[open] Mission?

Aries glanced at the Moroi, was he serious? There was no way Tenshi was serious about the feeder, he was a Strigoi. "No feeder would allow me near them with a hundred foot pole. Plus I am a monster." Aries said quite simply, his tone suddenly had no emotion in it, as if he was denying himself from his dhampire side completely in those few moments.

The Strigoi once again stared at Tenshi, his new friend was constantly suprising him. "I hope so to." Was all Aries stated before grabbing his cloak from the bench and motioning for Tenshi to follow him.

Saying nothing, the assassin continued on his way past the bar and the other buildings. Then he started walking through the newby forest, heading towards the place he was staying at. Basically, he was taking a roundabout way to the hotel on the other side of town. People tended to freak when they saw him.

Once at the hotel, he led Tenshi inside to a very basic room with a single bed, dark curtains hiding a closed window, dresser, and TV. All were untouched and there were no personal items. Aries had all he needed on him, there was no reason for anything more. Closing the door behind Tenshi with a last scan outside, Aries finally answered his friend, "The Master is very powerful and strong. What the Master offers me is the only thing that keeps me sane, the only thing keeping me from completely becoming the monster I have become." Aries started looking over the now blood stains on his cloak. He frowned and knew he was stuck here for another night to wash it.

Aries took notice of the fact that Bryan appearantly had been very naughty these past couple months. This was a very small town and now there were more Strigoi then humans here. It was a very very bad sign, one that needed to be reported to the Master immediately...with no mention of Tenshi, of course. He was not just going to put Tenshi out on a silver platter like that, especially when it would be Aries himself who had to kill him, or try. If there was anyone who could kill him, it would be Tenshi. The battle between them would be very long and very hard. Especially because Aries would have no choice but to use his weapons.

Aries sighed deeply, and without looking Tenshi, he stated, "He offers me a way of life. Most Strigoi live thier lives with no more purpose then feeding and the occasional fight. He offers me the chance to be reminded of my old life...To not forget who I was in this..." Aries suddenly became very angry, his fangs showed with every word he spoke, his eyes glittered with rage, "This unnatural, cruel, unwanted form of constant anger. It is so hard to constantly fight what I have become!" Aries was so furious, he actually took out a dagger and threw it the wall oppitiste him. It struck and stayed firmly in place, three quaters of the blade was in the wall. The handle didn't even wiggle.

His new friend had the sense to stay silent throughout the slip of Strigoi that Aries hadn't been able to escape completely. Within seconds that only a Strigoi could accomplish, Aries yanked the blade out of the wall and was back in the exact spot he had been standing in only a second before. He put the blade back where in it's original place.

The assassin watched Tenshi kill another Strigoi with ease. He shut the door again without a word and went back to where he had been standing. "My job does not allow questions, only orders and the completion of those orders. There is no chit chat or small talk in between. Though there are rumors from that the other assassins found out. The Master is well over a thousand years old. That is why he is so powerful and why he has control. He is literally the oldest Strigoi in the entire world. The assassins do his dirty work and work directly for him once he finds out you've started missions for others. Once the Master gives you a mission, you are his and his alone."

He paused and answered Tenshi's other question, the emotion gone from his entire being once more. "That is because they are less then two months old, all of them. They are completely consumed by bloodlust, blood is all they think about. They live, think, and breath blood. Bryan has been busy." Memories flashed in his mind, killing his family and ending with that ten year old boy. That had been his bloodlust time, normally, Aries would have cried out in the agony of it all but his Strigoi body wouldn't allow him to.

The Strigoi nodded and actually smiled at Tenshi's jokes. He would probably never laugh at them, unless he miraculosuly became a dhampire again but he did smile.

A few questions actually popped into his head, things he was curious about. He figured he had answered enough of Tenshi's questions to seriously mortally wound both of them if the Master ever found out. Now it was his turn. "What are you doing here and why didn't you try killing me?"

"I don't feed or kill Moroi or guardians unless I'm ordered to. I also don't feed or kill from women or....children..." Aries almost hissed out the word, though he didn't elaborate on why he did. He also wouldn't answer Tenshi if he asked why. That was one thing Aries refused to talk about.

"What is up with all the weapons? As far as I know, Moroi used guardians for their protection. You are an assissin as well, correct?"

The smile on Tenshi's face told Aries that he expected the question, which also caused a shadow of a smile from himself. Aries nodded, understanding. "Who are the two?" Tenshi looked like he could beat anyone except for maybe a trained Strigoi, like himself. All of the other assassins were former guardians, like himself but only two others carried weapons like him. A very few actually had the nerve to tell him outright that he was a fake assassin and that he cheated because of his weapons. They obviously were the the worst of them all.

Aries thought for a few seconds, wondering if he should ask the question and then decided to anyway, "Why are your eyes red like a Strigoi's?"
