Tale of Lost Love and Hatered
This tale begins in the late 1700s early 1800s. The age of power was just beginning and the power struggle was just starting between the lycans and the vampires. London at night became a war zone the cries of beasts and the screams of mortals filled the air.The vampires held the high end district and well the lycans ran in the sewers. But their was one who could careless about the war or the struggle that ensued his fellow immortals. He was a out cast the one that all feared for he was what was known as a hybrid he was bitten by both lycan and vampire he could walk out in the sun and take the form of a large wolf but he never fought for he had no side to choose and nether side would have him.
Now our tale begins in the year 1799 in late December it was three days before Christmas and the whole city was filled with cheer and happiness heck even the lycans and vampires stopped their struggle for the time being. Now the main story begins we find ourselves standing out side a small yet well cared for house of a well founded family that had two daughters the oldest having soon be married on Christmas day and the youngest soon to be engaged to the wealthiest man in the city son. The oldest daughter was in her room one day before her wedding night when the window was thrown open and a tall lanky man stepped in his skin pale a top hat on his head his long black hair pulled back into a ponytail his ruffled shirt and silk vest fit loosely on his torso his legs are covered in what seems to be black leather dress pants and old military ridding boots on his feet and what seems to be metal gauntlets that have talons have been graphed to his hands he moves to her with grace and speed he pins her to the wall leaning in his fangs showing, she tries to scream but no sound emits from her fear frozen body he leans in closer and his crystal blue eyes looks into hers, he then speaks in a raspy voice "Listen to me child the one who you are about to marry is not what he seems he is a child of the night and he only wants you so he can bring half breads into this world and start the war of immortals back up a war that I will not see happen..." his taloned fingers dig into her neck she stares into his eyes with fear he smirks and lets her go then moves back to the window turning his head back to her and speaks again "....if you have a brain in your head you will not go through with the marriage child" he then turns and steps on the window sill and readies to jump out ,she lets out a small noise he stops and turns his head to look at her she looks at him, her voice shaky and a soft whisper "Who are you and what is it to you who I marry?" he chuckles and moves out from the window and stands at his full height of 7ft tall he looks down at her then bows and in the same raspy voice "how rude of me to not introduce myself I am known as Riven and I only want to prevent a war that would destroy this city " he then turns and moves back to the window and turns his head one last time to her "and you better take what I say and not wed this guy" he then smirks and tips his hat to her "take care little Bri" he then leaps out the window and lands on the street and moves to a dark ally and heads back to his world of darkness, she runs to the window and looks out trying to see what way he went she sighs and then closes it and heads to bed thinking on what se was told.
It was the day of the wedding and Bri was getting ready she then thinks of what was said the night before and tries to shake it from her mind. The one who she was to marry was a tall and dark man who seemed to have money and to be in with the right crowed in the city. After about a hour of thinking Bri went down and took him to a room off from the main ball room and closed the door she looked at him and tilted her head "Matthew I was visited last night by a man called Riven.." matt growled at this name and glared at her "what did he say to you " his face filled with hatred. Bri looks at him with wide eyes filled with fear more fear then what Riven caused her "he told me not to marry you and im not after what I just saw in your eyes " she goes to open the door but before she could he was on her and slammed the door shut and locked it "you will marry me and there is nothing you can say other wise that would change your fathers mind he will not believe you..."he smirked and then the window comes crashing in and Riven comes flying in growling "how dare you Maltose she said it was off and you better leave before I have to make you " Maltose turns and growls at Riven "this is none of your concern you mixed breed piece of....." but before Maltose could say anything Riven was on him and had him pinned to the wall he turns to Bri "run and get out of here lass this is not for your eyes " she nods and leaves the room and as she does Riven takes Maltose and nocks him out cold then carries him out the window and to his elders.
Its now 1805 and the war of the immortals is now back up to full swing and now Riven is fighting for his own life and the lives of the mortals who he watches over. Its been now six years since Riven stopped Bri's wedding to Maltose the leader of the lycans and now Maltose is out for revenge as he was just released from his imprisonment by his elders. "Riven has stopped us all from getting new blood into our fight and now he fights for the mortals he keeps them safe and he watches over one most of all and I will be going after her tonight..." Maltose then heads out in the light of the full moon and heads to his exes house he had sent out some of his lesser minions to draw Riven away Maltose burst into the house where Bri lives and slaughters her family in front of her eyes and then turns to her, "I have a special thing for you my love" he smirks as he moves slowly towards her grabbing her by the arms and pinning her to the wall, raping her and just as he finishes with her limp body, he rips her throat out and leaves her dead hanging in the window for Riven to see when he gets back from his other task he laughs and runs out knocking over a few lamps and the oils spill out onto the floor and catch with flames. When Riven returns from his fight with the other lycans he sees smoke and flames in the sky his eyes widen as she runs with the crowd to the fire his fears had come true he sees its Bri's house and the fire fighters where there trying to keep the flames from spreading to the others he then rushes through the crowd and barrels past the police as he runs into the house he gets to Bri's room and sees her hanging there with her throat ripped out he lets out a howl of anger and pain as he takes her down and carries her out the back and runs off to his dwelling at the old factory he then removes a coffin from the wall and places her in it for he loved her but was unable to tell her so. He rests her in the coffin and places a kiss on her lips he tastes her blood he then removes the pendant that she always wore and placed it around his neck as he closed the lid. After about a day or mourning he built a fire and placed her coffin on it then set the fire he said a old pray for her he then left grabbing his sword of silver and axe of hate and went to hunt the ones who took his love from him.
Its now the late 1800s and the city of London has been in a secret war of the night Riven has been on a killing spree for all of those years and has almost killed off all of the lycans and vampires in the city he has now gone into hiding and hibernation .
Its now about 100 years later and the lycan and vampires have returned to about half of their original strengths and Riven has woken back up from his sleep and has returned to his hunting of his immortal enemies. Though one day he was walking down the street in his top hate and Victorian clothes but he also now wears a trench coat over is older vest and shirt it also hides his weapons of old his sword and axe as he walkes the crowd moves away from him and stared at him and how he dressed most thought he was a Goth or a drug user but if they only truly knew what he did and how he keeps them safe from the true horrors that hunt them every night, as he walks down the street where his old loves house use to be before it was burned, looking up and in his surprise, he sees her house was rebuilt and was now a museum to her families murder he walked in looking around and a picture was on the wall of him running into the house as it was burning down and a plate was under it the reads 'the one that confused the police' he chuckles and shakes his head, "if they only knew the truth about what really happened that night..." he was cut off by another voice it was a females it seemed like one that he knew but he turned and it was the tour guide for the museum he listens in ".....and this is where the burned bodies of the family were found but one family member was not found most think she killed them and set the house ablaze but most think she was rescued by the man in this picture over here..." she woudl lead them over to the picture with the plate under it "...from the reports we have found a tall and lanky man ran into the house as it was burning then a howl was heard, both he or this girl where ever seen again...." She looked up at Riven then to the picture then back to him then to the crowd that was there "this is the end folks please feel free to look around and take pictures " and when she turned around he was gone she walked the house looking for the him she finally found him in Bri's room, he had passed the chain that was across the door he was holding the pendent in his right hand and looked around quietly a few tears filled his eyes as he mumbles "...why did I leave that night I should have stayed and watched over you like I always did my love....." he sighs and then kneels down holding the pendent to his chest she walks up and puts a hand on his shoulder and bends down kissing his cheek "its been a long time Riven" he looks up at her with wide eyes he looks at her "how.." She places a finger on his lips "After you left me in coffin I was reborn as a lycan Maltose didn't kill me he turned me with out meaning to...." she sighed abit and looked him back in the eyes "..So ive been looking for you ever since then and when I heard you went on a killing spree to seek revenge for me and my family I went into hiding till I had enough money to rebuild my house. So i then turned it into this museum and have been waiting for you to return" he looks at her in shock then stands and holds her close and kisses her deeply and passionately now his heart was whole again as was hers. The ones who he hunted left them alone in fear of what he would do to them.
Its now about 20 years later, Riven and Bri now living together but they never married Riven still protecting the mortals and Bri running her museum. Its about mid July and all was quiet in the city which to Riven meant trouble for when it went this quiet both the clans where in talks with each other for a all out battle somewhere in the city.
Its now two days from Riven's last confrontation with either side on the streets and this let him relax but in his mind there was a sinking feeling that something was wrong he never told Bri about this and felt it was for her own safety not to know. That night Riven went out in is normal patrol of the streets his now steel clad combat boots clanked on the concrete side walk and his axe and sword hung at his side his trench coat flowed behind him as he walked sparks strike up with each foot fall he turns down a ally one clad in darkness and shadows the sound of scurrying rats and the calls of cats echoes around him then out of nowhere five shadows fall in behind him and another four in front of him and cold and dark voice fills the ally, "how dare you enter our domain you vampire you know full well that you are not to enter our area till the talks are over " Riven chuckles and then looks to the Wolf that had spoken.... "you think I am that of a low vampire you flea bitten mongrel " Riven draws his sword and axe readying himself for the attack the lead wolf growls "you are a fool vampire if you want to fight use all " he then laughs and gives the order to attack Riven swings his sword and takes the head off two of them he then brings the axe up and blocks one then takes a few hits on his back the claws cutting deep into his flesh he howls in pain and brings the sword up killing another three the four that remain back off he gets up and stands straight popping his neck looking at them "who's next..." was his only words before a alpha wolf came up behind him and nocks him out dragging him off to their lair as Riven wakes about three days later bound in chains and striped of all his weapons and most of his clothing only thing he has is his boxers he lifts his head and looks around the head alpha was standing in front of him smirking "so this is the mighty Riven that is written in our scripts of the past the one who has killed so many of both sides and fights for none" he chuckles and then back hands Riven and laughs louder Riven growls and then looks back up not even showing pain from the hit "if you where half the wolf that your master was you would not taunt a tied up foe and one as old as me and one who has fought against you like I have if I remember your laws right I have to be treated with respect and honor and being chained and beaten like this is nether" as he spoke the elders walked in and one of them moved forward and undid the chains and shackles letting him down and handing him back his clothing then walks back to the table where the elders had sat down Riven gets up rubbing his wrists he then picks up his shirt and puts it back on then his boots he throws his coat on and looks up to them "so the elders still run the clan with a iron fist I see" looking to the one that had let him down and handed him back his clothing he then looks to the alpha that was next to him then back to the elders then head elder stands and nods to Riven, "welcome to our home Master Riven and yes you are correct because of your age and war record against us you will be treated with respect and honor..." the elder was cut off by the alpha that was there "Sir he is a enemy and a vampire he does not command respect he is below use......" the elder growls and slams his fist on the table, "listen here you little pup you are not a high enough rank to even be here right now so get out or I will let Riven kill you for us " the alpha growls and storms out slamming the chambers doors the elder turns back to Riven, "My most deepest apologies for that please take a seat we have much to talk about...." Riven nods and takes a seat in front of the elders and listens to what they have to say.
Ok now going back in time three days to the night Riven was taken. Bri is sitting at there flat waiting for him to come home from his patrol she waits in bed candles lit as she is dressed in her sexy night gown sighs as the hours pass with out him there she then slowly falls asleep. Wakening the next morning and looks next to her she frowns as he is not there and wonders where he could be getting up and dressing she thinks he would be back that night so she heads to work and tries to put away that sinking feeling in her gut that something is really wrong that night she gets home hoping he would be there but alas he wasn't she frowns and then just heads to bed muttering to herself "where is he, he should have been home by now" she gets into the shower and then heads to bed in a depressed mood as she was now getting lonely if she ever knew what happened to him she would have died from worry so none of the elders sent word to her to keep her out of it as Riven wished till he had made up his mind.
Ok now back to the present day about two days into the talks with the elders of the Lycans Riven sits there listening to their offer and then thinks "ok so you want me to join you and fight the vampires but what's in it for me you never once said that and before I can answer I must know what I will get in return " he looks to the elders and one stands up and growls "you are lucky you are alive to hear this talk if we didn't need you would have been killed the other night" the head elder then glares to the one the spoke then looks at Riven, "you will be allowed into our clan and granted the title of elder and keep these younger ones under control as well as you will be treated as a lycan and not a hybrid " Riven listens then smirks, "well that's better then what the vampires have offered me but what about my mate Bri she is younger then me but she is one of yours her sire was Maltose, but I cant seem to find him anywhere in your clan was he killed " the elders that sat there all hissed and growled at the mention of Maltose and the head elder looked to Riven "that name is forbidden to be spoken he had dishonored the clan the night he attacked that family and set the house ablaze the one who is your mate was she the one who was never found" he nods and looks at the elders "she was never found because I took her out before the flames could get to her but I thought her dead and I set her coffin ablaze in a warehouse I lived in but I came out of hibernation to only find out she was alive and was turned and not killed by him " the elders listen then he nods "ok she to will be taken in and will be under you in the clan ranks she will be what ever you wish her to be " Riven thinks and then nods "we have a deal but how do I know you will keep your word on this " the elder takes out three vials each filled with a red liquid "these are the bounding fluids of the gods we the elders will put it on and so shall you and it will only vanish when the word and deed are done " Riven nodes and steps forward and holds out his arm the elder opens them and pours a drop of each on to Riven's arm then on to his own the to each of the other elders then puts them away he looks up to Riven "you are free to go we will send word out to you when the time is ready " Riven nods and walks out of the lair and heads home it takes him about four hours just stayign in the shadows and ally, After the trip he opens the door and walks in scaring Bri as she walked out of the bathroom with out a towel on thinking she was alone, he smirks and hugs her tightly she screams a bit he chuckles "Well this is a nice welcome home love " she looks up and then pushes away from him "You!!! Where have you been the past week you piece of shit!!!! " she growls at him, he smiles then pops his neck and removes his clothing and heads into the bathroom the claw marks on his back and the whip marks on his chest have scared over he gets into the shower he cleans off and as he gets out she was still nude and was looking at him "ok so where have you been " she growls again, he sighs then steps out and then hugs her "love we are being taken in by the lycans as a gift since I am fighting for them in the upcoming battle " she looks at him in shock " what ...." She was lost for words at this and then hugs him tightly he smiles and picks her up and carries her to bed and then sets her down as he climbs in next to her and rubs her shoulders lightly his hands move down her back as he makes circular motions massaging, she lets out a happy sigh and relaxes forgetting why she was angry at him, he chuckles and rubs her back more and leans down kissing her cheek and then lays down next to her kissing her deeply and passionately as the night enters the sky......
This tale will never be done but this all that could be deciphered from the scripts of the fates and futures so this is not the end just the beginning...
