One who made me (dooone)

[psychotic__Gal]

Cian only barely managed to throw the creature off of his shoulder. One of the hunter's teeth however, managed to snag his arm, not quite rendering it broken but managing to tear it. Cian slid away, calling telepathically to the many daggers and knives hidden on his being. His true power finally showed. Telekinesis. His eyes grew deep and focused as he commanded two of the knives to attack the hunter. Unfortuneately the hunter was poised and ready. He easily dodged the knives.

"get away! He'll catch you too!" Screamed Daphne at the top of her lungs, "They'll get you too!"
"Shut up, child!" Roared a familiar voice. Oh dear god.
"Dorian I don't even want to deal with yo right no--" She was interrupted.
"Dear, I am in a battle at the moment but I will have you call me by my present name--cian."

Daph turned frantically to the small fox beside her, "Black? Black are you ok?!"

*Somehow, Sephiroth suddenly knew that Galantros had been cursed by the spirits. He couldn't explain how he knew, but it seemed clear as day for some reason. As for what the curse exactly was and how to remove it, that was unclear.*

Galantros: "I think I can hide in one of those fox holes. I know where a number of them are after a while of hanging out here with Black."

"Shifting his form into a fox again, he weakly stumbled into a fox hole, curling up as he tried to ignore how much strength he lost.*

Cian aimed his mind once and flexed his fingers. The knives danced through the air at top speeds. Most of them missed by mere inches, until finally one hit something.

But Cian didn't notice. Half of his mind was on the present battle, and the other half was on Daphne and Black. A random knife made it's way toward the two female, it was hidden in the leaves and things but it was going at a steady rate. Once it got to the girls, it stated to hack and saw at the binding flesh that surrounded Black.
----------------

Daph's eyes widened at the knife's progress. Who's magic was this? She sensed a concentration that was deep but foreign. It was not her own. Cian. Her red eyes looked thoughtful then bright. It made sense that he had telekinesis. The fire...of course!

*The black hunter gave a chocked screech as it was decapitated. The creature had been in mid-leap again after Cian when Veni's shadow attack went into effect. It's body twisted through the air, claws flailing as it collapsed against the dirt, bleeding black ichor, it's head tumbling away.

*Though one was rather quickly dispatched, the several others that scrambled through the trees would be tougher targets. They weaved in and out of the paths of the daggers, blocking them with their armor and claws, being also wary of any shadows they could see.

Immediately Cian began to experience sharp headaches. Also, sudden mental images of his signifcant other in horrible torture situtations began to flood his mind, from being picked apart by vampire hating crowds, to being tormented by demons in hell for all eternity. It was obvious the black hunters were trying to use mental attacks to weaken his defenses, as a pair rushed up to Cian and swiped at him. Others tried to attack the bats that Veni was using, sensing that they were linked to something, but unsure of what.*

*Rosemary's gunshots only seemed to inflict minor damage to the demon, despite the rapid shots she fired and the deadly caliber of bullets she used. Though it's black blood poured, it seemed to shrug off the attacks.

When she went to slice off his arm, his other claw caught the blade roughly, drawing blood as it cut into his palm. The demon growled at the pain, narrowing it's eyesockets as it muttered something, closing it's fist around the weapon as it.... more of his blood oozing out. The liquid suddenly burst into life, and wrapped around Rosemary's arm. Once there, the fluid shifted into poison-tipped fine needles, and drove themselves through, creating thousands of tiny holesas they penetrated to the bone. The demon didn't waste any time forming a black sphere into one of it's claws, trying to thrust it into Rosemary's chest as it muttered another odd word... the sphere would have the effect of weakning her and making her physically ill to the extreme. The demon wanted to try to capture her alive for the soul draining flesh pillar in the grave yard.*

*So far, the mages failed to notice Cian's blade freeing Daphne.*  

[psychotic__Gal]

"Damn" Cian groaned, holding his head. It was the fire and stake scene again. From his point of view.

Daph wanted to clutch her head but she couldn't as she was bound. "CIAN!" She shouted, "MAKE IT STOP!"

Daph's shout brought Cian back to reality. He shook his head but the visions didn't stop, he fought against them. He looked to her, her eyes closed in pain. His resolve strengthened.

All of the sudden Daph felt the connection between her maker and her grow. She opened her eyes, through the pain she met Cian's eyes. It was as if they shared a conversation.

You love me?
I really do.
How? I barely know you..

He looked away but the connection stayed.

That does not mean I didn't know you.

The connection was placed on hold again as the pain became unbearable. Cian was given courage though and resolve. He had to make daph see he cared.

Cian's knives spun into control again and he shot at the black hunter, repressing the pain and concentrating on freeing the girls and bringing this sucker down.

-----

Meanwhile, Black's bindings began to loosen and the hold on her began to diminish. The power-draining bind was broken.

((Because it was actually Black the knife was trying to free...oh and, like a Jane Austen novel, I think this will end in a wedding. *starry look in eye* It will be like Veni and Rosemary...only different...))

Snarling, the abyss glanced around trying to see where that barrier had come from. Muttering a dark healing spell, it's current wounds sealed up, and the demon vanished in a thick plume of dark smoke. Out of this smoke came the black skinned, red eyed niearcim mage, twin tendrils of black magical energy shooting out of his hands, attempting to impale Rosemary through the stomach, to fill her with a powerful, draining essence. A second set shot out at the same time to either knock the guns out of her hands, or tear off her appendages to remove the weapons.

Mage: "It looks like I'll have to take a more active role in this matter...."

- - - - -

As Sephiroth tried to hurry to his friends' location, the abyss demon appeared behind him and tried to strike him down with his fiery claws, a spell already on his lips that would enable him to use his dark magic to force his way through any protective barrier.

- - - - -

Some of Cian's knives managed to stab into the sides of one of the black hunters, but this only seemed to piss off the deadly creature. He found himself having to dodge a pounce and a swipe that took off a good chunk of a tree next to him.

The black hunters that were trying to ambush Cian instead scattered, having heard Veni's swear. The vampire's sword only managed to slice deep into one of the demon's shoulders and grow wedged against one of it's carapace plates. Growling, the creature yanked out the blade and pulled on it, tugging Veni toward it as he tried to stab it's claws into his face.

After some fierce fightings, the black hunters regrouped and cloaked from sight again, taking to the tree tops. They then began to use realistic but brief hallucinations to make the vampires think an assault was coming from one direction, while they attempted to strike from another.

At this point in time, the two other mages glanced over at the soul draining structure, and noticed a floating knife cutting at the last of Daphne's binds, making progress despite the binds attempting to grow back and tie her back down. The possessed soldier immediately grabbed the handle of the telekinetically controlled blade, while the demon-form mage went after the now freed Daphne (Both Black and Daphne began to rapidly recover their strength once no longer attached to that strange flesh thing)

The soldier chanted over the blade, causing it to glow with dark energy, before hurling it against a gravestone and shattering it. This would cause a surge of painful energy to trace back to it's owner, giving him a nasty painful shock of magical lightning. The soldier niearcim then went to assist his demonic-brethren with recapturing Daphne and finding the missing kitsune.  

[psychotic__Gal]

Cian jolted on the spot, falling down, he yelped. That energy...

Daphne ended up being shocked as well. That stupid connection. She held her head and screamed, her voice lifting to the heavens and echoing off the trees.

Cian's concentration was broken by that single scream. He looked over to the soul-drainers only to find that he could not see Daphne anymore. He winced as he tried to find her...she couldn't be hurt...he'd feel it...unless was the connection broken again?

NO! Daph screamed mentally, hearing his question somehow. You got shocked you idiot.

Daphne flitted away from the demon and the mage.  

[psychotic__Gal]

((*completely forgot* oh crap...I keep forgetting they're vampires xDDDD They seem like magically equipped, and cursed humans. >.> *goes to some how fit everything in* and wait a sec....there's no sun! That was lightening! ...lightening is not the same...unless...is it daytime now? Or has it been? *so confused*))

The sun. Damn. Daphne hid behind the shadow of a mosolyem. This shadow wouldn't last. She wanted to cry out of frustration. Why the hell didn't she have anything to fight these demons? She winced as her arm brushed the side of the building. A nasty burn was bubbling.

Cian felt a distant pain in his arm. Daph had gotten burned. He growled in frustration. "You would do the same thing if it were your's." Cian said to Veni, standing, "For another matter, why are you throwing the daggers that way?!" Cian commanded his own to shoot out at the demons in front of the two men.  

[GamingLord]

The demon Veni stabbed hissed, the sword having stabbed through some of it's vitals. The creature stumbled, but the vampire wasn't done.. he swished the blade side to side in the opening he created, shredding the demon's organs, causing the thing to howl and fall over backwards, writhing as it bled to death.

Veni's test worked, revealing several hunters as some of his daggers bounced off their carapace armor, or struck flesh. The majority of the hunters attacked Cian at this point, while two preoccupied Veni. Cian's attackers swiped and bite at his limbs, trying to tear them off and make him helpess. The claws of one tried to pierce through his legs, with the intent of quickly and harshly dragging him back to the graveyard.

The black hunters that Veni faced clashed their claws with his sword, one trying to block his weapons, while the other attempted to use it's mouth to take large chunks out of the vampire.

- - - - -

The mage snarled, waving a hand as a shield of flesh grew out of his forearm, deflecting or absorbing the bullets Rosemary fired at him. He grunted, more tendril whips bursting out from his back, still trying to knock away the pesky firearms she wielded, and bind her limbs. In his other hand, he made a gesture, and sharp teeth began to push their way out of his palm. He flung these at Rosemary's face with incredible speed while his tendrils tried to bind and draw her in.

- - - - -

The abyss demon zipped back from Sephiroth's sword swipe, his wings somehow propelling him quickly away. The demon tried moved away once again when Sephiroth reached for him, but wasn't as lucky... his arm was frozen solid. Ignoring the pain, the demon took this opprotunity to have his spine-tail swish from overhead, it's bladed end piercing and digging deep into the man's arm. He the quickly threw Sephiroth into the air, and breathed a huge cloud of the unholy flame at him.

- - - - -

Niearcim Demon: "Where are you hiding, child?!"

The larger brute fiercely knocked over several tombstones, sending stone debris flying. One of the statues was toppled in frustration, crashing to bits on the ground.

Soldier: "...go help the hunter demons. I'll handle this myself."

Niearcim Demon: "Are you certain?"

Soldier: "Yes, they're taking too long to capture those creatures anyway. I'll simply have to use a little more precious energy in my search, it's no big deal."

Grunting, the larger niearcim stomped off towards the trees, intent on helping the black hunters subdue their prey. The soldier studied the area for a moment in silence.

Soldier: "I know you two can hear me. Surrender yourselves now, while you still have that option. Otherwise you'll be made to suffer worse fates once I capture you again..."

Upon not getting a response, the soldier took out a knife and began to mutter to himself. He then sliced off his own hand, and tossed the bleeding appendage into the air. The thing burst apart in a shower of blood, forming small simple creatures made of claws and eyes. They hissed as they flew about, zipping here and there, looking for the missing vampire and kitsune.
