*'Sanctuary' for Us *

[slippedhalo]

Nikola Tesla had been miserable when he finally disembarked from the cruise ship he'd stowed away upon. The swim back toward warm civilization had sucked big time. He was happy to be back in Mexico, though. One of his favorite hideaways was there. He owned a day spa tucked away in an area small enough to feel cozy and busy enough to be trendy and where an eccentric like himself could disappear in a crowd now and then and where the locals are poor enough to turn their heads and forget to pay attention when he threw enough money at them. Mexico, Tesla rented a car and headed straight for his day spa.

"Maria, lovely to see you. Please tell the ladies to get my usual room ready. I won't be coming down this evening but please send up some of my supplies and the special from the dining room for dinner at twenty to seven. Good, bueno. Yes, yes, you look very well, chica. Don't ever change. Wake up call at seven-fifteen am, please. I am not to be disturbed until room service." he said, not noticing any eyes following him to the elevator beyond Maria and Carlos...

 

[Asa]

If Kate bit her lip any harder at the outbursts from the guests it would begin bleeding. Trying to regain her composure her eyes moved to Declan... bad move he was fighting laughter too and that charming Brit could not look more adorable trying to maintain composure. She then just looked around the table... no one not stifling laughter or laughing so she stared at her meal and forcing herself to calm enough to eat.

 

[Asa]

Lyda was sitting over by the juice bar blending in like any other socialite hiding out down here for the sun and fun. Dark eyes glanced over... she could smell exactly what he was... well well well the ego with fangs was here... things could get fun now.

~~~~
Isis laughed briefly at the outbursts... It was strange seeing the sister she remembered from long ago and the real Helen... she was not sure she trusted this but Helen seemed to so she would accept it for now.

 

[BiSmiley]

Druitt kept looking between Helen and her look alike the resemblance was uncanny but the moment she spoke all that ended it was a rather intriguing dilemma, her obvious attraction to him was flattering and with Helen's face and form it was rather charming.

"As long as Henry did an adequate job repairing the containment it should be safe." Henry shot an offended look across the table his work kept this place running.

Will finally spoke up after a few moments to think "It's not a viewing gallery, its a holding cell." It seemed childish the way they treated the new guest like a side show attraction "Isis since you apparently spoke to him what else should we know before speaking with this Dragon?"

"Just relax man its not going anywhere and its been a long day we need a rest" Henry chimed putting an ark across Isis's shoulders with a grin as he looked her in the eyes.

"I on the other hand would rather find out if its willing to help capture Melevalen, would cut down on the work load a little." Druitt spoke so casually of letting the monster loose even considering he saw what it could do.

 

[Asa]

Kate

Ummm Setting it free would be a...

She got quickly cut off when Isis cold glance cut to Will

Isis

The Dragon has been told it will remain in containment until it agrees to follow the rules that ALL in the sanctuary Vampire or otherwise are NOT on the hunting agenda or menu... As for what else it said I will not bore our Dinner guests with any more Shop talk Now... Shall we continue this wonderful meal that Big Guy has prepared and be respectful to him in keeping things pleasant.

That same cold look shooting to Druitt.

He leaves containment I will be looking for YOU first Johnny Boy are we clear on that?

Then as if nothing happened She glanced to Henry smiled for a moment and then went back to eating her meal. Within the cold Stare the guests would have seen the very feline gold color to her eyes.

 

[slippedhalo]

Helen was amused at the way the people at her table seemed to flow so easily together, even those for whom this was a first meeting with the group. She hadn't felt so much like a matriarch in her life. She tried to let them get on with the updates and converse freely without too much interruption from herself. It was off time after all and she knew everyone had had quite the tense day and needed to relax. The vampire problem was very troubling, though. And, the looks her clone, Jenny, was shooting across the table at John, and his boyish smiles in return were not at all what Helen would have expected. She wasn't jealous, but she also didn't think this would bode well for either of them. Yet, she also knew if she said a thing about it both parties would take offense to her butting her nose into their private business. So...back to eating. "Does anyone want to propose a toast?" she asked when the conversations at the table turned to more casual things like sports, entertainment and current events.

Jenny stood, "Actually, I would if nobody minds." She held up her wine glass and waited until the others followed. "To new beginnings, new friends and the comfort of old ones in the face of new challenges and opportunities."

When the toast had been completed and everyone was sipping from their glasses Jenny sat and sipped her drink then asked, "I'm feeling kind of punchy tonight. I don't think I'll be wanting to hit the hay for a long while. Does anyone want to hang out and play cards later?"

The movement at the table shifted for a second, everyone looked once from Jenny, to Helen, and back to Jenny again with amusement. This was definitely going to be quite different. Helen Magnus usually had to be dragged into evenings of socializing with her people. She enjoyed the closeness of the group but not the intimacy, and her very private and proper ways often meant she missed out on the more relaxed fun the group could have together and would often have invited her in on if they thought she'd ever actually accept their invitations to ''hang out'' for anything more than the occasional glass of wine or 'family' meal.

Kate grinned, "Yeah, that would be cool. We sometimes have a blackjack or poker night, the boys and me. It would be fun to have another girl or two along. Might make it much more interesting once the booze get flowing..." and she chuckled but this time Jenny was chuckling alongside her.

Helen simply watched with minor disapproval but said nothing. It may be her body but she couldn't make that woman carry herself the same way she would. It would be like her struggles with teenaged Ashley all over again. Sometimes, painful as it may be to watch (painful as a train wreck) one had to let those close to them make their own decisions even if you didn't agree with their methods completely.

Jenny grinned her very characteristically Jenny-like and un-Helen-like grin as she added to Kate while nodding to Ashley, "Happy to add to the estrogen crowd in the place. "

John toasted to that as well and he and Jenny shared a look which had Helen feeling extremely uncomfortable.

 

[YoungLisa]

Ashley listened intently to the conversations and could see her mother’s discomfort. She knew a few subjects would have to be dealt with between them soon; subjects she wished had never been disclosed. Her mind was still tortured by her experience with the Cabal and she squirmed when she recalled how Melaven had told her mother about her sex life. She was young and naive when she decided it was time to lose her innocence but she knew it was something she had to do. Now Melaven had tapped into her memory and shared the experience with her Victorian mother. Somehow it made her feel like a little girl again and that she would have to apologise.

Suddenly she felt all eyes on her as they waited to see if she had something to say. Blushing she answered “There are … is … are one or two things I need to share privately with my Mum” she looked across at Druitt and lowered her eyes before saying “mother and daughter stuff … you … men wouldn’t understand.” She raised her glass and said “It’s been difficult, because even after I was atomised my consciousness continued. I watched the little ceremony; I saw your grief but could do nothing. Then when I got back I found myself locked into a body with something evil. Something we can’t destroy without killing me. Yet …” She hesitated “I do want to propose a toast to someone we all feel uncomfortable with yet without him I wouldn’t be here. I know he’s done some evil things yet when it comes to child welfare he stops at nothing to achieve his aim. He gave me my independence back and was even willing to lose his five hundred year old life to save my mother. Love him or hate him I ask you to join me in raising a glass to Roger de Blythe!”

Meanwhile in Lincoln a young nurse was about to begin her shift. She thought she heard a noise in the female changing room and as she turned she saw a trainee doctor standing there, one of the young men she had fancied for a long time. “Naughty boy” she teased “you really shouldn’t …” She didn’t complete the sentence because the new vampire pounced upon her before claiming her neck and draining the body of its blood.

Further south in the BBC studios a computer expert was checking the script for the live show to go out the next day. All he heard was a sudden rush before he too was drained of his life blood as another new vampire claimed her first kill. It wouldn’t be long before telephones started ringing and Magnus and her team would have a long night ahead of them.

 

[DalekRasputin]

Big Guy was in his element when he saw people enjoying the food he prepared. After the toasts he sig sled to Anthea to help him clear away the plates. As he did he noticed his iPhone buzzing. Picking it up he read the report from Lincolnshire. Going back into the dining area he handed the phone to Magnus c"Sorry to disturb you Mistress. I think you should read this. " With that he ushered Anthea back into the kitchen and invited Jenny to help them. He needed to get the new girls out of the way while the professionals dealt with the problem.

 

[slippedhalo]

Helen looked at the newsfeed and text on Bigfoot's phone. "Good God, she's out of control!" she breathed. "I'm sorry people but for those of us who work in the field I think tonight's Blackjack game has just been cancelled. Everyone take a look at your messages from the last hour and a half."

A chorus of iphones beeped to life at the dinner table, usually a very rude and rare occurrence even in a place as busy as The Sanctuary. Next was a chorus of soft swears and loud complaints. Helen saw the grim determination in the faces all around the table. She rose from her seat and moved to Ashley, hugging her once, a very loooong hug, before whispering, "We'll do everything we can to save you..."

Ashley nodded bravely and her eyes blazed with anger, "Mom, don't coddle me. That bitch needs to die." she said.

Sadly, they all knew what would happen to their Ashley if Melaven died. Helen looked John in the face and told him, "I thought I knew what I wanted before and you did well in getting him far away from here...But, we need him now. Our daughter needs him to figure out the rest of de Blythe's notes."

She turned to the assembly at the table, "Tesla needs to be contacted and brought back. Now, I shall remain behind with Ashley until absolutely needed because I want to start working on some way to keep her form from deteriorating when Melaven is destroyed. Please, don't think this means you can't call me into the field if it becomes more than you can handle. Vampire world domination cannot happen. Not even to keep my dead daughter alive a little bit longer..." she said, her voice breaking when the last part was said.

She looked at Ashley, tears in her eyes as she did, and had to turn away and make herself busy quickly! "You all know where you'll be best made useful. Will and Declan are in charge of your deployments. Dismissed." Helen said as she hurried from the room before her people and her child would see her crying. She had to protect mankind from this. She had no choice. But, how could she do so knowing her only child would die as a result? How will she cope losing her Ashley a second time?

 

[Asa]

Isis

She Followed. Helen.

I have a possible solution just not fully sure how to pull it off. We have 3 soul worms left and two hollow ones here. They would transform to look like Ashley and somehow the soul worms could sever the connection in essence letting only one of them die.

She was sure they would come up with something with all of that... Helen might be able to figure out the details. Her only other idea was a death speaker but that one would be a last resort.

Or... there is the deathspeaker in the wildlands.

She knew she had gotten off easily with the continued protection request for her visit but a visit for another that would kill someone might cost her more.

Kate

Long range... problem removal but we would need to find her to make aure it worked right?

Declan grumbled still reading over the messages from England.

A little easier said than done it would appear unless Ashley can you possibly sense where she might pop up next? Even just a moment or two so Druitt here might be able to meet her there?

 

[YoungLisa]

Melaven watched as the Sanctuary staff ran to their cars, helicopters and other means of transport but there was no sign of Magnus or the pseudo virgin. It was time to talk so she teleported into Magnus’s office just as she and Ashley arrived. “I see you’ve got the message” she mocked “and believe me there’s more, MANY more where that came from. It’s your choice Doctor! This can end now or I can give you three vampires a night. And don’t think you can stop me by killing me. Watch! She raised a hand and thumped herself in the stomach. Immediately Ashley crumpled to the ground. “Mummy won’t want to lose you again will she Ashley Darling?” She mocked.

“What do you want?” Ashley asked “How do we get you to stop?”

“Give me de Blythe, let me kill him completely and I’ll stop.” She looked at Magnus and laughed “Why are you so keen on saving him? Or are you disappointed you weren’t fucked by him when you were alone the other week?” She looked at Ashley “O it was very intense, he even got mummy wet. But then he came over all gentlemanly.” Mocking Magnus she said “You don’t know what you missed. HE’s GOOD! I’ll give him that! Shame he has to die. But there’s always premature ejaculation!” She laughed out loud.

Ashley responded “Mum, kill me now. Finish her! She’s evil”

“Awwww poor little pseudo virgin! You hate me so much you want to die! SHAME!” Turning back to Magnus Melaven said “A twenty four hour truce, then I want de Blythe.” With those words she vanished.

 

[slippedhalo]

Helen moved quickly to Ashley's side, helping her into a stuffed chair and smoothing back her hair from her face she said softly, "Don't worry, Ashley. I have a new ace up my sleeve thanks to your auntie."

She called Isis on her mobile phone saying simply, "Alright, Isis. Let's get this done, Sister. We have less than 24 hours to do it your way or else Melaven will return and you know we're in for a fight then. Soul worms it will be."

 

[Asa]

Isis was already down stairs and quickly grabbed the blue label box with soul worm in it and pulled a hollow one with her intentionally choosing the one that would be slow to process the soul so that they could make sure that Melevan was dead before Ashley was back completely.

Walking in a few moments later with the soul worm and Hollow.

My way... in that case Helen leave the room... You will not be able to handle what will happen. Before this begins... Forgive me Little cub.

Once Helen had been pushed from the office if she had to be Isis turned towards Ashley claws extended her teeth clenched setting herself against this and looked to Ashley

Prepare

With that word spoken Isis lifted her arm and brought claws down across Ashley neck and chest. Once the smell of blood caught her nose the popped open the box and snarled protect the soul but let the connected one die. The shimmering worm seemed to leap forward from the box landing in the bloody wound and began to skreech and drink.

Isis stood ready to catch Ashley as the worm would mask the soul and let the being "die" naturally from the slash. She shifted to her fully feline form knowing this would be a long process and knowing she would not leave Ashley's side and would not let Helen back in until the Soul worm was placing Ashley in the Hollow one Isis prepared for the long night and day.

Helen go... sleep By morning it will be safe for you to view this... trust me sister I am better suited for the darkness of this than you are... I do not even wish this on Druitt to watch nor will he.

Moving to the floor she finished shifting to her feline human form and cradled her Little cub singing in the old tongues of her people soft and low... a lullaby she sang to her as a child.

 

[Asa]

Lyda

She noticed the staff suddenly willing to disobey the vampire... interesting. She followed... she had no idea that her natural stealth was due to what she was but she made sure that no one knew she was there... the vampire might eventually but he was far too self absorbed from what she learned from the strange old man that spoke in her dreams from time to time.

Once she saw where they had gone she had to find a hiding place there as the first pangs of her "condition" struck her... SHIT not now this means in 30 minutes tops she had to go back to her room and take another injection... And right when things were getting interesting. Well he was a scientist... maybe in time this vampire could become of some use and help her by improving the shots to maybe they would be once a week not once a day but that was thoughts for a different day.

 

[BiSmiley]

Henry

Things were getting crazy fast, and he wasn't a field operative Helen's pleas for bringing Tesla back...bad idea but Henry did have something he could help with, at a distance. Typing up an email and attaching the encrypted file about Isis, along with the bio scans of the dragon, Tesla could give us some answers some insight and not get murdered by Druitt for showing up at the door step:

Tesla

Don't assume too much, but I've somethings you should look at might help you get back into the boss's good graces, I've attached an old cabal file for you to decrypt for me, sensitive info on Isis I think you're better with this than I am.
Second Melevalen is really stirring up the shit, apparently sould bound to Ashely or something Isis is doing something stupid I think but a little input would be nice I wont say its from you unless it works...for once.

And last is a really weird one, call it a bribe for you looking into the first two, the scans on a man-made reptillian abnormal, sending over all data collected I'm sure you'll have fun, considering Druitt mention'd vampire blood in his DNA I don't know just some sciency mumbo jumbo take a look and get back to us kay


Henry

Druitt

Having arrived at the TV station he'd allow Kate and whom'ever accompanied her to deal with the hospital bound bloodsucker, until he was finished with this nuisance. It was a mess, one he could fully appreciate.

Where oh where could it be he playfully traversed the shredded corpses, a loud hiss from behind as it lept to pounce upon him only for him to vanish "Over here." He waved sadistically this was going to be long and bloody.

It was a stupid creature unlike the monsters that Tesla and Melevalen represented. All instinct no skill it was a shame, ducking under over and 'porting' in from all angles causing grievous bleeding wounds. Vampires were strong but relied on blood, manage to keep a wound open for long enough and even they can bleed themselves into a coma. It was a delicious brutality using a knife but poking holes in it with his bare hands as he teleported made it scream quite beautifully especially when he got a hold of something 'sensitive'. Piece by piece he had the vampire struggling to stand gaping holes struggling to close themselves several organs strewn about the floor around it.

He was through with toying with it, ripping out the last piece... the heart letting it struggle to pump in his grip and squeezing until he heard it pop and deflate into a quivering lump of meat, and tearing it loose.

"Now to see how the others are fairing." Wiping his hands clean with a handkerchief he vanished from sight.

 

[DalekRasputin]

The Big Guy finished clearing the table and with his new staff washed up and cleaned the kitchen. After he finished he made a thermos pot of Magnus's favourite tea and after sending Jenny and Anthea to recreation he made his way to Helen's room. Knocking on the door he entered and set the pot on the side and got a cup and saucer ready.

"Drink this Mistress" he said "I understand the British won the last war on tea. It won't destroy Melaven but it might help you think a solution. "

With those words he left the good doctor to her thoughts.

 

[slippedhalo]

"Thank you, Friend." Helen said, to her big companion just before he nodded and left her alone...her voice sounded strange in her ears, still shaky as she tried not to remember the sound of Ashley's scream as Isis took over her 'treatment'. Of course, Magnus had read about what soul worms were like and although they were often effective they were not at all a comfortable way to restore life or bring death. 'Agony' was a word which often popped up in the descriptions of survivors of worms...She trusted Isis implicitly. That didn't keep her from wishing she could hold her child's hand. And, if it were to go wrong somehow? She'd never get a proper goodbye... Helen tried to pour herself some tea but her hands shook too badly.

A knock at the door told her someone was there. A voice called out, "Helen, you there?" and it sounded just like her own with an American accent. Helen smiled, her stomach once more doing flip-flops at the possible ways this could also turn out wrong. Somehow Jenny seemed nice enough so far that Helen had no reason not to trust her but she was still a little creeped out by the sight of someone else wearing her skin.

"I am. Come in." Helen said.

Jenny entered and the two regarded each other for a moment. Helen looking worried and somewhat more frail than usual, Jenny looking the perfect picture of vitality and good health. The blonde counterpart had put her hair up into a messy bun and clipped it at the back of her head. Some wisps of long, golden curl had slipped free and she readjusted the hair as she stepped inside the sitting area of Helen's suite.
"I'm starting to get a little annoyed with the hair. It's gorgeous, really, but there's too much of it! Might go for a cut soon." mumbled Jenny as before taking in the chambers where she'd first gotten to know the woman who's body and original hair color she inhabited. It felt like ages ago and was just a few hours ago now.

Helen replied, "Well, it's your hair now. Do as you wish. It really wouldn't be appropriate of me to tell you not to cut it, would it?" Helen said despite wondering how much shorter Jenny would make it. Helen never really thought she'd look right with short hair...But, this wasn't her, she had to remind herself.

"I've never liked that green dress much but it looks pretty on you." noted Helen aloud.

Jenny sat across from Helen and chuckled, "It's a very nice dress. It's not really my style, though. No offense. I hope to look for some other things and to give your clothes back once I've earned some money for myself." Jenny admitted.

Helen shook her head, "None taken, everyone has their own tastes. I think you should go shopping for your own clothes. I would give you some pocket money until your on your feet if it makes you feel more, well, autonomous. It would be no imposition. Kind of like...helping out a sister I never knew I had."

Jenny blushed and shrugged, "I hate feeling like I have to depend on anybody. But, uh...yeah, maybe I might want to just borrow some. I'd pay you back."

"No need..."

"...please! Let me pay you back. Don't argue with me about it, Helen."

Helen acquiesced. "Alright then."

Jenny looked down at the small table. "You've spilled your tea." she observed, finally seeing the worry on Helen's features and her trembling hands. "Let me pour. We'll share a cup and talk. Is the girl...Ashley, is your daughter alright?"

Helen explained what Isis was doing and why to Jenny who made a very good listener. The two of them shared a cup of tea and talked. Afterward, they both felt each understood the other a little better.

Dr. Zimmerman at Sanctuary Helipad:

Will shook off rain as he stepped inside the Sanctuary from the roof-access port and took the elevator down to the lower habitation levels.
Will had been out in the field coordinating operatives from various Sanctuaries to help kill the Melaven created vampires. He was ultimately on a hunt for Melaven but her ability to teleport had her jumping all over the globe. It was driving Will crazy!

He was just returning to change clothes and ask Henry for any possible techno junk he could use to make his job a little easier.

<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
Tesla's Mexican Day Spa:

Nikola Tesla was working on his pet project and concentrating, knowing the package with the second of five pieces would be coming from Hollywood California anytime. He checked his email to see if there was anything which could cause a delay in his work and saw...An email message from Henry Foss. "Robot Dog? What could he want?" Nikola asked himself aloud before opening and reading the message. "Ah, I see...The plot thickens."

 

[Asa]

Isis

To strike Ashley like that to place a near fatal strike against someone she viewed as nearly her own flesh and blood Isis had to place her mind in a dark place... Sitting there cradling the body she awaited the Soul worm to slither from the wound. Still growling out the ancient lullaby she stared at the wound and the fragile face now so pale again... The death this action should cause should be more than enough for such an action but still it was Little cub laying there. The Hollow one stood near by awaiting the soul worm and the spirit it would place within it. The only purpose for these creations was for lost souls this would be a first as far as Isis knew in alternative uses for a Hollow one.

Lyda

She monitored Tesla as often as possible without raising suspicion. Daily injections making it a bit of a pain at times to keep tabs but it was a part of her life she was not willing to give up. A shot was far better than death so she put up with it but in time perhaps Vampy here might be able to help her make the shots more long lasting.

The question was what was he working on? Her mind raced over possibilities... by calculation and deduction eliminating some ideas and retweaking others... It was like she could see several possible options... It was like her mind worked like the police and detectives they try to portray on TV only... real. At times it was an annoyance but other times like now it was fun.

Following him to each delivery she finally had to take her injection with her on his ventures to leave the Spa to acquire items for whatever this was he was working on. He seemed to be urgent in his requirements and assembly of this device.

 

[YoungLisa]

It was always part of vampire folk law that once a human became one of the so called ‘undead’ they ceased to have an eternal soul. Yet de Blythe found himself proving the assumption to be wrong as he found himself hovering above his own body looking down. But as he did he felt himself being pulled towards the room where Isis was working with Ashley. The soul worm that was keeping his physical being alive was also working in unison with the one trying to complete the separation of Ashley and Melaven.

As the work took place it was evident that the worms were not doing what Isis wanted. Instead they were tying Ashley and de Blythe together. Knowing Melaven was now completely out of control de Blythe knew there was but one course of action that would destroy her completely without harming Ashley. But to achieve it he had to first disable Isis temporarily to stop her work with Ashley.

Watching Isis strike the young girl de Blythe watched as her spirit left her body in death. As death took her de Blythe slid his own spirit into her. As he lay there he had to quickly adjust to the feeling of being in a warm human body with female organs. He felt his host’s breasts strain against her bra and definitely noted the absence of his penis. But he didn’t have time to dwell on the strangeness time was ticking away. Using all the muscles in the young body he pushed Isis away and as she stumbled he noticed the syringe containing anaesthetic. Lunging forward he pushed it into her arm and pushed sending her into unconsciousness.

 

[Asa]

Isis

Staggering back at the assault. Isis fading quickly into the depths but something happened. The aura around her transformed heavy dark and evil. Her black fur seemed different as it oozed from her like oil. Her eyes appearing like bloodied gold. Isis was gone... replaced with something potentially much worse.

She looked to Ashley... the shell at least and De Blythe... creative allegedly locked within his own body he was able to find an escape to cause more problems... Whatever was left within Isis really didn't care... he would be dead in time... all of them would. She had been attacked but it did not matter... for now. Her height elongating as she took on her full Feline/human form. NO roar from pain no sound of any emotion.

Once the transformation was complete the being standing there simply looked around recognition of where she was came quickly. She held no sign of any emotion as she moved to the door and knocking it open she stalked out the only thought for now was to leave... there were far too many emotions and loving crusades in this place driving her from here... The division between Her darkness and loving side was complete and now she was nothing but death.

Declan

He knew the orders had been not to enter the office but he could at least hopefully open the door and slide her some food in... Isis was so dedicated to Magnus and Ashley... It was inspiring to him and a comfort that there was someone willing to stand up to Magnus when she needed it and watch over her as well.

Seeing Isis walk down the hall in her other form he became concerned.

Isis... Is there a problem... Whoa whats wrong...

His words were simply answered by a dead cold stare and a massive arm backhanding him into a wall shattering the glass in a large portrait on the wall knocking him out cold.

Isis simply continued on her path as if nothing happened. Her path would not be halted it did not matter who got in front of her she would kill if she had to. Something changed her path mid step she began making her way into the bowels of the Sanctuary moving towards the labs. She stood over the body of the being she saw with Ashley. A crushed skull... a ripped out heart... and no one to stop her.

A cruel sadistic grin furled the feline muzzle as she picked up the body staring at it. Claws digging into the throat as she flung the body across the lab against the stone wall careful not to damage any of the equipment... the things had not harmed her only the beings.

A roar erupted from her echoing through the ancient stone structure... Death had returned.

 

[BiSmiley]

Asteroth

Something was a miss in this place...

Something stank of fresh death, this was 'supposed' to be a Sanctuary so why the stench. Despite the cat's warning he made his decision. Releasing his tail it lunged into the glass containment piercing the glass. The electric shock was immensely painful, but no magic would hold him here not now. Wrenching free he struck at it again and again lights flickering throughout the ordeal, breathing heavy with steam rolling away from his scales and flesh, he gathered his strength and braced himself against the back of his cell.

Pushing off as if to take flight he barreled into the weakened barrier crashing through in a mess of shattered glass and broken metal. Shrugging it off he made his mind to seek out this stench, following his sense to a large open room filled with more magical tomes and pedestals reminded him of the vampire laboratories where he was created.

He saw the source, of it the black cat gone feral ripping and clawing at a vampire corpse ~you want this to be a sanctuary...I must say you're failing your duty~ His words cold as he closed the distance between them tail snaking behind him in step. He took her by the shoulder and flung her across the room ending in a brutal crash looking down at the butchered creature the smell of vampire hung on its remains ~was he the one you were trying to protect from me...pity I missed the opportunity, to think I would have agreed to your terms~

 

[Asa]

Isis

She stood slowly shaking off the throw and roared again. There was something very different about the feline this time as she lunged seeming not to recognize the dragon at all. Her eyes more brutal more cold murderous as she was more than willing to kill either of them it really didn't matter.

Kate

Hearing noise and finding Declan she ran to the nearest security panel and slamming the lock down button and began the protocol room to room search weapons ready. As if things with Melevan was not enough now this... whatever it was.

Big Guy could you get Declan to the infirmary make sure he is alright... East wing third floor... I will begin security sweep.

Isis hearing the alarm and the door snapping shut locking the three of them in she roared again.

 

[BiSmiley]

Asteroth

Stepping forward Asteroth cracked his neck, a full stomach and a warm enviroment now this was his place for a fight. She'd gone feral lost control he'd seen it before and had to deal with it many times in the past though some endings were bloodier than others.

He roared back at her tail cracking like a whip, fangs and claws extended ~you have rage to release, come then!~

 

[Asa]

Isis

Speaking... interesting

Rage... perhaps... Against you... no...

She laughed... a sound as hollow and dead a tomb.

Seems the humans are scared... They are not used to the division yet in their feline ...friend... Even she is angry with me. This one...

She pointed to the vampires body...

They have him to thank for the completion of this division... Now... just to ensure that he can not but his vermin hide in and try to fix this... She needs this... Needs ME!

She roared again standing there growling low the scattered mind slowly coming together more of what the cabal did to her sparking to life in this completely "monster" side of her.

Kate had cleared the floor she found Declan on and hearing the noises she headed down checking as she went just in case. First finding the shattered containment.

SHIT!!!!

Getting a Electro Rifle and cranking it to safeties max and began hunting till she saw the camera feed from the sealed off labs.

What the...? Ohh this can't be good!

Thinking quickly she tried to figure out who would survive that room better and not liking is but having little choice she called Druitt.

We have a huge HUGE problem... Isis... De Blythe and the Dragon Locked down together in the labs and De Blythe is down and Isis looks... Weird...

Druitt & Asteroth

Receiving the call after dispatching the second vampire Druitt arrived bloody and dishevelled beside Kate "What happened?"


Asteroth closed the distance between them in a split second driving a fist into her gut, and letting his tail sweep the legs from under her ~you're feral...give into it and I will be forced to end you~ he hissed staring down at her hoping he wouldn't be pushed into making this decision...again.
