On the Hunt (Deran)

[Rigoletto Carillon-Dra]

Rigoletto was on the hunt for Deran he knew he had already found him once & they had spoken before he left him but, he knew that things where different now. He knew that he had to do this to show Jamie or more to prove that he held her life & his sons above others.

He also knew that to kill Deran might but, him on the receiving end of some if not many vampires that felt ties to the family but, he would become a so called target, he would give it all up if but, to show Jamie that she could trust him again.

As he walked he drew the hood of his cloak up to hid his face, he did not miss the smell of rain as it approached but, he was going to find Deran & deal with him, how ever Jamie decided he should be delta with.

[Deran L Kieler]

Deran had finally regained most of his strength from an old horse that was being put down. The blood was old and lifeless, but it would allow him more time until he could go back and get the necessary supplies to make some new pills.

Deran walked with his hood down, shrouding his face, the rain feeling cool and welcoming against his skin. Deran had been wandering for a long time, he observed the people he passed, wondering what had led them to where they were now. Deran had never really believed in fortune or fate, but he had begun to wonder what he had done to recieve such bad tiddings.

Deran knew he had to go apologize to Jamie, but his body and soul were tired. He couldn't bare to be in contact with anyone, and the fear of having to converse with someone weighed like a heavy burden on his chest. Deran wanted to be alone, but at the same time he wished dearly that he could tell someone, share all his memories so that his famies lives would remain in this world...even if it was in the form of passing thoughts.

Rigoletto had fallowed the sent of Deran, as he did he picked up the smell of blood it was old but, he soon learned it was a horse drained of blood. Deran must of feed meaning he would have some strength but, Rigoletto pushed the though away as he fallowed after Deran.

He would end this so called masqueraded, the only thing was what would be the out come he knew there was a chance he would be wounded, because of what he had planed but, he would do it.

The rain had started to fall & Rigoletto drew his cloak closer as he keeps on the move, to insure that Deran would not get away. Though it had come to him that this would be a bit odd, to have come looking for Deran again & this time thinks where going to be different then before but, he did not know how Deran would see this or take it when he found him.

[Deran L Kieler]

Deran had sat down on a bench which was obscured by shadows. He had his fill of observing people walking by, and now was the time that he wanted to rest, more for peace of mind. The rain had begun to fall harder and it soaked through his cloak, seeing how he was not carrying an umbrella.

Deran fingered the metal brace around his right hand, the metal growing hot as it had over 200 years ago when his family was murdered. He remembered how it was pouring, like this, when the incident happened, and how his father told him it was from the rain that the brace grew warm as if to keep the owner comfortable. Deran sighed as his memories flashed before him. In the back of his mind he thought it strange that it would be raining this hard again, the first since he had come back.

[Rigoletto Carillon-Dra]

Rigoletto had been out looking for Deran for some time & finally found him seated on a bench. His eyes flickered on how to deal with him attack him & bring him in or speak with him before doing so, his mind pounded with what of the two was more fitting, he growled low figuring he would give some form of warning incase he did snap form what was to come. The hood of his cloak was even lower now; the rain ran off the cloak & feel to the ground to pool with the rest of the rain that was fallowing.

He had flicked as spell to keep the rain form going threw his cloak as he watched Deran, ready to attack if need be he spoke quickly “Your time has come Deran, with or with out your wants Jamie wants you brought in & I will do it” Rigolettos eyes flickered “Even if it means I have to fight you to make it happen, the only option to you is if you will fight or come on your own” Rigoletto growled again as he waited for Deran words he was ready to move in a moment, to fight or keep Deran form getting away normally he would of jumped his prey but, he wanted to prove that in the end he was a man of his word that he would keep with the old ways when he faced Deran.

[Deran L Kieler]

Deran had sensed Rigoletto's prescence as he stood next to the bench Deran was sitting on. He also noted the growl and in the back of his mind the burning on his right wrist increased. Deran looked down at the ground, wondering what on earth it all could mean.

Deran did not look up at Rigoletto's words. He made no movement for a while, his body like a stone which would sit on top of a gravestone. He quickly thought about how he should have never came here, to this cursed place. He couldn't believe that he was going to be slaughtered like a lamb at a woman's expense and an old accquantince, instead of being killed by those who had murdered his family 200 years ago. Deran wondered in the back of his mind if it really had to come to this.

Deran spoke softly and slowly, his body not moving as he spoke. "Where do you want me to go?" Deran was at first going to ask why Rigoletto wouldn't just kill him right there, but he assumed it was because Jamie wanted to see him die. Deran sent a tiny prayer up to the heavens, that if he did die that the world wouldn't be as cruel for anyone else.

[Rigoletto Carillon-Dra]

Rigoletto had watched Deran, he could almost since the mans distress over all this even after Rigoletto’s words he meant them. He did not see Deran as a treat but, he could not change Jamie’s mind when it came to it, so this left with little choose that Rigoletto would be bringing him in & if need be spill the blood of one he was sure was incessant. Something he knew to do would only darken his own soul to a place worse then heck but, he knew it would be more a heck to never be able to see his son.

The rain keep coming down with the light flashing over the sky at times & the rumble of thunder to be heard as well, with Deran’s words he looked at him “You will come with me back to my home, where Jamie is waiting. I do not know how far things will go & I do not take pleaser at these events ether Deran.. Perhaps once you are there & get a chance to speak with Jamie it will not all be as bad as it sounds” But, he was unsure how likely that was he knew that it had taken him, a great deal of time to get Jamie to treats him as she did now & even that was questioned at times.

[Deran L Kieler]

Deran stood up slowly, his hands hanging at his sides. He looked at Rigoletto, his eyes full of saddness. "How do you want me to go? Do you plan to bind me or will we walk?" Deran cocked his head waiting for Rigoletto's answer.

At his other words he smilled slightly. "Jamie is like the monarch and you are the executioner bringing the lamb to the chopping block which is placed at the Queen's feet. I will do as you both want, though I feel that this is more of her doing than yours...at least I hope." Deran looked down at the ground, his wet cloak sticking to his body. The bracelet began to steam from the shocking heat touching the cold rain as it thunderstormed.

[Rigoletto Carillon-Dra]

Rigoletto watched Deran rise from his seat, he did not miss the tone his body gave off or that if it was him he would not feel the same way, for he had gone threw much the same thing before hand though he had walked away with his life then. With Deran words he looked at him “We will walk, I will only bind you if you leave me not choose”

Rigoletto did not miss Deran’s words & he spoke “I do what I feel I must & in a way I suppose your words hold truth but, as I said Jamie does not take things lightly & when it comes to are son she is worse then anything one this earth, how ever you should be glade that it was I that came for you for Jamie wanted to & I can say with out much though that things would of gone much worse for you had she come in place of my self”

“I think she feels you more a treat now because, she though you weak when you first meet & you appered to want to harm are son, something that as I said before does not set well with her at all or that is how I understand it”

[Deran L Kieler]

Deran merely nodded his head and looked at Rigoletto, waiting for direction. "You'll have to show me where to go." Deran hadn't been really paying attention to where he was, and he had no idea where to go to get back to Rigoletto's. Though Deran quickly thought that it was mainly because he probably never wanted to go back there that he subconsciously erased it from his mind.

As to Rigoletto's other words he made no comment. He did not wish to upset them any further. Deran sighed and looked into the distance, he might as well enjoy the walk. His only weapon which was designed only to kill himself pressed into his back. Only, when he was dying would he use it, but then again would killing himself just send him to a worse place?

Deran furrowed his brow as he thought about which way to die...as an innocent person murdered by others or by killing himself, would get him the best result in perserving his families honor. Deran decided to not use the knife...his family after all were murdered and they too were innocent, then at least they would have all died the same way and could be together in whatever was in store after death.

[Rigoletto Carillon-Dra]

Rigoletto heard Deran words he looked at him before he spoke “Very well” But, he was not about to let his guard down with Deran by leaving his back so open & he spoke “I will tell you & show you but, I will still be watching you” He could not help but, not like to give his back to any one on such a matter he would point Deran in the right direction.

“Lets go” He graded Deran shoulder before leading him in the direction but, his grasp was not crushing but, it did show he would not take anything form him.
