Emmalee Mactavish sighed and leaned back from the scaly thing she was drawing, raising her arms above her head and stretching out her back, hearing it pop a few times and looked out the windows, frowning. She watched as Nikul walked out of Fang Bangers with a woman. Her brows furrowed deeper as they walked away towards the alley. She quickly set down her pencil and stood up, grabbing her jacket and slipping it back on, shutting off the lights as they turned the corner, then locked up and ran across the street to the corner, peering around.
Emmalee Mactavish followed them tot he back alley and tot he cellar doors there, opening them and peering into the darkness before slipping down, digging into her pockets for anything that might shed some light down there and slipping on the steps, falling on her ass the rest of the way down with obscenities that echoed off the stone walls. she fished a lighter out of her pocket and flicked it, blinking as she looked around then stood, seeing the only exit and taking it. She could hear Nikul and the woman's steps echoing though the tunnels and hung back, thinking they were very close and not wanting to be caught. Then she started moving again, keeping her hand on the right side of the wall.
Emmalee Mactavish makes three right turns and swears loudly, knowing she was going in circles.
Nikul Firlan entered the catacombs and led Sylvie through the various twists and turns, remaining very conscience and aware of her every move as they walked together. He opened a passage to a small room full of doors and moved to unlock the one to the far left for her, allowing her to enter first and then followed in behind her. “You can stay here. It is bigger than the cage you were in.. and I’m certain you will be far more comfortable.”
Emmalee Mactavish pauses after taking a fourth turn and a long stretch of tunnel, only one door along the way, which she didn't dare open. She looked down the tunnel as it sloped down and winced, glancing back behind her "Dammit Emm... you can do better than this shit... and what is it for?" She remembered, her eyes widening right as her lighter burnt her thumb "Oh... DAMNIT!" she quickly flicked it again blinking and held it in her other hand and started down the slope.
Sylvie, true to her word, walked without a complaint as they entered the room within the catacombs. She slowly looked around her as she turned slowly truly seeing it's size. Her amaranth eyes settled back on Nikul after he spoke and she gave a brief nod, "I...thank you....for not merely locking me away in some small cage...as you very well could have done. And I do swear...I shall be found here at anytime until I am granted audience with the masters."
Emmalee Mactavish took a few more left turns, along the right side then stopped again, noticing that the stones were suddenly getting cleaner, then the junction. "Fuck me sideways.." she whispered. "Stay right.. and just keep swimming... riiiiiiggghhhhttt...." She kept going.
Emmalee Mactavish stops again after hitting a dead end and backtracking and taking another path, then finding the dirt floor again. "What the fuck... dammit all... where's my bread crumbs when i need them..."
Nikul Firlan hesitated a moment.. " Aye.. You will be here. I am afraid I can not just let you wander around the catacombs as you will. You are to remain here until called for or until Hikaru and, or Aydryan come to see you." He bowed his head respectfully. He tipped his head to the side slightly hearing a faint cursing echoing off the wall of the cats.." The room is not glamorous, but it should suit you better then would the cage. I do not see much point in putting you into one since you have put up no real fight in coming back. "
Emmalee Mactavish's heart started hammering in her chest as she realized she was truly lost, stopping at a corner and looking both ways, only to see darkness beyond the small illumination her lighter gave her. Then it went out. "SHIT!" She banged, shook and flicked the thing but it refused to light again. She held it by her ear and shook it and swore several more obscenities in quick succession, "COCKSUCKINGMOTHERFUCKINGSONOFABITCH! Come on baby.. don't die on me now... Fuck!" she plunked her ass on the stone floor for the second time this night and blinked trying to get her eyes to see something that wasn't there. "Oh come on.. even vampires need something to see with.. don't they?" she growled under her breath.
Sylvie gives a low respectful bow to Nikul, "As you say sir...I will do." She slowly raised back up as she glanced to a bed and spoke softly, "A bed...real and true." A faint smile tried to find it's way into her lips but she seemed to shove that too aside. Slowly, she walked over as her boots steps softly echoed off the walls and she drew her fingers lightly across the fabrics. This time she spoke for Nikul as she looked back to him. "I will certainly wait..."
Emmalee Mactavish stuck her burned thumb into her mouth and closed her eyes, listening as closely as she could. Her eyes snapped open as she could have sworn she heard faint laughter from somewhere... but in this darkness, and with the stones, she would never be able to find it. She closed her eyes again thinking. "Okay Nik... I know your down here... somewhere..." Even after the night before, she still trusted him to 'save' her. but how would he find her in this mess of tunnels.. did he even know she was down here?
Nikul Firlan stood up straight and coughed slightly hearing the slew of cursing reverberate off the walls again.. “ Ah. me.. Umm. Yes… I do hope you are comfortable… “He offered her a warm smile and pointed over his shoulder. “ I need to go. I have things I need to see over it would seem. Please sleep well.” He bowed his head again and made his way from the room making certain to lock it behind him. He then placed the keys in his pocket and sent Hikaru a text to inform him of things that had passed though he was near certain he’d find out from Jeanette anyway.
Emmalee Mactavish stayed sitting, knowing the general rule when lost, stay put. Then again... who even knew she was there? she started muttering under her breath. "Stupid.. fucking stupid Emm... this will be a riot... that is if some random vamp doesn't chew my throat out first... what the FUCK was I thinking?"
Nikul Firlan walked the room and opened the passage on the wall and was instantly greeted by Emm's scent. He frowned and sighed heavily.. "Great.. The one place in the city with the most vampires and you find it..."
Emmalee Mactavish stood up and started pacing back and forth, she thought she could make out light at the end of one tunnel, but.. "yeah.. okay... head for the light... pray you don't get grabbed... " She started off in the direction of the light, keeping her hand on the left side of the wall this time.
Nikul Firlan walked through the tunnels with ease, having no issues finding his way in the dark. He'd come to another one of the secret passages when he'd heard a noise in the next tunnel over. Slowly he turned down the short hall and looked around the next corner. He sighed softly and shook his head and as quietly as a mouse padded up behind Emm.
Emmalee Mactavish stopped as her shoe crunched on something and she shut her eyes tight wincing "Oh please don't let that be something crunchy and gooey..." She shuddered and kept moving slower now, squinting at the light that just seemed to get farther away the closer she got "Fucking great.. now my eyes are playing tricks on me.. next I will be hearing Nik's voice..."
Nikul Firlan furrowed his brows slightly and moved up close behind Emm never making so much as a sound as he, placed his hands down heavily on her shoulders, his accent heavy across his lips. “ Emmalee. Why are you down here?”
Emmalee Mactavish felt the air move around her a second before heavy hands fell on her shoulders and she let out a blood curdling scream and spun kicking as hard as she could outward towards shins if possible then spun again and took off running a few feet, only to stop as the words and voice registered into her head. She turned around slowly, her eyes squinting as she tried to make out the shape of the person behind her "Nik?"
Nikul Firlan closed his eyes tight as she kicked him in his shin and frowned heavily, releasing her shoulders. “I suppose I deserve that for frightening you. I’m just glad you did not kick higher. “ He chuckled softly and opened his eyes to gaze at her. Why are you down here of all places? Your scent is everywhere; you will have everyone a stir. You are lucky one of the young ones has not attacked you.” He opened his arms to her to show he was not angry.
Emmalee Mactavish chewed her bottom lip and moved back to him, her hand tracing the stones on the wall as she went, more so she would walk a straight line and not stumble. "I was.. uhmm.. following you. My scent.. well shit... I'm sorry but I thought..." She paused as she winced slightly. "Never mind."
Nikul Firlan leaned his head to the side. " You thought what? Why would you come to a place that is so unsafe for you? " He wrapped his arms around her and drew her close as if to shield her from the dark and all those whom dwelled within it. " Are you alright?"
Emmalee Mactavish nodded, rubbing her cheek against his stomach "Yeah I'm fine.... wait..." She pulled back from him a bit, narrowing her eyes "I'm still mad at you for last night. I mean I put on lace and frill and a.. a... a.. DRESS for you... and you don't show up... what the fuck... you stood me up Nik. To spend time with that asshole of a Fae?" The last few words were whispered softly just in case.
Nikul Firlan sighed heavily and lifted one of his hands to gingerly brush her hair from her eyes. " You looked stunning in that dress, and you look stunning now. You so rarely wear make-up. I apologize to you. My intentions were not to blow you off as you so kindly put it. I was trying to get information from him. I think he is up to something and I am not sure what. He has one of my wolves ... he is a dangerious individual Emm.. Not one to be taken lightly. " He traced his fingers to her cheek. " I am sorry. Truely. I will admit, there is a weakness in me when it comes to the Fae but it was never my intention to hurt you."
Emmalee Mactavish frowns, her hands tightening at the back of his shirt. "I don't care about him Nik.. I really don't. Wait.. he HAS one of your wolves? Your a vampire. I'm confused..." She sighed resting her forehead against his stomach. "I know you didn't mean to hurt me I just..." She stopped and took a deep breath and shook her head. "Can we get out of here now? I don't mind the dark as long as I can still see my hand in front of my face.. but this... nope. "
Nikul Firlan laughed softly. " I can see you just fine. You do not typically wear so much black, but it's a
flattering color on you. " He sighed and gazed around the long halls of the catacombs." Aye perhaps you are right. Now is not a good time for a tour so to speak. I will explain to you more once we get you someplace a bit safer..yes?"
Emmalee Mactavish nodded frowning up at him "Well shit... yeah... safer is better I guess." She didn't say that she always felt safe around him but looked around "So which way?"
Nikul Firlan gestured to the light that trickled down from the passage in front of them a short way off.. "
That will do. The sooner you are out of here the safer you will be. Come one. " He moved to take her hand in his own and slowly moved though the passage guiding her so she'd not fall..
Emmalee Mactavish nodded, squeezing his hand as they moved towards the light.
Emmalee Mactavish stumbles out of the grave and squeaks as she glances back at it "Did we just crawl out of a... hell as long as it isn't my own I guess..."
Nikul Firlan laughed softly and shook his head as he he crawled from the passage behind her. " Aye we did. Not may would think to look here. Would you like to go to your home or one of mine?"
Emmalee Mactavish chewed her lip as she though of that "One of yours? You have more than.. of course you do what am I thinking? Sheesh." she nodded glancing around blinking in the little moonlight there was. "Uhmm yours.. I guess."
Nikul Firlan glanced toward the stone wall of the back of the cemetery then out toward the town. "You pick. The manor or the cottage. " He smiled at her, and it was and honest smile that reached into the depths of his eyes.
Emmalee Mactavish frowned looking where he did "Uhmm.. cottage?"
