The other vampire clan leader as well as the two elf leaders watch the small fight in slight interest. The vampire leader being male, with dark blond hair and. The two elves each have blond hair, the male's being darker than the females by marginal degrees.

John smiles a bit upon seeing his rival vampires be beat by a human. He watches them be carried outside and chuckles to himself at the scene it caused. "Such a feisty human, just so desperate to protect her immortal sister." He says in admiration and thanks to her for protecting his own member.

The two elves just nod. "Very strange, that strength is nearly inhuman," The female one says. The male elf next to her kisses her head silently.

John scoffs at the tender gesture, "You two may be sweet to each other and from opposite clans, but I don't support that within my race, so don't give my younglings any ideas." He says with a sneer.

"Don't mock us John, we have peace, but enough members that we need two clans." Barlett says nestling her head beneath Ketne's.

"You have peace, but you do not have love. You may hug and kiss each other as much as you like, but you don't love each other," He says looking away and back to see Mira go back behind the bar to take Jake's place.

Sam, John's second in command comes up behind him. "Sir," He says as greeting.

John moves forward and settles at the bar.

XxXxXx

"Can I help you, sir?" I ask politely but with a bit of a flush in my cheeks at knowing now that he saw what happened.

"I wanted to thank you, on behalf of the clan, and two bloody romps, please." He says with a charming smile.

"It was nothing, considering that she is my sister." I say as I move about making his drinks.

When I set them on the counter he speaks again, "I don't believe that we have officially met." He says shifting the drinks over, one to the dark skinned man next to him and his own side. He then holds out his hand gently, not as though to actually shake it, but with an old fashioned feel "I am John." He says and kisses my hand when I rest it in his.

I blush and splutter for a moment, "Mira," I say and quickly withdraw my hand when he releases it.

I see him frown, and when he turns in his bar stool to look out at the dance-floor, I admire his features. His sandy blond hair and rather tall stature. The muscles seem to want to burst through his clothes, and I feel my panties begin to grow wet. I blush upon noticing that these observations haven't gone unnoticed. The man next to John stares at me brazenly and I look away from his dark eyes and face. His hair seems to change from a deep brown to black as he chuckles to himself darkly.

I see John turn in his seat, but I have my back to him before his green eyes can meet my blue. I move on down the bar, as Luisa comes up with some orders. I fill them and watch her sashay tauntingly to the customers, and I promise myself that I will scold her for acting like a slut in my bar.

I lean back on the counter, back to my customers, and sigh. This reprieve was short lived when I feel a tap on my shoulder and I leap into the air.

"Gosh, such a little ball of energy, aren't you?" John says still behind me as he goes over to the open end of the bar and waves me over. I shake my head.

"I'm busy if you don't mind, if you want to talk, then you can wait until I close the place." I say boldly, knowing that he won't hurt me. He scowls then goes back to his seat, but I notice him eying me the rest of my time. I begin to grow skittish and finally swap with Terese, the bar duties. I go out and get drinks for my customers, but when I come to the bar to collect those drinks again, I feel his eyes return to me.

I shudder, and look to the clock, seeing that there is only a half hour till we close. I see several men with girls on their arms walk out, and I go to the door to see that they have drivers so I sigh in contentment that they won't get hurt, as though they could.

I walk back in and shiver the cold away from my skin. I go behind the bar again and wipe it down. I tell the girls to gather glasses and as they return with trays full, I wash them diligently. When I hear the music dim, I know that there must be only a few customers.

I turn around, drying the last glass and see that the only people left are John and his second. I glance to the door and see an odd couple leave, giving me a sparing glance before the door closes behind them.

"So," John says openly as I come out of behind the counter. I scowl slightly for a moment, then yelp when a set of strong hands grab at my hips. I put my hands on Johns arms and attempt to push him away. He keeps himself firmly in place and just then Jack comes out of my office with a slip of paper.

"Hey Mira- UH!- umm, sorry, just wanted you to see the profits of this evening, umm but... I'll leave you to it! BYE!" He says dropping the paper on the far edge of the counter and dashing away.

"Wait, don't-!" I shout after him, but the crash of the door slamming shut makes me stop.

"I don't know why I can't control myself around you!" John says leaning his head down and nibbling at my earlobe. I yelp, then moan as he moves farther down and kisses my neck.

I groan again and feel my panties get wet again. I hear him breath in deeply and he suddenly humps against me. I move my hands from his arms to his neck, and spread my legs a bit wider. I suddenly regain my senses and slip my silver knuckle-dusters on and hiss in his ear.

"Unless you want the same treatment, your rival's second got, please remove your mouth from my neck, remove your hands, and take six paces back." I growl.

He chuckles for a moment, then does as I command. "My apologies, as I said, I can't control myself." John says, flicking out a lighter and cigarette.

I scowl and walk to check the restrooms. When I find no one there, and had already heard the other two girls leave, I sigh and go back out, ignoring the two men. I go to my office and lock it up. I flick off the bar lights and gesture them towards the door.

"Would you like to come over?" John asks genuinely as he takes a drag on his smoke. When he puffs out it swirls up and I wrinkle up my nose at the smell, I allow it in my bar, but not many actually take advantage of it.

"No, I wouldn't." I say as I walk towards the door.

"You are bold to refuse my lord," The dark skinned vampire. "You are human, but are acquainted with night children, you know our customs and you still refuse him of his desires," He says with a deep scowl as he places himself in my way.

John walks up to him and places his hand on his shoulder, "Don't threaten her. Let's just go Sam," he says looking at me with a gleam, and I know that he won't fully drop this.

I gesture towards the door again, hit the lights as I exit and turn the key in the lock. "You can come back tomorrow night to see if I feel any different, but I can bet that I won't." I say pocketing the keys.

"Hmph," John grunts with a smirk and walks away. "We'll see." He says vaguely, and when they disappear around the corner, I begin to walk briskly to my car, in the cool air.

I pull out my keys again, but hear something behind me, and just as I turn, I feel a sharp hit to the back of my head. I drop instantly and feel myself caught before I fall unconscious.

XxXxXx

I groan and roll over, but feel my wrists pinched a bit uncomfortably underneath my body. I wake instantly and bolt upright. I tug at my hands and find them chained, then try to stand to see that the chains continue into the floor.

"Our pretty bird wakes!" I hear a girl cackle. I look around and see that the empty warehouse isn't really empty. Out of the shadows comes over a hundred vampires. The leader is obvious to be the girl who spoke earlier. The little girl stands with at least a dozen guards right around her. She erupts into peals of laughter and I hiss at the shrill sound. "You look surprised, but considering you killed my second in command, you shouldn't," she says in contempt at the last part.

"I didn't kill him, he messed with my sister, and I just gave him what he deserved." I spit at her.

"Oh, then how do you explain this?" She says throwing an object at me, upon hitting the floor I gasp and cringe away from it, finding it to be the second's disembodied head.

I turn my head away and resist the urge to throw up. "I swear I didn't do it!" I say.

"You may not have, but your vampire employee did, so that leaves you just as responsible." She says with a scowl.
