She stalked through the halls like the predator she was, eyes focused on the screen of her ridiculously expensive, might-as-well-be-a-tiny-laptop phone as she typed at lightning speed. The unlit cigarette in her mouth jiggled as she absently worried at the end of it with her teeth, fangs scraping across her bottom lip. The text she was typing out was a full-page report on her first day; she'd never minded their demand that she report in at least once a day, particularly once cell phones came along. She was surprisingly adaptable for someone just under 300 years old.
Her nostrils flared as she pressed "send." Vampire, vampire, full of ash, drink too much blood and die at last. She hummed pleasantly, smiling a smile that didn't match those cruel eyes. She flipped the cell phone closed and pocketed it, closing her eyes for a long moment. Breath in. Breath out... When her eyes opened, they were no longer the cruel hunter's eyes, tinged with crimson, and her smile was faint and soft. There was a girl watching the vampire--her name was Marie, if Avery recalled correctly. A nice, simple name with a somewhat unusual spelling. A French spelling. For that alone she liked her.
"Hey, you alright? You look a bit out of it," she murmured, stopping to touch her shoulder and smile at her, a smile that was eaasy to believe. She actually rather liked humans, in her own way. Maybe even more than vampires. It was just hard to tell most of the time, since she liked to play around too.
