Blood Oath ((Deth x Jack Frosty))

[InactiveCoffee]

In a land, long lost and forgotten, four races have joined forces. The entirety of the population is run by 4 leaders. Each one representing the different races. Under each leader is a council to report on the wishes of their individual peoples. Rhapsody Shanks is the newest elected leader for the Vampire Colonies. She is also the youngest to have ever been elected, so a great pressure is placed on her. Within a council meeting with her elder vampires, they tell tale of a new clan that has formed amongst the humans. A clan of hunters. This information does not bode well for the peace that has been present between the races for centuries. They confronted the leader of the humans, to no avail. His mind was clear of any knowledge of such a clan. Also, the minds of the Lycans and of the Shape-changers were free of such knowledge as well.


With this dangerous knowledge, it has fallen to Rhapsody to flush out this clan and protect her people, and the peace they held between the other races. It had long been ruled that Vampires only turn those who are willing to become part of their race, so she ruled out just turning the clan to her side. It was a rule that couldn't be broken, lest she start a war that had since long been forgotten. When she finally arrived at the whispered about cavern where this new clan was said to have laid claim, she was attacked.


She fought bravely, but was greatly outnumbered. When she thought all was lost, a man came to her rescue. A human man. He was exceptionally skilled, and somehow, easily fended off the attackers. When all was safe, he approached this beautiful woman who lay nearly motionless on the ground. Her wounds were grave, and he feared he had not been there in time to save her. He knelt, thinking to keep her company until she passed into the void that was death. At least she wouldn't die alone.


In her fear, anger, and pain, Rhapsody instinctively bit this man, having only been able to smell flesh and blood. She had nearly drained him before her senses came back to her, and she stopped herself. She realized that this was no ordinary human, but was still, as far as she knew, unwilling to become blood bound to a vampire. She thought to just kill him, and claim that he was one of her attackers. Though she knew, as she thought about it, that he wasn't and her kind would be able to tell from his memories.


So, she softly whispered the blood oath ritual that would help the venom turn his veins cold and give him immortality. She waited patiently, so that they could talk. She didn't want to start a war, she wanted to stop one from happening. And to do this, she had to somehow convince this man not to claim she had bitten him without consent. This would be more difficult that she thought.

Rhapsody blinked as her senses came back to her. Something was heavy in her arms. She looked down, and froze. There was a human in her arms. Why was there a hu- Her mind raced as she searched her memories. There. Death was closing in fast. Her whole body fought to stay alive. Then there was the smell of blood. Not dying blood like what seeped from the wounds she had managed to inflict on her attackers. No, this was blood that still coursed through living veins. Her instincts had taken over for survival. She felt the warm blood on her lips, and she licked them slowly.


It tasted wonderful. Then again, human blood always did. Her eyes widened as she realized what had happened. The life force was ebbing from the body she clung to. She whispered softly in latin, a simple ritual, yet one that held great power. The life force stalled, then began to grow. It wasn't the same life that had been there, now it was one of immortality. She was in trouble. The elders were going to want to know why she was returning with an oath bound. Her mind continued to race while the effects of the ritual took hold of the man. She realized there was a possibility the man wouldn't even come back with her. What if he returned to the humans and told them what happened? War was sure to come then. Fear gripped her chest. She worked so hard to keep that from happening, and now is seemed more possible than ever before.


"What am I going to do?" she asked herself aloud, tears pricking at the corners of her eyes. She had so desperately wanted to save the races from a terrible fate. Now it looked as though it was going to be her fault that same fate came to be. She laid the man gently on the ground, and scooted a short distance from him. She watched him closely as the ritual began to change his appearance to one more of a vampire than human. Well, there wasn't much difference, aside from the slightly paler skin and coldness to the flesh. She waited patiently, running over every idea of conversation she could come up with to convince this man not to do the worst thing possible. Start a war.
