Dust into Dawn (Open and Accepting Literate RPers)

[Cuwen]

The coven leader arched her eyebrow in interest and slowly released Loren's hair. She nodded at him to stand and then crossed her arms.

"Show me. Take me to the city and show me." Vampires could travel at the speed of sound. Not as fast as light, but still pretty damn fast.

[Kagtiour]

Loren grinned and stood. This would be a cakewalk. "Sure thing. It won't even take me 10 minutes to find someone suitable for you."

He vanished. Well, actually he turned and ran for the city. Since vampires move so fast, it can look like they disappear and reappear out of nowhere. So it didn't take him that long until he found himself back among the streets of Vienna. He was certain that she wouldn't be far behind.

[Cuwen]

Aurelia followed Loren easily, but with some excitement. Even if his powers failed to impress her, so far this had been entertaining. She wasn't bored right now, and that was saying something.

She stopped easily right beside Loren in one of the alleyways. They had to be careful not to be run over by a fast-moving bicycle. Obviously it wouldn't do anything to them, but they would have to explain why it didn't do anything to them. Well, they actually probably would just kill the person on the bike, but that would require energy and intelligence to cover that up and Aurelia wasn't into that right now. She wanted to see what Loren had in store.

So, she leaned her hip against one of the alleyway walls, crossed her arms, and nodded her head. "Alright. I'm watching. Don't make me regret coming here."

[Kagtiour]

Loren smirked at Aurelia and then scanned the streets, looking for a suitable target. "Her."

He barely pointed at a random woman walking across the street before he was suddenly at her side. He easily got her attention, and soon struck up a conversation with her. All the while, his eyes glowed gently, almost unnoticeable. Soon, he led her back over to Aurelia, and introduced each other. "This is Aurelia, my lover. And this is Jane. Jane is willing to be our partner for tonight. She's even willing to do it right here in the alley with us."

If you paid attention to the woman, you'd notice that she was breathing rather hard. Her face was red as if she was burning up, and she kept fidgeting around. All the while, Loren just kept staring at her, and it seemed to just make her worse off.

[Cuwen]

Aurelia was already impressed with the fact that Loren had already easily secured a female and had quickly brought her over to Aurelia. She looked as if she would do anything Loren asked of her.

Aurelia looked into Loren's eyes and noticed a softness in them and that they were glowing. This was impressive. Most men did not have this level of power, if any power at all. He had the power of seduction. This would come in very handy. But did he know how to use it completely? Would he be able to follow through with the act? She would not help him much. She would play along, but she would not help. This was about him proving himself, by himself. Aurelia wouldn't be there with him often to help.

She nodded curtly at Jane and merely arched an eyebrow in greeting, but she didn't say anything. She observed.

[Kagtiour]

Loren brought Jane into the alleyway, where she practically pounced on him the moment they were completely encompassed in the shadows. He gladly accepted the woman's advances, until he remembered that he had an audience. It wouldn't do for Aurelia to just watch, so he motioned her over, giving her a clear shot at the woman's neck. She could go for it at anytime she wanted, otherwise he'd take first bite.

[Cuwen]

Aurelia's eyes flashed red as she saw the wonderful bare skin of Jane's neck. She also had to admit that Loren himself wasn't a bad sight, either, but she wouldn't focus on that now... couldn't focus on it. Just on the easily-accessible neck in front of her.

Aurelia seemed to hiss lowly in pleasure, and in that hiss, she bared her perfect, white fangs. She seemed to blur over to Jane rather than simply walking, as if the blood was calling to her and she no longer had control over her body, and she reached out to run her tongue along the side of Jane's neck. Jane shook even more at this and seemed to grip Loren even tighter and shove her neck even more toward Aurelia.

Aurelia chuckled lowly and finally sunk her fangs into the wonderful flesh of this human, into her veins. She moaned as the warm, delicious blood flowed freely into her dry mouth. The completely odd thing, though, was that Jane didn't even seem to notice! Most humans... ALL humans... fought at this point, but not Jane. Did Loren's power of seduction go so deep into the girl that she didn't even feel her life draining from her? Hmmm. That was interesting. It provided a nice, quiet kill, but Aurelia did enjoy the struggle at times. But variety was good, and so was having this option available to her if she needed a quick and clean kill.

When she was halfway done with Jane, she decided to be extremely generous and let Loren finish off his prize. He did deserve it, and her coven would be bringing her more blood soon, anyway.

She pulled her fangs out of Jane's neck and shoved her closer to Loren for him to finish her off.

[Kagtiour]

Loren hardly paid attention to Aurelia. The smell of blood drove his senses wild, and Jane was practically all over him, even with her life's blood seeping out of her. It was something his eyes did. His victims would stay full of energy until there wasn't a speck of blood left within them for their heart to pump. So he took his time enjoying this woman's body, before sinking his fangs in her neck and finishing her off.

After he drained the last drop of blood, he licked his lips and sling the now lifeless body over his shoulders. There couldn't be any traces of what happened, so they would need to dispose of the body. Which would most likely come down to him disposing of it, actually. "So, how did I do?"

[Cuwen]

Aurelia smirked and walked more closely to Loren. She reached up and wiped the blood away from the corner of his mouth with her thin, pale index finger. She then brought that finger to her own mouth and drank that drop just as she had the rest of them. She savored it. Her fangs were retracted now, though.

When she was done, she dropped her hand and nodded at Loren. "You did very, very well. I would be pleased to have you in our coven, Loren Laureate. And be honored by this. I do not allow new members into the coven often at all. I am quite impressed with your power of seduction. It is not often that male vampires have such strong powers as yours."

She nodded to the body over his shoulder. "Come. We will dispose of the body in our large furnace in the basement at the vineyard."

[Kagtiour]

Loren nodded, grateful that he was accepted. "Thank you for letting me into your coven. Now lead the way, mistress. Before any unwanted visitors come along."

xxxxxNeferet twirled and spun around the glossy mirrored room, leaping gracefully and jumping just a bit to high to be natural. She smiled to herself as she came to a perfect stop on point, one leg tucked just under the hem of her skirt. Another perfect routine... she thought to herself. Allowing her foot to assume its normal position as she sashayed lightly across the room. She had been a ballerina for years and years now, so many that she had lost count. She sighed, but of course, there were a lot of things that she had done in her 750 years of living. Humming to herself, she slipped into a cream colored silk robe, and quietly exited her studio. Aurelia had kindly had the room renovated a couple hundred years ago for her, and for that Neferet was grateful.

xxxxxThinking of Aurelia, she gave the air a dainty sniff. She could smell her, all right, but the scent was a tad stale. No older than an hour... but there was also another scent with the same time stamp upon it. It was an unknown male, not one of theirs, or if he was, Neferet had never met him. Most of the coven had been hunting tonight, but only Neferet and Aurelia had remained. Aurelia for reasons unknown (Most likely because the others would bring the blood to her), and Neferet because she simply wasn't thirsty. She murmured to herself as the door to her room swung open, revealing a cozy yet modern suite. She quickly disrobed and slung her dance gear onto her bed and pulled on a form-fitting grey sweater and a pair of black velvet sweats.

xxxxxShe retraced her steps to the main hall where Aurelia's scent was freshest. Neferet's bare feet made no noise as she glided over the marble floors. Aurelia would have to come back sometime, so, settling by the door, she leaned against a pillar. With her head tilted back and her pretty grey eyes closed, she almost looked to be sleeping. Almost.

Sylvie wandered absently through the alleyways of Vienna, humming to herself, her book of pressed flowers in a satchel over her shoulder. Her silvery-purple hair framed her hair in a pixie-like style, and her face was serene as her cloudy eyes searched for a new flower, for they sometimes grew up through the concrete, defying the dark alleys. She passed by Aurelia, giving only a slight pause in her humming as acknowledgment before she went about her trek again, though she tended to circulate more around the other woman now that she'd come across the coven leader.

[Cuwen]

Aurelia's eyebrows raised in slight surprise when she saw Sylvie pass by her in the alleyway... and then again.... and then again. In all these centuries, Sylvie was the one individual who could still surprise her after all these centuries. She showed up at the oddest places at the oddest times. She obviously wasn't hunting, but what was she doing.

She crossed her arms and nodded in Sylvie's direction. "Sylvie? What are you doing out here?"

[Mitsuki10191]

For a moment, Sylvie seemed almost not to hear her. But then she gave a little, almost inaudible gasp, and bent down, her movements graceful and slow as she carefully picked a purple wildflower that had been growing up against the side of a building.

Turning to Aurelia, she gave one of her rare 'let's make eye contact' smiles, holding out the flower. "They're all so very pretty, Aurelia." She said in a quiet, lilting voice, and hesitantly held out the book of flowers to her leader, pleased with her find. Only when she'd found a new flower was Sylvie ever anything even close to sociable.
