Chapter Four: 'Siren's Allure' Soiree
Shido and Virulentia left their mansion dressed to kill. Shido was dressed in tight, black leather pants and knee-high boots with buckles that bound the boots closed in a line from his ankles to his knees. His loose fitting dark plum poets' silk shirt, was fitted over with a leather vest. And his light violet hair was plated back into a braid that hung heavily down his back. The braid was tied off at near the end with black silk ribbon that had a black rose blossom inside a golden circle at each end of it.
Viru wore a shimmering, gold, silk skirt that went down to a little above her knees, and was slit up to her mid-thigh The bottom and top hems end up both sides of the slits were embroidered with black grapevines and rose blossoms. She had on a tight, black silk tank top, that was embroidered with golden grapevines and rose blossoms along the bottom and top hems, and the straps were embroidered too. On her ankles and wrists were her thin golden anklets and bracelets. Her shoes of choice were black stiletto high heels. Her skeleton key necklace rested inside of her top and in her earlobes were earrings were set with a single ruby cut into the shape of a rose each. Viru wore her hair down with small chains of golden ivy vines with rubies cut into the shape of roses set into them for every inch of chain were randomly braided in to small braids in her hair.
Shido had similar chains braided into his braid, but hiss chains were silver and had sapphires instead of rubies cut into the rose shape. Both of them had on the family ring on their fingers. The ring had the family stone set into the center of the ring. The females rings were gold and had a ruby set into it with a swirl of golden ivy around the stone. The males rings were silver with a sapphire set into it with a swirl silver ivy around the stone. The males rings were also noticeably heavier and less delicate than the females rings.
Viru always wore her skeleton key necklace because not only did it signify that she was the Vampire Queen, but also that her King and Mate was also given one by the Vampire Gods at his birth, although his would be a light silver, have a sapphire set into it, and it would be heavier and less delicate then the Vampire Queen's necklace.
The pair arrived at the club by eight p.m.. By the time they arrived there was already a mile-long line of Vampires already waiting by the entrance to get in. Viru grabbed Shido's hand and led him to the head of the line.
"Hey, no gettin' in unless you're in line or on the list. The bouncer told them as he blocked their way.
Virulentia sighed. "I am Virulentia Savernous, and this is my companion, trusted advisor, and Grandchilde Shido Savernious. We're here to meet with the Master Cain." She answered him confidently with a small smile.
The large bouncer snorted in disbelief. "Hmph, yeah right, and I'm the Vampire Queen. Fine then , if you're so confident, show me your key."
Viru's eyes hardened. She grasped her necklace, and pulled it out from the top of her tank top. "Would this be the proof you're looking for?" She asked him coldly, while glaring at him.
The smirk was wiped right off his face and he instantly paled. "Yes I apologize Mistress! Please forgive my rudeness your Majesty!" He said hastily as he unclipped the thick velvet rope that barred the entrance and bowed.
After they left a vampire in the Long line asked him, "Who was she? Why'd she get in and not any of us!"
The bouncer glared at him. "That was Virulentia Savernious, one of the Ancients, and a very powerful Master Vampire. She's also the Head of the illustrious Savernoius Line, and the owner of this and many other clubs, and who knows how many other businesses. She's the Vampire Queen, but one of her less popular names, at least to her loyal subjects that is, is the "'Sorrowful Slayer Sovereign'."
"The 'Sorrowful Slayer Sovereign'?" The Younger vampire inquired.
"Yes. You see the Lady doesn't have a Mate, nor does she have any Childre. No one knows why except that about a millennia or so ago, as rumor has it, She was traveling along what is now the French countryside, when she stopped at a small town to stay the night. And as I was told she ran into a traveler of about seventeen years of age or so, and she became real close with him, if you know what I mean. A Vampire Hunter that had been tracking her for a while because he had mistaken her for the vampire that had killed his brother, and wanted revenge.
"When the villagers saw how friendly the Queen and stranger were, they ambushed and murdered the young man and hung his still-warm body in the town square. It turned out that the traveler was the Queen's Intended Mate, who she was going to Turn that very night. You see before she was turned her Highness was three quarters Nightbreed, so when she saw her Intended's body hanging there in the square; she flew into a rage and transformed into a demonic dark angel. Leathery, great black dragons' wings burst from her back, spraying almost black blood everywhere. Her eyes turned a bright, blood red crimson, bleeding over the whites of her eyes, leaving only black slit pupils surrounded by golden irises. And she grew razor-sharp talons, and her canine teeth elongated into inch long fangs. When she finished her inhuman screech of rage, she flew up into the sky and started to dive-bomb the townspeople. Lifting them up in her talons and tearing them apart in mid-air, burning buildings with black fire that she threw at the scattered locals.
"That very night she massacred the whole town, men woman and children alike. She spared no human. That night she reveled in their tortured screams of terror, and delighted in the sprays of their blood hitting her skin as she flayed them alive. Only one was lucky enough to escape, and he was a young vampire Childe, and his Sire stole the memories from his mind, otherwise he told no one of what he saw." The bouncer finished.
The vampire in line stood there with an awestruck and horrified look upon his face.

#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.
