Hello everyone. It's Theo again. I apologize for the long delay, but I've
been busy, and I've hardly had time to write this in the normal amount of
time it takes me. Anyway, onto the story.
Disclaimer: I do NOT own Legacy of Kain, Soul Reaver or its characters. I only own the idea fro this fic and any made-up characters I decide to add.

Chapter 4- The Hunt Begins
"Vae Vitcus!"
Kain use to cry when he was still a young vampire. Those were the days he had to restore the nine Pillars of Nosgoth. Yet, in the end, he became the Pillar of Balance and at his whim, he chose to damn it, along with the world. Corrupting the Pillar and Nosgoth to their core, never shall they return to their former beauty. But now, the words have no meaning to his ears. They were specters of the past that would never give him peace. Even now as he sits quietly in his new lair on the top floor of a business building overlooking New Anderny. He sat and thought as he mostly does. He was a patient man, especially when it is his first-born son who is out hunting for his former master. He began to see that Raziel was becoming his own master, not once obeying any order from an ancient vampire.
Come for me my child, Raziel. I can feel your presences nearby. Why do you not seek me out like you have before? Have I not been the one to order you to your death in the Abyss? Have I not been the one to destroy your beloved fledglings? Where do you tread now?"
Kains claws scratch his chin as a servant, once human, comes to his side.
In Felicia's apartment, Raziel stares out the window as the sun climbs higher into the sky. He had long forgotten what beauty the sky in Nosgoth once had, before the endless smoke covered it, to block the suns rays from killing vampires. But Raziel was beyond that. He was something else. His thoughts turned back to when he was a vampire. The beautiful child, Kain breathed life into when he was but a Seraphan corpse. From Seraphan to Vampire. From Vampire to Soul Reaver. What change will he make beyond what he is now? He didn't know. And perhaps didn't want to know.
"You're up awfully early."
Felicia yawned as she came from her room, her hair a mess, as well as her evening wear.
"I have no need for sleep. I hope I didn't disturb you."
He said as he half turned to her as she meekly walked by
"Naw... I needed to get up anyway."
She reached for the coffeepot and began to make herself some morning coffee. As it brewed, Felicia slumped in front of the machine, like a beggar staring at a delicious meal she couldn't have. Raziel found this somewhat curious, but didn't ask of it. Once there was a decent amount made, she quickly poured some into a mug and nearly drank the whole thing at once. Her shaggy, morning appearance didn't change much, but her stature did. She stood fully now, and her eyes were completely open.
"Strong stuff..."
She said.
"Wakes you up in no time. You want any?"
She offered. Raziel only looked at the black liquid and felt disgusted that even humans would drink such filth.
"No thank you. I'll pass."
He turned back to the window, and Felicia joined him.
"Whatcha looking at?"
"This city. So much different from Nosgoth."
"Homesick eh?"
"A little. But not enough to make me wish I was back."
Felicia saw his white eyes tightened as well as his clawed fist.
"Today, I will seek out Kain. If I can just find a place that had been touched by his influence, then I will have him."
"It's a big city. Do you know where to start?"
"Alas, I do not."
"Then maybe this'll help."
She reached for the T.V. remote and turned the set on. Selecting a channel, a news reporter appeared on the screen.
"... Thank you for that Sherry. Now to our tops story... Two bodies were found last night. One in an alleyway near 5th avenue, and another in the business district."
Raziel's attention fell to the man on the screen.
"Police have no connection as of yet, and the two victims had no relation. The body found near 5th avenue, had been severed in half..."
That was my work
Raziel thought
"...Where as the body found in the Business District had been drained of all bodily fluids...
And that's Kain!
"... There are no leads of yet, but one eye witness claims he say a man with long white hair. If you see this man, please call..."
Raziel shut of the T.V. set and turned to Felicia.
"Where's the Business District?"
"East of here, why?"
"That's where Kain is."
Raziel replied as he went for the door. Felicia, unable to understand his motivation and sudden cold tone, wondered
"What makes you think that?"
"Kain's a Vampire. A human without blood means a Vampire is near. That's where I'll find him."
Raziel then exited the door. Felicia quickly followed, not minding the fact she was still in her nightgown.
"Wait one minute! You mean you're going to go after him in broad daylight?"
"Yes."
"With so many humans about? One look of you and they'll call the police or the FBI, or worst... the Government."
She shuttered. Raziel stopped then turned to her before he went up the stairs.
"Look Felicia. I do not know what the FBI or this 'Government' are, but I know one thing. Kain's in the Business district and I plan to slay him there."
He attempted to go up the stairs to the roof, but Felicia grabbed his arm and forced him to stop.
"Let me change clothes and I'll go with you."
"That is not wise Felicia. Kain would kill you the moment he sees you with me. For your sake, stay far away."
And Raziel vanished up the stairs, leaving Felicia to look at where he once was.
"But I know the place better than you..."
She whispered, nearly heartbroken to the fact that Raziel didn't want her to be with him. She began to wonder why she felt she had to be near him. Was it because he saved her last night? No... It was something else. She couldn't quite place her finger on it, but something about Raziel attracted her to him.
Phttt look at me...
She thought as she returned to her room
I'm falling in love with a demon
TO BE CONTINUED

Sorry, but that's all I can think of for now. I'm running out of ideas on how to continue this story, and any ideas would be appreciated. Thank you.
Until Next Time ^_^
