A Rude Awakening (Sariel/Renfield)
|
His heart had not been filled with such rage sense the 1400s! Sariel had NEVER been subdued by anyone much less humans! Mere humans with...something. They had strange gadgets and they were too fast and too knowledgeable. They had covered him in silver chains after somehow discovering his resting place. THEN they had dragged him by them literally. DRAGGED HIM!

The vampire wiped his mouth as he left the headquarters of The Grey Cardinals and attempted to straighten his garments to cover the burns in his wrists and ankles. Those on his waist and upper thighs as well as on his chest were not visible but smarted and burned all the same. They appeared to be taking their time to heal too. Cursing and growling under his breath in several languages he headed out into the busy eara of downtown London seeking the little man whom the man and woman holding him in chains demanded he take in hand.

A servant?! He needed no servant, and trusted no one in his personal affairs. Besides humans were weak and frail things. He preferred magical servants or those weaker vampires who feared what he could and would do to them if angered. This lot had given him no choice, however, and they hinted that he may have his revenge on the Tepes house if he played along so for now, until he discovered the perfect opportunity to tear out their throats and sup gleefully on their blood for what they had done to him, he would play along if reluctantly.

When he reached the man's house he pounded on the door angrily, knowing that he would likely be invited in out of shock so he'd not have to bother playing nice. This was a good thing as he currently lacked the self control for it. He had to pound for half a minute too long in his opinion, before the little man appeared, peering out of the door sleepily, short white blonde hair disheveled. The black eyes that regarded Sariel were sleepy yet alert.
?
"Yes? What ever do you want at this hour?"
?
"From what I'm told it's more a matter of what you want," Sariel replied in a near growl.
?
?
?
"Life, isn't it? Now let me in if you'd like to discuss the matter further."
?
?
?
And? it was as simple as that...As simple as giving candy to a baby. The door opened and Sariel was invited in.

I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed.
I get along with the voices inside of my head.
