big bad wolf, dracula

Who: Vlad and Shane
What: The wolf needs to shut up :D
Where: 905
When: After this
Warnings: Anger. Yelling. Fun times.

Vlad was going to kill him. Plain and simple, he was simply going to march down to 905 and put a bullet in Shane's head to finish this once and for all. He was tired of Rosalie's naivety and her refusal to accept reality, and if he had to listen to her defend him for much longer he was going to put a bullet in his own head.

Helena was on the couch with Cain and Abel, so he simply told her there was an issue with Shane and that he would be right back. She told him to be careful, he told her he would; and by the time he'd kissed her goodbye the gun was safely in his belt and hidden from her view. Ignoring the elevator, Vlad took the stairs instead, his breathing harsh and short as he made his way down.

He paused just before the ninth floor landing, checking to make sure the hallway was clear before approaching the door to 905. Peeling off the tape, he unlocked it as quietly as he could and slipped inside, closing it behind him. The wall of vines weren't exactly blocking the doors, leaving just enough space for him to stand without risking the wrath of the angry man kept inside.

"Shane," he hissed, one hand on the door handle just in case. "What the hell are you doing?"

It wasn't really possible to get a good look at the inside of the apartment, since the vines were knitted so closely together. It was difficult to see even though the gaps. The only light on in the place was in the guest bedroom, spilling out into the hall through an open door. The kitchen and living room were dark, and the windows were thoroughly covered by vines.

There was silence for a moment after Vlad spoke, then shifting, from the floor. It had been hours since he'd woken up, and whatever he'd been doing to make the noise had clearly come to a stop. Maybe he'd run out of things to break, or maybe he'd just run out of energy.

There was a shuffling, and then his face appeared, dimly lit. There was a bruise coloring his cheek where Vlad had punched him, and he looked generally disheveled, for all the world matching the image of a wild thing behind bars. The sharp teeth didn't do much to contradict it.

He said nothing. The question didn't deserve to be dignified with a response.

Vlad relied more on his hearing than his sight, keeping silent after his question and watching Shane's movements as best he could. He felt no pity for the man before him, even though he looked more like an animal than an actual human being. Boyd had wanted this, and if it kept Daniel and others from becoming victims to the wolf's instability, he would never regret it. Right now he was trying to secure the money for Boyd, and he didn't need Shane's impulsiveness getting them all killed.

"You need to be quiet. People can hear you - someone lives next door." He surveyed the apartment as his eyes adjusted to the lack of light, although it still wasn't clear.

"You must have done something to worry Boyd, which is why you are here." He shook his head scornfully. "I am trying to filter the money into one account without calling attention to myself. Once that is done, it will be safe for her to come back, and you two can discuss whatever issues need to be addressed. Until then, can you manage to keep from making so much noise?"

Hearing confirmation that it was Boyd who had put him there set his hackles up, but he said nothing right away. He moved away from the vines, out of the range of any normal human's line of sight, picking at the edge of the vines that barred the windows.

"I want to see her," he said. He didn't address any of what Vlad had said, didn't promise to be quiet, didn't mention that he'd already heard the woman next door banging on the wall. That was good. It meant he had a certain amount of leverage. Vlad certainly didn't want people to find out he was keeping someone prisoner in Ella's apartment.

"So get it done."

Vlad scowled, tempted to pull out the gun and just start firing until Shane was dead. Unfortunately it would be heard, and even though the police didn't seem particularly concerned with what occurred in Bellum, he doubted that a murder like this would simply be glossed over.

"Fine. But if there is one more complaint about your noise on the forum, Shane, it may take longer than expected."

	He bared teeth at him. "Are you threatening me?" The very idea that Vlad would try to slow down the process of getting Boyd her money back, even after having him locked up, stoked the fire in him. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"No, Shane. I am asking you to be quiet for a few days so I can get Boyd's money back without having to worry about people knocking down the door to see who is growling in here." Vlad was becoming impatient - how difficult was it for him to shut up so he could focus on what mattered? Did he think he was accomplishing anything by making noise? Honestly, sometimes he really did believe Shane was stupid.

	Shane was clearly on edge, his reactions coming too quickly and too hard on each other's heels to be normal. It was obvious that something was wrong to anyone who knew him well, but he didn't count Vlad among that number. "Wouldn't matter if they did," he said, flashing teeth again. "They'd just walk into the vines. Scared of what they'd say?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

He took an involuntary step forward, baring his own teeth in a silent snarl. "Not at all. You see, if anyone did find you here, they would certainly have quite a few questions... and once they find out that Boyd wanted me to lock you up, they will wonder why." Vlad paused, his lips curving into a small smile. "Would you really like them to find out why, Shane?"

Daniel had told him that Shane killed people with his bare hands, and he knew that he was not the kind of man who made such accusations without proof to back them up. It wasn't evidence, but it was enough to strengthen his suspicions. "If you continue to make noise, then you will complicate this far more than it needs to be. Do it for Boyd, at least."

	He stalked toward the vines. After he mentioned Boyd asking for him to be locked up, everything else was white noise. "Get out." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Vlad frowned, pushing the door behind him open but only taking one step back. "Two days at the most, Shane. That is as long as it will take me - stay quiet until then." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	"Out!," he snarled, moving past the vines and down the hall. The door to the guest bedroom didn't slam after he moved out of sight and into the hallway. Indeed, after he passed out of Vlad's line of vision, there was no sound at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Vlad hesitated, doubting that was an agreement, and what if he started making noise again as soon as he left? Still, there was nothing he could do. He couldn't see or hear Shane anymore, and pushing him further wasn't a good idea.

"Alright," he said finally. He turned and left the apartment, locking the door behind him. He lingered in the hallway momentarily, his movements deliberately slow as he ascended the stairs, waiting to see whether he started smashing things again before heading back up th the penthouse.
