Her work was done for the evening, but Mari didn't feel like leaving the office. It was a feeling she couldn't describe. A kind of extra sense, like how she would imagine an animal felt about an approaching storm. Something was not right. The air felt tense.
Dr. Marisol Harrison shared an office space with another therapist who saw people during the day. She was the only doctor in the city that held sessions at night. It was a gamble that had paid off. Most of her clients were vampires like herself, with the odd human here and there. She was getting more human clients though, the word spreading about the lovely female therapist who made everyone feel at ease. One human male had said that being around her felt like a shot of morphine. Of course this was right before he had asked her out, which she had turned down.

It wasn't that she was against humans as some of her kind, mainly the glymera, were. But an interspecies relationship just did not work. Many had tried, very very few had succeeded. Especially once their nature was discovered. Some humans were lucky and could have their memories removed and go on with their lives.
The ones whose minds could not be cleansed?
Many sacrifices had been made for the protection of the race.

It had been a miracle of the Scribe Virgin that Gage had been nearby when she had gone into transition. If he hadn't, Mari surely would have died from either pain or starvation. It had almost been too late once he had found her.
Picking up her shoulder bag, Mari locked the office and walked down to the street. She had enough time to stop by the all-night Chinese place before heading home. She put her head down and walked fast. This side of town was not awesome to walk in during the day not to mention at night. But this was the cheapest office space her and the other therapist could afford right now.

It was near an alley that a sickly sweet smell hit her nose. Her body went rigid.
No...
That sweet smell... like baby powder... the scent of Lessers.

She was about to hurry past the alley when the sound of fighting and cries of pain made her stop. Peering around the corner, she spotted around five Lessers surrounding a male vampire, beating him and demanding answers about The Brotherhood.
The Brotherhood? Mari's breath caught at the thought of the large powerful warriors who helped protect the race. No civilian vampires knew much about them, where they lived, how to contact them. It was safer that way. Or at least it was supposed to be.

Mari cringed at the smell and appearance of the Lessers. Pale hair, pale eyes, thin bodies... once the Omega took their soul the former humans paled out gradually until no color was left on them. They were impotent as well, unable to taste or feel pleasure. The Omega was a cruel master.
They would kill that male when they were done with him. She had to do something.
Rushing into a group of Lessers was not smart. She would end up dying too after being beaten. Fumbling in her bag she pulled out her cellphone. Human police did not frighten the Lessers, but the threat of exposure and the red tape of the human legal system was enough to get them to leave. She was in the process of speaking to 911 when she was spotted. She screamed as two came towards her. She pulled out her pepper spray, knowing it would not stop them but would slow them down.
The male begged her to run but she stood her ground, spraying the Lessers that came at her right in the eyes with the blinding spray.

Lilia wouldn't sat that her day had been going very well. Her parents were off on vacation but she had started to feel slightly sick so she declined going. Her mother had offered to stay home with her but Lilia knew how much her mother had been looking forward to this trip to she put on a brave face and promised to check in every night. Besides, Lilia knew that it probably wasn't anything life threatening; she'd take some medicine and she would be good to go. But that didn't mean she wasn't feeling miserable. She had given up on getting any sleep and had decided she was going to go for a walk. Probably not the best time of day to be going for a walk but she was feeling restless and the house was beginning to feel too stuffy. Besides, she wasn't completely without protection; her mother made sure she carried her taser with her where ever she went. In was a habit now to double check that it was in her coat pocket. So she left the empty house and began walking in a random direction, though she made sure to remember what turns she made because she definitely didn't want to wander around aimlessly and end up getting lost.

Thankfully, she wasn't too lost in thought to miss the sudden scream that rang out. Lilia jumped, whirling in a circle as she tried to pinpoint the direction the noise had come from. Just up the street, barely able to be made out in the darkness, she saw figures scuffling. She edged closer and gasped when she picked out a woman amongst the group of attackers. Her hand jerked her phone out of her pocket and dialed 911 in the same movement. However, a monotone beeping was the only thing that reached her ears and she glanced at the screen, gritting her teeth when her phone read that it had no service. Now, of all times?! She took a deep breath, turning back to the woman being attacked as her hand pulled her taser from its resting place. She wasn't just going to stand by while some woman was being attacked, she had to help.

Repeating that over and over to herself like a mantra, the tiny young woman gripped her taser as she took another breath before she darted forward. She picked the one closest to her, jamming the taser prongs against their side and pressing the button to send electric volts through the figures body.

Vischous was strapped and ready to go out and look for a fight. He had such a horrible week and barely left the main estate. He put on his black leather jacket, black button down shirt, and his black jeans. He had a bullet proof jacket on underneath as well. People sometimes seem to over react in a dangerous spot. Once his boots were on he strapped his Katana across his back and holstered his 9mm on his hip under the jacket. He heard reports of a hotspot nearby and headed out in his BMW C230 Compressor to the location avoiding all main roads. As he was headed down one alley he saw something shocking. Lessers attacking a vampire. He pressed a button on his steering wheel. "Call Rhage and Zsadist." He said putting his blue tooth in his ear. He got out of the car running to the fight.

At first the fight appeared to be two vampires and one human trying to fight them off. He knew they did not stand a chance. They were clearly not warriors. He ran up to the lessers screaming out. “Hey you monsters.” He said loudly. “Why not come pick a fight with someone more powerful.” He said so to get the attention of them. As he got closer to the human he could tell he was very wrong about her. Damn…She is about to go through the change…He thought to himself. She probably doesn’t have a single clue either. I need to keep her safe. He thought to himself as he pulled out his sword to be able to get rid of these damn creatures. She was taking a Taser to one of them. He could not let her get to close to them. “Back off.” He yelled to the girl taking the sword and stabbing it through the lesser closest to her in the chest with a single thrust. He used his other hand to grab her and start to run back away from them. “Go to my car and stay in there. Don’t leave.” He said knowing they would try to go after her knowing how weak she was. He did not want them to use her as a target.

The music was pumping like a heartbeat outside the club. A large figure in black leaned against the wall. When you wanted to find out info or hear gossip, the human hotspot of alcohol and depravity was the place to go. Rhage wasn't going to pretend that he didn't appreciate the pieces of cloth that passed for clothing on the decent looking women. He didn't have to taste their blood to know that they were filled with disease. Just because vampires could not catch human diseases did not mean he wanted to taste the foul stuff in their blood.
And there were more then a few human women, and a man or two, eyeing the impressive figure. Rhage had the air of a predator that called to the baser instincts of humans, either desire or fear.

His stomach rumbled and his mind started thinking about a large pizza or four. And if the guys wanted any they could get their own damn pizza.
He pulled out his phone to call Noah, the Doggen of the Brotherhood mansion, to make the old man happy by asking him to cook him up some pizza, when his phone buzzed with a call from Vischous. Rhage swore. How come that bastard always found the action first?

Waving a woman he was certain was a prostitute away and ignoring her downcast expression, Rhage got into the Escalade and drove towards his Brother's GPS location, a huge grin on his face. Time for some fun...



She cursed inwardly the moment the scream left her lips. The call to the police had been to scare off the Lessers, not actually draw attention. Her bag fell as the Lesser reached for her through the haze of pepper spray, snarling at her in anger. The smell was horrendous.

Then things went from bad to worse. A human female joined in the fray. What the hell? This was all they needed. A human getting involved and getting herself killed or worse.
"Get out of here!" she called to the female as a sudden dangerous presence made her head turn towards the end of the alley where a car had just driven up. A large male clad in black came forward, rescuing the human female and attacking the Lessers.
Mari's eyes were wide in shock. It was one of them! One of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. She had never actually seen one before!

A cold hand grabbed at her neck and she instinctively bit down. Hard.
Black blood surged into her mouth and she gagged from the sludge-like taste. Going to her knees, she spat the nasty blood onto the ground. Her bag flew open, the contents scattering.

The civilian male had run away the moment the Brother had shown up and the Lessers had turned to attack the Brother, the object of their search.

Zsadist needed a fight but the lessers didn't seem to want to accommodate him. He growled low in his throat. If he didn't fight he was going to have to do something he didn't want to do. His demons were hounding him. And there was only one way to quiet them. Well two but the second one wasn't happening ever again. Pain he could handle. But touch. That brought back too many memories.

Fortunately his dark thoughts were interpreted by a call from V. Thank the Scribe Virgin he thought. He held his phone tight as he used V's voice to telephoto from his side of the town to where his brother had found a fight for him to join. He pocketed his phone as soon as his shitkickers hit the ground. He pulled out his knives with a wicked grin. One that looked all the scarier because of his scar. "Thanks for the invite."

He ran to the nearest lesser. He didn't bother to look around. If there were humans around his brothers could deal with them. He wasn't good with people. They tended to be afraid of him before he even had a chance to speak. So it was better to focus his attention on the enemy. He shoved his knives into the nearest lesser. Who happened to have grabbed a female. Zsadist barely noticed the woman. He shouldered her back."Get out of here!" He growled.

Juni stood on the porch of her home watching the forest with intent watching for large movement. There had been a warning out for Lesser's and she had her fathers shot gun by her leg and her switch blade was in her hand. She switched it in and out with a flick of her wrist. Juni heard foot steps and her head turned to see a familiar friendly friends.

He smiled brightly."I see you are well prepared."

"I have to Michel or else I would be shamin' my father." She says a bit of a accent coming out. Juni turned her head and watched the forest listening to it instead of her friends footsteps.

"Oh, I see." She heard a sound of gun clicking and turned her head with a smile. Michel stood there with a rifle with a wide smile and stood leaning against the other pillar on the farm house."Good thing father had given me the rifle huh?"

"Yeah, it is." Juni says with a smirk before returning to the forest. She felt a hand on her shoulder and looks over to see her father."Hi papa."

"Are they here yet?" Sam asks grabbing his shotgun.

"Not yet." Michel says.

"Jun-bug you get inside." He says to the woman. When she went to speak he gave her a look that made her be quiet. He kisses the top of her head.

Juni jogs over to Michel and gives him a side hug before rushing inside closing the iron door behind her with a sigh.

@KatherinWinter



Out of nowhere another Brother appeared, but this one... this one was different.
His face... his face was scarred... he had the tattoos of a blood slave on his wrists and neck. Who could have made a Brother a blood slave? Blood slaves had finally been banned nearly a hundred years before so this was not recent. He was just as big and strong as the first Brother but there was a quality about him that made him terrifying. She felt afraid of this Brother.

She was brought from her musings by a hand in her hair. The Lesser she had bitten had hoisted her up by her hair and snarled into her face. "Damn leech!" he snapped at her before slamming her back against a wall, knocking the wind from her. He took her phone from her hand. The dispatch woman was still yelling at Marisol, trying to get a location from her to send patrol cars. The Lesser crunched the phone into his fist, dropping the broken pieces before dragging her by her hair along the ground. Mari's hands went to the top of her head, as though she could stop the pain somehow by clutching her head. She screamed again, kicking wildly.

The Lesser picked up the gun he had dropped and pointed it to her forehead. "Say goodnight bitch."



Rhage drove up and parked along the street. There were sounds of a scuffle going on. He swore harshly. They were too far into the city for him to let the Beast out. He would have to be careful and keep his emotions under control-

His attention snapped as a scent in the air made the male in him snarl. A female.
A female close to transition.
Shit. There went controlling himself.
The thought of a female in such a state being attacked by Lessers had his eyes turned white. A sign the Beast was fighting to get out. Rhage closed his eyes, his fists clenched so tightly on the steering wheel the thing made noise in protest and his knuckles were white. He could not lose it here. He could NOT lose it here. His mind told him to get the hell away, but his instincts to protect a female were going into overdrive.

So he did the only thing he could. Trusting his Brothers to take care of things, Rhage dematerialized to the open country out near the Brotherhood mansion. There, in the forest, he let loose.
The Beast broke free in a blast of blinding white light. The creature, looking like a mixture of a tiger and a dragon, roared loudly to the sky and started to run, searching for anything to tear apart. Unfortunately some mountain lions were unlucky enough to be found in his path. They didn't last more than a breath as he ripped them to shreds like paper.

@Belle@KatherinWinter@DeadlyPhoenix
Lilia quickly realized she was way in over her head. Two men seemed to come from thin air and one of them had a...sword? What kind of person carried that around in the middle of the night?! Lilia backed away, eyes wide as her head whipped from each person. This...As much as she wanted to help, this was too much for her. Hands shaking but still tightly gripped around her taser, she continued to back away. Get in his car, why in the world would she get into the car of a man she's never meet before?! Nope, she was going home and she was going home right now! She suddenly winced, hand lifting up to cup her mouth as a whimper escaped her. She began to shake, feeling like her body had been lit ablaze. She tried to stumble away from the scene but before she could take more than two steps, she was hit by a pain unlike anything she's ever felt before. Her legs crumpled beneath her and she bounced against the pavement, legs curling to her chest in the fetal position as her mouth opened in a silent scream, vocal cords locked up tight from the agony her body was currently experiencing.

She felt like she was being burned alive and ripped apart all at the same time. Tears cascaded down her cheeks as she shuddered, curling up tighter into herself.

@Belle
Zsadist growled under his hreath. The lesser had somehow slip by him and grabbed the female. Which irritated him. Lessers were not supposed to get past him. He took off after the lessers. He flinched at the sight of the lesser dragging the woman along. He couldn't let the woman distract him. He need to get her out of here. They were going attract attention if he didn't end this soon. It didn't take long for his long legs to eat up the distance between him and the lesser.

"Goodnight Bitch." He growled as he stabbed the lesser in the back. He flinched as the black blood touched his skin. He had that stuff. He cleaned his hand on the lesser's shirt before offering his hand to the woman. He doubted she would take it. Between his scars and golden eyes he wasn't the sort to encourage trust. Unfortunately for the female ye was the only one around. So if she wanted a hand up she would gave to accept his.

@KatherinWinter@XxLyraxX

Vischous stabbed two or three more lessers as he felt something was horribly wrong. He turned to see the vampire girl was about to go through the change too fast. "Shit... We have to get her out of here." He screamed out to Zsadist. "She needs help and so does she." He said pointing to the other female that was bitten by the lesser. He killed two more lessers as he went over picking up the woman as she was in the fetal position. "I am going to help you. Please just remain calm. If you worry and stress it hurts worse." He said running to his car and put her in the passenger seat. He hoped she would let him help her. He didn't want to fight her to help through the change.

A roar had caught the two male vampires attention as well as the female inside. Juni stared wide eyed at the forest before curiosity over came her fear. Looking out at her father and best-friend who had heard something else and went running. Juni felt her heart beating really fast when she heard yelling.

She flipped out her blade when she heard whispers. Then pale figures came into the view of the front windows which Juni quickly hid behind a wall and listened as they opened the door. The woman peaks from behind the walk and her eyes widen when she see's her best-friend kneeling there. She went to move to help him but Michel shook his head and the tears began to rise in Juni's eyes watching the Lesser's drag her much bigger and dead father into the house. Covering her mouth with her free hand she watched Michel who had a hard look in his eyes but when he looked at her he mouthed one word. "Backdoor".

"Search the house there was one more with them." A lesser spoke. Grunts were heard and then footsteps making Juni panic a bit before looking at the back screen door." Last time. Where is she?"

"Long gone asshole."

Juni held her own breath when she heard the cut of flesh and a thud. Michel is dead, Her papa is dead and she was on her own in a house full of lesser's. She can't let those death's go to vain she quickly made her way to the back door quietly looking back she saw the body's holding in her cries she slipped out the door. Running fast as possible she went to find help to get her fathers Farm back that is until she heard yelling.

Juniper stops listening it was lesser's they were hunting for her. Trying to throw them off she ran in different directions in circles before running away when the yelling got louder. She finally stopped thinking what was the point? Juni felt her heart aching when her father and Michel came into her mind. She sat down on a log and waited for the lesser's to come find her. She wasn't going down without a fight but she knew she wasn't the fastest runner. Juni switched out her blade and let those pent up tears fall but didn't make a noise.

@KatherinWinter@WildRose



Marisol closed her eyes. But the shot never came.
"Goodnight bitch," a harsh voice said before the sound of metal piercing through flesh was heard. Mari opened her eyes as the Lesser fell to the side, the large scarred Brother standing over her. He extended his hand.

For a few moments all Mari could do was stare. He was powerful. He was enormous.
He was... magnificent. Like an avenging angel from human lore.
As the thoughts crossed her mind she shoved them away. The Brothers were not magnificent, they were terrifying. Stories of their ruthlessness abounded amongst the race. They were not heroes, they were warriors. A necessary evil for the protection of the race.

But he was offering to help her up. The gesture was unexpected but she wasn't about to scoff at his offer. Unlike the glymera, civilian vampires such as herself did not feel that others were beneath their aristocratic bloodlines.
She took his hand, noticing how her own was shaking. She was dirty, her clothes rumpled, black blood on her mouth still. She wiped it away with her other hand that was equally shaking. "That stuff tastes like shit," she said, the light swear as bad as her language got.

Terrifying as he was, his golden eyes caught and held her attention. She realized she was staring but couldn't help it. She never thought she would even see a Brother, let alone make contact with one.
Swallowing hard past her suddenly dry throat, she managed to stammer out, "Th-thank you."
A random thought in the back of her mind wondered if they ever got thanked for what they did.

The one Lesser left alive from the encounter disappeared into the night. Marisol finally broke the contact to search for her bag. She gathered the papers that had scattered, files of her clients, and a few other odds and ends along with the pieces of her destroyed cellphone. It was when she searched for her wallet that she gasped in alarm.
"My wallet! It's gone!" she exclaimed. All of her information was in there. Her address, her driver's license, her bank card, her office ID...
Had the Lesser taken it?



The scent of a female had the Beast's head turning. Female... and the scent of fear... a scared female... and the sweet scent of Lessers...
With another bellowing roar the Beast took off in the direction of the female. He followed her scent and the scent of the Lessers, both getting closer.
He came upon the Lessers first but he could sense the female hiding nearby. They would find her soon.
Anger boiled inside as he attacked the enemies viscously. The Lessers never stood a chance. With screams of terror they were torn apart within minutes. The Beast kept attacking and ripping and biting until there were only black smears and torn bits of clothing where the Lessers had once stood. Black blood coated his fangs and mouth, dripping down his chest.

The Beast threw his head back and roared his victory. Then he began to scent the area, searching for the female he had sensed. Once he found her he snarled but didn't approach her. He stared hard at her, baring his teeth. Once the Beast was certain the female was unharmed a bright light engulfed the Beast and the area around him. Once it faded Rhage lay on the ground, completely naked and body contorted in pain. He was out cold and gasping for breath, his energy spent.

Juni's head snapped up hearing loud thuds then the sound of flesh tearing. Standing form where she sat she began to walk towards the noise before jumping back a bit. A loud roar sounded making her cover her ears and closing her eyes when she opened them she felt..scared and surprised. A best came out from the forest blood dripping from its mouth it was looking at her letting out a growl. This cause Juni to tremble a bit before a bright light blinded her.

When it had gone a man laid in front of her butt naked. Putting the switch blade away she slowly makes her way over to the man and instantly felt bad. His body was contorting in pain and he was gasping for breath she slowly kneels next to the male carefully.

"Shh." She whispers reaching out hesitantly touching the mans face. Deciding to forget the monster and the fact the man was naked Juni came around the male and put his arm around her shoulders."Lets get to the house." She says with a grunt thanking Mother that she had been raised carrying hay barrels and lifting heavy. Because she doubted that she could have at least dragged the man if she hadn't done that. After getting to her house her eyes widen seeing it burning. She drags the man towards the barn where she heard her horses whining. She puts him by a fence before rushing into the Barn. She started opening the gates letting the horses and cows out. She rushes back out side and taking the man back.

"Okay, plan B. The Shed has some clothes." She says going towards the gray shed by the barn. Once she opened the door she places the man down and sighs. Juni stood up going to a blue box and reaching in to get the clothes.

@Belle

@Belle
Zsadist was surprised by the woman's shaky thanks. In all of his long life he had never been thanked. Sometimes his brothers did but never him. The Brotherhood was seen as a necessary evil, and maybe they were. No one wanted toacknowledge them any more then they had to. In some way he was thankful for that attitude, although he thought his brothers deserved better.

He cursed under his breath when he saw the lesser run awsy. He thought about going after him until he noticed the woman was searching for something. When she announced her wallet was missing he closed his eyes and cursed again. He opened them and scanned the area. He was searching for signs of the wallet or his brothers. But Vischous was no where to be seen. He remembered the other warrior saying something about a female and transition. Which made him thankful he hadn't gotten stuck with that female. Still he was stuck with this one and he had to see her to safety since no one else was around.

"Looks like your coming with me sweetheart. Bike or phone?" He growled. Neither would be a pleasant experience for him but he couldn't leave her here. He put a hand on her shoulder to make sure she understood that running wasn't an option.

@WildRose@KatherinWinter



Rhage was vaguely aware of someone trying to lift him up. He was solid muscle, but they were welcome to try.
Scenting the air he realized the being trying to heft him was a female. Instantly he groaned with the effort to bear most of his weight on himself and off of her. He still relied on her to steer him in the right direction though, since everything was currently spinning like a tilt-a-whirl at the carnival.

"Tell them I want off this ride," he mumbled incoherently, his eyes squeezed shut as he tried not to vomit. His next cohesive thought was that the sun was coming up. After a brief panic he realized it was just a house on fire.

Wait... that was bad... A house on fire was bad! His eyes struggled open and he took in the flames. Instinctively he moved his body, fighting the fatigue and pain, to shield the female at his side. It was then that another realization hit him.

He was very naked.
With a female.
That smelled very good.

Rhage groaned. Dammit to the seventh circle of hell. His Beast growled, the tattoo on his back shifting. "No damn you," he snarled through gritted teeth at the Beast. "You got me into this mess in the first place."
Once it dawned on him that he'd said that out loud he groaned again. "Sorry, wasn't talking to you I swear," he told the female in case there was a misunderstanding. "Clothes. Clothes sound awesome."
In the shed he found jeans, made for a smaller male, and a shirt, also made for a smaller male. Rhage's body was the huge warrior body of a Brother. Clothes shopping was difficult, especially for him since whenever his Beast came out his clothes got shredded. He ended up wrapping a large piece of canvas cloth around his waist.

Every movement was pain. He groaned and gritted his teeth. The smell of the female hit him again and he groaned for a different reason, but ruthlessly shoved it aside.
"Look... ah... I'm ah, sorry you had to see that," he told the female, pain lacing his voice. He peered out at the burning house. "You and your family can, ah... you can follow me. I'll see to it that you find a new place to stay... if Vischous and Zsadist don't kill me first," he added in a mumble. It had to have been the Lessers that did this. And even though he had devoured the bastards Rhage wished they were still alive just so he could kill them again. When would the assholes stop bringing civilians into this? If they wanted the Brotherhood, just come after the Brotherhood. It angered him that they snuck around and attacked innocents in order to draw out their enemies. It was cowardly and underhanded.



The male's growl made her jump, a small sound akin to a squeak escaping her throat. Coming with him? She didn't think so. He was a Brother. She didn't know him. Didn't know anything about him other than his status as a warrior. Heck no. On so many levels.
The words 'stranger danger' kept flashing like a neon sign in her mind as she stood up.

"N-no Warrior," she said, cursing her still shaking voice and form. It wasn't fear of the Brother that made her shake. Alright it wasn't only fear of the Brother that made her shake. It was the adrenaline and the fact that she had come so close to dying. "I am grateful for your help. But I s-shall not inconvenience you. I have a friend I can go to," she said, "if he's home," she added quietly. Gage and Will wouldn't mind her coming to their house for a few days. The gay vampire couple would baby her and feed her chocolate until she felt better.

Unsure of what else to do, she held her hand out to the Brother to shake his hand. His eyes were like molten gold. Despite the cool night air, Marisol felt herself growing warm under that molten stare. Her cheeks heated and she knew she was probably blushing, to her embarrassment.

The sound of sirens in the distance broke the moment and she strangely felt a brief moment of regret. She swallowed hard. "We'd better leave before the human authorities get here."

"You wish to put your friend in danger?" Zsadist asked with a growl and a raised eyebrow. He knew they were running out of time. The last thing he needed was to be sighted by the cops. His appearance didn't exactly shout innocent. He didn't want to force her but he would if he had to. He couldn't allow her to put someone else in danger. The lesser might not search for her but until they knew for sure he wasn't letting her our of his sight.

"Bike or car sweetheart? I'm not leaving you alone." He asked her again. He was doing his best to ignore the way his body was reacting to her. He hadnt reacted to a female like this since his transition. He didn't like it at all. But he couldn't leave her until she was safe. He looked to the edge of the alley. Time was up. He would have to come back for his bike later. "Too late."He pulled his phone out and called the Doggen. When Noah picked up he used the open line to flash them to the Black Dagger mansion.

@Belle

Juni had turned away from the man remaining silent as she sighed in relief. The man was nothing like the monster she saw just a matter of minutes ago. She heard him shift and groan before she turns seeing the male standing there he was trying to manage his pain she could tell by his face and his voice.

Juni lets out a chuckle"Oh no it's fine. I mean I've handled animals all my life. I mean they weren't huge badass 'holy shit a fucking dragon tiger thing' but still." She says letting out an awkward laugh. Before going quiet at the mention of family her face went stoic and she shakes her head as she spoke the truth that she had wanted to run from."I don't have anymore family..the lessers killed them all." She says she coughs wiping her tearing eyes.

@WildRose@KatherinWinter


With a rush and a gasp Marisol found herself somewhere else entirely. In front of a mansion. With another gasp she jerked herself away from the large male. Her fear spiked and her shaking became more pronounced. "What... Where...?" she asked, looking around bewildered before her wide eyes met the male's golden ones again. "Why did you bring me here? I was fine. Let me leave," she said with far her bravado then she felt. This warrior could snap her in half without breaking a sweat. Probably with little effort expended at all, like how another would snap a toothpick. His arms looked like spun steel and his face... good Scribe Virgin his face looked almost
evil. The scar and the terrifying look in his hard eyes made him look positively wicked.

And she had just been basically kidnapped by him.
She couldn't calm herself down enough to materialize away. She backed away from the male like a cornered doe, putting some distance between herself and him. Tears threatened the spill from her eyes. "Please, just let me leave. I won't tell anyone I saw you or the other Brothers I swear by the Scribe Virgin. You will never see me again."



The female explained her family was gone. "Shit. That's... shit..." Rhage said, running a hand through his hair. "Look, I'm really sorry. I... ah... shit," he stammered. Female tears made him uncomfortable. He didn't know what to do with one that was crying. His only dealings with females had been quick service. Wham, bam, thank you ma'am kinda thing. The last time he had been around a female for any other reason had been when he had gotten his Beast from a VERY pissed off female who he never wanted to run into again. That the female was the Scribe Virgin herself made things... sticky, to say the least.

His hand moved without him giving it leave to, like it was moving on instinct. His large hand engulfed her shoulder. He had a fleeting thought that her hair was soft before clearing his throat uncomfortably. "Listen ah... might as well just say it. My name is Rhage. I am one of the Black Dagger Brotherhood. I'm not claiming to be the best example of a male of worth here but... I can't leave you out here. So come with me back to the Brotherhood Mansion. It's not far from here actually. You can stay there in safety for a few days until you figure out what to do. And I promise to remain clothed the whole time too, as an added bonus," he added with his signature playful grin.

His Brothers often got annoyed with Rhage because of his laid-back wise-cracking behavior. He was definitely the comic relief of the Brotherhood, but they also understood that there was a reason behind it. He hadn't always been this way. The mistakes of his past had cost him a high price.

Lilia didn't know how long she had laid there, it could have been a few minutes or a few hours. The fire racing through her veins occupied her mind so much that the passing of time was lost on her. All she knew was that she was hurting and she was scared because she didn't understand how or why. Had she been shot? Tased? She tried to process just what had happened but her mind was growing fuzzy, trying to protect itself from the agony she was experiencing. She was distantly aware that her mouth was burning as well, pressure over her two canines but that small pain was lost amidst the larger pain causing her body to shudder. She was vaguely aware of someone scooping her up but in her state she could do nothing but whimper as her hands unconsciously clung tightly to the shirt of the person carrying her. The words they spoke were lost, drowned out by the roaring in her ears. If she had been in a right state of mind she would have been flailing to escape the arms holding her. She was set down on a surface and she curled back up again, small cries escaping her as tears continued to stream down her cheeks. Just what in the hell was happening to her?!

Vischous could tell she was not going to make it to the mansion at this rate. He ripped his sleeve on his shirt and got in the drivers seat. He held his wrist out in front of her lips. "Don't question...do what you need to." He said knowing she would bite down and drink from him. That is the reason her body is on fire. "Drink now and it will get better." He said as he sped off in the car going as fast as he could with out drawing attention to them.
