"Curses!" Sorin hissed in a melodramatic fashion as he spun away from the jab. "But you shall not defeat me! I am too quick," to illustrate he made a few jerky jabs with his blade. "And you are too slow..."
Korai shook his head, "Give it a rest you two. We all know that if either of you ever met a real vampire you'd be running for the hills, at least you would if you had any sense at all."

Irvine tilted his head. "Why though? A few of our males lifemates are vampires or of vampire descent and they haven't ran for the hills." Even half paying attention, he deflected his brother's 'jabs.'
Mirage was quiet with the talk of vampires.

"I mean the real ones," Korai clarified. "The ones that were like us but chose the dark side." Their father had told them stories of such men, those who had chosen to give up their very souls in pursuit of that with they had lost, the ability to feel. Korai couldn't imagine what it would be like, to lose his emotions, to lose the colors that swirled around him, and instead be left in a gray and empty world. Even worse that the thought of such a fate happening to him, was the thought of such force overshadowing his brother within whom the Carpathian blood of their father ran stronger.
"Pfft, come on, Korai, those don't exist around here," Sorin said rolling his eyes. "And if there were Dad, or Uncle Dracon, or even Dimitri would take care of them."

"Except we are the next generation. We will be counted on to help out with such things, Sorin." piped up Arron who took such things seriously, even if he wasn't as great at them as his brothers were.
Irvine gave a wry look. "They're always like that though. It won't ever change."
"But they do exist...They may not be around here with so many hunters in the land but they still exist." Mirage murmured. Listening to the briefness of Korai's words, they described her mother...except her mother was female not male.

"Exactly," Korai stated giving the girl an appreciative look for supporting his side, something his brothers rarely did. "So we have to prepare and..."
"Always scan," Sorin mimicked in perfect imitation of Korai.

"If you don't you'll be caught off guard and probably dead." Mirage warned, baring a similar attitude to Korai...yet even she was too gentle....
Irvine rolled his eyes. "Apparently we're fine. They haven't come around for awhile." He tossed a sword around, even bringing forth a second.
"That doesn't mean they can't be planning anything..."

"Aw come on," Sorin muttered. "What type of stupid vamp would be planning anything, not with three hunters around. Not to mention the fearsome foursome," he added with a lopsided grin.
"The fearsome foursome?" Korai repeated dryly.
"Yeah, that's the name I made up for us because there's four of us and we're fearsome!"

"You have a long way to go before you're fearsome." She joked, cracking a teasing smile, even though she was serious.

Korai smiled, he couldn't have said it better himself.
"What?" Sorin exchanged a shocked hurt look with his brother. "What is she talking about?"

Mirage smiled and started to circle the young male, moving in a rather sultry way. "I'd love to see your expression as you come up against an old vampire who's fangs drip with venom, claws filled with blackened dirt....The look in their eyes filled with hatred just for who you are..."

"I could totally take him," Sorin smirked a the girl. "Pull that creep's liver right out and fry it on the spot. Vamp a la extra crispy."
Korai suddenly felt himself overwhelmed with an anger, no a black rage, that he couldn't understand. His every savage instinct demanded that he strike down the male... But it's Sorin! he reasoned within his own mind. Not an enemy, your brother. He blinked as reason slowly rose above the rage, quickly leaving his state of fury to analysis it. What just happened to me?

"And that's what'll get you killed, Sorin. You're proud state of mind. And it's the heart you, dolt, not the liver that you fry on the spot." Arron wrinkled his nose. Was Sorin ever going to learn?
Irvine shifted his gaze to Korai. Something took place here and something Sorin and Arron were oblivious too. The same time it was gone. He blinked...
Mirage shook her head. "You're naive..."

"That's way she said," Sorin responded without missing a beat. "Hey look, it works!"
Korai groaned in disgust. "Sorin..."

Irvine blinked again and looked to Sorin and grinned. He knelt down and literally launched himself into the air, bracing himself for an arial attack on his brother.
Arron watched Irvine with an awed expression.
Mirage blinked, not impressed. They were so young in so many ways...

Sorin ducked at the last second. "HA!" he laughed as Irvine sailed over him. "Told you you were too slow!"
