Fantasy Blood That Binds

[Rise of Albion]

Alexander furrowed his brow and managed a quick, affirmative nod before Ophelia walked away and disappeared out of his sight, taking the fully blooded, injured vampire with her. He judged that he was right after all. This ball hadn't just been planned for her guests to have a good time and so that Miss Beaumont would be able to become aquainted with some of the city's more... shady supernatural characters. His kind was rare, of course and it was not entirely strange for others to take an innate interest in him, but there was something more that was tipping him off about this event. At the moment, he wasn't able to pinpoint it but he assured himself that he would probably soon find out.


He cleared his throat and thus turned his thoughts away from the mystery of the Beaumont Ball so that he could search for his troublesome thrall. The eager man had disappeared amongst the crowds of beautifully dressed vampires, probably looking for some fun, sexual or not. What Daniel never seemed to understand however, was that even though he had not turned his back on humanity, that he had more of a life than Alexander did, he was among a strange enemy here. Animal's blood never tasted so good as human blood and Alexander needed to keep a close eye on his friend otherwise things were going to quickly go downhill for them both.

Madison and Mason accepted her departing as they entered the ball. Glad to see a good choice of drinks Mason grabbed two glasses passing one to Madison who's attention was drawn to the entrance. She could smell something unique but what it was she could not tell from here. He brother simply smiled leaving her to the fun of this social event. He gazed around at the guests staying alert of those who would approach the two. Mason wasn't sure of what this gathering would amount to but so long as it didn't risk Madison he did not care. To him living silently in the background was best and outside of the occasional feeding he cared not to mingle or seek out companionship. Perhaps this was due to his sister but still it was his pleasure life that he enjoyed.

Ophelia lead the young disheveled looking vampire up the stairs, "There's no reason to be nervous." She told him in a calm and lulling voice. She could sense his tension, and it was a surprise to her that he wasn't shaking. She took a deep breath and concentrated, focusing a calming energy onto him in hopes to ease him. She never really used this ability much, but she felt that he needed a break from his own nerves. Once upstairs she then guided him to a room, it was a bedroom, and a luxurious one at that. It was clean and tidy with a large bed covered in numerous pillows and a fine comforter. The lights sparkled on the crystals of the chandelier hanging from it's ceiling. Despite all this though, the room gave off of feeling of never being used, which was the case. "Please use this room to rest if you need it, there's clothes in the wardrobe most of which I believe will fit you just fine. You'll even find some formal wear for the party if you wish to return to it." She walked over to a small desk and opened a door, "You are also welcome to stay here if you like. I am the only one that resides here at the moment, so it won't be a bother to me at all." She pulled out a small box, and opened it revealing a small pair of metal tools within it. "As for now, let's take care of your injuries shall we?"

DOUBLEPOST=1402436906,1402435993][/DOUBLEPOST]Angel continued to walk, still bored and growing more and more agitated by the second. Her mind traveled to a ball she had heard of, some old lonely vampire woman was hosting. The thought didn't excite her, she was in need of entertainment, but being around a bunch of stuck up vampires with superiority complexes was not her idea of fun. They could play pretend all they wanted, she knew the truth. They were nothing but animals. That's all it ever came down to. Tossing the idea of the ball aside she once again found herself at square one. What to do, what to do? She was about to give up and go on a killing spree simply to vent her frustration. Though the idea of wasting all that blood didn't work well with her either. It was then that she noticed something, she had been hearing it for awhile now but it only just reached her attention. A set of footsteps she could hear. It was coming from behind her, distant enough she hadn't noticed till now, but close enough that upon listening for a moment she realized they were keeping up with her. A smiled spread across her lips. Well, well what have we here? A mugger? A rapist perhaps? These thoughts excited her, she so loved to kill these kind. Her hunger built again as she continued her thoughts. She'd have to savor it, make it last. It was then another, far more exciting thought came to her mind. A hunter, could it possible be a hunter? Absolute thrill coursed through her veins. She was too excited to wait. With out turning around to take a look at her pursuer she turned down another street. She needed to get away, and lure them to her.


John had been following her for sometime now and just as he was about to second guess himself she turned down another street, so he quickly made his way to the corner, waited a few seconds and then turned down the street maintaining a distance still and even giving up a little more than necessary. If she was what he thought she was then she would take advantage of this situation and soon he would enter into the most dangerous of situations....going from hunter to hunted.


++++++++++


Quentin had rushed through backstreets and alleys so he could use his speed without drawing too much attention and before long he could see the two wolves that he had smelled. He stopped a good distance from them, knowing that they had probably picked up his scent and presence approaching, and he wanted to make sure that his first encounter with them wasn't misconstrued as hostile in nature. They seemed to be focused non something else so he cautiously approached, as to not spook them.

Monica half smiled as Malkavian finished talking and left. She then pulled out her cellphone and updated Lucia on what had taken place at the bar and then made her way back, top side, to get back to managing the bar. There was too much going on tonight and even her head was spinning. Usually the nights weren't so alive, so she clearly knew something was afoot, and especially with vampire kills and another Alpha appearing in the same place was a huge red flag. She wasn't exactly sure the nature of all the commotion tonight, but she knew better than to think that things were going to go back to normal after tonight was over.

 

[Lord Anubis]

Malkavian had gotten back onto the roof tops. He was following the other alpha and his companion. He had covered himself in a thin layer of dirt to cover his scent. He ran along the rooftops stealthily ducking behind the walls of the roof, and watching from afar. His alpha quentin was stalking a vampire possibly related to the mortals death. He had heard of a gathering of vampires somewhere in the city, but that could wait he found this lead more interesting.

Nicholo:


As we were following her I noticed another wolf getting very close, but not fast, if he was attacking he wouldn't be going slow. "Effy watch out we have a wolf tailing us. hopefully we can deal with him and still track our target" I stood up right and faced him. "Hello there" I said as I slinged my rifle. "My name is Nicholo Machiavelli, and I am assuming it may seem like I am encroaching on your territory." As I spoke I came into sight of him and he wasn't too threatening, or at least not at the moment.

 

[xxDragonEater95xx]

Quentin halted as the wolf introduced himself, "Nicholo, nice to meet you. The name's Quentin," slowly, he walked a half circle from the wolf, eyeing both him and his associate. "Tonight's been rather lively...I've had a vampire kill outside my place, and wolves seem to be encroaching on my territory, and carrying weapons on top of that." He spoke in a matter of fact tone as he locked eyes with Nicholo. "Tonight is turning into quite the circus," he sniffs the air and catches the scent of the vampire that he had caught earlier, "I don't want to be presumptuous, but are you tracking the vamp that's out here?" His alpha tone was little more stern this time. He didn't necessarily mind if they were hunting a vampire, but they had still entered in to his territory and he has learned the hard way what happens when you let things slip.

 

[travelbypages]

Effy crossed her arms and looked at the wolf "well what does it look like" she said sarcastically and rolled her eyes slightly "and I'm sure you would carry a weapon too if half your pack walk killed" she looked at Nicholo, a sad look in her eyes from mentioning the pack. She quickly looked down at her feet and went quiet.

Angel's smile quickly returned to her face when she realized the other pair of footsteps stopped and she was once again only being followed by one. The human, the game was on again, she quickly turned down another alley way, and then another until it was just her and him on the street. The next alley she turned down was a dead end. Perfect, she thought. She walked down to the end and then leaned up against the wall waiting for the human man to catch up.

 

[Tinman]

Nicholo:


"very much so" I noted as i nodded to Effy "I mean no harm to you or your kin, my quarrel is with this vampire and her alone." I didnt care too much about the pack that he had, I wasnt the type to try and dominate, I went to war and gathered those of a like mind to fight. "I have something of a grudge against leaches you see, so if a leach dead benefits you we are more allies then enemies." I came a bit closer to him at this point but keeping my hand behind my back clasped together. "I also will not ask you or any of your kin for aid, this is not their fight unless it is yours." thats when I smelled something more. A human was tailing her as well, in which he probably smelled as well. "and it seems that she has found another victim, or her victim was looking for her"

 

[xxDragonEater95xx]

Quentin looked toward the female wolf and furrowed his brow. "It looks like someone doesn't know how to mind their manners or show proper respect." He looked back to Nicholo. "Sorry to hear about your pack, me and mine ran into a similar issue years and years ago." He took another sniff of the air, "Well didn't mean to hold you two up from the hunt, do you two need an extra hand?"


------------------------


John knew that he had been spotted, and the chase was on. She kept dipping into alleyways and he would have to run to catch the corner and ease his way around it, nothing worse than blindly turning a corner and ending up with your throat ripped out or worse. He had to preform this maneuver about three more times before he realized that she had turned down a dead end. He hesitated at the corner. She knew she was being followed but did she mean to run into a dead end? This is where things would get tricky, he had truly brought himself into a dangerous situation, but that was his lifestyle of choice. He turned the corner, drew his gun from his left holster and began to make his way down the alleyway. "You don't want to try to scale the walls to the rooftops and make an escape?" He didn't like that she was still in the alleyway, relaxing like this was perfectly fine, but then again she did have a lot of advantages. He kept himself at a safe distance as he clicked the hammer back on his gun, ready to fire at the slightest movement from her that he didn't like. "What's a corpse like you doing walking about? I hear through the grapevine that there's something big suppose to be going on, care to share?" he put both hands on the gun and kept his eyes trained on the young looking vampire. She may have looked cute and innocent, but he knew that was the furthest things from the truth.

 

[Tinman]

Nicholo:


I looked to Effy and whispered. "All things have their places Ef. Now is no time to bark, we are in good hands" I then turned towards him again. "like I said you have no obligation to us, but if you just so happen to be up for a little hunt I will not turn down a spot of help." thinking about it I had no idea what his name was, or even how strong his pack was... didn't matter much anyways, I might not even get the chance to meet them. Alphas always had a very different relationship when encountering other Alphas then when they meet lone wolves

 

[xxDragonEater95xx]

Quentin extended and shook his hand. "The name's Quentin. I don't mind tagging along for a little while. Nothing like getting rid of one more. A life to help with a goodnight's rest."

"Corpse is no way to refer to a lady, you best check your manners sugar." She said to him, still leaning against the alley wall in a relaxed manner. Her voice was calm, lulling and even a bit seductive. Her eyes barely glanced at the gun and she giggled. "Gonna shoot me? Is that it tiger?" She stayed quiet for a moment, he was an older gentleman there was no doubt she'd be faster than him, but faster than a bullet was another question, his aim was also a factor. For him to be so bold to stalk a vampire alone he'd surely wasn't a shit shot. She got off the alley wall slowly, making a point to not seem threatening. "Something big huh? Wouldn't know, don't care much to hang around my own kind." She explained to him, being as sultry as possible.

 

[xxDragonEater95xx]

John was no fool but also wasn't into vampire games. As she leaned off the wall he fired a shot at head level to her left, his right. "Yeah. Shooting you is definitely the game-plan here. I figure I get some useful information from you and maybe you go free, but doesn't seem like you have much to offer." He kept his gun held with both hands but lowered it again. He knew that she was definitely fasted than him but doubted she was faster than his shot. Even if she managed to cross the space between them, he'd either catch her in the heart, head, or at worst have to kneecap her then finish her off. He was still surprised at how calm she managed to remain and that made him felt uneasy. All Vampires usually had this air of superiority about them, but they knew when they were cornered also. Maybe this is just a rogue vampire who is confident in her skills, but maybe she also has the credentials to back that confidence. It's always tricky when dealing with their kind, but it's the nature of the game. "So what's a blood-sucking leech, like yourself, doing just waltzing the streets like that's okay?" His voice was hard and meant business. Just looking at her infuriated him, but he wasn't going to take another shot until he was sure it was going to be fatal or save his skin.

Nicholo:


"Then shall we?" I asked as I motioned towards where she was. I slung my rifle back into my hands and motioned to Effy "Lets hunt" with those words we were all of and headed straight towards her. not another victim would fall to this leach tonight. We ran past buildings and scaled them with lightning speed. over looking the streets we found we were now traveling faster and getting close to our target

 

[XxRoseAlchemistxX]

She didn't flinch from the shot, but her face and tone became serious, "Rather spritely for an old man." She said, she didn't bother taking a step forward this time. She then laughed at his question, it was dumb question to her. "Why does a lion walk across the Savannah?" A smile spread across her face, "I'm an animal dear, doing what animals do hunting and surviving." She explained to him. "Now the real question is why are you wasting what miniscule amount of time you have left on this earth hunting something that's your natural predator. Rabbits don't often go looking for the fox if you catch my drift." She tensed, ready to pounce the moment he felt the need to take another shot. All she needed to do was get a scratch on him and the fight was over.

 

[Lord Anubis]

Malkavian followed the know grouped lycans that he presumned were hunting the vampire he sought as well. He kept pace till they scaled the walls up to the rooftops which he was using to follow them. He slowed his pace just enough to keep out of sight for he moved silently enough. As they stopped at the edge of a building malkavian went around them. He kept his eye on them then he heard movement in a ally not far from his location.


He slowly, and silently made hid way to that location. As he neared he could hear talking. Then he heard a shot fired pulling out his own pistal 44 caliber magnum. Although his bullets were made from silver he knew they would damage any creature gravely. Silently he walked crouched on the edge of a roof over looking the ally. He remained silent crouched behind the wall listaning closely, but not moving. He made sure dirt still covered him hiding his scent mostly.

Effy nodded at Nicholo then looked at the man "I'm sorry for being rude" she followed after Nicholo toward the victims scent. There was a human, the wolf beside them and.. something odd... she looked around then up at the roofs of the buildings, she noticed movement and looked at Nicholo again, "I think we're being followed" she said as quietly as she could to him.

Nicholo:


I looked to Quentin. "is one of your pack tailing us?" this was odd, I didnt smell anything, yet Ef said someone or something was behind us. "they are masking themselves with something because I cant smell them." this whole not being able to smell someone before they got you things was unnerving. I didnt like not knowing things, especially things that were following me.

 

[xxDragonEater95xx]

John took a half step to his right, making the path she'd have to take to get to him more direct, and making the room for error a little smaller. He had cornered her, or so he thought, but at the same time he was also cornered, and he didn't like being in this narrow alleyway. "Your words, like your face, are pretty and true, but your existence is a disgrace and you disgust me." He wanted her dead but he needed to be sure, because he knew as soon as the fire show began she wasn't just going to sit there and take it. He came up with a plan. "You know, I don't get it. Some of you have little nests and whatnot and others just do their own thing...Are you guys run on democracy hierarchy or is there like a King and Queen?" He moved half an inch closer to the wall on his right, "and did you really think..." He fires three shots, 1 aimed for her left knee, 1 for her chest and the other for her head.


+++++++++


Quentin turned to Nicholo, "It's not one of mine, but I caught a wiff awhile back. Couldn't get a good enough scent, but it's definitely no one from my Pack," he looks down at the scene unfolding. "Looks like the hunter and the hunted are about to show their true colors, you should take the shot while you have the element of surprise." Quentin moves along the rooftops silently as he tries to get into a better position, he doesn't want to startle the hunter or the hunted. He begins to think of a way to intervene peacefully without giving himself away as anything but a human, and in his long pause of indecision he hears the sound of three shots being fired.

The other wolf would have to wait for now. I looked over to Effy. "When I fire you fire." I took a second to get my perfect shot lined up, right for the knees. I knew Effy was doing the same. "If you need to leave do it now" I said to our friend and not a second later shots went off below. "Fire" I said as I shot a number of times myself.

Malkavian watched as the human shot three times at the female vampire. He could tell the other lycans had detected his presence to a extent. He would watch the events unfold as they would Till he decided he needed to intervene. Then after a few moments the other lycans began to fire. How troublesome to shoot so many bullets at a single undead creature. Not only would the noise alert any supernatural beings nearby, but would also alert the mundanes bringing them to this location. Malkavian watxhed from the shadows hopeing no others would come to this place.

[XxRoseAlchemistxX]

Angel jumped up and back managing to dodge most of the bullets but was still hit with a few damaging her knees and legs. The silver burned as it burrowed it's way into her flesh. "Shit." She mumbled under her breathe. It was then she realized that her other stalkers had come back as well. Once again she wasn't fond of the odds. She needed to get away, knowing that this was a hunter she came up with an idea. "Looks like you aren't the only one looking for a fight tiger." She yelled at the hunter from farther down the alley. "However I don't suspect your fond of werewolf mutts either." She jumped up and onto the roof of the opposing her other stalkers and began running off. "Well, not exactly the entertainment I was looking for." She ran as fast she could she needed to get her distance from them and make her way into a human crowd.
