Korlian felt Professor Hawk start to pull him away and looked at him. When rage is that visible through a mask... it's stupid to stay in the way. Korlian leapt out of range with alacrity, landing on the wall and bouncing so that he was behind the wolf that he seemed to think was the nice Professor he had helped with the weeds. He tried to make it seem like leaving the vampire to the others was his idea... after all, a Fae Lord wouldn't get out of range of a mere mortal's rage. Without cold iron nearby, at least.

Conall struggled against the Fae lord's strangling embrace, trying and failing to suck air into his starving lungs. Black spots began to dance in from of his eyes, spreading... Then the ghoul came forth again, pulling the Fae aside with a snarl. Leave him, he's MINE!
The Fae released him, and air rushed into Conall's gasping mouth. He drew one breath before the ghoul came into his vision again.

The red mist completely enveloped Vincent's vision now; Korlian and Conall were shifting shadows behind it. He saw Korlian leap out of the way, moving to stand behind the lupine Diana. Conall still lay in front of him, trying to breathe. With a growl Vincent lunged again, gripping the vampire's shoulders and lifting him slightly, speaking slowly, his face an inch from his enemy's.
"When you get to Hell," he whispered, "be sure to tell the Devil who sent you."
He locked his hands around Conall's throat, pressing him to the floor again with all his might.

Conall had a sliver of warning this time--he raised his own hands as the ghoul's locked around his neck, clawing at the hideous figure's face--which ripped off in his hands, revealing the face of Vincent Hawk underneath. The man's blue eyes were sparks of cold fury, his mouth twisted in a grimace of pain and rage. Three long gashes scored his cheek, dripping black blood. But the hands still remained around his neck, choking, squeezing...

Vincent hissed in pain as Conall's fingernails raked his face, snagging in the fabric of his mask and ripping it off. He felt hot blood dripping down his stinging face, but didn't let go of his prey's throat.
"Just DIE already!" he gritted out between clenched teeth.

Conall clawed at the hands around his throat, trying to pull them away. He thought he felt them loosen; he twisted and rocked his body to one side, trying to throw his attacker off. He succeeded in landing on top of the ghoul who seemed to be Vincent Hawk, pinning the man down as he had been pinned. Now he, Conall, had the upper hand.

Vincent let out a sharp gasp of surprise as Conall rocked to one side, throwing him off balance. Conall landed on top of him, pinning him to the floor with his arms out to his sides. The vampire was kneeling on his chest, holding his arms down, body hunched over; his bloodshot yellow eyes bored into Vincent's blue ones. Vincent was trapped; he couldn't rely on his own body weight to unbalance Conall. He turned his head to one side, his eyes at the level of Diana's paws. Would she be able to read his lips now? It was worth the try.
"Help me!" he choked out.

Diana had watched the whole scene unfold in a helpless silence, unable to hear a word or sound of what was going on. She could see, though, and she saw her friends and charges in danger. Until that point she had been forced to wait, having no opportunity to attack the vampire without risk of also killing Conall's prey.
Now, seeing Vincent pinned to the floor under the vampire's body, she saw her chance.
She leapt, her strong legs carrying her far across the corridor--farther than she had meant to jump. Her body slammed into Conall's at the peak of her leap, her jaws closing around his throat. His blood gushed into her mouth, warm and salty. The jump carried them a few yards more at least, and as Conall's body hit the floor under her paws she skidded to a stop.
She took one step back, growling softly, watching the vampire. For a few seconds he lay, gasping, gurgling... then he fell silent, his head lolling limply to one side. Warily she sniffed at him, then stood back again. There was no life left in that body now.

Korlian knelt and poked the now dead vampire. He looked over at Professor Hawk. "Can I have his fangs?" he asked, innocently.

Vincent winced as he sat up, his ribs protesting the motion loud and clear. He blinked over at the boy as the red mist faded from his eyes... he wasn't even quite sure what had just happened. "What...?"

"His fangs. He doesn't need them any more. I want them," Korlian said, as if it were the most natural thing to be asking. He poked Conall again, looking at his blood-shot yellow eyes. He closed them so they weren't staring any more. He paused and looked over at Professor Hawk again. "PLEASE can I have his fangs?"

Vincent climbed slowly to his feet, assessing the situation as he beheld it. Conall was six feet away, his throat torn out. A lovely grey she-wolf stood nearby, with blood splattered across her muzzle. Korlian knelt beside her, looking up at the professor expectantly. Vincent gave him a nod. "Take them if you want."
He walked carefully over to the body of Conall, stooping and prising a few bloody scraps of white cloth from the corpse's hand. He turned to the wolf, shrugged off his coat and put it on her as he gazed down into her eyes, and took her forepaw in his hand. "Thank you, Diana."

Diana gave him a canine smile, then shifted back into her human form. She stood up, her right hand holding Vincent's, her left digging in a pocket of Vincent's coat for something to wipe her mouth on.

Vincent looked down at the torn mask in his hands; finding a spot that wasn't already bloody, he gently wiped Diana's mouth with one of the scraps, then held another to his bleeding face. He looked down at Korlian and the vampire's corpse in silence.
Well, Veronique is certainly in for a surprise...

Korlian made a small squeal of delight and pounced on the dead vampire's chest, pulling his fangs out with surprising ease. He sat on Conall's chest, undisturbed by the blood and playing with his new possessions. He looked at the professors and smiled, then looked back at his toys and worked on cleaning the blood off of them.

"Have fun with those," Vincent told him halfheartedly. His mind was on other things... namely, it was with Ariel, wherever she was. He hoped she had managed to find Veronique.
His head suddenly turned back to Korlian as something occurred to him.
"What on earth do you want that monster's TEETH for?!"

Korlian chuckled, turning them over in his hand to examine every millimeter of them. They were sharper than his brother's teeth... which he knew from experience... and looked almost as though, if they had been longer, they could have been made into a knife.
"As proof that I helped kill him, of course. It's common to want a trophy of your conquests, and what is most unique about a vampire?" he asked, looking up at Vincent as he still held the two larger eye-teeth in his hand.

"I suppose..." Vincent conceded, still dabbing blood from the cuts in his face. "Well, you can do whatever you like with those. He's in no state to care anymore."

"And I didn't think you would want them... you do have greater claim, I suppose," he said, looking at them. He shrugged and put them in a pocket, turning to look at Conall. "That's weird. He's getting bruises. I didn't know dead people could get bruises."
He poked at one, half-expecting it to pop or something. Dead skin was more brittle, wasn't it?

Vincent moved quickly to pull Korlian away from the corpse with his free hand, his ribs and chest singing in pained harmony at the sudden motion of his arm and shoulder.
"I really don't think you should do that... and I can't imagine why you'd want to in the first place."

Korlian looked at him, "I've never seen a dead body before. I'm curious."
Then his eyes narrowed. "Professor... he hurt you, didn't he? You should have let me keep strangling him. He wasn't going to hurt me. He couldn't breathe."

Vincent frowned at Korlian, and his scarred, bleeding face ached all the more. "Yes, he did hurt me. Regardless, as a professor, it is my duty to protect the students of this school. And as you no doubt saw, he could easily have gained the upper hand against you as he did with me. And I would have been at fault for it had I not intervened."

"He wouldn't have, though," Korlian said... with the assurance of someone far past his years. "He was suffocating, and have you ever tried to fight when your vision is black with lack of air? Your movements are weak, pathetic. By moving, I let him get a breath and thus he was able to gain back his strength enough to harm you."

Vincent had to give him that one. The boy had a valid point.
"Touché. But let's not argue about what's done and past. The menace is dead, and we should all be grateful for that."

Korlian nodded, looking over at Conall. His eyes gaped for a moment, then he scrambled away from the body. He could swear he had just seen it breathe... To get his mind off the fact that he was actually afraid of a dead vampire when he hadn't been afraid of the living one, he looked up at Vincent... then glanced at the mask. "Why do you wear the mask, sir?"
