nothing gave.

“Hey what are you doing to me?”

“Quod sit quod tenetur quo ei ducem.” (take that which is bound to that whom is leader to it)

Then he was levitating a foot above the floor in a black cloud and going out the door. He was yelling at Bayne to get him out of this and when he exited the room all we heard was cries for help becoming fainter and fainter. Then my shoulder gave out and I fell with Bayne on top of me. We were vampires by the time we hit the ground.

“nigrum adamantas mederi uulneribus qui est cor meum.” ( black diamond’s heal the wounds of the one who belongs to my heart)

“What are you rambling about? You know I don’t know Latin.”

“That I want the diamonds to heal you because I love you Beowulf.”

That’s when she kissed me. We became quite close the four days I was out. I just hadn’t remembered till now. That’s why she was so hesitant to let me touch her. She didn’t’ know if I remembered. We kissed a minute longer before we got up to escape.


Warrior Tainted



I was using the weightlifting equipment Camille had bought me when she walked in my room. She was tall and elegant as always. Today she let her long blonde hair flowed freely down her back. She wore a knee length black dress. I was bench pressing 1300 lbs. while she walked over and got in one more lift before she addressed me and I had to stop. I dropped to one knee and put my fist on the ground and bowed my head in respect.

“Raven, remember that favor I wanted you to do? Did you do it?”

“Mistress Camille I had my crow, Perce, to kill the dark tainted.”

She didn’t look happy and her emerald eyes were mad. She slapped me and I fell on my butt. She will regret that if I can ever get this bracelet off. I thought to myself. I subconsciously raised my left hand and looked at the gold and silver bracelet. There was something in it that inhibited my Valkyrie powers. That’s why I was in this room with vampires instead of Valhalla.

“Mistress?”

“I told you to kill her yourself. Instead you sent that crow and now I have her and that wolf tainted to deal with. I’ll give you one more chance.”

She turned around and left the room. When I couldn’t hear her loud clicking anymore I got up and went to the bulletin board that had my targets taped up on it. I ripped down the picture of a man. He was tall and had black spiky hair with red tips. Next to the picture of his vampire form was a picture of a black wolf with red on its muzzle, for paws and tail.

I put it back on the board and looked at the woman. She was skinny but muscular. Her hair was long and dark brown. Next to her was a grim reaper. I put the picture back because I had looked at it so much before. I had to memorize what she looked like so I could assassinate her at the blood festival. But now that she has freed the wolf tainted I have to kill her tonight, what a pain.

“Tainted Raven, Mistress Camille wants me to sharpen your weapons for a quest she has seat for you.”

“Tania? Fine you can sharpen my arrows and axe. But leave the rest of the weapons for me to tend.”

“Yes Raven.”

I watched as the little Hispanic girl went to my armory and took the arrows and axes off in a big cart. She was Camille’s apprentice I f you could call it that. She basically did whatever Camille ordered her to do and if she didn’t she was lashed. All of that so she could become a vampire and marry Camille’s nephew. There are a number of ways to get Camille’s approval of the wedding but Tania had to choose the hardest.

Most people Camille takes on are killed because she’s so evil. But little Tania was strong and stubborn and she would be the one who would succeed where others haven’t. She left the room quietly and closed the door. I went to sit on my bed for a few minutes before I got ready to hunt Bayne and Beowulf. I Shut my eyes and listened to the sounds outside the window.

“Cawwww.”

My eyes searched for the source of the cawing and I found Perce standing on the mirror. There was dried blood on his beak and fresh blood dripping from under his breast feathers.

“Perce! Oh my god what happened.”

I stretched out my arms to him and he flew down. I cradled him carefully and lifted his feathers. There was a deep cut across his chest. And it was bleeding heavily. I shifted him to one arm and took the sleeve of the other in my mouth and pulled. It ripped off easy. Then I sat Perce down on the table in front of the mirror. He made painful noises but they eased as I wrapped the bandage around him to stop the bleeding. Once I had the bandages on him I cradled him in my arms.

“What happened Perce?”

“Cawww.”

I shifted my eyes and burst into white crystals. I watched myself in the mirror as I changed. My spiky blonde hair grew longer n curly. My vampire blue eyes shifted to a deeper shade. White wings materialized on my head. My work out bra exploded into a metal corset. My pants became a white skirt with a golden belt. Attached to the belt was a double edges sword. And my feet had sandals that wrapped up to my mid claves. This was my Valkyrie form. Once I had totally changed the cawing Perce made became English.

“Dark tainted that I attacked. She defended herself. Kincaid was shooting the wolf with a gun and I made my move. But she saw me n uses her Scythe. I withdrew my straight one attack for her heart n managed to get her side. But she got me with the end of her scythe."

“Perce I told you to be careful that she has a lot of experience.”

“I’m sorry my lady.”

“It’s ok Perce I’m just glad she didn’t kill you. You’re the only friend I have in this place.”

He made a noise n I shifted back. I walked over to his roost and pulled a pillow off my bed n put it under the roost. Gently laying him on the pillow I stroked his feathers till he fell asleep. I will kill her tonight so Perce doesn’t get hurt again helping me. I have others I can call upon. I stood up and walked over to the window. I glanced back at Perce and then jumped out.


Warrior Tainted



In the shadows I waited for the other tainted to come passed where I was hiding. I kneeled on a tree branch ready to strike. The forest that secluded the interrogation houses was perfect for hiding in. I heard the rustle of feathers to the left and right of me. I smiled knowing the crows I called were as restless for a fight as I was. Shifting my stance again I began to flex my hand above my sword.

Come on already they have to come out soon! I had gathered information from Celia and Gus who had a nest by the main interrogation house. That Bayne and Beowulf hadn’t left yet. Just then squawking came from the far side of the building.

“Here, here, here!”

“GO!”

I breathed at the crows. They took flight and in a perfect v shape swooping down to the vampires I could see exiting the building. The crows attacked them and drove them to me. The man, Beowulf, changed into a wolf. It was larger than I expected. His head came up to the Bayne’s shoulders. She jumped on his back and they ran my way. I lurched from the tree screaming and swung my sword down. Bayne jerked her head up and my sword stopped in mid air.

“Venit Angelus Cecidit.” (come fallen angel)

She had changed faster than I could see. And when I heard her speak the words it was already too late. Her scythe held off my sword. And I was falling down to her. I had to move fast or get killed. I kicked my leg out and knocked the end of her scythe up. It freed my sword from the re-curved half of her scythe giving me an opening.

I let my weight bring the sword down hard where her shoulder was. Sparks flew as she used the weapon on the end of the chain to stop my blow. By now Beowulf had realized I was attacking and he turned back to bit me.

“Crows.”

I said and He yelped as some flew down from the circle over our head and pecked at his face. Then he growled and swatted them away. I jerked Bayne by the wing making her fall off. She summer salted to her feet just as my sword came down again, this time aimed for her head, it missed and hit dirt. The crows swarmed Beowulf leaving just me and Bayne to fight.

“Come on.”

She said at me glaring then she vanished. I spun with my sword out anticipation an attack. Instead a bunch of the crows pecking at Beowulf were blown away. Bayne was there standing over the limping bloody wolf. Her wings were extended. She had wrapped them around him and when she opened them it knocked away the crows. She kept her glare on me and charged. Our weapons clashed again almost making her speech inaudible.

“Nigra aequora adamantas trahentem lupus sanguinem quo est cor meum. Fac et Soar plumas. quod sit a threat da domina. liga bene faciendi sunt unum fieri.” (Black diamond’s seas that which draws blood from the wolf in which my heart is. Make feathers fly and soar. Take that which is a threat and give it to its mistress. Bind them well make two become one.)

I was going to ask what she was saying when the crows all cried out at once. They were frozen. Then black chains lashed out at them from something on the ground in front of Beowulf. It looked like a crystal or something I was too worried about my crows to look at it any more. They began to come together and towards me.

Bayne jumped up and flew back to Beowulf looking concerned for him. Then I couldn’t see anything because the crows were being wrapped around me. I shrieked it terror as they bound tighter n tighter to me. They were all squawking and straggling.

“Stop, be still crows. And cut the chains. Free yourself and fly away. Away from this battle before you die.”

One by one they stilled and used the metal battle claw covers I gave some of them they cut the chains away. Some stayed back to help others out but they all flew away eventually. I was left there to face them alone. I tensed my right hand and looked for my sword. When I found it I knew there was no way I’d be able to get to it. Beowulf must have
