Victor is sitting on the throne of his BlackRose Manor, there are currently three thrones in the main audience chamber. The one in the center is Victor's, there is one to his left reserved for Maliara BlackRose and one to his right reserved for Bayne BlackRose...a; though the coven is small now, it once flourished with activity and numbers... the Manor is huge, and the personal chambers aching to be used once more. Victor's eyes look over the empty chamber as memories of past float before his mind's eye. Victor lets out a small growl of frustration and stands from his throne swiftly, the throne rocking and nearly toppling with the momentum. Victor's hands clasped at the small of his back by their wrists, he casts his eyes to the floor and begins to pace, deep in his thoughts. Watching Victor pace about, Bayne thinks back on recent events, his newly acquired scimitar hanging limply from his hand as he toys with its tip under a fingernail. He doesn't often carry such weapons but something about this one drew his eye in the old merchants shop. Alyssa awoke up with a start. her blue eyes dart around before getting on her feet. her sleep replenished her energy. A room she is in. not hears. she had dressed in a pale gold night grown. Her red hair on her shoulder. She jumps when she saw her reflection. her blue eyes dart to her neck in the refection, she was bitten. she took off from the room, looking for the exited. Victor's ears twitched with the sound of padding footfalls coming from the next room. there was only was entrance and only one exit to that room, and it was behind the throne. Victor's eyes went to Bayne's new blade curiously as an eyebrow arched, seeming as a bloody gash compared to his stark white, flawless face.:: "New toy Bayne?...unlike you." ::He then stopped and crossed his arms below his chest as he waited for Alyssa to appear from around the thrones:: "By the way, i have someone I?d like you to meet...behave. She is still mortal and not for eating" ::His tone was gentle when speaking to his brother, as it always was, he had such love for his brood. But there was also a tinge of possessiveness and firm protectiveness as well::

Bayne laughed and looked over at Victor. ?Indeed, I came across a need for some.. influential.. aid and found this little beauty. As for your new pet that I hear coming this way, I will do as you wish. It has bee n a while since I have fed how ever.." ~he couldn?t hide the look on his face as he tried to remember when he last fed on the lifeblood of some young maiden~ Alyssa listens, staying well behind the thrones, backing up, her blue eyes looks behind and she turns around. looking for another exited. She leans against the wall, trying to calm her fast beating heart.

Victor chuckled a bit and called out to her in a soothing tone, consoling in nature:: "Come pet, there is nothing to fear, no need to scurry like a scared rabbit...come dearest" ::He closed his eyes and took her scent in deeply, his nostrils flaring subtly and his lips parting slightly revealing the tips of his vampiric teeth and the tip of his pink tongue as it slides over them. Bayne eyeing the trembling little thing , Bayne gets up and moves away so as not to frighten her. Finding a suitable windowsill he pulls himself atop of it and resumes playing with his sword.

Alyssa would licks her suddenly dry lips. "I am hungry." she would spoke softly. but she stayed in the hallway.

Victor gave a slow understanding nod as he walked to her slowly and reached for her hand gracefully, with no threatening body language to frighten or provoke her:: "This is to be expected i suppose..." ::He would lead her from the hallway into the main audience chamber where Bayne was perched on a window sill:: "And what are you in the mood for puppet? "Watching the pair, Bayne mused to himself , his mind filled with idle thoughts. He put the scimitar away without making a sound and stayed put, not wanting to anger Victor by scaring his new acquisition.

"anything." she eyes victor and bayne. "I am not a puppet." She step back, dropping her hand.

He eyes her coolly, the warmth from his eyes evaporating just as quickly as it had appeared, his face returning to it's natural, emotionless void of smooth marble. He gracefully accepted her refusal and clutched the wrist of his left hand within the grasp of his left at let both hands rest at his waist. His black eyes seemed to smolder subtly:: "I see Alyssa....perhaps i did not portray your station clearly enough to you last evening...perhaps we need to...refresh your memory this evening as well?"

Smirks as he over hears the exchange between the pair~ "my my my, it seems his new toy isn't willing to

play.. I'm sure he will teach her the errors of her ways soon enough.." ~He muses quietly to himself. He changes his position and sits with his legs hanging down, kicking his heels against the wall as he waits and sees how things unfold.~

She swallows and looks away. "I don't need reminder, Victor" She just stand there with her blue eyes closed, "I don't need ........one." she said quietly.

Victor gave a slow nod and gestured towards the main audience chamber, walking away without waiting to see if she would come. Approaching his throne, he took a seat crossed his legs, one laying horizontally over his knees at the ankle. His eyes flicker to Bayne as he raises an eyebrow for his brothers opinion and waits for her to make an appearance. Bayne meets Victors gaze, raising a brow and grinning wickedly. What he and heard had sounded a bit more inviting than it may have been intended, but finding out would definitely be entertaining. She lifts up her chin and follows Victor. her hands crosses behind her. her blue gaze lower though. Flashing a subtle smirk at Bayne he gestured towards Alyssa for him to take a look, then turned his eyes upon Alyssa herself:: "Good of you to join us dearest, introduce yourself to my brother, then take a seat....Bayne?" ::His voice was smooth and full of a fatherly-type emotion, his eyes flickered from her to Bayne as if waiting to see how Bayne would conduct himself with his newest pet. He wondered how Bayne would feel if he knew how special this pet really was, and why she was so important...would he understand? He struggled with the issue in his head while he observed Bayne's actions::

He wondered how Bayne would feel if he knew how special this pet really was, and why she was so important...would he understand? He struggled with the issue in his head while he observed Bayne's actions

Jumping down and walking narcoses to her, Bayne lets his gaze drift lazily over her form, noting each supple curve and noting the minutest detail. Looking up he smiles and gives her a friendly wink. "Pleasure to meet you miss." He stops before her and stays still, feeling someone different about this one but not really sure what. His eyes flicker to Victor and his right hand twitches a little, his fingers weaving strange signs in the air~

"Alyssa." she would take a step back, a magic shield would step up, shielding her amities to his brother and she would move around his brother and sit at Victor's feet.

Victor's eyes casually read the hand signals and gives a subtly nod in reply to his brother. Then his eyes fell to Alyssa and a hand gently stroke her head, running his fingers through her hair. With his eyes on her, victor spoke to his brother:: "She is very unique brother...a Dream Walker she calls it, which speaks for itself i suppose. I know not where her powers lie in matters of limits nor abilities...all i know, is her blood is.... exotic to say the least...a powerful harvest to be certain....hence the reason she is still mortal at the moment...i must research this matter to discover if she will survive the transition, and if so...will her blood remain the powerful elixir it is at present" ::His eyes shot up to Bayne instantly to gauge his reaction, he then continued:: "She must be protected at all costs as of now. "

Bayne nods slowly, a serious expression on his face but his eyes betraying his thoughts. ?As you say Victor. She shall come to no harm on my watch." He turns back to the girl and smiles charmingly.. She raised an eyebrow at Bayne, she shivers a bit from the cold floor. She place her hands on her lap.

His eyes twitch to her shivering form and he looks back to Bayne:: "Would you be so kind brother, as to bring her one of those warm-fur robes and a bowl of that rabbit stew you made earlier? " ::He then ceased his attention to her hair, his eyes back on her now and gestured to Maliara's chair. It would have to do for now.:: "Come puppet, sit not on the floor."

Bayne bows his head and turns on his heel and heads for the dining area. "If there is any stew left I'll be surprised, I'm sure he shoveled more of it away than I did" He mutters to himself as he fetches a bowl
Grabbing the ladle he spoons some of the stew into other bowl, admiring the aroma of his latest concoction. Turning back, he collects a robe and returns to the throne room. "Here you go Alyssa, a warm bowl of stew and a very warm robe." He hands the robe to Alyssa first, letting her wrap herself in it before handing over the bowl and retiring to his seat on the other side of Victor. She would sigh in the warmth of blanket, closing her blue eyes for a few minutes. she would stand and move to other seat, and hungrily begins to eat the stew.

Victor offers a nod of thanks to his brother and thinks to himself dryly, i really must acquire a servant for the manor, then turns his attention to Alyssa and watches her, intent upon her actions and body language. The scent of the stew fills his nostrils and causes his belly to rumble some, then he picks up the scent of her exotic blood and his mouth begins to water behind his locked lips. Bur he doesn?t want her to become sick by him drinking her blood all the time, he must go hunt soon. He watches her eat silently for a few moments, and then turns his attention to Bayne with a slight chuckle and tinge of amusement in his tone:: "Seems she likes your stew as well. Perhaps we should open a kitchen for you in town somewhere" ::he actually laughed out loud at that, not because his lack of faith in Bayne's cooking abilities, but just the thought of a powerful Vampire/Lycan Hybrid as bayne lowered to the station of town cook tickled victor something awful::

Narrows his eyes at Victors little joke. " If I went and did that, you would have to actually pay me for my skills.. Hm.. In that case.. " He makes an expression of mock-consideration as he watches alyssa devour the bowlful of stew he had given her. She finished and lays her back against the back of the throne, her blue eyes actually closing and resting.

Victor returns his attention to Alyssa and watches her as she begins to relax, she seemed tired. His eyes narrow at the pulsing jugular artery at her throat, he pictured the blood flowing thickly through her veins, he imagined sparkles of light within every drop as that is what it felt like every time he drank from her. He . He blinked once and turned his eyes to her face:: "Are you sleepy dearest? Tell me how your body is feeling at this moment" ::He was curious about her, he had never come across such a being in all his 700 years of life. Stretches his legs out and folds his hands behind his head, a small smile on his face. The scent of her blood was amazing, it was a small wonder victor had been drawn to the likes of her. a Dream walker he had said.. He would have to go through the manors old library and see if there was anything on them in a tome or some such, but that would come later

"I am not tired, Victor. how did i came here and when i am being allowed to returned home?"

"Ah, at last you ask...i had figured it would have been the first words out of your mouth when you had awakened, but none the less. I entered your window while you were asleep this evening, you seemed exhausted from last evening...so i brought you here to watch you, to make certain you would recover without any..... difficulties. You are free to go whenever you desire... but i wanted to be certain you were safe." Bayne raises an eyebrow and glances at Victor. This girl obviously was something of very great value for him to behave thusly. He would have to keep his wits about him over this one, having to fight victor was never a pleasant thought at the best of times.

"I am free to go. just like that." her hand reach touches where he had bite her. she shivers, remembering the pain of it. "when i sleep, i usually be okay.?

"Ah, yes you are free to go...but do not tarry too far puppet. You are still mine, and i will not have any doubts in your mind about that. You are free to go about your life as usual. But you belong to me now and this is forever your home from now on. Body and soul, you are my pet now. Keep that in mind. " ::His eyes were cold again, his face devoid of emotion. He wasn?t angry, he wasn?t scolding her, he was simply telling her the way things would work for her from now on.. Smirks too himself as he hears the old Victor giving commands. Maybe this girl would prove more amusing after all. He looked over to her to gauge what reaction she would have at her words, resisting the urge to study her form again.. As tempting as it was such things could lead to unpleasantries later on down the road~

"If I am yours, why not keep here with you. how do you know I will not go away from here and from you." she prollay went too far, but she's doesn't under stand. "And make it where you can't find me.?.

He chuckled at her questions, not in an offensive manner, or at least not intending to make fun. He nodded slowly and answered her in a smooth tone:: "I am not worried about that dearest, there is no where you can go where i can not find you. I don?t intend to keep you locked away from the world. You WILL indeed stay here with me, when i have need of you. I can always find you now that I?ve tasted your blood, that is just

one of my....qualities that I?ve acquired over time. I am trying to make you as comfortable as possible. You are not my slave dearest, to the contrary, i consider you more of a valuable asset. Though, Bayne may accompany you most of the time , or Maliara, when i myself cannot....to prevent any harm from coming to you of course."

Bayne bares his short fangs in a wicked smile. ?Indeed, it would be far from my mind to let harm befall you miss, not unless Victor wishes it.. Until such time as that occurs you will be kept safer than a babe in the womb." With that said he turns to Victor and nods acceptance of the task~

she should have stayed quiet. she was free to go where she pleased. now she has an escort. ?I am yours?" she asked quietly. "till the day i die." she eyes bayne's sword.

Victor nods back to Bayne in thanks and approval of his choice of words:: "Keep in mind Brother...she is to be treated as family. As you would protect your sister Maliara, or myself... She is a friend to this coven... not a slave. And if will consent it, or i take it upon myself to ...persuade her...she will indeed eventually become family to this coven and serve as your sister." ::his attention was brought back to Alyssa at her question:: "Yes dearest, until death...and if possible...even thereafter"

Takes a more serious expression. "Indeed Victor, I would be loath to forget such things." He looks unto Alyssa once more and catches a bead of sweat running down her neck, accentuating the line of her jugular."I fear I may need to sup on something.." With a short bow he withdraws to the couldron of stew to keep his mind at peace.. She would sigh, and closes her blue eyes, she stands. Victor offers a nod of dismissal, or more accurately approval in Bayne's direction as he returns his attention to Alyssa, watching her as she stands...his ears twitching to the exhale of her breath. Was she disapointed? Would she rather be Victor's slave? :: Bayne Havign drawn himself some stew he sat down and ate quietly where he was, listening intently to make sure he missed nothing that was said.. or not said as the case may be~
She don't know what to think. she just know her life had change. she rubs her forehead as she stands there.

"is there something the matter puppet? " ::He watched as she rubbed her forehead, he worried that maybe he had drank too much of her blood the night before::

"this is alot to take in, Victor. i want my freedom." her blood replished itself when she sleep gathering enegry around her. Finishign his bowl he slips towards to doorway on silent feet.. leaving just inside of it he waiting to see what would happen now. The conversation was definietly turning interesting~
"Have i not offered you freedom? You are free to roam as you wish, conduct the buisness of your fragile mortal life to your heart's content, i have even ensured your protection and a place to call home....what more freedom do you require Alyssa?" ::He was confused at her remark...was he not being fair? He got what he wanted at no cost to her...she was being given the same freedoms as any of his coven members and she was but a mere pet, a mortal who would have, under usual circumstances, been raped and bled dry. What more could she possibly want?. Pondering what her reply would be, he found himself wondering why she was resisitng so much himself. Surely she knew she stood no chance agaisnt them on her own?~

"And you wanted me to be your pet?" She sighs. "How is that freedom to serve you. to see about your wants and desires. Victor. you thrown me into your world when we first meet the alley and you bite me.. have you thought about what it will do for me?"

He furrowed his brows in confusion. Had he thought about how it would effect her? No why would he? She was simply going to be exactly as he had described, an instrument to exhaust his carnal lust, and then a snack to sate his appetite. The fact that he had let her live through the experience should have been fair enough in Victor's eyes.:: "Fair enough, you are right. Perhaps i should just keep you locked up in a room somehwere. It would seem you had liked that idea better. Very well, as you wish dearest. Bayne?" ::He called for bayne fully aware he had been listening in.

Walks around the corner and looks at the pair with a slight smile on his face. "You called my liege?" He

turns his eyes onto alyssa, wondering if the girl knew what peril awaited her if she tried victors patience much longer.. She lowers her head, knowing she had lost, she would just sank down from where she had stand, a single word had never came on her lips, she wrapped her arms around her body, and sink into the warmth they had given her, her only safety net,

"It seems our....guest, would rather be a prisoner here. As much as i would rather her be our guest...it is no longer plausible it seems. Show Alyssa to her quarters in the dungeons. Perhaps a few nights as the coven's slave will put a new perspective of her life." ::Victor stood and walked away from her distraught form laying on the floor. He had done his best to be civil and fair with her and she all but spat in his face. She would only get what she deserved from now on.::

Bayne strolls over to alyssa and looks down at her crumpled form. ?Dear oh dear.. Just look where you got yourself now.." Saying no more he bodily picks her up, neither giving her option nor time to resist. Striding through the long corridors he coems across the dungoen and looks around. "Hmm.. where to put you.. Oh I know.. " He walks over to one corner where a collar and shackles waited. Setting her down he takes the coller and fastens it around her neck, the shackles to her hands. "I have left you the fur, but do not mistake itfor kindness. It gets bitterly cold in here and I wouldn't want you dead before Victor is finished with you." He runs his fingers across her cheek and then walks away laughing to himself. Looks like he was right after all he mused to himself.~

"I......will listen to him, I am his." She would lower her head. she prollay said it too late, her words will go unheard. "I will please him." She burrows her face under her arm, Victor sighed to himself as Bayne was still in the dungeon and took his seat once again at his throne propping his head up with his arm, his elbow digging into the arm rest of his throne. He was a bit depressed now that things hadn?t worked out quite the way he wanted them to, but he would not be walked all over, especially in his own home.::

Returning to the throne room Bayne looks over at victor and shows his teeth. "She is all trussed up and not going anywhere victor. I'm sure she will have plenty of time to think while she is in there.. The smells are simply amazing.. in there.. " He chuckles to himself and takes his seat again, his back resting against the arm of the chair, one leg draped over the other.

Victor lets out a sigh once again and looks up towards Bayne with weary eyes.:: "Tell me brother...do you feel i may have come on too strong with this one? Was i not being fair in your eyes? Be honest with me Brother." ::Victor had been seemingly different these past few days, before he had come into contact with Alyssa. He was having doubts about forming a new coven from scratch, he was having doubts as leader....not very common for victor, perhaps he was just depressed, perhaps being back in Rhy'Din was making him somewhat....emotional. Regardless, he still waited for Bayne's reply desperate to hear his opinion. she wouldn't cry. she wish she wouldn't said anything. she slips her hair comb out of her hair and pressed it to her wrist hard drawling blood. it would not be enough to kill her, just for her withdrawal herself. making her body into a shell, her mind will be free. her body will be alive.

Looking over to Victor he adopted his signature cheeky smirk before replying. " Too strong? I feel you may not have been strong enough.. I'll agree is she is delectable, but you were light handed in your treatment of her. Oh you were fair to be sure, any one else would have bee grateful to be in her position.. Perhaps you need a day or two of educating her to right your mind over this matter Victor." He let his head fall back, grinning wildly at the thought of what could be going on i that dungeon soon enough.~ her blood smell would travel to them quickly. and she smashed the only thing she could pick the lock with, with explode.

Victor gave a subtle nod at Bayne's words, his eyes distant and blank as he was deep in his thoughts, then shaking his head he sat up straight and lifted his chin, regaining his composure as is befit his station:: " You are right my brother, thank you for your words. Go check on her for me, just to make sure she is okay. See if she has learned her lesson as of yet, although i highly doubt 15 minutes in the dungeon will be long enough to get through to ...." :: he stopped in mid sentence as the scent of her freely flowing blood filled his nostrils, he let out a growl and stood erect, all manner of thoughts filling his head, first of all was that Bayne must have bled her...but that was dismissed at once, he trusted Bayne's word, and Bayne had given his word

to protect this one. Victor was in the dungeon in moments, flinging the doors open and moving to her limp form. His eyes went directly to the blood at her wrist and he let out a low growl as he saw the comb in her hand.:: "Foolish girl..."

Picking up the blood scent just before Victor, but not matching his pace, he followed up quickly. "What has.. Oh.. You have to be kidding me. I?m sorry victor, I should have restrained her tightly" His eyes never left the red marks on her wrist and his nostrils flared as he took in the scent. His desire to feed was getting stronger indeed.~

"the wound isn't deep," she lowers her head to victor. "it?s just a deep scratch, you will no longer hear anything from me."

Victor knelt beside her and swatted the comb from her hand and lifted her wrist to his mouth, licking the wound clean and then biting his tongue, letting his vampiric canine teeth piece the muscle easily. Then placing his tongue on her wound, he let his saliva soak into her flesh, causing her skin to stitch together in a matter of seconds. Dropping her wrist roughly he let out another snarl and stood before her, looking down upon her with cold eyes.:: "You are a very foolish girl, you are lucky i have more restraint than most, or you might have evoked my bloodlust and i would have bled you." ::as he said this, his eyes fell upon Bayne to read his body language and determine if Bayne possessed the same restraint.



His eyes flickered to Victor, he let the corner of his mouth curl up, revealing a fang, one eye twitching i and wink so slight only a vampire or other of similar skill could notice. He knelt down before Alyssa and looked her dead in the face, his eyes narrowing as his breath hissed from between his fangs. "Hm.. That is a smell one would find hard to resist.. Leaning forward he puts his mouth close to her neck before whispering " Do not try us young one, you may live to regret it..". He then returns to his feet and stands beside Victor once more.~

She nods, "Please, forgive me,,,Victor. I spoke out of turn eerier, I thank you for your hospitality in regarding my safety to you and your family. I will be yours,"

Victor thought about her words for a moment, his eyes still smoldering their icy fires of pure blackness. After a few moments of tense silence Victor nodded and gestured for Bayne to release her.:: "You had better be on your best behavior...it is not likely for a mortal to survive once they have disrespected me as blatantly as you....and i assure you, if it happens a second time, you surely will NOT! Regardless of how valuable i may consider you. Is that understood?" ::Without waiting to hear her reply he turned on his heel and made his way out of the dungeon slamming the iron-reinforced double oak doors in his wake::

Shrugging his shoulder he did as he was bid. "Looks like you live this night girl.. But I wouldn't count on your luck too much" He released the collar and shackles and made for the door himself, turning back and giving one last look over." It would be such a waste.. Such a terrible waste.." Shaking his head he left the dungeon, locking the doors behind him and catching up to Victor. "Well, not often you get that .. emotional.. Victor, this one has gotten to you after all hasn't she?" He quickly ducked back a few paces after finishing his sentence, just to be safe..

"i will behave." She would shivers and moves out of the dungeon. not a word she makes it toward the room she has awakened up in.

He snarled and turned to face Bayne, lightning flashing behind his eyes and his face twisted into a mask of Rage, his hand going to the hilt of his Bradon Katana secured at his hip:: "Hold you tongue!" ::Victor snarled as he took a step forward, but then stopped short of withdrawing his blade. he stood there, his chest heaving, his breathing heavy, and his jaw clenched tightly, causing his cheek muscles to pulse and blood to pool from his bleeding gums. Slowly, his breathing slowed, his the lightning behind his black pools of vision faded into darkness, his lip lowered, sheathing his teeth. His face retreated into a face of stoic perfection. His hand moved away from the hilt of his sword and he stood tall regaining his composure, then spoke smoothly as if nothing had happened:: "I assure you brother, it has naught to do with this one...." ::He went to say more then cleared his throat and turned on his heel heading towards the main door of the Manor:: "If you'll excuse me brother, i must feed now"

Bowing respectfully he kept his silence. "Wow.. That was a little close.." He muttered to himself. straightening up he retuned the long knife he had unsheathed the moment Victor had turned on him. Taking a breath to steady his verves he returned to the throne room and slumped back in his seat, deciding better to just wait and hold his tongue as he was told..~ She would slip behind the throne room and heads quickly to her room. Victor opens the main door of the BlackRose Manor and steps out into the dark slamming the door behind him. In his recent mood swings, he was off to wreak havoc on some poor unsuspecting victim...or two or three....: Sighing he lies his head back, wondering what to do with his time.. He knew better than to follow Victor or to leave their guest unattended. He straightened up and huffed as he got to his feet." Well, time to read I guess.." He walks off towards the manor library. she slide the cloak off and settles in the bed. a soft sigh in the covers.

Thanks to VictorBlackRose and BayneBlackRose for a great role-playing.
