A bit..., Open;;

[Seiji]

Seiji moved silently.. It was about noon, here due to boredom really... his Keeper, was sleeping at this hour... And he knew, that he was just not to leave the grounds... or so he told himself.. He could not stand being inside one place all of the time... It made him feel like he was more of a captive then he felt the need to be... He knew, somehow, that there was no leaving anything anymore.. when you consider it, he now "knew to much"... Although, he didn't think anything would be done to him... but, what else is he going to do, right?

He had wandered for quite awhile now, not fully sure where he was... errm.. right, hopefully he'd find his way back before night fall, but for now, he was intent on staying out doors... He was walking about, hands in his blue jean pockets. The white shirt he was wearing, was slightly big on him, but it didn't bother him to much... It looked bigger yet on him, due to the top two buttons being undone. But he honestly did not think it mattered, not really, he saw no reason for it to... it seemed empty out here, it was really quite after all.

Which, was probably why he was out here, no one could look at him oddly, or look at him period... he had gotten tired of being watched over so constantly... Not like he could do anything about it however... out here, it was not as much of an issue.

Violet hues, gazed skyward, seeing the blue sky through tree limbs as the breeze blew by, and allowed the flight to flitter around on the ground, he could not help the gentle smile that soon was on his face... this is probably what he missed most, being in the sun... He stayed up during the night, just to have someone to talk to... And today, he was trying to keep himself up, just to spend some time outside...

But, soon he found himself, sitting under one of the trees, letting his gaze remain up at the sky... He smiled softly... And what he did next, he really didn't mean to do that either... he fell asleep, leaning against the tree he sat under... blonde hair shadowed his face from his head leaning to a side... Blond hair covered his right eye as he allowed himself to rest...

[Serafima]

Wasn't this unusual, a vampire out in daylight. And one for whom the sun was extremely lethal. However, the sun was dealt with by this one. The vampiric female turned the light away from her by wrapping herself in shadows. Her eyes were a neon blue-hue and glowed in the darkness. Her hair was pitch black and appeared quite unkempt - even though it was nicely brushed - and the clothing she wore seemed to be moth-eaten and ancient. It was a black ruffled dress that she wore, though there were a few holes here and there, and it came to just about her knees. She walked barefoot - so it was no wonder her feet were filthy like those of a beggar child - and moved with the feral nimbleness of a feline. Her name, Serafima. Her title, Lady of Darkness, Head of the House of Zatemnja. Just like her hair and her clothes, she was just as black-hearted as she appeared. Her gaze was bitter and cold, eternally furious for some unknown reason.

It didn't take too much strength to create her own, personal darkness, and seeing as there was little light in this forest anyway, she was quite fine. Certainly it would have been more pleasant to sleep during the day...but an annoying little thing had been nagging her, gnawing on her brain. There was a presence, a mind she sensed, which she did not know. It had appeared not too long ago and had accompanied a mind which she knew quite well, and so she had dismissed it. However, now this being was without the one she knew, and it was out in her woods...it agitated her. Well, he should feel honored - bringing Serafima out of her house was quite an accomplishment, particularly during the daytime. So this ancient, cold vampiress made her way towards the sleeping child. Once her eyes laid upon him, she stopped, her gaze narrowing. Although Seiji was a full grown man, he was still a child compared to herself.

The Lady of Darkness stood in waiting. Cold fury radiated from her being and the ominous entity awaited the awakening of the human boy. She had no tolerance for humans in her woods. Even if the boy was a vessel, he should remain in the house as is expected of him. Her patience was nonexistant and out came her silky, venomous voice. "Taking a nap?" Although it was phrased as a question, it was obvious that it was meant solely to rouse the boy from his slumber and demand an answer as to why he was out here. From her darkness peered out those iridescent blue eyes, boring holes into the boy's head. There would be respect and order in her house, anything less than that was unacceptable, and any breaking of her rules was inexcusable. There would be hell to pay for this blatant disregard of rules.

[ooc: *giggles* I couldn't resist xD lol]

[Seiji]

[aww... xD Sage doesnt know any better.. XD]

Sage had only been in a light slumber... but it was still deep enough to not hear the others approach. He jumped slightly, when words were finally given, violet hues blinked a few times, looking up... to what seemed almost like a mass of black shadow with blue eyes peering out... "I-I'm sorry.." He murmured gently.. Moving, and quickly getting to his feet, allowing his gaze to go down and to a side.. He hadn't meant to wander so far, he was just going stuf-crazy having been kept inside for as long as he had been... This was the first time, in a very long while that he even left the house... Although, he didn't see why he said sorry, but by the others tone, he felt it was needed... All he did was go on a walk... and sorta... get a bit lost... but, he had meant no harm in the very lease.

[Serafima]

His gut response had been a wise one. Had anything other than an apology been stammered from his lips, Seiji would have been in some serious trouble. Those cruel, unforgiving eyes continued to stare at the boy as her lips moved, "You came in with Vincent, I assume you are his vessel?" Again the voice necessitated an answer; in the same manner as before. Serafima had once been a kinder person, but now she was not...and Seiji had not been alive all those years ago, so he received only her cruelty. The Lady of Darkness stood in the same spot, unmoving and with an aura of swirling calamity. It was as if her eyes alone could wreak havoc upon this world, and essentially they could.

Even if he was out here for innocent reasons, it didn't matter. "You are not allowed to wander these woods alone, boy." She knew his name...but she refused to use it, she would not even give him that amount of respect. He was just a child to her, a useless human whose only purpose was to live so that her kind could drink. It had been well over six thousand years since she had been a human, and roughly half that time since she had cared about anything even the slightest bit. No, she cared for nothing. Not even the one who had turned her....well, actually, that was a bald-faced lie. If anything, he was the only one she had ever cared about. Since him, Serafima herself had not turned many vampires, their numbers were quite incredibly few. Part of this was the fact that she rarely left her house except when she absolutely had to.

[Seiji]

Seiji frowned slightly, but kept his gaze elsewhere, and when asked, he answered, "yes ma'am." after all, he was Vincent's vessel... So there was no reason not to say so... He stood silently, remaining quiet as he stood... and when she continued, he blinked a few times.. Wasn't allowed out here? "I apologize, i hadn't known.." he stated gently... Still avoiding eye contact.. His gaze on the ground before him... He wasn't sure what to do now... He wasn't sure which way was back, so he'd have to wait until she either took him back it seemed, or left, for him to try and find it.. which, could very well be hours finding his way back.. but.. ehhh... that and it was going to be getting dark soon, so Vince would wake, and find out he left, although he didn't go far, it just made him feel guilty when he worried the vampire, considering he helped him out of that mess in the first place...

[Serafima]

Terrifying much? Maybe it had not been drawn to Seiji's attention just yet, but the skies were darkening just a bit faster than normal...as if the light were being sucked from the heavens. Serafima's face had clouded, though her shroud of darkness did not reveal her facial expressions...there was still just a hint of light in the sky, and that alone was lethal to her. He apologized? The Lady of Darkness frowned, a new emotion - one of cold fury - leapt up within her eyes. His very words about not having known implied that a member of her house was not following her rules, and this made Serafima very, very pissed.

"Allow me to inform you then," her tone was cold and vicious, "Vessels are not permitted to leave the house without their accompanying master or myself. Vessels are to be nothing more than just that, vessels. You are nothing boy, let me remind you of that." She wielded the word "vessel" as a knife, deadly and flesh-seeking, and spoke the word "boy" with utter disdain and mocking. As all of her house knew, Serafima had no tolerance for disobedience. There were laws, and those laws were to be followed, and if they were not then there were dire consequences. Her piercing blue eyes had narrowed fiercely and, without warning, a pale hand snaked out to grab the "boy" by the neck with an astoundingly firm grip. It was not only unlikely that the boy would evade it, but improbable. She would bring him to within an inch of his life for his impudence - though actually Serafima was more furious with Vincent for not informing his vessel of the rules, Seiji was just a scapegoat at the moment...poor Seiji-goat.

[Seiji]

But you see, there was one thing, that Seiji probably had going for him, and in the long run might of been bad in this case, was quick reactions.. he noticed the hand, and he started to move before it got all that close to him, so instead of neck, she grabbed shirt... So, okay, he wasn't quicker then a vampire in total, but the fact he had to dodge this sort of thing all the time from whom he had called father, was the main point here... He was ust to having to get away quickly.. But, not sure if this was good right now.. Violet hues had widend slightly, and his gaze went to her.. He could understand that he broke a rule of hers, but was it his fault if he hadn't known... He barely realized it, but he was trembling at the moment.. Just what in the hell had this all gotten him into? First he got drugged, and thrown into that ring.. Next he knew he was under the care of a vampire.. and now what he would guess was his 'masters' master was now pissed off at him.. though, he did not fully understand why, all he did was take a walk.. it wasn't like he really did anything to hurt anybody.. And it wasn't like he wasn't going to go back...

[Serafima]

There was absolutely no show of the small surprise she felt when he reacted quick enough to have her grab his collar rather than his neck itself...unfortunately for him. The "lady" growled low and, quick as a flash, her other hand was upon him, seeking to choke the life from him. "It's not your fault little boy, your master didn't teach you well enough to survive me." She taunted him in a mocking tone, relishing in his quivering. Serafima forcefully pulled him towards her, an irresitible tug, and her blood red lips were now mere inches from his neck. She hissed lowly, but rather than bite him, a wet tongue trailed upwards to his chin as she licked him instead. Her head was tilted slightly to the right so that she could get that close to his neck, and so it was only her left eye that was able to look up at him. That cruel, unforgiving gaze never left him...so full of anger, so full of hatred. "Pretty toys are meant to be broken," her voice now no more than a sultry whisper, spoke into his ear as her lips were so near to it. As she could hear his breath grow ragged and more gasping, Serafima released her iron-clad grasp after only about four seconds.

Glaring at the filthy human with utmost contempt and fury, the vampiress spat and exposed her fangs slightly over her lips. "You would do well to heed my rules, as they are law here. I have no tolerance for disobedience and no patience for humans." She spoke the word "human" as if to imply that they were the lowest form of life on the planet, absolutely worthless living beings. It was clear that she despised human, but her anger seemed almost entirely unfounded. Her piercing eyes remained narrowly sharply and always watching Seiji. "Find your own way back," I'll be watching. There was only a second of a gap between when her words were said aloud and when they were silently spoken from her mind to his. It was not only a demand, but a threat. My, my...someone had most certainly gotten on the wrong side of the wrong vampire.

[Seiji]

He tried his best to not struggle, to not make it worse, witch, for the most part he suceeded, and he was actually proud of himself for that... And when she licked him, he didn't mean to, but he did... Breath was held, and eyes had closed tightly... When she stopped, he couldn't stop the sound escaping his throat... He wasn't really sure why he had to be here... He didn't understand why he was getting in trouble for this... he hadn't chosen this.. but meh.. When she finally let go enough, in total, he gasped slightly, trying to calm his heart and breathing... And at the 'find your own way back'... well... She may be just watching for hours then... since he didn't have any damn clue....
