The Taken (actual RP start)

For years, people from the small town of Pittville, Mississippi have been disappearing. No one knows where they go, and no one knows how they're taken. They just simply disappear. At last, you're taken, too, to an underground settlement of slaves- blood slaves. Yes, vampires exist, and they need blood- they're not immortal like some believe they are. You want to resist and run away, but it's so hard not to fall for them with their sweet, alluring words and their attractive appearance. Could it be possible that you could find true love? Or will you try to escape, overcoming the temptation of staying? Your choice. _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _ Artemis sighed as she looked up at the dark, cloudy sky above her. A single raindrop splattered on her nose and she hurried along, hoping she'd reach home before it began raining hard. She decided to cut through an alley that ran through the middle of a block and was a shortcut to her house. Bad idea. About halfway through, something hit Artemis hard over the head- she hadn't even realized anyone was there- and she passed out. When she woke up, she was in a cell. A single bare yellowish lightbulb dangled from a cord in the center of the tiny room, emitting a faint glow. The air was cool and smelled a bit stale, and a spider crawled up one of the bars of the cell, as Artemis noticed out of the corner of her eye. She cursed herself for choosing to take that shortcut, but she wondered all the same, who would kidnap her? And why? Then she heard a male voice out of the darkness outside her cell. "You're awake." Artemis caught sight of a slight movement in the dark, but couldn't make out what the person looked like. At last, a tall boy about her age emerged into the pool of light the lightbulb let off. He unlocked the cell door and stepped inside. "Hold your hands out and be still," he ordered, his voice commanding. "Why?" asked Artemis. "DO IT!" he shouted, and surprised, Artemis obeyed. He shackled them using a pair of handcuffs he produced from his pocket and dragged her out of the cell by the chain. They went up a flight of stairs, and through a door. Artemis blinked at the sudden light, her eyes squinted.

Dasha stood atop a balcony, leaning comfortably on the edge, and gazed out at her surrounding. How lucky she was to live inn such a lavish home with such an excusite taste in food and humans. She glanced down as she heard a door open and the promising clank of chains which indicated the arrival of a new play thing. "Oh Richard," she crooned, her voice rich and smooth. "Have you brought a new toy for me? I dare say the last one was no fun at all." a small crease formed between delicate eybrows at the memory of her last human. Far too submissive, that one. She quickly descended a sweeping staircase, the train of her chartruse gown rustling behind her, sounding like the wind gently blowing through the leaves of the many willow trees on the estate's grounds. ((I didn't know whether your characters were still inside or not, but I suppose my post could work either way. :P))

Aralece smiled at the mirror and winked at her reflection happily, "Aralece you out do yourself everyday, don't you think so dear?" She turned to stare at the young girl in the mirror. Aurana nodded quickly at her mistress, "Yes miss," She answered, staring at the floor. Aralece smiled, "We're having company tonight, and I do so want to impress everyone," She smirked, "Or, at least all the males," She shimmied her hips seductively and winked again. Her fiery red curls were piled atop her pale head, showing off her slender neck. The light gold dress hung to her curvy frame, as if made for her body. Her emerald green eyes seemed to glisten beneath the black kohl eyeliner, and her perfect cupid's bow lips gleamed red, but whether from the blood in her wine glass or the cherry red lipstick, no one knew. She smirked again, yes Aralece was beautiful, but all vampires were. "Your dear sister will be there," Aralece teased. Bria glared at the apartment she was being forced to live in. Being a vampire was supposed to mean power! Was supposed to mean a huge town house like Aralece's or a huge estate like Dasha's, but no. Bria was a NEW vampire and there were "Codes" about rooming in places where the rats wouldn't even go. But dear little miss Aurana got to live in a comfy townhouse, being maid to stupid Aralece and all her stupid whims. But Bria would find a way to move up, even if it meant killing.

Richard sighed. "Yes," Artemis glanced up at him worriedly and he turned to face her. "Alright, you should know now. We're vampires here." Then he turned around and started walking again as if that should satisfy Artemis's curiosity. "W-what?" she stuttered. "Yes," he said, "Now be quiet or you'll be in trouble."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:44:38 +0100

A slow smile parted Dasha's lips as she approached Richard and her toy. Her face fell slightly as she saw the girl, and she took a few moments to regain her composure. "Dear, I thought I told you I wanted a boy this time," she murmured so only he could hear. Louder, she said, "Thank you, love, she is going to be wonderful!" Dasha now turned her attention to the girl, walking around her in a slow circle. She inspected her hair, her eyes, and the pulse in her throat. "Splendid," she purred, slowly tracing a line down her neck. "So tell me, darling, what is your name?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Tue, 31 Jan 2012 13:46:16 +0100

"Artemis," said Artemis, gritting her teeth. She glanced around, looking to see if there was any way out of here. Thre were none that she could see.

(Mello Keehl and xxbvbarmygirlxx may I join you, if not I’ll correct it but I thought she could be visiting Dasha or something if you don't mind.) Alexandria leaned in the doorway, looking out onto the street, she liked watching the outside world even when it was quiet like it was now, she liked to see the humans go about their lives oblivious. Strange, she would have thought it would make her feel powerful but mostly it just made her other, still, something inside of her made Alex relish the feeling of difference. Hearing the sound of Dasha talking upstairs she pulled away from the door and went to see what was happening, followed as always by her loyal Simon.

Her mother had been sent to Mississipi. Astrid had no idea why she seemed so nervous the day they arrived. Her mother told her flat out never to leave the house without the amulet and a small dagger. Astrid obeyed surely but was confused by it all. She walked out into the night then quickly grabbed her purse from the doorway, her amulet had been emitting a faint glow since the day had begun and she had no idea why. She had a party to attend that night. She had painted her Asian features charmingly and her long black hair hung softly about her face. She had the odd look that so many ascribed to being among the pretty and charming of the world. She straightened her tight fitting gown and walked out to her silver Mercedes and climbed in. She started the engine and drove to the parking lot nearby where the party was being held. Cutting her engine she felt an odd stillness about her. She could no more say why the amulet had begun to throb then why she suddenly felt ill.

((Sweet.)) Dace Renard (which wasn't her real last name, of course) had decided to spend the evening stalking around a place where, urban rumor had it, a party would be held that night. It was a delightful opportunity. So many people getting drunk and dropping al their inhibitions like so much dead weight, ready to go anywhere and do anything with any pretty face...and Dace had a very pretty face. All her kind did. It came with the package, along with being the perfect predator and developing a sudden taste for human blood. Not that Dace dropped her enjoyment of human food -- it just didn't nourish her body anymore. Oh, how delightful. A silver Mercedes pulled into the lot and the engine shut off. Peering through the gloom, Dace could see a very lovely-looking woman sitting behind the wheel. Asian features, artistic makeup, and an expensive dress. Perfect. Dace approached the car, silent as a cat. ((By the way, what exactly does that amulet of hers do?))

(Amulet is an alert system that lets her mother and her mother's friends find her quickly in the event something goes wrong. It also alerts the wearer. While it does take some time to trace it is connected to her mother's own amulet and was passed down the family line. Some have claimed it turns into a cross with a jeweled center when the girl has been given the vampire hunter title. She does know what a vampire is and can fight back. In essence she's sure to give someone a run for their money.) Astrid looked about her into the darkness. Her eyes saw her own in the mirror and then her amulet glowed in the darkness. She recalled her mother telling her it was a bad thing..very bad indeed when it began to glow. Her heart caught in her throat and she shifted the dagger out from her purse. She had been taught to fight..had been taught to identify evil. She was far from perfect but she had been told it might be enough to save her. The stories still amazed her to some extent. She pulled out her cell phone and tucked it into her pocket before hooking the bag onto her arm. Her dagger lay in her right hand, poised for what danger she felt was lurking as she opened the car door and stepped out of her car.

Athenadora stared at the ground absently moving her finger over the surface. She waited until her master found her knowing he would eventually. She had no clue how to escape this place and sometimes she wondered if she ever would know. She layed down now and stared up at the sky. _ Sander was in his room looking through papers he was getting hungry for blood. Hm.... time to find his slaves. He stood up and walked out of his room and started to call their names loudly. He knew they would come. Then again they had no choice. At that a grin spread over his face.

"Well, Artemis, I'm sure you'll love it here." Dasha smiled warmly and took the girl's hand, turning to lead her away. "Now, the first thing you must know is that, despite the seeminly endless freedom there is to be found here, I do have a select number of rules that must be upheld at all times. One, you are never to enter the northern wing, those rooms are for my eyes only. Two, you mustn't try to sneak out. I do keep a few watchful eyes on the estate and they could potentially kill you if you startle them. Three, never show anything less than your best. It is rather unbecoming if one reveals their sloppy side to others. Very unattractive." Dasha finished her mini lecture and remained silent, letting the words sink in. She eyed Alex standing in yet another doorway and waved, changing her course so that she was now approaching her friend instead of the doors that lead to the central ballroom.

((Are they all in the same house...?)) "Athenadora," Williams' cold voice sounded just beside her. He was standing above her on the grass some ways away from the house. They were still on his land, of course, but each time she ran away, he found himself having to search a bit longer to find her. "You ran away again." He was not amused.

Caspar walked the empty streets of yet another small town in Mississippi. This place was the state of small towns and a perfect place for vampire covens. He had listened in on a few conversations about missing people in this area. That was always the first sign of a local vampire nests. Those creatures fed on humans and would keep draining them until there were none left. He gripped his gun tighter and scanned the street for any trace of life.

Melanie stalked the streets next to Caspar, holding her gun ready in her hand. Her blue-green eyes darted warily around, looking for any bloodsuckers that might be out and about. She sighed and said, "Maybe we should try a different area or something, it doesn't look like there's anything here." Mel wasn't too fond of wasting her precious time.

Athenadora saw William block the lovely sky out with his big attractive face. She stood u[ immediatly, "Mmhm, your point is," she muttered looking down at her feet, annoyed.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:21:18 +0100

((Thanks Mello Keehl :) I love Andy :) )) Artemis nodded, still a bit shocked at finding out vampires existed.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:40:14 +0100

Will frowned deeply at her insolence. Some sort of punishment would have been dealt at this time, but he had to keep her presentable when they went to Richard's estate. He would save that for later and instead grabbed her roughly by her arm and towed her back to the house. --------------- "There's gotta be something around here," Caspar scuffed the sidewalk with his shoe in annoyance. "People just don't go missing like this, Mel." He looked around again and spotted someone getting out of her car. She seemed to be tense and on edge about something. He wordlessly pointed the girl out to Mel.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:41:38 +0100

((I know! I still can't believe he broke his ribs, though (even though he's better now, but still.. it was shocking.)) Dasha sighed. Obviously she would need to teach this girl to speak up. She did not like quiet people, but she wasn't fond of excessively loud people either. "Darling, it's rather rude to respond with only a nod. I understand that you are shocked and it is quite a lot to take in, but I will not tolerate a constant silence. Understand?" she smiled kindly, taking the edge off of her words.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:48:00 +0100

((Yeah! Poor guy...)) "Yeah," said Artemis. This woman was rather... polite, she observed. It was strange. She expected to be treated badly after having been kidnapped, but apparently this wasn't the case. Yet, at least.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 03:57:21 +0100

A slight crease between the vampire's eyebrows was the only indication towards Dasha's displeasure. "Ah, well I suppose we will have to work on your manners," she sighed. "But first, I must get you ready. You are to accompany me to a dear friend's house later tonight and we must make sure you not only act accordingly, but dress your best as well." She lead Artemis back up the slight of srairs from whence she had came, pausing by Richard. "You're welcome to stay," she offered, a coy smile on her dark red lips.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:03:47 +0100

"Yeah, I don't know," Richard replied, "I've got some business to attend to."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:09:01 +0100

"Oh?" Dasha raised a delicate eyebrow. "I believe you said earlier this week that you had nothing to do, and it would just break my heart if I were to learn that you were making a point of avoiding me."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:13:33 +0100

"No, I'm not," said Richard awkwardly, "I just.. er.. I have some family business to take care of."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:22:29 +0100

Astrid headed into the building for the party. It seemed the sound of music was in the air. She tried to hide her dagger back in its sheath, noting her friends nearby. She hurried over to join them and gave them all a quick hug. Her dark eyes settled back into calmness. A young boy of about 19 nervously asked her to dance and she agreed..just this once anyway.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:26:20 +0100

"Well then I would hate to delay you, as I know that family matters can be quite troubling." Dasha sighed. "But will you not accompany Artemis and me to Aralece's townhouse this evening after you have sorted out your, ah, matters?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:29:50 +0100

"Uh, sure," said Richard, "I'd better be going now." he turned and headed for the door.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:39:46 +0100

"Don't be too long," Dasha called after him, her voice lilting sweetly. "Now," she turned to address Artemis once more. "What are your clothing prefrences? Any experience with ballroom dancing? What about proper table ettiquet?" she lead the girl into a series of chambers set aside for guests, quizzing her the entire time.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:44:43 +0100

Artemis was a bit taken aback, and tried to answer the questions as they were asked but fell a bit behind after answering the first three: "Dark colors, I guess. No. Somewhat..."

Dace followed the girl at a short distance, always keeping her in her line of sight. A horribly awkward teenage boy asked her prey to dance and was accepted...hmm, maybe she didn't have such great taste after all. Dace was slid closer -- on a sudden impulse she wrapped her arm around another dancer, who seemed surprised but certainly not disappointed, moving right up next to the Asian-faced girl she'd picked as her prey. ___ Myfanwy was right behind Caspar and Melanie as they...did their stuff. ((Sorry -- don't know exactly what to say XD ))

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 04:53:52 +0100

"I see..." Dasha nodded and lead the girl into her own chamber. "These will be your rooms," she told her, sweeping her arms out wide for a dramaric display. "Your closet is the furthest door on the right, the bathroom on your left. The larger door leads to your main sitting room which we will be using every day at high tea as I teach you what you need to know, and the matching door on the other side leads to a private study with a veranda overlooking the tables and pastures."

"No need to thank me, you are the guest." Dasha politely waved away the token of appreciation and walked into the enormous closet, full of dress of every color and texture, the styles ranging from simple everyday gowns to extravagently ornate ballgowns of the highest quality. Lining the back wall way row upon row of shoes and accessories and sitting in the center of the carpeted room stood a lone lounge chair stacked with more shoe boxes and draped with other choice dresses. "Well, what do you think? Is it alright?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:07:54 +0100

"It-it's... uh.." stuttered Artemis, "It's fancy."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:23:42 +0100

"Please, don't stutter," she chided Artemis, making a mental note to work on expanding the girl's vocabulary as well. 'Fancy' would never meet her standards. She preffered things to be 'gorgeous', or 'magnificent', or 'stunning', not a plain old 'fancy'.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

xxbvbarmygirlxx — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:25:25 +0100

"Sorry," said Artemis, glancing around and taking in the room. She wasn't exactly sure what was going on. Why was she being treated like a guest if she was kidnapped?

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 05:46:34 +0100

Astrid noted the other dancers around her. Her amulet still glowed in the darkness of the room. She noticed a girl dancing very close to her and grew nervous. Something in her told her to find a new partner...one across the room perhaps. She didn't like the odd vibe that ebbed off the girl. Luckily for her, a Italian male in an elegant suit came over and tapped the boy's arm. Astrid quickly let her arms fall to her side and then take up position around the new male. His smooth voice charmed her when he gave her hand a kiss. "It is a pleasure to have this dance." She didn't want to think that he probably used it on all the girls in the room. Yet she knew her chances of being the dance's most gossiped about girl were high as he appeared to be older than her by a good 4 years. She smiled to her friends nearby and then lowered her gaze under the boy's, a warm blush creeping into her cheeks at his stare. She stopped paying attention to the odd girl nearby..after all, she was only a girl, right?

"Mistress Alexandria?" Seth called softly, knocking on his master's door. "Please forgive me, Mistress... I do not know your orders, and forgive me if I have awaken you, and...." He trailed off as he realized he was rambling and sighed.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:01:24 +0100

‘You may enter Seth,’ Alexandria called out softly in a sweet and music voice, ‘do not worry I had no orders for you,’ she told him as she stood by the window, looking down onto the street below, watching the world go by. ‘Have you seen Simon?’ She wondered then absently of the other human boy, ‘I have not seen him today.’

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 16:14:04 +0100

'Thank you, Mistress" Seth mumbled, slowly pushing the door open. He took his usual spot behind Alexandra with his hands clasped behind his back. "No, Mistress, I haven't seen him." He kept his eyes focused on the ground, biting his lip.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 19:44:04 +0100

Alexandria sighed on hearing Seth’s words and she turned around to face him mournfully, she had been trying to break him out of habit of calling her mistress among other things, it just...didn’t sound right nowadays and Alexandria who liked to at least pretend she could appear normal felt it drew far too much attention. ‘Please don’t call me that,’ she said simply, ‘well have you anything to report or is another reason which brings you here at this time?’ Alex asked him sweetly, keeping her voice as friendly and pleasant as possible.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 20:19:26 +0100

Seth bit his lip, finally meeting Alexandria's gaze for a few seconds before returning it to the floor. "Yes, Mistr-" he blinked, catching himself "Miss. No, I just came to see if you had anything for me to do, Miss. Nothing to report other than that I haven't seen Simon."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 21:07:44 +0100

Alex considered this before deciding, ‘I’ll let him be for a few hours more I think, I doubt he’ll do any harm it’s not quite Simon’s style. Oh well, thank you Seth,’ then, ‘when was the last time I fed?’ Alexandria asked, the memories of her feedings blurring so she couldn’t remember how far back it had been, and she suddenly feel the dull ache of the beginnings of hunger.

Dace waited until her target stopped behaving as if Dace's presence worried her, and then she ditched her own partner and tapped the girl's shoulder. "Mm, hello," she said with a low voice and a brilliant smile. "I've been watching you all evening -- may I know your name?" It was all show. Dace wasn't interested in women that way, but she loved a pretty face and a warm body full of blood, and this girl had both. And Dace was really good at attracting people -- any people.

Chumsy17 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:26:00 +0100

Melanie flipped her hair, but perked up as the girls went into a party. "Hey, that girl could be a vampire, so we should probably go to the party. For the human's sake, you know, wouldn't want to see anyone else getting hurt." Really, she just wanted to go inside and have some fun; parties were kind of her thing.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:40:17 +0100

Caspar grinned. They just happened to be thinking the same thing and he could tell by the way she looked at the girl go into the party. "Yeah, for the human's sake," he winked at her and crossed the street to the party. --------------- "Put on something nice. We're leaving in twenty minutes," Will told Athena and disappeared into the shadows of his grand house. It was too big just for the two of them. He often wondered if he should bring in another human to keep Athena company. Maybe she would stop trying to run away. Or, they would both find a way to escape. He sighed irritably and put on one of his nicer suits.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:48:49 +0100

Athenadora nodded and ran toowere she stayed. She started looking for something nice to wear. She chose the nicest thing she had in her closet, a pretty, dark blue dress that went down just above her knees and was strapless. She then lef her hair down brushed through it and then put on a pair of blu earrings. She came back out and went back to search for Will although he normally found her.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Chumsy17 — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 22:51:44 +0100

"Come on, Myfanwy," Melanie smiled, waving her hand at the other girl. "We've got us a party to crash!" She walked with Caspar, thankful she always tried to look her best, even when she was out hunting. She wasn't quite sure if the little black dress and heeled leather boots she had on were appropriate, but a dress was a dress. Mel slid her gun into a pocket at her hip, and ran her fingers through her hair, atraightening her bouncy curls.

"Just under two and a half weeks, Miss" Seth mumbled, biting his lip."Do you think that Simon escaped, Miss? I don't know if he would, but it's always a possibility..." Seth always did whatever he could to take Simon down a few pegs in Alexandria's mind. HE was the one who had served Alexandria first, HE was the original. So why did she seem to like Simon so much better than him?

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:03:19 +0100

She bit her lip, considering Seth’s words, ‘it is possible certainly,’ she agreed, ‘though I do not think it likely. Still I am touched by your concern Seth and if you wish you might investigate the matter though that is by means an order, I am relatively confident that you won’t go against me at the present.’

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:14:26 +0100

"Of course I wouldn't go against you, Miss!" Seth exclaimed, looking horrified that she had even considered the thought. He frowned, turning his gaze back to the ground. By this time his body language had turned to that of a stiff butler-like figure. "I've served you faithfully for eight years... what makes you think that I would start acting rebellious now? Also, was that an order to go find Simon or a request?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 00:18:12 +0100

Alexandria rolled her eyes a little impatiently, ‘I wasn’t accusing you of anything,’ she told him a little sharply, ‘and it was neither order nor request merely an invitation to do as you saw fit in the matter, without going too far overboard of course.’

Will appeared again and gave Athena a quick once over. He nodded in approval and led them out of the house to his car. His companion's house wasn't so far away and the drive would only take a few minutes. Will didn't like to drive and was a bit reckless on the street. He kept his eyes trained on the road ahead of him. -------------- Caspar took out his gun from its holster and hid it in the front of his pants and under his shirt. He was glad he picked out a black shirt to swear for the night. He held the door open for the ladies and bobbed his head to the beat of the music. "You know that I expect a dance from each of you, right?" He had a mischievous glint in his eye.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:25:27 +0100

Athena looked out the window not intending on speaking to Will unless he spoke to her. She also kept her eyes on the passing trees and houses hoping not to look at him either.... he was to... attractiv- ugly... yes that was it.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Chumsy17 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 01:40:17 +0100

Melanie laughed as she walked in and batted playfully at him with her well-manicured hand. "Course, Caspy. Ya know, we should probably dance right now, to blend in and all, then see if we can find us that bloodsucker again. I guess we'll have to be subtle about taking her out, since there's all these people here."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Mello Keehl — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 02:42:50 +0100

"Now," Dasha clapped her hands together. "Would you like help picking something out to wear when we go to Aralece's townhouse for her party?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

the flipr kid — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:02:31 +0100

Myfanwy rolled her eyes. "Honestly, Caspar. I wouldn't have expected anything else, or I'd suggest you take off sick." She took in the party scene with a quick, casual glance and spotted the bloodsucker right away, talking to -- or maybe hitting on -- a young woman in a lovely dress. Myfanwy looked down at her own wear -- skinny jeans and a black button-down shirt with the sleeves rolled to her elbows, nothing like the fancy getup that Melanie was wearing. It'd have to do. "Let's go blend," she suggested.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:19:07 +0100

Astrid smiled happily. This was one of the best dances she had been to for awhile. The girl looked about her and was soon led over to her friends. All of whom could not believe she had been dancing with the Italian boy, who had been the envy of so many of them over the months. As the music started to wind down a man announced the voting for the dance King and Queen. Her friends wished her luck as they all hurried over to place their votes.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:36:59 +0100

Caspar followed them in the club and let his eyes rove over all the dancing people. He caught sight of the vamp with the girl in the parking lot earlier and nodded to Myfanwy. "C'mon, then. Let's dance!" He grabbed both their hands and spun them around. --------------- Will was grateful for the silence. He would need it if he was going to spend any amount of time with Aralece. He pulled the car up to the mansion. "We're here," He stated monotonously and got out of the car to open the door on Athena's side. Chivalry may be dead, but William was immortal.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 04:45:41 +0100

Athena had to smile at that she came out of the car and loked at the mansion... it looked a lot like Will's but she at least knew his better then this one.... perhaps she should make sure to follow Will so she did not get lost.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:19:22 +0100

Seth visibly winced at Alexandria's tone. "Y-yes, Mistress" he mumbled, forgetting that she hated to be called that in his panic. "Would you like me to go find Simon or do you have other orders?" His tone was stiff and flat, as was his body language.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

the flipr kid — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 17:55:07 +0100

One of Dace's favorite parts of the hunt was making her prey come to her willingly, only to discover -- much too late -- that they were about to be turned into her next meal. Sometimes, though, that just took too long. Sometimes Dace got bored. She was beginning to think that this time she would attack the girl straight out, the next time she wasn't near her gaggle of girl friends. Wait -- something was off. Dace's head swiveled slowly, scanning all the partygoers with a sudden suspicion. They weren't all innocent, vulnerable humans, she was sure. The question was, which ones were dangerous?

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:05:48 +0100

Astrid moved away from the people in her group for a moment. Her eyes searched the area. That girl seemed to be hidden from view. For some reason she found she didn't like her..in fact she loathed her. She went back to get a drink and sipped it cautiously, kids had been known to put odd things into it after all. She believed it was only last year her best friend had gotten drunk off the stuff.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 19:48:57 +0100

Alexandria sighed, there was really no point in being angry with Seth. 'Seth for the time being I honestly have no order for you so you may find him if you wish to. And actually I think I should go and hunt him down nontheless. Besides, I'm getting hungry.'

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:07:18 +0100

William guided Athena to the large doors of the mansion. He glanced at her to make sure she was still with him and pushed the doorbell. Surely they would remember he was coming. He began to feel the slight urges of thirst in his throat. He disliked feeding in front of company and wished he'd done it sooner.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Thu, 02 Feb 2012 23:09:29 +0100

Athena looked at Will and bit her lip, "Do you need blood?" she asked looking at the door and then back at him, "You could if you wanted to.... they have not come to the door yet..."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Chumsy17 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 00:55:07 +0100

Mel giggled, high and girly, as Caspar spun her. "Youre such a flirt, Caspar," she laughed. But even as she relaxed outwardly, she remained wary and ready within. Her eyes flickered around the party, landing finally on a girl who stuck out from the rest of the humans. Melanies training had taught her to see the differences easily. "Over there," she murmured, jerking her head in the vampires direction.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:36:40 +0100

William considered this. He was a bit off put by how easily she read him, but what more could you expect from a household companion? "Give me your hand." He didn't want to get blood on her dress. ------------- Caspar laughed with her and looked in the direction Mel was pointing. Just as he thought. He nodded slightly, "I can't help myself. It's a weakness of mine." He started to dance with her, slowly working across the dance floor to the vamp.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 01:42:47 +0100

Athena held her hand out to him and looked at him very seriously. Quick, drink now before you get to hungry later on. She waited for him to drink from her... it was not a god feeling but by now she was used to it.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Chumsy17 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:22:29 +0100

Melanie kept a careful eye on the vampire as she twirled across the floor. "What should we do?" she whispered, biting her lip. "There's too many people here to just shoot her. Though I guess we could, hm..."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 03:59:31 +0100

Astrid paused as a girl danced by her. For a moment she thought she heard..but it couldn't be. "There's too many people here just to shoot her." The girl stated. Astrid froze and turned to look at the girl from earlier, the one she had gotten the odd vibe off. Why did her skin look so different? Was she hiding something? She took another sip of her drink and let her eyes explore the dancers.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:39:07 +0100

William gently took Athena's hand in his. He looked her straight in the eyes and used his inhuman glamour to distract her for a little while. He maintained eye contact as he bit into the side of her wrist, avoiding any major arteries. He took only as much blood as he needed- maybe even less than that, and let her go. He pulled out a bandage from his chest pocket and gave it to Athena so she wouldn't bleed all over the place. ------------- "We could and we should, but it might cause chaos," Caspar whispered back. He looked around for any other vamps that might have been lurking around in the same venue. "We should hang back for a while and see if we can get her alone."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 04:40:55 +0100

Athena was distracted by him for awhile but even so it did not help with how much it hurt to get bit.... she took the bandage greatfully and placed it on the fang marks.. she wondered how long it would take for all her blood to drain out...

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 16:43:10 +0100

"Yes, Miss" Seth mumbled, hands clasped behind his back. He tilted his head, studying Alexandria. "Would you like to feed, Miss? It can't be healthy for you to go so long without feeding..."

‘Blood can wait,’ Alexandria said coldly, ‘come now, we shall find Simon,’ and that was all she said as she brushed path Seth out into the corridor beyond without looking to see whether he had followed or not.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Sat, 04 Feb 2012 05:49:21 +0100

The woman brushed a strand of unruly dark hair from her face. She opened the window to her room with a smile. The moonlight fell on ruby eyes. A knock at the door behind her and a moment later a black haired woman with a dark green period gown on floated to her side. "Selene, how long must we wait for you to be ready?" Selene sighed and turned away from the light. She merely nodded to the woman, who she knew to be named Catherine and pulled an elegant red gown over her corset. She turned and pulled her hair out of the way as Cat quickly fastened the dress on her. Selene fastened a ruby around her neck and quickly with the help of Cat pulled her hair into an updo. A braid caressed the upper part of her head, the rest of her hair hanging in black ringlets. She followed Cat down the stairs, her few subjects bowing to her as she passed. This was her home, as it had been for decades. She knew she was one of the eldest around, she had seen and killed so many of the dreaded hunters. For her this life had a different purpose she supposed. Near the stairs a man in a tuxedo swept her a bow. "Carlos." He smiled at Selene and took Cat's arm. Selene merely nodded absently and swept out the front door. There was little need for cars except for human transport. Tonight she hoped to find a lovely new blood doll for her people. She was after all in her own way, their queen. Cat and Carlos followed close behind her, laughing and smiling themselves. They broke into a run, far faster than any human could dare hope, and reached the doors where the party was being held. Selene gave the others a look and in an instant her own blood eyes turned a normal shade of dark brown. Cat's turned a soft green. Then they carefully swept into the room to join the events.

the flipr kid — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 17:45:30 +0100

Dace made up her mind. She didn't want to be here any more. She cast her gaze about, looking for the pretty girl she'd marked before to be her prey. It was either leave now without dinner or any fun, or get the girl and get out as fast as she could, running the risk of being caught out by the people she was sure by now were hunters. Dace liked risk. She chose the second option. Dace swished around a few mouthfuls of something alcoholic, enough to tinge her breath ever-so-slightly with the stuff. She approached the girl and her gaggle of friends, grinning cheerfully. "Hey, were you the one who danced with the cute Italian guy?" she asked. "You're lucky, hmm?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 18:55:39 +0100

"Yes, Miss" Seth mumbled, sighing as he briskly followed Alexandria. Of course she wanted to find Simon... he was the favorite. And, as usual, he was ignored. But he wouldn't complain. No, he had been trained too well at an impressionable age to even consider complaining.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 19:31:07 +0100

Alexandria smiled to herself, poor Seth, he was too eager to please for his own good and she was going to have to break that habit of his, at least Simon’s rebellious spark brought some hints of change to an otherwise tedious and repetitive life. Still, Seth was useful over all and probably the better of the two, not that she was likely to tell him that. Glancing behind her as Seth followed Alexandria stated, ‘this was your idea Seth. Where do you think we should start searching?’ She regarded the entire thing as a game.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 20:01:20 +0100

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:22:43 +0100

Astrid smiled at the girl who came up to her. The girl's odd skin complexion struck her for a minute and she knew it was the same girl from earlier. "He is cute, isn't he?" A friend of her crooned happily. Astrid rolled her eyes and playfully swatted at the girl. "I wish I knew who he is though, you know? What's your name?"

Athena applied the bandade and stared at the door waiting for someone to come. She was used to the pain of the biting now..... but somehow it managed to hurt her everytime. She tapped her foot on the ground and looke at Will, "Are you sure this is the right house?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:32:45 +0100

Will shot her a look, "Of course." He stepped aside as the other vampires simply walked through the door. He sighed. Maybe he was being too old fashioned by waiting for an invitation. "Come." He held open the door for Athena as he always did.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 21:42:57 +0100

Athenadora walked through the door and could not help but let a smile play on to her face. Will was so polite even if he was a vampire.... She shook her head, no if she went on like this there was no way she would ever want to escape. She was intending on staying close to Will at the party.... she did not want to get lost.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

the flipr kid — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 22:52:01 +0100

Dace shrugged. "Diana," she said, giving it the old French pronunciation dee-AH-nah. "And you are?" Small talk would make her prey more comfortable around her. And it didn't hurt that Dace was beautiful -- she knew she was beautiful. Humans, no matter what gender or orientation, were attracted to beautiful people on some level -- humans liked a pretty face. Dace smiled charmingly. "I could introduce you to the Italian boy," she offered. "I dated his brother...once. He dumped me." Here Dace put on a rather bereft expression to give flavor to her claim, but she smiled again soon after. "They say his brother's a nice boy, though," she said. "I almost dated him." She giggled. It was all a lie, of course. Dace was good at lies.

William approached the other vampires and gave them a polite nod of the head. "Good evening," His Scot accent dripped around his words. "I am William and this is my human companion, Athenadora." He gestured a hand between him and her. ------------ Caspar ducked his head down to whispered to Mel. "We've got a problem. The vamp's found a target.," he paused slightly and came up with an idea. "What would you like to drink?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 04:31:18 +0100

Astrid looked at the girl, watching her movements for a moment. She was entranced by the French accent, and the perfect look of the girl before her. She listened to her story for a moment and decided it was true. One of the girl's in her retinue refilled Astrid's drink and she gave her a smile. "You really could do that?" She pondered the though for a moment. No girl liked hearing she might become a leftover. "Hmm..what do you think girl's?" One of the girl's, an Asian American quickly replied. "Well, it's not like it's forever. It's only one night, right?" The others nodded ascent. Just because she was Queen Bee didn't mean she had a right to refuse her precious court. "All right then. I'm Astrid, by the way."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

the flipr kid — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:02:32 +0100

Dace grinned. "Astrid. Just lovely. I love creative names." She half-turned and looked back over her shoulder, gesturing for her prey to follow her. "Come with me. Like I said, his brother's a jerk, but the boy you danced with is really sweet. You'll like him." She smiled an open, honest smile, perfected over years of practice. "He's an angel." ___ Myfanwy frowned. "You're right. That girl she's talking to is in danger. Maybe the others, too." Actually, it was hard to tell who exactly any given vampire had decided to prey upon, since in her experience most of them were fickle, petty creatures, prone to a change of whim at any moment.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:30:41 +0100

Astrid smiled and waved a hand dismissively towards the others. "I hope so. There's so many jerks around tonight." She walked after Diana calmly. She looked towards the Italian boy and wondered just how this night was going to work out. Astrid hoped that she was lucky this time.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 05:41:39 +0100

Caspar cursed as the girl walked away with the vamp. "I'll get the vamp, you get the girl, alright?" He told Myfanwy and disappeared into the crowd. He stole a drink off of some stranger who was waving it around in the air and downed the rest of it. He would need some liquid encouragement if he were to literally dance with death. He intercepted Dace and Astrid on their way to the Italian guy. "S'cuse me," He slurred to Dace. "Would you like to dance?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

the flipr kid — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 18:22:37 +0100

Myfanwy nodded and pursed her lips. She weaved through the mass of people until she was right behind the girl and the vampire -- Caspar was already there, asking the vamp for a dance. Myfanwy suppressed a shudder. Brave of him. She pointedly ignored both him and the vampire, leaning in to the girl's ear. "Hey, I saw you dancing with my boyfriend," she said. Then she mentally kicked herself. That's the best she could think to say? Whatever. She had to get the girl away from the danger. ___ Dace turned and raised an eyebrow, her upper lip curling ever-so-slightly. She didn't like to feed off people with any substance in their blood -- it just tasted nasty. She liked it clean and pure. And she already had a target. "Hmm, no, I don't think so," she said with a measure of disdain. Out of the corner of her eye she spotted a woman talking to her prey -- something about a boyfriend? Hmm. The lady sounded a tad angry. Perhaps Dace should find a new target, just to avoid getting involved with a petty argument. Then again, maybe not. She could just wait until the human woman was finished with Dace's prey...which meant she'd need something to occupy her time. Turning back to the drunk man, she smiled charmingly and purred, "Actually, I accept."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:19:40 +0100

Astrid turned towards the woman who spoke to her. Her eyes flashed angrily for a moment and then she attempted to regain composure. "Excuse you. I don't believe you know who your talking to, do you? And if he was with you,why aren't you off dancing with him..hmm?" It made sense to her anyway. Why would the boy she liked be with well..this girl, anyway? The school's royals only dated the best..she had better defend her reputation.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 19:30:13 +0100

Caspar frowned a little when he was initially turned down. Vampire or not, rejection still had a keen sting to it. His eyebrows shot up when she changed her mind. He truly was irresistible. He grinned, took her cold hands in his and steered them away from Myfanwy and the other girl. It would take some doing, but hopefully he could get the vamp to focus on him rather instead of her.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:19:48 +0100

Chumsy17 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 01:29:24 +0100

((Shoot, sorry about that, I forgot this one's name)) Melanie grabbed a punch-she hoped it was spiked- and meandered near Caspar and tue vampire. He had guts to try and get in such close contact with her. Suddenly inspired, she 'accidentally' bumped into the vampire, spilling the red drink all over her dress. "Oh my gosh, I am oh so sorry!" Melanie gasped, playing the sweet southern girl.

"I have seen him in the area outside of the house on many occasions as well. Which do you think is more likely, Miss?"

Katherine Jane — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:24:31 +0100

‘If I had known I wouldn’t have asked you,’ Alexandria replied curtly as she walked down the stairs. Simon was sitting on a bench outside the gallery, his head in his hands. He didn’t know what to do next, the first step had been to get out of the house and find a public space, she couldn’t touch him a public space, not Alexandria who played acted at being a normal human it was a risk she would never let herself take. But as time stretched on he became more and more aware of how isolated he was becoming as people returned to their homes. He didn’t want to go back, he wouldn’t go back to her house whatever happened.

Cain remarked dryly, noticing some teen sitting outside the gallery with his head in his hands. "Me too." He sat on the bench, though as far away from the teen as possible. "Yes, Miss" Seth mumbled, obediently following Alexandria. "I think he would be outside the house. He doesn't seem to enjoy being cooped up in this place."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 18:53:21 +0100

Looking up at the other boy Simon attempted a smile, ‘what’s your excuse then?’ He asked lightly, his tone making it perfectly clear that he wasn’t demanding an answer although he would be perfectly happy with one nonetheless. ‘Very well but I resent that a little Seth you’re not poultry either of you,’ Alexandria groaned as her hand reached out to grasp the handle, ‘I always thought I was rather lax. Then again Perhaps not.’

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 20:06:31 +0100

Cain shrugged, eyes focusing on a point off in the distance. "I just don't want to go home" he replied quietly. "My parents want me to be my brother, and I can't do that so I'm always a disappointment. I can't go to college for another year, so I stay out a lot. What about you?" "You are a gentle Mistress, Miss" Seth quickly replied, bowing his head. "I was merely repeating what I had heard him say."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 22:04:59 +0100

Alexandria swore under her breath, ‘stop doing that. Don’t just tell me you think I would want to hear, I don’t know how anyone can stand it, it’s the most unproductive...it won’t get us anyway. Thank you Seth, I appreciate you have done for me you’re a good friend but...just speak up for once.’ Shrugging his shoulders Simon answered thoughtfully, ‘ah you know the usual. Everything becomes so overwhelming you start to feel like someone’s draining you dry, that sort of thing. I needed to get out.’

Sander yawned and walked into the party. He had on a suit that seemed to be thrown over a white t shirt. he still wore jeans and his chin had some stubble on it. He yawned again and his blood slave followd after him giglling. Sander did not seem to notice. Despite his appearnce he was still rather attrative and.... not fully awake. _ Athena saw what was going on around her and shrank closer to Will. She did not like hanging around other vampires... they scared her way to much. She still was watching the dancers with a little bit of previous envy still there.

Astrid stared in confusion. "What's going on?" She looked towards Diana and wasn't amused at the girl's antics. She walked to Diana's elbow and pulled on her arm gently. "What's your problem anyway?" She turned her attention to the girl and sighed as she saw her gown. "They spiked the punch, so I'm afraid your gown may be beyond repairs. We'll try and fix it anyway. There's a bathroom near the back."

William sighed at Athena as was his version of eye-rolling. Jealousy was truly unbecoming on a young lady such as herself and it wasn't hard to guess what she wanted. "Would you like to dance with me, Athenadora?" He asked trying to seem interested in what she wanted. Humans would only dance a few times in the life, so perhaps his gesture would mean something to her. --------------- Caspar fought back a laugh as Mel dumped her drink down the vamp's dress. Then the girl intervened and started to make things worse for herself. No matter what happened, she couldn't be left alone with the bloodsucker. He kept up his drunk-guy facade, "I think you and I should dance." He gestured to Astrid, "And then this one and this one go clean up." He pointed to Mel and Dace. "It's her fault, anyway."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

the flipr kid — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 18:13:16 +0100

Myfanwy pursed her lips. This girl couldn't take a hint. "Excuse me?" she said, not kindly, but the only thing she was about now was getting the girl away from the bloodsucker. "She has to explain to me why she thought it was okay to dance with my boyfriend." She caught Mel's eye and gestured frantically to the bathroom -- Get the vampire away! We'll keep the girl here! ___ Dace suddenly felt a surge of anger rip through her, hot and very violent. It took all of her self-control not to rip the stupid girl's head off her shoulders -- a bright spray of blood painted itself in her imagination, the head flying up, up, up and rolling away to stop right at the drunk man's feet. That would b a sight...but no. In a crowd, where she was certain there were vampire hunters somewhere about, it wasn't a good idea. So she narrowed her black eyes at the girl who'd dumped her punch down Dace's front, giving her a cold assurance that this would not be forgotten. Dace leapt at the chance to go "clean up" with her prey, however -- they would be alone, no one would be watching. Dace could do whatever she wanted. But the drunk man and the jealous girlfriend were making it oh so difficult -- they both wanted her prey (hers!) for their own reasons, and Dace was left with the stupid clumsy drink-spilling girl. She wanted to snarl. "I think I'll stay here," she hissed, still with her affected French accent, but much, much less friendly. She'd kill them all -- the drunk man, the jealous girlfriend, the stupid clumsy one, her pretty prey. All of them.

Alpha bit his lip, sighing as he bowed his head lower. "I am sorry, Miss." he mumbled "Please forgive me." He thought for a moment, tilting his head. "Simon should be outside the house... I remember him saying something about a... erm... gallery, was it?" "Want to talk about it?" Cain offered, smiling sympathetically at Simon. "Especially since I kind of just ranted to you about my issues, so.. I might as well return the favor... Just some advice: sometimes you just have to stick it to The Man and take charge of your own life, you know?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:17:49 +0100

Astrid sucked in breath tightly. Her eyes grew into slits for a moment. How dare these people act like this? She didn't know what to say to the girl other than the frank truth. "You want to know why he danced with me..hmm? It's because he prefers me over some second class, last rate girl. Happy?" She turned to the boy who wanted to dance with her and was rather tempted. Yet, the reply from Diana told her a lot. She began to wonder if something else was up. "Excuse me, do you all know each other?" -xo- The music in the place was slightly annoying. Selene let Catherine and Carlos wander off. She tossed her dark locks and the merrily walked towards an Italian boy with a smile. She adopted a slight lilt to her tone. "Hello." He smiled as her eyes coursed through his. She didn't really need to ask as he offered his hands to her. She was already bored when she overheard two girl's arguning and almost laughed realizing it was over this silly boy.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 19:31:23 +0100

The vamp was stubborn and the girl was starting to get suspicious. He wondered how long he could keep up the act. The best he could do was get the girl away from the vampire before it was too late. "Ladies, ladies, please. Let's try and be nice to each other, yeah?" He smiled at Astrid and moved between her and the other three. "I'm not anyone's boyfriend nor do I have a boyfriend, so why don't you dance with me?" Hopefully Mel and Myfanwy would take the hint and dispatch of the vamp.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Chumsy17 — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 23:46:43 +0100

"No, no, no," Melanie protested, shaking her head. "I gotta help you, miss, it was my fault." She took a hold of the campire's arm and walked her to the bathroom. She turned her head to Myfanwy, motioning for her to follow them. Mel was pretty sure she could handle the vampire on her own, but backup was always good.

(Seth :) Who’s Alpha?) Alexandria considered this and doubted very much that Simon if he really was running as Seth had claimed before he would hardly be truthful in the information he gave him, the most loyal of her servants. ‘Alex, Seth, remember I’m Alex in public,’ she corrected him automatically, biting down on her lower lip with the tip of her fangs. ‘What time is it Seth?’ She wondered then knowing Simon would probably prefer to stick to public places. ‘Not really,’ Simon answered, rubbing self-consciously at his neck, painfully aware of the faded scars from where Alexandria had fed from him countless times. ‘I don’t know how to explain it anyway.’

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Lady Absinthe — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:04:45 +0100

Astrid smirked. "Well, I would hope you didn't have a boyfriend." She headed out onto the dance floor and let her hips flow to the beat of the music around her. She didn't really care if the boy followed her or not but, he was interesting enough.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 04:20:04 +0100

((*headdesk* I knew I was going to make that mistake eventually... Alpha is Seth's alias in his story.... I'm not used to calling him Seth. For the record, Seth as Alpha is even more subservient than this... to the point where he physically doesn't know how to make decisions.)) "Yes, Miss.... Alex..." Seth mumbled, nodding slowly. He glanced down at the wristwatch on his right arm. "It's nearly 17:00, Alex. 5 pm if you don't like military time." Cain chuckled, shrugging. "Try" he offered, looking curious. "Seriously... it can't be that crazy... I believe almost anything. I'm the weird one who believes in werewolves and vampires and ghosts and crap."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 11:02:11 +0100

Simon jumped at that, ‘trust me it’s not all that weird, I’ve heard worse,’ he replied, clearing his throat and doing his overall best to regain some composure. ‘But why, have you seen them?’ ‘Great,’ Alexandria swore, she was used to Simon's games and she hadn't been worried at first but doubt was starting to creep it's way in, ‘fine then we’ll look around you’re gallery. I can’t imagine town will exactly be deserted. Lead the way Seth.’

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

the flipr kid — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 17:49:33 +0100

"Yeah, all right, whatever," Myfanwy snapped, glaring at the girl. "Just stay away from him if you know what's good for you." With that she turned and followed Mel and the vampire, her heart pounding. All they had to do was get the bloodsucker out of the crowd and take care of it. She sighed through her nose and crossed her arms. ___ There was no way out of it, unless she wanted to cause a scene, Dace realized; and there was no reason to cause a scene unless she wanted to kill everyone in the room. Well, she did want to kill everyone in the room. It just perhaps wasn't the smartest option. "Fine," Dace hissed to the clumsy girl who'd spilled the drink. "I'd hope you have some way to make up for ruining my dress." That, of course, wasn't what she was angry about, but they were petty humans and wouldn't realize the full portent of what their true offense was by depriving her of her prey.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:02:00 +0100

Cain laughed softly and smiled sympathetically at Simon. "Then try me" he offered, curiously egging Simon to tell him. "I've never seen anything of the sort, but I've been hearing all sorts of rumors. I maintain that I've felt my brother's ghost, but my parents just say that I haven't gotten over his death yet..." He trailed off, frowning. "Yes, Alex" Seth replied, nodding. "Follow me." He began to walk off, glancing behind him every few seconds to check that Alexandria was following him.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:09:21 +0100

‘I’m sorry to hear that,’ Simon said gently, ‘I lost my parents when I was fourteen. You believe in vampires then, what do you make of them?’ Alexandria followed Seth, somewhat amused by the way he kept checking to see if she were there, she was hardly going to abandon him in the street after all, he might take the fancy to run like Simon did.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:17:08 +0100

Cain shrugged apathetically, looking off into the distance. "It was eight years ago..." he muttered quietly. "You'd think that would be enough time. Vampires... well, they're bloodsuckers, obviously. I don't think they're like Dracula, because most of that stuff didn't make any sense. They could be fairly human other than the fact that they're bloodsucking leeches..." he trailed off, laughing. "There I go, rambling again. You probably don't care, and I'm still curious about you. You said you were an orphan? I didn't think there were any orphanages around here... you live with a foster family?" Seth continued to check that Alex was following every few seconds, relieved to see that she wasn't going to abandon him. He didn't remember life from before his servitude... Mistress Alexandria was all he had.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 18:58:06 +0100

‘Something like that,’ Simon answered smiling. ‘It doesn’t sound as though you like vampire’s much, neither do I as it happens, I wonder, what would you do if I told you I knew they existed and asked you to help me?’ He frowned then, realising the absurdity of what he had just said.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:24:50 +0100

Cain grinned, delighted to find someone who wasn't labeling him as strange for his beliefs. "Sure" he replied. "I'm not sure if I like vamps or not... I've never met one, so I can't be sure. What do you need help with?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 19:59:32 +0100

Pulling down the high collar of his shirt Simon revealed the left side of his neck which was marbled with the numerous scars of vampire bites. Looking worriedly at the other boy Simon waited for the horror or accusation of madness, no one other than Alexandria or Seth knew of the scars and he wasn’t sure what the reaction would be. 'You don't have to help me you know,' he added in a whisper, ashamed by it all.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:07:06 +0100

Cain studied the scars, hesitantly reaching out a hand to trace them. "Are you one of them?" he asked quietly. "I'll assume that's from a vampire,... have you been changed? Wait- no, that's werewolf. So, you're what... a blood slave or something?" His eyes held curiosity, but with the last statement he looked sympathetic for Simon. "And... going a bit off of that... you want me to help free you. Anything close to the truth? What do I have to do?" "We're almost there, Alex" Seth reported, yet again glancing behind him to check for Alexandria. "Not very far to go at all."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:14:41 +0100

Simon jerked back automatically at the boy’s touched he remembered Alexandria’s fingers against his skin before her fangs sank into his flesh. He felt guilty then, at least the boy hadn’t run or anything like that. ‘Just tell me where there are crowds please,’ he said, ‘she can’t touch me when there are crowds, its common sense especially for Alex because she likes to pretend. Sorry, I’m mostly trapped in the house so I don’t know where there are people.’ He said quickly, the words pouring from his mouth before he could stop them and Simon found himself horrified by the whole situation, why was he asking help from a stranger? ‘Very well,’ Alexandria answered curtly, tugging at her fingers.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:21:52 +0100

"'Alex'....is.... your vampire master?" Cain asked, tilting his head. "Okay... so assuming you are a blood slave... are you trying to get lost in a crowd or just need to be around people so this 'Alex' won't hurt you? There should be crowds around some of the houses... I think there was a party going on tonight, actually." ((You can decide when Seth and Alex actually get there. Doesn't matter when it happens to me.))

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:31:15 +0100

(Okay let’s bring them in then :)) ‘Ah yes,’ Alexandria exclaimed as they turned a corner and she was met with the sight of her blood slave, and some other boy sitting on a bench outside Seth’s gallery, ‘there’s our little run-away,’ she added, quickening her pace. Catching sight of Seth and his mistress Simon jumped to his feet and glanced around him like a small, frightened animal trying to find somewhere to run to. ‘Don’t even think about it Simon it will be exactly the same as the last time,’ Alex warned, her voice sweet and musical, easing out his fear and tensions. Shaking himself Simon clamped his hands over his ears to block out the sound of her voice.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:36:22 +0100

"Return to Mistress Alexandria" Seth growled, slipping behind Simon in case the boy tried to bolt. He really wasn't in the mood for a chase. "You have no allies, just return and we can stop this petty game." Cain blinked, surprised. "Guess I was right" he muttered under his breath. He stood and narrowed his eyes at the girl. "Leave him alone" he demanded, fixing Alexandria with a cold stare. "Can't you see that you're scaring him?"

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:41:35 +0100

‘Ah but he would not be so scared if he listened to me,’ Alexandria said smiling, reaching out to pat the boy’s cheek, she only used a little of her persuasion on him though, just some significant human he didn’t matter. She turned to Simon then, locking her eyes with his. ‘Come home with me Simon, I appreciate the distraction but I have become a little tired and not to mention Hungry.’ ‘I won’t listen to you,’ Simon snarled, ‘I won’t.’

Heart speeding up with anticipation, Mel led the vampire to the bathroom. "My daddy's got a lot of money, he can pay for you to get another dress," she said as she wet a paper towel. "Here, let me see." She squeezed out the extra water and dabbed at the stain. Now she just had to wait for Myfanwy to get there, then they could dispatch of the vamp together. ((So are we actually going to kill her, or is she going to escape, or take them as slaves...?))

Athenadora looked at Will for a long time. "Uh.... Will..... um..... are you sure?" she asked frowning. That was very sudden.... perhapos he noticed her looking at the oher dancers longingly and with a little bit of envy.... or maybe he just wanted to dance with her. She smiled at him happily.

Myfanwy stepped into the bathroom a moment afterward and closed the door softly behind her; just in time, it looked like; Mel was just cleaning up the stain on the front of the vamp's dress. Myfanwy bit her lower lip. Now or never. "That's a nasty stain," she said to alert Mel of her presence, while meanwhile her hand crept behind to the small of her back where, of course, a small stake was sheathed. Not to mention all the knives hidden about her person....It was only one vampire. It should be easy. ___ Dace glared at the girl as she tried to wipe out the stain in her dress -- it would do no good, the stain was too deep, and that knowledge just increased her seething bad mood. Then the other girl, the jealous girlfriend, entered the bathroom, and suddenly Dace was struck with a horrible notion -- she was alone, in a bathroom, with two women she didn't know but -- now that she looked at them -- seemed to know each other....She recalled, all of a sudden, the feeling she'd got earlier; that there were vampire hunters at the party. Well. "Stop that!" Dace snapped, smacking the wet paper towel, now pink with diluted punch, out of the clumsy girl's hand. "It won't work and you know it. I'm leaving." She could kill them here, now, with nobody to hear or see, or she could collect her prey and get out. She frowned. Neither option was as exciting as it should have been. The evening's fun was ruined.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Chumsy17 — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:50:29 +0100

"Not a good idea, hon," Melanie said sweetly as she drew the loaded gun from her pocket, pointing it at the vampire's chest. "Now, I can either pull this trigger and end your soulless existence, or you can tell us where you're taking all of these humans and maybe, just maybe, we'll let you continue in your imitation of life." She tilted her head, another idea coming to mind. "Though if you decide not be helpful, we can kill you real slow. Maybe a few bullets scattered throughout the body, let you bleed out, or starve you to death. It's really not a very hard decision." They probably wouldn't let the vampire live either way, but she didn't know that.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 14:59:31 +0100

"He...would not be scared.... if he listened..." Cain dumbly repeated, pupils dilating slightly. A thought occurred to him and he shook his head, resisting the persuasion. "No! Leave him alone, you have no right to do this!" He took a few steps backwards, narrowing his eyes at Alexandria. "Stupid leech..." "Listen to Mistress Alexandria" Seth growled. "She went out of her way to find you, the least you can do is have the dignity to acknowledge your defeat and return home."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 17:54:25 +0100

‘Shut up Seth,’ Simon snarled, almost relieved by his relatively unthreatening presence even as Alexandria turned her attentions to the other boy. ‘Stupid?’ She asked with amusement, ‘and yet you know what I am and so I would have thought you would have more sense than to provoke me, especially since it’s been long since I’ve fed,’ she whispered staring into his eyes as she approached the boy, compulsion thick in her throat. ‘Tell me, what do you know about vampires?’ Desperately Simon grasped hold of Alexandria’s outstretched arm, and used all his strength to push her aside, breaking her eye contact for a second or so.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:07:50 +0100

"Not much..." Cain muttered quietly, unable to break Alexandria's eye contact. "No one believes they exi-" When Simon grabbed her arm, Cain managed to pull away and shut his eyes. "I know they can use Compulsion" he spat. "Thanks for confirming it." Turning away from Alexandria, he studied the other boy with a puzzled frown on his face. "How old are you?" he choked out, blinking in surprise. "H-he just called you Seth. You're Seth." "Make me" Seth snarled, punching Simon in the back of his head. He looked to Alexandria for permission to answer the younger boy's questions.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:16:28 +0100

‘Don’t hit him too hard,’ Alexandria scolded Seth ignoring his request, catching Simon by the arm and drawing him to her even as his feet dug into the pavement, ‘he doesn’t mean any arm do you?’ She asked him sweetly staring into his eyes, ‘he’ll come with us. And for point of reference boy, compulsion works better with eye contact but it’s works well enough without and so I’d wouldn’t pick a fight with a vampire if I were you. Now turn around, go home and stop talking.’

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:24:18 +0100

As Cain felt the urge to obey, he frowned and began to heavily concentrate on whatever was in front of him. In this case, it was Seth. "Seth..." he muttered quietly "You can't be... but you are...Dio, where have you been for eight years?" Seth bit his lip, bowing his head. "Yes, Mistress" he mumbled quietly. "Forgive me." He was ignoring Cain, having not received permission to talk to him.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:33:33 +0100

‘It was an innocent enough mistake of course I’ll forgive you,’ she assured him. ‘Now,’ placing one hand firmly on Simon’s mutilated neck Alexandria whispered, ‘sleep.’ Simon fought the command, he honestly did weak and tired as he was he couldn’t stay awake and falling to the ground Simon closed his eyes and fell into a deep, bewitched sleep. ‘I told you he wouldn’t be frightened if he listened to me and it was the truth,’ Alexandria remarked, ‘it doesn’t do to wilfully frighten anyway but as for you.’ And suddenly she was right in front of the boy, her hands clenched around the material of his shirt. Catching his eyes she said firmly, ‘turn around, go home and stop talking. You can’t hold out however so just do yourself a favour and get on with it.’

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

kittygirl27 — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:38:22 +0100

"No" Cain snarled, determined to resist for as long as he could. "I want to know what you did to my brother, leech. Why does he obey you?" Despite his efforts, his pupils were slowly dilating and the urge to obey was beckoning more and more. "Thank you, Mistress" Seth mumbled, nodding slightly. He knelt and picked up Simon, assuming that Alex wanted him to carry the teen back to their house.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Katherine Jane — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:45:03 +0100

Alexandria sighed, ‘you’re really trying my patience now, and for your information I don’t hurt Seth, he is my friend and it is Simon whom shares with me his blood. Now Seth apparently you have a long lost brother so tell me...what is it that you will?’ She asked him then and for the first time since arriving at the gallery her voice was just hers, and utterly devoid of compulsion but rather a friendly curiosity but still on to the boy, her surprising strength offering him little chance of escape.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 18:52:00 +0100

Caspar waited for his teammates to disappear into the bathroom with the vamp before pursuing the girl. He put his hands on her hips as they swayed from side to side. He let himself move to the beat while discreetly scanning the area for any more vampires. It seemed pretty clear for the most part, but he wouldn't let himself relax until Myfanwy and Mel were back. ---------------------------- William didn't answer with words, he would let her think what she wanted. He gently took her hand and led her out onto the dance floor. The music was playing a soft classical waltz that was easy to follow. After many years of ballroom dance classes (forced upon him by his mother), he expertly placed one of his hands on her hip and joined the other with hers. He felt the beat and started to move with it.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Mon, 13 Feb 2012 21:55:33 +0100

Athena stared at Will with wide eyes. They seem to be filled with admiration and smething else was there too.... She quickly looked away from him again and followed him step for step. She looked down at the dance floor searching for something to look at.... anything but him. She could not help but to let her gaze slipback to him. She was looking at him completely now. But this time she was really loooking at him. Perhaps it was the first time too. She took in everything about him and smiled slightly.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Beebee2121 — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:27:45 +0100

William could feel her eyes on him as he pointedly kept his gaze elsewhere. But Athena wore him down and he ended up turning his eyes to meet hers for a moment. They seemed to shine with an unreadable emotion. William thought that he might be leading her on to something he might not have intended. But he held her gaze anyway, allowing himself to relax some and enjoy the dance.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

broadwaybound1000 — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 03:34:53 +0100

Athenadora bite her lip. She hoped the dance would end soon. But a tiny part of her perhaps it was her heart was hoping it would not end soon. That is when Athena decided she was far too weak. She would need to escape soon before she forgot that she did not want to be here.

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Dace stopped, glanced at the girl, and slowly tipped her head down to look at the gun aimed at her chest. Her face broke into a broad, sharp-toothed grin. "I see," she said. "You just don't want me to have any fun this evening, do you?" She heaved a dramatic sigh. "I don't know where the humans go. I don't take them anywhere. I prefer to drain them all at once and let them go...or kill them, depending on my mood....The idea of slaves isn't appealing to me, really. I prefer to hunt them. Blood fresh and pumping, full of adrenaline." She appeared not overly concerned about the gun poised ready to kill her, nor about the two hunters who undoubtedly would do everything in their power to keep her from leaving the bathroom. "I honestly have no idea where they go." Myfanwy's eyes narrowed. "She's lying."

Re: The Taken (actual RP start)

Chumsy17 — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 22:20:14 +0100

Melanie snorted derisively. "Right. I totally believe you. But seriously-" she moved her gun closer to the vamp "-where are they? You might not have any of them, but I can't believe that you don't know any other vampires. Some of them must have humans. We just want to get the humans out, that's all; we won't hurt you unless you make us." That was a lie. They did want to get the humans out, but they wanted to take down as many bloodsuckers as they could in the process. "We've got the place surrounded, there's a whole team outside. There's no way you'll be able to escape."

(Bump for kittygirl) 'Well Seth?' Alexandria asked with raised eyebrows, 'what is your will?'

"I- I don't know, Mistress Alexandria" Seth muttered, biting his lip. "I have no idea who he is, so it would only be logical to stay in your service." Cain glowered at Alexandria. "What did you do to him?" he snarled, crossing his arms.

Dace sighed and rolled her eyes dramatically, as if to say she really didn't have time to deal with thick-headed humans with guns. "Now who's the liar?" she asked. "A whole team? Spare me. There's you two, and I'll allow for perhaps one or two more, but that's it." She leaned forward, her black eyes half-lidded, a slow smile curling her lips. "Am I right, or wrong?" Myfanwy was fast losing patience. "Answer the question, bloodsucker."

"Wrong, of course," Mel smirked. "Do you really think there'd be just two of us here? This town so obviously has a vampire epidemic, one we want to wipe out. We're not dumb; we came with backup. I normally like to talk, but this is boring. Come on, tell us where you're keeping the humans or I'll shoot you dead. Er." Hm, if you shot someone who was undead, would they be dead? She shook her head slightly; no time for thoughts like that. She had to focus.

The song kept playing, so William continued to spin around the dance floor with her. He noticed she had the expression she wore whenever she was planning to run away again. He held her out at arms reach for a moment to twirl her in a circle to distract her. It would be difficult to find another companion like her. William blinked owlishly. What kind of thought was that?

Athenadora did forget the thought as he twirled her around. A smile found its way back to her again and she actually laughed. She was enjoying herself even though she would hate to admit it. She actually doubted she would have wanted to dance with anyone else other then Will. He was nice to her... or at least nicer to her then other vampires were to their blood slaves.

‘What knowingly?’ Alexandria turned back to the boy, ‘nothing and I don’t know anything about you either’ she said honestly. ‘The rest I’m trying to figure out so I suggest you stop distracting me. Seth would you be so kind as to go to that store which is conveniently open 24 hours, around the corner and buy a small bottle of water.’ Alexandria asked, not caring how odd the request sounded. Keeping one hand on the boy which with her strength was more than enough she dug her hand into her pocket and threw some coins into Seth’s hand. ‘Think about what you want to do about this whilst you’re there.’
