- The Wild Ride -(Azar)

[Nisha Sohalia]

Three bodies lay on the ground, each one covered in blood and scratches, the sides of their throats practically ripped open. Amongst the three bodies stands a lone female figure her breathing heavy and her hands, mouth and chest covered in the blood of the three humans on the ground dead. she hadn't meant to kill them all, well maybe one but the other two she'd just intended to feed off of, take enough of their blood to leave them weak but not kill them. But there they are, dead at her feet. The taste of their blood was so enticing, no matter how hard she'd tried to stop herself Nisha just had to keep going, keep taking from them until they were drained until there was nothing left for her to take.


Nisha couldn't figure out why she was craving blood so much these days, the blood tasted so much better but it didn't give her the same buzz, the same rush that it did before and now she needs more and more blood to fill her satisfaction. "Why... why am I doing this?'. Usually Nisha wouldn't care that she had killed a human while feeding but this is just excessive and it's been happening for a few days now even the smell of raw meet, still bloody, is starting to set her off and start the craving for blood.

Stepping over the bodies Nisha leaves the corpses where they lay, unable to bring herself to touch them or have anything to do with them. She walks slowly through the streets in a sort of daze and still covered in blood, an unobservant person could mistake her for a human female who had been attacked, but if they were to look closer they would see no wounds on her body as the blood is not her own.

”I’m just saying try it Az,” Miya said as they walked out the door to the club that they had just finished playing at. Yet again Miya was trying to get his brother to go hunting animal blood with him. Azar was a human hunter not a ‘veggie vamp’ like his brother. ”What part of hell no don’t you get, Miyaka’el?” he said. He was getting irritated with this constant hounding. ”You know you’re going to get caught at that one day,” Miya continued. ”Fuck off Miya,” Azar replied.

Just then he caught the scent of blood. Human blood. And lots of it too. It was down right intoxicating to him. His brother just ignored it. ”Hey, who’s that?” Miya asked as he saw a figure ambling down the street. The blood scent seemed to be radiating from them. When Azar turned to look at the figure, he caught the scent of something else. Something he knew all too well. ”Nisha?” he asked. What the world had she gotten into? ”Wait, you know her?” Miya asked. ”You can say that,” Azar replied. Course he knew her. He’d slept with her for crying out loud. He walked over to meet her. ”You ok?” he asked, concerned about her. This was a lot of blood even for someone like him.

[Nisha Sohalia]

Nish stops and looks up at the voice saying her name, it sounds familiar but her mind is too frazzled to make sense of it. Slowly she turns and looks at Azar and Miya, a small smile coming to her lips at the sight of Azar and she walks towards him. "You okay?". On reaching them she looks at Miya for a moment then at Azar. "I... I don't know. This blood, it's from three humans. Azar I just kept taking and taking until there wasn't anymore blood to take.You know I like taking the lives of the humans every now and then but recently... it's been every single one. Every human i feed off of I end up killing, draining them dry". Nisha looks down at her hands, then at her clothing still shining wet with blood, still fresh.

She walks up to Azar and gently touches his face, leaving a small blood stain on his cheek as she does. There is a sudden urge to bite him, sink her fangs into his shoulder and get his blood even if it is the blood fo a vampire and not human Nisha just wants it... needs it, her hunger already coming back despite her having just fed from three humans not ten minutes ago. Quickly her attention turns to Miya, her eyes shining. "This must be your brother you've told me about, the one who doesn't like taking human blood". Nisha moves away from Azar and steps up in front of his brother and stands close to him. She touches his lips with a finger, leaving some of the human blood on his lips. "It's not so bad now is it? Better than that animal blood you've been taking". Nish gives Miya a smile that's a mix of cruelty and seduction.

"I... I don't know. This blood, it's from three humans. Azar I just kept taking and taking until there wasn't anymore blood to take. You know I like taking the lives of the humans every now and then but recently... it's been every single one. Every human I feed off of I end up killing, draining them dry." she said. That didn’t sit well with Miya. ”You’re a human killer too?” he asked. ”Miya…,” Azar warned. Talking to him like that was one thing but this was Azar’s girl he was talking to. And something wasn’t right with her.

Nisha walked up to Azar and touched his face. He could feel the sticky blood on her hand and the small streak it left on his face. Then she turned her attention to Miya. "This must be your brother you've told me about, the one who doesn't like taking human blood." Nisha moved away from Azar and stepped up in front of his brother to stand close to him. She touched his lips with a finger, leaving some of the human blood on his lips. "It's not so bad now is it? Better than that animal blood you've been taking." Nish gave Miya a smile that was a mix of cruelty and seduction. Miya jerked away from her, pushing her back. ”I won’t drink human blood,” he said. Still it was clear by the look in his eyes that the blood’s taste and scent was bothering him a bit. He wanted it after not having it for years.

Azar growled as his brother pushed his girl. Had she not been right there he would have decked the younger vampire.

[Nisha Sohalia]

”You’re a human killer too?”

Nisha looks at Miya with narrowed eyes for a moment. "I do what I have to to survive. I live how we were made to, how we were meant to... Not some snivelling child living off of the blood of animals, crawling around in the dirt looking for rats or sneaking through people's backyards looking for dogs and cats to feed on".

She had been about to say something when Miya suddenly pushes her away, causing Nisha to stumble back a little and almost fall. For a moment there is a look of been scared or sadness on her face, but that expression quickly vanishes when Miya speaks again. ”I won’t drink human blood". "Not yet you wont, but one day the smell... the need to know wha the taste is like it'll drive you mad and you'll crave to know. And you'll feed on a human and oh the taste of the will be glorious on your tongue like bothing you've ever tasted before". Her words were tainted with hate towards Miya, mainly for him pushing her. Never before had she been treated like that by another vampire, as if she were below them. Gathering herself together Nisha moves back to Azar, puting her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest. "Something's wrong with me Azar".

"I do what I have to to survive. I live how we were made to, how we weren't meant to... Not some sniveling child living off of the blood of animals, crawling around in the dirt looking for rats or sneaking through people's backyards looking for dogs and cats to feed on." she said. Where’d she get so hostile? ”Hey, let’s I don’t kill people,” Miya replied. He was glaring at his brother when he said that. Azar was known for deliberately killing his meals, just for fun. ”May not be as strong as you two physically but my will not to do something is stronger.” ”In your dreams, Miyaka’el,” Azar replied. His brother was so full of himself just because he chose not to hunt humans.

"Not yet you won’t, but one day the smell... the need to know what the taste is like it'll drive you mad and you'll crave to know. And you'll feed on a human and oh the taste of the will be glorious on your tongue like nothing you've ever tasted before." she said. ”I’ve had human blood before, girl,” Miya replied. He’d stopped right after killing a guy by accident. She moved back to Azar, placing her arms around his waist and resting her head on his chest. He wrapped his arms around her to try and calm her. "Something's wrong with me Azar." she said. That much he knew. ”We’ll have to get this checked out, Ni,” he said. ”There’s got to be a reason you’re draining that many humans at a time.”

[Nisha Sohalia]

”May not be as strong as you two physically but my will not to do something is stronger"

Nisha laughs a little. "One day you'll break, one day you'll snap and just want to sink your teeth into the soft flesh of a human, feel their life fade away before you". Nisha licks some of the blood off of her fingers. It did seem that she was been unessiccerily hostile towards Miya. There was really no reason for to be acting this way; Miya was no threat towards Nisha, if he chose to make a move to attack her she could defend herself against him easily. But tonight something is different, she just wants to be aggressive towards him, do and say whatever she can to rile him up and make Miya lash out. "Azar is more of a vampire then you will ever be. He embraces what he is, never tries to deny it. You're not human anymore Miya so there's no point in acting like it"

I’ve had human blood before, girl"

Girl? He spoke to her as if she were some common human servant or someone below him. Nisha just gives Miya a cold look, then turns her attention back to Azar. The hunger is slowly growing again as if she had never fed off those three humans to begin with. "I'm still hungry Azar. I need more". She shoots his brother a sideways glance and flashes her fangs. "Doesn't matter where it comes from".

[Azarius Aristarkhos]

"One day you'll break, one day you'll snap and just want to sink your teeth into the soft flesh of a human, feel their life fade away before you.” Nisha licked some of the blood off of her fingers. It did seem that she was been unnecessarily hostile towards Miya. He didn’t have a clue why. Being an animal drinker, he was no where near as strong as her and thereby wasn’t a threat to her. So why was she being…well as Miya had put it, a bitch.

"Azar is more of a vampire then you will ever be. He embraces what he is, never tries to deny it. You're not human anymore Miya so there's no point in acting like it." she said. That got Miya mad. ”You little bitch,” he said. He started to raise a hand to her then yelped in pain as his arm was caught by Az’s hand. ”Raise you hand to her again, Miyaka’el,” he said, tightening his grip on his brother’s arm. Miya winced. ”And I’ll make sure you can’t play again.”

Miya looked at his brother. Az looked pissed off with him. He could easily end up on those fangs again with Az in that kind of mood. Rather than piss him off further, he submitted and backed off, still glaring at her. She turned her attention back to Azar. "I'm still hungry, Azar. I need more." she said. She shot his brother a sideways glance and flashed her fangs. "Doesn't matter where it comes from." Well he wasn’t about to let her munch on his brother, no matter how ticked off he was with him at that point.

”I think I can find a few fans in want of an ‘autograph’,” he said. Once found, those humans wouldn’t live very long, whether they got eaten by her or by him.

[Nisha Sohalia]

Nisha could hav easily moved out of the way and missed the hit even if Azar hadn't been there to stop his brother from hitting her. It was getting all a bit too much for her, despite her desire to feed Nisha also felt incredibly tired and sluggish, her normal vampire speed not as good as it usually should be. Her eyes widne a little as Miya's arm stops mid-strike caught by Az. the way he defended her makes Nisha smile happily, glad that at least someone in this town is willing to protect her.Part of he wanted to see Miya's arm get snapped, but most of her just wanted him to go away and take all the hostility with him.

Azars actions seemed to have cleared her mind a little. "Azar... It's my fault, I shouldn't have said what I did". Her whole demeaner has changed; from a narky bitch just waiting for someone to say something against her, to someone soft spoken and apologetic. "I need to get out of these clothes, get all the blood off of me". The smell of dried, dead blood was not as appealing as the smell of fresh blood.”I think I can find a few fans in want of an ‘autograph’". Nisha smiles up at Azar. "I'd like that very much".

[Azarius Aristarkhos]

"Azar... It's my fault; I shouldn't have said what I did." Nisha said. What the hell? Her whole demeanor had changed from a bitch just waiting for someone to say something against her to someone soft spoken and apologetic. "I need to get out of these clothes, get all the blood off of me." she added. The smell of dried, dead blood was not as appealing as the smell of fresh blood. ”We’ll get you a change of clothes after we get you some blood, Ni,” he replied. No sense in messing up more than one set of clothes. Nisha smiled up at Azar. "I'd like that very much." she said. ”Just bet you would,” Miya said under his breath. That got a low rumbling growl from his brother. Az was in no mood for his brother’s bullshit right now.

Miya, taking it that he had over-stayed his welcome with the pair, left to head back to the house they were staying at. Azar just knew he was going to regret going back in that venue to look for fans but Nisha needed this more than he did. ”Let’s go,” he said. He took her hand and led her off into the building. Sure enough a couple of fans approached him wanting autographs.

[Nisha Sohalia]

”We’ll get you a change of clothes after we get you some blood, Ni"

"Yes you're right, I've already got blood all over these clothes I mays well leave them on until after I've had my fill, don't want to ruin another dress. You should come back to my house after this is done. You could help me pick new clothes". She giggles a little and gives him a quick kiss. ”Just bet you would".She had heard Miya's comment but said nothing about it, thinking it better to just let it go... even if it did make her want to tie him down and force feed human blood down the upperty vampires throat. "Goodbye Miya".

***

Nisha walks with Azar to the venue he had been at with the band before finding Nisha. The sight of the fans of Azars band coming towards them makes Nisha shiver a little, their human scent already filling her nose. She had been holding Azars hand while they walked and now her grip on it tightens a little as they near the humans. "Azar...". Her voice is desperate and her gums itching to just run at them and bite their necks. She moves to stand behind Azar a little as the humans come closer. She doesn't want them to see the blood on her clothes and by standing behind Azar he would be able to stop her if she were to simply launch herself towards them.

[Azarius Aristarkhos]

"Yes you're right, I've already got blood all over these clothes I may as well leave them on until after I've had my fill, don't want to ruin another dress. You should come back to my house after this is done. You could help me pick new clothes." She giggled a little and gave him a quick kiss which he returned. She had to have heard Miya's comment but said nothing about it, just letting it go for now. "Goodbye Miya." ”Ignore him, Ni,” Az said as they walked off. He’d deal with his brother later. For now they had to find out what was wrong with her and why she was acting like this.

Inside the venue, the couple of fans that had approached him – two girls – were just about all over him. ”Azar…” Nisha said, hiding behind him in what appeared to be an attempt to use him to block her from attacking them. He had a wicked idea. He invited the two girls and Nisha back to a private room in the back. The girls seemed a bit drunk so the blood on Nisha’s shirt could be attributed to them seeing things. He glanced at Nisha, giving her the go ahead to snack on one while he kept the other distracted so that she didn’t run before she’d had a chance to drain her too.

[Nisha Sohalia]

Nisha tries to protest Azar inviting the girls to a private room, but her need for blood outweighs any other thoughts she has. She follows Azar, hanging back a little until they're in the private room. The girls, been drunk, are not fully aware of what's going on around them, unaware that the two people in the room with them are actually vampires who are about to feed on the two girls and most likely kill them. Nisha leans against the door watching Azar take one of the girls aside. She clenches her hands a little, the human scent so strong. Azar has already started on the girl he took away, the other sits on the edge of the couch looking like she might pass out at any moment.

Calming herself down Nisha walks toward the girl and sits down beside her. The girl turns to look at Nisha and starts to talk, but the vampire doesn't hear what the human says. All she can hear is the blood rushing through the girls veins and the beating of her heart. Her eyes appear to darken a little and suddenly Nisha darts her hand out and grabs the girls neck roughly and throws her back against the back of the couch. The girl tries to scream but Nisha has her hand pressed against her throat, stopping her from making any loud noises.

With her other hand Nisha turns the girls head and bares her fangs snarling, the sight of them making the humans eyes widen and struggle even more in an attempt to get free but it's in vain. Growling Nisha leans into the girls neck and slowly presses her fangs agains the skin until the tips finally pierce the skin and the warm blood wells up and flows freely into her mouth. The bliss taste of it makes her eyes close and she starts massaging the girls neck to make the blood flow faster. For a minute or so the girl continues struggling but as more and more of her blood is taken her movements become slower and more sluggish. Breathing in sharply through her nose Nisha lifts her head up from the girls neck. Here eys shine a little with the fresh blood in her body, and for now her hunger is gone but who knows how long it'll be gone. She can smell that there is still some blood in the girl body, she must get to it, so she bites the girl five more times in various places to get to the remaining blood until there really is nothing left in her mortal system. Feeling pleased with herself Nisha lets the body fall to one side.

With the humans dead there is no point for Azar and Nisha to be in the room anymore. Standing slowly Nisha moves over to where Azar is. "We should be going, as soon as you're done with your meal. We can go back to my place, there's the chance my brothers, or one of them, will be there but they shouldn't cause too much trouble for you... they can just be a littlle over-protective". She runs her fingers through his hair then moves towards the door.

After feeding off of the girl Nisha is feeling much better, her hunger has not come back. They had walked back to the house. A simple building; two stories, barred windows and a metal reinforced front door. Nisha quietly leads Azarius inside, making sure to close and lock the door behind them. Not long afte they had come inside there is the scent of someone else in the houes, then a voice. "Nisha are you finally home... and who do you have with you?". Walking down the stairs is a male, older looking than Nisha. Long black hair like Nisha's but straight and grey blue eyes. He pauses for a moment then continues down the stairs towards the two. "Richard this is Azarius.. Azar this is my brother Richard".

[Azarius Aristarkhos]

Azar watched Nisha feed out of the corner of his eye. He, meanwhile, had sunk his fangs into the neck of the second girl that they had brought back into the room with them. While he fed on her, Nisha finished hers and walked over to him. He released the girl’s neck, leaving her too weak to be really coherent of what was going on. "We should be going, as soon as you're done with your meal. We can go back to my place, there's the chance my brothers, or one of them, will be there but they shouldn't cause too much trouble for you... they can just be a little over-protective." She ran her fingers through his hair then moved towards the door. He decided to finish draining the girl himself.

After feeding off of the girl Nisha seemed to be feeling much better, her hunger has not come back. They had walked back to the house. It was a simple building - two stories, barred windows and a metal reinforced front door. Nisha quietly led Azarius inside, making sure to close and lock the door behind them. He couldn’t shake the feeling that her brothers weren’t going to like him much because of him being a bitten vampire and because of his profession.

Not long after they had come inside there was the scent of someone else in the house. "Nisha are you finally home... and who do you have with you?" a male voice said. Walking down the stairs was a male, older looking than Nisha. He had long black hair like Nisha's but straight and grey blue eyes. He paused for a moment then continued down the stairs towards the two. "Richard this is Azarius... Azar this is my brother Richard." Nisha said. ”Nice to meet you, Richard,” Azar replied.

[Nisha Sohalia]

Richard walks up to Nisha and gives her a quick up then turns his attention to Azar. "So you're the man I've been smelling on my little sister?". Nisha sighs softly. "Richard stop it. I've known Azar for a good while now so there's no need to get huffy about him been here. He's bee helping me recently because I haven't been feeling too well". Richard looks at Azar then at Nisha. "What do you mean you haven't been feeling well?". Vampires don't get ill, they don't contract diseases so there shouldn't be anything that could make a vampire feel ill except the ingestion of werewolf blood... or. "Ni there are only two things i can think of that would make you feel like you are". Richard puts a hand on his sisters shoulder and takes her to one side away from Azar. "Have you accidently bitten any wolves accidently Ni? How exactly have you been feeling ill?". Nisha looks at Richard for a moment. "No matter how much blood I take it's never enough, I just keep wanting more and more it's like my hunger would never end. Do you know what's wrong with me?". Her brother frowns a little and leans in close to her."Nisha... you're not sick. The reason why you're feeling the way you are is because... well you're with child".

With child! She couldn't believe it. "Are you sure? How can you be sure?". Her brother laughs a little. "Because Hannah, my girlfriend, felt the exact same way when she got pregnant so I know the signs". Nisha takes a few steps back then turns to look at Az a look of surprise and strange happines in her eyes. Slowly she walks towards him and envelopes Azar in a tight hug. "Well I'm not sick we know that much".

She takes Azars hands and puts them gently on her abdomen and looks at him with a small smile. Even if Azar wasn't going to be that thrilled about it Nisha had to admitt the thought of been a mother excited her. "I've been needing so much blood because I'm not just feeding for one anymore".
