Why have Pain when You can Have Pleasure?
Burn Motherfucker Pt-1
Your eyes scoured the Red room, Rose's old suite, pushing away Your wet hair, You were thankful to have showered all that blood off of Your body, unfortunately, Your clothes were kind of ruined, even so, You walked through Rose's suite, smiling fondly at the memories of the Cold and Mysterious woman that You had known before, replaced with a Woman still cold, but loving too.
Corvus' Office was not one You had any fond memories of, it was a place of manipulation for You, a Liar's den, still stained with the blood of the Weasel that once owned it, You shuffled through some of his belongings, looking for something to wear that wasn't just Your boxers, as much as the ladies would probably enjoy that, You eventually managed to find some jeans that fit, buttoning up a fine Black shirt that You found and tying up an old but well cared for pair of loafers "Degenerate or no, The man certainly knew how to dress" You thought, pausing as a glint caught Your eye, attracted to a Shiny black case, You heard the Beast whisper.
Take it, it may be useful.
Taking the intricately crafted case into Your hands, You carefully opened it and looked wide-eyed at the item within, The Pendant was beautiful beyond measure, A golden chain with spiralling hooks, Diagonal clans Engrave with Black text latched onto a strange Onyx stone, the obsidian like surface had cracks of gold all around it, like furtively glowing veins.
Keep this close, it is Yours now.
Removing the Pendant from the box, You carefully put it on, attaching it to Your neck and watching the Dark gold gem glow slightly beneath the top button of Your black shirt. You searched through a few more things, finding very little of Value, just as You asked all Blood had been removed from cold storage, You turned, hearing Huginn enter with a smile "Everyone is gathered outside, as well as everything that we need, Dawn will be here in three hours, Master, if You're going to do what I think You are, then I hope that You have a plan." He said, sounding a little concerned at the end there, You smiled
"Of course I have a plan, How about I tell You what it is along with the others."
Striding out of the reception and into the night, The Large group of Gerix were gathered there, Muninn and Diana were talking
"Oh yeah, they haven't really met have they?" You thought, Huginn paused, his eyes locking on Diana as his Jaw swiftly hit the ground "Who is that sexy piece of finger-licking chicken!?" He said, love hearts in his eyes
"That is my sister Diana." You said, glaring,
"Oh... Ummm, sorry." He said grinning nervously, Fleeing from Your splitting glare while pinching his hands and crying "Woop Woop Woop Woop Woop."
You raised an eyebrow "That man is a nutcase." You said, jolting as a soft hand touched Your arm, Rose wrapped her arm around Your bicep
"She is in the Hands of the Human doctors, St. Regalia Hospital." She said in her cold tone, smiling You stared up at the looming Hotel Mortemus, towering and dark
"You remember that Rune You told me about at the Fair?" You asked Rose, smirking a little as You whispered a request into her ear. She vanished, speeding through the hotel to complete the task that You had given her.
Turning to everyone, they all stared at You, the ones You knew, the ones You didn't, the injured ones (being held up by others), and the strong-looking ones, all had different looks on their faces. but all had their eyes on You "Wow... pressure much?" You thought, stepping forward You addressed them in a loud confident tone.
"Hello, Now... I know some of You personally, some I will have to get to know soon, but, You all know me, You know why I did what I just did, but You may not know why I am doing what I am about to do..." They mumbled among themselves but shushed as You carried on "I know that many of You have probably lived in this place for centuries, longer even, festering in this Giant Coffin, hiding in stagnation, whether You enjoyed doing so or not is irrelevant at this moment, what is relevant is that This place does not Belong to You..." The crowd looked at one another, slightly confused, You pointed up at the dark building "...This place was never Your home because You were never treated as a Family, This was Corvus' Home, Urantus before him, in this place they rattled Your chains, barking orders, conscripting You into glorified slaves..." Some seemed to whisper at Your words now, Diana smiled, Muninn too "...A Clan is not an Empire, it is not a kingdom, it is a Family, and I swear to You this night, from now until the days of my ****, that You will be treated as such: with respect."
That really got them talking, they seemed uncertain, but of course, they did, these people had probably been servants for most of their undeath, freedom was unlikely to be a staple among them "Respect?" You heard a familiar voice call, Cleo stepped forward, cold rage in her eyes "What of those You have murdered, what of our brothers, sisters and... and lovers that You have destroyed in subjugating our clan, is that how You plan to respect us?" Cleo scowled, You could feel tensions rise, they were skeptical and they had every right to be.
"You're right Cleo, I have culled this clan, killed two of its leaders, I killed Your lover, something that I will make up for every day if I must, but I ask You Cleo, no... I ask all of You, who were the men that gave You the order to fight?" You said, raising an eyebrow, the crowd was silent "Who did You depend on to guide You, lead You, only for them to use You like pawns, let's get one thing straight it definitely wasn't me." They looked at One another, looking at You with hopeful eyes, You felt Rose's hand on Your arm again,
"It is done, give the word and it's rubble." She whispered, clutching You tightly.
"I am giving us all a fresh start, a fresh Clan, a clan with Ideals," they liked that, some were smiling now "a Clan with drive and purpose, I will not **** You to sit and gather dust!" A few spoke quiet words of agreement "I am giving You the strength to become more, to reach out to this city, to reach out to our territory and claim it as our own!" One or two cried out in approval at that "I will protect those who need protecting," the cry became shouts "feed those who need feeding" Shouts became Screams of Joy "I will be Your friend and Your leader, but only for as long as You are loyal to our Brotherhood, devoted to our Covenant!" The Vampire's Cheered with delight as Your eyes burned with passion "Tonight, this building will crumble, it's legacy will crumble, it's Memory will crumble!" You cried as they Cheered you on, "If You are with Me, if You would walk with me in the shadows, Roar with me and together we will Rule Wallace!"
Claws flew into the air, teeth bore, face's twisting as An earth-shattering Roar of Vampires echoed in the night, The Crowd of undead beaming in support of Your leadership "Now." You said to Rose, with a smile, She nodded, drawing blood from her wrist and painting a symbol on her palm, turning to the Hotel's shadowed body, You watched as She swept her hand up in the air and closed her hand into a fist, her eyes flashing with fury as she whispered: "Dragon's Breath: Azure Inferno."
In a Sudden and gigantic slash of light, You watched in awe as the windows of the building shone with an Azure glow, pressure building instantly, until the Glass cracked, Shattering as hungry Blue Flame burst forth in a hideous inferno, a rush of heat and **** hit You like a wave, making everybody stagger as the flames consumed the entire body of the Hotel, spiraling and blackening everything that it touched, the Blue Inferno twisted like a Tornado, Hissing and booming in a deafening explosion... You grinned.
BURN MOTHER-FUCKER, BURN MOTHER-FUCKER BURN HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
The Beast screamed with delight as You Roared with Your new Undead Brothers and sisters, relishing as the entire complex collapsed and melted, kicking a mountain of dust and dirt into the air, the Mortemus Hotel slumping into a flaming pile of nothing, as Rose reached out again, whispering under her breath "Cease."
Turning back to Your new Followers, they immediately silenced as You gestured, falling to their knees in reverence of You as You commanded: "You will go Now, Go into the City, feed Yourselves, act in the shadows and Drain the deserving of their Blood, Stay in the shadows and I will summon You again when the time is right." They stood, looking at one another with confusion, Muninn stepped forward
"You heard Your Master, Kill only the deserving, What are You waiting for, MOVE!" as she roared, Your followers bowed, disappearing off into the dark woods in the blink of an eye.
Rose, Diana, Huginn, Muninn... and Cleo remained, all looking expectantly at You, chuckling and scratching Your head, You let out a non-existent breath "Welp... that went better than I expected it too." You said, shaking Your head in disbelief of that having actually worked out, but the night still had a little while until it ended, You had faith that there would be more trouble before daylight came.
Having traveled across the city, You carrying Diana and the Twins watching in Awe as Yours and Rose's speed "Slow down, You two are like a pair of fucking Bullets!" Huginn begged childishly, making You grin and Diana hold her arms up like she was on a roller coaster.
Eventually, You got back home, walking through the drive, carefully walking around the Crater that the lightning strike created "Is that...?" Muninn inquired to Diana quietly, Diana nodded, whispering to Muninn as they walked side by side, "Those two are getting along awfully well..." You thought, eyes thinning as They quickly went quiet, noticing your gaze, Muninn smiling and looking away like an embarrassed school girl "Too well."
Punching in the code, You and Rose entered first, she was calm, holding You close as You descended into the dark Cave... but that changed very quickly, Rose suddenly tensed up, whipping around and slamming the doors shut, locking out everyone accept for Diana
"What are You-?" Diana inquired but was cut off when Rose grabbed her hand and shoved her to the side, She kept her pushed against the wall, looking at her with Glowing red eyes
"Do. not. move." She commanded, Diana looked to You... But You had felt it too, smelt it, someone was in here... someone very, very powerful.
You were ready to fight immediately, this Aura of Blood-lust was enough to put anyone on edge, But Rose shook her head at You "Don't if You threaten her, then she will kill You." She warned with a genuine look of caution about her, You relaxed a little, a confused look on Your face.
Rose flicked on the lights and You saw them. Boris was sat in the corner, worry consuming his face, He was tensed up, his large form frozen in place, eyes staring at the Woman who sat in the center of the room.
Sitting in one of Your chairs, was an extremely beautiful and tremendously well dressed Young woman, She looked about Your age if not a tad younger, She Had finely cared for Jet black hair that waved and curled like a sea of night relaxed on her shoulders, she had light coffee-coloured skin that was flawless on all counts, Her nose was straight but cute, lips red as Rubies and round, Black eyes that You could see Yourself mirrored in, Her expression was cold, blank and unfeeling, so much so that You got a little chill when You looked at her.
She slowly stood from the chair, showing You in full her Ash grey checkered three-piece suit that was flawless and obviously tailored, She clutched a very large Black wide-brimmed hat with a soft white feather lodged into it, Her lips arched into a smile as You stepped closer, Rose keeping You just behind her
"H'issvar Menaar Dragule..." She spoke in a low tone, in a strange hissing language that... You weren't sure You understood, She extended her hand to Rose, staring with her eerie smile. She wore a ring, it's Violet Jewel glinting in the light, it's face shining with red cracks like veins, Rose knelt, taking the woman's hand and kissing her ring before speak in the same strange Language.
"Ferass Minnigus Malagushta." The woman smiled wider at Rose, nodding before turning Her eyes to You, her stare was like having needles driven into Your chest like she had x-ray vision, her Black orbs as deep and empty as space
"Hello." She said in a soft British accent, She extended You the same hand, smiling as You looked at her confused, but quickly knelt as Rose nudged You, taking her hand, the woman smiled even deeper as you kissed her ring, the corner of Your lips touching her skin, that was so cold that it burned
"Upir..." You muttered involuntarily, Her face relaxed a little, her eyes closing as she did a single slow nod.
"Correct. My Name is Lady Willow Malandra" She said, looking at You expectantly, You had to keep reminding Yourself not to get lost in her eyes
"C-Charlie Drake." You said, She stepped closer to You and Rose flinched like she was worried
"Do not Fear, H'issvar, He will come to no harm." She assured, Rose, relaxed slightly, but You got very confused as she got in really, really close, She was... really pretty, like crazy beautiful
"God are all Upir so Sexy?" You thought, Lady Malandra flushed, giggling girlishly as if she could hear what You were thinking "How interesting..." She muttered, lips less than an inch from Yours "So Young, but so Powerful, Her Majesty was correct in her observations of You." She said.
You thought that she was talking about Rose for a moment... but then, You knew that she wasn't You didn't know how You just knew it.
"Observations?" You asked, not quite liking the thought of being watched everywhere that You go by a bunch of Vampires, like some kind of Ancient blood addicted Big Brother.
"Oh yes, Her Majesty has been keeping a close eye on You, Princess Valerica has not turned anyone since time lost to our memory, Your Battles against both Gerix leaders have also been a large point of discussion in court." You could feel her breath, you could smell iron, She couldn't have fed that long ago.
"I must say, Mr. Drake, I was impressed with Your battle at the Hotel, Not many so Young, Superior or not, could face that many and survive, it is because of feats such as this that his Majesty sent me." She said, Rose frowned.
"Why are You here, He said that He would leave this task to me." She said coldly, Malandra grinned
"Uh uh, we will get to that in a moment, first-" Malandra moved, so fast that You didn't even have time to react, slashing neatly up the first two buttons of Your shirt and clutching the pendant in her hand, staying still, mostly out of fear, You had never seen any Undead move that fast "She... must be even stronger than Rose, I couldn't even see her move," You thought as Malandra smiled, "Do You know what this is, Mr Drake?" Malandra asked curiously, You shook You head.
"This is a Lord's stone, Every Clan leader who has been Lorded by High court is gifted one, this one, in particular, belongs to Lord Urantus." As you looked at her speaking, she suddenly had a Vial in her hand, very small and bright gold, She smiled, pouring what You immediately knew was blood on to the beautiful gemstone.
The Gem absorbed the red liquid like a sponge, it's dull glowing cracks widening and shining brighter "Charles Artorias Drake, I, Lady Malandra; Third of the Black Knights, Hand of the Queen and Arbiter of the Undead, Name You Eighth Clan Lord by right of Subjugation, I hereby; under the decree of Her Majesty, Bequeath the Name of Noxium, To Your Clan and Clansmen, So I have spoken." After her little speech, Lady Malandra Stepped back from You and turned to Rose "H'vaatiss, Gerith i'tr" She spoke in that strange language again, accompanied by the fading of her smile.
"His Desire's shall be fulfilled." Rose said coldly, looking over to You for a moment "Lord Nox would like to volunteer to assist in My task, Milady." She said nudging You, Picking up that she was talking about Valerica You quickly nodded.
"Yep, that's right, I would like to-I would be honoured, a-and most esteemed to assist her ladyship." You said, still feeling the pull of fear that Malandra's gaze granted, Rose rolled her eyes.
"Very well, I will grant this request." Lady Malandra said, staring at Rose again "Be warned You Majesty, King Alucard will not tolerate failure, You should complete Your task quickly and return, Your time is almost up." She smiled again, giving a very gracious bow, before flicking her wrist, You heard Boris gasp from the corner, watching as he came out of his hypnotic state.
You nearly jolted as Malandra appeared next to You, her mouth only a few centimeters from Your ear "Be Careful Who You associate with Milord, His Majesty dislike his Ilk." She whispered, She took in a breath before giggling and kissing Your cheek, her lips burning like dry ice "You owe me, your Majesty, If Your father were to hear of Your interactions with a Superior, He would most certainly call You home." She hissed, Looking at Rose.
"Then I appreciate Your secrecy on the Issue." Rose quickly said, making Lady Malandra let out a Soft giggle.
"Farewell, Lord Nox, Inquisitor Dracule." and with that, she vanished, like into thin air, the only sign of her having been there being the doors to the Cave opened widely, You could see Huginn poke his head in "What the fuck was that!?" He said, very clearly confused, but not nearly as confused as You, Alucard? Dracule, Rose certainly had some things to explain to You.
