Spoils of War [Rayn_Chain]

[8Evolution8]

"Fire!" Shouted a large man which sent the twenty catapults flying towards the large walled castle. The boulders flew through the air only to smash against the structure causing pierces to fall away once more from the impact. A grin came across the man's face at the sight. It was like he could feel his victory was at hand. "One more everything is ours!" This battle seemed one sided. The enemy's soldier's were being slaughtered on the field and their walls were crumbling piece by piece from the power of their machines. Quickly the men ran here and there trying to obey their lord by reloading their weapons as fast as they could.

Why were they being attacked? For nothing maybe, for some childish human reason that escaped most? For the ability to boast? Sadly these weren't the thoughts of the five figures stepping out from the cover of the forest. They were carried towards the commander on their steed with little thoughts to the soldiers running all over the place. "Don't forget our deal, Commander." Came the voice of a man being flanked by the other four horseman.

The large man snaps his head around to see the warriors that were suppose to aid him. "First pick of the soils. I know, I know." The man said like he was talking to some nagging child. This only angered one of the horseman but he kept his calm once seeing the smile on their leader's face. "Watch your tone, Commander. Victory is a very elusive mistress." The man said as he pulled on the reins to his horse to lead his four men back into the forest where they came. "Fucking freaks! They won't get a gotdamn thing. They haven't lifted a finger, my soldiers done everything!" Words that didn't escape the ears of the five warriors sent.

"That monkey!" Snapped one of the men as he motioned to leap from his horse, to teach the man as lesson. He was stopped as he saw his leader climbing down from his horse. "Prince Francis?" One of them asked as they saw the man removing his cloak to reveal the pitch black light armor he was wearing. "My father has left for the meeting of the elders?" He asked while fixing the metal claws on his left hand. "Yes, M'lord." Replied a man that only made him grin appear on the blond's face, a look that was infectious. "So this has now become my matter." For helping they were promised all lands surrounded this place, but his eyes were bigger than that.

"The humans betrayed us, we must defend our fallen brethren." Francis openly lied which was happily accepted by all those around. Suddenly pairs of red eyes seen to appear within the forest which only made it clear to him. They were all happy with this ruling. "Kill everyone!" About a hundred vampires spilled from the treeline with their weapons drawn. "Bout time!" The human commander said only to add. "Figured they show up at the last sec-" Horror overtook the man's face as he witnessed what was happening. They had turned on them, they were attacking his men.

The man wondered why they were moving past him though and when he turned around, he knew why. "You are not worthy of a Why." And with that, Francis allowed his claws to rip through the neck of the previously allies neck, snatching his head off and tossing it aside. Francis lifted his gaze to watch his warriors, creatures of the night that moved along the field like a plaque of death. For two weeks they have been going back and forth with the enemy's castle. In less than five minutes they had less than half of their numbers left. Soldiers running to the enemy they had just been attacking for safety, but even they were cut down.

Climbing back onto his black horse, Francis made his way down the battlefield towards the castle gates. It was only a matter of time before his men killed the attacking army and set their sights on the defending one.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

The defending kingdom were trying there best against the invading forces, but it was obvious that there was no way that they were going to win. This fight was one sided, there allies never showed to aid them and they were now under attack by vampires as well, which brought fear to everyone in the city, and as soon as word reached the palace everyone was brought into the throne room including the king and his four children, three sons and the youngest sibling, the kings only daughter Ember, a very beautiful girl, but unfortunately she was blinded when she was very little, so she was of no use, or so everyone except her mother thought, but her mother was long gone, dead from a disease long ago that took her from Ember. That was one of the last things she remembered seeing as well as her garden in the back of the palace, no one is sure how it happened, but when she woke one day she screamed and when her maids entered she was unable to see.

Ember was about five foot five, rather small compared to the others around her, but she was slender and looked almost like a little doll, so innocent, at least so she seemed. She had icy blue eyes and long dark red hair, which curled at the ends reaching down to her mid back. That day she wore a dark purple gown with a corset over the top, defining her curves and tone figure while the sides of the dress were slit up to her mid thigh, showing off her slender legs. She listened to everything that was going on, catching a lot of information in the chit chat around her, everyone was in a panic, her maids were circled around her and as usual one woman in particular stood next to the princess allowing her to place her hand on her shoulder to guide her around, even though the girl know how to use a walking stick both for searching things out and as a weapon if needed.

A messenger stormed in and began rattling on about what was happening, making it obvious to the princess that there was no escape out any of the hidden tunnels around the palace. So they were just to stay put as her father and brothers left to go try and help, and in Ember’s mind to die with honor and in hopes of protecting the rest of them. Ember remained still as they went out of the room, leaving the princess and different male and female servants who began crowding around into small groups, whispering and without a doubt looking to the girl, the maid at her side asking her if she would like to change into something different since she did not want harm to come to her mistress, and if hiding her identity would help she would do it, but Ember shook her head and gave a soft sigh, “No either way we look at it everyone in our kingdom will be taken as slaves, there is no point in hiding who I am.” She replied as she grasped the woman’s shoulder tightly, obviously fearful, but trying to be brave despite that there odds were against them for a long time now, her father and brothers no doubt killed by the vampires for trying to defend the ones in the palace.

Ember wondered what was going to happen, as did the others since there were horror stories about what there kind did to humans, and not a single bit of it seemed to appealing to her. She held the hands of a few of the maids who were in tears and at the sound of the catapult’s ammunition hitting the walls, destroying them with ease. It was only a matter of time before the doors to the room they were in were opened and they would have to face what was on the other side.

 

[8Evolution8]

Francis let his eyes move over the battlefield where he felt a sigh slip from him. He knew he would have hell to pay when his father returned in a months time. "The more you kill, the less you eat!" The old fool always use to shout, of course not in those words. But still in the same ball park. He was only a hundred or so years old, but still young compared to his father. Maybe this was the reason he didn't understand, he wasn't old enough to understand the importance.

But when was the last time they saw a human aiding a cow? Or standing beside one in battle? Yet he wanted him to disgrace his warriors by doing such. He'd rather slaughter them all and let them starve then sink to such a level. This was more fitting, watching as his men massacred the enemy forces and ascended the walls. They climbed with easy like they were merely running along the ground.

Soon spilling over the walls into the enemy's stronghold. The front gates rose shortly afterward. This allowed more to flood in through the gates, halting their escape.

"Daydreaming?" Came the voice of one of his closest members which brought a smile to his face. "The only daydreaming vampire is a burnt vampire." Francis said, an old joke between the two of them. "Our forces have breached the walls. The defending kingdom is all that is left." For a moment the prince paused to allow himself to sit in thought about these turn of events. He glanced to his friend once more. "Come, Mason, let us meet the royal family." With a nod of his head Mason gave his horse a light hit with the heels of his shoes to send the beast into a gallop. Francis followed close behind his guard as another came to join his descent towards and through the gates.

Inside screams echoed off the walls of the well built building. Panic and fear filled the air which was quickly followed by a hearty laugh that joined the screams. Soon the doors to the throne room would be burst open as the body of the king would be thrown into the room. "Raise old man. I haven't killed you yet!" Shouted the lone attacker as the slow steps of a hunter watching its prey brought him into the room. The front of his silver armor was splattered with blood as well as his sword. Some of that crimson liquid was on his cheek and by his lips, but his tongue soon reached out to lick that up.

"Don't tell me you're through old man!" The man shouted with another laugh only to swing his blade and cut down the two advancing guards. He barely gave them a glance as he did so. "Noah, leave the royal family for the Prince." A voice called out to him which caused Noah to turn his gaze towards his comrade. "How dare you, Aidan. Haven't you drank from two of his sons?!" Noah questioned but he got no reaction out of the hooded vampire, only those yellow eyes could be seen from the shadows the garment cast. "And you think to question me?" Aidan asked. It both of them turned to face one another, like they could care less that they were surrounded by enemies.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

Hearing the commotion outside one of the maids screamed next to her as the throne door were opened and sobs could be heard from the ones around her who were able to see what was happening, and if frightened her to think of what was going on, hearing the term ‘old man’ that was no doubt her father, who was in fact old, and had very little strength left to him, hell Ember could defeat her father in a fight with her cane in her left hand. But hearing the other she grasped hold of the wrist of the woman next to her and squeezed hard. “What is going on Emily?” She asked, knowing instantly who it was without having to ask.

Emily sighed, shaking her head, “I can’t say miss, I just…” The girl trailed off, and with a sigh she twist the girls wrist tightly, “Tell me now, what is happening, my brothers are dead? Two of them and now something else is happening to my father, so tell me now, what is going on.” She said softly in the girls ear before listening to the voices, counting how many there were in there and she found it very frightening, even one vampire frightened her, but four or five, that was just horrific.

And out of instinct the maids and others seemed to back the princess away and out of sight in hopes that she would not be harmed, all of them worried for the poor blind girl, which infuriated her since she knew against a human she could handle herself, but vampires were too fast for even her keen hearing to catch.

Ember soon found herself next to what use to be her mother’s chair, next to her father’s throne and used that to estimate where they had backed her up to, knowing that hiding her was pointless, but they would try. She grasped onto the arm of the queen’s chair to keep herself from loosing balance since everyone was backing away from the vampires now.

Finally Emily answered Ember in a squeak of fear, “Th-They are going to kill the king, he is on the ground in blood miss, but please don’t ask me any more.” She begged sadly, no doubt crying as she looked to Ember who was the only one not crying, knowing that this was going to happen and that much wore things were in store since at least her family would die quickly, and she was unsure of the fate of her friends around her, as well as herself.

 

[8Evolution8]

"Question you?" Noah said with a bit of surprise in his voice and humor since he thought it was funny. "I'll do more than question you. I'll kill you!" Snapped the white haired vampire as he leaps towards his cloaked comrade. Sadly he would come up short as Aidan easily stepped out of his path and looked to him with a disappointed look. "That is why you're lower than me." Aidan replied while doing his best to keep the fact he wanted to laugh from his voice. It was always fun messing with Noah since no other member of their group seemed to feed into it. Their lord joked with them sometimes but never as often as them and most the time he had to contain his imagine.

"You think you're better than me?!" Noah roared and was about to rush his comrade again before they both stopped. They caught the whispers in the air and remembered they weren't alone. The sounds and tones made a smile came to their faces as they turned towards the thrones. "You know, Aidan. I think there is still some royal blood in here." Noah said with a smile on his face while both walked closer with slow taunting steps. Suddenly the sound of the king screaming could be heard as Aidan stepped on him like he was part of the ground. "And.." Aidan began while pausing to sniff the air like it was actually needed. "I believe its a female."

"You know, they scream with the most beautiful sound when you poke them in the right spot." Noah said while grabbing his crotch to emphasize the action needed. This made the two of them laughed as they continued to advance on the small group. Within a flash they had closed the distance and with a swing of their blades, cut down the human barriers. "Fools, you can not deny us anything." Noah said with a grin before Aidan reached out to grab the princess by the neck, lifting her up off the ground with his strength. Both of them allowed their fangs to show like they wanted to let her know what type of fate she was in for. "Shoulder we drink her or fuck her to death?" Noah asked as he looked to his comrade with a wide grin across his face.

His hand had reached out to lift up that long dress so he could take a peak underneath of it. "How about both?" Aidan said with a grin before throwing the girl into the queen's throne as both of them stood before her. "Get her father, let his daughter's cries for help be the last sound he hears." Aidan said which only made Noah grin for the ingenious idea. He made his way towards the old man only to pause the moment he turned around and saw the three figures at the door. Instantly he dropped down to his left knee with his head bowed. "What the fuck is taking you so long?!" Roared Aidan only to glance over his shoulder when he felt the pressure in the room increased.

When he looked over his shoulder he saw no one though but the sight of Noah kneeling low to the ground. "Damn ass-" He said while turning around to see the cause for the pressure. The prince had managed to cross the room and place himself in the King's throne, directly next to female they captured. "Prince Francis." Aidan said as he stepped back to drop down onto his left knee. Ryan held the dying king over his shoulder while Mason stood at the door with a smirk on his face. "Strip and hang the royal family from the each tower. Remove their crown and rings." Francis ordered and it seemed with little care to the girl sitting next to him.

The four of them bowed their heads before making their way out of the throne room to leave their Prince to do as he please.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

Hearing the men arguing Ember wondered if they had forgotten about there current task, but when they stopped she felt her heart almost stop in her chest at the sound of them realizing that she was in there, and within seconds the others attempting to protect her were dead or dying on the floor. Taking a step back her gentle hands clenched her walking stick as she was grasped around the throat and instantly she let go of her walking stick trying to pry the vampire’s hand from her slender neck, not struggling since she knew she would only hurt herself, more than they already were going to. She paid no heed to there fangs, not knowing that they were baring them at her since she was unable to see it and her eyes remained straight forward, listening to them taunting her, obviously frightening her as they spoke.

Obviously she wanted neither since she was a virgin, and did not want them to drain her of her blood, both not sounding too great, but she really would have no choice as one of them lift her dress up, making her turn red in anger, something that she found very horrible of him to do, even if it didn’t matter. But when she heard them say to get her father she shook her head, giving a soft whimper against what he said, not really caring if they harmed her, but she did not want her father to hear or see it, and as she was thrown into the queens throne she caught herself on the edge falling to her knees before stopping to listen, everything went quiet and the men for some reason had stopped there torment of the blind princess.

As the man left she listened, only hearing four of them leave, meaning one was left, unless he had also left without her hearing it. Slowly she got to her knees and kept one hand on her mother’s chair while reaching out with her other hand to find her stick, in order to find her way around again, but it was farther than she thought and at the moment felt so helpless and vulnerable as she searched the floor for her walking stick. While searching she didn’t bother addressing the person who was also in the room since he would without a doubt make himself known to her, but hopefully not as rudely or frighteningly as the other two had, threatening to rape the blind girl, something in her mind told her that they didn’t even know that, since it was kept very quite and under wraps.

She remembered what the ‘prince’ as the men had called him said and wonder if he was going to do the same thing to her, stripped and hung. She wore nothing to show her royalty, not tiara, rings, bracelets, just one single necklace, her mothers, and not something that she was willing to part with and so as she searched her other hand kept a tight hold on the necklace, while concentrating on not breaking down into tears at what her fate might turn out to be. Now she was getting close to her cane, but her body was shaking from the encounter with the other two that it was making it hard for her to stay stead and not jumpy, "A-Are you going to do that to me as well?" She finally asked, her sweet innocent voice wavering, knowing the man was there from a strange feeling she was getting.

 

[8Evolution8]

Francis sat upon the throne of the king as if it was made for him, like it was meant for him to be placed on. This felt lesser though as if he was sitting in a child's place. It had nothing to do with the size or design of the chair, it was merely the weight it carried. It carried the weight of a human kingdom, something to him that felt like the pressure of a feather resting on him. He was meant for a throne with much more, a seat that commanded the respect of all. That was a given since he was the prince of all vampires and soon to be the king.

Until he returned home, this would have to do and something he would accept for now. So he slouched in his chair, leaning to the right so his chin could rest in the palm of his hand. He still wore the gauntlets with the sharp metal fingers, so it wasn't as comfortable as he would have hoped. His eyes following the woman as she moved around, reaching for something like she couldn't see. This was surely interesting in and of itself since he wasn't sure when the last time he encountered a flawed human. In his opinion they were all flawed but she was a bit more given her lack of vision.

For a minute Francis found himself wondering if she even knew he was in the room, whether she thought she was alone. The fact she couldn't see or hear him was something that helped encourage that thought. He found himself wondering what to do with her and whether or not he should kill off an entire royal family or not. Of course he knew who she was, she carried that air around her and not to mention her appearance. It was clear to anyone with half a brain that she was. His answer was soon given when she found her staff and addressed him.

Francis raised a single brow at those words only to struck his chin a bit in thought of this. "I haven't decided." He replied before shifting in his seat so he was leaning to the left now and place his cheek on his fist. His eyes were still locked onto her, scanning her form a bit as he thought about the different things he could have done to her. "I haven't even decided whether to kill everyone here, keep them as slaves, or drain their blood." He said to him like it was a boring task to waste his thoughts on. A grin spread across his face as he spoke. "Or maybe I should make your kingdom famous." He added while raising from the throne with his arms behind his back.

Casual soundless steps carried him down the isle a bit to allow him to pace about. "The Kingdom of Screams. Torture everyone here until their screams can still be heard at night for centuries to come." He said with a smile on his face s he stopped and turned his head to look at her, checking for her reaction to those words. His direction would change and carry him towards her where he could come to stand in front of her. "Or the Kingdom where the last living heir became the whore to vampires." He offered with a smile spreading across his face as he rose his right hand to place that cold metal against her cheek. With a slow motion he gently caressed her skin knowing that piece of armor covering his hand would take away any kindness or comfort this gesture could bring.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

For a while she noticed the room remained silent finally getting to her feet using her walking stick to support herself, still a little shaken by the treatment from the other two. But the sound of his voice made her very nervous, moving from one spot to another, never hearing any foot steps and of course she was unsure what to do, since there was nothing she could do. Listening to him she was not certain if him not knowing what to do with her was a good thing or bad thing. She certainly did not like the thought of being killed, knowing she would join her family, but she was very young, only about 19 and had never been touched by a man.

Hearing all the ideas she cringed at the sound of a few of them, killing everyone was not something that she would want for her people, enslavement would at least make sure that they would be alive, but to be slaves to these monsters, some would prefer death. And then being drained didn’t sound much different than death. When he spoke of making the kingdom famous she knew he had something horrible in mind and when she heard that idea she went even more pale than she already was, shaking her head slowly, “Please, don’t do that to these people, they have done nothing against you or your kind,” She pleaded softly trying to keep herself calm despite the situation, “Do you have no conscience, or mercy, please, don’t harm these people.” She asked, knowing she really had no opinion but she would try to do anything she could.

Knowing now that he was standing before her she stood her ground, her eyes still looking were they had been, making no real reaction to him coming toward her. “And it would be pointless to try and humiliate me, I can see nothing, so even if you were to use me in such a horrible way, I would have nothing to be ashamed of, if anything others would look at you as more of a monster than they already do, enslaving, and raping a blind princess, if anything people would hate you for it,” She shrugged, knowing he could do as he pleased to her, “Most people don’t even know that the king had a daughter, he was ashamed of a blind child, and I was my mother’s last.” She added softly.

Feeling the cold claw against her soft delicate skin she flinched slightly at the cold metal and lack of kindness from the hand, but she refrained from drawing back, not wanting to show how frightened she was even though he could probably already tell. Instead she lowered her head a little, showing that she knew he was in charge and her life was in his hands. Her body shook nervously as she stood there, unsure what to say or do since this had turned out to be a horrible day, and the end of her kingdom as she knew it.

 

[8Evolution8]

The fear that came off her was something he couldn't explain. He actually paused in his thoughts and movements to take in the smell, but it wasn't as strong as it should be. Something was giving her strength not to cower before him and when it hit him, he couldn't help but smile. "Yes, the mark of royal blood." He said as if he could care less about the words that spilled from her mouth. The pride that came with knowing you were the holder of a strong bloodline. That gave you the strength to endure a lot, though his kind had mastered overcoming such a thing.

Now he was stuck with a problem and one he wasn't sure whether he liked it or not. Should be break her or allow her to hold her head above the clouds like she was high and mighty. Of course there was no one higher than him, soon his father would realize that fact as well. "Nothing to me?" He asked with humor in his voice only to have it erupt into a laugh while lowering his head to shake it some. It was clear she hadn't dealt with their kind often enough, but they rarely messed with the humans. Unless they were taking blood cattle from their surrounding villages.

"So what have the trees done to your kind to be cut down? What has a cow down to be slaughter as it does?" He asked her to prove he didn't need a reason to do as he pleased to her kind, but it was cute though. Her not shot at him made him raise a brow, something he already knew would go unnoticed by her. That didn't stop him from doing so, it was natural reaction for him. "Just because I lack compassion for your people doesn't mean I'm emotionless." He corrected her while withdrawing his hand from her cheek and moving it behind his back to rest within the palm of his other hand. Suddenly she spoke words that peaked his interest, words that sounded almost like a challenge to him and he couldn't simply pass up. How could he when the possibility was so inviting.

"You think your lack of vision saves you from embarrassment? It seems I have much to teach you." He told her almost like she could hear the grin on his face. He yanks her towards him and onto his shoulder before his speed carried him out of the throne room and to the balcony that overlooked the courtyard. There hundreds of her people were, crying and screaming at the sight of the royal family. "Lets prove your theory." With that his inhuman straight completely ripped her dress and corset from her frame, tossing the cloth over the rail. His right hand would grasp onto the back of her neck and lift her up off her feet so she could be clearly seen. "Look at your princess, the last of the royal family!" The Vampire Prince roared to her subjects as he displayed her nude body to all that were gathered.

The gasp of shock could be heard while the vampires laughed and whistled at the nice display. "Princess!" A few screamed out when they noticed what was going on.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

“The trees have done nothing, but we plant more to replace the ones we cut down to keep the forests full. And as far as animals go I really don’t know, I suppose it is the same as killing people inferior to your own kind.” She snapped back. But she felt strange when he withdrew his hand, unsure of where he was until he spoke. Feeling him grasp her she knew he was going to test her thoughts and nodded, accidently dropping her staff again and this time she was too lost to figure out where she was from the speed that he moved with her. She finally figured out where she had been brought and gave a frightened whimper when she heard her people’s reaction.

When he commented about proving her theory she knew she would refuse to let it get to her, all she had to do was ignore the thought that there were others down there. The princess did flinch when he ripped away her clothing and instead of covering herself she reached behind her head for his hand trying to get him to release her while others watched her. She could almost feel the eyes on her as she struggled against his grip, hearing her people she easily ignored them, but she did say something to him, “I am nothing more than flesh and organs, nothing to be ashamed of.” She hissed before adding something, “But I see now that you are immature and emotionless, to do such a thing to me.” She said so only he could hear, making no attempt at speaking to anyone else.

Hearing them scream to her she shook her head, “Enough, don’t let this brutish and cruel display upset you,” She said, loud enough for them to hear as her hand reached and grasped his wrist, “Please stop this,” She said, mainly because she felt rather cold being naked, and even though she did not know it herself she did have a very beautiful body, which made her a little surprised that he would want others seeing her when he could just have her to himself.

 

[8Evolution8]

It was clear the two of them stood on different sides of the fence. One thought he was a monster and the other knew he was a monster without reason. When you lived as long as he did, he grew bored unless you did things to spicy the long years up. This was something most mortals allowed to slip their mind. Like living a normal peaceful life would last after a hundred years. Like you wouldn't grow bored rolling over and sitting there day after day while looking for something to do.

He didn't expect her to understand him nor did he care for her to do such a thing. He wasn't looking for her pity or friendship, so her opinion meant nothing at all to him. He was mildly impressed when she didn't seem to care about the way others saw her form. He knew she couldn't see the expressions on their face, but she should still know shame since that was the reason she wore clothes in the first place. "Of course, I am a giant child!" He told her like he was giving her a piece of information that would make their relationship simpler now. He then caught onto something that he almost like slip.

"To you?!" He said while laughing. "And who are you that you deserve special treatment? I know you don't think I should respect your standing in the eyes of other humans or maybe I should take pity because of your flaws?" He questioned her only to pull her from the edge and place her back up against the wall. "You have a strong mouth on you. Death is far too easy of a reward." He told her through his teeth before walking away from her and heading back into the castle. "M'lord?" Mason said as him and his other four guards made themselves known. Almost like they appeared out of the shadows.

"Ryan, get her a gown and shield her form. She is my personal toy." He commanded as the vampire nodded before walking to the balcony to grab the girl and place her over his shoulder. "The rest are to be slaves. The better ones are to be brought back to out land, the others should be sold, drain the useless ones." He ordered and the other three bowed their head before going to relay what was told to them to the rest of the kingdom.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

Hearing him she was rather worried, already taking his comment as something entirely different from just height, and that worried her greatly. She knew nothing about pleasing males and her new predicament frightened her, wondering what he had meant when he said that it was too easy of a reward, wondering what he was talking about, but knew she did not want to really know. She was merely glad to be set down and his grip on the back of her neck released.

Hearing him she looked lowered her head a little, “What does it matter if you have pity on me because I’m flawed, apart from my sight there is nothing wrong with me. If anything I see things more clearly than others in this kingdom.” She commented before feeling the wall of the palace against her back and heard the other men approach. She was relieved to hear him allowing her clothing since he could just have her naked, but she did not like being carried like a sack of potatoes.

Hearing the fate of her people brought tears to her eyes, never wishing something like this on her friends, but she had no voice as tears threatened to roll from her eyes.

 

[8Evolution8]

Francis was the prince of all vampires. Kindness was not something he could afford to have, especially for her kind. There were other royal families itching to knock his family from the throne and one ounce of weakness was enough to give them a window. He had to prove his ruthlessness every second he was outside of his bedroom. Even if he was alone, he had to make sure he showed no weakness for even the air was a spy. That was at least what his parents had always told him and he planned to keep strict to that.

Her people weren't the only ones lined up as slaves. Soldiers from the rival kingdom was mixed in with them to show it wasn't just her people he was picking on. This was a common thing throughout and that much she would come to understand. He was fair in his ruthlessness but her survival could show the opposite of that. For the mean time, the two of them didn't encounter each other for a while after they parted at the balcony. He had to make sure his orders were being followed, check and see what was of worth within this place.

While Ryan had given her a gown he had found, more like draped it over her form so she could shield herself. The man didn't talk, never did, so there were no words to be shared when he carried her like he did. Soon they would come out into the courtyard to see his master sitting on his steed. "She looks acceptable. I'll do something about her attire once we get home." Francis said as he grabs her from his subject's shoulders to place her on the horse in front of him. She was laid across between him and the horse's neck. "Lets go." With that him and his four guards rode out ahead of the line of slaves and his vampiric army.

It was clear that the news of this would travel throughout the human realm. That vampires wiped out an army and destroyed a kingdom of humans, but he could care less. Humans may have outnumbered them, but they out powered them. Francis let his right hand rest on her back to keep her steady as they rode back through the country side.

OOC: I hope you enjoying the rp. Like I said before we started, I haven't played a Vampire in a loooooong time. lol

 

[Rayn_Chain]

The princess of course was more fragile than she would admit and as she was carried about she didn’t bother arguing or saying anything, knowing it was pointless and would just end her up into a lot of trouble in the end. She tried to move a little on the man’s shoulder since it wasn’t the most comfortable position to be in and was hurting her stomach and ribs. As she was given a gown to cover herself with she quickly put it on, knowing it was not her’s from how it did not fit, and if the damn vampire could have been a little more civilized than he had been she would have still been wearing her beautiful dress.

Once she was brought outside she could hardly tell where she was anymore, being moved around so fast that it made her sick. But as soon as she heard the Prince’s comment to her she sighed, shaking her head as she was picked up once again and put over the horse, giving a whimper since this was very unlady like. “Please let me sit correctly on here?” She pleaded trying to hang onto the horse, feeling his hand on her back holding her in place, and if he would allow her that she would instead lean into him for support to stay on the steed. “Where are we going?” She asked softly giving a soft groan at the pain that had been in her stomach and ribs.

She listened to everything around her, since she had really never been outside of the town more than once she was curious about where she was going. This was one of those times where she wished that she could see since she would have loved to see everything outside her kingdom.

Francis found himself raising a brow when he heard her pleas and request. When the others heard, they found themselves laughing as well since they knew what was going through the prince's mind. "I guess she's never been a slave before?" Noah asked with laughter in his voice while Aidan merely shook his head in disbelief. Francis couldn't help but laugh with the rest of them since it of course had a bit of humor to it. "She is a princess, I guess she isn't use to such treatment." The Prince said while smiling at the thought. "Maybe we should get her a carriage as well?" One of them asked with a smile plastered across his features.

This caused them to laugh once more before hearing her next question. "You go where I go. You knowing is irrelevant." Francis informed her before nodding to his men to let them know it was time they got back home. He gave his horse a slight tap with his heel which sent the creature galloping at full speed. The others did the same with Ryan and Mason in front of him and Noah behind him with Aidan at his side. It was clear none of them cleared about the rest of the army since no one was foolish enough to attack their kind. Not even their canine rivals were dumb enough to attack them when they were in such large numbers.

Besides there were still generals among the others, so the Prince could happily return back to the castle with no worries. Glancing down towards the girl, Francis for some reason lifted her up and placed her onto the back of the horse. It almost seemed like he swung her around him while catching her with his other hand to make sure she didn't fall off. "Hold on, child." He told her since the horse was still running at full speed and if she wasn't careful, she could find herself on the ground. He didn't know what made him do so, but did it anyway and no one said a thing to him about it.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

Hearing there laughter she merely sighed and rolled her eyes at them, obviously they weren’t seeing things from her perspective, she was blind and was unaware of what was around her, she knew she should have been more specific about her question since these creeps seemed to find the girl funny. “No, the treatment is not my problem, but since I can not see I can only go off of descriptions of what others give me I had meant by my question what it is like where you are taking me?” She explained, only to the prince, hoping that she had not upset him since her life belonged to him now. She remained still on the horse and flinched when it began moving with her still slung over it, but in a moment she could feel him take a hold of her and moved her to the back of the horse and out of habit she quickly wrapped her slender arms around his waist tightly to hang on, leaning her entire body against his back and leaning her head on his back as well as her chest against it, stopping any wind resistance that was brought on by her.

The princess was completely lost and now knew nothing of where she was so she would have no way of getting home, or free. She bit her lip hard to stop herself from crying at the whole day and the entire turned around, knowing it was going to be hard to get use to, but then again from her disability most treated her less than what she had been, making fun of her, but usually behind her back, being cruel sometimes since they knew she could have no way of defending herself, even her brothers picked on her, so this was no different, the princess was far from that of the spoiled rich girls they might have encountered, she was forced to clean everything on her own unlike her family who all had the servants do it, instead her servants would only stand near her to help her if she needed it, but she refused to have others do much more than that for her. She was a very misunderstood girl, but despite her inability to see she was still very easy on the eyes.

 

[8Evolution8]

She was interesting and that much was for sure. She was surrounded by creatures that could kill her by accident yet she still served to speak as she will. Talking like she was among the dumbest collection of males she had ever encounter. "You little bitch, its you who don't understand!" Noah snapped. Francis was sure she had already realized he wasn't the most stable of their group and was quick to anger. "I'm saying we don't give a fuck about what you wanna know and how you feel about shit!" He damn near yelled at her from behind since he was following the prince.

"You are less than a dog to us. You get no explanation or even a fraction of a clue as to what is go-" Suddenly the vampire went quiet when he saw the hand of his Lord's raise, a simple gesture to tell him that was enough. "My subject is right. Regardless what you ask or wish to know, it matters not to me." Francis began only to continue. "What you know depends on what I feel like telling you." He finished while taking hold of his rein once more to make sure he had a firm grasp on it. "But to humor you, it is not an easy question to answer." Which was the truth but he did plan to explain to her why he thought so. "I never seen my kingdom from the eyes of a human, so I can not completely tell you. To me it is bless, perfection in every way." He told her while keeping his attention on the path ahead of them, Noah glaring a bit from behind since he wasn't liking her at all.

"I bit you wish you ate her." Aidan said with a laugh to tease his old friend who turned his glare to him. "The odds are, you won't agree with me. You wont be seeing or experiencing it through the eyes or status of a human." He informed her only to add. "I surely have no idea how a slave views the place, but I doubt it will be pleasant." He said while glancing over his shoulder at her only to return his gaze onto the road ahead of him. He wasn't able to enjoy the feel of her against his body, he was of course still dressed completely in his black armor from the field. His first stop when he got home was to change into something more comfortable.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

Hearing Noah snap at her frightened her greatly and she held onto there lord much tighter now, afraid of the man attacking her or hurting her, "I’m sorry for bothering you.” She muttered softly as she cried. From then on she just listened to what there lord had said and seeing as how they really did not want to hear her she remained as such, not saying a word at all, as tears rolled down her face, finally feeling the full weight of what they were going to do to her, wondering if she should just kill herself before they had a chance to torture her further, insulting her, taunting her for her questions, she may have been a slave to them, but at least the others could see where they were going and being unable to know what it was like where you were going to serve the rest of your life as a dog to someone she merely wished to know what the place was like. But she remained silent and lifeless like a doll now biting her lip again fearfully, hoping that Noah would not be one of the ones to toy with her or she very well might kill herself if he was as cruel as he sounded.

Instead the princess kept her head down and leaned against the armor breathing as calmly as possible trying to settle down. She had been spoken to in that way, but there threats were like nothing she had heard from others before, and she knew they would drain her and kill her. She wanted to apologize to Noah in hopes of making him not so cold toward her, but she thought better about it, knowing he would probably just snap at her again.

To her time passed by slowly and she wondered how far his kingdom was, unable to measure how far they had gone so far by horse strides. Her hair swayed and flowed as the horse moved rather quickly.

 

[8Evolution8]

Francis took note of how she had suddenly fell silent and allowed it to be. He wasn't in the mood for her questions since there was a lot on his mind at the moment. He allowed himself to focus on his thoughts and think about what they were going to do with all the new humans that were being brought back to the kingdom. He knew the former soldiers would be put up for sport, letting the vampires watch them fight one another. The females were in for a worst fate and had much more broad uses. Though some males may find themselves sharing the place of females.

From being a toy to something to drink from and if they were lucky, they would end up as a servant for the castle as a whole. That was mostly left up to the royal family which wasn't much. Besides Francis and his father, he had his mother, a sister, a aunt, uncle, and male cousin. That was all that remained from the last in fight from them and they had sworn never to raise their hand to one another. This was the reason he could never be away from the castle for too long or why he couldn't show witness. His knew his uncle or cousin would kill to place themselves on his throne.

A short while later Noah shouted. "Home, bout time!" He roared before snapping the reins and jetting past everyone else to race forward. "Fuck you losers!" He said which only caused Aidan to chase after him and after glancing towards the Prince to get his approval, Ryan and Mason followed suit. "How are you child?" Francis asked while glancing over his shoulder towards her. He was ruthless but there was also a reason behind his actions, nothing was either meaningless to him. Though he did plan to break her until she completely submitted to him, they was no reason to beat her down.

Francis also wanted to make sure she didn't do anything foolish since he had no interest in losing another pet so soon. Before they knew it, they all was passing through the large black metal gates. It felt good to be back within his home and even more so that he didn't have to worry his father. "DADDY!" Shouted two vampires as they burst out of the front doors to the castle, moving like blurs towards Francis. Of course they weren't really his kids, they were just two females he had turned a few decades ago. As he dismounted, he was about to say something before they shouted.

"Brent is sitting on the throne!" Eva and Ava had both shouted out which caused him to narrow his brows. "Take her to my room. I'll be there shortly. Don't harm her!" With that Francis and his four guards vanished from the scene to head into the castle and towards his throne room. "He didn't even say hi." Eva said with a pout. "Or any hug." Ava added before both turned their attention onto the female. "Mmmm but master has amazing taste." Eva said with a smile as she reaches out for the woman's hand. "We wont bite." Eva said only to have her sister add. "We'll lick and kiss, but no biting." Ava said with a smile as she reaches out for the woman's other hand.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

Hearing the other stake of brought a slight smirk to her lips, since her brothers use to do the same thing when she was much younger, but hearing his question her grip on his torso loosened and she tried to look up toward his voice, “I’m fine I suppose.” She said softly. She was a little surprised to hear his question and felt so strange to be called child since she had not heard that word from any others except her father. Listening closely to everything around her the girl was frightened for her people knowing what most likely would happen to them, but she knew she had no control over it and frowned, knowing she would never see any of them again. Instead her mind was on what the Prince would do to her and what he had planned for the girl.

What she heard next confused her, she wondered how old Francis was since she heard the girls call out Daddy, and from what she could hear and tell he was rather young in appearance, which was the only downfall to vampires for her, she could never tell what there ages were since it didn’t matter by appearance or how they spoke.

When he walked away she felt once again lost and helpless, listening around her, knowing that the two girls were still there, but until one of them comment about her appearance she knew not where they were standing. Feeling someone reach for her hand she quickly pulled back, her previous treatment by the other men not helping her trust anyone at the moment, but she took a deep breath hearing the other one speak, nodding she caught her breath and reached out for the two, “I’m sorry for my reaction, I’m still not use to many other people or there touch, and the two who threatened me have me still a little jumpy,” She explained as she took both there hands, wondering just how old they were, but the question was not only rude, but not lady like. But she could not contain a soft blush when the one added about her appearance, “I would compliment you if I could, but unfortunately I can not see you, but you both sound very sweet and beautiful from the tune of your voices.” She said, knowing somewhat how to judge by tones to get an understanding of that individual’s personality. She held tightly to the girls hands and allowed them to lead her around and to his room, wondering what it would be like.

 

[8Evolution8]

Eva nor Ava was offended by the reaction. She wasn't the first toy their father had brought home and so they were use to it by now. "Oh don't worry about that. Its all just an act." Eva said while she saw the girl relaxing while Ava added. "But Noah is a bit crazy though. I think I drank some bad blood." She said while laughing as they helped the girl down onto the ground with no problem at all. "Master is different though. Well if he decides to let you see him." Eva said and of course she wasn't talking about actually sight, something she found out this one seemed to lack. "That is horrible!" Ava said when she found out she was blind.

"And daddy is beautiful too." She added with a smile on her face as she leans close to the girl. It was clear personal space wasn't a bother for the two of them nor a concern. "But don't worry about it though, we'll do our best to help you out." Eva said before lifting her hand. "Here, let me help you." With that she placed the girl's hand to her face so she could feel her features and get a better sense of how she looked. "This how yall do it right?" She asked with a raised brow since she hadn't encountered many with this problem but she figured it was something like this. "All of her right?" Ava added with a wicked grin as she moved the girl's hand to place it on her sister's breast.

"Naughty little pet." Eva said with a laugh. "Oh and don't worry, we're twins so we look the same." Ava told the girl only to whisper. "But you can feel on me too if you'd like." A wide grin was plastered across her face as she playfully gave the princess a gently squeeze on the butt. The two lead the woman through the castle and to their father's large bedroom. "We need to give you something else to wear." Eva said. "Yeah this isn't pretty at all. You'd be better walking around nude." Ava added before saying. "I'll be right back!"

With that the vampire rushed out of the chamber to leave Eva alone with her. "I'll help you out of this." Eva said as she began to help the human out of her clothes since it didn't suit her at all. "I'm guessing one of them dressed you, besides the Prince. He has better taste." She was gentle with the human to make sure she didn't hurt her and to show that not all vampires were mean. "I doubt you would let someone put something so ugly on you." She stated since she felt that was the truth.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

Listening she smiled and nodded, glad that it was an act, even though it still had frightened her so much. Giggling she smiled, “Yes I could tell that one was on the insane side.” She added, knowing exactly which one she was talking about. Hearing her words about sight she smiled softly and grasped her hand harder, “It’s alright, I’ve heard worse, I have had my friends tell me that an outfit was beautiful and that I should see it, and she actually took a moment to catch her words.” She joked, obviously not hurt by the girls words at all.

Shrugging she spoke softly, “I am not too worried about the appearance of anyone since I can’t see I can see people for who they really are.” She explained, following the girls but paused when her hand was brought to her face and she giggled shaking her head, “Actually you normally start form the legs up, you can tell a lot about a person from the entire body as well as draw an image in your mind of them. And you can learn a lot about the way there body moves and its shaped.” She said, pulling her hand away from Arria’s as she ran a hand over the one twin’s face, using her fingers gently and giving a smile, “Even though you are twins you have differences that I will notice, unlike others.” She chimed. But she found her hand in an odd spot and quickly pulled away from the girl’s breast nervously.

Walking through the place she tried to remember how many steps she took as she entered the place, trying to keep in mind where she was going and how to get at least to the chambers of the vampire. Running a hand over her clothing she was unsure of what she had been put in and nodded, “Yes, your ‘Master’ stripped me in front of the remained of my people and then told one of them to get me dressed,” She shrugged as she allowed her to remove the dress. The girl was like a doll, already knowing which way to move before she even asked since the maids enjoyed dressing the slender girl in many different things.

But she was not use to being naked in front of people and had been holding back tears as long as she could during the whole ordeal, but she had really never expressed her pain from being treated so cruelly at home, she indeed had tried to hide any humiliation, but as she had the feeling of it play out in her mind again, not imagining it, but feeling it she felt tears stinging her bright blue eyes as her arms wrapped around herself, one hand coming to the back of her neck where he had grasped her and lift her up for them to see her naked, remember that metal claw against her delicate skin.

 

[8Evolution8]

The two sisters were actually enjoying the girl and only hoped they could spend more time with her. They also had a few ideas for what to do with her once their father had his way with her. How could they not have those types of ideas after seeing how gorgeous the woman was. Perverts? No they were vampires and if they weren't killing than what else was there to do in this day and age. But even though they were vampire, they were different than the rest in a few ways.

one they were a bit nicer than most which was why their father kept them around. If you ask them, they'd hope that wasn't the only reason he had decided to turn them and keep them around. "Oh you are more than welcome to feel me anywhere." The two girls said when they heard that she needed to thoroughly feel them out which made the two laugh at the thought. "I am really liking you." Ava said with a smile on her face since she could already picture the fun they could have. They just needed their father to give them the go head on matters like this, but they knew he'd want to play with his toys first. The two were shocked and at the same time not really surprised by the actions that their father did.

"Yeah, that sounds like him showing off. I just hope you ain't challenge him. Royal types can be a pain." They expressed but at the same time they wouldn't talk ill about the man since they didn't think there was little he could do wrong. "But he does lack shame. He will openly have sex with a woman. Like in the courtyard or on his father's throne." Ava pointed out to show he had no problems with exposing his flesh either. Soon she would leave to fetch something different for the new girl to wear only to leave her sister wondering what was taking her so long. She didn't want to leave the girl too soon, but felt she'd have to. "I'll be right back." Eva said as she rose and vanished out of the room in search of her twin sister.

A few minutes after she began to break down, the door would close with the bolt being twisted to lock the barrier. Soundless steps would carry the person across the room before a black cloak was draped over her bare form. No words were given or any proof as to who had entered the room as the figure began to undo the clips to his armor. It was almost like he was allowing the girl to cry and get whatever it was out of her system. He moved to the mannequin at the right corner of his room to place his pieces of armor onto it. "Come child, there is no need to waste such emotions." The voice of Francis called out as he removed the last pieces of his armor.

"It takes pressure to craft a diamond." Francis told her as he moved across the room with his tunic and pants. He had yet to remove them. He moves to crouch down before her while lifting his bare right hand to comb his fingers through her hair. "You wish to strike me? Take vengeance for your people?" He asked her and he wasn't at all making fun of her. His questions were genuine like he actually planned to make those dreams come true.

 

[Rayn_Chain]

Hearing the girls she smiled, and realized that they very well may be her only friends here, and to take note on that, since they were much more open and exciting than the other in her castle. She really did not mind the two girl’s company, “Showing off? No, I stated something and he wished to test it, I did not mean for it to come off as a challenge, but merely a statement, and an observation.” She said softly as she covered her body, feeling it rather cold now since her clothing had been removed and it took a bit longer for the girl to fetch her clothing.

But when she explained how he lacked shame she cringed, shaking her head, “Having sex in the open and in public areas? I couldn’t imagine such a thing, I may be blind, but I do have shame in such things as that even if I’m a V-“ But she cut herself off there, not sure how the two would react to know she was inexperienced. She herself didn’t know how the girls were thinking of her in such a naughty way, even though the thought crossed her mind with a few of her very close maids who offered once or twice.

As the girls left she shifted on the bed a little, her hands covering her body the best they could, tears streaming out as she continued to cry, now that she was alone for a few minutes she could get it all out and her body shook as she sobbed where she was, wishing to forget what had happened and what was about to happen for the rest of her life how ever long that was. She even felt disturbed at how many women that there Prince might have been with, but then again he was very old and it came as little surprised to her, but she would have thought he would have found a suitable wife and changed her or something, but they mentioned nothing of it and he still kept her as his play thing now.

When the door closed she felt a chill go over her body, hearing the footsteps but no one said a word, making her wonder who was in the room, and she even flinched slightly when the cloak was draped over her. But hearing his words she knew who it was and as he said waste her emotions she shook her head, “I am not wasting them, my family was just killed, stripped and hung, my people enslaved and myself hurt by you and your men, I don’t think that it is wasted at all.” She snapped, her hand coming to grasp the last little thing she had on, her mother’s necklace which she would rather die than give up. But something was different about him now as he knelt down and touched her, and without the claw she felt a little more comfortable when he touched her. Hearing him she shook her head, “As much as I may wish for revenge against you and your men, it won’t bring my father or brother’s back, nor will it do any good to my people, so yes I would like to strike you, but I see no point behind it.” She hissed coldly before biting her lip, hoping he had not gotten angry about her reaction. She opened her mouth to apologize, but stopped, she had spoken her mind and that was all that she really needed and was hoping that he was not as quick tempered as the others.

 

[8Evolution8]

This was to be expected and wasn't that big of a shock to the vampire. He had been alive for over three centuries and had taken more slaves than most could ever dream of. He had invaded and killed more human kingdoms than most humans can dream of. Cruelty wasn't his only disposition. He had also helped create some and given others power, though all done behind the scenes. This was different for him though, he actually think he aided her people in some twisted sense of things.

Sure he could have killed her enemy and allowed them peace, but then that would have reflected badly on him. Not from humanities stand point, he sure they would have praised or hated him. But from the view of his kind it would have been looked down upon as acting weak for showing too much kindness. He was also sure there was nothing he could say to left the burden from her heart and ease her worries. What was done had been done and there was little he could do about it. Little words within the language they knew could repair the damage to her heart and soul.

Sadly Francis wasn't the kind to sit back and accept defeat and so he would say what he could. "Do you think your people would feel better or worst having this done to them by their own kind?" He asked her while standing up. "The humans that attacked you would have done the same thing. In fact they would have killed and raped the woman and children of your kingdom. Enslaved those they wanted and allowed them to live in hellish conditions." The Prince began as he stepped away from her to begin undressing since he needed to wear clothes fitting his rank within these walls. "You most likely would have been taken by as many of their men as possible to further destroy your character and simply humiliate you." He added while he striped down to his bare form.

He moved to his armor to remove his dagger only to move back towards her. "We are cruel, mean, and ruthless but find no joy in crushing what it already beneath us unless we are making an example of you." He told her as he came to stand in front of her only to reach down and grab her right hand, placing the handle of the blade within it. He would take hold of her left hand to place it against his chiseled tone form so she knew where her target was at. "But at least your people can take confront in the fact Monsters are doing this to them." He finished knowing it may not mean anything to her but he still felt it was best to say it.

"And you speak of revenge doing nothing, then what are those tears for? They wont bring back the dead, change what has already been done, and yet you still waste them." Francis said to her while yanking her right hand forward so the tip of the blade was against his chest. "If you wish to cry for them, then have the strength to fight for them." It was almost like he wanted her to take her anger out on him, let her fist be her tears in a way. Surely this was odd, but no matter where she stabbed him with that blade death would not find him.
