Plot:

Vampires – n. 1. Humanoid creatures that feast on the blood of the living. Also known as Nosferatu.

2. Night time servants to the human race

~ Definition of the word Vampire from The Relations and History of Vampires and Humans

The common belief was that these ‘mythical’ creatures were superior to the human race in all aspects. They were stronger, faster, smarter, and even more attractive than normal humans. These creatures were also believed to be merely the imagination of the one known as Bram Stoker, although creatures of similar aspects to the vampire were evident in the beliefs and superstitions of many different civilizations, dating all the way back to the second millennium B.C., Greek and Egyptian civilizations. Even the Babylonians had a creature that resembled a vampire. What they hadn’t known beforehand was that these creatures were as real as the air the humans breathed.

Hundreds of years later, after the publication of Bram Stoker’s Dracula, these seemingly mythical creatures decided to make themselves known. That they weren’t just some imaginative figments of a reclusive author’s mind. No they were real, and this had been painfully made clear to the human race. It was expected that these superior creatures of the night would rule over the human race. What hadn’t been expected from either race were the events that transpired soon after the realization of vampires. A man, similar to that of the fictional character of Van Helsing, rose up with a relatively large group of followers and warred with the vampires. Years of war ravaged the lands of the world. Not one country was spared the gruesome war, and very few towns escaped either. Descendants of the original human rioters sprung up to continue the war and fighting that occurred, until finally the vampire race was actually brought to their knees. They had grown to the brink of destruction, to the amazement of both races, and in a desperate attempt to live on they made a desperate bargain: their freedom and eternal servitude in exchange for the survival of their race. After many attempts of negotiations the bargain was finally accepted and agreed upon.

Vampires now serve the humans who are their masters. They are adopted into a society where any and all humans are above them. Their rights are striped and their freedom is nonexistent. When a vampire is born they are immediately placed into servitude. This of course does not completely sit well with the vampires, though they begrudgingly obey. There are few instances where a small number of vampires try to rise up and overthrow the tyrannical rule of the humans, but so far all attempts have failed and the vampire race severely punished. Despite the discontent there have been romances between vampire slaves and their human masters. Unfortunately the legends of a half vampire have been proven to be false. It has been proven that a child of a vampire and human are either fully vampire or a fully normal human. It of course depended upon the mother of the child. If the mother was a vampire, then the child in turn would be a fully vampire with no ounce of human blood present within their veins. If the mother was human then the child in turn would be human with no traces of vampirism within them, although their skin did have a tendency to be lighter, though never as light as a vampire’s skin.

There has recently, within the last two years, been a small group of vampires suppressed and the consequences have been rather dire on the vampire’s part. There has now been an established day in which a vampire slave is to endure a day of torture because of the group’s digression, whether or not they had been a ‘good’ slave and obeyed every command their master(s) have given them. As the growing agitation and rift continue to grow between the ruling and the ruled will the vampire’s finally have their fill of serving and overthrow the human race? Or will they doom themselves to a continued life of servitude or possibly extinction?

Excerpt from ‘How to take Care of a Vampire’:

How to treat a vampire:

Vampires are a race that is meant to serve humans. They are merely tools to be used to quell the needs and urges of humans. They are to never, under any circumstance, to be treated equal to humans. They may be superior in various categories when compared to us, but WE are the ruling race and NOT them. They have no rights or freedoms. They are meant to serve and serve they will. If a runaway vampire is spotted they are to be reported. If a vampire acts out of place they are to be severely punished.

About vampires that you need to know:

How vampires are created:

1. A human exchanging blood with a vampire three times within a week.

2. A child is born under certain bad omens.

3. A cat or other animal jumping over the dead body of a human.

4. Committing suicide as a human.

5. The mother of a child is a vampire.

Powers of all vampires:

1. Inhuman strength, speed, intelligence, beauty, and grace.

2. Take the form of animals like bats or wolves as well as mist though only during nighttime. Once they go for sleep they revert back.

3. Control the following animals: Rats and wolves.

4. Control the elements to certain extents.

5. Flight

Weaknesses of a Vampire/Things vampires must do

1. Vampires must sleep in either a coffin (Or some enclosed area like a large tool box, dresser, wardrobe, and so on), the coffin (or enclosed area) may be placed anywhere so long as sunlight does not leak into it, or in a covered grave.

2. They must have earth from their homeland carried with them at all times, even when sleeping.

3. Cannot be in sunlight longer than 10 minutes or they will burst into flames and die, unless they wear sun block/screen. Then they have 20 minutes before they burst into flames and die. (Got that? They die! They don’t sparkle! They don’t get a sunburn! They die!)

4. Cannot enter a place unless invited in at least once. After the initial invite they no longer need it.

5. Cannot see their reflection in the mirror.

6. Do not let them eat garlic, hawthorn or the mountain ash/rowan. It won’t kill them but they won’t be leaving the bathroom for awhile.

7. Scattering seeds. For some reason they will stop whatever they are doing or are intending to do and become extremely involved in counting every single seed. They will then eventually lose interest, give up and go off to do something else or will continue counting even as the sun is rising and will burst into flames within 10 minutes of sunlight exposure. (Yes the vampires here are a little OCD and this was an actual myth about vampires as well as the sock thing. XD)

8. They must be weary of iron. Any other metal, silver included, is fine just not iron.

9. Staking them in the heart will result in death.

10. Beheading them also results in death.

11. Cremation will also end their lives.

12. Setting or being set on fire is also not recommended.

13. Vampires do need blood to survive and must feed at least three times within a 24 hour period. However they cannot attack a random person, for if they do it is required by law that they be punished whether or not they had control over it or not, and must have blood provided to them by their masters getting the blood for them, unless the master allows them to bite and feed off of them. If either the vampire or master/mistress fail to provide a vampire with blood three times within a 24 hour period then the following night that they are awakened they will fall into a vicious blood lust and attack any and every moving creature that they see in a disparate attempt to ease their thirst. If a vampire falls into a blood lust they cannot be reasoned with, as their mind is not stable nor are they in their usual state of mind or self. To rid themselves of the blood lust the vampire must consume blood three times more than normal. (Ex: If they've just fallen in a blood lust they must consume blood six times in a 24 hour period. If they've been in a blood lust for 2 days then they need to feed nine times in a 24 hour period. For 3 days they must feed twelve times in a 24 hour period and so on and so forth.)

Other bits of information about vampires:

1. Stealing their left sock will do nothing other than make them left sockless.

2. Alternatively filling it with stones and throwing it in a river will not kill them either and will merely make their sock soaked, and stretched out.

3. Sun block will not enable a vampire to stay in the sun for hours. It will only prolong their life in the sun by 10 minutes tops.

4. Running water does nothing for them. They can cross it so it doesn’t matter if you run across a river or not, they can cross it.

5. A vampire drinking the blood of another vampire will not give them the nutrition needed.

6. A vampire cannot hold land and can only live within either their master’s home or in a house provided by and paid for by their master.

7. At some point their aging ceases and they appear to go unchanging.

8. They live until killed.

9. Vampires can become ill though cannot die from any currently known illness or plague.

10. Crosses and other religious artifacts/relics do not harm or affect them.

11. They don't sparkle with glitter in sunlight, they burst into flames once they've reached the time limit end of story.

Setting:

The current year is 2012, and unlike many earlier beliefs the world is not as futuristic as it had been expected to be. Instead the world has seemingly seems to look as though it came from the distant past. Places that were once extravagant cities of lights, sky scrapers, metal structures, and paved roads have been reduced to the time where castles overlooked the lands, homes were made of stone or wood and the roads too have been reduced to cobblestone. Cars are a thing of the past now, as the fuel needed to power them has all but vanished and the alternatives no longer have the materials needed to be used either. Instead people now usually walk, use carriages once more, or have their vampires carry them to places. Electricity is a rarity among even the nobles and many families have been reduced to candles and lamps that use not oil but wood. Very very few households hold the alleged flashlight with batteries, although they are only used in extremely dire emergencies. Perhaps the only things that even reflect that this is the future is that the clothing style does not reflect the pas that the cities seem to be from nor are the weapons the same. Instead both are fairly advanced and are used to make up for what they’ve lost.

Somehow forests have sprung up once more and cover a fair amount of the world. Despite the cover of trees some nights are extremely cold and require both warm clothing and at time other bodies to keep bed occupants warm. Most of the time vampires are used for this, since despite past beliefs, they are fairly warm. Of course not all of the nights are cold. Some nights are relatively warm. Days are usually the same way, where some are extremely cool while others are extremely warm or somewhere in between. The temperature too depends upon the seasons, all four of which are still in effect and used as they had been in the past.

The particular setting that this story takes place is in a city like area that goes by the name of Maklava. It is relatively large and perhaps one of the most prospering lands within the world. Both humans and vampires are in abundance here. At night there is a local outside market that sells and trades various vampires, of all shapes, sizes and ages. A large stone castle that houses the local ‘Lords’ and ‘Ladies’ of this particular land overlooks the area. The city is surrounded by a large stone wall to protect its citizens from the various animals that live in a thicket wooded area in the west. An iron gate grants access to the said thicket, though it usually requires a vampire to open and close it. Typically it is always closed and only opens to permit those that wish to enter or exit the city, and then is shut once more. A relatively large graveyard lies at the opposite end of the city. Here many graves are used to house both vampires and the actual dead.

Time/Season

The sun has just completely disappeared in the sky making it safe for the vampire race to be out and about. Many are just awakening from their slumber and some are being ushered towards their places in the outside market, with each one carrying a pouch or medium sized bag of the earth of their homeland. Various shops are also opened at night, and at times ran by vampires belonging to the humans who typically run the shops, although since it’s still relatively early out many humans are still awake. The season is currently Fall though the air is nice and warm out. Daylight savings time has passed and so the time would only be about 5:30 p.m. or so if one followed the clock and time of the past.

Rules: (Yes I know they're fairly long, but they're mainly common sense.)

1. Standard Mene rules apply

2. I will allow things like weapons of your imaginations, but please try and keep them reasonable. I don’t want someone who carries around a giant cow catapult with them wherever they go, no matter how funny that would be.

3. Literacy isn’t too important though please don’t capitalize every single word It Gets Really Annoying! It is also a pet peeve of mine. I would also like some form of a '.' being placed at the end of sentences and something to distinguish thoughts and character talk please. And please avoid first person posts. (Offenders shall be shot...>.>)

4. I will accept one liners since I can understand things like writer’s block but, please make it a sentence that people can work off of. Don’t put something like: “She smiled.” That is not a sentence and it makes it very very difficult to work off of. Something like: “He ran outside to get away from everyone” is easier to work with.

5. Always leave a ‘door’ open for people’s character’s to come in if someone leaves.

6. Don’t go too incredibly far without someone which should help with rule #5.

7. I do ask if you join that you are active. I want people who will regularly post to join. It sucks when people can’t do anything because they are waiting on you, and you don’t come on until a week after your last post. I would like people posting at least once every other day. If you are going to be away for a while or something’s come up Alert Me! So that I know ahead of time. If it’s a holiday of some sorts you don’t have to worry as much as the required time to post shall be extended naturally.

8. No invincible characters, if they’re really good at something that’s alright but if there’s a fight let them get injured a couple of times if attacked.

9. Don’t take control of other peoples characters unless you have their permission. For example if Joey needs to go because it’s bed time and says Nina can play his character while he’s gone then that’s alright.

10. Anyone is welcomed to jump in at any time despite the page number.

11. Bios or intros are both accepted. Choose whichever you’re more comfortable with though bios make it easier to refer off of and for me to post up with the others.

12. Please don’t kill another person’s character without their permission. (Note this ties in with #8)

13. Don’t create more characters than you can handle.

14. Keep things PG-13 please. Violence, gore and romance is allowed, this includes human/vampire romance, though please don’t post anything that would get you or everyone else in trouble. In other words no vampy/human nookie alright?

15. Have some way of distinguishing between your character text and you’re out of character (OOC).

16. Ask to join if you want but it’s not required. With your characters please PM me your character profiles to be accepted. Due note that I will be going through and posting up your profiles on my first post, in quotes of course, when they are accepted so that it's easier for others to have access to your characters info. I am a fairly lenient person so more than likely your character will be immediately accepted, due note though if I do find something that needs a bit of improvement I will PM you back telling you what that improvement is. I will also send a confirmation PM to you to tell you that your character has been accepted.

17. Please keep things fairly even. I don’t want one human and fifteen vampires or vise versa. I also don’t want 6 girls and 2 guys. We need some of each otherwise the roleplay wouldn’t be very interesting now would it? I’ll have a list of both genders and races down below so that you know what is needed. If I get too many of one particular thing and not enough of another I will temporarily stop accepting the one that has a lot and accept only the ones that are lower. Once the satisfactory level has been reached I’ll start accepting everything again. I will also be putting whether or not a slave is being sold, and who’s the master/slave of who on those lists too.

18. I don’t care if you have a master and a slave character and you have your master character buy your slave character, just make sure you interact with others and not just yourself.

19. Cursing is allowed but please don’t make it something like every other word or in every single sentence. In other words don’t make it excessive, and don’t say something that could get you and others in trouble on the site.

20. Please, please, please for the love of all things holy and unholy read everyone’s post. If you skip reading them you may very well be missing a crucial detail pertaining to the storyline or your character indirectly. I can’t stress this enough!

21. If you join, you join. I don’t want people join and then never post every again. It’s annoying and wastes people time and it frustrates me.

22. To ensure you’ve read the rules I would like you to put a :glomp: somewhere in the post that your bio is in. (If you don’t know what this one is it’s : glomp: ) If you do not put this in your post somewhere when you’re PMing your profile to me I will tell you to reread the rules and find what you’re missing.

23. There is no half vampires’ period. You are either a full vampire or a full human. It’s already been explained above what your character would be if they were the offspring of a vampire and a human. I’ve discovered that when this race is allowed there becomes an overabundance of them, and I don’t want that.

24. And one final (hopefully) rule: please be respectful towards others here. It’s alright if your character hates another person’s character, due to the plot of this rp, but don’t be rude, crude, or mean to someone in OOC. I’d like this to go rather peacefully.

Bios:

~Bio Skeleton~

*This is all of the information I for sure need. If you wish to add anything else go for it.

Menewsha Name:

Character Name:

Age: (Please no unknown or ???. I want an actual number. If you’re a human keep it reasonable. I don’t want a 129 year old human. Also please keep the age close to the appearance for humans. I don’t want a 60 year old human female looking like a 17 year old human female. If she’s 60 find a picture of an old woman. Vampires are free from this looking-like-their-age rule as their bodies stop aging at a certain point.)

Gender:

Personality: (Please no ‘You’ll find out’ or any TBA. I want something here and preferably something creative)

Status: Master or a high social rank such as Lord/Lady of something (human) or Servant (vampire) (And please don’t put vampire or human here. Put either slave or master or whatever your social ranking is. If there is a special sort of status you wish to have you must converse with me about it first and I must accept it. Generally if I can see a way of making it work I will accept it, but you must still ask and converse with me about it first. )

Race: (Human or Vampire?)

Powers: (This is entirely optional. For vampires, you already have the ones listed above so please don’t put them here. For humans only things such as witchcraft and possibly a limited control over a maximum of two elements. Note that I said limited rather than mastery, that you have or can learned/learn from a vampire and only a vampire, since they are the only ones with limited control over all elements. I will accept things though such as high charisma (although not technically a 'power'), influence with money and so on, though try to avoid seduction as that is the vampire's realm of expertise. Please only limit to having only two additional powers. Please refrain from ‘Complete mastery over (insert element)’. I’m tired of seeing those. All vampires have limited elemental control over all elements so don’t bother putting it. Also if you choose something like invisibility give it a limit of some sort such as it's limited to lasting only 2 hours or can only be used during a full moon or something.)

Bio: (Please make them interesting. I don’t want repetitions that occur over and over again. Use your creativity!)

Appearance: (Anime like pictures are preferred. No real life ones. Remember humans to have it match the age!)

Other: (Whatever else you’d like to put here such as fears, likes, dislikes, or anything else you think we should know about your character.)

Accepted Bios:

Menewsha Name: Arechi

Character Name: Eclipse

Age: 2000 (Appears no older than 26 or so)

Gender: Male

Personality: Eclipse can be seen rather cold and uncaring with a distant aura about him. He has gained quite a bit of knowledge throughout his life and thus he is used quite often as a teacher to both vampires and humans alike. He will carry out the wishes of his master or mistress which makes him appear to be a rather loyal servant and gain trust. This of course is dangerous around him as he will not hesitate to exploit that and take the life of his master and/or mistress. He has built up icy defenses around himself and his heart. Of course though everyone has a tender side to them, his just never shows or comes out.

Status: Slave

Race: Vampire

Powers: Limited invisibility that will only last for a maximum of three hours and cannot be used if he needs to feed.


Bio: Eclipse, although a dutiful servant, had gained the reputation of being a rather cold and uncaring vampire from a very young age. Throughout his 2000 years of life he has served more masters than one of his age, and possibly older, ever should have. This was due to the fact he would slowly and stealthily kill his many masters and mistresses without their knowledge. He had been around during the war between the human and vampires and had even participated in such, earning him a rather reputable name for himself among both vampires and humans. He had been fully outraged of course when the vampires surrendered, and had been one of the few to try and retaliate. This of course landed him in punishment wards many of times.

He at first, and still somewhat, rejected the idea of vampires serving humans. He still couldn’t grasp the fact that his race had lost to one that was seen inferior. After the first 1000 years of his life he had tried to help stage uprisings and riots against their human masters, however all attempts had been thwarted. During the next 1000 years Eclipse chose to dutifully serve his human masters while slowly draining them of all their blood from his nightly feeding. He’s careful about it though, as he only takes a little more than needed every feeding until finally the master or mistress is too weak to get help and prevent him from finally completely draining them. He has recently taken care of his last master and has once more found himself in the outdoor market to be sold once more.

Appearance: http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...es/Eclipse.jpg

His hair is actually black instead of purple, and his eyes are green. He also wears sandals that resemble gold Roman looking ones. His robe like clothing stops just above his ankles. Around his waist is a brown colored sash like belt that has a pouch that contains his homeland earth tied around it and can be hung around his neck as well if need be.

Other: Wears the following earring in his left ear:

http://i67.photobucket.com/albums/h3...seearrings.jpg

His knowledge has made him an excellent teacher for young and old, human and vampire. His appearance has also gained both masters and mistresses the desire to own him completely. He will also, under no circumstances, take off his earring; as to why though no one really knows. Around his waist a decent sized pouch contains the earth of his homeland, which he carries with him or has around him at all times.

Intro:

He could hear the creaking of the coffin door even before he felt the rough tug of the chains around his wrists and neck. Green eyes slowly opened even as his body rose much quicker from the urgent tugs. It took only a few moments for his eyes to adjust to the light of the candles attempting to mix with the darkness. A yawn escaped revealing the male’s sharp but prominent fangs. He paused for a moment to stretch his tired limbs and earned another yank of the chains. “You’d best quit yanking that chain or you may find it in a place you’d rather not Sir” the raven haired vampire warned. The one who’d been yanking the chain knew full well that the awakening vampire would clearly carry out his threat and immediately ceased his yanking. After all this vampire was the famed Eclipse, perhaps one of the bloodiest vampires that there had been during the war between the humans and vampires.

After a proper stretching and a few more yawns Eclipse gracefully climbed out of his makeshift coffin, his pouch of dirt swinging from around his waist slightly at his movements. His green eyes calmly and coolly glanced around the room, noticing only a few other makeshift coffins that were still closed. ‘Either sleeping, empty or dead I suppose’ he thought coldly to himself and fixed his gaze upon the one who held the other end of his chain. He could feel the human shrink at his cold but calm gaze and could see the unconscious tightening of his hand around the chain. In the dim candle light a glint of metal soon caught the attention of the green eyes. Around the man’s neck was a crucifix, and though it was not the image that disturbed the vampire, but rather the material that it was made from. It was clear even in this dim light that the crucifix was made of iron rather than the commonly seen steel or gold ones. Naturally this was perhaps one of the only things keeping the vampire from attempting to tear the human merchant apart and drain him of blood entirely.

Naturally this caused the trembling of the human, that he could feel from the equally trembling chain that the merchant held tightly in his hands, a bit of a puzzlement to him. “Calm yourself human. You as well as I know you are safe from my fangs. I am neither foolish nor rash enough to risk my life in attacking you” he replied coolly still as his piercing gaze averted from the human. He could feel the trembling lessen though not completely disappear. Regardless his words still seemed to ‘comfort’ the human and renew a small amount of his resolve as the vampire soon felt the now light tug of the chain that held him captive. Calmly the vampire followed and was relieved that it only took a few moments for him to exit the shelter and enter the calm but brisk night air. He only needed to walk a little further still to get to the designated area that the merchant had for him and stopped when he felt he was in the correct place. This of course was proven when he heard the clink of metal against metal and knew that the end of his chain had been fastened to an iron hoop that was secured in one of the walls of the building he had emerged from. This was now his second, no perhaps third, night being in this spot now, as many had a tendency to only get a look at him rather than purchase. He figured the humans merely feared for their lives, as the fact that he had already had numerous masters in the past that had died rather young circulated among the population quickly, therefore they had good reason to fear the vampire. He knew that it would only be a few moments before the gawking and unwanted attention from the humans began.

Ariana did not want to be here. She opened her coffin door and peered out. That one vampire was here awake as usual and the guard was once again causing problems. She stepped out of her coffin her facial expression never changing. She glanced at the two and then went to her normal corner and sat down. She took out her book they allowed her to keep and her pen and began writing in it. She always sat here and ignored people around her. Only when try went after her book was when she got angry. The last time a customer had taken her book she had bit him so hard that she tore a chunk off of his arm. She had been soundly punished but she survived. Sometimes she thought that death would be a blessing. A nice world where she was no longer alive. Perhaps that was her destiny. She continued to write in her book.

Eclipse's forest green gaze casually drifted towards the two newly awakened vampires, ones that had seemingly been there for a few nights now. The female was more of a quiet one that often spoke in such ways that only a few would perhaps fully comprehend. In may ways he felt she was somewhat similar to himself, though he clearly knew the differences. While she spoke in a more quizzical fashion, the raven haired vampire was a bit more direct with his speech, using words that even a simple toddler could understand at times. She didn't seem to particularly put herself out there to gain a master, as he had seen other vampires in the past do, which he could surely appreciate and understand as he didn't particularly desire a master himself.

The male on the other hand was entirely different. He seemed more talkative and...friendly...especially towards humans. He seemed a bit more gentle then what he typically saw with his race, or at least that's what it seemed to him based on the small interaction he actually did with the boy, and that seemed to slightly reflect in the powers he had seen the younger male use. He knew that within due time he would perhaps find a master that would probably try to exploit the male's kindness, but then again he could be wrong.

As the other male greeted both him and the female, Eclipse calmly nodded his head in return. "Mew" he said quietly with a clear tone of distance. For the time being it was perhaps as close to a greeting as the raven haired vampire was willing to give as he knew that the less attention he drew to himself through less talking, the less likely a human would show interest...hopefully.

Unfortunately for tonight however, that plan didn't go according to the green eyed vampire's expectations as one soon approached, greeting him and then introducing himself. His gaze slowly shifted towards the human, his icy aura clearly around him, as he seemed to study her slightly to see if she was deemed 'worthy' of a response. Making a decision quickly he simply nodded his head, as proof that he heard her, and then turned it to the side uttering only the word 'Eclipse' as a sort of introduction of himself.

Marina skipped through the slave market happily. She was 18 today and her present from mommy and daddy was a new slave. She went up to the gates eagerly looking at the slaves for sale. She giggled when she noticed another lady there. The slave she was talking to seemed ok but from the way he spoke and acted she knew he would never do the things she expected a slave to do. She looked at the little girl one and rolled her eyes. She seemed like she was dead or oblivious to the world and Marina did not want a slave like that. When the other slave gave the other lady a flower Marina smiled. This one would be perfect. She went up to him and reaching her little hand in tugged his sleeve.
"Hello. My names Marina. Whats your name?"
Her voice was almost to cute and innocent. She had trained herself to look and sound sweet and innocent all the time her whole life and she had very much suceeded. Its not that Marina was a bad person. She was just spoiled. SHe always got what she wanted when she wanted it and no one had ever taught her to better herself.

Ariana stared at Mew as he said hi to her as he usually did. She just stared at him with no emotion in her eyes. She then turned back to her book and continued to write. She ignored the lady who showed up to pick out vampires and the little girl who came shortly after. She knew she would not be adopted for now so she was safe. Whenever someone adopted her she usually got adopted by a male. SHe was more suited for males because she did not have the patience to deal with females. They made her mad and when she got mad it was not a pretty site.

Duke Dylan Roseland III and Duchess Dahlia Roseland III sat quietly in the Roseland carriage. It was beautifully decorated on the inside and outside, with colorful arrays of roses that contrasted the black and gold coloring. Their driver signaled that they had arrived at the nearby town that sold vampire slaves. Hopping out of the carriage, they walked down the street, searching for the correct place. Neither of them really wanted vampire slaves, but a few weeks ago, their administrators had told them that it was "necessary" and if they didn't have them, they'd be executed. In front of a crowd.
"I think that's it." Dylan was pointing at the market with gates. There were three slaves, one female, two male. Two human females were also there, who both had incredibly long pink hair. Then again, his sister had incredibly long teal hair. Walking up to the slave market, he presented them to the smallish looking vampire with green hair. "Hello. I am Duke Dylan Roseland III, and this is my sister, Duchess Dahlia Roseland III." Dahlia nodded, finishing the sentence. "Nice to meet you."

Marina smiled taking the flower. She looked at the vampire with a large grin.
"Would you be interested in coming home with me then? I like your flower making abilities and I can take you home and give you your own room. I really am buying a slave so I can have someone to play with and to be with me when I am out. My parents fear for my safety."
She pulled out a purse full of coins and motioned for the salesman to come forward.
"How much do you want for this vampire?" She pointed to Mew. As the salesman gave an outrageous sum she stood there and began to barter with him until the price she was satisfied with was met.
"I will take him then. Please bring him out here to me."

Eclipse gave a rather icy stare towards Mew. Him be nice to a human? Such an idea was rather outrageous to the older vampire. His gaze then turned back towards the human girl who asked if he would help around the house. "Here I am merely the slave, and therefore don't exactly have much of a choice if you choose to try and purchase me. You can save your pity speeches though human. It will make no difference to me your position and reasoning as to why you desire to purchase someone who is enslaved. You can also skip the false promises of equality. The facts are simple, I'm still going to be enslaved and you would have been the one that purchased me. There is no equality in that, and to believe as such is nothing but a childish dream" the dark haired vampire replied coldly.

His forest green gaze didn't bother registering the other humans that had arrived to pick out a slave. To him it reminded him of people in a pet store picking out just the right pet. The very idea and thought of it disgusted the elder vampire, and even more so since he knew the analogy was very similar to the vampire race's current situation. There were hundreds of his kind being gawked at, paid for and treated as the dirt that the human race walked on, even if the humans claimed they were treating the vampires 'well'.

Ariana watched as first Mew was drug away and then Eclipse was being sought after. She sighed. Soon she would be alone. No one would be here and she would not have any company. That was horrible. To be without anyone. It was true she rarely spoke but she was used to Eclipse being with her. She stood up and walked over to him taking his hand in hers and looking up at him.
"Away you are leaving Alone I am being
Do not leave me here by myself with no cheer."
One thing about Ariana is she always spoke in poetry.

Marina smiled and took Mews leash. She knew she had made the right choice. She smiled up at him.
"Do not worry Mew you shall be happy with me I promise."
She turned and left the market pulling him gently with her.
"You will be so happy with me. I have a room for you and everything. Now neither of us shall ever be lonely again."
She led him to her house and stopped in the foyer. She took off his leash and collar.
"There welcome home. You are free to go anywere you wish in this house. Its really big and lots of fun. Just be sure when I call you you come ok."
Her mansion was huge. It had many rooms and three different floors. Her bedroom was located on the top floor at the end of the hallway. Mews room would be next to hers with an adjoining door. That way she could get him anytime she needed him.

"Pretty flower..." Dahlia murmured as she pocketed the orang lily in one of her dress' many folds. It was quite rare for her to actually appreciate something, and this was a present from a vampire. Perhaps it was because it was very cute...Dylan looked at the last vampire, a female with silvery hair. She was reading a book, and looked like a quiet type. They needed a quite type...one who wouldn't disturb anything much. They barely needed a vampire slave anyways, they had many human ones in their household. Calling the shopkeeper over, Dylan had asked how much she was. Surprised at the low amount at first, he then figured it was because she didn't talk much...from what he had seen already. "Dylan, what will happen if we just return without a slave? It won't matter, right? We can come back when there's more...besides, I want a slave that I can talk to." She pouted, and made puppy eyes, the only thing that Dylan couldn't resist. "...Alright, Dahlia." After making arrangements for them to come back on a later date when there were more "choices", they climbed back into their carriage to get back to Roseland.

Eclipse was a little surprised at the usually quiet female vampire coming to him, asking him essentially not to leave her alone. He couldn't really blame her, after all in such a situation most anyone wouldn't want to be alone. Plus he had been there during the entire time she had been there so he figured that it would be a bit strange for Ariana to suddenly have a 'normal' part of her current routine to be taken away suddenly. He had already been purchased, but he knew he still had a few moments left before he would be taken away by his new 'Master'.

Turning his icy green gaze towards the human who bought him he let out a sigh. "If I'm going to be forced into your service, perhaps it would also be best to gain a maid as well, or at least a female companion to assist you personally while I do the 'heavy labor' that you're apparently going to assign me to accomplish" the raven haired vampire stated calmly and icily. He wouldn't typically try to get one of his own kind bought along with him, but at the same time he wouldn't ignore the plea of one.

While he spoke the slave merchant began binding the vampire up, putting more chains on him that secured his arms so that they would have to be in front of him at all times, as well as iron and other metal bindings in between so if he made one wrong or aggressive move he would instantly feel the pain of iron on his skin. He knew that the human felt this was necessary, mainly with his killing record, although he wasn't one that typically killed his master right away. Rather he chose to take his time and strike when the best opportunity presented itself to him.

Staring at Eclipse with pleading eyes Ariana looked as if she were going to cry. He was leaving her. She would be alone. She would be abandoned as she usually was. She sighed and looked down at the ground a moment. Then she looked up at him and all you could see was one tear falling down her cheek. She went back to her corner and wrapped her arms around her legs.
"Gone gone. everyone gone.
Why when I have done nothing wrong"
She could never figure out whey everyone abandoned her when she had not done anything to deserve it. She never could understand this. Although technically she was an adult she sometimes seemed like a child.

Marina smiled at him. "Of course enjoy yourself. I will be in my room which is upstairs. O yeah. This is for you." She reached into a table drawer and pulled out a large package. It was decked out in bows and ribbons. Inside was a special collar decorated with bells and ribbons and all kinds of pretty stuff. It was merely decoration and served no other purpose. "It will keep you from being given to traders if you ever get lost." With that she skipped upstairs.

Ariana looked at the person touching her. She had never once had physical contact with anyone really. Not unless she had initiated it. Physical contact was strange and unusual to her. She raised her tearfilled eyes to the person touching her. She had not seen him before that she could remember. SHe did not pay much attention to the other vampires around her often.

"Gone away and leaving me.
No one stays to be.
I wish for life to change its ways.
So others can live out there days.
Alone I am forever to be
Alone alone with only me."

A lot of people would not speak to her because they could not understand her way of speaking. Perhaps if someone took the time to spend with her they would assist her in being able to talk properly. Her powers frightened most people and they would not even bother with her.

Eclipse couldn't help but let out a sigh. He really didn't wish to leave Ariana alone, but then if the human couldn't afford both himself and her at the moment there wasn't much he could do. He did at one point gain a bit of money himself, deciding to take it along from his previous master in case it came to use, but the human merchants had decided that money would be a waste to a servant and thus ripped it away from him during the day while he slept. Getting it back he knew would be impossible, especially with his current bounds and the threat of iron constant on the merchant's person.

He gazed down at the vampire girl, since the chains on him prevented him from going down to her eye level without the threat of harming or killing him, as his 'Master' made the possible offer of buying her tomorrow, if she was still here. "Do not worry Ariana I'm sure you and I shall meet again rather soon, even if it ends up being here to be sold once more" he whispered quietly, allowing one of his many walls of ice to temporarily come down, making him sound almost gentle and reassuring. Of course he wouldn't completely allow his mental and icy aura completely fall, at least not in front of humans, so it was as close as he could currently get to trying to comfort.

His deep green gaze then turned to Moz who too attempted to comfort the vampire female, and momentarily nodded his head in greeting as well as his way of saying goodbye for the time being. He was certain that he would probably see the two vampires again, after all with Eclipse it was hard to say just how long his master would survive this time. His attention then turned towards his new human 'master', though not before catching the glimpse of a new vampire as well as the sight of another human that seemed wanting to attempt to buy both Moz and Ariana. "I doubt she may be here tomorrow night. However as long as she won't be alone in this force life of servitude then it shall be fine for now" he replied, his tone regaining its icy composure that it had originally held.

Ariana let her gaze drift to Eclipse for a moment. She then let it fall upon Moz and then the lady with the library. It was an awful lot for her to process in one sitting. She closed her eyes a moment and then turned to Moz.
"It is hard for routines to change
Even harder in chains.
When you try to live your life
Then most humans bring you strife.
Books are fun to learn from
Even funner if I come
To your house with you today
Please just show us the way"
She smiled at them. The first time to ever see a smile on her face in a while. She stood up and gave Eclipse one last hug anda wave goodbye. Then she turned to the vampire who was trying to be nice to her. She put her hand out in an attempt to shake. When that was done she looked at the human female and frowned. She walked up to the fence and stared hard into her eyes. After a few minutes she clapped her hands and smiled again. She put her hand out to the lady in a friendly gesture.

"Nice lady I see there
She is nice enough to care
For me and him she likes us both
Serve her well I give my oath."

(writing in poetry is actually quite fun.)
