Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
Dr Ahsad Patel was in her laboratory working late as the undead need to be, the room was isolated from the outside noises and distractions, white light esterile enviroment with a subtle indi music playing in the background while she goes from the microscope, where she is looking at some samples of tissue to her desktop computer to check from time to time if any new email has arrived.
The room was empty, her employee had to go early, human issues with sleep and food. Better that way she thought since her cadaveric appearance is something hard to hide when many observers are around, even with her marvellous skills of deception.
At this point Dr Patel was continuing her Sire's work about Cancer, not that he was a cientific like her but he theorized that vampire blood could heal cancer, nevertheless ghouls he made to achieve that dream often died because of the cancer, the Blood only delayed the process, sometime for decades but at the end the cancer always won. Looked in microscope the cancer cells seemed to be also empowered by the Blood, as much as regular tisue would, after all is also living tissue, she thought. Dissapointing

Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
Absorbed in her working the time usually time flies, but this time something was different, time was never this slow, she calculated to be working for more than three hours, but the clocks, all the clocks, showed that only fifteen minutes have passed since she started.
Sorprised by the fact she went to the desktop PC to check computer's time and date, and again the time seem to be deceving her, 15 minutes.
Looking around in a first glance the seemed to be in order, except for little details, not specifiable but at the same time there was some sort of disorder, some things were, 'moved' slightly from the place she remembers to be their proper's. Then she noticed a feeling running through her neck, a feeling of being observed by an invisible being, softly behind the indi music some noises called her attention, something was there.
In that exact moment. The Light went out

"Identify yourself and your intentions, your prescence has been detected."
She says then immeidiatly steps to the side one step and two spaces forward silently so as to throw off the intruder of where she was standing and waits to listen and attempt to see where they are.
She knew where the flashlight was. She intended to reach it in another calculated steps and crouch and bring it off of beneath the table which she should be able to reach with another two step forward and 3 more to the side. If necessary, she would then shine the light into the face of the intruder if it seems hostile, or possibly attempt to hit it with the metal canister of the flashlight.

Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
Something, someone... was moving around the room, Ahsan was under the table grabbing the flashlight as it were a weapon, expecting her aggressor next move. Then something sharp, may be a blade, touched her neck in a gentle fashion, it was cold and sharp enough to make her bleed, one second after feeling the itch of the knife cutting through she turned rapidly and pointed her flashlight to the calculated spot where the aggressor's face would be, calculating based on the movement of that hand.
- Spoiler:
Image of the criature. The sharp object was the wraith nails.
It is not solid, looks translucid and very, very dead.
The impression was so strong that the flashlight slipped from Ahsan's hand, disappearing the horrible creature's visage into the darkness once again. Instinctively Dr Patel touched the wound in her neck to check its severity (just an scratch, not even a real wound) a second after the flashlight's bulb blew by an invisible force, shattering it and the glass into small pieces.
Then a voice, dark and ghostly, so heavy that could sink a boat, said:
"My presence is detected because I permit it, Undeaaaad..."
Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
She shudders, and rises slowly.
"Very well. Though there is no reason to call me names. You may call me Ahsad or Doctor. How can I help you? You are in my facility, and uninvited, though since I was unaware of your existence, I'll forgive that. What brings you here?"

Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
In the darkness a deep unsettling sound, like a breathing of some sort, resounded inside the room, loud and heavy, then the voice said:
"Tempt me once more and I shall turn this place to ashes, destroy everything you care for, and then it will not matter if I am invited or not, you defiled creature!"
The tone in its voice as calm as it was, still entagled a profound treat of which Ahsan was quickly aware as the creatures eyes brighted in the darkness like embers of a dying bonefire.

Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
"I'm a messenger of the deepest voice of the underworld, his Majesty has command me to notice to all of the dead that the Midnight Train is comming..." the creature voice was still calm, devious and still threating still not as a personal threat but to emphasize, how deadly important this information was.
"... in its cargo comes death and destruction, violence in flesh and bone, banishment from existance for all who live and those who not, it comes to free her brothers, it comes to turn this city to the Maw of Oblivion.
You have been warned undead, take this word to those you care for... MIDNIGHT TRAIN..." said the creature while it vanished from the vampire's presence.

A few moments after the light came back on and everything started to look just as normal as it used to be.
Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
She listens intently and writes it down on a small notepad with her pen.
"Thank you for your message oh spirit."
{It must exist on another plane of reality cocurrent with our own.}
She makes a call to her sire.
"This is Ahsad, I have important news I just recieved that effects...everyone? Especially those of our...community?"

Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
As Ahsan knew her sire had not telephone or anyother electronic mean to contact him, her call was for one of his ghouls who had a phone indeed, and who would take the message to him as soon as possible.
"Yes Misses, I will send this message at once." said the ghoul that was taking Ahsan's message.

- Charleston Brooks (Biography)
Heir of an old lineage of Haitian magis, son of Jaques Brooks a Jamaican who moved to Haiti trying to find his grandfather in order to know his roots got in love give a beutiful resident of the island named Johanne, Charleston's mother. Both belived in their own way in God, and in the tools left by him to the people, Magical tools, meant to ease the pain and suffering that the world could cause.
Jaques was borned in 1480, a royal family member among the Jamaican people, from a very young age he became an adventurer, loved the sea and enjoyed very much to travel between the vecinity of other islands, with the excuse of been looking to exchange and comerce with them but deep down looking for his origines which he suppoused were in that Island.
In one of his trips he found a beutiful ebony girl of 14 years old, two years younger than him and instantly became in love. As time passed he started to pass more and more time in Haiti, eventually got married with Johanne and had childrens with her. In the mid time he went from one corner of the island to the other looking for his grandfather whom was seen many years ago but had been lost in the deep woods of the eastern part of Haiti. Drove crazy by the need to know he got too far inside that forest, looking for any clue that could lead him to know his past, so deep that after nightfall he went lost.
At the merci of the poisonous snakes and the other creatures of the swampy forest he was reaching a certain death, while begging to his Gods for help a criature found him following the sound of his voice. Was not other than Baron Samedi itself, the visage was so horryfing that Jaques tried to scape from him, but the forest obeyed every command of the undead and grabed Jaques entagled to a tree. That day Jaques was embraced.
Johanne on her said knew in the bottom of her heart that Jaques was dead, so a year after Jaques departure she became married to another man. One night a few years later, on October 31st Jaques came out of the forest transformed into an unliving skeleton, went to his house looking to see once more his lost love and then he found her in bed sleeping with another man. The Kindred was so angry, so mad that he enraged and went into the house destroying everything and everyone on its path. The first one to die was the love of his life, then her husband and afterwards each of her son. Charleston who was a young man at that time was out of the house and came from a party where he was with his friends, when he got home he found her mother in the arms of a hedious creature who was holding her, crying without tears and screaming, mourning for her death, Jaques had come to his sense and looked at the destruction he caused still he feared too much to give the embrace to his love, Johanne, feared that she would hate him for eternity.
When Charleston got close, brave and resolute, Jaques turned and looked at him recognizing his child, the living skeleton saw then the solution to his depravity, he would give eternity to his child to compensate what he did to his own wife and children. He stood up and walked to Charleston who used a stick to hit the undead skull as hard as he could but no harm was done, Jaques took his son by the neck and snaped it as a stick and feed his own son with his blood.
A decade after Charleston diablerized his own Sire and Father when he found out about his father doing's.
To be continued...
"Yes Misses, I will send this message at once." said the ghoul that was taking Ahsan's message.
(Note: you can add anything else you wish to that message it will be delivered to Charleston)
Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
"Yes though the words are very strange so write them down if you can and try not to be frightened."
What I believe is commonly reffered to as a spirit, came unto me, and was not very nice, but delivered the message that said, "I'm a messenger of the deepest voice of the underworld, his Majesty has command me to notice to all of the dead that the Midnight Train is comming..."
"... in its cargo comes death and destruction, violence in flesh and bone, banishment from existance for all who live and those who not, it comes to free her brothers, it comes to turn this city to the Maw of Oblivion.
You have been warned undead, take this word to those you care for... MIDNIGHT TRAIN..."
Which as you can imagine was rather disturbing and something I thought Charelston should be made aware of right away."

Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
The ghoul took note of the message and went to find Charleston, task the would usually take at least a full day to go forth and back with the answer.
Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
Hanging up the phone, she determines that perhaps she should inform the other afflicted with the condition she has in its various strains, of the dire news she has just recieved.
She contacts her contact within the Cammarilla, the Nosferatu Primogen.
"Good evening, this is Dr. Ahsad Patel, is this Marshal of the title and lineage I shouldn't speak of over the phone?"

At the other side answered a female voice, gentle and curious who said:
"Good evening Dr Ahsan, this is Christine, How are you doing this evening?

Re: Down with the sickness (Ahsad)
"Good evening Christine. I am well, if a bit shaken up by a visitor with a strange message I feel Marshal should be made aware of, and by extension the others who share the night. I will visit very soon then, thank you. I also have some other issues I wished to speak with him about. The office address please?"
