Diana Lune’s Story

Arthur’s Note: Talofa everyone! I just wanted to share a short story about my OC. If you guys read my OC’s bio then you may know of what this one is about! This is the an inspiration from a game that my dear mutual friend @welldonekhushi had introduced me to! And I LOVE it! It is called the “Vampyr”! You can go ahead and checked it out! So anyway, I have created a short story that was related to her background story! So I hope you guys enjoyed it! Thank you

“My love…?”

“Antone? Antone, what’s going on? Where are you?”

“Forgive me my little moonlight….I won’t be able to come home…”

“W-What are you talking about? Antone, WHERE are you?!”

“I love you…”

“Die you LEECH.”

“Who’s that? Antone? ANTONE?!”

A sudden sharp pain had awoken the young female Ekon as she gasped. Feeling the cold sweat on the side of her head and breathing so heavily. Diana placed her hand on her chest while gripping onto it. “What the bloody hell was that?” She said in a very fearful tone before looking on the side of the bed. She saw that it was empty. Her husband was not there. That is when she started to feel her cold dead heart beating faster.

She quickly got off the bed and slipped her clothing on as she grabbed the scarf that was hanging on the coat stand. And quickly walked outside. She had started to go from streets to streets, ally after ally, one person after another asking them if they had seen her beloved. But sadly she can’t find him nor does the people know where this man is.

She started to walk over the bridge, almost giving up hope to find her lover before a sudden striking feeling had hit her. She looked to the side to see something glimmering from the light.

The woman had started to walk over to investigate before she froze in her place. Her eyes widened and her heart suddenly felt a stinging aching pain.

“No…” Is what she said from what she has seen.

“No…no no no…” The Ekon quickly ran to the glimmering object before kneeling down. Picking up a green emerald ring. The one that her husband was wearing for their marriage. The one that they have concealed of their love.

“No no no no no no! NO!” She looked around on the ground seeing black dust everywhere. “NO! NO! NOOOOOOOO!” She started screaming so heartbreakingly around that area. A realization had struck her that her husband, her lover, the man who she had loved. Is gone…he is truly gone.

She hugged the ring close to her chest while crying her heart out. How did this happen? Did they find out about her lover’s identity? Who did this?

“Ma’am? What are you doing out here late at night?”

The young woman was still on her knees, hugging the ring as she wiped her tears.

A man walked over with his weapon as he looked at the woman. “Ma’am, it’s not safe here. You need to get inside of your home. These bloodsuckers are still around this area.” The man said as he tried to reach out for her.

Then the young Ekon suddenly has a feeling that this man.

THIS. MAN.

Had done something to do with her husband. Her lover. Her ANTONE.

She suddenly changed her expression as she started to smile a bit. “Apologies…I…I was just having a moment, sir.”

The man was looking at this woman suspiciously but started to shrug it off. “Alright then, perhaps I can help you to get home safely?”

She slowly stood up, still holding the ring in her hand, and faced him with a small smile. “Thank you. I would kindly accept your offer.”

The man had walked with her over the bridge and onto the street. “I’m sorry to ask this again but what ARE you doing here?”

“I was just looking for someone but I believe they should be at home by now.” She answered before she glanced to see this man is carrying a weapon. “I see you’re carrying a weapon. Are you some kind of guard?”

The man nodded in response. “I’m a Vampire Hunter, ma’am. Part of the Priwen Guards.”

That name had suddenly caught this young woman's attention. “A Priwen Guards?” She stopped before looking at him. “I apologize. But my beloved and I just moved in last week and that name sounded quite intrigued. What are they?”

“Oh. Well, us Priwen Guards are the organization of hunting and killing those bloodsuckers. We made sure that us humans are safe from these drastic monsters.”

“Oh my.” She pretended to sound surprised but to tell you the truth. She felt very offended and disgusted by how he talked about her kind. Even when he talks about her husband’s kind as well. “Tell me, who is in charge of this organization?”

“Ah. Well, it used to be Sir Eldritch but now he entrusted his leadership down to young McCullum. Heh. Maybe he is young but he is full of skills.”

Diana nodded as she took all of this information from this man. “And also, what happened in that area? I’ve seen some black dust over there.”

The man had looked in the direction of where the woman had mentioned. Then he started to point out. “That black dust is from those VAMPIRES. Our leader had found him and cornered him where we wanted him.”

Diana then saw the man grinning. “...and you killed him?”

“Of course! Our mighty leader had shown NO mercy upon these dark creatures! It’s a great victory for all of us!” Then the man paused for a moment before smiling awkwardly at her. “Apologies. Didn’t mean to bursted out like that.”

The woman just smiled at the man as she shook her head. “It’s alright then. It is a glorious victory for your kind to kill my husband.”

The man laughed a bit. “It is indeed! It was quite-” He suddenly stopped before he looked at the woman as he saw a ghost. “W-What did you say? Your…husband?”

Diana started to smile at him, showing her fangs as she slid the ring into her ring finger. As she started to speak. “You know, not every vampire is a MONSTER dear sir. BUT.” She looked at the man, seeing him backing up as he gripped onto his weapon. Seeing his eyes was with fear. “The only monster around here is YOU and your MEN.”

Soon she quickly teleported near to this man and grabbed him before sinking her fangs deep into the skin of his neck. Hearing the poor man screaming in pain as he tried to squirm away but soon later saw the world around him. Started to blur out before hitting onto the cold cemented ground.

Diana had started to breathe with such satisfaction. Tasting the blood from her enemy who had taken the life of her family and lover. After that, she suddenly heard other men shouting.

“I heard a scream somewhere here!”

“Quickly! Before we lose them!”

The vampire growls to hear their arrival. She had looked around to find a place to hide. Before teleporting herself into the dark corner. Watching the guards passing by as they found the body of their fallen comrade.

“Jesus christ…he’s…he’s gone…” One of the men had stepped forward as he showed his sadness. Onto the dead corpse that was in front of them.

Diana saw the tall man was gripping onto the torch and seeing him gritting his teeth. “Bloody hell…these BLOODSUCKERS are going to pay for this!”

“Enough! Let us just take his body and head back to headquarters. We will report this to McCullum. And I’m sure he won’t be happy about this…”

The Ekon watched these men take the body of the man of whom she had killed. She just glared at them as they walked away and she stepped out of the shower. The silence in this atmosphere had started to scream louder as she exited from this scene.

She finally had come back home and once she had closed the door behind her. She started to fall onto her knees and hugged herself tightly as her tears flowed out of her eyes and had dripped onto the wooden floor. She had let go of her crying of agony and grief. The crying of pain and loneliness inside this empty home that she was supposed to share with her lover.

Everyone that she had known. Everyone that she had loved. Her parents, her younger siblings and her husband. They are ALL gone and DEAD.

Soon that shed of tears had turned into HATE. Her eyes started to turn from brown to red as she slowly stood up. She could feel the burning desire in her vein and into her heart as she looked at her ring on her finger.

“Don’t worry, my love. I will avenge you and our family. I will make sure that EVERY single guard in this town will PAY for what they have done.” Diana whispered in a very dark tone manner as she started to plan how to take care of them.

—------------------------------------------

The next evening, when the sun had started to set down. An older man was in front of the building, smoking. Before he saw someone walking up. He got his gun ready before standing straight, still having the cigarette in his mouth. “Halt. State your business.”

He then saw it was a woman wearing a black outfit with black long boots and black trench coat. She then started to smile at the man.

“Greetings, my dear sir. I am here to join your little club. You’re wishing to end those vampire scum am I correct?” Diana said with a smile as she was just trying to charm him.

The old man looked at her confusingly but still kept his guard up. “Yes. We do. But you will have to talk to the boss.”

“Ah. Of course, then may I have a word with him? It’ll be quick.”

He was still debating before hearing a door open.

“What is going on?”

Diana saw another man coming out from the door. He looks quite taller than her and has a very strong body. And telling of how the old man was making way for him. She knew that this man was their leader.

She just smiled at him and started to bow down a bit. “Dear sir, I’m Diana Lune. And I’ve heard GREAT things about you and your men fighting off the dark creatures of the night. It has caught my great interest in joining with you and the others.”

The man in front of her was looking at this strange woman as he was scanning her.

Diana had stayed calm as she waited for his response.

“......come inside. We’ll discuss it in my office. Anyone can join. Men AND women.”

She smiled at him as she was very grateful. “Of course, sir.”

He nodded at her and walked back inside expecting her to follow.

And soon Diana had followed this man inside before seeing him stopped.

He had turned around to face her. “I’m Geoffrey McCullum. And I hope that we’ll work together nicely.”

The woman only kept smiling as she nodded. “Nice to meet you, McCullum sir. I'm excited to be working with you.”

“Then let’s begin. Shall we?”

Get to know about Anastasia before going through the short fic!

The halls of Pembroke Hospital were quiet, the usual sounds of coughing and groaning fading into the distance. Pippa and Anastasia had just finished their rounds. Both of them were exhausted, but they’d stolen a moment of peace with together outside the hospital for fresh air as they two were seated on a table. Pippa poured two cups of tea, sliding one toward Anastasia, who was staring off into space again, her fingers nervously tapping against the edge of the table.

Pippa watched her for a moment, her curiosity bubbling over. “Annie.” She said, breaking the silence. “May I ask you something?”

Anastasia blinked, shaking off her thoughts. “Of course. What is it?”

Pippa hesitated, as though picking her words carefully. “Well.. what do you think of Doctor Reid?”

Anastasia froze. Her first instinct was to laugh it off, but she could feel her face heat up. “What do you mean?” she asked, trying to sound casual.

Pippa tilted her head, giving Anastasia that knowing look. “I mean, professionally, yes, but also as a person. The way you two act, it almost seems like you’re.. well, like sweethearts.”

“I am not in love with him!” Anastasia blurted out, her voice sharp and almost too loud. She immediately regretted it, turning away as her chest tightened. The words felt wrong the moment they left her mouth. She clenched her hands, trying to steady her nerves.

But the thoughts wouldn’t stop. "Why did I say it like that?" She wondered. "Why does he stay on my mind? Is it the way he talks, the way he looks at me? There’s something about him.." She closed her eyes, as the questions swirled around in her head. "But no. I’m not in love. I can’t be."

“Annie?” Pippa’s voice snapped her back to reality, and she felt a gentle tap on her arm. “Are you alright? You went quiet on me.”

Anastasia shook herself out of it. “Yes.. yes, I’m fine,” she said quickly, though she knew she didn’t sound convincing.

Pippa raised an eyebrow. “You’ve got that faraway look again. No wonder Matron’s always telling you off for daydreaming.”

“I can’t help it if my mind wanders sometimes,” Anastasia muttered with a sigh, crossing her arms. Her voice wavered with frustration and weariness, but there was also a flicker of self-doubt.

Pippa smiled gently, but she wasn’t letting it go. “Wherever your mind wanders, it seems to wander straight to him.” She leaned forward slightly, her tone more serious now. “There’s no harm in admitting you admire him, Annie. You’ve been through so much.. in context, both of you have. It’s not a crime to feel something like this.”

Pippa reached out, taking Anastasia’s hand in hers. “Feelings don’t wait for permission, love. They come whether we’re ready or not. Just be honest with yourself. Whatever happens, I’ll be here.”

Anastasia shook her head, though her voice softened. “Admire him? Maybe..” She admitted, her words careful. “But love? I don’t know. I don’t think I have room for feelings like that.. no, not now. Not with everything going on. People are dying, Pippa. They’re counting on us. I barely even have time to think, let alone.. to feel.”

Anastasia’s lips quirked into a faint smile. “Thank you..” she said softly. But even as Pippa’s words reassured her, a familiar face crept into her thoughts again—those piercing blue eyes, that calm, commanding voice.

And as the silence settled between them, Anastasia couldn’t help but wonder if she was lying to herself after all.

Why Did swasea steal Barker.

It is a comical fic, based on my headcanon on Carl being a nemdor. Despite being a comical one it explores some actions of swansea and how he earnt his title of troublemaker

JONATHAN: Swansea I really appreciate the weapons you give me.

SWANSEA, happy: Don’t mention it!

JONATHAN, nervous: Yes but I couldn’t notice, you give me a gun called Barker. The notes you gave me about the weapon explained the gun used to belong to Carl Eldritch. Is just a copy of the gun, isn’t?

SWANSEA: No, Jonathan I stole that gun from that motherfucker.

JONATHAN, shocked by Swansea language: Why?!!

SWANSEA, angry: Carl KNOWS why!

FLASHBACK. SWANSEA WAS PART OF EXCHANGE PROGRAM BETWEEN PRIWEN AND BROTHERHOOD. SWANSEA BECAME ALSO FRIEND WITH GEOFFREY, BUT BEING OUTSIDE MAKE SWANSEA AWARE ABOUT SOMETHING WASN’T NORMAL IN PRIWER.

SWANSEA,Leaning over Geoffrey's desk, conspiratorially: You know, Eldritch, he's… peculiar.

GEOFFREY,Eyes glued to a file:Peculiar? How so? He's the best damn hunter we have.

SWANSEA: Best? Yes. But… have you ever seen him eat anything other than tea and soup?

GEOFFREY,Scoffs: He's a man of simple tastes and weak stomach.

SWANSEA:Simple tastes? Weak? The man could wrestle a vulkod and then calmly sip his Earl Grey on the top of their body. And those hunts! Weeks on end, alone. Against powerful vampires. Never once he come in my office for an injury!

GEOFFREY,Raises an eyebrow: He's a legend, Swansea. A force of nature.

SWANSEA:Force of nature? Or something… else? Have you ever seen the way he interrogates vampires? Like a wolf circling its prey. And those eyes… cold, predatory…like he is watching his meal!

GEOFFREY ,indifferent:You sound like you've been reading too many of those cheap vampire novels.

SWANSEA,Ignoring him:If he decides that day torture isn’t funny enough… he seduces them.

GEOFFREY,smirking: Carl and seduction cannot be in same sentence. He is a man of action not of physiologic game.

SWANSEA,irritated: He clearly avoids to use his... charm mode around you but if you talk with older hunters they can confirm you that Eldritch would use every advances he can.

They told me stories about … Eldritch honey-trapped vampires. Male, female, doesn't matter. They practically melt into a puddle at his feet. Geoffrey, vampires are drawn to power but in different way. A powerful human is something vampire want to own and subdue, but in front powerful vampires they would become submissive. And Eldritch… he exudes power and subjugates them with few simple words. It isn’t normal!

GEOFFREY,Chuckles: You're seeing things, Swansea. Carl's just… intimidating.

SWANSEA,Frustrated: You're all blind! You've grown accustomed to him. You see what you want to see. But I know what I've seen. I've seen the way he moves, the way he hunts… it's not human, Geoffrey. It's… something else.

Geoffrey, calmly: He is just a skillet hunter. You are going to tell me Madeline, our second-in-command, is strange too?

SWANSEA ,Shocked: You're starting to sound like you've been hit in the head one too many times on those hunts. She is too powerful.

GEOFFREY, taking a cigarette: How so? She's just incredibly skilled.

SWANSEA: Skilled? Yes. But… have you ever seen her pick you up? From the floor? You're not exactly a featherweight, Geoffrey. You're built like a Greek statue.

GEOFFREY, Sarcastically: If I didn't know you better, I'd think you were body-shaming me and suggesting women can't be strong. She just… likes to pick me up. She practically raised me, after all.

SWANSEA, Slowly: She picks you up like you're a child. Like you weigh no more than five pounds! She is supernaturally strong! Like a Greek hero. (Pauses) Like she could effortlessly throw a grown man across a room.

GEOFFREY ,Chuckles: Funny, Carl painted her as Atalanta in his painting. With wolves instead of bears, of course. He told me wolves are more appropriate for her.

SWANSEA, The ring of suspicion intensifies to mention of wolves: Carl? Atalanta? Wolves? I need to check if your brain wasn't damaged on your last hunt! She always eats her meat almost raw.

GEOFFREY, Calmly, nonchalant: Ah no, sometimes she eats it directly raw!

SWANSEA ,Staring at Geoffrey in disbelief: You… you don't see anything strange about that? All those guards, they're all blind!

GEOFFREY ,Confused: Blind? To what?

SWANSEA ,Frustrated: To the strange things around your bosses! Guards have been so focused on the hunt, so cautious around vampires, that you've become blind to the unnatural things around you, even your own leaders! I don’t believe all my life I have always been the dreamer , the eccentric one… now I am voice of reason and I hate it!

ANOTHER FLASHBACK

Carl slammed his fist on the table, making Swansea jump: Swansea,You are the most infuriating member of the Brotherhood I've ever encountered! You've completely violated the protocols for exchange between the Priwen Guard and the Brotherhood! I'm sending you back with a glowing report... on your ability to cause chaos.

Swansea, speechless with fury, could only glare at Carl.

Carl continued, his voice surprisingly gentle:You've been a thorn in my side, a constant irritant. But you have a certain… determination. So I think you deserve to know the truth."

Swansea, bewildered, stammered: What truth?

Carl smiled, a chillingly sweet smile that made Swansea shiver:You were right, Swansea. I’m not human. I am a Nemrod."

Carl shown his fangs and Swansea, ecstatic, sputtered:You… you are? But… why are you telling me?"

Carl smirked and retained his fangs: Because no one else would believe you.

Swansea exploded: You son of a ...

Carl interrupted, his smile fading: Language, young man. It's not my fault your reputation precedes you. Everyone thinks you're obsessed with vampires because you want to sleep with them. Swansea, embarrassed: I don’t want to….

Carl cutting him off: And you're reckless! Utterly reckless! Learn some self-control if you ever want to succeed.

Swansea, deflated, slumped in his chair. He was right. He was probably going to be labelled a lunatic. He couldn't accuse the leader of Priwen Guard to be a vampire. But knowing the truth… it was a bittersweet victory. So years later Swansea stole Barker gun for his research about Nemdors. Unfortunately, Swansea couldn’t prove his theory yet but at least had he could spite Carl by stealing his dear gun.

Chapter twenty five is up: “A Dark Corner and a Moment of Desperation”.

Summary: Those who die in darkness, find new life in the darkness; this is the first thing Rachel Amber learned upon awakening, as something less human, or more depending on who you ask. She gained a new mother in something ancient and terrible and now must heed her call, but something from her old life is calling her back, and she finds herself in need of new friends to help her.

On the flip side, reports of supernatural happenings in Beaver Creek lead to an attack on the small community, leaving Daniel Diaz and Chris Eriksen stranded and hunted in the wilderness; and nothing is going to stop Sean Diaz from ensuring his brother's safety. Both Sean and Rachel find themselves part of the same centuries old conspiracy, that boils down to a game played by a malevolent goddess, the war with her son, and the many pawns within.

Now part of the “Fog of Worlds Saga”.

-----

We're picking up where we last left Rachel the previous chapter, with her on the warpath to find Jefferson at his hideout. Which is something I've been looking forward to writing, and what I bet a lot of you have as well. 

Originally this was going to be a more action oriented chapter...but there wasn't much action to dish out. On the upside, we character reunions I've been looking to get too. We also catch up on True Colors cast - I've been meaning to feature Ryan, Charlotte, Ethan, etc for a while.

We also see what the Vampyr cast have been up to (which I've been meaning to do so for a year now), as well as Vampire!Nathan (who I waited TWO years to catch up too).

I may take another hiatus after the next two chapters, which I plan to wrap up a lot of the current arcs with. At least, I intend to wrap the American Guard of Priwen storyline. Think of it like a "mid season finale".

Content Warning: While this chapter isn’t as action oriented as I intended, there’s still plenty of vampire and gun related violence and mild gore in the first segment. Counter Content Warning: 85% of the violence inflicted in this chapter is towards Mark Jefferson and the AGP Goons hired to protect him, so who gives a shit ?

Well also have more flashbacks to the night of Rachel’s death, so I guess we can include “Canon Character Death”.

[hysterialevi]

So my blog has been focusing on HoA and COD stuff for a while now, but I've been considering revisiting some of the Vampyr content I used to make.

Im not sure if anyone follows me for that game, but I ditched a Vampyr fanfic I was working on a couple years ago that I'd really like to get back to (Blood on the Looking Glass).

And when I say get back to, I don't mean continue. I mean start over - change the point of view, rewrite some of the characters, build the plot more, etc.

I just think Vampyr's an incredible game that I haven't shown nearly enough love on my blog, and I wanna see if anyone's interested before I get started.

Summary below if you want to know more (WARNING - Major spoilers ahead):

After turning the esteemed vampire-hunter Geoffrey McCullum into a leech himself, Jonathan Reid leaves the plagued ruins of London for the crowded streets of Paris where he can grow his power even more.

Meanwhile, McCullum - now half corpse and half man - is left to deal with a newfound thirst; one that, if exposed to his fellow hunters, would mean his demise.

Desperate for a way out of this ordeal, McCullum follows Reid into France - both in hopes of confronting his maker, and finally putting an end to the beast that slipped through his fingers one year ago.

I 'm removing some dialogues from my work where Carl Eldritch isn't dead but he is a legendary nemdor and his having a duel with Dragon!Reid because he has turned Geoffrey. This dialogue breaks too much the tension of story,plus i want to leave some mysteries about Carl. In this dialogue Carl askes if Reid has turning-in-vampire kink because in less of week Reid has got 3 progenies which it is a very high number for newborn. Reid is insulted by this comment.

"Maybe it's true," Carl admitted, his voice laced with a chilling amusement. "You don't have a 'turning kink'."

Reid felt a fleeting moment of relief wash over him. He wasn't some depraved monster, driven by twisted desires.

But Carl quickly shattered that illusion. "I mean, you didn't turn the old man who Ascalon proposed you, maybe your taste are more refined," he observed, his voice low and dangerous. "But you turned Swansea. You turned Geoffrey, against his will. And then there is Sean, that Skals you 'created' by giving him your blood to prevent him from losing his mind."

Reid felt a blush creep up his neck. He hadn't considered the implications of his actions. He had turned Swansea, a brilliant but reckless scientist, into a creature of the night. He had turned Geoffrey, his enemy, his rival, into a creature of darkness. And he had 'created' Sean, a creature of shadow and pain, a being born from his own blood.

"'You turned three exceptional men," Carl continued, his voice dripping with sarcasm. "And all of them, quite easy on the eyes, I might add?"

Reid felt a surge of anger, but he quickly suppressed it. Carl was deliberately trying to provoke him, to push his buttons.

"You're suggesting I have created some kind of… harem?" he asked, his voice laced with indignation.

Carl chuckled, a low, amused sound. "Jesus Christ," he muttered, shaking his head. "I've seen some things like that in my long life, but I've never seen a vampire build a harem within a week of his own creation."

Reid felt a blush creep up his neck. He was speechless. He hadn't considered the implications of his actions, the fact that he had turned three powerful individuals within such a short period.

He had been driven by a thirst for power, a desire to expand his influence, to create his own legacy.

And now, Carl was pointing out the obvious, the disturbing implications of his actions.

" My boy was the most handsome." Carl bragged about Geoffrey again, like he bragged about his abilities and personality. Reid suspected Carl was that type of father who would brag about everything about their children,seeing only perfection in them.It would be funny if Carl wasn't trying to kill Reid.

Unlife is Strange chapter twenty four “April Showers”

This is yet another example of me having to split chapters due to how lengthy it was, but a lot was happening in these chapters and story that I felt it necessary. We pick up were the last left off, with Rachel discovering our favorite teacher is in “Protective Custody”.

 As a result of the split, this chapter ended up being a lot more action orientated than I intended it to be. Though most of it is just hyping up Rachel finally going after Jefferson and finding out he’s on the loose. 

This also ended up being pretty Lyla focused, as Rachel and Daniel pulled her into the fray in the previous chapter.

There was a lot more I wanted to include here, including; Sean attending a hearing after surviving North Bend; what Reid and Ashbury have been up do in their absence; catching up with Vampire!Nathan; a Steph and Chloe reunion; a visit to Haven Springs with Alex being pulled into the fray...and Jefferson being forced to face his vampiric grooming victim.

Also, with Double Exposure around the corner, you may be wondering if it will be included in this story/“verse” like True Colors was before it. We kinda get our answer in this chapter, but it’s pretty brief so I thought I’d share the excerpt that addresses it.

And finally, Content warning: This chapter includes vampire violence, gun violence and police brutality for all intents and purposes; including children being harmed. As well as nudity a brief sex scene between Sean and Cassidy - probably the second WLM smut I’ve written in my stories. 

This chapter and the next will also feature Mark Jefferson, and brief flashbacks of Rachel’s mortal death...and more violence.

Also, I have begun writing the first chapter of Screaming Until Dawn.

Chapter 9 - The one where they get positively sloshed.
