Event Number 3: A Masquerade (OPEN FOR ALL!)

Anita had been right. This party really did seem to involve reunions other than mingling. Some crazy reunions they seemed as well. One vampire was freaking out under a tree while a female vampire approached him. While some other guy was being punched by the…red headed angel? She’d rather stay out of that situation as well. As she strolled around the others, she wrinkled a bit in displeasure. She okay with the dress being whatever. But being uncomfortable was another story for Anita. She like stuff that was comfortable dressed on her.

What she wouldn’t do to get something at least bit comfortable than this. Anita thought to herself before pausing for a moment. In the corner of her eye, she had caught a glimpse of a fully clothed man sitting further away from the other prisoners and another male with wings. The one with the wings, although one of the black wings was broken, seem to be frantically switch from emotion to emotion and reaction to a different reaction. It seemed like a really crazy situation since the male got kicked in the face by the fully clothed male for glomping him.  

She covered her mouth to stifle her laughter at the winged man’s antics before freezing slightly in her place at the sound of the fully clothed male’s voice. Then a small smile formed upon her lips at a familiar voice. So this was the Hunter. It looked he was the only one really not following the dress code. Wasn’t that cute, Anita thought jokingly to herself. And wasn’t he damn lucky.  After watching the winged man leaved and head towards the blonde angel, Anita herself had started towards the Hunter. “Why not join in the fun? We don’t bite.” She smiled pleasantly in a teasing tone. Of course that was just her. She couldn't say the same about the others.

Those words made Lina's heart break. The fact he was not believing that she was his little sister hurt her. But what hurt most was that he was refusing to believe her, even with her special nickname for her. It hurt. But maybe she deserved it? She did keep hidden from him and their parents. Maybe she should've gone back and just try to live a normal life. Hide her lust for blood at the time and just let them know she was alive and okay. So maybe all of this was her fault? No, it was her fault! If she just went back and didn't abandon them he wouldn't be thinking she was a hallucination or something. Especially since she had no idea how to make him believe her. While thinking about this, her eyes stared right into his, just having a staring contest. Her face showing nothing but hurt. But unknown to both of them, the sadness she was feeling was slowly turning into being mad. All because she wanted him to believe in her and she didn't want to go through all that drama she knew that was gonna happen.

Lina's right hand turned to fist, squeezing the blood bag a little bit. She knew she needed to say something, and she was. "I understand you don't want to believe it's me, Dimitri. But who else would know my nickname for you? You really think if I was a hallunication or something they had created would I know about that nickname? No, I wouldn't! Because only you and I know that nickname! If anyone ever tried calling you that, you'd immediately shut them up! So don't you tell me not to call you that and I'm not who I am. I am Lina, I am your little sister, and I'm sorry I abandoned you, mom and dad! But when I was kidnapped and turned into what we are now, I was afraid to! I was afraid I would hurt you all. That I wouldn't be able to contain my lust for blood, and at the time I was a monster. It took me years to get onto animals' blood." Lina said, her voice raising a little bit, but breaking as well. Tears were falling from her eyes, but she was looking strong. That is, until she went on her knees to be at his eye level.

"I know I should've came back when I had control over my hunger. Actually I was there on your nineteenth birthday ready to make my appearance! But when I saw you I just couldn't, Tri! You seemed so happy and I didn't want to ruin that. I didn't want to open those wounds! I know I should've just walked in that day, but I just couldn't!! I kept picturing your faces when you all realized the monster I had become! How I didn't eat normal food anymore. And I knew, I knew you'd catch me going out late at night to go feed on an animal. And once you found out, I'd be interrogated. I was afraid, Dimitri, I was afraid you wouldn't love me anymore and cast me out! I just-." Lina gasped as she felt like she couldn't hold herself anymore. Tears were falling out of her eyes and she was shaking, finding herself becoming repetitive cause she had no idea if she was getting to him. The way he was looking at her was making it all frustrating. Lina looked down and closed her eyes and let out a few whimpers as she cried before looking up at him.


Lina couldn't take it anymore, she looked down at her arm, knowing she was going to have use the power she had learned over the years. And not caring if she got shocked, Lina immediately bit into her wrist and let the blood flow from it. Lina then looked up at Dimitri and with her mind, forced him to open her mouth. This made her collar shock her, but she didn't care. She went with it. And before Dimitri knew it her blood was now in his mouth. She forced him to drink the blood with her mind, and once he drank enough she stopped and pulled her wrist away from him. Now it wouldn't take long for him to have her memories of what happened, and thankfully it wouldn't hurt him. No, he will now see that she was who she said she was.. Even if she had to force her blood down his throat. But now her throat stung and part of her wished she didn't do that. But she knew she had to.

"We'll check later then." Chel nodded as Charlotte mentioned what was on the table, she was hungry and before the 'party' would be over she and Kale would have checked and eaten to satiety.
Her attention to the conversation between Charlotte and Kale was soon caught by a male voice, a voice that she immediately recognize "Phoebus." Chel smiled as she turned to see the blonde werewolf standing in front of her "So am I!" she moved on her tiptoes to hug him, even if neither him was spared from the Speedo's. But she didn't really mind, mostly because she still had to get used to that human convention of wearing dresses. What did matter was that he was still alive, and maybe they could find a way out together.


"I prefer the word 'triton', actually." Kale smirked crossing his arms. He didn't want to be rude with Charlotte; but just the idea that his sister had interacted with a vampire, putting his life in a possible danger made him nervous. And so he acted mistrustful, even if Charlotte tried to reassure him with her little speech.
As another prisoner approached first Chel and then the rest of the group, Kale couldn't help but let out another sigh. How many people did she meet?! How many people did she interact with?!
Not wanting another nudge from his sister, Kale took Phoebus' hand and shock it, as he did with the vampire girl "You suppose right. I'm Kale." he said studying the man in front of him. Another vampire maybe? It seemed that there were many.
"Phoebus and...?" he clicked his tongue, waiting to hear more from him.

Dean grimaced deeply at the sight of her cold smirk. He didn’t recall any memories of her with that cold of a smirk. And she was speaking about torture. What have these two angels been doing since the last time he saw them? It was slightly beginning to remind him of the days when Lonette had been acting strangely. The thought really didn’t please him at all.

He gritted his teeth before giving her a grim, spiteful smile.“I might just get reborn again. Wouldn’t that put a damper on your wish?” Dean chuckled softly under his breath as she threatened him, not wavering at the sight of her eyes flashing. Instead he flashed his molten gold eyes at her in a mocking way. Dean knew that he couldn’t do anything or even hurt Jessica. Physically, perhaps. But his powers were immune to her kind. Besides he could already feel that something was blocking his powers off for the time being.

“Don’t stray from your holy path. You’ve cursed yourself if you have.” He quickly grunted under his breath as his eyes shifted elsewhere over the party goers. Then he settled his gaze back onto Jessica. “I’ll take my chances. Now want to fill me in on this party? This doesn't seem right.” Dean was going to get answers. That was that.

Anita hummed softly with interest as she noticed his lack of emotion in his expression. “For your information, I haven’t bit anyone in this place since my abduction.” Anita remarked in a fake proud tone as she crossed her arms over her chest. She didn’t want to end up like her vicious mother. Not ever.

She quirked an eyebrow at this comment, before smirking a bit in amusement. “Thank you. I’m surprised myself. I only got called out for one kind of event. But my memory of it is hazy except for the part that I’m still alive after it.” Anita shrugged her shoulders a bit, as she glanced back over to the winged male who was still bugging the blonde angel.

“He’s quite persistent,” she murmured to herself, slightly intrigued before she retained her gaze upon the Hunter. “So how did you get so lucky with not ending up in most of the male’s fashion here?” she gestured to Hunter’s outfit before gesturing to the other males at the party.

"I was only responding to your lack of interest." Archangel stated, sipping more of his champagne. "Have as much fun as you want, just don't over step." He added, giving her waist a squeeze. Holli's "fun"s consisted of many things. 

Smirking to himself at the obvious pain that Dimitri was in with the little exchange with the redheaded vampire, he felt some satisfaction at the sight. Hearing some shouts, he looked over at Jessica in time to see her punch Dean. "Hmm, someone's awake." He hummed to himself, before someone shouted Holli's name. 

Seeing Moses coming at them, Archangel held back an eyetwitch. The stupid fallen angel always bothered him, even when he wasn't a fallen angel. "You and your sister have a bad habit of not killing things..." He mumbled, mostly to himself, as Hollie shocked the lunatic. Seeing Moses bounce back up was almost humourous.

Almost.


Odette gave him a sideglance and a smile at his chuckle. Her smile grew at his obvious delight in eating the apple he plucked off the table. "Nice to finally get some real food, huh?" She asked, eating a little of her steak. Biting her tongue, she manged to keep herself from letting out a moan of pure joy at the taste. "Okay... really good food..." She mumbled, after swallowing.

Nodding in agreement, she grabbed a glass from the table and took a sniff of it. "Champagne... Not drugged from what I can tell..." She said, thoughtfully. She really wished they had something that wasn't alcoholic, not that she didn't like a drink every once in awhile (though, still being under the legal drinking age has stopped her from induldging in a few drinks). 

"Could be... Seems like the girl is stating she's the person he knew..." She said, listening a little more, before shaking her head. "This place is just full of surprises." She mumbled, taking a sip of the alcohol, wanting something to drink.

Looking over the crowd that was slowly getting larger, Odette noticed the girl that was dressed like a Victoria Secrets model was still standing around, obviously feeling out of place and confused. Setting her drink down, Odette waved her over. "Hey! Come join us! We can help give you a small idea of where you are." She offered, before gesturing to the table, as if it was a prize on a game show. "And the foods good, not drugged in anyway from what I can tell." Giving the woman a kind look, she figured there had to be safety in numbers, right?


Dimitri scoffed at her words. She didn't know anything about hallucinations, did she? "If you are a hallucination from my own mind, you would know that nickname... Because I know it." He threw back at her, finally looking at her.

The more she spoke and the harder she held his gaze, the more tense and upset he got. Why is this happening now of all times?

He chuckled without mirth at her words, not being able to help himself. "You have noooo idea of what I've been through... Five hundred years... that's how long I've been here..." Suddenly, the words choked in his throat. Quickly, he ripped off the mask that he was wearing and just covered his eyes with his hand. "I'm not the man I used to be, Li..." He started, softly, but his voice breaking with emotion. "You've been a vampire all this time... I thought you were long gone, in Heaven, maybe? Not around to see me turned into this... I-I'm broken, Li..." He confessed, not caring in that moment if she was really there or not.

It was hard, letting himself go on like this... He'd tried in the past to end it all, but Holli and Jessica wouldn't let him.

Why couldn't they have mercy?

Wasn't God supposed to be merciful? It wasn't his fault he was a vampire.

"Li... they have a relic..." He whispered, softly, only for her ears. "I-It's said to be able to turn vampires, werewolves, back into humans... I... I had it... but then they found me... Been here ever since..." He looked up at her and gave her a smile that looked between crazed and broken. Tears were in the corner of his hazel eyes, ready to drop.

Before he could realize what was happen, his mouth was opening on it's own. The hell? He thought, not able to get the words out. Suddenly, her bleeding wrist was against her mouth. Her blood touched his lips and he tried to fight her off of him. He didn't want to drink her blood! Was she more insane than he was?!

He couldn't control his own mouth, it was drinking it on it's own. Was she doing this? How the hell could she be doing this?

Finally, he had control again and roughly pushed her away. Wiping his mouth he looked at her in shock and disbelief. "Are you insane?!" He shouted, trying to spit out what didn't go all the way down his throat.

Then, the visions started. He fell back against the tree, holding his head as the images came to him. It hurt! His head felt like it was about to explode. It took him a good while to figure out they were memories, her memories.

He groaned and hissed in pain, before he looked at her with new eyes. "L-Li?" He felt more broken then before, he now knew everything.

God, he wished he didn't know...

Charlotte rolled her eyes when Kale looked away from her. He was way too focused on his sister. She could understand him wanting to protect her but he needed to let go at least a little.

She looked at the man that spoke to Chel then turned to her. She smiled sweetly. She extended her hand. "Charlotte LA Bluff." she introduced herself as she did when she was in one of the many royal courts she was part of.

One thing she had learned to love about herself was that she could carry herself like a princess even when in a situation like this.

Phoebus was a little caught of guard by a sudden hug from Chel, but it was something he appreciated. At the introduction of the blonde vampire, he received her hand and placed a gentle kiss on the back. The woman seemed to act very royal which was something he probably should respect. "Pleasure to meet you Miss La Bluff."

When he heard Kale pause, he cleared his throat quickly. "Oh, my apologies. You probably want to know what I am. I'm a werewolf, well, partly anyways. I met your sister when we were paired in a cell together a while back. She's a wonderful girl, one of the best people I've met in this...place." A smirk flashed across his lips momentarily before he began surveying the room again. He probably shouldn't spend all his time with the same people. It could give the angels something more to use against him, even in the slightest. His gaze landed on a redhead standing across the courtyard who was suddenly left alone only a few minutes earlier as a result of the commotion between the two she had been talking to.

"Forgive me for intruding on your reunion. I'll go ahead and excuse myself. Wonderful to see you all." Phoebes directed the words to the group he had interrupted before excusing himself. He wondered if he should lay low and stay by himself or take the opportunity to meet as many people as he could. Before long, he began to make his way to the redhead. She seemed a little distraught, maybe even nervous. "Pardon me for the intrusion miss, but are you alright?" He glanced at the commotion between the two vampires to show her what he was referring to. "I've had a few awkward situations like that myself so I understand." Phoebus chuckled lightly, trying to lift her spirits.

Dean quirked an eyebrow at her remark before responding to her with a grimace. "Sadistic much?" He clicked his tongue in distaste. Not something he should really comment on. Since recently he had been acting more sadistic with his targets that primarily pissed him off. Before he could react to her demand, that painful, annoying shock was back again with vengeance. He gritted his teeth at the pain as his hand gripped at the grass tightly. What was with this collar and electric shocks! Once the shock was done with and the pain was subsiding, Dean glared up at Jessica with a frustrated expression.

"Well you sure sucked with noticing if someone was straying from the path!" Dean really wanted to force those words down his throat and hoped she didn't hear that. But it was the truth. if only Jessica or Holli had noticed. If only he had noticed sooner as well...He bit his lip harshly as he tried to pull away from the past. Yet a small chuckle slipped past his lips quickly. "I can lecture you all I want. I work for both light and dark, most of the time unwilling for your kind and demons."

Anita slightly rolled her eyes as she could see that the man didn’t seem to care at all. What he really needed was something like an emotion pill. Well at least he was interesting. That’s what mattered to her. “And eccentric as well. Even when getting kicked in the face by you.” She remarked in a humorous tone as she turned her gaze back over at the winged male. She would like to have an idea of him. He even looked like a puppy while trying to give that blonde angel flowers. Good grief, she really did have an interesting view on people, Anita thought to herself.

She turned her gaze back onto Hunter before rolling her eyes at his bare neck, showing that he didn’t have a color. “Both you and that shirtless male over there don’t have the collars. I know. It’s just that he’s shirtless and you’re fully clothed. Besides generous isn’t exactly the right word to define them,” Anita mused as she gazed around at the prisoners, not practically caring about how they looked in their outfits. But  the outfits did look really uncomfortable.

Phoebus chuckled lightly and glanced around the room. "I think everyone may feel a little out of place. This certainly isn't the kind of party you would expect to occur, considering where we are after all." He was still trying to piece together what the whole goal of this event was. Surely it was to gather some intell on the prisoners. Just reminding himself of where he was, where they all were, killed his spirits a little.
He was drawn out of his thoughts as she raised her hand to him in an introduction. "Phoebus." Lifting his hand, he gave her a gentle shake so he wouldn't make her feel any more awkward than she did at that moment. The fact that she was holding an empty bag that had once been filled with blood told him right away that she was a vampire, much like many of the others here. "I'm a werewolf, just in case you wanted to know. I'm sure you'd want to know who you were in here with." He had made that mistake already at his introduction with Kale, so he figured he might as well go ahead and get it out of the way.

Phoebus chuckled lightly as he ran a hand through his hair. "I must admit I am not all that familiar with the...pop culture aspect of it. I would assume it is for a majority, but I am a little bit different than the rest of my species." He found it hard to explain the complexity of himself to others so perhaps it was best to keep it all in the shadows. Although he would have to look into this pop culture side of things. It intrigued him to see what the legends had turned into.
"And what of the great vampire race? I've never met one such as yourself in person so I am interested in knowing if the legends are based on the reality or are pure fantasy."
