Path of the Vampire forum

Anemoi didn't know what to do with himself anymore ever since he got the **** beaten out of him by Kira's, well whatever the hell he was to her. He growled slightly at the thought of her having a boyfriend. She was really out of his reach now she seemed to trust a man. He sighed softly, shaping his blade absent mindedly.

"I really do hate you but for Christ's sake, get over it. Your depressed moody *** self is making my life even more eh." Ricky said, the vampire he enslaved said. "Course you were always moody.."

"**** off." Anemoi replied, "Why are you even here? I didn't call you." he grumbled.

"Just wanted to bug the hell out of you." Ricky replied, "Big bad pally can't get a date."

"Big bad vampire got enslaved by a human." Anemoi retorted, amusing himself as Ricky growled in replied.

"He got you there." a new voice said, it was Jerry, the human Anemoi 'bewitched'. The man was better off bewitched, drinking and using drugs, he was about dead when he did it.

"Stay out of it." Ricky snapped.

Anemoi stood up, "Why the hell is everyone in my apartment!?" he had it, he just wanted to be alone like he normally was. He grabbed Ricky by arm, "Out you useless piece of ****." he said, throwing him out the door. "Get moving Jerry before I toss you out too."

"Come on man, I'm hungry." Jerry replied.

"I don't care. Go make some money and buy some." Anemoi said, shoving the man out the door too.

"You know I'm hungry too." Ricky said with a smirk, eyeing Jerry. Jerry screamed as Ricky started to chase him down the hall. Anemoi slammed the door shut.

'My place has turned into a ******* nuthouse.' Anemoi thought, sitting back down. He did need something else to do. Something to take his mind off of her...

Fighting with people online was a bore, who the hell let in these people in the order. The Order was a damn joke, the leader was never ******* around and not to say letting vampires in and all that ****. It had been long time the so called leader has been seen, heard. Not that he had seen the man before, that he knew of. ****, he couldn't keep track of when this guy was around.

That would give him something to do. They were paladins, they should be out battling vampires and only a couple of them EVER fought them. Again, that's why it was a damn joke. He stood up, maybe he could find some clues at the church. He grabbed his things and headed out the door.

He took out his phone, his finger hovered above Mike's name. If there was a computer, he would need someone to hack it. But did he want to get Mike involved in this? If he was able, he was just going to take over The Order, try to make it into something more than it ever had. Put some damn rules up, like no fighting with other members. Man how he just wanted to slice that woman's throat open, annoying little *****. And of course, no vampires as members. Anemoi knew that Mike had plenty of vampire friends, but Mike was there for support, he wasn't a fighter at all which was fine. He didn't want to see the young man hurt. Well he suppose he'll just have to figure that out if he finds a computer, he was hoping for paper files but everything was on computer these days. If he was going to take over the order, it meant taking over the board and the church, so he can kick out people and let new people in.

Anemoi wasn't even paying attention to where he was walking but found himself in front of the church just the same. He quickly went through the first floor and went on up to the second, looking around. There were computers here but he doubt anything valuable would be on a computer that was out for public use. He went on, not knowing what apartment might be it or if the useless leader even had one here. He didn't want to break into each apartment and explore, well now he can see how a ghost would come in handy. While he might be able to see them if he takes blood from the right vampire, he really doubt some dead person would help him and it was far beyond creepy.

"Hmm..." Anemoi turned back to check out the computers that were there, he had no leads yet so he might as well check out what was there on the computer and around the area.

The day was a beautiful spring day, too beautiful to stay indoors. Katie slid on her tennis shoes and headed out the door. The sun was high in the sky and the warmth brought a smile to her face. Smiles had seemingly disappeared from life since the day she had heard of Verne’s death. He had been a good friend and had always been close until he got involved with a vampire.

Katie did not allow herself to think about the past much. Verne had been the first Paladin to befriend her. They had one date that ended with her having to take care of him because he was so high and drunk. It was not her scene and she did not understand why Verne did those things, especially now when one needed their wits about them with vampires running around. They had become close friends after that. He was always different with her when they were alone and she had wished others could have seen that side of him. That all ended when Dom started acting bitchier than normal and making snide comments about their date at the meeting.

A big sigh fell from the woman’s lips. She had never understand how he could love a vampire, a Paladin whose whole reason for being was to rid the world of them could put so much trust in one. Those two had been a big reason Jason had left. After the way Dom treated him, calling him out in public for doing what they all were supposed to be doing, doing what she herself had done all the time. To this day, it still made Katie mad that she, no they had treated him like some child. Jason had been training her so they could make hits together. Things seemed to have changed for everyone about that time. Verne had brought a bunch of strangers that only he and Dom knew into leadership or key positions. The meetings always were called when only they could show up, it did not really seem to matter about the rest of the membership and the day the vote was cast whether Dom, a vampire, should be allowed to stay, it was their inner circle that group who had voted. The rest of the membership should have been given a vote even though they could not be at the meeting but Katie had a suspicion it was done on purpose.

Her face-hardened at the memory, she would always wonder if Verne had been bewitched somehow. Those that were not included in their little group soon began to drift away and take care of things in their own way that was ineffective at best. They needed more. They needed to be fighting as a team. As far as she knew, The Order had never made an official attack since Verne had taken over. She did not know about the predecessor but it had been too long and too many weird things were happening.

Katie rounded the corner, not paying attention to where she was going when she looked ahead and saw the Cathedral standing proudly against the blue, spring sky. She had not been here since Verne’s funeral. She wondered if their offices were still there.

“I’ve lost a friend and a boyfriend because of this stupid thing,” she mumbled under her breath as she walked towards it. She was like a moth drawn to the flame, unable to stop herself even if her morbid curiosity was not at full bore. The church was empty; the vicar must have been in his office. She wondered if her key still worked as she headed for the elevator. She got on and soon the doors opened and realized someone was there as well. She slid her pistol from its holster and slowly walked into the room staying near the wall and headed down the corridor to the main room. Her senses were alert hoping she would not have to kill someone today.

As she slowly made her way to the main room, she could hear someone on the computer. She peeked around and their back was to her. She silently moved into the room and trained the gun on the man’s head. Her finger was on the trigger and ready when she spoke, “Who the hell are you and what are you doing in here?”

Anemoi moved some papers around, waiting for the computer to load. Nothing of interested. His eyes turned to the computer screen, there could be hidden files and he didn't have the skills to find them. Going through what he could find, games, other programs. He was so focused on what he was doing, he didn't know anyone else was coming until it was too late. He had a gun to his head.

He slowly turned towards the woman, "It's me, Anemoi also known as Windy." he replied, his name was on their board enough so hopefully he didn't get shot. "I'm here trying to figure out a way to save the order since we have no leadership to speak of. I can't do that if you kill me."

Katie dropped the gun as the man turned to face her, recognizing him immediately. She had seen him around but really had never spoken to him. Katie was usually shy though Jason had helped her to learn to stand up for what she believed in and not just be a puppet.

Pulling up a chair next to him she sat down looking at the computer screen then to him. "You know I haven't been back in here since the day of Verne's funeral. I watched them put his body into the ground and I just couldn't bring myself to come up in here."

Katie sat lost in thought thinking about the changes in Verne that had happened when he had come back, in love with a disgusting vampire and had let all these new people in and gave them jobs, overlooking the faithful members that were there. Now some were vampires and they all seemed to be thriving well in their new lives.

"Have you found the membership role yet? And when you say take over you mean you really want to take over and do something with this thing?"

She sized him up making a decision, "I want to help. You can't do it alone but if we are going to do this I need to know if you are wanting to let the riff raff.namely vampires, back in?"

Anemoi let out a sigh once the gun wasn't pointed at his head. He looked back at the computer, "I have an apartment here, though it's not my main one.." he said, "Tired of the **** that's going on our board." he hadn't been sure if Verne was dead or just faked his death. Either way, The Order had always came second to everything else going on with that man.

"I'm not a computer wiz. I know one.." he replied, "Looking for passwords to the board, to transfer ownership. Not sure what to do with this place, fake a sale and put the deed in my name." He looked over at her. "Well yeah. Wouldn't be much point of taking over it and not doing anything with it. Otherwise I would have just left. Been by myself this whole time as the Order never did ****."

Anemoi was happy for the offer of help, he wasn't sure if he could do it alone. He never really wanted a leadership role. "Ha. I was completely against letting vampires in. One of the many things decided without talking with people." he said, "While there are some vampires I do talk to...The Order is for humans only."
