Let's See What You've Got {Frosty}

[†The Blood Countess†]

"Hey! Bitch!" A large man called. Along with him were two others. Not again. These fellows just didn't know how to leave her be did they? "I thought I told you guys to fuck off earlier. Don't you use your ears at all? Or your head for that matter." The last part was more so to herself.

"I don't appreciate what you did to my pal, Jimmy."

"He was going to friggen rape a girl. You think I was going to stand by and let such a dishonorable act take place? Sorry, bud, but it ain't in my nature. Now are you actually going to 'avenge' your poor, poor friend or leave me alone?"

"Vengeance sounds like a plan." The male pulled out a .45, aiming it directly at Reina. BAM! The bullet tore through her shoulder, sending blood splattering all over the ground behind her. With a soft thump she landed on the cement. "That takes care of that. Come on, boys. Let's go check on Jimmy."

But something stopped them in their tracks. Was that...laughter? The group turned around to find the female they just shot standing tall, eyes wide (and a strange silvery color), still laughing. "YOU FOOLS! YOU THINK THAT'S ENOUGH TO KILL ME?!"

Canines elongated, hunger rose in her throat. Vampiric instincts kicked in, chasing away the night. Oh they were terrified. Excellent. "Here I come boys...better watch out..."

One moment she was there and the next, one of the smaller fellows was lying on the floor clenching a torn open arm! WHOOSH! Another fell to the ground, writhing in pain from a stab wound. Now for the big one...

"What the...WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU?!"

Reina stared up at the male, grin spreading across her ageless features, "It's clear that I'm not human, isn't it? One might say I'm the stuff of legends...but no longer..." One hand reached up, seizing him by the throat, hoisting him off the ground, "...I'm a vampire, puny human. The name's Reina and I suggest you remember that...KNOW YOUR PLACE!" She threw him against a dumpster and with a loud WHAM! he was knocked out.

"Bastards...the....lot of them." Fuck. She had to drink blood and soon.

Frosty was wearing his black hoodie with the hood down over his face, his long auburn hair peaked out of the sides as he held his head down. "Shit shit shit shit fuck!, I did not mean to do that... I got to learn how to control these abilities otherwise I'm going to seriously hurt someone." He was walking fast, too fast for a human and he didn't even know he was doing it, a blurr casually followed behind him before he relised he was going a bit faster than what a human could go. Damnit he needed to get a grip otherwise he'd be spotted easily. It was bad enough he cut his lip open on his newly formed fangs, and he couldn't bite anything becuase it hurt them.

"I need To calm down that's all, just need to calm my mind and stop listening to what's going on inside people's heads." He was mumbling before bumping into another person and falling on his ass. "Son of a bitch! he exclaimed hitting the ground lightly but the concrete under his fist gave way and into a small little dent. Frosty looked down at it and then at his hand. His hand was perfectly fine, but the road wasn't. "I need to learn to control this stuff... Otherwise my martial arts days are done with..." he mumbled before relising he had bumped into someone.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina began to calm down now that the threat was gone. The silver colored irises returned to the soft brown color, fangs shortened and her breathing became quieter. Damn that wound of hers smarts. One hand rested over the bleeding injury when, without warning, someone bumped into her. "WHAAA?!" Reina fell forward but managed to stop herself with thanks to break falling. Thank God she took some martial art classes.

The female rolled over, ignoring the pulsing pain in her forearms, and looked at the male before her. For a moment she forgot about the fact that her wound hadn't closed up yet. Another vampire. Judging by his frustration... "Ah...a new vampire, eh? I remember that day...I believe that was two years ago to this day? Yep."

Reina stood and offered him a hand but realized it was covered in blood. "Er...sorry. Here." She gave him her other hand, "Name's Reina. Looks like you could use some help using those new powers of yours."

[sbs]

"Yeah I could... big time..." He mumbled grabbing her hand and standing up. He brushed himself off then pulling down his hood. He brushed the hair from his face revealing his saphire eyes. Wow, she was cute, really cute. Oh well Frosty was vamp now... He needed to learn how to control his abilities before anything. "Sorry about that... I was attack, and I blocked but I blocked a bit to hard and..." He was getting a little scared and was starting to shake. "There was a loud snap, then the guy's arm was missing, it went straight up in the air was doing like ten flips and blood was all on my arm and I... I freaked out and ran away." He explained waving his arms around as he was explaining.

"I'm extremely new at this... I was just turned last night... I have no clue how to deal with this... It's cool though becuase my manager at my job is a vamp too... So I don't feel so bad, he gave me a couple of months of paid vacation until I get my powers under control..." Frosty felt so weird, He could tell vampires out from normal people now, without having to guess, and every smell was heightened by like three fold of what it used to be. "Sorry... I'm like... Scared and excited all at the same time... This is all just so new to me. Everything that used to be pitch black to me is now like as clear as daylight. Plus I can tell vamps from humans now... I'm just freaking wigging out." He appologized giving a slight bow

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina helped the male up and then glanced over her shoulder towards the three others she beat up earlier. The big guy was still out cold and the other two were still writhing in pain. Would it hurt to just take one bite...? A few gulps...? That's all she'll need. That's all...Jaw opened in a jerky motion, saliva coating her fangs. Fortunately, Frosty snapped her out of it when he started panicking, "Woa! Woa slow down, tiger. Calm down. I know this is all very new to you but losing control will make matters worse. When a vampire loses control of himself, chaos ensues."

She placed one hand on his shoulder and lightly shook him, "Look. First off you need to keep yourself calm so you can think straight. Yes, when a vampire is 'born' in a sense, they can tell the difference. Our senses are heightened to an unbelievable level. However, I will tell you this, it is possible to control those new senses. It requires self training or seek help from another who has mastered this. You can dumb things down and only 'release' them so to speak when needed."

Her hand slid from his shoulder, "One moment if you please. Godda bandage this up and head on back to my place. If I don't drink blood soon I'll go berserk...again." Reina tore off the sleeve of her coat and wrapped it around the wound, binding it tightly.

[sbs]

Frosty shook his head, "I may not know how to control my powers but being in martial arts for almost nine years I do know how to dress wounds." He said untying the sleeve and ripped it in half, He cleaned the wound area with half of the sleeve. "First you need to clean it... No matter what." He stated before taking the cleaner sleeve half and dressing up her wound. "Bullet wounds aren't an easy thing to take care of, I've never had one but I have had a freind who did and that was bitch to try and fix up." He explained.

"Look, I know... you don't get this alot but... could you help me? I want to be able to control my abilities that way I don't hurt anyone innocent like I did a few minutes ago..." He asked as he stepped back a bit to look into her soft brown eyes, It was actually cool being able to look into another vampire's eyes without anything bad happening. "Besides... It's not just wanting not to hurt people for me wanting to learn to control my powers... I want to put a stop to Animus and his plans... Before everything I love and care for goes up into flames..." He said.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina raised her hands slightly, "Really. It's no fuss. As a vampire it matters now how one dresses a wound-" well he didn't listen. Off went her bandage and he proceeded to cleanse it for her. Reina did now a generous amount of martial arts, including some Praying Mantis Kong Fu, but dressing wounds...not within her area of expertise. "Thanks. I really appreciate it. Hopefully it will stem the blood flow." He then stepped back and asked for help.

"Did you just say...what I thought you said..." Her voice darkened, eyes bleeding to a silvery color. It was then one would realize who her master was: Nemui. The one thing she inherited from her master was the unique eye color, "That Vicious bastard? I'll help you until my dying breath. That arrogant male tried to kill a friend of mine. I've been looking into him and his little accomplices, trying to thwart their plans. Thus far things are looking up for our side."

Reina pocketed her hands and nodded at Frosty, "I'll teach you all I know and even take you to Grand Master Kang for more training. He taught me a lot of things and he's also a vampire. He might offer more wisdom than I but...basics I can teach with ease." She offered him a genuine smile and extended her hand, "You in?"

[sbs]

Frosty nodded, "Of course! I'm game anything to help me get control of this shit." He said and then pause, "I can help with Animus, my father's side of the family has had a couple run ins with him in the past." He explained. "Any information you need I can try and help you out with, but you'd have to go to my Grandmother. She's fought him like... several hundred times before. I just found out last night that she's been a vamp for seven hundred years... He stated then looked up and put his hand over his chin, "Which is really weird seeing as how everyone on my dad's side of the family came out human..." he said then shaking his head then extending his hand.

"I appreciate this alot, The name's Frosty by the way. Do you got a name?" He asked as he waited for an anwser. Hopefully she and her master could help him out with his powers. It would seriously be annoying to try and open a door and accedentally rip it off of the henges. Then agian that would be seriously funny to see, Frosty didn't look like much, yeah he finally noticed he bulked up and became built but he still didn't think much of himself.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina smiled once more, "The more help, the better. The last thing we need is for a ruthless vampire like him to take over the world. Not to mention this one fellow named Shadows who had the idea of exploding two hundred pounds of explosives in a hospital. Or something like that." She shrugged, "Very well. Let's get go-" Reina vision blackened briefly followed by a sudden dizzy spell.

"Aw fuck. Hang on. Looks like I've got no choice." Reina got on her knees beside the unconscious male, "Sorry fellow but you left me no choice. Your own damned fault." Fangs elongated, jaw opening wide. In her canines went, hot blood welling forth into her dry mouth. Oh thank God! Her entire body relaxed as she took what was needed from her unfortunate victim.

After a moment or two, she let go and snatched up the remains of her sweater, using it to wipe her mouth and chin, "Sorry about that. I know it's not pleasant to witness."

[sbs]

Frosty had his hoodie pulled over his eyes as she dropped to her knees to feed on the guy. As she got up and spoke he turned his head to her with a smile, "Huh? I didn't see anything." He joked as he lifted the hood off his head. Something was misplaced, something was gone... he could feel it. He didn't seem nervous around this cute girl, then agian come to mention it he didn't feel nervous around Scarlet after she turned him. Was it... It had to be.

"I... Don't really feed from living or dead things... I just can't bring myself to it... I have water bottles filled with blood at my place. That's how I feed..." he said, it was then he took time to listen to his own voice. It didn't seem deep and cracked like before, but instead it was deep and smoothed out. Like it was almost harmonic, it was pretty cool. His lips seperated and his fangs scraped agianst his lips. "Ow! Son of a..." He yelped quitely as he grabbed his mouth.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina wiped her lips clean before she started laughing. Ah, a sense of humor, even a small amount of it, was welcoming to the vampiress. "E-e-e-exactly. You saw nothing whatsoever." Reina tossed Frosty a playful wink and rolled up the damaged sweater. Fortunately she had plenty of these in her closet so losing one wasn't a big sacrifice.

"...well...Frosty...one of these days you'll have to drink blood from living or dead. I accepted that right away and took to getting blood when I had need of it. Had I not taken from Mr. Brainless over there, I would have fallen into a state of bloodlust. When I'm like that...things aren't pretty." She forced a grin but it was replaced with a shocked expression when Frosty started yelling.

Face screwed up in an expression that read "O-o-o-o. That's godda hurt!" "Yeeeeah. Er. I had to deal with that too. Sucks don't it?"

[sbs]

"Mmhm. He nodded as he removed his hand from his lips. They weren't bleeding thank god, he was seriously getting tired of feeling dried up blood on his lips, it felt so weird. He had been used to getting small splits from his lips being chapped or busted from contact sparring and fights but never cuts. "I'm sorry I never introduced my self Rei, The name's Frosty." He said giving her a slight bow. It was a little weird but then agian he'd be considered weird anyways.

It was then that his phone started rining. He opened it and anwsered. "Hello? Oh... hey... Why are yelling at me?! You broke up with me you bitch, don't fucking start yelling at me becuase of your idiot mistake." Fustration was growing in Frosty's tone and an emerald color started swirling into his eyes drowining out the saphire. "Look damnit! Dont freaking call no more damnit you hear me! bye!" He slammed the phone closed and squeezed it in his palm, unfortunatley with the lack of control he was suffering from the phone was crushed. Frosty looked at it in shock then chucked it through a wall. "Son of a bitch! Now I need a new phone... Damnit..." He shook his head as his eyes returned to their normal Saphire color.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina chuckled, "Don't worry, love. You'll get used to it. I know how to avoid cutting my lip open with these canines of mine. But damn, it's hard flossing with these things, I swear to God. They sever the floss every time I pass by it." She gave him a large grin, "Oh sorry. You introduced yourself earlier. How rude of me. Nice to meet you, Frosty. Name's Reina."

It was then his phone started ringing. What the young adult didn't expect was for him to react in such a manner! After his little episode was over and done with, Reina scratched the back of her neck, "Well damn. Remind me to never piss you off, Frosty." Short tempers were never good for a vampire to have but she was one to talk...sometimes. Most of the time she's able to tame whatever temper she had.

"I have a spare phone at my place if you want it. I have no use for it and it should accept the card...if that wasn't crushed too..." Fangs protruded forth as she sucked in her lower lip. Rather funny look she had on her face right now.

[sbs]

Frosty shook his head, " It's just that one person, my ex." he said simply then looking at her, "I got a spare sim card at home with a different number incase the card got ruined somehow. Good thing I plan ahead huh?" he said laughing as he scratched the back of his head. He laughed at her little joke, "You'd do that? I normally use the phone to get into contact with a few friends and family and my manager." He smiled a bit and then started to look around, "So, who's house are gonna head to?" he noticed a glimmer in the unconsious guy's pocket.

He rushed over to it and pulled out the car keys. A sly grin came to his face, "Better question..." He turned and jingled the keys, "Wanna walk or drive?" he asked with a wide smile on his face. He walked back towards Reina and pressed the unlock button on the keys, a silver sedan's lights blinked and the car's horn beep. "So, you in?" he asked with the grin still no his face.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina sighed, "Ah yes...the exes. Don't even get me started. Word of advice? Don't date a rocker who's obviously stuck up. They care more about themselves rather than others. Pisses me off. One ended up walking out of the relationship with a bruised pride and a few missing teeth. Prick." She snarled to herself but quickly regained her composure, "Sorry...and driving sounds fine but we'll park it a few blocks from my place. Don't want to risk anything."

Reina got into the car and once Frosty fired it up, she immediately went for the radio. The knob turned, numbers spun until she found a song that she was familiar with. Devil Driver's "Digging Up The Corpses." It was about halfway through but she didn't care. "Hope you don't mind me singing along with this. I haven't practiced in a while."

One thing Reina didn't have was a fear of showing off her musical talents. She was on stage a lot and had to get used to this. Right when the chorus started up? Reina began to throat sing along with the song. Holy shit! She sounded like the lead singer only an octave or so higher! How many females can do that? Arch Enemy had her own style, yes...but that's beside the point.

After two minutes the song ended, not one note was off and not once did the female hesitate. Talk about skill. "Phew! Needed that. The band hasn't gotten together for a few weeks. Let's see what else there is."

Country music...? What the...
