Come out, come out... (The Rumble!)

[xavier]

Suddenly, Xavier picked up a scent in the midst of his blood-bath. However, caught up is sniffing it out, he caught a swift uppercut it his jaw as he stumbled back again. He wanted to react, but his attention was now solely focused on this New male vampire that entered the playing ring.

Another friend to come and join the fun I'm guessing? Are you on the same side of the Protect the Princess groupies? or are you a Real Blood-Drinker, Y'know Ruthless, Cunning, Deceptive, that kind of thing?

He said with his eyes locked onto Massimo. Xavier licked the tangy,salty blood off of his glossy black nails and from around his face, Just when it was getting good, another had to come and spoil the fun, that is if he was here fighting in Shaden's favor.

[massimo]

Massimo smirked slightly "Princess groupies?"He questioned confused, he looked at Shaden and then back to the male "I'm not sure what your talking about. I'm here to stop Shaden from being killed because of his foolish quick tempered attitude." He said still calm, "I'm not here to fight you. But since you asked, I guess I'm a Real Blood-Drinker." He wasn't sure why the man asked but he wasn't just not going to answer.

Massimo saw the black nails and smiled "The Black Nail Coven, huh? Nice." He turned to Shaden "You really are insane aren't you?" He shook his head and then looked back to Xavier, "By the way I'm Massimo, but I'd rather you called me Max." He was staring at his nails for awhile before he finally looked up into the mans face.

[Shaden Grace]

Shaden stayed silent, keeping his head down. Wondering why he Massimo was here. He was listening to them talk but he didn't add any of his own comments. No way was he going to make Max made. Blood dripped from his face as he looked down at the ground, slowly moving away from both of them. Taking small step back. This was bad. Really bad. He wasn't sure if Massimo was going to fight with Xavier or if he was lying about that. He had a small hope that Massimo would help him out, but he didn't think so. Shaden took another step back. Maybe if he stayed quiet they wouldn't notice.

[xavier]

A curious look painted onto his face like a canvas. It was obvious that this Massimo guy knew probably about as much about The Black Nail Coven as Aubrey did. His eyes shifted into Shaden's direction as he stiffened himself up rather quickly and forced his eyes to the ground. It was obvious that this Massimo had some degree of respect in Shaden's mind.

Xavier Alex of The Black Nail Coven...

He said slightly tilting his head up, still in question and curiosity about Max's next moves. He wasn't sure where he stood but it was evident that he was oblivious to the 'protect the human pact' that the others had made earlier and that was good for Xavier in a way...

[massimo]

Massimo quickly turned his head to Shaden, who was trying to quietly move away. He smirked "Shaden your not going anywhere. It would be best if you stay where you are." He said giving him a sinful look and then turned once more to Xavier, "Thats very interesting. And here I thought they were gone. I'm glad to know there are a few of you still around Xavier. I always did have the greatest respect for them." He sighed and made a quick glance to Shaden. "I was wondering what it would take for you to allow me to leave here with Shaden." He said still calm, "Alive." He added with a smile. Now he simply stood there watching both Xavier and Shaden, his eyes moving from one to the other.

[Shaden Grace]

Shaden froze and looked up at Massimo and smiled playfully "I wasn't going anywhere sweetheart. I was just giving you your space." He said standing up straight again and once more, he starting wiping blood by now though the blood flow was pretty much done. He looked at Xavier "Yeah, lovely, how about we do this some other time." He said, but then he stepped a little closer back to Max. He wasn't sure what Xavier was going to say to Max's question. Although he didn't like where this was head because if he had to pay him that would cost Shaden a lot. Maybe his life. Massimo would more then gladly pay for him just to kill Shaden himself. It made Shaden tense, and he watched Max.

[xavier]

Gentlemen this obstacle can be solved rather quickly

Xavier said warmly slightly spreading his hands apart while a sinister smirk stretched across his lips. Oh, how he wanted to kill Shaden. Just the fun of ripping him open and decorating the forest with his insides...A sinister fantasy to say the least. However there was one other thing on his mind, something that involved far less bloodshed and trouble.

All I ask for is an undisturbed retrieval of Aubrey and a peaceful exit. However, a little bit of resistance would be fun.

He said jokingly while looking deadly at Shaden, he wanted to see how his face turned when he voiced his stipulations. He needed Aubrey, not only did he want to see her turned but he wanted to see her expression of failure for knowing that The Black Nail Coven finally found her.

[massimo]

Massimo looked at Xavier oddly and then he chuckled slightly, "This is over a human?" He shook his head. That was just stupid. One stupid little human. After a few moments thought he nodded "Sure, I'll get her for you. If you really want me to. Though I'd rather not waste my time and simply pay you but... whatever." He shrugged and then looked at Shaden. "You were fighting him because of a human? I'm surprised Shaden. I thought you would have learned by now that they don't matter." He really was surprised. Never before had Massimo seen Shaden fighting over a human. A female vampire. Yes. But never a human female. He ran a hand through his hair, "Shaden I don't want you trying to protect the girl anymore." He looked at Xavier and smiled "Is she really that important?" He questioned.

[Shaden Grace]

Shaden stood there shocked for a second before he turned away and tried to keep control. But it wasn't working very well. And Massimo made it worse by telling him he couldn't protect her anymore. Well Shaden would like to see Massimo try to stop him. He turned around really quick and hit Xavier in the face. Then he stepped back away from Massimo because he knew that Max would be really pissed off now.

"Massimo I can't let him take her. I just can't, and I don't care what you say or do." He said without looking at him. Instead he was looking at Xavier just waiting for him to react.

[xavier]

Xavier caught the swift blow in the far and grabbed the spot where he was hit. He snarled in anger and pulled out one of his .45 Handguns and aimed it directly at Shaden's head but was hesitant to shoot, he figured that this Massimo guy would punish him in more more tortuous ways than Xavier could at the moment so he momentarily stood down.

Seem's your still protecting the Princess...

He chuckled while keeping the gun pointed at Shaden's forehead. The human girl was much more important than everyone though. She would be the rebirth of The Black Nail Coven, she would be the first 2nd Generation breed to start. It was a blissful thought but this Vampire was the only thing that stood in the way. Xavier stood and waited for Max's reaction to Shaden's disobedience.

[massimo]

Massimo sighed and nodded at Xavier "Thanks for not shooting but really I wouldn't have mind too much if you had." He then turned to Shaden and calmly walked up to him, "My dear Shaden, I think your forgetting yourself." He said softly, almost sweetly. He reached up and lightly touched Shadens cheek. "I think its time to remind you how owns you." He said then made a swift move with his other hand and grabbed him by the throat, lifting him off the ground, "I told you enough was enough. I told you to give this up. You should have listen."

He let go of his throat and once Shaden's feet touched the ground again, Massimo drew out a silver blade and stabbed it through his chest. Not in his heart but pretty close. Then he twisted the blade a little and listened to Shaden scream of pain that was coming. After a few minutes he took it out and licked it clean before putting it away and stepping away. "Stay away from that human, Shaden."

[Shaden Grace]

Shaden screamed. He knew thats why Massimo wanted but he couldn't help it. It hurt. He would have rather been shot in the head. Once Max stepped away again, Shaden was on his knees on the ground holding his wound with his hand. "Damn it, Massimo. You really... didn't have to do that." He said breathing heavy and waited for the look that Xavier was going to have. He stayed there on the ground holding his chest, and watching the blood flow between his fingers. He was starting to feel a little weak, and that was most likely what Max wanted.

[xavier]

Xavier watched in satisfaction as Shaden crumbled to the ground in agony. He got a sick pleasure at him curling up on the ground like a sick animal and a smirk stretched across his face. Xavier pointed the .45 down at Shaden and fired rapidly, it coudlve ranged between 12-15 shots, he wasn't focused on the number just the sadistic pleasure of the bullets hitting the motionless body on the ground.

A maniacal cackle escaped his lips as he continued shooting until the magazine was empty. Once it was and expression of disappointment clouded onto his face. He actually thought about taking out the other gun and emptying that magazine as well but he was satisfied for now. Xavier placed the smoking weapon back into the Holster and cast one final glance at Shaden before giving his attention to Max.

I need her alive, all of it would be for nothing if she isn't alive. Once she's here we can both be on our separate ways, and I'll leave your little pet here alive to play with after 'm gone. Sounds reasonable to me..

[massimo]

Massimo was more then a little shocked as Xavier shot at Shaden until it was empty. He shot a deadly look at Xavier "That was unnecessary. Do you know how much of a pain its going to be to get him all the way back to New York." He said while he shook his head. Of course it was Shadens own fault for not listening. He groaned at the thought. Plus he would have to get him back to the hotel before the sun came up. He leaned down to Shaden and made sure he was still alive. Once he knew he was, Massimo stood up again.

"Fine. But if you go back on your word and kill Shaden, I'll make sure you have a far worse fate. I may not be strong enough to kill you but I know a few people who are. Believe me, I don't lie and I don't play around." He said finally looking away from Shaden and facing him. Still not understanding why he wanted the girl but then it wasn't his business and he really didn't care about the answer anyway.
He didn't care about humans. Never had. Once he was turned, he no longer had anything to do with them except for blood.
"Lets just get this over with shall we?" He said in an almost bored voice.

[Shaden Grace]

Shaden screamed again. God he didn't do anything that bad! His breathing was short, as he tried to stay awake. His mind kept telling him he needed to get up. That he needed to help Aubrey but his body just wouldn't move. He failed. He couldn't protect her. He only hoped she was far away from here and safe. He could only hope that these two couldn't find her until tomorrow and by then he would be well enough to fight again. But he wasn't that lucky. Shaden closed his eyes. He had to stay awake. He had to.

He opened his mouth to beg Massimo not to go after her but found no words would come out. He was just to weak. And that only made him even more pissed and then he was pissed because he could do anything about it. With some effort he opened his eyes again.
