By Dawn's Break[Shaden, Xavier, Max, Jacob, Troy]

Xavier grabbed Aubrey and flung her off of him. She was light, easy to handle and control. Xavier rolled over and shook the pain from his head and looked at her on the ground. He kicked her in the face and knelt down. His hand covered her mouth to brace her head as he rammed the switch blade deep into her temple and rose from the ground, waiting for her to roll around in pain.


Bitch, I made you. How dare you even think about putting your hands on me like that. If it wasn't for me, you wouldn't be that bitch boy's sex toy, you'd be dead!

Xavier said angrily stomping on her face then kicking the blade deeper into her temple and left it there as he casted on evil glare at her on the ground. His back turned on her without a care, without the slightest sign of sympathy. At this point in battle, Xavier was completely apethetic to anyone here but him and Jacob.

His eyes then turned to Alex, curled up into a fetal position like a child. His hand reached for his belt as he pulled out his signature midnight black .45 Handgun and popped off a shot that whizzed through the air and slammed into his vulnerable body. Xavier followed that with 5 more shots, all aiming at the face and chest. In a mocking gesture, he blew the smoke that emitted from the barrel of the gun off and winked at the body laying on the ground and turned to meet whatever new oppenent chose to attack.

Chloe watched for awhile as the scene played out before her like a very interesting play, and she was the director. She smiled coyly at them as she came forward from the shadows. There was already so much of that beautiful red liquid on the ground.

She walked closer still. A glint of the devils muse sparkled in her eyes with a twinkle that seemed to never dim. Chloe was not one to mess with and her jealous nature was always a problem to most but it made her who she is.

As of right that second she was jealous of Xavier. His power and strength. Something Chloe wished to have some day.

She watched with amusement he shot one of the male vampires on the ground and couldn't help but laugh a little. "Nice gun." She cooed by his ear as she came closer to him. She looked around her, at all the others here. Such silly vampires. Couldn't they feel his power?

She shook her head. "Why do they even try to fight you?" She asked quietly, standing beside him.

Yes. This was all very interesting.

[aubrey]

Aubrey writhed in pain, but she didn't cry out. He had put her through worse things and made her endure it silently. She rose up from the ground to settle her weight on her hands. She spit out blood as she staggered up.

She pulled the blade from her temple, grinding her teeth in pain. Warm liquid oozed from her wound. She laughed. It gurgled out of her mouth, but she still laughed.

Jean Claude had tossed Massimo to the side and was pulling Alex to saftey. Asher had walked up to stand behind Aubrey. He looked almost as bad as she did. He stood behind her with his arms folded across his chest. He was grinning.

"Would you really like to know why we are fighting him?" She pulled a gun and aimed it at Xavier and the female. Asher drew on out and pointed it at Jacob. They were all too close together for anyone to miss. One shot would blow off half of his face. He would heal, but it would take time and it would be a hell of alot of pain.

"He came here, and brought out all of his little goons all the way from London. Would you like to know why, princess?" She spit out the word. Xavier had called her that the night he turned her. He had made fun of everyone for fighting over the 'little human princess'. At least no one jumped an ocean to get to her.

"Because I would rather be with Shaden than him. He couldn't get over me wanting to be with someone else." Aubrey laughed. It was cold and empty. Jean had come back outside, he was now pointing his own gun. He tossed one to Shaden.

"The all powerful Xavier, fighting over a little girl. And let me tell you something asshole." She glared at Xavier." I'm not his fucking sex toy. I just choose to be with him instead of you. Get over it." She spit blood at him. She remembered the first time she had done that. He had beat her, bad. Tears brimmed around her eyes as the memory replayed in her head. She fired the gun.

Aubrey shot him three times in the chest and then followed with one into his head. She screamed and swung the gun around to Jacob. Asher took up his guard around Aubrey and jean Claude filled in beside him. They were making a wall in front of her. "And you. You are the biggest idiot i have ever met. Do you think he will really resurrect her? He won't." She grinned at him, blood falling down her lips. "Didn't think I knew about that did you? "She smirked cruelly at him. "Xavier wont allow you to hold on to any human emotion. Including love. He lied to you, he lied to get you here."

Jean Claude stepped back toward her. "That's enough Mon Petite. You have made your point." He looked at her sadly. This was not what he had wanted. Aubrey ignored him. She tried to rub the blood from her face, but she only made it worse. Her hair matted to her head, it clung in bloody ringlets against her neck.

Aubrey pushed past everyone and walked straight up to Xavier. She kicked his legs out from under him. She straddled him as he fell and she dove both her knives into his shoulders. She took the hands that held his gun and pressed against her temple. Blood oozed out around it. "Shoot me Xavier." She stared into his cold eyes. "Shoot me, bastard." She screamed and backhanded him. "I would rather die than be bonded to you."

"Kill me, kill them and we would still be stronger than you." She jerked out one of the knives embedded into his shoulder and pressed it against his throat. "They are all fighting for me because they care about me. Jacob fights for you because you promised him something. Massimo wants me dead so he can have Shaden all to himself, and this little side liner wants your power." She pressed the knife into his flesh. Blood began to pool around it. "I could have loved you, but you didn't want it. You were ashamed of the emotion. Now, your panties are in a wad because someone wanted to love me and I want to love him."

Aubrey took his gun and shot him in his head. She stood up. "Fuck you, Xavier." She glared at Chloe and grabbed her by her hair, jerking her down. "Don't try to screw with me. I am the Black Nail Coven Bitch, and I could break you in half." She pushed her back watching her stumble to the ground. And started to stalk off.

Jean-Claude eyed Xavier. "I think this is over now."

[xavier]

A low snicker erupted from the bowels of Xavier's throat as he slowly rose from the grown, clapping. His eyes gazed at Aubrey, at this point in time, he folded his switchblades and put them away, then holstered his gun, turning the switch to safety. He quickly adjusted his jacket, and wiped some of the blood away from his face and chuckled even more, slowly walking toward Aubrey.

So, it took: Torture, Beatings, Endless hours of Studying, Me coming all the way from London to find you, beating your friends to a pulp and ramming a switchblade into the side of your skull until you finally accepted what was imminent.

His lips could not even slip back into a normal state, they were seemingly permanently curled into a devilish smile. His eyes then darted into the Direction of Jean Claude who seemed happy that the ordeal had came to an abrupt stop.

Well I would think so too. for if it wasn't..i would actually have to start really fighting and stop screwing around with you amateurs. I believe we are done here. And because of Aubrey's recent statement, "I am the Black Nail Coven", i think we all know where her loyalties lie. Come on Aubrey, It's time to go back home, your training is over...

Xavier said turning around slowly walking off, hoping she would follow him.

[aubrey]

Aubrey glared at him as Jean-Claude and Asher stared making their way back into his pub. That was it. It was done now. She didn't have a choice of who to follow. Jean-Claude turned to look back at her. "Go home Mon Petite. I will see you again soon." Asher lifted up his fingers in a farewell, but he didn't say goodbye. He didn't have too.

She was a member of The Black Nail Coven and Jean-Claude couldn't help her anymore. She had to forget about her old family for her new one. She fought back tears. She would probably never see any of them again.

She glared at Massimo as she passed him by. "I expect Troy to be delivered to me when you arrive back in London. You offered him to Xavier and he didn't want him, so now he belongs to me." She pointed her finger in his face. "Stay far away from me. Next time something like this happens, I will kill you."

She stalked past him and walked up to Shaden. She took his hand and pressed it against her cheek. She closed her eyes so she couldn't see how bad this was hurting her. "I have to go with him." Her voice was a hoarse whisper. Shaden. She reluctantly started walking back away from him. "Come to me as soon as you get back into London." Her fingers fell from his and she turned to follow Xavier. Tears slipping down her face.
