Dark Nights 16, Its Your Life

"And I do think that one insulted me by drawing that stake." The vampire was just getting up when Daniel staked him from behind and he crumbled to dust. You edged forward to the door and looked out, the front yard went down a few yards to a wrought iron fence, there were tall stone walls around the front yard, like the back. Beyond the gate you glimpsed the street, no streetlights were working, the rundown house across the street looked like the den of some foul beast that spewed waste. To its left the building was not as hideously run down, but it was bad, and outside a group of men were lurking, from inside distant sounds could be heard. You closed you eyes in disbelief that you were actually in Desperation Dumps, the very worst part of the city, the part the cops avoided because it was so far gone, beyond help, as the crackhouse before you attested. Daniel pushed you back inside and firmly moved you away from the door as Koji shut and locked it. "No, no, bad girl," he chuckled. You yawned and glared at him. "Hmph, screw you." He smiled and patted you on the head. "I wish." "Ahh! Gross! Shut up!" you squealed. "What? Its the truth-" "Stop being a pervert," Koji snapped. They glared at each other for a second then you decided you needed a break from all the testosterone and went up to bed.
ohhh a new plot line emerges, what's the gangster vampire like?
yay!!! the end!!! now back to the sunny world around me!
okay... where's the rest? (me: ~_~"""" you want more?!?!)
After a thorough soak you rinsed off and got out then walked back to your bedroom for your clothes and stopped dead at the sight on your bed. Daniel was lying there shirtless with tousled hair, staring up at the canopy over the bed. "I was thinking..." he began slowly. You made unintelligible gurgling noises, frozen to the spot, though that rather quick little voice in your head was yelling 'back to the bathroom! back to the bathroom!' He looked over and raised an eyebrow in surprise. "If I knew you were in the habit of walking around naked I would have spent more time in here." You glared at him. "I am not naked! And what the Hell are you doing in here? Wheres your shirt?" "I took a shower." 'A cold one I hope,' you thought nastily. "But as I was saying- Ive been thinking. What would you do if I let you go today? Right now for example." "First I'd put some clothes on, then Id go home." "Thats a given," he grimaced at you. "But do you think you could be normal again? Do you think you could just go back to work tomorrow, say you were sick and act like nothing happened?" "Sure, if thats what it takes." "So you dont want to stay her with me?"
YES!! yes yes yes of course!!!
Uh welll... er herm
NOOO!!! no no no get me out!
You managed to get the can open and wandered back to the dinning room to eat. Faintly, the sounds of the TV in the library drifted to your ears, you noticed for the second time the slight musty smell of the house. The floorboards creaked above you, the wind rattled at the windows, and shadows danced across the floor of the dimly lit room. Suddenly, disturbing the calm of the house there was a commanding knock at the front door. In a second both vampires were in the front hall, glancing at each other, and at the door. You crept to the dinning room door and looked out. The knock rang out again and Daniel stepped forward. "Whos there?" he shouted. "Monsieur Daniel Dupont?" the emotionless male voice replied, it was no question but a statement. Daniel reached out and unlocked the bolts then wrenched the door open with such force that several paint chips flaked off and floated down towards the floor. Outside stood two short dark men; the one who had been knocking was wiry and looked underfed; the other one appeared to be his muscle. "Ah Monsieur, I knew that you were at home tonight so I have taken the liberty of stopping by to deliver my message in person." He looked at the two men expectantly but they merely stared back at him. With a shrug he continued, "My master sends his compliments and would like to notify you that as of this Friday we annex the west side of downtown, from the art museum to 23rd street."
Thats a big chunk of land!
Whos his master, he is cute? (me: -_-)
Whos we?
You sighed in relief and got dressed in some sweats and a tank top. It was late, or early, however you looked at it, your stomach growled its complaints and you decided to see it there was any food around. You crept downstairs, unsure if you wanted to run into Daniel when we was being so odd. You wandered through the empty dinning room into the butlers pantry and started rooting around. There was blood in the little fridge, lots of it. Gagging slightly you shut the fridge and started rooting through the cabinets. Most were empty, but you finally found one that was stocked with cans and sorting though them you found most were still good. What do you snag?
Corn!
Spaghetti-Os
Fruit!
Peas!
"Uh well, not really," you muttered looking down at your feet. He turned back to the interesting canopy. "I see. But what if you werent stuck here, what if you could go out with your friends, go to work if you wanted, do whatever you felt like, go wherever, would you come back here in the morning?" "Uhh, I really dont know, I kinda like my house, and I dont really know you ya see..." you were trying not to offend him and work out the best way to win youre freedom. He rolled over and looked at you, smiling in that melting way, "Well we can start working on that right now." "Thats not what I meant!" you exclaimed taking a step back. "Ma cherie, it might not be what you meant, but it is still a good idea. Come sit down, we'll talk," he purred patting the spot next to him. "Uh no thanks, I hafta get dressed," you were looking around frantically for the clothes you laid out. Glancing back at him you saw him holding them up, waving them at you. You rolled you eyes and groaned. "Give me my clothes." "Hmm, I dont know about that, now that I look at it, I sort of like that towel." "Daniel! Damnit give me my clothes!" He sat up then slid off the bed; picking up the jumbled mass of fabric he strode over and stood before you, smirking. "Here." He dropped the pile on your outstretched hand. "We'll talk later then," he breathed in your ear before giving you another gorgeous smile and leaving the room.
No!! Come back! I dont need to get dressed!!!! (me: ~_~ yes, yes you do, now put some pants on!)
okay the other two /\ are crazy
Arrr, its a good thing for him he didnt touch me!! Ill stake that vampire one of these days (Daniel: are you sure I cant kill her? me: Yes damnit! Now put down that knife)
"Thats a third of downtown!" Koji exclaimed angrily. Daniel put up a hand to silence him. "We took over all of downtown by right, what makes your master think that we would give it up?" "Our ranks have expanded greatly lately, there are only two of you and yet you have the largest warm body count of any turf. You do not need that much space while we do." "So that you can swell your ranks enough to push us out," Daniel smiled, "That was a tactic I used when I was young, and unable to hold large amounts of land by myself. Let him try to take it, it is our land and any who cross into will meet the prescribed fate." In spit of their tough acts, both of the messenger vampires shuddered slightly at his words. "My master will be," he forced the words out, "disappointed to have to kill such worthy neighbor." "Tell Sistani, I will be very pleased to kill him if he ever gives me reason enough to take time out of my schedule for him." The wiry vampire shuddered and seemed to hunch oddly in front of Daniel, you recognized the pose as the wind up before a pounce. "Daniel!" you shouted just in time, Daniel nodded and caught the vampire as he lunged, stake drawn. "Ma cherie, I hope you do not think less of me for saying that your warning was unnecessary." You snorted in response and withdrew into the shadows of the dinning room. "The reason you are both not dead yet," Daniel said holding the vampire a foot off the ground, "is because I want you to tell Sistani I will accept no intrusion on my lands." He dropped the man and glared at them both, the stout one nodded and began to run. "Koji, how many men does it take to deliver a message?" "One," Koji said smirking.
Mulan!!!!!!
Ohh, sparkly, huh? is something happening?
WTF? what does mulan have to do with this quiz?

you're all gung-ho about the vampires, and especially Daniel, ~_^ heh. your forwardness surprises him, but he likes a girl who knows what she wants,especially if its him

you're unreadable, even, calm, pretty much just taking it all in, trying to figure out whats going on without letting others know whats going on with you

you are the anti-vampire, whether you're scared of them, or just think they're annoyiny horndogs you want out and you're not opposed to killing them to get away
