Vlad: Bloody Easter

It was Easter night and Radu was sprawled across the dinining table, about to explode. He never wanted to see another turkey in his life, nor another pig or any other fowl and game. Pr any vegitable known to man. He groaned softly, rolling over to look at his brother whom sat at the head of the table, still stairing at his place, slowly twirling a fork around and around. "Vlad?" He asked softly, taking a sip of wine. "Vladddd...." He repeated. Vlad looked up and raised an eyebrow at Radu. "Yes brother and do get off the table, your left elbow is in the pudding." Radu made a face and climbed off the table, sitting in his seat misribly. He then glanced at his brother. "why are you so upset, you have barley eaten, it can't be stomache pains." "No, it is not stomache pains, it is those...men upstairs." Radu frowned, his gaze traveling to the cealing, as if he could see the boyars and their families all tucked away in the upper rooms. "Why are you upset with them? They haven't done anything." Vlad slammed his fork down on the table. "That's just is, they HAVEN'T done anything. They didn't do anything when Father went to war, they didn't do anything to stop his assasination or Mircea's caputre!" He picked up his fork again, twirling it around the other direction. "In fact, I think they had something to do with it." "What, but they couldn't have, the turks..." "Yes, yes, I know who killed Father and Mircea but I don't know who paid them to do it. But the suspicions are there. These men have outlived seven kings, that should tell you something Radu." "They're very well preserved?" "Seven murdered kings." "Oh." Radu said softly. Vlad made a motion and a servant walked over, to the bell pull next to Vlad's chair, ringing it. A few minutes later, two servants, one an old, knarled man, the other a young boy, fourteen. Jheryn blinked, stairing at Vlad who was stairing at his twirling fork. "You rang for us m'lord." "Yes, it's about the boyars upstairs," Jheryn's face hardened, leaving him looking far older then his years. "what do you wish us to do m'lord?" Vlad took a moment before looking up at the boy. "Kill them all." He said softly. Jheryn nodded and and with a smile left to go carry out Vlad's orders. Atma stayed behind, stairing at the young boy he had raised from a babe at his mother's breast. "Vladamir." "Don't Atma. The time for talking has passed. These...man, lead my father and brother to their deaths. I won't let them live to lead me to mine." "I wasn't about to suggest you do. I only wished to question why yu not make an example of these men. Kill their families, send their bodies to your enimies, make people think before they challenge you. This is a very uncertain time Vladamir, we live between two countries who want to destroy us just to gain our lands. Make them hesitate before they take us." Vlad staired at the old man, the words turning over in his head, making sense. "Go oversee it Atma, I trust you in this as I trust you in all things." Atma turned to go oversee the destruction of everyone upstairs. "Oh, and Atma, if you ever betray me..." "I know m'lord. Belive me, I think that Radu would kill me before you could." With a nod the old man left the two brothers alone. -- Radu watched from a seat on a table as bodies were carried past him. It was an our since the assasinations had been ordered and their were still several sleeping guests to kill. he wiped his bloody hands on a rag, worn out, leaving the others to someone else as he simply sat and watched. Vlad walked past him, stripped down to just his pants and shirtsleeves, covered, no soaked really in blood. Even his long black hair was covered in it, shining a dull red black. Radu smiled, leaving forward to watch the back of his brother as Vlad walked away, licking his lips slightly. He leaned so far forward he fell off the table, Jheryn laughing as he passed carrying a blonde body in his arms. -- Comtess Akara had awoken. The servant about to slit her throat backed away as the woman staired at her. The Comtess rose, still stairing at the bloody maid before screaming and hitting the girl with her pillow roll before flying from the bed, tossing things at the girl. The maid ducked and ran for the woman. She had to silence her, before the others woke up. She grabbed the Comtess's arm and went to stab her when the Comtess grabbed a chair, hitting the maid with it, knocking her away and to the floor. The Comtess grabbed a piece of the broken chair, lunging at the girl, stabbing her repeatedly till her her white nightgown was red with the girl's blood and the chest of the maid was a ruined mess. she then ran from the room, leaving her husband behind as she entered the hallway. she screamed again, seeing the bodies being carried up and down the hall. Vlad spun around, stairing at the woman and Radu staired, unsure what to do. The Comtess started screaming for help, trying to rouse the sleeping victims. Jheryn grabbed the woman and went to stab her when Vlad held up a hand, staying the boy's actions. "Strip her." He ordered, leaning against a wall. Jheryn gave a grinn and tripped off the lace night gown, smirking as the Comtess tried to hide her breasts and groin. "Now now, m'lady, you should let m'lord look, he may take mercy on you." "Enough Jheryn." Vlad ordered and stood awy from the wall, a spear in his hand. He had pulled it from the wall while Jheryn was getting his kicks. Jheryn pouted and moved away from the woman, still stiaring at her nude body. Radu himself was looking at her though trying to appear as if he wasn't. Vlad walked over to the woman, above such petty things that seemed to have seized his brother and favored servant. "spread her legs." Jheryn and Radu hurried to comply, lifting the woman and between them spreading her legs for Vlad despite her protests. Vlad leveled the spear and shoved. The woman screamed as the tip of the spear pierced her through her groin and up through right breast. He then lefted her with Jheryn's help and carried her outside, driving the spear into the ground. She screamed as gravity ever so slowly slid her down the spike. he grinned, watching her. "I've changed my mind. I want all of them to be hung up out here." He yawned and headed back inside and to bed, leaving Radu and Jheryn to comply with his wishes.
