Thread: I Need No Hero ( CandyxBass)

Yay! So lessee. Your character will travel through a village at the foot of Dracula's castle, armed with the Vampire Killer Whip, when she is beset by some monsters. She kills most of them, but before she is taken by surprise, Alucard shows up. 'Remember child,'a dark haired an smiled down at a petite brunette child holding a long whip. Her small appendages flexed and ready to strike, reminding some of a coiled snake about to unleash its venomous bite. 'That just because these creatures have a beautiful face and can charm any man or woman, does not mean that they are mortal. They are evil Celestria. Their mortal guise is not to be believed. Strike and then ask questions.' That memory was the only one that the brunette woman cared to keep, the only that wasn't stained with blood or tears. But none of that mattered now, nor would it ever again. Another town someplace else needed to be ride of the curse that was the night children. Those beautiful creatures that hid behind human facades. They were all the same as far as she was concerned. They all deserved to die for the blight that they were upon the waking world. With a soft sigh, Celestria adjusted the hood on her cloak. The rain outside sounded so much louder from inside the hood. It beat against the black fabric like thunder, drowning out all other noises, including those of her attackers. To say that she was no aware of them was a lie, she had become aware of their presence the moment the wind had shifted. She had been able to smell their vile stench. They all smelled of death. Finally, tired of walking, tired of being followed, Celestria stopped and placed her hand further into her cloak, feeling the thick leather beneath her long fingered grasp. If they wanted a meal, they would have to work for it. It had only taken a moment for her to stop for the monsters to spring forth from the shadows, clawed hands greedily reaching out for their next meal. But Celestria had no intention of letting those leaches drain her dry, a withered husk of her former self. Like the lightening that cracked above her head, she spun around, whip already drawn. The eerie flash of lightening gave the whip a golden glow as it snapped out and attacked one of the blood suckers, and then another. Piles of ash was all that was left of the creatures, but yet no matter how many times she seemed to lash out and turn one to ash, two more seemed to replace it. Die you bastard. She hissed, her whip snapping furiously again and again in the heat of the storm. Finding she had limited mobility, Celestria tore the cloak from her body and threw it at her attackers. For a moment they all stood in shock, perplexed as to the human's attack. By the time the cloak lay discarded on the muddy ground, the woman was already several feet away from them. From behind her, Celestria could hear the beasts snarl and gnash their jaws angrily as they now had to chase their prey. Through the rain she ran, her lungs burning already from the bitter sting of the chilled air. The white cotton short that she shore under the thick leather corset around her waist, now clung to her skin. Harder she rain in the pouring rain, before she slide to a stop and lashed out again with her whip. Over and over again the creatures turned to ash, but not before more came. One of the lowly creatures had sprung at her, Celestria had not been quick enough to return a hard clap with her whip before the thing was upon her. Claws sinking into soft flesh and gnashing jowls biting at her throat. The two had toppled over, the creature surprisingly heavy for something so skinny. With a cry, Celestria could feel the sharp tips of the monster's fingernails digging into her skin. Blood bloomed under the creature's finger nails, staining the once ivory shirt pink and red.
