Introduction
Please refer to the Wikia if you need to: http://underworld.wikia.com/wiki/Main_Page
First, it's information time.
Vampires:
Appear: Pale, eye teeth are distinctly elongated and pionted compared to an average human (they lengthen to fangs when the vampire 'transforms'), they have reflections and shadows, and are known to be quite attractive. Vampires, from the Royal Family, eyes are known to change to either become golden, red, or a bright blue in colour -- this is how they are distinguished from the other vampires.
Weaknesses:
Sunlight is fatal and so is being staked and decapitated.
Some vampires cannot swim which makes this fatal to those few.
Powers:
Immortal.
Unnatural strength, speed, senses and healing.
They have limited mind powers and only through drinking blood.
Some vampires (mainly the royal family and their guard -- who are nobles) have other abilities but this must be cleared by me.
Lycans
Appear: Seem to be more attractive with slightly longer and sharper canine teeth; than an average human.
Weaknesses:
Silver -- We shall call it an 'allergy'.
^ Which is their largest weakness.
Powers:
Immortal.
Unnatural strength, speed, senses and healing.
Ability to change into a wolf at will -- eye colour usually changes upon transforming.
-------------------------------------------------------
For many millennia Vampires and Lycans (also known as Lycanthropes) have been at war against each other. The cause of this war has been forgotten through out the years but each being from each race knows that the battle must be continued to be fought.
There is a Royal Family from each race and each member of the family is protected at all times. They are known as the King, Queen and Princes and Princesses, though this can change due to how many children and what genders they are. They are also known as the most pure of their race.
Vampires mainly stay at Ordoghaz Manor, near Szentendre: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/e/eb/Ordoghaz.jpg
But there are many Vampire Safe Houses scattered all throughout Hungary.
Lycans stay either at the lair underground, possibly under Budapest(?), or live as humans.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Vampires have a series of laws, called the Covenant, that decrees some important things that every vampire must know and remember.
Some of these laws include:
- Vampires are to conceal themselves from humans at all costs unless to turn them.
- Vampires are not allowed to drink human blood directly.
- Vampires are not allowed to fraternize or interact with Lycans in any way.
- Vampires are not allowed to delve into the past.
- Breaking these laws require a judgement from the Royal Family.
-------------------------------------------------------
The Lycans have two mains laws; the third is only if the others are broken.
- Lycans must conceal themselves from humans at all costs.
- Lycans are not allowed to bite and change humans.
- These can be punishable by death, if broken, or however the Royal Family decides.

The Story So Far... Write a Post » as written by 5 authors

OOC: He's only wounded, he won't die. So don't commit suicide or anything, and please don't make it so the shot kills her.

"Countess," she heard a deep voice call behind her. She wiped the smile off her face and turned around, seeing it was Kharne she bowed quickly. "What are you doing out this late? I thought you'd be asleep?"
"Oh, just restless from the traveling. I wanted to stretch my legs," Carmen said completely calm.
"Walk with me, we need to talk," Kharne said, he placed his hand lightly on the small of her back directing her towards his office. Carmen followed silently, not wanting to be rude. His office was small, a mahogany desk was in the middle taking up most of the space, a single wooden chair on the side they were on and a large swivel warm brown leather on the other side. Kharne walked to the leather chair letting Carmen slip gently down into the wooden one.
“So what’s the discussion going to be about this time, my lord?” Carmen asked.
“Why you came,” Kharne answered.
“My men and I are backing out of the war. No more fighting or pain, we just want to live peacefully,” Carmen said. She stood up just as gracefully as when she sat, “That’s all”. Kharne’s face grew stern and he stood up carefully and slowly.
“If you’re not going to help then you can’t stay here,” he said his voice trembling slightly with his temper.
“I was also hoping to persuade you to back out of this war as well,” Carmen said, she eyed him cautiously.
“You will never persuade me of such treason,” he spat, Carmen wiped the spit off with a finger.
“I will one day,” Carmen said, she stepped out of the office going to the front door along the way her servant ran up to her and bowed.
“Embale mis cosas, nos marchamos,” Carmen said, her temper simmering as she ordered her servant to pack her things. The servant bowed again and left, Carmen walked out the door and into the streets above, going nowhere in particular just walking. Soon she found herself outside of the vampire’s manor. She walked up to a part of fence by the front gate; she sighed and leaned against it ever so casually. She knew they weren’t there, she could tell because birds and other night creatures could be heard running around, unlike if the vampires were home when it was dead silent.

Carmen just nodded in response, realizing that everything had gotten tense, like a storm cloud blowing in quickly.
"Did everything go as planned?" she asked, her voice giving away the fact that she was concerned about Ibram and Alexandrea's safety, though she could care less who knew that she had emotions, after all she was for the most part a human anyways so she should have emotions. The general smiled lightly and nodded, the tight squeeze that was building in her chest released and she found breathing had become easier. "Good," was all she said, she then left and headed towards the library where she would wait for Ibram and Alexandrea, just to see for herself that everything was all right. Because even though the general said everything went well, Carmen still had her doubts.

She quickly found Alexandrea sitting next to Ibram, clinging to him tightly and looking absolutely terrified. She walked over to her, placing both her hands on her shoulders, letting Alexandrea know that she was there for her and Ibram.
She bent down and whispered in her ear, "He's going to be okay. I know Ibram and he's a fighter, he'll be fine". Her words she hoped were comforting Alexandrea better than they were comforting herself.

At the sound of a groan Alexandrea's worried eyes turned from her fiance, who was now laying on the ground, to the Vampire Guard who now held a crossbow with a wooden bolt aimed right at her. She almost smiled at the irony and just as it was fired she moved at the last possible instant to dodge it and made sure to stay at his side.
The Vampire Princess, who had now returned to normal, sat beside her fiance and held his hand tightly as her eyes flicked from each person who came nearby. Whenever her gaze came upon Ibram she tried to muster all the love in her eyes as well as hide her fear for him, regardless of being told he would be alright.
When Carmen came, Alexandrea almost breathed a sigh of relief at the sound of the woman's voice. Strangely, as she had only said a very little to her, it had comforted the younger female tremendously and she looked to her with a small and somewhat forced smile on her lips. Though her words came out quiet and careful. Pleading.
" Don't leave."

" Don't. You'll only hurt yourself more."
Her eyes showed exactly how concerned she was and possibly even a trace of fear, as she felt her heart begin to race all over again.
" Trust you to get injured just after getting engaged," She sighed as she shook her head, her small smile returning as she tried to joke. She knew for a fact that it had failed but, hey, she had tried.

"You should be helping Ibram, not just standing here," she hissed, crossing her arms. The nurses looked up to find a very angry lycan, who had a great deal of power herself. Seeing this they looked scared and could barely move. Carmen, exasperated at seeing them too scared to move while Ibram was badly wounded, shoved them out of the way grabbing some pain medicine, hot water, and herbal tea. When she got back to Ibram she ripped off one of her sleeves, quickly soaking it in the pain medication. She bent down and put it over top of Ibram's wound.
Carmen looked up at Alexandrea, quickly saying, "Hold this to his wound with pressure, till he says he can't feel anything, then rinse it in the water and hold it again to the wound. This will help it heal. The tea she be poured on after about a half hour. ,Tengo que ir tienen cuidado del negocio, antes de que algún otro idiota haga asuntos peores" she said not realizing she had changed to Spanish. She got up and walked over to where the general was, with the vampire king and his other daughter.
"¿Cuál es su plan para estos dos? ¿Planee lanzarlos en el río?" she sarcastically asked the general, annoyance in her voice. She knew what was going to happen to them, she was just so pissed off at everyone to care. The general looked at her confused, she sighed frustrated at nobody doing anything, while their future kind and her nephew was in complete pain. "Learn spanish," was all she said. The general seeing she was in no mood for, to her, others' stupidity did the best he could to interpret what she said.
"They will be heading to your manor in Madrid, Señora," the general said cautiously, using a little of the Spanish he knew. Carmen, ignoring the general and his weak answer walked over to the vampire King.
"Usted se quedará con. Y usted seguirá mi regla sin duda. ¿Es entendido esto?" she asked him, rage flaming in her coffee brown eyes.
OOC:
"Tengo que ir tienen cuidado del negocio, antes de que algún otro idiota haga asuntos peores" : I have to go take care of business, before some other idiot makes matters worse.
"¿Cuál es su plan para estos dos? ¿Planee lanzarlos en el río?" : What is your plan for these two? Plan on throwing them in the river?
"Usted se quedará con. Y usted seguirá mi regla sin duda. ¿Es entendido esto?" : You will be staying with. And you will be following my rule without question. Is that understood?

" How are you feeling?" She asked quietly as the hand that was not pressing the cloth to his blood covered torso moved to gently hold Ibram's cheek in her palm. Concern filled her usually calm and icy eyes, making her appear mismatched as the look in her eyes did not in fact match her actual expression. She ignored that Carmen had just walked over to where her father and sister were currently being carefully watched.
William smiled at the woman that now stood before him, barely glancing at his eldest daughter as he did so. His 6 foot 6 inches towwering over her as his silver eyes stared at her in his usual analytical manner. Arlena kept her facial expression blank for fear of saying or doing anything that would anger her father further. After all, she had understood what Carmen had said, both vampires had, and knew he wouldn't be anymore pleased by the orders than she was. The woman was a filthy dog anyways. Who was she, a regular consort, to order blood royalty about?!
The man kept his expression seeming peaceful, kind, but there was underlying tension and anger also barely managed to be hidden below his slight amusement. Unknowingly, he voice his daughters opinions.
" You are ordering me around?" He asked lazily as his silver gaze moved over the guards surrounding him and his daughter. This was Arlena's chance to speak now, she knew it and she took it.
" Why should my father and I obey you? You won't kill us." She spoke carefully but with her own authority as her gaze moved to find her sister, Alexandrea bent over her fiance. Her cerulean gaze becoming pointed as she knew the other woman had realized where her stare had gone, " She won't let you and if you really did kill us. You risk losing her trust and starting a whole new war."
// Sorry for any spelling errors, I can edit them later today but it's very early in the morning and I'm apparently very tired. Sorry again.

Changing back to English she replied, with her eyes narrowing, "I may not be able to kill, yes, but trust me there are far worse things that could happen to someone who isn't careful. And not obeying my rule would be a foolish thing indeed". She looked at the general and nodded a farewell before walking over to her servant who had all her things packed and stacked around her.
"Usted está listo a ir mi señora," the servant said shyly, noticing the stern look on her Countess's face. At seeing her servant so small looking, Carmen's face and overall attitude calmed, like the eye of a storm.
"Podemos ser detenidos un poco más largos. Quiero quedarme hasta que yo sepa para cierto Ibram es bien," Carmen answered, looking back over her shoulder at Ibram's crippled form being covered by Alexadrea's care. Noticing that her Countess had grown solemn, she brushed her arm lightly. Carmen gave a small smile to her servant before pulling her into a hug. "Yo sería perdido sin usted, Abella. Quiero que usted sepa esto," Carmen said, closing her eyes, letting the warmth of her servant's body flow into her.
OOC:
"Usted está listo a ir mi señora" :You are ready to go my lady
"Podemos ser detenidos un poco más largos. Quiero quedarme hasta que yo sepa para cierto Ibram es bien" : We may be detained a little longer. I want to stay until I know for certain Ibram is okay.
"Yo sería perdido sin usted, Abella. Quiero que usted sepa esto" : I would be lost without you, Abella. I want you to know that.

William was not in the mood to comfort, or even play at it, he only wanted to kill the Lycans.. And punish his youngest for pulling this stunt of hers. That's exactly what he thought of it too. A stunt. A childish attempt to get attention.

Every now and then Carmen's eyes would wander over to where the vampire king sat. He looked bored and emotionless, though she knew one thing for sure about him, he wasn't emotionless, no one could be, but she didn't know which emotion he was feeling. His eldest daughter stood beside his side trying to catch his attention and most likely be comforted herself, but she had no such luck. At one point the King's eyes met up with her's, Carmen kept her gaze, not embarrassed or frightened that he had caught her looking. Her eyes, that were normally a sunny dark brown full of energy and joy, were now dull with sadness. She slowly looked back to Ibram, she could tell from here that his chest was rising and falling at a normal rate, a good sign, he was healing.

The new Queen of the Vampires, as she would be known as soon, disliked how the look in her sisters eyes had made her feel even somewhat better. She knew it was only anger and fear that brought the dark portion of the emotion satisfaction from inside her heart, especially regarding Arlena's fear.
Arlena had felt her sisters gaze on her and had raised her head to glare at her, unknowingly giving away her fears as she did so. She moved closer to her father and sat in the chair that had been brought beside him, lowering her head into her hands as she did so. She felt utterly and completely defeated.. For now.
William sighed as he stared, unflinchingly, back into the deep saddened depths of Carmen's eyes. Inside his heart, if he had had one and if it was beating, he might have felt guilty or perhaps even ashamed of everything he had done. But he didn't and so; he didn't. He still thought it was all he could have done, especially at the time when the war had begun and such. He didn't even mind that he had raised both his children in an environment that was definitely not well suited for children to be raised, especially not Vampire children regardless of their durability.
His daughters were not as strong as they thought, one was breaking down right beside him while the other worried for her beloved's sake as the Lycan suffered his way as his body healed. Sooner or later, Alexandrea would break again and William would be there to watch his daughter fall and take up his throne again. Nothing would get in his way, he would make sure of it.
