[i]After a long while, Ophelia finally made it to her destination. The council was sure to laugh at her request, she figured, but it was worth trying nonetheless. She looked up at the [url=https://tmifandom.files.wordpress.com/2013/04/tmi-trailer-2-forweb-57.jpg]building[/url], taking in the features of the structure. It was intimidating, but beautiful all at once. She had never been here before, but knew that this probably wouldn't be the last time she'd visit. Two tall Vampires stood outside of the main door, their eyes remaining steadily ahead. As Ophelia approached, she folded the little map and placed it inside of her cloaks inner pocket. Before she could say anything the two men shifted, opening up the door with a simple wave of their dominant hands. Ophelia's eyes watched curiously, in awe of their abilities. Every creature she came across in her life had been so unique, it never ceased to amaze her of their power. 

Unsure at first where to go, she turned to one of the guards, her expression slightly confused. [color=6ecff6]"Where do I go?"[/color] she asked finally. 

The Vampires then answered her in unison, and it made her hair stand on end. [color=8882be]"Use your senses, and you will find the way."[/color]

Her brow furrowed and her lips turned downward in a slight frown at their response, and she nodded. She normally was only very in tune with her sense of smell. Despite her senses being extremely heightened, she realized she didn't use them often, nor all at once. Maybe it was because she never really felt threatened in a way where she needed to be so on guard. Finally then, Ophelia took a deep breath in through her nose, catching scents of Vampires who she could tell were wise in their age and power. She listened, hearing footsteps in nearby corridors, and murmuring coming from the distance. She began walking toward the scent and sound of the Vampires and eventually came to another doorway, though this one was just a tall, rounded archway. 

Inside of the room sat four tall, marble thrones placed in the shape of a crescent moon along the back wall, which was shaped the same. Two males and two females sat in the thrones and they were talking amongst themselves. Even though Ophelia knew better than to assume they didn't know she was there, she pretended they didn't, and took the time to look at each one individually. The first male to her left had mocha colored skin, with long hair the color of obsidian and stone grey eyes. His features were more rounded, and he was of average height. The first female was much paler in comparison, her complexion more similar to Ophelia's, though her hair was the color of amber when the sun hits it. Her nose and jawline were sharp and angular, chiseled almost. She felt intimidating just by appearance. The next was another female, this one Ophelia immediately recognized as Camille. A slight smile played on Ophelia's lips, and the last male had chocolate brown hair, and was much smaller than the first Vampire. She figured though he was either very old, very powerful, or both despite his size. 

Finally Camille spoke up then, her eyes shifting from the redheaded female, to meet Ophelia's gaze. [color=ed145b]"Come on in, Miss Kariana."[/color] 

Her voice sounded so formal, compared to when she spoke to her earlier. Ophelia smiled again faintly and stepped slowly into the room, noting there were two smaller seats facing the council members. Camille's hand motioned for Ophelia to sit, which she did without hesitation. She tried to make herself comfortable, but found she was sitting on the edge of the seat, figuring her position matched the building anxiety in her throat. She wasn't sure whether she could begin talking right away, so decided it best to wait until she was spoken to. 

[color=f9ad81]"What brings you here, young one?"[/color] the first, mocha skinned Vampire called out to Ophelia. 

She barely had to think about her answer, and decided to get straight to the point. She knew that whether she was blunt or not, they'd find out what she was there for. 

[color=6ecff6]"I am bonded with a human. And despite that I am aware that is not the norm, I was curious whether there was a way I could possibly sleep at night when he does."[/color] Her question seemed simple enough in her mind, and hoped they would have a solution. 

She could feel the tension in the air thicken as the Vampires shared glances. Even Camille seemed slightly surprised at this request. Ophelia's attention then turned to the smallest, male Vampire, who began to speak immediately. His voice was deep and strong, and Ophelia's eyes widened just slightly. 

[color=ed1c24]"There is a way. But it requires you to gather the items first, and then have someone very skilled create the serum for you. It will take many nights to complete once you have found everything required, but if you are willing to do that, then you shall have what you wish for."[/color]

[color=6ecff6]"May I have a list of the items I will need?"[/color] Ophelia asked, as politely as she could. 

The Vampire nodded, and a paper appeared before her then, each item written out in a sharp cursive style with crimson ink. Ophelia reached out, taking the list and looked it over once before placing inside her cloak pocket alongside the map. 

[color=ed1c24]"I will warn you though, child. There can be some... Negative... Side affects to taking this serum daily. Just keep that in mind, my dear."[/color]

Ophelia's gaze met his strongly and his expression was serious. She nodded, and thanked them for helping her. 

[color=ed1c24]"Farewell for now. We will be seeing you again... Sooner than you think."[/color]

The Vampires words echoed in Ophelia's mind the entire way back toward the city, and she chewed on her bottom lip so much that she bit into it. Wondering on what the words meant, Ophelia found herself entering Roxas' home, though only to be immediately greeted by a silver bullet through her chest and left shoulder. [/i]
