Yes I know I'm a wolf and I've been known to bite, But I'm telling you that you'll be safe with me
Welcome
Hello potential student and/or teacher!! Before you begin, there are a few things your had better know right away.
First, Whispers in the Dark is an alternate universe Vampire Knight rp. Meaning, we are based largely upon the anime, but we've expanded the world in a pretty big way and we just don't feel comfortable claiming it can be in the same universe as the original.
Secondly, there are only original characters here. There should be a certain equality among our student body and to achieve that, we feel everyone should play their own character and not one designed to be the star of the show. We are all the stars of our own show.
And finally, we are rated PG-13. We know our limits, but we love to use them to the fullest.
Your pre-orientation is now complete. If we seem like the place for you, check out the plot and the rest of the rules and don't be afraid to ask us anything in the cbox!
Very sorry, but purebloods and alphas are banned to beginning members. Once you have at least one character and show us you keep it active, please feel free to post a pureblood or alpha character to be considered.

The school has finally opened its doors to the... well, it's not so public yet.
All students are here by invitation only for now. Why? Because Cross Academy is a school unlike
any other... and not just because their school year begins in winter. Grades levels
(meaning freshman, sophomore, etc.) don't really matter much here. After all, the
students aren't just here to learn. We're all here to try to coexist. That's our main
priority. Teaching kids as we do it is just a bonus.

Her sword came into a frenzy of slashes as her body danced among them. Blood splattering her, bringing back memories that she tried to push down and soon reality faded and she was back into training while killing other innocent yet stupid creations that had failed.
"Kaz! Do me a favor, tell Ama I love 'em." She shouted over the screams as she soon became completely covered with the level e's, claws and bites digging into her skin yet somehow it didn't register.
She had done all she could to protect, the one thing that was against her entire DNA structure. She was meant for destruction, death..
All had went dark for a moment int time as her sword came into the skull of another being, when he flew back and away from her, Serenity knew she was done for.
There was no way the woman would live to see another day light, another one of Aegis' smiles, another moon lit sky with stars that filled the earth. They had all taken it for granted, even Aegis, or Amakusa as he is currently known by these people. She had loved every day she woken up without fearing that she'd be next in line, love to see the sun and the moon, love not killing.. Loved the flowers and the warm sheets and the hot showers..she loved everything. She had sacrificed everything to be where she is today, hell she even wrote a will to allow the riches to be transferred to Amakusa, if he would not accept, then his friend Natsumi would be the second to receive the funds.
She had killed to save their lives, how little that mattered to them, meant everything to her.

She felt like just falling on her knees and letting whatever happened happen. But, she couldn't do that. Despite how weak her knees felt and wanted to buckle and how much her stomach protested that it wanted to get out of here. She had to keep going, despite the fear that was starting to clench onto her. She was afraid of everything, and yet, she wanted courage. She remembered the reason why she had come out here after all. She wasn't out here for herself, but instead for Theo. She had been worried for him.
Now, they were in the line of fire, by something she didn't understand. She didn't need to understand though, all she needed was to make sure both her and theo got out of this. And the others, she would of liked to see them come out of it to.. Lotte tried not to watch as blood got on her dress from Kaz's shot. She had to remember these people where trying to kill them to. No matter how much it seemed unjustified in her mind, this was what had to happen. She watched sadly as the blonde threw off his jacket.
She held onto his hand tight however and gently but assertively pulled him with her to Kaz's side. The sound of death filled the air as the woman who had distracted the people for them killed. She killed and Lotte almost knew in her gut, that her wish for all of them to leave unscathed was not going to come true. As she got close to Kaz, his touch graced her arm as he pulled her, and consequently theo behind him. She was worried, but something told her Kaz had a handle on this. She had to trust him, not that she all ready didn't.
Her hues glanced down at theo at his words. "We have to go Theo. ",having learned his name from Kaz earlier, "if we don't Kazmir will be in even more danger. " she said. She hoped that the small blonde would come. If anything she wanted to do all she could to help him, even if it wasn't much. Lotte knew later, she would have nightmares. Maybe, just maybe she could even forget this whole thing, but she doubted it would ever happen.

While most of the vampires were piled on Allessandra, that didn't mean there weren't quite a few that were still trying to get at Lotte and Theo. Especially the little one, as he was still the one that was making the most noise. The two were the weakest prey on the field, it would be hard to just let them go, especially to a hive of very hungry Level E's. And with one protector down, it meant that the load would be heavier on Mei and Kazimir's shoulders.
Go with Kazimir's plan? Or ignore him and hold your ground?

[/style]
Alessandra was dead. Maybe she was still moving, still slashing away at the level E's... but there was no way she was going to walk away from this fight. Kaz could have kept shooting at the horde which was slowly overtaking her, but he knew a lost fight when he saw it. He had to focus his fire away from her and onto the threats towards Lotte and Theo, despite how much it felt like he was hammering the final nail into her coffin. She had essentially -- no, literally. The most literal sense of the term -- sacrificed herself for the sake of everyone else here. He couldn't let her death become meaningless. No one else could die. 'Kaz! Do me a favor, tell Ama I love 'em.' Her last request. Then she was buried... Gone.
Shit.
And to make things worse, Theo wasn't listening. He wanted to stay to protect him. But he couldn't. Staying made Theo a target and, despite being a noble, realistically there was nothing he could do. He just made himself a target by being out here, made himself a victim for Elessa to die for. "Theo, get inside with Lotte." It was an order, and Kaz didn't even try to hide his anger this time. Maybe he'd hurt Theo's feelings, but that seemed rather insignificant at the moment compared to the possibility of Theo dying.
Facing the enemies closest to himself, Lotte, and Theo, Kaz slowly backed up towards the entrance, checking on Mei every once in a while and shooting anything that jumped at her from behind. There was only one problem: his magazine was running out of ammo, and he'd have to either switch to his spare or go hand-to-hand after 4 more shots.

confusedly, his big eyes blinked at the woman who had pulled him so far. the last thing he needed was for kaz to end up in even more danger. but on the other hand, theo wanted to protect him and kaz didn't even have to watch out for him, because he would risk everything, without caring about the consequences. everything would be just so much better if they just let him help! "but if i help, then he can't be in..."
he didn't get to finish his sentence as he was interrupted by kaz. in a way he hadn't known so far. the already enormous eyes grew even larger as he turned his head to face his brother. for a moment, he tried to remember a moment where kaz had already talked to him like that, however he failed to.
this was new and it was that kind of new theo failed to like. "i...i...but i..." the boy mumbled. only seconds after the boy grimaced and bursted out in tears, he turned around and did as he was told.

It all happened too fast to be real, or so Mei wished. But it was all very real, too real, and for one of them it was all over. Like Kazimir, the first thing that Mei had seen was the attack on Theo. But unlike Kazimir, she was too slow to the punch. She ripped off her necklace as fast as she could, breaking the clasp, and bit her thumb in the same motion. Blood welled at the spot she had nipped. Though it was but a drop, a hunter’s blood was potent stuff; the scent made some of the vampires’ heads turn.
That was all Mei needed: to make them look anywhere but at their targets. She slid her bitten thumb along the length of her necklace, smearing her precious blood on the silver chain. The chain glowed a soft light and then grew and grew, becoming longer and heavier in her arms until it was not a necklace at all but a powerful weapon. The cross charm had also grown too, into a three-edged axe-head ready to sink into flesh. Mei gave some length out to the chain and began to swing and swing behind her, gaining momentum on the throw. As she swung, she moved toward the group, her fear left at the door step.
She no longer had the luxury of being afraid.
When Mei swung forward for the first time, the force nearly took her with the axe. She dug her heels into the dirt to keep from being controlled by her own weapon. The axe struck one of the vampires aiming for Theo decisively in the head. She had been aiming for something lower and more prominent, but the head was quite the lucky shot; the points embedded in the vampire’s face and knocked it completely over. Mei felt nauseous as she tugged her weapon back and almost ripped the vampire’s face off with it. She had to move faster and get smarter with her throws, or else she would be wasting time and lives.
And then, the horrific happened: Alessandra had decided to use herself as live bait. Mei, horrified, swung her weapon towards the distracted horde that had began to advance on the other young huntress. ”Don’t!”
[/i] She caught a vampire squarely in the ribs, knocking him away from Alessandra, and wrapped the chain around another vampire’s neck as it backlashes from the last hit. With a significant pull she broke its neck, then summoned the whole of the chain back into her hands. She couldn’t see Alessandra any more; they had all crowded atop of her. ”Alessandra!”[/i]
For a brief moment Mei wanted to rush in and save the girl from the inevitable. She was so distracted that she didn’t notice that two vampires had tried to pounce her until Kazimir had shot them both down. The thuds their heavy bodies made as they hit the floor reawakened her rationality. Mei ran back to the steps of the factory, swinging the meteor hammer and knocking yet another vampire away from Lotte and Theodore. ”Let’s get back inside!”
Mei’s heart sank when Theo refused. ”Theo, please,” she says, but she knows her words would have little effect. Only Kazimir could get through to him, and fortunately for the lot of them Kazimir knew that well. He snapped at Theo, breaking the other vampire’s resolve to stay, and Mei was both grateful and felt a little sorry for Theo. Once Theodore and Lotte had gone inside, she glanced up at Kazimir. ”We should get in too, Mr. Woods.” Lest they lose one more precious friend.

What is this? It seems the vampires are backing down. One by one, the creatures evacuated to the shadows and are slinking away. Taking their final snaps at the adversaries, they grabbed hold of the dead fighter's body and pulled her back with them as they left a blood trail in their wake. Some hobbled, injured from the battle. Others sprinted, eager to disappear from the slashing swords and fangs of the supernatural students. The city had been theirs, and they had lost it. Wild screams and howls careened through the air as each level E bolted away from the battle before them.
( this is the last round of this event. please post your exit from the thread. thanks for participating! )

[/style]
Bang! Another vampire fell. Three bullets left.
The scent of blood was beginning to irritate him. It had been a long time since he had been around such a large quantity of blood, both hunter and vampire. Even over the sound of tearing flesh and slurped-up blood from the feasting level E's, Kaz could hear his little brother crying as he ran into the factory. At least he was away from the danger, but it hurt to know that he was the direct cause of Theo's tears.
Bang, bang! One shot left.
Mei came up to him. She was fine, thankfully. "We should get in too, Mr. Woods." No matter how many times someone addressed him by that name, it still felt strange... like wearing borrowed clothes that didn't quite fit. "Yeah, I'm coming," he muttered in reply as he backed up to the door after Mei and began to close it.
Bang! And just like that, his clip was empty, but the door was shut.
Now that there was something protecting him from the enemy, he switched out the magazine, replacing the full one in his pocket with the empty one feeding his semi-automatic. He didn't look at Lotte or Theo, unwilling to deal with both their fear and his anger at present. After a few moments, it quieted outside. Were they... leaving? Cautiously opening the door a crack, Kaz observed the scene. A thick ribbon of blood trailed from where Alessandra initially lay to the darkness of the shadows, and the lingering level E's scampered away.
Was this what victory felt like? It wasn't the least bit pleasant. In fact, it was downright sickening.
A hollow creak escaped the door as Kaz shoved it open again, revealing the empty battleground. All was silent, save the feint ringing in his ears. They had won, if forcing a retreat was indeed the purpose of their mission... But that still meant that they could regroup and return if they wanted another snack. Finally, Kaz turned to look at Lotte and Theo; his voice, now devoid of anger, was tainted with a touch of bitterness. "I'll take you two back to the school. It's not safe for you out here." Understatement of the year.
And with that, he began walking back to the school, gun still in hand.
ooc:: bleh... sorry if I implied incorrect assumptions about any of your characters' actions. I had to get Kaz out of there in one post. I can always edit it if you want

he heard the door closing behind him, but he didn't move. right now, he was unable to look at kaz or even anyone else. what had started out with him trying to prove how useful he could actually be, ended in a disaster. tightly clinging to his stuff bunny which, apparently was scolding him for his behaviour, he stopped shivering for a moment as all the noises outside stopped.
theo wanted to puke. the whole situation was downright terrible and by now, his tears made it hard for him to breath. but not even that wish was granted tonight. he ignored kazi's phrase for the most part, only standing up and turning his body towards the group again, his head facing the ground. he already was the biggest walking embarassment around, so he didn't need anyone to see his red face and his swollen eyes right now.
starting to move outside slowly but steadily, he made sure not to walk too close to kaz. [/style] [STYLE=font-size:10px; padding-left: 12px; font-weight: bold]words: idk tags: team TALK-Meg notes: <3 credit: template made by oxymoron! of btn[/style]
