World of darkness : book 3 : the red war

Part 26 : returning to the fight

( narrator pov )

Mara was working in her old room in klauses fort you could call it , she was making the weapons he wanted and had mostly fixed Patrick's armour.

Mara wanted to have this work done as soon as possible so she could leave this place as soon as she could.

Mara " alright mara 10 energy weapons already finished ....only 100 more to go " she used her arm welder to put two bits of metal together ,She heard knocking on her door and knew it was klaus." Come in "

He entered and walked near mara " i see you are doing well " he turned his head slightly and glanced at Patrick's lightning armour " woah that is what i call power" he crossed his arms with a smile on his face.

Mara " im not making one for you so dont bother asking " she said to him still not looking at him and continuing to work.

Klaus " why would i need one ? I cant just cover this " he lifted up and began to flex his arms " i can't cover such a beautiful body fully " he put one of his hands down and put his hand through his beard " and i must show the beard" mara was annoyed by his ego that came out some times but dealt with it.

Klaus picked up one of the weapons mara had made for him.

Mara " to turn it on the button should be right about where you're meant to hold it " klaus moved his hand down and pressed a button , the simple looking poll turned into an energy axe.

Klaus stared at it as he turned it in his hand " what a pretty instrument of pain , sorry i know you dont like your weapons being described only as death machines " she rolled her eyes and stood up.

Mara " look i work better when im on my own so can i just get some peace ? " klaus understood that she didnt want him there so he turned off the axe and turned.

Klaus " I'll leave this here " he left in on the floor carefully " just letting you know your friends will be most likely leaving soon so if you want to say anything to them id head off to do so now " he left the room and closed the door slowly,

Mara " mmmm " she sighed " well I suppose i have to give Patrick the bloody thing to Patrick anyways " she grabbed the armour and went off to give it to Patrick.

Earlier Patrick had woken up zane and elsa and they were already preparing to leave on their horses.

The three were outside the building they stayed in , Patrick was fixing some of his stuff onto the horse and zane leaned against the wall that was next to the horses.

Elsa " ill go and see can we get any more food that wont be horrible to eat cold when we leave " she ran off.

Zane " wait Elsa ...JUST BE CAREFUL " he called out to her as she ran off."....i hate it when she just runs" he said dropping his arms looking almost defeated.

Patrick " what is up with you two exactly ? You guys related or something ?" He asked turning his head to his right to look at zane.

Zane " not at all we couldnt have been born more apart , i was born into a group of assassins and she was found throw outside the coven when she was just under a year old as far as she told me because thats all she knows" Patrick was a bit interested in the whole being born into a group of assassins that he had never encountered.

Patrick " theo said he fought a group of assassins before but he said the suddenly disappeared, any insight into that ? "

Zane "....ha ha ha ha " he laughed nervously as if he's done something " well all i know they were attacked by something and killed " Patrick knew there was more to this story but he would ask it later.
