Mare hummed quietly to herself as she sat in what had to be the largest traffic jam she'd ever been in. She was just going through the problems this would cause when her cell phone rang. 'Phoenix here,' she mumbled as she picked up her phone knowing who it would be.
'At least you're competent about answering phones. Care to enlighten us on why you're not at this meeting, little girl?' a silkily slimy male voice purred down the connection.
'Sorry, Downe. I'm afraid I've gotten stuck in a traffic jam. Any chance you can hold out until I arrive?' Mare or rather, Maria asked as she tried in vain to neaten her luscious mocha coloured hair with one hand.
'Of course my dear but it'll cost you.' Pulling a face, Mare hung up. One of these days she'll teach that guy a lesson. He treated her like an incompetent fool yet he was constantly undressing her with his eyes. Yeah, like she'd fall for the dangerously smooth type again. She'd learnt her lesson that last time.
Sighing, Mare leant back against her seat, running her hands over her exhausted face. She needed a break more than ever and lingering in hr pathetic past wasn't helping her mood. She'd thrown herself into work and studying once she'd arrived at New York University.
Yet her academic success could never really fill that void inside. She'd be damned if she'd acknowledge it. Denial wasn't bliss but it made it easier to get up in the mornings.

Ash laughed, slightly manically, as he watched his family. 'You know I could have just sworn that you said YOU'VE LOST MY SOULMATE!' He shouted as what his elder sister had told him sank in.
'Geez Ash, calm down.' Kestrel muttered but then cringed as her big brother rounded on her.
'CALM! I'll show you calm!' Ash growled, striding towards his sister, eyes aglowing pure silver. (AN melts into puddle at thought of an angry Ash. Something decidedly sexy about a bad boy Especially this bad boy. lol.) He noticed the whole room tense their muscles so he just settled for glaring at his sister.
'Ash.' Thierry started as he tried to get something resembling order in the room. At the moment all the Daybreaker squad stood in between Ash and his extended family, weapons drawn, fists up. Ash seemed to be calming down, only a few priceless vases and windows had been broken. The same couldn't be said for when Ash caught his sisters alone. Although he had changed, it seemed that he'd just lost his one link to humanity.
