It didn't take Asim long to find his thrall. He would always carry a connection with the girl and know where and how she was. He entered a tunnel and found the two vampire assassin chicks guarding a door. "Ladies." Asim said in greeting with a smile and a slight bow of his head. "Let's make this brief." The two vampire women came at him the same way as before, it seemed they were as pleased to see him again to cause more pain. He was actually fond of seeing them too, it made for a good play time but he didn't have time for this. Hating the very nature of his actions he suddenly went against his code of conduct and bolted between them. A quick swipe from one of the sai's nearly stabbed him in the face as he craned back his head and skidded across ground. (Think almost Matrix) Tuning out their insults and quips he ran from them and kicked open the door to Zero's chamber. He slammed it shut behind him and bent the lock so it would take a while to open. Hopefully he had bought himself enough time to deal with Zero before his sassy groupies managed to get inside.
After hearing the last of Zero's words through Rachel's mind, Asim growled quietly in his throat. "She belongs to me actually, just like Faint Shadow did." He dropped into a guard position and approached the bed with his shoulders hunched and his glaring dark eyes flaring with rage. "No more games, no more tricks, no more deception. One way or another it ends here, Zero. But perhaps it doesn't have to end in one of us dying?" At the bed now, Asim pulled Rachel towards him and up into a sitting position facing Zero with her back pressed against Asim's chest. He watched the other vampire over her shoulder. "I know you Zero, you're a lover, not a fighter." He ran his fingers through Rachel's hair and caressed the side of her face. His eyes never left those of Zero. "What if I was to let you have this girl for as long as you wanted and whenever you wanted? You would have time and the pleasure of exacting every carnal and lust filled defloweration on this beautiful creature and I wouldn't try to stop you." He ran his hand down her body, towards her thighs. "I know you have already f**ked her... but I'm offering you so much more. Only one condition. You leave Shadow the f**k alone."

Ashley and Sylvia kept banging on the door, denting it. They would break through at least in a minute or two...but that seemed like plentty of time for Asim. *** Qalyur smiled, kissing Shadow again. "I might have to dispute that later." As Shadow leaned in to Qalyur, he drew her in close. Their foreheads touched as their breathing became slower, Qalyur glad he could sleep again.

Zero smiled at Asim, his head resetted on the head board. He looked down meeting Rachel eyes. He could see fear in them. It made him want her even more then before but the longing for Shadow was so powerful that he would fight to have her. He sat up, meeting Asim eyes again. "No deal. It might be true before of me being more of a lover and not a fighter but I have come his close. Shadow will be mine Asim. I will have her over and over and over again and this time you will not be able to stop me."
Asim was about to go for him when the door was brooken down. Another door was brooken down as two male vampires busted through. Zero grabbed his clothes and went through the door the two male vampires entered at. They followed behind him as they closed and locked the door behind him. Once again leaving his girls to fighting his battle. They knew how much their master wanted Shadow and would stop at nothing to help him.
The two vampires helped him get on his clothes as they ran out to a limo. "Did you boys follow them?"
"Yes sir."
"Good. Then take me to her."
........
Rachel moved to the head of the bed looking for her clothes she had spotted them and tried to go for them but one of the females grabbed them before she could. Rachel moved back towards the foot of the bed as she moved towards her. "Asim!" She shouted but he was busy with the other female. Rachel didn't know what to do. She still wasn't use to her vampire form or strenght or anything about her body as their was no where for her to go. She just watched the female crowl on the bed towards her helpless to stop her from doing whatever she wanted that was in her evil mind.
.............
Shadow awoken as she heard a nose in the kitchen. She looked and saw Qalyur was still sleeping. She smiled down at her new love then sighed softly thinking about Asim. Slowly getting up to not wake him she walked into the kitchen to found Zock.
He turned to her and said, "You're pregrent."
Shadow stopped short and just stared at him.
"I just know. So is it the little hunky in the other room?"
"Shhhh," Shadow began, "And yes. Well, he is the only one it could be." She smiled big looking down at her stomach.
Zock walkd over and touched her stomach. "What do you want it to be? A boy or a girl?"
"I don't know."
"Do you want to guess?"
"I want you to get your ear away from my stomach."
Zock sighed. "But I can hear it."
"I don't see how. I just had sex a little while ago."
"Well, he must have awesome little men then and well I am a specail kind of demon sweetness."
"I know Zock. A wonderful at that."
He stood up straight and looked into her eyes. "So do you still love him?"
She sighed and looked away. "Its all messed up."
He took her into his arms. Letting her head rest on her chest. "Shhhh, my dear. You have a good man and the other still fights to protect you."
"I fear he will get what he wants from me Zock."
"Well, I fear that too my sweet."
She pulled back a little looking up into his eyes and his big strong arms were still around him. "What?"
Suddenly she let out a low gasp and feel forward and down as Zock laid her on the ground. Roger was standing behind her look at Zock.
"Is he tied up tight?" Zock asked him.
"Yes, but I dont see why we are doing this Zock. We love her."
"I know but I love to live more."
"Should we tell him about the child?"
"I don't know my sweet cupcake."
"Well he wouldn't turn her then, would he?"
They turned to look down at her. The hell this woman has been through was still far from over. They should tell him so he doesn't hurt her to badly but then he would have another chance to really destory her. Nothing seemed fair for her but they didnt want to die either so it was her or them. Spinless but what could they do against a legend? They tied her up and moved her into the living room. Placing her on the floor gently they saw that her boy friends chains were tight as tight could be. His wounds still bad so even if he tired to fight it would be unwise. They would keep him calm so he could fight another day to save her because the moment Zero showed up and took her away they would need all the help they could get to bring her home.

Qalyur looked at the two men who had just deposited Shadow on the floor. His eyes narrowed as his fists clenched. "I don't care how special you may be to Shadow: once I get out of these-" He jerked at his chains. "Then I'm going to kill each of you. And I don't give a crap what your excuses are." *** Ashley and Sylvia were on Asim in a second, slashing with their sais. Asim dodged and punched, throwing Sylvia across the room to crash through a wall. Ashley barely stopped to glance at Sylvia, but that was all it took for Asim to sucker punch her. She collapsed, the force of the blow stunning her. Ashley came barreling into the room again, slamming into Asim. Both crashed into the opposite wall, vicious blows exchanged in a blur of motion. Asim jabbed Ashley in the throat, then cracked her skull when he headbutted her. She fell to the ground, blood trickling from the dent in her forehead.

Asim looked down at the two women and stumbled backwards away from them. They had been one hell of a fight and he strangely liked them. He hoped he would meet them again under less time restrained circumstances. He turned his head to glare at the two male vampires. "Who's next?" He asked, his voice low and raspy. THey came at him together and proved to be almost easy to defeat compared with the deadly skill of Ashley and Sylvia. He knocked them off their feet and made sure they stayed that way.
"Rachel." He called to the young naked vampire still curled up on the bed. He beckoned with his hand and called her name again. "Rachel. Come on, we have to get going." When she seemed too frightened to respond he went over and pulled her out of the bed by her wrist. He draped the bed sheet over her naked form and lead her towards the door. In the corridor he started running and pulled the girl along with him. "He's going for your sister... again. We're gonna stop him."
They didn't stop running until they were back at what remained of Asim's small apartment. He motioned towards the bedroom. "Go look in the drawers, you're gonna have to wear one of my T-shirts and a pair of tracksuit bottoms or something."
While Rachel went to find suitable attire, Asim got the blood out the fridge and drank until his thirst was sated. He left some out for Rachel and wiped his mouth clean with the back of his wrist as he went about strapping more weaponry to his body. He took one last glance around his home for the past few years and knew this would be the last time he would see it. He could feel that Faint Shadow was still in the city and hoped his connection with her was still strong enough to find her and his son...
"Rachel come on, we gotta go." He called after his thrall, waiting for her.

Zock looked at Qalyur, their eyes locked. "I love her with all my heart. You can not understand this boy so you have no idea how hard it is." He walked over to him and knelt down in front of him. He whispered, "She will be having your child. I know its to soon but she believes me. With this you must go after her and keep her safe from him beacause well he is going to find out."
Suddenly a voice came from behind him. "Find out what?"
Everyone turned and saw him. Zero was staying in the doorway looking at Shadow. He walked in and stood right over her then he looked at Zock. "Well, do tell," he demanded.
Roger meet his eyes and was begging him not to say anything now. They knew that Zero murdered her last child. Who knew what he would do with this one but Zock believed they had no choice. If they wanted to keep her alive then this was something he had to know.
"She's pregrent."
The room went silent. Zero just looked down at her then after a few minutes he looked at Qalyur with the most biggest and most evilest grin upon his face. "You sly dog. I thought I got to you two sooner then that. Oh, well. Just means only one thing then." He picked her up then and put her on his shoulder. Looking at the three men, Zero took out a gun. He pointed it at Zock and shot him in the chest. Then pointed it at Roger and shot him too. Then turning to Qalyur he smiled even bigger even though it seemed impossible it couldn't get any bigger then that. "They would have untied you the moment I would leave. This was their mistake. Silly fruits." He turned and walked out the door.
Placing her in his car in the back seat as easy as he could he then tied her hands and feet together so she could be to much of a hand full when getting her out if she awakes by the time he gets to his place. He then got into the drive side, started it up, and took off like lighting. Knowing someone else will be on his tale now that he had her, but he was so detrminded to keep her this time that he really would stop at nothing for her to remain with him. Now, more then ever sense he had a second chance. A second chance to destroy her after she would have this child. His plan was in montion now. So he was prepared for anything.
....
Rachel couldn't move as the fighting began. So happy to see Asim and not Zero's face anymore but she still was to afraid that someone would want to try and fight her. Man, she was feeling weakness. She was a vampire now dammit and it was time she started acting like one. But she was naked. Good grief she was being a spinless.
As Asim grabbed her after a little time had past she let him take the lead and they ran. Back in his apartment now he told her where to find some clothes. She put some on and then walked into the kitchen because she was following the smell of blood. Asim left some for her so she drank. Looking around now she heard him calling for her to hurry up. So drinking the last bit of blood in the cup she walked out to find Asim. They walked out the door then and she followed him.
In silence for a little part of the way Rachel finally said, "I'm sorry Asim. I am not use to being a vampire yet. You have been fighting this fight for such a long time. I want to help to fight by your side. I want you to know you can count on me. I really like you but I know Shadow still loves you too so I dont know if I could act on my feeling even though she f*cked your son. Family is all about what we were raised on. "Take care of one another," my father would say, "You always have each other." I am not sure abou that anymore. Zero has hurt us for a long time. He must have destroyed our village. Being the cause of our people dying. I see that now. I remember him in our home. He just smiled down at me. I thought he was my friend. Everything he did to me in secert I know now was only hurting me and driving me away from family. I was on his side until all the madness. Shadow fought him. That's when he began to like her over me. He got hooked. To him Shadow was his drug. He wanted more so badly he was craving her now stop. Then he hurt her I believe. My memory gets fuzzy then but as you now know he has been part of our lives sense we were really young. I still dont know why Shadow doesn't remember all this. She was the one that gave him that burned circle on his forehead." She sighed then. "I love my sister Asim. Nothing nor no one can say differently but I will say this. I do like you a lot and I wish to be here for you, always if you let me."

Asim listened to Rachel as they made their way through the eternal twilight city in the direction he sensed Faint Shadow. Though they weren't exactly running they were moving much quicker than any human could, the darkness lending speed to the two creatures of the night as they seemed to meld from shadow to shadow.
When Rachel finished he stopped and turned to face her. "Rachel." He said quietly, his dark eyes staring into hers. "You should know I was willing to throw you away back there. If Zero had agreed to our bargin you would not be stood here before me now... you would be at his tender mercies and I would have let him." He sighed and averted his eyes to the ground, almost guiltily. "I know now that was wrong of me. I'm sorry. But does that really make me the kind of guy you want to hang with?" He looked back into her eyes and a slight smile played across his lips as he reached out to stroke loose strands of her hair from her face. "You look so alike, you and Shadow." He sighed deeply, tears stinging his eyes, his hand dropped from her face and hung once again by his side. "She has touched me more than anything in two thousand years ever has. I love your sister and I always will. I will do anything to protect her, including from myself which is why I could never be with her... not like Qalyur could. I don't know what is going to happen after this night, we might not even live to see the end of it. But if after this has all been done and dealt with, we'll see what happens okay? Now let's get going." Asim took Rachel's hand as they resumed their journey, but he wasn't leading her this time, they moved together through the night as if they were one creature.
Reaching an apartment they entered to find two human men dead on the floor with gunshot wounds, the smell of their blood excited him, but he fought the urge to show his fangs. Asim raised an eyebrow as he checked them over. "Not Zero's usual execution style..." He went into a second room and found Qalyur tied up. He quickly freed his son from his bonds. He didn't need to ask where Shadow was. "She's still alive, I can feel it. Let's go I can find her..."

Rachel wanted to tell him so much more. If Zero would have gone with the deal the Rachel would have gone with it. Like she told him before. Family was everything to them. It would be away to protect her sister then she would have gone a long with it. She also wanted to tell Asim that if her sister loved him then their must be something wonderful about him even though he might not think so. If a human could fall in love with him then Rachel couldn't help her feelings for him that began either nor did she want too. She wanted to act on them but now wasn't the time.
As they got to the apartment she was surprised to see the two dead men on the floor. Asim was right. It wasn't like Zero to do this. She helped Qalyur his feet and they took off after her sister.
....
They made it to a dark black mansion looking house. He parked and got her out of the car. Caring her on his shoulder he walked into the house. They place was armed and ready for a war if need be. This man who own this place was the most feared vampire of this time. The Count stood at the stop of the stairs staring down at him.
"Why did you come here?"
"Because of all the creatures I knew you would be the one to understand."
He nodded thinking about Amira and a few others that had crossed his path back in the day. "I will get my men ready. In the mean time follow me."
So he did. Walking up the stairs he followed him down the hall and to a room that was at the end of the hall. The Count opened the door and had him walk in. It was beauty. Such the torture chamber. He loved it. Zero turned to The Count and nodded at him. The Count nodded back and closed the door behind him to get everything in place.
Zero then walked over to a bed that was against the far wall. He placed her down on it and undressed her. He then chained her to the bed and undressed himself. Laying their beside her he softly brushd her hair from in front of her face.
She slowly began to open her eyes and as she focused in she saw Zero staring at her. Panic began to set in and she was about to scream but realized her mouth had something over it so she couldn't scream. She just stared at him shocked wondering where Qalyur, Zock and Roger were.
"To answer all your questions my love Qalyur is alive and I left him. You two other friends aided in helping me to bring you here but they were just so afraid I was going to kill them if they didn't help me. I did anyway."
She closed her eyes then he made her look at him again.
"I know Shadow. If only they had spins they might still be alive and you wouldn't be here now but thank goodness they didn't." He moved his hand to her knee and began to move up ward. She then realized she was naked and so was he. She began to twist and turn feeling the chains around her wrist she stopped because he began to hurt her. She was trapped.
He made her look at him again. "I guess I can't kill you like I wanted too after this. To be a vampire would be great. I know you would be great but I know your secert Shadow." He moved his hand to his stomach. Their eyes locked. Her eyes widen and she began to freak out again. "Come down my love. Shhh, its ok." He said holding her. "I am not going to kill you. This is my second chance to make this right by you my love. I promise I will do it right this time."
Shadow looked confussed. She had no idea what he was talking about. They were never in love or anything of the short so why he was talking this way. So she just stared at him.
"Its ok my love. I am here for you." He began to kiss her neck as he moved his hand down massaging her in between her legs. She began to moan but in the form that he wanted him to stop but unless someone was going to come in through that door to stop him, it looked hopeless.

Qalyur cracked his neck, sighing angrily. "Thanks for the help." He said, not quite sarcastically. "I'll catch up to you. There's an old friend I have to see." Qalyur strode from the room, before vanishing in a small gust of wind. *** The door burst open, and Qalyur was looking down the barrel of a 6-gauge shotgun. "Oh, it's you." A voice said, before the gun was lowered. "So," Izin said, c*cking his head. "What can I do for you?" "I'm calling in a favor. From you." "Ah...right. I did promise that, didn't I?" Qalyur didn't say anything. Izin coughed. "Well, uh...what do you need?" "Long story short: I found my father Asim Ausar, fought him, slept with his previous lover Faint Shadow, got captured by Zero, was rescued by Shadow and Asim, found out I got Shadow pregnant, got betrayed by Shadow's friends and now she's with Zero." "Huh..." Izin stroked his goatee. "Well, I'm not one to judge, so...sure. Were do we go?" Qalyur gripped Izin's arm. "Ah shi-" Fwoosh! *** Qalyur and Izin materialized in the back of the car Asim was driving, the gust startling Asim and Rachel. Izin breathed deeply, shaking his head. "You know what your teleportation does to me, Qal!" "Stop whining, and besides, I needed to get here quickly." "Fine..." Qalyur saw the wary glances on Asim and Rachel's faces. "This," He said, gesturing to Izin. "Is Izin Kritnas, a very helpful friend." Izin waved, smiling a little as he bowed. "Izin Kritnas, Avatar of Fear, at your service..."

(OOC: Looks like Asim's driving a car then lol)
Asim watched as Qalyur suddenly disappeared to find help. He wondered where on earth the half-vampire had acquired such an ability, It was certainly not from either of his parents. He turned to Rachel and nodded towards the two corpses. "I saw a car out front, I bet one of these has the keys for it." A quick search over revealed the set of car keys and they went outside and got into a black ford. Asim gunned the engine and had them roaring away from the complex at break neck speed. "They didn't take her far... I can feel her, she's close."
Asim nearly crashed the car when Qalyur and a stranger suddenly appeared in the backseats. “You have got to stop doing that.” Asim growled, steering them back onto the road. He peered over his shoulder at the new comer as he introduced himself. “Well, I wouldn’t say Zero has any ‘fear’ to use against him… but I guess we could use all the help we can get.”
They drove to an enormous dark and foreboding mansion. “He brought her here.” Asim murmured, knowing full well whose place this was. Every vampire knew. This was going to be even more tricky than he originally thought. But Asim already knew how this had to play out. Shadow belonged to his son now, and it would have to be up to Qalyur to save her.
Together the four of them approached the mansion and immediately scores of male vampires dressed in sharp suits came out to intercept them. “Rachel, you and I will keep the welcoming committee busy.” He turned to Qalyur, “We should be able to keep them distracted as you teleport your way in. Find her and get her out of here.” He put a hand on Qalyur’s shoulder and looked into his eyes. “We probably won’t meet again, I just want you to know that I’m glad you and Shadow found each other. Keep her safe son.” He motioned towards the other member of their group. “Better take him with you.”

Qalyur nodded, placing his own hand on Asim's shoulder. "Thank you." With that, Qalyur turned to Izin. He groaned, accepting the inevitable. The two of them vanished in another gust of wind, appearing in an old storage closet. Qalyur drew dual sun guns, Izin readying his khopesh. Together they burst through the door, quickly killing the guards that were in front of a door directly opposite the closet. They continued on, assassinating any stray Children of the Night. Qalyur stopped, motioning for Izin to do the same. Together they listened at the finely crafted door, hearing moans and cries of protest. Qalyur opened the door quickly and quietly, finally seeing Zero on top of Shadow. "Oi, Zero!" Qalyur bellowed, making him pull out of Shadow as he tried to get to his feet. But before he could fully pull himself to his feet, Qalyur had fired. The small shard of crystalized sunlight flew through the air, propelled by a mass accelerator, and blew off Zero's favorite appendage. He screamed in agony, dropping to his knees. It was going to be an interesting fight. *** Ashley and Sylvia strode up to the car, fully recovered somehow. They smiled evily when they saw the look on Asim's face. As one, they drew their dual sais, twirling them in elaborate patterns.

Shadow wanted him to stop but she knew without a her knight in shinning armer then making him stop wouldn't happen. But suddenly as if her prayers had been answered as her loving Qalyur came busting through the door. It all happened so fast. Zero was screaming in pain and away from her.seconds went by which felt like a life time as she saw a figure walking up behind Qalyur. Shadow couldn't find her voice in time as Qalyur saw him to late. As he spun the figure waved his hand and the gun flew out of Qalyur hand as them figure grabbed him by the throat and lifted him off the ground.
He then looked at Zero then at Shadow. Never in her life had she seen what she saw in his eyes. She felt him inside her. Reliving her past and every horrifying thing Zero had done to her.
"You son of a b!tch!" Zero screamed looking over to see The Count holding Qalyur by the throat. "What are you waiting for? Kill him!"
The Count smiled at Shadow. As he lowered Qalyur to the floor. "Tend to her." He whispered to Qalyur. Then he turned to Zero and began to walk towards him.
"What are you doing?!" Zero screamed but without warning The Count placed a hand on Zeros forehead. A dark red fog lifted around him as The Count chanted a spell. Zero fell to tjem ground, out like dead. He then turned two on the bed. "Leave and never darken my door again."
Qalyur helped Shadow to her feet but she stopped and faced him. "I am curious what you will do with him."
The Count smiled softly at her which sent a chill down her spin. "He is trapped in his own nightmares and it will be very hard to escape from but on the off chance he might I will barry him in a 12 foot thick layer of concert wall."
The answer surprised both of them. "Why?"
"I looked into your soul and I like what I see. Now go before I change my mind."
And so they left to the front lawn.
........
Rachel was doing a hell of a damn good job fighting off the vampires when all of them suddenly stopped turned and disappeared in side. She smiled big as she saw Qalyur helping Shadow outside.
"What the hell happened in there?"
"The Count as he is called stopped Zero and let us go."
She looked shocked. "Just like that?"
"Just like that." Shadow then turned her attention to Asim and Zeros girls. "Did you hear that? Zero is no more!"

"Here we go again then." Asim had drawn his twin swords and been standing between the two deadly females as they had prepared to strike when suddenly they all seemed to feel it. Zero's power and essence was snuffed out like a blown-out candle. Asim kept a wary eye on Sylvia and Ashley as he turned his attention towards the front door of the counts' mansion. Qalyur was helping a wounded Shadow out of the threshold.
He fought the urge to go to the woman's side and reminded himself his fate was no longer entwined with hers. He nodded to Rachel and smiled slightly, "Looks like we finally got a break." When he turned back towards Sylvia and Ashley, he couldn't spot them, they seemed to have vanished. Without their employer in action anymore he guessed their interest in this must have waned somewhat. Until we meet again, he thought to himself and sheathed his weapons.
Asim went to Rachel. "You fought good." He motioned towards Qalyur and Shadow with his head. "Go to her." He watched Rachel head over towards her sister.

Qalyur helped Shadow across the lawn, and left her to Rachel when she came over. He strode purposefully to Asim, an unreadable expression on his face. He put out a hand, which Asim took.
"Looks like we've come a long way from wanting to kill each other." Qalyur said, smirking. "Where will you be headed next?

Asim watched Qalyur striding purposely towards him and for a moment thought his son was wanting to jump straight back into the fight they started before this whole thing began, he braced himself to receive a punch but made no move to defend himself. He was suprised when Qalyur held out his hand and smiled at him.
Asim shook his son's offered hand and mirriored the smirk with one of his own. "Well, I've certainly had my fill of Red Blood for a while. Time to move on I think." He answered. Asim's expression became more serious as he nodded in Faint Shadow's direction, "She's pregnant. I can sense it. I'm sure I don't need to tell you to protect her. Your own birth was something of a miracle, as if the fates had decreed it. Maybe your reason for existing is to bring this child into the world."
He sighed and stood back, folding his arms across his chest. He felt sorry for the burden suddenly upon his son and former lover, but it was a burden he would not, and could not, help with. "You will be hunted, by forces of good and evil. As long as that 'miracle' child lives, there will be those who want to capture it for themselves and find out what it is exactly. If I ever hear anything about your child I will find a means of letting you know."
Rachel and Faint Shadow were making their way over and Asim decided it was time for him to go. "Look after yourselves, son." He said then smiled despite all the gloom and doom he had just predicted and slapped Qalyur on the back. "Congratulations by the way."
Asim headed off into the night, not wanting to have to stand infront of Faint Shadow and go through some awkward silence as he tried to pretend to be happy for her. Though he knew he should be, what did he want for her? To live alone as a spinster? She deserved a lover and Qalyur could protect her. He measured up to the job. As for Rachel, he didn't know how he felt about her exactly, but with their connection he knew she could find him easily if she chose to. It would almost be a test of her vampiric abilities to seek him out.
