Rest In Pieces, Jerk

Van set his phone aside, his eyes red with anger. He was a wraith vampire, not a creature to trifle with, but rarely got angry, nearly six hundred years had tough how to control his emotions. His nails became claws and sunk into arm on his chair, the thought of someone hurting Valerie brought out a ancient anger in him.

He rose pulling on his trench coat, his skin was graying a bit, his wraith form wanted to emerge, to rip that pimp apart, but he understood that caution was needed. He pulled a blood pack from his fridge and downed it. His other form may be needed tonight, but not right now.

He shoved a few extra blood packs into his coat, he didn't feed on people, even cruel heartless men. He took a calming breath, he flicked his hand and a portal to tge strip opened. All endings were also beginings, his long life had taught him that, tonight he would likely have to end a life, but....multiple lives would finally truly begin. He stepped through the portal.

Incidentally, the dragon king wasn't all that far off from where the lamia happened to be waiting. He was at his cousin's hair salon discussing clan business as well as the situation with their lost cousin when he received the message. His expression flashed a brief hint of genuine rage, something that hadn't been seen since his sister had gotten kidnapped. The time to act was now. His cousin gave him a knowing look as Alex stood and turned to the door.

"We're going," the only words the king uttered as he took his coat and exited the shop, cousin following behind him.

The two dragons could practically pass as twins, having only slight differences separating them, excluding their individual scents. The more serious Alex sported a serious expression and his hir hair being a darker red, and kept more straight. His cousin Leon's hair was lighter, and a bit wavy and his lips were curled into a menacing smirk. It had been centuries since the two of them fought together like this.

"Remember, we're not above the law here, so no killing."
"I could say the same to you, don't do anything rash. Last thing we need is our king going to jail for rescuing his cousin."

The faint hint of amusement crossed Alex's face as they came to the appointed meeting place, noting the lamia who seemed notably nervous as well as the vampire. At least that's what he smelled like anyway. Now was the time to act.

"I take it you're the one that sent out that message?" Alex asked, getting right into business.

Van nodded to the tw dragons, he recognized what they were by their scent. He knew Valerie was a dragon, these two seemed to be here to help, perhaps members of her old clan. It was a calming thought that Valerie may yet have family left in this world. Van silently swore to make sure Valerie was finally re-united with them.

He turned and listened to Misty intently, she seemed to be a close friend of Valerie's, it was good to know she had other close friends besides himself. He stepped forward as she broke down placing his hands on her shoulders, "you've been very brave dear, you've shown strength. Valerie will be very proud."

He quickly draped his coat over her shoulders before turning to the dragons. "We must move quickly but quietly," Van was old he'd been everything from a soldier to a spy. "No room for error, if we make a mistake Valerie and many others will suffer." He stepped beside the dragons and looked to Misty, "I know you're scared, but please lead us there....and Valerie, you and all the girls will be free that monster." He knew what he was about to do, it want the first time, sometimes evil men must be put down for the greater good.
