Path of the Vampire forum

Anemoi: Anemoi woke up again, he took out his phone and texted Kira. Was sent to the hospital, and no it wasn’t by Lexster. I could use some company. Please. he sent, well he hoped he could stay up long enough.

Kira: Kira was just leaving the lounge when she got the text. She wondered if he was telling the truth but a quick look through his memories cleared that up. She gave a short laugh, he got a beat down by the Owl Turds. She wasn’t sure the reason. Not that they needed a reason. One had to be a scared little coward to have to have a group that big just to beat a human, even if that human was a paladin. She put her phone away, she wasn’t too sure about visiting him though. Could be a very bad mistake. She sighed, she changed the way she was going and went to the hospital instead. She told the front desk she was here to see Anemoi. She didn’t know his last name. She was given his room number and headed down. She looked in first after opening the door a little. She stepped inside and closed the door. She stuck her hands in her pockets as she went over to the bed. “I’m not staying long. You’re lucky I’m even here.” She said.

Anemoi: Anemoi smiled, he figured he had a 50/50 chance of her showing up or not. He tried to sit up more but winced, no that wasn’t a good idea. “Hey, want to replace the nurse for my sponge bath?” he said.

Kira: “Males. Why am I not surprised?” Kira grumbled, she looked him over. “Well they fucked you up but I’ve seen worse beatings.”

Anemoi: “You’re so cold. Should have known I wouldn’t get any sympathy from you.” Anemoi said, “Not that I was looking for sympathy.” He added, “Why are you standing so far away? It’s not like I can do anything right now.”

Kira: Kira sat down in the chair by the bed. “I did say I wasn’t staying long..” she said.

Anemol: “You happen to record the shows at that lounge? Obviously I missed the performance.” Anemoi said.

Kira: “No, you’re out of luck.” Kira replied, she lied as every show was recorded. To see how it went, what things could be fixed if it was done again and it helped her grade their dances.

Anemoi: Anemoi stared at her, he didn’t believe her but maybe Mike could hack into the feed if it happens to be connected to the net somehow. “The group I was attacked by, that’s the group that runs ****, just because they rule by sheer power.”

Kira: “Yes…I just joined a group that’s the anti group for that one, I guess. Which is why I don’t need any more reasons for the likes of them to kill me.” Kira said.

Anemoi: Anemoi thought about what he had read on the human boards. “That group, does it have a number in it?” he asked.

Kira: “Yeah…why..” Kira replied, confused.

Anemoi: Anemoi sighed, “Don’t tell me Lexster is part of it.” He asked.

Kira: “I repeat my last statement..” Kira said, she got up and was looking at the machine he was hooked up to, she assumed this one gave him his pain medicine.

Anemoi: “Just something about human involvement with you guys..” Anemoi said, he watched her. “You can’t kill me with that..” he said. “It’s rigged not to give more..”

Kira: “I know..” Kira replied, “Considering I don’t know what your motives are and she can’t stand you, can’t blame her really. No your involvement is not wanted.” She turned, as the machine kicked on. “You’ll be going to sleep soon. Good time to be going.”

Anemoi: Anemoi grabbed her hand. “Don’t be a stranger…I’ll be stuck here for awhile.” He said, he wanted to pull her close but that wasn’t going to happen, he hurt too much to do so.

Kira: Kira closed her eyes for a moment. “I make no promises.” She said, pulling her hand away and left the room.

Takes place hours before Kira’s death

Anemoi: Anemoi knew he was going to be let out of the hospital soon, but he really didn’t want to wait another day or whatever. He felt fine for the most part. He sat up, grabbed his phone. Now to get Kira to bring him some clothes. He texted her. Bring me some clothes please. I’m ready to get the hell out of here. he waited a moment before typing again. Either say you will or I’ll keep sending you texts!

Kira: Kira moved the items to the back, she was getting ready for another ritual. The hard part was getting the fadelings. She killed ferals, found nothing in them. She had to stalk the auctions for them. She bit her lower lip, she needed a plan in place in case she was killed again. Dru would have to take over making sure the Beef Cakes did what they were supposed to, although they did just fine the first time she was killed. She looked over at her phone. She picked it up, seeing the messages from Windy. “Damn that man.” She said. She stared as more text flooded her phone. DAMN IT STOP IT! I’ll get you some damn clothes just stop texting me! oh she should have just yelled in the man’s head. She got up and left the house. She knew nothing about men’s clothes, other than Lexy and her tried to get Jarrett to wear fuzzy warm shirts, good for cuddling. She sighed, well that had been a waste now hadn’t it. She knew he had donated all those clothes too.

Kira got to the clothing store but she stared at the underwear. She had no idea what he wore, and she wasn’t about to ask him. “****..” she muttered. A sales person came over.

“Need help with something? Shopping for a boyfriend?” The sales person asked.

“Hum no.” Kira replied, “I…just, a friend is getting out of the hospital and he needs clothes, and I have no idea what to get him.”

“Oh, well then. Boxer Briefs would be a good in between I think.” They said, handing her a pair.

“Ah okay, thanks..” Kira said, she walked off to find rest of the items. Pants, shirt, socks, surely his shoes were fine unless the Owl Turds hacked them up. Well they might have blood on them. She sighed, doesn’t matter, she did not know his size and she was guessing on all of this. She talked the cashier down on the prices of these items, she had spent too much time in the store to outright steal the clothes like she did with her own. From there she headed to the hospital, going into the room and tossed it at him. “There, now leave me alone.” She said, turning to leave.

Anemoi: Anemoi got out of bed, “Aw come on now. Don’t leave just yet. Can’t we walk out together? It’s been so lonely here.” He said.

Kira: Kira turned back around. “Lonely? I’m the wrong one to be trying to get company out of. I got things to do.” She snapped.

Anemoi: “I think you could use some down time. You’re all tense.” Anemoi replied, he pulled off the hospital gown and started to get dressed.

Kira: “I’m always tense..” Kira replied, then he was naked. What the ****. She turned around, “Do you mind!” she yelled. What was wrong with people? She thought she had been desensitize to the whole naked thing because of the paladins and David, but no…his nakedness was different.

Anemoi: Anemoi had his pants on by now, “What’s wrong? I know you’ve had to seen a naked guy before, with those paladins in the sewers. Becoming one was rather awkward..” he said, he was smiling though. He touched her shoulder and turned her to towards him.

Kira: Kira glared at him, “When dealing with people who have a habit of going naked, I block it out.” Kira replied, her green eyes looked over his marks. She wondered if they helped him from being really bad off. “Anyway, I said I had things to do. You have humans to hang out with.” She said.

Anemoi: Anemoi grabbed the shirt and pulled it over his head. “You’re eyes were not staying on my face.” He said with a smirk, putting on his socks and shoes. “And you can still walk me out.”

Kira: Kira could have blushed then, but she kept her mind on something else. “Just looking at your markings.” She said simply and turned to leave. “And I really don’t want to be seen walking you out. I already think they will find a reason to kill me off soon enough.” She said.

Anemoi: Anemoi quickly followed after her. “Huh? The same group that sent me here?” he said. “Can’t have that happening…how am I suppose to hang out with you if you’re all, well dead.” He said. He looked like he was trying to hide from the health care staff though.

Kira: “You you you.” Kira muttered, she looked at him sideways. “Have you been discharged or not?” she asked.

Anemoi: “Hum, of course. Why do you ask?” Anemoi said, and jumped when a nurse said. ‘Hey you’re not suppose to leave yet!’ He went to run for the door.

Kira: Kira grabbed his wrist. “We all have to spend our time healing..” she said, pushing him into an empty wheelchair and spun him around. “Here nurse, he’s all yours. Might want to keep an eye on him, lying about that he could leave. Such a bad boy. Make sure he gets all healed.” She said, leaning over the wheelchair, holding him down so he couldn’t move. “You have your clothes, I’ve done what you asked. Now behave for the nurses.” She whispered and kissed his cheek before leaving him in their care’ laughing loudly because he was so busted.

Anemoi: Anemoi couldn’t believe she just did that. “******* tease!” he shouted before they wheeled him back to his room. “God damn it, I’m fine. I want out of here!” he was told that maybe he could leave in about an hour, his blood pressure was up. Well no ******* duh. He glared at them.

November 24th, 2013

Kira glared at the demifae, she was getting so tired of its ****. "I have been doing this right! Stop being an ***!" she grumbled, crossing her arms. She was sure this had to be the same demi who was stuck, bound in that circle while she was in the shadow realm. It wasn't her fault she was killed for no damn reason. She looked at her notes, speaking another word. The thing broke out again. At least she no longer at to worry about it harming her, losing item to it but still, she was getting tired of failing. And running out of zombie ears.

She informed others of what she needed, before going to hunt ferals and zombies. After all the feral people were killing, there just wasn't any fadelings. She looked at the auction, there were two there but...she was low on money now. She sighed softly.

When Liam said he had some zombie ears, she sent Lady Baron to go find him. It didn't take them long to do so, the first building in fact they said they went in and there he was. Not that Kira was looking forward to having to be near him for the items, she wasn't sure where her feelings were with this matter. Mama hated the man, but Mama was not around. She wasn't sure if she would ever return, so she suppose her view on it did not matter anymore. After all Mama had liked Micah, but Kira was sure he was not the man Mama knew now.

So she waited. Liam said he would find her again so they could get to know each other. Again she wasn't sure about this. And then the old man had showed up. Why now...

"Ah Kira my dear lady. I see you gave found yourself a young man to cuddle with at night. Shall have to let Winds know about... Liam I believe."

Really? The old man had no grounds to think that just because she was standing near someone that any sort of cuddling was going on. She did not cuddle. Period. And he thought somehow Windy needed to know such things. She rolled her eye and made her way back to her spot. She wrote the man an e-mail as she was sure that would be easier then a mind message considering he was human. He already knew what she was so it wasn't a matter of hiding what she was.

Kira sat down. What if he did tell Windy that? Would the man get all weird? Jealous even? She ran a hand through her hair, she didn't need some jealous paladin going after people right now. If she told Windy not to believe anything that old man said about her, he might take it in a sense she cared about him which just wasn't it. She just didn't like having such misunderstanding about her.

She sighed, things just couldn't be easy. She called the demi again, failing a few more times. "Damn it!" she growled, she was glad she was alone in this place. Well, she was always alone unless Dave or Lady Baron was here.

And she was out of zombie ears again. She felt like breaking something....bones, gangster. Yes, that would hit the spot right about now.

November 25th, 2013

Kira felt like she spent far too much time at these flats. But they had everything one could need, shops, ATM, drinks, things to kill. Which was the real reason she was here of course. She had enough ears to bury someone with but she needed a fadeling in order to do any more rituals.

She sat down at the piano, thinking of the cold weather. Soon it would snow, that meant she would be calmer than normal. Only if she was outside however. She ran her fingertips over the keys lightly. The ferals just were not giving up any fadelings, boredom was setting in as none of the things here were much of a challenge.

"O come ye ferals, o come and give me your fadelings, oh come ye oh come ye to my bladed hand. Come and die swiftly, pile bloody on the floor.." she sang before her phone went off. This rewrite wasn't as gory as the other one about decking the halls with eyeballs but she was still sure that Dru would not like it. She looked at her phone, Dave needed her at the shop She sighed softly and got up. At least now she could just jump over the damn wall, she didn't want to waste the power to teleport there.

December 1st, 2013

Kira looked around the temple, it had been a year today since it was opened to the public. She glared at the bullet holes that were still there. She had tried to get David to help fix what he had done, she had tried to take the money as well but since he said they were separated, there wouldn't be any chance of getting his paycheck. And going into the police HQ wasn't exactly a thing she would like to do. Damn that man, she hated him so much now.

So she had to sweet talk some people to fix it, afterwards she just wanted to hurt herself.

"What happened here?" one of them asked as he was getting out the tools needed to fix the bullet holes.

"David Smith happened. A cop no less. Thinks he is above the law and all. Which, you know, trying to press charges on a cop, just doesn't work. They stick together. So there's just nothing to be done even though i have video of him doing it." Kira replied, she would ruin his name then. Good cop, no he wasn't. He was the kind that went in and shot up a peaceful temple.

"I'm sorry. That's awful. But we'll make it like new." he replied.

Kira didn't regard the man any longer, she moved down to the hallway. Pressing her hand to the wall before leaning her forehead on it. She closed her eyes. The rage was burning again, thought of killing David over and over again were pleasing. But there was something more. Deep inside, the pain and hurt of what he did. The proper response would be to cry, but not her.

"We're done." the man's voice broke her of her thoughts.

Kira moved away from the wall, looking around. Things were patched but now the place was scarred, never to be the same again. She waved them away and went into the groove.

She moved to the moon shaped pond, leaning over the bridge. The reflection was not exactly her, it was her with red hair, though it wasn't Warrior either, she could tell as the face was kind and not harsh. "Kaley?"

"You are in pain.."

"That is nothing new.." Kira replied, resting her head on her arms that was on the railing.

"This is different...you thought you could trust this David and he betrayed you.."

"Such is human nature, even if they are vampires." Kira replied.

"Maybe Trodaí should make you forget him too."

Kira raised her head. "Forget him too? So she did make me forget someone." she said. She shook her head. "Make things far more complicated no.." put her hands in her hair. She moved away from the water, shedding her jacket, tossing it to the ground. She kicked her shoes off, placing her bare feet on the nature that was fae free.

She leaned over, tossed her hair back, looking up to the ceiling, taking out her tonfas. She moved them through the air, twisting around in a dance, a battle. She started to sing in Celtic, her voice rung out through the room. She spun around, her blades out. She knelt down and placed her weapons down in front of her.

"Brigit....you are the flame in the dark. I am as wild as that fire." she said, "The Morrigan, I feel you...going into battle as much as I do. Help me now." she felt like the only way to move on was to kill David, or at least beat him close to death.

December 11th, 2013

Drusilla: Dru tracked down Kira, wanting to talk to her. Finding her in the Triple Moon Blessings store.

Kira: Kira was putting prices on some cards, while trans siberian orchestra blared though every time the violin played, she would get distracted and started to act out the movements of playing it.

Drusilla: “Sis..?” Dru tried calling over the music.

Kira: Kira looked over, frowning a moment before turning off the music. “Yes Dru?” she asked before setting out some new pendulums out for sale.

Drusilla: Dru sat down at the table. “Why did Liam inspire me?” she asked. “I don’t know him.”

Kira: Kira paused, she finished what she was doing before sitting at the table as well. “Oh maybe guilt. He always trying to get me but seemed to completely overlook the fact that you’re my sister, a childe of Mama Sisya. Even though I kept calling you my sister.” She said. “Don’t be surprise if you’re next.”

Drusilla: Dru didn’t know anything about all the issues. “Then you’ve been talking to him?” she asked.

Kira: “A bit..” Kira replied, she certainly didn’t like what he did to Serenity that one time but she had given people chances before. Her grandsire for one, who blew those chances. Ripper was also on the no more chances list. “One was just simply getting to know each other, the other, well Windy got panties in a twist over nothing.” She said. She still wasn’t sure what to think about having the same pull as the elders who hadn’t been in Harper Rock, she still lumped it in something else, not related at all.

Drusilla: Dru nodded, “So, Friday is the 13th. Should do something cool at the lounge.” She said, course she had an idea in mind. “Little bit of a naughty Christmas before the tamer stuff you have planned.. We to meet the Beef Cakes in an hour?”

Kira: Kira stared at her, “I don’t like that grin of yours. What the hell do you have planned? You guys are always out voting me and getting me to do embarrassing ****. It can’t be too complicated because its short notice.” She said.

Drusilla: “Oh it shouldn’t be hard to come up with.” Dru said, she got up and hurried off to the other store to plot against Kira.

Kira: “Ah ****..” Kira muttered, she finished up unpacking some boxes and left the rest for the employees before heading off to the lounge. “Alright, what you up to?” she asked, sitting down at the meeting table.

Drusilla: Dru looked at the males for a moment before playing the music. “This…” she said, “It reminds me of you..”

Kira: Kira stared in horror at the music player. “You can’t be serious…once again you’re finding songs that focus one me then them.” She said.

“Girl it will still sale.” Lorenzo replied.

“Come on Boss Lady, it will be fun!” Cody said grinning.

“****..” Kira muttered, putting her head on the table. “That does it.” She said, raising her head up and looking at Dru. “Dru, I’m making you an elf for the holiday special.”

“Is that going to be a sexy elf?” Cody asked.

Drusilla: Dru frowned, “I make the outfits, I don’t take part in the show!” she protested. She glared at Cody.

Kira: “Then I’m not doing no whips and chains in public.” Kira replied, smiling and leaning back, crossing her arms. She was sure she won the battle.

Drusilla: Dru looked at the men, she looked at Kira seriously. “Fine, deal then.” She said.

Kira: Kira’s jaw dropped slightly. “Damn it.” She huffed. “Fine, Beef Cakes, to the stage.” She said, cuing Dru to play the song so she could figure out a dance for it. Some of the song was danced with either one of the guys, one part one beef cake was on all fours and Kira used him as a bed to lean back on. Once she was done, she turned to Dru. “and guess what, you get to go get the props for this too..”

Drusilla: “Really? You don’t already of whips and chains?” Dru asked but quickly ran off before Kira could throw something at her.

Kira: Kira rolled her eyes, she did have some chains but why would she use her own things for this. She dismissed the Beef Cakes and worked on the inventory.

December 20th, 2013

"Let's go people! Time to work! Your vacation time starts after the show straight on into the new year. You're welcome, and there's bonus checks as well." Kira called out to the Beef Cakes to get out on stage. There certainly wasn't any complains about more money and time off. She returned to her little dressing room, frowning at the outfit that Dru and Lady Baron, or rather Tessa picked out. It was a white fuzzy sweater, white skirt and white knee high boots. Now the boots, she liked.

Goes with winter they said. She rolled her eyes and changed clothes, her hair was left in curls. She grabbed her violin and went to the side of the stage, listening for what number they were on.

It was something she had wrote, she thought it was all very corny but knew it would sell. The guys were dressed up as delivery men.

"Oh Mr. Postman, is that a package for me? Will it fit under my tree?"

Kira turned away and headed into the back. Yeah she wrote it, sang it, did all the music but she really did hate the song but it was for the holidays and it would bring in the ladies and more money.

After that song, Kira went to the stage to do a Celtic Christmas by Lindsey Stirling before moving into her own music while the Beef Cakes changed into a different set of outfits. She left the stage and the men returned, all in Santa or Elf.

The number wrapped up, music still played but rest of the night was people drinking. The dancers started to file out to go home while the wait staff took care of those still there. Then it was closing time and clean up.

Kira stared at the darkened empty room now. She forgot about still wearing the outfit as she locked up and headed out of the mall. Stopping outside and looking up at the snow falling. She closed her eyes, it was her calmer time of the year. She opened her eyes and headed home.

___________________

Kira curled up with Sof. The new issue with her unlife, another man interested in her. Should she even bother trying? She had already agreed to go skiing with him. She thought of so many things that could go very wrong with that but at least she couldn't be killed. She could heal herself.

But...she would have to tell him about David and Windy, anyone trying to be with her would have to deal with them. She could see the man running away then. Lexy said that would mean he was sane and to go after him. David is insane, anyone who met him could clearly see that. Windy, she wasn't sure. He couldn't be completely sane if he's interested in her. Then again, she wasn't too sure about her own mental state.

December 29th, 2013

Kira ran her fingers across the piano keys, she wanted its sound over a keyboard. She wasn't sure what was going on in this world. Her curse working full forced she suppose. She hadn't heard a word from that guy, clearly he ran off. Then there was Lexy. Was she showing her true colors?

"Told you she doesn't give a **** about you. No one does."

"Your opinion doesn't mean ****." Kira replied as the music got louder. Yes everything that had been said was hurtful. Maybe that's what she did. Get close to someone, then finds a way to cut the legs right under them. She had done this twice.

"Pain is the only thing I know. The curse is strong, the darkness comes. It takes over and there's no way out.
Loneliness is my curse. Don't get close or you'll be doomed." she sang, she slammed a group of keys together. "I need to kill something." she said. She got up and left the studio room, pulling out her cell phone with the names and pictures of the worst gangsters that Dru was able to find for her. She wasn't just in the mood to kill but to play with her prey for awhile.

December 31th, 2013

Kira was pulling a body behind her, her other hand had a bottle of peach wine. She needed another place for this sort of thing, as this house was for her music. Maybe she should get a place in the sewers just for this. Then she wondered if she could teleport the fadebeasts. One dungeon to another. They were good at getting rid of bodies, eat just about anything.

She stopped short of the house, no she really didn't want to do this there. She'd be getting all sorts of dirty looks from Dave after she asks about help of cleaning up a mess. She turned and went into the woods. The fae be damned.

She heard the man groan but she kept dragging him by his leg, not caring about any sticks or rocks he was going over or him freezing due to the snow. "You've been bad mister." she said. "Got a long file of things you have done, not fit to live. I'm going to help send you off to your next life, maybe you'll learn something then. Or maybe you will be a victim like you did to others.." she said without any change to her voice. She flung the man in front of her. She set the wine bottle down in the snow, so it will be kept cold.

"I-I don't...even know you.." the man said, pushing himself back, his leg that she had been dragging him by was twisted in an odd angle.

Kira crouched down, "Don't need to." she said, her head cocked to the side. "Just speeding up karma. You're going to be how I celebrate New Years. Nothing to really celebrate but yeah." she said, slipping out a dagger from her sleeve. She grabbed his arm, running her blade down it. "Bleeding out is always a nice way to go." she said thoughtfully. It was how she killed those she took the time to play with. This wasn't about the fight unlike most of her bounty count was about. This was about causing pain on someone who deserved it. He tried to grab her with his free arm, Kira just bit him. She might as well have a snack while he's bleeding out. Slowly the man stopped struggling. She wiped her blade on him, the snow around him colored red. She grabbed his leg again and went the distance to move him further away. The wildlife would make a meal out of him, he wouldn't go to waste. The blood on the snow would soon be covered up by fresh powder.

She looked up at the sky, it was already starting to snow again. Can one feel calm but yet violent? Her green eyes went to the ground, picking up the wine bottle and opening it up. She looked to her watch. "Happy ******* New Year." she muttered, taking a drink from the bottle. She headed home for some hot coco and a warm bath. Rest of the night hours she would spend on writing songs.

January 3rd, 2014

Her staff was still on vacation, next week they would be back to thinking of new things to do for the show. Kira hadn’t had any contact with anyone lately, which was fine. She didn’t feel like being near anyone right now. Her pencil ran across the paper, writing in notes and lyrics.

“You’re crazy, you’re insane but I attract the crazies like a moth to a flame. I want to be rid of you, free of you. What am I to do with an awful man like you? What did I ever do to deserve to have you in my life? You bring me down, never up. You live your life just to bring me pain. I can’t wait for the day when I’m finally rid of you, oh.

You’re delusional. You see things that have never been and never will. I hate you, I despise you. When will you see that we will never be. You think we’re item but its only in your head, oh.

You try to control me, try to change who I am. I will never be tamed, you can’t change who I am. You can’t blame me for your problems, you brought them on yourself. You disrespect me, you try to hurt me. I’m tired of your games. It’s time for you to go, oh.

You’re psycho, loco. I swear you need to be on meds.”

Kira pushed the song aside, a lot of what she wrote, she would never sing these songs in public. That one was about David. She ran her fingers over the piano keys.

“Don’t blame me for the trouble in your life. I try the best I can to be a friend. I can only do so, it’s not my fault We don’t know each other well as friend’s should. Are we strangers in each other’s lives? Don’t snap at me when I don’t have a clue. You don’t tell me what’s going on so how am I to know what to say.

Keeping secrets, telling lies. We might as well be blind. I need you in my life but maybe you don’t need me. I don’t need this, I don’t need to the heartache and the pain. My faith in people already on the rocks. This ship is going down and I’m not going to watch.

I thought we were good, I thought we were fine but that’s not what’s on your mind. You’re hot then your cold, you can’t make up your mind. Do you bring people up only to let them fall. Is it all but a game? Is it all can act? There’s no going back, the hurt inside shall always remain.

Was there any truth to your words, was it all lip service. Did you mean anything you say. Do I mean nothing? I won’t be part of your pity party. I got to move on, I got to be strong. Maybe I should make some new friends. Maybe I should just be alone.”

Kira stopped playing, she sighed softly. “**** you, **** people. They can all go to hell.” She said. She had started another song, about another person but she got writers block so she filed it away.

“I told you. Didn’t I?”

“**** you.” Kira snapped. “Shut up.” Her fingers flew across the keys again, playing something more dramatic, with feeling. One of the few times she could feel, the music said it all. The hurt, the pain. Why did fate bring her here?

All the pathetic lyrics are by me
