Lycan Stronghold (OPEN)

[Deleted]

"This? This is insanity, Demon." Ravina's voice was still on the agitated side, but it was softer now. The Demon, or whatever he may be, was there to help. Even if he had done it in a sense that she did not agree with. They had to do something though, because Felix was out of hand and she could no longer just stand here like a duck on the pound. There had to be something she could do to delay the tiny werewolf's anger from becoming actual action. Looking to Felix now, her eyes turned to the darkest of obsidian. "And for his crimes you shall punish the innocent? Think Felix, I care not if I die, but what of my child? Does he not get a chance in this world as you and I have? Would your mate have wanted you to act so?" Her voice was cold and matter-of-fact. The werewolf had made up her mind, but Ravina could care less. She was angry and seriously worried about her child. If she died, what would become of him? Fangs grew over her wide bottom lip as she snarled at the other woman.

Snarling with a slight hiss, Ravina rolled her eyes at the werewolf and let out a frustrated scream. "Know this, Felix Delos: If you kill me, there will be no rest for you in the afterlife. I can promise you that." And just as soon as the words left her mouth, the sound of bullets slicing the air became known to the angry mother. Closing her eyes, she missed the bite of the bullet and opened her eyes to see a rather dirty man in front of her. Her dirty man to be exact, and he was very angry as well. "Kayen!" Seeing the bullets pushed from his body, she knew he would be fine, but not herself. A shoulder was bleeding profoundly, but she would survive.

Stepping to the side, since Felix was busy with Kayen and ranting about killing her, Ravina found the cabinet of weapons that Xavier had for such occasions. She had never understood why a Lycan like himself had wanted so many guns and things, but she understood now. Taking out one that was loaded, she swung around in time to catch Zain glowing. Glowing? Ravina had thought that he was a Demon, but he was there glowing. No matter, she had the distraction she needed. Sliding up behind the werewolf, Ravina pointed the gun to the back of her head, "Drop it." She kept her eyes on the back of Felix's head, but a smile lit her face up for a moment. "Hello, my love. I have missed you and you have a son. If we get out of this alive, you may hold him for as long as you like." Her accent was beautiful of course, but there was an edge to it that bespoke of her worry, anger, and hate of Felix's choices.

Felix gasped in shock, backing up two or three feet before the energy hit her. It was a prison, and the result of Zain’s interference caused the woman to screech in fury, aiming punches at the walls and curses blurted out so fast that no one would be able to understand what they were. Katia and Xavier were battling it out, though Zain had stopped them, for now. It didn’t matter to Felix, because her own predicament was worse. Ravina, however, did not show her mercy. The gun was at the back of her head, so that even if Felix did get out of this box, there was no way the werewolf could escape the room alive. Her hands went up in the air in the universal sign of surrender, before they dropped to Felix’s side as she laughed softly.
“You forget that I, Ravina, am not seeking rest. My mate.. He‘s gone. I should think that he would like to be avenged.” The words were barely a soft sigh, but said so that the woman alone would hear Felix. Her voice raised however, as she glared first at Kayen, then at Zain. “You had no right to judge nor condemn me. I plea to no one, for they are not my God or master. The charges have not be said, so I stay silent on the matter.”

The woman turned around in her small box to look to Kayen, her eyes never leaving his own. What Felix was looking for, it seemed she could not find, because then she cast her gaze to Ravina. Again, she stayed silent, looking at the woman alone, not the gun she was holding. A small smile graced Felix’s lips before the woman spun again to face Zain. Her face broke into another smile, and the laugh that accompanied it was almost mocking.
“Destroy me, torture me, enslave me, whatever. But know that when you do whatever you are planning, this werewolf doesn’t care. She has no reason for living.” Her words rang true, for the only reason Felix kept trying for anything was a vain hope that had just been crushed.

"Ouch.."

She said in a dull tone that seemingly lacked any true emotion. She was not affected by his words one bit but more so his body language spoke volumes to her. Everything about him was perfect in her eyes, the perfect prey which made her hungry gaze even that much scarier when she watched him tense for an attack. This was the part that excited her the most, the fight before she had her way with the beast. As she was to speak, an Icicle would find it's way into the Lycan, causing her to growl and turn her attention for a moment on the others to the find the man who'd done this. "Keep your hands off of him!" she shouted which would be quite loud, accidentally causing some of the nearby Lycans to cover their ears and groan in pain.

Taking this moment of opportunity to her own advantage, Katia would whip forward with intense speed, zig zagging right for Xavier. Her eyes would lock with his even through the motion, the only thing truly clear was the small bits of blood that trailed along behind her. Mind recovery would find him in a world of hell. As he tried to get to his feet, the Vampiress would let fly a powerful uppercut with her right hand to his face, attempting to send all her power into a concussive blow that would disorient him enough to make him vulnerable. If she hit him, her fist would fall once more to attempt to put him out cold. A blank and lifeless gaze now examined the Lycan, he would be her captive even if she had to fight him for days.

"Sleep, doggy.."

Kayen quickly stepped backward as the light encased Felix and he grinned slowly. His eyes darted toward his love, Ravina, and he smiled as she spoke to him. When she had finished, he quickly sped to her side and wrapped an arm around her, kissing her lips deeply as he had not seen her in many months. After he had kissed her, he turned his gaze back to Felix. She seemed to be fully handled by the Demon, so he glanced towards him. "Do what you will with her, Demon. I have no desire for her alive or dead. She is yours... and about your reward. Meet me tomorrow night on the cliffs and we shall sort that out."

Xavier roared yet again as the fist collided with his jaw with a loud crack. He stumbled back and the second blow dropped him to his knees. He tried to fight back, but the icicles had distracted him enough for the Vampire female to get the advantage and he couldn't get up. He fell to his side and tried to cover up his head until he went unconscious. After a few moments, he shifted back to his Human form, completely naked and battered. This battle seemed to be over for now.

[Deleted]

"..good boy."

With a smile at her deeds, Katia fought back the urge to do her thing right then and there in the room. Looking to Ravina and Kayen she would note that Ravina was safe, a side affect she supposed from all the distractions they'd caused today. Turning back to the Lycan commander, Katia would lift him over her shoulder and slowly make her way towards the door. "We're going to have alot of fun.." she cooed quietly as she kicked the corpse of a dead Lycan upon passing. She would not wait to see if anyone tried to stop her for revenge upon Xavier because she had her own ideas in mind. She'd fight any one of them to the death for this catch, for this Lycan.

"Bye bye everyone.." echoed as she would take off running now, vanishing in a blur.

:3 Leaving the thread with Xavier unless halted.

Zain lowered to the ground as his wings folded back. "Enough of your whining. Die Felix."

With that he closed his hand as the entire box glowed brightly and loudly though unbeknown to Kayen or anyone Else's eyes nothing would happen to Felix since she was not evil..not truly. Zain knew this from the beginning as he turned to wards Kayen. " Agreed. I will meet you tomorrow. For now I wish you the best with your wife. "

Zain then looked to Ravina as he smirked. "By the way..princess. Its not demon. My name is Zain and you are welcome."

He did not know what to make of these people, they were odd in many ways but like he was one to talk? He now had to figure out what to do with the lycan. Unchecked and she would certainly cause problems in the near future.
As soon as the three left, his field of holy around Felix would fall leaving her very unharmed.

[Deleted]

Somehow, she understood Felix and that was what made her next move so hard to do. Yes, she wanted to protect herself from Felix's wrath, but something felt off about it. This woman had suffered as she had lost Kayen not too long ago. To loose the one you loved was worse than death. Your hear literally broke and what Felix felt, she could understand on some level. When she turned to look her in the eyes, Ravina bowed her head in respect. This woman knew only too well.

As Kayen stepped up to her, a smile that had been missing lit her face up with joy. He looked so tired, so hungry, but all of that could wait as he kissed her deeply with satisfaction. It was like coming home and she at once felt safe again. Not alone and terrified as she had for so long, for she finally had her mate by her side. Her hands rested on his chest as he turned to Zain, her own eyes following the movement. So this was to be the creature that would own half the city and do whatever he wished with Felix? Looking at her hard, Ravina sighed and stepped out of Kayen's embrace. Standing in front of her now, eye to eye, Ravina gazed into Felix's eyes for a long time before she spoke. "You will find what you are looking for, sister of the Moon. I promise you that," then she turned to Zain. "If you do decide to kill this she-wolf, make it swift, for she is a true warrior and deserves a warrior's death. And I will remember the name," she added with a small smirk.

Moving back into her lover's embrace, Ravina smiled again. "You know not how I missed you, Kayen Storm. Never leave me again," she whispered as her arms found their way around his neck to squeeze him tightly. Katia had finally brought down the brute that had beaten her for as long as he could, and she was happy to see that the wicked she-vamp would take out her twisted desires on him. He needed to be brought down to knee level. "Let us go get your son, my love."

[Deleted]

Kayen turned his head to watch Katia carry Xavier away and he thought for a moment before he called after her. "If he escapes from you, Katia, so help me I'll kill you and him!" He growled softly and then he heard Ravina and he smiled brightly. His lips met hers again and then he turned and walked with her quickly to fetch their son. He looked like he had been through hell, but he couldn't have been happier right now.

Xavier slumped over the shoulder of Katia as he was carried away. He had no idea what his future held, but he was sure he would not enjoy it. His worst fears were coming true... meanwhile, the few hundred surviving Lycans started to flee from the Underground. The slaves' guards left them unattended and it didn't take them long to free themselves and escape, unless they were privately owned and taken away.

[Deleted]

There was a deep satisfaction to know that Ravina did truly respect the werewolf. That submission from Ravina, the fact that the woman would not look her directly in the eyes, was a small victory for Felix. However, it was more than likely one that would not save her life. When she heard Kayen’s words, the woman snarled, though it was less feral. No, Felix would never take a punishment they gave, for that would be the ultimate subjugation. It turned into a low growl, menacing. She turned to watch Xavier carried away; he never stood a chance against that vampiress. Katia was well talked about, both good and bad.

Looking away from the two, her arms wrapped around her chest, as though that would stop the werewolf from breaking on the inside, holding herself together. They would have what she never would, not ever. That part of life was over for Felix, and she wouldn’t be able to move on. Only one man would ever occupy her thoughts, her hopes, and her dreams. Those types of futures were gone, though. Gone forever, like the blood of a newborn. Never again would she hold him in her arms, bury her head in his dark hair and inhale the sweet scent of her lover, nor would she cry to the moon for the release of her wolf form, only to want to be brought back to her half-demon, or make love to him in the middle of the morning, not caring who heard or what she was doing previously. No, life was over if Felix wanted to live like that. It was now a bloodsucker eat everyone else world, and there was bound to be torture involved.

There seemed to be a stone wall around her heart now, guarded by hell itself and the ages of Lycans and werewolves before her. Ravina spoke to her quietly, and Felix didn’t respond. What did she know? Ravina was not Felix, nor would Felix be Ravina. Their lives were set on different paths, and this werewolf hated her for having what she would never again possess. Now it was the werewolf that looked away, staying silent, even to her words to the half breed. That shocked her completely, though it should not have, and it was only then that Felix spoke to Ravina, “Be happy with what you have, because one day, it will be ripped from you. Your soul will wander, and then you will never find peace until you rip out the bastard’s throat and feast on his flesh.” It was not a promise, but the truth of how Felix felt about everything at this point. “Daughter of Darkness and Light you are.. And so you will remain on both worlds. May the Moon bless your path, wherever you go.” The last part of her words were said very soft, as though Felix was barely breathing them. That blessing was for Ravina alone, not Kayen, not Alexander, and not Zain. There were no more promises that she could make, because one day, Felix just might murder Kayen in the most brutal of ways possible, if Felix got that chance. And it was then that the vampire mother would understand the woman before her, and go after Felix. No one would rest in this city, not with this spunky werewolf here.

She watched the two go for their son, and she hissed sharply, before relaxing. Zain owed her big time. She could have killed him too easily out there in the halls, could have weakened him and made his death a slow and torturous one. But the werewolf didn’t, and thus, that was where the payback came in. When the wall fell, she looked at him. “Well, Zain? This werewolf could have had you murdered right then and there in the halls, or dragged out your death to last years.. And yet, I’m the one in your mercy now. Funny how things end up.”

[Deleted]

Zain crossed his arms as he leaned against the wall looking at Felix. He had the biggest shit eating face grin anyone could have. And most of all he had a little fun with his little show. But now more plans needed to be laid out. Just like a track for a train to run upon. "Well now..looky here, your still alive? Just imagine that? Maybe my powers are getting alittle rusty I suppose. Or maybe you just have abit of luck upon your side. Either way I recommend keeping your head low for awhile. There seems to be quite a few people who just might want to cut it off."

Zain pushed off the wall as he headed over to a nearby dresser. Now obviously Zain was not going to go away empty handed. That would just not be Zain. As he looked around he found two trinkets that seemed to catch his attention. One being of a small hand gun. A 9mm to be exact that had gold engravings upon it with a black metal base.. It was a simple and elegant gun. A gentleman's gun for a gentle mens fun. As he took it he fitted it nicely into the back of his pants. Next was a Ruby. You see Zain had a bad problem. One he really has no control over. He loves shiny objects. He is in fact worse than a cat and can be bribed very easily if something is shiny and interesting to him. And that was in fact what this ruby was to him. It was blood red and only the size of a small quarter. But it was beautiful and pure. Happy with his findings he put it into his pocket as he turned and looked at Felix to finish his conversation. " I believe in terms of Honor you actually owe me. Not only did I spare your live but I gave you a new one as well. So in my book it would only be fair to return my favor no?" And thus the snake that Zain was finally showed himself as his eyes gleamed evilly at Felix. " Do not answer me so soon though. For now rest..gather your thoughts or kill yourself. Which ever you do, just do it away from me of course. I though have a...date per say to keep. Ta Ta little wolf. You will know how to find me when the time comes." With that Zain shot off toward the window diving threw it as he wings sprung forth sending him sailing threw the air like a giant eagle.

[Deleted]

The werewolf had no kind words for Zain, but stayed silent until he was done speaking. The tone that she greeted him with was mocking all the same, nothing less of what you would expect from Felix. "Hah, it's not your powers that are the problem. I'm Lady Luck herself, or so my name does say.." In truth, the original form of her name meant 'lucky one.' So yes, that nickname many of her colleagues had oftentimes mentioned her by was a well-suited name. The woman could get off on any situation, safe, for the most part.
This was mere proof of such her luck.

"Alright Zain, you're completely wrong. No, I owe you nothing. I'd say we're just about even."
With that, she watched him leave with those two trinkets he had nicked from the wardrobe. Obviously, Xavier had not planned for such a thing to happen. Once the half breed was gone, only then did the woman collapsed against the wall, body curling up as she laughed and wept all the same. It was both a gain and a loss for her. Felix had not gotten what she wished, but now, the Lycan species had a brighter future. Her kin would live on. That was her repayment to Rufiel, another one lost from such battles with the vampires. At least that part of her would be at ease. However, there was more. Felix had not avenged Lucian, and it seemed that she never would, at least for the time being. But Felix could be a patient she-wolf, for the woman could wait for years if need be, to murder that man.
Was her living a revenge on Kayen?
That question blazed through her mind, and the answer doused the fire. No. Felix’s victory would come only when that man was dead at her feet. She would never suffice for anything less. Again, the femme was starting over, a new profile and life, for now. Zain wasn’t right, however. He had given her nothing, only what was due, and nothing more. Killing herself had once been an option, but not now. The only option left for Felix was to go forward. One day, yes, she would confront Zain again. Maybe she did owe him, maybe she didn’t. Only time would tell.

She stood up and gathered her weapons, as well as anything left over. This race needed something, someone, to lead them. No matter how hard or how bad Felix wanted to do that, she couldn’t. For one, she wasn’t a Lycan. Nothing would change that, never. It was life, though. This female werewolf would deal with it, in the best of ways that she could. Slowly, almost shakily, she laughed, the sound echoing through the halls, causing the other Lycanthrope soldiers to come in, take a once over, and then leave in a hurry. They would be fine for a while, until someone stepped up to take care of the species in this city. However, before that time, fending for themselves would be the best. The women were fighters when need be - Felix herself was proof of that.

Chains for life..That is what they told him. Xaviers last words to the Hybrid. Alex was a fool to believe that Xavier was there to rescue him from the vampires and all there evil. No..he was just moved from one horrible master to another. Vampires..lycans. They were all the same it seemed. Young in body, evil at heart.

It was silent. To silent as Alex opened his eyes. He had heard much commotion up above from a mere thirty minutes ago. But now there was nothing. Suddenly though several lycans ran down here and immediately began freeing the other enslaved lycans. Most likely enslaved for speaking out of tongue to wards Xavier. And then finally it came his turn to be freed as the lycans ran by him. "W..WAIT! Please free me!"
Free you? Why would they even bother. He was a hybrid. Another creation that should have never been created. The lycans only laughed in humor as they shook there heads and left. Alex was not surprised. Would he save himself if he was in there place? Maybe.., But it was pointless to think of such things. The fact that they were down there meant Xavier was token out. In short it would only be a few days till he himself would die of starvation. "Mother..father..I am sorry..for I have failed you. I fear I have not long...."

[Deleted]

The escaping Lycans didn't get very far, there was another searching these treacherous depths. Shadows infiltrating every corner, every spider-filled cobweb and every dank dungeon floor. Breathing with sharp ragged breaths as the adrenaline pulsed through his body, as exhilarating and as fearful as his thoughtfully pounding head numbly trying to navigate the sewer of underground passages and spiraling maze of rotting corpse-filled rooms. eventually he found something alive in this decrepit cesspool, a pack of frightened Lycans heading for the nearest exit. Pity he was blocking it... snarling with all the ferociousness of a wild cougar, his dark blue denim jeans slightly torn and stained with the blood of others from the surface. His dark hair and dazzlingly sharp fangs, paled in comparison though to his eyes. Colored a mysteriously ancient shade of blue-gray, they flickered dangerously from one Lycan to the next as they ran full speed towards him. Unaware of what lay just ahead shrouded in the luminescent glow of a pale iridescent white, the light source seemingly dangling from his neck like an early morning fog lit from within.

The Lycans were panicked, unwilling to stop for anything. Like a herd of bewildered sheep fleeing from a savage wolf they clambered over one another and straight past Orion. Not stopping to even realize what they'd passed or even bothering to look behind, they were scared and rightfully so... not much could take on the vampire lord Kayen and live to tell about it. Though without Suriels help it would have been a useless endeavor, she had been providing him with inside information since he'd arrived within her field of contact. Her mind pressed firmly against his as though it clinged for dear life to something it could relate to, her mind was a blinding expanse of ocean though. As quiet and relaxing as it was in this situation, he had no time to listen or to lose himself in the endless void of her ancient depths. Not just yet anyway, the blinding haze of white light emanating from the crescent moon pendant around his neck was aggravating his condition. The century old vampire virtually condemned to a life of slavery with the wretched accursed object, if only that being he despised so much for gifting him with the incredulous artifact was not his wife.

Ahh there were some stories to be told there for sure... but right now he had other things to worry about. Like the whereabouts of said white angel, otherwise known as Lilly to the mortal realm she was more commonly called Suriel. His frustration mounting to a fine point he bellowed down the halls and through his mind-link "Damn Lycans! can't you build things in a straight line.... why all the rabbit tunnels? and with no sign of a road map for directions.... Bah!" His edgy paranoid delusions didn't seem to help him settle down any, he was half expecting a Lycan or something far worse to jump out and greet him with a wide toothy grin. He sighed heavily with finality, pity the poor pathetic fool who got stuck down here... at the moment it was this pathetic life form that found itself bitterly lost in these filthy conditions but it could have quite easily been another. Or at least thats what he kept telling himself, as Suriels reply came none too quickly. Her soft lilting tones almost mocking his useless sense of direction underground, they had the strange actuality of providing comfort and warmth to even the coldest of hearts though and he quickly found himself calm-minded, collected and back in control. Heading in roughly the right direction or so he hoped with a mischievous grin, he hadn't seen too many fights recently but he knew there would be guards lying in wait just around the corner if only he could... Ohh, never mind. It seems they've all run off, either too frightened or too worried about their own hides at the hands of Xavier to bother even locking the dungeon doors.

[Deleted]

It was faint, faint even for his keen nose, but he smelled something different in the air. Another visitor. Or maybe a executioner. Blood was still rich in the air and he wanted to..no needed to feed so badly. But no matter how hard he pulled against these binding chains, he had not the strength to pull them from the wall. That was the plan ever since they put him in this cell. Damn them though, Damn them all for there cruelty. Why could they not have just left him alone? Why must people be so cruel to others that are not quite..like them? Alex hung his head low and closed his eyes. He was making a silent prayer to his parents to save him. If there was any hope for his life to continue then someone had to save him. O how pathetic it was though. He had never really even seen the outside before. What the hell would he even do on the outside.

"SOMEBODY HELP ME!!"

A dire attempt. A most likely failed attempt. Oh well..

"I failed..yet again."

[Deleted]

Suddenly he froze, having heard a voice echoing down the halls from somewhere behind him. It was too far away to tell if the voice was male or female and in this close a proximity to the mind numbing effects of Suriel's mental-link he could not tell if it was her either. Growling impatience and seething with a need to kill something he quickly traversed the distance back to where he assumed the sound came from only to hear the last uttered words of defeat from something on the other side. Despite his better intentions Orion was so frustrated by the lack of direction in this maze of underground walkways he'd abandoned his search for Suri in the hopes of finding something else. He'd been later than he'd liked to admit, having dispatched most of the Lycans upstairs and above ground as the larger portion of Kayens new clan stormed the Lycans sanctuary.

Suriel sighed heavily, he was such a handful at times. She had no time for his impatience today, directing the large horde of Nekos she'd freed on her way out of the underground. Suriel began heading back down into the depths to find her mate, Orion was never very good at finding his way underground without the stars and night sky to guide him. By the time he'd made it to their current level, they'd all be well on their way to the surface. Extending her thoughts into his bewildered mess of frantically angered ones, she tried calming him down but it seemed he'd found a large wooden door to smash not too far away from where she stood waiting for him. Filling the walkway with her large wingspan she fluttered down the hallway to meet Orion at the old wooden door.

The door itself was caked with blood and reeked of both Lycan and vampire, unsure as to what this was supposed to mean she glanced questioningly in Orions direction. He seemed both immensely annoyed and relieved to see her in such good condition, having been just about to bust open the door with force as Suriel reached for the door handle and found it unlocked. The door swung open gently with a light squeal, as Orion growled with an irritated look of annoyance. Stepping inside she motioned to Orion to wait a few seconds before following her into the pitch black abyss that now loomed in front of her. "Hello?... " she asked her voice quiveringly nervous as Orion impatient as ever, decided to barge in first. Glaring dangerously in his direction, Suri tried to see through the darkness towards the other end of the room. She could vaguely feel the presence of a lonely being, chained up on the other side but as Orion was already halfway across the room having no qualms with being able to see in the empty shadows she had no choice but to follow and hope the one she felt would not be hostile.
