^Memo^. "If you sit down, Ill explain." Taking a seat on the back of the sofa, you took the opportunity to look them over for the first time since youd entered the room. Daniels normally well-groomed appearance was all disheveled, he looked dead tired, and you could see several new scratches and bruises. Koji was looking scruffy too, but not beat up. There was a slightly shell-shocked air about him as he threw back shots of whiskey. Daniel stood, between the table and the couch, his eyes slightly glazed as he thought back over the evening.

"That was very smart, And very stupid of you darling. You were quicker than either of us, but if she had believed you were lying we wouldnt have the pleasure of your company right now."

"Its a good thing its it was- easy to convince Clarice theres secrets and lies where there arent any," Koji said through gritted teeth.

"I guess I should give you some background on Clarice," Daniel sighed. "I was, as Koji told you, her sire. About a hundred years ago, when I was a younger vampire, heh, I happened to met this fair young maiden one night."
"Maiden my ass," Koji snorted. "She was a thorough whore even before you corrupted her."

"Not in the literal sense, Koji. A human girl, a spoiled brat from an upperclass family, but otherwise harmless. I followed her around, got introduced at a mutual friends house, and then I turned her. It was the biggest mistake of my life, human or vampire. For I unleashed an abomination on the world."

"How was she so much worse than an ordinary vampire?" you asked. The two vampires winced and glanced at each other.

"Clarice had been a spoiled sheltered child, always getting everything she wanted with no knowledge of suffering. She turned she became incredibly sadistic, never having known pain she could never understand it in her victims, but what she did understand delighted her. She was also jealous and possessive, as her sire, she saw me as her property. I was not allowed near any other women when I was with her unless I killed them imediately, she took all the fun out of life." He sighed. "And then she left me to go out on her own and only got worse. She started killing other vampires for sport since humans werent challenging enough."

"She killed them without reason," Koji murmered. "We never kill our own without at least shaky reasoning, turf being a valid reason since we live off what we find on our land, but she killed everyone and anything."

O.o
bitch!
scary! hold me mommy!
yeah okay
"And that brings us up to the present. Tonight when you told Clarice there was another woman she believed you, being a jealous creature, its her nature to trust such statements. Koji led her to the Riverside Apartment Complex building downtown, I own one of the apartments, well several actually. There was no girl, but I had arrived before them and was waiting. Clarice, as you can imagine, was furious. She threw a screaming fit, stomping about the room, knocking over furniture, throwing the lamps. She smashed one of the windows with the toaster. Then she calmed down enough to attack me."
"You scum! Ill teach you!" She rushed at Daniel, who was leaning on the balcony door. He grabbed her by the arm and threw her across the room, but she sprung up and leaped, nails flashing in the harsh light. He tried to duck out of the way but she caught his arm, sinking her miniature daggers into his flesh. He gritted his teeth and slammed her through the glass door as she slashed at him again. There was a bloody battle on the balcony as they beat each other back and forth in the night. Finally Daniel knocked her to the ground, and holding her down as she frantically clawed his arms he pulled a stake from his coat and stabbed her through the heart with it. Her body stiffened, her mouth frozen open in a scream of rage and fear. Then she melted into a coarse dust. "And so Clarice is no more," Daniel concluded.
Intense...
Hell! I wanted to kill her! *pouts
Yay Daniel!!! Wherer the cookies? *looks around expectantly
sure, cool, whatever
He smiled at you slightly. Blushing you glanced down at the floor, then jerked your head back up. "Hey! Your arms look a lot better then a couple minutes ago!" "Yeah, we heal fast," he shrugged. "But that doesnt help with all the blood stains." Koji snorted and hopped off the table. "I still need to feed," he grumbled then stalked out of the room. You felt Daniel approach and looked up, into his intense blue eyes. "Ma cherie," he whispered sadly. "I am so sorry about the past few days." "Its okay," you said standing. "Everythings fine now!" He smiled. "I love your silly optimism," he laughed pulling you into a hug. "Its so refreshing to be around someone so alive!"
ummmm
Ack! Get off!
