Bloody Nightmare

Mark throws up his hands in an 'I surrender' motion, "sorry for offending, it has never bothered me before. So... Dhamphir, huh? That's what you call people like us?" he asked, "I've only ever met a one other, and she knew even less than I do."

 

Serena loaded vickie up into the car and headed for town. She manuevered the car delicately through the terrain of the north woods. i wonder if i'll run into more of the vampires when I go to the market. That one must have been rather strong, being out in the daylight. I wonder if there are others that strong here. Or how many there are... her train of thought was broken when vickie spoke up. "sissy...do you think I can finally start school? Annie said I could at the last town, but it didn't happen. I really wanna make friends. It's lonely when i'm by myself." serena let out a sigh and pulled into the grocery store parking lot. "i'll talk to her. Maybe we can get you started next week. Now why don't you grab the reusable bags for me out of the backseat."

 

Road to Chruch~

"Never knew some were touchy with that name." Keel said as he caught up to them. "though I can't say my life been better knowing that I'm a Dhamphir."


Still Outside the Bank~

As Allen was about to enter the bank, the strange feeling he had was gone. "Guess it was a false alarm." Shrugging his shoulders, he decided to check out the market place before he headed to where Keel went to.

 

Orphanage~

Seth stopped by the orphanage and yawned. Opening the door, he smiled and greeted the children that flocked to him, pulling on his pant legs. "Hello children, have you seen Rin?" Several children pointed in the direction of her room and he chuckled, "I don't suppose the Mother has gone out yet has she?" As if on cue, the Orphanage Mother stepped out of her room and beckoned to Seth with a crooked finger. Sighing, Seth bit back a snarl. "I'm afraid I don't have time, Mother. I'm here for Rin as promised, although a bit early. I'm afraid I've no idea what she'd like to have in her room." His eyes flashed as she wrinkled her face and backed into her room.

Road to the Church~

Suzaku sniffed, "Only she has the problem. I really don't care. I know what I am. The VHS takes time to make us feel like normal people. But...I'm only here to take care of one Vampire...Lorrietta McHugh. She's the one that killed my parents and my fiance."

Nina jutted out her bottom lip, "Whatever. You're coming with us whether you like it or not."

As the sun started to set the maids of the Balmore Manor became active again. Yuka swiftly ran a cloth over everything. Mirabelle meandered outside, cautiously and trimmed the roses. Cooke stared at her cook books and dropped the little white tablets into wine glasses full of water.

 

Orphanage ~~

Rin was looking at herself in the mirror again with the blood-red dress on. I guess this is the best I have, Rin thought to herself. She then heard all the commotion going outside of her bedroom door. Curiously, she peaked through a little sliver of the doorway. Her heart skipped a beat. Seth was back much sooner than she had expected him to be. Her face flushed bright red, she slowly opened up the door. Yes, she was embarrassed that he was going to see her in such a state, but she at least wanted his view on the dress.

 

Orphanage~

Seth chuckled lightly at one of the children's jokes before he heard a floorboard creak. He sniffed and lifted his head, a smile prepared for Rin on his lips. Taking in the color of the dress he stopped for a moment and smirked. "How fitting... I apologize for being a bit early, Rin. I mearly thought about the preparations for you to come home with me. It's been a long time since I've had any...children like you in my home. I'll have to pick up some food...for Cooke to prepare for you for dinner too...and...proper attire." He stood and smoothed his hands along the bodice of the dress, checking for holes. Awkwardly, he found one. Poking his finger through it, his cold pale finger touched Rin's rib cage and he clicked his tongue. "Seems we'll have to pick you up some new clothing too."

 

Orpahange~~

Rin's body began to shake when she felt Seth's finger touch her ribs. She wanted him to do much more, but this wasn't quite the time or place. Plus, she didn't want to show off her feelings for a crowd. This kind of feeling was something she only wanted to share with Seth. Instead, Rin hugged him, his cool body taking off some of the heat. "I, um, already have everything packed," She whispered to him. "I couldn't wait for you to come back." She then grabbed his hand to show her his room. She was hoping that it was the last time she would ever see it.

"Are you really going to take me with you this time?"

 

Orphanage~

Seth drifted a bit into a blood filled daydream when Rin hugged him. After pulling him towards her room he frowned, "Of course I am. We're going to go shopping for a bit so I can buy you some good things. My home is..." he shut the door to her room, "Quite devoid of life...and human things. I'm not sure how to treat a human in my household anymore. The only humans we have there are food...ah, but you'll be alright. I'll keep you hidden away during the party tonight so no one will think you're part of the menu." Seth glanced around her room, just like all the rest and sat on her bed heavily. "Until your room is ready for inhabitants...you're going to have to stay in my room. Hmm...I suppose that means I'll have to change the sheets on my bed..." The last visitor in his bed had died....quite messily too. She hadn't taken to a vampire drinking her blood very well and thus caused him to tear apart her throat in effort to keep her silent. Gesturing to her bags he yawned for a long time, "Gab your baaaaaag..." he yawn-spoke. Parties were good...they livened him up and kept him from his eternal slumber.

 

Orphanage~~

Rin searched threw open her bag one last time to make sure she had everything. All she had were her clothes, a few of her favorite books, and a notebook she would sometimes right in. She zipped it up happily. Rin was ready to leave this place for years now. There was nothing really here that was keeping her. She didn't have any friends and it was as if she never existed in this place. It was always the little kids who were adopted, so she was happy to have been chosen by someone, especially by a person like Seth. Rin sat down next to Seth, admiring him. "I thought that you were going to turn me...into one of you." She was still getting over the fact that Seth was a vampire. What she had gone though, that was enough proof that she needed. "I don't really need much, honestly. All I need is to know that I'm loved."

 

Mark raises his eyebrows as he looks at Nina, "oh, really? What if I just wanted to go back to my camp and defend myself for the night?" he asked sarcastically, "of course I'm going to head off with you, we stand a better chance at killing more of our parent species that way," he said, "just let me go back to the woods so I can get my weapons."​

 

Orphanage~

Seth shut his mouth and leaned over to Rin, brushing her hair away from her neck. "Is that what you'd like? For me to turn you? To give you eternal life...in a world that is ever changing?" Of course he had no intention of ever doing such a thing to a young girl like her. "I'm afraid...I won't do that. Ever, Rin. I won't make you what I am. This life...it's hell...a prison. It's worse than being a human...a slave to your every desire. Only Purebloods escape our prisons. But there are so few of us now. But of course..we are slaves to our desires too. For example..." he paused for effect, "If I so desired it...I'd feed from every man, woman and child in Luin until they were all dead...without giving them a chance to turn. Then I...myself...would drink what remained of the blood in a corpse and die again. I hate my life...I loath humans...I detest Werewolves...but I will never be a slave to my desires." He wanted her to understand so very much. "If you are still unconvinced...then I could address another desire." He narrowed his eyes and flicked his gaze over her body and leaned into her.

Road to the Church~

Nina set her dainty hands on her hips, "Then I'll come with you."

Suzaku rolled his eyes and shrugged.

 

Orphanage~~

Rin's eyes began to widen when she heard his story. What she was hearing, it was hard for her to make sense of it all. She flinched a little when he leaned in close to her. She didn't push him off though. Instead she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed his cheek. It was cold as ice and smooth as a rock. "If you hate humans, does that mean you hate me too," she whispered into his ear. "What am I to you?"

 

"Guess it can't be helped." Keel said, scratching the back of his head.

 

Orphanage~

Seth groaned, "You make things interesting. I may loath humans...but it is a loathing born out of jealousy. I want to feel my heart beat...I want to be warm without having to drink coffee or blood. I've wanted for so long for...." his throat closed and he turned to the door with a snarl. Snarling at the Orphanage's Mother standing in the doorway, Seth's fingers dug into the bed around Rin and he tore a piece of the mattress off the frame. "I know what you want and it's not happening again! I told you, today was the last time." She simply stood there, closing the door behind her and Seth snarled again, "Get out...." She shook her head, "I won't. I've waited ten long years for you to return here. Time has moved slowly when you see the same thing every day for a Vampire. I won't leave this room...or your presence until I can taste more of your passion...and give you more of my own blood. I want you to, Seth." Seth stood, setting a hand on Rin's shoulder, "We'll be going now, Rin. Take my phone and speed dial 9. A car will come around to pick you up. Wait for me." He held out his flip phone for Rin to take.

 

Orphanage ~~

Rin didn't know how to react. Part of her felt cheated. She wanted to stay there, to defend Seth. Rin knew that it was best for her to listen to him though. She kissed him after grabbing the phone. Rin knew that was dangerous, but that didn't matter to her. She jumped out of one of the windows and ran as fast as she could. She made sure to follow the road, having the orphanage grow smaller in the distance. She then grabbed the phone out of her pocket and held down the nine button.

 

Orphanage~

Seth shook his head and grabbed her shoulders roughly, "I've had enough of this game. We're finished for good." Leaving the room for a moment, Seth came back with a pair of pliers. Flexing his hand around them, he shrugged, "Alls well that ends well." He watched horror flash across her face and soon....her muffled screams filled the orphanage and a small area around the building.

Balmore Manor~

Yuka rubbed her hands on her apron and fished her cell out of her pocket. "Yes? Mastere Balmore do you need the car for something?"

 

Mark nodded, and set off toward the woods again, comming upon the hollow tree he had stowed his stuff in, he quickly got everything of value out, including his weapons, and then turned back to the others. "So... what now, do we wait until later, or are we going after this vampire you wanted to kill?" he asked.
​

 

Road to Orphanage~~

Rin heard the girl's voice on the other line. She wasn't quite sure how she was going to explain everything. "My name is Rin. I'm...Seth's human, if that makes any sense. He told me to call this number for a car to pick me up. He was being attacked by someone. Please, you have to believe me!" Rin knew how stupid she sounded, but that didn't matter. She wasn't going to disobey something Seth told her to do. They may have not known each other long, but she knew she could trust him.

 

Serena took a shopping cart and headed into the grocery store with vickie at her side. She grabbed mostly fruits and vegetables but a few different forms of meat. Serena had been trying to be a vegetarian for a few years, but when she changes it's out of her control. She wakes up covered in blood, but that's the only time. She noticed the smell in the air again and sighed. "not again..." serena continued to load up the cart and tried to ignore the smell. Every once in awhile she would ask vickie what she would want.
Annie walked around their three acre perimeter putting up a barbed wire fence. It was a lot of ground to cover, but the werewolf in her gave her that extra speed boost. When she was done, she put up a couple sgns at the front of the property. no trespassing/beware of dog the the beware of dog sign always made her laugh. If only it was a dog they had to worry about. She clapped her hands together after getting the signs up. A job well done in her opinion.

Ceril jumped down from her treehouse since the sun was mostly gone. It was time to go huntung. She needed something bigger to eat before the party. Small creatures just didn't cut it on nights like tonight.

 

Balmore Manor~

Yuka frowned, "I see... Well I'm afraid I can't come... There are Dhamphir's outside right now and they don't have much intention of leaving. You'll have to tell Master Balmore he'll have to walk home with you. I'd love to meet you before the others but alas...if I leave with the car now...they'll become suspicious. And, little one, don't worry about Master Seth. All the vampires in town obey his orders. I'm sure whoever chose to attack him is suffering quite painfully now."

Orphanage~

Seth dropped the fangs onto the ground and tossed the pliers onto the bed. "Sorry, but I must take my leave now. Someone will come for you tonight for the party." Hopping out the window the same way Rin had, he followed her scent, "Rin?"

Road to the Church~

Nina brushed her hair back, "We need to stay in the hotel in town until nightfall and then..we take measures to infiltrate the Church and destroy what Vampires we can...or in Suzaku's mind...call the stupid Hunter Society and tell them we need backup the next night they choose to come out."
