Cold, Cold Water

[Evangeline Carter]

David's lip curled at the mention of 'feeding', his eyes lifting to the receding figure of the other human slayer, Sam, and then to the younger slayer, the girl, with whom he'd been making his exit. They could have, all of them, killed the pair, he was sure. Taken advantage.

He caught the look on the slaying girl's face, though. The lines and dimensions that somehow amounted to compassion. For only a second, he wondered how long she'd make it in this world if her heart grew soft so easily. The quaking of her slender frame in the cold of the night told him what he at least thought he needed. He was certain she wouldn't move against the injured vampire.

He expelled a disgruntled gust of air from his nose, looking down on Matt and Kyra -- mates? -- and then away. "Let's go." Before the girl became hypothermic. The last thing the man needed was sick, strange girl in his care.

Matt began explaining himself as David once more turned away, "Kyra, I had to come back to be sure you... were not killing them. I... I just had to come back Kyra. You're a friend and dangit I won't let my friends die. You need to feed... now!"

[Jade]

"Hi."
A woman stood behind them. She had the beauty to be a vampire but her skin was too tan, her smile showed no fangs. She had a hand on her hip and a lollipop in her other. She was dressed like a school girl and with her short height of only 5'4" might have passed for one. Her hair was long and a tawny color that seemed to have a life of it's own. Her eyes were a yellow green and held amusement. It was the eyes that destroyed the school girl image. There was too much knowledge in them.
"Aren't you two the cutest couple ever? Ohhhh......"
She fluttered her lashes at David. Her voice had a silent accent that was hard to place.
"You've got a gun. Now that's just downright sexy as hell. Isn't that sexy sweetie?"
She looked at MaryAnne.
"Why you're cold honey. You shouldn't be out this late. The monsters come out after dark."
She smiled, a slow smile that brought to mind a cat who had just been caught in the cream.
"Why don't you head across the rode to my club. We'll get you all nice and toasty and call someone for your car."
She pointed the the night club across the street. It was the only one in town and it was called Cat's Eyes. She moved closer to David and patted his arm.
"Go on. Drinks on the house. You two look like you could use it."
She moved away from them.
"You two wouldn't happen to have seen a friend of mine would you? She was supposed to meet me for a drink. Tall, looks mean as hell."

[Kyra]

She looked at Matt, her eyes glowed brightly.
"If I feed I won't stop we both know that. I won't be able to. I'm in too great a need."
She kept her hand pressed to the wound.
"I'd rather bleed to death."

[Cain]

Sam was no longer in sight of the others.
((OOC: especialy when you considere Krya had to move away to reach the house and they managed to show up on the scene to see her collapse.))
he'd only heard part of the vampires speach back at him while he had walked away, now after a few blocks he could see his car. He reached gently into his pocket and pulled out his car keys, humming to himself while he sorted through them.

"What a night, what a night, should have checked the joint out, but I'm really not in the mood now."

[DungeonMaster]

OOC Matt followed her, afraid to leave her too far out of sight for danger she'd go rogue on him.

"You... are truly an example to live by. Maybe... you could go to ground... and..." He struggled feebly to think of a way to help her. He smiled at her, reaching for her good hand, "May I hold your hand?" He asked his fairly newfound friend. he touched her hand softly and his fingers searched to lock with hers. "You'll make it through this Kyra... you will."

[Evangeline Carter]

David was -- no surprise -- shot for words. This newest addition's bubbling greeting tossed so many new colors into the melodramatic scene that he was forced to pause and adjust. There was really no appropriate response to the flamboyant character's verbal barrage, and so quickly had she come and moved on that David said nothing at all.

She was right, though. The girl was soaking. "I'd follow her advice, if I were you," he muttered. The slayer gave MariAnne a small, insistent push in the direction of the club, heat from his body making the natural transfer to hers through the slight contact. "--I don't know about your friend," he said over his shoulder to the overly friendly woman, "--but you might try the broad down that-a-way." His thumb jabbed the air in the direction of the alley way.

MariAnne's first reaction to this gaudy addition to the party was one of confusion. She seemed so out of place, but the stranger's offer of shelter and refreshment was more than welcome at the moment.

It didn't take much convincing on David's part to get MariAnne moving into the direction of the night club. She followed the stranger eagerly, thoughts of warmth and shelter somewhat easing the trembling of her anxious heart.

[Jade]

The woman turned her head and looked at where Kyra and Matt where.
"Shit....."
She looked back at David.
"Come on. Going to need help."
She took off running towards where Kyra was. She was quick and agile as she ran across the street and knelt down beside her friend. She nodded a greeting at Matt and touched Kyra's back. Quickly she took in an inventory of the wounds. This was bad.
"Kyra sweetie.....We need to get you off the street. Can you make it?"

[Kyra]

Kyra hissed at Jade, but didn't attack.
"So not a good time right now for you. You need to get out of here. Not kidding Jade."
Kyra could feel the need to feed. It was overwhelming. The poison in her system had been slowed by the lack of blood. But she would either need a heck of a lot of blood to get the energy to get rid of it or a healer and a heck of a lot of blood. Her eyes glowed an eerie violet.
"Matt you need to go for a healer, like now. Go find Marcus. He's nearby. I can't seem to reach him."
