It had been a several weeks since the attack on the manor, leaving Savannah and her love Anakin wounded. The guards had seized the gunman that was hired to take out the queen. Rhage had taken the twins to safety in the lower tunnels in the safe room with other children, as the warriors ran around in search of the hunters that were hiding close by watching for any sign of weakness in the barriers of the Manor grounds.

Security tightened around the surrounding areas and the warriors training in their spare time to deal with these sick and twisted hunters. They were grouping and abducting  women, children and even men, transporting them to camps to unknown locations.

Savannah stood behind her desk  as she looked at the maps on her wall of  the areas that her men had circled. These circles was where the abductions were of. With a frown upon her face, Savannah  placed a hand upon her stomach and shook her head thinking hard.

Turning around as she looked at Vishous and the rest of the warriors " Where are these bastards hiding? what are they doing to these poor people?" Questions running around her head, she sighed as she leant back against the desk.

Vader's sole focus was downstairs in the basement being held for attempting to murder the queen. If it was left to Vader he would've been killed on the spot for his transgressions, but the thinkers felt like he would be more valuable kept alive. They figured they might be able to get some information out of him. Vader knew a thing or two about war. If one was sent on a mission like this to execute the queen it was for one of two reasons. Either it was believed he was capable to do it, and get away cleanly, or it was believed he had a chance to at the very least achieve the objective, but not escape. This man had managed to do neither, but he came awfully close. He was close enough to really anger Vader, more so than he always was, so it didn't look too good for this man. 

He had permission from Savannah to go and talk with the man, in fact he was even encouraged to do so. The other warriors hadn't managed to get anything out of him. They had their means, some using brute force, some using trickery. If there was one thing the people had learned, it was that this man they had captured was durable. It was either that or he really didn't know anything. Vader believed it was a mixture of both. It would be commendable, the way this person was even willing to not say anything about the stuff that he did know. With this situation however, Vader didn't find it so. It only served to cause more irritation. 

Vader stormed down to the cellar, his cape trailing behind him. He walked alone because he only needed himself in order to interrogate this insignificant being. Vader approached the door to the room where he was being held. There were two guards standing outside of it at all times. When he arrived, they opened the door for him. In the room, was a man who had his hands chained behind the chair, and his feet chained to it. He looked very disheveled, which made sense since he was held there for weeks now. Vader paid all this not much mind, but it was wise to take into account the condition of the man. He had been beaten and had his mind messed with by these people. 

Vader turned back to the guard who had held the door open for him to enter. The guard was now sneering at the man who was chained in the chair. 

"Close the door, and don't open it until I knock." Vader commanded. 

The guard gave him a hard look, to which Vader continued to just look at him plainly through his mask. They respected him as the Queen's lover but not really as anything on his own. That bothered him slightly but not too much. If he needed to he'd use force to get them to go along with what he wanted, but he tried not to harm Savannah's people if he could help it. 

After staring back and forth for a short time, that felt a lot longer than it actually was, the guard finally closed the door behind him. The lighting in the room was dim with the door closed, and the light from outside the room not coming in anymore. Vader turned back to the prisoner and stared the man down. The prisoner would look up on occasion, but Vader could see it in his eyes, that he was already beaten and defeated both mentally and physically. At this point, murder would be mercy. Vader would use that to his advantage. 

"You're going to die here." Vader pointed out plainly. "How much more of this you have to endure before that happens is in your hands. If you tell me what it is I seek then I will show you mercy and end this for you now. If you do not, then I will extend your suffering and make sure this continues on for you for a long time." 

This didn't seem to capture much of the man's attention. His head twitched at the mention of a mercy killing. He wasn't in shock over the fact that he was going to die, he seemed to accept that fact already. He was interested in not suffering as much before he reached that point it seemed. This is what Vader suspected all along. 

"You can't kill me. You're foolish queen won't allow it until I tell you what I know or anything useful. If I can hold out long enough she won't even be alive to keep me here." The man said. 

Vader seemingly took the insult in stride, but really his mind was filled with ways to hurt this person properly for what had just come out of his mouth. Vader walked backwards toward the door. The man was now looking at him thinking that he had won the little exchange and was making Vader leave. He could sense the satisfaction coming from the man and seen it in the slight smirk on his face. Once Vader felt his back near the door, he knocked against it, continuing to face the man directly. His smirk grew slightly. The door was opened by one of the guards, who held it open for Vader to exit. Instead he turned and stopped in the door to face the guard.

"Do you have the key to the restraints?" Vader asked.

The guard looked at him before looking back to the prisoner, then back to Vader and giving him a nod. Vader then quickly followed up.

"Release him." Vader ordered.

The guard then looked at him with a look of complete disbelief.

"What the hell are you talking about? The Queen's guard ordered him held. He's not ordered him released and you can't order him released either." The guard responded.

Vader seen this as a challenge to what he wanted. Given the mood he was in, he wasn't exactly accepting toward that action. He stepped closer to the guard who disobeyed him and stood directly over him. He could sense the slight worry in the man before he steeled himself for whatever Vader would have done to him. It was commendable, he was willing to do his job no matter what would happen. Vader was the Queen's guest, her lover. He didn't have an official title, and in his mind he didn't need one. Vader knew this man was prepared for Vader to threaten him or do something to him, what he wasn't expecting, was for his partner who was also guarding this prisoner to begin choking. Vader held three fingers together in a grip like motion and extended his arm toward the guard's partner. He began to float in the air and furiously grab and try to gasp in air as he choked in the air, like there was an imaginary noose in around his throat.

"I ordered him released, and you will release him, or your partner will die, and his blood will be on your hands." Vader threatened.

The guard was now panicked and looking back and forth between his partner and Vader. He quickly tried to size him up and wonder if he could attack Vader to defend his partner, but he didn't have enough information. That was a smart move. He figured his partner didn't have much longer to last conscious, and he didn't want anything bad to happen on his watch.

"Alright! Alright... Just let him go!" The guard pleaded.

Vader kept the choke hold on the guard for a couple seconds longer, just to let the message set in, before he released him. The guard who was being choked by the force, was dropped to the floor, and hungrily began trying to consume air. The guard who Vader was talking to, looked to his partner who was on the floor, and then looked back to Vader, both a bit fearful and angry. Vader continued to stare the man down from behind his mask, but he was now growing impatient.

"Go, or this time I will not be so merciful to your partner." Vader commanded.

The guard rushed over to the prisoner, as Vader turned around and watched him. He knew that these guards would be hesitant to touch him, even if they didn't obey his commands if he didn't carry Savannah's words. He was flexing a bit more power than he would have as Anakin, but he still didn't plan to go too far unless he needed to. It didn't take the guard long to take off the restraints. The prisoner in the chair rubbed at his sore wrist. He looked to the guard and looked to Vader as well trying to understand what was going on here.

"That'll be all. Allow me to finish my conversation with my friend here. Once I am finished, I will knock on the door again." Vader said and then stepped forward to stand in front of the prisoner to make sure he didn't try anything.

He could tell the guard who released the prisoner gave him a dirty look. He heard a cough and the guard who was being choked clear his throat, and that got the guard inside the room's attention. The guard shot Vader and the prisoner one more look, before exiting the room and closing the door behind him.

Vader just stared at the prisoner in the chair for a minute, breathing audibly and not moving. The prisoner continued to rub his wrist and then moved down to his ankles. Vader then suddenly grabbed one of the man's arms with his left hand. He reached for his sword, on his left hip, and drew it quickly, in an upward slashing motion with his right hand, cutting the mans arm off at the elbow. Once the sword had finished it's job, Vader released the man's now cut limb and dropped it on the floor. The prisoner was in shock for a moment, before his brain fully caught up with what just happened and he began screaming in horror and pain.

"As I said before. You are going to die here, that is a fact. You have the power to decide how much you will endure and how long I prolong your suffering before it. If you speak about the Queen again in such a way, I will make it long and VERY painful. If you want any chance at mercy, tell me where the rest of you are currently located." Vader demanded.

The man continued to yell and scream in pain. Vader ignored the volume of the yells, but he did grow impatient. He used his empty left hand to grab the man by his chin, and force him to look up at his mask. He kept the prisoners chin in a tight grip.

"Where are you located?" Vader asked again, tightening his grip after every word.

"Fuck you!" The man shouted back in response.

Vader released the mans chin. He switched his sword and held it with his left hand, and held the man's other arm with his right hand. He extended it and cut that arm off with a hard chop from his sword as well. This time there was no delay in the man's screams this time. He fell to the floor, writhing in agony. Vader rolled him over to his back, with his boot, and placed it on his chest and looked down to the man.

"You have already lost two arms, next you will lose both of your legs. Then I will have the people here heal you so that you will not die, and you will live out the rest of your days like this until eventually you succumb to your own injuries or old age. That is, unless you tell me where your people are located and I will stop the pain now." Vader proposed.

He said it in an even tone but spoke loudly and firmly so the man could hear it over his own yells. Vader waited a bit to see if the man was going to stop hollering and tell him anything of importance. When it seemed he wasn't, Vader moved prepared to move onto the man's legs. When he kept the man straight and was preparing his sword, he was stopped.

"Okay stop!! I'll tell you!" The prisoner yelled out.

Vader lowered his sword, but kept it in his hand. He looked back to the prisoners face, which was wet with tears and sweat. He was breathing heavily and wincing in agony. Vader didn't say a word, just stared behind the mask at this man.

"Okay... O-outside the town, south of it.... There's a camp, in the woods.... You c-can find them there. They've set it up out there. T-that's where they take the people from town. They're trying to use them to lure you out.... Or gain information... A-about you guys. That's how we found this place." The man informed Vader in between breaths and short cries of agony.

"How many people are at this camp?" Vader asked.

"I don't know... It's not a small camp, but it's not......H-huge either.... About 30 people I would say... Not all hunters.... Some guards too." The man answered.

Vader seemed to grunt in acceptance to the answer. He needed to inform Savannah right away and prepare an attack, that is if this information was any good.

"Very well. You have done well to inform me. For your reward, I will not torture you any longer." Vader said.

He then turned away from the man and walked to the door and gave it a knock. The door was opened quickly this time as the guards wanted to see what it was that was happening in here once they heard all the screaming. The one who Vader had choked before was glaring heatedly at Vader, until he saw the sight of the man on the floor missing both arms behind him. The level of brutality somewhat surprised them both.

"W-wait! You said you'd end it. You s-said you'd show mercy." The prisoner said from the floor.

Vader turned his head to the side so he could regard the fallen prisoner, keeping him in his sight from the corner of his eye.

"I did, and I am. I won't torture you any longer. I have no use for you. You are now these people's prisoner once again. They will deal with you as they see fit, which I will assure you, is a lot less worse than what I would've done to you." Vader said.

"Y-you're gonna....pay... for all this." The prisoner threatened. 

Vader turned his head away from the prisoner and looked forward as he prepared to finally exit.

"Perhaps... But not today." He said.

Vader walked off making his way to inform Savannah about what it was he had just heard. He left the prisoner in the hands of the two guards to finish off. There was a small piece of him that hoped they would finally finish the man off, but the most of Vader didn't care about the man's fate at all, more focused on the upcoming situation with the hunters as a whole.

Savannah stood and walked passed her desk to the window of her study, looking out over the rich green grass of mansion grounds. Her arms wrapped around the middle of her stomach which kept her unborn twins safe. The morning sickness was worse in this pregnancy and had Gregori and her love worried about her keeping anything down. 

She could hear  screams from the prisoner that was kept down in the dungeons below in her mind, but it was the scent of the blood that rose. Making her green with nausea. Gregori came over and sighed "Savannah, you must rest and eat something. You haven't touched anything all day"

Looking over at him and sighs "Gregori, tell me how the fuck am i to keep anything down, when all i do is bring it back up again. I'm starving for something very sweet....Besides i cant rest yet until my love Vader comes back with the information we need to take these fuckers out. 

Vader quickly made his way to Savannah's office, not stopping for anything. He was urgent to bring her the news because he knew she was urgent to hear it. She'd been more and more worried lately and he knew that all that was not good for the babies inside of her. It was why he was even more active and impatient than he usually was. There was also the concern of her safety. They actually had information of where she was staying, this was shown by them actually attacking her, almost harming the babies she was carrying inside of her, and the prisoner also said they knew about the location of this manor. That meant the times had to be moved up and something had to be done now, to cause them to fall back.

Vader arrived at the door to the office to see that it was open. She was in the middle of a conversation with the man who was in charge of healing her, and monitoring her health. It seemed he stayed here and was more frequently checking on her now that he knew she was pregnant. The man didn't much care for Vader it seemed as Vader somewhat demanded him around back when things were hectic, and called his abilities into question. Vader also threatened him. Vader knew the man didn't much care for him, and knew why he didn't, but Vader didn't much care. As long as he kept Savannah and the babies safe and healthy, then he was useful, and that meant he was untouchable to Vader. It worked for the best for both of them if the two of them weren't around each other all that often. It couldn't be helped though, since she was usually where Vader was, and the doctor was usually where Savannah was, so they had to tolerate one another.

Vader could feel the heat of the man's stare on him as he entered the room, but Vader completely ignored him. He gave a deep bow to Savannah, as he was accustomed to do when he was on business. He expected the others to show her proper respect when in her presence, especially while he was around, so if that was the case, then he'd have to do so as well. This seemed to take some of the displeasure away from Gregori as he saw this happen before him.

"Lady Savannah, I have news. The prisoner has given up the location of a camp of hunters. The closest ones here are camped south of the town, which they have been raiding and taking people from. They are hidden in the woods. This information may or may not be reliable, but I believe it is the closest thing we will get other than keeping constant watch. I suggest we move on the offensive, but wisely first. Send out a small scouting party to hide and blend in with the woods, have them watch and take notice of patrols, see if they can gather a rough count of the enemies numbers, and fortifications, or even if they are actually there. If all checks out, THEN we send in a strike team led by myself, and we wipe out this enemy closest to us. Of course, that is after seeing what we can get from them information wise first." Vader suggested.

He realized he'd got passionate and somewhat excited in his talking that he had forgotten to take as many breaths as necessary and his breathing had audibly picked up because of it. He calmed himself down.

"Of course it is your call my Queen. What is your command?" Vader asked with a bow once more.

He awaited to see what his queen's thoughts and plans were on the matter herself.

She turned and smiled as she saw her love returning with the information. Picking up the tension in the room between two dominant males drove her mind crazy, as she walked over and sat down in her chair. Shaking her head as she listened and taking note.

"Your right lets get the right information first and see what we are dealing with"  placing a hand over her mouth and shook her head, this was not the time to be sick.  Picking up the phone and rang the guard house where her warriors were relaxing, asking them to arrive to the office straight away. 

Vishous and Rhage came walking in after a few moments and sat down on her couch crossed legged as they waited for the rest. Picking up her cup of herbal tea that Gregori insisted she drank to ease the nausea. "My love, will you explain what you found out from the prisoner down in the dungeon"

Vader watched as the two other guards strolled in after they were called by Savannah to appear here. He nodded as he was told to bring them up to speed. These were two who Anakin had befriended to a degree. Vader had a little respect from them as he changed, which spoke volumes because he didn't have much respect for anyone anymore. He crossed his arms as he faced the two he was told to bring up to speed. It was asked of him by his lover and the queen, so he felt the need to obey the command.

"I have informed the queen, that our prisoner in the lower levels has informed me to the location of the camp close by, that the hunters are using as a base. They know the location of the manor and will more than likely continue to launch attacks and possibly a rescue mission for this man we've kept hostage here. They are a threat that cannot remain, so I have advised the queen to send out a small scouting party, to their supposed location, south of the town in the woods, to make sure the information we have is actually valid. Also to see if we can gain some information before we storm the camp and try eliminate the threat, while trying to gain information at the same time." Vader said.

Vader paused for a minute before continuing.

"I would lead the strike team of course, if the Queen would allow it. I would propose one of you come with me along on the team to make sure we properly take care of these enemies. The other of you should stay here with the queen for protection, in case they launch a counter attack. Now more than ever, it's imperative that the queen is kept as safe as possible at all times. This also means not allowing her to take the battlefield in anyway." Vader continued.

He turned to face her to see if she would object to this. He knew that she wouldn't like not being able to go out and having to stay put, but he also knew that most of the others in this room, would agree with him. That at this moment, the most important thing was her health and her safety. It may not have been the best time to try this, and she may make him pay for it later, but it was the wisest time to bring it up. He was hoping all would go smoothly though.

"Vishous and Phury go with Vader and search the west side" Savannah looked over at Rhage "You stay here with the twins" He nods and smiles softly at the queen as he got up and left.

"Butch, Zsadist take two other warriors and take the east side. Gather all information and clean up so that no body is suspicious about the disappearances. Find out who their leader is and eliminate if possible Understand me  and for fuck sake be careful out there. Come home in one piece or i will seriously kick your asses." She smirked as she looked up at her love

"No get your asses out here so i can take a nap as i didn't sleep to well last night " she said as a yawn took hold of her. the warriors grinned as they got up and left to get ready for their mission.

Vader nodded to Savannah, as they were all dismissed and went along with their queen's plan. Vader would have planned to keep himself here at the manor, until the scout team had returned from their mission, but it seemed he was being sent along with the scouts, and preparing for an attack at the same time as well. As instructed by Savannah, he would go and scout the west side of the woods. Two others would scout the east, and Vader would assign one of the people with him to go and make sure the information was good. He'd send one of them to stealthily inspect the south part of the wood first, before reporting back. He didn't know which one of them specialized in stealth, so he'd have to make a decision based on his gut, but he knew he was not made for stealth operations any longer. They would need time to prepare themselves so Vader would go up to the room and wait while the others made their own preparations for the mission.

Vader went into the bedroom he shared with Savannah, and then went back out to the balcony where she had gotten shot. He didn't know where she planned on taking a nap, but he wanted to be here so he could remember the incident, that set all this in motion. He wanted to draw anger, and motivation from the memory. He remembered it and saw it clear in his mind. He remembered the blood seeping through her gown as she stood on the balcony. He remembered the words barely making it out of her mouth. The shock on her face, the shock on his face, the panic he sensed around the entire compound. It was all so clear, and it all made him so angry.

He squeezed his fists tight at his sides as he thought it over, everything about that night. He could feel the air around himself grow tighter, feel his breathing increase from not being able to breath it so clearly, despite the machines helping him inside his suit.

'Soon.' He thought to himself.

He knew that going on this mission would mean extracting the proper revenge from some of the people who had caused the one he cared for pain. He wasn't supposed to have attachments as Vader, he wasn't supposed to have them when he was a Jedi either. What neither Mario nor the Jedi could understand, were that attachments made him stronger. If he had something or someone to fight for then he would be much more focused on accomplishing what it is he had to do. He was currently very focused on just that. He would succeed here no matter what the cost.

He let his mind drift into thoughts abut what exactly he would do to take out these hunters when he found them, as he stood on the balcony just looking out at the clouds. He would give the warriors who were coming with him about 30 minutes to prepare themselves before he himself was ready to leave. He thought to have words with the doctor that was watching over Savannah before he left, but he thought better of the idea. He remained where he was on the balcony and waited as patiently as he could instead.

Making her way to the bedroom as her stomach lurched, turning on her heel and ran to the bathroom. Savannah fell to her knees and lowered her head over the toilet, she hated morning sickness. This pregnancy was strange as the nausea is all throughout the day, she couldn't keep anything down. 

Slowly standing and washing out her mouth, she looked out and saw her love out on the balcony. Picking up a soft towel, she wiped her face and walked into the bedroom towards him. Hearing his words she sighed softly and wrapped her arms around his waist, kissing his back gently. "My love, we will find them and you can have your revenge on those fuckers who did this to us" 

She took a deep breath as moved to the side of him and closed her eyes, Kassy stirred deep within her. 

"My queen, i'm picking up another presence close by. I've  sensed it before many centuries ago" she growled softly as she peeked out from behind Savannah's eyes. 

"My love, Kassy said she is picking up something close but not close to the mansion" she looked up at him 

Vader was calmed slightly at Savannah's presence. She soothed him with her affection and just her atmosphere, and her constant reminder of what was truly important in life, the lives inside of her as well. He could sense them more and more each day. He was suddenly alert when she told him that Kassy could sense something close. He was irritated as he would've liked to continue to just enjoy the short time he had with his lover. He then began to spread out with the force and see if he could sense any hostility or any other negative feelings, but he couldn't seem to feel any.

He looked to her and saw her trying to see if she could find anything as well. There were no obvious signs of danger, but that was the same as the last time. There were none then either, until it was too late. Vader walked her back into the bedroom slowly, shielding her front with his back this time. He held her in a hug as they walked backwards. Once they were inside the room again, he shut the door to the balcony and pulled the curtains closed, so nobody from the outside could see them. He stood close to her, ready to move and protect her at the slightest hint of trouble. He kept his hands at his waist, and kept his senses sharp, waiting for any sign of anything.

"Where is it that she feels something? And what exactly is it that she's sensing?" Vader asked as calmly as he could.

Savannah walked back into the bedroom as she watched him close the curtains. "I don't know my love, but it seems that kassy has felt this presence before. It feels familiar to me also, i can't think of where from though. " A shiver ran down her spine as she wrapped her arms around her lover tightly, images flashing through her mind of someone grabbing hold of her hair and a scream.

"I don't like this feeling my love,  i have felt it before many centuries ago" Leaving his arms as she walked over the bed and sat down on the edge, sighing softly "Feels like if i am missing memories from when i was younger

Vader tried to keep his own anger and memories in check. He was feeling as useless as Anakin Skywalker was in this moment. He could feel the fear strongly coming from Savannah, it was thick in his senses. Usually feeling someone's fear excited him, made him feel pleased, but not this person. She shouldn't be afraid and he got no pleasure off of feeling it from her, whether it was him or not. Still he felt like he needed to do something about her feeling afraid, but what was there for him to do about it. He couldn't sense what she and Kass were sensing, he couldn't actively go and attack the thing that was bringing her fear, so all he could do was sit around and wait for it to come for her. This would also mean he wouldn't be able to in good conscience go and attack the hunters who have been one of the bigger problems all along as well. Vader sighed and knelled right in front of her as she sat down on the bed. He took her hands in his own gloved ones. 

"I know you're afraid of this feeling, this presence, but I need you and Kassy to focus, and concentrate. Try to lock in on it and give me a location so that I can see exactly what it is, or you're gonna have to try and remember what it is so that we know what we're dealing with here." Vader attempted to reason. 

He knew that she was normally confident or one to take on threats or anything head on. The fact that whatever this was riled her up so much, spoke to the level of the threat or the impact is had on her. He thought that the hunters were the worst things they could face or the things that scared her the most, but it would seem he was incorrect in that assumption. While it scared the Savannah herself, it only served to anger and frustrate the panther inside. She was the more defensive of the two. The only problem was, Savannah couldn't use her panther form while she was pregnant, and she was also vulnerable overall. None of this was a good predicament, and the fact there were so many unknowns only served  to frustrate Vader further. He did his best to compose himself though. He placed a hand on her stomach to attempt to communicate directly with the panther inside. 

"Do you remember where anything about this presence you sensed" He asked. 

Savannah's eyes changed color of amber as she felt the hands of Vader on her stomach. Kass linked to him " My lord, over the centuries and with places that the queen has been this presence has followed her. First time she met this thing was at her birthday celebrations, it chased through the forest. If it wasn't for her father's second in command Gregori coming to her aid that night, who knows what would have happened to her. I can tell you now it was not a hunter, it was worse a Master vampire that i could sense and he was obsessed by the sight of her. My lord i feel she is petrified and it is not good for her and the twins. " 

Kass sighed as she curled up within the mind and settled down, keeping watch. "Savannah needs to sleep also as this is whats causing her to feel nausea more through out the day. Speak with Gregori as he is worried over this too" before closing the link between them and closing her eyes as Savannah lifted her head and looked at her love before her in a daze.

Vader listened very carefully to the information that Kass gave to him. Before she even suggested it or finished speaking, he already drew the conclusion that his best bet to sort this out or at least get more information on the subject would be to go and speak to Gregori. He didn't particularly like the idea. Actually he didn't like the idea at all, but he was all about results, and if going to talk with the one he didn't want to talk with would help Savannah, then he'd put himself through it. It was the least he could do. It was good to learn that her increased nausea was tied to this thing's presence though. Unfortunately, so was her fears and worries though. This was very bad timing to say the least, but he appreciated Kass giving him the information she did. He sent calming vibes through the connection, with his powers of the force. He then stood up and looked at Savannah. With his mask and helmet on she couldn't see his facial expression, but there was worry in his eyes. 

He laid a hand on the top of Savannah's head. It was meant to comfort her, he knew he couldn't send her images like she could, but it would've been useful. He gently brushed the side of her head, moving the hair out of her face, and brushed her cheek with his gloved hand as well. 

"You need to rest my Queen. Even Kass thinks so. I will talk with the one who has prior experience with this situation, and we will get it taken care of. The warriors will have to take care of the scouting and the attacks on the hunters will have to wait, until this bigger threat is taken care of first." He said. 

He gently helped her slide back on the bed so that she could be more comfortable. He then laid the covers over her once she was comfortable, gently placing a hand on her stomach once more. He then made his way to the door of the bedroom but stopped right in front of it, to see if he could sense Gregori. He had found his signature during the times they had been going back forth with each other, so he always knew where he'd have to avoid. It didn't take long. He could sense Gregori was in Savannah's office. It seemed whenever there was an important conversation to be had, it was usually held there. 

Vader left the bedroom and made his way there, walking as quickly as his legs and breathing would allow him. When he reached the office, the door was slightly cracked open. He wasted no time fully opening it and walking right through. He looked at the man who he didn't get along with all that well. He didn't look back but he could hear Vader's breathing through the machine in his suit, so he already knew who it was. Vader stood directly in front of the desk while Gregori continued looking down at whatever he was looking at. 

"We need to talk." Vader said and waited to see if that would grab the man's attention. 

Savannah laid upon her side as she wrapped the blankets around her tightly, scared of closing her eyes to sleep. As the dreams turn into nightmares in matter of minutes. Her eyes closing as exhaustion took hold, slipping deeper and deeper into a dreamless sleep.

 While downstairs, Gregori looked up from the paper work that he was writing up, sighing softly as he heard the breathing from the man in the mask. "What can i do for you? Your worried over Savannah, as am i"  He stood and came around the desk to lean against it, frowning as he couldn't see the face of this male before him  "I  sensed the change in Savannah tonight, the panic and fear, it was like that night that led me to her all the centuries ago when i found the Master vampire standing over her . If i hadn't found her that night he would have taken her. "

Walking over to the window and looked out into the night, he could sense the caring this male had for his mate and queen. Even if he did look scary "the nausea is unlike ive seen before, she is fighting to sleep and this is worrying  for me"

Vader didn't like being read, and he didn't like being predicted. This is one of the reasons why he was happy for the mask and helmet he now had to wear, and one of the reasons he hated the breathing machine he was attached to. It made the person who was around him, who knew how a person's condition was based off their breathing, his worst nightmare. Vader was indeed concerned about Savannah and her conditions, but he wanted to look more dutiful than he wanted to seem overly concerned. Vader crossed his arms over his chest, careful not to mess with the machines attached to the suit. 

"You assume too much, healer." Vader addressed coolly. 

The other man had spoken to him all without looking at him the whole time in an indifferent kind of tone, and so Vader figured he'd return it. He could sense the man's own concern and worry about Savannah. There was never any doubt about the way the man had felt for the queen, the only question was if he would help Vader or not. Considering the fact that they were about to be working toward the same goal ultimately. 

"One thing you are correct about, Savannah is very concerned about this person who is now back looking for her once more. The panther inside of her is stirring and getting riled up from the presence as well, and even you have spoken on the nausea and the reluctance to rest. The point being is that something must be done about this threat, before we can do anything about the other one. If Savannah is unsettled then the warriors will not be focused on dealing with the hunters. We need them to stay on that target, while you and myself handle the vampire. That being said I need to know everything about the last encounter with this being and everything about it as a whole. Then we need to locate it." Vader decreed. 

Gregori nodded "Correct, we must keep her calm but how to do it. I've been through my notes as i have kept an account of that night and kept watch over Savannah for centuries" walking back the desk and lifts up a picture  of the master vampire known as Alexander "This is the one the is plaguing her and have done since that night."

Ho looked up and frowned as he tried to sense Savannah sleeping but it was being disturbed. "she is asleep at last and kass is resting and calm. " Gregori sighed as he sat back down, picking up a vile and puts it in front of Vader  "Give her this as it will settle her stomach. before you ask it wont harm the babies as i have given it to her mother when she was suffering with morning sickness to"

Vader took the vile from the man and held it firmly in his fingers. The man would know better than to do anything to harm the women and her children in the first place. He wasn't worried about that, because Savannah would tear him apart herself if he was to do anything like that. The idea briefly passed through his mind if this man or any of the other people could be under the influence of powers from the master vampire or maybe in cahoots with the hunters, but he didn't think so. They all seemed deathly loyal to Savannah and her people. He'd have to address and learn the political climate of Savannah's people some other time, just to know what to keep an eye out for, but now was not that time. 

Vader tucked the vile the man gave him, away in one of the compartments on his belt. He'd go and bring it up to Savannah later, or have one of the workers in the manor do it. He had bigger problems to solve. He crossed his arms once more over his chest and assessed the information the man gave him about the time before. He didn't give him much information about the damn vampire, only that it was bothering Savannah, which he already knew. 

"This concoction is only part of the solution. The full solution is to deal with the threat as I have said. Finding it and killing it, which is what you should have done long ago. The fact that this menace and threat to your queen has been allowed to run around unchecked for so long is a failing on your part of protection healer. This along with the hunters being around this long, can no longer stand." Vader berated. 

He realized he was losing a grip on his anger. He was unconsciously squeezing his fist into his arm out of anger. Red was also beginning to fill his vision. He stepped closer toward the desk menacingly. 

"You can play with your mixtures and continue to sit and fear and worry if you would like to. Sit with the queen and keep herself. In the meantime, tell me what it is that I need to know. Where the hell is this vampire at?! How do I find it, and how do I kill it?!" Vader asked with his voice raised in anger. 

"Your correct, we should have dealt it. The thing was, when i took Savannah back to her fathers home. Me and a few other of the warriors went back out in search for this Master and his puppets . We found out where he had been sleeping during the day and what we found  was really bad. There was bodies of young women chained to the walls drained and raped. " Gregori clenched his fists as he remembered the sight in his mind. "I have been gathering information on the likely places he could be. There is one place that fitted the profile, i found it on my way here the night of the shooting and it's just outside of the town in an abandoned what looks like a old asylum. " Picking up a map and pointed to the spot, along with the blue prints of the place. "There was a lot of activity, just maybe many of the women of the city have been taken there for food " 

A maid, who had gone in to check on the Queen screamed as she saw a figure bent over Savannah with blood upon his lips. Alexander turned his head and took hold of the maid's mind "You came in and checked on her, finding out she was sleeping peacefully and you never saw me" he said in a low voice before  vanishing into the night sky . The maid awoke from her trance and walked over to the side, stroking her hair softly as she spotted the blood upon the neck.
