Heirot

Vlad breathed tightly in anticipation as the hand slowly slid down under the lip of his pants. And then suddenly he yelped out in startled arousal, his eyes springing open at the sudden pressure. "Tenele," he breathed raggedly, looking down at her face in confusion. He still hadn't quite gathered what was going on, but something seemed very abnormal...

"Its me big boy," Rosoff whispered huskily. "Really big boy...." The perverted sadistic butler laughed and Tenele's eyes slowly flickered open as she felt the strange feeling of something sliding down her body and then her name being whispered as well as another voice.

"What?" She said, her eyes immediately falling on the hand down Vlad's pants. She yelped in horror.

Vlad was wide awake now, and finally conscious of the wamth on his back. "It' sme big boy," a husky voice whispered into his ear. In a instant's passing, Vlad telekinetically thrust Rosoff off him and flat onto his back, and in the same instant teleported above him, straddling the butler menacingly with knifelike claws pressed firmly against his neck. Vlad was ready to decapitate him. He glared down at the butler in bitter astonishment, still embarassingly aroused. His brain wasn't forming words for the situation; he was thinking he'd just slice the guy's head off, knowing if he opened his mouth wider than the snarl it currently formed, all that would come out was a string of unintelligible expletives.

"Don't kill him," a man's voice said from inside the room with him. He had sensed something was amiss and now he knew what. Eradore was standing close to the bed on Tenele's side. She had sat up, and was kneeling on the bed, staring at Vlad with wide eyes. "We don't need a reason to fight eachother, No Life King."

Tenele turned her pretty head around to where the Lord was standing and his eyes fell on her for an instant... In that instant she became lost and transfixed as he worked his magic on her. Vlad had someone he needed, and he would get someone Vlad needed if it came to ransoming lives.

Tenele was still kneeling on the bed, only this time she looked strangly as if she were in a trance.

"I wouldn't want it to come to this. I think we could get along."

Vlad did not miss the sudden presence of powerful vampiric sorcery other than his own in the room. "You seem to be under the sorely mistaken impression that I am easily manipulated," he warned the other vampire in a low, dangerous tone. "What have you done to the girl?" His claws pressed deeper against the butler's skin, sending drops of blood leaking out into the sheets.

"Nothing that she wouldn't want me to do," the vampire replied with out any emotion on his face. "You know the power we vampires have. Women are so... easily drawn to us if we concentrate it enough.... Concentrate enough and you can have them completely tansfixed." His hand came up and turned Tenele's face gently towards him more.

She made a move to move away, but he narrowed his eyes more and she felt herself falling again into this power that she begged silently for Vlad to save her from.

The lords arm wrapped gracefully around her waist and pulled her closer to him, his hand tilting her head back to reveal her smooth and graceful neck. "No more of his blood shall be spilled... Unless you want hers to flow as well." He showed his fanges, that sparkled as lightning flashed across the room.

Tenele whimpered, but still could not move.

Vlad's lips pulled up into a psychotic sneer. A low, dark laugh rose up from his lungs as his demeanor suddenly grew dangerously casual. His claws retracted back into his hand and he moved off of Rosoff. "My pardon. It seems my estimation of you was incorrect." Vlad said graciously, pushing Rosoff off the bed to land in a safe and clumsy heap on the floor.

The lord of the manor watched as Rosoff was moved safely away and he did so for the vampire's woman. Not before leaving his own more with a slash of his fingernail to her neck.

She moved quickly away from him when he let go over her and crawled back behind Vlad as if he might protect her from this vampire.

"Rosoff will not bother you anymore," the lord said and turned, Rosoff followed quickly behind him, nursing his sore neck.

Tenele sighed in relief, resting her head Vlad's back.

Vlad smiled as the vampire got up and went for the door. In an instant, he disappeared from the bed and reappeared directly behind Eradore, his long claws pulled tightly against the front of the man's throat. "I meant that my estimation was too high," the No Life King said darkly. With a swift cut, he sliced open the man's neck, his blood spraying across the floor. It wasn't enough to sever his head, but it was close. Vlad shoved his body disdainfully to the floor and turned a dark grin on Rosoff, who fled the room. Vlad was not one to be crossed lightly.

Tenele watched in horror at what Vlad did, though she did not hold it against him. She would have done the same if she had razor sharp claws.

Eradore clutched his throat and tried to speak, but his voice failed him. He crawled across the floor away from Vlad and towards the bed, needing something that would keep the vampire from killing him.

"Come... to... me..." he ordered Tenele as he glared at her pure green eyes.

Tenele closed her eyes tightly to keep him from doing that... whatever it was.

Rosoff ran back in with a crossbow fixed with an arrow blessed by priests, just encase his master went psycho on him.

The blood rolled across the floor as Eradore regenerated his neck... hoping to bide time to get to Tenele.... If he had her the vampire wouldn't kill him.

Vlad paid no attention to Rosoff; his smirk broadened as he went after Eradore and stabbed his nails into his spine, penetrating to the floor. "You will learn the price of offending my companion," he sneered. He removed his claws and threw one more slash, cleaving the vampire's head neatly from his body. He was intent in his act, not yet interested in the crossbow trained on him.

Good thing Tenele had her eyes closed, seeing someone's head leave there body in such a fashion might make her sick. She heard Vlad's words though. "You will learn the price of offending my companion."

She opened her eyes and gasped. She jumped off the bed and wrapped her arms around Vlad, moving him out of the way and the arrow hit the bed post where they had been standing. The blade grazing Tenele's exposed shoulder.

Rosoff quickly tried to reload, shaking.

Vlad glanced at Tenele as her arms suddenly wrapped around him and pushed him sideways. The arrow caught his attention as it struck the bedpost, and he smelled Tenele's blood distinctly from that of the vampire. Suddenly there was no one between Tenele's arms, and Rosoff's pained shriek sounded through the building. By the time she looked, he lay gurgling on the floor, his chest cleaved open. Vlad straightened and looked back at Tenele seriously, scanning her for the wound he smelled, but didn't yet see.

Tenele sighed and looked around the room at the gory mess. "Good thing I'm not weak stomached," she breathed and shifted as she felt a wet fluid on the bottom of her feet which was blood that was pulling across the stone floor.

She looked beautiful, wearing the black tunic that hung off the shoulder on one side and came just above her knees, her long taned legs disappearing under the fabric.

On the back of her bare should was a slash that wasn't deep, but it did bleer. On her neck was the cut from the finger nail of the late Lord Eradore.

"My pardons, my lady," the No Life King smirked. Vlad walked back to her calmly, though his furious pride was still ignited. He was greatly annoyed that the man and his absurd help had managed to wound Tenele twice without his stopping it. His hand curled under her arm lightly and raised it, his lips pressing against the cut on her arm. He ran his tongue over it, the bleeding coming to a stop as his saliva clotted it. He pulled back for a moment to look at her and measure her willingness. There was no lust or desire in his eyes; just a fiery calm. Closing his eyes decisively, he moved toward her neck, licking it firmly before moving away again.
