Carlise was walking down a littl street in Venice. He admired the clean air and the hoptiable people that offered hellos. He had left the family in a nice little boarding house a few blocks back. Today he just wanted to admire the city by himself and remember the of his vampire youth. He stumbled across a quaint restaurant and besided to people watch. He walked up to the little building and asked the waitress for a cup of coffee. A familiar scent teased his nose, but he wrote it off as another vampire in the area. He waited by the counter for his coffee, then went and found a small table toward the street on th patio. The scent filled his head again, he scanned quickly for another vampire. He seen only a few elderly coupls and young kids. He took in another breath and realised what he was breathing in. He was smelling Nessi or some one just like her. Again he looked over the patio again, this time looking very carefully. And he finally seen her, plus the massive amoung of food on her table. He couldn't see her face because of the inky curls hiding her face. Her mane was held back by massive headphones, blaring some new Lady Gaga song. Her head was slightly bobbing causing her curls to bounce and catch the light. It gleemed with hints of gold and shone like glass.
Finally she looked up. She looked to have been about 16 years old. Her lips were a perfect pink rose, slightly sparkling from fruity smelling lip gloss. Her big green eyes were framed by thick eyelashes. Her eye make up curled out dramaticly out making her eyes look even bigger. On her nose she had to silver rings and a perfectly arched eyebrow pierced. And on her upperlip she had a little diamond accentuating her lips. She wore a bright pink ttee shirt under a leather jacket and jeans. On her feet were a pair of purple Converse and a backpack laying next to her. She angrily set a pink DS on the table and grabbed a few french fries off her plate and ate them. She reached for the milkshake glass in front of her and sat back, looking over the street. After drinking the last of her shake she got up and and threw some money on the table and begame to gather stuff up in her bag. Carlise stopped watching and got up to go talk to her. He needed to study her and her coven, surely she had one.
Slowly he walked over to her, and as he got closer she turned quickly and looked at him. Then she darted off, and Carlise was in quick pursuit. She wasn't as fast as her was and he caugh her easily. Her had ahold of her around the wait and she started talking in quick sloppy Itailen.
"Stop. I know your not Itailen," Carlie said and she quicly stopped struggling. Then she started to blabber in perfect French. "Arretez ce jeu!"
Her eyes grew wide and she strartedd to srugle again. So Carlise took her down a small alley away from prying eyes.
"I just want to talk to you. I know what you are." Carlise told the still strugling girl. She stoped took a deep breath and finally spoke.
"What do you want?" her voice was perfect with a slight French accent. He let go of her and she turned to face him, " My name is Natalie." She extended her hand and they shook.
"I'm Dr. Carlise Cullen. And I would like to study you. And meet your coven."
"What coven? I'm all alone."
"Oh. Well, then would you like to go back to my hotel room and meet my coven?" he said with a smile. But she looked very weary and looked down the alley planning to try and escape, " We are a very different type of coven. And we have one like you." She looked right into his eyes as if trying to see his thoughts. Then she relaxed again and she gestured with her arm.
"Lead the way Dr."
The two walked up the little alley and back on the main street. They began the walk back to the family's hotel. Natalie had since put her music back on. He just marveled at her as they walked. How much could she help in revealing the mystey that is Nessi? Slowly they weaved their way through the city, closer and closer to the hotel. Finally they arrived and Carlise tapped her should and took off her headphones.
"This is it. I have aa pretty big family, but don't be intimidated. They don't mean any harm." he gave her a smile and for the first time she smiled back, "Lets go." Then they walked in the front doors.
