((Warning! wahmbulance In coming foul language >.< ))
Just as Marie was reaching for the door, she felt a sharp pull on her arm and found herself thrown on to a desk. She screamed bloody murder, her legs now flailing to attempt to land a heel between the dirty, filthy vermin's legs that was now attempting to do who knew what to her. "What the f*** are you doing!? Let me the f*** go you rat b*****d!!!" She screamed, terrified beyond any measure of the word. Hearing her heart pounding in her ears, she only just registered the fact that Mahlah was trying to help her. She scrambled to get off the desk and go for her purse as quickly as possible. She knew her pepper spray and her phone were in there. If she could just get to them...she could blind Neil long enough to get away, and call the cops.

Neil ignored the girl as his tongue ran over his fangs. He stared at Marie's neck hungrily and snapped down, piercing the silky flesh.

If possible, Marie's scream became sharper when she felt a set of sharp fangs piece the flesh of her neck. "What the f*** are you doing?!!" She screamed, trying desperately to wiggle free from his grasp, while praying at the same time that he hadn't pierced her jugular. "Get the f*** off me!!!" He was going to kill her. She knew it. Adrenaline pumped through her veins, her heart was beating like a hummingbird's, unfortunately driving her life blood right into Neil's willing mouth. As she fought back her movements slowly began to feel more sluggish. "Let me...go!!" She pushed up on his chest, trying to move him, or even just a budge. But her human strength was little use against that of a vampire. Like a gazelle under a lion, she knew she was loosing.
All the while, as she was trying to fight off Neil, Marie searched for the eyes of Mahlah and Anya. "Help me! Please!" She begged, praying that they wouldn't help Neil like he had demanded.

Only the insane have strength to prosper...Mahlah looked on, not sure what to do, Neil was a Consort, he was something that demanded respect and obedience from it and this could possibly be something that saved Aunty Anya’s life too. It liked Aunty Anya, making Marie a host would be wonderful too, it would be nice to have someone around who didn’t always talk down to it. But would things change after she was Hosted? Would her addiction to Neil’s vitae be something that changed and destroyed this rare, beautiful flower? Neil hated it, there was no denying that, and who would say that his presence would have an influence after a while. Marie’s please and cries were starting to tear at his soul. He could feel the rage start to wash over him again, the smell of her blood wasn’t doing that predatory instinct any disfavours either. It wanted a sip, just a taste. Something small on the drop of its tongue. No. Not like this. Her screams were paniced and full of terror, it hated that sound, it was like listening to a beloved pet dying painfully and not being able to do much about it. What was it going to do? What could it do? It was over matched for the most part. But perhaps not outsmarted. It did take a few minutes for a plan to be concocted from its mind. But in the end, its eyes narrowed with determination. What was its purpose? Anya said it didn’t need a purpose, it didn’t need to do anything but exist for the sake of the clan, but what sort of life was that? What was the point of wandering an empty existence?
With little warning, the desk beneath Marie disappeared as Mahlah kicked it out from under them, taking advantage of his half vampiric heritage. There was a thick flapping of fabric as Mahlah got under Marie and then pulled her back, twisting around and attempting a to give Neil a swift kick in the a** to further off balance him more than the sudden shifting of the desk would have done. With Marie safely in its arms it took off towards the door, smashing it in with it shoulder, knocking it off its hinges as well as doing some major damage to said shoulder. It could still hold Marie, and hold did. Why was it doing this? Compulsion, perhaps, or was there more to it? Having just now give the finger to his clan mates he knew that there was no turning back. It just pissed all over years of tradition and hierarchy with one choice. Everything that it had known up until now was gone, every comfort and sanctuary that it once had was wiped clean and there was no where to go now. It would likely be hunted for this transgression. It would likely only have bought time for Marie, but for this moment, for this point in time… it had no regrets. If anything, it felt good to finally take something away from Neil and protect something that was worth its protection. Aunty Anya might have a bad couple of days to her now that Marie, a potential host was now just out of arms reach, but it didn’t care. It would make sure to return the favour of kindness by protecting her. Why? Well… why not, it supposed.
Mahlah kept to the streets with a lot of people in it. Neil wouldn’t be stupid enough to actually do anything here, and Marie could get help for her bite wound. It was something that was going to have to be taken care of. It could be explained away, really. Mahlah was confident that despite this, it could keep the masquerade going. It ran as far and as fast as it could. Making sure that there was lots of people around, the night life was rich here in this area, so there was no small group of people. All they would have to do was dodge him and stay in a crowd until morning. Neil couldn’t follow them then. Daylight was the one advantage that they had right now. It needed to get Marie to a safe place. Maybe he could track some vampire hunters down and leave her in their care? It was a gamble, but it might work. Being only half vampire had its advantages sometimes. Its duel nature was conflicted, usually, but right now they seemed to be united for this purpose and goal that it had set out for itself. Something it would go to the grave for. If it gave Marie a fighting chance, it would take the gamble. Hell, it just lost everything… what more did it have to lose other than its life? Its sanity was holding on by a threat, its family was no more and it was alone. Spare perhaps the girl in its arms right now...only those who prosper can truely judge what is sane.

"Hey, pal, where do you think you're taking that girl! I certainly hope you ain't thinkin 'a kidnappin' her!" Detective d**k Gumshoe had been looking for clues, poorly, when he came across Mahlah and Marie. He decided that it was his duty as an officer to help the defenseless.

Anya did nothing, yet the purely livid look on her face said it all. Surely all nearby would feel her scorn, perhaps even her sorrow at having one of the clan run off and betray them for some...some human! Do not get me wrong, for she is certainly furious at Neil as well. Chasing off her meal before she got a taste, acting out so disgracefully before a potential host... It would take much to win Anya's favor over once more. "Neil, get me something to drink. Now." she hissed, craving blood all the more now. It was a wonder she kept such self control after Marie cut herself. "So help me if I'm not feeding on someone of decent taste in the next five minutes, you will wish I had killed you! I will replace you, I will replace that traitor, I will replace everyone if I don't have something to drink IMMEDIATELY!"

Marie screamed again when instead of a solid desk under her, was thin air and the feeling of falling, soon met by a swift stop. She felt herself being gathered up in someone's arms, and whisked away from the danger. The timing on Mahlah's part was perfect. A moment longer and she would have lost the strength to keep fighting. Even now she was lethargic, her movements feeling sluggish. Feeling that she was now somewhat safe, Marie rested her head against Mahlah's chest. She could feel her blood still seeping from the fresh wound in her neck, running warm and wet down her arm. With the energy she could muster, she lifted her hand to her neck, attempting to stem the flow.
In a moment she could feel she was outside, the cool night air nipping at her flesh. "Mahlah....thank you..." she whispered, having no idea how to properly thank the being who just saved her life. She was filled with relief that her fears of dying by Neil's hand wouldn't come true. Hearing someone's voice nearby, Marie turned her head carefully, not wanting to undo the little clotting that had started around the wound. "No..he...I was being attacked. He saved me." Marie mumbled, trying to explain.

"I see. Do ya need me to drive you to a hospital? 'Cause I can do that." Gumshoe offered. "And of course, I'll have to file a report about the assault, if you don't mind."

Only the insane have strength to prosper...Mahlah slowed down for a moment, still carrying Marie in its arms. It looked around for a moment, trying to find a place where Marie could get some medical attention for her wound. It hadn't been to a hospital for as long as it could remember, it wasn't sure if it was a good thing to bring Marie too, admitadly it was a little lost as to what to do. Maybe bring Marie home? But Anya would know where they were. During the day was fine, but right now. Walking around, blending into the crowd the best it could it was pulled from its thoughts when Marie rested her head against its chest. It looked down at Marie who was looking a little too weak for her own good. It shoulder was starting to get more and more sore as the adrenaline slowly died down after that split second decision that royally screwed up its own life. But... Marie was safe, and there was an odd feeling as Marie placed so much trust in it.
"....your welcome." It replied quietly, a silent solumness in its voice as the gravity of its actions was starting to become realize. Well, there was no turning back now, it needed to forge on. "Is there a safe place where we can go to get that wound of yours looked at. I would rather it be populated or hidden in case Neil comes after us..."
Mahlah was starting to move again when a gruff voice came from behind and a rather rough looking man asked him what his intentions were with the girl. Mahlah gave him a suspicious look and turned to fully face him. Should it bolt? Was this man dangerous or was he going to be able to help them? Would it be best to try and outrun the man? Mahlah tensed for a moment as it prepared to get Marie to safety, though Maries words made him relax somewhat. Marie seemed to recognize him, a friend perhaps? Or did she just recognize something about him? It had been a while sense it had to deal with actual police and detectives before. So it wasn't sure what to make of the man.
"I need... to get her to a safe place where she can get medical attention." Mahlah tried to explain, his tone was soft and rather unsure. It was still not sure about this human, but... perhaps if they made an ally out of him then Marie could get some more help than what it could prove for her alone. When the man made the offer Mahlah looked a little more unsure. HIs grip tightened ever so slightly, being protective of this girl, though, Mahlah was starting to give the stranger the benefit of the doubt, he seemed genuinely concerned about Marie. "...if she goes, I go with her... that's okay, right?"..only those who prosper can truely judge what is sane.

"Of course! My car's parked around the block." Gumshoe said, curious about the events that had led the girl and the... other girl(?) to be on the run.
"Can I ask you two what happened?"

((Don't have time to post right now but....Anime looks ignored. crying
Maybe I should make a human for Anya to make a new consort out of to take Neil's place. *nod nod* *cue evil laugh* Serves him right for not allowing his origin first bite. Anyone agree? xp ))

((Doesn't Marie have to drink Neil's blood to become a host? >.< I highly doubt she would go anywhere near him after attacking her like that. Neil and Anya have some sweet talking to do if they still want Marie. rofl Good luck!! biggrin ))

{This is partly her being unreasonable, but she's hungry damnit! XD
If you do, that would be awesome. I was hoping that the other clans would be more active and that there would be multiple consorts in each when I first made this, tbh.}
