Hanna Bealette's Story

The door to the ever famous building was thrown open. Making entrance was a large brute of a man. Standing six feet or more, he wore a large brimmed hat; definitely tattered. A long black beard sat atop his chest, mustache completing the circle around his fat lips. A thick leather jacket covered his upper body, while jeans covered his lower portion. Large heavy boots covered his feet. The odd thing about the Hunter was what lay within his grasp. Like a doll, a young human female sat halfway upon the ground. Her hair was mangled and tightly wound within the Hunter's hand. Eyes of the woman were closed, makeup had long been ruined by endless tears. A tight black shirt covered most of her upper body. With her hands raised and grabbing on to the mans strong hand, the shirt rode up a bit, showing off a slim belly. Dirty jeans covered her legs, dipping into a regular pair of flats. Gently the girl sobbed, barely audible to those around. With a huff the man began walking to the bar, dragging the girl behind him. She was not so much dragged, but rather scurried her feet to keep up with him and not have her hair torn from her scalp. As he began to walk, a small screech emitted deep with her throat. Like pulling the reigns on a horse, she followed at his biding. Sitting upon a stool at the bar, he threw the girl against the bar, causing her to hunch over and fall to the ground. Releasing her hair, she was able to cuddle her now wounded side in the fetus position. Dark eyes looked down at her with a smirk. His large hand folded into a fist, slamming it atop the bar. With a deep baritone voice he barked, " Anythin' yer willin' to give an old man!". His accent was light, but hinted at his original breeding grounds. The girl simply laid upon the ground in her current position. Hair covered her face in a mess as she continued to lightly sob. Other than needing to inhale for breathing, the girl did not move an inch.

Please help me. She pleaded within her mind;knowing they had entered a building.Anyone...please.

"In a place like this, your reflexes have to be fast." The girl Continued "Are you flirting in an odd sort of way?" Kyros Chuckled Silently."If you wanted to start a conversation, all you had to do was say hi, not to anyone specifically but we both would have responded, thinking you were talking to us." Before He could say anything the girl said "Is there something wrong with my sister?" Kyros tried hiding the fact that he was Surprised and Just began Talking without thought or Filter.
"You seem to be able to read me, But -" Kyros bit his tongue knowing that he'd only end up starting a Fight. "I've just had a Terrible Experience with Vampires and due to that I'm just held on edge. I don't even like fairly large Gatherings of people like this." Kyros Modified the Question and basically refused to answer the Question about this girls sister knowing he'd end up judging her if he didn't. "Now what confuses me is whether you are Very observant or Just have a sort of sixth sense." He turned to The girl "Just a Few more things? I'm not Flirting just so we're clear on that. And I didn't think about just saying Hi. Though I suppose that would had been the Better thing to do." Kyros Dropped his back pack off his Back and onto the ground at his feet. He returned his View to the door and watched everything around him carefully.

She looked at him, listening to what he said.

"You seem to be able to read me, But I've just had a Terrible Experience with Vampires and due to that I'm just held on edge. I don't even like fairly large Gatherings of people like this." He the continued by asking her a question. "Now what confuses me is whether you are Very observant or Just have a sort of sixth sense." He turned to her, "Just a Few more things? I'm not Flirting just so we're clear on that. And I didn't think about just saying Hi. Though I suppose that would had been the Better thing to do."

Keira didn't know the answer to his question, but she knew how to react to his comment about his experiences with vampires. "There are good vampires, a few bad experiences with some doesn't mean they are all like that, especially with type 1 and 2 vampires." She paused a moment, with a slight smile. "As for the reading you, let's call it a woman's intuition." She shrugged, sipping some more water.

Suddenly the door opened and a man, dragging a girl along behind him, walked in. He seemed dominant over the girl, but he wasn't a vampire so she couldn't be a 'pet'. Kiera wanted to help, but she knew the other hunters would immediately take his side, after all she was a vampire sympathizer and a bit of a hunter hater. She watched the large man, closely, he didn't seem to bothered by hurting her, nor did the other hunters seem to care he was hurting a human. "We do this to protect humans." She mumbled to herself, quoting a dead hunter sarcastically.

"There are good vampires, a few bad experiences with some doesn't mean they are all like that, especially with type 1 and 2 vampires." For a moment there was nothing from The girl then "As for the reading you, let's call it a woman's intuition." "I guess it's good to keep some secrets right?" Kyros said under his breath.

Out of no where the Door opened and a Man was dragging a Girl behind him for a moment until she caught up to him. He had her Hair in a Vice grip wrapped around his hand. Kyros was Confused She wasn't Vampire...they were Human and Hunter by the looks of it. The girl flew into the Bar counter and fell to the ground Curled into a Ball to some extent. The man had Released her hair and reformed his hand into a Fist Dropping it onto the Counter shaking it " Anythin' yer willin' to give an old man!"The man Erupted. Kyros absorbed most of the Vibrations because he was Right there leaning up against the counter. Kyros's eyes Remained on the Girl watching her and her Reactions closely. The girl sat almost motionless. Kyros turned back to the Girl he was chatting with. "If your Woman's Intuition is That good than you know how I feel about that." He said Picking up his Bag. "I can see how you feel about this too, It's showing all over your face." Kyros's heart was Racing and Was becoming Angry. "If he Hurts that girl one more time I'm going turn this equal Bar into a War zone" He said it like fighting was a Hobby. "I would Appreciate it a-lot though if you could get the Girl out of here...If it comes down to War." He Almost whispered to her. Kyros was Aware he Had no pull with the other Hunters, But if blood Was shed...The Vampires would Probably cut loose for a Frenzy. "If you can find it in you to forgive me once more" Kyros said to his Original Conversant turning to the big guy Before She could respond to anything he'd said.

"If you don't mind me Asking whats her story?" Kyros gestured to the Girl on the Ground as the Big guy Got his Drink served to him.

When receiving the drink, the Hunter grabbed it and took a couple large gulps from it, slamming it back down on the counter. At that point another had spoken to him. He huffed, eyes looking the male up and down before choosing to respond. " Aye, she's mah bait." He chuckled at the thought, then looked down to her. He realized she was sobbing louder than he wished, causing his brows to furrow. "'Eh!" A hand rose and smacked the girl on her side; the opposite of the one that was harmed when he tossed her into the bar. The girl screeched and curled tighter into herself. "Shush yer whinin', woman!". She continued her crying, but tried to make it less loud. For the fear and pain she was in, she did a fairly good job. The Hunter laughed and shook his head, looking to Kyros. "Women, 'eh?". Belly rolled and chin bounced as he let out a deep laugh. Hand pounded a couple times on the bar as he laughed, attempting to show how humorous he thought his comment was.

The girl continued to stay in her position, not moving, and crying. If you were to look more closely, you could tell her breathing was labored. Considering her still state, it was not due to running a mile, but simply because her contact with the bar had more than likely injured her internally.

Please.. The girl thought once again, thinking of the male whom spoke to the mysterious male whom took her.

Kyros's Left handed grip on his Backpacks Shoulder Strap Tightened to the Point that Kyros Cracked his Knuckles. He slipped his arm Off the Table and Into his Backpack it passed through something and Grabbed a Water Bottle Shaped Thing "I Know. But the Worst kind Women are the Abusive one's. You'd Be surprised How many there are, One gave me a Scar on my back. The Little Shit Had Taken a Knife Down it."
Kyros Told the Man as he Whipped his Forearm Blade and Moved back Slicing the man enough to hit Vitals in a two Liter pop bottle length Cut that slid through his Gut and into the wood of the Counter. There was a Loud THWAK but few people Noticed. Kyros Quickly Looked over his Shoulder at the Keira and Ran Past the Man Picking up the Injured Girl and Yelled "THE MANS BLEEDING!QUICKLY SOMEONE GET HIM A CLOTH." Kyros yelled Looking back At the girl."Come on!"Kyros Ran to the Door Opening it for Keira The bar guy ran to the Man when he Heard there was Blood. "God I've done it now..."Kyros Thought as the Adrenaline Started getting to him. The Blood Started Running down his blade towards his Hand as he Held the Girl in his Arms with his Foot in the doors path.

Keira watched as Kyros attacked the man, a hunter, in a bar filled with people who couldn't resist fresh blood and the people that would kill someone that harmed their own. Keira ran after Kyros and out the bar, "Do you realise what you have done?!" She shriek at him. "That bar was neutral, no fighting at all, but with the addition of fresh hunter blood, vampires won't be able to resist and the hunters will have to react!" She looked at the girl he was carrying. "What was he doing with you? He was a hunter, what did he gain from hurting you?" Her voice heavy with sympathy and her hand placed gently on the girl's shoulder."We should take her someplace safe, my apartment is close and it's able to keep a vampire locked in or out, so it's pretty safe." She suggested to Kyros. "Unless you can think of anything?"

Keeva rushed back in when she smelt the blood, "He's so juicy." She mumbled as she slowly edged towards the bleeding man, she knew the other hunters were there but she couldn't care less about them, she just cared about feeding and fresh blood.

The large man gasped for air as soon as the knife slit him. Eyes widened and head slammed down onto the counter. Hands released from their natural fist, attempting to grab at something. One had reached for his wound, trying to stop the bleeding. The other hand reached for anything at the counter, but simply spilled his beverage. He knew very well what would possibly happen, so he attempted to stand. Legs lifted him, but gave way, slamming his body onto the ground. The view he got, he realized his attacker had his bait. Lips parted to yell at the man, but nothing emitted. F##k he thought to himself as he slowly closed his eyes. Not being able to move he realized his predicament.

The girl flinched when Kyros lifted her from her position. Moaning and a slight screeched echoed from her throat as his motions moved her wounded side. Now that she was in his arms, her hair had moved out of her eyes. As Kyros headed for the door, she was able to look back at her captor. Seeing he was on the ground and clearly bleeding , actually made her feel bad. No.. she commented in her head. At this point a woman placed a hand on her shoulder, again causing her to flinch. Listening to her words, "What was he doing with you? He was a hunter, what did he gain from hurting you?", her eyes attempted to look up at her, without moving her head at all. Eyes darted around the woman's face, then closed, not responding. A tear dripped down her cheek and fell off, splattering upon the floor below them. She knew this meant she was free of her captor, but now she had another. Fear rushed through her core again, unaware of what would happen next.

"Do you realize what you have done?!" Keira Shrieked at Kyros. "That bar was neutral, no fighting at all, but with the addition of fresh hunter blood, vampires won't be able to resist and the hunters will have to react!" Kyros's Face looked At Keira Coldly. "What was he doing with you? He was a hunter, what did he gain from hurting you?" Her attention was now on the girl."We should take her someplace safe, my apartment is close and it's able to keep a vampire locked in or out, so it's pretty safe."A moment passed as Kyros thought about what he was going to say "Unless you can think of anything?" "If your apartment's close and can keep a Vampire out, Then that's probably our best bet seeing as how That Old Bastard Was using her For bait. We can chat more when we get there" Kyros was fully aware of what he did and what would happen but if those other hunters were smart, they'd Run.
"With how he was treating the girl she could had bled from anyone of those Beatings." He wanted to say it but it could wait so he left it in the back of his mind. "Ready to leave when you are." He said it with the girl still in his arms able to run. "Your going to be Okay" Kyros reassured the girl he was Carrying with a whisper and a Soothing Voice.

The girl looked up as she heard the male's soothing voice. Eyes looked through her messy hair, at his own eyes. A few more tears rolled down her cheek. Despite his soothing tone, she seemed very scared. Slowly, she closed her eyes again and moaned gently, as if disagreeing with the current situation. She knew the Hunter was bleeding still and that was the last thing she wanted to see.

The two who began helping her kept speaking of things called Vampires and Hunters. She had seen television shows about these types of things. All myths; stories that were told for fun. Of course the first to come to mind was that of Dracula. She thought that perhaps these people were on drugs. The idea of these things being real had to be a hallucination. She may not have been with the abusive man any longer, but now she was with a couple druggies. Honestly thinking, she was not sure which would have been the better choice.

Suddenly the girl coughed within her mouth. A quick shriek emitted from her, forcing lips to open and a small splat of blood to land within her hair, on her skin, and a little upon the male holding her. She inhaled deeply, forcing it to stop at a painful point. Exhaling she moaned from the pain. A few more coughs and she rolled her head to the side, attempting to face down at the ground. Still blood spit from her mouth in small amounts. A few drops hitting the floor and landing on both her and the male. The sudden movements of the male had caused more internal bleeding. Another deep inhale to catch her breath and the pain surged through her some more. A moan and suddenly she realized the sounds around her began to fade. She could not help but to think she was dying. The pain, the echoing within her ears. She figured she would be dead. Eyes squinted closed and suddenly everything when blank for her. Her form became a little bit heavier within the males arms.

Despite her thoughts, the girl was not dead. The shock of pain piercing through her nerves had finally reached her brain and caused her to pass out. Tears and blood now stained her form. Unfortunately, nothing she wasn't used to.

Ezra Underhill (At his Flat)

Ezra dropped a heavy object while in his apartment. He happened to hear the tenant that lives in the flat above him stirring suddenly. “Uh Oh. Maybe they heard that…” Ezra said aloud. He could hear the footsteps of the tenant above leaving his or her flat and heading downstairs. Ezra couldn’t help but feel a strange and bad vibe approaching the door to his flat. He immediately felt a little afraid and decided to hide in the next room. Ezra was a ghost and couldn’t be seen by humans that were alive so he usually had no problem standing, sitting and being among humans because he knew the living couldn’t see the dead. But this was the first time he felt differently, the first time in a whole year that he felt the need to hide from someone.

There was a knock on his door and then it opened. It was a young woman. She had long blonde hair and looked like nice person. Yet Ezra couldn’t escape the feeling she gave off, something strong and seemingly magical. She didn’t notice him hiding in the other room and she eventually left the flat. Ezra was curious and afraid at the same time. As she left Ezra decided to follow her. The young lady returned to her Flat for a moment and then eventually emerged to leave the building. Ezra slowly trailed her out of the apartment complex and into the streets. He was extremely nervous. This was the first time in several months that he had left his flat since returning to it after becoming a ghost. Being outside was a frightening experience. No one could see him trailing the young lady in the night. He just wanted to make sure that he wasn’t seen by her.

The young lady eventually reached an odd looking bar. The name read Penumbra. Ezra had never heard of that place before. The crown coming in and out of the place seemed a bit strange. It was very different than your usual bar hoppers. Ezra didn’t immediately follow the young lady in but waited outside across the street from the bar. After about ten minutes his curiosity got the better of him and he c=decided to cross the street and head in.

As Ezra walked into the seemingly divided bar half of the room looked at him strangely and the other half seemed not to notice him at all. He didn’t think anyone could see him. He was a ghost after all. He walked past the large crowd of people but something seemed different about them. These weren’t normal people. They most certainly weren’t ghosts either.

Choi Jin-sang, Okada Sasaki, and Ezra Underhill

After Choi finished his story, Malice’s eyes flew open. “You were turned TONIGHT!? Then what the hell are you doing here! Okada! You should take this boy out for REAL blood. LIVING blood!” her eyes had changed colour as she spoke, standing up from her chair and slamming her fist on the counter. “You can’t have this processed crap for your first meal!” She laughed slapping Choi on the back, ignoring the looks from the bartender and the nearest hunters.

"I mean, unless you can learn to control your bloodlust and walk in sunlight, you're kinda screwed." Keeva added.

Raising an eyebrow Malice blew a plume of smoke into the air. “Hmph, jobs are superficial. We kill people every day, they generally carry money themselves anyway, why bother pinning yourself down like that? It only makes it easier for hunters to find you.” She glanced over towards the hunter side of the room, they were apparently getting to the too drunk to care stage now.

Choi felt a little disheartened to hear that the sun was really a no go for Vampires. He loved his job. He would be heart-broken without being able to heal people. “Perhaps I can work the nightshift…” Choi replied. He needed to make money. He lived comfortably and was definitely used to a upper middle class lifestyle. To downgrade in life quality wasn’t an option if he could help it. Choi was also a little confused when malice mentioned that there was a difference between the blood they were drinking and the blood one attained when on an actual hunt. “Processed…?” Choi said quietly.

Sasaki wasn’t too happy at the prospect of hunting and killing for blood. He had hunted and murdered before and hated how good it felt to kill and drain another. He had vowed to control his urges and settle for the processed and purified blood which mostly came from animals rather than killing people to sustain himself. Yes it wasn’t as physically satisfying, but it made him felt much better morally. Sasaki replied, “Well… I didn’t want to make things harder for him than they needed to be. Once you taste the fresh blood from a human’s veins you have a hell of a hard time settling for processed blood. I wanted my love to never have to go through that if at all possible. I want to safeguard as much of his humanity as possible.” Sasaki spoke in a slightly embarrassed manner.

“Thanks Love. I love you.” Choi said as he blushed. “I’ll say no to the hunt. I don’t want to tear out someone’s throat if I don’t have to.”

There was a large man that entered the bar with a seemingly distraught woman. This man treated the woman very roughly and it was quite attention grabbing. Choi and Sasaki looked over and frowned. “What’s that about?” Sasaki asked in a snide manner. Choi was very concerned. The large man dragging the poor woman behind him, walked right through Ezra because he had not seen him. Sasaki took immediate notice of Ezra. “あの人は幽霊な。。。(ano hito wa yuurei na- that guy’s a ghost…” Sasaki said.

Ezra looked was a bit overwhelmed by all of the people. He had been alone for so long that crowds scared him. Sasaki excused himself from the group and grabbed Ezra gently by the are, leading him over to the rest of the group. “Hi there. Sorry to just drag you over but you looked like you could use some assistance. I’m Sasaki Okada. Nice you meet you.” Sasaki introduced himself.

Ezra’s eyes widened. It was the first time, since his passing, that he’d had physical contact with another. It felt nice. “You… you can see me…?” Ezra asked sheepishly.

John slowly opened his eyes, sitting in the back seat of the chauffeur's car whom had picked him up from the airport. He pulled out his phone and pulled up the GPS app on it, he could see that the Penumbra Bar was just a few blocks over.

"'Scuse me sir, could you let me out here?" He asked of the chauffeur. John got out of the car, told him to drop his suitcase off at the apartment, and gave him the money he owed and a tip. Walking to the sidewalk in the direction of the bar, John checked the time before putting his phone back into his pocket. Midnight. Perfect time for everything. He thought to himself. John observed all the people he passed by, there weren't many out now because it was so late, a lot of them were vampires. He could read guilt, hunger, pain, mischief, and other assorted emotions, all over their faces. Stopping for a second before continuing, he looked up at the moon. It'll be full in a few days, guess I'll find out then if vampires are the only creatures that live in this city.

The closer he got to the bar, the more the air smelled of blood. He heard yelling a block over and picked up his pace. The first thing his eyes caught as he round the corner was guy with a girl in one arm, and one at his side. Then John noticed the blade on his arm, the blood that dripped from it, and the noise that was coming from the bar.

John felt an urge to draw his sword, but didn't just yet. "So, uh, you wanna tell me what's going on here?" He said to the man as he walked closer.

Kyros examined the Figure that was Approaching him. "Play nicely" He thought to himself keeping in mind he was Almost face to face with a What seemed to be a Vampire who like to use Swords. "Long story short, A hunter walked into the Bar." Kyros hesitated before continuing. "Dragging the girl you see in my arms by her hair. Simply He abused her Repetitively upon entry and Told me she was Bait for Vampires. I reacted and Took the girl, This one Followed saying I could Take her to her Apartment. She's Started Coughing up Blood just Moments ago... And I believe she has Some Internal Bleeding, Now she's Fallen Unconscious." Kyros Finished Fairly Intimidated by this Approaching Vampire. "A sword....Controlled Blood Lust? Gotta Hand it to him He's Smart." Kyros Made Note of this and Held his Facial Expression as a Straight Emotion less Face.

"I'm not looking for a Fight" Kyros Thought. "You've Examined the Sounds I presume and Can put together The Puzzle of why there's Blood on my Blade." Kyros Spoke Clearly to the man. "Any day your Ready to Lead the way to The closest Hospital" Kyros Muttered to Keira with his eyes Fixated On The Vampire.

Keira watched as Kyros confronted the vampire that just approached them, when he turned to Keira and asked her to take them to the nearest hospital. "Trust a hunter to think the hospital was a good idea." She looked at the girl, "The hospital will ask questions, questions we can't answer." She smiled at the vampire. "Basically, he just stabbed a hunter, making him bleed in a room of vampires, if one attacks the other reacts." She looked around the immediate area. "Where's Keeva?" She walked to the door of the bar and walked in just as Malice grabbed hold of Keeva and pulled her back. "What are you doing?!" She yelled.

Keeva was powerless against Malice, she was older and hence stronger, but it didn't stop her from slapping and kicking her as hard as she could. She then heard her sister yelling and tried to make herself seem the victim. "Help me, she's insane!"

"The girl is right" John said to the group "There isn't much time to debate about what to do, because we have someone here who is dieing, but the hospital isn't the right place to go." He pushed with his words, trying to get them moving. Then the girl who spoke to him went into the bar after someone named 'Keeva.' Speaking to the man in front of him "Listen, this girl you saved isn't going to be around much longer to appreciate your good deed, your best bet is to trust me on this. I just got an apartment in this city, I'll have the chauffeur come pick you up and take you there. Just lay her on the bed or a couch or something, and I'll be back soon with some medical supplies." John whipped out his phone and called the chauffeur "I need you to pick me up at the bar, right now."

A few minute passed and a black limo pulled up. The driver's window rolled down. As John handed him three $100 bills he said "Take these two to my apartment as fast as you can, let them in and make sure the door locks when you leave. The girl is feeling very sick, and she should rest, very soon." He turned to face the man again, "It's your choice whether you trust me or not, but again, it's in your best interest to do so, I'm going to go see if anyone in the bar is a doctor."

John walked in just as things were settling down, he came up to the group which now included the girl who spoke to him. Tensions looked like they were flaring as one girl got shoved by another, and they shouted back and forth, but he wouldn't wait for them to settle it, "I apologize for cutting into whatever is the problem, but I really need to know if any one you are associated with a hospital. I really need to get to one, and not for myself" he spoke while looking across the line of people sitting at the bar.

"Take these two to my apartment as fast as you can, let them in and make sure the door locks when you leave. The girl is feeling very sick, and she should rest, very soon." The man said to the Driver. "It's your choice whether you trust me or not, but again, it's in your best interest to do so, I'm going to go see if anyone in the bar is a doctor." Kyros Nodded, opening the door of the Limo Jumping in with the Girl Still in his Arms. He sat down Holding her Still not wanting to put her down In case that would make her Situation Worse He braced for Turns and Looked down on her sadly. "Please, We're ready to go" Kyros said to the Driver who Drove like the Devil was Chasing them and Stopped the Limo at a Nice Apartment Building. Everyone Exited the Vehicle Quickly . The Driver Punched in a Code into a Pad and The door unlocked, They ran up the Stairs Effortlessly and into his exquisite Apartment room. "I have it from here" Kyros Quickly Ran into the Dinning room type area and Put the Girl on the Table Laid out. Kyros walked back to the Driver Handing him a Fifty dollar Bill and sending him on his way.He locked the door and began Pacing "Where is he?" Kyros was Obviously stressed Repeating the Sentences "Where is he?" and "What do I do?" Kyros walked back into the Dinning room and Began Pacing in front of The girl. He repeated the Sentences Four or Five times before Checking her Pulse again before Proceeding with his Slight Panic. A minute passed and He checked her Pulse and Listened if she was Breathing, All was good. He started calming down knowing that couldn't Help."She'll be okay... She's Fine now...I just gotta Keep a Good eye on her Pulse and Breathing." He spoke aloud Concerned for her and Angry at the Hunter for doing this. He pulled out a chair Putting his right foot onto it with his Leg bouncing.

"I Told Her She'd Be Fine, I Intend On Keeping That Promise"
He thought to himself Watching the Girl and Checking that she was Still Alive Basically Every minute.

Due to her unconsciousness, she made not a single noise while they traveled. Despite bumps and turns that may have made her do so, they were eerily non-existent. Once within the apartment and laid upon the table, she still laid still. Her breathing was labored, even causing wheezing here and there. Her pulse was weak, but clearly expressed her being alive.

Whilst unconscious, the girl began dreaming. The Hunter had kidnapped her again and decided punching her all along her body. She did not make a single sound as he had threatened her not to. The Hunter laughed uncontrollably, allowing every wound to seep blood. Run from meh, Woman! Ye kin'nae do tha' tae meh, Bit##!, followed by laughing that made his belly roll. All she did was allow tears to roll down her cheeks. Allowing him to hit her any way he pleased. Allowing him to speak any way that suited him.

Although unconscious, tears began to roll down her cheeks in the real world too. Quite visible to Kyros if he ever glanced at her face. It was obvious she was dreaming at this point.

Within the dream the Hunter had bent down to whisper in her ear, causing more tears in both her dream and in reality. The male stood up, picking her up by her hair and tossing her upon the ground a few feet from him. He bent down and tied her arms behind her back. At this point in her dream the Hunter turned into a skinny black-haired male with a smirk upon his face.

In reality the girl began sweating.

She recognized him from someone in her past. The male leaned over her and began to raise her shirt, hand grazing along one breast. He pulled in closer and licked her chest slowly.

Quickly the girl opened her eyes in reality and released a gasped, "Stop!". Upon that gasp, she realized she had awoken from her nightmare. Eyes closed again and audible sobbing continued. For some reason she did not open her eyes again, not decide to see where she was. She laid perfectly still other than the soft movements of her sobs. "Stop." She whispered gently. Still her breathing was labored, and in fact caused more tears. It was odd to see a person could weep so much, but she seemed to believe she had an endless supply.

"Stop!" Kyros jumped a little but he Remained his Stance. He stepped off the chair tucking it in Gently. His eyes crossed her Face Examining the Tears That would look Endless. His heart Ached, Kyros hated Seeing people Suffering who hadn't done anything wrong to deserve it. "W-Would you like a Glass of Water or Something?" He asked the Girl trying to keep her calm and comfortable. "Maybe a Pillow for Your head Or Tissues?" He was Still trying. "If there's anything I can do...Just tell me" " But You just need to stay calm, My friend is getting a Medical Expert to make sure your Okay and have no Life threatening Injuries From that man at the Bar, So if it turns out you do....Moving to much could Worsen it" He knew he had to refrain from telling her Her injuries because she Might Panic. "If you want we can Sit down on the Couch, But you just have to take it easy" He hoped he sounded reassuring and Trust worthy. "My names Kyros, and We're in my friends apartment right now, If you want to you can tell me your name. But if you don't want to you don't have to." He ended hoping she would respond with words even just asking for a Cup of water would give him relief. Kyros walked into the Kitchen in the next room Grabbing a box of tissues from the Cupboard. He returned to her side Putting the box of tissues down for her to take if she wanted.

Keeva got up off the ground, growling softly to herself. She watched Malice march up to the witch on the bar and turned to leave, instead she was met with a slap from her sister. "Learned to control it, had you?" Keira shook her head and noticed that the guy from earlier was now at the bar. She walked up to him, her face worried, "Do you know where the 2 people I was with went?" She was more worried that if Kyros took her to a hospital, A) they wouldn't make it and B) They'd ask questions.

Keeva snarled at her sister for slapping her before leaving. When she left, she felt her anger boiling and a bloodlust suddenly swept over her and she decided to hunt alone, she was in a mood to play with her food before she ate.

((I posted in the shrouded Earth because the 2 of them are in different places, or should I just have posted in the city?))

Ezra Underhill, Okada Sasaki, and Choi Jin-Sang

“You… you can see me…?” Ezra asked. However the others seemed a bit un-phased and unsurprised by this discovery. Erza was very confused, more so than before.

“Well… Yes.” Malice answered bluntly, shifting in her seat as though she’d just been asked if the ground was beneath them. Ezra was truly baffled however the others seemed a bit un-phased and unsurprised by this discovery. Erza was very confused, more so than before. He had no clue that ghosts could be seen by Vampires and Werewolves or most all other supernatural beings for that matter.

The sound of a blade and the gasps of someone being injured broke the conversation, causing Malice to swing herself around. "This man’s bleeding! Quickly! Someone get him a cloth!"

Ezra, Sasaki and Choi were confused as to exactly what was going on. “What’s going on?! What just happened?!” Ezra questioned in a panic.

Sasaki replied, “It looks like someone couldn’t stick to the rules and didn’t keep their damn attitude to his or her self. That human hunter has just been brutally slashed.” Sasaki was not at all happy to see the scene that unfolded before him. He didn’t drink freshly drained blood anymore, however when freshly drawn blood was in the vicinity, it was hard to keep himself under control, even though he looked so composed on the outside.

Choi was having a very hard time controlling his impulses. He could feel his whole body trying to lunge at the bleeding hunter. He didn’t want to but it was like his body had a will of its own. Sasaki quickly wrapped his arms around Choi’s waist to restrain him lightly. Choi was fighting to remain calm, a fight in which he won.

"Take these two to my apartment as fast as you can, let them in and make sure the door locks when you leave. The girl is feeling very sick, and she should rest, very soon." The man said to the Driver. "It's your choice whether you trust me or not, but again, it's in your best interest to do so, I'm going to go see if anyone in the bar is a doctor." A man said. He seemed to be a Vampire. "I apologize for cutting into whatever is the problem, but I really need to know if any one you are associated with a hospital. I really need to get to one, and not for myself" the man spoke while looking across the line of people sitting at the bar.

Choi was hesitant to speak up. After settling his initial reaction to the bleeding hunter he didn’t think it was a good idea for him to be near the man. He could ditch the urge to kill him that floated around in the back of his mind.

“Hmph, looks like you might still be able to continue your pointless career after all Choi.” Malice stated, tossing coins at the barman, her tone more sarcastic then before. Choi seemed to give a slightly startled jump at the sound of the suggestion.

She glanced over to the slumped form of the hunter who was still bleeding heavily upon the bar. “Seems like a terrible waste to me. All that blood and it’s just spilt on the floor, if it weren’t for the hunters we could always drag him outside and finish him off.” She mused, more to herself since Okada was not a mortal drinker and Choi seemed entirely against the idea altogether.

Sasaki nodded his head in agreement with Malice. He didn’t feed, he drank. However that didn’t stop him from feeling bad about wasted blood. Sasaki gave Choi a nudge of confidence. “You can do it love. Just focus on the life in need of saving and not his blood. You’ll be fine. I believe you will.” Sasaki encouraged Choi.

Choi finally spoke. “I’m a doctor. However I have no supplies here. It would be difficult for me to treat him without the proper equipment. Are you opposed to taking him to a hospital?” Choi asked as he stepped forward. He was beginning feel less threatened by the site of the blood, which was a good sign.
