Blood and Petals

As the trembling hunger grew within you, You at first just stumbled around the building a little, falling and slipping at unimaginable speeds up and down the Hotel's stairway.

In spite of having a mild mental and physical breakdown, You couldn't help but notice an orgy of Red eyes staring on as You shook and twisted and growled, for people who wanted You on there side, they didn't seem to want to give back much at all.

This had to stop, this absolute lack of control, wriggling about like a spasticated Caterpillar didn't exactly fit Your aesthetic of the vampire lifestyle and so, You went to the only person who had actually offered any kind of verbal wisdom.

The slog towards Rose's crimson door was hard enough without the groups of Vampires just watching you, even so, You got there. "Just a few, gentle knocks, extremely careful, soft, gentle knocks." these were Your thoughts, of course, thoughts interrupted by Your fist flying through the maroon colored hardwood. Okay... that didn't go to plan, maybe just a few a quiet words to let her know that-

*YEWWWEEEERRRRRRRGHHHHGHCHDHDHDJJSHSHSJAGSAUC!!!" alright then, ear-piercing, inhuman screech, that works too.

Before long, blue eyes stared quizzically at you from the other side of the now opened wounded doorway, she seemed slightly miffed, no idea why though. "Seriously?" is all she said, looking into Your twitching eyes and sighing before grabbing your waistcoat and dragging you into her room, the others watching from outside tried to peek in, but one quick look from the Fiery haired young woman (well she probably wasn't very young at all but oh well) they all fucked off in a jiffy.

"Sit." that's what she said, yep... she was speaking, she was also wearing a short skirt with black leggings that left oh so little to the imagination, and the way that You were, listening was difficult enough right now, "Oh for fuck's sake." Rose rolled her eyes and pushed You back, watching You stumble and fall onto the soft mattress of her bed, "W-W-Wh..."

"Have You eaten?" She had her hair up, and that turtleneck, was she even trying to hide what it all looked like, You just wanted to grab her and take her and just... You probably should have just stayed with Cleo "Hello?" You managed to shake Your head, words weren't your strong suit right about now "Okay."

Rosaria moved quickly over to the corner of the room, She grabbed something, something.... delicious smelling, "Here." it was a black flask, covered in strange markings, but its contents didn't confuse You at all...

You sank the entire thing into Your mouth, drinking deep of the crimson ichor within.

A couple of moments of recollection later and You were fit as a fiddle, sat in Rose's little sitting area, while she did her usual thing, staring at You silently. "That stuff is different than what Corvus gave me earlier?" You were still a little raw, the curves on the parts where her hips met the thigh, the smooth shape of her legs and the pale azure fire of her eyes, she even smelt good, like rose petals "Those cheapskates, they probably gave You the shitty stuff, dead blood is bad enough as it is."

"You realize that You're just creating more fucking questions." You snapped at her, "I'm sorry, I didn't realize I had encyclopedia stamped on my head?" she snapped back, She sighed as You smiled a little it was weird how she was both scary and humorous at the same time, also she seemed to sigh a lot for someone who didn't actually breathe "The Gerix aren't known for their quality, they would rather store blood that has gone bad then hunt actively, the stuff I just gave You is AB- high quality and freshly extracted."

It tasted good, really good, like a lamb roast or something, meaty, bloody, full of iron "Even so, I went to the Library, You were right knowledge is power, right?"

"Power is power, being informed is simply imperative for our survival, one step of many. and You're a Superior who doesn't know how to hunt, come on I suppose that someone aught to teach You how to do it." She took back her pouch and gestured for You to follow, "Hunt, what, right now?"

She zipped around the room at blinding speed, appearing with a large black coat, a black cap, and some sunglasses "What's this for?" You asked looking it over, it was a long overcoat, black as a night, looked like the collar had been extended "People think you're dead, we should keep it that way."

You slipped on the coat, put on the hat and slipped on the glasses "Where are we gonna go?"

"Into the city." She said staring at the hole in her door "Am I gonna have to... kill anyone?" Without another word she left, leaving You to catch up as she sped through the hallways.
