#3 of The Scent of a Lover


Part 3 is done HAZZAH! lol. Thank guys for all off the favs, watches, and stars I really appreciate them. I have to say again if you guys think i need any writing advise or tips on my stories i will improve them. This part will be in Talbains view and we learn a bit about his past. So enjoy!

I couldn't believe my eyes and my mind was baffeled at the splendid sight i saw. I looked at a mansion the likes of which i haven't seen in a lifetime and was amazed that Collin owned it. I expected him ,like every hunter, to life in a old, rusty cabin that was almost unlivable but it appears i couldn't have been anymore wrong.

As we got closer I marveled at the design of the house it looked to be completely made of wood that shined off the sun and was hard as stone. The roof of the house had dark green tile on it and the windows were massive and had unique and extravagant designs. The door was also pretty big and made of a darker but equally shiny wood as the rest of the house.

I saw Collin put away his motorcycle in the shed that out of everything here was pretty unremarkable. He smiled at my wonder of his house and asked

"You like my house?"

I think i had my jaw open alittle and i was in wonder with his house. Like it? i asked myself I LOVE IT! As i turned back into my regular 2 feet form.

"Its.....its amazing" i said still in awe

"What until you see the inside of it" Collin said with a small grin

Collin walked past me and was about to open the door before i remembered he was a hunter and a werewolf living in his house seemed to much to ask of him. After all i need him to protect me and i think the best way to show that i was thankful of his kindness i have to be humble myself.

"Wait Collin?"

"What is it?"

"Listen i know this must be too much to ask out of you but i think i should live outside your house and look out for any signs off vampires or other werewolfs. What i'm trying to offer is that i would act as your 'watchdog' or 'guarddog' as repayment for your kindness and protection."

I bit my tounge waitng for Collins answer I hope he doesn't think i'm some sort of spy or something and would turn on him later. I would understand if he would accept and treat me like a 'watch dog' not giving me meals or taunting and yelling at me. After all everyone else does.

I saw Collin smile and put his hand on the pure gold door handle

"I should treat you like an honored guest and i intend to do that i have many bedrooms and i want you to sleep in one. After all it would be a good sign of peace between us right?"

I slightly tilted my head in acknowledgement of his answer and saw were he was coming from.

"Don't think i'm not being grateful for your offer i really appreciate the help and if you want to i could use some help on tracking down on a group of vampires that plague Glendale right now." Collin said with a kind and welcoming smile

I nodded and Collin began to open the door and he steped inside and turned on the lights. I followed close behind and saw stupified again by the sight. The inside design was the same on the outside shiny wood on every wall. The ceiling was a bright pure white that seemed to rival heavens light. Collin started to show me the mansion i would now be living in.

The living room was first, it had a comfortable looking leather sofa pointing towards a massive television hooked up on the wall above a fancy fire place. There were two chairs that were also made of leather on each side of the couch and was more closer to the fireplace then the couch was. Surrounding all of that were books, alot of books all across the living room wall. Collin had a small library in his house and this was stunning to me beyond belief.

Then he showed me the dining room. A table about 20 feet long with silver plates, cups, and fancy silverware was the first thing that caught my attention. A wide cabinet as long as the table on its side held even more fancy plates and other assortments and a few antique looking vases. It has been a long time since i have seen a place this fancy I wondered if i had stepped into a dream or something.

The kitchen Collin had was massive aswell. It had the same look as the rest of the house but had a refrigerator even taller and wider then me which could probably hold enough food to feed me for a month maybe even longer! The stoves and ovens were made of a dark metal and looked like they have never been used but all the same were clean and fancy. The cabinets surrounded half of the kitchen on the upper walls and were made of the same fancy wood as everywere else in the house. How did Collin get a place like this?

Laslty he showed my the 2 bathrooms which seemed to be almost perfect paradises to himself as they were both pure white and the wall and ceilings. He had expensive looking showers that were a welcomed sight considering my past. The sinks were also white and had a small cabinet containing an assortment of useless pills and other things i wouldn't need. The towels though, were oh so soft i felt like sleeping on them . They were thick and could probably dry the ocean on the touch and the smaller ones made of silk looked like they were made from god.

I chose the bedroom closest to Collin as they were all the same but that didn't mean they weren't amazing on their ownright. The bed had to a king size mattress and had so many layers of think and welcoming blankets and many pillows soft to the touch on it. Otherwise there was the dressers and the closet but i had little use of them. I only wear pants.

After all of that we wondered back into the living room and Collin turned to me and asked

"Well what do you think."

"I.....I....I can't believe you live in this place!" I said stunned at all the things i had just saw

"I'm glad you like it" Collin said with a kind smile

"So many rooms and items.....I could get lost in here!"

"Oh? Don't worry you'll get the hang of this place. And I'll even put a sign on your bedroom door saying WOLFIE on it so you know which one is yours" Collin said with a smirk and chuckling softly

I chuckled a bit too. At this rate he may have to. Still i wondered about this house, this house was clearly made for many people and Collin seemed to be the only one living here. Was this truly his mansion? Who else lives here? Couldn't hurt to ask i suppose.

"Is this really your mansion?"

"It is now."

"Who else lives here? Where are your parents?"

Collin looked down and away from me, i could sense the sadness on him and didn't want to make him cry on my first day here.

"Collin, i'm sorry I-"

"Please just, leave it at that" Collin said walking outside

I waited a few minutes until he came back in looking as if the sadness just awhile ago never happened at all. Best not to ask him about anything about his family i suppose i thought to myself. I decided to change the subject to a better one.

"Are you going back to the school?" i asked

"Nah, i kinda need a bit of a break from that place after all i have a guest in my house and i wouldn't want him to feel lonely right?" Collin said smirking

"Thank you Collin for letting me live here I own you so much"

"Its no big deal i could really use your company as i do get lonely out here sometimes."

"Keeping you company is not enough in my books. Don't forget i could be hunted down here by my fellow werewolfs and you claim you never fought one right?"

Collin nodded uneasily

"I need to train you how to fight a werewolf at close combat like melee or god help you hand to claw. I know you could probably kill one at a long distance fight with your guns. But the thing is we know you hunters have the advantage at a distance thats why charge at you hoping we can bring the fight to close quaters were we have the advantage."

"I suppose your right i could use the tips in case"

"Follow me then"

We went outside and went north to the open plain lands until we found a very secluded and open spot for us to train in. I didn't know if Collin was a close fighter but either way i had to find out and i intend to help him the werewolf way. He faced me and i faced him looking on his structure and his jacket.

"We are going to spar to see what you are capable of now and see where you need improvement but in order to do so you will do it our way."

"And how do you do it your way?" Collin asked

"First werewolfs don't wear shirts or jackets so i must ask you to take them off."

Collin looked at me and started to glare a bit and took off his leather jacket that left only his black muscle shirt on but he got into a fighting stance and looed ready to fight

"Collin you have to take off that shirt off aswell in order to do this the tradtional werewolf way"

"Then i make a deal in this spar if you win i will take off this shirt throughout the rest of our training. But if i win i keep it on. Deal?" he said sounding dead serious

"Deal"

Collin charged at me and tried to punch me across the face but i grabbed his arm and put my knee into his gut causing him to yelp in pain and stop his charge then he tried to roundhouse kick me but using both hands i blocked it and did my own roundhouse kick on his face only this time it hit his face. He fell to ground and looked back up wiping a bit of blood that came from his nose and charged at me again. I used a judo body throw that basically used your enemys momentum against them and threw Collin to the ground again and i walked towards him putting my hand around his throat and knew he was defeated.

'We have alot to work on and next time that shirt will be off. We will train more tomorrow." i said trying not to sound menacing

Collin looked away humulatied by his loss and nodded his head and almost what seem to be tears in his eyes. I did feel guilty about hurting him but to perfectly honest he has the strength and the speed necessary for the training he just needed the techiques and balance on how to use them. We hardly said a word to each other the rest of the day and i went to bed and thought about my actions. I shouldn't have been to rough on him i thought he's just a kid 17 years old 2 years younger then me in fact. I didn't sleep well that night despite the comfort.

The next morning i was awoken by a strange scent coming from outside my room. I got up and opened the door cautiously and saw the scent was coming from the kitchen. I walked toward the kitchen and saw Collin by the stove filping these strange yellow things in the air and had a bunch of other cut up meats and vegetables around the stove.

Collin didn't notice my stareing and continued doing whatever he was doing. I coughed to get his attention which succeded and he turned around smiling happily.

"Oh! Good morning Talbain sorry if i woke you up."

"Its okay. What are you doing?"

"Making breakfest for us if you want it I hope you like omelets!" he said flipping the 'omelet' again

I never heard of an omelet before but still he was cooking for me?

"Its okay Collin you don't have to cook for me i can just make something myself" i said trying not to offend him in someway

"Strange usually people try my food before they turn it down!" Collin said laughing

Collin was indeed a strange hunter first he lets me live here a sworn enemy and everything hes against, then i hurt him in training and refuses to take off his shirt for some unknown reason to me then the next morning hes cooking for me and acting as if nothing happened? He is a true puzzle and a mystery to me.

We went into the dining room and began to eat the 'omelet' on my plate. I took a small hesitant bite from it and let the taste and texture of it fill my mouth then swallowed it. My eyes grew wide and a smile appeared on my face i abandoned the silverware i was using before and went in face first into the meal. I had never tried such a thing! It was so delicious! Much better then hunting for food! As i finsihed i heard chuckling across the table and looked up to see Collin holding his mouth with both hands trying not to laugh out loud but in the end failed.

He started to laugh as he saw my face covered in the egg bits and juices that covered the once intact omelet. I blushed embarrassed at how i just acted. I looked at the mess i made and i had to apologize for it.

"Collin im sorry! I'll clean it up i swear!"

"I've never.....I've never seen anyone eat the savagly.....and your face....the look on your face was priceless!" Collin said in between uncontrolable laughter.

After we cleaned up the table Collin said it was the weekend and had to partol the forests surrounding Glendale for the vampires and try to locate their base. I simply had to make up for all of my rude attitudes before so i decided to tag along and help him which he happily accepted and i admit i was happy to be around Collin.

(8 hours later in the fields around Glendale)

I think i understand now why Collin uses me for entertainment once on awhile. These partols are boring as all hell! Sure the scenery is great but i'm sure after a few weeks of this it must get exhausting for him. Even though he hasn't said it i can tell he enjoys my company.

Collin abandoned his back on a steep hill and we walking back towards it as the patrol turned out to be a complete bore and waste. Still after all this time alone i have the company of another that was a great comfort to me i said in my thoughts.

But as we got back up the hill and started walking towards Collin's motorcycle i heard a crack from a branch far away as i turned to look at it something hit my face and exploded leaving behind a great big cloud of green fog around me and Collin.

The blast knocked me to the ground and i heard Collin shouting"Ambush!" and started shooting in all directions with his UZI. I tried to get up but my arms felt numb and were tingling and useless as if they were asleep or something. I muttered "Shit" under my breath and knew what hit me. A sleeping gas bomb.

I could hardly move and my vision started to blurr. Collin looked at me and wne tby my side and literally started to drag me out of the gas bomb cloud which he was in too. Collin started to cough and i knew he had inhaled the sleeping gas too. Soon we would both be knock out.

Collin barely managed to get me out of the cloud but it cost him alot of what was left of his energy. I was nearly passed out. The last thing i saw was Collin pointing his UZI difficulty at the cloud and shoot a short burst into the cloud and the heard a muffled scream from within the cloud. Collin.....must of.......got one......or...my thoughts.......they were........I heard......Collin hit the ground.......and i went to sleep.

When i awoke i was still in a daze barely making out they things around the room we were in. Collin was next to me chained up each arm having a different chain hooked up to opposite ends of the room and so did i. Collin was still asleep but i had to wake him up.

"Collin.....wake up.....Collin!" i said trying to be quiet yet loud enough to wake him

Collin started to moan and move his head slightly and then finally open his eyes looking at our current situation.

"Shit" Collin said softly

"Were we captured?"

"I think so. I think the vampires got us."

"Fuck"

Then two people opened a door and approached us smiling like lunatics and laughing trying to scare us both were humans and males. They were vampires. I only notice now that we were in some sort of barn that had to be abandoned along time ago.

"Well its about time you two sleeping beauties woke up I want my prey to be awake when i drain them dry." One vampire said

"I know. But luckliy for these two our leader wants a chat with you human." he pointed towards Collin"After that i will make you beg for death you worthless whelp!

He punched Collin hard across the face and the both walked out of the room locking the door behind them. Collin spat out some blood and looked at me

"Looks like we're in deep shit here Talbain, you got any plans?"

"I doubt we have much time for it you got anything?"

"Yeah"

"What"

"Listen to their leader and what it wants to talk about"

"ARE YOU CRAZY?! THEY WANT TO KILL US WHY DO YOU WANT TO LISTEN TO THEM?!

"Because, something happened before i met you on that sidewalk. The vampire you killed said their leader was letting me live meaning it didn't want to kill me."

"What?! Do you know why?"

"Thats what i intend to find out"

After a few minutes of silence the door opened again and a single figure emerged from the darkness. Another vampire with blood red eyes walked slowly towards Collin. It was a woman vampire she was smiling seductivly at him and swaying her hips slightly. She was about Collins height but she looked into her mid 20's. She had long dark hair that wet past her shoulders and had a kinky outfit of tight leather on her. She was right in front of Collin and looking deeply into his eyes and chest.

"So your the hunter who's been killing my men huh?" she said almost not caring

"You are the leader of this group?" Collin asked

"Yep! You can call me Daisy sweetie. And if it wasn't for your sweet face i would kill you right here and right now for killing my men." she said running her hand through Collin's hair

"I killed 14 of them and i plan on killing the rest of you if you don't shut the hell up and tell me why you captured us."

"OH! I like the feisty ones! anyway you can't kill the rest of my men there are only 12 left do you know you cut my fun in half hunter?"

"I shed a tear for you bitch"

"Talk all you want but i plan on killing you slowly and horribly then turning you into my personal sex slave." she said chuckling evily

Collin was frightened...the dream......the one at the camp this was what i was talking about.

"Leave him alone you bitch or else i'll rip yur heart out with my bare hands!" I growled loudly

She looked at Talbain not even the least bit fazed about what he said and slowly appraoched him

"You know werewolf the only reason i plan to keep you alive is that your friend here can have his first meal right away." she smiled

Then she studied Talbain a bit more and she smiled even more and began to giggle

"No way! I can't believe its you! Talbain! Your still alive after you ran away from home?"

I started to glare and my anger was building up

"You joined a hunter? How pathetic! Your parents would be disgraced!"

I started to growl and my rage was becoming uncontainable

"What are you his lapdog? Everyone thought you were dead and forgot everything about you. You hear that Talbain? No.....body.....cares.......about......you."

I started to kick and thrashed my arms wildly hoping to break free of my chains and tear her apart.

Collin suddenly flipped himself up and kicked his boots together which released two 4 inch blades from each of them and slowly started to chipped away at the chains and eventually break free of them. Daisy noticed Collin escaped and charged right at him. Then like Talbain he put his knee into her gut then roundhouse kicked her across the face which sent her straight into the ground then Collin picked up an old rusty shovel and started to beat her face in until it was nothing but a scrambled mess and flesh, blood, and bone.

Then he went over to me and used to shovel break the chains and set me free. We nodded at each other then looked around for an escape route. We didn't find an exit but i found something just as good. Collins weapons covered in some nearby hay. i gave them to him and decided that the only way to escaped was to go through the barn door.

We busted it down and and looked at the vampires and they looked back at us amazed that we escaped. Collin started to unload his two 357 revolvers one the six to the right while i started to tear apart the other six to the left. The after the massacre. We found some old gas and propane tanks and spread the throughout the barn.

We left the barn and heard a signle dying shout from a vampire

"Your always a failure Talbain remember that!"

Those words struck me and when i turned around Collin fired a single shot into the barn causing it to explode and vaporize any bodys or survivors inside. We both watched the flames consume what little fragments of the house were left until the fire completly died out.

I was still furious at what those vampires told me and when i looked at Collin i could see the concern in his eyes. We went back to his is motorcycle and went home it was 1:00 A.M., Collin shut the door and said

"Talbain, if theres anything you want to talk about-"

"TALK?! YOU THINK TALKING WILL SOLVE ALL MY PROBLEMS?!" I yelled and growled viciously

"I'm......i'm just-"

"JUST FORGET ABOUT IT COLLIN! YOU HUMANS THINK EVERYTHING CAN BE SOLVED BY TALKING BUT GUESS WHAT? IT CAN'T! YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND COLLIN! NEVER!"

I ran upstairs to my room and shout the door loudly almost breaking it.

Collin looks down to the ground and shuts off the lights and goes into his own room without another word.

There's part 3 hoped you enjoyed it! I plan to have Talbain's past completly revealed in the next one and Collin's in the next after that. I really hoped you guys enjoyed this because it took me along time to write this and i got a feeling i made many mistakes in it.
