Fantasy Escape

[Officer Newt]

The blood in the air had a certain... Temptation to it. Perhaps had they not been busy Lucy would have attempted to feed off the pup. But for now, She simply kept a firm grip on Robin's collar to keep the other from running. Not that she was too worried. Robin would not be able to get far what with being trapped in his human form. He must have realized that because he didn't resist too much. Or maybe he was too panicked to make a attempt. Shifting and struggling to regain his breath. Especially as he felt the vampires eyes on him. He hated that look they were giving him. Whimpering as Lucy pulled him along. On the trail to his home. He couldn't help but widen his eyes as the cabin began to come into view.

The other wolves had yet to notice Robin was missing. With Hawk finishing putting the last of the families bags into the car. While Sam was strapping the baby to her car seat. But then things changed. Crow had just stepped outside. Searching for her little brother as to alert him that it was time to go. The girl frowned as she sniffed the air. No luck, Then she spotted three figures at the edge of the treeline. Instantly dread formed in her stomach. "Hawk. " She suddenly said. Causing the man to glance up. Frowning, He followed her gaze. The scent of blood hit him before he saw them and well... Anger and worry pulsed threw him.

Taking a step forward. Crow lifted her hand. Growling. "No, Hawk. Get in the car and go. " Looking upon these vampires. Recognition showed on her face. She had never seen these specific vampires in person. But she knew of there reputation. They'd likely take pleasure in killing the pack. If they gave them what they wanted, They'd probable kill them anyway. Hawk might have been the eldest alpha of the pack. But he had a daughter to look after. So, Crow was taking charge.
It was clear Hawk wanted to argue. Taking a step closer towards Crow. But another growl came from Crow as she said. "Hawk, I said go. I'll deal with this. " Finally. Hawk seemed to back down. Nodding slowly. Hawk urged the girls to the car. Atleast the pack seemed to decide to stand up and protect the nymph and fairy.

Crow then was stepping off of the porch. Beginning to approach the vampires. And as she neared, Lucy could already tell this wolf was atleast a bit more intelligent then Robin. Her head was held high but there was caution in her steps. She knew what they were capable of. Stopping a fair distance away from them. Crow then said. "My pack doesn't want any trouble. " That caused a small laugh to come from Lucy. Who then said. "Perhaps you should have said that to your little friend here? He seemed ready to fight. " She told, Tugging Robin forward and rather suddenly forcing the young man onto his knees. Another whimper came from him. But Crow only briefly looked to him before saying. "He is practically still a cub. It looks like you've taught him his lesson. He won't bother you again. "

 

[British. Intelligence.]

Well, it didn’t seem like this pup had much of a family, just another couple of werewolves and ooh, was that a human? Johann almost licked his lips. They really wouldn’t be much trouble but it’d certainly get the blood pumping a little, just enough excitement to start out their day right. And there were the girls. Mari watched in horror as the vampires approached and she didn’t want Crow to be left behind but she didn’t want to go back herself either so she was listening to Hawk and climbing into the car. Oh, they were going to get them all killed!

Johann was watching the car as they piled in but he let his gaze drift over to Crow as she was trying to make peace. He smiled maliciously “oh I’m sure he won’t” Johann agreed. “but, you have some things that belong to us” Things, not people, just objects. “Give them back and maybe we’ll let the boy go” Johann offered although clearly he wasn’t set on releasing Robin. If they didn’t get given what they’d came here for, then they were just going to have to take them, and that would be a bloody route if Johann got his way.

”you and your pack are of a little consequence to us. Live, die, we don’t care, but we will be taking what’s ours” Johann warned. If they had to kill all of them to get to them then they would. Although, would Lucy falter at the sight of the baby? At ripping apart a family. She was far more sentimental than Johann and to be honest, even Johann might pause briefly at the sight of a child. It’s not like he wouldn’t kill one, if the situation called for it, but it was hardly a challenge, there was no fight in it, killing a baby for no reason was rather cowardly but in the same sense they couldn’t just leave it to die. Maybe they’d let the mother live. Oh, how nice of them.

 

[Officer Newt]

Crow frowned as she watched Johann. Maybe he'd give their brother back? From the twins reputation Crow wasn't convinced they'd do such. They really wanted those girls, Perhaps Crow might have given them to them. But she could hear the car starting. Her family was leaving. Good, She didn't want them here. But that ment she was on her own with nothing to give. Lucy watched curiously before musing. "Looks like your little pack is leaving you behind. "She teased. But she imagined Crow knew where they were going. She could still lead Johann and Lucy right to the girls. But Crow simply tilted her head. Musing. "Indeed. As they should. "

Crow did not plan to fully commit to a fight. But if she could just distract... Then her brother and her could flee into the woods. The vampires might be faster, But Crow was confident they could escape. They knew this forest. Of course, Crow was unaware of the effects of the collar. Perhaps had she been aware she would have been more hesitant.
Stepping slowly forward. Lucy watched in amusement as Crow's form began to change. Soon a dark brown wolf stood in front of them. Grey eyes locked on them. But Lucy could tell in her posture that this dog likely had more experience then her brother. Head low. Then she was moving forward. Teeth bared.

Lucy was all ready to dodge. But this dog was smart and could feint her movement. It didn't help that Lucy's sight in one of her eyes had yet to recover. Thus the wolf moved past her, Twirling around so that she was behind Lucy. Grasping her ankle and yanking. It was enough to pull Lucy to he ground. Laid on her belly. Lucy growled and was ready to roll over. But Crow was faster. Leaping onto Lucy's back. Teeth sinking into the back of her neck. It was a good think vampires were tough!
Robin was frozen as he watched this. He should have run. But his first instinct was to reach up and grasp his collar. Try and yank it off. Whimpers coming from him. But these collars were built to contain creatures far stronger then him.

Crow was smart though. She knew if these vampires could grab her, Then her hope was lost. They'd kill her in seconds. So she could not afford to stay on Lucy for long. Johann was still here after all. So Lucy probable escaped a worse wound. Crow didn't linger. Hoping off the other girl. Before attempting to do the same with Johann. Get close, Bite wherever she could then leap away. But weather such worked or not. Crow soon caught out of the corner of her eyes Robin. Fiddling with his collar. A angry snarl came from her. A warning to run. And for a brief moment her eyes were no longer on the deadly vampires. A very bad mistake.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

So it was showdown she wanted? Then it was a showdown she’d get. Crow wasted no time and was soon attacking Lucy who went down easier than she should have. Johann would need to have words with her about that later, she was becoming a liability and it was better she heard it from him than from Eve. Johann watched the blood fly but he didn’t step in just yet, he knew Crow wouldn't eviscerate his sister, no because she’d come for him in order to give Robin time which he was not using very well at all.

Crow was quick, he’d give her that, he tried to kick her away and slash his knife at her but she managed to get a few bites in. The problem with wolves was that they were lower down than most over creatures they fought, they weren’t tiny but it wasn’t as easy as punching a human in the face. Crow‘s weakness got the better of her though and she was looking towards her brother. Johann jumped on the chance and lunged towards her, trying to wrap his arms Around her head and neck to get her in a choke hold. She didn’t have hands to it might be hard for her to scramble away but she could always shift although she could always try to bite Johann as a wolf but his grip was probably rather tight.

He’d be more than happy to kill this wolf, but they needed to know where the others were going first and if they threatened her brother she might tell them, or vice versa. If one was dead then they had little leverage and that meant they’d have to resort to torture which was fine by him but far more time consuming. Besides, the boy was younger, he might not know such information. No, it was much better to get it out of this wolf and then punish her for her audacity.

 

[Officer Newt]

Lucy could practically feel her brothers judgement. That hurt far more then the injuries inflicted on her. Already the wounds that had been inflicted on her was beginning to heal. In a hour they'd be gone, Maybe only a little bit sore. But she couldn't keep failing. It would only lead to bad things. Glancing towards Johann. Lucy felt a bit of relief at the sight of injuries on him. Perhaps that was horrible to say, But it ment that Crow was skilled. Few were capable of doing that to her brother. But Crow had her weaknesses. For her, That was her brother. Her eyes were going to him and Johann wasted no time in grabbing her.

It made her stomach twist for it was a bit familiar. Robin was obviously not as capable as his older sister. But he was her weakness. Perhaps it was Lucy's own woes that brought such thoughts. But for a moment she feared she was Johann's weakness. That she was the weaker sibling. Sure, Lucy was better with people then her brother. Could more easily trick others. But it was hard not to compare herself.

Lucy could not wallow in her own thoughts for long. Robin was moving towards Johann. Perhaps hoping to help Crow, Who was snapping her jaws angrily. Attempting to scratch at Johann. She likely knew she had lost but was just trying to cause as much damage as possible.
Lucy doubted Robin posed much of a threat. But she still stood up. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts. Then, She was moving forward and grabbing the boy by the shoulder. Wasting little time before shoving him to the ground. Robin seemed rather shaken. Eyes wide, He was trembling and Lucy decided he was not much of a threat. He could hardly escape from the twins.
Looking back to Johann. By now the wolf had finally stopped struggling. Her body having gone limp. Lucy imagined the canine would be out for a while after that. But she still retrieved the second of the collars. Walking forward and passing the item to Johann.

Robin was still shaking. But managed to find his voice. Whimpering. "Please, Don't hurt her. " Earning a glance from Lucy. Who was frankly feeling tired of this hunt. She wanted it over. But she still mused. "Don't worry pup. Harming someone unconscious is hardly any fun. " When she awoke though. That was a different matter. Lucy then muttered to Johann. "We should search the cabin. We can also deal with them in there. " There might be evidence in the house of where the others had gone. Besides, If they weren't able to get any information out the dogs and decided they weren't worth the trouble. They could always kill them and leave them in the cabin. A small warning to the rest of the family when they return.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

Johann would likely not admit to having a weakness, although what nutter told people their weaknesses? Still, Lucy was probably at the very least a hindrance in some cases if not a full blown weakness. Luckily, today was not the day that his loyalty to her was being tested. Crow was soon going limp and he took the collar from Lucy, going to snap it around her neck. He looked towards Robin as he spoke but only gave him a grin which maybe contradicted Lucy’s words a bit. He didn’t move to hurt Crow though and instead slung her over his shoulder and moved towards the cabin as Lucy suggested.

”you can save us a lot of trouble, and yourself a lot of pain if you tell us where they’re going” Johann told Robin as he went to set Crow down in a chair. She had the collar on but that didn’t mean she wouldn’t run, although they were no doubt faster than her. If they were going to hurt her though, better for her to be tied up, plus it really added to the whole hopelessness thing they had going. So, Johann took out the chains he had with him. They had been for Mari, made of cold steel, but they’d be perfectly serviceable for this, and he only needed to bind her hands really and keep her attached to the chair.

Robin probably didn't need the same treatment, he seemed weaker and more scared but again they might want to hurt him to hurt Crow. Then again, Johann did enjoy playing and watching him try to escape might be fun. They weren’t here for fun though, this was business. Still, he seemed less exhausted with the situation than Lucy who probably didn’t find as much joy in these things as he did.

 

[Officer Newt]

Robin was surely terrified. But moving him was hardly difficult for Lucy, She simply grasped his arm and pulled him along behind her. He had no way of resisting her. She was stronger then him and could easily outrun him. So, For now Robin was forced to comply. Shoving the man into the cabin. Lucy watched in amusement as he fell on the floor. Stepping inside, She closed the door behind them, Though she supposed they probable could have left it open. The wolves weren't escaping.

Lucy then was looking forward and she frowned at the pretty little living room. Johann already going to set Crow down. Speaking to Robin and surely terrifying the boy further. But Lucy's eyes were drawn to the photos on the wall. It was something that made her falter. A happy little family. Was that a baby in some of the pictures? Yes, Taking in the scents Lucy could tell a child had been here not long ago. It was a uncomfortable thought. But Lucy forced herself to pay attention to Robin. Who had shrunk back into a corner. Attempting to claw at the collar around his neck. Lucy didn't try to stop him. She knew he wouldn't escape it.

But... Robin wasn't eager to answer the question. Sure, He had a good idea where they were going. But Robin was not going to so easily put his niece in danger. No matter how frightened he might be. So, He kept quiet. Instead attempting to bare his teeth at the twins.
Lucy then mused. "Johann, I do believe we've found the dumbest puppy possible. " She informed her brother. Before looking back at Robin. Her tone teasing. "Sweetheart, I'd think you'd learn by now not to annoy us. " She then took a few steps closer. Looking him over. Lucy then shook her head. He might have been terrified. But he'd need to be pushed further before he said anything. Shame wolves had to be such loyal creatures! Lucy thus looked towards Johann. "Well, It seems we get to have some fun. " Lucy could not find herself being too excited over such.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

Johann turned away from Crow and looked at Robin. The fear really was easy to see, the way he backed up into a corner, the desperate little grasps at his collar. Yet, he was still too stupid to talk to them. Johann smiled at the boy and it wasn’t as menacing as some of his other ones but it was certainly still dangerous. “We don’t want to hurt your family” he told him. ”we just want the girls. So, they sooner you tell us where they went, the less angry I’ll get which means i’ll hurt fewer people” he explained. They weren’t here for werewolves, they just had a job to do which the werewolves were in the way of.

Time to make them talk. Johann went to grab Robin and pull him towards him although he was sure the boy would struggle so went to pin him down, aiming to sit on top of him and then pull his knife back out, steel glinting. “I hear that werewolf blood is delicious” Johann murmured. “So…you’re going to let me make you bleed otherwise I’m going to break one of your arms“ he warned and Robin was defenceless enough already, he didn’t need a broken arm, plus that might make being a wolf a bit harder.

Johann went to tear open Robin’s shirt and reveal his chest, although he’d already injured him earlier along his side, but no, Johann wanted this scar to be more central. “You’re only young, so I’m being nice” Johann told him. “Just wrapped up in all this. So, I see no need to cut off your fingers or water board you. Because you will help us, otherwise I might not be so kind to your sister” and Johann tried to start carving into Robin, not deep enough to do internal damage but hoping to scar. Johann planned to carve his name right into Robin’s chest, across his left pectoral muscle.

 

[Officer Newt]

Johann and Lucy seemed to speak almost softly to Robin. As if he was a child, It was condescending! Robin knew very well that these were cruel creatures and then Johann was upon him. A noise of alarm came from Robin. "Get off me! " He barked, Attempting to bat Johann away. That didn't last long before Johann was on top of him. His eyes going wide at Johann's threat and he very much believed it. Lucy raising her eyebrow at her brother at the talk of blood. His words were true. Lucy had once tasted it during a one night stand with a pretty little werewolf. It was almost... Intoxicating. The werewolf had seemed to enjoy it as well. Becoming rather loopy. But in that case things had been mutual. She was not sure these wolves would take so kindly to being bit. Swallowing, Lucy found herself glancing away when her brother continued his word. Hating how natural the other looked.

Meanwhile Crow was awakening. Robin was trying not to scream. But the whimpers were clear. Crow's eyes slowly opened and the realization of what was going on hit her. Forcing herself to remain still. To remain seemingly asleep. Escape was impossible while the vampires were in the same room as them. If they could just leave, Or get distracted for a moment. She could figure out a way to escape. She just had to bide her time.

Eventually, Johann seemed to finish carving. Drawing Lucy's gaze and the stench of blood... It was certainly tempting. She almost licked her lips. Suddenly very aware how long it had been since she last fed. But she kept herself under control. Striding closer and kneeling down. She then mused. "Sweetheart, C'mon. Just tell us where the girls are, And We'll leave you alone. " She soothed. Her arms crossing. But Robin was soon squeaking. "I d- I don't know. We were just going to drop them off into town. " Though it was entirely possible they were still with his brother. Hawk was probable struggling to figure out how to get his siblings back. The girls could be useful for that. But Robin wasn't going to say that. He would not risk his brother or niece.
Lucy's nose wrinkled. Town, That gave a direction. But towns could be rather large. That was hardly useful. Robin could probable tell that Lucy wasn't pleased with the news. For he was soon closing his eyes tightly. Bracing himself for whatever was to come next.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

Johann was enjoying his struggling and whimpers, and sat up straighter, satisfied with his handiwork once he’d done the damage. Oh, how lovely his name looked marring blood-stained skin. Lucy didn’t really seem like she wanted to appreciate his artwork though and was straight back to business. Robin wasn’t very helpful though and Johann growled in annoyance. Well, that didn’t solve anything. He glanced towards Lucy, wondering if she had any ideas on the matter before he gazed back down at Robin thoughtfully. He stuck a finger out, tracing along the ’J’, wetting his finger with blood before popping it in his mouth. He closed his eyes to savour the flavour and…okay, it was certainly finer than human blood. How interesting.

He opened his eyes again, green shining a bit brighter now. “Well, wouldn’t it be useful if we had a tracking dog” he mused. Vampires could detect scents but werewolves had a far more sensitive sense of smell. He could track the girls for them, or at least track down his own family. It was the keeping him in line which was the question, especially if he was in wolf form. “You’d be perfect for the job” Johann pointed out. “Unless of course you’d rather we take our problems up with your sister?” Maybe he’d break Crow’s kneecaps, or pull out some teeth? It was really up to Robin. “I think I’ve got a collar and leash in my car if you’re interested” Johann grinned again, althiugh he was being rather serious about what he kept in his car.

 

[Officer Newt]

Robin winced as he felt Johann's hand touching the injury. Turning his head in a attempt to look away from the vampires. By now he was crying. Tears were evident on his cheeks and he was trembling. He hated the way Johann tasted his blood. As if he was prey. And then the man kept talking and Robin surely did not know what to do. He was terrified at the idea of refusing. But did he have any choice? What if he didn't catch the girls scent? Or it led them straight to the rest of his family. Could he have them go around in circles maybe? He didn't know what to do. Lucy though was watching Robin very closely. And well... The more she watched, The more she got the feeling they weren't being given the whole truth. Sure, Robin was scared and hurt. But... Lucy had a feeling the man had more he could share.

So Lucy shook her head. Telling Johann. "As much as I'd love to put our puppy on a leash. I think he should learn some manners before we take him out in public. " Then she was leaning closer. Musing. "Your family plans to drop them off? I'm sure they'll know exactly where they left them. So where are they going? " That was not a good question to ask. Robin shut his mouth and it was clear that was something he'd not share. Perhaps now was the time to hurt Crow? But no, Lucy leaned back and tilted her head in thought.

Finally she told Johann. "Well... I have a idea on how to train him how to behave. Johann, You punish to much. But let me tell you a trick with werewolves. " She referred to Robin as if he was a naughty puppy. As though he was not a human. Lucy then mused. "They love to be bitten. Makes them all loopy and fun. So why don't we show him what a reward is like? " If he was anything like the last werewolf Lucy had been with. She imagined he'd be too out of it to refuse to answer their questions. Though... Lucy had only one experience with a werewolf. Hopefully Johann wouldn't question how she knew this.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

Robin was scared but clearly not scared enough if he wouldn’t tell them the full truth. Johann was sure he could break him but this was costing them time which would make the girls harder to find and their mother harder to please. Lucy seemed to have a different tact. Johann knew quite well how pain could lend into pleasure and but fear didn’t always feed well into want however he did recognise that both were states of high emotion and feeling.

He narrowed his eyes slightly at Lucy as she talked about how werewolves react. It seemed him and Lucy needed to talk about a lot of things because she was not sharing everything. She had 100% fed off a werewolf but she hadn’t told him that before. After all he shared with her? Tried to keep her at the top of her game! And she was keeping secrets from him? Maybe Lucy would be the next one he interrogated. But right now they should present as a united front. “if you insist” Johann agreed and well, it was his turn to properly feed, that little taste of blood earlier had him hankering for more.

Johann moved a hand to grip Robin’s jaw tightly, trying to restrict his movement as he leaned down to bite him. The collar made access to his neck a little trickier but still perfectly possible. Maybe Lucy had wanted to be the one to bite him but he hardly thought she’d earned it, she could always have him for dessert though. Maybe they should be careful not to drain him dry though before they got the information they wanted.

 

[Officer Newt]

Lucy could very much tell her brother wasn't pleased with her judging by that look. She tried not to shift under his gaze. Oh, She'd be hearing about this later. That she was sure. But her brother was soon listening to her. Much to Robin's dismay. "No, No, No. Stop. " He tried, Attempting to squirm and escape. Not that it did much considering the way Johann was soon gripping him. Still. Robin bared his teeth. This was going to be painful. That he knew. Then Johann's teeth were sinking in and Robin continued to try and push Johann away for a few more moments. Hands shoving at Johann's chest. But eventually he settled down.

His hands no longer trying to shove Johann away. Instead clutching at his shirt. A small whimper coming from him. Seemed Lucy was right, And well.. Lucy was a bit surprised by the results. She hadn't expected the other to become so docile so quickly. Considering the fear in the air. But.. She wasn't going to argue. Eventually nudging Johann. Musing. "You should be able to stop now. He looks pretty out of it. " But Robin clutched Johann's shirt a bit tighter. Whimpering a quiet. "No... "

Meanwhile, With both vampires so dearly distracted. Crow had begun to move. Struggling to shift had proven her worse fears. She couldn't change- Atleast not much for long. But she had begun to shift her arm enough that she'd been able to slide it out of the chains. Still, Even if she could free one arm. That didn't mean she could go anywhere. Not with the vampires still here. But Crow didn't intend to leave. No, As quietly as she could. She was reaching for her pocket. Pulling her phone out. Wincing at every slight sound she heard. But Crow then set to work texting. Her and Robin weren't going to be able to free themselves. But Crow had a few friends that might come help. And if they decided not too? Well, Atleast her brother would be made aware of what was going on.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

The struggling was cute, as if Robin thought he could somehow fight back. There was nothing he could do though and he was soon giving in to the bite. If one drop has been a wave of pleasure then drinking from Robin was an ocean Johann wanted to drown in. He was going to have to add werewolf to his diet because he had the feeling he’d be wanting seconds. And Robin wasn’t struggling anymore, he was gripping Johann, even complaining as Johann pulled away.

Huh, Robin looked so pliant. Clearly this was a weakness of the werewolves which was seemingly unexploited, the smell of werewolves hardly made it seem like they’d be tasty. But it certainly had an interesting effect on the subject. Johann wiped away the blood on his mouth before running a thumb across Robin’s lips and his cheek, curious as to how he’d react. Robin probably would’ve bit him had he been in his right mind but he seemed….more obedient.

”now, are you going to tell us where your family will go?” Johann asked, letting his voice drop into something softer than it had been before, actually gentle so as not to disturb the peace which had befallen them briefly. He could really get used to this. Why did vampires not have werewolf slaves if they were so pleasant after being bit and so nice to taste? Johann wasn't so prideful or prejudice as to not see their uses.

 

[Officer Newt]

Robin seemed rather dazed. A certain light headedness having come over him. It wasn't a bad feeling. No, It actually felt nice. He could feel Johann's hand, And without thinking he nuzzled against it. Probable aiding in the appearance that he was almost tame. Where was his family? Robin heard the question and briefly he thought about keeping quiet. Confusion showed on his face before he looked up at Johann. Eyes half lidded. "They... Sam's parents... " Well, Lucy assumed Sam was one of his pack members. But they didn't exactly know who Sam was. Thus it was of little help.

So Lucy pushed gently. "Where does Sam's parents live? " Robin seemed rather out of it. So she wasn't sure he'd be able to give proper directions. But anything would be helpful. Robin blinked. Narrowing his eyes in thought. Before he then said. "I... Their house is near a park in town. And... There's a steakhouse near it too. " He wasn't exactly able to give a address or street name. But that was enough detail to narrow things down fairly well. Lucy already had some idea of the general location. Once they reached the park or the restaurant they'd probable be able to follow the stench of werewolves straight to the home. Maybe they'd buy Robin a steak for being such a good dog!

Crow had been listening to this as well. She was bristling. But she had texted who she could and then stuffed her phone back into her pocket. Slipping her hand back into the chains. Hoping to remain unnoticed. It seemed to work. As Lucy was standing up straighter and not paying attention to her. She then asked Johann. "Well, It seems like we have a starting point. Now, The question is what do we do with the doggies? " She wasn't sure if they could get much more information out of them. Using them as a bargaining chip was a option. But maybe Johann wanted to keep one? Or they could just kill them.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

Robin was growing on Johann; he enjoyed the way he leaned into his touch and followed orders. He really could grow used to this. And they were getting the information they needed. It seemed like things were looking up for them, let’s hope things stayed that way. Johann figured it wouldn’t be to difficult to find the other werewolves, there couldn’t be that many houses by a park and a steakhouse and surely their scent would give them away. And if it was more family of theirs then there were even more people they could threaten.

Johann glanced over to Robin, her text unknown about. “Kill her or leave her, I don’t care” Johann said with a wave of his hand before a smile curved his face. “This one‘s coming with us though” he rather thought he deserved a pet, although Lucy was more than welcome to take Crow for her own but Johann figured she was probably more trouble than she was worth. Lucy might not have the will to kill her though and that might come back to haunt them if she decided to take revenge or fight back right now. Johann went to climb to his feet and tug Robin up with him, time to return to the car and get a move on. “I might become a dog person” he mused, not that he’d ever really bothered much with real pets, he was a bit too busy for that and it’s not like they needed hunting dogs or anything.

 

[Officer Newt]

Crow was hardly much of a issue to the two vampires. Actually, None of the wolves were. So after a few moments of thought Lucy decided to simply leave the girl. Besides. Her attention was soon snapping back towards Johann. Well... It seemed he had grown fond of the pooch. Lucy could understand. Their taste could be addicting. But Lucy was unsure if such was a good idea. If there mother wanted werewolves hanging around, She'd have a few as pets. But Lucy had never seen such creatures in her collection. Perhaps it was the stench that was a turn off? Or the fact that wolves ran in packs. Thus making it harder for a vampire to capture one.

Robin was soon pulled up onto his feet. A wave of dizziness coming over him and he stumbled a bit. Standing did nothing to help his feeling of lightheadedness. Forcing him to lean against Johann to maintain his balance. He'd recover soon enough. But right now he was out of it. Lucy then pointed out to Johann. "You know, If you let him in your car your never going to get rid of the smell of wet dog. " Lucy already imagined the stench would never come off her clothes!

Atleast Robin was providing no resistance. Lucy got the feeling the blood loss was leaving him dizzy and tired. He'd probable pass out as soon as they reached the car. Which she supposed was good. It ment they didn't need to worry about him too much. Lucy then mused. "C'mon, We probable should make a stop at the house before going to town. I'd only brought two collars. " They'd need to get more. Then again. Crow was still seemingly unconscious and Robin was fairly out of it. They could probable just take the collars off them to use on the girls.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

Robin was a pile of compounding factors which meant he was right up Johann’s street; he was fairly handsome and blonde which definitely Johann’s type, not to mention that he preferred his men to seem weaker and meeker, and Robin was also delicious and after being bitten? So compliant. What wasn’t to like? Oh yeah, the smell. Johann shrugged at Lucy’s comment. “I’m sure I’ll get over it” he said, he might get used to it, or he could give Robin a bath, perfume him a bit to try and mask the smell.

Johann put an arm around Robin to guide him, a brief glance at Crow as he went to lead him to the car. Lucy hadn’t killed Crow, he knew he’d given her a choice but she’d picked wrong. She sure was making a lot of wrong moves today but Johann didn’t comment, they would talk later and she would learn to be better, otherwise Johann couldn’t help her. “I can drop off my new toy as well” he agreed, Eve might question why Johann was taking people for himself but he was sure she wouldn’t want a werewolf so as far as he was concerned, they were up for grabs, besides, everyone knew Johann was a bit of a hedonist.

Johann tried to guide Robin all the way to the car and put him in the back seat, hopefully he’d fall asleep or something otherwise Johann would have to put him in the boot, didn’t want Robin escaping. They’d be back home in no time and then they could go after the girls and this whole mess should be sorted out by tomorrow, then they could go back to dealing with other things.

Johann seemed a bit enamored by his new pet. Though Lucy was curious how long his interest would last. Hopefully he wouldn't get himself too hooked on werewolf blood! But, Robin was not Lucy's only concern. Walking back towards the car. Lucy was very much aware Johann probable wasn't pleased with her. She was making too many mistakes. She knew that very well. But for the moment things were quiet. Reaching the car, Lucy watched as Robin was guided into the backseat. She briefly wondered if he knew what was happening. He seemed fairly dazed from bloodloss and shortly after entering the car. He practically passed out asleep. For the best. They didn't need to deal with him trying to escape while they were driving.

Climbing into the front seat. Lucy was even more aware of the silence. Swallowing. She glanced away for a moment. Before finally saying. "I only bit a werewolf once. It was a one night stand. " The siblings didn't tend to keep secrets from eachother. And while Lucy didn't really consider it a secret. She had chosen not to mention such to her brother. Lucy then murmured. "I was only curious. " Perhaps sleeping around with a werewolf would be frowned upon. But Lucy couldn't say it was the strangest thing she had been with.

Lucy then shifted uncomfortably. Glancing in the rearview mirror at Robin. Before finding herself murmuring. "I don't understand how they can taste so freaking amazing. " She had tried other creatures before. But werewolves were just different. It made her confused as to why no one seemed to feed on them. Was it the stench? Maybe the fact they tended to live in packs and were difficult to capture? Maybe if werewolves found out vampires were hunting them they'd become more aggressive? Or was there some other reason? If there was Lucy had never heard of it. It was just something not mentioned.

Did Lucy have a guilty conscience? Because she was talking before Johann questioned her, as if she wanted it off her chest, or maybe she just didn’t like the silence. Still, she didn’t seem the most comfortable which was certainly curious. Johann could see why she wouldn’t publicly announce why she was having one night stands with werewolves but he was her brother, her twin, she could have at least mentioned this beforehand. Johann glanced at Robin too, he looked even more harmless asleep in the backseat.

“maybe because they’re forbidden fruit” Johann suggested. Werewolves were the enemy, it’s not like there’s be much opportunity for vampires to consistently feed on them without risking harm to themselves, so They were hard to feed off of and therefore made all the sweeter. Maybe it was the animosity between them that made dominating them with a bite so sweet. He looked at Lucy briefly. “You don’t have to keep things like that from me though“ he told her.

”you’re not at the top of your game” Johann commented. “The more you tell me, the more I can help” he pointed out. He didn’t know if someone had gotten into her head or she was ill or maybe even scared but she could be better. “That werewolf almost ripped your throat out and then you didn’t even kill her. I’m starting to think you’ve gone soft” he mused. Maybe she had? Sure, Johann wasn’t always as hard as nails but he seemed To have less mercy.

Lucy couldn't help but feel a bit bad when her brother spoke up. Her gaze low. But then he kept talking and Lucy didn't know what to say or do. He was right. She was showing far to much weakness and there was things that she should mentioned. Punishment would follow failure. But sometimes it also followed their successes. Atleast it felt that way to Lucy. She then found herself muttering without thinking. "I wish she had torn me apart. " Tensing slightly as she realized her own words said allowed. But that did not make them less true. Lucy then shook her head. "I'm sorry.. I just... I'm tired. " She was tired of the constant fear. Though knew no way to escape it. Yet she feared things were only going to get worse.

Swallowing. Lucy then glanced out the window. Confessing. "I can't see out my eye the nymph stabbed. " Sure, No signs of the injury remained. But clearly it had not healed correctly. Briefly Lucy wondered if she injured it again if it would heal back the right way. But she was doubtful. No, This was just a weakness she could only hope would go away. Would their parents find out? What then? Would they finally decide Lucy was of no use? Clearly Johann was the better of the two. Or atleast it felt that way to Lucy. Would her parents decide they only needed one child?

Lucy couldn't help but keep comparing herself to her brother. Only saw her failures compared to him. Though Lucy did carry her own skills. Mostly with regards towards men. She certainly had a fairly flirty relationship with both the prince and Charles. Something that surely had its uses. But Lucy was also far more emotional then Johann. Or atleast she showed her feelings more.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

Lucy was seeming a bit down in the dumps today and Johann frowned at her confession. He couldn’t understand the sentiment, Johann was a survivor, would save his own skin over pretty much anyone else yet Lucy seemed to be giving up. What had gotten into her? Johann figured it was more than just tiredness. Oh, a knife had gotten into her and done some damage it seemed. Johann was still frowning as he thought it over. She could, of course, function with one eye but it was less than ideal and in their line of work put her more at risk, made her weaker.

”We should go to a doctor” Johann told her, or an optician. ”they might be able to help” and Eve didn’t need to know. Lucy may be lagging behind himself but Johann did not want her to disappear, they were a team. Even with her injury he was sure Lucy was more deadly than most vampires, and she had better social skills than him, was better at either faking care or actually caring about people, she was useful in ways he wasn’t, she was not yet useless and thus disposable.

Johann pulled up at their house, going to retrieve Robin from the back. “You should have told me” Johann commented. “i can compensate better for you that way“ he could cover the side she couldn’t see out of, would know to be extra careful on that side. That was the point of being a team, covering the bases your partner couldn’t.

 

[Officer Newt]

He was right, They should go to a doctor. Quietly though. Lucy did not want to take any risks of Eve finding out. Didn't want to think about that. But she still nodded in agreement. A deep sigh coming from her as she herself climbed out the car. Glancing towards Johann. "I know... I just.. You shouldn't need to compensate for me. " Robin seeming to stir a bit as he was pulled out the car. Blinking a bit in confusion. Groggily pressing his face against Johann's chest. The reality of the situation having not set in with his sleepy state. "Where are we? " He muttered. Causing Lucy to spare a glance at him. "We're home puppy. " She informed.

That had Robin finally looking up. Grumbling. "My names not p- " But then it seemed things were catching up to him. The nap had brought a bit more sense to him and he was starting to realize the gravity of the situation. Looking between Johann and Lucy. Resisting a whimper. Once more he was attempting to shift. But currently? He was even weaker then before due to blood loss. There was no way he was changing. Fear and dread wasn't the only thing he was recalling. The feeling of Johann's teeth was also another memory. That? That was a strange thought and he found his hand lifting up to trace the bite. It only led to far more confusing for him.

Lucy decided not to give him time to think things threw. His feelings seemed almost mixed. Lucy had been expecting him to attempt to run. To fight. To at least curse at them. But he wasn't and Lucy allowed a smile to form on her face. "Missing the feeling? I'd offer to bite you myself sweetheart. But I'm not sure Johann wants to share his toys. " Her tone teasing. But... It had Robin glancing up and the idea of that feeling returning was... Enticing. Still, Both vampires likely knew if they bit him again so soon it might kill him. Best to give him time to rest. Besides. Robin was soon worried about something else. Looking between them. "Where's my sister? " He questioned. Attempting to muster his bravery and hold his head held high. But he was still a bit light headed and before he knew it he was reaching towards Johann. Forced to use him as a bit of support. Which made him tense up.

Lucy though was soon looking forward. Gaze thoughtful. Telling him. "You shouldn't have to compensate for me. " They were a team. Yeah, But she should pull her own weight.

 

[British. Intelligence.]

She was right, Johann shouldn’t need to compensate for her but she wasn’t giving him much choice. At least if he knew he could keep them alive a bit better rather than being, for lack of better wording, blindsided by her injury. He would rather not be surprised by her weaknesses. Johann focused on Robin for the moment though, the boy still not fully with it but definitely becoming more aware of the situation. Robin still seemed confused though, despite his protests. And yeah, it’s not like Johann actually knew his name so Robin might want to share it, or maybe he didn’t and it’s not like Johann would necessarily care.

”she’s right” Johann said, he didn’t like sharing his toys although he might make an exception for his sister but another bite would put poor little Robin into poor health, he’d lost enough blood for today. He grinned as Robin had to lean again him for support, good, he would learn to not fight it. “Don’t worry about her, you're not going to see her again” Although maybe Johann should be more sympathetic, he might be upset if he was separated from Lucy so suddenly and didn’t know her fate.

Johann went to guide Robin inside, putting a hand on the boy’s arm to keep him upright and following. “You should have told me you’re compromised” Johann countered. “I prefer to know the state of my partner than have it sprung on me” he reminded her. “You might not want to talk at it but you’re putting us both at risk if you say nothing” He didn’t want to discuss this in front of their mother though, hopefully she was busy. He could put Robin downstairs in a cage or confine him to his room, maybe tie him up a bit more. “what do you reckon? Should I treat my new pet?” Johann asked Lucy, going to stroke Robin’s cheek with the back of his hand.

 

[Officer Newt]

Robin's eyes were soon narrowing as he looked between the two. He was not some pet of Johann's. He wasn't something to be shared. But his thoughts were soon focused on his sister. Dread pulsed threw him and briefly he wondered if the vampires could smell his panic. No... His sister was tough. She was fine and both his siblings would come rescue him soon enough. Luckily, He went quiet for a moment. Seeming focused on his own thoughts.

Lucy was soon biting her lip and glancing away. Murmuring softly. "I know... I just... " But she trailed off. Entering her home. She shook her head. This was a subject to be discussed away from home. Lucy did not want to risk someone listening in. Johann would be able to understand that. Besides, Her attention soon moved towards Robin as Johann spoke of him. She was about to speak. But Robin did before her. A harsh growl coming from him. "I'm not your pet, My name is Robin. " Then when Johann's hand moved close. Well, Robin snapped. Attempting to bite Johann's hand. Sure, It wouldn't do much. But it would make him feel a bit better. Harsh growls coming from him. Oh, How he wished he could shapeshift.

Lucy watched in amusement. She knew her brother could handle it. So shook her head. Telling him. "Well, First off you might want to see about getting a muzzle for him. " Her tone teasing. Johann also might want to handcuff him if he decided to leave Robin in his room. Or else Robin might break something while they were gone! Lucy then mused. "Then again. I doubt his bites hurt that much in his human form. It'll let him learn how useless such things are. " That earned a sharp snarl from Robin.
