Anabelle was alone again. She had finished taking care of Tristan's bloody nose and then he left. He had reasured her about working for him. The bracelet was her protection and she would never take it off. Even though he was a vampire, she felt safe around him. Like she had known him all her life. But that was impossible. She smiled softly and yawned. Tristan's visit had kept her up longer that she wanted it to. She still had to wake up in the morning to go to Envy and clean up all the mess. She would be prepared this time. Old ratty clothes, gloves, and a hair tie. She laid back down on her bed and stared up at the celling. Anabelle already missed the company of the black cat that had soothed her nerves. She could barely keep her eyes open any longer. They closed shut and she drifted off to a deep sleep that she had not had in a long time. The last time was the night after her and her friends were attacked by a gang of vampires.

Everything went black and then there was smoke everywhere. She opened her eyes but it was not her body that she was in. She looked around. Her view was distorted by all the smoke, no it was not smoke it was gas. Under her feet was concrete and blood. People were coughing all around her. "Brother!" The word had come out of her mouth but it was not her voice. She saw him through the gas. It was Tristan but different than what she had known of him now. It was Tristan alright. This dream felt so real, like it had actually happened to her. There were others with her. People she did not recognize. Except for one. She had seen him from Envy. A tall blonde man. She could not seem to think of his name. It was locked up tight and she did not have access to the key yet.

Everything went black again. Instead of smoke a bright light caught her attention. It was growing, breathing, consuming. She could feel the heat, pricking her skin. Fire, it surrounded her and the others. No screams came from her mouth. This body that she was in, was strong, and without fear. But Anabelle was different. She was screaming but no sound was coming out. She looked over and watched as the blonde man helped Tristan from the flames. A feeling of relief washed over the body even with the flames starting to sting. At least he was getting out. She looked at the blonde man. She caught his gaze. Anabelle wanted to yell to him, to help her. But a smirk simply formed before she was completely engulfed in flames.

Anabelle woke up screaming and coughing. The dream she had felt so real. She began to cry and rubbed her arms with her hands. She looked around and found comfort at the familiarity of her bedroom. Her breathing slowed and looked at the alarm clock that was sitting on the end table. It was a minute before the alarm would sound for the morning. She groaned and turned it off. Her body felt terrible. It was sore all over like she had just spent the entire night lifting weights. Anabelle got out of bed and went into the bathroom to take a nice hot shower. As soon as the hot water hit her skin everything flashed red and she lost her balance. She caught herself by grasping the wall. She blinked and looked around. Everything was normal. 'That was weird.' She finished taking her shower and got dressed for her second day at work.

The entire time she was walking to Envy she was thinking about the dream she had. She had no one to talk to about it. The dream had felt so real to her. And why would Tristan and the blonde man be in it. Maybe that was just a coincidence since she had just seen Tristan only right before she had gone to sleep. But something had just occured to her. She had a dream about Tristan once before. Even before she had met him from Envy. How could that be possible. After she and her friends were attacked she had dreamed that she was with him in a large hall. They were having some sort of important meeting or something. She could not remember the details because she had the dream so long ago. Anabelle bit her bottom lip and saw Envy in the distance. She was ready this time. She looked like a homeless person but there was no one that she needed to impress there. No one alive that is. She walked into Envy and got to work.

"You try to scream; your efforts in vain

It feels like he's cutting you in two and ripping you apart"

I am a Darako Ripper Vampire.
Originator of the Darako Bloodline

¯ ¯ ↘ Evangeline was born and raised in Britain. A very, very long time ago. She was spoiled rotten growing up, always given what she wanted, never denied a thing. When she turned 30 she looked in the mirror and began to see wrinkles. She tried everything but they were still there. She had all of her servants search for something to keep her beautiful face from aging. One of her servants returned with an old gypsie. The woman said that she could grant Evangeline eternal beauty and life. It sounded too good to be true but her ego told her to go through with it.

That night the gypsie worked up some black magic. Slowly Evangeline began to change. Human life left her body. Her eyes changed from her natural green to a gold. She grew fangs that she could retract and hide from others. That was the night when the Darako bloodline was born. After the ceremony Evangeline slaughtered all of her servants in front of the gypsie. The gypsie laughed and nodded her head. Evangeline cleaned her mouth and smirked at the woman as she walked closer to her. The gypsie became frightened but before she could run, Evangeline thrust her hand into the woman's chest and pulled out her heart.

I am Gluttony. I will not state the obvious. I believe myself to be less murderous than my brother and sister sins. My logic is that if everyone is dead, who will bring me food? Who will I feast with? It is rather boring celebrating alone. I am very frivolous. Much more fun than my brother and sister sins. I indulge in everything, food, drink, sex. I want it all and more of it. I do not bother with war or fighting unless I absolutely need to. I leave that to the others who enjoy it. I will watch from the sidelines and enjoy some wine.

I am Gluttony, one of seven sins that have plagued the human race since the beginning of time. We stood by and waited until the day we could unleash our wraith upon mankind. A final meeting sealed humanities fate. We disbursed to different lands and conquered them. I spread my poison onto the kingdom. Few opposed me but they were simply an appetizer. I enslaved everyone and forced them to work long hours out in the fields, growing crops to feed my voracious appetite. Everyday was a day to feast. A lottery is drawn at the end of every month and a select few people joined me at the dinner table. They ate and ate and ate until they suffocated to death. You could say after the normal food that was presented to me I got to enjoy a couple of stuffed pigs.

There has been talk of a rebellion in the lands. How dare they interupt my festivities. There is plenty of room at the table. Pull up a seat and enjoy while I sharpen my knifes and wait for dessert. I took this harmless form to fool the humans into thinking I was not dangerous. Packed inside of this tiny body my beautiful true form hides until no one opposes us any longer. If perhaps it does come down to a battle. My weapons of choice would have to be my two daggers, Feast and Famine. I use them together and devour my enemies as they attack each other. But I am slow, even in this small human body. Which is why I would rather let my brother and sister sins fight.

Gluttony was awake and at the breakfast table at the crack of dawn, already devouring his third breakfast. His meal consisted of the entire table filled with food. The table was never left empty as servants continued to flood the room bearing trays. His hunger could never be satisfied. He craved everything and must have it. Food, drink, sex. His appetite was exotic in all aspects. He did not appear to have the body of someone who over indulged in such things. That was of his choosing. When the sins came to conqure the human lands Gluttony choose a innocent looking female body. He had a method behind his madness of course. He believed that he could catch more flies with honey than with vingar. Mmm honey. Having an innocent form could let the human's defenses down. Making it easier for him to devour them. It had worked perfectly. Now that many know of his deception they tried to distance themselves from him. When he did manage to get humans close, how could they resist him. Eating was in fact a survival need for them. He was only encouraging, eating more than one needs to survive. Without their knowledge he poisoned them with high doses of Ghrelin. It is a hormone in humans that caused them to feel hungry. He poisoned them with so much in fact that they consumed food and drink until they died from suffocation. They ate until literally their stomachs burst. And that was the time that he struck. Devouring their stuffed bodies as if they were merely a snack.

If he could he would never stop gorging himself with delectable treats and wines. But he was running a piece of the land they had taken over. That was now his responsibility to maintain. He had keep his people surrounded by sin. They were forced to reproduce so he would never run out of people for his lottery. The Lottery was what he called the feast, when the humans stuffed themselves until death. Once a month he personally would draw several names and they would be the ones to join him for dinner. Oh and what a feast it was. Music, dancing, eating, drinking, and sex. Gluttony could throw the best parties. And there would be no clean up. For he would eat all the food, drink all of the wine, and the guests would follow not far behind. They had no choice but to participate in the festivities. Their wills were weak and his powers were strong. His people kept the land plentiful with their farms. They did this or they met death.

Gluttony held up his hand to the crowd of servants with trays in their arms. "I have had my fill. Begin preparing for brunch for when I return." His voice was deep and rumbled the great dining hall. It was such a strange voice coming from the body of a small female. He spoke from the mouth protruding from the human form's stomach. Unless of course he was greeting new comers then he would mimic the human's mouth into speaking the words. He pulled himself from the large chair at the end of the table. The wood creeked from releasing his massive weight. Although he was within a small body, his mass was still felt even when he walked. His pace was slow and his footsteps could be heard through the castle he resided in. He left the room and made his way down the hall. His second in command greeted him outside of the dining hall and updated him on the farm lands. The harvest was on track for the season. And once all the crops were picked the lottery would take place to celebrate. "Go take a census of everyone on my land. We must begin preparations for the Lottery." His second in command bowed and took his leave of him.

Michael stepped out of the shower and wrapped a towel around his waist. He had just come home from a long day of rehearsals with the rest of the symphony orchestra. With all the lights beating down on him and the rate that they were playing, how could someone not get soaked in sweat. Playing was his passion and the only love he had left in this world. As long as there were ears left to hear, he would play on. The Orchestra was doing very well. Next year starts their U.S tour, preforming in all the major cities starting of course with their headquarters of New York as a sort of farewell. This upcoming tour would be his second with the orchestra. Michael let out an exhausted sigh and finished getting dressed. After a rough rehearsal he knew his cello had to be slightly out of tune. He grabbed up the case and laid it gently on his bed. He popped the latches on the case and removed the large instrument from its holder. The beautiful polished wood glistened from the celling fan over head. Michael sat on the edge of his bed, resting the cello on it's stand in front of him. He ran his hand lightly over the fingerboard, feeling the strength of each string. His other hand went to the tuning pegs at the top, turning them ever so slightly until the strings became taught. He was finished with guessing. He grabbed the bow from the case and drew it across the strings. There was a piece of music that his teacher once showed him, that could help you tell whether you were in perfect tune. Straight from memory he began to play, adjusting the tuning pegs every so often as he saw fit.

Banging came at his apartment door. He set the bow down on the bed and quickly went to see who it was. An unpleasant surprise when he opened the door to see that it was one of his upstairs neighbors. He was a regular down at his door. Always complaining about the noise. "Quiet down that racket." Michael calmly smiled before replying. "I suppose not everyone in New York is so familiar with the classics. Keep that in mind when you go back up to your room and play your heavy metal." He said it in the most polite way he could, which made the angry neighbor slightly confused by his comment. Michael stepped back and closed the door in the man's face. Locking it of course because the man was quite larger than he was. Sometimes he did not understand why people did not enjoy his playing in the apartment. It was such a nice change from the hustle and bustle out on the streets. Not everyone shared his passion. Disappointed, Michael walked back over to his bed and replaced the instrument back in it's case.

Michael grabbed his jacket and exited the apartment, taking the stairs just in case the upstairs neighbor was using the elevator. The bottoms of his shoes clicked on the cement as he walked down the sidewalk. His destination was a quiet little coffee shop beside a couple of night clubs. The place did not get much business but often let him play whenever he had his cello handy. It was a quiet place to just sit and enjoy a cup of joe after a long day of work. The club was packed beside it but that was not his scene. He enjoyed the little things in life and the coffee shop felt like home. He pulled open the old wooden door, a bell clanged letting the owner know that someone had just entered. "The usual please John." The owner smiled and started pouring him a cup of coffee. "No cello tonight sorry. Maybe I'll come by tomorrow night and play." The man set the cup down in front of him and smiled. "Come any time you like. I know how busy you are Michael." Michael picked up the cup and placed it to his lips, drinking down the rich black coffee. It warmed him to the bone. Even if it were ninety degrees out, he could still enjoy a cup.

Thoughts: That was a long day.
Location: Coffee shop beside the Night Club
