The sun was a hours away from rising. The humans will flood the streets while the vampires will retreat to their shelters like rats. If they didn't then they will be judged by the rays of the sun. The streets were empty right now, not many human souls in sight. Michael had been dragging his way through the streets for a while now. The man had just come from a brutal fight with Sevanni, which left him badly wounded. He could only put force on one leg while the other was busted. Dry blood was all over his face. This was the worst condition he had been in since birth.
While dragging himself through the streets, his mind was clouded with rage. This rage was directed at Sevanni. All he could do was swear to himself that he would pay Sevanni back a much worse beating. That wouldn't be happening anytime soon though, as survival was the top priority at the moment. He needed to heal his wounds, he needed blood. Things started to look good for Michael when he saw a human woman. She was only young, in her 20's. A seemingly easy kill. He slowly approached her, his damaged knee was clearly visible. Now that he was within inches of the woman, he tapped her on the back, causing the woman to turn and face him. She asked if he was ok "I am now" Michael replied before lunging at her neck, but before he could even sink his teeth into her neck, she kicked him right in his damaged knee "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH" He let out a scream of pain before falling to the floor.
He tried to get up but it was to no use. How could he have fallen so far. "DAMN!" He shouted while still lying on the floor.

Ali was on a bench not far from where Michael was. She was laying on her back, her legs dangling on the edge and planted on the ground. She hummed silently and looked at the stars. They were so beautiful. And without really thinking she started to count them. She had come from London to Paris just for a little vacation. It wasnt because she didnt like London but she always wanted to be on the move. She was currently renting a place a little ways from here.
She got up from the bench and was about to head back towards home when she heard a scream of terror and then she heard a scream of pain. Next thing she knew she noticed a human woman running away. She smelt the scent of blood following her and so she headed that way. It didnt take long before she noticed Michael. Her eyes widened and she ran over to him. "Michael!" She said and kneeled down by him. He looked pretty beat up.

While on the floor Michael could only see up to the stars. Looking up at the sky was not Michaels idea of fun. All that changed when Ali came from nowhere. There couldn't have been a better place to run into his dear friend. He looked up at her "Ali? Well my friend, I didn't want you to see me like this" He said with a weak smile. He used his arm to lift himself up slowly. He couldn't put weight on his left knee, so he could just about stand "I'm alright" That was pride talking. He really didn't want to be seen like this.
A lot of shame filled him right now. "I was just on my way home. I was hit by a bus" That was a pathetic excuse, so pathetic it couldn't be told apart from a bad excuse and a joke.

Ali watched him nervously. She as worried and she could tell he was hurt badly. And that he needed help. The sun would be rising soon and he wouldnt be able to get anywhere quickly with that knee. She sighed and shook her head. "Its fine Michael. Everyone gets hurt. That just means your friend has to help you."
She wasnt surprised when he lied about how he got hurt. She could smell vampires all over him though. And she recognized one scent. That meant the other vampire she hadnt met. But she could probably guess. She went over to him and put his arm over her shoulder. "Come on. Off to my place. You need somewhere to stay. And I know there was no bus involved. I can smell Aubrey on you. And my guess is Sevanni got to you." She said and looked at him with gentle eyes.

When he realized she knew what had happened, he got angry. It wasn't a rage, just angry at himself for letting what happened happen. "I'm ok seriously. I have a place" Again another lie, he couldn't bring himself to take her help. It would make him feel to weak. But if he didn't go he would die, I guess he had no choice. "Your right. Thank you" She was a good friend, and he had no choice but to leave with her. He just begged she thought no less of him.
Revenge once again came to his mind, how he wanted to tear Sevanni' throat out. The big question was could he do it?

Ali looked at him with a soft gaze. She knew he hated it that she had to help him. She would feel the same way, but he needed it. She wasnt going to stand around and watch him die. And it wasnt like he could run away from her. His knee kept him from doing that. But the big question was why Sevanni had attacked him. But she wasnt going to ask him out of his privacy. She pointed up the street. "I live up there temporarily. You can stay there as long as you need." She told him as she helped him hobble along the path towards it.
((Sorry its short ))

As Ali was helping Michael there was an active train rail besides them. Trains were still moving at that time. There was something off and odd about Ali. She smelled funny, at that moment his eyes widened in shock. He could smell a wolf all over her. At that moment he released himself away from Ali. He could just about stand up "A wolf has been all over you? What the hell is wrong with you?" He said in shock. He couldn't believe she was with a wolf.
He could just about understand what she had done to the little boy but this was making no sense to him. He looked at her with sad eyes "This is madness!" He said backing away until he was just inches away from the train rails.

Ali was helping him by the railroad tracks when she sensed his confusion. She didnt realize she had Landon's scent all over her. She had visited him recently and he could smell him. She realized that a little to late when he moved away from her and then yelled. She was worried he was to close to the tracks but she looked at him with sad eyes. She knew that something would happen to make him hate her. And it was this. Everyone ended up hating her eventually.
She looked down at the floor and shoved her hands in her pockets of her coat. "I dont know how it happened....It just did." She said barely above a whisper. She was embarrassed but determined to not let her pain show. "Watch out for the tracks...." She muttered next.

Michael s anger was not quelled by her incoherent words. It made things worse. "There wolves, there disgusting vile animals!" Michaels words were so full prejudice. Vampires blindly hated the wolves and the feeling was mutual. Michael has killed his share of wolves in the past, so he had deep hatred. Hatred he didn't really understand but it was there nonetheless. "I can't believe it. But it is true, how could you?" He said the anger clear in his voice.
He heard her tell him to watch his step. He could hear a train coming, it wasvery far away but visible.
He looked Ali in the eye, the confusion, shock and anger clouded his eyes to much for him to see his friend that had helped him in the past. The train was close now, it would pass them in a few seconds. He looked Ali in the eyes and said "sick!" The train crossed by them but before it went away, Michael quickly grabbed hold of a bar at the back of the train, this swept him away along with the train in an instant.
He saw Ali' presence move further and further away. The only thing in his mind right now were sadness and regret.

Ali listened to him quietly. She didnt know what to say so she didnt say anything. What could she say? His mind was set. And there was no changing it. What he thought was his opinion. And she wasnt going to change it. Everyone could think what they wanted. And she knew lots of vampires hated werewolves. She just wasnt one of them. But Michael was. It made her sad to hear the anger in his voice.
She looked up from the ground and watched him grab on to the train and slip away from her. Why did everyone hate her so much? She always did something. She knew one day Lee Roy would hate her to. She would have no one. Would Landon hate her later as well? She didnt want to think about that. But currently...she had just lost a close friend. She swallowed and then left for home.
