Sasha crouched low onto the branch, stealthily watching her prey. It was funny to her how in her previous life she didn't like cats. But now, she couldn't get enough of them, especially the big ones. They were her favorite to hunt and she held a great respect for them. Felines were one of the most smart and cunning predators, like herself.
The mountain lion sensed her, she could tell but, he couldn't pinpoint the threat. Sasha was watching him from directly above. A couple of stories up in a pine tree, she was calculating the perfect time to strike. The lion stopped his pacing for a second and Sasha took advantage of the opportunity. Sasha dropped silently from the tree and bit into the animal's jugular.
Careful, careful, She reminded herself, remember you can do this in a decent and respectful way. She loosened the intensity of her bit but kept her arms and legs around the cat to keep it from struggling. Sasha had found that if she controlled herself while feeding, she could greatly lessen the pain of her prey. Now, the cat collapsed from exhaustion and blood loss. Sasha finished feeding quickly.
When she was done she looked at the animal with tears in her eyes. She quickly chanted a prayer in Spanish and turned to leave. "Lo siento mucho hermano..." she whispered.

Lysander's animalistic instincts vanished as he drained his third and final deer for the night. He quickly wiped his mouth, feeling stratified although not as satisfied if he had drunk from a human. The forests of Forks were the perfect place for him. Big and silent. He had rarely come across a vampire, let alone a human. He didn't think he could handle him self the way he was when he was hunting near a human. When he was in this state, animal blood and human blood were almost nearly the same.
Leaving the deer behind, he ran towards where he thought the edge of the forest was. But, suddenly, a scent crossed his nose. Vampire. He wasn't sure if it was a vegetarian vampire or not. If all he knew, it could've been Victoria.
He started to run in the direction of the scent. He stopped when he saw a girl emerge from a small clearing.

Suddenly, a strong intrusive scent filled Sasha's nostrils. Dios mio, how many vampires are in this town? She quickly lowered herself into a battle stance and heard a rustling near the edge of the clearing. They're here, Sasha thought as her eyes flashed with a defensive intensity. "Who's there?" she growled.

He jumped at her fierce tone. "Whoa. It's okay. I'm a friend," Lysander declared, holding his hands up defensively. He smelled the animal blood in the air. "I was just checking out the scent. I was in the forest drinking from some deer." He pointed behind him with his thumb. "Wait – do you go to Forks High?" He studied her face. He could've sworn he had seen her around the school a few times. Though, he could be wrong, he rarely ventured away from class and/or the cafeteria.

Sasha straightened up cautiously. He smelled alright and she didn't sense any danger but, experience taught her to be careful all the same. I have seen him before. "Yes, I do go to school there... Who are you?"

Dimitri looked down from a high tree at the two other vampires. He had been keeping a close eye on Sasha.. though she didn't know how he felt. His hand rested in his jacket pocket gripping his knife. Dimitri knew it wouldn't do that much damage to vampires.. but it could distract them from his fists. He crouched on the branch listening intently.

"Lysander Rousseau," he said simply. "May I ask your name?"
He put his hands in his pocket as he looked over the girl's shoulder. Smiling softly, showing that he meant no harm, he said, "So, you've come here for dinner too I see."
Suddenly, he smelled something. There was someone else with them. The scent seemed to flow above them, in the tree tops. He knew in an instant that it was another vampire. The aroma was far too sweet for anyone else.

Dimitri stared at the new vampire angrily, but without a facial expression. He silently leaped from one tree to the other slowly coming lower to where the other two stood. He stopped a little bit above them.

Sasha smiled gently at Lysander's harmless introduction but, was startled by his change of expression. Then, she could smell it above them too. Another visitor, a vampire... Dimitri? Sasha thought confused. She looked above into the trees and spotted Dimitri glaring intensely at Lysander. What the hell is going on? Sasha thought as looked back and forth between the two, throughly confused.

Dimitri smiled down at Sasha, then looked back at Lysander.

Sasha cleared her throat awkwardly. She felt intension vibrating through the air. "Um, hi Dimitri... Have you meant Lysander? He goes to our school."

Dimitri stood up a bit rigidly. He slowly walked over to Sasha's side.

His eyes watched Dimitri intently as the vampire stood up and walked to Sasha's side. It seemed as if he was very territorial when it came to Sasha. Dimitri made his actions very clear.
Dimitri's face looked familiar enough. Lysander was sure that he had seen Dimitri at school once or twice. "It's nice to meet you Dimitri. Are you hunting as well?" For something different, I can see.

A thin smile played on Dimitri's lips at the question. He knew the other vampire from somewhere. He just couldn't place it. "You could say that."

Sasha sensed the hidden conversation underneath the one being spoken. She rolled her eyes. She had been in this situation only once before as a human. Now, she wasn't sure of Lysander's intentions but, she suspected them to be friendly. Sasha was certain that Dimitri's intentions were more than friendly.
"Well, its nice that you two know each other," Sasha said as she crossed her arms annoyed. I am not something that can be claimed like a trophy, she thought grumpily.
"What I would like to know, is why you were hiding in the trees, Dimitri." Sasha asked, giving him a stubborn stare.
