It was just on 11pm when Batgirl saw Rofellos appear from the shadows outside of the Cappadocian Catacombs.

"Good eve Rofellos" said Batgirl smiling slowly.
"Good evening Mrs Bat" he replied, bowing slightly.

They entered the Cappadocian Catacombs, barely paying any attention to the Assamite guard that stood just inside the door.  Rofellos followed Batgirl to the small storeroom where she took two shovels, two scythes, a blanket and a carry bag from various shelves.  Rofellos was a little confused at first but knew his sire would explain the need for each of these items.

As they passed one of the work rooms, they could hear Valek inside muttering to himself as he worked.  They stiffled a laugh and continued towards the door.

Once outside they turned right and walked together along the road that led towards the older part of the town and the cemetary. The night was cool but clear, it would most likely fog over before the night turned to day as was expected at this time of year.  Batgirl wrapped her cloak about her, Rofellos carried their equipment.

There were few mortals left on the streets but the Cappadocians were especially cautious after seeing the two mortals in the kindred elysium the night before.  There was little they could do at the time, but Rofellos had unarmed the man and given his weapon to Max with directions to report the incident to Syd Nowell, Keeper of the Elysium.  Wayan had guarded the masquerade by keeping the pretence of the elysium being a goth-style club.

Minutes passed without a word spoken until they reached the rusted wrought-iron gates of the necropolis.  Batgirl glanced at her childe, he grinned back at her, obviously keen to discover the joys and fascination of grave-robbing.  The gates were locked but they slipped through the fence where part of the wrought-iron feature was missing.

Rofellos followed Batgirl along the broken path that led to the Catholic section of the cemetary.  'She was right', he thought, 'it is beautiful'.  He marvelled at the countless graves some marked with simple tombstones, others adorned with beautiful sculptured angels or crosses.

Batgirl read the various headstones and settled on one where the "Petersen" family were buried.  Rofellos dropped their equipment on the ground beside the large plot and looked expectantly to his sire.

Batgirl made several attempts on the marble slab with her dark sword before it broke into several large pieces.

"Now....... we dig" She grinned as she passed a shovel to Rofellos.  Together they dug deep into the black soil until finally their tools struck the wooden coffins.

"aaah I adore that sound" said Batgirl as she tossed her shovel from the pit and moved to pull open the lid.  Rofellos stepped aside and watched her, she had clearly done this many many times before.

The first coffin held the remains of a child, aged 10.  There was nothing of value in his coffin.  The second coffin they opened held the remains of a woman in her early 40s and a baby.  She had died in childbirth half a century ago.  Rofellos quickly spied her engagement and wedding rings.  He carefully tried to remove them but crusted decayed flesh held them to the bones.

"Break the fingers off, the jewellry will come way more easily" directed Batgirl.  He frowned then nodded and snapped the bones.  The rings slipped off into his hand.

The third coffin contained the remains of a middle aged man.  The pockets of his funeral suit still held a valuable gold pocket watch, a silver cigarette case and lighter.  This time Batgirl snapped the finger bones to remove the signat and wedding rings.

Time was ticking away... they emerged from the grave, tossing most of the soil and broken slab back into place.  The caretakers would notice the invasion in the morning but the Cappadocians cared not.

"To the monastry Rofellos?" asked Batgirl, she laughed as she thought of their plans.....

((sorry it's so long, I really got into this thread hahahahaaaa :cool:

~batty~

(( oh god it was so long but even longer when you talk on icq.!   nice post ))  

((nice post Bats...... I wont say anything about length, I have no room to talk on lenghty posts :)

((GREAT POST!!!! :) i love every lines of it lol...really a great post :) and yep Valek is always muttering when he works lol.. ))

  The beutiful Batgirl and her childe stealthily creapt across the grounds and into the Monastary with a teqhnique that could match almost any Assamite Neonate.  The Monastary was completely dark minus one Nun that walked the corridors.  She walked the halls silently with a lit candle, one of the two could easily break her neck and move on, but Rofellos looked to his Sire with eyes that seemed to say, "Please can we just leave her?". Batgirl understood and they avoided her, Rofellos' Keen sense of hearing could easily detect her faint foot steps before she approached the two.  The two soon reached the room of the priest. Silently the entered the room.

   They moved quietly through the room,  the Priest was sound asleep, They moved close towards him, Rofellos stayed behind his beutiful sire. Batgirl drew her dagger, Rofellos touched her shoulder. He looked at her and said with his eyes, "Can i do it?". She smiled and sheathed her dagger. He walked to the preist and and moved his hand over the priest, he closed his fist and reopened it, a dagger now rested in his hand. he moved his dagger over the preists neck and quickly cut. blood shot out of his neck. Rofellos smiles gleefully. Just then the door of the priest opened.

Before Batty could move, Rofellos acted on instinct and threw his dagger through the air, it now rested in the head of the nun. The nun dropped to the floor with a thud, the candle  had fallen on her and her own clothes had caught fire. Rofellos eyes opened wide. Batgirl said quickly "we must go, quickly carry the priest." Rofellos heard her but removed his coat. He ran to the nun and threw his coat over the fire that had engulfed her.  The fire had quickly been smothered and Rofellos smiled to himself. "we should take both."  he said as he removed his dagger and his coat from the corpse. He put his coat on and his dagger had dissappeared from his hand, he lifted the nun over his right shoulder. "If you wish" she said smileing. Rofellos lifted the Priest over his left shoulder. The two quickly fled the monastary.

   Batgirl led Rofellos through rows and rows of graves stones, Rofellos thought to himself "She must come here alot, she knows her way around." They suddenly heared a loud growl. A dog was running towards Rofellos.  It leaped at him, Quickly his sire drew her sword and Sliced its head off. The head hit rofellos hard, but it didnt phase him. "Thank you." He said.  "Hurry. we must return to the Cattacombs."She grinned wickedly. They fled through the hole in the fence and hurried off in the direction of the  Cappadocian Cattacombs.



((i dont know how good that was...but oh well...Ill let you do the next part batty >=-)

(BOING!)

Batgirl unlocked the door to the Cappadocian Catacombs and step aside allowing Rofellos to carry their prey inside.  The Assamite guard gave them a curious look then stepped outside to ensure they hadn't been seen.  He had seen some very strange things within the catacombs but what he saw later that night would stay burned in his mind forever.  The Cappadocians were indeed macabre, he'd never understand Cain's attraction to the one they called Bats.

Silently they crept to one of the preparation rooms.  Rofellos laid the corpses of the nun and priest on the slab in the centre of the room as Batgirl locked the door.

She removed her cape and placed it on the small table along with the equipment they had used earlier that night.  "Rofellos..... please check if Valek is still here but don't bring any attention to yourself!" She laughed.  They had to be quiet if this was going to work.

Minutes later Rofellos returned. "Valek is where we left him, I think he is chanting." Rofellos grinned to his sire.  She had cleaned the most of blood from both bodies and had straightened their clothing.  If it wasn't for the hideous head wound on the nun and the blood stained collar on the priest, they would almost look like they were sleeping.

"They are ready Rofellos.  Shall we begin?" He nodded in reply and together they cast Shambling Hordes on the dead.  Their dead eyes opened and they climbed off the slab and lumbered around the room coming to a stop in front of Batgirl.

Rofellos opened the door and stepped out into the corridor.  They commanded the two dead corpses to follow.  Together they walked quietly down to the work room where Valek was.

"Stand back Rof" whispered Batgirl.  He nodded, stifling a laugh as the dead nun and priest clumsily tried to walk through the door at the same time, their reanimated bodies shouldering each other.  Batgirl leaned forward to turn the door knob then moved quickly to hide with Rofellos in the shadows.  A movement further along the passage caught her eye, it was the Assamite guard.  She signalled to him to hide with them.  He dutifully complied and watched in horror as the dead nun and priest moved awkwardly into Valek's work room....

((Cappadocian party tricks lol.... you should see us at Halloween, we rock lol..... take it away Valek :cool:

(((:Laughs:

((Very nice post :) lol ok Valek is going to like that lol..ill post something IC very soon :) ))

As Valek was still studying....he heard..footsteps..and slowly turned back..and noticed...a NUN and a PRIEST...entering his work room....Valek took out his sword and quickly runned til he reached the nun and priest...a sword sound could be heard...Valek cut the head of the priest....the head rolled out of the room..boucing on the entrance door of his work room...and rolled in direction of where Bat and Rof were hiding ((lol))....Valek then lifted the corpse of the priest and threw it out of the room with a lot of strenght...the body flied all the way out of the room....and hit the wall outside of his work room...the body separated into 2 parts when it has hit the wall....Valek the lifted the nun by her throat...he walked all the way out of his work room....he then slammed her back against the wall...still holding her by her throat.....Valek mouthed the following words

"Damarious esperitous satarious..."

He then punched the head of the nun with his other free hand...the head of the nun exploded into tiny peices...the brain falled on the floor..and rolled a bit....Valek then released his grip...and stabbed the nun in her heart with his sword....Valek then mouthed..

"How sad....God wasnt here to help you...."

Valek then step back a little...and looked in the corridor to see if there was someone...or more of those holy humans....

((Once again very nice post Bat & Rof..nice work...
Take it away :) ))
