Turn This Up A Notch {{OpEN}}

[serasalcaste]

Seras shook her head lightly when Isi asked her if the girl wanted anything also, and smiled. She knew it was strange for her to be asked when of course she was paying, but a quick smirk hid her ill thoughts. Afterall, her master could have anything and the vampire would oblige in any way possible, no questions asked.

Even though she was simply in her hotel room now, Seras went into the bathroom after putting her purse down along with Isi's boots and looked in the mirror. Somehow, no matter how hard she tried though she could always see the worst parts of her makeup, or that she had been crying when others couldn't hope to notice it through the layers of thick eyeliner. Seras smiled and made a cute face before finally giggling to herself while she fixed her hair with more hairspray and a comb. However, she realized maybe Isi had heard her and immediately shut her mouth tight.

A few minutes later Seras stood by Isi and smiled.

"Miss, if you'd like a seat I can help you off with your boots, yes?"

Her accent had again picked up a tad without her realizing and surely she would get hell for it.

§ Isi laid out on the spaceous bed. Everything was so nice in the room! Isi was adoring the Palace. Now if the room service arrived in the next fifteen seconds she would adore them even more. She rolled over on the bed, helping herself to the second milk chocolate mint bar. It was heaven! Isi would have to pick up a pack (or two) on the way home. She'd burn off the calories with ease running (or hunting).

"My boots? No. I always keep them on."

§ Her boots were comfortable and they were pretty. Not to mention, they made running a whole lot easier. It was hard to climb a fence with gym shoes. But Isi could hop a fence with ease if she was wearing a pair of boots. It was just the way the world ran. Isi kicked her feet up in the air stretching out. It was then she realized that Seras feared her. Great! End sarcasm.

"Say Seras. I have to ask you something. . . "

[/color][/blockquote][/size]

[serasalcaste]

"Aww, well that's -kay, miss. As long as you're comfortable."

Seras responded with a beautiful smile and casually glanced towards the little glass bowl sitting beside the bed. Isi had surely noticed it already. She too had a habit for fancying them herself. Seras giggled. She watched as her master flung herself atop the bed but turned away a bit in fear when she raised her boots.

"Yes, Miss Isi? Of course."

Seras was more than willing to answer and comply to any whim of the lady, and sat patiently waiting for her to told something.

§ This was something Isi had never done before. Except, well, for once. She had never chatted to anyone about vampires before. She had once attended a Hunters convention, but that had been a very long time ago. Hunters were parnoid by profession and full of triger fingers. That meant that they worked alone. And everyone had wanted to face the door.

§ How would Isi start to chat up Seras about vampires and werewolfs? Isi ever so much wanted Seras to be her handmaiden. Isi would be Bruce and Seras would be Alfred. A match maid in heaven. But how to begin a conversation that didn't end in a white padded room? Isi would be totally helpless in a white padded room. . She could just imagine human servants being stationed there to spot for people who had gone crazy . . .

"Do you ... do you believe in monsters?"

§ That was how Isi would start the conversation. She had been playing with the mint foil wrapping but as she stared now in the depths of Seras' eyes, she looked dead on serious. Her eyes narrowed and she held her breath, waiting for a reply.

[serasalcaste]

As soon as Isi's mouth spoke the word monster, thoughts of a past lover flooded into her mind. She remembered how in love she had been with him and how wonderful it felt to be alive everyday. His taste still hung on the tip of her tongue from time to time. She knew it all too well. But more than anything, he had thrown her away and the vampiress knew how terrible she must have been to him.

"I-I...."

Seras could barely even bring words through her trembling lips. Her body was shaking now and the look of an immense fear was in her eyes. She shut her eyes tight trying to pretend everything would go away, including the tears she felt welling up in them. However, when Seras opened her eyes again, Surely Isi may have caught a glimpse of its colour shifting from their azure to a brilliant magenta. Seras immediately closed her eyes and wiped the tears away.

"I-Im... heaps... Sorry"

With that, the torment little girl lost her nerve completely and fled to the bathroom. She was sobbing heavily. Her hands were shaking so much she couldn't even barely get her drugs out of the drawer by the sink. She ended up dropping all the syringes and the bag of heroin to the floor. Seras grew very much desperate to forget everything. All these thoughts went through her head. She just knew Isi would despise her for what she was, just like everyone else was. If she knew Isi normally killed her kind for fun, surely Seras wouldn't have fled and instead tried to be a better friend. Maybe Isi could finally do her in. But right now, all Seras though about were things that were detrimental to her health.

§ Isi stared deeply at Seras. Her eyes were giving away nothing. Not even her lips. They hadn't curved up into a grin or anything. They were remarkably neutral. But from the way Seras was talking ... Isi knew. Not that Seras was a vampire but that she knew what Isi was talking about. Vampires roamed the world, spreading their filth.

"Hey. Where are you going?"

§ Isi shouted as Seras locked herself into the bathroom. If Isi got up then she would try the handle. And when she shouted for Seras to open the door and it wasn't opened in the next half a second Isi knew she would shoot it open. And she would hit Seras by mistake of course since she wouldn't know Isi had quite a few guns on her.

"Fine. Stay in there for all I care!"

§ Isi muttered to herself, not knowing Seras could hear her. Isi heard a knocking on the door and assumed it was room service. Grabbing her purse she walked to the door and checked through the small hole. It was indeed room service. She opened the door and let the men with the trays enter. She tipped them each a hundred dollars and paid the bill for the food in cash.

[/color][/blockquote][/size]

[serasalcaste]

After trying her best to keep her hands from shaking no more, Seras finally took in some drugs. She wore a more happier look on her face. The pain was still in her eyes though. When she opened her eyes, she didn't want to even look in the mirror when the vampiress stood up. She knew they were now red. Seras could feel it. And her fangs were growing in little by little, but she did her best to hide it behind her lips. To anyone who has seen it before, they would know what the girl was in an instant.

Seras pulled her sleeves down over her arm. She missed a vein the first few times and there was a bit of blood left on the inside of her elbow. Disgusted with herself, the girl tossed the used syringes in the waste basket and cleaned up after herself thoroughly. She slapped herself hard and smiled. It made her come more to her senses even though the sadness was still in her eyes.

The vampiress took a deep breath and went back out into the room after hearing room service having come. She felt horrible that Isi must have paid them and promptly went to her purse and pulled out countless 50 and 100 dollar bills. She pretended like nothing happened at all and handed the stack of bills to her master.

"Im heaps sorry about this, Miss Isi. Here."

It was very much more than Isi had spent, but Seras felt it was neccesary. She forgot for a moment and after smiling she made the mistake of opening her eyes. They were vibrant and pinkish. Her fangs poked through her precious lips. However, the girl didn't look frightened of death, or dangerous at all.

§ Isi was wondering what exactly Seras was doing in the bathroom. Perhaps she was ridden with embarrassment. It was sort of sad that the only place Seras could hide was the bathroom. It sort of reminded Isi of … No, she wouldn’t think of the old days when she lived with a family. She would not think of such misfortune! Such days were steadily behind her and she would never go back and she would never relieve the moments! Isi would not relive the moments of hiding in the bathtub with the door locked, the only place to just get away from it all.

§ She poured the complimentary champagne into the empty glass. Quite sure that it wasn’t as complimentary as it might seemed. The bill was probably being taken out of something somewhere, perhaps the overpriced food. The same thing at Outback Steakhouse or Logan’s would have probably cost 3/4ths less of the bill Isi just paid. She sipped the wine delicately as one would at a wine tasting; knowing full well that alcohol wasn’t her thing. If she drank this half full glass of wine she would be tipsy and bordering on drunk.

§ The onion rings were delightful in their dipping sauce and Isi managed to turn on the flat screen television. She ever so despised the news channel but thought to give it a watch anyhow. She was secure in her knowledge that news people knew of the existence of vampires and werewolves yet covered it up. She still hadn’t decided if that was a good thing or a bad thing. Isi would welcome the day if all the humans of the world became hunters and hunted down the abominations like an angry old fashioned armed mob! That brought a smile on her face and she thought, Why Not? to taking another sip, larger this time to that of not the teaspoon as earlier but a tablespoon.

“The wine is delightful. Cheap. But alright.”

§ That is if you thought about an eighty-eight dollar bottle of wine as cheap. Isi had sampled wines that cost up to eight hundred dollars a bottle. She wasn’t much a wine person but when fine dining it was expected of her to sample different wines with different courses. If only alcohol liked her better. . . . Isi called to Seras in the bathroom wondering what it would take to coax the girl out. Isi wasn’t about to beg anyone to come out of anyplace, especially anytime soon!

§ Isi hadn’t heard Seras come out of the bathroom but she was pleased as bills were thrusted into her hands. Isi had paid with twenties but Seras had handed her fifties and hundreds. The bills would be very annoying to cash in but it was possible! Isi had once been to a convience store whereas a man ahead of her tried to hand the clerk a ten dollar bill and she proceeded to hold it up to the light for at least five minutes! Meanwhile Isi was tapping her foot impatiently and wondering whether or not to lecture the woman on counterfeiting money and to prove that thus ten dollar bill was not a fake.

“Jesus Christ!”

§ Isi shouted as she glanced upon Seras’ face. The bed unfortunately was not the one on the television commercial that was now playing. Where one could place a glass of wine on it and jump, leaving the wine turned right side up and liquid safe nestled inside. As Isi jumped up on the bed all the food that she had placed neatly on the blanket spilled over, as did her glass of wine. The mattress and blankets would be ruined unless there was some secret stain removal way Isi didn’t know about. But then again, she took her clothing to a drycleaners and had tons of outfits – Though most of them were the same black leather.

““You’re . . . I trusted you!”

§ Isi was furious with herself. She had trusted this girl. She was about to lead the girl to her own home. She was going to kill the driver of the car and the men or man he worked for! All of it to save Seras. And now. . . . Now. . . . Now she found out that the girl she was going to bring home was evil herself! Was this some sort of trick? Was Isi being set up? – Was Seras spent to spy on Isi? And how … how … the sun! And then Isi remembered that the sun had coolly gone down when they left the alleyway. Was that why Seras had been there in the first place? She had been stuck and … and … and….

“WHO DO YOU WORK FOR?”

§ Isi did an acrobatic move something from earlier days of gymnastics. She flew off the bed, did a back flip into the air, and landed perfectly on the ground. And like a bad habit she had her gun drawn. It was a glock, one of the newest models. It could hold one magazine at a time. But each magazine held twenty-five bullets. You could tell the gun has a silencer on it if you knew what a silencer looked like. It was the dark gray addition to the black gun. And it was pointed straight at Seras.

§ Was Isi being set up? Did someone know she was a hunter? She gritted her teeth. She could hold her position up to twenty-four hours but it was more enjoyable to be holding such a strained position while listening to music. She had killed off her enemies. She couldn’t think of a single person who knew she was a hunter except. . Ana! The words almost escaped her lips but she caught herself in time. Was it even possible Seras didn’t know? Why would a vampire befriend a human like this unless she was going to try and eat her later!

[serasalcaste]

Seras was frightened nearly to the point of insanity. Tears were flowing down her cheeks that she couldnt stop no more, and she didn't know what to do. Isi had given her the only hope for stability in her life and it was all going down the drain. The little vampiress was shaking heavily, barely able to stand. She noticed the plates of food having soiled the sheets and the spilt wine only made her think more of her vampiric ways. It disgusted her to no end. And now, because of what she was, she felt she was losing everything that meant something to her again. She had almost begun to really enjoy her newer life because of Isi. But now, it was ruined.

"I...I-I work for you... miss?."

She was barely able to speak with her lips trembling. Seras felt so cold and unwanted right then. There was probably only one other situation that could have made her feel worse in her life, but had she known what truly happened to her lover surely Seras wouldn't be living anymore.
The look in her eyes was beyond sad. They were so empty and told anyone looking into them how hurt and confused she was. The girl was lost. All because of what she was, Seras knew she apparently couldn't be trusted anymore and the lady she had grown to fancy obviously hated her as much as she did. Seras couldn't stop the tears coming out of her eyes but she barely even noticed them anymore. She didn't know what else to do or say, but her self hatred grew like no tomorrow. Right then, she couldn't possibly hate being a vampire any more.

"I-I... I'm heaps sorry... I...I..."

No matter what Isi thought, it was no doubt she would hate Seras for what she was. Afterall, it was her job. Seras had once or twice noticed the light scent of gunpowder on Isi, something she only ever knew of from her Hiro. It all made sense to the vampire now. She was okay with the notion that Isi surely killed her kind, but just wished she wasn't one. The little vampire just wanted to remain as a slave. Someone useful to Isi. No matter, how little freedom or life she would have been limited to. It made her happy. How would Isi ever believe this naiive girl honestly didn't know that vampires typically only befriend humans to consume them later. In truth, the girl had only ever thought of biting Isi but once, and it was out of lust rather than hatred and desire to kill and feed. What Isi didn't know is that Seras cursed herself every waking moment for ever thinking of such a thing.

Seras didn't know what else to do. She felt so horrible right then it was any wonder how her heart wouldn't have just died from depression. She took a few slow steps towards Isi. The only thing Seras wanted was to hold her and cry.

Wether by mistake or what have you, Seras heard the light sound of a silenced gunshot. She didn't know what it was at first, but seeing the tiny bit of smoke from the end of her pistol gave it away. Then there was the pain. How amazing it was! The vampire glanced down and her shirt began to grow soaked in blood from her tummy. Seras had been shot plenty before, but somehow this one was different. Immediately it was much more enjoyable for her, and then it only got worse. Within moments it was the most bizarre and painful feeling she had ever felt. Seras fell to her knees and hands, breathing heavily. Blood fell to the floor. She felt sweat on her forehead. A certain pain began to coarse through her body. What Seras didn't know was that being a vampire, she was deathly allergic to silver. Isi of course was always prepared and only ever used the best of bullets.

The pain was almost too great for even a sadistic girl like Seras to enjoy. However, she did her best. Through it all she put on a smile and sat on the floor, back against the bed. Seras took out a small handkerchief and wiped the bit of blood she had coughed onto her lips and dabbed at the sweat on her forehead. Occasionally her eyes would want to roll back into her head. Seras looked up at her master and despite everything, she still had the most respect for the lady.

"I...Im sorry... Miss Isi... I... I like you heaps..."

The little girl did her best to speak but perhaps most of her sentence had little voice behind it and to anyone who didn't know how to also read lips it would have been difficult to know what she meant to say.

With the effect poisonous of silver making its way through her bloodstream, Seras felt the pain through her entire body. From head to toe she noticed a horrid burning feeling. This was something she had never experienced in her entire life. It made her smile. She didn't know what to make of it. Was she really dying now?

[Isi Runasimi]

{{I left my awesome post behind on my usb disk at home. I'm sorry this post sucks.}}

Isi’s face hardened visibly when her pet began to cry. Isi disliked tears and whenever she began to cry she would punish herself severely. It got to the point where her body knew that forming tears was a bad thing. It took discipline. And to see someone crying, it sort of maddened Isi. She had no respect for women who cried. But this was Seras. And she was a vampire. The vampires was crying. Of course Isi had seen vampires cry before. They cried right before they realized that they would die, after fully begging for their pathetic lives!

“You work for me. You work for me!”

Isi said mimicking the girl. As Seras advanced Isi didn’t think twice about shooting Seras. It wasn’t a kill spot, especially on a vampire, but the bullet was of course handmade from fine and blessed silver. Isi’s expression changed immensely to that of dumbfoundment as Seras began to smile. The bloody vampire was smiling! Smiling! Isi opened her mouth, when no words came out, she shut it.

“I like you heaps too Seras. But you’re a vampire. I’m a vampire hunter. Don’t you think we have a problem?”

[serasalcaste]

She did her best to stay conscious but there was a sudden spell of something tiring that began to take over. Seras forced her eyes to stay open, even if it hurt to do so. The tears wouldn't stop flowing out of them. Somehow, her pale skin looked even more ghastly then. Her eyes were now just a dull pink with no amount of happiness left.

"I...I-Im sorry...."

Seras barely spoke as she coughed up blood. She put a hand lightly on her wound and looked at it covered in blood. The bleeding hadn't stopped yet.

"I-I promised... I wouldn't be a... a... problem, miss... I'm heaps sorry. I-I didn't want you to... know..."

The vampire was more apologetic than any creature of the night should ever had to have been. It was the one thing that made her closer to her lover back then, but now she almost regretted becoming a vampire. She sighed and closed her eyes, trying to take steady breaths.

"I'm no good for you too..." Seras mumbled to herself with a heavy, saddened sigh.

She just sat there bleeding all over the place with no want for it to stop written into her body language, even if there was a small bit of her deep inside that wanted to live on and make Isi happy.

"You're such a bloke! Did you... actually think... that you could be with her? She's a hunter!"

Seras coughed up more blood and spoke to herself in a light voice.

"Its -kay... "

She shook her head and leaned back against the bed and opened her eyes. They were full of tears still. But not of pain. The girl hated the predicament she was in. She didn't know what to do.

"Its quite funny... yes? I... I just wanted... to...to be closer to my Hiro... but I wasn't any good for him... even after he turned me... I begged him to do it..."

[/color][/size]

[Isi Runasimi]

Isi watched the pretty vampiress become so constricted with decisions. It was at that very moment that Isi realized that she wouldn't kill Seras. She would take a chance. But the one and only time Isi was betrayed Seras would pay with her vampire life.

"I'm a vampire hunter Seras. You can not lie to me. Never lie to me again, promise!"

Though Isi's words were nice and sincere, the tone sounded harsh. She walked over towards Seras, bent down. The butt of the gun touched Seras forehead. Isi could blow the girls brains out. But instead she found the wound and dug the bullet in deeper.

"Remember this pain. Forget about Hiro. You belong to me now."

[serasalcaste]

Seras closed her eyes shut and tried her best to keep a steady breath while Isi began to talk to her. She was wheezing lightly. Her respiratory system wanted to shut down. The vampire was in terrible shape. However, the pain was beyond anything she had ever experienced and the tormented girl enjoyed it that much more.

"I...I p-p-promiseee.."

She was barely able to come up with the right words Isi wanted to hear. Her thoughts were all over the place. But with the vampire in her dying, she knew her master would never look at or treat her even near as well as she had. Though Isi had been rude and mildly demanding of her, she loved every second of being a slave and now barely had the strength to realize it would never be the same.

Suddenly when Isi pushed the bullet further into her petite body the burning pain grew worse than ever. It made Seras smile. It always felt wonderful to have her master hurt her.

Seras slowly put her hands around the gun Isi held to her and guided it further down to where her previous wound was. The girl moved her slender fingers around Isi's hand and tried to help her master pull the trigger once more, but didn't have any strength left in her. Her hands were as cold as ice and her skin pale.

[/color][/size]

[Isi Runasimi]

Isi was shocked when the vampire pressed the gun to her. If Isi shot, the girl would soon as die. Or perhaps her body would hold onto the world of the living for a while and she would be able to eat a bellboy to survive or one of the maids. That was if Isi shot her and left her to die. But Isi always finished the job.

"No Seras. You will not die a true death, today."

Isi scolded as she moved the gun away from Seras. She put it back in its fine holster. And full of disgust and disgust and stomach churning with more disgust, Isi dug deep for the bullet and pulled it out of Seras. Isi's smooth white skin was full of blood, vampire blood. And a shinny silver bullet. There wasn't the tiniest temptation to lick the blood and become a vampire herself.

"I guess I have to feed you now! Auh, blood bags. Don't even think about it!"

As if Isi would let a blood sucker feed off her veins. But now Isi needed to find out a way to get blood bags. Maybe Seras knew. And maybe Isi could find a whole new target with a vampire as a sort of partner / servant / slave.

[serasalcaste]

A little whimper came from the vampire as she was scolded. She had certainly been defeated and wouldn't have ever dared put up a fight.

"I-i-it's -kay, miss"

Seras' lips trembled but she still denied a drink. Just as Isi reached into her wound to pull the bullet out She wanted to hold her wrists and keep the lady's hands in her for just a short while. The pain was wonderful. But she couldn't find the energy anymore.

Somehow her master made it seem to her that she would not be killed now, but maybe later and this put a smile on her face. Seras closed her eyes and slowly drifted off to sleep. It would take a while for her to heal well enough to move about again.
