Grant could faintly smell Piper, and it still amazed him how he could track her scent. Normally his senses were not this good, but with Piper it was different. It was like he was entirely attuned to Piper, like no matter where either of them went they could always find each other. Grant walked for as long as he could track her, when the trail suddenly went cold. Grant sighed, and seeing no other choice, he pulled out his phone and called Nora.
"Nora this is Grant. Have you seen Piper? Normally I would just let her go, I am not trying to be possesive, but as it is a full moon........"Nora told him.
"Piper called me a while ago and told me that the bunker we usually use has been severly damaged. I sent a car for her and she is at Vladimir's house in the cage on the property. It's been used for werewolves for at least a century. She is safe."Grant shook his head.
"That is well and fine. Thanks...I guess."Grant hung up and pocketed his phone, growling. Nora was becoming more of an annoyance than before. She was a constant source of irritation for him now, hard to believe not too long ago he was naked in her bed. Grant nearly laughed out loud at the thought. Grant walked slightly farther until he was able to hail a taxi, and gave directions to his masters house. He would have ran, but a sit was late and he was tired, he would rather just accept the ride. Being a vampire, yes he was a creature of the night, but he was not immune to fatigue.
When Grant finally arrived at his masters manor. Not having any money, Grant reached over and knocked out the taxi driver.
"Stay here and keep the meter running. I will not be long."Grant laughed at his corny joke, and walked up to the manor. He knocked loudly.
The butler opened the door and said,
"The master is expecting you in the parlor." Once Dracula saw Grant he grinned like he was holding the royal flush in a card game.
"I can only assume you know Piper is here?"Grant knelt and crossed his arm over his chest and hand over his heart.
"Yes master I apologize for disturbing you over a personal strife, but I was slightly worried. Also I have a mission update, for I would not come without good news. I have contact with a resource, and I shall be in contact with Miss Sasha by tomorrow, two days at the latest. As usual I will take care of my objective with the highest amount of discretion. But back to the matter at hand. May I see Piper?"Dracula smiled.
"Of course." He picked up his keys and lead Grant out into the tunnels and took him down to the cage. He was arrogant as usual but even he seemed a little shaken to see the irons busted and the cage door broken. Piper was gone and with any luck not near anyone.
"It seems she has escaped.....that is very very bad." Dracula saw the exit door was ripped off of it's hinges. He left Grant there and told him
"If you value your life you should come back to the house. She will be fine."Grant nearly followed his master, when he realized Dracula had left him a small window. He said IF. That was not a direct order. It did not matter to Grant if it endangered him, and even if Piper was not endangered others might be. He had to go after her. Grant sighed. How did life get like this, Grant thought to himself. Grant walked out the door with broken hinges and sniffed the air, then looked at the ground. He could see her tracks, and saw the direction they were headed in. Grant also caught wind of Pipers scent, and followed in suit.
Piper had wasted no time on the cage. Even though it was electrified she tore through it and broke out of the tunnels through the access door. Once outside she lifted her nose and headed out to the front of the house where she saw the cab driver and he appeared to be sleeping. She was so fast that his screams weren't able to reach their high point before he was dead. His blood was all over the door. She had just ripped him right out of the car and started to eat him.
Piper heard something and she went after it, leaving the remains of the cab driver on the ground next to his car. Piper ran off into the woods after whatever she actually heard.
Grant ran around to the front, catching the horrid sight of the mostly eaten cabbie. Grant ran over to him and knelt in front of him, eyein the bite marks and patterns. He made a mental note of the patterns, making sure he would recognize them if he saw them later.
"My apologize good sir. This is my fault. If I bother to remember later I shall give you a proper funeral and send you off with last rights."Grant caught the scent of his soul mate again, and he took off in her direction.
Piper was running after a deer in the woods. She was gaining on it and then she tackled it to the ground and started to rip it apart. Covered in blood she raised up and howled loudly. To anyone else's eyes she would have been an incredibly horrific sight.
Grant found Piper mid-howl. She was in full Lycan form, and looked as if she was in mid feeding. Grant stealthily climbed up a tree and hung off a thick branch above Piper.
"Piper! Cease your Beastly activities at once!"Piper looked up and saw him in the tree. In her lycan form she couldn't climb the tree to get to Grant. She was feral and suddenly she caught his scent and something changed. Piper didn't have control over her lycan form but she ran in the other direction to keep him safe from her. Something inside of her recognized him.
Grant sighed and jumped from branch to branch, sometimes swinging sometimes just landing on the trees and bouncing off. He did this for a few tree's until he caught up with Piper, then leaped off a tree. He landed on her back, wrapping his arms around her neck.
"Piper! I must seriously insist that you cease and desist your current path. Havent you sated your blood lust already? Grant looked up at the moon.
"Cursed moon."Grant pulled out a small capsule, bit into it letting its contents wash over his fangs, then bit into piper. He had just bit into a small muscle relaxer with the strength the size of the chrysler building.
Piper turned and flipped him off of her slamming him into a tree and ran off deeper into the woods. Piper was not in control of her wolf it was in complete control. She ran into a farm house and the farmer shot her in the arm because she was slowing down with the tranquilizer. She slashed the man across the chest and left. His barn door was open and all of the animals inside were dead. Piper got away from there and back into the woods. She found a cave and crawled into it as she fell asleep.
Grant walked over and checked on the farmer. He could smell he was close to death, so he made a split second decision. He leaned down and made the farmer a vampire. He ran over to the barn. He could see all the dead animals, and sighed in dissapointment. Grant followed the tracks and scent piper left behind. He eventually found the cave and found Piper. He sat on the ground next to her, stroking her hair.
Piper was asleep but she sensed he was near. Even in her lycan form she knew his scent and she didn't want to attack, she moved closer to him and put her head in his lap while she slept.
Grant closed his eyes and fell asleep, Piper in his lap.
