"I guess... I'll have to admit defeat."

"That would mean the world to me." He whispered leaning close to her.

Riley smiled and held her close as he deepened the kiss. He never wanted to let go of her.

Riley sighed and dropped his arms but kept his head down in shame.

"There is none better... but thank you for that last kiss..." Riley said shaking his head.

She looked at him and smiled as well and she gets up and leaves.

Just than Rosa came and looked at him "Riley why did you let her go i know you were playing them but why let her go?"

"I don't know... I guess I actually do like her..." He said grinning.

"Hmmm... I don't know... you think I should?" he asked raising an eyebrow.

See'r flinched as Riley caught his throat, and struggled to get away from him. When he was dropped suddenly, the vampire grit his teeth, readying himself to lunge after his brother. The other male moved away, and Nina followed. "Nina," See'r whispered, watching her go with clouded red eyes. If I can't keep you from slipping away from me, then life is pointless.
Just as he was about to follow them, a flash of memory stunned him, making the silver-haired youth drop to his knees with a pained cry. Clutching his head, the vampire hissed loudly, trying to block out the vision. It was when he'd killed yet another of his victims - and then another. And another. All of them died. He'd fed too roughly, killing them off in a state of blood frenzy. No. This wasn't what he wanted to see. This isn't how he wanted to think of Nina. What if I kill her too?
For once, the vampire considered letting her go . . . but then he chose not to. I chose her. And she chose me. Still on his knees, the silver-haired youth groaned lightly, trying to push the stabbing memory from his mind so he could go after Riley and Nina. He can't have her.

Nalfien snarled, baring his fangs and crouching defensively before Ember. The half breed hissed loudly, his brown eyes darkening. He wouldn't get near her.
"Only seeing if the rumors were true," Vincent said, inclining his head and letting his red eyes roam over Ember slowly. "Apparently they are . . . and they don't do you justice, love." Stepping closer to them, the elder taunted Nalfien by merely moving to a short distance, almost an arm's length. "A half breed? Is that the best you have to protect you now?" With a low chuckle, Vincent shook his head. "He isn't strong enough to keep us from you."
Nalfien bore his fangs once again, trying not to lunge forward out of instinct. How dare you.

"Nina," See'r gasped, blinking away the visions of his previous life. Wrapping his arms about the woman, he buried his face in her hair, holding her close to him. From where they were on the ground, the vampire squeezed his eyes shut, forcing his instincts down. I will not harm her. Not again.

Ember backed against the wall as Vincent took a step forward. She knew his powers and what he could do even being that far away. "N..Nalfien be careful." She whimpered reaching for him.

Riley nodded and smiled. "All right then... Wonder if my mind control still works.. doubt it will work on her though...' He said chuckling.

See'r shook his head. "Don't let him steal you from me," he pleaded, pulling away to stroke the woman's cheeks. Kissing her forehead, the silver-haired vampire frowned. "Don't abandon me." I won't hurt you.
-

Nalfien glanced to Ember, wary. His hiss died down a bit, but he kept his place between the other two. Apparently, it wasn't far enough for Vincent. He merely tilted his head, his eyes growing black.
With a cry, Nalfien fell to one knee. It felt as though a claw raked through his mind, tearing it apart. Not only his mind, but slowly, his body as well. Taking a quick breath, the half breed grit his teeth, trying not to collapse completely.
"How did you do it, Ember?" Vincent asked, his calm gaze lingering on Nalfien as the youth clenched his fists and fought to keep consciousness. "How did you become human again?" He wasn't worried about the other male - a half breed posed little threat to an elder.

She looks at her love and said "ok I will never my love I will always be with you forever." she said to him and holds his hand and kissed him deeply.

Rose feels something "hold on she is with See'r now."

See'r hummed in contentment, kissing Nina back just as passionately. Closing his eyes, he forced the sights of various individuals dying away from him. He had her. He could be happy.

Ember ignored Vincent and ran to Nalfien's side and wrapped her arms around him. "NALFIEN, A...are you okay?" She asked as tears slid down her cheek. She held him close as he fell to his knees and glared up at Vincent. "STOP IT!" She yelled pleadingly. "I'll tell you if you stop!"

"You'd better start talking," Vincent said calmly, his eyes remaining their dark shade. Nalfien barely registered that Ember was beside him, and let out a startled cry as the elder's powers wormed their way deeper into him. He couldn't block it out - it felt as though it was tearing him apart from the inside, a creature that was clawing its way into every bit of his awareness.
"If you want him to live, you'll speak."
-

See'r sighed quietly, leaning against Nina in vague relief. Perhaps this would all just end. Perhaps it would all go away, return to a semblance of peace.
"Where's Riley?" he asked, trying not to cringe as he said his brother's name.
