A/N: I am so so so so sorry for not updating sooner! I was focusing on my other stories then I had a bit of writer's block, but that is no excuse for making you guys suffer for seven months. I know this chapter is a little shorter than my other ones, but I wanted to get something up for you guys. Again, I am so sorry!
And a special thanks to my beta: Bassdogg2006
Blade was led to back to his cell in silence. Selene and Michael were waiting patiently in their cell. As soon as the guard left the room, they started in with the questions.
"What happened?" Selene asked.
"You'll get your answer in an hour," Blade replied coolly. Selene groaned in frustration. He's always so vague! If he wasn't helping us, I'd strangle him to death.
Michael sensed his mates discomfort and put his arms around her, hoping to soothe her. Selene relaxed in his arms. She would have to wait and see what Blade had planned.
Blade sat down in his cell and meditated. He was waiting for Fiona to put her plan into action. He opened his eyes and saw Michael and Selene cuddling. He felt a pang of jealousy, wishing that woman he loved was here with him. But she had been gone for years, and he had been the one who killed her.
"Come on, Blade. I know you can do better than that," the vampire hissed at him. Her daggers were covered in his blood.
"He dropped to one knee in pain. "Karen, don't do this. I can cure you, please!"
"Why would I want that? I'm rather fond of being a vampire," she said twirling her daggers. She reached out to stab him again, but he ducked and rolled out of her way.
"This isn't you, Karen. Fight it!"
"Fight what? Being a vampire? I'm not as pathetic as you. You might as well give up. There's no way you can kill you dearly beloved."
Blade stared at the woman before him. She was no longer the Karen he knew and loved. He gritted his teeth in pain and stood up.
"Finally, you're gonna put up a figh-" she stopped and coughed up blood. She looked down and saw Blade's hand holding his sword, the sword that was through her chest. She looked at him in shock as her body disintegrated into ash.
Blade dropped to the floor. He had killed her. The only person who gave a damn about him, and he killed her. She was gone. No, she had left as soon as she had been turned a vampire. The creature he killed was just a demon in Karen's body.
"Rest in peace, Karen," he whispered.
Blade growled at the memory. Some vampires had swarmed the hideout. He hadn't been there, but Karen had, so they settled for her. They turned her then set her against him. He had been forced to kill her, something that he still regretted.
All of a sudden the lights went out and the room went pitch dark.
"What happened?" one guard said to other. The other shrugged. They pulled out their flashlights and turned them on.
"Maybe the fuse box blew," one suggested.
"Yeah, maybe. Let's go check it out." The guard turned to the prisoners. "Stay put."
"Yeah, because you really have to worry about us escaping when we're behind bars," Selene said sarcastically. The guard glared at her then left.
Blade waited until he heard the dungeon door close to pull the key out of his mouth. He quickly went to the bars and unlocked his cell. Then he went to Selene and Michael's cell. He unlocked it for them and opened the cell door.
They stepped out and stretched. "Great, now let's get out of here," Michael said. Blade shook his head.
"We have to make a small detour first," he said.
"What detour?" Selene asked icily. She had a feeling she knew what it was. If it had anything to do with the skank that locked them up in the first place…
"We have to get Fiona," Blade said.
"Not bloody likely!" Selene exclaimed.
"She has valuable information about Morbius and offered to help. She's the one that gave me the key in exchange for getting us out of here."
"I'm not helping that bitch!"
"Let me finish. She thinks we're going to fake her kidnap. But we actually are going to kidnap her. She just won't know until we don't take the handcuffs off," Blade explained.
Selene shook her head. "You're on your own with this one."
"Fine, I'll meet you two outside with her in tow," he said. They quietly walked to the door. They peeked out into the hall. The guards were already nearing the end of it and about to turn a corner.
"You need handcuffs right?" Selene asked Blade. He nodded. She smiled devilishly and ran down the hallway with incredible speed.
She kicked out the first guard's kneecaps and grabbed his head and wrenched it to the side, separating his skull from his spine. Then she took his nightstick and bashed the other guard on the head with it. They were both dead before the hit the floor. She grabbed a pair of hand cuffs from the one of the bodies and threw it to Blade. "We'll see you outside."
Blade ran past her and rounded the corner and sprinted up the stairs. Taking two at a time, he reached Fiona's floor in no time. He found her door and kicked it down. She was in a black long-sleeve shirt and black jeans. She was sitting at her desk patiently.
"Ready?" he asked. She nodded and stood up.
"Turn around," he ordered. She complied and he put the restraints on her.
"Hit me, " she said.
"What?"
"Remember, we need to make it look real."
So he slapped her, busting her lip open. She swallowed her cry of pain. She reached over to her desk and handed him a gun. He grabbed her arm roughly and pulled her into the hallway where he was met by several guards.
He shot them all down and ran through the hall, dragging Fiona with him. More appeared and started firing at him. He ducked and continued running. For her role, Fiona was screaming and shouting, pretending to be in distress. He took her down the stairs and backtracked to the path he had used to break into the castle.
Ten minutes later
Selene and Michael were waiting outside the castle grounds. Selene saw that it was almost sunrise. Blade better hurry up.
Right on cue, Blade showed up with Fiona in tow. As soon as he caught up with them he let go of Fiona.
Selene walked up to her and slugged her. Fiona went down hard.
"What the fuck, you ungrateful bitch?!" she yelled. She stood up and spit blood on the ground.
"That's for kidnapping my mate." Selene turned to Blade. "Let's get out of here so we can interrogate her."
"Wait, what?"
"Did you really think we were going to help you?" Blade asked with some amusement. Fiona stared at him.
"You son of a bit-"
Selene stepped forward and gave her an uppercut to the jaw. Fiona fell to the ground unconscious.
"That should shut her up for awhile," Michael said.
A/N: You guys probably hate me for making this chapter short, but I wrote this in thirty minutes so I did my best. Please review!
