19 A Human Resistance Leader

Dmitri's POV:

I walked up to the car eagerly as it pulled up and Jason was just barely reaching the front door to come after me. "I'm getting my dragon today~" I purred happily and then turned to look at my mate. "Hurry up!" He slipped into the back seat with me and adjusted his weapons on him to get comfortable. This time there was more coming with us for the raid. I purred towards him then leaned over him, shutting the door and then kissed his cheek. "I'm getting my baby dragon today~" I laughed and bounced in excitement. "I wonder if it's a girl or a boy? What will I name it? It'll take nine months for it to hatch! I don't know if I can wait that long~!"

"You sound just like an expectant mother," Primrose muttered as she got into the car. "What are you? A girl?"

"It probably won't take that long, it might be older than a few days so that means you have less that nine months to wait." Jason told me. I bit my bottom lip then nodded and laughed happily.

"I can't wait!" I said and then wrapped my arms around him.

"Damn, if only you could get him pregnant Jason, we'd see if he would be as excited about his biological children like he is over a pet," Primrose joked and smirked at us. "Too bad...."

"No thanks," Jason said quickly. "I don't want kids but you can have some." She laughed.

"No way. I'm not giving birth to any kids," she told him then played with one of her guns as the car started to move. I laughed a little and then purred towards Jason, giving him a loving look. He still hasn't changed his mind about the dragon! He's the best! I thought he was going to tell me no but he didn't care! I kissed his neck sweetly and then started to give him a love bite in my excitement, purring to him. He pushed me back and pointed a finger at me.

"Calm down, okay?" I laughed and then kissed his hand.

"You know, you said I'd hate you after an hour, but I still can't find it in me to hate you," I purred sweetly. "I still can't believe you're letting me get a dragon without a fight!"

"Your vow to raise it and take care of it caused me to approve of you getting a dragon to mother," he said calmly. "That's all this is."

"I still can't believe it," I purred happily and then kissed his hand again. "I'm getting a baby dragon!" I laughed and then looked him in the eyes.

"I hope you'll keep your promise to be a good boy." He tapped my nose. I blushed and paused, looking at him.

"I w-will," I whispered to him and bit my bottom lip then leaned in and kissed his cheek softly. A good boy? He's still calling me that.... We started to pull up at the bridge again, parking in the woods by it. Jason slipped out of the car and fixed his weapons on him.

"Dmitri, you'll be leading a group inside. Primrose will lead a group to the left, Xzander gets the right side. I'll follow you in Dmitri with a back up squad. Let's keep this short and simple. Any vampire gets shot, leave the others to go. We'll search for the outpost leader and take him into custody to pay for the crime while the rest are sentenced to death immediately. Any other creatures that interfere with our shooting gets taken down as well for interference. Xzander and Primrose will deal with the after math when we are finished. Let's move out." I nodded and then got to my feet. I get to lead a group? He's not babysitting me either! I smiled and then carried my gun towards the bridge and waited for the men to get sorted out between us before I started to head across the bridge, taking it by storm.

~Time Skip~

I ducked into the egg room as shots were being fired everywhere outside. I glanced around, seeing that a few crates had been sold since I came in here last, but no one was in here right now... good. I smirked and started for the room where she had taken my egg yesterday and went inside, heading for my egg. It was pretty close to being over anyways, so I don't think that they would mind me getting my egg right now while it's still safe here and not taken away. The battle is wrapping up outside and coming to a close. I put my gun over my shoulder on a strap and then walked up to my small box on the lower shelves and pulled it out, purring as my eyes landed on my egg. "Hey there," I purred softly to it and then pulled the egg out of the box. "I've got you~" It started to tingle at my touch, weight shifting around inside. I smiled a little and held it close. "Did you miss me?" I asked it softly and then started to carry the egg out of the room. "I get to take you with me tonight...." I made sure that my body warmth was reaching it as I was waiting by the door to the hall, listening to the gunshots as they began to die down. I wasn't going to risk going outside while the shots were firing, not with my egg. When it was silent, I walked out into the hall and glanced around before I started to walk to the meeting point with Jason. Jason was listening into one of his ear pieces, frowned with irritation.

"What do you mean you can't find the post leader?" Jason asked and took his ear piece off and crushed it. I frowned and then slowly stopped walking, looking him over. So... the leader got away? I bit my bottom lip and then hid my egg against me.

"It wasn't apart of the formal resistance yet anyways," I whispered to Jason. "He was probably killed in the firing. I don't think anyone knew who he was... and I didn't even meet him yesterday.... We can search the files here to see who bought at the auctions and then track them down to question them if you'd like. They might know about other posts," I suggested, trying to be helpful. Then again... I know about all the posts... all the official ones... and I know the leader, but I still haven't told him. I managed to stay out of sight of Silas when they brought him in last night....

"It's okay, we have an informant and a list to go through still~" Jason told me and dropped the ear piece then looked me over. "So, let's see your award winning egg." I smiled huge and then walked over quickly.

"This is my eggy," I told him sweetly and revealed it to him. "It's a Night dragon. I opted for one of these instead of a sun dragon. I didn't want one that would worship the sun and cry when it goes down... even if they make and give gold away," I whispered. "Besides, this one likes me. It started to move when I picked it up and the storms on it's egg shells appeared when I touched it." I smiled sweetly and looked at the egg then up into his eyes.

"You're easily impressed," he told me and smirked before looking around us for his gathering men.

"Am not," I whispered and then laughed, looking down at the egg. "You're going to love me," I purred to the dragon egg and then held it closer. "I'll have to do my best to research what I can about taking care of you to make sure you get everything you need...." I laughed and then looked up at Jason before I stole a kiss from him. "I love you," I purred to him. He blushed and looked towards me.

"You're getting really emotional." He smirked towards me. "Is it because I spoiled you?" I blushed a little and then bit my bottom lip as I saw him smirking. He's actually kind of hot.... I never noticed it much before... being so mad at him... except for that time I slept with him.

"Uh huh," I whispered and then looked at his lips longingly. I felt a strong desire for him as I stood by him, and I leaned in and kissed him again, purring to him before I deepened the kiss slightly then pulled away to not get shoved back. He looked me over then pointed a few feet away from him.

"Go stand there," he told me. I frowned at him and then growled a little at him. You'd think that after sleeping together he wouldn't mind being kissed. I stalked away from him and then sat down in the floor with my egg, sighing as I looked it over then smiled, running my fingers over the egg softly. I felt scratches against where my fingers were, creating tiny vibrations. I laughed and then kissed the egg.

"Don't scratch up your egg," I purred. "You might weaken it and get hurt~" I smiled sweetly and then nuzzled my cheek against it. The weight shifted to lean the egg against my cheek quickly. I laughed and then kissed it again. "Awww~ I love you too! I can't wait to meet you~" I kissed it again and then laughed again. "We're going to have so much fun together~ I'm going to be the best parent for you that I can be~" I smiled and then purred to it, curling up in the floor with it. Who needs Jason's moodiness? I got my eggy~

"You should start thinking about names," Jason told me.

"I will," I purred and then glanced his way. "By the way... there's no room in the bed anymore," I teased.

"I'll just sleep on top of you or move you into my room where we can have a bigger bed." Jason teased back.

"We found someone boss!" One of his soldiers shouted and brought forth a guy with an interesting appearance. He had brown natural messy curled hair that was up in a messy bun on his head. His eyes were the color of lavender. His cheeks were peppered with light freckles hidden slightly since he was wearing metal glasses. He had on leggings that had live constellations moving on it and a cute buckle belt. The guy had on shredded combat boots and a white t-shirt that was a size too big. I caught a shinny charm bracelet on his wrist as well. That's when I noticed his wrists were scarred by handprints that were burned into his flesh. I caught his scent that was mixing human with vampire. He smelled like the vampire scent was lingering near him- attached to his clothing and not actually being what he is. He appeared to be really young, around sixteen. "He was hiding out under the bar, heavily guarded by vampires and trolls." I frowned slightly as I looked towards the guy and then kissed my egg and brought it closer, protectively, as I eyed the male.

"We should take him and question him. He's obviously important or else he wouldn't have been protected like that," I told Jason. "Plus he's liked. You can tell by what he's wearing. It's probably the eyes... and the fact that he probably tastes good...." I got to my feet and then cradled my egg, watching the male closely with interest.

"Bite me and I'll be your worst nightmare," the boy threatened. One of the soldiers punched him in the gut, making his knees buckled and give out from under him. The guy holding him let him drop, holding his arms back a bit then kicked him in the stomach.

"Okay, that's enough!" Jason said firmly. "You there- what's your name and position here? No one is biting anyone. You're safe of that."

"My name is Charles Arroyo, I'm the leader here at this residence camp. Don't be so surprised." I frowned at him then. He's not even a vampire... or a full one. Is he full human or a halfbreed? I walked up to him curiously then smelled him.

"But you aren't a full vampire.... Is this why you didn't come see me yesterday and was working through that girl?" I asked him as I took a deep breath of his scent. It would make sense that if he wanted in the resistance, a group that would support enslaving him, that he would hide himself at first.... Maybe he planned on being turned.... He leaned away from me as I smelled him.

"I was busy yesterday," he told me. "Besides, I didn't know you visited until earlier tonight when I got in. Looks like you've betrayed the resistance for a couple of bullets and fangs." His eyes glanced over Jason. "Hunters."

"Well... I kind of had to. I'm mated to one of them," I mumbled to him. "Plus they caught me when they raided my outpost. Mine was one of the firsts to go...." I looked him over and then smirked. So we have a human on our hands as a leader. That's interesting....

"Sucks for you. Mates are such a drown. I hope you enjoy your tied down relationship for the centuries to come." He smirked as he looked me over. I narrowed my eyes at him. Why the hell did I promise to not bite people without permission anymore? I growled and exposed my fangs at him, hissing his way.

"Shut up. You're just a human. You don't understand a thing," I snarled at him.

"I do understand though," he chuckled softly. "You're their little pet now."

"Am not," I hissed at him. "I do what I want when I want and how I want." I narrowed my eyes at him and thought about biting him for a split second but held back. Jason would shoot me again.... "Why didn't you become a vampire if you wanted to be a leader of the resistance? Surely you would've known that the others would've made you into one or replaced you?"

"I haven't been replaced though. I'm doing a wonderful job as leader. Better than you." He looked me over. "I managed to get dragons and unicorns. What were you selling? Humans? Pathetic." Oh, he's so dead.

"I was selling weres," I hissed at him then walked over to Jason, handing him my egg before I started for him. "I could snap your neck before you could blink, yet you still want to make jabs at me?" I hissed at him then narrowed my eyes as I felt my fangs aching to retaliate against him.

"Yeah, but you would have already if you weren't tamed by your owner. Bark." I snarled at him and tackled him to the floor in seconds, ripping him away from the soldiers as I pinned him down. Killing him is not worth it... but turning his little smug ass is. I hissed at him and then started for his neck quickly. He placed his hand against my chest and suddenly I was shocked and thrown back ten feet.

"Please restrain your mutt," he said calmly. I groaned as my whole body ached from the shock then slowly sat up, glaring him down. Oh, he's dead.... He's so dead.... I got to my feet and pulled out my gun, aiming him down as I stalked up towards him, my fingers itching to pull the trigger on him. I narrowed my eyes then shot him in the leg. He let out a scream of pain and panic crossed his face as he started for his wound.

"Please don't kill him," Jason said calmly and walked up, snatching the gun from me. "You need to remember you've got the power here. He's just a human." I widened my eyes and looked towards my gun then at Jason. He just stole my gun! I frowned and then glanced the guy over then sighed. At least I shot his leg.... I looked up at Jason then took my egg back, cradling it before I kissed it.

"Mhmmm... torture him," I told Jason.

"Primrose! Come dig this bullet out of the human and heal him!" Jason yelled, looking around for his sister. She pushed her way through the crowd and then smirked.

"Sure," she said and then looked the human over before she walked over and then knelt down beside him before she started to painfully dig the bullet out of him. I watched for a few minutes then glanced Jason over before I started to walk off.

"Come on eggy, I don't want you catching whatever that human has," I purred softly. "You don't need to be exposed to that."

"Stay here," Jason told me. "I don't want you running off." Charles fell over, passing out from the steady blood loss. I frowned and looked back at Jason.

"Why would I run off?" I asked him. "I already had the chance to shoot you multiple times if I wanted to leave." I smirked and then walked back to him. "You just don't want me out of your sight because you like me even if you do kick me and yell at me and shove me," I purred to him, looking him over. Cute.... "Too bad because eggy already has the spot next to me in bed."

"You're in trouble for shooting the human," he told me with a serious look.

"Really? He shocked me," I complained and then pulled my egg closer to me. "I think he should be in trouble. He's a current leader of an outpost, he's sassy, and he shocked me."

"You attacked him. You need to keep your cool, even when you're being provoked. You have to remember that you're more powerful than a human. Anything you do that is bad reflects on your reputation, which will come straight back to me." He walked up to Primrose and examined the human. "So, which one of my siblings wants to babysit this one?" He asked. Primrose looked up at him as she finished healing the human and frowned.

"Give him to Xzander. He's already watching Silas and his fledgling. Might as well give him another crazy to watch," she told him then pulled away from the human and got to her feet. I watched them then looked down at my egg and sighed. Great... he's mad at me again. I watched as Xzander walked up and picked Charles up, looking him over. Charles fluttered his eyes open and rubbed his leg, looking up at Xzander.

"Well I guess that's settled. Primrose, you're staying here to sort out things. Let's all go home." Primrose nodded to Jason and then started to walk off, grabbing a guy to work with her. I sighed and then started to walk towards the front of the building. Maybe I could work at getting Jason interested in me later... or just not worry about it. I don't know if it's really worth my time to try to build something with him. He will be himself and that is a moody hunter that wants to find something wrong with me every single time I breath. I'm better off focusing on my egg only.... Jason started to lead us to the car, walking us off of the post and past the bridge to the waiting cars. I followed after him then got into our car first, sitting in the middle like I did on the way up here. I glanced Jason's way as he got in then gave him a small smile.

"Hi," I purred to him. He looked towards the egg in my arms then shut the door.

"Are you ready to go home? We should get a warm nest for your egg." I nodded.

"Yeah, I'm ready to go home," I told him and then purred. "The egg is sleeping with me though, but maybe we should get a few heating pads to put under the sheets with it."

"We'll have to keep your room toasty for the egg." The car started up and started to drive us home. I nodded.

"That'll be fine," I mumbled and then leaned my head against his shoulder as I looked down at the egg and ran my fingers across it. "I want to be there every step of the way with it...." I felt the weight shifting around again. I laughed and then leaned down, kissing the egg. "You're just a sweetheart, aren't you? You love your daddy, don't you?" I purred to it and then held it against my chest so it could hear my heart beating. "There you go. You're going to stay close to me~" It started to scratch the inside of it's egg again against my chest. I laughed and then kissed the egg again. "Don't scratch it~ What if you accidentally opened the egg and you get hurt? You don't want to hatch early~"

"Don't encourage the dragon to hatch early," Jason told me quickly. "Sit it down and don't move it so much so the little guy will fall back to sleep." I whined and then looked towards Jason.

"But... but it needs me," I told him and then pouted.

"It needs you to hold it close and keep still." I frowned and then looked at the egg.

"O-okay," I whispered and then sat it down in my lap. I guess that makes sense... to let it sleep. If it likes me so much and if I keep giving it so much attention, it wouldn't.... I sighed softly and then looked up at Jason before I kissed his cheek. "You're right."

"You can play with it once it hatches," he purred and looked out the window. I nodded and then watched him before I looked away from him. I guess I could find something else to do... like learn how to tease Jason. That would be interesting to do.... I laughed and then closed my eyes, taking a nap. When we got home, I got out and took my egg up to my room, placing it on the bed and then pulled the sheets around it closer to keep it warm. I'm kinda hungry....

"Jason! I'm hungry!" I complained and walked out of the room to find him.

"Ask one of the maids!" He told me, I could hear him downstairs. I frowned a little and then sighed. Oh well.... I started my search for a maid and then asked for a bottle of blood, following her downstairs and to the kitchen where I got one and opened it.

"Thanks," I told her and smiled before I walked out and went to find Jason out of curiosity. I found him in a study where he was marking up a map, crossing off where we've been. I smirked a little and leaned up against the doorway, watching him as I sipped on my blood. He finished with the map and started for the door, stopping right in front of me.

"You asked for that, right?" He asked me.

"Yeah," I told him. "I asked then followed her to the kitchen." I smirked at him and then took another sip of the blood. "I even thanked her."

"Good boy," he slipped past me and started for the basement doors. I frowned and looked him over.

"What are you doing?" I asked him and followed after him. He's not after my sister, right?

"I'm going down to the basement to check on Silas's conditions and then headed to that human to play torture." I bit my bottom lip. Silas huh? Well... I could wait outside. I think I'd like to watch the human though... after he shocked me like that. I continued to follow him and finished up my bottle of blood, setting it down on a table as I passed it.

"Okay," I purred to him. He walked down to the basement and went into a cell.

"Silas," he purred. "Do you need anything while I'm down here?"

"Yeah, could you get us two bottles of blood again? Stormy is hungry," I heard Silas say innocently. I frowned slightly as I waited on the other side of the door. He sounds off.... Did something happen to him? "Oh, and we'd like to be able to take showers soon... and maybe to enjoy a nice walk outside. I think it would really help me to get some fresh air," he purred happily. "Oh, and maybe if you could send Xzander down later. I'd love to be able to have a nice chat with him and maybe a few rounds of chess? Oh, and could we get a TV down here? Please? I'd like to be able to watch some movies to pass the time with my sweet Stormy. You're such a great guy Jason... watching over me and making sure I get better. Thank you so much for all this~ I really needed to get away from him for a little while."

"I'll send a maid in with two bottles of blood," Jason told him and stepped out, shutting the door then called a maid, telling her to bring him two bottles. He started down the hall then. "Xzander! Where are you and that human!?"

"In here brother!" I heard Xzander calling from further down the hall. I followed after Jason quickly and purred. Jason walked into a cell after finding the right one. Xzander looked up at us from where he was sitting in a chair with the human chained to the bed. "Hey, want some alone time with him?" He got to his feet and smirked, walking up. "I could find something else to do.... I have all kinds of play toys lined up on the far wall for you to play with."

"No, you don't have to leave so soon." Jason kissed his brother on the cheek. Xzander laughed.

"Alright," he said and then looked towards the human, walking over and unchaining him from the bed and then started to take him to the hook hanging in the center of the room and chained him up to it by his wrists. "There..." He purred and then smirked, looking towards Jason then pulled out a knife and started to cut Charles's shirt off him.

"Don't do that," Charles warned as he watched Xzander.

"Heh," Xzander laughed at him. "You can't stop me. You won't be needing this shirt, and it makes it easier to get at your skin without it there," he purred and then ripped the rest of it off him and trailed the knife's point down his chest. He laughed and then exposed his fangs. "Let's see.... I think maybe if we whipped you enough, you'd bite your tongue off.... Maybe if we cut off a few of your toes... and possibly stretch you out.... We'll have lots of fun with you before we're through today...." Xzander started for the torture tools and looked them over before he grabbed a whip with a wooden handle and walked up, trailing it across Charles's body. "You're actually not that bad looking... too bad we're going to put some scars all over you.... Let's turn him when we're finally finished with him and we've broken his mind," he suggested, looking over at Jason. "I wouldn't mind keeping him around if we get all that bark out." I frowned slightly and then walked over to Charles's bed, sitting down on it to look him over and watch. "I'm going to have lots of fun with you. This won't even be the worse I'll do to you," Xzander purred into Charles's ear with a smirk before he pulled away and whipped him across his chest hard, drawing blood. Charles let out a groan of pain then yanked on the cuffs.

"I told you not to take my shirt off," Charles hissed. "You're going to regret doing it." He looked towards the weapons table and one of the knives flung off of it and stabbed Xzander in the leg. "Say you're sorry." Xzander yelped a little then looked towards the knife. He narrowed his eyes and then smacked Charles across the face, making his head whip to the side and cough up blood.

"Jason, we'll need to find a way to suppress his powers before we go too far into torturing him," Xzander said and ripped out the knife, tossing it to the side.

"Well do you have an idea?" Jason asked. "We could call a witch." The shackles suddenly unlocked and Charles rubbed his wrists.

"That's much better." Xzander looked towards Charles then frowned.

"Call a witch," he told Jason quickly. "I'll babysit him while we wait for one." He grabbed Charles then looked towards me. "Up." I got up quickly and moved, watching as Xzander sat Charles down where I had been then sat beside him with a sigh as he held Charles's hand. He looked Charles over then smirked, leaning in and gently biting him. I suddenly smelled him marking Charles, making me cringe. Gross, he's using his venom to make Charles calm down and stay.... Charles moaned and melted against the bed, looking dazed. Jason stepped out of the cell to make the call. Xzander smirked and licked his lips clean, watching Charles.

"Good boy," he purred to Charles and then leaned in, kissing his cheek. "You liked it, didn't you?"

"Yeah," Charles said innocently and rubbed his neck. Xzander laughed and then looked him over.

"Maybe I'll start to reward you for good behavior with it," he purred to him and then pulled Charles into his lap. Charles let out a growl and pushed Xzander onto his back.

"You still owe me a sorry," he told him. Xzander widened his eyes a little then smirked at Charles.

"What kind of sorry?" He asked him playfully.

"A sorry and a shirt. That shirt cost me a lot and meant something to me." He pointed a finger towards Xzander before getting off him and started for the shredded shirt, pushing past me.

"Meant something to you? What, did you get it from a lover?" Xzander asked and sat up, watching him with a raised eyebrow. "I'll get you a new shirt, but you're going to behave. No more stabbing us or else I'm not going to be nice to you."

"No more taking off my clothes then," Charles told us and picked up his shirt and started to put it on, tying it to make it stay. "I got this from a friend, not a lover. I had to trade a dragon's egg to get this piece of cloth. I don't plan on just letting you throw it away." He turned towards him "I'll play nice if you do, deal?" Jeez....
