Keller slunk along the deserted streets of Tranyslvania in the witching hour, hoping to maybe find a tired slayer or a defenseless human. She was in bloodlust, and it was becoming hard to breathe.

Walking along the edge of the roof of the building besides Raksha, Tara looked down and could sense Keller's bloodlust. Smirking slightly she jumped, landing infront of Raksha. She had wanted to talk to Raksha ever since she had bumped into her up at Dracula's castle,
"No point looking at this time of night... the pubs closed an hour ago, everyones asleep!"
She said, standing up straight and walking towards her, her blonde hair falling lightly on her shoulders.

Keller hissed in a feral manner, doubling over in pain. Lack of oxygen was slowly killing her, and if what the angel said was true...then it might just be her last day...well, undead. She backed up against the wall of a building and sank to the floor, her hands at her throat, wheezing.

Tara shook her head, she had never been in the position Keller was in now... then again Tara was lucky enough to live without the need for blood, being the first changed did hold alot of... advantages. Watching her sink to the floor, Tara shook her head, before making a glass and a sharp knife appear out of know where. She knelt on the floor besides keller and placed the glass down, before drawing the knifes blade across her own wrist, causing a nice, clean cut to form. She pressed her fingers against her skin, ignoring the pain and the sweet looking blood leaked out into the glass. When the glass was full Tara drew her wrist to her lips, and with the softest kiss the cut healed. She picked up the glass and handed it to Keller for her to drink,
"We need to talk... I have some news for you!"

Keller took the glass hastily, draining it. Her skin regained it's pale glow once more, and her lips fullened. Her eyes glowed topaz for a moment, then faded again. "Uh...thank you. I think. Ok...so what is your news?" she asked, climbing to her feet and brushing the grit off her ground-sweeping black muslin skirt and velvet cloak, which was fastened with an irish ivy broach, the land of her desc ent.

Tara nodded, watching her as she drank the blood and letting out a slight sigh. She satd down with her back against the wall before shaking her head,
"We'll get to that in a moment... I just wanted to know what you thought of Dracula..."
She said, she was interested to know if he had the same pull on his second changed as he did on his first.

Keller sunk down beside Tara, sighing and staring into the distance. "Well. What I think of him. I have long pondered to myself what the truth to that question is myself." she paused, shifting her hair from the right side of her neck. Two wounds were still open, although not bleeding. "At first I thought it was worth it, saving me from following my blasted parents paths. But then I found out that not only did he NOT bloodlust like I soon found out I did, but neither did his first changed. I hated him for that..." she paused, remembering.
"I tried to find a way to kill him for what he'd done to me...but couldn't. I couldn't do it. After that I simply accepted my nature and took it on fully. You see, if you take a certain amount of human lives by draining them...you get an animal form. Example." she got to her feet, and leaped. It seemed she was going to land flat on her face...but her body all at once became covered in sleek, shiny black fur. She wheeled around, now on all fours. Her eyes were amber and the pupils were dilated.

Tara shook her head,
"no no no! I meant... what do you feel for him now? Do you love him? Hate him?"
She asked again, ignoring the way she changed her form, it didn't affect her at all, she didn't care about others personal powers, after all she had her own, she had the work of good and evil on her side that made her more powerful than most, some even said she was more powerful then the Queen, akasha herself. But she ignored those rumours, she didn't believe herself to be so powerful. She didn't use her powers for battle anyway, actually half her powers layed dormant inside of her, having never been used at all in Tara's life. But as she had said, she didn't care about powers, she cared about feelings, she was really interested in how Keller felt about Dracula.

Keller reered onto her hind legs and changed again, her sleek fur in contrast becoming soft velvet. "Now? I feel neither of those. I loved him once...then he became too distant and shrouded in endless darkness for my liking. But I 'tink he loves you angel. So, what's your news?" she sank down next to her again, brushing her hair over to hide her wounds once more.

Tara smiled, looking down at her hand,
"Please, my names Tara, though I do believe my great great great niece is named Angel!"
She replyed, before holding her hand out to Keller, showing her the silver ring that fit perfectly onto her marriage finger,
"I would like you to say hello to Dracula's new bride!"
She said rather smugly, her own eyes gazing down at the ring as it reflected the light from the moon in the darkness.

Keller took it with a smirk and shook it. "Good fortune be yours friend...but beware. A curse be on the lass who becomes Dracula's bride. I know not what the curse may be...but beware besides." she warned, letting go again and narrowing her eyes as the first signs of dawn appeared.
She wore a silver ring on her left ring finger, and it was set with a blue stone. She admired it, her eyes dreamy. "It was my mother's engagement ring. Lapis Lazuli. It's coincidentally a stone that if polished once with the sap of a certain tree, protects the d**ned from the curses of the sun." she explained grimly.

Tara nodded withdrawing her hand and smiling down at her ring, She looked over at Keller's ring, sensing her uneasiness from the feeling of dawn approaching, holding her hand out open the ring flew off Keller's hand and into Tara's, she turned it over, staring down at the stone,
"Pretty..."
She said, running her finger across it,
"Looks like you'll need to find that tree... another advantage of being Dracula's first...."
She said as the sunlight began to move across the town, edging down the road towards them. She stood and threw the ring back at Keller standing in the light as it moved towards them. As the light touched her she felt her hand burn, but then the blonde hair and blue eyes returned to her and the burn disappeared, allowing the sun to cover her fully without any pain. She looked back at Keller to see her reaction.

Keller waited patiently until the ring was handed back to her, and slipped it back on, bearing to affect due to the rush of sunlight. "Nice try. But not even Dracula's bride can undo the work of witches." she said cooly, getting to her feet and strolling along the street a little. An advantage of not being an angel vampiress is that she looked no different to other humans other than when she was feeding. Angels stood out because they were so beautiful, innocent, pure...and naive.

Tara smiled, shaking her head,
"I might not be able to undo the power of the witches..."
She winked, before seconds later appearing directly behind Keller,
"But I could cause you more pain then any sun could ever do!"
She threatened, smirking slightly as her eyes looked up at the large castle that loomed over the small town,
"You remember that and everythings going to be fine between us!"
She continued, before large white wings sprouted out of her back. She leaped up off the ground and flew back off towards the castle.

Keller sighed and watched as Tara flew away. She thought that it might be time for a truce visit with the angel queen...
