She didn't know what song was on, nor did she care. She was having a blast as she danced up on the bar. Men and women were buying her drinks and some had even asked her to join in on a feed or two. Chupa and Reinhardt took turns telling them that she was theirs and that she wasn't to be messed with. But there was always the difficult one who wouldn't take no for an answer.

"Come on, baby." He flashed his fangs as he smiled. "Give me a private dance." His black hair hung to his shoulders and his eyes were a yellowish-amber color. His skin was an alabaster shade and the all black outfit he wore made him look even paler.

She shook her head with a smirk and went back to dancing, scanning the crowd for anything that looked suspicious.

"Playing hard to get, huh? I see." He attempted to hop up on the bar, but Chupa grabbed his arm.

"Back off." He said in a low voice. "She's mine."

"I don't see any marks on her."

"I told you, she's mine. Beat it." Chupa seemed to be getting angry.

"Prove it." He said.

Chupa ignored the other vampire's request and helped Ulyena off of the bar. "Let's go." He told her, and then began leading her through the large crowd of vampires. When they entered an almost deserted hall, he pulled her close to his side. "He's following us, so whatever happens, play along." Before giving her a chance to answer, he pushed her into a room and backed her against a wall. His gun clattered to the floor as he pressed his lips to hers. It was a hot, sloppy kiss with not passion at all. His lips moved to her neck and his hands were messing with her shorts. They slid down her legs as he used his fingers to pleasure her. She threw her head back and moaned, his fingers working furiously at her folds. He pinched her clit and she cried out softly.

"Oh, God." She fumbled with his pants. Ulyena couldn't take it anymore. She hadn't been with anyone for a while, and what he was doing was making her want to be fucked until she saw stars.

"As much as I like that, that's not my name." Her thong didn't get in the way as he picked her up and slammed himself into her. She wrapped her legs around him, crying out at his size as he pounded her cunt. Her mind slowly drifted back towards Scud. The way he looked at her, the way his lips curved, the way his muscles in his arms seemed to ripple with every movement he made, that certain twinkle he'd get in his eye when someone needed him to do something. She imagined that it was him fucking her instead of Chupa, and at this thought, she arched her back as she felt her climax approach. Finally, she let herself go at the thought of Scud getting her off. "Yes!" Her walls clenched around him as he released himself into her. His fangs extended and pierced her skin. She felt the energy slowly drain from her as he drank. She opened her eyes and noticed that the man who approached her was watching them.

When he was done, she felt the energy slowly return. He bent over and picked up her shorts. "These belong to you." She smiled and put them on, not speaking. She didn't say anything because she wanted to think as they walked back to the club. She thought about the bite marks on her neck, about the club, but mostly about the name she really wanted to call out as she came. Scud.


It all happened so fast. The reapers had surprised them all at the same time. Everyone had run out of the club when the gunfire started; everyone except Blade, the Bloodpack and Ulyena. Chupa, Reinhardt, Snowman, Priest and Assad were fighting reapers, and Lighthammer, Verlaine, Nyssa and Blade were nowhere to be found. The only thing that Ulyena could think of was to run down the now abandoned hallway as she struggled not to panic. Her heels slowed her down a little, but other than that, she felt like she was going to make it to where ever she was running. That was until someone grabbed her from behind and pulled her into a room behind a curtain.

A hand yanked her hair, causing her to cry out in a sharp yelp. "Mm," A man hummed. "You smell so sweet. I see that someone has already beat me to you." She couldn't see his face, but she knew that voice. It was the man that attacked her that night after she got off work.

"Nomak." She said, remembering what Blade had told her.

"Yes." He said. "You remember. There are things you need to know." His grip loosened on her hair, but she still didn't let go. "I'm not going to kill you, so stop wiggling. You and I; we're more of the same than you may think."

Ulyena was confused now. "What do you mean?"

He didn't have time to answer, because Blade suddenly showed up and ordered her to duck. A sudden loud ringing filled her ears after his gun went off and Nomak immediately let go of her. Nyssa grabbed her hand and told her to go somewhere. Ulyena's ears were still ringing, but she understood wheat Nyssa was trying to tell her. She pointed straight, then left, then right, and then went back to help Blade. Ulyena ran in the direction that Nyssa had said, and ended up in a lounge.

Priest was lying on the floor, screaming and breathing heavily. Nyssa rushed past her to Priest's side. Chupa was holding him down by his neck as Blade came into the room. How long had she been standing there, just staring at the scene unfolding in front of her? Five minutes? Ten? She didn't know, but she started going into panic mode as Priest began to change into something horrific. His chin began to split and Reinhardt was yelling something about shutting him up. Snowman tossed him his sword and he swung the sword to Priest's head and sliced a large section of his skull off. Ulyena didn't want to look, but she couldn't look away.

Blade stepped in front of Priest and watched as the changing vampire's mouth opened, revealing him as a new species. Blade told everyone to move before shooting a hole in the wall. The sunlight flooded in and covered Priest's body. The smell of burning flesh made Ulyena wrinkle her nose and her breathing became difficult. She couldn't speak after his body burst in the rays of sunlight and her stomach threatened to push out what was in it as she and Chupa watched the eye on the remainder of Priest's head blink at them.

Ulyena's body threatened to give out, but Chupa caught her before she could fall. She realized that the Bloodpack had already lost a member, and this was only the beginning. She only hoped that Scud was okay.
