The only times Gina left her room at a building in the center was when she was either hungry or had to feed. It was both in this case, she got up and walked out the door to the Uthlyn sunset. She pulled her black cowl over her head and started making her way to the now closing market. She saw a man closing up his produce stand. She knew this was her opportunity to get some food.
"Excuse me sir...", Gina said softly," Can I buy one of those?" She pointed at the apples the man was carrying. He lifted his head to see the beautiful woman in front of him. "Why... Why of course. It cost only a few coins", the merchant said.
Gina took a few steps closer to the man and sighed. "It seems I forgot my coin purse. I'm sure I could repay you somehow though...", she said biting her lip. As she move to whisper in his ear she quietly grabbed an apple and slipped it in her pocket. " Maybe another time though...", Gina said pulling away.
Sophia had been enjoying her new vampire powers a lot. She had all the good stuff, with only a little bit of the bad stuff. She didn't need to drink blood, which was a plus. She could, but she didn't have to. She only needed to feed on something. As she had done anyway. But she was faster, stronger, sexier. God she loved what it had done to her figure. She had just naturally gained an hourglass figure, and her breasts had gotten bigger, or so she thought.
And now she spent her nights stalking for prey, in her brand new lace and silk underwear. She got the healing factor to. Any wound just closed up and healed. And all the guys she fought seemed stunned by the lady in her underwear with the black katana.
So as she walked around the streets in a loose robe, the one she used to wear, she saw someone stealing her thunder with an apple merchant. Another girl, by the looks of her, mortal, stealing Sophia's tricks?!
"Hey." With unnatural speed, she stood next to the woman.
"Put the handsome gentleman's apple back, before I put it back, and put your head next to it."
Gina was so easily stealing apples from this poor man. She felt bad for these people sometimes. I mean, she was totally taking advantage of him. Just as she pulled away and turned around she saw another woman. She was completely caught off guard and let a a quiet squeal. She backed up a few steps in hearing her words. "I...uh...I don't know what your talking about!", Gina said. She took a step past the other woman and tried to leave the area, only to be followed.
"I was talking to you thief." Sophia teleported in front of the woman, drawing her black Katana. Well. Technically it was a Daitō. But that was an argued point. It was long enough to be a Daitō, so it was one to her. And the blade was straight. So she would call it that.
"Put. The apple. Back."
Gina was completely shocked to see the woman appear in front of her. She immediately took the apples out of her pocket and handed them to her. Her eyes still fixed on the Katana. "Ok ok... We don't need any violence here. Because I assure you, that is not what either of us want", GIna said nervously. She then turned and waited for the woman to give the apples back. After that she tried to come u with an excuse this." Perhaps we got off on the wrong foot...I'm Gina.", She said holding her hand out.
Sophia handed the apples to the merchant, and turned to the thief woman, feeling something instinctual.
"We need to talk. Privately."
Gina heard her serious tone and rolled her eyes.
"Okay...what do you need?", Gina said.
"What are you?" In an instant, the long, traipsing robes and clothes fell off, revealing her flawless form. A nervous enemy meant intimidated prey.
"You're not human. I'd smell your blood."
"Well...", Just as Gina said that the womans clothes fell off. Normally, she would have been fine but right now Gina was practically drooling. Gina tried to stop gazing but she had lots of trouble.
"I'm...well, I'm...Oh My God... I'm just like you...", Gina said not paying attention to her eyes.
"Like me? And what gave you that idea?" Sophia let herself bare her fangs at this woman, holding her daitō point first to the woman's throat.
"And I noticed you're nervous. Did I break your concentration? You should see the men I've killed. Ha! They're stiff long before I kill them."
Gina was so distracted she only looked up to see her fangs. She immediately knew and bared her fangs also for a quick second." How...", she said,"well, first off... You look like one, and secondly, I would be able to tell." Gina put her hand on the blunt part of the katana and moved it away from her." I need to eat you know, why did you do that?" Gina STILL wasn't looking up, and she totally disregarded the woman's last remark.
"If you are going to tease a man like that, at least give him something for his apples. If you had been giving him a kiss then maybe I wouldn't have intervened. But you were seducing a poor helpless merchant, when you could have any man you want." Sophia grinned. She lowered her weapon slightly.
"Why? Why not give him something? Stealing is wrong after all. Even a kiss would have stopped me." Sophia's eyes darted to movement in her peripheral, seeing a rather thuggish man approaching. She made no effort to acknowledge him.
Gina lowered her head in shame at the point she said. Gina thought about why she didn't give him anything. Not even a little dab on the cheek. Her shame was ended quickly because she had the answer. She is a lesbian. So it didn't bother her much. "I don't know, I never realized that. But if a kiss would stop you why don't I just kiss you?, Gina said playfully.
Sophia's eyes thinned as she gave a cheeky smile.
"I think our gathering audience want a show. Go on then." The words were whispered. Sophia used her knickers to hold her daitō, putting her hand on Gina's shoulder. What she said next was significantly louder.
"How about a kiss then." Sophia was careful to act as though she hadn't spotted the several brutish men enclosing them. She examined them all for weak spots. Groin, groin, face, groin, forehead.
Her reaction startled Gina but she did notice the men closing in, so she played it cool. She turned her head and bit her lip trying to look as inviting as possible. "I don't see why not.", Gina said seductively.
Gina put her hand on the woman's cheek. Pulled her in and gave he a long passionate kiss. Barely able to pull away but knowing she would look strange she lossened her grip and pulled away. Looking back into her eyes she smiled.
"How was that?
OOC: lol it's strange to write as a lesbian being a guy.
((OOC: I know, it's so strange cause you can relate, like "Yeah, I've kissed a girl" but then you begin to think it MUST be different, and you're like, "uhh"))
"Lovely, thank you." Sophia gave a sweet smile, and noticed a few of the guys were looking rather smug.
"Oh hello boys. Didn't see you there..." Sophia took an exceptionally seductive pose, and winked at one of them.
Then in a puff of purple smoke, one of the men had a sword in their back.
"No man approaches that cautiously and smugly without having some sick and twisted plan in their heads you perverts."
As a man was stabbed in the back, Gina gasped. Yeah, He was a sick perv, but still they could be non lethal. Gina then saw two of the other men run and only one drew his sword. Gina walked over to the last man and casted a spell. As life slipped away from him she stopped her spell. The man, barely breathing and scared whimpered in fear.
"Go! Before I change my mind!", Gina screamed
Sophia had killed a second man, one of the runners, and watched as Gina let the third go.
"You idiot! What the hell was that? You think they would have shown us mercy? They would have just had their fun and left!" Sophia threw her hands up over her head in frustrations, forgetting that she was waving a cold, black-steel, thousand folded daitō around too. It felt like a sharp cutting edge of her arm, not a sword.
Gina was startled by Sophia's hostility. Gina took a step back and made a very confused look. "Hey! We're on the same team here!", Gina spoke loudly. Gina then took a few steps closer trying not to alarm Sophia. "If they all died, no-one would be alive to tell the tale, we send a message by leaving one alive." Gina stepped closer and closer to Sophia and put her hand on her shoulder. "Calm down", Gina said softly.
Sophia looked at Gina warily before finally losing her nerve. "You really irritate me. I like you. But you irritate me." Sophia's lip curled slightly as she put her sword away. She would not take that as an excuse next time.
She noticed the one guy breathing through the corner of her eye.
"Fancy a drink?" Sophia knelt down beside him showing him her fangs before winking.
"I'll be gentle sweetheart. Won't feel a thing." That was a lie.
"Oh please...", Gina muttered. Gina lowered down to the man on the ground and sighed,"yeah I could use one..." Less then a second later Gina's fangs were out, frightening the man. "Please,please, no!, the man screamed hopelessly. One second later her fangs were in his throat. Sucking the blood out of him. "Hm...tastes like fear.", Gina said laughing,"Well... I'm still hungry, how bout we get a bite to eat?"
"Never said she would be." Sophia took a few gulps, feeling rather rejuvenated, and stood up.
"Sure, I'm hungry. What you hungry for?" Sophia would eat anything right now, as long as it was a cooked meal. God she was hungry. And drinking the blood had just made her hungrier. It was as if she had enticed herself. And honestly, she had.
"I am hungry for anything right now."
"Well...there's a bakery down the road", Gina said pointing in that direction. Gina then took a few steps,looked back and said,"You coming?"
"Yeah, I think I will. Although I'll probably go for a cooked meal later, so won't have much." Sophia picked up her robes, and put them on, sheathing her sword.
"Lead the way."
Gina and Sophia walked through the streets with a certain swagger. Their stares daring any man to approach. "So...What do you do? As in hobbies, I guess.", Gina said while walking.
"I practice martial arts. Loads of styles. And my swordswomanship." She made the last sentence louder, so that she actually could attract some dude. Hopefully.
"You?" She wasn't really paying attention to much. She was just thinking how she didn't want to spend tonight alone.
"Well...I don't know, I don't have much fun. I just kind of research the arts and magic all the time." Gina's body felt tingly,"though I do need to have fun more often", Gina said with an emphasis on fun.
"Haha, you haven't seen fun until you see me drunk, haha!" They arrived at the bakery, and Sophia stepped inside.
"Hey, what do you say I go and earn some free bread?" Sophia grinned, hiding her fangs from view.
Gina laughed at her remark." Sure I am quite hungry.", Gina said,"Watch this..."
Gina walked up to the counter and said," excuse me, can I have some bread and wine please?" When the man walked up to her and handed her the wine she purposefully bumped into him making the wine spill all over her. She made the wine fall on her strategically to expose her breasts. "Oh my... Look what you did!?!", Gina said. "Oh... I'm so...so sorry miss..."
"*sigh*, It's fine...", Gina said while picking the mans pocket and pulling out some coins. " Here", she said holding out the coins,"this is for a new bread and wine"
" Oh no need miss. They're on the house.", the man said.
"You boys should be more careful..." She stood angled so that her leg was out of her cloak.
"I think I'll pass on the bread actually. However, Mr Baker Boy in the back I'll take..." She was about to go into the back, when she felt a hand on her shoulder.
"What about me pretty girl?" She recognised the voice well.
"Hello Rex. Well, you don't get anything. How's about you leave me and my friend alone? You don't want to annoy me today." Rex was an old acquaintance of hers. A tall, scruffy, thuggish man who was clearly trying to compensate for something.
"We'll that went well.", Gina said turning to Sophia. Gina put the food on the table and took off her shirt, Showing her tight undershirt. " Anyway, who's your friend?"
Ooc: Undershirt meaning a wrap around her torso or something like that.
"Introduce yourself Rex. Come on, don't tell me you're shy cause you've never seen a woman in her undershirt..." Sophia pushed the man's shoulder, and he gave a small bow.
"Rex Veroso. Nice to meet you." Rex turned back to Sophia. "Well you'd know..."
"Very funny..."
"Rex,huh? Nice to meet you", Gina said. Gina took a bite of her bread. "How do you know each other?", she said still chewing.
"The idiot tried to steal from me, then tried to make it all better in bed. He still owes me. Oh, and he's like us. My doing." Sophia went and sat down, pulling up a chair for Rex.
"Come on Sophia, you aren't still holding that grudge are you?"
Gina laughed," He sounds like a piece of work." Gina took a drink of wine." Good job making him...special. Gotta spread the love, ya know." Gina sighed," this place blows, lets do something fun... I know a place where..." Her sentence was interrupted by Rex." This "thing" is really a blessing"
"Bye bye Rexy-boy. Come find me if you get any better." Sophia stood up, smiling at her fellow half vampire, then at Gina.
"As I was saying... Well, what do you want to do now?", Gina said smiling.
"Where were you talking about? I'd like to go and visit that." Sophia was curious about this place, and wondered what and who would be there.
"Okay well...", she paused before finishing," I know a pace where they hold fights" Gina hoped Sophia wouldn't think she was strange. " I like to bet on them, though you look like you could be a combatant.", Gina said with a smile. "It's by where I live too"
"A fight club?! HELL YEAH!" Sophia loved the idea.
"Prizes?"
" I don't know what the prizes are. But they are good. People work their ass off for this.", Gina answered. " I've been studying martial arts in my free time, I'm just a beginner but I know enough not to get fucked up in every fistfight. C'mon, lets go!", Gina said taking Sophia's hand. She led her all the way to the abandoned building that was her home and walked inside." Just a little warning, no killing. I repeat, NO killing. You'll get banned." Gina led Sophia into the basement of this building and heard the chants before they were even close. Gina opened the door to a ring, fighters, and a paying crowd. "Here we are"
"Awesome..." Sophia studied the combatants.
"Is it just a no killing rule?" Sophia needed to know how violent she could get.
"That...and no hitting someone's manhood, or womanhood.", Gina said. "The combatants gather over there and, for gods sake win. Ill be betting on you.", Gina said with a wink.
"Of course. And I am not gonna let you down." Sophia turned, and went through all the process of signing up, staying in her robes for now.
When she was finally called up to fight, she smiled, entering the arena.
The guy she was up against was big. Around 6'9", with huge muscles, a scruffy stubble, and lots of scars.
And of course, the crowd went silent when she dropped her robe, revealing her underwear and flawless body.
"Let's get this started."
The crowd went silent when she dropped her robes. Then a few seconds later everyone started cheering. The loudest whistling and screaming Gina ever heard. The other fighter had such a noticeable erection that it was funny. In his embarrassment he tried to angle his body in a way to hide it. Which only made him even weaker. "Just beat him already so I can get my 50 coins!", Gina shouted.
Sophia strutted over to him.
"What's wrong sweetie? Scared?" Sophia lifted his chin as if to kiss him, and instead swung a vicious hook to the face.
He struggled to his feet after the collapse and Sophia smiled sweetly. As the man got up, Sophia walked over, and helped him up. As soon as he was upright, Sophia put one leg over his shoulder, and in a swift movement, kicked his legs out from underneath him, landing on her side.
"Get up! Go on!"
Gina was ecstatic. She was so entertained watching Sophia year this guy a new asshole.
" KICK HIS ASS!!!", Gina screamed.
"Aww sweetie, why don't you get your punk ass up so I can beat you down some more?!" Sophia saw the guy struggle to his feet again, clearly dazed.
"There we go. Not so hard, is it? Well, getting up. Staying up... Different story." The man growled at the insult, and threw a blind punch at her. With her vampire powers she saw it coming, and pulled him to her, kissing him, before kneeing him in the side, and kicking him into the barrier.
This time, he didn't get up, but he wasn't dead. She'd won.
"YEAH! WHO'S NEXT ASSHOLES?!"
Gina now was hauling in the coins. She had made more from that then any fight before. Seriously, who would have thought that she would win. That is, if you don't know her. One man stepped up in the rink, smaller then the last but still pretty big. At about 6 feet 5 inches this man stood. Wraps around his fists ready to fight. A second later," Go!!!!", the announcer screamed.
Sophia charged the man at stupid speeds, and using her martial arts, slid underneath him, flipping him, before spinning around and sidekicking him in the stomach, knocking him out and sending him flying.
"Hey Gina, I thought I'd get these weaklings over with quickly, so they can send in the heavyweights!" The way Sophia was leaning over the crowd to see, a lot of people got close ups of her breasts, which just made the crowd a bit wilder.
She had already decided that the guy that beats her is the one she's taking to bed that night.
The only thing left between glory and victory and defeat, was the rings champion. As the champion stepped up the crowd went absolutely silent. He was the best fighter in town, and everyone was waiting for this insane match. Gina held her breath as the announcer screamed, "GO!!"
Maybe Sophia didn't hear the announcer. Or the new fighter. Or was too busy in her glory. Because she felt the fist plough straight into her face, breaking her right upper fang, and making everything incredibly painful.
"Now I'm pissed boy." She headbutted the guy with lightning speed, punching him straight in the gut. And then she felt him kick her leg. And the horrible crunch as bone broke.
"AGH!" She staggered backwards, trying to ignore the agony. The pain was searing hot and unbearable but she would take it. She would win.
Before she could move to hurt him, he landed a punch that looked to be in her stomach.
And now this guy had punched her in the spot her freaking ovaries were.
She grabbed his throat, then his crotch, and physically lifted the brute over her head, watching him try and move in conclusion, before dropping him on her knees.
That crunch was the sound of ribs and spines. She checked his pulse, making he was alive, before delivering a final kick to the ribs.
"Fuck you. Dickhead."
Everyone booed when she was hit in her private parts. That was surely against the rules, but in this fight there were no rules. Her response caused a completely different reaction though. The cracking and popping of his spine made the crowd completely silent, and sick to their stomachs. Gina rushed down to the ring and gave Sophia a huge hug.
"Holy shit! That was fucking awesome!", she screamed. The crowd still, was completely silent."I saw some dude throw up!", Gina spoke again.
Gina now realized what Sophia had really won. The prize room. Gina's eyes went wide just remembering the prize room." Follow me.", she said.
Sophia took two steps before she caved to injury, and just collapsed. Seconds later, she blacked out due to pain.
((OOC: Sorry for the short post, but I don't think anyone can take a broken leg, punches and kicks like that, and not pass out because of the pain))
Gina gasped as she collapsed to the ground. She was so busy celebrating that she did not noticed the beating Sophia took. She kneeled down to Sophia's level, wondering of she would be alright. She then picked her up and held her like a baby and walked to her house. "Agh! God damn!", Gina screamed. She set Sophia on her bed and started to prepare a medicinal mixture. Every other second she looked over to see if she was okay. When she finished she mixed it with water to make a tea like drink. She tried not to worry but, her new friend was definetly injured. She was a vampire though, she would most likely bounce back. "Damn it Sophia...You certainly did put on a good show, though.", Gina said as she smiled." You better be awake tommorrow morning, We'll do something less...dangerous.", Gina spoke as she dozed off to sleep.
Sophia woke up feeling rather well. Until she tried to move.
She couldn't move her leg, the broken one, and her stomach and ribs hurt so badly. He ovaries felt bruised too. Abusive bastard.
"Gina? You there? I don't think this is gonna heal too quickly."
Gina was awoken by Sophia's voice."huh?... Yeah, yeah I'm here", Gina said. She looked at Sophia, hurt and broken, lying there. She should never have told her to fight. She felt so bad that she put her friend in danger. She felt so guilty. "Don't worry, we're at my house. You're gonna be fine...Here, drink this.", Gina said holding out the medicinal tea.
Sophia drank the tea, finding it tasted foul. "What the hell is that stuff? Tastes like nettles." She drank the cup, figuring it was worth it, if it helped.
"What was the prize?" Sophia hadn't just gone through that for nothing. She wouldn't go through it for nothing. She had earned that prize.
"Don't tell me you didn't pick the prize up for me?"
Gina smiled as Sophia complained." It's medicine, so yeah, it's gross.", Gina said. Sophia's next question made her smile even wider.
"Well... I couldn't pick up the prize...", Gina said with a wide smile.
"You what?!" Sophia tried to stand, wanting to rush to collect the prize. And she did well, but that leg wasn't healing. She wasn't full vampire, and she didn't heal too fast. She could heal minor cuts, but nothing this serious.
"We've gotta go get it!"
Sophia seemed so agitated, which made Gina laugh. She shook her head and lightly forced Sophia back in her bed."Lay down girl, I couldn't pick it up because its a horse!", Gina said excitedly. Gina had hoped Sophia would be happy about the prize. It was quite the fine steed also.
"Rest,Sophia, wouldn't want to ruin that body of yours...", Gina added.
"Look at you, interested in my body. Maybe when my leg heals. If I give you coin, find a magician healer? I don't care how shady, just get me a bloody healer, I want my leg fixed." She was happy, smiling, but wasn't too aggravated.
"That's good then. Got some way to get around."
Gina blushed when Sophia called her out. "Shut up...", Gina said smiling. Gina couldn't help but blushing, it was embarrassing. Sophia was a beauty, but Gina tried to be subtle. "You don't need to give me coin. Remember, I have that merchants money.", Gina said holding the coin pouch up. "Also, Any idea where I can find a healer?"
"The darkest, shadiest alley around, where guards wouldn't go. If not, bring me someone who can fix it. Some nobleman's healer."
Gina nodded once more and walked outside into the morning sun. She pulled the hood over face not to draw attention. She walked southwest through the city until she got to the slums. She strolled through the broken part of town where artists and musicians who can't get a job hopelessly keep going at it. She walked to the down the street to the corner.
"Who is there?", A creaky voice said as she walked in.
"I... I need a healer.",she answered.
"Well",he murmured,"today is your lucky day." Be turned around to reveal himself. He was a very old man with long white hair and a full grown beard.
"Come with me.", she said simply. Gina led him all the way across town, people watching as they walked. She bursted through the door to Sophia with the "healer"
"Take a look.", Gina ordered.
