Wake me up...

[Chaosmazer]

"You stupid beast!" Gabriel flinched lightly, but stood still as he felt a goblet hit him, full of what looked to be wine that soaked his clothes. He looked up. "I'm sorry Master..." he said looking up to a fearsome looking man... Pale skin, dark eyes. Gabriel knew that his master was a full blooded vampyre through and through, a particularly strong one at that. One that nobody had been able to defeat, hundreds of hunters looked to kill his master... yet none had succeed.

"I thought a wolf like you would be able to accomplish such a simple task as this. I need a sacrifice you dumb animal! Every night you come back empty handed my window of opportunity closes a bit more." he said. Gabriel looked down. "I'm sorry Master... people don't wander through the woods anymore... since all the abductions... to keep blood flowing..." he said. He felt a searing pain shoot through him. "Don't talk back to me! I want no more excuses... tomorrow you will find a sacrifice or you will face pain that you cannot imagine! We have a week remaining until the ceremony is to be held..." his master said.

Gabriel removed himself to his quarters. A simplistic room... though it seemed a bit more like a beast den than any sort of quarters... the werewolf was not treated well by his master... but he was bound by magic, in service to the cruel vampyre. Enslaved by a vampyre... if he was to simply leave, he would get sick, and die within hours. He needed to find someone... his master had found a ritual... one that would make him immue to the sun... that would allow him to walk in the day... but it required a sacrifice... after this place had become well known to house he and his many other followers, so others stayed away from the castle, and the surrounding forest for miles... it was slim pickings, he rarely found anybody anymore.

His life was like a dream it seemed... he could run about the woods, roam the lands around the castle as much as he liked, yet he could feel chains around his arms, his neck, his legs... binding him, restricting him. He longed just to run free... he slept uneasy that day...

The next night, he was out, looking... knowing that it would be punished severely if he could not find a sacrifice... if he could not find someone. He ran through the woods, a hybrid form, part wolf, part man, sniffing the air, searching for someone.

Rose Ishtar was running from a guy of men who were seeking to kill her. She bore a mark on her chest that made her immune to becoming a werewolf like her family was known to do. She needed to go where no other people dared to enter, the woods where an old powerful vampire ruled. It was either that or die by the flame.
So she picked up her pace and ran into the woods until she knew they stopped following her. When she knew the men were not following her anymore, she stopped running and sat down on the ground to catch her breath. You see long ago, a family ancestor had taken in a werewolf that had been wounded in a fight. Back then werewolves were killed on sight weather they were killers or not.
But her ancestor was a kind gentle man who saw beauty and trust inside the werewolf. In turn for him protect it from the cruel hunters, he was given the ability to go back and forth from wolf to man at will. Ever since then, her family has been able to do the seem except for Rose.
She was born different like there was another reason for her to born into a world where she would be hated all her life.

((lol, sorry, I didn't see that someone responded to this or I would have posted earlier))

Gabriel suddenly picked up on a scent... someone was near. He moved quickly through the woods, the beast that he was tracking his prey. He howled lightly, enjoying the little freedoms that he got... no matter how morbid it was. He could see her, smell her. He was full in the hunt... though he had enough sense that he knew that he wouldn't kill her... just drag her back to his master... keep her imprisoned for a week or so... but it didn't matter to him... she was just a victim. Wrong place at the wrong time... but she would spare him suffering. He came out of the darkness to tackle her, once she was pinned, it would be all over for her.

(That’s okay.=)) Rose let out a whelp as he got on top of her. She kicked him off of her and glared at him. She then noticed that it was a werewolf that attacked her. She says, “Look here werewolf, I may be human but I am stronger than I look.” She winced as he had cut her leg when he jumped on her. Other werewolves usually can’t stand the smell of her blood. She glares at him as she continues to be ready for a fight.

[Chaosmazer]

He growled at her lightly. Saying nothing, he could smell her blood... it was odd... he didn't want to attack her anymore... just how she smelt... but he remembered what would happen to him if he was to fail... he renewed his assault on her... he wasn't a crazed beast... more cunning than anything, he held the ferocity of a beast, yet was smart enough to plan an attack, a born fighter.

[Guest]

Rose looks at him and says, “Just go away. My life has been hell enough just by the humans. I do not need to be pained by werewolves too.” She sits down again and tries to stop the blood from her leg. Tears were going down her face. She looks at her body and looks at all the scars she has gain from her werewolf siblings. She began to shake again as she thought about it.

[Chaosmazer]

Seeing as she sat down, trying to stop her bleeding. The werewolf moved towards her. He hunched over lightly, looking at her face... how she was crying. "I have to take you to my master..." he said looking to her. "I'm sorry... but I can't let you go... if I do..." he looked down a moment. "Just please... don't struggle..." he said. If he remembered right... her life wouldn't have to be given up... just a blood sacrifice. He reached out to her. "I don't want to fight you... but if you struggle, I won't hold back..." he said, a small warning, though he sounded sorry about it.

[Guest]

Rose looks at him and asks, “I take it your master beats you like the townspeople beat me?” She looks at him unable to see why he would give her a choice. She looks back towards the town and then says, “Well I know I can never go back home. Lead the way, I don‘t like being carried.” Her dress was a bit tore up so she could make a bandage out of it for her leg. She winces as the fabric rubs on the cut.

[Chaosmazer]

"We can get that fixed when we get to the castle..." he said looking to her. He didn't really want to say his master beat him... he did hurt him, but never did his master touch him. He felt a bit sorry for this girl... but he still had a job to do. He walked on. "If you try to run, you won't make it far at all..." he said. "Why... why do they hurt you anyways?" he asked. Her blood smelled funny...

[Guest]

Rose looks at him and says, “My family are prone to be werewolves. My family ruled the town with kindness, but people still hated them. I was born human with all the strengths of a werewolf. They beat me because I could easily kill them all if I had the heart to. I however am not mean enough to do so.” She walks beside him limping not allowing her body to heal itself. She says, “My werewolf siblings beat me to make me use to pain of any kind.”

[Chaosmazer]

He listened to her story, he seen her limping a bit. "Do... you need any help" he said. "Your blood... has an odd effect... it does smell a bit odd..." he said. "And... I'm sorry about that, I never really had much of a family. I... well... I'm a pure werewolf I don't remember my family really... just my master. He raised me to be her servant." he said. "He... he doesn't beat me... but he can cause pain... very... very bad pain to spread through my body on a whim. If I was to run away... I'm sure he could stop my heart if he wished." he said.

[Guest]

Rose looks at him and says, “No I don’t need any help, but thank you anyway.” She listens to him calmly as she sees the castle coming into view. She says, “My blood to you felts like a wounded comrade, which makes you want to stop attacking me. It is a defense mechanism my body naturally makes.” She groans as her knee gives out from being tired from all that running she did to get away from the men. She asks him, “What does your master need of me?”

[Chaosmazer]

As her knee gave out, the beast caught her and lifted her up in his arms. "It will be easier like this, sorry if you don't like it... but... your leg wont get any better by walking on it..." he said. "And... I'm not completely sure. I know he needs fresh blood from a human... it's for a ritual... it is supposed to make him able to walk in the sunlight." he said. "My... my name is Gabriel... in case you were wondering..." he said.

[Guest]

Rose looks at him uneasy as he took her in his arms. She says, “My name is Rose Ishtar. I doubt your master will enjoy my blood.” She lays her head on his shoulder and says softly, “At least I can spare you pain by doing this.” She groans as the wind began to pick up and blew dirt into her wound. She says, “I will be glad if your master kills me. Then my pain will end.” She closes her eyes to rest a little.

[Chaosmazer]

"I doubt that the blood for the ritual is exactly for drinking... not without special preparations..." he said. He listened to her grim outlook. "I... I do appreciate that at least... if... I didn't come back with anyone today... I would have probably died..." he said. "If... he takes a liking to you... there is a possibility that he could turn you." he said. "That is... if you wanted to become a vampyre. He has been looking for someone... he has many servants but no one else..." he said. "He is fairly handsome for his age but... well... he is often cruel..." he said. "Just... stay on his good side... hopefully you will get out of this alive... wishing for death isn't any good..." he said giving her a little smile.

[Guest]

Rose looks at him and sighs unhappily with her life and everything in it. She says, “No one has ever taken a liking to me. Your master will be no different.” She then closes her eyes again as the pain bothers her again. She tenses up some as they got to the castle. She says, “Your master knows how to keep things creepy.” She covers her nose as a strange smell went into her nose and made her want to puke. She unknowing cuddles into him as the smell grows stronger.

[Chaosmazer]

Feeling her unknowing cuddle a bit more into her fur, he looked down at her. He could tell it would hurt a bit, with her leg, but he had plans to fix it. "Yeah... I couldn't tell you how many live in this place..." he said. "It ain't much, but it's home..." he said. "We can fix up your leg after I show you to master... he... has an actual name, I'm just not allowed to speak it..." he said. "Only master sadly..." Gabriel said. "Rose, you seem like a nice type of person... perhaps things will get better once this is all said and done..." he said.

[Guest]

Rose looks at Gabriel and says, “Maybe, but we should get inside before your master gets angry or it starts to rain.” She could smell the moisture in the air and she knew vampires do not like the smell of wet dog. She jumps when the doors slowly creep open to let them inside the castle. She covers her nose some as the scent grew even stronger. She ends up fainting in his arms because the scent is too strong for her to handle. She needs time to slowly adjust to the scent.

[Chaosmazer]

Having grown used to the smell of the castle, he didn't know what happened at first when Rose passed out in his arms. He looked down at her curiously for a moment before it hit him... the smell... he would be sure to put some candles in her room, and some incense to help with the smell.

"Master... I found someone!" he said bringing her into the main hall. His master appeared quickly. The smell of her blood made him look down at her questioning. "The blood might... not be ideal... but she will have to do, after the ceremony, her blood will be as good as any..." he said. "You may take her too her room Gabriel. Once she is secured, you may do what you wish, you earned some leisure for a while." his master said. Gabriel nodded... he couldn't remember the last time he had time that he could choose how to spend. He took her to her room during her stay. It was a fairly dark room, but it had a large bed and a beautiful view of the land around them. He laid her down on the bed while he fetched some incense and lit some candles. Making the room smell a bit better. He sat on the floor, waiting for her to wake... he wanted to find a bit more about this girl.

[Guest]

Rose wakes up a few hours later and sniff the room she was in. Her leg was not hurting as bed now and the smell did not bother her as bed. She looks around and spots Gabriel on the floor just watching her. She asks feeling out of place, “How long have I been out?” She sits up on the bed more properly and waits for him to give her an answer.

[Chaosmazer]

"A few hours..." he said looking to her. "Sorry... I was given the rest of the day to myself... I... just wanted to know more about you." he said. "However, while you were out, I managed to bandage up your leg." he said. "I thought of it not too long ago. Your blood still smells odd to me." Gabriel stood up. "But I lit some candles in her, giving it a bit of light, and the incense should help the smell... I think that is what caused you to pass out..." he said.

[Guest]

Rose looks at him and says, “Thank you for fixing my leg and making the scent more bearable. It was so strong that it overwhelmed me.” She looks at him a moment and then lays back on the bed. She asks, “What do you want to know about me?” She looks at the ceiling sadly and asks, “What did your master think of me?” She sat back up and looked at him a moment. Her eyes cold for a moment as she shivered again.

[Chaosmazer]

"Master said that you would do fine..." he said sitting down, he looked to the ground. "He said your blood was odd... but other than that, it should work." he said. His tail wagged somewhat happily, he was glad to have someone near to talk to. He caught himself though. "I... my form, this form... it doesn't scare you does it?" he asked. "I... I can change if you want me to." he offered. "I'm not sure though what I want to ask. I guess... what was it like where you lived exactly? I mean... besides what happened, it couldn't have been terrible." he said.

[Guest]

Rose says, “No your form does not bother me. You got to remember I am use to seeing my brothers this way.” She did not like talking about her past with other people. She says, “I use to live in a mansion with my parents and nine brothers. I was the cherish only daughter of the Ishtar werewolf clan. Anything I wanted, I would get. However I did not turn selfish like my brothers. My mother use to call me Gifted Angel. She said I was lucky to be born a human with all the abilities of a werewolf. I always use to tell her the only thing I was gifted with was her and my father.”

[Chaosmazer]

"Your parents sound kind." he said. "And that's alright... I have a human form... but I'm more comfortable in this form at times." he said. "You are... well... lucky to have parents like them." he said standing up and stretching, he had been sitting still for too long. "But... I take it you don't like your siblings that much?" he asked.
