June 10th - Dormatory Hallways (Possible R rating)

[servessithis]

[Vicente prefers hunting sapient prey, but this may provide a good distraction. It is like when he went hunting with Alucard.

The vampire stays in the shadows as he makes his way through the hallways. Perhaps he will make his way to one the higher floors he has yet to explore.]

[themonsters]

[He's not the only one in the shadows, a growl is all the warning he has before a monster in a red mask charges at him.]

[servessithis]

[Vicente hears that growl and only barely jumps out of the way in time. This creature managed to sneak up on him. He prepares for another attack, raising his hands.]

[themonsters]

[The monster keeps charging, once it gets close enough it brings slashes with it's claws, aiming for the chest.]

[servessithis]

[Vicente's reflexes keep him from getting mortally wounded, but those claws still rake across his flesh, tearing his shirt and drawing blood.

The vampire retaliates with a fear spell. Just a small one, to conserve his mana.]

[themonsters]

[The spell hits, the monsters black form shimmers and for a moment the monster seems stuck between running away and continuing to attack, Vincente may have a couple of seconds before the instinct to kill wins over and it charges again.]

[servessithis]

[Vicente leaps at the monster, wrapping his strong arms around it and moving in to bite its neck.

He doesn't want to drink its blood, since he can't get nourishment from the blood of a non-sapient and doesn't want to risk the monsters here having bad blood. But biting into the right artery can cause lots of bleeding and he can at least bite off a chunk of neck flesh for further damage.]

[themonsters]

[His teeth sink into the monster, but the monster uses the closeness to try and bite back, at Vicente's shoulder. Should that happen Vicente's powers will disappear and he will be filled with a berserk rage, unable to do anything but attack madly.

Blood came from the monsters neck and it growled in pain, stumbling a little though the cut was beginning to heal.]

[servessithis]

[Vicente releases the creature, gasping in shock as he's bitten. He stumbles back, holding his hands to his head, before snarling at the creature. He releases a couple orbs of ice magic, thrown out blindly and quickly with none of his usual poise, before charging at the thing, clawing and biting at.]

[themonsters]

[The last of the magic hit and the monster was frozen for a moment, the moment it could the monster fought back, swiping at Vicente's face.]

[servessithis]

[The monster's claw grazed Vicente's face, slicing his cheek. The vampire lunges his head forward, teeth bared, to animalisticly bite the thing's face.]

[themonsters]

[As fangs sink in to the monsters face the monster brings it's claws down to rake down Vicente's side, trying to tear at the skin there.]

[themonsters]

OOC: Just a quick clarification, the monsters bite nullifies any magic/supernatural abilities as well as causing the berserk rage. Sorry if I confused you!

[servessithis]

[ooc: My mistake]

[The claws rake across his skin, tearing his shirt further and slicing the skin, blood oozing from his pale flesh. By now he's beginning to get woozy from all the blood loss.

He tries to use more magic, only to find his mana either drained or cut off. Instead, the vampire hisses and begins clawing at the creature's face. If he were more coherent, he'd be wishing that he didn't keep his nailed trimmed.]

[themonsters]

[The monster claws back, sharp claws digging into flesh, trying to dig into it's preys chest. It's only thought was to kill]

[servessithis]

[The claws brush his chest, drawing yet more blood. All of Vicente's rage is focused on the monster and he grips it by the neck tightly, prepared to snap its neck.]

[themonsters]

[The monster began gasping for breath, but it didn't stop it's claws lashing out, still trying to rip and tear and kill. It's growls had stopped though as it's air was cut off]

[servessithis]

[Were he in his right state of mind, Vicente would have simply frozen it to death with magic. Now, however, he simply dug his fingers into the thing's neck, vampiric strength letting him get a nice, hard grip, and simply punched the thing repeatedly across the face with all his remaining strength, which was beginning to dwindle thanks to the blood loss.]

[themonsters]

[The blows caused the monster to growl again, and snap at the fists, trying to bite them, claws scratching at Vicente. The claws in his neck though meant it couldn't heal itself and it growled louder as it began to slow from loss of blood.]
