Rebellion IC

[Jinxed]

Marianna frowned as she watched Kayli and AJay leave, the look on her face uncharacteristically grim. The rebellion was a grim business, but Marianna always tried to keep a smile on her face, and embraced her childish personality. She liked that she could put smiles on people's faces sometimes. It made her feel good, especially considering she didn't do much else for the rebels. She just wasn't a fighter.

The child looked around, and realised that most of the vampires she was familiar with had already left. She then approached Mr. Futon, who was speaking to a vampire who looked kind of familiar, but whom she'd never spoken to before. Marianna didn't technically have any rights in the vampire community, because she'd never been freed. Because of this, she pretty much lived on the streets, and had trouble getting hold of blood. Which meant she wasn't afraid to ask people for it, Mr. Futon included.

"Mister Futon..." She started, stretching his name out a little as she looked up at him with wide eyes. "Do you know where I can get some blood? I'm hungry." She pouted at him, though she was smiling a little.

The life around Yellville became utterly quiet as Ramses approached, a sweet smell lingered in the air, it smelled like past lusts and loves, there was something familiar about this place, as if it held its arms around something that belonged to Ramses, something that was his that he lost a long time ago. “Hmmm…” Ramses pondered on this, his legs still moving in a blur, he was late for the meeting, only by twenty minutes but that was still twenty minutes of his comrades time that he had wasted, however, he would have to explain his little ‘problem’ he had half way to the city. It was a large city, filled with tower blocks that reached into the sky and then small factory buildings that dotted around outside, finally, Ramses emerged from the forest and onto the pavement of a road, his legs still moving extremely fast. ‘We arranged to meet at the bar down Crawley Avenue…’ Ramses thought to himself, his legs pounding down on the hard manmade floor coverings, the scent that he smelt still lingered in the air, painting the sky with emotion, it caused Ramses to stop for a moment, he took a big breath in and waited for a few seconds, he then turned around the corner and took another left, he had entered Crawley Avenue.

The bar was a medium size and full of vampires sipping on blood, most of them looked like grubby scroungers who had nothing to do with their lives other than spend all their money on blood to guzzle every night, however, there was a man sitting in the corner of the room, on his body he wore a black trench coat, black trousers, black boots and black sunglasses, his hair was black, short and wavy and he seemed to hide something behind his image, secrets maybe? Ramses was unsure, but he did know that this was his contact, and he was sure that his contact had seen him. Ramses began to push his way through the crowd, a few of the vampires scowled at him and one of them even turned and started yelling at him, threatening to punch his lights out, however Ramses ignored them, he did not want to start a brawl inside the bar on his first night of being in the city. When he had finally reached the table in the corner of the room, he took a seat on a stool and looked at the man who looked back at him, his arm underneath the table. Ramses sighed and grinned at the vampire. “That knife won’t do anything, drop it or put it away, I didn’t come here to fight.” The slight Egyptian accent accompanied the words that rolled off of Ramses’s tongue, he flicked his hand into his pockets and pulled out and handful of sand, crushing it inside his grasp and forming rock, he moved the rock downwards into the path of the knife, just as a bit of protection, the rock covered all of his legs but it was so thin that it was only noticeable if you looked directly at it, only a small example of Ramses’s morphing abilities. “Now, what’ve you found out?”…

Azura moved all around her post on the perimeter....listening to the thunder pattern as she rotated her head stretching her neck. When it was fully dark out keeping them well hidden everyone was able to move around up top to their liking. Moving to the west she stood stall pacing back and forth as if she was expecting something to happen.

Plenty of thunder...but no lightning. Very interesting.... She thought to herself for a long time; before doing something she hasn't done for almost 60 years. Gathering the air around her she let her long red locks free to flow with the swirling wind around. Moving her hands in rotation forming a specialized ball of collected wind that touched her body. Azura took a deep breath in, leaning into soft cupped hands...

" Ramses....." the one name escaped her lips, whispered with her sweetest voice and scent. One more long look at the thunder that suddenly stopped in the outskirts of the city; before blowing it out of her hands like a feather. The summoned swirling wind taking ball of iridescent blue away to roam the air searching for the name whispered from the woman.

Messing with a ring on her left ring finger enscribed in a language only very selected purebloods would remember; and that she never took off. Purposely moving it side to side, the pureblood grabbed the radio from her hip turning the dial up to communicate.

" Awright a' body oan patrol..eyes open oot thare something isnae richt aboot this nicht air sae lets keek alive." Hey everyone on patrol..eyes open out there something isn't right about this night air so lets look alive.

There was no need to contact Mr. Fulton she assured herself, it was just a wondering mind of someone who hasn't had her blood for the night yet. Leaning back against the short wall sitting on the edge somewhat she waited in her open breeze form this time keeping the radio volume up to listen to the bored whispered chatter of the others.

Mr. Futon blinked when Marianna approached. He knew of the little girl and he was naturally a kind helping soul. "Yes I can give you some blood sweetheart...I believe you know where the fridge in my room is?" the vampire offered. "Tedd will let you through the door." he added nodding to the guard by his office door.

Upstairs in a private sweet, Chiffton made a phone call. "All is well and going according to plan, just thought I would let you know I had arrived." there was a pause as whoever was on the other end spoke he chuckled "Dont worry." then hung up, a smile on his face.

Kayli and AJay had made it home and were sitting on their pourch again observing the unusual sky patterns. Something wasnt right and they both knew it.

To his surprise the man before him answer quickly ."There was a series of footprints leading here towards Yellville but they disappeared. It seems this man was smart enough to decide to cover his tracks. There were no other traces left. He or she could be in the city now..." Kasuka took a second to breath all that in. "So....the person is in this city and most likely is trying to lay low..." One of the very many things that he knew about the Vampire underworld was that even thou they have been accepted, vampires don't really like hanging around humans since they bring loads of unwanted attention. "I guess we both gained something here." Motioning to the photos yet again as young individual approached them, asking for blood.

Kasuka turned to look at this person fully, letting his mind race. '...young...asking for blood...means they were turned like I...but asking means they haven't been freed so they can't go to a Blood-Bank...' Something he was good at was reading people, another thing he learned and the only thing he didn't like since he was right 90% of the time. The man before him said something about a fridge, but Kasuka's nice nature took hold. "That won't be needed...here...." he said to the young vampire, reaching into his sleeve, pulling out two bags of blood and a jade necklace, handing all three to her. "....keep the necklance... it has been my good luck charm for nearly 1465 years...." He said with a smile, as he finished his sentence. "..I know your young...feel free to ask for anything...." He felt a slight amount of fear from the child over what was said at the meeting but didn't read too much into it. "I bet you are stronger then you look....want to go looking for a certain someone with me?" The someone was the vampire that had his work photographed. That vampire peaked Kasuka's interest and samurai spirit aswell.

After he finished his sentence, a chill crossed his spine, almost like earlier just before he came back to this room. 'What was that?' He thought to himself as confusion became noticable on his face. Snapping out of it, he bowed to both the young vampire before him and the man who hand the pictures. "I am sorry but there is something I have to look into and I honestly don't know what it is yet." Rasing from the bow and walking for the exit, he stopped. Looking at the young vampire, he said, "If you don't want to follow me thats fine....my feelings won't get hurt, but I will protect you and you would get some well needed field experience since you are a rebel here." His smile showed as he took off in a hard sprint to the roof.

'Ok...why am I here...what do I need to see?' Thinking as he jumped around until he got the very tip of the building. The sky took a hold of him, and once more something told him to watch is back.

The necklace

[Jinxed]

Marianna's face lit up with a smile, and she put the necklace around her neck, before following Kasuka. As she ran to catch up with him, she made the change from girl to cat, finding the smaller and swifter form easier to move about in.

She caught up to Kasuka easily, the jade necklace he gave her hanging from her neck. She meowed happily, giving him a cat's equivalent to a smile, before changing back into a child.

"I didn't get to introduce myself. I'm Marianna. How can I help?"

Mika sits alone in the abounded house that once housed her family. It had been a couple of weeks since the murder of her family. She sips blood wine from a small glass as she stares out the window. “Those little demons…they say I’m weak… that losing my family was for the best…” just thinking of the conversation she had with Saxton brothers made her even more upset. “I will show them how weak I am…I will destroy them the same way my family was.” She smiles an evil grin as she looks up the street to where the Summit set.

Suddenly her attention was drawn away from the window as she hears the door open. A tall man stands in the door way his faces and body is covered making it hard for her to tell his identity. “Who the hell are you? And what are you doing in my home? “She said in an angered tone. The man walks in and sits a paper on the table and turns leaving out the door. Mika stands there a moment before she makes her way toward the paper.

“There was a meeting in Yellville today the rebels are planning an attack. Here is your chance Mika you want revenge…You want to watch the Brothers fall… Here is the way. Go to Yellville… join the rebels in their battle. But beware the brothers are not stupid… They know you and your temper but most of all they know you’re a threat. If you leave Capital City they’re going to know… They well send men to kill you so you must be smart about it…”

Mika looked over the paper then ran to the door to see which way the strange man had went, but she was too late. She closes the door and looks over the paper over and over. “Yellville” she said then goes to an old desk and pulls out a map searching for the city. She packs a bag of supplies and a map, and makes her way out the door. As she walks down the street feeling the eyes of the pure bloods on her she notices a man following her as she heads toward the woods.

She stops and stares deep into his eyes not blinking or moving and smiles “Thank you so much for walking me this far but its best you go now” The man’s eyes fluttered a little before nodding and walking away. She smiles and snaps the bag around her waist and over her shoulders she knew it would only be a couple of minutes before he realized what had happen. She shifts into a hound and runs throw the woods on her way to Yellville.

Kasuka, looked at the girl. "Marianna....I'm honored to meet you." He finished with a bow. "I am Kasuka Ogawa." He looked back up at the girl that was next to him, '..shape shifting into a cat....never saw or heard of that power before...' Turning to fully face her, he reached into his kamono and grabbed his tanto, (if you want to know what his wepons look like, there is a pic on his profile, the tanto is the smallest blade in the pic) , and handed it to the girl. "I have noticed you don't have something to protect yourself, so please take this...even thou you can turn into a cat to flee your enemey, a cat must have claws just incase it is cornered by rabid animals." The gold design on the blue sheath glowed in the moonlight, making it look as if it was the holy grail of all bladed weapons. "Beta-Wolf...is the name my father gave to it, and one that I have come to trust.....this blade saved my life several times, trust in it and it will protect you....the blade alone can cut through 5 men all in a single slash, that I have test myself before I became a vampire....as of now I am handing you a weapon to protect yourself...nothing more." His eyes were of a protective nature as he looked at Marianna, not wanting anything to happen to her since she reminded Kasuka of someone he came to love many a year ago.

Like a cold breeze from the artic, Kasuka sensed a yearning to return to the meeting room, yet he didn't want to leave the roof since something drove him up here in the first place. "...I came up here looking for any sign to help me find a very dangerous individual, and now something calls me back down to the meeting room...Marianna, I would really like if you could become my eyes and ears up here, please look or find something that might help me and when I get back, I promise you, I will help you, that is if you want the help, in getting your freedom like I have obtained...." He moved around and a few steps past the girl without lifting his feet, "...I hardly ask for it, but Marianna, I need help with this so can you help me?" And before he could hear a answer he was gone, turning himself into mist, passing through the flooring and forming yet again in the meeting room that has now become void of a single person.

Standing in the middle of the dark room, Kasuka closed his eyes, taking deep breaths, searching his mind as to why he was now back in this room for a third time. "If anyone is here....make your presence known."

Chiffton had been in the room given him for a while now. He had gotten onto the database and given the names of the purebloods he found to be the best targets to Futon so that he could compile the spreadsheet to be posted the following night. As he sat he felt something brushing his mind once more. He had felt it earlier, twice in fact. He had an idea of its source but now was the time to figure out what, or who, it was. Chiffton disappeared into the shadows then, using them like some sort of hidden pathway. It was how he traveled...walk into a shadow here walk out of one there.

Walking out into the meeting room he smiled. His assumptions had been correct.

"No need to ask me twice friend. Im right here. Now would you like to know whats happening to you...Kasuka?" yes he knew the other vamps name "See im the one who originally hired you and I happen to know of your age and experience. Your begining to gain your sixth sense...all old vampires gain it, and weather you believe it or not I am much older then even you. Ive mastered this ability. You mind will tell you things...lead you places...one day you will be in a fight and wonder 'why did i do that?' and it will be your inner mind moving your body." he stopped and laughed to himself "Its quite amazing, and I can help you learn to control it Kasuka...I just want to request your help first."

Motioning for the other vampire to follow him, Chiffton opened a door and lead Kasuka to his private room. Entering he shut the door behind them.

-----

About an hour later Kasuka emerged with a check, a very hefty check. Chiffton was smiling from his desk. "Thank you Kasuka...now do as your told. Oh! and go find Marriana...you dont want her in trouble do you?"

Kasuka was going to be at the captiol battle, that was now certain. He was also charged to find and keep tabs on the mystery assasin from earlier. Chiffton wanted to know what he was doing, he also had reason to believe there were two men in the city who were a threat to the rebels but he had resfused to disclose his sources, instead leaving it up to the samurai to decide his next move. He knew his mission now, and Chiffton was confident he wouldnt fail it.

---------------

At their apartment Kayli had given herself a good enough buzz to decide it was time for bed. AJay stayed awake though, the weather was bizzare and he had a bad feeling the next night wouldnt be a wonderful one. The rebels were going to make the biggest move they had ever made the entire war...it was a fairly scary time for a young vampire, but AJay had already decided he wouldnt back down easily from the challenge. He was out to destroy the murders who had destroyed his life as a child...he would do whatever it took.

[Jinxed]

Once Kasuka left, Marianna stood almost perfectly still, clenching the hilt of the tanto in her hand. She stared off into the distance, letting her relaxed gaze take in everything that was happening in the streets below. Though she seemed disinterested, she had long before found that it was the easiest way to watch the world. You easily missed things when you were focused on something specific, because you might not be looking in the right place.

"A cat must have claws, huh?" Marianna muttered to herself. It was a valid point, just one that Marianna had never considered before. She was used to just staying out of the way of trouble, no one paid attention to a child, after all. Standing still on the rooftop, Marianna's usual air of childishness was gone, and a sense of sadness lurked behind her eyes. Eleven years... Many of the people she had met since then had wanted her to grow up. Technically, she was eighteen. She was too old for cute toys and temper tantrums. But she still looked like a kid, and that false innocence was her only defense. She didn't want to change, and no one could make her.

But here she was, holding a weapon. Sure, it was for self-defense, and there was no way she'd use it for otherwise. But she had never really pursued an active part in the rebellion, and here she was, helping Kasuka. She liked the thought of being helpful, and decided for the time being not to worry; she probably wouldn't need to use Beta-Wolf anyway. She then decided to sit at the edge of the rooftop, her feet dangling over the side of the building as she continued to watch her surroundings and wait for Kasuka to get back.
