Deri's petite body crashed to the ground after the leader threw her, but it didn't take much to roll out of it and jump back to her feet.  "Are you sure you want to play, little kitty?"  Lowering herself to a crouch, the vampire let a growl rumble from the depths of her throat as the leader began his attack to her.<br/><br/>"It's Kevin," he said behind grinding teeth.  Although he knew he would have a better chance of surviving a mass of hunters than winning against her 'noble' blood, Kevin still ran at her.  As he ran, he slipped his hands into his pockets and swiftly threw his poison tipped daggers straight to her heart.<br/><br/>"My pleasure," she said in a very mocking tone.  The smell of the poison on his daggers were more than enough warning for Deri; jumping to the left, she watched them pierce the ground behind her.  "You have amazing power," she began with almost a seductive glare, "and I want it."  Her movements were faster than he could imagine, and it was too late for him to react before she was right in front of him with her hand in his chest.<br/><br/>Kevin's lips curled into a smile and he looked down into the small majesties glowing green eyes; her smell was like lavenders and her skin was milky and rich - like cream.  "Majesty," he whispered, his hand reaching up and touching her soft red lips, "thank you for taking away my misery..."  The blood he held in his body tricked down her wrists and arms as she stared up at him.  "I've been waiting a long time to defy someone of your power...it's just...been so easy killing and taking and feeding - just not easy dying."<br/><br/>Deri's smile faded when she finally realized that he was seeking his death, rather than just being a gang leader, a tyrant, and a vicious killer.  Looking down at her hand, she knew it was too late.<br/><br/>"Can...I have your name, Majesty?"  His request was followed by his rough hand lifting her gaze to him by her chin.  "After that, please take my blood, my power, my memories...my name."  The strength in his legs gave from under him and he fell to the ground, causing Deri to go to the ground with him.<br/><br/>In shock, Deri's eyes fluttered before she finally looked back into his eyes and honoring his request.  "I'm Deri, born of European blood, one of the few hat survived the plague, a natural vampire."  The feeling of his fingers grazing her skin made her heart ache, and she remembered the hundred of turned vampires that she had taken lives and power from, but none effected her as much as this Kevin.<br/><br/>"Please, Deri, end my misery, I want to be with my family again..."  With his request, he bowed his head and rest it on her shoulder.  Blocking her sorrow, Deri closed her eyes, extended her fangs and sank them deep into his flesh.<br/><br/>Within seconds, his memories poured into her mind and body; his beautiful bride on their wedding day, her pregnancy, their baby boy - then they went to the horrible visions of him walking into his trashed home to find his wife feeding off their three-year-old son and his vicious attack against her.  She watched his transformation after he ran from their home town and ran into a 'noble' only to be spared and turned into the disgusting animal he killed his wife for being.  The remaining decades he lived were filled with loneliness, blood, and regret.<br/><br/>Taking his memories, his power, and his name, Deri pulled from the corpse and slowly laid him down on the desert sands - standing to her feet with tears in her eyes and blood running down her chin.
