Elliott was still new in town but his mental state was starting to show signs of improvement. He was thinking logically, and he had even had full length conversation with some of the people that he had saved. He was reviewing his situation as he walked down the dark and desolate streets of the moonlit allies of Francisco alley. Only appearing 17 gave him the perfect disguise for saving people with his innate magical ability, however he was still in danger. Using too much magic, so regularly was like exercising constantly, eventually he would have to rest, and when he did, through choice or exhaustion, he would probably ‘crash’.
While reviewing he remembered his encounter with Logan and the several demons that he had killed on American soil. Logan’s presence triggered a thought ... there were more people doing what he was doing, Logan must have been some sort of hunter. He smiled at the thought. Other things came back to him like the names and faces of the people he’d saved which he had place in the shopping mall for the past month. The shopping mall was a good place for him to train and harness his magical ability, large open spaces, strong gates and plenty of supplies meant that the inhabitants were safe and evil was not an issue. He had been looking in catalogues and directories for his aunt but all he had got to go on was the last name Page and for all he knew she had been married.
He stopped mid thought as he noticed a shadow move, suddenly his instincts kicked in and he put out his arms, “Lumous” A bright luminescent light shone out of Elliott’s hand like a torch and it was strong as he moved around searching for the source of the shadow.

Scarlet was silent, her body was gently posed upon a low emergency stair, the cold metal seemed to seep throw the woman’s silk dress. The layers of material hung in the air only inches away from the ground, the corset hugged the woman’s curves tightly making her frame seem much smaller and delicate. The white dress gave the young vampire almost an air of being an angel, her soft blue eyes and porcelain skin seemed translucent… Her long blonde hair gently curled at the ends, framing her features.
She was sitting quietly, listening to the nights sounds almost intrigued by the different scratches and scurries of insects and other animals scarlet couldn’t place. It wasn’t until the heavy footsteps and soft breathing did she look up, suddenly blinded by the light scarlet hissed loudly, turning her head away so only her hair was lit intensely.
« Must you ruin the beauty of the night with such a bolt of light ? » her voice was slightly irritated and almost angry though not giving the male a look.

Elliott retracted his hand at the angelic voice, miming as if he had put a torch back into the inner pocket of his jacket. He wanted to fool her, the fact that he didn’t appear to be anything special was always a bonus to him from a tactical perspective. He wore a fairly bulky jacket to protect him from the cold and underneath that he was wearing very expensive designer labels that he had ‘borrowed’ from the shopping market. Even if he was slightly psychotic, at least he knew how to dress.
He took a few cautious steps forward and watched the woman’s shape that had been illuminated only moments before. Her hair had looked perfect and her aversion to the light was making him suspicious, in hindsight it would have been better for him to use UV rays but he wasn’t sure as to what spell would do that.
“Are you ok?” Elliott asked, still slowly making his advance, a curious eyebrow creeping onto his face as he waited for a reply. “What are you doing out here all by yourself? You know you shouldn’t be out this late right ..? Nobody should ...” Elliott paused, “Do you need a place to stay ..? Are you hurt ...?” Elliott got closer with every question until he was now, without realising it, closer to the woman than he had ever intended,
“Do you need help?” |

Scarlet said nothing for a moment as the light disappeared, she turned her head slowly, her blue eyes now looking the male up and down, licking her lips gently before putting her hands on her lap, it seemed the male wasn’t one to know about the vampire race… scarlet decided to play the ‘innocent’ type of girl. She smiled gently, her eyes becoming rather wide as she bit her lip purposely « Im waiting for a friend, she disappeared … im not sure where I am » she looked around as though checking there was no one else around « My mother always told me to stay in one place if lost … » her voice was soft and gentle.
Pulling back her hair she moved it over her shoulder so that the man could now see her face, she smiled gently, making the male feel calm and secure « My name is Scarlet… » her voice trailed off, wondering if he was going to reply with his own name or not.
Scarlet hadn’t really made many interactions with the humans, mostly because the streets she trailed in were most of the time empty, Scarlet wasn’t the sort of vampire to walk in the open… After all she was very old and she didn’t like much of the new fashions or the new generations for that matter. |

Elliott was a bit concerned at her obvious innocence ... innocent faces usually came attached to liars but she did seem genuine. Elliott reciprocated an innocent smile but backed away subtly and slowly as she spoke. Whoever this girl was she was appearing to be too good to be true. She didn’t seem like she was from this time, and if she was some sort of monster than she didn’t give humans as much credit as they deserved. They weren’t as naive as she was treating them.
Elliott considered his options, “My name is Elliott and if you’re really who you say you are then I’ll help you find your friend. I’m sorry for my lack of trusting, but someone’s word is not worth as much as it used to be since the world went to hell so I need more than an innocent smile and a cutesy voice.” He half smiled and shrugged at her. Since everything that had happened to him had happened he was playing it safe all the way, insane or not.

The woman raised an eyebrow, trying not to smile evilly to his words … Licking her lips gently she looked down the ally and up « Go with you … out there, in the dark, alone … » she bit her lip again « like you said its not safe, though I guess its safer to go with you than sitting here waiting for trouble » she hesitated for a moment, playing her new character easily, almost wrapping the guy around her little finger, all she needed was a little trust and everything should go easily…
Jumping down from the emergency stair she found herself inches away from the male, the soft scent of his blood making her stomach turn in hunger, though she had only fed an hour ago and decided she preferred to wait until she was a little more hungry, after landing from her jump she slid slightly, making it look accidentally she grabbed onto the male, her thin arms taking his support to steady her.
Once standing properly she bit her lip and smiled awkwardly « Sorry » she said hesitating as she looked up, the male was almost a head taller than her … which scarlet guessed worked in her favour. Wrapping her arms around herself she decided to pretend she was cold, rubbing her arms gently though her cold skin didn’t change. « everyone has a lack of trusting these days, including myself » her eyes met his for a moment « but im as real as you get » she said with a bright smile before looking both ways « thank you for helping me, im not sure where abouts she could be, It has been a while since we were separated… I wouldn’t know where to start » her voice shaking slightly. |

Elliott watched as she did her performance and it worked, if there was something that she defiantly was it was a convincing actress. As she shook with the apparent cold Elliott took off his jacket with a smile. He was fairly muscular and as well as increasing in his magical strength he had been working out hard to strengthen himself physically, which was apparent with the top that he was wearing. He extended his hand out with the jacket in hand. “Here, take this, you look freezing.” He replied calmly before answering her queries, “Now don’t panic, the last thing you want to do is panic.” He took a step forward and gestured for her to follow by his side.
“When was the last time you saw or heard from her?” he seemed less insane, he guessed helping others and putting their needs first was causing him to think logically and with a more rational mind frame because it demanded that he think maturely. “and think hard because it could be very important, where did she say she was or where did she say she was going to meet you ... in this alley?” Elliott said, confused, suddenly realising the illogical idea to meet in this alley, he turned back to her ... |

Scarlet smiled gently as she took the jacket, his warmth had already heated the jacket for her though as she slipped it on it made no difference to her cold skin, she licked her lips and nodded whispering a small thanks, becoming irritated slightly though not making it show. She wondered if he had a large family, mother father, sister, brother, wife ? Children… She couldn’t help the hungry look that had changed her features slightly, her eyes were now watching the males neck, the small pulse centred in her mind.
It was to late, she had already taken a step towards him before snapping out of her hunger, she looked at him, her face returning to its soft innocence though sure the man had seen her moments openness. Her smile become wider, almost full of energy as she tugged on his hand, sending out her powers she would try to change his emotions, making him really like herself… to humans her power was quick and the way she planned, she had no clue that the male before her was a witch so her power may be weakened or may even not work!
She sighed tilting her head « we were supposed to meet on the main road not far from here, I went to walk home after waiting for her for an hour when I turned down into this alley and I cant find my way home » she said gently, if her power had seceded she hopped he would offer to take her to his house or the hotel … but these days nothing was as it seemed !

Elliott flinched and shivered, removing his hand from hers as she touched it trying to keep his smile on as she spoke. She was cold, more than cold and he knew it was supernatural. He’d also felt something different, something draining, another supernatural factor to her touch, something that he assumed he was aware of because of his own magical capabilities. He stepped back from her as she moved he was now making no mistake about his sudden change in opinions.
“What the hell are you and what did you just try to do to me?” Elliot was annoyed that she had tried to manipulate him in some way and he was dreading the idea that it might work. He got his hands ready by his side, trying to remember spells that could hurt or bind her sufficiently but he was panicking and his erratic thought process was now increasing and clouding his thoughts. His eyes shifted nervously and he gritted his teeth, his breathing increasing, he was feeling paranoid and his previously suppressed insanity was becoming a strengthened force. |
