I can fly?! [Open!][NR!]

Her laughter filled the air, happy and free, as the continuous creek of the metal chains indicated the swings constant movement. She had never been on a swing before: and had spent about the past fifteen or so minutes being shown exactly how to make the lovely thing work. She wasn't afraid of heights, which was a bonus, because her head was already almost even with the upper bar that the chains of the swing connected to.

She was in a park, the stars just beginning to show through the darkening sky. There was a path behind her, one of many that led the way around the park, many trees and bushes and flowers and grass, and some benches. A slide and play-set was over to the right on the other side of the tree line, but she didn't bother with that. She was all about the swing!

"Weeeeeeeeeeeeee!", more laughter!

Cala sat not on one of the nearby benches or on some of the grass which would have been where a normal person sat, but instead on top of the bar of the swing that the chains were connected to. She was a bit off to the left, her mismatched gaze focused on her sister's swing which was in front of her and below. A smiled covered her face, both filled with happiness as well as the unhinged craziness that was normally there.

She had journeyed to the park with her sister, and had even taught her how to swing. She figured her sister had spent more than enough time stuffed under the ground, surrounded by the corpses of her friends, to have to be stuck up in their suite that Alec had given them: even if it was awesome.

Her right hand was up by her neck, spinning the pendant Alec had given her from right to left as she kept her gaze focused on her sister and her senses on what else was moving around in the park. She knew the darkness brought around all manner of rather nasty things, perverts, pedophiles, or just the ordinary asshole that liked to prey on children.. and she wasn't about to let anything happen to her sister.

"Just be careful you don't fall, Devon." Not that her sister honestly had to worry, Cala was more than fast enough to catch her if she started to move towards the ground, but she would rather not risk it if it didn't have to be risked.

General/Lord Posts : 196 Credits : 119850

She pumped her legs in and out repeatedly, pushing the swing higher and higher as she laughed more, head thrown back as she felt the enjoyable sensation of the constantly shifting wind on her face. She heard Cala's warning for her to be careful just as she opened her eyes and stared upwards at her sister.

"Don't worry, Cala. I won't fa--", her words turned to a surprised yelp of shock and fear as her grip slipped when the swing gave a bump from how high she had been going. Eyes flew wide as her entire bottom slipped off of the seat, her entire form speeding to the ground as fast as gravity could take her there.

Underboss Posts : 290 Credits : 80125 Location : Edge City

Her eyes tracked her sister beginning to fall before she had even had the time to yelp. Cala threw herself into movement, her form not even a blur, as if she had simply teleported from spot to spot, even though she hadn't. One moment she was sitting on top of the swing's bar, the next she had positioned herself next to her sister, arms bent to cradle her sister's form as it hit her arms instead of the mostly hard ground.

She blinked down at her sister for a moment before slowly placing the small child back on her feet. "See? Falls happen... but don't let it stop you." She patted her sister on the head and then bent her knees, jumping herself back up to the bar where she gracefully landed and sat back down, once more Indian style as she kept her gaze trained on her sister, and her senses on everything else that was going on around them.

I stared at the two females who were by the swings. I was hungry and wanted a snack and that little girl would do just well. I wanted to know what she tasted like but I knew that I would first have to get rid of the other female. I was seated on a bench close by and I was just staring and looking. I imagined what it would feel like for my fangs to pierce the flesh of the little girl while I knew that I would soon find out. I saw the girl fall and hoped that she would get slightly hurt so I could get a smell of her blood, but I had to watch as I saw her sister save her.

General/Lord Posts : 196 Credits : 119850

A soft "umph" escaped her as her sister caught her: it was far more comfortable than she could have imagined landing on the ground would have been. She knew the fall wouldn't have killed her, but it was the shock of the sudden fall that had made her yelp in the first place. All in all, she thought she was doing pretty well, all things considering. When her sister put her back down another giggle escaped her and she nodded. She wasn't about to give up that easily: she always got back up when she got knocked down, or at least she tried.

She grabbed onto both chains of the swing once more and placed her butt back down on the swing's seat. Kicking off of the ground she got the swing moving again. After another, harder kick to gain more height, she began to pump her legs in and out again, beginning to go higher and higher. She looked up at her sister and giggled. "How do you stay up there like that without tilting over and falling, Cala? Can you teach me how?" She would love to learn that neat little trick, if she could. She was wise enough to realize her sister wasn't human, and what she was (or mostly what she was, some of it had made little to no sense), but she was still willing to give it a try if her sister was willing to teach her.

As she waited for her sister to respond she looked over to the man she hadn't noticed until that point, who seemed to be sitting on a bench and staring at them. She didn't know much yet about the modern world she had found herself suddenly thrown into, but even back when she was born when people watched you like that it normally meant they were up to something.

The male had no idea why he was here.

Perhaps it was the laughter of children that drew him, stirring something within; reminders of something forgotten, something worth remembering. He caught flashes of it everynow and again; the warm embrace of someone holding him, of white wings closing around his body. The sense of protection he felt, something he wanted again. He tried to remember more, before the pain kicked in. It was the headache that stopped him from remembering things; it hurt to think back; to try to peer through the fog in his head. The images felt real, but when he tried to grasp them and bring them forward, the became smoke. Perhaps they weren't real.

But this... it was places likes these that eased the pain, made the memories more 'solid', more real. Perhaps in time, he could remember. But for now, he was okay. Digits gripped a cup of coffee, red eyes looked about the ear, catching sight of a pair by a swing set. The larger one.. she seemed incredibly acrobatic, if not supernatural with her movements. It took the male a moment to anaylze her, sharp eyes picking up on sublte movements, or rather, the lack of.

No pulse...

Perhaps, but judging from the younger child's reaction, he came to the conclusion that the two were together. Odd. Mother and child? They did seem to bear a resemblense to each other.

Miracles do happen...

With a small smile, and another sip of coffee, those eyes picked up on another persona in the vicinity, a male. Kishaan's head tilted, a frown corssing his features. This one seemed to be staring intently at the previous duo, watching them. For the moment, Kishaan could not tell whom the male was watching exactly. Once more, those red eyes took the measure of a person, and again, picking up the sublte details.

No pulse...

Huh? Weird.

He didnt seem to share any features with the other two. Maybe, he was a boyfriend?

Three people, two without pulses, and a child that did.

Perhaps today would not be so boring.

Sip slow. The show is about to start.

'What the fuck?'

Words spoken mentally as she picked out key phrases. She was always keeping an eye out or an ear out for anything that happened to involve the safety of her sister. Nothing would separate them again, ever. She would make damn sure of that. She had promised exactly that when she had got her sister to stop screaming and crying upon waking up: never again. Never. Again.

Her mismatched gaze shifted to the male sitting over on the bench. His sudden or not-so-sudden appearance instantly agitated her. Instantly put her on guard, despite the way that she kept her form relaxed: it was simple, tension led to slower movements, but keeping yourself in a relaxed state led for you to be able to move your body at a moments notice.

Unguarded thoughts filled her brain, those of the male who also happened to be a Malkavian, and any other man, woman, or child (including her sisters) that were nearby and able to be picked up. The wind brought the scent of coffee to her nose, indicating another person nearby. But she didn't care about whoever that was for the moment, instead she was focused on the male who had had the thoughts of tasting her sister.

She had told Alec Kane that she would keep her nose clean while working for him, and while in his city, and she wasn't the type of person to go back on her word... but those thoughts, those thoughts angered her. Made white hot fury flow through her veins. One warning. She would give him one warning and that was it. The thoughts took less than a tenth of a second, her mind working fast as lightning.

"Sir, it would be in your best interest to either leave or stop in your current train of thoughts. That is my sister you're thinking of drinking from and if you attempt it I will do everything in my power to stop you." She would leave her sister's question unanswered for now, surely her words would alert the child to something being wrong, and keep her from being upset over her question being ignored. She would remember to answer it later, when this situation no longer posed a threat to her.

I laughed out loud and I slapped my knee as I heard the older girls warning. I thought she was so silly and paranoid. I thought she was only going to get herself killed in the end, but I didn't care. I wanted that little girl and that was who I was going to take. I figured I could take on the woman, I didn't think she looked that powerful or that imposing. I was going to win this, I just knew it. "I think you should mind your own brain, girl scout. I'm hungry and she looks tasty, and I take what I want." I laughed again. "If you don't want to see me eat her then I suggest you leave and go run along somewhere and find something to play with." I stood up from the bench and stretched towards the sky while licking my lips.

General/Lord Posts : 196 Credits : 119850

She was confused at first, wondering who exactly her sister was talking to since no one had said anything; or as far as she could hear. She knew her sister could hear far better than her, so it wouldn't have surprised her so much if someone had whispered something that she didn't hear. She would have been slightly upset over her question not being answered had her sister's words not alerted her to some sort of danger brewing.

She didn't want danger. She wanted to play at the park and have fun, and then maybe go back to that super tall building that still scared her slightly, and climb into that giant bathtub and try to swim in it. Or go eat ice cream until her brain started to hurt and freeze. She didn't want to deal with this: not this soon after recovering from that long /sleep/ that she hadn't even really been asleep for.

She dragged her feet on the ground, kicking up a cloud of dust as she stopped the swing. Her lavender colored gaze remained on the man, while she watched her sister from above out of the corner of her eye. She kept herself quiet, a shudder running through her at the mans words. He wanted to eat her? Why would anyone want to eat her? She couldn't imagine she tasted very good, probably really plain and salty. Was he some sort of vampire too? Or maybe something scarier like out of the children's stories the old orphanage owner used to read to them?

Citizen Posts : 23 Credits : 350

Well now.

Another sip from the cup of coffee, another pause as he watched the interaction between the trio. The elder sister seemed pissed off, that was sure, and she was glaring at the other pulseless individual. Some sort of exhange, words spoken in a violent tone.

"Sir, it would be in your best interest to either leave or stop in your current train of thoughts. That is my sister you're thinking of drinking from and if you attempt it I will do everything in my power to stop you."

"I think you should mind your own brain, girl scout. I'm hungry and she looks tasty, and I take what I want."

Well now, wasn't that a little cocky? Kishaan's frown deepened. He didnt like cocky people.

"If you don't want to see me eat her then I suggest you leave and go run along somewhere and find something to play with."

That's not nice. Given how this female moved, Luca surmised that she was a vampire.

Miracles do happen..

Another sip, red eyes watching as the male stood up and stretched, and licked lips-- was that a fang? Was he also a vampire?

Wonder-fucking-ful.

That head tilted again, compiling the information; The two females looked very much alike, save for one was a vampire, while the other was a child, who was very much alive. An elder sister turned vampire, whom was still trying to give her younger sister a 'life', whatever that could mean nowadays. It was touching.

But here was another male, a vampire as well, bent on making a meal out of the child? Yea, the older sister had every right to be pissed off. It pissed Kishaan off as well, these two probably had no other family, save for each other. What right did this male have to take that away? Kishaan could understand being hungry; vampires needed to eat as well. But to outright ignore a reasonable request?

No. No one should have to suffer like that; the loss of someone dear to them.

Mother...? Where are you..? I can't find you.

The male dropped his cup, pain rocking through his head as something stirred within. Something that happened almost always before things went bad. It was painful, but something cleared up, a memory fragment, another peice to the puzzle.

Green eyes. Kind eyes..

Don't let him hurt her, please...

As you wish.

He wasn't going to listen, it was a pity really. Eyes instantly turned violet in color, matching for once as they usually were two separate colors. The changing of her eyes indicated one thing: Auspex. She wasn't going to fool around, and she certainly wasn't planning on causing some sort of widespread destruction: she was simply preparing herself, and the affect was instantaneous.

Auspex:

Just as she had moved before when catching her sister she moved again, movements too fast to be perceived by normal eyesight. Once again it would be as if she teleported from one spot to the other due to her lightning fast speed even though she hadn't teleported at all, one millisecond she was seated on top of the swing set pole listening to the man talk about how he was going to eat her sister, and the next she was in his face. What was he doing? He was stretching. He was off guard. She had used her vampiric speed to move, and would do so again with vampiric strength behind it. In the time it would take to blink an eye her hand formed into a fist and moved through the air, to smash into the male's jaw hard enough to shatter it into dust if he didn't dodge it. How could he, though? He was in the middle of running his mouth and stretching... Time would tell what this male would do, dodge somehow? Or be knocked flat on his ass with his jaw bone turned into dust.

Vampire Physiology:

Either way, she was more than prepared for whatever sort of counter this male vampire might have...

Citizen Posts : 13 Credits : 300

I screamed and clutched my jaw. I couldn't believe how fast this girl was. I should have stopped while I was ahead but I was hungry. I flew backwards and landed on my ass as I held my broken face. I reached over and picked up a giant boulder and threw it at the girl who had punched me. I was going to get her back for what she had done and then I would eat her sister.

Spoiler:

General/Lord Posts : 196 Credits : 119850

Oh god, there was fighting. Only... well, she couldn't see it, at least not all of it. It was like her sister kept disappearing before her eyes and reappearing elsewhere. Hands flew up over her mouth as a gasp escaped her. Her sister had just punched that man so hard in the face he had an obvious broken face and had flown backwards? How strong was her sister?

She wasn't going to try to interfere despite the fact that she could use magic: she didn't want to risk accidentally causing harm to her sister, or the other person she had noticed nearby. Her lavender colored gaze just moved from person to person, wondering what was going to happen next...

Alec got up from his desk. He simply opened the window behind him, and leapt out of it. He left behind his dufflebag, because he wouldn't need it. Alec was tired of instantly splattering people all over the scenery. For once, the Angel known as The #1 Killer didn't want to instantly end someone before they even knew what was going on, he wanted someone to suffer for a change. He wanted to beat someone down and break them, then let them live with the pain and think of him every time it stung. That fucking Alec.

1,000 stories to the ground head-first. Though before he impacted the concrete he'd flip, engage his Spiritual Angelic Wings to slow his fall, and land on his feet in this park around the time this Vampire threw that boulder. Why the fuck was a giant boulder in a children's park, anyway? Who the fuck needed fired from their city job??

After landing, it took under a second to move before Cala and catch the boulder. To an ordinary person it would be extremely heavy, but to Alec, even though he looked like an average guy with not a lot of muscle, the boulder was as light as something similar to a beach ball. Alec launched the boulder upwards until it grew small and disappeared from sight.

Spoiler:

Enhanced Strength:

Silver eyes survey the scene. Cala. A little girl, similar looking, had to be her sister. A boy. Another man, a Vampire. His scent let Alec know that he was yet ANOTHER Malkavian. Great, another crazy mother fucker. Only this guy looked familiar too... could he be related to that guy Cross, the one who killed Demi and ended up as a red stain on Amaranth's resort?

"...Wanna tell me why you're down here causing one of my people to re-arrange your face, stranger?"

Citizen Posts : 23 Credits : 350

The elder sister may have started it, but Kishaan was about to finish it. He was going to end this shit, and this vampire in a moment's time. Those red eyes picked up her movements, allow him to follow her as she knocked this male onto his ass.

Well, it seemed as if he wasnt need after all. A moment later, Kishaan was on his feet, and walking away. More coffee was needed, and perhaps, a good book.

-Exit-

And then there was Kane. In front of her. And he threw the boulder up so high it disappeared after he had caught the damn thing, which had been what she was about to do. Great, just what she had been hoping to avoid. She had made a promise not to cause trouble and here was trouble: even though it wasn't her fault, and she had been defending her sister. Jooooy. She had really been hoping to stay on Alec's good side, and maybe she'd be able to that was if this guy didn't keep screwing shit up. Maybe the vampire male would just wander off to go nurse his wounds after answering Mister Kane's question, and never return again. Then maybe she could go back to watching her sister swing and have fun.

She wanted to move to her sister's side to reassure her that everything was okay, but at the same time she didn't want to let off her guard, yet. There was a chance, even though it might have been small, that this male was going to pull something out of his ass and defend himself or attack one of them, despite Kane asking him a question. She didn't doubt anything when it came to her enemies, and he had quickly made himself fall under that title when deciding he wanted to eat her sister.

Citizen Posts : 13 Credits : 300

I watched the new guy catch my boulder I threw and then I got up to my feet. I listened to the question he had asked me and I laughed. "I was hungry." I said. "I wanted to have a snack and that little girl over there is tasty. Then this big girl behind you felt she had to punch me in my jaw, which really hurt." I looked around the guy in front of me to the little girl who I thought was still sitting on the swing. "Now can you all leave so I can finish what I was doing? I am really starving." I said. I was getting angry because all I wanted was a snack and now I was having to deal with all of these people that I did not want to deal with.

General/Lord Posts : 196 Credits : 119850

More people. But, at least this new male seemed to be on her sister and her side. She listened to him ask the man who had spoke of eating her a question, little arms wrapping around herself tightly as she waited for the response. She didn't have to wait for long, as once more he spoke of wanting to eat her... and then asked them to leave so that they could. She didn't want eaten. She didn't want bitten. She wanted to play in the swing and be left alone.

"I don't want eaten...", she whispered softly. She wanted to move closer to her sister, but at the same time was afraid to. All of the horror stories read to her as a child said that fast movements or sudden movements always caused things that went bump in the night (such as vampires, werewolves, ect) to attack and eat people. So, she stayed where she was, wondering what was going to happen next, wondering if the male vampire was going to leave, and wondering who this new person who had shown up and caught the boulder was.

Her sister really hadn't had a chance to introduce her to anyone since she had found her in that mass grave and had woken her up... could this be one of her friends?

Subject: Re: I can fly?! [Open!][NR!] Sat May 18, 2013 10:38 am

"Sorry. It wouldn't be right of me to do that as a Boss, so that's not happening.

Alec turned, noticing that the boy that looked like he was about to do something suddenly leave, and started walking towards the little girl Devon. With his wings still activated, and his halo glowing brightly, and also with the way he just caught that boulder and tossed it, he believed her to see him as one of the good guys. At the moment Alec was sure he was faster than Apollos or even Cala, so if he tried anything, Alec was going to give him something worse than a broken jaw. Devon was scared and wanted her sister. From the smell of things, Alec was able to tell that she wasn't a Vampire like these two, but only human, and to this guy over here she had to look like a piece of candy.

Unless this guy tried something, Alec would move to Devon and pick her up, grinning at her, but at the same time keeping an eye on Apollos. Alec took Devon to Cala and handed the girl to her. Cala was only defending herself and her family, and Alec wasn't mad at her. He wasn't going to have another Demi situation, nor was he about to have Vampires or any other things engaging in brawls in playgrounds, not here in Edge.

He'd then turn and look closely at this guy who'd just had his jaw rocked. He looked a lot like Cross did, and Alec found himself frowning, remembering, even though Cross had become a stain; a proverbial bug on the windshield. Alec unsheathed Cross' sword, which was still sheathed upon his back.

Your Brother's Sword:

"You look like the guy that used to own this. The fact that you're here and trying to start something with some of my people only tells me that you must know i'm the one that killed him. So instead of going after a little innocent girl who has nothing to do with anything and just wants to play in the playground like any kid that has the right to, why don't you just skip through all this 'going from the bottom to the top' bullshit and just try your luck directly with me. Otherwise... I think you should be getting the fuck from downtown. This is the only pass you're getting. Next time there won't be any talking."

Alec stood there in front of Cala and Devon, waiting. Assuming all of this went down without Apollos interfering, he'd wait for him to try something, or for him to talk some shit and leave, like all bullies.

Underboss Posts : 290 Credits : 80125 Location : Edge City

Cala remained silent as Alec spoke to the male vampire, her jaw set, and both eyes still a matching violet color. She was pissed off, but if there was a chance that the male would walk away without causing further problems, and without her sister having to witness violence that would probably lead to nightmares or something along those lines, then she'd take it... even if she wanted to rip his limbs off of his body and beat him senseless with them. See? She could think rationally... sometimes.

She watched Alec pick her sister up out of the corner of her eye, keeping her gaze on the male up until Alec handed Devon to her. She held her sister close, protectively. She looked to the sword that Alec had unsheathed and winced, she recognized it... that was that nasty sword that had removed Demi's head from her shoulders... so this was Cross's brother. But why come picking on her sister? The girl hadn't even been pulled out of the ground when Demi was killed... heck, the poor girl had been out of that grave less than two or three days. Was it really because he was hungry? Or was there some sort of other motive behind this? Either way, her punching him in the jaw like that must've hurt.

Citizen Posts : 13 Credits : 300

I looked at the guy and sneered. I watched him pick up the little girl and hand her to the bigger girl and I thought about making my move but I thought against it. I was still angry that I was being denied my meal. All I wanted was some food and then I would leave but it was like all these people wanted me to starve. "I see that you have my brothers sword but that does not mean you know how to use it. I did not come here to fight you, I came here to have a snack but I guess you plan on getting in my way if that happens. I will leave for now but I will be back for my snack later on I will not forget about that little girl for a very long time." I said. I turned around and walked down the parks path while I thought up a new plan to get the little girl when I knew all of these people were not around.

General/Lord Posts : 196 Credits : 119850

She looked up at Alec as he walked over to her, blinking. She had seen his halo, and his wings, and remembered back when the orphanage used to take them to church - all of those stories about angels and how they were good people. It only helped her believe more that he wouldn't hurt her or Cala. So, she smiled as she was picked up and then handed to Cala. She wrapped her arms around Cala's shoulders and buried her face in her neck. If there was going to be some sort of violence she didn't want to see it.

She just wanted to go home at this point, go home and get away from this creepy male who kept talking about wanting to eat her. She had definitely had enough with being outside for one day; maybe tomorrow they could come back while it was still light out, her sister had already explained to her that sunlight didn't bother her, maybe then they wouldn't have to worry about some sort of creep. She didn't bother to look as she heard him say he'd leave for now.

Subject: Re: I can fly?! [Open!][NR!] Sat May 18, 2013 12:52 pm

Alec re-sheathed The Hunter. This Apollos guy didn't seem as smart or as calculating as his brother Cross was. Then again, maybe this was just an act he was putting on. He was a problem that was going to have to be dealt with.

"I'm not trying to have what happened to Demi happen again. I didn't come down here to bitch you out or anything though Cala, you did the right thing. I'll have that guy taken care of. You should look after your sister and keep her somewhere safe for now. If you encounter that guy again... well. Whatever you do to him, you won't get any flak about it from me..."

Cala had just got her sister back recently, so Alec didn't want her to become involved. Alec himself didn't want to kill this guy, so he thought that this might be a perfect job for Maxi... where ever he was. Malkavians had that cobweb thing, so he had to know what was going on.

Underboss Posts : 290 Credits : 80125 Location : Edge City

Cala watched as Apollos walked off. She was sure he'd be back at some point, probably when he thought none of them were around to keep an eye on Devon: and she vowed to never allow that situation to arise. She planned on letting her sister have the childhood she should have had a hundred times over again by now - without being a snack for some asshole who was too lazy to go after a real challenge.

Cala's eyes returned to normal after the man left; her right became sea-green while her left turned a slightly darker shade of purple. She looked over to the Boss and gave a nod to his words. "I plan on taking her back to the Tower... maybe teaching her how to work the television next... the lights amused her for a good long while." She chuckled softly, remembering; her sister must have turned the lights on and off about a dozen times - and that was before she had Cala turn them on for about every fifteen minutes up until she fell asleep just to check for monsters.

She looked off in the direction that Apollos went and then back to Alec. "If he tries anything again I plan on handling him in a more.. permanent method.", she wasn't about to go into details in front of her sister, but she was sure he could imagine what she meant: she'd rip his jaw off of his face next time and possibly the rest of his limbs.
