Wish me luck, cause I going to take over their planet! MUHAHAHAHAHEHEHEHEHUHUHUHO!
Chapter Three: Nightclub Compromise
After what seemed like an eternity, the harsh sobs that had wracked Virulentia's body slowed and then quietly subsided as the vampire regained her composure.
Thank you Shido...Alright, we're meeting Cain tonight at the 'Siren's Allure' at ten p.m.. But we're leaving here at seven thirty p.m. so we can party a little before he arrives. And don't forget to dress sexily! We wouldn't want anyone in the Vampire Society thinking that I dress my companions shabbily, now do we." She told him as she shakily got back onto her feet.
"Now, go and get ready because it's six p.m.. I'll go and send notice to Cain to meet us there." She said to Shido, as she turned to walk away, hanging her head so that her bang affectively hid her eyes.
"Viru what if he does try to take me of hurt me? What will happen?" Shido asked her hesitantly.
Virulentia froze.
"Then he will learn how truly dangerous it is to cross the Vampire Queen..." She hissed with the promise of pain in her venomous tone. She turned slightly to look at him with glacial, narrowed eyes. There was a cruel and manic glint in those frigid orbs that sent chills through the souls of even the most bravest of men. Blood lust rolled off the vampiress in waves. But as soon as it had come, the look was gone. She pushed Shido out of the kitchen, giggling.
"...Hey, Viru! Maybe we'll find your Mate tonight! You never know!" Shido called as he sprinted up the stairs to his room. Once he got to the safety of his room he shuddered and let loose the whimper that he had been holding in ever since he had seen the slip in his Adopted Grandsire's childish mask. And for the first time, Shido was truly afraid of his friend, even though he knew she would never intentionally hurt him. He knew now how badly it had hurt Viru to lose her Mate(30), though he did not truly know how great the extent of the damage truly was.
"...Maybe, just maybe I will be able to save him this time..." Viru murmured quietly to herself as she summoned a Phoenix(31) to send the invitation to the meeting to Cain. She then went upstairs to draw herself a quick bath and to get ready to go to the club.
Cain's Castle in the Carpathian Mountains
Cain was strolling through the overgrown garden of his Summer home, trying to ignore the burning hole in his chest that told him his Mate was not by his side(32). Cain scoffed, he already knew that his Mate was missing, he should know, he had been chasing him for the last two hundred years! His train of thought was halted when a black and gold Phoenix alighted upon the arm of the statue of the weeping, robed woman in the dried up fountain. Cain sighed, after Shido had left it seemed like everything around him had just given up, like they had lost their will to live.
Cain quietly walked up to the Phoenix, which disturbingly instead of flying away like any other normal bird (mythical or otherwise), it just perched there, occasionally shifting it's body weight, and staring at him unnervingly. When he finally was standing in front of it, the Phoenix stretched his neck out to him and opened up his beak, letting a rolled up scroll fall to the ground in front of the perplexed vampire.
Intrigued, the golden haired vampire knelt down to retrieve the scroll. He noted that the scroll was written upon a heavy, expensive looking parchment, and was tied with a golden silk ribbon with black rose blossoms embroidered upon it(33). After the scroll was safely in the hands of its owner the Phoenix took flight, to return to its Master's home. Cain unraveled the parchment and began to read the note. The note read:
Dear Master Cain Corocal,
You are hereby cordially invited to convene with the Childe Shido Savernious (Formerly of the Corocal Line), And his Grandsire, who's identity shall remain undisclosed until the conference. You shall meet under the pretense that you will assemble to hopefully discuss and compromise on an agreement that will please both parties that are involved in your present predicament. If you will agree to the terms that you shall not attempt to abduct the Childe in question, that you shall not start arguments that initiate an exchange of blows, nor will you attempt to slay the Childe's escort; then you are to meet them at the Nightclub, 'Siren's Allure', at ten p.m. this very evening.
Sincerely,
An Anonymous Benefactor
Cain was pleased and amused by the time that he had finished reading the last line of the invitation. In terms this meant he might finally get something of what he wanted from his wayward Mate. He rushed to his castle to prepare for the undoubtedly long evening ahead with his new business partners.

#16. Blood Flavors: All people (and vampires) have a very distinct, and unique taste to their blood. The taste can be strengthened by certain strong emotions (fear, lust, happiness, anger, blood-lust an overwhelming urge to kill, sorrow, and love).
#17. Drinking Coffee: In other stories vampires can only drink blood. But in my story they can drink other liquids (and let's face it people, they're vampires, they wake up at night. At night there is no sun to blind you, to happy cheeping birds to annoy you, and no fuckin' morning people I swear those morning people are freaking insane! I mean you gotta be shittin' me. You cannot wake up, cheerfully fucking awake in the mornings, and not be holy-cow-fuckin'-nun-tippin'-ballsack-suckin' NUTS! to freakin' cruelly pry you from your blissful grogginess from being half awake in the mornings...Soooooo...They need to drink coffee at night (that's so obvious, but it just sounds so god-damned ridiculous) to help them wake up peace fully (well that at least goes for the other vampires, but poor Shido can't wake up peacefully because he lives with one of the most dreaded creatures known to the vampiric population, and that is a...A NIGHT PERSON VAMPIRE OH THE HORROR!).
#18. Rich Vampires: Vampires do need to make money you know. And Virulentia, like other Ancients and Masters, have had a good amount of time to stockpile their money.
#19.Siring: To Sire is to Turn a human into a vampire, and to take full responsibility for the Childe's physical and mental well-being and safety. Also they must teach their Childe how to take care of themselves, how to act amongst other vampires, their vampiric family, how to care for their health, how to fight, act amongst humans, how to fight, to hunt, earn a stockpile of wealth, and care for their own Childre, and also how to develop their powers and use them.
#20. Adoption: When a Sire cannot care for, abandons, abuses or mistreats their Childre of Childe it is possible for another (older, more better off, kinder, or more responsible) Master or Sire to Adopt the aforementioned Childre or Childe through willingly (both vampires must be willing or bearing no ill intentions towards each other) to be able to form a Sire-Childe or Grandsire-GrandChilde kind of Bond.
#21. Vampire BloodLines: All vampires originate from a certain Line of Vampires, each Line has its own powers that are unique to only the members of their Line. Though their are exceptions to this rule, for their is a Line (the Head of the Vampire Lines) that bears the powers of every Line. This Line is known as the Savernious Line.
#22.Fealty: Fealty is when the other Lines swear loyalty to another, stronger Line.
#23. Council of Elders: For every Line there is a Council of Elders. The Council is made up of the Eldest Vampires in the Line. There can be between six and twelve Elders to a Council depending on how large the Line is. The Head of the Council is the Second Eldest of the Line, the Eldest of the Line is the Head of Line and has the final say on whatever issues are brought before the Council. The Council is left to rule the Line if the Head of the Line is indisposed of or if the Head is dead, they rule until the Heir is found and settled or until the Heir is instated. They will also rule if the Heir is not of age, And they will rule becomes of Age to take the Title of the Head of the Line.
#24. Toy: A sex slave.
#25. Blood-Children: When two Vampires Mate in the utmost height of love. The Mates may be able to conceive a Blood-Childe. A Blood-Child is the actual, true, biological child of two Mates. The Submissive Mate is the one with the ability to bear and conceive the babe. And it is very rare for true Blood-Children to be conceived. And it is very rare for a child to survive to come to full term, much less survive the birth (which is both very stressful for both the 'Mother' and the child); and if the baby survives birth, then there is also the very high chance of the being killed by rival Lines, enemies, and Vampire Hunters before it grow to an age where it is fully capable of defending itself. Which is why if conceived the Mate is jealously guarded by their Dominant Mate and close Family. And that is why the successful birth and survival of a Blood Child is greatly celebrated.
#26. Heirs: The predetermined Heir to the Head of the Line. The Heir is chosen to rule the Line because of certain attributes that were essential to the proper ruler of a Line that they had. An Heir is determined if either there is more than one Blood-Childe (as rare as that is the ruler of a Line, if there is more than one Blood-Child, is not determined by age, but by whichever child is best suited by the List of Attributes needed to rule that were by the unknown Creator of the Vampire Lines the only Vampire who knows of the true origin of the Lines is the Ancient Master, Virulentia Savernious.
#27. Title: The position of being Head of a Line.
#28. The Savernious Line: The Savernious Line is considered to be the royalty of the Vampire Society. They hold a vast amount of power in and over the vampire community. But ironically, with all great amounts of wealth, age, influence, knowledge, and power, there are very few members of the Savernious Line. Because with the exceptions of past generations of the Heads of the Line, the most recent and powerful ruler of the Line have become (along with her kin) extremely fickle as to who is allowed to be initiated into the ranks of their Line, and the Line members have become an especially close-knit family under the influence of their current ruling Head, known solely as Virulentia, the Vampire Queen.
#29. The Corocal Line: The rival Line of the Savernious Live.
#30. Losing Your Mate: When a vampire loses their Mate they usually die not long after their Mate does. Unless the Vampire Gods allow for the Lost Mate to be reborn, though that rarely happens unless the Mate was not meant to die. Sometimes when one Mate dies the other will stay alive if she/he is pregnant with a Blood-Child, and even they will only stay alive long enough to carry the child to term and birth it, before dying. If a Vampire loses their Mate before they have been Turned and they have Bonded with them, then the vampire has to wait for their Mate to be reborn again. Sometimes Mates will go through countless rebirths before they are finally Mated and Bonded. In rare instances A vampire that loses their Mate will be so deeply infatuated with the Lost Intended Mate that they will go insane at the discovery of the death of their Intended Mate, this will especially happen if the Intended dies in an especially brutal fashion.
When a vampire happens to go insane with grief they tend to become incredibly aggressive, irrational, cruel, and relentless in their search for revenge against the murderer of their Intended. After vengeance is achieved, the vampires are fund to be inconsolable in their grief, and if left unattended will tend to neglect their own care for months in pursuit of searching for and awaiting the return of their Mate to the living world. That is why some Families are known to send their distraught siblings into a torpor (trance) and until the Mate is reborn the vampire will not awaken. Sadly though there are an unlucky few vampires that are to strong to be restrained and sent into the torpor and have to suffer in solitude and growing insanity until they find their Mate again.
#31. Summoning Birds: Each Line has their own Kind of messenger bird that they can summon. The Phoenix is the Summoning Bird of the Savernious Line.
#32. Burning hole in Your Heart: When a Vampire's Mate has runaway or disappeared, the Mate that is left behind is alerted to their absence by the feeling of having a burning through their heart.
#33. Line Colors and Crests: Each Line has their own unique set of colors and a crest (Line Symbol). The colors of Black and gold are the colors of the Savernious Line, and their crest is a black rose blossom against a gold (circular) background.
