Arianrhod took a seat and crossed her legs while starring down the chief as he made his explanation. Desperate times. Desperate times that only a very select seemed to know about and yet soon the world would with this ‘controlled monster’ on the loose.
“Why hadn’t any of us been briefed about this before? Seven of them; you have seven of these creatures that we are just supposed to let take down vampires.” She huffed in disbelief. This was the type of thing fairy tales and nightmares were made of.
She sat there in disbelief. So it was true that humans were no longer at the top of the food chain but of course being the creature that they are they wouldn’t let that happen without a fight. “So we should expect to see that more? And what do you think these vampires are going to do now to retaliate?”

As they left the appartment by way of the front entrance this time, Isabelle stopped a passing cab and gave him the address for her next stop, a Local den. Looking at her younger companion, she ralized that she had yet to feed. "Are you ok, Adrean?"
Nodding in resopnse to the query, she replied "I'll be fine for a little bit yet. it's not as bad as it used to be." She could remember the hunger that plagued her in the early days of her change. It had been a constant thing, that without an older companion with her at all times, she would lose control. But with the 5 years since she had been bade into what she was now, the hunger didn't attack her the way it used to. But she would need to feed soon.

Grace smiled and leaned into his shoulder and watched the dance floor, and her friend who was getting rather close to her own partner.

The police chief sighed, dropping the file he had picked up briefly on the desk. "The vampires could do much to retailiate, however, a newly made vampire is easy to pick off, and they can't overhunt their food supply. However, this is a growing problem, and the Governor promised that something would be done." He replied, shaking his head. "My hope is that they only release one, the 'most stable' as they called the one called Shiki, and that he solves our problem."
Shiki finished drinking, the remains turned into dust immediately, absorbed into himself. He felt an enormous amounts of memories burn in his mind, and he shook slightly as his body assimilated all the information.... and promptly slipped away, deciding to aimlessly wander until he felt better....
Grace's partner slid his hands around Grace's body, still counting his lucky stars while his friend circled the floor in a dance with Catherine, the night a beautiful one, both men unsuspecting in the least that they might be in any danger at all....

So that being she had followed was Shiki and the most stable. A growing problem kept so under wraps; shouldn’t have been that surprising if it wasn’t for the fact that it was something more out of a nightmare. She sighed off the initial anger and watched the chief at his desk. How long had he known?
“Chief, what do you expect us to do about this? Obviously there is Shiki and the others but if it is a growing threat it will take the effort of more then the one creature, wouldn’t it?” She had gotten a glimpse of how Shiki handled himself and was sure that wasn’t hardly anything to him but this was starting to involve the police force more and Arianrhod felt she had the right to know; just as the others would as well.

Once they reached their destination, Adrean used the taxi driver for a snack, taking enough to hold her hunger at bay, but not enough for the man to notice. He would remember nothing of the encounter, and the marks would fade shortly. As the cab pulled away, Isabelle and Adrean walked into the new building to speak with the next person on Isabelle’s list.

The police chief nodded. "Indeed.... but Shiki's main advantage is his uncanny ability to locate the enemy, at least as far as I'm concerned. Any vampire he feeds on only makes him more dangerous to us, and he had problems functioning in sunlight, so he's also the easiest one to control to a point. However, I would rather the police force took a more effective role..... now that his first night has proven his effectiveness. As for revenge, I really don't think the vampires can do too much. Worst thing they could do is cause enough panic to authorize the release of another one." The police chief stated, looking rather tired....
Shiki walked around the police station, finally making his way out idly, almost curiously walking into the streets, causing more than a few stares. Shiki didn't bother to return the stares; He was bored, and clearly not hungry.
In the building, it was almost completely empty, with the exception of a young girl, at least she looked to be only 12, named Anna. Long blond hair framed the girl's childish face, which barely glanced at Isabelle as she entered. She shifted in her chair, every so slightly, a thin black nightgown clinging to her. "Good Evening. If I had known you were coming Isabelle, I would have asked some of the younger vampires to wait." She said quietly, before closing her light green eyes in thought. "Are you here to have a friendly chat, or business?" She asked, almost curiously, not even bothering to recognize Adrean... a quick scan would show the rather nice den, clean of all traces of anything with the exception of a few novels here and there, and some furniture, all oak....

‘..makes him more dangerous to us.’ Arianrhod didn’t like the sound of that at all but she stillw asn’t sure how the police force themselves would be able to handle this matter. Obviously that is why Shiki and these apparent others were made in the first place. “Then let’s take a more effective role. Make a Special Forces unit and let’s go take care of this infestation.” She said this as if it were the easiest thing to do.
The weariness was obvious on the chief’s face. This was taking a lot of him and he shouldn’t have to be the only one to handle this matter. “Alright, well. I am out of here soon Chief but if there is anything I can do, just let me know. Alright? I saw those things with my own eyes tonight…” Arianrhod didn’t know how to continue on. “Just we’re at your disposal and there is an obvious threat. Don’t try and take everything out on your own.”

"Business, unfortunately..." She took a seat in a chair across from where Anna was resting. "It is probably for the best that you didn't know before hand. We don't need delays from questions that the younger one don't need the answers to. We have a rather, complicated, problem on our hands."
While her mistress spoke to the childlike master, Adrean stood just inside the doorway, taking in the conversation playing out before her. ------------------

"Business?" Anna asked, almost slightly amused. "It can't be that important, considering humans always have a new form of business.... then again, occasionally they do something brilliant...." She said, always ready to listen.....
----------------
The police chief shook his head. "We have a special forces unit. They created Shiki to drop casualties.... not to mention, they note that certain vampires are just too powerful for normal humans..... not like you perhaps, but ordinary humans....." He said, shaking his head. "I'm going to call it a night...."

She held back and kept quite. Arianrhod would let the chief have his peace now. What did he mean by that though? ‘Not like her.’ “Very well, I’ll see you tomorrow then.” She took her leave and hit the streets once more. Of course she knew that the streets weren’t safe but they never had been. Still she couldn’t shake off the chill that had crept up from what she had witnessed this night. Arianrhod just started to make her way home, there wasn’t much else to be done and it was late.

"Well, then this one is a moment of brilliance. I have just come from another den, a rather distasteful meeting... But that is another story. According to the information they were able to gather, the Police have created a new weapon... A Living one. From my understanding, they have created seven of these creatures, each with some degree of insanity, as a last ditch effort to exterminate our kind. They have unleashed to most stable one, with the orders to wipe out all vampires." She spoke in a level and detached voice as she gave a breif summary of her rather limited information.

Anna listened to this tale, before smiling. "Ah yes. I heard this story around eight years ago... they used voluteers and a willing vampire's assistance to create pseudo-vampires..... freaks that would hopefully obey them and keep us in check. Failed brilliantly by human standrads, mainly because they killed as many humans as vampires. Of course, perhaps the threat is perceived to be greater from us...."
--------------------
The parties were still continuing, and not much disturbed Arianrhod's walk home, mainly because of the time. Most well-intentioned people already had left, quickly and slightly.....
A few homeless people slept in gutters, looking at her as she walked by, but most stayed where they were.....

A few glanced towards some familiar faces and some not as familiar as she walked home. Arianrhod only lived a few blocks away. She liked being close to work and the area wasn’t too bad. The key slid into the door easily and air hit her hard as she walked into the building and took the stairs up to her apartment. She wanted a shower more than anything though. So wash the stench of the night off and to wake up to a new day where perhaps all this had been a dream.
As Arianrhod slipped into her small apartment her little grey tabby welcomed her with a mew before running off to his dish. “Tsk. So greedy.” She fed the cat before removing her jacket and tossing it onto a chair. It was a matter of moments before all articles of clothing were removed and the steam of the shower surrounded her. The thoughts of the night wouldn’t wash away though.

Isabelle sat back at that little bit of information, all of it new to her. "Why was I not informed of this at the time?" she paused, and then spoke again, "And what vampire would be willing to work with the humans to create such an abomination?"
--------
As Catherine seduced her partner on the dance floor, Grace was moving along with her young man. Leaning down, her lips almost brushing his, she waited a moment, before, closing that gap with a light kiss.

Anna simply closed her eyes. "It was a bit back.... And besides, it failed so horribly that it was called one of mankind's blunders, not a threat. Imagine... Seven supposedly under control creatures, attacking and consuming the vampire and scientists who created them, thus learning how to reproduce if they so chose, and would have left together if they hadn't foreseen such an occurence and froze them into a solid iceblock of air. However.... something all of these 'freaks' do share is the ability to gain most of the powers and all of the memories of their victims. I hear one or two of them are capable of changing themselves into perfect duplicates of others to represent that...."
Meanwhile, Shiki had stopped wandering aimlessly, walking into the nightclub. When someone tried to stop him at the door, Shiki knocked him aside, staring at the man before continuing his path....
The poor victims of Grace and Catherine were completely ensnared by this point, following their partner's leads..... their own nerviousness, if any, banished to the winds.....
