``Oh Holy Night~ ALL MEMBERS WELCOME!

[*~Noelle Marie Stryder]

Noelle Stryder;

Noelle sighed, driving down the main streets that lead out of Russia in her pitch black Jetta. Her icy blue eyes focused on the snow dampened roads. The sky was gray, the clouds covering everthing in the heavens this early 6:30 morning. Noelle sighed again, tapping her pale fingers on the weel impatiently. She really hated long drives but she did promise Lilith Night that she'd be at this Christmas party. Noelle stopped at an intersection, letting a bunch of deer cross by. She took this moment to fix herself in the rear-view mirror and to look down at her dress. Her hair was pinned up beautifuly, her black hair curled tightly and held up by icy blue and sterling silver pins. Her dress was a bit glittery, and made her pale skin look amazing. Once the intersection was cleared, Noelle drove forward at a good 90 mph.

"Why are we going to the death pit again?" asked Cody, who had been sitting by her in the passenger seat-- mostly silent all this drive. His 12 year old body fit in a black suit and red tie Noelle stole from a Macy's.
"Lilith, wants us there..." Noelle said, driving through China now.
"That infected Queen is just gonna use us for Chirstmas Dinner!" Cody argued, angerly.
Noelle sighed, "Cody, that's why I brought my guns. It looks like we can trust her... And if we can't then I'll--"
"Blow off her Infected head like a brocken water balloon?"
Noelle glanced at him-- her blue eyes narrowed, "Kill them, yes."
Cody mumbled to himself, turning up the radio so Noelle couldn't hear him curse. Waking the Demon by Bullet for My Valentine blasted in the Jetta. Noelle glared at Cody again and turned the radio down a bit.

After thirty more minutes, Noelle parked her car infront of the large Mansion Lilith gave her directions to. She paused for a moment before she would get out the car. She was actually having second thoughts about this. Cody and herself were going to be the only non-infected humans here. And Noelle remembered the look on that Dominic guy's face when he could smell her blood. She bit her lip, noting how Cody was staring at her. Noelle shook her head and equipted her gun on her thigh under her dress, "You equip that knife like I told you too?" Noelle asked.
Cody glared at her, "Yeah, but why can't I get a gun?"
Noelle got out of the car, "Cause you almost shot Roxas..." she slamed the door once she finished and started walking toward the mansion, Cody quickly followed behind her-- taking her hand like the little boy he was, "I still don't like this..." Cody said.
Noelle knocked on the door and sighed, "Neither do I. But we're Stryder's-- we can handle this... Besides, I wouldn't bring you here if I knew i couldn't protect you right?"
Cody nodded, "Right... I love you Noelle."
Noelle looked at her brother and smiled, "We're not gonna die."
Cody brushed a hand through his curly brown hair, "Just figured I'd get it out before it's too late..."
Noelle held her breath for a second then looked away from Cody's worried glance, "I love you too."

`` Dominic Tucker

`` Scarlett and Delilah Tucker

Dominic had been on the door. His daughter and sister stayed beside him. He wore a Black vest and a purple shirt with white strips. His pants, blackish grey dress pants. His sister and daughter wore their hair the same, and his sister wore a light pink dress and his daughter in a greenish blue dress with butterflies and flowers. He had in his hands a guest list. His nose filled with the scent of a human, that girl, Noelle. He looked at the list, yep Lilith knew this lady. shit he mumbbled. His sister and daughter looked at him, he mumbbled sorry. He knew how his sister and daughter didn't like his choice of words. Sighing he opened the door. He knew Lilith would want him to guide Miss Noelle and Mr. Cody. He bowed slightly.
"Well Come to Miss Lilith Night's Mason, I am Dominic Lucifer Remus Tucker and this is Scarlett and Delilah Tucker my sister and daughter. Please follow me." He told them, holding his arm out for their coats. He knew that Lilith would want him to respect them as much as her.

[Nicolii Hunt Proctor]

I'll take you high above the sky, Love you 'til you die.

[/color]
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nicolii watched Dominic Tucker step outside to escort Noelle and Cody from the floor to ceiling window he had been standing by for some time now. His red eyes shifted, watching the two girls follow him outside, his heart sturck by a slight pang of...envy? Nicolii had always wanted a little daughter to care for, but hadn't had time to settle before his change. And he hated being Infected, so he didn't want to have to bring children into the world already infected with this defect. So he'd settled on having no children, but he still always had a small want for some. He sighed and turned away, heading towards the larger portion of the ballroom. He wore a classic tux of black, and a silver tie. His hands were folded behind his back as he walked rather absentmindedly about the room. Nicolii wasn't much of one for parties and large crowds. He'd always felt the large portion of awkwardness and alienation in the group.

Nicolii was smart. And maybe he'd only get along with Hosts when having a conversation, but even then, there weren't many hosts, even yet. So he'd always just stay alert and watchful from the corner of the room. But that doesn't mean the least bit that Nicolii didn't talk when talked to. If someone wanted to talk, he'd more then oblige. But, that was rare. Not many people just up and talked to Nicolii just for the cause. And if they did, Nicolii almost handed them respect for it. He must just look intimidating or something. Who knows.

He picked up a small glass and filled it with the punch provided for any Human's who may have dared to come or were invited. Like Noelle and Cody. He sipped the sweet nectar and sighed. It tasted wrong compared to his dominant diet of blood and meat. But it was alluring, so he continued to sip occasionally on the human drink.

His eyes wandered back outside to Noelle and Cody. It was odd that the Infected had taken to them nicely. The other male Infected seemed attracted to her scent. Nicolii wasn't so much attracted by it, but more so curious. Every human had a scent. And almost every scent was different. Noelle and Cody smelled the same to him. And that scent was different then the rest he'd smelt so far. And he wondered why, was his only interest in Noelle. Besides. He probably wasn't her type. Or vise versa.

His attention went back to the drink in his hand as he swirled it around in the glass. This party would be interesting, if nothing else. But he hoped it'd be something different from his normal routine. Little did he know, it'd be one hell of a party a few hours later that night. When Lyra would come crash this damn party.[/center]

[*~Noelle Marie Stryder]

Noelle Stryder;

Noelle could feel her heart stop beating when Dominic answered the door. She held her breath and attempted a polite smile. Good thing she was a wonderious actress or she would of never pulled it off. Instead of meeting Dominic's eyes, she glanced at the two adorable children by his legs. She gave a real smile to them-- they were just so cute, she couldn't denie them a smile. It seemed that Cody had caught an interest for the older child of the two-- Scarlet?

Cody then changed his focus from the girl to the inside of the mansion. The look on his face was obviously hateful when he noted how Domonic stared at Noelle. He watched Noelle gently take her coat off and slip his off his shoulders. She gave another smile and handed the jackets to Dominic in a blissful way. Cody snorted, Trying to be polite Noelle? You know you'll be blasting that dude's head off before dinner....

Noelle and Cody walked behind Dominic, being taken more inside of the mansion. Noelle admired the beauty of the mansion. She was expecting it to look horrible-- all with what she heard the Infected were like. Lack of human skills and such. Noelle glanced at Dominic and decided to start small talk, be polite, "The mansion looks lovely." she said softly in a slightly thick Russian accent.

Cody nudged Noelle suddenly, glaring at some guy by the punch bowl. Noelle looked at him in a very descrete way, trying to make it look like she was still listening to Dominic. "Get your guns ready," Cody whispered.
Noelle gave a look, "Why?"
Cody's eyes narrowed more, eximining the man that stared at his sister, "That guys looking at you..."
Noelle looked over to where Cody's eyes were. There she saw a man that was indeed watching her for a breif moment then back to his drink. Her head tilted to the side in confusion.
"Way to get us killed, Noelle." Cody muttered hatefully.
Noelle glared at him, "We're not going to die..."

Jasper Daiz;

((Ok, we're gonna have an order with this since there is only a few of us: Noelle, Dominic, Nicolii, Jasper, Lilith, Lyra (where ever she comes in)))

Jasper walked into the ballroom with the usual grace he had. His lean body dressed in a black suit and black-- red tinted-- tie. In his hand there was a wine glass. And if you knew Jasper, the blood of Lust was obviously in it. Jasper didn't know why, but he loved the taste of one's blood that experienced lust.

His bloody red eyes glanced around. There was that Host Wanderer, Nicolii. And that Hunting Wanderer, Dominic with his blasted little girls. Jasper growled. Dominic knew he was a monster-- yet his dumbass insisted on bringing his damned daughter here? How smart of you. Jasper sighed and looked around more. There was no Isabella-- er... Lilith. Yes, Isabella was at the Protection Center. No.. she wasn't here. LILITH was here... and looked so fucking much like Isabella he almost wanted to kill Lilith for having simular genetics. Jasper sighed again and looked around the room some more.

A strong scent wirrled to his nose. Jasper went to immediate attention and looked around curiously. His eyes focused on a small boy-- possibly 10.. or alittle older like 12. That kid wasn't much. Jasper simply noted that the boy had dark brown-- nearly black-- curly hair and reminded him of his dead son, Raymond. Next to the boy was a taller human-- a female. Jasper eyed her with curisoity. She looked 16, maybe a bit older. Jasper had to admit she was pretty cute. Her black silky hair looked to be like it was usualy straight rather than those pin curls she had it in now. The scent wirrled to him again... making him very thirsty.

Jasper walked over to Nicolii, not trying to move to quickly. He stood next to him and again eyed the black haired girl. It was now that he wondered why Lilith invited humans here. Where these children Lilith told him about? Noelle and Cody Stryder? Jasper looked at Nicolii and cleared his throat, "I know I'm not the only one smelling that blood. But is it comming from the girl?" it wasn't exactly obivous that the scent was comming from Noelle. Mostly because Cody was of the same blood-- slightly different, and he was also standing very close to her. Cody was also glaring at Nicolii. This made Jasper ask another question, "Nicolii that boy is staring at you... you think he knows your looking at the girl?" he chuckled slightly. The little boy was trying to protect his OLDER sister-- how cute.

[*~Lilith Night]

Scarlet smelt them, Noelle and Cody. She walked in waer but a eligent red corset dress. In her hand a black glass, filled with blood. She looked around, her eyes landed on Cody and Noelle, she smiled widly. Walking in a swift pace she walked up to them.
"Jasper, Nicolii, Dominic. This is my guests Noelle and Cody please make sure no of the others touch them please. I know their sent is....well delious....but you must keep them safe." Scarlet told her men. She looked at Jasper.
"Jasper, follow me." She told him walking towards the drinks, where she could smell the different drinks.
"Jasper I trust you the most to make sure no one Touches them." She told him, her voice filled with regret, she didn't want them to get killed and well Jasper is the only one she could trust.

[*Jasper Rai Daiz]

Jasper Daiz;

(Noelle had nothing to post so I'll just skip xD)

Jasper looked at Lilith, listening to her short announcement. So the humans were those Stryder kids she was talking about. Stryder-- that same sounded fimular to him. Jasper tried to think back-- his mind settled on a dim memory of the family picture he took with Isabella and their son Raymond. Their photographer's name was Sophia Stryder. Jasper glanced at Noelle-- ah. there was the resemblence. Noelle looked like a failry younger version of Sophia. he wondered what happened to the Stryder Children's parents. Were they infected? Where they killed? It made him very curious. More than he usualy is.

Jasper nodded a goodbye to Nicolii and walked with Lilith to wherever she wanted him to follow her. She told him that he was her most trusted-- and that she was counting on him not to get Noelle and Cody killed. Japser made a face, "My Queen, you cannot expect ME not to kill something so tasteful. I haven't even stood within a few feet of that Noelle girl and I'm already in process of wanting to attack her now." he glanced at Noelle with a longing look on his face-- a look of hunger. "I'm pretty sure Nicolii gotten the scent as well. And don't even get me started on Dominic, he's going mad over her."

He bit his lip. He knew he shouldn't talk to his Queen this way but let's be truthful here. You honestly DO NOT have a Hunter-- and a fairly good one at that-- No, a Hunter that smells blood 24-7 and kills whatevers in sight... You just don't have him protect something that smells too damn good. Noelle had a sweet scent. Not like her brother who only held some of that sweetness. Cody was like... Just sugar. Noelle on the other hand was like those Candy lands you hear about in fairytales. There was no way Jasper could stand a second standing by her. Much less at the distance he was at right now. Jasper noted the look on Lilith's face and he sighed, "Alright, alright, fine. I'll try but if she-- erm... they get killed-- I'll be the one to say I told you so."

Days with going insane: ZERO~

[Lyra Vladmira Okyrir]

Nicolii turned his attention back to Noelle as Lillith spoke with Jasper. Of course he could hear everything they were saying, he chose to ignore them for the most part. Lillith trusted Jasper. Jasper doubted his ability to not eat Noelle. And poor Noelle and her brother were easy dinner if any of the Infected decided to attack. It was a no win situation, it seemed. However, unlike most of the Infected, Nicolii had grown used to the smell of humans. It was job enough for Nicolii that he go out and select humans to kill. Sure, Noelle smelt wonderful, but his hunger had long been quenched by blod. He could live with human food, though not his favorite. He could protect Noelle easy enough as it was. Plus, his intense curiousity in her scent overwhelmed his want to eat her. So far, any way.

With a side step so that he was in whispering range of Lillith and Jasper, Nicolii smiled and looked at his Queen. "M'lady. I do believe that if Jasper does not feel up to it to protect your guests, I wouldn't mind taking his job. Though hard, I somewhat find it fun to ignore her scent. I would like to learn from her as well. If I may, I would like to request it, infact, that I protect her." he commented. Sure, normally he wouldn't bother with it, or try to second thought his Queen on her decisions, but Nicolii really wanted to do this.

He glanced back at Noelle and Cody, red eyes searching them for fear. It was all over Cody, but Noelle just seemed...aware. Or dim-witted about how much danger she was. In that case, Cody was the smart one. But here, if Nicolii could protect them, they would be in alot less danger. He glanced back at Lillith and smiled. "Think it over?"

With that said, Nicolii made the decision to speak with the humans. He smiled politely and nodded his head in respect before he turned to Cody. "Hey Kid. Cody, is it?" he chuckled. "Just so you know, every infected in this room just about can hear you. But no worries, I don't think either of you need to worry here. No one would dare defy Lillith's orders. Myself included." he smiled. "But if it makes you feel tough, go ahead and have guns ready. I don't think you'll need them."

God the sweet scent was almost unbearable here. To keep his mind off it, however, he tussled Cody's hair and looked at Noelle. "I'm Nicolii. Nicolii Hunt Proctor." he held out his hand for her to shake, though he could assume now that she would be hesitant to shake it. But an offer of warm welcome could only help the situation. Nothing like an Infected, cannibalistic man watching you from the corner to freak someone out. Nicolii didn't want that.

``Dominic L.R Tucker

Dominic walked around, keeping an eye on Noelle and her brother. He went to get a drink, he looked at the different drinks. Spotting nothing he wanted, he walked over to Nicolii, Noelle and Cody. His sister, Scarlett, watched Cody.
"Ello Nicolii, Noelle, Cody. How are you all?" He questioned them, in a cerious tone. His sister, smiled slightly at Cody, her cheeks going a bit pink. Dee had went to bed. His eyes looked around, all of the Infected watched them.
"Okay everyone dosen't need to be watching." He growled lightly. A warning. He glared at every infected, except Nicolii, Jasper, and Lilith. He watched as each of Lilith's people looked away going back to their own business. Scarlett's small voice then asked Cody if he would like to hang out. Dominic watched his sister closely. He never really let his sister or daught out sight. It made him nervous and unsure.
"Dominic, can me amd Cody hang out? Please?" Scarlett questioned him, he blinked a few times then nodded, mumbbling a yes. She smiled. He looked at Noelle, hoping that she trusted Scarlett. Scarlett would never hurt anyone.

``You Won't Forget Me

[*~Noelle Marie Stryder]

Noelle Stryder;

Noelle looked at Nicolii, her russian features looking a bit confused. This was the first time she'd seen so many Infected NOT want to kill a human. And an easy target at that. Her blue eyes looked at Jasper. She seemed a bit smarter than the Infected's Queen. Noelle had encountered many Hunters before. And Jasper was right-- Hunters were born killers. It would be unwise to have a hunter of all people protect something they normally kill.

Cody was looking at Nicolii, not exactly paying attention to the mans words. Somehow Cody could tell that Nicolii must of thought Noelle to be stupid to bring them here as an easy target. He hid behind her more, "Don't try anything stupid dude. Noelle's got a gun that'll blast your head off!"
Noelle gasped, turning slightly to look at her brother, "Quiet!" she scolded him, looking back at Nicolii. Her eyes sweet and caring-- obviously not for him but on her brother's behalf.

"I'm sorry," she said softly, "It's nothing personal-- the gun. I still have to protect him. Bringing a gun was just the easiest thing I could use to protect him. You understand that don't you?"

Noelle didn't seem like the killing type. She was much too sweet-- and fragle looking. Like a butterfly. Obviously she didn't mean any harm-- however she would surly blast heads off like her brother said if the situation demanded it...

Cody focused his attention to Dominic and his sister-- a girl about his age. He smiled at her shyly and looked at Noelle-- who was looking at Dominic. Noelle sighed lightly, she wasn't sure if she should let Cody out of her sight. She bit her lip slightly and smiled at Cody, "Go ahead and talk with Scarlet, Cody."
Cody looked at her-- completely stunned.
Noelle rolled her eyes and leaned down to her knees, at Cody's height, "Stay where I can see you... Understand?"
Cody nodded and turned to Scarlet, "Let's go.."

[*Jasper Rai Daiz]

(nevermind-- don't use the order. I don't want this thread to die and it's dying. So just forget the order. Okay?)

[Nicolii Hunt Proctor]

Ooc/ I'll reply but I can't say it'll be a really good post at all.

Bic.


Nicolii's lip twitched in reply to Cody's first threat. A gun? Well of course. It was stupid to be without one nowadays. His glance turned to Noelle, confusing lit his face. She seems so fragile and innocent. Yet it seemed she was accustomed to killing people none the less. It worried him that she had to fight danger for not only herself but for Cody as well. He sighed and forced his gaze back on Cody. "Well, if for some reason I lose my cool and try to kill either of you, I hope she does follow through with that threat of yours." And if she didn't, he certainly would. The thought of hurting her bothered him immensely.

He straightened up to his full height, a several good inches taller then Noelle. "And I understand completely the need for your gun. I carry one myself, and I'm the danger here. I still fear for my life too." he confided softly, a shrug gracing his broad shoulders. He looked back at Lillith, wondering if she was going to tell him yes or no one him being able to protect Noelle and Cody. A curious thought arose in his head and he couldn't help but smile at himself. What did it matter what she said? He would protect Noelle and Cody no matter what she said.


Eden::

Eden tore her gaze from Noelle and Cody, disgust written on her face. She would go over there now and devour them both if it weren't for Nicolii standing beside them. Humans were so pathetic. Sipping on her glass of blood, she locked her gaze now on Jasper and Lillith. Stupid Lillith. It was obvious she was head over heels for Jasper. This love thing wasn't for Eden. Sure, she loved certain things, and was a sucker for men (Though the avid hard-to-get type.) but she was very eluded by the false meaning of it. Her blood red stare then flickered to Dominic and his two hobbits. They hung around him like monkeys. And Dominic wasn't really the type to show and brawns. He seemed the quiet, reclusive type instead. And that was a major turn off.

Eden was alone in this God Forsaken place. Everyone else was so caught up in drama and love. But she. She was free as a bird. And God, she loved it.

[*~Noelle Marie Stryder]

Noelle Stryder;

Noelle stared back at Nicolii, somewhat amazed at his intelligence. he didn't seem to mind that Noelle even had a gun at this gathering. She wasn't sure why it bothered her that he didn't care-- it was a strange feeling. None the less, Noelle gave Nicolii a stiff nod and attempted to ignore him-- mostly because of the glares Cody was giving her. Usually Noelle was the smarter one of the family-- Cody having his rare moments. But right now, Noelle knew that Cody was the smarter... she didn't understand the reason for her mental absence....

Till she realized the man her eyes always focused to...

Nicolii always caught Noelle's attention-- and it seemed to irritate Cody. She didn't actually care-- she was very interested in nicolii. He was... different. Something she wanted to know more about...

"That's understandable..." she said softly, seeming very calm.
Cody made a face, "God..."
Noelle instantly nudged him-- her own irritated with her brother flowing.
Cody continued with his idiotcy, he looked at Noelle and whispered, "Stop starring at him! You're acting like he's Zeke--"
Out of reflex Noelle slapped Cody across the face, anger filling her eyes.

Zeke was Noelle's boyfriend back before Butterfly took flight. however when he got cancer and became one of there monsters, he took no need in protecting Noelle anymore. Infact-- during the night before Noelle had installed the guarding system on the Stryder house-- Zeke took the chance to attack. He almost killed Noelle that night, but she was faster than him...

Cody knew how she felt about Zeke and what had happened.

Cody looked sad-- maybe disapointed with himself as he held a hand on his cheek where Noelle hit him, "I'm... Sorry, Nims..."
Noelle didn't say anything, she just looked away and started scoping out the area for quick exits.

Frozen into Darkness~

[Nicolii Hunt Proctor]

Nicolii turned his somber gaze back to the sibling and watched their display of annoyance. It wouldn't have even occured to him why they were bickering until Cody mutter something about Zeke. It was great, being Infected, because oyu could hear things humans wouldn't think you could. His eyes closed in thought and he sighed. Who was Zeke? And was he a good or bad influence on Noelle and Cody? Good, was what Nicolii could hope, because if she stared at him like Zeke, and Zeke was a bad person, then that reflected badly on how Noelle thought of Nicolii. Does that make any sense? His eyes flickered back open just in time to watch Noelle strike her brother hard across the face.

His mouth dropped. That called for a major What the fuck moment. He watched in horror as Cody recoiled from her glare and apologized. Nicolii swiftly stepped forward and laid a hand on Cody's shoulder, confused eyes locked on Noelle. " It's bad enough, Miss Stryder, that you have threats from us Infected and our lust to devour you, and here you are fighting amongst yourselves. Don't fight, work together. You two are siblings. Aren't you supposed to be best of friends and unsurmountable trust?" he asked, eyes narrowing. "And may I ask, who's Zeke? Is it a bad thing he compared me to Zeke?" his curiosity forced him to ask it. Otherwise, he would have just let it nag him. Immediately recovering into his manners he shook his head. "I mean, only if you want to tell me. You don't have to. Just overheard you talking. It's kind of hard not to with this hearing." he apologized.

Ooc/ Omg-dies- My posts suck lately!

[*~Noelle Marie Stryder]

Noelle Stryder;

Noelle sighed heavily.Don't get her wrong-- she felt horrible form hitting Cody like that. Cody knew she felt bad too.... you'd have to know the siblings relationship to know the truth. Noelle fiddled with her fingers, "I'm sorry Cody..." she whispered.

Cody nodded and hugged her, "I shouldn't of mentioned it..."

Noelle looked at Nicolii and sighed again, "Zeke was my boyfriend two years ago. When he was infected he... tried to protect me..... but lost himself when he knocked me over. Some metal thing sticking out of his house stsbbed me here..." she pointed to the space by her right hip bone.

Cody looked down, like he was mourning what happened. Noelle merely seemed like she couldn't handle the subject, "I'm.. I'm sorry. Can we just not talk about it?" she glanced up at Nicolii with hesitant eyes, somewhat fearful of remembering such a subject.
