The wrong place at the wrong time // Albel and Joachim [complete]

[c-rimsonscourge.livejournal.com]

Who: Albel and Joachim
Where Near the kitchens
When: August 18th, morning
Rating: 15 Warning for violence and blood.
Summary: Albel takes a walk down to the kitchens and a certain hungry vampire seizes the rare chance to attack a not-wary Albel.

the Story:

Albel put down his journal and left it in his room to go down to the kitchens. Making his way down the hall, he fingered the top of his katana lovingly and wondering if he'd get in a decent practice today.

He needed to go find things to kill. He was getting bored of not having the feel of flesh slicing beneath his blade, trying to cling wetly to it as he passed it through an unwilling victim and snuffed out their life. Or for his claw, the way the victim's flesh would slice and rip, tearing asunder under his wrath.

To go from fighting the most powerful creatures, the most evil men - to sitting about was infuriating.

The need for food and his ponderings left him less aware of his surroundings than usual and he focused on getting some breakfast.

Too long Joachim had been locked within the water prison, too long it had been since he had properly fed. The vampire wasn't quite sure on how long he had been held captive within the Dark Palace of Waterfalls, feeding on the only living creatures that would come in his dark prison. All this time he had waited, waited for an opportunity to extract revenge on the person responsible for his imprisonment. But fate would not have it that way, as the vampire was killed by a mere human.

And eventually he wound up here, in this 'Wonderland'. Though full with the aforementioned humans, the situation had its slight advantages. After all, Joachim was no longer obligated to thrive on a diet of rats. There were plenty of humans within this mansion, their bodies full with the red liquid he craved.

But the little girl hadn't been enough to satisfy his thirst, so Joachim found himself hunting for yet another prey. It wasn't before long he spotted a man in one of the mansion's many hallways, seemingly heading towards the kitchens.

Perhaps this man would have heard the vampire approaching, if only Joachim walked. No, walking was something that was beneath Joachim. Why walk if floating was so much easier?

Albel Nox, better known as 'The Wicked', had finely honed senses that he used in battle - but they were failing him now as no footfall or breath met his ear. The creature stalking him had every advantage and he continued on, unaware of the danger behind him.

He needed food, the irony of the situation had he known - would not have amused him.

The man seemed to be unaware of the predator following his prey, as Joachim came closer to Albel. Upon close inspection, the man seemed to be some kind of warrior, yet it hardly mattered to a thirsty vampire. A human was a human, prey was prey, regardless of said humans' identity.

It was almost too easy.

Joachim was a quick vampire, therefore he managed to approach his prey without much delay. With one simple motion, he seized the human by the neck.

Albel yelled in pain as his neck was attacked; he reacted with a fighter's instinct but the fangs in his beck were very distracting.

He threw his claw back, aiming for whomever was biting him and attempted to drive the metal claws into their flesh. He'd been through more pain than this before; he just needed to blot it out and focus.

He was finding that hard as the blood poured from his wound and into the eager mouth of his assailant, draining his energy faster than he could react. This didn't look good.

Joachim put one arm around his victim's neck while using the other to seize the claw by its 'wrist'. Though not a powerful vampire, this would certainly do.

He drank eagerly from the crimson liquid pouring from the puncture wounds, making sure not to spill a single drop.

Albel tried to curse, all he managed was a snarl as his attack was stopped and his lifeblood poured from the wound in his neck.

A memory flashed across his mind of the conversation he'd had over the journal about wasting blood and his handsome face twisted into a grimace.

"You..." he breathed, his voice ragged.

Joachim wasn't about to interrupt his meal in order to answer the human. He didn't like to be interrupted while he was feeding, especially not now. The blood of this man was...most delicious, yet tasted slightly different from what he was used to. Somehow, more sweet...

His victim's pulse was weakening, as the amount of blood entering his greedy mouth lessened. It seemed the human was getting near to death, which was such a pity. Dropping his unfortunate victim unceremoniously on the floor, he began to wipe the blood from his lips with his fingers. It was then when the vampire realized what this human had meant.

"I had indeed said that I would show you, human, but even I hadn't thought it would be so soon." he replied, fully aware Albel still lived. His eyes - an odd shade of lavender -- lingered on the mortals' form, smirking to himself.

[ooc; figuring Albel's blood tasted slightly different as Albel's technically not human, but Elicoorian XD And, uh...do you want Joachim to leave you lying in the middle of the hallway or should he move you somewhere else? Like...hidden? XD; it would get less attention.]

Albel opened his lips, thinking to curse the bastard with his last breath, but nothing escaped him except a little bit of blood left around his neck wounds.

He hit the floor like a ragdoll and lay there, limp and useless. Another twitch and his body fell into oblivion, not yet dead but without enough energy to be conscious. His body desperately needed to repair itself otherwise he'd succumb to an undignified death.


[[ooc: Thats totally fine, Albel's tasty, no? >E He can leave him in the middle of the floor bleeding like a ragdoll if he chooses. Add to Abel's anger when hes you know, got blood again XD]]

Joachim watched the human as he began unconscious. Smirking to himself, he turned and left.

He had already bothered with hiding the little girl, yet that didn't mean the vampire would lower himself with cleaning up the bodies. There were plenty of humans in here suitable for suck a lowly task.

[ooc; wtf why did I write 'you' >>; and Joachim says Albel's tasty. *excuse to let him live? XD* Albel's free to PWN Joachim someday :O that would mean he would get PWNed by a human for the second time XD]
