Where the Cursed Dwell

Babel had nearly grown bored enough to leave, finding no interesting patrons to make into a thrall, or even someone to mercilessly drain of their lifeblood. However, the sudden commotion turned her aqua eyes' focus on the dance floor where a pair of scuffling girls seemed to be engaged.

Babel's bright smile never waned as she slowly slipped out from her booth and tilted her head to peer at the small congregation forming around the two girls. It seemed as if the loligoths had expected some sort of fight and had no problem merely watching it unfold. Babel didn't have a problem with it either. Just the opposite, in fact. A fight might mean blood and the Mistress of La Borde was feeling quite hungry.

All of Mina's unrealistic expectations were instantly confirmed by the eye-patched girl's proclamation. Truly she was facing some manner of malevolent creature, and surely nobody but she knew the secrets necessary to defeat it. The welsh witch scrambled to get back onto her feet; a task made more difficult by her impractical shoes, poofy skirts, and restricting corset. Victorian gowns were not meant for brawling.

She had half regained her feet, though her balance was still tenuous, when a vicious slap caught her on the cheek with a resounding Smack! Mina stumbled forward onto her hands and knees, her cheek turning red and stinging along with her pride. Her left hand reached down to bunch up her skirts, allowing her feet to gain some traction against the floor down as she was, and did the only thing she could think of. Launching herself forward clumsily she thrust out her talisman bearing hand to shove the evil creature back with a zealous cry of "Begone foul creature!" It wasn't exactly a spell, per se, but she was really banking on that charm doing its job.

"HA! Didn't I tell you that won't- OW!" Sayumi cried out as a palm holding a small, hard object smacked her right in the face. Staggering backwards, one of her hands instinctively shot to her jaw, where the charm had opened a tiny gash on her lip, releasing a small trickle of blood. The pain, though unexpected, was enough to pique Noro's violent appetite, her mouth curling into a wicked smirk as she looked at Mina. With the prospect of a real fight with this foreign girl right before her eye(s), she trembled a bit with anticipation.

"Ho~oo... Maybe you're not that bad after all... Yeah, you'll be fun!" With the ensuing confusion still occurring amidst the surrounding crowds, the meager club security had it hands full. With supposedly nobody to interrupt them, Noro-chan pounced towards Mina, claws bared, attempting to tackle her to the ground.

Bebel's eyes widened as she watched Mina smash her medallion into Sayumi's face. She held her breath, waiting to see what happened. She was practically drooling as Sayumi grabbed her lip. Babel's nose twitched from the first irony tingle that invaded her nose and she shot like a bullet at Sayumi.

"Finally, I can feeeed!" She chirped happily, her grin never leaving her face.

Babel intercepted the leaping girl and tackled her to the ground herself. Her aqua eyes were wild and she had a bright grin on her face. She pushed her head forward in search of that most precious substance and locked her lips around Sayumi's bloodied lip, sucking fervently in what must have looked like an awkward, yet weirdly affectionate kiss.

So focused on her prey before her, Noroiko was taken with complete surprise as she was knocked right out of the air and slammed into the hard dance floor, knocking away even more of the other club denizens. "What kind of-MMMph mmmMggghhhhh!" Before Sayumi could even register what happened, her new mystery assailant, an unfamiliar woman with bright blue eyes and a toothy grin, had forced herself upon her soft lips, pulling the confused chuuni into some kind of messy kiss.

Blushing fervently red, Sayumi squirmed and flailed, absolutely flustered by this strange intimacy and totally oblivious to its true intentions. She tried to scream her objections, but most of it was muffled into incoherence by this new girl's lips. "Mragmmgh Stop...! mfffpphh! Gett opphhh!"

Clearly unnerved by such an awkward display, even the angry bystanders that they had crashed into just looked the other way, not wanting to be involved in whatever the hell was going on.

Mina was already steeling herself for the inevitable counter attack from the foul creature that she had so skillfully unmasked. Finally gaining proper footing she braced herself, her delicate features curling into an angry sneer, as she watched the girl ferociously launch herself forwards. Before the moment of impact, however, something strange happened. Well, more strange than anything that had already happened.

The little snowbird, the pale and pretty girl who had so entranced Mina before, cried out something she hadn't quite heard and crashed into the eyepatched monstrosity. For a fleeting moment Mina believed that she might have found a kindred spirit, a fellow champion against the growing darkness... but then the beautiful stranger began to vigorously kiss the demon. Was this some kind of succubus, then, that she faced? Were these two creatures partners in their nefarious crimes, or was she witnessing an act of demon on demon violence? Perhaps this was what demon love looked like.

For a moment she was frozen in confusion, indecision, and perhaps a bitter smidge of envy. Through an act of sheer will she managed to unroot her feet from the dance floor and set about the task at hand... destroying these creatures, whatever they were. Not knowing exactly what else to do she sprang upon the pile of girls and gore, straddling Babel's back as she sucked on the other's face.

Placing a hand on the back of the interloper's head she clutched one of her many talisman's with the other and loudly began to chant another ad-libbed spell, "Foul and unclean beings! By the might of the goddess Hecate I cast you out of this place! Begone and trouble me no more!" If this didn't work, of course, it meant she was going to have to resort to more temporary, if drastic, measures.

"Nnhn... ahm... mmm!"

babel hungrily lapped up the small bit of blood from Sayumi's lip. Her tongue lapped at it like a fountain, while her lips curled around the wound and sucked on the girl's lower lip, gnashing her teeth against it and trying to open it up a bit more. Her moans were lewd and she was more focused on that than anything in the world, ignoring her new host's writhing and even barely batting an eye as Mina's weight pressed on top of her.

Even the hand on her head was shut out. Only Mina's words made babel stop. She opened her mouth, a trail of saliva and blood dripping from her lips as she lifted her head to smile in confusion, her eerie grin reforming now that she was no longer feeding. She turned her head and eyed the woman, now suddenly realizing she was mounted.

"What...." She chirped happily. "Hecate!? You'll have to do better if you dare attempt to banish a mistress eternal! Who dares interrupt my feeding!? Have you come to be my next ghoul!?"

Babel's eye turned and looked at the talisman. As long as it wasn't a cross, she'd have no fear of these pathetic human's silly charms.

As her incantation failed, and in miserable fashion, Mina stared down at the creatures beneath her around her billowing skirts that half enveloped them both. The eyes of the 'mistress eternal' froze her in place for a moment with a mixture of dread and fascination. What was it about this abomination that effected her so strangely? She felt almost entranced as she stared into the immortal snow-bunny's eyes. Wait, did she say 'ghoul' and 'feeding'? Her already fair skin grew paler still. A vampire?! What did that make the other? No time for that now. It did explain the girl's hypnotic quality, however.

She was definitely going to have to get home and prepare some more powerful spells, maybe memorize a few good hexes too. But, for now, she had to survive that long. "Undead parasite! You'll never turn me into your fawning little slave-bride!" That's what they did, right? The lore on ghouls was so confusing! Saving research for later she did the first thing she could think of, and that was to drop her charm back down onto her bracelet were it hung and take a hold of the creatures hair with both hands. With a grunt of exertion she would try to hit the demon in the forehead with the vampire. She didn't know exactly how she was going to get out of here in one piece, but she did know that she was much happier with both of these girls pinned down between her legs.

Babel hissed at Mina's words, but her eerie smile never wavered except as she licked the few drops of Sayumi's blood that still lingered on her lips. "Humanity is mine to do with as I will!" She snapped back and yelped when her hair was grabbed.

"Unhand me! How dare you t-oough!"

Babel was forcefully headbutted into Sayumi and slumped against her. "Ughh..." She said as their lips touched once again. Babel began to hungrily lick Sayumi's lips and smiled wider. She craned her neck as much as she could and grinned at Mina. "Hahaha! Human, you really are a fool! While I have the ability to feed, not even your most powerful weapons can harm me!"

As if to prove her point, she turned her head and licked Sayumi's neck. She then opened her mouth and bit down as hard as she could.

Now the crowd around them, after hearing the wild girls' ravings, thought they had stumbled upon a group of LARPers or a dedicated cosplay group. No longer upset, most of the loli goths started to feel like they were witness to some kind of Gothic horror flash mob role play and eagerly murmured amongst themselves and watched on eagerly.

"My lip?  She's sucking my lip!?" Sayumi's thoughts slowly began to gather themselves.  "She's drinking my blood...  A vampire?  There was another oddity here as well!?"  Through the commotion, she heard the voice of that weak mage girl from earlier, but couldn't quite make out what she said, only that it distracted the vampire momentarily, giving Noro the desperately needed chance to catch her breath.

"Ugh...  You chose your victim poorly!  Not even your immortal body will-OGHH!" poor Noro-chan was again cut off as Babel's face was slammed into her's, pushing them into another forced kiss.  Knocked for a loop once more, by the time her senses came back the vampire's fangs had already clamped down on her neck.  "Ooooooouuuughhhhh..." she moaned, a bit aroused by the tingling pain.  Struggling only a little bit, Noro-chan protested, "This girl's body...  Is already mine...!  Feed all you like, but we will never become your thrall...!"
