*Rochard knocks gently on Charles' door, glancing around, ready to run if he sees Bromias*
@charlesmars
*puts his feet down and pushes off to leap onto John*
*moves in the nick of time to catch him, laughing loudly and kissing him*
*kisses sweetly woth a grin*
*demetri tackles them into the water*
*continues to laugh and tries to squirm away just enough to wrestle Demetri*
*Richard manages to get on Demetri's back*
*tries to wrap his legs around his midsection*
*Demetri laces his fingers into johns hair, his other hand reaching behind him to do the same for Richard, grinning*
*he bites his own lip with a chuckle* It seems like you've won, Demetri. What would you like as your reward?
To actually play the game... *he purrs*
Then lets play. *closer to his face, breathing on his lips*
Then you both need to run. *their lips touch as he speaks*
*the pools are a natural cave system that is cavernous with a few hiding places*
*lets the tip of his tongue just barely caress his bottom lip before vamp speeding out of the pool*
*by the time john has looked away from Demetri's face, Richard is already out of sight*
*he has noticed as hes out of the pool and down a chamber to hide away*
*considers mentally talking to Richard and asking but doesnt want to take the chance of Demetri being able to listen in to give away his location*
*Demetri sinks down into the water and seems to be lazily swimming when he realizes something*
*he does look somewhat in johns direction but then he starta scanning the room with his eyes, sear hing with slightly more concentration*
*he is as silent as he can be with room to spare to continue moving if need be*
*hes not sure exactly the upper limit of Demetri's powers and if Demetri is already looking for him, as he assumes he is so he doesnt attempt to look just yet*
*there is suddenly an aura of power, like a warning of a predator nearby, the sense of danger as their vampire senses should pick up something is stalking them, both he and richard should feel it*
*he feels this, his hair standing on end*
*manages to get up the walls of the chamber and brace himself near the 'ceiling'*
Little piggies... *his voice echoes and rumbles *
*he is as still as possible, all his senses on high alert*
He passes by the entry to where John is, the aura intensifying*
*his instincts have been elevated before but this aura is something entirely different, showing him how powerful Demetri really is*
*even though he rationally knows hes okay, his body believes hes about to die*
*Demetri cant yet find them but is really taking in the feeling of their fear, as Richard is having the same reaction*
I dont know if I can do this...
*his replies as quiet as a whisper*
Its all play... training...
*Demetri suddenly pauses, making a loud show of it and this sends a pang of fear from Richard through their link*
*Grits his teeth, feeling himself begin to shake, fighting the urge to run*
Calm, baby, calm...
*Demetri smiles* Richard seems to have inherited some of my skills.
John, youre a little easier... *his voice is the only sound now*
Good job going as still as you both have.
*feels himself beginning to sweat blood out of his intense nervousness*
*he starts down the passage that John is in*
*the sweat makes his hands wet, he tries to fight slipping from the ceiling*
*he slows as he goes down the passageway, sniffing* Where is your lover? Hm?
*a drop of blood sweat falls onto the ground, making the tinest splash sound*
*he freezes*
You may run again. See if you can outrun me.
*realizes he's found, landing quietly and vamp speeding down the corridor*
Faster, John. *the voice much closer than it should be*
*he pushes as fast as he can, turning a corner and hoping to lose him*
Where is your childer, John? *voice echoing*
*turns another corner, fear still gripping him, a put in his stomach as he has no clue where Richard is*
Faster, start using your other powers. Jump, climb... fly. I know you can. *growls close behind him, fingers gripping at his hair*
*he suddenly leaps along the wall, bounding back and forth until the ceiling widens and heightens , he leaps and flies up it*
*he does let him go, to lose track of him to keep the game going, now looking for Richard*
*as he flies up he sees a narrow corridor and ducks inside*
*keeps moving quickly through here until he knows hes not followed*
*still talking out loud so they can both hear him*
Richard, climbing this rock face, you left marks. I can see where you broke the rock face to make handholds.
*he keeps having to remind himself that this is a game and Richard especially is in no real danger*
*there is suddenly a loud scuffle, some loud thugs and water splashing then Demetri growling*
*he goes to the entrance of the narrow high corridor*
Richard.... are you alright?
He found me... but i got away. I don't know if he just let me go like he did you.
*Demetri is swimming lazily as he tries to figure out where they went*
He's still playing. He also doesnt like to lose.
It is... fun. Despite being terrifying.
Richard, how are you doing that? *demetri calls out*
*he almost laughs at Demetri's question but reminds himself to stay silent*
*there is a sudden splash and some thrashing in the water, this lasts longer until there is a bit of hissing from both and the smell of both of their blood*
Joooohhhn! Ive got your childer!
I got him first! I caught him by surprise!
