Echoe sat curled up in a dark corner of his haven, staring at the entrance. every sound bouncing in his mind, amplified, then tapering off into silence. silence.

Echoe clutched his head and screamed. The words of the grandsires booming in his head.
"WE MUST HAVE THE KEY!! YOU WILL BRING US THE KEY!!"

Echoe muttered, "key.. key.. key..." almost inaudibly, shaking his head back and forth, whole body quivering.

"All in my head.. head.. head..."

A sound outside. Echoe quickly became invisible, hoping any intruder would remain unaware of his prescence.

Paralysed by his fear, he watched. nothing.

"what key... what key.. key.. key.. key..."

The word amplified itself in his mind, roaring. Must.. Find.. This.. key...

((OMG!!! I missed you man!

:smile: :smile:

((yeah i agree with Diam. great to hear from ya! a key eh? hmmmm.....could it be Batty's key?

"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAARGH!"

Echoes scream filled the haven, running back into his mind. The gransires were near.. he could feel it. Why were they awake?

the key.. Key.. KEY.. Key.. key.. key.. KEY..

He heard the girl's laughter again.... as he had been hearing it for two weeks now. It fueled his madness, drove it to unimaginable extremes.

He screamed again, clutching his head, hands covering his ears to try and block out something that was inside his mind. Would not leave. Until he kound the key.

The key.. the key... HER KEY.

Compelled back against the dar corner by one force, and out into the city by another...

He MUST Have This KEY. Where is the key... key.. key...

((OOC info Gabe... panda saw you stick the key in your pocket... think back to the Thorpe in Cascadia thread.))

((Hey... I think Viviane would like to come in here soon -_^...

((errr.r...oh dear.....yipes? okay well i guess for RP purposes, Gabe lives in a large manor house build in the 17th Century. it was styled after English Keeps, and it is surrounded by a tiny little villa owned by Gabriel. he has invisible ghouls which watch the surrounding area, plus hired Ventrue which keep guard. if you DO infiltrate his home however, you'll find that neither Gabriel nor the key are there. :smile: i'll go back to the TiC thread to look

((Lol its ok gabe i have no idea IC where the key is.. Yet. Vivianne.. please do jump in... but be careful, i'm not myself lol))
**more after somebody else jumps in**

Vivian wandered to her haven. Her serpintine eyes flickering around in search of Echoe. She sat down, frowning.

Echoe watched silently as Viviane entered the haven. He shifted position only slightly. hiding from everyone, and the ehoes in his mind.

He would need to hunt soon. his thirst had been mounting incredibly as he maintained his invisibility. No more... must.. feed...

must.. feed...

The fear kept him frozen, and unseen.

Echoe's pale body became visible as he lost consciousness....

Looks at him, her eyes wide.

"No! Echoe!!!"

She rushed to his body, his paleness shocking her, she wrapped her arms around him, then she bit at her wrist, opening it. Her warm freshly fed blood flowing freely as she pushes the open vein to his mouth, her other arm wrapped around him. She tries to keep herself calm and together long enough to get him awake again.
