Thread: A Hunter's Moon - Vampire RPG

"One last thing" She said as she felt herself getting to her feet, "I'm going to have to bite you tomorow...it's going to hurt, be prepared" She said quietly before she dissapeared out onto the streets.

It didnt' take her long to get home, not at her pace, she quickly cleared the gate and ran through the back door, once she was inside she slowed to a walk, and entered her fathers study.

Seth didn't turn to look at his daughter as she entered, one of his many, many vampira's where sitting on his desk giving her a look that said, 'you had him worried for a second'

"That was a close one Faith" Seths voice said coldly from behind the tall backed chair,
"If it happens again tomorow, i'm going to have to send you out with an escort" Faith inclined her head,
"Of course father" she answered with a slight bow.
"You can leave" He said after a moment, returning Faith full control of her body. She nodded a good night to his vampira and walked up to hre room.

She barely took notice of any of the elaboaratly expensive decore that her father had chosen, she b-lined for her laptop, determined to call the young man she was with and appologise for what happened tonight. It didn't take her long to find the clubs number, punching it into her cell she sat back at waited for an answer.

Ray walked away and began to rub at the make-up that he always had to use when he hunted. The tanned exterior started to fall away to revel pale skin and he ripped the eyepatch off to reveal a perfectly functional eye.
He looked at his cell phone briefly before making his way back to his apartment where he'd fall asleep instantly most likely.

"Hey, hey Rick." Anton called out. Rick didn't even hear him, he was busy serving more customers but his brain was far, far away. Anton hurried over impatiently tapping him on the shoulder.

"Hey wake up Rick, you got a phone call, man." Anton said.

"Who?" Rick asked, wondering who on earth would call him at work. A twinge of worry settled in his stomach, he immediately wondered if all was well back home with his parents.

"Dunno, some girl. Didn't say her name."

Even more perplexed, Rick went out the back, threaded his way through the store room and out to the back office where he would have some privacy. He closed the door of the tiny office, sat down at the desk and looked at the phone. Line 2 was flashing.

He picked up the receiver and pressed the button with a sigh.

"Hello?"

Faith smiled appon hearing his voice, she breathed in sharpy and lay back on her bed,
"Hey, Rick, this is Faith Hiraju, the girl you where talking to in the club tonight...I just wanted to call and appologise" She said a little quicker than she intended, knowing her cheeks would have flushed red if they could have.

"Oh," Rick's face flushed as a surge of adrenalin pumped through his veins. Her.

"Uh... are you alright?" he managed, "I hope that bastard didn't hurt you?"

Faith forced a laugh on the other end of the phone, well technically he didn't she thought to herself,
"No, he didn't. He was just a jilted ex, he's really a big softy, just not when vodka gets into his system" she paused slightly and looked up at her ceiling,
"Look, I'm going to be on the town again tomorow night, I was just gonna say if your working, is it an issue if i drop round to the club, I feel really bad about what happened, and would like to buy you a drink to make up for it, on your break of course, that's if your interested?" she shook her head, it wasn't normal for her to trip over her words, but for some reason she couldn't help it.

"I'm glad you're alright." Rick was relieved for her. He really wanted to see her again. Just to be able to look at something so perfect would be fine by him!

"Uh, sure. I'm not actually rostered on to work tomorrow..." Rick said, hoping to get the words out before she decided against coming.

"I'm actually, er, playing tomorrow night. But at another place, Kerbside. You know it?" he asked, trying to keep his voice casual, the note of hope under control. He struggled against the feeling that Kerbside wouldn't be her sort of place. It was much more laid back, less formal and people like her didn't frequent it.

"But I'll be working again at Vibrations on Sunday." he confirmed.

"Kerbside? That sound brillant, just give me a time." She said with a smile into the reciever, "Your a musition?" She asked with keen intrest forgetting that he was ment to be working, "What is it you play?" she couldn't help but laugh internally, gratefull he hadn't picked up on her last name.

"I'm playing just one set, they have a lot of others on." Rick said, this time fighting to keep the eagerness out of his voice. "I'm on from 11 till 12." he said.

"I play the guitar, and I sing." he answered. He was about to elaborate when his boss Dennis knocked pointedly on the window, then indicated his watch.

"I'm sorry Faith I have to go, get back to work. I'll see you tomorrow." he added.

Faith nodded in understanding her eyes darting over to the bar fridge in the corner of her room, she was hungry.
"Thats no issue, i should be getting some sleep anyway" She lied with a smile, "I appologise for keeping you from your work, I will see you tomorow" With that she hung up, and stood up off her bed all in one graceful movement before walking over to the fridge opening it to reveal bags of blood, taking one, she grabbed a wine glass from a cupboard just above it and filled before grabbing a book and heading to a comfortable looking recliner. She rarely needed to sleep, and this day would be no different, she would take the call from the hunter and tell him the change of plans then possibly catch a couple of hours.

Ray rolled restlessly in his sleep, groaning and moaning as he did so. His teeth were aching again.
Finally having enough he tried to untangle himself from the bed linen. It was stuck fast around him. He growled and tore it apart in frustration. Once free of the linen he stood up, completely nude, before walking across his open plan apartment. Walking past the open windows with their dawn light rays he made a beeline for the fridge. He opened it and almost recoiled at the pungent smell. Rotting garlic.
Now vampire's weren't really harmed by garlic but Ray was violently allergic to the stuff. He looked in the fridge and saw that the only blood pack was covered in rotting garlic. He gritted his teeth before swearing. It was getting more painful.
Swearing again he slammed the fridge door shut before backing up a bit. Reaching up he opened a drawer. He reached inside with a sense of dread. His hand withdrew from the drawer with a needle full off a red liquid. It wasn't all blood, most of it was actually a special kind of seditive that would disable most of his vampire traits. He paused a second before injecting himself in the arm. He growled loudly before throwing the used needle across the room.
He hated the needle. But it did stop him developing a craving for the blood. Disgruntled, he walked over to his phone. He picked up the receiver and punched in the girl's number a bit harder than he needed to.

The wine glass lay on the floor of Faith's room, her book open on the chairs arm rest. Faith however was down in her fathers study, listening to his plans for the following night. It was Faith's job to pick the place, her father mearly told her numbers and times.

"You will have to bring six back tomorow Faith" He snarled at her from his desk. Faith nodded knowing exactly why, because of the hunters little stunt, she hadn't brought anyone back, so the number had doubled.
"As you wish father" she paused and looked up "Dawn is approaching would you like me to escort you to your room?" she asked playing the good daughter.

Seth shook his head, his short blond hair falling around his eyes,
"Of those six, my daughter, one is going to be assigned your perminant body guard, so pick wisely" Faith fought down a smile, this worked out perfectly, the hunter would be able to be in the same proximity to her father that she was.
"Of course my father" She answered with a slight bow, "Is there anything else you require of me?" she asked quietly a small feeling in the pit of her stomach saying that the hunter would be calling her soon.
"Just that there will be a new outfit delievered for you to wear tonight, i cannot have the daughter of a wealthy buissness man seen in the same outfit twice." Faith looked him in the eye, she'd told him where she was going, Kerbside was no where flash, she could have worn anything out of her cuboard,
"Don't fret daughter, it's just a simple outfit, now be gone, I wish to sleep" He murmured coldly. Faith walked over to him and kissed his forehead before heading towards the door, her stomach was growling at her, which made no sence as she'd fed during the night,
"You will need to hunt, you hunger for fresh blood" Her fathers deep voice said as she opened the door,
"Stored blood can only sustain you for so long Faith"His could voice said with a laugh. Faith replied with a small growl,
"I'll die before i drink from a human again" With that she left the study the door swinging closed behind her, even she didn't believe her statement, she could feel it, her body was desperate for the sustanance of fresh blood.

She breathed out slowly as she entered her room, on her desk she could see the screen of her mobile flashing, she moved swiflty answering it,
"Faith Hiraju, who may I ask is calling?" She asked formally, just incase it wasn't her hunter, but one of her fathers, younger buisness assosiates.

Faith Hiraju, who may I ask is calling?

Ray growled down the phone,
"About bloody time you answered. I've been phoning for almost half and hour and if I-!" he stopped himself mid rant and sat down with a sigh, "I'm sorry, i haven't eaten well. Its the hunter."

Faith twitched, she'd been yelled at enough tonight,
"I'm really glad you just appologiesed or i would have hung up, i know what it's like to go hungry" She sighed shaking her head to clear it,
"There's been two small developments in our plan, I kinda got a date tonight at Kerbside so meet me there, just don't show up looking like you did last night please" She said quietly as the moans of her fathers vampira's met her ears from down the hall,
"The second is, your going to be working as my bodyguard, it's the closest i can get you to my father, is that good enough mr. Hunter?"

There's been two small developments in our plan, I kinda got a date tonight at Kerbside so meet me there, just don't show up looking like you did last night please

Ray smiled a little,
"Don't worry, my hunting gear is a disguise anyway. What time?" he asked as he waited for the second.

The second is, your going to be working as my bodyguard, it's the closest i can get you to my father, is that good enough mr. Hunter?"

Ray couldn't help himself. He laughed a little down the phone,
"A bodyguard huh? Irony or what?" he chuckled to himself a bit more, "Well that'll be more than close enough. But you might want to start calling me Ray in case someone's listening to you."
