2014


	The clouds covered the sky as Layne stood on a roof looking down
for someone; she was on a hunt she had till midnight to get him. The
government wanted him dead and bad enough they contacted her boss, the head
of the New York Russian Mob, Niko. Niko was a hard sell, not usually liking
to cooperate with government officials. He had a thing for authority which
is what, he liked to say, made him such a good boss himself. But this
apparently had been an offer he couldn't refuse. Not only had he agreed to
the deal, he'd assigned his best hitter to take the shot, Layne. Niko and
Layne were close. More than just boss and employee, they were literally
family. Abandoned as an infant, Layne would have surely died of cold and
starvation if 6 year old Niko hadn't found her and begged his father to
take her in. Eventually she was adopted. There was no better brother than
Niko. He was an uncompromising boss but an understanding brother. She was
glad to do as he asked of her.

The wind blew over the city. Layne thickened her body hair and a little
more fat to keep warm. A useful trick compliments of her skin walker
abilities, her greatest asset as Niko's right hand. Even with the extra bio
layers, Layne couldn't help but think "Fuck, its cold! Stupid target needs
to get his dead man walking ass into my sights soon. Right fucking now
would be nice."

	The universe must have heard her because in the next second as she
leaned down, Layne saw the guy she'd been waiting for. "Finally," she
thought and jumped down, changing through the drop into a super model
recently seen on TV. She could have shot him from the roof. She was an
excellent sharp shooter. But after waiting for the last two hours on a cold
roof, bored out of her mind, she felt like playing a little. The dark sky
helped with changing forms so no one saw anything. No one ever did. Not
since she was little and still learning to shift, anyway. And Niko always
took care of those people.

Super model Layne followed her target into a bar and watched him order a
drink for him and a round of beer for some friends. Her phone vibrated in
her bra.  She ignored it at first. The only person to bother her on a job
was Niko when he thought she was taking too long to take care of
business. Since she just talked to him that morning, she knew it wasn't
him. Anyone else could wait.  She waited till he had a few drinks then
grabbed one herself and followed the group over to the pool tables. They
were all concentrating and having a good time. She bumped into him and
dropped her drink.

Mr. About to be Dead Midnight turned toward Layne, indignant, "Hey!
Watch?..oh sorry". His eyes widened as he got a good look at her.

Layne smiled apologetically and slurred slightly, "Sorry, slipped on my new
heels." She knew he thought she was on her way to drunk, easy to take
advantage of. He smiled and offered his hand, "No harm done, Bella. Name is
Kaden. Want to play a game?" Layne thought, I already am. She grasped his
hand lightly replying with her assumed name, "Andrea Moulin. Yes, I'd love
to play. On one condition." She tilted her head flirtatiously. His face
brightened as his eyes surveyed her with explicit intention. "And what
condition might that be?" She returned his hot look. "If I win, you have to
come home with me." Kaden licked his bottom lip unconsciously and
pronounced, "Deal!" as he handed her his pool stick.

	His buddies hooted and hollered as Layne made the break then hit
four balls in but missed the fifth one deliberately, though no one seemed
to notice the forced scratch. Kaden made three and I hit the rest of
mine. The battle came down to the eight ball. Layne flashed her cleavage at
him and bent over the table, took aim and? straight into the corner
pocket. She sauntered over to him and smirked. "Guess you're coming home
with me," "Guess so, but if you don't mind I'll take a consolation prize."
He pulled Layne into his body and kissed her open mouthed. Layne was not
impressed and it aggravated her to have someone take such liberties with
her body or personal space, but she forced herself to relax and respond
eagerly before pulling away. Her watched beeped the hour causing Layne to
check the time. It was getting late and she had plans tonight. Time to
bring the game to a close. So she leaned into him and whispered in his ear
that she was ready whenever he was. Immediately he turned and waved to his
friend's goodbye. They went to Layne's borrowed apartment, locked the door
and the next thing no one heard was the silenced POP and a body dropping to
the floor. Game over. Part of Layne sighed. She might have gotten a decent
fuck out of him first, and why not, it had been a while. Being an the most
trusted shot of a mob boss didn't inspire men to take her out in any way
that didn't end up with her near dead. But time was of the essence
tonight. It was the night before Samhain and this place and its people were
not how Layne wanted to spend the holiday. Now that the job was done, she
was on her own time. Niko would take care of everything else.

Speaking of Niko and free time, she had to call him. "Niko, I want to go
back to Russia for Samhain this year. Mind if I take a few weeks off?" He
considered both her and her request. She'd done well, as always. She
deserved a break and he didn't need her for anything right now. "Yeah, go
ahead but if I get to be knee deep in bodies and need you, you will come
home." She gave him a "duh" look then smiled playfully.  "No need to call
me home when I'll already be there."

Niko rolled his eyes. "Smart ass. Does Papa need to know you'll be in the
area?"

"Nah. He'll only think I'm coming because you sent me. Like I'm the
troublemaker who needs looking after."

"You are trouble and you do need looking after."

"You're keeper enough, big brother. Am I free to go now?"

"Class dismissed. Be safe, little sister. Blessed be."

 	Layne went to her own home, grateful to be free of obligations for
the next month. She already had the family plane on standby and a bag
packed. Not wasting any time, Layne grabbed her things and headed to the
airport. Once on board, she stripped out of her clothes and took a warm
shower. After the cold of that roof and playing pool in those damn
skyscraping heels, the water was exactly what she needed. Afterward she
pulled on a pair of shorts and a tank top, went straight to bed and
collapsed. Hours later, she woke feeling much more refreshed. It was nearly
daylight and she was almost home. She ate breakfast and read a novel until
the plane touched down. Niko must have called ahead because a car was ready
and waiting for her. A solid black Lamborghini. Layne drooled and thought
Gods, I love my brother! And what a sweet ride it was. It took the turns
and curves like a woman cradling a lover.  The trip to her estate took no
time at all. She parked the car in the large underground garage and carried
her things to her room on the second floor. As she unpacked, Layne heard a
noise from another room. She froze, listening for it again. There, down the
hall! No one was supposed to be here. She immediately went on alert and
shut off all the lights in her room. The hallway was dark as she crept
silently toward the room she'd heard the noise from. She waited a moment
and then?. CRASH!  Kicked in the door, weapon drawn. A lamp in the room was
on and a woman was tied up and wounded, bleeding from her temple. I walked
over and untied her mouth.

"Don't hurt me" she started sobbing.

"Who brought you here?"

"A man, I've only seen him at night, who are you, what do you want from me"

"What does he look like; don't worry about me, nothing right now till I
find out why you are here"

"My name is Aria Polzin"

Layne started to untie her but knew it would be better to leave her bound
while she did a sweep of the house and checked the security system. And she
needed to call her brother and Papa. Whoever would be so bold and so smart
to get into her house and leave her a possibly dangerous person to deal
with needed to be identified, found and dealt with him?  Layne looked at
the woman. "I'll be right back."

She walked through the entire house one room at a time locking every door
as she went along. She found nothing and no one. She set the alarm and
called her boss. He wanted to send someone over to check things out and
guard her, but Layne told him there was nothing and she was tired and
wanted to be left alone. She'd keep watch through the night and if she felt
there was need, she'd take him up on the offer in the morning. Niko was in
no way satisfied but there wasn't much he could do from his base in New
York. He grumbled and hung up. Layne went back to the woman, Aria.

"Listen to me very carefully. This is my house. This is my family's land. I
don't know you and I don't know why you're here and I don't care. You are a
stranger and a threat and you will be treated as such until I know more
about who you and what brought you here. There is only one way out of this
place and it is known only to me. If you try to run, I will take that as a
sign that you are indeed a danger to me and I will kill you faster than you
can blink, and no one will ever know. Is that understood?" She nodded but
didn't speak. Layne looked around the room but found nothing that might
belong to the strange woman. "Do you have anything with you? Clothes,
necessary items?" Aria shook her head then groaned from the motion. It was
still bleeding. Layne sighed. Great, now I have to play nursemaid to
someone who could have been sent her to kill me. Not that it would be a
first, but still. "Come with me," she told Aria and led her to the bathroom
to clean and dress the wounds. As she did so, she felt a curious tug from
inside her, the place where she always felt her power sleeping until it was
needed. Going with instinct, Layne opened herself and let just a think
ribbon of her power separate from her and encircle the stranger. By this,
she'd be able to catch a thought or two, or a person's general intent. She
sensed no wrong doing, no wish to harm. Layne trusted her magic, so she
would listen to it, but since there was no harm in being cautious, she
would keep what she learned to herself and keep the woman at a distance. In
the meantime, it looked like Layne had to take care of her.

"What size do you where and what do you want to eat?"

Aria was surprised into answering, "8 and you're going to let me eat?"

"Okay and yes. You might as well not be afraid. If and or when I want you
dead, dead you shall be before you know anything about it."

Layne led a silent and wary Aria to the kitchen downstairs. "The cabinets
and refrigerator are always kept stalked for me. Help yourself"

Aria swallowed nervously.  "Are you sure?"

"Yes. The security tapes show you were moved here a few days ago. You lost
blood. You must have food and water. Help yourself."

She got up and walked carefully, she looked so young but by her eyes you
could tell she was a little older then Layne by 3 years putting her at
21. She had beautiful legs, and her body was toned like a runner, short
hair, soft green eyes, and pale skin. She put food on her plate making sure
not to nock anything over. I flipped on the TV the news; it had been at
least three months since I last watched it. She was sitting at the table,
with a glass of water. I got up and made myself a plate, and poured some
wine. I put everything away and in the fridge with the date. I did the
dishes and switched the TV to something more exciting, Chucky. I closed up
the wall, then went to her room and checked everything making sure she
wouldn't be able to get out. I went back out to the living room and we
watched the movie.

Aria "you know I'm not bad, don't you"

"How can you tell?"

Aria "you're not like the others, they all are mean and abusive you calm
and collected, you the one they send out when they want it done fast and no
sign"

"How can you tell?"

Aria "mind reader"

"Ah, well I'm still going to treat you like an evil till I know"

Aria "fine"

	The movie ended we watched two more and talked, I was growing an
attraction to her. She kept moving closer to me. I turned off the TV, well
come on time for bed, I have work to do."

Arias "are you serious"

"If you can read minds let me know"

Aria "I can't read yours"

"Well then nighty nighty, I have work to do"

I locked her in and turned on the cameras to her room, I shut up the living
room by having the walls come out and make it just the hallway, and the
bathroom and rooms, I looked through the recently added and found him Dan
hired three days ago, Died today as a trader, so on his first day he got
her. Now he's dead and he was the only person to know about her, so it was
personal. I viewed more tapes she said other but he and I were the only
ones here in less she talking about the night they took her. Tomorrow is
Halloween and Samhain, looks to be a night in till I find more out, plus
some company would be nice I'm tired of always being alone or with Niko of
the mob. Did a little more work then took a shower the rooms shower, turned
on my mp3, and laid down. I fell asleep fast, when I woke up it was 5 AM,
Aria was fast asleep, and I undid the main part of the house lockdown but
kept the back. I closed the small hallway in. I went to the store for some
things I needed for Samhain. I got the things I needed from a Wiccan shop,
and then went back to the place made breakfast let her out after setting
the alarm.

"I know tonight is Halloween and if you have kids and family I'm sorry, but
if you pagan or Wiccan you can join me in a small circle."

Aria "I'd love that, and no family here, and no kids at all"

I cleaned up and she helped me set up we spent the day talking and I could
feel my heart beating fast in my chest. I had to excuse myself to the
bathroom while my body changed into a hundred different things. Once she
settled down she went back out and they watched horror movies, then Aria
started to read a book. Layne went to the back bedroom to do a little more
research she found nothing the girl was clean her records not a scratch
she's a med student that is traveling for vacation her family lives in
Australia. Layne breathed she turned off all the systems in the room and
went out to the living room. They were in the middle of watching Children
of the corn when Aria's belly growled they ate the left over from the
night. After we ate, we did the ritual during it I felt her, all of her
body her voice it was calling to me. After that we watched more movies and
ate junk food we talked and she told me everything I already knew. As the
night grew on she leaned on me, soon her lips where on my neck and I felt
the heat from her breath I turned my head and kissed her she climbed on top
of me and kissed me hard, I tore off her shirt, feeling her energy from the
circle she took my shirt off and we didn't miss a beat as we kissed I
picked her up and brought her into her room and laid her down I kissed
along her body and went to each breast nibbling it and sucking on them she
had large B's, a small belly and the most beautiful tattoos on her stomach
of twin dragons. Her belly had a ring in it. I sucked on it and made my way
to her hips when she pulled me up to her and we kissed out mouths were in
sink it was like she was melting into me I felt her arousal. Soon I got her
sweat pants off and underwear she was shaved with a little stubble, I
slowly moved my lips along her inner thighs and kissed her clit while I had
three fingers in her moving rapidly I started sucking on her clit as she
moaned and her nails found my flesh. I could tell I was bleeding but at
that point I didn't care. I started to get more into what I was doing, she
would close her legs over my head and moan deeply soon she grabbed my hair
and cut of my circulation and the most amazing wave of juices flowed from
her. I licked her up her legs twitched as I did. I moved up to her and she
kissed me worn out from it all. We lay in each other's arms softly kissing
through the night. The next morning I shut off everything and made it like
a normal house. She came out and noticed we ate breakfast and spent the
rest of her vacation together.
