Hana ran a hand through her hair and looked at Armis. "I haven't had blood in a few weeks." she said, stretching. "It's usually manageable. I repress the hunger and try my best to ignore it." She looked back in the direction of the party. "I should've known there was going to be blood at this party. I didn't expect it to be so close to me, right in my nostrils..." She looked at Armis. "I don't blame you."
Mod
Hana moved on the bench to make room. "I think I'm going to die later." she said, adjusting her dress. "The Queen's been pretty suspicious of me, and I just embarrassed her at this party...maybe death is an exaggeration." She smiled weakly at Armis. "Ah, this was not good, my friend. But to answer your question, I do not know. I do not know what to do, I do not know what the Queen is going to do, but...you could probably run. I'd have to help you clear the building, and there is a very large chance they'd track you down, but I think it is better than here."
Ace figured putting her arms to her side would seem less suspicious. She moved at a regular pace, not deactivated but not slow either. She stayed near the right wall to stay out of people's way.
((I don't know how frantic autocorrected to deactivated but I meant frantic.))
Hana looked up, noticing someone there. She wiped at her eyes quickly and stood, smoothing down the skirt. She nodded to the stranger, unsure if they were friend or foe.
Ace wished she could ask the stranger if she was alright and if she could help, but she found that rather dangerous situation. So she only nodded and smiled.((Check the females bathroom thread if you're confused))
"Good...evening." Hana replied. She smelled blood. She walked quickly to the stranger, her body moving before she could even think. "You're human." she muttered, looking her up and down. A servant's uniform? She looked away, trying to clear her head.
Acelin nodded, smiling sheepishly. She hoped the girl behind her, whatever her name was, wouldn't attack anyone else.
Mod
No. Armis couldn't believe she was actually thinking about letting him go. She was willing to take the risk of getting in trouble and setting him free, even though she had just said she would probably have to face the queen soon. He was to stund to answer. Armis, who was just about to join Hana on the seat, noticed the other two. A servant girl, telling by the white outfit. But he didn't know about the other. It seemed spacious. Before he knew it, Hana was moving. Everything happened to fast. One girl was pushed to the wall and Hana was caught in the other girls arms. "Hana!" He said moving forward but stopping when the girl spoke. He looked at her, then to Hana, not sure what to do.
Ace watched the girl move her once and attention to Hana. She didn't care if she was in danger but she did care about other people's lives. She waited a few moments before taking a throwing knife out of her bra (because that was the only place she could discretely store it) and threw it. She only threw it to knock her right shoulder and get her attention. She quickly got out another knife. "I don't care if you hurt me but they did nothing to be threatened." She said calmly. "Let them be on their way."
Hana was quite suddenly overwhelmed with the rich smell of blood. She looked down and saw two arms, two human arms - one holding a knife, but that didn't matter too much. She vaguely heard someone threatening her, but she wasn't paying close enough attention to that. Instead, she leaned down to one of the arms and bit down. It was as though she was operating on autopilot. Hana drank as much as she could, spilling down her chin and onto her dress. Why did you ever stop doing this? a voice in her head asked. She did feel a bit stronger, but she kept feeding, just in case.
Mod
Her hand that had been holding the blade went to her ear where she pressed a button on the earbud and spoke. "Abandon mission, I've been injured!"
Now with that done, she had to get herself away from them. She looked from the girl who held another blade, to the male that stood near and to the vampire that was still feeding on her. At first, she ignored the other two and moved the blade she had in her handinto the back of Hana, trying to aim for her heart, and with the quick action pushed the girl to the floor with all the energy she had, managing to rip herself free. She quickly moved her now free hand to grab at the blade in her shoulder, thankfully moving fast due to all her training, and pulling it out before aiming at the servant girl and throwing. Though all that was painful, she turned quickly and made a run for it, not even checking to see if she had pierced the vampires heart or injured the servant girl. She just went to the closets door in which she hid in and escaped from the window.
Armis was just about to do something to save Hana when it seemed like she had things under control. But when she was stabbed and pushed to the floor, he immediately fell to his knees and held her. "Hana? Hana?!" He said and pulled her onto his lap, not sure what to do. An injury like that could kill someone. But she was a vampire, and because of that he didn't know what to do.
Hana looked at the ceiling for a solid minute. She was aware she had fallen to the floor, and Armis was talking, and there was a sharp pain in her back, but nothing else. It really was a nice ceiling. On the other hand, she didn't feel hungry anymore; then again, if she was dying, it wouldn't really matter if she was hungry or not. "Tell her." she said under her breath. "Tell the Queen." As infuriating as that woman might be, she would be the one who knows what to do. Her vision was fading as she grabbed onto Armis's arm. "Don't worry." Some leftover blood dribbled out of her mouth. "But...I think that woman was an assassin, or something, or..." Hana tried to sit up. "I don't know why I'm telling you this. Just get someone."
Ace dodged her own knife, running to the fallen girl. She first guided her to lay back down. "Down sit up, you'll bleed out faster." She said, using her still clean apron to cushion her head. It looked like she hadn't gotten enough blood to heal herself. Without talking she finished the small trek by sliding next to her. She quickly decided to take her knife and cut a long cut from her wrist to the back of her elbow, angling her arm downward towards her mouth. She squeezed her forearm to try and coax more blood into Hana's mouth. She also thought about how to treat her wound, but it would be hard to control the bleeding.
Mod
Although the girl told her not to, Hana sat up, pushing the arm away. "I don't even know you." she whispered, although her tongue had shot out to catch any leftover droplets of blood. She didn't like feeling weak. She looked at Armis. "And I don't want to stay still. That girl with the knife, she...she's a danger to the Queen. If she attempted - and perhaps successfully - to kill a Royal Guard, there's no telling what she could do." Shooting pain spread throughout her chest and she winced.
Ace didnt allowed her arm to be pushed to far, and quickly made the girl sit down again. "If you want to die you can do it on your own time in your own presence. Since Im here, youll have to listen to some medical advice." She said, able to squeeze a few drops past her lips. "Feel free to grab my arm and go nuts." She mumbled, glancing up at the man accompanying her. She hoped he could tell her how to deal with this particularly blood-averse woman and get her to calm down and heal herself. Back wounds, especially that deep and near an artery, werent going to have any easy fixes.
Mod
Without thinking, Hana drank, although her mind stopped her after a few moments. She did not want to drain this girl dry, and she was already feeling better. Unfortunately, she would likely be out of commission for a few days - weeks if she didn't have any blood. "Just because she abandoned the mission doesn't mean there won't be another, and another." Hana said. "You think my life is more important than the Queen's? You are mistaken in that, the both of you."
Mod
Hana looked at him, tilting her head to the side. Her vision was shakier than usual, but it would be fine in a few moments. It had to be. She heard Armis's offer and thought for a few moments. With a nod, she stood, and felt sudden shooting pain in her back and chest. She squeezed her eyes shut and gritted her teeth. She had felt worse. She could get through this, or rather, she had to. She grabbed Armis's hand for steadiness more than anything else. "Do you think that if I was a human, we would be friends?" she asked, opening her eyes. "Because I cannot tell if you hate me, or just what I am."
Mod
Hana clucked her tongue, noticing his apprehension. "I think..." she murmured, looking him over. "I think you would kill me if you had the chance. Well, actually, I'm not sure. Because you have a chance right now. There are plenty sharp objects around, and I have no doubt this human girl would help you do it." She leaned on him, pressing her fingers to her temples. "Believe you me, I have tried to stop this...this state longer than you have been alive. You lose everything when you're like this. I have tried to go without blood. I have tried to look for...for some sort of cure. Something. There is nothing. So I have tried to die, and when that didn't work, I just signed myself up for the riskiest missions for the Queen." She bit the inside of her cheek. "Others may love it. They love the power, the immortality, the...the gifts. But I was nineteen. When she took me, I was only nineteen. I didn't know what I was doing. I didn't..." she looked up. "It's been more than two centuries and I am sick of trying."
Mod
Hana stumbled and grabbed his arm again. "If you let go, I'm going to fall." Hana mumbled. She looked at him, her eyes wide as she tried to keep balance. "Take me with you, I need...I need to rest for a moment or two." Or a thousand, she added in her mind. She tied her hair up into a bun to get it out of her face.
Ace was about protest that she would not kill her or the queen despite her passive aggressive hatred towards the misandry that the queen started. Instead, she let Hana talk and instead brought out Ace bandages. Pun not intended. She unraveled the roll and started wrapping it around Hana's torso, completely covering the wound. "Tell me if it's too tight. If you start to lose feeling in your legs or breathing becomes harder tell me immediately to loosen it." She supported Hana from the other side, looking at Armis. "I don't know her, and I don't the Queen, but if Hana thinks going to her would be a good idea then we need to at the very least entertain it." She said seriously. "Ive personally never met her but if she has magical healing powers or something then her relationship with the queen could save her life."
Mod
((Sorry I though I posted))
((Its okay))Ace rolled her eyes. "The Queen would protect any loyal follower, especially one that risks her life and assimilated into a vampire for the crown. And her wound isnt some paper cut she can brush off and ignore, its a deep stab made near her heart. We also have information to benefit the Queen and can easily do a peaceful trade off. Unless you have a better idea I suggest we start walking." She said quickly, with intensifying seriousness.
Hana looked at Armis and took an unsteady step forward with him. "I will tell her later." she said, eager to lie down. "If I went to her, she would...she would likely kill me for being injured at her special party." If Hana had the energy to roll her eyes, she would. But she had to be realistic - the Queen didn't care about her. "And I don't think she thinks I'm a loyal follower."
Acelin sighed. "Okay well..." she said, defeated. "We're on our own then. Do you have a way to get home? The sooner you lay down the better." She said softly, continuing to support Hana.
Mod
Acelin raised an eyebrow. "Do you know how to bandage deep wounds like this? How often and when to clean them? Do you even know how to do stitches?" She asked quickly. "Just for the sheer fact that this is a life threatening wound you almost brushed off as a small cut I'm going to have to come with you to make sure she doesn't die in her sleep. Or, God forbid, you let her sleep face-up." She continued as she grabbed her backpack and throwing knives hat were laying around. "Better be safe than sorry." She said finally, waiting for Armis to lead the way.((Hope you don't mind my character being supper pushy and stubborn))
