After Ivy had passed out on the floor next to D, she felt a little weak after she had lost so much blood. But she could feel herself being picked up by someone, and she knew who it was. It was Raziel.
After a few seconds, Ivy could feel herself being laid on a soft bed. But when she felt her wounds being cleaned and worked on, she opened her eyes, gasped, screamed in pain. then her eyes closed once more as she finally slept.
After a few hours of sleep, Ivy could tell her wounds were healed, but they left scars.
"Aww, damn you November. I swear on my undead life that i will find a way to kill you." Ivy moaned as she started to sit up, seeing Raziel sitting mext to her on the edge of the bed.
"What in the hell are you doing here?" Ivy asked as she leaned over on arm.

Raziel didn't glance up from his book, though he spoke back to her as he sat there. "Well the last time I checked this was my home and you were a guest." He smiled and finally turned his head over to her.
"I see you are back to your sparky self. But before you decide to kill me, why don't we just sit and chat for a little bit. And please, don't act coy, I know how much you want me dead." He finally shut the book and stood up, placing it back on the shelf he had taken it from.
"Did you ever stop to think that I experimented on you for a reason other than personal gain? Or are you just going to believe I'm some pervert who sleeps with every pretty cat he see's." He turned and looked back to her, both hands behind his back as he watched her.

Dracul place a hand over his heart and gasped as he felt both D and Ivy staked through the heart by Ivys doing. His crimson gaze left the room he had been watching November. He doubled over in pain and grit his teeth, only one thing could explain how greatly he had felt their wounds. "...She is mine." Dracul gasped before he took a seat, his face in deep thought...
_
D stayed stock still, a war raging internally in himself. It wasnt until Gina spoke his name that his eyes turned back to their sapphire color. He was about to release Gina when he felt someone grab him from behind. Still coming out of his daze D didnt resist much, and Ivys words didnt register right away either.
"No wait dont! He's coming out of it!" The parasite exclaimed just before Ivy staked them both through the heart. D gasped and instantly feel to the ground, unconscious and lifeless once again....

Gina listened to Raziels voice and watched him pick up Ivy and leave. she had a feeling he wouldnt do anything to her. hes done so much as it were. she didnt listen to the idea of leaving D though. she felt like a helpless child, and she wouldnt leave someone who saved her times before.
she heard the thing speak before she gasped from the stabbing, and after Raziel and Ivy dissapeared, she crawled slowly over to Ds body. she lifted her small hand up and levitated it over to Ds shoulder, wondering if he would jump out of nowhere. she placed it gently on his shoulder, and then pushed it a bit, trying to see if either D or the thing on his hand speak, a lifeless expression on her face while she looked at the lifeless body

The wind picked up and the blood that had been spilled upon the floor started racing towards Ds left hand. It took it a good 15 minutes before the parasite let out a burp and several more minutes before the youth's eyes fluttered open.
"Get up man, i cant keep doing this. One in awhile is hard enough to keep your kicker started again let alone doing it twice in a day." The parasite said in a winded tone. The parasite had a limit as well and it seemed his was near. "Ill need to rest like hell once this is all over with." He panted before going silent.
It ended up taking the youth a full hour before he shakily sat up and placed a hand to his head. His gaze held confusion, though his eyes were no longer crimson and his actions where his own now he still felt out of it....
Ds blue eyes focused on Gina after awhile. "Who are you?" He asked gently, his memory seemed to be a bit fuzzy at the moment.
_
Edit:
After D had reawoken, Dracul left his room and slipped into the shadows. He reappeared behind November in the garden. "Ive forgotten about this part of the castle..." He said gently, more to himself than to her.
((Last post for the night.))

Gina watched the whole time when D was able to even wake up, and tried to help him out. when he asked her who she was, she didnt know really what to say, but she tried.
"Its Gina. Gina Corten. a former Vampire that became mortal again. Are you alright?" she asked quietly while trying to help him up, feeling a bit odd to saying she was a mortal now.

(Awe! So soon?)
November laid on the bench with both arms resting on her stomach. One because it was forced to, the other because she felt uneven if she just let it hang towards the ground. Her eyes were closed, and she had not only been taking in the smell of the flowers, but the sounds of the night.
Even as he spoke, she didn't open her eyes. She seemed to be asleep, but she started up once he finished musing to himself. "That's it..I've decided it.." Before he had a chance to ask, she continued. "I've decided that you remind me of a spider. Little creature that seems so insignificant but brings unfathomable horror and makes even the strongest man bow down before it. Always hiding in the shadows, making it's traps, and luring it's prey to it's premature demise, feasting upon the bodily fluids to gain nurishment and heading out to do it once more. Always that way, trap and then kill. Yes, I think that fits you quite nicely."
"The only problem now though, is to figure out what kind of spider you are. Are you the type that farmers and gardners leave so they can get rid of the unwanted pests that plaque them? Or are you the one lurking in the shadows, waiting to bite and send them into a world of their own torment?"
Still she refused to open up her eyes, she was enjoying the night for once. It was strange how she was starting to love it more and more, when as a human, she had always hated it. "You should come out here more often. It's very nice out here. Your servents keep the garden looking very neat. I've never seen anything this beautiful.." Finally, she reopened them, staring up into the sky then turning her head to the side to take a look at the orchids just before her.
"So are you done with your terrors tonight? Or did you just pop in to say hi? Or perhaps you came to ask me something that's on your mind. One never can draw just one conclusion from your movements."

~Masquerade Of The Night~ Raziel didn't glance up from his book, though he spoke back to her as he sat there. "Well the last time I checked this was my home and you were a guest." He smiled and finally turned his head over to her.
"I see you are back to your sparky self. But before you decide to kill me, why don't we just sit and chat for a little bit. And please, don't act coy, I know how much you want me dead." He finally shut the book and stood up, placing it back on the shelf he had taken it from.
"Did you ever stop to think that I experimented on you for a reason other than personal gain? Or are you just going to believe I'm some pervert who sleeps with every pretty cat he see's." He turned and looked back to her, both hands behind his back as he watched her.
"I never said that you experimented on me just for personal gain. I knew that I had one other purpose. But after what you did to me, being your lover, sex toy, creature of destruction. I couldn't live with all the pain I felt in my heart no thanks to your treason against me." Ivy growled.
Ivy then leaned back against the headboard of the bed, curling her legs up against her chest, wrapping her arms around her knees, closing her mind off, putting her face between her knees, and she started to cry at the thought's from her past.
Ivy then secretly reached for the black book that she kept in her jacket pocket and she tossed it to the end of the bed where Raziel had been standing by.
"Here, this is how I have been keeping track of you all these years, but the only real way for our bond to be broken, is if one or the both of us die. And since it seems that the both of us have jobs in this world, I can see us both staying around for several more centuries." Ivy said as she waited for Raziels reaction.

"Oh? Tell me Ivy, what purpose do you think that was? I am anxious to hear your take on this tale of love and betrayal." He moved silently across the floor of the small cottage, reaching out and picking up the book that she had tossed at the end of the bed.
He took a look at it, tempted to open it, but decided against it. Instead, he handed it back to her. "I don't need a book Ivy. I told you I wanted to talk, and that is all. As for the bond, I suppose it was a fools hope to expect Dracul to make something strong enough to break it."
He seemed to smile gently, "Though I am ashamed I didn't realize your connection with him sooner. That was quite a surprise my dear. Why did you never tell me? Were you ashamed? Or did you simply not know?"
He would have embraced her as he saw her crying, he wanted too, but the fear of being stabbed by her kept him at bay. Instead, he tried taking her mind off of it. "Shee, there is no need to cry now. It will do you little good."
He turned his back but for a moment before returning to gaze at her again. "Do you really believe you were no more than a sex toy? True, we did fool around alot, but I treasured each moment of that. Do you not understand that there are different dimentions of sex? Sex between two people deeply in love is the greatest experiance in the world. Sex between someone willing and someone unwilling is a horrible and often terrifying experiance that normally leaves the unwilling in a state of panic. Then there is also sex for the sake of having fun. Just a spur of the moment thing with no strings attached. There is also sex for pleasure, which is just what that feline was for. Come now Ivy you have to hand it to me, I didn't touch anyone after you. November tried, but I knew what she was up to, so I simply played along until I could get the upper hand. After not having sexual relief for over five hundred years, I was in desperate need of it. So I don't understand why you were so upset. It is quite funny since all you've wanted to do was kill me. Do you suppose that you are trying to hide your love from me?"
Raziel sat back down onto the bed, this time he was facing her fully, his legs crossed as he waited for her reply.
"As for your creature of destruction, all those abilities I gave you was to ensure that you would succeed. Or have you forgotten how weak and frail you where before you met me? I never told you that it would be easy. However, I saw you death many times while I slept. That's why I did what I did. I didn't want to loose you, and the only way to ensure that, was to make you stronger. Infact, you should be thanking me. Even if you are Dracul's daughter, you wouldn't have stood a chance against him, D, or November for that matter had I not given you those abilities. Right now you are strong, and you will become stronger as time progresses. If I had left you as you were, I'm sure someone would have already killed you. Fear for your life is what drove me to it."

Ivy sniffled as she rose her head up, her eyes as black as the night sky now. She looked Raziel dead in the eyes. Then Ivy jumped to her feet and behind Raziel, her knife in her hands and the blade laying against his neck.
"Don't preach to me what the meaning of love and sex is Raziel. What you did was a crime against nature and me. And I would have rather died fighting D, November, or my father. but being with you was a mistake that I wish I had never made. And my love for you left me that night. I would have never done that to you, whether I fooled around a lot or not. I cared about you, you just seemed to push me away as time went by, that's when I decided to leave you. And if you can give me something that I can use against Alucard that will make it harder for him to hurt me, let alone kill me then I might change my mind. But if you can't, be prepared to die with a knife, a sword, and gunshot wound in your chest." Ivy growled in his ear as she released him and leaned against the bookshelf behind her, and then calling for the black book.
Ivy then slid down the front of the bookcase, then she laid on her side and closed her eyes. She was still so tired from all the days she hadn't slept. She knew she needed it, but she didn't want to take any chances. She didn't trust Raziel anymore, she couldn't trust him no matter what he did to her.

Raziel stayed still and let her vent, though her comment about them being a mistake made his eyebrow twitch. "A mistake? A mistake?! How can you consider that a mistake? I never once thought it was a mistake. I will say I've siad it, but only out of anger that was never ment! You cannot tell me that you've forgotten all the good times we spent together. The moonlit voyages to distant and strange continents? The strolls through the garden. The simple pleasure of the hunt together? I didn't think that you hated me so much, that you would turn fond memories into bad ones just to fuel your anger. You were the one that left. Didn't you ever wonder why I never came after you?!"
He stood up as she moved to the book shelf and walked over to her, grabbing her shoulders fiercly. "Didn't you ever wonder why I never put an end to your life? I let you survive when I knew it would one day be my undoing because I could not bare to think of bringing you physical harm! Even when you got out of hand, I know your limitations. Dracul asked about your weakness's and I played dumb for you! November did some damage to you, I could have left you there to die, but instead I picked you up and brought you here. Tell me Ivy why do you think that is? Do you honestly still think I have some alterior motive? Why do you still hide what I know is still there? Why are you being so stubborn with me Ivy?"
She'd kill him for what he was to do next, but if he was going to die, he wanted to atleast taste her once more. He pulled her up into a warm embrace and grabbed her chin, lifting her head up and placing a soft kiss on her lips. He held it there for a few moments before finally releasing her.
"Always so stubborn, god you don't know how that aggrivates me." In truth, her fire always turned him on, and knowing he couldn't touch her just put him in a foul mood. But he wasn't the type to take a woman against her will. He turned and moved down the stairs.
"Get some rest, you need it. When you wake up, we'll talk again and I may or may not tell you what I know. It all depends on you."

"Gina.." D aid the name it ringing the faintest of bells, it was on the tip of his tongue but there was something inside him blocking his memories. The minute he gasped onto her name and felt that he might know it, he let out a strangled growl of pain and held his head as Gina helped him to his feet.
"Ill be alright, i just need to get out of this place i think. And i feel your the only one i can trust." D said softly, his cold demeanor had disappeared for now. Whatever his father had done to him he had done it good. It would be a wonder what the youth would be able to remember and if he would ever be able to gain it back.
_
"A spider?" Dracul said as he came over to November and stood just behind her. He smirked at her insight into him, she was a interesting one not many could nail him dead on after knowing him so little. "I guess you could say that, but as to which one i wouldnt know." Dracul said honestly as he followed Novembers gaze to the orchids.
"They do dont they?" He said to her comment on how the garden was kept so nicely. "Sometimes i hardly notice how this place looks let alone even remember all the rooms this castle holds and whats inside them." Dracul said honestly as he looked down at the girl for a moment.
"The nights almost over and ive had enough bloodshed for the evening." He said, not entirely wanting to reveal that he had come out here to chit chat. It had been so long since he had, had another in his castle it felt strange and yet already he was feeling the ache to fall back into old habits. Draculs eyes were focused on the beautiful fountain in the center of the garden, while his mind went in several different directions.
"How are your wounds?" Dracul asked November after a bit of silence, his eyes watching her.

Ivy closed her eyes when Raziel kissed her. When she kissed him, her frozen heart became warm again. But she couldn't get the chance to speak after Raziel had vented and ranted to her about their past.
As Raziel pulled away and started to walk down the stairs, she called out softly: "I always wondered why you didn't come after me. For years I asked myself why you didn't come after me and stop me from running." She said, standing up and going after Raziel.
Ivy pulled Raziel's arm towards her, making him stop in his tracks. Then she pulled him towards her, holding his arm against her chest.
"But since you didin't come after me, I figured that you didn't care. So that's what started my anger towards you. I'm sorry if I disappointed you or made you angry with me. If you still have feelings for me, then I'll see what I can do to respark your heart." Ivy said softly, as she let his arm go and walked down the stairs towards the little kitchen, pulling out a little silver vial and she set it on the table and starred at it for hours and hours on end.

Gina nodded at this, knwoing the way he said her name he was still not yet remembering, but she had a feeling that it wasnt because of Ivys attack to him. she felt it a bit odd that he had said her to be trusted, but she had told herself it was because he doesnt know her yet. she knew he would never say such a thing, but she kept it to herself as she helped hoisted him upward to a stand, and then looked around. "Your steed should be still waiting outside. we can get you to the small village where Nicholas is, and rest there, if anything...... Nicholas is a human boy our, group, had found in a village after ti was attacked by a vampire." she said, just letting him know about the small basics if anyhting. she then realized about how she had changed, and nicholas will be wondering what happened to her, and about how this would all end up...
but she shook it off, and placed an arm around Ds back to help balance.

"Hmn..I never understood why vampires need such large castles. Especially since most of them never have any company other then their prey. Doesn't seem to have much use if you ask me."
She turned her head around and stared up at the sky once more. The stars were beginning to fade away with the comming light. "Mortal wounds never bothered me too much. They may leave scars but they will heal in time."
She laid there for a few more moments before pushing herself up with her good arm into a sitting position. She'd have to go back and change her bandages soon.
She turned her gaze to the fountian just like him, thinking to herself. She shook her head from the silly thoughts and sighed. Was her reason for staying merely some sort of fascination? Or was there something else? So many conflicting emotions in such a short amount of time wasn't good and would end up just getting her into trouble. Not to mention thinking of all this gave her a headache. Perhaps it was merely the wolf in her that had made her more sensitive to these emotions. She never felt these before, so why here? Why now? Besides it wasn't as if it mattered.
She put her hand against her head and rubbed it lightly as she tried to banish all the thoughts from her mind. Instead she tried to think of something else to busy herself to draw her away from such nonsense. "Mn...D's still in the castle with Gina. I don't know the extent of your power, but I can probably guess that you sleep during the day. Do you really think it's wise to just let them roam around while you slumber?" She pulled her hand down and turned her blue eyes over to him, watching his movements with curiosity. But it wasn't just that, she was making a mental note of everything he did.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Raziel stoped and looked back to her. He moved back up the stairs and closer to her. He listened quietly to all she had said and shook his head. "No, that night you left, I thought perhaps if you had some air it would do you some good. I waited in denial for a week, before I figured out that you weren't comming back. You had no idea how much that drove me mad. I wanted to do so many horrible things, but I simply couldn't. I care for you too much to bring you back against your will. I knew that if you were going to come back, it had to be on your terms."
He brushed a few locks of hair from her face and gently stroked her cheek. "Make no mistake though, in that time you left, I had to deal with my own insanity. That's why I went around making more experiments. I wanted to have that fleeting hope that I could make another like you. However, that never panned out. Not even in the pup's state, and mind you, you and her could pass for twins. Both so stubborn and headstrong, but she isn't you. I appologize for not figuring that out until just recently."
He kissed her forehead gently and let her move down the stairs. He took a deep breath and knew the sun was rising. There was no window in the upstairs bedroom, but he could feel his limbs becomming like weights. He moved over to the bed and laid down, closing his eyes. He'd see if Ivy ment what she said, because now, he was at her complete and utter mercy.
