Path of the Vampire forum

David sat at his desk going through a pile of paperwork he ******* hated paperwork. Like what good does that actually due? Sure they had a tons of facts and reasons why it was important and required but to David it was something that could easily be handed by someone else. Like Jarrett. His eyes scanned the office, he didn't see Jarrett, his eyes for a moment caught sight of Cathy but she wasn't paying attention.

Groaning he opened another case file, this was at least opened and began the basic input into their systems, Bill Alderman 27 years old, white, male, 5'9, 248lbs. Part of the gang Red Crow. He scanned the man's history and noticed that Bill aka Casper had been a member of this gain since he was 14 years old, having started as a runner. He ended up getting caught before his 18 birthday and from there he went from a runner to one of their hitters. He didn't have any real pull of power but still he was pretty well known from what David could tell. Even when he had been caught breaking and entering, selling drugs and was a suspect in at least two murders but the courts hadn't been able to prove anything.

By the time he had finished going through the man's history his phone had gone off. Pulling it out he took a moment to check the message, it was pretty simple. Check the CrowNet. He pulled up the bounty list, he rarely ever checked it but the name that was on the list, hit him. Bill Alderman, sire Kira... with a huge *** bounty.

David growled and texted Kira, "what the hell were you thinking?" before texting John, "Got to remove someone" and then began to quickly edit the details within the casefile that he had been working on. Bill Alderman wasn't saved into the system not by him anyways. A quick search and David did the only thing he could think of. He shoved the man into 'witness protection' even though that wasn't likely going to be the case because the man was either going to have to be killed or quickly removed from this city... high chance he would die but... Kira had 'made' him a big brother and Gambat always did what he could to help him. So he was going to try and take his big brother's step and help the man AND then likely throw his monkey *** self at Kira until she is pulling out her own hair.

Kira pulled the covers over her head as the animals said it was time to get up. No, she just didn't want to right now. She was up late, she had no where to be today so she just wanted to be left alone. Finally the animals got the hint and headed off to play, cat chases ferrets, dog chases cat which results in a yelp from being clawed up.

She sighed softly, closing her eyes but then her phone...why didn't she turn the sound off. Of course even the vibrating, she would have heard it. You're ******* crazy.. which would be David's ringtone. What the hell did he want? She sat up and grabbed her phone, expecting him to be yelling about all the copies of the divorce papers she had sent him.

But all it said was what the hell were you thinking. She thought about it, had his co-workers found out that his 'wife' wanted out of the marriage? Nah, that shouldn't be that important. Then she thought about bounties. Did she have one? She quickly checked the list. She had been so careful. She stayed at $900 at the most, it was her way of saying **** you bounty hunters. You can't see a bounty so you don't go after it. But it said she only had $250. Well, what the hell was he going on about then?

The number 20K caught her attention. What had this person done to get that much money on their head? She hadn't heard of them before, maybe a new one. She went to check their line, their sire should be aware of this so they could take action. But when she saw her own name attached to this man, she about dropped her phone that was still in her hands.

"B-But...." she mumbled, she didn't remember siring anyone! She quickly looked for a picture of this man, she flopped back onto the bed. She knew the face, not well but she had seen it before. Then it came to her...

She had went into a building, looking for gangsters. She found a small group of them. She had taken her time and enjoyment from killing them, she had cuts on her arms from defending herself from their blades, she was sure she had been shot too but that's not what bothered her. One of them had bitten her, most likely thought that was his only distraction at the time before she killed him....at least she thought she had killed him.

"Damn it!" Kira shot straight up in bed again. Another accident. David was an accident. Man she was cursed.

She got out of bed and quickly got ready. She had to deal with this. She just wasn't sure how. Just kill him, try to reason with him? She was out the door but had no idea where to look first, her mind was too full of how could have this happen yet again.

David stared at his cellphone she hadn't ******* contacted him back. He slammed his hands on the desk he didn't care what anyone said. "Sorry... the Wife... overspent our income." He shoved his hands in his pockets as he rose from his seat and looked over towards John as he walked in the door.

"What's going on" John's voice was slightly lower as he took the brooding man outside towards their car.

"Kira sired someone and hasn't done **** for them."

John frowned at him, "I thought it was just you and John Gambat?"

David growled under his breath as he slammed his fist into the hood of another team's car. "**** no, this guy is Bill Alderman"

John scratched his cheek as he stared at the imprint on the hood of the car "So basically she's getting closer to the gangsters in the city..." he trailed off, dropping his voice, "... you don't think..."

David stared at John, "She wouldn't be stupid enough to make that mistake twice." He opened the car door, "But we got to find this guy... my younger sibling before he gets killed. Which means we're off to see Kira and we're going to drag her buy her hair to a ritual table." he muttered as the door slammed shut. John sighed as he pulled out his phone, he didn't want to see her getting dragged by any hair.

'Get your stuff ready for the Call to Blood ritual, Kira.' he left out the fact that David was going to drag her around as he put the phone into the pocket and made his way to the driver side of the car and drove to the Triple Moon Temple. Getting out he followed David trying to break the man's sour's mood as they entered the building.

David however had other plans, he simply pulled out his gun, "No violence allowed" he muttered "Doesn't say a damn thing about destruction of property" and just like that he began to fire at the floor, walls, plants and water. Knowing that Kira would have to hurry her *** here if she didn't want the place to covered in bullets.

John sighed as he pulled out his cellphone, 'Better hurry, David is really sour... that you have a childe with a 20k bounty... and didn't tell him about it....'

Kira really didn't want to look at her phone as more messages popped up but she also had an alert that a sensor was tripped. She looked at her phone. John...get stuff ready for the ritual Call to Blood. She closed her eyes, she tried that when she was looking for a much crazier David. She looked at the next message. She shook her head, why the hell is he sour. She didn't know she had a childe with that kind of bounty on his head. One has to really **** up to get that high.

She looked at her camera feed and her eyes widened. She took a step forward and teleported in front of the temple. She put her phone and away and hurried inside, putting her hands on the railing on the bridge as she stared at the damage. She took in a shuddering breath to try to stay calm. Nope, that didn't work. She was filled with rage.

"David!" she screamed at him as she crossed the distance. She slugged him in the face. "How dare you take your anger out on the temple instead of me! Don't you know its against the law to damage a building of worship!" she had heard it on a show, it may only be in the USA but she didn't care. "You're a ******* asshole!" she said, hitting him again and again. She didn't care he had a gun, let him use it on her and see what happens. She'd teleport his *** so fast and stab him with her blades.

She held her hands to her sides but they were still balled into fists as she tried to keep from going after him again but some of the anger was replaced with hurt, but it only showed in her eyes. My beautiful temple..., if she had been an emotional person she most likely would have cried, but she got angry again.
"The repairs are coming out of your paycheck!" she shouted.

Kira took a deep breath again. "Are you just upset that you're not special anymore? Believe me I don't enjoy siring randomly when I'm trying to kill someone!" she growled at him.

She had to turn away before she couldn't help but try to stab him. She looked at John for a moment, why couldn't she have sired a more stable person. She turned around and walked into the back where the altar was. She took a starbrust from her stash, putting it in her mouth. She was hoping the flavor would keep her mind off of what happened as she called the demifae. "Bill Alderman.." she said softly. She closed her eyes, saying the words she remembered before watching for the demifae to react to the rest. She put her hands on the altar as the ritual was finished, she lowered her head. Taking the time to eye spy and Triangulate, Aura Tracking, the works.

"He was loading a truck..." Kira said, "It's an old factory that's no longer in use." she moved towards the exit. "I think he's told other gangsters...about vampires." she said, she had a bad feeling. "It would make sense that he wants payback against me since I killed his gang family in front him and left him for dead."

Why was me life so ******* complicated she thought bitterly.

David held the side of his face, before flexing his jaw, at least she was here now. Then he couldn't help but grin as they stood there in the gunshot filled temple, "It's not coming out of my paycheck, you sired someone and just left them to wander the streets, no ******* idea who they were. Don't be telling me that it was a mistake. I'm the damn mistake, you only get one." he started to reload his gun, he really should just shove a bullet into her heart and fix her up that way. If she had been telling the truth she would be emotional and thus would realize that she hadn't been a caring to his little criminal sibling.

John however moved between the two of them, "Your childe.... David's younger sibling... is in trouble. Are you going to help David take care of him..."

David, "and by take care of him I don't ******* mean shoot his *** full of holes like I did with your temple."

John sighed heavily, "Unless we have no other choice."

David, "Naa man we got a choice, either Kira here helps me take care of my new little brother or she goes with him to the shadow realm for being a reckless and leaving the man all alone to end up ******* up with the masquerade, I mean if he was going to be like Gambat, he could at least use his brain some."

John shook his head and then walking between the two to the alter, kept David from holding a gun to Kira's head and of course keeping Kira from killing the man. Waited.

As Kira began to explain what she saw, David frowned, "This is all your fault. Now teleport us... and by us. I mean all of us to the man's location and use that... thing of yours to search for the exact location."

John, "it has a name... LadyBaron, BaronLady... something like that..." he mumbled, "but it's a good idea... only so much ground I could cover and I'm not exactly invisible to the naked eye..."

David, "What is my sibling anyways... Killer? Cause man I don't want to have to drag a body around if Kira gets him killed."

"It is too coming out of your paycheck!" Kira snapped. "And let's not forget you made me your wife for some fucked up reason and I can get away with it." her eyes narrowed. "Oh so I'm only allowed one mistake of a childe? The man bit me, I thought he was dead and I held no connection to him." she wondered if they were able to hide such a thing, or the fact they spent no time near each other made it like that. She didn't understand it.

She focused on John. "In trouble by his own hand. I'm the last person he wants to see right now." she replied. "I don't care if he saved or killed, but...he's not going to give me much of a choice in the matter unless I charm him." she said. She kind of doubted that would work, surely the man really hated her, he would be harder to charm. She turned towards David again, "Like I said, you are paying to fix this. And I don't shoot people up, that's you."

She turned away. "And I'm not going back to the Shadow Realm. One trip was plenty." she said softly. Windy had taken out her heart, she ended up in that dark, depressing, boring space. Now she had Warrior stuck in her shadow.

Kira turned back, "This is not my fault! And stop bossing me around!" she growled at him. "Teleport three people. Damnnit." she said. She looked at John. "Lady Baron does not like being called an it. I refer to them in plural since there are two...in a way."

"Me get him killed. At the moment I feel like killing the both of you and you can teach your sibling where he can do no harm." Kira said coldly. She didn't really want to teleport David but she grabbed a hold of their arms and teleported them, shoving David away afterwards. She closed her eyes and summoned Lady Baron to her.

"How rude, I was in the middle of over hearing some good gossip." The woman said, making herself visible.

"Tessa, I need Marcus right now." Kira said, keeping her hands in her pockets. She feared if she had them out she might try to choke David.

"Oh what heavens for. My dear, your hair. Did you do anything with it?" Tessa said, before looking around. "Oh just him.."

"Not now. I need Marcus if you do not mind!" Kira snapped, slipping out of English.

Tessa sighed and nodded, the form changing to that of a man. "If I do say, you hurt her feelings. What do you need me for?" Marcus asked.

"I'll wear one of her awful dresses for a how and she'll get over it." Kira muttered. "Need you to find Bill. He was last seen by a factory around here, near a truck. See what he's up to and report back please."

Marcus disappeared from sight and floated off. He found the truck, looking inside and saw what seemed to be an armory. Guns, ammo, explosives. He floated off to the building.

"Are you ready? We're going to clear the streets of these vampires!" Bill was talking to a group of other gangsters, not all from the same gang. He was on a suicide mission and he did not care if he died, he would be taking his own life at the end of this anyway.

Marcus hurried off back to Kira's side. "This isn't good. He's ready for a war against vampires. Weapons, bombs, and people to use them."

Kira frowned, "Was hoping for better news." she said. "If you are wanting to try to save him, we'd have to get him alone.." she added, thinking a moment. "The rest are humans right?" waiting for Marcus to say yes. "Smoke bomb and grab him.."

Neither David or John could actually see the wraiths but that didn't stop him from knowing there was a difference in the tones when that wraith was around. Depending fully on who was in charge at the time. Personally he liked to tell people that Kira was going crazy when they saw her talking to herself. You know, hit to many times on that head of hers, no memory... so she makes her own up sort of thing.

David hadn't enjoyed the trip for that matter either had John still they said nothing while they waited for Kira to pin point the location. At which point John pulled out his cellphone and brought up te database. It wasn't te best way to do a search but it wasn't going to hurt either.

David however had other things, "If he does anything it's fully your fault for not keeping a leash on your newest addition." he huffed as he looked over at John who nodded. He had found the access points and had chosen two different routes.

John, "We can head out this way..." he said pointing towards the roof "there is a latch up there, easy enough drop for.... you...two.." he then pointed off towards the side, "there are some stairs that way but it stops sort about two stories... now the route I think David and I should take... because I'm human... like total human..." he trailed off for a moment "it's a side entrance but there is a higher chance of there being guards there..."

David, "I'll just make them wish to have a night with me" he winked before looking at Kira "as long as someone doesn't make another vampire and leaves them we should be fine then."

Kira glared at David. “I didn’t know I created him.” She hissed. It was quite clear she was cursed. She wished she was childeless really if she couldn’t have a more helpful or caring one. She turned her attention to John as he explained the layout. Course first it sounded like he was wanting both David and her to drop down from the ceiling, then he was saying him and David should go another way. The second one she liked better, she didn’t want David with her.

She rolled her eyes. “Just don’t **** any and turn them.” She said before getting up in his face. “Maybe I should turn a few more gangsters just to piss you off and let you take care of them.” She growled, her eyes shifting to that of a cat for a moment. She moved away and headed off towards the building. “Mark, you’re with me.” she said.

Marcus followed after her, not that he was sure why she wanted him still around. It wasn’t like he could hit any of the people there.

Kira ran up the side of the building about three feet and jumped onto the back of a dumpster. She jumped and gripped what was left of a fire ladder, swinging her legs up onto the metal, she pulled herself up, gripping another bar and started to go up the ladder, though one gave away when she put weight on it, she gripped the one below it quickly to keep herself from falling. “Jump power from the killer path would have been really helpful right about now.” She muttered. She looked at the rusting metal of the ladder, she could have done some really fancy moves to get up here if she wasn’t risking it giving away. She skipped some that looked worse off until she was at the last one. She suspected it used to have a platform here but there wasn’t any longer.

She crouched down, balancing on the top bar and jumped to the next ladder. After a moment, her hands gripped the ledge of the roof and she pulled herself up and over. She crossed the roof carefully towards hatch, she grabbed a hold of the handle but it wouldn’t move. “Got a can opener?” she asked. She heard Mark groan a little. She had plenty of sharp objects on her but she wasn’t about to use it to pry this open. She gripped the handle with both hands and pulled, it broke apart at the hinges. She paused for a moment, “Think they heard that?” she asked.

“Maybe…it was pretty loud.” Marcus replied, moving past her and down into the building. Kira followed, she dropped down and took the stairs down two floors. She heard people moving around but didn’t seem like they were on alert from the sound she made.

She found her way to what she was looking for, beams that would go over where the gangsters were at. She balanced herself on it, heading across until she spotted the man she remembered from the night she killed his friends. She eased herself down, I found Bill. If you clear an exit, I can grab him after some smoke bombs so we can get him alone.. she sent to their minds.

Kira: Kira heard no reply from David. She sighed, was he even listening to her? Well she wasn't about to hang up here all night just because he was in a pissy mood. She took out the smoke bombs and dropped them. The smoke filled the area, putting the other gangsters in confusion.

She dropped down, landing behind Bill, grabbing him by the arm and pretty much dragged him out towards the exit.

Bill's eyes locked on Kira. "You!"

"Don't take that tone with me. We need to talk." Kira replied, as she expected, he wasn't in a talking mood. He struggled and Kira tried to keep a hold of him. His elbow slammed into her ribs, "****.." she held her stomach but he knocked her into the wall.

He took off out of the exit, once Kira recovered, she took off after him.

David: David wasn't in the mood at all, he followed after John and John was trying to make it clear Kira was trying to talk to him but even from John he wasn't hearing it at all. Course when the smoke bombs hit, he really had wished he had been listening. He tried to find his partner but the man had stayed towards the back, trying to block the exit which him being human in a room full of gas was a bit hard. Bill ram into John before David could even grab the man, short of the collar of his coat and shirt. Which is what he was holding when he saw Kira run pass him and into Serenity who was laying on the ground. "Good going Kira, Now you are trying to kill a cousin!" he snapped at the woman shaking the cloth at her.

Serenity: Serenity had been on the search for one of her own... one she hadn't realized was still alive. She hadn't seen him or felt him in such a long time that now it felt unreal to see his name on the bounty list. She knew she had to get to him quickly. Just knew it. She began to pass outside of a warehouse, back and forth. "Prince..." she called out.

'Where is he?' she wanted to cry out in her frustrations, 'have to get to him before any of them find out they have a sibling... who might not make it!' she wanted to bang her head against a wall but what good would that do?

Her head turned towards the door swinging open she got one step back before a man was on top of her and the only thing she could do was scream in terror.

She didn't know who this was but his goofy grin on his face as he took a feel and then muttered something about another time before walking up and on top of her and off down the 'street' had her in tears.

That didn't stop until Kira was laying on top of her with David holding cloths. "I don't want in your kinky ways!" she sobbed.

Kira: Kira was so focused on going after Bill, and being not directly on his heels, she didn't know he had ran into someone so when she flew out the door, she tripped over Serenity. Kira yelped but her fall wasn't all that bad, she landed on something squishy. "S-Serenity?" she said, her eyes wide. She pushed her self off, "There is nothing kinky going on here!" she protested, getting to her feet. She glared at David, "If you were my back up maybe he wouldn't have gotten away and run her over! This is your fault!" she yelled. Then remembered that the girl was still on the ground, she offered her hand to help her up.

"Marcus! Go find Bill!" she called out. "Marcus?"

"He went that away.." like she was suppose to see him pointing, he wasn't even showing up for her.

"Which way?" Kira asked irritated.

"Up the road, to the right..." he replied.

David: David growled "Oh yeah it's my fault huh? You wouldn't have even cared if I hadn't dragged myself to your temple and shot holes in the place!"

John sighed heavily as Kira helped Serenity up, "They been at it since it was found out... what are you doing out here?"

David, "Clearly Kira didn't think I was good enough!"

John frowned, "I don't think you had anything to do with Serenity being here" but yet again David wasn't hearing it as he was stalking off down the road muttering about how it wasn't his fault Kira couldn't keep her fangs to herself.

Serenity: Serenity took Kira's hand as she helped her up, she still wasn't sure what was fully going on but it seemed that someone was on the list that belonged to one of them and by the way David was acting, it meant it was Kira, "Is one of yours on the list as well?" she didn't want to ask if it was Gambat but Kira has said Bill which meant it couldn't be Gambat... and seeing as she knew David was still connected to Micah's family, he wouldn't had been on the list either.

"Oh... I'm... looking for someone..." she said softly, "I... was hoping... Prince would be around here... but I lost him." she looked at Kira, "You haven't seen... well heard him have you?"

Kira: "Of course you're not good enough. I'd like a childe that was a ******* pain in the butt. And Bill sure as hell isn't it either." Kira replied, she crossed her arms. "Yeah, some guy named Bill. Accidental siring like David, which is why he has his panties in a bunch." she said. She raised an eyebrow, "Prince? No." she said, looking towards where Marcus was. "Aren't you buddy buddy with Prince?"

"I haven't seen Prince in some time." Marcus replied.

Kira blinked, catching what Serenity had said. "As well? You have a childe on the bounty list?" she asked.

Bill was hiding behind a car, taking out his gun, he watched for movement following him. He didn't see the Spears look alike however, but he shot at David anyway. He had to be working with that woman.

David: David groan as the bullets hit him in gut, "**** it man, we can do that **** later. We gotta get your *** away from Kira before she ******* kills you."

"What the hell are you talking about!?" Bill replied, "You're working with that woman. She already tried to kill me once."

"Join the ******* club" David replied.

She tilted her head for a second watching as David took off down the road followed closely by John before going about cleaning herself off, she was filthy she hated being so dirty. It... just wasn't proper. She sighed heavily as she looked up towards Kira, wondering how to exactly answer that question. Kira wasn't one that would put the blame of the childe on that of the sire. Yet there were others who would do such a thing. Besides the Shadow Realm was large and she had never seen them on the waking side or the sleeping side of the world.

Slowly she began to nod her head, "Yes..." the word barely above a whisper, she knew she had to find him. Get to him before someone else did but how exactly was she suppose to do that. "I... don't know how to track... and... I'm not very good at rituals..." and she knew she couldn't track her childe by someone else doing the ritual for her. She sighed heavily as she stared at Kira once more. "What about yours?" her eyes trailed back down the path David had taken, "It seems you have enlisted help... maybe I should... but..." how exactly was she suppose to tell her family she accidently sired... kinda by force... and she had thought he had died... only he apparently had returned and was doing a lot of things to out them all.

She cringed inside as her stomached turned. "I think I'm going to throw up"
