Tabris had always felt at home down in the sewers. This was mostly because that was where the gangrel had made their home. After all, what better place for a vampire clan to make ground zero? There was no sunlight and no prying human eyes. It served as an endless maze of paths to get around the city. It was the perfect place for a vampire coven, especially one as feral as the gangrel. The only downside was that rare occasion where an alligator occasionally got hungry and attacked one of the members. That kep everyone on their toes. Tabris spotted a sewer grate. He quickly opened it up and slipped down into the endless dark labrynth that he had made his home.
Tabris calmed down after a while, but it was far too late to save the nun. He realized that the police would probably be here soon, because Tabris was sure someone had heard the nun's screams. Not that it mattered. Tabris felt like he could kill an entire swat team. "I've shed enough blood tonight" Tabris thought. Tnd speaking of bloodshed... Tabris reached two clawed fingers into his left arm and pulled out the bullet. The wound disappeared, but tabris could move his left arm again. Tabris didn't feel like answering any questions at the moment, bu there were no sewer grates for tabris to go down. Tabris took off down the street, looking for one of the doors to the closest thing to home he had...
"How did it feel, hellspawn? How did it feel to see him in all his magnificence, smiting the wretched beasts from the earth? The gangrel may have been one of the most powerful covens in existence, but it was nothing to him! You're nothing but a rotten, mangy dog to him! You-" Tabris had been feeling guilty that entire night. He had felt scared and guilty when he killed the rookie and the cop. He had acknowledged their existnce, and the fact that they were human beings. He had regretted killing both of them. This time, though, as tabris leapt towards the nun, all that guilt, regret and doubt dissapeared. all those soft feelings of humanity dissolved into that all-too-familiar haze of rage and bloodlust. Tabris felt like a whole new person. It felt good as his claws raked the nun's skin, and he enjoyed listening to her scream. He didn't even care who knew it. Happiness soared through his soul as he continued to hack at her with his claws. And when the life left her eyes, Tabris let out a long, loud howl of animalistic glee.
Tabris's left arm was useless at this point. Luckily, the Nun only had one sword, so the fight was relatively even. My life has been pretty weird since i became a vampire, but almost getting killed by a nun really takes the cake, thought tabris. "What does he want?" asked Tabris as he parried another blow from the nun's sword. "That is not for you to know, filthy beast!"
People seemed to be clearing off. Good. That meant less peple would get hurt, because this was inevitably going to turn into a struggle. And as soon as the nun realized Tabris wasn't listening to her, that's exactly what happened. The nun pulled out a gun and started shooting at tabris. The first bullet barely grazed tabris's left arm, and the second hit it full on. Tabris grunted in pain and leapt at the nun. She pulled a shortsword and charged forward to meet him. They collided, tabris barely preventing the shortword from going into his heart. "Begone, Hellspawn!" the woman screamed.
The nun proceeded to rant and rave about how the man that single-handedly eliminated tabris's entire covenant was going to purge the world of "Hellspawn" like Tabris. The high-pitched and derisive tone of her voice made Tabris immediately stop listening. The funny thing was, if she was conected with him, she was probably pretty strong. Maybe her threat had some substance to it. That's when he noticed the man walking towards them from the other side of the street. Tabris really hoped he wasn't going to get involved in this struggle, because this lady was powerful and crazy- two things that never mix well.
Tabris had walked for about three more blocks before he literally bumped into a nun. What a nun was doing on the street at this time of night was beyond tabris. Of course, as soon as she pulled out the throwing knives, tabris got his answer. He had had some practice dodging attacks like this. "BEGONE, CREATURE OF DARKNESS!!" the nun screamed. This one wasn't normal. There was something about her... "You work for him, don't you?" Tabris asked.
Tabris felt the policeman's wallet in his pocket. Mostly he ran his fingers around the smooth metal badge. IT felt good. tabris still found himself feeling guilty though. He thought about how pathetic he was for it. He had been a creature of the night for over ten years now. He should have stopped feeling guilt years ago. Maybe if i had, my coven would still be alive, Tabris lamented as he continued to walk down the street. That's when he passed the sleeping hobo. Tabris ignored him at first. Then it hit him: I'm a vampire. I don't need money. Tabris walked back to the hobo, took all of the identification out of the policeman's wallet, and placed it in the hobo's jacket. Tabris felt a bit more human as he walked into the night. He had to admit, it felt good.
"Actually, i live in an apartment uptown. It's alright, but not nearly as nice as this. So have you lived in LA for a while, or did you just move here?"
Tabris liked a good conversation. And the policeman had been nice to tabris. Nicer than most mortals, anyway. Unfortunately, Tabris thought as he threw the policeman's dried husk of a corpse into a dumpster, he was thirsty. Tabris felt guilty as he walked away. He was replenished and had more energy, but he had more blood on his hands. But there was another side of him that was telling him that he had done what was necessary to survive. Besides which, he had died an honorable death, in the line of duty. Tabris also had his own duty to his coven. He still had to find the saint. "Sorry, officer", Tabris said as he closed the dumpster lid. "It's been nice talking to you, though."
White Reflection- Two-Mix
There were a lot of words that popped into Mr. Wheeler's head when he looked at Nikkie's apartment. Humble was not one of them. "This is nice. Most of the new gods don't live in places like this." MR. Wheeler noticed Zaris wasn't here. "So what happened to zaris after the concert?"
eh... i'll admit that it was a good movie, but i gotta say that some of the moments were a bit cheesy. That's my only complaint. Other than that, i'd say it was a pretty good movie.
"You sensed Saule? I don't think he means any harm at the moment. He works for the god i don't want to upset, but he doesn't like her. I think he's trying to gain leverage over her. By the way, who did you go see?" Mr. Wheeler couldn't help wondering what Saule was doing. Was he reporting to her? WHat were his goals?
Actually i think i saw a plane like that when i was younger. I don't think it is.
