Thread: A Monster: Now and Forever (Razgriz x kuro_bara)

Selena was almost back to her hotel when she felt her curse trigger, she stopped mid stride and chewed her lip in thought. Now would be a perfect opportunity to find out who this hunter was and possibly eliminate him for good. The fact that he had activated the curse told her two things. Either he was confident and powerful enough the pain wouldnt kill him or he was incredibly amateur. She could feel the curse, it would lead her straight to him if she followed it now...but that would risk putting herself in his clutches and that was something she could not risk. With a sigh,she continued into the hotel heading straight for the laptop to arrange for a street team to pick up the body. Cassandras clean up crews were efficient and effective at what they did and there were teams scattered all around the world. The closest was currently finishing up a job in Rome, Selena couldnt even begin to guess what a street team would need to clean up in Rome and quite honestly she didnt want to know. Some of Cassandras ventures did not go as smoothly as the one in Venice was. The Baroness was known for ruthlessly removing any threats or competitors in her quest for land, money or titles. The team notified her they would arrive late that night to dispose of the spys body. Her glamour should hold up until than, adjusting to make it look the seat was empty after a suitable period of time. Selena, like many of the witches in the employ of the Baroness, was a very talented and creative spell caster. Cassandra had a talent for finding those with superior abilities that would aid her cause. Selena had been working for the vampiress for at least 7 years now, quickly securing a position as one of her best financial delegates, as well as one of the best witches with illusion spellcraft. She walked out onto the stone balcony attached to her room and faced the direction where the curse pulsed like a beacon. Leaning on the railing, she watched as the sun slid towards the horizon, bathing Venice in a deep orange glow. With a soft tch she straightened and padded back into the room, changing into a pair of black jeans and glittering halter top. She quickly pinned her hair up and glanced at her reflection in the mirror. From savvy business woman to sexy party girl in under five minutes. Her curiosity was eating at her, she had to know who this hunter was, the nagging feeling that she recognized the power when she had been close to it was even stronger now. It didnt take her long to track the curse to a nearby motel, still quite lovely though nothing like the swanky, upscale hotel she was residing in. Made sense if a hunter wanted to lay low to stay at one of the quieter places. She had intended only to locate the building and send in a familiar but it was just too alluring. Knowing he was just within her reach. She pulled a small pill out of her pocket and stared at it for a moment. Another one of Lillianas concoctions. This one would render her unconscious and in a death like state until she could be retrieved. Her own inner barriers were keyed to the drug so the moment it touched her tongue they would lock anyone who tried to break inside her mind out. It of course left her in an incredibly vulnerable state where anyone could simply slit her throat and be done with it but at the very least she would feel no pain and divulge nothing. She wandered into the motel, murmuring a greeting to the girl at the desk. She leaned on the counter and gave the girl a friendly smile, politely asking about an odd looking gentleman, giving the impression that she was here for a special meeting. Selena had no idea how the hunter would be dressed but the often had peculiar taste in clothing to say the least, so it was safe bet the vague description would be more than enough for the desk agent. The young woman gave a knowing smile and wrote down a room number for her, humans were so foolish, it sometimes hurt to remember she was technically still a part of their race. The room number wasnt really necessary. The curse drew her right to him. She could feel the power from him emanating from the room and it made her suck in a breath with surprise. She knew she should walk away from this right now, it was suicide to risk her mission in such a reckless fashion. Even as the thought crossed her mind, a whispered spell caused the door to unlock and open a fraction of inch. Casting a quick look in either direction she pushed it open and entered the room, her thin dagger already clutched in one fist. Her choice was made and there was no turning back now.
