Kozlak stood motionless as Valena pulled him closer to her with object around hs neck. Smiling slightly as she whispered to him softly as their noses almost touch. As kissed his lips lightly startling him some as she rushed off to the upper landing and slid into one of the rooms. Laughing softly to himself as Valen disapeared.
"So hide and seek it is then." smiling to himself as he lept into the air landing on the railing of the second floor. Looking left and right not paying any notice to the drunkards and half naked women walking around. Hopping down on the landing he approached a door and opened it slowly and entered into the room closing the door behind him.

Valena found herself quickly lost in the many rooms that were in the brothel, her flight took her through several rooms whose inhabitants were still fully participating in precisely those things people visited. They were all blissfully occupied to notice the streak of fabric darting through their interlocked rooms, Valena knew that Kozlak was hot on her trail and she sped up some more, darting out of the room onto the balcony, jumping from the ledge to the large chandeliers drooping from the ornate ceiling launching herself over from one onto the other, making them swing precariously as she jumped from the last one into the purple and crimson drapes that were supposed to decorate the room and give it a more of a boudoir feeling. She slid down them easily before darting behind a large ornate painting, slipping into the owners private estate to hide.

*Marcus remained silent for a few moments after breaking the silence. The smell from the ground beneath had finally flutered up to his location. He inhaled deeply through his nostrils... Tasting the blood like he drank it himself. He lifted his head back and looked directly up into the sky... Ebony still watching him with what now seemed to be confusion... So young, and yet by herself... it began to tickle Marcus's curiosity... Exactly where had Ebony been all this time... She never occupied a room at the coven... Her aroma would've been remembered. Especially by Marcus, who knew even Kozlak had been to that place before.*
"What's your story Ebony... Where have you been for so long, and why have you decided to return to Valena now, and not years before. Forgive me for being direct... I'm curious, and would prefer to hear your story from your own lips, rather than I search your mind. I vowed not to search a companions memories, thus I am asking you for the explanation."
*Marcus looked straight out again, the moon high in the night sky... bright... Efficient at lighting the forest beneath and Ebony herself. She looked much better... her eyes bright once again... full of energy... Marcus sighed lightly and closed his eyes slowly momentarily before opening them again and looking at the moon in silence, he slid over slightly making room for ebony beside him.*
"Come sit next to me Ebony, it's a wonderous view from here, and it makes it a little more human to sit beside someone as they speak"
*Marcus spoke with a smile as he looked at Ebony when he spoke, patting the branch beside him playfully*

Ebony stared thoughtfully at Marcus as he had spoken her name quietly before, it seemed the elder vampire needed a moment to collect his thoughts before he spoke to her once again. Staring into space thoughtfully Ebony heard his words, registering the genuine curiosity in his question as well as the sincere apology when he mentioned his forwardness. Ebony chuckled softly as she flipped her spiky black hair out of her eyes, a delicate eyebrow raised slightly as she pondered where to begin, it wasn't like she didn't want to share her history, she would gladly bore Marcus with her lifes tale but he asked specifically to her ties to Valena and she deemed it best if she explained things from the moment she met the eccentric brunette. As she was pondering her beginnings and how to start off her tale she found herself staring absently at Marcus, his lips moved but his voice didn't fully got through her hazy thoughts, when he patted the branch beside him she got the point however. Getting up nimbly like a ballet dancer she stepped around the tree easily and onto Marcus's branch, lowering herself down onto the rough bark she crossed her legs at the ankles, swinging them back and forth casually. "So you want to know where I've been all along" she said more than she asked as she gave a playful little jab of her elbow into Marcus's side, her golden eyes glittering. She sighed, her hands twining into each other nervously "I had been hunting and moving around with Valena for a long while, we were both drawn to each others company I guess you could say, friends wise obviously as Valena has quite an eyeful for men" she snickered, thinking about poor Kozlak currently being hounded by her temperamental friend. "I've never quite come to terms with what I am, not as well as Valena has and she kept my more human side down I suppose, it was easier around her to hunt and feed on people, as she proved it to be so easy, she was always pushing me why it was so hard for me to accept what I was, what I have become." she paused as her thoughts flashed back. "My maker didn't intentionally turn me, it was a mistake I assume, I've met quite a few other vampires in my life, was actually accepted into a coven of sorts only to find out that my unintended transformation sent a pack of hunters after us all, they killed some of them, the rest blamed me and exiled me, I haven't met any of them since, but that's besides the point" she smiled at Marcus. "It was a fair few years ago that Valena and I were indulging into one of Valena's favourite sports, hunting clerical people, every once and a while she would turn into some devout believer in the greater power or something and blamed it on any religious person that her parents had never taken her serious about her vampire obsession and she would go out hunting priests and nuns." she smiled at the memory of hearing one of Valena's incessant rants about god and how he was cruel. "Somehow we stumbled upon a church of demonologists, clerical people that study the occult" she flicked a golden eyed glance at Marcus to see his reaction "inside one of their rooms I found a book containing information on every species they had the chance to examine so far, a large quantity in that book was dedicated to vampires in particular, how to kill them, torture, extract information they're compelled not to share" she muttered bitterly, she still remembered the pictures accompanying the scribbled words. "Inside that book was a small page on one unknown vampire who claimed to be able to survive purely on animal blood alone, I decided that this course of action would suit me better than having to kill people in order to survive, so I parted from Valena that night and set off to see if these claims had any truth in their foundation" she pointed down at the dead carcasses littering the floor "Obviously they are solid as I have been living on animal blood since then, it's been a hard transition, you need to kill more animals in order to completely fill you and it still isn't satisfying entirely, but you get used to it in a while" she smiled ruefully at Marcus as she shifted her weight on the branch an annoying twig tickling her marble skin. "Most of my solitary years were spent in the woods, sometimes I lingered closer to villages and other settlements of humans but accidents happen around humans and the scent of their blood still acts like a powerful incentive, more so when you completely abstain like I do" Ebony looked a bit sheepish at that. "It wasn't until I managed to control my blood lust around small villages that I began to feel lonely, maybe it was because I no longer had to focus so much on restraining myself at the smell or sight of blood, I figured now was a good a time as any to find my long lost friend, the one that actually stuck by me through a large part of my life" she smiled widely, golden eyes locked on Marcus's blue ones "That's basically it in a nutshell" she chuckled "Did it answer your question?" she teased.

*Marcus stared out at the moon as Ebony spoke.. not catching any of her glances or paying attention to her movements... just visualizing her life as she told it. By the end of it, his questions had been answered... for the most part.*
"Yes Ebony, so you're returning to Valena for sustainable comfort for your diet? or are you contemplating returning to the way they dine out there."
*Marcus turned his head with a jerk in the direction of the village, not exactly happy with what was going on in the quiet sleeping town. Not because of 2 vicious vampires being in the town, but because of what they were doing... More specifically Valena, but that would be a conversation between themselves and there was no need to bring it up to Ebony.*
"Aside from Valena, do you have reason to believe you may stay with us in this coven? Of course as a close dear friend of Valenas you would be welcome with open arms, but also as a friend of mine I would like to extend the invitation and hopefully you take it a little more serious coming from someone like me. You're a great pleasure to have in my company... You're true to yourself and true to me. You're not pretending... I mean, dusting off your clothes and fixing yourself down there before coming up here isn't a big deal."
*Marcus spoke with an occasional chuckle. Ebony certainly was a pleasure to have around... And he hoped it wasn't to be for a few nights before she decided she needed to move on.*
"You're a good person Ebony, Continue to be yourself, and be true. If someone gives you a problem in your new home, as long as you choose... you may come to me... Valena doesn't need to be your lifeline."
*Marcus rested a hand on Ebony's foot and looked into her eyes as he spoke, patting her foot lightly as he finished. The sincerity in his voice could be seen in his eyes... beginning to lose their own brightness... The bright blue dimmed down almost to a smokey blue. Marcus could feel it. He used a lot of energy today... first time in a very long while... Probably why he needed to feed himself... He reached around his waist almost to his back and came back with a vial of liquid... Blue in colour. The animals below were dead, perfect time to scounge up some of that remaining blood left over... however little it was...*
"If you'd like time alone up here to think about your future by all means, I will wait for you at the base of the tree, I must now dine on your leftovers."
*Marcus smiled as he tilted the vial at Ebony, an Elder feeding on Ebony's leftover animals.... She hopefully would take the compliment. Marcus flipped the cap off the vial and poured the liquid into his mouth before standing up. He gave Ebony one more look and whispered "take your time" before jumping from the branch high over the forest and down to the ground with a solid landing. Marcus went from dead animal to dead animal, draining the remaining dead blood from each animal. Mixing with the blue liquid in his system, his eyes slowly began to return to the bright blue of before... He finished his own food and stood tall, straightening his own clothing before turning around.*

As kozlak studied the room slowly noticing another door across the room. He swiftly made his way and opened it only to enter into another chamber where two people were on the bed. Closing the door behind him he made his way to the opposite door following Valena's scent. Kozlak made it to the final room only to see a group busy at work on one another. Not giving them more then a mere second of a glance Kozlak approached the door that would lead him back into the hallway. As he opened it and exited the room, he saw Valena jumping from chandelier to chandelier before leaping to the drapes, that she elegantly slid down. Smirking to himself as he watched her from the shadows of the corner, as she slid behind a ornate painting unknowning that kozlak was already in the main hall watching her from the shadows. Smiling to himself, Kozlak walked over to the edge of the balcony and lept off, floating to the main floor slowly and landing without a sound. Kozlak slowly made his way towards the painting Valena had slipped behind moments again, as he slowly pushed it aside and stepped inside.

Ebony pondered Marcus’s words quietly before she answered, choosing her wording carefully “I returned to find Valena for enjoyable company in my existence, I hope to maintain my eating habits as I have no inclination to return to feeding on humans” she paused, glancing at the small town that lay beyond the trees borders, she could make out all the tall chimneys that protruded above the houses, some of them still billowed smoke and Ebony vaguely wondered if it was merely a fire crackling in the hearth, or Valena and Kozlak, getting rid of the evidence of their night time feast. Ebony’s pixie like face scrounged up slightly at the idea of burning the bodies in their own home, she had never believed in cremations, she was brought up to believe ones soul could not pass on while its corporeal home was being burnt and scattered. When she continued to answer to Marcus’s well spoken words she found herself staring at the blue eyed elder vampire “I don’t have any intention of moving on, I planned on staying within this Coven, and with my friends here for as long as I am welcomed in your midst, I hadn’t been officially invited in by any of the elders of the mansion so I accept and rejoice in your invitation” she smiled and uttered a small giggle “Though that sounded incredibly heavy hearted, I really am glad that you at least think I would do well within the Coven, I try to be more like all the others, but the truth is I’ve been away from vampire society for so long that too much has changed, too many new rules implicated that I’m not entirely sure I’ll fit in smoothly, I’ll be sure to make a fair few mistakes” she giggled again. “thank you for accepting me as I am” she frowned, not sure if he would understand what she meant “If anything ever does go wrong, and Valena can’t help me, or refuses to help me for her own mysterious reasons, I will definitely seek out your company” she smiled. Ebony noted while she spoke that Marcus’s eyes had begun to dim in brightness, their clear blue like ice slowly mottling down to a shade more resembling a sapphire in shade of blues. It made her wonder what was wrong, maybe he was simply getting bored of her babbling on and on, it couldn’t be her company as he had praised it before so it might of been him being tired, Ebony wasn’t sure how elder vampires worked, she hadn’t been around long enough to be counted amongst them and she had never been in the company of one for a long time. With a pang of loss she thought of Chelsea, she didn’t notice Marcus reaching for something in his clothes as she remembered the white eyes of her first vampire elder, she smiled in reflex when Marcus spoke once more. She chuckled lightly at his words, not taking them all to serious, surely an elder vampire wouldn’t use her scraps as sustenance, when she glanced down however she was surprised to see her assumptions were wrong. Never in her whole existence would she of believed to be seeing this, surely when Valena would find out about this she would flay the skin of Ebony for not stopping the elder vampire from doing this, surely it would be more fitting to his stature to be feeding on his own prey she would say. Ebony could already hear the words her friend would hurl at her and Ebony decided then that she wouldn’t tell Valena anything about her evening with Marcus, not even under threat of torture because no matter what Ebony would tell her friend she would be given reprimands anyway. Sighing Ebony shifted on the branch, it was actually quite comfortable once one found the right way to perch on such a sturdy thing as an oaks branch, she stared at the nights sky, she had never thought she’d be able to find Valena so swiftly and then find herself in the pleasurable company of an elder vampire who seemed to genuinely like and appreciate her just the way she was, without having to pretend to be otherwise. Maybe the bad tidings of her life were going to take a turn at last, smiling to herself Ebony jumped down from the tree, landing smoothly on the grassy earth, landing lightly behind Marcus who straightened his clothing into impeccable perfection, she tapped him lightly on the shoulder “Ready to go back and face the horde?” she joked.
Valena’s quiet entrance was not as unnoticed as she had hoped, two unknown members lifted their heads from their victims, the brothels owner and her current lover. Flaming red hair darted through the rooms quietly, outmatching Valena’s quick paces until she stopped in front of the unknown vampire woman who had disturbed her and her mates feeding. Clad in a white dress, red curls cascading down her back in a sleek waterfall, red eyes glinting in delighted surprise as she lifted her veined marble hand to the brunette that skidded to a halt in front of her now, she smiled, revealing a pair of sharp canines, her partner blonde and cropped short stepped out behind the brunette, snaking an arm around the petite vampire that had disturbed them, a scream pierced the quiet for a split second before the male sank his teeth into Valena’s smooth white skin, cutting off her scream brutally as she sagged in the mans arms, His black eyes looked up at his mate, who waved her hand casually, lifting up the unconscious brunette they darted through the rooms, knowing this small little doll was currently being followed, the two of them would be able to provide them with the information they wanted. Dragging the unconscious Valena into another room as they waited for her companion to arrive.

*Marcus smirked as Ebony spoke... Facing the hoard...*
"I don't think so Ebony, but we certainly can return to the coven... I have little interesting in dealing with the fledglings located there... in fact..."
*Marcus turned his head towards town..*
"I need to speak with Adian before Valena returns... but I request to you that Adian and myself having a conversation about her will remain a secret... Something for the sake of the covens current state of being."
*Marcus returned his eyes to Ebonys as he spoke... Her sparkling topaz eyes locked on his... She must have had enough excitement for tonight... or perhaps Marcus' diet has dumbfounded her.*
"Well Ebony.. if you are ready, may I suggest a normal walk back? Or of course.... If you are in a hurry to deal with your clothing before Valena notices the tear..."
*Marcus ran his finger over the long sleeve of Ebony's Bolero where the tear was... It stretched a good 3 or 4 inches... And really... It was Marcus' finger running along Ebony's soft white arm underneath the shirt.*
"It could be a quicky fix if you'd like... or of course you can leave it how it is as a conversation topic with Valena..."
*Marcus caught himself at the end his statement...*
"We are to meet with them in a clearing to the west of the coven... We cannot quite go back yet so Valena is going to see it anyways.."
*Marcus looked for the moon through the foliage of tree branches and leaves... "Meet in the clearing to the west in thirty minutes."*
"How could I have forgotten that... Ebony, we're late already... We will need to move quicker than what I was hoping... You can of course return to the coven if you would rather... I can meet with Valena and Kozlak and give them some type of excuse as to why you are not with me."
*Marcus took a few steps towards the west side of the forest...unsure of where this clearing was but they had been seperated for nearly thirty five minutes already... Surely Kozlak and Valena would be curious as to why him and Ebony were late... Odd however... Marcus couldn't smell Valenas scent... Nor Kozlaks... Perhaps they disguised it... with human fragrances...*
"Ebony... can you detect either one of them? I am unable to but maybe there's something wrong with me..."

Ebony smiled when Marcus obviously picked up on her joke, it was easy to be herself around this elder, one who could appreciate jokes as well, she couldn’t really picture Kozlak or Adian to be cracking up at her little plays with words. A delicate eyebrow raised slightly when Marcus mentioned wanting a private conversation with Adian, she hm’ed to herself, it really wasn’t her place to object to that and she saw no valid reason to do it even if she could “I won’t tell Valena anything if you ask me to” she smiled, showing a slip of fang as her eyes glittered in sly amusement, it would absolutely kill her friend that Ebony knew something she didn’t, but if played right Valena would never find out, which was all the better as the short brunette had the tendency to latch onto things and not let up until she knew anything and everything. Ebony snickered softly, a golden bell like sound as Marcus mentioned walking back normally, until he mentioned the tear in her outfit, confused her eyebrows bunched together slightly in a frown until she too noticed the 4 inch rip in the delicate fabric of the bolero. “Well crap” she blurted out, raising her eyes back to Marcus as he ran his fingers down the length of the tear, her skin prickling as goosebumps appeared slowly “I think I’ll leave it as it is” she smiled, if she could blush she would. Ebony shrugged slightly at his next words “It’ll give her something to do in case her date with Kozlak went wrong” she snickered once more. She gazed into the direction he mentioned, wondering if they were already assembling there or if they were still detained as they were, she hoped for the latter one, she hated to be the last one at the proverbial party. “It’s not a big deal, Valena has plenty of clothes and she can easily fix this, I’ll grovel a bit to make her feel better and she’ll forgive me in the end, after all this isn’t my first encounter with her and I have ruined her clothes before” Ebony giggled as she looked back at Marcus who seemed distracted. Wondering what was up Ebony stared off in the same distance and tuned into the sounds of the forest, she frowned at his next words as she smelled the air around them tentatively. “I’m not sure, they seem to be in the village, but their scents are being masked by something…” she paused “Something strangely familiar” she turned her topaz eyes towards Marcus as they widened slightly, recognition dawning on her pixie like face “They’re here” she whispered to herself “but why” confusion spread clearly onto Ebonys features as she angled herself towards the village and began to walk towards it cautiously. “Marcus, there’s some… “ she frowned, searching for words “old friends of mine, in the village, I think they’re with Valena and Kozlak, but I don’t know why, you can go ahead to the clearing if you want and wait for them in hopes of them showing up, but I have to go and see if I’m right” she begged for understanding in the last part.

*Marcus took a moment to think over what could be done... Many options went through his mind but one stuck each time...*
"Ebony, as Kozlak is in town with people you know and we do not, I will be joining you to town... However... I will not follow you entirely... I will stay around, for the safety of you and Kozlak. I will most definitely not allow you to go entirely alone though."
*Marcus caught up to Ebony's side and matched her pace.*
"I hope you can accept that without frustration."

As Kozlak entered into the chambers where he had thought Valena had scurried off to he was presented with a vacant room with expection of the owner and his mistress dead on the bed. Kozlak's fangs showing now as his senses as he could smell two other vampires had carried Valena off to a far off room further into the building. Growling he took off and instantly was in the room with Valena and her capturs.
"What is the meaning of this!" Kozlak demanded as he took the two capturs by surprise from his sudden arrival, while his eyes darted to Valena to make sure she's still alright. "Now Answer me!" beginning to get impatient with them.

Valena remained woefully unconscious as she was being moved by the two mysterious vampires who had so rudely deprived her of her awareness by drawing her blood, a most painful experience for a vampire and likely the only way to render them incapacitated for a short while, only vampires were capable of doing it to one another and as it was a heinous act to do only a few of them resorted to the crude method. The redhead eyes flew up startled when Kozlak rushed into the room and demanded to be told what was going on, just as her mate settled down the unconscious brunette on a nearby couch of the living room of the dead woman a few rooms back. Holding up her marbled hands the red head made a pacifying gesture at Kozlak "Don't worry, she's fine" she spoke as she saw Kozlaks eyes dart concernedly towards the immobile form of Valena "She'll wake up momentarily" she said, and as if to prove her words Valena groaned weakly from where she had been laid to rest on the couch "We just need to ask her some questions" the woman continued, her voice warm and sultry as she flicked the cascading curls of red back over her shoulder casually "We didn't mean her any harm" she glanced at the two puncture marks on Valena's neck, still oozing some blood "not really anyway" she smirked. Her mate matched her expression with his own smirk, standing beside the redhead as they faced Kozlaks "I'm fairly sure it will all be explained soon" he spoke, his voice surprisingly soft and gentile.
Ebony forced herself to linger in the spot in the middle of the woods as Marcus contemplated her words, though his thought process didn't take more than a second it still felt like a second too much to Ebony, she wasn't sure if her sense of smell was somehow being fooled, but if it was true, she had to hurry, find out what they wanted and why. Valena was somehow being involved, probably because they smelled Ebony's scent on her, as she and Valena had been spending a lot of time together since the older vampire had come out of her self imposed seclusion. She listened impatiently to what Marcus was saying, nodding all the while he was talking, the more he spoke the more she agreed with what he said, and she knew the wisdom of his words even before he was going to say them as she had caught onto his train of thought the moment he started to explain what he wanted to do. "it's extremely acceptable Marcus, and I want to thank you for choosing to accompany me, in a way" she smiled "and I'm sorry if I seem a little skittish right now I just don't know what they're doing here or what they want from me or Valena" she paused, her forehead creasing in thought "or the coven for that matter" she added, her eyes momentarily glazing over as she pondered that line of thought. "Only one way to find out I guess" she smiled, though the sparkle of it never reached her eyes as she stared worriedly into the general direction of the village "There's no time like the present right?" she joked as she began to move silently and swiftly towards the village, knowing that Marcus was mirroring her movements beside her and a small distance away so not to alert the visiting vampires of his presence.

Kozlak glared at the two unknown vampires growling under his breath from them not answering his question. As he moved his gaze onto Valena who began to groan, putting his mind at ease slightly, knowing she'll be alright. Returning his gaze harsely on the two unknown vampires and slowly approached them going to retrieve Valena. Kozlak knelt down beside her unconscience body and lift her into his arms, turning to leave as the male vampire stood infront him blocking his path.
"Get out of my way, you have cause enough trouble as it is."
"Set her back down, we're just waiting for someone to answer some questions."
Kozlak smirked as his eye began to glow fiercly at the vampire that stood in front of him.
"You think I shall wait for someone so you can get some answers, when I gave you a question and you answered me in beat around the bush fashion. No I dont think so! Now step aside please." Kozlaks eyes beginning to grow brighter as he became more aggitated.
The male vampire looking to the other, shaking her head. as hewuickly returned his focus to vampire carrying the unconscience woman. "No I wont, so set the girl down and wait."
Kozlak's eyes flared and slung Valena over his shoulder and swung his arm across towards the male vampire in front of him so quickly it was just a blurr of movement. Kozlaks hand made contact with the vampires shoulder creating a loud thunderous noise that reverbrated through the building and out to the near by woods. Kozlak turned his head and watched as the male vampire slammed into the wall dazed but standing back up slowly.
"Now Im leaving or you give me my answers, and then I'll decide if I shall wait for this person your waiting for, final offer."

*Marcus moved like a mirror of Ebony's frame... almost right on top of her... Slight worry coming over Marcus's face. As the two vampires were seconds away from breaking the forests line a noise broke the silence... the sound of an earthquake, yet the earth didn't move... A light flickered in the movement of a large building. Obviously that is where it came from.*
"Ebony... there... That noise troubles me however... I can hear Kozlak, and he is not in a pleasent mood. I'm making my way to the chimney. The smoke and air being exhausted from it will cover my smell but keep me close enough that i can be there nearly instantly."
*Marcus began moving away from Ebony to another route towards the house.*
"Your time is limited before I make my entrance and join Kozlak... Use it wisely."
*Marcus seperated and vanished into the shadows leading to the other side of the building... As he disappeared from Ebony's sight he re-appeared almost instantly at the top of the house. Knelt down at the peak of the chimney... The smell of vampires, mixed with humans, dead and alive... and smoke easily distinguishable... one vampire extrememly weak... Valena. One with boiling blood... Kozlak...*
"This isn't good..."
*Marcus looked to the sky... The darkness beginning to show weakness to the light... Another hour... maybe two before it can become dangerous for Ebony and Valena... What a first night out...*

Valena was groggy, her head spun like there was no tomorrow and she felt so intensely tired, more like she had ever felt before, she knew it was from lack of blood as out of a silly protest against Adian taking up another vampire female as his favourite she had decided to go without feeding for a week, she had felt exactly the same way then as she did now, but that was impossible she had just fed, and fed well for that matter. Her eyes didn’t seem to want to cooperate, she tried to force them open but her body was resisting her with everything it got, almost like it wanted to just lie there and die into a pile of dust. Valena was vaguely aware of her body being lift, she groaned, at least that she could do, produce sound, maybe someone would understand she needed blood that way. Some muffled sound was trying to break through her hazy thoughts, she recognised one voice, it spoke harshly and with an edge to his voice as if he were angry, maybe he’s angry over me Valena wondered vaguely before her thoughts returned to her dried out body and how it hurt to be bloodless.
The redhead noted with a small pang of fear how this other vampire males eyes began to glow as he quarrelled with her mate, though he didn’t seem to want to understand that they needed the girl he was holding in his arms, but how could they explain without telling him something that might compromise the success of their actions? It was a dilemma and the curly redhead was wondering if it wouldn’t be better to tell this man after all, maybe he could help in some fashion. Just as she was about to intervene and tell her mate to stop antagonising the man he swung, the blow connected and a feral snarl ripped from the redheads throat as she watched her mate flung across the room and slammed into the wall, leaving a man sized dent in the wall. Scarlet eyes blazed as she launched herself across the room, landing defensively in front of her mate as he scrambled to his feet, a slight dazed look on his face.
“Fine” she snarled, bearing her sharp teeth at him.
Ebony was racing through the woods, she could smell the dawn approaching on the small morning breeze, it wouldn’t be long before this situation got extremely out of hand, but even then the sun was the least of her worries, if her senses were correct, and they had never failed her, there was more trouble going on inside the town right now, and possibly even more to come their way if things went sour. Ebony nearly crashed into a small spruce at the sound of thunder rolling through the town and into the woods, it wasn’t regular thunder that shook her frame however, someone was being thrown across a distance, a vampire by a vampire, that wasn’t good news at all. Speeding up Ebony tried to reach the house even quicker before things could get even worse than what they already were, she heard Marcus’s voice crystal clear as if he were right beside her, she nodded at his words “sounds like a plan” she spoke clearly back to him on a normal tone, knowing he would hear her perfectly clear “You’ll know when I need you” she sent a quick vibrant smile in his direction before he launched off into the night to follow his own route. Legs pumping Ebony found herself racing towards the house, she rammed the door down in midstride as she reached the house, it broke open with a loud crack and landed not too quietly on the floor of the small hallway as she crushed it beneath her still moving feet. She had to slow down quite a bit to manoeuvre through the house until she was outside the room laden with built up tension between the vampires inside. A familiar voice pierced the silence inside “Fine” it snarled, Ebony took a breath and swung the door open forcibly “Fine what Katherine?” she asked venomously.
Scarlet eyes moved slowly to Ebony “I was just about to tell this man here why we abducted this delicious little vampire who smells so much like you” she smiled as she indicated the unconscious form of Valena, laying within Kozlaks arms. Ebony’s golden eyes darkened to a scorching ochre “what have you done to my friend?” she hissed, bearing her teeth as she felt the presence of Marcus coming closer as well as tension rolling from Kozlak who kept his eyes wearily on Katherines counterpart Abel. “I drained her” Abel spoke dispassionately “Seemed like the only way she was going to cooperate with us and we really need to talk to you” he stressed the last words as Katherine pasted a smile onto her veined porcelain features. Ebonys face scrounged up in disgust “That’s an abdominal thing to do Abel, you could of killed her! she’s not old enough to be drained you fool” she spat as she hurried across the room towards Valena “ She’ll need blood quick” she spoke to Kozlak, completely forgetting decorum and ordering him around. She turned on her heel smartly and faced the two vampires “I think you should leave” she said plainly, an eyebrow arched slightly as she crossed her arms defiantly. “Whose going to make me?” Abel threatened softly as Katherine placed a placating hand on his arm “If you’ll just hear us out, please?“ she begged. Ebony snorted “That’s not for me to decide” she stared pointedly at Kozlak and waited for Marcus to make his entrance, having undoubtedly heard this exchange of words.
