"PFFT..." Sully snorted as she pulled herself off the wall, she heard Kraven's voice and soon turned to look at them. She smirked, as she swayed toward Sulos, standing by his side. The people began to circle them. She didn't have anything to defend herself and neither did Sulos. However; both knew how to defend themselves. The number was getting bigger, and Sulos began to question if he'd be able to protect his sister, let alone himself. "WE CAN DO IT!" Sulos looked at Sully, she was not in her best state of mind.

As Kai's mind raced for a solution, she realized what her dance partner was saying, and she felt the need to suppress a scowl. He didn't want her making a scene, so as to divert Dante's attention away from her and avoid any suspicion of her escaping. But for what reason? Hoping it was simply to help her get away from him, she took a deep breath and collected herself. After a few moments, she opened her eyes. She smiled politely at the man, and brought her hand to her head. "I'm terribly sorry, but all this dancing is turning out to be quite the workout. Would it be possible to get some air? I heard the palace courtyard is simply magnificent." She amazed herself at how cool, and almost flirtatious she sounded, but it seemed to please the man for his smile returned, even brighter than it was before. "Why of course, I wouldn't want to cause you any discomfort." He held out his arm for her to take, which she did, and the two began their casual stroll towards the doors.
Outside, the group had begun to attack. They started out by trying to pry the siblings apart; one managed to slip behind Sully and wrap an arm around her waist, while the another cocked back his fist, ready to strike Sulos in the face. The others closing in to create a gap.

Sully swung an elbow back as it managed to find a way to connect onto the side of his face. "LET ME GO!" She ordered, but only felt the grasp tightening, Sully growled under her breathe as she resumed to repeatedly strike the elbow on the spot. Sulos on the other hand his hands prompt close to his face as though keeping guard. He turned to see that another man was readying to strike Sulos towards his face, Sulos shifted to the left and grabbed the man's swinging arm and with that he turned and pulled sending the man flying over his back and shoulder and with that began to strike his face as well. "No one touches my beautiful face!" He insisted. Unfocused of his surrounding, Sulos wasn't certain of the other closing in to create a gap between him and his intoxicated sister.

Before they could make it to the door, a small group of men blocked their path. They nodded politely, the one in the centre bowing deeply as he spoke. "Our apologies, but the courtyard is currently off limits." Upon straightening from the bow, he grinned just enough for his fang to poke out from under his lip, and Kai felt her partner tighten his grip on her hand, as if to prevent her from attacking. "Oh, that is quite odd, as the Queen adores showing off her garden. And I am quite certain that I have seen a few people exit just moments ago. Has something terrible happened? Has there been an attack?" Kai looked to the man besides her, patience ticking away. "What are you doing? He’s obviously one of Kraven's lackeys." she snapped, tearing her arm from his. She advanced on the vampire until her face was inches from him. She had to stifle a shudder and keep her stomach from heaving at the stench of fresh blood that emanated from his mouth. Look, I want to talk to Kraven. No tricks, no attacks, no strings, just talk. I invoke parlez." The vampire's grin faded and he raised an eyebrow. "Parlay? Why would you waste your time with parlay? Kraven's made his intentions very clear." Kai was unable to respond, because her new friend stepped up and answered for her. "The lady is trying to be civil for the sake of your friend. And I recommend that you assist her, before she strikes you down. Or before Kraven finds out that you denied him a chance at possibly obtaining his goal." His oddly bi-coloured eyes seemed dark and malicious. The men exchanged glances, and eventually they parted, allowing them to exit. "Thank you." said the man graciously as he passed them. Kai looked at him through the corner of her eyes, "What's your deal, anyway? Who are you?"
Kraven had abandoned his post near the door and made his way to the man who was now struggling to hold onto Sully's waist. "Well, that was pretty easy." He grabbed her wrist as she finally managed to knock the vampire back, then swung it around behind her back, wrapping his other arm around her shoulders. Her grabbed a fistful of her hair, then jerked his arm back to expose her neck. "Now where were we before that bastard interrupted us? Oh yes." He grinned as he once again lowered his mouth to her neck, hovering to create anticipation. "Be warned, this might hurt a lot."
"Kraven!" yelled Kai as she ran down the steps. "Let them go!"

"SULLY" Sully could hear her brother calling out to her but it was already to late for her, everything happened so quickly and yet all she could do was feel her long red hair jerk back exposing the paleness of her neck, a small vein began to submerge, as her heart began to race, and she heard his voice, it was soft, sinister, and almost charming...however; he made it clear what his intentions were. "Now where were we before that bastard interrupted us? Oh yes!" Let go of me her thoughts kept screaming at her, she took a hard swallow and felt even more threatened as he began to near it with his sadistic words, "Be warned, this might hurt a lot" Her heart began to pump faster, despite the cold and the coldness of his flesh Sully could feel her body heat as she felt her fear bubbling through her blood scream, it was then a sudden yell came from a far "KRAVEN! Let them go!" She perked a smile as her eyes met her heroine Akkai..."KAI!" She called out. She felt useless...how could she get caught like this. "Let go of me!" Sully ordered as she began to struggle to break free.

It took Kai until she was a few feet from everyone, to realize that the strange man wasn't with her, but she didn't care. She stood tall, and proud, her arms at her sides and her face neutral. "I'm here to talk. Nothing more." she said, holding her hands out to prove that she was serious. Kraven wasn't a fool. He examined her closely, then nodded. "Then talk." "No, not until you release them." Kraven nodded to the men, who shoved Sulos towards Kai. He then returned his gaze to Kai's, still holding onto Sully. "I said 'them'. Meaning Sully too." She took a threatening step forward, and pulled back when Kraven pulled Sully's head back farther. "Careful now, I could kill her so quickly, it wouldn't be any fun. You want to talk, then talk. But I keep her here as your word that you won't attack." Kai's eyes narrowed and she bared her fangs. "And how exactly am I supposed to know that you won't just do what you want with her regardless of what I say?" Arrogance etched itself onto his face, and a dark grin pulled his lips back. "There's only one thing you can say to me that will spare her life." With a shaky breath, Kai replied. "Yes."

"No...DON'T LISTEN TO HIM!" Sully cried out as she began to try and force herself free out of his grasp, each struggle was more painful after the next. She swallowed hard as she looked at Sulos. Sulos stared at Kraven, his eyes burning on to him as he feared for his sisters life.

Kraven grinned at Kai, who returned his steady gaze. He threw Sully to the ground and extended his hand to Kai. Taking a deep breath, she walked over and accepted his hand.
Kraven's eyes glinted with delight, and anticipation. He couldn't believe that she was giving up so easily, and all for pitiful creatures who couldn't even fight. Hunger pierced through him as his hand closed around hers, and he pulled her to him. His eyes bore into hers and he felt his whole body tingle. He'd been craving her blood since he'd first tasted it, and now he would be able to taste it whenever he pleased. He pulled back his lips in a grimace, revealing his now fully elongated fangs, and lowered his head. But he did not bite, he simply hovered there. If he bit her, she would turn. If she turned, her taste would change. It would lose that life, that essence that drives him mad. So, he rammed his knee into her gut, causing her to double over and sputter. She slowly fell to her knees, both arms clutching her gut as she struggled to breathe again. Then he drew a knife from his boot and placed a decent cut in the meat of her shoulder. Kai let out a whimper as the blade sliced through her flesh. She swung a leg out and and kicked his feet out from under him. Then she pushed herself up and staggered back, bumping into one of the many vampires that now formed a ring around her and Kraven. "Sulos, take Sully and get out of here." Kai called, trying to find him over the various heads around. She turned back to find Kraven wrapping his arms around her. His mouth latched on to her bleeding neck, and she clenched her jaw, waiting for that pain. But it never came. The only sensation she felt was the blood being sucked from her opened wound. As his mouth encircled the wound, and the blood touched his tongue, Kraven felt a surge of lust course through him, and he tightened his grip around his victim. He made certain not to let his fangs pierce her skin, as to avoid injecting his poison. He felt his eyes roll to the back of his head, and he began squeezing her feverishly, as if trying to squeeze every last drop from her. But he knew he couldn't lose control. He needed just to weaken her. Yet it seemed that letting go of her would be impossible. Kai was beginning to have a hard time breathing, and her head grew lighter and lighter. Slowly, things began to spin and her legs buckled under her. "Stop." she whimpered, lazily trying to pry him away. "Kraven, please." Her voice was no more than a whisper as darkness engulfed her and she fell limp in his arms. But Kraven did not stop. Concerned, one of the vampires stepped up. "Kraven, you're going to kill her. You must cease." Upon touching Kraven's shoulder, Kraven released his grasp on Kai only to tear the other vampire apart.

Sulos nodded as he collected the concerned words of Kai, Sully only try pushing him away as she drunkenly attempted to be her bestfriends hero. The attempt was only stopped as he grabbed his sister and dragged her away with a quick dash, despite it all unfolding as such, in this state with little to no weapons both siblings could not save Kai. Something that he himself felt terribly wrong about, but without anymore doubting that what Kai had called out was the right decision, he did as such. Sully only cried out her name as she was being dragged away, trying to reach out as Kai only became a faint shadow from a distance. She was angry, why today did she decide to let herself fall pray for evil when earlier Kai was more determined to avoid it. She was both angry and confused, and yet all she could do was run away.
"BRAVO!" could be heard a man's voice pass the crowd of vampires surrounding Kraven and Kai, the echo of two hands connecting one in one repeatedly surrounded Kraven and his new pet as the man made himself visible by all. His hands still clapping as he looked around them. "I gotta say, that's a unique way of killing any small creature" by creature he meant Kai, which his eyes turned to look down at her, then returned to Kraven. "Well...you made it this far what next? Rule the world? With such poor style in killing I highly doubt that shall happen anytime soon" His voice despite being a music and gentle to their hears, was filled with malice and pure evil. He knew taunting Kraven would enrage him, but to him it was more humour than something he should fear for. By fact this man knew exactly what he was going to talk about. "...Well now that you've let the princess and prince of Forelock runaway, pretty much killed Dante's girl, what do you have to say for yourself?" His eyes beaming red, as sign that he himself wasn't human either.

Kraven's sanity slowly returned, now that he wasn't sucking out what little life Kai had left. He looked down and could feel her life slowly slip away and a sort of panic swelled within him, but he kept his exterior completely calm. He tossed Kai to the ground, standing. "She was just too delicious to take the chance at having to share." He licked his lips with a mischievous grin. "As for Dante, he'll just have to find himself someone new to torment. And about the Prince and Princess, they're not getting far." He turned and dashed after them. Above on a balcony, Dante stood, the strange man from earlier at his side. Disappointment bubbled within him as his most prized possession gave her life to a low-life like Kraven. "It seems she was not as strong as you had imagined, my Lord." spoke the man. Without a word, Dante left him to stand on the balcony alone. After a few moments, the man followed Dante inside. Below, Kai's hand twitched.

The man walked up to Kai's body as he proceeded to pick her up and tossed her over his shoulder. The other vampires watched him, and like a flash of light he vanished out of site with Kai. They appeared within a wooden shack, as he laid the girl onto the soft bed next to a furnace. "It's not to late" He whispered to himself as he stared down. Meanwhile, Sully felt Sulos hand loosen as they left the dark kingdom of Dark Springs. He took a deep breath as he looked around, and found that no one was following them. At least from what he could see. He looked at the now sobered Sully as she fell to her knees. She was trembling. How could she have done that to her friend. She felt the hate build up inside as she felt the anger boil inside her. She punched the dirt below her as she kept hearing Kai insisting they leave, and Sulos listening. She knew it wasn't their fault, but why then did she have to listen. She felt the comforting hand of Sulos rest around her as he embraced his twin in a hug. He hushed her to stop but yet after every silent hush she only felt the tears trail down more.
"You don't understand!" She moaned as she looked at her hands, those were the hands that could of saved her...and yet all she did was coward away like the rats of Treset, her father would have never tolerated this. She rubbed her eyes as she looked at her brother, "she's dead because of us..."

Kai's hand continued to twitch occasionally. But each time, it was weaker and weaker.
She ran down a hallway. Nothing followed behind her, but still she ran. Her lungs burned, her legs began to cramp, but still she pushed herself forward down the never-ending darkness. A strange feeling washed over her, pleading for her to turn around, but she ignored it. She felt like she was needed somewhere, like there was something she had to do... But what? Her body finally collapsed beneath her and she fell face down. She tried to get up, but her body refused to move. A sense of defeat blanketed her, and she curled up on her side, tears flowing from her eyes. "I'm sorry I failed you." she whispered into the stillness. Her eyes slowly closed, but they re-opened quickly when Kraven's face flashed behind her eyelids.
Suddenly, fire coursed through her veins as memories poured into the darkness around her, and she flew into a seated position on the bed with a nasty snarl. Her eyes were the darkest red, and her fangs were quite visible as she panted, glancing around. Her vision blurred as a dizzy spell hit her--she had lost quite a bit of blood, after all--and she grabbed her head with her hand. "You bastard, I'll make you pay."

"You can never trust a vampire" He said as he gathered broth and brought it to Kai, his eyes were almost hypnotic, and though she had just reawakened this man seemed to good to be trusted. Perhaps that's what the case may be, however; now he was the man that was going to nurse her back to health. His feet echoed after every footstep he took, he drew near and gave her the broth and bread. "Eat" He kindly suggested, "you need to gather your energy if you're going to be facing Kraven..." he smirked. His smile was dark, and though not much was yet known of him, he still expressed kindness, and his intentions with Kai were pure.

Kai forced her eyes to focus but a searing pain caused her to curl on the bed and groan. After a few breaths, she looked up again. "Who are you, and where am I? What happened?" She looked down at the broth and bread, accepting it, then began to eat and drink slowly. "Why are you helping me?" That was what she really wanted to know. Was he someone that Kraven had perhaps crossed at some point? Or did he intend to try and turn her into a vampire and use her as a weapon as Dante did. No one just risked their life to save a stranger, especially when surrounded by so many people. Then a thought struck her. "Where are my friends? Have they been hurt?" Many questions seemed to whizz around her mind, and she grew dizzy once again, causing her to spill the remaining bit of broth on the floor as her hand once again cradled her head. "I'm sorry." she said after a few moments. She then slid off the bed to clean up her mess.

"Your friends are fine for now, I'm more than certain. Don't feel threatened I'm a friend...you may call me Stryfe. I've taught Sully and Sulos all they know how to survive" He made it seemed as if he was alot older then he lead on, but he wasn't lying. "You need your strength fast, but in such conditions you'll not make it very far" he suggested as he pull a chair next to her bed, and sat down. "They think you're dead, you don't want to leave them disappointed to do?" He smirked.
