Ulyena was dreading the night ahead of her. She barely ate any of her dinner that she had prepared for her and Scud. He was oddly excited about the trip to The House of Pain, and that somewhat worried her a bit.

"I'm not going in, but B will have cameras put up all around the place, so you really don't have to worry about anything." Scud told her as he ate.

She scoffed. "You're not the human that's going into a club full of vampires."

"No," he agreed. "I'm not, but some of the Bloodpack will be in there with you, and B." Scud paused and took another bite of his food. "What're you going to wear?"

Ulyena shrugged. "Don't know. Nyssa's supposed to be bringing me something to fit in down there."

"So most likely you'll be dressed in leather if Nyssa's bringing it." He chuckled.

Ulyena giggled at his words. Something about Scud made her mood lift a little bit. It may have been that smirk he wore when he had a joint in between his lips; it may have been the way his hair hid his blue eyes; or maybe it was his presence alone that warmed her heart. Either way, she liked the way he made her feel, and she'd only known him for less than a week.

"Iris." Reinhardt and Chupa walked up to her. "Nyssa got this for you." He tossed her a bag that was black and had 'Bloody Fantasies' written across the front.

"It's Ulyena." She said through gritted teeth.

"They call you Iris in the club." Chupa pointed out.

She sighed. "I'm not in the club, am I?"

"Hm." Reinhardt nodded. "I'll be watching you, girl. Give me a good show tonight; and judging by what's in that bag, I won't be disappointed." He winked as he a Chupa chuckled and walked off.

"The fuck was that all about?" Scud asked her.

Ulyena shook her head. "No idea." She reached her hand in the bag and pulled out the first garment that her fingers touched. When she pulled it out, Scud dropped his eating utensil and she hung her head. No wonder Reinhardt and Chupa had made such a big deal.

Scud and Whistler explained the gadgets to the Bloodpack as Nyssa told Ulyena the ropes of the dance floor. She would be dancing on the bar, and she was to decline all offers from men and women, because of her being a human, they would assume that she was a blood whore. Whoever of the Bloodpack was closest was to tell the people asking that she was theirs and she wasn't for sale.

"You'll be safe. Chupa, Reinhardt, Priest and Snowman will be there with you."

"Yeah," Chupa said with a wink. "We'll protect you, sweetheart."

"Oh yeah," She rolled her eyes. "I feel so safe." Then she looked at Nyssa. "I can't believe you're making me wear this." She motioned to her seven inch, thick heeled, leather lace up boots that came to her knees, and booty shorts that were all blood red lace; under them, she were a matching thong to cover her front. The black, leather top that cut off under her breasts was long sleeved and a triangle was cut out of the front, exposing over half of each breast. "I look like a gothic hooker."

"You'll fit in here." She said. "Besides, Scud hasn't looked away from you all night."

"Neither has Reinhardt or Chupa." Ulyena's eyes flicked over to the street kid. Nyssa was right, he was staring at her. What made her smile was that he wasn't focused on her legs, ass or breasts. As soon as her eyes moved to him, they met his and she suddenly felt like she could take on the world, let alone a club full of vampires.

She walked up to him and hugged him. "Wish me luck?"

"Luck." He smiled and held up the joint that he just lit. "Toke of the smokage?"

She nodded and took a long hit, then held it before blowing out a stream of smoke. "Much better. Thanks Scud. Don't get into any trouble, alright?"

"Oh, you know me." He said. "I'm a fucking angel."

"Whatever." He rolled her eyes as she giggled. "Be good, damn it." Before giving it a second thought, she kissed his cheek as she felt the buzz creep up on her. "Be safe."

"Yeah," he blushed. "You too."

"Hey, Ulyena." Whistler said. "You play it safe in there, alright?"

"I will." She said. "You stay safe, too." Ulyena walked to join the Bloodpack and Blade as Scud and Whistler took their places.

"Let's go." Blade said, and they all began walking into a building. They seemed to have entered through a back entrance before they walked down a long flight of stairs. They entered an all-white hall that was filled with a lot of weapons and things that their soul purpose was to make someone bleed. Then they stopped at a large door.

Nyssa turned to Blade and Ulyena. "You two are about to enter our world. You'll see things; feeding. Just remember why you are here, Blade."

"I haven't forgotten." Blade said.

The large door lifted and revealed a large, warehouse sized club. Lights were flashing, people were dancing and the sweet smell of sweat and blood hung in the air. "You can't be serious." Ulyena scoffed with a smile. As they stepped into the club, she noticed that people were carrying around trays of razor blades, and then she saw why. Two vampires, a man and a woman, put a blade in each other's mouths and then they started making out, hardcore. People were dry humping each other, dancing, drinking and a lot more. The loud music and the flashing lights were mixing with her buzz and it made her head spin. There were sights that interested her and some that disgusted her, like the man sticking a rod in a woman's open back wound, which she seemed to be enjoying. Her spine and muscles were showing and it about made Ulyena vomit. She saw the bar and walked to it, Chupa and Reinhardt following close behind. "Help me up, boys. Momma's got a crowd to please."
