RPG War in the Shadows

[Zen]

[COLOR=darkred]It was a sleepy night in London, England as snow fell softly on the towns seemingly peaceful streets. A single man walked amon the streets, slowly pacing his walk with a smooth glide. His hair wsa smoothly combed back to perfection and a single bang fell over his darkened skin. He was smoking a cigarette and carrying a duffle bag over his low shoulders. He dressed in a perfectly creased black suit, unbuttoned to the middle of the chest, unusual, seeing as how its the middle of December. But none noticed as the street was clear and without a soul walking its side walks. His feet crunched as he walked threw. He looked aware, as if searching for something.

The man countiued to walk, still and always aware. Suddenly, he stopped and listend hard, hard into the nights sky as the bitter snow made a light whisper as it fell. He stood still as a staute and his eyes widened ever so slighty. He flipped the large black duffle bag from off his shoulder and reached into it, pulling out a large, silver crucifix by it head and arms. As he slowly pulled it from the bag, it revealed it leg which, from the intersection of the crucifix's arms and head, began to slowly form into a blade, he countiued pulling the object from the bag as a clanking sound came from a lon silver chain, the chain reached far and when he was finished drawing it, there was a smaller crucifix at the end of the chain that acted as a weight.

The man then took the lower end of the chain and wung it around with the small crucifix and threw it up at a light pole, he then ran faster than any normal human onto the side of a building an ran across it, pulling the chain behind him and throwing the chain around another light pole and then threw him self over a short building and into the middle of a small square of grass, which surrounding him was a group of three pale men. they opened there mouths to smile as they approached a young woman who was bound and gagged. They had not noticed the young looking man. He took the bigger crucific and spun it around in his fingers. The sword like crucifix sailed straight threw the abdomen of one of the three vampires who instantly set aflame. The young woman's eyes widened more than they already were, and the other too rag clad vampires turned around and faced the young looking man.

"Gentlemen, You are in official violation of vampire-human contact law number 309. If you fail to seese your activites, i will be forced to kill you..." the young looking man said in a low, but perky tone as if he were a flight attendant. The vampires staired at him with a sneer and rushed at him full force. The man pulled his crucifix from the wall it had been lodged in and grabbed it at the intersection. He took a ready stance.......[/COLOR]

[silpheedpilot]

Standing in the opening of an alleyway, watching the local riff-raff pass by, smoking, and doing drugs. Looking' like punks from the 70's...Whatever that was. Hyde stood there spinning his Spear around in one hand as one Punk hobbled up to him and held out a syringe. A wide grin broke out over Hydes face as he began mumbling to himself, he brought the spear back and drove it through the Punks chest, you could almost feel sorry for him...If you werent so Psychopatic! Hyde lifted the punk into the air, as the Human struggled to breath, gasping in pain as his life slowly drifted away. Hyde swung the spear, smashing the Punk against the wall, his brains and such spewing out of the new wound as Hyde pushed the Human off of his spear. Smiling he begins walking down the street, his Spear resting over his right shoulder. There was no doubt others had seen it, he just didn't feel like dealing with them...Yet. It was far too cold for his tastes but, his tastes were for blood. Hyde walked for a few blocks until coming up on what seemed to be a rape. Hyde smiled and walked towards the rape, three males were beating and intercoursing with a female. The males were on drugs and the girl was roped up, she screamed and flailed but was futile as one of the males slapped her. Hyde walked ot the group and smiled. One of the males slipped a knife from his pocket and stared at Hyde.
"Get outta 'ere! You didn't see nothin! Ya hear?! Go on, or i'll cut ya!"
Hyde slowly sighed as he droves his spear into the male with the knife. After tossing the male behind him he advanced on the others, the had slipped thier dorks back into their pants and pulled out knives.
"What the hell is wrong with you, man?! You're sick! I'm killin' you!" one of the males said as he ran towards Hyde with his knife in front of him. Hyde dodged the knife thrust, grabbing the male by the scruff of his shirt, almming him against the facing wall in the alley, his chest split and his head cracked, a slow gurgle came from the male as he died out. The other male looked at Hyde horrified, then dropped his knife, turning to run away. Hyde stopped the male, throwing his spear into him, after the spear reached its max length, it retracted, pulling the male in with it. Hyde grabbed the males head and ripped it off, blood spurting from his neck as the body dropped to the ground. Hyde dropped the head, picking up his spear. Hyde almost forgot the girl in the confusion and hysterical laughing, he turned to the girl and looked into her eyes, his wide smile and maniac laugh setting a horrid look onto the girl. Hyde tilted his head, the punched the girl in the face, taking her head off. Hyde let out a long maniacal laugh as he walked out from the alley continuing down the street.

[Zen]

(dude! That was seriously Fuc#ed up! This SI NOT MENT FOR THE FAINT OF HEART! Jsut so ya know.)

[Annie]

OOC: Wow..Can I say a little too violent, much? I could see the "Punk" but the rest were jsut a little too brutle, I would think, for posting....That's just me..

[Avalon]

[color=deeppink]Leaning on a opposite wall, Le'aoni stared at the people that occupied the room that she was in. Taking a sip of her Merlot, she lowered her eyes, spotting a group of 3 men sitting ajacent from her. She licked her lips, throwing her head back, letting her hair fall over her shoulders. She smirked, seeing the mens' grins widen at this action. Placing her goblet down, she proceded to walk over to where they were assembled...until someone grabbed her hand.

"Daughter, what are you doing?" her father asked, pulling her away to dance.

She smiled, "Well, look who decided to greet me with his presence. As for what I'm doing, that is no concern to you, is it?" her father sighed.

"Nonetheless, you are my daughter--"

Le'aoni snatched her hand away from his, "Yes, unfortunately I am...and don't worry, I won't run around and kill for fun...just for reason...good night." she replied, drinking the rest of her drink and grabbing her coat, throwing it on quickly.

Once outside, she stood, letting the small flakes of snow fall on her. She sniffed the air. [i]Fresh spilt blood...odd.[/i] she thought, but nothing was really odd in the world that she now lived in...and she knew that. Sighing, she walked further down the dark street, smiling as she heard the slight shuffling of feet. Reaching a small parking lot, she stopped, looking around as if she were lost.

"Hmm, seems that you can't find your way around...how unfortunate." she heard a voice say, turning around to see the same group of men at the party of her father's. She smiled nervously, playing along with the unsuspecting prey.

"Yes, it truly is. It's late and I really need to get home...would you all be true gentlemen and give me directions?"

The men smirked deviously as one spoke up, "Well, madam...we're not really gentlemen, so directions will cost you."

Le'aoni opened her purse, seeing them near her.

"Oh no." one of them said, "we don't accept that kind of payment, woman." he grabbed her and shoved her to the wall that she was standing by. "But I know of one that's accepted everywhere."

Le'aoni smirked inwardly, seeing one of them pin her arms above her head. He fumbled around with the buttons that were lined up covering her throat. She stood there immovable, letting him do whatever he wanted...until he reached her neck. The men looked at the two small incisors on the side of her neck, paling at the sight of it. They paled even lighter when they saw her eyes, which glowed an eerily ivory.

She broke her hold on her arms, gripping his in return. "And you thought that I was unable to protect myself? You mere human." she replied, pressing her fingernails deep into his skin, eyeing the blood. She releashed him, throwing him harshly to the ground. She eyed his friends, licking the blood off her fingers.

Turning to the other 2 men, she spoke. "Well, since you gentlemen were about to rape me, which I can't forgive mind you, I'll show you a little trick of mines." Taking out her fans, she smiled evilly, her eyes glowing gray, coloring in the pupil and iris. With a flinch of her eyelids, the man that she threw jumped up, taking the fans from her. The men looked at him and ran screaming. The first man smiled, mimicking the face of Le'aoni and threw the fans, which embedded each in the men backs. They fell, their eyes bulging at the sudden impact. He smiled, again mimicking Le'aoni, as he clapped his hands, retracting the fans from their backs towards Le'aoni, who caught them. She slightly pushed the man standing backwards, hearing the thud of his body crash on the ground.

"And to think...I was once human."[/color]

[silpheedpilot]

Walked down the street smiling, widely, tapping the spear on his shoulder as the snow crunched under his boots. There was a slight click sound, then a loud blast rang through the air, as a bullet plummeted into Hyde's face, blowing through the back of his skull, his head shattered as he fell backwards, some friends of the men he had murdered a few minutes before. The men walked over to Hyde and kicked at him to amke sure he was "dead", the laughed, clapped hands and laughed.
"Thats'll teach him to mess with us!"
Hyde stood up, his blown head dripping blood to the ground. The Punks turned around and watched in horror as Hydes faced, cringed and reformed lost tissue as his face returned to normal. Hyde laughed hysterically as he cut the nearest punk in half with his spear, the other men opend fire as handgun shots poounded into Hyde as he advanced. Hyde punched a hole in the next Punks chest, smiling as he went down, blood spraying onto Hyde.
The other punks jumped into back into their jalopy of a truck, but Hyde was already in the bed, cutting a punks head off. Hyde reached for anothe rpunk tearing his left arm off and puching him out of the truck. The last punk jumped out of the bed and ran, blindly firing behind him at Hyde. Hyde leaped out of the truck, high into the air. The punk bent over to catch his breath assuming Hyde ran, he smirked and called out.
"HAHA! Take that you-"
But was cut short as Hyde landed on the punks shoulders crushing him into nothing but a grease stain on the pavement, Hyde bent down and ran his hand through the chunky, bloody mess of a man. Smiling intently he licked the blood off of his hand and began walking down the street once more.

[Zen]

The three pale vampires rushed at the cool and calm Leon. He swung the small crucifix around by the cahin and threw it at one ofthe vampires. the chain wrapped around him tightly and Leon pulled hard. The vampire flew at Leon in the air from the pull, as he came, Leon prepared his large Crucifix sword and stabbed the unfortunate vampire in the chest, threw the heart, his ashes flew past Leon like a wave of sand.


The other vampire rushed fast and hard at Leon, Leon prepared to attack. He stared hard as the vampire came at him, but suddenly a black flash went by the vampire and there, running by itself and collapsing onto the groudn was nothng but the vampires waist down. Leon was amazed and startled and he looked over to see the vampires torn torso on the ground , cralling as he tried to regenerate his lower body again, but the black flash went by again and the torso's head came flying at Leon, who quickly side stepped as the severed and dead head flew past him. Leon was scared, an unusual emotion in hi mas he looked around frantically, trying to supress his fear......

[Avalon]

Walking quietly away from the scene, Le'aoni redid the buttons that were embedded on her suit. She tucked the fans back into the bottom pocket of her coat, smiling satifyingly. Turning the corner from the parking lot, she could hear the sound of battling somewhere close[i]Hmm, who's causing a ruckus this late at night...other than me?[/i] she thought, pulling the black hood snugly on her head.

She neared the location, being careful to stay in the shadows. She heard shuffling, also the cries...of battling. [i]Hmm...what's this?[/i] Le'aoni thought, hiding behind a tree, still standing in the shadows. She looked on in awe, for she hadn't seen quite anything like this.

Le'aoni looked at the man, taking in his features...and something that she distinctly smelled off him...fear. [i]Ah, so he's scared is he? I'm pretty sure he can take care of himself...[/i] she thought, still standing behind the tree...not caring if he saw her or not.

She took pity on him, [i]He'll survive...hopefully.[/i]

[silpheedpilot]

Hyde begins laughing hysterically, knowing that something big is happening somewhere, not too far off, either. Hyde turned around and made a B-line to the fading lives and...fear...
Hyde leaped into the air and landed on an old run-down buiding, looking around, cupping his ears he could hear metal upon flesh, blood, or was it blaze? upon cement, it was a blazefest and Hyde was just now invited. Hyde bounded on top of the building until he came upon Vampires and a Human.
[I]Ahh! HmmHmm...Ahhahaha. This is perfect! There is blood to be spilt, cropses to burn![/I]
Hyde leaped from on top of the building landing in front of the Crucifix weilding Human.
"I see...Hehehe..You wanna die?! AH Hahahaha!"
Hyde jerked his head around, his smile wide, his eyes bulging.
He held his spear with both of his hands, crouched low he jumped backwards thrusting his Spear foward, the crucifiz weilder, dodged the blow. Barely. Hyde stood straigth up, looking around. He sniffed the air then pointed at the crucifix weilder.
"Hehehe..I will deal with you later Hehe...The same with you, you hiding Vampire! Hehehe!"
Hyde leaped on top of a building and ran off, smelling someothing strange. A powerful Vampire, maybe Human...It didn't matter, something needed to die and he didn't want to waste his time on those petty beings back in the alley.

[The (Sic) Shape]

Slash watched from the shadows as a crucifix wielder and Hyde talked.

Hyde:"Hehehe..I will deal with you later Hehe...The same with you, you hiding Vampire! Hehehe!"

He watched as he left and the crucifix weilder calmed himself down, readying himself to attack with his sword, looking for Slash.

Leon: Show yourself, coward!

Sudddenly, Leon jumped out of the way as another black flash appeared in front of him. He felt a cut on his cheek, blood slowly dripping. Slash appeared where Leon just was. He turned his head, facing Leon. He lifted his blade to his face.

Leon: Who the hell are you?

Slash didnt answer him. He didnt move either The only thing that changed was a maniacal smile on his face.

Leon: Answer me, damn it!

Suddenly, Leon pulled out a gun and fired, only to hear a few tinks. Slash had deflected the bullets with his blade...

[Zen]

"Well, i guess i have to dea lwit hyou the old fashioned...." Leon said. He took his Crucifix Chaines and readied for an attack. It came before he could blink, The vampire jumped up trying to stab Leon who just barely avoided it. He then readied the small crucifix as the vampire tried for a cut. Leon threw the cross around his blade and he yanked as the blade come from his hands. Leon jerked the chain like a whip and the word went back at the vampire with the blade forward, the vampire caught the blade between clapped hands, but Leon followed right away with a cut from his crucifix blade, which cut deep into hit side. Leon spun around and too a defensive stance. The vampire bled perfusely, blood poured from the wound. But the vampire's eyes grimaced and the deep wound healed up good as new. The vampire stared Leon in the eyes.

"We will meet again, slayer....." The vampire said, jumping into a back flip ontop a building and running across the roof tops. Leon was heaving and tired.

He took out a small cell phone and pressed a button. HE waited and heaved on the phone. "Hello? AVD? Its agent Lakistaupolous, i need a pick up. I'm at 33 St. Augustine......Yeah, i'll wait...." Leon then put hte phone in his pocket and fell on the ground heaving and tired. The snow dropped on his face and melted away. He felt like sleeping......

[silpheedpilot]

Hyde stood on top of a pole, staring out across the scenery, until a dark flutter gave way as a vampire stood on the roof below the pole. Hyde leaped off of the pole and landed in front of the Vampire.
"Hehe..What do you..Hehe..Want with me?..Hehehe?!"
The Vampire reached out to Hyde.
"Come with me, we can fix you. Make you better!"
Hyde looked at the outstrecthed hand, and in an instant the hand was being held by Hyde as he laughed hysterically at the fledgling Vampire, Hyde began beating the Vampire..Beating him, with his own arm. A gleam in his eyes set the Vampire ablaze as Hyde showed a side he had never showed before. Hate. It was always games and fun for him, but now he was angry and there was nothing that was going to stop him. After Hyde go tired of beating the scroched Vampire with his own arm, as he laid there dying, Hyde stomped on his head, his skull caving in under Hydes large boot. Hyde laughed when he heard the crunch.

"No one can fix me! You screwed me up in the first place! Now you will ALL pay! AUGHHAHAHAHAHAHA!"

After that said, Hyde leaped off of the building wondering if all "Powerful" Vampires were that weak...

Getting a call for a pick was not an unusually thing, but it was for Adora. She had never usually been sent for pick ups. So more like an annoyance. The slick black car drove around slowly on the streets. Through the front sheet glass, she could see it. the marker of 33 St. Augustine. The very place of the pick up. Driving slower, Adora rolled down the window and looked out wards scanning the area. But as she drove, the air became tinted by aroma of blood. Human blood mixed with ashes of vampires. Going along the street at an in turn, the car stopped. The two bright head lights showing forwards, on supposable, the human AVD member.

Adora opened the door and stepped out. When setting her foot to the snow on the ground, there was a grinding sound. Looking down, the snow was mixed with black dust. The wind blew and the black dust lifted. Now she could smell it, the black dust was the remains of the vampires that had been killed. Getting out of the car, Adora left the door open. Staring at the man off to the side, and the cell phone that was in the snow a few feet from him. "I take it that you agent Lakistaupolous, correct?" The man looked over and saw a faint outlining in the bright head lights. "Yeah," he said dozily, as if falling asleep. Walking over seeing closely, Leon was starting to be covered in snow. Dropping down she took one of his arms and put it around her neck, and used her other arm around him and pulled him up. She then started walking to the car, and opened the door. Adora then helped him inside and shut the door. [i]Ok, now you can sleep.[/i] Adora said to her self. Walking over to the drivers door she got in. And rolled up the window, pulled out, and started to drive out.

As she drove she noticed a figure lurking behind a tree. Most of have been a vampire who escaped Lakistaupolous. So she thought. The vampire stared, and Adora stared back, the vampire moved swiftly then disappeared.

[Kwai]

[i] As the car drove away, a figure slowly melted out of the shadows. He caught the fleeing vampire by the scruff, and in a flash, the head went flying, hitting the wall with a dull thud, and slowly oozing down to the ground. The body disintegrated into a pile of ashes, and the figure smiled sadistically.

He cast his eyes in the direction of the two remaining vampires, fleeing in the distance. His hands slowly went under his coat, and a few flashes were seen, followed by the distant figures suddenly collapsing, and disintegrating.

"Pitiful..." muttered the figure.

Warrington looked around, at the ashes of vampires and bodies of humans strewn around alike. The carnage was complete, and the evidence must be destroyed. Warrington took out a blue-green vial from his coat pocket, and threw it high up in the air. He unhooked one of the red vials from his chest pocket, and set it on the ground. Warrington turned and left the scene, leaving behind one vial in the air, and another on the ground. As the blue-green vial hit the red vial on the ground, an unstable concoction formed, and green, noxious vapors began spreading at alarming speed. The bodies, the blood, the ashes, all were disintegrating under the fumes. Warrington turned a corner, observing the blood spattered street light. The fumes slowly crept up the lamp, and the blood was extinguished.

Warrington took out a small communication device, and held it to his mouth.

"This is Warrington reporting in... it appears that there has been a clash between the vampires and the anti-slayers... I could not get visual confirmation, but there has been enough casualties for me to believe that at least 2 or 3 has been involved. Evidence has been destroyed, now returning."

Warrington cracked the device, as it exploded. Warrington then slowly looked around, and ultimately went into the darkened alley, his foot steps still clinking uncertainly in the dark.

Running quickly, Le'aoni tightened the coat around her. She stopped at her father's private haven, opening the latch. Smiling, she heard the door close with a thud.

"Ah daughter...I thought that was you." she heard a voice below her. Looking down, she saw her father staring at her from the piano he was playing.

She sighed, jumping over the post that led to the stairway. Dusting herself off, she nodded at her father, heading to bed.

"No, child. Stay with me for a minute. Tell me: isn't life grand?"

"Err," she started, looking at him oddly. "I guess it is, father. Good night." She waved him off, hearing the piano play again. She placed a hand on her head, [i]He's my father...deal with it.[/i]

Opening the door, she threw her coat on the soft red sofa that occupied her room. She undressed, putting on a black nightgown and tied her hair into a loose ponytail.

"Well, what an night!" she exclaimed, crawling into her red satin sheets that were on her bed. She pressed a small black button on the side, making the bed sink into the floor. The floorboards parted then shut, leaving her in complete darkness....

[Annie]

Reaper looks into the dark, moonless night sky. Snow fell onto her pale face, tickling her ruby lips. She smiled and looked down the dark street at a single pair of headlights heading in her direction. She leaps into the air out of the path of the car and lands ontop of the flickering street light. [i] Hmmm..That sent, I have smelled his blood before.[/i]
She jumps from pole to pole, following the car. Reaper was stopped in her tracks by a sneaky suspicion of being followed. She paused...[i]Nothing...[/i] She continues, then she heard clinks of a swift, smooth pace. She stops and draws her sword. "Who are you? And why do you follow?"
"Calm yourself, I was just wondering what a dame like you would be doing at this late at night," the mysterious voice crept closer.
"You will be well advised not to come any closer," Reaper's voice unquavering, calm, and collected.
"You are not frightened of me?"the voice was taunting.
" I have no reason to be afraid of a man such as yourself. You are weak,"Reaper responded quite playfully.
"Oh really now? I am weak? You know nothing of whom you speak to," the man walked forward and reached his hand into his chest pocket.
"Use your words wisely, you do not know of whom you speak to either," Reaper jumps and does a side flip from a dart thrown by the man. She lands on one knee and charges at the figure,spinning her sword on the man. Her attack was quicker than he could see, but he could sense her movements and was able to dodge the attack. Just barely though, slash marks all over his body began to bleed.
He looks for the girl, but she is nowhere to be found. Little did he know she was in the tree beside him. [i] This man is different. I can't decide if he's a human or a vampire...Nor can I smell his blood, but he is bleeding.....[i]
The man leaves and Reaper jumps from the tree, continuing to search for that black car. [i] Why do I feel the need to follow this person? His blood smells familiar. Gentle and warm, yet it has a coldness and sadness too...[/i]
The snow dances in her hair, and lays silently on her eyelashes. She walks slowly, her trench coat floats on the bitter air. She wiped the scentless blood from her blade and sheathed the sword. She reached into her brest pocket and pulled out the stuffed doll that never left her possesion and hugged the small toy to her lifeless heart.

[Zen]

Leon snored loudly as he slept in the back seat of the sleek black Escalade. Adora drove agrrivatedly. She turned a corner into a dark alley, she drove threw into it and came to an old door with a single step leading to its manolium plated door. She got out of her car and threw and snow ball at Leons face, which instantly woke him up. He got up yelling, "Five more minutes! Oh....Its you." He said, getting out of the car.

"You sure slept well, didn't you." Adora said in an antaganistic tone.

"Well, more of fell unconcious, but yes, I did."

"What happened to you? Your bleeding." Adora said in an entrrogative voice.

Leons eyes sharpened...."I'll tell you when we get in side...." Leon said as they walked to the seedy door and knocked four times.

A pair of bulging bloodshot eyes came threw the doors slot. "Password?" the eyes said in a grunty voice.

"Alucard..." Adora and Leon said in simaly. The door opened with a loud creek and the two stepped into its bright, white hall ways....

[Kwai]

[i] Warrington stopped, and watched the figure bounding away after the abyssal car. He pondered for a second, whether or not to chase her, but ultimately decided that he needed to go back to headquarters. The slash marks were slowly closing up, and in a matter of seconds, became a mere scratch, and fully healed in the next few.

Warrington melded back into the shadows, zig-zagging through the dark alleyway, the endless maze only the beggars and homelesses knew of. Eventually, he came to a doorway with a sign above it, barely hanging, which read "Closed for Repairs". Warrington walked up to the barred door, which he simply passed through, as if he was a wraith. The moment he entered, two cross-shaped guns were pointed at him by figures clad in black.

"Agent Warrington, reporting in." said Warrington with slight irritation.

"Carry on." said the figures, and they vanished.

"Can't they memorize my face? I've been through this damn door about 300 times so far." muttered Warrington.

"You forget that they are blind, Agent." a voice said. A lithe, young man appeared, with 2 body guards close behind him.

"Yes.. yes... I know... but its still irritating." Warrington replied. "I'm here to make an official report."

"Meet me in my office later on Agent." the young man said. "And make your report there."

The man walked off along one of the numerous corridors. Warrington looked after him, then he, too, walked off along another corridor, though to where it led only some knew. [/i]

[silpheedpilot]

Hyde sat at the edge of a run-down apartment, watching some teenagers walk by, pulling out a cigar one of them looked around content that they shouldn't be doing it. Hyde grinned as the teens started smoking the cigar, then he began laughing as one of them choked on the smoke. Hyde jumped off the roof and landed in front of the teens. The started backing away, dropping the cigar.
"No! No, please Mister! We are too young to die!"
Hyde cracked a smile as he twisted the head of a teen in a complete 180 degree spin. The others looked in horror, and one puked. Hyde pulled his Spear back and drove it into the puking teens head, pulling it back hard, the teens head came flying off at Hyde. Hyde tilted his own head as the teen head went flying by. Blood spurted from the teens neck as the others took of running. Hyde shrugged and sifted into the shadows appearing in front of the teens a block or so away. He made a shunning finger gesture as he lifted the teens up by thier throats, smiling he threw them into the street as a large van drove by, the sound of cracking bone and spilt blood flooded the air as the van came to a screaching halt. Hyde started laughing sadistically as he sifted back into the shadows.

[Avalon]

2 hours later....


Le'aoni sighed, turning over in her nice undercovered bed. [i]Ring![/i] she heard the phone ring, growling at the interruption. She grabbed the phone and gripped it, placing it slightly on her right ear. "Yes?!"

She heard a voice chuckle, "Love, is that any way to answer a call?" Le'aoni frowned deeply, familarizing herself with the voice.

"...and you call me for what reason?"

"Ah, you act like a human. Don't tell me that you were sleep, love. It's nearly 3!"

"Yeah, I know of that. And I'm guessing you called me because you want to see me."

"You guessed right, love. Come...let us enjoy each other's company for the night."

She growled lightly, hanging up the phone. Pressing the button, she sat up, freeing the bed rise. She quickly changed back into her clothes, placing on her coat with care.

Her father looked at her as she hurriedly walked down the stairs. "Where are you going? It's less than 3 hours before daylight."

"Out." she replied, walking down another stairway. Entering the garage, she pressed a button on her keys, that she held in her hand. The car revved up, flashing the blue light underneath. She hopped into the black Jaguar, gripping the steering wheel as she backed up the car and drove.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

"Well, darling...so glad you could make it." a man replied, staring at Le'aoni enticingly. She smiled slightly, looking at his choice of clothes. His midnight black hair cascaded over his shoulders, his rich brown eyes bore deeply into hers. She stared at his satin red shirt, unbuttoned to show a little skin. She watched the way the snow clung to his leather pants, making them appear to be wet as they melted.

"Are you going to stand there and stare...or are you going to invite me in?" the vampire smiled, showing his pearly white teeth.

"Of course, Le'aoni...come in. Make yourself comfortable." he replied, ushering her into the mansion, smirking seductively....

[Kwai]

[i] Warrington was situated in a large, oval room. At the end was an ancient, mahogany desk, intimidating in itself. Behind the desk was a fire place, obviously used for throwing away some papers, not to leave evidence. A huge, silver cross was decorated above the fire place, the same cross which had been there for the past 500 years. A grotesque display of trophies were mounted on the walls, some beastial, others human. The heads of vampires, four of them due to Warrington. The heads stared, and Warrington stared back, in each reliving his past battles. As the door opened, Warrington broke from his trance, and found the same young man, his leader, Sir Lowendove, sitting at the desk.

"Your report, agent?" asked Sir Lowendove, relaxed, but obviously excited.

"The event transpired from the hour of 12:00 a.m. midnight until 1:00 a.m. Regrettably, the whole incident was over when I arrived , save for three vampires passer-bys, who were terminated immediately. The brutality of the attacks leads me to believe that an anti-slayer was present, and a vampire too, for I observed vampiric blood on the pavement as well. After terminating the evidence, I reported in. However, immediately after my report, I was assaulted by an unknown female figure, probably a Draculina, or perhaps one of the anti-slayers. The figure was extremely fast and agile, too fast for a vampire, and I believe that it was the latter of the two possibilities. I observed a black car driving away, owned by the Guild of Vampires. I deemed it more urgent to return and make my report, and thus I chose not to pursue the car." Warrington said.

"Very well. So we have anti-slayers lurking in the vicinity too... scums of the earth..." murmured Lowendove.

For a moment, he appeared to be in thought, then waved his hands at Warrington, motioning him to take his leave. Warrington bowed, and left the room.

OOC: Shouldn't we start converging our stories little by little? We seem to be drifting away.

"I lost him. Damn..*Gasps*He's killing kids again,"Reaper grabs her throbbing head and drops to her knees. "Nyahh..Rrrrrr"she begins to growl, her red-sliver eyes begin to flicker from red to black, her body starts to shake uncontrollably. Reaper stood up and fled to the direction of the leader.
[i]Hyde...I will make you regret what you did..You killed those women and their innocent children and infants..I will avenge that little girl..[/i] Reaper clutches the doll closer and leaps of the buildings. She finally found him in an ally way, sneaking his way up to a couple of unexpecting lovers embracing eachother as they walked in the street. She bounds in the air doing a sommer sault and side flip landing in front of Hyde. "Get out of my way, Reaper!" He holds his spear pointing it at Reaper's stomach.
She stands unwavering, they stare eye to eye as the winter's air bites at their skin. Hydes eye twitched and sends his spear lunging at Reaper, she leans to her side and as the spear retracted back she grabbed it and kept an amazingly strong grip on it. "Let go you wench!!" try as he might, Hyde could not pull back his spear from Reaper's clamped hand.
She stared with hatred into Hydes fuming eyes, she twists her wrist and pulls the spear like a whip, sending a shock wave up Hydes arm. He fell to the ground. "What the crap!"
Reaper unsheathed her sword and Hyde began to laugh. "You honestly think that you can defeat me?"
She just stared in complete silence and in a blink she was gone. Hyde stood up holding his broken left arm, he looked but could not see her. Then he felt her behind him and spun around to see her sword dripping with blood. "Huh?" he looks down at his body as it split in half at his abdomen. Reaper walks up to Hyde's twitching body and kneels. She takes off her right glove and moves her hand towads his face. "What the hell are you doing?"
Reaper smiled sadistically, "I just want to touch your face,"she leaned down, her face very close to his. She made the notion that she was going to give him a kiss. Hyde's eyes wide with the fear of what she was going to do. Just as Reaper's lips were about to touch his, she sharply looks up at a silohette figure standing underneath a fading street light. The figure started to sprint. Reaper grabs her sword and takes her stance...

[Avalon]

Le'aoni shrugged off the smirk, taking off her coat and handing it to the man.

"And what did you want to talk about, Dom'ar. I haven't all night. As you can see, it's a bit after 4. "

He nodded slightly, taking two glasses of wine over to where she sat. He handed her a glass, urging her to drink it.

"Ah, you'll simply hurt my feelings, Niai. Drink up." she growled at the use of her real name, and, unladylikely, poured it in her mouth and swallowed.

Within a second, her sense dulled...her eyes began to roll. "Like that, huh? Yes, I thought that it was sufficent for you...in order to hear the situation that you will have to be in tomorrow night."

Le'aoni stared at him blankly, but of course she couldn't make any real movement. "Nothing to say? Well, I'll begin." he sat near her, brushing a piece of hair away from her face.

"It seems like your father and the rest of the Guild elders have been talking to those Brotherhood sadists and Vampire Defense dense-brains. They all want to set some kind of temporary peace treaty until they're 'dealt' with the 'Anti-slayers'. "

He softly touched her cheek, tracing his finger down towards her neck. "And that's where you come into play. You have been chosen to be the Guild's representative. Each group will bring a representative---either one or two---and talk about this. In order for this to work, darling..." he trailed off, getting to one of the buttons on her outfit.

"You will have to work...er, together, I guess." Le'aoni's eyes rolled straight, grabbing his arm.

"Never touch a lady unless they want to be touched. And about that, I understand. When and where?"

Dom'ar sighed, breaking the grip which she applied. "Tomorrow...just after sunset. 9 o'clock. And where..." he cleared his throat. "134 E Commers Drive...."

She looked at him, confusion read in her eyes. "Why there? Of all places..."

"Your father requested that it be there. For it was appropiate...your mother's birthday is tomorrow, Niai..."

She looked at him angrily...and slapped his face. "Never again...do not call me by my birth name! Niai died long ago, got that?"

Grabbing her coat, she casted him a cold look. She closed the door harshly, getting into her car and driving off.

[i]Tomorrow...[/i]

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

OOC: That was a nice attempt to get the characters together, no?

[The (Sic) Shape]

Slash remained completely still on a tall building, the cold winter air not effecting him. He was thinking about the events that occured a few hours ago. Suddenly, he snapped from his thoughts as he heard a voice in his head.

[B]Hyde[/B]: [i]Slash, get over here. Its a "friend" of ours. Reaper.[/i]

[B]Slash[/B]: [i]Reaper? What's going on?[/i]

[B]Hyde[/B]: [i]Well, she just broke my arm.[/i]

[B]Slash[/B]: [i]Ill be there in a second.[/i]

Slash disappeared into a black flash. He leaped from building to building, and jumped down to the streets to see Reaper kneeling to face Hyde. Suddenly she stopped, seeing Slash. She postioned herself to attack. Slash started to sprint toward her and once again disappeared into a black flash. Reaper jumped out of the way, Slash barely missing. Reaper realized that Slash had cut her arm. Without stopping, Slash moved again, sprinting toward Reaper. This time their blades clashed together.

[B]Reaper[/B]: Get out of my way! This doesnt concern you!

[B]Slash[/B]: When it involves my brethren it concerns me.

He jumped away from Reaper and once again disappeared into a black flash. Reaper tried to find Slash, and realized that Hyde wasnt on the ground. She suddenly felt her blade knocked out of her hand and Slash's katana was pointing to her face. He let out a small laugh...

[Annie]

Reaper growled in annoyance,"Damn them both." She grabbed her bloody arm and pierced her nails into her skin. She grimaced slightly and let go of her grip, the wounds healed. She lept and bounded off the buildings and trees. She made a wrong step adn slipped on the snow covered branch and fell from the tree. "Owww," Reaper grabbed her hind end,"That's going to leave a mark."
She continued on her search for the Alliance of Vampiric Defense headquarters. She came up to the heavy door and knocked. The weary eyes peered out, then they widened with horror. "What do you want? Why are you here? If you don't leave now, I will call someone to show you away."
"I don't wish to harm. I only want to speak with a man. His name is Leon," Reaper placed her hand on the door and leaned forward,"Please, I don't want to harm."
"GO AWAY!! Leave vampire!"the guard yelled.
"Please, I am asking you of nothing to cause any trouble. Could you just ask him to come to the door, I just want to ask him a favor." Reaper stood calmly.
"---Mr. Leon, there is a vampire who is persisting to see you.." the guard spoke into his small microphone device. His bloodshot eyes glared out at Reaper.
"Thank you, kind sir..."she smiled gratefully. The snow fell...
