Fanon:Azura vs Vladislaus

Part 1: The Spy
Azura was a woman of pure beauty that was supernatural to behold, her eyes glowed a glorious icy blue, it's enchanting effect put many minds in a hypnotic stasis; her words held by mystical forces were like a leader above the crowd. It is believed she was a royalty of the world long lost, older than any vampire... even Vladislaus Straud, the founder of Forgotten Hollow...

Vladislaus was known to have feared Azura, who could blame him? To say Azura was strong would be a massive understatement, there are vampires over a century old that could punch a wall down- to which she could pummel a building to the ground, there's vampires who could run faster than the wind in the strongest of hurricanes- she could be there faster than light...

As strong and as fearsome as i tell you she is, you might be shocked to find Azura actually prefers to live a quiet life in her humble abode. It's not a mansion unlike most vampires who shower themselves with the highest quality of antiques to shadow their ever-so vain personalities. It's big- but not too big; it's exquisite- but not too exquisite, she loved living by herself and never found the need to find a lover or have a child to call her own, she's been through enough to not go looking for eventful evenings. Although, she does love a good fight- just rarely so.

Azura, being a whoever knows how long year old Vampire, would usually be so emotionally numb or miserable due to her immortality or how such a curse it is to live as a bloodsucking fiend as alot of her brethren vampires have ever so made clear of their suffering with this "curse". Azura, however, loves her vampirism.

She fills her home with mirrors located in every room of the house, being a vampire with no reflection that mind seem queer but in fact it's because she lives by two rules:

1. Always face your existence - never shy away from yourself, embrace whatever you are and then you truely are capable of living... or... unliving... the fact she doesn't see her reflection almost every second of every day at home is a constant reminder of her vampirism and who she is as a person

and 2. Never turn your back - being a creature with no reflection it's beneficial she can see every inch of every room in her home as to keep a close eye on.

But what about other vampires? surely they could sneak up on her if they somehow manage to get past the fact she has brilliant spacial awareness. No, Azura has set a rule that any vampire to disturb her within the boundaries of her home were to be punished... and the fact her front door has garlic traced around the frame- to which she is immune to unlike many other vampires.

However... no matter how many rules she calls out to the other vampires or how much she guards her home, there is always one daring to bend ever so slightly just to get what he wants.

One sunlit day while Azura was painting in her backyard, to which was filled with dead trees and cracked dirt, she would always paint her backyard as if it was filled with life, fluorescent green leaves and saturated lime green grass to hold onto that hope that one day her wonderful garden will be restored.

While painting she looked back to her backyard to get her mind to create projections of what it would be like- she painted one tree, looked back- painted a bush of wonderful strawberries, looked back... she repeated until suddenly she noticed something different in her backyard...

Someone stalking there, peering from behind the dead tree, but not a moment longer did the figure notice he was caught. He started to turn and run but he was immediately hit by something like stone around his neck. It was Azura... just like that, she was on the back porch of her house painting and a few feet into her backyard without hesitation.

Her grip around the mans neck revealed he too was a fellow vampire, his face severely disfigure to be like a bat with a leaf nose. "Show me... your real face..." Azura said with a stone cold expression.

"This is my normal form" the man said with a strained voice, her grip so tight around his neck almost cut of his airways "your normal form looks like this?... how ghastly tragic" Azura said as she tutted with slight head movement.

She pulled him closer to her face "now tell me who sent you" Azura questioned the struggling man in her grip "no one sent me" he gasped, still straining on her grip.

"Oh please, no one is stupid enough to come here after i sent warnings to the entirety of the vampire populace, no. No ones that stupid... unless... moneys involved- someone hired you to spy on me." Azura pieced the puzzle together with a magnificent smirk.

"Obviously you're not a Master Vampire by the reaction time it took you to notice i saw you so you don't have perfect sun resistance like me- that means you're using good ol' Sunlight Reversal Potion... that means you have a rather limited time before your skin in my hands becomes charred" Azura pondered with ever so elegance of her eyes darting off to think and going back to the mans eyes.

"Now tell me, who sent you!" Azura demanded with a stern tone, the man tried one last wriggle to get out of her hands, but it was no use as her grip was like titanium metal welded together around his neck.

"Did they pay you to keep that quiet too?... for god sake, i'm going to have to compel it out of you" Azura said with a slight annoyance. "But vampires can't compel other vampires!" the man's voice breaking through his tightening lungs ushered out, "i'm not like most vampires..." Azura said before she lowered her head to make her eyes meet his completely.

Her piercing blue icy eyes radiating with an alluring stare, "tell me who sent you" she whispered as like a moth to a flame the words flooded right out of the mans mouth as she loosened the grip around his neck so he could speak clearer.

"Vladislaus Straud sent me 30,000 simoleans for me,my husband, and my kids" the man said in a deep monotone voice within a hypnotic trance.

"Digusting!" Azura sneered at the end of his sentence to which the man winced "i'm gay ok!" the man cowered into her grip around his neck. "Not that, idiot... he really thought thirty-thousand simoleans is what i'm worth" Azura silenced him as she had to think for a second.

"You said you had kids?" Azura questioned with a slightly raised eyebrow "3. Julia, Stefan, and Derick" the man quickly said his eyes not leaving her face but still afraid of getting her temper raised.

Azura's cold look softened at the mention of kids as then she took one large breath, "go. I'll make sure he'll give you the money for what you did, you were doing it for the money and you didn't want to do it so you're free" Azura said with a sympathetic tone as she let go of him.

The man layed there wincing slightly moving "go then!" Azura said slightly annoyed as then the man started running with a black vapour leaving behind.
