London was so much better in the night. That was Michael' opinion anyway. A time to hunt, a time to feed. Michael wouldn't be feeding on a human today though. He was going to try a new diet. Maybe an animal or maybe something different. He was sat on a park bench. Probably waiting for a cat to come by, any animal would though. He promised himself he would feed on animals from now on, and he had never broke a promise to himself before.
A wolf made him feel this way. Who would have thought it? Vile creatures. Flee bitten mutts. So ungraceful and so dirty. He could throw insults at there kind all day. He could also compliment Katra all day, it doesn't make sense. He had killed wolves, many wolves. Most of those times were in self defense though, thats why he hated them. They always attack first "Monsters" He whispered under his breath. He reached into his pockets and grabbed out a packet of skittles. Throwing one in his mouth one after another.
Te night was boring. No action, no excitement. No interesting characters other than himself. "So this is my life for the next billion years" He said, this time outloud.

Kia grumbled angrily. So much drama. Why couldn't people just leave her the hell alone? She just wanted to be left...ALONE!
Feeling the need to expel her anger, Kia sighed slowly as she let the transformation take her. Slowly her claws grew as her fangs started to grow. Just as she was getting ready to fully transform, her nares picked up the scent of an undead creature nearby.
Her muscles tightened instinctively. As the war got closer and closer, Vampires were attacking her at random. Kia leaped into a nearby tree and allowed her eyes to zoom in on the only person walking around in the darkness.
He was handsome, but she didn't know how long he'd been a Night Walker. Popping skittles into his mouth, he looked completely bored. Kia snickered quietly, but then smirked when the male spoke out lout.
"Well, you should have thought about that before becoming what you are." she said, leaping down in front of him. "But I guess you didn't, now did you?"

Another wolf? This is going to take some effort. "I didn't get the chance to think about it love" He said while throwing the skittles to the ground. He kept eye contact on her, not blinking once "For over 150 years, I have lived life to its fullest as a vampire. Now that I get by on animals, its just a depressing life. Thank god for her"
"Did you choose to become a wolf love? I mean who in their right mind would?" He walked in closer, looking her up and down. Nothing special about this wolf he thought. But he really had no idea. Whats your name?" Hopefully she wouldn't attack him, he couldn't be bothered having to fight for his life, he hadn't even fed yet so he was weak at the moment.
"The names Michael. You are quite attractive yourself" He said with a sarcastic laugh. Such arrogance, assuming she found him good looking. "Not from these parts?"

Heh, well that was something a lot of both werewolves and vampires had in common she realized. They didn't f*cking THINK! It wasn't such a hard concept to grasp. Oh well, Kia couldn't really grasp it either sometimes.
Hence her recklessness.
At the question of whether or not she had a choice to become a werewolf, she quirked a brow as she leaned against the tree trunk she just jumped out of. Shrugging her shoulder, Kokia popped her neck as her blue orbs kept an eye on this Night Walker before her. "Even though it's really none of your business, yes and no, I both did and did not choose to become what I am."
It wasn't a lie, but not the whole truth. Who was this man that Kia had to tell him that she had grown up as a human for nearly thirteen years with a bunch of Amazon she-wolves, then chained to a stone table during her "coming of age" ceremony and bitten by her mother. They had not bothered to ask her if she wished to remain human. No. They just strapped her down and she got bitten on the dusk of the full moon.
Kokia Luxin was truly born anew that night; experiencing her rebirth as a creature of wild and unimaginable skills and abilities.
When asked her name, Kia only waited for the vampire to say his name first. When revealing himself to be Michael, Kia rolled her eyes at the comment of her being attractive. "Oh please." she said, shoving herself off the tree and smirking. "Kokia is what I'm called."
Kokia paced around him. He looked a bit weaker, but that's because the undead could hide their own strength. As for his recent feeding...it didn't look to be all that recent at all. Heh. Yeah, she could flick him with her finger and he'd fall over...in a sense.
The she-wolf folded her arms across her chest as she looked him over. "Not half bad looking...for a walking corpse." she stated. "But you're not my type. I prefer something a bit more challenging." Kia rounded on him and held up her index finger, shaking it back and forth. "And no, I don't necessarily mean one of my kind either. One less mongrel that I have to deal with, the better."

"A walking corpse? Thats an odd title for someone with more life in him than you" She had spirit, I guess he should admire that. He looked her in the eyes once more, showing off his white eyes "One day while I was walking down the street, I was dragged into an alley and turned. There's my short story. No choice" He was amused at her comments about him not being her type "Oh and like I want to hook up with a mutt" That was nasty, she could probably dish out worse though.
In an instant, Michael rushed around her until he was facing her back. He wrapped his arms around her neck, not violently, just as a prank. "See girl. I'm much faster than you. Probably stronger too" He kept his hands wrapped around her. He wanted a game of strength.

More life in him than she did, hm? Well that was a bold assumption for someone to make upon meeting a total stranger for the first time. Was this guy an arrogant son-of-a-b*tch or what?
The explanation short and sweet as to what happened to him, Kokia shrugged and nodded. Well, that was that. He didn't have a choice either, in a sense. Though they could have left him to die. What a waste.
Kia wrinkled up her nose. Did he just call her a mutt? "All Werewolves are pure, you fool. But hey, what can I expect from a dead guy. May the maggots dine in splendor." she said, waving her hand back and forth to turn away from him and go about her own business. She didn't need this garbage tonight.
However, movement out of the corner of her eye caused her to freeze as she limbs wrapping around her throat. They weren't forceful by any means, more like a mocking gesture to having her back vulnerable. At his challenge, Kokia only smirked and placed her hands on his forearms.
"Is that a fact?" she said before gripping onto his arms and hauling him completely over her head, throwing him a few feet away. She dusted off her hands and ran her fingers through her locks. "Please don't make the mistake of underestimating me, Night Crawler."
If this was a test of strength, Kia was more than happy to dish some punches out.

As Michael was flying through the air, he flipped back, landing on his feet. She was strong, very strong. Michael walked forward clapping his hands "OK you made your point. So whats your story? Want all vampires dead?" Michael began to assume that of all wolves. He didn't blame them, he began to hate his own race as well.
He put his hands in the pocket of his trench coat "Just so you know. I'm not like other vampires. Not anymore" He didn't know what sparked it, but his conscience called at him. All the evil things he had done. All the things other vampires did. He wanted them all dead. He wanted his maker dead, the woman who turned him, who made him a monster. He wanted to make up for it all. The first step he was taking was going from human blood to animals.
"I wouldn't blame you for hating vampires. I hate them too, and I am one" Right now he wanted to go to the coven and kill Xavier himself. He would kill the rest later. The coven was too powerful to be brought down though, not by one lone vampire. It would take an army.

It wasn't a surprise that he landed on his feet so swiftly. Kia was, however, quirking her brow once more at the mini applause she got. Who was this guy kidding?
When asked if she wanted all vampires dead, Kokia scoffed and placed her hands on her hips defiantly while tossing her jet banes out of the way of her blue eyes. "Oh jeez...not that question again." she stated in annoyance before shrugging her shoulders. "What is it with all the Weres and Vamps around here asking me the same damn thing all the time? I don't tolerate oppression of any race or someone getting in my face."
Kia leaned against the tree and crossed her feet at the angle while folding her arms across her chest. "Vampires...Werewolves...humans...if they cross me, I'll kick their ass. Plain and simple." she stated nonchalantly.
She really was getting annoyed with being asked that question. Why did everyone have to be on one side or the other? Why couldn't they just get the hell over their differences and just stay out of each other's way? Was it so hard? Apparently so, seeing as how the minute Kia stepped out into the world out of her tribe, it had been hell trying to survive night after night due to werewolf or vampire attacks.
When she heard Michael saying he hated being one, Kia snorted as she covered her mouth to prevent herself from laughing. That was a strange thing to say for a Night Walker. "You hate being a vampire? Well, why not just watch the sun rise then? I find that the easiest way, don't you? Why are you clinging onto a life you don't even care for?"

Why didn't he kill himself? Mainly because being a vampire was fun, up until now "Because if die, then the world has lost one of only a handful of vampires who are not power crazed maniacs" Michael wanted to protect the humans, who were to weak to stand against the vampires. "I don't mean you any harm. I was just having some fun before" He needed fun, if he didn't have that, then he would kill himself.
He walked in even closer, he kept a reasonable distance, he didn't like invading peoples personal space. Most vampires didn't respect boundaries. "Your different from the other wolves. Not as ignorant. Every wolf I have met has called me a monster. I am a human being suffering from a disease" Thats how he saw it. And it was true. After you were bit you felt your body changing from venom. You still look human, you still feel human emotions.
Most people didn't look at it that way though. He didn't hate being a vampire, he just hated the evil vampires, most of them are evil. "Hopefully the wolves win the war. You should watch yourself out here love. Coven vampires, I'm sure they would love the chance to get you" Maybe that was a good thing, if they came after her, she could kill them. "So love, can you do any other tricks" He said with a smile that flashed his fangs.

So, he lived because there were more of him that were evil than good? Or neutral maybe? Perhaps he wasn't so different from her after all. Kia only gave a nod in response.
At the comment of just playing around, Kokia only smirked and tilted her chin upwards in confirmation that she understood. Every now and then it was fun to just joke around with some people. Getting into less and less fights since meeting Caleb, she'd been making it a point to take better care to getting to know her surroundings and the people in them.
A light scoff left Kokia's lips as she listened to him commenting on how she was different from the other werewolves he'd met. "Yeah, I'm finding out just how different I am from the rest of my kind out here in the modern world." she mused, unable to keep from rolling her eyes.
When she heard the disease, it was ironic...but weren't the werewolves essentially suffering from the same thing? Getting bitten and changing; having no control when the full moon touched their bare skin and causing them to wreak unimaginable havoc on the unsuspecting world around them? Were they truly any different from the Night Walkers?
Kia didn't think they were.
The she-wolf raised a hand up at his warning. "I can take care of myself, thanks for your concern though. I'm well aware of just how different I really am out here. I make it a point to watch my back a lot more often than others." Kia stated, smirk forming on her lips while watching his fangs show. "Tricks?"
Suddenly, Kia quickly dashed forward and around Michael in time to catch a firefly in her hand. Once she felt the insect crawling around on her hands, she opened up her palm and revealed the glowing bug in her hands. A light shrug following the gesture, Kia tossed some of her hair from her face.
"Not much to be impressed with, hmm?"

He liked her confidence. Maybe she can handle herself against the coven. Still London wasn't a safe place for wolves. He was happy that she took the joke well. Most vampires who he tried to have a pretend fight with, usually took it seriously. We both have amazing powers, and you could have fun with them.
Wolves did kill people like vampires, but vampires enjoyed it. They choose to inflict pain. Most wolves can't control themselves. She had probably killed humans before, a wolf is bound to have an accident at some point or another. His heart was pained by all the people he had killed in the past, he deserved to die, but instead he chose to help people. The wolves had no control over who they kill in most cases, so the pain must be double for them.
When he saw Kia move as fast an lightning, he was amazed. Even more when he saw the firefly in her hand. "I can move faster" He said with a smile, letting her know he was only playing. Playing along, he once again rushed around her back and grabbed hold of both her shoulders "Thank god I'm not this fast in bed" A light laugh followed.

Strange, but she didn't know why this Night Walker seemed so...grieved; as if lost in his own sadness and unable to discern what to do with the remaining eternity of his existence. Who could blame him? Kia almost felt sorry for those of the living dead.
Was immortality so great? Kia didn't think it was. Death was a part of the great cycle of Gaia's blessing. Life; death. It was all to be expected. Kia could not imagine roaming the plains of Gaia for centuries long passed her expiration date.
When Michael snuck up behind her again, his hands on her shoulders, Kia momentarily froze for a second; muscles taut but soon relaxing. Quirking a brow at his comment and light chuckle, Kokia shrugged as a teasing smile spread across her lips. "You're still able to do something like that, dead as you are?"

Vampires were unnatural. They didn't die, and death is the only constant and justice in this universe. Immortality was good and bad. The good part was the adventure, living to see the world dramatically change. To have all the time in the world to experience what you want. The bad part was that nobody wants to live forever. How would your mind fare after 1000 years of living? A million years of living? Still nobody lives forever, its impossible, death comes for us all in the end. Vampires can out run it for a while though.
Michael couldn't keep a laugh from escaping his lips after hearing her last comment "Well love if your curious to find out?" He whispered into her ear. He then let go of her shoulders, and moved away a few inches. She had a quick mouth, as did he. "What about you? I heard that in the middle of the excitement, you werewolves can't help but change. I don't fancy being torn to shreds"

Her existence was complicated. Most werewolves of her kind felt obligated and fearful during nights of the full moon when their transformation was beyond their control. Kokia Luxin, however, would willingly go back to her tribe in Greece so that she could experience the transformation in all of its glory as she was chained to the stone table just outside the village. There, she lost control and was safe from causing any harm to those around her.
Kia didn't know why, but transforming to where she could feel that last thread of humanity slipping from her grasp did something for her; the rush of it excited her. Because of this, Kia only kept this tainted secret to herself for fear of shaming her mother. The she-wolf did not truly know what was wrong with her.
Was she evil?
Kokia heard Michael whispering into her ear about wanting to find out about something. -Find out about what?- she couldn't help thinking as he laughed and moved away from her, allowing the she-wolf to turn her body to face the Night Walker. The next thing he said caused a slight frown to form on he face as her brows furrowed, her hands resting on her hips while shrugging her shoulders. "Well I really wouldn't know anything about that, seeing as how I've never embraced a man before in my life."

When he heard her words, it created an awkward moment. He felt like an idiot. It was just a joke but maybe he went too far. That was his problem, when he wanted to have a joke, all boundaries were out the window. That was the vampire in him. The curse changed you in many ways. You became a darker version of yourself, to the point where you seem unrecognizable to yourself.
"Well then I feel stupid" He said with a nervous laugh following. He hoped he didn't say anything else sexually suggestive. It could just slip out anytime. "So you like an amazon or something?" He laughed at his own statement, they were myths right? Wolf Amazons? Really interesting he thought. He thought back to how he grabbed her before "Then I guess I'm sorry about grabbing you before. Out of line" He said with his face looking to the ground.
