Sarah gave another breath but again grew still and silent, trapped in her near dead state. She fought harder, nearly whimpering. So much powerful energy around her… it was too much! Was Russel back? Couldn’t she be left alone in death…wait… no not death… death rejected her…Or was it she who rejected death? Not even she could answer this question…

"Well, this way then." Monty leads Hiro back to the guest rooms and directs him to a room next to his. "This'll be where your staying while you're here. My room is right here next to yours, so if there's anything you need, I'll be at hand." Monty opens the door and says, "Make yourself comfortable. There's no hurry."

"I'm not sure," Anita says answering the question. She watches intently as the girl stirs.

"We should get her below. If she wake up here, there is the possibility that she will attack the nearest human. I would not like that human to be any innocent bystander." Jean Claude turns to go back into the underground complex.

"C'mon Damian." Anita pauses then asks, "Why didn't you just come down with me in the first place?"

Damian gave a nod and began to walk after them, stopping as Anita turned to him again. "You said you would be right back. that implied you wanted me to stay here." He said, then followed the other Vampires through the door, descending to the complex below.

Hiro followed the short Vampire to a guest room, and set his bag on the bed, turning to Monty as he spoke. "I'm afraid there is a hurry, for I am not better off than you are at the moment. I have to feed as soon as I can." He stated simply, looking about the room again before settling his odd eyes on Monty again.

"Well. I'm sure There's someone about who will be willing food." He thinks for a moment, then pulls out a cell phone, hitting one of the quick dial numbers, and holds it to his ear for a moment, "Yeah..." His tone turns suggestive, "It's Monty... Yeah... Come on over, and bring a friend or two.... You're gonna bring George?... Well. See you in a few." He closes the phone and turns to Hiro. "I just ordered us some Italian Ginger," He says with a smirk.

Jean Claude leads them into the main sitting room, brushes past Richard, and gestures for Damian to set the girl on the couch. "I think all we are able to do now is wait."

Anita thought about it and found very little to argue with, and what she did find to argue with was petty, so she let it go. Upon entering, she sees Richard and has to work to ignore him. "I'm going to call Micah, and Nathaniel. I'd like them to be here." She pulls out her cell and dials Micah's number, "Hey... Yes it's okay... Do you think you guys could come over to the Circus tonight?... Thanks... I love you too... Tell him I love him too..." She smiles, "Alright... Bye," She hangs up, "They're on their way."

((Hmmm... I wonder who she's going to eat when she first wakes up.. she'll be all guilt ridden afterwords though because that is her nature *pats Sarah))

((The only people in the room the she could possibly eat, could kill her no problem. Anita is the Executioner amongst the monsters, and Richard is Ulfric... very powerful werewolf, and leader of the Thronnos Rokke Clan.))

Hiro watch Monty with interest as he called someone, and couldn't help but smile slightly as he cheekily described the call as an order for take-out. He was curious, but he supposed he just had to wait and see.

Damian walked past the aggressive werewolf to lay the girl gently on the couch, her hair fanning out, spilling over the edge to pool on the floor. He stood again and turned to the others, waiting for Anita to get off the phone with Micah. When she slipped the phone back into her pocket, he began to feel the slight panic start up again. "How could this be happening? This is unheard of." He said, glancing to the girl, then back to the Anita.

Asher stood silently, his mind going over the situation time and time again, possibilites arising only to be cut down with logic again and again.

They only had to wait for a few moments when a pair of red headed men walked down the hall. Monty called them in. The were twins with brown eyes and pale, freckled skin. "This is Fred," he gestured to one of them, "And this is George," he says gesturing at the other. "So, guys, this is Hiro Shiomataru. He is a guest here for the time being. Be sure to remember that you now represent all the hyenas in St. Louis." He turns to Hiro, hanging between them, and waiting, obviously, for him to choose.

"I must admit, I am at a loss. I think all we can do at the moment is wait and see." Upon hearing Richard's remark he turns to him and says, "Mon lupemust we do this right now? She has been turned by a young rogue vampire this night and the change is happening rapidly. It should take three nights, but it seems as though it is going to happen tonight. It would be like A newly turned wolf shifting a week before their first full moon."

"Richard," Anita sighs, "We really don't need this right now. If this is all you're going to do, then just leave."

((but isn’t a newly risen vampire going to need a … bite..? XD and sorry my broadbands being mean))

Sarah shifted as she was lay down, shuddering a little and taking another breath… and another… Soon she was awake enough to feel… and it felt like she was on fire. It seemed a quicker rising had it’s drawbacks as she couldn’t believe how bad this hurt…the only time she’d felt anything like it was when she’d been in the hospital bed after her brothers death and her injury but this time it was worse… This time it was everywhere and not centered in her scar….

A moan of pain escaped her, one hand gripping the couch she was lain on. The other hand shakily reached up to grip her throat, she felt like it was on fire.. It hurt so bad she felt like she was choking… Coughing she attempted to sit up only to find she could barely lift her head and she fell back. Her off-tone eyes fell from person to person, sheer terror on her face. Somehow… somehow she knew… they were like Russel.. “D..don’t…” She whimpered, pushing back into the couch. She did not know that she two was like them… she’d always been different so it did not surprise her somehow.

((Drakina>> lol, it actually looks like you're enjoying the role even though you said he was the "meanie stinky doodoo face" lmao, nicely worded XD oh, and it looks like my crazy week is over <3 I'm totally planing to sleep in tomorrow <3 gotta get back 5 days worth of shortened sleep XP))

Crap, crap, crap, dammit, dammit, dammit. Drew thought as she raced through the streets. She suddenly remembered that Rafael's hideout was near here and quickly pulled out her cell phone. Jumping into a nearby dumpster and closing the lid, she pressed speed-dial on her cell. *Brrrrr-Brrrrrrrr-Brrrrrrrrrrr* "Comon, comon, answer, please, please answer......", she prayed. After a few seconds, Rafael picked up.

"Drew? Is that you calling?", Rafael asked.
"Yeah, it's me, I know, a first time for everything, but listen up, I got a rogue vamp on my tail and I really need some cover."
"Oh, I can do more than cover you, but what am I going to get out of it? You do know that I don't do much without a deal drawn. OR you can just shift a little bit and eat the whole thing - bones, clothes, and all...."
"Gah...dammit, I know that I'm going to regret this, but.....what do you want? I'm really desperate and you know perfectly well why! And I think you also know the things I WON'T accept for a bargain."
"........okay, I'll give you some slack since this is the first time you ever even asked for help. Come to my place and then we'll discuss what you can do to pay me back."
"I am NOT going there without talking out all of the terms. What exactly-", suddenly the lid of the dumpster disappeared from above Drew. "Aw, SHIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT!", she yelled as she was grabbed and thrown into the air. Oh, screw it all to hell. Drew thought as she painfully shifted out her large wings and gently floated in mid-air. At least shifting just my wings gives off the least amount of power, I was born with them for goodness sake. Just when Drew thought that she was safely away from the rogue vampire, he launched himself into the air and grabbed Drew on the tips of her right wing. "Ouch! let go!", Drew shouted as she flapped her wings viciously. The rogue vampire seemed determined to stay on and started to pluck and crawl his way up Drew's wings. "GNAHHHHHH!!!!!", Drew screamed with pain as the rogue vampire ripped her wing apart piece by piece, the damned creature seemed to enjoy it. "Fine Rafael, I'll take you up on that devil's offer!", she shouted into the dark, empty sky. And with that, Drew flew toward Rafael's place.

By the time Drew got near Rafael's place, the rogue vampire had already made his way up most of his wing and was just about to reach onto her back. she shouted, "Rafael! Get your ass out here or else all you have left to pay our deal is a dead body!!!", hoping that Rafael would hear her. In that time, the rogue vampire had made his way onto her back and had his hands on her left wing. With a show of brute force, the rogue vampire tore Drew's left wing completely off. "HEEEEELP!!!!", Drew screeched as she plummeted toward the earth. In a blink of an eye, there seemed to be a group of people underneath Drew. She realized that that might be Rafael's "help" and hoped with all her might that it was not anything else. All at once, the group of were-animals caught drew and pulled the rogue vampire off of her. Then she was pushed into someone's arms, someone she knew....but couldn't remember just that second....
"Drew! Can you hear me? Nod if you can hear and understand me." Rafael spoke urgently.
Drew slowly nodded and was vaguely aware that the vampire was being restrained on the sidewalk by the other shapeshifters.
"Do you need to shift to heal? Do you need medical treatment? Will you react to any specific drugs? Chemicals? Dammit Drew, why'd you go and destroy all those records they had of you?"
".......w-wait...", Drew whispered. She slowly and painfully rose her bloody and shredded right wing. Feathers seemed to shoot out of her back and in a few seconds, there were almost no indication of Drew's wings other than two bloody slashes down her back. "Drew...", Rafael said her name unpleasantly,"You haven't told us even half of what you can do or what you are, did you?"Then Drew noticed that she was covered in a ton of blood and if someone saw her now, they would not have ever recognized her. With that last unpleasant, yet relieving thought, she fainted in Rafael's arms.

As soon as Drew fainted, Claudia came over and told Rafael that the rogue vampire had been detained. Rafael handed Drew over to Claudia and told her to keep Drew a secret and if anyone were to ask about tonight, just say that a shape-shifter was hunted by a rogue vampire and nothing else. Claudia was to spread the word amongst those that were gathered there and then bath, dress up Drew's wounds, and place her in the guess room. Since Rafael had a feeling Drew would not be happy if she were sent to any hospital, even the most secretive ones. As soon as that business was taken care of, Rafael wiped his bloody hands on his shirt and got out his cell phone. He immediately called Jean-Claude, hoping that he would pick up the phone and get that rogue vampire off of his hands.

"We should get her something to eat now, for when she wakes up." She looks at Sarah as she starts to wake, "Yes now would be good. I don't want to have to kill her."

Jean Claude is about to say something when his phone rings. He pulls it out to see who it is, and and flips it open, "yes... yes... I see... well bring him in." He closes the phone, "It seems Rafael and his people have caught our rogue vampire."

Hiro looked the two up and down, they seemed identical to the last freckle. He stepped toward them, circling and smelling each in turn, running a pale, cold hand on Fred's neck. "You.... You can be mine, yes?" He said, his voice dropping in pitch, leaning towards the young man's face. His strange eyes seeming to slide about, power glistening in them.

Asher moved slightly as the young woman stirred, his eyes widened as she regained conscience. 'This is... impossible...' he thought, his icy eyes watching in silence.

Damian moved back over to Sarah as she woke. He felt pulled to her and he wasn't sure why, it disturbed him. His green eyes watched her struggle, curious and cautious at the same time. She seemed terrified and he couldn't blame her.

Sarah shivered as she heard the others speak. Get her something to eat? Then Damian was walking closer to her and she tried to push back into the couch, suddenly wishing she could disappear…Was he going to bite her too? She whimpered at the thought, her eyes studying his vivid green ones. Why was the color familiar to her?

“Who are you! What do you want?” She demanded, not only of Damian though her eyes were mainly on him now… Somehow though… he scared her less then the others… she didn’t understand, none of this made any sense… and why was she so thirsty!? And why did the woman smell so …. So… good?

Fred's head tilts to the side and his eyes flutter closed, almost melting into the caress. Monty takes his arm off him and turns to George, "Shall we leave these two alone for now?" George glances around the doorway toward Monty's room. "Sure." Monty looks back at Hiro, "Do you think you'll need anything else for a while?"

Anita keeps back a ways, but says, "I'm Anita, this is Asher," she says nodding toward Asher, "That's Jean Claude," she gestures to Jean Claude. "And the man next to you is Damian." Anita pauses and calmly and quietly says, "We want to help you."

Jean Claude looks to the door just as Jason walks in, then back to Sarah, "Sarah, you have been attacked by a rogue vampire, that is to say one of us that has chosen not to follow the rules set by myself for this city. He bit you, and i believe this is not the first time?"

Hiro smirked as Fred leaned into his touch, his eyes roaming the pale skin. "no... this is fine for now." He responded to Monty with a smile, his fangs beginning to elongate already.

Asher gave a nod to the girl as she looked to him with scared eyes, his hair and coat covered his scars from her sight, though he couldn't help but let his eyes wander to hers.

Damian kept looking to her, she seemed to see something in his eyes, and it almost relaxed her. He could hear her panic, but feel her body relax as she looked to his emerald orbs. He kneeled by the couch, glancing to her neck, seeing through the dried blood that the bite that turned her had sealed and her skin had become the same translucent white of other vampires. Her two-toned eyes held fear and pain, worry and confusion. He felt a strange compassion for this young woman and he was puzzled as to why.

Anita… she glanced to her as she spoke. She shivered, unable to keep her mind from the smell… was it some sort of perfume maybe, the unknowing vampire thought cluelessly. It reminded her of the smell of her favorite cookies in the oven, down to the very feeling. It made her mouth water and her stomach ache with anticipation…Unable to stand it she looked away and tried to sit up again, whimpering at the effort it took as she sat on the opposite end of the couch to be as far from the smell as possible. The hunger it inspired… made her uneasy.

“h..help me?” that’s right she’d been.. Dying… but now she felt strong as ever despite the burning in her muscles and skin. She then looked to Jean Claude as he said her name, a little disturbed that he knew it as she did not know they had her wallet but calming down. They weren‘t going to hurt her… Slowly she nodded, looking down at the ground and curling her legs and arms slightly closer as if remembering.

“Third time….I didn’t know the first time… then I confronted him and he just…attacked me…Does it matter?” Her voice was dark with sorrow for a moment though it had lost much of its fear, the betrayal in her voice clear. To them he was just a rogue vampire, to her he was Russell the one man who ever made her feel beautiful, the one man she’d ever thought she could love… Shaking it off she then looked up, trying to calm herself now. She didn’t feel so scared now… their voices were sincere and though their energy was immense and slightly scary her own said she was safe here… Still.. All the power in this room… made her fear that much harder to squash..

Hearing Damian kneel she looked back to him again, her vivid blue green eyes instantly landing on his more purely colored ones. She could feel Asher’s eyes on her scar but this was something she was use too… few could resist eyeing her scar. Still, she reached back and swept her hair to one side, the scared one of course, and pulled her hood back in place so it was nearly covered. Compassion… she could see it in his gaze and it soothed her as finally her fear seemed to disappear replaced with confusion and pain instead… wait…that hunger Anita inspired… and seeing the suddenly paler skin on her own delicate hands… no, she couldn’t be…. Could she?

Jason, who had been standing in the doorway felt the joke he was going to crack die on his lips. "Wait... was she just turned?" He asked, looking to Jean-Claude and Anita, then back to the woman on the couch, Smelling her fear. "Should I uh... go?" he asked, looking to Jean-Claude.

"Then he has two counts against him. He not only tried to kill you, he has also turned you with out permission." He pauses seeing her eye her hands and watching her expression as the realization and denial played across her face. "I am sorry."

Anita watched Damian and Sarah as they seemed drawn together. She also watched Sarah looking at her, then looking away quickly, "Jean Claude, she needs to feed now."

Jean Claude sighs, "Of course ma petite. One moment." He hears Jason's question, "No, This young girl needs to feed now, and I am afraid, you are the only one here who can fulfill that need."

Monty nods and leads George into his room, closing the door behind him. Once inside, he turns to George, who is already half-reclined on the bed. Monty immediately slinks toward him and half crawls on top of him. He leans in and kisses him thoroughly, grinding his hips into the other man. George moans with pleasure and slowly Monty kisses down his neck and sinks his fangs into the were's throat. George half gasps and slides back until he is laying fully on the bed, Monty above him. Monty pulls away, taking off his shirt. George pulls off his shirt half sitting up under Monty. Monty leans down and kisses him again, Georges blood still on his lips. The blood arouses George even more, and he wraps his arms around Monty and rolls them over until he is on top. He kisses and bites his way down Monty's throat and chest. and back up. Monty rubs his thigh against George's groin, eliciting a growl of pleasure from the red head. (Fade to black)

Hearing Jean Claude she looked away, curling over the arm of the couch. She could hear it in his voice as he said he was sorry…. There was no denying what she had become. ’Do no harm’ the main tenet of her religion… could she still follow that? She squeezed her eyes tightly shut, trying to resist the urge to cry as she muttered lamely “I don’t think he meant to….”

As Jason spoke she found the smell intensified and she was beginning to have trouble not jumping someone…anyone… She’d never known a hunger like this. She pressed into the arm of the chair as she resisted both the urge to feed and the urge to cry, nearly biting into her own arm as she put forward her effort. It felt like it would never go away… “Please…” She whispered, unable to say anything more. Could they get the two yummy smelling people out of the room already!!!!

Rafael sighed as he put down the phone and glanced at the bed where Drew was sleeping. The girl has been almost a ghost to most of the shape-shifter community, in the past 5 years since she's been here, she never even once asked for help. It's amazing that she has been able to survive for this long without help and completely separate from the community. This time she could have been killed and I guess I'm the last resort she has. But still, Claudia says that she found some of Drew's feathers that got impaled into the wall.... What the hell were they trying to do to Drew in that lab? Make a human killing machine? And now I know why she doesn't call often. Rafael thought grimly. "Claudia! Guard Drew and make sure no one sees her while I go and deliver that rogue vampire.

((I'm at my mom's shop getting tutored in math so I'm gonna be on and off hourly today :d))

Jason blinked a few times, then nodded, sliding all the way into the room and closing the door. He took a deep breath and glanced to the girl, then Anita, then Jean-Claude. He knew better than to argue, and it almost sounded like an order so he simply went over to the couch, looking to the huddled young woman, and kneeled by her. He then looked back to Anita. "Ya know, I'm kinda relieved Jean-Claude told me to. I thought for a minute I'd have more competition." He joked, glancing back to the woman, eying her torn top and slightly hiked skirt.

Damian shifted out of the way, but stayed near, her energy still pulling at him. He watched, but his mind was deep in thought, confused about this newly turned woman and her effect on him.
