The Seige

[Synistergrrl]

~There was darkness, just blind darkness and hunger, blinding hunger. There was nothing other than that want and need for blood. Ciaran was fucking loosing his mind. Finn and Jules had watched as they'd drug Ciaran down and Jean Luc allowed the others to drain him to the brink of death. He was bricked into a tomb down deep under the big house in the Paris catacombs. He'd tried to remain calm, tried to keep that cold demeanor, but it didn't last. Eventually the monster had taken over, screaming, clawing and kicking at the mortar. It was insanity. At some point he broke, laughing hysterically. What Ciaran had been, well it wasn't what he was now. But the sound, the crazy sound of chinking sound of bricks coming down. When the first ray of light shot through, the creature behind the wall snarled, his claws coming up. He snapped those fanged jaws as a hand reached through to pull down more of the bricks.~

Ciaran?

~The voice was a question, but Ciaran wasn't really Ciaran anymore. As the opening widened, the hunter snarled out, pushing through the opening to get to anything with blood. In that moment he was wild, no longer even reminiscent of anything with humanity. Devin stood by his brother, holding one of the vampires in that huge maw of his. He pushed the vampire hard at Ciaran as the vampire clawed to get out. At that moment, Ciaran tore into the vampire in a vicious way. The moment that one was drained, another was tossed at him. This went on as the vampire drained not one, not two, but six vampires before he calmed. But he was still looking feral, more feral than he'd ever looked. Harlin would would see that monster, that thing that all vampires really were, deep down.~

~Before~

~It started at dawn. They had the element of surprise. And when they attacked, that element worked well for the pack. The foxes were using every trick they knew to confuse the vampires in the house. The coyotes were slipping along in and out of shadows followed by the cats who were all muscle and frightening claws and teeth. The core pack split, Ren, Em, Hawk, Corbin, Colt and Jack going after Jules. Ace, Devin, Nyx, Ash, Noah, Declan and Harlin went first for Finn and then to find Ciaran.~

~As the insanity broke out, Jean Luc had Jules with him. Jules was breaking, slowly starting to become an animal, as Jean Luc really wanted. It was Em that came through the door first, the vampire's speed surpassing the wolves, cats and coyotes. Em surpassed those that were suddenly in the path to guard Jean Luc, but the group behind him were forced to deal with the onslaught. Hawk had shifted to that bigger form, trying in vain to catch up with Em. The coyote in him felt the need to protect the vampire. But he was slammed roughly into a wall by a big vampire and then the coyote howled as fangs sank into his shoulder. A chunk was ripped from the coyote as a smaller deadly coyote danced in and jerked the vampire off. Colt and Corbin jumped on the bigger leech, tearing into him. But the damage was done and Hawk was sinking to the floor.~

~Ace and Devin were at breakneck speed to get to Finn. Both picked up his scent with ease, dodging down into the depths of the house. The brute at the door seemed ready, but as they rounded the corner, a big black panther darted passed and pounced on the big vampire, taking him down easily. The door to the cell slammed open. Finn and Flint had been near the door, hearing the chaos. Right before the door, Finn would smell Ace, know he was there. And to no surprise of the young vampire, he would see his mate on the other side of that door, a snarl on that big maw. He had to duck to come into the room, that huge clawed hand reaching out and tugging Finn to him, hugging him tightly. Flint, for all he was worth, still skittered back at the sight of that big war form. Most vampires never got that close to a werewolf, not ever. It was entirely too dangerous. And now, not only was there one, but there were more and Flint was pretty sure death was about to follow for him.~

-Em heard the noise from behind, turned, and that was the mistake. Pain tore into him as the vampire used the mental power. It incapacitated him a moment before a fox reached out from the darkness and slammed into the vampire disturbing his concentration. Em snarled rising focusing on the nearest vampire and tearing into him with vicious precision. The vampire who didn't want to kill humans was still a vampire, still a killer. Jean Luc snarled watching the chaos. There were so many and he knew, deep down, he had one shot at escape but he was not going to leave Jules alive to reap the benefits of this siege. He'd kill the vampire and leave him for the wolves. Bits and pieces for them to find before he made his escape. He motioned for the vampires next to him to hold Jules down pushing him on his knees ... -

This is how I'd like to remember you Jules ... broken ... and on your knees ...

-He smirked gripping the vampire's head ready to twist it off before a blur moved as Em slammed hard into Jean Luc. He elbowed one of the vampires in the face forcing him to release Jules who was still in that fragile state of mind retreating from Jean Luc. Em frowned staring at him a moment before he focused on the three vampires in front of him blocking their path to Jules .. he just had to stall them a bit longer ... -

Em ...

-Jean Luc growled full of hate ... -

You ... you're the fucking reason it all went wrong ... why I lost Jules ...

-Emile snorted faintly before smirking ... -

Do you hear them Jean Luc. The sound of the wolves ... the growling and that breathing and those big paws padding down ... like a freight train ... you're about to feel what it's like to be torn to pieces by what you consider inferior ...

-Jean Luc snarled and there were no more words. Just madness. Pure hatred. He descended upon Emile as the two fought trying to grip one another but the other two vampires were there and Em was outnumbered. One pushed Jules back if he tried to help and before he knew it Em was pinned and held back. He struggled and then it was like he knew this was it. He wouldn't see Hawk again or Finn but it was ok. He'd saved Jules, his best friend, the one he loved, and it was a good way to go. A good way to atone for his sins and he had plenty. Jean Luc tore his head off, it cracked like a statue, as the rest of his body fell to the ground and broke in a number of pieces. The head was tossed aside falling near Jules as if some nightmare before the wolves arrived. Ren was in first. He saw Jules, saw Em, and lost his mind as he slammed into Jean Luc. He was bitten and it didn't seem to slow the alpha down. He just tore into the vampire trying to kill ... -

-Elsewhere, Finn held on to Ace as if he was a lifeline. He nuzzled into the big wolf and sighed beginning to cry. A few bloody tears fell down his cheek but it didn't matter. He was finally free and for a moment none of the horror, and none of what he'd committed mattered. He held on to Ace before pulling back. He glanced back at Flint slipping from Ace's grip ... -

It's ok Flint. This is Ace ... my mate ... and the rest are the pack ... they won't hurt you ...

-He glanced at Ace ... -

Flint is my friend ...

-He pushed passed Ace a moment later and slammed into Devin hugging his brother tightly. He wasn't sure if he'd see either one of them again. He glanced back at Flint trying to get the vampire to come closer but he knew the wolves scared him to death-

~Jules was ready to die. He couldn't even really register that his rescuers were there. Instead, he was just ready to give in, anything to make the torture end. So when Em appeared, Jules was just lost, the vampire couldn't even wrap his mind around the fact that Em was there. But something down deep registered Em's presence. He felt his friend close and then he heard his voice, and his head snapped up. There it was, that little spark of hope. But it didn't last long as the fight ensued. There was little Jules could do. Even as he tried to push up and help, he was forced away roughly. And then that sickening crack and Jules froze, eyes wide in horror as he watched Em's head roll infront of him. That's when something snapped in the vampire. At that moment Ren appeared, but Jules didn't see him, all Jules saw was red. Infact, the Jules that had any shred of humanity was gone, the only thing that was left was the monster and that's how Jules wanted. As the Alpha tore into Jean Luc, Jules was a blur of death to the others.~

~Hawk managed to push himself up, a snarl on his lips as Cor, Jack and Colt took the vampires out. He pushed into the room, his eyes searching for Em. The pain was eating at him from the poison and then that pain just went away as his mind registered that Em wasn't there. Slowly his eyes landed on Em's head. A cold chill rolled through Hawk. The howl that ripped from the coyote was one of anger and frustration and pain, heart wrenching pain. It would ripple through all the shifters as they heard that sound, some responding in like, feeling their brother's pain. And that's when the black came, Hawk let the coyote have it's moment, taking off all the chains and just going full tilt animal on anything in his path.~

~Elsewhere~

~Ace held Finn close, a low rumbling growl rumbled his chests as he nuzzled into the younger vampire. And when Finn tried to slip from him, Ace didn't seem willing to let him go. But his head lifted, those big yellow eyes narrowing a bit as he studied the other vampire who looked ready to bolt. Ace just gave a grunt, but Devin was coming through the door as well, his eyes flickering about for Finn.~

~Flint kept his eyes on the big creature infront of him until Finn was infront of him. It took him a moment, but finally his eyes flashed to Finn. He slowly, very slowly stood.~

Riiiight.... if ya don' mind, I'll just stay with you....

~And then Finn was slamming into Devin and Flint was left staring up at Ace. Devin nuzzled into Finn with a sigh. He looked up and over at Flint as well but then Harlin was barking for Ciaran. Devin frowned, slowly letting Finn go, as Ace shifted for a moment.~

Ciaran? Do you know where Ciaran is?

~He asked Finn and when the younger nodded, Ace reached out, bloody and naked and tugged Finn into a very rough kiss. He let go and shifted again with a fluid grace. Flint followed as Finn pushed out and took them out to where Ciaran was bricked up behind a wall.~

-It was blood and chaos and madness. Sometime in the madness Ren barked for the others to leave them alone. He snarled the words and the alpha for once looked dead fucking serious. He moved in slowly towards Jules knowing the vampire was lost to the beast. He knew it but it didn't matter The huge hulking figure just tugged the vampire in close and held him close. He had no idea if Jules would bite him or attack but it didn't matter. He had him back and he had to focus on that because Em was still in the room with them dead. Ren made little mournful sounds of pain. He didn't even try and speak, the wolf just made little sounds of pain as he held on to the vampire nuzzling into him-

-Hawk was rampaging still but finally Corbin caught up to him getting in his path. He moved in closer walking on all fours as he bared his throat making little noises of pain. When Hawk let him come in close he nuzzled into the coyote trying to sooth him. He licked the wound on his shoulder knowing Hawk had been bitten and the fact that Em was dead. He hadn't sene it but the howl said it all. Jackal showed up a moment later slipping closer as well slowly testing the waters if he was welcome. Jackal frowned softly-

You're hurt ... we gotta get you out of here ...

-Finn led the way. He kept Flint close to him but the kiss from Ace had left him moaning. He wanted to fall back into the wolf but he was nervous about telling him the truth of what had happened. He led the group to where he knew Ciaran was buried. They began to take down the bricks but Finn stopped and frowned ... -

Grab whatever vampires aren't dead ... we have to feed him ... all the wolves gotta stay back he's gonna want to kill anything ...

-Harlin growled wanting to be close. He was in full war form as he moved in closer looking terrifying but Finn growled right back as if he was a wolf... -

Back off Har he won't know you ... you wanna get bitten ... just wait ...
