Chapter 43:

Heart of Ice ~Demon Hunters~

Assassins Who Cleanse Sins Away


Narrator: "This world is surrounded by crime, greed, and many other sins. When people gave up hope for peace there are a group of assassins that would cleanse the world. If you're truly tormented by anyone and want vengeance, then you must call upon The Sweepers and they will take vengeance for you."

It's bright early morning Violet tries to sneak back to the mansion without the others knowing. Unfortunately, Zachary and Tom are already up and are in the kitchen drinking coffee. Zachary counts to three with his fingers.

Both: "Walk of shame!"

Her face almost turns red, and she uses her middle finger on both of them.

Violet: "Oh f**k you both!"

Zachary: "Who knew the tomboy actually wore a dress?"

She blushes out of embarrassment.

Violet: "Oh shut up!"

Tom: "You were right before Zachary she can actually blush."

Violet: "You two shouldn't make a woman who can start a fire by snapping her fingers angry."

She snaps her fingers, and a little flame of fire appears. The two got scared and stopped making fun of her.

Tom: "Okay!"

Zachary: "Never again!"

She blows the fire out of her finger.

Violet: "Thank you."

Christiana comes downstairs and she isn't walking right.

Zachary: "Hold on who is that woman?"

Tom: "She does look familiar what was her name again?"

Violet: "Bose I think…wait… Is it Boss?"

Christiana uses her middle finger at them. She tried to walk to where the coffee was but couldn't because she kept wobbling and could barely stand straight. She sits down on the chair at the table.

Tom: "She can barely walk."

Violet: "You don't think."

Zachary: "Oh my God he actually did it! Meadow actually attacked her! No wonder she can barely walk and stand!"

Tom: "We all knew this day would come."

Violet: "Honestly we thought that's how Abby would've been conceived."

Christiana: "Very funny..."

Tom: "You could have yelled Boss we could have gotten Meadow off of you."

She drank her coffee and tried to get up but couldn't. Violet gets up and helps her get up.

Christiana: "Damn I can barely walk."

Tom: "Well makes sense since your husband had you upstairs for weeks."

Violet: "I hope you're not pregnant again. Abby's just now three months old she still needs attention."

Christiana: "Very funny."

Henry walks in and notices that she is unable to walk right as Violet helps her walk upstairs.

Henry: "I'm not surprised he attacked her though honestly, I thought would have happened when we were in high school."

Tom: "What do you mean?"

Henry: "She was wearing a skirt at the time."

Zachary and Tom: "That makes sense."

Henry: "God he's like a horny animal when it comes to her."

Zachary: "That's just how one is when that person is with one, they truly love."

Henry: "I don't understand that."

Zachary: "Make sense you've never been interested in women. By any chance are you into men?"

Henry: "No."

Tom: "He's not if he was, I would've been flirting with him by now."

Henry: "Why do you care so much about my personal life?"

Tom: "It's not exactly a personal life if you don't have a life."

Zachary: "He has a point you don't even go with us to stalk our clients. You only went once and that's because it involved your sister."

Tom: "You should socialize more."

Henry gets annoyed.

Zachary: "Have you ever had sex with a woman?"

Henry: "Of course not."

Zachary: "Really?"

Henry: "It's a choice to be a virgin."

Tom: "Henry having sex with a woman isn't that bad."

Zachary: "How would you know?"

Tom: "Let's just say I had a heterosexual experience before I came out as gay."

Zachary: "Oh yeah you did mention before you came out when you were sixteen right?"

Tom: "That's right."

Henry: (Thinking) "God kill me..."

Tom: "Isn't Violet and Macy going out to the club tonight?"

Zachary: "They are, and you should go with them, Henry."

Henry: "Why?"

Tom: "You got to have fun every once in a while."

Zachary: "Here's a piece of advice you're still young you gotta go out and have fun while you still can. Otherwise, if you don't, you'll regret it when you're older."

Later on, that night Meadow is getting Abigail to sleep as Christiana walks in.

Christiana: "How cute. I told you before that you'll make a great daddy."

Meadow blushes.

Meadow: "Could you call me daddy again?"

Christiana: "Forget it."

He looks up and notices her in a short dress and has a nosebleed.

Meadow: "Shit... Any reason why you would wear that dress?"

He tries to lift up her dress to look under it, but she slaps his hand off.

Christiana: "Nice try but I hate to break this to you my period is on."

Meadow: "Damn..."

Christiana: "How about after you put Abby in her crib we can go out on a date? Don't worry, Zach said that he'll watch her tonight. After all, it's been a while since we have been on a date."

Meadow: "You're wearing that dress to tease me, aren't you?"

Christiana: "Mhm besides there's something I got to see you wouldn't believe it."

He lays Abigail in her crib.

Meadow: "Alright let me get dressed then we'll get going."

Elsewhere Violet, Macy, and Henry are at the club. Henry is annoyed about being dragged into the club.

Violet: "Go on have some fun for once."

Macy: "Sometimes you have to get loose every once in a while."

The two of them leave to mingle while Henry stays near the bar as a woman walks up to him.

Woman: "Hi want to dance?"

Henry: "No."

Woman: "Want to at least buy me a drink?"

Henry: "No."

Woman: "Are you into men?"

Henry: "No I'm not. I'm not interested in a slut."

The woman slapped him in the face and stormed off.

Violet: "Ouch how many more times do you think he'll get slapped?"

Macy: "About nine maybe twelve."

Henry walks up to them.

Henry: "I don't understand why I got slapped?"

Macy: "Well you pretty much insulted her."

Violet: "You shouldn't assume all women are sluts."

Macy: "You have to get to know one."

Henry: "This isn't for me I'm out of here."

He leaves the club and goes to a local bar where he orders a drink. Then he overhears a woman with an Australian accent and orders the same drink he has.

Miley: "One spring whiskey."

Henry: "You like spring whiskey?"

Miley: "Yeah, I like my drinks strong."

Henry: "You're not from here, aren't you?"

Miley: "How can you tell?"

Henry: "You're accent you're Australian right?"

Miley: "Yep I was born and raised in an Australian country but as I got older, I started traveling with my parents."

He smiles.

Henry: "I see."

Miley: "You have such a handsome smile you must not smile that much, do you?"

Henry: "How do you know that?"

Miley: "I can just tell."

Henry: "I should get going before this place gets too crowded."

Miley: "Wait before you go." She writes her name and mobile number on his hand. "Give me a call sometime and we can hang out again."

He blushed for the first time and got embarrassed as he left the bar.

Henry: "Oh God... What's wrong with me? My face feels warm; it must've been the whiskey."

Nearby Christiana and Meadow noticed what happened.

Meadow: "Oh my God he actually talked to a woman."

Christiana: "Somethings off about that woman."

Meadow: "What made you say that?"

Christiana: "Woman's intuition."

Meadow: "Your intuition is never wrong."

Elsewhere Miley is seemingly walking home when two men are targeting her.

Man 1: "Hey give us your money and won't that pretty little head of yours!"

Miley: "You picked the wrong woman to mess with."

Man 2: "We tried being nice but now we have to do this the hard way."

As the men pull out their guns she sees that the moon is full and she can transform into her true form.

Man 1: "What the hell is that?!"

Man 2: "AHHH!!!!"

She slashes the two men and kills them in an instant afterward she transforms back to her human disguise.

Miley: "Those two hearts aren't even worth eating. I prefer men who are in love with me so much that they worship the ground I walk on. Their hearts are just more tasty that way now I have a new target. He's pure I can't wait to take his innocence and then eat his heart."

She chuckles and leaves the scene knowing no one will know who she really is. Almost a month has passed since the encounter Henry is waiting on Miley so she can meet Christiana.

Henry: "I hope you'll like her."

Christiana: "Shouldn't she meet your sisters before meeting me?"

Henry: "My sisters would embarrass me I know you wouldn't do that."

Christiana: "Whatever."

Henry: "Here she comes."

Miley: "There's my Henry!"

Henry: "Hey there oh this is Christiana she's like a sister to me."

Miley: "Nice to meet you."

She takes her hand out to shake hands with Christiana.

Christiana: "Sorry I don't shake hands."

Miley: "Oh that's fine."

Christiana: "I hope you don't mind if I lit this candle."

She takes out a lighter and Miley is startled and almost screams but doesn't scream at the flame as Christiana is lighting the candle.

Miley: "I-I-I-I don't mind at all."

Christiana: (Thinking: "That confirms my suspicions.") "I should get going now."

She gets up and leaves.

Henry: "Wait right here okay." He goes after her and tries to stop her from leaving. "What was all of that for?!"

Christiana: "Just need to confirm something that's all."

Henry: "Confirm what?"

Christiana: "Just have this feeling that's all."

She walked away and he didn't understand what she meant.

Miley: "You have quite an interesting and mysterious friend."

Henry: "Yeah... I could never understand her."

Miley: "Some people are just hard to read."

Christiana went to meet up with Meadow, they discussed the situation.

Meadow: "So is she?"

Christiana: "My suspicions are correct she isn't human."

Meadow: "I see."

Christiana: "When's the next full moon?"

Meadow: "Tomorrow."

Christiana: "So we strike tomorrow night."

Meadow: "Why not now?"

Christiana: "Henry should see for himself if I kill her now then it would seem like plain murder."

They went back home to prepare for the attack for tomorrow night.

Violet: "You guys want me to go with you to hunt tomorrow night?"

Christiana: "I just need your power for this hunt. It's just for a one-time thing anyways if you don't want to come with us on other hunts then that's fine."

Violet: "Oh it's cool it kinda gets boring just turning people into ashes all the time."

Christiana is feeding Abigail her bottle of formula.

Christiana: "You know sweetie it's been a while since I've been on a hunt. I wonder if I will be off my game, it's been almost months since I've last hunted."

Meadow: "You'll do fine you're still the kickass huntress I know and love."

She finishes feeding their baby and chuckles a bit.

Christiana: "Am I?"

Meadow: "Yeah and a sexy one at that too."

He tries to grope her, but she stops him.

Christiana: "Not in front of our baby."

Meadow: "Damn...."

The next day Christiana and Meadow are about to prepare to hunt.

Christiana: "When was the last time we hunted?"

Meadow: "About three months before Abigail was born."

Christiana: "That didn't count because that was your solo hunt."

Meadow: "Well then it might have been before I um got you pregnant."

Christiana: "Feels like old times, doesn't it? The two of us hunt supernatural beings and sometimes the hunt comes to us."

He wrapped his arms around her waist.

Meadow: "Yeah and that was even before we became lovers."

Christiana: "I know. To think time flew by like that, honestly, I wasn't sure about having a family of my own."

Meadow: "Why is that?"

Christiana: "I was afraid that I would leave my child alone in this world.... Hell, I'm still afraid that I'll leave Abby in this world alone... My mother left me alone and her parents did the same thing to her.... What if I do the same thing?"

Meadow: "You know I could change that."

Christiana: "I told you before I prefer to stay human after all I was born a human, I might as well die as a human."

Meadow: "At least you got an opinion I wasn't so lucky."

Christiana: "If you didn't turn then we wouldn't have met, and Abby wouldn't have been born."

Meadow: "Only two good things happened to me as a vampire. My beautiful wife and my beautiful daughter."

Christiana: "Oh Meadow."

The two share a gentle passionate kiss and then grab their weapons to start preparing for the hunt. Meanwhile, a reaper is checking his book to see if anyone is going to die and sees that someone might die today.

Reaper: "Henry Mayflower? It says here that there is a possibility that this man will die tonight. This might be a dud job, but I might as well check it out."

Later, that night Henry and Miley were at the park in the Onyx area.

Miley: "This is nice, isn't it?"

Henry: "Yeah it is."

Miley: "I hope that our relationship will last a long time."

Henry: "Me too."

Just as the two were about to kiss they were stopped by a voice.

Christiana: "Hold it! If I were you, I would step away from her."

Henry: "What are you doing here?"

Meadow: "That woman isn't what she seems."

Henry: "What are you talking about?

Christiana: "She is a wendigo she's like a werewolf, but the difference is that wendigos were once human until an act of betrayal happened to them."

Meadow: "They eat the heart of the lover who betrays them, and their heart is turned into ice."

Christiana: "They can mask themselves as humans but it's just so they can get their next feeding."

Meadow: "You weren't the first one either she's been killing innocent men all over. She seduces men and makes them fall in love with her just to make their hearts tastier."

Christiana: "Luckily we got here otherwise you would have been her next victim."

Miley: "T-T-T-Their lying I'm not this wendo whatchacallit! They're crazy! They're only saying this crazy nonsense because they don't want you to be happy!"

Henry pulls out his hunting gun and points right under her chin.

Henry: "How dare toy with me like some kind of f**k boy?! My friends would never lie to me!"

Miley: "Henry?! Why?!"

Henry: "How do you kill a wendigo?"

Christiana: "Easy by melting her heart of ice. Violet, could you do the honors?"

Violet: "Sure thing boss."

She snaps her fingers and uses her flame to make Christiana's sword a flame silver sword. Miley starts to change into her true form as she is about to attack.

Christiana: "Now be gone wendigo!"

She slashes Miley before she can attack and stabs her heart.

Miley: "AAAHHHH!!!!!!!"

She screams as she is turned to ashes nearby the reaper checks his book again and sees that Henry's name has vanished.

Reaper: "Welp... I knew this was a dud he wasn't going to die after all."

The reaper vanished and Henry couldn't believe that he fell for a wendigo.

Christiana: "At least you got a taste of a woman before she turned. What? You thought I didn't notice you slipping in that morning."

Henry is shocked and embarrassed by what she means as his face turns red.

Violet: "You sly fox didn't know you had it in you."

Meadow: "Now I don't have to smell pure blood on you anymore."

Henry looks down embarrassed and still red in the face.

Henry: "I hate all of you..."

Christiana: "Let's get going Meadow and I have plans tonight."

Violet: "You two better not have too much fun mainly you Meadow you two had Abby. I'm sure she's not ready for a sibling."

Meadow grunts a bit as he blushes.

Henry: "How did you two know about that wendigo?"

Meadow: "The usual research."

A flashback to a few days ago Meadow receives a call from Seven.

Seven: "Hello? Meadow?"

Meadow: "What is it, kid?"

Seven: "I got some information about the wendigo I did some research about it before I looked through old articles."

Meadow: "And?"

Seven: "I found out about six university men killed a few months back. They were killed the same way their hearts ripped from their chest."

Meadow: "I see Christiana's intuition was to look into this woman and as usual, she's right."

Seven: "Make sense her intuition is never wrong."

Meadow: "Thanks now we got all the information we needed."

It's back to the present.

Henry: "I see."

Meadow: "You were going to be her next victim just be glad we were able to stop her before she killed you."

Henry: "I can't believe I fell for a wendigo."

Meadow: "But it proves that you are interested in women."

Henry: "More like manipulating..."

Christiana and Violet leave to go back home.

Violet: "So that's your hunting attire?"

Christiana: "Well I couldn't wear my job clothes they would just get bloodier from slashing demons and other supernatural beings."

As they were leaving Henry was checking them out.

Henry: (Thinking) "Wait... When did they get attractive? I didn't even notice that they have figures."

Meadow: "Oh my God you really are into women. You thought I didn't notice you checking them out."

Henry's face turns red.

Henry: "What are you talking about?! I wasn't checking them out! You must've been seeing things!"

Meadow: "Yeah right."

It is the next day Christiana is about to head downstairs until she has to see how Henry is doing.

Henry: "Oh hey."

Christiana: "When you told me before that you were going to let your hair grow out, I thought you were kidding. I see that you are serious about it."

Henry: "S-S-Shut up!"

Christiana: "Meadow told me that you are interested in women, but I have to see it to believe."

He looked down and noticed her breasts and blushed out of embarrassment.

Henry: "Quit standing like that!"

Christiana: "Oh my God you really are into women wait until I tell your sisters about this."

Henry: "You better not or I'll end you!"

Christiana: "Oh I'm so scared of the big bad Henry."

She leaves as Meadow comes out of the room with Abigail.

Henry: "Get your wife!"

Meadow: "Sorry but I have no control of my wife's actions besides I'm busy with my daughter."

Violet walked by.

Violet: "Did I just hear that Henry is into women?"

Henry: "No!"

Meadow: "He is."

Violet: "Oh my God this is rich I can't wait to tell the others!"

Henry: "You better not! Oh God... I better stop Christiana... Get back here, Christiana! You better not tell my sisters anything!"

He runs after Christiana to stop her from going to his sister's house.
