The Burning Rose X DragonFlower

[rose;]

War of the species... That's what you could refer to it as.
Vampires and humans, always fighting. Not a moment of peace. The humans veiw all vampire's as cold and ruthless, out to kill them. CSlinking creatures of the night, coming to attack and alsughter familes.
and yet... They strive to be just like them. The boys are trained to have no emotion. To go out and kill without regret or remorse, only to care for their families and the rest of the warriors.Of course, there are excpetions... Humans that purposely seek out the vampires in hopes of turning. They know that a boy vampire is absolutely incapable of feeling emotion...
But, a human and vampire relationship is almost unheard of, which might surprise some. Well, not when a vilage is as secure as a prison, and vampires live on the run.
It ain't a fairy tale out there, but again, there are exceptions... Of course there are exceptions... What if a vampires mistaken as a human? What sort of lies unfold then?

~~~


The only thing that sets a vampire apart are fangs, a need for blood, and their speed, agility, and strength. So why do the humans see the need to kill them?
That's the century old question for the vampires, not one they'll be answering anytime soon either.
The humans live in tightly gaurded villages, keeping their families safe. Boys have no choice to serve and protect, something their families may not agree with, but they have to do it non-the-less. the vamipires live on the run, forming many small cities in the forest, easy to abandon when the huntres are coming.
A life of lonliness, not one they all enjoy.

And here our journey begins...

{     Wʜᴏ I ᴀᴍ...

Personality.....
She is quite opposite of what the hunters believe all vampires are. The hunters got their view of all vampires from the boys who are emotionless. She is quite the opposite. She is shy most of the time, and stubborn when she has her mind set on things. She can get a temper if you push her far enough, and she can be quite mean, but will always end up feeling guilty afterwards.
She is actually very sensitive, but tries to cover it up and hide it. She's a bit scared of pain, and will not kill for food.
Fears......
'Thunder is my main fear, along with fire. I'm not sure why for thunder, it must have something to do with my childhood... I do not think it's funny when people tease Me for it. The hunters use fire to kill us, so its only obvious that's a fear.
Likes......
Animals, horses and dogs in particular. They do not like Me as well though... I love to swim, though it wasn't a pleasure I had often.
Dislikes....
Being hunted. Cats. Being threatened.

Personality.....

Paranoia Gabriel has, and always will be, a very paranoid man. Silently investigating untrusted shadows with weapons and fire bared, and lashing out with severe protectiveness to anyone who wrongly crossed his close family. He has never been very trustful of people, approaching each and every single one with a cautioned tone and openly spitting his distrust of them. His fears as a youngster spurring him to extreme measures to bubble wrap himself up and never let anyone in. As a young child, the young man was always the first to find something wrong with the darkest of corners, and scurry under the nearest family member's legs. He wasn't the first to volunteer at school to scout ahead in their training, or the bravest during the nighttime practices preparing them for adulthood.


Temper Gabriel has an extremely short fused temper that is easily bombarded into flames, out bursting into violent lashes against anyone in his path. The man is known as a sharp-tempered snake of a human, with an equally nasty tongue. And due to his temper, is often considered a brutal, mentally unstable person with a bubble wrap shell around his heart and unwilling to let any human inside. Gabe, as a direct result, isn't easily trusted by the females of his community and yet another viciously trained pawn of the to-be hunters.

Antisocial The youngster is a naturally quiet person. He's always struck out on his own sense he was young, which unluckily, often lands him in the middle of trouble. He enjoys doing things on his own, and there isn't always a person there to help him when things go wrong because of his antisocial behavior. Gabriel usually doesn't talk to strangers unless he is spoken to, or when he needs to. Or, more often then not, snarling in someone's face if they aggravated him to breaking point.

Smart Gabriel isn't your average jerk-faced person that dives head first into a trio of starving vampires. He has the wits, the brains to think on his feet; making him viable in a fight or a timed puzzle. Although it is unlikely to see much more then a spitting match toward the people in his village. He is able to remember, learn, and recall information easier then a "dim-witted" person. Being relatively smart, helps him a lot in every day tasks and in situations that would be other-wise bad for someone of Gabe's personality. Along with having an odd ease in agility for a human male, his ability to think quickly despite his easy rage.

Protective Despite all that we currently know of Gabriel, once he becomes attached to someone; he is extremely protective of that person. To literally willing to kill himself if it meant to save that person. Gabe is a truly caring person that can sometimes become annoying to any person that he attaches himself to. Sometimes, Gabriel being Gabriel, he tends to stalk random people, as well.

Kind-Hearted Although the man has taken years to build his current anti-love, anti-anything that has emotions shell, underneath that thick outer bone, is a child. One untouched by the training his gender receives, a pure person with real emotions--not an emotionless machine designed for the use of the village. In all honesty, once pried into his self defense, Gabriel is actually a really sweet person. He hates to take the chance of hurting someone's feelings, and unlike his other emotions, the only one he can't successfully hide is sorrow. He'd much rather bend over backwards and stab himself in the heart then end up accidentally hurting someone he adored.


Fears......
"Water really scares me, I don't like people to know that, but it really does. I don't like things like needles or creatures that would lurk in the dark, either."

Likes......
"I like hunting in the forest, and feeling important to my people. I enjoy being admired me them, and helping."

Dislikes....
"I don't like guarding outside late at night, it's creepy. I don't like working with building wood either--or vampires. One killed my brother, you know. Why would I like them?

{ Aɢᴀɪɴsᴛ Tʜᴇ Wɪɴᴅ....

Theme Song.....
Insanity

Other.....
The reason Gabriel is afraid of water, is the fact that he nearly drowned as a nine year old. Luckily, a village member saved him.

Gasping for breath, Emerald forced herself to keep running through the forest, bounding over fallen logs. Her lungs ached, her legs ached, and most of all, her heart ached.
She had been on the move for three days now, but it wasn't from the hunters... Until now. She hadn't eaten in days either, and felt weak, hungry, and willing to give up. She had nothing anymore, nothing to live for. She had been approaching a small settlement, when the hounds came. She knew the hounds weren't for killing, they were for driving. They were driving the vampires into the woods to be tracked and hunted down individually.
That's why she was running now.
Thunder sounded overhead, and she judged she had been running for a few hours straight by now, enough time to put distance between her and the hunters. She needed a place to rest and get her health up, she was already feverish the way it was.
She began to slow, but as she did, her foot caught in a root or something, and with a cry, she fell to the forest floor. Pain flashed up her whole leg and she whimpered, holding her ankle to her chest. She looked at her clothes and her situation in dismay. She had a orange, summer dress on, and she hadn't had time to change before she had to flee. It was now dirty and tattered, but the pain in her ankle now was her first worry.
Emerald tried to get up, but found she could not stand. She whimpered again, sinking to the ground and curling onto her side, curling up on herself. She tried to stifle a sob, but couldn't, shivering. Night fall would be soon, and she was a sitting duck- easy target for any hunter to stumble across her. "It's not supposed to end like this..." she sobbed softly to herself. She let hopelessness wash over her, but she didn't quite mind as she felt herself drift closer to unconsciousness. She had nothing anymore...
Waking slowly, she felt something sniffling and pawing at her- a wolf. Only sighing softly, Emerald put her head back down. It would go away sooner or later... And not try to eat her.
Sooner rather than later, the wolf was suddenly alert, growling softly at the trees before whining and taking off. She heard the soft crunch of leaves, but she did not care, didn't even know if it was real. Too hot and too cold at the same time, she only knew it was night, and raining. The rest... Swam in front of her, and she decided she must have been a bit delusional...

Pride. A wicked smile spread across the pale man's features as the emotion overwhelmed his already swollen heart. A cold breeze filtered through raven colored hair, causing the young human to sway graciously in the wind. Gabriel stalked forward with a deer's grace, pinning the squirming mythical to the compact ground with a single distend of the specially made stick. He hadn't expected to see one of them this early in the ceremony, but it didn't matter--the earlier he earned his rights, the better.

It was more difficult then he expected, holding something stronger then you down while you attempted to dim the flickering of your flames. And as a string of stormy grey clouds rolled over the moon, Gabriel let out a visible chuff of frustration as he felt the cease of squirming and the roar of hounds diminished his chances. He wasn't a team player, and he knew very well that the other hunters weren't exactly peachy to accept him into a party. Sighing as the soft sizzle of now dieing fire announced the arrival of the rains, the youngster gave up. He had little to no chance of successfully completing the ceremony tonight. Gabriel's shoes scuffed the earth in a sweeping kick as he abandoned the useless pieces of wood and slowly started into the forest with an enthralling thought, The next wave of hunters, I'll get one before they start.... Maybe.

Scouting accusingly into the forest, Gabriel pressed on loudly as the drizzle of rain slowly began to start into a steady patter--drowning out the growing screams of death. And it was needless to say, it was more than surprising when he saw a crippled form of a lovely young woman on the dappled forest floor. "Miss?" He squeaked silently, surprise mixed with pity beginning to sink into his gut. Why should he care about her? "Miss, are you okay?" With a gentle motion, Gabriel felt her head in silent gestures. Unwilling to wait for an answer, Gabriel scooped the young looking lady into his arms. He'd take her to his mother, she'd know what to do--It didn't matter right now. All he knew, is that she needed help, and he couldn't help but to oblige her.

Emerald could only make an odd sound as she felt herself being picked up. She remained limp, unable to move at all. She suspected it to be a vampire, coming to save her, but when she turned her head and catching a whiff of him, her mouth ached with the burning need to bite him. She needed blood, and he was such an easy tartget... Even against her in a such weakened state, she could over power him... Somehow though, she kept her mouth closed and did not.
She shivered violently, curling into his warmth, craving it... Needing it. She gave a sound like a whimper, trying to hold her breath so the want to bite him was not so bad. "D-don't harm m-Me," she stammered, her voice barely above a whisper. "P-please."
Fear washed over her, more like terror... But, she supposed he was only speeding up what was going to happen in the long run. He would kill her... She could only hope that he would do it quickly and painlessly. She shivered again, giving a feeble cough that quickly turned into something that shook her small frame. She slipped towards unconsciousness again, only dimly aware he was still carrying her.
Emerald suddenly struggled weakly in his firm hold, getting no where. "No,
No, please," she gasped, opening her striking green eyes for the first time. They were open but unseeing, glazing over in her panic and half delusion. "You can't take Me there. I don't... Don't..." she broke into sobs, weeping almost silently. Only the slight hiccup every now and then could alert him to her tears. She stopped struggling, feeling hopeless and scared beyond words...

Gabriel remained soberly cold as he gingerly trotted across the debris littered forest floor, careful not to trip on anything harmful to himself or the young lady in his arms. He didn't suspect--perhaps he was just too naive to think she was anything more then a lost teenager from another village unfortunate enough to find herself in the forest.

Giving a softly earned side ways glance at the person nestled into his arms. Gods--Who only knew what happened to her? "Shush. I won't hurt you" He responded in a naturally pointed tone, although it was clearly meant to be comforting. By the looks of her, she wouldn't have minded of his lack of caring tone. He, however, stopped almost immediately when she became more then a little discomforted.

He didn't want to put her down. Gabriel was afraid she'd find the strength in herself to run, and hurt herself further, or worse. So, at the best, he adjusted his grip so the girl was more tightly curled toward him. Looking at her, Gabriel let out a visible sigh. "It's okay, honey... Nothings going to happen, we'll take care of you." With a muster of all the sweetness he could have possibly had for a hurt stranger, Gabriel uttered words he'd long but forgotten had existed in his vocabulary. Walking much slower then before, in attempts no to frighten the poor thing any further, took gentle strides toward his village. It was beyond him of understanding possibly what was wrong with the female. He wasn't accustomed to regular kindness, much less helping someone recover from there ordeals. Was he doing the wrong thing? Should he have abandoned her, like the rest?

Emerald wept into his chest, taking all her willpower not to bite him. She fell limp again in his arms, seeing struggling was no use. She found no comfort at all in his words. They met her ears cold and hard, emotionless. Only another indicator he was only a hunter and out to kill her. She shivered more often, even though she was pressed against him. She closed her eyes, whimpering slightly every time she was jostled too badly.
Closing her eyes, she drifted towards sleep, her breaths evening out in a shallow and quick pattern. She drifted in and out of sleep, not seeing where she was being taken. She was only dimly aware she was even being carried anymore, and when she was, it was painful. "Put Me down..." she murmured, almost not loud enough to be heard. "Please... It hurts...." She only wanted to be out down so she could sleep, even if it was the forest floor. What was the difference if she died in the forest from sickness, or in the middle of a town of hunters? None.
"Please just let Me sleep..." she broke off coughing, wracking her whole body. "If you insist... You can being Me with you in the morning..."
