Hunted

I don't know what ahs happened...but i'll agree with Asuka being caught...hey, but being in a trunk of a car is a bit too much


Asuka

The phone rang continuosly as i opened my eyes. And when i did the first thing that i felt was a tight rope bounding my arms and legs as well that i was gagged.
It did not took time before someone else grab hold of it and insatntly turned off. I looked up and saw a number of people standing in front of me with an expression of success in their eyes.

Come on, guys, you seriosuly can't bound a woman like me i thought wondering what Theo is doing right now. Ha, he's hopeless if he's trying to experiment with Hinata.

They talked for a moment as i sat tehre bound to a chair on a small apartment.

Great... And i thought we were the villains i looked around before i spot my fan at the corner of the room. I know that they cannot get the chains out of it. Only a little concentration or a drip of my blood in order to control it and hence get out of this mess.


I looked up and saw a boy...well if it isn't vampire boy...He took the gagged off.

"Not so fast in healing now," he said as if it was a mock.

I looked at him curiously before giving him a smile.
"Well, i say, i guess you're right. Lucky for you that you're many." i stare at the fan and thought of an idea...it might be dumb unless he himself was dumb. There's no way, i will let myself be caught and disobey my sister's orders.

"Hey, could you do me a favor? I'm getting a little hot here, can you bring the fan here and give me some fresh air. A woman hates to stay on hot day."

Naomi-

I watched as Gale, Jack, and Jackie took to the skies. "So what do we do?" I asked.

"We can interregate the hunter," Deacon suggested and regripped his wooden swords. Alucard, Deacon, and I walked over to where Triston was guarding Asuka.

"Hey could you do me a favor? I'm getting a little hot here, can you bring the fan here and give me some fresh air? A woman hates to stay on a hot day."

"Do we really look that stupid?" Alucard asked.

Asuka shrugged. "It's not fair for me to judge."

Deacon tightened his grip on his swords and held one up. "Where did he take Hinata?"

"How should I know?" Asuka asked. Triston growled and grabbed her throat.

"You better talk."

"Or what? You're going to bite me? Make me immortal and forever a thorn in your side? Be my guest." Triston barred his fangs and moved closer to her neck. I turned and shuddered. He wasn't really going to do it was he?

"Triston, compose yourself," said Alucard and Triston let go of Asuka. I looked back, still pale.

"Once again, where's Hinata?" Alucard asked when Asuka's phone went off. She smirked and nodded down to the phone.

"If you want to find out, let me answer my phone."

**I hope this kind of tied it all together."

Deacon

We looked at each other, then back at Asuka, who simply smiled at them, "It's not going to ring forever, you know. He's impatient."

"We can't untie her." Alucard said.

"But answeringmight be the only way to find Hinata." I said.

Naomi managed to come up with a solution, simply stepping next to the hunter, fishing into one of her pockets, and pulled out the ringing phone before flipping it open. She held it to Asuka's ear, saying, "Find out where she is." Then Naomi hit the button for the loudspeaker, so we could all hear, "And that's all. You're on our time now."

I'm not sure about all this, I thought, Why would her boss care if she lived or died? Wouldn't we be more valuable than her? I won't deny that such thoughts were conceited, but weren't they also true? After all, it wasn't her being hunted, it was the rest of us. And I couldn't see our enemy giving up his prize for a mere servant of his.

I wish I could be of more help. We're wasting time here, waiting around for some indication of where she's being kept. Who knows where she could be now? I cursed myself for not going after her straight away. She might have been 'flown' off, but no higher than the buildings. And getting to the top of one of those using footholds and half-ruined exterior stairs wasn't difficult for me. I'd seen it done in enough films and the like.

The sound of a voice that I didn't recognize startled me out of my reverie. It was whoever was on the other end of the phone. "Asuka. What's going on? Who do you have with you there?"

*Oh yeah! We are onto our tenth page! Yay! WE RULE!*

Hinata

"Asuka. What's going on? Who do you have with you there?" Theo asked as she answered the phone.
It had been a few moments since Theo had regained consciousness and had received a text message, as soon as he had read it he called Asuka. I couldn't hear Asuka's reply however when she had finished Theo said, "Well that doesn't matter, Hunter wants to talk with you when you get back." A pause, "I know I'm not an idiot, I have the target with me right now. Hunter just told me to tell you to meet us at the base." He then said, "Yeah. Whatever."
He hung up and stopped to look at me, "I'm going to have to blindfold you now."
I tried to portray sarcasm through my eyes as I still couldn't control the rest of my body. I closed my eyes as a rough material was put over my head like a hood.

Theo

I was still fuming at Hunter for his offhandedness over my successful capture of Hinata. I mean, I had the girl knocked out and in my arms in seconds, not to mention defend myself from some great drooling beast.
I shoved the hood over the girl, tipping her over on her side with a shove to stop her from being able to get up quickly if she tried to escape.
"Asuka got captured," I said curtly with a sigh, shoving my hands into my pockets and looking at Hunter. He raised a hand and rubbed his chin, making scratching noises against the stubble that grew on it.
"No matter," he said in his deep voice, turning seawards and folding his arms behind his back. "I already have conceived a clever plan; one that none of the kids will see through." He laughed in praise of himself.
I sat back on the concrete beside the girl, after kicking Hinata over again when she attempted to crawl away. I leaned my arms on my knees, looking at Hunter's back with an expectant glare.
"The creature that chased you..."
"Uh huh?"
"Do you know who conjured it?"
I had to stop myself from saying, 'Violet's sister.' I shook the image of Violet's sweet face from my head, and nodded. "Girl named Peyton. Dream and nightmare manipulation."
"Ah yes. Well, we could use one of those creatures to our advantage." He turned around and I assume he expected me to gasp exaggeratedly and say, 'Eureka! You Genius!' or something. I shrugged indifferently; my usual response to everything.
"Think about it. If we can catch her, force her to create another... then I can use one of my many abilities to give it life. If we use it to get Asuka out of there... it will look like the girl Peyton is in alliance with us, as they have all seen the creature at her hand before. Of course, they would kill Peyton, if they suspect her to be a hunter. Then, we would kill them with Asuka restored to us." He laughed at his own brilliance, and I felt a sudden urge to push him off the building. He wouldn't look so clever if he broke his face in the street pavement.
"I shall get one of the other hunters on to forcing her to create another one of those monsters. You shall take Hinata back to base, and force her to conform and join us." He looked at the crumpled mess on the floor that was Hinata. "Give her a good thrashing for breaking my legs last time, would you?"
I gave him a curt nod, before lifting the girl and making my way to the dark, dingy halls that the hunters called home.

Asuka

I looked around the room for a moment after i had answere dth phone. Most of them were anxious to what had happened.

"Sorry, guys, it's a failure..." i shrugged a bit hungry

"Shut up, we can always threat you or force you to track them down..." Deacon said

"And what if i don't. You're going to ask vampire boy to bite me? Oh please, you don't know half to what i can do, pals..."

They were muttering for a moment and i looked around trying to see someone to chat and saw a girl who went to me with vampire boy.

"Hey, would you mind to give me some food. I'm a little hungry here,"

"Naomi don't listen to her. What do you think we are, Asuka, dumb?" Alucard exclaimed.

"I'm not saying you're dumb. I'm simply saying that i'm hungry that's all. BEsides if you really want to find her from me...why not feed me first? I'm starving here."

"then we'll starve you to find Hinata..."

I shook my head. "ANd you call yourself a gentleman. Oh well, i'll stay silent then. I'll just count the number of times each of your foot move." i said happily as i tap my foot and waited.

Don't worry, Hunter will find a way to bring me back...I do not want to disobey my sister's orders but then again, it would be nice to know what kind of person hunter is with me being captured.

ok, Alucard is not cruel. In no way will he ever be cruel. He wont make jives at you or anything hell simply ask questions. And Dhampirs cant make more vampires. Since they arent full vampire their poison will make your blood boil and you will die. Alucard, since he is more powerful can control the minds of those he bites for a short amount of time. Dont change anything, just know that for future reference.

**I'm sorry riders. I don't know much about dhampirs.**

Naomi-

"I don't see the harm in giving her a little bit of food. I have a granola bar in my pocket," I said.

Deacon didn't look too thrilled, but I really didn't care. If we wanted to find Hinata, Asuka was our only chance. And starving her to death wasn't going to help with anything.

I pulled the bar out of my pocket walked up to her.

"Aren't you going to untie me so I can eat?" she asked.

"No. There's nothing wrong with being fed is there?"

"I can bite you."

"Go ahead. I really won't care." There was a flash of amusement behind Asuka's eyes as I broke the granola bar into bits and fed her each piece. We may not like her very much for trying to kill us, but we're supposed to be the good guys. Right?

**foxfire, I hope Naomi's carefullness doesn't seem dishonorable to your character.**

Gale~

As I searched the skies in vain I sighed to myself. This was pointless. Why did I chose raven wings? It was so hard to fly, I'm sure my wings were misshapen. I could barely stay up, and when I did I went to high. And had to lower myself, but I almost crashed a few times.

"Any luck?" I called to Jackie over the wind. As I flew by her, than sunk a few feet. I quickly rose and started to glide by her.

"No." she called back. This was hopeless I thought. That's when I noticed Jack soaring in circles, a couple of yards away, as if he was trying to tell us something.

Jackie

I hadn't seen anything so far, neither had Gale, but above us we saw Jack soaring in circles, as if he wanted to tell us something, but over the wind we couldn't hear him.

The wind was getting stronger and stronger, and it was getting harder for us to fly.

I still had the advantage of my giant wings, but Gale seemed to become tired.

Both of us tried to fly towards Jack without much luck.

"Gale? Should I help you?" I asked. Being friendly always helps you to find friends, right?

"Uhm. Its OK." she answered.

Just then another big blast of wind blew into our faces, and Gale was pushed back a little.

I turned, caught hold of the raven, and tried to fly on.

Although I was only carrying a raven, it made it harder for me to fly.

Above us the sky was getting dark, as if it would start to rain, and you could even smell the moist in the air. A big storm was coming on.

Meanwhile, Jack had turned, and flew towards us.

Naomi-

"I hope they're alright up there," I whispered and looked up to the great columnus storm clouds that were rolling in.

"We need to find someplace else to go. We can't stay here," said Peyton.

"She's right. Does anyone know of an apartment that hasn't been discovered by hunters?" Triston asked.

"There's always the sewers," Deacon shrugged.

"What?" I asked, disgusted by the very mention of the New York sewers. We couldn't go down there.

"It's shelter," he said, and what was worse, many of the others seemed to agree.

Peyton

My eyes flashed open, a lengthy gasp of horror escaping from my throat as the whole world came flooding back in horrible detail. My eyes were wide with shock and fear as the reality hit me, hard.
That can't have just happened... I went over it in my head. It was still there.
That horrifically clear moment in my head when I had lost conciousness... and used myself to keep the creature alive outside of the nightmare.
I had became the creature. I had saw through it's beady crimson eyes, breathed through it's tangled mouth and flew on it's snappy, leathery wings. I had even felt it's pain as the hunter sent it hurtling down to the street below...
Deacon and Naomi were leaning over me curiously, waiting for me to wake up. They leaned back a little at my expression.
It wasn't the fact that I had taken over the creature that truly terrified me... it was the person I had fought in the rooftop that did.
He looked so familiar it scared me. Just like the smug faced guy from the hospital... I went over his face again and again in silence, looking up at Violet's totally unconcerned face with shock. He looked so similar to that guy, but from behind the twisted eyes of the beast it was hard to tell. I wasn't sure, but my mind desperately searched the monster's last memories for some kind of proof.
I found nothing.
"V-Vi?" I whispered, so quietly I assumed she either didn't hear me or was ignoring me. I tried again, and she looked down at me with such a sharp look that I flinched away from it. I wouldn't ask her now, not in front of everyone.
Wordlessly, Deacon and Naomi lifted me by taking and arm each and pulling me to my feet. I stretched myself experimentally; the only part that seemed to hurt was still my head.
"Peyton, what happened?" Deacon asked with a frown, knowing something was up. I opened my mouth but closed it again very quickly, giving a small shake of my head.
The pressed their questions for a while, all the time I refused to answer. I stood quietly behind everyone else as they discussed their plans.
I looked up, my noise wrinkling in disgust when 'sewers,' were mentioned.
"I just want to go home..." I said quietly, sounding like a lost little girl. My usual happy, optimistic side was gone. I didn't want to stay with these people and think about horrible things. I wanted just to get lost in a happy dream and forget the nightmares of today...
I turned and walked away from the group, not knowing what to say to them. I turned the corner with a sniff and headed straight for home as the rain began to lash out angrily on my back.
I knew they wouldn't follow me anyway, so I never checked over my shoulder as darkness descended on New York. I wish I had.

Theo

I almost felt sorry for the girl as the two other hunters left base to find her. She was in for a vicious beating if she wouldn't conjure another creature. One of the hunters sent out for her was so powerful, she had to have another hunter with a nullifying ability incase she got out of control. The abililty to give life and death was an amazing and dangerous one.

Jaden, I was talking about Asuka's posts not your own

Asuka

From where i was bound, i saw that they were talking about something. I know i cannot quite hear but what do i care. I had noticed that one of them were injured or some sort and were taking time. Heh, this is my chance.

The fan was just at the corner if i could simply reach to it put a drip of blood, it will activate. I moved sideways tying to avoid their attention. It too me a while and each time the chair move, i stopped to looked out for them.

Finally, the fan was just beside me. I leaned sidewards and bit my lip until there was blood and thre it at the fan. Two times i had missed until finally the fan opened and the spike chain flew out ripping out the ropes that bound my hands. I untied my feet as fast as possible and headed to a back room.

"Where do you think you're going?" i stopped and look back. Alucard was standing behind me with a narrow stare .

"GOing home actually. I really needed a bathe." i said sarcastically as i preapred my fan. I opened it and tried to strike him. He moved sideways before he could strike me.

I leap back defending with my fan and each step was closer to teh door. It won't be long before reinforcements come so i need to hurry.

I opened my fan and out of it were two chains headed at each side of him. That distracted for a moment before i went out of the door and slammed it just before he could catch me.


*Sorry about that...

... and he would never bite anyone...
