Summary; The collection begins as 5 residents of the City vanish to be unwitting victims for a macabre and most deadly social event.

Log;

Staring out into the darkness of the night, Rido Kuran smiled in eager anticipation of what was to come. The City had been too quiet, and with his intended bride's recent escape from his reach, he needed to find something to assuage the frustration and inconvenience that this caused him. It'd just been good timing that he had such an occasion planned already, a dinner in recognition of his newfound friendship with the Master.

The guests had been invited, and a suitable location found in the underground that could serve well as a dinner hall of sorts. All that was left, was the entertainment...

The vampire's eyes scanned the city as he took a leisurely walk amidst it's citizens. They were all potentials as far as he could see, weak things who's only value lay in how they might be of use to the Pureblood's desires. It had always been like this, even back home. The City was only different in so far that it offered more variety, and it's people were less willing to offer themselves to him. Not that it mattered to the vampire in the slightest what they wanted. All that mattered was that he could enjoy himself for one evening, reveling in the blood and fear of his victims.

A new acquaintance by the name of Aion was likewise moving through the city, assisting in acquiring enough food for the event. The Master was too unreliable in his current ravenous state as far as helping out with this particular chore. But with Aion's help, it was unnecessary to involve him any more than he already was...

Soon they could begin the real fun. The hunt was just the start...

"True, I never did get your name. An oversight on my part... sorry about that~." And still he smiled, relishing the slight thrill that the encounter was giving him. Rido loved it when his prey struggled, when they cried out for help, or pleaded with him to stop. And from the looks of it, this one would not disappoint him.

Already he was growing fond of her.

"My, my..." His voice was laced with a growing excitement, the barest of whispers as he spoke his thoughts aloud. "... what's going on in that little head of yours~? Oh, yesss... let's play~."

Oh shit. This was going to be bad.

Still...

She moved forward, the preternatural quickness one of the few advantages being a shifter gave her and did a perfect spinning forward kick, aiming straight for his head. For humans such kicks were useless, too showy and not truly workable in a fight, but for someone with her speed and slight extra strength they could be massively effective.

Rido didn't even bother to dodge, nor did he do a thing to defend himself. After all, what could possibly hurt him?

The blow easily struck his head, whipping it to the side from the concussive force behind it. And yet he remained standing, his mouth curved into that same sadistic grin.

"... Not bad, not bad~!" His head slowly turned, the bones in his neck cracking slightly as he turned his glowing eyes back to face the girl. "But, I think that makes it my turn now."

Mercy was thinking some pretty darn strong mechanics' power words now. She'd hit perfectly and nothing. She was screwed.

She shifted into her coyote form instantly, struggling out of her clothes, and took off towards the woods as fast as her four feet could carry her. This was bad. This was really bad.

The Pureblood stared in surprise as she shifted and sped off into the thick undergrowth of the forest. She was quite an amazing thing, and it delighted him to no end that he had stumbled across a creature such as this...

But the girl wasn't the only one who could shift their form. And as much as he hated having to cut the game short, time was limited before his guests would be arriving for dinner.

Encased in shadow, his body broke up into a flurry of dark wings. A swarm of bats that sped through the trees after his prey. She would not escape. Not now that she had captured Rido's attention.

Bats. Why did it have to be bats?

She ran, feeling like her heart would pump right out of her ribs from the fear. Maybe if she could just get into a thick enough area of woods...

And already the flapping wings overtook her, obscuring the landscape in front of her. A single hand solidified in the blackened mass and launched down to wind his fingers tightly around the animals neck. She would go no further if the Pureblood had any say in the matter.

Mercy yelped and struggled furiously, but soon had to stop or be choked to death. She subsided, whimpering and panting and utterly terrified.

Solidifying fully, Rido crouched over her prone form. His eyes were wild with a sadistic delight, and it took every effort for him to keep his vampiric strength in check. She was to be entertainment... food for the dinner, and it would all be so wasteful if she didn't live up to the task.

He leaned down, his voice a purring whisper in her ear. "What fun you are, my pet! I almost want to keep you for myself~..."

She growled at him.

Or tried to. Mostly it came out as a series of whimpers, her eyes wide with terror.

What was going to happen to her?

Ignoring the growls, or perhaps not even registering the sounds at all, he continued. "But you see, you're needed at a very important engagement. And as much as I'd like to continue to play with you, well... the guests are far more important than you are."

He pulled back, sitting on his heels as he watched her. "Now... why don't you be a good girl and change back~."

No way in hell was she going to shift. No. Way. In. Hell.

That got a true growl out of her.

"Tsk, tsk~" He shook his head in mock disapproval. "Bad dog. You would do well to listen to me when I speak." Reaching out with his other hand, he dug the sharp length of one fingernail into the furred flesh of one shoulder.

"I said... change."

She yelped as his fingernail sliced into her. She knew changing back would be the wrong choice, but if he kept cutting into her she wouldn't have much choice at all.

Still... maybe he needed her in one piece more than he needed her human.

At least she prayed to God he did. And refused to change.

She was delightful in her obstinance, and Rido couldn't help but to let his pleasure show. As he pressed his finger even deeper into her skin, he idly wondered just how much attention she could take before she broke. It was an interesting thought, and one that he would have to consider for another time.

His voice was clearly at ease with what he said, entertained at the prospect of such a sadistic experiment. "Can your body withstand my reaching in for your heart? Or will you die like any other animal? Shall we find out?"

She howled as his finger sunk in deeper, feeling it slice through the muscles of her shoulder.

He wasn't going to stop. Mercy believed that now. He was willing to continue this until she shifted or until she was dead.

So she shifted back to human, her howl changing to a more human whimper, shivering in the cold and with the pain. "Please stop," she begged.

Tilting his head, his mismatched colored eyes watched her body slowly transmute back into human form. It had been a shame that he'd had to stop, but she was needed for other things.

At least she understood her place now and would be less likely to cause problems. "... alright. Since you asked so nicely, I'll stop."

He gave her what on any other person would have been a gentle smile, and his hand brushed along her bare back as if he were stroking a beloved pet.

She shuddered under his touch, but was too scared to pull away. She did dare to sneak her left hand up to cover the wound made in her right shoulder.

Leaning in, he took a moment to savor the scent of blood filling the air. It was a small wound comparatively, but the blood still flowed freely. Apparently, her kind wasn't as resilient as he'd hoped...

It was time to finish the matter, he'd wasted enough time on this idle pleasure. So focusing his will, he rolled her mind with his words. "Why don't you sleep now..."

Mercy wanted desperately to protest, but instead she found her eyes closing and everything going black.
