The night was dark, and the air was cold. Vampires and humans alike stood outside the entrance to Theatre des Vampires. But, only those with an invitation could come in.
Down in the very bottum of the theatre lay a beautiful room. A girl with hair as dark as night sat on a chair. Her master stood in front of her, getting ready.
"Master Armand, may I watch the preformence tonight?' she asked him.
Armand turned to look at her.
"I am sorry Aria, but I can not allow you too. It is too dangerous." he said. Aria gave a small nod.
"Alright, master." she said. Armand went over to her and gathered her into his arms, the way a lover might. He stroked her hair and smiled one of his rare smiles.
"I am sorry that you can not watch the preformence tonight." he said. Aria gave a tiny smile.
"It is alright, Master Armand." she said.

Angel was walking around aimlessly searching for his light when he found some type of Demon run into him. It had sharp fangs and was going to attempt to bite him but it stopped. "Angel Kokoro! I'm so sorry I didn't know. Take this as an apolgie." Angel was going to say his name wasn't Angel Kokoro because he left that life behind when he looked at an invintation to a vampire or human party. Angel was neither but he went all the same.
"This place is full of people who once served me." He took a seat after showing his ticket and waited for the show to begin.

Armand smiled and left her. Aria sighed and layed down on the bed, her hair fanning out around her. She lay on her side, using one arms and a pillow. Her cool green eyes looked around the room that she loved and cherished. she closed her eyes and tried to get some sleep before the show was over.
Aria awoke no more than a mere minute later. In her dream, she had seen only one face. One face with silver hair and eyes of gold. She reached up and held the silver ring hanging from a chain around her neck in her small hands. She closed her eyes.
"I do not miss you." she said softly. But, no matter how much she wanted to, Aria could not bring hherself to throw the ring into the fire and watch it melt.

Angel was still waiting for the show to begin and he ordered a cold white wine to drink as he waited for this particular show to begin. He took off his ring and was looking at it when some random thief came over and attempted to steal it from him. He snatched it up and started running away. "The hell you will!" Angel jumped in the way and created walls of Darkness around the Demon. "Give me my light!" Angel yelled in it's face. "Your light? What are you talking about? Heres your stupid ring wasn't worth much anyways." The Demon said throwing the ring towards Angel.
Angel caught the ring and held it close to his chest as the Demon got away. "This ring is my light. She gave it to me, not Riiku.. someone... more." He didn't care that other Vampires were staring at him he got up and moved back to his seat putting the ring back on. He wasn't going to take it off now.

The Lights were going out, first in the balcny, and then along the walls of the main floor. A knot of musicians had gathered in the pit below the stange, and at the foot of the long, green velvet curtain the gas flickered, then brightened, and the adience receded as if enveloped by a gray clod through which only dimond sparkled, on wrists, on throahts, on fingers. A hush desended like that gray cloud untill all sound was collected in one echoing persistent cough. Then silence. And the slow, rhythmical beating of the tamborine. Added to that was the thin melody of a wooden flute, which seemed to pick up the sharp metallic tink of bells of the tambourine, winding them into a medevil in sound. Then the strumming of strings that emphasized the tambourine. And the flute rose, in that melody singing to something mrlancholy, sad. It had a charm to it, this music, and the whole aduiemce seemed stilled and untited by it.

Everybody was silent no one talked not even to get a drink or anything. "I want another wine!" Angel yelled to the bartender and many people shot him evil looks. "What?" Angel said as the music only mesmorized the weak minded. Angel was not weak minded, He was only weak in the heart.
Angel drank another wine and told himself that was enough. It wasn't that it was strong because he drank the wine at a rate a mouse wouldn't beable to get drunk off two. He settled down and began to listen to the music. It was good but he had heard better.

The play went on. About Death falling in love, a woman dieing by his vampire's kiss, and Armand, playing the vampire, to take her blood. The play was beautifully done and about a half an hour later, it ended. The curtains shut and the lights on. People started leaving in great herds.
A vampire with long black hair and gray eyes approched Angel and bowed.
"It is an hourner to meet you Angel. I welcome you to Theatre des Vampires and I hope you enjoyed the preformence. I am Santiago. Would you care to have a stronger drik?" he asked.

"A man of many talents." Angel said giving a curt bow back. *That's when you slightly bow your head but not all the way.* "I liked the play but the music wasn't the best." Angel admitted truthfully. He was once the king of all these people from what he remembers he hadn't left anyone in charge yet so it was obvious that they would still treat him like their god. Angel rubbed his ring abit then decided. "It would be an honour to drink something stronger with you." Angel waved the bartender over. "Two bloody mary's actually bloody mary's not the fake stuff." Angel said as the bartender brought to jugs full of blood. "Cheers." he gulped some of it down and had blood on his mouth after and he licked it off.

"Cheers." Santiago said and drank some as well. Armand walked by and two vampire woman named Claidia and Maria came over to him. The theatre was empty save the vampires that lived there and Angel.
"Armand, can she came and play?" Claidia asked.
"Yes, we wat to play with our beautiful doll!" Maria said, hanging onto one arm as Claidia hung on the other. Armand gave a soft smile.
"Soon. But for now, I must drink." he said and left them to go downstairs. The two girls pouted and spotted Angel. The came over and ran their hands along his arms and through his hair.
"He is so pretty." Claidia said.
"So very pretty. Can he become one of us?" Maria asked.

"Sorry ladies neither one of you are my light and I'm almost one of you, Half Demon." He said as he drank the rest of his bloody mary. "I am quite curious about this 'doll' though. I think I'd like to see it." Angel said in a curious manor. He still wasn't drunk but the ladies wern't helping he mood but he stayed kind to them anyways.

The girl smiled and took his hands.
"Oh! then follow us!" they said. Claidia and Maria led Angel down three flights of steps and throgh many hallways lined with paintings. They finally stopped in front of a door.
"This is Armand's study." Claidia said.
"This is where our doll sleeps!" Maria said. both girl's opened the door.
Through the doorway, they saw Aria stand with half of her dress slipping off her shoulder and her head back. Her arms were wrapped around Armand's neck. One of armand's arms was wrapped around hier wait and the other behind her head. His face was in her neck. Both of their eyes were closed. Armand drank a little long before pulling away and whiping the little blood from around his mouth on his sleeve. Aria lay asleep in his arms. He carried her to the bed and covered her small body after cleaning the blood from her neck. he had not yt seen the three there.

Angel was smiling and laughing as they went down the stairs. When the girls opend the door the first thought that came into Angel's mind was that they were making love. When he saw that they probably were going to he simply said. "That's not a doll. That's Aria." He then walked a little bit forward towards the Aria and the man.

"No, she is our doll." Claidia said. Armand walked out of his study and was surprised to see them there.
"Well, this certanly is a surprise. You two usually wait until after I feed to come down here, not while I am feeding." he said. There was still a little blood on his cheek which he rubbed off.
Armand turned to Angel and gave a curt nodd.
"It is a plasure to meet you sir. Though, I do not know your name. I am Armand." he said.

Angel didn't move from his spot but gave a curt nodd anyway. "Did you capture her?" Angel asked staring at no one but her unblinkingly. "Did you? Or did she choose to come her?" Angel said moving a little bit forward towards her.

Armand looked at the two woman and they left. Armand stood aside to let Angel in.
"Please, come in. There are things you must not truly know of her." he said. Armand shut the door behind Angel and sat in a chair. He looked at Aria's sleeping form.
"I found Aria when she was only six years old and took her in. We have been together since. A few years later though, she asked to go out and see the worlds. When she returned, she was different. Broken." Armand said.
He turned to look at Angel.
"Since then, she has become dependent on my and the other vampires here. She tels me to drnk from her everynight for is I drink a little everynight, I get stronger. She knows this and does it for me." he said.
