Vampire-Tavern

[Shadowheart]

Laisrean nods, and picks Skye up. He runs to the edge of the tower, and turns and looks to Duo. He didn't expect her to fight as well as she did, but knew that the other Vampire was easily more skilled. Staring down into Skye's faded eyes, Laisrean leaped from the towertop onto the ground below, quickly continuing his dash into the forest. He kept reaching out with his mind, trying to grasp even a minor glimpse of Skye in the impenetrable darkness surrounding her almost fully. He felt hopeless, but for Skye's sake continued on through the forest. In his arms her body was cold, and even with normal vision the black aura surrounding her was growing more and more visible. Skye! Please...please come back.

Laisrean was back at the Tavern, the sight of it gave him a little more hope in a near hopeless time. He leaped to the top of the Tavern, and lied her down on the roof. He stood, staring down at her for what seemed to be forever. The moon covered in thick, dark clouds served only as a cold reminder of Skye. Silently he waited, standing by her and staring into her faded eyes, and pale face.

The blood still trickled lightly from the scar in her neck, which Laisrean turned from quickly... The craving was coming to him, now, of all times. Trying to move his mind from the guilt and the near-craving... Laisrean searched her mind. Laisrean was then enveloped in darkness.

Laisrean sees Skye, staring into the eyes of the Vampire. He was staring down at her tauntingly, and even in the mental state she was unable to move her body. "Skye!" He called out, and she regained her mental consciousness, her bright aura glowing dimly again. She didn't speak, merely stared into the creature's dark aura... into a dim prism. Deep within the murky black of the Vampire's aura, a bright prism shone through, many different colors inside, swirling.

Laisrean quickly saw himself float back into his body, lightheadedly he thought on the prism. Why, a prism, in the creature's aura? It costed precious minutes before he caught it. The Vampire had a single weakness, and that was not light, but a reflection of light. Concentrated light.

He began to call out to Duo, when he realized... No Vampire could withstand the light of day... No Vampire could reflect the light - - But a Mortal could.

Laisrean called out to Duo, and told her everything he saw, and what could destroy this Vampire. Skye would have to do it, but how could Laisrean free her before sunrise?

Duo smiled grimly, as she leaned painfully against one of the crumbling walls of the castle, clutching a bloodied arm. Try talking to her, anything that you think will work she thought to Laisrean. We're starting to run out of time... I don't know how much longer I can last, and I don't know where the others are. Once the vampyre defeats me, he'll come after you next. Her thoughts were cut off as she was once again drawn into a losing battle against the creature. She glared at the creature and screamed angrily "Why won't you DIE!"

Elsewhere...

Skye sat up, sensing something strange happening in her dark prison. The vampyre walked out from the darkness towards her, smiling insanely. She drew back with fear. "What do you want with me?" she asked timidly. The creature reached forward, touching her cheek. Skye flinched, then realised she could see. But that was all she could do with her body, she realised with horror. Skye could only watch helplessly as the vampyre controlled her like a puppet. She felt her hand touch her neck, and she saw she had blood on her hand. Her mouth curved into a smile, and her head looked up towards Laisrean. 'NO!' thought to herself, realising what the vampyre planned to do. It chuckled evilly in her head.

Laisrean noticed Skye started to stir, as if recovering from being so far away from the vampyre's clutches. Perhaps its spell could not reach this far. If he looked at her eyes, they still looked dilated and far-off, but seemed to have regained some recognition of their surroundings. Standing up unsteadily, she walked to him and put her blood stained hand on his shoulder. "Thank you for bringing me away," she said. "I wouldn't be as I am right now if you hadn't. But he will come for me... you must know this." She looked at him with an unreadable expression on her face. "There is a way to stop him..." she said slowly, then bent forward, so the scar on her neck was next to Laisrean's mouth. "The creature won't want to kill me if someone else has already bitten me," she said, stating her obvious intent. The smell of the blood on her neck wafted to Laisrean's nose enticingly.

ooc- *coughs* no comment..

IC: Laisrean breathed in deeply, and turned away. "Skye..." He said with a frightened expression. "I can't do this." He looks back down and meets her eyes. Her face shined with magnificence under the now present moon, and the blood flowing from her was almost impossible for the craving Assamite to turn away from. "No more life Skye, no longer could I look upon the warmth that graces your face..." A tear rolled from his eye, and trailed down his cheek. It hadn't happened in so long that he had forgotten the feeling. Laisrean cursed under his breath at the constant craving... "Do you really want this, Skye?" He looked down to the trail of blood once more, and leaned towards her. She could feel his breath on her neck... and his craving was now obvious. He had began trembling, breathing quickly, the cold air showing a rapid mist coming from his mouth. He silently waited...

[Skydracgrrl]

Skye trembled mentally, as the vampyre howled with triumph in her mind. Out of desperation, she regained control of her body for a few seconds, and threw herself away from Laisrean. The creature quickly took control again, and shook herself. "Sorry, the monster must be trying to reach me," she explained to a confused Laisrean, and touched her head as if in pain. Smearing some of her blood on Laisrean's lips she leaned closer towards him. "Of course I'm sure. The vampyre won't want me anymore, and you'll satisfy your craving. It's a win-win situation, isn't it?" she smiled.

[Shadowheart]

Laisrean waited a moment before making his final decision. For the first time in ages passed, he would bring another unto the Assamite clan... as unfortunate a thing as it was to walk the dark path of eternity it had to be done. Only through her mortal death could she be 'alive' in a sense, rather than become prey, and to lie still beneath the rotting Earth. He pressed his lips to the wound, fangs quickly sinking into her throat he felt her tremble, and he felt truly... different. This was the first time he had brought someone in, to eternity. The first time someone was willing to lose their humanity to him, and to bear the lonely road all-willingly. He stopped, her pulse was slowing quickly under his lips. He closed his eyes and turned his head away as he cut into his arm, the blood flowed freely from it onto the cold rooftop. He led it to her mouth. "Now you must drink from me, the final step, as well as the first."

Shadow walked through the forest, hopelessy lost. "Hello, anyone?"

ooc: Welcome to the thread, Tancred ^_^

Vampyress, considering this little RPG we've got going has been really fun , do you think that maybe you'll let me(or you yourself) will continue a 'Chapter II' to this thread? You see a lot of continued threads here on IW, and I think it'd be best to do the same. What do you all think?

[vampyress-of-shadows]

she sat silenly at the table after shadows yelling. she did nothing but smile n inform him that at a time like this there is no need to be restless it will only lead to problems.

ooc-by the way there is people here and no blood. i don't understand what you are talking about newcomers.

ic-she awaits the return of the members ofher tavern with skye and opens a small door that is only visable from where she sits. the room is lined with steel and withher own powers surrounded the room with a force field tha prevents people and thoughts fom escaping. using her telepathy se informed duo of this:

when you rescue her bring her here and put her in this cell. she is not to come out untill the creature is vanquished. otherise he will continue to go after her. if you want her safe bring her here.

after her message she cut off all contacts with others and sat siletly drinking and smoking.

[Skydracgrrl]

ooc- I don't think you'll have to worry about continueing a new thread anytime soon, Shadowheart. [img]smile.gif[/img] only til we reach 300 posts..

ic- Duo looked up suspiciously when the creature started cackling. It was the first sound she had ever heard it emit, at least resembling a human sound. A darkness seemed to break away from it and disipate into the night. Before her eyes, the vampyre crumpled up on its self, collapsing on the floor. Resembling a younger male vampyre, it quickly disintegrated into dust. Toeing it with her boot, Duo thought 'Pitiful thing... must have had its mind shattered by whatever it was that had taken it over. Must have recently become a vampyre to have that happen...'

Duo looked up abruptly, suddenly sensing what Laisrean and Skye were doing. No, you fool! she screamed mentally at him. Can't you see that's exactly what the creature wants?! She sped hurriedly off in their direction, knowing with a sinking heart she was already too late.

Skye had been reaching for Laisrean's arm weakly when Duo's mental message rang through their heads. Grabbing his arm, she fastened her new fangs into his wrist, refusing to let go. What delicious power... thank you for giving it to me so willingly,' a voice chuckled vendictively in Laisrean's head, Skye's fangs still sunken into his wrist.

ooc- uhoh, looks like Laisrean might be in a spot of trouble..

"No!" He tugged his arm away quickly. Already Skye had began draining him, growing stronger by the minute. Rather than pulling loose, her fangs tore deeply into skin. He roared frustratedly in pain, fighting the urge to strike Skye...

...Laisrean left his weapons at the tower. Skye's aura was pulsing dangerously while his was fading significantly. He had to strike her, he had to. Angrily he raised his fist into the air and brought it down on her, and as quickly as she was pushed away, she was on his wrist once more. He called out to Duo. "She's taking me in, growing...stronger." Laisrean was lost, unsure of what to do. "How could I be so blind?" And ironically, his eyesight began to fade. He fell back onto the roof, and in a final burst of frustration he punched through the roof of the Tavern. A warm wind washed over them both, fog was rising. His sight was in slow motion, but to the Eastern sky, the sun was beginning to rise.

"I'll take you to the abyss with me!" He rolled her over with his good arm and held her at the throat, with all the strength he had left. "Duo..."

ooc: again, unexpected [img]redface.gif[/img]
