SerenityxEndymion: I know but that was kinda my plan all along. I knew people wouldn't be to happy with it but it was of my vision. She delivers on her end of things but its not really love making its just sex for him. He's possessive of her but not in a truly loving sense. Damon sees her as his possession and whatever else he can get from her. its why its just sex that she's had and hasn't truly been with a man that loves her.
Guest (1): great! thanks. My head was literally between the 1st (beginning) & 3rd (ending) for the time jump scene to read and feel right. I'm glad that Damon's inspiration is coming off well. I still want to give him some type of positivity but its not all that. He didn't care about it cause of his view of her. he wants her and desires her but she's his possession. He's possessive of his mistresses. And no I wouldn't make it like vampire diaries. That's to much drama for this little saga. Its not going to expand seven stories. What I have laid out is simpler and doesn't have a love triangle going on. I don't count Usa/Damon/Mamo as a love triangle as there is no love between Usa and Damon. I write the way I talk sometimes.
red shoulder85: spoiler here…no he's not related to the scientist. Completely separate. Thanks. 😉
OrientalDanceGirl: I didn't think it would be something needed to advance the story line. It wasn't…if anything it would have been weird and something that didn't read well cause it didn't even sound great in my head. It was to much of a cross between the sex scene from 'memoirs of a giesha' where she accepted what bind she was in to the lack of trying to please her like in 'a history of violence'. If you've ever watched either or both it felt like their sex scene would have been an awkward combo of the two. It wouldn't have worked. She never wanted to bed him. Any attraction that is there is nulled out due to the type of person he is. Even if she did ever forgive him for the attack on her family the man has several mistresses and he wouldn't ever give them up for her.
A vampires forbidden love Ch.5
Usagi POV
I had a bad feeling about that Lycan I just killed. He may be dead now but still his words eluded to something that had my own wires buzzing around. Something in the air that night told me things would be changing. Something was going to happen and I had a feeling that these now dead boys that I was walking past had something very strongly to do with it. The blood and brains of the one guy were still coated on the floor.
It would start to attract unwanted attention if it wasn't cleaned up. I'd have to have someone sent in to clean this up. If it was a simple gun shot then yeah it could be explained away but the head obliterated…no that can't be easily explained. That Lycan was more of a moron than I realized if he thought using a high caliber weapon was a wise choice. The younger Lycan's whole head was nothing more than mush.
I sent a quick text out to have the area cleaned up. Even if it was the Lycan's that did the killing it wouldn't make a difference. If they got exposed they would expose us to. I internally laughed at how that was the only thing we worked together on…keeping it quiet. No exposure. I walked back into the building to find Rei and the dark haired male inside. She was interrogating him, "For the last time who are you to them?" Rei nearly bellowed.
"And don't say you don't know!" Rei didn't mind getting loud, trust me my room wasn't to far from hers. She enjoyed letting the other residents know how good Damon gave it to her…when he came to her. So her yelling at him may have seemed unnecessary but she had a need to be heard and she was. "I'm telling you I don't know why they were after me." The man tried. He looked to still be dressed in hospital attire. A doctor perhaps.
I stepped around the blood on the floor and simply asked, "You at least get a name?" she looked to me, pissing mad, "He's stubborn." He clearly had a black eye from her but nothing more. "Nani?" she snapped, "He gave me lip!" she shot him a threatening look that read 'see what happens if you defy me'. He held up his hands in defense. "Listen my name is Chiba, Mamoru." He looked at me and suddenly I found myself looking into deep dark blue eyes. "I'm an intern at the hospital down the street." He started.
I blinked a few times realizing I was probably staring and decided to converse with him. Rei hadn't gotten anywhere so may be by not yelling at him I could get somewhere faster. Besides there had to be a reason for all of this. It wasn't a coincidence. "Well Mamoru it seems you either were in the wrong place at the wrong time OR…" I walked up to him, "You have something they want." I finished.
He looked back and forth between us both looking confused, "But I don't have ANYTHING of value to them. I was simply collecting data and those guys tried to rush me. I came in here for cover when you scared the shit out of me and then all that crazy stuff happened. Last I checked a regular woman couldn't have lifted that guy off his feet as easily as you did. It's physically not possible given your body build." He stated.
His trying to dissect the situation was his way I could tell of trying to rationalize it. Thing was there was nothing to rationalize. We were vampires, there's nothing rational about that in this world. The human world. "Then his brains…I…" he looked to me and I knew I probably had some of it on me. Just not how much. Suddenly I didn't want him to see me looking so covered up in blood and brains.
I tried to smooth out my hair at least and found a few pieces of brain in my hair. Vampire or not that was still gross. Mamoru looked to be trying to figure out what was still happening and truthfully probably wondering what we were going to do with him. "I'm just trying to keep it together right now I just watched a man's head explode and you still have his blood and guts on you." He looked me up and down.
Both did now actually, "True…" I admitted. "You do need to shower when you get back." Rei noted. I didn't disagree. I felt the need to strip now as it was. The fighting was over therefore the need to not care was over. "Whatever we'll handle it later, what type of data?" I demanded. He looked like he was in debate to say or not say something, "We just got done saving your ass tell us!" Rei demanded.
Rei did have a hot headed persona. She had no problems being the 'bad cop' to my 'good cop' if you will. "Besides clearly if we wanted to kill you we would have." I stated letting him know how in 'good' hands he was. He could at least have some amount of trust within us. "Fine all right all right." He held up his hands in defense…something he seemed to do a bit around us now. Rei crossed her arms over her chest.
"This better be good." Rei threatened. I merely shot her a look as she acted indifferent. "I'm working on a hypothetical serum." Rei and I looked at him then each other. Both of us thinking and saying the same thing, "For what?" we demanded at the same time. "There's been an exceeding number of patients coming into the hospital lately." He began. "At least form what I've been told." He amended.
I leaned back against a desk as Rei hopped on another to listen as this Mamoru guy talked. I had to admit he held my interest and dare I say it but attractive as well, "I didn't notice it at first, I got transferred a few months ago to the area. There were numerous cases that came in about dog bites…or scratches." Rei and I looked to one another wondering the same thing…building the ranks… "At first it was blamed on lack of food in the wild and it was forcing the dogs, wolves even to come out to the city." Which was plausible.
I looked to Rei again and she still looked untrusting but also relented that it was possible. The way times were now it surely was possible to see where the initial reaction came from but we knew better. Seeing our understanding he moved forward, "But I began to note that the bites and scratches didn't match any dog or wolf that's indigenous to the area – in fact NO dog or wolf that's in existence has bite marks that big nor leaves such scratch marks on a human or animal." Now we knew why he was marked.
He was figuring out the secrets that he shouldn't have. Lycan's were making a mistake with this new plan, if it was in fact the real deal. Leaving their victims to be hospitalized so they could build the ranks was risky and even a bit stupid…unless the goal was to see how many could change and infect others in the ward they were in. Spreading Lycanthropy like the plague. The problem was it attracted unwanted attention…unless someone else was there to cover it up and monitor the newly made Lycan's.
But I had to be sure before I presented my thoughts. "What else?" I asked seeing his 'you getting my understanding' look here. "I began to take DNA samples from the victim's wounds before the victim would mysteriously disappear…" he used quotations around the word 'disappear'. "Like no record of them?" I asked, "Like they simply were never there. The nurses would say they must have skipped out during the shift change but the scrapings I took showed a weird result in the computers."
Now this was interesting. "It read, unable to confirm." Now Rei and I looked at each other with knowing eyes. "What has those results? I tested it from other patients to. All that had either been bitten or scratched…all the same results all of them skipped out." He noted. He was smart…in this war that could get him killed. "That's why they were after you…" I muttered, wondering what to do now.
This guy, Mamoru, held potentially exposing proof of them out there. He also held proof for us that there was an army recruit going on within them. "Come again…?" he asked, now standing up. "Your work painted a target on your back." I told him. He seemed to be trying to understand but not wanting to be a part of this. Problem was he already was. He was marked. I could see the warring frustration in his face.
"Listen I was just looking for the patients out here. These were the locations where they were said to live at in the systems. I was hoping to find them for more details when those two tried to jump me when I came in here." He said. We were going to have to bring him in for proof of what was going on and keep him safe until we could find out where these new Lycan's were coming from and disappearing to.
Enough was enough. "Someone at the hospital you work at is working with the Lycan's and tipped them off that you were down here." I said…it was the only explanation. Killing him at the hospital would have been too risky. The security there too high to risk that exposure. "Meaning someone that knows of the samples you took." Rei spoke. I looked over at her, "Someone you work with…" I looked back at him.
"Who else knows of those samples? Do you have them on back up?" hopefully so. If anyone had access to the same computer as he did it could very well be gone. "Very few…I don't socialize much with them. Not that I don't want to but its just busy in this life and I, I just get busy with it." He huffed. It had to be a long arduous job that he had but he's also helping people and trying to save lives.
It was a noble effort. A lonely existence at times but a noble effort. It made me admire him a bit now. We saved lives by killing Lycan's that threatened our safety and human safety whereas he saved them by keeping the good alive and helping the meek survive. I leaned against the desk more casually wondered for the first time in a long time how to let him view me…other than bad ass vampire.
"I also have a back-up at my place." I arched a brow at him, "I was working long hours on it and sometimes things would come to me when I got back to my place." He excused. I could tell he was a bit offended but I had to ask, "Isn't that a breach of your bit as a doc?" Arching a brow at him. He looked at me pointedly, "We doc's as you put it, work from home to." He stubbornly replied as he crossed his arms over his chest.
As much as I hated to admit it he'd have to come back with us. This felt like the start of something new and dangerous. Not wasting another moment I grabbed his arm and started to pull, "Come were going back." He pulled his arm free, "Where? I've got to get home." He remarked, "If there's a leak at your work which obviously there is, then they probably know where you live. What time to get off and probably even what you eat for dinner at night." I was being sarcastic at the end but it was probably true.
"Why care though? I'm no body." He tried, "Question is…" Rei came up, "Why haven't they tried attacking you before?" I was curious now, "Opportunity maybe…" I surmised. I looked at him as he appeared to have to admit something, "A possibility is that I didn't have all the results till tonight…the computers had been acting up this last week. Data was going missing and new data have to be pu tin twice over as the bug issue was on going."
I looked to Rei as she gave me an 'I'll give them credit for trying'. The Lycan's obviously had someone there to go through the terminals…perhaps even put a bug into the system to find it but it created a disturbance in the hard drive causing the bug issues. Someone that was physically there that not only had access to the terminals but access to him. That was on his route. "So I concluded my work and saved it. Sent a back-up email to my home computer."
And that's where he nailed himself. That information was found and reported to a superior. Once he sent it, he didn't have a chance in hell of making it to his place safely…it was probably way beyond compromised at this point. "Does the hospital know your new address yet?" Rei asked him. "No…I've been to busy to update my new address. My address still reads as being in Toyohashi." He explained.
"Does anyone know about your new place?" I asked. "They know I have one but not where it is." This might prove to be a very good thing. "Not even the city it's in?" I asked. "It's not that hard to find someone in Japan. Especially if you're a Lycan with connections." She was right there was maybe a day at best that we had before they knew exactly where his new apartment was. It did give us time though to get him to safety then go in for retrieval.
I shot her a look, "Then the new place is possibly still in-tact." She nodded as well. "So were going back to my place." I made him sit back down so he could understand and wrap his mind around this, "Regardless if your new place is safe or not we need to get you back to the estate. It's the safest there and even if your place is good right now it's still to risky. You need to come with us." I told him as I went to grab him to pull him along for the ride.
He held on fast, "What now?" I demanded even Rei was starting to seem pissed by his refusal to get to safety, "My notes, the backups are at my place. We need to go there first so that I can get them." He tried, "Fuck this we're going back to the estate and that's that." Rei stated grabbing onto him herself. I felt a tinge of annoyance on that as she grabbed onto him. "We'll send someone to retrieve them." I wanted to get us all out of here. I didn't trust the area especially not after what just happened.
He was still being stubborn though, "Wait no! You can't just kidnap me!" he protested, ripping his arm from Rei's grasp. "It's called saving your ass. Let me connect the dots for you…" I moved past Rei to go toe to toe with him. He was tall. Taller than Damon by a few inches easy. I knew that dick leader of ours was about 5' 11'…Mamoru here was at least 6' 1' if not 6' 2'. He was even taller than me in my leather heels I wore out tonight.
I may have been at a scampering 5' 6' but still I had height on thanks to the thick booted heels I wore I was easily 5' 9'. Not that that made a difference to him but he was still intimidated I could tell by me. He saw what I could do and he held true fear. For once I didn't want that to be a factor. I didn't want him to fear me…I wanted him to trust me to…why did I care? Why was the way he viewed me so important all of a sudden?
Fine he was attractive…I'll admit that but so what? There were many attractive vampires that I could…could what? Damon has that no touch rule to the others. No other vampire can touch what's his and if we were to initiate it…hell would be paid. I shut my eyes to clear my head, "Relax…" I held up a calming hand, "I have no intention of killing you." I could sense Rei's body shifting at my words.
"Excu - " I cut her off, "But…" I shot her a 'shut it' look before continuing on, "This is your new reality…" I decided to throw him into the deep end and see how well he'd swim. He was going to have to hear it now or else none of his findings would make sense and if I told him they'd make more sense to him and possibly help him out. "Or rather the one that you didn't know existed within your own." His expression was that of confusion marred with 'what the hell have I gotten into here?'
"Lycan's and vampires exist in the real world." Yeah I know that expression…the one he gave me just now as if I was nuts and he wanted to say it but knew he couldn't cause he just saw proof. It was dead on the ground. "We just operate on a smaller scale but there are many of us all over. From what we've gathered the Lycan's are building an army to combat us, which is not good." He was processing I know but there was still more to come.
"You have found that proof. Ironically its why we were here…" I glanced to Rei who rolled her eyes as I had a point. "And now we need to make sure that nothing painful happens to you." Rei growled… "Damn it!" she nearly howled. "How the hell does a surveillance mission turn into a rescue mission?" She snapped at me. She hated rescues. They pulled her away from what she really enjoyed doing…fucking Damon and killing Lycan's.
I rolled my eyes as she complained like a spoiled child in need of a time out. Tell her that and you might lose your own head though. I dared but that was only cause I knew when to duck, "That means that you're going to have to come with us where it is safe for you until it becomes safe in the world again from our war. Whether you like it or not." He looked stunned and I couldn't help but feel for him.
Plus it was just to dangerous to take on any Lycan's if we had to babysit a human. Plus Rei hated to babysit. She would oppose the idea in a heartbeat. I pulled my phone out ready to text Damon the news, "Damon's gonna want to hear this one." I was typing it out when we both smelled it. It literally had us both taking a moment to gauge the situation. Both Rei and myself looked around and felt the ground damn near shift beneath our feet.
"Lycan's." I spoke. And strong ones to judging by the vibrations we felt. Older ones were able to dig their claws so deeply in that the pouncing vibrations that other Lycan's and even vampires as old as we were could feel it and known when to either run for the hills, welcome one in or fight to the death. We had no choice but to run for the hills. "More than one…" Rei replied closing her eyes trying to gauge how powerful they were. "Fuck older ones to." She noted.
Not that we couldn't handle them, we could no doubt but to babysit to… "We have to get him to safety." The information he held was valuable to our kin and Damon would need to not only hear this but make a decision regarding it as soon as possible. I looked out the double doors to find one hiding in the shadows now. Lycan's when fully formed were like the size of hell hounds only lycan's stood up.
They looked quiet daunting when at first sight. It's the reason why humans held such fear in them. Their size alone could make a regular human man piss his pants. For us it became more of a regular occurrence throughout the years. "How are you going to fight them?" Mamoru asked me. I looked back, "We're vampires…besides this…." I looked to Rei who was pulling out her own knives, "It's what we do…" I noted as the Lycan from the shadows ran in here.
Another one caught Rei from behind and threw her into a wall. "Get down!" I yelled at Mamoru, "I can he - " He ducked down when he narrowly avoided getting a 'scratch' that would have decapitated him had I not kicked out at the mid-flight Lycan making his unintentional flip over as he tried to charge at me happen. He leaped at my form as I naturally used my momentum to fall backwards and used my booted foot to throw the Lycan up further into the air to make sure he couldn't kill Mamoru.
I swiveled back on my feet. He then tried to aim for him. Seeing his prize right there the Lycan bared his teeth and howled. I had a bad feeling it was a call for more to come. Rei and I could handle a lot but we had no idea how many were coming for us now. I'm sure the howl was an alert that spoke of two vampires fighting them off to save the human and now we had targets on our backs.
I wasn't about to let this be for nothing. Instinct took over and I intervened. Getting between the two I kicked at it hard enough to send it careening into another desk as I pulled out my gun and shot at it till it stopped moving. Then one last shot to the head to be safe. "How…?" Mamoru looked stunned. I had to admit I recall an evening like this many years ago…only it was me as the shocked one… "You'll get over it. Now we need to get you to the estate. You good Rei?" I asked, looked over towards her.
I couldn't see the Lycan due to the over turned desk but Rei was having a happy go lucky time kicking it on the ground. "Of course." She stopped the kicking as she began to step away from the supposedly dead Lycan when it rose back up, "Look out!" I shouted and went to shoot when it hit Rei hard enough on impact to throw her into the drywall. She was okay that much I knew for sure but still, it had to hurt.
The Lycan turned to me and I knew I had to get him out. Who knew how many more were out there and ready to kill anything in sight. I aimed my gun and shot but the Lycan took off, "Come on!" I shouted, "What about your friend?" I knew Rei would be okay but she'd be pissed if I didn't complete our new mission. She'd say 'I got thrown into a wall for nothing?' so yeah I was bouncing and taking my new load with me.
"She can handle herself!" I yelled as I hauled him with me. Pulling him along as we ran through the back alleys and streets. "We should go to the police!" he yelped in desperation. Now that had me questioning his sanity for a moment. I stopped in the alleyway and turned around. "And say what? Lycan's are trying to kill us?!" he deflated at the remark and conceded my point. "You tell me what police officer would believe us." That was first.
"And secondly what's to stop the Lycan from killing him or her as well. They wouldn't know what to do…" I was trying to get him to understand this better so he would stop trying to delay us getting back to the estate, "And the stock of guns and ammo they have wouldn't kill a Lycan. They don't have silver ammunition. What they have would only slow it down and were not sure how many there are that are coming its why we have to get back to the estate. NOW." I emphasized my point.
I had to get him back to the estate. Taking off I found the motorcycle I used to get here. Rei and I took different vehicles to get here as a plan B back up if we got separated and needed to get back. "I'm not riding bitch." He refused to get on the bike. I pointed my gun at him, "I'm not asking." I said as I pushed him to the bike. "I thought you needed me alive?" he tried, "I can still give you a flesh wound now stop bitching and get on." I snapped.
He conceded and got on the back once I got on. The ninja flared to life and we rode out of there heading towards the estate. "Just so you know the gun didn't intimidate me." I rolled my eyes at his remark. I merely rolled my eyes but his next remark caught me off guard, "When you have a hot blonde dressed in a skin tight cat suit it can make a man reconsider his options." I couldn't help the blush nor the smile that graced my face for but a moment.
I got myself back into the right mind frame and wondered why I let that happen. I briefly considered that I was feeling a personal attraction to him and told myself to not see him that way. Damon would kill him. Yet I didn't mind the feel of him holding onto me. His arms wrapped tightly around for control over being on the back. His legs were snugged against my own to a certain point and his front was to my back emitting off a comforting heat that I was trying to resist as we drove.
I put it to the back of my mind as we got on the road near the Ocean front. I kicked up the gears to third to avoid the Lycan's following and to avoid getting pulled over by cops. We swerved in and out of the traffic or what little was out there, "You don't think maybe some lights?!" he shouted over the engine. I could tell he was trying to be sarcastic, trying to gain some mental sense of control, "I can see in the dark." I shouted back. He muttered something about vampires before I kicked it into fourth gear.
I was out of the police line of speed traps that laid along this path so I was in the clear for now. I just barely however stopped and swerved away from hitting another motorcycle as I could tell they were Lycan's. not in wolf form but they were them. Aiming guns at us. I didn't have enough time to level the gun I had at his head so I aimed lower and hit the wheel of the bike. The tire blew out and shot pieces of itself out like an explosion as the bike swerved off and just collapsed in the middle of the road.
Before bouncing around like a rag doll, loosing body oarts along the way. Its passanger flung off over half way through and off the road. I looked back to the road myself to avoid a crash like that myself. Hell I felt more sorry for the bike than the Lycan at that point. He even looked to be transforming to give him the extra strength to survive the fall cause his other him was not that strong and he knew it.
But there was another Lycan that popped up from my other side and before I could get a shot off he nailed me in the shoulder and in the lower half of my back. Those bullets ripped through my flesh like a hot stab wound that said 'FUCK YOU BITCH!'. It caused me to drop the gun. That pissed me off. Unfortunately I had to divert off the routine to evade him. I ducked into an alleyway narrowly missing some pedestrians in our path as we then crossed over four lanes of traffic on the other side which was shocking considering the time.
Mamoru's, "WOW!" in a shocked voice caught my attention. "You haven't seen anything yet." I comment before I felt a wave of dizziness wash over me. I decided to take a few moments to park by a building side as we had lost the Lycan's that were following us and see how my shoulder was doing. "We should go to my apartment. Its just around the block over there." He nodded in the direction he wanted to go to.
It seems like men truly do NOT want to listen to women. Because for cripse sake why doesn't he want to listen to reason? "For the last time we need to - " my shoulder sparked in pain as I moved to look back and snap at him. I gripped the handle bar tighter to aid in my discomfort driving as we were now. I didn't want to admit to it but this one didn't just hit my shoulder…it hit through my collar bone.
I winced from the pain…I could feel it broken and man was this is sick feeling. "You're in pain and that bullet isn't going to remove itself." I was tempted to tell him it would if I used some of my vampire strength but I had to wait till we came to a stop to do it so that I could also send word out about Mamoru coming in. However, before I could stop I had to move again as the Lycan's caught up with us. I shouted, "Mamoru!" I had no choice, "In my cat suit there's a pocket up front…my phone…" I began.
His hand began to move around on my side making me feel more intense feelings of lust and want that was distracting me. I hadn't felt this in… "Which pocket?" he shouted, his hand feeling around for a phone. I was internally shooting him a dry look as he was feeling around. His fingers felt heavenly. The way his body was curled against mine…I felt like I was getting…shit I as wet…how the hell am I this aroused now of all times? Seriously?!
I sighed to myself internally…of course you did. Cause it has to be the forbidden thing. Plus I had a feeling he was having a similar reaction. I must admit that did make me happy. I momentarily let myself smirk before clearing my face of it and getting back to business. "The inner pocket!" I shouted. His hand slipped over the cat suit to the front and found the zipper half way down and pulled it further down to reach inside for the phone.
I felt a tinge more of arousal at the action even as he fished for the phone, pulling on it to get it out of the tight space. His form suddenly felt to close and I suddenly needed to get back to the estate faster. My blood was pumping and my heart rate was starting to accelerate. I could even feel things getting hotter down below and that sure as hell didn't happen very often. "Gomen." He said his tones lower than before.
I noticed that he said it as more of an after-thought not like he actually was sorry, "Its fine." I didn't even shout it. He got the phone out and my body missed the warmth from him as he asked, "What did you want me to do?" I shouted, "Type in, bringing in a lead. Rei is - " before I could finish he said, "Rei - chan is calling." I smirked, "Put the phone to my ear." He swiped to answer and placed the phone by my ear.
"You back at the estate yet?" she asked, not bothering to say anything else. I saw the area I was in and knew I was still a bit of ways away from our destination. I felt him back behind me and knew I had to get him to safety. I also knew that the buttons were taking its toll on me. "No! I'm several miles away you?" I asked, "I'm half way back, I'll send in re-enforcements for you and hot boy." She shouted back.
She was driving herself and knowing her way closer than me right now. I however wasn't feeling good now. The blood loose was starting to kick in, "Arigato!" I shouted as the call ended. Then I blushed as I realized she called him- "Hot boy?!" he asked, "Joke! Let's go." I amped up the speed but didn't get far as the wound was leaking blood crazily now. "We need to stop or you'll pass out." He commented.
"I'll be fine!" I shouted back even though I was doubting my own words now. "Listen you have two gun shot wounds and they aren't going to magically heal up." If only he knew…I could hear the doctor mode in him as he gauged it testily with one of his hands. "YOU think it's a good idea to touch that right now?" I ventured. Any other day I'd encourage it but I knew I'd lose it if he pressured it.
Doctors always did the pressure test and I would fail miserably right now. Besides there was no way in hell these little wounds and the broken bone that was moving around back and forth creating pain where ever they shifted were going to get touched. It was to painful and I was starting to think that maybe going to his place was a good idea for now. I started to see that I was over half way back.
IT gave me confidence to give me more stubborn need now. I refused to let two wounds take me down. "I'll be fine." I insisted even as my vision began to waver now. So when the Lycan's came upon us and blocked us I had to stop regardless. "Shit." I muttered, trying to find an exit route. A few even dismounted their own bikes and got out of the cars hoping to tag team us if we tried ditching the bike or not. There was at least three of them in the front and two in the back and none of this looked good.
I looked around and found a poorly constructed wooden with metal slats ramp near the edge of one of the buildings on the right. "Kids probably built it to use for their bicycles." Mamoru noted. "It'll have to be enough." I muttered, "For what?" he asked, now sounding like he was questioning what I was going to do next. He was going to be questioning a lot of things once we got back to the estate.
Still he was a valued commodity now. I kicked my bike back into gear and drove up by the Lycan's making them tense and start to transform. I nailed the ramp and used it to bounce the bike off the wall just barely enough speed to get it going, and land on the other side of their 'barricade' safely. I smiled and shouted, "Another time boys another time!" feeling confident that I evaded them with my extra load.
"Okay I admit it that was bad ass!" Mamoru shouted. I felt oddly proud of myself as he complimented me, so much so that as I waivered as we got a few blocks aware and did my best to get around another corner to hide as I felt myself lose control of the bike. That's when I knew it, the adrenaline wore off and I was left weaker than before. I kicked it back into first before hitting neutral and let the bike fall as I slipped off the side.
The bullet wounds were finally getting to me and I was going down. I just hoped that we evaded the Lycan's at this point cause I would be out pretty soon. I was starting to feel the pain of being shot as I tried vamping out to remove at least the one bullet. The one from my shoulder was a clean through and through. The one in my side wasn't. I didn't want to scream out and alert the Lycan's that could be nearby after our escape so I bite with my human teeth, into my own palm as I used my vampire strength to make the button pop out.
Mamoru was all over me as he dismounted with less grace than me and went to my side. The bike taking a not so pretty dive into the opposing brick wall. Mamoru came up to me and started to touch around the areas where I'd been shot, briefly looking at the bullet that came out before going into doctor mode. "Good news is the upper one is a through and through and you 'popped' the lower one out so you'll live." I started to laugh. "Mamoru – san I'm a vampire. Once this piece of lead was out I can fight no problem." I assured him.
I used my remaining vampire strength to heal up the wounds as best as I could. The collar bone was the worst as that was literally reforming bone, not the easiest thing to do. My fangs lengthening and suddenly I was looking at Mamoru with hungry eyes. He gulped and I shied away. "Gomen." I was feeling weaker though. I had to do this now or else I feared I would pass out from the loose of blood… "I knew you wouldn't make it back…come on let's get you inside." He muttered and hauled me up against him.
I was on my feet for all of five seconds as Mamoru was shoved up against the brick wall and I began to fall. "Kill her." Was all I heard as I pulled out a hidden knife and stabbed the Lycan in the chest with it before cutting his throat open. We had to move. I had very little strength left in me and I knew I would be out soon. We rounded the corner of the alleyway as we had been chased from the bike.
"How are you still going even for a vampire? You're not invincible." He commented, trying to look over my wounds. I turned to him to find a Lycan trying to sneak up behind us. We traded a few punches before he knocked my knife from my hand. I hit him in the throat and went to go grab said knife when he stabbed me with his own. He couldn't talk but his eyes spoke plenty, 'I maybe dying right now but so are you.'
I hit him once more in the throat killing him as he fell but had stabbed me as well. I pulled the knife out and started running again. The blood loose was hitting me harder now. My eyes wanting to close and stay closed. I reached for my phone to see how far away that back up was when I felt the dizzy take over more. "Let me help you." I heard him say as I slid down the brick wall. My wounds were finally taking their toll on me.
I was losing vision as he hauled me up around him once more. "I'm supposed to rescue you not the other way around." I muttered, "Yeah well when the super hero is otherwise occupied the side kick gets to step in." he chuckled. I looked up at him. His dark hair may have reminded me of Damon but this guy was far from being anything like Damon. He actually cared about others including those that initially scared him…which reminds me, "Superhero and side kick?" I asked him. Curious about that.
"Well if you guys really need me that badly then yeah I was thinking side kick." He was joking of course and normally I would have snapped for such a lame joke but maybe it was due to the blood lose but it was actually a little bit funny. "Where is your place?" I asked seeing several apartment complexes up ahead. "The unfortunate one in the furthest building." He sighed. I looked like a mess as we crossed the street.
This area looked pretty empty right now as the am hours were now upon us. I knew there was a damn trail of blood that was going to lead them to us so I stopped. "You go on up there, I'll send out the text to let them know where you are." He didn't budge. "Go the blood trail will only lead them to you." I explained. "Not if I do this." Mamoru responded. I couldn't stop him as he lifted me up and carried me the rest of the way there. I briefly moaned in pain from the action but saw that the blood trail lessened up a great deal.
Once we crossed one of the empty lanes the blood trail pretty much ceased. The Lycan's would have to check every building here for him along this strip and even they couldn't just go door to door looking for us without some heavy exposure. Even if they had Lycan cops on the inside for jobs like this, most residents would ask for a warrant to view the apartment. Those Lycan's wouldn't readily have one of those on hand. So this area would buy us a few hours at least to evade them.
I started to fade out when Mamoru said, "Stay with me…" I was phasing out though, "So what got you into this life?" he asked, trying to keep my focus. I smiled, "Your gonna have to have me closer to death before I tell you my life story…or must really have me liking you." I joked out as he ran across the rest of the lanes. I looked back and saw nothing in my visual from any angle back behind us. I wanted to be sure as I felt myself phase completely out. My eye sight went black and I was out.
