The piper is paid...(hiero)

Clothing after change

Gods damn it all she muttered while licking the blood off her lip and started the car, driving off into the night. Her hands moved over the keys as she dialed a number she knew by heart. The blood on her lip dripped off as she licked it again wishing it would stop already, those fangs really do cut very well. Shivering as chuckled a little while moving the phone to her ear as she heard a males voice on the other end.

"It is done..." She said her husky voice laced with a pride that never set there before. Her eyes glanced about as she drove on waiting to see if anything was to be said. pulling over in an empty secluded parking lot she slipped out of her shirt into different one. Letting her hair down as she let it move into waves to frame her face I have something for you."

She said as she drove started to drive again wondering if they would take the time to see her tonight. She may call Sabin and see if he would make a house call to give her a stitch or two on the deeper cuts since they were cause by a vampire.

Hiero glanced at his phone as an all too familiar ringtone chimed as his phone sprung to life vibrating its presence from beneath the discarded pile of clothing near the door to the bedroom. Sliding from the tangle of limbs doing his best to not disturb the wild hellion. Sighing he snatched at the pile reaching his phone before it disappeared into the land of voicemail.

"Yes..." he said responding to the ringing more than to the person on the other end. As she spoke the link between them flared into existence. He kept his shielding in place keeping her from knowing what was on his mind and heart. He was a man of his word and it was the space she needed. Even as the door between them was firmly held from his side of the line she was an open book. He felt the exhilaration as well as the other. The other was what came from and presaged the darkness. It was the shadow of light that demarcated the line between the woman he loved and the woman she felt she needed to be. He could accept the both of them but she had an issue with the duality.

"Thats good head to the clinic. I will meet you there. Marshall should be in your shadow have him close the circle. Speak to no one but me about what took place." He listened as she motioned in the car . He could hear clothe sliding over flesh. THat was good she was changing her look. It was probably a moot point as he'd taken steps by having Eliachem tied up with another matter. It had taken a good deal of subterfuge to get in contact with the vampire. Hiero wasn't proud of how he had done so but in a war there were casualties and as long as it was his shoulders that carried the weight he would take the loss of sleep. "I am proud of you."

He hoped that a successfully completed mission for the Pride would help Kasha reach the balance needed to be as strong as he knew she could be. That would yet to be seen and he would discern that when he clapped eyes on her in a few moments.

The sound of his voice started to chase the madness from her eyes as she smiled, feeling the calm of his voice wrapped around her. She felt at peace till she noted how he kept his voice low and then he blocked her from his feelings as if he was hiding something from her, he was holding out on her well damn. Fuck it, she was about done with it all she was tired of them. It flare to life again in her eyes again as cold laughter bubbled up from her stomach as she licked at the blood again. She sounded like her mother in that second as she swallowed it down, though its cold chill moved into her heart and help he freeze it. Her hands clinted into fist on the stiring wheel as she glared out into the night wishing she could relive that moment again. "Call Sabin please I will not have another bear touch me if I dont have too.' She hated the bears with a passion almost as much as she hated her heart. Yes she needed a stitch or two and some cleaning on her knee and all but still she would superglue the wounds first. And no one needs to know what happen this is between us my Rex. I dont know this Marshall."

Slowly she let the icy take over the part of her that he would feel as she finished getting dressed. Her newer blond hair fell around her face and made her smile since it was the something different she needed. She knew she ruined her chance for more fun from Elichem but she did what was ordered of her. Sighing as she nodded to no one around her as she felt tears touch her eyes when he told her he was proud of her until she tried to feel if it was the truth. She bit her upper lip to keep from calling him out on it and asking why. She did it without thinking as she let out a hiss of pain as the blood went from a trickle to a rivers flow. "Damn it that hurt...Yea I will see you there. I am only a half an hour from there if I decide to do the speed limit. " She let out her wicked chuckle as the phone slid into her lap. She drove to the Harvey house that she knew way too well...

He felt her flare of anger and merely sighed squeezing the bridge of his nose. Breathing in deeply he allowed a spark of his frustration at the flare and he was sure the profanities that colored her thoughts. He allowed his own frustration to meet hers. He was Rex she was tasked with a job and she finally fulfilled. He had extended patience and time, a flare of temper towards him was a smack in the face. He allowed a surge of majesty to flow through the ether towards her. Reaching down the line between them he left the weight of her error sitting as a weight on her chest. He didn’t apply pressure allowing merely the error of tone to say more than he would. "Do the speed limit. I have another doctor on call. Sabin will be in the loop soon enough as the Bears are his extended nest much like the Streak was once mine. Marshall is there he is the Khan of the Streak he has been keeping watch on certain things for me. He is the reason why your target was shield less. He might not show himself and attempt to maintain some distance but know that you are well covered. Always."

The exhalation of pain had its intended goal of making his ears prick up a bit more. He sought out the depth of her injuries through the metaphysical connection between them. Her spark was still vibrant though he knew that the vampire had done some superficial damage to her. He sighed slamming shut the shields between them. He wouldn’t burden her with his feelings on the matter. She would misconstrue his concern and care for her if he allowed her to see how deeply her pain moved him. She would be angry and rebellious when she didn’t feel the obvious outpouring it would simply be another straw to the camel’s back. "Twenty minutes be nice to the sleuth. They are our friends. Treat them that way." Disconnecting the call he looked towards the slim tantalizing form laying on the bed. She hadn’t turned towards him and had granted him the privacy of his phone call. He knew she was awake because of her breathing so he crawled into bed kissing his way along her leg to rouse her...

Content, peaceful, sated, happy that was pretty much just how Shay was feeling laying in the large bed. Curled up against a rather warm and protective body, namely her dear Rex sound asleep. Those slightly wavy locks flared out behind her as she slept, soundlessly, peaceful not even knowing of the phone call that would sound through the room. So when Hiero rose to answer she merely shifted and curled back up, most likely with his pillow. Remaining in her dreamstate and ignoring the world for now, not at all ready to be brought back to reality. Unfortunately, while both usually chose to keep their emotions locked away, it could still slip out here and there. So even while she might not of heard the phone call, she picked up on his emotions due to it.

Trying to not be rude and listen, Shay was awake wondering what had gotten him up, and had his emotions less than happy. Those dark eyes still closed, hope that whatever it was didn't turn out to be serious, she really didn't want drama right now. Lord knows the pack had enough, but if so she would deal with it as needed. Catching the tail end on his side before it appeared the call ended and she figured he would be leaving. But than felt the bed shift, his touch along her bare legs and smirked. Shivers washing over her body from just his touch alone and she couldn't help biting her lip. Both knowing she was awake and for a moment held off confirming it, before she shifted suddenly and grabbed him. Moving to try and pin him under her while capturing his neck with her teeth, yes Shaydra had a thing about claiming. Growling softly, only keeping that position a moment before pulling back and softly brushing her lips to his. "Not very nice of love trying to awaken me like that, so does this mean your leaving and our plans are changed?"

Leaning back up, her tone normal, neutral even and he would know she wasn't at all upset. Merely inquiring and waiting, her hand moving to brush his hair off his face, the smile never once leaving her face.

Wardrobe

“All’s fair in love and war sadly I do have to go… It’s about the latter. I have to make sure my Reperio is as safe as possible. Some things happened tonight. Rest up I’ll be back as soon as I can.” Taking her lips he used his strength to lift her into his arms rising off the bed. “Know its important otherwise I would never leave.” Lowering her down to the bed he kissed her deeply allowing his rising emotion to wash over them both before pulling away. Getting dressed in a hurry he was thankful that he’d started keeping an assortment of clothing here. Not daring to look back her naked form before he was completely dressed he slipped on a pair of driving glove and grabbed a pair of glasses off the dresser. He would be spending time with the Sleuth but the drive over anything might happen so it was better to have at least that much cover should he need it. Grabbing his phone back up he typed in the coded text for the Swan doctor who worked at Stroger’s .
