Event Board Page 1-? Friday, July 13 Nykita commits suicide, and is found by the Blackwood Brothers. Of the seven, who will be the one to take on this new recruit? |
name; Nykita Hotchner Marchlands (Hotchner is her mother's maiden name and Marchlands is her 'father's' name)
nickname (if any); Nyki (used by her 'father' and she doesn't like it) Kita (used by her grandmother mostly) age; 16 appearance; http://i33.tinypic.com/14tui5k.jpg http://animeacademy.files.wordpress..../12/luluko.jpg (we can change the outfit later. For now just assume that it's a school uniform) talent(s) 1. is good at keeping quiet and unnoticed when needed 2. has an eidetic (photographic) memory Weaknesses 1. not very physically capable (quite weak) 2. freezes when she sees or hears the sound of fire Personality traits; - loyal - strong willed (when not opposing her 'father') personality faults; - very distrustful of others - extremely skittish around strangers and people she does not like or trust Bio: Nykita was raised by her 'parents' and is an only child. She suffered extreme abuse at the hands of her father and her mother was either unwilling or unable to help her through it. When she was fourteen she moved away from her family and stayed with her grandmother for as long as possible, until she turned sixteen and her grandmother died. Now that her 'parents' want her back she doesn't know what she'l do. They think they can buy her with gifts but they're wrong, he's wrong. Here is where it begins... Nykita stared ahead at the road as it stretched out before her. Her fingers were holding on to the steering wheel of the new, shiny, red car that her 'father' had sent her as a 'coming home present'. Her fingers tightened on teh wheel and she gritted her teeth. Her eyes narrowed and she glared ahead at the road as it zuipped by under the brand new tires. So he thought that he could just take her back did he? Well she'd show him. He had another thing coming if he thought she would go back and everything would be like it was before. Her grandmother, Emily Hotchner, had taken her in when she'd run away at the age of forteen. She'd been happy living with her grandmother. They'd spent a lot of time together and, for a while, she'd fergotten about what her life had been like before. Now her grandmother was dead and she had no where else to go, no other family to turn to. She turned from her thoughts and refocused on the road. She could feel the car going faster and faster but made no move to slow it down. If she went back then it would be like before. She would be helpless, nothing more than something to be used and discarded whenever her 'father' felt like it. No, she couldn't go back to taht. She knew that if she went back then she would break and there would be no putting her back together this time. The care moved faster and faster and she carefully pressed her foot down on the gas peddle, willing the car to go faster. There was a turn coming up, she knew it but she didn't slow down to take it. "I win," she hissed as the car approached the bend and she braced herself for impact as the car hurtled towards the crash barriers. |
Name; Nowfaleena
Nickname; 'Lee' by most, 'Baby' by her eldest brother David, 'Little Sister' by her other brothers Age; 19 when turned Appearance; http://i169.photobucket.com/albums/u...Girls/sade.jpg Talents 1. Good with Animals 2. Fantastic at drawing, painting and the like. Weaknesses 1. The 'baby' of the family, and thus very limited privileges 2. Not as strong as her brothers, being the youngest Personality Traits; Independent, tough, confident, Personality Flaws; Temperamental, cruel at times, hostile Bio: Lee cannot remember her life as a human, it has been far to long to do so. All she knows is she hung herself in a barn before her brother David found and turned her. She is the youngest of the Blackwood Clan, the weakest of the group yet still powerful, and her brothers tend to treat her differently, which enrages her to no end. All of her brothers have 'feeders', but not her. She is eager for a feeder, but mostly for someone that she can boss around for a change. --- Five motorcycles roared like the heads of a hydra, splitting the silence of the hot night air apart with great malice. The whooping riders were all blood-stained smiles and excited from their... night out. All of them but one, a clean as a whistle Lee was still angry with her brothers, having been snubbed the chance of going after their prey alone because 'it was too dangerous' for her. "Awe c'mon Little Sister, cheer up!" one called from her left, her brother Caleb had been trying to make her forgive them for the past hour and a half. "We said we were sorry, and we promise you can take it the next go!" Their accents were varying, Caleb sounded Irish. "Oh and I suppose the next go is going to be a child, or a scrawny teenage girl?!" Lee demanded. "Something less threatening and less satisfying than a full grown man?" "Be reasonable, the only reason you get the little ones is because we know you can handle them!" Caleb replied. "So you think I can't handle anything better!?" Lee snapped. Caleb finally decided to quiet down, their argument was going nowhere. "Whoa, smoking metal, 11 O'clock!" Kapeni called to the group, his long black dreadlocks whipping behind him like snakes. They killed the lights on their bikes and slowed down, coming to a stop by the totaled car on the side of the road. Lee was the first off her bike and ripping off the door. Her brothers got close but she hissed to them, pupils narrowed to slits like a cat, and her formerly black eyes now vivid green, glaring back at them. With no David or Shasta there, the four brothers raised their palms in submissive and stayed back. "We did say she could have a go this time." Shinji whispered, his twin brother Aito nodded in agreement. Lee looked down at the bloody corpse of a human girl, no older than 16. She could hear the heart still beating, but not very much, as the body was slowly dying. She pulled the body from the car and laid it down, licking her lips. She lowered her fangs and sank them into the jugular vein, and began to feed. her brothers waited, expecting her to keep drinking until she was fed, but when she stopped after nearly draining the body, and rolled back her sleeves, they realized what she was doing. "Lee stop! David didn't give you the go-ahead!" Kapeni insisted. She ignored him, and used a fang to cut her wrist, moving the wound to the girls mouth and allowing the magic fluid to pour down her throat. The girl would feel her heart begin to beat, and she would thirst for enough blood to fill her drained veins. It would not turn her yet, only heal her and connect her to lee in servitude. They would take her home, and she would rest the day away beneath the earth, and become a fledgling the next night. |
It had all happened so fast. If only her death had been so simple. She had hoped that it would be instant, quick and clean but life was rare that simple. After the car had crashed she had still been alive, seriously injured but alive, and she cursed herself for not being able to finish the job properly. She was trapped in her own mind, her conciousness having gone there to escape the pain in her body. Everything ached and she couldn't move but she didnt' are. It was slower than she'd intended but she was dying.
Noises pierced through her ears but she didn't register them, forced herself not to register them. She didn't want to know what was going on. She could hear voices but couldn't make out what they were saying or even what gender they were. She didn't care. She knew that there was no way she could be saved, not after what she'd done to herself and internally smiled. She felt herself being pulled from the car. Had they actually managed to pry the door open? It was then, when she was on the ground, that hse felt something pierce her skin. What the...she could feel her blood being drained from her body, not from the numerous wounds, but from the place where something had pierced her. What the hell was going on? She heard mroe voices, more talking, and felt something being pressed to her mouth. It was half open and something hot, wet and sticky trickled inside. Automatically she began to swollow, not knowing exactly what it was but knowing that hse needed more of it. Her mouth wrapped around whatever it was that was supplying the strange, entoxicating substance. |
"That's enough you." Lee insisted, taking her wrist back, the blood made it heal quickly. She picked the girl up and brought her over to her bike where she mounted it and propped the semi-conscious girl against her front. "Oh David is gonna be so pissed." Caleb moaned. "At least tell us we get to play with her at home!" Aito asked. "Fat chance, this one is all mine. I might consider sharing when you lot stop treating me like a fledgling." "Taking care of a fledgling is not going to make you any less of one." Caleb insisted. Lee glared and was about to snap at him, but Kapeni spoke. "No, but it should give her some experience." was his take on the situation. "We better get back, sun will be up soon." The group roared away on their bikes, arriving at a run-down looking house just off the highway. The silhouette of a town could be seen just on the horizon. They parked their bikes in the shed, and Lee carried the girl into the house and strait to the room under the stairs where she laid her down on soft earth. She was quick to dig a 6 foot grave before laying the girl in it and burying her. She would not need to breath, and when she awoke the next night, she would be undead. Everyone else came into the room to sleep, and Lee laid proudly next to the upturned soil grave to await her new 'baby'. |
Nykita tried vainly to keep a hold of the thing supplying the strange liquid but she was too weak and so let it et away. She wasn't very strong at the best of times but in this state she was almost doll like and she knew it. She was picked up by someone and moved but, surprisingly, it didn't hurt as much as she thought it would. She was expecting it to ache because of all the broken bones and bruised skin that he knew she had but it didn't. How strange...
She heard the roar of an engine but couldn't tell exactly what it was and, suddenly, felt a wing blowing through her hair. It was soothing and she could feel that she was propped up against something, or someone, but she couldn't tell and she didn't have the strength to turn her head or even open her eyes. Soon the sound of an engine stopped and she was carried somewhere else and set down somewhere cold. She vaguely heard the sounds of digging and soon she felt herself being shifted again. It was strange. She felt something being piled on top of her and knew that she should be panicking but she did not. Soon all around her was complete darkness, nothing moved or stirred or, if it did, she could not hear it. She allowed herself to sink deep into the darkness and lost complete conciousness. The next thing Nykita knew she was stirring. She didn't know what exactly but something felt...different. She tried to move but a heavy weight was pressing down on her and, even as she tried to open her eyes, there was nothing but darkness. Where was she? Her mind was a blank and she couldn't remember anything. She began to panic, her mind trying, and failing, to process information. She began to push upwards and discovered that what was on top of her was actually soil. Was she underground? How had this happened? Had someone burried her alive? All these questions ran through her mind, even as she claws her way upwards. It seemed to take and age and, just as Nykita thought she was never going to get out, a pinprick of light shone into her face and she gave one last push. She came out, gasping for air and slumped forwards, closing her eyes and panting with relief. |
Lee laid next to the disturbed soil, and watched as her fledgling crawled out from the grave. She smiled, fanged teeth glinted in the dim light. "Have sweet dreams?" she asked. "Or were they hot and sticky? Those are my favourites." she chuckled at her own joke and reached a hand forward to pick a twig and clump of dirt from the girls hair. "What is your name sweetheart?" "It's your turn to clean up the dog-shit, now get it done!" a mans voice yelled from the floorboards above. "I'll get to it in a minute!" someone snapped back. "Don't fucking yell at me!" "Watch your mouth or I'll cut out your tongue and shove it somewhere painful!" another voice snapped. Lee sighed and rolled her eyes... the background noise made this meeting- not quite the classy introduction she had hoped for. |
Nykita pushed herself up slightly and stared at the one that had spoken. It was a female who appeared to be a couple years older than her with dark eyes and light hair. It was then that she noticed the glint of teeth and her eyes immediately focused on the fangs. She scrambled backwards on instinct, limbs flailing clumsily as she tried to back away. Her wide eyes were like a deer caught in the headlights.
A mixture of other voices drifted down from somewhere above and her scrambling became more frantic. Where was she? How did she get here? Her mind was fuzzy, an unusual experience for her as she had an eidetic memory and she was usually able to recall anything relatively easily. She glanced at the hole that she had crawled out from. Had she been burried alive? But she'd been almost catagonic! She knew that! And where had her injuries gone? She knew that she shouldn't be moving, let alone be anywhere near concious. She looked down at herself and helped as she noticed the torn and bloddied clothing she was still wearing that barely covered her pale, thin body and she immediatley pulled her knees up to herchest and crossed her arms, trying to cover herself as much as possible. |
Lee couldn't help but giggle at this girls reaction. "You're so skittish, it's cute!" she said. She was... less than intimidating when she smiled and laughed. Aside from the lack of pigment and the fangs, she looked no different than an ordinary girl when she grinned. "So what's your name sweetheart?" "OW, what the hell?! Shasta! Aito and Shinji just splintered me!" a mans voice suddenly yelled. "Did not!" two voices followed in unison. "Would you three grow the shit up? Frick it's been almost 40 years, stop acting like children!" this voice was deeper and older and carried authority it seemed. Annoyed, Lee slammed her knuckles with great power against the wood above. "Would you quiet down, I'm trying to do something down here!" she called. The voices above fell quiet and she looked to Nykita, a sweet smile again. |
Nykita huddled into a tighter ball, her eyes flicking from the girl - or whatever she was - to the ceiling where the other voices had come from. Her muscles were tense. Should she answer? She internally weighed her options and finally decided that the best option would be to answer the other's question.
!My name," her voice was slightly raspy and hoarse. She raised a hand to her mouth and coughed before trying again. "My name is Nykita Hotchner Marchlands." She resisted the urge to spit the last word and barely succeeded. Her eyes were now fully locked on the female in front of her since the noises from above had lessened. |
"Not anymore... you're Nykita Blackwood now. My girl." Lee replied with a broad grin. "We're gonna have a lot of fun you and me, you'll see. I'll show you the ropes and teach you to be tougher than the boys!" She outstretched a hand and gave a smile that was so warm. "C'mon, we've gotta go see David. He's the boss around here, but he's a nice guy and he takes care of us. He's eager to meet you y'know." |
Nykita hesitated as she stared at the outstretched hand. Should she take it? But really...what choice did she have in this situation? She carefully wrapped her mind around the other's words, assessing them and trying to figure out if the other was lying or not. She didn't think so.
"Alright," she said, half mumbling, as she stretched out her hand and grasped the other female's pale, outstretched hand. She noticed that her own skin was equally as pale, paler than usual. That didn't bother her though. She had never had the darkest skin and she had alays been told by pretty much everyone taht she needed to go out in the sun more. She shifted self conciously, glancing down at the tattered remains of her once clean adn pristine school uniform that now barely covered her. |
The girl led her out of the room with the dirt floor out through a door that led into the house. The house was very old, from settlement days it seemed, and though it was well-kept it clearly wasn't very modern. There were still candles being used for the main source of light. In the living room, a pair of Japanese twin boys were fighting over some kind of book. An Irish boy with curly brown hair and freckles lounged on the couch, and a tall black man with dreadlocks pulled back into a ponytail, sat reading a book in a recliner, legs crossed elegantly. A Cree fellow with long dark hair was standing at the window, looking out into the night. They all looked so normal, if not a bit pale. "Just ignore them, come this way." Lee said to Nykita, leading her up the stairs to the second floor. The hallway was so narrow, and a dumbwaiter could be seen in the wall of the corridor... an empty bottle sat inside, the insides somehow licked clean despite the narrow neck. "Lee... bring our new sister to me." a dark voice said from the room at the very end of the hall. |
As they exited the room with the dirt floor Nykita looked around the old building. She unconciously shied away from the walls whenever she saw a candle and moved a little closer to the other female. She had an almost irrational fear of fire. Well it wasn't exactly irrational in her eyes but the fact remained that she hated it.
As they passed the livingroom Nykita glanced in and got a good look at the other inhabitants of the house. They all seemed normal enough to her eyes, just a little pale but that wasn't very noticable. As they passed the dumbwaiter her eyes fixed on the bottle and she wondered exactly what had been inside. As the new male voice entered her ears Nykita moved a lot closer to the other, her muscles tensing as she resisted the urge to bolt back down the stairs and away from this place. Images of her father entered her mind and she veciously shoved them away, wishing that her memory wasn't as clear. |
Lee dragged Nykita into the room, where reading by candlelight was a man with pale skin and long beautiful white hair. He set his book down and stood, turning around... He looked a lot like Lee actually, and he was strikingly handsome despite his red eyes. "Mmm, she is very beautiful..." he said. "What is her name?" "Nykita." Lee replied. "Ah... another oriental... I'm sure Aito and Shinji will be happy to have her around." he replied. His use of the term wasn't viciously racist, but perhaps just old- as if he were from another generation. "Come to me, Nykita." Lee gently pushed Nykita towards the man. |
As they entered the room Nykita's first instinct was to move as far away from the candle and the male as it was possible to get. Her eyes moved from the flickering flame to the silver haired man and she felt her breath catch in her throat. As she was pushed forward slightly she barely managed to avoid stumbling. She righted herself, barely, and stood up straight.
She walked as calmly as she could towards him, going through the little conversation in her head. She wondered at his use of the term "Oriental" but didn't question it out loud, for the moment anyway. She had a curious mind and she knew that, eventually, she would begin to ask questions. Right now she couldn't. Her mind was too busy trying to process the new information and a lot of her concentration was focused on not running. |
The man looked her over, as if judging a piece of meat. "You better take good care of her... I'd hate to kill her, but I won't hesitate if she goes rogue." he said to Lee. "Yes I know." Lee replied. "Take her to Dukes pub tonight, teach her how to feed." he ordered. "Find her some of your clothing as well, you'll have to share until we get her some of her own." "Of course." Lee replied. The man pushed Nykita away, back towards Lee, and lee stretched out her hand again, wearing that sweet smile. |
Nykita gritted her teeth as they talked about her as if she wasn't in the room. She felt like some sort of offering. She resisted the urge to flinc back at the mtnion of killing her but forced herself not to show weakness. For some reason she instinctively knew that that was not a good idea. She couldn't show weakness to this man.
As she was pushed back towards the other female she immediately grasped the outstretched hand. Somehow, Nykita wasn't sure exactly when or why, Lee had become her safeguard, the place that she turned to when she was unsure or scared in this house. She didn't understand the reaction and she didn't want to. And one thing kept going through her mind. What did he mean "teach her how to feed"? |
Just across the hall on the left hand side was, what had to be, Lee's bedroom. Everything was green and gold, everything that wasn't part of the room itself anyway. There was a fine rug over the wooden floorboards, with Celtic knots and the image of cats as the design. The bed was a bunk bed, the top bunk was a twin size but the bottom stretched into a double, and tucked into the mattress on the top bunk was a blanket that fell down over the bottom bunk, creating a curtain. The closet had no doors, and instead another sheet made a curtain over it, inside her clothes hung neatly, a few pairs of shoes lined up, and the shelf on top was packed with boxes of stuff. There was a desk against the west wall where several art supplies were set up, a few drawings even still laid out on the desk, all made with Indian ink. Finally, a dog bed under the window. A beautiful black and white border-collie lay in the bed, snoring as she slept. "This is Suzette, she's my baby." Lee told Nykita. "Don't wake her, she's had a long day." she went into the closet and fishes out some bath towels and a face-cloth. "You probably want a shower eh? Come, I'll show you how to use it. The taps are tricky and if you don't get it just right, you get scalded or frozen." |
Nykita followed behind Lee and carefully took in her surroundings as they entered Lee's room. There was a lot of green and gold and, she had to admit, she loved the design of the rug on the ground with the intricate celtic knots and the cats. She glanced at the black and white dog asleep under the window and listened to Lee's comand not to wake it, or her, up.
She took the bath towels and the facecloth from Lee with a whispered "Thank you" as her voice was still hoarse. She would need to get over it soon. She glanced around the room and took in the curtain like sheets that covered the bottom bunk and the wardrobe. It was a little odd but not that strange. It seemed...almost welcoming. |
After the shower, Lee had some clean clothes waiting for Nikita; a beautiful white shirt-dress, black Capri tights, a mini black crop jacket and some black ballet flats. It might be a bit loose at the chest and hips, and the dress would be an inch or so shorter than it was meant to be, but it was closer to fitting Nykita than any other clothes that Lee had. The collie had awoken and was laying on the bed with Lee, who rubbed the dogs tummy as her leg shook. "Who's a good girl? You are, yeees, you aaaare..." Lee told her in a baby-like voice. |
Nykita didn't spend very much time in the shower, just enough to get herself washed and dried before she pulled on the clothes that had been given toher. She frowned slightly at the slightly-too-short shirt-dress but didnt' complain. It was better than the tattered remains of her old school uniform anyway and at least she was getting something to cover herself. She pulled on the shoes and came back to Lee's room.
As she reentered she looked at Lee and the collie on the bed. The dog was clearly enjoying itself as it's tummy was rubbed and Nykita had to resist smiling at the baby-like tone that the other was using with the dog. She didn't want to disturb the other so she closed the door quietly and waited for Lee to finish playing with her dog. |
The collie was alert at the sound of the door and instantly sat up strait, giving a growl. "Hush Suzette, Nykita is our new sister." Lee scolded. The dog jumped down from the bed and approached her, sniffing the hand and giving it a gentle lick, tail swayed back and forth gently as she looked up with big and beautiful ice-blue eyes. "Nykita, this is Suzette." Lee introduced. "Don't worry she's friendly... to you anyway." |
Nykita couldn't resist the smile that pulled at the corners of her lips at the sight of the dog and the ticklish sensation as her hand was licked. She knelt on one knee and reached her other hand out to stroke the soft white and black fur.
"She's beautiful," she said softly, gazing into the dog's eyes and allowing the smile to grow a little. She had always liked dogs, the bigger the better in her opinion, and collies were one of her favourite breeds along with Huskies, German Sheppards, Rotweilers and Czeck Wolf Hounds. |
"She is... she is also very playful. You can take her outside and toss a stick around if you'd like, but later. Right now we have to head down to Duke's pub." Lee said. She stood and Suzette took her place on the bed, enjoying the warm spot and watching the girls leave the room. "What sort of guys did you usually date?" she asked. |
