Path of the Vampire forum

Skiff was good at anticipating her attacks and Raksha couldn't deny his skill. He had trained well and it was something that she appreciated. He seemed to accept her explanation about the weapons but logic always seemed to win. Brains, brawn, talented with a blade were only a few features of this man that were drew her attention to admire him.

Ducking and weaving as he began to swing wildly. He was either annoyed or angered that he was missing an eye. Giving the shake of her blade in one quick motion to remove the eye ball from the tip as she prepared for her next attack only to let her eyes drift off of him for one moment. A moment was all that it took for him to land his blade across her face. Taking a step back from him as she put her hand up to her face for just a second only for her force her attention back to him to ensure that she didn't miss another attack but she noticed that her vision was impaired. "Damn it!" Growling, she reached down to grab the eye quickly that had fallen from her blade and shoved it in her pocket.

Raksha had the idea that she needed to distract him so she began to move back and forth almost in a dance fashion. She continued these movements until she found an opportunity. Moving toward him almost seductively, her now single eye remained on him before she turned quickly as she brought her blade up. In a quick swift motion, she dropped the blade down and landed it square into his back between the shoulder blades. Smirking as she pulled the dagger from his back, Raksha took a few steps back to prepare herself as she stood in a solid stance that would allow her to move quickly. "Material items are great but not always personal. The eye is a physical part of you that can be well preserved. Why not keep it?"

Skiff wasn't usually one to be distracted, however the way she was moving her body understandably did just that, enough so she was able to slip past his guard, planting her dagger in his back. A low growl from slipped from his lips at the pain, he watched her dance away. With another flurry of strikes, all of which he was amazed that she dodged. Bring his sword in an overhand strike he heard the sound of metal on metal. With a step and a twist of his wrist he felt sword bite deep into her forearm as slid off the defending dagger. Using the movement to step into her space, he grabs her by her shirt slamming her into the wall. Sliding his body so he can trap their blades between their bodies.

I think play time should be over, unless it is a fight to the death your looking for. I sincerly hope not as it would be a pointless death. Your talented with that dagger, highness. Sliding his leg against hers to stop the knee he knew was coming. I would rather keep those intact if you don't mind. Never know I might find a use for them.

The growl that escaped him was music to her ears as she continued to dodge his incoming attacks. It was when their blades struck each other that she knew that it would be a fight to get the next hit on him. She pushed against his blade but this him actually having a sword, her dagger was lacking and that proved itself to her the moment the sword dug deep into her arm. A scream of agony escaped her like a Siren's call to sailor as the sword sliced down her forearm. Her eyes met his with a deep growl but as he grabbed her shirt and slammed her into the wall, any air that might have resided in her lungs vanished like vapor and her growl came to an end.

Blood dripped deep and red onto the floor while he pressed his body to hers. If he wanted to be up close and personal, all he had to do was ask but nope...here they were with the blades pressed between them so she couldn't stab him again. Raksha tried to push him off but to no avail as he was clearly stronger than her. Made her wonder what path the Gods had grated him to make him more powerful than her or at least stronger. His words slithered through her ears as she looked at him before shaking her head. "Would it really be that easy to reach the level of death? I don't think we hit any major organs to come to that worry just yet but no...not to the death." She moved her leg slightly and she realized she still had mobility there so she would give him a quick hard kneeing in the bits but he quickly anticipated that as he pressed his leg to hers. Snorting before she spoke. "Fine keep them and by the way...you can call me Raksha."

Skiff didn't relax at all his body still pressing against hers, he slowly moved his head closer to her his face mere inches from hers. He could feel her breath on his lips, smell the blood on her. "Well then Raksha, here you are pinned to a wall, yet I would be a fool to believe you defenseless" he said his voice low. "If I release you now you would attack with your knife, or would you?" Pushing harder against her he knew the sword was digging into her arm. "Maybe you would us magic on me, it's not against the rules. With the placement of my sword right now it wouldn't take much to remove the arm. Or if you choose we can stop, the choice as well as the consequences are yours." Leaning his head forward he licked some of the blood that had dripped from her ruined eye. Moving back to bring his eye to hers, he held here there, curious to see what she would do

He had pressed harder into her, keeping her from making a move as he leaned his face towards her. His lips weren't far from hers and as he spoke, she could feel the breath that moved passed his lips upon her own. She wasn't sure if he was going to kiss her or bite her but Raksha found it fascinating that he thought out loud. Her good eye watched him as she listened to his voice now silk upon her ears. How would she act if he let her go, that was a wonder to herself but only way to know was for him to actually set her free.

Closer he got, the more she had started to yearn for him to just plant a kiss but instead he licked the blood from her face. Snorting with a soft chuckle to follow because he was as dark as she was and that was refreshing. Carefully, she moved her hand that was void of a weapon free. He make the mistake of informing her that powers weren't removed from the table. While he was up close and personal, she smirked as her free hand wrapped around his neck. Pulling him closer, her lips pressed against his as she kissed him deeply while she focused her remaining energy into her hand. Slowly her hand began to glow red hot as she burned the back of his neck. Holding him until he couldn't bare it any longer, leaving a nice print of her hand on the back of his neck. Nipping at his lip before she let go of her grasp of his neck, letting her hand fall to her side. "Sometimes you talk to much but it's nice to know what you are thinking. I appreciate the permission on using powers..."

The kiss took him by surprise, and he would be lying if he said he didn't enjoy it. He felt the searing heat of her hand on the back of his neck, hissing in pain when she pulled back from the kiss. The feel of her body against him, the kiss and the pain gave him an answer. His eyes never leaving hers he releases her shirt , his hand traveled up to her neck. He pressed closer to him letting her feel his reaction to the kiss, his hand squeezing her throat. All is fair. Bringing his head down squeezing tighter as he kissed her, his lips hard on hers. Even though he was enjoying the kiss he made sure to keep her pinned against the wall, breaking the kiss yet not releasing her neck. Easing the pressure just enough for her to breath, he nipped at her lip pulling back till is slide from between his teeth. "Two can play that game" Sliding his hand down from her throat he claws sink into her skin just above her breast, taking her mouth in another kiss, pushing them deep. Pulling them out he licks the blood from them, enjoying the turn of events

He accepted the game that she finished when he teased her lips that allowed her to kiss him. The few deep kisses that assaulted her lips and as much as she enjoyed the romantic tussle between them, she wanted to gain her freedom from against the wall. Nipping at his lips as he allowed his to assault her own once again, her eye drifted up at him as if she was in a fog but she needed to focus. Skiff was good looking and she wouldn't deny that. As much as she liked they game they played, Raksha now determined that he was hers.

Her eye searched his quickly as he spoke only for her thoughts to be interrupted once again with his lips pressing against hers. A light whimper followed by a chuckle escaped her as his claws dug deep into her chest. Fair play. Her hand that held the dagger, broke free and she tried to stab him in the side only for her to lose her grip and drop the dagger to the floor the deeper his claws dug in. What she didn't expect was that he would lick the blood off of his claws once he removed them from her body. Fascinated that he was just as twisted as she was. "I have a feeling that there will never be a dull moment from here on out. So where do we go from here?"

Skiff chuckled as backed away having heard the dagger hit the floor, swinging his sword to clear the blood from it. Taking a couple of steps back he shrugs his backpack off. Kneeling down he rummages through it for a moment before he pulling a clean white cloth out tying it around his head draping it so it covers his missing eye. Reaching into the pack he takes out another moving to do the same for Raksha."Your quick on your feet. It was a fun match, though that thing with the hand was sneaky." Moving over to the backpack again he pulls out a leather duster. Picking up the backpack again he slings it over his shoulder, holding the coat out to Raksha. "If you take this to a tailor, they should be able to resize it. As I said alls fair" Cradling the sword in his arm, he moved to pick up her dagger handing it to her.

"I have a feeling that there will never be a dull moment from here on out. So where do we go from here?"

"Dull moment... well I have been called a lot of things, most of them unflattering. However I don't think dull was ever one of them. As for where we go from here? I am tempted to say to bed, however that would be moving faster then either of us are ready for at the moment" he said with a smirk. "I want to be able to see all of you when we do get the far... with both my eyes."

He pulled away... Raksha was feeling they were going for a tryst in the corner of the the lobby but it was probably good for everyone. The fight was clearly over and if it wasn't, she would have to depend on her powers until she could get a hold of her dagger once again anyway and he had the upper hand. Nodding as he pulled away and watched as he tried to clear what blood he could from his sword but he would have to wipe it down to clear off what remained. Skiff was prepared and she would give him credit for that as he pulled out the white cloths to cover his injured eye before he did the same to her. Him caring for her wound wasn't something that she had expected but was grateful for. "Thank you but you did give me permission to use my powers so, I wanted to show what I could do. Also thank you for the bandage, to bad it's not pirate day. I could pull off a mean eye patch."

She snorted at the thought but what he did next, she didn't expect. Her good eye watched as he held out the jacket for her. Carefully reaching out and taking the jacket. A duster, a bit long for her taste but it would do for now. "Maybe we can look for a biker jacket later but I am grateful for the offer. No need for you to lose a jacket yourself." Slipping on the oversize jacket and took notice that it smelled like him. Maybe she would keep it for sometime. Taking the dagger as it was handed to her and placed it in her boot. He definitely wasn't dull and she appreciated it or she would have to kill him to rid herself of an eternity of boredom.

Perking her brow as he said that he was tempted to taking her to bed but that would be moving to fast. Chuckling at the thought but he made a point when he stated he wanted to see her with both eyes. "That takes the fun out of it but I'm willing to compromise on healing first. One eye would make it an adventure but two eyes....well that opens possibilities." Stepping further away from the wall, she smirked. "Maybe we can talk over a few blood packs because we clearly made a choice so let's get to know each other."

"Oh, I am sure we will come back to the one eye thing. I think I have an idea for that, however seeing as I have yet to find a place of my own. I am up for suggestions on where to go." Reaching into the back pocket of his jeans he pulls out a cloth, using it to clean the blood from his sword. Sliding it home into the scabbard on his back exchanging it for the rifle. Putting the backpack on the ground again he ejects the clip, swapping it out for a full one. Sliding the spent clip into a side pocket of the backpack, he puts it back on standing up. Walking over to where Raksha is standing he holds out his arm bent for her to put her hand on. "So how 'bout it Highness, care to escort me to some place quieter?"
