Devil’s Royalty

She leans up against the shadow wrapped wall waiting for the camera to pan away from her location. Her black gloved hands inching along to find the keypad. Just as she reached the pad, the camera started to pan back, she dropped down. The shadows almost completely hid her form save for the glint of her eyes.. in her ear piece. "That was a close one sweetheart, starting to feel your age? " the camera recording light blinked off as she stood back up typing the code "Not one bit, just testing your ability." The security dies instanly, as the motion detecters power down one by. She was happily greeted by the released security dogs "Now where am i heading to Nikola darling, the sooner im out of this place the happier ill be." She reached down and scratched the guard dogs ears as she walked unscathed through the room. A black shadow slipping through the glass display cases,with a tail of happy dogs following her. "Your looking for the ancient Spartan armory they have the dagger displayed in there. Can you believe these uneducated heathens, placing one of my people's ceremonial daggers in with these greeks." She scoffed "Well my darling, not everyone can be as versed as you in vampire artifacts, I'm sure they didnt know what they had. Ah here we are." She stopped at the case gently running a claw along the glass. Her new friends rolling and playing at her feet. "Now have you disarmed the cases or is it going to be messy?" she gently tapped her clawed gloved hands. "Just a moment my sweet one you can't rush genius. And there, your delicate little hands just have to open the door." She opened the case with ease and reached for the simple dagger. Just as her hand grasped the hilt one of her friends started to growl, the other turned from her as they started to move the door. "Niki I think we have company and it's not the welcoming kind. " she slipped the dagger safely onto her person and closed the case. "Nikola," "A little busy, right this second, it seems we weren't the only ones that wanted something here tonight." She had heard a crash followed by the dogs barking. "Our new friends aren't as sauve as us my darling, the alarms were triggered. Time to go, " She hurried her stride as she moved across the gallery. She saw them breaking the cases in the Egyptian exhibit. Taking a deep breath, "I'll be right along get to the car," She crept along the entrance "Christina don't, we got what we came for, leave them." She growled "you know I can't I'll met you at the car in 5 minutes tops." She turned sharply and see the dogs injured and whining in the corner. She checked to make sure there was nothing seriously wrong with them and dropped down in the shadow of one of the exhibits. The men were just grabbing anything gold they could get there hands on, laughing. There were three of them all together and none of them knew what was coming. "I cant believe the boss just wants one thing, when all this gold is just sitting here. " one of them said as he shoved priceless necklaces into his bags. "I know even the thing he wanted was plain and worthless, why anyone would want a greek butter knife ill never know." The third one walked right by her hiding spot "I'll go grab that thing while you two finish cleaning out this room. " She let a low growl out. "and would one of you finish off these dogs before they get back up." She took a breath and stayed in her hiding spot until the third one left. As soon as she heard his footsteps disapper she stood up and cleared her throat. "Well boys, what do we have here." They turned around quickly drawing their guns "What the f**k, where did you come from." She leaned up against a case "That's not important, what is important is that is not yours. " She motioned to the gold. They laughed and closed the distance between her and them keeping their guns trained on her. "You move one inch and we'll blow your pretty little head all over this room. Dillon we have about a five foot six leather clad problem back here." one of the men said into his walkie . It crackled back to life, "Search it because our butter knife is gone and ten to one, the problem has it." She held her hands up to show she was unarmed as one man kept a gun pointed at her head. The other started to frisk her. "Now, now gentlemen, buy a lady a drink first, " She snarled as she grabbed the gun from the one and crushed the barrel in her hand, " What the f**k are you" he cried, " Your worse nightmare" as she picked up the other man up by the throat and threw him into a wall. Gun man screamed and turned tail running right into number three. " You should have left the dogs alone." She turned towards the guy who had tried to frisk her. He was still stuck in the wall. "Now this wasnt very nice of any of you" She faced the jumble of men on the floor and extended her claws. She ran them along the cases leaving deep scratch mark as she moved.the glass cried out as she closed the distance. "You were some bad bad boys...." her eyes glowed as she lept into the pile and started tearing and ripping at them. She threw gun man into the closest case redending him unconscious. Then turned to the one called Dillion, walking to him, he started to back paddle out of the Egyptian exhibit. "Who are you working for," she growled. He stammered, "I dont know his name. I just know his money was good. He paid half before the job and the rest when we delivered. " he had backed up into a case and cowarded away from her. She slammed her clawed hand into the case, shattering the glass around them. The sound of sirens brought her back to the present. She took a deep breath and said, "Tell your boss he was too late." He slumped down shaking and nodding. Satisfied, she turned and made sure to check on the dogs as she disappeared right before the cops came busting in. When they entered the room all they found where the three nearly unconscious men babbling about a crazy clawed female and the two gaurd dogs. She slipped out of the back of the building completely unknown to the police that swarmed the front. They followed the path where the men had come in. One by one, as she passed the security cameras they clicked back on. Each showing everytging in its place and no sign of the shadow that slipped silently out. She smiled warmly seeing the black sedan waiting for her. It pulled up to her lights off and the window rolled down, " Going my way, Sweetheart and do i have to pay extra for you to keep the leather on..."She rolled her eyes and walked aroundnto the other side of the car climbing in. The man on the driver's side had medium length rust colored hair just greying at the temples and emerald eyes sprakling like a child on Christmas. "It depends handsome, is a warm bath and dinner included" She waggled her brows at him as she pulled her hair up in a pony tail. She pulled her gloves off and slipped the dagger out to look at it. "Of course, my darling im not a monster, now let'sget that dagger and us home." he slipped his arm around her and smiled showing the slightest bit of fang as he put the sedan in drive.
