Ryner’s entire body rippled and suddenly she was standing back behind the desk,a duplicate of the chair she’d brought around next to her. She looked down at the offending piece of furniture, then to the one across from her, and back to the one next to her with an unhappy sigh. [color=skyblue]“Now why’d you go and ruin it? I was told to hold you until she got back and here I am, struggling with a punk ass vampy. One too many brews down the ol’ hatch, if you know what I mean! Haha!”[/color] Ryner cackled as she spoke, the words lining up less and less with Ryner’s mouth as she leaned over the table and poked Eris’ head. The sensation of touch never came.

[color=skyblue]“Oh, feisty boy in here tonight! Guess my little spell’s coming undone since I’m about outta magic here. They already cleared the building so my job is [i]technically[/i] done.”[/color] The voice echoed around the room, the words coming slurred and choppy. Ryner became translucent and the room grew darker, colder. [color=skyblue]“Take the south exit and head to a dorm they won’t look for you. I’m sure someone like y’all has a friend or two to rely on. Or, you can just hide here until Princessy shows back up!”[/color] 

The room when dark and the chill overtook them as whatever spell they were under disappeared. The three of them were just standing a few steps behind the chairs and nothing was set out like Ryner had done just moments before. Outside, a few voices could be heard murmuring, their footsteps loud with the sound of armor, before they passed down the hall.

They arrived at Dennis’ dorm unhampered. Several other students stood outside, staring at the pair as the approached. Dennis let go of Amaris and bowed. [color=d42cf9] “Uh, thank you so much. I had uh a good time tonight before all…”[/color] He waved back at the campus. [color=d42cf9] “Do you think uh maybe we could hang out again?”[/color] A fe of the others behind him rolled their eyes and slipped back inside while the others turned to each other without speaking. One girl stood stiffly, arms clasped tightly in front of her, as she stared down Amaris.

The vampiress drew back as if she was struck, mouth agape for a moment. [color=red] “You think I [i]loved[/i] her? Ha! I couldn’t think of anything further from the truth! Open your damn ears! What bit of what I said suggested I loved her? I [i]loathe[/i] her. No, I wasn’t going to steal back into the night. I was working my way up to the bitch. I’d play with her toys, tear them all apart and liter them around for her to see, and then when she came sniffing around, I’d tear her limb from limb!”[/color] She shouted at him, lunging for him again and baring her fangs. In the background, the lights turned off. One by one, they flickered out and the darkness advanced on the ballroom. The wailing of emergency vehicles went quiet and the chattering of the investigation stopped once only the moon and the stars remained to illuminate the campus.

[color=red]“And what does a worthless little worm like you think it deserves to know my name? You, who grovels at her feet, at the feet of this blasted Council who gave away everything they worked for-we worked for!-just to accommodate so worthless agreement? We are immortal and great! They are fragile, weak, and helpless. Their magic is a crutch! So why are they worth [i]anything[/i]?!”[/color] She screamed at him. [color=red] “I’m going to kill you anyways so what does it matter? The last damn thing you’ll hear is-[/color]”

[color=bc8dbf]“Valentina.”[/color] Ryner interrupted, arms crossed as she stared down the vampiress in faint amusement. She’d come up over the edge of the building as Valentina lunged and brushed a bit of dirt of her suit jacket. [color=bc8dbf] “I thought I had you killed all those years ago. You must have had a vial of that blood still. I must have missed one.”[/color] She walked steadily, unperturbed at the violence in front of her. As the Princess spoke, Valentina’s shock quickly changed to fury. [color=bc8dbf] “I’m sure we could have settled this a different way.”[/color]

[color=red] “Settled? You condemned them to death! If we still had that blood, I could have put the whole crew back together!”[/color] The vampiress screamed, her attention off Victor and fully on Ryner. Ryner started walking away but paused.

[color=bc8dbf]“I suppose you could have. But that did defeat the purpose didn’t it?”[/color] She asked, considering the question. [color=bc8dbf] “You all were a fun distraction Valentina but my siblings were right. It was time to come back.”[/color] Ryner waved her hand dismissively, back still turned. [color=bc8dbf] “You can finish this right, Victor? I’ll start the paperwork for the whole mess. Try and hurry please.”[/color] With a strangled shout, Valentina pulled a blade from her boots and threw herself at the Princess.
