Snippet #2463658

Andrei

Looking out the window Andrei sighed, he was no fool to believe that Dawnwalker wouldn't know he had been there, they worked together long enough she would know his scent. Sighing he looked at his third glass of Jin and smiled absentmindedly, thinking back to the days when things hadn't been so bad. Back when he still had his team and they could do everything and anything. Sighing he snapped out of it knowing that going back was an impossibility, nothing could change the fact he had gotten Kateri's brother killed because of his own stupidity. Sinking into a chair Andrei turned on the TV but noticed none of his Channels were working. Flipping through a few different channels he wandered just what the hell was going on and then he looked to his window and noticed a strange shadow.

Walking outside Andrei looked to his roof and saw a body hanging from the Dish for his reception, he groaned and jumped up to his roof inspecting the body, it was human at least however that wasn't settling. Inspecting the body he noticed two discreet Bite marks on the females Neck and he knew it was a warning to him, to stay away from the Case, that another vampire was watching. Taking the body down he knew what he needed to do, even though it wasn't something he WANTED to do. Dropping off the roof and landing lightly he carried the dry body to his car and tossed it in the back seat. Getting in he started up the car and started driving to the outskirts of town, messages like this weren't typically reserved for one Vampire alone when they was a coven near by. After about a half an hours worth of driving he pulled into a very fancy gated community and buzzed the box at the gate.

"Hello welcome to Salem Resort, how can we be of service to you this evening?" A voice said and Andrei smiled softly.

"Only the darkest of figures can slip through the night unnoticed by the eyes of those closest to them" He said aloud and the box was silent as the gates opened and he drove onto Coven land. That was their way of identifying if the coven was still safe, or if it was just a random Person coming to the resort. The Mistress of the Coven had founded Salem, keeping old traditions alive she named the town after the Salem witch trials. However just because they were human killing blood sucking monster's didn't mean that they all lived like that. In fact most peoples ideas of Vampires were wrong. They didn't go around just killing to kill or make more of them selves. Since they turn of the Melania things had become more business like.

Now people willingly signed to be a Vampires personal blood bank, someone they trusted or someone they had assisted and needed a place to Call home. Andrei had done that many a time and was always fair to those he owned. So this whole Vampires went out and killed at random was nothing more than Myth now. However some still clung to the old ways but The Salem coven was all business. Andrei pulled off the paved roads to a road that you really needed to be looking for to find and drove to the Mansion of the Coven. Once he was in front of the Coven Andrei got out of the car greeting one of the doormen with a smile and a wave as they came to assist him.

"Mr. Adair how nice to see you again" A tall brown haired man said.

"Yes yes unfortunately I do not come on good terms, we're being watched, or at least I am what with these murders and all I couldn't help but inspect the scene and I found this when I got home" He said as he motioned to the back of his car and the human doorman couldn't help but puke.

"I'm sorry He is fairly new to our coven Sir, I'll take care of him later" The brown haired man said.

"Fret not, it's understandable, I was much like him when I was first brought on before I had been turned. Please help me get this inside, I would like to not waste more time then need be" Andrei said softly opening the door to the back of his car. Shortly after the little scene in front of the Coven Andrei was sitting in a room with plush seating and drawn drapes looking at the sleeping figure in an old style four poster bed.

"It's so Early in the morning, Why have you come Andrei you rarely ever visit anyway" A matured Female voice cooed from under the covers as the figure rolled over.

"I understand my absences displeases you mother, but I have something I believe you should witness with your own eyes. A warning, and not a very subtle one at that" Andrei said softly as he laced his fingers together resting his chin on the backs of hid hands.

Brandon

On the drive home Beth was silent and so was he, Brandon was still pondering how that female officer had calmed him so quickly. As far as he knew, the only pack lands were a few miles out of town ,so why would there be an Omega here in town working as a Cop if most lycan's lived on the Reserves. Granted Brandon wasn't one to talk, he was a should be Alpha working as A surgeon at Salem Hospital who hadn't shifted in close to 3 years but still. Once he was home Brandon parked the car and got out without even saying so much as a word to Bethany, and she knew that she was to say nothing back.

Watching at the Officer pulled into his driveway Brandon gave her another good once over, For an omega she was good looking but that wasn't the issue right now.

"Officer Dawnwalker was it? Dr. Summers, I thank you for finding her but I could have handled it on my own. If you're expecting anything more than that then you can forget it. Just do you damn job and find out who murdered Lizzy, I'll handle the rest from there" He said in a low growling tone and then felt that power wash over him again and he grunted like he had just been punched in the gut.

"Oi, I can take you in now if you like, lock you up for the night. Don't be making threats of murder to me Summers. I know you want them dead, we're doing everything we can to track these guys down but they are a slippery bunch ok? Any information you could give us would be helpful though" She said and Brandon scoffed as his eyes flickered yellow.

"You honestly think I would be wasting my time with cops if I had the slightest clue who did this? Hell no, I would be on the trail myself hunting those blood sucking assholes down myself and rip their damn throats out!" Brandon said and Kateri moved in closer.

"When was the last time you Shifted Dr. Summers?" She asked

"What does that have to do with who murdered Lizzy!?" Brandon exclaimed tossing his hands into the air.

"It doesn't but you are definitely not in control, it feels like you've been putting off the change. Where is your pack, your Alpha, as a matter of fact...why haven't I seen you on our lands?" She asked.

"Maybe thats because I don't need to be surrounded by a bunch of wild animals. I have my Tiger under control, I keep him caged and I've been doing just fine for the past three years now, no change, no hunt, no nothing alright? Stay out of my personal life and do you're job and maybe you'd have a better time at catching the people who killed my sister!" Brandon fumed as he turned to walk into the house and slammed the door so hard the house shook. Walking into the kitchen Brandon opened the deep freezer and found the Serum he had created to regress the Lycan traits. Loading a vile into the gun he injected himself with the serum and felt his teeth go back to normal and his hair shorten. He had been so close to shifting and it would have destroyed 3 years worth of work.

Sighing Brandon fixed himself a coup of coffee and walked into the living room turning on the evening news and started listening for any small noise that might mean Bethany had sneaked out once again.
