RP:Feeding Evil

Summary: Phaedra finds herself face to face with a mutated freak who demands a sacrifice or her life.

Northern Sage Forest

Phaedra appears from behind a group of tree's, her attire still that of the evening before. Running her gaze over the surrounding area she sighs softly to herself. The night before had been a failure, she hadn't managed to find a date or even have someone ask her to go. Which would of been nice! Lifting the trail of her gown she made her way through the undergrowth, her crystal heeled slippers clicking off the ground as she carefully made her way to a place she could rest for a bit. Sitting atop a log, she removed her heels rubbing the balls of her feet. They seemed to ache from all the walking she had done today.

Revan :: Phaedra's time for rest would be short lived as a screech of terror rings out across the lush sage with a loud rustling of plants as something moves rapidly in her direction. Birds flee from their perches and rodents scurry across the forest floor in fear as a small child burst through the brush just ahead of her. The boy no older than eight years old stares to the vampire with a glazed look of horror, tears staining his face as he cries out to her "Please! You must help me! He's going to-" the words cut short as the blade pierces through the back of the boy's skull exploding brains and blood from the exit wound on his forehead. First inspection reveals the blade to be made of steel like a sword but following to the base shows no hilt but a light colored hairless arm that acts as a holster for the deadly weapon. The owner a well built mutated humanoid wearing only ragged burlap pants with a bald head and no lips to conceal it's razor sharp teeth that measure six inches long in length, it's glowing yellow eyes shift to stare at Phaedra now as he lifts the slain child into the air before retracting the blade back into his arm causing the lifeless corpse to fall to the earth and stain the soil a dark crimson red. The creature provides a demonic throaty growl as he slowly begins his approach toward the seated woman with a fate similar to the young victim in mind.

Phaedra shudders as she watches the scene in front of her, slowly standing up not knowing what to do next. Running those piercing indigo hues over the child's body she started to back away from the creature. Yet that scent of blood enticed her, her fangs now obvious and full lips quivering. She moves towards the corpse wanting to feed yet holding herself back as the creature moved closer she tried to let out a cry but nothing came out. Her body trembling, every one of her senses were going mad right now she turns running to one of the large tree's. Using all her vampire strength she vaulted up the tree, almost falling back down but managing to pull herself up she spoke to the creature softly. "What do you want of me? Pleas......Please don't hurt me." She was tired and scared and began crying softly wondering if this would be the end of her life.

Revan :: The monster offers a dark and gravelly laugh as Phaedra turns tail and flees for the tree, he just misses her ankle as she leaps up into the branches and a wicked snarl accompanied by a spitting hiss precede the reappearance of the deadly blades when the creatures throws each arm out to his sides one by one, the blades shooting out of flesh with a distinctive ripping sound. Pulling back he slams one of the blades into the tree and presses his bare foot against the bark before repeating the steps with his other appendages and begins crawling up after Phaedra, ready to slice at her limbs once he's close enough.

Phaedra climbs higher, trying to stay as far from his grasp as possible. A squel escaped her full lips as she quickly thought how to try protect herself. Climbing higher still she pulled a flower from her pocket, cupping her hands around it she began reciting some words the creature would not understand. "Angelo......Verandace.......Emhit ....Protective......" No sooner had the words had exited her lips a light appeared between her hands, and the rose disappeared. The light was bluish in color and if the spell was strong enough it would keep the creature from hurting her. But it was magic and she was very nervous, she'd just have to hope the spell had worked. The light was getting larger, now it completed covered her like a shimmering blue bubble. A protection spell of sorts, she didn't want to hurt him nor did she want him to hurt her! Tilting her head she ran her gaze over the creature watching him get closer and closer. Hoping that her spell had worked.

Revan :: The assailant stares at Phaedra as the shield envelops her body and laughs again though this time his mouth opens allowing a long, thin and wiry tongue to lash out, twirling around and caressing his teeth. Yanking the left blade free from the bark he rears back and slams it into the shield protecting Phaedra which to her dismay would shatter like glass, rapidly crashing down to the earth below as the blade retracts into his arm and his finger quickly wrap around the vampire's ankle where he would provide a good hard tug to try to jerk her free from the branch tossing her back to the forest floor.

Phaedra could feel herself falling, for a brief moment the fall seemed to last forever. Hitting the ground hard with a thud, she began crawling to another trunk trying to seek protection but failing terribly. Where the creature had grabbed her ankle there seemed to a redness, yet it had already started to heal. "Are you hungry......Is it food you want?" Completely terrified now she cried softly talking to herself. "Yeah this is great my life seems to be one big mistake!" Her fangs were obvious under quivering lips, her nerves now shot as she wondered if she was gonna be his meal or not. "Please don't hurt me......I haven't done anything to you." Placing her head in her hands she began weeping.

Revan :: As Phaedra crawled away the monster followed close behind with his feet digging into the dirt and knuckles punching down with each step until he towers over her taking hold of her wrists to pull them away from her face and force them down to the ground pinning her beneath him. Leaning in and inhaling deeply through his nostrils sniffing her scent and licking at her cheek with that vile tongue of his the demon speaks for the first time in a voice that could only be described as pure evil. "Oh? You haven't done anything sweet heart? Poor, poor pitiful you. Well, surprise darlin'" He growls before erupting with a shout into her ear "Your very existence is bothering me!" Dirty finger nails dig into her wrists as the beast opens his mouth and rubs the tip of his teeth carefully against her neck causing a bit of the flesh to split open. "But... You sure are a pretty one. So... provocative" he continues, "I'll cut you a deal, scared one." he nods to the corpse of the child "That boy over there, he has a sister roaming these woods... bring her to me and I'll let you go on about your merry way. Fail to do so and I'll cut your beautiful body limb from limb and feed it to the wolves."

Phaedra cries her gaze linking with that of the creatures own. "I cannot nor will I do such a treacherous thing......I cannot fathom such a thing.....Please if its a life you seek take mine. God knows I deserve some kind of piece." Her eyes have a fire burning deep within them, as she spoke he'd be able to tell she could not and would not do such a thing. Turning her face to the side she waited for him to end this, maybe this was just another step in life. Maybe when she breathed her last breathe, maybe then she would find peace. A tear of blood rolled down her face as she closed her eyes, ready for the death that awaited her. "Do it......And please make it quick."

Revan :: The beast growls in frustration and snaps his teeth at the downed woman just before the weight on top of her would immediately fade away. Looking around she'd find the demon and corpse were long gone without a trace and her wounds healed as if they'd never been there at all. A hooded man in dark robes who's glowing blue eyes can be seen staring out from just below the brim of cloth stands before her licking his lips before he speaks in a calm and familiar voice, "You have a great deal of fear in you. That fear leads to panic which causes you a lose of judgment but not morale. An undead of vampiric origin stares a demon in the face and though she recoils with fear she does not yeild to his demands to save her own life, instead surrendering her life for that of a stranger. Rare." The figure moves to stand beside her and kneels down to present a unique flower grasped within his clutches, a single white rose. "Take this and keep it close to your heart. Whenever you feel down and need some help, pick one of the petals and close your eyes. You'll find exactly what it is you're looking for." Just as soon as he appeared, the hooded man vanished leaving Phaedra alone on the forest floor with only the flower to show for what she'd just experienced.

Revan gave 1 white rose to Phadra.

Phaedra was confused but relieved, god was she relieved! Holding the rose in her left hand she contemplated the makes words, understanding what he meant. She needed to make herself stronger and fight for what she thought was right. She was a vampire and had many strengths, she just needed to learn how to use them. Sighing softly she took a moment to think over the words he'd spoken, a smile now appearing upon her full lips. She believed that for once she had certainly made the right choice!
