Mistys of Misery
Part three

Eirene sighed heavily and knew she had only one choice, pulling in a breath she stepped out. They didn't notice her yet. Gripping the railing as though it would save her, she made her way down. The dark haired girl noticed her first and drew in a surprised gasp. Karl turned and somehow went even whiter. He shot a quick look over to the wild boy and then at the velvt one. The blonde girl arched a perfect brow and looked at Karl.

"Is it just me or does she look like you?" She asked lightly.

"Guys this is Eirene." Karl's voice was tight. " Eirene these are-"

"I know what they are." She said, looking around at the group. " Not that it matters anyway."

The wild one chuckled, " I like her Karl, she's got balls."

Karl didn't look relieved at that comment, instead he frowned. " Eirene meet-"

The boy sprang out his chair and landed a few feet from her. " I can introduce myself Karl. Nice to meet you, name is Marty."
Eirene drew back a step as he held out a hand. "I know you too." She said and took one more step away. "I saw you at the road house that night."

He grinned, fangs sparkled. " What were you doing out at that hour?"

She shook her head. " I have a question for the blonde."

Essie smiled softly, " And that would be?"
Eirene kept her eyes steady on Marty, " Any relation to mysterious Cousin that went missing when she was eighteen?" It was spoken in smooth Russian, not as classy as the blonde, but perfect nonetheless."

Marty glanced over at her, " What did she say?"

"What gave me away?" Essie returned in Russian.

"I have a lot of spare time these days. Reading about obsecure royality is a favorite pastime."

Essie stood up and swept past Marty to Eirene. " Care for a tour?" She used English this time and before Eirene could argue lead her to the moving wall. Karl scrambled after them and was followed by the others.
