Before Troy had left the apartment he changed his attire into a light blue jeans and a black and white tee. He still had his cross on as he walked down the street. He had no idea how to find Xavier. Hell he didn't even know what the vamp looked like. Let alone where he lived.
He was worried Aubrey might be in the area and kill him before he even had a chance to get to Xavier.
In Troys pocket was a note that Massimo had given him before he left. Troy was told not to open and so he did as he was told.
The note said simply this:
"Dear Xavier, you may keep Troy if you wish. Call it a gift. If, for what ever reason you do not wish to keep him, then you may give him to Aubrey. I no longer have a need for the human and this is his punishment for leaving New York. Do whatever you wish to him, he's not of any importance to me now.
Forever loyal,
Massimo
If Troy would have read the note, he would have been on the next plain to New York and from there, who knows. There was no way Troy would go to meet Xavier if he'd known what was in store for him.
His curious fingers played with the soft paper but he didn't even dare glance at it. He kept his eyes looking around for signs of Xavier. Or Aubrey.

The wind of the night was chilling, especially for a new yorker to come to London, in something as light as a pair of jeans and a t-shirt. Xavier's eyes tracked troy mercilessly, his every step was recorded and taken down mentally. Suddenly, Xavier decided to take action. His speed was invisible to human eyes as he seemingly manifested behind Troy with his arms crossed, wearing a black pinstripe suit jacket with a white collard shirt slightly unbuttoned.
Looking for someone?
His eerie voice forced into Troy's ears as he slowly approached him, arms still crossed. Xavier could already smell his fear, the dense ominous presence that Xavier casted was enough to have a human shaking alone. However, this human seemed to have purpose, not just a wandering blood bag walking around London. |

Troy jumped back not having in felt the vamp close by. He hated being human. His left hand gripped the cross around his neck as he nodded slowly "Are you Xavier?" He asked, although he was almost sure he was. Thanks to how Massimo had talked about him. "Massimo sent me. He wants to talk with you."
Troy was looking at the ground up until now, to afraid to look up into his face. But finally he did, and Troy could have swore his heart stopped for second. He took a step back. "Its about Aubrey, and Shaden." He finished trying to push back his fear.

Call me a Fool, I've only just figured out the ordeals that have been going on behind back. Lovely, i must say. What is it that Massimo wanted to say to me?
Xavier said lowly. He wondered how well Troy would be able to decode his dense ancient English accent. He walked up even closer, his breath now being able to touch his face, Xavier could feel the warmth from his skin. It had been so quiet that night, that Xavier could still even hear his heartbeat, at the quick rate it was pumping blood throughout his body.
Soon the fear would cause sweat, which would draw Xavier even more to killing the human but he wanted to hold off on that. Xavier wanted to hear what the loyal Massimo ha to say before he did away with his paper boy, it couldn't have been something that Xavier truly had to worry about.

Troy cleared his throat "Aubrey wants to kill Massimo, and this isn't good so, Massimo says that if you keep Aubrey away from him then in turn Massimo will keep Shaden away from Aubrey, seeing as how the two seem to have become fairly close. I'm sure you don't like Shaden hanging around her do you?" He didn't like how close Xavier was to him.
Then he remembered th not and took it out of his pocket. He stared at it for a few moments before handing it to Xavier. Then he took yet another step away. Hopefully the note was telling him not to kill Troy but then that hope was not great because he knew Massimo better then anyone.
"What does it say?" He asked curious trying to look at the note.

Xavier read the note and couldn't help but chuckle. He shook his head, Massimo was surely cold for sending try all this way giving permission to Xavier to kill him, something only true vampires could do, sending a human out blindly into a cold world, only to be struck down by the receiver of the mail.
Oh quite the Contrary, I want Aubrey and Shaden to meet up..one final time. I have plans for the two of them. So what i want you to do is go back to Massimo and tell him that i sent you back to tell him
Your boy has caused my girl to lose her track on training, this is something that deserves a fate worse than not being able to see her, Aubrey and Shaden will meet up one final time, and when they do, i will be there, and either Aubrey..or neither of them will be coming back to me. But your "gift" is greatly appreciated and will be saved for a later time. |

Troy looked at him oddly and finding out that he wouldn't die... tonight took away some of his fear. However he still didn't think he liked the fact that Xavier hadn't told him what the note said. Or the way he said 'gift'
It sent shivers down his spine. But he nodded anyway "Okay I'll tell him."
He shook his head "Though Massimo wont be happy about this. He doesn't want Shaden dead. He owes him. Massimo says Shaden will always belong to him. He wont let you kill him." He said a bit coldly. He also hated being the messenger between these two. It pissed him off. "And what "gift" are you talking about anyway?" He asked anger clear in his voice.

Aubrey sat, leaning against a wall. She was out of their sight but she could hear them. She should have known something was wrong when Xavier had denied her coming out with him. He hated leaving her alone. She bit into her knee.
Xavier knew. He knew about her and Shaden. He didn't have to know everything about them though. She could still get Shaden out of this realistically easy. She could tell Xavier that she only wanted to kill Massimo. She would tell him that Shaden was just giving her information. Wouldn't he appreciate that in her? The ruthless brutality of it?
He didn't have to know she cared for Shaden. He didn't have to know how close they really were. He didn't have to know that when she slept she wished that Shadens body was curled around her own. His scarf whipped about her face. He had given it to her so she could smell him whenever she wanted. She clung to it. She was afraid for him. That little human bastard had ruined everything. Yet again she was dragging Shaden into another fight.
She was going to kill Troy. She waited. All he had to do was leave and then she would have him. Massimo would never get his message.

Don't worry about that Troy. What you should be worrying about is getting out of here as fast as possible if you want to live, It seems we're not alone
Xavier took a long dragged out inhalation of the air and filled his senses with Aubrey's scent. She made HUGE mistake in coming, however she did not know the severity of it. She had basically betrayed Xavier, lied to him and disobeyed her orders. It was a shame really, he thought he could trust her. Part of the reason why Xavier wasn't taking her hints was the fact that he had that stench of Shaden riddled up and down her entire body. It was foul. He shook his head and then yelled out
Well dear, Can you hear us now!?
The sounds of his voice caused a flock of birds in the trees to scatter into the dark night skies, wanting to be anywhere than here, Troy should have taken the same advice. |

Shit. She had followed him the entire way here without being caught just for him to sniff her out now. She eased up slowly and walked to them. She shot Troy an evil glare. Nothing that Xavier did to her would compare to what she was going to do to Troy. Especially if Shaden was hurt.
She glared at them both. "This doesn't have anything to do with Shaden. This is about Massimo." It was hard for her to sound brave. She was terrified, but refused to let it show. She was going to kill Massimo, she was going to kill Troy, and Xavier would get over it. She plucked the note out of his hands and read it quickly. She folded it up and tucked it away then grabbed Troy by his shirt. "I will keep him Xavier if you don't want him." She turned sharply to her master, whipping Troy around with her. "You could have just asked me what was going on, you didn't have to go to the extreme of all of this." She waved her free hand around. "I'm going to kill Massimo. Doesn't that make you happy master? I am being a ruthless heartless, bitch. Isn't that what you wanted?"
Aubrey threw Troy to the ground. She shot him a glare. If he moved she would kill him. "Shaden was just giving me information. You don't have to bring him into this." She stared into his cold eyes. "You are making a mistake."

ENOUGH!
Xavier shouted, the echo could be heard from hundreds of feet away. He had to handle this situation quickly, or else local authorities would be called and this small scuffle would turn into something much more. Xavier glared at Aubrey, a stare of hatred and heartbreak he had never shown before. His eyes narrowed as her grabbed her by her neck and pulled her close roughly.
I'm not going to beat you, I'm not going to kill you. If what you say is true, and Shaden is just an Informant, then it is true that he has no importance. All the more reason for you to Kill him so this "Information" doesn't get out anywhere else. You can find new Informants in a matter of weeks, this one is old and dried out, even tried destroying our Coven. Now we will see who your loyalties stand with baby girl. The guy who could've easily ripped your intestines out through your mouth and left your corpse to rot in the forest, or the guy who "Broke you off a piece of that" with your so called "Information visits".
Xavier snarled and threw her to the floor and breathed heavily as he bared his fangs at her.
And i won't interfere with your Assassination mission, but be damned that i will be right there watching the entire thing, through and through. So what will it be? Because if you don't do it, i will. I doubt Massimo would even care that his lackey is gone. |

She landed on the ground beside Troy. She gasped, shocked from being thrown. She couldn't look at him. She had hurt him. That reaction was not what she expected. Neither was his vulgar choice of words. It wasn't what he thought, well, not completely.
"It wasn't like that." Her voice was soft and torn. She bit her bottom lip to hold back the tears. She would never hurt Shaden. Never. She wouldn't allow Xavier too either. She struggled to get on her feet. "I didn't mean to hurt you." She was whispering now, she didn't want Troy to hear. "If you would have just tried to allow yourself to love me this wouldn't be happening."
She touched his face. She hurt everyone she touched, and she called him a monster. She couldn't look at him. "I'm sorry."

Xavier shoved her away from him violently in anger and turned his back on her. She had defied him completely. Xavier would have never thought he would actually be hurt like this, he actually felt it in his heart, burning all the way to his throat. It was even hard for him to speak without choking up his words.
And if you really wanted me to love you, you wouldn't be running getting love from someone else behind my back.
His head glanced at her and his eyes filled with spite and evil. They almost glowed radiantly in the night sky as he shook his head slowly, he couldn't believe her, he trusted her for however much that held. However, despite his hurt, he would not change his mind, either she was going to try and kill Shaden or... |

In that moment Aubrey clicked. She wouldn't do anything to hurt Shaden, but Xavier would kill him. He almost had once already. She would lie. She would lie to Xavier and use Troy to send Shaden a message warning him. She would never see him again. Her heart hurt.
The pain as creeping up throughout her body. She loved two very different people for very different reasons. "I'll do it." It was simple enough, but even saying it tore her heart. Lie or not, it hurt. Bad. She made him turn to face her. He could push her aside all he wanted, but she would keep trying. She held tightly to him. "You don't really love me if you can stand to push me away."
She trailed her fingers over his back. She wouldn't do anything to hurt Shaden. She had already damned her soul to save him once. She could stand to do it again.

Troy stood up and once more gripped the cross around his neck. This was insane. He shouldn't be here "Listen Xavier, Shaden can't be killed!" He yelled "I told you, Massimo doesn't want Shaden dead. He has better ideas for him." He was of course still pissed off. He hated being grabbed like that. And he really didn't like Aubrey.
