Need for Speed!

Need for Speed!

The girl in the pink porsche swerved as a police car attempted to pin her against the concrete brocade on the sides of the highway. She straightened her car and let out a hiss as she spotted the tiny speck of a road block, she pressed her foot harder on the gas, showing no signs of slowing. The all too familiar red and blue lights flashed from behind the red and white barriers as the determined brown haired girl neared her apparent imprisonment. The police saw that she wasn't stopping and thought she was as crazy as the rest of the crew she made to crash through blockage.
The police knew she wouldn't care if anyone got hurt so they instinctively scrambled out of their cruisers and ran to safety just as the pink porsche crashed through the road block sending wood, glass and beat up police cruisers flying and by the time they'd sorted themselves out the pink porsche and the girl at number 3 on the black list was out of sight.

The fluorescent pink porsche pulled up under the bridge and the other black list members walked towards the porsche wanting to know what had caused their friend to arrive at their meeting point so late. She got out and slammed the door shut, muttering and cursing. One of the many members stepped forward and crossed his arms over his chest; the girl stopped in front of him and hung her head. Ronnie glared at her; she looked up and opened her mouth to explain but was frozen. She knew she wouldn't be able to move until Ronnie let her, it was one of his many vampire powers, it sucked for others but for him it made his job easier. The other girl, a tall blonde, quickly stepped forward and laid her hand on Ronnie's arm, he looked at her as she shook her head. He sighed at waved his hand at Mercy who was able to move again, Scarlett quickly walked to her side to help her. Mercy rolled her eyes and pushed Scarlett away, growling at Ronnie and walked back to her car. Climbing in, leaving the door ajar, she folded her arms and glared through the windshield.
"HIIIIIIII!" screamed Strify, popping up from the back seat and wrapping his arms around her neck. Turning her head, she narrowed her eyes even more and he sat back.
"Leave me alone," she muttered. Strify shook his head and grinned.
"No."
"Why?"
"Because I'm annoying," he stated. "And I also know that makes you laugh." It was true, Mercy was now laughing again despite being incredibly angry. Strify's ears flattened against his head and he crossed his arms. Mercy looked at him oddly and jumped when she saw Uruha's face against her windshield. Reaching over, his eyes never leaving hers, he pressed a hand against the glass.
"DON'T YOU DARE!" Uruha smiled evilly and the glass instantly froze. Mercy howled and jumped out, grabbing Uruha by the hem of his jeans and dragging him off.
"What did I do?" he whined, lying through his teeth.
"YOU BASTARD! I JUST GOT THAT FIXED!" Uruha blinked and tilted his head, placing a hand on the angry Exception's cheek. She tried to pull away but it was too late. Her mind was instantly accessed and she flinched.
Ha ha, stupid little Exception. I can't get into Strify's head all that easily because he's guarded. Vampires are psychic so they automatically block but you...you're just an idiot. Mercy smirked, bringing her hand in a fist against his head, breaking the connection and sending him sprawling to the floor.
"In your face," she taunted, sticking out her tongue at him. He hissed and jumped back to his feet, stalking off back to his silver mazarati.
"That wasn't very nice, Mercy." She jumped and spun around to face Bill scowling down at her. She glared at him and made to go past him but he stuck out his arm and she fell back slightly winded. He smirked before turning and walking away, she cursed the vampires and got to her feet brushing off the dirt on her jeans.
"Mercy! Come over here a sec!" Scarlett called waving her arm in the air. Mercy grumbled slightly as she trudged over to her blonde friend, Scarlett grinned at her and perched on the bonnet of her own car. Mercy always loved Scarlett's car, she'd helped her customize it. With its black base colour and a blue sheen it was one of the coolest cars out of the whole black list.
"What?" Mercy mumbled. Scarlett looked over the top of her dark tinted sunglasses and smiled slowly.
"I know what you did." Mercy's eyes widened slightly then narrowed.
"You've been into my-" Scarlett held up her hand and continued to speak.
"You went into the police station and kicked a police officer for no reason then legged it out. Why?" she asked with a frown. Mercy made to step back but tripped over Reita who had been behind her listening.
"Hey!" he cried as she tumbled backwards and onto the dusty floor. Reita growled at her and rubbed his ears with his hands. Mercy did the same and smirked at him.
"I can't stay angry at you, you bastard." Reita smiled.
"I know." Scarlett walked over and dragged Mercy back to their original place and, picking her up with one hand; set her back on her feet.
"Uh...thanks?" she ventured. Scarlett glared.
"Continue."
"Well...I was pissed off. That's all - just really, really annoyed. I'd applied for a new paint on my car and it was refused. They refused to serve me and said I'd have to drive for four hours to another freaking shop and I..." she stopped and cast her eyes away. Scarlett had had enough. Her hand curling into Mercy's t-shirt, she slammed her into a nearby wall.
"JUST TELL ME!" Mercy was shaken but unfazed and definitely not hurt. Werecats had a knack of that...even if she wasn't exactly all part cat. She had enough courage/stupidity to look into Scarlett's eyes and spit at her.
"I HATE YOU! JUST LEAVE ME ALONE!" Mercy, not possessing the same strength as her Vampire friend, kicked her in the shin but she didn't budge. Scarlett smirked evilly.
"You want pain?" she asked, pulling her towards her and whispering in her ear. "Then have some." And she slammed her into the wall again, brick dust flying everywhere. Mercy went limp and Scarlett let her fall to the floor. Another Werecat trick - play dead. Mercy let herself fall to the floor, surrounded by brick shards and coughed up blood.
"Ouch. I felt that," she murmured, her ears flickering in agony. "Shit."
"AH! I TOLD YOU NOT TO DO THAT!" shouted Reita, running over with an "I told you so" gleam in his eye. Rustling around in his pocket, he pulled out a white cylinder and shoved it in her lips. He got out a lighter but Mercy shoved him away, spitting out the cigarette.
"Quitting," she told him, pointing to a patch on her arm. Reita rolled his eyes and put it back.
"The day you quit is when you don't have any breath left IN you and that is going to be a long time, mate." Mercy accepted his offer and inhaled deeply. Reita smiled and settled back, happy he could help. He looked over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes at Scarlett who just shrugged.
"Deserved it," she mouthed, going over to Ronnie and chatting to him - probably about Mercy.
"Don't blame it on her too much...I just wanna see some fur fly," she said innocently at him, grinning. Ronnie glanced at her and sighed.
"Sure, who do you want?" He hated punishing his friends...he understood why Scarlett wanted Mercy hurt though. She was getting out of line and jeopardizing all of them and he couldn't let that happen. Scarlett's eyes lit up and she bounced up and down.
"URUHA! DEFINITELY!" Ronnie slid off his sunglasses, his eyes wide.
"I am not going to make him hurt her. He'll kill her, Scarlett...you know what he's like." Scarlett smiled evilly.
"That I do know, Ronnie. But she's tough...he won't kill her. Besides, Uruha (despite ruining her car on a numerous amount of occasions) is still good friends with her. And I am NOT getting Kai to punish her...I mean, come on! He couldn't even poke Ruki because he was scared he'd cry! I can't believe he's an assassin..." Ronnie didn't like her comments but listened anyway. He was distracted by Strify and Reita, talking to Mercy and - using his sensitive hearing - heard them reassuring her.
"They're gonna get Uruha to do it, I know they will..." she sighed and her ears dropped.”I've never even been hit by him but just his LOOK hurts me." Reita nodded in agreement.
"He's only hit me lightly but Jesus Christ it broke bones." Strify nodded this time.
"I was there - Reita cried."
"I SO DID NOT!" Reita hissed, going red. Strify grinned triumphantly and patted Mercy's shoulder.
"See, I told you not to quit smoking. You need that stuff - you look better already." Mercy rolled her eyes.
"I look like shit and I, you, Reita and everyone else know it." Ronnie stopped listening and glanced quickly over at Scarlett who'd noticed he wasn't listening and glared at him. She'd heard them talking too. He made to say something but she hissed at him, fangs bared, and walked off to her Ferrari. He kicked himself mentally and leant against his car thinking deeply.
The Vampires weren't the only people listening. Yu, Jetsam and Luminor were also honing their "senses" - although that's what they said - and Yu chuckled.
"I always knew Mercy was an idiot but to spit at SCARLETT is some kind of death wish."
"Just because you're her cousin, Yu, does not mean you can suck up to her," muttered Luminor bitterly. He didn't like this, not one bit. Why did she have to go and do that? Ruki will be so pissed off...Aoi walked over and bowed slightly.
"Hey, heard about Scarlett's little scuffle. Is it true that they're gonna get Uruha to do it?" Yu smirked and nodded, Aoi flushing.
"I don't like them encouraging him...he's a person like all of us." Yu narrowed his eyes, his smirk becoming mocking.
"No he's not. He's insane, Aoi and you know it. He would kill us all if he had a say in it - only Ronnie can keep him in check." Aoi roared in anger and made for Yu's throat. Yu dodged him and pushed him onto his car, locking his arm against his back. Aoi, now restrained, was even more pissed off.
"Watch me," Yu hissed in his ear. "Watch me...I'll show you the real Uruha." And before anyone could stop him, he moved over to where Uruha was sitting in his car, his eyes closed. His hand was resting on his katana, no, not resting - gripping.
"Hey Uruha..." Yu produced a small knife from his pocket and smiled as the other Vampire smelt the old blood on the blade. His eyelids flickered open and Yu could see how starving he was. That's how he kept himself normal - the sharpness of the pain in his stomach keeping him focused.
"Keep your eyes on this, Uru...watch it." Uruha nodded, almost in a trance, as Yu (using his incredible speed) flashed over to where Mercy was sitting. Uruha was still focused on the blade as Yu, fighting off Strify and Reita easily, restraining Mercy with a firm hand on her neck.
"FUCK OFF YOU BASTARD!" she screamed, sinking her teeth into his arm. He didn't move and instead laughed as he drew the knife across one of her arms, the blood beginning to dribble down her skin. Uruha was already moving. Sword left in his car, he pushed Yu aside and sank his teeth into her arm.
"OW! URUHA WHAT THE HELL?!" she shouted, kicking at him furiously. "I AM NOT A MEAL!" Strify was crying, for pretty much no reason whatsoever and Reita was trying to shut him up. Ronnie was amused, watching from his car. He always found Yu rather...stupid...and it was this that made him such an enjoyment. Scarlett was laughing - and if Strify was hearing that - would probably describe her as a maniac (although he often exaggerated just a bit). Aoi, not being a Vampire, was trying to pull Uruha off but was failing miserably.
"Uruha get off Mercy...please..." Yu chuckled and smirked evilly. What can I say, it runs in the family. Aoi, running out of options, snatched away Yu's knife and (knowing he would seriously regret it) plunged it into his own arm.
"FUCK IT I AM SUCH AN IDIOT!" he howled, ripping Uruha's head off of Mercy and turning it to his own wound. Uruha glanced into Aoi's eyes, the latters own widening when he saw the tears in Uruha's eyes. Stupid Yu...didn't understand that Uruha hated himself.
"Go on, for God's sake. Not like you haven't before..." Uruha was about to bite into Aoi (second course?) but a strong hand grabbed him and yanked him back.
"EAT MERCY FOR GOD'S SAKE!" screamed Scarlett, taking Mercy's arm, who couldn't be bothered to protest from the edge of consciousness, and shoving it in his face. Uruha screwed his eyes shut and licked along the cut, the poison from his fangs dropping onto the open wound. Mercy hissed and jerked violently.
"Holy crap, Reita was right..." she paused. "For once."
"Wow. This is working better than planned!" Scarlett giggled gleefully. Strify and Reita glared at her before advancing on her, she didn't even notice until they'd pounced on her back and dragged her to the floor. Yu's plan was failing...and he decided to make a quick getaway. Slinking over to his car, he turned the keys in the ignition and went to drive. He'd gone about a yard when a black haired member appeared before the car and stuck out his hand so it was placed on the bonnet and the car came to a stop. Yu cursed himself for forgetting about Ronnie's EXTRA vampire strength that placed him as leader, he pushed his foot down harder on the gas but nothing happened except that his wheels spun. He looked at Ronnie. He wasn't even breaking a sweat to keep him there!
"MOVE RONNIE!" he screamed in frustration, but the crew leader didn't move.
