"So you admit you steal?" Bella chuckled as she watched Dakoda and Robbie. What was Robbie even doing while he was off with the dead? "Hey Robbie, if you're so out of it, what were you doing while you were off slowly transforming into an old undusted antique?" Bella asked. Robbie wasn't usually one to just disappear as he had in recent months... Could she get an answer out of him? Just so she could know he was at least being safe while gone? Probably not, but she had to try. With vampires and werewolves inhabiting the forest, lord knew what kind of trouble anyone could get into.

"I wish i had been, it's nice to meet you Mykie," The blonde muttered in response, as she looked around the store and it's surroundings, hoping no one overheard the conversation or could overhear it. "The humans believe it to be either caused by an animal of some sorts or a killer on the loose, that's why they're holding the Halloween fair around this time," Lucina responded as she recalled the various Halloween decorations already set up around town. Although Lucina had gathered that Mykie didn't seem to pose as much of a threat, she still stayed a bit wary, especially due to the recent events. We could never know if it was a simple loner passing by, there have been too many murders for that, She thought quietly as she patiently waited for a response from the vampire in front of her.

The man then grabbed his hat and holstered his gun as he walked out of the cabin, best to check out the area where the body was for any traces of vampires or werewolves in and outside of his pack. Sighing, the ranger debated on walking or going on his four-wheeler, which he then decided on his four-wheeler because he could then travel faster with less suspicion than him just being in really great shape.

As he got into the vehicle, he turned the key and pulled away from the scattered cabins and onto a dirt road. He tried to focus on scenting the air, but the most he could get was his packs scent and a very faint distance scent of a passing wolf, which he knew he'd have to track down to make sure they weren't the ones responsible for this all. The more he traveled, the ranger then paused as he could see and hear a faint shape just between the trees.

Pulling over, he then got out of his jeep and made sure his shirt was tucked into his pants before walking over towards the thing, which as he got closer, he figured it was just a human as he didn't find any trace of vampire or werewolf. Clearing his throat, he then tucked under a branch, making sure to make some loud noises so he wouldn't completely spook the male in front of him. "Late morning run, I see," he said with a chuckle as he stepped onto the smaller path.

"You've been sick, so makes sense that you're a bit rusty, he said casually as he kept his arm around his best friend's shoulders as they continued their way down the street. When he heard Arabella's question, he just chuckled and turned Robbie in her direction. "Apparently he was up in bed sick, mom had him on lockdown."

The scout then chuckled as he finally lifted his arm off the other's shoulder before reaching into his pocket to pull out some chapstick. As he applied some, he then glanced down at the smaller man and did a small tisk, "your lips are so chapped, Robster," he said in astonishment before handing over his chapstick after recapping it, "here, it's strawberry flavored, cherry just doesn't taste as good as strawberry, but works all the same," he chuckled as he then placed the chapstick stick in his friends hands.

Ironically, the reaction of him placing the money in the tip jar caused the vampire to smile, his first actually non forced smile as he nodded his head and pulled out his wallet again and took out another hundred before looking back at the werewolf in front of him. The small smile still on his face as he then nodded in agreement, "you're right, I don't have to," he said in a bit of a softer voice than he had before as he placed the other hundred into the tip jar.

In all honesty, the coven member didn't quite know why he did the thing he did. Was it was almost as a way to say thank you without saying it? Or was it more because the look on Aleks face reminded him of his beloved's whenever the vampire would do something special or romantic for her out of the blue. His smile faltered at that thought, a small sad faraway look in his eyes before he returned to his previous neutral expression. "Thank you, Mr. Aleksandr," he said as he lifted his roses up before turning and starting to walk out before pausing and turning around, "don't forget to give me a call about the flower deliveries."

As she continued to look around, she heard a door open behind her but she was too focused trying to find someone to talk with, but when the voice sounded and a man walked past her, she brought her attention to him and instantly picked up her clueless act. She then followed him towards the bar and sat on a barstool, her suitcase next to her. When he had asked the question, she let out a small giggled laugh and nodded her head.

"Yeah, is it that obvious?" she laughed as she watched him, curious about the dark glasses that was used as the cups of the bar. She had never seen anything but clear glasses and copper cups used in bars and this had her already intrigued. "by any chance do you know where a motel or hotel is? Or just somewhere I could stay."

Robbie Sawyer | cismale | 19 | vampire (citizen; newly turned) | location; downtown street + boutique | tags: friend group, Lucina Irvine, Mykie Knowles

Robbie let Dakota keep his arm around his shoulders- it felt comforting. He couldn't quite describe why it did but it did. It made him feel warm and happy after so long- but as Arabella made the comment and Dakota turned him to face her, that warmth diminished. "Yeah, I- I was on lockdown." He muttered, his heart skipping a nonexistent beat. "Must've been the flu."

As they continued walking, he looked up at Dakota when he removed his arm and applied the chapstick. When Dakota glanced over at him- at his lips- it made him feel nervous. When he was handed the chapstick, he tried to cover up how flustered he was by shoving Dakota and laughing, "What are you looking at my lips for, lover boy?"

He did put the chapstick on though, even though he hated strawberry. Turning back to the girls, he motioned to Arabella and answered a question she had asked earlier. "I do steal, I steal a lot, I stole this," he pulls out the packet of gum, unwrapping it as he did so "and I plan to steal again, regardless of what Sheriff White Knight over there thinks." Robbie popped a piece of gum into his mouth at the end of his rant, turning lightly on his heels and almost tripping. He felt wetness just below his nostrils and swept at it with his hand, looking down to see crimson. His nose was starting to bleed... that had been happening lately, whenever the urges kicked in. Suddenly he felt it again, like the world was spinning, almost like he could hear the heartbeats of his friends. It made him feel sick to his stomach, and as he glanced between his friends he noticed he didn't feel the bloodthirst for Arabella. Why was that?

Without trying to make anyone worried, he stopped and tried to cover the bottom of his face. His nose was bleeding pretty bad, and he looked around quickly before muttering. "Shoot, sorry, I'll... be right back. Using the bathroom."

Making a beeline for the closest store, he grabbed the doorknob and entered with haste. He tried not to get blood on the floor by keeping his jacket sleeve pressed against his nose as he approached the desk, a wave of embarrassment flooding over him. The woman standing behind the counter sort of reminded Robbie of his mother, which was the first thought that crossed his mind as he approached. He didn't really get a good look at the customer, but he briefly overheard the end of their conversation. '...a killer on the loose, that's why they're holding the Halloween fair around this time' They must be talking about the recent murders- he didn't really care.

"Um, excuse me? Sorry for interrupting- is there a bathroom I can use?" It felt awkward, being a boy in a boutique, in clad black surrounded by dresses of different colors and styles. He felt out of place, but something about both of the women felt off to him in a welcoming way. Almost like they shared something in common, but he couldn't figure out what. He felt his head spin again, and he shut his eyes tight for a moment. Was this a migraine? When he opened his eyes again, the blue color had shifted into shades of purple and red, the signs of a starved vampire. Of course, he didn't know that.

Aleks Avon | cismale | 23 | werewolf warrior | location; flower shop | tags: Donovan Van Stryker

Aleks felt his heart race as the vampire put another hundred into the tip jar. It wasn't the money that made Aleks grin in a genuinely sweet way, it was the softness in Donovan's voice as he spoke, the look in his eyes as he watched Aleks' reaction. Aleks watched Donovan walk to the door, and he nodded at the comment. "Of course. I won't forget, Mr. Van Stryker. Have a nice day." He rose a single hand, and as Donovan exited the store he let out a breath as if he had been holding it. He grabbed at his chest, leaning against the counter and laughing to himself before mumbling "Did that just happen? Is this real?" in Russian to himself. He ran a hand through his hair and blinked a few times before attempting to calculate what he was feeling. A thought was nagging at him, and he anxiously pulled at the collar of his shirt as he thought about it. Biting his lip nervously, he looked in the direction of the door before glancing downwards, a wave a shame flooding through him.

"Nyet-" he mumbled, letting out a short but nervous chuckle. He recognized his feelings, he had heard werewolves talk about it all the time. How they had instantly swooned, how they had felt a need to protect the person, a duty to... as if the stranger was the sun they revolved around. The feeling of warmth in their chest, like their body was electric. Had he imprinted on Donovan? A vampire? Oh god- what would Gabriel think? The pack?

He rubbed his face with his hands and let out a whimper. The pack didn't need to know.

Nikos Galen | cismale | 177 | vampire member | location; Nosferatu - local bar| tags: Rory Riddle

He glanced down at her suitcase as she asked, a smirk spreading across his lips. He took a sip from the cup as he listened, then let out a sharp breath of air in place of a laugh. Was she being this easy on purpose? "You could stay with me." he raised his eyebrows and let it sink in before he laughed, shaking his head. "I'm kidding. There is a bed and breakfast in town somewhere. Advertisement flyer things are next to the door. Probably has an address and everything." He took the glass to his lips again and downed the liquid in one go before sliding the glass under the counter. Leaning on his elbows, with the usual flirtatious turn of the head, he flashed a smile (which was not bloody) and did a quick look over of the woman in front of him. "We don't get so many pretty faces around here. Certainly not ones looking to stay for a while- what made you stop in Woodridge?"

Anton Romanko | cismale | 31 | werewolf medic | location; downtown | tags: Langsley Baines

Anton could only sigh and mutter in agreement with Langsley. He was right, after all- they don't need the publicity right now.
"But what if it doesn't cool down, what if the deaths just keep happening?" He finally let the worry show on his face, fully turning to face Langsley. "Gabriel is a good alpha and I trust his judgment, but sitting around patrolling the borders and hoping that it's not one of us dead next isn't doing anything." He tapped his cane anxiously on the ground, the hint of a growl in his voice. "If it isn't that loner then it's one of them, and I can't just sit around letting them wreck what peace we have left."

He felt like he knew how Langsley would respond, It's not your job to, but at the same time, it felt like it was. What if one of them died next? Anton felt responsible for the health of the pack, and if one of them died on his watch, he wouldn't know what to do. It felt right trying to get ahead of it.

Bella watched the whole ordeal between Robbie and Dakota, she was going to scold robbie for stealing when he put the peice of gum in his mouth. And she could smell the rest, blood? Robbie had excused himself, but bella had a feeling. "That boy" she muttered and followed after him, he had made his way into the boutique and Bella was in almost half a minute after him. Just to see robbie standing at the counter "Robbie?" She asked gently putting a hand on her friends back, did she have any tissue? No. Bella never had tissue on her. "Robbie, can you tell me what's happening? We can get you to someone". Bella didnt want to look him in the face, she didn't want to confirm her suspicions... Lucina could do it for her.

Before she could reply to lucina, the vampire could hear the door suddenly open. It was not a conversation to be had with a human around, even if they have assumed it to be an animal or a serial killer. Glancing at the boutique owner, she turned around to face the other customers with a gentle smile etched onto her lips coloured crimson by her favourite lipstick. They weren't humans like she assumed but fellow vampires. Mykie noticed the boy's sleeve pressed tightly onto his nose as it collected the flowing blood but instead of answering his question, which would be a waste of her breath since she hadn't a clue if the store had a bathroom, she shoved a manicured hand into her jacket pocket and pulled out a cream handkerchief. It was a habit that had remained with her for as long as she remembered; even longer than she had been turned.

Rubbing her thumb and pointer finger against the soft fabric, she reached her arm out to offer it to the boy, "take this, before your jacket becomes un-saveable." Furrowing her brows, Mykie was slightly concerned for this 'Robbie' as it looked like he was in some sort of pain. However, when the vampire opened his eyes, she scoffed, noticing the purplish red colour - the colour of a starving vampire. Closing the offered hand into a tight fist, she asked "what are you playing at?" astounded that he would allow himself to become this way, especially with the apparent recent murders.

The woman's reaction told Bella everything, She was right... Robbie was like her. "He doesn't know what he's been doing to himself," Bella winced as she tried to tell this woman what was happening. The short girl finally mustered the courage to look at Robbie's eyes, they weren't blue anymore. It pained Bella to see Robbie so starved. "Does anyone have something for him?" Bella never carried blood on her, but she knew the bar had blood... But Nikos' bar was too far, almost across town.No, no, no! Robbie could get hurt. But it didn't seem like Robbie was getting any better either. Bella decided to wait on Lucina to see if She could do anything, Just anything at all... 'Please have something...' Bella was almost chanting in her head, Would her friend be okay?

The blonde woman's head instantly darted to the entrance as she felt and saw two different things. Blood. A vampire. Possibly young? Is that Arabella? That must be her friend then? Something must be wrong, Quick and rapid thoughts flooded through her brain as she began to get up from the desk she was situated in. She watched as the male, seeing the color shift, her aura slightly shifting as worry began to pool. "Mykie please stop, he must be young. I'll take care of it from here," Lucina finally said in a hushed tone towards the loner, Lucina's thoughts orderly and collected. A warm smile graced her face as she started to walk towards Robbie. "Goodness you must be Arabella's friend yes? I can lead you to the bathroom if you'd like," Lucina stated gently while quickly sneaking a glance outside of the boutique's windows.

She could see a group of humans just outside from the direction where Robbie and Arabella had come from and that only increased her worry. She knew she had some blood bags lying in a mini-refrigerator in the back although she wasn't quite sure if Robbie would take what she would offer him, especially since he didn't seem to know anything. "Arabella sweetheart could you possibly run your way to the back for me? There might be some more tissues and whatnot to help your friend out," Lucina asked in a calm and kind tone as she pointed out the door behind the cashier desk. Quickly grabbing the one or two tissues remaining from the nearby tissue box on the cashier desk, she handed them over to Robbie hoping that they could help him temporarily. She knew this wouldn't be able to aid him with his hunger but if stopping the nosebleed could help out the poor soul Lucina would do the best she could.

Robbie rose his hand to take the handkerchief but quickly drew it back when Mykie closed her fist and asked him the loaded question. He stared at her in shock for a moment, clearly confused by the accusation. "What are you-" He was cut off by Arabella, and he lightly shook his head and looked between them. "I don't understand, I've been doing what to myself?" Lucina offered him the tissue and he took it, still unsure what was going on. He turned to Arabella, glancing at Lucina as he did so. "Is this... your mom?" He knew she never talked about her family, but Arabella clearly knew the woman personally, enough for her to know where stuff was in the boutique. Turning back to Lucina, he shut his eyes and motioned with his free hand. "I-I- yeah, I'd like to go to the bathroom to clean up, thank you."

He swallowed down the lump in his throat as he glanced at Arabella. Something was definitely off- there was something they weren't telling him, he could feel it.

"On it," Bella said as she made her way to the backroom. There were the tissues and mini-fridge Lucina always kept her blood bags in. "Tissues," Bella said sing-songy and she opened the fridge to see the blood bags as well. Pigs blood would be fine, it would keep Robbie sensible until the vampires could explain what was happening to him. Bella also had to find a way to explain why Lucina and she knew each other.

Not so easy... Could Lucina be a family friend? maybe, But what Bella was hoping would happen is she could just not have to lie to Robbie and keep her family history unheard of and kept secret. Jeez, it still hurt to think about. But Bella couldn't get preoccupied with her family's past now. Robbie was starved and needed the blood. "Lucina I got it!" Bella called as she walked out of the backroom with the supplies.
