RPG - Supernatural: Vampire vs Werewolf (Page 21 of 27)

Daphne took Anita to her room and cringed as she opened the door. She and Nathaniel had certainly made a mess. “Sorry about the mess,” Daphne said feeling her cheeks burn pink with embarrassment.

Anita smiled knowingly, “Don’t worry I understand.”

That made Daphne feel even more embarrassed, this was Nathaniel’s mother after all.

“So you wish to speak of Nathaniel and the Luna Eclipse,” Anita probed as she sat down on the floor away from the broken items.

Daphne joined her, “Yes. I wasn’t sure exactly how much he knows.”

Anita nodded, “I seriously doubt his father told him anything. Our time together was short, though I loved him a lifetimes worth.”

Daphne didn’t probe any deeper into Anita’s past. “So you don’t think Nathaniel would know about the ritual to bind mates together?”

Anita shook her head, “I doubt it. If he does he’d have read it from a book.” Anita let out a sigh, “Unfortunately Nathaniel has been more concerned about killing werewolves then getting to know them.”

Daphne felt as though her heart had suddenly been frozen into a heavy lump, “So his response to me could simply be a reaction to the Luna Eclipse because he hasn’t been with a she-wolf before?”

Anita shrugged, “Who knows what he’s thinking. But in all my years of snooping around I’ve never seen him look at another female the way he looks at you.”

That gave Daphne some relief but not a lot, “I think I should tell him about the ritual.”

Anita tilted her head to study Daphne, “Why?”

“We have drawn each other’s blood in the heat of passion. He has bitten me once, I don’t think he realises the implications of doing so during the Luna Eclipse.” Daphne pointed out feeling ashamed of sharing such an intimate moment with Nathanial’s mother.

“Ah,” Anita said, “He’s following his instincts even if he does not know the ritual.”

“I think he deserves to know what he’s getting into,” Daphne pointed out.

Anita shrugged, “He needs a good woman and you are certainly that.”

“You haven’t really answered me,” Daphne replied.

Anita smiled, “You know you could be carrying my grandchild even now. How would you feel if Nathaniel rejected the idea of becoming your life mate only to find out that you’re pregnant with his child?”

The thought chilled Daphne, “He should still have a choice.”

“And maybe you should wait to find out if you’re going to be a mother,” Anita told as she got to her feet. “A she-wolf needs her mate during such a time. To give up a child is the worst thing a mother can ever experience.”

Daphne sat in shock. The logical part of her brain had ceased to function when Nathaniel was around. She should have remembered that pregnancy was an extremely high risk in the upcoming time of the Luna Eclipse. She looked at Anita, “How long before I’ll know?”

“If you don’t get morning sickness straight away then a pregnancy test will work after 10 days,” Anita informed her.

Daphne swallowed, ten days would mean she’d know after the Luna Eclipse.

Anita touched her shoulder, “Think on it a while. Besides we still have the demons to defeat.” With that Anita left.

Daphne got to her feet and started to clean up in an attempt to clear her mind. She picked up a photo frame that the glass has smashed in. It was a photo of her family back when her mother and brothers had been alive. A question came to mind, Had Nathaniel been the slayer who had killed her brothers?

The night approached.  The wolf in him was restless.  It hadn't killed humans for a long while.  For too long he had been suppressing it.

He gave himself to the wolf.  It choose a half-human half-wolf form.  Silently he left the conclave and headed to the city.

((I want some confrontation.  ))

Daphne decided to see if Nathaniel had returned to his room. She knocked on the door and he opened it with a smile, “Hey gorgeous.”

She smiled in return, very tempted to push him back onto the bed and have her way with him. Instead she said, “Can we talk?”

Nathaniel opened the door wider for her, “Come in but I need to get ready to hunt.”

Daphne walked inside and felt Nathaniel’s hand move to her backside as he closed the door. “No more pinching,” she said sternly to him.

Nathaniel raised his hands in the air in mock surrender, “You got the wrong man. I’m innocent.”

Daphne smiled as she realised that Nathaniel only played these silly games with her. She wondered if he even realised that he’d let his guard down with her. She walked up to him with her hands behind her back and stopped only a hands breadth away from him. “Is that so? I would have thought you’d hunt down and kill anyone else to put their hands on your woman?”

Nathaniel grinned and placed both hands on her behind, “Okay it was me.” He pulled her close for a hot kiss. Daphne closed her eyes and pressed against him. She almost forgot why she’d come to see him. She broke off the kiss but he still held her close. “I came here to talk.”

Nathaniel grinned at her wickedly, “You’re a woman and I’m told they can do more than one thing at a time.”

“Except it’s hard to talk if you’re kissing me,” Daphne pointed out.

Nathaniel shrugged, “So talk.”

Daphne let out a sigh, “Have you ever hunted in Murk Valley before?”

Nathaniel moved and sat on the bed while he still had his arms around Daphne so she sat on his lap. “No I haven’t hunted here before or at least that I can remember. Why do you ask?”

Daphne pulled a photograph from her pocket and showed it to Nathaniel, “This is a photo of my family. My mother was killed by a slayer which my father is currently pursuing in France. My brothers were also killed by slayers, I’m just hoping it wasn’t by you.”

Nathaniel frowned and took the photo out of her hand to study it, “I don’t remember their faces but it depends on what form they were in and where they were killed.”

Daphne looked down, not sure what she should do. Nathaniel cupped her face with his hand, “Look at me.”

She looked up at him as he asked.

“I’m a slayer and I have killed a lot of supernatural things in my time. In the heat of battle you don’t always look at your opponent thoroughly. There’s just not the time,” Nathaniel explained.

“Why did you choose to kill your own kind?” Daphne found herself asking.

Nathaniel let out a curse, “I’m half-wolf, Daphne. The only true werewolves I’d seen were vicious and deadly. They killed anyone who crossed their path. I could never accept that side of myself. I tried to remain as human as possible.”

“You don’t like what you are?” Daphne asked as she reached out to touch his face, she traced her finger along his eyebrow, down his cheek and to his collarbone. Before he could answer she whispered quietly, “I like what you are.”

She saw that he caught his breath at her touch and when he looked at her it was with desire. “You’re the first she-wolf I’ve wanted to be with.”

She smiled but it was touched with sadness, “What do you know of the Luna Eclipse?”

Nathaniel grinned at her devilishly, “I know it makes me want to do all sorts of things to you.” His grinned widened, “Well some of those things I may have already done but I’d like to repeat them, over and over again.”

Daphne could help but smile back, “You said you needed to get ready to hunt.”

“I never said what I felt like hunting,” Nathaniel said in low in his throat as his eyes moved to study her lips.

“No but I thought it involved going out,” Daphne said knowing she should probably get off his lap.

Before Daphne could react, Nathaniel spun her to the side and down on the bed he moved over her and pinned her hands above her head. She tilted her head to study him, “I believe I have already surrendered to you, sir.” She teased.

Nathaniel eyed her hungrily, “I can’t seem to get enough of you.”

As his mouth came down to claim hers Daphne spoke, “You know the Luna Eclipse makes us more fertile.”

Nathaniel paused to look at her, “What do you mean?” he asked as his lips brushed over hers.

“I mean if we keep this up we might become parents,” Daphne said and expected him to get off her like a scalded cat.

Instead he studied her intently with an expression on his face she couldn’t read. “I should get ready shouldn’t I?”

“I guess so,” she replied and waited for his reaction.

Karen held Griggs in her arms. He still hadn’t answered her about the whereabouts of her brother’s car but she found she wanted other things, namely some quality time with Griggs. She felt almost shy but the Luna Eclipse was calling to a base need that she hadn’t felt towards any other werewolf. “Griggs, I ah wondered,” she started feeling nervous.

Griggs looked at her and Karen felt rather hot and bothered, “Do you want to come see my room?” she blurted out.

Griggs blushed the Luna Eclipse was coming but he was an old fashioned kinda guy. He scratched his head, “How about we go to a movie?”

Karen grinned seeming relieved, “Okay what will we see?”

Paul was slid into an alley.  He sat there and waited.  Soon enough he saw a lady struggling with a man who was trying to relieve her of the purse she was carrying.  Saliva was forming in his mouth.  He leaped across the street in 2 bounds and was upon the mugger.  Taking out his jugulars the man was dead before he could scream.  The lady not seeing much because of the darkness came up behind him.

"Thank-you sir!  I was scared spitless!  I thought he was going to kill m-"  She stopped dead as Paul brought his bloodied muzzle up from the corpse.  Her mouth was opening in a scream but Paul was faster.  He shot out his paw tearing out her throat.  Her hands went to her neck trying to stop the blood as she fell to the ground.  After having his fill he made his way out of the alley.  Sniffing the air he picked up a scent.  Vampires.  The wolf wanted to hunt.  But he wanted to go back.  But the wolf had not been fully sated.  It wanted more blood.  He sniffed the air again.  One scent was familiar.  It was the Asian vampire.  The other was unfamiliar.  Slinking through the shadows he made his way to the source of the smell.  Hopefully the wind would stay at his back.

"Yeah ok then. I was going to go to the practice room before checking in with the Doc. Care to join me? I think I could teach you a thing or two." Fort said as he lifted Nasher off a table and clipped it to his back.

Fort didn't want Daphne to think that he wanted nothing to do with her after finding out that she could get pregnant. Yet Fort did not want a child to be quite honest. At least not now, later on, when he retired and had time to take care of a son or daughter maybe. He did not want a repeat of his own life for his child. He did not want him or her growing up without a mother or father and being confused about what they are. He saw the pain his father endured not being bale to raise him with Anita, he didn't want that again. Fort would commit to the child, and Daphne. Yet before that could happen.....he wanted to save his father.

This argument raises another question however. During past Luna Eclipses Fort found that he could not satisfy his lust with human women. He required the supernatural ferocity and passion of a werewolf like Daphne. Then how was it that Elric was able to qwell Anita's lust? What supernatural quality did Elric have that could satisfy Anita?.....

(Hee Hee Hee

P.S.

IM BACK WOOOOOOOOO!!!!! Expect somewhat normal and more frequent posts now. The Balor Lord fight will be soon )

Loxley left the company of Crispin and was determined to put his new skills into practice. He was going to keep his anger in check, as it was no longer going to rule him. In the meantime however he was going to make Paul’s life extremely uncomfortable.

Loxley took his time wandering around the conclave. He made himself ignore Daphne and Nathaniel as he passed the Practice Room. He came to the Mess Hall and found who he was looking for: Michelle.

Michelle sat eating a bowl of noodles looking rather solemn. Loxley grabbed a muesli bar and sat down opposite her. “How are you Michelle?”

She looked up in surprise, “Oh hi Loxley, I’m okay I guess.”

Loxley raised a brow, “That’s unusual for you Michelle, normally you are more upbeat.”

Michelle twirled her fork in her noodles and studied it, “I guess I was hoping Paul would let me back him up when he takes on the demons.”

Loxley had to stop himself from smiling, this was almost too easy. “Wait, Paul doesn’t want you to fight with him? That seems odd, most males want a female who is willing to fight with them, it proves that they will be a fierce mother when the time comes.”

Michelle chewed her bottom lip, “He said he didn’t want me to get hurt.”

“He’s worried he won’t be able to protect you, it’s the Omega coming out in him.” Loxley said coolly, suppressing his anger and letting it only simmer.

Michelle looked at him with concern, “He’s not the Omega anymore, is he?”

Loxley leaned back in his chair, “He’s been the Omega for a long time, what makes you think that his way of thinking has changed?”

Michelle picked up her fork and looked even more concerned, “He seems to have changed as he helped take down a whole coven of vampires.”

“He may have been holding the ammunition for all you know. Don’t be fooled Michelle, Paul is an Omega at heart and always will be.” With that he stood and left Michelle to ponder what he said.

Paul smiled a wolfish smile as he saw the vampires pull out their swords.  He charged muscles pumping.  Had they not enhanced relfexes Paul would have gored the male.  But he barely managed to get out of the way and Paul glanced off him sending him into the female.  Paul wheeled and saw the two vampires get up fast.  The male charged and Paul side stepped his attack and was about to slug him but the other female was bringing her sword down.  It glanced off of his shoulder.  He howled as pain erupted in his left arm.  Silver.  He snarled at female.

"Oooh that one looked like it hurt wolfie.  Shall we dance?"  She bared her fangs at him and came in for a side-slash.  Paul was fast and had one of his sai blocking the blade.  SHe didn't expect that.  But the other vampire was there with his blade.  Before he could bring it around Paul used his free hand to smash him across the face and shove off the female.  He turned and faced them both, both sai ready.

Joo-Eun smiled as she’d been looking for a fight. Striker moved in and tried to keep the wolf’s attention. Joo-Eun moved to the side and decided to make things interesting. She cut low and hamstrung the wolf’s right leg. “Let’s see you run now, scumbag,” Joo-Eun hissed.

The wolf lunged at her and bit at her face, Joo-Eun snarled and bared her teeth. Striker tried to decapitate the wolf but Joo-Eun was in the way. Paul deflected the blow but Joo-Eun sank her teeth into his neck and feed on the wolf before he threw her into a wall. Joo-Eun laughed manically, “You’re tasty wolf, I plan to bleed you dry.”

Loxley helped Michelle carry Paul to her room. He didn’t say a lot although he could have easily carried Paul on his own. He shifted Paul roughly to land on Michelle’s bed, “Hopefully he won’t bleed everywhere.” Loxley commented.

Michelle quickly grabbed a first aid kit and started looking over Paul. “Oh my, he’s been bitten by a vampire!”

Loxley turned his head to examine the wound, “So much for your mighty hunter.”

“Now’s not the time to discuss such things, just help me.” Michelle said with annoyance.

Loxley shrugged, “Fine but he’ll heal. I survived a sword through the head.”

Michelle looked surprised by that, “Really?”

Loxley nodded, “Yep Paul’s a little fragile by the looks of it.”

Paul groaned as he tried to wake.

Anita made her way toward Crispin’s quarters. She wanted to know what his plans where for the up and coming fight with the demons. She also wanted to know his thoughts on her son.

Anita knocked on the door and Crispin opened it and smiled as he saw her, “To what do I owe the honour?”

A small smile escaped Anita’s lips, “I’ve come to talk about the preparations and Nathaniel.”

Crispin raised a brow, “Sit down.”

Anita found a chair and did just that. “You didn’t seem too concerned about your grandson playing bait to a demon. I was wondering why?”

Daphne managed to block the blow but only just, "Hey I wasn't even ready."

Nathaniel grinned, "You must always be ready. You're opponent won't wait for you."

"True I guess," Daphne said as she struck back. Her attention was momentarily distracted as she saw Loxley walk by. She had expected him to walk in but he passed with only the briefest glance. She felt the cool blade of Nathaniel's blade touch her throat. She hissed as it started to burn.

"Oh sorry, I'm used to sparring with humans." Nathaniel said as he moved the silver blade off her skin.

Daphne touched her fingers to the burn, it was already healing. "Does it bother you that I'm not human?"

Daphne's landing was hard but she appreciated what Nathaniel was trying to do. The demon would have no mercy so that was why he was showing none. Daphne stood, rapier in one hand and a spear in the other. She calmed herself and calculated her next move. As she had hoped, Nathaniel attacked. This time she watched his shoulders to gage his movements. She managed to avoid a few blows by blocking with the rapier though it was hard one handed.

She twisted the spear to wrap it under her arm. She pivoted so Nathaniel would have to duck to avoid being hit. He tried to chop the spear but Daphne kept him occupied with her rapier she marked his forearm with a Z.

"I thought Daphne started with a D, not a Z." Nathaniel said cheekily.

"Zorro's my hero," she grinned in response. She flicked the spear at him and he deflected it. Now it was her turn to take him off guard, "Your fangs have grown."

Nathaniel's hand instinctively moved to his mouth and Daphne took her opportunity. She threw the rapier in the air, shifted to wolf form and ran beneath Nathaniel's legs. She shifted back to human form caught the rapier and held it against his throat. "Do you yield?"

Nathaniel grabbed her with one hand and flipped her over him and onto her back. She looked up and him and laughed, "You don't give up, do you?"

Nathaniel shook his head, "You can't give up when you know that you'll die if you do."

Daphne nodded, perhaps it was why she was losing. She wasn't taking it seriously because she was fighting Nathaniel and she trusted that he wouldn't truly hurt her. Nathaniel offered her a hand up and she accepted it. As she stood she realised that her clothes were a shredded mess from her transformation. "Guess I better get changed," she commented.

Nathaniel grinned, "I don't mind if you stay as you are."

"Of course you don't," she said in response. She raked him with her eyes then raised her sword, "Well your not exactly fully dressed so I guess we can continue."
