Rayne sighed gently as she took a seat on a bench in the park. Rumors had been going around of her brother's return. Could they be true? She didn't want them to be true. There was a reason he was exiled and his return could spell very very big trouble for her. Most especially it could spell trouble for her soon-to-be husband, the High Count. Rayne knew better than anyone how Leo felt around Erik.
Tucking a strand of her hair behind her ear, her eyes shifted to the clear skies of the night. "This is a nightmare." She muttered to herself. If Leo had actually returned, it would mean she would have to choose between her love and her family. Rayne was by no means a weak women, but they kind of choice was not an easy one to make. As strong as the Coutness was, she didn't even know if she could defeat her brother if he choose to be violent toward her."Who am i kidding, of course he will be." She mumbled, moving her gaze to stare at the ground. What she wouldn't give for this not to be happening so soon after she had gained her position of high countess in the court.

It was in that split moment that she stared at the ground, in which the said vampire chose to appear.
Stood only a couple of metres away, off to her right, Leonardo rose an eyebrow in disgust. "Who will be what, dear sister?" he asked, his voice venomous but intreigued all the same. Crystaline eyes shone in the omnious night sky, the stars reflected in the intense anger of his deadenned pupils. Oh, he was fully prepared to be vicious with her, alright.
But, as for now, he would wait. He had promised her of his return; and now he had kept his word. He had never been proud of her, or upraising for her achieved position - he saw no reason to start now. Though, he supposed he could have sympathised a little, even grown to feel mutual with her gain of the throne had she not managed to let herself fall for the one particular he loathed moreso than any-other in this age-old world.
Yet, he still did not know of their engagement. That much, at least, had fallen short of his ears.

Where most would have jumped, the seasoned vampire just shifted her eyes. "So it's true...You have returned." She answered without giving an answer to his question. Well at least she didn't have to sit around waiting any longer. Shaking her head she sat up a straight. "What do you want Leo, you know you've exiled, by rights I could kill you right now for returning." Of course she didn't really want to. Leo may have turned into a horrible monster, but he was still her brother.
Standing now the vampiress looked her brother right in the eyes, "You have no right to be here brother, I don't wish to fight with you, so do everyone a favor and leave." At the back of her mind she knew he wouldn't, but she was allowed the illusion of hope, even if only for a moment as she waited for him to respond. It was certainly a good thing Erik wasn't here, otherwise things would be far worse. Just thinking about him make her tinker with her ring a little bit. Probably a big mistake.

Ah, so she was going to play the game the hard way.
Rolling his eyes as he made for one the many cigarettes that lumbered in his pocket, the vampire sighed in a frustrated manner before he took the stick to his lips. Watching her closely through the silence, he let the smoke from his drag linger a little as he let the moments pass by. If anything, the silence was getting to him even in his feigned non-chalance.
"Am I not invited to family get-togethers anymore?" he asked in a soft, downy tone as he tossed the cigarette asides, "Shame... I was much hoping you'd be happy to see me again."
Scarcely a few inches taller than his sister, Leo nodded in repetitive irritation at her next words - braving a few steps closer. He opened his mouth to retaliate, hesitating only as his sharp eyes caught the slight flicker of movement at her hands. He snatched it up instantly, holding her wrist tightly in his own palm as he examined the jewel at her finger. "This better not be what I think it is, sister... Or you know exactly what will happen to that fancy-fang of yours."

Rayne watched as he smoked. For a while so had see, then the rush of nicotine just didn't do anything for her and she had dropped the habit. The smoke slowly floated through the air, slowly raising toward the sky. His question was one half expected. "Well seeing as the last family gathering resulted in you attempting to kill Erik then me when I tried to get in the way, pardon me if I would just rather not have you at any more of them. In case you haven't noticed, brother, I'm a little more high in power than the last time we met. So if you try to go and kill me again, you'll have more than just a few people out to kill you."
Of course about that time she felt his hand grab her wrist and hold tight. "Oh shit." She managed to say before he said what he did. For a moment the flash of Erik being killed at her bother's hands went through her mind. She shuddered then stared hard at her brother. Before she knew what she was doing, her right hand was raised and flew through the air toward his cheek. Chances are the slap wouldn't hurt him, but that didn't matter to her at the moment.
"Don't you ever make a threat against him ever again. I will kill you brother, I don't want to, but I will. I love him and he loves me! And I will not, I repeat, will not let you disturb the peace I have wanted all my life." Her voice was stern and serious. "You've put enough damaging ripples in the pool of my life, I would like it if you left me now."

Still glaring down at the ring that held her finger so daintily captive, he smirked at the memory; letting the events flash back once more in his mind. "Oh, I've noticed... and you know just as well as I do that the throne was mine," he spat, his tone husky and venomous. "I spent so long trying to secure my place within the court's walls, so long perfecting how I would rule... But of course, that prize-bastard had to come along and ruin everything," he growled, feeling his cheeks flush with anger and sheer hatred for the High Count as he grew more and more worked up.
Inhaling sharply as her palm made hot contact with the side of his face, Leo snarled loudly; dropping her hand from the shock. "So it is Leroux," he breathed, still hurt moreso by the fact that his own sister had treated him in such a way, rather than the actual pain of being hit.
"Fine," the exiled vampire straightened up, his translucent stare locked onto Rayne. "Though, if I was you.. well, I'd want to know exactly where I was; just to make sure I wasn't out making more ripples with your lover."

Throughout the course of all this, Rayne was torn in half between defending her lover and defending her brother. She loved her brother, despite the fact he had tried to kill her. "Leo...you couldn't have been the count anyways. Its not Erik's fault...you shouldn't hate him. You should hate me." She dropped her head. She didn't plan on telling him this, but at least he would hate her then and she wouldn't have to worry about being torn anymore. It meant loosing her brother, but at least that would be better for Leo, Erik, and herself.
With a sigh she shook her head, "Leo its my fault you didn't make the position of count. I bribed them, ok? I bribed them into making me the Countess and you couldn't be the count because incest is forbidden and you know as well as I do that the Countess and the Count are required to produce at least one heir. Don't hate him. He just came in and offered, and I being blind gave him the pathway." She said softly. She could feel tears prickling at the back of her eyes. She waited for his anger, his hate, his disownment.

Staring almost blankly at her as she spoke her words, her confession, Leo felt his heated breathing rise and fall; becoming more rapid and anxious with each inhalation. She bribed them? Rayne bribed the court. He shook his head slowly, not daring take his eyes off of her, "No... Not you..."
Moving forwards quickly with a low, frustrated cry, the vampire clasped his hands tight over her shoulders - small but sharply pointed fingernails digging so slightly into her porcelain flesh. "No! My own sister did not do this too me! Why would she do that to me? Why would you do that to me?" he began in a heated whisper, his words quickly becoming a desperate yell of bantering as he shook her angrily - close enough to feel his stuttering breath furiously waver in the cool night air.
