Blood of the Innocent: Part One

Jason smirke a bit. "something tells me I have what I need" he said hiding the book in his jacket as he left. he woul read more later when he was somewhere more secure.

Once Jason was out of the library, a group of men walked in, muttering something about needing more information before they could dig up the tomb. They had the air of vampire elders, and were definitely not to be trifled with.

Jason realized they'd proably want the book he just borrowed. He took off full sprint, not really paying attention to where he was going.(likely to run into someone if you want entrances))

((she's still buried, silly.))
Jason ran to some large stone cliffs, with one or two large boulders over what might be cave entrances. Nothing was out where he was, save for a few small woodland animals.

((well how was i supposed to know? ><))
Jason noticed the boulders. He figured it would make a good place to hide. he moved the boulders just enough for him to squeeze into the cave. he finally turned around to examine the cave.

The moonlight slipped effortlessly into the cave illuminating it with enough light to read more of the book. Inside the cave were long-dead skeletons, laying in carved out spots in the wall. In the corner, chained to the wall with silver shackles and with a silver crucifix hanging around it's neck, was one that looked like a dried out body, that looked as if it were waiting for water to fill it with life again.

Jason reopened the book and started reading again, not really all that scared of the skeletons, or the dried out body.

The book said that Bartholomew was from what is known today as England, and he was supposed to be buried in one of the many cave-tombs. It also told that he had given the vampire a name, since it never had one of its own, which is where the tradition of vampires being renamed by their sires began. It said he had named it Adare, after himself, and Cross, after what it couldn't stand to be around.

Adare cross" he murmured allowed. "unique name" he admitted looking around. "i wonder if this is his tomb or at least like it" he said.

Dominic stepped back to his pile of books as the other Elders arrived and tapped the top of the stack. The book he had placed there for later was missing....

Adrian smirked a bit and chuckled as he walked with Dianne to the library.

The elders looked between each other. None of them had touched it. They turned as Dianne pushed her way through the double doors, swinging them both out of her way effortlessly, "Well, nice seeing all of you again. What's the occasion?" she asked.

Jasno continued reading his book, wondering if it would explain the shrivelled corpse sitting so close to him.

"Adrian, reduced to paying for sex now?" Dominic said, frowning and ignoring Dianne's greeting.

Dianne frowned, "I don't appreciate the tone, Dominic. For your information, Adrian and I have been together for a while."

Dominic shot Dianne a glare. "Speak when spoken to."

Adrian grimmaced a bit and puta hand infront of Dianne, as to tell her to let it go.

Dianne started to say something back to Dominic, but felt Adrian's hand over her chest and shut her mouth firmly, an agitated expression on her face.

Dominic smiled contentedly in an expression that almost looked like a little kid triumphing after seeing another punished. "What are you here for?" He asked.

"Dianne and I wanted to find out more about the Tomb." He said

"Oh, you're telling the fodder now? Well, I think I have a few books here that might help a tad, but one is missing...." He said, motioning to a stack of books. Among it were many different books, such as the Torah, Bible, Lesser Key of Soloman, and various other books that either had a demonology theme or a vampire one.

Dianne kept her fists clenched tightly as Adrian looked through the books, her eyes never leaving Dominic for a moment. The expression on her face was pure rage. Adrian would know that this was killing Dianne.

Adrian sighed and kissed her cheek before looking through the books. "I'll make it up to you later, just calm down a bit."

Dominic just smirked at Dianne as if he had won some petty little battle.

Dianne nodded, sitting down and sighing. She looked over Adrian's shoulder at the book, "Mind if I take a look?" she asked.

"Not at all," He said, showing her one of the books he had picked up.

Dianne looked through the book, then tapped Adrian's shoulder, "This looks like those burial cliffs near Manchester." she said, pointing to a crude drawing in the book talking about where Bartholomew's family was buried.

Adrian nodded a bit. "We'll look into it."

Dominic rolled his eyes and chuckled a bit. "Manchester? That has nothing to do with what we're looking for."

Dianne cast a threatening glare at Dominic, then looked back over to Adrian, "If you don't mind, I'm going to head that way to do a little exploring."

"Then what are you looking for?" Adrian asked.

"I'm not going to tell you with it around." He said, looking at Dianne.

Adrian sighed and shook his head as he stood up. "I'll go with you."
