Blood:- The Eternal Struggle. Chapter 5:- To Steal a Colonel

[Stormtrooper1990]

Following the successful infiltration of the Nocturne Embassy, and the theft of the Sanguinis List, Duke Allenby is ready to make is move against the Sangunis High Priest and arch traitor Colonel Xavier Hargrove, the head of the Stormward City Watch. Instrumental to the Dukes plan is Anna Volker and her Half-Elven lover Katrina.



" Excellent form, Kat. But how is your footwork? If I step here...". Clang Clang came the clash of steel. "...Then I step again.." Clang. Anna pulled back, nodding with satisfaction. " Very nice, Kat. The Ordos taught you well." Katrina smiled, twirling her silver blade. " You should know by now my love, I'am always full of surprises." Katrina lunged forwards, Anna was able to block in time with her double blades. " Using the element of surprise against your opponent, the Ordos certainly didn't teach you that." Katrina lent in to kiss her. " I guess you are rubbing off of me, in more ways then one." She said in between kisses. Their sparring session quickly turned into a full on snog, as both women kissed each other fully on the lips. " Using seduction against your fellow woman, that's definitely one of mine." Remarked Anna as she pulled out, the lovers laughed as they picked up their weapons and sheathed them. They were in the loading bay, at the back of The Wracked Man, with snow falling around them. Whenever Syrion wasn't using it for business Anna used it for training, and now sparring with Katrina to keep their skills sharp. It had been a couple of days since the gala ball, but the couple hadn't been idle. They had spent the day after on a small contract, stealing the will from the manor of a corrupt magistrate and getting him arrested for hygiene offences, with the help of a couple of very pretty maids who had kindly donated their uniforms. The client had been the magistrates noble niece, who at this very moment had inherited his position. They were paid very handsomely for the job. The day after, the couple hand spent training and running drills while helping Syrion out with the running of the pub, in the evening. They leaned against a stack of crates touching shoulders. " It's been two days, Kat. Do you think Allenby has come up with a plan for Hargrove?" Katrina turned to her lover. " If I was a betting woman, then I would say yes. After our little break in at the gala, he as to be running scared. Preferably he has hidden himself away, in what he thinks is a safe hole. It's up to us to yank him out." Katrina made a gesture with her arm as she said the words. As if on cue Syrion had appeared in the doorway, he was clutching a letter. He was smiling as he walked up to them." That messenger just showed up, with this." He held out a scroll with the wax seal of the city of Stormward. Anna took the scroll and unfurled it. " Well, well. Kat we should take you to the Twilight Casino, we could make a killing. " Katrina put her arm around Anna's shoulder, smiling as she squeezed it. " It's from Allenby, he as a location on the Colonel. He wants to see us, immediately." Anna looked up to Syrion. " I forgot to mention the limousine parked outside my pub. You two better get going, some of the more seedier patrons are already eyeing up the tires."



An hour later, the couple found themselves sitting across from Duke Allenby in his study. " The good news we have found him, the bad news is his location. Tell me, what do you know of Fort Razorcat?" It was Katrina, the native Stormwarder who answered. " It is the first line of defense near Stormward's southern reaches. It is designed to protect against possible incursions from Nocturne from the south, and the Protectorate of Haxony from the West. It is said to be impregnable." Allenby lent back tenting his fingers. " Indeed, Katrina. That is where the traitorous whoreson as secreted himself, behind its high walls and his loyal men." Anna took a gulp of maids blood. " There is no such thing as impregnable. It just means no-one as attempted to breach it yet, with the right uniforms and my mind control, we will have Hargrove eating out of our hands." Katrina smiled as she glanced at her lover, buoyed by her confidence. Allenby poured himself a measure of brandy as he spoke. " With you two, anythings possible. Now this is the plan, you are to infiltrate Fort Razorcat, apprehend Colonel Hargrove and bring him to me. Once he is in custody, we will commence Operation Harvest Moons. We will apprehend everybody on this list simultaneously, so that none of them can run." Anna finished her glass of blood. " Who do you plan to replace Hargrove with. You will need someone loyal, to follow through." Allenby took a sip of his brandy, as he looked to the door. " Send her in." As the door opened to reveal Lieutenant Jordis, with her helmet off Anna could see her shock of ginger hair. " Hello, Anna, Katrina. Good to see you both. I hear you two have been busy." Anna and Katrina threw each other surprised looks then turned to Allenby. It was Katrina who spoke first. " A vampire as head of the City Watch, a novel idea Your Grace, but won't cause a Storm with Knight-Commander Jospheia." Not to mention Nocturne." Anna had to agree, as much as she liked Jordis the plan seemed foolhardy. " Jordis is very popular with the Men and Women under her command, human and vampire alike. Besides, most of the other senior officers above the rank of Captain have gone to war, defending our borders against attacks from Haxony. We are a little short staffed at the moment." When he had finished Allenby leaned back in his car, swirling his brandy. Anna nodded, catching the thread. " This will mean trouble Your Grace, but it could lead to a new tolerance for vampires in Stormward." She looked to Jordis. " Good luck, Jordis. You are going to need it." Anna turned to Katrina, flashing her a mischievous grin. " Let's borrow Syrion's van. It looks like we will be joining the guard."



It took the couple until the late evening, to drive using Syrion's delivery van to the outskirts of Fort Razorcat. Braving the forts namesake as they made their way through the snow drifts, the snow falling more quickly as they neared the Fort. When they were in sight of the Fort's first perimeter wall, Anna parked the van out of sight in a copse of trees. When she was done, they both got out of the van and hung prone on a snowy embankment overlooking the Fort. Down below, was a small guard station a fair length away from the main gate. Anna surmised that it was an observation post, a part of the Fort's early warning system. Using her mind she could detect the thoughts of two guards, they were both human females. Anna smiled as she turned to Katrina. " Our uniforms are in there." She pointed to the pillbox. " We just need to a way to get to them." As they watched a young guard had exited the station, rubbing her hands against the cold. Even from here, Anna could tell she was a looker. Katrina smiled, her face awash with anticipation. " More mind control. My love?" Anna flashed her a mischievous grin, her fangs showing. " Let's go have some fun."


Private Hadriana Cummings hated being posted to this frozen shithole, she had missed the relative warmth of her home, she had missed the warm embrace of her wife, hell she was starting that miss that stupid cat of theirs, despite the fact the beast hated her with a passion. Hadriana was 25 summers she had been stuck at Private for 5 bloody long years, and she couldn't understand why. She believed she was a model soldier, who actually believed the recruitment ads, plus her Wife Grace loved a woman in uniform. She was a looker, with high sculptured cheekbones, angular features and blue almond shaped eyes, her shoulder length raven coloured hair hidden under the fur hat she wore on her head. The rest of her uniform, consisted of a long blue double breasted greatcoat, her ammo webbing with spares for her rifle belted across her waist, her lowly private rank displayed on her cuffs, with black gloves and matching black lace combat boots. Under her great coat she wore matching black battledress, with a double breasted black jacket and matching trousers. Her final layer was the regulation matching white vest and panties. Hadriana had to admit, her uniform did a good job of keeping the cold out, but still she hated this place. She rubbed her hands together, as she begun her sweep of the station perimeter, wishing she was inside warming herself with Corporal Brianna Ashworth. As soon as she took two steps forward, she saw two young women step in front of her, one was a pretty brunette her brown hair done up in a braid, the other was a sensual blonde, with a pixie cut. Her hair was the same colour as Grace's. Hadriana swung out her rifle. "Halt, in the name of the Watch. Identify yourself." The young blonde woman held out her hands. " HUSH, Private Hadriana Cummings. We are your FRIENDS. My name is ANNA, and this is KATRINA." Hadriana felt her eyes glaze over, this woman was beautiful even more so then her wife. " How can I be of service, my dear friends." She heard herself say, Hadriana wanted this woman she would do anything for her. The blonde woman smiled, her voice was so beautiful. " Could you LET us into the warmth of your STATION. We would love to meet Brianna." Hadriana did as she was instructed, she loved this woman, she couldn't let her down.


Corporal Brianna Ashworth warmed herself by the camp stove, cooking a nice tin of baked beans, wondering wear Private Cummings got off too. At 24, she was younger than the itinerant Private, but had got her Corporals braids earlier. Brianna had put it down to her keeping her nose to the grind stone, and not complaining about the weather. As a girl born to the snowfields, she was used to the cold, but Cummings was a city girl who kept on bitching about her warm house, the cat that loathed her and her beautiful wife, Grace. Brianna had to admit, when Cummings had shown her the lithographs, she was impressed, but ultimately felt sorry for the woman if she was married to that whiny milk-drinker. There was a lot of tension between the two, Cummings hated to be bossed around by a younger woman. She sighed, glancing at her reflection. She was very beautiful, with shallow cheekbones, a rounded face and warm brown eyes, her blonde hair done up in a sensible bun behind the back of her head, hidden by her hat. The sound of the door to the station opening threw Brianna from her revelry. " Cummings, where have you b--" Her jaw dropped as she saw Cummings accompanied by two women in leather armour. " Cummings, what is the meaning of this. Who are these people?" Brianna felt afraid, something strange was going on. The blonde woman, spoke to Cummings, in a melodious voice. " My dear Hadriana. Would you kindly take your RIFLE, and KNOCK Brianna out with it." Before Brianna could react, Cummings advanced, hitting her square on the side of her head, with her rifle. Brianna knew only blackness as she crumpled to the floor, unconscious.



As Katrina knelt by the unconscious corporal and began to strip her, Anna turned to Hadriana. " Now if you please, my dear Hadriana. STRIP off your uniform, down to your underwear, and give it to me." Hadriana took off her hat, and unbuttoned her greatcoat. " Yes, friend Anna. I will give you my uniform." She said has she removed her gloves and boots. As Anna removed her own armour, she watched with no small amount of arousal as Katrina stripped the unconscious Corporal. Katrina had already removed the Corporal's greatcoat, boots and gloves, moving onto the double breasted jacket opening it and exposing her regulation white vest, the nipples of her C-cup breasts peaking through the thin fabric. After hoistering the unconscious Corporal up into a seated position, Katrina slipped off the jacket from her shoulders, letting her fall back to the ground. Katrina unbuttoned the unconscious Corporal's trousers and worked them off her hips, peeling them down her long beautiful legs. This left the Corporal in nothing but her matching regulation white vest and panties. As Katrina stripped off her armour, down to her underwear, Anna took the unconscious Corporal into her arms, biting her on the neck taking some of her blood and dosing her with vampire venom. When she was finished, Anna walked over to the now underwear clad Hadriana, taking time to admire her small B-cup breasts, her nipples strained against her vest. " There is a good girl, Hadriana. Now when I command you to, you will fall into a deep sleep for eight hours. Upon waking you will forget our faces and everything that has happened here. Now go to SLEEP." Anna caught the unconscious soldier and gently lowered her to the ground. She then got dressed in the Privates uniform, when she was finished the couple picked up the underwear clad sleeping women and stashed them in an empty cabinet in the guards bedroom. Katrina turned to her lover. " Stand too, Private and prepare for inspection." The couple pulled into a passionate embrace. " Inspection passed, Private Anna." They both laughed. Katrina eyed her up and down. " You look really sexy in that uniform." Anna caressed Katrina's arm. " You don't look too bad yourself, Corporal." They both walked scooped up the soldiers rifles, slinging them over their shoulders, then they walked over to the door. As they opened the door, Anna turned to Katrina." I know where we will find the Colonel, Kat. He is in his office in the central command block, the second floor." Katrina kissed her lover on the cheek. " Then we don't have a moment to lose." She said as they locked the door to the guard station behind them.


Using their stolen uniforms, the couple walked past the front gate, sharing salutes with other soldiers and pausing to salute superior officers. As they neared the command block, a large imposing two story building at the centre of the Fort, they saw a young male private, guarding the double doors into the command centre. Using a little mind manipulation, Anna placed a false thought in his head. Katrina pulled a bemused face as the private, suddenly clenched his buttocks and ran away from the door abandoning his position. As they opened the double doors and slipped in, Katrina turned to Anna. " What did you do to that poor idiot?" Her face full of amusement. Anna smiled as she closed the door. " I just made him believe he needed to go for a shit, the bathroom is on the other side of the base. It will take him ages to find it." Katrina smiled shaking head. " You are awful, but that is why I love you."


They walked into an empty command centre, past a giant war table in the shape of the Stormward Reich, and radio sets along the far wall. The couple then walked up the flight of stairs, and along a corridor lined with the rooms of various officers, until they came to the door with "Colonel Hargrove, C-O." They knocked on the door. After a curt 'enter' they opened the door and closed it. Finding the Colonel seated at his desk, he looked up them. " Yes, what is it soldiers?" Anna quickly scanned his mind, he was susceptible to manipulation. " Colonel Hargrove, we have been SENT by the EMBASSY to extract you. The City have already begun ARRESTING members of the cult. You NEED to come with us, and FOLLOW our commands, sir. You can TRUST us." The Colonels eyes glazed over, a vacant expression came over his chiselled features. " Yes, the Embassy. I will get my coat and follow your commands. I can trust you." They waited for the Colonel to collect his coat, before they left his office and out of the command block.


Making sure the coast was clear, the group got into a staff car, with Anna behind the wheel. As they neared the checkpoint, they were stopped by a female soldier, a trooper given her lack of insignia, by the gate house. Anna quickly read her mind, catching her name, Trooper Dora Jakasen. Before the guard could open her mouth, Anna fixed her with a warm smile. " Evening, Trooper Dora Jakasen. The COLONEL as been called away on URGENT business. We NEED immediate clearance to LEAVE. Is that something you could help us with, my dear?" The young soldiers gazed over, as she fell under Anna's sway. "Yes, it is Private. Here you go. Have a good night." She pressed a buzzer opening the barrier in front of them, flashing the Colonel a lazy salute as they drove past. Anna made a slight detour, to the guard station to pick up their gear. When they were finished, Anna turned the car around and drove back towards the city. " I tell you one thing Anna. Syrion's going to be pissed, that we left his truck by the side of the road." Without taking her eyes off the road, Anna shrugged. " We can buy him a better one, we have the Sovereigns. Besides he always complained that the truck's clutch was useless anyway." They both laughed as they drove on the wintry road back towards the city.


It took them a couple of hours, to drive into the city handing over a still entranced Colonel Hargrove to the Spire Guard. " Ah I see you mind controlled him, he will be like this for the next hour. Nice work, Anna." Said an impressed Lieutenant Jordis. " I will tell you, Anna. The best part of being a vampire, is not the sucking of blood, nor is it the eternal youth. The sex isn't half bad though ." The three women laughed as Jordis continued. " No the best part of being a vampire is the mind control, getting mortals to do what ever you like. It makes my life as a guard really easy." Anna flashed a smile, as the Colonel was bungled out of the car. " Well I suppose congratulations are in order, Colonel Jordis. How are the arrests going?" Jordis smiled. " Very well, Anna. By the morning, there will be plenty of vacancies in the High Chancellor's cabinet and a few empty rooms in the Spire. I would suggest coming back tomorrow, Allenby is busy with Operation Harvest Moons. You two could do with the rest." She raised her eyebrows suggestively, as the two lovers laughed. Jordis tapped the roof of the car as they drove away.


" Don't worry about the van, you two. With the amount of money you both have been raking in, you can buy me three trucks. Anyway I will take the fancy car out front as collateral. She looks like a nice ride." Said Syrion as he wiped a glass clean with a cloth. Both still dressed in their stolen guard uniforms, Anna placed her arm around her lovers shoulders. " She is a nice ride, handles like a beautiful woman. Now if you don't mind we have had a long night." She and Katrina pulled into a passionate kiss. " What do say, Corporal? Shall we have a more.. intimate inspection?" Anna said as she pulled out. Katrina gently caressed her lovers face. " Lead the way, soldier." She said suggestively, as she smacked Anna's arse, both women rushing upstairs to her room for a night of carnal bliss.

STORMWARD HERALD


Sangunis Smashed


By Calista Mayweather Local Correspondent


The evil Sangunis cult was officially smashed today, in a serious of Nighttime raids by the brave Men and Women of the City Watch. Following the daring arrest of its leader the nefarious traitor, disgraced former City Watch Commander Xavier Hargrove, 55 summers, from Fort Razorcat by two Hidden Hands operatives. The new Watch Commander, Colonel Calantha Jordis, 150 summers, the first vampire to hold the post commented. " In a joint operation between the City Watch and The Hidden Hands, I can confirm that the cult of Sanguinis as been officially neutralised. I hope this news and my appointment as your Watch Commander will usher in a new era of peaceful coexistence between the Vampires and Mortals of the mighty city of Stormward." The Herald had sent a request for a comment from the Cities Knight-Commander, Josephia, but was declined an interview. Observers from the Holy Quarter report ominous signs. The doors to the Holy Quarter remain sealed and armed novices patrol the walls, as tensions between the Holy Church and the High Chancellor escalate.


Sources from inside Fort Razorcat, report that two female Watchmen were found unconscious in the observation post of the Fort. They had been stripped of their uniforms and weapons by the daring operatives of the Hidden Hands. At least one of the Watchmen was found to have had traces of Vampire venom in her system, only fuelling rumours that the operatives in question were none other then the famous vampire mercenary, Anna Volker 200 summers and her paramour the former Holy Ordos Novice Katrina Vandenburg, 21 summers. In fact a new song commemorating the pair as been heard sweeping across the inns and taverns of Stormward, called " The Vampire and her Novice Fair"( lyrics can be found on page3). The Herald as tried on numerous occasions, to reach the lovers but so far have had no luck.

Keep your eyes peeled, citizens of Stormward. We will bring you more on the exploits of these two brave women as and when it happens.

You made my idea come to life with this great story. Great story. Love the way Anna takes over Hadriana's mind. Interesting that Anna actually obvious got Brianna's name while reading Hadriana's mind since she knew her name but never actually never used the mind control on Brianna instead just having Hadriana just knock her out. Just a great scene of Hadriana being totally controlled by Anna.

We even get the bonus of the scene where Anna mind controls Dora. Great how quickly and easily she takes over Dora's mind and has her make their escape so easy. We don't get a description of Dora. Was she a cutie like Hadriana and Brianna too?

Since we get to see Anna use her vampire venom again in this story it leads me to a question. We know vampire venom will put a woman to sleep for up to six hours. Does it have any other effects on the women Anna uses it on?

Like Darkwatch before it, the Stormward City Watch recruits only the most cutest of Stormward's ladies into its ranks.

The Vampire venom, also can wipe a woman's memory. Useful if she is already unconscious, and cannot be mind controlled. And also had a mild psychotropic effect, allowing vampires like Anna to feed without their victims crying out. It ensures that they are rendered completely docile.

I like that description. I think that's my favorite part about Anna's character. Her ability to completely control and render docile other women.

It comes so easy for her. It isn't just the big things like the way she had Hadriana knockout Brianna. But it is also the simpler things like how easily she took control of Dora's mind and made her let them leave.

And that isn't all. As a young vampire Anna is growing in both ability and confidence, experimenting with a her abilities. She as 200 years worth of experience.

As she gets older, Anna's abilities will begin to mirror those of her sire. Then there is no limit to what she is capable of.

Hmmm, I wonder what else she will be able to do with the women she places under mind control as her abilities increase?

During Chapter 4 , Anna was able to mind control two women at once and get them to strip. Theoretically, she could end up controlling entire groups of people or be able to control those who are usually resistant to her charms.

I might even write that in the next story. As Anna discovers it almost by accident.

The next destination for Anna and Katrina is they have to go back to the Holy District, as tensions rise between the Holy Church and Stormward. They will discover a dark secret inside it's walls.

Indeed. And she was able to put them to sleep with a single command too.

Looking forward to the next chapter. Hopefully many guards to get past (of course by taking control of their minds and putting them to sleep).

Would also be fun if she needed to access a building and get information by, perhaps, taking control of the receptionist's mind and then putting her to sleep too once she had the information she needed.
