Vampire RP 2: Redemption

"Go ahead!" He growled, his eyes sharpened, and a split second later a loud bang filled the room.

Vrix stared in silence as the shot rang out. He almost smiled as he saw the revolving silver-hollow point bullet zipping through the air at him in slow motion. His smile instantly disappeared as quickly it had begun, and he began to draw the veil around him to escape the bullet- too late.

The bullet- it's trajectory slightly off it's original target, plunged through Vrix's shoulder above his heart. The tip shattered scattering silver fragments through his body tearing artery's and nerves, burning his flesh. The bullet itself tore a hole out the back of his shoulder and cracked the bone there.

Vrix was spun slightly to his left as the bullet hit him, his eyes locked on Kiki. He could already feel his flesh around his left shoulder begin to burn. He staggered backwards from the impact and said nothing not a word.

"He killed our men!" The man snarled angrily.

Kiki's eyes widened. Her hand fell from the soliders wrist. She rushed to Vrix's side. Her feet felt heavy. She couldnt move fast enough. The bullet tore through Vrix before she could reach him. She was halfway across the room when he fell to the floor. "Benji..." She carefully took Vrix into her arms. "I would be in your debt if you would please take care of the Captain... He is no longer needed here.." She spoke softly as she examined Vrix's shoulder. "Hang on Vrix.. We'll get you help."

Steph still held Cole to her chest. She didnt know if she should fear Infernus or the Captain. Bother were unstable. They were both mad! And they were able to harm her daughter. All this happened because Benjii came back.. She didnt know what to think. She didnt know who to trust right now. She never returned Benjii's smile. She simply held her daughter.

Benjii looked from Steph to Kiki then to the Captain. he stared at the Captain with a cold glare, twitching his hand slightly.

Infernus saw the movement and lunged at the Captain, making sure to knock the gun from his hand. with a satisfied smile, Infernus grabbed the man's face with hand, tilting his head up and holding his mouth shut. Infernus closed his eyes as he leaned down and bit into the Captain's neck, pulling away flesh and muscle, growling as blood ran into his mouth, splattered over his face. as he chuckled, Infernus raised a hand up to his side and shoved his claws into the Captain's stomach.

Benjii looked away from the scene and walked over to Steph and Cole, wrapping an arm around his wife and laying his other hand on his daughter's back.

Isn't it really up too me to let him be inept enough to get killed? So now I cause more problems...))

The captain, using his last vestiges of life as blackness clawed at his vision, managed to activate the timed grenade on his jacket before succumbing to nothingness, the last thing he saw was a screams bearing down on him.

Rek winced as his flesh visibly crawled. He looked up at Kat as an ominous beeping filled the air. He gritted his teeth past the pain as the infected started getting close. "Go!" There was a scream from behind them.

In an alternate reality, somewhere in America...

The captain, using his last vestiges of life as blackness clawed at his vision, managed to activate the timed grenade on his jacket before succumbing to nothingness, the last thing he saw was Infernus as blood dripped from his mouth.

Vrix winced at the pain, as his shoulder burned, the flesh slowly being eaten away. He had felt this feeling before, many times. His eye's darted to Kiki as she rushed towards him. He felt the world revolve around him, as he fell backwards but never remembered hitting the floor.

An ominous beeping filled the room.

Kiki stroked Vrix's cheek, talking in a gentle tone. "Vrix.. Vrix please open your eyes. Say something! Please! Let me know your ok!.. Dont leave me a-" She stopped. What was that sound. It.. It sounded like.. Kiki spun and stared at the fallen body of her Captain. "Tick?.. OH GOD TICK! Benjii! Benjii get Steph and Cole out! Infernus run!" She drug Vrix out into the hall as she barked her orders to Infernus and Benjii. She'd drag him as far as she could before the bomb blew.

Benjii picked Cole and Steph up, carrying them both out of the apartment and down the hall. he put them down and ran back to the apartment, looking for something...

Infernus took one final bite before leaving the ticking, dying Captain. he ignored Benjii as he ran past him, his hunger and rage in control. he glanced at Kiki before running down the hall on all fours, laughing hysterically.

Vrix partially opened his eyes in a squint as he was being dragged, he could hear Kiki's voice, her urgent tones. But couldn't tell what she was saying.

The beeping had quickened somewhat by this point.

As Infernus left the room and Benji entered the explosive beeped it's last beep.

Benjii found what he was looking for as he heard the last beep. He stood still, turned and face where the explosive was. "so this is it. Shame i wasn't the one to kill the Captain..."

As Benji literally entered the door way never mind the room, the explosive went off.

The Captain's body was turned into an bloody expanding cloud of flesh, fabric and bone as the grenade exploded, sending a ripple shockwave outwards along with a loud bang that shattered all the windows.

This was closely followed by the body parts of the dear captain, and the chaff and shrapnel that scattered silver fragments among other things, to bounce around and embed themselves into wood and stone, sparking off of metal surfaces and the ceiling.

OR

The grenade beeped it's final beep- and nothing happened. The grenade had been damaged slightly when Infernus attack him, and the fuse fizzled out.

fine! ****ING FINE!)

Shards tore through Benjii and embedded into the wall behind him. Kiki fell back from the shock wave. The force of the wave knocking the air from her lungs. She held her chest as she struggled for breath. Somewhere in the building Steph and Cole let out a scream. The tower shook and rocked. Glass shattered. The lights in the hospital wing flickered. Outside car alarms screamed and wailed. Everyone within the tower woke and ran to see what had caused the explosion.

The dust was still settling as guards and paramedics flooded the wing. Vrix was carted off to the infirmary. Several people sifted through the debris in an effort to find Benjii. He too was taken to the emergency ward. Kiki was escorted to her chambers where she began to make plans on how to repair her beautiful tower.. And who would pay for the damage done to Vrix and Benjii. Silver wounds did a lot of damage, and the operations would be long and painful. Time was money.. Money even she didnt have... She sat in silence as Steph and Cole were brought to her room. She ignored the two for the most part. Steph laid her daughter down in Kiki's king sized bed, then came to sit beside Kiki in comfortable silence. Together the two girls thought of what could be done, as well as reflected upon what had been done.

In the hospital wing doctors and surgeons rushed to save the men. The wounds were quickly growing worse. They struggled to keep up. Everyone who was able to help came to assist. The race was on. And each one of them knew what would happen if either of these men died.. Kiki would kill every last one of them.

Benjii struggled to stay awake. The pain increasing to an unbearable state, even too much for him to handle without losing consciousness after a few seconds of waking. In his state of unconsciousness, his voice repeated itself over and over again, "so this is how it will end..."

Infernus stood in front of Kiki's door, changed back into his normal state. He knocked a couple of times, looking down at the bullet holes in his jeans, the area under it healing but slowly. He wasn't sure exactly why he was there but didn't let the thought bother him.

"Up to your usual tricks I see... you get bored so you go and kill the ones you care about more than you'd admit. You know what happened was all your fault." An eerie voice filled Infernus' head as if it had come from all around.

***

Vrix's skin was visibly eating itself, and the body around it, he was still unconscious.

Infernus growled, staring at the floor, "I'm not here to kill anyone I care about and what happened was not my fault! They didn't need to come kill me and put everyone else in harm's way. Now, shut the Hell up!"

"Make me..." The voice laughed into silence once more.

Kiki growled. "Steph, take Cole into the other room and lock the door." Steph did as she was told. Both girls once again huddled behind the locked door. Steph felt a deep sisterly love for Kiki at this point. Kiki always did her best to protect everyone. "You might as well come in Infernus. I doubt that door would keep you out if I asked you to leave." Kiki remained seated behind her desk.

The doctors worked through the night to battle the effects of the silver. (your choice if they live or die guys.)

Jason jumped at the muffled sound of an explosion higher up in the tower, and grimaced as shards of glass fell outside setting off car alarms. He stood from behind the front desk and went to lock the front doors before hopping into the elevator and hitting the only button for Kiki's floor. Nothing. HE sighed and exited the elevator, taking the stairs up.

When he finally arrived he walked down the hall to Kiki's door, confused at the lack of guards and the abundance of blood and bullet holes, as well as a rather large blast mark on the ground.

"Hey Infernus. What in the hell was that explosion? Somebody attacking the tower or somethin?"

Infernus turned and glared, staring at Jason. "i was attacked but two other people were injured instead." He turned back to Kiki's door and entered the room. He lowered his gaze at her, still glaring "...any word?"

Benjii opened his eyes once more, looking around the OR before his eyes shut again as he slipped into a coma.

Kiki looked back to her paperwork. "None as of yet. But Im sure we will know soon enough... Or maybe not. I dont know." She signed her signature on a few documents, then set her paperwork aside. "But, why do you care?" She looked at Jason, then back to Infernus.

Infernus looked at the door to the other room then back at Kiki, feeling his anger start to become replaced with something else. "I...they," he sighed and closed his eyes "just want to know if there is anything I can do to help..." his voice trailed off as he looked at the door once more, remembering what the phantom voice said not long ago.

"You and them will be safe in here. Theres no need to worry." She said softly. She then called for steph to come back out. Steph brought out her daughter and laid her down upon Kiki's bed. She paid no mind to Infernus, but Kiki kept a close eye on him.
