Akira Mori

Akira looked at Loki for a bit and than turned his attention back to Dmitri as he pick up his cat. He heard the other say something about a chilly even as he than felt a breeze causing him to shiver a bit. The purple haired teen than noticed someone else arriving noticed another male and this one seem a little bit older than them but not by much. The first thing he noticed about this one is his wings which freaked him out but was also a bit amazed by them and wondered if they were real or if the rumors were true about this family and that they are vampires.

Akira soon snapped out of his thoughts as he heard what Vincent was saying about the risk they were taking. He than watched as the winged vampire started to circle the both of them. The purple haired teen put an in front of Loki trying his best to protect the teen if anything happens. He than heard the new comer ask Demitri on his thoughts about them. Akira than looked over at the other vampire and noticed his fangs which started to make him think that they are a bit over their heads on this one. He than heard him say that they should give them a chance and that if it doesn't work out they would have them for dinner. This defiantly made fear rise in Akira's heart as it started to pound faster. At first he wanted to grab Loki and run but he knew it would pointless if they run they would be caught by them with ease. "Loki what do you think?"He asked as he looked at the small teen wanting his opinion on the situation.

[Wild_Rain_Falls]

Loki was still hiding behind Akira as the older male seemed to be staring at them, making him fidget in place nervously. He was not comfortable being here and wished he was anywhere else but here. Why had they been one of the ones dared to be here? He didn't understand this and also didn't want to since he wouldn't even wish this fate be passed onto someone else. Soon he heard more footsteps come in their direction as he saw another older male as he seemed to circle them, making him whimper in fright as he hid more behind Akira, who seemed to also be trying to hide him from sight, which somewhat made him relax that the other was looking out for him. He heard the other vampire that was circling them speak as he seemed to ask the other vampire of his opinion since he stated that they might not qualify to serve them. He shivered as a breeze passed by, feeling the cold through his jacket and the outfit he was forced to wear. He heard the silver haired male speak of the evening being chilly and nodded slightly that it was and trembled when he offered that they could wait inside.

Loki had a feeling that if they did, they wouldn't be leaving sometime soon. Then he trembled more violently when seeing the fangs of the vampire as he spoke of them giving them a chance and if they didn't work out, they would have dinner. He was absolutely terrified now as he stood on shaky legs, tears at the edge of his eyes. He didn't want to be anyone's dinner or in this case a blood source. His grandfather was sure to be very worried if he were to never come back home. His heart pounded hard in his chest and could even feel it in his throat. He was startled when he heard Akira speak and ask what he thought. He bit his lip as he tried to hold in his scream of 'NO! Let's just go home!' but knew that it would not be that easy. No vampire was sure to pass up some kind of blood source. Gulping, he spoke in a weak voice laced with fear,"A-A-Ano t-t-the others a-a-are going to h-h-have to go i-i-in as well. S-S-So I g-g-guess we c-c-could wait inside." He clutched tightly to his own coat as he tried to not cry as he wiped his tears before they could fall.

He knew that they had pretty much sold their freedom and life if they were to set foot in the castle with these vampires. If they were to die, he hoped to kami that it wouldn't be a painful death. Though he was terrified of dying from bloodlost, he was more terrified that he would be bitten. It was a form of touch. Loki was scared to death of being touched in any way, even if it were kind or a comforting one. Being bitten was sure to bring out his deep fear of being touched by another.

[Witchling Minerva]

Something felt off to Tray. It was as if the earth was telling him something. Annoyed with the feeling he set his watering can down next to the plant he had been watering. He then walked over to the window in his room and looked out towards the gate. Seeing Dmitri and Vincent didn't surprise him, but the sight of the other two figures did. "Who?" Curiosity got the better of him, so he opened his window and climbed out onto the cold ground. Having a room that's partly underground makes it easier to get to the ground faster than jumping out of a higher window. Of course with Tray's fear of falling there was no way he was going to even go near a window above the first floor.

The green haired man walked straight up to the others. "What's going on here?" He asked as he looked at the strangers. Now he could tell that the two strangers were humans. That confused him. Why would humans come here? Would more come? He head filled with questions as he waited for someone to answer the one he asked out loud.

[Dis Gun Be Gud]

Dmitri watched as Vincent circled the two teenagers, scratching Smoke behind the ears. He could hear the two humans' heartbeats speeding up and he could practically smell the adrenaline being dumped into their bloodstreams by the bucketful. Poor scared little things, he thought as he watched Vincent circling the pair like a snake winding slowly around a pair of trapped, terrified little mice. Some little part of Dmitri, the part that was still mostly human, couldn't help but feel just the slightest bit bad for scaring them so. He could see tears gathering in the smaller male's eyes and let out a soft sigh as he said, "I was joking." He wasn't the kind to kill just because he could. Besides, once a human was dead it could give no more blood. Keeping the boys alive would be so much more beneficial to them, especially if what the smaller boy had said about them waiting for others to arrive was true. The more humans, the more blood, the longer they could comfortably live.

The smaller boy's words were nearly impossible to understand, given how hard he was stuttering, but Dmitri hadn't spent his nearly two hundred years studying languages just for nothing. "Well then, shall we?" he said as he motioned towards the castle with one arm. He wasn't quite sure what they were getting themselves into by allowing these terrified, shaky little creatures in thier home. Would someone notice and come looking for them? Dmitri frowned jsut a touch - that could be trouble. It was a reckless move like this one that had ended with him chained and locked in a crypt for fifty years...Dmitri turned and looked back at the pair of teenagers, considering for a moment or two before shrugging it off. They were practically children, these two, and children went missing every day. If worse came to worst, then he and Vincent would just have to be sure to hide the bodies and make sure that they boys could never be traced back to them. "If you're going to be our guests....pardon me, servant, I suppose we should know your names," he said as he walked, "My name is Dmitri."

Dmitri paused when another of the vampires joined them and asked what was happening. "Apparently, we have guests," he explained to the green-haired vampire, "Seems these two got themselves tangled up in quiet an interesting dare." He didn't explain how he knew about the dare. If the humans lingered around the castle long enough, they would learn of his powers. He wasn't exactly sneaky with them, often using his telekinesis to make things come to him when he just didn't feel like getting up to go get them. Smoke, meanwhile, leapt from his arms and trotted back towards the pair of mortals. She rubbed up against first the purple-haired boy's legs, then the brunette's before darting off into the darkness to do....cat things. Dmitri didn't keep his pets on a very tight leash, and they were free to come and go as they pleased. Sometimes days would pass between sightings. However, they always seemed to come when called, a very un-cat-like trait.

Akira Mori

Akira looked at Loki as he told them what they should do and he nodded in agreement. "I guess we don't have much of a choice."He muttered as he looked at the two vampires. The purple haired teen than noticed a third vampire come up to them and asked what is going on. He stood by silently as the white haired vampire told them why they are here. He was surprised that the vampire knew the exact reason why they were and he stared at him. "How did you know it was dare?"Akira asked as he waited for a response.

As the purple haired teen stood there looking at the group he felt something rub up against him and looked down to see the cat that Dmitri was holding earlier. "Ehhh kawaii desune."He said as watched the cat move to Loki and than left them. He than heard the white haired vampire introduce himself and he nodded. "Its nice to meet you Dmitri-sama, my name is Akira."Akira said as he bowed to the vampire. They were suppose to be servants after all so he had to show respect. He than felt a breeze go by making him shiver a bit. "Umm can we head inside? This coat isn't really keeping me warm enough and my outfit underneath it isn't really meant for this kind of weather."He said as he looked at the three.

[Wild_Rain_Falls]

Loki slightly heard Akira mutter when he nodded in agreement with what he stuttered out. He still was nervous as he started to follow, still hiding behind Akira. Then stopped when soon another male came out from the castle as the male seemed to have light greenish hair, seeming confused of why him and Akira were with Dmitri and the other vampire. Then he was confused of how the silver haired vampire seemed to know why they were there in the first place, stating they were here on a dare. He felt something soft and furry against his legs as he saw it was the cat that the vampire had been holding it a few moments ago. He smiled softly at the cat before it left. The cat had calmed him a bit as he always loved cats or any other animal especially rabbits. He hid more behind Akira even as Dmitri seemed to introduce himself and Akira did so as well. He bowed as well, albeit trembling a little while doing so,"N-Nice to meet you as well D-Dmitri-sama. A-A-Ano my name's Loki."

Sure this was a dare that they had to be respectful to the vampires as they were technically their masters for a week of the dare, but he was polite to anyone even if they were bullies, if he didn't know that. He felt the breeze pass by as he clutched his coat closed more for warmth rather than covering his ridiculous maid's outfit. He shivered a bit as he silently agreed with Akira that they should get inside since it was getting more cold in the evening and dresses with cold weather did not mix well. He looked up at the huge castle as he stared at the structure as it gave off a ominous vice to him as he hid even more if possible, behind Akira. It was easy since he was four inches shorter than the other and was very tiny compared to the vampires.

[Witchling Minerva]

Tray listened to Dmitri's answer and knitted his eyebrows. A dare seemed like a stupid reason to come to this castle. He looked over the humans, again. To his annoyance the purple haired one was taller than him. It was annoying enough when pretty much all of the other vampires were taller than him. "Fine..." He turned around and began to walk back to the castle, but paused long enough to tell them one thing. "Just stay out of my room." The green haired vampire walked back to the castle and slid back into his room through the open window. Once inside he shut the window and went back to his plants.

Tray hoped the humans would listen to his warning. He didn't want them to mess with his plants. He had been taking care of most of these plants for many years. The vampire would rather spend time with his plants than other living beings. This did cause other vampires to tease him, but then he would threaten to punch them and they would shut up. With his unusual strength he had a tendency to break things by accident. It took a lot of self control not to take a door off the hinges when opening it, but for some reason it was very easy for him to control his strength when taking care of his plants.

[Dis Gun Be Gud]

When asked by the purple-haired young man how he had known it was a dare, Dmitri responded, "I have my ways. Just as I have my way of knowing jsut what you two are wearing under your coats." That was a little detail that he had kept to himself, rather than sharing with Vincent and Trey. The boys' outfits would be revealed soon anyway, once they had entered the castle. After all, they couldn't go around wearing their coats for the entire week. He listened as the boys introduced themselves - Akira and Loki, apparently - and then both shivered as another breeze blew by and the temperature seemed to drop a bit more. Dmitri wasn't particularly affected by cold; his human life had been spent in some of the coldest, most unforgiving climate know to man. Heat, however, was another matter entirely. When the weather turned hot and muggy it turned Dmitri's mood sour. That was neither here nor there, however, and Dmitri returned his attention to the pair, now shaking more from cold than from fear.

He watched as Trey took off, apparently returning to his room and his plants, and said to the two, "He's serious. Unless you have a death wish, give him his privacy.....as a matter of fact, it would be best to do that with all of us." At least until they learned the habits of the strange little family, that was. Dmitri lead the way up the path towards the castle, the large front door opening wide with just a light nudge from the vampire's mind. "Welcome to your new home," he said to the two boys as he stepped over the threshold to stand in the enourmous receiving hall. He turned to face the pair, arms crossed loosely over his chest as he regarded the humans with a calm expression. Another cat, this one a ginger-and-white spotted male that Dmitri called Aubri, appeared from somewhere in the castle. The tomcat eyed the two boys suspiciously with the one eye he had - he had been an alley cat and had lost his right eye and most of his left ear in a fight. He was highly distrustful of strangers and hissed at the humans.

✚✚✚ Collin Hughes ✚✚✚

Collin was a bit late. He ran up to the huge castle and shivered. It looked like one of those castles from a horror movie. The blue haired boy shivered then took a deep breath and promptly walked up the steps. The door was already open so he let himself in. Collin had a small coat around his maid uniform and a bag on his shoulder. He looked around then entered, shutting the huge doors. Within the castle, it was quiet and creepy. He heard voices in the lounge area but showed no interest in the people talking. It was Loki and another boy. So they had been dared as well? In these stupid maid costumes? Ah well..at least Collin looked cute in it. He was usually a talker but he was frightened to all hell. The young boy walked up the very long hallway, making his way to the rooms so he could put his stuff down. Collin gulped then heard some noise in one of the rooms. He took another deep breath then walked up to it and slowly cracked it open. He looked around with his light green eyes and saw many plants and flowers. He gasped in awe and even dropped his bag. He's never seen so many plants in his life! Collin touched then huge leaf and giggled lightly. It moved a little and he chased it around like a child. "I've never seen so many amazing plants." he said softly then sat on the floor and just looked at them, not taking notice of another presence nor the fact that wasn't suppose to be in there.

When Collin saw the shadow over him, he turned and looked at a man with green hair. Instead of being afraid, he smiled and giggled. ["Ne mister..you're really short.." he stood up and measured their height but Collin was still shorter. His coat slipped off to reveal his maid uniform. But Collin didn't mind. He smield at the man again then bowed to show respect. "Do you take care of these plants? They're so pretty!" Collin said then touched another leaf with joy. He looked back at the man then smiled once again. "I'm Collin, what's your name, mister?"

Glancing at his cellphone for what seemed like the millionth time Samuel bolted down the sidewalk as fast as his legs would carry him. He was late, he should have met up with the others a while ago but he had to wait for his nosy sister to fall asleep before he could leave the house. He had been in such a rush that he unfortunately forgotten to grab his coat so he had to hide every time a car came down his street so he wouldn't be seen in such an embarrassing outfit. These kids at his school where crazy, they needed serious help. Who makes a young man wear a maid's costume? Then again why the hell did he even agree to this stupid dare? Samuel couldn't even remember, he was pretty gullible so they probably promised him something. Maybe it was candy. Anyways, he was freezing. Running around in a short little dress in the cold night air made him shiver, but it was to late to turn back now.

He was panting as he ran, his heavy backpack wasn't making the run any easier. Other than his jacket he had remembered to pack everything else he would need. Things for personal hygiene, extra clothes, he even brought snacks, and of course a flashlight. He brought three flashlights in fact, two where in his backpack and he had the other one clutched in his hand. It was dark outside and since Samuel was having to take shortcuts to get to the castle that meant no streetlights, which meant it would be dark. There was nothing in this would that could ever make Samuel venture into the dark on his own free will.

He continued to run and soon he could see the castle, the place where he was supposed to be staying and working as a servant for the next week. He was glad to finally get there so he picked up speed and soon the others came into view. He instantly recognized his classmates, Akria and Loki but there where two other strange men with them. One of the men had black hair and the other had silver hair, and as he ran Samuel watched as the silver haired man led his classmates up to the castle doors. Not wanting to be locked out or left behind Samuel took in a deep breathe of air before putting two fingers to his lips and letting out a short whistle just loud enough to get their attention. "Akria! Loki! Wait up!" He called out as he ran to catch up with them. He saw Collin walk in but he didn't have the air to call out for him. He slowed to a light jog he entered the castle and as he came up behind the two. He saw Collin vanish to somewhere else inside the castle but shrugged it off. The guy would be fine by himself... right? He quickly smoothed out the outfit he was being forced to wear and ran his fingers through his light pink hair to at least make himself look somewhat presentable. His face was slightly flushed from his run and his heart was pounding in his chest as he tried to catch his breath. He was also shivering slightly from his trip through the cold night air. "S-Sorry I'm a little late." He whispered softly.

He then took a second to look around and really take in his surroundings, he had been in such a rush he didn't even look as to where he was really headed. His bright teal eyes widened as he looked up at the castle in awe, and he continued to look around as he tried to just soak it in as he quickly looked around. His eyes then rested on the strange silver haired man. Who was this guy? Samuel had honestly been expecting for this place to be deserted, he never would have guessed that people actually lived in the old castle.

[Witchling Minerva]

Tray had never had anyone walk into his room without knocking before, so when the small human just walked right in he had to stop and stare at the boy in surprise. It wasn't one of the humans that was outside with Dmitri. He just watched the boy until he sat down on the floor. That gave the green haired vampire the perfect chance to speak. "What do you think you're doing in my room?" He asked as he walked in front of the boy, looking down at him. The comment the boy made annoyed him greatly. "You're shorter than me!"

Tray glared at the boy ignoring the maid outfit. He didn't want to know and he didn't really care. "Yes. They are my plants. Now get out of my room. Those without permission should not be anyway near my plants or room. Now out." This human was one smile away from ether getting seriously injured or killed. He was more likely to be killed from a punch than having his blood drained. The crimson eyed vampire didn't care what the human's name was and he certainly wasn't going to tell him his.

✚✚✚ Collin Hughes ✚✚✚

Collin looked at him as he spoke then licked his upper lip. He ignored what he was saying about his room. All Collin heard was blah blah blah. He ventured over to the window then looked back at him. "But I like it in here..Aren't you lonely, mister?" he asked then poked at another leaf with his finger. Collin liked this guys eyes, they were a deep red color, blue would've been better but they were still pretty. He smiled again and moved away from the window. Collin picked up his coat and bag then put it next to the door. He then moved to the other side and removed his shoes, pretty much making himself at home inside this guys warm room.

Collin was so ignorant, he didn't notice the guy tell him several times to get out of his room. It's not like he was going to listen. He was a very pushy and simple kid. "Ne mister, I like your pretty run. Your plants are very pretty and vibrant. I like it~!" he said then sat on his bed, his skirt going up just a little. Collin bit his finger then touched a purple leaf, it was smooth, almost like silk. As soon as he touched it, the leaf wrapped around his hand like it was giving him a handshake. Collin giggled then petted it some more.

Tray felt his eye twitch. This human was ignoring him and to make matters worse the boy kept touching his plants and was making himself at home. "I don't think you understand. I don't want you in my room." It was taking all his self control not to grab the boy and throw him out. He knew if he did the kid would most likely end up dead. "I don't want anyone in my room"

The crimson eyed vampire had to get rid of this kid before he snapped. him snapping in his own room could lead to plants getting injured. He stormed over to the human's things, picked them up and threw them out the door. Because of his unusual strength the bag did rip a bit, but it wasn't like Tray cared. Hopefully the kid would get the message. "Now get out of my room." He growled at the human.

[Wild_Rain_Falls]

Loki heard Dmitri speak as he stated that he already knew what they were wearing, making him blush furiously, forgetting all his fears. HE KNEW?!! He never felt so embarrassed, not seeming to notice how the other seemed to find out without them telling him. He held his coat more closed as he was still blushing deeply from head to toe. He was never going to live this down. Why did they have to wear these kinds of outfits in front of strangers, to top it off, vampires? He managed to somehow calm his blush that it was still there only a bit of pink still in his cheeks, then heard one of the vampires speak and flinched at the tone he spoke when he told them to never enter his room before he left into the castle. Then he turned his attention to Dmitri as he confirmed that the other had been serious of what he said if they didn't have a death wish making him gulp in fright as he nodded nervously. He would definitely keep that in mind.

Soon they were led up to the castle, as he hesitated from entering the castle, knowing he would soon have to take off his coat and reveal his embarrassing outfit. He had just taken it off when he yelped again when he heard another shout, as he blindly hid behind Dmitri. He peeked out from behind him, seeing Samuel had appeared, making him relax. Realizing who he was hiding behind, he blushed as he moved away from him as he bowed apologetically,"G-G-Gomen nasai Dmitri-sama! I didn't mean to h-h-hide behind you." He was starting to get used to his presence as he was shaking in fear as much and starting to be calm. He looked at his classmate as he apologized for being late. He then looked down at the cat who seemed to have one eye as the other was injured. It seemed to be distrusting of him and the others as he backed away from it but kneeled down on his knees. He smiled softly at the cat as he held his hand out to it, making sure to leave space between them.

It was close enough for the cat to scratch him and for him to retract it before he did, but he didn't mind. He continued smiling as he spoke softly,"It's alright. I won't ask for you to trust me immediately, but you can judge whether or not you mind my presence. I won't mind if you scratch me or not." He knew cats were intelligent cats and were hard to earn trust especially with how bad this cat seemed to have gone through. Loki knew it was really the cat's decision whether to tolerate him or not.

✚✚✚ Collin Hughes ✚✚✚

Collin watched him throw his things. He shrugged then looked at the other man in front of him. "Hey! Why are you so mean?! I just want to keep you company. It's not like i'm going to destroy your plants.." Collin pouted then laid on his bed. He looked at him with his green eyes then yawned. "I have a garden at home anyways so chill out, mister." Collin also wanted to stay in this room because he was afraid to sleep alone in this big scary castle. He put on the puppy eyes and looked at the handsome man. "J-just for the night..? Please?" he asked innocently then squeezed his pillow that lay under his chest now. He gave him the sweetest smile and innocent eyes. Hopefully this guy would budge and let him stay, if not..Collin doesn't think he'd be able to sleep tonight out of fear of being eaten by the possible vampires that live here.

Eventually, while waiting on this guys answer, Collin fell asleep on his bed. He felt so warm and comfortable. His maid costume started to wrinkle and ride up to show the oddly blue colored panties that he was forced to bu and wear for the maid costume. Collin was pulled into this dare by a boy he really admired and couldn't possibly say no so he'd be cool finally. But unfortunately, he had sold his soul as soon as he entered and came into this guys room.

OOC: I took a liking to your character <3
