The secret.

[Payne Blackwood-Corbin]

She shrugs and turns around. "I don't know. I am not even sure what drew me here. Probably your stupidity." Rolls her eyes, then glances out the window seeing Ryu walk away. "As for Priest.. " A slight visible shudder running through her just saying his name. "... I hope someone drives a stake through his cold ass heart." Dark brown, almost black eyes not leaving the window, her arms moving to hug herself as something about Ryu reminds her of... Staver. Just the thought of him makes her shake her head to knock the image loose and look back at her cousin. "Maybe I will stay. I don't have anything else pressing at the moment." Smirks.

[Tempest]

Well you know you can stay. ::She snuggled under the covers and sighed:: Priest has been killed before and he always finds a way back. ::She watched her as she looked out the window. :: Who are you thinking about Payne? ::That was her stupid question for the day but she would never say his name:: #nosmileys

[Payne Blackwood-Corbin]

She just shakes her head again and walks over to the bed. She looks at Tempie for a minute, a flash of vulnerability flashing in those dark hues for only a second, then she lifts the covers and crawls in next to her cousin. "I'm fine. Don't worry about me... " Laying there, facing the window, she knows that she would have never come back to these parts of the realm if it wasn't for Tempest, and now, a new little cousin. Suddenly, she had more to protect than she thought.

::The dark side of Tempest would then cringe, a feeling of her own heart being pushed through her chest as the startling image of a young man, looking similar to his brother in many ways would appear behind the woman she called Payne. His upper body was covered by a silver inlay breastplate, the blue tunic striped with red, that of Celdeciea's colors hanging under it. Black pants were tucked into matching black leather boots which rose a little beneath his knees. At his side hung a Topaz hilt in a fine leather scabbard embroidered with silver and gold::

"Where is the man known as Vincent Leon Cambridge?"

::He would step forward, every step of coming closer making Tempest feel weaker. If this pain had any of the demon or same evil blood she too would feel the pressure of his presence. His guantleted hand was holding the scabbard just below the sword hilt. No move of drawing it, and their silence was beginning to irritate him::

"Look. I have been cooped up with demon's for thousands of years. Your very exsistance makes me sick. I rather kill you than talk to you. Answer me now. Where is my brother? I felt his presence here earlier. Where is he?"

::Those sapphire hues would then turn to Cambridge, his eyes narrowing slightly as a twisted grin crossed his face as his god spoke to his mind and from looks of it he nodded ever so slightly that it may not have really happened::

"I see..."

[Tempie]

::Her hand went to her chest as the tightness increased. She climbed out of the bed under sheare will power and made it to the crib before she collapsed. She forced the words past the lump in her throat:: He was here. He left thru a portal. I don't knwo where the hell he is. Get out of my house. ::She heard his words and smirked:: Go ahead and kill me. Won't do you any good. Immortality sucks. ::She clung to the bars of the crib and pulled her self up as she saw one of the most evil looks cross his features:: You stay away from MY son. ::She clung to the crib in a death grip and screamed out into the night wind:: ~VINCENT!!!!~

Kavan would feel it first, the tear in the fabric of air as the aura of almost psycoticness swarmed the room. A screeching could be heard in Payne's and Tempest's head as Vincent entered the room through the portal. Glaring at Kavan he would growl, and would see Tempest on the floor. "Kyate vo' nilvarim." The aura of purity would be blocked around Kavan as Vincent began to chant more, another spell. Kavan would feel the aura of Evil radiate from Vincent now and Tempest and Payne would feel the aura too, regaining their composure.

"We have always been given oposite powers. Yours that of purity, mine that of all which is evil. Your only one of my brother's clone spell's... so you have no power over me. I am no longer that weaker Ryu, you really are dense Kavan."

[Tempie]

::She took a deep, ragged breath and was finally able to stand. She gathered up Cambridge and walked around the crib, putting it between her and the stranger in her room. She held on to him for dear life as Ryu spoke. Within her own mind she began chanting a spell. One that would protect the names she had spoken. She knew Ryu/Vincent was more powerful then her but she would do anything to protect her child. All thoughts were on him now. Silent prayers were sent out to the gods of her clan. She had no idea who this man was and for the first time in many, many years, she was scared.::

[kavancambridge]

"Dear, Dear brother..."

::Kavan would stand, mentally pushing himself up he would hold out one hand, Soulstealer appearing in it as he turned and brought the sword's onyx blade upward, stabbing up through Ryu's lower abdomen straight into his heart, throat and into his brain, blood would spill upon the floor, like a flood as the blade mde its sickening squish of coming out of the body::

"You are not Ryu, your wiseness is lacking and he would have been ready."

::Everyone would feel that boost to their souls die, as Ryu fell to the ground and then the same pushing upon their hearts would return as his holy aura was released from Ryu's barrier, and he would step toward the lady known as Tempest, looking at the child::

"Take care of my brother's child, demon. As soon as you step out of line, I will gladly slay you..."

[Payne Blackwood-Corbin]

She blinks up at the man that appeared in Tempie's room, then slaps her hands to hear ears as the screeching from Vincent ripping through tore through her mind. Damned Mortals. So she thought. Scrambling out of bed, she moves to Tempie's side on the other side of the crib. Standing somewhat in front of Tempie protectively as she watched the two men before her. When Kavan spoke to Tempie, threatened her, she growled. Killing her wouldn't matter, vamps always come back, immortality is a beautiful thing, but laying a hand on Tempie would be his last mistake.

She glances at her cousin and the baby over her shoulder, then looks back up to Ryu, black hues narrowed.

"You put Tempie in this mess, now get her the hell out of it."

[ryuyogen]

The aura would begin to return, the room seeming to grow darker as the blood began to seep back into Ryu's body and finally he would stand, that twisted grin upon his face as he clenched both fists at his sides, sighing with extacy as he turned that emotionless sapphire gaze to Kavan. "I asked you to return me to my body, not harass her." He would chuckle as he walked up grabbing Kavan's shoulder, absorbing the energy of Kavan's Summoned clone till it would seem to fade to nothingness.

Then he would turn to Tempest, the aura of darkness feeding her the strength needed to regain herself from Kavan's holy aura. "be safe Tempest. Seems Vincent handled Lina badly, she'll never know it wasn't me I suppose. Matters not. My time for coldheartedness will come soon... rather her not see the future events which may take place..." with that he would turn and leave toward the portal Vincent had come through, now Tempest would feel the aura of raw power, it was even stronger than the old Ryu, or the new Vincent. But not close to Kavan's. The portal would close behind him.
