Syn walked in silence, left alone in his thoughts. He really regretted asking SC what it meant by Ishimu and him being cute, this all could have been avoided. But for how long? He sighed and looked over at the redhead beside him wondering what was going through his head. Running a hand through his hair he looked at the night sky, “Soo..” he started breaking the silence, “have you thought how you're going to feed on a human?” He mentally kicked himself knowing that he had to show him, but he didn't know if he could properly teach it, hell, by the end of the night he might need to feed. He shifted his look to the park was fully in view, a few people still around hanging out with friends, sitting alone and a few leaving the park through the back entrance. Luckily for SC, no one seemed to be on the swing or any other jungle gym equipment.
“If you mean a white wolf running up and snatching up the shadow we were interrogating, then yes, that did happen” Rin replied looking towards the door they just escaped through. “Do we give chase?” he asked one more time looking at Storm, “maybe she will lead us to your vampire” his tail wagged at the thought of running into the shadow again and how he wanted to “play” with it. Rin’s ears perked up, he was so caught up with the shadow he hadn't notice the scent of another vampire approaching them, “we have company” he said focusing his attention on the door to see who was coming now.
‘they have a shadow? Wait, “they” there's more than one?” she slowed her run into a face paced walk. Going down another alley to make some distance between the house and them she looked back, “is the shadow alright?” She asked looking up towards Blinky, hating that she accidentally let one of it's kind with that which of a royal. She frowned and searched for a safe enough place to bring back Shade, hoping all is well back home. Vega would keep him safe, right? "Hey Blinky, Shade told me he had some Shadows checking out some areas to make them safe, are there any nearby?"
Vega crossed his arms listening to Shade, frowning slightly, ‘great, another Vampire to worry about ’ but seeing how Shade noticed he looked he couldn't help but laugh. He nodded his head towards the back of the forge, “there's a wash basin in the back if you want to clean some of that blood off of you, or” he looked over at his desk, which was the cleanest piece of furniture, free of any soot or piles of material and stacks of papers, only having a book open with odd looking runes and text “you can get off your feet and relax a bit”.
He went back to the oil like liquid and pulled out the two small items with a pair of iron tongs and examined them, “as for why I'm not tearing you to shreds,” he dropped the items into his gloved hand and wiped some of the oil off to get a better look at them, “you mean the world to someone who means the world to me” he turned his attention back to Shade, “Nights and I had a little talk while you were sleeping next to her and, what was it's name, Blinky? Anyway, I do have a pretty good reason to tear you a new one but I'm already making you a replacement” he showed him what looked like two rings but rough and ragged around the edges and dull as rocks, “you should have them by the morning”.
Raider smiled childish dreams. He couldn't blame him, at that age he wanted to be a teacher like his father. Wanted.
Gluttony squealed happily and began to nuzzle Zane's face as best as it could, it's tail wagging happily showing no signs of stopping.
Raider thought for a moment, how many vampires did he know? “I know enough and many some more after that. I have a few friends of the fanged variety” he laughed pulling Envy from his shoulder into his lap petting the small dog plush, “Envy once was, not too long ago actually”. Envy looked at him confused, not sure what he was talking about, but happy to get attention. “Why? Do you have any questions?” Raider asked looking from Envy to Zane.

“I don’t know,” Ishimu replied feeling shaky memories of the night when he had fed alone. The blood, claws, and fangs, how it tasted good and he shivered at the thought of liking it. Then the shadows had intervened and soon Shade was within the room as well. He was sure if not for the shadows and Holly he would have done something he would have really regretted. He glanced back towards SC curious if that was why it was with them, though they seemed harmless. He knew first hand what they could do if they really wished to. Placing a hand over his heart he closed his eyes trying to calm himself before looking back towards the park. The need to feed was becoming great again, the headache slowly returning. Not looking to Syn, he made his way towards the park. Narrowing down their target as he thought of the most simplest of prey.
‘I don’t like this…’ SC thought as it gripped Syn’s shoulder trying to regain balance as it watched Ishimu. ‘Blinky, we are working on Ishimu’s hunting. If it goes wrong we may need you and Shade…’ It sent in hopes for any back up possible, unsure of what to really do as it looked back towards the park. It was hoping to still be able to swing, and enjoy their time here. When Ishimu had started to move, the air around the vampire seemed to shift from shaky to almost confident in a millisecond. SC looked to Syn and whispered, “Let’s hope this ends with us all playing on the swings and not worse..” SC didn’t wish harm to come to Syn or Ishimu, both SC classified as good friends, and liking them both. Even if they didn’t think of it as being a friend, the thought stung a little as it’s little ears lowered.
“Yeah we should follow her, she’ll bring us straight to him,” a small smile appeared on his lips before he heard Rin say another was coming. Gritting his teeth, he glared towards the door; expecting it to be Lenor finally caught up to them. Though when the door opened to reveal some woman and a man standing behind her with some creature. He watched them closely, intrigued on why they had a shadow.
“Ugh it’s just a mutt and his play thing,” Thena glared towards the werewolf and Rin, before looking back towards Toshi, “Where is he little creature?”
The little creature shook in Toshi’s hand as it watched Thena in horror. It was sure Shade was here, but now it seemed both Blinky and Shade were no longer here. Frowning it looked from Toshi, to Thena then to the werewolf it remembered that one out of them all. With a small bit of hope, the creature bit into Toshi, this time not letting go. Causing the vampire to hit it and try to even fling it off his hand.
Releasing the vampire when it’s fingers let go, the creature darted for Storm and quickly clawed it’s way up his leg, onto his arm and then onto his shoulder. Hissing at the two vampires before it ducked low watching them.
Hissing in pain Toshi glared at the creature, ‘So long for plan A...guess it’s plan B…’ Toshi looked towards Storm, watching the werewolf closely. He didn’t have to look at Thena to know she was mad that the creature had gotten away from him.
“You let it go!?” Thena glared at the vampire before looking back towards Storm, “If you don’t mind, may we have our little navigator back?”
“Navigator? Who are you and what are you wanting with the creature?” Storm narrowed his blue eyes never leaving the woman. He wasn’t to worried about the other vampire. He was sure Rin would be able to help out with that one.
“It is of little importance to a werewolf on what I would like with it, it doesn’t concern you,” Thena bared her fangs towards him, “I command you to give it back.”
“Command?” Storm laughed at this, finding it funny, “Only one person can really command anything, and that one I plan to kill. I have no business with you so I’ll be on my way, though I don’t think I will give it to you. It seems quite frightened, and honestly, you are pretty scary.”
Holding his hand he glanced towards Thena, watching her anger grow. He shivered a little at what she could do, then Toshi’s eyes caught the plush on Storm’s shoulder. It almost seemed to move on it’s own, almost like a walking stuffed animal. ‘I wonder…’ Toshi glanced back to Thena who wasn’t taken too much notice in him. Lunged towards Storm, hoping the plush would take the bait.
‘Yeah there are two of vampires, one is Thena. Though I don’t think you want to know who the other is,’ Blinky sent to her until they were once safe and she was asking something kind of random to it. “Safe house?” Blinky turned it’s head to the side looking around them, taking sometime to get back to the other shadows to make sure they were still available. It nodded slowly and looked back towards Nights, “There is one two blocks from here, boarded up windows too, as well as a door intact. They say the door is red and shouldn’t be to hard to find as the building kind of stands out a bit from the rest. It’s a dark blue..” It then looked back the way they had came and frowned a little before a small laugh came from Blinky, “It managed to escape and is now with Storm.” It looked back towards Nights, “Doesn’t sound like Storm is willing to give it back so we have that in our favor...”
Getting the message from SC, it shivered at the thought of something going wrong with Ishimu and Syn. Sending back to SC, Blinky hoped that it would keep tabs on how it would go. Shade didn’t tolerate killing, even for newborns. Looking back towards Nights as it moved itself low onto Night’s neck, smiling, “You are soft. Also I heard Ishimu and Syn are hunting tonight. It’ll be Ishimu’s first real hunt so they may need help if something goes wrong…” Blinky looked to her, “I know bad timing...a lot is going on it seems. Worse case scenario the other shadows can help.”
Watching the werewolf closely, Shade wasn’t too sure on what to really expect of the place he was in. Though what he did know was it was a bit warm within the blacksmith, not wishing to be too close to the fire he decided he would take Vega up on his offer of cleaning up. Though hearing his question answered, he then noticed his mood change a bit. Not wishing to make the werewolf too much madder, Shade quickly darted into the wash while he still could.
Hearing a lot of commotion within the building, got Lenore’s interest even more curious. She slowly walked over to the door and poked her head along the side, not wishing to go in. Indeed Storm was within the room with only one possible exit and that was a window to the alley, Thena and Toshi were in the doorway. ‘I wonder how he plans to get out of this mess…’ Lenore thought watching the werewolf and vampires closely. ‘It’d be foolish to join in this needless battle…’ Lenore looked back up towards the sky, trying to think of where the vampire she was hunting might be. She knew he was around the city somewhere, and it’d be only a matter of time before she found him. Tempted to let this play out while she looked, Lenore watched as Toshi went head on towards Storm.
Looking to the basin, Shade shrugged knowing it could be a lot worse and he’d be bathing in a sewer. Not thinking too much more on it, he started to shrug off his blood shirt and slide off his bloody pants. He couldn’t see any blood on them, but he sure could smell it. Not wishing to bring anymore werewolves to the blacksmith, Shade stepped towards the water. He was sure it was mainly used to wash off sweat and metal from when Vega was done with his work for the day or night.
Holding his breath he dunked his head, closing his eyes and started to work on getting the blood out of his hair. Digging at the dried blood to get it loose before making sure it was hopefully all out before taking his head out of the water. Wringing out his hair, he then worked on his wounded hand. Wincing in pain as he dunked it into the water and let it sit for a bit. ‘I really shouldn’t do that again…’ closing his eyes as he waited for the pain to subside and then take it out working on getting any blood off his body before then starting on his clothes.
Once fully done and he was sure his clothes didn’t smell of blood, he then put them back on. ‘Hope they dry before Nights can summon back a portal..’ Shade laughed a little at the thought, ‘Soaking wet vampire to the rescue…’ Standing soaking wet, Shade frowned a little, he had noticed what Vega had been working on. Shifting uneasy, he remembered Nights didn’t tell him where it had came from. He never expected the gift to be from her pack.
Slowly making his way towards the Desk, Shade sat down. His red eyes never leaving Vega and what he was doing. “I am sorry, I didn’t mean to make more work for you,” Shade said glancing towards the red embers, ‘I bet it wouldn’t take him to much effort to send for the pack, overwhelm me and throw me into the hurth…’ he was pretty sure that was what the werewolf would have done if it was any other vampire. ‘So far they respect Nights, so hopefully that won’t happen…’ Shade slowly glanced towards the book that was on the desk. The strange markings within had looked familiar, turning his head he wasn’t to sure on what exactly they were.
‘That’s who I think of…’ it suddenly came to him as he looked back towards Vega, his demeanor reminded him of Kelarth when they had first met. It almost made him laugh at it though he quickly hid it with a small cough. Both were very strong, and he was sure that Vega had the same love that Kelarth had with his own pack. ‘I wonder how they would react to one another,’ Shade thought before snapping out of thought realizing he was starting to daydream which wasn’t helping his situation. ‘Worse comes to worse, I can summon him here and he can help me out,’ Feeling a little more relaxed, he then started to make himself comfortable as possible without interfering with Vega’s work.
Zane shook his head, “I was only curious if it was true that vampires don’t have friends as werewolves seem to have a lot more for them..” Looking to Raider and smiling a little as he felt Gluttony’s tail under his chin. Laughing a little he then sat back and petted it’s tail gently. “Though it’s good to know there is something that can answer questions,” Zane said looking to Envy, though the plush seemed to be lost in their conversation.
“Do vampires sleep? If so is it really true they sleep in coffins?” Zane asked remembering the horror movies of Dracula, and the cartoons how they made vampires seem.

Syn watched Ishimu closely not taking his eyes off of the redhead as he made his way further into the park looking over his options. He felt SC shift around in his shoulders, it seemed worried as well. Moving to a closer location to watch Ishimu better and have no one notice SC. Syn couldn't help but smile hearing that all SC wanted was for this to end well so they could all swing together. He reached over and pet the small shadow on its head, “so do I, buddy”.
He had faith that Ishimu could do it, knowing anything would be better than his own first time, killing three people and attacking Holly. But the thought still remained what Shade had told him, Ishimu nearly killing someone hunting by himself. He gritted his teeth, “C’mon Ishi, I know you can do it..” if worse came to worse he would intervene or have SC assist, “if things go south, do you have our back?” He whispered glancing at the shadow on his shoulder before looking back at Ishimu.
Rin was ready and prepared for anything that was going to walk through that door, he smelt vampire and before them, two walked through the entrance. Was this the Vampire that the little shadow tried to warn Storm about before the white wolf whisked it away? If so, then who was blondie over here? And why was he carrying a shadow?
He watched the blonde as Storm dealt with the Lady Vampire, intrigued with the shadow he was holding hostage apparently, the thing looked terrified. He did let out a snicker when it did manage to get loose of the vampires hold and then crawled onto Storms shoulder opposite of him. Now, this was one mad lady. He was about to turn his attention to the shadow and ask it a few questions but when the blonde who was holding said shadow lunged at Store he wasn't going to have it. He leaped off of Storms Shoulder and attacked him just as he got close enough sticking his sharp claws and fangs into his arm. He didn't weigh enough to stop him but he was going to do all he knew he could.
“I would rather you tell me who this other vampire is rather than finding out the hard way if we ever cross paths,” Nights said as she looked for this home Blinky told her about, they wouldn't use it for long, just enough to bring Shade back. “Though I am happy that the shadow is no longer in danger I still don't feel right that it's with Storm now..”.
She couldn't help but laugh a little when Blink commented on her fur but stopped in her tracks hearing about Ishimu's first hunt. That was the redhead who was having a reaction to Lancer's blood. She looked down the street, seeing the blue house with the red door. “Hey Blinky,” she looked up towards the shadow laying on her neck, “what do you say we check up on Ishimu and Syn” she took off again assuming the two went to the park near the area where Fang and herself have found them. Sure she wanted to bring Shade back but she felt like he needed some rest and watching over a newborn's first hunt would only stress himself out more.
Vega hadn't noticed Shade come back at all, he stood at the door holding it open half way as if stopping someone or something from coming in. “I'm fine, I don't have a scratch on me” he paused, eyes watching something that moved fast, “you must be sick or something, there's nothing that smells like blood” he shifted his gaze over to Shade and back towards the door, “sorry I didn't get that” he paused once more, “no I'm not hiding something he- Hala stop it!” He tried to force the door closed but something fought back, eager to come in. Finally, he got the door closed but something still managed to sneak in. An amber colored wolf with red eyes looked back at Vega and grinned before taking the form of a woman. She smoothed out the dark purple dress and looked around locking her gaze on Shade, her ears perking up and smiling wide.
She looked at the now very annoyed Vega and tapped on his shoulder before looking back at Shade before saluting and began to sign to him.
Vega sighed and looked towards Shade as well, “Hello, my name is Hala, it's a pleasure to meet you” Hala gave a hard nob before looking back at Vega quizzically and signing to him even putting two fingers to her neck at one point. Vega raised an eyebrow, “I'm grumpy for my own reasons and you're not making things better”.
Hala ignored him and got closer to Shade looking him over curiously, she looked back to Vega and signed again tilting her head to the side, “the blood you smelt was from him, he was covered in it so I let him use-” he was cut off by Hala signing something quickly looking worried. Vega looked over towards Shade with a sigh, “she wants to know if you have any wounds that need to be looked at, she'll gladly take care of them”. Hala gave a hard nod and smile towards Shade.
“It all depends on the vampire,” Raider said playing with Envy's paws Making them move around, “some like to be alone, some like to stay surrounded by people. Not everyone likes company, even some Werewolves are the same, not everyone has a pack to be with”.
Gluttony continued with its tail wagging even as Zane started petting it, it only made it more excited and happy for the attention.
“And yes, they do sleep” he laughed, “though, from personal experience I've never seen anyone sleep in a coffin, that might just be an sorry telling thing"

Looking at the people that had walked into the woods of the park. Ishimu wasn't sure which one to go for. His head seemed to be getting worse as time pressed on. He wasn't to sure on how much more he could take. Biting his lip, he decided to follow a couple that had gone in when they arrived. ‘Hopefully they are further in that no one will hear them.. ’ Ishimu thought not waiting to see if Syn was following or not. He only knew he needed to get the pounding headache to go away. Walking through the trees, Ishimu listened for breathing, or voices, anything that may give away the humans he had decided to trail. Hearing someone behind him, Ishimu was sure it was Syn. He didn't have to really look to know, he could smell his friend close by. A chill ran through him at the sensation. ‘When did I notice blood has a scent?’ Ishimu froze as he thought on it, not being a vampire long, he wasn't used to smell taking effect. But he could smell more than just Syn, he could smell the grass as if he was pressed against it, as well as the trees bark that he was close to. Yet he was able to pick up blood a lot easier than the others, Ishimu wasn't sure he liked it. Mentally shaking it off, Ishimu forced himself to focus. The sooner he fed the sooner SC could swing and then be able to think of the next step after that. ‘Just became night, we have all night before the sun returns..’ Ishimu looked around him, listening close as he was sure he was hearing something to his left. ‘Must be the couple…’ his blue eyes scanned the forest, as he then started to walk left, listening for any other signs of the two people. It didn’t take him long to hear the sound of their voices, keeping low Ishimu poked his head from around a tree. Watching the two closely, waiting for the right time to hopefully strike. Though he wasn’t to sure on how exactly he could take on two of them, hoping his vampire instincts would take over to do the rest. “Of course,” SC said happily before getting a message that Nights was on her way. It then smiled even more knowing Nights would be a good help. ‘Then we can all swing!’ SC thought as it looked back towards Ishimu, seeing the redhead seemed to have picked his target and was close to striking. They were about to kiss, now was the time to strike. He could feel his muscles tighten as he launched himself out of the shadows of the forest, landing hard on the male and grabbing the female by the throat. He didn’t bother to wait for them to even recover as he sank his fangs deep into the man’s neck first. His nails pierced into the female hoping to keep her quiet as he fed. The taste of blood made him close his eyes, ignoring the sound of gulping the poor man’s blood down. The man seemed to stop struggling, glad to be on the man’s chest Ishimu looked back towards the terrified woman. Hissing softly, he slowly moved his lips away from the bite wound, though his tongue licked at it. The taste was great, so much so he wanted more. Glaring at the woman he shoved the man aside before, pulling them close to him. Baring his fangs in their face before smiling to them and then he bit her. “Toshi? He’s a really unique vampire, thought to be Thena’s lackey when we first had met him..” Blinky tried to explain as it recalled the events that Nights had missed out on. “We honestly don’t know much about him. Other than his odd gift of touching anyone and choosing be to able to wipe memories..” Blinky frowned a little at the thought before clinging onto Nights’ fur as she shifted direction towards the park. “Might be a good idea to see how the two of them are doing, even if not for backup.” Sending to SC, Blinky looked back towards the building that they were in. So far it seemed Storm wasn’t going to let the vampire get it again. Which was one less thing to worry about. Unsure if Storm was friend or foe, the little shadow creature let out a small squeak. Sinking lower so it’s belly touched Storm’s shoulder, expecting the vampire to strike at Storm. It dug its little claws into the white shirt Storm was wearing. Storm could see Toshi heading right for him from the corner of his eye, he didn’t have much time to react as his attention was mainly on Thena. ‘I hate vampires,’ Storm growled a little as he moved to block Toshi’s assault towards him. His arms were raised to block, but before he could do much more he realized Rin had launched himself at Toshi, digging their claws into the vampire’s arm and then biting them. Wincing in pain and fighting the urge to cry out, Toshi smirked at the plush before grabbing it by the back of the neck. With great difficulty Toshi managed to lift the plush off his arm, but in doing so the claws had scratched a good gouge in his arm as well long scratches from it’s teeth. Toshi watched the plush closely, it didn’t seem at all like he had expected. “Nevermind, you won’t work for what I need done...I need the little shadow creature,” Toshi said tossing Rin aside. ‘So much for plan B, looks like it’s back to either attacking this guy or the shadow creature,’ Toshi frowned a little, ‘If Thena gets her way though…’ Grey eyes glanced towards her, wondering if he could read the vampire’s mind. Though their eyes didn’t leave Storm, not even with them fighting. Gritting his teeth he turned to face Rin, if his plan was to still work with the shadow creature, he’d need Rin. “I think you and I may have gotten on the wrong foot,” Toshi replied watching the plush closely, not daring to let his guard down not even for an instant with the plush. It was obvious the plush could do damage if it really wished to. Feeling the blood dripping from the wounds, Toshi quickly licked over them so the bleeding would stop. “How about we have a little chat?” Watching Toshi throw the plush off of him, but not without some cost. Storm growled about to launch at the vampire as they tossed the plush aside. But Thena was more of a threat. He was sure on that for the other vampire didn’t come at him again. Watching them resize up the situation they then focused on Rin, ‘Trying to keep him busy I’m sure…’ Storm glared back towards Thena, his body moving to face her’s as he felt the shadow start to shake in fear. “It’s a shame you aren’t a talking one, I’m sure you know exactly who she is,” Storm smirked as he then started to transform into his white wolf form. His eyes never left the vampire before him. Yelping in surprise the shadow quickly jumped off Storm’s shoulder and hid in a cupboard. It’s yellow eyes watching Storm and Thena, unsure how it could really help, or if it even should. Shade and Storm never did get along, and here was the werewolf rescuing it. Shivering at the thought it then glanced towards the other vampire with the plush, it’s head turned to the side curious of it. Thena didn’t give Storm a chance to fully become a wolf, launching at him she tackled the werewolf to the ground. Watching them as Storm yelped in surprise at her speed. A clawed hand gripped Storm’s neck forcing him to stop the transformation as he kicked and clawed at her. “I need you alive,” Thena purred in Storm’s ear, “At least for now. I wonder if it’s your pack the vampire had fallen in love with. It shouldn’t even be allowed, he should be marrying me.” “What are you talking about?” Storm glared at her confused on what she was saying, “That half breed doesn’t belong in my pack. I can care less on what you do with her, but he’s mine!” Storm hissed as he managed to wiggle his knee between then and launch her over him. Getting to his feet quickly he then blocked as a strike for the head came by her leg. Wincing in pain he glared at her, “You are definitely more stronger than he ever was…” “That’s because Shade is weak,” Thena smirked at the werewolf, “I suppose if she isn’t in your pack, I don’t have any use for you either.” “Kill him, you go through me first,” Lenore hissed at Thena, “He can track vampires, so if it’s a vampire you want he can easily track it using that thing.” Lenore pointed towards the plush, “You can do what you want to him afterwards. I just want help in finding the vampire I seek.” Glaring towards the open door, Thena hissed as her clawed hand had grabbed Storm’s already her strength was slowly crushing it. “Why should I believe you?” “Oh yes, forgot how vampires still can’t trust their own,” Lenore laughed a little not looking to Storm or Rin, “Our mind tricks don’t work on each other, though they do work on other demons..” Lenore looked towards Storm, her red eyes watching him closely, “I already worked it on this one here, he managed to track one vampire, but they had ended up getting away. When the plush detected you two I had snuck out the back to catch you two off guard. So you may release him now, he will not attack you.” Storm looked towards Lenore, slightly confused though it didn’t linger too long. ‘For now we play your game, until you sleep,’ Storm looked back towards Thena, holding his arm as she released her grip. He knew his arm could easily have been shattered by the vampire. ‘Three against one, must be your plan from the beginning,’ Storm thought looking towards Rin and Toshi. “If you don’t wish to let your buddy die,” Lenore replied looking to the plush, “I suggest you stop attacking.” “It can’t be manipulated?” Thena asked watching the vampire closely, “how is that possible?” “It is not a human nor is it really a demon. It’s all cotton,” Lenore said deciding to leave out how it was really made. Looking to the door that Vega had been blocking, he nearly jumped when something flashed with amazing speed into the smithery. Unsure if he could really trust the new wolf as they then transformed back into a beautiful woman before his eyes. Though what she did next startled him, she seemed to be signing something to Vega. Gad for the translation from Vega on what was being said. ‘She isn’t deaf just mute..’ Shade was interested as he’d never ran into anyone who even used another language to speak before, even in all the realms he had seen. Watching Hala as she seemed to be looking him over and signing something to Vega again. “I did get injured but Nights had patched it up,” Shade said glad that Vega was able to translate the woman’s signs. Glancing to his wound, it still burned from where the assassin had struck him. “I have a feeling it has poison the wound, I should have thought that sooner before it had healed..” Shade frowned, ‘To startled in seeing Nights I suppose to have even noticed it…’ Laughing Zane nodded towards Raider, “Yeah guess they only do that in movies for dramatic stuff..” Looking to Envy who seemed to be enjoying Raider’s attention, “Were you always like one of them? Or did you become something similar to them?” Shifting a little to get more comfortable as well as seeing Raider more easily. He found the person very interesting, to be able to put a soul into anything or just about anything. Realizing that he had stopped petting Gluttony, Zane looked down towards the plush in his lap. ‘Envy, and Gluttony like pets, Wrath has wings and does not like pets,’ Zane thought trying to remember which ones didn’t mind it and which ones did. Glad that some at least enjoyed it, he then slowly petted the plush once more before scratching at one of the plush’s ears. Curious of what the plush would do if it had been scratched, though he made sure not to do it too hard.

Syn moved close behind Ishimu Making sure he didn't get in the way or draw attention to him, the shadow on his shoulder and to the redhead learning how to hunt. He smiled when Ishimu seemed to have his targets picked out, “two? Don't get greedy now..” he whispered, more to himself then anyone. He fell back giving him some distance, not wanting to seem on top of him and wanted to give him some space. He thought for a moment of having Kasius here with them since he was the one who guided him with his first hunt. But it's too late for that.
He jumped slightly as Ishimu went in on the couple, pinning one and feeding off of the other right away. He smiled, he seemed to be doing fine, but worried he could get out of hand any moment. “Take it easy now, don't wanna get too greedy now” he said calmly approaching Ishimu and his two victims before laying a hand on his shoulder.
“A vampire that can erase memories by a single touch, that's really scary” Nights spoke as she made a mental note for herself, ‘always stay at least an ams length away if we run into him’. She picked up the faint smell of blood getting stronger as they neared the park, “they started” she said as she picked up her pace entering the park and trying to pinpoint where the two of them had gone. Coming across the path that they had took the smell of blood grew stronger she approached with caution unsure how things were going but came upon the two Vampires in question and what appeared to be two humans on the floor, one the redhead was feeding from and one who looked like he was already bitten.
She walked over to to the male and pressed her nose to the man's wrist since his neck had been bitten and checked for a pulse. She smiled feeling one, he was alive and in no immediate danger, “this one's ok Blinky” she said looking up towards the shadow on her neck before looking towards the two Vampires and the last human to worry about.
Syn looked up from watching Ishimu closely to see a wolf looking at the human Ishimu had just finished with, and a shadow? “Hey, SC are those two with you?” He asked unsure if the wolf was friend or foe but more importantly would it interfere with them.
Rin let out a Yelp as he was thrown aside as Toshi had detached him from his arm. He stumbled back onto all fours and shook himself out trying to regain his balance. He growled at Toshi snarling almost, “you wanted to use me! Why should I talk to you?!” He looked back towards Storm worried about him with the female vampire and he was attacked and pinned with the shadow nowhere to be seen. Just when he readied himself to attack her a familiar voice came through. Lenore was at the door and protecting Storm? Rin backed himself up so he stood in front of Storm, baring his teeth and growling as his ears laid flat against his head. He didn't like these odds, he wanted to protect Storm but if he attacked he couldn't stop the other two.
Vega and Hala looked at him surprised hearing about him being poisoned. Hala signed to Vega and ran out the door. Vega sighed and rubbed the back of his head, “two important questions and answer them truthfully” he said holding up two fingers as he spoke, “how long have you has this possibly poisoned wound and what exactly does it feel like”. He looked around for a clean stool for Hala to use when she came back moving boxes or materials and books on the floor before settling the stool beside Shade. “I'm only saying truthfully because it would save you from having to deal with some nasty remedy or that charcoal crap” he shuddered thinking about it.
Then, he froze for a moment, mimicking Hala putting two fingers to his neck like she had done before, “I forgot about that…” his attention was caught by Hala returning with a bag of possible remedies for Shade. She signed to him only for Vega to move her hands to the side and put two fingers to his neck again, “you did this just a moment ago right?” Hala looked at him confused but nodded her head getting an angry look from him, “I forgot that happened! You brought it up again!” Hala narrowed her eyes and signed faster than before looking angry at the male in front of her. “Don't tell me to calm down or take a walk!” He growled moving closer to her. She signed one more time, putting emphasis in each movement. Vega stared her down before moving away and rubbing the back of his head, “fine..but we will talk about it!”
Hala grinned winning the argument and sat on the stool in front of Shade and signed with an apologetic smile and signed to him, looking back at Vega who sat behind them working on one of the rings but kept an eye on them for translation reasons, “she's apologizing for my behavior” he grumbled, mocking her behind her back. Removing something from the bag she smiled and pulled out a brown notebook and pencil before opening it and writing inside and showing him the page “I am sorry for his behavior, now tell me about this wound of yours”
Raider smiled having pet Envy to sleep only to have Lust hop into his lap waiting for it's turn for affection. He laughed a little and began to play with it's ears between his index fingers and thumbs. He had heard Zane's question but didn't really know how to explain himself, it had been a few centuries since it had happened, “I use to be human at one point in my life, I was about nine, ten? when I became what I am today” he looked towards the ceiling trying to recall certain details that escaped him. “Thinking about it now, Gluttony and I were about the same age when we died” he laughed looking at the raccoon plush.
Gluttony paid no attention to the conversation around it, only to the attention it was getting from Zane and loving every second of it. At some points its foot would twitch when Zane would scratch one spot.

“Do you think we should have helped them?” the yellow robed assassin asked looking from the blue to the red robed assassin near her. “We don't associate with demons,” the red assassin glared towards the the yellow assassin, “Though I am curious if the vampire had lived from my blades.” “They weren't like other demons…” the one in blue said glancing at the other two and sighed softly, “I had given the vampire an antidote, but I am unsure if it had worked..” “Since when did we care about them?” Reaper glared, crossing her arms, “It's one less vampire to deal with..” “I liked him,” Fang giggled a little as she looked to the dark streets, “And he isn’t like any of the other vampires we have dealt with. Well onto our mission.” "We may run into them again," Lancer replied before jumping down into the darkened streets, ' I am curious of how the vampire is doing..'~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ Feeling the hand on his shoulder, Ishimu slowly looked towards Syn. A small hiss escaping his mouth as he looked back to his other victim, tempted to drain them of blood. He glared at them before shoving the person to Syn. “Drink,” Ishimu looked back towards Syn with a small smile, “You need some too right?” “Yes they are with me,” SC replied with a small smile, “Nights and Blinky.” It then looked back towards Ishimu shocked that the vampire would give up such a morsel so easily, or perhaps it was cause Ishimu had already fed that made it seem so easy. ‘ That could have gone worse I am sure if it wasn’t for the werewolf and Blinky..’ SC thought as it then looked back towards the white wolf, “You guys want to swing?” Petting the white wolf, Blinky got down to inspect the wound before looking back to Nights, “Can you lick it so they don’t bleed out?” It then looked to Syn and Ishimu with a small smile, it seemed Ishimu did have a little handle after drinking. Standing up Ishimu looked at the body laying, on the ground. He shivered a little as it brought the memories of the boy he had nearly killed. Stepping back away from the scene he then went behind a tree and leaned against it. Trying to calm himself, ‘ They are alive, the werewolf had said so. They are friends not foe..’ Closing his eyes as he tried to steady himself, glad that his head wasn’t pounding as badly as before. “Nights had patched it up, I think a day ago. But it burns like crazy, almost like it’s on fire,” Shade replied to Hala as he placed a hand on his forearm where the blade had hit. “I was lucky not to get my arm chopped off completely..” He laughed a little as he looked back towards Vega, “Why is he so grumpy?” He didn’t understand their complete conversation, but could only assume what they had meant. Glancing back towards Hala, Shade frowned, “I do not know what kind of poison was on her blade though, she’s an assassin so I’m guessing something that doesn’t take effect until its too late…” The thought scared him but only for a second as he then laughed and leaned over to Hala, “Your his wife right? How on earth did you two meet?” He tried to keep his voice down as he was curious of how a mute could end up with a big wolf like Vega. Keeping his hand on his forearm as if he could stop the burning from spreading up, he was sure it was too late. Gritting his teeth as he thought he should have made sure there was no poison within the wound before Nights had closed it. But her being with him again after so long, it was a welcomed distraction. A fatal one, with a small sigh he looked down at his arm. The splitting headache had started to return, he couldn’t tell if it was from the poison or from the lack of blood the past few days. Even though he had drank not too long ago, he had forgotten to drink while dealing with the two young vampires when he arrived. “This pain is familiar..but I can’t pin point it..” Shade frowned as he looked to Hala, confused on how to really tell her what it was. “It’s either poison from a creature on my world, or it’s from lack of blood. But I honestly can’t be sure..” Hearing what Lenore was saying about how she compelled the werewolf, Toshi wasn't so sure that was the case. The werewolf didn't seem to act compelled, and if Thena discovered that Lenore had lied. ‘ Why can't this be more easy,’ Toshi thought as he looked towards Lenore, “Sister?” Toshi turned his head to the side watching the confused looking vampire before him. He slowly walked over to her side, and put a hand on her bare skin. “Don't tell me you forgot your brother now.” A small smile came to his lips, knowing Thena wouldn't be able to catch him for using his gift. “No I'm sorry, I remember but it has been a long time,” Lenore replied as she gave the vampire a soft smile. “What have you done sister?” Toshi whispered in her ear. The quick touch that it was he had seen all that Lenore had done. He wasn't happy at what he had seen but kept it hidden from Thena. Lenore eyes had widened when he whispered in her ear. Fear as well as confusion stirred within her. Though it was quickly gone when the cupboard had shut. “The little creature is still here...I'm surprised it didn't run to it's master…” Looking to the cupboard, Thena smirked and walked over towards it. Opening the cupboard to peer in towards the yellow eyed demon within. “Well now, seems you like to be of use to someone other than to the master you serve so loyally.” While Thena was distracted with the little creature, Toshi released Lenore before looking back towards Storm. He couldn’t do much for the werewolf, not just yet. He glanced towards Storm’s feet looking to the little plush toy once more. “I am curious of how you work,” Toshi said as he knelt down and looked at Rin, taking the plush and looking back towards Lenore, “I shall be right back.” Gritting his teeth as he watched Toshi take the plush towards the hall and out of sight. Storm glared towards Lenore who moved towards him and smiled. Hearing her whisper in his ear while Thena was busy trying to grab the little shadow creature out of the cupboard. “Isn’t it good to have a vampire around after all?” Storm shook his head as he looked back towards the hall then to the cupboard. “If he harms Rin,” Storm hissed looking back towards Lenore, “I’ll fight you all to the death.” “No harm will come to it as long as you be a good werewolf for just a little while. You wish to live to track your vampire down? Then I suggest you be have so we can both get out of this alive,” Lenore replied with a small smile as she glanced to Thena who managed to catch it. Giving Storm a look before smiling to Thena. “I see you have found it and managed to grab it,” Lenore said watching the creature claw and dig at Thena. “Yes though it seems to be more mad than before,” Thena replied as she glared at the fighting creature. “Give it to the werewolf to handle, he won’t mind a few scratches,” Lenore said with a small laugh. Not looking back towards the others, Toshi looked down towards Rin with a small smile before closing them into a room. Making sure the others were busy Toshi then knelt on the floor, “A walking talking plush with sharp claws..” He put the plush down on the floor and looked around eyeing the shadows around the room. “Thena is more powerful than you can imagine, if you want Storm to live I’ll need your help.” “You were human?” Zane asked turning his head to the side and looking down at Gluttony, “Then how did you become...like this?” Zane asked confused as he looked back to Raider, “Does that mean you were brought back by another of your skill?” Not realizing he had stopped petting Gluttony.

Syn watched the wolf as it check on Ishimu's first victim before jumping slightly as the woman was shoved towards him, being told to drink. He chuckled and held onto the woman's wrist ‘even though he needs to drink more he still thought of sharing’. He looked at the bare wrist silent praying he wouldn't accidentally turned her before biting into her flesh and began to drink from her.
Nights nodded and licked the bite mark stopping anymore blood from being lost and looked towards the woman where the other Vampire, Syn if she remembered correctly, was feeding from her now. She just hoped that she would be fine after the two of them feeding from her. But as soon as he started, he finished.
Syn moved himself away from the woman, knowing if he drank anore she would be in danger and that was the last thing they needed. He took care of both bite marks from him and Ishimu and looked towards the wolf that had it's eyes locked on him. He shook it off and grabbed SC off his shoulder and placed it on the ground, “go secure a swing for us with your friends” he nodded his head towards the wolf and other Shadow, “I'm gonna go check in Ishi” he wiped some extra blood from his mouth and looked for his redhead friend.
He found him behind a tree looking distressed. He frowned and pulled Ishimu into a close hug with one of his hands resting on the back of his head “you did good, better actually” he smiled looking at the redhead in his arms, “just take a deep breath and relax” he said soothingly taking a deep breath and letting it go hoping he would do the same.
Nights smiled looking from SC to Blinky, “he really cares about him doesn't he?” She couldn't help but think about Shade and hoping that Vega was treating him well. With no sign of Thena nearby or any other vampire aside from Syn and Ishimu she figured this would be a good time to bring him back, and with some good news of Ishimu's first hunt going well.
First she nudged the couple closer to each other so when they awoke they would console each other on what happened. She smiled at the thought and wished to see it but she had more important things to take care of “Blinky, SC, I'm gonna bring Shade back, I'll just be a second” she said before setting off to look for something. She needed a sturdy surface for her portals unlike Shade and the others so she was on the look for a tree that would meet her needs. Once finding one that was was not that far from the shadows and young Vampires she opened a portal feeling the heat from the forge instantly, “Vega” she called grabbing the larger male's attention.
Hala listed to him as she dug through her bag for things that way help with his situation but picked her head up in surprise when he mentioned his arm almost getting chopped off. Nights never told her about these kind of things and dangers. She looked over he shoulder at the scowling werewolf behind her as he was concentrating on what he was working on. She turned to the notebook on her lap and wrote something under her apology, “he's grumpy because his son has been out on a hunt for about a week now, he's just being a worried father”. She smiled as the image of a light blue haired boy with eyes to match went through her mind, she wondered how her own son was with his group of friends.
She looked through her bag once more for something finding two jars, one with a green looking slime and the other with small black pills, nearly dropping the two startled by his sudden laugh followed by his question. This had to be corrected. Writing on the book once more under her other messages she showed him, looking slightly annoyed, but she couldn't blame him since he didn't know, “we are not married, were childhood friends who grew up together ” she put extra emphasis on the “not” by underlining it.
Hala's gaze softened seeing him grip his arm like that as he spoke. Now was not the time for things like this. She wrote in the book once more filling up the page, “ if it's blood you need we don't have a problem supplying you with that, but if it's poison from a creature not your world I'm afraid I won't have anything that will cure it without knowing what it is, but take these for now and I have something that should sooth the burning for now ”. She took his hand that was one his arm and shook out two black pills from the jar into his palm, her ears twitching hearing Vega talk to someone but not hearing the door at all, it only meant one thing. She looked towards the voices and the newly appeared portal.
Vega looked back towards Nights as she stood between the open portal, “in or out you know I hate when you do that” he growled lowly having the fear of the portal closing on her and somehow slicing her in half. He watched her step back and sit on the ground with her tail covering her front paws as a cat would.
“Is Shade ok? I've come to get him” she smiled, “I think he's out of danger for now” she saw Vega looked at her quizzically as she said for now.
He shook his head, just how much trouble does one Vampire get into? “He's being looked at by Hala, there's a chance the wound you patched up was poisoned”
“Poisoned!?” She ran through the portal just to be stopped by Vega holding her by the scruff of her neck.
“He's being checked out, I know you're worried about him but let Hala do her thing" he said as he let her go, watching her back up towards the portal looking between the other side of the portal and where Hala was with Shade. Vega shook his head and went back to working on the rings, actually having something that looks like a ring now.
Rim watched Toshi carefully but was caught off guard when he picked him up. He instantly began to struggle against him trying to get free, “let me go you blood sucker! I'll kill you!” He growled out of frustration, “damn this lightweight body!”
The moment Toshi closed the door and put him down he backed up from him with his ears flat against his head, “why should I believe you?! I saw what you did to Lenore, I ain't stupid like her!” He growled.
Raider looked towards the ceiling again as he tried to recall how he got this way “Necromancy ran in my family, that much I remember, but I was taken in with a family who was super religious and who thought I was “possessed” because I brought a pet bird back to life” he laughed remembering this faces, “so they tried an exorcism, but it backfired” he looked at Wrath as it had fallen asleep on Zane's head and laughed, “I had unknowingly befriended a demon and it helped me out, and return I gave it a new body” he looked at Zane and smiled, “that same demon is on your head”.
As soon as Zane stopped petting it Gluttony was hard at work trying to get him to start petting him again but wound up trapped under his arm somehow, but was content with itself.

Trying to gather his thoughts, Ishimu wasn't sure who had started to approach him. He hardly had anytime to react as arms brought him closer to them. He knew it wasn't the wolf, there was no fuzziness around him as he slowly put his arms around Syn. Hearing his voice helped him relax as he rested his head against his shoulder. Taking deep breaths and slowly letting it out through his mouth.
Still shaken Ishimu looked around them to see that they were alone. The last time they were alone Lenore struck, unable to hear anything close to them besides the little shadow creatures a few feet behind them dart towards the park. The area was quiet. Closing his eyes he kept his head on Syn before remembering Syn had needed to eat.
Slowly Ishimu pulled away from him before looking to Syn. “Did you get enough to eat?” watching him with his blue eyes glad that they were alone, even if it was for a short while.
Looking back towards Nights as she walked off Blinky unable to reply as it got tackled by SC. Before it could even growl or squeak, SC then took Blinky' little hand in it's own before darting towards the swings. “We are going to have fun before we get all serious again.”
“This isn't the time to swing,” Blinky protested as it tried to get away from the hyper shadow creature.
“When is there ever a good time to take a day off?” SC asked looking back to Blinky and turning it's head before running off through the bushes and coming to the swing set. “Come on I bet you'll like it.”
“But-” Before Blinky could protest it watched as SC tried to get into one of the swings. Shaking it's head he walked over and tried to help SC up letting them climb onto its shoulders.
Gripping the rubber part tightly, SC tried to climb up only to have the swing move and lose its balance. Swinging under the seat instead of in it, SC looked to Blinky who had fallen forward and was looking up at him from the ground.
“That didn't go as planned..” SC said before dropping down when Blinky had moved out of the way.
“That could have gone better,” Blinky agreed eyeing the swing, “Now what?”
“Guess we wait for the others…” SC said with a shrug as it made it's way to the stairs that lead up. “Might as well see what else we can do while we wait.”
“Oh sorry,” said Shade not meaning to sound like they were together. The way the had seemed close made it seem like they were. Looking to his hand as Hala dropped two of the dark pills into it. Taking one between his thumb and finger and looking at it closely. He wasn't too sure on what it was. He was about to ask until he heard Vega talking to someone and then shouting.
Turning his head he looked to the white wolf that suddenly appeared in the room before noticing the portal behind them. Right away he knew the wolf, he gave a small wave with his good hand, “Why are you a wolf?” He then smiled, “You’re cute as a wolf.” Laughing a little as he looked to Hala, “I may know who has an answer...but finding them won't be easy.”
Placing the pill back into his palm with the other so.it wouldn't fall. ‘How easy is it to find an assassin that doesn't want to be found..’ Shade frowned a little before looking to Nights, “You can sniff them out!” He nearly humped up and pointed to Nights.
“Also did you know these two aren't together but act like they should be?” Shade asked looking to Vega before looking back to Nights, “I thought they were married.”
“If you saw what I had you would be glad for what I had done,” Toshi said looking back to the other room, “those two would be a bad mix of you knew them.” looking back to the plush Toshi turned his head to the side, “I saw how you were created, not all but some.” Kneeling down he watched the wolf plush, “Now do you really want more vampires roaming these streets? They'll turn every human possible, those who refuse will be drained dry, there won't be many to stand up to a vampire army..” Crossing his arms Toshi closed his eyes, ‘It'll be hard to even get close to Thena, but at least I managed to somewhat get Lenore… ’
Handing the creature to Storm, Thena looked towards Lenore. “So what are you needing a werewolf for?”
“I have a gifted vampire I am after. I lost track of where they had gone and so was going to see if any new blood trail had opened up any to follow,” Lenore said with a small shrug, “They have sharper noses than what we have. Otherwise I wouldn't be i tested in them.”
“Gifted?” Thena narrowed her red eyes, “What do you mean?”
“You are nearly princess of us all, there is truly no place in our realm where your name is not mentioned. I thought you knew of the gifted humans,” Lenore said watching Thena closely, before looking to Storm who still held the shadow creature in his hand. It had seemed to calm down though, “The gifted human once turned can find others of their kind who are human. Those who have the sight can hunt down werewolves, demons, elves, and even fairies that dwell within this city. No more hiding for the lesser species.”
The little shadow creature’s eyes widened as it heard of the gifted vampire. Knowing who exactly the vampire was talking about. Squirming in Storm’s grip it looked to the werewolf holding it.
The shadow creature couldn't possibly escape here with these three. It wouldn't get too far, nor would it have time for a portal… ’ Storm thought looking to the creature in his hand watching as it seemed to know something on what they were saying.
“A demon?” Zane tried to look up without disturbing Wrath on his head. “Is that why he's a little different from the other plushes?” Looking to the other plush they all seemed to be some kind of animal stitches together with different pieces. ‘Are the demons too or something else?’ Zane yawned and quickly covered his mouth as he looked to Gluttony who seemed to have fallen asleep on his lap.

Syn smiled seeing that Ishimu seemed to calm down, even if it was just a little. He put his hand on the smaller male's head and ruffed up his hair a little laughing, “I had enough, thank you though”. He looked around noticing how quiet it was around them before finally realizing the two were left alone.
He removed his hand from Ishimu and rubbed the back of his head, “maybe we should get back to the others...SC and it's friends should be waiting for us by the swings...or,” he looked around them one more time and smiled, “we could ditch them and walk around? It is your call, you did win our little bet”. He didn't care what he decided on, just as long as he got to spend time with him.
Hala motioned Nights to come closer, putting the notebook aside since she could sign to Nights and have her translate faster than writing it down.
Nights smiled and sat between Hala and Shade, fully knowing that Hala was going to use her as a translator. “I'm like this because it was the fastest way Blinky and I could get out of the house and away from Storm, who had some odd plush thing with him? It tried attacking me while I was running out”, she frowned, “there's some other things I need to tell you but you need to get better first”. Hala waved to grab her attention as well as Vegas and signed to them both.
“Ugh that nasty crap? Hold on” he put down the tools he was working with and stepped outside.
Nights nearly jumped when Shade had shouted about finding someone, “find who?” She looked at Hala who simply signed something. “Assassin? The trio of Assassins? If that's who you're talking about I only really know Fangs scent since the two of us went looking for your friends”. She also tilted her head and looked back at Hala and Vega as he entered the room again holding something, “I can see where you're coming from” she laughed lightly, “but they're not”. She looked back at Shade about to say something before noticing that his cloths and hair was wet, “what happened while I was gone?” she looked to Vega suspiciously.
Vega stepped forward and handed Shade a flask of water, “he took a bath, he reeked of blood, and this is for the pills, activated charcoal should help absorb some of the poison, but trust me on this, do not chew, just swallow”, he could see Hala off to the side laughing.
Rin listened to Toshi as he kept himself close to the door still not trusting the vampire in front of him. His story did seem convincing, Lenore was dangerous, he knew that, but there wasn't much that she could do during daylight, he saw that for himself. But this other lady scared him, how she easily took down Storm and just the presence of her shook him down to his stitches.
He relaxed himself and sighed, “fine, I'll help” he said quietly, “but if I have to hurt Storm you can forget about it, you should know I'm bound by blood to him” ‘does this mean he knows about the others and my creator? This is getting dangerous real fast’. “What do I need to do?” he asked looking determined from before.
Raider and nodded, “that's why he's a little different, each plush had it's own race it belonged to but Wrath and Lust are the only demons here, the others consist of Vampires, Werewolves and Humans” he looked at the plushes around them, Sloth somehow sneaking in and resting against Raiders leg as he sat down.
He smiled seeing Zane yawn, “you must be tired, it's been a busy day for you, there's an empty bed in the next room if you want to sleep, the plushes, well the awake ones, and I will keep watch”, he then lifted up Sloth and gave the bear a shake, “and if you want a sleep buddy you can use Sloth, it loves to sleep” he said with a laugh.

“Can't get a pinpoint from here,” Fang frowned from under her mask as she looked back towards Reaper and Lancer. “There is too much blood being spilt tonight.” “The vampire count is getting out of control, I wonder if we should ask headquarters about eliminating some of the newborns…” Reaper's eyes narrowed as she watched Fang and Lancer turn towards her, “I'm just saying it's either let them kill or let more humans become them or die. The city will be in chaos. I can only imagine how they are trying to control the situation.” “It has been harder to move around with the authorities out and about. Not to mention headquarters will send out other assassins to help with the chaos,” Lancer frowned at the predicament, ‘ Its not there fault for what happened to them, but something needs to be done… ’ Closing her eyes she sighed letting her shoulders relax as she heard more sirens in the distance. “To protect the city,” Lancer looked to Reaper, “Don't over do it.” Reaper smirked from under her mask, but didn't hide her joy from the others. “Let's go kill some demons!” They had chosen a quiet place to chat and decide on what to do. Lancer jumped down from the tree she was sitting in, landing on her feet. She glanced to Fang, and Reaper before nodding and darting off on ahead of them towards the smoke filled sky. The sirens were getting louder as they got closer to the burning building. ‘I'm sure this wasn't from humans… ’ Lancer thought as she halted in the shadows of a building close by, watching authorities try to put the blaze out. ‘ The increase of activity around here is crazy…’ Lancer frowned behind her mask as she heard the others behind her. “It seems we are too late here, shall we see if we can find the ones who fled?” Reaper asked taking out her scythe and glancing to Fang then to Lancer. “We should do something to help the humans out…” Lancer narrowed her eyes before looking to Fang and Reaper. “You two look for the ones who had done the damage. But stay stealthy and let no one see you.” Her golden yellow eyes were fixed mainly on Reaper, “Keep you cool.” watching Reaper nod, Lancer let out a small breath between her open lips before looking back to the street. “Then go.” Unsure if they had gone or not, Lancer watched the firefighters try to put out the flames. ‘ It appears to have been abandoned before it had went up in flames. Luckily no one was inside when it had caught on fire,’ Lancer thought as she slowly made her way closer to the emergency vehicles, so she could hear what was going on elsewhere. ~~~*~~~*~~~*~~~ “It is quiet here..” Ishimu admitted, almost creepy quiet. Looking back towards Syn he smiled a little, “We can walk around a little, and meet up with the Blinky and SC a little later..” The air smelled of blood, and he was sure he had managed to get some blood on him. Taking Syn’s hand in his, he lead him away from the humans they had bit. Hoping to find a place that wasn't so quiet. Looking through the darkness and towards some lights that lit up the park. Ishimu glanced around them before slowly starting to head towards the light to see where they were at. Going through life-‘ I have got to change my ringtone…’ Ishimu thought as he quickly answered it letting go of Syn’s hand for the time being as he stopped walking. “Hello?” Where have you been!? Did you know your work called? You missed your first day! That doesn’t look good when you are suppose to be getting onto your feet.“ Sorry I got caught up in a few things,” Ishimu replied running a hand through his hair, ‘ How am I supposed to explain this all to her…’ Are you hanging out with the wrong crowd again? You know how I feel about them.“No mom, I haven’t even seen them in a few days,” Ishimu said with a small sigh as he looked back towards the street light. It was still dead quiet, and he was sure with the loud phone call something may be heading towards them. You said you would stop by when yesterday, and you haven’t even called saying you couldn’t even make it. What is going on with my poor boy?“Nothing mom honest,” Ishimu said unsure of how he could even tell her what he had been through just the night before when his life had changed. He was sure Syn would come along as well if he had met his mom, ‘ Most likely to make sure I didn’t bite her..’ He frowned a little at the thought, ‘ How would I even introduce him? Hey mom this is someone I had just met and he turned me into a vampire. I’m going to start living with him, that’s cool right?’’ Shaking his head as he didn’t even hear what his mom was even saying at the moment. “Look I’ll try to come by sometime tomorrow.” “Yes I promise to call if I can’t make it..” Ishimu nodded a few times, “Alright mom bye.” Hanging up he quickly stuffed the cell phone into his pocket. ‘ If only I could make myself disappear…’“Yep I took a bath,” Shade nodded as he took the glass from Vega and then looked at the charcoal pills in his hand. Unsure exactly how they were suppose to help, even if it was a little. He shrugged his shoulders before taking a mouth full of water and then putting the odd black pill into his mouth. Right away he was tempted to spit it out, for the taste wasn’t at all what he had thought it was going to taste like. He quickly swallowed and stuck out his tongue, “Yuck!” He glared towards Hala, “Is there a coating you can put on it that doesn’t make it taste...bad?” Shade couldn’t determine just the right word for the nasty pill as he looked to the second one, not wishing to take another. “Of course, you two just need to escape while you can. Though it won’t stop the vampire uprising she is planning,” Toshi replied shaking his head, “I have thought of playing with her memories but she doesn’t let me get close. The only other person that may be able to stop her is Shade.” Watching the plush, Toshi wasn’t too sure if they were relaxed or not as they still appeared to be intimidating. He could only imagine what Thena and Lenore were up to while he took a small break from the two. ‘ Hopefully she won’t let anything happen to the werewolf while I’m with this plush..’ He thought as he crossed his arms with a small sigh. “The only other warning I have before we do head back out, is don’t let Storm be kissed by Thena. She is able to control the mind, often how she gets what she wants. Though her technique doesn’t work on me.” He walked over to the plush and extending out his arm as he knelt down, “So we have a deal to help each other? When this is all done we don’t hear from the other.” “Interesting, I didn’t think there was a human with the sight,” Thena said with a small shrug, “So your using this werewolf to track them down? Then what becomes of him?” “He has another mission,” Lenore shrugged, “I don’t care what happens to the werewolf, but I need them until I find the vampire I seek. Once done you can do whatever you wish to him. Though he had said he had another vampire to track...Perhaps you know him.” “I know many vampires,” Thena said with a small growl as she looked to the werewolf holding the little creature in his hand. Watching them to make sure they didn’t release the shadow. “I wonder how long it will struggle before it’s master comes for it.” “Didn’t know the things have a master,” Lenore said glancing towards the hall, wondering what was taking Toshi so long with the plush. “Though if you don’t mind I’d like to find the vampire I seek and be on my way.” “Don’t speak to me like that,” Thena hissed before glancing towards the door Toshi was behind, “Toshi hurry up with that plush and lets go! We are wasting pressure darkness. I didn’t wait until dark to move just to be trapped in another house!” “Humans too?” Zane turned his head to the side as he looked to Lust before watching Raider strangle a plush called Sloth, “So is he called Sloth cause he sleeps so much?” He slowly started to move his legs, trying to get the pins and needles to leave before getting up. Not realizing he hadn’t moved for a while. Looking back towards Gluttony on his lap he laughed a little, “Do you wish to sleep with me too then?”

A walk with just the two of them would be nice, a chance to unwind and actually be themselves and not in danger for once. SC and Blinky wouldn't care right? They have a while park they can enjoy, without being seen hopefully.
He couldn't help but look at their hands as Ishimu took ahold of his and lead him into a direction. He avoided doing the same before because of his conflicting thoughts because of SC and it's observant eyes. Just as he was about to ask where he was leading him he heard that oh so familiar ringtone. Ishimu let go of his hand and Syn immediately covered his mouth laughing a little.
He waited for Ishimu to hang up as he listened in on the conversation with a grin, the park was so quiet it was like he was on the phone with them. Seeing him end the call and shove the phone in his pocket he laughed, “soo...how's Mom?” He laughed lightly once more, “god, doesn't that bring back memories right “kid”?” he couldn't help but smile.
A faint howl could heard in the far off distance.
Vega let out a hearty laugh, “what did you expect? Grape flavor?” He got a smack on the arm from Hala for teasing him, “what it's true, it's medicine, it's not always going to taste good, be thankful I got him water”. He reached over one more time past Shade and Hala grabbing the book on the desk displaying the odd looking runes and glyphs, “I got one ring almost done but this is the hardest part so I'll be going back to work” he said bas he returned behind the forge and began to work again.
Nights looked back to Shade with a frown, “Shade, I have to tell you, Storm has one of your shadows, but he's not alone, Thena with someone named Toshi is with him but he's protecting the shadow from them..” she still didn't understand why Storm was protecting it but Blinky said it was fine last time she asked.
“But for some good news,” he from disappeared into a smile “Ishimu successful hunt, he took down two humans and shared one with Syn, they're both fine and well and are with SC and Blinky and we're talking about a swing” she said with a small laugh
Rin nodded his head, “right, escape wh- did you say Shade?” His tail began to walk behind him, “that's the vampire Storm is looking for!” He realized that he was getting excited about a vampire while talking to a vampire, what a day he was having. But did Storm know that the vampire that he was hunting could stop that scary lady that was with him? He frowned a little but would trust Storm and his decision. He looked at Toshi’s hand in front of him and extended his paw and placed it in the palm of his hand, “we got a deal”.
“I normally don't like humans but I made the exception for Pride and Sloth and...you could say that” Raider sighed and looked at Sloth as it slept still, “it didn't even notice it had died before we told him” cracked a smile, remembering the conversation about why he was a bear and why there was a demon cat talking to him.
Gluttony nodded it's head several times and climbed onto his shoulder ready for him to go to the room and sleep.

“Could it be that they are just causing havoc around the city? And not turning anyone at the moment?” Fang glanced towards Reaper who shrugged as they headed off towards the other part of town.
“It’s hard to say what they are thinking, newborns hardly ever think of anything but food,” Reaper replied glancing around them, “It seems odd though, no blood scent is in this area either. Could it be more closer to Lancer than to us?”
“Are you saying we are going the wrong way then?” Fang asked glaring at her as she skidded to a stop, and looked back towards the slowly dying smoke in the distance.
“I’m not sure,” Reaper looked around them as she stopped near Fang’s side, “It just seems weird doesn’t it? Several humans are being targeted to be turned into newborns, and only so many haven’t made a move.”
“When you put it that way it does sound odd,” Fang admitted with a nod as she glanced around them, the area was quiet except for a few cars heading home or to late night work. “So they must be keeping them away from the humans for now..”
“Warehouse most likely..” Reaper nodded in agreement, “But we don’t know the area well to say where..”
“How frustrating..” Fang sighed as she crossed her arms watching the few cars drive off into the distance, “Do we head back to Lancer then?”
“No we should at least keep trying to find them,” Reaper replied looking towards a few buildings, “Let's find a good spot to look for them.”
Shrugging, Fang wrapped her cloak more tightly around herself. ‘Something feels off.’ Not waiting for Reaper, Fang headed towards the closest building and started to scale it.
‘Was this a diversion?’ Lancer’s golden eyes narrowed as nothing out of the ordinary seemed to be on the police radio.
Slinking through the shadows, she headed back towards the building that were away from the fire. Almost to the shadows of the buildings, a piercing howl broke the silence around her. It was far off, but it didn't sound like a dog howl. There was a distinct difference that the assassins had to learn, for they never knew just what would come in the way of missions. Lancer’s golden eyes narrowed as she contemplated on whether to follow and investigate or deal with the matter at hand.
“Yeah like old times,” Ishimu replied running a hand through his red short hair before looking to Syn. He smiled a little, it was good to see Syn back to his old self. “I'll see her tomorrow night so no more phone calls like this happen..”
‘The howl sounds close, we better move,’ Ishimu took Syn’s hand once more heading towards the light, ‘Once there we should be safe.’
“Hear that?”
“Do you think it's Nights?”
“Not sure she went to get Shade,” SC replied before sliding down the slide, “Should we check it out?”
“If we don't and something bad happens, do you want to be on his bad side?” Blinky asked following after SC and stopping at the bottom.
“Awe so much for fun before work…” SC whined as it headed towards the forest, “let's make sure the humans are fine first then we search for the howl.”
“Now you're getting it,” Blinky laughed and followed after SC, “Will be hard to track the wolf anyway, it might have moved on already.”
“I swear if it's Nights playing a joke, and jumps out of the darkness…”
“Not much you can do if it's her,” Blinky reminded SC before heading into the darkened forest.
“Yeah well...if I could…” SC said with a small hiss, “It's too quiet…”
“Is it? With you talking I hadn't noticed,” Blinky laughed before SC tackled it, causing them both to roll in the direction the people had been.
“Well they could taste a little better,” Shade mumbled as he quickly drank the other, cringing as he listened to what Nights was saying. Trying to not taste the bitterness of the charcoal pill, he nodded a little.
“So it's not SC or Blinky, in some ways that is a good thing. But normally Storm doesn't bother with the shadow creatures, normally with good reason. So why now?” Shade looked to Hala as he slowly got to his feet, “Thank you for the help, but I am needed. Can't have a scared shadow creature on its own against a werewolf.”
“Can you find them?” Shade asked looking to Nights, ‘Might need SC and Blinky…’
“Well to make them not suspicious you'll have to fight me as I carry you back..” Toshi replied not looking forward to it as he heard Thena call for him. Taking the plush into his hands before unlocking the door and opening it.
“About time let's get going,” Thena hissed before heading towards the door, “Lenore have the werewolf follow, and don't let the creature out of your sight. It'll lead us to who we are looking for.”
“Of course,” Lenore replied glaring at the vampire’s back before looking to Storm. “Don't give me that look, it was that or have her kill you.”
“I look forward to challenging her actually. I'm curious if she is stronger than him,” Storm replied with a small smile before looking to the shadow creature still fighting. “Calm down a little, she won't get to you. At least not easily, so if I release my grip will you stay on my shoulder?”
The shadow creature stopped and looked to Storm, a little confused. Feeling Storm’s grip lesson it slowly nodded, climbed out of Storm’s hand, and clawing its way to Storm’s shoulder where it gripped his shirt. Blinking as it looked from Lenore to Storm.
Looking at his hand, Storm sighed softly at where the shadow creature’s nails had scratched. There was only a little blood thanks to his fast healing. Patting the little creature's head he glanced towards the door. ‘He better not harm Rin.’
“Hey Wrath?” Zane poked the plush with his finger, “Can you let me up? I don't wish to have you fall as I stand.” Taking Gluttony into his arms gently, he looked to the sleepy Sloth, ‘Something tells me he'll sleep wherever…wonder if it'll just be me and Gluttony then.’ Moving his legs a little more he could feel the pins and needles slowly start to leave.

Syn smiled hearing that he was going to see his mother tomorrow, “mind if I come along? I want to meet her” he said with a light laugh, ‘and possibly apologize since it's my fault things happened’
He felt Ishimu grab his hand again as he lead him in the same direction as before. He smiled a little and gave his hand a light squeeze, “so where are you taking me? And who are these “wrong crowd” people your mom was talking about?” He emphasized doing air quotes with his free hand. He had more questions but he wanted to take it slow, unsure if he wanted to talk about it and have this whole process repeat itself.
Hala looked at Shade worriedly, Nights had told her he thinks of others before himself but this was dangerous. But in the end, it was his decision. She sighed as she stood from her stool and leaned over wrapping her arms around Shade in a tight hug and let go signing something to him with a smile.
Nights smiled and laughed lightly, “be careful now, don't be afraid to call on us if you need help, you're part of this family now” she translated.
Vega looked up from his work at the three and smiled faintly, ‘one of the family eh Hala?’ he shook his head and went back to finishing the ring, “come back before Dawn, I should have his ring done by then” he said lightly hammering a chisel onto the ring.
Nights smiled wider, “you'll be able to walk in daylight again soon” her tail behind her swayed excitedly. She glanced over at the portal she came through, “I can make a portal back to where Blinky and I last saw Storm and follow his scent to him and the show, just remember who's with him..” she growled at the thought of the royal pain only to be since by Hala rubbing her head gently.
Rin smirked, fighting against him he could do. The second he opened the door to go back to Storm and the others he immediately fought against him, trying to pull away from him growling and snarling, even biting him twice mentally apologizing to the vampire.
the moment his eyes fell on Storm he stopped, concerned for the Werewolf “Storm! They didn't hurt you did they?!” he struggled against Toshi once more wanting to be back by his side.
Raider plucked the sleeping Wrath from Zane's head and held him in his arms with Envy, “just call if you need anything, we're most likely geing to be in here or out front checking up on some things" he smiled to the boy, “sweet dreams Zane, oh and if you see a lioness plush, that's Pride, she sleep in there sometimes”
Gluttony nodded a few times and giggled at Sloth who opened their eyes looking at Raider and Zane, “what's up” I asked in a groggy voice.
“Sleep!” Gluttony chirped excitedly pointing to itself, Zane and Sloth.
Sloth yawned and closed it's eyes again, “sounds good to me, I'm beat”
Raider laughed sheepishly, just how did he allow such a lazy spirit to be part of his plush team?

“You had heard that?” Ishimu groaned a little as he slowed down, there didn't seem to be any danger around them just yet. “What she calls wrong crowd is mainly those who pick on me and get me into trouble with the law. It goes from stealing and theft, normally. But I haven't had that issue on being picked on a while since I haven't been home.”
Looking back at Syn, he slowly released Syn’s hand. “Are you sure? She can sometimes be a handful to someone new…” Ishimu rubbed the back of his head, ‘How to explain all this to mom is going to be interesting...more so if he tags along. Don't need her freaking out and thinking this is just another within the crowd..’ A small smile came to his lips at a thought, his blue eyes watching Syn, “Do you have anything that isn't black?”
“I don't feel Shade or Nights here,” SC said looking around before looking up at Blinky. The little shadow creature had landed on top of it in their small play fight.
“He didn't return home,” Blinky replied as it got off SC and looked around as well. Helping SC to its feet and looking to the two humans who were close by. “They seem to be fine.”
“Then what was with the howl?” SC asked confused.
“I am not sure,” Blinky frowned as it looked back to SC, “Should we summon him?”
“Shade wouldn't be happy,” SC replied shaking its head.
“Yes but it would be funny to see their face,” Blinky replied with a small giggle.
“Only because he doesn't like to be summoned,” SC nodded with a small smile, “To cause him trouble would be fun.”
“Thank you Vega and I shall remember that,” Shade said with a small smile before looking to Nights. “Where are Blinky and SC now?”
‘Hopefully saving the shadow creature will be easy, then find the assassins and go from there,’ Shade thought as he closed his eyes to help regain his footing. ‘Whatever pills those were should get me by for maybe a few hours..’
“No they didn’t hurt me,” Storm replied looking towards Toshi, “You better not have harmed him.”
“Wasn’t able to find much about the plush,” Toshi said sounding disappointed, “Anyway we shouldn’t keep Thena waiting.” Toshi looked to towards Lenore who was waiting by the open door. Trying to keep a hold the struggling Rin, the best he could. Wincing in pain when he could no longer manage the pain of the teeth and claws. Hs grip had loosened causing the plush to slip free and fall to the foor.
Walking over Storm picked up the plush. Looking them over to be sure they didn’t need to see the scary man who had made him. “You okay?” His blue eyes glared at Lenore as he slowly made his way outside.
Looking around Storm wasn’t sure where to really start looking for the vampire. ‘What does she want with another of her kind?’ Feeling the shadow creature’s grip tighten, he patted the creature gently.
“What way wolf?” Thena asked, her red eyes watching him closely. Though her voice was calm, her eyes told a different story.
Unsure still as to what way, and the little creature didn’t seem to know either. ‘It’s almost like he had disappeared,’ Storm thought then realized, ‘Dang that vampire.’
“He isn’t in this realm, he must be somewhere else. Rin can’t track him, neither can the shadow creature you have,” Storm replied watching Thena closely still.
“Is this true?” Thena looked to the shadow creature as a small smile came to her lips, “You have warned him just moments before we arrived. Foolish shadow creature.”
The shadow creature started to shake on Storm’s shoulder. It was sure if it called for help, Thena may grab it and use it as a hostage. Baring its sharp teeth, its yellow eyes glared at Thena. It was no match for three vampires, and storm couldn’t help out much either. The shadow creature glanced towards Storm, still feeling confused as to why the werewolf would be helping something like it out.
“Don’t even think of harming the shadow creature. It may not be able to find the one you’re looking for, but Rin still might when they return. After all I’m sure by now he has figured out you have one of his shadow creatures, normally he wouldn’t let harm come to them,” Storm said watching Thena closely.
Laughing a little Zane got to his feet, and headed for the door. Looking back to Raider, “Thank you.” Keeping Gluttony close he looked towards Sloth, “You coming or sleeping here?” Not waiting for an answer he headed off to find the room Raider said he could sleep in.

Syn let out a chuckle, “it was kinda hard not to hear it, it's so damn quiet around here”. He listened as Ishimu spoke about being bullied and getting in trouble with the law. It kind of reminded him of his first few weeks with Balgrim, all the fights and trouble he caused with Syn getting caught up in it just by being there. Thankfully Kasius stepped in and stopped it. He wondered how it would have been if he and Ishimu had meat earlier.
“And I think I can handle myself when it comes to your mom” he grinned, he survived this long after getting turned into a half vampire and living with Balgrim and his crew, how bad could one mother be? “I can't wear black?” He put his hands behind his head and thought as he looked up at the darkened sky, “I'm sure I have a grey shirt somewhere…” he then laughed, “don't worry I have more than just back clothing” he looked over at him with his green eyes smiling.
A silver wolf came running towards the direction of the smoke and fire, bobbing and weaving between the onlookers who just stared at the mess in front of them. It looked through the crowd to see if they person it was looking for was among them but sadly they weren't.
It sniffed around for any sign of them but the smell of smoke was making it difficult to pick up any scent of them, let alone breath. It moved away from the building and began its search once again but caught a different scent. Looking towards the shadows it could just make out a cloaked figure, curious, it got closer. It was indeed someone in a cloak but they also wore a mask, maybe they know where the person he was looking for.
It sat across from them staying within the light from the street and cleared it's throat, “excuse me uh..” it tilted it's head unsure if it was a male or female, “cloaked one..I'm trying to find someone, can you tell me if you have seen a woman with long White hair, golden eyes and wolf ears like mine?” It asked making it's ears twitch in time of his request tilting his head to the other side.
Nights looked over to the still opened portal, “they were just outside when I saw them last, I'll go get them”. She saw Vega glance at her from the corner of his eye, “I know I know” she huffed, “in or out” she mocked copying his tone before she ran through the portal looking for her two shadow friends. Not seeing by the portal she looked around calling for them, “Sc? Blinky? Where are you guys?”
Hala stood at Shades side in case he needed some support getting up or walking to where he had to go.
Rin felt relieved to be back with Storm, “I'm fine! He didn't harm a single thread on me” he laughed. Toshi wasn't bad but he felt better with the one he was created for. But it was back to facing Thena and Lenore. He sniffed the air again to see if the vampire's scent came back but no luck.
He began to get angry when Thena began to blame the shadow for possibly warning the vampire they were looking for but that wasn't the case, he disappeared long before they had come “Oi! Scary lady!” He growled at Thena, “it wasn't this shadow things fault! There was another one holding Stom and I back while his scent disappeared, then a white wolf came and snatched that shadow up”. He remembered Storm knew them but didn't want to say that much, he was probably in trouble for speaking out this much, and if she took it out on Storm he would never forgive himself.
Sloth let out an overly exaggerating sigh, “I have to move? Never m-” it was cut off by Raider walking to the room behind Zane and tossing it on the bed with a bounce. Sloth raised a paw, “thanks man”.
Raider sighed and covered his face with his hand, Sloth made him question everything he did for that plush.
A lion looking plush looked up from its sleeping position at the corner of the bed, “have you come to get some rest child?” It asked almost in a whisper.
Gluttony nodded to the plush and looked at Zane with a grin, “Pride!” The lioness plush nodded its head in response.
