Modding Asylum

Back from our last mission in Scotland, where we met Shomigumi, John Storm and I resumed in the hands of Alex Black a pass in Japanese.

He invited us to wait in an alcove with our friends, Michael and Igels Nissa.

After thirty minutes, a man came for us. It reminded us of the actions of labels vis-à-vis those placed highest. (Reminder: Present Name, Clan, Generation + one knee if the person is placed very high or moderately hello head if placed) .

Everyone is ready, we followed him, escorted by six men in ceremonial dress with ribbon representing their clan.

We returned in a room known but whose floor was open, and which we saw some stairs on a fifty meter. We descended the stairs and arrived in front of two huge doors closed. Two guards found there and checked if they were armed or have had a rather dangerous disciplines. After a brief moment of hesitation for Michael aegles, they opened the gates and we could enter.

Inside, we saw a semicircle of chairs and a throne in the middle. All the chairs were occupied by different clans of vampires. On the throne, Lilith, the first vampire, when she spoke you could hear an echo, and when she moved, we could see the trace of his movements! Brrr! I was not very comfortable in seeing it.

We were brought up to her to trust us with this terrible mission: get the third part of the stone in the East! But we were not yet strong enough, people were going to drag us before leaving there.

We ressortîmes room and we waited patiently in the alcove. Two people, a man and a woman, not beautiful, came to meet us.

The man called John Storm and they went into an adjoining room. The woman called me and we went into another room.

She sat down, opened a suitcase and took out a flask. She opened and swallowed the contents. She did the same with a second vial out of the bag also. She began to talk to me and tell me it was one of the few people who can help us. While speaking she gashed his wrist and introduced him to me.

« Do not be afraid, trust, nothing will happen there.  »

I took his wrist and bus with his blood. I felt a gentle heat, but only for a few minutes after it began because to burn. I could not manage to control myself and suddenly the pain stopped. I came out of the room with a disability that I did not notice, but will soon be seen: the bad taste! (Worse handicap for a toreador)

Fortunately in exchange for this handicap, I received a new discipline that unfortunately made ​​me lose another inconsistent with the first. (You’ll see later what it is.)

Back in the alcove, everything was normal except that everyone seemed ugly and that I had never seen me before! Even the decor, walls, paintings, …

He took me into another room, and I went in alone.

Inside, several tables being arcuate opposite the entrance. At each table a person. Each different person and at the same time the same.

I went up to the first, there was a great lady very noble, very distinguished. I went up to greet me but hardly had she seen it tells me: « Who do you think you are to come to this table? « . At these words, I decided not to respond. If she wants to take it out on someone, it will not be me. I do not like pretentious people and hypocrites, so I went to the second table.

There, a man in a suit with a cell phone in hand. I approached, he rose, looked at me and motioned me to sit.

« Good evening, so you are new and come learn about the clan you choose. Tell me a little about yourself. « Let me introduce myself, tell him I come from a noble family by my father. « You are so noble? Then your place is with us my dear, do you want a glass of champagne or do you continue to visit the other tables? « It was pretty nice but a bit too posh for me.

- « I would prefer to continue, thank you soon.  »

At the third table, a man dressed in black with a large hood over the head. One does not see his face. I approached, and the closer I got to the table, he looked more to hide. I felt a discomfort, and I was not very tempted to talk to him. I said no and went to the fourth table.

A woman, casual style, sitting on it. I went and sat. She looked at me and there I saw no human eyes but eyes of a panther. She said: « I will not lie to you as others do. Here at home we are free, it comes to himself and there was no fixed home. Once created, your father let you live your life alone.  »

This freedom is good and bad. See if someone offers me something else to another table.

I greeted her and went in the fifth table.

Here a man very elegant, very beautiful, was reading a novel. He saw me coming and motioned me to sit down. He introduced himself and I did the same. For a moment he looked at me as if fascinated. « I find you very beautiful miss Angelique. We talked a few minutes, and I ended up spending the next table.

Sixth table, a man or a woman rather, well I do not know. A being of incredible beauty was seated, long curly blond hair, a thin face.

« Good evening, » I said.

- « Good evening, sit down. . « He or she looked at me from head to foot as if I drew him.

« What can I do for you?  »

- « I like to know a little about yourself?  »

- « On me or on my clan?  »

- « On your clan.  »

- « What do you want? The beauty, power, strength?  »

- « The Power »

- « Well, what are the things I can give you if you join my clan.  »

He or she looked at me, I would have liked more but apparently it will not be the case. I think he or she is hiding something behind her beauty, and it makes you want to be curious.

Then I went to the next table, a man was reading a book carefully. I approached as in others. This man had felt my presence and said dryly: « Go away and go to the next table!  »

I did not like his aggressiveness and being in nature rather reserved, I do not insist, and reached the final table, where there was a man with a walkman on your ears. He had his eyes closed and therefore did not see me. « Excuse me, I said loud enough. » But he did not hear me.

I thought for a moment, why insist to talk to this person if my last choice is almost done. I hesitate just a bit between two tables. Upon reflection, I headed out the door. I make my choice.

John came near me.

« You make your choice?  »

- « Yes, this man in the fifth table told me things that I am closest to.  »

- « Well, I see that I am not mistaken in choosing you. This is the Toreador clan, and I myself am part. Do you always agree to become one of us?

- « Yes, I have not changed my mind.  »

- « Know that I will do thee no harm, that it will pass in sweetness, in pleasure. I’ll bite you and gradually you’ll feel weak, you’ll have some trouble breathing but it is quite normal.  »

He looked at me and bit me gently, that bite you might find pain and suffering but no, it was exactly the opposite. It was fun, a feeling of well being, enjoyment, a bit like an orgasm.

« Now you have to drink my blood to be like us. « He bit his wrist and handed it to me. I drank the little blood he gave me and had a little trouble breathing.

While I was unable to move, he undressed me and took me in his arms to carry me up the chimney.

I regained consciousness, I was naked, he stood before me and watched with pleasure and desire. « This is a stunning Jean Paul Gauthier suit for you my dear Angelica, I let you get dressed. »

I was a little sore eyes, I took a few minutes that they get used to light the fire. My eyesight was no longer the same, either my hearing: here I heard the noise of people talking in the room.

After donning my tailor, until he comes back, I looked around me.

« I must tell you angelica, garlic and crosses do us nothing but the sun can kill us, you need now so you hide from the sun. So I’ll have someone drive you home and we’ll see later.  »

I returned to my apartment and closed all the drapes and other cracks where light can pass. And I slept.

So this is how I became a Cainite.

As I was saying I was a professional makeup and face painting. I worked in small theaters and street where they needed me. While at night, I gave piano lessons.

I live in New York in an apartment, my father was French and American mother.

One evening while I was drinking coffee in a lounge, a man came up to me and handed me a card. « Good evening, if you say that you go at midnight tonight I invite you to an evening. « Then he left. I looked at the card he had given me: no name, just an address. Weird anyway, but hey I wanted to know more about this invitation.

I finally decide, I changed my and I called a taxi to take a look at this place. Arrived, I saw a huge fence with a guard at the entrance. Behind it, a large driveway and at the end of this alley looks like a castle. I asked the taxi to wait for me a half hour and I pay. As if there is something fishy too, I can go fairly quickly.

I went down and walked me to the fence. I approached the guard, handed him the card that the stranger had given me and said that I’m invited. He let me go after I have seen. I continued walking in this alley quite dark, filled with trees and came upon two white doors with stained glass. Another guard asked me who I am, I introduced myself and also handed him the map, pointing out that I was invited.

He let me go and wished me good evening.

In the lobby, I laid my coat in the locker room and headed toward the interior of this strange place. I entered a large room full of people. There were several alcoves each with doors leading to private rooms. And between these doors, there was a variety of statues and paintings. These people standing in the hall, were talking together, and when I came among them they looked at me in a strange way, almost as if I was different. I admit I was a little uncomfortable.

I continued my little visit to the bathroom to try to find this man met at the cafe. I saw no point and decided to observe the sublime statues and paintings exhibited all around the room.

After a while, I saw a man with brown hair, elegant, dressed in a suit standing in front of a paint mark. I approached and looked at this painting and finally asked him: « Excuse me, could you tell me who is this painting because I find it beautiful. » I was not sure how to approach, he looked completely focused and I was afraid of his reaction.

He turned to me and after a moment’s reflection, replied, « it is in any case of a high quality, this mixture of black and red is very expressive »

I did not know what to say mind having actually disturbed in his detailed observation.

He looked at me as if I too was a painting, with a smile and said, « I present my name is Markus. And you? « .

- « My name is Angelique and someone invited me here but I can not find this person. « I showed him the card.

- « Pleased to meet you.  »

He took my hand and kissed him. This made ​​me feeling strange, weird in my heart.

- « I understand that it is but do not worry it should arrive. In the meantime if you need something say you know me and you will not have trouble.  »

- « Well, thank you.  »

And he went to another painting.

Some time later, the man that I met came up to me. He was also wearing a very elegant dress. « Hi, pleased that you came. I introduce myself, my name is John. « He kissed my hand.

« Come we will discuss in another room.  »

They entered a small room upstairs in the room a table, two armchairs and a fireplace. There was something in this piece of black, dark and at the same time, I felt good.

« Please, sit. « He looked at me from head to foot and smiled. His eyes were deep and sensual.

Then he asked me this question I did not expect or rather hardly.

- « Do you believe in vampires?

- « Uh … I do not know. « I replied.

He then something happened.

This John, who sat before me, found himself in an eyeblink behind me and whispered in my ear: « Think, do not have you felt like a stranger coming here? Others do not they looked when you came? « .

He looked at me and said, « We are all Cainites, for you we call vampires.  »

My heart began to accelerate. Why am I here with a vampire? And what does he want? He continued to speak.

« I have brought here because I have chosen you, I’ll ask you a question. Will you join our clan and give up your life, knowing that there are only benefits and what you just saw is nothing next to reality. We can do much more, we are much stronger than you humans. I chose you for your purity and your beauty. I let you think for a while but know that few people have the chance to choose. And if you refuse, you will get together with like forgetting everything that happened tonight.  »

- « Uh … » I did not know what to say. On one side my current life, the other the enemy. A morbid curiosity overcame me.

- « Remember, my brothers and sisters would love to taste your blood and once you got home, any day, any hour of the night they might be wanting blood .  »

After having reflected, I decided to accept and become one of their own.

« Well, but above all we must that you choose what clan you will be. I let you make your choice, I know it will be good.  »

He took my hand to follow …
