Chapter 2

Rachel made her shaky way out of the bathroom after putting on a black tank top, blood still dripped from her marked neck but she looked satisfied. she sat between Imogen and May running her fingers through the big cat's fur

May nudged her head into rachels hand purring lightly but with her ears back, showing her mixed emotions. With caution due to her size she felt the need to be close to someone, anyone and rachel just happened to be their, she pawed at the girl.

Rachel smiled and playfully wrestled with the big cat "I guess you're still feeling weird arent you? dont worry I'm sure the master will find a way to help you"

May lay their after their play fighting, panting on the floor..the fur in her huge cat form made her very hot. I remember as a child things were terrible. but i suppose this time i have more control and more people whom i trust to take control if i lose it
Her huge ears pricked forwards and she fell silent, looking alert. Blood. I smell fresh blood moving this way when she had mentioned blood she meant people, new people being new blood.

Rachel tensed scenting the air, her senses werent as good as May's but she could still smell the new scent of colouge and sweat. her sword was all the way upstairs, these men were approaching to fast for her to grab it, and there were no weapons in this room. "shit" she hissed turning to May "we gotta get out of here tonight, they're starting to figure out where we are"

May snarled baring her teeth in the direction of the door. They'll be here soon, go..take imogen and our master and i'll hold them off the fur on her back stood on end and she growled again like any animal would defending their pack.

Rachel shook her head "no we're gonna go as a group or not go at all, lets get upstairs we'll be able to hold them off better." the demoness stood scooping Imogen up in her arms and waiting for May

May hesitated They'll trap us upstairs rachel..they'll catch us if we run she was torn between following her submissive side and her feirce instincts.

"they wont trap us up there, there's an escape route on the roof if we need it now hurry" Rachel's demonic side was fighting to come out again. her green eyes were now solid black and the runes pulsed rythmically on her arms

May nodded her muzzle and followed rachel quickly not murmering a sound. Her ears flickering as she picked up the fast approaching sounds.

Rachel led them to Illiana's room and grabbed her shotgun "May you and I can hold them off at the stairs, Illy if we get in trouble run with the girl"

May snarled flashing her claws out and baring her fangs Yes Rachel, anything May didnt know why but she was willing to do anything for the women in the room, they had saved her life.

Rachel loaded her gun and braced herself as the door burst open, evil monks like the ones from the game Resident Evil weilding scyths. magical fire balls tore through the house as three harpies broke in through the windows

May spun round as harpies tore through the windows. she growled loudly lunging for the beasts and tearing at one savagley.
 
Rachel open fired on the monks the bullets ripping deep into is chest but the others just kept coming

May yelped in pain as a harpie snapped at her but she refused to be beaten and refused to let her master and the other women get hurt because she failed in her duty. 

Rachel cocked her gun and fired into the harpie attacking May reciving a gash in return, a gash showed from her shoulder to her stomach. "Illy run" she yelled knowing the vampire would go to her home. But Illiana took Imogen out of the room ad into another part of the housr, not wiling to leave Rachel compleatly alone

May leapt at another beast tearing into it without mercy. she seemed to be running on auto and her usually amber eyes had red flecks in them. She was foaming slightly at the mouth and snarling savagly blood covering her usually pristine white and black spotted fur coat.

Rachel took a spear butt to the chest and fell pulling the trigger as she did, it hit a man in the crotch blowing his legs off. "May go with them" she yelled pulling men down and fighting hand to hand

May growled lunging for the men attacking rachel never, i will not leave you alone she didnt really care that she had just tore the huge harpies down and hadnt registered the blood being spilt but she was still foaming at the mouth and her eyes held more red.

Rachel grabbed a fallen sword after her gun was kicked out of reach

May looked up from her fallen victim, blood and skin hanging from her muzzle. Every step she took left blood red paw prints, she was panting harshly as she took a swing to the left hind leg and snarled in responce, going for the weapon wielding hand.

Rachel swung the sword wildly blood leaking into her eyes from a cut on her head, the blood was making it hard for her to see. she could tell by the yells of pain that she was hitting her targets but it seemed like they kept coming

May had morphed into her human in a flux of anger and was straddeling the dying man on the floor stabbing him repeatedly like a crazy woman. She had truly lost it. She rolled of the long dead man and spat a mouthful of blood on the floor moving and surprising the next beast who didnt expect her, she sliced his troat. The number of attackers was rapidly dropping and neither woman showed signs of giving up.
 
Rachel slew the last man and fell against the wall leaking blood "May its ok they're dead" she panted heavily to get her breath back. 

Illiana was holding Imogen away from the fighting, she semlled blood and felt her whole body catch fire, NO! She cried at herself, You can't lose control now. But her instincts were winning, she snarled at Imogen to stay put and hissed to herself as she melted into her vampireic form and dashed down the stairs faster than anyones eyes could follow, she saw them, bleeding on te ground, and Illiana was gone, now there was only bloodlust.
 
Rachel saw the monster that was Illiana's bloodlust decend from the stairs in a dark blur, acting on instinct she pounced the beast. her bleeding body pinned the vampire to the floor "May protect Imogen I'll deal with her" her strength was almost gone but she fought. "damn it Illy take from me"
 
Illiana sw he blood adn she sank her fangs into Rachel, but unlike the many times she had taken blood from her, this time there was no love, no kindness. She was a monster. She hadn't lost control this way in ten years and now she was lost. She shifted adn bit down again and in the back of her mind a voice was screaming, but so softly it was barely heard, YOUR KILLING HER!
 
Rachel whimpered as agony burned through her with every swallow, she had already lost alot of blood in the fight so she was on the edge. darkness blurred at the edge of her vision and she went limp on top of her friend, the gashes on her body stopped bleeding as she started to die
 
Suddenly a wave of hate washed over Illiana and she screamed as she shook away from Rachel, she huddled in a corner, her pale nightgown now prefectly maching her skin, blood dripped from her lips and she cried, sending eyeliner down her face. She looked at Rachel, lying there adn screamed, starting off as selfloathing and ending in a wail of pain
 
Imogen ran down the stairs hearing the commotion. She saw the mess, and rachel laying on the floor. She stopped and looked in dismay

Rachel coughed weakly "Imogen dont, you dont understand" her voice was soft showing that she was almost dead "you guys need to get out of here. those guys probably had others ready to help, go to my place Illy you know how to get in" she passed out with a thud

Illiana was huddled in the corner still, "Rachel..." She was trying not to move, she was weak with pain adn she couldn't risk Imogen fighting her. But Imogen jsut stood there not really knowing what was going on. she looked abot the rom trying to make sense of the situation while Rachel laid there unconcious only the sharp rise and fall of her chest showed she was still alive

Illiana slowly stood up and walked over to Rachel, "Imogen, i need your help" She siad softly. She hadn't ment for her daughtr to find out this way, bu they had t save her. Imogen looked at her blankly wating for the request as the sound of approaching vehicals filled the night, they needed to get to Rachel's apartment and hide 

"Shit, no time, here," She stod, and took Imogen's hand, "Hold on to me, adn hold on to Rachel, May, you take my ther side. I don't know if I can warp with this many people, but i'll try, hold on." She closed her eyes adn willed, adn opened them, "Yes!' they were in
