The Vampire Council

Reno stood outside, staring up towards the building he'd been training at for two hundred years or so. He was here to train in the art of stealth. Or so he sometimes heard his lord say, becoming a ninja. It was a much different method of brutal training than he'd learned at The Black House, learning how to be silent and mill without making a noise, rather than knowing how to completely demolish an opponent. Here it was that he found a crush, friend, and even an enemy long ago, but it wasn't in his nature to show much care for either.

Grace had been watching the gathering apprentices from her office, curious as to what had gathered them. She wonders why Reno is taking so long to get inside but just shrugs and takes her notes and plans that she had to teach Reno that day down to the classroom he was taught in. She decides that she'll take her time to get to the classroom and if he wasn't there by then that she would go outside and meet the other apprentices, she had to meet them all eventually anyways. Grace smiles lightly to herself as she remembers the day she was given her title by her father and had met most of the lords that had been her superior till that day. Grace made her way silently through the halls and down the stairs, sure there was an elevator but walking was much more fun for her and allowed her time to think.

Marcus was walking up to the stealth temple(is it a temple?) when he saw the other apprentices. He walked up to them "Hey. Whats up?" he asked deciding whatever his master sent him here for could wait for a while. He looked at Anita and smiled. Lord Happy may have told me not to think of thoughts of lust and love, but the old geezer is probably just arfraid. Afraid of me and what I can do.

Dahved was slowly approaching the stealth building.He hated it when he had to go somewhere and this was one of those days.He yawned as he saw a group of people standing there and continued his walk towards the building 'what did I do to deserve this?' he thought as he slowly descended towards the doors.

Reno watched as he was suddenly approached by Xennis, not minding her snooping. Though they were friends he tended to normally be thinking about other things. Or on top of that just being in his regular uncaring nature."Im waiting to see what she does." He points up towards a room on the thrid floor of the window, revealing his lord, or sensei as he sometimes called her watching him. His eyes went back at the sound of another voice, his hand going to a knife at his waist and bringing it to Natila's throat. He'd been trained to attack anyone who approached and made a sound at his blind spot. Seeing she could do no harm he put away his knife and sighed."My apologies. You are Natila right?" She was pretty attractive, but now wasn't time for flirting or making date plans. When two others arrived Reno began to wonder if Grace had put them up to this. She knew how he didn't liked being annoyed, and being approached one by one by other lord's apprentices was a little bugging."Are you guys on a field trip or something?" His tone was sarcastic, but he was curious to know what brought them here.

"You're Antia? Right?" he asked remember the names of a few of the apprentices. He held out his hand for her to shake. "What brings you here?" he asked wondering if her Lord had sent her like Lord Happy had sent him. He turned to Reno "Lord Happy wants to know the thing is coming along."(you know what that means) What is this thing? And why didn't he come out his self?

Grace had made it to the classroom already, sensing that he wasn't on his way. She sets down whatever she had needed for the lesson of the day and walks ut of the classroom, deciding to be quick about her arrival. She steps in front of the group of apprentices and smiles gently at them. "Merry meet, apprentices." She bows her head to them in respect. She knew that they would probably think it was weird but it was how she acknowledged people and showed her respect to the future succesors. "May I ask what has brought you all to the front of the building?"

Reno listened to each of their reasons for coming, looking towards Natila once more."My name is Reno. And as for you what you would need from my lord. She is coming right now." He turned to see Grace now walking from the room, a smile on her face as she greets them. He'd been taught well, but it was strange that she showed much more emotion, where of he was taught long before becoming here apprentice that emotions only got you killed.

He appeared beside Grace in less than a second 'hey Grace long time no see,I need to talk to you in private,something troubling came up a week ago and none of my people made it back'

Reno watched as Alexander, the head of the vampires arrived and stood before him. In his common nature he didn't like the male very much, but because of his rank he was meant to respect him. Though had it not been for maintaining the status of his clan, he would surely have of spoken out again this man. Not because he didn't like him, but after training to become Grace's number one apprentice he knew how to read another's mind from just the signs given off from their body."Hello lord Alexander." His eyes went toward Natlia as she bowed to the two lords."It was a pleasure to meet you."

Jackson was making his way back to Lord Vasilisa's building, from an errand he had to run. He never minded running errands for her, as he would often daydream about her while he did them. As he was walking back he checked the time. "Oh, boy, she's going to be wondering where I'm at." He said to himself before he picked up into a run, he hated making Lord Vasilisa wait. He was a blur when he went past the other apprentices. Once he got to the door he slowed back to a walk and walked through the doorway casually.

Lord Cross stood inside his building, looking over towards the stealth building in an attempt to see what exactly was going on. It was an advantage that tthe two buildings were so close together, allowing him to see just exactly what his young neice was up to. Of course she was already on her way returning from her duties, but his attention was no longer on her, but rather the two lords standing outside. It only took but a moment before he found himself standing before them, bowing slightly for the head of the council."It appears I was not the only one who had yet to go to the council meeting."

"Alexander." Lady Grace bows her head to Alexander, a bit of tension emanating from him was a bit annoying but she hid the annoyance well. She returns her attention to the young boy who stood before her. "Please continue." She knew that showing too much emotion wasn't a particularly good thing, of course that was on the battlefield as well as for missions.
