Can't reply now. At work. Expect a reply later. :3

OOC:// of course. o;

Sinth hissed and felt the metal loosen as he clawed hand pounded into it. He was this close from freedom and just as he was about to insult the bender, he once again felt constricted. The vampire's eyebrows furrowed in concentration as his body was slowly being crushed to death. More bones snapped, but his abilities couldn't heal any damage quick enough.

The shapeshifter was only halfway pointed towards Gemini, but she knew that he obviously had a close eye on her. She took that valuable time to glance at Sinth. Although she couldn't feel his soul, the other vampire still had some sort of presence that he gave off, and it was telling her that he was giving up. Gemini inwardly cursed and shot her head back over to the humans. If Sinth died, she was screwed.

"I don't understand why you would say that then, seeing is how you're making this my quarrel, too," she shot back, thinking of how odd his hands looked.

Afraid of another shapeshift by their conversation and her patience running out, Gemini acted instantly. Although she hated to use vampire abilities to her advantage, she knew that Sinth's time was running out.

With a little leveraged push, the vampire swung and let go of the crowbar in Acheron's direction, hoping to at least spare herself some time if he was distracted. Gemini immediately shot forward after that, pushing all her weight forward into tackling Sethera.

Gemini fell on the floor after that, but she quickly scrambled to her feet using her elbows as leverage, pulling all her attention over to Sinth.

It simply hurt for the other vampire to open his eyes. He waited a moment before snapping his shoulder blade back into place and pounded on the metal structure that entwined him, much easier now that there wasn't much of a concentration on it. He gave another solid punch on the dumpster's surface and managed to break it.

I'd like to see a human do that, Sinth thought but quickly groaned in pain after that. He angrily hit at the metal that restricted him and crawled his way out, falling on the floor in front of him while his broken bones finally were able to mend properly. The vampire's head snapped up towards Gemini and glanced over at Sethera, addiction to blood boiling in the back of his throat.

No, he told himself and simply swallowed back the urge to drink blood. With enough energy to only heal half of his wounds, Sinth wobbled his bruised body to his feet, shrinking back to his more human form and looking up in time to see his fledgling companion become prey to the shapeshifter.

In an abrupt instant, a mouth plentiful of razor sharp teeth pierced into Gemini's skin. She bit into her tongue to stop from screaming out and felt the metallic taste of her own blood pool in her mouth, much like it was around her body as well. Anger practically leaked off of the shapeshifter, and any second he was going to chew her body into pieces. As hastily as she could, Gemini attempted to claw at the giant beast that enclosed her.

Sinth ignored it, however, and slowly stalked his way over to the mind bender.

OOC:// uggh dull post, sorry. D':
wasn't sure how to fight a giant dinosaur. LOL.

OOC:// so am i. o;;
i kind of want a werewolf now, to be honest. 8K
jumping war sides like a bamf.

Sinth gave another grunt of pain, but he managed to bend down far enough to grab at Sethera's arms. He could still feel the heartbeat echo off the human's chest and picked him off the ground, keeping the male close to his body.

The vampire's eye twitched at the smell of blood being so close and he hoped that his morals would get the best of him in the end. Sinth parted his jaws and exposed his fangs, keeping them close to Sethera's neck to make it appear like he was about to take his blood.

Gemini winced as the blood in her body was slowly drained out through her tore skin. Her deadweight was thrown in the air and the only thought that came to mind was how this must be what death felt like.

"Acheron!" Sinth shouted from the ground, barely pronouncing the name but knowing that he heard the other male address the shapeshifter as such, "let go of her or your friend is dead."

He only hoped that his bluff would pay off.

When the shapeshifter's enormous head turned his way, Sinth paused. He obviously wanted the vampire to let the human down first, but he knew that humans were deceivers.

There was a moment of silence as he contemplated this, but eventually gave in. There was no emotion or anything that he cared for Gemini, really, but he knew he'd feel guilty if he didn't help the fledgling out. Sinth's grip on Sethera loosened and he lightly set the human back onto the floor. Reconnecting eyes back to the shapeshifter, he took a few steps away from the body, waiting for Acheron to let drop the other vampire.

OOC:// i haven't dabbled in the knowledge of supernatural for a while, but dhampires/dhampyrs are definitely half vampire and half human, right? xD;

OoC://

Sinth blinked in surprised and managed to catch Gemini in time before she could fall to the ground. The female winced in surprise and held onto each opposite shoulder with her arms, desperate to keep her skin on her body. She licked at the blood on her cheek and shivered out of the other vampire's arms.

"What, do I have cooties?" He shot, glaring at Gemini as he wiped the blood onto his jeans from holding her.

She glared back at him and spit saliva into her hand, rubbing it up and down on her arms through her damaged jacket to get them to heal faster. Sinth looked up and over at Acheron suspiciously, wondering how he was going to get around the shapeshifter and out of the alley.

"We will be taking our leave now," he stated suspiciously, taking a few cautious steps towards the human with Gemini close behind him, "you sho-"

Before the vampire finished his sentence, a large crashing sound from outside the alleyway caused both of their heads to whip towards the sunlight. Another large crashing noise and a shout. With his suspicions raised even more, Sinth abruptly gave off an aggressive and agitated body language as he whipped past Acheron and stalked over to the edge of the building next to him.

"Gemini, we have to go," he said urgently, pulling his hood up and taking off down the sidewalk, as fast as his broken body would allow him to.

The female vampire's head perked up as she briefly saw a glimpse of brown fur, and under the wolf a bloody figure that was slowly burning in the sunlight.

"Um, sorry," she mumbled to the shapeshifter, unsure of the awkwardness as she stalked back to the end of the alley to grab her crowbar and power walked past him.

OOC:// making bios RITE NAO.
EDIT: sorry for the lame post, but i figured i'd add a couple new faces to keep things interesting. p:
at least for a little while. LOL.

OoC://

What appeared to be a large brown wolf slowly shifted and descended towards a more human-looking figure. The werewolf dropped the corpse in his hands and watched as it dissolved to ash in the sun, taking his time to glance over and wink at Gemini.

The female vampire spit in his general direction and hissed before taking after her companion, making the werewolf frown.

"Am I not attractive enough for you?!" he shouted across the street at her retreating figure, flinging his hands up in the air for dramatic emphasis.

The werewolf turned around to the elf, who was busy checking the supplies in his bag, and snorted. "Did you see that?"

"Shut up Richard, maybe if you wiped the blood off your face once in a while you would actually be attractive to someone," the elf suggested, walking over and glancing into the alleyway, "besides, you're not important."

Richard ignored the dent in his pride and focused on the more current situation, bounding headfirst into the alley and taking a large sniff in the air. "Reaks of dead stuff. They're alive though."

The elf nodded and followed after the werewolf, gently bending over to to take a quick and skillful glance at the humans before him. "Um, I don't know if I can help them, Richie."

"You help people all the time."

"Their problems aren't really physical or anything. More like a lack of energy, and this other guy, I don't even know what's with this guy."

Duke thought about it for a moment before pulling on Acheron's deadweight and dragging him over to the building, leaning the male against the wall. He wasn't that strong and had difficulty carrying the weight, but Richard followed his lead instantly, doing the same with Sethera with no effort before bounding back towards the sidewalk to keep a lookout. The elf sighed in concentration and squatted down, resting his hand on the shapeshifter's arm, who appeared to have the brunt of the damage, and waited a moment before the pain finally warshed over him.

There were small cuts and bruises here and there, and Duke figured if he could do anything, then he might as well help a little bit. His eyes flashed teal and he squinted them in endurance as he felt blood leak out of his own arm.

"Dude, you guys don't look so good," the elf said after a moment, then glanced over at the werewolf, "think we could get them somewhere?"

Richard nodded and suddenly disappeared from sight, until Duke heard the crash of a window and figured that he must have broken into a house to unlock the front door.

OOC:// FFFF
long post of nothing don't kill me i'm sorry sob sob
guess it's kind of like another intro.

OoC://

((Hey you guys, sorry I haven't posted much. I didn't really see anything I could do with my characters without interrupting the battle (Which I find incredibly rude) and there wasn't really much I could say with Kevia, Zane, and Ace (I'll make a bio for Zane though, since I've decided to make him a full-fledged character). I thought about putting Sitri the demon in there sometime, but I have no idea how demons would be regarded, since they technically make deals with both sides, but fight with vampires. Any ideas? I've been keeping up with the story still, and you two really are pretty good. ^.^))

OOC:// yes duke did. c:<
BAH you so should have interrupted the battle. that would've been fun. c: just jump in whenever and wherever, as that's what i've been doing. xD; so if you want, the house that richard just broke into could so be where Sydri lives of the sorts. o: AND THEN AN ALARM GOES OFF LOL.
as for sitri, i'd almost say she could be regarded as a threat to everyone, simply for being a demon. o__o you could pull her off any way you want too, though.

BIC://
Duke leaned in carefully to hear the words coming from Acheron, realizing that the man was somewhat conscious in his state. Those two vampires were responsible, of course. He had expected it but decided not to jump to the conclusion. The elf glanced back to stare at the unrecognizable dumpster that the shapeshifter pointed to and let out a short laugh.

"Ha ha, well hopefully those vampires won't get far and we can finish the job. For your friend, though, I can't really help him. He'll wake up though, right?"

As Duke patiently waited for the other male, he unzipped his bag and took out a large gauze, unrolling it and wrapping it carefully over his right arm. Richard picked himself off the floor once he crashed into the window and looked around the well-kept house suspiciously, swishing the glass on the floor with his feet and directing the shattered pieces out of the main part of the floor. The werewolf unlocked the front door and kept it open as he raced across several houses to the alley.

"Okay, found a place," Richard panted, walking over and pointing his attention towards the shapeshifter, "if I supported your weight, do you think you could walk with me?"

Gemini finally caught up with Sinth and gave a relieved sigh to find him safe under the shadows of a few connecting buildings, and she wasn't surprised to know that they weren't far off from the fight scene. He was busy holding onto his broken shoulder that kept popping out of place.

"Don't even say anything," Sinth hissed, standing up from his resting position and trailing around to the connection of alleyways he usually dabbled in.

The fledgling was in better condition than her elder, who was almost crushed to death, and she trailed slowly behind him and watched as he swatted at the every now and then rodent that scurried by. For a few minutes, Gemini watched dully as the vampire sucked dry the carcass of a rat he managed to find, which was just enough to heal a few surface bruises, and right before that, two unfamiliar scents caught on the wind and she cursed.

Gemini carefully gripped the crowbar in her hand and she glanced at Sinth, slowly leaving him in private as she walked away and glanced cautiously around the street, hoping for the unknown scents to pass.

"You're not supposed to point out the flaws in my plan," Ace complained, slightly upset at how the other human processed things in a more survival way than he did, "besides, does it really matter? It's not like any of us are going to survive in the end, anyway."

The male bit his lip in thought as he stared over at the other two companions. What did he have to lose? Ace shrugged and spun the machete in his hand as he walked over to their building, carefully giving a quick knock on the abandoned building like they actually lived there. He awkwardly ruffled his blonde hair and said softly, "y'all never told me your names."

"That's a pessimistic way of looking at things, champ," Kevia goaded, crossing her arms stubbornly. The door fell down at Ace's knock, and she snorted in amusement.

"Oh, you're injured," Sydri said with a bl
ink, swiping her staff to dismiss the flames. "Yeh know, all ye had to do was knock. I've got some supplies, but breakin me window was uncalled for," she said. She opened the door wide enough for everyone to enter. "My name's Sydri Robins."
