Tess had washed her hair and scrubbed the dirt and blood from her hands and body and was letting the hot water relax her muscles when she heard the door to their room close. Snapping back into reality, thinking she'd turn into a prune if she stood in here any longer, she turned the water off and reached out of the shower for a towel. Wrapping it around her long dark hair she stepped out of the shower and wrapped a second towel around herself. She wiped her hand across the mirror and stared at her reflection for a moment. Her features were dainty and refined, her lips almost naturally pouty, her eyes a dark brown, seeming sometimes red. It had been a while since she felt clean and was able to see her own face without dirt, or ash or blood smeared somewhere about it. Removing the towel from her hair she scrunched the towel through it a couple of times before letting the long wavey strands fall where they pleased. Finally emerging from the bathroom she saw a shirt and pants on the bed. "Are these compliments of Mizu?" she asked. "She really is kind..." Tess said as she wriggled into the jeans. Stepping into the bathroom again she removed her towel and pulled the shirt over her head. Looking at herself in the mirror she grimmaced. Her and Mizu weren't the same size, nor did they have the same style... but chances were these weren't her everyday clothes, as she clearly had men and womens clothes stored for guests. Picking up her dirty clothes from the floor she set her empty gun in it's holster, and her knife in it's holster on the bathroom counter. I'd really like to wash my clothes and get back into them... she thought. Without telling James where she was going she quickly slipped out of the room and down the hall in search of a washer and dryer. This was a hotel, there had to be one somewhere... She was almost at the lobby when she realized this place was rather large. Maybe I should just ask Mizu... but then she heard something in the lobby. Stepping into the large room she saw Hiro, "Hey Hiro what are you doing out he--" What was that!? Tess saw a child looking creature of sorts a few feet in front of Hiro, "What is that..." she said dropping her clothes onto the lobby floor.

((Sorry really tired!))

Alistair heard Tessa approaching before she even reached him and this Rikku person. When she did reach them and spoke, he didn't wast any time at all in positioning himself between Tessa and Rikku. Glancing over his shoulder at Tessa for a moment, but not taking most of his attention off of Rikku. "It is dangerous, I think. You should return to your room and allow me to handle this." Though, Alistair wasn't entirely sure he could handle something like this on his own. He frowned a bit, waiting for Rikku to make the first move.

Kasimir was naked and in the shower when Mizu brought him the clothes. He thought about grabbing her and pulling her into the shower with him, but that didn't seem a good idea. He didn't want to make her mad. "Yea..thanks." He called as he scrubbed his hands through his hair when she said she had clothes. He bit his lip to keep from asking her to join him in the shower. He wouldn't force her. If she wanted to then good, if not..well he wasn't going to give her another reason to be mad at him or not trust him.

James blinked and quickly averted his eyes as Tessa stepped out of the bathroom clad only in a towel at first to grab the jeans and slightly small top. He was glad it wasn't anything like what the blue haired girl had chosen to wear today, but he still felt that the low, tight fitting jeans and short hemmed, form fitting top wasn't much better. Once she stepped out dressed, he picked up the clothes he'd been given and took his turn with the shower, frowning when he heard the door click closed. The vampire shrugged, his sister was a tough girl, and if she needed any help, she'd yell for him.

Sapphire eyes blinked, shocked that she hadn't been mauled or questioned once more to join him, and Hiro's words came to mind. Stepping from the bathroom to grab her clothes before moving back to the bathroom, she tossed the clothes on the counter next to his and slowly, nervously, removed her own dusty clothes. Inhaling deeply, she shyly tugged the curtain away. "I figured it'd save time, and incase you wanted any help..." She murmured with a bright red blush on her face as she slinked into the shower/tub but kept her back pressed to the wall till she had some other indication, sapphire eyes staring down at her feet and her arms wrapped around herself.

Rikku-chan rushed forward with downright vampire-like speed, jumping and slashing at Alistair's neck, saying, "You think you can handle me? What a crazy notion, and beleive me, I know crazy!"

Michael pushed away the documents and dishes, pleasantly full as he got up and went to the window, looking out into the ash filled night. He pulled out his phone to see if he had missed any calls, but he had not. He sighed in frustration, saying, "When are those monsters going to call me damn it?"

Hiro stepped between her and the childlike monster and she frowned, now she couldn't see it! Who was that thing and what was it? She'd never seen anything like that in all her days. She really wanted to get a closer look, but the child seemed dangerous and crazy. She certainly wouldn't go back to her room though, running away and leaving her friend here alone? She didn't think so. As the child lunged towards Hiro Tessa ran to push him out of the way. "Hiro!..." Cursing herself as they crashed to the ground, I forget vampires are so quick, he could have moved on his own... she thought, half scolding herself. Slightly in front of Hiro, she rolled over to see where the child had gone. Oh no, I left my weapons in the room! she realized. She had let her guard down way too much since James returned, why had she done that!?

Alistair had raised his hands, so that his arms would take the damage instead of his neck. If he had moved, Rikku would have landed on Tessa. There was no way the human could move fast enough to keep up with them. Though somehow she did manage to move fast enough. They crashed to the ground and he grunted slightly. This put them at a disadvantage. Alistair was on his feet in moments though, grabbing Tessa and pulling her up and shoving her towards her room. "Go. Now! Get the others and get away from this place!" His tone left no room for argument and he turned to face Rikku. "I may not be able to handle you, and you may kill me but I do not care as long as my friends are able to escape unharmed." Alistair had put himself between Rikku and Tessa again. Hoping this time she'd listen to him and go instead of doing something foolish again.

Kasimir blinked when Mizu joined him in the shower. That head tilting to the side slightly and then he grinned at her. "Hah. I knew you couldn't really resist me at all." He wriggled slightly, and raised a suggestive eyebrow at her before he grabbed her and pulled her close. Pressing his wet, naked body against hers. "Mmm." He nuzzled her neck and gave it a light nip.

Rikku-chan giggled, saying, "You want me to show mercy to your friends? Wow, and here I had hoped you had heard about what happened at the hospital on the radio, at least then I could mention it to give you an idea of what to expect from me in the mercy department, but it probably hasn't broadcasted yet, so I'll flat out tell you. At the hospital, I broke into the maternity ward, snuck into the room with all the babies... and killed them all. Chopped them up into itty bits, crushed them underfoot, and even used their Fresh-with-a-capital-F blood to leave a little message of 'Happy Birthday'... y'know... for irony." She giggled as she stepped closer before rushing past the two of them, running along the wall so that she was blocking their path to the rest of the hotel, putting their backs to the door as she said, "So tell me... you think I'll show any mercy? No, I'm going to kill and maim and butcher till I pass out! But you know what... you bore me, so I'll go kill your friends, m'kay?" With that she took off in a flash, running towards a random door and cut it apart before smashing through, looking around Mizu's empty room before smiling at hearing a shower on the other end of the room's other door. She ran to that one as well and gave it the same treatment as the last one, smashing into the bathroom, claws raised to strike shouting, "Aww, look at the lovely couple! And won't you two look even better once I go all Hitchcock Psycho on you!"

"I never said anything about mercy." Obviously this person didn't listen, but Alistair had only shrugged when Rikku spoke about the hospital and the slaughter there. The vampire had only hoped to distract this person long enough for Tessa to get the others out and away. Distract so his friends could escape. No matter. Alistair was fast, as vampires generally are and he was in Mizu's room only a second or so behind Rikku. Quick enough to grab Rikku around the waist to somewhat try and restrain the person before they could harm Kasimir or Mizu.

Kasimir had heard the door crash open but before he could react, the bathroom door was broken through. Kasimir immediately released Mizu. His eyes on the intruder and Alistair trying to restrain the strange person. "What the fuck?" Green eyes were narrowed and Kasimir glanced around for anything he could use as a weapon. Anything at all. "Mizu, get out now. Hiro and I will handle this..I think." He gave her a look that meant don't argue. Still he was weaponless and this person...he wasn't sure he could actually fight it.

In seconds Tess was being jerked to her feet and shoved towards the hall. Hiro had been wounded. She didn't want to leave him, but she clearly wasn't going to be of any help. She was running as fast as she could down the hall and burst into her room, "JAMES!" Hearing the shower, she began banging on the bathroom door, "JAMES! JAMES!!! COME OUT... HURRY! HIRO NEEDS YOU!" Before giving him the chance to respond she was in the hall again, rushing to Mizu's room she began banging on the door. "MIZU!" She heard commotion behind the door. No... "MIZU OPEN THE DOOR!!!" The child must have gotten into their room, did that mean Hiro... she didn't want to think about it. Clearly the child had gotten into their room another way. Tessa was running down the hall again towards the lobby. When she reached it she began looking around for a weapon.

Mizu flushed even darker as her hands went up to rest on his shoulder and tilted her head back in surrender. Jumping when she heard the twin crashes, she moved to hide behind Kasimir, peering over his shoulder to stare at Hiro holding...whatever that person was. Shivering not from cold, but more from sudden fear, she could feel an insane bloodlust coming from the childlike thing. "Just don't die."She growled as she grabbed the pair of baggy short, a black pair of swim trunks with dark red lines twisting along the bottom in some sort of celtic like design. She refused, absolutely refused, to run in the nude, and as she snagged the top she'd planned to wear, she bolted from the tub to the main room, wincing at the site of the crushed door, though it was short lived as she quickly snagged the two bags near the door. She reached the hallway, red shirt hanging around her neck as she shoved one arm through a hole, then the next when James had stepped out and helped her a little, bare feet mutely slapping against the thin carpeted floor. " Tessa! " She shouted, hoping to locate the girl, almost running into the other girl in the lobby. "Tess come on. I'm going to need you for something." Mizu ground out, she desperately wanted to go back, but she couldn't. She wouldn't get in the way. The petite blue haired girl grabbed one of the other girls hands and tugged lightly to get her to follow her up the stairs.

James jumped as he heard the door slam and then his sister shout for him and bang on the bathroom door. What the hell was going? He moved out of the shower and pulled on the clothes he'd been given, jeans and a dark grey tank top, before stepping out of the bathroom to see his sister running from Mizu's room to the lobby. He collected both of their weapons, stepping into the hallway just as move ran out partially dressed, but he offered to hold her stuff while she finished, then gave back her stuff and Tessa's weapons. His sister would need them. Watching the pair as they moved, and hoping they'd stay safe, he moved quickly into Mizu's room, surveying the damage to see what he could do. Grimacing as he saw Hiro with some creepy psycho child, he noticed, and wondered why Kasimir was still in the bathroom instead of going with the girls. It didn't matter though, but the kid probably needed a weapon, and he could lend one. "Blondie!"He yelled as he drew his only other weapon, a long blade, and threw it towards the nude male, before drawing his other blade.

(Sorry if it sucks >.> Distracted mind...)

Rikku-chan giggled, saying, "Uh oh, stranger danger, you shouldn't be touching a kid like this!" She followed that with a crushing kick at his shins and a simultaneous slamming back her head to try and break his nose, shouting, "Now let go so I can kill!"

Alistair hissed and grunted at the kick to his shins and the pain in his face as Rikku head butted him. The vampire didn't let go, instead his grip only tightened. Squeezing tightly at the person he was restraining. Alistair took a step back, dragging Rikku with him to give Kasimir some room, though he wasn't sure exactly what Kasimir was going to do. Hell, he wasn't even sure what he should do. Honestly, he should probably kill person. Eyes narrowed darkly. Lips drawn back and he snarled a bit, exposing his fangs as his grip tightened even more.

Kasimir really wasn't sure what to do, but Mizu had gotten out alright, for the moment that was all that mattered. His mind was running a mile a minute, hands clenched into tight fists. Kasimir looked ready to start beating on the person Alistair had restrained, though just before he started he looked up at James as the man yelled and tossed something at him. Instinct took over and Kasimir reached out to catch the blade almost easily by it's hilt. In seconds the tip of the blade was pressed to Rikku's throat. "Kill? If anyone is going to die, I think it's going to be you. Who are you and why are you attacking us?" Green eyes were narrowed, his voice was low and serious. He pressed the tip of the blade a bit more firmly against Rikku's throat, but not yet cutting.

Rikku-chan scoffed, spitting at Kasimir as she managed to free an arm, slicing at the blade, cutting it into pieces before plunging her claws into herself, through her chest and into Alistair, the claws extending long enough to go through them both and come out the other end, saying, "Why am I attacking you? Because I can!" She pulled her claws out of Alistair and herself, seemingly unaffected by them before slashing at Kasimir's neck, the claws extending long enough to slice cleanly through the wall behind him as she said, "If you two are trying to stop me, it'll take more than a flimsy blade and a bear hug to do it!"

Alistair gasped when Rikku plunged her claws through herself and him. He grunted and still managed to keep his arms around Rikku. Eyes widened slightly and Alistair moved back another step, pulling Rikku with him before his lips parted and he tilted his head down, biting into the side of Rikku's neck hard. Sinking his fangs deep into Rikku's flesh, biting hard as he growled deep in his throat.

Kasimir blinked when the blade was cut into pieces, when the claws came at him, he dropped down to his knees. The claws harmlessly going over his head, then Alistair had stepped back and bitten into Rikku. Kasimir chose that moment to attack, with the broken weapon, he would have to shove it hard for it to pierce Rikku's flesh. Quickly Kasimir leaned forward, one hand on the edge of the tub as he reached out to plunge the broken weapon hard and deeply into Rikku's side. With a grunt of effort, he put a lot of power behind that thrust.

Rikku-chan giggled as the two of them attacked her as both Alistair's teeth and Kasimir's blade failed to penetrate the shadowy substance covering her body as she said, "Morons, you can't pierce darkness! I am a shadow upon the night itself you thick f**ks!" With that she slashed at Kasimir again while kicking Alistair in the shins again, screaming, "Now let me go you freak, what are you, some kind of pedophile pervert or something! Lemme go!"

Tess was in the lobby desperately searching for a weapon when Miza appeared. She was happy to see she was alive and ok. Feeling the tug on her hand she followed Mizu with a quick "What's the plan?". Looking back down the hall towards their rooms she asked, "Mizu, where are Kasimir and Hiro?" She'd be happy upon entering the lobby to see that Hiro's body wasn't laying lifeless anywhere about the room. Frowning at the thought of that child she began feeling more angry than scared. If that child were here now, she'd sure give it a piece of her mind, picking on innocent people like this!

(Sorry... busy... school prep)

"Well, if she gets in your sight it's your problem... But if you harm her, I'll tell you now... None of your hunter abilities will help you. Because. I. Will. Hurt. You." she said with a tight smile and then turned on her heel and started to walk away. Her hair twitched behind her showing her annoyance and making a show of her walking. She didn't bother to turn, she kept her strides even and small so he could catch up easy. No problem for the long legged golden-eyed hunter. She flipped open her phone and checked, no updates.

Then her phone rang, making her shake her head in exasperation. She stopped and turned to watch Kayne. "I got it, meet me by the old motel district." she said and snapped it closed. Giving him a grin and a wink she crossed her arms and chuckled to herself. "Looks like they'll be bringing us what we need anyways."

(Just wanted to make sure you were alright. ^_^)

Kanye shrugged. He was impervious to threats, since they were almost an everyday occurrence in his line of work. "If you trust her then I mean her no harm but if she. . . catches my scent, that may change." As she walked off he placed his hands in his coat pockets and followed her silently before adding in a emotionless voice, "Oh and if she does attack me. Nothing you think you know, will stop me from killing her." Kanye had nothing against vampires who were under control but those that didn't use the minds that they had were the most immediate threats, though the one's that chose to use their heads were the most dangerous. Therefore he knew he had to always be on guard around them, no matter what.

Then when the blue haired goddess paused suddenly, so did he. She picked up her phone and judging from the conversation it seemed like they were good to go. "Then lead the way."

"She can't attack humans... It makes her sick. Her story is a bit like everyone elses. But she doesn't tell just anyone, and the only way she'd ever attack you is if she had to defend herself. So there are no worries..." she murmured as she turned back from the direction she came, fully intending to test this out. She could hire him as a merc is she needed to. And that would help with the attacks. She got within a few feet of the parking lot and sighed before letting out a low pitched whistle. Calling to Iyzebel.

When she heard the whistle, she became alert and dragged herself up from her bed. She looked at Liam and prayed to God he stayed asleep. She couldn't afford for him to find out anything. She waved her hand and the door unlocked and opened silently, she walked outside to see a man she didn't know and Divine, she sighed and walked down the stairs to meet them. She caught then scent of blood and her belly rumbled in need. She grit her teeth as she walked up in front of them, she didn't move too close. "Why is there a hunter here Divi?"

I highly doubt that things will work out so simply. . . "If you say so, I'll take your word on it." That was all he could say at that point. All that was left to be seen was what would happen, so he followed the woman silently keeping himself ready for anything at this point. When they reached their destination, Divine whistled, and apparently that was the signal to her client as a vampire showed up a few moments later. Instinctively, Kanye tried to cover his chest but it seemed a little late for that, as hunger flashed in the vampire's eyes. To his surprise the female vampire addressed Divine as Divi, which proved that they had a personal relationship. Still she didn't seem all too pleased with Kanye's presence. Figuring it would be best to allow his employer to speak the hunter kept his mouth sealed.

((<--- is still paying attention, but doesn't have time to post right now. I'll post tomorrow!))

(Now Kanye get's to meet the other crazy!)

"You sure you okay with him? You usually make a point not to be near guys, or have you finally gotten over that?" she asked softly as she waved for Divi to come closer. She'd missed her friend, and having been shot, she was scared of losing something again, but this time to her own death.

Divi walked up close and gave Iyzebel a hug, knowing that she was using her as an anchor until the blood got here. She often did this when she had gone too long without drinking. And Divine was normally the only person she allowed close, but she'd seen those two go into her room earlier and knew that it wasn't just her anymore. This made her happy and sad. She would miss being this woman's only companion, someone so important to her.

Iyzebel hissed and threw Divine behind her as she caught the scent of that murderer. Her stance was defensive and threatening. When would these issues end?

"So I see you've gotten help love... You told me to leave then, but I couldn't help but come back when I noticed that male here..." said Detric as he seemingly feel from the sky, his wings shifting and cracking as they folded in on themselves and drew back into his skin. He watched Iyzebel with growing interest, consorting with humans and apparently injured. He hadn't notice it earlier and felt bad for that. He should have been more aware of her well being than of her company.

Jaz heard the door slide close quietly. The blind girl was too curious - maybe Iyzebel needed some help or something. Slowly edging out of bed she headed toward the noise. She knew the general layout of the room, but she still managed to stumble over a piece of furniture.
Quietly (for she heard her brother's deep breathing) Jasmine slid outside, listening for Iyzebel. She heard something, followed, and found that she'd ended up near where everything was taking place. Clouded eyes narrowing, she wished she could see what was going on. There were a few unfamiliar voices. Perhaps I should go inside. . . .

Carefully avoiding anything that might make her fall on her face, Jaz listened to the conversation. There was a hiss of some sort (a vampire?!) and a male's voice followed with a threat. Resisting the urge to say something, the silver-haired girl swallowed and prayed that she hadn't just stumbled on a situation with a vampire. Being blind was such a disadvantage.

"Iyzebel?"

Kanye sat back in silence as the two women conversed about him. It was obvious that they had a legitimate relationship so there was no danger here. . . on Divine's part at least. Just as he was about to relax and let his guard down he heard the sound of wings and then a male's voice. Another vampire? Kanye turned around but kept his ground as the vampire landed. Honestly he wasn't quite sure which of the women he was talking to but he didn't care much at this point. He was definitely a threat.

"I think it would be wise for you not to make any sudden movements and the best thing for you to do would be to leave," Kanye announced calmly with an apparent edge in his tone. "I'm not too keen on conversing with anything I see as a threat, so chose your words wisely from here on out. . ." he finished. To be honest, the hunter's blood was boiling with excitement. It had been a little while since he actually had a real threat in front of him. Kanye stood there relaxed and calm, both expecting and hoping this would turn out to be a fight. Then he heard a voice coming from behind them calling to Iyzebel. He looked back there and noticed a young female who looked to be blind. Not good. . .

Iyzebel hissed her dissent and pulled Divine towards Jasmine, damning the fool who created this farce. She was going to have to defend one person at least, Divine was still a hunter at heart and could stake a vampire. But she knew Detric was crazy, homicidal crazy. She didn't want anyone's blood on her hands. "Jaz, sweetie, go inside... don't wake your brother. You're in danger." she said trying to conjure a spell to defend the girl, she was weak and still needed blood.

Divine pulled a whip from around her waist and hit a button, the air immediately became charged with electricity. She wasn't a fool nor was she defenseless. She was going to make sure Iyzebel was alright then move towards the girl. She might need help, only because she couldn't see those in front of her. She started to slowly walk backwards, tugging on the girls arm gently to get her to follow. Watching Kanye and Detric all the while.

"Aww, but that's no fun..." he said then was suddenly in Kanye's face. He laughed and grabbed the males hands. Holding them in a light grip, even should he manage to shot him with some silver bullets, it's not like he'd go down easy from them. He wanted to rip this guy apart, why was he near Iyzebel, what about her kept attracting these men?! He couldn't leave her alone for long, for fear some other male might just pop up. "Why don't you leave hunter, my wife and I have something to talk about..." he basically spat into Kanye's face, wanting the male to disappear.

"Let him go Detric! I promise I'll talk with you right here, right now if you won't hurt anyone of us here, or that may come here, and if they prove a threat you are to fly away. Please, I'm begging you!" she cried out the last part, on the verge of tears, her body and soul feeling weary and weak, when would it end?

This caused the male to stop, and shake before almost throwing the hunter away from him. He never could take Iyz's tears, and when they threatened, he felt weak as a babe and could deny her nothing. "Just don't cry, baby..."

(Sorry Kya, Iyz is mad at you... :oops: :cry:)
