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

[Shaden Grace]

By now Shaden had enough strength to sit up and lean on his elbows, he looked at Aubrey but then turned away. He had failed. But only because Massimo showed up. At that thought, he turned his cold stare to Massimo. Oh how he hated him. Now more then ever before. He tried to stand up, and fail, falling back down. Shaden stared down at his chest, covered with his blood. He felt weak, he needed blood soon.

Again he tried to stand up and this time he was able to, though his legs kept wanting to give out.

Colette felt like she was on a ship in a hurricane; the ground was rocking and swaying beneath her as waves of pain washed overboard and racked her body one after another. Where she was, what she was doing or how long she'd been laying there, she couldn't say. And lord almighty did she have a headache! Colette reached up to rub her forehead, and her eyes shot open when her fingertips brushed metal.

Oh. My. GOD.

She'd been shot. In the head!! Her first response was to laugh hysterically, then once that was done Colette groaned as she pulled herself to a sitting position and tried not to vomit. There was a sickening pop! as she pulled the bullet out of her skull, blood rushing from the wound and streaming down her face in rivulets.

She angrily tossed the bullet aside as the evening's events came back to her in a flood, and she climbed to her feet as best she could. Ye gods, she wanted OFF this ride-- she felt like she was trying to traverse a Tilt-a-Whirl.

Colette headed in the direction Aubrey's scent was coming from, and stopped dead when she saw the last thing she had hoped for-- Xavier had her, and Shaden was barely holding himself up. Even the female vampire was looking worse for wear-- she'd been shot too it seemed. A lot.

Being impulsive now would have been too idiotic even for Colette, and so she held her breath and waited to see what happened next; ready to react as best as her fading strength would allow.

[spades]

October was standing near the other female vampire, feeling a bit envious, she'd been able to get the bullet from her head wound while October's bullet was deep and still lodged, unable to heal with it still there she was light headed and having a hard time staying on her feet.

She was so done with fighting... well okay it was a lie even as it budded in her mind. She wanted the human girl, her blood, October was starving, she looked down at her stomach, still not healed October wished she'd fed recently. She could do nothing to stop the horrible kick Black Nails delivered to the human girl.

October didn't even realize a growl had stirred in the back of her throat, she bared her fangs. Why the hell am I still trying to defend her? She caught herself wondering, which was when it hit her, and she felt stupid. The girl looked quite a bit like her first and only fledgling. The one October hadn't been able to protect and had been burnt to death.

"Why the hell do you want her, Black Nail Coven, as far as I know, never had much interest for Humans other than food." October was stalling, hoping someone would/could do something. She was out of fight, she could hardly keep standing. "She's hardly a snack, why go through the trouble, just leave her here and be gone."

[aubrey]

Aubrey tried to cough. A low gurgle accompanied by blood was all that managed to come out. She had thought that she was in pain before, but it had been nothing compared to this. Aubrey struggled against Xaviers grip. She couldn't let this new vampire kill Shaden. A muffled whimper escaped her bloody lips. She misread Shaden's shame. She thought he was allowing them to take her. She fell limp in Xaviers grasp.

Aubrey was force to meet his eyes. She didn't struggle. She allowed herself to be absorbed. The pain slowly faded as he whispered in her ear. It was an illusion, a mind trick, but the pain was temporarily gone and she breathed a sigh a release.

Colette was standing by, she could feel her. That was something that not everyone new. When a vampire be-spells a human, they pick up on the vampires ability to sense what is going on around them. She could feel Colette, and she was weak. She could hear October speaking but the word were fumbled. She looked back into Xaviers eyes.

"I'll go with you, but don't hurt them anymore." She had to give in, it was the only way to protect the people who had tried to protect her. She had no idea what she was in for. He had promised her pleasantness until they reached their destination. Who knew what she was in for after that. God forgive me.

[xavier]

Xavier smiled at the other female vampire that seemed to be too hungry to even speak. It would be a shame to kill a vampire while they were starving so he simply looked at her with a warm smile and shook his head pleasantly.

Please don't worry yourself with affair's of the Black Nail Coven, beautiful. Don't worry, I wont kill you, so you should be running off to find food now. It's in your best interest.

He said his voice getting sterner with every word. A warm smile had been directed at the two of them as he picked Aubrey up into his arms and carried her away, ignoring whatever the others had to say about it, she was his now..

[vagus32000]

Adam was pissed, Colette had been hurt and his charge had been taken all because he was too weak to stop it.
It's not over yet, he thought standing up ignoring the pain from his wounds. Round two begins now. With a roar he ran after the corpse and soon found him with the nail guy along with his friends. They seemed defeated, ready to give up. That made him even madder. Leaping into the air he performed the same attack that had worked on the other corpse only with a twist. Instead of going for the neck Adam bit into his shoulder and tore a chunk out of it. Leaping off of him Adam turned to his earlier opponent and attacked him. Three swipes from his claws left their marks upon the corpse's chest. He then grabbed the girl and ran to stand with his friends. Releasing her he turned to his prey and roared. It was a challenge to the corpses, he dared them to attack him again. To try and take the girl. He didn't know if he'd win but one thing was certain, the corpses wouldn't live to tell the tale.

[xavier]

Xavier sighed in frustration. It seemed that the werewolf didn't get it yet. Dogs never did. Xavier politely placed Aubrey onto the floor and pulled out the fully loaded .45 caliber handgun. Xavier's sharp blue eyes gave her a look that said it all. "If you move, I will shoot you." Is what they were telling her, almost telepathically speaking to her. He then returned his attention to the drooling werewolf, who seemed to have no sense still attacking after the deed was done.

Dogs never get it..

Xavier aimed the pistol directly at the werewolves back that seemed to be preoccupied with attacking another vampire and quickly fired two rounds onto its back, with his movements, he then fired another 3 shots into his stomach and a single in his right shoulder. Hopefully it would be enough to stop him from getting up again and his pin point accuracy made sure that all of the shots that he fired weren't hitting Vital areas. Xavier wanted the dog to live to tell the tale of The Black Nail Coven.

After the shots were fired, he looked cunningly at the werewolf, daring him to even make a single muscle jump and Xavier would be all over him like a wild, rabid animal. He had had enough, play time was over and he had his fun with all of the Vampires and Werewolves here, but now he had what he wanted and it was time to leave and this "Dog' was standing in the way. Now, it was over.

[vagus32000]

Adam felt the shots tear into him but to no avail. He was beyond pain now, the adrenaline rush and the sheer will to prevail dulled it into oblivion. Turning to the corpse that shot him he growled and attacked. In a flash he was upon him, whatever shots the corpse had got off went unheeded. With his left hand he slashed at the corpses stomach. He followed it up with another slash, this time to the face.
Let's see how you like that, he thought. If the vampire still wanted to fight he'd gladly decorate the ground with his pieces.

[xavier]

The drooling mindless animal had no idea what he was in for. If he didn't feel pain, it wouldn't matter. Pain didn't equal death. After the quick slash to the stomach, Xavier grabbed the werewolf by the throat and dug deep into its hairy flesh. Everyone though the nails were just a Nail Polished fashion trend, they were far from right. The venom of the Black Nail Coven turned the nail night black, and with a single touch of these nails, The memory of The Black Nail Coven would remain on the victims mind for eternity. It wasn't lethal in a sense, but the constant darkness clouding there mind would drive most insane, or to Suicide.

With ease, he pushed the drooling beast off of his body, Keeping a huge chunk of neck flesh in his palm. Xavier sliced at the Werewolf's belly upward in a gutting motion. Once he got to the top, he forcefully kicked the Werewolf away from him, and shot a joking look in his direction, Xavier was just playing with this animal, he didn't dare to take his fighting past anything but humor.

Now, if your done getting your ass kicked, I'll pleasantly be on my way...

He said walking back over to Aubrey. Xavier lightly picked her up once more and then ran off into the night, he ran so fast that everything around him was nothing more than a motion blur. In seconds, he was already too far for the Werewolves to pick up his scent, he really didn't like running from battle, but he was done, He had got what he wanted.

[vagus32000]

Adam grabbed the wound in his neck and glared as the corpse ran off with the girl. He had to follow him, had to get her back, but the throat wound was a problem.
That and the bullets, he thought. Then he remembered the OTHER corpse. Turning to face him Adam got an idea. He'd make the corpse tell him where the gay corpse went. Then he'd go after him and kill him. That sounds like a plan, he thought grinning ear to ear.
