Neveah shifted slightly, though she was perfectly comfortable in her seat. She stared out of the huge Gothic windows into the night. The moon was nearly full, and it shone brightly into the room, keeping it well lit despite the braziers. You could nearly see her dark veins beneath the thin layers of porcelain skin. Her slender fingers curled around the edges of the arm rests of the throne she sat upon. She spent much of her time there, ensuring everything inside and outside the coven went smoothly. Vampires were extremely common this day in age, and part of her job was to make sure that their own race, as well as the humans didn't come to odds. They had formed a sort of alliance back when she was roughly 212, but at that point she wasn't the one calling the shots.

Her eyes drifted from the window, back to the room before her. To either side of her, were her consorts. Emmanuel and Xavier. She was fond of both of them, but they acted for the most part, as her body guards. Though when the night was done and she was ready to retreat to her chambers, she often brought one, or both of them along. Living for so long, though not too long compared to The Ancients, was often lonely. She felt a pang of guilt often when she invited them to her bed, though they always followed willingly. Despite that she spent the days physically close with them, she had no romantic attachment to either. It was unfair in many ways, knowing they could have their own families and wives of their own. But, they never seemed to want to stray from her side. They were the most loyal of people she had happened across in her life time, and for that she was grateful.

Morning would come soon and Neveah was beginning to grow tired.

"You two are dismissed," she said, her voice like a song of silver notes. It was a high soprano, though luxurious somehow. It dripped with passion and desire even when she wasn't intending it to.

The two men nodded silently and stood, waiting for her to follow suit. They walked her to her chambers and then bowed to her as she slipped through the partly open door. Emmanuel and Xavier waited for the familiar clink of the door locking before departing to their own separate chambers. Though they slept in different areas from Neveah, both were close enough to hear or smell if something was happening.

Once the door was shut tightly behind her, Neveah shifted with impossible speed toward her washroom. Her cool skin turned on the water to her jet tub, hot at first to steam the room, then at a more tolerable temperature for her to bathe in. Her long white hair flowed down along her back, and she unpinned the two curls that framed the temples on her forehead. She watched them fall in the mirrors reflection of her. She undressed slowly to ensure her dress wouldn't be worn out, and shifted to place it on a hanging rack made specific for her gowns.

On her way back to the bath, she stopped once again to look at herself in the mirror. It was funny, she thought for a moment, that people would assume a vampire would have no reflection. Most of their stories weren't true. Not many people tried to get close enough to a vampire to find out the truth though. Her eyes were beginning to shift from silver to red, which indicated her tiredness and also a thirst rising within her. She sighed softly, and brushed some pieces of her hair away from her face. Her features were strong, but also somehow gentle. She was stunning to look at, her body perfect and tiny. She was fairly short, standing at a mere 5 feet 2 inches, but she wouldn't let her height fool anyone. She turned away finally and moved the couple feet into her deep bath tub. It was a lovely change from sitting in that cold throne the entire day. Before she closed her eyes, Neveah calculated through her senses that she had roughly an hour and 42 minutes before the sun would begin to rise, and with that thought, she dozed off into a deep sleep.

It was reaching the end of the night as Aerendyl appeared from the forest outside Ravenshire. The small town had a hazy mist traveling through as dawn slowly approached. It was beautiful and made him feel like he was at home. Guess this is my home now. He thought as he arrived at his little small cottage next to the tavern. It was fitting for a man of his... Stature to say the least. For as much as Aerendyl was an elf, he was also a werewolf. unlike most werewolves though, he lived a lot longer and had to deal with the fact that he was still and elf and age still carry's with him. being 400 though definitely has its perks. the amount of battles he got to be apart of was definitely work it.

Aerendyl looked up at the moon one more time before entering his room and sighed. Just a few more days and I'll have to get out of here again. I'll let Danny know before I take off. Ask him to keep the roudy's out. Danny was the owner of the Tavern next door. The only person who knew anything about Aerendyl's past and what he was. Every full moon Aerendyl would ask him to keep watch over the house for him even though he knew no one would come into it. Not like he had much to take as it is. Whenever Aerendyl would leave he would take all his weapons with him, not that he'd need them.

The moon shined bright, almost full at the looks of it, and Aerendyl made his way into the cottage and locked the door behind him. He then turned on the lights, kicked off his muddy boots, then made his way to the bathroom. In the light finally, blood could be seen dripping from his face and chest. Already shirtless, He turned the shower on full blast. His shower was fully enclosed with no way for the steam to escape. Made it easier for him to clean to blood off himself. As he removed his pants and entered the could of steam, Aerendyl though of the tale of how werewolves only come out on a full moon. Always made him laughed because if that were the case then whoever started that rumor should talk to the couple of moose that he just taken down. As much as he could turn into a werewolf whenever he wanted to, a full moon made him lose control and very dangerous to everyone around him. From what he knows only one person is able to keep the beast in check when ravenous. For that to happen Aerendyl would have to imprint on someone but after 250 years of this life he kinda lost hope that that was ever going to happen. Made for a lonely life but, he was content with it. Didn't want to put anyone elses life at rick if he could avoide it.

Scrubbing the blood off, Aerendyl started to feel a little tired. It was another allnighter he just pulled. Once done, he grabbed the towel closest to him and dried off. He then grabbed his pants and tossed them into an already bloody pile of clothes. I need to do those when I get up. He said aloud as he then heard a knock on his front door. He wrapped the towel around himself then strolled on over to the door. Sigh Who could possible want my attention this early in the morning. As he approached his door, sun was already starting to shine through the window. The mist still looked like it covered the town, but this was normal for Ravenshire. The mist never really goes away. Once at the door, Aerendyl slowly unlocked it and opened to see Danny standing in the doorway.

Danny, what are you doing here this early? You know this is when I go to sleep. It's been a long night too and I'd rather just go to sleep. Can't whatever it is wait until later? He sighed as he leaned against the door. Aerendyl I'm sorry to bother you like this. You know normally I wouldn't come to you like this but we've been having a bit of a.. umm...

Aerendyl shifted slightly as a new smell just reached his nose. He quickly pulled in Danny before he was able to finnish and slammed the door shut. He then pushed Danny against the door and snarled. Another perk of being a werewolf, he could still snarl as if he was in wolf form. You haven't been bitten have you?! Danny gasped as he was pushed then cowered sightly knowing what could happen if he answered poorly. No I haven't, but I can see that you already know the news. The just arrived this morning and asked for a room in the tavern for the day. I can only assume that something's going to happen tonight. I wanted to ask you if you would keep a watch on them make sure nothing bad happened.

Aerendyl growled to himself and backed away from Danny. This was the last thing that he needed to hear this close to the full moon. As much as no one else knew it, Aerendyl did his best to protect the town when he could. You know it's almost a full moon right? Isn't there a hunter around that could deal with this? He sat down in his recliner and placed head in his leaft hand. Yes but I don't trust anyone else with something like this other than you. I know how close it is to the full moon and I promise I'll make it up to you. Free drinks on me for the next month? Now this was something he liked to hear. As much and it took a while for him to even remotely get drunk, Danny always took care of him. Alright I'll do it, but if this lasts I need you to get everyone out of the town. Or atleast close the tavern. That should keep people away from this area atleast. Danny thanked Aerendyl and left slightly realizing what he just agreed to as the door shut behind him, sealing the deal. Aerendyl sighed again and locked the door, taking the towel off as he reached his bed. Vampires. Why did it have to be Vampires. He groaned as he shut his eyes and fell into a deep slumber.

Neveah's slumber was suddenly interrupted by three loud thuds against her chambers door. She was still in the bath, but the water had turned cold. She sighed out softly, and could sense that only a couple of hours had passed by since she had originally sunk down into the hot water. She dried herself off quickly, only leaving a few beads on water along her neck and jaw line, and wrapped herself in a silk robe. She thought maybe it was Emmanuel or Xavier wanting attention. Despite that most of the rest of the castle used the original candles and such for light, her rooms had been updated as the years went by. It came with everything modern she loved and needed.

She flicked on a light near the door and reached to unlock it slowly, pulling the heavy wooden door open just enough to see outside into the hallway. There stood a messenger, holding a slip of paper. Neveah lifted her right eyebrow up into a slim arch to resemble a question, and looked at the young man curiously. "What is it, love?" she asked him softly. She could see his eyes beginning to wander and she snapped her fingers once to regain his attention before taking the paper from between his thumb and index finger. "I'm sorry your Highness..." he said, waiting for her to read the note. Neveah then wondered for a brief moment why people simple didn't just phone her.

Neveah's eyes then scanned the paper quickly, which read;

News of young Vampires in Ravenshire, requesting rooms in a tavern. Ages and names unknown, though thought to be rogue or newly turned. Your swift attention to this is required.

Neveah thought quickly and then addressed the messenger boy again. "Tell the council we will hold a meeting in exactly five minutes."

The boy nodded and trotted off into the dimly lit castle. Neveah then shut her door abruptly and turned to get dressed. She combed through her long locks with her fingers and found a simple yet flattering white, fitted silk dress that fell to her mid thighs. Along with it she tugged on a pair of matching white knee high boots. For a moment she glanced around her room, which besides the light she had switched on, was completely pitch black, and then grabbed for the silver key used to lock her chambers. She left the room swiftly, locking the door behind her and watched as two guards shifted to either side of her doorway. This time of day, Emmanuel and Xavier were dead asleep, so she would need to hold the council on her own, despite it rarely ever being an issue.

Another few moments later, and she was seated in a high backed, black velvet chair at the head of a long banquet style meeting table. The others had not yet arrived, though they still had a minute or so to spare. Once her council arrived and were seated, the doors clanked shut behind them. Neveah then wasted no time in getting to her point.

"I have news of two or more rogue, or newly turned Vampires seeking accommodation in Ravenshire. Ravenshire is not far from here. I am aware that this need be taken care of immediately. Today leading into tonight would be best." She paused for a moment to calculate her next words carefully before speaking.

"I am aware that the full mood will be tomorrow. And I am also aware that the celebrations of such will begin taking place as soon as night begins to fall. I am positive you are all tired and will need your rest... So, I will be taking on this issue myself. I will have Fae step in for me while I am away, though it shouldn't take more than a few hours to apprehend these Vampires."

A few murmurs shifted across the table and her eyes scanned the area for any arguments the council might have. None emerged and she smiled softly, her straight white teeth and fangs showing. "Good then. I require my cloak and my bow, nothing more. And I shall see you tonight for full moon."

Within moments she had the things she requested and was outside of the castle walls. It had been ages since she had been on a mission outside. She spent a lot of time in the gardens at night, but missions were usually left to the army men.

Even though the sun wouldn't kill her, Neveah still felt slightly uncomfortable in its rays. She pulled the cloak hood over her head and let it cast a shadow over her face. It was no more than 7 am, and she was half way to Ravenshire already. She was familiar will all of the places nearby, as a High Vampire should be. After about two hours, she had made it to the outskirts of Ravenshire without hassle. Luckily for her, no animal dared come near her kind.

As she entered the towns outskirts, she noticed a simple cottage. The lights inside were dimmed, but the scent coming from it was offensive if not repulsive to her. A wolf. Her eyes narrowed in it's direction but she carried on along the edge of the trees, her feet moving no louder than a whisper.

Aerendyl woke up almost instantly from his sleep. He looked over at the clock and it read only 8:40 am. Fuck. It wasn't often that Aerendyl got a full 8 hours rest. Actually it was very rare. Luckily enough though he was still part elf so he was able to still function with very little rest. As he got up out of bed, the thought of food crossed his mind then left it as he remembered he ate three moose the night before. Eggs would be nice though. He thought to himself then quickly threw some pants on and whipped up some eggs. It was more just for show though. The eggs did still taste divine, they just never filled him up. After he made and ate his eggs, Aerendyl looked at the time again and it only read 8:50. He just rolled his eyes and cleaned his dishes. He then looked over into the bathroom and thought about his laundry. Later. He said to himself. Then entered his room to find a shirt.

As Aerendyl rummaged through his drawers looking for something that would fit the day, he glanced up at the mirror in front of him. He stopped and looked himself over. His black hair had gotten long again and there was still a faint color of red in his hair from the night before. The blood didn't fully wash off from the shower. Oh well. Adds character. Not like anyone's going to notice. He then ran his hands over his skin. It was slightly tan and smooth. Just looking at him, no one would be able to tell he was a werewolf. Even though he was 400 years old, he still looked very handsome. For being an ex wood elf though he was still pretty young. Wood elves from where he was from could live up to 1500 or more, though he didn't want to live that long being what he was.

After taking a long look into the mirror, Aerendyl decided not to wear a shirt. As he closed his drawer though, his head snapped to the side. A very strong smell erached his nose and he instantly ran to the window. As he reached it, he saw a small cloaked figure walk past his cottage. Even though he couldn't see what the figure looked like, he knew exactly what it was. Goddamn it another one. Why can't they just keep away. I don't have time fore this. Even though this Vampire had a different stench from the others, he didn't want it in his town. Maybe this one would listen to reason though and leave before things got messy.

Quickly before thinking of anything else, Aerendyl ran out the back door and sprinted to the Tavern. Since he and Danny were buddy's, he had a key to enter through the back door. As he did, one of the morning cooks greated him. Aerendyl just nodded and ran through the kitchen to find Danny. Like normal, Danny was behind the bar. Aerendyl approached him and started to help make some drinks. There's another one coming this way. I'll sstay back here so I can get a better view of the floor. He whispered then took a drink order. Even though it was only 9 something in the morning, the bar was open 24/7 for hunters and whatnot. Everyone was respectable though and kept the booze to a minimum.

Danny at first nodded then glanced at Aerendyl. Damn it man you can't just be back here with no shirt. Here take this so you're not obvious. Danny threw Aerendyl a nice plaid shirt, which actually fit Aerendyl nicely. Aerendyl thanked Danny then went back to making drinks. As he did, the cloaked figure walked through the double doors and Aerendyl snapped his attention to it.

Don't destroy my bar. Danny muttered.

You know I can't turn in the daylight. Plus I never start the fight.

I'm not talking about wolf you. I know what you can do without that shit.

Aerendyl just chuckled at that and continued to watch.

Neveah squinted slightly and noticed the scent of wolf vanished from the cottage she had just passed, though she couldn't see the creature in the dense wood behind the house. She breathed in slowly again through her nostrils, slower this time and managed to follow the scent to the tavern that was spoken of in the note to her. She wondered if maybe this wolf was the owner, in which case she would need to be prepared for a heated discussion. Though she had no idea why a wolf would allow some Vampires to stay the day there. It must belong to someone else then, she thought to herself.

She carried onward toward the tavern. The little streets weren't yet busy with city life, so she was free to wander however she wished. She grinned to herself then, realizing just how much she missed going out on adventures similar to this when she was younger and not in charge. It was rarely spoke of, someone as high ranking as herself, going on business outside of the council. But she was beginning to grow tired of sitting day after day on that cold throne, directing people and giving orders. This was much more fun, despite being a little rusty at the whole adventuring thing.

It looked as if the tavern was open, which was strange at this time of day. It was too early to be plastered, but depending on the creatures inside, she figured maybe it wasn't so strange. This could be a small watering hole on the way to other things, for some. She approached the door to the tavern, which was rather large and held intricate designs engraved in the wood. She stood and appreciated it for a moment, before pulling the door open and stepping over the threshold. Quickly her eyes scanned the room. The patrons weren't bothered what so ever by her arrival, and she figured as much by her lack of announcement, though she wanted it that way. Anyone who knew of the Vampire council and territory, would recognize her cloak though. It was made of fine silk and furs, colored red, black and silver. It also had an unmistakable emblem on the left breast above the heart, which was shaped like a single drop of blood inside of a circle.

Neveah's eyes eventually came to rest on two men behind the bar. One was shorter than the other, with reddish blonde hair and emerald green eyes. He had freckles littering his cheeks which were high and chiseled. He was fairly good looking for a human. The stench of wolf though came from the second man. He was extremely tall with dark black hair, similar to a ravens feather. It shone blue in some light while he moved, but in others was black as night. His eyes were blue and they matched the color of his skin tone well. His jaw line was precise and angular, which Neveah found a little weird considering his wolfish blood. Her eyes grazed across his face one more time before she noticed the points of his ears sticking out of the loose bits of his hair. She scoffed almost aloud, and began her short walk toward the bar counter.

It had been so long since she were outside the castle, she nearly forgot how to introduce herself. "Good morn, gentlemen..."

Aerendyl watched as the Vampire walked up to the counter. She greeted them softly, which rang through his ears. He looked her cloak over and could tell that she was some big politics woman. Judging by the way she walked and her cloak looked she must be pretty important. Danny was quick to respond before Aerendyl could open his mouth. Hello miss. Welcome to the Ravenshire Tavern. Is there anything that my partner and I can get for you? Breakfast? Ale? Or maybe something harder? We are open 24//7 for those who's night is day and day is night.

Aerendyl could tell that this Vampire must be very beautiful since Danny's thick Scottish accent started to come through. He only really talked like that when he got flustered. Even though the woman was right in front of him, he still couldn't tell what she looked like. He stood at a good 6ft 3in and she looked very short compared to him. She didn't seem to respond to Danny right away which Aerendyl thought maybe it was his accent that tripped him up. Sorry for him. It's hard to understand Danny sometimes. What can we get for you? He said trying to keep a good composure. Danny glanced over at him slightly annoyed by what was said, but went back to look at the woman with a smile. He waited to see what she would say if anything at all.

Neveah shifted slightly, her posture squared and sure. She shifted her arms upward and scooped the hood of her cloak back and off of her head, revealing her face and white hair. Her eyes were bright and big, though the blue grey was outlined with red due to thirst, which she ignored for the most part. The Scottish man spoke first, his accent thick and it made Neveah smile at him. Before she could answer though, the bigger man spoke up, asking what she would like.

"I am searching for a few Vampires possibly staying here for the day. They might already be asleep, but it has come to my attention that they are possibly rogues, or new born." Neveah spoke smoothly, barely flustered by the scottsman. "It is my duty to bring them back to the castle with me."

She watched the wolf tower over her and she wanted to shrink back at his height, but remained where she was instead. She had come across a few vampires as tall as this man, but it didn't help that she was so small herself. Neveah looked up at him again, closer this time to examine him right up close. His scent was overpowering but she had grown used to it by now. She shifted to sit at a bar stool, curious to see if they'd offer her a glass of wine laced with blood. Or something more pure. If they didn't though, she would have plenty an opportunity to hunt once returned home.

Aerendyl watched as the Vampire took her hood off. Her voice matched the way he pictured her looks. Her long white hair flowed down her body uncovering her white porcelain skin. In that second, Aerendyl felt a ping in his chest. It was a strange feeling that he had never felt before, but he paid it no mind. Maybe he was just taken aback by how beautiful she was. He knew that some Vampires were incredible looking, but he never really paid much attention to them unless he was hunting them.

She brought up the two Vampires that had checked in this morning and that had brought his attention back to the topic at hand. He looked her over again and started to make her a bloody drink. Figured he'd be civil for now. She might get rid of the problem before he would have to. It was going to be a full moon tonight and dealing with two little shits was the last think he wanted to do. The two... things in question are upstairs I believe. Danny would know more about it then me. My shift only just started. It would be appreciated if you could get them out of here. Here. He handed her the drink he made then started making another. This ones on me.

Danny looked at the drink handed to her and he looked a little put out. Aerendyl knew that the ingredients used in that drink were very expensive and he also knew that all Aerendyls drinks were free for now. So this woman just got a free drink. The thought of that made him chuckle to himself as he turned away to wash a cup for his next drink.

Neveah watched as the taller of the two handed her a glass with thick dark red liquid inside. Before saying anything she brought the cup up to her nose and inhaled softly. It was a fine red wine, probably aged around 70-100 years, and then blood. The blood smelled divine and she wondered what poor human had to pay for this. Never the less, she tilted the glass to her lips and let her throat open up, just as she did when she fed. The drink was gone within a matter of seconds and the redness around her pupils faded slowly.

"Thank you. I am Neveah, High Vampiress. It shouldn't take long for me to obtain the two Vampires from upstairs, and then we should be out of your hair." She smiled a little, her gaze shifting from the tall man, to the shorter one and back again. She bowed slightly to excuse herself and located the open arch which led to the stairway. She walked at a humans pace toward it, so as not to startle anyone, since she figured this town was rather rural and she was unsure how many of her kind passed through.

She stopped just inside the arch and inhaled again to locate the Vamps. Their scent was strong and she moved then with impossible speed and grace toward their room. She stopped just outside and considered how she would convince them to come with her, since she didn't particularly want to use force as the first option. If they were newborn it might be fairly simple. Offer them guidance and a place to call home, etc. If they were rogue however, it could be a fight to the death. She bit at the inside of her lower lip in thought and reached out for the handle silently.

Aerendyl watched as Neveah walked up the stairs to the rooms. Hopeful that takes care of that. If she deals with that then I wont have to. He stopped making drinks then took off the shirt, and handed it back to Danny. Thanks for the shirt. Danny took it then dropped it on the floor. He was not very impressed at the moment. You know I was going to make her that drink. Danny pouted slightly as he finished washing his last cup. Danny was quite the lady's man and always like to hit them up when he could. Sadly for him though it never worked out the way he wanted it to go so Aerendyl often had to help him out. Real lady killer you are there. Look judging by her title, she very old maybe older then me and you wouldn't have had a chance. Plus, she a Vampire. Why would you want to get with one of them? She could turn you and I'd have to kill you. The thought never really crossed through Danny's mind. She was hot man I wasn't worried about the rest of that. Plus I was just being nice you ass. Also if she deals with that problem you're not getting your free drinks.

This didn't bother Aerendyl all that much. As long at he was in the woods far from the town by nightfall, it was fine by him. Looking at the time though, it was getting to the point that he was going to need to leave. As he started to say buy, a loud crash came from the upstairs rooms. I few people started ran down in a bit of a panic. Aerendyl looked back at Danny and sighed. It was looking to be a more exciting day then he wanted it to be. As he made his way through the crowd of people, Danny could be heard from behind as he ran up the stairs. Don't destroy my tavern!

Caspar and Michael had the curtains shut tight so no light was able to reach through and keep them from sleeping. You know the plan, as soon as the town lights turn on we hunt. Then we get out of this place as if we never arrived. Micheal's deep voice rang through the small room. I know I know. I'll do my best not to make a big mess this time. Maybe we can bring that wolf for a snack to the next town? Caspar spoke gently as if this wasn't the first nor the last time she was going to have a feast. Also it's the full moon tonight, we should be able to have a bit of a good time right? The two of them have been together going from town to town for a few months now. Micheal just groaned as he listened to Caspar speak. As much as it was nice to have the company of a lady around, he really didn't like having to clean up her messes all the time. No. If we can avoid the wolf that would be best. But like you said, it is a full moon tonight so it should just run off like the rest of them do. We can have a bit of fun tonight but we need to still be clean. In that moment they both heard a knock on the door which startled the both of them. Micheal slowly moved to the door and opened it. In the doorway was this beautiful white haired lady with a long black and red cloak on. The pin she had on showed that she was part of the council. This scared Micheal a little. How can I help you?

Neveah stood outside of the door for a few moments and listened to the voices from within. These vampires were definitely rogue by the sounds of it. Her eyes narrowed and she raised her fist up and rapped her knuckles against the hard wood quickly. A couple seconds later the door opened, and a man stood there. "How can I help you?" he said. Neveah's eyebrow lifted slightly and she reached to pull the door open a little wider for a better view of the room.

"Hello. I am Neveah, High Vampiress. I have received word that you two are seeking guidance toward our home," she said. She figured if they really did just need a place to be, they'd come easily. The man's eyes narrowed and he stepped back from the doorway for a moment. He was unsure whether to let her inside or not. But his partner, decided that going with Neveah was not on the agenda. She whirred passed Neveah and knocked over a side table and lamp that lit the hallway. It clanged to the ground and the bulb broke into shattered pieces around Neveah's boots. Instead of following the female down the stairs, she shifted forward easily and apprehended the male with ease. She then turned with force and made their way down the stairs into the main section of the pub.

Neveah smirked when she heard one of the bar workers, the ginger haired one, say to the tall man she had been served by before, not to destroy his tavern. Though she smiled in this moment, she was nothing but business in the next. "The girl needs to be dealt with immediately. I will require help holding this one, or help with her apprehension."

A woman breezed past Aerendyl as he made his way up the stairs. Neveah started to speak to him, but his mind was already on this woman that got away. He nodded in response to Neveah and started to run to find the young Vampire. Danny watched as Aerendyl ran back down the stairs. He pointed to the front door then threw him a blade. I figured you might need this. Aerendyl grabbed the blade and took off out the front doors. For a second, the place was quiet. Never a dull day here. Danny sighed then started to clean up. He turned and say Naveah walking down the stairs with what he could assume was the other Vampire. You're welcome to have another drink before you leave if you want. Danny said with a smile. He could't help himself the woman was so pretty.

Aerendyl used his speed to try and catch up with the woman, but since he wasn't in wolf form he wasn't able to catch up right away. She was able to keep one step ahead of him. Oh my god just stop. If I don't catch you now I'll catch you later and I wont be so nice later! You're making me late! He growled at the vampire, but it didn't seem to bother her at all. Instead it egged her on and she let out a shrill laugh. What's wrong wolfy boy? Can't catch up to a small little vampire like me? Pathetic. She laughed even harder before taking a turn and disappearing into the forest. Don't worry wolfy. You'll see me again real soon. Don't go anywhere! Aerendyl could hear a giggle from the forest, but he couldn't tell where from. He tried to sniff her out, but the forest had way more senses then the town. Damn it. Now I have to stay here and catch her a night. Fuck me. Aerendyl sighed and started to make his way back to the tavern.

While he made his way back, Aerendyl took in the sights of the town since this might be the last time he would be able to set foot in it. Tonight was supposed to go just like every other full moon where he would just take off for the next day or two and then come back, but nope not this time. This time there had to be Vampires. He hated them so much. Maybe that Naveah girl can deal with this instead it is her job. He thought to himself then decided against it. He couldn't trust another Vampire to do his job. He did make it apparent that he would take care of Ravenshire, and a real man keeps his word no matter the cost.

Once back at the Tavern, Aerendyl passed through the double doors to see that Danny was with Naveah and the other Vampire. She got away. I can assume that she will be back tonight for dinner. I'll set up post and hope I can deal with her quick. He could tell that Naveah didn't seem to impressed by this, but what she thought was the last thing he cared about.

Neveah shoved the rogue vamp onto a bar stool at the bar and kept a close eye on him. He was fairly young, but not younger than the female who had gotten away. The tavern owner, who had just offered her another drink, stood behind the bar, but the big guy was gone.

"A drink would be lovely, thanks...?" Neveah hesitated at the end of her sentence since she didn't know this persons name. She watched as he began to make her drink though.

"The name is Danny," he said, sliding her a full goblet of what smelled to be the same drink she had before.

"Thank you, Danny."

The rogue Vampire grumbled from beside her and she ignored him for the most part, her mind drifting only for a moment until the wolf came back through the big doors. He spoke, his voice sounding slightly annoyed. She got away. "I can assume that she will be back tonight for dinner. I'll set up post and hope I can deal with her quick."

Neveah's eyes narrowed at the bad news and finished her drink in a couple more sips. She squared her shoulders slightly. Tonight was the full moon, and she wanted to be back by the time the celebrations were beginning. Though it didn't look as if it would turn out this way. She had to find this girl before she returned. Neveah turned to the rogue, and began to speak gently, though with authority.

"What is your name, young one? As well as the name of your partner. And where do you think she would have gone to?"

Caspar's not my partner. I only just met her a few months ago while I was trying to find a place to hide. I don't approve of this bullshit alliance you seem to have going on here. Vampires used to be feared and hated by everyone and that's how it should be. I hope tonight is especially brutal because Caspar wont hold back. Especially now that she knows there's a wolf in town and what better way to kick off the festive's then killing a werewolf on a full moon. That wasn't originally my plan, but doesn't seem like I'm in charge anymore so can deal with the fallout that Caspar will leave behind. The name's Micheal by the way. Figured you might as well know since I'm going to die here today. Aerendyl just laughed to himself as Micheal talked and talked. He seemed like he was tough, but Aerendyl could smell the fear coming from him. Can't get to 400 without knowing when someone's acting tough.

You know you're really starting to annoy me. I don't really want to hear about how this woman is going to kill everyone. I'll take care of her. Aerendyl thought this would actually be a great opertunaty to get out of town before dark. If Caspar only wanted to fight him then he could just take her out to a remote spot in the forest and fight her there. His sent would travel for a ways too so that way she could find him easily. Aerendyl looked at Neveah and gave a slight smug smile. Look I can deal with things here. You can go back to wherever you came from and enjoy your full moon. I know you Vampires like to play around in it. He brushed past her and slightly touched her arm with his then felt another ping in his chest. This time Aerendyl placed his hand over his chest while he was walking to the bar. This feeling was starting to get on his nerves. He'd never felt it before and it was pissing him off that it was happening now. I'm to young to be feeling like this this. He thought to himself before reaching the bar.

Looks like you'll be owing me free drinks anyways. Aerendyl smiled at Danny before making his way out the back of the tavern again. As he walked out the back door, Aerendyl started to think about what he was going to do. It was a full moon and he was going to lose control so he couldn't really plan for that at all, but the Vampire probably hadn't fought a king before so he was starting to bank on that. Never really lost a fight, but also never really remembered his full moon nights.

Once Aerendyl made it home, he got to thinking about Naveah. I wonder if I'm ever going to see that woman again. I hope not, but something in me thinks I will and I feel like I'm looking forward to it? Whatever. If I see her I see her. He thought as he got all his equipment ready for the trek into the forest. It didn't take that long to find what was needed. Most of the time he just kept everything where it was and would pick it up when ready to leave. Once ready though, Aerendyl made his way to his front door and opened it only to see Naveah standing in the doorway. Aerendyl let out a sigh, I knew it.

Neveah simply listened to Michael speak and her expression was bored. It wasn't like she hadn't heard this from many others while the alliance was being formed. She sighed slightly and looked to Danny. "Is there a cell hold I can keep him in? Or should I bring him back to the Capitol and return for the woman?"

Danny responded easily. "There's a cell hold just a few minutes North of the village. Mixed races watch it, so he should be fine there..."

Neveah nodded and tugged Michael along with her as she left the tavern. It took no time at all for her to find the cell hold. She was greeted by many guards and they all noticed her cloak and the emblem she wore. The guards took Michael into a Vampire proof holding cell and Neveah smiled slightly, her lips curling up over her teeth. "Enjoy your time in here until the council can deal with you. I'm sure we'll be seeing each other again."

While she walked away, Neveah could hear Michael shouting obscenities at her back. This simply made her chuckle and continue on forward. She had another task to be completed, and time was running out. Standing back outside of the tavern, she inhaled deeply and focused on the scent of the wolf. His trail came easily and she made her way to his house. She rapped on the door loudly, becoming impatient when it didn't immediately open. Once it did though, she heard him sigh. He sounded annoyed, and she could hear him mutter to himself, "I knew it."

"Knew what?" Neveah said, her icy eyes boring into his. "Knew that you blew of the highest ranking vampire in the world? That you didn't bother to tell me your name? Or that you knew I wouldn't leave you be until this Caspar woman is caught?"

Aerendyl just rolled his eyes and continued to close and lock his door. Look I don't really care who you are and frankly your "Rank" means nothing to me. I left that life behind a long time ago. Anyways if you must know, my name is Aerendyl Lucis Caelum. Not that you would care. Anyways I don't need your help with this problem, I can handle it myself. He didn't expect her to know who he was. It would be better that way if she didn't. The last think he wanted to deal with right now was his past. Aerendyl used to be a king when he was just an elf. A great ruler and loved by his people, but one wrong call and his whole kingdom was desecrated in less then a night. Even though he should have probably changed it or gone by something different, Aerendyl actually liked his name. It has meaning in a past life and it reminds him constantly of why he is where he is. It also just sounds nice. Rolls off the tongue.

The wind started to blow and his black hair flowed lushly. It really was time for a haircut, but that would have to be put off for a while. The time was about high noon if not an hour or two past. Aerendyl didn't want to waist more time talking to Neveah when he could be making his way out to his spot, but instead of walking away like a rude boy, Aerendyl looked right into Neveah's eyes and looked her over. She really was beautiful for being what she waa. Must be a perk of being the highest ranking Vampire. That ping in his chest started to come back again and the thought of running his hand through her long white hair crossed through. This confused Aerendyl and made him want to just get away from her. Can you please just leave? He put his hand over his chest again then started to leave. He didn't look behind to see if she was following though he was pretty sure that she way. He could feel her eyes piercing into his back.

Neveah followed Aerendyl as he began to walk away. There was something familiar about his name, and it took only a moment or so for her to find it in her memories. As he continued forward, Neveah reached forward and grabbed his wrist, tugging on it to try and force him to stop and turn to face her.

"I'm not leaving, your highness," she said, her eyes clear and her expression neutral. Even though Aerendyl was no longer a King, she still respected his position whether he held it currently or not. He was well known when he ruled. "Besides, I don't quite understand exactly what your problem is, despite you being all typical angry wolf and the fact a couple straggler vamps came to your town. So if those are the only issues, let's deal with this together and I can be on my way for the Capitols celebrations..."

Even though she was trying to keep her emotions in check, something was nagging in the pit of her stomach. She couldn't tell if it was fear, or anger or something else entirely. But it was annoying to say the least.

The moment that Neveah grabbed Aerendyl's wrist and called him Your highness, something snapped and Aerendyl whirled around, yanked his wrist out and pushed her away. He wanted to grab her throat, but this was a fight he wanted to avoid. Don't ever call me that again. I'm not a king anymore and I never should have in the first place. Aerendyl growled deeply at Neveah before standing up straight and walking continuing to walk away. I don't want your help. I'm risking a lot of people's lives as it is. I understand that you Vampires celebrate the full mood, but us werewolves don't. Those of us that are lucky enough to imprint don't have to worry about it, but me? I need to leave and these vampires have put a wrench in that. You seem like a nice... person, but i'm not willing to risk your life too. Especially since you have a coven to run. It wasn't just that he didn't want to risk her life, he also just didn't want her around him anymore. This feeling he's been having isn't sitting well.

Something in Aerendyl made his stop though. He sighed then turned around to look at Neveah. Look I'm sorry for getting angry. We just met a few hours ago so obviously there's a lot to me you don't know. I'm not just some "angry wolf" that everyone likes to think. There are some good people in this town and I don't want to get them hurt. As for you there's something about you that is not sitting well with me. I don't know if it's good or if it's bad, but until I can figure that out I don't want to be around you. Part of me wants to protect you even though I don't even know you. This was unusual for Aerendyl. Never did he want to explain himself to anyone before. Ask Danny. There are tons of things that he had done that didn't get answers. When the full moon comes, werewolves lose control of everything. Every other day of the month we can control how we are and turn whenever we want at night, but the full moon changes that. I don't want anyone to see me like that. Ever. This Vampire wants to fight me as a wolf so she obviously doesn't know anything about my.. kind. If I can get a ways away from Ravenshire then I can kill this woman and not have to worry abou the rest of the night. So please just leave me be and go enjoy your celebration.

"Killing her is not necessary! Not every issue needs to be resolved with death as the solution. I may not be the oldest of my kind, but I've tried to learn as much as possible in the years I have been alive from those with more experience." Neveah spoke true to herself, though she knew that not every creature in this world thought the way she did, and surely Aerendyl didn't either.

"I can stalk her myself and bring her back to the Capitol to be dealt with there. It's your choice. But I gather because you want me gone, you'd choose to let me do so alone," she said again after a few moments. She could tell his anger towards her was personal, which was strange since what he said about not knowing each other was true.

"And I fully understand your want to keep your village safe. We just do so in different ways."

Neveah took a couple steps back toward Aerendyl's doorway and realized it was still open.

Aerendyl just sighed at Neveah's response. So young. He thought to himself before responding. Alright fine. We can do this your way. But if it get dark before we catch her, I'm going to have to leave. He looked her over real good then looked away quickly only to see that his door way wide open. That's weird I thought I locked that. He went to move past her then caught a whiff of something strange. It was an odd smell that he hadn't encountered before. Do you smell that? He looked over at Neveah briefly and wondered what she was thinking if she could smell the same thing or not. What if it was that Caspar lady disguising herself? It could be anything and all Aerendyl could think of was bad thing. From his backpack he pulled a silver sword and ran into his house. Not knowing if Neveah had followed or not, he had to know what was going on.

Once inside, Aerendyl looked around and sniffed again. The smell was coming from his bedroom. Aerendyl burst into the room to find a scared Danny picking up his clothes. Danny what the hell? You scared me made me think that the Vampire was in here. Also what is that smell? Danny put the clothes in a hamper he seemed to have brought and chuckled. Well I came to look after your house like you said and saw you with that beautiful woman from before. I figured you two were going to... well you know, so I came in here to clean up in case you needed it. I know you don't have time to clean your stuff right now so I figured I would for you. Aerendyl shook his head and put his sword away. Danny was a good friend and the thought of what he said made him smile. I'm sorry Danny, but I wouldn't get with a Vampire. Plus that wasn't remotely what was happening. How did you even get in here without the two of us noticing you? Danny just kept on cleaning and shrugged. Seemed like things were getting intresting with you two so I just came on in. Besides you forget about me how about you get on with that Vampire hunt before it gets to late.

Aerendyl shook his head again and thanked Danny before leaving. This time for sure closing the door behind him. Neveah was now in the doorway behind him as he closed the door. Seemed like she heard what was all said. Sorry about that. Danny came over to take care of some things, but I'm sure you heard all that. He looked away and scratched his head. He was slightly embarrassed by what Danny had said. He had no idea how he came to that conclusion, but it was Danny and he did have a perverted mind most of the time.
