Watch the Queen Conquer

Sybil Dragović, 28/1000+, vampire, the Original Femme Fatale

Their town was in ruin and within the mess, fear had begun to breed, arising new worries to be cast upon them all. A new species? Arthur hadn’t heard of such a thing in centuries and yet here they stood, the Originals at a loss. How strange to be caught off guard when surprises had seemed like an impossible feat for so long. “I’ll make you another.” Arthur offers as his eyes scanned over the painting, a beautiful one but there were plenty others that could replace it. “That’s the lovely thing about art, it’s unlimited.” Moving to stand beside her, fingers traced over the paint strokes. “It seems we’ve been placed in the midst of a mess.” Idly he outlined the canvas before dropping his hand by his side. “Have you spoken to any of the others?” They’d all lived their lives out separately for so long, perhaps one of them had heard of such a species before even if another had not. “I’m not sure what to make of this Sybil, these creatures seem just as ancient as one of our own if not older.” It was a mess, a tragic ill written chaos. 

Of all the possibilities for who was behind the storm, this was one Sybil certainly did not see coming. For certain, she thought it had been a coven of travelers who were going to work against her family for Loukios’ actions. But to have a new species appear as the culprits behind it was a complete and utter shock. Sybil could not even remember the last time she had been truly surprised or shocked like this. When one lived for over a thousand years, there was very little that could surprise her or was completely unknown to her. Her siblings were the same way, they were used to being the strongest in the room and knowing more. “Please do. I enjoyed that one immensely. It really spoke to our power and our beginning.” It spoke to a softer and more humane side of her, a side that few besides Arthur had seen. “Yes, I do know your talent can easily replace anything I have lost.” Things and possessions were not as important to her, she gathered up a large amount of lavish things over the centuries. While she did love them all and desired more, she felt no loss with the damage. Setting aside the last of the paintings, she turned to face him. “Only Catalina and she did not have any knowledge of the species either. She will reside with me now.” She handed him another painting of his one that was damaged before facing him and crossing her arms over her chest. “I am worried about this, Arthur. How is it possible for our whole family to have no knowledge of this species? How do we rule the Earth for over a thousand years and have never seen them before? I do not like this. I fear a bigger storm is coming.”

“You can call me Jin. I’m a member of the vampire council in town–new to it, mind you. Still adjusting to the quiet after moving here from New York.“ She’s clever. He can tell by the way she finds him wanting with her eyes. “And I doubt very few are vocal about anything aside from loyalty. I hear your teeth are quite sharp.“

“Not only do you flatter me, Jin, but you are very respectful. Two pleasant things I can admire.” Sybil smiled charmingly. “I have heard a little about this town council. Please, tell me more about it and your role in it.” It would serve her well to learn about the council if she would stay here for a little. Her lips curled up revealing pearly whites. “They are quite sharp.”

catalina: yes i know. i’ll try to keep my spirit up for you.

catalina: if i were to run to one brother, believe me, it would not be loukios. humans are naive as a species. i hope arthur is not trying to groom her. her concern seems genuine. 

{Sybil text} Are you with any of our other brothers? They are, they have such a limited view of the world. I do not think he is trying to groom her, our brother does not do that.

simon-kowalski‌:

Simon’s spine stiffened as soon as he heard the other’s words. He’d pieced together from snatches of gossip that she was one of the Dragovics - who he’d known of from his Hunter days and through some of the local townspeoples’ advice to stay far away from.

Of course she would be right here, and so intensely knowledgeable.

“38 years,” he said, looking her right in the eye. He wasn’t defiant, but neither did he shrink away, as he was sometimes wont to do. “And last night.” He exhaled, pushing out the unnecessary air from his lungs. “What’s it to you?” he asked, stirrings of courage and old alliances emboldening and framing the fear he felt otherwise.

The young vampire’s attitude changed from fearsome and nervous to one of annoyance and defiance. Sybil frowned at him and felt her patience thinning. Was he really going to give her an attitude when she was trying to keep him under control? If he tested her and crossed her, she would snap his neck to knock him out or perhaps allow him to attack everyone. Let them deal with the monster on their own. 

“You have been a vampire for 38 years?” Sybil asked, raising a dark eyebrow at him. That seemed unlikely for how little control he had. “First off, do not cross me. You will show me the respect I deserve.” She would not tolerate this behavior from her own kind, especially a vampire so young. “I do not care to watch you lose control and throw yourself at the nearest body. I have enough to deal with besides you causing a panic by falling victim to a feeding frenzy.”

So, the storm had exactly the opposite conclusion that Sybil had expected. Of course she had been paranoid and saw enemies in the actions of the storm. It was not a far leap to assume that someone was working against her family with Loukios’ actions since his arrival into the town of East End. He had killed people and she knew from the times she had raged war against others that deaths never went unanswered. However, she had assumed a powerful traveler or even a coven of them was responsible for this. She and her siblings had used travelers in the past to do their bidding. But, the true culprit behind the storm was not one she would have seen coming. Naiads? Sybil Dragović was not a woman who was usually completely surprised. This was one of the few times however. The existence of naiads had been a true shock to her and her siblings. All of them had assumed that the creatures did not exist. After all, there had been no sign of them and they had roamed the Earth for over a thousand years. How did a whole species escape their notice for that long? 

Sybil knew that Arthur would come by sooner or later, this was a very concerning matter for them all. She caught his scent before she heard him approach her from behind. Sybil’s brand new home was a complete and utter mess, rain, water, tree branches and debris had destroyed the recently obtained mansion. So, one of the first things she did was compel a whole team of contractors to get to work on fixing her home once more. She stood in the gallery, sorting through paintings and setting aside the ones that had been ruined beyond hope. “You know, I always enjoyed this one.” Sybil spoke, her gaze moving over a ruined painting Arthur had once done of a clearing that resembled the one they grew up in with a grand medieval castle in the background that had not been there, but she always spoke to their power. “We need to talk. I’m glad you came by.”

luke-dragovic‌:

{LUKE} I’m laying low.

{LUKE} Nothing in this town is natural, something is going on and I don’t like it.

{Sybil text} Thank you for being specific, brother. That is helpful. 

{Sybil text} Do you know anyone who has the ability to create this storm?

valerie-shaw:

It was a surprise to see an Original around, Valerie had to admit that. It was natural to put all the blame on her family for this whole disaster, given the threats one of them had made not all that long ago. The hunter frowned, leaning against the wall as she merely glanced over at the other, only to end up focusing back on the storm that was raging outside. Despite being here, she still couldn’t put any trust on her kind. “Oh, you’re feeling generous? How very kind of you.” She said sarcastically. No one was stupid enough to start a fight in a space like this. “Stay silent, and there won’t be a damn problem.”

Sybil knew what those people on the lower level were saying of her and her siblings. They thought they were responsible for this storm. But the thing was that this was not their doing. Sybil was just as on edge as everyone else, but more so than others because she feared this was a move against her siblings for Loukios’ activity before her arrival. Sybil had bigger things to worry about and she needed the peace and quiet to think of how to handle this. Travelers had to be responsible for this, there had to be someone working against them. She started to pace and pinch her nose but when the woman spoke once more, Sybil turned to face her. “You would be wise to not make me more annoyed than I am. “Do you really want to pick a fight with me?”

simon-kowalski:

Simon was tapping at his phone screen when it happened - his texts to Ava were no longer going through, and he was becoming frustrated. What if his friend did something bad and lost control? What if he did? The two of them were gas-soaked rags in a fire in their respective shelters. At least speaking to someone with the same problem made him feel less alone, perhaps have a modicum more of vital self control.

But then the actual fire happened - Simon noticed it too late, as he was focused only on his own misfortune. It happened in an instant , and then all of a sudden there was a fire. Someone else was surrounded by the flames that quickly spread, and Simon moved to grab them by the back of their jacket and jerk them back. Meanwhile, he heard a sound of frustration from behind him, and he turned. The scent of blood almost sent his head spinning, but there was no way he could let that get the better of him now.

“What do you need help with?” He asked, trying not to sound as panicked as he felt.

There may be some people who would deny that she would even help. Or that she even did. Though she found most people annoying in this situation when she was trapped and she knew this was no ordinary storm, Sybil was not heartless. No matter what her reputation may be, Sybil was not a monster. Of course not many knew or even believed that. So when the fire broke out, Sybil was one of the first to rush forward and try to put it out. The fire would not hurt her, she would heal any burns she received and she knew that many would not be able to. 

With the fire finally put out, only a few people were burnt but there was still a rising tension and people were starting to freak out. It was grating on her and she half thought about compelling everyone in the clock tower to calm down. As the scent of blood hit the air, Sybil hardly reacted. She had over a thousand years of control on her side. But, she noticed the behavior of one man. Sybil knew that behavior, she knew the signs of a young vampire who was hungry. Swiftly, she waked over to him and pulled him to the side. “How old are you? When is the last time you fed?” There was no prelude, she knew what he was.

Sybil 📲 Catalina

catalinaxxvi:

catalina: you know how hard it is for me to to remain optimistic. 

catalina: no, forgive me. i shouldn’t have spoken to you that way. i wanted to run and find arthur, but now there is no way. connection is bad. yes, his human i guess. she seems nice.

{Sybil text} I know. But you know how I refuse to give up. You will be fine. 

{Sybil text} You are fine. I shouldn’t have told you that you were strong then tell you to run to our brother. You are strong though. I know, I can not run either. I am stuck. She seems nice. And naive.

andersxlucero:

Anders was glad he’d gotten out of the storm before things had gotten worse. However, worse could be now. He didn’t expect a vampire to come out of nowhere, and honestly, to Anders, she wasn’t even one of the important ones. His back hit the wall before he knew what else was going on, flinching from the pain that shot up his spine. He glared daggers at the vampire that was about to choke the life out of him. He couldn’t speak with her hand around his neck, so he gave a nod instead, fixing his jacket the minute he could breathe again, “Bloody fucking hell. I don’t know what’s going on,” he hissed back at her, flexing his hand to try and make sure nothing was broken. He didn’t want to be thrown around by a vampire, “It’s not anything I’ve ever seen before.”

Sybil knew she was squeezing him too hard, that he could barely speak with the way her hand was squeezing around his neck. But, her anger was too overpowering at the moment. When he nodded she released, but still the anger and fire burned in her gaze. “Do no speak lies to me traveler!” She hissed, not in the mood in the least bit. Her hand moved back, gesturing to the crazy storm around her. “This is not anything I have seen before either. You know as well as I do that this storm is not natural. A traveler or a coven created and conjured this up.” Sybil was not falling for his ignorant act. He was a traveler, he had to have some idea. “What coven do you belong to?”

Sybil 📲 Catalina

[sybildragovic]

catalinaxxvi:

catalina: i’m glad you are here too. if things go wrong — please know i love you very much.

catalina: i can protect myself. you said before, i’m a dragović, no ? i don’t need him to help me. i’m not a child. besides, i have to protect winona for arthur.

{Sybil text} Do not say things like that. You will be fine. Just be careful. I do not like this storm. I suspect the worst. 

{Sybil text} You are right. I am sorry. I just worry for you. I hate that I can not get to you. You are right, you are strong and can protect yourself. Winona? You found Arthur’s human?

trippblais:

“I suggest getting your head outta your ass,” he stated with little hesitation to the individual he was speaking. Neither her surname or her inability to be killed hindered the words from sliding over his tongue. Tripp wasn’t exactly a man to back down, regardless of the fight. “It’s a fucking clocktower, people are bound to get close.”

Sybil turned slowly to look over the man who had dared to speak to her like that. Was he aware of who she was or was he simply unaware of the supernatural around him? Either way, Sybil counted that behavior as unacceptable. She took a step forward, her eyes narrowing. “I suggest you either apologize for that behavior or learn not to do such again.” She spoke slowly. 

[sybildragovic]

Sybil 📲 Catalina

[sybildragovic]

catalinaxxvi:

catalina: thank you. at least we have each other, yes ? i agree, our eldest could’ve bided his time. but you know how impulsive men are.

catalina: i have not spoken with him yet and i do not wish to. i hope we survive. i hope you survive, sybil. 

{Sybil text} Yes, I’m very grateful I know where you are sister and that you are with our brothers. They will look out for you. Yes, I’m very well aware of the shortcomings of men. I’m glad you are here, Cat. 

{Sybil text} If things get worse, stay near him. Do you hear me? Loukios will keep you safe. Our brothers will look after each other. I’ll survive. You know I always survive whatever situation.

mckenleyxupchurch:

“Of course you would say that.” He quipped back. Tone not at once believing an alternative. There was always that animosity that would linger. Werewolves vs Vampires, they were each own’s sworn enemy. Aside from different pack rivalries, there was always that hatred or dislike. Kenley – would never not for the Dragovics after the stunt that was pulled against one of his own. The man would hold that grudge til the day he was six feet under. “You can cut the whole innocent act, I’m not buying it.” The male was quick to suggest and add. “I’m sure with being so damn old, you’re used to getting blamed. Not like you care anyways – so, lets’ cut the theatrics for someone who sees the good in evil.”

Was he being completely serious? “They say that humanity has grown smarter as a whole, but I truly do not see the difference between your ignorance and the same ignorance when I was young. Tell me, do you also believe you must drill a hole in your head to release the demons to relieve your headache?” She scoffed at the werewolf. The whole werewolves versus vampires amnosity had always been humorless and senseless to her. Sybil’s siblings and herself had started off as wolves after all. Something flickered across Sybil’s features, but the emotion was too quick for someone to catch. “Of course I am used to being blamed for the actions of my brothers or even for some supposed slight - like right now. I have heard what Loukios did upon his arrival. But even your less than impressive mind should be able to recall that I was not there.” She smirked then, let him think her a monster. She would show him a monster if he crossed her. But for right now, she simply did not care. Let it be another one to see the worst in her. “Tell me, what do you really know of us?”
