I'm Back

[†The Blood Countess†]

Planning, planning, planning; enough of that has happened and it was time to resume the original goal of The Blood Dynasty: to conquer. That blasted Twilight Brigade had been on the prowl as of late and The Countess was not going to take any chances in this. Changes were being made, starting with her appearance. Gone were the long, flowing locks that rested just above her waist along with the attire she once wore. Elizabeth looked more like a troublesome teenager than a young woman with sophisticated tastes. Ah, well; easy come, easy go.

The change of disguise, however, did nothing to quell her love for the occasional slaughter to take out her frustration.

What a scene this was! Amidst the mess of sliced, bloodied corpses stood The Countess with a triumphant smirk on her ageless features. The blade Vicious left behind was held in her gloved right hand, the flat edge gleaming maliciously in the moonlight. Elizabeth said nothing, but casually flicked the blood off her weapon before snapping it back into the sheathe. Amused and satisfied, she turned from the scene, planted a foot on the wall in front of her, and walked up the edifice to get to the roof so she could find her way back to the manor.

The view, once she got to the top, did little to help her.

The thought was soon interrupted when someone was coming towards the scene. Smirking, she crouched down and waited to see who it was along with their reaction.

This had been long overdue! A trip to Europe! It had been hell getting the money to go, but she had managed through combined efforts of saving money from her job at Starbucks, financial aid, and her parents helping out the best they could. Nicola was so happy to be able to talk to her parents again. . . . Matthew had all but disappeared so she’d left the mansion and was relying on a were-bear to help her, but Vincent had moved on as well now that she was safe and the vampire who had kidnapped her was nowhere to be seen. Now she was back with her mother and father—making up some lie to make them stop asking questions. She’d simply told them that she hadn’t liked the “program” and had wanted out, so Matthew was letting her go. If she never saw that vampire again, she’d die a happy woman. But all of that was lost in her site-seeing. It was a tad late to be out and away from the hotel where her group for school was staying, but one of the girls staying in her room had convinced her to come see a little bit of the European night life. Nicola hadn’t wanted to go, but she didn’t want Michelle to go by herself, so here the two were, wandering around a foreign country unsupervised.

The pair were chatting happily with each other, but somewhere along the way back to their hotel they took a wrong turn. How could you not when you were in a strange city and weren’t exactly paying attention? Their carefree giggling and gossiping was interrupted when Michelle caught site of the first body. The college student screamed, startling Nicola, who turned away from her roommate and looked around wildly, spotting more bodies. A hand went to her mouth and she gasped, stifling her own scream of horror. Michelle was already starting to cry, but Nicola’s brain was working. This had to be the work of one of those supernatural beings. She turned right to her friend and started to push her along. “Run, run!” Nicola commanded. Michelle didn’t need to be told twice. Her heels clicked on the cobblestone opening as she started to run, and Nicola followed after her, but she looked behind her for a moment and her shoe caught an uneven step, sending her sprawling across the ground. Her hands scraped against the pavement, but she picked herself up without a single sign of discomfort and brushed her pants off, looking behind her again.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Oh, how delicious! A pair of unsuspecting women were approaching the scene without a care in the world. So young, so fresh and full of the warm blood her kind craved. Hunger had departed from the immortal, but that doesn't mean she'll have an urge to gorge herself. Another set of canines pushed down, in front of the primary ones, and sharpened to a fine point just a tad shy of the ones behind her. This bizarre mutation had emerged with thanks to drinking copious amounts of The Pureblooded Killer's blood along with other uncanny abilities not natural for a vampire. While most were fast, she -for the most part- was faster. Vicious was notorious for his lightning reflexes, and that legendary power was passed down into her blood.

Enough about her past love interest; it was time for a fresh hunt to commence! This one may escape alive if only to tell the tale of how she narrowly escaped Elizabeth's deadly clutches! Oh, how delicious the rumors will be. Shortly after the shout to flee, she swiftly closed in, waiting for the right moment to move in. Soon as the girl would look over her shoulder, she would find the Bloody Countess herself very, very close to her. The blood that dotted her face and tainted her lips was proof that she was the murdress. A sinister, amused smirk spread across her ageless features, revealing two sets of canines, and said only one thing: "Boo."

Demented-looking woman behind her. That definitely wasn’t natural or normal. Nicola picked herself up off the ground, not daring to look at what the progress of her roommate was. If she looked away from this woman—undoubtedly a vampire now—she might just lose her head. Well, not that Nicola expected to live much longer anyway. For all she knew she had some festering blood disease slowly killing her and she could drop at any moment. Inwardly, she shook her head to make herself focus on the task at hand. . . making it out of this situation alive. Nicola backed up several feet, narrowing her eyes slightly. Scream? Turn and run? Stand and defend? She didn’t know which one to do. Her fight or flight reflexes were starting to kick in, but the longer she stood here, the longer time she gave Michelle to run off and get away safely. That is what the selfless Nicola would do. “Boo yourself!” she retorted bravely before stripping her jacket for more freedom of movement and then taking off down a different street than her friend had.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Did she really think that running from her was possible? I'm always up for a good chase anyways, thought Elizabeth, though it's a shame none of them run fast enough to give me a challenge. Nicola bolted for her life, and The Countess leapt up, planted her feet on the wall once more and calmly strolled after the human. It was easy to keep up with someone who made so much noise. "Run all you want, little girl. No matter where you go, I will find you; and I will drain your body dry." Those threatening words were lost in the wind but their meaning rang true-The Countess wasn't planning on letting her go unscarred.

Then, she sprinted after her. The scenery of the city rushed past her in a blur, yet somehow, her advances senses were able to process everything clear as day. Right when Nicola would start thinking she had lost the vampire, Amoura leapt into her path, allowing the sunglasses to drop down the bridge of her nose to reveal those icy blues, "Thought it was that easy?" A sinister click rang into the night air; and she would spy metal sliding free from a sheathe.

"How shall I finish you off? Slowly or quickly? Make the choice."

Nicola could only run so fast for so long. She continued on for as long as she could, trying her hardest to lead the vampire as far away from her friend as she could, hoping that the woman followed. After a while, she started to become more breathless. Nicola was better as short bursts of running than long-distance. She glanced over her shoulder, having not noticed anything more from the vampire, so she slowed. However, Nicola knew that she couldn’t be far behind. . . she couldn’t be! Vampires didn’t give up! Nicola looked around, and when she turned around again, the raven-haired vampiress was right there. Nicola nearly tumbled, but she kept herself upright. “Thought it was that easy?” the vampire taunted. Nicola took a step back and shook her head. “No not really. Wasn’t easy the first time, wasn’t going to be easy this time,” she muttered, talking about the time Matthew had chased her down. Not that this woman would know about that. The next thing Nicola knew, the woman was pulling out a sword. Oh how special.

“How shall I finish you off? Slowly or quickly? Make the choice,” Ms. Vampire offered oh so graciously. Nicola paused for a second. This question held a lot more weight for her than it would another person who was, unlike Nicola, capable of feeling pain. They would want their death to be swift and painless so they wouldn’t have to suffer. However, a slow death meant that she would get be alive just a tad bit longer, and the longer she was able to survive, the more likely this vampire would just get bored, or distracted, or maybe Nicola would even be rescued! It was a long shot in an empty street, but it was a hope worth having. But then another question showed up. . . fake feeling pain or don’t fake it? Maybe the vampire would get interested because she wasn’t effected by whatever pain the woman tried to inflict on her. . . . Oh, so many choices! Nicola lifted a hand to run her fingers through her hair, glanced around the street, then stared at the vampire defiantly. “Slowly sounds like a plan to me.”

Elizabeth grinned again, but instead of attacking, she withdrew her blade and let out a sharp whistle. Two men, dressed in uniform-like attire, jumped down and took a hold of Nicola's arms to keep her from escaping. "What a perfect idea," The Countess looked over her shoulder at two more of her soldiers approaching, holding onto Nicola's companion. Like any other captive, she did all she could to escape, but her efforts thus far were fruitless.

Elizabeth nodded once, and they shoved Michelle forward towards Elizabeth's outstretched hand. The ancient grasped her hair firmly and forced her down to the ground, though she would allow the human to look up at Nicola if she so desired. "Oh dear, look what I've got here. You wanted to die slowly, I think that will work for her as well." Her sky blue eyes had bled black, another trait she inherited from Vicious' blood, "What do you think, men? Should this one die?"

Some of the soldiers chuckled, but only one responded, "M'lady, whatever you feel is a fitting end for one like her."

"Slowly it is."

Nicola very nearly jumped out of her skin when she was grabbed. That most definitely had not been something she had expected. She gasped and looked around wildly. Okay, now there were two goons. She could only guess that they were both vampires, too. And then the screaming started. She turned around to the best of her ability and Nicola’s eyes widened. “Fuck!” she muttered under her breath. They’d gotten a hold of Michelle after all. Fucky fuck fuck. All that running. Nicola should have guessed this was going to happen! “Oh dear, look what I've got here. You wanted to die slowly, I think that will work for her as well,” the vampire taunted. Nicola growled and threw herself forward against her captors and nearly pulled her arms out of their socket. “You blood-sucking ho-bag! I don’t care what you do to me but if you kill her it better be swift! Or not at all! Whichever one works better!” Nicola called. Under different circumstances it might have been a little comical, but she was dead serious right there. Nicola might have been fine with a slow death, but she didn’t want Michelle to suffer.
