The King's Sorceress

Chapter 4

Amethyst's POV 

"Beep"  and indication appears on my screen from an encrypted data transfer system. "hmm"   I grumble. I'm so glad I was able to get all those tracker chips embedded in them. I smile at myself. 

I see some of the Vampire groups subordinates are all meeting together at the Trinity Church. Maybe I should see my way over to their party and inquire what they are up to. I stand up purposefully and make my way across the room and remove a portrait of my father from the wall. Displacing his portrait I reveal a biometric scanner concealed neatly behind it. Upon placing my hand I am greeted by a voice designed to replicate that of Alfred from batman, I'm a bit of a comic book connoisseur and I figured it would be befitting given the circumstances of my technological background. 

As the door opens to what looks like a typical grand dressing room hydraulic shelves turn out from the walls revealing an arsenal of assorted high tech tools of torcher directly designed to bring as much pain as humanly possible to the worms. With so many options its hard to choose, do I go with the run of the mill rope and harness? No, that wouldn't be necessary.  Perhaps a silver plated cross, it does have the benefit of ergonomic concealment, but I'd not want to get too close.

 I decide to take my tried and true 9mm with the special pressed bullets filled with holy water and blessed by the pope himself, this gun has seen many deaths and its been a staple for years. Now what about those hairy little dogs, a leash should be enough I chuckle as I run my finger tips along the edge of the shelves.

 "Ah here we go"

I reach to a middle shelve picking up a weapon that speaks on so many levels the tenderness within its powerful punch. Looking down I hold in my hands a .45 with two fully loaded mags of completely silver little treats of fire for those wolfs. I grab 4 wooden stakes out of the drawer.  I opt to dress in my normal stealth attire of a catsuit, corset and utility belt and boots. I  holster my weapons, look in the mirror, and do a little turn. 

"Yep, I am dressed to kill " I laugh at my own pun before walking out and locking the door. 

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I look down at my watch. "Ugh" 10:00 I've been sitting on the roof of the building across the street for 2 hours. It's been quiet for a little bit so I decide to go take a look inside. I sneak in. Moving silently through the church. I notice some disturbances around a statue of the Holy Mary. I am able to slightly move it and reveal an entrance to what appears to be under ground catacombs. 

I start to tread warily down the winding stairs.  It feels so odious down hear. I can smell the death with slight hints of blood. I hear murmured talking. I need to get closer to make out what they are saying. I continue my descent making not a sound. 

"Only 30 ?" a deep voice says.

Ah .. good... I'm close enough now to be able to hear. 

"Cassius will not be please with these numbers" one says with a subtle English accent.

"We just need to make sure we have enough livestock in the underground city to be able to have enough to drink through the cleansing" says a woman's voice. 

Just then I feel a presence behind me. All at once,  my hands are pinned... My mouth is covered by a hand and I'm pressed against the wall I was hiding behind by  a rock... hard... muscular chest. Oh F*ck. I'm in trouble.....

Daemon's POV

I'd been hiding up here between the organ pipes of the Trinity church concealing my presence for hours. One of my pack members came to me today saying they had intelligence on a vampire clan meeting in the church. Maybe their worries were for not as its been quiet since they all came in. Out of the corner of my eye I see Amethyst sneaking through the church. 

'The catacombs entrance where the vamps went?

We should go to protect her  my beast growls

I agree and begin following her staying far enough she won't sense me. Last time I tried sneaking upon her she could have ended me, I will not make that mistake again. I move silently as the grave behind her. What is she wearing? A cat suit.... Seriously ? I don't want anything caressing her body like that other then me.

 She keeps moving down the stairs so quiet, lithe, and beautiful like she stalking prey. My mate is one h*ll of a woman I can feel my pride swelling inside.  She stops at a bit of alcove at the wall. I hear the vampires talking. I do not  like this. She's much to close danger. My beast is on edge.  I see she's got two guns and some stakes on her waist. I'll have to move quickly to keep her and me from getting hurt. 

In one swift movement using all the speed my beast has and move behind her grabbing her wrist with my left hand and covering her mouth with my right. I press her against the wall  with my body to hold her still.. and... to feel her. 

She feels like heaven against my body, molded perfectly against it. I lower my lips to her ear, brushing my bottom lip ever so gently on her ear lobe. 

I whisper under my breath. "It's me..... My sweet Amethyst..... Don't be afraid"

I feel her tremble beneath my touch. Ah.... so I do effect her. I slowly let go of her wrist with my left hand then slide my hand gently onto her stomach holding her quietly, moving slowly to not let us be caught. I release her mouth. Immediately missing the feeling of her lips on my skin. She looks over at me with those beautiful violet eyes that are mixed with emotions. 

 I listen again. I do not hear the vampires talking anymore. Amethyst notices to as she leans against the wall attempting to hear. She gently pushes my body away from hers. I regret that I am no longer holding her in my arms. We both take a few more steps.

 Nobody is there. She snaps her head in my direction looking at me with a scowl. Her eyes now displaying  anger. She is so cute mad.

We search the room they were in to no avail before resigning to head out of the catacombs. I follow her up the stair savory the view. Keeping my interest to myself as I know she is seething mad trying not to let me see. We get outside and she turn on me.

"What in the h*ll did you show up for down there" she snaps

"To see you " I smirk a devilish smile at her.

"Hold your tongue, you ruined my position. I was going to figure out where they were going and free those humans"

"And do what Amethyst... Get yourself caught... hurt... killed " I walk circling her , tracing my finger down her jaw line speaking in a low voice that I know makes her weak, " None of those options set well with me so I intervened to make sure your safe."

She crosses her arms and huffs" I've been just fine on my own so far" She is so cute mad.

She begins to stomp away. I grab her hand attempting to pull her back to me she takes a quick stance with her foot grabs my wrist in preparation to drop me to the ground. Oh no my dear little minx not this time. I move and trap her in my arms. 

" Let me go " She struggles.

"Not unless you at least let me take you home."

She stills.... lets out a deep sigh then says defeated " As you wish"

I drive her back home not saying much. I was trying to unravel this mystery of a woman. On the outside she's strong, beautiful and filled with grace, but, on the inside she is wild, saucy, smart, and dare I say near as skilled as me. How does a woman such as this even exist. 

We get to the outside of a nice condo building with security and she stops saying " This is mine"

" I can walk you inside " I respond flirtatiously.

" You may not"

"Goodnight my sweet Amethyst" I lean and kiss her on the cheek.

She looks at me with curious eyes as she touches her cheek where I kissed her then says, " Goodnight Daemon" and walks inside.

We shall see each other again have no fear my little minx. I head back home I have much to do. I call Nick, " Did you do the digging I asked and find out who Ms Amethyst is."I ask him.

" I did. She is an orphan by the name of Amethyst Travorsk graduate of M.I.T, got in trouble a few times in her teenage years hacking into the FBI, and best part you'll love this. She applied for a job as IT tech at one Cain Technologies. " Nick says unable to contain his excitement. 

Perfect we will see each other again my sweet Amethyst , make no mistake about that. " Nick You know what to do" I laugh.

" Consider it done. I already had Selene send out the email. You need anything else? " He asks.

" No, that will be all" then disconnect the call as I pull into my garage. This will be interesting. I can't wait to see her face. I laugh to myself.
