Remus

"Who's ready for what? A party?"

Remus grinned wide and dangerous, “It’ll be a party for one of us.”

"Free will?!" Mercy hissed, hatefully of what she just had been told. That vampire murdered hunters as it it was a mere sport. Slaughtered slayers as if they were made out of paper. And assuming that he probably aimed for the beginners, they obvious stand no chance. "You can’t just slaughter people! How dare you?! It’s a shame I didn’t brought my flame thrower with me!"

Mercy wasn’t calming down at all as her heart remained to pound faster and faster, her breathing accelerated. And her hands.. tickling to get in action. “He’s a monster!”

"I can slaughter who I want, when I want, HOW I want!" Remus spat back at her. "It is you little mortal girl, who cannot tell me what to do! I’d like to see you just try to kill me. I’m more powerful than any vampire you’ve faced and you think you can tell me what I should and shouldn’t do?!" He was very close to his breaking point and Dhante or no Dhante, he wanted to destroy that puny little girl and show her for what she was.

Dhante shook his head at Mercy, “Mercy, yes.. Remus is a monster and he likes it that way. Please don’t push him!” Dhante moved over to Remus, physically backing him away from the mortal now. He could sense his brother’s anger growing stronger and he needed to get Remus away from his friend. ”I’m taking you home Remus.”

"Oh you! How dare you! Get down here, I will teach you something!" Mercy hissed, willing to ambush him but not capable of doing so as her friend was still holding her. Furious she shot Remus a glare, hoping that he would magically vaporize or perhaps explode. Yes, that would be a lovely ending for him. Yet she knew that Dhante probably loved his brother and therefor it would be a great loss to him. "He kills innocents as if it is a mere sport! How can you allow him to be like this? Because he’s your brother? Is he worth more than anyone else? "

Dhante held her back, "No Mercy! I'm not his keeper, I'm his brother! Yes, he is! To me, he worth the entire world! Yes, he kills people. So does the majority of the vampire race! He's just a little more vocal about it. Going through hunters? Do you realize how many innocent vampires they kill just because we have fangs? There are some vampires that have never taken a human life. Do you mean to tell me they deserve to die? Because your precious hunters will kill them too!" Dhante knew now wasn't the time for this debate, but he was trying to get the focus off his brother. Hopefully Remus would take the hint and just head home.

Remus, however, didn't get that memo.

"Hunters taste the best. Their blood is so full of hatred and it fuels me."

"I trust you." {AMortalWinter}

"I hope so. I never plan on doing you any harm." He held his little mortal close. Taking her small hand into his, he interlaced their fingers. He let his presence envelope her, protecting her.

She glanced to her hand in his and smiled, color coming to her cheeks as she enjoyed staying near to him. It still amazed her that such a dark and blood thirsty being had chosen to offer her a place near him. A place to know she was truly safe.

"Thank you my gladiator. I know not many can call you friend as I can."

Remus squeezed her hand to reassure her. He didn't speak but instead he let his body speak for him. His whole aura seemed a lot more calm, it always did around her. She was the one human in the world, that he would never bite...would never kill. His face softened around her, he almost wore a smile when she spoke to him. His thumb stroked along her knuckles softly. He would always be there for her. That would never change.

*pops into the ask box and waves hello to her protective vampire* Hi Remus. Missed me? (AMortalWinter)

"I worried about you Winter." He took her hand and drew her closer to him, so that he could better protect her.

"The twins are my friends Remus, even Cain." She closed her eyes and smiled at the gentle affection of such a brutal male. He always managed to surprise her and bring those little blushes back to her cheeks. "But you are right. You are my protector Remus. I need no other when you are here looking after me."

He didn’t understand the concept of friendship. He had few people he actually cared about. The rest he tolerated. In the instance of Cain, he barely dealt with his presence. ”Why do you need friends? Why are they important to you? Dhante holds his friends to the level of family. I don’t understand that.”

She looked surprised at that before smiling a little, “I need friends to keep from being lonely. I don’t have very many people in my life who would care if I got hurt or died. Or who might come to help me if I got into trouble. It is nice to know when you have others around who care about you” She shook her head, “It is a sad thing when you have no one to share your joys or sorrows with. To know you could disappear in a puff of smoke and the world would go one like you were never even there.”

She sighed then, sad, “I don’t know why Dhante keeps his friends as close as family, but i know that for the first time in my life someone thinks I am important enough to care about, and I find them important to me as well. I care about if they are well or if they are being hurt.”

"There is a small peaceful satisfaction with not having anyone care if I were to be hurt or killed. To be able to do anything I want without fear of the repercussions." He looked to her, knowing he does not have that anymore. He didn't really have it before, not with Dhante. "I would like it though, to share my life with you, Winter."

He pulled her in a little more, giving her a small hug and fell silent again. His eyes closed slightly as he hugged the small mortal, inhaling her scent and listening to her blood course through her fragile human body.

Remus growled a low and tired growl. ”You are mocking me, Gypsy. You know I want to squash you. I’d love nothing more than to rip your limbs off and see how long it takes you to bleed to death, in a manner of speaking. But we both know I’ve been forbidden to kill you by my brother.” He moved closer and growled again, “How you like to dangle that in my face. It gets old gypsy.”

"Since when do you welcome the leash your brother has put about your neck? He’s turned you into a mutt—a pathetic house pet whose all bark and no bite. You talk of killing me but you won’t do it. Hell, you haven’t even shed my blood once!" He lifted his chin and stepped closer, his entire body language willing Remus to attack him.

"I've always welcomed this so called "leash", Cain. What you fail to realize is that I will always spare whoever my brother wants me to because I respect him. He is the only family I have and coincidentally, I actually care about him and his wishes. So no. You clearly have a death wish, but you'll no longer find threats from me. It was fun to watch you squirm, but I'm done now." His voice was cold and steady.

"I worried about you Winter." He took her hand and drew her closer to him, so that he could better protect her.

The tiny human smiled and little and let her head rest against his shoulder, “Well don’t worry anymore. I am here now and I won’t leave again.”

He held her close, listening to that little mortal heartbeat. ”Good. Stay here with me.” He stroked her hair as he held her close. He had not felt so vulnerable as when she was not in his arms.

She nodded, “Of course I will stay Remus.” She relaxed against him knowing at least there was one place in the world where she was safe. ”Being with you and Dhante and Alakai and the twins… This is my home now. Without you guys I wouldn’t survive for very long. I know that.”

He kept his tiny mortal close. ”I will protect you from everything. You don’t need the twins.” He didn’t like the thought of that Cain near his little Winter. She was his to protect and possibly love, not that stupid Gypsy’s. Before he knew what he was doing, he planted a kiss on the top of her head.

"The twins are my friends Remus, even Cain." She closed her eyes and smiled at the gentle affection of such a brutal male. He always managed to surprise her and bring those little blushes back to her cheeks. "But you are right. You are my protector Remus. I need no other when you are here looking after me."

"Who's ready for what? A party?"

Remus grinned wide and dangerous, “It’ll be a party for one of us.”

"How dare you! You cannot just wander off to slaughter people! " Mercy hissed in agony, terrified that this vampire would have more in store for her. Yet she ought at her hardest not to show any kind of despair nor fear. Knowing that he would obvious enjoy that the most.

For a mere moment Mercy assumed that this was going to be the end, assumed that Dhante wasn’t going to respond to her and that either his brother would gruesome slaughter her or take her as captive to torture her endlessly. But when he appeared, a soft sigh escaped her lips. She probably never had been so glad to see the vampire. “I am alright yes, he didn’t harm me yet..”

"I’ll do whatever I please!" The gladiator roared in Mercy’s face even with the distance Dhante put between them.

"Remus please!" Dhante put his hand out further against his brother. "Now is not the time to defend your free will." The gentler of the twins put his arms around Mercy. "I’m sorry you’ve encountered him. He’s really not too bad once you get to know him." He knew she’d retort about Remus being a killer, but he was really just trying to get her heart back to a normal rhythm.

"Free will?!" Mercy hissed, hatefully of what she just had been told. That vampire murdered hunters as it it was a mere sport. Slaughtered slayers as if they were made out of paper. And assuming that he probably aimed for the beginners, they obvious stand no chance. "You can’t just slaughter people! How dare you?! It’s a shame I didn’t brought my flame thrower with me!"

He could sense his brother's anger growing stronger and he needed to get Remus away from his friend. "I'm taking you home Remus."

"Just let me Die!" {SecondPrinceElrohir}

Remus raised an eyebrow at the elf. "You really want to make Dhante that upset? Seems sort of selfish to me." He was unphased by the elf's begging for death himself. He had no desire to kill Ro, especially since Dhante loved him so much.

"I trust you." {AMortalWinter}

"I hope so. I never plan on doing you any harm." He held his little mortal close. Taking her small hand into his, he interlaced their fingers. He let his presence envelope her, protecting her.

"Do I know you?"

Remus growled, "You do not." Who was this? Another one of Dhante's friends? He figured he probably shouldn't kill him just in case. "Who are you?" It was all he could do just to ask for the introduction. Forced to be civil... He didn't like it one bit.
