Thread: Blood Bonds and Violent Passions (Myself and Makeupedzombie)

When the nightmare worthy words slid off of his slimy tongue they made perfect sense. At first. They then began to slur and blur into one another as my brain regestered the horror of the situation both I and McKenzie had been placed in. What kind of trade up is this? My fingers contracting and releasing slightly, hovering just over where the handle for on of my dual sharpened wooden knives. It was a tribute my clan took pride of. Training people in blade work, and how to create such beautiful weapons with your own hands. That way they meant something to you. You pour your soul into something when you make it, well that's what they said. Right now both Nero and the blades were taunting me. I knew this was no place for a fight and not the right time, not in here with so many of his kind around. Why us? Out of everyone. My jaw clenching and unclenching after I demanded, my voice still even. Dad had always said I had the swan effect, calm on the surface and panicking underneath, just like mum had been and according to him it would serve me well. Tonight I was glad, my look didn't betray me. I was the last child my father had and the only one. The last living relic of my mother. Scarring my untouched skin didn't seem like a viable option when so many had died for the freedom of unmarked skin from these rats. If I took McKenzie's place then she would hunt me down and find me, maybe even rescue me and we could run away together. Beyond the urban decay, back to where the trees were tall and unknown things lay. In an almost relaxed manner, I picked up the glass, shook it slightly so the ice tinkled against the glass, smelling it wine, before taking a sip. You still haven't answered me, Challenging him felt good. I really was standing up and being cocky with one of the most feared people around. Where are you're marked ones? I refuse to believe a vampire of your status has come without his snack to a place like this. I turned back so that I were facing the crowd and not him. My body seemed to be attracted to him like metal to a magnet, so it took a LOT of will power to move away. My mind however was completely repulsed by him by threatening me and especially by threatening my McKenzie. Then the plan hit me. It would just take a little more of that will power I had used a second ago. I smiled, then laughed a genuine laugh as if I had witnessed someone falling out of a tree. However this laugh was one of thrill, of the sheer crazy brilliant idea I had concocted. I'll be right back. I walked away pretty slowly for my usual pace. When your heavy boots get stuck in deep bog mud and you have to stomp and jiggle your way free or remain there and sink deeper. That's how hard it was to walk away, but I managed it. Once the air was clear of his aura that was clearly projected onto me, aura is the term for the pull a vampire uses on a victim my mind worked faster, my mind was rushing through this plan. The bathroom, the bathroom... where was it? As a coy I picked a random vampire and walked towards them, before diverting to search for the ladies room. When found it was a small dingy dirty place, I'd say it smelt of sex but really the whole place did, the bathroom was just that little bit worse. My suspicions had been right, there was a window. Small enough I could climb through out of the stall furthest from the door if I took my leather cloak off. I did just so, revealing my short choppy blond hair. Warrior hair, as Kenzie had called it before. No one was in the bathroom so I wriggled out to the back of the building just easily. Where carcases of humans lay in the ally way. Hearing a scream, I knew it was Kenzie. My feet couldn't move fast enough! Tap, rap, rap, tap, rap, rap. My shoes hitting against the concrete, my speed picking up. A large bald vampire had his back to me, but even from the distance I was at I could see what he was about to do to MY Kenzie, and the way he was holding her and touching her... it enraged me, no one touched her like that except me! In seconds my wooden blades were in hand, my speed was as fast as I could go. Jumping to reach the vampires neck, slitting it open with the right hand, and shoving the blade in the left hand right through his back to his heart. Kenzie's eyes wide with horror and shock. I grabbed her, pulling her quickly down the street into one of the older more run-down and abandoned buildings. I kissed her, tears running down my face with the thought of what I was about to do. What's wrong? She asked me, her face still showing the shock she had been in from fangs almost scraping her perfect skin. Yet she was asking me if I was okay... Just trust me and do a few things for me. 1 Tell my dad I love him and that I promise I WILL see him again. 2 Swap cloths with me, now, quickly. We don't have too much time and I have none to explain it, She just nodded, and started to strip with me, swapping clothes. A deep sadness flickered across her face as she watched me, with a predominant fear. She was afraid to loose me, and I was afraid to loose her...again. Once we were ready and had swapped clothes I kissed her so deeply and lovingly. Like it were the last kiss I'd ever get off of her, perhaps it would be the last. You know I love you Kenzie, and I'd do anything for you. I mumbled into the kiss. She nodded quickly. 4Take my throwing knives and one of my hand carved. I'll hold onto the other. Just know I'll find you again. Keep an eye on the skies. She knew what that meant. After that moment, I whispered to her to run away from here. Go around and get your sent dirty I told her, Keep running until you think you're safe and not being followed. And then, I walked back towards the pub very slowly. My mind in disgust at what might happen now. All that I had to be sure of was that she was safe.
