(LA Night)Hell to Pay

[grace]

(((Thanks to Jessy who thought of the name. This is after 'On the Beat'. Maya, Jessy and Pepper would have just left to find Grace)))

I looked around the small room, and at some of my vampires that had escaped the attack. There were a few of them, but I had picked up a few more after i had left the scene. We needed more vampires on our side, I knew they would be back.

"What are you going to do to us?"

I growled, my concentration broken, and I stared back at the people I had managed to kidnap. Two of them were humans, the other two were the worst kind imaginable...half demons.

"I don't like the taste of demon, even if there is some human in there." I said to black haired girl, crouching down to look her in the eye.

"Well then kill us." The half-demon boy said.

I smirked at him. "Oh i will. These guys," I jerked my head back to vampires behind me, "Aren't too fussy with what they eat. But, you, and the other half demon, I think i may keep for a little fun."

"Then let the other two go." The black haired girl said, and I turned my attention onto the mother and child, that cowered as i looked at them. The child, no more that five, was crying.

"Aw, baby." I said soothingly, kneeling in front of the kid. "Don't cry." I said, taking him roughly from his mother's arms. The mother screamed, and lunged at me, but my vampires kept her back, and also kept back the half-demons. "It'll be over soon." I whispered in the kid's ear. "If you promise not to scream." I changed into my vampire face, and even though I had asked him not to, he screamed. I sank my teeth into the child's neck, drinking until his body felt limp in my arms. I threw the dead child back at the mother, and licked my lips, ignoring her tears. "I hate it when they scream."

[Maya]

As we marched along the street, a sudden, sharp pain hit me- it felt like a steel bar to the head. I yelled out, stumbling.
"Maya!" Jessy cried.
I didn't know how i knew, but suddenly i was running. I knew where Grace was, and i knew this situation had just gotten a whole lot worse.
"No." I murmured to myself, "Oh goddess please no..."

[killian]

I watched, horrified as the blonde vampire drained the kid dry, then threw his body to the mother, who bent over him, crying.

"Oh god." I heard Rachelle whisper, and I took her hand in what i hoped was a comforting gesture.

We had been walking in a park, talking as friends did, when a bunch of vampires had tried to grab the mother and child, as the kid played on the swings. We had run to help, but we were no match for them and they knocked us out and we woke up later, in this room.

"It's alright." I whispered. "We're getting out alive."

And that was when the images hit me.

A short blonde girl...this room...'Chelle...Maya...Jessy...vampires fighting...the blonde vampire's fangs sinking into Rachelle...her dead body on the ground...

I gasped as the images stopped, and found that Rachelle was looking at me, waiting for me to tell her what i had just saw. I did not say anything, just tightened my grip on her hand, and that was all she needed. She knew.

[Maya]

Of course i had my suspicions about what it was that was augmenting my telepathy recently, but when Killians vision hit me, i forced myself to keep running, refused to let the pain take me down.
"No!" I cried in anguish, "Goddess protect them, please!"

[grace]

I looked back at the guy with interest, and rolled my eyes as I saw his hand entwined with the girls. "You." I said, and the pair looked at me. "You, what's your name?" I demanded, pointing to the guy.

"Killian."

I nodded and beckoned for him to come closer. He stood up slowly, and i beckoned impatiently again, and he came closer.

"What did you see?"

"What?"

I rolled my eyes at his ignorance. "The vision dumbass. What did you see."

"You dying." He said defiantly. I smirked, amused by the man.

"Really?" He nodded, adamantly. "Are you sure it wasn't her?"

"It wasn't."

"Well, I guess those visions aren't working too well are they? 'Cos that ain't the future."

[Maya]

The others ran behind me as i swerved round a corner and burst into a warehouse. I could somehow see the events unfolding before i got there,i could see my time running out as i ran faster than ever before.
"Come here, girl." Grace said.
"No!" Killian snapped, "Leave her alo..." But Grace backhanded him across the face, sending him painfully to the floor. That got Rachelle up.
"Dont you touch him!" She yelled, leaping towards the blonde vampire, who just smirked,
"Aw, such fierce emotion- should taste good."
"I'll kill you if you touch him again!" Rachelle warned. Grace laughed heartily,
"Sweety, i really am sorry, but that wont be possible." Before Rachelle could move, Grace's fist was about her throat.
"NO!" Killian cried, but strong hands held him back. Grace smiled as Rachelle gasped for breath, and the vampire tilted the girl's head back, and sunk her teeth in.
"NO!" I also yelled as i burst into the room, just in time to see Grace partially drop Rachelle, so that she was holding one wrist, the half-demon's limp body hanging hopelessly... was i dreaming, or was Rachelle still- only just- but alive?
"Slayer." Grace cooed, "How nice of you to join us."
In my rage, i didn't notice the cut on Grace's chest. As she hefted Rachelle back up, i didn't realise. She threw my friend's body to the side, and said, "So- you next then?"

[grace]

"So, another friend of yours is dead." I said, licking my lips, tasting the last of her blood. I changed back to my human face, and smirked at the angry girl in front of me. "Two of your friends are dead 'cos of me, and I've only been here for a couple of days. That's quite an accomplishment, don't you think? I wonder how long its gonna take to kill another one of your friends."

[Maya]

"You are not gonna lay another hand on any of them." I growled. How could this happen now? I knew my eyes were turning black with rage, my hair turning red.
"Hold on to him, boys." Grace said carelessly to the vamps holding Killian.
"Really dont." I snapped, raising one hand and dusting them all.
"Ooh, temper temper." Grace cooed happily.

[killian]

As soon as the vampires holding me dusted, I leapt towards Rachelle's body that lay limp on the ground.

"Please don't be dead." I whispered to myself, even though logic told me something different. Her eyes were open, staring straight at me, through me. Her lips were parted in pain, and i took her cold hand. And then I noticed it. Blood. Next to her lips. "No." I whispered. "Shit, not 'Chelle."

[Maya]

I glanced over at Rachelle, hearing Killians words and understanding their meaning. I smirked at Grace,
"Mistake, sweety." I told her, "That's not gonna do you any good at all."
"Your friend will soon be one of us." Grace said. I smiled as i heard the other catch up,
"You've met Rory, right?"

[grace]

I looked behind her, and saw them, Jessy, Rory and a girl a did not know. I smiled to myself, and looked back at the slayer.

"So what? The kid's got a soul now? You worked that magic on him, did you blondie? Well, you ain't getting the demons, alright? They're mine...and you're just gonna have to live with your friends hunting you down and killing you."

[Jessy Jackson]

How I hated her. A soft growl escaped me. The bitch heard it. "Oh my! Here kitty, kitty." Don't rise to the bait, don't rise too the bait. Pepper squeezed my hand and I smiled.
