a hundred sent out to start the new coven. Tokyo was a vast and beautiful city that held as many secrets as any other city did.

It seemed like so long ago that I was even a human. It has been but that's besides the point. I had stopped going by Serenity once the times had changed. And change many times they did over the years. So many changes that it was hard to keep up with. Each country we were in, each state even…the list goes on and so much changed and evolved and even broke over the years.

I was able to use my given name of Serenity up until the 1900's. once I received one to many raised brows over my unique name and drew attention to myself I changed it to Serena…something soft and feminine to still be able to gain trust and also to make it easier to still go by my old name. A decisively easier transition. That old name held so many memories and pain from the events that lead me here today. I should have died several times over the years.

There were so many times I've been stabbed, many places all over me to by either Lycan's or humans that got 'freaked out' by my ability to survive nearly anything, burned, that was a by a very pissed off Lycan that was trying to kill me, shot at…the man was a good shot but a regular human bullet won't take someone like me out…but none of that took my life.

Benefits of being a vampire and a seasoned vampire at that. Some of those times I wish my life had been taken from me. Just so I could see my family again…I closed my eyes tightly for a moment and refused to let the past have an effect on me now. I couldn't afford to lose focus. We were doing surveillance work and needed information. Damon had been pressured to send out at least two of his best 'cleaners' as we were called to take care of the Lycan problem growing out here.

Or in this case see what was going on. As a cleaner we were trained to be the best fighters vampires could have as not all vampires wanted to fight. Some really enjoyed the luxurious lifestyle and others simply didn't like to kill. Rei and I didn't like it but we didn't hate killing killers. Skilled in nearly every combat proficiency and in weapons to we were essentially trained to be unstoppable.

At least that's how Damon insisted on us thinking. Rei and I however felt that feeling unstoppable would make us cocky and make us make a mistake. However, it fueled our coven that we went to and gave me a sense of purpose after Diamond was sealed away in his prison. We were ordered to keep the Lycan problem down to avoid losing any more of our kind. The war that raged on before my birth even was beginning to spill out into the human world.

The modern world of technology made it incredibly hard to operate as we used to. We had to adjust as the times changes and stick as close to invisibility as possible to avoid exposure on our world. Exposure to a world that was looking for an enemy to hate wasn't ideal. People do come together in times of great need but also come together to fight what they perceive as monsters.

I used to see that view point until I became one. it took me years of being a vampire to accept what I was and that we weren't monsters…at least not that type of monster. We knew the world didn't operate that way though. People these days looked for something to hate. To comment on. To pass judgement when they don't know all the facts. We didn't want to jump on that radar screen which was why we were doing recon in an abandon building.

Rei and I were decked all out in black cat suits that would enable us for a quick take down and escape when needed. Though this wasn't any take down until it was necessary to accomplish the objective. "You see anything?" Rei asked, watching a youtube video on her phone. Leaning up against the pillar of the ceiling it was supporting. She had her legs straight out in front of her while the phone was propped up to give her a good view without any glare.

I barely looked back at her, "No. Not even any unusual sounds." I listened more closely just to be sure. "This is a waste of time." She noted. I had to agree. We'd been here for two days and other than getting blood bags to feed off of and routine sleep checks to make sure we kept focus we didn't eat or lose contact with the other building. Low profile. "What Damon wants Damon gets." I remarked. I had meant it in the sense of our orders but it didn't prevent me from thinking about what else he took.

I had managed to keep my virtue for an extra few weeks but once I showed significant improvement of my vampiric skills he decided that we'd share a bed together. I only complied due to my deal. It was hard, painful and it was clear that Damon shed no care to make sure I was even wet. The man did not care for the pleasure of the women he took, like me, only for what he could get and control. To this day as Damon now has two other vampire women to run to, I still get bedded but not nearly as often.

Something I was relieved for but not Rei. She still held her love for him. Despite everything. I never tried to talk her out of it…not for a long time anyways. I knew how she felt because I had felt that for someone…once. It was a young man in 1912. Damon had asked me to look after him as he was an up and coming scientist that believed in Lycanthropy as more than what it was on paper during that time. He believed that they were real but wanted to build the proof of it.

Once he gained that he was working on how to harm the other species as he claimed, once I got him to open up, that his family was massacred by them. I began to fall for him without fault. Damon noticed this though when I spent unneeded time with the scientist and even going as far as to share my body with him. That was a HUGE no, no for Damon in this.

I had no idea how selfish and possessive he was of his 'toys' until he himself went to the scientist's apartment and collected all of his notes, his papers and gave them to a now turned scientist that he would have control over. I had walked in with take out that evening only to find Damon with two other vampires by his side. The scientist was looking at me to run.

I remember he stated that I was his and no one else's. He snapped the scientist's neck without a single care or thought. I was on 'house arrest' for months before I was allowed back out. The months I had spent trapped in my own room gave me nothing more than anger and hate towards Damon. He may have bedded me frequently during that time, a way of showing his power, that he was the one that got to have me, no one else, but it didn't change anything.

He knew I hated him beyond words but continued as he wanted to. It's what he did… "Nothing." I reported as we were keeping checks every fifteen minutes. She noted it and continued on her phone. Back then once we got to the new coven it was a whirlwind of vampires all over and around. I was given a room as I was last time as well but that only last for those first few weeks, Damon didn't waste time after that.

He shared control of the coven with his father. A vampire with a bad temper. Worse than Damon's but he was also, shockingly, more reasonable. He let a lot of what Damon did go but he was a vampire that also believed in the old traditions of his old country. Like no more than one women type of tradition. Once he got fed up with the lovesick women that Damon turned, having adapted Stockholm Syndrome over the years, they became to be obsessive over him.

His father only liked me as I was seemingly the only female not under his spell. I still slept with him but unless asked to I wasn't willingly around him. Not unless it was necessary for combat or something to that effect. His father saw it back in the late 1900's and immediately took interest in my skills. He then had his best train me to be more proficient and current with the times at that time. I joined the few others that he entrusted and became a cleaner.

What's a cleaner you ask? It's a vampire that is sent to kill anyone that seeks to destroy the vampire covens. Lycan's are our biggest threat. I've already had my fair share of the creatures and I must say…their nasty animals that can definitely put fear into the heart of even a vampire, especially one like me back then. I was scared of the big brute before I was forced to use my combat training to take it out.

Once I took care of the first one the rest got easier to take out over the years. It had been a weird experience and a bit morbid but it didn't take away that I felt more confident in doing my job further. I hated to have to do it but these 'people' killed vampires that I had gotten to know. The ones I trained with further. The ones that protected me as I did them. I still held my human qualities but as the times change so do people.

I evolved and learned more and more. I now had friends that were vampires and the temped friendship with Rei but that was it. I held no real family. Not anymore…I thought I saw a flicker of movement in the window and scanned it and listened more intently than before but heard nothing. Then I saw it again. This time it was a bit more as the curtains now billowed out. I sighed, "Fucking radiator." It was clear now that the air from the radiator came on and was moving the curtains above it.

"So do you think he'll come to my bed tonight…?" it almost sounded hopeful. Rei's voice carried out, "Either you or one of the others. As long as its not me." I murmured, "Yeah, yeah we know." True to her words the whole coven knew of my dislike for him, that I barely tolerated his existence in my life. Damon may lead the coven and have half of it under his control but his father held the other half. It was a tedious and hard working relationship that focused a lot on communication and trust.

Thing is was that the coven also knew what I did for them and didn't bother to correct me on my 'rogue' behavior towards Damon. The women were pleased as it gave them more free time with him and for the guys they didn't have to deal with the drama unfolding. It turns out Damon preferred to showcase the dramatics in front of his father. A way I guess of showing he had more power than the elder did.

Damon could never gain more than half and therefore was stuck in his position. He wasn't the only one in charge and that is what he was used to. I half suspected that if he didn't care for and respect his father so much he would find a way to kill the elder and take control for himself. However his father had made many overriding decisions over the years that made Damon admit that he was wrong and give his father more credibility over himself.

I was just grateful that I got to have the tiny freedoms I could. I followed protocol to a degree but found myself yearning for other things. The small sarcastic remarks aimed at Damon. The women would look at me like I was nuts the guys with a tiny bit of respect that I stood my ground. I would go further into fights than others would. Following the trails further than most of the other cleaners would which usually lead to more Lycan deaths or captures.

I had lost count on how many kills I'd had over the years thanks to doing that. How many times I was attacked by them. Nearly mauled by them. That was when I found a nice new tactic. Have a nice knife on hand to stab in the head for such cases. Took the Lycan's down pretty fast after that. I even managed to avoid being in his bed by becoming so busy with my job at the coven.

Like this right here. I may have been stuck with Rei whom would rather be in his bed, but I would take it to being in his bed or anywhere else where he wanted to take me. I knew I still wanted me. That was clear enough when a few months back he came in and spent three days inside having his way with me. He still wanted me to be his play thing but also wanted to fuck anyone else he wanted to. If I actually wanted him, needed him or cared about him I'd probably be like Rei…love sick and jealous…but I wasn't.

"I remember her…" Rei said. I looked over, "Who?" I asked, "Aileen Carol Wuornos." I heard the back-round of 'Deadly women' playing. "Yeah I remember her." I looked back out the window. "So glad you didn't turn her." I had been that woman had a bloodlust without being a vampire. Rei and I saw her killing a man mid action. The look on her face was deranged. Rei and I had been drinking and sought fun that night. That sobered us both up and we left.

We were looking for fun, not death. "I knew it'd only be a matter of time for her." I muttered, "Yeah…she had what she was given coming." I had to agree with her. There were some humans out there that no vampire wanted to be turned. ESPECIALLY one that that made the headlines for the vicious acts of violence that could cause. We had tried that a few times over the years.

That idea was banned when 'Jack the Ripper' came along and became a news sensation in 1888. We had sought him out and instead found that he enjoyed the media attention almost as much the killings. We couldn't afford the spot light so it quickly got extinguished and never brought up again. Plus other vampires brought up the devastation that Diamond had caused.

I had to bear my silence in that one. It hurt to hear the reference as true as it was. "Is it my turn yet?" she asked. I had been anxious to sit for a while now. As it was my body was becoming stiff, "Yeah your watch is on." She hit the button on her phone and the youtube stopped. "Next time can we at least get take out?" she asked, "Just watch." I rolled my eyes and switched places with her. Sitting on the ground I had my legs stretched out in front of me and took a decidedly long ass nap.

Rei could stay up all day and night with no problem but I still enjoyed my sleep. "I don't know how you could sleep against that pillar. It's not exactly a pillow." Her metaphor earned a chuckle from me, "When you're tired you can sleep just about anywhere." I settled in place and fell into a much needed, though unrelaxed slumber. I wouldn't fall fully asleep but I'd get a chance to let my mind rest and some of my senses rest. We had been at this issue with the Lycan's here in Japan for months now.

As soon as we landed off the plane it felt like we were in enemy territory. At least to me it did. It wasn't due to any scent cause hey were not that good at smells but the feeling that there were other vampires here yes, more than Lycan's…no. Damon's father asked me what I had assessed, and I told him. He was to leave in a few months once all the affairs with the coven were in order. The longer he stayed the more I felt that things would be reasonable around here.

Damon wasn't reckless per say, but if his father suggested something he'd find a way to do it his own way. Just to spit his father and show him up, however just like any other father he jokingly took credit for it by stating Damon wouldn't have been able to if he wasn't challenged to do so by his father. He was reluctant to agree but had no choice as his father was right.

I could almost hear the shifting of the whole building as I let some of my senses dull out a bit. Sometimes by doing this I could hear more and expand out how much further I could hear. A trick that Damon's father taught me. I just had to close off several of my senses to do it. I could hear a drunk down below. Riffling through garbage. I could hear little rats in the building, gnawing on the old wood.

Then there was a foreign sound. Something we hadn't heard at all since our time here. I hadn't intended on trying to find anything extra I had intended on just trying to gain some shut eye. I almost sighed in exasperation that of course this would happen as I'm about to take a rest. Not for the hours prior that I was on watch but when I'm on my 'break'. I heard a door opening and closing.

I opened my eyes and saw that Rei was still looking out the window. She hadn't heard the sound yet. To low for her all her senses to notice but not if a few were shut off. The sound was to distinct to ignore. "Close off some of your senses and listen to the building were in." I ordered. She normally didn't obey me as she was usually to stubborn to do so and a bit pig headed but when I got the 'you need to hear this' tone she listened and did as told.

Closing her eyes she did the same and instantly looked on guard. Pulling out her own knife I looked over at the door we went through to get to this floor. We both got very quiet, not letting a peep out as the sounds of faint footsteps could be heard. On the bottom floor. I looked at the other building and wondered if maybe – "There was never any movement. Not even on the streets." She whispered.

Luckily, she didn't find it offensive that I was concerned as we both were now trying to figure out what was going on. Both of us thinking to what it could be. It was an abandon building. Its why we picked it for surveillance. Great cover and truthfully no worry about even vagrants as the area wasn't the best. We were truly perplexed. "Stay…I'll go check it out." I replied. "If you're not back in five…" she retorted, "Then you'll find me." I rolled my eyes.

I left the top floor we were in and walked quietly around. My heart rate going up at the prospect of interaction with a possible Lycan. Of course it could have been a drunken idiot out there but I doubted it. That would have meant louder sounds like that of falling, stumbling or banging around. That would be louder and more distinctive than what we heard. No, what we heard was careful. Quiet. Methodical. I heard the small sound go to the center of the abandon building.

I walked quietly as possible to the source. Down several flights of stairs before reaching the first floor. Knife in hand and carefully hidden by my wrist I listened more carefully and looked more intently. Using my enhanced sight and night vision it wasn't to hard to find my way around the darkness. The building used to be for an office so it wasn't a complete disaster. It's why we were using it for now. However, we had a little rat in our midst and I wasn't in the mood.

I could hear the heartbeat of the person. A strong one to. Definitely not a drunk. Nor a druggie. They could get faster and usually stroke worthy heart rates depending on the drug but not a strong one. This was from a healthy human. I strongly wondered what the hell a healthy human was doing here in this hell hole of a building let alone the neighborhood. Even Japan has its own 'hood'. Everywhere does. I saw on the ground hundreds of old papers strewn about.

The old office desks were helping the human evade me. I listened intently as the human tried to slow the heart rate down. Trying to calm it down. I focused and blurred towards the sound. Jumping over several desks in the process and then standing in front of a man crouched down by a desk. I obviously scared the shit out of him when he jumped a mile high seeing me standing behind him.

"Who are you and what the hell are you doing around here?" I grabbed at his throat. He gasped for breath. I released only enough to allow him fresh breath. He looked almost familiar. A more in depth glance and I could see that he had short well maintained hair and he certainly didn't smell like the area around. He was trying to get my hand from him and I could feel the pull.

I was able to ignore it but still. I felt a bit of his strength as he tried to gently pry my hand from around his neck. Unfortunately, I heard not only Rei coming downstairs but also activity from across the street to the building we had been watching. I grunted in aggravation and released him. He fell down to his butt. To stunned by my threatened posture to get back to his feet just yet, "Don't move." I ordered as the man touched his throat as if the mere touch would sooth the aggravation I caused.

"Who are you and how the hell are you so strong? You on something miss?" I had no time to explain the vampire thing to him, not especially when what I smelled in the air was becoming more pungent so I went to the front and saw the two guys we had been watching all night. They looked pissed and hungry…for food…human food if I knew that look at all. "You're in the way of our food." One said. I arched a brow at him, "You must be new to the game to not have smelled me or noticed before." I commented.

He frowned. The other guy said, "Just take her out to. We can feed on them both." I began chuckling. "You simple Lycan souls. My guess is you've been barely living as you are for what a few weeks now." Now they looked stumped. I rolled my eyes. "I'm a vampire." I showed my fangs and blurred to backhand the one that suggested they eat me into the nearest wall to his left, "And I've been one for a very long time…" I turned to the other one that was shocked.

I began stalking him in a sense as he backed up. I don't think the Lycan that turned them gave them any help in the transition department. He looked utterly afraid of me and read to do whatever it took to kill me if needed as he was that desperate. My vampire side reveled in it. Practically enjoying the fear emanating off of him. My human side found it agitating and wondered where the hell Rei was.

I listened and heard her still coming down. There were after all about a dozen flights of stairs and as she was going at the same speed as me to avoid anyone else from hearing it would take just a little bit longer to get downstairs. Clever on her part. A way to provide back up without the other party that was aiming to kill knowing they were there. Rei was always good at that.

"I've lived well beyond my original mortal life and I highly doubt that my end is on your food table." I noted to the other guy as his friend, the one who had now regained his footing, began trying to turn. He was beginning to transform into a Lycan though with barely any success showing me just how truly untrained they were. I actually felt bad for them. When he let out a growl I threw my silver knife at him.

It embedded into his shoulder and shoved him into the wall embedding him to it. He tried to pull it out but was to weak and in to much pain to do so. The more damage I did the more I felt like I was killing a Lycan baby due to how weak they were. Not that I ever have but they were that weak. I was actually going easy on them that way I could still collect information.

"You both must be really new to not be able to block that out." We could tolerate superficial and even wounds like that without fuss as we were taught how to block minor, as we determined them to be, wounds so we could still focus on getting free if we were ever caught or pinned. These guys had no such training. I looked back at the other guy who was looking warily around for a weapon.

He tried a turned over chair. Metal. And those legs don't break off with ease for a human to do. He kicked it towards me. I side stepped it easily. He tried moving a desk in my way but found me to be shoving at it with enough force to send it way to far away for him to use against me…not that it was effective in stopping me anyways. "I'll make this easy for you." I began again.

He looked at me, "Who turned you?" Rei got downstairs and having heard the tale end of things simply said, "Why not simply kill him?" she pointed to the guy against the wall, "He's not gonna hurt anyone." I barely paid him heed now even as Rei went up to him and pulled out the blade that held him to the wall. We looked back to watch him try to attack her out of blind rage but she had her hand around his throat just the same, "Seriously?" she snapped and twisted snapping his neck.

You had to give her credit for that. She knew how to give Lycan's a quick death when possible. "Fuck!" the one in front of me cursed. I almost felt bad for him…almost. They were probably after that guy over by the – I looked over and saw him still there. I was a bit shocked but didn't complain. He was probably stunned by the events unfolding and couldn't believe what he was seeing.

I did display some supernatural actions like the table, "Bring him over here." She smelled the scent and walked over. I looked back at the other guy, "So who turned you?" he looked at me as if I were insane if I thought he would answer me after seeing his friends neck get snapped. I looked over at Rei who looked unapologetic for the act. What was done was done.

"Tell me now and I'll make it painless. Don't tell me…I'll torture it out of you. Your pick." It was honest and blunt. "You don't have your knife…" he commented, as if that would stop me. I smiled and blurred, taking him off his feet and smashing him into the other wall with enough force to stun him, "Tell me n - " his head damn near exploded as I let go and shielded my face from the blood and brains that came out.

It was like a spray of death that just hit me and coated my face and hands as I brought them up to block my face out of natural reaction. The rest of the body fell as well, "What the fuck was that?!" Rei demanded as she had the other male with her. Even I couldn't explain that one…not until I looked at the blood soaked wall and after some digging found a silver bullet embedded deeply inside.

I touched it and felt the heat still barely present. "Sniper?" I wondered, "Seriously? Since when are Lycan's anything more than beasts that operate and use more than two brain cells?" Rei had a greater dislike for them than I did. If that was possible. "They've managed to survive as long as we have…" it was more of a note rather than a defense but it was also the truth.

I looked out the doors that the guys came in at and saw a fraction of where a shot like that could be made. "Guard him. I want to know why he was here to begin with." He looked to damned clean and well dressed…maybe not like he was freshly shaven but clean to where he wasn't pungent with odor and well dressed as in the man had enough yen to buy name brand jeans. You didn't get that off the streets.

The man didn't belong here and it was to evident to let him go without an interrogation. I had to know. "Wait I have to babysit?!" Rei complained even as I ran out and blurred to where the shot could have been made. I finally made it to the street and took a sniff. The garbage was enough to cover most but not all of the scent. I followed it to a block further down and away where I followed it up the fire escape of a building.

Getting up there I saw and smelled a Lycan clear as day, metaphorically speaking, with a case that must have housed the rifle used to take the shot. I saw that he was taking out his phone. I stayed silent to see if he would contact someone that held more information on why they were out here doing this. He got his phone pulled out before shoving it back into his back pocket.

I had been trained in the art of shooting for decades. That was one powerful ass rifle that did that. This Lycan was either former military or trained in a similar fashion that I was. His scent was even older than the others. Not seasoned like me but older than just a few months. I noticed the shift in him and acted. "Who the hell are you?" I whipped out my own Beretta and took aim, "Just tell me." I stated getting tired of making demands and getting no response.

He stopped, "If you found me this fast then you must be either another Lycan or a vampire." He quipped, "Vampire." I corrected. He turned around to see me, "As for who I am…" he turned around to face me. "I'm no more than a soldier in this war. Just as you are." I arched a brow, "Tell me something I don't know?" I demanded. We had been at this war for far too long.

Over two hundred years with me and hundreds of years before me. it had been and continues to be an arduous situation. Anyone that doesn't take a side is putting a traitor target on their backs with some even citing that their cowards. I choose not to say anything. What others wanted to do was their own business. Some vampires and even Lycan's made it their business…obviously.

Its why members from each side were disappearing. They were trying to get away from the war that was told to be erupting…for the last decade. Its why I kept working. I personally thought that it would blow over and we'd come to either a mutual agreement of peace or we'd end them. This Lycan though was making me wonder now. "We're going to win this war."

I saw him reach in his pants pocket for something, "Careful." I warned. He took out his phone, "No worries, but with one call I can have you shot on site." He told me. I balked at the threat. "You haven't been at this for long have you?" he looked at me oddly, "That only works if you can actually make the call." I tell him before shooting his hand. He cried out in pain.

In all honesty he shouldn't have said that as it only drew attention to what he could do and gave me the upper hand, "Relax it'll heal in a few hours." I began to walk up to him when he tried to rush me. I dodged him but felt that he was at least a couple of decades old. His strength was decent…not enough to do damage unless I wasn't paying attention or a newbie myself…I was paying attention and I wasn't a newbie.

He ended up nearly running into the edge of the rooftop we were on. I quirked a brow but other than that didn't react. I was well aware of the Lycan's hatred for my kind and NEVER once have I or would I turn my back on a potential threat. Damon made have don't it but he was older and stronger so therefore he was more skilled and had a more intimate knowledge of how they acted.

He may not have gone out much for these bits in the last few decades, trying to deal with the more political side of matters. Once that his father usually took care of but now that the elder vampire was leaving his affairs for his son to deal with he was becoming more consumed with them. Either way I wasn't taking chances with any type of enemy especially when it came to a fight.

It wasn't that I didn't feel confident in my abilities far from it…I refused to get cocky and make a mistake out of arrogance. It would only be to me, a matter of time before it happened to Damon. If he wanted to risk it believing that since he was trained well and had the age on us be my guest…were not the same in that area though. "I don't feel like fighting, I just want answers." I tried. He let out an odd bone chilling near laugh, "You and your kind are so fucked."

I sighed, "You know what…I'm done." I was done trying to be 'nice' to this Lycan. We established dialogue proving that were not merely animals with a need for blood but that we can actually converse, but he was just being a dick now and that aggravated me. I was covered in blood and would definitely need to shower later on tonight. At least to get it off and get the stench of death off me to.

I hated it. I blurred to him and within seconds had him clutching my hand that was wrapped around his throat. Holding on as I tightened ever so lightly. He gasped in a desperate attempt for air. I had him pinned effectively against the lining of the roofs edge as his booted feet kept trying in vain to reach the roofs flooring for some semblance of control for his own safety.

I 'shhed' him as he started trying to transform, "Stop that. Don't want to draw attention to us now do we. After all…war or not the last thing either side needs is exposure." He had to stop as he knew I was right. Even his own kind would have words for him at the least for causing potential exposure to them to. Right now most people saw Lycan's and vampires as myths.

The stuff stories are made out of to scare people. Though some people do develop a morbid fascination with both species for many reasons. However to give people believable reasoning that we actually exist…the world couldn't handle it. Not really. It wouldn't be a war for the two of our kind after that, it would be a war from the humans, those that feared us to eradicate the 'monsters' from their world. The human world would join forces to take us out,

It was the same reasoning behind our departure after Diamond's incident. We were stronger, faster…but in the end there were FAR more of THEM than us. We had ever vampire on record for security purposes. Humans wouldn't react well if they knew the truth. Fear would take over. Then so would the militaries of the world. A lot of blood would be spilt all over so that was one thing that both agreed upon. Exposure was NOT an option.

"Now you're a bit stronger than them obviously…" I surmised. "But my guess is since you choose to take out that Lycan out via that sniper rifle my guess is your hand to hand is not great so let me ask this one LAST time…who are you?" I released just a little bit for breath, "Our war is going to boil over. We will be victorious." He sounded like he truly believed it. It made me pause for a moment wondering what this meant if it was true…that the war was boiling over.

"Why are you here? Why take out two worthless new Lycan's? In the bowls of this neighborhood?" I demanded instead. "Couldn't take risk that they would talk. You scared the living shit out of them." He was afraid they'd talk… "Talk about what? What about the human?" then he got interested. "He's alive?" he nearly demanded, "I'm asking the questions." I remarked.

He breathed in deeply then tried to fight me back. Getting me back enough only to gain a foot before I backhanded him and shoved him back in place. "Fuck you!" he snarled, a bit of his Lycan self coming out. "You take out your own loose ends to. Don't tell me you haven't done some down right despicable things for your 'coven'." He spat. I avoided the remark, "Why take out another of your kind then? How was he a loose end?" I demanded of him.

He smirked, "I'm not telling you shit." I acted indifferently about it, "Okay then…if that's the case then I have no need to keep you around. If you're not going to talk that is…" I eyed him distastefully. "Kill me then. I'm just one of many. Someone else will take my place and make sure our plan succeeds." He remarked, "And I'll be here to stop them to…until I get to the brains behind this and end them to." Whatever this was that was going make it boil over.

He merely laughed, "It'd be a suicide mission to take on our elders." I shrugged, "It's probably but it doesn't mean one can't try…" I tell him. Grabbing his neck I tighten down on it as his Lycan form starts to come back, "I'll die before I talk…" he snarled out before breaking the hold I had on him and twisting his own neck till it snapped of its own accord. Stunned I searched his body for anything to be of use. Finding nothing I disposed of the body and headed back to Rei and the mystery guy.
