The King of the Grail's Fate (Fate/Nasuverse)

Chapter C: Viper

HEY! We made it all the way to chapter 100 what a milestone (technically it is 120 but based on how I number them only 100). I am so happy to still be publishing this story and for everyone to still be enjoying it. It has been one heck of a ride so far and I have loved every moment of writing this story, I hope you all see it to its completion.

The words rang out across the room as if hissed into Harrison's ears his body completely frozen in fear. No, it wasn't that, it was something else entirely it felt as if his body was turned to stone, as no matter how hard he commanded it to move it simply did not. Furthermore, the feeling of being like lead did not cut down on his senses if anything it heightened them. The voice sounded feminine and the warm breath that coasted down the nape of his neck sent shivers down his spine. 

Slowly he felt hands come from behind him as they worked their way up his chest, Harrison was trying with all his might to do something, say something anything. Suddenly he felt the sensation of a tongue lap at the side of his neck, "I'm sure you would taste great," the monstrous yet oddly feminine voice purred. "Sto-" was as far as Harrison got before teeth pierced the flesh in his neck instantly sending him fully unconscious.

"We should probably go back through before it gets dark out," Yor says after a long moment as she and BB gather their things. Salter nodded her head in agreement and she dismissed her blade with a  wave of her hand. Suddenly BB raised a finger to say, "Oh Harrison just arrived." Yor nodded and considerably slowed her pace, "Maybe we should give him a minute," she said looking towards Salter who was matching her pace. They didn't have to worry about Stella, or Annabelle as they had gone out together and Jalter was off doing her own thing.

The walk back was mostly uneventful as most if not everyone who lived with Harrison had made the track tens of times and even the trail in and of itself was starting to fade into the background of everyone's mind. Salter suddenly stopped in her tracks as her eyes went wide. "Salter what's wro-" before Yor could even ask like a bullet or more accurately a freight train Salter exploded with speed towards Harrison's apartment. In the span of maybe a second Salter had burst through the window to Harrison's small living room sword and armor already dawned as she looked around frantically. She had felt something happen with the mana tethers between them and that most likely meant something bad.

Frantically she looked around the small home which suddenly seemed to feel as if it was the Library of Babel never-ending. Despite her in-depth search and fast response time, Harrison was nowhere to be found. Almost as soon as she finished searching Jalter burst through the front door with the same worried expression on her face. "You felt that too?" she asked as she unsheathed both of her swords her eyes darting around wildly. Salter only nodded to concentrate on what had happened as the two of them turned over the apartment once more before Yor arrived and stopped them. "Both of you stop for a moment and think about things for a second," she said half out of breath from sprinting the entire way back. The two servants looked at her expectantly as she caught her breath.

"BB felt that Harrison had just left right after you went dashing off Salter, so let's first look to see if there are signs of any sort of struggle, did Harrison take his keys, wallet phone, knife, etc things to clue us in on what happened," Yor stated as she slowly brought herself up from her exhausted stance. The other girls nodded and instantly darted to Harrison's room where they knew he would place those items if he wasn't going out. However, they came back empty-handed, though as they looked towards Yor who was still at the front entrance thinking Salter noticed something. "He was ambushed," she said simply. Yor immediately looked at her confused, "What do you mean?"

"His jacket the one he was wearing earlier is right by the door," Salter said confidently. "What if he just came home for a moment to drop it off," Yor questioned. Salter slowly moved to the jacket as she continued her theory. "I believe that he had just gotten home as BB said and placed his jacket on the stand by the door and then was ambushed and taken before he could get to his room to remove his other items." Salter then took the jacket and threw it over herself. "But you have no way to prove that is exactly what happened," Yor said not entirely sold on the idea yet. "Mind if I add something," Jalter asked as she moved to the living room.

"I noticed as we were looking for Harrison initially a weird wet spot on the floor over here but I didn't think anything of it until you had mentioned that Salter," Jalter said as she pointed out the red-tinted splotch it looked as if someone had licked red Koolaid of the floor. Yor moved to the liquid and held her hand above it with her eyes closed. "Analysieren," Yor stated simply as her magic crest glowed brightly. "Shit," she said after a moment of heart-wrenching anticipation.

"Saliva, lots of mana, and most importantly blood," was what I got from that Yor said as she looked up at the other girls.
