Chapter One: Meetings in the Forest
Alexandria stepped out and locked the apartment door walking out into the night, or nearly so since the sun was all-but set. Alex knew it was foolish to walk out into vampire territory at night. It was after all a vampires feeding time, but that was the point! If she was lucky, she would only have to worry about the trip back, if she could make it into New Mayhem with out being seen. She walked through the city looking for the oak tree with its black roses rapped up its trunk. After passing far too many matched driveways she reached it. She sped through the forest, she might not make it on time, so she dropped her awareness concentrating on speed. That is until she ran into something. She looked up muttering "Damn…". What she saw shocked her.
It was a tall man, well tall compared to her 5'8, who looked the classic vampire, with his black eyes and hair that faded into the twilight. She could tell by his face that he knew what, she was and she knew what he was. He eyed her warily as she asked his name "The name's Arlon, who are you to ask and what one such as you doing here is?" Alex sighed he was obviously not going to let her pass with out this information "I am just trying to find someone I… once met, that's all. His name is Coren Fen, have you herd of him?" Shock pierced his eyes so, he thought her a vampire hunter, well in a way she was but only for the night. His stance changed he was about to attack her. "Peace" she raised her hands "I mean harm to no other of your kind. Just let me pass." He eyed her copiously still not trusting her not that it mattered to her all was that mattered was that he let her pass.
Arlon POV- He moved aside sating "Fine, whatever pass." He knew what Coren did to his victims he doubted she would live the night out. However, there was some thing different about her. Her aura was so light and pure but there was an under tone of darkness so like his own. "Oh…" said the girls retreating form "and the name's Alexandria Smoke" what was a Smoke doing hunting a vampire? He wondered. He decided to follow her. Also why is she so familiar with the path to New Mayhem? Sure, since the writer Ash Night, Jessica, Aubrey's girl, had written Tiger, Tiger, New Mayhem had been uncovered. Allowing witches and vampire hunters appear right on their doorstep, making it hard on the common vampire.
Alex's POV- Alexandria wandered into Las Notches and sat down at a shadowed table near the door. Now all she had to do was wait until her Father came. This she knew was the easy part. The door opened and who else but Arlon, the last person/vampire she wanted to see with Coren not to far behind. This is odd. She thought Slide back into plan girl she commanded her self.
Arlon POV- He stared at her as he grabbed one of the many bottles sitting on the bar. So, girl what will you do now? He asked inside her head. Watch if you want to know but stay out of my way! Was her terse reply. He was tempted to strike her for her cockiness. She was defiantly unusual, Smokes were after all usually gentle and selfless with a slight air of prey but this girl reeked defiance at him and held a defiant air of a predator. She also had a strange calmness in a city full of vampires that was unusual in any mortal. He could tell Coren had been watching her fixated on the pulse in her neck. She stood up from the table and just left. "Looks like meal time to me." Said Coren as he stood up and followed her out the door.
