RPG - Supernatural: Vampire vs Werewolf (Page 5 of 27)

John checked his watch, eight o'clock, he risked a look out side, the sun was down. He walked over to Audrey "Its dark out." He placed his hand on the back of his neck "If you want, you could stay at my appartment, its alot cleaner, the rooms are sunproofed, I have food, normal food I mean, and you dont need to pay for it."

Nick stood up, and scented.  It wasn't a Vamp, but it wasn't one of the pack either.  HE shrugged his shoulders; he had no clue what it was.  He enjoyed his half-and-half form, it gave him both immense strength, senses and agility, while retaining his inteeligence.  And the fur really helped in the winter time.  With a mighty leap, Nick shot up into the branches of the tree, clawed hands tearing into the bark, gripping handolds and footholds as he climbed up.  When he got to the source of the scent, he was really thrown for a loop.  It looked like....well, a Dragon.  But they were supposed to be extinct.  He put his hands outwards, in a display of friendship, also showing that he held no weapons, and that he meant no harm.

((Okay, Mandal, there you go. Cover's blown))

Audrey looked a John quizzically, “Why would I want food?”

She touched her face, so her tongue had healed. John opened the door and Audrey’s nose caught the scent of humans and more importantly human blood. “No,” she gasped as she felt the hunger strike.

John seemed to realise what was happening, “Fight it.”

“I can’t,” she choked as her breathing became rapid almost to the point of hyperventilating. Then she ran, with no particular direction. She needed to feed. She paused outside a nightclub and dashed inside. The music was loud and the room smelt of sweat and alcohol. But it was the smell of blood that drew Audrey in.

“Hey babe, how you doing?” A man said as he draped his arm around her shoulders. He looked like a Billy Idol wannabe but Audrey didn’t care, he was food.

Daphne decided to go alone. As she walked through the forest her mind wandered. What if Fran was right? Could the Luna Eclipse make you so unreasonable that you’d take anyone as your mate? The thought scared her. She knew males were affected first by the Luna Eclipse and it could explain Loxley’s growing obsession.

She shook her head. No Loxley had been infatuated with her for a long time, his possessive nature had just increased in intensity. Perhaps it was an effect of the Luna Eclipse. That stopped her in her tracks. Would she become so consumed with the need to mate that she’s actually consider Loxley? The thought chilled her. No, there was no way she’d ever consider the unbalanced Loxley.

Daphne shook her head to clear her thoughts. She started moving again. It took her twenty minutes but she made it to the southern valley. The moon had not risen yet but Daphne already felt its pull. It would no longer be a full moon, but it was close enough.

Walking as quietly as possible, Daphne made her way to the pool of water that lay at the bottom of the valley. She stopped regularly to sniff the air and listen. She heard nothing and smelt nothing unusual but that didn’t mean that she was alone.

She made her way to a small rock shelf that over looked the water body below. She got down on all fours as she moved onto the rock shelf. The boulders were large and threw many shadows which she tried to hide within. Daphne lay down on her stomach to wait for Anita.

Forty minutes passed and Daphne watched as the moon started to rise. She held back the need to change as she wanted to speak to Anita if she appeared. Another fifteen minutes passed and Daphne saw a pale coloured wolf appear at the water’s edge.

Daphne sniffed the air but the wolf’s scent escaped her, the wolf was too far away. Daphne watched as the wolf sat and looked at its reflection in the water.

Daphne gritted her teeth as she felt the need to transform intensify. She shuffled back into the rocks and stripped off before changing into her full wolf form.

As she moved out of the rocks she saw that the wolf below had gone. Daphne stepped out and a blade swung at her head. She ducked and then pushed off the rocks to drop to the ground below. She turned to see Nathaniel and so she shifted back to her human form, not particularly worried about being nude. “It’s me you fool.”

“Oh,” Nathaniel said. “I didn’t catch your scent.”

Daphne noticed that he looked at her from head to toe before averting his eyes. Daphne shifted back into her wolf form and made her way back up the rocks. She looked below but the other wolf was definitely gone. Daphne pulled her clothes out of the alcove in the rocks and shifted back to human form and got dressed. Once that was done she climbed up to Nathaniel’s vantage point. “Did you see the other wolf?” she asked.

"Yeah I did. The pale colored one. It was down by the water. Your nose is better than mine, can you sniff her out?" Fort asked her

He thought about what happened several moments before. She had changed into her human form and stood naked in front of him, without shame. "I wouldnt have any shame either if I had that body..." He thought. He shook his head of the thoughts "Damn you Luna Eclipse!" He thought.

After his rest he suited up again and went back into the forest before heading to the nightclub. He was checking to see if he could find one of the odd dead bodies for himself so he could test it and send results and scans to the Knights.

“I’ll head down to the water, I might be able to track her.” Daphne told. She knew that her cover was blown. Whoever it was would have heard the exchange of words between her and Nathaniel. She walked quietly down to the water and sniffed. It was certainly Anita that had been here.

Daphne noticed that Nathaniel’s head also tilted as he scented the air.

“It’s Anita,” Daphne said to confirm. She raised a hand to Nathaniel’s chest to halt him. “Now do you plan to hunt her or talk to her?”

“At this stage talk. But that could change in a heartbeat.” Nathaniel told.

Daphne gave a nod, she expected as much. “Keep it talk for now.” She turned her back on him again as she picked up the scent trail. She walked up the ridge of the valley and looked beyond. A screamed echoed through the forest.

Daphne ditched her clothes once more and returned to wolf form. She ran in the direction of the scream. It sounded again, this time more garbled. As Daphne drew near she slowed and used all of her senses to work out what was going on.

There was some sort of light for a moment and then if faded. Daphne padded cautiously into the thicket and saw another dried corpse this time it was a vampire or at least had been. Daphne turned as she saw Nathaniel emerge from the brush and she noticed that he was carrying her clothes. He looked around cautiously, “What did this?” he asked.

Daphne transformed back into human form and felt a bit giddy in doing it so frequently. “I don’t know. We’ve been trying to figure that out.”

Nathaniel handed her clothing to her, this time he tried to look away. Daphne didn’t care, since she was a full-blooded werewolf she’d been shifting from human to wolf since she was a child. Nudity wasn’t an issue for her. It just tended to cause problems in certain situations. She dressed and moved to look at the corpse. “It’s the same as the others, looks mummified, red eyes…”

“They all look like this?” Nathaniel questioned.

“All the ones we’ve found. Hasn’t mattered if they were wolf or vamp. They all seem as though they’ve reverted back to almost being human.” Daphne said as she circled the body looking for any clues. She saw a bracelet around the left wrist of the corpse, she lifted it, “Ah it’s Tiffany,” Daphne smirked, “Couldn’t have happened to a nicer vampire.”

“You know her?” Nathaniel asked coolly.

Daphne removed her jacket and pulled her shirt sleeve up and showed him the two long scars that ran the length of her arm, “That’s her work. She did it when I was the human equivalent of five. She wanted to taste werewolf, she gouged me with both fangs. My father almost ripped her head off in return.”

“Let me guess, the more he eats the more powerful he becomes,” Daphne said as she took a further look at Tiffany.

“Bingo,” Nathaniel said in response.

Daphne thought about the whole demon aspect. It certainly made sense, “We’ve never found injuries on the dead so I’m assuming his techniques are rather… unique.”

Nathaniel grunted then lifted his sword. Daphne immediately backed off and wondered what had brought on this sudden change in attitude. “Move,” Nathaniel instructed.

Daphne dodged to the right then turned to look. Clara stood in wolf form behind her. Nathaniel charged the other she-wolf. “No!” Daphne shouted and tackled him. “Run Clara!” she yelled.

Nathaniel squirmed beneath her, “Get off me!”

“No, she’s part of my pack.” Daphne growled.

Fort's slayer instincts kicked in when he saw the other wolf, and naturally he tried to slay her. He was still getting used to the shaky truce between him and the lycans.

However, Daphne's attack angered him, and brought out something he had withheld for years.

Fort released a defeaning, deep growl and his canines grew large. He reached back, grabbed Daphne's arm and through her off of him. She skidded to a halt several feet away.

He had been in the heat of the moment when he saw the wolf so close to him with his guard down. Daphne's restraint had set him off momentarily.

She looked at Fort and her eyes grew wide in surprise. Fort covered his mouth as he forced the lycancy back to the deepest depths of his soul. Clara turned back after she saw Fort fling Daphne off of her and went to attack Fort.

"Stop stop stop! Just wait a moment Clara!" Daphne called out to Clara as she ran and stood in the way of the two.

Fort's canine's returned to normal and his heavy breathing slowly stopped.

"Don't...do that...again." Fort said between pants.

Audrey couldn't help herself, she had bitten into the punk's neck before John could drag her away. She looked up to see a guy who looked like a rock star heading their way. "Vampire," Audrey mouthed as John dragged her outside.

"We've got to get out of here, now!" John shouted as she pulled her along by her arm.

(Nett, is Audrey a part of D's coven, yet?)

Ashryn stopped short of the doorway and thought to himself, <Run all you want little ones...I have your scent now.> He walked over to the human and ushered him to a lounge in a darker part of the club.

"Are you okay?" he asked the human.

"I dunno..." the young man seemed dazed as he reached for his neck."Dude, I think the (expletive deleted) bit me."

Ashryn looked at the wound. It was minor, but he couldn't be sure if it would be enough to turn him. "I have an associate in a nearby hospital who could tend to that," Ashryn assures him. His contact was actually one of an exclusive group of familiars Ashryn used to monitor "unexplained deaths" in Murk Valley, in the event cases such as this one turned up. "He'll take care of you, he owes me a favor. I'll call you a cab." Ashryn walks to the exit and lets security know to tell management, another familiar in his network, that he's leaving. Then he pulls out his cell phone and dials D's secure line.

"D, we got a situation..."

Nick sighed; the Dragon had flown to a higher branch.  If he thought that would keep Nick away, so be it.  The werewolf leaped higher, coming to rest on the same branch as the creature, stared at him, and then dropped to the grounds below.  Turning to the soldier, he said, "It's a dragon.  That's all I can say; it's a dragon."  His voice was low, raspy, and throaty, being in his half-wolf form. 

He then turned, and bolted into the woods, deciding that the soldier could not help him any further.  When he returned to his small den that he kept, he changed back to human form, and clothed hismelf in a black T-shirt and black jeans.  Putting his hands in his pockets, he strolled out into the woods, making his way slowly to town.  It was about time for lunch, and raw meat really didn't stay satisfying for over a month straight.
