Negotiations (pt 1)

At BoardWell bridge there were four figures standing on the bridge around 10pm. These four figures were Alicia, Arthur, Marcellus and Chuck.

"So, Alicia, we need to put some chains on your wrists to make it look real," said Marcellus as he cuffed her wrists with thick chains.

"Ugh, Why are they so heavy though. I won't be able to fight like this if something goes wrong" complained Alicia as shook the chains a bit to emphasize her point.

 " If everything goes according to plan, there won't be a need for you to "said Arthur with a wry smile as he finished his part of the preparations.

After the gang finished their ambush plan they compelled Chuck to act normal again when he went to deliver Alicia. Arthur and Marcellus were waiting under the BoardWell bridge, while Chuck took an 'unconscious' Alicia onto the bridge in Chains.

  All of the sudden, they all heard footsteps coming from the opposite side of the bridge. Out of the shadows a man creeped out of sight. As they saw the man walking toward them they couldn't help  but to notice that he looked like a stereotypical vampire would.

He had white hair, glowing red eyes although the sclera were a dark, blood-red almost black, with black veins growing from his eyes to the sides of his cheeks.

He had sharp ears, almost elf like, with two piercings on each one. His skin was pailer than even Marcellus, his skin almost matching his albino hair.

He wore a black coat with red highlights, black gloves, black pants and black oversized combat boots.

His resting expression was one of boredom that, along with his sharp eyes and other features, made him very handsome.

His expression flickered a little when he saw Chuck, as did his body! Before anyone could react, the vampire meeting Chuck had ripped his heart out.

As Chuck died, his face was one full of rage, regret and sorrow, as he was finally able to express emotions once again. A slight oddity, though, is the fact that he was also very happy? I guess he can finally meet his loved ones that died at the hands of vampires. Hah, just like he did, how ironic!

Nobody moved for a while, especially Arthur who hadn't expected for anyone to actually die. Although they weren't that bent out of shape from Chuck dying, the fact that he died in front of them made them lose touch with reality for a second.

The first one who came too was Alicia as she felt herself being picked up. Her eyes snapped open and, seeing that she was being picked up, twisted her body to free herself. She landed hands first on the bridge as she backflipped twice to gain decent distance from the white haired vampire.

She looked back at him after calming down and was able to notice the surprise that was showing on the White-haired vampire.

"Oh~?!" The white-haired man thought upon seeing that she managed to fool him.

"I guess this was never mentioned to the doc then. So, why did she do this?" muttered as he started smiling slightly in amusement.

"Why did you allow that human to bring you here?" asked the White-haired man aloud, enough for everyone in the surrounding area to hear.

"This also goes for the two under the bridge. Why did you want to meet with me?" asked the man, getting slightly irritated that he had to repeat himself.

Arthur and Marcellus, knowing that their cover was blown, came out from under the bridge with frowns on their faces.

"First, how did you know that we were there?" asked Marcellus as he narrowed his eyes, ready to use 'Bloody Reaction' at a movements notice.

"Hehehe, are you joking? I could hear your heartbeat from here, I could smell you and even more so the human" replied the White-haired man with a small chuckle. After all, who couldn't understand something so easy to do so?  

Meanwhile, Alicia and Marcellus frowned in discontent as they had both forgotten that the senses of a vampire were heightened so extremely.

Alicia answered the man's question first, "We are here to make a deal with you, we want you to help us infiltrate the so-called 'Mad Antidote' operations" replied Alicia as she didn't blink once, showing her distrust.

"Oho~? What would I be getting out of this deal?" asked the White-haired man as he crossed his arms with an amused expression running across his face.

"Anything you want" replied Marcellus, "Absolutely anything possible to obtain" he spoke with a resolute tone.

"What if I said I want rank 3, A+ blood?" questioned the White-haired man, his eyes seemingly losing their amused luster.

Marcellus' expression changed to that of confusion along with Arthur's because they didn't know about blood ranks and types.

However, Alicia's changed to shock as she expressed, "You have to be kidding? Why would you need blood so pure?"

"It was simply a better offer than what the doctor gave me. I figured that if I was going to betray him, I should at least get something out of it" responded the man with a sigh as he uncrossed his arms.

Seeing that everyone was getting ready for a fight, Arthur got back under the small bridge and Alicia had a grim expression on her face.

Marcellus, noticing that a fight was about to break out, decided to not wait for his opponent to make the first move.

Activating 'Bloody Reaction' Marcellus ran at a normal vampire's speed towards the man. Just as Marcellus was about to throw a punch, the white-haired man smiled and grabbed Marcellus' extended arm.

"Nice move, might have worked if I was a little weaker" muttered the man, loud enough for Marcellus to hear.

He then threw out his arm, that seemed to start glowing red!!! His punch was moving many times faster than Marcellus' did, and it was heavy.

Or, at least it would have felt like that if Marcellus had actually been hit by it! Thanks to Casstis, his flexibility is top notch. That, along with 'Bloody Reaction' the man's really fast punch still looked slow.

Seeing that he currently wouldn't be able to hit the man, instead of counter-attacking, Marcellus used this opportunity to slip out of the mans grip and take a few steps back.

"Oho~?! Interesting" said the white-haired man as he finally started getting serious.

Marcellus resolved himself for a tough fight as he got into stance and took a deep breath!

FIGHT!!!

It felt like someone shouted this as they both ran at each other like speeding winds!
