[tCotR] Bill Alderman

[Kira]

Kira stared at the woman, "I could do some tracking powers but that's about it. Course I got my hands full with the mistakes." she said, looking off where they went to. "Then again, David was the one who made me do all of this in the first place." she had some mixed feelings about this. On one hand, she just wanted the man gone. On the other, she had fucked up and didn't make sure the man was dead. "Ah hell." she muttered, it was her fault but she knew the man wants her dead for what she did, couldn't rightly blame him of course.

"Mine? I hope David can take care of it. If I spend any more time with that man, I'm going to kill them all. But Reese..." Kira said.

Then the woman started to...get sick? What the hell? How could she get sick? What the hell was she suppose to do? This has to be some kind of mental thing. "Hum...throw up nothing or did you try to eat something.." she said, she was sure the friendly thing to do was try to comfort her but...she wasn't sure about getting that close.

[Serenity]

She shook her head, "No... didn't eat anything... just... feel really sick to my tummy..." she tried to shake off the feeling but she knew nothing would come up but blood and she didn't want to leave that behind along with the fact she had sired someone who likely wouldn't be making it through the night if she couldn't find him soon.

Slowly looking back up at Kira, "I.... suppose I could help you with David... but if he spanks me..." she tried not to turn red from the simple thought, it had been nothing more than a dare and somehow that dare had included her. "I mean... you two are still married right? So you can control him. Take your shirt off and distract him or something..." she saw nothing wrong with this theory course wouldn't help her with the second part of the issue seeing as David likely would become distracted and forget about the other vampire that was part of their family.

"We really should work on a new way for you to keep yourself safe..." course she was doubting her own way and theory of turning those who found out and letting them learn what was deem acceptable or not in their society. Those who didn't wish to blend in, she at least tried to pointed them in the right direction of others who felt the same way they did. Still how could she had gone so awfully wrong with this one. She shook her head.

"Let's get yours first..." she pulled out her cellphone, "maybe if we work as a team we can get this taken care of.... I am guessing you aren't going to kill the man but help him right?"

[Kira]

Tummy? Kira expected some other term from a medical person. She raised an eyebrow, "Spank you? Suppose give me just another reason to stab him." she said. Her eyes narrowed when Serenity said that they were still married. "I don't care what papers he has. We are not married, and my clothes stay on. He'd be far more distracted by some guy dropping his pants." she said.

"Keep myself safe?" she was a bit confused with this, though she wouldn't refuse the help. She needed someone else there that wasn't David. She sighed softly about what to do about him. "I don't agree with killing people for small mistakes, first mistakes...but damn, what the hell did he do to get such a high bounty." she said, "David wants to save him, Bill is his brother now.." she said, her hand twitched. "That's an awfully high bounty to try to fight off...the bounty hunters are bound to show up soon."

"Guess we should go find the males.." she muttered, heading off towards the way they had went. She slowed down, she hoped she wasn't walking into getting shot the hell up.

[Kira]

Bill stared, "Club? She tried to kill you too?" he asked.

David rolled his eyes did this guy really think he was the only one that Kira had screwed over and turned by 'some sort of mistake' "Yeah your looking at the first guy she ever tried to ******* kill."

"****...she makes a habit of this?" Bill said, "Why the hell you running around with her then?" he was still trying to see if this dude could be trusted. Why was he with the woman that killed them both, well maded them into something after trying to kill them.

"Who the **** do you think I used to find your ******* ***? I ain't your damn sire, you gonna have the family up on your *** wanting you dead for that bounty of yours."

"Bounty? Family?" Bill said, "She killed the family I knew. I don't know how any of this **** works." he paused. "And you're trying to save me? Why? Just because we're sorta kinda related?"


"**** she really didn't tell you **** did she?" David ran a hand through his hair as John finally caught up to them. "The family we're adopted too was cause of Kira's sire Mama Sisya. I'm the only one still part of it though. I would figure you would be allowed... I don't ******* know." he shook his head "But look man, the point is we gotta get your bounty down ******* fast. They won't care if you are a first timer"

"She thought I was dead. Be a little nuts to be talking to a dead body about being a damn vampire." Bill replied, "And it sounds like a shitty family I don't want to be a part of..." he paused. "Course can't really carry out any of my plans if I have my *** handed to me...again." he sighed. Sometimes he really wished he had died that night.

David held his hands out towards him, "Well I like them, they aren't for everyone though. Ya see that when ya get onto the CrowNet, not that I spend that much time on there." Putting his gun up he looked at him, "Ya need some blood man?"

Bill took a deep breath and let it out, still in a habit. He lowered his gun, he hadn't fed that much. He had a hard time thinking of human blood. "Yeah I guess...been raiding the chicken farm most of the time.." he said, looking back to where that woman had been.

David motioned towards John, "This is John." John nodded his head, "Yo man. Feel free to take a pint or two. Just be gentle" David gave him a slight nod of his head "yeah and don't let him wander off... still has the same effect."

Bill shook his head. "I-I can't...its just too weird. My first night I almost attacked someone...I just.." he said, "Why do I need to feed right now? You're the one going on about some bounty I need to lower before some people come to give me a smack down."

David, "dude the stronger your *** be the more likely ya be able to withstand the **** I'm going to show you."

Bill sighed. "Alright..just, just give me a moment." he said, he had seen rabbits running around this area of green that was off to the side. He headed off to find something else to feed on that was not human. He returned to the area. "Hum, show me what? Don't tell me there's more freaky ****.."

[Serenity]

She nodded her head some, she knew that Kira was right. There was no way with someone even with multiple people with such high bounties would keep them from doing the hunting. She ran after Kira following her down the street, "We should bring him to the QZ. We can teleport there..." she left out the fact that they might not end up in exactly the best location. "Hunt and herd the zombies perhaps... allowing him to hunt." She paused for a second, "and you have in the past kept people from entering locations so you could just do that again..." she was sure they wouldn't be too pleased but if it came down to it, she would let them know it was her idea and what she had suggested to try and save someone... to give them even a slight chance of making it out alive.

"Maybe you'll get lucky and they won't know his location right away..." she trailed off for a moment before they made their way to where David and John now stood alone, "Or.... he ran away... and we're going to be looking for him... well... you'll be...." she said looking at Kira. She left out the fact she was going to use Kira to play buffer for when and if she located her childe.... he clearly didn't want to be part of their family, she realized that now. "It is good that David isn't full of too many holes and it looks like John is fine as well..."

[Serenity]

David stared at Bill he ran a hand through his hair "Don't ******* run off, I don't want to chase your *** down again." He pulled out his cellphone texting Kira that everything was fine sending it just as John pointed out that she was pretty much already there. "Don't be ******* killing him."

John sighed and filled Kira in on the fact that David seemed to have talked the man down and they were going to work on lowering his bounty but he had to feed. "Which is completely your fault" muttered David throughout several points.

Kira nodded to Serenity, "I shall claim against the main people I can think of." she said, though if more than one vampire tonight had a high bounty, maybe they would be too tired to go after to many. When they reached where the males were at, she first thought that Bill had ran away. She glared at David, "I didn't say I was now did I? I haven't tried to finish my job on you after all." she replied coldly. "It's not my damn fault."

Though when Bill came out, him and Kira stared at each other. It was different now they were face to face. Bill's hands tightened up.

Kira, "Listen, Coco Puff over there explained everything. You want your chance to try to kick my ***, you need to not delay in the shadow realm. Getting rid of that bounty is what we need to be doing." Kira said, course she was trying to use her powers to calm the man down.

David grunted, "Kira is going to help, she promises to not kill you. Right?" he said given her a sharp looked.

"Fine, let's get this over with already." Bill muttered.

Serenity smiled softly at the two of them, "Well then that settles that... Hello... Bill... my name is Serenity. The plan..." she looked at Kira for a moment before looking at David, "Kira is going to make sure that hunters stay out of where we put you..." she said softly, "Without hurting anyone..." she looked at Kira, "While David and I are going to look for zombies for you to hunt... do you think you can work with your sire at least until we have your bounty down?"

Kira wondered why everyone kept looking at her like that. "I did not make any promises on the word hurt." she said.

Bill glared at Kira, but nodded to Serenity. "Yeah, until then." he replied.

Just what Kira needed, another guy trying to kill her. "Serenity, shall you teleport Bill and I get the other two.." she asked.

Serenity chewed her lower lip but nodded her head as she stepped closer to Bill before whispering, "I apologize if you end up anywhere strange... I'm not exactly talented in teleporting... anyone... including myself" With that she put a hand on his shoulder and he disappeared in front of them. "One down... I'm going to walk..." she said before turning and walking off.

John "I don't know if I should really be going... there..." he muttered under his breath. "I am a dad remember? A husband?"

David, put a hand on John's shoulder "So am I."

John "Yours don't count..."

Kira wondered if Serenity teleporting the man was the best idea after she heard that. Well if they get too lost somewhere, then she could go home right? She turned to John and David. "John far more important and can be seriously hurt. You heal, I'm not your wife. Like I want you around. I'm sure John's wife would like him home." she said, "Go ahead and go John. We have Lady Baron."

John took Kira by the shoulders and gave her hug "Thanks! My family thanks you for not making me a future zombie." He looked after Serenity "Yo Seren, I'll give you a ride part way." he motioned for her to come with him before waving off the other two... well three if you counted that spirit that he couldn't see.

David growled under his breath, "He can't become a zombie being under my control."

She turned and looked at John she hadn't gotten to far after all, but still she couldn't help but smile. "Thank you." she said bowing her head some as he lead her towards the car, John dropped her off at her cafe. Now she would be able to walk across the river and make her way inside. She paused for a moment, before texting Kira: Where are you?

Kira grabbed David's arm and teleported before he could protest. She let go of him, "Ah, Marcus?" she said, "Oh don't make me summon your ghostie ***."

"Give a man a moment to get over here.." Marcus said a bit grumpy, which made Kira jump.

[Kira]

Kira didn't know what building they were going to stick in, or where Bill and Serenity were at. She felt her phone and took it out of her pocket. She looked around at the old asylum, she quickly texted back: asylum, Bill with you and where are you?

"Whatever that was...I don't like it." Bill said, dusting himself off. He landed on a hospital bed but it filled the air with dust. He moved out of the room, taking out his gun. "Help me, they said. Now where the hell are they?"

Serenity shook her head at the text message as she replied with a simple: no.

Grabbing Kira's arm David dragged her not caring if she had enough of ahold on her cellphone in the process, "Come on. I hear him." he growled, "and if he keeps making that much ******* noise they're going to find him and I will blame your ***. Sending him on his own. What the hell were you thinking?"

"Stop blaming **** on me!" Kira hissed at him, "Let go!" she growled, trying to keep a hold of her phone, try to reply to Serenity and not trip over ****. "I told you before I didn't know he had been created." she snapped, moving forward instead of being dragged, jumping on his back. She had her arms around him to stay on, replied to Serenity saying "Pretty sure he's here with us." she hit send, she wanted to add, get over here before I kill David but of course he would struggle. She kicked the back of his knee and hopped off, walking off towards Bill like nothing happened. She started to claim the place, blocking people she knew to be bounty hunters from coming inside this building. "Bill, you see the dead things? More dead than ourselves." she said, "Kill them." she added, breaking the leg of one zombie so it wasn't as fast. "Have at it." she paused. "Marcus, please go search for more."

"Right.." Marcus said, floating off.

Bill stared. Those two were ******* nuts. He eyed the zombie after she broke the leg, taking aim at the head to kill it. "And how does this help?"

David grabbed Kira's head when she jumped on his back putting his armpit or at least as much as he could his reward, he was kicked enough to lose his balance that he fell to his knee as if he was to ask her to marry him again, "*****." He had to keep himself from shooting her for it but he was proud of himself that he had been able to do so. David got to his feet and followed after her.

Serenity made her way just in time she would of been out of breath had she not been a vampire, looking around. "Kira did you put up the barrier?"

David "Course she hasn't she's busy trying to be a sire now"

Serenity frowned, "but what if the hunters come?" she looked at Kira "We can't fight them when he has such a high bounty he's high risk."

David rolled his eyes and turned toward Bill, "shooting zombies has it's points with some dude called the Crow. The guy is like Santa you know the whole, I know when you been bad or good so be good for heaven's sake."

"For the love of the goddess, shut the hell up! I already did that, it doesn't take a dance and jig and a chant to claim a place against someone." Kira snapped, "I can't do any more claiming, past the teleporting and what I've done already, I'm all out of magic."

"Ah hell.." Bill said, hearing about the crow guy. "So...how much does that get me?"

Kira looked at the bounty again. "Get moving. You got a long way to go." she said.

Marcus returned, "North of here, there are a few." he said.

Bill glared at Kira but walked off to go kill the dead things.

Serenity looked down playing with the edge of the shirt "Sorry...." she mumbled.

David "Not like I have the damn power to know what the hell is required. You could at least make it look good"

Kira looked at Serenity. "I wasn't yelling at you. Always assume its him." she said, glaring at David. She rolled her eyes. "I only make things look good for my lounge and rituals. Dru is the one that does the shimmy shimmy for the shield." she said, doing a little shimmy. She kept an eye on the bounty. "Think he can kill something harder...this is going to take forever at this rate."

[Serenity]

David "Like it's my fault. I'll go look for a mooncalf, see if he can kill of those bad fuckers." he grinned "Oh lookie... I found one" he said pointing at the one within an arms reach of Kira.

Serenity nodded her head at what Kira has said about it being directed at David. She couldn't help but sigh in relief at the thought Kira and David were simply being Kira and David. "So... umm... you could see what he could handle couldn't you?" she said touching her temple. "And you really should weaken that Mooncalf for him..."

Kira stiffened, how did she not sense that thing coming. It gave her a big bear hug. "****.." she said. She managed to get her hand up and blind it with a ball of light. It dropped her back to her feet, She took out her bladed tonfa and sliced its neck open, well she thought it was its neck. She stepped back, looking at Serenity. "See what he can handle?" she didn't really want to. She called Bill over after she stabbed the Mooncalf in the leg a few times. "Here, try that."

Bill stared at her like she was crazy. What the hell was this thing? He emptied a whole clip into the thing, fighting it off, and got a good claw mark on his leg from it but it finally was dead on the floor. "I...don't like this. Those are hard.."

"Well they are worth more." Kira smirked. "Marcus..."

"On it.." Mark muttered and floated off to find more.

Serenity tilted her head, Kira clearly could handle the mooncalf well but Bill seemed to have a bit more trouble. "I don't think it's wise to have him fighting them... not without them being weakened first..."

David "Kira's the fighter. It's her task... after all had she paid better attention to what she was doing..."

Serenity beamed "should we try fadebeasts? If you lower it enough that would really help."

"Right, always make sure your murder victims are truly dead." Kira said with a nod. She looked to Serenity, "Oh hell no. Those damn things break me in half. Trying to weaken it will be a major problem..."

Bill grinned a little. "I want to see that.." he said.

Kira glared at him. "Shut up." she said, crossing her arms. "Stick to the ferals, zombies, and mooncalfs.."

Serenity beamed "but I can heal you... well I can stitch you up and everything!" Kira stared at Serenity, not amused. "Heal sure, rest of it, forget about it." she said. She walked off to go wound some other dead things for Bill.

David snorted "someone who likes hunting fadebeasts is scared now"

Serenity chewed her lower lip, "not sure that's the reason...." she looked at him, "Do you think it's a smart idea?"

David "**** yes"

Serenity nodded her head and closed her eyes, tracing runes in the air she summoned the fadebeast to her side and slowly sat down near it's edge "Kira! We have one for you to weaken for Bill!"

[Kira]

Kira rolled her eyes, "I do enjoy fighting them, don't really like a people watching. And I do always end up on the worse end of it." she said. Course she had caged fight before back in New York, had tons of people watching. She just didn't like people watching now. She froze, she had no say in this? Just ******* summoned it and say she had to weaken it. "Damn it.." she huffed. She put her tonfa back on her back, taking out her guns and ran up the nearest wall, firing at it. She landed on the ground, the thing came after her, she dodge its sets of arms. She casted hall of mirrors, making it confused as to what one was real so she could sneak another attack, exchanging her guns for her bladed tonfas. Two set of arms knocked her back into the wall, she hit the wall hard but landed on her feet.

She grinned, casting another power. The fadebeast screamed in pain. "How about I keep it distracted, you shot it." she said.

"I'd like to see it bleeding more than that before I get involved." Bill replied, watching the thing closely, his guns at the ready.

"Figures.." Kira muttered, she ran out of the way as it was pissed off now. She flipped over it, diving her blades into its back. Landing on the ground, she twirled around and slashed it again. It turned around, grabbing her arm and swing her down to the ground. She heard the bone break in her arm, second later the pain. She pulled against it anyway, pulling towards the creature to stab it in the stomach.

It was then Bill started to shot at the thing like crazy.

[Serenity]

Serenity had sat down and hadn't exactly planned that Kira would go right at it and soon that was followed by gunshots as she did the most illogical move, she screamed and buried her head into her lap.

David "Are you both ******* crazy... get her OUT of there BEFORE you shoot the thing full of ******* holes."

"Let...go...you damn...ugly...piece of ****." Kira muttered, trying to get her arm free, a bullet went through the beast's hand and into her arm. She growled, "Damn it.." Though being shot at, the fadebeast decided to go after what was hurting it now. It tossed Kira aside and went after Bill.

"****!" Bill said, turning and running around to get away from it.

Kira's green eyes watched for a moment, trying to fix her arm but she had no magic to fix it right now. She got up, doing the best she could with that arm and jumped on the fadebeast's back, digging her blade in and burning touched the creatures face. She pulled the blade down, trying to get its spine. It was slowing down, having a harder time moving. Kira jumped off.

Bill started to fire again. Its face riddled with holes until it slumped to the ground.

David growled again, he wasn't really a fighter but clearly Kira wasn't paying attention to what she was doing with the asian on the ground in almost a fetal position. He closed his eyes and focus on Kira to stand in front of Kira as if she was a shield given her just enough freedom to move and fight for herself. Once he saw Kira in position he made his way carefully to Serenity and knelt down near her, "Hey... you know it's not safe here right? We should go... I'm not sure how well my shield will hold up."

Serenity lifted her head up "If I move and it gets loose...." true she didn't want to be there but what choice did she really have on the matter? All she really knew was that she didn't dare to move, fadebeasts that were summoned couldn't attack those in that general area until they moved... and then with the way Kira and Bill were fighting... well she didn't really think it would be wise to move.

Kira tried to move but couldn't. "What the hell.." she said. She looked at the fadebeast, it might be on the ground but was it dead. "Bill...keep shooting. I can't help now." she said.

"What do you mean you can't help?" Bill asked "Why you just standing there?" the beast moved and he started to fill it with holes again.

"There's a certain dipshit that's most likely behind it...a power..." Kira muttered, trying to move still.

David "Hey not my fault you sired a lover not a fighter!" he snapped and then looked back at Serenity, "Look woman, you need to get up off your *** before Kira turns around and shoots my ***." he paused for a moment "Or she gets seriously hurt."

Serenity looked towards Kira, she seemed perfectly fine a bit upset with David again. "Are you hurt?" she took in the cuts and scrapes she had gotten from it, nothing seemed to dangerous wound wise but she wouldn't know for sure if she had something inside that was broken without looking more at her or if Kira herself told her.
