Ya'll Need Warning Labels... [Xhane]

[Jade Alanon]

We all are prisoners
Things couldn't much worse
I've had it up to here
You know your end is near
You had to have it all
Well have you had enough
You greedy little bastards
You will get what you deserve

God... why wasn't her brain working that night? Seriously! It was as though her mind had chosen at the worst time to take the rest of the night off and leave her stumbling around. Had it been another time, a quieter time, Jade might not have minded but she was working and kind of needed it. Not now! Groaning, the hunter rubbed her temples as she exited her car, slamming the door behind her. She was in enemy territory as far as she was concerned. Sure, she had only followed one fang here but there was a possible chance that more could be around, she still hadn't located their nest and destroyed it so really, she was taking a risk in coming here. That being said, she had a score to settle with the vampire she had followed to this location.

Pulling the last cigarette from her pack of smokes, Jade lit it up and blew out a long puff of smoke. Go inside or head out? She could just head back to her hotel room and watch some TV. She couldn't though. She was a hunter and she had been taught by her father that you never leave a case with loose ends and this particular fang was definitely to be considered a loose end. The raucous noise inside showed that the bar she was walking into was popular which would possibly make it more difficult for her to locate and dispatch said loose end. Still, Jade loved a challenge, she just wished that she didn't feel as though she couldn't produce coherent thoughts. She got like that sometimes.

Not long after she got that feeling, as she walked into the bar, Jade began to hear those damn voices in her head again. That explained things. Those damn voices came and went and were surely a clear indication that she was crazy and maybe she was. The things she had seen and done, it would drive anyone crazy really. Still, she didn't want to admit that she may or may not be crazy, best to avoid that road altogether. Not like she could get help if she actually was... Right?

Focus! She had to fucking focus already!

Walking into the bar, Jade peered around nonchalantly before taking a seat in the corner of the bar. She didn't want to draw attention to herself but she wanted a good vantage point as well. The fang that had attacked her hadn't really gotten a good look at her from what she could tell so maybe he wouldn't know that she was there hunting him. Ordering herself a draft of beer, Jade finally spotted her quarry but she didn't go at him. Not yet anyway. He didn't seem to notice her and was instead chatting up a pretty blonde. Probably his next meal. Not if she could help it.

[Xhane]

Sitting at the bar was Xhane in his usual attire of all black. But he was keeping pretty much to himself. He had already drank enough liquor to drop a whale, but evidently the staff at this establishment either didn't notice, or just flat out didn't care. It was money. Alot of things in a mortal's life can be summed up solely by the almighty dollar sign.

But then you have others. Ones that aren't quite "mortal". Their sole existence can be summed up by various things. Chaos, pain, pleasure in various forms,....but this case was blood. Vampires. Xhane knew their sect in the supernatural community well. He also knew their patterns. Vampires were if nothing else predictable, at least to Xhane anyway. Live as long as he has and see half of the things he's seen and everything would probably seem that way as well.

He takes a drink of his glass of scotch and glances down the way a bit on the bar. There was a vampire talking up a beautiful blond. They always seemed to go for the beautiful ones. Xhane just figures it's some symbolic thing with being vein and how they'll live forever and stay "beautiful" forever. Beyond that he didn't much care. Xhane takes out a pack of menthol cigarettes and takes one out, setting the pack on the bar next to his drink. From there he takes out a zippo, flipping it open and lights his cigarette with it before placing it back inside of his trench coat.

Xhane takes a long drag from his cigarette and turns around on the stool to face outward toward the rest of the bar. From there he began picking out various vampires in the room. He looked down with an annoyed look on his face. "Damn it..."[/color] whispered Xhane. He takes another drag from his cigarette and slightly opens his trench coat as if to make sure something was still there or intact. He looks back up and spins back around toward the bar itself.

Grasping his scotch he finishes the drink and orders one more. Right about now would be a great time to get drunk...if he could. He knows this is going to hurt, but what's gotta be done has to be done. As his new glass gets to him he picks it up and goes to knock back the whole thing but he stops suddenly. Looking dead ahead he sets the glass down slowly. Off of the mirror behind the bar and begins scouting the room. Something felt...off.

Xhane couldn't place it. He knew he'd felt this before, but it had been so long he just couldn't remember what it was. Taking a long drag from his cigarette he exhales the smoke slowly, still scanning the mirror. Then his eyes latch on to a girl. There was something there. Something about this girl that everything within him felt drawn to. Not necessarily romantically like it would sound to most...but something familiar. Part of Xhane was enraged by whatever this was he was feeling.

He shakes his head and decides he'll handle the matter later if at all. He was here for something more important and time was of the essence. Even if this blond down the way was basically just asking to be bent over the bar, what would follow probably wouldn't be what she was hoping for. Xhane knocks back his scotch and sets the glass down on the bar before getting up. He takes another drag from his cigarette and puts it out, exhaling the smoke. Next he makes his way down the bar and comes up right behind the two.

Xhane places his arms around the two with a slight smile as if pretending to be drunk. "Whoa, sorry guysh. Ah didn't mean ta."[/color] Still acting drunk Xhane leans toward the girl and whispers. "I recommend you leave now."[/color] From there he begins to push up off the two when suddenly the blond gets an insulted look on her face and slaps Xhane across the face hard. Xhane's head snaps to the side as he scoffs a bit and turns back to face her. "Fine! Then stay outta my damn way!"[/color] As Xhane says this his eyes light up suddenly a golden yellow for a moment before he spins around and with the vampire's head in head slams it hard enough into the bar to crack the wood work and send the vampire's body bouncing off, to the floor.

From there Xhane hears the woman scream and run to find "help" most likely. He shakes his head with a sigh and turns toward the rest of the bar. The other vampires were making themselves known. There had to be at least a dozen of the 6' mosquitoes. From there Xhane stepped out from the bar, to give himself some room to move when the time came. His hands go underneath his trench and behind his back. When his hands come back out in either hand he's wielding dual sided knives. Each blade was about seven inches long and waved in structure.

Xhane knew people would leave if they had any intelligence to them. From there he tilts his head to the side a bit and his face alters to a white and black form. He smirks as his eyes light up once more. "So....anyone wanna play?"[/color]

Hunting was something that Jade knew inside and out, it was her life, not just her job but that didn’t mean there wasn’t room for improvement. Jade was not near the hunter that her father had been and she never would be, she resigned herself to that fact. When it came to hunting, it was very hit and miss, no one was perfect in the hunt all the time if ever and Jade was no exception. Her heart raced wildly in her chest as she entered the bar and she took a seat, watching the various people in the bar with some amusement. Lighting up a cigarette, Jade played the part of a bar patron who had come in for some good times and let anyone who saw her make their own assumptions. She had tended to her wound before she had come inside, not wanting to have the fresh small of blood on her though she was certain that the fangs could smell it in the long run. Dirty bloodsuckers.

The fact that she appeared to be unarmed helped in her favor, fangs liked helpless women. They weren’t strong enough to fight back and thus were easy targets. Of course Jade had weapons with her. She never left her car without them. In her one pocket she had a syringe with dead man’s blood in it, just waiting to be stabbed into the first fang to attack her and hidden in her right boot was a wicked blade.

She knew there was more than one fang in this place, she could just feel it but she wasn’t about to engage a bunch of them in a fight at once. If anything, she’d attempt to lure the vampire away from the pretty blonde and offer herself up as a meal in exchange before stabbing the sucker with the syringe and taking her time in decapitating the bastard. She had plenty of time to wait though out of the corner of her eyes she took notice of a man heading over towards the vampire she was hunting. There was something about him but she wasn’t sure what it was. Watching carefully, she observed what happened next with considerable surprise, especially since the vampire had been her hunt, not this guys. Her eyes widened as she watched Xhane’s eyes flash golden for a moment and it dawned on her. Dude was a fuckin demon!

But what the hell was he doing going after fangs? Last she heard, demons were the hunted, not the hunters. The resounding crack of the vampire’s head against the bar was loud and it sent a bunch of people out of the bar in fear of a rather nasty bar brawl began.

It was definitely not what Jade had been expecting, far from it but hell, it was distraction enough and the heat was taken off of her. The blonde chick was now screaming for help against Xhane, how amusing since the vamp had only been interested in literally biting her head off. Not that she mattered anyway. Jade focused on her for only a moment before looking back to the matter at hand, the other fangs were showing themselves and were planning on teaching Xhane a lesson he would only learn for a single moment before they killed him and drank his blood.

To join in or not, she had to ponder on this. So far a bunch of people had run out of the bar which was smart on their part. Jade hadn’t left because she wasn’t scared. Intrigued yes but not scared. She’d fought worse than this. Feeling that she had sat long enough, Jade jumped off her bar stool and strode over to one of the vampires who’s back was turned to her, their focus entirely on the strange man in the middle of the room. Pulling the syringe from it’s place, Jade jammed it in the vampire’s back and made sure he got a full taste of dead man’s blood before she turned to the vamp who had been standing next to him.

God this felt good, getting all this shit out of her system. She needed a way to vent stuff and this helped. The thrill of the hunt, the constant danger of possibly dying. It gave her a high no other drug could. Pulling her knife from her boot, she armed herself and began fighting. Decapitating the buggers wouldn’t be easy but she could handle it. Hopefully the voices didn’t come back…

This is something Xhane had been waiting for. A good fight. He'd been cooling his heels for weeks doing the "watching" thing over a family of people that probably would try to kill him anyway. Xhane stepped further out with his arms outstretched, his nasty little blades in either hand. The first vampire advances.

The vampire was young, wreckless, new to the power it now had at it's disposal. This surely was in Xhane's favor. He easily sidesteps this first vampire and with one quick strike pierces the throat, severing the spinal column. The vampire's head teeters for a moment as the vampire stops dead in it's tracks with wide eyes. Xhane kicks the body over as the head falls to the floor. One down.

Xhane advances on the others, spin kicks on off into a table while backhanding another giving himself some room to move. It was during this he watched the girl from earlier stab one vampire with something and it dropped. He would be questioning what she just did but he didn't have the time. From there he noticed one of them turn toward her to strike. From there Xhane sends one of his blades sailing across the room and straight through the back of the vampire's throat, severing it's spinal cord as well. The vampire screams in pain and stumbles around trying to reach the blade as it begins to lose feeling to it's body.

Then from behind a chair crashes into Xhane's back, pieces of the chair exploding everywhere. Xhane stumbles forward a few steps before spinning around to meet his attacker and a right hook across his face. Spinning with the punch Xhane kicks the attacking vampire off into another, dropping them both to the floor. Out of the corner of his eye he can see the vampire with his blade sticking out of it's neck laying on the floor screaming for one of the others to help him.

Xhane couldn't get to his other blade at the moment. There were too many between him and his weapon. Blocking another attempt at a punch on him, Xhane catches the vampire's arm in his and breaks it with a loud cracking sound. The vampire screams in pain. From there Xhane kicks it in the side of the knee and another breaking sound is clearly heard. He shoves his blade right between it's eyes and from there Xhane grabs a good hold on the vampires head, places a boot on it's shoulder and begins pulling.

Slowly the skin on it's throat begins to rip and tear as Xhane pulls the vampire's head clean from the body, killing it. Blood splatters everywhere. Ripping his knife out of the head he drops the useless head to the floor. Another vampire rushes Xhane and slams him back into the back. Xhane's back meets it with a loud thud. Xhane winces a bit. He may be one of the most obscure creatures in existence, but pain still was an element in the game for him.

From there he looks to Jade and yells as his eyes glow a golden yellow like headlights once more. "Get the hell out of here girl! Save yourself!"[/color] From there Xhane barely manages to see another attacker coming and sidesteps a rushing vampire as it collides into the bar. Xhane bounces it's head off of the bar as it collapses to the floor from the impact. The girl obviously wasn't afraid or at least could handle herself, but he just didn't want her on his conscience of something were to happen.

He blames his angelic side for that worry. Another vampire rushes him. He couldn't figure this out. Were they all younglings? Their fighting presence was weak at best and savage. Nothing thought out, pure instinct. Xhane simple back body drops the vampire up and over the bar as it smashes against the back wall. Glass and liqour bottles can be heard and seen smashing upon it's impact.

Two vampires dead, one down from his blade, and one down from whatever this girl had managed to do. This still left eight vampires in play including the one on the floor at Xhane's feet by the bar and the one now laying on the floor amongst shattered glass behind the bar. This was going to take forever. Xhane's smirk and cocky demeanor has faded. Not because he doesn't think he can take a pack of vampires, but because he didn't want something to happen to this girl.

Fighting came second nature to Jade, it was like breathing to her. She lived for it, thrived on it and so it wasn’t hard to believe that she was actually happy that she found herself in a fight. It wasn’t like she hadn’t been expecting some resistance when she had been hunting the vampire that had been bent on eating the bimbo of a blonde that had run off. Hell she had wanted one, needed one even considering all the frustration she had built up inside. There was a chance that she’d die but than again, there was that same chance no matter what she did really. She was a hunter which meant that she was living on borrowed time. She knew that and accepted it which was one reason she was able to go all out in a fight.

Thing was though, what she hadn’t been anticipating was this guy who was now going after the whole fuckin nest of vampires that she had stumbled in on. Not one of her best ideas of course and had this guy not been here there was a good chance that she would be in some serious shit but still, who the fuck did he think he was?! Seriously. "Get the hell out of here girl! Save yourself!" He was having all the fun and to be honest, it was insulting. Sure, she wasn’t able to tear a vampire’s head off it’s shoulders like that thing could but she could still fight and she could still kill, so he had no right to tell her to leave or call her girl like she was a child who was in over her head. “Nah, I’m busy.” She yelled back as she chose to square off with an enraged fledgling vampire. They all seemed to be newly turned which was surprising, normally a nest wasn’t this…anxious to be exterminated. Not that Jade much cared either way to be honest. All she wanted to do was what she did best and that was kill nasty bad things before they killed her.

The fact that this guys eyes glowed yellow did not sit well with Jade in the least. In fact it fuckin scared her near shitless. A Yellow-Eyed Demon? Here? It was rare to see them, this would be the first time Jade ever saw one and it was fighting vampires while telling her to save herself??? Not the usual M.O as far as demons went so what exactly was this guy doing here?

Dodging a punch aimed at her face, she swept her the vampire’s feet from under him and moved to knock him out. Damnit it all she should have brought her scythe with her but she left it in her car and she wasn’t leaving yet. Seeing as how this demon seemed to be able to kill them without too much trouble so why not let him do just that. She wouldn’t stop fighting but that just wasn’t in her to just sit back and watch. She was a fighter to the end and while she couldn’t kill them right now, she could still kick the shit out of them. Every problem that she had had lately went into every blow that she dealt out. The dead man’s blood she carried with her came in handy as she put down two more vampires which left six for Xhane to handle. Once it got to that point Jade would step back and grab herself a beer, clearly wanting to watch the show. She had been determined to stay in this fight but at the same time she wanted a full glimpse at what the demon could do since he had the vampires’ attention. It really wasn’t in her to just watch a fight but she would resist the urge for now. Just to see what she was dealing with in the form of Xhane.
