Blinded In Chains

[Cifero Windtail]

Zephyr  turned around and ran over to them, glancing at Kitane's side briefly. "You're fine," he said.
"YAHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
The feline glanced back to see that Isabel had disarmed her mother and had the tip of one of her daggers at her mother's neck.
"And so is Isabel, apparently..." He walked back over to Isabel, motioning with his tail for Johnny and Kitane to follow.

[JohnnyP789]

(*eyes narrow.* Atticus....)

Atticus follows behind zephyr and turned to look at kitane," are you okay?"

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Holding her side a little, she offers a slight nod. "Yeah, it's just a bruise." She smiles at him, slightly limping as she walked.

[Cifero Windtail]

Isabel's mother chuckled lightly. "You will never win, dear daughter... just because you and your friends have beaten me and some others does not mean you will win."
Isabel glared at her parent. "We'll see..."
Zephyr looked at the vampiress with interest. "Why did you attack us?"
The catwoman gave the other cat a fanged smile. "Because of her..."
With those words, she raised a finger and pointed at Kitane.
"Your little friend there... because of her."

[JohnnyP789]

Atticus snarled and his muscles tensed," why her, what do you want from her?" He was on the verge of decapitating her, but he held himself back.

[Cifero Windtail]

Zephyr held out a hand towards Johnny. "Don't." He sighed. "Is Dracula REALLY that dumb?"
The vampire chuckled. "Nice try, boy, but your trickery will not work on me. We know her bloodline."
Isabel sighed as well, still remaining vigilant. "Yep, he's that dumb."

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Her eyes narrow and she hisses softly. "What does Dracula want with me?" She growls, her fur bristling along her neck and spine. "If he knows my bloodline then why would he come after me." She growls, limping to Isabel's mother with a snarl.

[Cifero Windtail]

The vampire cackled. "He comes after you BECAUSE of your bloodline. He wants revenge, and he plans on getting it." She smiled wickedly. "I must go now. You are to meet us at these coordinates." The woman withdrew a piece of paper and offered it to Zephyr, who took it carefully.
"You don't understand, Areil," Zephyr said, trying to plead with her. "She's not related to..."
"Enough lies, boy!" Ariel screeched. She smiled wickedly. "You had all better show up..."
 
"Moby's life depends on it."
With those words, the woman turned into a bat and flew off, Isabel glaring after her.
Zephyr's eyes widened.
"...Oh dear..."

[Kitane Blackfyre]

"He does know I'm a VanHELLsing.. Right? And not that damn vampire hunter." She mumbles, wincing slightly and grasping her side in pain. "Anyways, we need  to go find my father and kill him. We don't have very much time to get to Germany before he starts coming here and picking us off one by one." She hissed, walking back through the graveyard. Her limp seems worse, and now the others could notice blood black oozing from between her fingers.

[Cifero Windtail]

"Kitane, that might be true, but they have Moby too," Zephyr said. "We at least have to go there to rescue him if nothing e... oh my god..." Slipping the paper away, he rushes to Kitane's side and places a hand on her shoulder. "Kitane, you're bleeding..."

[JohnnyP789]

Atticus snarled and kept watch for enemies as zephyr helped kitane. his arms and leg were shaking from rage, and he was breathing heavily, growling with each breath, and his paws clenching his sword with suck force that the whites of his knuckles could be seen.

[Kitane Blackfyre]

"I know we have to save Moby.." She says, gritting her teeth. "Bleeding..?" She mumbles, raising her shirt slightly after moving her hand. Where she had been hit, the skin and fur starting to be eaten away. "That's certainly not good.." She mumbles, watching slightly as the skin is moving back at an extremely slow pace. Tearing her gaze away, she hisses in pain and pulls her shirt back down. "Possibly the worst thing to happen.." She says, feeling suddenly tired. "Can't let him kill anyone.." She says, her words slurring slightly. Her vision blurs, and she starts to sway. After a minute of fighting it, she finally collapses, her breathing irregular and her wound getting worse.

[JohnnyP789]

Atticus's rage immediately went to worry when kitane collapsed. He ran over to her and held out his hand over the wound and he closed his eyes,*waise heill.* and he opened his eyes to watch her muscle and skin knit together. He smiled slightly when the wound was sealed, and he looked into her eyes, smiling a little more, and he then slumped against her from the energy drain," D-damn..."

[Kitane Blackfyre]

Almost immediately after it closed, the skin starts peeling back since the type of infection was now in her bloodstream. Another spot starts being eaten away on her arm and she writhes in pain at the one at her side. While unconscious and responding to pain, she screeches and starts clawing at the wound, pulling it open farther. 'You fools!' Mudvayne's voice rings in Zephyr and Atticus' heads. 'Stop her or she'll end up tearing off her own skin!' The demon hissed, all ready putting up an effort to stop Kitane's movements. Kitane's claws are neary to the wound again, her claws outstretched to it, but is pulling back by the demoness' attempts.

[Cifero Windtail]

Zephyr tried to stop Kitane from attacking herself. "Kitane!" he yelled, trying to get her hands away from the wounds.


Suddenly, Jeff rushed in and pinned Kitane's arms to her sides. "I've got her!" he said.


Isabel searched through the bodies until she found the weapon that had been used on Kitane. Her eyes widened. "Oh, shoot..."


Zephyr looked back to see her holding a black dagger. "I take it that's not a good thing..."


Isabel nodded. "It's a special poison my father created... it induces extreme pain and causes the flesh to peel off, leaving only a shadowy husk similar to a Ringwraith." Her eyes widened. "One second..." She dashed into the woods and came back with some herbs, which she handed to Zephyr. "Hopefully these should slow the process..."


Zephyr nodded, swiftly making a large poultice and a small one and pressing them on each of the wounds.  "It's slowing, at least," he said. He looked up at her. "But what's the cure?"


The black cat handed Zephyr a vial filled with blood from one of the attackers... a shade. "Force half of this down her throat, then pour the rest on her injuries. It turns out that the shade's very blood is the antivenom to the shade poison."



Zephyr nodded and did exactly what Isabel told him to do, then watched Kitane carefully.


"... please work..."
