~*Dawn of the Blood Moon*~ STARTS!!!!

[Asilynne]

This is going to be REALLY long lol ^-^()
~~~~Myra Link~~~~
Wood Water Inn, Room 9
:::5:33AM:::
After Yuar left, the atmosphere in the room was quiet, but it was an uneasy quiet. Everyone seemed deep within their own thoughts, and I was no exception. I couldnt stop thinking about what Yuar, my brother had said. He had been there.....he heard the things Lantis was planning, heard the lies he filled me with, and he saw....he KNEW...
He knew that Lantis had wanted to kill our family.
Sighing, I shook my head. I couldnt blame him for not interfering, after all I had been HELPING Lantis at the time. I had killed my Mother, and he said that he too was as much to blame for her and Father's death.....we had both killed our parents....
And yet, neither of us did..
That thought had struck me suddenly. Though we were guilty of one thing or another I knew deep in my heart that if it werent for Lantis, a lot of pain and strife couldve been avoided. Somehow I got the feeling that the Link family wasnt alone either, that many other lives and futures had been ruined by him, that his evil was much farther spread than I could ever see. And then, as if somehow my silent musings were heard by some higher power, I felt it.

It was impossible NOT to, it was so strong. It was like a darkness deep within, a shadow that veiled your thoughts and wriggled deep within your mind, bending it to its will.
It was Lantis.
He was coming, and with a start, I realised he was coming for me. It was nearing sunrise, and, after letting me roam the night by myself so he could go about his business he was coming to collect his 'lost lamb' until the next night. He would bust in the window of the room, and look at me with those eyes, those piercing blue eyes, and then he might laugh. "Well Myra, I see youve made some new friends....." he would say, and then slowly he would start turning us against each other, his aura like a sickness. Like a poison that eats away at sanity until all of us were his pawns....if such a thing happened, my mother would most likely be only the first of loved ones to die at my hands.....
"NO!" I shouted suddenly, causing everyone to look up, startled. I would NOT let this happen! I would NOT let more people I cared about fall victim to...to HIM! I realised that to protect everyone, I had to leave. I could not let Lantis find me with anyone, for if he did then they would become his next victim....

Without a word to anyone I swiftly stood up and yanking the window open, flew out into the night. Instantly the cold, early moning wind cut through me and threatened to blow me off course, but I had to get myself far away to protect everyone.
I wouldnt let anything stop me.
Suddenly I felt something grab my wrist. Twisting in mid-air I turned to see it was Rudy.
Desperation rose up within me, an intense fear that I wasnt even aware I was capable of feeling. "Rudy, please! You have to let me go!" I said, my voice high and tight with strain. Grabbing my other hand he met my frightened gaze with a determined look on his face. "Im not going to let you go by yourself, whatever Lantis is going to do we can face together. I wont let you try and face this on your own!"
I shook my head. "Rudy you dont understand! You dont understand how Lantis is!" I looked at Rudy intently, trying to make him understand. "Now that I finally know he lied to me about everything I realise why he had my parents killed! It was because he HAD to be first! He had to be first in everyones life and if he wasnt then he killed until he was! Rudy...." I paused for a moment to emphasize what I was going to say next. "If he finds you and realises who you are to me, then he will kill you...."
Rudy looked surprised at what I had said but his surprise was greatly overshadowed by his anger. I could tell that he still wouldnt go despite all I said. And then suddenly it was too late, because Lantis had found me.
Seeing Lantis there, I suddenly felt like a small child, one that had been caught doing something wrong and was about to be punished. Although I knew it was far worse than a mere slap on the wrist.....
"Myra...." He spoke, with a slight smile on his face. For the moment he seemed not to notice Rudy, though I knew that he did. "I hope the night has found you well...and, oh! Is this a new friend of yours?" His voice was smooth and sly, and as he turned his gaze to Rudy I felt like it was all over. My mind raced to come up with something, ANYTHING, that I could say to help the situation. And then it came to me.
Before Rudy could say or do anything I grabbed his wrist and showed the bite on it. "I.....I was bored wandering around by myself so.......I changed a human to keep me company..." I hoped that my saying that would make it so Lantis didnt see him as someone he needed to kill, I didnt expect the reation I got. Lantis stared for a while at him, with an amused smile on his face. And then after what seemed like forever he spoke. "I see, how nice. Well, say goodbye to your little pet, Myra dear, because the sunrise is almost nigh." And then he turned away and presumably waited.
I did NOT want to go. I had a million good reasons why I shouldnt have to go, but I also knew that if I didnt it would put everyone I cared about in danger. Though Lantis had his back to me I still had the feeling I was being watched so I had to make it quick. I just hoped Rudy would understand why I was doing this.
"Rudy," I whispered to the clearly furious Rudy, taking off my silver bracelet and closing his hand around it. "Now is not the time for revenge..." I gave him a look that told him this was something I had to do. "I love you....dont forget that..." Then I straightened up and said louder, for Lantis's benefit, "Go and find a place to stay before daybreak, or the humans will be sweeping you off the streets in the morning." Giving Rudy one last look I flew in the direction that Lantis was now flying in, willing myself not to look back lest Lantis see and decide to kill him after all.
Though I kept my outside demenor cold and calm, inside I was a raging tornado. This was the man that had ruined my life, the man who had me destroy my family and my past, and yet I had to go with him so he would not destry my future. I may have to pretend to go along with him for now, but I would find a way to free myself for good. I wasnt going to be this b*stards pawn forever.
One way or the other I would make sure of that.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
After the long, cold night the skies slowely began to glow a lovely orange color as Earths sun peeked above the horizon. All those who were Vampires retire to the dark corners of wherever they called home, to await the coming of sunset once again.....
Soon however the day had passed, and night once again reigned in the streets and alleys of Wood Water City. But something was different, for the night seemed charged with a strange energy, that many could feel but most not comprehend......
Yet....

----
It is now Oct 16, just after sundown. Anyone can still say a little something reacting to what happened but probably best to be in a flashback. Anyone whose characters can move around in the daytime can post a brief thing of what they did if they want, (i.e. If Liven or anyone else who can wants to find Skyler).
^-^ Welcome to Night Two.


Oh and one more thing, I wont be back next weekend, because Im going to the Ka T s U c O n !!!!!!!!!! So have a good week and Ill be back the week after! Ciao!

[Master Rudy]

OOC-Seeing that Asi has left and won't be back until next week I'll be taking care of things for the time being. She's already told me most of the plans so here's what to expect.

This week will be spent trying to track Lantis down. Several characters as you know have a history with him so I guess we could expect to see some big surprises with some of them. As for Lantis himself the plans with him have changed several times so I don't know exactly what can be expected. In any case once the entire group finds him you can expect one hell of a fight. Seeing that we've got to try and keep this going until Asi returns I wouldn't try starting a fight with him until at least Sunday. Of course you guys must be thinking with this many people against him he'll go down pretty easy no matter how strong he is.

However things are never that simple are they?

When this RPG was started by Asi in November she wasn't expecting one night to take so long to go by. As a result the "Moon of the Woman" has been moved to the second night. Since just about every single one of the main characters has vamp blood just about everyone will be affected in some way. The one exception to this however will be Koger. Here's the general idea of what will happen to those with vampiric blood:

Vampires
They will mainly be affected by how they have lived. Those that have tasted blood will be stronger than normal and harder to take down. However those that have never drank blood (such as Rudy)will be weakened. Just about every advantage they usually have is going to go right out the window. Powers such as being able to fly and the ability to heal faster than a human will be gone. Also those that are normally non-violent will have an increased urge to kill and feed on humans. If I remember correctly when Asi was first planning this I think she said something about the fact that vamps who are like Rudy and don't kill humans don't stand a good chance of making it through the night alive. Keep these things in mind for your character if your playing as a vampire.

Dampiels
Being part vamp means they will also feel the effects. However the situation they are put in is slightly different. The more dominant side of them will take over. If the human side is stronger it shouldn't be a problem. However if the vamp side is dominant it will cause them to be a bit more violent.


These things won't happen until sundown. I know Asi already said it's sundown but if you do a flashback during the day like she suggested then keep it in mind. Even so the characters can sense that the night is going to be different before anything happens. Finally the moon will have a blood red color to it during the night. I'm not too sure if that's somehow going to play into things however so all we can do is keep that in mind until Asi gets back.

In the meantime enjoy the RPG and pray I don't screw this up since I'm going to be in charge for a bit! ^_^;

WE'RE DOOMED!!!

[Master Rudy]

Before I move on with here's a flashback to after the moment that Myra goes with Lantis.

Rudy Summers
Flashback (About 6:30 AM)
------
At the moment I was alone in my room. Once I had returned from trying to get Myra to come back the others pretty much got the idea that perhaps it would be best to leave me alone for now. I had put all the lights in the room out and was just standing by the window. The room I was in faced away from the direction the sun rose from. As a result there was a small period of time where I wouldn't be turned into a smoking pile of ash. While I was thinking about things that's pretty much all I did for the past half hour. Nothing more than stand around and watch. Since my eyes were not use to the brightness of the day the light blinded me a bit. However I just didn't care at the moment. I had too much on my mind about the recent events with Lantis.

As much as I wanted to believe that I could have done something to help Myra I knew that anything would have just resulted in me getting myself killed. Never before did I feel more useless than right now. Myra had just put her own life on the line in order to keep Lantis from coming after the rest of us. I wanted to be out there looking for her but there was nothing I could do about it. With the sun out I was stuck in this room and it was driving me nuts. In the past I just ignored the fact that the sun was even there. As long as I was indoors and in a dark area before it was out there was nothing to worry about. Since I usually made it back at least an hour before sunrise I just didn't care about it. However this time was different. For the first time ever it was preventing me from doing something important and I hated every moment of it.

However the sun wasn't the only thing I was thinking about. My first meeting with Lantis was very troubling. He didn't look dangerous at all but yet I could sense the evil in him. As Myra tried to come up with a cover story he acted amused after hearing I was turned. Lantis even seemed slightly happy that Myra made a kill. However I had the feeling Lantis didn't buy it for several reasons. First off was my hair color. Humans didn't naturally have blue hair and I doubted he would have been easily tricked into thinking that I had dyed it that color. It was a shade that wasn't easily made. Next was the fact that the mark her bite had left was on my wrist. Vampires usually went for the neck and he seemed like the type that would teach others to not settle for anything else. Finally there was a look in his eyes that seemed to show that he knew me somehow. It was very unsettling and it worried me.

As I was starting to feel a little tired I closed the curtains and walked over to my bed. Despite the lack of any kind of light in the room I could clearly see the celing as I layed down. With nothing better to do I just started to say my thoughts out loud. "Tyssed! Of all the times during the night this could have happened why did that bastard have to show up now?" With a sigh I then said "For all I know Myra could already be dead." Once those words had left my mouth I started to wish Gyvien was around. If she had been I would have seriously asked her to smack me for even thinking such a thing. I didn't say another word at that point. I knew Myra was alive and I was going to make sure that she made it through the night that way. Looking at the table next to me I picked up her bracelet and put it on. I didn't care what people had to say about a guy wearing a woman's bracelet. Once nightfall came I was going to do everything I possibly could to make sure it didn't turn into a final reminder of who Myra was. However I knew that I'd have to try and find her as soon as I could once the sun was down. If that creep was as possessive as Myra claimed he was then I doubted he'd let her out of his sight tonight. If by some stroke of luck he really did buy her story she'd be safe for the time being. However I knew she wouldn't be able to keep it up all night long. Eventully either the truth would come out or she'd be forced to drink blood and I didn't want either to happen.

What I didn't know however was that tonight was going to be different. Something was going to happen and it was going to make last night look like a night at the beach......
------
Before anyone tries to correct me I know I got that saying wrong. However I honestly don't see a vampire talking about a day at the beach.
lol

Anyway sunset will be 6:15 PM. As for the effects of the night I'd say that for a short amount of time things will be normal. 6:45 will be the time everything starts to happen. Keep that time in mind when you guys start to make your posts ^_~

[Bulbasaur4]

Well... Gyvien would probably be sleeping in another room right now. Though she's a strong, bitter soul she wouldn't make herself so tired so she wouldn't be useful tommorow night, would she? Mwhwhaaaa... but feel free to wake her up, Rudy, Koger- or whoever for some strange reason .^^ Interaction=good.

Oh, and Vylianne will be entered now. Don't worry... she won't spoil your 'plans' ... yet. XD I'll post her form when I post from her view. Oh, and she's a seductive... rather revealing one.. lol.



Yuar Oro - Vampire - M (Off in some... secret location)

****



The sun had risen and the dawn had come.

Of course... I easily flew through the night like a bird- or, rather I jumped from street to street in an effortless chase. In no time I came to my hide out... the old one I had designed myself many years ago, and it was still here. Sure it was a secret location inside of a building... a warehouse, but it served my purposes. It was underground... hidden... dark, and very useful.

Narrowing my eyes, I took a match upon a dusty table, and quicky sparked it against the rough edge of the wood. It instantly crackled and I lit a drooped white candle... and instantly the room let loose a dim glow. Sighing, I blew out the match and threw it away upon the cold, cemented floor. Taking my foot I smashed it against the match... and dug it into the ground. Sighing to myself... I stood up straight, as I approached a drawer and opened it. Inside was a black bag... small, useful and easily attached to one's waist with a leather belt.

Taking it out, I blew off the dust as I opened it... and found a gun of course, it was far better then the one I had brought with me. This gun was given to me... a long time ago, and although it was old- it was far from being outdated. It was more powerful and silent then the one I currently used... and I quickly took the gun out, and placed my other gun back in it. Putting it back into the drawer, I sighed and looked around. What now...

Mostly, I escaped here to get my gun and to relax... to get away from everyone. I had to think... about Gyvien, Rudy, my sister... and most of all, Lantis.
That bastard will die... he will die by my gun or my blade. I will kill him... for outcasting my from my parents, from making me dead to my family... to brainwashing my sister... and for killing my mother and father. He will die...

Clenching my fist I slammed it against the wood... first sign of night, I would return to the others and we would kill him. I was going to hunt him whether they wanted to go or not... better I find him then him find-

"Well well... if it isn't Dracy-puu..."

I instantly jerked around and threw my gun out and pointed it at the shadow which had jumped from behind me. My green eyes narrowed... and they didn't widen a bit when I saw who it was.

"Vylianne..." I growled, still my gun pointed at her. She smiled ... that same, happy smile that she did... but of course, it was fake. She tenderly rolled her finger along the wooden table I had struck the match against before... as she placed her hands then behind her head and gazed about.

"Sort of a rusty, ugly place isn't it?"

I didn't respond, as she smirked as she gazed at me.

"Suits you."

She then walked towards me, and I took a step back... holding my gun at her face. She frowned, her dark, red-orange hair flowing around her shoulders as her deep, violet eyes gazed at me with a bemused gaze. She spread her arms wide... as she showed she supposively had no weapon. She wore a bikini-like top like usual... a brightly patterned orange, and tiny straps. Upon her lower self she wore tight, black shorts which easily showed off her lengthy, athletic and light-built legs. She dressed to kill... and it was more ways then one. Of course, she did have the body to back iti up... and was very attractive- but I knew her too well.

" You wouldn't harm some one who is unarmed, would you Dracy? No... that isn't like you." She turned her back to me, as she crossed her arms, and I sighed, putting my gun away inside my jacket. She turned her head back to look at me with those strange yet mystifying eyes...
"That's better. Now I can tell you some thing fun."

Fun... she always said those words. Yet it meant so many different things with her...

She approached me further, her eyes seemingly piercing right though me... she was so different. She was like Gyvien in a way, for she was very deadly and skillful in her fighting abilties... I had fought along side her at points. But yet... she was far different. She was very open to people- and rather friendly, and often spoke in ways most people wouldn't dare to do. But behidn that friendly appearance... she was very deadly. Like a viper in the grass... at least, to me she was. Yet she still tried to act friendly. STrange... indeed.

She came closer to me- very close. Her leg pressed into mine...as her chest brushed slightly above my higher abdomin muscles... and she gazed up at me, and my body froze. I was rigid... and looked down at her, my eyes still hard... glaring, but she simply gave a grin as she brought her light, sun-kissed hand and brushed it against my lips... but I didn't move. She often did this... tried to get what she wanted by being a seducer- but I had fought hard, and she knew I had to fight... fight it... for I meant nothing to her. I knew that... but still, fight.

She then whispered.. .her voice smooth, deadly... like a silent river with a hidden waterfall.

" Those other vampires you were with... your sister... "
I took a step away, shoving her hard with my hand but she barely was phased. She took a step back, but she grinned wider.
"Awww.... and here I wanted to have fun."

"Spit it out Vylianne... what about my sister?"

She shrugged, tugging at her hair as she playfully licked her lips and took a step towards me again. This time her hand pressed hard against my abdomin muscles...
" She's been taken... by Lantis."
"WHAT?!" I spat, taking a step back... my eyes widened in shock... I quickly whipped out my gun and pressed it to her forehead with lightening movements, but she didn't even blink.
"You lie."

"Why Dracy-puu? Why would I lie? I saw it... I see things that even Lantis doesn't now. Heh... poor soul. He took your sister... or maybe, your sister just went with him. Her little 'pet'... the blue haired one, he was powerless! Stupid fool!"
She laughed, and I put the gun away yet again... I couldn't shoot her, it was obvious she had no intention to kill me and... she had to be telling the truth. She didn't lie about this... not this stuff.

"Yes yes... you see? She went with him!! Now both you, that blue haired fool and everyone is powerless until tommorow!! tomorow! And you know what? Tommorow is the night... the night when everyone changes!!"

She now took steps back... as I gave a confused and bewildered look. She grinned... exposing her fangs, delicate yet so deadly... she quickly made it so only her viberant violet eyes could be seen in the shadows.
" You have tasted blood Yuar... I know that. You will be stronger... far stronger than you are now- as will I. But..."

Suddenly I saw her leap... and as I took a dashing step to the spot she used to be- there was nothing. She wa s gone... she often did that, and I still had yet to know how...

" ... but let me say this... tommorow night, I wouldn't have trusted you to put a gun to my head.."

I froze... what was that supposed to mean? Gazing about... I sighed, clenching my fist. Vylianne... how did she get in here? How did she know? It was all.. all too confusing. I had to find the others, and... get Lantis.

Lantis would die... no matter what. Die. Death was the only answer now..
**


(Here is a pic of Vylianne- Here!

Just remember... she wears the same top, looks the same way except her eyes are a deep bewitching violet and her hair is a deep reddish-orange color. She also wears black shorts... short. ^^) ARen't you guys curious to who she is now? lol..

[Master Rudy]

OOC-This just keeps on getting stranger and stranger. I think you've not only got everyone wondering but confused as well since she seemingly came out of nowhere. Can we expect to see a profile soon Kalah or will she be an NPC that we'll learn about over time?

EDIT-Ignore that last question Kalah. I missed what you said about posting her profile soon. That's what happens when your tired and in a rush at midnight. ^_^;

[Outlaw JT]

OOC: time to spice things up even more. say hello to another wonderful twist!!


???? 6:30am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

He sat at the head of a massive rectengular table. It was the type of table you would find in a royal dining hall. The type of table that no one saw these days.
His entire home was something no one saw these days. He had taken lordship of a medium sized castle in the countryside. It was well removed from civilization and that suited him perfectly. For the time being anyway. He still had much to do before making his presence well known.
"Your footsteps do not betray success Oyar!" he said over his shoulder as he heard someone approaching.
"My lord," Oyar began, trying to hide a bitter tone. "Gyvien had help. There was a treacherous mutant and two other vampires with her. They were all very advanced in skill. I swear we did ou....."
"Are you sure about that Oyar? Rumor has it you encountered Miss Gyvien alone this evening Oyar. Your orders were to capture her and bring her here immediately," he said as a twisted smile crossed his lips.
"But......Rudy.......he......." Oyar countered weakly.
"I have no patience for your petty need for revenge Oyar. If you cannot follow my orders directly I have no use for you," he said, snapping his fingers.
Three figures emerged from the darkness. Two siezed Oyar by the arms and the third kneeled behind him, awaiting his commands.
"Please my lord. Give me another chance. I know these people. I would be instrumental in defeating them and captu........"
"No Oyar. You have failed at this task once. I see no reason to provide you a second opportunity to disappoint me. Likeb, Johan, introduce Oyar to my little pets in the dungeon. It has been days since they last fed," he said with grim joy.
"No," Oyar said.
With a sudden jerk he twisted both of his captors away from him he then leapt forward with a twisting spin, landing in front of the man ordering his death. He stood up, anger and bitterness rising on his face.
"This was all mine till you arrived and it is time I took it back!" he shouted eagerly.
"Really Oyar. Must you display your ineptitude. Your death need not be so dramatic," the man said confidently.
Oyar spit at the man bitterly. He hesitated for a moment then charged forward. He swung with a heavy fist and great speed. His fist seemingly passed right through the head of the man. He swung again and followed through with a roundhouse kick. They passed through the man as if there were only air. Oyar swung one more time with his fist but it was caught by the right hand of his intended target. Oyar had not even seen him move.
"Truly pathetic. What made you think you could hurt me Oyar? I am older than your feeble brain could imagine. I have not endured the aristocracy for so many millenia just to be beaten by a pathetic youngling such as yourself on the eve of my rise to dominance," the man said sharply.
Oyar let out a crippling yell as the man crushed his hand into jelly. Oyar was then lifted up by the one hand and slammed into the ground repeatedly. Only when Oyar's body stopped twitching did the man cease slamming him violently into the ground.
"Take Oyar to my pets gentlemen. And........don't fail me again like that. You should both be Oyar's equal physically," he said with quiet discontent.
Likeb and Johan picked up the rumpled mess that was Oyar and dragged him out of the chamber. The third figure still sat there, kneeled and awaiting orders.
"And of Oyar's mission?" she said cautiously.
"See to that personally my dearest Lotus. Take the twins and two of our own mutants. You should prove much more challenging then Oyar and his incompetent band. Take Gyvien alive so that I may have a word with her. Any others with her........you may do with them as you see fit. I have no need of her companions. "
"Very well my lord. We know where they are staying. We shall set out immediately," Lotus said with confidence.
She disappeared into the shadows of the room. In a moment she was gone. He was again alone in his chamber. He had grown quite fond of it these past months. It had served him well.
"Soon though. Soon I will have everything Lantis and those damn aristocrats denied the nobles. Down here they will hold no power!" he said as the twisted smile returned to his face.


Koger 10am
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

His finger slipped down the curtains again in boredom as he took a quick peek outsight at the bright morning. The streets were not particularly busy. Everyone was still too afraid from all the events of the previous night to venture out.
"Hey! Do you mind?" Rudy said irritably from the far corner.
"Don't be so timid!" Koger replied dully. "I have no intentions of barbecuing you. I just want to see what's going on outside. It is so tedious to just.........wait."
"Gyvienne and Farwell need rest. And I can't go anywhere till sunset," Rudy answered back.
"Well aware my young padawan, wellll aware," Koger replied swiftly, his voice trailing a bit in tedium.
"Do you two ever shut up?" Wynder said from the other far corner as he looked up. "Some of us are trying to get some sleep here."
"Yes, well, some of us don't need sleep and some of us become talkative when there is absolutely nothi......" Koger paused mid-sentence.
His head tipped to the side as he turned about as if looking for something. Rudy took the hint and got up nervously. He also began looking about for anything out of place.
"What is it now?" Wynder asked irritably as he also got up.
"Vampires........at least three......." Rudy said as he reached for his weapons. "But from where? It's daytime. How could they have gotten here?"
"Sewers.......there are five total.......maybe six," Koger replied quickly as he drew out both his katana's. "Rudy, wake Gyvien and the others. Human, with me. We shall stall them while you prepare."
"Say what?" Wynder started.
Koger simply grabbed him by the arm and dragged him downstairs. They took a moment to survey the lobby but saw nothing out of the ordinary. The innkeeper looked at them and grimaced.
"What now? You've already closed my business for the day," he said bitterly.
"Do you have a basement?" Koger asked.
"Sure it's right back......" he stopped as he looked behind him.
In the room behind the counter there was a door to the basement. It had been closed just a moment before. Now it was open and a striking young looking woman stood in it. She was wearing a violet low v-cut shirt and black leather pants and she had the purest white hair.
"mmmmm," she hummed as she licked her lips. "You must be the mutant. I shall take great pleasure in this. I've never tasted the blood of a mutant before."
"Oh yes. This should be great fun!" Koger said, the smile broadening across his face.
With lightning speed he sommersaulted over the innkeeper. His swords were held outstretched in front of him towards the beautiful white haired woman. Her smile was almost as broad as Koger's as she drew out a katana and tanto, stretching them out to touch the tips of Koger's own blades.
"Mr keeper, now might be a good time for you to run. Wynder, only one of them can get through this door at a time. Might I suggest you fetch Rudy and Gyvien while this lovely lady and I dance," Koger said cockily back over his shoulder. He took one more look at the striking white haired woman and watched the light from the lobby candles flash off her fangs. "Quickly if you would!"


OOC: this should spice up the daytime for everyone a little bit. Feel free to have fun with this. Just keep a couple things in mind. First, there are three vampires and two mutants in the group attacking us. Second, they are no pushovers. They should provide a good challenge for our group of heroes although not an unbalanced one. Don't end things too quickly. I'd like to get in a good post during the main event of the daytime.

[Master Rudy]

OOC-Well that really changes things. For awhile it seemed as if things were set up so that the group believed Oyar was working for Lantis due to his past connection with him. Now I'm wondering who the hell this guy is and why he hired Oyar. Seems like Rudy and Gyvien have pissed off their fair share of people doesn't it? ^_^;
lol

Anyway I'll see what I can do about a post in Dawn later but I'm not making any promises. I've also got to try to post in FS or RB. In addition it's been a bit of a long day and I'm not sure if I'll be on later. In the end it all depends on what I come up with an idea for first (if I do come up with one that is)

[Master Rudy]

Rudy Summers
10:02 AM
------
Of all the times we had to be attacked why did it have to be now? I was starting to see why Myra was worried about Lantis. It was a bold move on the part of any vampire to launch an attack during the day. It did put them at a disadvantage but me anf Farwell happened to be just as weak as they were when it came to sunlight. As for the others everyone except Koger was slightly weakened by the sun. The fight had barely started and I already knew this wasn't going to be good.

Charging into Gyvien's room I saw that rather than sleep in the bed she was on the floor in one of the corners. It was an odd sight but there was no time to think about it. Walking over to her side I got on my knees and tried to wake her up by gently shaking her. As soon as I tried this however she brought one of her arms around and slammed my head into a wall. I was shocked by her actions and even more shocked when she went for her dagger. However as soon as she saw it was me she stopped. Standing up she shouted "What the hell are you doing!? In case you didn't know that's a good way to get yourself killed." I felt a tiny bit of blood rolling down the side of my face from a cut near my right eye. As I wiped some of it away I told her "I think I got the message Gyvien." I was about to explain what was happening when two vampires came into the room. Thinking fast I ripped the curtain away from the window and put it over myself. Soon after I heard a few yells and then footsteps as they ran out of the room. Without taking off the curtain I asked Gyvien "Are they gone?" I heard her coming toward me as she spoke "I don't think you need to worry about those two. You didn't kill them but they got a few nasty burns for their trouble."

With my sister's help I managed to get out of her room without getting burned to a crisp. Once I made it out of the doorway and got the curtain off I saw how the fight was going. With the exception of Farwell everyone was fighting. Koger was fighting the female vampire that appeared to be the leader. Wynder was face to face with a mutant while Liven was battling it out with another mutant. Finally just down the hall were the two vampires that ran into me and Gyvien. Getting my first good look at them I saw one was a woman while the other was a guy. Drawing my katana I asked in a slightly angry tone "So is it a clear day outside?" The woman looked at me and said while drawing a katana of her own "Your going to die for that you little bastard!" With that she rushed me leaving Gyvien to deal with the other one.

As she started to attack I quickly blocked everything with my weapon. I could tell she was very skilled but a burn on one of her arms was slowing her down a bit. After a minute or so she dodged one of my slashes and as a result my katana got stuck in one of the wooden walls. As I tried to free it she quickly came after me with a thrust at my back. I had a feeling something like that was coming so rather than leave myself open I quickly tried to sidestep out of the way. As I did so I managed to tug my weapon out of the wall. However she still managed to get me a little bit and grazed my left arm with her blade. Getting back into a defensive stance I watched as she licked some of my blood off the blade. With a smile she said "It may not be as fresh as human blood but that doesn't mean I'm going to let it go to waste." Without moving a muscle as I waited for her next move I said "Enjoy it while you can. That's going to be the last time you taste anyone's blood." As we started to fight again the only thing on my mind was finding out why the hell Lantis would send them after us during the day. Something didn't make sense but there was no time for that now. Unless we won this fight then none of us would be getting the answers that I was sure we all wanted......
------

I know that Lantis isn't the one behind this. However with everything that has happened Rudy assumed it was him. Just wanted to point that out before anyone got confused ^_~

The crap had hit the fan fast. Koger had instructed me to get the others but the second i headed for the stairs they all came running down them.
It didnt take long for everyone to pair off and i found myself Face to face with a mutant. He was good, wielding a Katana blade much like my own, his stance seemed unwieldy though, as if he didnt know what to do with it. Indeed he barely had used it, mainly relying on his martial arts skills which were formiddable.

The small inn was getting crowded fast and since going outside wasnt an option a number of us were forced to fight back to back. I found myself close to rudy. The female Vampire attacking him mocking him at every opportunity. I looked back in time to see my opponents foot lash out at me. Barely dodging i span my blade to ward him off and as it came to rest with my blade pointing behind me i heard a muffled yelp. I had intended to lure my opponent in to whip the blade forward in a slashing motion but i now found it stuck in something.
I drew my pistol and span in one motion, keeping the gun on my own opponent while checking behind me. I realised that i couldnt fire my gun since someone outside would hear and alert the police, possibly hunters but it did keep my mutant at bay for a while. Looking back I found that my blade was now lodged firmly in the back of Rudy's assailant.
I usually feel bad about killing females but on this occaision i guess it could be put down to an accident.

"Nice move Wynder" rudy called out. "Uh, yeah of course, dont mention it". Hey, may as well take credit where i can. I turned back to my own attacker as i saw Rudy raise his own sword to strike the killing blow, withdrawing my sword from her back i swung it forward in the same motion i had intended earlier, making a nice cut in his clthing, not to mention his chest. Nothing serious but he staggered back. Spinning my sword once again i prepared for his next attack.

[Asilynne]

OOC: Well Im back from the Katsucon! ^-^ We had to leave early on Sunday cause it was snowing like mad, so for Monday and Tuesday (since school was cancelled) I just hung out at Sarahs house ^-^ and there is no school tomorrow either! Wow winters good for something!

But anyway, first things first. I want to thank Rudy for taking care of my RPG while I was away ^-^ It was an important turning point in the RPG and I didnt really get a chance to explain some important things, and Im glad Rudy told it so well ^-^ So Thank you Rudy!

Ok moving on, I need to figure out what exactly is going on with everything eheh...lol ^-^() I have no real big problem with the new characters Bulbie and JT, but I dont like the fact that I dont know whats going on.....but hey, I guess even I need to be surprised every once in a while! ^-^ Just remember to keep in mind the things that Rudy posted earlier, and also one more important thing:
I think this daytime twist could be interesting, but I dont want the day to last for very long. After seeing how long one night was I was setting the limit on two nights and planned on fast-forwarding the days. But since this side plot was introduced Im going to let it finish up, but please keep that in mind and, when a convinient time pops up, fast forward to night. Id appreciate it ^-^

Ok moving on, lets see if I can figure out things enough to make a decent post ^-^()

----Father Farwell----
Wood Water Inn, Hallways
:::10:06 AM:::
Where had these Vampires come from?
Three Vampires and two Mutants had somehow found thier way to the inn, in the middle of the day. There was no explanation for how they did this, or even why they had chosen to attack us, but as I knew all too well, vampires usually didnt NEED a reason.

"Ronin! After your studies you wanna play with me and Kael? Its a beautiful day today!!" a little girls voice chirps happily to a boy in a school uniform writing at a desk. The boy turns and smiles. "Sure, as soon as Im done Aelia." The little girl smiles and trots happily away, but soon the sound of screaming pierces the air.
A silhoette fills the doorway of the candle lit room, and a thud is heard as the body of a little girl hits the floor. "So little....." a slithering voice says, "So sweet.....yet so little........not nearly enough to fill me up...." The form comes closer to the clearly frightened boy and......
And...
I never remembered what had happened next that day my family was killed by vampires. The next thing that I remembered was kneeling in a pile of ash, my hands over my sobbing face and praying. Somehow I had made it alive....I could only guess that I had survived by Gods will alone, that I had yet to fulfill my purpose...
And now these Vampires had found a way to attack during the day just like the ones back then. But this day wasnt going to be the same. I was now a member of the undead, but I woundnt stand by and watch as innocent children were slaughtered by other undead creatures. I had to do something to help.
Somehow.....
Suddenly one of the mutants was cut across the chest by the one called Wynder and staggered back, nearly bumping into me. I saw my chance and instinctively grabbed him from under the arms into a lock. Wynder, seeing the advantage, ran forward and drove his shoulder hard into the confused Mutant's throat, knocking he and I backwards. He was out cold and I released my hold on him, letting him fall to the ground as I struggled to catch the breath that was knocked out of me. Wynder grinned and cracked his knuckles. "Not bad for a priest."
I smiled and nodded once. Not bad indeed, but it wasnt over yet. I looked down at the unconcious mutant. Mutants and vampires only attack in groups with each other when there is something they both mutually want, and the only way they could obtain it would be to work together. These HAD a reason for attacking us.
The only question was, what.
-------------------------------------
I really DONT know what ^-^()
Well Im going to post for Myra either later tonight ( x.x ) or tomorrow before I go home ^-^

[Ultimate Charizard]

I know JT asked for no quick victories and since i was pushing it with Rudy's opponent ill counter Asy's.

Wynder
----------

I smiled as the Preacher moved off to find a safer spot away from the combatants. I was about to launch myself back into the fray when i felt something grab my ankle. I looked down to see the Mutant i thought i had just knocked out. I remembered Koger's words about Mutants having more abilities than youd think. Obviously faking being knocked out is one of them.
Before i had chance to react he span up in a motion that allowed both feet to lash out at me, disarming each hand in one motion. Both Sword and Pistol flew off into the darkness. He stepped back and dropped into a fighting stance.

"Lets see how tough you are without your toys" he hissed. "My pleasure" i replied and dropped into my own stance. "He nodded, recognising the stance. "Ah...you have good Form, this could be interesting"

I grinned and lept forward.....

[Master Rudy]

Don't mention it Asi. If you ever need me to do something like this again then let me know ^_~

As for the battle how do I BS my way out of this one?


Rudy Summers
10:06 AM
------
Wynder's lucky blow from behind caused the woman to slump over a bit as she grabbed a wound on her right side. I was about to go for the killing blow but backed off when I noticed something. Once again getting into a defensive stance I said to her "There's no need to fake it anymore. I know your not dying on me. There aren't any vital organs in that area anyway." As she looked up at me and got into her own stance once more she said "I will give you credit. Your not as dumb as you look. You also fight as well as I've heard." Holding my ground I asked her "So you've heard about me haven't you?" Suddenly she started to laugh. As she looked at me I saw something in her eyes. Somehow I could just tell she wasn't all here. After a moment I simply stated "Your crazy." With another laugh she said to me "Perhaps I am. But you have no clue do you? Even if you live through this you and your friends have no idea what will happen to you tonight do you?" I had no idea what she was talking about at this point but I didn't say anything. Laughing once more she said "Someone like you derserves to die like a human. I'm going to enjoy this!" With a smile that showed off her fangs she launched her attack on me once more.

Each blow came slow at first. It was quite simple to block everything she had but I just couldn't finding an opening. Suddenly her attacks started to come at me much faster. After a few moments I went from easily being able to block her blows to having to try and dodge them as well. Slowly I was being overpowered and I knew I wouldn't be able to keep this up much longer. By this point I knew the truth. Despite her injuries she was still able to fight better than me. An assassin that could keep going like this was not someone to take lightly. I tried to keep on fighting but I knew I wouldn't be able to keep it up much longer. Underestimating someone was sometimes a deadly mistake. I knew when I was outclassed and it would only be a matter of time before she won.

Finally it came. With a quick move that I didn't even see coming I had been disarmed. Before my katana even had a chance to hit the ground she managed to grab it out of midair. However I wasn't ready to give up. Without many other options I instinctively went to draw my daggers. However to my shock I suddenly noticed something. In my mad rush to grab my katana and wake Gyvien I had made the stupid mistake of leaving my daggers in my room. I quietly cursed at myself as she approached me. Pretty soon I had my back against the wall. Dropping her own weapon she took my katana and in a matter of seconds I had been slashed on one of my legs and then one of my arms. The attack ended with her slashing me across the stomach with my own weapon. Not being able to take much more punishment I went down fast. None of the attacks would kill me but I already knew the death blow was coming. However to my surprise my katana was dropped right in front of me. I made an attempt to grab it but before I could get it back I was dragged away from it and flipped over onto my back. Before I could do anything else the woman I had been fighting was sitting on my chest and had me pinned down. Smiling she said "If I'm not mistaken I said I was going to kill you like a human and I never lie about things like that."

Without any warning she suddenly went for my neck. Just as I felt her fangs starting to dig into my skin a gunshot rang out. The bullet had gone into her back and now she was off of me yelling in pain. Looking up I saw it was Gyvien who had fired. She was about to fire again when suddenly her gun got knocked away from her hand. Within moments she was back to her own fight. However I now had the chance I needed. Getting up I quickly got my katana back. Turning my attention back to my attacker I saw she was recovering and had made an attempt to get her weapon back as well. After slashing her arm to keep her from getting it I took a moment to kick her in the stomach a few times before finally ending it with a blow to her face. After everything that had happened I was pissed. However I wasn't going to kill her. I still needed a lead on where Lantis was. However before that I was going to let her know I was serious. Putting my katana away I grabbed her by the hair and said "Sorry b**** but I'm not on the menu today. In the meantime let me show you to the door." With those words I then proceeded to slam her face right into one of the doors several times.

When I was finally done I leaned her up against the wall and told her "You get out of here and tell your boss that when I catch up with him that he is going to pay for kidnapping Myra." She seemed slightly confused at the mention of her name but I didn't question it. Seeing what Lantis had done to Myra I figured he wasn't exactly the type to tell the whole story. My attacker seemed about ready to ask me who she was but I rammed the back of her head into the wall for her trouble. "Your in no position to ask me questions. Just keep in mind that your boss will know who I'm talking about. Now get out of here!" Stepping away from the vampire I watched as she slowly made her way back to where they had entered. I would give her a few moments before following after her. Taking a look around I could see that everyone on both sides was injured in some way. It had been a long battle but it seemed like we were starting to get the upper hand. I knew everyone else would be fine without me. After resting for one more moment I went down the stairs and quickly found where they had come in from. It appeared to be a hidden entrance in one of the walls. Going down another set of stairs I was soon overcome with some kind of strange smell. It wasn't blood but pretty soon I found out just what it was as I stepped into the sewers. I knew if one of the others was with me that they would groan at what I was about to say. Talking out loud to no one but myself I said "It's a dirty job but someone's got to do it."
------

For now Rudy is exploring the sewers on his own. For plot purposes he'll soon lose track of the vampire he was fighting. After all she isn't going to lead him to JT's new character that easily is she? As for other characters following him I think the only ones that should do so for now are Gyvien and Koger. I already had something planned with Kalah so maybe it would be best if only me, her and JT have characters in the sewers for now.

Also to quickly catch Asi up. I'm sure that by now you've read all the new things that have happened but in case you didn't here is a quick recap. Following the events of last night the group is just in the inn waiting for nightfall to begin the search for Lantis. However JT's new character had other plans. Unknown to the group Oyar was working for him and not Lantis. Oyar was killed for failing and then a group of five assassins were sent to the inn as part of a surprise attack during the day. Rudy however doesn't know a thing about this new character and has been assuming that Lantis is behind this attack. That's the reason why he let his attacker go. He believes he'll be able to track Lantis down that way. However as I said before he'll lose track of her since it will only lead him to JT's character.

Anyway that's it for now. Keep in mind that I only want Gyvien and Koger following Rudy for now ^_~

[Bulbasaur4]

Gyvien – F – Dampiel


Rudy just had to wake me up upon that moment, didn’t he? He had to wake me up right when those hard… red eyes glared at me and that voice whispered in my sleep. He told me he was waiting… that he was going to fool everyone when the time came. That the time would come… and w hen it did, …
Rudy of course woke me up at that point, to which I instantly smacked him into a wall and went for my dagger but saw it was just my blue-haired brother.

Now however, was the time for battle. And the truth of the matter was I was happy that finally we had some action. Fighting was some thing I had a lot of training in… a lot of purpose came from fighting for me, and the act of killing or inflicting pain didn’t daunt me. It probably was a scary fact… but I couldn’t help how I was raised. It just… was the way I had known life. All my life was filled with blood, violence, pain, trickery and seduction. Nothing of good ever really came out of it… perhaps, just the knowing that I had some knack for surviving.

I was fighting an insane mutant… insane was truly the word. If I thought Koger had a unique perspective, then I probably would think this guy should win a medal for creativity. He wove around me… his wild, almost magenta-swirling eyes spinning around like madness. His wild, crazy white hair blew about as he held a sword in his hand and laughed insanely.
“What a fine dinner I will have tonight! Dampiels and Vampires!” Freak.
I gritted my teeth and ran at him, and unsheathed my dagger. Metal met metal… and he pushed against me as I did against him, and we held both our grounds. The mutant was strong… and he leaned his face forward as a smirk appeared upon his face.
“ Ready to die? I will roast you before my blade and savor the victory with smearing your blo-“
I didn’t want to listen to his nonsense babble, and quickly I took my foot and rose it when he was not paying attention and kicked him square between the legs. He howled with pain as he immediately leapt with amazing grace backwards, recoiling to collect himself. Even for a mutant… it had to have hurt. I wasn’t about to let him rest however… but soon I saw Rudy running into his own problem. A vampire had him in a fetal position… and well, being bitten by your own kind couldn’t feel too good, could it? I quickly shoved my hand in my jacket pocket and felt the cool metal of the gun with in my hand, and instantly slipped it out with lightening reflexes. Pointing it at the female vamp… I smirked,
“ How will this feel b*tch?” And instantly the gun fired and the bullet pierced her back- quite painfully I might add. It wasn’t a death-like blow… but it was good enough to make her leap back.
“You shall pay for your trechery!” The insane mutant suddenly came back as he charged forward and knocked the gun out of my hand with his sword. My weapon wasn’t damaged… but it still ticked me off. That sword could have done some thing if it was actually sharp enough.

“ Why you-“ The mutant had took his fist and punched me in the gut, and I quickly leapt back myself as I felt he tingling reminder of his infliction. Glaring with my piercing green eyes… I quickly clutched my dagger and then charged at him. He charged as well… and his swirling, mad eyes seemed to glow as he aimed for my shoulder. Quicklly however I dove at his legs, and soon I had him flung high over my back and crashing into the wall behind. With cat-like reflexes, I whirled around and then charged at him.
I punched him quickly in the face and then aimed a high kick into his gut as he struggled to get up. Taking my dagger I slashed it into the air but yet again his sword met my weapon. This time however he slung his sword with a powerful countering under sweep, and I only had a mere second to step away from the glancing blow. Quickly I met his sword again, and this time I used both hands to press my dagger over his sword and then swiftly push the metal away. Going at him I slashed fiercely with a drive of my own fire, and the wiccan-inhanced blade carved into his flesh straight across his chest. He howled and recoiled back, as instantly blood stained his shirt… and I smirked. The blade which was given to me by Yuar Oro was enhanced with wiccan witch-craft- able to burn whose flesh ever came in contact with it. It was quite painful… and t he mutant found that out, as he continued to howl in rage and pain. He charged at me again and slashed his sword in the air, and I moved back again but the sword managed to slice a corner of my new jacket. Just as I was about to charge at him again a whistle went through the air…

They were retreating. The female vampire who seemed to be a leader had recoiled and disappeared below, and my mutant ‘friend’ went after along with a few others. I narrowed my eyes, as they left and quickly searched about. Where was Rudy?

“Where’s Rudy?” I quickly spoke sternly, and everyone glanced about. Everyone seemed to be okay… which was good, although Father Farwell had a few scratches along with the others- but mainly everyone was alright.
“ I saw him go below…” Koger spoke, coming forth with his bloody double swords, and I gazed at him and nodded.
“I don’t know what messed up idea he has this time… but I’m gonna go after him. I saved his butt before… and I believe I should probably have to save his butt again.” I smiled, as I gazed to Liven, Father Farwell and the other dampiel hunter.
“ I’m gonna follow him, you four stay here. As soon as I find out the intentions of my brother I’ll come back… “
“I will go with you- the sewers are a dangerous place and you’ll need some one accustomed to all environments Ms. Gyvien.”
I gazed to Koger as he smiled again, and shook my head.
“ Alright… fine, come with. The rest of you… stay here for now. We need some one to stay her incase anyone comes back… and by nightfall Yuar should be returning.”

With that Koger and I quickly escaped into one of the other rooms to find an opening into the sewers…
“Oh, yes… lovely, this just smells wonderful.” I sighed, and Koger grinned.
“Isn’t it though?”

~~~~Myra Link~~~~
The Homebound
:::????:::

There were 329 tiny imperfections in the square foot of titanium siding right in front of me.
For the longest time after we arrived back at the ship I just stared at the walls, fuming at myself, Lantis and the situation. The scene before dawn kept playing back over and over again in my head, Rudys angry determined face willing me not to go, Lantis's slight sneer as he eyed Rudy, the tense moment when I thought for sure it was all over.......and then......
How was it possible..? Against all odds Lantis hadnt killed Rudy, it seemed that my ruse had worked, that he had believed me.
Suddenly as Lantis began to speak I saw that it wasnt the case. "Well Little Myra, you seem awfully upset. Is something the matter?" With a sinking feeling in my heart I shook my head, not looking at him. "No, Im fine."
As if I hadnt spoke he went on. "Is it because you had to leave your Changed human behind? You should never get that attached to a pet, Myra dear......" He sidled up to where he was right behind me, causing me to stand up so he wouldnt brush up against me. He leaned forward and placed one hand against the wall next to my head, his face inches from mine, and then he sneered again. "Unless of course, he WASNT a human you have Changed.....but that would mean that you LIED to me......and you wouldnt do that.....would you?" He smiled almost fatherly for a brief moment before the smirk took over again. "Oh," he said, seemingly just noticing the ring on my finger, "And what is this? Its very lovely Myra, you MUST tell me where you got it..." He brought my hand up, fingering the ring on it for a moment before trying to slip it off. Startled I clenched my hand into a fist and drew it against me, turning my head away from Lantis's hypnotic gaze. "I.....I found it so I took it....." My lie sounded feeble even to my ears, but I felt as though I couldnt think straight. Like a dark fog was veiling my thoughts, making it difficult to concentrate. "It....its not important......"
I felt rather than saw Lantis's disappointment in my feeble lies. He put his other hand on the wall and I found myself involuntarily staring into his blue eyes. He was pinning me to the wall with his gaze, and I was unable to look away. Then, slowly and directly, he began to speak, in a voice that was devoid of the false cheerfulness it usually had.

"The blue-haired boy is a Summers, isnt he?"

I felt my throat tighten up as my eyes widened in fear. How did he know?! Suddenly I heard myself beginning to speak, though the words came with no direction from me. My voice sounded very far away as I whispered, "Y......." Suddenly I froze. What had I almost said?! I almost betrayed Rudy to the enemy! But, still looking into Lantis's eyes, I knew that it was not my doing. Somehow he had powers I couldnt comprehend, powers that only come to aristocrats through millenia of murder and evil. Powers that were terrifyingly difficult to resist.
Though I stopped before I could finish, Lantis had heard enough. Smiling almost kindly he straightened up and put a gentle hand on my cheek. "As I thought. You see Myra, it wouldve been so much easier if you hadnt lied to me. Lyings bad, you know." Recovering from the shock of his power I felt anger well up inside me, and I pushed his hand away. "What do you know about it? You, the one whose lied to me ever since I was a child?!" As soon as the words left my mouth I realised I had made a mistake. Once realising I knew I had been lied to, Lantis wouldnt think twice about killing me. If Im not with him, Im against him...... The thought echoed from my childhood.
To my surprise Lantis merely smiled. "You have grown up so much and yet you are still very much a child....." He started to walk around the room, his voice resonating through the hull of the ship as he spoke. "Try existing for hundreds of years under the boot of an inferior species. Having to eke out a pitiful living in the shadows of creatures fit only for consumption. Having to hide from those whom it is the birthright for you to rule! Well," His voice quieted slightly as he quickly grabbed me under the chin and looked into my defiant eyes. "I will not snatch my meals and scurry about like a filthy rodent anymore. We, the Aristocrats, are meant to rule the humans, the night, and this planet! And tonight...." He trailed off as he released my face, deep within his own thoughts of grandeur. "Tonight is a very special night; the Dawn of the Blood Moon. Tonight all TRUE Aristocrats will rise up and destroy those who would oppose the ways of Nature. Tonight," He turned his amused gaze to me once again and smiled, "Your precious 'Summers' will die at your hands, proving you are an Aristocrat."
My eyes widened as I heard that. I felt Lantis's will pressing down on me, trying to weedle into my thoughts and take over my life. I had had to go with him, had to lie, had to listen to his propaganda, but THIS was something I would NOT do. I felt that I would rather die than do anything to hurt Rudy. All the fury and stress in me exploded outward, and without thinking I charged at Lantis. "NO! You cant control me anym-----!"
Before I could finish, Lantis's eyes glowed, and suddenly I was thrown against the far wall of the ship, cracking my head sharply and sending me into a confused daze. I hovered in mid-air, unable to think or move let alone do anything, and before unconsiousness claimed me, I heard him speak once more.
"Tonight, Myra......"

[Bulbasaur4]

I really would like to post but... well, my head is going to burst and I feel like I'm about to fall over. I just wanted to post Vylianne's form so you guys coudl perhaps work with that. I trust yea enough Rudy to post with just knowing her form. ^^ I think I've described her to you a bit on MSN before... ^^


Name: Vylianne
Gender: Female
Age: Unknown, her body appears to be in the twenties.
Species: Vampire
Personality: She's sly, cunning and an extremely smooth talker. She's got an aloof personality on the outside, which often makes people at ease with her but she's very sly. She's got arrogance about herself, and she's not afraid to use any sort of means to get what she wants. She's proud, a bit arrogant and bold but she's certainly not overly-boastful or never under estimates her enemies. She's very intelligent... which makes her extremely deadly. She's not about to make rash decisions before analyzing her potential...
Appearance: (Check that one post with Yuar... I already supplied a description and pic when she first was introduced.)
Side: She doesn't really claim to have a side. She knows that she hates humans, hates dampiels... She thinks human/dampiel-loving vampires are weak traitors. The only species she really has no problem with are the mutants in the world, but she doesn't give them any special treatment however. Other vampires are fine with her, as long as they don't rub her the wrong way.
Weapon: She has a wide, vast array of weaponry... her favorite weapon however is herself. She's one of the most agile, hand-to-hand vampires you'll meet, and she's even better with her kicking techniques. But of course, she has a pair of twin daggers and a short sword. Her short sword is elaborately made in a black, jaded-material which seems as crystallic as diamond. Etched into the black stone is silver-embroidered symbols of ancient Vampiric markings. The handle of this sword is also made in silver, shaped into a fearsome dragon-like shape.
History: She won't tell you her history unless you happened to get on her extremely good side, which is on the outmost high part of unlikely. What is known about her, is that she is far older than her appearance of course, and she's a strong vampire of ancient proportions. She is rumored to be some how have some connections with Lantis… but it is unknown whether it is business terms or some other terms, and some of the other elder vampires. She knows of Yuar Oro, and they have some secret 'thing' between them which isn't a loving relationship by far... and she also has heard of Rudy Summer's father, and infact knows quite a deal about Rudy's father.... perhaps more then most should know. Other then that, the rest is a mystery.
Relations: Enemy of Yuar Oro currently, unknown as far as others go.
Other: *killz*

[Master Rudy]

I don't have much time left tonight so this might not be very long.

Rudy Summers
10:30 AM
------
After spending nearly a half hour in the sewers I figured it was time to face the facts. I was lost and I had no idea where my attacker had gone. As good as my eyesight was in the dark even I was having trouble seeing down here. There was no doubt in my mind that it would have been pitch black to a normal human. My attacker seemed to know this area well and only after a few minutes had managed to give me the slip. Now I was struggling just to make my way back to the inn. I wasn't expecting so many twists and turns in these sewers.

After about another ten minutes of trying to walk around I managed to pick something up. Nearby I could smell a tiny bit of blood in the air. Thinking I had finally managed to pick up the trail again I started to quickly make my way towards to area it was coming from. However once I got closer I noticed something. The blood that I could smell wasn't my attacker. It was my own. Apparently I had just gone around in a circle. Feeling defeated I just spoke out loud to myself. "If I only knew where Lantis was then I wouldn't have to be down here tracking my only lead." If my heart had been beating I might have nearly had a heart attack from the sudden shock of knowing I wasn't alone down there.

"If you looking for him then stop following that girl. She isn't going to lead you anywhere near him."

Turning around I saw a young woman leaning up against a wall wearing only black shorts and an orange bikini top. Had it not been for the fact that we were in the middle of a sewer I wouldn't have been so suspisious of her. I was about to ask her what she was talking about when she suddenly stepped a bit closer. At the moment she didn't seem to be armed but that sometimes didn't mean anything. However she showed no violent intentions as she seemed to be look me over. Finally she said "If your hair was a bit longer and a shade or two darker then I think you'd look just like your father." This was the second shock and I was sure that she could see that I wanted answers. However rather that say anything she simply smiled revealing a set of fangs. That took care of one question but I already had a feeling she wasn't human. No human in their right mind would be traveling around in the sewers. Suddenly with no warning she started to walk away. Despite my common sense telling me not to follow her I did so anyway. Now I had too many questions for her. She claimed that the assassin would not lead me to Lantis. Did she really have an idea of where the hell he was? Also how did she know my father? As we walked I finally asked "Who are you?" Looking over at me she just smiled again and said in a mysterious tone "Wouldn't you like to know?" Now I was even more confused. However I just kept following in the hopes she would simply tell me. Even if she didn't one way or another I was going to get my answers......

Not my greatest post but I didn't have much time to begin with. Hopefully I didn't have Vy too OOC. There's just something about her that makes me think she would be the mysterious type.

Ooo... fonty-colourz ruuuule!



Vylianne - F - VAmpire
***

Smirking, Vylianne kept walking as Rudy followed her. She knew there were doubts in his mind... but of course, he was a Summers. They had too much curiousity for their own good... and smirking she turned around to Rudy and he stopped again, his face completely blank and full of confusion. Silence filled the air... as both of them didn't know how to respond to each other's presense. Vylianne already knew her intentions, as she smirked and took a few steps closer to Rudy. He didn't take a step back however... as she held her transfixed gaze upon him with her ever witty smile.
" Yes... you definatly remind me of your father, pitty that you have some of your mother in you.... you would have been far more deadly otherwise."

Rudy seemed shocked yet again... but Vylianne turned around as Rudy again pestered.
"Why can't you tell me how you know my father? And do you know Lantis? Are you one of his minions..-"
Before he could further continue however, Vylianne let loose a laugh.
" A minion? Nice choice of words there Summers... but I'm sorry to disappoint you but, I don't work for anyone. I work for myself... "

Vylianne tucked a strand of loose, slightly red-auburn, golden-streaked hair behind her ear. Grinning yet again... she continued.
" Of course, I'm not one to turn down some money. Some times I do little odd jobs here and there to make ends meet. Of course, I dont' work for just anyone. Vamps with money... and a good reputation, now those are the types I might be into an alliance with... but never work for."

Vylianne then turned and kept walking... as Rudy followed again, the darkness of the sewers seemed to get thicker. Rudy's pace suddenly quickened as he suddenly passed Vylianne, and she stopped to watch the young Vampire turn to face her.
" Look... I don't know your name, and I do n't know what you... why you've come to pester me, but at least you can save some of the talk to tell me what I need to kn-"
Vylianne held up her hand and gently brushed a delicate finger to Rudy's lips with a swift, suddenly movement. Rudy backed away... in shock by how fast she moved to go forward to silence him, as a slow smile spread across her lips.

"Rudy Rudy... patience is a virtue, surely you have learned that by now. I will tell you ... in time."

Vylianne saw Rudy flinching towards some thing... and she smirked agian.
"And don't think about trying to talk me into telling you... I've met many vampires, but using force by any means will not make me tell if you could ever get me under the blade of a knife. Besides.. I'm unarmed. What use is a Vampire if she is unarmed?"
She smiled again, but some thing unsettling was how she said 'what use'... but she continued to walk as she brushed pass Rudy.
" You are not ready to learn much about your father... besides, I haven't decided if I want to tell you anyway."

She then flickered her gaze back to Rudy...
"Remember Rudy, I do what I want to do and I give information only when I want to give information. BUt it is all for good... all for good..."
Her voice trailed off, as they continued to walk in the darkness. Her footsteps were barely heard... and it was like she was walking upon air as she continued to walk.
" But Lantis... ahh yes, have quite a score with Lantis eh? He's got your girl... and you won't stand for it. Admirable... I think, if it all wasn't in vain."

Rudy stopped short, as he whispered..
"Wh-what do you mean?"
Vylianne stopped, gazing back as she smiled.
"Poor Rudy... your foolish mind really doesn't know very much, does it? I suppose your young... and with out any guidance, I suppose it was tough for you. I guess lack of knowledge is excusable... but I ask you Rudy- What is worth more to you- family or the one you love?"

Rudy thought about it... and as he was about to open his mouth, Vylianne shook her head.
"Don't answer... think about it. You've been following a person who has no connections with LAntis... she works for some one even greater than Lantis would ever amount too. Lantis is far smarter then to send any of his ... what did you call them, oh yes.. minions back here to attack. But as soon as night falls... you better watch your step because Lantis is ready to leave this place- earth. But he might encounter some trouble if you arrive... but there will be more trouble even after he may fade. The night of when the moon decides your fate is near... and Vampires which have not tasted blood will be tested, those who have will be stronger... and the dampiels will have to choose their fate. "

Vylianne smirked as she continued to walk...
" Quickly Rudy, I sense two of your companions are near. If you have any last questions... I suggest you ask them now, unless you are too afraid to find out any more... which I would suggest to be wise by any rate."


(Alright... Leave it up ta yah! When Koger and Gyvien get there though, Vylianne will have disappeared above with out a trace. ^^; )

[Master Rudy]

Rudy Summers
10:45 AM
------
My confusion at the current situation only grew with each passing moment. While I didn't entirely trust this vampire I didn't have much choice at the moment. Besides as she pointed out herself she was unarmed. Unless I had a good reason to do so I wouldn't use force against anyone without a weapon. Plus despite the fact that she wasn't being 100% clear about things she was helping me out a bit with the little imfomation that she was giving to me.

Once she said two of my friends were getting close I became a bit unsure of if she was right or not. At the moment I wasn't able to sense anything. I didn't even need to ask her about it because she seemed to know I had doubts. As we kept on walking she said "If I'm not mistaken your not even 20 yet. For a human that would be a young adult. However as a vampire your still just a child. When your my age your senses will be just as sharp." Once again I was curious about who she was but by this point she was expecting it and just kept on talking. "Don't even think of asking me Rudy. Besides it's rude to ask a girl her age."

With yet another smirk she kept on walking along. However I needed to know something. Getting in front of her I stopped her. Even if she wouldn't give me answers about other things there was one thing I needed to know. Looking her right in the eyes I said "What exactly is going to happen tonight? This is the second time in less than an hour that someone has mentioned it. You've already said some things about me being put to the test while others would become stronger." As we stood there she just kept on looking at me without saying a word. With a sigh I tried one last time. "I don't know who you are but this is something I must know. Can you please tell me?" Once again smiling she said "Since you asked me kindly I'll tell you. However you must answer one of my questions first." Leaning close to my ear as if it were some kind of secret she asked me "Are you afraid to die Rudy?" I wasn't quite expecting a question like that but I answered her with what I believe to be a truthful answer. Shaking my head I said "If I have to die in order to save Myra and put an end to Lantis then I'd gladly do it." With a low laugh she said "That may be what you want to believe. However deep down you know it's not true. You may be willing to do anything to save her but in the end if it came down to your life or hers I think you would choose your own."

That response angered me to no end. Even so I kept my cool. I was about to let her know what I thought of her answer when she gently placed her hand over my mouth. After a moment she pulled it away and started to speak once more. "I'm not saying you wouldn't try your hardest. However the one thing most vampires won't admit is that they have a fear of death. Humans may fear it as well but they know it's coming and can't be avoided. As for us we're immortal but that doesn't mean we also can't die. I'm sure you've seen that look of fear before on the fact of any vampire that was dying slowly or had a feeling they would not be able to live much longer. The knowledge that everything is suddenly going to come to an end is a bit much for some." While I wasn't going to show it to her I knew she was right. I was thinking back to the incident in the bar with the hunters. For a brief moment I had known what fear really was.

As she turned away from me I started to wonder if she would lead me around again with strange answers or finally get down to business and tell me what was really going on. However I soon got my answer as she looked back at me. "Think of tonight as a night that will seperate the weak from the strong. Those that have never tasted blood such as you will become about as weak as a human. In addition to that it will be next to impossible for you to look at a human without sinking your fangs into them. One of two things will happen to you Rudy. Either you will eventually give in and feed for the first time or you'll die. It's as simple as that." I took a moment to let that sink in. Once I believed I understood what was going to happen I said to her in a worried voice "So your saying that unless I feed tonight I'm not going to live?" Once she shook her head I knew I was wrong as she took a moment to explain it a bit more. "I never said you had to drink blood. However you might want to get over the fact that you don't like to harm humans. Not drinking blood won't be what kills you. Some vampires such as Lantis will be taking the time to kill off those that continue to resist. You may have a strong will and despite the increased urge to kill still be able to overcome it. However a strong will isn't going to do you much good when you have a mob of vampires that want to put an end to you. In your weakened state you wouldn't last very long."

I was about to jump in to say something when once again she stopped me. It was getting a bit annoying but I decided to let her keep going. Once more she showed that she knew me well and had an idea of what I would say. "I know what your thinking so keep this in mind. Even if by some stroke of luck you manage to beat the odds and live long enough to regain your powers at sunrise you will be presented with another problem. I've noticed that you've followed in your father's footsteps and became a hunter. Do you honestly think you can go back to that when your friends will be among those that you have to kill?" For the first time since the mystery vampire became serious I was confused. "What do you mean by friends? If you know me as well as you seem to then I think you'd know I don't have many friends. The few that I do have are humans or dampiels." Nodding she seemed to understand that. "Maybe your right. But then what about Myra?" That next question caught me off guard. I wasn't quite sure how to respond to that one. Looking me in the eyes with another serious look she said "I know what this night can do to someone. I've seen some of the most peaceful vampires around give in and do the one thing they have never dreamed of doing. If she doesn't get killed then she will surely have no choice but to feed. Would you really kill Myra because she had harmed a human?" I didn't have to answer. We both knew what I would say. Despite everything I believed about putting an end to vampires that had fed from humans I knew I couldn't do anything to Myra if she had gave in to her instincts and tasted blood.

With a sigh I looked at my mysterious informant. There weren't any doubts in my mind that she had lived through this night at least once before. However that also would mean if what she was saying was true that she would have had to drink from humans. Drawing my katana I just looked at it and then at her. Crossing her arms she said "So you finally figured it out? I know what your dad was like so I know you pretty well too. If you needed a reason to kill someone unarmed then go ahead. It isn't like I can stop you anyway." As much as I wanted to do so I just put my weapon away. Maybe there truly was no way to make it through the night without giving in. All this new infomation got me thinking about all the battles I had been in and it raised some new questions. I had no doubts about some of the vampires that were clearly evil such as Oyar. They killed humans just for the hell of it. However how many of the vampires that I had killed actually started off innocent? How many of them were like me at one point? Finally there were some humans that were left alive after vampire attacks. How many of the vampires that I had killed were only trying to take only enough blood so that they would not have to kill anyone?

With those questions on my mind I just looked at the female vampire. With a new found seriousness that I didn't think I had I said "Perhaps we can't avoid destiny. Maybe vampires really are destined to feed off the humans. Whatever the case may be I can promise you one things. Win or lose I will be fighting my final battle tonight. If what your saying is true then after tonight I don't think I have a right as a vampire to hunt my own kind in order to protect humans." She seemed to understand what I was saying and finally provided the infomation I wanted. "If your going to fight Lantis your going to need to look for the ship he came to Earth in. Being only his second day here I highly doubt he would have found a place to stay for a long period of time. However I don't know where it is. I wish I could tell you more but I can't. Your just going to need to hope you get lucky and find it on your own." Nodding I said "It's better than nothing I suppose."

Just as she started to walk away I stopped her one last time. "Before you do go I would like to know one thing. How do you know my father?" With a slight smile she said "I can't tell you that now but I will tell you this. If you live past tonight and by some stroke of luck manage to beat Lantis then we will meet again. By that point I will tell you about him but only if you want to know. If I tell you now it will only reveal things about your past that I sure he hoped you would never learn. In the end telling you now would only cause you to get yourself killed." Suddenly with no warning she jumped into the air and was gone. It was as if she was never there. Just then she said one last thing:

"Don't feel hopeless about tonight if you really don't want to harm any humans. I always had a feeling that if anyone would beat the odds it would be either you or your father. However as one last warning you have to remember what I said earlier. Is it your family or the one you love that matters most? In the end you can't save everyone.

Her voice seemed to come from all around me and I couldn't pinpoint where she was. I felt slightly relieved over the fact that I might not have to give in after all but her final words chilled me. I knew exactly what she was saying. I already had to worry about Myra but now it seemed something would happen to Gyvien as well. There was no way I could choose one over the other. Gyvien was the last of my family while Myra was the girl I loved. Losing either of them was something I was not ready to face. At that moment out of the shadows I saw Koger and Gyvien coming towards me. It was as if fate had just played a cruel joke on me. Looking at them they could see I was troubled over pretty much everything that I had learned. However I just couldn't tell them. Walking past them I said "Just help me back to the inn. I've got too much on my mind at the moment and I need some rest." Thankfully they didn't ask questions. Even if they did ask questions I wouldn't have known where to start. There were just too many new things I just learned and some of it still didn't make any sense. The only thing I knew was that the longest night of my life would be starting in about seven hours......

Can someone get this guy an anti-depressent? ^_^;
lol

Despite some of the things that were said don't think for one moment Rudy's battle with Lantis will be the last one he ever has. After all I think it would get boring if following that battle he did nothing but sit on his @ss and sulk. Anyway seeing that the battle at the inn is over do you guys think we can wrap things up and fast forward a few hours so that we can get to the real action?

[Asilynne]

OOC: I agree. I think its time the Dawn of the Blood Moon began lol ^-~ Since the snow has cancelled school yet again Ill post sometime tomorrow, but for right now Im really sleepy so Im going to bed. In the meantime the next person who posts (if its not me) set the time at around 6-6:15PM ^-^

Yuar Oro - M - Vampire
***

The sun was down and I was set... taking my dark black sunglasses upon my face, I slowly brushed my auburn hair out of my eyes. Before me was some thing I had purchased not to long ago... and it still shinned a firey red, just to support the truth of how fast and daring it really was. It was a sports motorcycle... an invention of humans which I came to truely adore and like. Firey red was it's shiny color... and it's sleek design often reminded me of a predator, very agile and leathal all the same.
"Don't want to be late..."
I thought, as I got upon the bike but as I sat there I suddenly stopped. Gazing upwards I saw the moon... clouds just drifting away from it and exposing it in its full glow, which surprised me to say the least. I felt power flow through my veigns... which completely surprised me. My blood burned... I felt far more superior in my fighting abilities than ever before. It was a strange feeling... and the words of Vylianne still lingered in my mind.

I felt like my muscles were toughter and far mor tense... I felt like my eye sight was even greater and keener than before, along with my ears. I could hear the noises of the streets far better than before... and see things which probably could have illuded me with out my vampiric sense. Even that was heightened as well... WAs this what Vylianne meant? Did she foresee this?
Perhaps... this is the truth... a new moon, a new power. But what about... Rudy and ... myra! Gyvien!

If this affected me in this way... what about a Dampiel with Vampiric blood in them? And Vampirs who have not tasted blood like Rudy? What if some thing horrible happens to t hem... and it very well could be occuring now. And Lantis... surely he was growing stronger as well.
But I am stronger and he will die for the crimes he has committeD! Anyone who stands in my way will also follow th same fate as he..

I blinked a few times, standing there over my bike with a bewildered gaze. Some thing else was happening... not only was I stronger, but my rage was greater along with my temperment.
I'll have to use my willpower to keep it under control... no use doing some thing I'd regret.

With that I started my sports motorcycle and instantly took off. The speed and surprising juice inside the power of the two-wheeler was amazing... and I took off swiftly. My hair rippled wildly in the wind as my jacket also fluctuated wildly. My sunglasses kept the wind from hitting my eyes too bad... I lowered my body to the motocycle farther so to gain more speed. Down the middle of the streets I went... and the scene amazed me. Only 15 minutes past six and already horrible things were taking place. I saw several figures in the dark which were obviously VAmpires... smashing windows, humans screaming as they became victims... some even gazed at me, but left me alone. Perhaps my Vampiric aura sent them a signal to stay the heck away..

Some dampiels were seen as well, and I almost hit one as I quickly dodged and my tires squeeled instantly. Turning one last look back I saw that the Dampiel seemed weak... and pleeing for forgiveness as a Vampire started to go after it... blood thirst in his eyes. I looked away...
Why don't you help?! A part of me cried...
No, I must hurry back to the others so we can go after Lantis. I must kill him- at all costs.
But-
I cut off my other side of my thought and continued to wheel down the street until suddenly I came to the hotel where we were staying. No vampires were near... yet..

I quickly hopped off my bike, took the keys out and instantly tried to open the door but strangely it was locked. Feeling a little aggitated I quickly took my foot and with a swift double kick I barged it down rather easily. Upon t he other side I saw two pairs of eyes gazing at me bewildered... well one bewildered and the other rather menacing. Rudy and Gyvien.

Rudy had his swords ready... but he eased when he saw it was be, but pointing at the door I saw what probably made him a bit weary. The door had been bolted shut... before it would have taken me quite a while to try to push it down, since locks were armed several times at each corner. But I had taken down effortlessly with a swift kick... which surprised me as well.
"Guess I didn't know my own strength..." I smiled a toothy grin, and Rudy seemed to shiver at it. I was a bit confused... but Gyvien still held her gun up, aimed at my head.
"Gyvien... you can put down your gun." I said, and Gyvien swallowed hard as she slowly began to lower it... slowly.. and then suddenlly she put it away.
"whatever.."

She then disappeared into another room. I shrugged and looked to RUdy..
"Some thign tells me this night is going to be a bit different. So what's the plan... I say we haul our butts out of here and go after LAntis now.. I heard what happened to Myra."

Rudy was shocked..
"How.. .how did.."
I held up my hand swiftly..
"Never mind that, word travels quick when you aren't looking for it."

6:20 PM

Once I saw that it was Yuar who came charging in I calmed down a bit. The sun had not even been down for ten minutes yet and I was already starting to feel the effects that this night would have on me. Several hours ago I was my normal self but now I was having doubts about how useful I'd be. Once I had returned from the sewers I explained to everyone what exactly was going to happen. We knew what to expect but I didn't think it would be this bad. Upon seeing Gyvien, Wynder and Liven I had felt the biggest urge to bite one of them. While I kept myself under very good control I just couldn't believe I was even thinking of doing such a thing to one of them. As least I could be thankful that the innkeeper and his daughter left the place to us and went somewhere safer once they heard about what would happen. I was afraid I'd lose all control had they still been around. At the moment I believed the only reason why I already hadn't broken down was the fact that Gyvien and the others were all part vampire. For now I just decided to try and keep what I was thinking to myself. I didn't think I would go after them but if they knew it had crossed my mind then someone might become worried about me turning on them.

Looking at Yuar I said "As dangerous as it is we can't stay here much longer. We've already been attacked this morning." He seemed shocked at this new infomation and didn't seem sure about what to think. "This morning? Were they vampire hunters?" Shaking my head I explained about the hidden entrance to the inn and the battle that followed. "At first I assumed they worked for Lantis. However I ran into a vampire in the sewer that said otherwise. Normally I don't like taking the work of strangers but I had my reasons for listening to her." Despite how serious the current situation was I chuckled a bit as I started to describe her to him. "I think you would have gotten a kick out of her outfit Yuar. First time I've ever seen a vampire wearing a bikini. Most of the female vamps tend to go for a da....." Once I saw the look on Yuar's face I stopped. Feeling a bit concerned I asked him if anything was wrong. He told me there wasn't but I could sense he was hiding something. I didn't say anything but I had a feeling that somehow he knew who I was talking about.

Pretty soon we were rejoined by Gyvien but something didn't seem right. She normally didn't have the best attitude in the world but I never remembered seeing such a cold look on her face before. However Yuar's next question brought me back to the situation at hand. "So any ideas for where we can go?" All I could do was shake my head. We really didn't have much time to plan this out. However I had my own plans. By this point the entire group was around me so I decided to make my plans known. Taking one last moment to make sure I had all my weapons this time I said "For now you guys can stay here if you want. In the meantime I've got my own plans. I've got a small lead on where Lantis might be and I'd like to try and see if there is someone who might know more." I made an attempt to leave but Koger stopped me. "Excuse me my pale friend but your not exactly in the shape to be out there right now." As much as I didn't like to admit it Koger was right. Not really sure what to do I decided to sit down for a moment. When I got near Liven however my instincts were starting to kick in again. While walking towards a chair I eyed her neck for a moment before snapping out of it. This time there was no hiding it. Only a blind man would have missed what I just did. After that I wasn't going to waste my time explaining myself. We all knew it was somewhat beyond my control. Acting as if nothing happened I just looked at each of them and asked with a bit of a nervous tone "So....uhhh....does anyone have any ideas?"
------

Just so you guys know Rudy will be fine for now but he'll slowly get worse as the night goes on. I wouldn't mind if anyone had him snap and has a brief battle with him if he lost all control for a few moments. Just keep in mind that I do not want him tasting blood if any of you guys do that ^_~

ooc: wow look at all i missed!!!! Sorry i wasnt here for a while!

Liven Dinas

I was sitting down on one of the benches in the lobby room. I was remembering last night how my best friend was turned. It made me sad and a little sick how such a holy man could become a damned creature of the night. I looked sadly in his direction and sighed a little. After my first drink of blood i felt some of my vampiric side sorta weaken. I squinted alittle and looked up at Rudy. I noticed how he had glanced at my neck as if going to bite and felt alittle uneasy. Standing up i said," Rudy...ill go and look for Lantis...After all, i was born to be a vampire hunter. All i need is someone to go along with me...because i..." i stopped for a moment looking down at my feet. "I think...i lost some of my vampire side...." i looked back up at him waiting for an answer. Just then Farwell stood up and went to my side. Putting a hand on my shoulder he said," My child, i shall go along with you....we also have to find Skylar and tell him about Lantis, he could get hurt if he stumbles across him."
I turned towards the Father and nodded, "Right...lets go Father Farwell." I said getting my sword that was leaning on the bench, and strapped it on my back. I buckled my two guns on my hips and walked towards the door and turned. "We'll be back....That vampire is going DOWN!" i said and ran out the door. Farwell behind. "God protect you all!" He said leaving the room.
We were walking through the dark streets of the town, thats when i really noticed just how weak my senses got. I could hardly see in the darkness like i used to. I watched my feet as i walked thinking about Lantis and wondering just how strong he could be and if i could. Sensing eyes on me i looked up and noticed figures staring in my direction. Moving closer to Farwell i almost tripped over somthing, looking down i saw that it was a human sucked dry. I gasped at the dried person as its dead eyes looked back with glazed eyes. It felt like the end for mankind, it felt like what my Father thought he stopped was all coming back.
We walked on, on the search for Skylar and that Vampire Lantis.....

ooc: heres somthing i missed!

Roland

Still on the hunt for my Brother, i heard my master calling for me to stop my pursuit and return. I stopped in the middle of the road and folded my arms. "What have i gone down to? The great Roland being a servaint? Having a Master?? No....never." I spoke to the darkness. Turning back towards the direction my master was in i walked back. As i was walking past a few housing areas, i had noticed a large mass of vampires walking in my direction. I heard them talking amongst themselves, "Ha haa! theres just so much to eat here! the humans are like cattle! (mumble mumble) So how many did you get? (laugh snicker). I laughed to myself, it seems these vampires were new to the killing habit. "lets put them to the test!" i said to myself as i aprouched the gaggling group. As i past one of the vampires on the left side of the road, i made a point to bump into one. "Hey man!!! what the f*ck was that for you damn punk!" the boy (about 18 or 20) yelled, and pushed one of my shoulders atempting to knock me down. Hearing the boy curse at me, the group formed a circle and watched waiting to see who would win this little war. I looked at the boy and said in a shaky tone, " Oh im so sorry! I didnt mean to bump into you gentlman! Im just so frightened with all these vampires killing people left and right!!!"
The boy laughed and said," Well old man your not safe anywhere we're taking back this world! So why dont you make this easy on you and me and hold still!" The boy took a step closer to me i stood my ground and smirked letting one tooth bite down alittle on my lower lip. I then bite down hard making my lip bleed. " Oh! Im not safe anywhere? Maybe you should be saying your not safe anywhere! Your no match for a real vampire of the night!! You could hardly even call yourself a vampire!!!" I laughed a bit insanely. The group went silent as they watched the blood drop from my lip and onto the already stained street. Before any of them could speak or blink my hand was clinched around his neck and squeezing the life from him. I could feel my hand tighten to the boys neck bone, i then felt it snap and crack. Letting him fall to the ground dead the group members started to back away. "Whats the matter? Im just a scared little Priest against 5 powerful vampires! why are you backing up? "I questioned with a pleased grin. They started to run as i strolled after them laughing at them. Getting bored i ran after them and quickly killed the remaining 5.
After licking my stained gloved hand i made my why to a dark corner of the street where my master sat on a empty dumpster. She was fiddling with her weapon until she noticed i was standing watching her. She put her weapon down and walked up to me. "Well what took you so long Roland? Get in any trouble with the vampires? " she asked in an uncaring tone of voice. She was talking to me as if i were a worthless human.....i grew angre. "No....but i do have somthing to say to you ...master...Its time we had a change in plans about this whole master servaint thing." I walked slowly next to the dumpster, my priest robes blew in the wind. I pretended to play with her weapon by tapping on it, playing a little toon. "Yes what is it?" she asked a little curious. "Im a bit bored of the whole idea....." i said as i clinched her weapon in my hand and quickly put it around her throat. "Haha! well now! Looks like im the master now i see if you die or live!" I laughed. just as i did she had an arm around my neck and was choking me. " You still think like a Human Roland! Didnt anyone tell you that you cant kill a vampire by her own weapon!?" she laughed in my ear.
I struggled to get her arm alittle looser, as i struggled i managed to get my mouth near enough so that i could bite her. As she pulled away from me i managed to rip a chunk of skin from her arm. Spitting out the bloody chunk, i took out my sowrd and kicked her down onto the cold street. "See you in Hell!!!" i yelled slicing a clear cut, cutting off her head.
Her head rolled under the dumpster, a couple of stray cats folowing. "Hahah.....Be..seeing you! Oh wait no...not really! HAhahahah! " I laughed putting my sword back into its sheath. "Now to find that boy Skylar!" I disapeared into the night.

Wow longest post i think that ive done! pretty good...but i think i scared myself on this one.......

[pokemasterfrank]

Sometime...before night time...

The...the light...its so bright.

The sun seemed to glare at me, looking down, burning me like fire. It seemed to want me to perish. I straggled around in the alleyways, ducking under the shadows, but still, the light burned, blinding me. I fell to the ground, the heat getting to me. I began to crawl, crawl on the ground like a small bug, suffering. I stuggled to get myself back up, using a dumpster for support. I opened the lid, and crawled inside...

This should keep me safe until dark...
----------
Ugh...too short...but I'm short of ideas. Somebody find me? lol

[Asilynne]

Brace yourself guys, My writers block is gone! lol
Warning, this is gonna be quite bloody/violent eheh...^-^()

Lantis smiles to himself, as he surveyes the blood-tinted streets of Wood Water City. He knew that the Blood Moon would be rising tonight, he had planned it, planned it for multiple centuries, even before that night of his Big Mistake. Though he would not admit to himself he EVER made any mistakes, it was just something that he had yet to fix.
And now that the connections had been made, and his long, yearning thirst for the blood of humans had been satisfied the night before, he could begin to put his plan into action, he could begin the liberation of the Night and return it to the hands of the Aristocracy. But all was not complete. It seemed his little consort had neglected to feed the night before. He thought for sure she wouldve been tempted at least once during the night, and since she had not developed any resistance to the urge to feed it shouldve been guarunteed that she would drink. Somehow this was not the case.
Well, it was not too late for her. This night was the Night when those who had fed did not need to, and for those who hadnt it was only a matter of time. And if still she didnt, well, this night one of two things would happen.
All those who refuse to feed and join the ranks of the Aristocrats would just be in the way of the new World Order. Such vampires were monstrositys, vampires that wish not to feed were unnatural creatures and should not exist.

Tonight the choice was Myra's:
She would either feed, or die.


~~~~Myra Link~~~~
Wood Water City
:::Anywhere from 6-6:30PM:::
When I was once again consious of what was around me, the day had passed and it was once again night. Though, upon stepping out of the ship, I saw and felt that this night was indeed different than the night before. It seemed like Earth was a completely different place than it was last night, it felt darker, as if the Night itself was eagerly awaiting something. But the Night wasnt the only thing that felt different.

I, too, felt something inside me trying to change.

It felt like something deep within me was trying to come to the surface, something that was intoxicating, something that made me feel alive but at the same time repulsed me more than anything else.
It was the unmistakable urge to feed.
I didnt understand, there was no blood anywhere near me, nor could I smell any in the air. Yet I felt just as I did last night in the bar, with the blood of the hunters and Roland heavy in the air, feeling that it could be so easy, so deliciously easy to sink my fangs in their necks and taste that which I was yearning for now, to drink my fill of the delightfully warm liquid of life-------
Why am I thinking these things?!? I jerked myself out of that line of thought with horror. I couldnt believe what I had been thinking about just then, if a human was in the vicinity a few moments before then I wouldnt have been able to resist biting them and tasting blood. And it wasnt as if it were just my instincts, my consious thoughts would have had no qualms about doing it either. What is happening to me?!

Lantis seemed to know what I had been thinking. "Ah, my Little Myra, you are hungry, I see? You shouldve fed last night, if you had you would be a true Aristocrat now. But dont worry little one, it is not too late..." As if right on cue I heard the sounds of feet hitting the streets of Wood Water. It was the sound of Vampire Hunters, there were at least ten, maybe more. I suddenly felt scared, though I was not worried about my own safety. Those idiot Vampire Hunters had no idea that they were only running towards their own sure death. Though there were many of them I knew that they were no match for a Vampire like Lantis. And I guess I WAS a little worried about myself, though not about being killed. I was worried that I would lose control and Feed.
If I was thinking about draining a human before when none were around then I had no idea what would happen if they were actually in front of me. And if they bled....
It was almost a certainty that they would bleed, with Lantis there. Lantis had no patience with those he deemed 'food', he did not believe in leaving people alone if they werent bothering him and he did NOT ever try talking his way out. He would kill these hunters whether they posed a threat or not. And, faced with so many dead, bleeding humans, I didnt see how I could resist becoming a monstor like Lantis, and Oyar, and Roland. Like the creatures that Rudy had dedicated his life to destroying.
If I fed, Rudy would have no choice but to destroy me as well...

Such a thing could not be allowed to happen, for even though shame would cause me to want death, and duty would cause Rudy to grant it, it would cause both of us a great amount of pain. For me, it would be the obvious pain of death, and for Rudy...
He would have to live, knowing that he killed someone that he loved. He would have to live and regret, but no amount of regretting would ever be enough to change what happened. It was a feeling I knew all too well, and I wasnt about to let it happen to someone else.

The Vampire Hunters stopped about twenty feet away from us and spread out to form a semi-circle around us. The feeling of hunger again rose within me but I did all I could to ignore it as I shouted, "Go from here, NOW!! If you value your lives you will abandon this suicidal attack and go home to your familys!"
The Vampire Hunters didnt seem to realise I was trying to keep from killing and feasting upon them, and they took what I said as a challenge. "Youd like that, wouldnt you, you vampiric *****! Go home to our families, just so you can feast on our women and children too!!! We re hunters, and we wont stop until we rid the world of filthy undead creatures like---"
Just then another Vampire Hunter broke in. "Dont talk to it, Drake! Thats what it wants. You talk to it and soon you find yourself hypnotised and unable to fight back as it feeds on your blood!"
The one called Drake became frightened but then grew angry. He stared at me with a suspicious, hateful look and drew his gun. "Right," he said, and, as the other nine Hunters attacked, he fired.
Before tonight, the speed of the bullet fired by Drake was laughably slow to my Vampiric reflexes. But now, something was wrong. I couldnt see the path it made through the air as it hurtled towards me, so I was totally unable to dodge it. If it werent for the inexperienced Hunters horrible aim, I might have actually been killed. As it was the bullet imbedded itself into my right shoulder, causing me to momentarily recoil. It was very painful but Id live, which was more than I could say for the Vampire Hunters. As I looked in their direction, I could see that Lantis was in no way handicapped like myself. In fact it was quite the opposite, for he was undergoing the most frightful transformation I have ever seen. He seemed to grow into a shadow itself, the black color of his hair seemed to spread to every part of his body until he seemed a part of the night, and then his arm grew into the shape of a large, horribly misfigured animal with a gaping mouth and rows of sharp, rending teeth. The creatures single red eye saw the hunters as they attacked, and struck.
Within the space of a second, eight of the hunters were dead, torn to pieces by the animals unforgiving teeth. Blood doused the street, and I began to feel as if I were viewing the world from a dream, a blood-stained dream I couldnt wake up from.
Drake and another Hunter managed to throw themselves from the path of the creature, and the other Hunter began to run, getting herself as far away as she could like I told them to before. Drake wasnt so lucky. The creature had grazed him as he leapt away, taking off his legs from the knees down and his gun arm was reduced to a stub. He landed in a puddle of blood not far from where me and the now-changed back Lantis were standing. "My, that was refreshing..." Lantis sighed, his face aglow with the sickening delight of murder. "And conveniantly one of them is still alive, how wonderful! Now, drink up dear Myra while its still fresh. One does not often get to taste the firey blood of Vampire Hunters...."

Before he even finished his sentance I had already knelt down and took hold of Drake’s neck, drawing him closer to me. It felt like I was no longer myself, like I had become something darker. Though I was never exactly the most kind and gentle person, I felt as though every shred of mercy and forgiveness, every feeling of love that I had for ANYTHING had died, swallowed up in the hunger, no, the overwhelming DESIRE for Human Blood. Nothing mattered except that young mans blood flowing across the street, which would soon be flowing inside of me. I brought my fangs down, brushing them against Drakes neck as he tried to struggle away, and started to bite, when------

”What really matters is what you do in the present and the future...”

I gasped as Rudys words rang sharply through my thoughts as if he said them just now. What was I doing?! What had I...ALMOST done?! Still feeling the hunger burning within me I stared with a wide eyed gaze into the frightened eyes of the Human Drake. If I had gone through with it, it wouldve been all over for me. It would have opened the door for a life of murder and spilling blood, a life that my parents wanted to spare me from.
A life that they died trying to prevent.....
My mother had been human, but this didnt keep her from loving my father. They had tried to escape from vampire hunters and vampires alike, and they had indeed escaped, but somehow mother became changed, somehow she had attained a Vampiric shape. Even so she had not lost her humanity...
And now shes dead, her and father both. Their story had come to an end, an unhappy end, all because of Lantis. He would seek to end mine in pain and sorrow too, by turning me into the same kind of murdering creature he prides himself to be!
Anger welled up inside me, and, still holding Drake by the neck, I spotted his gun laying in the pool of blood next to him. I reached for it, and stood up, my head lowered, setting him down in the process. I could sense Lantis’s curiousity as I turned, still not looking up, towards him. “Dear Myra, is something the matter? What has come over you all of a sudden? Is something about that human not to your liking?”

Raising my head up to regard him with a icy stare, I turned my hunger for blood into anger and rage and directed it all towards Lantis. “Lets just say hes not my (blood) Type...” I said coldly and, aiming the gun at him with a quick motion, pulled the trigger. I emptied the contents of the barrell into him until the ‘clik clik clik’ signalled I was out of ammo. Panting with anger and stress I peered through the darkness that, Tonight, blinded my eyes and saw Lantis, still standing, though with many holes in him. The bullets mustve been silver-tipped, because he hadnt healed himself yet. Though as I quickly saw, it wasnt because he couldnt.

He laughed as he once again turned into the shadow and, when he once again formed solid, the bullet holes were gone. I dropped the now-useless gun in my fright at what I was witnessing. I had never seen Lantis display such powers, had never even realised that we Vampires were capable of such feats. “Myra, Myra, Myra....it is as I thought....there IS hope for you after all! And here I thought your parents non-violent nature might have tainted you, but I can see that isnt true. Your natural tendancies ARE a bit misdirected, however...”
I felt the anger return as he spoke. Without thinking about how stupid my actions were, I drew my katana and ran towards him. “Ill kill you, you BASTARD!!!” I yelled. He stood unmoving until I had almost reached him, and then with a gesture a sharp pain in my shoulder where I was shot caused me to drop my katana onto the blood washed street, likewise dropping me to my knees. The bullet had taken on a life of its own, twisting itself deeper into my flesh, while Lantis chuckled to himself. "You still havent learned yet, have you Myra? I am trying to HELP you, dear child! You think its wrong to drink, yet it is how we Aristocrats stay strong. If you do not drink, then you will stay as weak as you are now, no better than one of the filthy human cattle. Is that what you want Myra? To be less than what you are, at the mercy of that which should be weaker than you? Why do you resist it so? It is what Nature intended for us...”

I only half heard him as he spoke. As the pain of the bullet abated, I drew my hands out of the bloody street, watching the blood drip off my hands and seeing the ruby ring Rudy gave me shine redder with the thick liquid. Getting shakily to my feet I felt the wave of hunger hit me stronger than ever before, and, on my unsteady feet, I began to walk away from the bloody mess, facing into the wind so the smell of blood would not reach me and only make my hunger worse. I wasnt sure where it was I thought I was going, I just knew I had to get away from there before I made a horrible mistake. Glancing back to see if Lantis would try and stop me I saw only the empty red-stained street where Lantis had moments before been standing. But at that moment I didnt care where he went. I was in a nightmare, and maybe if I walked far enough I could get away from him for good.
Maybe if I walked far enough I would wake up....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
WOOOO!!! Im finally done! I started this post on Tuesday and finally finished it Thursday afternoon(writing it on and off of course ^-^() ), but I still have to wait until Friday to actually post it. Hopefully this wont interfere with anything that was posted in the meantime!
Ok well on with the story, Lantis isnt gone of course, hes just demonstrating how Not to be Seen LOL! ^-~ He’ll continue to follow Myra, so if anyone finds her keep that in mind. Oh and if anyone arrives on the scene she just left, theyd find lots of human blood(duh), some of Myras blood, the empty gun (with shells), Drake (barely alive or dead from loss of blood), and Myra’s katana, so keep that in mind too.
o.O Looks like I busted up my writers block with a vengence! lol ^-~

[Master Rudy]

Rudy Summers
Around 7 PM
------
Following the departure of Farwell and Liven our group eventually decided to stick together for now and get an idea of how bad things were around the city before attempting to split up. While I knew it was perhaps for the best to know what to expect I also didn't like this approach. It was tearing me apart on the inside in more than one way. While I knew Myra could take care of herself I wanted to make sure she was safe as soon as she could. Having spent most of my time in and around Wood Water I knew the city quite well and could find her quickly if she somehow managed to get away from Lantis. My other problem was that as long as I was around the others I wouldn't have a chance to feed. It would be much easier to sneak up on a human foolish enough to be wandering around on a night like this if I was alone. It was true that I didn't know what blood tasted like but I knew I would have my chance soon enough when I....

I stopped in my tracks feeling shocked over what I was thinking. How the hell could that even pop into my mind? Had my instinctive urge to kill and feed on humans gotten so bad on this night that it was overshadowing my concern over Myra's well being? The first taste of blood could drive some vampires to become much more aggressive and violent towards humans. Was this the real me trying to send a message? I couldn't even start to think of what I might try to do if I crumbled and gave in. I knew that until this night was over that I would worry myself half to death on what I would do if it happened. For now the best thing I could do was try to push it out of my head and focus on the task at hand. However it was much easier said than done. The streets were quiet for now but the light smell of blood was in the air all over the city. Each passing moment would be a struggle but I was determined not to give in despite my weaknesses and try to live through the night.

For a few moments the five of us just walked in silence. Wynder was the one currently leading the group and was up ahead and away from the rest of us. However after awhile he stopped in his tracks. "My god....." he started to say as Koger rushed up to join him. He didn't say anything but the look of shock said far more than words could. I knew this couldn't be good if he was speechless. As Yuar, Gyvien and myself joined them the first thing I saw were the bodies. Words could not even describe what happened. It appeared to be a group of hunters that never stood a chance. However right now something else was on my mind. Among the smell of human blood I picked up on something else. It wasn't as heavy as the blood of the hunters but I was able to pick up Myra's scent in the area as well. She was no doubt injuried if I could smell her own blood. However I wasn't sure what to think. The damage done here could have only been done by a vampire who had many years of experience behind them. It would take a vampire like Lantis to do this. But what did it mean? Had Myra given in? If she did then what was she thinking about right now? My questions would need to wait however because another problem was presenting itself.

Blood.

In my current state things would quickly be out of my control if I didn't do something quick. The sight and smell of all this blood was way too much for me at the moment. I started to take a few deep breaths to try and calm myself but it wasn't working. Somehow the scent was both sickening and pleasing to me at the same time. If my heart could beat then I was sure it would be racing a mile a minute right now. I needed to try and get away from this area for a few moments to try and calm myself down. Taking several steps back I soon found myself bumping into Gyvien. She seemed very displeased over this and with a shove said to me "Watch where the hell your going Rudy!" By this point I was pretty much fed up with her attitude and how she treated me. With a cold glare I considering making her keep quite for a change. It fact it would be doing the group a favor with her big mouth out of the way. I didn't care if she had some vamp blood in her. The human blood she did have would be more than enough for me.

It was at that point that all hell broke loose.

The next few moments seemed to go by so fast that I couldn't remember what happened. The next thing I knew she was on the ground with her hand to her neck while I was being dragged off by Wynder and Yuar. I put up a struggle to get away from them before Yuar convinced me to calm down with a swift kick to the ribs. That seemed to bring me back to my senses. Feeling a bit dazed and confused I couldn't remember what I was thinking a few moments ago but then it suddenly came back to me. I was speechless as I remembered the violent thoughts that had taken over for a moment. How could I do such a thing? The answer was simple. For a brief moment I lost control and Rudy Summers ceased to exist. In his place was the demon he really was. As Gyvien pulled her hand away I saw a tiny bit of blood on her neck. For a second I was worried. Had I tasted blood? Upon a closer look I saw it was just a small cut and not a puncture wound. As for myself I didn't feel any of my power coming back to me. It was a good sign that I failed in my attempt but the damage was done. As Wynder and Yuar let go of me Gyvien just looked on with a look of anger that I had never seen the likes of before. I was unprepared for the words which came next. "Do I look like some weak human?! Someone you can just PICK OFF?! Go find your stupid mate Myra! Go rescue her! Rush to her aid like some sick dog! On the way just TRY to kill your sister too! Just kick me in the shadows and rush to her aid because it's obvious blood isn't thicker than water!" Her outburst was much more painful than a cut from any dagger. I felt the tears coming as I dropped to my knees. I didn't care who saw me. It was just too much at the moment. I had my own outburst as well. However this was also directed at myself as I started to hope I could patch things up with her.

"My god! What the hell did I almost do?!"
------

Get ready for some real fireworks in a moment once Kalah makes her next Gyvien post.

[Bulbasaur4]

YAY!!! ^^ This is gonna be fun.


Gyvien

I stood there… staring at… at him. His name was Rudy Summers, a vampire from birth by a father whom had abandoned his daughter or never returned to find her. His mother was different from that daughter as well.

But that didn’t matter, that daughter… that daughter…

She’s you…
She’s dead.

I stared there, my deep, pained and wild-fire like icy blue eyes glaring at him with any gaze to match either counterpart of human or vampire. My hair was wild… he had flung himself upon me, his teeth at my neck- just enough to draw just a strand of blood but that was from a cut- he had tasted none of it. It angered me beyond belief…. Here I had trusted him, and he destroyed it instantly-shattering the glass. I shouted at him- angry words of hate and dispute… how dare he do this! TO ME?!

He didn’t mean it…
He doesn’t care.

I just stood there, motionless as Yuar Oro turned his wavering, startling-green eyed gaze back and forth between the two of us. The hunter did the same, but Yuar looked more in tune since he had time to meet the both of us. I ignored him… I did not want to look at his gaze. Rudy was an idiot… upon the ground, mumbling words about ‘what did he do’ … but … that… that…
He didn’t mean it…
He didn’t try to stop.

My arms began to shake, as I swallowed hard, gazing at that pitiful figure who was supposed to be my brother.
He is your brother… he still loves you..
He is NOT your brother. He doesn’t care… he loves the other vampire more than family.

I suddenly turned away, clenching my fists… wondering what to do, as the wind played with my black, sable skirt and then at my crimson tank. It was a cold wind… but I did not feel it. My own skin was beginning to feel pale…

You are human… human! You can understand him, he may be a vampire but he is your brother! You must forgive- you have the human blood in you which makes you smell good… that blood which intermixes with vampire blood. He didn’t mean to do it… forgive him, you must stay with your family.
You are Vampire. You have the blood of a vampire with you, and the human blood will only make you weak like when you were little. Remember when you were little? Do you want to feel that pain again? Don’t feel it again. Forget him, he isn’t your brother. Brothers do not try to kill their own kyn.

Then the rain came pouring down… it came down harsh, cold and gently. It was a minor rain… as it splashed against my hair. The moon’s viberant glow could still be seen through the faint clouds, but some how still the rain came pouring down. It washed against my shoulders… as I quickly turned my fierce gaze back to Rudy and the others. Silence.
He feels bad…
He is pretending
Remember what you can have…
Remember your Past!!!

I then suddenly fell to my knees, clutching my sides as I felt a pain rising up from with in me… it felt as if my blood was boiling hot, as if my head were about to burst… it was undescribable and it hurt. It felt worse than any pain that could come from a wound or mental anguish… it came from deep inside… it hurt like a thousand burning wiccan knives…

*~~~*
“Run Gyvien! RUN!” Yuar thrusted one of his attackers off of his shoulder, but the creature dug its claws into his flesh and blood spattered through the air. He grimaced, but showed no true pain. His wild eyes seemed to pierce the night air like a knife as he gazed to Gyvien once again. She was so small and she stood there… shivering… so frightened… she couldn’t move. She didn’t want to leave Yuar… “GO!”
Suddenly a creature leapt from behind Gyvien, and instantly a dagger was at Gyvien’s throat. She let a squeal barely escape her lips, as she quivered… feeling alone and frightened all of a sudden. The creature breathed into her hair… as a sniveling giggle escaped this creature’s mouth. Yuar’s eyes burned with rage as he suddenly leapt into the air with amazing grace and sudden power from out of the circle of 5 attackers. He then landed alongside Gyvien and her kidnapper, and with lightening movements he sent a swift kick to the hand of the knife. It fell from the creature’s grip… and with a swift punch to match, the creature released his grip and fell to the ground with a squeal. Gyvien ran to Yuar and hugged him tightly, but Yuar pulled away.
“Go Gyvien! They’ll only kill both of us… if you go, I can escape as well- but I will not leave until you are safe. Here…” He took from with in his pocket a small, yet sizable dagger made of silver. The handle itself was made from a deep black jewel, and incrusted within this black jewel handle were two red, crimson-red jewels in the shape of a moon and star. But upon the blade itself, was a wolven creature embroidered.
“Take this dagger… keep it safe. You remember what I’ve told you about it. So take it, keep it with you and you will survive.”

He then motioned her off… and Gyvien ran… As she ran, suddenly a cry came through the air and she looked back just in time to see all six of their attackers turn on Yuar and blood again go ripping through the air as one of them slashed him across the back with a sword and then go for his abdomin…

Gyvien turned away, tears streaming down her face… but then suddenly another hand seized her from the shadows. Letting loose a small squeak, it was stifled as the hand covered her mouth. It was strong and it clutched her more tightly than a dragon to his hoard of jewels. Her eyes were wide with fright, as she then gazed up at those evil eyes… which seemed to smile.
“Hello Gyvien… I’ve been waiting for you to come.”

*~~~*

Gyvien let loose a small yell, as she thrusted herself forward at the memory, and the pain still ebbed her in the abdomin. She had her hands flat against the cement, and she heard footsteps coming towards her- but then one of them stopped as the other went forward. Gyvien slowly got to her feet, though rain dotted her cheeks she did not cry.
Remember your past…

She whirled around to see Rudy. His eyes were filled with concern..
All lies.
“Gyvien… I… I am… so..so sor-“

LIES!
Suddenly the pain vanished from Gyvien’s body as her eyes burned with rage at the memories. She swallowed hard as quick as lightening she reached for a dagger that was fasened underneath her skirt and whiped it out and shined it in Rudy’s face. Two ruby jewels gleamed in the light…

“Get the f*** away from me! I never want to see your pathetic face EVER again! GET IT?! NEVER!! “ Gyvien took a violet step back as she waved the dagger in the air.
“I’ll slash you Rudy, I’ll slash you if you take one more step towards me.”

He took a step towards her, and Gyvien’s instincts kicked in. A gleam of light echoed through the air with a shimmer and soon a smooth, light red line was slashed across Rudy’s collar bone up towards his shoulder line. It wasn’t that long, wasn’t that deep at all… but it left a red line and the clothing was neatly cut- showing expertise in the mark. It was a warning.
Rudy was stunned… and Gyvien wasn’t finished. She was shaking so violently now, the pain was gone… but the words were clear..
Betrayer.
“ This was all just a big f***’* mistake! You are NOT my brother!!! I HAVE NO FAMILY! Just leave me the **** alone and go after your little *****!!”

With out warning, Gyvien suddenly turned and ran after giving Rudy a long stare down with her fierce blue-eyed gaze.. and she ran, ran faster than she ever did at any night or any hunt. The rain pattered against her body as she ran… but she disappeared before Rudy could even try to answer. She was going to be gone… and she didn’t plan on ever coming back.




Yuar

Silence seemed to be the thing that was most evident upon this night. I noticed it as soon as we left with Gav, Koger, Rudy and Gyvien. I was a bit worried about Lyvien and Farwell going by themselves to find Roland… it pained me to see two people who were going through a night they themselves would not understand, unprotected. Besides, with the moon in full view… what if Farwell couldn’t control himself and went at- No, the priest was a holy being even if he was a vampire. He would have to control himself… or I hoped that his god would protect both of them. If their god really did exist.

The air however was silent, but it was still thick and tense as if it were filled with many sounds. I had drank blood… and as Vylianne had told me, I was changing. I felt stronger…swifter, my whole body felt as if it were given a boost. Vylianne was wrong on one of her predictions… her clue to lead that I wouldn’t be able to control myself. That… that was untrue. I would never allow myself to fall apart in a time of need. These beings… vampires, mutant and human alike would need my help. Even though I don’t know how I can… but I had to try.
As I walked ahead of most everyone, I did sense blood in the air. It had faintly tingled my nose ever since we exited… and I knew that vampires were on the loose and probably on a rampage- both drinkers and nondrinkers a like. We had to be on the look out constantly… or else fall prey to some rogue, psychotic vampire who had lost himself in the madness of the night. Silently, I sensed blood even thicker in the air… and the smell was filling my senses. I stopped suddenly, and Rudy along with Koger walked before me. Gyvien kept walking… staring at the ground as she walked, but Gav stopped.
“What is it?”
I sighed, and gazed ahead.
“Blood.”
I continued to walk again until finally we came to the scene I had sensed before hand. Blood was everywhere… it was a scene that could have been described as a massacre. Bodies, deformed and bloodied were upon the ground… the smell stank of ripped and torn flesh, as a few faces were so unrecognizable that only their horrified eyes could be seen with the white gleaming in the moonlight. My body tensed… for I felt the need to suddenly be extremely aware of everything and everyone. An eerie wind blew against my hair… as it rippled the auburn color to gleam in the light, I withdrew another breath and suddenly my eyes sharpened.
It was Myra’s blood.
Had she been hurt? Was she injured? Surely Lantis… he wouldn’t have captured her only to kill her would he? No… I knew Lantis better than anyone else, and he wouldn’t kill her. Not until he used her for whatever purpose she served… which I was sure was either to get to me or some one else in this group. Some how though… I had this haunting suspicion that the person Lantis was after, wasn’t anyone I was suspecting. I thought it would be Rudy or I… but what if some one else was really who he was after? How could I save them?
Why do I always have to try to save everyone… years ago I wouldn’t have been this way.
Or maybe I still would…

Then I jerked around to hear a moment of struggle, and with in a lightening’s instinct, I whirled around to see …. Rudy, attacking Gyvien?
The mere sight of it shocked me to pieces… Rudy, of all people who I thought could handle his vampire tendencies, was attacking his own sister. The mere shock of his outburst had sent her to the ground, and I saw as her hand was reaching for a place which probably held a weapon. But her hand was pushing Rudy away… as he was drawing to her neck.

I reacted like a cat about to pounce. In an instant I seized Rudy by the back of his neck and withdrew his head upwards. He fought it… and Gav got in the middle and managed to release Rudy’s hand grasps. I pulled Rudy harshly upward as if he were a puppet, as he fought against me. I quickly took my other hand and grabbed his other arm and whirled his front side to face me. He made a motion to lash at me, but swiftly I brought forth my foot and leg and kicked him harshly in the gut to slam him to the ground.
He seemed daze, but his senses suddenly seemed to return to him. He sat there, and then gazed up at Gyvien with horrified eyes. Gyvien was swearing her head off… obviously shaken and extremely angry. Rudy started to echo with his voice about what he did…. What did he do…
I looked away painfully, shutting my eyes for a breif moment as I rested my hands with in the pockets of my black jacket.
Gyvien… she’s been a light fiester, more hasty. The moon is affecting her as well… this night is. Dampiels… they are part vampire and part human. Obviously her vampire side is trying to come out… and it is working…

Then a yell of pain came to my ears, and I whirled around to see Gyvien fall to her knees. She clutched her sides as if in pain, and slowly clouds seemed to roll in and a pitter-patter of rain came. I began to run to her side as she sat there… clutching herself tightly and then she suddenly sprawled forward, placing her hands on the wet ground. Rudy ran to her as well… but I stopped in my mid run. Let her brother go to her, I had no place in comforting his family.

She slowly got up, and then whirled around. The defiance in her eyes which shinned bright seemed to glow as she glared a deathly glance at her brother.
She’s… she’s being torn apart. I thought, suddenly an expression of pain and worry coming to me. What does happen to a Dampiel, if they cannot decide if they are vampire or human? If this night makes them decide… and they cannot, what would happen to them?
I can tell just by looking at her… she’s thinking of two different sides. Her soul… her mind… it can’t decide which way to go. She’s being torn apart.

She screamed then, literally blasted Rudy’s ears off as she shouted words far angrier than anything I’ve ever heard. No jeering remark, no joke, no actions could have wounded some one more deeply than Gyvien’s words…
I had to handle it to her. Not only could she be deathly with her weapons, her words were even far superior for inflicting pain… she had a talent for it. I only could wonder where after we were split apart she picked it up from…

I watched silently with Koger and Gav, as she finally ran off into the night. She disappeared, and Rudy stood there, unmoving. The rain continued to fall…

And some how I knew deep inside, this night had only begun.

(Okay, Gyvien’s run off and I don’t want anyone chasing her. Koger or Gav could start heading after her- assuming that the whole group would, but Yuar would stop them. He would say that they can’t go after her when she is in this state… they need to give her some time- but not too much. Yuar will stay with Rudy, until Rudy leaves yet another cliff hanger. ^^ Oh and Asi… I believe Myra needs to meet someone. Lol.)

[Master Rudy]

Well both Kalah and Asi should have the general idea of what to expect. As for the rest of you your gonna be tourtured by not knowing!

The rain was stinging at my skin as I just looked down at the ground feeling unsure of what to do. I still couldn't believe what had just happened. I had almost killed Gyvien. I had WANTED to kill her. I had come dangerously close to drinking the blood of my own sister. That situation was now making me remember things I didn't like thinking about. It was a past that was long gone for me. I thought it was finally gone but this night was bringing a darker side of myself back to the surface. There were times in the past where I was provoked for one reason or another. These situations usually didn't end well. Thinking back for a moment I now knew it was just pure luck that I hadn't tasted blood yet. I just shook my head and feel digusted with myself. For one brief moment it was as if I had no clue who she was. All I knew was that she had human blood.

Do all vampires have the potential to get that dangerous?
Can just the mere thought of blood be enough to drive one crazy if their desire for it is bad enough?
Is this what I truely am? Nothing more than a demon looking to enjoy a meal as he watches the humans he is attacking suffer?

After that horrible incident I had many questions on my mind and was second guessing myself. Was I really as peaceful and calm as I thought I was? Or was I just looking for a time and place to snap and turn on humans? Now I was starting to really worry. If I could do that to Gyvien then what right did I have staying with the rest of the group? Yuar wouldn't have to worry since he was also a vampire. Koger was also safe from me. Some vampires did drink the blood of mutants and other vampires. However it was the blood of humans that we craved. The blood that could easily be provided by Gyvien, Wynder and Liven once she rejoined us.

My mind was made up now. I was a danger to the three of them and I need to get far away bcause the last thing I wanted to do was to hurt my friends and family. Without a single word I started to walk away from the group but was quickly stopped by Yuar. Before he could say a single word I told him "She's right you know. I'm not her brother. No brother would ever do that to his own sister." Shaking his head he said "Don't be hard on yourself Rudy. It was beyond your control. You had no idea what you were doing." Feeling my anger rising I snapped at him "Well it's a poor f****** excuse!" No one was expecting that kind of language from me. Even I knew it was uncalled for. I knew that if I didn't calm down that I might snap again. After taking a moment to cool off I said "My father's final wish was for me to protect her in any way that I could. But tell me one thing Yuar. How the hell can I protect her when I'm the one she needs to be protected from?"

Feeling fed up and not wanting to say another word I stepped around Yuar and tried to walk away. Within moments he shouted at me "So that's it? Your just going to walk away and forget you found her? Live the rest of your life and forget about the fact that for one brief moment you found her?" Stopping in my tracks I just didn't say a word. It was a tense situation to say the least. Finally without turning around I told him "I'm not walking away. Hell I even saved her life once last night. The problem is that for the rest of tonight I'm a danger to her. Once this is all over I'm pretty sure we can patch this up but it's gonna take time. Despite what she said I know that deep down Gyvien knows that I would not intentionally try to hurt her." Looking up at the moon I said to Yuar "Just do me one favor." As I turned around I smiled and told him "Even if it means the death of me I'm gonna make sure that your sister gets through this night in one piece. Make sure that Gyvien also stays alive."

With those words I turned away from the group to start the search for Myra and to hopefully be able to bring a quick end to Lantis. I tried to put on a cheerful face as I left but somehow I had a feeling that they knew something was bothering me. If they knew what I had done four years ago they would lose all trust in me. Worse yet Gyvien would want nothing to do with me ever again. However there was one person that I knew I could talk to.

Myra

She was truthful with me back at the inn and I didn't pass judgement on something she did long ago. If anyone would understand it would be her. Once I was sure she was safe my first order of business would be to talk to her about my past. It was time for me to come clean. My only problem now was finding her. The rain had stopped which was a good thing. Any more of it would have washed away any blood left behind. It was faint and not easy to pick up but I could still smell some of it in the air.

I only could hope she wasn't seriously hurt or in trouble......
------

EDIT-Well I just added on to my post and changed some of it around. This all ties in with something I've planned. I'm sure by now your all dying to know just what it is that Rudy did. Just sit back for now. It'll all going to come out within another post or two ^_~

Skyler
The dumpster reeked of rotting waste, the toxic fumes seemingly ripping off my nose. I felt the smoldering trash squish as I squrimed around. The piles of banana peels, papers, apple cores, used tissue papers...all sitting in this metal container. The odor, overwhelming. The saltyness of the rotting, decomposing items was enveloping my senses. The rancidness of my surroundings began to fade, however, as the hours past. The filth became less noticable, as I began to adapt and get used to it. I soon forgot that I was sitting in a dumpster. I watched though the cracks as the sun soared though the sky, and slowing falling away over the horizon in a bright medley of colors.

As it set, I relaxed. My wait was finally over. The sun would not plague me with painful burns from its hot rays. But I admired its beauty, something I never had the time for...or even realized was there. When it set, it showered the world with a beautiful array of color, sending a warm feeling, a good feeling, though my body...and possibly everyone else who was staring at the sunset too. Its harmful rays...could bring...happiness...and warm feelings into the world.

Finally the sun fully sank down and the colors vanished, with total darkness taking its place. I looked to the other side...the other horizon, and watched as the moon began to take its rise. The rays of the moon shined brightly, spraying its eerie silver light over the land. Slowly...I felt as if I was growing. My body...the muscles began to...bulge? It felt like they were going to pop my skin! My senses...began to expand...the rancid smells of the decomposing waste began to hit me with a bang, making me whince. My eyes...I could see...miles away...far far away... But it all wasn't a big increase...but it was a noticable one.

Then, my mind felt like it was slowly being torn apart. I felt to personalities rise to the surface...or maybe my one personality split. I felt a terrible pain in my stomach...like it was going in knots. Adrenaline rushed though my veins...for an unknown cause. Then, I heard a voice call to me...reminding me of what I wanted to do...

Go...kill...kill Roland...and all who stand in your way...

"Yes...yes I will...I must kill the abmination..."

Then I snapped back into reality...did I really want to kill. Kill this...beast. I wanted too...but was it for the right reason? I knew I wanted to destroy him, rid him from the world...but I felt different now...I felt like the need was stronger...much stronger... But I felt that I didn't need to kill him... My mind spun as these revelations went though my head. What is happening to me? My mind felt exausted, pulled this way and that. I had to destroy Roland, I had brought him, this evil heartless beast into existance...but if I killed him...what cost would I be willing to pay?

Anything...

No...not everything...

Myself...and all others...

I will give myself, but the others will not be apart of this...

Everything will be sacrificed...

I will save all...

I was horrified with myself...I could not stand it! The two personalities raged within me, clashing at every moment, wanting different things, having different needs...all in the same person. One side had to win...but it seemed like that was not a choice...both sides seemed like they wouldn't fade, not at all. I lashed out at the dumpster wall in rage, ripping away the metal wall into many little pieces. I glanced in horror, but I wasn't done, I vented my pain, my anger, my rage into the metal container, denting in so many places, it didn't look like a dumpster anymore. But then, I felt better, the anger and rage subsided...but only into a little corner. I still felt it, egging me on, wanting me to rip everything...and everyone...into shreds. But it was satisfied...for now.

I sat in there, pondering. What had happened? In a flash, I went from a warm feeling, watching the beautiful picture of colors that the sun painted...to hatred, pain, suffering, and darkness. I noticed that I wasn't the only one in the shadows...night had fallen in the town. Strange coincidences...

Then, a loud hum was heard, and the dumpster rattled. I felt the dumpster being raised into the air, as the hum got louder and louder. The green container tilted over, spilling out all that was inside...including me. I fell into the gigantic pile of waste, the decomposing material like water in a pool. In an instant, the darker side of me tore out and the rest was a blur. I bursted out of the dump truck, blowing away the metal walls, the waste spilling, filling the whole alley. I ripped open the doors and held the man in the air. I bared my fangs, and lowered his neck to them and...

What just happened? Oh my god...what could I have just done. I had let my rage get to me. I let go of the man and stared at him, scared...scared of myself...scared of what I could do. The man just looked at me...with a mix of fright and confusion, rubbing his bite-free neck. I backsteped away, into the night.

Gyvien - F - Dampiel




I ran... ran fast down the dark alleyways. Who needed them anyway? Who needed them!!!

Run away... kill.

The rain had stopped, and I was in a long dark alleyway that seemed to go on forever. What did I think? Kill? Did I really want to kill... kill whom?
Humans. Kill t hem.

I stopped, my hair wet and drapping over my bare shoulders, as I stopped and gazed at the ground. My reflection was shown in a pool... as I stared, thinking..
kill...
I felt hate, anger... man, I wanted to hurt others more then anything right now. Rudy... I wanted to slash his face back there and put a gun to his head- but... I didn't. But... were these thoughts really mine? Rudy.. wasn't he..
You have no brother.

"SHUT UP!" I shouted suddenly, clutching my head... these thoughts were not mine! Why... I always have been exposed to blood in my life, always exposed to death and pain... but... but... I did not want to kill those that didn't deserve it and-
He does deserve it..
"SHUT UP!! GO AWAY!"

I suddenly lashed out, my fist clench and aimed at anything- which happened to be a cement wall. My flesh struck against the wall hard... and soon blood was smeared against the wall as I recoiled my hand in pain. I then collapsed again upon the ground, sinking to my knees as I shook all over.
"f***!" I simply said... and then another voice arose..

"With t hat language... you could be fined."

the voice was smooth and silky, yet some how... it didn't comfort me. Jerking my head up, my hair rippling with this affect... my icy blue eyes gazed about... until a shadowy figure revealed itself.

She stood tall... thin, and she looked very ... well, revealing. She wore a bikini-like orange top, with tight shorts to compliment her strong figure. Her hair was pulled back, as she raised an eyebrow gazing at me with her hands crossed across her chest. She looked at me with an expectant gaze... and I quickly jerked my body up, sensing an aura of....

power.

"Who the h*** are you?" I growled, suddenly feeling my anger bubble to teh surface... but that voice did not rise.

" THe name is Vylianne... and I already know who you are. Your Gyvien, Rudy's long lost... sister."

With that note on 'sister', I gritted my teeth and narrowed my eyes.
"I have no brother and he has no sister."

She shrugged..
"Whatever way you want to put it. Facts are facts my dear, and you are related whether you want to believe it or not."

"Who are you to talk! Just... get out of my way and leave me the f*** alone!"

I suddenly shouted, glaring with my defiant eyes as I hastily walked by her... purposefully brushing my shoulder against hers, hard. But she didn't move.. she actually didn't even budge. THat ticked me off... I wanted to get my dagger and cut her head off and maybe that would satasfy me enough for tonight. B****.

" I've simply come to help you... despite your blood being tainted by that of a pitiful, stupid, **** of a human that your pathetic father did."

I froze.
"What the h*** did you just say?" I whirled around with a sharp gaze, but my eyes were more bewildered. How... how did she... why did- she was confusing me. How did she know so much about me? I... I didn't even know my mother or father that well... I didn't even know if my mother was still alive.
Nor do you care.
I cringed... that voice...

" You heard me loud and clear. But I'm not here to give you a history lesson... I'm here to give you some advice, as much as I'd regret it."

I narrowed my eyes.. the way she cooly talked, the way she carried herself... like she was 'all high and mighty'. It made me sick.
" You'll do as i say or I'll smack that grin off your face! ANSWER ME!" I yelled, suddenly reaching for my dagger and waving it about with a gleam in the air. She didn't move, she only let her smile crack a little wider.
"You couldn't hurt me if you tried... you dampiel"
I froze again... she was pissing me off, but some how... I got this aura, this air as if... she was right. I would have loved to kill her then... by the way she said dampiel... but... some thing whispered to me not to challenge her authority.

"Then say the h*** what you came to say so I can move on with my life and not see your slutty face again." I spat.

She laughed and shook her head. Leaning against a wall, she gazed at me with a curious look...
" I'm not telling you everything, that would be too easy. I never tell anything... I never do anything for anyone unless they've got cash or some thing in it for me. BUT, I will offer you, or rather tell you some advice freely- since your connected with Rudy, your 'not-really' brother." She laughed at that, as I clenched my fists but held my ground.

"Just say it."
" Your fighting it... I can tell it the way you talk, walk and act. Your fighting your vampire side and your human side. It's driving you crazy and you can't stop it... or you don't know how."

Don't listen to her... she's just trying to get to you.
Give her a chance..
She's lying.
She knows who you are..

I suddenly fell to my knees again, that burning sensation... the undescribable pain rising all through my body came back. I clutched my sides and let out a scream... closing my eyes..
"SHUT UP! JUST SHUT UP!" I cried, shaking all over as the pain felt like my flesh was burning alive... from the inside...
Don't be a human... you'll be weak.
Accept who you are..

" See, you are fighting it. Those voices... one human, one vampiric. So Gyvien, what is it?"

I continued to listen... some thing about her words were intriguing.. like how did she know me? My-... How did she know Rudy?
Remember your past..
Think of the future!
I gave another yell of agony.

"Are you a vampire... or a human? You must make a choice... Be the creature you vowed to rebel against and become strong.. or, be the creature you've despised and become the thing you've vowed to never be... weak."
The chains of your past will always bind you...
You can break them..

"I-I... I don't want to be a vampire! I don't want to be a human! I don't want to be EITHER! Just... make both of them go away!"
I cried out..

But Vylianne's last words were not comforting. They sounded ill.
"It's your choice... but make it soon or you will be torn apart by the two sides destined to never live in balance."

I shook... as the pain went away...
You are not in the past.

I got up shakily, gazing at Vylianne's smug look with glistening eyes, though I did not cry. I shook... but the pain went away.
You are not a vampire.

"See? See how they struggle for power? So what is your choice Gyvien?"

"I won't be either... I will just remain a dampiel... it is who I AM!"

Vylianne shook her head, sighing as she stood straight up.
" It doesn't work that way. With your past.. and Summers blood in you, it won't work. It can't."
I growled..
"I refuse to be either human or vampire."
She shrugged as she began to walk away.

"Have it your way. But I ask you this: even if it causes you to die, eating away at your little by little in their struggle for power... if it causes you to die, will you not make a choice?"

If I were ever a vampire... I'd have to drink blood, and I would never do that- ever. Vampires were everything I hunted for, lived against... VAmpires, I was betrayed by all of them... all of them except one, but he was a rarity in the world. Far better then all of them... but he was a rarity. I couldn't be one of those.
Humans. They were weak... utterly stupid and foolish, hasty to reason with and... and just greed fools. I would never be them either... EVER. Vampires hurt me... betrayed me... they were forever apart of my past and future, and not once did any of those cold-hearted b****** show me any mercy. Humans... they always jeered me, tried to kill me too at times, even when t hey didn't know me.
I would rather die...

"I will not be either one of them fully. I will remain a dampiel, a half breed."

Silence ensued.. as the moon suddenly broke through a cloud and the radiant rays shinned upon my form, as Vylianne's piercing eyes gazed at me.

Vylianne gazed back at me, her eyes unreadible..
" Then Gyvien, you are dying."

Then Vylianne simply vanished in the shadows.



(I'll post with YUar later sometime... but Asi, if you want to run into Gyvien now before the other plans go down, you can run into her in this alley. Gyvien has her human side dominant... but that can easily change.)

[Bulbasaur4]

Well... since I am bored and no one is there for me to really talk too...





Yuar Oro - M - Vampire
****


Yuar stood there, gazing as Rudy walked off. Sighing, Yuar gazed up at the sky again.
"We shouldn't be splitting up... there are far too many dangers out there to be splitting up so many times."

Yuar was a bit torn though... he wished Rudy and Gyvien could control themselves better, keep their temperments so they could just hurry up and find Myra. If she was with Lantis... who knew what he would do to her. He wouldn't kill her... but... Myra was his sister, Yuar just found his sister that he's been watching for so manyyears... and now, now Lantis, the one who betrayed Yuar and framed him. Now he had Yuar's sister. In his dirty, filthy paws...

"I should have killed him long ago..." Yuar softly whispered, gazing towards Koger and Wynder who looked a little lost. Koger though still had that strange air about him. Yuar was unsettled ever since he met the mutant... it reminded him of some one who he couldn't quite put his finger on.
" Well, as much as I hate to say this... I think we've split up."
Wynder nodded..
"It's amazing how things just blow up."

Yuar sighed again, running his hand t hrough his hair and he shook his head.
"Well, Rudy is going to go after Myra... if Rudy isn't going after his own sister, then I guess I will. Some one has to look after her if what's left of her family won't..."

Yuar then took a few steps past the duo, and then stopped.
"I guess it's up to you two who you follow. I suggest you go after Rudy, he's more vulnerable on this night then I am."

Yuar then ran off after Gyvien... in the direction she had been heading in a hurry.

***
Later*
***

Yuar had tracked Gyvien through many alleyways, but he knew she had to be far ahead. Yuar also knew that Gyvien would need her space... but he was worried.
Two sides... He thought, and then sighed as he kept walked in the dark. His mind was swirling with so many thoughts... he had wanted everyone to stay together. That was the only way he could keep them all in check... make sure they were all right. Now he had to find Gyvien and then quickly bring her back to Rudy, who hopefuly by then wouldn't have himself killed and would just find Myra.
"For once in your life Rudy... fight your way out of this." Yuar thought, as he kept walking...
Rudy was a strange Vampire, Yuar had made that observation eversince the encounter in the bar. Yuar knew that, or had analyzed that Rudy was a rarity. He looked for peace and didn't like to fight, which was honorable and very dutiful in itself. Yuar also was well away that Rudy was young... and that he was a bit niave in his ways. Some times peace isn't a solution... and RUdy, he had to learn that there isn't just two sides: peace and war. There is a happy medium..
Maybe some day they'll learn that you can be in between..
Yuar thought, thinking of how Gyvien and Rudy seemed to be at t he oppisite side of the spectrum.

"Thinking again, so deeply?"
A cool voice entered the air, and Yuar instantly had his dagger in his hand at the mere sound.
"Vylianne... I was hoping you'd leave this city."
Yuar growled, as he suddenly whirled around to the touch of a soft hand upon his shoulder. Jerking away harshly, Yuar placed the dagger between himself and Vylianne.
" Is that a way to greet a lady?" Vylianne said, batting an eye and smiling coyly.
"Trust me... you're no lady." Yuar said back, his voice deadly serious and down-to-earth.

Vylianne rolled her eyes, as she stopped making advances towards Yuar, and she flashed her empty hands to him. Her whole gait in her walk was slinky... relaxed and rather revealing, as if she were a peacock flashing her colorful feathers.
" I have no weapons Yuar... so you can put that dagger away."
"You are a weapon Vylianne, I'm not as niave as you may think."
Yuar responded, as he kept his dagger tightly clenched in his hand, but lowered it in a less defensive manner. Vylianne nodded,
"Understandable."
Yuar kept walking... and didn't hear Vylianne's footsteps follow.

What was she up too? SHe obviously had some thing to say- she only revealed herself when she did.
"Say it Vylianne, i know you will eventually anyway." Yuar spoke, stopping and turning his head to make a sideways glance at her. She gave another smile..
" Doon't worry about Gyvien, Yuar, I just spoke with her. She's quite alright... although one vampire is approaching her may cause a problem."
Yuar was caught off guard by that remark, and he whirled around in a furry.
"You better have not touched her!!" He growled, and Vylianne laughed.
" Never did Yuar, don't be so defensive!"
"Just tell me what you came here to say and leave."
Vylianne s ighed..
"If your going to be so rude, then so be it. I just wanted to warn you... Gyvien isn't going to make it."
"WHAT?"
"Gyvien... Yuar, your little pet is dying."

Yuar lost his temper for the first time that night. Angrily he thrusted himself towards Vylianne's delicate figure, and made a swiping motion with his dagger- but it foudn nothing but air. Vylianne gracefully leapt above Yuar and landed behind him, and instantly she grasped Yuar's abdomin with her arms, and clutched him tightly, burrying her face into his strong, muscular shoulder which was felt through his jacket. Yuar froze... that touch...

" Her human side and vampire side are fighting, and she refuses to give in to either one of them. They'll tear her apart Yuar... she'll die."

Vylianne then released her grip, and took a few swift steps back as she gazed at Yuar.
" You can't protect them all... it's impossible."

Yuar knew Vylianne knew him well... and she knew he wanted to protect them all, especially at this dire time of need.
" I will try." he stated blankly, as Vylianne shook her head- her hair rippling back and forth.
" You will fail."
"Then I will die before that." Yuar growled back... feeling a little aggitated, but knowing... that... she did.. speak in some truth. She always had a way of saying things that were true, but you didn't want to hear.
" Why? They do not trust your wisdom now... along with respect your skill. Why save those who do not care about you and ho are doomed to die?"
To this, Yuar answered swiftly with his heart... for this first time, his heart.
" Because I still have guilt... and I must protect. Since I was born, I had to protect. I will not lose them before I lose myself."

Vylianne opened her mouth.. "But-"
"I WILL NOT LOSE THEM!" Yuar suddenly shouted with such a force of outrage, that even Vylianne was taken aback. He never had acted this way before... with such... passion...

Yuar didn't give her a time to react however, instead he tightly gripped his dagger and ran down the path he had sensed Gyvien had gone... his coat rippling with his swift movement as he dashed forward into the night. Vylianne watched him go... and for a moment,... a single tear strolling down her cheek as she watched him fade. Her eyes watered, but she quickly blinked fiercefully. Inhaling a breath, she sharply wiped it away and gracefully leaped into the air and vanished.


(Yuar will not be joining Myra/Gyvien duo until that guest arrives.. .heh, but I'll post that.)

Wood Water City (The Alleys)
:::7:13PM:::
*thump* *thump* *thump*

As I stumbled down the street I soon wondered if Lantis had indeed forgotten about me. Maybe he didnt care what happened to me, maybe he felt that I wasnt needed and that hed leave me alone. Though I knew that it probably wasnt true, still I hoped.
The hunger had not gone away. I still wanted nothing more than to sink my fangs into the next human I saw, but I tried to keep my mind on moving forward. Always....forward.

Thump thump thump------POW!!!

Before I knew what happened the steady thump of my footsteps was interrupted and I was shoved to the side by something. A bit confused I took a few shakey steps back before what bumped into me registered. "G...Gyvien!!!" I exclaimed, my face lighting up. For the second surprising time since I met her I was actually happy to see her. I held the bullet wound in my shoulder and gave her a look that could almost be called kind. I was so happy to finally see a welcome face that, despite the fact we never got along I felt like hugging her. I took a few steps towards her but I soon found out that would be a mistake. Her dagger whipped out of its resting place and whizzed through the air towards my head. Either I was having extremely good luck, which was doubtful, or Gyviens anger caused her to be careless in her aim, but it went right past my head, slicing off a section of my hair. Shock couldnt describe what I was feeling. And then she started talking. "Get the bloody f***ing hell away from me you stupid vampire b*tch! Its not enough that your retarded dumb@$$ mate has a whole f***ing boatload of screws loose!!! Now you want to have a little blood too?!?! Ok!! HERE HAVE SOME!!!" And she swung another dagger at me, taking off some more of my hair. I started to get angry.

"And what the hell are you doing?! I knew you were hot tempered but I didnt know you were stupid as well!! I know we dont like each other but Im not your enemy! And I have bigger things to worry about than your petty dislike of your brother!"
I yelled at her, feeling my insides burn. I felt like just taking care of her for good and slaking my thirst for blood all at the same time, killing two birds with one stone. Shes wasting all that energy cursing and being rude when it would go to SUCH better use once I fed. And plus I wouldnt have to listen to her anymore.

She mustve figured out what I was thinking because she jabbed her fingers into the bullet hole in my shoulder. I yelled in pain and struggled to pull away from her as she grabbed me by the shirt and got in my face. "I know how to pay that little b@stard back....."

I know it seems to end abruptly but this is the point when someone steps in ^-~

[Master Rudy]

Very long post up ahead. First off be warned of language that's coming up. As for why it's long I've got a situation to take care of and will finally cover some questions and loose ends some of you might have about Rudy ^_~

Rudy Summers
7:15 PM
------
Things would have been so much easier if I could get up onto the roofs. Even so it didn't seem like it would have made much difference anyway. The scent of Myra's blood was getting stronger so she had to be nearby. Pretty soon a painful scream filled the air followed by a voice I was not expecting at all. "I know how to pay that little bastard back."

Gyvien?!

It wasn't going to take a genius to figure out what kind of situation this was. The two of them did not get along at all and I knew that without someone to keep the peace that many of their verbal attacks on one another could have turned into a full blown out battle. Rounding a corner I saw Gyvien and Myra at the end of an ally with my sister pinning her against the wall while threating her with a dagger. Going for my katana I thought to myself She isn't no sister of mine. That b**** is going to wish she never.....

Hold on a moment! Why the f*** am I even considering that!?!

For a moment an image long forgotten came to mind. It was a time where rage took over. I wasn't going to let my anger get the best of me a second time. Without drawing a weapon I quietly made my way towards them. As I got closer I got to see how Myra was hurt. She seemed to be bleeding from her right shoulder but it the clothing seemed to have a hole in it rather than a slash. My guess was that she was shot by that group of dead hunters we had come across. At the moment Myra and Gyvien were too focused on one another to notice me. Just as I got within range Gyvien looked about ready to stab her right in the face. However before she could do anything to Myra I grabbed her by the wrist and stopped her. Not expecting this move she broke my grip and spun around quickly with her dagger ready to strike. Seeing the slash coming I managed to get out of the way before she took my head off. While I was sure that my reflexes were still good compared to a human it was clear that they were not what they normally were. The dagger still managed to graze my right cheek a bit as I tried to get away. It wasn't deep enough to cause serious damage but it still came close enough to draw blood.

Once Gyvien saw it was me she just stood there staring me down for a few moments. Finally without a word she came rushing at me. There was no way I'd draw a weapon on my own sister. If I did so and suddenly lost my mind like before there was no telling what I might do. Because of that I had to try and stop her while I was unarmed. However for a change it looked like luck was working with me. Gyvien was blinded by her rage and was using very sloppy attacks. After dodging several of them I saw my chance. Catching her wrist I bent it at an angle that would easily break it if I wanted to do so. Once she let go of her dagger I released her and then snatched it our of the air as it fell. Not sure what else to expect from her I quickly got into a defensive stance as I waited. However rather than go for any other weapons she just started yelling. "What the f*** are you waiting for?! If you want me dead then just go ahead and kill me already! I've got no family so at this point I don't see what else there is left to lose!" I wasn't sure how to react to that but I know for a fact I wouldn't kill her. Besides I had a feeling it was a bluff anyway. If Gyvien was ready to fight then there was no way of knowing just how out of control it would get. Dropping her dagger to the ground I kicked it towards her and decided to call her bluff with one of my own. Looking her right in the eyes I said in a calm voice "I don't have any reason to kill you Gyvien. On the other hand it would seem like you've got some unresolved issues so here's my suggestion. If you really think killing me will solve all of your problems then you go ahead and pick up that dagger. Just keep one thing in mind. You might think you have no one now but you kill me then you'll truely be alone."

Spreading my arms out I left myself wide open for any attack that might come. Gyvien just looked at me and then the dagger. As she picked it up I honestly started to wonder if she would really do this. Even so I wasn't going to back down. Suddenly without warning she fell to her knees and let out as yell as if she was being attacked. Just as quickly as it happened it was over. Looking at me she made an attempt to take me up on my offer but before she could strike it happened again. Suddenly it all became clear. Somehow this night was affecting her as well. Gyvien was a dampiel. A person with both human and vamp blood in her. I then remembered something Liven said. She told us her vampire side seemed to weaken. She was usually very calm while Gyvien on the other hand had much anger. Was the vampire side of Gyvien trying to fight her human side for control? After what seemed like forever she finally calmed down and took several deep breaths. She seemed slightly confused for a moment when she looked at me again. Kneeling next to her I said "I had no idea what was happening to you." She seemed unsure of what to say so I just continued and told her "Just try to keep a clear mind for now. I know what it's like." Gyvien obviously didn't know what I was talking about and said "How could you possibly know what this is like? We may be related but we're also different Rudy." With a sigh I said in a grim tone "Trust me when I say we're more alike than you think. I'll explain it to you in a moment."

Getting up I left Gyvien to try and calm herself a little more as I went over to Myra. Nearly breaking down she said "You have no idea how glad I am to see you." She seemed a bit shaken but overall was ok. I made an attempt to try and hug her but had forgotten about her wound for a moment. Backing away as Myra winched in pain I took one look at her shoulder and knew I was right. It was a bullet wound. While it wasn't too bad I knew that if the bullet was logged in there it would cause much more pain. I took a moment to sit her down up against the wall and said "I can help get rid of some of that pain Myra. But the problem is that until I'm done it's going to feel much worse. Do you trust me?" It was a silly question but I had a feeling she wouldn't exactly agree with the idea if I told her exactly what I would do. Without a word Myra just nodded. I took a moment rip a bit of the fabric of her clothing away from that area so I could see what I was doing a little better. As I reached for my dagger she suddenly got the idea where this was headed having seen me do the same thing to myself the other night. Even so Myra stayed calm and tried not to worry about it. I knew she wasn't looking forward to this but she wasn't going to hate it as much as me. While it would help her in the end I knew for a few moments this would hurt like hell. The last thing I wanted to do was hurt Myra or my sister in any way. It broke my heart to hear her yell as I cut into her skin with my dagger. However it was done almost as soon as it had begun. While the new injury wasn't exactly going to feel good at least it wasn't going to be as painful as having a bullet stuck inside of you.

For the time being everyone was quiet as I cleaned off my dagger on my pants. Looking at me Myra said "I don't understand what's going on. I should have been able to dodge that shot." It was time to let Myra know what was happening. "I'm just going to be quick about this Myra. Something about tonight is affecting us. You and me have lost just about every power and advantage we have. To make matters worse the urge to feed is constant. Meanwhile bastards such as Lantis are getting a huge boost in power. In other words the weakened vampires are pretty much being killed off because they refuse to feed." Myra seemed to understand fully and I was sure it answered her questions about why she must have been feeling weak. For now however we were all just resting in that alley. As I looked at Myra I noticed for the first time that her hair seemed to be chopped. Overall it looked pretty bad. While I wasn't one to point things like that out to make people feel bad I did feel the need to help her with that. Drawing my dagger once more I asked for a second time "Do you trust me Myra?" With a slight chuckle she said "Provided it doesn't involve more bullets then the answer is yes." Leaning closer to her I gently got her to tilt her head foward. With a quick swipe I had cut away the uneven hair. The end result was a shorter hairstyle that came down to her shoulders instead of going past them a bit. Once Myra knew what I had done she asked seemingly a bit annoyed "So you didn't think I lost enough hair already?" I was going to explain why I did so when a voice suddenly let itself be known.

"Come on now my dear. I think you look better with the shorter hair."

I knew exactly who that voice belonged to. Jumping up I got in front of Myra and Gyvien as I came face to face with Lantis. Keeping my hand on the handle to my katana I was ready for whatever he had in mind. Laughing he seemed to ignore the fact I was ready to fight and said "I can see he cares about you greatly Myra. It's going to be a shame however. As much as I'd like to show up for the wedding I'm afraid it's going to be canceled by the funeral." Feeling another episode of anger coming on I shouted "Save it! I don't know what the f*** you want but if you'll looking to attack them then you'll have to get by me first." As with last time it seemed like all involved were surprised by my outburst. Lantis on the other hand just continued to push it. "It's been so long since I've seen a child with such anger. You remind me of myself Rudy." Getting even more annoyed I said "That's where your wrong! I'm nothing like you!" This only seemed to amuse him more. Turning away Lantis said "Well you might be right about that." Looking back toward me he suddenly brought up the one thing I feared the most and asked "But what about the Blue Devil?" As soon as he said that I knew I was screwed. There was now no way of trying to slowly explain things to Gyvien and Myra. Either I'd have to flat out tell them or let Lantis do it for me.

Looking back at them I saw that Myra was confused about this turn of events. As for Gyvien I was pretty sure she knew who he was. The look on her face seemed to be pleading with me and hoping that what she was thinking was not true. Sadly I wouldn't be able to provide that kind of comfort. Rather than try to sugarcoat it I just got straight to the point. "The vampire he is refering to is young but he's almost as vicious as the older ones. When he was 13 years old he took out a whole group of hunters on his own. He saw his father attacked and knocked out cold as another hunter forced him to watch. However at the time he believed they had killed him. Not being able to control himself he lashed out. There was only one survivor. The only reason why he got away is because once the boy knew his father was alive he saw what kind of trouble a hasty choice can lead to. That was the last time anyone saw him. However he's still alive. He resurfaced earlier tonight when he attacked his sister....." As much as I didn't want to finish I knew I had no choice. Taking a deep breath I said "That sister is named Gyvien." I didn't want to face them after that and turned away as I spoke "The taking of one innocent life is bad enough Myra. The loss and guilt of seven is worst. If you knew me when I was younger and had met my father you would think there was no way we could be related. He was always calm and in control. Not even the smallest bit of blood could get to him. However I was worse. The smell of blood could bring about violent action I didn't even know I was capable of. Watching those I cared about get hurt was also something to cause me to lose control. Following that incident I managed slowly bring myself under control. It's the reason why I try to favor peaceful solutions. However this night is only bringing back those instincts I've tried to live with along with those painful memories."

Once I was done talking I was about to face them again. However I stopped as Lantis laughed at me. Clearly he was not finished. "And to this day you don't have a single clue do you?" Facing him once more I was about ready to try to finish him for good. As much as I didn't like fighting I knew there would be no peaceful solution here. Someone was going to die. However I wanted to hear him out and see what kind of wild s*** he had to say now. In that calm tone that was starting to make me sick he said "Don't think for a moment that I haven't been watching you Rudy. Your starting to doubt things aren't you? Your wondering if what you have known your whole life has been nothing but a lie." Nearly snapping once more I said "Get to the f****** point! Your not the first to mention this so called truth and it's making me sick! Just get this s*** over with!" Lantis looked to be enjoying each moment but when he did he was quick and to the point. "All your life you've been led to believe your mother was a vampire her whole life. That's just simply not true my boy. She was a vampire hunter but the rest is false. She was born a human and got into the way of someone dangerous. She had no idea what she was getting into and paid for it with her life. However the vampire that killed her got careless and perhaps a bit cocky. Call it a big mistake if you will. He fed from this woman and left her for dead without knowing that he had turned her into a vampire by mistake. As much as she didn't trust him she let your father help her adjust. Soon she fell for him and then the rest is as they say history." I was pretty surprised by all of this to say the least but there was just one thing on my mind. Afraid of where this was headed I asked calmly "And just how the hell do you know all this?" Lantis just laughed as his calm tone turned to a much darker tone.

"Because she was the best meal I've had in years."

I'll bet many of you didn't see that ending coming!
Now that I've got this post over with I'm turning things over to Asi and Kalah. For now I don't want anyone else showing up. This is just between Myra, Rudy, Gyvien and Lantis ^_~

This is gonna be in 3rd persona fer once... ^^ Heh, so then I can add metaphors.



Gyvien

***

Gyvien stood there, frozen. When she had sensed Lantis coming... the words which Rudy spoke seemed to get fuzzy. As he whispered to his... to Myra, she had sensed his presense. That voice... echoing in her mind, which was far worse then the vampiric or human sides which also nestled with in her..
I am coming..
She had begun to back up, ignoring Rudy and Myra s she stared horrified... seeing that shadowy figure upon the roof, standing there like a god. She had backed up so quickly her back suddenly slammed against the hard stone wall of the building behind her, and she gazed horrified upwards.
You remember. Good.

Gyvien cringed at the thoughts... until Lantis spoke, and Rudy whirled around. Gyvien was horrified... her hands began to shake, as she slowly slunk to the ground, her upper body pressed against her knees as she stared up at Lantis, not taking his eyes of him... but she didn't want to look at him, she had to.

She listened as Rudy and Lantis spoke... and she barely noticed the vulgar words which Rudy had spoken as well. She was in a phase... a daze... a bizzare nightmare which she so horribly wanted to end. Anything but Lantis... she wanted any body but Lantis here. Just the idea of him... made her sick, and now seeing him made her memories come crashing down like a sickly twisted wave. Nothing terrified Gyvien... nothing but the past which she so terribly tried to hide. She had done it well... no one knew of her real past, or the true happenings behidn it. Rudy assumed it was bad... but he also assumed it wasn't worse than what he knew of Myra or himself. But she never told him what happened the night Yuar and herself went away... the night they were attacked. No one knew except herself.
And Lantis.

Then... after hearing the story about how Rudy... Rudy killed all those hunters when he was little...
That was him? Yuar told me that story long ago... as a warning to always control my anger. Yuar... how did..
But then she was snapped into reality with Lantis's cool yet ever-cold and dead voice ripping at her ears. She wanted to scream, to fight... to make him stop talking- anything for she hated his voice and ... was simply mortified. But he kept talking... until the point when he spoke those last, glass-shattering words.

"Because she was the best meal I've had in years."

Gyvien froze like a terrified deer stuck in the headlights of some car. If that happened... that meaned that... that Lantis had changed Rudy's mother... and if Lantis had changed Rudy's mother... then they... were... some how.. related. If Rudy was related to Lantis... then Gyvien was some how distantly related as well, since she was related to Rudy. This fact made her sick to her stomach... her brother... was related to the one being.. that one sickly, twisted and corrupted vampire...

"No..no... no..." Gyvien whispered to herself, clutching her neck with her hands as she stared downwards into the shadows with her icy, liquid-blue eyes filled with disbelief and horror. Horror of the truth of the story. Her brother had the blood of Lantis with in him... Lantis... was that the reason she could hear his voice so well when they were together? Was that blood a mere factor in which Lantis could haunt her mind? Or was it just the fact... th e fact that some part of him was in her brother... in her family.
Then the memory came... Gyvien tried to stop it, tried to set it aside and not to worry but it came anyway. Silence ensued the air but gyvien was shaking horribly...
the memory...
(Warning... ^^; This part might get a little risque or sexual... nothing graphic, but just the concept of it. )

Gyvien had ran... just a little dampiel girl, just as innocent and scared as she was. She had seen the blood fly of her protector... Yuar... the one and only person whom she really remembered ever being there for her. Everyone else had casted her outside as a loner... a nuisance and a threat. Yuar had accepted her... and he wasn't even a dampiel, but yet at least he had accepted her. Gyvien was thinking that perhaps not all Vampires were bad... only the few who tortured her when she was nothing but an infant. That would all change... forever.
Now she had been swung into an alleyway, and was staring at the eyes of a hungery beast. A vampire named Lantis. His eyes stared down at her... smiling in a sly, sick way as he grasped her wrist tightly. She couldn't move... he was too powerful for her small body to jerk away from. Yuar's dagger was pressed inside her boot, but she knew even if she managed to get it out it couldn't save her... Yuar had taught her which enemies to know you can defeat, and which you should flee from.
But she couldn't flee.

" Come... come with me. You are with me now, not that pathetic fool..." Lantis said, as he jerked Gyvien's arm and began walking down the dark way of the alley, away from the street where little light was seen from teh moon. Lantis turne dhis head back, looking past Gyvien's horrified blue eyes as he sneered in hatred..
"Oro..." He spat as he kept walking an dGyvien tried to pull away... but she was speechless, and Lantis kept pulling her forward. Why was this vampire getting her? Why did those other vampires attack Yuar? What did they want? What does this vampire want? She was so lost and confused... not knowing what purpose this served. She didn't know that Lantis had a long-going rivalry and hatred for Yuar before even Myra was born. She didn't know that Lantis had betrayed Yuar and lied about him, causing Yuar to be outcasted from his family which he loved. She never knew that Lantis sent otu hunters after Yuar night after night for sheer enjoyment- like a hunter sending out the dogs. She never knew how Lantis caused Yuar to change... or that Lantis was using GYvien to get back at Yuar. But it was more then that as well... Gyvien had no idea, that Lantis deemed Gyvien as a threat. That he spoke the words to Oyar..
" Attack Yuar, and bring a great backup for yourself. Yuar is a fighter, as much as I hate to spit the words before you. He'll have a dampiel with him however... which will be his weakness. Go for her, and Yuar will do anything. Let her get away however... I believe she could be of use to me, and an enjoyment all the same." Followed by a.. " Any dampiel trained under Yuar needs to be broken back down. We can't have any more hunters against us... and if Yuar trained her right, she'd be the ring leader."
Lantis even had no idea how his words were ever truer...

Gyvien followed lantis, unwillingly, as he dragged her into a dark corner which was inbetween two thick buildings. no one went there... for the aura which expelled from that place reeked of his aura. But he dragged her there... and that was were the nightmare really began for her. If seeing blood spilled because of her wasn't enough... it was what Lantis intentions were. Lantis knew that beating her down wouldn't be enough to break her... besides, Gyvien despite being young, was strikingly beautiful. Her father's eyes along with her human mother's attractive beauty was some asset Gyvine was born with. Although an asset it didn't become, but rather a burden. Her beauty was one thing which attracted her hunters to her... and not only beat her, but try to seduce her- willing or not, as well. It was a curse which she could not break... and Lantis was the first to make it clear that her looks were a curse.
"Scream and Yuar won't live.." Lantis spoke, softly and gently but yet cutting like daggers. Gyvien had no idea why he would say that... until Lantis pulled himself close to her suddenly, placing his hand upon her back and slowly bringing herself to him. Then she understood... and then, that night became the curse in itself.

But it wasn't the last. Lantis was pleased with his prize, and he knew he did not have to leave Earth yet. Having an expectant Myra back in the Night City, he did not have to leave for several days. So he kept his new found, 'prize' with him... and it was then, that he heard Oyar's news of Yuar's death. That pleased him as well... and finally after many encountesr with Gyvien, he simply shoved her into a dark alleyway after beating her merclessly. Then he simply left... telling her of how he, 'enjoyed' her company... and he left her, after whipping her into submission and telling her of Yuar's passing. It was there, that Gyvien lost her innocence completely and she turned. Turned ... and vowed to never remember her past again...

But she was bound by the chains of her past...

"NO!!!!" Gyvien suddenly screamed, burrying her head into her knees as she tried to make herself as small as possible.... but Lantis then spoke.
"Ah, what pleasent guests we have here. Perhaps I should show your sister the sights in this fair city?" Lantis smiled coyly, as Rudy harshly worded some thing back. But Gyvien was frozen... she wouldn't move. Her human side was in control and would offer her no fuel in which to move onward. Her only hope was that Lantis would leave... leave her forever.

But she would find out, that Lantis wasn't done ... and the night was far from over.




(Gyvien won't be much of a fighter until Lantis leaves, and I'm rethinking and I don't want Yuar to meet Lantis yet. When they meet, Yuar won't give him such a fair welcoming of just verbal abuse. ^^; I think I've shown some good reasons in my post of why not... lol.)

Wood Water City (The Alleys)
:::7:18PM:::
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAaaaaaaaaahhhhh...."
For the third time tonight, something was sending a horrible pain into my shoulder. But unlike Drake and Gyvien, Rudy was not meaning to hurt me, he was getting the bullet out so it would eventually get better.

But that didnt stop it from hurting like hell.

Within moments, however, the sharp white pain abated and became a dull red ache. It still felt far from good but Id live, I told myself as I watched Rudy clean off his dagger on his jeans. Rudy. I had missed him, missed him a great deal. It made me infinately happy to see him now, to be with him again. For the first time since the scene before dawn I felt at ease. If it wasnt for him...who knows where Id be now. Killing...drinking blood....dead..
As it was I almost was killed today, because of that Vampire Hunter Drake's shot. A shot that I shouldve been able to dodge. A shot that shouldve never even came close to hitting me. But thanks to Rudy the bullet was out so it should only be a matter of time before my wound is healed. As I thought I touched the wound to check on its progress and was met with another stab of pain. Blood was still flowing out of it and it looked like it hadnt even started to heal. I frowned, my happy thoughts from a second before momentarily forgotten. Stupid bastard....I shouldve eaten him when I had the chance... I thought bitterly to myself, then I shook my head. I couldnt think like that. I looked at Rudy. He seemed to know at least a little at what was going on with us. "I dont understand whats going on....I shouldve been able to dodge that shot. And now its not even healing up..." He sighed. Apparently it was a long story.

When Rudy began talking it soon became very clear why my reflexes were so bad, and also why I was having the constant urge to feed on anything with human blood in sight. Rudy mustve been feeling it too, but he seemed to be handling it better than I did...
Suddenly it hit me. Oh my...was...was THAT why Gyvien had been trying to kill Rudy? Had he snapped, and gone after her?! I didnt want to believe it, Rudy had such a kind and gentle nature, but I knew that even the nicest people could do things they regretted. I shook my head. It was all this night's fault, it was warping people, making good people act like monstors and giving the TRUE monstors even more power.
I sighed. I knew there wasnt anything I or Rudy could do about how we were feeling, we just had to do our best to make it through this night alive. I had a feeling it would be very difficult, and so far I wasnt doing a very good job. Casting an eye on my bleeding injuries, my torn and stained clothes, and my butchered hair, I sighed. Well I certainly LOOK like a monstor...
Suddenly...."Do you trust me Myra?" It was Rudy. Hm...The LAST time he asked me that....
I gave a little laugh. "Provided it doesnt involve more bullets then the answer is yes." I looked at him with a slight smile on my face. I had no idea what he was going to do this time, but it felt good to here him say that. For a moment I took the time to marvel at that. I DID trust him...I had no idea this time last night that I could EVER trust anyone like I trust him. I felt like now that he was here nothing bad could happen and I knew that no matter what, Lantis or no Lantis I would not leave him again.
Rudy leaned forward and tilted my head slightly. I looked at him curiously and, had my heart not already been stopped, it probably wouldve been pounding at that moment. And then....

*FFFFFSSWWWWSSSHHHHH!* *Fump....*

Suddenly the comfortable, familiar weight of my long hair was gone, and my head felt strangely light. I jumped slightly, a bit startled and touched the edge of my now shorter hair. It stopped a little above my shoulders, and now part of the back of my neck was exposed to every breeze that happened to blow. It felt strange, to say the least. "So you didnt think I lost enough hair already?" I said, a bit disgruntled. I obviously hadnt been expecting that.

But I expected what happened next even less.

It was Lantis, Lantis had found me! Hearing his voice was worse by far than the pain of the bullet, Gyviens attack, and Rudys surgery all in one. It twisted my insides up with despair, but I got to my feet quickly. No.... I thought to myself, feeling the despair transform into intense anger. Im not going with him again...NEVER again...even if it means I have to die to keep it from happening....
It seemed like Rudy was even angrier than I was. He pushed himself up so he was in front of me and Gyvien and got ready to fight. For a brief moment I was reminded of the scene on the roof, when Rudy declared that Lantis would die. He wore that same deadly look on his face now.
It was then that Lantis decided to comment on this very fact.
"Its been so long since Ive seen a child with such anger." He smiled that disgustingly knowing smirk. "You remind me of myself, Rudy."
Fire and lightning danced in the blue of Rudys eyes. "Thats where your wrong. Im nothing like you."
Lantis shrugged, feigning defeat. "Well, you might be right about that..." Then he grinned slyly and revealed the 'ace up his sleave'.
"But what about the Blue Devil...?"
I saw Rudy visibly twitch when he heard that. I started to worry. What did Lantis know about Rudy that would make him so nervous? And what was this 'Blue Devil'? I had a feeling this wasnt going to be good.

I was right.

Rudy, shame-faced and angry at himself, went on to tell us about the 'Blue Devil'. A younger him who killed a group of hunters when his fathers life was in danger. Who started killing and didnt stop until he saw that his father was alive and well. Who, as a result of this horrid night, resurfaced for the first time in 4 years and attacked Gyvien. "No...." I whispered to myself in horror, but it wasnt because I was ashamed or shunning Rudy for what hed done back then. It was because my heart ached for him. I knew what it was like to have such a horrible guilt on my consience, to feel every day a loathing for what had happened in the past.
As if hed been reading my mind, he spoke again. "The taking of one innocent life is bad enough Myra. The loss and guilt of seven is worse."
I wanted to argue with him. I wanted to tell him that what he did was in self defense, and though it mightve been wrong he killed those people in order to protect his family, rather than for the sole purpose of killing like what I did. I wanted to say that I wouldnt judge him for what he did, because in the long run he was a way better person than I was.

Only Lantis wasnt about to give me the chance. He started weedling Rudy, getting his anger up, taunting him about his family, his Mother, and then suddenly......suddenly his tauntings turned serious. Now Lantis seemed to be telling a story, a history lesson of Rudys family past, and then it became all too clear what he was saying.

Lantis WAS Rudys family.

He had changed a human female by mistake, had made her an aristocrat and left her for dead. That changed human met Rudys father and eventually Rudy was born.
If it werent for Lantis Rudy wouldnt be here.
I shook my head. I couldnt believe that this monstor was in any way related to Rudy, I wouldnt believe it! The difference between them was like night and day, dark and light, evil and good. And though Rudy would argue that he wasnt as good as he seemed he was a hell of a lot better than Lantis. No one was perfect, everyone makes mistakes, but the difference was how strong you are, how strong your will was to try harder not to. THAT was the difference.
"Ah and Gyvien, my how youve grown...If I wouldve known how...wonderful...you would have turned out to be maybe I wouldve kept you around a little while longer...." Lantis said, giving Gyvien a look that made my blood cold. She backed away from him, with such a look of unbridled terror on her face I never thought Id see. Though we never got along, she was Rudys family, and seeing her like that was the last straw.
Picking up the dagger that Rudy used I stepped forward to stand beside him, my shoulder against his. Though it hurt my shoulder to do this I didnt care. The anger swirling around inside of me was enough to dull any pain I felt. I had had enough of Lantis.

"Get away from her Lantis. Now." I said through gritted teeth, a cold, dead tone in my voice that could only mean I was angry to the point of exploding. "Youve messed with my family enough, and this will be the LAST time you hurt the Summers family."
Lantis pretended to be sad by what I had said, but I still saw amusement gleaming in his eyes. "But Dear Myra, I took you in when your parents proved they couldnt raise you like an aristocrat. I am your family now." He said the words 'your parents' with a sneer in his voice that made a lump form in my throat. I shook my head. "No, you were never my family! You killed my family because you knew they and I would be a threat to you one day! Because when it comes down to it your just a scared little kid that goes on killing so no one could stand up to him!" I pointed at Rudy. "He is my family now, and his family is my family. And if anyone messes with our family..." I felt the anger swallow up my soul as I looked at Lantis dangerously. "I take it personally....."

For a moment it was quiet except for me panting in anger. And then something happened that wouldve startled me had I not been absolutely furious.
He laughed. Loudly.
"Dear Myra, such an interesting little story you have come up with! A scared little kid indeed, where DO you get these things?" He said with a big grin on his face and laughed again.
"HAHAHAHAA.....but I suppose its time to get down to business.." he said, instantly sobering up. "Im so sorry you feel that way Myra, I wouldve liked to help you become greater than you are. You wouldve made an excellent Aristocrat..." He shrugged and faded into the shadow. I gulped. Id seen this before. Suddenly his voice rang out again, seeming to come from everywhere at once.

"But theres no use think of what might have been...."

Phew.....it seemed like that took me forever!!! ^-^ Well I wouldve liked to post for Farwell but I took so long writing Myras that now Im feeling restless. Ill probably post for Farwell after I go jogging or something. ^-~

[Master Rudy]

Well I was going to post elsewhere but ran out of time to get that one typed up. Instead I'm gonna get my next one here done and then hope I've got the time to take care of any other RPG's by the end of the week. At least the good news is that I have all of next week for posting due to Spring Break! ^_^

WARNING-Suggestive comment near the end!

Rudy Summers
7:20 PM
------
This sudden and highly unexpected turn of events sickened me. As much as I didn't want to face it and as much as I didn't want to believe it I knew I had to face it. The serious expression and tone of his voice said it all. Lantis had killed my mother and in the process turned her into a vampire. Because of this that made us related.

After some heated words between him and Myra he disappeared. However the three of us knew he was still around. During what was sure to be a brief break Myra tried to talk to me while Gyvien stayed quiet. Something was troubling her but right now we had to worry about being ambused. As the three of us scanned the rooftops she asked "Are you going to be ok Rudy?" While it wasn't easy info to digest I tried to be strong and told her "It's gonna take time to get over but I'm not going to worry myself with that right now." Thinking back to the other thing that happened I said "It's remembering my past that's really bothering me." Walking over to me Myra tried to comfort me by saying "You can't focus on it too much Rudy. Besides it was in self defense. For all you know you could have died if you didn't act." Deep down I knew she had a point but it still didn't mean I liked what happened. "Maybe so Myra but the thing is I never wanted to hurt any humans. Up until recently my main goals have been just finding Gyvien and then trying to live as peaceful a life someone like me possibly could."

Just then from all around us the voice of Lantis rung out. "Well that's where your problem lies. You've got the killer instinct but you've been taught that the humans are innocent. You've even tried to become friends with some of them. Why don't you just let go and claim the honor of becoming a true Aristocrat?" It just sounded so easy. Just let go and join in on the slaughter of humans. However I wouldn't give Lantis the pleasure of seeing me crack under the pressure. Looking all around me with my katana ready I said "So it's an honor to kill humans? I didn't know you guys actually kept score. However know one thing Lantis. I am NOT an Aristocrat and I'm damn proud of it!" For a moment Myra looked at me as if I had just insulted all vampires but I was about to explain myself. "You say there's honor? I fail to see any kind of honor. For your infomation there is no honor in it at all. If killing innocent people is what it takes to be respected as a vampire then I'm glad I'm not one of these so called Aristocrats."

At this point Lantis was already very serious. However I soon learned he can be much more serious than he currently was at the moment. "So your turning your back on your race are you?" his voice asked from what seemed to be everywhere. With a smirk I told him "Call it what you will Lantis. It may seem like I'm starting to hate what I am but I'm not. The immortality is a big plus along with every other little bonus that comes along with being a vampire. However all good things do come with disadvantages. It must be driving you nuts knowing I've just learned to live with them and that I will not give in. I will admit that it is bit ironic that if you didn't turn my mother that there is a very good chance I wouldn't be here. As much as I don't wish that kind of thing on a human I will thank you Lantis. You sealed your own fate on that night all those years ago and if it wasn't for you then there would be no telling how much longer your terror would go on for." Stopping for a moment I waited for a response but it seemed like it was his turn to be speechless. Deciding to end the small talk I said "What I guess I'm trying to say is that since I won't join you your only choice is to kill me." I knew I was seriously pushing my luck but I was willing to throw it all away if I had a chance to end this. Besides all I needed was one good distraction. If I could make Lantis focus on only me then ti might give Myra or Gyvien a chance to finish him while he was distracted with me.

Finally appearing once more Lantis stood at the end of the ally for a few moments. Without a word he drew a katana and took up a stance that was clearly for attacking. As I got into my defensive stance he said "So be it. You've chosen your path Rudy. However it leads to only pain and suffering. Tonight I'm going to make sure I put an end to both the Summers and Link bloodline." With that annoying smile of his he finally caused me to reach my breaking point when he said "However once you and your little b**** are dead I'll make sure I get the chance to sample your sister. And I'm not talking about her blood." With a yell filled with rage I rushed Lantis as both Myra and Gyvien yelled at the same time.

"NO! RUDY!!!"
"YOU FOOL! Your gonna get killed!"

However it was too late for that. Before I could land a single blow Lantis had already disarmed me with surprising speed and with a hard blow to the back of the neck sent me down to the ground. As the world went dark the only thing I knew was that my anger had once again defeated me. Now the two people I cared for the most were at his mercy.

Myra
Gyvien
Please forgive me......

~~~~Myra Link~~~~
Wood Water City (The Alleys)
:::7:29 PM:::
It all happened too fast.
Lantis struck Rudy down.
Rudy!!!
He fell to the ground at Lantis's feet.
This cant be happening---
He didnt get up.
He cant be dead. He WASNT dead, dammit!
The truth was I wasnt sure. It was very dark and thanks to this night I was beginning to loathe I couldnt see very well at all. All I saw was the flash of moonlight reflecting off of Lantis's blade and Rudy fall to the ground. And he still wasnt moving. For a moment I felt something resembling madness rise up within me.
Hold on Myra....dont go charging in all gung-ho..it doesnt do Rudy any good if you just go get yourself killed. Try to think reasonably for once in your life....
Some part of me was trying to be reasonable, and I felt torn between doing what I know I should and doing what I strongly felt was the right thing to do. And at the moment I wasnt doing either. I was frozen, and then Lantis spoke again.

"I knew he was weak but that was too easy..." Lantis smiled and put his sword away, then he walked up and stood right in front of me. I was very frightened. No one scared me on this Earth more than that one person right in front of me. Even when I looked up to Lantis, when I adored him and hung on to every word he said I had this fear of him, his very aura seemed to command fear. And now with him staring at me with that horrible false nice-guy look on his face, knowing full well that I knew he wasnt going to let me live, the fear threatened to take over my very being. "H..H-hes...a lot...stronger th-than you..." I stuttered, trying to look in his eyes with defiance, though I myself was feeling weak.
Lantis laughed, feeling entirely in control of the situation. "Strong? He cant even protect himself, let alone his pet B*tch, or his sister..." He turned his gaze to Gyvien.
Good. Hes not looking at me anymore. For a moment I was relieved that something had taken Lantis's attention from me. Then the anger I had felt before came back full force. NO. Hes not going to get Gyvien. If Rudy was....consious..he would NEVER let Lantis get near her. If anything happened to her he would be heartbroken. Family was very important to him. Family....
I narrowed my eyes as I felt a determination come over me. Dont worry Rudy...You started it and Ill finish it. Lantis will die tonight.
As he walked towards Gyvien I threw the dagger I was holding at Lantis as hard as I could. The dagger hit Lantis in the back of the neck and he stopped abruptly. Standing up straight I challenged Lantis. “Leave her out of this. From now on your fight is with me Lantis. You have gone too far and I wont allow you and your actions to slander the great name of Aristocrats. My Father was a great man and if there is anyone that should have the title of Aristocrats then its him. You are no better than some changed human like Roland who has the power of Aristocrats only to abuse them.” At the words ‘changed human’ I thought I saw for a split second an expression of fear and disgust on his face, but if it was there at all it was quickly gone. “You know Myra, you are a firey one, arent you....I always thought of you as part of my family but if thats not so then theres nothing stopping me from having a bit of fun with you.” He paused a moment to grin sickly. “But then again that never stopped me before anyway..”
Something about what he said made me feel sick inside. Dont let him touch you.. An inner voice whispered. Not like I planned on letting him anywhere near me. Once Gyvien was safely away from the area I planned on taking Lantis out for good, or I would die trying. Though I wasnt exactly sure how I was going to do that...
Glancing over at Gyvien I saw she had only frozen in place. What was she doing?! “Gyvien!” I yelled, snapping her out of her daze. “Get out of here!! RUN!!”
She looked at me with pure panic on her face. “Th...the last time I ran...he...he caught me....!” Her voice sounded like that of a little girls, and it was then I realised what had happened to Rudys poor sister. I stared at her in disbelief. “No....Gyvien....I...I had no idea...Im....Im sorry....” But my words sounded feeble even to me. What could you say to someone? What words of comfort could you possibly say to take away the pain of such a horrible experience? But this was only one more reason to make sure Lantis could never hurt anyone again. And the only way to do that was to kill the bastard.
“You know, now that I think about it, I have an even better idea.”
Surprised, I turned to see Lantis holding Rudy in one hand by the scruff of his jacket. My eyes widened and my mouth opened but no sound came out. No...he had Rudy!
Lantis smiled and ruffled Rudys hair as he hung limp from Lantis’s grasp. “Rather than wasting any time around here, I think Ill take the time to acquaint myself with my little ‘nephew’. He has amused me greatly, and, after all, one MUST keep close ties with family...” He winked at Gyvien causing her to shudder. Still rather speechless I managed to squeak out, “Let....Rudy......go..!!”
Lantis grinned and melted halfway into a building. “Oh, Myra, you dont mind if I borrow your boyfriend do you of course not! Now say byeee...” He said cheerfully, the only thing visible was Rudy and the hand holding him. Lantis grabbed Rudys hand with his other hand and made it wave as he seeped farther into the building. Tears coming to my eyes I ran up to try to grab Rudy but by the time I got there Lantis and Rudy were already gone. “NO!!! DAMMIT!!!!” I yelled, slamming my fists into the wall and letting the tears fall free, not caring who saw them. “You BASTARD!!!! You......Rudy.....” I crumpled up against the wall and sobbed, barely hearing Gyvien come up behind me. There was only one clear thought that shone through the tears.
Rudy was in the hands of the enemy.
And it was all my fault.

^-^ Glad I got this done! But now I have to go to work -.- Tomorrow Ill stop putting Farwells much needed post off for sure ^-~

[Bulbasaur4]

oooo... did I mention how I love t his RPG? *grinz* 'Tis awesome!




Yuar Oro




The night flowed through Yuar's hair like a rippling wind as he swiftly dashed amongst the shadows. Darting like a swift predator, even the vampires whom would gaze his way would not detect him- he was filled with adrenaline an dthe words of Vylianne still ebbing at his mind. He refused to believe her words- she had been wrong before, she could easily be wrong again.

She makes a lot of predictions about people... vampires... and dampiels. She's always right. But not about me... no one will ever be right when it comes to me. I will prove her, and everyone wrong... No one must die. I will protect them.

Yuar bit his lip slightly as he felt the fangs which were in his mouth. It was strange... but even as he run, he seemed to focus in upon those fangs. They were what made him who he was, or it was one of the key elements. The only thin gwas.. he never really noticed them in full, until now- in t he midst ofo running through the darkness of the night. The moon's gentle rays shinned upon his outfit as his jacket flowed over the air like a swift current from a river. His movements were flowing and effortless, obviously he had talent before the night gave him even more power... but Yuar only had one talent he wanted. The ability to strike with revenge. He would do it... to Lantis, ever since he had a rivalry with Yuar they had felt hot connections. BU twhen his family was split apart... Yuar had a thirst greater than for blood- it was for revenge. Lantis now had to place his hands upon his sister... the only family member he had left. There would be absolutely no way Yuar would let that last. Even if he had to rip Lantis's arms off with his own knife, he would do it. Anything, to protect.

"NOOOOO!" Yuar suddenly stopped dead in his tracks, the hair upon his head abruptly swishing forward as his eyes darted amongst the s hadows. That scream... it belong to Gyvien.
I am upon the right trail... Yuar thought, as he swiftly made a decision for where exactly the sound came from. He did sense it, and immediatly he ran straight towards a dumpster. Jumping up and sailing through the air, he landed upon the dumpster and immediatly recoiled to leaping upon a roof top. From there, he ran towards the sound... straining his ears and eye sight. It seemed however, that the sound was much farther away than Yuar had anticapated.
Gyvien traveled far... Yuar thought slightly, as he continued to run after the sound he had heard. As he ran, a sickening feeling came to his stomach. As if some one was near.
Yuar stopped short, hesitating for a mere second as he glanced around with his striking emerald-gaze, looking at those leering shadows which seemed to laugh in Yuar's face. Swallowing hard... Yuar decided that even ifi there was some one near him, he had to keep going to get Gyvien. She was his main concern at this moment.

Thrusting forward, Yuar leapt over many rooftops until finally he stopped at the edge of one, hearing voices below. Gazing down, he saw two figures in the darkness... and it shocked him all the same.

Myra was there... his sister, Myra. She was upon the ground, and it seemed she was crying... her eyes were liquid with salty tears, as her fists smashed against the ground. Gyvien was standing, frozen like a statue but yet standing next to Myra. Myra just cried... sobbed upon the spot, and it worried Yuar. They were near the wall of the building which Yuar was standing upon, and he watched them for a brief moment.
What happened here? Yuar thought, wondering why his sister was crying if Lantis was not near.
LANTIS! Yuar suddenly thought, as he gazed about quickly... but all too soon, Yuar realized he was no where to be found. The smell of Myra's blood lingered in the air... and it only came to be a short moment before Yuar sensed the after-aura of two others presenses. One was light, yet radiant in all the sense of the word... Rudy's. The other, was far darker and more sinister... with many lies and swirling turmoils unfolded with in it's grasp. Lantis. They had been here... but now they were gone.

Yuar softly leapt into the air, and t hen billowed down as he landed behind Gyvien and Myra. Nothing but the soft footsteps upon the concrete seemed to be heard... as Yuar's soft yet serious voice raised over the deadly air.
"Myra... Gyvien?"

Instantly Myra whirled around with a face filled with tears and yet eyes red with rage. Gyvien also whirled around, but her face was filled with fear and bewilderment... as if she expected to be struck down like a dog. It starteld Yuar a bit... to see Myra filled with so much anger, and Gyvien with so much fear. What was happening?
You can't protect them all... Vylianne's voice ran through Yuar's head, but he made a brief relapse of it.

"Myra, it's me. Yuar... it's alright." Yuar's voice was some-what comforting, as he held his hands up and gazed at her softly with his emerald gaze. Even though Yuar and Myra had never really been raised together as a family due to those circumstances... Yuar still felt a connection with her. He had watched her several years when she lived up where most Vampires had roamed... and he had watched in the shadows as she had been raised. Despite that she knew little to nothing about him, he still cared for her. Myra was his little sister... the one whom he only had left.

"He TOOK HIM! DAMN HIM! He's GONE YUAR! GONE!"

Myra suddenly shouted, her eyes blind with tears as she stood upwards, but yet her figure seemed crippled... as if some one had just given her a devastating blow to the ribs. Gyvien was silent, watching...
"Who Myra? Who took who?" Yuar asked, although he already had quite the idea of who had taken who. Lantis had to have taken Rudy... but why? Rudy's blood was not with in the air, so Lantis couldn't have killed Rudy... but why take Rudy? Why not keep Myra or just simply kill Rudy?
" Lantis left with Rudy. He took Rudy. They're related... and Lantis took him. " Gyvien suddenly spoke softly, her voice shaking yet some-how managing to be strong.
"They're related?" Yuar replied, his eyes widening with a bit of bewilderment and curiosity all the same.
"Yeah." Was all Gyvien had to offer.

Yuar decided that perhaps later was the best plan of action of when to ask more about how or why Rudy was related to Lantis. If RUdy was related, it had to be distant... for curious reasons. Yuar nodded slightly, as he gazed up to the night sky and then back to myra. Placing a gentle hand upon her shoulder, he took his other hand and placed it under her chin. Despite her angry state, she simply gazed into Yuar's eyes as he made an expression of simpathy and inner anger- which was only seen through the flicker of his emerald gaze. She was vulnerable right now... to have some one she loved so dearly, be ripped away. Despite Yuar's history... and how he portrayed himself now, he knew some what how she felt. All too often he had given his heart to some one, to have them strip it away. His family first, Gyvien, his sister... and now it seemed as though he was going to lose his sister all over again. He didn't want to see the tears in her eyes... it hurt him to see her like this. He was her brother, he was supposed to protect his sister when she was hurt. Brothers were supposed to protect their sisters so they didn't have to experience any pain! Yuar had failed... he had failed so many people in so many ways. The guilt he felt was almost death-like... and he couldn't stand to see her cry.

"Don't cry Myra..." Yuar said, his voice almost pleading and choked up a bit, but he managed to cover-it up quite well.

So Lantis now wanted to get in with the Summers. He just had to take Rudy... to hurt his sister. Had to cause his sister the grief of feeling responsible for Rudy's capture... damn lantis, damn him.
When I get my hands upon Lantis... I will not hesitate to kill him. It will be a spar that has been burning with in my blood for a very, very long time.

Yuar growled to himself, as he gave Myra stern look.
"Myra listen... listen to me. I know that you really haven't gotten the chance to know me in these few days... heck, you didn't even know you had a brother. Let me tell you this- ever since you were born, I watched over you. Though you didn't know it, I was there when you even were training with Lantis. Though I regret not stepping in, I still made sure you were safe. Even with this night and all it's events, I still don't regret it yet. I was able to talk to you instead of just watch you with my eyes and become mute to you because of the lies which were spread. I know how much you care for Rudy, Myra, and I don't want the thing which you've loved so much taken away from you. I never want you to have to experience that, for no one deserves that type of inner pain. But now, as the moon's rays are the strongest, I can feel that the night isn't over, and it won't be for a very long time. But I promise you- we will get Rudy back. We will hunt that bastard down... and get Rudy back from Lantis. I will make sure of it, I promise."

Myra seemed speechless as Yuar took a step back. His voice had been filled with passion... but towards the middle, it seemed as if Yuar was even pleading with Myra. But at the end... Yuar's voice was strong and dependable.
" I do not break my promises Myra." Yuar simply finished, as he gazed about.
"I felt the presense of Lantis upon the rooftops... if we are to track them down, then let us go after him. All three of us."

Yuar suddenly reached down into his jacket and with drew a black gun- fancy the same almost as Gyvien's, cept for lighter and far more deadly. It had been the one he retrieved at his old hide-out, where he first encountered Vylianne as a reunion.
" No one will stand in our way... if we move swiftly, we can get caught up to Lantis and redeem ourselves by obtaining Rudy back. Once we have him out of Lantis's grip, we'll be safe. And there will be NO ONE to stand in our way. Not this time... no, t his time we'll get that bastard once and for all."
At the last word of 'all', Yuar practically growled. His eyes were narrowed as he breathed silently...

I promise Lantis... you will meet a face from the dead, and it will be the last time you ever see another face again.

[Master Rudy]

OOC-Originally I was planning to hold off on my next post until Kalah posted since we had something in mind. However seeing that she couldn't do so before leaving for a few days I'm just gonna go ahead with my own post if I can get a free moment to do so ^_~

[Master Rudy]

Well I was going to type up some of this in Al Bhed since me and Asi were using that as the vampires language. However it looks like the translator we used is no longer up. If any of you know of a good replacement can you please PM me?

Be warned about this coming post. It's not exactly that violent compared to others but I'm sure you'll get the general idea. Also keep an eye out for language and suggestive comments.

Rudy Summers
Time Unknown
------
"......ink he's coming around."
"So are you going to kill him?"
"No I'm not. He still has uses. I can use him to lure his friends to us. But first I'm going to break him."

Where the hell am I?

The first thing I noticed upon trying to move was the fact that I wasn't going to be getting very far. At the moment I still had my eyes closed. However I didn't need to look to know that my arms were chained to a wall. As for those voices I was really starting to get to know the third one. As I opened my eyes my vision was a bit blurred for a moment. Still feeling a bit groggy I tried to focus on the nearest person. Standing in front of me was Lantis with a strange look on his face. For now I had no way of knowing what was on his mind. Suddenly his words came back to me and I knew that this wasn't going to go well for me. As I started to become more alert to my surroundings I saw that it appeared to be some kind of metal cell. Except for a table towards the back and a vent shaft in the ceiling the room didn't have much of intrest. Towards the back of the room were two vampires I didn't know. They worked for Lantis no doubt. However I soon learned that this was going to be between just me and him as they left us alone.

I was still a bit out of it but soon the memory of how I got here was coming back to me. Out of blind rage I tried to attack Lantis and paid for it. As we made eye contact he asked me "So did you rest well Rudy?" My answer was simply spitting in his face since there wasn't much I could do at the moment. Laughing to himself he said "Well that's no way to treat family." Still feeling outraged over that I voiced my opinion in a way that would make my sister proud. "F*** you Lantis." Rather that have a comment to match mine Lantis decided to use his fist instead as he punched me in the kidney. Vampire or not it was something that would hurt just about anyone. It was quickly followed up by a kick to my stomach which would have easily dropped me to my knees had I not already been chained to the wall. As I gasped for air Lantis just acted as if he didn't do anything and said "That's such terrible language your using. Looks like you've picked up one of your sister's bad habits. And here I would have thought you'd be the one that was a bad influence to Gyvien's human side." The way he said that word showed his extreme dislike of them. Still feeling a bit out of breath I looked at him and asked "What did you....do with........Myra and Gyvien?" Lantis just smiled at me and didn't say a word. It was quite unsettling because it left much up to the imagination. Finally he spoke up and told me "Well I let them go for now. I wouldn't exactly say Myra is alive but she's well. As for your sister I was wanting to spend time with her but I couldn't just leave you in the middle of a dark ally hurt like that. I must say it was a shame. We haven't seen each other in a long time."

At first his words made no sense but slowly it came together. What he said in the ally. Gyvien's fear over someone I thought she hadn't met. As soon as I got the general idea I went mad and tried to lunge at Lantis. It may have been a feeble attempt but I knew my words would reach him. "YOU F***!!! Of all the crimes one could commit you had to do THAT? TO GYVIEN!? I swear I'll f****** kill you!" It was here that Lantis took another chance to use me as a punching bag. After several more blows to my stomach he said "I find it funny that a boy with a death sentence is making threats against me." As I spit up a tiny bit of my own blood he told me "I own you an unpleasant death for the mistake of giving your mother her birth as a vampire. She may have lived twice but at least I know I will not make that mistake again. For you death will be final." I knew things were grim for me but I wasn't going to let Lantis enjoy this. Laughing over everything he just told me I said "Who would have thought the mighty evil known as Lantis would be a drama queen? I had to disrupt your little monologue but I just wanted to say that I'm not dying tonight. You can try all you want but I know for a fact that I'll live to die another day."

A small smile spread across his face exposing the tips of his fangs. "Is that so?" he asked me. Walking towards the table I saw earlier he said "I guess we'll have to step this up a notch then." Now that I was more alert I saw exactly what was on it. There were various weapons and tools for torture. This would not be good at all. As Lantis made his way back over to me I quickly saw how he was going to start this. In his hand were several pins. Before I could say a single word he had already stuck one in my left wrist. Pins in my other wrist and the palms of my hands soon followed. It didn't feel good but I knew that the worst was yet to come. Going back to the table Lantis soon returned with a nasty looking dagger. The first thing he did with it was run the blade lightly across the skin of my right arm from elbow to shoulder. As with the cut I had recived from Gyvien on my face it wasn't deep enough to cause serious damage but it was just enough to draw blood. Following that he proceeded to do the same exact thing to my left arm. However this time I could feel it cutting much deeper. As painful as it may have been I wasn't going to let Lantis have the pleasure of hearing me yell out in pain. Biting my lip I could feel my fangs cut into that a tiny bit as well. However I was willing to do just about anything to keep my mind off the pain.

Seeing that he did not get the intended results Lantis decided to go for a much more serious form of torture. As he returned to the table I watched as he put on a pair of gloves. My eyes grew wide as he turned around with the next thing in his hand. Seeing the fear in them he said "Now come on Rudy. Your mother was a very religious person while she was still a human." Stuttering a bit as I spoke I told him "W-well I don't she would have gone near one of those after her change." By now I had the idea of how Lantis did this. First he went to work on your mind before starting the real torture. As his toys got bigger and bigger he hoped he'd get a reaction out of you. Now that he saw fear I was sure he'd stick with this until he was ready to kill me. While I was thinking about all this Lantis just looked at what he held and said "Come to think of it I would have to say your right. These silver crosses burn like hell. I'd hate to go near one with exposed skin as well." As he stood next to me he slowly brought it close to my face. However just as he got within an inch there was a loud banging sound from the door. "We need you out here now sir! There's an intruder on the ship!"

So I'm on their ship I thought to myself as Lantis looked rather annoyed at this. Tossing the cross towards a corner he said "Consider yourself lucky for now Rudy because when I get back this is all going to end. Try to enjoy these last peaceful moments and quiet while you can. Soon the silence will be broken by your screaming as this peace turns into hell for you." As he walked out the door he told me one last thing before shutting it. "It'll be intresting to see if Myra really does care about people other than herself. I guess I'll learn soon enough once she sees your rotting corpse. She'll either be quite upset or mad over the fact that I didn't let her kill another person close to her." While the door may have been shut I could still hear that laugh that I had grown to hate. Each time I heard it I got chills down my spine. As I thought about the direction this had gone towards I let out a small sigh. I didn't want to die and yet it was quickly coming.

Up until two nights ago I could have cared less if I was in a situation like this. A year before I had lost my father and was alone. However everything changed in a matter of 24 hours. Now I had what was left of my family back. Gyvien was alive and well. However I would not be around to protect her. Plus there was no way I could forget about Myra. We had both lost our parents but unlike me she had to live knowing she was the one who caused her mother's death. Before yesterday she had believed everything Lantis told her. However I had shown her the truth. I was the only person in the world other than her brother that cared about her. Now she was going to lose me as well. With another sigh I starting to think about what I would have done. We haven't been together very long but I know I love her. I was going to ask her to marry me once this was all over. Now I'm never going to get the chance. As I felt the tears start to come I said outloud to myself "All because of me and the uncontrolable rage inside of me. Damn this night! Damn it to hell!" What I didn't know however was that I wasn't speaking to just myself.

"You have one minor setback and all of a sudden your all doom and gloom?"

I hadn't been expecting that at all. It seemed to ecco all over the room and come from every direction. Plus it seemed a little distorted. The voice was clearly female but I had no clue who it was. Had Gyvien or Myra found me? Not knowing where that voice had come from I started to look around. Just then it spoke once more. "Up here Rudy. I'm up here!" Directing my attention to vent up above. Whoever was up there was trying to get into my cell. After hitting the vent several times it fell away. However before it could hit the ground a hand quickly grabbed hold of it. Pretty soon the hand was followed by a figure and it was the last person I would have expected.

"YOU! Your the intruder?"

Despite the cliffhanger I'm sure you guys can figure out who is saving Rudy from what I've said in that post.

And I know I said the time was unknown but keep in mind that this is from Rudy's POV. I was thinking that perhaps he could have been out of it for about an hour or two. Because of that the time of this post will be somewhere between 8:30 and 9:30 PM ^_~
