((If someone wants to throw an NPC in here as a sacrifice, it would be great. Or if someone wants to try and keep her from feeding or something, that would work too. LOL But just to clarify, I am not asking anyone to open a vein for her. I'm not trying to kill anyone's characters here.))



Venis left the docks still hungry. After meeting up with Epiphany, she just couldn't bring herself to eat there. She opened another random portal and it took her somewhere she had never been before. She was in another dimension. The sky was all purple. The grass was blue. Everything was off color. It was an illusion of the light, because her hands looked green to her. Not like grass is supposed to be green, but like the green you find in a baby's diaper when you feed it peas. It made Venis shudder.

What were now pale pink eyes closed slowly. A lean of the head to the left with a roll to the right popped her neck. Her eyes remained closed as long slender fingers pushed several strands on now black hair back from her green face. There were beings here. Humanoid beings. None of them were overly powerful from what Venis could tell. Nothing here could have the power to hold her captive within her own Keep. Nothing here rivaled her power in such a way. But those voices in her head were getting louder. They wanted her to feed. They wanted her to feed a lot.

She began to walk, eyes coming open as she took her first step. The voices, though many, were coming through clearly enough for her to understand what they wanted. A glance to her left showed her a small furry mammal. It had long ears that flopped to the sides, a long orange horn out of the center of it's head, fangs longer than hers, and it was dark blue. If she hadn't seen the horn or the fangs she would have thought bunny. She tipped her head to the right as she looked at the little blue ball of fur.

A turn to the left and steps taken forward. Her heels were missing from upon her feet. No doubt lost within the portal somehow. Silent steps carried her to stand before the little furry bunny type being. It seemed to either not notice her presence or not care. She began to kneel down and reach for the being when it looked up at her. It was chewing on something. Venis presumed grass. But when something slimy and brown came dripping out the corners of it's mouth, Venis no longer thought the being to be consuming vegetation. Herbivore, Omnivore, Carnivore, or Insectivore, it mattered not to Venis. She saw the creature as one thing and one thing only ....Food.

Venis' hand got closer to grabbing the thing up when it hissed at her. A pause in her movements was brief. She returned to her motions reaching for the thing's horn, thinking that the best way to pick it up. The being, sensing danger hopped backwards and then there was a sound of bones breaking. The being began to grow. Venis stood from her squatting position and watched as the thing grew to stand taller than her on two haunched back legs. It had more muscle tone than even her son, and he was a Dracon. And the best part, it sprouted a second head.

At this point, one of two things was going to happen. Either this thing was going to still be prey for Venis, or Venis was going to be it's prey. Venis was nothing's prey. The second head looked identical to the first, and it had grown out of the shoulder in a way that it made the neck look v shaped. This brought Venis to the conclusion that she would need to sink fang into one of the two sides of the neck to bring this beast down. And with a hiss and a jump, that was what she did. She sprung on the beast going for the neck on the left.

The beast moved and swatted her away like a cat with a ball of yarn. Venis grabbed at the other arm to keep from flying away into the brush with the impact of the swat. Her grabbing the arm knocked the beast off balance. It raised the arm that Venis had clung to and brought her around to face it. Both heads moved towards her and snapped at her in an attempt to bite her first. Venis, who was hanging from the arm of the beast, kicked at it. Her foot landed solidly in the belly of the beast. This caused the beast t double over.

Venis now had both feet back on solid ground. She still had ahold of the arm as well. She gave the arm a yank while the beast was doubled over. It tipped the top heavy beast over. Venis moved back as it fell forward. She twisted it's arm around behind it's back and and put her knees in it's spine. Both heads reared back and a shrill high pitched sound was emitted from it's throat. As it's heads were thrown back, Venis struck true. She sank her fangs into the side of the neck, puncturing the vein that pulsated below the blue fur. With a slight withdraw of fangs, she began to suck. Drinking the beast down until there was but two drops of blood left within it's veins.

Venis got up off the now dead beast, wiping her mouth with the back of her hand. Grey blood. But blood was blood, right' Wrong. The voices in her head were not happy with the offering she had given them. There was a resounding no within her head, causing an instant head ache. And then in a flash, Venis found herself gripping her stomach. She doubled over and fell to her knees. She had but a moment to move her hair back with one hand while holding her stomach with the other. A turn to the right and Venis retched. Her stomach convulsed violently as she threw up all the blood she had just drank.

When there was nothing left but dry heaves, and Venis got control of her gag reflex once again, she rose to her feet. She wiped her mouth again and then held out her hand. A small bottle appeared in the palm of her hand. At least her powers worked here. She uncorked the bottle and poured the contents into her mouth. She swooshed the liquid around and spit it out. Mouthwash was a wonderful thing. She closed her hand and the bottle disappeared as if it had been squashed into her palm. Venis shook her head and sighed. This place didn't have any beings powerful enough magically to be worth this trouble. So she opened another portal to anywhere but here ...





....Venis stepped out of the portal and it didn't take her but a moment to realize she was back in her own dimension. And back in Rhy'Din none the less. A glance around at her surroundings as the portal closed and Venis deduced where she was. She was near the fountain. In fact, as she concluded her three hundred and sixty degree turn, she was standing where a building had once stood. Great. People were just what she needed. But the place had yet to be rebuilt, therefor there was no one around. A look down at her feet told her that her shoes were back. Good thing that. The streets sometimes liked to hang onto tiny bits of things that could injure a foot.

Venis looked around some more. There had to be something or someone who would happen along soon enough. Something or someone suitable for consumption. She could always portal back out, to somewhere else. But then she risked another vomiting spell. At least in this dimension she knew she could eat her prey. She could go for a walk, but her headache was worse, her stomach hurt both from hunger and from the retching of earlier. This wasn't her normal symptoms. It was as if that darkness that she had called upon was making her normal symptoms worse. So, slowly, she began to walk. She paused long enough to open a tiny portal to her room back at the Starry Myst Inn. It opened right into her nightstand drawer. She found her little box of crackers, retrieved it, and withdrew her hand letting the portal close as she did so. Then she began her slow walk again, as she nibbled on saltine crackers and looked for food.

Venis had nibbled on a few crackers before the man in the alley way had spotted her. So she was walking a little better. But she still had a very upset stomach. The voices in her head were still demanding they be fed. And they were not satisfied with crackers. They were telling her to burn the wings off of the birds flying overhead if that was what it took. Venis was trying to ignore them. But the stomach ache could not be ignored. It was a thousand times worse than her usual stomach ache that stemmed from what she was.

She noticed the man when he began to stride towards her. She paused in her steps and regarded his approach with curiosity. What did he want she wondered. And soon enough, she would find out. She listened as he spoke to her. Right eyebrow raising as she did. He wanted to help. Well, how could she refuse such an offer"

Right hand moved from Venis' stomach and she closed what was left of the space between them. "You want to help me?" Spoken as she leaned in close to him and placed her hand upon the back of his head. "This will only hurt for a minute." Whispered into his ear as fingers closed into a fist in the man's hair.

She pulled his head to his left with a jerk. Her left hand went behind his back and she opened her mouth wide. She struck with inhuman speed. The poor man wouldn't have had a chance to get away even if he had tried. Two sharp fangs pierced the flesh of the man's neck and sank deeper. The vein was pierced and with the slightest withdraw, blood began to flow.

Venis' lips closed over the man's skin forming a seal as she began to suck upon the wound she had caused. His sweet coppery blood began to flow into her mouth, her saliva allowing it to flow freely given it had an anticoagulant in it. Her eyes closed slowly as she felt the hot liquid run down her throat.

She held him against her body, allowing him one last pleasure before his demise. She could easily support his weight as she ingested that which gave him life. His body was reacting to the closeness of her's and the euphoria of her deadly kiss. She hadn't needed to bespell him, and didn't care to either. But her bite was naturally euphoric, another side effect of her being a God.

She felt the man pressing against her body harder in some places. She paid no attention to it beyond that. His heart rate was slowing and his breathing was becoming labored. He was slipping away, and becoming heavier in her arms. But Venis continued. She was sure that someone would happen along and try to stop her, as she was in the middle of town in the middle of the day. But no one seemed to notice them.

She felt his body convulse as he reached the point of ultimate release. And then his body went limp in her arms. She knew he was near the end of his life when she was having trouble getting a steady flow of blood from the wound. And then the man's other fluids let go, solids too. And Venis removed her mouth from his neck.

She let his dead body fall to the ground where they stood. She wiped her mouth with the back of her right hand and stepped over him to walk away. The voices in her head had been happy for this gift. At least, while she had been drinking it they had. Now they were demanding more. And they were still just as loud about it. She had just fed them an entire human, and they wanted more. The darkness wanted more. And if she didn't give it what it wanted, she was going to end up going insane.

Angelica Gomez ....A young woman on her way up in the world. See Angelica, Angie to her friends, had just gotten promoted to office manager at the marketing firm that she worked at. And she was having a celebratory lunch with her friends. Unfortunately, she was running late. Her boss had delayed her leaving because he wanted to get her moved into her new office right away.

Running as fast as she could, Angie turned the corner to head towards the restaurant. The distance wasn't enough to justify taking a car. And there was no way she was going to ride in her new suit. But she had traded her heels for jogging shoes thinking the walk would do her some good. Only now, the walk was a run. But the moment she turned the corner, she saw a man falling to the ground at the feet of a tall red haired woman.

Seeing this caused Angie to stop in her tracks. And once she realized what had happened she screamed at the top of her lungs. It sounded like one of those screams in a horror movie when the serial killer is after the girl.

"Help! Guards ....Someone ....That woman just killed that man."

Angie turned and ran in the opposite direction of the woman. She was still screaming and yelling for help. Someone had to hear her and come to see what was going on, didn't they?

Angie saw the fireball fall from the sky before her. Once it hit the ground it spread into a wall of flames. This did make her stop running. But not screaming ....Angie screamed again. She looked around to see where she could go. Into a shop, she could go inside somewhere. Surely the woman wouldn't follow her into a shop, right"

Immediately to Angie's left was a shop that sold magical items. She ran inside and started trying to get herself lost inside. Surely the woman wouldn't follow her into this shop. There had to be others within the shop somewhere, wasn't there" A shop keeper, a clerk, customers"

She turned a corner at the end of a row and thought she was hidden enough. She looked at the things around her. There was a selection of staffs. They were labeled. Staff of Divination, Staff of Enchantment, Staff of Illusion, Staff of Necromancy ....That one was rather ugly.

Angie thought to herself that she should kick herself. When she had been in school, there was a class on mystical arts. It was elective for those who had never shown any talent in such areas. And Angie had elected to not take the class. Maybe if she had taken it, one of these staffs would do her some good right now. But if nothing else, she could always use one as a weapon. She would pay for it afterwards, if she survived. But what other choice did she have if that woman followed her in"

Angelica was holding her breath as much as she could to try and not let her breathing give away her location. But apparently, it was of no use. The woman found her anyway. When she was tapped on the shoulder, she was startled to say the least.

Angie jumped up from where she was squatted down. She screamed again as she grabbed a staff from the shelf. She turned towards the woman who had tapped her on the shoulder and swung the staff with her turn. Hopefully, she would hit the woman in her head or something.

Angie was no fool. The moment the woman grabbed the staff and pulled, she let go. She nearly stumbled upon releasing the weapon. But she managed to keep her feet. She turned around to run and found herself cornered. Now what was she supposed to do"

She grabbed up another staff and swung this one at the woman too. She couldn't be fast enough to disarm her twice, could she" Angie was also looking with her peripheral vision to see if there was something else she could use as a weapon against the woman. There had to be some way to escape.

There was nothing Angie could do now. She was well and . And the woman was coming towards her again. Angie began to slide down the shelf's towards the floor. She screamed again, but that was pure instinct. After all, what good had screaming done her before"

Angie curled up as small as she could get and began praying to the Christian God to save her.

"Please God, save me. Don't let me die this way. I truly want to live. Please God. If you can hear me here, please, save me."

Angie wasn't sure what else to do. How else could one save themselves in a situation like this" She knew that Rhy'Din had had it's own God's, but she knew nothing about them. And when she got here from Earth seven years earlier, she never took the time to figure it out. All she knew was that there were other Christian's around, and there were churches, so she remained Christian.

Maybe God could hear her though. Maybe he knew the local God's and could get one of them to help her? All Angie knew was that she needed help getting out of this situation, and fast.

For a brief moment, Angie thought she was going to survive this. The woman was showing signs of illness as she prayed. Perhaps God could hear her and was striking the woman down. And the woman started telling her to shut up. Even yelling it at her. Angie felt compelled to do so.

And then the woman grabbed her by the hair. She screamed at the top of her lungs, over and over. She grabbed the arm of the hand that was lifting her by her hair. But then the woman exposed her neck and bit it. Angie had a moment to wonder how a vampire could be out in the light of day.

Memories began to flash through her mind as she felt her blood draining from her neck. Her eyelids got heavy and her muscles weak. She was remembering everyone and everything. Wishing she could say goodbye to them all as she knew she was going to die. Then, slowly, it all began to fade to black and her body fell limp. And just like that, Angie was gone ...
