A Vampire's kiss...

[Roland Gilliad]

ooc: Dragonlady: uhm....not to burst your bubble...But we didnt want a war here, we just wanted a hunt for blood...what your instigating is a war and even i dont like it, besides, HOW Did you get there? WHAT are you doing there? And im more or less sure you've never heard of the kid, unless you give us a background story, Another thing is there is (unless I've been reading the wrong Occult books) NO TEMPLE OF VAMPIRES, there are NO known cures for Vampyrism, sorry. *noddles* or she could BELIVE Such a thing exists but you'd have to state that. Sorry if im being a Nag but This is one of the cooler threads and i'd like you to be a little more specific than what you've given us so far...No offence and no anger ment im just curious about those things.

 

[RoseThorn]

OOC: Dragon Lady said something to me about editing her post, so I'm gonna pretend it didn't happen till she gets to do it....

IC:
Rose sighed pulled on her shades as she walked outside. The sun felt nice, but it hurt her eyes. She shifted the load in her pack, walking toward the doctor's "office".

Dr. Rickson was giving a man some stiches when she arrived. He worked out of his house, but at night he was in the shelter. No "Ifs", "Ands", or "Buts". The man stood slowly and a women helped him. The doctor told them a few things and shutled them out. Doc's kid Eddie finally spotted me and almost dropped something.

"Hello, Rose." Doc's voice was neautral.

"Hi, I need some stuff. I pulled a guy out of some female vamps clutches. His back was ripped up...I need something to clean it with."

"And what do you have for payment?"

Rose dropped her pack and dug through it briefly, pulling out a blanket, some jerky and bread, and numerious pill bottles.

"I've been looking for meds since you said something about needin 'em. I don't know what all of them do but..."

"It'll help, thank you, Rose. Do you think you could get me a car battery when you come next? And some eggs and milk?" He was digging through some of his boxes, setting things out.

"I'll try...I'm fly...going to the farm in a couple of days if nothing comes up."

He handed her a bottle of alcohol, a rare commodity, some bandages, and three pills.

"The pills are for pain, if he needs them. If not I'd save them, you could use them later. Try to keep the wound clean and change the banages at least once a day. If it get worse bring him here."

Rose nodded and tucked the precious supplies in her pack.

"Thanks Doc," she said softly, turning to leave. She was almost home when she spotted the body. It was new and tucked in some rubble. Obvious vamp victem. It was hidden from view a half standing wall. She'd only spotted it by the smell of fresh rot. She quietly turned out his pockets, finding a two lighters and a pack of cigs. She took the leather jacket and boots the dead man was wearing and looked through his pack. He had some extra clothes that looked like they would fit Gary in a pinch, a half carton of cigeretts, a knife, and a diary.

Rose picked it all up with a sigh asnd finished her walk home. She opened the door and stepped in, searching around for Gary.

 

[poohlive]

Ooc: Dragon lady. We aren't trying to harp on you. I would love your presence here. But, like roland said, we aren't really looking for a war. We just want a simple game of cat and mouse, with humans...
I like your idea though, you know, could you go back, and read my first post. I put what little rules I made in there.
Like, I didn't say anything about turning people back, I believe, if you wanted to be on a crusade to change everyone back to human, that would be awesome. You could find a way.
Anyways, don't leave, please come sit back and enjoy... we all want you here
:oking guys in the ribs:: don't we?
lol


Grant was startled by her voice.
"Yes, I am in here."
She came in holding a bag of stuff, "You look terrible."
He hadn't noticed. Mirrors were a rarity in this day and age.
"I don't feel so good, what was in that soup last night."
"Some jerky, now come lie down."
He did as he was asked. She made him lie face down, and strattled his back, getting at the wound better
(yeah, thats the ONLY reason, lol).
He made sure he could still move if he needed too. He didn't feel this vulnerable since Casandra had caught him out of the window. She was controlling him.
A sharp pain hit his back, "Ouch."
She massaged the ointment in, it felt much better. He started to relax, a little more than he wanted too.
"Is the pain still there?"
Gary shook his head, it seemed almost gone. He remember when she had torn into him. He thought by accident. She didn't want him getting away though.
Casandra needed therapy.
Grant chuckled.
"It's better?"
He breathed in deeply, "My lower back hurts... could you."
She had already started massaging him. Gary let out a deep sigh, feeling her hands knead into him.
This is what makes life living. He watched the sun sink down into the hills, it would be almost a half hour til sundown, but now he didn't care.
He only cared about how good he felt, and he did. For the first time in a long time, he actually felt good.
He knew it wouldn't last long...

 

[RoseThorn]

Rose

I smiled at Gary as he relaxed.

"I...ummm...got you some clothes...." I say hesitantly. I'm enjoying myself way to much as I massage his back. I force any thoughts of a realationship away. The guy still didn't trust her, he'd probably leave ASAP...Like all the others she helped...

Meanwhile, back at the Ramada...

The doors to the bathroom open adbruptly. The two vampyric slaves and Harry walk back out. One of them is holding on tightly to Harry, the other has the syringe in his hand. They enter the bedroom. "What is the meaning of this ruckus?" Casandra demanded.

"Sorry M'Lady," one of the vampyric slaves began.

"But we found this on the mortal?" the other finished, holding his upturned palm out to Casandra.

Casandra took the syringe from her slave. She shot a look at Harry, then back to her slaves. "Leave us be," she told them.

"Ma'am?" the first slave asked.

"You heard me," Casandra replied. "Leave us be. I need to speak to this mortal...alone." With that, they left the room, closing the door behind them.

Casandra's eyes burned through Harry for a moment. "Do you care to explain the meaning of this?" she asked him, sitting down in a Queen Ann chair next to the bed.

 

[Ravenloft]

Harry:

"I... Its the stuff that I was high on when you found me... I have no reason to lie..." Harry's brow was slick with sweat. He was as good as dead! She had found his one card to play and in essence was ripping it up before his very eyes!

 

[Guest]

"It's what you were high on, is it?" Casandra asked, looking at the syringe as she rolled it around between her fingers. Looking at Harry, she added, "So seem to be coming down from it now. Maybe you should hit up here in front of me?"

 

[Ravenloft]

Harry:

Suddenly twitching, he was caught in his own lie, Harry cast about desperatly to figure a way out of this. "That would be a leathal overdose! I still have the first in my system! Even if I am coming down... It would make my heart explode... I know, I used to be a doctor..." He thanked god for his medical knowledge, he was right, even if he hadn't have taken something else what was in that syringe was well past a leathal dose for a human... Even now he could see that he was grasping at straws. Why on earth would this vamp bitch care if his heart exploded or not?!

 

[Roland Gilliad]

ooc: Ok, heres another post for yall...
IC: *roland nodded to himself, strapping his arms on him and into his trench coat as he saluted the sun, It may be the last time he would feel it on him as he strolled out of the room and stopped at the door and looked around cautiously, deciding it was safe for now, he walked out and Pulled a PERFECT (im talkin no scratches or dents) Milky way Candy Bar and he slowly peeled the wrapper off, savoring it as he munched, now walking down a road, heading for that nearby military supply depot he knew of..he was going to need some TNT, He had some....Demolition work to to later..So he casually walked down the street, passing the ramada hotel just like he would have done in earlyer days, he subconcously quickened his pace as he kept walking, suddenly there was a crash in the ally, he whipper out his Shotgun* WHOS THERE?!

 

[Kepic]

'Karl'

I was knelt in an alley, clutching one of my amulet charms in my hands, concentrating. I had been travelling the world longer than many of the vampires that now strode it.

When they had finally broken from their long reclusive life-styles, if you can use the word life-styles with vampires, they had quickly brought the world into a nightmarish existence. I and my kind had always kept apart from the 'leeches'.

Since I had recieved the Rite of Life, back so long long ago, I had tried to keep the mortals safe from the dark predators that now swarmed over the Earth. Now I could do little more than watch their struggle for survival.

I chanted my warding spell quietly, letting the golden glow envelop my body. Ra grant me succour in these dark hours, Ra shield me from the evils that skulk around me.

The ward kept those Vampires who might come across me at bay - the golden glow had all the properties of true sunlight. Those who came too close would meet with final death.

But despite my precautions, my feeling of security, as more of these dark days passed by - and I had seen many a dark day through my lives, though none seemed comparable to those that the present bore - I felt more and more troubled at the state of the world.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

ooc; Kepic: AH HA! So you've played Vampire the Masqurade i take it!! excellent!!!

 

[Kepic]

OOC: Yup... and a hod load of other RPG's! White Wolf has one hell of a cool background in their World of Darkness... and although they've not touched on Mummies very much (two books to my knowledge, one a revised version of the old, which I've got) I liked their take on them. Maybe a Werewolf thread would be cool... <thinking>... hmm...

 

[Roland Gilliad]

ooc: Hmmm I think that Would be cooooooooooool.

 

[poohlive]

Ooc: sounds nice guys, but back to the ultimate dystopia at hand. LOL

Gary moaned softly. His face, completely covered by the pillow, still let it escape him.
Suddenly she stopped, and got off of him. He felt it was over too.
"There are your clothes," she seemed to blush. Gary took the clothes, not wanting to look at her in the eye. They fit perfectly, a new shirt, and a nice jacket.
Rose made dinner, while Gary tried out his arm. It only stung a little when he shifted it way to the back. He realized what people meant by love hurting now.
Rose came in, with two heaping piles of food. Gary ate ravinishly. She seemed to only touch at her food.
"You aren't hungry?"
She shook her head. He could understand why, she was a vampire, or half vampire, or something. Food wouldn't have tasted good to her. Only one thing tasted good to her...
Gary shuddered slightly.
He grabbed his pack, "What do we do now?"
She looked at him, "We stay here, for a few days. Then I know somewhere where we can be safe."
Gary shook his head, "I don't like staying in places for too long. More than a day and vampires can smell you out."
She looked at him kindly, "No one will find you, I promise Gary."
He nodded his head, but he still didn't like it.
A crash came from the other room. A small scream uttered from Gary's lips.

 

[RoseThorn]

Rose

Rose picked at the food. She saw Gary's look when he asked about the food. He assumed it was her something about her vampirac half. Actually, she loved the food, and was starving...but Gary made her stomach knot.

She answered his questions. She threw the 'we' in, though she knew it wasn't true. She couldn't travel like a human could. There were a lot of vampires in the city made by her father. While she was here she was safe, he couldn't detect her.

The crash almost sent the poor guy into convulsions. She reach out with her sences, no heart beat. She reach out with her mind, touching three minds briefly. Young vamps.

"Stay here..." Gary started to protest.

"Listen to me Gary, no matter what you hear, don't go out that door..."

She moved faster then sight, she was out the door and behind the vamps before they realized it. They may have been full vamps, but she had eighteen years of experiance.

"You guys wanna check something out, or browsing?" she growled, sitting cross legged in the center of a table. The three almost jumped out of their skins. Three guys, they were dressed in leather and looked like some members of a gang she'd seen forming a week or two ago. She warned the "Helsings"(sp?) the vamps wouldn't stand for it.

"This is our new lair," one snapped stepping forward and letting his fangs show. The others, hearing her heartbeat got more confident, stepping up beside thier friend. She smiled slowly letting her own fangs catch the light. She dug into the part of her she pushed back around the mortals and opened it up. Her eyes glowed yellow, her heart slowed, and she felt her instincts sharpen. They were in her lair, they were in her home, this deserved death.

"Really...?" she hissed rising, she jumped to the floor, stalking forward. They backed away, unsure suddenly at the twist. She moved before the 'leader' could think, slaming a hunting knife through his heart, she closed her eyes and breathed in the scent of his blood, warmed by a human's life. The one to her right thought to rush her while she was gaing her control, she heard him in pleanty of time to repeat the procedure, his ashes joined his friend's.

"What the fuck are you?" the last one whimpered. She moved forward, human slow.

"A monster..." she whispered, stabbing him. A sound arrested her attention and she met Gary's eyes across the room.

 

[poohlive]

Gary suddenly felt sick. She had torn those guys apart. They were vampires, sure, but she had torn them apart.
Torn them apart with her own hand...
Gary walked into the other room and threw up. He felt her come into the room with him. He saw her reach out a hand.
Gary fleed to the opposite wall, "Don't touch me. Don't you ever touch me again."
She seemed hurt by this. Gary didn't care though. He threw up again. There was soo much blood. Why was there soo much blood.
The world spinned. His vision blurred. He swam from one image to the next. He couldn't think clearly, he couldn't even stand right.
Gary blacked out, falling into Rose's still bloody arms.

 

[RoseThorn]

Rose

Rose said nothing for a moment as she held him. She could feel tears welling in her eyes. She should have known better. She was as hated as the vampires....

"I told you to stay..." she whispered softly. She picked him up and carried him to a table. She layed him carefully on it and turned away, pulling her shirt off, she tossed it on the counter to clean up later. She pulled out a bucket and a towel, using water from a jug, quickly making all traces of blood disappear. She dumped the water in the batroom sink. The drainage still worked at least, she could even use the toilet if she brough in enough water. She refilled the bucket and stripped Gary. She washed the puke off him, and re-bandaged the wound which he'd opened in his fit.

The pants and shirt had throw-up on them, the jacket cleaned easily enough. She threw a blanket over Gary and carried him back to his cot. He'd be less like likly to run in his boxers.

She threw the clothes in the sink and soaped them up, letting them soak, she moved back to clean up Gary's mess. Then she finished his clothes and hung them on a line she'd strung in the bathroom. She quietly cleaned up the rest of the night's damage, wishing she could have spared Gary what he saw....

 

[Roland Gilliad]

*he had watched from afar, his eyes flickering in the soft light of the Full Moon...as He crouched there, his hands upon his stakes and they were shaking..with the bloody fear that this just wasent right...his eyes flickered again as he ran back, back the way he came, he didnt know where to go, he stopped in front of the ramada hotel..Somthing screamed at him not to go in there, but he didnt have any other place to go that was secure enough..He burst through the doors and ran down the hall, he felt a crack on the back of his head and he slid forward several feet before stopping, and he was knocked cold as he felt them carry him up the stairs towards somthing..*

 

[poohlive]

He woke up again, feeling sick all over. His head throbbed, his back ached, and his stomache shot pains all over his body.
Gary sat up, putthing his hand to his head. He was almost naked. Why was he naked?
"She touched me," He suddenly felt sick again. Gary got up, grabbing his backpack. He had to leave. He realized he didn't have any pants, shoes or shirts.
Gary didn't care, he needed to leave.
Gary rounded the corner, and saw her.
He stopped...
She was naked, no not naked. She was wearing underwear, and nothing else. He looked at her body, she was gorgeous.
His mind mocked him, a monster, but gorgeous just the same.
Gary saw beauty, and the beast. They were both there, one and the same.
HE turned away, what was he thinking. He was starting to like this girl, becaue she had a nice body?
"And she saved your life..." he said aloud.
She had done that, in this day and age that was rare, extremely rare.
Rose was so much like him. She was running, to keep secret like this, she had to be running away from something. He was runing too, away from his past, from Casandra.
He still loved her so, he didn't realize how much he had loved her, until she had taken him.
Gary looked back into the room, she was putting on a shirt.
He was really torn now. He couldn't go, couldn't leave, but he didn't want to stay.
Gary walked into the room, "Listen, Rose. I am sorry. I didn't mean...."
She turned around, "Gary, it's ok. I told you to wait in the other room, I didn't want you to see."
"It was better that I did. The truth is more important, if we are going to spend a while together, we might as well be honest."
She smiled, nodding her head.
"Why do you have you bag?"
Gary looked at it, he was going to leave her, now the thought seemed foolish. He couldn't fins a better "roomate" then this.
"Oh," he dropped it, "nothing."
She picked up his hand a part of him didn't want her too, but he knew better, "Come on. I want to show you something."
Gary followed.

 

[RoseThorn]

Rose

I took Gary's hand, glad he let me, and led him to a back room. I opened the door and grinned softly as a small bundle of fur rushed me.

"This is Patches..." I said releasing his hand, I picked the small calico kitten up, nuzzling her.

"I found her about a week ago. It made me feel a little saner, not talking to myself." I look at him, hoping he doesn't think it's stupid.

 

[Guest]

Casandra's body was inches away from Harry's now. She could see the sweat beading at his temple. He was quite nervous. "Do you find me attractive Harry?" she whispered in his ear.

Harry nodded slowly.

"Then give yourself to me!" Casandra's mouth was on his neck now. Her tongue rolled over the skin...

 

[Ravenloft]

Harry:

"Please don't turn me..." Harry's voice shook and his body froze in fear. She still held the syringe, if he could just get it back from her... "I... I don't want to loose my soul... I will shoot up if thats what it takes... Even if it will kill me... Just don't... Don't kill my soul!" He was begging, and it made Casandra's nose cringe. How disgutingly cowardly! She thought as she let her fangs drop, the tips pressed against his neck lightly. He shook with fear and she knew he was begining to cry.

 

[Roland Gilliad]

*he awoke in a dark room, he immediatly checked the door, locked from the outside, SHIT He thought, He checked around for a window, nothin, damnit....he checked his entire self...fuck they had gotten everything...his hand fell upon a bluge near his neck..OF COURSE!!!!!!!! Thank god, they hadent gotten that Holy Water or that smoke bomb...shit shit shit...no matches...too bad, it would make for a good ploy, it looked like TNT, a few little riggings and Bam, he's got somthin to defend himself with...if he would need it....He sat on the bed, and watched the door cautiously, he checked the bed itself, metal, thats no good....He grabbed one of the hotel pencils from the nearby desk and grinned, wooden, and sharp, this would do nicely, he secured it in his shirtsleave, hoping he would get the chance to use it if it came to that...But he hoped it wouldnt...he was now in the lions cage...with a knife...but would he find the courage to use it...*

 

[Guest]

Harry flinched as he felt Casandra's fangs upon his flesh. He was covered in sweat by now and almost crying. "Please don't take my soul," he repeated to the she vamp.

Casandra set the syringe down on the table next to them as she placed her arms around Harry. "Relax," she whispered to him. "Just give yourself to me Harry. You'll love it, I swear!"

With that he felt the piercing sting as her fangs sunk into his flesh...

 

[Roland Gilliad]

ooc: oopsa! *laughs*
ic: *roland heard the scream and his eyes closed in silent reverance for a moment, he had heard those screams before..another one bites the dust he thought...God Damn he hoped it wasent the kid....his eyes opened again as the screams finally stopped...And he gazed at the door with longing.................He wanted that too..........*
