The Rogue and The Brotherhood

Chapter 13

Saint's vision was blurry as she came to. She felt stone in her clutches, Smelled ash and blood, and heard nothing but the annoying dripping of water. She waited until her vision had gotten better before she looked around. Where the hell was she?

She thought back a moment, and remembered. She had been kidnapped... But by whom?

Just then, a pair of boots sounded,  and she had let her eyes trail to the source. Before she could, a boot flew to her face, connecting to it. She grunted and leaned from the sudden attack, her spitting blood from her lip. "You dare not look at me, bitch" said a voice. She coughed as she spat out the rest of it, and straightened up onto anything she was against, grunting as she felt the true impact of it. She licked away the blood from her lips, and  looked to where it came from. 

 A growl had sounded along the walls of the old sewer. She looked around, spotting a shadow, concluding that it was the source of the unearthly growl. She grunted, feeling a slight pain in her jaw, and looked to it again. 

The blurry image lurked in the shadows for awhile, and all the while, Saint grew slightly irritated. A kidnapper shouldn't be hiding. What was his deal?

Her thoughts rattled in her head before she spotted the culprit, and she growled in warning. 

"Please, like your growls are gonna do anything, wench" said a husky voice. Saint felt the rumble in the earth, and gasped as she saw the pipes shake, then break. She looked around, hoping she would find a way to break from the pipes. All the while, she watched as the earth had broke, and began to separate. A rank odor exhumed from the opening, making it very hard for her to breathe. The pipe holding her had snapped, and she had successfully escaped the hold. She backed up against the wall as an image emerged, and stood as the earth began to close. What the fuck was going on here?!

The shadow had covered his frame, but she could make out that he was pale, his eyes were full of hate... And emptiness. This Pale skin was conscious. And according to that, this wasn't any good news. In Saint's eyes, this was something even worse than just relentless pale skin. 

She jump roped her arms to the front, staring at the pale white frame of the creature, keeping her hind eye on the other creep that kicked her. She could break free easy. She just needed time. In the meantime, though, she started to analyze her enemy. What she did notice, though,  was that he was staring at her... But not staring at her. Was he blind? 

"What the fuck was going on?!" she growled, the guard walking to the other side of the hideout. The pale skin stared at the wall before he tilted his head to the left, then chuckled. "My, my, princess, you are a very straight woman, aren't you... Don't you remember?" it said. She stared at him before backing up. "What am i supposed to remember?" she said as she started cutting the rope bounding her hands with her talon. 

The pale skin turned his head as she walked swiftly behind the broken pipe. The thing stunk of Baby's breath and her eyes began to water. "My dear Saint, you shouldn't have forgotten me... Especially when i was your guardian all these centuries" it said...

Saint growled at him. "The fuck would i have a pale skin as a guardian, huh? You can't play your mind games with me, you bastard. You have thirty seconds to let me go, or so help me..."

"Let you go?" asked the blind one, and began to laugh. "What makes you think you'll leave with a snap of your precious fingers?" 

Saint didn't like this situation at all. She really wished this was just a page in one of those novels that a knight would come out and yell "I shall save you", but this was no game. 

"Your not in Kansas anymore, Dorothy. And the Scarecrow, Tin man, and no Cowardly Lion can protect you here"  

She growled. This was DEFINITELY not good.

 Caveziel growled and punched the wall so hard, it gave. Henry and Damal didn't know what to do. All they could see him punching around the window she was carried out of, growling in anger and despair. His tears could say it all. There was no way around it.

"Vez..." Damal had said after moments of torturing silence. Caveziel didn't budge from the window. "Vez... What are we gonna do?" 

Caveziel didn't move an inch from the spot he stood. Henry sighed as he stared at him and folded his arms, his Hot Tamales in hand, but didn't even bother biting down on them. He just didn't know what to say at this point. If it was Isa, he wouldn't want to hear a god damned thing either.

Caveziel then tilted his head towards the people behind him, before his mind chased after the notion that she was didtressed. His mind saw her bound and in pain. He saw her trying to fight, but was losing. And tears... Her tears. He couldn't stand the. He had to do something

 Suddenly, Caveziel had turned and walked out the room, Damal and Henry looking to each other... What was he gonna do?

Vez made his way to the armory, and dragged out swords, guns, daggers, anything his hands had gotten onto and he could carry on him without feeling like they were heavy. He just couldn't stand around crying. He had to do something. He had to get her back. Or else, something terrible would happen. 

He loaded up his uzi when he heard Henry and Damal walk into the room. "You ain't going anywhere..." Said Damal

"... Not without us" Added Henry. 

Vez looked over to them, then to his gun as he shoved it onto his back holster. "I don't need you to come with me if you can't keep up" he said as he strapped the swords on his back. Henry chuckled. "Believe me, man... I highly doubt you'll survive without us, man. We' in" he said.

Caveziel looked at them and sighed. "Alright. Fine... Then, lets go" he said.

As they finished strapping themselves up, Damal walked over to Taylor and the crew. "Keep your eyes sharp on the surroundings. Make sure no one tries to ambush this house, if they do... You know what to do" he said. Taylor nodded as Sabine walked off into the lab. Henry and Damal walked behind Caveziel, who stood at the door, taking a deep breath and exhaled slowly.

"I don't need you to come with me if you won't keep up" he said again. Henry shook his head. "Princess is family now... We protect our own" he said. Damal nodded in agreement. Caveziel sighed as he looked at them. He nodded and patted them on their shoulders. "Alright. Lets get her" he said as they walked out the door.
