Sicily smiled as she was carried off, dropping the weapon as she was too weakened to bother with it. "just down the road, the black mansion is hard to miss. They'll let you through the gates if you bring me."

She waited a bit, she wasn't tired and could still keep up conversation, just unable to really move the rest of her body, "We have a lot of extra room if you really intend to stay, but you'll have to take it up with Vyre."

She would tell him that the mansion was ruled by the Radek family, a family who were known opposers of the Royals, but until she herself was safe she wanted to keep quiet about that. not knowing this persons loyalties.

The gate at the mansion was wide open and no one stood on patrol of it, but it was quite obviously filled with vampires who would quickly notice any approachers.

"That a girl." It was nice that something was finally going my way. Following the woman's directions we came up to a very large mansion. "Whoa. Nice place." The front gates where wide open. Making my way to the front doors I felt like I had many eyes staring down at me. That same smell that was at Ms.Anya's house was here too. "Seems you have alot of.... family here huh?" Opening the front door I heard hissing. Many black cats came running outside. "And pets too." I entered in what I thought was a library. There was a nice couch there so I rested the woman on the couch. "That better?"

Sicily nodded thankfully. Now that she was relatively safe she decided to ask him, "so are you one of the Royals?"

While she was asking simple questions, a servant-really more of a slave- headed upstairs to alert Vyre she had returned. Vyre was still watching out the window and over the unconscious Anya, frowned. "Have him checked out, she sent out an alert earlier something might be wrong. He doesn't leave the grounds until we know who he is."

The servant nodded and walked out the door, he relayed the order to a nearby younger vampire who was quick to make his way to the room where Sicily had been brought. He eyed the stranger carefully, but in a pleasant manner. The Radek's were all paranoid vampires, but they were good hosts none the less. Soon food was brought for the guest as well by the servant, "So who might our sister's rescuer be?"

One of the house's bigger pets, a wolf, lazily wandered in and sat down near Sicily. The house consisted of cats and a few wolves chosen for their superstitious beliefs surrounding them. The basement/dungeon/catacombs were a very different atmosphere, but the guest likely wouldn't get in there so soon.

((Damn my timezone, I always miss like 50% of everything happening :/ luckily I´ll make it up somehow XD ))

Nick watched smiling as the vampire darted of with the girl. “Better him than them” he thought as he stepped back into the shadows and used on of his favourite ways of transport - Shadow meld. He disappeared in the darkness and reappeared outside of the house from the shadow casted by a street lamp. “You can´t hide from me” he said to himself as he looked in every direction to find out which way they went. Thanks to his powers and skill it was only a matter of time till Nick found his direction of travel. Smiling widely he again disappeared into the shadows. His technique had a small catch though, no shadow meant no appearing where he´d like and during the day it was even harder because dim shadows were as useless as no shadows but luckily for him this wasn´t the case. After some time of travelling Nick finally reached his destination.

A really majestic looking house. Nick stepped out from the shadow somewhere near the house and wondered where to go from this point. Should he go directly to the girl or d it some other way but soon he discovered his curiosity got the best of him so he decided to go straight to the source. He found the guards to be uninterested in him what probably meant his ally was here expecting him or this was a really bad trap. Either was Nick grinned and walked through the front gate. He made his way inside the house and his grin widened once inside. “Honey I´m home” Nick shouted smiling as he was inside. He needed to inform the others of his presence since he liked to be melodramatic about this stuff.

((Damn you and your timezone Blade! <.<))

I was shocked at the fact that Ms.Sicily had asked me the same question I've been asking to them. "Well... I..." I was Quickly interupted by one of their servants. "Rescuer? I'm no rescuer...." There was a suttle silence. Snapping out of the depression I turned to Ms.Sicily. "Where is Anya?" Quickly turning to the servant I said. "I got the feeling you know." I was getting ahead of myself. That might be a good thing in this case but I had to calm down. I wasn't a young little vampire anymore. By my age I'd be considered a young adult. Vampires age very diffrently and even the youngest ages for humans is old for vampires.

Calming down, I stepped back. Having my head down I said. "I'm sorry." Now that thats over with I went to one of the many book shelves a picked a book from it. Cirque De Freak: The Vampire Assistant. What the humans don't know is that this is a true story. I was about to start reading when I heard a voice yell "Honey I'm home!" I remebered the voice. "Shit." I said quietly.

The servant eyed the newcomer, "You've avoided mentioning whether you from the royals or not...and until then you will never reach the girl Master Vyre brought home. I don't recommend lying, you never know who's on what side."

Soon as Nick made his grand entrance most of the vampires nearby just eyed him curiously. Vyre would have come to greet him but he was making sure Anya was not lost to the crowd of vampires again, and letting her out of his sight might just cause that to happen.

Sicily, back on her couch, looked at the one who brought her here carefully, "While we're asking you questions, what is your name?"

~

Another of the houses vampires approached the one at the entry way who made a big show of appearing, "How can we help you sir?"

((OOC: damn it blade, cuz you used Richard as your avatar I keep picturing him when you did that "honey i'm home" bit...its a hilarious image.))

These people where hell bent on knowing who I really am. The game begins. "Well um... My name is John..." This is where it starts to get tricky. "I have no real ties to the Royal families but I did serve them for many years of my life... but I could really care less about them now. Thats all you really need to know now isn't it." Tossing the book on the coffee table I stood up. "Now if you don't mind I'd like to see my cousin now." I looked over at the servant and growled. "Where... is... Anya?" I was getting impatient for my answer. "If you won't take me to her I will only have two options." Staring down the servant I continued.

"I can turn this place upside down here until I find her, then you will have to explain to your Master why this is happening... or I can tie you to a pole and rip you limb from limb until you talk... your choice." I realized that what I'm doing might not be the brightest idea but I will not let some slave keep me from doing my job. Looking over my shoulder I remembered Ms.Sicily was here. Turning around to Ms.Sicily I lowered my head. "I'm deeply sorry Ms.Sicily... I'm just very worried about my cousin."

The servant was intimidated enough by the display, however the one downside to threatening someone like that in such a place was quite appearent quickly. The house's other vampires chuckled, Sicily ignored his threats though. One of the odder vampires, dressed in an all white suit with a blue tie, approached him. "If your cousin is the little girl, I'm sorry to tell you that you won't get to her so soon." pausing as if expecting a retaliatory remark before going on, "The master is watching over her personally and even an elder vampire could not stand alone against a whole house. So save your threats. If you wish to talk with her, I can arrange that though. But you won't be able to touch nor take her."

The servant had made his way off to go check on the other guest at this point to get out of the way, he valued his life enough to avoid potential vampire conflicts.

((I'm headin' off to bed so this will be my final post of the night.))

Laughter rang through out the mansion. Probably a bunch of third rate vampires. The vampire in white adressed me with much respect. Well at least as much respect you give to a less than cheery house guest. "Sir, I would like to arrange something of the sort." It was very late at night, or more of early morning. Laughter was still there, I was getting irradiated and made snark remark to Ms.Sicily. "You might want to teach some of these family members of yours some respect for there guests." I said it in a calm matter as I picked up the book I threw on the coffee table. Taking one of the cups the servant brought in I poured some tea from the tea kettle. Taking a sip of the tea I spoke to Ms.Sicily once more. "So now that you know a little more about me how about you tell me about you and your Master now? You two Royal's?" I took another sip of tea.

(Hopefully this is right i think you guys are in the library and im in the main room Blades outside so yeah just let me know if i mix anything up or missed anyone)

Anya moved her head around before she looked up, this wasn't her house.....sitting up her raven locks flew around her like a curtail of black lace before she started to panic, her necklace glowed before she calmed herself."Alright I just need to get out of here." She thought before getting up and looking around. Sighing she walked out the room and jumped when she heard someone coming, seeing a flight of steps fer feet pounded as she attempted to make a hasty exit when two servants stopped her asking where she was going.

"Home, now move!" She said firmly trying to get around them before one tried to restrain her, panicking Anya began to kick the other as the tried to keep her calm, her locket glowed and she blasted one not killing him just making him fly away from her. As the other seemed stunned she delivered a well placed kick to him and stomped on his foot to add insult to injury before she took off again screaming her head off, making a silent exit apparently didn't work but then again screaming wouldn't help either would it? She tripped and knocked over a table making a crash sound throughout the house

"Kidnappers! Ill have you shipped to prison for this!" She threatened getting back up and trying to find the best way out while wondering exactly how many vampires were in this place

The vampire in white stood there with a look of patience as he waited for the screaming in the background to stop. After some yelling he heard the doors shut and bolt heavily to keep anyone from getting through without explosives. "We'll alert her your coming momentarily, give us a moment to calm her down it seems she just woke up."

Between him and the door across the room that had just locked to contain the little girl several vampires tensed, expecting this guest to try and fight them down to get to her like most cockier ones did. These were almost all younger vampires, but the one standing directly in front of the door was obviously older, and his calm manner gave away his higher position. Getting to Anya without losing some limbs was not going to be easy, if even possible alone.

~~

Vyre calmly made his way back over to the girl carrying a tray of food which he was forced to put down on a nearby table, "Figures I leave the room to bring you food when you wake up, and you get up and cause a mess and a racket. Varias go lock the door to this hallway before our guests come to her rescue, be sure to bolt it against other vampires as that's likely what will come."
His calm manner could be considered pleasant and rather hostly, or ominous depending on a person's outlook. He had been known for giving off mixed outlooks, "So girl, will you return with me calmly to your room, or are you going to turn around and run back up the hallway to find the wolves." While it sounded like an odd thing to say, there were literally wolves back the way she had come screaming from, only two but they looked a bit agitated with all the noise.

Thinking for a moment on her usual reactions he readied himself in case she tried to use that odd necklace again or run, the other vampires in the area seemed ready for it too now. "Oh and your in my manor if you must know, and you are surrounded by my family. So your safe unless you start screaming again." As if to emphasize that a wolf from behind gave a soft growl.

Anya jumped as the vampire came into the room. Well it was about time someone got in her to explain why the heck she was locked in a house and away from her home! The vampire had said he brought her food she looked to see a tray of human food and almost drooled she was hungry though her appetite had failed her earlier. He mentioned wolves, looking behind her she head the growl and knew he was telling the truth...her necklace glowed dim showing she was calmer but still could blast someone should she get spooked.

"I don't recall saying I wanted to be brought here so dont get stiff with me mister i kidnap girls who's parents just got slaughtered." She snapped before looking around the room she tried to think of how best to get out of the situation"Run fool how do you know the food is safe maybe hes gonna poison you!!!" That thought in mind Anyas rational side left caution thrown to the wind she accidentally blasted a random item and picked up a coffee table throwing it at them before taking off for the door surprised she could move as fast as she was, but then again fear did things to people

Vyre sighed, his eyes turned an odd deep red as he grew a bit more annoyed with her. She had to run back the way she came if she hoped to go through a doorway as the one in the other direction was locked strong enough to withstand a battering ram ((So I'm assuming you stunned the wolves and bolted past them.))

Vyre seemed to almost vanish before reappearing in front of her. He was leaning down to keep them at eye level with each other, "listen, i'm being nice and answering your questions and taking care of you. If your going to be like this all night, I'm just going to kill you right here. You are surrounded by my family, you are dead if I wish it understand? Now let's go back to your room and have a talk. Or you can run toward the door behind me at the end of this hall and die, got it?" with that he walked past her and picked up the food tray to take it back into the room she had woken up in. At the only exit out of this hallway other then that room, there stood eight vampires ready to kill her.

Anya jumped as the vampire showed up in front of her towering over her before he leaned down to her eye level to speak bluntly. How many times had the words death or kill been associated with her in the past two hours! Glaring at the vampires behind him she debated flicking them off but decided against and had to stick with sticking her tongue out at them before she walked after him muttering under her breathe

"Demanding ass." This all could've been avoided if they had just told her flat out at the house about whats was going on instead doing the whole"Come with me ill tell you the" routine. Walking back into the room with him she plopped down on the bed folding her arms and looking around it was a nice house. If it didn't feel like prison she would have been excited about being somewhere like this she wondered how much the tables she broke were"Well they cant bill me, they shouldn't have kidnapped me." She thought

Vyre sat himself down in a chair across the way after placing the tray on a table near to where she sat on the bed, despite being the lord of this mansion he was still rather obsessive about keeping guests in at least decent treatment. Anya was pushing it at this rate with all the panic fits.

"So go ahead and ask any questions now before I ask mine." really he was holding off on his question because her questions would likely answer his...

((Damn this all, you guys must move so fast when I´m away ? XD Sigh...luckily I can do waht I want XD Indomitus, I hope you won´t mind me ignoring the servants and all, i just want to feel like I´m a part of the thing + I can imagine the thing with the honney I´m home bit XD))

Nick only looked narrow eyed at the vampire that came to him but his attention was soon caught by the noises that came from elsewhere. “My my, the girl is already making trouble eh?” he thought as he looked back at the servant. “Take me to your master or whoever he is. I need to ‘speak’ to him” Nick said smiling widely as he watched the servant. “Know what, never mind, I´ll find him on my own” he said grinning as he started walking not caring in the slightest if the servant had anything to say. It didn´t take him long. Following the scent and the voices soon got him to his desired location. He walked into the room with a wide smile across his face. “Hello again” he said grinning at the two.

((Ok, here i come!!!))

"Damn it, she escaped too... Am i so damn worthless? Pff..." He thought. "Now it's more than a rescue. It's me or him in this small world." He said and tried to contact Vyre's mind.

"Ok, first wall to break is enough for me." Keith thought, and begun searching Vyre's mind for a weakness.

After a few minutes he found a small spot on the wall being "fake". He just crashed it with his leg ((this would most likely make Vyre feel something like a punch to his head)) and went inside.

"Perfect, i'm in." Keith whispered and then walked inside just to face the second wall. "I wonder if i can... No, his will should be too strong to be broken..."

Keith now begun talking to Vyre. "Listen. I'm all fed up with this. Instead of running like a coward, why don't you just come out and face me like a man? Or being hidden is part of your manner now? I could easily destroy the pile of woods that you call home, but there are people inside it that may not deserve to die." He sighed. "So just come out and let's end this once and for all. Winner get's the girl, loser loses his soul. In case of a draw or someone interrupting us we will rematch." And, before exiting Vyre's mind he added a few words. "And bring the girl with you."...

Vyre looked up as Nick made his way through, with what he knew this one was roughly a thousand years old and likely would be too much trouble to keep away. "Oh just take a seat for now." He didn't show it when the intruder made his way inside Vyre's head.

He sighed not sure if he was disappointed or not that he had no reputation. There were a lot of vampires that could beat him in a fair fight, he was not strong that way. But Vyre ran half of the Radek family for a reason, he wasn't stupid.

On the very surface of his thoughts so that it could be easily read by the mind lurker hopefully, he left his message not knowing if he could read the thought at all anyways, "Or perhaps you can just come inside my little intruding friend. I have other problems then coming out to duel you, if you can defeat every one here you can have the girl." He wrote something down and gave it to a servant the next time one walked by the door, "You know who to take it to." The servant nodded and proceeded upstairs. Vyre closed the door and bolted it, leaving him Anya and Nick inside securely. He sat back down as he waited things out, "Don't mind that, but some people are persistent about catching you still. Just an extra precaution."

Deeper in the mansion, the vampires were alert and ready for anyone to try and break this hospitality. Vyre waited to see if the vampire who kept coming into people's heads would try to honestly take down the whole pile of wood.

OOC: Short but eh XD

Nick nodded and seated himself. He watched his friend, if he could call him that way, do something and giving something to the servant. He only silently sat there in the chair and watched with a smile. “I seemed to forgot to introduce myself the last time we met” Nick said smiling his attention on his friend. “I´m Nick, nice to meet you and let me say this is a really impressive house” Nick said smiling. He looked around the room his sight ending on the girl. “I see she is your guest as me. How very nice. Please, continue in your talk. I´ll be more than happy to listen what you two got to say” Nick said grinning as his sight went back to the guy who´s name he still didn´t know.

Vyre nodded, "nice to formally meet you then. This mansion is one of six in this country. My name is Vyre. The mansion is mine for now, if my parents die I will take their's. Until then you are welcome to stay here with me as long as you don't throw a fit like this little girl and break everything, half this stuff is pretty old. Well except the T.V. we set up in a sort of game room a few years back."

((woo hoo short posts cuz there's not much to do in simple conversation lol))
