Veil of Night - Namelesshero and Kyux

[namelesshero]

The priest bowed to Anne, saying that he understood it. Hunters tend to be this way; some of them left their children in the protection of the Church. Many didn't return to take their children back, but that was the harsh reality. He could only hope that Anne would return in one piece. The child was just too precious to suffer that way. When she'd left, he patted William's shoulder gently. "Do not worry about your mother, my child. She's strong. I'm sure that she will return for you. We shall pray to God for her safety. He will surely hear your prayer," he gave him a smile before leaving him and Aria.

She nudged William's arm, telling him that everything would be okay. She hoped it will...

Van Helsing had spent the entire day in his office, making sure that every weapon he needed would be ready at his disposal. The team had prepared their "Vampire Scent" vials. All he needed was waiting for Anne's arrival. "Prepare to move. She'll be here soon," he ordered. Doe started their jeeps' engines, ready to move at moment's notice. They'd asked for reinforcement from other Hunter Organization, their numbers reaching hundreds in total. It was a full-on assault against the Vampires.

William wrapped his arms around Aria neck again and smiled a little nodding."I know mommy is strong." He said and then smiled softly, really beliving in that. He saw Anne fighting a lot of times, enough to know shes strong. He then got up and glanced at Aria."Lets go Aria." He said and motioned her to follow him as he went to the play room where there were a few more kids.

Anne quickly arrived to the place where she was supposed to meet Van Hellsing and the others. Finally, as she arrived there she noted Hellsing and walked behind him."so, Alex, where do I get the Vital?" She asked and smiled a bit before becoming serious."So, whats the exact plan? Fill me in."

The day moved so quickly, it had started to be consumed by the unforgiving night. The final trace of the Sun was buried in the far west, slowly succumbing to its temporary sleep. Van Helsing glanced at the moon in the sky. It was almost full. The small gap in its face gave him chill; Werewolves were more active at full moon, it gave them excitement. Two days...perhaps three days at least.

"There she is," Richard remarked upon Anne's arrival. Van Helsing threw her a vial containing the liquid. "That 'perfume' should be enough for the night. We're going to infiltrate their meeting place, disguising as the Volvuri. I hope that their death wasn't discovered yet...the Church did their best, but efforts are always thwarted by silly fate," he tapped his fedora, reminiscing times in the past when his people died from plans went wrong.

"Not all of us will go. I will commandeer the entire operation here. Anne, you take the lead for the infiltration. Take your old team, they know you the best. And Doe too," he pointed at the quiet man. "His marksmanship is the best. If anything happen, he'll blast your way through."

[Kyux]

Anne grabbed the vial and then looked at him rather surprised. "My old team? They're here?" She asked but as soon as Hellsing finished speaking she felt something wrapping its arms around her. She gasped and turned over."Sarah Anne!!!" The now fully grown up, purple haired woman glanced at her with a large smile. She had a similar clothing style as Anne- Victoria. "Wow, Sarah Anne Nova." A tall man walked out from nowhere and grinned a bit."I herd them saying you came back but I couldn't believe that."Well, I hope you're not rusty after all that time.."
Anne snorted and hugged Victoria back with a grin."hey. And Mark no, I'm not rusty, believe me I has enough training." She said and grinned before taking in the "vampire perfume"."Okay, shall we?"

The Hammock Building was what one would call a typical skyscraper. It was of modern design, one tall block building challenging the birds' authorities. Every side of it was covered with large, wholesome bluish window glass. One would think that Vampires would especially avoid this kind of design, for it allowed lots of sunlight to enter the building. It was a good disguise from other people. The inside of the building was another smaller part, which effectively blocked sunlight seeping from the window. It was a good place to hide even in the day, which made sense of why the Ancient Covenant used it as their base.

"They're getting busy at night. See, there's even guards," Richard pointed at the entrance. Now the team was securing areas around the perimeter. It was up to the infiltration team now. "The King should be in the uppermost floor. You need to blend in first, though. Here's Volvuri Coven's seal. Good luck," he gave them a thumb.

Now the infiltration into the hive begun.

[Kyux]

Anne looked at the place. She was walking by that place a few times a day, and she would never think it was the hideout of the Ancient Covenant. But, it was, and now she and her team had to get in there and stop whatever was going on there. She took enough seals for her whole group and then motioned them to follow along. It's been a while since she led a team, but everything came back to her, she never forgot. She had the best team, well, right after Hellsings'.

As they eased in she glanced at Eric and spoke."Eric, you're up now. They know that the Volturi clans leader is a man so I can't say I am him. Say your name is Ruben, that we schedueled a meeting with King Simon, and ask where exactly he would be located." She ordered as Eric and the others nodded."Okay lets go." They agreed together before heading to the front.

Eric spoke to the guards that let him in, luckily, Eric was a very [i]very/i] good actor. As the entered the place was rather intimidating. Most of the vampires felt the presence of humans, but they couldn't put their finger on it. Silly bloodsuckers. As the guard was leading them to the king Simons he stared forward and didnd t even mind them.

At night, Aria preferred to sleep in the Church's yard. She missed the feeling of greeneries under her belly, the scent of morning dew gently washing up from trees and grass. In the city she could found none of it. This artificial patch of nature made by Men was something she appreciated. At least for a bit, she could reminisce her home back in the forest.

This particular night seemed different for her. Something annoyed her so much she couldn't fully close her eyes. It was something rubbing on her nose, an omen of bad things to happen. She decided to go to where William was, alongside the other children.

======

The Vampire led the team into the uppermost floor, which inside was nothing like normalcies viewed in the lower grounds. Long has since lost the mark of modernities which defined present-era office buildings. On the walls were patterns of Vampire royalties seal, various families which was now united under the Ancient Covenant. Many other Vampires were present as well, although from their looks they could be no more than low-ranked members. The guide left them in the room, and soon they were greeted by another man coming from across the big room.

Something seemed different, for this man was nowhere near as grand as Lucas was once for Anne. If one would say it...this man is not a 'King'.

"I'm sorry for this inconvenience, Volvuri Coven, but our Master is not here," he bowed down apologetically. "It is rather unfortunate that he has an important appointment this particular night, and thus could not grace you with His presence. However, He had approved your family, and you will be accepted within the Coven. Now, if you would please follow me and finish the formalities," he smiled at them.

[Kyux]

William felt it to. He couldn't fall asleep. He felt it as if his stomach had butterflies in it. He couldn't calm down. Something was going to happen.. But what? What could possibly happen? Maybe he was just imagining it. When the door opened, he pretented to be asleep. The nuns were nice but when it came to time scheudle they would be very angry if he wasn't asleep that late in the night. Though, when he herd the footsteps that applied there were four of them he smiled a bit."Aria." He mumbeled and then as he turned and saw the white wolf he wrapped his arms around her and stroked her behind her ear." Didn't you go to sleep outside?" He asked her and glanced at her with a soft innocent smile, hiding the fact he didn't feel well.

--

Anne followed the guard, along with the rest of them. For now, Eric was the first, since he was supposed to be the leader, however, when they entered the roomand the guard left, the man that was there wasn't King Simon. Eric glanced at the vampire that was replacing him and then huffed." I'm very thankful that you aknowleged us as family, but we do not accept to continue without the king himself. It's not that we don't trust you, but the king knew we were coming today, it was scheduled a long time ago and I believe that adding another Coven is pretty important. So if you may, we will wait here for his arrival."

Anne bit on her lip a bit, hating the fact she couldn't say anything. Stupid Vampire Hirarchy.

[namelesshero]

The man stopped to think of Eric's proposal before ultimately agreed. "Well...fine, although I don't think He will finish it soon. But your people can stay in this building for a while, we have a lot of rooms for that purpose. I'll arrange for your family to get some place to sleep in the day. His Majesty said that it could take the entire night to finish, since He's going to enter a Church and all."

His body shivered with anticipation after he said that. "Our King is such a Vampire, right? For him to casually said that he wanted to go to a Church...into the very territory of the humans itself...! Sure they're inferior compared to us, but even such low-life beings could be terrifying in great number as they are now. But that man said he's going by himself, with no fear at all!"

With a wicked smile he laughed, shouting again and again followed by others in the room. "Hail the King! Hail the King!" they repeated in unison.

======

The priest was the only one awake in the midst of the night after a quick visit to the toilet. He always admired the silent vibrant in the night time. If the song for the Lord in the day was elixir for the heart, the silent night was an embrace of love from Him to His children. He couldn't help but feel the grandeur of God's design.

Suddenly a knock could be heard from the entrance. "What...who could it be this late at night?" he proceeded to open the door, thinking perhaps it was a priest who got late in their travel. However, before he could even touch the handle, the door was blown apart, even throwing him alongside splinters which was the only thing left from the once-sturdy mahogany door. Shone by every faint light was left on the outside, silhouettes of the intruders forebode an ominous feeling. They entered the cathedral with such arrogance written on their face. Their attire was of great variance, as their number was quite large, but one thing was similar for all of them. Their fang was protruded, ready to tear apart human flesh and seep in their blood until dry.

Vampires! The priest couldn't mistake them for anything else. He tried to run, but a Vampire brought him down in no time. Not even letting him scream, the monster pierced the sharp teeth into his neck, sucking away his blood. It wasn't with the intention to turn him; he was sucked to his death. Only an instant was needed.

The Damned had entered His House in the end.

"Find him...find the boy! Drain the others if you want, but make sure that you get the boy!" the Vampires poured in, one objective was clear on their mind: William.

[Kyux]

The moment the vampire said he was going to visit the church, Anne felt as if her heart sunk down to her toes. Her hands started to shudder.

William. William. William.

She was holding herself from breaking down and dashing away from there, but she had to find a way to get there as fast as possible. Not even Aria could stand against the vampire king. Especially if he had the same power as The Black king. She remembred how the girl collapsed to her feet after she left. Eric grinned and nodded."Woah, what a brave king we have! Though, if you're saying it would take all night we prefer tocome back tommorow evening, thank you for your offer anyway, but we prefer to meet him when he is not tired. Thank you." eric said and then turned around to leave. Anne couldn't be in more of a hurry. William. Her son. The Dhampire was there. If they even find out what he was- And they will, he is absolutely done for. Vampires hated mixbreeds like that. Exactly like humans did.

Once the group was finally out of the building Anne gasped and dashed off. She didn't care for any plan matters, she didn't care for anyone of the other men."I gotta go! Go back to Hellsing and report to him! Tell him to send his people as fast as he can!" she said before jumpingto one of the jips and driving towards the Church." Damn it Will! Please hang in there!" She gasped, her heart was rushing so fast she felt she was going to have a heart attack.

Doors banging, screamings and hissing. Thats all he could hear. William was terrified."Whats going on Aria?" He asked ehr with scared eyes as he gripped to her tighter, digging his face into her fur. He was afraid, and he believed that Aria could protect him. Innocent as a kid.
