He smelled them. The familiar scent drew him like a bee to honey;melting away from the Queen while she consulted Marius. He has been a lurking shadow since then, out of sight, biding his time with the self-proclaimed promise of violence. He knew they were far from fond of each other, and now they are in disarray while the blood of Yeshua coats the stone floors in a macabre mosaic of Mystique's making.

Now, when their alliance hangs by the most precarious of threads, is when he strike; and he will take her out, the strongest first.

Teeth and claws, bone and flesh, reveal themselves in split-second anticipation of deadly impact.

Now is the time to be practical. He wants to get Dani's remains off him, but he knows from experience that vampire dust is very absorbant. He rubs it into his open wounds to help stop the bleeding.

"Thanks."

His eyes widen. Oh, no. Not her. He cocks a chin at the figure just entering the room. "Silver...It's the witch."

Silver is shaking with the physical effort not to give some sort of reaction to having just killed Dani. Laugh, cry, scream - something. Clenching a fist, she punches the floor.

Roberto's words grab her attention and turn her head.

"Fuck."
