A call had come in two nights after the run in with the woman at Brakker’s. A civilian had been captured by a group of humans, but had managed to escape with the help of the female that had been missing for three months- Breonwyn, daughter of Wilhelm. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLViXcjUSXj
The male had teleported away in jumps, carefully noting the path he took back to civilization so he could report the cabin’s location. After he had made it to the underground hospital he had called the Order and gave them the details before being sedated.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNXCF84qLoD
Almost all of them had been called in for this, all except for Brigg, Godric, Penn, and Theo, and they waited patiently underneath the shadows of the treeline. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhSWmZpCRcb
Trace, Rid’s elder brother, sat across from Percy on a rock, while Rid took up space on a decaying log a few yards away. Trace and Percy watched the front while Alder and Birch watched the back windows, leaving Rid to watch the front with Young. Slade and Boothe watched the remaining side of the cabin.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7etEkj4O4P
There were windows on all walls, the blinds drawn closed and curtains drawn over the blinds. The night was quiet but for their breathing and the trickling of the nearby river that flowed through this portion of the Maedbell woods. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3EuEYwSbTZ
Cigarette smoke was kept downwind, Alder and Birch going burning through a whole box of cigarettes between the two as the hours passed. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡQZa3xlaviC
Three hours after they had settled in, a crackling breached the air as a large SUV revved itself up the gravel drive, sending pebbles flying into the surrounding forest.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYd0VQ1Yqk4
Three males jumped out of the SUV and made their way into the cabin. The warriors stood and the trees rustled behind them. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtpIhEzvGGV
Alder sent a dagger flying with a neat hand into the shadows but no sound came from it. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgOM0EnEM4u
The woman from Brakker’s stepped out of the shadows, holding the dagger between two clean uncut fingers. She wore leather pants and a loose red shirt with an aged brown trench coat over top.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEJqGuueqVn
“Nice blade. Yours, I take it?” She inquired with a wry grin, tossing the blade back at the vampire.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0bIcvbAPzo
“Yes.” He replied, his voice stoic and as usual calm. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUI4d73ccn
His usual grin on the other hand, was not on his face tonight.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTxv5eI4pfj
“Why are you here?” Slade asked, and they looked to him as he was their defacto leader. He was strung tight though and it was obvious.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡO5XXWDwnPh
“Straight, I like it.” She murmured, “If you must know, I am looking for someone.”635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIw3q1jcA2B
“Who?”635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkomPuSm2hi
She sighed, twirling a slender finger in her blonde curls.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIEpJAQBOgq
“Shouldn’t you be… I don’t know… rescuing the missing female? What’s her name, Bethany? No, Bianca? No, Bree maybe?”635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡklJV4idjiK
Slade’s topaz eyes narrowed on the petite female but she didn’t appear to care in the least. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuOaPaKMEXB
“What do you know about her?”635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡta9N6iPvkW
She laughed, her hand dropping and her hair catching the wind. Her laugh was carefree and confident, but it also gave hints of a less than stable mind.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJIqU1v4kNh
“A great many things! But go to go and all that!”635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA6BgdmaPsF
She waved, “Toodles and all that, boys!”635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ16f0S0KVrO
Her form dispersed into what appeared to be air waves. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlCFiG3cuJ5
"Who the fuck was that?” Percy breathed, pinching his nose, “What was she?”635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkvp5F7Vj4r
“I don’t know, but you should probably check out the cabin.” Birch stated, pointing at the roof where the woman was perched. She waved once more at them and blew a kiss.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxPU04P2wc7
Then, with all the subtlety of an elephant, dropped down and swung herself feet first into the first front window, shattering it with one blow. For a moment there was silence, then agonized male screams permeated the air. A minute later, the screams died out all at once, almost in unison. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjFD0KUbJXA
Slade nodded and the warriors made their way toward the now dark cabin.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLHf7tjRk1n
The cabin’s door had fallen off it’s hinges when a male had made a run for it. There were sparks flying in the air where a TV and a monitor had once been. The runner’s corpse was mangled and beheaded, with the weapon having been a phone cord somehow. It baffled them how intact the corpse still was, but they moved on, noting that the male had been stabbed in four places, keeping his body virtually chained to the ground. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDsbDFd8avJ
They came across the second of what was sure to be four, if there had indeed already been another human present when the others had arrived as they had thought. This one had been slashed open from the small of his back to the beginning of his neck. His spine was partially ripped out over the skin, part of it standing up an odd angle. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1yHbhuUiJm
The next two bodies were found in the back room, both mutilated violently. One was missing the lower half of his body, the other was missing his arms and legs. Impressive feat for such a thin woman.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtIKt3plc6w
Farther back was a staircase. Rid was the first to make his way down. The basement room was large, separated into two by the staircase. In one area flooring along with a drain hole had been uncovered. A body lay at the far back, where the woman stared. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeNoOckpvAH
She was silent as she stared at the decomposing corpse. The rotting skeleton was male and covered with bits and pieces of rotting flesh. But she was only staring at the eyes, the only organs that had remained intact. They were the same color as her own, identical in every way. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7dAWdaWPfV
It was clear that this had been the brother of hers that he had dreamed of. Kreiten, he had been called. Rid heard the others come down the stairs as well, most investigated the other side of the room while he and Slade hung closer to the woman. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwXDE7tWrKV
The woman, called Lia in his dream, shoved her hand through the skeletons ribs and into the space where its heart would have been. When she pulled it out, a small blue-green orb lay in the palm of her hand. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8kH3Cx1IQB
“The female you were searching for is passed out in the middle tube.” She said as she closed her hand and dropped the orb into her pocket. Trace and Alder pulled the female out of the tube in the other side of the room, Her injuries were extensive, but not fatal. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ41cgDlnK5O
She, the woman, appeared at the top of the stairs in the next moment. Her voice was light with a sort of manically feigned happiness. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTdvAt2SBAq
“Places to go and people to annoy! Ciao!” With those words she ran out of the cabin. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIBIZfbj1Dl
“Rid.” Slade stated, and he turned to face his boss.635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm7KgzwcdSI
“Go after her and find out who and what she is.”635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRGP7IIJ2zM
And so, he ran out of the cabin and after the woman. 635Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvUTOf11loi
