Jacob gritted his teeth and climbed the building, staggering a few steps as he had been in such a hurry he could barely keep his balances, the way he normally could. Aside from his own fists and the weapon resting inside the suitcase, Jacob kept a pistol nestled comfortably in his breast pocket. He jumped from building to building, trying to follow the stench of blood, hoping that his senses weren't making him go around in circles. Just how dangerous had X become?
His feet scurried as if he was in a race, still jumping from rooftop to rooftop, the wind hitting his face, and there were still no signs of Xavier. It was clear that if things continued at this rate Destiny would be missing Jacob for a far longer time.

Estella didn't even blink. She just let the sword be taken. She didn't much like fighting, though she enjoyed playing with her prey. She was a vampire on the younger side -- just ten years since her change when she was sixteen.
"So you are the blade's master? Forgive me but I had mistaken it to be the wild one's." She motioned toward Xavier. Estella's voice sounded somewhat of a young girls, and had a nature's touch, so that it sounded like it might have been a whisper in the wind, or the ruffle of leaves in a tree.
Estella kept away from most everyone, and to herself in her deep, foreboding woods. She did not know of Covens or of any society of vampires. But she knew that this woman meant trouble if she crossed her path.
"The chaos here... why was it caused in such a place, by such a man?" Estella wasn't trying to pry -- she was merely curious. This woman had a history behind her. Perhaps it will be most interesting to find out exactly what it is.

Michael threw and clawed the people the where in his way. He killed any man, human, or other in his way of watching this massacre. He found it neat that one vampire can do so much. He was in his half wolf form and stabbing everyone that was in his way with the knife in his working hand. He found a latter and climbed up it. He watched as the vampire killed the people and jumped from roof to roof to keep Xavier in his site. But he was far away from Jacob.

More death, More Destruction.
Xavier now wielded two blades, Butterfly Knives to be exact. He silently crept down the street, as humans ran in flocks away from him. with a swift stiff arm, a womans intestines fell to the floor and her body curled over in pain and death. Xavier then glanced around and slammed the other blade through ones chin, tearing the head completely off. A child was stabbed in the back of the skull and the other blade was use as a brace to pull the first one out. Xavier licked the blood from his lips as he turned the corner.
Once he did, lights flashed in his face. A barricade of Police forces were blocking the street. Dozens of men, heavily armed stood stiff as boards, all of there weapons pointed on Xavier. Suddenly, all the chaos seemed to come to an abrupt stop. Survivors peeked at the scene from there hiding places as Xavier walked out into plain view of the Police Forces.
This is your only chance...Lie flat on your stomach and put your hands behind your back.
Xavier eerily rocked back and forth, singing the same tune he had been chanting all night. The police forces were confused and looked at one another as Xavier sung his beautiful melody. Xavier dropped one of his blades and all of the Policemen attended to there weapons quickly and he licked the tip of his other blade.
Alright gentlemen, on my mark...3....2...
Xavier's head cocked to the side, he wouldn't be able to withstand this many bullets, it would tear him apart. However, he could try and boom in between the Policemen, kill a few and cause them to fire among themselves. This..Alternate personality prepared for the worse. The only thing he could do..was rock steadily and sing. |

Aubrey had been wrong. A grin curved her lips. It was out of place in a time like this. "He is mine too." Aubreys delicate hands clutched the sword to her chest and grinned wickedly at Estella. "He's not just a man. Think of him more as a God." She winked and was gone.
Aubrey ran. She speed through the gore, through the chaos. Thinking only that the bullets were about to tear his body apart. He would be gone. Her eyes pooled black with her anguish. She wasn't going to lose Xavier, not like this.
On My mark
Move, love.
Three
Xavier...move.
Her thoughts tore through her head. As she neared him.
Two
XAVIER..
Aubrey was suddenly in front of the line slinging Xaviers sword. In a heated fury she sliced the half of the line down with one blow. In the confusion the remaining men opened fire on her. They were unable to keep up with the quickness of her movement. Despite her speed she was still hit. She felt nothing. The chaos around her seemed to fade in the distance. She could feel Jacob's presence close and in the back of her mind she could hear Xaviers' song. Time seemed to stand still as she sliced through the humans.
She was protecting Xavier. She was protecting the coven. Their coven. She opened her mouth and a terrible scream emerged. She would kill them, she would kill each and every one of them for trying to destroy Xavier.
She turned to the Squads leader and lunged at him. She sank the sword deep into his middle, watching the blood pour from his back as the blade sliced through him. Something black awakened inside of her as she placed her hands on either side of his head.
She twisted and snapped it off. "One. You fucking bastard." She threw his head back to the remaining men that stood in line. Aubrey jerked the sword away, cutting the man's body in half. She stood glaring at them. Blood covered her body and her chest heaved with her breathing.
She scanned the rooftops for Jacob hoping that he would position himself any moment and help. Her black eyes dared the humans to open fire. She watched them cower back. Soon though, there would be a new command and they would have a new plan of action. She hissed at them. Reality crashing back down on her.

Estella looked at Aubrey's back as she practically flew to protect her coven leader. What dedication. She thought to herself. Perhaps these are the people to associate with... when I need to. She valued their deep connections very much. It was even more than her relationship with Ashley, if that was possible. Estella stepped lightly in the direction that Aubrey had gone, following in her footsteps, softly singing a song of her own. Gliding on wisps of clouds
So soft, so pure; delightful
Hint of amusement, touch of ice
Eyes inviting and insightful
Glamor no mortal eyes have seen
Passion no man can acquire
Depth only sought by those who are true
Humans can only admire Estella came to the corner of the street that Aubrey and Xavier were standing. Aubrey was taking the police down, almost three at a time. Then the squad leader was down. But reinforcements were already on their way. There was nothing Estella could do. She wasn't a fighter. Backup came for the human-side, and this time they were more prepared. They had more protective armor, and heavier weaponry. Two of them even had rocket launchers. There was a whole array of different weapons for these trained humans to use. Wait. Rockets. The rockets, if they hit, would create an explosion. Explosion means fire. Fire means death. And Neither this female vampire, nor the Wild One, should have to die here. Estella didn't particularly want to fight, but she knew she had to do something. So she rounded around the police before they knew she was with the vampires, and took out just the one of them on that side that held the first deadly firearm. She picked up the machine before any of the others could grab it from the dead man, and jumped back a few yards, aiming the gun down the street. Estella wasn't quite sure how to use one of these things, but she improvised. She checked for the safety, and it was off. She pulled the trigger, and it fired. Then Estella turned around and looked back into the ring of humans, where Xavier and Aubrey were. Aubrey looked ready to kill a legion of anything that took her on. Xavier looked like he was going psychotic. Either way, Estella felt the strange urge to help them. Trumps any master
Aces any hand
Gives the people second chances
Gave birth to the land
With depth no mortal has set sights on
Passion no man can acquire
Glamor sought by the greedy wretch
We can only look on with desire The police started shooting at her. But Estella countered by moving so fluidly that she seemed to be some kind of liquid, not allowing any of the bullets to make contact. "Why must you waste your artillery? You cannot cut or pierce water." She said to them. That's when she saw it. Aubrey was looking away. Xavier was looking away. But he was behind them. It seemed to be the commander of the police -- perhaps even the Chief of Police. He wasn't holding a gun. He wasn't' holding a rocket launcher. He wasn't even about to use an AK-47. He held a flamethrower. The one thing a human could use against a vampire that was most effective. It was aimed at Aubrey. But Aubrey didn't see. And Xavier didn't see. The man pulled the trigger. Estella was gone from where she once stood, an after-image still in place, and in the same moment she was knocking Aubrey down to the ground. The hem of Estella's dress singed and her ribbon caught fire as she made sure that Aubrey wasn't caught in the flames. Estella ripped the ribbon off and threw it so that the mass heat wouldn't get to her. "Your rage and hate is nigh undeniable, but your judgment from these both are impaired. Please look out for -- The fire from the rim of Estella's dress burned her legs and she cringed in pain. Guns of all kind were aimed. Round three: begin. |

Xavier slowly kicked his head back, looking into the sky. He could hear the commotion then weapons being fired..the pain. In a heartbeat, Xavier was gone, the only thing that could be seen was decapitations and intestines littering the floor. At this point in time he didnt care for his life, he was in an entirely different world. blood splashed on fellow humans as they fired blindly into the darkness, trying to find there attacker. Bullets slammed into friendly forces, The humans were taking down there own, without even seeing Xavier. Within several moments, the squad was down.
His eyes then looked to Aubrey, he saw her arm, cut cleanly off. Xavier then looked around him, observed the Vampires that had been helping him in his rage, he couldn't utter a word, He couldn't move. He was Awestruck at the death and chaos he had caused so quickly. Xavier slowly stepped toward Aubrey with one hand out, with a pitiful look of sorrow on his face, he needed help..someones help.
Au--Brey.. |

Aubrey's attention was knocked away from Estella. The woman had probably just saved her from burning, she had every intention of healing her wounds until she heard her name called.
She looked up toward Xavier and her eyes lost some of it's fury. She scooted away from Estella. Not purposely ignoring her, but suddenly it seemed as though she and Xavier were the only people left on the streets. She shakily rose to her feet and stumbled to Xavier.
Her outstretched fingers touched his and she slowly sighed. His sad voice ripped through her body like thousands of tiny shards of glass. She traced his arm as she began to close the space between the two of them. She pressed against him and traced the outline of his jaw.
Everyone was dead. The streets were littered with dead civilians and officers. Xavier had started the chaos, but she had helped. She had taken innocent lives to try and protect him. Who was she turning into? What was she turning into?
"I'm right here Xavier. I won't leave you." She pressed her cheek against his. Softly humming Long, Long Time Ago by Hace Mucho Tiempo. She traced the opposite side of his face with her good arm. Her only arm at the time. "Come back to me Xavier. Come back."

Xavier began violently shaking. It was as if his body was dipping into seizures as convulsions rippled through his anatomy. A grown of agony escaped from his lips as his eyes burst wide open and pooled back into the pale blue they usually were. His knees buckled as he fell to the ground. His pale blue eyes skipped across the chaos, Intestines and gore decorated as far as the eye can see. The injured tried desperately to escape the scene in fear of a second wave of attacks. Children, Women, Men and Elderly all shared death on the street in cold, sickening positions and limbs were scattered around the city.
What did I do...?
His eyes were literally in a state of shock, not even Xavier could picture himself causing such chaos, such genocide. Why was this allowed? Why wasn't he killed? He rose from the ground and began to look at the bodies, Children...He would never kill children. He knelt down to a child, body torn violently in 2, eyes wide open. The sight was too gruesome for even him to see. His head turned away from the brutal sight as he slowly closed the childs eyes. No one deserved to die like that.
What did I do..?
Xaiver couldn't help but keep repeating himself. |

So her name is Aubrey. Estella thought to herself.
Estella rose to her feet and stumbled to the sidewalk, where she placed one hand against the walls of the building. There was a ring of burns on each leg, where her singed dress had touched her. This was the weakness of Vampires. Even though it wouldn't have effected a human so, the burning was undeniably a hundred or so times more painful for a vampire. For a vampire, burn wounds healed incredibly slowly.
Estella inched up the street, away from Xavier and Aubrey. She knew that she had no place with them. There would be more humans coming to that spot soon, and she needed to leave. She knew that there was no hope in trying to get THEM to leave. They were lost to the world, and in their own. Estella couldn't run because of her damaged legs, and so she was useless. How pathetic she must have been.
Estella glanced back to the pair of vampires. They were close to each other. The woman seemed to swoon by the slightest hint of her name. Estella smiled slightly. She gave them a silent blessing, and began to walk slowly in the other direction.
What she didn't notice was that she dropped her beloved Dream-Catcher right next to Aubrey when she lunged to save the female vampire.

Aubrey slowly pulled off her ruined coat and covered the young child. She knelt down and placed her hand on Xaviers watching the torment her was putting himself through. She had never seen Xavier hold regret.
She slid her hand against his cheek and forced him to look at her. "You had a bad dream. You were gone for a moment." She pressed her forehead against his, refusing to let the tears fall from her eyes. She looked up into his blue eyes as relief washed through her.
She didn't look away. She refused to look at the massacre around her. She had seen already seen it and had no care for a replay. She kept her eyes locked to his and the liquid honey flowed back to them slowly. She kissed his cheek and held him to her. "You were gone for a moment, but you're back now."
She closed her eyes as a single tear made its way down her cheek. Her body suddenly felt very heavy. The smell of death was beginning to burn her nose. "You came back to me."
Aubrey sighed against him. "Lets go home now, Xavier. Let me take you home."

Xavier felt lost, the only thing in his mind was Aubrey's gorgeous face staring at him. Xavier blinked a few times, holding Aubrey tight. She was the only thing he had. He looked at her arm. He couldnt help but look away in shame and depression.
Did I do that too?
Xavier said with a slight tone of anger and hatred for himself. He had been doing a good job containing himself. He had held the beast in for so many years..Perhaps it was time he came out. Xavier couldn't be here any more. He could hear sirens blaring, More guns, More troops. He needed to leave.
Take me home Aubrey, Please take me home... |
