ON WITH THE STORY DAMNITTTTT!!
Syanne
Dumah lay in covered in blood and mud, his hair was matted and his muscular body battered. His eyes twitched every so often as he lay alone in the open. The night sky hung thick from the over casting clouds, he gave a ragged cough and began to move. Rolling onto his stomach he crawled up to a near by over turned tree and dug his talon into the old trunk, pulling himself up he began to observe his surroundings.
'Oh fuck!' he growled as a sharp pain ripped through his stomach. His hunger was becoming unbearable, to add to the problem he faced he was weak, injured and most likely surrounded by the enemy. Walking along he began to notice the dead bodies of fallen soldiers, both human and his own. 'Gah...' a small cry emerged from the bodies, as he walked towards the sound he noticed a young man crawling away from the pile of corpses; he was clutching his side and most definitely dying.
A perfect opportunity for a meal. Dumah smirked and grabbed the young human by the back of the neck. 'You should have lay quietly and died.' He whispered into his ear and tore at the young mans throat. Drinking deeply he could feel his energy coming back. Although it did not quench his thirst he felt more confident and began jogging through the forest. Looking for any other survivors. 'Die fiend!', 'Kill them all!' he could hear faint cries in the distance. Running he found open land and his warriors fighting against the human rebellion.
In the middle was Kimsan and Drevmar, fighting for all their worth. 'We are surrounded!' Kimsan called over the battle cries. She swung her sword towards a charging enemy and dodged his attack, sticking her sword into his back and then ripping it out, another three made their way towards her, being constantly banged into she stumbled forward right into them, ready to strike she held up her weapon blocking the attack. Pulling a dagger from her boot she stabbed it right into the soldier's calf and quickly jumped up. Panicing she began throwing punches and dodging weapons. Finally rage took over and she managed to behead at least four humans that blocked her path. Running up to Drevmar she noticed that there were less and less humans, in the distance she could see many running towards the forest. 'Cowards' she thought to herself.
Drevmar started swinging his doubles blades in all directions barely missing his own face and hacking down every human that he came into contact with. 'Joseph we had to retreat or we would surely die!' one of the human rebels called to his fellow breathlessly. 'I feel like a coward Duncan!', 'No! We could return and defeat the fiends once we have...' before he could finish his sentence both ran into what seemed like a brick wall. Stumbling back the largest vampire they had ever seen towered over them with a smirk across his face, his fangs glistening slightly. Chuckling he leaned forwards grabbed them both with each talon and tore into them, drinking deeply his mouth was covered in fresh hot blood. Feeling totally empowered he ran towards the dwindling battle.
'Idiots thought they could run…' 'Lord Dumah you are alive!' Drevmar called pointing towards a charging figure. Kimsan gasped and ran towards him. All the enemy troops stopped dead in their tracks looked amongst one another confused then ran for their lives. Dumah gave a loud laugh and breathed in loudly. 'Wonder why they ran?' Kimsan looked up at Dumah puzzled. 'Oh please Kimsan you didn't think a little ambush could kill me could you?' Kimsan looked over at Drevmar with a look of shock on her face. 'All due respects sire, that ambush should have killed the strongest vampire… both Kimsan and I had other troops to support us and we were even struggling!'
Dumah simply shook his head and made his way towards his own. 'Well it seems that we have won this battle! In but 7 nights time we shall make our way towards home!' With an almighty cheer the Dumahim made their way to their camps.
Two days had passed and for those days I lay in my bed mourning, none of the other clans had heard from the clan, they had surely been wiped out by the human rebels. Laying there constantly shedding bloody tears. The night I found out Turel had whispered me to also tell the news. He had come to the clan grounds to see how I was but refused to leave my chambers.
I felt like dying herself, I had never felt grief like this before, not only had I lost my love I had lost my two best friends. Zephon had told me not hours before that he had learned that a massive ambush had killed them all; the survivors were taken as prisoners. There was a soft knock at the door. 'Syanne it is me Ravard, it has been two days, I know how you must feel but please it is time that you feed.' I couldn't be bothered to answer.
Ravard opened the door slightly and made his way towards the bed, placing a chalice of fresh blood on the bedside table he sat down. 'Please, drink.' I sat up and began to drink from the chalice; the soothing taste of blood did little to comfort me.
My hair was tangled and face red and stained, my green eyes seemed a lot duller. 'Come now I will have a slave bring you the finest oils and clothes clean yourself up and we shall talk about the memorial service. Lord Kain will be arriving today to sort things out.' Stroking the back of my head he got up and left the extra chalice incase I decided to feed. In the meeting halls Turel sat reading up on Dumahs old collection of books, he had been waiting a while for Zephon, Syanne and Ravard to arrive to discuss the matters for Lord Kains meeting. He was begging to get irritated, taken out the band that held his incredibly long black hair he readjusted his hair. Syanne and Ravard he could understand waiting for but Zephon…he was never late for a meeting.
Soon the impatience got to him and he decided to seek everyone out for himself. Walking down the vast white halls he could hear mumbling from a nearby room, his gift always came in handy when it came to listening in. His large ears weren't just for show but had the most amazing hearing of any other of his brothers. Quietly walking past he could distinctively hear his brothers high pitched tone and another's, most likely one if his own whispering feverously to one an other.
' I told Syanne about Dumah's death.', 'I am sorry to hear that master how did she take it?', 'Badly but soon she will use me for her…comforts and this clan will be under my control, Lord Kain will be arriving soon, I have only to convince him that I am more than capable and everything will be mine. Poor poor Dumah...' Zephon gave a creaking laugh after that.
'How did he die sire?', 'You imbecile I have discussed this with you before! I had the bastard ambushed! Soon I'll have her to my own. I saw how jealous he was when she went near Turel. I wasn't going to be in the firing line of that oafs jealousy…so Dumah having to go into battle would be the perfect opportunity and the idiot thought it was out of the kindness of my heart.' Both gave a slight chuckle and continued to slander his name.
Turel marched back to the meeting room and placed his head in his hands. God's this could not be true. Zephon betray Dumah…for territory! He growled and clenched his fist. 'Lord Turel, I apologise for being so late, I have not been feeling so well since I found out of... well.' Turel stood up to greet me. He was amazed at how beautiful she looked even in grief. Her long hair fixed to perfection, she smelled sweet, and she had even had an attempt to powder her face slightly though it did not hide the pain from her face as she had more than likely intended it to do so. Her lips seemed swollen from the tears, his heart ached for her. Now he could understand why Zephon wanted the territory so badly, it came with a beautiful possession. Syanne. 'How are you my lord?' Her voice was low and hypnotic though quivered slightly. 'I am. Stunned to say the least.' I bowed my head and nodded.
With that Ravard entered and placed himself next to me. 'My lord, when will the others arrive?'. Turel shrugged. 'Raziel, Rahab and Melchiah should be arriving shortly. Lord Kain well…'. Both of them gave a slight nod of the head. They began chatting about trivial things both Ravard and Turel avoiding to upset her.
The doors opened loudly and Zephon, Raziel, Rahab and Melchaih arrived. They all gave a polite bow to Syanne and took their places around the table. Raziel the most handsome of Kains sons some of the girls would say thought I didn't think this was true at all. Rahab a quiet soul but fiercely obedient to Kain. His face had a shyness about it, like all of his brothers he had black hair that was tied back into a ponytail, his figure was well built but rather thin but not as much as Zephons. Melchiah poor soul, short and rather chubby even though I was rather fuller figured myself. He was the weakest and the shortest and not a bit of hair on him. I was taken out of my day dream when I realised I had to address them 'Lord's I am very sorry for your loss, Dumah was a very special person.' My voice was quivering more, Turel was on the edge incase she broke down into tears. 'My lady we are especially sorry for your loss, we all know how much you loved our brother.' How could they all be so strong in this time? She felt totally weak. I smiled weakly at them and looked down at the grain of the table. As they all sat talking I heard the scrapping of chairs against the floor.
All of them were standing to greet Kain. Again he came in with the air of royalty. I stood up and bowed in respect. He looked over at each and every single one of us and then took his place at the head of the table.
'I did not hold the meeting at the sanctuary due to my deepest…concerns about Dumahs passing you see. If this territory were to be left on its own with little security then the human rebels may invade. I have not been able to whisper Dumah so it is most likely that Dumah is dead. This comes to the concern about who will run this part of my land. Zephon I believe Dumah did entrust you with this area, but for geographical reasons I believe it would be beneficial if Turel gained this area. As he is situated closest.' I could see the surprise on all the lieutenants faces. For different reasons more than likely. Zephon looked more enraged, personally I was surprised at how calm he was about his third son's death.
I was more hurt by it than anything. 'My Lord! I was entrusted this territory by Dumah! For the past months I have been in charge and if not made this place better! Please sire reconsider.' Everyone looked over at Zephon with pure amazement. Next thing we all knew Zephon was flying half way across the room. Kain has used a telekinetic blast and with a sickening thud Zephon slammed up against a wall. 'Do not question me or it will be the end of you also Zephon.' He rubbed the back of his head and sat back down. I could see Raziel trying to hold back his laughter.
Ever since I became a vampire I have noticed Raziel had the best sense of humour. 'So it is settled the resituating of leadership to Dumahs territory will go to Turel.' Without saying another word he transported away. We all sat there stunned.
'You bastard!' Zephon screamed and stormed out. Turel looked at me and left. The other had to the most uncomfortable look upon their faces. Soon all of them left to attend to their own clans. Raziel however sat and spoke with Ravard and I to see how we were. 'Please stay for something to drink at least Raziel it is ashame you have come all this way for such a short meeting.' He nodded his hair falling into his piercing yellow eyes. 'And what an eventful short meeting at that.'
The three of us began to make our way to the dining area when Turel appeared and addressed Raziel. 'Raziel I must speak with you this is urgent.' Both bidding their soon return they left for Turel's chambers. Ravard and I made our way to the dining room and through the halls were the cries and curses of a rather enraged Zephon.
