Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 5 20127:14pm
THUD, a man would hit the mud of a local Bostonian bar alley. It would be raining, as it had been for quite some time now. The ground was soaked. It was around midnight. The man would laugh hysterically on the ground... "Hahahaha, ohhhoohahahaha!" The man standing over him with a mean look on his face would shout, "WHAT THE FUCK IS SO FUNNY!?" The man would kick the man on the ground hard in the stomach.

"Hahahahaha! Oooph!... HAHAHA!" the man would laugh while clutching his stomach.

The man standing over him would step back, "This kid's a complete nutter... c'mon boys."

The Man would stand up and look at the man who'd been beating him to a pulp along with his thug-buddies.
"The ting is here boys, I don't give a fuck about who you tink you are, I'm not taken a beatin' and not leaving here wit somethin'"

The man who'd been assaulting him would walk up and swing at him, Sawyer would step the right and clock the man with a mean right cross, laying him out cold, after he bounced off the wall of the alley of course.

"Kay boys, one atta time." Sawyer would look the the thugs.

The men would charge at Sawyer all at once and slam him into the wall. Sawyer would hit the wall and grab one of the men's shirts and throw him off for the time being, grab the other man and slam his head into the wall head first, out cold, he would slide down the wall bleeding profusely. Sawyer would look at the other man and front kick him in the stomach, further down the dead end alley and the man would turn to run to see this. "Hey kid, ain't no reason to beat a man down right?"

"Wrong." Sawyer would say as he grabbed the nearest trash can and stuff it over the man and kick it so hard the man would fly back and roll... out cold...

Sawyer would pick up his hat, kiss his rosary, and say calmly, "Nice doing bidness withcha boys." He would walk back into the bar, counting the money he'd hustled in a game of billiards. "Don't know why tree grand would piss'em off so badly." Sawyer would smile and sit at his usual booth.
Carmen (played by nikina)

March 5 20127:33pm
A young woman walked the rainy streets alone. Her hands were thrust into the pockets of the black leather coat she wore to keep the rain from her tanned skin. She had spent the evening turning tricks downtown to make a few bucks, turning tricks didn't mean she was a prostitute. It meant she was a magician, or as some called it a con artist. Carmen walked with no particular destination in mind, she never did. Usually went where her feet carried her, tonight it seemed they were carrying her to a familiar bar, and from what she could hear from this distance the scene was the same. Men brawling out side.

As she neared the bar a slight smirk crossed her tanned face as the bar, and the brawl came into view. Pausing for a moment she watched an unknown man stuff another into a trash can, then send it rolling with a kick. She couldn't help but let a small silent laugh hit her lips before continuing on towards the club her keen ears picking up the amount the man had said. A nearly cocky smirk came to the girls lips as she slipped into the bar, she had a mark.

She would mill around the room for about a half an hour, smiling, and greeting people, apparently she was no stranger around here. The fact that her bleached blond locks were nearly dripping wet didn't seem to bother her, nor the looks she was getting from some of the drunker male patrons. The young woman took it all with a grain of salt. Soon she was standing at the bar, her large baby blues settling stead fast on the bar tender. "Hey, soda for myself, and." she nodded her head back in the direction of the brawler. "A glass of whatever the guy in the hat is drinking." she stuffed her hands into her pocket pulling out a 10 dollar bill she put it on the bar once the drinks were ready.

She approached the booth smiling, "Hi there."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 5 20128:22pm
Sawyer would lean up and see the pretty blonde in front of him. "Hi lass, how might ya be this evening?" Sawyer liked the look of the young woman. "Joining me for a drink? or drinking heavy alone?" He would point to the drinks in her hands.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 5 20128:33pm
Carmen would let out a laugh, "No I never drink alone." A grin was flashed, and if he was observant he'd catch sight of her teeth. Were her canine teeth sharper than they should be? "And this isn't mine. It's yours." she said plunking the drink down in front of him. "So," her blue eyes flashed a moment, "you gonna invite a girl to sit down?"

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 5 20128:35pm
"Please join me, and might I add, nice chompers you have there, lass." Sawyer was intrigued by the drink buying, sharp toothed, blondy, in Boston, hitting on the busted up Gypsy. "What brings you to this part of town? Are you a local?" Sawyer would take the drink he'd already had and shoot it back and let out an "ahhh" of satisfaction. "Certainly didn't come here to buy me a drink now did ya lass?" Sawyer would smile and wink.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 5 20128:42pm
She laughed to his comment in regards to her chompers as he had so delicately put it. "I'm glad you like them." she smiled, the words were said in all seriousness. What kinda woman would follow a comment about her teeth, with that?

She set her soda down on the table infront of where she intended to sit, "You could say I'm local." she shrugged her slender shoulders before slipping of the leather jacket she wore revealing a black tank top, "But you my friend, definitely don't sound local." She slipped into the seat across from him. "So where are you from?" She asked with a laugh as the man winked at her.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 5 20128:48pm
"You've hit the nail on the head." Sawyer would relax back. "I'm from a much greener world." Sawyer would like to know more about this girl, he also figured her to have ulterior motives... "So what made you come sit down with me? I know I'm not a slump of remains, but there are plenty of boys in this place." Sawyer was okay with her ulterior motives, he could get a little ass and be on his way. "Where would you like the night to end, lass?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 5 20128:55pm
Carmen let out a hearty laugh, How cocky this one was. "Your accent tells me Ireland to take a guess." Her own accent was American, but distinctly Jersey. She lifted the soda to her lips, out of sheer, silly habit, and appeared to take a small sip. Truthfully the carbonated beverage just touched her lips, she couldn't consume it.

When he brought the conversation to her reasons, she smiled. "Well I was on my way here, and I heard shouting. Then," her smile turned into a grin, "I seen you stuff one of of the usual rough housers into a garbage can." she laughed, "Need I say more?"

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 5 20129:02pm
Sawyer let small smirk or accomplishment sneak out. "Well, does that mean you want to get into a tussle with me? I don't hit me a woman... unless she ain't not woman." Sawyer would look down at the glass she'd brought to him, thankfully he knew better than to take drinks from strangers... at least he'd learned from past experiences. "I'll have to decline your drink, but I tell you what, I'll reimburse you with a walk home can't have a young lady like yourself walking the streets alone, who knows a sick degenerate bastard, like myself, could be out there waiting to get a closer look at those pearly whites in your mouth." Sawyer would stand up and go pay for his drink. Leave the bar and wait for her outside, the men were stilling laying in the alley out cold... "Poor bastards, I hit 'em harder than I thought."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 5 20129:09pm
Laughed a moment, but she didn`t answer his question. The young woman didn`t put anything in his drink, she had gotten it from the bar tender and brought it straight to him, but who could blame him? She perked a brow as he got up and left, but she sat there a moment or two more thinking things through. The man seemed smarter than the average bear as the saying goes.

After putting a tip on the table between the two untouched drinks she picked up her coat, and headed to the door. As she crossed the threshold she was pulling it on, "Well I should tell you that I don't go walking in the dark with stange men, so if you want to leave this spot with me gimmie a name." she was of course lying, and completely full of shit, but she was playing to the part of the young woman caught between her teenaged years and truly being a woman.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 5 20129:16pm
"Call me Tom." Sawyer smirked. "Tom is what I'll let you call me, anything else I may not worry about." Sawyer was going to have some cautious and yet spontaneous fun. He knew she was no average woman, he would've actually left in a minute, but there she was, thus he knew that trouble was on the horizon, but hey what's life without some blood, piss, and vinegar? "What about your name, lass, only fair I know it." He would wait for her direction.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 5 20129:20pm
Carmen would thrust her hands into her pocket, she was getting a feeling that he wasn't being truthful. Well lets being the game she smiled to herself as she started heading back up the street she had walked only a little while ago. "Pleasure Tom." she paused and looked over her shoulder to him to see if he was following, and once he was she started to walk again. "Call me Carmen."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 5 20129:25pm
Sawyer would walk along side her. "Alright Carmen, what part of town might you be walking me to?" Sawyer was weary that he would be ambushed so he had his brass knuckles in his jacket ready. "So do you live with your fellow lasses, or are you all alone?" Sawyer would laugh at the thought of 10 blondes living in a 2 bedroom apartment... it's one of those things that felt funnier than it really was. "Do I need to impress anyone or learn a secret hand-shake?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 5 20129:32pm
The young woman stretched her arms up as she walked and clasped them behind her head, elbows in the air. "I've got a place downtown, and no. I live alone." a grin cracked her lips, sharp teeth showing again. "So you mustn't worry about silly things like that."

There would be no ambush, she could handle things all by herself. Well with a little help from her Chimerstry. "So you been in town long?" she asked taking him towards the down town, but starting to slip on to the side streets, ones that were virtually abandoned only herself and Sawyer would be walking

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 5 20129:39pm
Sawyer would follow her, he was weary and yet intrigued by the teeth. She seemed to relaxed for his own good, so Sawyer would be cautious at least until they got where they were going. "I've been in town for about as long as I've been here." Sawyer wasn't interested in giving her any information she didn't need... and as far as he could care she didn't need to know anything. He wasn't paranoid just smart. "Stop, lass." Sawyer would get an eerie feeling about her. "Why go to your place, there's a hotel right over there" Sawyer would say keeping things neutral, "You picked me up in a bar for one of two reasons, to take me the the homeland, or to take me for the clothes on my back." Sawyer wasn't sure about this woman, but his want for a piece of ass was clouding his already terrible judgement of women. "What do you say, lass?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 5 20129:45pm
Threw her head back and laughed loudly, the laugh wasn't the slightest bit false, on the contrary she seemed to actually find that funny. That option hadn't even crossed her mind, It was certainly easier than maintaining her Chimerstry. As the laughter faded she grinned to him. "Well what is it, rob you blind or enjoy your company?" she looked to the hotel as if she were considering her options. After a moment her baby blues flashed to him, "Lead the way Tom cat."
Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 6 20126:41pm
Sawyer would walk toward the motel, into the lobby, rent a room for the night. Get the keys, and walk out. "Room 42." He would then walk down to the room. Open the door and go in.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 6 20126:58pm
Carmen folded her arms across her chest while she waited for Sawyer. Her baby blues, and her face seemed to be totally void of all emotion and life as she stood in the rain. But she was thinking, with any luck I can be out of here in an hour, just gotta wait for him to fall asleep. the emotionless state broke as he exited the hotel, a smirk spread across her face and she fell into step shortly behind him.

Once in side the young woman with the nearly icy feeling skin wasted no time **fade to black**

Afterwards Carmen pretended to be asleep, which was rather easy for her at this point in her existence. Once she heard Sawyer's breath level out and find a steady gait, she knew the man was out cold.

After dressing, she searched his pockets. Quickly finding the wad of cash. Sure she was undead, but living still cost money. After counting the cash in movments quicker than a regular human could possess she found that there was nearly three thousand dollars there. "Thank you Tom cat." She ginned and stuffed the money into her pockets.

Then once she was sure she had her belongings the young woman headed out. Quite pleased with her nights work. She headed to her small apartment down town, making it home only a a half hour before the sun rose.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 6 20127:27pm
Sawyer would awake from his night of fighting, drinking, and other fun stuff which lead to the end of his night. He would look over to see her gone, which was no surprise, he got what he came for... then he thought... "Shit." he would quickly get to his jacket to find everything... but the money. "Well shite..." he would have a good chuckle, mainly because she rocked his world... if she were a prostitute, she was likely worth every dime. He still needed the money that con he'd been working on took him 3 days of conning, had to convince everyone in the bar he was terrible at billiards, but didn't believe that. He then convinced everyone, except the bartender who got his cut, that he was a light drunk... then he reeled in the big fish for the pay off. "Guess I'll have to find the sassy lass." He would get up, shower, dress in his clothes, and begin to scour the city for the woman with mean thighs and light feet.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 6 20127:52pm
Carmen wouldn't be found until long after the sun was set, she slept the entire day away in her apartment. There was a small windowless room just large enough for a single mattress, and the door to the small room was heavily locked. As were the windows and the front door to the place, she was as cautious as she possibly could be, without seeming extreme to neighbors.

After rising she showered, the took the time to darken her lashes with Mascara and apply a little bit of eyeliner. Then she dressed in a knee length blue skirt, black tank top, and grey cardigan. A Pair of spiked heels and a leather bag completed the look. She liked to refer to the bag as her bag o tricks. This was the literal meaning, in the bag there were the fixings for simple magic tricks, and a deck of blank playing cards.

Carmen hit the streets shortly after Eight, heading straight for the busier part of town. Hodgkins Street, it was a pedestrian street with many restaurants, bars, even a theater. A great place to make a quick buck.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 6 20128:51pm
After searching all day, Sawyer was sick of it, money disappears. "Shit happens." Life is like this, it's why he was a good con man. He would decide to head back to his apartment and get some walking around money from his safe... which was quite full. He lived in a downtown loft. He figured he'd go out and find a fight. This was his normal Friday night venue anyway. Find a club and find a moron in the crowd and beat him to a pulp. Figured he might get a bite and catch a movie, then he would head to the club. He would make his way to his favorite diner.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 6 20128:57pm
Carmen walked down Hodgkins street, her eyes on a swivel looking for easy marks. She didn't even consider running into the guy from last night, if she did it wouldn't be an issue. She figured she start up at the diner, and then make her way back towards downtown. Soon she stopped infront of the place scanning the crowd.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 6 20129:06pm
Sawyer would walk up to the diner... and who better to see? "Carmen." He would look at her calmly and smirk. "How are you doing tonight lass?" Sawyer was a little annoyed that she had taken his money... "Just when you were going to get off the hook..." Sawyer would smile at her.

He would walk right up to here and calmly explain to her, "I'll tell you what... you can keep the money, if you come with me right now."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 6 20129:14pm
Hearing her name she turned to look at the source, it sounded familiar. aw crap she thought to herself, but her expression didn't betray anything. "Well I suppose I'm alright tonight Tom Cat, how are you." she seemed to ignore his comment about getting off the hook. She wouldn't take her gaze from him as he walked up to her, and she nearly laughed when he offered her a choice. "Well as I don't have the money on me I'll be keeping it for a while yet." she had hidden the cash in her apartment when she got home, however she was slightly curious as to where he would take her if she followed him. Plus she hadn't gotten herself a meal yet, so after a moment of silence. "Alright." she said in a rather flat tone, "But no funny business."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 6 20129:21pm
"How about I determine what we do..." Sawyer would offer up his arm. If she took it he would lead her to a back alley. Walking down the alley he wouldn't pay attention to her, except to make sure she stayed in line with him. He would get into the deepest darkest parts of the alley then back her into a wall(if permitted) "You know it's nice to take from strangers right?" Sawyer would pause. "The name is Sawyer." he would then lean in to back her up the wall and kiss her.(once again if permitted)

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 6 20129:33pm
Carmen perked a brow as offered his arm, and looked mildly puzzled for brief moment before the usual emotionless look replaced it. She placed her icy hand on his arm and would let him lead her into the alley, he's gonna try and rob you, boy he's in for a surprise she thought to herself. To his comment she shrugged, "Guess I wasn't raised right." she was slowly readying herself for an attack she thought was coming. When he spoke his name she perked a brow, wonder if that one is real she thought, "Carmen." she said her name again. She hadn't been lying last night, Carmen was they only name people knew her by.

When he tried to kiss her she turned her face to the side, making his kiss land on her cold cheek. "Now, Tom Sawyer you haven't lead the thief into an alley to be robbed again have you." last night's actions had purpose, she wasn't entirely sure where he was headed.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 6 20129:37pm
"Sawyer is my name, Sawyer Wise." Sawyer would lean back, "It's why people call me Tom." Sawyer was really into her. He had some trouble holding back. "Look lass, this isn't a robbing, and I don't have any money on me so you can't continue your pattern." Sawyer would look down and kick a nearby can down the alley. "I had a good time last night, minus getting robbed. I'd like to have a good time tonight. If you're not interested then I'll head down the alley and leave you be." Sawyer would fix his shirt and begin to walk down the alley figuring she wasn't into it.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 6 20129:49pm
She turned her face forward as he with drew, "And my name is Carmen, I wasn't lying last night. As for my pattern, you weren't part of it...just a bonus." for a moment a sly smile cracked her emotionless facade. She seemed to find his next words mildly amusing, "You enjoyed getting picked up from the bar by a sixteen year old." Her general appearance portrayed just that a sixteen year old. However her eyes spoke differently, they seemed to look older than her years.

As he started down the alley she sighed a bit, "Well if you're gonna give up so easy." she pushed off form the wall and started heading up the alley, traveling the same direction he was, "That's the fun part too." a grin was flashed, her pearly whites showing.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 6 20129:55pm
"I never said you were lying girl, if I was going to say that, I would say, You're lying, would I not?" He would turn to look at her. "I'm a bonus? You think that I am a bonus?" He would laugh at her 16 year old comment. "You think anyone believes that? You're so hot the ice melts from the ground below you. That's all they care about, that's all I care about."

"I'm not giving up lass, I'm just letting you chase." He would look to see her pearly whites. "What's with those chompers?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 7 20126:13am
Carmen's heels clicked against the asphalt as they walked, course she though the run in with Sawyer was a bonus, her normal pattern involved magic tricks, showmanship and a touch of chimerstry, he as not part of that and therefor a bonus, and a god damned good one too. "You don't believe that I'm sixteen?" she smiled a little bit, the smile seemed to hold a slightly dangerous edge to it, and it wasn't just those chompers either.

She made no reply to him in regards to the chase, but when he asked about her teeth she flashed another smile, "Lovely arn't they?" Then hearty laughter came from the girl and that was all she said in regards to her teeth all the better to eat you with the classic line from little red riding hood rang in her mind.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 7 20122:20pm
"I don't have to believe anything, I have to know something." Sawyer would stop in the middle of the alley. "what are you doing right now?" Sawyer thought for a moment. Listened to her talk about how lovely they were, "Yeah, looks like you could be the big bad wolf under different circumstances." Sawyer found her teeth to be so different from what he'd seen.
Carmen (played by nikina)

March 7 20122:37pm
Carmen laughed to his response, "ahhhh. That rosary I saw dangling around your neck last night. What is that then?" She perked a brow to him and slowed to a stop when he stopped in the middle of the alley. the girl placed her hands on her hips as he asked what she was doing, "Right this second I'm talking to a tom cat in the alley." the poor guy was screwed she was going to call him that for a while. "After this..." she trailed off and shrugged, "I was planning on making a quick then going for a drink." she would shrug her shoulders.

To his last comment she laughed and started walking, "Oh Tom Cat you've got no idea."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 7 20122:42pm
"I like being called Tom Cat, it suits me... though I do love what you have to say about this." Sawyer had assumed what she mean was getting some, though he couldn't be completely sure. "All the better to eat me with, isn't that how it goes lass?" Sawyer would have a good chuckle at his own expense. "Haven't really heard the story since I was a mere boy." Sawyer like the way her hips swayed and felt like he was drooling... "Lass, you have a swing onya that a woman doesn't have." He would watch as she started walking... "Damn."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 20127:57am
Carmen paused and threw a glance over her shoulder, "Yes that is exactly how the story goes." Her eyes caught the light from the streetlamp and they looked as if they were glowing for a brief moment before she turned back around and started to walk again. "I believe the term is swagger Sawyer." even though her face was turned the opposite way you could hear the smile in her voice.

As he caught up to her she looked to him, "Now, Tom Cat I almost feel obliged after robbing you last night," A cocky smirk was on her lips, "What are you doing right now?"

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 8 20128:19am
"I'm headed to eat now, have you eaten lass?" Sawyer couldn't help but notice the glow, "Pearly white dagger like chompers, a ferocious smile, and eyes that seem to glow..." he would say under his breath, "Sawyer what have you gotten yourself into lad?" He would walk directly up to Carmen. "Where would you like to end up tonight lass?" Sawyer would say after pulling out a cigarette and lighting it. "Me, I've always envision piles of money and women, but hey we can dream right lass?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 20129:55am
To the mention of eating the girl couldn't help but smile lightly, no she hadn't eaten, but she was hungry. However any food that Sawyer would be eating couldn't pass her icy lips, so of course the girl lied. "Already ate hours ago thanks." her ears picked up a slight muttering of his words, however she made no real acknowledgement to them.

Carmen watched him approach her, and couldn't help but laugh. He's suspicious of you, but not backing off...he's either very brave or very stupid. she thought to herself watching him as he lit the cigarette. Or both the thought was finished after his last words. "Well alive is always a good start." she murmured, "As for the rest, well," She flashed another smile to the man, "We'll just have to see won't we." she placed her hands on her hips again.

"Why don't we go to that diner, you seemed to be there for a reason and I was just," the smiled she wore grew, "A bonus."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 8 201211:33am
Sawyer would laugh with her bonus comment. "Aye, I like the idea of where the night takes us, but I know I need some food, so I agree with the diner, they have a great shepard's pie, and haggis..." He would pause, "I'm just messing with you lass, even us green eyes don't like that shite." He would have a soft chuckle. "Let's get this straight, a burger and fries sounds good, yes?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 201211:50am
Carmen generally knew where the night would take her, make a bit of cash, find a easy feed then back to her small, sparsely furnished apartment before the sun rose. Carmen mearly perked a brow to the haggis comment. "Us green eyes?" she questioned mildly as she started to walking, leaving him to follow once again.

"You can have all the burger and fries that you want, as I mentioned I've already had a meal." she lied again, the only way he would know she was lying is if he was really good at reading people. "I'll have a soda if that's fine by you." she shrugged her shoulders as the diner came back into view

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 8 201212:02pm
He would smile at her green eye comment, "Green eyes? The children of Ireland, etcetera etcetera and so forth. We all have green eyes?"

Sawyer would find a disconnect in her, "You're not one of those girls who says she ate, but probably hasn't for days..." Sawyer would pause, "Are you?" Sawyer would get ahead of her, "You know where we're headed, I'll race you!" He would take off running, he would back to see if she was following. "C'mon lass, you seem all salt with no pepper!"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 201212:10pm
Carmen had really never heard the reference, "Really now...so everyone who is Irish has green eyes? Huh....guess mama was right. You do learn something new everyday."

She mearly laughed a bit, "Really? Do I look like I haven't eaten in days?" she perked a brow to him as he got a head of her, "I assure you I've eaten recently." she smiled to him, if last night before I encountered you counts. this was her thoughts to herself.

The words race you seemed to mildly amuse her, she watched him break out running. Her shoes definitely were not made for running, spiked heels rarely were. She let him run on ahead, only picked up her pace slightly. Once she reached him she just shrugged, "You seemed fine with salt last night." then she pointed to her shoes, "I don't feel like breaking an ankle."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 8 20121:58pm
Sawyer would make no response to the EVERYONE Irish has green eyes comment, wasn't worth it.

"You look like you look," Sawyer was careful, he knew better than to talk about how a woman looked, besides she looked great to him, "and you look good to me." He would look to her, she was being slow, but hey who cares. "I like my share of salt, but nothing wrong with a little pepper." He would wink, "You can what you want darling, I'm going to eat either way."

He would walk down to the diner they'd come from, he would've liked her to follow. He would open the door for her. "After you lass."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 20126:59pm
Carmen found his words odd, thankfully he followed up with the compliment otherwise she might have smacked him. She smiled in regards to his pepper comment, "Don't worry I've got plenty of pepper." the words were uttered as she had caught up with Sawyer. She had no real intent for going any where, she figured she'd kill half the night in his company then perhaps have a meal. When her opened the door she walked through, "For now I think I want to do this." she said as she passed by him.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 8 20127:22pm
Sawyer liked that she had plenty of pepper, he was also aware of her pepper. "Good to hear lass." They would enter the Diner. "Can I get a numba 2 and 3? Thanks pal." Sawyer would go to a booth and allow her a seat first. "Can I take your jacket?" Sawyer was a rough guy, but he knew better than to not be a gentleman, though there were times where he wasn't. "They make a mean milkshake here, do you like milkshakes?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 20127:44pm
Carmen perked a brow to him as he ordered two meals, "You must be a hungry guy." She said as she crossed to the table, shaking her head to his offer to take her cardigan. "No thanks I'll leave it on." She slipped into one of the seats, "I don't mean to be rude I'm just chilly." she hastily added the last bit lest the man get offended. She smiled softly to his offering of milkshake, "I used to when I was younger, but I've seemed to developed a bit of intolerance to Lactose a couple of years ago. I can't touch dairy products." She lied again to him, she didn't want him to order something she wouldn't be able to consume.

A smile was flashed to him, "But since your so insistent on me getting something while you eat a soda will do fine Tom Cat." she placed her hands on the table, a ring on her middle finger flashed in the light, it looked to be an old piece of art deco jewelery, a diamond set in the gold.

"No worries Lass, you seem like the type who is always cold. I know because I spent some time against your skin." Sawyer would have a good chuckle and then think for a second... 'How is it that she was cold the entire time? It was damned near ninety in the bloody room.'

Sawyer would order her a soda, "Can I get a vanilla Italian soda? Thanks again pal." He would look back to her and give her a smile. "The soda jerk here makes a great Italian soda. I hope that's okay with you lass?"

Sawyer would see the large ring on her hand, "Quite the rock you have there, wouldn't have to be worrying about some hockey nut husband out to find me would I?" Sawyer had a good laugh. "I ordered a numba two burger with fries and a numba 3 steak sandwich to take home to my dog."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 20128:03pm
Carmen just smiled softly, no words were really needed to that, she was always cold and would be that was for a very long time. Only a near gluttonous feeding would change that. Her smiled broadened to the mention of vanilla soda, she loved the scent of vanilla, "It's great." she would lean back into the booth casting her baby blues around the room.

"hmm?" her gaze snapped back to him, "Oh my ring, nope. No big bad hockey husband, just an heirloom." she smiled softly, and that was probably the first honest thing that had come from her lips other than her name. It was an heirloom, her mothers. A look of genuine surprise crossed her features, "You have a dog?"
Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 8 20128:15pm
"I have one of those too, me ma gave me this hat, it was the last thing me pa wore before he went to war." Sawyer would lean back and think of home. "But that's aside the point right lass?" He laughed at her surprise of him owning a dog. "Yep his name is Rosco, he's a big black Great Dane, kinda a funny story." He would say as the plate of food ended up at the table, and a bag which contained the number 3, "I had literally just gotten off the boat, found a place to stay with some distant family, which by the way if ya ever decide to stay wit your familay, make sure they are not your familay." He would laugh at the thought of his 17 year old cousin, Lilly, coming into the bathroom while he was showering, that was an interesting moment in life for him, he would go over the scene of trying to escape the bathroom naked and then being framed for the crime of incest... he would laugh. "Eiteer way lass, I was working the docks when I hear a big splash and saw some guy running from the edge of the docks. I ran over to the edge to see what it was and I saw a bag floating and the bag had not been closed all the way" Sawyer would demonstrate the small plate sized opening in the bag, "I look into this small hole in the bag and sure enough a pup is looking up at me as he goes under water." Sawyer would explain the story excitedly. "I dove into the winter water and pulled the bag up and got me a pup out of the deal, and bloody bad case of the runners." He would laugh, "He's been with me ever since."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 20128:32pm
Perked a brow, she found it mildly interesting that they had a similar experience in regards to mementos. She grew rather quiet as he told his story even smirking and laughing a little bit when the questionable side story was told. She didn't mind that he got sidetracked as he told a story, it gave him more of an idea of who he was. that's learn more about him, and you wont be able to feed from him. her inner voice chimed in, but she waved it away, not particularly caring it had been years, over a decade since her sire was given final death, ten long years of distancing herself from everything. Well everything except blood and money, two necessary things for a vampire to have.

When he finished up with his story she smiled softly, "An interesting story, Sounds like wonderful animal."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 8 20128:34pm
"I love that mutt, he's a great dog." Sawyer would realize he rambled a little, "tell me a ittle more about yourself, I want to know more about Carmen."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 8 20128:38pm
The girl tensed a bit as he brought the conversation around to her, and she was a little thankful for the distraction of her soda. She plucked the straw from it and placed it on the table, then she lifted the glass and appeared to take a very small sip. Just like she had last night. "Ah," she cleared her throat, "I'm just a Jersey girl," a shrug was given, "Any thing specific you wanna know?" she asked him perking a brow. Then she smiled a bit to him, "And before you ask what I'm doing in Boston, I ran away from home years ago." this at least was a half truth

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 8 20128:44pm
"Well, how about something comparable to where your family is, why you ran away, things like why didja decide to come to Boston and not New York?"

Sawyer was thrown back by her dodging and avoiding of the question... it was basic enough he didn't ask for her Social Security Number and her sleep schedule.

"Why aren't you actually drinking that drink?" Sawyer would notice that for the drink she was pretending to drink, there was no soda leaving the glass.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20125:38am
As the questions started she started to twist the ring round her finger, it was just a little too big for her finger so it slid around rather easily. Carmen had started to answer him with "my father drank too much-" but her words stopped short as he inquired about the soda, he was more observant than the average person that was for sure.

She couldn't think of any lie to tell him,so she opted for leaving. Her eyes flickered to the clock on the wall, "I-I have to go." she hoped that the action and her words appeared like she just realized what time it was. Abruptly she stood up and left the small diner.

Outside there were far too many people for her to run, a small crowd had gathered around the diner's entrance and two men were on the brink of a fight. She was stuck between the diner and the group of people, trying slowly to push her way through the crowd. If Sawyer followed her it wouldn't take him long to catch her.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20125:46am
Sawyer wouldn't even follow... if she didn't want to answer, that was her problem. "If she's got to go, she's go to go..." Sawyer would eat his burger and fries. "I'm no puppy." He would pay for his food and walk out the door.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20126:05am
Quickly the girl pushed and even shoved her way through the crowd that had gathered to watch the fight. As soon as she was through Carmen set off down the street at a brisk pace. you idiot her inner voice chimed in once again, if you had fed before now you might have a quicker mind. She sighed heavily and started towards one of the bars on this street, having made her decision about her meal.

The bar was about 6 blocks away from the diner, and it wasn't long until she was out side of it and flirting, almost shamelessly, with a young man who was outside having a cigarette. It wasn't long before she was leading him into the alley that ran along side of the bar. She was thankful that the soon to be victim needed very little persuading, the hunger had been growing.

When they were in the darker part of the alley she wasted very little time. Her lips found his throat, and her teeth sank into his soft flesh a soft contented sound coming from her when the hot blood hit her tongue.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20126:13am
Sawyer would make his way outside to see two men fighting, he thought about joining in, having just been ditched he was in no mood, but he decided otherwise as the night was still young. He would make his way to a corner market that he liked, it was only 5 blocks away after all. He would get there and pick up a few things, a half gallon of milk, some garlic, and a movie he had been wanting to see. He felt overly domestic this evening, but it was likely due to being ditched. "Well either way, I can get home, feed Rosco, watch a movie and hit the bars at a later hour." He would leave the corner market and head home, he wasn't far from it by this point. Walking past bars and clubs on the way home was nothing new to him, he did catch a familiar sent in the air... "Blood?" He wasn't sure where it would be coming from, but it was strong, meaning that it was close... He would walk past a bar into the opening of an alley, this is where it was strongest. He would look down the alley to see two figures one against a wall and the other leaning on them. He would run down the alley seeing that someone was in trouble. "Hey fucko! Leave 'em alo-WHA!?" He would see Carmen standing there draining the life from some poor bastard. "What the fuck are you doing lass? Who the fuck is this? What's he done? What the bloody fuck are you doing!?" Sawyer was freaking out a little... he didn't really know what to do... he would look onto his friend of the evening with a bit of shock on his face, waiting for an explanation, she was not getting away this time.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20126:28am
Carmen felt no particular desire to let this one live, she could tell from his demeanor and body language when she had started talking to him that he wasn't exactly a fella on the straight an narrow path. As she fed a familiar scent crept into her nose, then the sound's of footsteps accompanied with a familiar voice hit her ears. Crap was her initial thought, and she pulled herself form his throat, but not before running her tongue along the wound her teeth had created, then she the let the man go. Dazed and missing a good few pints of blood he staggered a bit, looking as if her were drugged.

Stepping away from the victim she turned to look at Sawyer, the only tell tale sign of what had occurred was the red staining her lips. However that was soon cleaned up by her darting tongue. She knew that the victim would remain dazed for a couple of moments, and unless sawyer got him worked up he'd never really realize what happened, she had to separate them. Carmen looked from Sawyer to the man who she just fed from, and gave him a smile. "Thanks so much, I really needed a hug, go on back to the bar I'll join you shortly."

The dazed victim, indeed had no real idea as to what happened, he thought he just scored. Happily he sauntered back to the bar. Of course Carmen had no intentions of following the guy.

Once the man was out of ear shot she looked to Sawyer, her eyes were actually a little bit sad. "You're no fool Tom Cat....put the pieces together."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20126:34am
Sawyer was astonished at her candid response, "What the fuck do you mean? Are you implying that I should put the pieces of you being a crazed loon and drinking blood together?" Sawyer was freaked, "I don't even know what you're expecting me to put together... The only thing I know of that drinks blood is a bloody fucking vampire... those aren't real, so what the fuck are you?" Sawyer was half tempted to just leave the alley like he'd never seen it, "I like ya lass, so I'm willing to give you the benefit of the doubt, what the hell was that?" Sawyer would set down his groceries and stare at her, he would get a little closer and see that she had enjoyed herself... he would walk slightly closer, "Lass, I'm willing to understand this, but I don't have the know how..." He would walk up to her and wipe the remaining blood from her lip...

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20126:42am
"If I were a loon I'd be a malkavian." she muttered as he was freaking out, then Carmen ran her fingers through her bleached blond lock out of nervous habit. As he said vampires we're not real she could only laugh bitterly, but she waited until had finished speaking, actually a but surprised when he got close enough to wipe the blood from her lip.

"My deathly cold skin, my...chompers," she used the word he had used, "I can't drink or eat things that you can, and the blood..." she spelled out the pieces for him, "Sure sounds like a vampire to me..." she trailed off, not sure what to do. She had never been found out, and anyone who caught her feeding rarely lived to tell about it.

Again the girl ran her hands through her hair, glancing to his groceries. "You were heading home..." she murmured, "If you'll allow me to accompany you....I'll explain things there..." she glanced around the alley, "I'd rather not do it here in public."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20127:18am
Sawyer came to grips with it... the girl he'd been getting to know over the last day, was indeed a vampire... "Well we can certainly go somewhere, but I'm going to be honest, how do I know lass, that you're not going to kill me at your first chance?" Sawyer was being very realistic about his caution. "I mean it's not like I hear about vampires on a daily basis, just from crazy people and those with too much time on their hands."

Sawyer was convinced that he would be safe, but he was still being cautious. "Let's head to my loft."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20127:23am
Carmen knew that he would be asking that, she sighed softly. "If I was going to kill you I would have done it in the hotel room." she sighed softly and leaned down to pick up one for grocery bags.

"Lead the way Sawyer." The girl was a little somber now, not sure how she felt about talking about things long since past.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20127:31am
"You make a valid point Carmen." They would make their way to his loft, a quiet walk as he didn't have anything else on his mind and she didn't want to talk about it in public as she stated. "Here we are." They hadn't been, but a couple blocks away, he had the top loft, "Let's head up there, I'll feed Rosco, you get comfortable and then we'll talk about this..." They would head up to the loft and he would walk off the elevator, Rosco would be there goofy as always. He would jump on Sawyer and try to eat the bag of steak right out of his hand. "Hey-Hey! Boy! Rosco! Get down!" Sawyer would say excitedly. He would go feed Rosco who other than steak didn't even know anything else was there. Sawyer would click a button on the wall and the shades would seal all of the windows. "Wasn't sure how long this conversation would go, but just in case the sun won't get in, I'm a drinker, not a fan of the sun myself either... you are harmed by the sun right?"
Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20127:41am
The young vampire was silent through the entire walk to his place, she was trying to figure out where to start. By the time they were rising in the elevator she still hadn't exactly figured it out. As they exited and the dog bounded over to Sawyer she smiled, and it was completely genuine perhaps for the first time since they had met.

Carmen walked over to the couch and sank down into one corner as Sawyer fed his dog. just start over, tell him what was truth and what was lies she had decided.

"hmm?" she looked to him as he spoke about the sun. "Well, prolonged exposure would render me a pile of ashes before you but, as you can tell by the pallour of my skin..I can handle small doses..."

She sighed a little bit an rubbed her eyes, "Alright...so I guess this is where I start explaining..." she looked back to him, "Well, my name was partial truth. My ring was true...and Jersey was true." She counted out the truths for him, the rest had mostly been lies.

"My real name is Rosemary Lillian Carmen, I was born in Jersey in 1949...."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20127:44am
Sawyer was taken back by the date he heard. He wouldn't say anything he would poor himself a drink and sit down, he wouldn't even bother to get her anything, though he did get a vanilla bean for her. He handed it to her. He would relax as best anyone could with a real vampire in their living room...

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20127:53am
Carmen perked a brow to the vanilla bean, but she accepted it, taking it up to her nose and inhaling the scent of it. "I love the smell, I used to love the taste..." she sighed a bit, turning the bean over in her hands.

"before I abruptly left the diner....I was starting to say my father drank too much, and it lead it many..." she trailed off a moment her eyes clouding just a little, she hadn't thought of her father in years, "unpleasant experiences for a child to go through." is how she chose to finish the sentence, hinting at abuse but not out rightly admitting it. "And I mentioned I was a runaway, that was true also..."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20127:56am
Sawyer would sit and listen to her story. "So you ran from yer pa, to become a vampire?" Sawyer wasn't really that confused, more or less trying to get her to lighten up. "Me father beat me black and blue, I know the story, I wanted to run too, but I lived on an island." Sawyer realized he'd interrupted her, "Please continue."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20128:06am
Carmen shook her head, "No I didn't run from him to become a vampire. I ran to escape him." She murmured in reply with a weary sigh, suddenly the girl seemed to age, not in body but in sheer attitude, and mind frame.

"After leaving them I ran about Jersey for about a week or so before I encounters a traveling circus, and I managed to talk my way into a job..." she realized just how cheesy that sounded but it didn't stop her, "Most of them were from India, the circus was called Rāta kī Sarkasa." she pronounced the Hindi words carefully, trying to wrap her jersey accent around them. "I was told it meant night circus..." she shrugged a bit again, "The ringmaster was from India, and a member of the Ravnos clan..." she knew the words would mean virtually nothing to him. "His son, I'm not sure if he was actually the man's son or not, was a vampire also."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20128:13am
Sawyer would get up and refill his drink, coming to terms with the existence of vampires was a strange realization, and if there was anything that would easy his nerves it was likely to be a type of bourbon he'd been saving since he left Ireland... "Ireland's Best" He would say as he pulled the bottle from the top shelf of his liquor cabinet. He would poor a drink for himself and hand the cork to Carmen, "I know you can't really drink, but I thought you might appreciate the smell of it." He would sit down and sip his fine bourbon slowly. "An Indian Night Circus, that sounds strange, but with the time frame I'm hearing it's about right, 1964 would be the year you would've joined them... lot's of circus acts still in the US at that time, they had moved from the UK to the states." Sawyer was a bit of a history buff. "I think it's interesting that you can sit on my couch and look at me and tell me all of this and yet... not seem like any of it happened to you... it's like it happened to someone you knew." Sawyer didn't know what it took to become a vampire, nor did he think he was going to bed tonight without understanding it. "His son was a vampire also?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20128:27am
Carmen shook her head to the proffered cork, she didn`t drink when she was alive, so she didn`t need to smell it. She nodded along with his words, "Correct Tom Cat, they had only just come over seas the year before." she sighed a little bit looking away from him, her eyes taking a bit of a distant look. "Yes Aakash, was a vampire also." the name was spoke with a sort of sore familiarity. "He became my constant companion in the night time hours, only to disappear when the sun came up and the rest of us were preparing for our daily duties." apparently she worked for the circus a while before her embrace.

She didn't intend to give him too many details about her life then, the embrace or her life afterwards it didn't really matter. "By 1966 he made me what I am now...." she sighed heavily her eyes still not looking at him.

"Everything was gravy for a long time, for thrity years..." she trailed off as she reached the hard bit of the story, not sure how to explain an ancient rising and in his own death throes nearly eliminating the entire clan.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20128:33am
"Whoa, whoa, whoa lass... How did you become a vampire? That shit doesn't just POOF just happen like taking a shit..." Sawyer was perturbed that he wasn't getting the whole story. "Look lass, you're obviously telling me this because your trust me or you're going to kill me, and you already told me I'm still alive so that was my saving grace." Sawyer was the kind of man who needed the facts. "Just give the facts, how did you become a vampire, what's that like, what happened to your dude, and what is the daily life of a vampire like?" Sawyer was to the point, this was a characteristic he got from his father, whom he didn't care for of course... he was glad the bastard died, but it killed his mother... "Shit happens to us all, time to time we have to tell someone, don't rip yourself off and sugarcoat what you're trying to tell me."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20128:50am
Looked back to Sawyer as he began speaking, her eyes which had been distant, and lost in memories of happier times, were now slowly turning angry. As her continued on speaking her face soon took on an irritated expression. "You want to hear that Kash became my lover and I his regular meal? You wish to know that one night he fed too gluttonously and drained the last drop of blood from my body? Then made the desperate decision to make me what I am today!" The words had come out in an angry snarl, "Choose your words carefully mortal. You live because I have allowed it thus far." She was infuriated with him at that moment, but made no move from the couch.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20128:58am
Sawyer felt her anger in a wave. "Look, I didn't know, and I wanted to..." He didn't know how to explain it, but he would try. "I'm the human, who a few minutes ago didn't even believe vampires were real, now I'm the guy talking to the vampire on his couch... sorry if I'm a little insensitive, but I'm on edge, threatening me isn't going to help..." Sawyer wasn't afraid, he figured that if she was to kill him, he'd had a good life to his point. "I'm not afraid of you, no matter what you say or do... I'm just confused and curious, but I don't know how to ask the questions I have." Sawyer was genuine... he felt bad for making her relive those memories, but he didn't even know they were there... "Look had I known you suffered I might have been more tactful... Sorry."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20129:11am
A heavy sigh came from the young vampiress, "Thank you for explaining yourself a little more tactfully..." the words were murmured, and she shifted in her seat, "Okay....so perhaps if you have a question ask it more gently...I haven't told anyone any of this." She looked from the mortal to look for the dog, an animal was always a welcome distraction.

"I will finish my story then answer your other questions, "Kash's father was not pleased, but at that point I was had already risen again so there wasn't much he could do about the situation. We spent years traveling and presenting the facade of a circus, out of the 30 players within the circus there were 10 of us who couldn't walk the light of day. Our lives were routine, and much like the one I live now...we did tricks and preformed very real illusions to make cash, then we moved on." She fell back into her story.

"It wasn't until the 1990's where things started to change, the mortals in the circus either all disbanded and the 10 of us continued on...." she sighed lightly, "Then Zapathasura rose...." her tanned face grew pale, "I...I don't know the complete history I know that we are his children....." a stammer came from her, "But...He started to annihilate us... all of us." She was having difficulties recounting the last bit of her tale, it was the part that left her raw. "He found us..."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20129:18am
Sawyer felt better now that she had calmed down... he listened intently as Rosco came into the room and began to lick the new person's hand. He would look up at her and tilt his head as though he was confused by "the dead lady" "Rosco..." Sawyer would say as Rosco did this... "He found you?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20129:24am
Carmen nodded her head, letting the dog sniff her hands before she moved her hand to pet him gently. "The long and the short of it is I survived, I don't know why Zapathasura let us live he knew we was there..." she sighed a little bit, "Perhaps it's because the sun was rising....Kash who was older than I by quite a bit, shielded me from the sun....and left me behind..." The experience might have happened over ten years ago, but it was still raw and fresh in her mind. As she paused a bloody tear slid down her cheek, but was briskly wiped away.

"So," she said after swallowing thickly, "What have you to say now...." She looked from Rosco to Sawyer, Her blue eyes were still slightly blurred by unshead bloody tears.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20129:29am
Sawyer stood up and walked over to the couch sat down next to her... he would attempt to cradle her on his shoulder. He would say nothing... there was nothing he could say... he would just hold her close and let her feel his warmth... Rosco would lay down at there feet, as to say sorry you feel bad dead lady. Sawyer would just give her his shoulder... just so she could feel something... he wanted to say he was sorry she suffered... and that she as alone... but he felt this was the only way to do it... he wasn't asking for anything, he wasn't telling her anything... he was just trying to comfort her.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20129:37am
Had he been totally unfamiliar she would have pushed him away, but due to the previous evening's events he wasn't. She was with holding tears still, trying to remember that it happened over a decade ago and tears for Kash, and the other immortals who had become a sort of family to her were long since shed. For many moments she just sat with in the circle of his arms her head resting against his shoulders. "We are immortal...but that doesn't mean we can't die." she finally spoke, and sat up, but she didn't move to far from him.

"Now....your questions..." she sighed trying to remember them, "They were of course common ones...our daily lives...what it is like...." she sighed once more
Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 20129:40am
"Let's worry about that later... okay?" Sawyer had enough of vampire talk to last him the night, but he was also concerned about what it was doing to Carmen. "Carmen why don't we watch this movie I rented and relax?" He was sincere, he didn't want to talk about it anymore for her sake more than his own. "I haven't seen it before, but who knows maybe watching it with someone would be better than no one." He would look to her to see if she approved of this idea... "You're safe here, at least I think so."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 20129:49am
The young vampire nodded her head, she was more than happy to change the subject for the time being. It was hard on her but in the end sawyer had been correct speaking the words out loud had helped, it felt like a weight had lifted form her shoulders. "That sounds just fine." her eyes wandered looking for a clock, despite the friendship that was slowing starting to grow she would be more comfortable in her own enviroment when the sun rose. So she was keeping an eye on the time.

"And unless you've got any vampires living in your building I think I'm okay..." She murmured softly and she was far from joking. They could be highly territorial

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 201210:19am
Sawyer was happy to curl up with her and watch a movie. "This sounds like something I could grow to like." He would start the movie... (on phone forgive my tiny responses and spelling errors.)

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 201210:27am
Carmen was content for the time being, but she was wondering just how smart it was to be spending to much time with him. Sure it was fine for now, but what would she do if they actually grew close, and he wanted the only thing she really had to offer. Immortality, she wasn't sure how she felt when that thought came to mind.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 201210:35am
For being as smart as Sawyer was he was kind of a moron in this scenario. Sure she was cute and fun, buthow long would it possibly last? He didn't care for the moment... he curled up to her and kissed the top of her head. He would smile and grip her closer... she was a cheap date too he would hold in a laugh to himself.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 201210:42am
Other than situations where she had spent a few hours in someone's company for the purpose of money, or blood this had been the first time in a decade that she was physically close to someone else. It felt odd, but not entirely unpleasant.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 201210:45am
He was warm and happy, but unfortunately human. He would yawn towards the end of the movie. He would stay awake but only because of her. "Should i put in another movie?" he would ask with half drawn eyes.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 201210:48am
Carmen noticed him growing steadily tired, when he yawned she smiled a bit. "I think it's time for me to head home actually..." she murmured to him, "But if I leave you my address..." she hesitated a bit, "Will you join me there tomorrow?"

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 201211:04am
Sawyer was sad to hear that she wanted to head home. "You're more than welcome to stay here Carmen." he would say with a soft tone. His shades blocked 100% of light and he didn't have windows in the bedroom. "...but if you leave your address and would like me to come see you... I will." he would say with a smile.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 201211:10am
Want and need were two very different things, Carmen needed to head home, because she didn't want to end up hurting him during the day light hours. "Good...I'm glad to hear that." she smiled to him, "Got a pen and paper?" she would ask as she pulled from the close position they had been in during the movie.

While he got her a pen and paper she was debating on what she would need to have him over to her house tomorrow. Her house didn't exactly have things a mortal would keep on hand, most notably food and drink.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 201211:32am
He'd hand her the paper from the counter and a pen. "Here ya go." He would stand and wonder what she would have to eat or drink. He would then say, "I'll bring the food, you grab the movie?" he would say thinking quickly. ''Do you have a phone?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 201211:40am
when the pen an paper appeared she jotted down the address of her small downtown apartment. From the address she provided it didn't sounds like a good neighborhood, but she had her privacy so that was all that mattered to her. "I was actually just wondering what you would want to eat and drink." She was going to get a 6 pack for him on her way home.

"And sure sure I can get a movie, and no I don't have a phone at the moment." she paused to think a moment, "Okay...so I'll have to run out after the sun goes down...so how about you wait till about 8:30 before showing up." she was planning a head giving herself enough time to get out to the store, she was going to go get herself one of those cell phones she had been seeing everywhere.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 201211:48am
Sawyer would think, "Well you can grab me a six of something... though you dont have to." Sawyer was fading fast. "830? Okay sounds good." he would walk to the elevator. "I'll walk you home though." Sawyer was just trying to be polite. "You ready?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 201211:54am
Carmen seemed to find his last words really amusing. "Please stay and sleep. I will be more than fine on my way home." She smiled softly to him as she stood next to the elevator. He had sort of interrupted her feeding earlier, and she wanted to sang a quick meal on the way home.

She placed her hand on his chest and kissed him softly on the lips, then she turned and headed down the elevator. The last of her he would see until tomorrow would be her disappearing down the elevator

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 201212:02pm
Sawyer would stand there almost frozen... the kiss was different from any other... cold but warm... it felt great. Sawyer would watch her leave and make his way to his bedroom. "Boyo shes got you by the short ones..." he would say just as he would fade out.
Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 201212:10pm
Carmen walked home, in a rather melancholic mood, caught between the enjoyment of close interaction with someone and the worry of what would come. A homeless person sufficed for a quick meal thankfully he didn't smell too bad.

Once home she check all of her locks, and then locked herself into her windowless room just before the sun rose and fell into the sleep of the dead.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 9 201212:18pm
Sawyer would wake up around noon the next day and clean his apartment... though he was going out tonight, he wouldnt like to leave it like this. "Sawyer you are doing good. Bills paid, money in your pocket, a nice girl... who's a vampire..." he'd look down at rosco who was following him around the house, "and a very cool dog who did very well with a stranger last night." Sawyer would toss Rosco a treat. "Good boy."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 9 201212:25pm
Carmen wouldn't stir till just before the sun set. She would lie in the darkness of the windowless room and mull things over again, and she was till fairly shocked and slightly pleased with herself. When she knew the sun had set she left the confines of the small room. Got cleaned up and dressed then headed out to pick up a few things.

Just as the clock stuck 8 she arrived home carrying a couple of bags and the six pack of beer. She had gotten a movie, a bag of regular potato chips, a cell phone, a couple of candles and a piece of fish. The fish was something she did for the alley cats. After fiddling with the locks to the window that accessed the fire escape she set a couple of small chunks of the fish outside her window. She often enjoyed the company of the alley cats, there was one huge tom with a missing ear who was particularity friendly.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 10 201212:01am
Just before 8 Sawyer would take a shower and put on some nice clothes, he would even make a stop at the corner market for a Lilly, that was his favorite flower, and he hoped she'd like it.

At 8 o'clock Sawyer would make his way to Carmen's apartment. "I'll just order a pizza if I get too hungry." He would think. He would walk through a pretty beat up neighborhood, even being spied on in this neighborhood could mean bad news. He would keep his head low until he got to her apartment door. He would knock three times and wait for her to respond and answer the door, he would check the address again just to make sure.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 10 20128:05am
As Carmen started putting things away the tell tale sounds of the large tom could be heard from the fire escape, she smiled a little looking over to the window where the large black Tom cat sat. "Evening Spook." she greeted the cat as the knock came to the door, "That must be Sawyer."

The girl smiled as she unlocked the 3 locks that she had on the door, and opened it. "Hey." she greeted him with a soft smile. Tonight the girl was dressed in a light blue tank top, and a pair of black slacks. "How are you tonight?" she would say after shutting the door, "I got some beer for you...I hope it's alright." she had no clue what was considered good beer, so she made a guess.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 10 20128:16am
"I like anything with alcohol in it, don't worry too much." He would smile at her and hand her the flowers he'd gotten. "I got these for you, I'm not sure how to go about this, but I hope you like 'em." Being a bachelor for the majority of his short life, he'd never had a steady girl or even dated for much more than two dates. "I was on my way over here and I was wondering what we were going to do tonight, did you have anything in mind?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 10 20126:42pm
The vampiress' apartment was small, and sparsely furnished, but it was cozy and kept clean. In the living area was a couch, chair and coffee. To the left of the living area there were 2 doors, 1 to the kitchen and 1 to the bathroom. To the right were another 2 doors, 1 leading to the bedroom, which she didn't used due to windows but was set up like a bedroom for appearances. The other lead to the small windowless room where she slept.

Carmen looked surprised when Sawyer produced the lilies. "Thank you." She smiled once again to him, "Would you like one of those beers?" She asked as she took the lilies from him. She thought the choice was rather ironic, even if it was subconsciously so. Lillies were often thought as the flowers of death.

As she drifted to the kitchen to find something to put the flowers in the tom cat sitting in the open window meowed loudly, announcing that it was looking for more fish. "You'll get nothing if you demand it." Her voice drifted in from the kitchen, scolding the fat tom.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 10 20129:51pm
Sawyer would come in and take a seat on the couch looking over at the big fat cat in the window. "I'll have a beer, that'd be great thanks." Sawyer was nervous... this was not a common experience for him... he usually was so ready for anything, but he wasn't ready for this... "How long have your been feeding this big guy" pointing to the fat cat, "He looks like he could use a diet." Sawyer would laugh at the cat.

Sawyer noticed how nice she made the place, he thought maybe that the furnishings were used less than the average person... was she a person? Sawyer had many conflicts about who she or what she was... "So have you ever noticed the elephant in the room?" Sawyer would casually say.. "I mean... I'm a human, and you're a vampire... how does this work? I mean a friendship, or anything else... is it different?" Sawyer was doing his best to polite in the way he asked... but he was still pretty nervous about it all. "I don't really know how to ask it any other way you know?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 10 201210:01pm
In the kitchen she had found a tall glass that would hold the lilies once the stems were trimmed. After trimming the stems she placed them in the glass. Carmen smiled softly when he spoke of her furry companion. "Spook has been around for about 4 years, I like to think he came with the apartment..." she said as she placed a beer in front of him, and the lilies on the table. Then as he began speaking of a proverbial elephant she was on her way back to the kitchen to get another piece of fish for Spook.

An auidable sigh came from her. "Well, You would be the frist I've tried to befriend since Kash....but I would imagine the friendship would be like any other friendship. Why should it be different....?" she asked perking a brow as she walked in from the kitchen. heading straight for a the cat. "As for everything else," a smirk came to her face, had he forgotten so soon? "Well everything else seems to work just fine."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 10 201210:07pm
Sawyer turned a little fun color of red, "You know what I mean... what if this becomes more than friends... what happens if this is a longer haul than we anticipate? How's that work? Do you turn me?" Sawyer realized he may have taken the wrong approach... "I mean I'm just confused is all, no offense." Sawyer was doing his best to be on his best manners... "I like you, don't think I don't, I'm just wanting to know the game before I sit down to play it, do you know what I mean?"

Sawyer would get up and go try and pet Spook. "I just... I don't know, you're different... in a very good way, might I add... and I'd be a fool to think that their aren't some sort of special rules or boundaries to things..."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 10 201210:17pm
As Carmen approached the Cat would stand up on it's hind legs, and look like an overweight black meerkat. Carmen shook her head, and smiled at the cats antics before feeding a bit of the fish to it. As Sawyer approached the cat seemed to grow leery of him, not hostile but nervous, that was until she put a piece of raw fish into Sawyer's hand. She sighed softly, "I don't know." the words were said slightly like a 16 year old would say them, a little irritated. Then she sighed, "I'm sorry...but I don't actually know myself." she looked from the cat to him for moment, then shrugged softly. "But I can assure you that nothing would be done with out your consent, I wouldn't bite you or anything."

The tom cat who had been leery at first was now butting his head against Sawyer's hand, searching for a scratch behind his good ear.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 10 201210:22pm
Sawyer would scratch the ear of the cat. "I like knowing that... and Rose, if you don't mind I'd like to call you Rose..." Sawyer would look at her deeply, "You're a special person... a special woman... and that's more than enough for me to take this trip with you to help you figure it all out..." Sawyer would lean in and kiss her forehead lightly. While still hovering at her forehead, "I'm not taking off over some sharp chompers." He would look into her eyes with a smile and wink.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 10 201210:27pm
Carmen was s bit surprised, but she didn't mind it if he wished to call her something else. Rose sounded a whole lot softer and feminine than Carmen did. She nodded to him, a soft smile on her lips. She was pleased to hear that he wouldn't mind sticking around, to be honest with herself she was surprised that she felt that way. By the time he winked to her she was grinning, "Well good to know." she moved over to take a seat on the couch.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 10 201210:34pm
Sawyer would make his way from the cat to the couch and sit next to her... he'd pull her in to his side... "This is a good spot right?" Sawyer was in a relaxed position, finally less nervous than he had been... he was thinking about that kiss last night though... and it was driving him crazy on the inside, he wanted to return the favor, but he liked her so he want to play by the rules and do it in a gentlemanly way... "So, what do we have planned for the night ma'am?" Sawyer would wait for the right opportunity and work his way through the night to kiss what felt like the softest lips he'd ever felt... "I'm in no hurry for anything, I drank some energy drinks and took a late nap this afternoon, so I could stay up with you tonight."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 11 20127:05pm
Carmen shrugged her shoulders, "I guess so." she laughed lightly, it felt a little odd but not unpleasantly so. The only problem with the closeness might be the fact she hadn't taken the time to feed while she was out, and she likely should have. Being so close to him she could practically smell his blood, however she was no ravenous fledgling who couldn't contain themselves, if she grew hungry she would just pop out for a moment or two.

"Hmm....well I got a movie like you suggested." she chuckled a little bit, "I'm truthfully not sure what I grabbed...it might end up being horrible." Then the girl smiled almost sheepishly, "Then I was wondering if you might be able to help me with something." she pushed up from the couch and headed to grab something from the kitchen. She returned carrying a small box, a brand new cellphone, the box said LG enV2. "Help me with this damned thing..." it was clear she had already opened the box.
Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 20126:50am
Sawyer would laugh at her a little, but not meanly. "I'm sure the movie will be fine, worst case we turn it off and continue to enjoy each others' company." Sawyer would take the phone from Rose. "Rose this phone is pretty old, are you sure this is the phone you want to use?" Sawyer was unsure if she'd ever had a cellphone. "Have you ever had a cellphone?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 20127:00am
Carmen blinked, "Old..." she didn't quite seem to understand what he meant, it was new to her, as was most technology. She didn't realize that cellphones had grown in leaps and bounds in the last 5 years, she was still slightly fascinated by the fact that you could carry a phone with you, and the phone was as small as the plam of your hand. To his question she shook her head, "No I haven't this will be the first, never really had a reason to. Everyone I wanted to speak to was with in arms length before..." she was referring to her clan mates, "afterwards well..." she shrugged. "No real reason for one..."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 20127:14am
Sawyer was taken back by her misunderstanding of technology, but didn't voice it. "Well let's get you set up and if you don't like what you see then we'll change it." he would say with a smile, "Let's look at it like this, technology is like a boulder rolling down and endless hill eh? And as the boulder rolls down the hill it moves faster and farther at every day." Sawyer was not trying to talk down to her, but explain how the age of information had really changed technology. "Plus people buy new technology every six months just to keep up."

Sawyer would go ahead and set up her phone and make a call to his own phone and save it into the phone, he would also create the voice app that would allow her to just say his name. "There you go my friend, all set up!"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 20127:30am
Listened quietly only nodding to his words, "Okay...so I'm guessing that this phone...isn't really useful any more?" she asked as he began setting it up. Still trying to grasp the concept of it, it would take her a bit to fully understand it, hell she still had issues with the television and DVD player.

"So..." she looked from the phone to her new companion, "What do I do with it?" she felt more than a little stupid, "I'm sorry...things had really changed alot since I last paid attention to technology..." that was true, "do I dial the numbers and the phone call is made..?"

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 20127:41am
Sawyer would gracefully help her to understand the phone."This phone is more than worth a try and is still entirely useful, but it's got less to offer, but in you're case it makes more sense." Sawyer would say politely as to not make her feel dumb,"Everyone has to start somewhere right?" Sawyer would explain, "I've got it set up for at least my number, in case you need help, where all you do is hit this button on the side here, and say my name." He would demonstrate it for her several times until she understood it. "There are other things you can do, you can type a number into this phone here, like with any other phone and then hit SEND and it will make a call..." Sawyer would look up at Rose to make sure she was catching on, seeing that she was struggling he would go a little slower. "When was the last time you used a phone, a phone from any time you've been alive?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 20127:47am
She nodded her head a he started to explain in a bit more detail, silently thankful that he was so patient with her. She was slowly understanding it, and likely with in a couple of days she would have a fairly good understanding of the phone.

To his question she grinned a little bit sheepishly, "Well...I've used pay phones but other than those..." she shrugged her small shoulders. "I haven't really used them much."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 20128:01am
Sawyer would smile with some excitement, "Great, that's great, so just like when you call people from it the call doesn't go through until you put in all the numbers right?" Sawyer would pause, "Well with a cell phone you have to hit the SEND button so that it pushes the call out." Sawyer would explain texting to her one day, but not any day soon unless she was interested. "Is this a pre-pay, or did you sign a contract?" Sawyer realized that she could have a contract on something going as far back as the 70's... funny he found it. "It will make a big difference."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 20128:25am
She smiled seeing his excitement, and she nodded to his words. Tex ting would be over her head for the time being, in a few days he could teach her if he wished. Her brows flared, "Contract?" evidently it was a pre paid phone. [crap post sorry]

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 20128:52am
Sawyer could read that she was getting frustrated and disinterested with the phone. "The good news is you can call me anytime, you likely have the same plan I do and if you don't I'll do something about it." Sawyer was willing to take care of it for her... he was feeling... manly, but wasn't beating the tar out of another man or mounting a sexy woman... it was a weird, but accepted feeling when he thought of it. "For now we can just take care of this movie and if I get hungry I'll order some food if that is okay?" Sawyer was hungry and his stomach growled a little, but he didn't want to eat in front of her, he thought it was rude. "I've been meaning to ask, I was on the internet and found that they made this kind of wine with blood in it... it's willingly given, it sounds kinda strange to me, but I figured it could be something you could drink... so I bought some" ,he would pull the bottle from his bag that he brought over, he always has a bag on him. "if you want we can try it?" Sawyer wasn't sure how he'd feel about blood in his wine, but as long as it got him drunk he'd be okay.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 20129:17am
The vampiress blinked to him, "Alright." she laughed a little bit, "I'm sure I'll get it eventually..." another laugh came from her, "I manged to figure out being 16 for the rest of my life, If I can master that I'm sure I can master this." she indicated the phone. When he suggested that the move onto the other portion of the evening she nodded, and was more than happy to move on. With a nod of her head she was getting back up to go retrieve the movie. As shed got up the sound of his stomach reached her ears. "Why didn't you just bring something with you?" she asked perking a brow to him, he would have to either get used to eating in front of her or they wouldn't be spending too much time together. "I don't mind." she said placing the moive on the table as he pulled out the bottle of bloodwine.

She perked a brow, she had heard that some people make this stuff. "I know how it's made, and I know where the blood comes from just never tried it." she smiled a moment the began to giggle. "Oh I wouldn't expect you to drink it...unelss you like the taste of blood." she gave him a puzzled look for a moment.

"Here's an idea..." she smiled softly to him, "Why don't we go out for a little bit? You go get your food...and I'll find a meal too." she sighed a little bit wondering how much it would bother him that she was going to get a meal as well. There were of course alternatives to feeding from a live victim and if it seemed to bother her she would move to the alternative. "I can...go buy blood." she knew that those words would sound really strange to him.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 20129:24am
Sawyer realized that she was perturbed that he didn't eat, but he was doing his best to be polite after all. "Well I'm okay with the idea, but I did want to say something... could you drink my blood? and if so... I know this sounds like something from a stupid book, but could you ~control~ yourself? I mean, I don't know what it's like to be a vampire so I have to ask some of these questions... but what does drinking blood entail for the... bleeder?" he would struggle not to call them victim. "I mean if you're not going to kill me and it's just easier for you, why not?" Sawyer was obviously too stupid to look some of this up online, but he didn't know if any of this would be accurate there... "I swear Rose, I'm trying to be as polite about this as I can... but I don't know how." Sawyer didn't mind if she bit into someone else, but he didn't necessarily like the idea of her killing someone... then again survival of the fittest... "I mean it's fine if you want to lure some schmuck into an alley, though I don't think I could have ya kill him... you know? I'm sorry Rose, I'm a big duff." Duff was a word they used where he came from for blockhead or meathead.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 20129:43am
She wasn't necessarily perturbed, but felt that she was thinking logically. She sank back into the couch beside him as he began talking about his blood. At first she though he was leading up to asking to be embraced, which is something she wasn't going to do, at least not yet. when she realized he was suggesting that she drank his blood instead of finding some poor soul who would fit the bill she nodded her head a little bit. "Well, I can control myself..." she pursed her lips a moment, "so you needed worry about me draining you to the last drop." she paused considering his question carefully.

"Well...I remember the bite.." she sighed very softly, "It wasn't unpleasant," a slight flush came to her tanned cheeks, "It was rather enjoyable....and I'll admit...I didn't exactly want it to stop." she was trying to be informative, and hoping that she was getting the point across that it became rather addicting to her when she was mortal. Each time she ask kash not to stop, which is what lead to the blunder that caused her to be as she was today.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 20129:50am
Sawyer was intrigued... "Well even if we do this, I would imagine it's like giving blood, I should probably eat and not be drunk" he would look at his beer, "not that getting drunk is going to happen from one beer."

Sawyer would take a second to think about it, "I think I'm okay with it, if you feel like I'm getting addicted, make sure you tell me, I think that's all I need to not do so, does that make sense?" Sawyer was willing to do this, he did think her going after some other guy was a bit intimate for his taste... he'd rather take the bite than some dude. "I'll look at it like this, why have jerky when you have the rib-eye sitting on your couch right?" Sawyer would have a laugh at himself, though he was still unsure... "If it would be weird for you to drink me, then we can go another route, but I'm just offering because... well to be honest Rose, you're the only person in my life that I trust..."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 201210:32am
Carmen smiled softly to his intrigue, "It doesn't matter, but you should likely have eaten first..." the young vampiress pushed her hair from face and behind her ears and shoulders. Her blue eyes were unwaveringly set on Sawyer as he was thinking, she could tell he was definitely considering the possibility of it and trying to make it sounds plausible to himself more than to her. She was totally uncomfortable with the idea, the thought of a willing victim seemed to make life sound alot easier.

She began to laugh a little bit, "It'll be as obvious to you as it to me when or if it happens." She wondered what bothered him about her feeding the fact that she might kill some poor smuck as he put it, or if it was the fact that she was so close to someone else. His last words seemed to surprise her thoroughly. How could he not trust anyone, and why would he trust her. She had robbed him blind just the other night, and if she wanted to she could likely kill him in a few breaths.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 201210:39am
Sawyer would think about it... "If you want to, and you don't think it's weird, I'm game." Sawyer was up for the task, he did want to eat first. "Let me order a pizza and have a few bites and then you can drink?" Sawyer wasn't so much uncomfortable with what was going on as he was unsure, he didn't know what any of it entailed... He wanted to show her that he was ready to trust her... "I mean think about it, if I was to trust anyone, maybe I should trust the person who, if I'm not mistaken, could snap me like a twig and I'd never see it coming..." Sawyer thought, "which is kinda hot" Sawyer would laugh, "but what I'm getting at Rose is that if I didn't trust you, I wouldn't be here, and if I didn't think that you trusted me at least to some extent, I think I'd be dead in an alley somewhere or I wouldn't have ever known anything about you to begin with..." Sawyer was being himself, genuine. "Sure I can be a total shithead from time to time, but I have those... what do you call 'em?" Sawyer would snap his fingers, "feelings that's it, feelings, I have 'em though most deal with booze, women, and food, I've developed this trust feeling for you... and I like it, so how abouts we do what we need to feed ya? and me for that matter." Sawyer would laugh. He would take his phone and look at Rose, "is it okay if I order a pizza?"
Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 201210:54am
Now the vampire was starting to feel bad about robbing him, the money she had taken from him was sitting in the safe she had hidden some where here in the apartment, sighing softly she gave him a smile. "Now...I feel bad." she laughed a little bit. "It's been interesting meeting you Sawyer...if I knew that we were to be friends perhaps I wouldn't have robbed you." She laughed getting to her feet.

"You order your pizza, and I'll be right back." she gave him another smile before disappearing into the master bedroom. She was gone for quite a few minuets, and when she came back she was holding a wad of cash. "Here." she grinned to him, "Some how it doesn't feel right anymore."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 201210:58am
Sawyer would have a good laugh at his friend. "No, Rose you're going to keep that." Sawyer would walk up and pick up Rose(if permitted) and carry her into the bedroom. He wasn't going to necessarily have sex with, he would more just play with her and rough house with her. "Bring it on light weight", he'd say trying to provoke her a little bit, "Show me what you're made of!"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 201211:21am
Put the cash on the table as he told her to keep it, "got plenty more...." that much was at least true she had close to ten grand sitting in that safe, all of which had been acquired in various ways, some times conning, sometimes doing as she had done with him. Slept with the the mark, then robbed him when he passed out after the merrymaking. As he hoisted her up she began to laugh, not exactly fighting him on it, but she could see that he wanted some sort of rough housing.

The bedroom was a fair size, hosing a queen sized bed, a vanity table and a closet that was nearly overflowing with clothing. Apparently a bit of a pack rat when it came to clothing, she still had clothes that were in style in the 1960's hiding some where in her closet. She gave him a sort of wicked grin crossed her lips a moment, and she was reduced to giggles as she began to struggle from his arms. Unless he had a tight grip, and lots of strenght he couldn't contain her.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 201211:27am
Sawyer was a strong guy but she wiggled free likely. "Oh I see, cheating are ya? Using those super powers you have there?" Sawyer was playing with her. "You know that I'm no regular lad" Sawyer would start to demonstrate, "look at this, I can pop my jaw." Sawyer would then get his jaw to make a grinding popping noise, "Got this when a man who wanted his money back hit me with his four-way." Sawyer had been a tough kid his whole life, she might have the upper hand, but you couldn't tell. "C'mon blondie."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 12 201211:32am
"Super powers are for super heroes. I'm not one of those." She laughed a bit as she moved a few paces from him, as his jaw started to pop, "Ohhh scary." she grinned, "It'll gross anyone out with good hearing." she teased to his popping jaw.

It had been a while since she play fought with anyone, she didn't want to hurt him so she went a little easy on him. "Blondie? Blondie?" she grinned moving closer to him in a few blinks, okay so perhaps she wouldn't use all her strenght but speed was another story

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 201211:54am
"Yeah Blondie! You look like scarecrow almost!" Sawyer was sure that even with her Vampire prowess he'd be able to keep up, he'd even get a little cocky and close his eyes. "C'mon I can take you blinded!" Sawyer was going to be gentle with her until she gave him reason not to be. "My jaw is the result of being a street kid for a long time, something I feel like we have in common."

The vampiress perked a brow, she was stronger than the average mortal, however she wasn't as strong as vampires who had the potence discipline. A he closed his eyes she grabbed his wrists pushing him forwards, "Yes You're I guess we could be considered a street rats." she pushed him back if sucessful he'd land on the bed

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 201212:21pm
Sawyer would flop onto the bed, "Nothing wrong with being street rat, right?" Sawyer would look up at the beautiful woman standing aside the bed... "You know what happens when two street rats get in the same room right?" Sawyer would say with confidence, "They make a mess." Sawyer was believing this woman to be something more than his average fling... he would look at her and smile genuinely just before she'd do what she was going to do.

March 12 201212:35pm
Outside the room Spook the tom cat yowled loudly, announcing that it was till in the living room, and still looking for more fish. Carmen's face cracked a grin, actually slightly happy for the interruption as she really hadn't figured out where else she was going to go with this playfighting. It didn't come easy to her any more. "Well it seems that cat won't give the rat's a break." she leaned down and kissed him a moment. As she withdrew she smiled a little, "have you ordered that pizza yet?" then the would turn as the cat yowled once more. "Yes Spook...I'm coming."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 12 201212:42pm
Sawyer would be deflated, "damn cat..." he'd say under his breath... "I know you hear that Rose!" Sawyer would laugh and get up to find his phone and order his pizza. "What toppings smell the best to you?" He wanted to get something that pleased her smelling senses. "I wonder if I'll tasted like what I eat... Will I?" he'd say to Rose who was on the other side of the apartment by now likely. Rose was making his life that much better and he wanted to do something nice for her, so he ordered some flowers, lilies. He liked that she liked them. He would order the pizza as soon as she answered his question.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 13 20126:22am
Her laughter could be heard from the kitchen, she didn`t particularly care what he ordered himself for dinner, it all smelled the same to her, good. "Order whatever you like." she called from the kitchen as she fetched the Tom cat with the missing ear some more fish. "And the age old addage, you are what you eat isn't true in this situation." she replied to his question.

When Sawyer came out of the bedroom he'd see Carmen standing with the large tom, the tom standing up on it's hind legs like a meer kat again, gentle taking bits of fish from her fingers.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 13 20126:42am
Sawyer would order a large pizza with Sausage, Onion, Pineapple, and Pepperoni. He was so hungry, he probably wouldn't eat it all, but it wasn't a burden to just take it home at some point either... "Well I just thought I would ask of course, being gentleman as you know me to be." Sawyer would wink at her. "We should start that movie while we wait on the pizza..." Sawyer would walk up to the cat eating the bites... "Are you joining us for dinner Spook?" he would look down at the cat and laugh.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 13 20127:09am
She looked to him smirking slightly, "Mhhhhmmmm." she said as the cat licked at her fingers. "Okay spook you've had your share save some for creeper." she told the cat, gently shooing it away. She looked up to Sawyer, "Creeper is the other cat that hangs around, she's all white." then she seemed to laugh, "I just clued into the fact that Spook is all black and creeper is white...perhaps I got their names mixed up."

She would move over to the couch and shrug her shoulders, "I it doesn't matter to me." she smiled, "you choose."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 13 20126:49pm
Sawyer would walk over to the TV and DVD player and look to see what he could do to get the movie started... "And... Play..." he would start the movie and go sit with Rose with his arm around her, if she would allow it, and kiss her neck lightly. "Hope this movie is good, or at least easy to make fun of!" Sawyer was excited, he was with Rose and pizza was on the way. Sawyer couldn't think of anything else he'd rather be doing... except maybe fighting... who knows maybe she'd put up a good fight some day, he would laugh to himself.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 13 20127:14pm
The vampiress watched a few moments with bright blue eyes, her eyes drifted to the window briefly before Sawyer joined her on the couch. She laughed lightly as his lips brushed her neck, "Isn't my skin cold?" she asked something that she had been wondering for a little while. She couldn't feel her own temperature really, she didn't feel cold. She asked because she could remember Kash's skin being cold to the touch when she was mortal.
Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 13 20127:24pm
Sawyer laughed at her a little. "It's no colder than that of any woman's feet." He would remember his little sister and him sharing a bunk when they were much younger and her feet would get incredibly cold... and yet Rose's skin was not as cold. It was more like walking in from the cold and hugging someone who was in their PJ's. "I like the feel of you, it's different, and it's a good different." He was sincere, the would kiss her neck a few more times. "Cooling to the touch..."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 13 20128:00pm
Carmen couldn't help but throw her head back and laugh to his first words, she found it rather hilarious being compared to cold feet. She slightly disblieved that he liked the feeling, she had so often heard it said that the skin of a vampire was deathly cold. Deathly cold didn't sound pleasant.

"Well I'm glad you like it." she murmured to him and then very gently pushed him away, "Your pizza should be here soon..." she could smell his blood being so close to him.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 13 20128:14pm
Sawyer was worried what he was doing would make her uncomfortable, "Would you like to eat now and I can eat in a bit?" Sawyer wondered if that was the best course of action. "I don't mind if you don't" Sawyer was casual about it making himself better about it. "No big deal to me" he would reveal his neck to her... "You may have to get the pizza though when it gets here."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 13 20128:27pm
She looked to his neck and was very tempted to, it was apparent by the expression that was on herwould face. However she shook her head, "No I can wait." she murmured softly, almost as if were embarrassed. "I can't imagine it will be much longer." she gave him a small smile, to show that she wasn't uncomfortable, just needed some getting used to.

"Sawyer it's been along time since I've let someone so close to me," she admitted to him, he had been honest with her earlier and she wanted to do the same now. "and I don't mean physically, but I'm sure you know that." she ran a hand through her hair, "So if I'm odd chop it up to rusty social skills, not discomfort."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 13 20128:37pm
Sawyer was no longer worried about it after what she had said... "Well good, let me know if you're ever uncomfortable?" Sawyer would ask and hope she'd understand he wanted her to be able to do that. "I think I hear the pizza guy." sounds of someone shuffling down the hall gave away that it might be there. "I'll grab my money and pay, gimme a sec to eat and then we'll make sure you get a lovely dose of Sawyer Slurpee." He would get up when the knock at the door came and would pay for and get the pizza and sit down to eat. "So before I eat, might I ask what doesn't allow you to eat food?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 13 20128:56pm
The vampire nodded her head, "Oh trust me, I'll let you know." She doubted that he could make her truly uncomfortable but he would know if he did. As he got up she perked a brow to the words sawyer slurpee, and just shook her head laughing lightly. "Interesting choice of words." She got to her feet and headed into the kitchen while he paid for the pizza, when he returned she was back in her seat and a beer was opened on the table for him.

When he asked that question her face went almost blank, "I don't actually know." She frowned, "I-I tried to eat something once when I was new." the frown deepened, "I couldn't handle the drink blood...even from Kash. I went to a diner and ordered a hamburger...." her nose wrinkled a bit, "I was sick for a while after...."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 13 20129:06pm
Sawyer was facinated by Rose, maybe that's why he wanted to stick around so badly... "That's interesting... well if I ever turn into a vampire I'll be sure to figure out some way to eat my pizza!" Sawyer would take a bite of his 3rd piece of pizza in just a few minutes, he was getting full. "Ugh... okay I'm done." Sawyer would look at Rose... "Ready?" Sawyer knew she was hungry... "I know you're hungry..."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 14 20125:55am
The vmapiress shook her head, "Well I have no immediate plans to embrace you, so don't worry about your pizza." she shifted on the couch as the scent of the pizza hit her nose, and she had to admit that it smelled good. Carmen shifted herself directing her attention to the movie she had rented, not even sure what one she got, man like apes lumbered around the screen and there seemed to be some sort of battle going on. His full groan made her look from the TV back to him, "You'll end up with indigestion, you ate so quickly." was it a scold, or just a comment it was hard to tell.

She wasn't used to victims who were so willing, it felt a little bit strange to her but she nodded her head. "Yes I am." she was still young enough that nightly feedings were required. Her attention was no fully on him, "But the question is are you ready....and are you sure."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 14 20127:36am
"Embrace?" Sawyer would say in obvious confusion... "What is that?" Sawyer would lean back with a full stomach, he would stare into the TV until she would get back to him about what Embracing was... "Is that part of drinking my blood? I don't know what it is... You should have some Bloodwine though!" Sawyer would go into her kitchen..."Where are your wine glasses?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 14 20128:47am
She realized she should have used regular terminology, rather than the word that vampires used for it. "Embrace isn't when we drink from a mortal, it's when a new vampire is created." she replied. As he got up talking about bloodwine, she looked mildly confused wondering if he had suddenly gotten cold feet about being bitten. "I don't have any wine glasses, but the cupboard by the sink you'll find glasses."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 14 20128:50am
Sawyer would make his way to the sink and use that as a reference point to the glasses, "Ah! Found um!" He would pop the seal and poor her a glass. "That's strange you guys call it embrace, I thought you were going to hug me to death." he would laugh. "Let's have a drink and then you can have something to eat." by now Sawyer believed the idea of her drinking out of him was kosher. "Will I be tired or anything afterwards?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 14 20129:07am
The vampiress sighed softly as a soft mewling sound was heard, then through the open window that lead to the fire escape a small entirely white cat hopped through the window. This little thing was a great contrast to Spook, small fluffy and white. "You're late creeper." she announced to the cat, yes she talked to the animals.

"Whatever works for you." she replied, "And you might feel a bit tired."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 14 20129:13am
Sawyer would hand her the drink and pop open one of his beers, "To you Rose, a beautiful and incredibly sweet lass!" he would boast for his toast. He would hold out his beer to ting with hers and be ready to down the whole thing in preparation for her drinking him. "Let's do this!"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 15 20127:12am
Carmen accepted the glass of bloodwine from him, perking a brow tot he toast he made, "You say that now, wait a bit." she murmured as she clinked her glass gently against his. As he drank his beer she took a sip of the bloodwine, wrinkling her nose just slightly to the taste. She didn't mind the taste is just tasted strange because she really hadn't consumed anything but blood for quite sometime.

As he said lets do this she nodded her head, "Alright." then she scooted closer to him on the couch.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 15 201211:21pm
Sawyer could feel his nerves coming on so he would take a deep breath and look at his friend and wonder what would come next... is it like sex? Do you smoke a cigarette and tell 'em you'll catch em later? He wasn't sure what to think, but he had committed to this, and if there was to be more down the road he would have to be okay with this... she was so new to him, but he was in complete awe in her presence...

He was ready, and he was going to go from an innocent human to one of the few who actually knew vampires lived and were real. He was there, in the now in what felt like a monumental moment for him, but was such a normal occurrence for her. He would calm down internally so that maybe she would not experience his panicked blood... He was ready though...

He would lean back on the couch, hoping he would see the ceiling in a few moments still...
Carmen (played by nikina)

March 16 20126:17am
The girl had forgotten about the arrival of the small white cat, her meal was before her so other things were pushed from her mind. Carmen could feel his nervousness as she drew closer to him, leaning in she placed a soft kiss on his mouth before smiling gently to him. "Relax." she murmured to him as he leaned his head back on the couch. Then as he stared at the ceiling she leaned into his neck, kissing it softly before her fangs pierced the flesh. As his blood hit her tongue a low contented sound emitted from her before she started to drink.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 16 20126:34am
Sawyer felt the bite... but not as much as most would think... he began to feel himself... melt... he... didn't even care... it felt good... he was lulled into a sort of... relaxation.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 16 20126:45am
Carmen couldn't help but smile softly into his neck as she felt the mortal go limp. She drew the blood from his neck only a few more moments, not wanting to take too much. As she withdrew her tongue flickered over the wound, causing it to close. A small mark would still be visible but it wasn't obvious as to what it was.

Sitting up straight she licked the remaining blood from her lips, "Sawyer?" it was a questioning tone, she wondered how he felt now. Typically she didn't stick around long enough to observe how the victim felt.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 16 20127:22am
Sawyer would feel... afloat in a see off clouds... Sawyer would feel her pull away... "Keep going..." he would barely get out... "It... feels... great... lass... Rose... babe..." he felt unlike anything he'd ever felt... it was like Death himself could knock at the door and Sawyer would be so apathetic he wouldn't even flinch... "Man... who cares right?" Sawyer would talk to himself... "Damn babe..." he would start to drift back in the right direction... "That's crazy... I'm exhausted now... will that fade?"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 16 20127:29am
A small smirk came to Carmen's face as Sawyer talked, the words sounded oddly familiar for she had said similar ones to Kash after her first bite. A little laugh even came from the vampriess, as he questioned her.

"It should, in time if you choose to be bitten again." was her reply, but she had a feeling that he was going to want to be bitten again.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 16 20127:34am
Sawyer was tired, but on his way back to reality... "That was fun, did you get enough to drink?" Sawyer imagined her likely to drink someone dry when she wasn't holding back. "I just don't want to be like Chinese food..." he would wait for her to laugh. "Either way I'm tired, I hope that I get some of my energy back because I'm hard as a rock..." Sawyer had realized he said that out loud... likely due to the fact he was still felling high... "-Pressed to go out on the the town with you!"

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 16 20127:46am
Carmen nodded her head, "Yes I had more than enough to drink." She truthfully had taken just what she needed. She was finding his company amusing, and enjoyable, if she took to much all that would be moot."Like Chinese food?" she didn't quite get the joke, so she didn't laugh.

To his next words she laughed lightly, "ahhhh ready to rock then?" she grinned a moment.

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 16 20127:55am
"Chinese food, you're hungry thirty minutes later." he would have a chuckle. "Yeah! Let's do this!" He was ready... though he honestly couldn't tell if she meant sex or going out... "What did you have in mind?" he would casually ask her... "I'm thinking of going all out!" Sawyer was feeling good, he got up and grabbed a beer and downed it in seconds... he was in a very good mood and felt his energy rushing back like a hardcore second wind.

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 16 201210:11am
Even after Sawyer had explained it she still didn't fully understand, but that's because she really didn't eat much Chinese food, well truthfully none at all. "Don't worry the only way I'll be hungry is if I have to....well exercise any power." She assured him. She would get to her feet at the small yowling sound that came from creeper the white cat. "Just let me feed creeper...then we can hit the town." she gave him a grin before heading to the kitchen calling the the cat. "kittykittykitty." and the small white cat followed her mewing.

"Any ideas on what to do?" she asked from the kitchen

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 16 201210:45am
Sawyer would jump up feeling... new... "Okay that's great, I'll just use the bathroom and then we can head out?" Sawyer would point his way to the door as he walked to the bathroom...

He would walk into the bathroom and shut the door and lock it. He did ever since he was walked in on by his crazy cousin. He would look in the mirror to see if there was a wound, his only reference was from terrible thriller movies that always showed bleeding dots on the sides of victim's necks... He was ecstatic to see that there was a very small virtually unnoticeable scar... "Interesting..." he would say softly looking his neck over.

He would walk over to the toilet and sit down... he was a gentleman after all, though he looked over the bathroom and it looked like it hadn't been used in such a long time... he was thinking about his life with a vampire... he was kind of hopeful for it... though he would take it slow, he'd had a past of fucking and running that usually lead to bad shit. He was ready to maybe give this a go, how often do you meet a sexy ass vampire who wants to let you live, fuck your brains out, and be around with you? He thought. Times like these do not come often to the Irishman he'd become.

He would stand up and flush the toilet. It was funny to him the way the way toilet water flushed... it was like it disappeared and never was likely to come back... though he knew he probably over his short stay in 'The States' he'd probably drank someone's piss... it was a function of modern life... He would wash his hands and slap some cold water on his face to feel the sensation more than he had in some time... man that stuff she did to him was strong. He hadn't felt so strong and yet aware in all his life... time to get into a fight he would think, but he wasn't sure what good it would do unless he was out numbered... so he thought for a moment... if I can't fight... what can I do?

Sawyer would walk out the door of the bathroom and walk right up to Rose and kiss her forehead, "Ready when you are Rose." he would let go and walk past her to collect his jacket and phone... he would call a couple places.

Sawyer would start his calls with the local boxing gym to see if there was any open matches for the night... there was, he would accept the first card...

Sawyer continue his calls, he would get a hold of the best club in town, nothing wrong with a little dancing, and he would get a VIP booth.

Sawyer would then finish his calls with a local auto shop that he frequented... he would go get his car that he stored there.

"Okay Rose, sorry if I kept you waiting, I just wanted to clear a couple things."

Carmen (played by nikina)

March 16 201210:55am
The girl nodded as he said he needed the bathroom, she was now thankful that there was a roll of toilet paper in there, she had forgotten to get some while she was out, but then again why would she remember toilet paper, it wasn't like she used it. "mhhh hmm do whatever you need to do." she called to him from the kitchen.

While he was gone she cut up the remainder of the fish and began feeding it to small white cat, the other cat ventured into the kitchen poking around looking for more, "Don't be a glutton Spook." she scolded the large black Tom cat, and scooped him up. The animal didn't struggle with her, but it was clear he was only tolerating the attention. As Sawyer entered the kitchen Spook jumped down and sauntered out of the room in catly fashion. She smiled to him gently as he kissed her forehead, "alright just gotta grab my bag...and perhaps a sweater." she of course didn't need the sweater, it was mearly for appearances.

By the time he was done on the phone she had already slipped her boots on, gotten her bag of tricks, and a black sweater. "No problem...All a vampire has is time."

Sawyer Wise (played by Jetticus)

March 16 201211:26am
Sawyer liked the way she answered, he was also glad that she had time. "Well if we're going to get you out there and have a great night, we need to go now." They would make their way out of her neighborhood to the auto-shop. He would have her wait outside while he walked in to get the keys and car... he would take a few minutes, "What do you mean it's not ready, Frankie just told me five minutes it was ready!!!" he would yell, "This is bullshit Charlie... Gimme your keys... YES YOUR FECKIN' KEYS!" He would yell again... "Thank You!"

The garage door would open up and a large Cadillac would roll out. He would pull up to her and have her get in(if she would) and then they would drive off. He would take her down to the Gym. "I know this seems like a weird place to start a night, but trust me, there is no place I'd rather be. I hope in a little bit you're going to feel the same." He was still a little angry about his car, but hey the caddy was nice after all... "Let's head in, I'll get you a seat. Really close." He wanted her to see what was about to happen. He would grab a bag from the backseat of the car. A bright green glove would be sticking out of it.

They would make their way inside(if she came) and when they got to the ring side he would sit her in the front seat... the house was packed. People yelling and screaming getting ready for a fight... The energy in the room was immense and no one would care about anyone they wanted to see blood. "I'll be back in about fifteen okay Rose?" He would kiss her softly and smirk as he ran into the locker room.

Sawyer would make his way into the locker room and have the official slip his wraps and gloves on... he was ready to go, he wasn't going to let the man walk out of the ring, he was going to knock his head off and hoist it as a trophy... These were scary thoughts, but when you're out there these are cake in comparison...

An announcer would come up and announce one fighter, "Ladies and Gentlemen, thank you for coming to Rollo's Gym! ARE YOU READY TO SEE MEN BEAT EACH OTHER TO A PULP? *Crowd would roar* ARE YOU READY TO SEE MENS' PIECES BE SCRAPED OFF THE FLOOR!?*Crowd would roar again* ARE YOU READY TO SEE SOMETHING VIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLLLLLLLLLLLEEEEEEEEEEEEEENNNNNNNNNNTTT!? *The Crowd would go berserk.* IN THIS CORNER FIGHTING OUT OF OUR VERY OWN BOSTON AND ROLLO'S GYM, UNDEFEATED IN HIS PROFESSIONAL CAREER WITH A RECORD 0F 17-0 JEREMIAH THE DEVIL DAVIDSON!!!!! *CROWD IS ON THEIR FEET SCREAMING UNCONTROLLABLY*

AND IN THIS CORNER A MAN UNKNOWN TO US ALL BUT A MAN WITH DETERMINATION, FROM THE GREAT LAND OF GREEN EYES, SAWYER "TOM CAT" WISE!! *The crowd is not as quite enthused with the challenger*

The light would shine on Sawyer standing in one corner with green trucks and gloves, he would look down and smile at Rose.

The referee would come out and get them to touch gloves go back to their respective corners and then the bell would DING...
((haha you broke the box))

She perked a brow to his words, "I see...you just wanna take me out so you can show me off." The girl began to laugh lightly as she put the cat`s outside and locked the window to the fire escape, picked up the money she had tried to return to him, and stuffed it into her bag. Then when they left she locked up, it took her a moment because there were 2 dead bolts and a lock in the knob itself, each with a different key. "can't be too careful." she shrugged off any questions he might have had.

While he was in the garage she leaned up against a wall outside picking dirt from under her nails, the girl was rather neurotic about her appearance, almost high maintenance in that aspect. As his yells hit her ears she rolled her eyes, "He doesn't need to yell." she murmured to herself before the caddy rolled out. Then she clamored into the car, barely taking a second glance at it cars were never her thing, they got her from point a to point b.

Once they were at the gym she didn't really say anything, she had seen him scrap the first night they had met so she assumed he was going to either fight or watch one. Her assumption was correct as he kissed her and disappeared. The girl pushed and her way to a front seat giving anyone who wouldn't let her pass a withering look, something she had accomplished in her solitary years.

As the announcer started up she got a seat in the corner Sawyer was in. A laugh emitted from the vampire when the announcer used the name she had given Sawyer the night that they met. When Sawyer smiled to her from the ring she grinned a bit, "you gonna fight or stare at me?" she knowingly that the chances of him hearing were minimal as the bell rang at the same time
Sawyer would come out of his corner and begin trading shots with The Devil. Sawyer was having fun, it was all that too apparent and it was pissing off The Devil. The Devil would begin to swing wildly and miss almost every shot, and the ones that would connect would be light at best. Sawyer would back up as The Devil came at him and smirk. He would lure The Devil into the corner and switch him into it. Sawyer would proceed to completely obliterate the one known as The Devil. He would dismantle his guard hitting where he wasn't blocking harder than most could. Sawyer would step back and let The Devil out the corner, "Well Fucko, it's night night time." Sawyer would say in his usual cocky manner. Sawyer would step into his next punch and connect perfectly with the jaw of The Devil, nearly shattering it. Sending blood into the crowd... not in the direction of Rose necessarily, but into the crowd.

The ref would call the count, but The Devil was completely out...
"1... 2... 3... 4... 5... 6... 7... 8... 9... 10...!" The ref would call the fight and raise the hand of Sawyer. The announcer would step into the ring and call the fight. "THE WINNER IS IN A MASSIVE UPSET SAWYER "TOM CAT" WISE!" Sawyer would enjoy the win... he would go find Rose, collect their winning and be on their way... he knew after something like this, they would likely be followed... that was the plan.
The vampire Rose watched the fight with her big blue eyes flickering between the two men with each shot that was traded. She couldn't help but giggle lightly as the devil seemed to be getting irritated with the Irish man, who might as well had fairy feet he seemed to move so quickly and easily out of his opponent's way.

As the fight progressed a little smile was worn on her face, she had seen her share of fights over the years. Not going out of her way to see them, but never turning away from one. Sawyer's words rang through the noxious noise that was the crowd, they drew a laugh from her.

By the time Sawyer found her she was leaning up against the wall of the gym towards the back of the room. "Nicely done." she said with a wicked grin, which was promptly followed by a deep kiss before she followed him to collect his winnings.

"So my Tom Cat, what now?" she grinned broadly to him as they headed out to the caddy
"Let's get out to the parking lot, I'll show you." Sawyer had already seen a few 'tough guys' following him. "The real fun starts outside." He would make his way to the doors with his equipment and winnings. "We just pocketed five grand, so there's that" he would lift the bills to show her, "nothing wrong with that at all." Sawyer had been so undervalued that the odds were 1 to 10 against him. "Let me just grab the bookie outside" the little bastard snuck out the back so he wouldn't have had to pay up. "HEY FUCKO!" Sawyer would say as they got out to see the bookie. His name was Farvo. "Hey you little Russian bastard, do I need to knock your head off?" Sawyer was just being tough so the guy would cough it up. "Give me my winnings."

Farvo would stop dead in his tracks when he heard Sawyer. "Oh, yeah... I was just getting the money out of my car... that's all my friend."

"Why is it that I doubt that Farvo?" Sawyer would say as they got up to him and his car.

"I don't know my friend, that was some fight, how do I know it wasn't staged?"

Sawyer would get pissed at this notion because he was a proud Irishman, "Do you think that Farvo? Do you think that a real Irishman would cheat?"

Farvo would begin to smile for some reason, "Well I don't know, that's a lot of money, forty thousand dollars is nothing to shake a stick at."

Sawyer had heard the big men walk up behind them, keeping their distance, but not as much as he might like. "Hey boys, do we have a problem?"

The men would say nothing.

Farvo would turn to get into the car, "I think I can leave the money in my car, and leave in it." Farvo would have a snicker.

Sawyer would look over to Rose, "Well, should we let him drive off with all of that money?"
The young vampire nodded to him, "Very well." she didn't need to look behind her to know that they were being followed, her baby blues were fixated on Sawyer she got a feeling that he had counted something like this to happen. As he started talking about money she kept track of the sums in her head, out of sheer habit. "nope not in the slightest." she replied to his words and stuffed her hands into the pocket of her blue jeans as they crossed to the bookie. While Sawyer was conferring with the bookie she was mentally sizing up the men who had followed him, only smirking slightly when Sawyer got rowed up about being accused of cheating. She eyes flickered to the Bookie as he talked about the sum of the money, Her face took on a rather ugly expression, Kash had once told her that she got a look that could singe ball hairs when she was angry, right now she was trying her best to emulate this.

As the bookie turned to the car Carmen shook her head, "No my dear, you worked hard for your money, and it's yours rightfully." her eyes didn't leave the bookie as she spoke, and her voice had taken a more truer tone for her age. She certainly didn't sound like a sixteen year old, at that moment she sounded closer a woman in her late thirties. All the while she had been thinking on which of her abilities would be useful in this situation, because surely it was about to go south. The easiest was obviously animalism, with her decision made she began to send out her silent call to the insects who did a vampire's bidding.

As she started there was no change in her appearance, she only looked from the bookie to Sawyer and grinned broadly her chompers, as he called them, shining pearly white. For all her typical prettiness, she could look menacing when she chose so
Sawyer would look down at Rose, seeing she was up to something he would smile back at her. "Should I leave this to you darling? I'm tired from my fight, which I won... in the first round... with a knock out..." He would look at the Farvo with a grimacing look... "Do I need a repeat performance?"

Farvo would laugh, "What is this featherweight going to do to me? Boys if you would please help Mr. Sawyer and his associate back into the alley and... pay them handsomely... " Farvo would at this point open the car door...

"I don't think so sir..." Sawyer would say and then look to Rose...
"Oh well...only if you wish me to have all the fun." was the reply that the young vampire gave her companion. As the bookie began to laugh beetles started crawling up from holes in the ground, holes in the building, almost literally coming out of the wood work. As the bookie told the thugs to take care of them the beatles were already advancing on the group, including the bookie.

When Sawyer looked back to Rose she was still wearing that creepy grin, Then a scream would tear from one of them men, a beetle had crawled up it's pant leg and began to burrow into the mans skin. Carmen began to laugh, her monstrous, and sadistic side shining through. "Oh this could be such fun." she hadn't really engaged any like this in so long, and the stretching of her powers felt good. Once again she began to call something forth, around the small group the air seemed to begin to change, something was going to happen.
The two men were attempting to get the one beetle off of the one of them when the pile began to form the one without a beetle on him began to run like a mother fucker. He might get away if Rose let's him. Sawyer would just stand still knowing that this was likely her doing, he was strangely entertained by it all... it was a little scary altogether, but it wasn't at the same time.

Farvo would see the scariest thing he'd ever seen he would shake in terror, he would get into his car and start it and try to drive away... the tires were flat... problem with being a bookie... everyone hates you... he would get out and run like crazy grabbing the money and trying to get away...

"Nice show babe, should I chase em? Or do you have this?"
Carmen let the beetles do their job, the thugs were delt with in her opinion as the beetles would consume the flesh if allowed. She would only stop them if Sawyer showed some sign of pity or humanity towards the thugs who were initially planning to beat them to a pulp. She had no words for Sawyer for as he spoke a spectral wolf materialized from apparently nothing. The wolf would set upon the bookie, this spectral being was just as real and as savage as a real wolf cold be. It lunged at the bookie and dragged him to the ground by his wrist, then it dissipated before their very eyes.

"Now you can deal with this, my wolf didn't kill him" she murmured softly to him, her tone indicated that she was tired.
