A Vampire's Fury

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

After waiting for almost an hour in something I usually would not have been wearing I gave up on the idea that Doc would actually arrive for whatever it was he was planning. Oh he was going to pay. Dearly.

There was no answer at his door so the last place was Mal. The thirst for causing pain was beginning to rise in me but Mal would not be a suitable victim for the kind of pain I itched to cause but oh boy was Doc going to get it.

With more force than necessary I slammed the door open to the library fuming as before Mal could react I pinned him against one of the bookshelves, his feet several inches off the ground.

"Now where is Doc?" Each word came out almost painfully slowly. "And he better be dead or dying. Better yet no, I want to kill him myself."

[Mal ;; The Walking Google]

"I'm afraid I... Haven't sen him," Mal choked out. "I was under the impression he was with you tonight. I presume something... untoward happened?"

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"And what gave it away? I would hope the fact that I'm here asking you."

[Mal ;; The Walking Google]

"Considering he was... looking forward to tonight i rather doubt he would have pulled out of his own free will," he said logically. "If you'll kindly let him go, I'm sure i can locate him for you."

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

Watching Mal for a moment with a skeptical look she went ahead and let him go.

[Mal ;; The Walking Google]

"Thank you," he said, rubbing his neck. "You know, there was no need to be violent, all you had to do was ask," he closed his eyes, going into the look up. Moments later, his eyes snapped open. "Oh dear. I do believe I've found a target for venting your frustrations."

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"Oh?" I ignored the comment about violence, violence was fun and at times needed. Of course it was a bit over board but it wasn't enough to hurt him... just cause extreme discomfort. Should probably apologize but that just wasn't in my nature when I was pissed off.

[Mal ;; The Walking Google]

"It seem Doc finally pissed off the wrong people," Mal said. "An offshoot of the Old Council looking to retrieve some old books Doc... aqcuired from them some times ago, and remnants of Raven's gang. I can give you the address, but i may suggest taking some back up."

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"Not necessary. Besides, who am I going to ask for help? I'm sure Doc doesn't want Maya anywhere near the old council let alone Raven wannabes." My right hand flexed at Raven's name. "How many are there?"

[Mal ;; The Walking Google]

"5 Old Council, 3 of Raven's, plus some 30 mercenaries," Mal said. "I could call Dana to give you a hand if you'd like. Or you could go to you Council contact."

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"Yes, cause a pencil pushing were-tiger well do a load of good against trained fighters. I'll just use your slayer friend then."

[Mal ;; The Walking Google]

"I'll give her a call then," Mal said, moving for the phone. "Don't move. I'll be back."

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

Crossing my arms I waited for Mal to call his slayer friend. Not that she'd be much help, with how pissed I was I was sure I could take them but even so, a part of me knew I'd be open to mistakes because of that same fury.

[Mal ;; The Walking Google]

Mal had moved back to the phone quickly, dialing Dana's number. He had a feeling he wouldn't have much time before Rogue decided to just go by herself anyway.

Sighing with impatience I took a seat, savoring the few moments I would get to rest before diving head first and once again... saving Docs annoying ass.
