a victims' revelation....

OOC: many thanks; its fine btw, it adds to the drama
BIC: Jahhar turned to look towards Shadow. "I didn't place her on the path she is on now, I just gave her more choices." He turned to look towards Tvim and walked towards her. "Try feasting on my corpse before you ruin another dragon's life." he snarled at her. "My life was ruined because of a vampire. I won't stand by and watch the same happen to others!" he shouted at her, "I will do what I can, even if I fail at times..." his voice drifted off at the thought of Ionni.

 

Milky blue eyes, like that of a serpent about to shed it's skin, turned t'words Jahhar. <span style='color:blue'>This woman deserves the pain and tourture coming to her. She was the imprisoner of many a nioti, and though she saved the only mortal i care about, the nioti she did not save demand at least some suffering to her ON THEIR BEHALF!!</span> The last three words were yelled to the sky. She spun to Jahhar from glaring evilly at 'Strella. <span style='color:blue'>Give them, at least that peace considering one of them was one of us.</span>

 

<p align=justify><span style='color:blue'>This is a nightmare. A sodding, bleeding mother of a nightmare. </span>

She glared angrily at her assailants, her rain coloured orbs reduced to slits. But her words were muffled and sounded more like a strangled cry than anything else. She was anything but menacing.

A bleeding nightmare. Blood. She nearly laughed at the irony of her own thoughts. But somehow she knew that had she wanted to laugh, the sound would probably have been smothered long before it reached her throat. She doubted she would ever be able to laugh again.

She felt like crying, like bawling right in front of her great killers like a bloody niotie. Crying for what? For mercy? Probably not. Those tears would be tears of frustration, of humiliation. She was fed up. Fed up of failing again and again. Fed up of always doing the wrong thing. Fed up of wanting to change but always reverting back to her old ways. She was fed up of herself, and fed up of life.

And yet she did not want to embrace death. Not in this way. There was no way she was getting out of this alive. Not against one of the vampire kind. But if she had to go, she would bloody well put up a fight.

<span style='color:cornflowerblue'>Leave me alone you filthy half bloods.</span> This time the words poured out of her freely, echoing in the wind.

 

Tvim spun to the 'dragon, a snarl lit upon her lips as tears welled in her eyes. Her claws gripped the 'dragon chest fur and lifted her from the ground. <span style='color:blue'>You have no say in your fate.</span> she snarled. She saw visions of the boy she watched grow as she bared her teeth and opened for the kill.

A small red 'dragon came zipping around the corner of a rock, he fell slightly over and looked up and saw Tvim about to bite through the neck of 'Strella. <span style='color:yellow'>TVIM, STAND DOWN!</span> he rushed to her and gripped her leg. Tvim looked down at him, her mouth closing slightly with 'Strella still hanging in the air. The boy cried into Tvim's fur <span style='color:yellow'>Don't do it, don't convert her!</span> he said over and over.

 

Ionni watched as the 'dragons cussed and snarled at each other. One approached. Ionni giggled and reached out her hand. <span style='color:red'>And why have you come to my need?</span> She smiled like a litttle girl. He propped her against his chest and began mumbling. Ionnis realism side was screaming, and it wasn't long before Ionni could understand what he was saying. Bloody hands held her tight and she was back in reality. In desperate attempt, she bit his hand and leapt back. <span style='color:red'>You rotten fuck! Trying to play games are you?</span> Ionni's eyes sharpened and her knives of claws were exposed. <span style='color:red'>Ill kill you for this! Ill rip you apart and eat your insides!</span> She snarled and hissed. The vampire stood in disbelief. Ionni could not believe herself. <span style='color:yellow'>What the fuck has gotten into you?</span> her other thoughts took over, <span style='color:yellow'>kill him and enjoy it!</span> Ionni lept forward and slashed at the vampire. This was going to be bloody and long. <span style='color:red'>What the fuck am I?!?!</span>

The sound of distant footsteps came treading through the snow. No, the sound of two sets of footsteps came. One sounding heavier than the other. Two silver eyes scanned out over the snowy wasteland followed by the distant sigh. The creature was indeed we known through out the lands. He was indeed one of the strongest nosferatu. Sieben gave a grin and looked over towards his counter part, Adara as she stood there a long side him with her eyes fixed onto the area. "Did you not hear that, master? The sound of a bloody cry." Adara spoke kneeling down against the ground slipping her coal colored paw against the chilled snowy earth.

This didn't bother Sieben much at all, it merely made him laugh aloud and extend his skeleton wings out. Every joint within the wings popping and cracking against the feel of the cold and centuries without use. Sieben grinned once more and moved away from Adara. "Time to go and put some wanna be bloodsuckers in their place." He spoke with another loud laughter as he removed his white business suit coat and placed it on a wooden rod stick up out of the ground. It has been far to long since Sieben had to fight with his own kind to make things right, but he was going to.

Adara reached her hand up and slipped it along the side of her face with the snow still on it before standing back to her feet. She shakes her head lightly and sighs as she followed after her master without so much as a say so in his actions or anything. Master is right, we must set things right. Maintain the balance of things. She thought giving a shudder as she pressed on.

 

Jahhar gritted his teeth. "Its no matter and there is no evidence behind your claims about what this dragon has or has not done." spoke Jahhar, his words filled with poison. He drew his sun katana. The heat from it started melting the snow around him. "Put down that dragon or you'll be dead!" The katana grew brighter as Jahhar's anger grew towards Tvim. His muscles tensed. "I will shed your blood if you do the same to that dragon."

 

Ionni's glare sharpened to the vampire. Her thoughts were red and horrifying. <span style='color:yellow'>You cannot escape me, Ionni, I will kill you now, and forever relinquish your true self!</span> Rage overcame her, and she lept forward, and bit the vampire in the shoulder. She tasted blood, and shuddered. <span style='color:yellow'>Feed on the eternal drink, and taste the lust of your being!</span> Ionni spun backward. <span style='color:red'>Go away you fuck!</span> She fell to the ground and began clawing at the cold surface. She glanced over the the vampire. <span style='color:red'>P-Please...Help me...end this suffering...plea-</span> She choked, and her eyes were a flaming balck, and they quickly turned into a dark red. <span style='color:red'>N-No....No!!!</span> She took the dagger and shoved it into her chest, but her mind would not allow this. <span style='color:yellow'>You resist the eternal drink?! Cursed you!</span> Ionni spun around and was trying to force the dagger into her chest, but she resisted, and let out a loud howl. Her time was coming. The evil and suffering crept up her legs, a hot and burning sensation, slowly coming to her chest. <span style='color:red'>Relenquish me! Convert me into....my....true self...</span> Her breathing was irregular and her voice rough and very scratchy. She lost track of time, love, and anything else that mattered... She would soon have to forget all of that...

 

Tvim snarlred at Jahhar's comment and raised the 'dragon higher, ready to bite into her flesh, but as she looked down at the little boy, She flung 'Strella as far away as she could and looked away to the area where she had held her hangging, <span style='color:blue'>Get out of here before I change my mind.</span> She whispered. She reached down and pulled Tsuj off her leg and held him up in her arms. Tears still ran down his face and Tvim touched her forehead to his. She held Tsuj out t'words 'Strella. <span style='color:blue'>Does HE look familar to you! He was one of those imprisioned by you. He's grown since though and only through his kindness were YOU, the very one who imprisioned him, spared.</span> The growled again as she brought Tsuj closer to her and hugged him tight. She dropped him as she sank to the floor and her hand went to her head. Could it be true that the only mortal she cared for, was about to cost her her life, for if she drank not tonight, she would surely die. She released a saddening blood-curdling howl, announcing her death, and yet, asking for help to stay alive.

 

Sieben laughed off in the distance as he approached the interesting vamp 'dragon, Tvim. A smirk crossed his face slowly and his long black nailed paws came out of his pants' pockets. He coiled one of his paws in a fist as the other hang loose down at his side. "Stop your whining...if you really are a creature of the night, you're body will regenerate from the hunger slowly. But that is if you can pervent yourself from going mad." He grinned big before slipping his tongue along his fangs grazing it to bleed. He spat his blood on the ground and came right up on Tvim before reaching his loose paw out and slicing the palm of his coal flesh open. "Drink...if you must feed."

Adara came up along side Sieben and looked up at him as he stood there with his blood filling hand near the face of the other vampire, Tvim. She reached her paw up and bit hold of her index knuckle just looking on to the blood in her master's palm. Her eyes dialated as any vampire's would at the sight of their master's blood. She winced a bit as the hunger became a bother. She turned her eyesaway from Sieben's hand and looked over towards Jahhar, trying to change her focus. She smiled at him and gave a wink as again her vision shifted down onto the cub there on the ground, crying. Why was it crying?

 

She knelt in front of his paw, she drank deeply from the blood issuing forth. As she raised herself, she thanked him immensly with a short bow. Before she walked off to pick up the small child again. She stopped short though as if something invisible lay in her path.

 

<p align=center>Estrella was utterly confused. And mildy relieved, too. She had just been thinking that she hadn't ever really cared for anyone in this world and that if this night was to be her last she would probably not have left any traces in any other pendragon's heart, when the face of certain little red someone sprung to her mind. She discarded it quickly and resolutely though, willing herself to concentrate on the present moment.

It was then that Tvim struck and Estrella found herself pinned, powerless against the vampire even as she struggled with all her might. Her clear eyes were blinded with tears, both of pain and frustration, even as she looked up to her aggressor, her jaw clenched and her brow furrowed. How ironic that that horrendously musclular and masculine body of hers could do nothing to save her from her fate! So many times she had cursed the higher beings that be for having cursed her with such an ugly appearances. How many times had she consoled herself in the fact that she would be a better fighter and tougher opponent than any of those delicate and fragile other femmes? And now, these muscles, this bulk, of what use were they?

Looking beyond Tvim, Estrella's mind must truly have tricked her for she thought she saw the face of the very 'dragon who had been on her conscious. His little (well not so little anymore) red face was looking up at her...

Don't do it. Don't convert her. Don't do it. Don't convert her.

Was he defending her? After all she had done?

Estrella didn't have long to ponder on these thougths however, and suddenly found herself being flung away from the battle, the vampire's harsh words echoing in her mind but not registering fully...

She was... Free? She could go?

Turning to Tsuj with some difficulty, 'Strella chanced a weak and painful smile.
"Hiya Kiddo" she barely managed, trying to get back onto her feet, but crumpling under the weight of her body.

Ionni was coughing and biting her lip. Death was to her stomach, coming slowly up her breasts, her neck, running through her eyes. <span style='color:yellow'>Yes...reveal me into this world!!</span> Ionni barked and spun over on her back. Her soft black eyes were now a dark red, and Ionnis swarthy complexion was revealing a dark red fur. Her gold glow was now black, and her eyes glowing as well. Ionnis human side was screaming, clawing at her side. <span style='color:yellow'>You asshole! You've ruined everything you fuck! Don't make me go!</span> Ionni stood up and let out a loud howl, snarling, and growling roughly. <span style='color:yellow'>I am your master now, your true being!</span> Ionni turned to the other dragon. An evil smile cracked across her face. She held out a hand, binded with razor sharp claws. <span style='color:red'>Ionni Kyluu, at your service my master...</span> She bowed politely and looked up. <span style='color:red'>I need to feed my crave. I need to feed, my master...</span> Ionnis humanistic side was now a red and black world, cursed by lust of blood...

 

Sieben grinned and closed his blooded hand into a fist before opening it again, shaking his hand of the remaining blood, flinging it about the place. He reached it up and slipped his tongue along his palm then walked over towards the Tvim coming to a stop along side her. "You have the power now...use it. Don't let your petty feelings for the living stop you from become what you truely are." He spoke to her with a chuckle before walking on by moving through the snow with his eyes locked onto the next vampire victim of his.

Sieben moved on and on till coming to the sick twisted creature Ionni. He laughed and with one quick motion, he had the creature back onto it's feet and pressed back against one of the anicent stone pillars that stood unchanged for centuries out in the wasteland of snow. He gazed into the red irises of Ionni before leaning in closer to her face getting a hint of her slowly fading, pendragon scent. "Master? For one split moment you see me feed that of another...starving vampire and you think that I'm your master? I like that." He grinned and leaned further in just till he came to the recent bite wounds she recieved and noticed how fresh they was still. He spoke under his breath as that of his long tongue extended from his maw then snaked it along the still bloody bite marks, hinting her slowly vampiric changing blood. "Mmm...hasn't aged enough. But the sweet meats always seemed to have a bit more of a kick. He spoke with a sly smile, drawing back from Ionni. His hand remained against her chest holding her weaked form against the pillar. Then he reached his other hand up placing it to his own lips and biting into the flesh of his wrist. He growled a bit and drew it back with his dark blood following from it then offers it to the straving Ionni. "Feed your desire...become strong."

 

Tvim growled slightly at the vampire's comment. She knew it was true, but she could do nothing about it. She walked over to 'Strella and looked down at her in a superior way. She knelt softly and got her face right next to 'Strella's. <span style='color:blue'>Cross my path again, and you better hope Sieben's there to save you.</span> She knew his name because practically all vampires knew him. Tsuj had heard this as he had rushed to 'Strella's side to help her. <span style='color:blue'>But, he is right,</span> she admitted rising slightly <span style='color:blue'>Tsuj, you're in my way of being a vamp.</span> She turned away and followed after Sieben. It seemed as though now, something continued pulling her t;words him.

 

Ionnis eyes peered up to Sieben. She willingly took his hand, and slowly moved her hand across, letting the blood drip down her chill. Shuddering, she went for more. <span style='color:yellow'>This is your lust, my dear...Make it worthwhile</span> Ionni let her eyes into Sieben's. <span style='color:red'>T-Thankyou master...</span> She sucked the blood, and leaned back, letting her tongue wander on her lips, letting the blood almost melt in her mouth. A femme approached. Ionni stared back at the other vampire. Her eyes wandered and she laughed, closing her eyes. <span style='color:red'>My times are now changing. My course of life is forever destroyed</span> She giggled. <span style='color:red'>Im almost enjoying it...</span> She licked the last bit of blood that came down from Siebens hand, and let it roll down her throat. <span style='color:yellow'>It tastes...as if it were a saphire heart, or a ruby ornament...</span> She shivered agian, breathing out a warm scent. <span style='color:red'>Does the first sensation of blood on your tongue always feel as good each time?</span>

 

Jahhar stood back with his arms crossed. Seeing Sieben here was a surprise. He glanced towards Strella before looking back towards Sieben and Ionni. Sieben was binding Ionni to her new lusts. She would be another vampire to feast thoughtlessly on thousands of victims. Prehaps Shadow was right, it would have been better if Shadow had stolen all of Ionni's blood and left her to die. Jahhar gave Ionni a sorrowful look. "I had faith that you would control your lusts..." even though Ionni probably couldn't hear him. He continued watching.

 

Sieben grinned at Ionni and reached his slightly bloody hand up and touched it to her cheek gently. "Your life is not destoryed dear, Ionni. It has just took a dramatic turn and became more...simple." He spoke to her as his fingers caressed down along the side of her cheek then grazed along her slowly healing bite marks. "You have to look pass the white film that now blankets your future and see what is really out there for you. With your new found abilities, there are countless things that one like yourself can do...but try your best to hide your vampirism." He spoke to her as he has done the same over thousands upon thousands of years. His fingertips drifted back up to rest at her cheek.

He grinned at her next words and gave a soft nod. "Yes, the feeling of first bite will be the same everytime. As if you are being sexually pleasured but it is just your chilled blood waking at the merging feel of another." He spoke to her take a step back slowly from Ionni. He removes his hand from her chest and leads it out to holding it turned up incase that she would want someone to act as a guide for her away from the support of the pillar. "Take your time...take a moment to gather your barrings."

He winced a bit at the sound of a voice that he really didn't need to hear at the moment. But nonetheless his features shaped and formed a new evil, prehaps insane smile. He tilts his head back and looks to that familiar 'dragon breaking out in a grin. "So, the poor little bloodhound has came out of hiding after all this time. I must admit that you are no different from the last time...I tasted you." Sieben spoke with a spat as he turned around to face Jahhar. "Adara...help our dear Ionni while she is regaining herself. I have to speak with my old...bloodling." He spoke moving through the snow towards Jahhar.

Adara looked towards her master wincing a bit before giving a nod going to the aid of Ionni. She extends her coal paws out and places them on Ionni's waist looking up into her eyes. "Take it slow okusama, don't rush yourself." She spoke in the stead of Sieben moving back away from the pillar with light steps.
