Aria gave him a blood covered sneer, "You think it is disgusting to watch mortal? Try doing it." She picked up the limp rabbit corpse and threw it at him, hissing under her breath, "Murderer."

He leaned to the side. "Well, technically, is it muder to kill something that it is already dead? Legally, I am not entirely sure." He paused. "I can understand that nutritional benifit, but, the pychological side would always get to me."

"You have no idea." She mutterd, walking up toward the ruined house to try and salvage a few bits and pieces, most things were burned beyond recognition but there were a few old paintings in the basement, some old bits of clothing, a few coffins had even escaped destruction. Aria took one of these and tossed everything that was left into it, dragging it slowly back to the cave, even with her unnatural strength it was heavy and she paused halfway back down the mountain and stared at the hunter still watching her, "Go away. Haven't you already had a nice laugh tonight?"

The Sarafan jumped down, and picked up the other side of the coffin. "Well, you see, I haven't laughed tonight. I really don't see why you have a vendetta against me. I did nothing."

"No nothing at all. The stil smoldering remains of my house on the mountain are just an odd coincidence aren't they?" She yanked the coffin out of his hands, it fell and opened, spilling its contents to the ground, Aria began picking them up, baring her fangs when he tried to help.

He rasied an eyebrow. "So, you are blaming me, since I am a sarafan, and sarafan destroyed your home?"

"Praise the Goddess something has penetrated your thick skull!" She cried out, slamming the coffin lid shut and strting back toward the cave, "Of course, I can't possibly imagine how I would have come up with the conclusion that maybe you had something to do with it. I must be paranoid..." She reached the cave and leaned the coffin up against the wall by the entrance, walking in slowly, something wasn't right. An anguished scream rent the air around her, echoed out of the cave, "they killled them! They killed them! And they've taken the girl." She clenched her fists and pounded them on the ground, "NO NO NO NO NO! This isn't fair! This isn't right!" She stood, "Come out and face me assassin! Come out!" She screamed into the gloom, but no one answered.

"Blaming me is like blaming one vampire for the murder of a town the another committed. Now, you see, every vampire can be held responsible for drinking blood, but, not every Sarafan can be held responsible for killing off a vampire clan." He looked up at her scream, and walked over.
"Whoever did it won't answer. Besides, all's fair in love and war..."

Aria shoved past him, still holding a handful of dust that had once beenone of her dearest friends and stormed out of the cave. Reaching into the coffin she had procured the vampire pulled out a beautiful, diamond edged sword and snapped it into a scabbard at her side. She began to search methodically around the cave, ears ready for any sound. "I'm going to turn you! Then you will know how it is to be hunted!" She screamed, "Hide! Hide sarafan. He who does not dare attack but in our sleep! You are on my territory now, this place is my home!"

Aria snarled, her eyes turning vaguely red for the barest second before returning to normal. Slowly, stiffly she started into the woods, not making a sound, drawig a deep breath into unused lungs and smelling the air, she turned slowly and headed up the mountain, following the scent of human blood.

"Why are you sorry? It's war isn't it? Just stake me while my back is turned. Please. Do me a favor." She movde ahead angrily through the underbrush, singing softly to calm herself, "Sleeping Beauty Poisoned and hopeless You're far beyond a visible sign of your awakening Failing miserably to find a way to comfort you Far beyond a visible sign of your awakening And hiding from some poisoned memory Poisoned and hopeless Sleeping Beauty.." She heard a snap and glanced back, "Are you still fllowing me? What are you going to do? Aid your kin or aid me? Or neither? Will you just sit back and laugh?"

"When I'm dead get that girl Victoria back to the city." She called out, not looking back, "And take the amulet away, throw it in the ocean, bury it, but dno't let Them know she has it... or any of the other houses."

Aria glared back at him, but soon realized it was the truth. Her adrenaline had long drained away, and she was hungry, the rabbit had done little to sate her. Aria leaned on a tree and slid down to the forest floor, closing her dark eyes, bloody tears pouring from them as she pulled at her hair and curled up on the forest floor, shaking.

He walked over, and tossed her his cloak. It was a long cut of dark grey wool, cable knit, heavy and thick. He sat down beside her, watching. "Quiet night, isn't it?"

"If I don't feed soon I'll go insane. Have you ever seen a blood crazed vampire? They have killed cities... " She was shaking worse than before. "I need blood, any blood, human blood..." She looked at him with pleading eyes and they slowly raked across his wrist. "Please... If you won't then it would be best to stake me. I would rather be dead than blood crazed."

He gave her a long look, pulled out a hand crossbow, cocked it, and pressed it against her skull, behind her ear. Not lightly. He lifted his wrist, watching her guardedly.

Aria reached for the wrist slowly, carefully, mindful of the crossbow behind her ear, when it was not fired and her cold hand held his wrist she set it at her lips and bit down very softly, drinking only as much as she needed and then dropping the appendage. A faint tinge of color came back to her face and her eyes grew bright again as she stood slowly, "Thank you. Not many would trust one of my kind." She started to move, on up the mountain.

OOC: i am going to post more but i do not have alot of Internet time
IC: There was a human scream, male , not far off in the mountains. followed by another and the sound of battle, All sarafan weapons had a slight ting to them when they hit steel it was a sarafan battle. The noise died down quickly and was followed by the sound of a fire. Then the blue daemon stood at the mouth of the cave." I warned you sarafan, the vampires here have done nothing wrong that they could help, and you wiped out a hole clan. The dead has been repaid." Raziel started to walk away, he was in the sunlight before he glanced back at the sarafan. "and a fair warning to you Kain himself is less then a day away from here, he was coming to inspect this clan good luck." With that razeil disappeared into the spectral plan.

Victoria sat back against the wall in the bar that Aria had taken her to that night. She hid in a crevice, frightened and shivering, fondling the amulet in her grasp. The bar was empty, closed for the day, so she was left to her thoughts. She didn't know what Aria had in mind for her, her mind was still whirling. And that man... who was he? No one had explained anything to her, only that she had to hide her necklace. "What are you my friend?" she asked the amulet, looking at it fondly, being only the remaining thing left of her grandfather. "That girl knows... I'll force her to tell me. If she ever comes back...." she whispered, though no one was listening.

Aria inclined her head to the daemon. "My thanks. And my clan will be prepared... What is left..." Her words trailed off and she turned around and started back down the mountain. "My house has been destroyed. Tell Kain that if he seeks for what remains we will be in a cave nearby."

He streched, cracked his jaw, and yawned. "I suppose this is where we part company. I have a city to return to, and you, I suppose, have a clan to rebuilt."

"I'm going to the city also. I must find my young companion. Hopefully she remained in or around the club." Aria looked up and studied the sky, "It is still many hours until dawn. But it will be most difficult to return here with the girl. Is there, perhaps, a place within the city you know of where I could remain?"

He thought for a moment. "You aren't staying at my house, or the guildhall. Do you happen to have a bolt-hole somewhere? I could always find a coal cellar to stash you in, I suppose. If I agree to this."
