Vladimir was out walking the streets at night, it was raining. He liked the rain, went out in it when ever he could. He wasn't looking for a fight, at the moment.
He didn't know why humans hated the rain, he enjoyed it. Then again he had eternity to think about things. He was glad that he was a vampire, unlike others of his kind.
As he walked around a corner he thought he saw someone.

Jazz held her face toward the sky, letting the rain drops hit her face. It was refreshing in a way, even if she could get sick from it. She didn't have a care in the world. She was just happy to go out. Rain made her...calm. more calm than she already was.
Jazz turned around. Her eyes caught glimpse of what she thought looked like a figure. She could have been wrong though. The night plays tricks on the eyes after all. And the rain didn't make it that much better, either. She tried to get a closer look, and still the figure was there. Jazz tried one more test.
"Hello?" she called out. Now, she knew the dangers of calling them out. What if he was a killer...

Aurel observed the pair curiously for a moment from a rooftop. The vampire - would he take her? She was different - she created music; Aurel had been watching her for a while, considering her as a victim, but then decided against it. So if this vampire chose to stalk her, Aurel would protect this human. Music should never die. She slowly climbed down the building, but not out of inability.
She placed herself in a corner between two buildings in the shadows and waited for the events to pour out.

Vladimir smiled seeing it was human. He then moved to a alley next to him, fast enough to cause a blur but not fast enough to look like he vanished.
He then noticed the presence of another vampire, it seemed like the one that had interrupted one of his previous hunts.
He looked back and saw her and thought, here we go again

'What the hell?!?' Jazz thought. The figure had moved, and boy it was fast! In the dark rain, it looked like a ghost.
'My minds playing tricks on me again..' she thought to herself, 'but....it wont hurt to check...'
Jazz cursed yourself for being so curious, and slowly walked closer to where the 'figure' had been.
When she confirmed no one was there, Jazz looked in all directions.
nothing.
Jazz laughed at herself. Her smile vanished when her eyes caught glimpse of the alley she thought she saw it go in.
'Should I?'
'hell, why now..'
"Excuse me?" Jazz yelled, walking toward the alley, slowly and cautiously (if being cautious was een too late..)

She watched Vladimir, for she knew it was he, dazzle the human. Aurel shifted with impatience and cracked her neck. she didn't like what had happened last time this she had encountered this vampire.
She moved behind the human. Her khaki pants and soft leather jacket made no sound.
Excuse Me? rang through the night.
"Do not move." Her voice, in an attempt to come out as a friendly though stern whisper, was bitter and full of menace. "I will not hurt you. I do not know if the other present, will."
She put her small hand on the humans shoulder. She spoke louder, at a medium tone, and continued to speak. "This human is under my protection. She shall not be harmed nor embraced. I realize my fault at our last encounter. It is my wish she be spared. Do not come further if you mean harm, or you will find that I am better prepared." She looked down at the human, admiration in her lilac eyes. "When's the next time you can play that guitar for me, eh?"

Jazz nearly screamed, if not for the strangers soft words.
Jazz looked up at the stranger, wondering who she was talking to.
"W..what? How did you..whats going on?," Jazz stuttered," W...who was going to harm me?"
Jazz heard more ruffling in the alley, which scared her enough to get behind the stranger.
"I knew my curiosity would get me in a bundle, crap..." she spoke out loud, then looked back up to the stranger," listen, If you make sure whoever that person is doesn't hurt me, I play whenever the hell you want!"

Vladimir came running out of the alley as fast he could jumping in the air just before he hit the two standing in front of it, he landed siting down on a ledge on a building behind them and asked sarcastically"do you always have to ruin my fun?"
He was joking of course but at the same time he was wondering why she had stepped in, if he had wanted to hurt the human he would have already done so.
"Whats your name anyways, i didn't catch it the last time we met?" he asked

She smiled gingerly down on the girl. "I'd rather you play for me under better circumstances, when your pulse had gone down and you think of me as a friend.” She noticed movement in the shadows. “No one is here to harm you now. All will be explained shortly, perhaps if you come to my apartment...? Our… visitor… and I have a past history I’d rather clean up before we leave.”
“Do you always have to ruin my fun?" With a sigh of discontent, Aurel turned around annoyed, leather trench coat swiveling beneath her feet, and asked just as sarcastically, “Do we always have to meet in the wrong place at the wrong time?” She chose to keep her hand on the arm of the human in case she bolted. “My name,” she said, black glove gesturing to herself, “is Aurel. Your name,” she continued, “is Vladimir, as I have researched and poked around for your name. I like to know who I’m up against.” She grinned, flashing her fangs keenly in the light away from the obviously terrified girl. “Thanks for not gutting me, by the way. I ‘preciate the mercy. Would have left a nasty scar.” She cracked her neck. "It's obvious why I took an interest in this human - my love of music. Though it's killed out brother the cat many times, curiosity has wrapped itself around me again, and I must ask: What use does she have for you?"

The lady, who announced her name as Aurel, was obviously there to protect her. Jazz knew this, and she started to breathe again. Apparently Aurel knew she played music, and loved it. Otherwise she wouldn't be there, Jazz guessed. Although she had know idea what was going on, nor the 'past' Aurel had with the...man...if he was even human..
Jazz tried to control her nerves. After all, she was now safe, and felt it too while being around her new friend.

Aurel calmly - or as calmly as her blood-lust allowed - turned her back and looked at the human. "Everyone but yourself has been introduced, little one." she remarked, though the human was at least her height, and her bodily age. Physic meant little to Aurel - it was the mind she cared about, and Aurel had a 600 year mental leap on the girl. "Let's get out of this alley and go to a warmer place. Do you own a home?"

"she doesn't really have a use to me, it's just fun to mess with humans." Vladimir said as he hoped down to the street and said "mercy is for the weak which is what you are." he didn't really mean this he justed wanted to tick her off, after all she had interrupted his fun.

"My name is...Jasmine Herald," She replied," But I call myself Jazz for short...
"As for a home here, no..I'm from America and I'm just doing some traveling..I have a hotel..Somewhere. Thats why i was trying to get to him," Jazz pointed at Vladimir," I thought he might know where it was."
When Vladimir hopped down to the street, and replied that 'mercy was for the weak', Jazz no longer hid behind Aurel. She knew longer had to fear this..being of a man. And how relieved she was when he told them he had no use for her.

She stared back at the vampire. "When you cause trouble just to do so, you know that you truly are of no use in this world." she sneered. "Then again, I suppose you acting as exterminator last time I saw you. Maybe you are useful." Vladimir acted like a fledgling that had just discovered his elite powers. As she had when she was younger, she admitted to herself, but the others had shown no mercy when she was a fledgling, and neither would she. Would she? He had spared her a nasty chest scar. At 600+, she was too old to die of a stab wound.
She settled for a nuetral reply. "You are welcome to accompany us. I'd rather befriend you than have an enemy on the streets." she glanced back at the girl and strode forward to the front of the building and looked up. She spoke too soft for the human to hear in the rain, but loud enought that Vlad would hear it with ease. "If you really want to screw with some poor gents, I've got just the place. I'll have to take you there. But for now, act like the gentleman you are. It would be greatly appreciated." She ran through her gloved hand through her short brown hair. She had spiked it before she went out that night, but the rain had washed the gel out. She made a reminder to buy a different brand of water-proof gel next time. Flat hair was a pain. "Is it a deal, Vladimir?"
When she heard her human reply she simply left, not even waiting to hear an answer from the other vampire. "Jazz it is, then. I too am from america. Here on vacation, visiting my homeland. I was born in Gaul, but England has always been a love of mine.
"A hotel will be just fine. I might know where it is if you give me the name. If not, I own a small apartment. You are welcome to stay there of course... in exchange for a small tune." She gave a genuine smile. "I apologize for the violent dress." Aurel gestured to her black leather attire that could have easily belonged in a matrix movie. "I assure you that my personality is warmer."

"Thank you so much, your kind," Jazz blushed," You look alright, I like it. I dont look to swell, so i cant comment on anything. I'm not sure what the name was. Auro hotel? no....
"If it wouldnt be too much trouble, could i stay with you until i find my apartment? Its quit late out..I would be happy to play for you when ever you want," She explained, tugging the guitar on her back," and heck, i can even teach you. it wont be too much trouble, seeming you like music. But i have to ask..where did you hear me play?
oh! will that guy be joining us, by the way?"
