He watched as she bit into her wrist, he could see the blood clear as day. It's break into the open air sent a shiver down his spine and he nearly began to drool.
"I'm what most vampires are afraid of," His voice husky as he watched the blood, his instinct nearly taking over as his muscles tightened. She was like a lot of others he had killed, she was naive to what he was capable of. What he had done. Some how he managed to keep his fangs in check, but he wasn't sure how much longer he could stand to not have her warm body against his, to have her blood flow down into him. He couldn't take his eyes off the blood, his heart pounding, urning for it. His muscles bulged again. "You should be afraid of me, but then again I'm honest so it doesn't really matter."
Alexander wanted to move, he wanted to walk but he was frozen in place to keep himself from springing at her. He hadn't planned on killing her quickly, but his instinct was driving him wild, so he kept to the same spot.

Biting herself had partially been Rose's way of solidifying her theory. She saw the way he reacted at the sight and smell of her blood.
"You must be very old to have such good control," she said. She licked her wrist clean and pressed her palm against the bite to stem the bleeding.
Though it probably doesn't matter, she thought to herself dryly. You're probably going to be bleeding a lot more very soon.
"What good would fear do me? The only thing being afraid of you would accomplish would be to make myself sick. I may be a glutton for punishment, but that's not my idea of fun." She looked at him, meeting his eyes calmly. "You know, I meant what I said about compromising. Sinse you're not a medical proffesional in a white coat holding a needle, I wouldn't mind donating blood, and would be happy to do so multiple times so long as you don't kill me. It would be a win-win situation- I live, and you don't have to work for your meals."
It entered her mind that if he did kill her, it was very probable that when her mother got back and couldn't find her, and she was sure she wouldn't in that case, that the woman might very well go insane with grief.

Micheal wondered why he should care if Alexander killed someone. Why was he going out to find mischief with Cindy with him? They should be waiting for Pollynda. But Micheal knew Pollynda was avoiding him. He wondered how much guidance Cindy really needed, but upon thinking this realized that he was not necessarily guiding her so much as he was protecting her.
They passed through a crowd of people lined up at the door. Micheal nodded at Tony as they walked by quickly. As the curtain of warm human bodies parted, Kallandra came into view, a very short distance away. "...I let him leave on his own....." Micheal caught just the end of a response from her. "I just don't want anyone else killed because of him." It was patchy, barely discernible at intervals, but he didn't need a whole lot of wild flaming guesses to know what she wanted.
Come He called to her.
Micheal held Cindy's hand tightly and set out at a brisk walk that would have been nearly a sprint for humans. He wondered if Kalandra would come, and he thought about how stupid love was. He thought that Kalandra must love Alexander, otherwise, she should have put him out of his misery long ago.

"Baby Doll, this isn't work. This is fun," He smiled, his smile a little more cruel this time as the beginnings of his fangs began to show. "I never actually have to work for my meals. For all you know I have a warehouse full of pretty little girls like you that I can have that kind of fun with."
Alexander leaped up onto the roof, beside Rose, in a crouch. The roof groaned under his weight. He grabbed the wrist she had just bitten, squeezing until the blood started to flow again. "Besides. You said yourself you like a little blood."
Kalandra followed her own course towards Alexander. She didn't dare try to open her wings, she feared that she'd never stop bleeding. She ran at an un-natural speed instead. She would kill Alexander if she had to, but she hoped it wouldn't come to that. He had lived too long in darkness, too bitter now to even try to go back. She could remember in the old days if she caught him in this kind of mood, she would only have to walk in before he dropped his prey and a look of sorrow crossed his features. He was no longer the soft hearted man she once knew but she could try to get through to him. She needed to get through to him. He was getting better but he was still hard, cold and selfish. Kalandra rushed through the night, hoping Micheal could help her restrain him at least until she could get him some blood which he didn't need to kill for.
"Alexander, don't you do something I'll regret." She whispered to herself, her hair whipping against the wind she created, a small tear in her dress so that she could run faster.

Her attempt at compromise had seemingly failed. Most people she could talk into most anything, but this guy was beyond her skill.
Rose didn't move when he came to crouch beside her and didn't struggle when he took hold of her wrist- it would do no good. She was much more fragile than him, and the damage of fighting would befall her. Her jaw tightened as he squeezed to make her bleed again, but she didn't scream, didn't whimper.
"Besides. You said yourself you like a little blood," he said.
For some reason she couldn't understand, this struck her as funny, and she laughed. Some part of her brain told her she was finally starting to crack, but chances were if she were still able to realize that, she wasn't too far gone.
"Not if it's going to get me killed," Rose replied. "And your mother obviously never taught you not to play with your food. Or if she did, it didn't stick."

Micheal quickly realized that Kalandra could move very fast when the mood suited her. He and Cindy bolted, and in a matter of a split moment were around the corner from where Alexander held some girl captive on a small roof.
Micheal walked around the corner, in the direction of Alexander and the human. He whistled as she went along at a leisurely strut, some Welsh folk song. His blond hair softly masked his eyes, he walked down the yellow line in the centre of the road. He flicked his head, hair jerking soundlessly off of his face. He stood under the street lamp, eyes glowing green chartreuse, skin giving off milky iridescence.
"Hello Alexander." He said quietly, calmly. "Spare a cigarette?"

"I don't have a mother." He smirked. Alexander's head snapped towards Micheal, his eyes flashing a dangerous colour as he moved toward Rose. His powerful body moved gracefully, standing behind her with a loud creek of the roof. He didn't care about being careful anymore. His senses went crazy, telling him that Micheal was after his meal. He'd protect it like any predator would, then carry it away to feast in peace.
"If you'd like one." He said lightly, tossing the pack at Micheal's feet. "I don't really need to smoke,"
Kalandra hid around the corner, crouching in the shadows, listening. Her chocolate hair spilled down over her face and shoulders as she remained quiet, her face slightly paler than usual. She closed her eyes in concentration. She was more than a killer anymore, she was a silent watchman, a harvester, but she was also sick to death of all the death. She had been around it for far too long and saw too many horrible things for her to allow to continue.

Rose saw the look in Alexander's eyes as he stared at the man who stood in the pool of light below them. She focused on the newcomer, and her senses seemed to twitch.
Another vampire.
But he was different- he didn't plan on harming her, atleast not that she could tell. As Alexander moved to stand behind her on the roof, she went completely still. His senses had shifted into full predatory mode, and if she tried to run at this point, he would most likely kill her. She went through her options in her head, and a plan started forming.

Micheal did not react as Alexander made clear his possession of the girl.
He stared down at the little cardboard pack of cigarettes for half a moment, and it jumped into his waiting fingers. He took one out, put the filtered end into his mouth. It lit as he stared down the paper casing on the end. The spark flared, then mellowed into an ember. He inhaled and removed it from his mouth between his two fingers.
Micheal looked directly at Alexander and grinned, an amused challenging flicker in his eyes. "She looks rather lovely." He overtly let his gaze run up the girl's body. He licked his lips. He took a step forward, his shoulder muscles were starting to twitch, his body was tensing up.

"Why do I always find you trying to take my meals away from me Mikie? Can't I just enjoy one in peace without you interfearing?" Alexander growled. "If you hadn't noticed, I haven't fed in little over a couple weeks."
Alexander's resolve was breaking down and he was tempted just to feed and leave, he didn't have the control to fight with intelligence, he'd be a mindless beast if he tried it. He looked down at Rose, listening to her pulse as it throbbed through her living body. The smell of blood was still in the air as Alexander brought his eyes back up, his lips twisted into an odd sneer. "She sent you, didn't she?" He spat.

Rose listened, still unmoving, barely daring to breathe.
Apparently this situation was a common event. Not surprising. But it felt as if Alexander might be losing his resolve. . . she wouldn't hold her breath.

Micheal grinned up at Alexander, who was still holding Rose in peril. "You know she did." He replied. "But her pleading with me to babysit you is not why I'm here."
He didn't particularly feel like drawing this out much more, even though he was gleaning mild amusement by 'poking the bear', so to speak.
Rose looked almost comical, taught as a board, barely breathing. Even more amusement!
Micheal stroked the cigarette tube with his thumb. He liked the feel of it between his fingers.

"And I'm sure it was the kindness of your own heart that lead you to persue me then," He growled, looking at Micheal. Slowly he crouched down, putting his hands on Rose's shoulders. Smirking, Alexander looked over the girl, enjoying her sense of unrest. He had that effect on people. Alexander wound his left arm around her waist, pulling her close against his body as he rested his chin against her shoulder. "How are you my dear? Not feeling like a piece of meat I hope?" He whispered to her, pressing his hot cheek against her soft one.

Rose bit her tongue to keep from squirming away when Alexander put his hands on her shoulders. It was even worse when he wound an arm around her ribcage and dragged her against him and rested his chin on her shoulder. Had he been human, she would have jerked free of his hold and slapped him three ways from Sunday, but in this case it would be very unwise.
"How are you my dear? Not feeling like a piece of meat I hope?" As he enquired this, he pressed his cheek against hers. Her skin was clammy in comparisson to his- under different circumstances, this would have intruiged her. She took a deep breathe to steady herself, but inhaled so that the action was less conspicuous.
"Whatever would make you ask such a question, Alexander?" she asked in return, her sarcasm evident. Now she was starting to get annoyed. The little argument going on between him and Micheal seemed rather pointless, as most arguements are, and the suspense was growing tiresome.

Atorey had been wandering about for some time, contemplating on what to do with his precious time. As he strolled he heard bickering and smelled a young soul. In no time he was within ear shot and could see the scene clearly. This could be fun he thought.
"You two fight like you're married." he called out walking closer. He nonchalantly scraped at his long rainbow fingernails. His blue eyes looked slowly between every one present. Something about the blond with venomous green eyes seemed familiar. Something to do with Romeo...
"You know kind sir," he started addressing Micheal, "It's not polite to interrupt at dinner hour." He laughed. "Though I could say the same to myself."
Atorey stopped just short of the group, pausing a moment to adjust his hair in the reflection of the building's window.

Micheal grinned at the newcomer. He was cat-like, graceful and meticulous, grooming himself in the windows reflection. He also hadn't been dead for long.
"Who ever said I was polite?" He giggled a little, and focused more on whom he now knew to be Atorey. Flashy and sassy!

Yet another vampire. Rose snorted mentally.
Am I to be a banquet? she thought, her annoyance rising again. She reached over and took hold of Alexander's forearm where it pressed against her stomach. The prolonged stress was making her tired, but she couldn't give in.
With a sigh, she said, "Obviously all of you need to improve your manners, standing around talking about me as if I weren't here."

"Among other things," Rose replied.
Her mind was still racing, planning. All of these people were strangers. The one holding her intended to drink her dry, kill her. The only thing that had kept Alexander from doing so was the fact that Micheal had interrupted him.
Was Micheal here to help or not? He stood, studying things. For all she knew, he might pry her away from Alexander only to devour her himself. But . . . it didn't feel like he wanted to hurt her. His vibes were different. And the third vampire was a mystery all together. What a mess she'd gotten into.

Atorey scoffed. "No one said you were polite." He walked even closer to Alexander and fixed his eyes on the girl. "You sure do think highly of yourself, chatting like that. You should be silent and fearful." Atorey moved then to Micheal. "I'm thinking we should leave them be." He said poking a thumb in Alexander's direction.

Alexander's stomach growled, the vicious sound came out of his mouth as his chest heaved in frustration. "If one more person shows up I'm going to....." His brain was fuzzing over, distracted by the smell of food. As the woman's blood mingled in the air he suddenly grabbed her tight to him. His iron grip holding her in his arms as his fangs came to a halt on the bare flesh of her throat. He didn't care about the fun any more, he didn't have any paitence left. He wanted her now and he wanted for the ache to stop. His heart thudded loudly in his chest as he held her, the saliva growing thick in his mouth at the taste of her skin. "I apologies for drawing this out so long little one" He whispered to the girl.
Kalandra continued to hide, her heart strings feeling as though they were going to rip out of her rib cage. She could feel the golden gloss creeping its way into her retnas and across her eyes. "Please," She whispered. "No more killing....."

Rose's instincts screamed as Alexander crushed her against his frame, his fangs stopping just short of puncturing her throat. Her heart slammed against her ribs. But she didn't struggle- it was pointless, she'd only get hurt worse.
I'm sorry, Mom. . . .
"I apologise for drawing this out so long, little one," her captor whispered.
Somehow his words struck a chord. There was no doubt that Alexander was a killer, a blind man could sense that- but that simple apology let Rose see that for all the anger and hate in him, there was still a small sliver of good in him.
"Alexander. . . ." she said quietly, in the tone she had heard her mother use so many times to sooth small children.

Atorey laughed loudly and applauded. "Now the show has started! Tell me, is your little plan going into action now?"
He jabbed Micheal in the shoulder with one long finger. If Micheal stopped Alexander from feasting upon the girl, she would become his. He liked this. It pleased him. He stood there smiling like a Cheshire cat. The situation would be in his favour either way. It seemed that if the girl died Micheal would be saddened and Alexander satisfied. A potential ally. If Micheal prevented this, he would be well fed!

Micheal's lips pursed as he swatted at Atorey's prodding finger. He didn't want Alexander paying attention to him now. "Ix-nay on the an-play! And shouldn't you be doing something radical and stupid by now?" Micheal wondered if Atorey would do something crazy. That would make the night all the more interesting.

Alexander felt a sudden twinge of guilt, almost recoiling. His lip twitched against the girl's throat. He plunged his fangs deep into her vein, the feeling of exhuberance rushed through him. Mingled with the sudden flood of guilt he felt. He hadn't felt like this in years, his eyes closing as he held her to him. The blood rushed down her throat into his eager mouth, his mouth filling and emptying with each desperate gulp. His head swam and his body urged him on.

Rose did not scream as Alexaner burried his fangs in her throat, did not cry, simply clenched her jaw. It had always irritated her when girls screamed. What did it accomplish?
Her world seemed to spin as he drank voraciously, her vision blurring. The words she supposed Micheal and the other vampire were exchanging were muffled as if reaching her from a distance. The rush of blood roared in her ears with her own heartbeat. Searching for an anchor in the chaos, Rose took hold of Alexander's wrist.
Father, please forgive him. There was true remorse, I felt it. . . .
