A lot of nothing to say. [Anton]

[Alira Sweetnam]

She sighed, entering the forest. She hadn't planned on coming to the forest. That is until she caught a scent. She could smell another vampire. But where? She knew the vampire was in the forest somewhere, so she walked, going in the direction the smell came from. How did she know where it was coming from? The scent became either stronger or more faint.

Finally, she spotted the vampire. It was a boy.. Not much taller than her, maybe the same age as her- in human years. She noticed he wasn't walking. But she didn't know what he was doing, so she stood, half hidden by a tree, watching him.

[kiko]

Wait.
That smell. So familiar, yet, I didn't know who it belonged to. I stood frozen. Inhaling deeply, not looking around, not bothering to listen to the crap around me. Well, it may as well be crap for all I care. The world could be exploding, and I don't think I would care. But how would I know? It hasn't happened.

Shut up fool. Cut the thoughts. The smell.

I snapped back. I inhaled deeply. I instantly knew what it was.

Another vampire. My eyes followed the sent. My sharp eyes caught a image of the vampire before she hid. A smile played on the corners of my lips. I looked at her, my eyes sharp, and deadly. I didn't know how she would respond, but it didn't really matter to me.

I wasn't alone.

[Alira Sweetnam]

She noticed as he turned around, but didn't hide herself completely. He already saw her. And she'd seen him. He was definately attractive. Alira noticed his eyes, sharp and deadly, a smile playing across his face. She smiled slightly, but didn't say anything. She never did. Probably never would. She watched him, wondering if he'd come closer. She also wondered what he thought of her. After all, her hair was bright pink- well, most of it, and her lipstick was bright. Not to mention the eyeliner, mascara, bracelets, and necklaces she had on. And to top it off, fishnet gloves and a pink ruffled skirt and pink corset. But him.. His outfit was simple. Hers was.. complicated. Much like herself.

[kiko]

For the first time, I noticed her outfit. I thought it was strange. Too strange. Did she want to draw more attention to herself? I had to admit, she was beautiful, but wearing all that freaky bright stuff was only making her seem more in the spotlight. I examined her carefully. She seemed fairly normal, but the bright hair really threw me off.

My mind made a strange, out of character decision.

Before I knew it, my feet traveled effortlessly over to about six feet in front of her. I was intrigued by her. Her strange wardrobe, her bright hair, and stunning eyes. I hoped my curiosity wasn't as obvious as I felt it was.

There was a long pause. Nothing seemed to move. And then. I fond words, from somewhere deep in my throat.

Hello. My name is Anton Simable.

I cut straight to the fact.

You're a vampire.

I instantly regretted saying anything.

[Alira Sweetnam]

She noticed him coming closer, knowing that he was intrigued by her. It was a vampire thing. She could tell what people were thinking. She didn't say anything as he spoke, saying his name was Anton. Her gaze didn't go off him, though. Her gaze stayed fixed on him. Even when he said she was a vampire. Yes. was all she said. I'm Alira. she said, feeling no need to tell him her last name. If he wanted to know, he'd ask. Would she tell him? Maybe. Maybe not.

[kiko]

I could feel myself tense. Thats what I wanted to say. I stared back at her. Making no effort to say anymore. I didn't have to. I didn't want to. I didn't need to. Something in her eyes made me shudder. It also made me aware of the world around me. I closed off my face. My expression blank. I blinked a few times, to make sure I wasn't imagining things.

And I wasn't.

In front of me was a vampire. Like me. My age. Forever.

I felt my eyes burn with fury. I don't know why. A low hiss escaped my mouth. My guards were up. I wasn't taking any chances.

[Alira Sweetnam]

She noticed that he was like her. Didn't say much. Probably wouldn't. It was.. interesting. Most people she met wouldn't stop talking. But Anton wouldn't talk at all. Hearing his low hiss, she took a step back, shaking off the memories it brought back to her. She still didn't take her eyes off him, didn't say anything, nor did she move closer. She could see the fury in his eyes. Was it directed at her?

[kiko]

My mind went haywire. Angry thoughts over powered my body.

Why is she here? Why now? I was perfectly fine. I don't need to be reminded of what I've become. I hate her. I hate her. I hate her. But I don't have a good reason. But it's a reason all the same. Now I know who I am. A beast. A monster. A bloodsucker. A vampire.

I growled. The sound low and echoing. Before it would have sounded strange to my highly sensitive ears. But it was natural. The grow deepened and turned into a full out snarl. I crouched defensively. I wasn't about to attack, I was ready to defend. But with me, I would never know. I could easily attack her at any moment without my control. I snarled loudly, not caring when people...humans gave me weird looks.

[Alira Sweetnam]

She watched him, hearing his thoughts, knowing he was angry. And at her. He hated her. And she'd done nothing but come into the forest. Hearing his growl, she took another step back, fear and pain showing in her eyes. If she could cry, she probably would be right now. But she hadn't cried in over 200 years..

[kiko]

I hissed more quietly this time. My upper lip curled, showing my razor sharp, flawless white teeth. I straighted up slightly as the girl stepped back. I could feel my eyes burn with antagonized fury. I am well aware of how frighting I could look, and I hardly noticed. I raised one of my perfect arched eyebrows as she stepped back. My eyes never softened, only burned hotter.

Afraid of me are you?

My voice came out in a low hiss. A human would never be able to hear it. Even if they stood right next to me. I knew she could hear it. My voice was low and harsh, but had the same melodic tune of a vampire.

[Alira Sweetnam]

She looked up at him once more when he spoke, hearing his low hiss. You're acting.. like him.. she whispered taking another step back, finding herself up against a tree. She couldn't move any farther back. Even if she could, she wouldn't. She didn't want to be afraid of him. And if he attacked.. she'd defend herself. It wouldn't be the first time she'd been attacked, that's for sure.

[kiko]

Him? Him? Who is 'him'?

I snarled. I could see she was scared. Feeling grim pleasure at the girls distress made me smirk slightly. As much as I wanted to, I couldn't smile. I couldn't say anymore at the moment. One hand swiftly brushed my hair back away from my bright blue eyes. The air smelt sweet. Of humans. I had mastered self control. The smell was enjoyable enough, and I didn't need anymore.

[Alira Sweetnam]

No one. she replied, looking away. Her eyes didn't show fear anymore, but pain. She sighed, feeling herself falling. It took her a moment to realize that she was now sitting on the ground, her back against the tree. Sighing again, she ran her hand through her hair, looking up at him, pain still visible in her eyes. Just the boy who changed me. she said, her voice soft, cautious.
