Lost in the Dark

[Neko~San]

The winds blew and he tree leaves shook. A small figure walkd through the shhadows. She was scared, being alon. They had always taught her that being alone was bad. She had always had one of Them with her. But They were dead now, never to torment her again. Wbut what of the others in this world. Would they hurt me? I hope not. She sighed. She was lost in the dark, no knowing whereto go or whom to call friend. She stumbled around for a while, looking for anywhere, but there was no where to go.
There was a crackle near her. She turned and saw someone standing in the shadows behind her.
" Hello?" She called.

[cherry]

Midori Verde wandered around the forest floor. Inspecting all of the different plant life. Trees, bushes and flowers being her favorite. She could already feel her body starting to regenerate from the plant life. She stopped in the middle of the forest and sat down Indian style and started to vibrate. The plants were giving her life. Sustaining her body. Being a maenad, she needed some kind of energy to live.

Then she heard twigs breaking in the distance. She got up and started to walk toward the noise. When she came to the small girl and she said hello, Midori came out of the shadows and said. "Hello there."

[Neko~San]

A woman came towards her.
" Who are you?" Hiitsu whispered. She had thought that these places where empty of people, that no one was here.
" I'm ssorry, I didnt know there was anyone out here."

[Noir]

Wrapped in shadow Gazing upon prey Noir slowly strode the very tip of their senses. As long as she kept her distance from those who she stalked she could avoid them learning of her presence and therefore hunt them effectively. Eyes likely black pools her pupils lost their fiery orange color and locked in on them they were close close enough for her to hear their hearts they beating fluttered lightly as they met each other. Pumping viscous thick warmed over crimson elixir it was almost enough to get a young vampires mouth watering. Low to the ground she approached silently lightly treading the ground below bushes and shrubs. Every breath inhaled took in the scent of what she desired and she would get it.

The forest was cold dark and relatively devoid of life only the dark hues of hearty browns greeted her at the bottom. Rich green barely took sway even the bushes held a drab color more reminiscent of the wastes which covered the world. Seeing how they had no idea what she was she slowly rose to a standing position not to far from them she had taken to the common practice among vampires to simply wear black. But seeing as she came out with dark purpose in mind she draped a black cloak over herself...no one needed to see her she thought to her self as she did it. Hood hanging low over her face all that could be seen was her lips blood red and full just how she liked them. As long as she did not let on what she was she figured they would have no reason to fear her.

Fangs still sheathed she she plainly revealed herself for trust was needed before she could get close maybe close enough for a small surprise. Drifting ever closer she seemed to glide along the uneven low lying forest floor beneath them. Having been a dancer in life gave her great grace as a vampire. To extend a greeting was her goal but she wanted to be but a few feet away before she did so. Taking but a step more she was no more then a few arms lengths behind the forest dweller. from her the scent of flowers seemed to emanate it was strange but at this point it did not truly matter she was likely to be lunch soon enough. Asking questions about them was slight pointless n the long run but her humanity made her far more likely to want to do this as gently as possible. Her charm would have to suffice...it would help her get close just as it had help her master get her.

[Neko~San]

The trees wee screaming, something with dark intentions was coming.
" Anyway, " The girl said, her voice small and frail, " My names Hikitsu. Theres something out there." She didnt bother telling how she knew. She turned to walk away. She now knew there was an abandoned house nearby. It was small, and maybe she could live there.
" Do you know your way around here? Theres an abandoned house nearby and I want to find it." She looked around, the trees still whispering danger.

[cherry]

Midori nodded. "Yes," She could sense a vampire nearby. Actually, two vampires. She couldn't do anything about it though. She didn't have her sword though. "The abandon house is just a few yards away from here." She nodded.

Cherry wandered throughout desert. "Damn me." She muttered. She had lost track of Noir at sunset. "Damn, she's fast." She said to herself. She finally came to where the desert met the forest. She sniffed. "Noir's in here." She told herself. She pushed her way through the trees and started to look for her again. That was the last time Cherry ever left Noir out of her sight again.

Midori caught up with her and waked by her side. "My name is Midori Verde." She smiled. "What is yours." The girl's energy was confused. Midori wasn't sure if she could control her or not.

[Neko~San]

Hikitsu followed Midori. She could feel the vampire. She was tall, her blood red har gleaming in the moonlight.
" Hello," She whispered. She smiled, a small smile that was really too small to recognize. She followed them. They spoke of the other vampire, Noir. She was around here somewhere. Hikitsu folloed them.
" Is this it?" She asked as the came into a small clearing.

[Noir]

Now upon them Noir took a very quick look at them she remembered Cherry's policy on hunting but the blood of animals tasted like the bottom of a boot, and it did not fill her with the same exuberance as the blood of a humanoid. Her presence was no longer masked and so she quickly began her greeting not like it would matter for to long what she called herself. Bowing her head not to far behind the green one Noir respectfully gave her self to them with no inclination what she might be planning. A wolf within the hide of a wolf her muscles tensed for she could feel the weight of her next few action beating down upon her. The gravity of the situation was not quite realized yet but it would be she had committed the act already in her heart, her body simply had to play catch up was all. She would be as fare as death, nonchalant in her choice of prey for life would choose the same no method was hidden in its madness. Why should she deviate from the order of things, moral grey zones hid conscious choices such as these."Good evening girls may i chance you for a bit of help?" she said this as she raise her head once more though her mouth could still be seen she stayed quick to her cover for even the slightest unsheathing of her fangs could alert them of her intention.

She would have to wait but a second to pounce for she had no practice in her dark gift of the mind. Her charm had been untested and she did not know how well it would work on one let alone two people. Hidden beneath the shade of a midnight cloak she almost fade from view with every shift for m the wind. With the moon being the only thing hindering her complete invisibility she attempted to stay beneath the cover of the canopy above. The speckled light of the moon annoyed her with out it she was sure she could have snatch one up quickly and invisibly."You gals appear to know where you are heading may I tag along for I am slightly lost within her for the dark has clouded my path," she uttered this falsity as if it were the honest truth. She could see just fine though the light was low most vampires could see perfectly in light such as this.

If they took the bait it was far more likely that he could have at least one the taller one seemed more of a meal she had a small moral issue of eating what looked like a child but if it cam e down to it a meal was better than no meal. Shady interactions hidden in the subtly of an agenda pouring with sanguine promise Noir moved forward with her plan. If there was any objection she would lift her hood and attempt to use her power to nullify such an inconvenience. A small chuckle was the only tell upon her person it shadowed a grim delight festering within her mind. Hamartia, a flaw in ones character hers was now the aching for the blood of man.

[cherry]

Midori turned around as she heard the vampire's voice echoing through the chilly night air. Her mouth slowly turned into a frown. It was no secret that she was a vampire. Being a maenad, she could sense it. She couldn't control her mind though. Vampires' minds are way to complex to even get into.

Midori looked at Hiitsu. Then back at the new vampire. "We can't trust her." Midori muttered to herself. "No we're fine." She spoke up as the vampire asked. "Believe me...the forest is easily navigated. I'm sure you will be able to find your way out on your own." Midori told her. She didn't want to deal with a vampire tonight.

Cherry jumped from branch to branch quickly on her red Vera Wang heels. Her trench coat flew behind her and she searched for Noir on the forest floor. She finally found two women. One looked really scared and lost, the other was...a maenad? Cherry was stunned. She had never seen a maenad in her life. Evil creatures. Then she saw Noir.

Cherry took a minute as she read Noir's mind. It was filled with blood thirst. "Dammit." Cherry whispered. She jumped down form the branch she rested on. She landed between the two women and Noir. "Hello Noirene." She smiled. Cherry smiled sarcastically, letting Noir know that she as really pissed off. She turned around to the two women. "Sorry, 'bout her...just trying to teach her." She smiled.

Cherry turned on her heel and gave Noir a glare. "We'll be going now." She sternly.

[Neko~San]

Wanting and longing scented the air. Hikitsu looked at the woman, Noir. She was a vampire, a strong one. Her intentions hung in the air like a mist that wouldnt leave. She could defend herself, but her own fear gave an unpleasant tang to the air. She moved next to Cherry to see the woman. It was strang really. She was never really very brave, especially since They said that she could trust no one. But she had been out in the world, and saw that there were good people here somewhere, one so different from Them.
" Don't do it. You will regret it for the rest of your life. My blood is not that of any true form, anything recognizable by anyone. I am everything and anything, all at once. Your strenght and waeknesses, all in the same form." She hoped the vampire understood her seemingly archaic speech, but that was how They had taught her to talk. Maybe They set it up so that she would never be able to live in a wold without Them.

[cherry]

Cherry looked at the girl. "Yes, let's leave Noir. Her blood isn't clean." She grabbed Noir by the shoulder and dragged her out of the forest against her violation.

Midori looked back at the girl and smiled. "Now let us get to that abandoned house...you look so tired. We need to get you to safety. The forest is so dangerous for a little girl like you."

[Neko~San]

Hikitsu nodded, going for the house. She could feel it now, speaking to her. It was a small house, and she liked it. It would be the perfect little house for her.
" Please, lead the way" She quietly said to Midori.
