Path of the Vampire forum

‹GoggleSama› Goggle slipped in through the door, knife at the ready, his mind focused on the task at hand. I needed to train, to get better at this whole ear collecting business. He had failed completely at his attempts while in the company of with the vampire 'Reka, and he needed to improve before they met again. Another such embarrassing showing on his part would likely be the death of him. For some reason there seemed to be no end to the zombies that filled this building, which was a good thing he supposed. Apparently they were "easy kills". He still had no ammunition for that little revolver in his pocket, which meant he would be forced to get up close and personal. His clothes were a write-off anyway, so what was a little more gore splattered across them. He would just need to remember to pick up something clean before he returned to the city. His knife, a sad little thing he had found, did not fill him full of confidence. He put his doubts to one side though. If ear collecting was important to 'Reka then there must be some reason for it. He strode into the room, ignoring all, heading straight for the nearest zombie. His reflexes fast, he forced the blade straight into the undead creature's skull, where it proceeded to snap from the handle. Damn..

* Angel looks around she had been killing zombies and stuff for a while now and thought it was interesting. She took out her gun and pointed it atthe zombie in front of her pulling the trigger and then cussing "**** it" She was out of bullets. She took the gun and started to bash the thing in the skull with the end of her gun. This thing was going to die and she was going to make it die. It deserved to be dead. She looked like a wookie though as she bashed in the zombie dust.

‹GoggleSama› Goggle sighed, a curse escaping his lips as he stared into the empty eyes before him. The creature snapped at his throat, Goggle moving out of the way just in time. He could feel almost feel the teeth sinking into his flesh already. Dropping the handle of his now useless knife, he stepped around the zombie, backing away to buy himself some time. He would need to find a new weapon, and soon. He hadn't thought about it before, he had never before needed to carry any kind of weapon. It was a different life now though, he would need to adapt to survive. Hand shooting out, desperately scrabbling for some kind of weapon, his fingers brushed against something solid. With a triumphant grin, the new vampire brought the full force of his fury down upon the zombie, channeling it through the terrible... Glass vase in his hand. Could things go any worse? The vase shattered, slicing his hand open, a faint sensation of pain touching his senses. The scent of fresh blood drew the zombie on, however, driving it into a further frenzy.

* Angel smells the blood as she continues to blugen the zombe in her way with the end of her gun. Having done that she pulls out a sword and looks around seeing where the blood is comming from. Running over towards the guy she pulls out a second blade and tosses it to the man "Use this" Yah she was helping but that was all she was doing.

‹GoggleSama› Salvation! In the form of another vampire. If his experience with 'Reka was anything to go by, being around another vampire was going to be distracting, and distraction was just something he couldn't afford right now. What could he do, though? Turn away her help and fight the zombie unarmed? Sure, it could work. Something flew through the air and he reached out automatically to grab it. His injured hand closed around the knife for a moment before he dropped it again in shock, fresh pain lancing through his hand. A faint part of his mind noticed it had already begun to heal, albeit very slowly. Who was he kidding, the fact that he could already notice a difference was incredible! The zombie collided with him, bowling him over in a tangled mess of limbs and gnashing teeth. Goggle's eyes widened, his injured hand closing around the monster's throat and tearing into the decomposing flesh as it it were butter. The other hand took the fallen knife, a frenzy overtaking him as he repeatedly stabbed the zombie in the head. As it stopped moving, he rolled it off of him, but didn't stop stabbing for a few more rage fueled moments. As clarity retook him, he looked sheepishly up at the newcomer, unsure of what she would make of him.

* Angel smiles at the man and looks at her empty gun "Hate when I run out of bullets." She still looked like a wookie in her coat

‹GoggleSama› He took a moment to take in her appearance. She looked... Strange, but then who was he to talk right now? She spoke so casually, he had to wonder if maybe he was the weird one, over-thinking everything instead of just living in the moment. He didn't know how to even respond to her. "Er.. Me too?" The same feeling he had around 'Reka was present here, yet muted, barely noticeable. He couldn't even begin to understand why, having nothing to even begin to speculate on. His eyes dropped back down to the zombie beneath him, and he remembered what he had come here for. Taking the blade, Goggle cut away the ears of the monster and pocketed them for later. He would need to show them to 'Reka when he saw her next, though maybe he wouldn't tell her quite the full story. She didn't need to know how much time he was spending on his *** recently. Standing up smoothly, he offered his hand to the vampire before him. "I am Goggle, thank you so much for your assistance."

* Angel nodded "Names Angel and your welcome. Noticed your name on one of the Family boards. Just been turned?" She had been force turned but was growing to like this life. Though friends she had none she had been a pick pocket all her life

‹GoggleSama› He inclined his head to her in respect, resisting the urge to dip into a bow. His life of intense formality was long gone, it could only make him stick out now in the real world. Angel, a nice name, though what on earth was a family board? Another vampire thing he was yet to learn, perhaps? It mattered little right now, he supposed. They both seemed to be out of ammunition, and while she looked more than capable of taking care of herself, he found his hand was itching something fierce as the flesh began to knit itself back together. Vampiric healing, he was beginning to understand, was very useful if a little strange to experience. So much of this new life was the same way. He was still to learn his where anything in this town was, however, though 'Reka had told him the man standing nonchalantly in the corner, ignored by vampires and zombies alike, was willing to buy the zombie ears. He would not part from his trophy so soon, but he had a little cash in his pocket. Perhaps the gentleman would have some ammunition, or would know where he could purchase some. "I need just a moment to speak to the guy in the corner" His voice was gentle, he was unsure of how to address this Angel. An awkward silence followed before he approached the businessman. "Hello there, sir? Sir? Do you sell bullets?" The man stared at him blankly, before giving a faint shake of his head. Damn.

 Angel laughed softly "I know where to get them at and also how to steal them." She walked towards one of the abandonded rooms and picked the lock going inside it.

‹GoggleSama› Steal? Did she really say steal? Of course, why not. You already killed, why should stealing be wrong? There it was again, the voice he tried so hard to suppress within his mind. It was getting harder, and it had only been a few days. The vampire Angel was off again though, and if he hesitated he might lose her. Maybe he had misheard her. Sure, keep telling yourself that, my dear. A zombie began approaching him and he was so caught up in his own mind that he didn't even notice. A different vampire was already on top of it though, tearing it apart and holding it's ears up in victory. This was his life now, wasn't it grand. He rushed after the retreating form of his latest acquaintance as she slipped through a door.

* Angel looks around the empty room and then ploops down on the floor pulling out her guns and looking through them all. She then pulls out all her swords and daggers. "We can get more soon as I check out all these. Need any weapons?"

‹GoggleSama› Goggle blinked in surprise, staring down at the armory she seemed to be producing from nowhere. How could one person carry so much on them, and not show any sign of it... Vampire, right. Got it. She had so much, and he had... One empty revolver and a borrowed knife. Where would he begin with any of these weapons she had produced, though? He struggled as it was with a knife, how was he going to wield a sword? And all those guns! He had missed with his own, a simple thing. He would need to practice with what he had before he tried anything fancier. He shook his head, but smiled at her. "I am good, but thank you for your generous offer."

* Angel smiled "Your welcome my sire who turned me not by my choice by the way. Gave them to me. Also a tome to home."

‹GoggleSama› She remembered how she was turned? Why, then, did he have no memories of his own turning? He had just assumed that it was something to do with the turning, but what had happened to him before he became a vampire? He remembered the betrayal, the pain... But then the darkness swallowed him, and the next thing he knew he was standing over the body of a human, blood running down his chin. Everything that had happened in the days that followed had happened so quickly, that he hadn't had the time to think too much into his current circumstances. Now she was talking about a sire... Her creator, perhaps? And a Tome to Home? What was that all about? He found himself rubbing his temples, a headache coming on as he continued trying to remember things buried within his mind. Now was definitely not the time, not with those things in the next room. Who knows what would come through the door next, finding him distracted beyond reason. It took an effort, but he brought his eyes up to meet hers. "What is a Tome?" He managed weakly.

* Angel looks at him "Sit before you fall. As for a Tome it is a tablet that has an incantation on it to take you home."

‹GoggleSama› He backed up against the wall, sliding down it, holding his head in his hands. There was too much going on for him to think straight, but did she say it would take him home? This was incredible! He had heard rumors of magic back when he was human, but had never really expected them to be true. He sat there, remaining very still, willing her to tell him more.

* Angel looks at him and has a slight bit of concern. "You okay? I may be only 19 but I can tell your hurting for some reason." Yah the girl had a heart but she would not show it to everyone not even her sire.

‹GoggleSama› He waved his hand at her, not trusting himself to speak right now. He couldn't tell if she was genuinely concerned, or if it was just a general inquiry due to his sudden affliction. He had to shake it off, get his head back straight. Just sit there, stay here in this building. You saw some of those other vampires, they looked almost mindless. It could be you. No more worries. He entire body shuddered as the voice, once so gentle and sweet but now dripping with venom, whispered within his mind. What was happening to him? His voice was a croak when he finally managed to speak, "I'm fine. Where do we go next?"

* Angel looks at him and srugs her shoulders "Well I know it will be light soon and if you have no place this place is empty and for sale I saw so we can stay the day here. So why are you killing those zombies anyway?"
