Vampire District

<< < (35/286) > >>

Break:
Nero

"Humu, an appropiate greeting for a place such as this.."

The empress took steady steps along the improvised lane of bats, entering the large gates to find a wide open entrance hall, decorated with gargoyles among it's central pillars and a large bordeaux carpet draping the steps of the imposing central staircase.

Following the lead of bats up the stairs, the blonde reached the room upstairs, seeing the vampiresse and demon on top of each other.

"My, have you put on a show just to greet me? I'm honored~"

Bern:
Valerie

Her crimson eyes opened as she head the steps of their approaching guest. She skid back on his lap until her back was resting against Aruna's broad chest.

It was a short bit voluptuous blonde that had found her way here, maybe it was just the attraction of the demon behind her, perhaps he had a thing for blondes.

"Of course, when guests as beautiful as you come to pay respect to the greatest King in the Nexus, then their reception need to be grand."


She turned and looked at Aruna." Is she to your liking? "

yinsukin:
Scott

Scott slammed his foot into the ground, the concrete shattering in the wake of the impact.  "Once again, with your assailent, you were able to beat him, feel the thrill of victory, even with your great loss.  I was helpless!  Once again, the only thing that seperates you and I is you being a woman and being more powerful.  Thats it!"

He paused, looking down at the shattered concrete.  In this moment, he realized it was an apt metaphor for his composure.  He was supposed to be in control but this woman riled something within him.  The damn pretentious... ugh!

He turned to her, glared and said, "You kill for others!  No you kill for the people in front of you.  I kill for others, the people connected to an entire organization, my peers, their families, the a society that is counting on me to take their sins!"

Finally taking a deep breath, he swallowed his pride for a moment, the mere thought felt like swallowing his heart and barfing it back up.  "You will make a great spy, one of the best.  The life of the spy is one of desperation, the will to take on the darkness of the world onto yourself and give your life to it.  We are the dark heroes of our districts.  You don't have to be honest if your scary.  This isn't the movies."

yinsukin:
Aruna

"Why yes my dear," he said, his crimson eyes flashing brighter than any manmade light could in the cloud of darkness flowing freely through the room.  Those clouds of pure darkness covered the ground, obscuring it from veiw.  As the blond walked towards the throne, it would be as if she was walking on air.  "I think this one is-"

Oh shit is that Nero?! he thought to himself.  Well she probably won't recognize me in this form so I shall keep going.

"Pardon.  I was merely taken with your beauty young one.  I think I might have a thing for short girls....  Tell me girl, why have you come to my castle?"

Elf:
Forest

I wasn't able to "beat" him.  I hit his head in with a rock and I ran, and he left me a bloody lovely reminder of himself with me always, Forest thought as she gritted her teeth.

She watched as the younger - he had to be younger - vampire had his temper tantrum.

"You might want to find another bodyguard," she said in a soft voice with a shake of her head.  "If I'm not honest, then all of this," she held up her fist, "has been for naught."

Her "lofty" morals was part of what kept her together for all of these years.  If she slid into some dark slope and lost herself to become some "dark hero" then she would have lost.  All of her training, all of her pain, and all of her loneliness would have been for nothing.

She wasn't Angel or Spike, or even that wimp Nick Knight.  She didn't have centuries of mass murder on her conscience and she was proud of it.  She didn't do what she did, become Law Unto Herself, because she felt guilty.  She did that to make sure that she could prevent people from suffering as she did.
