The angel didn't dare look at anyone as she had grown into a deep depression. So everytime the queen and king came by to check on her or that bitch of a female elder she didn't look up once nor say anything. She just lay there staring at the sheets. She didn't want to die and also knew this wasn't Vlad's fault either cause neither of them knew that they would do this. Its like she had lost all hope that both her, her husband and her children would ever be saved.

Sarah walks into the room walking over to the queen. She looks over at Vlad then to Elerra before she spoke to Iika "Its most likey she will give birth on the first day of the full moon. And that would be the strongest day to do the ritual for the vampire goddess." she would say.

(( Why don't we have them saved just as Elerra is giving birth?))

Hearing Sarah's words Iika looked at Elerra and licked her lips. "Perfect." She touched Elerra's swollen belly feeling the triplets moving inside of her. "It won't be long now, our war will begin soon, my dear princes Elerra. Or should I say, Princes Elerra the Doomed Blood Angel? After all from the beginning that has been your full title my dear one." She smiled a wicked smile as she spoke and licked her lips a second time.

David had spent the past few months deep in thought, it was true that recycling Elerra would have been a much better fate for her. But now news of what had been done to her had spread thought out the heaven's, he didn't know exactly what was going on. However it seemed that some of the most powerful angels where getting ready to mount an attack against the vampires. He looked up at the moonlight for a moment, not even wanting to know what might happen now.

(Yea that is fine with me)

Sarah laughs gently and nods "I would agree...just two weeks or so until the moon is completely full." walking over to the prince and smiles at him. "And you will be free..you will be your normal self once again." She smiles at him didn't care what he thought about her or anything else. "Now if you excuse me I still have to get a few more herbs to get it ready." winks before she turns and walks out of the room.

Elerra sighs deeply hearing the full title on her as she didn't care one bit. She shifts abit hating the queen when she touches her "Would you please leave me alone?" says softly. She was tired and just wanted some peace for an while. Elerra closes her eyes and falls asleep that was praticely all she would do. The pregence was praticely draining her so mostly what she did was take long naps but it was also from her depression.

(( Poor Elerra :cry: )

Vlad kept his eyes on the kind and queen of vampires until they left the room. He tugged on his chains, hoping to pull one of them lose and rush to Elerra's side. But the chains didn't move at all. He let out a primal cry or rage that almost seemed to shake the stone. Freedom wasn't what Sarah was offering him at all, Vlad knew that much. His mother, his father, everyone had used him! Now Elerra and their children where paying the price for that! He scowled and cried again again, if ever the vampire prince had wanted to see an angel other then his beloved, it was now.

Luke walked the heaven's using one of his items, that let him come and go as he wished. He had over heard everything in the temple, and was now looking for the angel, he had spoken to now so long ago. He felt a chill run thought him, she had been a very powerful angel, but also a lovely women. A smile slipped across his lips, maybe he could talk her into helping Elerra and Vlad? He didn't think it was likely, but it was all he could do at this time.

Mary notice something strange walking around the heavens. So she heads out of the temple and found the human who helped Elerra. Not sure why he was here but she had a feeling it was something about the rumors on what was happening. Mary walks over to the human and crosses her arms over her chest "What are you doing here, human?" says

Luke smiled at Mary, "I came and go as I please, or where I am sent." He looked up at the stars for a moment. "Its been many months, since I last saw you." He looked back into Mary's eyes as he spoke. "Your as radiant as you where that day." He brushed a lock of brown hair off of his shoulder. "Mary, on the first day of the full moon. Elerra will be sacrificed to the goddess of the vampires." He laced his fingers. "My master will also lose his soul on that day. Also, the young ones, growing inside of Elerra, will be made into weapons against heaven. None of this can happen." He looked into Mary's eyes. "I am only a blood slave, but my master has always shown me some kindness. I remember when Vlad nearly killed another who serves him, he staid up with Page made sure things hadn't gone too far." He bit his lip hard, knowing he only had one shot at this. "Mary, if you care anything for Elerra, you must act now and save both Elerra and Vlad, before the first day of the full moon." He felt a chill rush though him. "Please!"

Mary looks around alittle as she listens to him. She looks back surpising by what he said to her. It seem sure that Elerra was going to die if she wasn't save before the full moon. But there was also risk in this misson and wasn't to sure. Mary remains quiet for some time as she though. "I...I don't know if I can..the law is clear and she broke it. But we can't let this happen either...I can help but I doubt I could get one to join me...its praticely a suicide misson if we go in there.." leans against a post and stares at the ground.

Luke's smile widened. "Good, if anyone will join you that will be even better." He put his hands on his hips keeping his eyes on Mary. "Elerra has been with child for three months now, she should carry a little longer." He shook his head. "but. Sarah is becoming impatient, she wants the babies out of Elerra too soon." He moved his hands from his hips. "But, those three children of Elerra and Vlad, might come early and ill prepared for life out side of their mother." She turned to leave hoping that Mary would fallow him soon, he stopped. "Mary, you must remember, even if we die we die serving my master and Elerra, and the triplets, we go to our graves for them!" He started walking again his heart pounding.

Mary sighs deeply this was truely going to be life or death here. And yea she couldn't take a chance of the vampires using the children for plots in the war. Rubbing her head abit some how maybe they could pull it off. But it would be hard most of the angels refused in helping out and some didn't want to believe it. "Luke wait..we can't rush off like that..we have to take time...any if possible. Why don't you wait at my house? Maybe I can talk a few angels into helping us. Like I said...just going in there with two people isn't going to help Vlad and Elerra." says looking at him.

Luke turned and looked at Marry. "Alright, but we don't have much time." He laced his fingers as he spoke. "Please Marry take me to you home."

Vlad closed his eyes his body filling with rage, he wanted to hold and comfort his wife, to feel their children moving inside of her. He pulled on his chains as he did this the manacles bit into his wrists, he winced and berthed deeply. "I am sorry, my love."

Mary nods taking an look around before she leads Luke to her house. Luckly no one else was at home as she opens the door letting Luke in. "Stay here I will see if I can talk the angels into help...I know I can't talk to David he is to stuborn to let thing go." looking at Luke before turning around and heading off. She had talked to many angels before finally getting about ten mostly from her unit. She told them to wait for her at the gate then she heads to David's place to see if she could talk him into helping but she doubt it.

Sarah walks into the atlar room as the priestesses was already setting the atler. She looks up at the ceiling out of the glass window which was usual close during the day but was open at the night. She smirks lightly "It won't be long the moon is nearly its full stage." giggles lightly looking over at the doomed princess before looking over at the prince. "Just wait alittle bit longer. You will feel much better."

David sat quietly by the window, why was it that Elerra insisted on stealing the soul gem? He leaned his back against the wall. He had always liked Elerra, but now she had betrayed everyone and fallen in loved with a blood sucking vampire. He felt a wave of anger rush over him, how was it so easy for her to turn on her own?

Vlad’s eyes narrowed as Sarah spoke. “Better!” He spat and started to tug on his chains, the manacles slicing into his wrists. “Better!” He pulled harder and managed to pull on of his arms free, along with some of the stone from the wall. His eyes became dark and menacing and with a grate effort he managed to free his other arm. After ripping the IV from his arm he moved between Sarah and Elerra. “Leave my wife and children alone!” There was venom in his voice, that was fitting for a prince of vampires, but also for a father and husband. “Sarah leave this place! Leave it!”

Mary walking into the house and sighs deeply looking at David. "Well I see you haven't changed..." shakes his head abit. She would sighs deeply before walking over to him. "I guess this just waste of words but I just wanted to ask. I have my unit and myself to go help out Elerra and Vlad...because its an order from our father. He decide that this stupid war has to end..and he believes that Elerra and Vlad are the key to stop it." says looking at him "So I ask you again please come..." waiting to see what David says.

Sarah blinks watching the prince rip himselfs away from the chains. She takes a step back "Guards!" says calling out as they rush in behind her. "Those children was never yours to began with..from the moment they came to be. They belong to the elders...they belong to me now." says. "So don't test me your highness..my powers are far greater than yours. I think its time for you to be locked in the cage..you will need a front role see for this." smirks lightly "Guards take him to the cage..."

David looked at Mary “He said that? Or are those your words.”

XXXX

“B****!” Vlad swung his chains at the guards as they swarmed around him, he managed to take down at least four of them. But in the end the vampire prince was wounded and forced into the small cage. Just like before a docter hooked Vlad up to an IV, to supply him with blood. However Vlad’s eyes shot a dangerous look at Sarah. “Those children are mine! Princes Elerra is mine!” He growled baring his fangs. “When I am king and Elerra, takes her rightful place as queen! I promise that you will have no power!”

Queen Ikia came into the room, with a doctor by her side, and approached Sarah, ignoring her son’s angry words.

The doctor examined Elerra and turned to the queen and Sarah. “She will give birth on the full moon, then the three children will be given over to the elders as planed. He put a hand on Elerra’s swollen stomach, feeling the triplets moving inside of her. “Just a few more days.” He moved a hand up onto Elerra’s neck. “And your blood will grace the altar of the goddess.”

Mary pulls out the scroll and tosses at him "Read that if you don't believe me...now I need to go home and get ready with Luke. If you decide to join then you know where we be." turns around and leaves the house then heads home.

-------------

Elerra just lays there watching as she didn't even move. Cause there was to much going on and it was completely stressing her out. Since she praticely lost all will to live almost. But it was apparent that Vlad was carring double the will for the both of them. She sighs deeply and looks away as she almost look like a zombie.

Seeing this Sarah knew there wouldn't be enought time before the moon was completely full. "Hey doc..you might want to stick around. And make sure she doesn't die before the night of the ritual. I would hate to loose her and the children at the same time..." says. She looks at the doctor before looking over at the queen. "Don't worry your majesty. This is just the effects of that cursed soul he has." She had to keep the blood angel alive cause it was critical for the ritual for their goddess to be done on the first day of the full moon or it would never be able to happen again.

Luck sat quietly, right now he wanted to go to his master, but until Marry came home there was very little that he could do. The blood angel would be killed the fallowing night and Vlad, Vald would go back to the way he had once been.


Iika looked to her son and back to Sarah. "I know, as soon as the angel is dead, my son will be liberated from that soul. and you will become his new wife."

"At best the sacrifice has one day left in her." the doctor smiled at Sarah and the queen as he said this. "But the full moon will rise tomorrow." He examined Elerra and turned to his nurse. "Bring me blood, and life support." Knowing that it was nearly time, lifted Elerra onto the stone altar, and chained her arms to the sides of the altar.

The left the room, and with in the hour she returned with everything, she had been asked to bring.

The doctor when to work hooking Elerra up, before he turned back to the queen and Sarah. "She dies tomorrow.

Vlad seize the bars of the cage, in his hands and glared at the evil vampires in the room. Then slowly his eyes drifted to his pregnant wife, she looked like she might die before the children came. Anger rushed thought him in hot waves, their children could never belong to the vampire elders, never!

Mary walks inside the house and takes an look around. SHe looks ove at Luke before moving over "You know more about where Vlad lives..is there any traps that they have? I need to know everything about that castle." says moving over to a closet and opens it up. It had her armor and such in there as she puts it on over her clothes.

Elerra winces alittle she was sore and not sure if anyone would come. It didn't seem no one aboved cared about what happen to her. After all she betrayed everyone as she thoguht that this was her punishment for loving a vampire. Elerra opens her eyes and looks at the doctor glaring at her with a weak look before seeing Vlad in the cage. "Vlad..." she mumbles.

Sarah nods at the doctor there was just one thing else she had to do before then. She leaves the altar room and heads back to her studies which still had everything in there. She was almost jump for joy inside but she dared not to show it. She felt something was going to happen during this. Ever since that stupid little sprite escape she knew that little bug would run back home. And now that Luke was missing she was sure that he was up there getting more help. So yea there was something going on so she had to think of something to stop it. There was no way the angels would get thru what she had plan. Unless something happens to her. Her spells was basely protecting the atler room and only those who was vampires or half breads could enter it.

“They won’t be in the castle, but the temple.” Luke shook his head sadly. “I have never been there, so I don’t know what to expect, only that there will be some very powerful priestesses on hand.” He looked into Mary’s eyes. “We have to move out now, or Elerra will be dead by sun down tomorrow.”

Vlad looked to his wife with sad eyes. “Stay strong Elerra, stay strong!” He wanted to hold her to give her fresh blood to drink, anything that could save her form her fate. “Elerra, I love you.” He closed his eyes feeling small and helpless. “I love you!”

Mary rubs the back of her neck and sighs "So we are going in there blind..I can deal with that..but not sure about the others." She would soon turns and heads to the door as she opens it there was a crowd of angels already to move out. "You might want to stay here Luke..you are a human..I doubt you will make it out alive if you came.." says looking over at him.

"Yes." Luke shook his head feeling more than a little upset about the situation. “But I can show you the way.” He said coming up behind Marry, he was more than a little unsure of himself, but he believed that he had to do this. “Right now the high priestesses will be getting everything ready; if we are going to save the prince and princess it has to be done, before Elerra gives birth.” He shook his head. “It will be morning soon.” He took a small blue stone out of his pocket. “I can get us with in half a mile of the temple. Everyone hold hands.” He took Marry’s hand in his and waited for the other angels to do the same.

Mary looks over at Luke before she looks toward the angels. She searches for a familer face but it was apparent he wasn't coming. So there was no used waiting for him and nods to the angels to do so. "Alright lets go...we can't waste any more time.." says.

The priestesses was getting the female elder ready. It was nearly time and the priestesses was busy in the temple while Elerra struggles alittle from the chainsl. Already the labor as already starting and it was very painfull. She didn't want to be here and knew Vlad didn't want to be here either. But she was kinda weak but with the blood it did give her some strenght. But they didn't want to give her to much so that way she wouldn't escape. Thats why they only give her as much to help the children grow when it was time. ANd now was the time.

Luke closed his eyes and soon Luke and the angels where standing in a grove of trees, exactly half a mile from the temple. Luke started walking slowly as the sun set. “Marry, this is where we part ways, just go east and be ready for the worst.”

A high priestess stood by the stone altar, waiting for Elerra to push the first of the three children from her body. She flashed a knife before Elerra’s eyes. “That is if your too week to give birth to them.” A wicked smile curled across her lips. “Now push!”

Anger flashed in Vlads eyes. “Leave me wife alone!”

The high priestess turned to Vlad. “Silence!”

Vlad took the bars in his hands rage showing in his dark eyes. "Leave her alone!"

"Psss...psss Prince Vlad" a little voice was behind him. The sprite was back but she had to becareful not to let anyone notice she was back. "Lady Elerra is stalling isn't see." Rosey could tell that Elerra didn't want to give her children up. "But anyway there is help coming they are close...do you still have the strenght to defend them enought so the angels will come..."

Elerra winces alittle looking at the knife. She didn't care she wasn't going to push out any of her children. Yea there was a chance her and the kids would die but she wasn't about to give her babies up to the evil vampires. Vlad would be able to agree with her also.

Mary looks at Luke smiles lightly "Thanks..Luke..your not bad as a human. Goodbye...this would probbly be the last time we will see each other." Mary looks over at the others "Move out.." says as they take flight and Mary would take the lead. As they was taking the full charge and not luring in the shadows.

Sarah sighs deeply watching the crystal ball. "Foolish." She looks over at the guards "Declare the alarm...we are going to have guests very soon." before she rushes out of her studies and hurries along to the temple. As the guards would do as they say and takes up their defenses for the coming attack. Sarah walks in and seeing that the curse angel didn't have the babies yet. "I don't have time for this..cut her opening and get those damn babies out of her!" yelling at the priestess while moving to the atlar.

Rosey was afraid of this. "Oh no..Elerra!" which she moves over lucky she had enogught power to break the lock on the cage to unlease Vlad from his cage.

“No.” Vlad felt his eyes becoming heavy. “They put something in my blood.” He indicated the IV. “Just help Elerra, she is too weak and can’t stall forever…….” He fell against the bars. “Help my wife!”

“I was hoping you would say that!” The high priestess smiled and sliced Elerra belly open, Then one by one she lifted the triplets out of their mother. She laid them down on the bed, near the stone altar. When she finished she made sure that the children were taken to be cleaned up, but other priestesses. She looked at the gaping wound in Elerra’s belly for a moment, before sowing her shut. “Don’t worry my doomed blood angel, or should I say princess Elerra? You will live a little longer, after all Sarah will be the one to end you.” She touched Eelrra’s face and turned to see Rosey open the cage, that Vlad was in. But a wicked smile came over her lips, when she saw that the prince of vampires didn’t move. “It would seem that the drugs have done their work, for now at least Vlad will sleep.”

Already there was fighting outside of the castle and temple. Many angels and vampires fall but many also broke thru the ranks. Many and a few others rushes to the temple of course Sarah's barriers wasn't that strong. Since Mary was able to counter her spells.

There was nothing Rosey could do as Sarah moves over behind the atlar. "O Devilina...the vampire goddess..I call upon you..your servent, Sarah Darkfire...take this blood angel as your sacifice and give the newborns strenght to kill those who come across our kin." yells out as she raises the dagger above Elerra. She was just about to stab the angel when a arrow came and hits the vampire elder right in the shoulder causing her to fall back and drops the blood. But the worst part the arrow that it was dipped with deadman's blood. It was almost like poison to the vampire. Sarah hisses and collapse to the ground "What the hell?!"

Mary rushes in with others at herside with her bow in hand. "Not today you will never kill her or take those babies. So give it up." says keeping alert causethere was still alot more in the temple.
