Hunter or Hunted? (Lunar & Guardian)

Talia was just watching him for a moment in time before she was getting up to look at some of the stuff in the office.
 
A few months had gone by since everything had happened - and the two huntresses had arrived. Alric and Talia had officially announced their marriage to the kingdom - and it had been insisted that a ball be held as a celebration. During the past few months Raphaelle had gotten more intimate with Carlos while Rose and Sebastian had developed a relationship as well. Everything had seemed calm as could be, although everything seemed to change the night of the ball. Everybody was having a great time celebrating the celebration of their queen getting engaged. There was dancing, food, and just lively conversation amongst everything. There was nothing that could ruin the night... or so they thought.

Everything took a turn for the worse when midnight struck as everybody was gathering outside to light off some fireworks. This is when the hunters decided that they were going to strike, and Raphaelle was quick to start giving orders - there being the assumption that they were there for the vampires, in particular the royals. How wrong she was... how wrong Rose was. No it appeared that their targets were that of the two huntresses that were there. Traitors that had turned against the hunters - yet it hadn't been unforeseen with the path that the hunters had gone down.

Raphaelle was on the move to get to Carlos while she was sure that Rose was on the move to get to Sebastian, the queen was already being escorted away to safety. Yet Raphaelle wasn't able to get to Carlos when she was struck - and it was Carlos that would see her being struck. A sword straight through her back, all the way through - dangerously close to nicking vital organs. The female hadn't even gotten a chance to react at all, a cry barely escaping her lips as the sword was ripped out and already everything seemed to starting to go black as she collapsed to the ground. The wound was heavily bleeding already and it was pretty obvious that she was in a dangerous situation at that point - a few of the vampires closest to her seeming to react to try and slow the bleeding.

Rose would find the same exact thing happening to her - although it appeared that somebody had known her secret that she was a dhampir, the blade that was piercing her being silvered. The moment she was going down some of the closest vampires were on the move to try and stop the bleeding as much as they could.

Sebastian could only watch in horror as Rose was struck and he was bolting forward, a few of the guards following after him so get the hunters away from where Rose had fallen. He could see that something had gotten Carlos to react as well, and his eyes were flickering around attempting to find his sister. They eventually fell on her and he saw that she was safely with Alric and a few of the other royal guards, who seemed to be covering her. Yet none of the hunters seemed to make a move towards the royals at all - no now that both Rose and Raphaelle were downed they seemed to be leaving.
 
Rose coughed in pain with blood spilling out of her mouth. "worry about the queen leave me" Rose wasn't aware as of yet that Raphaelle had fallen as well and she was more worried about Talia and Alric at that time. Rose then looked to Sebastian and gave him a small smile she could already feel herself starting to heal it was slow and she was weak very very weak.

Carlos raced to Raphaelle and grabbed her his hand going to her throat lightly "damn it hold on Ill get you to the medical wing they will be able to help you" Carlos was more then a little worried and he didn't want to lose her
 
Sebastian was just looking towards Rose for a moment in time before he was tending to her wound then spoke, "The queen is safe it seems that... yourself and Raph were the targets." No he never seemed to realize that he had told her that Raphaelle had fallen. With that he was shouting at a few of the others to grab a stretcher of some sort so that they could move her more easily.

Raphaelle was barely with it at that point in time - wavering in and out of the darkness. It wasn't long though before she seemed to be coughing up some blood - her breathing was becoming far more erratic but it was also beginning to get weaker. Already a few medics were coming over to get her loaded onto a stretcher as well, a makeshift wrap being placed around her back and chest where the sword had gone through. Something to help slow the bleeding as much as possible at that point in time.

Talia was just standing close to Alric although she had her hands to her mouth in horror at what had just happened. While she wanted to go forward she was being stopped by one of the other guards who was telling her to remain with them, until they made sure that it was safe. Where they were at it would be difficult for archers to get at them unless they were aiming from in front of them, and they would see it coming.
 
Rose stood and stumbled over to her knocking people out of the way as she did. When rose looked her over and listened she could tell they would lose her. Rose then looked to Carlos and spoke "you need to turn her she will die if you don't" Rose listened as Carlos fought with her but she insisted and then snapped at him to man up and use his head. Rose ended up passing out before they could finish their fight but she hoped that he listened and she didn't lose her sister.

Carlos growled but moved to do as Rose had asked. Carlos bit in to his own wrist and then pressed his wrist to her lips and watched as the blood flowed in to her starting the turning process.
 
Sebastian was just following after her and was catching her before she could collapse to the ground fully, his eyes just looking towards his brother at that point in time. He just watched as his brother was biting his own wrist and pressing his bleeding wrist to Raphaelle's lips - although it didn't see like the young woman was responding to it at all. Sure it was getting into her mouth but who knew if she was actually swallowing any of it. With that he was having Rose taken back to the medical center before he was looking towards where Talia was standing. She was uninjured but seemed to be in a major state of shock at everything that had happened. It wasn't long before Talia just seemed to be sinking down to her knees.
 
Carlos made sure that blood got in to her system going as far and adding some to her open wound taking care with his he did so. once he was sure his blood had entered her system he got her settled on to a stretcher so that she could be taken out of there

Alric caught Talia and then picked her up before muttering they needed to leave. "come on my love its time for us to get out of here your brothers will tend to the girls" Alric then moved keeping his back to the wall while heading for a door this would give the guards a better chance of keeping them safe.
 
After a bit it did seem like Raphaelle was responding to his wrist at her lips, the blood slowly entering her system. He would be able to feeling her weakly drinking from his wrist - but it still wasn't enough. The woman hadn't consumed enough blood to be changed at that point - but it was at least something that would help keep her a little more stable until they got to the infirmary.

Talia was just wrapping her arms around his neck and was mumbling that she was fine, that she could walk. That was a lie though... her legs felt like jello.
 
"my dear I know if I were to set you down you would sink to the floor" Alric smiled at her lightly

Carlos didn't let her be moved till enough blood had entered her system as he knew full well that she would need the turn to survive. Rose had been right on that and as much as he hated it he knew it needed to be done he just hoped she didn't hate him for it
 
"Lord Carlos. We can do more in the infirmary. It would be best to get her out from the open." a medic spoke after a moment in time. No it would be best that they tend to the injury that was there - get it cleaned out. It wasn't going to go over well if she changed and there was something in the wound - it would heal over and they would have to do surgery to remove it again.

Talia was just looking at him for a moment before she was just resting her head on his chest. A few of the guards were following after them as they were leaving.
 
Carlos nodded his head and then removed his wrist and let them take her to the infirmary. Carlos looked at his brother before speaking "I will wipe them out brother they messed with us for the last time"
 
Raphaelle was taken to the infirmary by the medics and once there they were instantly taking to tending to her wound so that they could get it cleaned. No she would require more blood for the change still - but she was definitely at that weak enough stage where the change would be far easier. Sebastian was looking over for a moment before he spoke, "We will take care of that but for now... go and tend to Raphaelle. She isn't out of the woods yet and you know it." No there was still far more to be done - and there was no promises that she would survive the change even.
 
"check on rose who knows what they stabbed her with or how it will affect her" Carlos then headed off waiting to be told if he could keep giving her blood to change her as that was the only sure way to safe her if she survived the turn that was. Carlos hoped that she would as he woof feel horrid if she died because of him.
 
Sebastian was just nodding his head before he spoke, "I already planned on it." With that he was heading off so that he could check up on Rose and get any new information on how she was doing. As soon as Carlos was coming into the room a doctor was just giving him details on how injured the woman was - how the sword had just barely avoided vital organs but the bleeding was still quite severe. "She has lost quite a bit of blood but... if you are truly wanting to change her then that is a good thing. She is in a critical condition of blood loss but this will be good for the change. At least if she survives it." The doctor was telling Carlos and letting him in to where Raphaelle was at - the young woman had a few ivs in her arms to help mostly with the pain at that point in time. While they had wanted to put a tube to help with her breathing, which was obviously labored and a struggle.... they knew that it would have been pointless.
 
Carlos walked to her and once more bit in to who wrist before pressing it to her mouth allowing the blood to flow in to her.

the doctors would still be working on Rose as they could see black on her wound which had warned them of silver being present. the doctors were working fast to get the dead and dying tissue cut away
 
It took a moment for Raphaelle to respond to the wrist pressed to her lips, but soon enough she was drinking. At first it was weakly but that seemed to change - pretty normal as the blood would help the body recover some. It did come to the point where it was enough that she seemed to be rousing some and going to push his hand away weakly. This was also very normal - yet this is where things started to get a little more tricky. She would want to push him away but in order for him to change her he would have to more or less force her to keep drinking.

Sebastian was coming into the room where Rose was at before he was quesioning how he could assist.
 
the doctor looked at him "she needs blood but none of us know what type she is the damage was caused by a sliver blade so the area of the wounds is dying from its effects thankfully none of her major organs were his and we were able to flush it out."

Carlos forced her to keep drinking his fear hand stopping her form pushing him away not that she was very strong to start with
 
Sebastian was just frowning a bit before he spoke, "I know that there was no negative effects from when Talia gave her blood." No it would perhaps be best to have Talia doing it - just because of that fact. While Sebastian wanted to help - sadly he wasn't even really sure his own blood type. But the half of her that would be affected if it was the wrong type was that human side. Usually vampires didn't care at all - their blood mind as well be universal.

Raphaelle did try to push him away although to no prevail at all. She didn't have the strength to even push him away although it wasn't long before she seemed to just stop drinking from him, and it was almost as though she had blacked out. His blood was working its way through her system - the first thing it would start doing was healing up her injuries before the change would come into play. But it was definitely going to be a rough couple of days.
 
Carlos waited till he was sure the turn had started and then he withdrew his arm and then ordered for her to be tied down

the doctor nodded and sent a nurse to see if she would help the girl once more before muttering about half breeds making a mess of things. this particular doctor didnt like half breeds and while he would tend to her as he should because of her connection to the prince he would do his best to avoid her as well
 
Sebastian was just listening to the orders although he did hear what the man was mumbling under his breath. Well it seemed that there was a conflict of interest but it was something that could be dealt with in the end. It wasn't long before a nurse was arriving where Talia and Alric was, bowing to them before she spoke, "I apologize for the interruption." the nurse spoke before she was explaining that help was needed. This had Talia looking for a moment then she was nodding her head that she would assist.

This had the doctors getting the safety restraints that had been designed for this purpose. A soft fabric on the inside of the cuff so that they couldn't hurt themselves but it was strong enough that even after the change they couldn't get free as easily. At the time it wasn't needed but that could change at any point - once the body had stabilized enough.
 
the doctor went back to work and did his job properly but it was easy to see he wasn't as gentle as the others were causing her more pain in the process.

Alric set Talia down and then looked at her "lets get moving the sooner you can heal her the better off we are right now we are with out two of our best guards"
 
Talia was just looking before she was nodding and was heading off towards the infirmary. She was asking Alric to go and check on how Carlos and Raphaelle were doing while she was tending to Rose. She was walking into the room and going over towards where Rose was, instantly noticing the doctor's actions as she walked in. "Doctor. I do so hope that you aren't intentionally causing a patient pain." she cleared her throat, which had the others in the room looking over to see that she was actually there.
 
the doctor jumped and ended up cutting Rose which had the woman flinching even while out of it. this had another doctor taking the scalpel away from him so that she didn't end up more injured then she already was
