I had this idea in my head and I just wrote it down, and to the very small few that actually read this chapter, let me know if it needs a second one. And oh, me and the editor did our best to make this chapter perfect, so I apologize again if anyone see any mistakes. * He was such an asshole! I hated guys like him, guys that were arrogant, self-assured, self centered and egotistical beyond belief. Guys like him drive around in fancy sports cars with a pretty blonde haired, blue eyed 18 year old in the passenger seat with a tight top and a lose bottom. And with that fancy sports car and pretty blonde, he'll be wearing a nice Armani suit to match. He's the type of guy that probably fucks a different type of woman every night of the week. Uhhhh! Yep Kirill de von Jelavich was the type of person that I wanted to avoid, but unfortunately I had to bother with him, or else I would be fired, and I liked my job way to much for this asshole. If it weren't for my job I wouldn't be here in the first place. I wouldn't be sitting across the table from them in some Las Vegas nightclub looking at him with some tall blonde girl that came with an annoying laugh, bad attitude, and very bad boob job. "Hehehehehe. Oh Kirill you are so sexy, mmmmmm. I can't wait for you to take me to your house and do whatever you want with me, ohhhh. You get me all hot and bothered." The blonde whispered while playing with his chest. "Ummm that sounds like a very delightful plan of action there my sexy little kitty. Do you know what I'm going to do to you once we're there baby? I would like to stick my..." This had to stop, if I wanted to hurry and get this meeting over with. "UUUHHHH! EXCUE ME BUT COULD YOU PLEASE STOP THIS FOR A FEW MOMENTS AND TALK ABOUT PUSSY ON YOUR OWN TIME?" I was annoyed with their touchy feely session that it made me yell across the table to get their attention, and that I did especially the blonde Barbie. "What the fuck is your problem lady?!" "My problem is that while you two are sitting there kissing the night away I have very important issues to discuss with Mr. Jelavich here. But believe me once we're done here you can gladly continue to be his next conquest with your panties on his fuck wall of fame." The girl looked at me with wide eyes, stunned at what I just said. "Umm, what do you mean?" "I mean if you want your panties in his oh so marvelous panty collection then go ahead and be my guest, but could you please do this once I leave? Thanks." "Look bitch I really...!" the blonde stood and shouted. She was mid sentence when Kirill put his hand around her wrist. "Listen sweet heart, could you please just give me Miss. Carter thirty minutes to discuss some important issues? And once those thirty minute are up I will come looking for you, hmmmm, 'kay?" The girl gave him a sweet smile before turning her head in my direction; gave me a nasty look, then rolled her eyes at me before stomping off. "Ok, now that I got her out of the way, we can discuss business." "What type of business is so important that it made you this impatient my dear?" "Well since you said it like that, the business I need to discuss with is about your club and its illegal activities." I retorted at him He chuckled a little before saying "what illegal activities are they my dear sweet detective?" "Please don't do that. Me and the S.A.B. have been lead to believe that your club is involved with prostitution, letting in minors, giving said minors alcohol, and drug possession." "Is that all detective, is that all you have to say to me? After the big scene you made" "No, although all those reports might be true, we can't bust you for any of them except drug possession." A strange look came over his face when I mentioned this; his golden eyes instantly became intense. "We have statements from eye witnesses saying that there's a drug called Red Diamonds being sold to humans and that this drug has some serious side effects, it's very popular. These same eyewitnesses claim that the drug has a powerful effect on a person. People say this drug sparks an exhilarating force of energy that goes beyond any normal street drug or over the counter drug out there." "Is that so?" he said. "Yep, at one point they're super hyper, with extraordinary stamina; and incredible energy and the next they're like mindless zombies, and I literally mean mindless. Then puff, they vanish. They go missing, never to be seen again." "Uh huh" "Look Jelavich, I just want to do my job, and my job requires finding these young people that are mysteriously going missing after they leave your club. With the evidence I have from the eye witnesses, I could arrest you." "Would you like something to drink ma'am?" a young waitress asked, well she appeared to be young. "No, but thank you," I found myself staring for the few seconds that she was by the table. When she lent forward, asking if I wanted anything to drink, my eyes instantly went to her breasts. She had a nice set of breasts; they were the perky and firm orange shape sized breast that I always loved on a woman. Hell let me correct: I love all breasts. "Could I do anything for you Mr. Jelavich or get you anything?" she asked turning to him "No, thank you I'm fine, Gabby" he smiled up at her. She turned to walk away and I couldn't help myself but watch her as she left the table. 'Oh God she had the perfect pin-up, she's all nice and curvy.' She must have felt my eyes on her because she looked back over her shoulder to wink at me with a seductive smile. I couldn't to blush a little. My attention was cut back to Mr. Jelavich when he spoke up. "If that's even possible, my little witch. How will you and your little supernatural crime-stopping posse do that? This isn't the first time you guys came by with the same charges, except for Red Diamonds and the missing people, that's a new. I haven't heard of that before, but all the other things that might be going on in this club will continue to get swept under the rug my little witch." He said so self-assured. This was really starting to get on my nerves; I hated the way he called me "little witch." I turned around with a frown on my face. "Yeah? Well how can you be so sure about that?" "Because it's nice to stay on the positive side of things, sweet heart."he said showing his perfect white smile "Well for your sake anyways." "Look, just know that if we catch you distributing Red Diamonds to anyone, you will suffer the consequences harshly for it. Okay?" "Why do you say that little witch?" "Firstly, could please stop calling me that, and secondly, because S.A.B. got a new chief. Believe me when I say he's not the friendly type towards dragons. It is unfortunate that we had this meeting Jelavich, have a nice evening with Barbie." I said as got up to leave. While I was making my exit from the club, I caught a final glimpse of Gabby. She was at the bar chatting with the bartender when she turned her head and blew me a kiss. I just blushed and smiled in response. That reminds me, I might call up one of my kissing buddies to let off some steam. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The next day I walked into work for some odd reason feeling real lousy. I've never felt like this before, which meant something awful had happened. Something that I never thought would happen. "I am so sorry. Carter Riley's dead. He was attack by a group of rabid vampires while he was doing a sting bust operation." I felt a lump in my throat, tears fell from my eyes and I felt my heart ache for my lost partner. "Wh...wha...what about his family, did you contact with his family?" "No, we didn't. We thought since you were partners, and were so close, that it would be best if you go and tell his family. I'm really sorry I had to break the news to you so early in the morning. Riley was a good man; his family deserves to know what happened to him." "Umm..... Yeah, sure thing Captain, will do." As soon as I left the room, I couldn't hold back the sobs anymore. They were coming no matter how hard I tried to keep them at bay. They just poured out of me like a never-ending river. I ran into our office, sat in Riley's chair, and stared at a photo of his family. The photo started getting blurry with my tears as I thought about how I was to going tell his wife and kids about his death. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Goddamnit that's the third time this month those S.A.B. agents came by fucking with me about my club. When will this shit ever end? Yeah all the other shit might be true, but the Red Diamonds and the missing person's case, that's all new to me. Maybe I should have never went out of town a few months prior, maybe then I wouldn't have to be dealing with this shit as soon as I got back. I was pacing around in my office getting real irritated at those damn S.A.B. agents, although I will admit they did catch me by surprise when they sent over that delicious looking little witch to interrogate me, even though she's incredibly skinny, somebody's not feeding her. My thought were interrupted by Stallion when he barged in unannounced. "Stallion what have I told you about coming in unannounced." I yell "Yes I know sir, but it's urgent, your sister she needs you now, she going insane." "Alright stay here watch over everything while I am gone." Saying towards Stallion before, walking out the back door. Once outside I got rid of my human form and turn into my dragon and took off. When I landed in the mountains where my sister lived, the scene before twisted at my heart. My sister in dragon form, flying around frantically setting tress on fire and everything else in her path ablaze and roaring with such pain, The underlings did their best to tame her, but they were no match for her. Getting a sense of the atmosphere I knew something was very wrong and it had to do with Amelia, my niece "Amarrrrraaa! Whats going on, are you going insane?" I mentally called to her. She stops to look at me with tears falling from her eyes as she changed into her human form. And change spoke to with gasps and sobs. "It's Amelia, she's been kidnap 'gasp' she was out with her human friends at some night club call Night Star and sh...sh...she was kidnap by four male vampires." She finally said screaming with sheer agony. There were so many question running through my head as tried to control my rage at the thought of some bloodsucker would even touch a single hair on my nieces head, let alone kidnapping her and doing God knows what to her, made fire burst through my mouth. "Her friends said that they all were dancing together enjoying themselves when two good looking up to them if they want some treats." "What type of treats?" "It was something called Red Diamonds they offer them Red Diamonds." "Please don't tell me she took it." "Unfortunately she did and some other girl, but the other two didn't those are the ones that told me what happen, they said once she took it she was bouncing off the walls, they said she attempted to shift in front of everybody, but then they into a argument about her being out of control and stomped off. After minutes they grew worried and went to look for her and the other girl. They looked everywhere until they went outside in the parking lot, and saw four male vampires pushing her and her friend into a black SUV." "Please don't tell me she went willing, did she?" "She didn't. They said she was fighting tooth and nail, until one of them grabbed her by her shoulders and commanded her to sleep. They pick her up threw in the back seat with the other girl before they could do anything they drove off; they didn't even have a license plate. OHHH Kirill what am I going to do I can't sense her to see if she's ok or anything it's like she's vanished. I should never let her out of my sight, I should let her leave the mountains, I should never let her father die, I should have done something but I didn't, this is all my fault." My sister said as finally had her nervous breakdown. I watched as she was going back into her dragon form. It's really painful to see my sister like this. And hate it that my niece was out there somewhere, and I have no way of communicating with her. I can't get her smell, her essence or anything that will help me find her. Whoever did this is working with some serious mojo. But no matter what I am going to find my niece, and kill the fucking cockroach, who did her harm. And there's only one way I know how. I will have to make my foes my friends. To be continued... A Very Thin Line Ch. 02 Thanks to everyone who took the time out to read my story, and actually like it. I will admit that I didn't know much about dragons when I first wrote this, but I am doing some research on them, and their myths, hopefully I will be successful at putting my own little twist to it. Feedback is more than welcome. Tell me how you feel. But please be nice I am not so confident with this chapter. BTW a big thank you to the editor little_blonde_jug. Why? Why? Just why does every fucking thing have to be so fucking hard? Why can't I just run away from this day? Why isn't there some magical spell that can pull back time just two days prior for the sake of Riley? Why? If he was such a brilliant fucking wizard, how come he was stupid enough to go on a sting operation without a protection spell in the first place? Ohhhhh god Riley, why did you do the things you did? Taking a deep breath, I try to wrap my head around the simple fact that you're gone. I am sitting here all alone, doing all the paperwork by myself, with no one to talk to but myself: this is a fucking mess. A knock at the door cause me to break my train of thought. "Hey there Lulu, how you feeling?" Jimmie Bob asked me with a sad look upon his face. "I feel like shit, what else would I feel like after I found out that my partner and best friend was fucking murder by a group of rabid vampires? And after talking to Samson, he basically died for nothing, because there was one fucking cart of Red Diamonds there, and no fucking kingpin, so something tells me that the whole operation was rigged in the first place," I said, letting out my frustration with this whole mess. "And by the way, where was his back-up? Did he not have any? What the hell happened? I asked Samson, but once he told me about the little tidbits he fucking disappeared on me. Where was he when Riley got fucking jumped, and hell, where were you in this whole mess?" "Listen Lulu, I know you are upset at the moment. In fact, we are all upset, but please understand that when things got all heated and complicated he just ran in there in the heat of the moment, you knew how he was when the adrenaline of the chase got a hold of him, you know he loved this job, hell, to be honest about it he would have done this job for free if it came down to it. And once he ran in there, we all just attacked. There were so many of them, they were like roaches. I mean, there was no holding them back," he said with a sad look on his face. I tried to enter his brain to see if was lying, but apparently he put his mental shields up. DAMN. That's the trouble of working with witches and wizards: they can easily put up a mental block, and the only way I can use my telepathy is to catch them off-guard, when their mental shields are down. "Look, we all know how you are feeling because we lost a good friend and wonderful co-worker too, so please don't just blame anybody for his death. We all did the best we could with the raid, but everything was so fucking unexpected at that moment. I am sorry Lu, if there was anything I could do differently to bring back Riley, I would do it in a heartbeat, but there isn't. I'm sorry," he said, looking back at me. "Hey, what time are you going over to tell his family about his death?" "I don't know yet, I am still processing his death myself to be honest." "All right, well, take your time and I will be here if you need anything." "Yeah, sure," I finally said, letting out a long sigh. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "Dunlap, Dunlap, where the fuck are you? You are supposed to be my fucking back-up, where the hell are you?" On the other end was nothing but silence. I stand in complete darkness with my back up against the wall. Even with my supernatural abilities I am still somewhat human and I still can't see shit, which made my heart jump into my throat, causing me to panic even more. Closing my eyes, I debate on what I should do in order to protect myself. I know there's a pack of rabid vampires out there to attack me at any moment, and there's nothing I can do about it. Slow, steady footsteps catch my attention in the far distance to my left; my panic level really starts to rise as the steps come closer to me. "Come out, come out of hiding my little witch, there's a lot of fun to be had with you, sweetheart. My friends and I are so bored." Fuck, the vampire scented me. Oh man. Through the darkness, I try to feel around my surroundings. With my back up against the wall, I start moving towards my right in hopes of getting away, but my hopes soon die as I hear a second pair of footsteps coming towards me. I stand, frozen, scared out of my mind as I am being surrounded by these monsters. Tears fall down my eyes as I know my life would end right here, right now. No matter how good of a witch I am, I still will not be able to defend myself against a group of hungry vampires. Sinking to the ground as my fate has been sealed, I start thinking of Riley. I could feel his dread as he knew this was the end of the line for him, just like it is for me. I will never see my family again, I will never get a chance to say I love you, I will never get the chance to see my child's smiling face again, or get a kiss from my loving partner as death is walking towards me with a huge beautiful smile on his face. "Oh little witch, we are going to have so much fun watching that last little bit of magical light leave your eyes," he said to me with such a soft, soothing voice. It was then that I felt the icy touch of a cold finger on the back of my neck. There was no need for me to turn around to see my death's friend behind me, giving me that reassuring touch of his icy hand. Tonight I will take my last breath of life on this earth. The hand suddenly cuts off my supply. I look up to see my end coming towards me with razor sharp teeth, and then I see nothing but complete blackness. *~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ "CARTER, CARTER, WAKE UP!" The screaming voice of my captain brought me back to reality. Taking a deep breath, thankful that he brought me out of that nightmare, I looked down at my desk to see unfinished reports and paper. "Are you okay? Oh god, you look awful, that nightmare you had must really have done a number on you, huh?" "Yeah, I guess so." "Listen, once you talk with Riley's family, why don't you just take the rest of the day off, okay? I'll get Samson or Dunlap to finish these reports." "Yeah, thanks captain." Getting up, taking a nice long stretch, I thought back to the nightmare I had. It was weird that I would be dreaming something like that. Chalking it up to nothing but missing Riley, I didn't think anything else of it. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* I thought I could do this with a straight face, but I couldn't, not like this, not with the Happy Birthday balloons on the mail box. But this is not about me, I reminded myself. I have to stop being so selfish with this. I rung the doorbell with a heavy heart, and waited. Hurried and excited footsteps came to open the door. "Oh Lulu! I am so glad that you are here, you can help me set up Riley Jr.'s birth....day... party, oh god no, please don't tell me Lu, pleeeeasseee don't tell me Riley's dea..... oh god, I think I'm going to...." It was too late for the rest of the words. Susie vomited all over me and the front the porch. I guess the idea of her husband's death combined with her youngest child's birthday was a little too much for her to handle. Hell, I am still processing the information since this morning. "I am sorry Lu." She said to me, crying, with shaky breath. "Oh no, it's fine, I understand your pain. I guess I should be going now." Seeing her so upset made my own tears resurface. "No, please, don't go. I need somebody right now," she said, dragging me inside by the hand. Once inside, our heartache seemed to increase as we kept drying our tears, but it was to no avail, fresh ones kept coming back. Riley was like a brother to me, an older brother. A much needed older brother. He took me under his wing when I first joined S.A.B. He saw something in me that the other S.A.B. agents didn't. He didn't laugh at me like the other agents did when I fell flat on my face, chasing my first newborn baby vampire. No, he picked me up, help dust off the dirt and said "It's okay, you'll get your chance to shine." He didn't look down on me and talk shit like the other agents did because I was so short and skinny. What I lacked in size, I made up for in my magic. And most importantly, he didn't give me shit like the other males did, since I was the only female in the agency at the time. I guess I set a precedent, or kicked down a few doors since then, because now we have three more female agents. Yep Riley, you were truly something special, and you are putting everything into perspective now that you're dead. Losing you is awful on me, but I cannot imagine the terrible gut-wrenching pain that your wife is feeling at the moment, and I definitely cannot fathom the pain your kids will go through once they found out. Over the years, being an S.A.B. agent has made me tough. Chasing down demons, rouge werewolves, psycho crazy warlocks, power hungry demigods, and covens of evil wicked vampires that cause havoc amongst innocent people will certainly toughen you up. However, I guess I was wrong. Riley's death was hard to deal with, but I cannot imagine the loss of my little sister Lucile. She drives me crazy, and makes me want to take an energy bolt and throw it at her head, but I wouldn't want to lose her. My mother gets on my case all the time about me being bisexual, and not accepting any grandchildren, but she's the reason why I am here doing the work I do, and I love everything about her. And last but not least, I think about gran-gran. Dear old gran-gran, she is such an amazing woman. My mother, Lucile, and I would probably lose our heads without her. "I just..... I just don't know what I am going to do Luanne, oh god, why do these things have to happen?" she said, putting her head down in her hands. All I could do was just sit and watch. There was nothing I could do to ease her pain. "I told him that job would be the death of him," she said, raising her head. "I just told him." "You didn't get suspicious when he didn't come home last night or even early this morning?" I asked. "No, I didn't, because that's what Riley would do. He was dedicated to that job. In fact, he was so dedicated he would spend late nights working till morning. Hell, sometimes he wouldn't even come home until noon. So no, I didn't get suspicious at all. Sometimes I would think he loved that job more than his own family." "Aw no, don't say that he didn't love you guys, he talked about you all non-stop at work. He probably worked those long hours for you guys." "Yeah, I guess you're right. He probably didn't want what happened to Dana to happen as soon we got married." "Oh, Dana, I have only heard bits and pieces of her. He never really flat out told me what happened." "I probably shouldn't be telling you this, but there's no point of withholding it now. Riley's older sister Dana was murdered by a master vampire. He was sixteen and had just awakened into his powers. She was eighteen and had awakened into her powers two years earlier. Despite all the magic she learned, as well as her natural abilities, she was no match for a master vampire and his minions. Ever since that day he was determined to seek revenge, to get justice for the ones who didn't have any, and to save a damsel from distress. It is such a shame that the vampire that killed Dana is still at large, doing god knows what to innocent girls." She gave out another cry. Now I have to figure out what I am going to do when the other three awaken. I mean, me being a regular human I don't know what to do. Hell, I was scared for Jacob when he awakened, but Riley was there to walk him through it. Now I have to think about the twins, Selena and Sabrina, and little Riley Jr. A loud buzzing sound came from the dryer, indicating that my clothes were done drying. Susie got up with shaky legs and retrieved my clothes. Out the living room window we both see a yellow school bus that read Everfield Elementary. Little Riley ran out with a big smile, waving a piece of paper in his hand. "You should be going now, I imagine you don't want to see a child cry," she said to me, handing me my shirt. "Yeah, I guess so." Taking my shirt, I hurriedly put it over my head and walked towards the door, opening it to a beaming little Riley. "Hey there Aunt Lulu, leaving so soon? I wanted to show you my spelling tests results." "Um I am sorry kid, maybe later, but right now I am in big rush," I said, while Susie was walking me out. "Oh mama, this is the best birthday ever! I made an A+ on my spelling test, I can't wait to tell daddy." Those were the last words I heard before power walking to my car. I catch a glimpse of myself, and think that the captain was right: I do need the rest of the day off. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* "You know you were my first?" "Your first what? Black girl?" "Ummm naaah, well that too, but you are my first witch. I mean, all of my lovers have been werewolves or vampires, but I didn't know a witch would taste so good until I meet you," she said giving me a little wicked smile. I usually don't go for blondes, but Cassie was a nice girl, she had a wonderful body, and she was eager to please me sexually. And I was eager to please her, but not tonight, I just wanted some time to think, but she just suddenly popped up on my front porch. I would have told her I didn't feel like being bothered at the moment, but she came all the way across town to see me. She started rubbing my bare thigh underneath the night gown I was wearing, and leaning towards for a kiss, I stopped her dead in her tracks. She looked at me, puzzled by my actions. "I really don't want to do that right now, okay? Can we just talk for a bit?" "About what, my cocoa butternut?" "Ummm, I don't know, anything, I just don't want to have sex right now." "Ohhhh this must be something serious hun then, well I guess we could talk. So whats been on your mind lately. "Work, and family, well mainly work." "Unn huh." She said tracing a well manicured finger along the side of my neck "Well a close friend and partner was murder doing a sting. They have been follwing this big kingpin for little over a year now, but when the sting came it was a big hoax, because there was only one crate of Red Diamonds and no druglord." "So basically you feel like that your friend died for nothing, is that what you are telling me." "Yeah, I guess, but you know what the funny thing is, Riley was a powerful wizard and damn good agent and I have seen him in action, and it was a sight to see, I mean with the powers he had and his detrimination was unbelivable, he was the best at everything he did in the agency. From tracking down rogue werewolves, to capturing mencaing demoons, to extriminating a coven a vampires, and everything else in between, so it baffles me that he would get murder a small group of them. In the back of my mind something is telling me theres more to the story, I can just feel it in my gut." Cassie said nothing, but gave me sympathtic look, while she was still touching me, until she finally broke the silence by saying: "ummmm sounds you're dealing with something tough huh, well come here baby, you look like you need a cuddle session." She said wrapping her arms around me. Feeling her arms around me had me feeling more relax, and stated. It surprised me that, she was so understanding and comforting with me, in fact she was so comforting that I found myself sliping into a deep peaceful slumber. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The next day I was feeling a little better. I noticed Cassie wasn't there holding me anymore, but was still around because I heard her thoughts coming from the kitchen.Getting up streching out my whole body, I headed to my bedroom to get ready for the day. Once I was done getting dress, the scent of bacon caught my attention. Going to the kitchen seeing Cassie there making breakfast brought a smile to my face "hey there whats cooking good looking?" She let out a little giggle and said "you are so corny and cute, it's no wonder why I like you so much, but anyways I am making apple cinnamon pancakes, scramble eggs, some nice turkey sausage for you, and bacon for me. Hey do you think you could use you your magic to make some o.j. appear?" "Hehehe, if I could use my magic to make any food appear, I wouldn't be going groccery shopping every other week, plus sometimes those type of things can sometimes go wrong." "Ahhh, hey whats the point at having all these magical abilities, and you can't even those at your own benfits, or for self gain?" "Well I don't know how anybody else with a magical family was raise, but I was brought up that magic is a gift, and should be used wisely and not take it for granted." "Is that why you're with that agency?" my attention got distracted by Bob Marley's Jamming coming from the living room. I didn't have to check my caller the caller ID on my cell phone to know that the captain was calling me in. "Hey listen, my capatin is calling me in so please be a dear lock up when you let yourself out okay." "You didn't answer my question." "I'll tell you when we meet again, bye sweetie pie" ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Once I went through the doors of S.A.B. I was greeted with "CARTER, I NEED TO SPEAK WITH YOU," my captain yell to me acroos the building. "Have a set there Carter, I have good news for you this moring. As you know the drug Red Diamond is the lastest epidemic in Las Vegas, and I know you have been working really hard to put an end to this, and to find those missing young people." "Yeaaaaah, so whats the good news captain?" "Well you've got a lead, and help" "What do you mean by help? I don't need any help." "Well your getting it regradless, besides the agency can bennefit from this man by him helping us a whole lot" "Who?" My question was anwser by a familiar voice from behind me. "Hey there my little witchy poo, I am so thrilled to be working with you." "WHAT THE FREAK" A Very Thin Line Ch. 03 This shit is unbelievable. How the fuck can somebody like Jelavich help me do my fucking job? The captain can't be serious. "Are you serious captain? Please tell me you are kidding right?" said Kirill. "No, I am not kidding. Mr. Jelavich was kind enough to help us with the case we are working on in order to catch the bad guys, we need all the help we can get." "I know we need some help; but we don't need his help, and definitely not on my case with me. If he choose to help (Supernatural Agency Bureau or) S.A.B out you can partner him up with someone else, I don't want to be his partner." Kirill fired back. "Well, that's too fucking bad Carter. He came on his accord and offered his assistance in finding the assholes that are ruining our city, and he asked to work with you. So please be a sweetheart, shut the fuck up, and work with this man for Christ sakes. Now, I know you hate men but please do not take put all your hatred on a man that can help us solve this case." "Yeah whatever, and for the record I don't hate men, they just get on my nerves, sometimes." "Whatever Carter." said the Captain. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The look on the witch's face clearly told a thousand words. The look she gave me was as plain as day and stated that she hated my guts and did not want to be bothered with me. Did she always have that frown? But no matter I didn't come here for her. I came to get my niece back safe and sound; she and this damn agency is the only way that I know how to accomplish that goal. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~* It will be hard working for a man; you couldn't stand to be around. A person doesn't know how hard it is to be working with someone that is arrogant, self assured, and very egoistical to the extreme. I love my job and I will do this to the best of my ability. "The case files are on the desk, in front of you." I said going over to the window. I looked down at the busy streets below me. People were making errands here and there, bumping into each other as they go by, people not watching were they are going, and some just seem to be lost as the world passed them by. "This is going to be a tough case to crack doll face. Just looking at this guy, he is too powerful to take down financially and personally at the same time." I turned back toward Jelavich and looking out the window beyond. He seemed to be deep in thought as he was going through the case files. Now that I got a good look at him in the light(,) I can see that he is truly a handsome man, as well as why all the women will fawn over him like he was a god. In the darkened club I really couldn't get a good look at him but now I can see all the sexiness that made up this man. His skin was so smooth and pale but it radiated like the sun. The light shone on his inky black hair made a glare almost blinding to the eye. Just by looking at his hair made me want to run my fingers through just to see how it feels. Wait hold up, what the fuck did I just say. I should not be thinking of touching this man when he probably touched and did dirty things. In the darken club his eyes held me with no interest, but now, my god they were beautiful. Those eyes were like a winters kiss on a cold December day.Why didn't I notice how blue his eyes were beforehand? My thoughts were broken when Jelavich cleared his throat to speak. "If you want, I have a keen sense of smell, if you guys have anything that has a scent, I can track something down." He said standing from his leaning position. "Yeah, actually we do have something, let me get it." I went over to the files cabinets to retrieve a half empty glass vial of Red Diamonds. When I handed Jelavich the vial, our hands accidently brushed sending a little electric shock this caused me to jump back a little. I knew he felt it too because he just stood there staring at me. My mind was about drift to places that doesn't to want to go and my will power decided against it. "Is that vial good enough to help with the tracking?" "OH yeah, this definitely good enough and I'll let you know what I found out, when I get enough information." I was stunned as he about to turn around and leave. "Wait you just can't leave like this, where are you going?" "To handle my own business with this case, when I come back I will let you know what I found out. Catch you later." I was about to protest more, but I stood still when I saw flames encasing Jelavich. His whole body went up in flames. I was about to rush over to him, but in an instant the flames were gone, and Jelavich had disappeared. There was nothing in his place but a scorch mark of his exit. "Wow, that was one hell of an exit." I said to myself gasping. "It sure in the hell is. I bet working with him will be a blast." She said to herself. I looked up to see a new female recruit flabbergasted just as I was in the doorway of my office. "Hey, I am April Benson, the new recruit." "Hey, I am Luanne Carter, I have been working with S.A.B. for the past eight years. How do like it here so far?" "It's great. I have got to see the gym and the training center and check out the great collection of guns. So are you the Luanne Carter that everyone has been talking about?" "People talk about me?" "They sure do honey. I haven't been here for a good hour people are already giving me all your information." "Is that so? I wonder what they say about me." "Well, nothing too bad. Are you and I the only females that are working with S.A.B.?" "No, there's four more females working here but they haven't arrived yet. So I am guessing the ones that were talking shit about me were all men correct?" "Yep" "Figures! So what are you anyway?" "I am half siren and half were-tiger." "Oh what a cool combination let me guess, your mother was the siren?" "YYEEEEPPP" I was about to ask another question until heard rumbles coming from our stomachs. "Well it sounds like our bellies are ready for us to get some food. Hey you want to join me for lunch?" "Sure that would be great." I took the hand of my new friend as we made our way to the cafeteria for lunch. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~* The scent on the vial indicated that, whoever is dealing these Red Diamonds were nothing but little young vampires working for some higher up king pin. Tracking down the young punks was easy, but trying to get the big man in charge well, that's the hard part. As I landed on the mountain, I heard my sister screaming at the top of her lungs yelling at the servants'. Shifting into my human form I walked inside the cave watching as my sister as she threw things around and yelling. "Do you idiots have any idea what I am going through? My daughter is out there somewhere fucking missing and you guys are making it worse by not doing your fucking jobs. This is bullshit." said Amara "Amara don't take out your frustration and anger on the staff. We will find Amelia." I said walking over to my big sister Kirill. She turned around to look at me with a myriad of emotions running through her face. "What if we don't Kirill? What then? I am just so fucking upset about this, I just want my baby back." said Amara. Amara begins crying and closes the gap between us, wrapping her arms around me. "I know Amara, I am doing everything I can to get her back, I miss her too. But you can't just take out your anger on the ones that care about you." "I know my big little brother. I just hope you found her real soon, because this really killing me." I wrapped my arms around her even tighter as she began crying into my chest. I prayed to the gods and goddess of the dragons would hear me and give me the strength and guidance in order to find my niece, and I hope that little witch is trustworthy enough. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Once I left my sister to have time to herself, I went out to finish up the tracking I had done earlier. My dragon senses indicated that their hideout wasn't too far out of the Las Vegas area. In fact, it didn't take me long to get to where I was going. The warehouse they were operating out of sat across the street from an old abandoned building that made it easy for me to hide from their sight. Hell it was easy for a dragon to hide from any creature supernatural or human, because we can choose to make ourselves invisible if we want to. "So where were we going distribute the Diamonds tonight? At Goth club?" a tall red haired vamp said. Another vampire came in right behind answering his questions. "I don't know yet man, but I hope it's somewhere with some dumb bitches for an easy lay. I have gone a long time without any pussy." Both these men made idle chit chat while they were unloading and uploading their black van. Their whole conversation went on for a whole thirty minutes about which type of girls they would like to fuck and would fuck. Then abruptly it came to an end when the tall red haired vampire answered his cell phone. "Yeah ok that's, mmm, hmmm, are you sure? Well, o.k. whatever you say boss." Tucking the phone back into his pants, the red head turned to the blonde. "The boss made a change of plans. We're going to lay low tonight. Apparently there has been a news report about the missing kids, and people are getting very suspicious. "So what are we going to do about them now?" "Keep them hidden were they are; then go home, and keep a low profile." The two vampires finish up loading the trucks in silence. When they are done they go their separate ways. On just the spur of the moment I just started following the red head. Keeping myself invisible I was able to keep up with the vampire without being notice. He walked straight for twenty minutes until he made a left hand turn down a busy street. Although the street was busy it wasn't busy enough for someone to bump into me. Thank god for that. We continued to walk for some time until we turn into a dark deserted alley. Going inside a little ways he stopped at a wooden door. I figured this was now or never for the questioning. Before he could even knock I grabbed him around his neck, and slammed him up against the wall. To say that he was surprised was an understatement. "WHAT THE FUCK!?!" said the pinned red headed vampire "Tell me everything that you are doing with the Red Diamonds, and missing teenagers?" "What the fucking hell I can't see shit. Who and what the fuck are you dude? Get the fuck off me." Turning the vampire around to face me, I made myself come into sight before his eyes. He really got scared then; if it were possible I think he would have pissed himself. "ho....how in the hell did you do that? What are you man? I didn't sense you at all!" The man's panic increased when I elongated my fangs and my eyes turned into a dark fiery abyss. I tighten my hold on the man and ask him again. "One more time boy tell me what you doing with the Red Diamonds or I will charcoal you right here, right now." When those words left my mouth fire escaped my lips burning the vampires face a little. I laughed when he let a high pitched girly scream that would make any toddler jealous. "Alright alright man I'll tell you everything that I know but please for the love of god please do not do that fire thing again." I chuckled a little at his fear. Despite the myth being wrong vampires were able to walk in daylight anybody else, but they had a serious fear of fire. "I am just a delivery guy, man. I just get the calls from the boss and he tells us where to go, who to take it too, and when they should take it, other than that, I really don't know, honest to god." There was something more to the story that he was not telling me about. I needed to get information out of him. I tighten my hold around his throat again and lifted him off his feet. "What do you mean you don't know? You don't know who the person you are working for, or the kids you take? Be honest, give me everything you know." "We go to the clubs, give the Diamonds to some teens, we take them, hide them, and wait for the boss to show. Me and the other delivery guys never get a good look at him or can get a scent off him. He just comes in as dark hooded figure with no scent and takes the girls after a week Honest to God man that's all I know, I don't know anything else." My right hand was still around his throat, I reached into my pocket with my other hand taking out a picture of my niece in her human form. "During that time have you ever taken this girl from any clubs?" I shove the picture in his face hoping he can get an idea of who she was. "I am so sorry man I really can't remember. We have taken so many girls human and non human that we don't remember what they look like. All I know is that, all the delivery guys were to go to different parts of the city, and take whoever we can get." "I should burn you to ash right where you stand vampire, and let the city come and clean you up then dump you into the dumpster where you belong.." another ball of fire escaped my mouth. "You better take another look and try to remember her vampire." He stood there looking at the picture for a while trying to reminisce. "Honestly dude I cannot place that girl, but if it helps I might be able to help you find her or point you in the right direction." I stood there going over the possibilities in my head for a moment. Coming to a conclusion, I finally relented and accepted this man's help. "Ok, you can do that, but if we don't find her you'll be terribly sorry." ~*~*~*~*~*~* The new girl had been fun and entertaining to talk to and very good looking to look at. She was taller than me at 5'10, she had bright red hair that came down to her butt, she had an angelic face, with big round black eyes, full pouty lips, and a nice set of generous breasts a small cute tattoo of butterflies on each of them. But what really got me about her appearance was the fact that she had a nice smile. She made me feel all warm and fuzzy inside whenever I made a corny ass joke and she just giggled. "So you know all about me, but I don't know anything about you, wanna give me some tidbits?" the girl asked with a sexy little smirk on her face. "Alright I will give you some tidbits about me. Well let's see where should I begin? Well, I am twenty-eight years old, my favorite color is red, I came from a family of witches, and of course I awakened into my powers and abilities when I was twenty-one." "Wait 'awakened' what does that mean?" An awakening means that when a witch, wizard, warlock, and hoodoo mage, they will come into their powers at a certain age. Like for instance; before I turned twenty-one, the only thing magical about me was the fact I could help my mother and grandmother make potions and write out spells. But once I turn twenty-one, my abilities kicked in." "So half of you was suppressed until you turned twenty-one? " " The first thing I discovered was with telepathy, all the thoughts that I was hearing was making my head hurt. It was so painful just to do mundane things like; reading, going to the store, enjoying ice cream without listening in on others. But eventually my mother and grandmother got a hold of me and taught me how control it, how to tune people out when need be. So now I only listen in when I want to, or need to." "So wait a minute, can you even listen in on supernatural's?" "Yes, I can listen in on everyone, except for people in the agency because they put their mental block on. I can listen to what you are really thinking right now, but I choose not to." "Hmm that's awesome. Well thanks for letting me know you have that gift so I know I can block you from all the dirty sex things that go on in my head." I couldn't help but to laugh at her humor. Not only was this girl hot as hell but she had a great sense of humor to boot. I really hoped that she and would work together well. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~* Following the vampire into the warehouse, I could smell the distinct smell of something or someone soiling themselves. Everything was dark, damp, and dusty. I can hear the cries of young girls coming from down the hall as we walked in. "You never answered my question man what are you? I mean being a vampire(,) I should've detected you." "What I am is none of your business, what you need to be concerned about is the fact that my niece is out there somewhere, and you may be the cause of it." "Aright dude you don't have to get all fussy about it, I'll quite asking. Oh, here we are." He said stopping in front of two wooden doors. He opens them, and the sudden snitch of decay assaulted my nostrils. The vampire must have smelt it too judging by his reactions. The smell could only mean that someone has died there. We walked in further inside the basement and came to the cell that was holding the teenagers. Editing needed: Looking upon them made me want to choke the living hell out of this vampire for doing this to innocent children and the sight made me sick to my stomach. Just imagining all these kids were abducted from my club, and I could give two shits about them, made me really want to vomit. All of these are here because of me. The regret and heartache was overwhelming me to no end. Somehow I felt responsible for these girls, and the simple fact that my niece is out there somewhere, probably in the same condition as these girls maybe worse. They were at least thirty of them in one small cell. There were thirty-one but the rotting smell indicated that one had passed away. They were filthy with dirt, vomit, and piss. They looked starved by the way their eyes had sunken into their skulls. None of these girls were my niece, but seeing them like this in this condition set a new found hatred in the pits of my stomach. Turning to the vampire looking him dead in his eye, I asked "How can you keep these girls here in this condition like this? They are filthy and starved, you evil little shit open the damn cell." "I'm sorry man I can't do that I mean----"grabbing him around his neck slamming him into the bars of the cell, I demanded that he unlock the cell door. His hands shook as he reached into his pocket fishing out keys to unlock the cell door. Once the door was open; the girls just sat there looking at us with wide eyes, they didn't move or do anything. "You sick fuck you have paralyzed these girls here with fear how could you do this, why?" Letting out a few sniffles, the vampire began crying "I don't know man, I really don't know. I know this is awful of what I am doing but I.... I.....ne..hheee..ed" he really started to break down then. Bloody tears poured out of his eyes like a never ending bloody river. There was something more than meets the eye with this man. He was obliviously in turmoil of hurt, pain, confusion, and desperation. Our feelings were identical in this regard. "I need to find my daughter. The person that I am working for sold my daughter into supernatural shadow world. I went to the Las Vegas supernatural police but they wouldn't hear my case. So I took it upon myself to find her. The people that I am working with don't know about me or my agenda. I have been working with these people undercover now for a year now. I have seen horrible things from both supernatural and natural people. I all want to do is find my daughter and bring her back to me safe and sound, I didn't know taking innocents, killing people, and dealing out toxic drugs to young kids is what I have to do in order to retrieve her. So I know how you feel about your niece, we are in the same boat here." "AND YOUR ABOUT TO SINK. GET 'EM BOYS." We both looked up at the same time seeing the blonde vampire from earlier loading the trucks, and fifteen to twenty demons running up behind him. Getting ready for a battle, I took a stand in my fighter's pose at the approaching demons coming towards me. I was about to throw a punch but something hard, heavy, and very blunt came down on the back of my head and I crumbled to the ground with the sound of screaming girls fading into the background, as I faded into unconsciousness. A Very Thin Line Ch. 03 ~*~*~*~*~*~* "Hahahaha wow I am so glad that I meet you today, you seem like a real cool person, despite what people have said about you." "Well thanks. People always mistake me at first judgment." April and I laughed and talk throughout lunch. When we got back into my office she made herself at home by laying across the couch. I was about to ask her another question, until she beat me to the punch. "I wonder what it most feel like to make an exit like that? Because he look like he didn't get burned. I am still reeling over how cool it was to make an exit like that." April said looking at the burned carpet that Jelavich left behind. I went over to where the spot was and bent down in front of it. I know I should have been pissed off that Jelavich fucked up my good carpet, but I wasn't, that's strange. Well, anyways I thought to myself nothing a little magic won't help. My curiosity got the best of me when I slightly touched the smug marks with my finger tips. Rubbing the blackness between my fingers and thumb made an odd feeling running through my veins. I was about to go wash my hands when suddenly that odd feeling increased through the veins of my arm, and went straight to my head causing excruciating pain. I looked up to see April for help, but she wasn't there, in fact my couch wasn't there either. I looked around to realize that I was no longer in my office but in a dingy dusty old basement. My panic increased tenfold when I saw young teenage girls crying and screaming in a cell at the sight of fast approaching demons ready for an attack. But the demons weren't coming towards me they were going towards Jelavich which really confuse the hell out of me. I saw him getting prepared to fight the oncoming of demons, but he was struck in the back of his head. I screamed his name as he was crumbling down but my voice was not heard. I screamed again but the only thing that came out was silence. I stepped forward to take action into my own hands, but something pulled me back, and it pulled me back hard. I struggled a bit trying to fight whatever this unseen force was, but it was to strong, and my fighting was useless. And the next thing I knew I was laying on the couch with my Captain looking over me with a concern look in his eyes. He stopped shaking me once he saw that I was awake. "Oh my god is she going to be ok?" I heard April asked. When I looked over to her, she had a very sad look upon her face at my condition. "Hey kid, what the hell happen to you? You had me worried sick." "I...um..umm really don't." I said rubbing my temples. "Do you need anything, darling? Are you sure there's nothing wrong with you?" "It's the girls. I think know where the missing girls are?" My captain looked at me shocked. "Where are they?" "With Jelavich in a basement." He looked really confused then "Jelavich?" "Yeah Jelavich is in trouble." * Author's Note: I really hope this chapter was good enough for the readers, because at one point wasn't feeling this story. Until one day I got my imagination in gear to complete this story. I would like to send my thanks to Dorndad for doing a good job on the editing.
