Azalea
"You needn't burn eye holes in the back of my head sweet girl, but thank you for being compliment." Julius mused and Azalea had to clench her fists to keep from spitting at him. 'Calm. Peaceful lotus blossom floating along the water.' she thought, trying to remember the lessons of holding her temper that had been drilled into her as a girl. 'Gentle winds, a summer breeze across the fields of flowers.'
Julius held his hand out for Melita to take, which she did, distinctly not offering one to Azalea, which she would have had trouble taking anyways so it was probably for the better. Then the chilled vampire man lead them downstairs though a long hallway and guiding them into a large empty room. Azalea delicatly took a seat beside Melite as Julius walked out again, leaving them alone.
Straining her ears to hear, Aza could pick up on the faint sound of Julius' voice. "...My dear, I think its about time for a gathering in the hall. Would you be a dear and escort these three into the hall?" he purred and Aza felt herself shutter. How many people were stuck here? How many more were to arrive? How many vampires were under this roof? She tried to suppress those thoughts and listen, but immediately regretted it when she heard what Julius said next. "Mine are waiting patiently... What's say we get to know each other before we dine?"
Aza stopped easedropping when she heard a timid voice speak up, "M-miss Azalea? Are you ok?" asked Melita softly, looking at her intently. Aza managed to work up a small smile. "Yeah, I'm fine." she murmured, then added on an encouraging note, "Don't be scared. We're going to get out of this somehow."
As other people, and vampires, began to file in Aza went quiet, examining them each to find out their strengths and weaknesses. It was beyond Aza why they had all gathered here, but it didn't matter. It was her responisbility as a Slayer to destroy all these vile creatures and free all the humans.
