Ren landed beside her and rubbed his chest and wiped his arm across his face. "I don't think that's what it wanted to do. It felt more like the intent to rape." Kiel held his hand out to Tori, "Climb on my back. It'll be faster that way." Genesis gulped down air and did as Tori instructed. Speaking wasn't one of his specialties, but he needed to get back to Giselle before she freaked out completely. Penny spanned his hands across her rib cage, "Yeah...I wonder about that. If we're so special...why can't we tell anyone?" Jean giggled, "No vaporizing. Although, Keenan doesn't have that much power. You're special humans...protected by the Seraphim. I'm sure...no one would deny you something you wanted." Jean stood on her tip toes, trying to get closer to him. "Is there...anything you want?"
Road to the Church Seth grinned, lightly biting her lip. Cabin Nick followed Annie to the floor and brushed hair out of her face, "Hey now...take it easy. Whether Vickie is a wolf or not, depends on if she changes." Orphanage - Basement Valentine listened to her speak and clung to what remained of her dress.
Ren grabbed her hand and pulled himself up. "I would've gotten out sooner or later." Turning back to the spider, he re-summoned his gun to his hand and aimed at the slowly icing over spider. "That thing is disgusting...and it's about time I taught it a lesson." Kiel scrambled up, clutching Tori to his chest, "Tori...are you alright?" Genesis gasped for air and coughed, "T-tori? Th-thank you..." Penny held her hand tightly. Thankful she wasn't like the other girls and simply thought he was being weak by worrying over their wellbeing. Jean smiled and wrapped her arms around his neck. "Yeah, Keenan wasn't happy...but I told him it wasn't his decision to keep me by his side. It was Kallai's. Plus....it's been a really long time since a human like me has gained the affection of another human. And....I like you." Her tan skin flushed and she rubbed her cheek against his chest.
Ren cursed under his breath and tore his hand free, grabbing the spider's tongue and sending about 100 volts of electricity through it. The creature screamed and jerked away, giving Ren a wounded look. Yves' power pressed a glowing magic sword into her palm. "Use this." Penny lowered his hands and his head, "Oh...of course not..." Jean's wide blue eyes stared at Tristan. "Hello to you too. And here I thought you'd be happy to see me." Jean poked his sword, "That's neat. Did you get that recently?"
Cabin Nick grinned, leaning against the wall, "Sure, ask away." Orphanage Valentine thought it through, "A-alright...I suppose I could try. If...if you believe he'll...wait... He still holds parties in which he sacrifices humans? Father does that....Mother always hated it. When I was a child, she kept me away from them because I was weaker...I guess that's why Seth hates me. I spent time with Mother more than he did... Where he suffered Father's iron fist...I reveled in Mother's soothing touch." His mind away from the girl now, Valentine's bright blue eyes glowed with a pitiful look and the edgings of crimson. Road to the Church Seth laughed and resumed licking at her throat. "Not at all. Not only because I'm cold-blooded, but also because I have a warm human under me."
Cabin Nick gave her a slight wave and smiled. "Hey yourself. Ah...sorry about my appearance. I was telling your sister some of my old stories... That...was alright, wasn't it?" Orphanage Valentine lifted his head, considering her words carefully. "You'll help me? You'll stand beside me? That way...Seth can't overreact without hearing me out. He can't throw me out. You'll stand beside me, won't you?!" Hotel Nina frowned and brushed her hair out of her face, "I don't know... I need a land line and quick. If there are Werewolves here, I don't want to be caught in between a fight with one of them. Their teeth are like knives to vampire skin...it hurts...so very much." Road to the Church Seth nuzzled his partner. Taking the occasional break to let Rin breath from their "tiring" activities in the grass.
Ren bit down on his annoyance at Kaila calling him some weird name. Glaring at the spider, Ren wiggled his left hand until the, what he assumed to be a web, loosened and he kept working at it. "You can't leave." Ren balked, flinching away from the spider as it closed in on him and the tongue clung to his skin and moved under the collar of his shirt. "Oh this is not happening... Kaila!" Yves chuckled, "Of course... But I believe this time is a special time. He means well. These creatures were not sent by Kadaj. I'd need to get a better look at the creatures to see what they're doing here." Penny held up his hands, "Hold on, we're just going to stay here? What about you? Schuyler, I'm not going to stand here and let you go galavanting off to God knows where." A slender, tan hand poked Tristan's thigh and groped around until it gripped his pocket and pulled him beyond the curtain in the infermary.
Cabin - Vickie's room Nick stood and stretched his muscles. "Disgestion. Well, if you're all set, I'll let you be then. It's been an awfully long day for me... I'll see you bright and early. You should join me for my run in the morning...I'll get you up." Winking at the little girl, he slipped out her door and realized he'd left his shirt in her room. Shrugging it off, he continued towards the girls' bedrooms. Where was it they wanted him to sleep? Orphanage - stairwell Valentine clung to Ceril, "I can't... Father....always taught me that to love is to destroy. I can't love my brother without destroying him... So...I told myself I would do everything to keep him from relatively thinking of me as family. Seth doesn't listen to me...he doesn't listen to anyone that isn't paying him money in some way...not since Mother died."
Ren opened his eyes, blinking away the haze and struggled, pulling his arms and legs to no avail. He was trapped against something sticky. Hearing Kaila, he felt whatever he was trapped against vibrate and three barbed black legs stepped out of the darkness closer to him, a long tongue flicking out of a giant spider's mouth. "Ah, that's nasty...just...gross." He moved his head to the side as it's tongue slowly drew across his jaw. "Mmmhph....nasty..." Kiel grabbed a rock in his palm, still hearing Genesis' boots against the trees, he figured he didn't have long until the other boy passed out. "Genesis!?" He looked up at Genesis' struggling form, gasping for air and his legs flailing about. Yves' voice and a gentle hand prodded Tori in the direction of Kiel and Genesis. "Tori...let your light guide you. Seraphim will glow brighter than any other angel...if only you let it. Walk...in the direction I direct and we'll be able to save your friends." The flames of the old Seraph's power flickered within her.
Cabin - Vickie's room Nick shifted, he'd never asked that question to his parents or his pack. "Hmm...you've got me there. Hey...you want anything? Warm milk? Snack?" Orphanage Valentine snarled at Ceril and watched the girl disappear above the stairs. "What are you doing!? She's my only way to get it back! I need Lirum to make Seth listen to me! He won't...he won't listen..." He thumped his head down on the stairs. Hotel - Nina pulled out her phone, it buzzed with a text and she frowned. "Something else is in town? W-werewolves!? And a Seeress Pureblood? Keel, we need to go...we need to get to a payphone or a landline and place a call in to the Lycan Hunters and get out of town."
Ren noticed the light in the distance and felt something wrap around his ankle. Yanking him upwards, Ren hit his head on the ground and dropped his gun. "Whoa! Shi..." Knocking him unconscious, Ren hung from the tree for a moment before being pulled upwards into the leaves. Genesis jerked to one side and something slimly dropped on his shoulder. "What the..." Wiping it off, he rubbed it between his fingers. Slime? Like saliva. Looking up, Genesis was greeted by a long pink tongue, slithering out of the tree tops and wrapping around his neck and lifting his feet off the ground. Struggling against the tight noose, Genesis grabbed at it, feeling the wet saliva come off on his hands and the living flesh beneath his fingers. Pulling at the tongue, Genesis tried to add space between his neck and the tongue so he could breathe. His boots scrapped against the trees and flailed through the air. Kiel stopped, listening before changing directions and running towards the disturbance in the woods. "Tori?" He half turned again and saw the light, but before he could move towards it, his foot caught on something in the darkness and he fell to the cold ground.
well well well...look who it is.
ooc: Suzaku left the hotel and is currently unconscious in the river. Nina and the others can take full advantage of the darkness to freely hunt Seth, Ceril, Valentine, Mimi, Anthony, or contact the VHS and recieve further information. Cabin- Vickie's room Nick felt along his back and felt the ridges of the scar he was looking for. "The night of my first change...I was hit with some sort of razor. Lycan Hunters believe we're infected with a virus and they can just eliminate it by eliminating us. They don't see humans in us anymore...only wild animals that can't fully control their instincts during a full moon." Orphanage - Basement The girl jumped up, confused, "Her?" Valentine shook his head, "No...no...I can't leave now. I need it...Seth has it. The one thing Father praised us for creating...and he stole it from me...shut me out of the company...and then the Purge...it was lost...I thought... Seth still has the research." Valentine ran his hands through his hair, flicking his bright blue eyes across his shoes. "I...I'm not...leaving without my share. And neither is that girl!" he jumped up, shoving aside Ceril and ran after the girl as she scampered up the stairs.
Kiel shoved Tristan towards the school. "Penny, take Tristan with you! Do as I say, now!" He watched Penny grab Tristan's arm and pulled him towards the school. Kiel rushed after Tori and professor Camponella. "Tori!" As soon as he set foot in the forest, the darkness swallowed him whole. Ren exhaled slowly. "And if I say you're wrong?" The voice hissed at him. "You'd only be lying to yourself and whoever else loves you." Chuckling, Ren eased one foot around and spun on his heel, halting to a stop as he turned around. "I can live with lies. What I won't live with....is not seeing Kaila again." Ren tore grass as he circled again and let loose two bullets. Genesis' breath came quicker as he progressed in the darkened maze.
*bump* anybody?
Cabin - Vickie's room Nick rubbed his head, "Well...hmm, I don't remember much about your sisters...but I do know the answers to the rest of your questions." He held up one finger, "The reason wolves and vampires don't get along, is because we're natural enemies. You see....a really long time ago, when Purebloods weren't so very endangered and werewolves could walk about in packs. Before anyone could see it coming...the werewolves became slaves to the vampires." Holding up another finger, "As for the hunters...they're...another sort of people... There are two different types of hunters. Vampire Hunters and Lycan Hunters. Vampire hunters...or Dhamphir, are half vampires. They were born with one half of their genetics infected with the vampire curse. They're recruited by something called the Vampire Hunter Society. Lycan Hunters....they're our worse nightmare. Hunters taken in by preists and taught to hunt our kind." Nick considered it for a moment and pulled off his shirt, half turning to Vickie. "Lycan Hunters don't have a speical name, but they use special weapons. I was chased by one here. Shot me full of silver bullets. Vickie...if you ever meet a man with a scar on his face...turn and run as fast as you can." Orphanage - Basement Valentine crouched in the corner of the room, holding his head. "It wasn't supposed to be like this...I didn't mean to... Father will be so angry with me. I'm sorry...I'm sorry!" The girl struggled against Ceril and untied her legs. "Get me out of here!"
Ren landed cautiously in Kaila’s meadow. Yellow eyes flicking to the darkness in the edges of the meadow. Easing himself into the darkness already present, Ren drew and automatic pistol from his hip, under his shirt. Taking a few steps around the perimeter of the meadow, Ren’s breath billowed out in front of him in a mist. Silently, he opened his wings, testing the air around him. Electricity fizzled on his feathers. “You can’t escape now…” Ren held himself still, only turning his head slightly towards the voice. Penny nodded, turning with Schuyler. Kiel followed Tori, grabbing her shoulder, “You’re just going to leave like this? Tori…I’ll protect you, no matter what. All you have to do is make them listen.” A ghostly hand settled on Tori’s shoulder. Yves’ voice echoed in Tori’s head. “Create light, if they’re scared of the dark. Give a spark and the flames of the Seraph power within you will enhance it.” Kiel motioned to Tristan, “Tristan, with us!” Genesis halted in what seemed like a maze of trees. As darkness fell, Genesis felt fear grip his heart, creating gooseflesh to rise on his bare arms. He regretted leaving his jacket in his room. A sleeveless black sweater wasn’t enough against the cold. His boots snapped twigs in half as he moved through the trees.
Luin Road to the Church Seth picked her up carefully. "I must remember you are not a child." Anthony's office The woman's blue eyes flashed and three claw marks scored across his desk as if from nowhere. "I gave birth to two of the oldest vampires alive these days. I gave them what power they have. As mother to them and wife of the Orignator of the Balmore bloodline, magick dwells within my body. And I'll use every last bit of it to kill you and whoever else gets in my way. I only want to see my sons."
Luin- Road to the Church Seth flicked the broken branch away and pulled her closer to him. He had to stop thinking of her as a little girl. He'd watched everyone in this town grow up, including Rin. Anthony's office The woman dropped the cord and leaned against his desk, her white dress gaping open from a slit in the middle of her chest. Fashion designers...they were all about sex appeal. "Please don't play dumb with me. I have excellent hearing and I'm not stupid. The man on the phone with you earlier, my husband...is ever so careful. All I want...is to see my boys again."
Luin - Road to the Church Seth captured her mouth, keeping them both steady in the tree with one arm. Pressing against her, he snapped a branch in half without realizing. Anthony's office The man started to growl something else when the phone went dead. Standing at the front of Anthony's desk with a delicate hand holding the phone cord that had been yanked from the wall, was the woman he'd described. She was lean and batted her dark blue eyes at Anthony. "Hello."
