A Cold Night [Shadows]

[rowan kestrel amber]

Talk about a cold night for sure. Amethyst was on her way home from the bookstore after she closed up. Sure she wasn't doing very good moneywise, but she got the funds to keep herself open and enough to pay the bills. It worked for her. Even if it was just her in her small bookstore. She wrapped her coat around her tighter to keep warm against the cold wind that blew her direction. It was colder than most nights, but then again it didn't bother her very much. Since she wouldn't take a taxi home afraid of being kidnapped by some freak and later killed.

Sure she may have had some brains, but walking in the cold in a dark park may not have been a good idea. Who knew. There were plenty of hobos sleeping around here. One of them could mug her or something. That's what she was afraid of. She didn't want to be mugged and beaten up and left to die. How would that make it look to her brothers? Not that anyone cared, but Alton and Alan, but still. She loved her brothers yes, but they were a pain every once in a while.

She walked at a slow pace down the path. Her apartment wasn't far, but it felt like it when she was walking so slow. She should have gone faster, maybe her limbs wouldn't be so frozen and stiff so far.

Shadows growled as the man starred at him, the breifcase hugged close to his chest. "I told you already captain. i have no patience for imputance." The man fumbled over his words as he blurted out a rat ass explanation. Shadows rolled his eyes. God he was tired of the same damn thing all the time. Fools who think their tough, or working because they think they'll get to be an immortal. Sorry, you're in the wrong buisness working with me buddy. Shadows smirked at his own thought and realized the man had stopped talking. "Listen, I don't give a fuck. Make it work, or I'll make you die." Shadows flicked the man in the head causing him to stumble. "I want the C4 rigged and ready to blow in two days. So the shipment was late, I don't care. Make it work." Just as Shadows was about to go further a scent caught his nose.

Shadows crimson eyes moved slowly to his right. A female was headed towards them. Human from the scent and movement. Looking back to the man he nudged his head to the side. The man nodded and skittered away. Turning to face the female Shadows sighed. It had been a while since he dicked off without buisness. Deciding he was now officially on vacation Shadows stepped backwards into the darkness waiting for her. Shirtless and in leather pants and steel toed boots he reminded himself it was very cold to humans. As she approached Shadows stepped out infront of her, crimson eyes flashing red. "Well hello........nice night isn't it?" This girls blood.....it smelled.....delicious.

Amethyst looked up and jumped when she saw the man approch her. And this was one of the reasons why she didn't like walking home late at night. Meeting people like him. What did he want with her? Was he freezing? For crying out she was all bundled up in clothing and he was just wearing leather pants. Was he crazy? Or was he just weird? "Uh.... um. Cold night. Excuse me. "

[/b]

She darted around him and continuned on her way. She wasn't going to bother with this man. She had no desire to chit chat with him. And she was already cold as it was. Though she only hoped he didn't follow her. That would have been a nightmare if that happened. He seemed weird. That's all she thought of him. Weird. And. Crazy. Crazy was there a better word for it? Probably, but she was too tired to even think about it. She wanted to get home and see her cat. [/blockquote]

[shadows]

Shadow laughed as the girl ran past him after her curt reply. Shadows' crimson eyes followed her as she rushed past. 'Smart little girl. Not smart enough though...you're human which means you lack." Suddenly the dangerous looking man by the tree, the one that even slightely looking at was gone. Amethyst had gone a few hundred yards before Shadows decided to show himself again. What tactic should he use? Uhhh....same one.

Shadows suddenly stepped into the center of her path again. This mortal's blood called to him. Made his fangs want to extend though he controled it. He wouldn't show what he was....yet. Shadows red eyes flashed as though they were lights. A cruel sneer on his face. "Well I don't think it's all that cold.......what's your name? Please, don't be rude." Shadows voice was like velvet over the flesh. All smooth and comforting.

Amethyst jumped again and stopped in her tracks as she looked at the man. She was a bit freaked out by now. She sure wasn't going to give him her name. She would make one up. "Annabel Greene. Sorry. I have to go. You see I'm really late for something back home and its important that I get there as soon as possible."

[/b]

She should have came up with a better name, but at least it wasn't her real name. Who knew what this man knew. For all she knew he could have knew her father. And even then she didn't want to know him. She wanted to leave ad get home out of the cold. This was not the place for her. She wanted to leave, but something told her that he would just keep on following her. What did he want with her?

"What excatly do you want with me? I can give you money if that's what you want. Maybe it could do you go in buying a shirt and coat to wear."[/b] She was in a snotty mood now. She wanted to get home, but being bothered by this man it seemed impossible to get anywhere.[/blockquote]

[shadows]

Shadows laughed slightelym as she spoke. The sound wasn't that of a normal laugh though. From a distance no doubt it sounded that way but close at hand the low chcukle brought on and entirely new meaning. The sound was sick, slightely maniacle. The kind of laugh that promised long nights, extreme pain, blood, agony, suffering, terror, and death. Shadows red eyes flashed as fangs extended. Shadows speach was now licghtely slurred due to the length of his fangs and he made no effort to hide them.

Starring down at her he in haled again. "My you have such a delicious scent about you. It's been so very long since I've played a game....won't you play with me?" Shadows stepped closer to her, hands sliding free of his pockets. They clenched and unclenched involuntarily as he staved off the will to tear flesh and break bones. "Why lie to me female? I can smell a lie so very easily...just like I can smell your blood.....so sweeeeet." Shadows hissed as he sniffed the air.

Red eyes glowing his smile spread slowly. "Now....let's play a game. If you can make it back to your house before I catch you.....you win and I go away. If I catch you....then you become my slave, my pet. Ready?.......Go." Shadows suddenly disappeared as he waited for her to move. "Come now girl. I haven't the patience to wait very long. I'd run if I were you." The same crazed laugh echoed through the darkness.

Amethyst had started to back up when she saw the man's fangs. What the hell was he? She had never seen anything like him. Not in her life. And now he wanted to play a game with her? How was she going to win this? She sucked at most games and didn't bother playing them, but she guess no wasn't an answer as he disappeared.

She looked around for him wondering where he had gone off instead of run away from him. Was he gone for good? She hoped so as she started running. She wasn't going to get try and get herself killed, but she didn't want to be here. Not in a million years did she. She wasn't carrying much, so it helped a bit, but it didn't help that she had tripped over something and fell. Oh she had only hoped he had disappeared for good. She had only started to get up from the ground.

[shadows]

Shadows watched as the girl ran. Thoughts running through her mind quickly. Though he didn't care about what she was thinking he only wanted to hear her fear, And that's precisely what he heard. Shadows' eyes half closed as he inhaled her scent again. The sweet scent of fear was mingled swith her already delicious smelling blood. Hunger ripped through Shadows' body causing him to grunt. The game was over before she even tripped. This female would be his.

Shadows was suddenly there. Just as the female was almost up Shadows grabbed her by the back of her head yanking her skull back. Fangs traced her neck as he chuckled low. "You know something....you're sexy when you run." Shadows laughed as he lifted the girl from the ground by the hair. "Sadly I win this game. I own you now." Shadows spun and tossed the girl high into the air back towards the park. "I always had a thing for blondes." Shadows laughed before she hit the ground he caught her by the throat and held her off the ground. "Now....where shall I taste eh?" Before she could answer SHadows fang's bit through the flesh on her wrist. Suddenly he shuddered and pulled away. " Holy fuck you taste good."

[rowan kestrel amber]

Amethyst let out a scream when she heard the man was back, but what scared her the most was being thrown up into the air. Tears were falling down her cheeks as she looked at Shadows as she was held by her throat. She wanted to go home. She didn't want to be here. It was bad enough that she was already freezing. And to have her wrist bitten by him? That hurt like a bitch.

What did he mean that she was his now? She didn't understand that as she floated in the air being held by her throat. "You monster!"

[/b] She cried out as she started kicking trying to make him let her go. She didn't care what happened. She didn't want to be his play thing. His toy. His pet whatever it was that she was supposly was now. She wanted home.

Home where it was warm. With her nice soft warm bed with her cat. What was going to happen to her cat now? She didn't like leaving him behind for very long. She wanted him now. More than ever. She even wanted her brothers. Would they even know what to do? She doubt it, but it was worth a shot. If she had any chances.[/blockquote]

[shadows]

Shadows raised his eyebrows as the feeble human attempted to escape. "Me a monster? I'm no monster....but......I know someone who is. You wanna play with a real freak? Fine." A low purr came from the darkness as orange eyes flashed into existence. "Gabriel...she wants to play with a monster...can you handle that?" gabriel's laugh echoed from the darkness. "Yeah boss. I got it." Shadows laughed as he dropped Amethyst. "Very well. I have things to deal with." Shadows leaned down by Amethysts ear. "Don't run or fight him, he'll rape you.....or kill you....or both." Shadows was suddenly gone.

Gabriel laughed as he walked from the darkness. Gabriel was 6'6 and big. Wearing only knee length shorts he circled the girl. 'Well, aren't you a hot one? Blonde highlighted hair, angular face.....nice build." Gabriel chuckled. 'Shadows trying to ruin my fun as usual." Gabriel purred as he closed in on her. Crouching his feline movements marked him as a predator. 'So....you ever been fucked?" Gabriel's orange cat eyes flashed as he spoke.

[rowan kestrel amber]

Amethyst yelped as she hit the ground. What in the world was going on here? She lead a peaceful life. Not one that invovled freaks of nature. She was wondering who the vampire was talking about until the man came out of the shadows. She was scared. She didn't know what was going on, but after hearing the vampire tell her not to run or fight she sat still.

She looked at the newcomer and saw that all he wore was a pair of shorts. Was this man crazy just as the vampire was? Something was up because this man should have been freezing. She knew she was and she even had a coat on. She gulped as she saw him circle around her. She shook her head no when he asked her a question. She wasn't going to answer him. It would have been a bunch of words that didn't need to be said to him.

[shadows]

Gabriel growled low as she merely shook her head. Orange eyes flashed as he bared his teeth slightely. "I don't want to see you move unless you're running or attacking me. I want some fucking answers use you're voice." Gabriel cnarled and slammed his palm into her chest. No doubt the human skid across the ground a few hundred feet with the power he threw into it. Standing he walked slowly towards her. "Go ahead, run...please run. I wanna see if you can get away from me." Gabriel's maiacle laughter echoed through the trees.

Suddenly he was infront of her, his face an inch from hers. "Now you didn't answer my question. That was a denial to answer, not a real answer." Gabriel gripped the females throat as he purred, his fingers tracing small circles down her throat. "Have you ever? Ever even been kissed? I doubt it...you seem far too shy." Gabriel laughed as he spoke.

[rowan kestrel amber]

Shocked to have been pushed so far from where she was sitting she let out a cry as she pulled herself into a ball. "Leave me alone!" she cried. Tears ran down her cheeks as she felt the man grab her throat running circles down it. She didn't want to answer him so she shook her head no again. She wasn't going to give him anything. She had enough of this mess. Once was enough. She could barely feel her limbs by now. Let alone her own fingers.

"No. And No. Please. Just leave me alone. Please." she begged as she looked up at him. She didn't want to play this game with him. She didn't want any of this. Was someone going to walk by or was everyone in bed besides these monsters tormenting her? "What do you want from me?"

[/b] she asked as she looked up to see his face. She had stopped crying after the tears froze to her cheeks. She knew it was worthless to try and run. She was just a play toy for trouble.[/blockquote]
