Roses are Red, Violets are Blue

"AHHHHHHHHHHH!" Diana's screams echoed through the night, clutching You tightly as You both hurtled above the rooftops, Smiling wickedly, You twirled during Your rapid descent, landing in an elegant spin on a rooftop as Diana's heart thundered in her chest "H-Holy shit... That is..." curling Your lips mockingly, You spoke in a babying tone "What's the matter, did I melt the Drake family ice sculpture, maybe we should head down and catch a cab instead?" Diana scowled coldly, her grip on You tightening as She lay her head against Your chest "We should get to the mansion before the Sun comes up, right, wiseguy?" She sounded pretty confident, when You blasting away into the night however, her panicked cries rang true, though You could have sworn that she may have been enjoying herself at one point.

Diana spent the majority of walk through the City outskirts complaining about her hair being ruined by the high-speed travel, but You could see the little attempts at hiding her giddiness on her face "Good to know that I can still read Her a little, more than most people anyway." However, everything got a little more serious as the two of You walked down the Drake Manor driveway, the shadow of the ruined scar that was once Your home peeking at You both as You drew near, there were no words, every time that You saw it, the deep hatred in Your heart, burned hotter "I'm going to fix this." You proclaimed, Valerica's shit-eating smirk whirling around in Your head, "Fix it, like rebuild You mean?"

"I'm not just gonna rebuild, I'm going to thrive, build something better, stronger, Valerica is devastatingly powerful, it will take a solid plan to take her out, I hope that I can rely on You and Rose to help me with that." Your sister nodded, "This Rose woman... Is she, gonna attack again?" Just like Diana, You couldn't tell if she was afraid or just eliminating risks, You shrugged "If she does, then I guess that I'm gonna have to wait even longer while I regenerate more wounds." She didn't seem all that reassured, but she did shuffle a little closer to You none the less.

Things got even more intense as the two of You got the Cave's doors, the thought of being run through again weighing on Your mind as You punched in the code "Well, let's hope that she doesn't try to eat Her now that She knows Diana's my sister."

"Wait here for a second, I'll try and..." Before You could even finish Your sentence, the doors swiftly opened, a hideously fast shadowy mist bursting forth so quickly that even You could barely follow it, the gathering of dark smoke converging on Diana who stood in shock as it began to circle her, "Diana!" You called rushing to intervene, however, the Black gaseous form had already converged into a body, Rose's, She stood behind Diana, looming behind Her quietly.

SHE... WILL NOT HARM HER.

"I-I think You're right."

Rose's aura was not insidious like it was before, but soft and warm like a relaxing afternoon bath or something, "She's reassuring me?" Diana froze as she felt Rose's presence, the Red-haired Upir taking deep inward breath's of Your sister's scent "C-Charlie..." Diana said, her voice quiet with fear as Rose circled her, "Curious" Rose concluded, gesturing to a still shaken Diana "Follow." and just like that, Rose disappeared back into the Cave, Your sister was confused but a little relieved, just looking at You, unsure of how effective the look of "I knew that was gonna happen" was, You also gestured for Diana to follow, Making Your way into Your father's Cave.

Things were awkward, to say the least, Rose observing Diana with her studying eyes, Diana contemplating why this strange but beautiful red-haired vixen was sat so close to her brother, It was pleasant to have Rose nearby, however, just having this goddess next to You was enough to make You want to ravage her again.

"I am not well versed in interacting with Humans." Rose suddenly said, her eyes fixed on Diana like a cat watches a mouse, despite her nerves Diana was reasonably calm, carefully reaching over to offer Rose a hand, The Upir stared for a moment, though took it very gently shaking Your sister's hand civilly before tilting her head "You are siblings, yes?"

"That's right." Diana said, "And You share the same biological parents?" Diana frowned at that one "Yeah, of course?" Rose looked at You and then looked at Diana, folding her arms and shaking her head "Curious..."

"She smells the same to me, if not a little agitated." You said with a smile, leaving out the constant, although subtle smell of arousal under all that composure "Nevermind, we should talk about the task at hand. How much does she know?" You shifted a little nervously, realising that You may or may not have given Diana a free tap into a Royal Upir's business "Prety much everything," Rose sighed, lounging a little next to You as Diana sat even straighter "So what is Your plan exactly, Chip, I'm sure both I and Ms. Rose are aching to know."

Standing up, Rose shifting a little uncomfortably at Your new absence, You began to pace, gathering Your thoughts as the two of them looked at each other in confusion, You were so sure of this before, and yet all of the possibilities on how to proceed finally began to rush at You on a mental runway, so many options so many ways that You could go about this!

WE COULD TEAR HER IN HALF, BURN HER, OH NO NO NO, **** HER! YES SWEET ****!

"C-Chip?" Diana said, a little concerned at You incoherent mumbling, suddenly turning to the both of them and slamming Your hands on the coffee table, You exclaimed with a furious gusto "WE. ARE GOING. TO KILL. VALERICA!" Diana seemed a little taken aback, Rose simply rolled her eyes "And how exactly are we going to go about that, genius?" Shaking away the chaos from Your head like a wet dog, You smiled apologetically, pushing the beast back into his cage "Right sorry. Let's start with what we know, as much as I wish it weren't the case, We are no match for Valerica, I cannot hurt her directly, even if I could She is stronger then both Rose and Myself"

"Combined" Rose added, "But You're sisters right?" Diana asked Rose nodded through a frown, clearly not enjoying the thought "Then there must be some information that You have on hand that can help us here, The more we know the better, Wars are fought with Information after all." Diana said tactfully, Rose folded her arms "It has been a very long time since I spent any real time with Her, but I suppose we can begin with some important details."

"Go on..." You urged, seeing the Red Lady preparing to explain something very important, "In the High court things work differently than they do in the separate Vampire clans, it is a kind of... pyramid scheme with Our father: the Vampire King, on top." Diana quickly scrambled for the small purse she brought, pulling out a pen and pad to note with as You listened intently.

From what You understood it kinda worked like this: The High court is established in an isolated Castle," The memories of a dark Castle-fort flashed into Your mind, the one that You had seen while feeding on Rose "in court, there are 6 tiers that members of the Court devote themselves too, The First being the bottom servants, Lower Upir who have pledged their lives to the Old Upir nobility, above them are the Gatherers, Upir's that venture to the nearby Villages and towns to gather tribute to His Majesty from our thralls, above them are the King's subjects, powerful nobles, an old and incredibly pompous lot, I believe that some of them think that they are my Father's friends like My father would keep then around for any other reason than to quell his boredom..." Rose quickly added, "Above them are my Kin, The 12 Inquisitors, used to settle matters outside of court"

"Like Valerica?" You asked and Rose nodded "then Bellow us Royals are the Knights..." Diana raised an eyebrow, "If You are both Royals, then how are You part of other tiers?"

"Simply put, We got bored, Living in a Castle for Your entire undeath, having servants do Your hunting for You and fools cooing over You all day became maddening after the first three centuries." You and Diana looked at you, "HOW OLD IS SHE?" in her eyes as Rose continued "And so My Father allowed us to implement ourselves into another one of the tiers, I chose the Inquisitors and Valerica chose the Knights." Diana nodded in understanding, carefully noting Rose's words down "If my thoughts are correct, then if the Inquisitors handle things outside of the castle, then the Knights police within the castle?" Rose nodded "My father's knights are the ultimate killers, they are the instruments of The King's will, their strength is second only to My father himself." You lay Your head in Your hands "And Valerica is one of them!" Rose shook her head "Not just one of them, she was the Captain." Your heart sank "Dear God we're gonna die. again."

"The Four knights are powerful, yes, but not indestructible." Your head perked up at the semblance of hope that Rose proposed "They have a weakness'?" Diana inquired, "A few each individually, luckily we don't have to worry about fighting them together" Luckily was an understatement, One Valerica was bad enough! "...the Knights are unique in their nature, Valerica especially." Rose said, a smirk creeping on her face "Valerica is a Duellist, she is a natural at fighting one on one." You nodded "That makes sense, She seems to have a knack for separating us, it would explain why she ran away after You and the Gerix arrived in a group to stop her too."

"Divide and conquer, that's how she kills." Diana shot up from her seat "So if we have enough Vampire's on our side, then we may be able to destroy her!" Rose nodded in agreement "It will be no easy task, but if we have enough powerful individuals, then we may have a chance." A deep feeling began to fester in You, a moment of revelation "Then I have a lot of recruiting to do." You said, baring Your fangs, "Ladies, I think I have the beginnings of a plan coming on!"

You, Rose and Diana went over Your ideas, talking until Your sister's notebooks were half full and You had a radiant grin on Your face. Diana and Rose seemed to get along pretty well, spit-balling ideas with one another while You put down the groundwork, Rose even grinned a little when Diana made fun of You "Are these two getting along!?" You thought, watching the two of them talking over a point in the Plan, "So this is what happens when an unstoppable **** meets an Immovable Object? they get along quite well!"

An hour passed and You sat at the coffee table, Rose and Diana huddled in while You tapped the heavily used notebook, easily remembering each part with Your enhanced reading ability "Okay then, I think that this makes sense, but just so we all are on the same page, let's Summarize, they nodded as You prepared to Formulate this chaotic plan into something verbally tangible, Your sister and Rose at Your site, "this is gonna be fun."
