Welcome to Gaia! ::

-Thank you.-

-So I've noticed... Poor little Luna... Blade is such a jerk.- *sniffle* - But him and Victoria would have made great friends.-

Isabella looked at the doors to the manor once she'd finally returned. Her skin, once milky white, looked glazed and nearly the color of fresh honey. She felt incredibly dry and rather irritated at the fact that it did not hurt nearly as much as she'd hoped. Now she would have to deal with her skin healing and seeing Shadow at some point. Chances were good that if she tried hard enough she could avoid him for the time being, but wasn't certain that she could keep it up long enough for it to be of use.

She swallowed since there was nothing elese do with it. She began to feel stronger and the sweetness sothed her throat she sighed at how good it felt. Then she remembered the cup she had for a while. "Shadow in my dresser drawer is cup of your blood that you gave to me." She points in the direction, "Can you give it to me before i try to drain you." Luna began to relax since she had the blood down her throat. "Shadow please go drink a cup of blood please." She closes her eyes, "Or i will worry about you."

Blade licked his lips for luna's blood delicous. He smiles at the thought shadow is healing her right now. 'It just means i can drink more of her later.'

-Goodnight-

Lucian lays there not moving for quite a while thinking. He suddenly jumps up and runs full speed through one of the old walls. "GODDAMMIT!" he shouts and then sighs, trying to calm himself. It doesn't work, he grabs a huge hunk of rock and sends it flying off towards a piece of ruin, yelling as it explodes with and emense bang. He catches the scent of a creature not far away and his hunter instinctes kick in. "This feels so good" he thinks to himself. He approaches his prey, circling around, staying out of sight. Suddenly he's on it, and it's dead. He stands up, turns around, and looks straight into the barrel of a gun. He quickly glances around to see a few more people around him. "What do you want?" he says in a low and raspy voice.
The man with the gun lets out a sound that is closer to a snakes hiss and says"I think you know full well what I want. Don't you remember me, your dear friend?"
Lucian takes a closer look at the man, narrowing his eyes. "Again I say, what is it that you want?" This last comment made him uneasy.
The other man makes a subtle motion and the others move in. "You" comes the reply in the same venomous tone.
Suddenly it dawns on Lucian who this man is. "Jonathen" he says, almost a whisper. He looks down, then back up at the man who had, so many years ago, tried to kill him , shot him, betrayed him. A simple "How?" is all he can muster.
"I belive I have that same question to be answered, I left you for dead, yet here you stand, although we both know the answer, don't we?" and with that, he shot his old comrade...

Juliet sighed softly as she walked through the halls, unable to get something out of her mind and it seemed to bother her. To her it seemed as if Selena and Lucian were happy so she gave up on being with the man she once loved so long ago, in a past life. Yet now it seemed as if Selena was more happy with her grandfather, but what about Lucian? Was he happy? Why did he leaver her? These questions seemed to plague her mind as she walked, a slightly painful feeling in her heart. She still had slight feelings for Lucian, but still loved Nolaloth as well.
As she walked she suddenly felt as if something wasn't right. ".........Lucian......." she whispered as she closed her eyes, trying to figure out where he was. After a few seconds she was finally able to get an image of where he was, quickly disappearing from the manor. She then reappeared next to Lucian, pushing him out of the way of the bullet but ended up getting grazed on the cheek by it.

Lucian notices several things at once, first, he hears the shot, second, he is flying away from that shot, third, someone else is here and got hit with that shot, and fourth, Jonathen was loading up another shot. He sense finally kicked back in after a fraction of a second. He launches in Jonathen's direction, staying low. He hits him at the ankles and takes his legs out.
Jonathen lets out a hiss as Lucian slams against him. "Who is this new girl Lucian?!" he shouts. He slams against the ground, Lucian no longer on top of him.
Lucian had jumped clear and landed in a tree, watching Jonathen, trying to figure out what he is, and how he has lived so long. He hears Jonathen's question and quickly scans the area. He sighs when he sees Juliet holding her face over on the edge of the tree line.
"Come out and play!" come a hiss from Jonathen. "Where are you, Lucian?" he says in a taunting tone. He feels a huge amount of force slam into him and looks around, but Lucian was already gone.
Lucian stared Jonathen down now, still not sure what he was fighting against. It seemed vaguely familiar.
Jonathen hissed once more, then slid his tongue across his venomous fangs. "Let's finish this now, my good friend!" he yells.
That was all Lucian needed, he knew what this was now, Jonathen had become one of the Serpente Amor Sanguinis, the serpent vampires, a clan which have extremely snake-like features. Lucian grins to himself, then launches towards Jonathen with amazing speed.
Jonathen was just about to hurl another taunt when he feels Lucian slam into him. He manages to keep hold of his weapon as the collide into the cold hard ground.
Lucian gets up and strides up to Jonathen,"I don't want to have to do this." he says and then goes to punch him. Jonathen catches his punch and send him flying. He corrects himself and bounces of a nearby tree, flying back Jonathen laughs and takes a moment to get his senses straight. He realises Lucian is coming back at him. He hisses something under his breath then holds his pistol level and fires.
Lucian feels something slam into his left shoulder but keeps going. He hits Jonathan and smashes him to the ground again, landing on top of him. He looks down and unleashes all his might against Jonathen. He quickly draws his own pistol and fires, hitting Jonathen at point blank range. He feels Jonathen stop struggling, so he gets up.
Jonathen had felt Lucian slam into him, he had felt him force him to the ground, he had heard that too-familiar bang of a pistol, but then everything went quiet. Everything started fading away, there was no sound, no color, nothing. He looked up at the man on top of him, his old friend, the one who should have been dead a long time ago because of him, but now in the nothingness he couldn't remember his name. Then everything went black.
Lucian picks up the body, starts a fire, and throws it on. He then remembers Juliet. He runs over to where she is and kneels down beside her. "Juliet?" he says worried about her condition, completely forgetting his own. He picks her up in his arms and carries her over to the fire. He looks over the wound on her cheek and says quietly, "Dammit".

Lucian sighs, then looks down and chuckles. "Are you sure you're ok?" he asks and then sets her down. He smiles and takes off his shirt, examining his own wound. He mutters under his breath"Thats two you've put there Jonathen" He sighs and then stares up at the sky, flushing a few painful memories out of his brain. He shuts his eyes and pinches his fingers on the bridge of his nose.
