It was late and she had hoped to get the book she needed for class and be back home before too long. She just needed to get out of the mansion she was starting to go a little stir crazy with dad having picked up a new fling and taking her to Buenos Aries for the weekend. Freedom to move about was hers but she was starting to notice an unfortunate side effect. People were hitting on her. At first she thought it was a sick joke because she still wasn't used to her looks, but as she scanned their emotions she realized they were serious. That was when she started to hide a bit. Downplaying her features as much as she could she was wearing jeans and a blouse that seemed pretty causal to her. The cute floppy hat didn't seem to help so she was just coming out of a renaissance store with a blue velvet cloak covering her. She felt confident that no one would recognize her in this. She'd also stocked up on crosses and some Celtic jewelry that was on sale. Feeling her evening was complete, she headed towards the book store looking like an SCA reject when she sensed two beings close by. Their emotions creeped her out and she went to quicken her pace when one sped up in front of her, "Well well well...Trenton Moore's little human pet." he said with a feral grin as she stopped her movement and placed her hands inside her cloak. "I'm no one's pet and no ones dinner now let me pass." she said with quiet steel in her voice before the other reached up behind her and twisted her arms behind her back. "Naughty naughty...we just wanted to show you a good time." he said as he looked at her and to his friend. He smirked and moved closer to her. He started to undo her cloak, pushing the folds of fabric away, "Christmas has come early this year.""Well now lets see what she's so bundled up for. Its like 85 degrees out. Maybe she's got a hunch or a third arm. They did say she was a cripple. Didn't know Trent was into kinky but hey lets see." He reached up to pull back her cloak and she used the backwards motion to smash the back of her head into the one holding her's face. He howled and loosened his grip and she reached up and freed herself of the cloak. Rushing forward to slip past the one in front of her, before he grabbed her. "Get the fuck off me you asshole! Don't touch me!" She swung her arm back to strike and he caught it. Sneering at her. "I suggest you let me go before I go all Chuck Norris on you jerks!" she did her best to project fierceness at them but her pheromones were kinda working against her. "I think the bitch broke my nose." his friend whined. as he glanced at her. His jaw slackened a bit as her pheromones hit him because of the exertion, "Hot damn, Trent has good taste man." "I know, Right? He's gonna piss himself." the other vamp said as he leaned in and sniffed her. He laughed as he leaned in to get a better smell and began purring like a cat as the other guy came closer finally sporting two black eyes where she had landed a blow. "Guys, you don't want to do this. Really. Now let me go and we can just move on. Alright?" she said as she sensed them relaxing a bit then instinctively reached out with her gift to try and pull the negativity out of the air. She started to feel ill and bit her lip. "If I turn her Trenton will totally be our bitch." the one that was sniffing her growled. For some reason the guy was acting like he was on catnip his reflexes were slowing down and he was oblivious to things going on around him. "You who said YOU get to turn her. She broke my nose I get to do it!" the guy with the raccoon mask snarled. Reaching forward to grab her out of the other guys grip. "Fuck you. You almost got your ass kicked by her. I'm gonna do it and I might let you watch." the ringleader said as he pushed her up against himself to keep her secure. "She's mine man back the hell off." "You know as unsexy as it is to have to dead guys get even more stiff over me; I gotta say that I'm just not into the whole biting thing. Ya'll are waay to kinky for me so I'll just go and ya'll can bromance your stones in that corner over there." she tried to slip out of the ringleaders grasp and he held tighter. "Shut up! This isn't about you!!" they both snapped at her. |

He didn't know having a boyfriend would be so complicated sometimes. Don't worry, this isn't a Eli losing love for Axel thing, like that could happen, but it was a situation where he couldn't find the guy. It wasn't like he didn't stick out. Movie star good looks, dark tan and entrancing eyes; how hard could it be to find. But he had to pick him up, and in his truck Eli lapped down the street for the second time while on the phone to Axel. He seriously could not see or smell the guy. It was then becoming irritating. Not that he minded picking him up, but he had practice in half and hour and no one in the band could get a hold of Mari. Just his luck right, the Battle of the Band are less then two weeks away and they can't find the backing vocalist. Cheering! Looking around, he smirked as he spoke into the phone. "You know, what you need to be picked up you do need to be visible. I might be superman but I'm not god". He smirked.
It was then he went to listen to Axel, but he smelt something. It was something - unnatural but definitely not bad. It was a mixture of roses and strong feministic scents. It must be a girl, but it felt more like pheremones. He smelt them on Axel all the time, they were hot and smelt like strength. But this was ellegent, it was mysterious. It was Mari. As he drove past the alley, his attention was driven towards the darkness of the alley. Luckily for vamps, he had nightvision. Using enhanced sight he looked through the darkness and saw robbed Mari, hearing her words and wisecracks and two vamps were all over her. Oh crap! "Babe, I'm going into an alley. A friend and two vamps. Hurry, you should hear it". With that, Eli pulled over in a close park. Jumping out of his truck, he wore a white singlet shirt, grey sweat pants and some nice vans and not to mention the stake in his back pocket. Seemed like a huge convenience right now.
Now out of the car, he ran towards the alley. There were people around, but it was dark and an emergency. Just entering the alley way, Eli jumped. Shooting high into the air, he gripped onto a fire escape before lunging off of it and gliding through the air. A stud with style he was as he went to hit a fire escape but spun, using his hands to cling and free himself across the wall of the building before stopping, holding onto the fire escape from behind as he looked down on the scene. Were they - fighting over Mari? It must be these increase pheromones or something, but it was crazy. Sighing, Eli dropped. Falling through the air, he landed on the shoulders of the vampire behind Mari. They collapsed to the ground, being knocked out as Eli glared towards the other. It seemed just a bit too easy. Eli jumped at the vamp and sent a snap kick to its jaw, now with a broken nose and a dislocated jaw, it staggered backwards towards a wall as the other vamp rose. How fortunate was this now? The halfa-vamp verses two full blood suckers. How was this even? Oh, he had a super powered boyfriend, that's right. He knew he was missing something. |

He had been out enjoying the night, which now in case case was another way of saying 'patrolling' for vampires. Patrolling was something he really didn't know why he did. It wasn't because he had to; his brothers never forced him. And it wasn't because he felt compelled to go out and do good and rid the world of vampires. It was just him actually feeling like he had purpose, and he did enjoy it from time to time. Maybe it was the 'old Axel' coming out. The one where he enjoyed beating the crap out of assholes who messed with him or his friends. Or maybe he was always like that, and this was just a wake up call or something. Whatever it was, he was already bored, and thats where Eli came in.
Eli was driving his truck, which for some reason made Eli even more sexier than he already was, and decided to check in on Axel who was conveniently done with the whole goody too shoes patrolling act for the night. Wasn't he glad to hear from Eli. He smirked softly at the man's comment. "Well, we'll work on it." He then heard that Eli was going into an alley, apparently with a friend. And there were vampires, too. How was Eli getting all the fun while he was missing out? He sighed, hanging up the phone and moving on. He continued walking before he managed to hear a struggle. He picked up his pace, and soon found the noise coming closer and closer until he finally saw figures. Moving from behind, he sent one of his wrist stakes through the vampire's heart from behind, then into the other vampire staggering backwards towards him. He looked down, before looking up at Eli, who was with another girl who he didn't know. "Sorry I'm late, some people are just so bad with directions these days. Guess I missed the fun part, huh?" He always seemed to miss the fun parts.

Mari did what any person with lousy balance would do when Eli landed on the vamp who had a grip on her, she fell. That being said she rolled out of the way pretty quickly in order to get away from the fighting and biting and all. She just kinda sat there as she realized things were moving way too fast for her to see much less comprehend.
"Eli, I gotta say when you drop in on a girl you bring the party to you." she said a bit ruefully as she watched him go all super ninja on the vampires. Then Axel seemed to come out of the shadows and she just blinked a bit myopically like an owl, "Okay well that was definitely not what I was expecting." she leaned against the wall and looked about as her eyes adjusted and folks stopped moving so fast she couldn't track them.
She stood up slowly, a bit paranoid after all the excitement and stretched a bit, before taking a few deep breaths and exhaling as the negativity left the immediate area. "Give me a moment guys. I'm not as fast as ya'll." she said as she felt her balance return and her body stop shaking so bad. She reached over for the cloak and pulled it off the ground and shook it out. Trying to get some normalcy going so she could inwardly get herself chilling out.
"Hi, I'm Marina." she said to Axel as she held her hand out to shake, "Thanks for stopping that whatever it was." she shook her head and straightened her glasses a moment before glancing at Eli, "Thanks, Eli. Its just been a weird night for me." she went searching for her purse and found it with her busted phone inside, "Well crap. That's gonna need to be replaced." she said with a sigh, "Can't just go up to the store front and go, "Hey, you guys got a warranty on vamp attacks?"
She deflated a bit as her adrenalin wore off, "I suppose we should probably talk. There's a pub down the street I go to sing at that's vamp free and folks keep their mouths closed." she offered as she looked about and collected her bag, "My treat. Least I can do for saving me from that rapeapalooza." She straightened her shirt, folded her cloak and looked at them as she tried to straighten her hair a bit more. They took this in stride but this was a bit off of normal for her. Not that what was normal for her was okay by any stretch.

Eli had to stand strong. If not for Mari then for himself. The vamps weren't gaining, but he knew how easily a situation can turn. The limp remains of the fallen vampire rose behind Eli, and he had to deal with it. Standing between the fallen Mari and the vamp, he sent a swing into its cheek, smashing it to the side. A low kick swung towards him but Eli blocked it before smashing a backhanding fist over its face. It's head swung to the side, blood escaping its mouth as he heard a vampire being dusted. He caught the scent; Axel. So with that, he shoved the vampire and it stampered towards Axel so he could kill the creature. Everything was done and dusted, and Eli couldn't help but smirk as he heard Axel's comment. Moving towards him, he put a hand on Axel's shoulder and smiled. "Let's just chock it up to a bad situation with bullshit circumstances. Are you okay, babe?". He asked as he smiled warmly at him. Picking him up for patrol and yet Eli was the one getting down and dirty. The strangeness begins. But then he heard Mari and turned towards her beside his boyfriend. "I'd say". He said, crossing his arms and looking seriously at Mari.
He didn't know if he should be happy or cautious to be in her presence. He could still smell it, it must have been what attracted the vamps. Waves of pheremones radiating off of her body, not phasing him and hopefully not Axel, but still strong. If it did affect Axel, then how awkward would that be. Still, Mari had some explaining to do. First question; what the hell was she now? He didn't know much about her, and whatever this was it wasn't natural. She thanked them and then Eli directly, but Eli was still figitive about the whole thing. "A weird night? From the amount of pheremones coming off of you right now it wouldn't surprise. Yeah, dude. I can smell them". He said, not really smiling but not death staring either. Just worried, because what if she was dangerous? After she checked her phone, punning it still didn't seem to shake the feeling he had. She spoke like Mari and looked liek her sorta, but she wasn't. He wasn't being mean, but he was of course being careful about this situation here. Call it hybrid instinct.
She asked them to a bar, but Eli stepped forwards. Right now from what he was feeling, he needed the answers now before he felt like he could trust her to follow her. "Wait a sec. We want answers, like why you have pheremones and how come - this sounds sick to say - you don't smell human really anymore. Come on Axel, can't you sense it?". He asked looking back at his boyfriend before looking back to her. Assertively but not cruelly, he asked the million dollar question. "Mari, what's going on? And what were you? Vamps are into kill, maim, destroy not capture unless they really have to. Come on, tell me". He said with his arms crossed and looked down at Mari. She was robbed too? Really? Why? |

He shook off the fight feeling, moving closer to them and shaking the girl's hand as she reached it out to him, introducing herself as Marina. He smiled softly, shaking her hand, before looking over at Eli. "Axel. Hey, why were vampires attacking you guys? You just can't keep yourself out of trouble, can you man?" He smirked at Eli softly, teasing, before looking over at Marina as she spoke again. He smiled softly at her comment. "You never know, it might work. I've seen stranger things in Los Angeles. You could always take Eli with you and just threaten them to fix it for you. Or just make up some excuse about being attacked by some thugs, only to be rescued by two handsome men. Works a treat." He chuckled softly.
As Eli put his hand on him, he smiled again. "Five by five. But I should be asking the two of you that. I know two vampires can be a bit too much for you at times." He nudged Eli softly. She soon suggested they go somewhere and talk about things. He was open to that, though was looking foward to kicking some more vampire butt. He had his daily dosage before Eli come, and some more just then, but he was itching for more, seemingly. It was like his body had been in overdrive lately, it just felt like he wanted to beat up more and more vampires into a senseless state. It was weird, but enjoyable at the same time. It wasn't like it was a bad thing for him to enjoy beating up vampires, they were completely evil, after all. What was wrong with beating the crap out of evil people?
Soon Eli begun questioning Marina, who he knew nothing about, but trusted Eli. "Wait, huh? Who is 'we'. I just met this chick, this is more of just 'you..'" But Eli clearly sensed something was off about this girl. Eli soon asked whether he sensed anything. "I sense vampires, impending attacks...That kind of thing. The whole psychic thing...Thats Everette." Maybe this girl was hiding something, maybe she wasn't. Talking with her was probably the best thing right now.

“I don’t know why they attacked me. My dad warned me that there was something going on with my pheromones. I thought it was another ploy of his to keep me locked up and I guess he was telling the truth.” She shook her head and smiled softly, “I know your roommate Rodney, Axel. Its good to put a face to the name. He talks about you a lot.” She shook her head with a grin, “Nah, no need to take him away from you over a phone.” She waved the offer off.
Then sighed as she saw Eli look at her with suspicion fighting off the urge to be ill as she felt nauseous, “I’m sorry, Eli I don’t mean to smell bad I just had to get out of the house. My dad has my rooms locked down like Fort Knox.” She sat down and hugged herself a bit as she looked at Eli and leaned against the wall that she had been against during the fight, trying to be as non-threatening as she could possibly be. “I used to be just your generic psychic, Eli. You know, empathic talk to Ghosts sort of thing. Sometimes I picked up on things if I touched things. My dad tends to keep me locked away because he’s afraid people will use my abilities. But I dunno what happened. I’ve been trying to move out and live on my own; It’s kinda hard. My dad killed my mom and sold his soul and became an incubus when I was a kid and he’s abusive and paranoid as hell. He’s had my rooms locked down for years. I’ve tried to move out but he usually finds me and drags me back. He and my brothers…” she shuddered and went white, “Well he killed five of my brothers for abusing me or trying to kill me. Of course HIM doing it is somehow different.” Her eyes welled up and she tried to focus. “I grew up in a weird situation. I mean the only mother I ever knew after my birth mother was a vampire and my god father is a vampire so its just really odd for me. I mean I don’t do bad things and no one but my dad and brothers has ever hurt me. My god father has been trying to help me get out of the house and he’s a really nice guy. and my “step mom” has been trying to distract my dad from being a pervert and its just hard because their vampires but none of them ever hurt me in any way. They helped me. They’ve taken me to the doctors and given me places to stay when my dad was going nuts and so it’s hard. I mean it’s just weird; about a month back I was waiting for my Para transit bus and a vampire named Trenton sits down next to me and starts striking up a conversation. I’m immune to some vampire powers so it was no big deal and the next thing I know he’s visiting me in the hospital when I’m recovering from trying to save a Witch named Jace from some warlock with a knife, and Trenton is talking to my dad about how he visited me and my dad makes him my body guard. Well, he’s supposed to be anyway. I’ve not seen him in weeks so I guess he’s busy with finals or something. But yeah like I said its weird as hell to me. Most of the time people are nice occasionally people freak out at me like those weirdo vamps you dusted who were trying to piss off Trent but that’s rare.” Yes, she was talking up a storm but Eli’s looking at her unnerved and frightened her.
She exhaled softly, “I’ve tried telling people about the non-supernatural stuff, but no one really does anything, cause well they’re humans and he can just pay them off or kill them.” She rubbed her face lightly and looked up at him, “A few weeks back when I was grocery shopping I ran into a friend named Rodney Brentel. He noticed I had bruises from my dad hitting me and he asked me what happened. So I gave him the sanitized non supernatural version of “My dad hits me, tries feeling me up all the time, and won’t let me live on my own for more than two weeks.” I figured it would end at that but suddenly Rodney starts thinking he can just save me from my problems. He was supposed to talk to Axel because Axel’s his roommate and see if they can figure something out for my situation. Well, that night my dad lost it and I ended up in the hospital for a week. So I didn’t see Rodney. I was waiting for a checkup and Rodney was evidently in the hospital for something because he peeked his head in my room and we start talking. He grabbed my chart and saw the stuff my dad did to me just as my dad showed up. It was just crazy. He and my dad started screaming at each other with Rodney calling him a pervert and my dad thinking Rodney was trying to get some pervy jollies out of being in a hospital and they got in a fistfight in my exam room. The doctor got them to leave, but now my dad who is a soul sucking incubus has it out for Rodney. I’m not supposed to speak to him or see him in any capacity.” She rubbed her temples softly and bit her lip, “I ran into Rodney three days later. I tried convincing him not to get involved that it was dangerous and he shouldn’t put himself in the middle of things. I t-t-told him some of the non-supernatural things that happened to me it didn’t seem to detour him and it just made him more set in his ways.” she ducked her head and closed her eyes, her face white as she tried to keep the memories from taking over.
“Next thing I know he is trying to cheer me up and kisses me. I don’t know what happened. It was like a light switch went on. I mean I know I’m not worldly or anything like that I mean hell I’ve only ever kissed, but it was very different it was like fireworks in my head and roses and stuff. I went home after convincing a werewolf not to eat my friend Zach Cartel and basically passed out. I woke up two days later looking like I went through an extreme makeover.” She massaged her temples softly “My dad says Rodney kissing me woke up my family heritage. I looked it up and evidently I’m a cupid; A mind healer of mental trauma and abuse. I also am supposed to be able to spot couples that are in love or maybe should be. But it’s all sort of new to me so yeah I’m still figuring it all out.” She placed her head in her palm, “I swear to you, Eli I don’t mean any harm. I’m an empathy and I can sense what folks are but I don’t mean to hurt anyone ever.” She felt the summer breeze rustle through her hair and put her head on her knees, “I’m just trying to keep Rodney from pissing my dad off. My dad is dangerous and he has money and it’s not safe for Rodney to antagonize him and I can’t tell him my dad is an incubus. I don’t have the right to destroy his world view like that.” She closed her eyes and sighed, “I’m sorry I smell bad. I’ll try to head home and take a shower.” She said softly as she opened her eyes and looked up at him, her head resting against the wall, “I’ve just had a lot going on. It’s kind of hard for me to figure it all out. I mean my dad’s a monster and he kills people but he’s my dad and you’re not supposed to think bad things about your parents you’re supposed to love them so how can I do anything? He’s protected me from other people ever since I was born and he could have tossed me in the trash cause I was born all messed up and stuff and he didn’t I mean I pray about him all the time in the chapel I have in the house and I try to be a good person to everyone regardless of who they are because that’s how my mom wanted me to be but its just so hard. I mean I want to do good things and help people but I can’t even get my dad to stop hitting me and trying to do things to me. I just want people to be happy. I mean that’s why I sing in your band and why I can sing sad stuff and happy stuff because I don’t want people to feel bad and hurt the way I have no one should feel that way if they don’t have to.” She looked up at him, shaking still, trying to rub the tears out of her eyes, “Any other questions? Just please don’t be mad. When folks are angry or have negative emotions it makes me sick. I mean even if you looks like that guy from that movie Beastly and Axel looks like he could break into song and sing about his feelings any minute its still will make me queasy if you’re mad.”
“I don’t know your brother.” She admitted when he said that Ev was the psychic. “I’m pretty darn sure you can tell I’m not lying to you though. That just requires a higher sensing range and you both have that over me hands down. I can just sense the change in your emotions and such I can’t sense individual thoughts.”

This is a perfect situation to show how different Axel and Eli were. World's most interesting couple? Yes. But they weren't the same. Axel only saw the pretty face and friendly smile, but Eli could tell that their was something - hidden. Something beneath the surface and that the perky and happy girl her knew was not tainted. Tainted by good or evil, that is still to be determined. Never the less, it was weird. And Eli couldn't shake it. Even the cute and inappropriate timed jokes of Axel's weren't phasing him. Since becoming a vamp hybird it was like her had new eyes. He could see and understand everything so much clearer now, and their was something up here. He didn't say anything but stood strong. He didn't know what to expect. A life-story? An attack? Or more vampires commanded by the pheremone queen who lead them into a trap?
It was the later. Mari started and Eli just listened. Some of it was irellevent, because he wanted to know about Mari's situation and not her childhood. But as she continued it started to make sense. The thing with her father that she had mentioned weeks ago, and then she started with some people she didn't know. He guessed she must have been looking to talk this out with someone, but right now he wasn't concerned about her early life at all. The present was confusing enough as it was. She spoke about werewolves and more until she reached the important stuff; what she was. It seemed that by kissing Axel's roommate, she turned into some love fairy with an extra hotstreak. Maybe because Eli was part vampire he could tell, but Axel didn't seem to be phased at all by it. Not even getting his flirt on which was so good! But when she asked if they had questions, Eli didn't know what to say.
He got what she was, but didn't understand fully what was going on. He wasn't sure what to believe. Right now, he didn't know if she was a love angel or devil. He didn't know what had changed for her, and with a controlling father and death being around her even if he really ever knew who she really was. And he trusted her. He performed with her and told her things close to him. No one besides the brothers and Axel, and maybe his maker, knew about the half vampire thing. Well, besides Mari. But it seemed that there was too much he didn't know about the void between truth and lies, and it was to confusing. He couldn't - trust her right now. He didn't judge, he was never like that and never would be. Well, an exception to the first time he saw Axel. Cute guy with a big mouth. But he didn't know what to do.
Without a remark about her story or anything, he just looked at her. "I - have class early in the morning. I'm wiped, but - Me and Axel need to get home. Call if you need anything but - I - goodbye Mari". He didn't know who she was anymore, and with that he turned and walked out of the alley. He felt sorry for her, and he didn't hate her, but he couldn't trust her. It was too shady, there was too much grey here now. Maybe the pheremones repulsed him, and they did. And maybe things were already to weird in his life right now as it was. But he just - needed some time right now. So now, he just wanted to take Axel to his, order pizza and chillout with him for the whole night since, he didn't have class tomorrow... |
