"I can help you find your sanity." Aria whispered, baring her fangs, eyeing his neck with interest, "It is strength.. power... I can show you. If you'll let me..." She whispered, moving closer, "Let me show you..."

"If you bite me, I will kill you." He said this pleasently, in a no-nosense tone.

"You're no fun." Aria said, drawing back, "I had hoped we could do this painlessly, but I se it is not meant to be. Zaria, James, Dorian, kill him." She said, moving away so the three behind her could rush the sarafan.

The man bolted up, overturning the table on the Aria and Victoria, catching the three charging vampires mid-spring. He pivoted, kicked out, and crushed a windpipe, throwing himself lengthwise into two vampires, driving them to the ground. He pulled out a long knife, and drove it through James's eye, pinned his head to the ground. Dorian had stopped gasping, since he didn't need an airway to surivive. He grabbed Zaria's arm above the elbow, and twisted, hard. The bone snapped with a sharp retort, and he threw her into the groud, face first, before driving the heel of his boot into the base of her skull with a wetish, nauseating, scrunching sound. He eyed Dorain.

Aria leapt over the table, movement too fast to be seen she freed James and got behind the sarafan, her dagger pressed at his back, Dorian and James both holding swords at his chest while in the shadows, another of Aria's companions waited with a crossbow, "Drop you weapon and perhaps I shall let you live... though... you are so strong and attractive... you would help my house greatly..." She opened her mouth and placed her mouth at his neck, running a fang across a vein and making him shiver in pleasure, "It feels good... it does not hurt... Join me... join us..."

He sighed, then thought for a moment. "Others are holding down the fort. Besides, I would like to collect on a standing wager." He thought. "I would gladly aid your clan....alive...."

Aria smiled and muttered under her breath, "Two for House Silverwing tonight." Before moving forward, motioning for James to watch the sarafan and for Dorian to help Zaria. "Come, we ust return, dawn approaches." She moved out of the club, trenchcoat floating behind her like a shadow.

Aria ignored him, moving steadily out of the city and up the mountain, glancing east every few minutes, udging how long they had, "I hate mortals..." She hissed, "So slow... don't understand the danger... Fools the lot of them..." She muttered, moving steadily, snapping her head back at an impossible speed everytime someone stumbled on the rocky terrain.

"Not afraid, but intelligent enough to understand the dangers inherent with direct sunlight." She replied coldly, moving ahead, never slipping or stumbling. "Why did you come? Do you not understand that once you have come you will never be allowed to leave? You are no longer sarafan, no longer a hunter, you are a vampire if in name only."

He only smiled. Not a smug smile, or a smirk, but a smile that clearly stated he knew something she didn't.

Aria just raised an eyebrow. Cresting the final hill Aria let out a soft gasp and fell to her knees, tears pouring down her face and leaving red streaks, "No. No..." She whispered, denying it over and over again,. In front of her, reflected in her deep, dark eyes, a fire still burned away the remnants of her House. She spun around quickly, facing the sarafan, "You did this!" She screamed, feeling clearly the pain of her kin, "You! You shall beg for mercy before I have finished!" She rushed at him, a dagger raised.

Lyleanial grabbed her wrist, took a slice across his forearm, and slammed down the the ground with her. He rolled, and pinned her underneath him. He slapped her, sharply. She slumped, seemingly dazed. He raised an eyebrow. "Are you calm?"

Fury drove the vampire on to new hieghts of strength, she struggled beneath him, fangs bared, trying to get at his throat. Finally, she grew calmer, but still stared at him with hate filled eyes, "Let me go." She hissed. glaring at him.

"I do what I must to survive, as do my people. None in my house kill, it is against our laws." She answered calmly, "In your case, however, I could make an exception." Her hands clenched at the dirt, her black nails dug rows into the soft, damp earth, "Just let me go. The sun will rise soon. I must get away."

"No..." Her eyes grew wide, pleading, "Please. I have done nothing. I have never killed unles my life was threatened. Please..." She slumped back, seeing no mercy in those green eyes, "Not the sun, any other way, but not the sun."

"Please... not the sun..." She whispered, blood streaming down her face in place of tears. "Please. I have killed only one sarafan, only in defense. I do not hunt them for sport, unlike your peoples' treatment of mine. Just, drive a steak through my heart, cut my throat with your silver dagger, but not the sun, anything but that."

He paused, in incredulity. "Sport? This isn't sport, this is war. This is in defense of the human race." He glared at her, and considered. "You know, you remind me of someone I knew, looked a lot like you." He let go of her arm. "Go." She stared blankly at him. "Go!"

Aria paused for a moment and started off, grabbing the others following behind and leading them to a deep cave concealed in the mountain's side. Once inside and decidedly safe from the sunlight Aria paued for thought, it didn't last long as sleep overtook her.

Lyleanial took up a sentry on a pile of rocks, watching the mouth of the cave. He really wasn't sure why. He liked the chase, the feel of the adrenaline coursing through him...
He shook his head, and crouched in a postion that was semi-comfortable, and suitable for concealment. He waited.

When the sun had finally set Aria awoke, leaving the others she headed out and caught sight of the hunter, "You again? Why do you insist upon following me?" She asked, pressing her open palms to her eyes she started away, searching for a rabbit or some other rodent to keep her strength up.

"I certainly feel special now." She said tonelessly, looking around and spotting a small rabbit, she reached out a hand and grabbed the thing, draining it quickly and dropping its corpse back to the ground.

Lyleanial watched with morbid fascination, and shuddered. "I hope you don't find me saying so, but, that is truely disgusting." He shivered.
