Quoted By:

Not for the first time, you considered calling Louise to check up on her. It’d been a while since she left New York with Blade in order to mentor under him. No one you’ve talked to has seen her since then, and she hasn’t tried to reach out. You were a bit worried, but you trusted that she was in good hands. All you had to do was wait until she trusted herself enough to pay you all a visit without sinking her fangs into anyone’s neck.

“Ana gave her a glowing review earlier, so I’m guessing that she’s a magnificent woman.”

“Who is this ‘cute French one’?”

Anastasia’s expression wasn’t dark or outright angry, but there was an edge to her voice.

You considered your next words very carefully.

“Huh? Oh, it’s nothing. She’s just uhhhhhh…”

Before you had the chance to shove your foot in your mouth, Elsa answered Ana’s call.

“Oh! I think that’s her. You should get that.”

She shook her head and started to walk away with the phone held up to her ear.

“Real smooth, Romeo.” Flint snickered.

“Seriously? ‘The cute French one’?”

He shrugged unapologetically.

“I just call it like I sees it. I mean, I’m just a big ol’ pile of sand now, and she was still managing to do things for me. That ‘vampiric aura’ thing she’s rocking made her smoking hot!”

While you wouldn’t have worded it as crudely, you couldn’t deny that he was spot-on. After her transformation, Louise turned into a downright sexy beast. Her natural allure was unmistakable at a distance, and almost irresistible if she was up close. It was a serious struggle for you to control yourself after she’d hugged you and kissed you on the cheek. The skin where her lips had touched tingled for the entire night, even after she left.

You didn’t think that she was doing it on purpose. She was just a naturally friendly person. Except now she had the power to bring men to their knees with but a glance.

“All I’m saying is, if I was in your shoes that night…”

You let out a pained groan and stalked off towards the nearest vending machine. Hopefully Elsa got here sooner rather than later. You didn’t want your “smoking hot French vampire friend” to become the topic of tonight’s dinner.

A little while later, Glass came back with a report of what Gloria had revealed to him. And the results were…disappointing to say the least. Mr. Delgi had no educational history, no known family members, no paper trails before his arrival in Las Vegas, and no friends to speak of. He was an absolute ghost. A nobody from nowhere that somehow ended up here. And that only gave credit to your theory that he wasn’t entirely normal.

Quoted By:

Strange shifted uncomfortably, wrapping his cloak closer around himself. “It would be…a hard fought battle, but I believe that I would ultimately come out victorious. Probably…”

Blade flashed an almost evil grin at him, revealing two pointed fangs that could easily puncture flesh. Then, he turned his attention on you. “And I’m guessing that you’re the ‘Huntsman’. Are vamps the only thing you hunt?”

“Nah. I’m a pretty well-rounded guy.” you said with a shrug. “But I’d be lying if I said that I didn’t miss the simplicity of vampire hunting.”

Blade’s grin turned rueful at that. “Trust me, it can be anything but. I’ve witnessed things more grizzly than old Yogi, and if you don’t have the stomach for it, you’ll end up quitting fast. You need dedication that goes beyond what’s normal or healthy.” he explained, turning his gaze upwards, well above your head. “I hope you have what it takes.”

You all turned around to see what he was looking at, and was surprised to spot Louise, sporting a dark, nondescript cloak, standing perfectly still on the side of a wall. Her mouth was covered by a half mask that doubled as a bite-guard, which she personally requested, so the only thing you could see was her crimson eyes.

What will you say?

>”I can personally vouch for her. She’s helped me take out some pretty powerful creatures a while back.”
>”Now that we’re all here, one of the biggest reasons that I asked you to come was because I heard that you have access to an effective blood substitute. Would you be opposed to sharing some of that with my friend here?”
>”If you’re curious about her abilities, then the two of you should have a healthy spar.”
>”Louise? Would you mind coming down to say hello to the company? I promise he won’t bite.”
>Write-in.

Quoted By:

“Oh, no. You’re not getting rid of me that easily.”

Pandora sighed, but allowed herself a begrudging smile. “Can’t blame a girl for trying.”

—-------

During the time that it took Strange to analyze the fairy flowers, Pandora and Ahmose departed from the Sanctum Sanctorum, saying that they needed to finish wiping the captured cannibal’s memory.

In the back of your mind, you hoped that Pandora wouldn’t investigate your stolen memories any more than absolutely necessary, You wondered if it was too much to hope that she would erase them without looking at them at all, but government types weren’t known for turning down any opportunity to gain knowledge, blackmail or leverage over a person.

Either way, it would have to be a problem for another day, because Louise was starting to wake up, and you were going to have to figure out what you would say to her.

—------

Upon entering the room that Strange had created just for her, you couldn’t help but think that it resembled a medieval dungeon decorated with an assortment of colorful rugs, banners and ribbons. At each corner of the room, hovering candles with purple flames were the only sources of light. The wax didn’t seem to melt in the slightest, and the wicks didn’t show any signs of going out anytime soon.

On the far side of the room, you spotted Louise, sitting up in her bed, clutching her head, pressing her palms into her ears. You opened your mouth to speak, closed it, and thought carefully about how you should break the news to her.

“I could hear your heartbeat on the way up, you know.”

Louise’s voice was frail and trembling, full of heartbreak before you even had a chance to say something that might shatter her reality. And when she looked at you with that very same crimson, burning gaze, black ichor pouring from her eyes, you knew that she knew. Of course she would.

If someone dedicated their whole life to hunting vampires, they shouldn’t have any problems recognizing the symptoms of newborn vamp. Even in themselves.

“I can’t hear my own, though. There’s definitely something flowing through my veins but it feels…alien. Wrong.” she continued, staring at the slightly blackened veins sticking out on her wrist. “The man I fought earlier wasn't a vampire. I should be dead. So...why am I…?”

She paused to listen for something that you had no chance of hearing. She closed her eyes slowly, frowning in concentration. Now that you were getting a good look at her, you were struck with the undeniable impression that Louise was a rather beautiful young woman. She wasn’t a slouch before her transformation, but all of her charming features were somehow magnified by an enthralling force that you couldn’t explain with words.

Quoted By:

Over the next few days, you and the others wasted no time or effort in fortifying Madame Webb’s mansion. Many of them were rushing to and fro, weaving between and around one another, and trading casual remarks every now and again. Tigra and Sun King seemed to be the most laid back of the bunch, while Louise and Reese made it a point to stay as far away from each other whenever possible. They never talked, and no one made it a point to try and make them interact any more than was absolutely necessary. In your opinion, the Nightguard showed remarkable restraint in the presence of another vampire, when her entire order was devoted to exterminating them.

Despite this, however, she seemed to cause the least amount of trouble out of the group. She kept to herself and discretely set her traps on and around the estate’s grounds. You could almost go an entire day while only catching brief glimpses of her, sometimes. Tigra, Reese and Sun King were a lot more present in their efforts to set up observatory equipment and rudimentary fortifications.

Nico and Ritrah, on the other hand, were moving so quickly that it made you tired just looking at them. Using the money that you provided, the teenage witch was running around making all sorts of absurd trade deals, and bartering for enchanted items of considerable power. She informed you that she was trying her best to avoid asking you for more money, but to not be surprised if she was forced to expand her budget.

You told her not to worry about it. She seemed to be having an easier time than Rintrah, at least. The green giant was opening portals in every which direction, all of them leading to areas with incredibly diverse ecosystems, time zones and climates. Some you recognized, and some you didn’t. You tried not to ask too many questions.

The big guy was apparently on a big fetch quest, where he went searching for rare ingredients by trekking up mountains and plunging through the deep, dark depths of ancient catacombs. Sometimes he came back injured, and other times he made the mistake of accidentally bringing something dangerous back with him when he spent too long closing the portal.

Multiple occurrences of such events caused you to relegate Sun King and Louise to monster slaying duty. But after a large fire almost broke out in the sitting room, the pyromancer was swapped out for Tigra.

Unsurprisingly, none of this was doing anything to relieve Madame Webb’s stress levels. The initial shock of having Rintrah undo his illusion in front of her was bad enough, but the frantic scurrying, constant noise and accidental damage done to her home had her locked up in her room most of the time. Julia later informed you that she hadn’t been sleeping or eating too well these days.

“Okay. I’m starting to understand why I was told to stay away from this thing. How do we even hunt something like that?” you said.

Nico just shrugged. “Dunno, but we’re gonna have to go about this carefully. If we screw up, then there’s a distinct possibility that the Silvertongue hops to a new body and goes on a rampage.”

“And what would that look like?” Marc asked.

Nico grimaced. “These things have pulled apart entire civilizations and empires. They’re part of the reason that some languages died in the first place, and they might be responsible for more than we’re aware of.” she informed you. “And unless you’d like everyone in the city to lose the ability to comprehend the English language, then you should probably plan out your assault.”

You gulped.

“They’re that powerful?” Marc asked.

Nico nodded. “Just try not to piss it off.”

“We don’t even know what they look like.” you argued. “How’re we supposed to find it?”

[“I think I can be of some use in that regard.” said a familiar voice.

Louise pushed the door open and confidently strode the room, her cloak billowing slightly as she moved. Now she was just showing off.

Nico chuckled. “Dramatic much?”

—-------

Despite her dramatic entrance, Louise had to be briefed on a summarized version of your current dilemma. Being a seasoned monster hunter, she seemed to take it in stride. Although, the possibility of having the entire population of New York turned into mute savages was less than appealing.

“Is it possible for Cindy to get her voice back from this thing?” you asked. “It didn’t…digest it, did it?”

Nico shook her head. “Nope. The fact that she’s still standing and not screeching like a deranged chimp means that the Silvertongue is probably borrowing her voice. So if you kill it, there’s a good chance that she’ll get her voice back.”

You and Cindy both breathed a sigh of relief. That seemed to improve her mood a bit.

“You say that as if killing it will be simple.” Louise said with a raised eyebrow. “We have no idea how they were eliminated in the past, or if they have any resistances that we need to worry about.”

“And that’s only half of our worries.” Marc cut in. “If they burrow into the mouths of living creatures, then it could be anyone, or anything in this city. Finding it won’t be simple.”

“I’ll try to put together a scrying spell that can lock onto its magical signature.” Nico promised. “I hope the little bugger isn’t proficient at warding.”

“And I shall search through the archives of my order.” Louise added. “Hopefully, they should have sufficient information on how to identify and kill such creatures.”

>79

You were the first to move, reaching into a your utility belt and tossing out a Electrified Web Bomb. Snowsnake reacted by trying to slice it in half. And she succeeded in doing so, but she wasn’t able to escape the tangle of webbing that escaped the spherical projectile as soon as it made contact with air.

Whatever she had done to damage the device, however, seemed to lower its effectiveness in shocking its target. She looked less bothered by the electricity and more so by the webs that had ensnared her arms and hair.

Not caring about the finer details, you drew your pistols and started to fire upon her. Each and every one hit their target. Some penetrated her body completely, but most got stuck part way through. To her credit, she didn’t cry out in pain or convulse like normal people did when they got shot. She kinda just…ignored it while she cut herself free.

Despite being covered in bullet holes and losing massive amounts of blood, her speed didn’t seem to take a hit at all. When she moved, it was a blur. You were barely able to track her with your guns, even with your astounding reflexes. She was so fast, in fact, that you were pretty sure she was leaving actual after-images!

Now, whenever one of your shots was supposed to hit her, she just parried it with her blade and kept running. By the time you’d emptied your clips and moved to reload, you started to notice the bloody, crushed silver bullets that now littered the floor. Snowsnake was actually digging the bullets out! Wasn’t this shit supposed to be lethal to vamps!?

Once you finished reloading, Snowsnake momentarily slowed her movement in order to turn and reorient herself. You were about to fire, when…there was a woman behind her. She wasn’t there before. You were sure of it.

It must’ve come as a surprise to Snowsnake too, because she quickly turned around, only to find a…metal cross pointed at her chest?

The woman’s fingers moved ever so slightly, and Snowsnake suddenly had a gaping hole in her chest and back. Chunks of what you could only assume was her spine flew out as she hit the floor, twitching and bleeding profusely.

“Phew! This one heals quickly!” said the woman in a distinct French accent. “Judging by the state of her, she must only be alive due to sheer force of will at this point. That was quite an impressive display from you.” she continued, giving you a light round of applause.

Not wanting to take any chances, you trained your guns on her, only to have her throw her hands up in surrender.

“I mean you no harm, Monsieur! Your bullets would be far better spent on her than me, non?” she asked, gesturing at Snowsnake. “She will be regenerating shortly.”
