The room was dark. The air was thick. And the woman was beautiful... Beautiful and scared. Dimitri held a slight, pale woman in his arms and whispered soothingly in her ear in his native tongue. She was a young feeder, no more the seventeen. For whatever reason, his constituents thought the younger and more pure the prey the better... He couldn't exactly disagree. He slowly, lovingly ran his teeth over the nape of her neck and felt her shiver, felt his excitement increase. No matter how regal his race may act, they were beasts through and through, and this was the time he could relish his nature. Suddenly, without warning, his teeth pierced the inexperienced feeder and she cried out in surprise. His arms acted as a steel cage, keeping the prey in place, saving her from unnecessary injury. As he took long draws on her vein she sleepily sank into his bite as his mental suggestions took away the pain of the feeding. Almost as suddenly as it all began, he was done. He'd decided to be merciful and let the slight thing live a bit longer. He did, however, drain her nearly to death. He was kind at times, but that shouldn't be mistaken for being a good person.<br/><br/>A knock sounded on his office door. "Director, I have important news to share."<br/><br/>With a hiss Dimitri looked into his desktop mirror and saw an eerie pair of silver irises and dilated pupils staring back at him. "Regina, haven't I told you to<span style="font-style: italic">stay away</span>when I am feeding?"<br/><br/>"You have sir. However, you might find this information... stimulating, sir."<br/><br/>"Vkhodite!" After being commanded to enter, the secretary Regina walked in and pointedly stared at the crumpled, panting girl bleeding on the floor. "Shall I... deal with that, sir?"<br/><br/>"Leave it. I've closed her wound and she doesn't need to be rustled."<br/><br/>"Do you fancy her, sir?"<br/><br/>At this Dimitri suddenly appeared in front of Regina, a few inches from her face. Startled, she jumped and he quickly grabbed her behind her back and leaned even closer into her face giving a toothy, fang-filled smile. "Why so curious lovely? Jealous?"<br/><br/>Imperceptibly blushing, Regina scoffed and looked away. "Director please! This is completely unprofessional!"<br/><br/>"And isn't that more exciting than stuffy files?" He allowed his Russian accent to really come out, making his words sultry and alluring. He leaned into Regina's neck before she smacked him on the head with her folder. "I sweah tuh Gawd, ah will end you!" Sufficiently angered, Regina let her origins show as her own original accent came through. Dimitri simply laughed at her antics. He liked to get her riled.<br/><br/>"So what is this important file of yours," he asked as he stepped over the sleeping form of the feeder. "Read it yo'self."<br/><br/>Still smiling, Dimitri opened the folder, looked inside, and quickly lost his good humor. Baring his teeth, he threw the folder on his desk. After a few moments of silence he looked up to Regina with his calm demeanor back in place. "Organize a community meeting immediately. I want every vampire in this city at the meeting grounds in two days. Make the message say mandatory. Bold it, underline it, italicize it, and make sure it's in red letters. Some of these imbeciles don't know how to get their butts in gear."<br/><br/>As he plopped down in his chair and started typing again, Regina simply rolled her eyes and left to get to work.
