I am surprised you came. Said the high class voice of a woman with a slight eastern European tinge to it, I must say I was not really expecting you would.
I was hoping it would lead to something. Said Alice speaking as she always had using her mind alone and not her mouth she however didnt have an eastern European accent in her voice. Alice Sat down on a bench on the edge of the beach in Nerva, she was a pale girl with long black hair her eyes hidden behind mirror lensed red tinted sunglasses she was dressed in civilian clothes, a baggy jumper and some jeans. She was trying her best not to stand out, her sister however was doing all she could to make an entrance. Two large plodding robots came out of an ally way their footsteps clunking noisily as they approached and stopped in front of Alice one standing guard each side of the bench, they looked tough, maybe this was a mistake after all to come here all alone. Then her sister showed herself, she was a pale woman like Alice, well they were vampires being pale was rather normal, it was annoying to be frequently called a goth for it Alice shook her head clear, why was she always thinking of such obscure things, her life could be in danger here, anyway she watched her sister approach. Her sister had slightly longer hair and a shadow seemed to be constantly forming in her wake casting a black smoky substance over her sisters form, so she had learned the darkness shrouding that helped Vampires hunt at night. Her sister was dressed in a leather corset a skirt and silver looking gloves, shoulder guards and boots, all were decorated with skulls with red eyes, her sister also didnt cover her eyes instead painting them with black makeup so they looked like dark pits. Alice readied herself and tensed up and said, So Contessa tell me really why I am here, I find it hard to believe you just wanted to talk. Alice had no doubt in her mind something more was going on here, Contessa nodded and said, How very perceptive of you my dear, watch your tone, yes though you are right, I did not just want to talk to you, I also wanted to make you an offer.
She hated sounding so stereotypical but sometimes there was only one way to put things Alice sighed and said not really caring about the answer, What is that?
Contessa laughed slightly it was a unpleasant sound that seemed to chill Alice to her core, Contessa knew this was going to be difficult but maybe she could let this go on a little more, she always liked to play with her food and she went on in her usual arrogant sounding voice, Oh whats the rush my dear? Why must we move along so hastily, you are safe, my servants will look after us.
I am sure they will. Alice said dryly, she knew they were as much here to be ready to stop her if she tried to leave too soon than as guards from the wondering gangs around here.
Contessa decided to go for the kill, So I hear you have been making certain friends in the hero organisations. Said Contessa with a interrogative tone to her voice.
Yes, one or two why?
Alice tried to be as calm as she could be, this unnerved her that her sister knew so much.
Contessa went on knowing she had gotten Alices attention but not wanting to give away too much, I would not get involved in politics my dear, its a very dangerous game.
Alice shrugged here it went again any second now there would be a rant and she said with a hint of pride in her voice, I was never a bully I picked the side I thought was right, Paragon has moral principles, true some heroes forget that, it is better than what you have here though any day of the week.
Contessa snorted in annoyance how had her sister became so weak minded? Contessa said in a rather annoyed voice, Arachnos believe that might is right, I believe that too, it is the only way of life, the weak die to empower the strong.
There it went thought Alice now time to defend the good guys verbally of course, she said in a equally annoyed sounding voice, Only if the strong believe that, why cant the strong help the weak and in the end everyone will be far stronger as one?
Contessa hissed a bit, Anyway enough politics, Like I said its dangerous. She said starting to pace a little to calm herself down, there was no need to show her sister how annoyed she was getting at these weak words.
Alice not wanting to try her sisters temper too much changed the subject a little, How did you know anyway, that I had became a official hero?
Contessa smiled secretively as if she would tell Alice such a thing and she said enigmaticly, I have my means.
Alice went on the offensive getting rather annoyed with all this she could tell her sister was toying wit her, So what is the point of this meeting, come on tell me this offer before we start a silly argument about ideology.
Always in a rush, you spend too much time around humans, you are picking up their time table, we need not rush my dear, we live so much longer, we can spread our time out more, anyway, yes to the point, I can offer you protection and a place in my organisation, you could become very powerful as I have, think of it.
Alice said in a surprised voice, her sister really thought this was even a option?, You want me to join Arachnos after what I have just told you, and after you telling me not to get involved with politics?
Cintessa went on more or less ignoring her sister, The lines are being drawn, soon it will come to war, everyone knows it will happen eventually, Arachnos will show no mercy, even if the UN will.
Alice said with the anger rising in her voice, Yes because they lack morals, I will fight on the right side, to the death if I have to, I will never join Arachnos they are corrupt and evil!
Guard your voice sister, You should be grateful I am being so kind to you, after how I was treated because of you.
Alice sighed oh great this again she said in a quiet voice. Because of fate, it was a sad thing yes, but theres always choices to be made, you made the wrong ones.
Contessa hissed angrily, Oh that is so easy for you to say, our parents kept you, what did they do to me cast me away like a piece of rubbish!
Alice let her anger get the best of her, Maybe they were right to! Look at you now the great big bad Countess Leeches, the one who is famous for how she ruled her little sick empire, you could change, you could be so much more than what you are.
Coontessa Hissed once more her sister was always so full of pretty speeches, Very well see what you want to see, I will not continue this argument with you, I suppose that means the offer is off?
You bet its off forever! Snapped Alice, If thats all sister I will be going.
Contessa nodded and snapped back, That was all sister, go run away back to your Paragon and your band of pathetic heroes.
With that Alice got up and walked away heading back to the longbow base and no doubt from there to a transport back to Paragon, Contessa watched her leave silently, stupid, such a stupid waste of a pure blood wasting her life being some sort of hero, she would come begging one day, Contessa would be waiting as would others.
There was the sounds of armoured boot steps behind her and she said without turning, Ah Huntsman Orcon I was wondering where you were hiding.
So let me guess. Said Orcon in the usually arrogant Arachnos way , She said no like we knew she would.
For now yes she did, like you said that was expected, but the seed of doubt has now been sewed into her mind, we can wait it out she will come to us eventually.
Sure she will. Said Orcon doubtfully
Orcon had no interest in vampires joining Arachnos he was only here has a favour to his mentor and hoped to get out of here as quick as he could, it looked like his chance had came, he was glad this meeting with this Countess Leeches had been short. Contessa turned around and headed back to the ally way, she though to herself as she left till we meet again Alice.
((sorry hope this was not too messy, hope you like it or find it entertaining, I realsie this may be in the wrong section, i was confused and its very late it is sort of rp though..ish...))
The end is just a new beginning, Goodbye all my coh friends and even the enemies, its been a blast I will miss you all. Thank you Paragon team, you gave me a home from home I will always appriciate it.
