Re: Hunter and The Thief

[questor]

Marla was not ready for children just yet. She had been entered into the breeding program but was slated to be matched with someone she had never met before. Well that was not going to happen now so waiting a bit longer would not bother her. At least until they figured out what the hell they were going to be doing now that they were basicly quit of the Order. "Now lover boy, you go get yourself dressed and ready. " She told Gabe.

She poured herself some coffee and took some of the food that was left and sat it before her. She looked over at Anubis. "Who is the one that you are going to use as a Double." she asked.

"He is a vampire that has the same build and hair style. We don't look alike but at a distance with the rough discripetion of me, he should pass off as me until we can get Morgan alone. There is a place underground, in the not so nice section of the city that will be perfect for the trap." he told her. "I will begin setting things in motion here shortly, to draw away the other hunters, and going over with Dante the route he and Banabus is going to be taking."

Dante looked over as he snatched some more from Kat's plate. "I take it I will be doing a chase scene for the benefit of Morgan and his group. Over the roof tops and such?" Anubis nodded. "And I am to let Morgan capture me? How do you thing that will go down." he looked over at Casha.

[LadyRaven]

Casha watched Gabe leave for a moment and then faced Dante. "Don't make it too easy for him." She said, "Or he might get susicious, but make sure he's the one that kills Banabus. He wants credit for that badly. He'll need to gloat over me when you bring him to the underground. Take him on a tour of the old tube lines and get his heart racing a little." As she spoke, the servant came back with the kitbag Gabe had ordered her to bring and she dumped it down with a huff. It was heavy. Casha smiled and picked the bag up again easily before putting it on the breakfast bar; away from the food of course.

In it, were a myriad of items, guns, clips, blades. A pair of heavy boots with a thick rubber heel on them. The laces were strong and thick also and she knew they would be perfect. After putting the weapons on the counter, she rumaged through for the rest of the clothes. Dark jeans, a leatherette halterneck shirt that looked more like a waistcoat and a long leather coat with all the pockets she could ever need. And last, but certainly not least, a dark stetson with a leather thong tied neatly around the base. Casha grinned darkly and sat it on top of the bag.

"We need to make sure we keep the fight as far away from the human populace as possible." She said, "Even the distraction from the lycans and such. Any bloodshed there will warrant way too much attention. Probably best to keep it in the sewers and the flood gates and I don't want him anywhere near here either. One whiff of this place and the next hunters will be crawling all over it and to be honest..." She grinned at Anubis, "I'm actually growing to love this place."

[questor]

"Oh I will give him a good show. Will play a bit of hide and seek in t he tunnels. Kind of Dark down there right?" he got a nod from Anubis. "Oh perfect." He turned to Kat, "You stay here though. Don't need them hunters seeing you." he smacked her on the ass again. "They have no idea about you and I intend to keep it that way."

He looked at the stuff Casha was digging out of the bag. Yep it was her old outfit stuff. "Now you are suppose to be captured aren't you?" he asked Casha. "Anubis is suppose to have captured you and is torturing you and the like? So is all the hardware going to be necessary, well at first glance anyways. And you haven't answered how he is to capture me. Need to know if I am going to have to put up a fight to make a good show of it all."

[LadyRaven]

Casha looked at the bag with her things and gave a lopsided grin, "I don't have to be wearing this in the beginning." She said with mirth. "But it would be nice to be wearing it at the end." She then laughed lightly as Kat rubbed her backside and began to aunter away. "Katarina!" She called. The other woman turned around with a scowl, "Maybe youd like to smooth out the toilet brush at some point?" The shock of having her ass slapped like that again had made the woman bristle. Kat scowled again and grabbed her tail, smoothing it out as she walked away.

Once she had stopped her laughing, Casha turned her attention back to Dante, "Put up a fight by all means." She said, "The bruises taste better." A cold smile, "From what I know, the old tube tunnels are a labyrinth so you just have to find yourself in a dead end somewhere." She gave him a light smile, "Can you manage that?"

[questor]

Dante nodded. He could do it and he would give Morgan a good fight. He would make sure that vampire that was to be Anubis would be close at hand as well, so Morgan could eliminate him. He wouldn't know of course that he was being sacrificed to make Morgan report he had killed Anubis. Perhaps with that done they would stop looking for him and he, well all of them could have a breather.

It might not last long but what ever time they had would be good. Especially if all went well and Casha was able to turn Morgan. Dante had an idea of how to get him into the Vatican and let him loose. Especially when he would be hungry for blood. Ah the chaos that would cause. He looked after Kat as she slauntered off. He shook his head and then went after her moving up behind her and putting his arms around her and whispered something into her ear. A few flattering words and promise of a good time after everything was done with. He kissed her neck and then told her, "Keep safe." he also whispered.

A bit later as promised Anubis began setting the stage. Lycans went out and began causing some trouble in different parts of the city. Where lycans were, there surely would be vamps that they were guarding since it was daylight. Morgan sent out the hunters to investigate, and report back their findings. The orders from Anubis though was not to kill, but to detain and terrorize their captives. This would leave only Morgan and his ten Hawk Standards and some of them would be taken care of as the chase began.

As night fell word was sent by one thought to be an informant for the Hunters. He reported that Anubis had been spotted and was on the run from some one with a sword. The discription matched Dante as did the sword that he had used to kill Cain. "Mount up people we are on the hunt."

Joseph spoke up. "What about the other hunters we sent out, we need to recall them to back us up."

Morgan laughed. "He is no match for us, or for me. Now lets go." he ordered.

Once Morgan and the others were spotted in the area, the chase began. He made sure that Morgan and the others spotted him so they would follow. Soon they spotted Barnabus as well and they followed the two. "They are on the way." he used a comlink to inform Casha and Anubis.

[LadyRaven]

Casha went with Gabe and Marla into the city once the sun had gone down. Morgan's hunters were plenty distracted so they were able to get to the underground area Anubis had described to them. Once there, Gabe set up a perimeter while Casha set up her scene with Marla. As they did that, the two women began talking. Marla wasn't impressed with her, that was for sure. "You've nothing to worry about with me and Gabe." She offered quietly as she pushed her gun into a crevice in the wall, then a knife in a gap the next brick up. "Me and him, we've hunted together for over a decade. We respect each other and we rely on each other. What you saw in the kitchen this morning..... it wasn't what it might have looked like, I promise you." she offered Marla a small smile. "And I'm happy that he's found someone worth sticking around for and that understands his ways. Me and him, we're like brother and sister these days, so you don't need to feel.... odd if you see us together, ok?"

Her keen ears began to pick up on various sounds echoing through the tunnels beneath them and Casha was just about ready. She stood up and started rubbing her body against the wall to make herself look like she'd been kept there. "Besides." She said with a grin, "Now you get to be famous." She took her hat off and tossed it down on her coat before she smoothed back the hefty braid. "You get to beat up the unbeatable MacKensie Trydant." She laughed slightly and then lifted her chin for the first hit. "Make it a good one." She said, "We need the bruises to last a while.".....

[questor]

Marla wasn't sure what to think. First the Catlady had tried to do something with Gabe and then she saw Casha hugging him and kissed him on the top of his head. It seemed as if the full moon had driven everyone sex crazy or something. When they reached the tunnels and the two were alone. Casha told her how it was between her and Gabe. Brother and Sister, well that she could live with. There were a few hunters that she shared that relationship with. She just hoped none of them were in on this hunt.

When Casha said for her to hit her and make it good, she grinned and let her have it good and not just once but a few times to make sure that she looked the part. "How's that." she asked as she looked at Casha's face and grimised. "Hope that didn't hurt to much."

Anubis watched from a vantage point well hidden as Dante and Barburus showed up. The vampire entered the tunnels and made his way to an area he had been told to go to. Then Dante entered, making sure that Morgan was almost on his heels. He cut himself with a knife and left blood smears on the walls, as if he had been in a fight with Anubis already and was going for the kill, but was wounded. He had torn his clothing also to make it look like he had been in a knock down, dragged out fight.

Anubis follwed Morgan and the Hawks into the tunnels. He used his abilities to move in and make a noise or something so that the last in line would stop and head off in another direction. All of them was hoping to take out Anubis themselves and claim the glory from Morgan. One by one he sent them down differnt tunnels until there was Morgan and two others.

That was when Dante made a turn that lead him into a dead end and he turned to retrace his steps so he could come face to face with Morgan. Now the fun would begin. Dante stopped and looked surprised and anoyed at the same time. "What the hell are you guys doing here. He is mine to kill!" Dante said with a snarl on his face.

Morgan chuckled. "You have already claimed one. This one is mine." he said. "Besides the Pope wants you in Rome...... Alive." He motioned with his hands and the two remaining Hawks moved in on Dante. He was quick and moved about them, landing punches, kicks and the like, and taking a number of hits himself, making it look good. They landed some pretty good blows on him and he was going to be sore and bruised for a while. He finally let them win, after making sure they were in alot worse shape then he was.

"You to guard him. He turned thinking the others were behind him and cursed when he didn't see the others. At that time Anubis made a run by so that Morgan would see him and then he disappeared into the darkness. Morgan snarled and ran after him, finally finding Banabus in a room, and thinking it to be Anubis. Barnabus rushed Morgan and a fight ensued. Barnabus was no weakling, as Morgan found out. He thought he was fighting Anubis, since he met the discripetion he had been given. The two made quite a lot of noise as they fought. The two Hawks guarding Dante grumbled. They had hoped to be the ones to find Anubis and kill him. They would have been well rewarded and honored.

[LadyRaven]

Casha took the blows in good grace and then when Marla stood back to admire her work so to speak, Casha touched her face lightly. The blows were good, very good, but no sooner had she spat out a globule of blood from her split lip, the wounds began to heal. Casha shook her head. "Again." She told Marla, "Use something to hit me with, a stone or something. I'm healing too quickly." At this point, Gabe came up to them and lifted an eyebrow at Casha's wounded face and neck. "Not bad." He said with a smile, but he could also see she was healing as well. Marla's fists were good and no doubt she could hold it against far more dangerous opponents than herself, but Casha needed something a little more.

Spotting a brick by her foot, Casha picked it up and handed it to Marla. She firmed her jaw slightly and grunted as she waited for the strike. This time, she knew it would hurt like hell!

[questor]

Marla's hands were sore from hitting Casha. It was like hitting a brick wall. Now because of her change the damage was healing to quickly. Not far off she could hear Dante fighting. But the sounds of the voices it was two against him. Two Hawk Standars against him and it sounded like they were having a problem with him. "Damn." she said as she looked from Casha then to Gabe. She knew he had killed Cain, and that in itself was a feat that she doubted any Hunter could match. Now taking on two Hawk Standard Hunters, hand to hand. She shook her head and then took the brick and hit Casha hard with it a few times.

Morgan and Barnabus were fighting it out hard. Morgan was good and was holding his own against a stronger apponent. Anubis watched from another room through a spy hole and smiled. Morgan was good, but he would have not been a match for him. His ability to move from one place to another and make it look as if it was with in a second would have alone done Morgan in. Vampires of the day had lost that ability a long time ago. Morgan finally got the upper hand and ran a wooden stake through Barnabus' heart. He fell to the ground and slowly turned to dust.

Since Morgan had seen vampires do this when they died, he had no reason to think Anubis would not go the same way. About Barnabus' neck had been an amulet that Anubis had worn many times and was among the discription that he had been given. This he took and held in his hand as he smiled in triumph.

Marla also heard the fight between Morgan and the fake Anubis. When she heard Morgan's triuphent shout. "Your on Casha." she said, and moved back with Gabe. Casha now had to make some noise or something to bring Morgan to her and then do her thing. Marla took Gabe by the arm and retreated more into the darkness so they would not be seen.

[LadyRaven]

The brick did the job and Casha actually fell back a few steps after the final hit and held her hand up, "Enough!" She breathed and then coughed. It wasn't just her face Marla had hit with the brick. Normally, this would have left her with a few broken ribs and feeling down her side, she could feel where they would have broken. And from the growing bruises there, it looked that way too. She coughed a few times and then actually spat out a tooth. Her face was practically mush now and the way she could feel it all healing, it would look like she had been beaten down for a good long while. Morgan would definitely fall for this!

As Gabe and Marla melted into the shadows, Casha leaned back against the wall and slid down to a crouch with her hands behind her back to look like she had been bound as well as beaten. Nothing less really for the Vatican's finest. With her gun little more than an inch away and her knife even less so, Casha let out a faded groan that she knew would travel and echo just enough for Morgan to pick it up. "Come and get me, asshole." She whispered to herself.

In the shadows, Gabe cocked his gun ready and then pressed himself to the wall. While Morgan would be distracted with Casha, he would collect Dante and Anubis and then backtrack. It wouldn't take long for the penny to drop, so he knew he had to be quick. It sadenned him that he might have to kill the two Hawks watching Dante, but he would do it if he had to. Preferably, he wanted them alive to send the message back that Anubis and MacKensie were dead and he didn't like the idea of letting Morgan go back either. Vampire or not, he could still open his mouth enough to cause more trouble later and he honestly wanted some downtime now. Knowing Casha could still see him in the dark, he gave a low whistle for her to moan again. Morgan was taking too long.

In response to Gabe's whistle, Casha let out another low groan. If he didn't hurry up, her bruises wouldn't look convincing enough. worried over this now, Casha turned her face to the wall and quickly scraped her skin along it either side to open the wounds again.

Back at the mansion, Kat wandered the place looking as bored as could be. She was worried for Dante and for the rest of them and she hated being left behind like this, but at least the servants provided some light amusement. While she waited for news, she had a couple of them groom her. The toilet brush remark had stung and so she made sure her tail was as sleek and shiny as the rest of her fur. And she couldn't find Frenchy anywhere so she couldn't annoy him either. He was probably in the thick of things, writing in his little notepads as she had seen him doing all over the place. After deciding she was looking like perfection again, she decided to go rummaging through Marla's personal things. The clothes from her kitbag were scattered over the bed and what little jewelery the woman had was quickly tossed somewhere else. Kat was right, the hunter had even less taste than Casha! She would take her shopping as soon as possible. The three of them together. This made her smile and she laughed quietly, hoping Gabe had good credit because he was going to need it!

[questor]

Morgan lifted the amulet up and looked at it, well pleased with himself. He had the proof that Anubis was dead. He had the amulet which was older then anything he had seen. Then he heard a moan and a voice that was familiar. He moved towards it, a flashlight in one hand, his gun now in the other, with the amulet about his neck. He came to the room where Casha was and he shined the light on her and then found a light switch and turned it on. The lights were covered in dust but still was able to light up the area.

He laughed as he saw her, the bruises and ruffed up look. "He was no match for me." He gloated. "Look at you. He beat the shit out of you and made you a prisoner. Eagle Stanadard, Ha! I deserved it more then you ever did, and this proves it." he lifted up the amulet. This will prove to the pope who is the best, who is Eagle Standard!"

When Dante heard Morgan shouting, bragging and taunting Casha. He opened his eyes and looked at the two Hawk Standards. They had turned their backs to him, listening to what Morgan was saying. He grinned as he got to his feet and moved silently up behind them and smacked their heads together. They went down and he left them there. Anubis watched again from a spy hole wanting to see what Casha Did.

[questor]

Casha half turned her head to Morgan's voice, but kept it low enough that he could only see the top of her head. She smiled to herself, wondering how long she could milk this before turning on him. "Then, I guess you win, Morgan." She coughed, then spat some blood out on his boot....

He laughed. "The Great Mackenzie, beaten, captured, trussed up like a prize." he moved forward to her and pushed her with his foot. I will be happy to show you off to the Hawks I have here. Show them the great Mackenzie, beaten and broken." he laughed again. Dante heard it and had to contain his laughter. Morgan was digging his grave deeper and deeper.

Casha grunted and fell down to her side slightly, but then righted herself once more. "Pity you cain't claim that accalaid yourself." She coughed, "It took Anubis and four of his lackies to do this to me. What could do that would be worse?" She finally looked up, showing her battered face. It looked like she'd been beaten for days.....

He looked down at her and grinned. "Well he was nothing to beat. If he did this to you, it only proves you are weak and not deserving of the Eagle Standard." He shook his head and looked at her in disgust. "Come on weakling. I am to bring you and Dante back to his eminence." He reached down to grab her and drag her to her feet.

Casha grunted as Morgan grabbed her, feigning the injury to the hilt, but as he pulled her up, she grabbed her gun and knife and then stood face to face with him. "Is that so?" She asked. Some of her wounds were beginning to heal over, "So if you're to take us back to Rome, why pray tell, is Dante stood atop the stairs with your precious Hawks' weapons?" She nodded then to Gabe and Marla in the shadows and gabe happily stepped out and put the barrel of his gun neatly to the back of Morgan's head. "Hello again, Morgan." Gabe said snidely. "Wanna try dodging a bullet this close? I'd love to see you try.".....

Dante moved down to the room holding the guns of the two Hawks. "Nice guns. Might keep them." he moved of to the side smiling. His bruises already healing. He tucked one of the guns in his belt and then moved up and took Morgan's from his hand. "Ohhhhhhh even nicer. Mind if I keep this one. Even has the Eagle Standard insignia on the hand grips." he moved back and that is when Anubis moved into the room. "Think killing me is that easy? Really, you are to sure of yourself." He pulled the amulet from his neck and handed it to Gabe. "Like he said it will be proof that I am dead. Now we will have to think of how to make it look as if you are dead. He moved to the side of Casha.
Lady Raven says:
Casha licked her lips slightly as more and more of her bruises faded, leaving only the worst of her injuries to remain. She curled her mouth into a cold smile, "I see you still haven't learned what I tried so hard to teach you, Morgan." She offered, "I warned you time and again that your arrogance and selfishness would one day be your undoing. And yet, you still defy me, even now. Have you never listened at all?" She moved up close to him and looked up into his cold grey eyes, now filled with fear and confusion. "Long ago, when I was promised to you, I told you then, I would never belong to you. Do you remember? I remember. You laughed at me and told me you would see to it I suffered every dispicable thing you could imagine." She breathed in his scent, "But you see, Morgan, my love. I was right. I will never belong to you. I have never belonged to you. I belong to one that has waited for thousands of years for me and you, megre, selfish mortal, will never know that kind of peace." In the cold light, she flashed her fangs at him and smiled before she gave him a soft kiss. She then moved back to Anubis and put her hand on his chest. "Take him upstairs and we shall see who really is the worthy name." Gabe made no question about turning around and pushing Morgan towards the doorway.....

Dante raised a brow at what she said. It sounded like she was going to give Morgan a chance to fight her. Now that was something he didn't want to miss. But of course there was still the problem of the other eight Hawks that were roaming around and would eventually find their way to the surface and might interfere. Then there was the two that he had knocked out. "Don't start without me." he said and went to drag the two back up to the surface. Anubis grinned. "Don't worry about the others. They are now being entertained you might say. They are hunting what they think those that are me. They will lead them on a merry chase and then disapear. We will have plenty of time." he helped Dante with the two hunters. Once out of the tunnels they dropped them on the ground, making sure that they were still out cold. Dante took the amulet from Gabe and placed it in one of the hunter's hands.

Gab led Morgan carefully towards the flood gates and then down and out into gulley so they would not be disturbed. A group of lycans arrived to make sure of it and Casha smiled as she felt the fresh air on her face again. She passed her coat and hat to Marla, she wouldn't see them ruined. Gabe laughed at this and gave Morgan another shove. "What's the matter, Eagle Standard?" he asked with sarcasm, "Cat got your tongue? Or are you just lost for words?".....

Morgan turned and snarled at Gabe, when he put the gun to his head. Then he saw Anubis enter the room and his eyes went wide. It couldn't be, he killed him, but looking closer, he could see it was not the same one he had killed. That is when he realized he had been duped. Fear began to fill him. He was alone and surrounded by those that hated him. He looked at Gabe and spat, "Traitors." he said and looked at Marla, "Both of you are traitors." When Casa showed him her fangs his eyes widened. She was one of them. Even though fear filled him, he cursed her and called her a traitor and a blood sucker. When they were outside and surrounded now by lycans. "You will all die. When my team returns they will kill you all."

The surrounding lycans closed in a little, but stayed back far enough to let the fight happened without interference. "They won't be coming back for you, Morgan." Casha told him smoothly. Gabe backed off, pulling Marla with him, taking his place to complete the circle. He never thought he'd stand at the shoulder of a lycan and not kill it, but he lowered his gun anyway and nodded with a smile, "I've got a fifty in my pocket that says she kicks his nuts up to his throat." he said to the drooling lycan next to him. Casha moved forward slightly and took her stance. "You can shout and yell all you like, and condemn us all you wish. After tonight, no-one will listen.".....

The lycan next to Gabe changed back to his human form and shook his head, "I'm not a fool to take that bet." he grinned. "Way to go though man. Last night with the lady. Have to commend you on making her scream out like that." he said in a low voice so Marla couldn't hear and gave Gabe a slap on the back. Morgan spat on the ground and took up a stance. He like Mac had been trained to fight vampires, even with their strength advantage.

Casha smiled and lifted her fists. She moved around him slightly, waiting for him to make his move. She knew he would eventually, patience had never been his strongest value. Gabe laughed quietly, "Thanks." He whispered, "Not bad for a dumb grunt from the Army, eh?" He waited for a moment for the information to sink in. "I'm gonna enjoy this. The last fight they had, she broke six of his
ribs.".....

Morgan made his move, jumping, spinning, and lashing out with his right foot, aimed at her head.

For Casha, Morgan's move seemed almost in slow motion. She watched him shift his weight and then change his centre of gravity as he kicked out at her. All she had to do was duck. Of course, she could cheat and simply vanish before his eyes, but she wanted to savour this. Ducking down quickly, she dug her toe in and spun around and then arched into a backflip. he landed with a few inches to spare and she curled her fist towards his face.....

He landed and was shocked he had not landed his blow to her head. Suddenly she was right there and her fist was inches from this face. He tried to turn and lean back to avoid it but not good enough.

[LadyRaven]

Casha's fist made contact with Morgan just below his left eye and she watched him spin around. As she waited for him to right himself, she smelled his blood on her knuckles and licked them with a sigh.
"You fucking bitch!" He shouted, rubbing some off the blood off his cheek. Straightening himself out again, he came at her a second time. "You wanna play like that? Then we'll play like that!" He swung his huge fist hard and wide, bringing it round and connecting with her jaw.
Casha spun back a step, then smiled as she licked hte blood from her lip. "Oh, you have no idea how much I'm gonna enjoy this." She said.

On the side line with his new lycan friend, Gabe laughed quietly and folded his arms and then grinned as he rocked back and forth on his feet. "You'd think after more than 20 years, he might have realized that he can't win." he shook his head, "That's divine retribution if I ever saw it."

As the words were spoken, Casha spun on her heel and then flipped back, striking Morgan with the heel of her boot. After that, several kicks and punches were traded. It was like going back in time to watch them fight. Both bloodied, both aching, but neither willing to give in. After nearly half an hour and yet another savage blow to his midsection, Morgan dropped to his knees and coughed his blood onto the ground. "Oh, now this is familiar." Casha chortled, remembering things in perfect detail as she walked in a circle around him. "As I recall, my foot found your jaw at this point and you were unconscious for two days."
"Fuck you!" Morgan spat, "You blood sucking, fucking whore!"
Casha laughed as she cracked her knuckles and licked more blood from her lip. "Blood sucking, yes, I'll give you that." She admitted, "But calling me a whore? Now that's below the belt, Morgan."
Morgan coughed again, feeling every crack in his ribs, every torn muscle from his shoulder to his groin. "That's what you are and that's all you'll ever be."
Casha rolled her shoulders and then her neck. "I'd rather be Anubis' whore for eternity." She told him, "Than be married to a man like you." She lifted her boot and planted it firmly in his face. Morgan went down like a sack of stones and laid in a star shape on the concrete. Casha moved up to him and put her boot to his throat, "But I'll tell you something for nothing. No man on this earth could possibly compare to the life and freedom he has given me and mine, and I wouldn't trade that for all the faith in the world."
As Morgan's eyes went wide with realization, Casha twisted her boot and broke his neck clean in two. His body jarred just once and then went limp.

Casha walked away without a second thought and took her hat and coat from Marla. "I thought you were gonna turn him." Gabe offered as he watched her put her coat on and then sit her stetson with pride over her brow.
"He called me a whore." She said as though it had actually hurt her feelings. Gabe could only nod with a raised brow as she walked away from him to Anubis......

[LadyRaven]

Dante sighed. He had hoped to fake some ID's to make it look like he was a Hawk Standard and take an unconscious but turned Morgan to the Vatican and let him loose and let the blood lust hunger take it from there. But he guessed it would be better this way. He bent down and retrieved the amulet and placed it about Morgan's neck. The two Hawks would have heard the battle between Barnabus and Morgan. They would know he had killed "Anubis." Now someone killed Morgan. They would take that information back to the Pope. But what about Casha. They had to find a way to make them think she was dead. See her body, maybe next to Morgans. But be unable to take the bodies. "Ok now he is dead, Anubis is suppose to be dead, now what about you?" he turned to Casha. They have to think you are truely dead this time."

Casha gave this some thought and then turned around to face Dante. She removed her coat, but left her hat on and then pulled out her gun. "We'll send them proof." She said, turning the gun around and holding it out to him. "Find a phone with a camera and leave it with one of the hunters."....

Dante searched the two and came up with one. "Here."

"Ok." She said, "So shoot me already and take the picture."....

"What?" he asked

Casha held out her gun further, "I said shoot me and take the picture. They want proof I'm dead, right? You can aim for a flesh wound, surely. So long as it bleeds enough on the ground, it'll look like I'm dead.".....

He looked over at Anubis with a questioning look.

Casha lifted an eyebrow and looked to Anubis also. "Well someone's gotta do it." She said, then looked around for Gabe. He wouldn't hesitate. But he had gone with Marla and some of the lycans to start rounding up the other hunters.....

Dante sighed and took the gun, "You know I have never liked guns and never used them." he told her and the brought the gun up and fired.

"I know." She replied with a smile and then gritted her teeth as he lifted the gun to her side and fired. The shock robbed her of breath and she quickly hit the deck. "Ow!" The wound bled quickly and made a small pool around her side from her hip to her ribs and she laid back....

As she laid there quietly he took a picture of it, placed the phone in the hunter's hand, the gun in Morgan's hand. He grinned at that. "You lie there and we will wake these two. Then the other lycans here we can have show up out of nowhere and with out their weapons I am sure they will run like hell. But after seeing you and Morgan dead. it will even look like he killed you."

"Not a problem." Casha grunted as she smothered a hand with her blood and put it over the bullet hole. It was healing, but it hurt like hell. She put her head down again and closed her eyes so she could play dead for the hunters....

Dante went back to the two hunters, chewed his lower lip a bit as he motioned Anubis and the lycans to go into the shadows. He then broke a vial of smelling salts and put it under their noses. When they began coming around, he walked off past the two on the ground. The two Hawks woke up with a start and jumped to their feet looking around. They spotted the bodies on the ground and the blood. One approached them and took the amulet from around Morgans broken neck. The other looked at his hand and the phone there. Then the one looked up and saw Dante leaving. Dante turned his head and gave them a mock salute. It looked as if the two fought, Morgan shot Mac, and Dante killed Morgan for killing her. He might be still hunted but they would not know where to find him. Then the lycans began howling and began to appear and as Dante expected, with out weapons they ran for it.

Casha remained as she was until she heard the hunters run off and then opened her eyes again. She groaned softly and then propped herself up on her elbows. "A little help here." She said, thenf lopped back down again, "Jesus, I hate getting shot." She said as she felt the bullet being pushed out from the wound....

Anubis came forward and picked her up into his arms. "You look quite good for a dead woman." he grinned.

Casha grunted again and put her arm around his thick neck, "I ain't dead yet." She said with a cough...

Dante collected her gun and the eagle standard ring from Morgan's finger and put the ring in his pocket and added the gun to the others he now carried. "Feel like a damned arsenal." he mumbled. Anubis carried her out followed by the lycans. Everything had gone well and now they needed to get back to the mansion and wait for all the Hawks to leave. Marla with Gabe returned letting them know the others were now being lead to the other two who they had saw running like death was after them. "They will all be meeting shortly and hopefully those two will have enough to convince everyone that the two of you are dead."

[questor]

From a distance a lone figure stood watching what had transpired. His long leather coat gently flapped in the breeze. Not a single Hawk Standard had been killed, though they could have been very easily. Reports coming in form those hunters that had been lead on a wild goose chase through the city had also not been harmed. This indeed was strange. Anubis didn't care how many hunters died, had killed thousands through the centuries. But here he had shown mercy.

He turned the ring on his finger. An ornate silver band with a blood red Stone mounted on it. He saw him pick up Mackenzie and carry her off and her put her arms about his neck. The hard nose, and deadliest hunter of the Order in the arms of the now most infamous vampire? Then the Two Hawk Standard Hunters Gabe and Marla. Working with Anubis and the one called Dante. The one that had killed Cain with a sword that was very unique. Kills the creator of Anubis, but sides with Anubis. Indeed very strange.

The wind whipped his long leather coat behind him on his right side, revealing a low slung holster and a gun with in it. On the pistol grips were again blood red stones embedded with in. The man chuckled and walked away. "Soon, Anubis, soon. But first I want to see what you are up to."

[questor]

Kat had been pacing the house for hours and had not heard a thing frome anyone. She had patience, but there was a limit to it. As the night wore on, she felt that limit being stretched further and further. She was worried, angry, annoyed, even frightened to some extent. She knew she was safe in the mansion, but without her new family, that safety could vanish quickly. And she worried for them. Dante had all but married her, the way he treated her and acted with her. Casha was fast becoming the closest thing to a sister she could hope for and Anubis, the caring benefactor and brother she could rely on. Even Gabe and Marla had been somewhat graced into the family too, though for pureply selfish reasons on her part. As she watched the moon travel across the sky, she quietly asked for them all to return safely. Probably the first and only unselfish thing she could manage. On the way home, Casha's mind went over carefully, everything that had transpired. It had all gone to plan, of course, but she felt as though she had missed something. She remained silent about it and simply let Anubis be the caring lover and take her home......

Dante took out his cell phone as he made his way from the tunnels. Besides the weight of all the guns and the sword across his back, his body felt the pain of the bruises that were healing and the cracked ribs. Those would take a bit to heal. He groaned a bit at the pain from the cracked ribs as he dialed Kat's phone. Marla went with gabe and another group of the lycans to make sure that the Hawks made it back together. Then they left them be. Joseph took the amulet and the phone with the picture of both Morgan and Mac's bodies. "We heard him and Anubis fighting and his triumpant yell, before we were knocked out by Dante. It seems that Morgan found Mackenzie and she didn't take his killing her prey to well. Knowing their history, it looks as if they fought and Morgan shot her.We saw Dante walking away when we woke up and saw Morgans body there with a broken neck. He killed Morgan for killing Mackenzie." The two told him. Joseph nodded and made the call to Rome. He reported Anubis dead as well as Morgan and Mackenzie. He then gathered everyone together and took them back to the Hunter's base, so they could all return to their teams. The regular hunters returned and were given new orders and departed.

After her little prayer to the moon, Kat found herself sat in front of the TV, flicking through the channels with no particular desire to watch anything. Eventually, she turned it off again and laid back to stair at the ceiling and comfort herself by stroking her tail. It seemed an age before she heard her phone buzz in her purse. as quick as a flash, she whipped it out and breathed a sigh of relief as the caller ID came back as Dante. "Dante?" She asked quicky, "Dante, where are you? Are you alright? Are you hurt? Is Casha OK?"....

Dante chuckled and then groaned because of his ribs. "Yeah babe. Everyone is alright. Just a bit beat up from the game I had to play. Nothing that won't heal in a short time. Be back soon sexy." he smiled and finally made it to the cars that had been brought. He sighed in releif as he got into the back seat of one and relaxed. The man walked back to a black limo and got in. "Back to the house." he told the driver. He then pulled out a phone and made a call. "Need everything we have on Anubis and the Hunter called Mackenzie Trydant. Send it to the House."

Kat almost cried in relief, "How soon is soon?" She asked, "Are the others with you? Are they coming home too? Is the other hunter dead? Are we safe now?"......

"Yes Morgan is dead, the others have gone, and we have been able to make them think Anubis and Casha is dead. We are on our way back. Marla and Gabe as well."

Kat nodded and sighed again in relief, "That's good news." She said. "I'll be waiting for you all at the door." she then remembered the state she had left Marla's room in and quickly snapped her fingers at a servant. "Hot baths and cocoa for everyone.".....She said to Dante on the phone and then covered the mouthpiece as she told the servant to clean up Marla's room.....

An hour later the cars pulled up to the front of the mansion and Dante got out of the car, and Anubis got out and helped Casha out. Marla and Gabe got out of the third one. Dante saw Kat and opened his arms for her.

As promised, Kat was waiting for them at he front door and when she saw Dante, she quickly ran down the steps and pounced on him, wrapping her entire body around him and she hugged him. Gabe held out his hand to Marla and smiled at Dante and Kat before heading for the house. Casha also got out of the car, but leaned on Anubis as they walked to the house. She still felt rough from the gunshot even though it had healed over now. Not to mention the various other injuries that had also healed, but remained sore....

As Kat wrapped her self around Dante, he winced in pain. The ribs were still healing and still painful. "Careful, sweetie. Still not healed up." He kissed her and continued on into the mansion. He was also a mess from being on the floor of the tunnels. They had been filthy. "I need a bath." he said.

Kat nodded and smiled, "It's already being taken care of." She told him, then looked at the others. Casha looked as rough as hell and Kat lifted an eyebrow, "Was she hurt bad?" She asked Dante....

[questor]

Dante got back inside the mansion finally and gently pulled Kat off of him. He then unloaded the guns from his pockets and the back of his belt and put them on a table. Removing the sword from across his back he placed it on the table as well. "She is alright." Dante told her. "I had to shoot her." He put up a hand before she could say anything, "It was her idea and I was not to fond of it. But it had to be done to make her death convincing."

"Now help me up stairs and out of these filthy things and let me take that hot bath." he felt exausted now after everything that had happened.


Once the man in black arrived at what seemed to be a ranch out in the middle of no where, and the car stopped infront of a modest ranch house he got out. In side the house in the living room sat a computer. The man approached it and turned it on and then began typing in passwords and other informaion until a screen appeared with the information he wanted. Everything was there, his who history. It told where he had been and when, even had names of hunters he had killed, and other people. "A very hard man you are Anubis. You have been a very bad boy over the centuries.

Then he read Mac's file. It was impressive and then he saw the name of her mother. "Ahhhhh so the church turned you into one of their prized hunters. He read about the blood line and shook his head. "Ahhhhh so the sprit of Akasha has returned. No wonder such a bad boy has calmed down. Interesting.

He then sent in a request for all information on the one called Dante but when the reply came back it said there was no data on anyone by that name. "Well now it seems that someone missed something here." he leaned back in the chair he was sitting in. "An unknown. We will have to remedy that, and see if you are a threat to anyone my young abnormal.

Back at the Mansion, Anubis helped Casha back up to their room so she could change, and bath as well. "Hopefully the Order will go seek other targets now and things here can proceed."

[LadyRaven]

Kat was quick to help Dante up the stairs and as promised, the smell of hot water and soap drifted through from their provate bathroom. Fresh towels and clean clothes had been laid out for him and the bed had been freshly changed also. The room was immaculate and a servant waited in silence, to take his dirty clothes away. Kat undressed her lover, hissing slightly at the lingering bruises around his rubs and carefully eased him into the bath. She didn't get in, instead, removing her shirt and dunking the soap puff into the water. She would let him relax entirely tonight and she would do everything for him. Well, within reason anyways.

Next door, a similar scene waited for Casha. A servant was ready to take her clothes away and a bath, fresh clothes and a clean bed was waiting for her. Casha removed her clothes and arched her back and shoulders slightly, showing the many injuries that had yet to heal. The worst being a fragment of bone that was easing it's way back into place on her spine. Morgan's boot had knocked the tip off. She staggered into the water and slowly ducked right under it. The grease and blood began to melt away and she relaxed.

Further down the hall, the same thing again waited for Gabe and Marla, though in their seperate rooms. Gabe entered his, leaving his door open should Marla decide to join him. He stripped off and stepped into the tub, but insted of sitting in it and relaxing, he turned the shower head on full and stood under the hot jets with his head down.

Downstairs, the servants began moving around quickly to make sure the house was spotless and a fully buffet meal was ready so they could all eat. Many of the servants also washed as was Anubis' habit should he or Casha need something more substantial than mere food.

Upstairs in the tub, Casha finally brought her head back up and then rested it back on a soft bath cushion. The feeling that she had missed something was still there and she closed her eyes to walk through her memory and figure out what it was......

[questor]

Frenchy finally drove himself back up to the house. He had been one not to miss a single moment of what was going on. His note book and new I Pad, had all the information that had been done. He whiseled as he went to his room and began compiling everything. In his notes was another side note about a stranger that had been watching everything. He wondered if he should mention that to Anubis and Casha, as she was now calling herself.

Dante relaxed in the tub, letting the hot water sooth the aching flesh. He took Kat's hand and brought it to his lips and kissed it, and with his other reached up and caressed her face. "Thanks babe."


Marla stripped and threw her clothes down on the floor and grabbed the fresh ones and headed over to Gabes room. On her way out she told the servents, "Take all my stuff across the hall." she grinned and strode naked to Gabes room and into the bathroom. She saw him standing there letting the hot water from the shower run over him. She stepped into the tub and put her arms around him. "Care to share."

Of course Anubis was doing what he could to make sure Casha was comfortable and healing. He kissed her neck and shoulders as she soaked.

When the Pope got the call he was not to happy. He had lost two Eagle Standards and they had failed to capture Dante. Even though Anubis was dead, he wanted Dante and his unique blood. He was not yet done with searching for Dante. "Joseph. You will continue the search for Dante. You will bring him to me!" Joseph could only accept the assignment and prepared himself for a longer stay in LA.

[LadyRaven]

Kat smiled gently at him as she carefully rubbed the puff all over him, "You're welcome." She told him, "Anything for my knight in shining armour, especially when he also happens to be my lover." She leaned over and kissed his forehead gently before returning to washing him down. "I've ordered the servants to make up some food for everyone." She said, "Though it might not be enough for Casha. If that's what happens when she gets shot, I'd hate to see her really hurt. I hope she'll feel ok again soon. She and I have a lot of unfinished business with a lovely human called Kenneth."

Gabe gave a lopsided grin as he heard and then felt Marla join him in the shower. The water was already knee deep with the bath that had been run for him so he turned the shower off and turned around to put his arms around her bare middle. "With you, anytime." He said and leaned down to kiss her softly. He wasn't intending on anything more than cuddling up and a few kisses tonight, though that was subject to change later on if he felt up to it.

Casha turned her head slightly to see Anubis wandering around like he was lost. "The tub's big enough." She offered with a small smile. "You can wash my back if you like?"

[questor]

Anubis stripped and entered the large tub and slid behind her and took the cloth and soaped it up to do her back. "How did it feel making a punching bag out of him." he asked her. Frenchy got all his notes in order as the others were getting cleaned up and went down and began piling his plate with goodies. He was enjoying the life with these abnormals and recording their daily lives. Though Gabe and Marla were not abnormals he still included them in his notes. They had become apart of the family so to speak. At least that was what the one called Kat kept implying. He kind of liked that idea. He sat down in the main room where the feast had been laid out and eat and drank as he waited for them to come on down. If he had been a younger man he might have been tempted to enjoy the pleasures of one of the lovely creatures he had seen running around.


Casha sighed gently as Anubis soaped up her back and then rinsed it down. That final injuries healed and she groaned in relief before leaning back against Anubis in the tub. "It felt like going back in time." She said to him, "Him and me going at it in the gym, neither one willing to back down. Me beating him and kicking him down, telling him to stay down." She offered a distant smile, "Only this time." She continued, "I killed him instead.".....

Anubis chuckled as she told him how she had felt. "Now he is gone for good." he kissed her neck. "Wonder what his holiness said when he found out about the two of you being dead." He was probably ranting and raving and not being very holy about it.

Casha closed her eyes and leaned her head slightly over his colarbone, "I couldn't care less." She said, "My time with the Pope, with his church, his order, are done. My life of servitude is done. My fate is my own.".....

"Free from the oppression of the Church." he grinned and kissed her neck some more. He moved the cloth to the front of her and began washing her chest and her lovely tits and then moved down lower. "Everything has worked out perfectly."

Casha sighed again softly and nodded, but she still couldn't shake the feeling of missing something. "As I planned." She whispered, then sighed again as she felt his hand move lower in the water, but then put her own hand over his, "Not tonight." She whispered. The conversation from that morning was still fresh in her mind.....

He kind of figured they would not be doing anything that night. He didn't think any of them would be doing anything until they recovered completely. "You seem a bit distracted though, is something wrong?" he asked.

Casha opened her eyes and tilted her hed enough to look at him, "No." She said, shaking her head slightly, "Just...... It's nothing." She turned her head back and closed her eyes again......

"Oh? You think there is something wrong with tonights doings?" he asked.

Cashs shook her head again, "The plan was flawless." She said, "I accounted for everything possible, I'm sure I did." She relaxed back into him again, "I'm seeing demons where there are none, I'm sure, I am."......

"Your hunches were always based on something." he told her, "I trust your feelings more then I would any other."

Casha smiled softly and traced her fingernail over his knee, "I'll be fine." She offered, "I'm tired, I'm wired.. and I'm very hungry." She made to get out of the tub.....

He rose with her and grabbed a towel to begin drying her off. In the other rooms Dante rose from the tub his stomach growling. "Mmmmmm I think I can polish off everything that is probably on the table." he dried off and then wrapped his arms about Kat. Marla leaned back against Gabe in the tub and sighed contently.

Casha smiled softly as she returned the favour and dried Anubis off. Then a servant arrived with a long satin nightgown, backless, of course, and Casha put it on before moving back to Anubis once more. The servant had brought him some soft trousers and a robe if he wished to wear it. Kat quickly got a towel for Dante when he stood up and then smiled as he mentioned food. "Goody, I'm starving!" She chirped and quickly made her way downstairs. Still in the tub with Marla, Gabe felt hungry, but he was tired more. He rose from it and grabbed a towel for himself and Marla. He dried off roughly and then went into the bedroom where he flopped down in it face first.....

Marla followed and smacked him on his ass. "Not hungry?" she asked. Anubis took Casha down to the food and once Dante had some clothes on he followed Kat down. At the site of them French stood up grinning. "Interesting, night. Enjoyed watching everything that I could." he sipped some wine. "But I think there might be a flaw in your plan for the night." he looked at them all trying to see if any may have seen the man. "Ok, I take it that none of you saw the man in the darkness? The One dressed in a long black leather coat? The one that was not of the Order?"

Casha offered a small smile to Frenchy, nodding at his excitement for recording the events that night. She moved towards the food and it smelled delicious, but that wasn't what she truly wanted or needed. Then, from her peripheral, she smelled something far more tasty. Not only had the servants laid out a beautiful buffet, they had also placed a hot decanter filled with blood on the table's end. Without a word, she grabbed a large wine glass and literally filled it to the brim with the warm blood. Kat gave her a very funny look, she didn't know Casha actually drank blood. Frenchy carried on his talking and the he mentioned something that not only pricked Cashas's mind, but turned the entire thing upside down and dropped it again. Trying not to spit out the blood or drop the glass for that matter, she stepped forward quickly. It wasn't something she had missed, it was someone! "A shadow." She said quietly, "Eyes watching from a distance. Silver and blood."....

French took another sip of his wine. He noted Casha's reaction. "Ahhhhhh I have been of some assistance then?" he asked and smiled. Dante groaned, "All of that and someone sees us faking things. He sat down shaking his head. Anubis looked at Casha, "Silver and blood?"

Casha blinked a few times and then stared into her glass. "It won't be reported." She said to Dante, "The shadow man." She shook her head again and finished the blood in her glass. It sent a small shiver of pleasure down her spine before she put the glass down again and picked up a slice of pie. She put it on a plate and poked at it with a fork. "Somethings, I remember a little skewif. Like I remember it, but I don't understand it fully."....

"Why won't it be reported?" Dante asked. "Some one saw us, saw you kill Morgan and the whole thing."

Casha poked the pie another few times and then put it back down on the table. She then shook her head, "The man watching us isn't part of the Order." She said, "If he was, he would have got involved. As Frenchy said, he just sat there and watched." She shook her head again, "Blood and silver, blood and silver. I know this from somewhere, I'm sure of it." But she wasn't sure. Was it her memory, or was akasha's?....

[questor]

"Well who ever it is I don't like it." Dante said. Someone knew and that could ruin everything that they had planned. He turned to French. "Well you have monitored abnormals all your life and so has most of those that you know. Who could this guy be?"

Frenchy rubbed his jaw a moment. He looked over at Casha. "Silver and Blood. A good choice of words my dear. There be others out there that even you don't know about. Even though you have been around a long time they really haven't shown themselves in their true forms for millinum. It is beleived that Cain was transformed into what he was by one of these creatures, one you would call a Demon. Not sure how and all since their blood is quite poisoness to humans. But their need to feed on blood and flesh has been recorded by a few of those in the begining."

He sipped more of his wine and put a piece of meat in his mouth and chewed it. "But the man in black was not one of those or those called Angels." he looked around knowing everyone would have heard about angels. "Yes they are real but not in the sence of the Bible. They like the Demons are a race of creatures that are not of this world, that is for sure. I would have to dig through quite a bit of very, very old records to get all the info we have on them. But back to the man. Around the time....." he nodded to Anubis, you were created by Cain, like us chronicalors, there arose a group called the brotherhood. Primative but they got the hang of killing the Demons that loved to feed on humans."

That Brotherhood has evolved over the millinum and hunts the demons and the angles. For the Angels are not all that they have been hyped up to be. They are just as evil as the demons, feeding off the energy of humans and other creatures. Only those known as the fallen have ever helped mankind."

Again he munched on some food. "This man is probably with the Brotherhood. Don't get me wrong, if he feels you are a threat to mankind he and his kind will not hesitate to eliminate you. But they are not as adament about killing all abnormals as the Order is. Their sign is the Blood Red Stone, the Blood Stone. It is usually incased in silver, a ring, an amulet, or even in the grips of their weapons."

[LadyRaven]

Casha went back to the hot decanter and poured herself another glass of blood as Frenchy spoke. She listened carefully and then nodded in understanding. When he finished, she moved around the room slightly and then looked out over the still darkened gardens. It would be a few hours yet until dawn. She drank the blood and closed her eyes. Kat was the first to speak.

"I like them already." She said openly, "I'm not threat to humans, but the Order would kill me anyway. Way to go for the Brotherhood!"

Casha gave a small look of annoyance over her shoulder at Kat and ten turned her gaze back to the gardens. She sipped at the blood and folded her arms over with the glass sat in one hand over her elbow. She had heard rumours of such a clan of hunters, but she had never been in contact with them, at least not that she remembered. But then, she had to have been, or she wouldn't have remembered the blood and silver. Casha closed her eyes and went back to her mental map.

Clyde Manor, Scotland - Hiding again. That was her favourite trick. She was escaping a priest and his belt. She'd snuck into the vestry after evening prayers and caught him with one of the nuns. Skirts up and bent over the desk. She didn't know why, but she was only four. Now he was after her again with his belt. He wouldn't know where to find her, she'd perfected the art of disappearing a while ago. Besides, he would never think to look under his own pulpit shelf! Then came voices. The priest was frightened. Her name was mentioned. She looked out through a small hole in the wood. The priest was talking to a big man, huge even! He had a long black coat; looked like the monks from her books. The stranger wasn't happy and his voice got louder and louder. She didn't understand him, he was speaking latin. She knew he was, but she didn't understand it proper yet. The priest understood him very well. He was shaking. The stranger grabbed the priest and she saw a big silver ring on his finger with a deep red stone in it. Blood and Silver.

Casha's eyes snapped open. Now she remembered! "Blood and silver." She said quietly. "They came for me at the old orphanage. The priest wouldn't let them take me. He lied and said I wasn't there. I remembered his ring. A deep blood stone on a silver ring. It was engraved. He was dressed like a monk. The priest in charge of the home sent me to Rome the next day and I never saw him again." She turned her eyes to Frenchy, "I was four, so it never made sense to me. When I told the priest, he told me I'd burn in hell if I ever spoke about it again.".....

[questor]

"Ah not yet there little kitten. But look who you are running with now." he nodded to Casha and Anubis. In the Begining Akasha was not a very nice girl as Anubis was not a nice boy. In Cains empire they ruled by fear and bloodshed." he looked at Anubis. The Vampire gave the old man a look but he sighed and had to nod his head in agreement.

"Yes indeed and through the years he has lead a life of bloodshed. I am surprised that the Brotherhood had not been sent after you old boy. Perhaps they thought the Order would take care of you, but you were to good for that bunch." he turned back to Kat again. "So make no mistake little one, they won't hesitate to eliminate you as well if they feel he is a threat to mankind.

Dante looked at Frenchy, "So you are telling us that Demons and Angels actually exist?"

Frenchy smiled and nodded. "Oh yes but not as many now as there was back at the begining. The war between the two races saw to that, and the desertion of the Fallen from the ranks of the Angels."

"The Fallen? Acording to the church they were the evil angels, the ones that tormented mankind and the like." Dante interjected.

Frenchy laughed. "You believe what the church says after all you have been through? No my friend The Fallen were angels that came to love the humans, especially the females." he chuckled, "Well the male ones anyways, there are female angels as well and of course they went for the men. But back on track. They could not see using the humans as a food source. Back then humans were fewer then they are today, so when they fed on their energy, they took it all and killed the human. But the Fallen came to feed on animals or only limited the feeding on humans. They were outcasts now to the other angels and not only did they fight the demons but their own kind as well.

They are the ones that helped humans forge weapons to help kill the demons and their bretheren. I would say your sword is one of those old relics that was used back then, and still today to kill demons. There are only a few I think of each left here on this world and they tend to try and avoid each other now, as they don't want their races to be completely destroyed here.

But the Brotherhood sees them still as a threat to mankind and wishes to eliminate them. If Anubis here is thought to be a threat then he to will be hunted along with everyone else here."

[LadyRaven]

Kat gave a worried look, "So they could still hunt me down because of Anubis?" She asked, then looked at Dante. Suddenly, being around them didn't feel quite as safe as it once did.

Casha sipped more of her blood, treating it like she would a fine glass of red wine. "They would wipe out your entire family." She said to her friend, "And make it look like your bloodline had never existed." She turned around to face them then. "The reason they've never caught up with Anubis until now is probably the same reason the Order hasn't." She looked at her lover with a mirth filled smile, "You tend to disappear at will and not show up again for a very long time. Why do you think the Order sent hunters after you so quickly. They knew if they didn't get off the mark fast enough, you'd up and disappear again before they could find you and they'd have to start all over again. It was the same with Cain and your brothers." She moved back to the rest of them and carefully put her glass on the table.

"So one of the Brotherhood is on the scene and he knows what we've done. The question is, does he know that we know he's around?" She asked. "Ideally, I'd say no, which would put him on the back foot. However, I don't think it will take him long to figure it out. From what I know from rumour, the Brotherhood have their fingers in more pies than the church. By now, he'll have all the information he needs on Anubis, myself and probably Kat if the Order took her reporting seriously." She looked to Dante, "There won't be anything on you, I don't think because you've never been investigated by the Order. He'll know everything about Gabe and Marla too. We need to stay one step ahead of this one."

The Ranch - While the hunter was studying the case files sent to him, an email popped up on the corner of his screen. Once clicked, more information came up, information that was classified higher than his rank. This information was for eyes only at the very top of the food chain.
'Anubis Nile and the hunter, MacKensie Trydant are not to be harmed.' The email read, 'You are to observe and follow only. You will not make contact until I get there. During this time, you will compile evidence of their actions and companions. I am sending a trusted member of my team to collect your evidence and I will make my decision based on that. He will arrive exactly one month from today. Until then. X.'
