Where's dinner? (turning, Ruufe)

[Darren Caerdeth]

Darren waited outside of the Shrine, keeping track of the time. Anytime now, Ruufe would be showing up, and Darren could get on with the night. Until Ruufe showed up though, he'd have to stand there. Waiting seemed like an Eternity, even if Darren did have all the time in the world...

[Ruufe Shanks]

Ruufe trots up with the girl over his shoulder, flinging her hard onto the ground.

"I got a human," he says simply. "Now what?"

[Darren Caerdeth]

"Bring her with us..."

Darren turned and began to walk off, leaving no clue as to where they were heading. Truth be known, they were heading to a room deep within the Shrine, where Darren could turn Ruufe in private, so Ruufe would have time to recover without being disturbed.

[Ruufe Shanks]

Ruufe grabs her ankle and walks off after Darren, dragging the girl along the ground.

"So what's up?"

[Darren Caerdeth]

"Dinner...."

Darren turned a corner as Ruufe followed along.

"I guess you've realized eating is no simple matter with me..."

[Ruufe Shanks]

"Am I gonna shoot her too?" he asks, remembering the last meal he'd witnessed Darren have. "Guns suck."

He hopes he doesn't have to shoot her. She looks kinda pretty, it'd be a shame to cap her and ruin it.

[Darren Caerdeth]

"No no, not this time."

Darren kept his pace, not even looking back to speak, as he walked through the halls of the Shrine, turning down what seemed to be random passages and hallways til he came upon a room, the only room in the hallway.

"Bring her in here, you've got a big night ahead of you...."

[Ruufe Shanks]

Ruufe walks in and takes a look around.

"Not much to it...that's a theme around here, it seems."

Ruufe drags the girl across the door, bumping her head and causing her to stir.

"Oi, is it bad if she wakes up?"

[Darren Caerdeth]

"Its ok, so long as she doesnt escape..."

Darren walked over and shut the door. For someone so young, Ruufe seemed capable of stuff that adults wouldnt even attempt. It was something that hadnt gone unnoticed by Darren either.

With everything ready to go, Darren turned back toward Ruufe with a much more serious face.

"Do you know how you are to become a Vampyre?"

[Ruufe Shanks]

"Nope."

Ruufe, despite his determination to one day lord of the Vampyre race, hasn't the slightest clue about how a person becomes a Vampyre. It never occurred to him, really. It was overrun somewhere in his grand plan, buried beneath the ambition his heart bears.

[Darren Caerdeth]

Darren rolled his eyes at Ruufe..

"And you're gonna be the Vampyre king....Close your eyes, this is gonna hurt a little.."

[Ruufe Shanks]

Ruufe shrugs and shuts his eyes. Skepticism is to be expected.

"What, you're gonna give me a shot?"

This is just like the last time he visited a doctor. It'll only hurt a moment, shut your eyes, a little pinch, blah blah...he'd rather just do without the warning.

[Darren Caerdeth]

With no hesitation, Darren crossed the room and grabbed Ruufe by the chin, then sunk his teeth into the boy's neck. Being bitten by a Vampyre was a painful ordeal, much more than getting a shot, as Ruufe was now finding out.

[Ruufe Shanks]

"Gahhaaha!"

Ruufe opens his eyes and gurgles at the back of his throat, unable to properly speak or yell. Darren's eating him! What's the deal?

[Darren Caerdeth]

Darren made no attempts to tighten his grip. Ruufe was caught, but he could still struggle. The more he struggled, the faster his heart would beat, and the quicker he'd pass out. This was much more humane than Darren treated most of his victims, though Ruufe wasnt a victim by any means.

[Ruufe Shanks]

"Whaaa..."

Ruufe's vision blurs and he stops trying to fight off Darren. Guess he's just gonna hafta be eaten. Damn, and he was so close!

[Darren Caerdeth]

After a few more moments, Ruufe passed out, and was left lying in the floor. It would be awhile til he woke up, and he would be weak when he did. It was for his benefir that he brought the girl, as she would do for a meal when Ruufe woke up starving.

Until then, Darren kicked back in a corner, keeping his eyes set on the door, in case anyone decided to barge in and disturb the process.

[Ruufe Shanks]

Ruufe falls to the floor unconcious, his mind filled with idle rushing thoughts. Darren ate him! Now what...is he dead? It sure feels that way. He can hardly move at all, and it's real dark. He feels extremely cold too, but despite this, he doesn't shiver. A sound, slow and steady, comes into his focus. A steady beat causes his eyes to open and makes him feel hungry. The girl he'd dragged in is lying next to him, just within arm's reach. He grasps her shirt and tries to pull her to him, but he finds himself so weak he can't even budge her.

"Guh...gotta...eat her..."

[Darren Caerdeth]

Darren glanced over as Ruufe started to come to. After a few failed attempts by Ruufe to drag the girl to himself. Darren walked over and pushed the girl over to Ruufe and tapped a finger on the spot on her neck where the jugular was located.

"Right there, have at it...."

[Ruufe Shanks]

Ruufe can see the pulsing of blood with an accute awareness. He opens his mouth wide and bites down, feeling the rush of the life flowing into him. He drains her quickly, feeling like a wanderer lost in the desert, who has just had his first drink of water in weeks. When at last he has had her fill, and the woman lies lifeless without blood, Ruufe rests his head back.

"One step closer..."

[Darren Caerdeth]

"Get comforable and rest, you're still adjusting. Once your body figures out whats going on, you'll see that this kind of fatigue will go away very quickly."

With that, Darren gets up and retreats to the far corner of the room, where he'd left himself a bottle of Vodka earlier on. Until Ruufe was at one hundred percent, Darren wasnt going to be leaving.

[Ruufe Shanks]

Ruufe struggles to sit up and see where Darren went, but only manages to knock his hat off and fall back down. The boy's head lolls to the side and in within seconds he's sleeping soundly.
