Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ace seemed to hear a voice calling and he opened his eyes to find himself in between a group of figures wearing dark colored cloaks. It recalled to him they were gathered as the Volturi Coven was pareparing a possible fight against the threatening Cullens and their allies because an immortal child was reported. What a troublesome thing, the vampire thought.

He couldn't remember when he was turned into a vampire, but he believed his human life was a boredom so when a charming lady invited him, he didn't reject at all. However, life being a vampire was as bored as human's. Thing turned a bit interesting when he met Kimberly, and the two remained good friends.

Ace yawned when a figure tried to convince them actions must be taken to eliminate such a danger for the well beings and stability of all the vampires. His eyes looked around for the trouble-maker he knew. Ah, there she is. The tall vampire strolled towards her, "Hey pal, what do you think they're planning?" Next to him stood a frowning female, in their society, Volturi was like human's government and laws must be followed.

In his opinion, Volturi leaders were selfish and only cared if their positions would be threatened, all the rest were simply tools to be taken advantage of. The vampire didn't care to be honest, his action would merely be depend on what his friend say.

A grin was given in response to what Kimberly said, "You know me well-" he paused to lean closer so that only she could hear him. "- I've no intention in impressing the authority." Possessing a certain loyalty didn't mean he would do whatever they say.

"I heard of the immortal child with the Cullens." There seemed to be sparkles when he said so. "They said it's destructive, don't you want to see it with you own eyes?" A question, also a suggestion. Who said only she was a trouble maker, inside, the male vampire was even worse. In addition, he was unwilling to sacrifce his life for something he didn't desire. Even as a pawn, he won't allow such a stupid ending.

Vampires are such a stupid race, arrogant and prideful. If he expressed his thoughts to the rest, he would be classified as a freak. Chuckled lightly as he listened to her idea, Ace returned a similar grin. "Sure, why not? The Cullens sound interesting, a vampire and a human......" Well, maybe he could watch how strong they are while other pawns fought.

Ace wasn't weak at all, however, he enjoyed being in a middle position. A rank that he won't be disposed of while not drawing the leaders' attention. He had no interests in protecting them even confronting powerful enemies would be entertaining.

"Good plan," he praised. "As the pawns sent won't be the smart one, as long as we covered our faces, they won't recognize us." After all, hunting vampires would be much better than hunting humans. At least, this time, their preys would fight back but not yell or shriek once before their lives end.

Ace rested his chin on his hand, "Ah, these four. I'll tackle these two, he had no minds but physical strength while she's smarter, her response is slow compared to the rest. Kimberly, you can take care of another two at the same time?" He tossed her a challenging grin. He couldn't wait to see a shocked expression on their faces, all the time, they thought their higher ranks mean anything. They were going to learn it mean nothing.

"Let them be. Soon they'll be gone, without knowing who takes their lives. Kimberly, I can't wait to watch the chaos stir up." He shrugged. "Let's talk about the masks we're gonna wear. I've noticed the masks that human murderers in movies wear, won't it be ironically fun if we wear those while killing vampires?" The male vampire chuckled mischievously.

Ace grinned, felt great as his idea was approved. The male vampire leaned close to take a look at various masks. "Hmm, I like that. Also, I think wearing a dark robes would confuse them more, you know, only high ranks wear dark colors." He stretched like a cozy big feline. "A scythe, I like how it fits my height."

Didn't even look at the sender before opening the message recevied, he knew only Kimberly could do so. It was their little game and they enjoyed it even the two were simply next to each other. Instead of replying by his mouth, his thumb brushed across the keys swiftly.



He put his phone away after he finished that, "Hey Kimberly, do you still remember the time when you were a human?" He asked casually, to them, their past lives were not a taboo as regarded by the rest. They were merely past memories, part of them.

A carefree chuckle, "Same here. I do acknowledge I wasn't liked as a human, though my good looking attracted ladies and of course a hot vampire to give me that bite." He paused to give a shrug. "But so what? As long as I can live my life freely, I don't care at all. Good boy or infamous dude, there's no difference for me."

Ace stood up and bowed like a gentleman when his friend expressed her trust, "That's my pleasure, lady." Then, he sat down again so that she could get closer. "Maybe, maybe not. The truth that we get along well is right there. It makes me laugh to imagine we trick people as a duo anyway."

"Ah-ah, I guess if you could see via your eyes, you'd probably take a good seat, and enjoy some yummy popcorns while I do so. Sadly, that's not gonna happen." He singsonged as he departed, waved his hand without looking back. "If you plan to borrow masks from any shop, be careful not to trigger the alarm. See you later then, buddy." He wasn't going to speak it out frankly that his vampire friend might be a bit clusmy sometimes. He didn't need a scar on anywhere of his body, Kimberly wasn't someone to mess with.

There were always ladies in higher ranks, however arrogant and prideful they were, Ace had confident to seduce them. Yet, he picked a more challenging way to get the robes - sneaked in and stole them.

He didn't mention he had to look into the time when the targets were not in room, the robes were their identities, hence it's common to wear it in official occassions. What's more, it was a piece of cake thought thrilling to steal the room key with a deliberate contact with the targets.

Anyway, when Kimberly handed him the mask, he had two robes rested in his arm. "That one's longer and bigger, not quite fitting for you, take this instead." He put on his mask and slipped himself into the robe, it had quite a strong smell of perfume. Not that he couldn't bear with it, but Ace still frowned for a little while until the female vampire suggested they should set off.

"Hey Kimberly, am I scary enough in this?" The male beanstalk asked in a playful tone.

Ace chuckled at his friend's poor description, "You always make me smile, kimberly." Surely they had a long way to go, for instance, climbing a snow mountain. He raised his arms and put them behind his head, "After this, I need a warm bath, then sit near the stove with a hot spicy chocolate, ah~"

The more he thought about his excellent plan, the more he wanted things to get done. "Let's have a race, the one who loses need to prepare the chocolates." It's always better to have an incentive in doing things for Ace, he was a slack guy when things didn't charm him.

He could see Kimberly's eyes shone in red, same as his. Frankly speaking, without control, vampires were just blood-thirst beasts that enjoy hunting. That was their wild nature. The female grabbed her preys first, under the mask, Ace cracked a smile spotting his own preys.

Not falling behind, he surprised his target with a sweet whisper, "Ah, caught you." The vampire startled quickly recovered and clawed towards his way, Ace evaded that and locked his arm, pressed it against his chest. It created extensive pressure. The prey roared in anger and bared his fangs, that didn't scare the male vampire.

Since his confused expression pleased Ace, he rewarded him with a suffocation. "How does it feel suffocated by yourself?" Yet, he well knew a vampire won't die simply like that. Ironically, like human, they had to either lose an abudant amount of bloods, have a severe failure in internal organs or pierced through their hearts.

"Traitor!," the vampre barked. "Shhh, you're too noisy." Ace pinned his limbs onto the ground with long nails. His prey continued, guessing his identity by throwing random names. He would never get the answer, sadly. "Let me finish another one before I get back to you."

The turmoil had already drawn his other prey in alert, even not knowing why a high rank attacked them, his instinct told him to fight. Hence, he pounced on the cloaked figure. The last thing he saw, however, was a flash of white light before he was dismembered into pieces.

One down, one to go. He turned to check Kimberly's progress, swirling his scythe and strolled towards the nailed vampire. Holding in his hand was a torch, painful yells and groans from being burnt would be a nice torture, Ace thought.
