THE COVEN: The Fallen Ones Jhansi: Teegan nodding slowly and speaking solemnly: Jhansi searching his eyes for the answer: Teegan sweeping his hair out of his eyes: Jhansi smiles at these words and pulls on his ruffled cuffs and straightens his black vest buttoning the last of the eight buttons on it. He straightens his ruffled collar and pulls his long strawberry blond hair back into a ponytail. He looks in the mirror next to the entrance of the open quarters. His small eyes with the low brows look back at him approvingly; his thin lips open into a smile revealing the fangs that sat sharply ready to bite! His pointed nose sat on his oval face so perfect a he rubs it absent mindedly. He turns back around to look at Teegan gazing at him lovingly; touching his cheek softly staring into his dark almond shaped eyes. Teegan smiles at his mentor showing his perfectly shaped teeth his fangs withdrawing from sight. His smile fades suddenly and he looks at Jhansi soberly shaking his head. Teegan in a whisper: Jhansi: Teegan: Jhansi wickedly with a menacing stare: ** Hiding in the mausoleum on the eastern side of the cemetery Russie sits cross-legged on the marble floor looking around at all the markers of the dead. She could feel the spirits around her holding her steady and keeping her calm. Trybin, unaware of their presence, keeps watch at the entrance way taking care to look back at his sister every so often. There’s a noise heard outside in the cemetery near their hiding place. Trybin turns around just in time to see a female in dark garments with a horned crown sitting atop her head. She had piercing black eyes and dark lips of crimson and earth and when she smiled long, severe fangs fall to her bottom lip almost stabbing it. She stands there with Russie in her grasp one thin, sharp nailed hand around Russie’s throat the other on the Russie’s temple. She penetrates the temple sticking one of the sharp nails into Russie’s mind searching methodically, cautious not to disturb the brain causing no harm. Trybin stands there stunned ready to puke all over himself as he watches in horror. The strange female then stares at Trybin telling him that if he were to make any sudden movements on her his sister would surely be greatly injured or worse—dead. Woman: Trybin: Woman: Trybin in shock: Woman laughing: Trybin: Woman: Trybin: Woman: With this the woman vanishes leaving no trace behind. Trybin stands there feeling helpless and terrible. He couldn’t save his sister and what’s worse he didn’t even try to. He sits there at the entrance crying for his sister who’d been taken to some unknown place to be used as some tool for destruction. He cries covering his face with both arms just like the angel statue in the cemetery and weeps. Back in the underground castle Jhansi storms through the foyer awaiting the arrival of Dartra with his gift that he’d waited for so long to capture. Teegan stands there next to his mentor and master with his master collar around his neck and this time a massively long, thick, silver chain going from his neck to a band around Jhansi’s wrist. Standing there next to Teegan is Kenny, another vampire who’d been summoned for other purposes. He stood there with his black and green straight-jacket like shirt on with two long slightly thick straps hanging down from the bottom, skin tight leather pants on and ankle combat boots on. He had rings on all of his ten beautifully delicate fingers. His gorgeous, round face held seduction captivating you with one deadly glance. He had three piercings in each ear, a lip ring, a nose ring with a chain that attached to one of his earrings of his left ear, three violent slits in his right eyebrow and an arrowhead eyebrow ring through it. He had long fingers with short manicured nails painted a dark purplish black. His pale pink lips puckered into a pout with his arms crossed over his chest. He wasn’t truly in the mood to be there but he had to; it was orders. His large almond shaped icy, gray eyes stare straight ahead as he, every so often, moves a piece of his long, shiny black hair that reached just past his shoulders out of his eyes. Standing there made him angry and he wondered how long he would be there. Jhansi: Kenny with a slight attitude: Jhansi suddenly pouncing on Kenny with one hand grabbing his chin: Kenny slightly snatches away from his coven leader and walks away. His tall 6’1 build held a grace about him as he disappeared out of the dark underground castle of the Eyisame Coven. Jhansi turns to face Teegan for he had a chore for him to take on. Jhansi: Teegan with a slight shyness in his eyes: Jhansi looking into Teegan’s child-like eyes: Teegan: Jhansi suddenly and violently shakes the chain that leads from his wrist to Teegan’s master collar. It shakes Teegan’s head with a jolt forcing him to stop talking at once. Jhansi looks at Teegan and smiles then pats him on the head. Teegan: ** Still sitting in the mausoleum Trybin has finally stopped crying. Now he was in thinking mode trying to figure out a way to save his sister when suddenly Michael is by his side with a light hand on his shoulder. He’d heard Trybin’s cries and made haste to come to his aide. This stunned Trybin since Michael didn’t know where he was and here he was in his hiding space looking into his contacted eyes smiling warmly. He wipes what’s left of Trybin’s tears then plants a soft kiss on his making Trybin shiver with delight inside. Trybin pulling away from the wanting kiss: Michael: Trybin: Michael:
Jhansi is sitting in the open quarters of the underground castle pensively wondering when Dartra would return. He’d been patiently waiting for three days and growing impatient as the days wore on. She’d promised him the time was ripe and that she’d have what she promised him since the last century he’d seen her. He got up from the dark brown Victorian couch and tossed one of its pillows to the floor. He then begins pacing back and forth when Teegan, his student and loyal follower walks in looking a bit timid. He stands there shyly waiting for permission to speak, for Jhansi ruled his world and secretly he loved him. His white, wavy hair hung a bit limp just under his round jaw. He has a “master” choker of three ring spikes around his neck, black spike wrists band on both wrists, leather pants with three straps wrapped around his legs, no shirt and combat boots. He stood with his arms behind his back and head down until Jhansi walks up to him and gently raises his face to have Teegan meet his gaze.
You come with news have you?
I do.
Well, out with it! What’s going on?
She will await you in the foyer by the frst gate of twilight to tell of what she knows. She smiles with promise of good fortune towards us.
The angels have found them. They have warned them of our coming! Dartra couldn't quiet the stone angel after using her. They threaten to expose Dartra.
The angels can only sit and weep upon their stones they can’t save them from the inevitable. Besides Dartra is more powerful than that silly stone figure.
But the angels have abandoned their posts just to warn them. They may interfere.
They can’t if they are dead.
My dear child it would be wise of you not to advance upon me. Don’t worry your sister is in great hands we will take great care of her, but she is needed for a greater purpose.
What could you possibly want with my sister? And who the hell are you?
I am Dartra, the dark oracle or Demon Seer as I mostly am called. I see into the future of my Coven. I am the reason I’ve been summoned here to take her. I’ve seen great things from this girl and her unborn child.
What! Russie’s not pregnant! She hasn’t been with anyone in several years! She's practically a virgin!!
I take pity on her for that, but don’t worry soon that will all end. She will carry on our coven’s next leader!
Like hell she will. I won’t let you get my sister pregnant with some monster’s child!
You have no choice. You can either play the hero and die or you can stand there and live to see another miserable day; take your chances if you like.
But-
There’s no use. I’ll be taking her with me now. There’s someone waiting for her.
My dear Kenny I request that you stop the intruder that will soon find us and want to take back my precious gift that I am about to receive. Dartra will be here at any moment and we are to move the moment she arrives. Is that understood?
If that is your order I shall act upon it. Any other request?
Yes there is—wipe that attitude before I am forced to do it myself.
Teegan my dear, I have something for you to do. When our guest arrives you are to wait in one of the chambers upon my next order. Do you understand this?
Master what am I about to take on? I dare hope it is something that will change my thinking of you forever.
My dear Teegan it is for the greater good of this Coven. You won’t change the way you feel about me. You have my word.
But master you haven’t yet told me—
That felt…good! Please master I beg of you…hurt me again!...
Michael how did you find me? How did you know where I was?
Tryb, there’s so much I need to tell you, but I can’t tell you here. You are in grave danger and so is your sister.
I know some evil lady named Dartra came and snatched away. They disappeared right before my eyes and all I did was stand here like a dope.
There was nothing you could do. Dartra is very powerful and she would’ve killed you in one movement and never thought twice about it. You’re lucky to still be alive. Now we have to go. There’s much work to do.
