The car came to stop in the middle of nowhere. The only things I saw were tall trees. Nick got out of the car without saying another word with his gun loaded in his hand. Scanning the area in confusion I had no choice but to follow suit holding the gun he gave to me during the car ride tightly in my hand.
" Where are we? " I asked looking around.
" Johnson's property. " he hissed as his eyes scanned the area with such rage.
" If he is coming after us, we will get to him and kill him first. " he muttered.
And, boy was he hot when he looked murderous.
" So, you're telling we're about to kill their entire gang using two guns. This is such a badass way to die. Damn it. I should have brought my black shades with me. " I pouted making him chuckled.
" You're something else, Ana. " he said putting my hair behind my ear. I looked at my feet in an attempt to escape from his intense gaze as I felt the blood rushing toward my hot cheeks.
" Stay close to me. We fight together. " he said pulling my chin up to meet his eyes before lacing his fingers with mine.
And with that we walked into the dark forest together hand in hand on our first official mission. One of the many things that the Salvatore's taught and showed me was that they fought together as a family, no one was ever alone because they always had each other's back no matter what. And, I respected that.
The fallen leafs crunched beneath our feet as we made our way into the unknown or at least it was unknown to me because Nick seemed to know where he was going. Both of us didn't utter another word to each other as we enjoyed the peaceful silence and the soothing atmosphere of the dark forest. It was getting darker and darker every passing minutes as the moon illuminated the whole forest.
" Are we there yet? These heels will kill me even before those bastards get to us. " I groaned.
Nick looked at me in amusement before shaking his head. " You see that ugly building? That's their base here in England and it will be their hell tonight. "
" I have no idea how the two of us going to kill one whole gang but I'm living for your confidence, dude. " I patted his back giving him a thumb up.
He rolled his eyes at me. " I might be cocky at times but I'm not stupid. My men are here and back ups are on their way. "
I underestimated the power of Salvatore's brain. But, it was good to know that he took a little after his father. Seth Salvatore was an icon and a genius, the wicked man knew what he was dealing with all the times. It was hard to find a handsome guy with brains these days.

" Ready to get bloody? " he asked smirking his fore finger pointed at the two security guards that were guarding the front entrance.
" I seduce. You kill. " I smirked handing him my gun.
" Never thought you and I would make the dream team. " he winked making me rolled my eyes at him playfully.
The guards eyes hooded with lust and desire as I unbuttoned my coat revealing my naked shoulders, I lowered the cloth enough just to give them a peak of my cleavage. A small hidden smile formed on my lips while I took a trip down memory to a month ago when I did the same to the guards that were guarding the Salvatore's estate.
If that me from last month knew I was seducing to kill my father's ally, she would have slapped me across the face.
" This is a private property, beautiful. " one of the tall men said rubbing his chin, his tongue licking his crusty lips.
I fought the urge to roll my eyes while trying to maintain a somewhat friendly face. I stood a few feet away from the twos gesturing them to come forward.
" I got lost while running away from my husband, he was trying to sell me to his mourning uncle after our little threesome back at his wife's funeral. Can you two gentlemen help me? Please. " I said acting lost.
" It's an honorable thing to save a helpless lady. Are you okay, beautiful? " the other one asked when they both approached where I was standing.
They held each of my arms trying to support me as if I was about to faint any moment now but eyes still focused on my cleavage. I gave them a thankful smile and then smirked as I watched their eyes rolled to the back of their heads before falling to the ground.
" A threesome with your husband and his uncle at a funeral. You sinful little vixen. " Nick smirked earning a wink from me.
" You should work out the entry's code while I kill these horny fuckers. " I demanded.
" Okay, boss. " he said raising his hands in surrender.
Turning back to my preys, I took out my already bloodied blade. My grin got wider as I watched the silver of my blade glistening against the moon.
" Hm. Which one of you should suffer? " I thought out loud staring at the two passed out men.
" You're lucky your face is handsome, so you get to die first. See you in hell, hotshot. " I said slitting his throat then proceeded to turn to my not so lucky victim.
I stabbed his left thigh in an effort to wake him up from his beauty slumber but the bastard didn't even budge. Nick couldn't have hit him that hard. I thought as I took the blade out of his thigh just to put it back into his body but this time on his stomach making his body jerked up. Finally.

" Oh. You're up. Hello, handsome. " I smiled at him sweetly as I took out my blade.
He looked at me like I was some sort of psychopath for a moment, his hand clutched his wound trying to stop the blood from oozing out. I was caught off my guard when the bloody bastard started screaming.
" Wrong move. " I muttered stabbing the side of his neck while my other hand covering his mouth.
I looked up when Nick approached us with an annoyed expression on his face. " The codes is impossible to break. "
I cursed under my breath before sharing a helpless looks with him.
" No one can break that code. So, you can't get in unless you scanned my eyes. " the dying bastard laughed like he hadn't just gave us the information we needed.
" For being useful, I will let you die now. " I said slitting his throat opened.
I put my blade on the ground next to us carefully before laying his lifeless head on my laps. I pulled the sleeve of my coat up to my elbow getting ready to gauge his eyes out of their sockets with my acrylic nails. Blood must have covered my entire face when I finally got both his eyes out, they were blue by the way. Such a loss.
" Here take these. " I said handing the eyes to Nick who seemed to be stuck in his trance.
" Do you want to get in or not? " I sighed standing up when he finally took the eyes from my hand.
" You know we can just cut his head off and bring it to the scanner, right? That was messy. You got blood all over you. " he said wiping my cheek with the back of his hand.
" Cutting his head would have taken forever. " I shrugged and we both walked to the door.
Nick held the eyes up to the scanner and the door flung opened. Finally. He threw the now useless eyes to the ground and then handed me back my gun. I nodded my head at him, telling him that I was ready. Taking my hand into to his we both walked inside and the fun began.
We fought our into the base together alongside some of our men, shooting every men that came our way. How our gun still hadn't run out of bullets was unknown but I thanked god for that because there were so many of them and the backups seemed to take their sweet time coming to help us.
" I'm starting to think that Joseph Johnson is a myth at this point. Because, seriously where the hell is that dude? " I shouted still shooting away.
" I think we should part. We might find him faster you know? " I suggested just to get shut down by a glare from him.
Groaning in disbelief I continued to shoot away my life with a pout on my lips. This was why I always worked alone because I got to do whatever the hell I wanted to.
The shooting only calmed down when the backups arrived just in time I ran out of bullets. We killed all of the men in the base and their leader was nowhere to be found which angered me to my core. I was pissed all right but Nick, god he was so furious that he started barking at his men liked some mad animal demanding all of them to get Joseph into the cell by the next hour.
Watching his men ran around the place getting rid of the bodies and staying out of his way was amusing. Before I even knew it everyone was out to find the pathetic leader leaving the two of us alone outside the building as we watched it burned in red fire.
" Well, that was fun. " I said trying to calm him down and lightened the mood.
" That was a waste of time. " he grunted glaring at the burning building.
" Hey. We didn't know that he was a scaredy-cat pussy who can't face his enemy, okay? " I said taking his cheeks into my palms.
" We will find him and kill him. " he said and I nodded my smiling.
" Let's get out of here. " he said pulling me to his side wrapping an arm around me.
I fought the smile that was threatening to come out with every atoms within my body. I had never been this effected by a touch ever in my life. The things that only Nicholas Salvatore could make me felt. Damn it. I was screwed.
" Not so fast. " a gunshot echoed through the forest snapping me out of my daze.
Nick let out a hiss his hand flew to his left shoulder and all I saw was blood coming out between his slender fingers. Like an instinct, I turned around pushing him behind my back before shooting back at whoever was attacking us with the new loaded gun, the backups gave us.
" Fuck. Can you run? " I asked between the flying bullets.
" Go. Leave me. Run. " he grunted in pain.
" You're hallucinating, Salvatore. We fight together, remember? " I shouted pulling his arm over my shoulder supporting his weight.
" Let's go. " I said. He nodded his head.
And then we started running to god knew where.

She's tried other VRMMORPGs, but they've all been fantasy-based, with a couple sci-fi games thrown in. But she wants something more, something Super. Superhero VRMMOs have had a... subpar reception in the past, in part due to the fact that the nature of most MMOs makes for fairly unheroic tales.
