The Rebel Vampire

With a soft sigh Alexi takes in the sight before him one last time. The exposed fangs, the glowing eyes. Each little sign of his discomfort pulls at something deep inside the human but his resolve does not waver. No matter how his feelings try to sway him, Alexi has never allowed such things to steer him off course. True, it is his emotions themselves that put him on his path, but if he is to follow it to the end he can not let them take him back off. With a gentle nod Alexi reaches into his bedside stand an pulls out a small cylinder. Cracking it and shaking it gently he watches as the pale green glow becomes brighter little by little until at last it's at maximum brightness. Once he's sure it's set he tosses the small plastic toy over to the vampire's bed and clicks his bedside lamp off. Once settles into his pillows and covers Alexi can not directly see the light and is able to swiftly fall into an exhausted sleep.

Hours later, a few hours before sunrise, Mois wakes. At first he does not move. All the stresses of his mind hit him the moment he is fully conscious and the weight of it all keeps him from even shifting off his now sleeping arm. 'He's probably in there now, sleeping beside that guy. . .' Mois has no real distaste for the rebel leader, other than a basic disapproval of all the killings he's was directly involved in, but he still can no help but be on edge at the thought of it being so close to his precious little brother. It takes a full ten minutes before he at last manages to roll off his arm, a groan finding it's way out as the arm is beset by pins and needles, but despite the feeling he rolls right out of bed and on to his feet.

He gets ready for work, still an hour away, but Mois has always been one for arriving early. In fact there's a running joke that if Mois is ever on time, his coworkers will know the apocalypse is one it's way. He ignores their antics mostly, not one for socializing, much, but sometimes he wishes they would stop paying such close attention to his habits. Once ready for work he heads out to the main house, stopping by the private dining room to scoop up his usual morning fare. An sandwich made with scrambled eggs and cheese, bacon, spam, and slathered on one side with a whipped dressing. He makes short work of it, downing his glass of orange juice before heading towards the garage. He slows as he glances towards the main foyer, sorely tempted to check in on Alexi. However he pushes aside the idea, positive that Alexi will have already established that Mois is not allowed in the younger Vandros's room for now.

They use to be able to freely enter each other's rooms, and if it was not for the vampire currently chained up in there, Mois would be more than welcome, however Mois knows his brother well and does not even bother tempting fate. Instead he heads to the garage, nods as the few servants he sees in greeting, before hopping up into his own SUV and heading off to work.

~*~*~*~*~*~

When the sun finally rises Alexi wakes up automatically, his body trained to wake him when he tells it to. He rolls around a bit, stretching and groaning to work out all the kinks sleeping brings to his body. There aren't many, the expensive bed and fixings not just there for show after all. It is pitch black in his room save for the still glowing green light coming from somewhere past the foot of his bed and with a sigh the master of the house rolls over and clicks on his lamp. Sitting up he can feel his heart racing as he closes his eyes, once more trying to be polite. 'I am so glad he let me sleep. I was worried he's be too upset for that. But I guess reading must have done some good. . . .I so want to look at him, even in his distress he looks so beautiful. . .' However he keeps his eyes closed for a few more minutes as he pops a few more joints. Unable to take it any longer however he shifts on to his side, propping his head on on his hand, and looks over at his prize with a fond look in his eyes, a small smile on his lips. “And how are we this morning?” he asks, examining the vampire carefully as he can in the angled light.

There is only one niggle about your post. There is no window in Alexi's room, so once all the lights are turned off, there is no light source in the room. It is completely black, no light even coming in under the door.

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

'Way to go man, tell him how much worse it could have been. Tear him up a little bite more inside!' Kuro knows that eventually such news may make Aoba actually feel better, but he knows how much his Little Mouse is just trying to cope with things the way they are. Thoughts of going to hell of all places would not help. He huffs lightly, peeking over his shoulder as he hears the apple core landing when tossed. 'Well, that's a waste' He wiggles his finger so the core floats over to him and in two quick bites he munches down the remnants of apple. Before he can turn back away from the conversation he watches as Aoba slumps sadly and bites his lip. 'Oh, come on Little Mouse, you know I won't let you starve'

He doesn't even really notice the look from the priest, instead he is focused on Aoba. Rolling his eyes he rolls himself off the couch and wanders slowly over to stand next to the depressed angel. Reaching out he runs his fingers gently over one of Aoba's wings and makes a shushing noise. “C'mon Little Mouse, don't pout. If I'm willing to fight and shed my blood for you, do you really think I'm going to let you starve or something like that?” Not sure how else to make him feel better he cups the back of Aoba's head, just like he use to do in the prison cell, before leaning up to place a gentle kiss on his temple. In a soft voice he whispers, “Trust me, Little Mouse. . .” He stays standing close until the angel looks at him, then with a smile he strokes his thumb along the back of Aoba's head, a fond smile on his lips.

Father Gerard watches the display with a mix of shock and real interest. 'I've heard of demons falling in love, but it's the fist time I've ever seen one being so tender. Normally a demons nature does not change and the one they fall for just puts up with their obsessive and violent nature, or flees before it' His mouth drops open slightly when Kuro kisses the angel but he snaps it shut a moment later. Too shocked by this to speak properly he simply continues to watch until Kuro steps back.

Chuckling slightly Kuro scoops up the book and begins reading it. He's read it before, but it never hurts to refresh one's memories on important subjects. Plopping down on the couch he goes back to ignoring the room in general, only a little of his attention on the conversation.

Oki. If you don't want to hook to another RP site, you can always use me second home, The City of IF. It's for people aspiring to be writers, or writers who want to become better at it.

The Rebel Vampire

Well, this is the other site I'm actually active on - Role Play Adventures

So if you need a back up for being in contact with me, that one will work. I've got the same name there. This site ha been flickering for days, but I hope it doesn't go down and erase everything again. I'll be making back-ups soon too, maybe even tonight since all these flickers has kept several of my regulars from responding, giving me much more free time than I'm use to.

No problem, I kept you waiting much longer than that! Good luck with work, and have a wonderful vacation!

When Realms Collide {AkiBlue & PopeAlessandros}

Seishu's nose wrinkled as once more the minions seemed to challenge his abilities, poking at his ego, but as he begins stretching near the edge of the pool he just smiles. 'I'll show them. I know they are only teasing for their own nefarious purposes, but I'll show them any way. If they want a show, they're going to get one, and one they will not soon forget' He glances fondly around at all gathered before letting out a sift sigh. 'After all, this may be the last time they ever see anything like this unless they all begin trying to learn this skill, but even then, they will never have the grace an power of a guardian. . .' Seishu smiles sadly at the thought of how the little ones, as he sees all of those who have come to be close to him other than Enasi, will be deprived of such a spectacle once he leaves the realm.

Off to the side the trio of young minion nod, smile, giggle, then point to Rasha who accepts with a sharp nod. Seishu watches as both Crios and Harper bop him on the head but just shrugs it off. As the three of them turn around Rasha can not help getting a little hot under the collar as he watches Seishu walking away towards the steps. Bother Crios and Harper notice, but the other kids are too excited and too innocent to notice such things. His eyes slide past Seishu to Enasi and for the first time in forever Rasha feels a strong pull towards his own guardian as well. Harper can not help but lean close to Crios and whisper, “I see it takes Lord Enasi showing a little skin to get anything but shy fear from the little trickster, huh?”

Crios nods. “Rasha must be the most biologically sexualy based dream I have ever met! Well, short of the “Dream Guys” and Dream Girls” But, I haven’t actually met any. There are only a few that make it here.” Harper nods. Humans are so fickle that the “Dream Lovers” rarely stay the same long enough for them to be strong enough to last to the end of the human's life.

Seishu meanwhile slides into the pool, honestly stumbling a bit and having to catch himself on Enasi. He lingers a bit with his chest pressed against his counterpart's before dropping a kiss on his cheek and a short thanks, sliding off into the water carefully. The three young ones line up and before either guardian can go under water Rasha speaks up. “For today’s display of underwater acrobatics we have My Lord Seishu, Lord of the Nightmare Realm, and currently residing in the Dream Realm for a rejuvenating break from the chaos in his own realm!” His voice sounds very much like a sports announcer's, the nature of the room making his voice echo pleasantly. As he talking Crios makes his way to the chairs, pulling one up tot he edge, While Harper take a seat cross-legged beside the chair.

Rasha's arm comes up and swings over to point at Enasi. “And the challenger, from our own Dream Realm, My Lord Enasi! He is the lord here, and has run unopposed for quite some time, always the star in his minions' eyes. Will he be able to defend his title of most revered by all of his minions, or will Lord Seishu take from him some of his beloved denizens? Find out today, at the palace swimming pool!~” Rue and Inui giggle, the adopt serious faces.

Rasha steps back and Rue steps up to the edge. He coughs lightly and tries to keep his expression serious as he takes his turn. “The judges for today's display will be recently discovered Nightmare Minion, Inui!” He motions to said minion who blushes slightly. “Our local master prankster, Rasha!” Rasha nods, puffing out his chest and looking around importantly. “An finally, the fastest flying rocket of pure happy energy, Me! Rue!” He bows from the waist before coming back up to continues. Off to the side Harper wonders for a moment who's faster over all and decides to challenge Rue to a race some day. “Today’s competition will be judges on three factors: Skill, Grace, and Showmanship. Our official score keepers, please welcome the General of the Dream Realm forces, the fleet footed Harper!” Harper raises a hand and nods. “And the greatest doctor the Dream Realm has ever had the pleasure of harboring, Crios!” The fox man's tail swishes once and he nods as well.

Seishu can not help his blood beginning to sing through his veins, the anticipation threatening to burst out of his skin and dance across the surface. Finally Rue steps back and Inui steps forward. He takes a deep breath, not use to speaking louder than a hushed mutter, but for the sake of the two guardians he forces himself to speak up. “The rules for this competition stand as thus: Each display must last at least thirty seconds, and no more than five minutes. Each contestant can add or subtract anything from their display for that time period. Displays must not go past the edges of the pool, but above the surface is still considered in bounds. No bodily fluids may be used to enhance the contestants displays.” Seishu rolls his eyes at this one, not having bled on purpose. “Contestants are allowed to use their competition in the display given the act does not harm the other contestant. And finally, each contestant must put forward three displays total, going back and forth until all three displays are done for each.”

Inui steps back with a little bow and Seishu lets out a happy sigh. His happy gaze shifts over to Enasi and he chuckles lightly. Swimming close he slides up to stand directly behind the Dream Guardian, his skin barely a hairs breath from the shorter male's. He leans in, his lips brushing Enasi's ear as he speaks. “Today is a good day to be alive. Don't let me down Enasi, or I may be taking away more than one of your precious little ones when I go. . .” Seishu knows better, but he prays the soft threat is enough to help Enasi take the competition more seriously. Slipping away through the water he begins trying to come up with what he wants to do first.

Meanwhile Rue, Inui, and Rasha all step up to the very edge of the pool to better see the displays, while the two elder minions look to one another ans smile lightly. Rasha brings his tail around to hide his “attraction” to the two barely clad guardians and hums softly as he waits for the show. 'Oh, I hope Lord Enasi puts up a good fight. I know they all think I will favor My Lord Seishu, but I'll be able to be more fair if I can see that fire in my lord's eyes. . .' He chuckles lightly and watches the two guardians slips further into the pool.

No problem. I was figuring Joseph would have no idea about the potion.

We'll take the low road.

No problem, I am patient. I hope you and your mother feel better soon! Take your time, no rush.

The Power of The Fallen ~ PopeAlessandros x AkiBlue

Not able to ask the question he really wants to ask Gerard settles with asking about Aoba's first night. After hearing how it went he turns his attention back to the demon. 'I can at least find out some things I suppose' “So, Kuro is it?” Kuro flinches, then slowly turns so he can once again see the priest. His grumbling stops for now, but his eyes are narrowed in irritation.

'Why is it talking to me? It knows I'm not fond of it's presence, doesn't it?' Kuro knows his thoughts are a little foolish sounding, but the holy feeling coming off of the man only serves to remind him of things he'd rather forget.

Father Gerard does indeed notice the death glare coming from the demon, but with the angel's attitude towards the beast he's fairly positive that he's not in any real danger. Clearing his throat he smiles. “So, um, how did you two meet?”

Kuro is a bit torn. Not only between answering the man or not, but at just how to answer. 'If I'm as honest as I want to be, I know Little Mouse will feel really bad, but I really really wanna make it clear to him that I'm not doing anything wrong and am not some sort of threat to Aoba. The last thing I need is him bringing some of his buddies to exile me because he thinks I'm some sort of monster just looking for a pet. . .' Settling for the quick ugly version he growls a little before answering. “I was captured by some moronic angels and dragged up to heaven where I was tortured repeatedly for information I don't have and the Little Mouse was the only one with balls enough to be my medic, and eventually I tricked him into freeing me. There, now you have the entire history of our relationship, now leave me alone and go pester the one who's actually happy to see you. He could use the positive energy.”

With that Kuro once more turns away with a huff, this time his head resting on his bent arm while his other arm lay along his side. Father Gerard looks to Aoba with an unreadable expression. 'Well, the exile makes sense now. I knew he was too nice for the usual reasons' He smiles warmly at Aoba and gives him a sympathetic look.
