Lily stood a few feet from Rogue and the woman, silently observing her feeding habits. Personally? She had a little more lust for terror most days, but maybe that was exactly what they weren't supposed to do.
Lily stood as a statue, the only movement being her hand bringing the cigarette to her lips, with one leg strongly straight and the other knee popped just a bit. Her usual sultry stance to draw attention to the stilettos strapped to her feet and the feminine curves that she had lifetimes to learn exactly how to exploit effectively.
"Nicely done," she purred to her new female friend. Friend, mentor, accomplice, partner...who knew what word to use? She just knew that their relationship could get potentially interesting and maybe a bit more unconventional than most work relationships in this city.
Now what will we do about the wolf?...she was beginning to like being able to converse with her without the spoken word. Hopefully a skill she may be able to pick up, maybe it was already there and she just never found it...which would be an interesting change seeing as how she thought no one knew Lililane better than Lililane.

As Rogue cleaned her fangs in a somewhat catlike motion, her eyes were glued to the dumpster, and the screams as they were slowing down, and becoming deeper.
Perhaps that was just an appetizer.
She smirked something sadistic Lily's way and walked closer to the dumpster.
She stepped close, and silently as the grunts and groans stopped as she stood near it. She paused unmoving.
She heard another grunt and moan, and in a moment moved behind the dumpster, careful not to touch anything hoping Lily would follow.
The dumpster top opened. It was a lycan for sure, but it had not completely changed. It was in the last 90 percent, but, not complete. She watched the back of the dog as it crawled out of the trash.
Rogue jumped the dog from behind and bit into its neck as it began to thrash. She used ironclad fingers to grab into its hair from the left, and the other arm to rip the lycan's right arm around its back. The momentum from her jump made the lycan fall to the ground.
Lycan blood was like a greatly aged bourbon, and Rogue ripped open the veins as the dog slashed.
The other arm of the lycan grabbed Rogue then, and threw her forward a good 15 yards.
She landed on her feet, and turned facing the beast, and smiling at Lily.
Care to play?

A slither of darkness shuddered silently near Rogue and Lily's position. It was subtle, and unnoticed by any mortal creatures within the vicinity. It would seem like nothing more than a slight twitch in the shadows to the untrained eye. However, it was much more than that....
A dark figure wrapped in darkness silently manifested from the slither of darkness, without a sound. The dark figure formed itself leaning its back to the brick wall of the inside of the alley. The figure silently watched the two female Vampires, instantly recognizing both of their scents, bringing back a flush of memories.
The Void user had been dormant in New York for quite sometime now... and now he had returned.
He silently watched from the comfort of the shadowy veil of the alleyway, as Rogue attempted to slaughter a Lycan, and made a simple vocal gesture towards Lily to join in.
The memories of the past flooded his mind, as he watched like a dark statue, invisible to the untrained eye. He remembered his ex lover quite well, and remembered his vendetta against Rogue and the other Elders. His most recent memory was his intense battle with Rogue, and the deal they struck after the battle was ended. Rogue held Edith's life in her hands, and Veroen held Alexz's life in his. It was a draw.
Veroen sorted through these memories in silence, and waited in the dark. It was unclear what his intentions could be, and whether or not he intended to reveal himself was yet to be seen.

As Rogue looked at Lily, she felt something shudder within her.
The void flexed and she felt it.
She did not see Veroen, nor did she sense his presence. But she felt the void flex, both within her and within the alleyway. She had been driving away the black all evening, and ever since that battle. The darkness ravaged with Sanguinarian bloodlust...her Sanguinarian bloodlust...she did not want to unleash that type of death. Alexz had given her blood and it had strengthened the ties to keep the monster at bay...to give her some form of control...
Yet she felt the shudder of the void, and it made itself known within her in that second, the cold was still a part of her and it would not be ignored.
To Lily, all that she would have seen out of Rogue physically would probably be a slight gasp, and Rogue unlock her eyes and briefly look at the ground, putting a hand where the black diamond used to sit in her stomach....a reactionary response to the phantom pain (previous storyline).

Lily turned to Rogue and a sly smile crept across her face.
"I thought you'd never ask," she tore off her jacket, tossed it to the side, and rushed towards the wall of the alley in a flash of red hair and ivory skin. Her heels clacked against the brick for a brief moment while she launched herself behind him, she wasn't much for drool and snarling in her face.
She hopped on his back and dug her nails in the flesh while she braced herself for the bite out of his shoulder. He growled and thrashed, eventually causing her to lose her grip and send her flying into the hard metal of the dumpster. He spun around and came at her neck, she was dazed for a moment but managed a ironclad grab at his throat before he did any real damage...but not before he snagged her vintage Cartier necklace in his jagged teeth and swallowed it.
That was it.
She was not going to sift through s*** to get that back, so that left her with only one option...she had to open him up, right here and now if she ever wished to see it again. She dug her nails into his neck while she braced herself against the dumpster for the kick to the chest. It only got him a few feet for a few moments but long enough for her to rip the storm drain off the wall and bash him in the head a few times.
"Do you mind helping, love?" she called to Rogue, blood spatter all over her face.
"The mutt ate my necklace! MY F***ING NECKLACE!" with each word she delivered another blow, bending the hollow metal pipe.

Rogue watched Lily and her tactical movements...more feral than calculated, which, was good and bad.
She saw the flare of color in Lily's aura before she saw Lily's brow darken at the necklace being eaten.
This should be good.
Rogue began to laugh as Lily called out to her. Rogue began a run forward and leapt at the wall as Lily had, and used the momentum in a similar fashion and propelled herself at the wolf aiming below where Lily was swinging and launched herself at the wolf's midsection. Together they slammed into the opposite wall, and she slammed her arm full force at the wolf's back, propelling her arm through the flesh and her hand came out the other side.
The wolf howled something nasty, and she then ripped her arm out of the new hole, and bit into the other side of his neck, taking this creature's life, as he was already too weak. She quickly stood, blood covering her frontside, dripping down her mouth. She turned, her eyes bright emerald, and pulled a silver knife.
"His heart is still beating, even now. They really are quite amazing creatures, aside from the furry goodness."
She flipped the dog onto its back. The breathing was labored.
"Have at it."
She handed the knife to Lily and smiled.

Lily grinned, took the knife, and gently put it to rest between her teeth while she pulled her hair up and out of her way. Her skirt was already a goner from the fight at Las Noches so she just tore it off, revealing simple black spanx (never know when a girl needs to make a break for it wink ), and used it to shield her bare knees from the blood-soaked concrete at her feet.
She buried the knife deep in his gut and tore straight through the middle, the time for precision was a bit far gone at this point.
"Please pardon the momentary absence of tact," she buried her hand inside of the carcass and felt around for the jewels. "I wouldn't mind so much if it wasn't vintage...they just don't make jewelry like this anymore," she grinned as she felt the chain and pulled the blood-dripping diamonds from his belly. A simple tear drop configuration of several large stones, big enough to draw attention and climb into the six figure range...but the classics were best kept to basics...in her opinion, of course.
"I don't have a proper place for them yet, but I have quite the extensive collection," she grinned and wiped the necklace off on the remnants of her skirt before stashing it in her cleavage until the proper repairs could be made. "Everything changes but diamonds are forever," she giggled and let her hair down with a shake, "and they just feel so damn good."
Lily grabbed her jacket off the ground and slipped it back on.
"Now what do we do with that? I'd usually toss the mutt in the dumpster but I never have been the Queen of Discretion when it comes to these sorts of things," she laughed and pulled a cigarette from the pack in her jacket pocket and lit up.

"I'm sure you do have a magnificent collection. I must say though, my own taste lies in the emerald."
Rogue was covered in blood. Her clothes were all black, so the blood was not particularly shown, minus extra glint in the street lights, but where it spilled and splattered all down her neck and chest to where her low V-neck ended; her pale skin accented the color with commitment.
She walked back to the beginning of the alleyway and grabbed her phone in the jacket she shed after killing the woman.
"This is where teamwork and resources have their place." She knew it was hard sometimes for many vampires to cooperate in larger groups. Power plays were always an issue, and some preferred to be in solitude. A big reason a coven was a strong asset was because it held the potential to be a network banded together of like-mind to protect its members, as well as function as one mind so they would not be disorganized like the rest of the otherworldly factions of the city.
"Jen, I need you to pick up a stray. Prep the furnace. But before you do, I want to know why this lycan was only 90% turned when uninterrupted in shift."
"Sure thing, milady."
Rogue put the phone back in the jacket and put the jacket back on.
She began wiping her chin.

A soft, slow clap could be heard, traveling across the street and reaching Rogues and Lily's ears. And another, and another in a steady slow pattern. After a few moments, a dark figure casually walked out of the alleyway across the street, and into the visibility of one of the street lights, clapping his hands in a slow steady pattern as a sort of applause so it would seem.
The light revealed long black hair that reached the figures chest, as well as a pale defined face that complimented the color. Clothed in blackened leather, the figure looked at Lily and Rogue with a very slight smile on the corner of his mouth. Crimson Irises stared at the two female Vampires, but revealed nothing about the man. his scent however, would have given him away instantly.
The slow applause continued as the man walked casually and slowly to the pattern of the sound.
"Ah, females are always much more violent than one would think..." Veroen spoke with a deep voice that also had a beautiful ring about it. His crimson eyes looked toward Lily. "..wouldn't you agree, Lily?" It was unclear, but it almost sounded as though a hint of mockery was in the Void users voice. The smile in the corner of his mouth slightly grew. The Assassin stopped applauding once he reached the middle of the street, but continued walking forward with ease.

Rogue's attention darted quickly and reactionary to the noise. Her irises narrowed and honed in once the figure stepped from the darkness. Before she saw him, she felt the darkness move.
The void mocked her.
She stood very still as Veroen spoke and walked closer to them. She had stopped wiping her face of blood at the noise, and had unsuccessfully removed its spilled remnants that had moved down her chin and to her collarbones and down disappearing beneath the v-neck of her black top.

If there ever was a moment to bury your head in the sand…it was now. The scent she would recognize anywhere, she thought she would have avoided it at all costs if it ever came her way again but he did have a knack for coming out of no where. Blood spatter dotted her face and her wardrobe made her look more like a stripper on a smoke break than an old girlfriend. A jacket, bustier, microscopic shorts, and 6 inch heels…this must have been the cherry on top of this glorious situation.
The victim of her latest indulgence in arson, which fueled her disappearance to the other side of the country, stood right before her. Just as dark and brooding as ever…he hadn’t changed too much.
She laughed and exhaled the hit from her cigarette as he walked up to them.
“I wouldn’t say all females…I’d like to think I shattered the mold.” She arched a brow and shot a grin his way.
“Fancy meeting you here…again. Sorry about your apartment, by the way. I swear I meant to call,” Lily threw her head back at the absurdity but he seemed to be unscathed…inappropriate humor seemed like the route to go.

Veroen cocked an eyebrow at Rogues reaction.
"Relax, my dear Rogue. I have not yet forgotten our agreement..." Veroen spoke with a smooth, almost soothing tone.
He stopped barely 8 feet away from the pair. He had to admit, they both looked strangely stunning, and the blood on them both was slightly arousing.
He glanced at Lily after hearing her words, and looked her up and down as the grin in the corner of his mouth somewhat lessened.
"I was planning on remodeling anyway." He said in a sarcastic tone. He had not forgotten what she had done to his apartment, nor had he forgotten what she had done to his face. Only after becoming a Void master had his eye been replaced with a somewhat fake eye of the Void that matched his real one. It was little more than an illusion.
He pulled a cigarette out from the confines of his clothing, as well as a lighter, and lit the cigarette, all in one motion.
He inhaled silently, and eyed Lily for a moment before exhaling.

She more or less felt the memories she had taken from Lily when she took her blood as she watched Veroen approach. The apartment. His face.
She watched him and tilted her head slightly, observing his motion.
"Was she really worth the trouble?"
Rogue referred to the deal they had made.
She licked her lips as a drip of blood made its way to her mouth from the lycan's blood that was spilled before them.

Lily noted the hostility between her two old friends, seems none of them could escape each other. Bitter feelings were what made the world go 'round, she was used to it. She walked up to him and stood right before him, in all her gory and disheveled feminine glory, and leaned into him. One hand on his chest and pressing her lips to his ear.
"Save the modesty, love...rage is so much more attractive than pouting." Lily whispered sweetly to him and gave him a sincere but somewhat mocking kiss on the cheek.
"Now, a girl would love to stay and chat in the middle of this awkward reunion...but I would really like to freshen up and possibly put on some better form of clothing. So I'm going to walk in no specific direction, to the non-specific place where I keep my belongings, and that if you follow...I promise you won't find me there again but feel free..." she laughed and winked at him before motioning to Rogue.
"You're more than welcome to join me, it isn't much but there is booze. I'm not sure what's between the two of you though," Lily giggled and took another drag from her cigarette as she started to walk off.
((Exit to the Graveyard))

Veroen was still as stone as Lily kissed his cheek. No emotion, no reaction, though in his mind he was not exactly welcoming her seductive gesture.
He said nothing as she walked off towards wherever she was going.
His eyes narrowed, as he watched her walk away. After a moment, he glanced at Rogue with his crimson Irises.
"At the time, yes." this was his answer to Rogues question. He did not think about such things that often. Especially the subject at hand.
He inhaled the cigarette smoke thoughtfully, and exhaled with a slight sigh.
