    This is purely for fun and not meant as brain surgey or to offend I'm not a professional nor pretend to be so I sincerely hope this is taken in the spirit its presented..

The man and woman on the bed had been at it for hours,she was insatiable for his body and the feeling appeared to be mutual.They moved from position to position,their bodies already slippery with sweat,she raised up,temporarily sated to lick a drop of sweat rolling down his chest,across his tatoo stopping at his nipple when the phone rang.

The licking the nipple brief as it was seemed to set him off again ignoring the phone he grabbed her wrists flipping her underneath him,slowly bending to take her nipples in his mouth he froze as he heard the voice on the answering machine.

"Hey man,if you there pick up."

The woman gently reached up,placing her hands on either side of his head and turned his face toward hers sweetly coaxing him in a whisper of Spanish,again he bent taking her nipple in his mouth,his tongue gently lapped around the edges teasing her before finally taking her rosy nub in his mouth.

"Michael I mean it pick up I know your there.

"Michael damn it Sacha is dead,Raine has gone missing where the hell are you?"

Rolling off her he grabbed the phone.

"I'm here this had better not be a joke I'm not amused."

"Yeah well I'm not exactly having a stellar day myself.Some cops showed up here asking questions about you and that friend of Raine's." How the hell did they even find you in the first place?"

A cold smile flickered across his face,"I can guess what did they want to know about Karen?"

"Well it seems she's bought the farm."

Grimly running his hand thru his hair,he turned looking at the woman on the bed with regret.He reached across picking up her clothes,he gestured tersely toward the restroom and tossed her clothes on the bed within reach.Grabbing the clothes she let loose a torrent of Spanish detailing his ancestry and pigs then stormed into the bathroom slamming the door.

"Shit Michael you've got a woman there with all this going on?"

"When did this happen?

"Your unfucking believable,how long have you been screwing her anyway to not know Sacha's dead.

"Shut up Cy..and just tell me."

"The girl??Tuesday nite.Its hush hush still but I know someone who slips me info,they watch the soap regularly thats how he knows its her.He about pissed all over himself when he was in here earlier."

He jaw clenched reaching for his pants,he pulled them on and then his shirt.

"Sacha?"

His sigh came thru the receiver,"late Tuesday nite,technically Wednesday morning,this isn't secret its all over the news."The condition of the body is freaking out the stiffs she lived near."

"Where is Raine?"

"Well thats the question.The guy that picked up the body says there was a brunette and some Doctor with her when she died." Tucking in his shirt,he grew still,"A doctor? What doctor,man or woman?"

"How would I know.Some egghead guy she knew." The man didn't exactly go into raptures over the guy,only reason I know its Raine is his description."

"I've never seen anyone yet with eyes as green and this guy had quite a hard on for them."So sad.." He cooed "God I thought I was gonna need a yak bag if I listened to him rhapsodize over her pain filled eye's anymore."

Staring into the nite he asked,"were the cops there while she was?"

"don't have a clue."

"Do me a favor and find out whose in that lab."

"Michael are you freaking nuts how do you think I can do that?"

"He shrugged deliver them a pizza..

"I got something you can deliver and it isn't a pizza."

"So..I'll owe you.. "Yeah yeah you owe me too many already."

Closing his zipper he yanked open the drawer,beside the bed and pulled out his nine mil chambering it he tucked it into the small of his back.Bending back down he pulled a small black bag out from under the bed,opening it he glanced thru the contents making sure everything he would need was there "anything else I should know?"

Cy's voice turned serious,"yeah Teri called me about ten minutes ago thats why I called you it seems theres a tape of you coming out of Karen's apt right before she died."You better hope that Raine doesn't think you had anything to do with it or finding her wont be the problem...her handing you your gonads on a platter will."

Michael's laugh was hard,"of course it just keeps getting better." His gaze turned inward.

"Michael you there?"

"I'm here do me a favor have David call me on my cell phone I want to know where Rogers is without alerting him he's got a nasty habit of telling people my business."Normally I ignore it..its a mutual benefit but he was one of those that went to get the girl.I want to see what he knows."

"Can do..What about Raine? You know its getting ridiculous your such a stud get her in bed and keep her there.Its no secret how you feel about her."You put out enough pheromones when she's around its a wonder she doesn't jump anything in pants."

He laughed,"Didn't you know the lady's fond of humans."

"Right,does she even know your one of her options? "

"Enough..Cy

"Alright.....but with babe like Raine you wouldn't be going thru bed partners like tissue paper...later."

She closed the door and headed toward the main house.Sloan hurried after,"so we have time whats the legend."Raine glanced sideways," you don't really want to hear this,"a skeptical smile flitted across her face."Sure.I do."

"OK,ok."They reached the door and went underneath the crime tape she stood on her tiptoes reaching into a fern hanging from the overhead. The legend she said softly, was something my mother told me when I didn't seem to be getting over Kyle's death as quickly as she would have liked.She shook her head,"I think she made it up truthfully to distract me."

She opened the door and replaced the key looking at Sloan she continued. The story went the Unicorn was the first creature born of creation.But from the chaos that arose from creation itself this caused a Volcano to erupt and later born from the violence and the fire came the Dragon. Sloan entered the hallway looking around it was to dark to see much.

The Dragon jealous since the beginning about that tried to kill the Unicorn leaving no question in the minds of man or beast who would reign unchallenged in the Universe.

Nothing could compare or match the cunning or strength of the Dragon but the Golden Unicorn.She touched Sloan's shoulder,"Its this way we're going to the master bedroom thats where the answering machine is. "Once I get there I'll call him.."

"And???"

Heading down the hallway to the stairs her voice drifted back.. Lilith was this creature, so enraptured by herself she wanted nothing more than to gaze in wonder at her own reflection as much as she coveted her own image she coveted the role of superiority over all more.Realizing she would need help she spawned a son Ebony.

Once she felt her duty fulfilled she simply ignored him until he reached maturity and could be of use to her in her quest.Sloan stumbled then jumped, when a hand grabbed her arm.

"Not that way something in her voice caused her to strain to make out her face in the dim light ."What?"

"Theres blood.It must have happened in there I can smell it."You can smell it??!!" "Its a sense Sloan its heightened like everything else I suppose this way."

They climbed the stairs and entered a bedroom moving to the nightstand she bent peering at the machine the tape was gone and there appeared to have been no evidence of any calls."Damn..well I knew it was a long shot."

"No calls? " "No tape,no nothing,someone was thorough," she gestured at the machine.

"Life doesn't always go as planned,she laughed curtly for any of us it seems." Ebony,yes Ebony you see met the Unicorn's child Sunieya.She was blessed with a sweet gentle disposition hate,much less hating anything different than herself wasn't in her so they became friends.

It could have continued on indefinitely,but Ebony was no longer that small and his comings and goings had distracted her from her fascination with herself.

Pulling out her phone, she clicked on the light beside the bed reaching in the drawer she lifted things searchings the drawer closed,she closed her eyes and sank on the bed,"mother's book is gone they knew her well enough to take that to." Opening her eyes she met Sloan's.Dragon's Sloan their really very cunning imagine what they could do with that knowledge put to good reaching for her bag poking thru it she pulled out a slender address book.Looking down her voice muffled she resumed her tale.

Lilith went looking for her offspring and found him with Sunieya enraged she vowed to rip out its horn.The horn you see is the very essence of who and what they are meeting Sloan's look,supposedly a Unicorn can heal with it,its a symbol of the purity of their spirit. Ebony tried to protect his small friend he failed.

Lilith struck out with her talons, sadly Ebony lept in front of Sunieya and the talons pierced them both killing them instantly. Looking back at the book she found the page she sought she ran her finger down the column trying to find the right number.The Unicorn had arrived by this time to late to save his child,but in time to see justice served,she added absently.

Finding the right one she punched in the numbers and got a busy signal,exasperated she continued, the Unicorn is reluctant to fight but when they do there is no creature in the world that can match if for ferocity and strength.She paused for a moment studying Sloan "shall I go on?"

"go ahead I'd like to hear how it ends, finish please."

"OK,"she gave a half-smile.

Well battle they did Lilith swaying on her legs could fight no more,the Unicorn was the victor rearing,the horn pierced her belly she twisted impaled on his horn. Glancing down at the phone, she frowned her brow furrowing, she hit redial and heard a busy signal again.

Pulling it out the Unicorn stepped back looking down at her,forcing her eyes open to meet his what she saw confused her tears rained down his face his eyes were filled with understanding,regret,and misery so deep even her heart was moved.His words filled her mind.

Life is to precious the callous disregard you have for it wont be tolerated.From this day forth every time you move you will remember the son you threw away,looking from her stomach to her face again,it will be a wound that never heals.

There will be no more prodigy from the one known as Lilith you will be alone for the rest of your days.She grew quiet."That can't be the end.. Can it? "Dragged from her contemplation of the phone she shook her head,pushing redial,it rang and rang."Well that did a fat lot of good,"she mumbled.

A voice answered low and briefly instructed callers to leave a message hesitating she disconnected."theres not much more,"she resumed the story.

The Unicorn walked to the fallen children,touching them with his horn there was a burst of light where they had fallen,a tree sprang forth covered in thorns but bearing the reddest,most beautiful and fragrant flowers in the garden.

A constant reminder that even from tragedy life finds a way to transcend and bring us joy and love again in another form.

"What happened to the Dragon,"Sloan asked. Lilith? She dragged herself deep below the earth she repented and the tears of her mourning produced a river that even today they say can change the most unredeemable. The End.. Rain smiled softly,"you can see why it would appeal its stuffed full of parallels that a grieving impressionable teenager could see similarities in."

Rain stood walked toward Sloan meeting her gaze she felt her sadness."I liked it." Rain's smile lifted one side of her mouth slightly, squeezing her shoulder "lets go he was there, but not any longer, we'll try again after some sleep. Either way I've decided that we can't do anything more here."

As they left the house she hesitated."Rain,ready?"Glancing back she nodded,then saying goodbye yet again gently closed the door.

A knock sounded. " Come.." Looking up,"have you found out what I want to know?"

"Yes,it seems Stephen was responsible for Sacha's death." Leaning back in the chair he clasped his hands,"the body? "

"Already disposed of."Unfortunate the blood would have been invaluable." His tone flat," Why?"

His throat dry and raspy,"it seems he felt Sacha's was not taking the appropriate steps to ensure Raine's protection from the humans."So she needed be removed from the equation."

"Very well..do we know where Raine is now?"

"We suspected she might return to Sacha's place and checked it out she had been there and left we believe she's back at the University with Dr Parker."

Resting his arms on the desk,"Dr Parker.. she does get around.Why?"

"Stephen eliminated the actress Raine associated with.When Whitman became ill Dr Tate was called..Caliph was used on her."

"And.."his voice showing the first hint on interest.

"She expired."

"Pity..an idea of its results on a subject would be of value."

Standing he indifferently perused the individual before him,"find Rain and Sloan Parker."

"There is something more."He remained silent his eyebrow lifted quizzically.

"We were informed the police want Michael for questioning it seems he's the suspect in the incident.But as the body has disappeared it seems their not looking very hard,the government is however."

He smiled coldly,"I see ..Its Attwood I suspect, wanting another subject for his collection."Its Michael's mess he can handle it.If he can't cover his tracks then he'll have to be dealt with.But only as a last resort.In the mean time leave him alone."

"That may not be an option,"turning he headed toward the door picking up a small box and returning he placed it on the desk in front of Lewis.Assessing the dominant before him he used the edge of one finger to flip off the lid on the box,eyes lifting to meet his he smiled humorously "Michael??I'm touched I didn't know he cared." His eyes bored into his,"explain."

"According to those that did regain consciousness Michael suspected Rogers of having something to do with the Whitman woman's death and when he found him finally he was quite insistent on answers."

"Apparently he knew Roger's was spying on him and reporting back Michael wanted to know to whom.. Rogers named you."It was also under your instructions the woman got the drug."

Surprise flickered briefly in his eyes,"that ridiculous."

"Rogers was quite insistent,right until the end."

He smiled viciously,"very clever,Stephen is going to make Michael a stalking horse with me the bait while he grabs Rain out from under his nose."

Turning he strode to the window, looking out murmuring quietly to himself,"that can't be allowed to happen I wont let that fool ruin our plans over his obsession."

"Sir "?

Aloud he responded,"If Stephen interferes with Rain or Dr. Parker again kill him."

"Yes sir," And Michael? "Michael wont be a problem we'll be giving him what he wants once he realizes that he'll come along tamely."

Turning to leave he glanced back, he doubted that he doubted that very seriously...
