Chosen- Vampire Saga

Joselyn

" Sir, I don't see why you feel the need to feed on children. They scream waaaay to much." I say to my Boss/Leader Braxton Lingnam.

" Joselyn," He says looking down at me fondly " You are still but a child yourself. And might I mention that it isn't your job to ask questions, but only to protect me?" He said with a smirk. Mr.Braxton still looked only 25 while he was literally coming up on his 626th birthday.

" I don't even see why you need protection when you know that you could probably take over a country." I say, rolling my eyes.

He laughs, and I can't help but feel the tiny tingles in my fingers and toes when I hear that deep, smooth laughter. Unlike the other Nobles, whom probably would have slapped me across the face for being disrespectful with them, I could play around with Mr. Braxton.

" I could, your right about that. But I would hate to see you get bored from not spilling any blood your self." he said with a wink at me.

"Why how considerate of you Mr.Braxton. Considering one of your thralls like that without any thought." I sigh with a roll of my eyes.

" Your much more than a thrall to me Joselyn, you know that." He says with true affection.

The funny thing is that I know he means it. For the past 160 years I have been Mr.Braxtons lover, assistant, and blood giver. And i've enjoyed it believe me. I mean Mr.Braxton may be one of the most attractive men on this earth. Just something about his messy dark auburn hair and forest green eyes and that muscular body just sucks me in every time. But lately, for some reason i've begun to grow tired of his movie star good looks. I'm not sure why but i just am. So I just dismiss Mr.Braxtons words with a shake of my head and we continue to walk in silence.

I'm thinking deeply when Mr.Braxton turns around and says something to the doctor guy Eric. I then begin to take the lead and walk solo up front while he speaks to them. After a few more yards I smell them. Those damn Chosen. I stop the group and protectively step in front of Mr.Braxton. And all I wanted was some blood in my system.

*A fourteen year old passing herself off as a grade-schooler yeah I can see the flaw in that.*

Zael:

Zael had no idea why he was trying to talk Ashai out of betraying the Order. Seriously, he could care less. Of course if Ashai switched sides he'd try and kill Zael. Like most of the Chosen Ashai had no idea of Zael's past. Because only royal vampires were born, he assumed that Zael had been transformed. It was a misconception Zael encouraged.

"You're a fool if you think they'll actually hold up their end of the bargain, Ashai. You don't know the first thing about vampiric society, so you can't read between the lines."

"What is that supposed to mean?" Ashai demanded.

"They offered you your heart's desire on a platter. That's an insult. They're saying that you're too weak to get what you want on your own." He smirked when Ashai turned bright red. "I can't believe you'd buy that 'Come to the dark side, we have cookies.' BS"

Zael shook is head. "I thought you had more pride then that." Turning, he walked away without a backwards glance. As he neared the school he summoned his wings from wherever the hell they went when he didn't need them. Jumping he beat them in the air and landed in a crouch on the gym roof. Quickly Zael moved to the other side of the building and peered down at the pack of bloodsuckers in the parking lot.

When he saw who they were is lip curled in a snarl, black wings spread out behind him, much like a cobra extending his hood. The vampires were looking around wildly but none of them looked up. Zael smelled like one of them so he didn't register on their senses.

Pursing his lips he whistled sharply to draw their attention. "Yo Brax, I should have known it was you when I heard a bootlicker was coming to town. You look good, still got some of my blood stashed away?"

A grin spread across the Noble's face and Zael fought the need to shudder. To vampires his blood was incredibly addictive. "Well if it isn't the bluhdsel, I thought you'd show up if I spread that rumor. Ready to go back in your cage? Your Uncle misses you Zharafel."

Crimson light sparked in Zael's hands until it formed the katanas that were his soul weapons. "Screw you Brax, if you think I'm ever coming back think again."

"Oh." Brax drawled. "That wasn't a request, it was an order."

Joselyn

"Mr.Braxton is that the boy you told me about?" I hiss in silent rage as my boss calmly address's that freak of nature. I could feel the toxic acid pooling in my mouth and sweating off my hands at the sense of danger. I spit some out to make room to speak and as the bright blue, cotton candy tasting acid hits the ground, it hiss's as it melted its way down.

I watch as the boys' soul weapons manifest in his hands, and as I stare at the katanas, I think about how fun it would be to slice sliver after sliver of a persons flesh with those. The blood sliding down and the terror filled screams make me feel so light and happy. I smile in delight then look at Mr.Braxton, waiting for him to give me an order.

" Joselyn, he seems to want to fight." Mr.Braxton says finally turning to me " If you don't mind i'd appreciate it if you could take care of him. Just don't kill him, maim him, drain him, or do anything to reckless." He says looking down at me sternly.

" Can I use my acid on him?" I ask innocently.

" Hell no! You know you'll burn him through and through with that. You have my permission to use your augmentation and bone knives on him. But anything else and there will be hell to pay. Literally." Mr.Braxton says with a sigh.

" Yes sir!" I exclaim, and jump daintily up to the roof where the boy is.

He looks me up and down for a second and then looks me in the eyes.

" Okay girl, to be honest I don't want to hurt you bu-" before he can finish i've cut a deep gash into his thigh with the sharp bone potruding out from my forefinger.

" Okay so Boss said not to maim, drain, or kill you. But he never said anything about cutting you." I say with a smile.

The boy bares his teeth at me and his wings unfold and spread from around him. I shake my head in displeasure at having to fight this guy. To make things quick I spread my augmentation around him like a shroud to take away a bit of the sharpness from his blades. Feeling himself weakening he strikes me quickly and pristinely. I back away quickly and he only succeeds in cutting deeply into my arm. Had he gotten what he wanted i wouldn't have an arm right now.

"Your quite the fighter" He says in admiration.

"You too" I say with a smile. He's pretty cute too. Those golden eyes contrasting on that pale white skin and his luxuriously silky black hair that I would love to run a hand through. Yeah he's definitely something fun to look at.

" Your good...but this fight has to end soon." He says then lunges at me, his katanas aimed straight for my chest.

*There are only two natural born vampires in existence, one is Zael. The other is his mother's twin brother, the Vampire King, who was born in ancient greece. If anyone wants to feel free to make a profile for him.*

Zael:

The girl moved like a snake, twisting fluidly to avoid the thrust at her heart. Instead Zael sliced a gash in her side. She reached up and grabbed the blade no doubt with the intention of disarming him. Zael gave a feral grin and sent a jolt of lightning racing down the blade.

She shrieked in pain and jumped out of range, Zael bit back a laugh when he saw her hair standing on end. Arcs of blue-white lighting snaked along the scarlet blades, making them glow. Zael brought his swords up into a guard position, taking comfort in the familiar weight of the steel in his hands.

He knew he wasn't her match physically. At just eighteen Zael was still a baby by vampire standards. He had yet to come into his true power, putting him at a distinct disadvantage. This fight was just starting, there were three other vamps waiting in the wings and Zael didn't think he could count on his back up this time. Meaning he'd have to get creative.

Ashai:
Now let me help, i say.
I manifest my soul weapons to deal with the trouble at hand, manipulating a flame from a lighter i carry across the blade of the sword
"Tell your boss my pride was a better offer," I say as I swing my weapon in an attempt to fend off the deadly vampires.

Spoiler

Profile is up back on the first page, everyone go check it out!

Brii Arsinoe

This was a one sided battle, this couldn't go on. I walk out of my hiding spot just as Joshlyn fired one of her bone spikes at the guy who had swung, I blocked it easily with my sword. Almost like an assassin I had crept onto the scene with little effort, Joshlyn backed up unsteadily watching me.

"What are you doing you fool?!" She yelled at me.

"Joshlyn, leave. These hunters are my fight, and mine alone. Go back to Mr.Braxton and tell him I'm fighting the hunters, he is to run." I said.

"What? If you haven't noticed, this is MY fight, not you'res!" She yelled.

"Joshlyn, if you want to meet your end at the end of my blade, I suggest you leave. Now." I order her.

She backed up unsteadily, the tip of my blade digging into her chin. But she couldn't back down could she? She launched her bone spikes at me and I spiced at them, and they crumbled away on impact, I channeled lightning into my sword and thrusted my Khoseh forward, the lightning released from it and shot at her with a terrible force, she ducks screaming, once she stops, she looks up bewildered.

"I said it once, I won't repeat myself. Leave, these hunters are mine." I said.

I noticed that the tables may have suddenly turned to the worst. As much as I knew of my manipulative abilities, I wasn't strong enough,at least not yet. I could already feel my control fading. With the lightning around the enemies sword and dimming fire on mine, I knew I had to flee to refeul. I quickly yelled to Zael to run to temp. cover so I could recharge, and I began to run.

Eric

As soon as the other young vampire appeared, I stepped closer to Braxton. "Who is she?" I whispered, my voice barely audible.

"I don't know," Braxton replied. "But she clearly doesn't know who we are. She thinks she can trick us that easily? Don't listen to a word she says."

I nodded slightly, and turned back to Joselyn and the other girl. Joselyn seemed to be figuring out her new opponent quickly, but the other vampire wouldn't back down. She seemed to be relying heavily on her hands...perhaps some blisters, or a few burns...or both...

"I said it once; I won't repeat myself," the other girl growled. "Leave, these hunters are mine."

"If they're yours, why didn't you get to them first?" I asked. She turned and glared at me, and I smirked back. As long as I could keep her angry, I could buy Joselyn as much time as she needed. This new vampire couldn't hurt me, not with my powers.

"You stay out of this," she growled.

"No," I said, suppressing a chuckled. "And do you really think it's wise to tell a Noble what to do? You can't be much older than Joselyn." The girl advanced toward me, sword out in front of her.

I started backing up slowly, away from Braxton and Joselyn. "I have to admit, the electrokinesis is impressive," I continued, with a gesture that brought my hands out in front of my face. "But you really ought to get to know your opponents before assuming you can beat them. Plus, you just lost the element of surprise..."

"Did I?" the girl challenged. I saw her legs tense, and a moment later, she pointed her sword at me, lightning crackling up the blade. I stood still, and waited until her electric storm had died down, the pain from the burns only a dull ache. She stepped back, and smiled smugly at me. My face must have looked pretty bad.

I smiled back at her as I felt the burns heal, and watched the grin slide off her face. "Interesting tactic," I commented. "But again, getting to know the opponents..." I looked down, and saw a few bloodstains on my collar. "You just ruined one of my favorite shirts. I hope you're happy."

Zael:

"Well now, this is a night for reunions isn't it." Zael thought as he flapped his wings and lofted into the air. He kept his gaze fixed on Brii, who had yet to recognize him. A handful of wingbeats and he was crouched in the bushes beside Ashai.

"Did you notice Charlottes no where to be seen." He panted "Maybe I'm not the only Chosen they're trying to turn."

Zael eyed him thoughtfully. "You might have a point there. Some of the stupider wouldn't think things through either. Hold on a sec, I wanna try something." Reaching out he grasped Ashai's shoulder, heat spiking up his arm. Ashai gave a hoarse scream as the flames around him changed, they became dark red with black hearts, and they were hotter. Much, much, hotter.

Ashai stared at his new flames, the look on his face half fear and half wonder. "What the hell did you just do Zael?"

He gave the other boy a sly glance. "Hell is exactly what I did, hellfire to be exact. That's infernal fire you've got there. You've always claimed your flames were hotter then hell. Now it's not just an empty boast. Normally, no human would ever be able to summon or control those flames, but I'm making an exception for you. For tonight only."

"What are you Zael?" He asked.

Zael briefly considered saying 'You're worst nightmare.' but it sounded like a cheesy movie line. Instead he said cryptically. "Don't ask questions you're not ready to know the answers to." He stood and readied his blades. "Ready for round two?"

"Thanks for the help, now I can handle these guys. Noone insults my pride." I said. "Now its time to meet a true threat. Ready Zael?" I say as I channel the hellfire onto my sword to create pure devastation power.

Brii

Egotistical chosen? True threat? Yea right if anything I was a true threat here, me and Zael anyhow. This was meaningless, my appearance here was meaningless, these stupid chosen needed to mature, they were overconfident and the vampires would crush them if this continued. This guy who called himself a true threat needed to get his rear end whooped, and this other vampire, I didn't know his name because I haven't heard anything about him. The voltage he received would have killed any normal human being, then again he wasn't normal, he was a vampire, and vampires can survive just about anything with the exception of Soul Weapon's and Sunlight.

"You all are a bunch of idiots." I said under my breath.

Braxton had retreated inside the school no doubt to feed, I walk towards the vampires, stopping at the guy who I had shocked earlier, I looked at him and he looked at me. Then continued along, I entered the school in hopes of finding Mr.Braxton, where ever the coward would hide. Walking though the school I hear screams of terror, Braxton was feeding and he didn't seem happy. I enter the gymnasium to find the place bloody and empty with the exception of childs bodies lying around, lights gleamed all around the gym, a thick silence in the air. No music played, the silence was so thick you could cut it with a knife.

"Ahh, Brii, so it's you, I couldn't make you out at first in the thick darkness." Braxton said as he leaned against the wall on stage.

"I've been wanting to meet with you about our plans for Panemonium." I said softly.

"Brii, do you realize just how torn you have Panemonium? People are torn between the rebellion and the Crown. No one in Panemonium knows what to do, or what to believe." He said.

"I understand, but if this works and Zael is ready, he can defeat his uncle in battle, you've seen the prophacy that he the king tries to hide from all other vampires, you've seen how scared he is of Zael. He knows Zael is comming for him, that's why we need to prepare Zael for anything." I said.

Spoiler

I'll change things as needed.

Joselyn

" Eric I need you to heal me." I say faintly to the other vampire. Suddenly I collapse and he rushes toward me, his hand glowing. As he holds his hand on my breast and his healing warmth spreads through me, I take a deep breath and flick on my augmentation to quicken up the process. Probably feeling his power getting stronger he looks down at me disapprovingly as my head lay's on his lap.

" Joselyn, you've really gotta work on cooling it. Braxton is a Noble so he can take care of himself from time to time." Eric says gently as he rebuild my power.

"I know that, you know that, the whole council and everyone in the Panemonium knows that. It's just that I don't have a choice in it ya know? Anytime I get so sick of Braxton I wanna stab myself in a temple with a spoon I still can't leave him because my blood is his blood." I say quietly " If either of us are away from each other for a long period of time our core's begin to ache and we yearn for each other like a nooby yearns for blood when he first awakens. It's always been like this, and will probably never end. So he'll have to be my future mate I guess." I say sadly. Saying the words out loud make it hurt even more.
When I'm finally strong enough I know what I have to do. I walk over to the other end of the roof where a few vamps are fighting with Zael and his little friend. I tell one of the others to go off and protect Mr.Braxton for me and then I fakely lunge at Zael and whisper " I need your help badly. This is not a trap. I'm begging you to please meet me in these woods tomorrow night. At ten." I quickly cut a long deep gash into my arm then scream and retreat. I can faintly hear Braxton screaming my name but I just jump of the roof and run back home, to the pandemonium.
