[hiroku]

Hiroku thanked the bartender for the drink, sliding a silver sickle across the counter to pay for her drink. It was her first drink, but after two sips, Hiroku was already tired of the taste. She had never really been into drinking. Sighing slightly, she left the mostly-full glass on the counter and stood. Hiroku put on her coat and decided to head out into Diagon Alley.

She exited the Leaky Cauldron, not bothered by the fact that it was late. The streets of Diagon Alley were mostly empty, though, which unnerved Hiroku more and more as she continued to walk. The further along on the cobbled street she got, the less people there were, until Hiroku was entirely alone.

It was then that she started to get anxious. She looked over her shoulder every few seconds, convinced that someone was behind her. Hiroku knew it was ridiculous, but she couldn't help but feel like someone was watching her. There was just something off in the air that night. There was a sound behind her and Hiroku screamed, jumping around to face...

Isabelle stepped out from the alley, a small smile on her thin lips. "Tsk tsk, Miss Hermasaki, don't you know that it's dangerous to be out alone after dark?"Isabelle said, her tone playful almost. She thirsted greatly, she was looking for a meal, and this one had wandered so willingly into her grasp. Quick as a flash, Isabelle snatched Hiroku's wrist, grasping as tightly as her vampire strength would allow her to. "You might get hurt," Isabelle added, her voice close to a snarl.

[hiroku]

"Shit," Hiroku muttered, but before she could even move, Isabelle had grasped her wrist so tightly that Hiroku was sure it was about to break. She yelled in pain and squirmed, trying to get away. Hiroku couldn't believe her own stupidity. After what had happened to Wolfgang, she should've known to go nowhere alone, even a place that had always seemed so safe, like Diagon Alley.

"You know, ever since your brother became a nice morcel, I felt something was... missing," Isabelle said, reverting her tone back to the near playful one. She was in a good mood that evening- perhaps she might be nice and snap Hiroku's neck before drinking from her, so she wouldn't feel the pain. Or perhaps not, she loved to hear the screams, how they grew weaker as she fed and eventually faded entirely. "One thing that you'll find about me is that I always finish what I start," Isabelle continued, and then yanked Hiroku closer to her, not paying any mind to how fragile the human form was when compared to her strength. She inhaled deeply, the girl was sweet, she would be divine. "You are so tempting," said Isabelle, using the tip of her wand to brush the hair away from the side of her victim's neck.

[hiroku]

A flicker of anger aroused in Hiroku as Isabelle mentioned her brother. She realized that she was about to go the same way as him. Hiroku longed to be able to put up a solid fight, but Isabelle's grasp on her was far too strong, no matter how she squirmed. She screamed as Isabelle yanked her closer to her and pushed back the hair around Hiroku's neck. Hiroku struggled against the vampire, but to no avail. She tried to yell as loudly as she could for help, but Hiroku didn't think anyone else was around to hear her.

[gaspevil]

"It really is darling how scared you are," said Isabelle, a demented half-smile playing at her thin lips. She paused, she would leave the girl in anticipation for a while, make sure she knew that death was coming for her. "But nobody is coming," Isabelle said, her voice low, "there is no hope left." Isabelle leaned in close to the side of Hiroku's neck, her pulsing jugular vein tantalizingly close to her sharp fangs. She made sure to allow Hiroku to feel her cold breath, in a few seconds the girl would be dead, and Isabelle would have ger meal.

[hiroku]

Hiroku stopped her screaming when she felt Isabelle's cold breath on her neck. She knew that she was only seconds away from death and probably should have kept yelling, but she found that she couldn't even breathe, much less make a sound. Paralyzed with fear, Hiroku was left waiting for the vampire to kill her.

[gaspevil]

As always, the gears in Isabelle's head were turning. She thought vaguely that instead of killing Hiroku she might make a follower out of her. Isabelle had very much missed having Raychel under her near total control, it might be nice to have a servant again. She decided against it, Hiroku was strong-willed, she could feel it. No, she would just drink her sweet blood... "You'll be with your brother soon," Isabelle breathed, and then without any further hesitation sank her fangs into the young woman's neck. She began to drink, the blood hot and sweet going down her throat.

[hiroku]

Hiroku found her voice once more the moment Isabelle's fangs pierced her neck. Without trying, she screamed louder than she ever had before in her life. It was well past the point of any hope, but Hiroku was no longer thinking rationally. She vaguely heard her screams subsiding as Isabelle took more and more blood. Hiroku's body went limp in the vampire's arms.

[gaspevil]

Unable to stop once she had started, Isabelle drained Hiroku's body of every last drop of blood. Years upon years of being a vampire she knew how to feed without wasting even a tiny speck of the precious fluid. Isabelle looked down at the cold, dead form in her arms, a small smile on her lips. It had been rather enjoyable, relishing in the screams until Hiroku grew weak to continue them, and then finally fell limp. Not even bothering to close the eyes of the body, Isabelle tossed it aside, as if it meant nothing at all. Turning on her heel, she apparated away.
