Witchhazel Hollows

Zoey | Werewolf

Loving his concern, I look up at him with a slight smile. "I'm good," I say, glancing down at my stomach and setting my hand atop his. I look over at Jaem to check on him before shifting to be on my side. "I'm fine," I repeat, sighing.

San - Werewolf

I flash a smile at her, but can't help but feel that she's annoyed by the question. Sighing, I nod and look at Jaem. He's chasing the shadows of the fire on the floor with his paws. I glance back at Zoey and kiss the side of her face.

"I just wanted to be sure," I whisper, "I'm allowed to worry about you, remember?"

Zoey | Werewolf

I smile at this and can't help but giggle at Jaem chasing shadows. I nod and look down at my stomach again and then at him. "Yeah. I know. But your still the Alpha and I'm still the Luna," I kiss him softly. "Right?" I smile. Jaem tries to touch the fire and I chuckle, shaking my head at him.

San - Werewolf

I smile and watch her giggle at our pup. Jaem paws the fire before jumping back and grunting at it. He sets his eyes back on the shadows and chases them until he's too tired to move. Plopping down, he grunts again and pants. I look back at Zoey and kiss her forehead.

"You will always be my Luna," I whisper, "As I will always be your Alpha."

Zoey | Werewolf

I flash a smile at him before remembering there was a bar somewhere around here. "San, I'm going to the bar to get something to drink," I tell him, standing. "You can come if you want." I pick Jaem up as he shifts human and I shift him in my right arm. I walk to the bar and step in, seeing that vampire, a meer human, and a dark looking guy. Probrably a demon. I swallow before stepping up.

"Water please," I say softly.

Fidelis Nemesis | Vampire

I sipped the blood again. "I rather not be called by my title. I stepped down two centuries ago. Although I am flattered to know that I'm praised as a legend, even legends like myself need time away from high society. I stop by taverns like this one to get reintroduced to the lower class of which is part of my mortal roots." My nose detected the scent of someone with magic, no doubt amongst the other patrons of the tavern. "However, being as old as I actually am, I have rules that are taken seriously. Lucky for you, I'm on a very strict diet that prohibits me of drinking the blood of women and children. Only guilty men pacifies my thirst. Innocent blood is also forbidden for me to feed off of." I detected the scent of a pack of werewolves. As much as I wanted to start a fight with them, I told myself in Egyptian that I shouldn't attack unless provoked. I knew the rules of the game. I won't attack unless someone provokes me, so until that happened I was as tame as a house cat.

Kain

"Yea listen to the old man, he rather not be reminded of how terribly old he you know?" I chuckle.

The old king stares me down with a devils eye and it only causes me to laugh as I sip from the fine wine. As I do I turn back to him.

"Oh I'm sorry did I hurt the old mans feelings? Your what? A little over seven thousand years old and with a hod rod daughter ruling for you now? I should pick her up sometime." I laugh again.

Fidelis Nemesis | Vampire

I growled. "You keep my only child out of this. As much as I love her like I love her mother, I'm still scared of my daughter on account that her temper is worse than mine." I sipped the blood again. "Apart from her, the sunlight, and a lit fire, I'm not afraid of anything. And for your information, my age shouldn't concern you. I may not be vampire King anymore, but that doesn't mean I don't have any wits left in my system." I slipped my hand under my vest, gripping the wooden handle of my skewer. I didn't want my daughter to be touched by anyone without my consent first. I was highly protective of my daughter and bride, so no one had the right to mention them lustfully in my hearing.

Kain

I laugh more as he idioctically threatens me with the puny skewer of his, why should I feel threatened? I wasn't, I was feeling more amused than threatened plus a fight is what I could use to really start the night.

"Trust me old man, you don't want to fight a demon like me, ha you wouldn't know since those petty Egyption gods of yours protect you from hell itself. I am Kain, The Ruler of The Seventh Circle of Hell. You would be sent to my circle to be eternally punished for your crimes against man." I said in my a metalic voice.

"Abandon hope of defeating me, Fidelis Nemesis, you will not survive a fight with me." I added on.

Fidelis Nemesis | Vampire

I wanted to challenge him, but a part of me was terrified of him. At first I didn't know why, but then remembered reading something centuries ago. It mentioned the Seventh Circle of Hell as the House of Violence and divided in three rings- one of them being the outer ring which is a river of blood and fire. Even newborn vampires feared hell, as I have feared the Underworld- the Egyptian hell. I kept my skewer in my vest- since I never took it out- and brought my cup to my lips, my hand shaking uncontrolably. "What have I ever done to deserve your Circle of Hell? I've only killed those who harm other mortals, even those of my own kind who don't obey my rules. Only one time I killed an innocent mortal, but that was redeemed by killing those who do wrong. If anything, I deserve redemption."

Kain

I sip from my wine as I prepare for a long explanation, I order another round as it soon comes around for me to drink but soon gulp that down and order another one as a long silence draws out between me and him.

"This may sound hipocritcal and all, but the big man says he forgives his children for what they done. But its a load of bull one sin and your out of heaven and down in hell. You are no exception, you break the necks of many men in your days and not to mention your wife, who knows where she'll end up if she goes to hell. Possibly the circle of lust, but may not considering how many Incubuses she ticked off. But shes loved with the succubusses. And your daughter is only acting as the same so far. No incubus can sway her at all." I said.

Fidelis Nemesis | Vampire

What he told me both angered and terrified me. I was furious at the mention of my mate and daughter, but my hand was shaking more and more which made drinking from the cup very difficult. I put the cup down and studied my hand. It was shaking more than it was when I had to face my daughter in combat. This was worse than I thought. I struggled to calm down, but couldn't. "I just told you that I only kill those who do wrong. The only time I ever killed an innocent mortal was by accident. I deserve redemption from that one little mistake. I kill only the wicked and stay clear of women, children, and other innocent mortals. Redemption is all I ask for and deserve for all the things I did to keep myself alive and other mortals safe. If there's anyone who deserves your house, it's the Bloodlust Twins in your outer ring. They've killed many future generations by killing newborn babies. I never fed off a baby and never will. I deserve a chance at redemption. Where in this world can an ancient vampire like myself find the redemption he deserves?" I turned my attention to the door when a figure came in.

Grayson - Angel

The neighborhood I pass through sends chills down my spine. Hell might have been worse, obviously, but this place isn't the haven I'm looking for after my ten year sentence. Thirsty and in need of some refreshment, I step into a bar and freeze when nearly all eyes set on me. My wings tuck tighter into my back underneath my jacket and I try not to seem so intimidated.

Then I see him.

"Kain?"

Kain

"I know, I know, I hear ya, the big man is a big jerk and won't let you in for one mistake. Trust me when you do die and finally get sent to hell, with me I can promise you you won't be torchered, you'll act as my right hand man and over see all operations for the big man himself. You won't be tourchered oh and since you brought those two nasty piece of craps up your egyption gods had, had enough of them and sent them to me. There fools I tell ya, they tried to kill me and now I sealed them in a cage and dipping them in hot burning blood." I said putting my hand on his shoulder reassuringly.

At the sound of his voice I try my best to ignore it and drink down my wine wanting to totally ignore the voice that called my name even if it was him.

Fidelis Nemesis | Vampire

I pushed his hand off my shoulder. "I don't deserve hell. After all the goodness I've done since that night, I deserve what all Christian mortals deserve after death- I deserve heaven. I want to be redeemed of that mistake I made and finally be at peace with myself for all the good I've done. The Bloodlust Twins deserve your house for the infantcide they committed in their lives, but I deserve something worth my courage for standing up to them. I deserve to be free from all the suffering I had to endure to make it this far in my life. I don't want to go to hell because I've done nothing to deserve it. It might be unlikely for my kind, but I want to go to heaven because I've done so much goodness to redeem myself of that little mistake I made. Why hold just one mistake against me when I didn't know my given prey was an innocent until it was too late? I should've been redeemed, for I didn't know what I did until it was too late."
