What Shall We Do? {shadows}

[shadows]

Shadows finished ripping the last humans into 1 inch squares and slowly raised. Turning his heart hammered in his chest sending the magma pulsing through his body. Turning he watched a group of humans fleeing and left them. A scent that had always been here caught his attention. Turning to the female his eyes widened as the scent under all the blood was that of immortal. Hunger shredded the nerves in Shadows' body setting everything alight with pain.

Crouching Shadows snarled, saber-like fangs snapping in her direction. Moving quickly Shadows only goal was to swallow down that delicious blood. Somewhere in the back of his skull he knew, at this point with all his power activated a single portion of his saliva mixed with his energy would throw a male or female into an orgasmic spasm. This thought was quickly pushed aside by a torrent of pain. Much blood was needed to quench this creature. Landi ng infront of her Shadows leg shot out, shin aiming to take her in the stomach with as much force as an asteroid. Not seeing how the female reacted he balanced on one leg as he shot a blow towwards her throat. All blows aiming for incapacitation.

Something was terribly wrong. How come Shadows was acting so differently? The Countess tilted her head to the side, her expression alone questioning her love. Then she got her answer as he tried to execute a swift kick. Uh oh. Immediately she sprung into action, shooting back from the kick just in time. ”SHADOWS SNAP OUT OF IT!” Amoura screamed. No good, he was coming at her again. After swearing sharply, the vampiress took off down the street, trying to get away.

Great. Here I am playing a life and death game of duck duck goose… Up the nearest building she went and crouched down, lips peeled back, snarling as he drew nearer. Whatever was wrong…she didn’t like it. Not one bit. Instinct took over from here, letting her know when to run, hide or fight. Right now it said stay and fight. Should this prove to be rough? She’ll run again.

Shadows howled as the missed kick shredded muscles and tendons in his hip. As Amoura screamed something at him a voice in his mind tried to speak again but was muted. When she turned and ran Shadows snarled and the chase started. Hammering down the road in the direction she did Shadows turned and stopped . Above him was a crouched shadow, looking as an angel of d- Twang A sharp snap of pain spasmed in his throat as suddenly his vision blurred. As Shadows slowly dropped to his knees heavily drugged Gabriel stepped from the corner, dart gun in hand.

Gabriel laughed as he tossed the gun aside. "Shit boss, ya need to keep yourself in check." Gabriel's orange cat eyes moved up to Amoura. Bowing slightely he smirked. "My Queen, I think that's you. Anyway, sorry. He hasn't fed in quite a while We'll take care of it." A van started backing towards them.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Amoura raised an eyebrow at the male that suddenly appeared on the scene. She hadn’t seen him around here before and he called her his queen? Must be someone who works with Shadows. With a slight nod, Amoura stood and rubbed the back of her neck, feeling a line or two of skin. There were a few scars on the female’s back and she made it a habit to touch them often. Fortunately she didn’t think on them often. ”He scared the shit out of me.” She muttered.

While he was tended to, Amoura thought back on what happened a moment ago. Had that kick struck its mark…she would have been dead. Just the mere thought of dying by his hands wasn’t a pleasant one. One hand touched her katana’s hilt, allowing the slender fingers to run up and down the hilt, caressing it gently as if though it were a lover. Her mouth muttered but no words came out.

[shadows]

Shadows body was laid out on the ground as the van's doors opened. Two gallon jugs of blood were visable. They were filled with some of the oldest vampiric blood reserved for is Shadows had lost control. Gabriel crammed a tube down Shadows' throat and started the pouring process. As half a gallon drained away Shadows eyes opened. The pupils slowly sliding back to their normal form as his clawed hands loosened. Grabbing the tube Shadows slid it from his throat and gagged. Gabriel laughed as Shadows stumbled to his feet but a quick glare sent the group rushing.

Shadows looked up at Amoura as his head buzzed. "What happened?" Suddenly his eyes took her in. Amoura looked stiff, almost weary. Her hand hovered over her hilt causing Shadows to finaly growl. "No....I wouldn't....not you.....I..." SHadows knew what he had done....turning he walked towards the forest line by the city as pure anger and hatred boiled from his insides. "I.....alone....yeah..." Shadows walked slowly towards the forest his body trembled. Pushing through he was searching for a lake, a pond...any kind of water. Finding one he dove under the water......under the waves Shadows closed his eyes and floated down. His mind moving non-stop.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Amoura sat down on the floor, waiting for Shadows to be revived. As the blood was forced down her throat, the vampiress continued stroking the hilt of her katana, yet another habit she had gotten into. A minute or so passed and he was awake. Crimson eyes stared up at him. ”Shadows…” Amoura stood and tried to approach him but he said he wanted to be alone. With a sigh, she watched him rush off into the forest. She couldn’t leave him alone like this. After nodding at the people who came to the scene, the Countess dashed out after Shadows.

There he was in the water. Amoura slid off her long coat and shoes before slowly sliding into the water. Silver hair trailed behind her, gliding gracefully and spreading out over the surface. Without taking in a breath (it wasn’t needed) she dove down after Shadows, wrapping her arms around the male and pulling him to the surface. ”Shadows…” Water dripped down her hair and face as she tried to think on what to say.

[shadows]

Shadows watched as Amoura dove in after him. Run, don't let her get near you. You'll just hurt you. You're good at destroying anything that matters to you. Hell...it's the only thing you're good at! HAHAHAHAH! Great.....the reaper was back. SHadows little friendly voice that was always in his head had disappeared twenty years ago.... now it was back. Shadows let Amoura grab him and pull him to the surface.
Shadows....

Good job asshole, now the only person that matters to you thinks you're fucking nuts. I give it a month before you kill her.
Shadows snarled in his mind at the voice which caused it to laugh. Opening his crimson eyes they were filled with a millenias worth of agony and pain. SHadows smiled softly as she held them both aboce water. Lowering his head he closed his eyes. "I thought.....I just thought that maybe you would be safe, maybe you would understand it and know how to cope. I didn't know." Because you didn't think asshole! The Reaper looked like a wring wraith from lord of the rings, standing on a pile of skulls one was held in his hand with red eyes as it laughed. Shadows looked up at his only love and felt a stabbing pain in his gut. "I...I'm so sorry."

[†The Blood Countess†]

Amoura gave Shadows a concerned look. Something was wrong with him, besides the obvious. ”Shadows…” she bit her lower lip and got down a bit towards his level, sliding her arms around him, pulling him close. What could be said? In this case actions spoke louder than words but it seems she might have to speak to him. ”I don’t now what happened earlier. I don’t care. I mean…well you know what I mean. It won’t keep me from you, alright?”

Fingers tenderly stroked his back, ”I’ll be fine, love. Don’t worry about me. I’ve faced much worse I can assure you.” She pulled him back to look into his eyes, ”Everyone has their flaws whether it be fatal or not. I have mine, you have yours. We will cope with them. I don’t care if I’m put in danger everyday.”

[shadows]

Shadows blinked suprised. The reaper went all cartoon and his lower jaw slammed on the mountian of skulls making Shadows chuckle. Movement comming back to his body he raised his hands slowly to either side of Amoura's face. When she muttered the last line Shadows barked out a low growl as the reaper laughed.
That's right mate, and ya know sumtin? She's absolutely right, it will be all the time, and it'll turn out fatal! hahahaha!

Shadows growl continued as he pushed closer to her, crimson eyes not moving from hers. "It won't happen again AMoura, I'll feed every day if I have to. Scarlett has been my feeder for a few months now. I'll just feed more from her." Shadows smiled knowing he would feed as much as possible from now on to avoid this from ever happening again. "I'd do anything for you my love....anything." Shadows voice was soft as he starred at her eyes. A sudden urge to kiss her hit him but he brushed it aside. Never before had a female made him nerves but he was afraid to even try and kiss Amoura...he hated it.

Because you know you're a worthless failure piece of trash...just end your life.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Amoura smiled at Shadows, ”Love? You can feed from me. I always have plenty to spare in case if you haven’t noticed the past few times.” The vampires brushed his wet hair back, ”You can feed from Scarlett too. The more the better for your sake, my love.” She leaned down, lightly brushing her lips against his forehead but then the unexpected happened.

She kissed him.

It wasn’t forced but tender and affectionate. Fingers stroked his hair, his back, trying to calm him down as best as she could. Then she pulled back and smiled down at him, ”I don’t care if I’m in danger all the time. I know you will protect me and I can protect myself. I’ve lived for this long.”

[shadows]

Shadows froze as Amoura's lips brushed his and then they kissed. When she pulled away Shadows smiled at her since they were eye to eye. Shadows smirk slid back into place as the reaper was locked down again. Raising an eyebrow Shadows sighed. "Well, I wasn't going to protect you...then you had to do that, so I suppose I must now." Shadows let out a laugh. Grabbing Amoura around the waist Shadows walked from the water taking her onto the small beach area.

When he lowered Amoura he stopped, her feet barely touching the ground as he starred at her for a few moments. A smirk slowly spread across his face. "Last time I was unprepared. Now... let me show you how good I am." Shadows gently brushed her hair back and placed hia fingers on jer jaw line. Leaning in his lips touched hers gently. Just as he started the kiss a clap of thunder sent rain falling upon the two. Shadows kissed with every once of skill he'd ever had or heard of. SUddenly his eyes slid closed...he never kissed with closed eyes,,,why did he care. Pulling back after a few seconds SHadows raised an eyebrow. "Any Better?"

[†The Blood Countess†]

Amoura laughed as Shadows picked her up and removed them from the water. Then when the kiss came, her entire body seemed to melt away. Eyes were closed, a delighted sigh slowly escaping her lungs. To think a kiss could do something as relaxing as this. For the first time in so long, Amoura felt that all will be well. There will be rough times, yes, they always come but they won’t matter. Not at all.

When it ended, Amoura smiled up at Shadows, ”I’m amazed at how well you can kiss a girl, love.” That smile took on a sly form and without warning, she shot up, pressing her lips against his and…both fell into the water with a splash. Oh Amoura just couldn’t help it! She hadn’t been this happy in God knows how long!

[shadows]

Shadows laughed and was just about to answer. Just as he inhaled to speak suddenly Amoura pounced on him. Shadows stepped back and suddenly lost balance. As they slammed into the water Shadows laughed sending bubbled towwards the surface. Joy hummed through his body, never in all eternity had Shadows ever been actually happy. His life from the time of birth was filled with war and battle. But this, it was so much easier, so much more fun!

Shadows spun under the water and caught Amoura by the arm. Twisting he pushed her deeper into the water. Spinning SHadows bared his fangs playfully as he spiked downward after her. Catching her sinking body Shadows spun her around and pulled her into her. Using his body he covered most of hers and pressed his lips to hers once more...slower...softer than before. At that very moment Shadows vowed that Amoura would be the only female for him. Her happiness would decipher his world. Shadows smiled as he kissed her more. She was his world now....she was his life.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Amoura kissed back with equal, if not more passion but their little moment had to be short lived. Once they were back out of the water, her sharp hearing picked up something all too familiar: her cellphone. Fortunately she was smart enough to keep it out of the water. Right hand snatched up the slim piece of technology and flipped it open, "Yo..excellent so you managed to kill the mayor. Another enemy eh? Grand..."

She lowered the phone slightly and looked at Shadows, mouthing "It's Vicious". "Hm? Yeah...yeah I will execute my plan soon...in about three days time, I have to organize this one...hey it's not easy killing a govenor. Right...yeah...mhm...m'kay...later." She snapped the cellphone shut and put it down on the dry soil, "Phase one is complete. Vicious killed the mayor and I need to execute my plan soon."

[shadows]

When Amoura's phone wrang Shadows growled and waited as she went to answer it. As she spoke to Vicious Shadows' ear perked up. Moving slightely closer when he heard phase one was complete Shadows could help but let out a bark of laughter. When Amoura cut the call off and spoke of her plan starting in a few days Shadows smiled spread as his eyes lit up. Sliding his water-resistant cell phone from his pocket Shadows flipped it open. Soon the ringing stopped and crunching could be heard on the other end. "Gabriel quit eating...ok....yeah plans changed. Phase 3 is going to be different. Yeah, I need different kinds of rounds, for vampires and wolves. Yeah.....I also need another blade....silver pressed edge insteaqd of diamong. Yeah.......Yes same make.....I know it's expensive but it's basically indestructable......two days.....yeah....ok." SHadows snapped the phone shut.

Turning towards Amoura a smirk spread across his face. "I've changed my plans. I figured if we're going to take out political leaders leaders and we're working our way up....I'm hitting the top." Shadows laughed as he walked over and lifted a newspaper from the ground. Tossing it at Amoura he smirked. "Second Page." In huge letters on the second page it read.

President Visits Vice For Terrorist Discussions

Shadows let it sink in as Amoura read the title. No dount mortals and immortals alike will be watching and gaurding this. Since the recent "terrorist" activities Immortals were on the verge of civil war trying to keep things quiet. Shadows laughed as he brushed wet hair from his face. "Our time's comming faster and faster my queen. It won't be much longer untill you're on your throne." Shadows turned away, hand on hilt of blade as he lifted his phone seeing if he had any messeges. "I'll set up some other plans incase mine goes haywire. I'll make sure you and V can finish this." Shadows turned his eyes alight with anticipation and a smile on his face. "I live for this shit."
