Out of the Fire
January 30th, 2017
(Kazuki Ryuga, Daemien, Martyr, Millie)
(From live play. Profiles: Kaz, Mar (obviously), Millie)
Kaz was wandering, as he often did. Having a "male" day, he was dressed simply in a pair of jeans and t-shirt, a sweatshirt with sleeves pushed up to his elbows that hung loose over his smaller frame. His lips were awkwardly pulled over his teeth as he whistled some stray tune that had gotten stuck in his head. His hands were tucked into the front pockets of his sweatshirt, giving the appearance of a casual stroll.
At least until the hint of blood followed the breeze and hit him head on. Chestnut irises bled red around the edges, tickled his nose and caused him to salivate. "Hn," he hummed, scanning those ever brightening eyes along the path until his legs carried him toward the scent he picked up on. For whatever reason the scent of this blood smelled sweeter, more decadent than most he'd smelled before. It was almost intoxicating as he followed the trail.
It wasn't until he spied a collapsed form in the distance that he narrowed his eyes to the sight, approaching a bit slower but at a steady pace. His jaw tensed as he came up to the body, bracing himself against the heady aroma of coppery crimson liquid that was pooling on the ground. He took a shaky inhale when he spied that it was a woman, a frown curling the corners of his mouth downward as he rolled his eyes shut and just... stopped breathing. The pull of the blood was strong, as many his age and even older had trouble controlling themselves over so much spilled blood. But his morality held himself back from going feral on her.
It was until he got a good look at parts other than her backside that he caught a jawline, a cheekbone, the curls of her hair and.. "Speck!" He yelped, no longer thinking about the pull of the blood pooled around the woman as he rushed to her side and dropped down to one knee. The blood saturated the leg of his jeans, but he didn't seem to care in that moment. His hand scooped under her head, tilting her face so he could look at her and hopefully for her to look at him. But what he saw wasn't the bright orange-yellow irises of Speck. This woman's hair was too short, too. It confused him, clear on his expression as he shook his head. "You're.. not Speck. But you look.. uncanny sim.. are you twins?" The response from the woman being nothing more than a sputtering of blood that bubbled and spilled over the corners of her mouth.
His eyes dragged down her body, reaching with the hand that wasn't cradling her head to shift her arm away from the wound. The sight of the horrific impalement would made him hiss and shake his head. "That's.." Fatal. Slow and painful... a death sentence. "Nevermind," he muttered, irises that were pooling over with the warmer chestnut of his natural eyes now that the urge to turn the woman into a snack had disappeared with the face that looked too much like Speck. What do I do? Shaking his head, he muttered an apology to the woman. "I'm sorry, but we need to get you some help. And.. this is going to hurt," he warned her, scooting closer to her as he scooped his arms beneath her. Under her legs, under her shoulders. And almost effortlessly, if not awkwardly considering the difference in height, he scooped her up with a grunt. "This would be a useful time to be taller," he grumbled, about to walk away with her until...
Daemien. His nostrils flared as he snapped his head to stare at the woman who looked on the edge of unconsciousness from blood loss. He tilted his head downward, nostrils flaring as he took another sniff. She reeked of Daemien. At first, he considered she was one of his victims, ready to put her down and apologize for not being able to get involved with his King's affairs. But.. no. This was no victim -not in that way- of the Blood King. She was coated in his scent like the women Daemien had... affairs.. with. Looking her over, he took a steadying breath. "You belong to Daemien, don't you?" The response of nothing more than a bubble of blood pooling at her lips had him snickering. "Right, safe to assume here.." Shaking his head, he adjusted her in his arms and tracked his master's scent to the tattered and beaten rundown house that belonged to the ancient Blood King.
Reaching the doorway, he had no free hands to knock, leaving him to wobble awkwardly on one foot to kick open -yes kick open- the front door. "Daemien!" He called out into the home.
The Blood King in question could smell the excessive amount of blood as it approached the door, raising a brow from where he was settled on the couch as his eyes snapped to the doorway. Eva was out hunting, Diana was rarely home. It was somewhat quiet, though the fact that it was quiet had him on edge. His nostrils flared, lifting himself from the couch as he used his senses through the almost overwhelming scent of blood to feel the familiar pull of one of his.Rounding the break between the living room and hallway just in time for the door to get kicked open, he growled. "Do you have to make a fucking grand entrance every..." Only to trail off at the sight of the woman Kaz was carrying. "...Martyr?"
Millie was home! Oh and she'd grown out of that feral stage...for the most part. She still liked to chew on him most of the time. She had been trying on Martyr's clothes while the reaper was away, mostly waiting for her to be gone, because the reaper had a bad habit of taking it as an invitation for dress up and braiding her hair. She... Well, she let her do it every time, but didn't like it. Millie didn't have a bunch of clothes to her name anymore since Daemien sort of...stole her. "Why do none of these fit around my ass?" she asked, looking at the wrinkle in the jeans were her ass was supposed to be. Not that she didn't have one, she just didn't have one of those Slane booties. She was reaching for a dress when the door splintered open and she stiffened up. Someone called out for Daemien after a rough entrance and she immediately went on the defensive, thinking it was an attack. It didn't help that she could smell all that blood. Millie snarled lightly and went flying out of the room after the noise, fangs bared as she growled. She....well she wasn't expecting a tiny Asian man! If she could have possibly gotten more pale, she would have at the sight of her friend. "Mar..." she whispered softly. Then those red eyes drifted to Kaz like, what did you do?!
The reaper...or...well, human, now.. Weird. Okay, the human was clinging to life and whether it was for someone else or for her own refusal to die was a mystery. Kaz was...comfortable. She'd rested her head against his chest the entire trip back, except when he asked her questions. In which case she'd attempt to nod if she knew the answer to them. In Speck's case, she hadn't a clue that there was anyone else who wore her face. She couldn't really answer that. When he kicked in the door, she let out a bubbling, bloody little grunt in response. There was a little sigh of relief when they actually made it to Daemien. It was a hell of a lot better than dying in the streets.
Having heard Millie's question in the other room, he sighed. "Because you don't have a giant ass like she does, Mill." Giving the doorway that duh sort of expression. But all that humor was lost in him seeing the woman bleeding out in his underlings arms. Dae's feline shaped eyes narrowed at the once-Reaper, the slope of his brows dropping drastically in confusion. The initial signature scent of her blood was there but it was... different. It had the similar scent to that of... "What the hell is going on?" He barked, irritation hinted in his tone as he strode over to where Kaz was holding her. Though Millie had eyed the Asian with that accusatory look, Daemien didn't. He knew each of his underlings like the back of his hand, having been in their head during the change, and he knew Kaz would never prey on a woman. Shirtless as always, he bent some to reach the Asian's shorter height, replacing his arms where Kaz's was as he lifted Mar effortlessly -and more proportionately- in his own. "Explain," he growled to his underling, nodding his head in the direction of the living room, brushing past Millie as he glanced down to Mar with that look of confusion on his face. "..You should've healed by now.." He muttered, as if the situation was going over his head. Which... it was. He had no damn clue what was going on as he brought the woman to the couch and laid her out on the cushions.
The snarling from Millie and accusatory look was met with a look of shame and a lowering of eyes. Regardless of the fact that Martyr's condition wasn't at his fault, it didn't make him any less upset. He didn't know this woman, at all. But there was something unsettling to him about how much she looked like Speck. Made him sick, made him kinda wanna cry. "I don't... I don't know what happened..." He admitted, compliant as Daemien took the woman from him, wiping his bloody hands on an already blood smeared sweatshirt. He couldn't help but keep glancing over to Millie with that puppy-that-peed-on-the-floor look. Only to wince softly at the bark coming from his master, a nod of his head as he followed after him. "I... I don't know," he repeated, taking a sorrowful breath. "I was walking around, I found her on the ground. She looks.." Shaking his head, he decided now wasn't the time to bring up the woman's look-a-like. "I could smell her on you like a cologne," he snickered. "I figured she was yours, so.. I brought her here.." He worried his bottom lip with his teeth, having followed Daemien and the blood-soaked woman. "... The wound looks fatal. Daemien.." He muttered in a hushed whisper that resembled a hiss, glancing to Mar with a frown.
Millie softened a bit at the look Kaz had given her. He was just so tiny and feminine, it was hard to hate him for being a man when he... Well let's face it, even on his manliest day, he wasn't...overly masculine. She crinkled her nose lightly as the blood smell began to get to her. She began to pace lightly, back and forth with anxiety both for the fact that her friend was dying, and....the fact that she might have wanted to finish her off. She was a baby, okay?! She didn't have the experience the other two did. A hand came up beneath her nose and she stifled a whimper, before growling loudly at Kaz's words. "It's not fatal... it can't be fatal," still cupping her nose, which made her voice a muffled growl. "Fix it!" As if Kaz was supposed to be some magical freaking doctor. Her eyes were red as can be at this point, still pacing like she was going to lose her shit at any moment.
When Daemien took her, she seemed more relaxed than she should be for having a hole through her chest. Then he put her down, and she followed him with her eyes, which were getting heavier and heavier as time went on. She shook her head no, in a slow weak way when he mentioned her healing. Stating the damned obvious. I'm not healing... Frickin' obviously! She focused on getting what air she could into her lungs for the time being. Keeping a brave face, and not whimpering or crying. She died on a daily damn basis. It just never lasted this long.
He'd crouched next to the couch, leaning against the edge some as he swatted a few dreads out of his face to get a closer look. He lifted her shirt, exposing the wound more as he hissed under his breath and nodded to Kaz's words. "So, you don't know who did this." Stated not as a question, but as if it was fact.
"No," he muttered apologetically, shaking his head until his gaze cut to Millie. His head tilted slowly, eyeing her and her actions. "...She's fresh, isn't she?" A glance then to Daemien.
"Yes," turning his eyes on Millie then, the muscles beneath that tan flesh tensing as he watched her pacing. The bright crimson of her eyes, listened to the growling. "..Take her out of here, Kaz." His tone was out of patience, an order barked.
There was a sigh that released when the confirmation of how new Millie was hit him with realization and he cast a glance to Mar and all the blood. He remembered what it felt like to be brand spankin' new. How that much blood would've driven him insane with bloodlust and.. the possibility that Dae might not have been quick enough to catch him.. Shaking his head to wash that thought from his mind, he stiffened to the order barked and looked over to Millie. "What are you going to do with her, Dae?" His eyes glancing to his master, though his feet was disobeying his want to stand right there.
"That's my concern, not yours." He growled under his breath, turning his own crimson eyes toward Kaz, his expression taught and stern as he nodded in a twitch of movement to Millie. "Take her. Out of here. Now."
If he'd had a heart, it would be pounding. There was concern there, knowing what Daemien was like. He didn't believe the man was a monster, but he didn't really believe he was good either. And part of him didn't want to leave Speck's look-alike alone with him. Gnawing on his bottom lip, he let out a shaky breath at those final orders barked as his feet started shuffling almost defeatedly toward Millie. Dragging his gaze to her, he held out his arms as if to block her off from the room. "..When the boss says go.." His tone apologetic as he gave her that please don't make this more difficult, girl look.
Of course Millie didn't want to leave the room. It wasn't out of distrust for what Daemien might do, but out of concern for her friend and wanting to see it through....and quite possibly wanting to just have a little lick. One little lick couldn't hurt, right? ...Right?! She was smart, though. It was one of the things that made Dae a bit soft on her, the fact that she could see the logic in most things, that...didn't have to do with men. Fucking men... She knew better than to think her being there would do any good for Martyr. It was dangerous and stupid. That didn't stop her from visibly deflating, though. Until Kaz held out his arms, and she growled and snapped lightly. "Don't touch me! I'm going!" like a drunk, trouble making woman with a cop. She turned away and headed back toward Dae's bedroom. Possibly because she wanted to smell Martyr on the sheets.
Wasn't it kind of Martyr's concern, though? The big boss voice didn't frighten her, but then again, nothing Daemien did really managed that anymore. She looked up at him as the room cleared out, and her expression said it all. I'm sorry. She was. She was sorry for letting someone get the best of her. Sorry for bleeding on his underling and couch. Sorry for being useless now. It wasn't just the blood and healing. She was weak, human, and no good to him anymore.
He didn't know the girl, but he was respectful women. The moment she said don't touch me, he lifted those bloodied hands in surrender. "Okay, I won't touch you," he promised, his voice soft. There was a glimmer of understanding there, the way she was concerned for Mar.. the way she might've kinda wanted to lick it. Even he did, or.. would've.. were it not for the girl's damn face. Tucking his hands into his jeans pockets in a show of I'm not touching! he followed after Millie with a fleeting glance back to Daemien and the girl on the couch. Sighing softly, he rolled his eyes closed before brushing through the doorway to Dae's room and closing it when Millie had gone in.
That stern look stayed on the two underlings, swallowing down the inhuman growl that was threatening to ripple from the pit of his stomach. When Millie gave her compliance, he dragged that crimson gaze back to Martyr to see that apologetic look. When they were as alone as they were going to get, a fleeting glance to the door of his room before it flicked back to her. "You're going to die." His expression was blank, his tone hardly hinting at any emotion at all. "You're not a Reaper anymore.. I can smell the human on you. In your blood. On your skin." His voice was soft, like lulling her to her death. Haunting, even. His blinking was slow as the tension moved under the skin of his jaw. "We don't have much time," he told her, glancing to the gaping wound in her torso. "And you're rendered practically useless to me at this point." He was silent for a moment, as if that was going to be the end of it.
"Unless.." His feline-like gaze locked onto her eyes, unblinking and almost luminescent in it's redness. "... I change you." Those three words were spoken almost like a question. ...Do you want this?
Millie curled up on the bed, hugging the pillow like it was a damned stuffed animal. She stared at him as he came in, did he really not trust her to stay put and not run in there? ...Okay, good call. She was still a baby when it came to vampirism, after all. Still, she didn't look all too happy that he was in there, and seemed to turn her head up in a way of shunning him. She wouldn't, couldn't turn her back on him, though. Damn men... She wanted to spam Daemien's head with questions but refrained.
When he spoke of her situation, she nodded slowly and weakly. Her ears were ringing, and she knew she was on death's doorstep at this point, and this time when she went in, she'd stay there. She didn't seem offended by the fact that he spoke of her uselessness. She knew, and could feel it. Her eyes stuck to him, blinks seemed to linger, and it was a mystery on how they opened back up at all, but they did. Her eyes were no longer violet, they were a weird shade of green. Even those eyes looked human. When he gave her that option, she stared at him for a moment. "D-d..." The stuttering lyrics were distorted and wet when they fell out of her mouth. She nodded her head. "D-do...it..."
His expression remained blank, emotionless and seemingly ready for her decision either way. There was no hint of why he gave the option written on his expression or the tone of his voice. He simply... waited.
Those stuttering syllables were given, the feeble nod of her head. His own words were cut short. "So be it." Kaz, keep Millie in the room. After a steadying breath of self control, he made his move.
No, Kaz didn't trust her not to run. It was nothing personal, perhaps biased from his own opinion or experience. Still, it wasn't a risk he was willing to take. Millie made herself comfortable on the bed, and he remained by the door, leaning against the far wall as if to keep his distance from the distrusting Fledgling to give her space. "I'm sorry about.." He started, his tone hinting with true remorse and sympathy for her situation. Before he could finish saying your friend, Daemien's telepathic instruction had him letting out a ragged breath. Hai, Daemien. This time, there was no return of hi from his master like there would've been from a certain blind girl to lighten the mood. All he did was turn his frame to lean against the door, barring the way to Martyr.

Until Kaz held out his arms, and she growled and snapped lightly. "Don't touch me! I'm going!" like a drunk, trouble making woman with a cop. She turned away and headed back toward Dae's bedroom. Possibly because she wanted to smell Martyr on the sheets.
Wasn't it kind of Martyr's concern, though? The big boss voice didn't frighten her, but then again, nothing Daemien did really managed that anymore. She looked up at him as the room cleared out, and her expression said it all. I'm sorry. She was. She was sorry for letting someone get the best of her. Sorry for bleeding on his underling and couch. Sorry for being useless now. It wasn't just the blood and healing. She was weak, human, and no good to him anymore.
He didn't know the girl, but he was respectful women. The moment she said don't touch me, he lifted those bloodied hands in surrender. "Okay, I won't touch you," he promised, his voice soft. There was a glimmer of understanding there, the way she was concerned for Mar.. the way she might've kinda wanted to lick it. Even he did, or.. would've.. were it not for the girl's damn face. Tucking his hands into his jeans pockets in a show of I'm not touching! he followed after Millie with a fleeting glance back to Daemien and the girl on the couch. Sighing softly, he rolled his eyes closed before brushing through the doorway to Dae's room and closing it when Millie had gone in.
That stern look stayed on the two underlings, swallowing down the inhuman growl that was threatening to ripple from the pit of his stomach. When Millie gave her compliance, he dragged that crimson gaze back to Martyr to see that apologetic look. When they were as alone as they were going to get, a fleeting glance to the door of his room before it flicked back to her. "You're going to die." His expression was blank, his tone hardly hinting at any emotion at all. "You're not a Reaper anymore.. I can smell the human on you. In your blood. On your skin." His voice was soft, like lulling her to her death. Haunting, even. His blinking was slow as the tension moved under the skin of his jaw. "We don't have much time," he told her, glancing to the gaping wound in her torso. "And you're rendered practically useless to me at this point." He was silent for a moment, as if that was going to be the end of it.
"Unless.." His feline-like gaze locked onto her eyes, unblinking and almost luminescent in it's redness. "... I change you." Those three words were spoken almost like a question. ...Do you want this?
Millie curled up on the bed, hugging the pillow like it was a damned stuffed animal. She stared at him as he came in, did he really not trust her to stay put and not run in there? ...Okay, good call. She was still a baby when it came to vampirism, after all. Still, she didn't look all too happy that he was in there, and seemed to turn her head up in a way of shunning him. She wouldn't, couldn't turn her back on him, though. Damn men... She wanted to spam Daemien's head with questions but refrained.
When he spoke of her situation, she nodded slowly and weakly. Her ears were ringing, and she knew she was on death's doorstep at this point, and this time when she went in, she'd stay there. She didn't seem offended by the fact that he spoke of her uselessness. She knew, and could feel it. Her eyes stuck to him, blinks seemed to linger, and it was a mystery on how they opened back up at all, but they did. Her eyes were no longer violet, they were a weird shade of green. Even those eyes looked human. When he gave her that option, she stared at him for a moment. "D-d..." The stuttering lyrics were distorted and wet when they fell out of her mouth. She nodded her head. "D-do...it..."
His expression remained blank, emotionless and seemingly ready for her decision either way. There was no hint of why he gave the option written on his expression or the tone of his voice. He simply... waited.
Those stuttering syllables were given, the feeble nod of her head. His own words were cut short. "So be it." Kaz, keep Millie in the room. After a steadying breath of self control, he made his move.
No, Kaz didn't trust her not to run. It was nothing personal, perhaps biased from his own opinion or experience. Still, it wasn't a risk he was willing to take. Millie made herself comfortable on the bed, and he remained by the door, leaning against the far wall as if to keep his distance from the distrusting Fledgling to give her space. "I'm sorry about.." He started, his tone hinting with true remorse and sympathy for her situation. Before he could finish saying your friend, Daemien's telepathic instruction had him letting out a ragged breath. Hai, Daemien. This time, there was no return of hi from his master like there would've been from a certain blind girl to lighten the mood. All he did was turn his frame to lean against the door, barring the way to Martyr.
