Stolen

Chapter 3 : Be Safe

Shadow's pov

When will those crooks learn? I gave a frustrated sigh as I watched the scene in front of me of Fiona chasing some kid down the corridor of the orphanage. I then waited on the roof top with my arms crossed waiting for them to eventually come out of the building. Good thing I actually wore a coat tonight as it's particularly chilly.

A month ago this girls parents had been killed by a vampire and she was taken into care, but there was a big debate as to where she was going to go. So she ended up in this orphanage which teaches children straight away to fear vampires and always wear a silver cross. But neither hunter nor vampire had whispered a word as to why this girl was so widely coveted. Either way I was here under the simple orders to keep an eye on Scourge. He was the usual trouble maker giving all us vampires a bad name. A tip off had informed us that he was going to try and take the girl tonight along with the usual gang of Fiona, Sleuth and Dargo.

Soon enough they came out dashing over the rooftops Scourge carrying the girl. I didn't hesitate to give into the chase. Scourge was at the front, Fiona close behind with Dago and Sleuth bringing up the rear. I attacked Sleuth first I prepared to attack and he only realised my presence a second too late before I whacked him right on the back of the neck knocking him out, he stumbled back a couple of paces before falling off the roof. Unfortunately that wouldn't be nearly enough to kill the bastard.

But Drago was quick to catch on.

"Watch out! It's the trai-

He was cut off by me grabbing him by the scruff of his neck and throwing him off the roof, with a bit of luck he'll be knocked out by the fall and out of my way. As my attention returned to Scourge and Fiona they only ran faster. But after a couple of seconds Fiona ground to a sudden halt and turned to face me bringing out her chain and ball.

"Go on! Get outta here!" she yelled at Scourge.

He didn't need to be told twice.

Fiona got ready standing in a battle stance glaring at me.

"Come on! Give me your best shot!" she yelled.

She then made the first move in attempt to hit me with her ball swinging it at my head. I ducked and easily avoided the attack. The ball went straight over me and made a huge dent on the roof as it collided with the concrete. I took my chance to grab the chain but Fiona quickly caught on and released her grip knowing that I would have most likely pulled her towards me and kicked her, but she wasted time by immediately jumping in the air ready to kick me. I blocked it with both arms in front of my face and took the chance to grab her by the leg and throw against the wall against a higher building.

"Is that good enough for you?" I asked rhetorically.

I then picked up her chain and ball and threw it at her stomach and my ears caught the sound of a couple of ribs cracking. That should keep her down for a few minuets. I couldn't waste any more time on her.

Once again I was quick on Scourge's tail. He soon noticed me though.

"Ah can't you just fuck off traitor?" he asked looking back at me.

Wrong move. When he looked to face where he was going again I had already sped in front of him. I took satisfaction in the quick face he made realising his stupid mistake, right before I punched him in the face. I was satisfied to feel the bones of his nose crack under my fist and hear that sweet 'crunch'. The force of my punch threw off his balance and he ended up falling off the roof.

I wasn't worried about the kid though. If all the rumours about her were true then Scourge shouldn't hesitate to do something decent and use himself as a shield to protect the kid. I heard him give a groan as he collided with the ground, I then made little effort of jumping off the roof and down into the alleyway in which he landed. It was ended so I was blocking his only exit, although if he was desperate enough then he'd easily be able to scale the walls. I looked down at him as he stood up holding the kid close not a scratch on her (F/C) skin.
