Vladimir watched her approach him and let her touch his hair. He felt his eyes close for a moment before opening. He found himself perplexed by what he was feeling. Feelings he had locked away so long ago and yet were so easily brought back by this woman. He found himself slowly placing his head on her shoulder as if for support. He inhaled her scent for a moment before allowing himself to speak.

"Dyvol, you have managed to make me feel things I have not felt for a very long time. And that terrifies me" Dyvol meaning little devil in Russian was spoken with affection. His Russian accent making an appearance as each word held uncertainty and yet...affection. He kept his face on her shoulder hoping she would not hurt him in these moments. Vulnerability...something else he had not felt for such a long time.

Grant Holiday

Grant tried to catch his breath, landing on his back. He felt more alive than he has in more than one hundred years. Grant always assumed that sex was something trivial, that it was some basic instinct that was just annoying and time consuming but Grant realized how mistaken he was. Or was it the fact that he had sex with the women who drew him in more than any other women in his life. Never before has Grant more attracted, interested in, and confused by any women before.

Grant looked over at Piper and his heart felt like a million hands were pulling at the millions of heartstrings that were connected throughout his entire body. Grant reached over and pushed a lock of hair behind Pipers ear, taking in a lungful of her scent.

"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is wing'd cupid painted blind."

Grant smiled and closed his eyes, resting his head on the pillow, truly at peace. Grants eyes opened and he felt the need to write. Grant sat up and patted around for his notepad but then remembered that Piper had his notepad.

Calis Everglad

He quietly followed Vladimir inside the house. The stench of a Lycan greeted him. He was slightly disgusted in thoughts. From the corners of his eyes, he watched Miss O’Neill. His target. So close. Yet so far. However, He knew that he must have to wait. First win the trust of the residents. Especially the trust of Miss O’Neill. He said nothing the whole time, while Vladimir showed everything. As he expected, the house was just as big from the outside, as from the inside. He smiled ad Vladimir prepared a bed for him. Quite amusing to see such beast of a man getting a bed ready. It didn’t fit in the picture he had from the man in his head. He also meant to see a change in attitude of the man when he looked at miss O’Neill just briefly. He saw miss O’Neill reacting as well. Huh. Seems like there was more for the eye. He smiled. “Thank you. Good night Mr. Vladimir.”

When Vladimir was out of the room. He realized something. He now was alone in a room with Miss O’Neill. He could kill her right now, and just beat it. It wasn’t like he really needed a place to stay or so. He really had the urge to just run at her now, and kill her. Prehaps just bite her. He resisted the urge however. The hybrid was still near. The ruckus and sound it would give were possibly enough for the hybrid to come barging into the door, and this hybrid was a specimen that you wouldn’t want to get in a fight with. Not that Calis hated a challenge, but still. He wouldn’t take the risk. Not now. What he learned from his time as a hired gun, was that an assassination required patience. Waiting for the right moment to strike. So, he just sat on the bed and looked at Miss O’Neill. “ It really is a shame that it was broken yes. Good night too you as well Miss O’Neill.”

When Miss O’Neill was out of the room, he took of his jacket, threw at near the bed, and then let himself fall on the soft mattress. It surely was a lot better than the beds he usually slept in. Normally, he slept inside cheap low budget hostels, where you could see paper-hangings, hanging of the wall, and sometimes even mice walking. He grinned. He still couldn’t believe how easy it had been for him to come inside. This Vladimir surely was a weak sympathetic being now was he? Everyone with such story as him could come here. Fool. He then made himself ready to sleep. Onto the next day.

Sasha felt her body tense up as Vladimir laid his head on her shoulder. He was so close to her all of the sudden, it almost made her shy away. Almost......
She pressesd her cheek against his head while he was nuzzling the nape of her neck. Now that he was so close Sasha could smell his scent as well. It tingled in her nose and she smiled, basking in he sweet gentleness of this moment. Without doubt Vladimir would be able to hear the pounding of her heart as it seemed to react to Sasha's nervousness. It was a good nervousness, at least it did not feel awful for the young woman.
"Dyvol?" Sasha giggled at his sudden heavy accent. She noticed the small hint of affection hidden in his words. It warmed her heart and her hand moved to his head.

Slowly she slid her hand in his hair and softly ruffed through his black hair. The white stripe was yet another mystery she had to solve, but Sasha really wanted to get to know him better. The feeling she got from the handsome werewolf vampire drove jer crazy, or was it the rum. Sasha had no idea. Swallowing softly sasha spoke softly, her voice a gentle wisper.
"Vladimir, I do not know what it is you feel but you as well make me feel things I have never felt before in my life""

Gathering her courage Sasha stepped forwards, pressing her body against his. Is it alright to stay like this a little longer?" Sasha dared to ask. She did not wanted for this magical moment to end.@BlackPanther

@Ojo chan 42
Vladimir felt her cheek on his head and smiled. He felt the hand through his hair and chuckled somewhat. He would file these memories into his mind for the rest of his life. He felt a wave of relief at her words. She wasn't pushing him away with disdain. He nodded when she asked to stay like this then paused. She did need sleep. He scooped her up before she could object and lightly laid her on the bed.

He slipped off his boots and slid in next to her. He made no moves to get closer or wrap his arms around her like he so desperately wanted to. He laid on his back allowing for her to decide what she wanted to do. His eyes however, seemed locked on her face. His chest moving with every breath he took and his heart, while slowed, could still be felt.

"Love looks not with the eyes, but with the mind, and therefore is wing'd cupid painted blind."

Piper was exhilarated and exhausted. She had given in to her instincts and it had felt wonderful to her. Grant had apparently been new to the experience although after the first few moment you wouldn't have known it. It was her first time with a vampire. Grant seemed to have had limitless energy and they had been in the bedroom most of the night. She knew he had to rest soon. She rolled over and ducked under his arm and lay her head on his arm and cuddled up with him.

Her mind wandered to the current problem across the planet. Reports were coming in that fear was causing murders on all three species all over. No one was safe and that worried Piper. When all fear each other no one can live safely. They really needed to learn to live together or fix the compact or something. She hadn't heard much from the others that she knew. Most of them had gone underground as soon as it broke.

Piper smiled when Grant went to reach for his book and realized that she still had it, so she reached over and grabbed it from the nightstand and handed it back to him. "Here you go. Write, I know it's driving you mad." She chuckled.

@dabombjk

Sasha drowned in happiness as they stood there, almost embraching eachother yet embraced by the moonlight. 'so this is how it feels to fall in love' Sasha tought as relieve washed over her body as Vladimir agreed to her staying for a bit longer. Her suprise was big when she left herself being scooped up with ease and carried to the bed.

'ho no, like this, isn't that a bit fast' Sasha tought to herself as he laid her down, she held onto his stong ams as he let go of her. She let them slide away, allowing him to take of his boots. Sasha put her hands on her cheeks and felt them burn with heat. ''Thank god it is dark, my entire head must be as red as an tomato'' She said shy as Vladimir took place besides her. Luckely it seemed like Sasha would stay a virgin for a bit longer as Vladimir made no attempt to touch her. He just laid on his back, his intense gaze focussed at her green orbs.

Slowly she moved closer to him and sat up for a bit. Her left hand soon traced the are where his heart was, her fingers carried a slight hesitation with them. As should be expected with someone so inexperienced as she was.
''your heart, it still beats?'' Sasha asked soft and suprised. She tought that vampire's had no heartbeat at all ''Or is it because you are a hybrid?'' She instandly regretted the questions. ''I am sorry, I am a curious creature'' She said and laid her head against his chest, her hand slightly ontop of his chest. ''You can..if you want to.. wrap your arm around me'' She looked at him and gathered her final bit of courage for the evening end moved her head upwards, pressing a soft kiss agaisnt his cheek.

''Good nigth Vladimir'' Sasha said giving him a goodnight kiss. Her eye's felt heavy as she struggled to stay awake. The moment she would hear Vlad's voice is when she would fall into a sweet dream.

Grant Holiday

Grant breathed a sigh of relief and took back hit note pad smiling.

"So does this mean that you trust me now?"

Grant started to write.

"If I should think of love I'd think of you, your arms uplifted, Tying your hair in plaits above, The lyre shape of your arms and shoulders, The soft curve of your winding head. No melody is sweeter, nor could Orpheus So have bewitched. I think of this, And all my universe becomes perfection. But were you in my arms, dear love, The happiness would take my breath away, No thought could match that ecstasy, No song encompass it, no other worlds. If I should think of love, I'd think of you."

Grant closed his note pad and felt much more calm now that he had expressed his thoughts. Grant set his notepad down on the bed then turned to look at Piper.

"Hey so I have a question. A Compact, something that was mentioned earlier, I believe it was said it had broken. What was meant by that? What was it?"

@wick

"The Blood Compact was a treaty between vamps, weres and humans not to spill blood of the other two species. It included feeding on people for blood and all the assumed restrictions. Apparently it is being said that vampires bombed humans. My question to this is why? Vamps could do just as much harm and feed too so I am not sure how this is going to be fixed or if it can be at this point. It's getting out of hand already."

Piper got up and peaked out the window curtains ever so slightly Making sure that there was no light entering the room. Nora had done well. There were windows made of tinted glass underneath the heavy curtains. There was so little light that would come through but yet the person could be seen from the other side during the day. Piper closed the curtain and climbed back into the bed with Grant and lay her head on the pillow.

@dabombjk

@Ojo chan 42
Vladimir chuckled about the comment. "It is, but it's okay" he felt his breath catch when she traced his chest. He managed to nod and inhale enough to speak. "I'm not an ordinary hybrid either." he chuckled and made no moves of stopping her. "It's alright. I've heard in a rather strange creature." he watched her put her head and his chest and lightly obliged and wrapped his arms around her. He was careful not to suffocate her and felt very content.

He smiled after the goodnight kiss and kissed her forehead. "Good night dyvol" he found himself drifting somewhat and blinked. He didn't want to sleep....nightmares were more likely then a sweet dream even with the happiness he was feeling. He ended up glaring at the ceiling. However, fighting it was futile as he drifted into sleep. A sleep he hasn't had for well a very long time. Luckily he does not snore.

Grant Holiday

Grant sighed and speculated the same thing as Piper. Grant had endless reasons and speculations on why someone would want to break the compact. It is not that hard to imagine. But why choose bombing? Grant shook of his thoughts and returned to attention to Piper.

"So lets return to the matter at hand. Who are you?"

Grant cringed and tried again

"Ok that was less than subtle, I apologize. But...I mean I know your Piper Lance and I know your a hybrid. But that is it. I feel like we have this connection but I know not why nor do I have any idea on who you are."

Sasha O'Neill & Jean Belair

Jean awoke to the tunes of ' your name in a rose tatoo, Sasha's alarm. Sleepy he looked at the alarm clock besides his bed and looked at the time, 07:12. The tune continued for what seemed like an eternity before it stopped and Jean closed his eye's again. Sasha was probably going to walk around the house for a bit. He jsut hopend she would be smart enough not to go beyond the fences. after 5 minutes the tune started again and irritated he switched on the light.

''Lassy, your alarm is going.....off'' Jean said, the last word stuck in his troath. Sasha's bed was empty. With a jump he was out of his own bed, the treath made by the other vampire still in his mind. He placed his hand on her matrass, it was cold, very cold. Still in his Pj's Jean ran out of the room a gun in his hand. ''Calm down, maybe she is somehwere in the house'' He said to himself as he went to check ever room.

The biggest suprise laid on the couch in the form of a young vampire. His years at SOLDIER had sharpened his senses and he could just feel the words 'vampire' coming from the sleeping man. Jean let him be, he was sure Vladimir whould have killed him if he was a unknown and not welcomed intruder. He searched further in the house and could not find her. With a sigh he decided it was time to pull Vlad out of his bed. Sasha had probably left for a moring stroll outside the fences or the vamp had sneaked in and taken her.

Without knocking Jean openend the door.
''Vladimir, Sasha is missing. She is nowhere...to..be..found'' Insta regret washed over his face as a nightmare seemed to unfold infornt of him. Sasha laid in the bed of Vladimir, he had his arms wrapped around her. With a firm tug on the door he closed it, a sting of jealosy washing over his heart, it pained him to see her with another. But he could not blame her, he had never even dard to tell her he ahd liked her. Frustrated Jean slammed his hand agaisnt the wall and wnet through the thin wood, smahing a hole in it.

''Dammit Sasha'' He cursed,

at least she was safe

Piper knew that she and Kyle had an amazing connection but she was unsure how deep it went. What if he were really a spy for the vampire council or worse. She highly doubted it but she wasn't just going to spill her history like that. She wanted to trust him completely but she had to be cautious.

"I'm nobody important, just a girl who got caught in the wrong place at the wrong time twice. I grew up in the midwestern U.S. where kids rode their bikes outside and played til the streetlights came on at night. My parents still live there and I call them every now and then. They think I'm in New York and have no idea what I've become." Her expression became one of pain as she said, "my brother and I got into a fight and I had already been made a werewolf. I bit him in a fit of rage and he survived the turning and now he is a werewolf, roaming the earth as I do. I worry about him."

She smiled slightly. "So what don't I know about you Grant Holiday?"

@dabombjk

Grant Holiday

Grant pondered her question and answered hesitantly.

"Well I am no one either. Was a slightly successful author when I was human, was twenty when I was turned. At first I thought it was just a mugging by a man who enjoyed a little kink but I realized my mistake soon after."

Grant took a deep breath.

"I found myself hungry, and my appetite was insatiable. I have never once hunted human before though. My first feeding was my neighbors cat. I always hated that stupid feline, always leaving its movements around outside. I saw it one night and I culd not resist. So I drank it dry. I realized after that what had happened and I have stuck to animal blood ever since."

Grant raised his hand and examined it.

"I found myself having slightly more precise senses than others of my kind, and I can use my blood as a weapon. It is why hurting me is slightly a dangerous move. The more you hurt me the stronger I will become. But I hate being this. I never asked for it. The only good things that have come out of this was I have been able to write more, and I was able to meet you."

Grant looked at Piper and bit his lip.

Vladimir twitched in his sleep, finding nothing but nightmares of the past. It was a fitful sleep at best, but he managed not to cause harm to the one he held in his arms. He faintly heard an alarm...which managed to make its way into his dreams and somehow make them worse. Then he jerked awake from hearing a wall get punched.

Still groggy he ended up speeding out, gripping Jean by the throat and slamming him against a wall. He blinked and yawned. His mouth opened a tad further then what should be possible and blinked again. He realized whom he was holding and dropped him. He helped Jean back up and studied the wall with the hole. "I'm not mad but...what did the wall do to deserve a hole exactly"

@MrZerkon @BlackPanther

Sasha O'Neill & Jean Belair

Within a matter of seconds after Jean's horrible abuse of the wall, the human found a hand wrapped around his troath and he got slammed against the wall. His back hurt from the sudden impact as Jean looked at his attacked. Vladimir was pinning him against the wall, the werewolf had clealry just awoken as a yawn escaped his lips.

''Mornin'' Jean squeeled, his airpipe shut close. Luckely Vlad seemed to realize who it was he had in his hands and dropped him. Jean laid his hand on his sore troath and filled his longues with a well needed breath of air. As the poor human got helped back up he looked at the wall.

''I am sorry'' Jean said still feeling the adrinaline rush through his blood.
''It's just that I thought that Sasha was missing and I went to get you. And well, I guess you can inmagine what I felt when I saw the girl I liked way before she got to know you, laying in your arms'' Jean rubbed his temple as a small headache started to kick in. ''The wall did nothing wrong though, I will fix it'' Jean laughed akward. ''You take care of her though. She can be rather shy even though she doesn't strike you as shy''

---

In the bedroom of Vladimir Sasha awoke by a loud bang. She rushed to the sound only to stumble upon Jean and vlad, they seemed to talk about her. Quickly she hid herself around the corner and listened. She was suprised, stunned to say the least. She had never expected Jean to like her. Sasha had Always seen him as a good friend, an elder brother. As silent as she could Sasha sneaked back to Vladimir's room and crawled back into the bed. She was goint to pretend she had never heard that confession in the first place. No she held their friendship very dear and would not see it destroyed.

---

Returning to Jean, the human still had a little question for Vlad.
''So who is the kid sleeping in the living room?"

Calis Everglad

Calis had a peaceful sleep. Although he had the “black-out” he never really dreamed. It was like this all the time when he slept. They said that if you didn’t dream, you didn’t have a good sleep. Well, maybe that applied for humans, since he never really had been tired. He was awoken from his peaceful slumber from an unknown smell that entered the room. He slowly opened his eyes, and looked around. For a moment he didn’t knew where he was. Then he remembered. He was inside the house where he had tracked Miss O’Neill. He saw another human walking around the house as he searched. This had to be the unkown smell he smelt the other night. He patiently waited for the other human to go out of the room, since he first wanted to study this specimen first before entering a conversation with him. When the human walked out of the room, he sat up. Still half awaking. Then he heard a loud bang coming from somewhere out of the house. What was going on? Hmn. Might as well go see what that was about. Maybe they saw it as a slight sign of concern or so. He then heard a conversation. Nothing important. He then saw Miss O’Neill coming out of the bedroom of the hybrid. Well well..what kind of interesting things happened there? He walked up to her, as she seemed to spy on the conversation. Let’s start be talking to her first. She looked the most easy to start a conversation with anyway. He smiled lightly. “Good morning Miss O’Neill. Is everything alright? You look rather concerned.” He said with his always calm voice.

Rick Hoover

Carrying Nor up the stairs like a bride, Rick regretted not having bought her a white dress of some sorts. ''Maybe we should just live upstairs, never to leave our sacred bubble'' Rick joked as he watched her walk away from him, leaving him hanging. He noticed how she grabbed two wedding rings and told him that they had belonged to her parents.

Rick looked at the small Jewels with respect. ''They are over 500 years old, these should be in a museum'' Rick said, watching Nora take his hand in hers and slide the bigger ring of the pair on his left ringfinger.

With a smile he took the small ring intended for her, from the palm of her hand and gently shoved it on her left ringfinger as well.

''I, Rick Hoover Solemly swear that for the rest of my life I will love you, I will protect you until the last of my life has left me. I will cherish you, honor you and above all respect you for the woman you are'' With a grin he kissed her but then pulled back rummaging through the pockets of his jacket. He pulled out a small box and opened infront of Nora.

''I guess you do not want this one as well'' He said revealing a simple golden wedding ring. A simple red ruby shone in the middle of it and Rick offered it to Nora.
''I worked my ass of for this ring. I wanted to ask for your hand with this one, but as Always things do not go as I have planned''

@Ojo chan 42@MrZerkon
Vladimir looked at Jean a rather strange look. "I understand." he shook his head. "Do not worry about it....I crushed your throat a bit so we are even." he looked a bit sheepish for a moment. "I have ice and tap water...no medication" he paused as he heard said stranger speak to Sasha. He tilted his head. "That pup would be my new client. He paid for my services for as long as we are here"

He then stopped and blinked. "You three will need food...do you like deer?" he held up a hand and made his way to the garage. Inside was a rather large fridge next to a rather large freezer.He opened it to reveal a large amount of animal corpses. He pulled out deer legs made his way back inside where he put the legs on the counter and stared at them rather blankly before shaking his head and putting them back.

He went back to Jean. "I am going to go hunting. I will be right back...most likely not as myself....I hope you can cook because I...can't"

Nora gasped as she looked at the ring. "I would be honored to wear your ring my love." She was trying so very hard not to cry. She held her hand out and he slipped it on right next to the other one. She smiled. The rings actually matched fairly well together.

Nora didn't know what to say to him about what she had planned next. "Tomorrow night I must go to the Vampire council and find out what is going on. I'll need you to help me by staying here so I won't have to worry about your safety. I'll leave tonight as soon as it's dark." She knew he wouldn't like it but she didn't want to risk him around so many vampires.

Nora noticed a new scent in the air and she smiled. "Looks like our little author is a virgin no more." She called down to the kitchen and asked Barkley to send Miss Piper to her room.

Piper and Grant were lying in bed talking when Barkley knocked at the door and Piper got up grabbing a robe and tying it before she opened it. Barkley could see Grant lying in the bed barely covering himself looking very content. He cleared his throat. "Miss Piper, Miss Nora would like you to join her in her room for a moment." Piper looked over her shoulder and said, "I'll return shortly." She could almost feel his disappointment that she had left the room.

Piper knocked on Nora's door and when Nora opened it she smiled knowingly. "I trust you are enjoying Mr. Holiday's company?" Piper chuckled and said "Hello to the both of you. Was there something I can help you with?" Nora nodded, "As a matter of fact there is. I'll be needing you to help me get to the Vampire council tomorrow night." Piper was fairly cool under pressure and this was a lot of pressure. "I trust it is to find out what happens next and to see what can be done to reinstate the compact?" Nora nodded. "That is precisely why we are going." Piper looked at Rick. "You can't be intending to take him there." Nora looked at Rick's unhappy face and she said. "No, he is not going, If you would like you can bring Mr. Holiday with us. I'll leave that up to you."

"Alright, tonight we'll leave." Piper turned away and then turned and smiled. "Congratulations on your vows Mr. and Mrs. Hoover." She turned back as Nora blushed and Piper shut the door behind her.
