WAR!

[badassbruno]

I've been on this earth for over six hundred and twenty four years. Of those I have spent the last hundred in Italy. Moving from town to town every few years I've come to love this country. Speaking the language fluently and understanding their ways has made me comfortable in calling it home.

I watch Bruno play with his knife as I munch on the pile of donuts in the middle of the table. I have eaten at least a dozen so far but my stomach feels empty. I get much more satisfaction from my energy bars but I may need them for tonight's task so they stay in my pockets for now

[j4cey_e]

Anderson addresses me as Bruno is too busy being macho with his knife and Rob is too busy eating donuts. His instructions are to bring back Paul alive. Intelligence suggests that Gaspard cannot be far away so we have to move quickly.

I remember that particular menace from the last war. Ruthless evil bastard. We already know that at least two of his guard survived and from that I am going to presume the rest of them did as well. I have had experience with them which is why I gather I have been brought in on this particular task. Either that or they just love to torture me with Rob's presence.

I sense that there is something we are not being told about this Paul. I can see why we would need to bring him back alive but something in Anderson's manner tells me there is more to it than simple intelligence gathering.

[badassbruno]

I stand and place my knife back in it's holster, it's strap across my broad bare chest. I'll wear a jacket, but I'm not completely covering up this masterpiece.

Rob is busy eating crap, might as well be eating bags of sugar while Anderson speaks to Jacey in an obvious attempt to make him feel relevant in this operation. He has decent skills, but I imagine his best skill would be on his knees in front of me with those luscious lips around my cock.

Looking over at Rob I roll my eyes, "Come on Sugar, you and your wonder twin follow me."

[r0b_m]

I stuff in a last mouthful of donut and give him the finger then am gone in a flash. Next thing I am standing in front of a run down house, if you could call it that, with Jacey and Bruno next to me. It's dark and everything is quiet. You wouldn't think anyone had been here except for the freshly splintered wood of the front door.

Jacey motions that he will stay on watch and flies up to the roof. I look at Bruno and motion to the house. "You waiting for the red carpet?" Then in another flash I am inside the front door.

[badassbruno]

I smirk at the kid and run to meet him inside. I start to say something about how fast he is when a soft voice from across the room beckons us.

"Rip out my heart please. And do not forget to burn it. I do not wish to be here anymore."

We turn and see Paul. His head hung and tears fall like diamonds from his cheeks. I look back at Rob with my eyebrows raised.

[r0b_m]

I raise an eyebrow back at Bruno then squat down so I am more at eye level with Paul and look him over. This is what all the fuss is about. A crying and suicidal vampire. He is pretty I will give him that but I don't see anything special about him.

I stand back up and bring out my wings ready for any trouble. "Sorry no can do. We've got orders to take you in alive. You gonna come easy?"

[badassbruno]

Rolling my eyes at Rob I shake my head. Kid doesn't know shit.

Paul raises his head and I can see how beautiful he is. The pain evident in his eyes, but so is the defiance. Slowly I bring out my wins but keep them folded.

Taking a step closer to him I hold out my hand, "We do not wish to destroy you Paul. We are here to help you. Your life seems without hope to you right now, but we can show you a better life."

His eyes soften for a moment but in a flash Rob and I are thrown back against the wall and Paul stands before us in full form. He is an angel, but the vampire inside him is obvious.

His fangs sharp and his hiss loud. "If you will not destroy me willingly, then you will fight me!"

Pushing off the wall I rush towards him, my wings outstretched but he raises a hand and I am pressed against the ceiling looking down at him.

[r0b_m]

Okay. This is something we weren't told. Paul is an Angel vamp?! Is that even possible. And he is going to force us to kill him. Death by Angel. Just great. I am sure I didn't sign up for this. I watch with a little bit of fascination as he quite easily manages to hold Bruno.

He is distracted by that though and I use it to my advantage. In a flash I full on tackle him knocking him to the ground and decide to give him a taste of what it will be like to die my way to hopefully change his mind about this whole death thing he has going on. As we fall to the floor and my arms go around him I flame up bright orange. Enough to burn flesh.

[innocentpaul]

There are flames all around me but I don't even feel the heat much less the burn. Closing my eyes I feel a rush of cold air emanating from around me. Enough to put out the flames and blow the angel away from me.

The other angel I sense is behind me. I disappear in a flash and reappear across the room from them, "Is this the best the order has to send for me!?"

[r0b_m]

I glance over to Bruno and I am sure he is thinking along the same lines as me. These are not normal Angel powers. Well by themselves they are normal but to be able to fend off our different attacks so easily is way above normal. As in Devon, Dan and Elijah type of above normal. My fire didn't even singe a hair on him!

"You are so eager to die then why fight us so hard. Put down you defenses and I will quite happily fry your ass for you."

[innocentpaul]

"Frying my ass will not kill me boy! I told you to rip out my heart and bur...."

I cry out as the other angel wraps his arms and wings around me. He is strong and I struggle to get away. Light illuminates around me and I hear him cry out in pain, but he does not let go.

Finally I am able to pull away from him but I feel weak. "Do not take me alive, I have nothing to give the order."

[r0b_m]

"Sorry to interrupt your pity party but by the looks of it you have plenty they..." I am stopped by two quite loud thumps up on the roof followed almost immediately by a bright flash in the room and Jacey is standing there.

We got company. We gotta get him out of here quick.Then there is a loud crash and the room erupts with shattered glass. I turn and throw blue flame in that direction knowing whoever it is that has come through the window is not a friend. I hear an angry screech of pain right before I am hit with such force it knocks me back through the wall into the room behind

[badassbruno]

Shit!

Paul screams out no obviously not wanting this group to take him either. I move behind him and wrap myself around him and whisper in his ear, "It's them or us. Don't fight me and we're out of here."

But before I can even close my eyes to get us out I feel a sharp sting down my wing. It's not cut, but I felt it. But it is my wings being pulled apart and my body thrown back that separates me from Paul.

I see a flash of movement out of the corner of my eye and I reach out for it.

[j4ck_b]

I see his arm fly out toward me but I move quick. I climb the wall kicking off to do a flip so I am back in front of him. I deliver the flat of my foot to his sternum hard and he is sent flying, knocked back into the wall through the hole Gaspard made with the other one I dispatched.

I land crouched at the hole, ready.

[badassbruno]

What the fuck!?

I jump back through the hole only to be hit again then he's gone - again! I see Jacey fighting to get Paul when I feel a slice across my cheek and the blur of movement.

I growl and quickly unfold my wings feeling them trap someone. Bringing them to my chest I wrap my arms around him holding his arms against his body as squeeze tight. His back pressed hard to my chest.

"Fast little imp aint ya? Is that your only trick?"

[j4ck_b]

I am impressed. He managed to get a hold of me. He is quite strong and could easily crush me. But he wastes time with words. In a flash I surf and disappear from his grip then reappear on the opposite side of the room.

I run up the wall pulling my Tanto and throw it aiming for his heart.
