Adrien laughed. "I guess I am. I like to know the people I hunt with. I don't normally hunt with others, so I need to know that you're trustworthy." He walked behind her and looked when she told him how old she was. "Hm, you're quite old, aren't you?" He said, trying to get some kind of reaction out of her. "I'm 425. I was changed when I was 21. Wow, we could be brother and sister." He chuckled lightly. " Where did you live when you got changed? And who changed you?"

Belle heaved a sigh and pinched the bridge of her nose. Never had she met a Vampire that liked to talk while hunting. But she couldn't help smiling at his personality. "If I'm old, that would make you grandfather Moses, no?" she asked with a smirk. "I lived in France," she continued stopping briefly to sniff that air for the scent of the humans. "A man named Jean-Claude changed me. You are...british?" she asked, the question turning onto a growl when a lone werewolf emerged from the shadows, baring it's teeth at them.

((Sorry I been gone, I celebrate New Years... hard... Had a lil too much to drink xD Then another party. Ish back now!))

Tawny smiled at Raito as he asked what she was doing. She came a bit closer before replying. "I'm following a friend. It's never good to be alone out here. Anyway. I don't think you could fight with your arms like that. I'm here to protect you if it's needed." She said this in such a way that she hoped Raito wouldn't have his pride hurt. She knew that some guys were very picky about being 'protected', especially by a girl.

(( sorry ive been gone so long! my vacation was a bit longer than planned! ))

lilith continued walking through the city and got wide eyed when she found two other vampires talking. she stayed hidden behind a vacant car so they wouldnt notice her and listened in on the conversation.

"oh." Raito murmured, "I thank you for your consideration, but I'll be fine...though I doubt you can turn back now. I'm sure my blood's attracted more than the one vampire." He turned his eyes to the side, noting the openings and escape ways. "I think a surprise attack might work here, my scent should cover yours. Especially since I'm bleeding. They shouldn't be to far away so..." He trailed off, hoping she knew what he was implying.

just then the smell of human blood filled liliths nose with pleasure. she stayed silent and quickly headed in the general direction she found it. she smiled and licked her lips when she found a human boy and girl talking. 'haha i got you now' she thought. she skipped up and over to them and looked at them hungrily. "tasty tasty warm and sweet fills me up from my head to my feet" she sang as she danced around them. "so? whos first?" she licked her lips again.

Tawny brandished her stake again. She dropped into a shallow fighting stance and followed the vampire girl only with her eyes. "Leave here now if you wish to leave here at all." She hated bargaining but if they fought now there'd be a chance that Raito would be hurt. She couldn't risk that. "Sorry Raito, your plan isn't going to work." She added as an afterthought, still watching the vampire girl.

lilith's eyes lit up in exitment at the human girls challange."oh! you think i would make such a bargain with a human!?" lilith laughed like a child and danced around them "oooh! such a pretty peice of weaponry! and...what do you plan on doing with it, my love?" she asked as her head tilted with curiosity. she eyed the boy on the ground, having to hold herself back from leaping onto him and feeding just yet. her mother always said she had a nag for playing with her food, but she loved doing it no matter how much she was told not to.

((i'm...confused...why's Raito on the ground?))

Raito shrugged, "Didn't expect one to show up so soon..." He watched warily as the vampire danced around them in circles, "Anything I can help with?" He asked softly, sliding into a more comfortable stance in case the vampire decided to jump him first, after all his wounds weren't going to be healing anytime soon, not if the blood covering his hands were any indication.

(( hes not on the ground? oh ok sorry. must have misread something earlier. my bad ))

lilith turned to the boy with excitment. "and what is your name, my love?" she asked with some curiosity but mostly hunger. lilith was starving and couldnt help but notice her mouth watering at the mettalic smell in the air.

Balthazar sat watching Raito and tawny's exchange with the vampire, wondering when he should step in to help. He wasn't used to seeing other people around, having been alone since the attacks. even though he had made it to the cattacombs he had yet to meet others, -finally he thought as he saw raito and tawny.- He was behind the vampire and tried to get the girls attention who was standing next to the boy who was bleeding it seemed.

"Raito." He answered. Even if she was a vampire it was rude to ignore someone when they asked you a question. Though maybe manners shouldn't have been the first things on his mind...he just didn't want to be bitten by a vampire again, those bites seriously hurt. He flinched slightly at the memory and the wounds on his arms burned slightly to remind him of the venom that was within those bites. No, definitely not fun.

lilith giggled. "such a pretty name...ratio" she twirled around for awile then remembered she hadnt introduced herself. "and my name is lilith." she said smiling widely showing a pair of deadly sharp vampire fangs. "now if you wouldnt mind...please come here so i can feast upon you..."

((lol you typed Ratio...it's Raito ^^ the 'i' comes before the 't'. My friend made the same mistake when she was reading my character's name :sweat:))

Raito tensed out of reflex, "Actually I do mind. I'd rather not get...bitten." Raito swallowed, his throat was suddenly parched and his palms were getting clammy. Right...Tawny was distracted by something and the vampire was getting awfully close. He took another deep breath, this was not going to be pretty.

lilith watched raito act a bit wierd and took a few more steps toward him ready for the kill. lilith didnt want to play anymore. her stomache was growling and the night was young. "come now. i'll make it fast. i'll even turn you if that is what you wish of."

(( realy? sorry then...^^" ))

Raito took a small step back, "No thanks, I value my humanity." He didn't know if any of his previous...wounds...would affect anything but he wasn't about to let that theory be tested. Maybe if he could distract her. He quickly tugged his hoodie back off, he had spares so it would be fine. "Sorry." he whispered to tawny and then lobbed the bloodied hoodie at Lilith and then turned and ran a few feet before pausing to check and see if the vampire would take the bait.

lilith grabbed the hoodie with one hand when he threw it but decided to stay in place. it was soaked with semi-fresh blood on the sleeves.lilith shrugged, "not great but good enough." she smiled. liliths eyes twinkled and she turned in place and walked away. no way was she going as far as chasing down prey. it had to come to her or she wouldnt bite. she didnt bother to ask the human girl for a bite because it looked so distasteful that she would even dare licking the poor creature.

walking down the street, lilith saw many animals but didnt like their blood at all. "goodness. im picky." she said to herself putting a finger on her jawline. she hurried home and drained what blood she could into a storage bin. "yum just smell the AB-. " she winked at the bin and sealed it shut. she put the bin in a tub of boiling water and waited paitently for her own version of a human microwaved meal to be ready.

Well that was...easy. Raito walked back towards Tawny, finally noticing the other boy. He cast a worried glance to his arms, the bandages were completely soaked through. He would need to change them but...his gaze went back up to the other two survivors. What would they think when they saw the marks? He stood for a moment and then sighed, this was pointless. He pulled the extra bandages from his pockets and sat down where he was standing, quickly peeling the sullied bandages off one arm before they stuck to his flesh. His eyes took in the damage and he sucked in a breath, okay...that wasn't good. His arm was littered with bite marks, both vampire and werewolf. And it wasn't pretty. The bites overlapped in some places and well, it was obvious he had been bitten more than once. That wasn't the part that he was worried about though.

He gulped, the skin around one of the vampire bites was turning paler than normal. "I must have misjudged the amount of venom." he muttered. he pulled out a bottle of alcohol from his other pocket and unscrewed it quickly before dumping half the bottle over his arm, biting his tongue to keep from hissing out loud. After the alcohol had all but dried off his arm he pulled a needle from his pocket, filled with a murky-ish liquid. then inserted it into his arm, looking away as he injected it into his arm. Then he quickly wrapped his arm back up with fresh bandages. He repeated the process with his other arm, minus the whole sticking a needle into his arm. When he was finished he picked up the bloody bandages and put them in a pile. Then he lit it on fire with a lighter he pulled from a back pocket. After it was done burning he threw a handful of dirt on it to cover it up, then he dumped the rest of the alcohol over his hands and the spot where blood had congealed on the floor.

He sighed again when everything was completely done. Only then did he raise his eyes back to Tawny and the other boy. He silently waited for them to speak, dusting off his sleeveless shirt and a bit of his pants.

((this has got to be my longest post ever XD))

Belle groaned at the Werewolf that stood between them and the bleeding humans, wherever they might be now. She stalked forward, her hands twisting into claws as she sniffed that air around him to gauge his age. It was difficult to pinpoint how long he'd been a Were, but she didn't think he was too old; he probably even though she and Adrien were humans. Stupid mutt, she thought as she lunged at the Werewolf, ducking under his snapping jaw to smash the side of her hand into his windpipe. The wolf howled and scrambled backwards gagging and trying to draw air into his lungs. With three wide steps she stranding in front of him again and twirled around to deliver a kick to its face. The sound of it' neck breaking made her smile; she hated Werewolves.
"Now then," she said while brushing her hands together. "If we really want to catch these humans I'd say we hurry it up. It seems that the one I've been tracking has either vanished or he's covering up his scent with something. And I'm starving." Without another word she turned on her hells and darted down the street, letting her nose guide her to the humans. At the last corner she stopped and instead climbed up onto the roof of a nearby house. Crouching low in the shadows she edged towards the faint smell of blood. A peek over the corner revealed there were three humans now, and her mouth salivated at the sight.

Balthazar looked at the two other survivers, eyes staying on raito's wounds. "you really should get those checked out" he said condisendingly. Taking off his sweatshirt he threw it at the boy "here this should help atleast for a bit" "Hi my name's Balthazar, and yours are?" Balthazar stayed away not getting to close since he had no idea who they were.

Finally Tawny looked to the other boy. She'd been distracted, yes, but it was by something important. For a few seconds she'd realized that down the street, where they'd been before, there was very little fighting going on. The other vampire had almost completely wiped out or scared away the werewolves. Now she took him in. He appeared human, though she'd never met him before.

Without seeming to look at Raito's wounds at all, and appearing as if she were inspecting Balthazar, Tawny realized that getting them 'checked out' as he'd said would be a very bad idea. "Tawny." She replied when he asked their names. "And getting those checked out would be a very bad thing. It wouldn't end very well for Raito." As she spoke, her eyes never left his and the words were spoken in the same condescending tone he'd used. She raised herself to her full 5 feet 2 inches and loosened her hold on the stake in her hand in a very obvious way.

"So Tawny and Raito, Hello" Balthazar said giving a slightly mocking bow. "If he can keep those bites under control then i think that it'll be ok, pretty little weapon you got there." he said glancing at the stake, "i prefer knives myself." pulling a knife out from his pocket and flipping it in his hand. He walked into full few so that Tawny and raito could see him fully, he wore a sleeveless black t-shirt and army cargo pants.

Tawny liked this guy. He was the type to think he was better, she would enjoy bringing him back to the catacombs and introducing him to the others. If he thought he was better then she'd give him more work. It'd be good for everyone. "Can't stake a vampire with a knife and silver is deadly to werewolves. Got all the bases covered." Her tone suggested that carrying a weapon that would only be effective against one type of beast wasn't very intelligent.

For a moment, Tawny turned her head and eyes to Raito. She held out one hand, held straight, to help him up. Leaving it like this, she turned her head back to Balthazar. "I'm going to call you Bal. It's much easier to say in a fight." She shrugged. "We need to get him, and us, back to the Catacombs. Are you going to help or just stand there like you think you're better?" She liked getting fights for dominance out of the way early.

“A stake Is good for killing those vampire and werewolves, but it won’t do much good killing an animal... To clumsy” Balthazar said giving tawny a slight smirk, knowing what she used would help in a battle. He put his knife back into his back pocket; he took a few steps towards them although he seemed confident he stayed back a bit hiding his shyness.

“If I’m Bal then your tawn,” he said chuckling “The catacombs huh? Interesting.” Looking off a bit in thought. “Might as well get moving i guess can’t stay in one place to long.” “I’ll grab my things, you can follow if you want, get out of the street.” He said turning back into the building.

"Fine. Tawn it is."She smiled then laughed quietly for a moment. She then reached behind her with the hand holding the stake and pulled her near empty bag in front of her. Her stake had disappeared in the process and was gone just as fast as she'd made it appear. So did the happy expression that had taken place on her face. "Well, before we go, is there anyplace that you know of that still has supplies left? That's why we came up, supply run. I've not been in this area of town since before they took over so I don't know what's left." She'd been in the process of grabbing bottled water when she'd heard Raito being attacked. She'd deserted the process and run to him and hadn't had a chance to go back. She only had a few bottles.
