The Cherrywood Cafwas busy as usual for the afternoon rush, the
servers running in between booths and tables, taking orders and
serving them. The customers talking amongst themselves, the servers
idly chatting with various people. No one of them really paying
attention to the gentlemen that sat in the back at booth nine. His
green eyes looking over the new paper, the front page cover story
about the explosion at the docks. He smiled and laughed, last night
had been a success. He relished in the fact that he had managed to
make such a huge impact in such short amount of time. He re-read the
article again while he waited for his lunch.
About half way through his lunch, he looked up to see a middle
aged man setting across from him in his booth. "Enjoying your
lunch, William?" He asked trying to act friendly. He eyed the
Hunter carefully, as he continued to eat his food. "The chicken is
a little burnt, but otherwise okay. Is everything falling into
place?" He asked pushing his plate to the side next to the paper.
William looked up at the werewolf that sat before him. He almost
laughed at the man sitting before him. He wanted to be the Alpha of
the Western territory. What William wanted was simple, he wanted
vengeance against the creatures who destroyed his life.
"Yes, I'm meeting with Luna, this afternoon."
"Good." William said as he reached into his coat pocket,
pulling out something wrapped in a red cloth. He motioned for him to
open it, reveling a dark green jade handled dagger.
"The blade is pure silver. It should to the trick." He said
smiling. "Kill the wolf, and I will worry about Alexandria. We both
get what we want." William said as he placed a twenty on the table
and got up, reviling just how tall and built he really was. "Enjoy
your meeting Wyatt, but before you go, why don't you get you
something to eat" He said as he turned to leave. "Call me when
it's done." Was the last thing William said as he left the caf
Wyatt huffed as he picked up the dagger, careful not to touch the
blade, he had been around long enough to know what happed to a
werewolf that touched pure silver. It was a painful experience,
causing a burn that would take weeks to heal. He smiled thinking
about how close he was to reaching his goal.
William stood outside the cafacross the street, watching Wyatt
as he examined the dagger. He didn't care for the creature, he was
just a means to an end for him. With one final look, he disappeared
in the crowed, on to his next task for the day. He smiled as he
headed towards the business section of the city. He grinned, trying
to imagine the look on Alexandria's face when he showed up. If he
played his cards right he would be getting rid of another obstacle in
his way.
Alex had just finished the last of her meeting for the day, with
the board of trusties. When her sectary knocked on her door, before
popping her head in. Alex looked up and smiled at her. "What can I
do for you Rosemary?" She asked tilting her head. "There is a
William here to see you." She said. Alex stood up from her desk,
her expression going from friendly to annoyed very quickly. "Send
him in, now." She ordered. She shut her eyes calming her nerves,
she opened her eyes as he walked in, a strange scent filling the
room, she wasn't sure what it was, but it was coming from him. She
placed her palms on her desk, holding herself up. She wasn't sure
how he was standing before her, she had driven a sword through his
heart. In a blink of an eye she stood before him. He was taller than
her, standing at 6 foot 8, while she was only 5 foot 8. He looked
down at her and smiled. He was taller and larger with muscles of a
boxer. Alex meet his gaze and didn't flinch. They had had several
run in's years ago when hunters were very active in the city. She
waited for him to make the first move. "What do you want?" She
asked never moving from her spot.
"I want Serena."
"Not going to happen, Why the bomb?"
"To draw certain players out and get rid of some obstacles."
He said smiling. Alex tilted her head to the side looking up at him,
her face impassive. "It didn't work obviously. The right hand is
still here." He motioned at her. Alex didn't say anything,
letting him talk. He always had a big ego when it came to her. He
hated her just as much as he loved to gloat to her. "You're not
even going to ask?" He questioned as he stepped around her to take
a seat in front of her desk. She growled in annoyance at him, looking
over her shoulder before turning around.
"I really could care less about how you're still alive. You
coming here, was stupid. Did you really think I was going to let you
walk out? You tried to kill me." Alex said moving forward slowly.
"You blew up a factory full of innocent people, and you come here
demanding Serena." Alex said stopping behind the chair and spinning
it around so they were face to face.
"No, I just wanted tell you, that everything you and the mutts
worked so hard for is fixing to come crashing down around you." He
said calmly, smiling. Alex's hands shot forward closing around his
throat, she gripped his neck hard enough to leave imprints. As she
tightened her grip harder he laughed, stunning Alex just long enough
for him to break her hold. He pushed her back and laughed, moving
forward, grabbing her by her shirt and pulling her forward, tossing
her effortlessly into the front of her desk. She looked up at him,
she shot forward her right fist connecting with his face. He quickly
blocked her left fist, pushing it way with his hand, and punching her
across the face with his right, knocking her back, blood dripping
from the corner of her mouth. She brought her hand up, touching her
lip the blood dripping onto her hand. She looked from her hand back
to him.
"I'm not the same man." He said coming back at her again.
She moved first blocking his punch, and landing a blow to his
stomach, followed by a kick to his mid-section. He doubled over, Alex
moved forward to strike again, but stopped in her tracks when he
started laughing and launched forwarded his arms grabbing her by her
waist and lifting her into the air, only to be smashed down into her
desk, breaking it in half stunning her. William knelt on top of her,
grabbing her by her hair and pulling her head up, slamming his fist
into her face repeatedly, each blow causing more blood to splatter
onto what was left of the desk and his hand. He stopped and let her
head fall back. He looked down at her bloody face, happy with his
handy work for the moment, he stood up pulling piece of cloth from
his pocket.
"Tell Serena I'll see her soon." He
said as he tossed the cloth on top of her and left her there blooded.
Once he was gone, rosemary came rushing into the office. She made her
way over to Alex, helping her to sit up. Blood dripped from her face,
Alex placed her head in her hands running them down her face,
whipping and smearing some of the blood. Rosemary helped her to her
feet, before running off to get a wet towel. Alex slammed her fist
into the wall, she was beyond pissed. She sighed and took out her
cell phone, firing off a quick text to Lilly, to meet her at home
ASAP. Rosemary returned, handing Alex the towel. "Thank you, you
can go home." Alex said as she wiped the blood off her face. "Are
you sure?" she asked. Alex nodded her head yes. "Have the
cleaning crew fix this first thing in the morning, I'm leaving for
the day." She said as she tossed the towel in the chair walking out
leaving Rosemary standing there, alone looking around at the
aftermath.
