Krystal... Naked!?

[Zuki Tamaro]

It was another wonderous day. The sun was bright and there was a nice breeze blowing. Krystal was inside, humming her beautiful tone. She looked for clothing to wear, but she couldn't find anything to wear. She shrugged, thinking it wouldn't be so bad not to wear anything for today.

She walked outside and began humming and held her watering can in one hand. This time, only enough water inside for her to pour in. She began to water the plants, humming.

One person was walking by. He spotted her and widened his eyes. His mouth hung open and he wanted to say something, but something just clicked in his mind. Why not? Barely anyone comes by here. He smirked and walked over to meet her. His teeth gleamed, showing fangs. He quickly hid them by normally smiling.

One thing she didn't know is that there is such things as vampires that walks in light. And this happens to be a vampire. She looked up and smiled. "Hi!"

"You... are naked. Why is that?" He asked in a curious tone. He looked at her breasts. He then wondered what it would be like if he got a good hold of her to drink her blood.

Krystal shrugged. "I couldn't find anything to wear. All of them are dirty. I guess I should of bought more clothes." She sat down the watering can.

The vampire smiled. "You know, it's not good for you to come out, unclothed. People could be coming after you for it."

Krystal tilted her head. "Really? Like who?"

The vampire smirked, but was careful not to reveal his fangs. He walked up to her and wrapped one of his arms around her back. He then led her away from the sidewalk and onto the grass, where she would have to take a longer route towards the exit. "Well, there are certain people that will get aroused around people who are exposed. Some will have a little... other attractions. It shows that you are harmless and don't have any protection. And furthermore, everyone wears clothes. No one wants to see an exposed body, except a lover."

Krystal was suprised to hear this. "I didn't know about that. Thanks for telling me this... Umm... What's your name?"

"Jaques." he replied. "And I'm... A vampire."

"A vampire!?" She said and tried to get away, but her arm was quickly caught.

"Don't flee... I gave you information. I was a little thinking... a bit of blood will be announced?"

Krystal shook her head. "No! That's out of the question! I already am in dept with Constantine to have my blood. I wish not to be drained from you today! How about... some other time?"

The vampire shook his head. "Oh no, my dear. I want it now." Before she could react, he forcefully shoved her against the wall of the house. Krystal screamed for help, hoping someone would hear her. But then, her screaming stopped when she felt pressure upon her neck, like two needles peircing through her skin. She almost stopped breathing when she felt her blood being rushed away.

Jaques felt norishment inside him. The blood tasted unique. It wasn't tainted like any other blood from alcohol and the elven blood added a bonus. Something in her blood seemed to be magical to him. It tasted too good to be true. He just wished he didn't have it all furry in his mouth.

[Kilian]

Intain was walking with Constantine, whom he had started to become friends with, when they heard Krystal scream. Intain immediately went into his leopard form and ran around the back. Constantine followed behind him. Both of them were wondering what was happening.

Intain growled when he saw a vampire hurting Krystal. More than anything, he wished he could roar like all of his bigger cousins, but he still like silence best. Intain leapt onto the vampire’s back, digging his claws into his flesh and biting down on his shoulder. He growled and bit harder. No one had the right to hurt Krystal.

Constantine stopped when he saw three bodies all pressed together. He knew two of them though. The vampire stood like a spire of darkness in the garden. He moved a little closer to Krystal, hoping for a moment when he could pull her out of danger. His job was to protect Zuki and his family. Krystal was part of that family and he was required to protect her too.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Jaques growled in pain. "What the hell!?" He let go of Krystal and reached behind him and grabbed hold of a furry paw. He quickly got off and ran a couple steps back away from the tight group. He breathed heavily, his teeth still dripping with blood on it. "Damn... I thought no one comes back here. I wasn't going to kill her! I gave her information. She needed to pay me back for it!"

Krystal held onto her neck and began to cry. "That was scary." She looked up at Constantine and gasped and backed away. She wondered on what he was doing here too. Was he here for her blood as well? Or did he come to help her? She turned and saw Intain, which comfort her alot. She then knew that Intain was with Constantine.

[Kilian]

~ No one but me would! ~ Intain said, growling and shook his head. ~ She’s my fiancée and you were hurting her! If she owes anyone anything, they come to me for it! ~

Intain held onto Jaques with his front paws and raked at his back with his back legs. He was very angry. He wanted to leave this idiot vampire as a shredded bloody mess in the yard. That way he would later become more useful, as fertilizer.

Constantine hacked away a large piece of his cloak. He cut that piece down again and folded it into a thick pad. He brushed Krystal’s hand away, pressing the cloth against the bite and then wrapped it with the longer piece of his cloak.

“Sorry, but I don’t know how to heal. I don’t have the right magic for it either.” He told her and then glanced over at Intain. “I’ll uh, just go and, uh, get you something to wrap up in.” He said when he noticed that she was naked and went inside to find blanket or towel.

After a few minutes of searching, he found a sheet that would still keep Krystal warm but wouldn’t make her hot. When he came back out he held it out to her without looking. Constantine felt pretty much the same way about nudity as Intain did. Plus his mother had threatened him with three different methods of torture if he ever tried to take advantage of a girl.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Krystal took the blanket and wrapped herself with it. She smiled and thanked Constantine. "Sorry. I didn't know it was a law. That nudity wasn't aloud in public."

Jaques yelled in pain. "I'm sorry! Don't kill me! I only wanted a little blood!" He pushed Intain off as best he could, feeling the dagger-like claws coming off of him. He backed away into a corner, his eyes widened. "I'll go into jail, anything. I'll buy you food. Just leave me alone, please. I was going to heal her after I was done." He quickly dug into his pockets. He always had a fear of cats. This one was a big one. He didn't know what to do when there was a cat. He held out an elixer. "Here! This will heal her! Just don't kill me! Please!"

[Kilian]

Constantine just nodded, watching Intain and the other vampire. The only other time he had seen the guy that angry was when he had wanted some of Krystal’s blood.

“Oh, I don’t need your blood anymore. I was just coming by to tell you that too.” Constantine said with a backward glance at Krystal.

Intain snarled at Jaques and swiped at him. ~ If I ever see, hear, or smell you around here again, I will tear you into pieces and use you as fertilizer. And don’t think I’m not going to tell anyone about this either! Your shadow won’t even stay still after today. ~ Intain snarled again, and crouched down into a pouncing position.

[Karita]

One figure had watched the whole thing, and her eyes narrowed.

"Jaques, I've heard about you..."

She said, putting her free hand up to Intain's mouth.

"You can shift back to normal."

The Queen of Crysos walked up to Jaques, and smirked a bit.

"When you come back to Crysos, Jaques, guards will be waiting. When you go back to Kestal, I'll make sure guards are waiting. When you go anywhere, I'll make sure someone is hunting you, even ifI must do it myself. No one hurts my kin."

She swiped the elixer, and twirled it around, a look of dismay over her face. She showed it to the vampire in her other hand, who was tinted a slight purple.

"Kyrean, please take this. Do not drop it."

Karita let her daughter take the bottle, then she turned back to Jaques.

"I don't trust that elixer. I'll heal Krystal myself."

Karita set Kyrean down, and kneeled by Krystal, using her old Elven magic on her.

At least I didn't forget all my Elven spells...

Karita thought.

~

Kyrean watched her mother, and after a slight few seconds; became bored. She looked around at everyone, thinking to herself who'd be the best to cling onto until her mother was done. Her eyes set on the 'Kitty', and she ran up to Intain, petting him on the head like she would do to Tyran at home.

[Zuki Tamaro]

Jaques jumped back, but almost landed on the flowers. He staggered foward again, so he wouldn't damage them. Just then, felt worse. The Queen of Renor Crysos was here, knowing her she could easily turn him into the poorest person in the lands. "Sorry your majesty." He bowed and gritted his teeth. "I'm such a fool. I promise I'll only prey on animals if you let me live."

Krystal looked and saw the cute girl. She hold her breath, trying not to squeal. She then forgot about the incident and squealed. Oh she is so adorable! She wanted to go up and hug her, but that would cause the blanket to fall off of her, so she didn't. She looked at Karita and asked, "Is that your daughter? She's so cute with Intain!"

Jaques saw the girl with Intain. He was afraid that he was going to growl at her. He swallowed and backed away towards the gate. He was deathly afraid of cats. He had a terrible time with one. "Please let me leave. I promise to stay at my home. I won't ever return here again."

[Karita]

Karita finsihed her spell, and opened Krystal's mouth, checking her fangs. Normal, the spell had worked.

"Yes, Kyrean is my daughter."

She said, getting up. She turned to Jaques, knowing Intain wouldn't even lay a claw on her daughter.

"Jaques, you are going to become part of Zuki's army. There, you will learn discipline, which, obviously by your display today, you have none of. You will be given dedly tasks to doto make up for what you did to Krystal; such as holding her up against a wall. However, I will lighten your punsihment, since you taught Krystal something which she SHOULD HAVE known."

She said, her eyes looking towards Krystal.

"Like going out in public without clothes. And maybe.."

She continued, her eyes turning back to Jaques.

"If my husband decides to give you mercy, you will instead get a different task if he feels it would be good for you. You will protect my daughter if he allows it, after I put a spell over you so you can't hurt Zuki, Kyrean, Zunri, me, or my Tyran."

Karita took a deep breath, and sighed, going on once more.

"So, here's your decision. Either work off your crime in the castle by helping, protecting, and feeding Tyran, or being a fugitive that has the great risk of being killed. Your choice."

[Kilian]

Intain sighed and lay down. He glared at Jaques and licked his lips threateningly. If he ever saw that vampire come within three hundred meters of his Kitten, there would be nothing left for anybody to find of him after he was done. Feeling as though he had only done half of his job of scaring the poor idiot, Intain looked at Kyrean.

~ My fur is soft no? ~ He asked her and then licked her hand. ~ Be careful with my kin, they aren’t quite as tame as I am. Since you are still quite small, would like a ride? ~

[Zuki Tamaro]

Jaques swallowed. He bowed his head. "I... will be working for you. Anything to stay away from death." He looked at Intain and shivered when he licked his lips. He felt like he was going to be eaten, which he didn't want to happen. And he didn't know who Tyran was, but he bet it was another cat. He was a little scared. "Can... I go now? To see Tyran?"

Krystal felt ashamed and looked down. She didn't know what to say. Krystal then looked back at Karita. "Thanks for your help." She turned and began heading towards the door. She then turned around and looked at Jaques.

Jaques then said, "There's a problem... Krystal... She's in danger. She is the most beautiful girl in Kestal, and she is a blue fox, which makes it more dangerous for her. And her blood was pure, unlike any other's blood. If someone gets to her and finds out, she will be in trouble. It wouldn't be safe for her to enter Renor Crysos, or any of the bars in Kestal. Heed my words, she needs protection. Belive these words. I must go see Zuki now for the punishment." He lowered his head and walked away.

Krystal gasped and swallowed. "I hope it isn't true... Is my blood really that pure?" She was worried and felt bad that she couldn't go visit Zuki anymore.

[Karita]

Kyrean nodded, grinning.

"I'd like a ride.."

She replied, still petting Intain.

~

Karita listened intently to Jaques, and without hesitation she quickly cut Krystal's Shoulderblade. She let some blood drip into an open palm, then she sealed Krystal's wound back up easily. Karita sniffed the blood, then wiped it off.

"Krystal, unfortunatly, yes, your blood is pure and you ARE the most beautiful girl in Kestal, as I was until I moved to Crysos. I'll find you a guard, but, until then, the only way you can get to rysos safely is to use an underground pass nearby. Have Intain scent for me, I use it frequently. Anyway, the guards there are Kin to Tyran, and they'll protect you. Just stay out of trouble, Krystal, I don't want you hurt. I've already had to save you a few times now."

[Kilian]

~ Well then, climb on. ~ Intain said as he watched her. He then looked back at Karita. ~ I really wish you had let me shred him. It would have been so much fun for me and that idiot deserved it for hurting my Kitten. And if any bloodsucking idiot wants my Kitten's blood, they'd better make sure I don't have any first, because they won't get to her if I do. ~

[Zuki Tamaro]

Jaques sighed and shook his head. He didn't know what to do. He was the only one here that is an enemy to them. He hated to be an enemy.

Krystal winced when Karita cut her shoulderblade. When she healed her and told her, she felt bad. "Why am I a pure blood? I didn't do anything to have this kind of blood, did I? If I had this kind of blood, then so does my brothers. They should too."

Jaques shook his head. "It's not easy as you think. One in a thousand people would have that kind of blood. It's rarely passed down. But you should be lucky to have that blood, because it only means your very immune to magic and that you are good with magic. I heard you sing. That's your best talent."

Krystal looked at Jaques and smiled. She then looked at Karita and said, "Please be easy on him. He taught me alot of things in just one day, even though he bit me."

[Karita]

"I'll think about it, Krystal."

Karita said, watching Kyrean on Intain, making sure she wouldn't fall.

"But it's Zuki's decision. What he says goes. And, Krystal, I'm not sure why you have pure blood. I know I don't have it, even though...nevermind."

She thought of Vlad, and immediately shivered, ignoring the thought the best she could.

[Kilian]

Intain got up and walked around the garden. Constantine felt a little left out. Everyone was talking around him and not to him. And he was also wondering where his mother was.

"M'lady?" Constantine asked Karita with a bow. "My mother is your bodyguar - OW!"

Lilis cracked the back of Constantine's head with her hand and glared darkly at him. She then turned her glare onto Jaques. She had plenty of plans for torturing him if ever went back on his word. She knew people who had plenty cats and she happened to like cats too.

"You're an idiot Constantine and maybe as bad as Kilian sometimes. Just keep your mouth shut and then I'd still have my cover. And you," she said as she turned Jaques, "if you ever go back on your word you have just Zuki to worry about. You'll have me to worry about too. I can make your shadow twitch."

Intain came back and stopped, seeing Lilis. He looked back at Kyrean and tilted his head. ~ Do you want to go around the garden again? ~

[Karita]

Kyrean nodded.

"Then can we stop at the fish pond?"

~

Karita watched Lilis, and smirked a bit.

"I know, Constantine."

She said, thinking.

"Lilis, I have a question for you. You're always around the castle, well, most of the time, so I was wondering if you've seen Jaca or Malco lately. Theyve been working on spells and such lately, but I don't want them to fight in the war like they were planning to. I don't want them hurt, so, if you find them, do whatever it takes to make sure they don't go into the war."

[Kilian]

“No, I haven’t m’lady. But if I see them, I will tell them.” Lilis responded with a deep bow, Constantine followed suit. He went back into the shadows without his mother even asking him.

~ Okay little one. ~ Intain said and trotted off through the garden again and stopped by the pond. ~ Do you like fish too? ~

[Zuki Tamaro]

Krystal sat down on the ground, watching Intain. It was such an adorable sight. He would be wonderful to have a child with. She stopped her thoughts and looked away towards at where Constantine used to be. "Hmm... He must of left without saying goodbye. Pitty." She looked at Karita. "So, are you going to escort... Jaques, Queen Karita?"

Jaques felt uncomfortable about it. He was nervous about Lilis. The way she acted. No way she was like a normal girl. He always thought girls were happy people. But unfortunately... this one wasn't.

[Kilian]

~ I didn't leave! I'm in the shadows, making sure nobody comes along or tries anything. ~ Constantine said from wherever he was.

"Of course not, she has two perfectly capable bodyguards with her." Lilis said, boring holes into Jaques. "One of us could escort him back or we could all go back together. Makes no difference to me... but I might accidentally hurt him if I have to escort him back... alone."

[Zuki Tamaro]

Jaques swallowed and stood there, shaking. "Can we please go? I'll go with umm... someone safe and nicer."

Krystal looked around, trying to find where Constantine was at. She stood up and looked around the corners, trying to find Constantine. "Wow, your good at hide and seek." She giggled and looked some more.

[Karita]

Kyrean nodded.

"They're so pretty to look at..."

~

Karita nodded.

"Krystal, you take care of Kyrean awhile, I ened a break anyway. C'mon, Jaques, Time to go see Zuki."

[Kilian]

Lilis went to stand slightly behind Karita. Constantine came out of the shadows right beside Jaques. They were ready to leave.

~ Some fish are pretty. Others are more fun to catch and eat. ~ Intain told Kyrean as he curled around her back. ~ Try not to fall in though, please. I don't like getting my fur wet. ~

[Zuki Tamaro]

Krystal nodded and tightened the blanket around her. She sighed and looked over at Intain to watch them. She decided to go find some suitable clothes to wear. Maybe her ancient clothing would fit. They do show underneath her though, so, she wouldn't ride any horses today.

Jaques looked down and turned around. "Alright... Let's go. I feel like a terrible person."

[Kilian]

Lilis smiled cheerfully, taking on a cheerful manner. "Good! I can make it worse for you if you want! I'm very good with guilt trips!" She told him cheerfully, but her eyes glittered bright purple and showed how much she was restraining herself.

Constantine chuckled. "Don't mind mother too much... unless she's attacking you. Then you should worrying or start praying or whatever."
