Leads on a lost pup

[Synistergrrl]

~It wasn't that Trace ignored the wolf when asked questions, he simply made an excuse.~

I don't know WHO he is. I can just tell he's old. And I don't know why he's on the trail of a wolf, less he's keeping his own territory clean. I just figured we were going to have some fun and if we attract some attention, that of either a pack of wolves or a old vampire could be bad. That's all. I just choose this subdivision by random, we can go somewhere else and not have to worry about interruptions.

~It seemed like a plausible excuse. Trace tugged Fenris along and away back to his car. He climbed in and pulled Fenris in close, dragging his hands down the wolf's side and across his thigh.~

Come on... i want to spend the night with you, Fen.

~The vampire took the wolf away and the rest of the night they spent catching up for lost time. When morning came, Trace took Fen back towards the hive and then raced back to his own place to sleep, knowing that Em would be there. They'd been discussing this problem, trying to find out where Nikolai was holed up. But this had proved to be a lucky little accident. The next night rolled around and Em would wake to find Trace waiting for him.~

I found him....

~He smirked. He'd ofcourse told Em to shove it up his ass when he suggested that Trace sit this out. He knew Em wouldn't be able to handle that old vampire alone and he also knew that Em would freak if Trace got hurt. But it was better they did this together.~

You sure, Em? About not calling in Az and the wolves? What are you so worried about? It'd be helpful to have backup. Ya know that, right?

~He knew what Em was worried about, but he wasn't so sure that in the end it would matter.~

~The Hive~

~Deep down in the hive, Az was sitting with Fenris, Enver and Hayden.~

What exactly did you smell Fenris? You gonna take us there...

~Az was pissed. He knew that Em was lying to him. He'd wanted to find out more, but that fucking vampire hadn't known nothing. And the truth was, he'd been nobody. Enver, Az and Hayden worked him over for a good long time before Az finally let Enver take out his frustration out on the vampire and then they left him out in the morning as the sun rose and watched him burn. It was somewhat satisfying, but in the end they were back at square one. That is until Fenris had shown up that morning and told them all he thought he might have a lead.~

I guess ...

-It was plausible but Fenris knew they'd been looking for some vampire with a wolf. He didn't push it though. He slipped back in the car moving in closer to the vampire nuzzling against him content to have Trace so close. He kissed along his neck before claiming his lips as he buried against him. They found some other unlucky family, Fenris watched while Trace fed, feeling even less connected to people than most wolves who had atleast one human parent. Both of his had been werewolves. He crawled on top of the vampire in the blood and fucked him till Trace let him know the sun was close to coming up. He sighed claiming the vampire's lips ... -

I'll see you soon ...

-He'd smiled walking back down towards the hive. He had ordered a pizza and had been sitting eating as he relayed what he'd found. He shrugged shoving another whole piece in his mouth less concerned about the whole thing than those around him, or maybe he enjoyed making Enver suffer who seemed on pins and needles ... -

Like old dirt ... you know they all smell a little dead ... this just reeked ... I thought the family was already dead ... and either right before or right after the vampire passed a wolf went through ... smelled young ...

-He nodded slowly ... -

Fine ... we can sniff around ... I think I can figure out where I was ...

-He reached out pushing Az's head up a little bit ... -

Relax brother ... we'll find em ...

-Back at the apartment Em had been sitting on the couch thinking quietly. He gazed up arching a brow standing quickly ... -

You serious?

-He listened and frowned slowly ... -

Was he hunting him?

-He couldn't understand why Nikolai was outside with the wolf but for now it didn't matter. They'd have to track the vampire at nightfall. They slept and then discussed what was to be done. Em dressed and began shoving what he needed in a bag needing to think exactly how he'd distract the old vampire long enough to kill him. The wolves would be useful but no ... he shook his head ... -

They can't find out Phillip called this vampire ... if they do it'll be war and we can both say goodbye to our wolves. We can still contain this mess ....

-He knew on some level it was too much to hope for but he needed to hope. He didn't want to lose Az because if he did he wasn't sure there was much left holding him here. He loved Trace but he knew the vampire would be fine without him. He gave the other vampire whatever weapons he wanted ... -

Let's go ... show me where you smelled it ...

-They got in his black viper and drove down towards the suburbs. He needed to sniff out the ground and they had to follow it to its source. It was a mistake and that's what nagged at him. It was a mistake he'd not think Nikolai would make. Leaving such a trail. Was it a trap?-

[LittleDeadGrrl]

Didn't know who he was huh?

-It had been well very awkward. The wolves and the vampires had met following the same leads, different paths, and Em had alot of explaining to do. He'd tugged Az aside trying to explain but the wolf was too fucking pissed to listen. He was betrayed and he didn't want to listen. He told them they'd fucking talk after they killed the vampire inside and got the wolf out alive. Em sighed reaching out for the boy but the wolf tugged back. He had frowned quietly cursing his fucking luck but he had to believe he could smooth things over with Azazel afterwards. Enver stood beside Hayden looking pissed. Fenris leaned in Trace while Em pulled back from Azazal sighing before he swallowed any frustration he had. The simply house lay in front of them but Em knew it wouldn't be simple to hunt the fucker down. To kill him ...-

Nikolai is smart. I've met him once but I've heard stories. He is fast and strong ... and he can take alot of damage. We are dealing with an old vampire used to hunting vampires ... our best bet is to circle around him and kill quickly ...

-He eyed Enver a moment before he gazed at Azazel ... -

We may not be able to save the wolf. By now Nikolai would have fed him a lot of his blood ... your wolf won't want to let the source of his addiction go ...

-Enver's eyes narrowed as he growled pushing in ... -

Comit is gonna live. If you try and fucking hurt him I'll tear ...

-Em snarled snapping his jaw at the smaller wolf ... -

I'm gonna have my hands full with Nikolai. I'm just telling you facts ... I've seen how ghouls react when their master is threatened ... I dunno how a wolf high on vamp blood is gonna deal. He may be insane ... I'm just giving you guys my warning ...

-They talked a few more minutes before the plan was formed. The moon was high in the sky when the two entered from opposite sides of the house. Course the silent alarm was tripped. Nikolai was notoriously paranoid about intruders. He had been laying in bed with Comit when he pushed up tugging on his pants as he dragged Comit up. He eyes narrowed as he gripped the huge machete by his bed slipping down the steps in just his pants. Em stood alone in front of him. The others were circling around to get Enver away and to catch Nikolai by surprise. The older vampire gazed down annoyed ... -

I had expected you to be much smarter than this Emmanuel ...

-Em nodded slowly. His fingers extended into claws as he ran his tongue across his fangs ... -

Me too Nikolai. Me too ...

-He braced himself when the vampire smashed into him. They both moved with that super human speed as Em ran from the vampire but Nikolai was too fast. He gripped Em's arm twisting it at an impossible angle as the threw the vampire towards Trace. Hayden and Enver moved up the steps to find Comit. The wolves had already shifted into their Crinos form expecting to find the wolf chained up or something. He had to be. Em righted his arm back into place grabbing the stake in his hand trying to drive it through Nikolai's heart but the vampire moved too fast and he only managed to barely stab it through his shoulder-

It pains me to have to kill you Em ....

-He shoved his hand in the vampire's stomach tearing at his insides before Trace was on top of him. He shook the younger vampire off easily before the wolves came. Azazel moved in that crinos form and no matter how angry he was at Emmanuel seeing the vampire on the ground trying to shove his intestines back inside angered him. Seeing Trace hurt pretty much sent Fenris into a tail spin. The two werewolves moved in tandem, like a finely honed machine, moving around the vampire tearing at him, wearing him down, as they tore through the house like it was nothing. Nikolai moved around them stabbing left and right wounding the vampires and wolves badly. He was impossibly fast and even the claws and bites from the wolves, that would kill another vampire, only seemed to slow him. He healed damage he should not be healing. Comit screamed out trying, strangely, to save the vampire who even held down was trying to get to Comit. It wasn't until he was staked and immobile that they could finally get him under control. Comit about lost his mind at that point screaming and trying to get the vampire before Fenris knocked him out despite Enver's protests-

-They left the house alive. All of them. Barely. Emmanuel and Trace had to be dragged back towards the car. Em felt into that deep vampire sleep he'd not wake up from for a few days. Trace was badly wounded but still awake. Fenris had a few bad bite marks on him but he seemed more concern with keeping Trace awake than anything else. Azazel had taken his own hits but the galliard was a fucking tank. Hayden and Enver were the least wounded. A few claws marks but mostly they were unharmed. Comit had only been knocked unconcious to keep him from doing anything stupid. Nikolai lay in the back seat, staked, bound, and tore up badly. He couldn't move and had no idea where he was being taken. One thing was for sure. He was gonna be swore when he woke up ... -
