Come As You Are
I do not won Trinity Blood or it's canon characters. I do own Claude, Claudia, Ruth, and other OCs.
Beautiful Obsession
Thunder rolled in the distance, and a purpled smile stretched across the woman's face. It was days like this that made Claudia's blood churn with excitement. It was no matter that the Terren would probably just ruin her fun later, they always did, but she would just have to over look that. The accursed sun was setting in the distance, and most people in the streets below were scurrying back to their homes, which dawned a new day for the vampires.
Claudia yawned and stood from one of the many red velvet chairs that adorned this over luxurious hotel room. More thunder announced an inevitable storm. Slowly she danced lazily to a window, opening it as the rain began to fall. The sun was now fully past the mountains, and both moons began to shine brightly in an endless sky. "So nice….what a good omen." She whispered.
Pale lids partially covered deep blue eyes while the vampire took a deep breath of the earthy wet smells that intruded into the room. She took a moment to revel in the night air, before moving back to the chair. Her brother would be back any moment. Her smile widened. "One….." She placed a shiny black boot onto her left foot. "Two….." she repeated this with the other boot. "Three….." click click click
The vampire tapped her boot heels into the floor in time with her counting. "Four." The door to the room opened with a squeak.
"You're late."
Claude only grunted in response to his sibling. "What took you so long?"
Claudia's twin did not answer at first, but instead took off his dripping jacket.
"I hate him." He finally said.
Claudia blinked and then laughed. Claude's silver eyes filled with annoyance.
"So troublesome…." He grumbled, wringing rain out of his deep blue locks of hair. Jumping out of the chair, she sauntered over to her brother like a feline corning its prey.
"What troubles you, Geliebter?" She whispered. Click click click
The tapping of her heels mixing with her thick Germanic accent created a melody that immediately enraptured Claude. He closed his eyes and sighed. "Nothing troubles me Schwester." He turned from her.
Claudia tilted her head, but kept her amused smile. When her brother did not move from her, she gently grasped his hand and turned him to face her again. "Do you desire to know something brother?" She asked. He only grunted in reply.
"I hate him too."
Silver eyes opened in surprise. Claudia hates him?
Her smile slid easily into a smirk. "Yes, I hate him very much." The sister slid her pale hands across his cheeks to rest by his ears, and she pulled his face close to hers.
"He takes you away from me, and I don't like that. In fact, it makes me very angry. I'm starting to think you like him more than me." Claudia's breath grazed his ear and made her twin flinch.
What was she playing at?
"I thought I told you I hate him. If I say I hate him, then I despise him. Genug mit Ihren Spielen." Claude pushed her away with a frown. The woman smiled, but her eyes filled with a mixture of anger and rejection.
"What did he tell you?" she asked. 'Too calm...' Claude thought, looking her over for a moment before answering. "He wants us to visit the Fluer de Mal. Contra Mundi has seen no more use for the Hispania branch. They are traitors and need to be eliminated." He handed her a black bag, and she peered into it.
The female Methuselah smiled cruelly and licked her lips; a gesture that made Claude feel uneasy. "Perfect." she purred, already out the door. Personally, Claude hated grunt missions, and was dreading the thought of having to deal with the less established terrorist group, but he was not surprised that his siter was excited. She was nicknamed Queen of Bloodspill for a reason.
Mimicking the formers actions, the vampire moved out the door, and was in the streets within seconds. As he passed by, however, the desk clerk residing in the lobby gave him a nervous and obviously forced smile. She knew what he and his sibling were. "Terren will do anything for dinar, won't they? Even serve their supposedly sworn enemy." he thought, not returning the gesture. He was not concerned for the human girl's comfort.
Claude quicky matched his sister's stride through the wet and dim streets, attempting to ignore the constant patter of rain against his skin. Thunder boomed, and the water from Hispania's famous harbors churrned in tumoultous dance. Claudia turned to speak to him, but he could not hear past the screaming of the clouds. He did, however, catch one word: haste.
He only nodded, and felt the pringling feeling of his nervous system being excelerated. Haste mode was a physical ability that all vampires had; an ablility which allowed them inhance their speed and reaction time. Claude pulled his torso so low to the ground, he almost was face level with the tips of his boots, and then released the gathered potiental energy gathered in the tendons of his legs. He sprung from the ground and landed on the nearest rooftop before lightening could strike the sky again. Soon he and Claudia were nothing more than smeared blurs; the only evidence of their existence was the small tapping their boots made on the damp rooftops.
The two of them stopped in front of a small building, almost relative to a shack, and Claudia knocked on the door. A hatch on the door opened, and wary brown eyes inspected them. "Who is it?"
Claudia snickered and leaned close. "You know how I feel about pointless questions Ezekiel." she whispered. The hatch shut quickly, but the door did not open. She sighed in fake exasperation as she kicked the door from its hinges.
The startled vampires inside only sat still in awe as the two Orden members intruded into their haven. "My, my! We've been busy!" Claudia said clapping her hands, while looking over the group.
"Busy? What do you mean?" one asked. The female with silver hair only giggled and rocked back and forth on her heels. "I think you know what I mean." she answered.
Ezekiel, a stocky man with a baritone voice, moved forward. "We've done nothing wrong! We only did what you told us to do!" he screamed; sweat rolling down his shaven head.
"That's not what I've heard. I was told you've been visiting the Empire a lot lately. And not only have that, but you even had an informer you've been seeing. One that the Contra Mundi had not permitted you to see." Claudia tilted her head to the side; a gesture that seemed innocent, but had an underlying subtlety that dared no one challenge her statement.
Tension filled the small room. One vampire jumped suddenly and attempted an escape. Claude sighed and caught the man easily, however, and broke his legs. His screams killed any courage the others may have had.
"You have no proof!" Ezekiel screamed. Claudia showed them the black bag Claude gave her earlier, and spilled the contents on the floor. A blonde head rolled out onto the floor, and rested by Ezekiel's foot. The man's eyes grew wide. "No..."
Claudia's smile turned sympathetic, but her eyes mocked him. "Tell me, have you ever been to a Germanic opera?" she asked. Claude felt a twinge of nausea. He would not stay for her monster's feast.
He turned to leave as she began to hum.
As Claudia exited the hut, she wiped a bit of gore from her boot heel. Claude looked at her small frame and tried to ignore the splatters of blood on her face and clothes. "Did you eliminate them all?" he asked. She only nodded. He returned the nod. "I will tell Master of the mission completion." Her smile fell for a moment, and then returned again to rest on her pale face. "Always so busy brother." She commented lightly. He shrugged only then to turn and leave; the smell emanating from the small building made Claude wrinkle his nose.
Claudia soon followed his stride, and looked at her brother with her peripheral vision. He was handsome, even for a Methuselah, but no one would take him from her. No one, not even the Contra Mundi. She thought about her brother's return to see the master. He might be gone for a while, but he would be back for her. He would return to her no matter what. To Claudia, that was all that mattered.
Well I felt bad for not posting or updating or anything...but I've been in a block about what exactly I wanted to put for the forth chapter. I used different OCs, different settings, etc. Well it's not much at the moment, but I hope to post another chapter, and hopefully that one will start to progress the story (finally).
If anyone is reading, I hope to hear from you if you feel like reviewing, and tell me how you feel about it so far, what you would like to happen, and even suggestions on some characters you'd like to see.
Well...Shadow out.
