Keith was walking around the palace his family used to live for many many ages. His rapier rapier in right hand, his hat in left one, Keith was searching for something to play with while it was still day. If it was night he would surely go out in the small park they had there, but going during the day would burn his skin and maybe kill him too...

While walking through the hallways of the palace he found a mirror. There he looked at himself and straightened his pants to seem perfect. He stood there looking at himself once more before he continues his way, just to end up to the chairs going upstairs.

He decided to follow the way up which lead to the final room before the rooftop.

"Heh, now i just have t owait for a few hours and then i will be able to see the moon again. It will be a full moon in a few days, same day as my birthday will be." He told to himself.

Then he shiethed his sword and grabbed a red rose from a nearby table, sniffed it and, still having it in hand, he left the room and headed towards his bedroom.....

Galaxie walked down the dark hall of the palace, where her room was located. Multicolored light filtered in through the thin stained glass windows that lined the hall. Her current expression was tired and dull. Her eyes glued to the floor as she made her way towards her bedroom. Opening the door she let out a soft sigh before laying back on her bed. She recently just got back from another failed attempt at finding the cure, she didn't know how much time was left before the disease killed all the Royals. She looked into creating an cure from the other Servs and Souls but found no such luck. She knew time was running out and currently had no idea where she should even begin looking for the Crystal Blood holder. The rise in Darks killing humans wasn't helping the fact either, what if they manged to get the cure and destroy it before she was able to find it? Determination and hate of Darks was her drive for continuing her search. After she caught up on her sleep she decided she would assemble a team to go with her for another attempt at finding the Crystal Blood. Her eyes slowly closed as she set in a deep sleep.

“A perfect night for a massacre” Nick thought as he walked down the street of a small village hidden deep in the rocky mountains and forests. He wore is usual sinister smile as he walked the night streets and looked around almost yearning for a kill. His sight was perfect in the dark and nothing escaped his attention. He soon found his first victim. A young girl was walking only few feet away from him and he couldn´t help to notice she was alone.

“My my” he thought as he crept behind the girl without making a noise and with a swift movement sunk his teeth into the neck. The girl never noticed anything and only a small moan was all that escaped her mouth. Nick only held her shoulders as he enjoyed the thick red liquid that ran from the girl and fed his never ending hunger for more. He felt her die in his hands as he sucked every last drop out of her and let her lifeless body fell to the ground.

“My dear, you were refreshing” he said as he looked at the dead corpse. “Time to serve me this beautiful night” he said as he cast a spell on the body and it rose from the ground. The pale and dead expression on the girls face only made Nick smile as he guided her movement as a puppet master. The lifeless body moved as he wished and he had a great idea how to use it.

The dead girl now walked down the street moving a bit uncoordinated and that caught the attention of three men near a pub. They automatically walked to her and started teasing her in the dim light casted by the lights of the pub. The light was weak enough to hide the girls pale face and lifeless exterior but that was just what Nick needed. Before the man knew it one of them was already impaled on Nicks sword. Blood dripping from the sticking edged the man looked at his impaled stomach and fell to the ground in terror and twitched a bit as Nick pulled the sword from his gut.

“Greetings” Nick said smiling as the dead girl grabbed the second man around the neck while he cut the throat of the third that went down in sickening noises. The man held in the girls clutches tried to scream but his throat was pressed too tightly for even the smallest of voice to escape from it. Nick only walked to the man, grinning. “You chose a wrong day to drink my friend, unlike me” Nick said as he bit the man’s neck at the place the girls grip wasn´t holding it. After a moment the man´s body fell to the ground and Nick wiped his mouth. “Mmm...I love a good alcohol in blood or was it blood in alcohol? Man, this guy drunk too much. Anyway...” Nick gestured once more and brought back to life even the three dead men.

“Time to visit the pub. Don´t you agree?” Nick asked smiling as the blunt expressions on the dead faces of his new slaves only looked into the void of the night. “I knew you´d agree” Nick said smiling as he and his minions walked into the pub. First, the night was calm, chilling and silent but soon screams from the pub echoed all around the small village. People running from the pub were taken down by other people who seemed to have a blunt expression on their faces as more and more screams came they all soon got silenced and a creepy silence engulfed the village once again. Nick walked out of the pub his face crossed by a fiendish smile and blood dripping from his smile.

The people from the surrounding houses walked out to the streets to see what was happening only to be brought down by their neighbours, family members or just some strangers. One by one they were all killed as the village once more echoed in screams of fear and terror. Many tried to flee to the nearby forests but none succeeded. All were captured and brought to face him. He, who brought doom to this little peaceful human village. Nick sat in the centre of the village on a throne made of dead or reanimated bodies and watched his ever expanding army of mindless undead minions gather around bringing the last bits of living to his presence. With a gesture of his hand, all the survivors were executed in the most horrible of manner. Nick new his spell wouldn´t last forever and so with a satisfied smile he only sat there, staring into the night and smiling he waited for the sun to rise. “Ah, I love these silent nights” he sighed to himself smiling.

Anya ran down the streets her blood soaked shredded outfit clinging to her as her feet pounded on the concrete, they were coming! She skidded around a corner, her necklace giving off an unwanted and errie shine as she climbed the ladder. Coming up on the roof she ran across the top as she heard the angry screeches, jumping she let out a shriek as she lost her footing and hung by her hands and one foot.

"I gotta get outta here!" She muttered pulling herself up her knee began to bleed as she realized she scraped it and she swore

"Great now they have my blood too!" She said before running down a fire escape, landing on the ground she darted out into the streets narrowly missing getting hit by several cars. She saw the woods and looked back to see the vampires gaining on her. Tripping she screeched as one landed on her and before she knew it she blasted a hole through its chest, more blood falling on her she kicked the corpse off her before she continued to run deeper into the woods.

"Help please somebody help me!!!" She resorted to screaming now as the other vampire seemed to be more determined then ever to kill her."Mom......dad....someone!" She thought frantically as the Vampire jumped on her making them tumble down a hill in the forest and landed with a crash. She groaned before picking up a stick as the two vampires stared at her

"What do you want?" She asked desperately hoping some type of help would arrive, they continued to stare at her and she wondered what they were after. She didn't have anything except for the fact she couldnt age as fast as other humans but she didn't know why that was!

"We want you, come on little girl everything will be alright." Anya wasn't so sure he was telling her the truth when it came to that.

Nikko had been close by when he spotted a site that wasn't as uncanny as one may believe. A poor thin girl running from a grove of vampires. Sadly, it seemed to happen more often then not. He had been standing at the bottom of the fire escape, it was no wonder the girl didn’t spot him. Fear can do strange things like that. After the chase had passed him, he climbed upward and onto the roof to watch the scene from an aerial view. Was that situation any different from the others? And did he really need a defenseless human tagging along after him after he saved her life? The preservation of the human race was not his goal but the existence of the Royal family was.

He continued to stalk the ongoing chase, watching her as she screamed and ran in futility. ’This is sick!” he couldn’t help thinking. ’They are playing with her life and your watching it like a human in front of the television.’
Disgusted with his own lack of involvement he dropped down on foot, that’s when he saw what made this entire situation change for the better. The now seared, hollow and entirely crispy vampire laid on the ground motionless. How could such a power be held by a human? Was she a priest? An escaped nun? Intrigued, he joined the chase until the remaining prosecutors had their prey cornered. He knew he was fairly well known in the vampire realm but he was counting on his absenteeism that this particular fellows would not know him.

“What is going on here?” His voice carried strong, eyes focusing on what he continued to believe was nothing but a weak human. He tried to refrain from smirking as he realized she had armed herself, with a tree branch. He allowed his hands to rest easy, prepared for what was to be expected. A retailation. Afterall, he was interrupting their rendezvous.

Edit: just making my paragraphs more noticeable.

Andrew walked out of the training room, sword still gripped tightly in his hand. He'd just finished training some new Souls, which proved to be quite a workout. He glanced down at the light bruises and minor cuts that lined his arms. "For newbies they sure now how to fight." He muttered to himself, walking down the dark hallways he spun on his heel, going in the other direction. One of his students mentioned Galaxie coming back and he decided he'd pay his friend a visit.

"She'll probably laugh at me, seeing all these cuts." Shaking he head he looked around until he found what e guessed was her room.

Standing infront of the door he hesitated for a sort moment before twisting the knob. Stepping inside he grinned and walked over the the edge of her bed. "Those missions must've gotten to you. You look beat." He said, setting is swords beside the bed. "Are you planning on going back out for the cure anytime soon?" He tilted his head, wondering if she was awake or not.

As the night came and the nearly full moon took the place of the sun in the sky Keith woke up and went through the hallways to the rooftop.

"Aaahh, clean nightsky, just like i like it." There he gazed at the stars thinkinh of the many things he could do this night. Without noticing he put his hand at his amulet hanging from his neck and begun rubbing it, as if he wanted to feel something, or maybe remember someone.

A few minutes later he stood up and took a look at the forest.

"Nothing amazing there either. Oh, what a boring life." He took out a piece of paper and a pen and begun writing poems.

That was until he heard a scream from the woods and a noisy splatter. He raised his head just to see a little girl running away from some kind of zombies. Although he usually didn't interfere in the battles of others he always liked to seem like a ladies man, a hero.

Keith knew that going down the stairs would be just too slow so he decided to jump from the point he was.

As a vampire he didn't get damaged, even if he just fell from the rooftop of a three-floors building. When he landed he begun running towards the girl, unshiething his rapier and holding his hat with his right hand.

"Help please somebody help me!!!" screamed the girl and Keith, hearing that, he sprinted, achieving nearly the highest speed his body would allow him.

Reaching the place the girl was he saw those zombie-like monsters being lead by another of his kin. Keith stood between that guys and the girl.

"One move and i will cut your heads off, beasts...

Galaxie shifted her position, turning over to see Andrew. Smiling she put a hand to her mouth, supressing the urge to laugh. "Wow, looks like you had on heck of a fight, or atleast a fall." Sitting up she stared up at the ceiling, keeping silent for a few minutes. "Its been hectic with trying to find the cure. I don't know where to start or even if its still available. For all I know the Darks could have it in their posession right now." Bending down se picked up one of his swords, balancing it in her hand. "I was going to head back out tomorrow, but with I may leave today instead. Something is telling me I should." Running a finger down the black blade she stared at the thin line of blood on her index finer, running down to her palm.

"At the very least I want to fight some Darks this time." Sighing she stood up and placed te sword back on the floor. "You want to come with me when I leave?" Not giving him time to answer she went over to her closet, pulling out her katana. She ran a pale hand over the blue epigraph running down the middle of the blade. "Soon you'll be all covered in crimson, its a nice touch though." Turning back to Andrew she stood by the door. "Coming?"

Anya backed up when she noticed the arrival of two others, this was getting to weird for her she was freezing it was cold she was covered in blood scraped up and above all these things just tore her parents apart! Raising her stick she brought it down on the Vampire who was standing in front of hers back and backed up

"You all better stay away from me!" She said attempting to sound brave as the vampires she was facing before seemed to laugh at her as if she had just done something stupid. Looking up Anya wondered how long the first vampire had been watching.

"Come now sweetheart we only want to help you." she backed up more before tripping

"Into what an early grave? No thank you!" She snapped as her necklace glowed before she accidentally blasted a blahs of light at one of the vampires hitting his arm it screeched and turned red eyes on her she gulped mentally"Shouldve aimed and killed him" She thought before looking around.

"What do things want from me anyways!??!" She asked still holding her stick

He watched as an unknown figure ran past him to breech the gap between the girl and the predatorily vampires. He stood behind the entire scene and now was at a lose for words. ‘My life is full of surprises,’ he thought as he realized the new hero in the situation was none other then Prince Keith. A mix of confusion and disappointment surrounded him. The most precious of the family line was out on the battlefield himself. He knew better then to think that the Prince was weak but with him in danger of falling victim to the disease, the last place he needed to be was on the battlefield were Souls and Servs were already outnumbered. He snorted underneath his breathe.

His eyes focused on the young prince. He couldn’t help but see the prince as another distraction, another problem to be solved rather then a potential asset. His eyes narrowed before he turned his attention to the girl, noticing the necklace around his neck. He heard rumors of what it looked like, how it worked but didn’t think that the little charm around the girl’s neck was indeed what he was looking for. But then again, why else would she have acquired such a large party vampires in such a short time. Not to mention, the powers it granted her. He ran his hand over his bald head, the things he found himself being pulled into.

“The day in the life of a Serv-less Soul,” he muttered as he pulled his sword from the sheath beneath his shirt. The blade was a few inches longer then his arm and came to a brilliant point. He brought the blade down to waist level in a powerful swing, it singing through the air and vibrating as it came to a stop. "I'm not like the others young girl. My family was killed by this demons," He was lieing but he needed her trust. "Please, I'm just here to help you." He decided he would explain himself to the Prince later but for now, he needed to get the girl to safety.

Anya scowled not trusting him in the least as the Vampire seemed unresponsive"Did I kill him?" She wondered the stick still in her hand glaring back at the vampire she scoffed slightly her skin was growing blue and she felt herself shaking.

"I am not that young alright?" She said still glaring as she looked around half expecting everyone to team up against her, as the Vampire lunged she let out a high c screech before she accidentally blasted him and he fell to the ground dead. Anya gapped shocked at her won actions but slight relived remembering why she was running in the first place

"I.....I'm. You.......he, I didn't do anything you killed my parents!" She said pointing her finger at the now angry Vampire annoyed with the entire situation she tried to look around for a means to escape, she contemplated trusting the vampire but she wasn't quite sure at the moment who was the bad guy who was good or if there was any difference.

"Why should I trust you?" She asked him not taking her eyes off the final Vampire...

“It’s a long story,” Nikko calmly said as he approached the remaining nameless vampire. He held out his sword, planning to prove himself in battle. He also began placing together a lie about his origin. He couldn’t tell this poor girl that he was indeed a vampire. It didn’t help that he wouldn’t have mind to take bite into her own neck. In her fear, he could make out the veins beneath her skin. He had been without blood for a while and the hunger made delusional. He heard his own heart beat and could only wonder what hears sounded like. He shook his head and tried to focus as that task at hand. His side ways shuffle brought him closer to the girl while maintaining an offensive stance toward the other vampire. He looked over at the Prince then at the girl.

“He is safe to, his name is Keith.” He figured it definitely wouldn’t help for her to be scared of both of them. He raised his sword over his head and lunged towards the remaining demon, planning to bring his sword down where the neck meet the victim’s collar bone.

Marcus whistled as he strode through the forest, his hands deep in his pockets. he stooped and picked up a stick, and pulling out his knife, started whittling on it. he became so absorbed in his work, he didn't notice where he was going. at least not until he stumbled upon a party of people, most of them holding swords. and all of the swords pointing at each other.

Marcus stopped and whistled. "wow, is this some sort of reenactment or something?" he didn't even wait for an answer, he strode forward and looked at the nearest guy, who was staring at him with strangely blank eyes. "nice makeup job, id' almost think your dead" Marcus laughed at his joke, but suddenly his laughed died in his throat.

he suddenly realized nobody else was laughing, and that most of them were glaring at him, malice clear in there gazes. the one nearest him, stepped forward, and Marcus involuntarily shuddering, stepped back. "fresh blood, this one is. and we sense something else in him." he took another step. and Marcus shuddered again. he didn't know what they meant by fresh blood, and something else in him. but he was most certain that he would not like the outcome.

OOC:....you guys post to much, by the time i write mine, you've posted five times, so i have to change mine ... XD

Vyre wandered on by curiously, sticking far away from the crowd as he stalked them. He had followed the girl ever since she started screaming, and now he stood among the dark watching with a curiosity of the unknown. Other vampires would easily see him, but that was not his concern, and after awhile of listening to them he decided to see what was so special about the girl.

Wandering in towards the crowd as if he were nothing special, hands in his coat pockets and whistling as if he was just out for a walk. He jumped back a bit, imitating a startled person, as he saw the crowd ready to cut each other up. "Good lord, it's late to be playing with weapons you know." He was attempting his best to come off as a human, an act he had practiced plenty. Among vampires he was slightly known, but more so by name then face, and his grungey look did not have the general classy sophistication some vampires preferred.

"Your going to hurt yourselves you know." Taking a moment to look at the girl who was questioning the others for trustworthiness, "To add on to it all, the dear girl looks a tad uncomfortable. Come here girl, we should take you home, away from these..." looking around at the gathering of the curiously-dressed and sword-armed, "Halloween kids?" Still making his best attempt to come off human.

“Time to go” Nick said to himself as he got up from his makeshift throne of bodies as the sun came up and his spell lost its effect, and the bodies of the villagers fell to the ground, dead once again. “Very amusing and quite refreshing” Nick said smiling as he shielded his exes from the rising sun. He had to blink a few times before his eyes got adapted but at the end he looked around the dead village. Some blood was still occupying the ground under the dead bodies and gave it a nice red shade.

“Time to move, I´ve had enough relaxation for one day, plus I may have overdid it. The royals might not like this. Once they find out oh hey will be pissed” Nick said grimacing as a sinister smile crawled up his face. “Good” he hissed. “Very good. Hahahahahaha” he started laughing like the psycho he was. Once he was finally done laughing, tears of joy ran down his cheeks. “Ah...I need to do this more often” he said to himself as he took a last look at the village and disappeared into the surrounding forests.

"Wow wow... They are really coming out of nowhere... And they are many...." Keith thought as he was slowly covering the distance between him and the girl moving with the back turned to her, watching for any suspicious moves from the others.

Nikko gone and stood near the girl.

“He is safe to, his name is Keith.” Nikko said, while Keith was still looking at him.

"He can't be an enemy." Keith thought. "He should be one of us..."...

Taking a closer look at Nikko he realized that he was a Soul. Having a happer look now, Keith stopped being offensive against him, as he knew they were on the same side.

The girl behind him looked like she was still confused.

"Hey, you, little girl. You shouldn't be out here alone. Head to that palace." He pointed with his left hand, still holding his hat. "There you will be safe for the moment. Trust me...." His last words, trust me, came out with a smooth and quiet voice.

Keith then turned just to welcome two new arrivals.

"A human..." He thought when he saw the first person. "And another.... Human? Ha, not at all. I can feel the darkness in his heart and his hunger for the blood of the innocent... A Dark....".

His heart was now beating a little bit faster as he had the feeling of being surrounded with only one person on his side, and he barely knew him. Which meant that he could be another one of those cowards, taking the side of his enemies in his hunt for power....

Keith looked at the girl and with his look he tried to convince her to go quickly....

Nikko brought his blade down cleanly on the remaining nameless vampire, the silver burning through the flesh. He finished the creature off with a stab through the heart, just in case. After shaking the off the ashes, he returned his beloved weapon to its rightful place.

At the Prince’s words he couldn’t help but scowl. The girl had already shown offense to the title ’little girl’ yet the others seem to through it around as if it were her name. He straightened out his shirt and received an idea.

He turned towards the girl, face grim, “You probably can take better care of yourself then I can and it won’t help if you don’t want me to assist you.” He knelt down and untied one of the daggers from his calf, this blade also line in silver. He showed her the blade before replacing it in its sheath then tossed it at her feet.

“My mother would kill me if she knew I was leaving a girl like yourself unarmed in a world like this but it seems you have another power source guarding you. You should be careful who you trust,” his eyes locked on the necklace as he spoke these words before looking at the other vampires who had been attracted to this prize. He sighed, “atleast tell me your name since I’ve given you mine.” His eyes meet hers once again, hoping his mini-monologue had broken through a barrier somewhere in her mind.

Anya scowled as more people showed up"What the hell is this a free for all!?" She thought as they began addressing her by the title of little girl her fear was melting away and she began to get angry as her necklace glowed showing the dangerous sign that she was getting upset. Looking over she noticed the last vampire was now dead"But how many more are they?" She wondered before a soft thud caught her attention looking down she noticed he had tossed her a weapon one that she could sue to kill the vampires if needed picking it up she exaimned it."Its nice...............but why give it to me?" She wondered before sliding it in her pocket the scent of blood was getting to her and making her sick especially since she was covered in it,

"Anya........my name is Anya, so if everyone could kindly stop addressing me as If i was 12 id really appreciate it." She said crossing her arms in a weak attempt to keep warm. Looking around she counted to see how many times she would need to blast should they turn on her. Looking over she jumped when something shook the trees but couldnt see what it was"Stay away from me and it will live to see another day...." She thought when something dawned on her

"Castle!??!" She said confused
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
The Vampire left the scene knowing he was out numbered he would have to find Nick and explain........that was NOT something he was looking forward too. Thinking back to his companions he scowled, the cyrstal blood holder was right there and she got away! Well she didn't exactly go down easy, they probably should have killed her off when she was still stunned about her parents. But the thrill of the chase had been just a little to hard to pass up. Landing he prepared himself for the worst as he found Nick.

"She got away.........." He muttered
