SOL VICENTE || HUNTER

When old foes arrive in the city, I tend to know about it.

I should have figured that a witch who has been around as long as you would know of the vampires. You know that this city is in trouble, then.

Colin furrowed his eyebrows, attempting to read Sol's expression and work out exactly what she was thinking. He just needed her to confirm that he was behaving crazy, crack a joke concerning his paranoia, and they could move on in the planning stages. However, that is optimistic wishful thinking bullshit on his part. "No, you can't be serious." Something about this did not feel right, but then he remembered that boy. Keep a tab on your memories, isn't that what he said? "Mik wouldn't lie to me. Why would he...why would he lie about being a vampire?" Colin shook his head furiously, gaze finding the huntress again. "Old friend isn't what it sounds like, Sol. I met him while I was out of town before we parted ways." It was maddening, unbelievable, unforgivable. "He made me forget, didn't he?"

"I am, and he lied because the only thing that vampires know how to do is to deceive and manipulate." Not all of them, at least, but Robin was such a small speck in the sea of Henrik's spawn– an anomaly to the point where he wasn't able to sway the reality of all the other vampires. She raised a brow, rubbing a hand over her face with an exhausted sigh. If there was even a chance that Mikail could be manipulating the witch, it could all be over for her. Between Colin and Loud-Mouth Robin, everything was crumbling. "He did make you forget, and the fact that you're still alive means he's either using you for some plan of his or he likes you alive, and that never happens. Not with Mikail. You would stay away from him if you valued your life. Being a favorite comes with a lot of scrutiny, scrutiny you don't want on you."

Robin knew he regretted telling Sol who was here almost as much as he regretted spilling his part of the plan to Mikail. The minute the punch came barreling his way, the dhampir released a loud painful groan as his head snapped backwards. "Fuck, Sol." He raised a hand to touch his nose which wasn't thankfully broken, but his fingers came back wet from the small stream of blood. His kind healed quickly, yet, that didn't mean he wasn't exempt from injury as part-human. "Okay, so, I let him get under my skin, that's Mikky for you. He's an asshole." Robin released a lengthy sigh and shook his head, "I'm going to fix it, Sunshine. My brother needs me to come back home and if I do that, my father won't come here and find you. I'll keep them all away."

The huntress flexed her fingers, taking stock of her sore knuckles before pushing the thought from her mind; instead, focusing on the dhampir completely. "The first rule of getting the upper hand on anyone is getting under their skin, you're giving him free real-estate living in your mind every time, and you're going to make more mistakes the longer you do," Sol all but chastised, regretting that she even cared enough to not just walk out the door and figure out some other point of action. "You're going to get yourself killed, is what you're going to do. They already know I'm here, I might as well figure out a better plan without you."

Okay, what's popped up and started causing problems now? I could fall into very old habits and sharpen every weapon in the armory my castle of a new home oddly contains. It would be nice getting back to my roots.

Vampires, and I would recommend doing just that. You might need them if trouble comes around your part of the city.

I could go for a nice little human shishkabob right about now.

You do that, and I'll make you a nice vampire shishkabob.

You never can be too prepared, that's my motto.

A vukodlak, you mean a wolf? Hang on, another old friend of mine came into town looking for his brother and said he's good friends with a Russian bar owner named Valentin. His father desperately wanted him to return home so badly that I even thought it was strange. Sorry, this isn't making any sense to me right now, Sol. It's probably just me connecting dots that don't really exist. These, um, these siblings of Robin...don't tell me he has a brother named Mikail.

"A type of wolf, but yeah." The words left her quietly, growing silent the more the witch went on– quite literally explaining her worst nightmare. The silence stretched as she stared at Colin, her mouth agape, before she forced it to shut with a deep intake of breath, pinching the bridge of her nose in exasperation. "Jesus Christ, not you too," Sol muttered before she leveled her gaze on Colin, "no, you're connecting dots that do exist. Robin has many siblings, but one of the most notable is Mikail. He's Henrik's firstborn, as close to a second in command as someone as power-hungry as their dad will let someone be, and you just called him... an old friend."

Mikail, Naomi, and the twins. My twins.

Mik practically shut down a birthday party when he tracked me down. I told him I was helping you kill my father, Sol, I don't even know what made me say it.

The names Mikail and Naomi instantly sent Sol's spine rigid, then the anger at being outed. The hunter turned her back on the dhampir for a second before whirling back around, punching him as hard as she could. "You don't know what made you say it? He got under your skin." The words came out in as much of a booming shout that someone of her stature could muster as she shook out her hand. "I hope you feel better letting your brother know my plans, because you've just jeopardized everything."

Sol, my Ray of Sunshine blossom, you need to leave right now. My siblings have started showing up and they know you're here.

What the fuck– Robin, which ones?

Something tells me it may not be standing for very long with the direction we're heading. I feel useless being of no help.

Demons aren't exactly this city's only problem anymore. I've been there. If you're tired of feeling useless, find something you can help with that's within your control. Even if it's small. It's all about baby steps.

Point taken, Vicente. Then I'd risk getting overheated and my powers wouldn't be working as well where it counts.

Robin's here? Oh, that's a development. When you are on a revenge-seeking mission to kill the monster who murdered your family, I can't blame you for not having a life. Do you require any assistance?

Where it counts? Do you expect to be slinging some snowballs at people any time soon?

He is. He's holed up currently with a vukodlak, but he and his menagerie of friends haven't tried taking my head off yet, so that's a positive. Actually, Robin volunteered to help me track and take down his dad, but it's on me to actually plan everything out– I don't exactly trust him enough to leave anything up to him, so if it comes down to that, I wouldn't hate some help. Henrik has children galore, and I wouldn't be surprised if he sends half of them after me once he knows I'm here.

Fuck, shit, god damn it, we're fucked now.

God, how could I be so stupid?

What the hell is wrong with you now?

Yet, I'm here because I can't stand being out of the loop. And the quicker you will end up the same as your family.

I said it was funny you would assume, I didn't say you were wrong. I never thought you were a fucking blood thirsty killer, Sol, but it is obvious to me you are not going to keep your distance and leave this alone. I'll help you draw him out. End it for good. He's an asshole who keeps taking by force, it's how I was born, after all.

Some just call that nosy. Who knows if he can actually kill me, Robin. I'm kind of defying odds at the moment for a mortal human.

No one deserves to be treated the way your father treats them, but why are you doing this now? If you wanted to get back at your father so much, then why didn't you help us, help me, when my family was alive? We would have had the manpower to ensure this isn't a suicide mission, you're so willing to believe it is.

Anything Spring and warm I am deathly allergic to. Thought you knew that.

Small world, Sol. What brings you here besides your hunt for the fang banger?

I do, but I'm not the one with ice powers freezing in winter. You could always try putting on more layers like a normal person.

Small world indeed. It's actually fang banger's son that brings me here– sorry to disappoint that I haven't exactly gotten a life since the last time we met.

True, but I am the first witch who you can't exactly hide your thoughts from. You were forced to this life along the opposite side that is the two-sided coin of your job. Some of those big players at the top happen to be my adopted family. Not bragging, just stating a fact.

I wouldn't ask you to walk away from it given its importance. His help will be beneficial to you if you both started acting as allies instead of enemies. There's always a reason why he hasn't left you alone, but I'll ask you this. What happens after the revenge is paid?

I would be more worried about that fact if I were prone to keeping secrets. Let's just say that coming to grips with dying has changed me a lot to be able to embrace both sides. I'll try to stay out of their way, then.

I never regarded him as an enemy, despite what my family might have me believe or do. I don't believe all supers should be killed, but that doesn't mean I can trust him with this. It doesn't matter why he stays or not. Once revenge is paid, I'm done. I go along with my life and figure out what to do with it. I'm not actually suicidal or thinking that revenge is the only thing keeping me going.

Revealing such sounds stupid, but I know you don't pose danger to me. It really depends on how exhausted or curious I am. I can block the smaller thoughts out, but many are loud in this city.

I watched it happen, could feel your devastation and the boy's fear. His son is very fond of you, huntress, fond enough he could potentially betray his own father.

You're not the first witch I've come across, but you're correct. Even though I'm a hunter, I was a researcher. Not exactly fond of the whole killing business, but exceptions have to be made sometimes. I'm not surprised by that fact... this city has a lot of big players in the mix.

I lost everyone I've ever cared about. I see the blood behind my eyelids; their screams haunt my dreams. I can't just walk away from that, and Robin will just get in my way at every turn for my 'safety'. His help would be a detriment.

I'm not saying that he won't beat my ass or force me to do something far worse. He's already catching whiffs of you here, Sol.

It's funny how you assume that I would even help you find my father if I knew where he was. Not that I'm unappreciative that you won't kill when all is said and done, but why let me live? And don't give the 'I'm not important' excuse. Why show me that mercy after what my dad did knowing I was a witness of it?

No one said you had to be here. The quicker he knows I'm here, the quicker he'll come out of hiding like the pathetic waste of space he is.

You know what, I don't need your help. I've gotten this far on my own, and I will continue to do so. Despite what you may think, I'm not a fucking blood thirsty killer. I will take down your father as retribution for the deaths of my family, but there's no point in killing pawns when it's the King I'm after.

I make it out here for the first time and I'm already freezing my ass off.

Ironic.

You could have waited until spring, you know. Autonomy and all that.
