Dawn was a bit preoccupied as she
walked down the street. It was getting late, the sun was starting to
get low on the horizon, which meant that the challenge between her
and Xander was just about done. Although she was confident that she
had more then Xander she still wanted to hedge her bet a bit more,
wanted to grab at least one more person. One more, prey, as it were
before the end of the competition.
She was slowly scanning the street as
she walked, looking for the perfect victim. She needed someone who
would be quick and easy, although she normally liked to take more
time, time was at a premium right now.
She happened to spy the perfect
victim, young, attractive, long brown hair and black leather dress
that looked more appropriate for a night club then walking down the
street. She would do perfectly. Since she didn't want to waste time
she figured she would rely on an old trick that she hadn't used since
the raid at Spirals. The projectile Hypnosis Orb. (Trademark
pending).
Dawn moved into an alleyway and began
to focus her energy into her hand. As she did a circular swirl of
energy began forming, shifting from color to color as it started to
grow in her hand. It had been a long day and she had not fed on any
of the victims that she had gathered, per the agreement. So forming
the orb was taking a little bit more concentration that she would
have liked. But after a few moments she had a tennis ball sized orb
of glowing hypnotic color in her hand.
As the young brunette walked down the
street, her long hair flowing back and forth as she naturally moved
in a heel to toe fashion, Dawn extended her arm and aimed between her
thumb and index finger. “I have you now...” She said with a
smile. A second later the orb flew from her hand in a straight line
directly at the girl. It struck the young woman in the side of her
head and caused her head to jerk to the right, her eyes instantly
widened in shock but the moment they did the swirling colors of the
orb could be seen swirling in the whites of her eyes.
She managed to stumble a few more
feet, drifting to the right with the excess weight of her head
leaning in that direction taking her closer and closer to the side of
a building. After a moment her shoulder brushed against the building
and she spun a little bit to the right then collapsed onto her back
gently. Her facial expression never changed from one of shock and the
swirling colors of the orb kept her nice and complacent.
Dawn took a deep breath to gather her
strength back, the day was taking it's toll on the succubus but she
couldn't have been happier about her aim, bulls-eye, as it were. She
started to leave her concealed little corner of the alley way when
she suddenly felt an arm grab her and spin her around.
“What the hell do you think you're
doing?!” Shouted a rather angry Sarah while still having a hold of
the succubus' arm. Her green hair and metallic ear blades made her
easy to pick out, not that the police uniform hid her identity at
all.
Dawn sighed a bit as she struggled to
remove her arm from Sarah's grip. “What does it look like I'm
doing? I'm gathering a volunteer for a bet.” She said finally
freeing her arm and putting both of her hands on her hips defiantly.
“Volunteer!” Sarah's tone become
more then a little sarcastic at this point. “she didn't volunteer
for anything! Are you behind all the people going missing today? We
have gotten several calls about people going missing from random
places. And I can't find Jessica anywhere, and according to the
professor Barbara missed a check in with him and Fawn and Jen didn't
show up for dinner... so we are back to my original question... What
the hell do you think you're doing!?”
Dawn put on her best innocent face as
she avoided eye contact with Sarah “Well you remember the incubus
that broke into the house last Christmas?”
Sarah was more then familiar with
Xander as she had arrested him several times, in fact he was one more
screw up away from real serious trouble. Unlike Dawn who had immunity
thanks to the Professor's protection, Xander did not have the
luxury... But to answer Dawn's question she simply gave a hesitant
“...yes....”
“Well... we kind of made a bet.”
Dawn was still doing an excellent job of looking anywhere except at
Sarah.
“What kind... of bet?” Sarah said
folding her arms across her chest and tapping her foot angrily.
“A simple, harmless, innocent bet
really, to see who could... umm... gather more subjects in a single
day.” She finally looked at Sarah with an innocent almost
childlike, and clearly faked smile.
Needless to say, Sarah was not amused.
“Let me see if I understand you correctly, You, made a bet with
Xander, the incubus who broke into our house, hypnotized just about
all of the occupants. Drained you, something I recall you being very
angry at, and then tried to create a harem of his own by hypnotizing
random girls around the city... Challenged you to a bet, to see who
could... how did you put it? Oh yes, gather the most subjects. And
you accepted?! What were you thinking?” Dawn again went back to
avoiding eye contact with Sarah until Sarah asked a followup
question. “And what exactly is the prize for this bet?”
Dawn suddenly turned into a ten year
old who had just been caught trying to shave the family cat. “Well,
you see, kind of, maybe, you know, whoever gets more, can sorta,
maybe, just a little bit... drain all of the victims... I mean
volunteers.” Dawns face was beat red at this point.
Oddly enough Sarah's face was pretty
red too, but I suspect for a different reason. “What!?” She
shouted. (Told you it was for a different reason.) “You can't do
that! That's illegal! You know that!
Are you responsible for all of
the missing girls, Fawn, Barbara, Jessica, Jen?”
Dawn looked a bit confused and gave an
absent minded answer to the question “I didn't get Jen” she said
not realizing she just admitted to getting the other three.
Sarah was furious at this point “Oh
so Jen wasn't you but the other three were? Dawn! There are missing
people all over town, A nurse and a doctor are missing, two women
vanished from a book store, this is madness!”
Dawn's look of guilt faded to a more
concerned expression “I didn't get those” she said thinking out
loud “Dang that means he has at least 5, that's not good I
should...”
She was cut off by Sarah grabbing her
arm again “Oh no, this is over with, I am taking you in and then
we're going to collect Xander, you may be able to avoid trouble but
he sure can't.” Sarah reached to her belt and grabbed her hand
cuffs.
Dawn's first thought was that it might
be kinky to play with Sarah and her hand handcuffs. But she quickly
realized that Sarah was going to try and arrest her. This would be
bad for her evening plans. As the police woman reached out to cuff
her wrist Dawn quickly spun her wrist out of the officers grasp and
then pushed Sarah back to give her some room.
“Hey!” Shouted Sarah even more
angrily “Alright that's it your coming in the hard way now.”
Sarah rushed Dawn full force. During their time together the two had
fought several times, Dawn was definitely the stronger of the two,
but Sarah had been practicing. She rushed in and at the last second
spun under Dawns wing and grabbed her from behind putting her in a
head lock.
Dawn was taken off guard and pushed
back as hard as she could, but Sarah lock was too strong. She was
starting to fade from the grip and in a last ditch effort extended
both of her wings back and managed to break free of the officers
hold.
Sarah released the hold and quickly
did a fast hard push onto Dawn as she tried to break free. Sending
the Succubus into a pile of garbage, but causing Sarah to back up and
bump into the fire escape behind her. Dawn hit the ground and was
seeing stars, and she was covered in garbage. She looked up at Sarah
as her vision struggled to recover from the head lock. She could see
a small flower pot on the fire escape, several floors up teetering on
the edge.
Sarah stared down at Dawn triumphantly
“I told you last time we sparred that I'd beat you, I'm taking you
in, I might not be able to keep you there but I can get you off the
streets for a few hour.... “ Sarah was cut off by the flower pot
breaking on top of her head.
Dawn watched as the flower pot
shattered instantly on Sarah's head. The moment it did the young
bionic officer's body jerked just a bit but she kept the same basic
stance, finger pointed at Dawn leaning down in an almost gloating
fashion. Her eyes, although they hadn't closed at all, seemed to be
some how, hollow. Dawn looked her over for a second not noticing any
real motion, she was kind of teetering on her feet gently swaying
from side to side but other then that there was no movement at
all.”Sarah?” the succubus asked confused. There was no answer. A
moment later Sarah's hand slowly lowered to her stomach, the wobbling
became more extreme and her left knee finally buckled. The green
haired bionic cop swooned to the alley floor completely unconscious.
Dawn gave a laugh as she stood up,
being a succubus meant she had already recovered from the fight but
had it not been for that flower pot, she wouldn't have been able to
recover in time. She looked down at her sleeping friend, “You
wanted to know what happened to the other girls... I'll take you to
them” she said with an evil grin.
Eve belongs to SleepnDarlin, while Dawn, Sarah and the world itself belongs to Adv.
