"So, you"ve taken the contract?"
Serana couldn"t stand being snuck at from behind as she watched Amaund Motierre and his guard leave. The fact that the one who snuck on her was Jon made it even worse since Serana was sincerely p.i.s.sed at the moment.
"b.a.s.t.a.r.d!"
"Woah!"
Different from her aloofness, this Serana seemed to be aggressive and on fire.
"Cute little fangs… what has gotten into you?" Jon evaded her claws with ease.
"You! b.a.s.t.a.r.d! You! Put! That! Thing! In! Me!" She said as she vigorously attacked him with her claws left and right.
"I am sure I didn"t." Jon held his laughter as he replied.
"LAIR!"
"If I ever did, you would be thanking me by now."
Serana stopped as she furrowed her eyes.
"What are you talking about?" She asked in confusion.
"The thing I put in…" Jon was about to reply as he pointed towards his thing but he became confused midway, "What are you talking about?"
Serana traced where Jon was pointing and looked at him with unamused eyes.
"Whoops!" Jon replied with a sly smile.
Serana immediately stopped her tantrum and turned away as she transformed into a swarm of bats and flew away from him.
"Being upset, huh? Alright. Let"s see how long you can play." Jon sneered and immediately started flying after her.
Serana"s flight speed was much higher than Jon"s since her innate ability of a Vampire Lord was so powerful but Jon compensated for the speed difference between flying and levitating by overcharging his Magicka.
As the two flew, Serana noticed Jon"s presence drawing closer and it suddenly became dangerous to stay.
*Buzz*
A blade of Aura flew past her swarm form as it almost put a wound on her which caused Serana to pause her flight and focus on where it came from.
Jon was currently hiding in the night sky between the fog and clouds and his presence became distorted.
"Come out!" She shouted.
"STRUN BAH QO!" Jon replied but his voice echoed in the sky and made it go upset.
Serana looked left and right and felt the agitation in the weather while trying to remember what those words meant. She knew that in the Dragon Language, STRUN means Storm and BAH is probably Anger which means…
*CRACKLE*
Serana always knew that Thunder would always come after Lightning but this time, she witnessed it all up close as a storm was suddenly brewing in the clouds around.
"You madman!" She uttered in fear.
"Bingo!" Jon replied as he was right behind her.
She looked behind but the horror she saw was that of a dragon head staring down at her through the clouds. Lightning struck again and the heavens were illuminated with the sight of Jon standing where that mirage of a Dragon was.
The bolt of lightning rushed towards Jon as he raised his fist and descended towards Serana.
Serana raised her arms in a desperate defense.
The Lightning hit Jon"s fist and…
*BOOM*
"Thunder Cookie!"
The heaven turned silent and the storm was shattered.
Jon created a storm with his voice and shattered it with his bare hand. The fist which he used to do so just pa.s.sed Serana"s head and its force exploded an inch away from her.
She fell into a complete mess… and she lost all her power to fall down from the sky.
Jon, whose hands were still smoking, watched the vampire girl fall from the sky with cold eyes before he gave a long sigh.
"That was the stick… and this is the carrot."
Jon disabled his spell and made a free fall right after her. Fixing his aerodynamics, he caught up to her in mere seconds.
Seeing how she lost her strength and gave up on facing him, he knew he finally got to her.
Serana may be a cute millennium-old vampire girl but deep in her head, she is someone who suffered and developed a rebel personality.
He held her west as they fell and their long hair fluttered behind them as the world turned upside down in a scenery where they swirled together as if dancing on a floor made of stars.
Jon didn"t let go and she opened her eyes once she felt him.
"Do you hate me?" He asked.
"…" Serana didn"t reply and gave up on resisting him.
"I don"t own you, Serana, I don"t control you."
"Really?" She finally spoke as she asked.
Her att.i.tude was a sign of her displeasure with what Jon did to her by putting a piece of Gluttony inside her head. She, who suffered from the Blood Parasite the most, is the last person who wants to be exposed to that thing again.
"I"ll make it up for you." Jon said and exposed his neck to her.
Serana was aware of how dangerous Jon"s blood can be since he has a bizarre ability to control his own blood even if it goes outside his body. The ability makes him the bane to all vampires. However, his blood was something that can"t be compared to the blood of any other mortal.
She took Jon for his offer and as she took a bite, the two of them continued falling down the sky all the way down into the Karth River, right next to Dragonbridge.
The storm has long since settled but the rain continued to fall during the night and the two barely made it out of the river. Serana was crawling on her knees and Jon walked out of the river right after her. There was no one but them on the rocky riverside.
"… Monster…" She said as she looked back at him.
He stood over her with a smile of victory as blood dripped on his unusually long fangs. Jon"s eyes took a different shape as well before suddenly turning back to normal.
"Wanna celebrate?" He lifted her up and pulled her closer.
"Do I get to choose?" She asked as she dug her claws through this shirt into his skin.
"Sadly, I am getting hard already." He replied as he held her a.s.sa.s.sin robes from the shoulders.
Serana tore his shirt from the front drawing 10 lines of blood over her skin and watching it closely. Jon completely tore her robe and left her nude.
Serana jumped on Jon and hugged his waist with her legs.
"I won"t lose again." She said.
"HA!" Jon laughed and looked the seducing vampire in the eyes, "You sure about that?"
She who decided to mate with him on a whim seemed too confident this time so she nodded.
"Knock knock!" He said.
She narrowed her eyes before replying.
"… Who"s there?" She asked but just a moment after, her eyes were wide open with shock.
"Big Boy Dare!"
***
After a minor earthquake hitting Hjaalmarch last night, Jon and Serana decided to stop lazing around under the blue sky and near the river.
Jon was enjoying a little sunbath as Serana laid down in the shadow not far from him.
"You didn"t have to tear my clothes into halves. I am not good at mending things that are damaged."
"It was worth it."
"What was it?"
"Seeing your b.o.o.bies wiggle." Jon winked.
"You"re the enemy of all women indeed." She sighed.
"Who said that?" He asked.
"I"ve heard things when I went around investigating who you really are… as a person, I mean."
"Things?"
"You… having a lot of lovers."
"I wouldn"t call them lovers." He said, "Just some fellow Dibella enthusiasts."
"People said a lot of things." She added.
"All these women would thank me, you know."
"What about the men?" She asked.
"EWW!" Jon almost covered his body, "G.o.d NO!"
"I meant the men who settled in with these women afterward. They hate you." She said.
"They can try the Troll Marrow Extract. I have no secrets regarding that." Jon said.
"Yeah… the men would go extinct hunting trolls." Serana replied sarcastically, "Or will it be the trolls?"
"Neither is my problem. I use Dragon Marrow Extract now." Jon laughed as he started to stand up and put on his pants.
As he did so, he noticed some people hiding behind the rocks of the river. These happened to be some girls from the nearby town of Dragonbridge who came down to do the laundry.
"Ladies!" Jon smiled.
Most of the girls cried in shame and covered their faces as they started running back to town.
"They"ve been watching you for half an hour now." Serana added.
"I always welcome the audience." Jon winked, "But I"m afraid this includes our meeting today. You vented your frustration and s.e.xual tension so you can hate me less now."
"I am sure you were the one venting all night." She replied.
"Did I?" He tried to remember, "Anyway, you"re the one who slept with the most handsome young man in the world. You can feel a little bit lucky."
Serana opened her mouth in an attempt to retort at how shameless Jon was but she ended up laughing in awe.
He smiled at her as well but she looked at his smile and realized that she was laughing at his jokes after she slept with him. She was angry at him and somehow, he made her forget her anger.
She wasn"t particularly angry at Jon but rather angry at a series of different situations and circ.u.mstances. She, a daughter of Coldharbour, is a person who was meant to be traumatized from any s.e.xual experience yet somehow Jon, the one she was angry at, slipped past her defenses and acted the way he liked.
Her smile disappeared afterward.
"I have a question." She said.
"Go ahead." Jon replied as he was done wearing his clothes.
"Am I someone you want to control?" She asked.
"No, not at all." Jon casually replied.
"So… you have no qualms if I leave the Dark Brotherhood and ignore your "missions" or whatever you call it."
"I don"t." Jon replied, "I prefer if you do it for me as a favor. In order to show my appreciation to you, I will be at your beck and call."
"A favor it is." She said, then asked, "But for how long?"
"Until I have the Brotherhood around my finger. After that, you can expect anything from me."
"Thanks. I will hold you up to your offer one day." She said and stood up as well.
"By the way." Jon continued, "A band of Vampire hunters called the Dawnguard has been formed. They are hunting down the Volkihar Clan."
"Best of luck to them." Serana walked past Job and put her hood on.
"Let"s meet at their place after this is all over, shall we?" Jon added.
"I don"t mind." Serana didn"t stop and traveled through the shade in her bat swarm form before disappearing in the shade of the Dragon Bridge.
Jon donned his cloak and put his hood on then started playing with his appearance a little using l.u.s.t. His hair became black and his eyes turned grey then he added some age marks on his face and walked towards the town.
In a matter of minutes, Jon was standing in the middle of town and Serana was already past the bridge. Both of them looked back towards where they expected the other to be.
Serana suddenly raised her head up and struggled as her body started making strange noises. Her neck started to move unnaturally and then her tongue stretched off her mouth.
From her tongue, a ruby-like bead of crystalized blood appeared and she let that bead slide down in a small flask.
"Well…" She spoke in a grim but soft voice, "I"ve got what I needed, Jon Dare."
She closed the flask and hid it from sunlight then started traveling.
In the town, Jon made a wide sneer as his intentions couldn"t help but to surface on his face. He stood in front of an Imperial Outpost of the Penitus Oculatus and slowly walked ahead to knock on the door.
The door barely opened and a man looked through the gap with his eyes.
"Name and purpose of visit." The man said.
"The name is Krilon the Mercenary. As for the purpose…"
The man"s eyes widened for what Jon said next.
"… I would like to report that I discovered the location of the Dark Brotherhood"s Hideout."
