Chapter 43: Bloodletting
Sprawling languidly onto a red velvet settee, Lucius reclined. His lean body draping across it naturally, he leered at Chiri as they continued their discussion.
“Too bad your cute little partner couldn’t join us as well.” Lucius remarked, placing an elegant hand beneath the chiseled line of his jaw.
“I don’t have a partner.” Chiri replied impassively. Regardless of the many other chairs and sofas within the room, she made no move to join him.
“That’s probably for the best.” The vampire replied, resting his elbow casually on the broad arm of the couch. “After all, those who lack power always seem to bark to loudest.” He commented contemptuously, musing on the visit Chiri had made with Annaliese several years ago. Chiri was unsettled, when the memory provoked him to touch his lips, open slightly they revealed his glistening fangs. “I should really thank Miss Marchette though.” He said, still caught amidst reliving the event, “If not for her incessant yapping, w

“This is outrageous!” Exclaimed Annaliese, as they progressed down the tree lined drive. Animated in her rant about the recent increase of vampire attacks in Ineset, Chiri only listened disinterested. Subjected to the tirade in full during their long trek to Vasmere Manor, she remarked tiredly, “Calm down Anna.” “Those monsters are entirely out of line to attack innocent citizens like that.” She continued, impassioned as she marched ahead of her. “No one died.” Chiri replied impartial to the subject, “Besides, all of those people consented, I’m not sure much can be done about it, Anna.” Turning back to look at her partner disparagingly, Annaliese criticized her flippant attitude towards the matter, “How can you let this slide in good conscience, Chiri?” Motivated by her ambitions towards the lofty position of Day Gate Director, Annaliese Marchette was always quick to insert herself into the most popular issue of the day. Eager to r
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 44: A Partner of Circumstance
Entering into the Coven leader’s chambers, Allen became shocked as he took in the scene. Although, suspecting the situation to be unpleasant based off of Rika’s explanation. Allen was not quite prepared for the reality of finding Chiri Krane looking like a discarded doll beside possibly one of the most petrify vampires he had ever encountered.Only her subtle breathing suggesting that Chiri was alive, she was slumped against a pale dark-haired man. His tongue red with her blood, he still licked at the incisions on Chiri’s exposed neck. The man’s ruby colored eyes not looking up from the faint pulse below her skin, Allen crossed the room towards them. Casting his trepidations aside, he pulled Chiri forward. Separating her from the vampire, he propped her upright on edge of the couch by clutching her shoulders. “Chiri?” Allen asked. Making his voice clear so that she could hear him from her daze, he shook her gently to confirm h

Knocking curtly, Cazer soundlessly entered the room across the corridor from his own without receiving a response. Previously unoccupied, the chamber had originally been intended to accommodate a personal aide to the Director. Not adorned with many of the same trappings as the Director’s suite, its size and furnishings were simple but tasteful.The door closed securely behind him, Cazer treaded lightly towards the bed. Looking upon the face of its sleeping occupant somewhat relieved, he was surprised when his presence did not arouse her from her slumber. Depleted by the day’s events, the usually alert Chiri slept soundly, curled on her side.Coming to stand next to where she slept, Cazer regarded the diminished state of her complexion and breathing with increasing vexation. Chiri’s thin frame shivering under the covers at something, which haunted her in her dreams. Cazer could see the normally placid features of her face qu
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 46: A Blessing in Disguise
Crowded in the Grand Banquet Hall, amongst the other Hunters and their prospective partners, Allen adjusted his tie nervously. Many officials and senior members of the Alliance gathered for the formal affair, they paraded around room too preoccupied with their debates or tales of intrigue to take notice of him as he stood awkwardly to one of the rooms.Admiring the extravagant the affair, held to conduct the Blessing Ceremony between new and existing Hunters of the Twilight Gate to their chosen partners. Allen felt misplaced in his burrowed suit amid the crystal chandeliers, elaborate walls, and social gossip of the hall. Torn from his disparaging thoughts by an elbow ribbing his side. Allen turned to regard Tristan as he sidled up next to him. Two drinks in hand, his friend glanced around in a deliberately overexaggerated manner, before asking, “Where’s this mysterious partner of yours Al?”Tired of his jests on this topic, Allen could only summon a

Their discussion interrupted by an ominous booming voice from overhead. Allen took one more perturbed glance at Chiri, before slipping the trinket she had given him into a suit pocket.The voice announcing that the Blessing Ceremony was about to commence, they both made their way towards the raised platform at the front of the banquet hall. Two staircases descending down onto it from above, they served to grant access only the Elders and officials on the upper levels. Most choosing to view the ceremony from behind the lustrous golden curtains on the balcony above, the few who were officiating the ceremony already sat on grand throne like chairs awaiting them. Immediately distinguishing one to be Xavier Crouse, Chiri’s eyes skimmed over the remaining seven Elders present. Identifying another loathsome character amidst their ranks, her face made a tiny tremor of disgust. Chiri’s distaste forcing her to look away from their countenance, she attempted to ignore their
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 48: My Shadow’s Shadow
Chiri took a deep breath. The frigid air chilling her lungs, she looked out over the garden below the terrace. Housing many exotic plants groomed by the Alliance for medicines and potions, their darkened leaves made disfigured shadows on the ground and walls as they shook from a gust of cold air. Chiri acknowledge that her partnership with Allen may not have been the wisest decision. Regardless of the trouble and opposition it was likely to cause them both, Chiri felt it was the best she could do to aid Allen Pierce. However, not entirely altruistic in her motivations, Chiri had her own reasons for accepting Allen’s request. Although, she had assured Cazer that she would exercise caution due to the attacks aimed towards her before. Chiri could not pass up the opportunity to investigate the mysterious threat herself. Bothered that their attacks had already killed one man and endangered several others. Chiri was just as keen as her partner to put a stop to their activities, and her agre
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 48.5: A Rose with Many Thorns
Twirling the liquid in her glass dispassionately, Chiri glanced around the crowded banquet hall. Exhausted by the tediousness of attending such events, she stood alone at one side of the room. A mild summer breeze entering the room through the open exit to the terrace, she was revived slightly by the cool air as it swept past her. Having just returned from an assignment merely a few hours earlier that day. Chiri had no opportunity to rest prior to donning formal attire. Covered in charred debris and baring a shallow cut, which ran the length of her outer thigh on one leg, Chiri still possessed a certain wariness about her demeanor that made her mildly unapproachable to most. Despite having bathed, she could still smell the ash left by her mercilessly scorched opponents clinging to her. Her third consecutive mission of the week, Chiri intended to take on another shortly after resting for a day. Completing successive missions after she was made a Guardian, Chiri had qu
Moon Gate Guardians Chapter 49: Body and Mind
Finding Chiri on the terrace, Cazer removed his jacket. Seeing her slim frame shiver even from afar, Chiri seemed to have become oblivious to the cold as she remained caught in her lone ruminations.Coming to stand beside her silently, Cazer placed his jacket over her bare shoulders. Chiri’s skin turning cold from standing outside in the harsh winter air, Cazer replaced his hand on the crevice in her back. The dip fitting his palm naturally, Cazer felt the little space begin to warm gradually as he continued to rest his hand along its soft dip.Cazer was not in any way surprised that Chiri had chosen to remove herself from the crowded interior of the banquet hall at the first available instance. Although, Cazer would have preferred Chiri had been more attentive towards her decreasing body temperature. He would not criticize her for seeking some solace on the secluded terrace.Whilst, feeling the loss of her company more acutely than he had expected. Cazer
