Hiro shot an icy glare to Monty as he followed Jean-Claude, only to balk at the sight of the open car door. "A... Ano...." He said, stuttering slightly. He regained his composure then addressed the French Vampire, bowing slightly. "I do not wish to be so rude as to decline the invitation, but is there a more.... natural way of getting to the 'Circus?' " He asked, choosing his words carefully, his displeasure of automobiles obvious as ever-so-slightly, he fidgeted.

Asher smirked slightly again as the tall Vampire's unsettling eyes threw a harsh glance at the Brit, telling the younger Vampire he was begining to step some kind boundry.

Monty catches the glare and smiles charmingly at Hiro, "You could always ride on the roof?" He walks to the car with the others.

"It's the most expedient way to the circus," Jean Claude glosses past Monty's remark and gestures into the car, "Shall we?"

"I think you're making an enemy. You should watch yourself," Anita mutters to Monty as she enters the drivers seat of the Jeep.

"Ugh....I'm not an alcohol person, but if I was, I would totally need a drink right now.", grumbled Drew as she walked out of her school theatre. Drew signed up to help out the talent show since she was part of the school's stage crew and she expected to do grunt work, like lifting heavy amps and stuff, but nooooo, they just HAD to give her the role of script-prompter. Apparently, she was the one of the few people that signed up for the show that had experience with the actual show and those so-stated persons were pushed into the most responsible and commanding roles available. Drew was expecting a nice ache in her arms and legs, like working out, but it looks like the places that where aching was her head. She would have MUCH more preferred aching body parts than an aching head. And yes, I know that the head is part of the body, thank you very much. "Well, although I can't drink alcohol, a large cup of coca cola got to have the same feeling being gulped down my throat.", she said as she walked to the pub closest to her school. It's a long walk to the nearest pub AND it's in the blood square, but most of the other places are closed and people won't scream and call 911 if her wings popped out. Plus, Dave kept a stash of Coca Cola just in case she felt like $4!t, which would be right now.

As she neared Dave's place, she noticed a jeep with a group of people....just outside.....chatting.... She took a second look and noticed that all of them had high levels of power around them and one of them was the city's Master Vampire. Dammit, if I my head didn't hurt like a hammer hit it, I would have sensed them a mile away. Drew thought furiously. Her temper brought another wave of pain to her head. Drew has been staying clear of any were-animals, vampires, or anything even slightly supernatural because she has no idea what will happen with all her altered genetics. Walking into a power house of supernaturals was so NOT a good idea.

((Hey... the Limmo is not a limmo. The limmo is a jeep... and also, you can swear))

(( Bi, I'm going to hurt you......:stare: ))
Asher followed suit of Anita and the others, walking to the car and giving Monty a look until the Brit slid into the middle.

Hiro glanced to Monty again, his eyes no friendlier. He took a deep breath, shedding his unfounded fear, then turned to Jean-Claude, gold and navy eyes alite with a secret smile. "Your actions are mis-spelled." He said, his whispered voice lilted with amusement. With that said, he ducked and slid into the back seat of the jeep, his claustrophobic fear rising slightly as he found himself squeezed into the back with the blonde Vampire and Monty.

((FTW?!))

((re-edited :) I thought it was Jean-Claude's car XD it would have been more funny if it was because Jean-Claude could get pissed off about how Monty's following what Anita's doing XD oh, and I didn't want to write the words out of habit and it looks nicer ;) ))

Whatever, I'm not desperate enough to get a drink that I would bring their attention to me., Drew thought. She turned around suddenly, trying to get away, but she moved so quickly that she forgot she had a splitting headache and tripped on the sidewalk as she tried to get away. "Mmmh!!!", she mumbled, as she tried to suppress a curse.

((Bikari & Drakina>> it's because you're not supposed to waste space by just doing out of character stuff XD, that's why she wants to hurt you XD))

(( Actually, that's not why I want to maim her. I have no problem with OoC chat, it makes things all the more interesting. ))

((lol, great to hear, because I got totally chewed out by my friend the last time I did that XD so, why did you want to maim her? o.O))

((EDIT: gotta go to my mom's shop to do math for a few hours :d be back soon))

Drew limped to a dark alleyway near the pub and sat down to rest for a while, hoping that her headache will go away and that her knee will stop throbbing. Slowly, she fell asleep in the narrow alley, forgetting the dangers of the night.....

((The three of us are in the same house right now. Does that help?))

Dana walked out of the bathroom to see people still staring out the window. She sighed, pushing a bit to get to the door and get out of there. She glanced at the Jeep, then turned to go back home. She noticed the random people about, but she caught a wiff of an odd scent as she walked away from the bar. She glanced at the girl, confusion written on her face. What the hell is she?

Monty slides into the back seat unhappily. Monty looks up at Asher and then turns to look up at Hiro. He faces foreward and an evil grin spreads acrooss his face, "Mummy," He says in a childlike voice to Asher, "I hate the middle seat."

Anita Almost drops her keys as she goes to start the car. She catches them and starts the car, trying extremely hard not to laugh.

Jean Claude stood just outside the car a moment recollecting himselk. The moment he seats himself and closes the door, he hears Monty. He freezes staring out the windo.

(( Your actions are still mis-spelled XD Jean-Claude has really let himself go. ))

Asher glanced to Monty, his face blank save for the edge of hostility in his icy eyes. He turned to glance at Jean-Claude, the Vampire had fallen into his stone-still, blank and distant. Asher saw the laughing man beneath the mask, and discreetly rolled his eyes.

Hiro sat back, still tense, his pale hands gripping his bag, the oblong form leaning on to Monty's lap. He glanced at the woman biting her lip, the frozen Master of the City and the cynical blonde Vampire, then to the short master beside him. 'Are these really the people Lucian wants me to bring to the coven?' He thought, eyeing them all in turn.

((Drakina, maybe you could fill some more of the NPC roles for us? Your character kinda has nothing to do until they come to find her. ))

((Who do you want me to play? And poor Dana will probably be asleep, if they start looking tonight. :) ))

Dana, hurried a bit going home, wanting her bed more than anything else right now. "Damned dog," she muttered, thinking of the time she had spent cleaning instead of closing shop. She got to her little shop, letting herself inside and re-locking the door. She slipped through the shop, going to the stairs that led up to the second level, her 'house'. She stripped off her shirt, falling into the bed with no more preparation than that, curling up to fall asleep, and maybe get some good rest in before the dreams started again.

Monty looks to Hiro with innocent eyes, "Daddy, mummy's being mean to me. She won't talk to me. Did I do something wrong?" He blinks huge eyes a few times.

Anita's shoulders shake with supressed laughter as she drives toward the circus.

Jean Claude vows to have a lengthy conversation with Monty about his ettiquette later.

((Ta'ane, you should get on Msn so Staria can talk to you))

((uh, I'l have to log into a different prof then. I'm not sure who...but they are going back to the Circus. Who do you suggest would attend the meeting?))

Asher fought the urge to put his face in his hand at Monty's antics, and kept his face blank, staring out the window.

Hiro looked to Monty's amber eyes, his glare still unchanged from before, still cold, still distant. He looked away as Asher had, but stared to his lap, his hands hidden by his bag, but they still clenched th fabric of his pants. Partially from annoyance, partially due to the cramped vehicle.

((Well, it would be considered vampire business for now, so the strongest of Jean Claude's people, or the highest in his ranks. did you read obsidian butterfly yet?))

"Auntie Anita," Monty weedled when they reached a stop sign, "Mummy and daddy are being mean to me... Will you get me a pony?"

Anita hangs her head and sighs, "No Monty. And will you please stop. I'm trying to drive." She continues forward.

Monty laughs, "All right, Anita, If you insist."

"Actually I do," she says with a note of finality.

Monty sits back for a moment, then looks down at Hiro's bag, which had landed partially in his lap. There was something in it. Something long and hard. He looks at Hiro, "There seems to be something long and hard of yours in my lap. If this is a sexual advance, I accept."

Anita looks in the rear view mirror and notices the bag. 'He's armed. He has at least one sword. Possibly more, It's hard to say with all the clothes in the bag.'

'Not very surprising.'

((Night guys.))

Drew woke up feeling a violent presence near her. Glowing read eyes stared back at her from a meter away out of the shadows. Ah.....crap, a rouge vampire, just what I need., she thought, At least my headache's gone now. A growl escaped the vampire's lips as he launched himself at Drew. Drew dodged and got away without a scratch. She ran as fast as she could down the street and turned corners right and left thinking, Shit, shit, shit, shit, I can't fly or else everyone will know, GAHHHH!!!!

((Kage, since you need more NPCs, can I take Rafeal's role? that way I can say that he knows me and stuff :) because of military connections and blabitty blah blah))

((Hey a rogue vampy >.>...... when you see my profile you'll see why that's ...convienant XD. *waiting for it to be put up.... maybe after fixing if I screwed up anything T.T....*))

(( Vida, I have no problems with you playing Raf, I'll put your name up there, k? ))

Hiro turned and blinked at Monty, one eyebrow raised. He saw the woman glance to him and the bag, a sudden knowing look in her eyes. She knew he had something other then clothes, no doubt Jean-Claude knew as well. He turned back to the short Man beside him. "Do weapons turn you on that much, Monty?" He asked, through to the untrained ear it sounded like there was no humor in his voice, it was there.

Asher glanced over to Monty and Hiro, then back out the window. He was staying as far out of this as he could.

"Well that depends entirely on how they're used," Monty says with a small leer. "And how good you are with them." Monty looks Hiro up and down slowly. "So is it," He asks more seriously.

Anita focuses intently on the road trying not to hear this. "We're almost there. The circus is just around the corner," Anita says to the people in the car. 'Richard is there right?'

'I should check' Jean Claude pulls out a cell phone and calls some one, "Yes... we'll Be there in a few moments... Is he there?... Well there's that at least..." Jean Claude hangs up. 'Yes, Ma'Petite, he is.'

Half an Hour ago:

“ R..Russle! Stop! Please…” Sarah whimpered, part of her dark hair turning more red then brown from her own blood. How could he do this to her! She didn’t.. didn’t understand… A few moments later he dropped her, stepping back as he looked at what he had done with horror. Watching his now former lover fall to the ground and lay dying… becoming what he hated… himself…

As he ran Sarah’s slightly off color eyes following him with a heartbroken look. Was she… dying? All she’d wanted was the truth… “Leeching coward…” She repeated bitterly to herself as she felt death taking her, falling into darkness quickly. So she would lay there in that dirty alley, her hair tangled around her frail seeming form. Her hoody ripped, her long black skirt flared out…. On one side of her neck the scaring bite and the other more of the long winding scar that went from just above her eyebrow down to her chest where it disappeared beneath her top…

Hiro gave a small smirk to Monty's comments and merely turned to look out the window, once again watching the buildings. He could feel the woman tense, and wondered if it was the fact she knew he was armed, or if it was the topic. He looked at the streets instead, memorizing every name and the buildings about them.

Once Hiro turned away, Asher glared at Monty, a warning look to tell him to stop his inappropriate behavior.

Damian landed on a roof of a building, the gravel sliding a bit below him. He could smell the blood even stronger now, but still little sign of the rogue Vampire. He closed his eyes, using his other senses to find the "dead" human. It was close, only a few buildings away. He opened his emerald eyes and started off to his right, jumping from roof to roof instead of flying again. He found himself standing on the edge of a building looking down into the dark of an alley. He jumped down, landing with barely a sound, the body of a young woman only feet away. He could feel her power from there, her aura still strong within her dead body. He furrowed his brows slightly and walked to her, his gaze sweeping her up and down. He stared at the deep, jagged scar that embraced the right side of her torso and face, it was old and dark, the blood from the bite on her neck adding even more contrast. There was still no sign of the rogue Vampire, but he knew this was a bit more important. He gently picked her up, the warmth had nearly completely passed, but her core seemed to not want to let it go. He looked to her once more, then took to the sky once more, heading back to the Circus.

Anita pulls into the circus parking lot and shuts off the car. She gets out and waits for everyone to be ready before heading down. She sees one of the rats come out and wait at the door.

Jean Claude gets out of the car once the engine dies, and walks around the car to stand next to Anita.

Monty shrugs at Asher and waits quietly as the engine dies and he gets out. Monty follows Asher and, once outside the car, he stretches languidly his black wife-beater showing his lean, well-muscled body off. He then walks over to stand slightly apart, but near the others.
