beauty and blood

[Sweetly_masked]

It was nearly nightfall when the final boat came to port in the colorful, well decorated city of Venice. Everyone flooded off the ship ready to go to the large and lavish parties the city was known for. It was the age of decadence after all. On the very back of the ramp, which the excited visitors exited, was what appeared to be a young man, maybe in his early teens. He were a baggy white shirt with a tight buttermilk vest. He seemed too willowy and pale compared to most of the toned, sunkissed boys at that age.

That was because Amelia was no boy. For a girl she stood taller then most at 5'9" with a slender, graceful looked. She had snowy blonde hair that was pulled back into a ponytail to hid her womanly charm. Her Mother had been a french women who actually grew up in Venice while her father was a strong German man that swept her off her feet and ran away with her. Amelia was the perfect mix of the two, Strong yet pale and graceful. If she didn't dress like a boy she would've had suitors lined up to wed her. Other then her far too pretty face, Amelia managed to hid all her feminine features well. Her breasts were tightly bound with cloth so her chest was flat, her waistcoat hid the rest of her chest with it's thick fabric. She wore chocolate brown breeches and a long jacket to hid her curvy hips.

If she had been a normal girl she would have been considered one of the most lovely maidens around. If her mother hadn't died, she would have been raised as a girl. Instead her mother was murdered by a vengeful vampire when Amelia was little only a toddler. Her Father was from a well known and feared vampire hunter family, it was understandable that some of the monsters wouldn't like him very much. He didn't know how to raise a girl. He would take her and her other 6 brother off on his missions, training them to be the best vampire hunters in the land. This was her first mission alone. Her father was very reluctant to let her but she was 19 years old, already far pasted the adult age for most girls.

She also was cleaner then most, she bathed regularly, unlike most people. she had to keep her scent as faint as possible due to her hunting. Her skin had a healthy shine and was as smooth as still water. Even though she was a woman she never thought of herself with a gender, she was a vampire slayer. The hunter girl had got a messege that there was a vampire in Venice, but one of wealth and power. Likelihood it was just a false alarm, rich people tended to seem weird and almost cold blooded to normal people....but it didn't mean they really were.

Her fierce, yet powdery blue, eyes darted around looking at any buildings that a vampire would be likely to stalk. The bar was always the most likely area because intoxicated people were the easiest to target. Drunks were always willing to share what they knew about the gossip. If there was a vampire here, someone here would give her the details. She touted over to the pub a block away. People were already crowing in. This would be the perfect spot for her to learn if there was any truth to the rumor she was following.

"pardon me?" She spoke in a lower, more masculinely voice as she tapped on the shoulder of a man inside. "I'm new to town, I was wondering if you would mind me sitting here?" Even when she tried to sound like a guy she still only managed prepubescent boy. Her heart began to pump wildly in her chest. She had never gathered information by herself before, one of her brothers were always there beside her. This time she was all alone. She hoped this man would either think she was just funny or would be too drunk to notice.

The later was what seemed to be the case as the man barely turned to look before nodding. â??Courthhh you sssan meee boyoo.â? There was a obvious odor about the man that spoke of far too late at the pub this evening even though the night was still very young. â??Long atth you promithhh to not bite mee â??eck.â? The man laughed as though what he had said was very funny.

Baron Humbert von Gikkingen sat a distance away sipping at a glass of red liquid. Around him his clan moved slightly the leaders also drinking from tell stemmed glasses. With a simple nod the group was off moving into the dark of night to take their victims for the night. Their group was getting far too large it wouldnâ??t be long before the accursed hunters found them. Yet he seemed to be the only one to notice or care.

Sighing he downed the remainder of his cup and then turned to leave bidding his fellows fairwell. He pulled his black hood up the cloak flowing around him as he hurried through the streets. His hair now hidden was brilliant red almost unnaturally so, but it was his eyes that shocked both vampire and human alike, they were deep ice blue. No one knew why he had ice blue eyes rather than the normal blood red, but there were no cracks made about them because of all the vampires in Venice, none could remember a time when he had not been there before them. He was the eldest of this town.

 

[Sweetly_masked]

Before she had even questioned about the vampire rumor he mentioned it. immediately she knew this wasn't a false alarm, if it was common knowledge to a drunk then there had to be some activity. She tried her very best to stay pleasant as she spoke to the drunk fool. She pressed him as much as she could to get more evidence from him however it appeared he was going to be of no more help. The hunter wandered over to a group of older women that began to flirt and caress her shoulders the moment she sat down. It was common behavior...but still made her extremely uncomfortable. In close contact like this her cover could get blown if the drinking hens decided to get grabby.

Once she got what she needed to know she left the bar. Not only was there a vampire in the city but there was a whole clan. Amelia had already had most of her belonging stored in her hotel but she always carried her important weapons. Built into her overcoat were three long pockets that held her stakes. Under her skirt, just above her tightly bonded breasts, she wore her mother's silver cross necklace. Unfortunately her sword was in the hotel...her best weapon. She sighed, It would be a pain if she ran into any vampires before she got her weapon. The chill of the night's air nipped at her ears and nose as she walked the lonely street.

 

[Kolath]

There were a few vampires out that night preparing for some late night snacks. One of them had seen her in the bar and knew that this person she thought was a man, was not a regular or even from this town by his accent. She decided that this new man would be her prey tonight. Flitting from shadow to shadow she stalked the man through the streets a blood lust and another form of lust rising in her making both her mouth and pussy wet.

------

Elsewhere in the city Baron Humbert walked through the well lit streets his bright blue eyes shifting quickly from side to side. He could feel somethingâ?¦something was about to start tonight would change the world for him and he hoped his clan would still be there after it.

 

[Sweetly_masked]

Amelia headed closer to her hotel when she felt her hidden necklace begin to heat up. She continued to walk as if nothing was wrong but she was now keenly aware of her little stalker of the night. The necklace had always informed her of the presence of vampires. It was the one gift her mother had given her before she died. Amelia liked to believe it was her mother's way of protecting her even after death. She couldn't see her follower yet, but judging by the weak amount of heat the necklace was releasing, this wasn't a very strong one. An easy defeat.

The hunter turned left, in the opposite direction on her hotel. There was no way she was going to show the monster her hideout. She lead them down onto an abandoned street. " You wouldn't be trying to follow me to my stay, would you? Well, You are a bit older then me," She turned around and confronted the surprised vampire. "But I am new to town, So maybe I'll indulged in a little sin tonight. She crossed her arms in a manly way, but really she was preparing to grab her stakes when the time came.

 

[Kolath]

The female vampire smirked her skirt being held up along her thigh as she slowly moved forward. â??Mmm that would be nice of you big boy.â? Smiled and putting on the grace that no mortal man could resist without training, she strutted forward. Her hips swayed and her breasts pressed against the fabric of her corset as the smell that would entice lust in a mortal rolled off her.

 

[Sweetly_masked]

She looked at the smooth leg of the female vampire with a delighted grin. On the inside she wanted to laugh in her face. Maybe it was because Amelia had never experienced being a girl, but such displays of the body looked foolish to her. "Very nice...." She groaned, pretending to be a turned on male. "So very nice..." She brushed her hand up her leg. " I want to take you, right here. I'll make you scream so hard you'll want to die." She said with a smile, her words had a double meaning.

With her sword still being stored in her hotel room, she would have to get close before she could do anything. It was dangerous but as long as she didn't get TOO far....playing the part, Amelia gripped the vampire's butt, pulling her even closer. With her other hand she carefully pulled out the sharp stake. The vampire whore started to move her hand to Amelia's chest, that was when she pushed her just far enough to drive the stake into her chest.

Just as she had said, the vampire screamed out, letting a bloody curling cry spread across the night. The hunter hadn't gotten the right angle when she stabbed, leaving the Whore still alive. The vampire fell to the ground, just barely holding onto life. Her evil eyes glowing as her precious blood soaked the concrete. The pale hunter stood over her, quickly pulling the stalk out and then stabbing it hard into her heart. Some of the vampire's blood spurted during the attack.

She swore as she stripped off her vest. She didn't know if the blood and landed anywhere else on her but she truly hoped not. Vampire blooded reeked horribly to others of their kind. It was like having her own personal target me sign. She didn't SEE anymore blood, but she was most likely have to lost her jacket later. She was worried to lost too much clothing, yes her breast were tightly bound but she still liked as much to hid her body as she could.

 

[Kolath]

The baron suddenly turned sniffing at the breeze having clearly heard the sound of the dying vampire. He could smell the blood in the airâ?¦â?There is a slayer in town.â? He turned back to his home waving at his guards to open the doors. He walked in casting his eyes about before motioning one of his human servants over, â??Go into the town and start the rumor that there is a Vampire lord up in this mansion.â? He waved and the servant left quickly to do his bidding, â??If that doesnâ??t bring the slayer here nothing will.â?

 

[Sweetly_masked]

Quickly, before the more from the clan came to investigate the smell of blood, the young hunter booked it back to her hotel. A few people returning from their late night formal parties were still in the lobby discussion the highlights of the evening. She smiled walking by the girls in their lavishly ruffled dresses and wildly high hairdo's. There was a sting of jealousy. They looked so happy and carefree. Shaking the pointless thoughts from her mind, she briskly walked to her room.

Her room was untouched accept for suitcases in the corner. With a great sigh she pulled off her overjacket to examine if any blood has also landed on it. A few still wet droplets of red liquid was on the cuff of the sleeve. She ripped it off, throwing it down on the ground. Luckily it had not gotten on her shirt. She opened her suitcase to get a new vest when she heard two voices coming down the hall.

"Vampires?!" Giggled the voice of a drunk happy women. "How exciting!" Amelia pressed her ear to the door, trying to absorb as much information as possible.

"That's what the maid down stairs said. That there was a rich vampire lord in that mansion. You know, that gorgeous one just outside the city. I bet it's just a hoax though. Someone would have noticed long before that there was a vampire In Venice."

Mansion? When her father gave her this mission he specially told her to avoid going to any mansions. She bit her lip in thought, it would be pointless for her to just wait around the town if she knew where the hid out was. She could save the whole town in one night. If she was judging the clan by the female she killed, then it would be a piece of cake. He father didn't even need to know. She was an adult that could take care of herself.

She threw on a vest and strapped her remaining two stakes to her legs, sword hanging off her shoulder. Excitement bubbled in her as she raced to the hid out. Everyone she passed knew knew the mansion and easily pointed her in the direction. It only took her an hour using the horse she borrowed to get to the great vampire's lair. Amelia jumped off the horse. The building was gated off but it didn't look to be locked, just in case she would sneak in the back way. Scaling the walls, she gracefully jumped into the back gardens.

 

[Kolath]

And there were already two burly men standing there as she touched down. â??The problem with you hunters is that you never remember to check your boots.â? One pointed down to her shoe where a small blotch of blood could be seen in all the dirt. â??Now you are going to die.â? The two men pulled out heavy double handed swords rushing at her at speeds that few mortals could match.

 

[Sweetly_masked]

Before she even had a time to curse in surprise, the hunter dropped to the moist ground. With lighting speed she kicked out the nearest vampire's ankles with all her might. His eyes widened as He lost his balance and fell face first. The other man tried to catch the him but he wasn't able to grab him in time. Amelia, quickly using the seconds she just bought herself jumped up behind the still standing vampire. Her sharp sword pressed against his neck. "And the problem with vampires is they believe they're invincible." she looked down at the other vampire, but much to her dismay, he had vanished.

"Damn..." She wanted to kill him but... there wasn't nothing she could do now. "Alright, bloodsucker, You're going to lead me to the guy that runs this little clan." She slapped him hard across the face with a huge smile on her face. Nothing more satisfying then disgracing a demon. The vampire nodded and lead her inside the mansion.

 

[Kolath]

The one that had disappeared had rushed inside his broken ankle healing quickly since he had just eaten not long before. â??My lord thereâ?¦â? the baron simply turned slicing him in half with his silver blade killing him in one slice. â??I know and you should have remained to fight him to the death.â? Looking around at the gathered vampires he nodded to a couple who rushed out to face her. they would care nothing for their fellows life he should have fought the hunter to the death anyway rather than giving in.

 

[Sweetly_masked]

Amelia felt the warm radiating heat from her cross necklace as more blood suckers came her way. She was on the porch by the time she saw the black figures creep at her from the her side. A sound of a breaking twig under the one of the vampire's boot acted like the man that shot the gun at the beginning of a race. The two suddenly bolted at her.

Almost as if she did not even think about it, the hunter Kicked her leg into the air just vampire was within reach of her leg. It made firm contact with its gut, knocking the wind of her the vampire. Unfortunately the momentum jammed her leg into her hip. She winced but did not have time to think about it. The next second the other one as coming at her.

"You don't want to hurt him, do you?" She said as she whipped the hostage in front of her. She gasped in surprise more then in pain. She looked down. This vampire had the thrust the blade though his fellow kind to get to her. From what she had seen in other vampire clans, all the vampires were very protective and loyal to each other. Why? They were becoming less and less human in her mind. the blade hadn't gone very deep, but it broke though both her clothing and she was bleeding slightly.

Well clearly there was no need to keep the hostage alive. She made quick work of slitting his throat. She was bleeding, but much, but a vampire could sometimes tell gender by the scent. She was getting tired already and was bleeding. There wasn't anyway could take on the rest of the clan tonight. She was going to kill these last two, then go get her brothers ,back home, to help.

Amelia charged at the one who had cut her, totally forgetting about the one that had been laying on the ground. The vampire jumped at her again, swinging his sword as he did. Amelia jumped away, arching her back to avoid the blade.

Which she did for the most part.

It cut open right though to fabric, that bond her breasts. The tight pressure the kept them flat loosened till it was doing nothing to hide, and there was a large hole her vest and blouse. She felt her attacker eyes gaze down at her exposed breast, suddenly recognizing the scent of women.

"Baron!" He shouted into the mansion. " You might want to come-" but he was cut off as she pressed her own sword though his throat.

 

[Kolath]

The baron had heard the call and was interested in what it could be that his fellow had called him. he knew that his man was dead just from his words being cut off. Pulling on a long fighting cloak hinding the rapier that he had as his waist. He rushed to a upstairs window. Crushing through it suddenly he flipped down into the courtyard where the fight was taking place landing on his feet one knee slightly bent, his cloak falling around him as he slowly began to stand up behind her waving the single remaining vampire away. â??What is this?â? he knew the scent as female even though his other minions had needed more evidence. â??Interesting a female Slayer. This should be fun.â? He smiled his head slightly cocked to one side. â??What is your name girl?â?
