Turning The Tides

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

She even had her bag in the building nearby full of everything she was going to need after this event was over, the spell set up so when she activated it the two of them would be pulled to it, safely away from Raven and everyone there who would try and kill them. The only person she’d need to worry about would be Doc, the very person this was meant to protect. No doubt he’d try and stake her for this.

Unfortunately there was no other option she could come up with. Raven was too paranoid to let anyone close to him but bringing in someone he was trying to recollect was going to get her close enough and even though she was confident that she could be able to kill him once Doc took out the necromancer she wanted a backup plan just in case he got away. And that’s where the wire tap would come in handy. If he managed to get through her grasp than she could put him out of business permanently.

The information Matt had given her on the location of the last remaining watcher who picked up Maya would help her regain favor with Doc, even if he wouldn’t trust her again. Everything would be worth it in the end; at least she kept telling herself that. Doc had already had time with his sister taken from him and she didn’t want him to run away from that. Although most of the reason she was doing this was purely selfish. She didn’t want him to run at all and if she had to make him believe she was betraying him than so be it.

While Doc was away from his apartment she made sure to hide away all his weapons he kept hidden in case she ever turned on him. Last thing she needed was for him to get an advantage over her and stake her, than he’d still run. That and she wasn’t keen on dying yet.

His scent was over powering her lingering scent in the apartment and before she hadn’t thought much of this place, and she herself was curious to see if he’d slip in her room and stake her in her sleep, even wondered it when she shared her crypt with him. But he never came.

Part of her grinned though as she stood in plain view of the front door, wearing only a shirt of his. They’d been dancing around each other for weeks before the Raven thing, possibly months; she was going to have to use that to her advantage. Raven wouldn’t believe an act, it had to be real. She needed Doc to hate her and it only seemed obvious to use their interest to play on his emotions.

Now all that was left was to wait for him to return home from where ever he was…

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Rogue, I'm..." Doc's jaw dropped as he saw what Rogue was wearing. And not wearing. "Uh... Am I interrupting... something...?" he asked lowly, taking the view in. Rogue. In one of his shirt. Holy crap. "Because I can go back out and do... um... something if you want to be left alone..." Okay, brain, think...think...

The body part you are trying to contact is currently out of order. Please try again later.

"Um... good day?"

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

Had she been alive when he began to open the door her heart would have been pounding relentlessly against her chest that she would have been afraid of him hearing it but thankfully she wasn’t alive. Her goal though was more important than anything else. Saving him from Raven’s clutches was the most important thing, even if she didn’t want to put him through this she had to. He wouldn’t be able to move on if he had no part in taking Raven’s control away; he was too badly damaged after everything with Raven to be able to simply walk away from that life without repercussions. Plus being able to bring Doc the last remaining watcher was a plus she kept focus on.

"Rogue, I'm... Uh... Am I interrupting... something…? Because I can go back out and do... um... something if you want to be left alone

Okay, she’ll admit she found it funny that he so easily turned into a blubbering mess. Though it made it a bit harder for what she had to do next.

"Um... good day?"

“It was… Productive.” She chose the word carefully. “Had to use the washer before the blood set in.” Actually it was a random sheet she had thrown in there to provide the extra noise. “He didn’t want to go down very easily, kinda made a bit of a mess and since I had no other clean clothes I figured you wouldn’t mind. And you may want to close the door, I don’t need the world to see me in only a shirt.” She raised an eyebrow at him calmly.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Right, door," he said, closing the door behind him. "And I don't mind, just... warn me next time," cold shower needed. "I thought, uh.,.. well, let's just say I thought things I shouldn't and leave it at that," bad, BAD thoughts that he shouldn't be thinking about his vampire roommate. Not that this was the first time. Or the worst. that dream the other night... no, definately NOT going there. Even if she didn't look good in that black lace...

...Dammit...

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

She blinked looking at him. "So you'd rather I stood here in bloody clothes instead?"

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"No, no, definately not!" he said quickly (maybe a little too quickly). "You just kind of startled me. I though I was going to have to start looking for a lust demon next," he gave her a sideways smirk. "You seem to attract those types."

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"I didn't mean to startle you," she said, moving away from the couch and towards Doc. "And no lust demon, promise." Flashing him a grin she stopped about a foot away. "I'm just normal old me. Seems funny that some one as old and powerful as me gets enthralled under spells often enough." Oh how ironic that statement was for the situation Doc was in.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"Yeah, you might want to have someone check that out," so having a cold shower after this. "Like you have a big target on you. Guess I can relate," he gave a nervous chuckle.

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"Does seem a fair few people have it out for you," she gave a bit of a thoughtful face before touching his cheek lightly, softening her face. "Maybe you should have someone check that out for you as well."

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

His face soften, his hand moving on it's own accord around her waist. "Wasn't that your job?" he teased as they inched closer. He shouldn't be doing this. It would never work, th two of them.

But at the moment, he really didn't care. She just looked too damn good in his shirt.

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"Silly me, I suppose I am taking care of that for you," she chuckled lightly, watching his eyes tracing a light finger down his neck, this time the goal wasn't taking advantage of his gender weaknesses but to pull on his emotions, so each touch was soft and feathery. "We've been dancing around each other for a while now..." Leaning into him a bit she placed a light kiss on his lips before pulling her face away from his.

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

"We have," he whispered. "And for some reason, right now..." his grip onb her wiast tightened as he pulled her closer "Right now, I'm really not caring to dance around the issue right now."

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"Issue huh?" she pushed him slowly towards to wall, not that he was very far from the door to begin with, running her hands slowly up his chest giving him another kiss before her hands tightened around his neck, slamming his body against the wall, pulling away from him she let her eyes go cold, staring straight at him.

'I hope you'll forgive me...'

[Jackson ''Doc'' Ellison]

Going from hot passion to being choked suddenly was a shock to the system. He brought his hands to her wrists, pumping mana to his muscles as he tried to pry them apart. no luck. He really, really hoped this was Raven controlling her but somehow...

And through all of this, Coal's advice on not trusting Rogue came to mind. Looks like she was right after all.

["Rogue" Annie Amina Cross]

"Don't fight it lover, think about the odds of getting out of this," she grinned evilly before continuing. "Cause I already removed the cross from that drawer next to you, the holy water from the fridge, the stake from the couch, and several of the other little tricks you left around. At this point it's easier to just give in to that feeling of darkness approaching at the corner of your eye and that light headedness through your brain. The sooner you give in the better. Unless you want to make this fun? But that wouldn't be fair, you still wouldn't last long."
