Part one- The Awakening
Nyxy groaned after being healed from the dog attack Jeeves had escorted her to a banquet to celebrate with the other four, they had found the papers Drake sent them out
to. But that was all she remembered. Her head hurt like hell and her body felt even worst, slowly she opened blood shot eyes and winced. Her room was thoroughly
trashed, she did not have time to think on that. Getting up she noticed she was naked, groaning again she shifted threw the debris in her room finding her red dress
slipping it back on. Her long hair was still standing up in some places and she ragged her fingers threw it before stumbling to the door. Jeeves was waiting for her, it should
have unnerved her she was not used to anyone waiting on her but she found him oddly comforting. "Food" she grunted out, the male only nodded in understanding then
gestured her down the hall. Making her way to the dinning area, she briefly noticed Doc who had an odd look about him yet his satisfied face made Nyxy shrug at his
demeanor, 'he probably started drinking early.' She noticed Dee with her hands in her head, she didn't remember much from last night but the female didn't come across
as the party hardy type. 'Maybe she over did it.' She also noticed others standing about, they kind of reminded Nyxy of window fixtures, there to look at but nothing more.
She didn't bother with pleasantries just walked to the table eying the food. Though she was starving nothing on the table food wise appealed to her. As if he was inside her
head Drake approached, "I see you are awake, do you remember anything from last night?" Nyxy shook her head "just partying and lips lingering on my neck" she glanced
into his eyes as she said this. Drake grins slightly "yes you accepted the offer I made to you and the others last night for completing the task I assigned." Nyxy nodded to
him "yeah about that I have questions but I am starving..." He smiled "of course child, but you may notice you do not hunger for what is on the table." Nyxy stared
curiously at him "what's that supposed to mean?"
Drake gestured over to the men and women who were standing around and smiled "last night you accepted my offer to make you powerful. You are now one of my kind a
kindred being and you will no longer hunger for mortal food. You will need sustenance, and it will come from the blood of others." Nyxy frowned "you made me a boogie
man?" Both sides of her family had terms for such soucouyant on her father's side and demon walker from her mother's side, she was already thought of as a demon child
for her mixed blood by them, so Nyxy could only imagine what they would think of her now. Drake's voice breaks her thoughts "not a boogie man, a kindred you will learn
in time all the benefits of your change." Nyxy crosses an arm over her chest, but she could not ignore the hunger anymore. "So I just feed upon them..." She felt a brief
sense of leeriness, but walks up to the group of humans "which one of you are the strongest?" she knew her accent could be intimidating so she wanted to see who did not
flinch at her question. Of all the "herd" as they were called three stood without flinching. Nyxy spoke again "speak up!" A male tall semi muscular with Nordic like features
bowed to her and approached. Nyxy looked back at Drake "well he didn't speak but it will do..." She looked into his eyes as he tilted his head to the side and she instead
grabbed his wrist, the neck was too intimate for her to take food from. she licked his wrist to let him know she would be as gentle as she could and stared into his eyes as
her fangs bit down into him. True to his approach the male stood fast as she fed, though she felt voracious Nyxy pulled back only feeding on so much backing up. The male
looked weakened but still stood standing as if he expected her to come back for more. "You go on and sit boy I've had me fill of ya." Nyxy watched as he went to sit and
nods "Your control is impressive, most who feed the first time have a hard time fighting the inner beast inside." Nyxy did not look at Drake as she answered "I am the child
of a proud island male and a female who could trace her ancestry down to a brave samurai, discipline is one of my strengths." Her words earned her a nod, Nyxy could not
help wonder if she could really cope with this, but she knew she could not go back to the life she once knew. "Now that you have fed we will meet up to discuss your
future." Nyxy stared at Drake this time "like work?" He smiled "like the business you wish to own, you are now apart of the elite, it is time for you to reflect this. Now if you
will excuse me, there are two others I need to tend to." She nods going to sit her arms crossed, so much had changed so quickly. She struggled not to show how
overwhelmed she was 'always show your warrior face' she tells herself then watched as Snake got his first feed in, then the wild way Jolene fed. She knew that the hunger
inside had to be controlled. As the others made their way to the table the sense of what they were now began to show clearly. Nyxy even felt stronger than before, but
what would be the true price of this 'gift?' as she looked over at the ones who had been fed upon she shivered slightly. 'You can't dwell on that, your new life starts now
girl' her inner voice was what she needed to get herself together.
Part II setting up shop-
"so you mean to tell me some fat cat from the ritzy section is giving you money to set up a shop? Get the hell out of here" Damien Rudeboy Jones had been a friend of
Nyxy's since high school, he was a runner in a small gang called the dragons. He was a mix blood to his mother was from Trinidad his dad a mutt of Irish, German and
some other lineage he didn't know didn't care skipped out of his life when he was three. Like Nyxy Rudeboy was raised by a single parent and didn't really talk to one side
of his family. He was fair skinned had striking blue eyes and wore his long brownish hair in thick braids, he had tried dreadlocks but they didn't keep, when loose his hair
was silky like Nyxy's so she would tease him about him probably being part Asian to. Nyxy came to him with the same idea she ran by Drake, a shop that would sell
"candy" it would be a front for the actual business, a place to distribute the good stuff, everything from ganja to snow. After talking with Snake a bigger picture was
beginning to form, he wished to get into the booze trade, so the thought of a candy shop with an area to "eat" and drink came about. They found the perfect building it was
home to a former chocolatier, Nyxy thought just the name chocolatier sounded fancy. The machines to make candy in various forms were mesmerizing, she knew she could
set up a genuine front for their actual business. The building next door was attached in a way that could easily convert into a small dive like bar, with a little renovation one
area would open up into the other for patrons to enjoy a drink and some special candy. "So we really going to do this Chia..." Nyxy frowned "Rudeboy ya call me that again
and I'll kill ye." Damien smirked "sorry Nyxy" she nods "aye now Vie got to go, I'm going to me benefactor to get me self fixed into a new place." Damien frowned "ye
leaving the slums fer good then girl?" Nyxy grinned "I never belonged their friend, and if ye act right and find me some good workers ye can get out to." she looked up at
the evening sky "I got to go, I'll keep in touch just not during the day...I will be very busy with me new boss understand?" Damien nods "cool, cool I've got some
connections and hustlers who need work so.." Nyxy glanced at him before putting on sunglasses, just no scrubs ya hear me, we will be running a legitimate front the less
people who shouldn't know about our true business the better." He nods and she walks up "and Rudeboy...I may one day make ye and offer, if I do so know its because I
trust ye." He gulps as she caresses his neck then pulls away watching as an old man in a fancy car pulled up letting her in. He watched as she was driven off wondering
what his friend had gotten herself into. But judging by the fancy ride she was picked up in he definitely wanted to be apart of it.
Nyxy entered Drake's office "the site is picked out, I just need to go over some details with Snake about liquor distribution." Drake nods "that is fine, but you requested this
meeting with me for something else did you not?" Nyxy nods sitting "you asked me to find a business site and a home site, I found a place to set up shop, but I was
thinking...ye said we are elites now, would it not make sense for me to live close to here? Especially if I am to become accepted into the Kindred society." Drake sits back in
his chair smirking "once again you are very astute, though you realize you cannot just fully move into one of the more stately homes, those are reserved for true elites."
Nyxy nods "I know I have to crawl before I walk, but I am ready to gain me walking legs, there has to be a place around here that fits me something that says I am apart
of the society even if its on the low end. And something better than the one room hole I lived in before. Thanks to you I've got a taste of the finer things, and I like it." She
grinned at him. Drake returned her grin "I will see what I can do." Nyxy stood "then I will waste no more of your time Sire." She winked at him then leaves. Within a few
hours she was moving into her new place the town home was everything she dreamed of she had furniture picked out and soon her place resembled a blend of her cultures,
with decorative fans, swords and small statues made of ebony. Her bedroom was done in shades of black and crimson, rose printed sheets and a deep red cover graced the
canopy bed. The curtains could close around the queen sized structure with a pull of a chord. Thick black curtains completely surrounded her sleeping area enclosing her in
darkness during the day. Nyxy wondered if she would one day forget about the sun? Working triage she as used to the night, but it dawned on her now that she would
possibly not be able to be out in the sun again, she felt a twinge of sadness that she never really took the time to enjoy the feel of it when she was living. 'Girl don't be
stupid you traded daylight for the high life...don't blow it...' With that Nyxy nodded then rested the full day. By the evening hours she made her way back to her old
neighborhood where Rudeboy, Charlie Shanks, Daphne Ciroli, and a former helper at the triage named Joe were waiting "here be yer new crew Nyxy, Charlie will handle
getting the product, Daphne and I will run the stuff and Joe approached me looking fer ye, said he could help you out." Nyxy nodded "Joe didn't ya say your ancestors ran a
candy store." The older male nodded "back in England when it was England we had a treat shop, I found a book of old recipes my mum used to have I figured it would
come in handy." Nyxy grinned "well Joe I think I just found me shop manager." He blushed at her grin "thanks this will help my family out greatly." Joe had also known
about the side business Nyxy had when she worked at the triage but kept silent, she knew he would be loyal. "Now I just got to get with me liquor partner, soon we will be
hitting the big time." The others smile at her words and Nyxy fought the hunger that was starting to build in her. "I need to go but meet me back here tomorrow after sun
down." Daphne frowned "yo why we always got to meet you at night?" Rudeboy frowned "she's important now and watch your attitude or you're out!" This shut the girl up
quick and Nyxy smiled at him "see you all soon." She left them going quickly to a place where she could find a quick food source. She spotted her pray he was fumbling
around with a knife looked to be one of the bigger gang's enforcers. Nyxy knew with the tight cut dress she had on her hair upswept in a stylish do she could charm him
easily. "Hey there solider got the time?" He grinned looking at her "what a fine thing like you doing in this area? A pretty gal like you could get messed up." Nyxy laughed "I
ain't scared..." she walks closer pressing to him "I like a little danger boy." she ran her hand up his right arm then down picking up his wrist. He shivered but locked eyes
with her as she pressed her lips to his pulse "mmm." Before the male knew what was going on Nyxy had sunk her fangs in draining him. The big male let out a soft
whimper as she drained him. Nyxy pulled off before taking too much then helped him sit down against a building. she gently caressed his face then walked to her car
leaving him to recoup on his own. Little did she know someone had followed her and saw what she had done, and who knew what they would do with this information...
