No Stone Unturned

As soon as You walked in, powerful arms wrapped around You, the fur of her puffy mink coat shoving itself into Your face and the Joyful yelp of Belle, all collided with You.

"H-Hey, Belle." You said, slightly taken off guard, Belle jumped off of her feet, causing You to catch her tone body in Your arms

"Master, OMG I've missed You sooooo much, I've been so busy with Moonie that I haven't been able to visit My Owner, I do hope that You haven't been hiding from meeee!" Belle screeched, a flurry of emotions flying across her beautiful face, her lips planting themselves on every part of Yours

"Hiding... I saw You yesterday... and I may be Your Master, but calling me Your owner is going a little far isn't it?" You said, slightly overwhelmed by her enthusiasm, Belle grinned widely, Her hair was wavy today, flowing from the sides of her fancy, brown fur cap.

"Oh Master, You're so silly, I'm Your bitch, I'll always be here for You, I'll talk to You, fuck You, Love You always... In fact, You look a little down, what's wrong, have You had enough to eat, Aren't You happy to see me?" She said, Her crimson eyes flashing as she pouted childishly... You looked at her for a moment... and found Yourself smiling

"You know what, I am happy to see You, actually." You said, honestly after all that had been going on, all the complex and convoluted events that currently ensnared Your unlife, Isabelle Harlow; her simple smile and utter devotion, was probably just what You needed. Belle squeaked with joy, holding onto You tightly as You descended a couple of steps into the Cave.

Wow... the place was... clean, like spotless, it wasn't exactly dirty before, but now everything looked organised, well kept "I hope You liked what I've done with the Place, needed a woman's touch don't ya think?" Belle said as You gently let her down to Her feet

"So You cleaned up the place, I have to say, You did a really good job!" You said happily, Belle nodded excitedly "Since our search for Your attackers came up dry, I thought that I might as well make myself useful."

"So You lost em huh, well they did seem to be able to evade even my senses, I'm sure they will pop again sometime. I have to say though, Belle, You did a really good job here..." You paused, sniffing at the air... it smelt like... hot, wet Fur?

"Myska." sat beside the **** cabinet, was the heavy form of Boris... only... He looked, wrong. "Boris?" You said, moving over towards him. The Man that looked like Boris, was not suited, not collected and powerful, but boney, weak and gaunt of face, his eyes were shallow and dark, his hair faded black hair grey loose across each side of his face.

He wore baggy gym clothes and slouched wearily over the table "Privet... I apologise, for My look, Myska." He said, smiling weakly at You. Pulling up a chair beside him, You looked at him worriedly

"What happened, You look..."

"Like shit, Da, I feel like it too." He said, gesturing to the Cabinet, You nodded to Belle, who quickly went to pour You both a drink, Boris did not yet speak until he had sipped the vodka on the rocks that Belle had made for him, after that He coughed slightly, clearing his throat and resting his eyes on You

"It is nearly Its time." He said softly, You raised an eyebrow

"Time for..." You started, He nodded, taking another sip of his drink

"I have been making preparations over past week, ensuring that My precautions would hold before My transformation," Boris said, frowning grimly "My body grows weaker on the eve of It's coming... while It gets stronger. I should be in My Chamber, being here is dangerous... but You have a right to see for Yourself." Boris said, staring with his sunken eyes, a light flare of fierce monstrosity flashing in them for only a moment, before they softened again.

"Very Well." You said, smiling at Boris as brightly as You could muster, You rested a hand on his shoulder "We will go wherever You need, right away, I just need to tell Rose... and if You're okay with it, I would like Belle to come with me." You asked, Belle, smiled at Boris, who grinned weakly in return

"Alright then, Give me the word, and we will go," Boris said, looking as happy as a man who was being eaten away from within could muster.

You found Rose in the kitchen, fiddling around with Her Alchemy equipment with a smile on her face, she turned her head to You, pointing that heart-melting grin at You as Her eyes burned with passion "You are off with the Berserker then, Beloved?" She said as You drew in, kissing her cheek and deepening Her smile

"I had come to tell You, but those ears are too sharp for me huh?" You said with a grin, Rose shrugged, before touching Your face

"Be careful, his Kind are difficult to control." She said, turning back to Her table

"You're not interested in coming with?" You asked Rose shook her head

"I must prepare for Diana's coming, I have much for Her to learn. I will inform Her of where You have gone, don't be late for training, don't think that I'm going to let up on You because I am in Love with You." Rose said, turning her head to wink. You felt a warmth inside of You, having Rose's confidence and care in You was all that You wanted and needed, and so You slid your hands around her waist, kissing Her neck gently

"Miss getting one step closer to beating You, I don't think so. Listen... do you remember... Kvasir?" You asked, Rose looked up at You, eyebrow raised

"The Travelling blooded Vampire Scholar, yes, what about Him?" She really didn't remember, Casey was telling the truth... whether that was good or bad, You had no idea

"I have just been thinking about finding some more of his books, nothing important. Listen I've got to go, I love You." You said, Rose's eyes narrowed, but she smiled

"Go safely, Beloved." She said, watching as You left the kitchen with a smile on Your face.

"B-But it's daytime!" Belle said nervously, after hearing that You wanted to go straight away

"Well it's the afternoon, and it's cloudy, so no need to fear getting sunburnt... but if You want to stay here then?-" Belle sprang up at You words

"No, no I'll... I'll go with You, I just... I can't explain it." she stumbled, Casting her beautiful brown eyes nervously over towards the double doors.

You frowned "Have I forgotten already... that deep feeling of unease when even the possibility of being near sunlight comes... I don't even know if that's a good or a bad thing?"

DEFINITELY A BAD THING, HORRIBLE, UNNATURAL SUNSHINE BULLSHIT!

"Oh so you're talking to me now?"

HUH... NO?

"Well, You just did."

NO, I DIDN'T...

"Yes, You did."

NO-I-FUCK YOU!

Stifling a prideful smile, You took Belle into Your arms, who started slightly as she had still been staring at the door, Belle always seemed to have this kind of mist in her eyes, like she was in a kind of adoring trance, it had this strangely dual nature to it, You liked it... but it also made You feel very guilty, "We can talk along the way, if You feel at all overwhelmed then we will duck in somewhere dark, okay?" You said with a smile, Belle, of course, flushed deeply, hugging You tightly

"You're so kind, My Master, Are You sure that we can't have a quickie before we go?" Belle whispered, Your eyes flicked to Boris, who raised an unamused eyebrow

"Ummm... Maybe later, Bella. Come on Boris, let's get going." Boris nodded, hoisting himself weakly from his chair, as You and Belle prepared to follow him out into the dying daylight.

"We are going!?" Said Jackie, poking Her sister instantly. Jane did not move, she did not speak, she simply grunted with annoyance, eventually covering her head with Charlie's pillow, it still smelt a little of him... "Jane, come on, You have to start leaving this stupid Dorm for something other than classes!" Jane's older sister commanded, poking Jane's limp form through the covers, but to no avail, Jane did not like to leave the Golden suite, she did not like to clean it, or change anything from when Charlie was there, why did Jackie insist on bothering her, all she wanted to do was remember Her... vanished, boyfriend in peace.

Jane eventually felt Jackie, peel away the covers from her, Her pretty brown face smiling warmly at Her little sister, Jane was crying again, she couldn't help the tears, didn't have the energy to sob anymore, and so she would cry silently, but Jackie wiped away Her sister's tears, touching Her round cheeks softly

"Laying here all day isn't going to bring him back, Jane..." Jackie whispered, Her soft green eyes looking into Jane's brown orbs, She brushed one of her bushy brown hairs from her face and pulled Jane's glasses from the side, cleaning them and setting them lightly on Her little sister's face "Come for a walk with me, Janey... please?" She asked softly, Jane huffed, straightening her Glasses and sitting up straight, her face still cold and dark as Jackie smiled "Yes, alright now, let's get You in the shower, huh, You're a mess!" Jackie exclaimed happily, picking Jane up and pulling Her out of bed.

Jane allowed Her sister to clothe Her, feeling Jackie pull the loose cardigan over her head and taking Her hand "You ready?" She asked lightly, Jane looked up at Her and nodded weakly, that was all Jackie needed, pulling Her along and out of the Suite.

Jane wasn't exactly listening to Her older sister spout the family gossip, Jane made an effort to avoid Her family at the best of times... it was something she and Charlie had in common... but she supposed that being out in the fresh air was all that bad, it kept Her mind off of things, just strolling and taking in the comfort of the chilled afternoon, it was cloudy today, so not that warm, but she couldn't help but feel her spirits lift at Her Older sister's enthusiasm

"I'll tell You what Janey, Africa is such a great place, the People are so honest and kind, I'm doing a lot of good, plus You wouldn't believe what our family is like up there, nothing like mom and dad!" Jackie exclaimed, Her eyes flickered to Jane "You know... You could come back with me?" Jackie asked, Jane actually... smiled a little

"You would want me to go with You?" Jane asked

Jackie grinned excitedly "Of course I would, it would just be me and You, just like when we were kids, partners in crime!" Jackie said it with Hope like it might actually happen, except... Jane's smile vanished, as they walked through the quiet streets

"What if He comes back?" Jane said in a soft tone, Jackie's smile slowly faded, becoming something more of an appreciative glance

"Look... I'm not like Mom... if You want to wait for Your boyfriend, then I won't stop You, b-but have You ever thought about trying something more than just laying there like a potato?" Jackie said, stopping to look at Her sister in front of a Cafe, Jane fiddled with Her fingers

"I'm just a Girl, Jackie... I'm not like You, I just.." Jackie flared at Her little sister, taking both of Her arms

"Don't You ever say that. You're my sister, My glorious blood runs in Your veins and My Blood is all the fuel You need!" Jackie said, shaking Jane insistently

"I don't know Jackie... I can't think straight, I can't eat properly, I can't sleep, I'm just so Angry... all the time." Jane professed, but Jackie only grinned

"Angry is good." Jackie said fiercely "Angry, Gets. Shit. Done." Jane's sister had that fire in Her eyes, the very same that Jane herself knew that she had at one point... but was she right, could Jane really do anything to find Charlie, was she even capable of doing such a thing, she wasn't even sure that she was stable half the time, but... it was worth a try right?

"Y-You're right Jackie," Jane said, smiling weakly at Her sister who grinned even wider

"You're damn right, I'm right, I don't remember a time I was god damn wrong!?" Jackie cried, pulling Jane into a hug, Jane smiled a little as Her sister squeezed Her, she even laughed some, but...

When she looked at the man across the street, she didn't think much of it, He was tall, had dark curly hair just like Charlie's, except his hair, was Black, Charlie's was a just a very dark brown... plus He was with an immensely beautiful woman, her hair soft and brown, a very expensive mink coat that she covered herself with as she looked around nervously... the other man, however, was all too familiar "Boris?" But it couldn't be him, He was too thin, and he looked all shabby but-

Jane gasped, stepping forward and pushing Jackie out of the way, She was wrong, it couldn't be, He looked just like him though, those Golden eyes, his cute face... He looked back at Her, His face twisted slightly as His golden eyes widened

"J-Jane, what is it, what's wrong!?" Jackie asked Jane shook furiously, turning back to Her sister and grasping Her shoulders

"It's... It's... over there, LOOK!" Jane said, pointing Her sister to where the Tall, dark Version of Charlie was standing across the street

"What, what is it!?" Jackie asked, looking around... But he was gone, the Mink Woman and Boris look-alike also. Jane's fists balled as she looked around, eventually clutching her head

"That. is. it!" Jane said furiously, grabbing Jackie's arm and dragging Her off

"Janey, Janey what the hell is going on!?" Jackies asked Jane gritted her teeth angrily

"You are going to help Me find him before I loose My fucking Mind!" Jane exclaimed the fire in Her eyes renewed, Her older sister complaining as She dragged Her along. She would find Charlie, dead or alive, no matter the cost!

"M-Master?" Belle said

You had pulled the two of them into an alley, pushing Belle up against a wall as Your eyes shone with panic "What's wrong, Master?" Belle asked, but You could not speak, could not move "It was Jane... she saw me... shit!" You thought, Boris tilted his head

"Myska... what that... Miss Watson?" Boris asked You turned to him, teeth bore

"Don't." You commanded, Boris folded his arms, but before You had another moment to speak, Your felt Belle rubbing her waist against Yours, Her large breasts pressing hard against Your chest

"Hmmm, Master... You're so close, it's getting me all excited!" She said, biting her lip with Her sharp white teeth, You backed off, a deep frown on Your face, She folded her arms and screwed up her face "Oh come on, You are such a Tease, what's wrong!" Belle said grumpily, You shook Your head

"Nothing... Let's just get going." You said looking to Boris, who seemed to look through You, examining the panic inside with clarity, but He seemed to not want to bring it up now

"Da, we must get to My chamber Before nightfall," Boris said, though his eyes never left You. Shit... she looked right at You, You had a feeling that she might appear at some point, but not now, not when You weren't prepared

UMMMM....

"Not a god damn word."

You had to press on, there were things to do now, friends that came first, goals You had to fulfil, but You would get to Jane, that was One stone that You refused to leave unturned.
