Creatures of the Night discussion

...

Ana walked into the thrown room and sat in her seat, next to her parents. She watched as a mob of creatures were walked in. She yawned and wiped the blood from her mouth.

Ana watched them. She wondered if her father was seriously going to buy another slave. Him and her mother already had five each.
"Welcome slave keeper, what do I owe this honour?" The vampire king asked, his brown eyes calm.

Ana hears the growl and let's out a load hiss, warning the wolf.
"Anastasia!" The king hisses at his daughter.
Anna calms herself and retracts her fangs. She looks at the line of slaves and looks at their oras. They were all scared. pathetic she thought. She noticed the wolf girl wasn't afraid though, just angry. Ana though but said nothing.

The king listened to each and took in a few fairy slaves; since they were the most obedient and their blood tasted sweet. He eyed the wolf and thought about how often his daughter snuck out, "the wolf girl too," he stated.
The queen looked at him surprised; they only took in fairy slaves, wolfs were their enemies!

He looks down at the dog, "you shall not protect me, but instead my daughter."
Ana flinches and looks at her father in shock.
"She goes out during the day and needs someone to watch her," he stats, "are you capable of this?" He asks, "if not, I shall kill you self," the promise was more for the slave man.

The king nodded and gestured some slaves in, "take her to the kitchen," he demands.
The servants give a small bow an lead the wolf.
The king stands, "you shall be payed at the door like usual, sir. Have a pleasant day," he helped his queen to her feet and left.
Ana huffed and went to the kitchen.

The cooks make up everything she asks for within moments and lay the plates out on a table that has a single share.
"Ask if you need anything else," a male fairy says calmly.

Ana storms in and glares at the wolf, "I don't need you to protect me!"

Ana hisses, drawing out her fangs, "I don't need a companion ether!" She storms back out.

A female fairy comes over to the wolf girl, "if your going to watch over that girl, you should know a bit about her," she said softly. Fairies love to spread gossip.

"Alright, her name is Anastasia, but she prefers Ana. She spends the nights here at the palace and sneaks out during the day to explore and possibly find a feed. She likes to play with her food; she normally goes after attractive young men and sleeps with them before sucking them dry," the fairy went on, not quite rambling.

She shook her head, "she likes to make her own kills. She's a good fighter too, so be careful. Perhaps bring her a make to fest on when she can't find one? There has been a few times she hasn't been able to find someone and she starves until her next feed."

He looked at her and smiled. He gestured outside, "we have one in the fridge, but there are some deer in the barn if you would like," he offered softly.
The female fairy waited so she could show the girl where she would be sleeping.

He smiled gently, she seamed a lot nicer then the vampires, "sure, fallow me," he led her outside and to the barn, where a young vampire was feeding on a cow, "that's the prince, careful, he bites," it was a bad attempt at a joke, but the fairy didn't care.

He smiled wider and gestured to a few doe, "the pregnant one is off limits," he told her, "other then that, it's all yours."

He stood back and crossed his arms over his chest as he watched her. He had dark hair and bright green eyes with a tint of gold. His skin looked almost like a vampire's; pail and white, but had a shimmer to it.

He smiled, "feel better?"

He nodded and led her back to the kitchen.
The young prince was running around with a blood beard. He spotted the wolf and ran over, ready to attack.
The fairy lifted his hand and the boy bounced off of a fours field and landed on his butt.

The fairy looks at her in surprise, "it's amazing how vampires are at the top," he sounded offended. He led her the rest of the way and closed the door behind them when they entered the kitchen.
The female fairy smiled, "ready to see your room?"

The male fairy waves goodbye and goes back to work.

The female walks her threw the castle, "if you ever get lost, just ask. There's a servant at every door."

She nodded, "very good." She gestured to a door, "this is your room. It is connected to the princess' by a door."

((Continue in Anastasia's room?))

((I make the kitchen, I'll post there))

Azula crept into the palace. Her eyes narrowed. She slipped into the shadows and watched her surrounding. This was going to be kind of fun.... She smirked and twirled her dagger around.

Fairy slaves walked threw the halls, "the king and queen demand their feed," one stated.

((Maybe she could kill the queen of king?))

((Cool!! How about the queen and then she can be caught?))

Azula smirked and slipped behind the fairies. She crept behind them quietly. Maybe they could lead her to the chambers or something.

((Okay :3))

A female fairy went to the king and queen's room and knocked before opening the large door, "dinner is on it's way."
The king and queen both nodded.
The fairy stepped out.

It was time. She could finally get her revenge. As soon as she saw the queen she recognized her. She killed her family... Everyone she loved. Anger filled her quickly and soon she was moving quickly. In no time she was on top of the queen stabbing her, screaming as she did

The queen cried out in pain, the stake stabbed her heart and she gasped her last breath.
The king called his guards and they rushed in. A guard bit the intruder, knocking her out. They brought her to the dungeon.
The king grieved over the death of his queen.

Walking through the corridors, Ceryan saw nobody. Usually, the fairies constantly in his face would annoy him, but he felt himself weirded that he missed the annoyances when they weren't there. With no sign of anyone in the throne room, caution begins to set in, followed by worry and sheer panic

Ana frowned and looked around, "we're is everyone?"
A fairy ran over, "prince Anastasia!"
Ana looked at the fairy, "yes?" She asked, seeing the worry on the fairy's face, "what is it?"
"Your mother.., she's..."
Ana didn't give her time to finish. She ran as fast as she could to her parents room. She stopped in her stacks when she saw her mother's stone body, the stake still in her chest.

Taking a moment to react to Anastasia running off, he reaches the Monarchs Bedroom a moment later. He gazes upon the former queen's body, horror isn't the emotion that fills him, just guilt. Maybe if he was on duty... Maybe he could have done something. He turns to a nearby guard. "I trust you have the criminal in chains?" And the guard reply positively

Ana slowly approached her mother's bed side, hands shaking. She caressed her mother's cheek, holding back her tears. She looked at her father, who's face was filled with pain and anger, "your to be married before the next full moon," he ordered and stormed out of the room and to the dungeon.
Anastasia trembled and fell to her knees. She hid her face in the bedding and cried.

Ceryan didn't know who to react. His job was to leave the area, go into the dungeon and face the perpetrator. His desire was to comfort Anastasia. Damn, this wasn't the time for useless 'loyalties'. So strolls over, crouching and placing his hands on her shoulders as she wept.

"It's alright, we've got who did this, and they will pay dearly for what they've done." His guilt made him want to take his anger out on someone. He's usually go into the dungeon and have a session with a human punchbag, but Ana was taking this harder than him. She was his priority

She sniffled and nodded. After a long moment she looked at him, "I'm going to be forced to marry someone," she whispered to him. They both new that he wasn't a suitable mate for her, and that hurt her more then anything.

"We'll sort that when we get to it. Right now, we need to get you to bed. You need to rest, get this fully into your system. I'll deal with the person that did this. Hell, I'll even go back on my loyalty oath to your Father if it means you feel better." He says, wrapping his arms around her in a tight hug. He would take her to the prisoner, but he doesn't think that would be good for her in this state

She nodded and hugged him back sniffling.
Her brother climbed onto the bed and cuddled up to his mom's side, not fully understanding.
Ana stood and scooped up her brother. She carried him to her room.

Ceryan parts ways with Ana as she goes with her brother. I pace towards the dungeon, determined to interrogate the prisoner

Ana entered the thrown room and sat. She looked at her mother's empty thrown and her chest tightened. A part of her wished it had been her father.
The king stood, "bring in the young men!" He ordered.
Three vampires entered the room, each as handsome as the next, but none of them caught Ana's eye.
The king lab bed on as to young and another as to old. He smiled at the vampire that was around Ana's age and hight, "you two shall be wed in a month. Get to know each other."
Ana stood and left the thrown room. She ran down some halls and stopped when she couldn't hold it in. She leaned against the wall and cried.

He jogs to catch up to the nearest fairy. "Where's Ana? I-I mean Princess Anastasia?" He asks, stumbling slightly as he corrects himself. The fairy tells him about how she'd been summoned to the throne room, and Ceryan rushes in that direction

Ana cried until she heard someone running down the halls. She looked up and saw Ceryan. She pushed herself off the wall and ran to him.

He broke into a sprint, catching her as they met, and clutching her and she cried. This wasn't about her mother, this time, it was something different. A quick glance outside said it all...

"No..." Ceryan said in disbelief "your father has found you a husband, hasn't he?" He says, scared to here the answer

She nodded and sobbed harder. She trembled in his arms, "I don't want to marry him! I want to marry you!" Her heart felt heavy and she thought she might be sick.

"What did your father say about him? What's he like?" Ceryan says. Perhaps this man is a better guy for her. He would be a lot less busy, and he could look after her like Ceryan never could. Perhaps he was more suited to the job.

She shook her head, "he just picked him because he's my age," she sniffled. She held I to him, "let's run away."

"Ana, we need to stay, running away this time won't solve anything." Ceryan says. He was planning on running away, maybe, but Ana would be better off here, Protected behind walls, Protected by a man that had time to do a good job.

She looked at him painfully, "but... We had it planned out..." Her heart hurt, was he leaving her? "Y-you said we'd run off together..." She looked his face over.

"I said that I wanted to protect you. That means putting you first, and me second. I might need you, but you don't need me." He says, his jaw shaky and his legs trembling. He did it, he made the decision. Her before him, she needed to stay, he didn't. He'd done it. He looks her in the eyes, scared as to her reaction

She looked at him painfully, "please don't go," she begged, "your the only think that actually kept me here these last couple hundred years," she held into him tightly, "please," she hid her face into his chest and tried not to cry more.

He couldn't do it... If he holds on any longer it would be more painful for her.... More painful for him...

"Ana... Let's go see your father. If he blesses our marriage, then he'll forget all about any other suitor...right?"

She looked up at him with glossy eyes and nodded. Her father would understand, right? She took his hand in hers and prayed her father would bless it.

((I was thinking he says no, then when the wedding is going on, Ana says she can't marry what's his face and marries Ceryan right there? Or he can approve, up to you))

((Him not blessing it would be more natural for the king to say, and it's a thicker plot if he refuses))

((Very true))

Ana walked up to her father and held Ceyan's hand tightly.
The king looked at his daughter, his guard, then their hands, "what is the meaning of this!?"
