Live for the Night, P for Noah

[Noah Tallentyne]

Glancing at Zalika, Noah was a bit jealous that she had her femininity on her side as far as the hunt went. Men were usually up for any beautiful woman giving them attention, but the other way around wasn�t anywhere near as easy. Women were told to be wary of strange men approaching them, so Noah had to rely a lot more on his natural vampire charms. His decent looks weren�t something to taken for granted, either. So, dancing with the humans, hands moving down to reach each of their waists, the woman was happy but the man started to recoil, watching exactly what Noah did with who had to be his girlfriend.

Now, it was Rhiandra�s turn. The two human-linked daemons were then flirted with, the maned wolf flashing open eyes at them both. Her stance became softer as some unspoken words were passed between them. If the daemons could be convinced, then the humans would be easy to tame. It was all a question of guile, something that Rhiandra had in buckets. It was even better that she was an unusual daemon. If it hadn�t been for a travelling show that allowed Noah and Rhiandra to see what a maned wolf looked like, then she would have probably settled as an ordinary wolf. Luckily, she was something that was much more striking.

As the man glanced at his daemon, Noah smiled. Taking the opportunity to try and pull each of them closer to him, he gently flashed his fangs, whispering in their ears that a vampire�s bite was orgasmic if pulled off correctly. That wasn�t strictly true, but what else would they know? The argument that he obviously wasn�t dangerous because he was an open vampire, allowed into the popular club made it even better. Their barriers fell, helped along by the alcohol that the pair had obviously already consumed. To make it almost final, Noah drank from his glass and then offered each of the humans a swig each. They were friends. Before he tried anything else, his hands wandered down to each of their backsides, swaying in time to the heavy beat.

Another glance to Zalika showed that she wasn�t as far as Noah had previously thought. Maybe he and his chosen humans had moved closer without his realising it. What it helped was that Rhiandra could briefly leave, twisting through the people to see her daemon, Lucien. We�re ready when you are, she said to him telepathically, nodding and smirking before retreating back to her vampire half.

Lucien didn�t even have to really flirt with the two daemons, they flirted with him. They brushed against his snow fur, one a harmless black cat and the other a colourful kingfisher. The kingfisher was resting on the arctic fox�s head, rubbing his head gently on Lucien�s fur and the cat purring and brushing herself alongside Lucien.

Zalika deepened the kiss with the blonde girl, giving her boyfriend a show as she gently reached up with her perfectly manicured right hand to brush against the girl�s bare stomach. The boyfriend then kissed Zalika�s neck which made her turn to him and give him a bit of attention as the girl pawed at Zalika�s body. The smell of arousal was thick between them and the beating hearts were deafening in Zalika�s ears. She had to refrain herself from just biting them then and there. Lucien watched Noah in the short distance away with his pair, using his vampire charms, of course, for Zalika it was easier. Being female had certain advantages.

As Rhiandra approached, Lucian caught the smile and nodded. We need to take them to the Coven and to the �Forbidden Room�. Lucien said helpfully and privately to the maned wolf, a smirk on his own face. This was when Noah was going to see Zalika at her most sadistic. And although Lucien didn�t enjoy it, Zalika most certain did and there was some fun in watching what she made her prey do. Lucien looked up at Zalika and Zalika winked at him, whispering something into the pairs ears and leading them out the club and into a door down a dark alleyway that lead to stairs down and down, the bass becoming further and further away as she led the way into the �Forbidden Room.�

As soon as she returned, Rhiandra passed on Lucien�s message to Noah telepathically. He ignored the order for a moment, pretending that he was too busy to really notice. That, and obviously it was manners to let his Mistress go down and start the party first. If he didn�t, he would have probably ruined things completely. Still, it was easier to pretend that he only followed his duties because of some other reason, another factor. Noah wasn�t going to say that he cared about what Zalika thought or anything like that. There was no way that he wanted to show her his weaknesses.

Subtly keeping his eye on the older vampire, Noah saw the exact moment that she slipped away underneath the club. He hated the term �Forbidden Room,� like the vampires were from some sort of seedy horror film, but he understood the sentiment. A couple of minutes later, and Noah slowly danced the pair of oblivious humans over to the same door that Zalika had just shut behind her. They wouldn�t have noticed anything, so they would still believe that Noah was taking them somewhere �private�. This was going to be fun, the vampire could sense it.

Through the doorway, wobbling down the stairs, the walls throbbed with the underlying rhythm to the upstairs music. Smiling, Noah held an arm around both waists, gently pushing them forward. Zalika was already down with her two chosen humans. Rhiandra spent her time silently flirting and reassuring the daemons linked to Noah�s captives � not that they realised they were captives yet. Removing his hands, Noah stepped backwards, locking the door behind them. It was ridiculous leaving the exit so open, in case one or two managed to get away. It was an unlikely outcome, but he preferred to stay in control at all times.

�Are you ready for the party?� he purred, looking over to Zalika. �This is our hostess!�

[Zalika Dantoni]

The moment Zalika had the couple in the dark room, she shut the door partially closed and turned on her two victims. The room was painted a deep red that was almost black with black swirling lines intricately twisting about to the various candle ledges that lit the room with a sickening glow. On the other end of the long room was a large throne, adorned in red velvet and made of black marble on some sort of platform. Zalika swished her way over to the throne and sat down, Lucien sitting by her side. With one finger she gestured the couple forward, who were whispering to each other in anxious, worried tones.

Zalika could hear every word of the pair, the girl saying they should leave but the man held her tight and moved them closer to the platform. Zalika smiled an alluring smile. One that promised secrets and many other things besides that would be good for the pair. However, it did have a slightly sinister edge. Zalika suddenly stood and walked down the steps, the smell of blood and the noise of their hearts beating fast almost overpowering her. She wanted to play though, she did love playing with her food. Her delicate hand traced along the girl�s cheek, the girl shutting her eyes and relaxing just enough for Zalika to feel a small amount of pleasure from her. Putting her hands on both the human�s shoulders she whispered, �shut your eyes, I promise this is going to be fun.� Of course, she didn�t say that the fun was to be hears and Noah�s.

When their eyes shut, Zalika grabbed some rope that had been hidden in the room and as though she had done it many hundreds of times before, she tied their hands together behind their backs. �Sit,� the word was a command and not a request. �Keep your eyes shut.� The pair did so, an overwhelming sense of feel flooding Zalika�s brain. She then tied them up around the middle before moving back to her throne and Lucien sat on her lap.

The pair opened their eyes and realised that this was not as it seemed, something was terribly wrong. Zalika smiled sickeningly, and made sure they could get a glimpse of her fangs which made the girl faint from shock and the man sweat with nerves and try to break free. �No point struggling my pet,� she crooned. �Those ropes will only tighten more. I�ve had several hundreds of years to practice.� The man went as pale as snow as he realised that he was most likely going to die at the hands of a vampire who obviously had power.

It was then the door opened and Noah brought in another pair, locking the door behind them. Zalika smiled and rose to inspect the pair, chuckling at Noah�s greeting and introduction. This time, she let them see her tie them up, barking orders at them. �Don�t even think about escape because it won�t happen,� she snarled as the pair were shoved near the other two. She licked her lips hungrily. Glancing at Noah she smiled, �you picked well.� Zalika purred, her eyes glittering in the candle light that never seemed to dim. �Now, what game would you like to play with them? Do you have anything in mind?� Zalika�s voice was sickenly sweet as the two women whimpered.

[Noah Tallentyne]

Noah hadn�t really expected to see that Zalika had tied her chosen humans up. He had thought that she would have still been teasing them, toying with them, playing with them. Anything but ropes and laughter. Her snarl was also unexpected, and even Rhiandra gave a small flinch at it. Zalika�s strength and power throbbed around in the room, air thickening with that and the fear from each of the humans. Noah stood back as his Mistress did her work, fastening tight knots around his own couple. The man struggled until Zalika snapped orders, the woman instead breaking down as tears covered her face, defeated.

Rhiandra watched the four human�s daemons carefully. Zalika had obviously tied them so tightly that the daemons felt the pain in their humans� wrists and shoulders. It still wasn�t enough in her eyes. Instead, the maned wolf growled, howling angrily to frighten them just as much. It took most of her time not to go and bite them herself, just to feel the sweet metallic crunch of bones under shaking skin. If she did that, though, the games would end early. She liked torture more than most, even more than Noah could bear.

�You�re the hostess,� he then replied, leaving her question hanging long enough to make the humans even more afraid. �But don�t you think it�s a bit warm in here?� Pretending to frown, to think, Noah started pacing back and forth along the wall with the locked door. Rhiandra looked at him with a smirk, long tongue testing each of her sharp, pearl teeth with a demented nod. To accentuate his point, the vampire slowly slipped off his leather jacket. He didn�t break eye contact with the humans, apart from slipping his gaze between each of the four. This sort of thing always gave him the shivers, the sheer power of it. The humans were helpless, just food that happened to understand what you had planned for them. Noah wondered whether cows or pigs were aware on some level that a spike was going to slice through their throats for the humans to eat. Even with that knowledge, Noah wasn�t a vegetarian. He enjoyed the thought too much, the philosophy of it.

Throwing the jacket over and behind the humans, he finally broke his gaze and looked to Zalika. �Humans don�t dress their chickens, do they?� he asked, almost like a child would. �I think we should unwrap them� see what we�ve won!� He grinned, and Rhiandra matched the expression. Stepping forward, he sniffed the air deeply, basking in their terror.

[Zalika Dantoni]

Lucien could feel his Zalika�s joy and pure pleasure in torturing the non-infected victims. It made him shiver, and not with the same feelings. He shivered with pure, kind-heartedness shock. Zalika was getting more twisted the older she got. And Noah, well he wasn�t helping matters. In fact, he was making it much, much worse. Because Zalika constantly felt she had to keep Noah on his toes because of his ambitious nature, she was getting more and more unpredictable. Even Lucian, hovering at a safe distance and watching with dismay at the events unfolding, even he couldn�t predict anything Zalika was thinking.

Zalika played with Noah�s female�s hair, the girl whimpering and tears falling rapidly down her now blotchy and makeup stained face. She looked to Noah at his comment on it being warm and smiled. She had a feeling she knew what he was thinking and licked her lips. �Unwrap them, just like a birthday present.... Mmmm. Noah, come help me here, you should enjoy this too.� Zalika purred as she knelt by her man victim and scratched along his visible chest before tearing the shirt in a flurry to the floor. The sweat was dripping off his body and Zalika couldn�t help herself as she licked teasingly up his breastbone towards his neck and sniffed deeply. �You smell good enough to eat!� Zalika cried laughing as she plucked a small knife from her garter belt and ripped the trousers and undergarments in pieces in a fast motion. Zalika took a bit more tenderness with the female, it was more teasing than torture. But very quickly, her clothes too littered the floor.

Zalika stood and admired her handiwork, her sinister smile ever present as Lucien looked mournfully on. �Pretty chickens I think. What do you reckon Noah?� The blade still clutched in her right hand, the silver glittering with a cold, evil eye on the proceedings. She had an idea to further use for it. Zalika stepped back to the male and slowly with great care dragged the blade down to just above his genitalia, a line of blood forming as the man gritted his teeth in pain. �Mmm, smell that Noah. Such a wonderful smell. How could anyone go onto that awful filtered shit?� And with that comment, her tongue slipped out to taste the blood that was now trickling down the man�s torso.
