Normally Terence wouldn't dare set foot this close to this mansion. But desperate times called for desperate measures, and he was going to make sure he got Celyn out alive. He felt stupid for bringing them all to Nox and only blamed himself for the current situation. If he hadn't brought them here, none of this would be happening right now.
Once any of the lights were in view from La Notte he crouched lower. Cover was a good thing, though he figured the vamps would soon pick up on the scent of his human help. "Shoot first, ask questions later..." He stated without turning to face his crew. "Also make sure you keep an eye out for those not coming from the house. I'll do my best to pick up any scents but I can't promise I'll pick em all out."
And making sure they all kept low, he lead them closer. Hoping the whole time that the rumors of their weapons were false.

Rudy was absolutely terrified. He tried to cover it up and was even aware that it wasn't believable. He was physically shaking and the gun he held rattled in his quaking hand. He was sweaty despite the cool air.
They ducked low and Terence gave them orders. "Questions? What would you expect us to ask them in the first place?" Rudy babbled on, "'Why hello there Vampires, may we kill as many of you as we possible can untill we get back the human that you hold captive and are obviously dying to eat?'"
Rudy was nervous which made him talk too much.

((wow this got long! hurray!))
It was quite nicely planned, really. The downside to the whole thing of course was that the rest of the house needed to be in on the plan, which meant Lion Boy would have to be shared with many more vamps in order for their willing participation in purposely causing a raid on their home.
The human girl had been locked away in the wine cellar of the mansion, where there were no windows for escape, and only one well guarded set of stairs down into it. There were nets rigged in a few choice areas throughout the mansion for a quick scoop-up of anyone who didn't know where they were and managed to trigger them. If the one in the main entrance way didn't get him, there were enough in other places to pick up the slack.
Most of the vampires had their own weapons, retrofitted with silver in some way or another. Most of the weapons they owned were severely outdated by Human standards, having originated hundreds of years ago from the original Nox humans. Many owned swords, silver laced into the blades. Others had rifles and flintlock pistols that they'd managed to keep in well working order over the centuries, with silver bullets that would rip through a were in the most painful of ways. A few had more modern guns that they'd managed to trade or steal from the recent humans who actually dared near the Vampire dwellings, but these were very few and far between.
The weapons were priceless to the vampires and usually not used for common purposes, lest they be lost. The existence of silver was becoming more and more rare on Nox as the Weres had somehow managed to eradicate most traces of it over the centuries. Silver bullets were never to be wasted on simple play and hunting.
Eli rested a favourite very special weapon of his own against his shoulder: an elegant pistol crossbow. It wasn't exactly a long range weapon compared to that of a full sized crossbow, but he didn't plan on fighting long range. He was stationed inside the house, and besides, he liked his victims close. Bullets really weren't that sexy, in his opinion. Arrows, however... beautiful silver tipped arrows that could lodge themselves into the victim's body and stay in, hooked into the flesh and muscle, burning away as the silver seeped into their body... Eli couldn't help but grin at the thought.
He paced back and forth from his place in the hallway, near those guarding the basement stairwell. He'd picked the most trustworthy of the house to guard that door, but he didn't trust them well enough to leave them alone the entire time. He himself could barely resist digging his fangs (among other things) into the human, and it had only gotten worse the longer he'd spent time around her. The allure of her scent was the most intoxicating thing he'd sensed in a long time.
He realized it was reminding him of his first few days as a vampire, and that had been a very long time ago. It was reawakening a lot of things he hadn't felt in a very long time. Eli was feeling revitalized, remembering how amazing it was to be around that scent, the anticipation of the encounter with another human. It made him want off the planet and into the new world of the Humans even more, and once they were done with this adventure, he realized... he was going to do whatever it took to get himself off Nox.
But first... the capture of Lion Boy. Another intoxicating sight. Eli licked his lips impatiently.

Terence was regretting letting Rudy come at all... The guy's gonna get himself killed. He rolled his eyes, stopped and added, "It doesn't matter, just shoot to kill. Now shut your mouth, and focus. The quieter you are the easier it will be to know if something is sneaking up on us."
Though he knew they wouldn't get out with out a scratch, he was hoping the the other two would at least be able to make it out alive. Casey seemed like he could handle himself, Rudy on the other hand looked like he was about to soil himself.
Creeping ever closer, Terence was starting to pick up various scents. So far, non were too close, which was good.

Admist her time being in the Vampire house, she'd seen many faces, none that were the one she wanted to see most. There was no telling really how long she'd been here, it felt like forever. Always being locked in a room of some sort, normally she had a window to gaze out of.. She could see the forest off in the distance, and could only hope that Tere was gone and safe from these evil things.
Though something about this day was different, they came in and dragged her away into a dark room. The stench of mold and stale air was thick in her lungs. There was no light, no window, nothing. This was perhaps the most fearful she'd been sense her arrival. Why they moved her into this spot, well she hadn't been told... Though deep in the pit of her stomach she felt she knew exactly why.
Thankfully, one of the vamps gave her a roll of bandages. There was no telling how old they were, When she unraveled them dust fluttered around her. But they helped her ankle, wrapping it and then placing it securely in her boot once more, she was able to walk on it.
From behind the door she could hear many things, Mainly people yelling and things banging around, as if they were preparing for something. Instantly it dawned on her, and she wanted to throw up again. Tere was coming. He really was coming, they were preparing to kill him.. What if Casey and Rudy were with him!? They'd kill them too. She fell against the stair well, her hands against her temples pulling her hair away from her face as she tried to catch her breath.
No, This couldn't be happening.. They'd kill Casey and Rudy. Keep Tere for their wicked little games. Then they'd come for her, and this time they wouldn't hold back from hurting her. She suddenly wanted to scream, beat the door down.. Tell them to just leave tere alone, and just kill her already!
Leave them alone, Let him go and Marry a beautiful Were. There were plenty around! She sort of crawled to wards the door, and pressed against it. She knew it wouldn't open, she slowly began to sob. Tear's rushed down her tan cheeks and her eye's burned. She used her fists to beat against the door. Damn them. Damn that fox! If she ever saw her, she'd be the first one to beat the pulp out of her... that was if she ever got out of here... Alive.

Rudy knew he was being stupid. "Sorry captain I'm just scared as all. This is the first-" Then he realized he was rambling again, so he shut up, made the gesture of zipping his lips up, and focused on the mission.
The other two probably wanted to strangle Rudy. It'd probably make the mission easier for them but it would also cost them a pilot. So he was there whether they wanted him or not. He was determined to help get Celyn back in one piece... if that was at all possible at this point.

Rudy would have really been annoying Casey, if he had been paying any kind of attention to him. This close to the mansion, if Casey took the time to listen to Rudy's rambling chances are he wouldn't live to regret it.
"Pipe down, you little girl." Casey growled quietly, over his shoulder, without taking his eyes of the target. "If you get us caught, I promise to kill you if the Vampires don't."
"So what's the plan, Terence, or are we just winging it. Because I don't mind winging it. I'll survive; you guys might not; but I will."

"Plan? Stay together for one thing they'll pick up off easier if you're alone. Otherwise it's just basically a search, where we don't know where they're keeping her. And not knowing the complete layout of this place makes it difficult to have a proper plan. So I guess in a sense we are, winging it." It was unfortunate but true. He wished he knew the whole mansion, but he only remembered the rooms where he was conscious in. Even that didn't mean he knew how to get to those rooms.
"Also, if by any chance while we're leaving, they get a hold of me. You take Celyn and you get the hell out, fast. Don't worry about me. Got it?" There was a piece of him that guessed the only reason Celyn was still alive... was to get to him. It was really one of the only reasons these vampires would willingly let a human be in their mansion alive.

Ben smelled something. Something wonderful. He was standing on the balcony that overlooked the courtyard of La Notte waiting. The scent was a Were and two humans. The Were was obviously Terence. Good. He was stupid enough to take the bait.
He was also stupid enough to come with two humans and no Were support. He's brought us supper. He said as he finally spotted the intruders from his spot. They were hiding poorly. Or at least one of the humans was. Ben could see the humans spiky hair move about from the top of a bush as they moved. Fools. There's no point in hiding when we were the ones who invited you.
The other Vampires all had their weapons for fighting Weres. Ben didn't want to use them. He preferred killing things with his bare hands. Feeling the skin rip beneath his fingernails. But it was probably smart to use the silver weapons, so he carried a silver knife.

Rudy tightly held his lips together. It became an extra hard task after Casey began insulting and threatening him. As if Rudy needed something else to be terrified about. A large man killing him would probably be more pleasant than being eaten by a vampire.
Rudy snapped out of the thoughts of him dying and thought about something happy. His appletini he had back on Terra was a good start. He daydreamed about sipping it. It's sweet taste. Then he got up and slammed into the waiter spilling drinks all over Terence and Celyn. So much for happy thoughts. The last memory was the first time he'd met them, which reminded him that he wanted to save Celyn from these evil things.
Casey wasn't a very likable guy. At least not now, when Rudy was so close to wetting his pants.
He hoped that they were going to do well on this considering Terence had no actual Solid plan. Rudy wanted to say no to Terence's idea of taking Celyn out of here if Terence gets caught. He didn't want to leave him behind. He was pretty much the closest thing to a friend Rudy had.

From inside the prison, as she felt it was, she could hear the hissing of many vampires. It only meant one thing.. Tere was almost there. Her tear's had already stooped, a long time from then, instead her pitiful feelings were dropped. How could she have been so freakin' stupid!? That darn fox, that conniving little wench, she should've known that it was all just a set up to get rid of her. So she could have Terence all to her little self. but she had it all wrong, instead of just having Celyn killed off and Tere alone for the taking, he came looking for Celyn. Not only would Celyn kick her a** for putting her into this situation, she would come down even harder for placing Tere back into the hands of these demons.
She got to her feet quickly, and began rummaging around the wine cellar. There was nothing useful, Not even a window to peek out of. She glared at the many bottles of wine that lay in front of her, in an angry move she gripped one of the bottles and chunked it at the door. It didn't do much, Except make a loud noise and vibrate the door a little.. Stupid Vampires. Stupid Fox. She limped back over to the steps and sat down, Ignoring the warm red liquid as it fell down in drops against her.
Why should she care what she looks like, with her skin sticky from the sweet wine, and her shirt stained red a bit, Not to mention to tear across her abdomen. Her skinned knees. Her wrapped up ankle. She looked like one hot mess, but she didn't give a damn. If they hurt Terence, she would have more fight in her then they could ever dreamed possible from a human. If that was all she could leave behind before they killed her, It would be to get one good punch in before she left this world. She smiled, Thinking of punching Eli in the face, and then giving a good kick to Ben between the legs. Oh, and that woman! If only she had hands of steel, she'd wipe that pretty little smile right off her face.
But again.. Celyn was only a human against something that was far dangerous then just your ordinary foe. She sighed, shook her head and found herself once again cradling her head in her hands. Waiting.. Waiting to hear something from anyone.

Casey was starting to get nervous. Things were too calm, too quiet. He wasn't sure of what exactly the Vampires were capable of, but he would have figured them to have some kind of security, so that people like him couldn't get this close without their knowledge.
Where was everyone?
Casey checked his gear one more time, almost subconsciously. He was as ready as he was going to be. At least he had Lilith with him. There were very few weapons that caused Casey to relax, but Lilith was one of them. She was a beautifully built shotgun, that Casey had bought years ago, then had upgraded. Now she was a Vampire killing machine. Casey had redesigned her to fire incendiary rounds. These were rounds that when they hit their target, they would explode and create a large fireball, torching the target. Casey hadn't had a chance to use them against Vampires before but he was looking forward to the opportunity.
All of a sudden, Casey's instincts screamed at him. He spun around to his right side, and watched as a vampire rushed out of some bushes where he had been lying in wait. Casey brought Lilith to bear down on the vamp and as it came into his sights he fired away.
BOOM! The incendiary round lit up the night and sounded like a cannon blast in the quiet of the night. The vampire was let on a scream that was entirely inhuman, before disintegrating away.
"Shit. There goes stealth."

He had caught a wiff of their follower and was about to say something but the quiet rustle of branches already seemed to alert Casey. Once Casey had fired there was really no use in trying to stay hidden. With a shot like that, there would be no more quiet in this part of the woods "Shit! Move move move!" Terence growled as he instantly fired at another Vampire that leaped at them. He started towards the mansion faster.
His weaponry was causing much more damage in a short amount of time than any clawing or biting in lion form could ever do, so he stuck to human for the time being. Terence fired, taking out a few in his path. Not necessarily successfully killing them, but at least putting them out of commission for long after he and his crew would be gone. That way he wouldn't have to deal with them right away.
He managed to get them to the Mansion and forcefully kicked in one of the doors. Things were too quiet. This wasn't good. most of them must be hiding, which meant ambushes. Those were never fun when it came to vampires.

Rudy stood and looked around. It was so quiet. That made things eerie. His eyes darted from side to side, his mind playing tricks on him. Then he made a brief high pitched screech when Casey shot his gun. It was so loud, especially after such a long period of silence.
It turned out that Casey had shot and killed a Vampire that was behind them. Then the other two started running and shooting at vampires that revealed themselves from the trees. He fell behind so he tried to run and catch up, all the while shooting and missing some Vampires. He managed to hit one with his incendiary rounds. He wasn't aware that the gun was loaded with such bullets so it startled him.
After hitting his first Vampire, Rudy gained more confidence. He shot and killed some more. The air now littered with the ash of the destroyed Vampires. He was starting to feel like a real action hero. He let out a battle cry, which sounded extremely pathetic, as he fired aimlessly at a group of Vampires.
Then his foot hit something and the ground suddenly came much closer than before. His face met with the dirt and leaves. "Ow." He tried to get up and watched as the others got even farther away. He stumbled to his feet and sprinted for his life.

Chase had been running as fast as he could to get to La Notte. He knew Terence was practically on a suicide mission and would need help, and that's what he was planning on doing. Help. The large black cat bounded through the dark forest.
Once he started hearing shots being fired he knew he was close. Once they hit his sight he studied the surroundings quickly. The weird older guy seemed to be falling behind, in Vampire Territory that was never good. He was panting heavily after running so far but he needed to help.
He saw a figure move up close behind Rudy and that was all he needed to move. Chase darted and leaped at the Vampire before he managed to grab Rudy. He aimed for the neck and tumbled onto the ground with the creature and held it down. The Jaguar had one of the strongest jaws out of the big cats so he didn't take much to hold him down until he stopped struggling.
He figured, if Rudy hadn't noticed him he'd just sort of help pick off the Vamps he didn't see. Maybe it would help the guy gain some more confidence and not die.
