Spurs rang out inside the quiet bar, the looming calm drawing out their sound with nearly thunderous symphony. He was careful not to step on any of the bodies, cognizant not to bother the dead, as their internal rest was important to him. If they were going to get where they needed to go, they?d need to do it without interruption.

God?s Pisser. The heavy barreled handgun was firmly held in his large right hand, a small wisp of smoke still trailing off its mouth. It had done good work, dropping most of the twenty-two passengers to the underworld with only one bark. Some were stubborn and required two, though the pistol was happy to oblige.

He followed the groan that floated across the room to the one that was still alive, his lethal thoroughness in regards to the others relaying that this one?s survival was far from accidental. Boreas moved to the crumpled man and with his left hand picked him up by the scruff of his neck, tossing him onto the bar.

The man cried out in agony as he cradled the hole in his stomach, just off center. It had to hurt, but it wasn?t fatal.

Well, it wasn?t quickly fatal.

?Who?who are you?? The man weakly asked.

?Death.? Boreas said with a nod. ?Howdy. Now, what you?re goin? through, that ain?t death. That?s pain. I can make all that end but you?re gonna have to do your part, compendia??

"I...I can pay you." The man said with a quivering voice, gasping as blood poured down his side and dripped off the bar.

Borease growled out a small laugh as he shook his head. "You ain't got the type of payment that I'm looking for."

"Sure I do." The man pleaded..."I've got tons of money, come on! You're a smart man."


~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~


"You're a smart man."Tasha said, cradled between his masculine thighs. Her cheek was soft against his naked flesh, and her lips moist and hungry in regards to other aspects of his anatomy. "What do you think I'm doing?"

Boreas couldn't help the debased smirk that bent his mouth as he looked down, one hand curled behind his head, the other lacing fingers in her beautiful black hair. "Aren't you worn out yet/"

Her laugh rumbled against his thigh as she dipped her head and devoured him, a response that easily protested any question of weariness.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"....so if you do, I can."

Boreas blinked hard and narrowed his eyes, a quick look around revealing that he was still inside the bar full of bodies, talking to the man on the counter. He wasn't sure where the memory popped up from but it had come out of nowhere. It wasn't like him to get that sort of distracted.

"What's...what's wrong?" The man asked.

Boreas glanced to the man's fingers and took note of the claret ichors spewing through. He was bleeding out and would do so quickly. How much time had passed? He needed answers.

"You know the cleaning crew for the Plaza de Troyes, right?" He asked as he placed the barrel of the gun against the hand covering the bullet hole, pushing inward. "I'm gonna need a name."

The man roared with pain and tried to turn away, but the weight of Boreas' arm kept him pinned between the handgun and the counter. "I...I don't know..."

"Sure you do." The North Wind assured him. "Give me a name."

"Please!" He cried out. "Make it stop!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Make it stop!" She moaned as her body jerked back and forth, recoiling between the thrust of his hips and the sturdiness of the table. "Give me what I need and make the craving stop!"

Late night and the Inn was empty. After conquering inhibition armed with only a bottle of topshelf whiskey the North Wind gave chase to the Star Gazer down the stairs and into the main room. She teased and tormented his senses before he caught her, kissed her, and made her his. Bending her over the table and unveiling the world locked beneath her pencil skirt, he became the master of her body.

"I'm begging you." She cried into the table, her cheek flush against it. With one hand on the edge of the tabletop and the other reaching back to blanket the massive mitt that guided her hips, she undulated against his brutal insurgence, loving every violent moment of it. "Make it stop!"

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He bit his lip, the trickle of blood tearing him from the vision. A bit dazed, the details of the massacre-ridden bar came back into view, as did the man laying on the counter.

Dead.

"F***."

Spurs sounded as he turned and headed for the door, cursing his luck. When his phone rang he plunged his hand into his pocket and pulled it out, flipping it open.

"Yea? What? ...No, I didn't....Don't worry, I'll get it. No...I said I'll get it." He snapped the phone shut.

He'd get the name...

...after.

?So we gonna do this or not??

Dark eyes watched as the smoke slithered out, undulating into nothingness, much like his interest in the hooker. He dropped the cigarette to the marred floor and slowly brought his foot above it, listening to the hiss and crinkled as he smothered and crushed it.

?Hey, you hear me? We gonna do this or not??

He chuckled, a guttural snarl, as he glanced up to give a threatening look. She had big hair and big boobs, with a tight mini-skirt, fishnets, and blah, blah, blah.

She must have seen that look and noted his disinterest, because when he gave it to her she gasped with the initial line of fear shooting through her, but was able to corral that edge that let her lead a life of street corners and in back rooms. Her wide, scared eyes narrowed into something that echoed the danger his gaze promised. ?Look, dick, this ain?t too hard to figure out. You hire me. I come up here. You take your clothes off. You have your fun. You pay me. And then you never see me again. Which part ain?t you getting??

He looked away, turning to the window across from the corner of the bed where he sat. She was out there, even with the wind and the snow and the storm, she was out there.

He?d seen her that morning, been with her that morning. After an endless night of entwined debauchery he woke her up the same way, and made her blush with his aggression. She loved it and he knew she did, able to feel it when she touched his back, clenched her thighs, and came.

She was out there and he wasn?t. He was in that room with that girl that wasn?t Tasha.

No, she was Natasha, or was at least that?s who she was pretending to be. That was the name she gave him when she hollered for his attention. He would have ignored her if he hadn?t heard her tell her name to another guy walking by. He heard it and he wanted her. He wanted her to be Tasha.

It seemed logical. His Tasha was going to a date auction, to let some other asshole put his paws all over her. In fact, that was the image he couldn?t get out of his head. His beautiful dame manhandled by some high-dollar jackass. She?d hate it, he knew she would, but he wouldn?t be there to break the chump?s neck.

?Hey!? She snapped her fingers, suddenly in front of him. ?You ain?t wasting anymore of my time. You owe me for an hour. Pay up so I can get out!?

Some guy was grabbing her hips.

?Hey!? She hissed.

Some guy was grinding against her, telling her what he had planned for that gorgeous body of hers.

?I said he-ACK!?

Like a demon he was up and off the bed, his massive hand around her tiny throat. She was lifted from the ground, slammed against the wall where the window was, her hip cracking the pane. He snarled, eyes narrowed, and in them he showed her death. ?I?m done with you.? He said low in his throat.

Her small, thin, fingers desperately raked across his hand, unable to pry his strangling grip from her neck. She wheezed and gasped for air. ?Do...Domael knows I?m here...he?ll send a messenger....for your....ass!?

?I know of your master?s little messenger assassins, bitch.? The punch dagger seemed to just appear in his hand. ?I have my own message.?

He curled his arm and drove the blade into her young, taut belly. He punched it in three times, though the final withdraw was with a twist and yanked to the side, opening up her stomach. He held her against the wall, thick red ichors pouring down the gap he opened up to stain her writhing, stocking-clad legs.

Tasha wore stockings, but they weren?t like this girl?s. Tasha?s were elegant and accentuated the class and allure of her already beautiful stems. This broad was just trying to look cheap and easy, and succeeding.

But Tasha wasn?t there. She was at that Gala thing, helping out, being a part of something. Unlike him, who was holdup in a room with a hooker.

A dead hooker.

He watched as the light dwindled from her eyes, her fight fading with her life, until finally she just hung there, aloof only by his strength. He couldn?t even enjoy the kill as it was worthless, holding no weight, holding no meaning ? well, besides getting her to shut up.

He took a shower, a quick one, trying to wash away the lingering dread at the thought of Tasha being there with someone else, all the while trying to figure out when he became so damn obsessed. He got dressed again, wrapped Natasha in the shower curtain and dumped her in the bathtub. They?d find her in the morning; her; they?d find her, but not him.

He made his way down the stairs with the sharp sound of spurs singing with his step, the room completely empty. It was only him and he was suddenly thankful for the snow storm. He grabbed a bottle and a glass and rounded the bar to find a stool, though halfway there smashed the glass on the floor, shattering it ? like he wanted to do to the guy?s face. What guy? The guy who was gonna win Tasha, whoever the hell he was.

He sat, arms curled around the bottle, looming above it as though eager to destroy it. Covetous, almost. He tipped it back and took a long, hard swig, sending his throat jolting up and down a dozen times as nearly a fourth of the entire bottle was consumed in that one drink. He slammed the bottle on the bar, surprised that he didn?t crack it, and wiped his mouth with the back of his hand.

The door opened and it was thrown wide, the howl of the wind roaring in along the touch of cold.

Good, he thought, he needed to kill someone. Needed it to mean more than the last one. He turned those threatening eyes over the broad swell of his shoulder, eager to find out who the victim was.

She was a vision, wind-burnt and gasping, standing in the doorway with her dark hair swirling, her starlit gaze hungry to find his.

Startled, he turned a little more on the stool to get a better look. He needed to make sure he wasn?t hallucinating, but when she said his name he knew it was her.

?Boreas...?

Tasha...His Tasha.

?Com?er.? It just sort of came out.
