Safeword: Storm Clouds(65)

Eric spoke up, "Kendra, please don't send me away for this."

Eric, I'm going to have to... this is going to be bad. Because Leon has challenged me twice before, I can legally hurt him really bad. Which means I kind of have to, in order to make it so that no one else fucks with me about this. I'm going to have to do things to him that you probably don't need to see or even want to see. Vampire society is, well, different than human society. You won't understand, and I don't want you to be afraid of me. I need to make an example of him to keep you safe, and to keep us from being bothered about this again.

Tell me what you are going to do, let me decide if I want to see it.

I'm going to tear him apart, literally. Arms and legs and head and torso all in pieces. It will take him centuries to put himself back together, and even then he will only put himself back together if he is strong enough, and he may not be. Please, go with Fawne, don't stay and watch. I need to be ruthless, and I may not be able to do that efficiently if I'm worried about what you are thinking while I'm doing it.

Eric spoke out loud, "Okay, I'll go."



Gavin had entered by then and he spoke up, "I'll send Matt with them as well, if that's okay Kendra."



"If you think it's necessary then I'll trust your judgment."



"He's important to both Abbot and you, and he's a bit of a target right now, I think it's necessary."



"Okay, I'd like for them to head to TBR and play pool, then."



"Yes, I think that's a good place for them to wait while we do this."



Abbot and Josef walked through the door about that time and Abbot said, "Leon, are you sure about this? On the third challenge when you've lost the first two she can rend you into pieces, the only thing she has to leave intact is your brain, brainstem, and heart, but she can tear the rest of you into pieces as small or large as she wishes."

Leon snarled at him. "She can not touch me. Anyone who would submit to a human cannot cause such harm to me. I have challenged her, now stop trying to put off the defeat of your third."

"Very well, Fawne and Matte, take Eric away. Everyone else, to the basement."

Abbot spoke to Eric with the mind link, Eric do not try to contact Kendra. I will keep you up to date on what is happening. If you need to contact someone to ask how things are going, contact me. Do not distract her.

Is she going to be okay? He won't hurt her, will he?

She'll have a few battle scars, but I doubt any will be around for longer than a week. She’s already kicked his ass twice, he’s an idiot to challenge her again.

Once Abbot had everyone assembled in the large concrete shelter room that was actually out under the yard and not under the house, but that was accessible through the basement, he went over the rules. "All witnesses are to remain with their back against the wall and are not to interfere in any way. Leon will have won if he incapacitates Kendra to the extent that she can no longer get up and fight him. He is not to deliver a blow that will involve more than a month of repair before Kendra is back to normal. Doing so can result in his own death, by my hands. The rules are different for Kendra since a third challenge when the first two were lost is seen as harassment. She is not to tear what is inside his skull to pieces, or his heart to pieces, but she is free to rip the rest of him into whatever size pieces she wishes. Again, no one may interfere. Are the participants ready?"

Kendra and Leon had undressed and were facing each other naked. Vampires fight without clothes on, partly to make sure there are no hidden weapons, and partly to level the field so that no one wears armor that vampire claws might have trouble going through. Also, some vampires can shift into animal form and the lack of clothes makes it easier to do that.

Abbot walked a circle and made it solid so that Kendra and Leon were confined within it, and then looked at both of them and said "Incipio".

While Abbot had been creating the circle Kendra allowed that part of her to the surface that she rarely allowed to surface. Some called it blood lust, some called it berserker, Kendra just called it her inner nature. Vampires had to choose whether to be beast or whether to be civilized, those who chose beast, who could not control the beast, were killed by vampire society so they would not endanger the civilized vampires. But when Kendra was in a circle like this, she could bring that part of her to the surface and allow it to play. It was her secret, in a way. Most vampires lost touch with their beast during the process of gaining control over it. She’d never lost touch with it. So within a millisecond of Abbot giving the word, Kendra flew into Leon and before he realized things had started she’d already ripped one of his arms off and then backed away. When he came towards her she dove for his stomach and pulled organs out, spilling them out in front of him. In desperation, Leon bit her on the breast, but that left him open for her to grab his dick and rip it from his body. He didn't let go of the grip he had with his teeth on her breast, but she could power through even debilitating pain when the beast was in control like this. She knew she would have to rip her breast off to push him off of her, so she did it before she had a chance to think about how much it was going to hurt, twisting him around so that she broke his spine as she tore him off of her. Blood gushed out of both of them as she reached up into Leon’s chest cavity and pulled his rib cage apart. She pretty much blanked out on what happened after that. The Beast was in control, and she quietly went to the background and let the Beast have it’s bloodbath. When it was over Leon was in tiny pieces all over the place and her left breast was just a huge gaping hole. She noted that the brain and part of the spine were in one piece with the skull around it, but she’d taken most of the skin off of the outside of the skull, and she wasn’t sure where his eyes or tongue or teeth were, probably in the mess she was standing in somewhere. She’d turned him into mush, she hadn’t just ripped him into pieces. She panicked for a moment, looking for his heart, but then saw it, still in one piece. If she’d torn it up in her frenzy that would be a problem, but she’d held the reins enough, somehow, to keep the pieces intact that she was required to keep intact. She took a few more breaths, making sure the Beast went back inside, making sure she was fully back in control again, and then stood up straight. She wanted to feel of her breast, but not in front of the other vampires. She couldn’t show weakness. She’d just reminded everyone what she was capable of, this was no time to show anything except strength. She was a little weak from blood loss though, so she needed to finish this. She looked at Abbot and said, "Consumo".
