The Party

"You got feet, dont you, rat boy? Get it yourself." Nero coldly replied. He had already had enough of this evening and was just ready to go home and crawl into bed before he either shot someone or drained them dry.

Holstering his gun, he got up out of his chair, about to whip out his phone to call Mei, when another entered the scene. At least she was pleasing to look at than the other mooks. Not a bad looking dame at all.

"Listen dollface." He said taking a pull of his cigarillo, a thick wisp of smoke trailing from the corner of his lips. "I ain't got time for your silly questions, alright. I just got shot up by a bunch of fucking weekend soldiers, my friends are all hiding cause someone's bumping off our coven one by one, and now I'm surrounded by the Mad Hatter's fucking tea party. Can't say I'm having a good evening here. Now if you'll excuse me."

He turned around, dialing Mei's number. "C'mon Mei, pick up!"

Though as much as Harley listened to Mr. Felton's very interesting lecture over chiaroscuro, the difference in light and shadow, and how it could dramatically affect their photographs, she couldn't help but hear little snippets hear and there from the two girls a few rows behind her.

She glanced over her shoulder once at the...well...how else could she say it...the hussy babbling about trying to get in the teacher's pants, which didn't sit well with Harley, same with the girl dressing like Friday nights at the gentlemans' club. Talk about no shame. No better than those damn cheerleaders in Celina who tried to get with the football coach.

She cut her eyes at the two girls, namely the pink haired one, before turning around in her seat, coldly shaking her head.

Lord forgive me, but what a damn whore! Tryin' to mess around with Mr. Felton! What if he's a married man? Hell, what if he's gay! Eh...I mean I don't think he is, but that's beside the point! She could get Mr. Felton in a whole mess of trouble foolin' round with him like that! I oughta turn around and tell the li'l homewrecker off, but I reckon I don't wanna cause a stir. Still...shit like that just burns my ass!

She sat there for the rest of the class, her fists clenched at her sides.

Wellllll, this just got really interesting! 8D

The Party

@Luna Amore

It was over...for now.

Despite being as far away from the chaos as possible, Mei continued to push the raw power of her Ferarri down the highway, but finally she could relax. With a weary sigh, she reached over to the dial on the car's CD player. Perchance some music would help her cool down.

So much had happened, and all of it happened in such a short span of time. Four of her coven, four of her dearest friends, mercilessly slain, and now the UNHC was on her tail. As if this couldn't get any more fucked up than it had been. To make matters worse, she ended up getting a human involved in this debacle.

With one hand on the steering wheel, she looked out of the corner of her eye to her passenger. Celeste, Mei had to wonder now what was running through the mortal's mind. Was she still in awe of the Ferarri? Or was she just terrified out of her mind. Part of the reason Mei put on some music simply...was to get rid of the annoying silence.

"You must have alot of questions, correct? I would figure." Mei whispered. "I'll answer them. For starters, yes, I am a vampire, and so is Nero. I lead a coven called the Erzebets, and for years, we've been at war with another coven for control of the city, the Malkavians. It's been a long stand down between us, but ever since these murders....I feel like we'll be tearing each other apart...real soon. Anyways, I'm taking you to my home. You can rest there, but tomorrow, I'm taking you back to wherever it is you live. You will forget about everything you have witnessed this night, including...what I am. Do you understand?"

It was over...

Thank fuck, Nero thought as the smoke cleared and the dust and flames settled. Bodies littered the scene of combat and carnage, blood and sinew strewn about what was once an elegant and lovely ballroom...now the grim facade of unholy warfare.

Nero collapsed in a chair, one of them that at least survived the bloody fray, with a sigh and fished from his jacket a crumpled cigarillo, lighting it, then taking a drag.

"Well...this sure was a lovely party." A dry quip before turning to the man who, more or less, saved his life. "Don't know who you are or what you did, but thanks. At least you got rid of the bastards."

And of course, Nero couldn't forget a familiar face.

"Victor Frankenstein." He uttered the name with a spit of venom. "Tell me, how long has it been since your goddamn abomination helped Vlad destroy Lady Bathory's castle? You know I don't have any business with anyone who associates with the Malkavian Coven, so why show up here?"

The Party

@WelcmeToGudBrgr I don't see why not, and sorry if I've been ignoring you, friendo.

The Party

@Luna Amore We'll just have to see! ;3. And yeah, Mei is a woman of exquisite taste, that she is!

Mei hurried off the balcony dragging Celeste behind her, never once stopping to look back, for why when she knew behind her...was certain doom. She kept running, Nero's gun clutched in her hand, down a stairwell onto the front lawn and across the wet pavement to a cherry red, high performance vehicle. Undoubtedly hers.



"Get in!" She ordered Celeste. As soon as the girl jumped in, Mei slammed her foot down on the gas, and the car tore across the lawn and out onto the main road. They kept speeding away, faster and farther, until the mansion...and the hunters... were out of sight and mind.

Mei looked back in her rearview mirror to make sure they weren't being tailed. The hunters, now that they had her scent, there was no way they were giving up easy.

@Kaesus

"TARGET RIGHT! OPEN FIRE!"

Nero dove behind a pillar right as the squad of hunters drew down on him and unloaded a brutal barrage of bullets. He popped back up returning fire, then back down again as the hunters fired back. That's when he noticed the odd glow of the bullet holes a few feet from him. "Fuck! UV rounds!
Of course!" He muttered to himself, preparing to fire back on the hunters when a black mist enveloped beside him.

With surprise, he watched briefly as the smoke formed into the shape of a man. He was about to answer...until he heard something roll across the floor....

....and land beside his foot.



He looked down at the floor with a furrowed brow, then to the man beside him.

"That answer your question?"

The Party

@Luna Amore

"Shit!" Time was up. The hunters were flooding the ballroom as though a vicious army of ants, ants armed with enough firepower to waste the undead. Mei could see them through the window hurrying up the stairs. Hopefully, they hadn't spotted her or Nero yet.

"Nero, give me a gun!"

Nero pulled a spare Beretta from his jacket, tossing it over to Mei. Mei caught it, cycling the mag and cocking the slide. She then turned to the girl beside her, a stern look in her cold, black eyes. "You, you're coming with me! Nero, keep 'em busy!"

"You got it!" Nero quickly nodded loading his weapon. "See you back at the hideout! Now go!"

And with that, Mei seized Celeste firmly by the arm and made her run.
