City of Vampires

[Blakmoon]

Lunelle was walking down the a path. She wasn't sure where it was heading but she didn't care all that much. As long as it got her away. She had been having flash backs that had been hasher and longer than before.

The path was simple, but long. It weaved in and out of old trees that had many knots and grooves. The grooves were deep and saddening. It was as if they had been cut in by claws and had burned the trees soul itself. None of this had made sense to Lunelle, so she continued down the path and find out what she could.

She had been trying to figure out what had caused the grooves when ubrubtly stopped at the edge of a pond. She stared intrigued. It had an unearthly glow to it.

As soon as she saw the pond she blacked out. It was another flash back.

Lunelle saw herself walking down a path very similar to the one she had just walked down, and stopping at the edge of a lake. One that looked like the pond but on a much larger scale. She was standing at the edge, but something she couldn't quite see scared her and she fell into the water. As she flailed her arms about and kicked, for she didn't know how to swim all that well, something started to move at the edge of Lunelles vision. She could see herself and no one else but sense something lurking in the sidelines. This something jumped out and saved her younger self, she more felt and new this than say what had happened next.

She woke up shaking, she was remebering things she wished she wasn't. There was a reason the brain locked these things away. Although she was curious as to what had saved her younger self and if it was somehow related to this place. While lost in thought she started to hear rustling behind her, this brought her to full alert and a fighting stance.

The night was pleasant as the gentle breeze ruffled through her fur in a soothing rhythm. The pulse of life around her brought the fragment scent of the world on the breeze to dance about her nose. With a sigh she lurched forward and trotted along the path, her breathing taking in each new scent. Grinning a wolfish grin she opened her maw and let the tip of her tongue hang out. It was times like this she just let herself go, enjoy the simple sensations of the world beyond what she was. True it was pleasurable and as close to freedom as she could get; away from the troubles of her not so normal life.

With a small leap she jumped over a downed tree, her paws crunching softly again the brush and leaves on the ground. Light amber eyes darted around before she took off again in a faster pace, her mood light.

“The pond should be coming up soon…” her mind mused happily. She loved that pond and its little mysteries. The light that shone beautifully from its wet depths, “just up ahead…”

With another half jump she pushed suddenly through the brush and came face to face with an intruder. Skidding to a halt she half yelp half gasped in surprise before backing up hurriedly. The scent that assaulted her nose put her heart to beating faster and her senses on high alert. Ruffling her fur of gold and silver as she lowered her head with a nervous growl. Her light amber eyes piercing in their intensity and pearly fangs protruding from her lip.

Scarred practitcly numb, (the numbness was a reaction that only accured when her body felt it was in real danger, and now it felt that but and an unerving rate) Lunelle starred straight into the eyes of the "thing" snarling in front of her.

She was aware of the fact that she wasn't quite sure who the "thing" in front of her was. The sent was absolutely revolting, yet not at the same time. She could have sworn she had smelled it before, not wanting to be the victim yet another flash back and sundenly pass out right in front of this thing. She was sure it would kill her if she gave it any chance what so ever.

So in a rare moment of enlightenment she decided to just sit down. Let go of her fighting stance and just sit. Sit and stare into the things liqued amber eyes. She wasn't sure how long the two stared before she finally had had enough.

She blinked and asked, "who are you and where am I?"

Raelin stared back, her eyes boring into the girl’s as if she was also frozen stiff. Muscles rippled under her golden silver fur as they quivered with the pent up emotions and adrenaline. Her ears flicked forward when Lunelle suddenly sat down and her head raised slightly in a surprised motion.

“This scent, a vampire.. a vampire right in front of me..” Raelin’s mind whirled in her confused, startled state, “a vampire, will it try to kill me?” the beast inside her mind whispered softly to her, whispering that if she moved quickly Raelin could kill her before she herself was in danger.

She was ill prepared for the next move Lunelle made, her maw dropping open suddenly in an almost comic gesture. Her liquid amber eyes blinked in startlment and she took a step backwards as her head tilted. In her amazement the muscles stopped nervously twitching under her thick coat.

“Wh…what?” a growl echoed from between her lips.

“"Wh…what?” a growl echoed from between her lips. ""

Lunelle was not numb anymore, she was now curios beyond any human way. She thought to herself, the thing talked to me, hmm... Its can't be fully human, its smell rotten but it looks scarred.

Lunelle sat up straighter at this thought. Even though she had put herself in a submissive position she would not look less of herself than what she was. She had to be strong. If she wasn't and hadn't been strong she would have died the first time she was turned.

She looked back up at the thing, staring it staight into its eyes. She had to get out of here quick she could feel herself growing weak and there for more likely to have another flash back. If that happened again who new what this creature would do.

Lunelle asked again "Who are you, where am I, and I ask you what are you?"
