Vampire RP 2: Redemption

Vrix appeared on the balcony, almost out of a black cloud. He walked forwards towards the entrance, his footsteps disturbing the snow that had settled there.

This was the tower of the prince of the undead.

It struck awe into many, so few ventured very high up into it. He was sure his presence had already alerted what ever security existed, and silent alarms were probably going off. This he all knew because he himself created the security forces. Not that they'd remember, things had changed- gotten stale perhaps.

Vrix reached for the door handle.

Kiki felt the presence of another. She felt someone new nearing the doors. No alarms went off. All was quiet and normal. The human soldiers slept soundly, the vampire soldiers went about their business. Nurses and civilians walked the halls. Thing had changed for the better.

Things had indeed gotten stale, Vrix thought as he entered the empty hallway. There were dangerous things still out there, especially against the prince. His booted feet echoed in the hallway, and he closed the door.

The vampire entered the tower. She didnt have time to greet the new comer. The life of a princess wasnt as easy as it seemed. She had paperwork to deal with. She was both judge and jury for those who offend. So, with a heavy sigh, she turned from the window and returned to her desk. Her mind remained in the past as she signed document after document. The hospital needed more supplies. The blood bank was running low on volunteers. The elders on the second floor were fighting with the younglings on the third floor. Things werent as peaceful as she thought after all. There was always something.

Vrix walked towards the previous prince's- for the lack of better words, penthouse suite. His boots echoeing into the towers background. The place hadn't changed much that much.

Guards lined the hall leading to the Private room. They watched him pass. None bothered to stop him until he reached the door. Two guards stood before the door. One guard moved to intercept him. "Im sorry, but the Princess cannot be bothered right now. She said shed gladly meet with anyone first thing tomorrow."

Kiki looked up from her paperwork. She heard her guards voice through the thick wooden doors. He did his job and asked for the newcomer to wait until tomorrow. She nodded and returned to her work.

"The princess will see me, now." He said calmly, his hand reaching under his long-coat. He began a countdown in his mind.

"Im sorry, but she has retired for the evening. Shes got work to do and she does not wish to be disturbed. I will ask once more that you would please leave." He nodded towards the elevator.

Vrix shrugged, and took a deep breath as he turned away. Suddenly, there was a gargling noise from behind him, and the soldier speaking to him crumpled to the floor in two finely cut pieces; a dark red liquid spraying from his veins, spattering his coat and the walls and floor.

There was a flash- more like reflection of silver, as Vrix deftly wielded his short katana. He stopped his turn facing away from the door, and his arm carried onwards; letting the silver coated cutting edge, slice through the neck of the other guard as he began to react.

"Careless." Vrix said calmly and quietly, then remained motionless for a moment, letting the rest of the soldiers in the hallway get a good look at their two friends.

Just as the second guards body hit the floor, head bouncing in the opposite direction, and the blood spattering across the floor and wall, the lights where he stood began to flicker.

The other soldiers watched the men fall. They turned and opened fire upon Vrix. There were 12 men, 6 on each side of the hall. Each had silver bullets in their clips. Several screamed as anger and sorrow filled their hearts. They were fighting to protect their Princess, and avenge the fallen men.

Kiki looked up from her work. She smelled blood, followed by the sound of bodies hitting the floor. Her guards screamed and opened fire. What the hell was going on?! She stood and moved to barricade herself in a different room. It was a small sitting room. Inside was a fire place and a bar. She locked herself inside and moved to the farthest corner. Her men would come and let her know all was well once they dealt with the intruder.

The lights died just as the first shot was fired, Vrix transcended into nothing, as two silver fragmentation grenades rolled down the hallway, from where Vrix had been.

Vrix appeared in the room, facing the door, blade dripping from the blood of the men it had severed life from. His eye's fixed at a point beyond the door.

***

The grenades exploded within milliseconds of each other, sending burning silver shrapnel ricocheting up the hallway, along with the bloody paste of what had once been a man shooting a door.

Men cried out as the shrapnel ripped through them. Some didnt die right away. Their death was slow and painful as the silver ate away at their flesh. They screamed and clawed at the wounds, desperate to remove the burning metal shards. They failed. Each man died. An alarm wailed on a floor below.

In her quarters, Kiki listened to her men fall. She stood ready, facing the locked door.

Vrix slowly lowered the blade, and blinked as he glanced around the room he had appeared in. This was quite clearly a bedroom. He turned around and could only see two doorways one closed, and other quite clearly a bathroom.

Vrix approached the locked door, and with a tiny amount of hesitation he knocked twice.

Kiki held her breath as he neared. She heard his foot steps. The smell of blood grew stronger as he neared. Then he.. He.. Knocked? What kind of assassin was this? He knocked... So was he asking permission to come in and kill her? She ran for the gun hidden behind the bar. If he was just going to stand there then she was gonna shoot the bastard through the door.

He heard her footsteps, and paused for a moment. He could smell her blood. It called to him. "Kiki." He said quietly more to himself. He knocked again, and listened carefully. "Your highness?" He asked aloud.

(care if an old bastard re-joins the fray?)

I say go ahead, we need someone to mix it up a little... the princess needs a new threat. But best wait for DB's go ahead, it's her game, and I am but merely a player. Nice to see you Benji.))

fine by me.)

"One moment. I thought I told Oliver that I was not to be disturbed. Silly me I must have imagined it." She checked the clip in her gun. It only had six bullets. She didnt have anymore in here. She uttered a curse as she walked towards the door. She fired two shots at the wood before kicking it open and coming out with her gun raised. Four shots left. She had to make them count.

found a new look for Benjii and thanks))

Yawning, Benjii shakes his matted, black hair out of his face and looks around. "seems no one heard that dumbass human screaming...maybe decapitating the head below the bite marks will make it seem less suspicious." he shrugs, picking the body up and draping it over his shoulder. licking his lips, he walks down the dark alleyways, humming to himself as he watches his surroundings.

Vrix listened intently, and calmly stepped to the side of the door frame as he heard her approach, just as moments later bullets tore holes in the door and it was kicked open.

Without a sound, he backed a little into the shadows, then spun kicked the door back towards the initial kicker. Then reappeared on the opposite side of the door, and quickly followed the door distraction with his blade, deftly slicing through the air towards the princess
