Killers Of The Night

We arrive at the out skirts of the warehouse. We are parked far enough that we will not be found right at the moment but we are close enough to get in there quickly. We put on the headphone so if we got separated we could stay in complete communications. "Now remember to stay alert. Tonight is the night that he planed on so he probably has a good idea that we are coming." Mornick says.

"Right." I say. I look over at him. "What were the last words you said to your niece?"

He looks in to my eyes. "'No matter what you are an angel to me and you will always be in my heart until the end of time.' Then they took her to the stake to burn for a crime she never committed." He says. "She died to save herself. Now I can watch her fight to save herself. You remind me very much of her. Not just your looks, her heart, soul, everything that I saw in her I see in you."

"You were probably the best to her. Lets get this sucker." I say and we shake hands. We put as much stuff on our belts and I stuff as much as I can in to my coat. We get out of the van only carrying crossbows for outside security. We climb the fence quickly and both land on the other side with no problem. We break up to cover more ground. I get to one of the fire escapes and climb up it to get to the windows and climb in. "I'm in."

"Same here." He says. I walk over to a rail that opens to see the main floor. I look over it. Fifteen vampires. I look across and see Mornick. I nod to him and he nods back. I hook my safety cable to the rail and to myself he does the same. I go over the rail and stand on the very edge. I take out the gun that is in my coat. The bullets have been hand crafted out of hard wood. I let the cable go to the bottom then give myself a good push and started my drop while shooting. By the time Mornick and I get to the bottom we killed five and wounded three. The rest come at us. I throw the gun and go for the crossbow. We go through the last seven quickly and kill the three wounded. We walk to the middle and turn our backs to each other. "There have to be more. He would give you a fight first."

"I know and here comes the rest of the fight." I say when more vampires come at us. I run straight for the ones coming my way and I am surrounded. I can no longer see Mornick but I can hear him fighting. I start fighting. All you can hear is the screams of those being wounded because wood burns when it does not hit the heart. I am backed out of the room while fighting one. I kill this one and look behind me for one split second. I find a pool of blood.

"Well, well look at you. Remember me." I hear from behind. I turn to find the vampire that I pined up on a wall.

"Yea I pin you up like I was pining something up on a cork board." I say smiling.

"I wish I could kill you but the master has other plans. But he did not say anything about hurting you a lot." He says and rushes me. I move to get out of the way but he reaches his arm and we go sailing in to the pool of blood. He recovers quickly and pulls me out. I am dazed from hitting the pool. He picks me up and throws me across the room to hit a wall the pain is intense. My vision starts to fade but I still stay with it. I hit the ground and see him come closer but I cannot do anything. Mornick comes running in and goes for his back and effectively gets a stake in him.

"Victoria are you all right?" He asks concern filling his voice.

"I am blacking out." I try to get up. A net falls on the both of us and I finally give in to the darkness.

Mornick sees her go out and starts to try to get out of the net. Moric walks out of the shadows. "Well old man. I thought she would have left you at home. The master will be pleased he will get his shot at you without having to go and find you." He snaps his fingers and two vampires grab each of Mornicks arms. Moric takes out a needle and walks over. "Now this will not hurt. Of course this was meant for the girl. But you will do nicely." He sticks it in to Mornicks arm and he passes out. "Get this net off them." The two vampires do as he says. He bends over to pick up Victoria. The two vampires grab Mornick. They walk to the center of the warehouse where Valuchek is waiting. He is sitting in his chair but quickly gets up.

"What happened to her?" He demands referring to the blood.

"Domin rushed her and pushed her in to our blood reserve." Moric says. Mornick stirs, he opens his eyes. Moric hands Victoria in to Valuchek’s awaiting arms.

Mornick sees this and starts to struggle. "Let go of her. I will not let you have her."

"Why do you care? I demand to know who you are." Valuchek says.

"Has it been so long that you can not remember me?" Mornick says.

"Logan, I should have known. She looks so much like her doesn't she? But I never got to see her face from the flames you threw her too. She died needlessly, but she came back." Valuchek says looking in to Victoria’s face. "Do with him what you want but do not kill him I want him to watch her become one of us." He says walking away. He walks to his chamber. He walks in and closes the door and locks it. He walks over to the fire where a bath lays. He places her gently on the ground. The blood on her is already drying; he peals her coat off gently pulling it off her arms. He smiles, no cross this time. He undoes the buttons on the front of the shirt and pulls it off as well. Nothing is worn underneath this. He traces the tattoo on her right breast. She slightly stirs. He takes off her boots and goes for her pants.

I awaken to someone tugging at my pants. I open my eyes and see it is Valuchek. My hand goes for my jacket and pulls out a knife and I go for his arm. He growls and backs away enough for me to roll back to my feet. "Well looks like you would take advantage of a girl that is unconcence."

He holds his wounded arm. "No I was merely getting you ready for a bath." He says letting go of his arm. The wound has healed. "I thought you would be out a little longer considering you hit that wall pretty hard."

"I don't bruise easily." I say tossing the knife and catching the blade in my hand and throw it at him. He quickly dodges it but I do not see it again nor do I see him. His arm goes around my neck with the knife in his hand.

"Now are we going to co-operate or am I going to have to make this unpleasant. Trust me you do not want this to be unpleasant." He threatens. I shake my head no. "Very well then. You can finish undressing yourself." He lets go and walks in front of me tracing the knife around my neck. Not wanting to die this early in the game I do as he says. I undo the belt, the pants and push them to the floor. "Do you make a normal part of dressing to not include undergarments?"

"Only when I go to hunt. There is less constriction of the body then." I say. He traces the knife between my breasts.

"Very nice. Now get cleaned up." He says stepping away. I step in to the tub and make quick work of washing my body. I put the soap and washcloth down and dunk down to get my hair wet. I come up and look at the water. It is stained with blood. I go for the soap but do not find it or the washcloth. Suddenly cold hands move my hair from my back and a soapy washcloth is working its way across my back. Valuchek then uses the soap to do the same to my hair. I start to protest then he pulls my hair back so my face is up and he can look in to it. "You my dear are in no position to argue with me and live." I let him continue knowing his threat was true. "Dunk." I do this and come up seeing him holding a towel. I stand, before I can get a foot out of the tub he grabs me wrapping me in to the towel and pulls me out and stands me before him. "Now I think this has been more fun than yesterday don't you think." He starts to laugh seeing the anger in my eyes. He walks away and I quickly dry my hair and myself. I look into the tub. The water is now red as the blood in the pool I fell in to. He walks back and drapes a cloak around my shoulders. He walks in front of me and clips the two ends so that he can pull my hair out from under it and not have the cloak fall off me. "I think this looks better on you than it ever did on me." His arm snakes under the cloak and grasps my waist and pulls me to him.

"Don't." I say my eyes looking straight in to his.

"Don't what?" He says moving over to the bed.

"You know what I am talking about when I say don't." I say trying to make him stop moving.

"Don't struggle. I won't hurt you a bit. It will actually be pleasurable." He says getting to the bed.

"For you it will be." I say as he starts to push me on to the bed.

"My dear a vampires bit can be painful or pleasurable. I will make this very pleasurable for you my dear." He says getting me completely on to the bed. He takes a step back but staying close enough to grab me if he needs to. I sit up and pull my legs underneath myself. He takes off his jacket and then takes the step towards the bed and places himself directly in front of him. He takes my shoulders and pulls me up against him and up towards his mouth. He takes his hands away from my shoulders to unclasp the cloak. The fabric gently glides off me. His right hand drifts into my hair. "Your skin is like silk and your hair is as soft as the fur of a small kitten." He massages my head, the sensation is running through my body from my head to my feet. My eyes drift close. He tilts my head and I feel his breath on my neck, he places small kisses a long my neck. Then he plunges his fangs in to my neck. I gasp as I start to struggle then the pain starts. He massages my head more and I start to relax and start to drift in to a dreamless sleep.

After a minute of drinking he raises his head, a trickle of blood flows from the side of his mouth. He places Victoria on to the bed; her head rests softly against the pillow. He walks over to a small table and gathers the dagger and wine glass from the table. He picks up her wrist and slits it; the blood runs quickly in to the wine glass. When the glass is full he starts to feed from the wound. He places her hand down on to the bed, and leaves the room.

Valuchek walks to the middle of the warehouse still carrying the wineglass. He finds Moric beating Logan. "Stop. I wish to be alone with him." Moric nods to the other and they leave the room. Logan looks up.

"What are you here to gloat?" Logan says.

"No I am here with a peace offering." Valuchek says untying Logan from the post. "Please drink this." He says handing Logan the wine glass.

"What is it?" Logan asks looking at Valuchek.

"It is blood." Valuchek says. "You need your strength."

"You are not going to kill me for what I have done." Logan says surprised.

"No. Now drink." Valuchek says. Logan takes a sip of blood not knowing it is Victoria’s that he is savoring. He then empties the glass completely licking his lips. "You like that?" Valuchek says smiling. Logan nods still licking his lips. Valuchek walks toward the way he came then turns around. "She is sweet isn't she?"

Logan looks at Valuchek with horror. He had tasted Victoria’s blood and loved it. Anger boils up. "You basterd." He says getting up to rush him. Three vampires come out at him and restrain him.

"She will be mine tonight and forever." Valuchek says and turns around. He returns to his chamber. He once again closes the door and locks it. He walks to the wardrobe and gets a gown. The fabric is light and airy in the skirt but the buoyancy is velvet and the sleeves are lace. He walks over to Victoria and dresses her quickly, then goes to sit and read a book in front of the fireplace.
