Demetrius wasn't convinced with Valentine's response but it would have to do. He listen to Anne-Drew's response "it is only because people give it cause for it to take effect, I was talking about your smile but you are no doubt correct my dearest, the smirk was also from the sent growing close as for being a good cain you'd make a better bride" he held out both arms letting her know he could carry her.
Demetrius chuckled at Dakotas cold reply "my mistake" she caught up to Dakota and petted his hair "I'll take the lead now" her lend over and whispered "I can see though your anger now, it is very unbecoming of you, we wouldn't want you to lose your charm now would we" he grinned and passed him taking the left path "this way men" he made a point of not saying boy and continued sniffing out the way.
OOC: I couldn't help myself. Drama is okay in an RP though because it's directed and we discus it.

Anne-Drew's face now was the one that was becoming red and Demetrius response rendered her tongue tied. Could one blame her? What was there to say? She had to withdraw herself from Demetrius mind for a moment. Some things were best kept private. All she could reply was, "...No comment. Though my fatigue wouldn't allow me to turn down or deny such a nice offer of being carried I know it would tire you. You need to keep your strength. I'm fine." She walked at a slower pace than him but was able to just merge left and for the most part keep up.
Valentine ignored the sound of the noses breaking on the guards, though it wasn't pleasant. Val had learned to hide the fact that he didn't like the sound of bones breaking. It was heard often around their little clan, so he'd have to get over it anyways. The screaming he could just tune out, but breaking bones just irked him. Dakota seemed to be very on-edge with Demetrius. Val was going to ask him if he was alright, but decided against it. It would probably just result in Dakota clinging to him even more than he was earlier. The cuddling seemed to stop, and he didn't want to remind Dakota about it. So all he did was give Dakota a slightly confused look and continued on, letting Demetrius lead the way. He glanced back at Anne-Drew for a moment to make sure she was keeping up, and noticed her face visibly red. Apparently her and Demetrius were talking back there the entire time, Valentine didn't even want to know what about. He then turned around and continued walking forward.
Dakota could help but crack a grin at the feeling of Demetrius petting his hair. As much as he hated that man, it felt good. Plus, he wouldn't want to ruin their arrangements so he avoided getting angry with him at all costs. "No, you're right. That would be horrible. Although, need I remind you that you shouldn't overuse your charming tactics--you could wear it out very easily." He whispered back before letting Demetrius pass.
It only took seconds for Dakota to notice Val's confused expression. He moved over towards the human embodiment of perfection named Valentine and whispered into his ear. "It's a very long story--I can tell you later." Despite his promise to Demetrius to not say anything. He was normally a man of his word but this was some seriously juicy gossip material that he could not refuse. As he whispered to him Dakota reached for his hand and held it with a grip light enough to allow Valentine to pul his hand away put firm enough to let him know that he did not want him to let go. Of course he had not forgotten about his Valentine, how could he? That just happened to not be the biggest thing on his mind right now, that's all. He was focused on their mission.
All the while, Kasper quietly crept down the stairs from the Manor, emerging from his shadow. He was hoping that Will, Isabelle, and Alissa were behind him. He could feel the energy radiating from the shard all the way over here, as it was just across the room. "Look's like we beat them to the punch--I say we stand guard and wait for them to arrive." He said quietly to the others.
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆ (Alright, guys. Let's get this show on the road. I'm just gonna throw Kasper down here. Oh! And, for the sake of convenience, let's say that the Balanis Shard is super duper close to the entranceway of O'Bryley Manor so the students can get there faster and fend off the clan from stealing it.)

Okay, so I know that you said you were super duper busy but I have no idea if you wanted Duresa to come down here with Kasper or not. So I'm just gonna quote you in case you were, I hope that's okay. No need to rush to post, take your time! I remember you saying that you were really busy. ^^
Demetrius nodded "the offer stands my dearest if you are to ever change your mind." He chuckled at Dakota's comment and simply state with a dark grin "that's a lovely smile your wearing Dakota, allot more influence that that pout of yours" he walked another few feet and the smell made him lick his canine teeth as well as gag neither of which he liked to display but the explosive/gun powder and blood smell was too great for him to keep is composer.
Demetrius pointed up ahead "one hundred-fifty meters ahead get ready" he said his voice sounded slightly strained. "I have a feeling their going to be greater foes than before."
Isabelle soon found Kasper and her light footing made it easy to follow unheard. She nodded and looked for Will "come on Will" in the slight time that they were alone she fixed Kasper's hair that had fallen into his face blushing deeply "be safe."
OOC: Was at the Animethon all weekend guys sorry.

For a moment Anne felt eyes on her, but before she could really get attuned to her surrounding whoever was responsible turned back around. "I'll remember that Demetrius. One hundred fifty you say..." Anne-Drew muttered the her shadow slowly made its way forward. When it returned to her holding up three fingers then it seemed to make slashing motion at her throat. That let her know of one thing Alissa was a guard up ahead. She certainly was in a different league than the guards. Anne wondered how powerful her sister was. She'd certainly not seen her in awhile. For a moment Anne froze in her tracks pondering how to best her sister. "Well Demetrius I can't say I disagree with you. I sense three individuals and they must be the calvary. More are probably coming...Are you alright?" She asked noting the strain in his voice.
Alissa was shaking every step of the way down. She should've stayed upstairs, but it was certainly too late to turn around now. The shard better be worth it. That's all she had to say about it really.
Valentine nodded at Dakota. A very long story? How much could they have done while they were separated? ...Well, probably accomplished more than Valentine and Anne had. "Uh, sure." He said, continuing to follow behind. He wondered how Demetrius knew exactly where they were, but dismissed the thought almost immediately. Demetrius was a vampire or something, right? So his senses were probably heightened or something. Val also noticed the strain in his voice. "Hey, don't push yourself too hard, you'll need your strength if they're any trouble." He said. If they were down a man it'd be more difficult. 'Though, I imagine Madame Vandel will want to spend some time with that kid from earlier, if he isn't already dead. And if he is then she'll definitely want some time with the mistresses...' He thought as he walked, wondering what was going on back with the other group.
OOC: last couple of lines might not make sense, sorry, ignore them if they don't lol.

Dakota Faux ☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆
Dakota scoffed, simply to put on a show for the other two. But in truth, he took it as a compliment and was still grinning. As he heard Demetrius' voice strain, he couldn't help but worry. "Be careful, Demetri." He warned, slightly worried that he would push himself too much. As they kept walking, he saw no sign of guards or anything else. But he trusted that the other two were right. He would just have to find out who these people were. They couldn't have been too powerful, they were all weaklings here anyhow!
Meanwhile, Kasper smiled when he saw Isabelle follow behind him. When she pushed some of the hair out of his face, he smiled back at her. The blush that adorned her cheeks made him smile even more than he already was. Oh, how he loved the look of a blush on a lady's cheeks. "I will, love. As long as you promise to do the same, I will." He replied as they waited from Will and Alissa. He was hoping that Duresa was coming as well and if now, he sincerely wished that she was safe.
Demetrius breathing became heavier as he continued onward, it wasn't that he was hurt but the smells seemed to throw him off a bit; not enough to miscalculate the distance of head the wrong way but to give him a headache like feeling. "I well be fine it's those two smells; one I crave, one I despise and both are strong at the moment" he snarled a bit as the urges were starting to take control and put more distance between him and the group to focused on concentrating to even notice Dakota shortening his name.
Isabelle went a deeper scarlet when he called her love "I promise you I well" she wished she could do more; the internal struggle showed on her face as she softly bit her lip but now was not the time and her confidence was wavering.

Anne said nothing more as she willed her body to keep moving. Normally a snarling Demetrius and a worried Dakota would jar her, but her mind was elsewhere. She was in strategic mode. "One Mississippi, two Mississippi..." Anne-Drew muttered as she tried to keep a level head. How many would come? How skilled were they? Did they bring weapons? Were they long or close range fighters? Alissa she could plan from the others not so much. Her shadow could sense they were there not how skilled they were. Anne's shadow stayed close in case she needed to defend herself quickly. She quickly kept placing one foot at the moment trying to minimize the distance between her and the group. Demetrius had kicked it into overdrive. She didn't mind. Anne was tired if the endless basement. She'd almost lost her head for a shard. A small shard that may or may not even work. Needless to say Anne wasn't a happy camper. But facing Madame V empty handed wasn't an option.
"...Well I really hate to interrupt such a sweet moment, but what is the game plan?" Alissa asked a bit forcefully, but she was still shaking with fear. Her pale skin could now pass as translucent. With her white hair she could've been the ghost of Le Carnaval de L'étrange student past.
Dakota, still concerned for Demetrius, watched as his walking pace sped up. Bloodlust, it must have been. He was hungry for their blood. In Dakota's mind, this was a good thing. It meant that he was pumped up for the fight and would not hesitate to kill. It meant that they had more of a chance at winning, not that he wasn't positive that they'd win, anyway. He was sure that they would beat these weaklings.
Kasper merely chuckled as Isabelle's face turned bright red. Then he turned to Alissa as she approached and asked that what their strategy was. He remained silent for a moment. "For now, we stay and fight. If worse come to worst, one of us will take the shard and flee. If we can't flee, then we destroy it." He said, taking out his pocket knife. "I will apologize to you two in advance for anything you might see that could be perceived as disturbing. I'll admit that I'm not a sane man." He added, warning the two of them. He was aware of how he fought and knew that he could snap at any given moment.
Footsteps could be heard now and soon enough here they were. Face to face. Dakota scoffed. "This shouldn't take long." He teased, noticing the weapons they held. Kasper rolled his eyes at the cocky blond. "You're right, it shouldn't. You lot will be a piece of cake to beat." He said as his shadow slowly crept across the floor to the blond. "Now, before we start, do you mind stating your business here and what you plan to do with this Shard?"
☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆★☆ (So, a slight change in plans. I have no idea if Dumpling is coming since she said that she's been really busy lately and might not be able to post for a while. And Hampters has pulled Will out of the event since she's really busy too since school just started for her. So it's three against four now since we're down two unless Dumpling comes up. )
Valentine wondered in the back of his mind what the two smells were that Demetrius craved and despised. One was probably blood (or Anne), and the other he had no idea. He pushed the thoughts away after a little bit, realizing that meant that there were people coming up. There would be a fight. 'This should be fun.' He thought to himself, moving slightly faster to keep up with the group. The people in front of them were students, still not the greatest at using their powers. But then again, neither was he. Hopefully they would be evenly matched, if not the Clan a little worse.
(( Well, Val's somewhat weak, fighting wise. None of his magic-based attacks actually do damage, the one just shields and the other can stun and whatnot. So I can have him mainly stay out of fighting, just helping his allies, if you wanted to try and make it more fair? [I mean, technically we want the school to win, lol] ))
Demetrius was now face to face with the other group as the others joined him he had trouble focusing not once with the smells but now he saw a girl who looked almost identical to Anne-Drew but this once liked kinder like they were opposites "dearest are my senses more diluted than I thought; this girl looks just like you" he couldn't help but close the distance between him and Anne-Drew, even their sent were similar which made things slightly more hazy but he knew he must stay focused and when Dakota got cocky he said in a diplomatic voice echoing the words back to him "we must keep our heads about us."
Isabelle nodded at Kasper's plan "it is something we must endure I only hope I can be of some help." She readied the dagger as uneasiness set in her heart.
Isabelle seemed to calm down at Kasper's confidence, she felt like she was the least papered of the group.
Demetrius chuckled as heard the feminine man ask such a foolish question his grin twisted and instincts tingled "all you need to know is what you need to do and we know what we must do and that only one of us well achieve our goals."
OOC: Val's tired, Demetrius senses are working against him and Anne-Drew is badly injured I think it's somewhat fair.

"Kasper I mean this in the nicest way possible. We share a dorm. I already knew you weren't sane. But you wouldn't be you otherwise. Do what you must because I assure you I will. There is no need to apologize." Alissa told him and slowly her shaking stopped. The shy girl seemed to fade away. Why show fear before the first blow was exchanged? She didn't have to wear her fear. If Alissa knew anything it was the weak link was always the first to go. As she steadied herself she saw the enemy. The first one she noticed was the blond. The shortest of the group yet the cockiest. Then she noticed the boy in the hoodie. He certainly was quiet, but Alissa knew he wasn't just standing idle. Then came the tallest of the boys. Alissa didn't know what to think of him. His twisted grin just rubbed her the wrong way. Last but not least was her older sister Anne. She looked like she'd been through hell. It didn't take a rocket scientist to figure out she'd been injured. Alissa knew the more pain Anne was in the more tired she'd get and the less of a threat she would pose. So she simply took out her kunai and stared dead at her sister. This time Anne wouldn't get her way.
Anne sighed at Demetrius' assessment. She replied, "No your senses are as sharp as ever Demetrius. The girl is Alissa and she is my younger sister.""Don't let the term sister fool you. We are nothing alike." Alissa interrupted and Anne rolled her eyes. "Well I can't say she's wrong. Unlike her I'd never run from a good fight.""At least I don't have to hide behind my boyfriend dearest.""Wow Aly I've never heard so much out of you before. It must be my lucky day." Anne replied with a smirk across her face as she saw her sister cringe. Her shadow simply took form beside her. Unlike Anne it now resembled a snarling wolf. But Anne knew she couldn't keep up this form of her shadow for very long.
Kasper smiled at Alissa's response. Well, he was glad that she wasn't freaked out by him, many people were at least cautious around him.
Dakota rolled his eyes. "Keep our heads about us? Do you not see how weak these three look? For heaven's sake, two of them are trembling and the other looks like he came right out of Alice In Wonderland! They look absurd. If you're suggesting we show respect, that's absolutely ridiculous. Strike fear into their hearts, I say! The more you taunt, the more flustered these pests will be. The more flustered, the less clear their heads will be and the easier it will be to fight them." He continued. The Mad-Hatter guy seemed angry now with his fists clenched and teeth gritting. Kasper ignored the blond's comment. It wasn't worth the effort to respond to this egotistical twit.
When the vampiric male chuckled with a wicked grin, he raised an eyebrow. "You think yourself funny, don't you? Or are you just plain mad? Given that smile of yours, I'll assume it's the latter." He replied to the man. He looked to the girl who was apparently Alissa's older sister. Interesting connections here... Well, not that it mattered.
Dakota, growing impatient with all of this talking and nothing getting done, threw a ball of light at the male in the hat. Kasper merely parried it with his shadow and sent it another direction and it hit the corner of the room, creating a small flash bomb like explosion in the process. "Oh my... It seems we've got a shadow user, my friends. What an interesting coincidence~ We happen to be a clan of shadow users and light users! It seems you've met your match, sir!" Dakota said with a delighted spin on his heels and a twisted grin. Kasper merely looked at him with a skeptically raised eyebrow. What on earth was the matter with this boy? He seemed less sane than Kasper himself, which was saying a lot. It was very hard to get as nuts as Kasper. "I don't care what clan you thieves belong to or what your clan does. All I know is that you must be stopped." Kasper snapped back. Dakota merely chuckled at the hat-man's reply. "You're funny~! Oh, you make me want to pinch your cheeks! You look absolutely ADORABLE when you're angry, you know~!" Dakota teased. Kasper? Adorable? Please, he was not. He refused to think he was "adorable".
Kasper's shadow approached the blond's ankles and flipped him upside down. Dakota crossed his arms as he hung upside down and held by his ankles, unfazed by this. "Is this supposed to make me fear you? Because Demetrius has done worse things to me and I still don't fear him." "No, it's supposed to make you shut your trap but seeing that you're still blabbering, it's not working." Kasper sighed. "I'm tired of hearing your childish jibber-jabber." He added as the shadow that held him by the ankles tossed him backwards. However, he managed to throw him onto to one of the members of the clan. Dakota flew backwards. He tried to land so that he could catch himself and land on his feet or something but it was nearly impossible. When he made impact with the ground, it was... soft... And warm... and wearing a hoodie. His face turned bright read in both annoyance with this hat-guy and embarrassment for landing on Valentine. Dakota stood up immediately and turned around, sending another light ball and a glare in that man's direction, before looking at Valentine and offering his hand to help him up. "Need help? Didn't mean to land on you, I swear." His cheeks were still rosy from blushing.
•Where am I?: Basement ••With whom?: Alissa, Isabelle, and some thieves •••Out.Of.Cards.: Lol, true. Alright, that works. I just sort of figured since the school is down quite a few people that it would make things just a tad harder for the school since we've got a puppet, a trapeze artist, and a crazy puppeteer down here with the clan. xD Lol, I guess it's a little more fair since we've got someone injured and two others who are a little worn out. That didn't come to my mind for some reason.
Wow that got really long. ^^" Edit: Sorry for the extra notifications. Just fixing up something that could potentially be confusing. sweatdrop
