Festivals of Fantasy

[Blackest Night]

A laugh passed Alexander's lips as he walked ever closer to the Captain, giving hima sympathetic look. He smiled, like a mother trying to tell her child was was and wasn't real.

"You already know what we are. You just don't believe it."

The Captain was stunned. What was the nutcase talking about? These people, if they WERE people at all, weren't like anything he had heard about before. Most people weren't able to control an entire group of trained SWAT members with a single word. Most people didn't fall to the ground, dead, then get back up moments later. The only people like that were.....vampires. But thats ridiculous.

"WHat are you talking about........How do you know...."

Alexander patted the Captain on his head, tilting it backwards.

"How do I know what'[s going through your head? Psychology. In order to control your minds, I must know how they work."

He walked backwards slowly, clapping his hands together.

"Now, will you give her to me, or will you go for the primitive choice and try to kill me? Your choice."

Looking out a window at the smog covered, pollution filled skies above, he scoffed.

"Shows how far choice has gotten you people..."

The captain handed the 'vampire' off to another one of his men. As the captain opened fire towards the man who wanted the girl in the first place as they put erh girl down and injected more and more sleeping serum.

"...Captain! MOVE out NOW!"

 

[Blackest Night]

Alexander dived out of the way, landing behind a column. The bullets pinged and ricocheted off of the marble, leaving holes and dents in the once shiny material.

"Captain, captain, captain. Why must we resort to violence?"

He stood up straight behind the column and sighed. Alexander had hoped he wouldn't need to show his less welcoming side.

"Stop."

The firing immediately stopped and Alexander walked out from his position. He took one look at Liona before glaring up at the Captain

"Always with the violence."

Alexander's face began to change. His jaw stretched out, foot long fangs growing out, and skin seemed to peel off of him. In it's place, a dark purple, almost black reptilian skin took it's place. His legs melded together to form a tail with one hideous spikey fin at the end. His arms grew, and an extra pair sprouted beneath them.

In moments, Alexander was quite possible, the most hideous creature on the planet. His usual attractive shell was gone, replaced by a total opposite.

"Lovely, don't you think?"

 

[Obliviongirl13]

As the S.W.A.T team filed in they were all in aww, confuzed and scared.

"..."

She began to move. Her fingers twitched. One of the men held the door open as it hit her arm gently and the sunlight burned her skin.

"We'll burn her alive. Just go."

 

[Blackest Night]

"NO!"

The Alexander creature lashed out forward, it's arms riping through those holding Liona. He picked her out of their hands, holding her gently and blocking the sun from hitting her skin.

His eyes, now a pale white, looked down at her, then back up at the men.

"Let me show you who's really in charge here. "

A deafening roar sounded througout the entire city as Alexander reached out a clawed arm at one Swat member, ripping a hole straight through the kevlar and tearing out his heart.

The man was lifted into the air and a green aura came from his body. It hovered into the air for a moment before Alexander breahed it in. THe man aged instantly, his skin wriinkiling and his body hanging like a rag doll. Im moments, he was nothing but a pile of bone dust.

Alexander had absorbed his soul, the essenec of the mans life.

 

[Obliviongirl13]

Her fingers gently held onto alexanders arm as a few swat men shot at alexander and then one knocked them over.

Captain: The Serum is wearing off! Shoot her with more!

Orders were obeyed as two men shot her with two bullets worth, with higher doses, and she immediately became lifeless again. Men dragged her body across the floor and tied her up behind their makshift hold. Peparing to shoot alexander for any other rescue attempt.

 

[Blackest Night]

Bullets left holes in ALexander's chest. He was amazed at how much they hurt. They were much more paiful than the bows and arrows he remembered. An odd silence followed at the men prepared to reload.

"HOW DARE YOU!"

He charged forward, screeching loudly. His clawed hands were held up, ready to tear through human flesh.

"I WILL GET HER BACK!"

 

[Obliviongirl13]

As the men were sliding their fingers over the triggers as a man swiftly slid out and held out his hand and stopping the beast in his tracks.

???: Stop. Your causing quite a stur.

 

[Blackest Night]

Alexander skidded to a halt, his white eyes staring down at the man. His clawed hands balled into a fist.

"And who might you be?"

Black ooze dripped from his mouth, the monster equivalent of drool. Alexander sniffed the air around the man, trying to get a decent idea of who or what he was.

 

[Obliviongirl13]

"...I'm a friend."

He turned towards the girl as the men moved aside and he gently picked her up. Turning back towards Alexander, the mans eyes changed their devilish red eyes that were exactically like Liona's.

As she formed back into her astral self she turned towards the S.W.A.T men and she created a smoke shield around Alexander and herself as she melted back into her own body and her physical self slid to the floor again.

 

[Blackest Night]

Alexander, still in his not-so-pretty form, bent down and picked up Liona's limp body, cradling it in two of his four arms while the third picked the man up by his shoulder.

"You, you're coming with me."

Withthat, Alexander whipped around and disappeared up the stairs, leaving the remaining SWAT members behind in a confused daze.

 

[Obliviongirl13]

As they flew upstairs the man finally got out of the creatures grip and he followed Alexander. He wasnt afraid. But he was worried more about his master. She hasnt woken up in a few hours.

"..."

 

[Blackest Night]

Alexander broke through the door to the roof, placing Liona down gently. He turned back to the man, staring at him, sizing him up.

His skin peeled off once again, and in a few moments, the usual, attractive Alexander stood in it's place, his pleasant smile replaced with an angry scowl.

"Let's get right to the point. Who are you, what are you and why are you here?

 

[Obliviongirl13]

The man brushed himself off as he looked at Alexander. The man wore a nice suit, and was cleanly shaven. His sleek black hair dipped behind his ears.

"..Let me introduce myself. I am Kismal Vinthero. From Budapest. Your friend there, (points to Liona) Helped me out about 650 years ago."

He smiled.

 

[Blackest Night]

"And you a friend because..."

Alexander cocked an eyebrow. He stood protectively over Liona's body, waiting for any sign of her waking up. His arms were crossed and it was quite clear his patience with the world in general was running thin.

"Liona here has been alive for centuries, helping someone once barely classifies them as a friend."

 

[Ulti]

"Don't be such a untrusting Siren!If Liona saved him for a good reason and if he is willing to help us take over this world..I say let him in."Edrea grinned from a hole from the ceiling."Even if he is a traitor..He seems to be a decent meal for my pups.."

 

[Obliviongirl13]

As her fingers started to move the man smiled and he pointed. She's going to be hungry.

The man walked off and he left the room as she sturred more. Her face was paler than normal and her skin was cracked and dry.

"..."

 

[Blackest Night]

Alexander bent down, lifting Liona's head slightly off the ground. Her movements were barely noticeable and she seemed drained. Her skin felt dry to the touch and fragile, as if it would break if touched.

"Come on Edrea, time to go hunting."

He lifted Liona off the ground and, staying in the shadows, looked for an exit out of the building. The sun would set soon and they would be free to leave this place.

 

[Ulti]

"Good..I need to stretch my legs and get some fresh air.Never hunted at night in a long time..But we better hurry and get a lot of blood..I never seen a vampire this pale.Good thing the full moon already passed.."

 

[Obliviongirl13]

She clutched onto alexanders arm as she closed her eyes. Her slender fingers were as white as snow. Her hair turned to its dull black from its normal hazelnut brown. It was like she was when she was sleeping again within her tomb. She used to be lively and ubeat when she was worshiped thousands of years ago. Though most of the time Liona wasnt happy. Always feeling as though she was missing something important.

She was being treated like a glass doll. If she broke, there might not be anyway to fix her.
