The Joys of Life

[Claire De LeoBlanc]

Fading in and out of conciousness. Claire stood against a post in the stables. She had been bound up. Her elegant red dress ruined by her own blood. She looked down to her side and noticed her whip had been taken "Son of a..." she said and took a deep breath.

Three men stood before her, one carrying her whip "Silver...You know I heard a little story about you LeoBlanc's" The voice said with a deep base to his tone. He walked to her and dropped the whip's end to the ground. He took it and bound her up tighter.

She screamed in pain. "Fuck you!" she hissed before fading back out.

"Can we just finish her?" Another voice spoke. "Do what we brought you here for" A third chimed in. "Here, take this" The first man added as he pulled a thin long blade from a sheath at his hip, handing it to his comrade.

A young man, barely into adult hood took the blade, and pulled the hood from over his head. He stepped to Claire and looked her over before driving the blade deep into her stomach. "Good job!" the men called out to their trainee.

Claire spit blood as the blade slide in and out of her body quickly. She continued to spit it up as the men sat back and watched her as her life started to fade.

[Caski]

--Finishing her rounds on security, Caski made hir way around and about to the Castle, toward the Outside Pool nearby the Stables.

Shi was so silent,sweeping her feet like a ballet dancer; so carefully around the pebbles at her white, thigh-high latex boots. Hir strides wear almost mezmorizing, boots landing in exact placement, as if calculating while shi walked. Caski's blue-painted lips kept in a perch, their natural setting, then opened slightly as shi heard a scream.

The daemi slowly tilted hir head in the direction of such a whail. A testify of curiousity, only slightly though. Silk-like locks of deep blue bounced from their pig-tails as shi tipped her head up to look at the sky's bright stars then back toward the scream's direction. ::Hmm...:: shi thought in her mind, ::Why not..:: The shape-shifter persueded hirself and walked forward, onto the mysterious wonder.



Caski slowed hir pace as shi neared the stable doors, her arm rose to cover her nose as blood instantly hit her senses. Shi peeped through the doors, eyes instantly widening as she saw the beautiful woman kneeling wounded. The daemi furrowed hir 'brows angrily before she whisped like fog into the doors without a sound.

Forming solidly behind the two older men, hir six inch nails instantly extending into the back of there necks and draining blood directly from their cranium; the transparent nails quickly turning red as they acted like a 'straw' of sorts. A secretion of poison was fed into the men from the very tip of the nails; above the 'suction' hole.

Caski's eyes glowed a bright orange as shi continued doing so, watching the trainee, 'brow still furrowed. Black smoke rose from hir back before forming and stretching out, un-solid, liquid-like blotches of ten foot wings. To add to hir 'scary' effect.

[Claire De LeoBlanc]

The young ones knee's became weak and shaken. "Wh...wha..wh...what the FUCK ARE YOU!" He yelled as held the blade tightly in his hand, holding it between himself and the Daemi.

Claire spit more blood, her wound oozing the thick liquid out as well. She opened her eyes for a moment to see an orange blur. She smiled before blacking out once more.

The man slowly stumpled his way into a corner, he began crying hysterically. "Why did I listen? Why did I join this stupid shit?" He wailed. "Please..." He got down to his knees and begged. "I'll give you money, Horses, land, anything. I'll work for you....just please. I have a family"

"Ne...ro" Claire's voice cracked, her chest covered in thick red stickyness. Her eyes rolled to the back of her head as she faded out.

[Caski]

Shi slipped hir nails form the bodies and watched their now seemingly old, as if they aged a good 50 years, forms fall to the ground with a THUD.

Her eyes flashed as she batted them, finally returning into a core, hollow but, calming gray. Caski tipped hir head to the side slowly, letting the curls sway to one side as shi looked over the woman silently; not even paying attention to the human.

::You poor thing.:: hir voice as gentle as an angel's spoke into hir head as shi knelled down to place her nail to the wound. Shi dug it inside, ::Shh. This will only hurt for a second.:: shi cooed to the woman. Hir nail began to fed hir own blood into the woman's wound, quickly healing the wound over until it was a simple scar.

Shi tenderly plucked the nail from the others skin, quiet delicately. Sensing Nero's presence shi stood once more, folding her wings behind her, fluttering them as they turned white once more.

[Nero De LeoBlanc]

The loud cracks of lightning struck near the stables. The door flew off its hinges into the night sky. Soaked with rain, Nero stood in the door way. His face not visible, only the shine of his eyes, until lightning would strike again, showing the soaked angry 'pire.

"PLEASE!!!" The young man cried out "My Family....My Family, I have two sons, and a wife at home...please sir" He screamed out of fear, his clothing becoming wet between his thighs.

Nero seemed to take one step, but moved many. Now standing in front of the man. "You wanna speak to me about Family...now?" He growled, the anger welling up inside of him. A small trickle of blood began to flow from the man's nose. Nero smiled at him. The man knew that this would be his final moment in life.

Nero's hand rose slowly, the blood running down the mans lip seemed to flow like a fog into his hand. Nero's palm closed around it, his pupils took over his eye, becoming solid black. "Your sons will be bastard children, your wife a widow. And thats if I dont feel the need to kill them" the anger in Nero's voice could've said it all. He opened his hand as a small bead of iron flew rapidly from it. Piercing the mans neck. The blood squirting with every beat of his heart.

Nero took deep breaths, not being able to do so out of anger. He stared at his little sister in all of her horror. He he moved to her and reached to pull her chains away, it burned at his skin as he grasped it firmly and pulled at it. He winced in pain as it fell to the ground. He caught his sister as she went with it. He looked at his hands as his sister laid back into his arms. "She gonna be ok?" He asked, running his finger tip over her wound.

[Caski]

Hir lips rose in a happy smile, blue lips glossing over as she watched as Nero entered. Shi did so adore the handsome 'pire in a sort of brotherly way. The daemi's lips slowly arched and curled into a smirk as she watched the human die.

Shi rose to her feet and knelled over the human and stabbed her nail deep into his cranium. Hir eyes fluttered closed as the red liquid flowed into hir. Flashes of visions throughout the man's whole life presented themselves in her mind as she gained every bit of knowledge the being had.

Finally, shi rose to her feet again standing in front of them both. Hir angelic smile forming back onto her blue margins. ::She will be fine.:: shi spook to them both, as if omitted from her lips, but they did not move and it was not through telepathy. Hir head canted slowly.

::The serum from my blood shall have her healed quickly, when she rests then awake, shi will need to custom herself to her natural ways and feed of blood once more.::
