Blood money

[Vlad]

Vladamir Tenroth quietly slipped threw the hallways of Arcane Academy's lower levels, his home. He hadn't left them for damn near a month and the only way he had survived was blood provided to him by th academy. After his attack on a citizen of Babylos he had retreated here for safety Now however Vladamir was near the top of the lower levels, where more and more people would be showing up and he might find someone to feed on. Maybe they would be a student maybe they wouldn't, either way food was scarce down here. A rat there and stay bat now and then.

"Damn Academy..."

He softly muttered as he rounded a corner, another long and narrow hallway. Muttering something inaudible to even vapiric ears Vladamir headed for the stairs that he knew were at the end of this hallway. He didn't even know if it was day or night, either way the first window he found would be pretty good sign. Of course if he came up to sunlight he would be exposed for longer than a second and die. The risks he took for food.

Mm...

The young girl stepped onto the lower levels - a place where she didn't belong, but, she wanted to explore. The violet haired girl walked down the steps, with a small tapping sound as she went. The demonic little girl held a small smirk, yet her eyes showed nothing but a dull stare while she roamed the halls of the lower levels of the academy. Nothing interesting, other then the fact that it was dark, but that was nothing new to the girl, who could control them easily. Ah, the dangers and adventures she'd have with that little demon voice in her mind... It was interesting, really. She could only imagine what would happen if she turned into a vampire - would the voice of hers awaken? She could only wonder.

You're so useless... Why bother coming down here? It's all the same up there - just darker.[/b][/color]

Ignoring the voice, she turned at a corner and started walking gracefully through the hallway, seeing a silhouette of a figure up ahead.

Who the hell...?[/b][/color]

[Vlad]

His nose picked up the scent of fresh blood before his eyes came up to look at the small figure that approached him now. Oh good, no need to leave the lower levels after all, he could feed now. Smiling a bit hi right fang gleamed in the night and he quickly hid it again, his prey would be better to not know she was about to be his sustenance. Problem however, if she was down here she was most likely a student, and if she was a student then she was technically out of bounds for food. He was so hungry though, he hadn't fed in days, almost 3 days and he was becoming more primal, wanting food more and more.

Calm yourself Vladamir, she won't know anything happened, just think she passed out.

Heading toward the girl Vladamir reached her in a matter of seconds, he seemed to have moved faster and he had, just to fast for human most humans to follow. He loved his little abilities, his ability to control sand to make him move faster and faster.

"It's awfully late to be wondering on your own ma, you should probably head back upstairs..."

His eyes caught some stray light and softly glowed, his mouth opened slightly and as he stared into her eyes he softly released his breath. Eyes locked with hers he was using his charming gaze ability, his natural vampiric talent for charming people into doing his bidding.

[Minji Étoile]

Her eyes watched the figure...until the moment he stood in front of her. She slightly arched a brow - he was fast, she'd admit, a little too fast for her own good. A small shadow formed on her right hand, blending in quite well with the surroundings, her eyes narrowing slightly. She wondered what he was doing down here, but...after a moment of thinking, she didn't really care. She was about to walk past him - or around him - until he spoke. His voice sending shivers down her spine, making her feel vulnerable, and she gave a low, sadastic laugh, nodding her head. Was he suggesting that this place could possibly be dangerous to her? She looked up to him, which was a bad idea, seeing that she was instantly falling into his little...gaze.

...Minji... Snap out of it... Minji...! MINJI! SNAP OUT OF IT YOU LITTLE B-TCH![/b][/color][/size]

And of course, with the voice's annoying screeching in her mind, she couldn't help but to snap out of his trance. Something was wrong, obviously, and she stepped back slightly, turning her head a bit. What is he...?

A creature of the night, a blood sucking re-animated version of a human. Hehe. If you get bitten, I wonder what'll happen to me...[/b][/color]

And how do you know this?

Silly child. Your stupidity makes me laugh! Hehe. I was a vampire too you know~ A lonnggg time ago, before I died from some stupid curse that brought me here to you~! So when you die, I get your bod-[/b][/color]

I get it.

"...Who are you[/b]?"

[Vlad]

She broke it, that little b-tch. What did she have that allowed her to so easily break his gaze... he should probably use another tactic, such as appealing to her sens of lust and power.

"Who am I? Oh I'm no one, just a rather hungry vampire who thought you looked like a rather tasty treat. Why don't you just relax and this will all be over quick enough."

Vlad smiled and bared his fangs, the white enamel showing that yes he was indeed a vampire and that yes he was able to sink into her and take what he wanted, he could easily overpower her as well.

"Don't bother resisting, you'll lose my dear."

[Minji Étoile]

So he was a vampire. Well, obviously, since the stupid voice in her head told her, and the fact that he said he'd feed on her make her laugh. She grinned, obviously knowing that she'd get bitten and possibly even die, but whatever. The more danger, the more fun, is it not?

Hmm... Hehe, my, my... Now whoever said that we'd resist? He has wonderful charm~[/b][/color]

"Mmm... Whoever said I would resist...?"

She flashed him a smile, her eyes alluring, as if daring him to bite her right there and then.

"...Painful... Haha, make it painful..."

She tilted her neck sideways just a bit, as if inviting him. She wanted to feel pain...

Hahaha, Minji, Minji, Minji... Do you even know what will happen if you turn into a vampire, my sweet hostess?[/b][/color]

I don't care.

[Vlad]

Vlad grinned, it was so good when they just gave in and admitted to defeat, he would make it hurt, he would feed like he hadn't fed in a long time. He grabbed her in his arm roughly and opened his mouth up wide. His fangs extended a bit as blood pulsed threw his eyes making them a beat red. He sank down into her flesh with a satisfying rip and her neck was torn open as his fangs ripped in. He sucked hard and life giving blood flew into his mouth and threw his veins. He close his eye and sucked hard, harder and harder until she would be drained.

When he was done a few minutes later, the girl completely drained, he let go and dropped her, she hit the stone floor with a thud and he whipped away the excess blood, in five days she would be a vampire, just like him and he had his first minion.

He reached down and picked the girl up, he held her in his arms lightly and smiled, hi first 'bride' so to speak. That was the rule of vampires, she was now bonded to him threw the bite, and she would be his forever now. He walked her back to his room in the lower levels, a spacious area with a few pillows, a bed, and a few chairs with a table. On the table were several packets of blood, all chilled din ice and wine glasses. She would have to feed when she awoke next, the transformation took five full days but if she fed on blood, he could speed it up.

[Minji Étoile]

Feeling his fangs tear off her flesh, a low growl escaped her throat, her teeth grinding against eachother, the voice inside her screaming in agony. The girl took the pain better then she'd expect, and the next thing you know, she felt the life being drained from her, and she went limp, her body hitting the cold pavement with a soft thud, her eyes closed, yet she was fully awake mentally.

Or at least, she thought she was.

I know who I am now..[/b][/color]

Tch, that's great. So who are you, oh smart one?

Some great-great-great grandmother of yours. HAH! Gross. I'm so old compared to you.[/b][/color]

Hours Later...

The purple haired girl awoke from her light slumber, her eyes fluttering open, unfamiliar with her surroundings. Her neck seemed to be doing fairly well, yet she had a sudden urge for something...but she couldn't exactly point it out.

And the urge only grew.

Her hands clenched onto the bedsheets, feeling exhausted for some reason, her eyes only staring up blankly at the ceiling.

[Vlad]

Vlad saw her awake several hours later and he smiled, he had his first minion. She was actually pretty cute when she was sleeping, with her soft purple hair falling about her face. When her eyes stared at the ceiling her would move over her and look down at her, grinning slightly.

"Nice to see you're awake, you're probably hungry, there's a glass of bold on the nightstand to your left, that should do the trick."

Walking away from the bed Vlad sat down at his table and sipped on his own glass of red liquid, it went down nice and smooth and he picked up a book he had been reading. She would most likely seek him out for answers, and other things now that she was a vampire under his control. He liked that idea, having someone wrapped around his little finger, someone he could have do his every will. Maybe he should look into more minions like this, ones who would obey him, let him control them and let him get a good feeding in now and then.

[Minji Étoile]

Her eyes shifted over to the boy, blinking twice before closing her eyes again, slightly pushing herself up onto a sitting position. She struggled slightly, but she managed, and looked to her left. There was a glass alright - but what the hell is bold? And of course, she was told by the voice in her head that it was blood.

Blood...

"Mmmm..."

The dark, crimson liquid. Picking up the glass, she pressed her lips against it and tilted a bit up, the thick liquid sliding down her throat. IT was a marvelous taste... But then again, Minji always thought blood tasted sweet, so this would be no different. Setting the empty glass back down, her tongue went over her top lip and tilted her head a bit before turning slowly towards the unknown vampire - her so called.."master" now, was it?

"...Mm... Who are you?"

She asked this question once, but he didn't properly answer. She asked who he was, and he gave her an answer of what.

[Vlad]

"Vladamir Tenroth, third generation Tenroth and current head of the Tenroth family. Consider me your new best friend, as every person in this building now hates you with a passion, save one man, whom you'll meet later. However for now you don't need to worry about a thing, you'll be here for the next five days, et comfy."

Vlad turned back to his book and sipped down some more blood, this was going to be a long five days as he would have to stay close to her and allow her to grow more powerful wit time. For now she was still costly human, save that incredible need for blood.

"Oha an by the way, feel free to take a shower, the bathroom is behind that door."

At the word door he pointed opposite of him to a door set in the wall. Beyond it Minji would find a spacious shower with marble flooring, a large bath tub, whirl pool of course, and a shower big enough to fit two maybe three. The whole thing was done is marble and looked stunning, Vlad loved having money now and then.

[Minji Étoile]

She gave a small chuckle when he mentioned taking a shower. Yes, she longed for one right now, and the blood was certainly refreshing, giving her a bit more strength for her current condition, but what about her clothes? Did he want her to wear the same thing, or what?

Ack, she'd figure that out later. Right now she just wanted to take a long bath to ease her stiff body...

"...Alright.."

Of course, she was forgetting about the fact that she needed a towel, but she didn't care about that either. If anything, she'll just put on her current clothes even if she's soaking wet - she's done it before, not that big of a deal.

Pulling herself up, she walked into the fairly large bathroom, everything looking beautifully decorated, and she closed the door and turned on the water in the tub, stripping down and sinking herself into the hot water. She gave a small sigh. Yet, she couldn't help but wonder...

Why is the tub so f--king big?

[Vlad]

Smiling a bit to himself Vlad continued reading as the girl began to take a bath, towels would be found on a rack behind her, all she had to do was look up and she would see them hanging a little to the right of the tub. His fingers flipped a page of the book and he sighed, he was in need of a bath as well but he didn't want to walk in on her, god forbid he should go something to piss her off and wind up getting smacked. SO he continued reading the book and wondering how long she would take. He should probably have taken her her clothes... oh well, she could get them later.

he had a cloak similar to his for her, and a simple set of black pants and a rather tight black top, it was ideal for running around at night like most vampires did, cept those damn day walkers. Shouting out he hoped she would hear him, it was rather important.

"Be sure you don't stay in to long, water kind of makes you weaker, and in your condition you should probably drink up."

[Minji Étoile]

...

His shouting woke her up from her little nap in the tub, and she peeked open one eye, then closed it up again. She sunk her whole head down into the water before popping up again, her opening her eyes and sat up. She pulled out the plug from the tub, draining the water, while she stood up and dried her body with the towel that was right there - literally - and wrapped it around her small, yet well curved body. Her hair was still wet, but during the time she was drying herself, it wasn't dripping every two seconds. Opening the door a bit, she peeked her head out and gave a small satisfied smile.

"Are you going to let me out of this place to let me get my clothes, or am I stuck in the ones I wore before until you let me out?"

She guessed it was dark outside, seeing how she was knocked out for a couple of hours. Well, before he could answer, she closed the door and slipped on her undergaurments, as well as the clothes she was wearing before.

[Vlad]

Vlad chuckled as she asked if she was going to be forced to come out in her old clothes. He merely nodded and she put her old clothes on. While she did that he would walk over and place the new cloak and clothes on the door handle, then knock and let her know they were there.

Turning back to the table we walked back over, picked up his glass, sat down, and began to read and drink again. The cool blood slipped down his throat like wine and he smiled a bit licking his lips. Having her around wasn't going to be bad, probably not good but definitely not bad either. Besides the fact that he was currently "involved" with another girl he wouldn't try anything with the girl, not a thing.

"Feel free to leave the cloak off, it's not necessary after all. It's recommended though, helps hide your features when you feed. Speaking of which you'll have to learn how to hunt."
