Thread: Benigna's Muse

Hong Kong, 1980 Mei Ling was a curvy petite Chinese girl with B cup busts. Standing at 6 feet 5 inches, weighs 55kg with silky black hair that reached to her shoulders. Since young, she had been exposed to the world of vampires and their wiles. She was taught how to detect a vampire by sense of smell, touch, speech and behaviour. Of course, what would the purpose be if she could only detect them? She too must be able to hunt them down and kill them. Having a choice of an arsenal of weapons, Mei Lings favourite weapon of choice were the sword and daggers. Mei Ling was adequately educated, gentle and kind. The most important factor that drew many traditional Chinese men to her was that she respected her elders. Given her weak and meek exterior, Mei Ling was far from being weak and meek. A descendant of a long lineage of female vampire slayers, she had an obligatory duty to fulfil the role as the next female vampire slayer and being highly trained in Wushu, she was a lethal beauty. A woman dressed in a black short dress with low V neck, ran frantically knocking down trash cans and baskets that lined the dark alley. Her heels clicked as she kept running, beads of sweat formed on her forehead and neck. Not far behind her, a shadowy figure followed her that seemed to be jumping from wall to wall. No matter where she turned or hid the shadowy figure was able to locate her. The young woman screamed and called for help but no one came nor heard her pleas. She turned another corner where a wall blocked her way, it was a dead end. Turning around to run out of it, she stopped when the shadowy figure appeared a few feet away from her. Go away! she screamed backing to the wall throwing wood, bottle or whatever she could lay her hands on. Her heart pounded fast as the shadowy moved in closer and closer. The figures eyes turned red, fangs began to elongate as it approached her. It was a vampire. In her last attempt to ward off her attacker, she picked up a shard holding it firmly in her trembling hands. Her eyes widen when she had a clear view of her attacker. No! Please, no...oohh... she moaned when the vampire sank its fang into her neck. The shard that she held dropped to the ground and shattered to pieces. A few moments later, her body slumped lifeless to the ground like a rag doll as blood from the punctured holes on her neck flowed freely. The vampire jumped up to a nearby high wall and disappeared into the darkness. Oblivious to what had happened the night before, Mei Ling lay in bed wrapped up under her cosy comforter. There were pictures of her mother and her that graced the wall facing her queen sized bed, a L shaped passageway led to her attached bathroom and near that passageway was her full length wardrobe with sliding doors which was attached to the wall facing the side right of her bed. It was 8.35am her alarm clock had been ringing since 8.30am to wake her. Mei Ling stirred, her slender hand reaching out to her side table to turn off the alarm. Yawning and stretching her hand, she sat up on her bed letting her comforter slipped down to her waist exposing her breasts. She shivered at the coldness that made her reach for the air conditioner controller to switch it off then got out of bed. Mei Ling lost her balance a little her right shoulder leaned on a window and almost immediately regained her equilibrium to head towards the bathroom. Mei Ling always took her time to take a shower for it was her favourite activity after a good nights sleep or a hard days work. Turning the tap and standing under the rainfall cascade shower head, streams of water flowed like rain drops to her head and body. The soft hitting of water upon her delicate skin felt like she was being massaged and the sound of water dripping to the bathroom floor soothed her soul. Reaching for her liquid soap and sponge, she squirted some of the liquid soap onto the sponge and began to scrub herself from chest to toe as the running water washed off the soap suds. She repeated the process for a few times before turning off the tap to shampoo her hair and rinse it with water. Once that was done, the tap was turned off and she took her towel to dry herself then walked out of the bathroom to blow dry her hair and get dressed. It was customary for her to always read up on the journal about vampires that was passed down from generation to generation. The journal contained information about the vampires and how to defeat and kill them. Mei Ling was more interested in reading about them and what made them tick, what their weaknesses were and where they would likely be found. The Chinese Vampires were different from their Western counterparts. The male Chinese vampire would usually be tall, have crew cut hair, human like complexion and were known to lurk in dark places but it had yet to be proven. They have a knee sense of smell, able to hear clearly even though they were 1 mile away. The male vampire sucked blood plasma and would only feed on females in two ways 1. They would bite the neck sucking them dry killing them in the process, there was not a chance that the female would turn as the human females body would disintegrate an hour later. 2. They would mate with a human female and feed on them by sucking 70 of their blood, transfer their blood into the human female to be mix. This would turn the human female into a vampire in a matter of days. The male vampire could be trapped or captured by surrounding them with large amount of raw glutinous rice. Long period of exposure to glutinous rice would weaken them rendering helpless and easily killed. This method would be expensive as a large sack of it was required and it was impractical for a slayer to be carrying such a large sack around. Therefore, Mei Lings ancestors came up with grinding the glutinous rice to powder, cast a spell on it then store it in small explosive sacs. These sacs would only explode when it came in contact with a male vampires body releasing the powdered glutinous rice which would immediately choke them. Not only would this paralyse the vampire for a few seconds, it would also lower the vampires constitution by half making them easy to kill. However, there were a small number of male vampires who were immune to glutinous rice powder. The slayer must improvise and react quickly when encountering such a vampire. There were two kinds of female vampires The true breed and the transformed breed. The true breed was usually sexy, demure, very pretty and a tempest. These true breed are tall, had long black silky hair that could be used as weapon, sharp eyes and have an insatiable appetite for sex, power and guilt. The transformed breed was human females who had been mated by a male vampire and lacked the full power of a true breed. Even though they look sexy, pretty and demure, these vampires rarely are offensive. Both breeds have the ability to lure human males to sleep with them in order to kill them by sucking the essence of their souls. They would feed on human males in two ways 1. Lead a human male on by kissing passionately. As their tongue darted in the mouth, it would lock in the mouth as its tip sucked the life out of a human male. 2. They would have sex with a human male all night long exhausting them. As the human male rested, they would suck 60 of their blood, transfer 20 of their own blood into the human body making them their minions. The female vampire would only mate with male vampires and were rarely involved in a fight to the death with a slayer but would not back down from a fight once it started. They possessed good fighting stamina that can only be reduced considerably by slashing at their minions and their tendons with a blade that has not been touched by a human hand. The slashes must be precise and in one smooth swing of the blade, once done, the slayer must quickly pierced the sword into their hearts. Any delay would to be fatal. Unlike their male counterparts, the female vampires were immune to powdered glutinous rice. They would be stunned for1 minute by cooked glutinous rice balls that stuck to their hair, even though they were stunned, it would not make them less dangerous nor an easy kill. In that state, a female vampire would produce high pitched shrills that would shatter any glass objects and send them flying to their aggressor keeping them busy avoiding glass shards and at the same time to avoid being mutilated by their minions. Mei Lings ancestors had not found a good way to counter such an attack, they best that could be done was to cast wind magic and throw glutinous coated daggers at them. A soft knock was heard on her bedroom door as she finished reading the last sentence about a female vampire. Closing the book and stashing it away back into its secret compartment, Mei Ling answered the door. It was her right hand girl, Si Lin. Mei Ling jie, its time for breakfast. she said the moment she saw her. Note Jie is a customary word for addressing someone older or a form of affection. The counterpart would be Ke for guys. Si Lin walked into Mei Lings life when she was just 17 years old. At that time, Si Lin had just come to Hong Kong from mainland China seeking her fortune. Si Lin unknowingly worked for the underworld being their drug pusher and distributor. Things went well for her much to the envy of other runners they devised a plan to bring her down by framing her for the lost of a big shipment of drugs. Naturally, she was asked to pay for the loss and of course, she was unable to. Left with no choice and fearing for her life, she went into hiding that made her situation worse. She was caught and was imprisoned in an abandoned building with a few men who were ordered to do what they pleased with her. Si Lin begged for her life having no idea that the men had intended to force her into the sex trade. They ripped her clothes off and when she was about to be raped, Mei Ling who had finished a job nearby heard her cries. Intrigued by what she had heard, Mei Ling scaled up to the roof top to have a look at who was crying out pitifully. A girl who was a little younger than her was tied up to a chair her top was torn off revealing her C cup breasts to the 3 men surrounding her. It appeared that the men were taking advantage of her and forcing her to perform oral sex on them. Enraged by the scene, Mei Ling broke the glass and jumped in landing 5 feet behind the men. Take your dirty hands off her! she commanded. Another beauty for us to play with boys! one of them said when he saw the radiant beauty before him. Lets get her, the one on the chair can wait. Moving towards Mei Ling holding a dagger that would be use to slash at her. The other 2 followed suit flanking to the left and right. The 3 men charged at her hoping to overpower her by number, how hard could that be? After all, she was just one girl up against 3 muscular men who had years of experience in street brawls. At least, thats what they thought. They attacked at her in different directions, to their surprise, Mei Ling jumped over their heads freeing herself from being surrounded and at the same time, she kicked one of them sending him sprawling to the ground, then ricochet to another slashing at his tendons. Both men lay on the ground in extreme pain. There was one left who stood dumbfounded by the events that unravelled before him. It was unbelievable, Mei Ling looked at the third man with menacing eyes that made him ran. Si Lin was grateful to Mei Ling for freeing her from the clutches of these hooligans and asked Mei Ling if she could come with her explaining that she had no kin and the underworld boss would not stop sending more men like the ones Mei Ling had defeated. Mei Ling needed companion so that the apartment that she stayed would not be that empty and sullen, besides, Si Lin looked like a girl who she could get along with. Smiling at her, Mei Ling told her that she could, from then on, the two ladies were like sisters, at least, for a short time. Even though Si Lin could not pick up Wushu quickly, she had a knack for something else. After some months, Si Lin mastered potion making, writing magical talisman and enchanting weapons that had saved or helped Mei Ling on many occasions. Alright, Si Lin. What did you buy? she asked. Its the usual, chicken congee with eggs. Nice. Lets eat.
