Dark Calling

[Darkness Song]

Lauren felt all their auras, their silent talks between minds. They entered hers and she hated it. One of them brushed through the unfaithful day. She pushed them out forcefully and sent a mental attack. It was blocked but it was still powerful enough to ripple in the air. She snarled. "Just leave me alone. I am not going to talk about Nefara." She pushed past them and walked to the bedrooms. She shut the door and blocked it with a chair. She looked at the window. It was barricaded by an iron gate. She was pissed off now. They didn't want her to leave. She grabbed the iron gate on the window and used her mind to blow it clean off. She laid down in her bed and drew her aura in locking it tight around her mind. She felt them trying to get in and she pushed them away violently. "Why can't they all just leave me to die..."

He smirked awtching Aleron call the other vampires. He smiled at how they would begin an onslaught. He smiled viciously and grabbed a limb and swung against the tree then used his feet to blast himself off and onto a roof. He stood there positioned perfectly to be a siloutte against the sky. His black trench-coat covering his muscular form. He let his aura out feeling the bodies beneath him sleeping. The simple humans sound asleep. He watched as Nefara looked up and saw him. He smiled and felt the cold air across his scalp. He felt his thirst, and he saw Nefara. A tasty meal. But that was beyond his grasp. The Lauren girl, she was just as good but still out of reach. He flitted off the roof and into town. To find a bar.

Dexter listened intently and clutched the knife harder. He wanted to be in there, but there was two of them. Only one of him.

The streets were empty. He looked around until he found a dark alleyway. A goth bar... Perfect... He walked down and entered the bar. Looking around at the lifeless party. The seven people who loathed life and the three that acted like they did. He was always fond of goths. They were always attracted to his kind. He walked around and found a seat next to several gothic girls. They smiled and he looked at each of them. Listening to their hearts to find a tasty one. They chatted with him and he spoke back using all the right words. Searching their minds to find out exactly how to lure them away. He talked to them. For no reason but to pass time.

[Cara]

"Aleron!" she said, but by the time Aleron had turned to see where Nefara had pointed, the man was gone. Aleron flitted to the roof, breathing in. He gave a low hiss, which chilled the air around him. He recognized the aura's print, but it had been years since he'd met it last, and he couldn't seem to remember...
He flitted back to Nefara. "Lets go, it should be an hour or so before they arrive..." he said, his eyes and mind searching, but the man was gone.

Nefara sat upon a tomb stone, her raven hair fluttering in the breeze. It was cold, but she hardly felt it. She closed her eyes, and spreading her mind out. She wanted to see what exactly she could do. Her confirmation with Lauren had shown her that she was capable of more than just having visions.
Eyes closed, she expanded her senses. It wasn't so much hearing as it was feeling. Yet, with all her concentration, she could only stretch so far. It hurt to push past some invisible wall. With a cry, she bent over, clutching her head.
"What is it?" Aleron asked, concerned.
"I can't..." Nefara whispered, angry at herself. "Something always blocks me. The same thing with my visions. It's usually this 'Thing' that ends them. It keeps everything in check."
Aleron came to stand in front of Nefara. "Relax..." he said. "I'm going to enter your mind... Your automatic response is to put up blocks, but you need to let me through... Trust me." Nefara nodded, as Aleron rested his hands over hers.

Aleron felt her relax, and her mind open up. He was amazed as he stepped in. He was overwhelmed by a sense of her aura, something that he noticed had become a lot darker and stronger. He let it envelop his own aura, his own dark aura attracted her's. He felt something else though, that was almost just as strong. As he pushed deeper to see it, he was suddenly expelled, Nefara giving a shout.
Aleron stood there, gasping, eyes wide. "Oh my god..." he said, his breath falling rapidly. Nefara looked shaken. Aleron shook his head, confused. "You're part Kriivida... That's not good."
"Why?"
"It'll keep blocking out your other abilities... As you said: keeping them in check."
Nefara looked up with an understanding. "Can you change that?"
Aleron pursed his lips... "Yes. We have to."

[Darkness Song]

He sniffed the air and sat next to the three girls. Talking lightly amoung the others who were there. The music light but dreadful. He looked at the three girls and smiled. They smiled back. And then the looked at the time and got up. He was alone... but he knew where they would all be... He got up and left. Entering each of the girls minds he drew them out of their parked car and into the alleyway to begin his work.

~Several minutes later~
The town filled with sirens. Loud and voicious and echoed everywhere. They echoed into the Campus, into the Graveyard, and into every nook and cranny. People began waking up. There was too much comotion... And they all began to dress and find out what was happening. In the center of town the police drew their line... At the center detectives gathered like moths around a light. Most still dressed in pajamas. It was a red-alert call from the goth bar. Two murders. Two greusome murders... The walls around the alley were covered in writing. From the third floor to the first floor of the two buildings. From one end to the other. The walls still dripped with blood. The inside was worse... The floor had two inches of blood in it. The bodies hung from the ceiling being held up by their own bones which dug deep into it. The blood was collected for the outside work. He had made sure of that. They analyzed everything. And talked to the one girl who was covered in blood when they arrived. Head to toe covered in scratches of words. The same that were on the walls but in smaller details. Each one would scar.

Lauren woke up to the sirens and looked out her window to see the gathering. She watched.

Dexter heard the sirens. He heard his phone go off as well. The two people inside snarled. He took out an LED Flashlight, shone it inside and sprinted off Making onto the road which was now conjested with traffic. He hid his tools in the bushes, and walked under the Police Lines. What he saw, almost made him faint. So... So much blood. And only two people... He did not even think it was possible. He walked into the bar and caught himself against a wall. It was... beautiful. But inhuman. Everything was broken and shattered. Several bodies were torn appart and then the limbs impaled into the other bodies which were still alive with their own limbs missing. A guy with Seven arms and three heads. One with four legs and a food as a head. So much violence... so little time. Dexter backed out of the bar and fell on the steps. The officers helped him away. He rested with the ten other officers and detectives that looked inside that room.

[Cara]

(ok, this was a little sudden XD lol)

Carden and Chris both made their way to the crime scene, lingering back in the shadows. Carden closed his eyes, inhaling. "Fresh blood... lots of it," he said, his eyes flashing. The scent was sweet in his nose. "Lets go," he said.
"What? But the police..." Chris said.
"They're just human. I'm going. You can wait if you choose."
"Fine. I'm coming too."

Carden walked right over the Police line. "Hold it there! All civilians back!" an officer called. Carden stopped, catching the man's gaze. "We are not civilians. Let us in to the scene and let no one bother us," he said, with a smile.
"Sorry to bother you," the man said, stepping away.
"Woah! How'd you do that?" Chris asked.
"Another lesson, I'll show you..." Carden said, stepping into the bar with purpose. The smell of the blood was almost overwhelming to him. He shook his head, to clear his senses. He felt Chris stiffen. "Don't touch anything..." Carden snarled. "And your teeth are showing. Don't let your hunger get the better of you, especially now..." Carden whispered harshly to Chris.
"Who did this?" Chris asked.
Carden closed his eyes. "Vampire... This was too much for any human. I can smell him too, whoever he was. Carden looked at the writings on the wall and gasped (um, yea, I kinda to need to know what it says... XP lol).

(oh and the graveyard that Nefara, Lauren, Aleron and the others is like a LONG ways off from the campus. Lets say like at least a 20, 30 minute car drive?)

[Darkness Song]

Its for the future of the RP. Brings everyone together too . And for the Graveyard give about 10 minutes before they see police patrols. Kindof ruins the moment for an onslaught of Kriivada.)
(For the wall. Its really really long. But I will try to write it all.)

[glow=red,2,300]Thy blood cleanses the world, in its immortal appearence it is thy hidden fate for mortality to consume thy lives. You will see thy fate, thy destine to thy life. It is thy Death. Thy deaths be colorful, provacative and known for life. Thy people who are slay beneath are thy tools of thy master's trade. I am thy artist, thy creator of thy lovely work. My work shall be known forever. Thy witness shall know of me, my face, my name. And thy world shall regret taking heed to mine word. Mine work, and Mine Destine. Thy Aleron, I am thine brother, Thine the same for centuries ever since thine left me to die. Mine destine now shows in thine blood. Thine resurrection as thine witness is found thine mental illness. She will not fine thine comfort in such. Dull pleasureful pain. Her pain will be brighter then blood. Happier then sunshine, and colder then mine darkness.
[/glow]
There was more... Written in a language of pure memory from the blood... Memories glued onto the blood, only to be seen when drank. The Officers collected these vials of blood that were scattered around the area. The inside was worse. All around the bar the words were written.
[glow=red,2,300]Vampires Arise, Breathren Betold. We shall claim this world. Nefara's Blood is thy key to the Sun.[/glow]
An officer sat next to the girl, staining his own uniform in blood. She threw her arms around him and clutched him. Her nails dug into his arm but at least the shirt was there to stop her from peircing his skin. She did not cry, her eyes still wide looking at the bodies. She began to speak though. "Aleron... I must see Aleron..." She repeated it out loud, a thousand times. Her eyes still locked onto the bodies. She looked like she was trying to say something else but that was the only words comming out of her mouth.

Lauren looked out the window. There was tension high in the air. She could feel several dark presences around the area too. She jumped out of her window and fell the two stories to the ground. She bent her knees and only slightly hurt herself. She got up and limped slightly and moved towards the scene.

Dexter sat on the steps. He sighed. What the hell is going on... He looked inside. He dawned on his white bio-suit and walked in. There was several people in there already. He looked around and dropped. Everything went black.

[Cara]

(ok, woah. BIG twist here... I think I get it, but you might have to correct me in your idea. I have an idea which can incorporate the "Kriivida onslaught". You might have to PM me, as I am still a slight bit confused )

"Christ..." Chis whispered, as he read the words. "Who the hell did this?"
Carden's face was pale and livid at the same time. His whole body radiated tension, fury and even fear. "He risks us all!" Carden hissed, his eyes stopping on one name: Aleron. Aleron did this? No, he'd never do this. This was even pushing it for Carden. Aleron was here though. His brother was here... Carden took out his phone and snapped a dozen pictures of the place. They'd have to leave. It was too dangerous here. This murder scene would be a Kriivida magnet and his face was easily recognized.
"Lets get out of here..." Carden said, as they slipped through the crowd and disappeared into the night.

Aleron and Nefara drove back to the campus to meet up with the others. Aleron pulled over, as red and blue sirens blared past them.
"What's going on at the school?" Nefara asked.
"Lets find out..." Aleron said.
Nefara maneuvered her way through the crowds. As soon as Aleron got out of the car, he grabbed Nefara's arm. "Wait..." he said, his dark eyes searching. The hair on the back of his neck stood on end. "I don't like this. Stick close..." he said, taking her hand. Nefara looked around, confused and frightened. "Wait, what's going on? Aleron! What about the others--""
"Shhh! We'll deal with them now. Just please stay quiet. I need to get a closer look... But this isn't good, I can tell already."

[Galadas]

Chris followed again, without questions, but they were not so very important, only one. "Carden, Aleron is your brother, right? What does that mean for us?" He asked, finally having all the courage he needed to ask.

"Ce, wake up!" A voice conquered Cecelia's dream, and when she opened her eyes she only saw Sam's disastrous disturbed face. It made her totally awake, and Sam had to move backwards not being hit by her fast sitting up.
"Scar!" She cried, recognizing the gaze in Sam's face.
"Calm down, Ce." Sam said, pushing her back. "I'm here to give you the bad news." He sighed. "She's turning, bit by bit, only she's die if she continues. She wears the ring, and it will kill her. There's only one solution for us, we have to kill her."
Cecelia shook her head, she couldn't believe it.
"Trust me, there's no other way."
"No, you can't kill her! She's my friend." Cecelia cried, she was left alone, Sam had decided.

Cecelia got up, dressed, she had a plan. She knew where they brought Scarlet, and she would save her. She ran down the hall, her sword in her hand. She had worked with Vampires before, this time she would protect one. She would give Scarlet to Robert, a vampire that had worked with the Kriivada years ago, he would train her, make sure she would never drink human blood. And as Scarlet was save Cecelia would kill the Vampire that did that to her, she had a smell, one that she wouldn't forget very soon.
"Scar!" Cecelia yelled when she saw her friend being held by two Kriivada. "No stop!"
But she was too late, Zachary was standing there, and he killed her best friend, without remorse. No little feeling, nothing. She felt like her life was over, she was too late, it shouldn't have happened at all, it was her own fault.

[Cara]

Carden froze, not turning to face Chris. He shouldn't have told him Aleron's name.
Chris saw the tension in Carden's body. Finally Carden sighed, turning to face Chris. Chris almost stepped back. The look in Carden's eyes was both tortured, confused and angry. He never thought someone could ever look that way. "I don't know what it means for us... Not entirely. But we must be wary... Aleron is here. How he's all caught up in this sh*t, I don't know. But I will find out."

Nefara stood there, as Aleron changed into a crow, so he could get closer. Flying in through the window, he landed.
"Shoo!" an officer said, swatting at Aleron away. Aleron let out a caw, landing on a shelf. "Aw, whatever... stupid bird..." the man said, turning away.
Aleron, even in his crow form, could smell the blood. He felt himself shiver as he read the message. It made him turn cold. Aleron quickly flew out the window. He had to get Nefara away and fast...

[Darkness Song]

Dexter wobbled a bit and walked away. It was too much. He got out of the suit. He looked up seeing the crow. He began to run.

He watched over Nefara. He sensed Aleron comming close. Looking back to his work he fed his message into all their minds allowing the girl covered in blood, Jessica, to move away and run after him. It was bait. The stentch of her nearly perfect blood should drive him crazy. He sat up and pushed the bell back and forth hearing the Church Bell ring in the air. He watched the crow as it flew. As it looked at him. He smiled.

Dexter ran after the crow trying to keep an eye on it but when he hit the trees. He lost it... He sighed and turned around seeing a girl covered in blood running. He stopped her and held her. She kept screaming and hollering "Aleron!" Desxter froze and she pushed him aside. He felt a chill down his spine.

[Cara]

(what's the real deal? Is Aleron and Carden supposed to know who this new vampire guy is? And are they supposed to understand the writing on the wall? I'm a little lost with that part... Just PM me. Who's Jessica anyway?)

Aleron dropped down from the air. "We have to go. NOW!" he snapped.
"What? What did you see? Tell me!" Nefara said.
"ALERON!" a girl's voice called from the trees.
"Who's that?" Nefara demanded.
"Just come with me... Please."
"Is it the Kriivida?" Nefara asked, a chill going through her. Aleron just shook his head. Nefara felt something snap at her aura. She struck back, but it was gone. She felt confused as well. "The sun should be up soon..." She said.
"That's what I'm afraid of."
"Why? It won't kill you."
"No, but I'll be the only one who can walk in daylight. There's more to my world than you understand. I haven't told you everything. There's a council, just as there is for the Kriivida. It's... complicated. I'll explain later. Right now, we have to run."

[Galadas]

Chris grinned. Time for some action, he guessed. "So, we're going after him?" He asked. "Find your brother, I mean?" He couldn't help that he was excited for such things, now he felt like a new thing he knew he could survive a lot, not all, but enough. And any new experience could still retrieve his memories.

Cecelia was sitting on Scarlet's bed, crying, while remembering the good times she had with her best friend. She and Scar, they had been best friends for years, ever since she moved here, and they were the best. Now that was all over, because Scarlet was dead, killed by Zachary. No, not by Zachary, by that Vampire. And she should've been there for her when the thing attacked, it was her fault.
She took out a photo album and Scar's ipod touch, putting on a song that always made her happy, one that Scar had made her listen to like more than an hundred times. All For You from The Secret Handshake, the lyrics were all they needed to feel better, to dance around and make fun like little school girls.
She sighed, the aura of the Vampire was still dancing around her. She would find it, and kill it. Her sword resting on her lap. She just needed some more time to accept Scarlet's dead.

[Cara]

Carden just stared through the trees at the blue and red flashing lights. He had come to America to find his brother decades ago. Now that he was so close to finding him, he was hesitant. How would Aleron react? Was he still the brother Carden remembered him to be? The last time they'd met, they'd almost killed each other. He had stopped looking really over twenty years back.
"No, Chris. I don't think I want to find my brother..." Carden said. "And I don't think he wants to find me either," Carden said, as he started to walk.

[Galadas]

"How else are you going to find out what is happening, you just said that you wanted to know why your brother is cut up in all of this." Chris said confused, not understanding Carden's feelings. The only thing that the Vampire had explained to him was that Aleron had left, and he was in favor of humans. But nothing else, or it was something hidden and Chris hadn't listened. It was not that Carden's life didn't interest him, he was just still so caught up in trying to figure out himself. Maybe if he knew he could mean more for Carden, maybe then he didn't need training, everything would go easy. That was at least what he hoped.

[Cara]

Carden didn't feel like talking about it. About anything right now. Turing suddenly on Chris, Carden said "If Aleron is caught up in this sh*t then fine. Let him. I'm not going to let a brother who I haven't seen in over two centuries, who is practically a stranger to me, drag me down! I have a good idea what we're messing with... It won't be good if we're tangled up in it too."
Chris looked away from Carden's cold gaze. "What if we're already caught up in this and we don't even know it yet?"
Carden spat at the ground. "Then we are, and we're not going to go down without a fight."


Aleron swept Nefara up into his arms and flitted off. Nefara held tight to Aleron, as trees flew by. "Aleron..." Nefara said, as a vision flashed in front of her eyes. "Carden is here..." Aleron stopped dead in his tracks.
"WHAT!"
"I just saw him in vision... He's here with another vampire..."
Aleron swore. "Great, just great..." he sighed, dragging his hand through his dark hair. "It think is far enough...."
"Tell me what is going on! I keep having visions of blood, murder... there's so many different outcomes that are possible! I've never had so many visions like this before... It hurts. It's confusing..."
"Nefara, I'm not sure what's going on myself. Why don't you explain some of your visions? That might help."
Nefara nodded. She tried to concentrate through her pounding headache. It was almost too much to bear though.

[Darkness Song]

He watched Aleron pick Nefara up. His messanger too late... He sighed and shifted. He stretched out leaning back stretching his front paws, and extending his claws. He shifted back and stretched his jaw. He leapt off the church and into a tree slowly climbing along the limbs using the fresh scent to move through the trees after them. Getting used to the body again he began to run through the trees pouncing from limb to limb. He sped up but the limbs of the trees thinned and he decided to leap down to the ground and move along. He sped up his progress and saw Aleron stop short. He slowed down and began to circle to disguise his scent.
"Someone is here..." he set Nefara down and looked around. He felt Aleron's powerful aura. He smiled allowing his own to brush against his.
Hello, Aleron.
He saw Aleron turn towards him. He shifted back and brushed the dirt from his hands walking into the small clearing. He was slightly taller then Aleron, a bit more physic and tone, but his skin was darker, much more blue. From the blood he had drank just an hour ago. He still had on his face and hands. He reaked of fresh blood. "Suprise..."
Aleron stared blankly at him. "And who the hell are you?"
He sneered in disgust. "All the time I spent finding a way, to change into what you are. The thirty years it damn near took to get me to be like you, fast, quick, intelligent... But I am stronger. And the hundreds of years it took me to find you, and everything I did to make it show that I wanted to see you and you still have no idea who I am!" He slammed his fist into the tree splitting the wood. The night sky began to brighten.
He saw Nefara flinch.
"You remember, those many years ago, when I was weak and young. When you killed my family... Oh They said it was a murderer, but I was only a kid, it made no sense to have holes in their necks. That is until I met a very special girl. I seduced her and made her turn me. Eternal love. Then she woke up with a knife in her. Everyone who once knew me died the next week. Their blood was magnificent..." He shook his head. "Do you remember now?"
Aleron, his eyes dark sighed. "Keneth... you misunderstand..."
"No, I don't think I do at all... You killed her. When she was about to die, when she knew what you really were... Was that when she thought of me. And you had no care for the love she had for me. For what she did with so many men just so I could eat. Do you know how hard it is to sustain my brothers when all you are twelve? I did things that I never should have done. Unimaginable things. And all you cared about was her blood."
He raised his hand. He wanted so much to kill him. But with Nefara there he felt her mind ready to strike. He would have to get her blood to do anything, to be just as strong as him. He looked to the sky. It was about 4 am. The sun rose a bit early this time. He looked back seeing Aleron about to strike. He knew that he had just minutes to get away. The sun would be at is hideout soon.
Aleron leapt at him. He took the attack broadside and grabbed him by the arm tossing him against a tree. He saw Aleron slump and then slowly rise back up, hissing. Keneth shifted into his small pantherous form and dashed off. If Aleron left Nefara alone he could circle back around, but he doubted that would happen. As he began to ran he was hit broadside again--mentally. This time it was Nefara. She was strong, for a human. He was able to force her out before Aleron joined the mental attack. He still had the blood from the murders running strong through him. He ran off towards the campus, towards the one tree in which he hid.
