Litte was in Paris. She had decided that she just wanted to leave New York and go somewhere fun. Her "foster dad" was never home and he knew she could take care of herself. Thats why he had changed her. And she thanked him for it every time she saw him. It truly was a nice experiance.
She glanced around the park that was green and still filled with people at this time of night. It was about nine o clock and still kids played around the benches and mothers pushed strollers. But she also noticed they gave her a wide berth. They came no where near her. It made her smile at them. Foolish humans somehow had an instinct to stay away.
Even if she was a sixteen year old girl and looked young like that, they feared her. And they had the good sense to. She wasnt afraid to hunt humans. She did that on a regular basis actually. And they should consider themselves lucky she had already ate.
She continued down the path and found a bench not occupied by kids and so she sat down and pulled out her guitar that she had dragged along with her from New York. She set it in her lap and lightly ran her fingers down the strings. A small sound came out and from there she tuned it. Once it sounded just right she started to play and let the musical notes fill the night.

Emberr had left New York for a couple days to get away. She was thinking that Paris might not be as bad, she was wrong. Staring at the humans, she saw a gap where there was only one on the bench, it confused her. She took a step closer and caught the scent of the vampire, that made more sense. Emberr made her way towards her, being more frightened of the humans then her.
She never understood why she shied away from humans when really it was the vampire who changed her, maybe because of the fact her relations with humans had made that happen. Either way she now sat down next to vampire and looked up at her through curious hazel eyes. They looked almost gold and the warmth of them won everyone over which was usually how she got a meal.
"Hello." Emberr smiled slightly, making sure that her fangs didn't show.

Litte had been playing quietly, just watching humans walk by and not really caring that they kept their distance. It was normal and some very brave humans ever once in a while would stop and listen to her play. She smiled at that and made sure her fangs stayed hidden. She enjoyed collecting money from playing and those humans left some change in her case.
But they left quickly when another lady came over and sat down by her. Litte glanced at her from the corner of her eye and could smell the vampire scent. Humans could maybe deal with one around them. But not two, it was to much danger. But she didnt mind company from someone in her own kind. So she stopped playing and smiled at Emberr. "Hi. What bring you out tonight?" She asked. Trying to keep it seeming casual. Like humans.

"Just out for the night and didn't want to be in a crowd." Emberr replied simply. "I'm Emberr." She added so that the girl at least knew her name. She crossed her legs and looked up at the moon. There were no humans in the sky at least.
"Nice night isn't it?" She asked looking at the girl again and taking in her features. She was actually quite pretty. Emberr wasn't the best at small talk, having cut herself off from people. So for her it was slightly awkward and she wasn't sure if the other girl felt that way too. Hopefully not and she was still okay at it. She could vaguely remember when she used to be able to strike up a conversation with anyone.

Litte smiled at Emberr and held her hand out. "Im Litte." She said and chuckled slightly. She was all right at stating conversations. But she didnt interact with many people at all. She mostly kept to herself so this was a change in plans slightly. She didnt mind it however. Her creator was always gone and left her home in New York. So she would get up, get a ticket for a plane and go.
She looked at the humans walking by slightly and then put the guitar away. She nodded at Emberr's comment. "Yeah. Its a wonderful night. Thats why I came out. Even though I dont mind any kind of night." She shrugged. It was much more peaceful here then in New York. She always heard sirens and car horns there.

Emberr smiled again, "Litte, that's a cool name." She had always hated generic names that everyone had, like Hannah or Chris. Individual ones were more fun to hear, and then there was only one you could be talking to so there wouldn't be confusion.
She laughed, "I generally prefer nights with less people around and more quiet. That's easy to find here, sitting next to you, but I would never find that it New York." The mention of New York usually started a conversation, everyone knew her home, it was a familiar place. They always started talking about what they would do there or what they had done there. Then conversation wasn't such a bother. And hearing people's opinions on the state was always entertaining.

Litte smiled at Emberr's comment on her name. She thought Emberr was a cool name as well. She had never heard it before and so it was interesting to meet something new and not that went with the flow. She grabbed her hair in a bunch and twirled it slightly and then tossed it over her shoulder. Sometimes it got in the way to much.
Her eyes brightened though when she heard Emberr talk about New York. "New York huh? I live there as well. I agree that this place is much more quiet. I like things to be quiet when I play or write but other then that they humans stay away from me. They can somewhat sense I guess that Im a danger to them. Even though im only 16." She shrugged and laughed.

"I stay away from them as mush as they stay away from me unless I need a meal so I wouldn't know." Emberr admitted. "And it's cool that you live in new York, kind of ironic, huh?" She laughed. As irritating as that city could be she loved it, it would always be her home.
"So then why did you come to Paris?" Emberr asked, it was so ironic that they were both in Paris at the same time. She guessed that Litte already had a vague idea why she was here, after saying how many times she wanted to stay away from humans.
Paris was a truely nice place though. She loved the natural feel of it, without all the smug and snotty people New York had. And there weren't as many lights at night, it was darker, she loved that.

Litte smiled at Emberr and nodded slightly. "Yeah. I can understand maybe why you would stay away from them. Well..maybe not. But I dont really have a choice and I could care less in the matter. Only a few humans ever get brave enough to actually get near me. And thats if im lucky. Or maybe not so lucky. However...whenever im with my creator....no human comes within a ten foot range."
She shook her head slightly. Her creator was a scary guy and at times he even scared her. But she learned tricks from him. She wanted to be just like him. Sure...she would always be a kid...but that didnt mean that she had to act like a kid. He just had an air about him that said, come near me you die. He was her inspiration and she strived to be like him. But so far she would live up her youth years.
"Me? I came to Paris to just get away. I was home alone anyway so I just got a ticket and here I am." She chuckled and looked at Emberr once more. "Its really different compared to New York. I kinda miss the sirens." She said teasingly. She didnt miss the noise at all. Even though it had become a comfortable background noise to her.

Emberr giggled, "No matter how much you get used to the sirens you still remember they're annoying when you come to a place like this." She thought about what she missed the most.
"I miss all the music." She said truthfully, "I love how there's a different person playing at every corner, even more then one per street. And each one is so individual." Being a singer she always had a soft side for them. She usually threw in big donations. She sighed as she remembered tossing 50$ into one guy's case and he gave her such a look of happiness, she had donated to him more than once too. He was really good, but she never got up the nerve to talk to the human.
He stilled scared her. Being able to stand out in the streets all day and play infront of everyone. And not care when someone said something mean, she couldn't do that. You had to be strong for that. She looked back at Litte getting carried away in her thoughts. But she was a musician too so she should understand.

Litte couldnt help but chuckle at Emberr. "Thats very true. I kinda miss the sirens and then the other half of me says 'are your crazy?' and mentally slaps me." She smiled and thought about the busy city life. She had been born into that city life and she would forever stay in that busy city life. The car horns and sirens were like a midnight lullaby to her.
But she was pulled from her thoughts when she heard Emberr talk about the street performers. She missed that as well. When ever she went to play somewhere she was welcomed by the humans and they werent afraid. Or if they were they didnt let her push them out of their spot. She would sometimes just listen as well. Music was one of her passions.
"I agree. I miss them to. I sometimes go and play in central park. I get some good tips there. And the humans are far braver and actually enjoy listening." She said and looked off into the distance. She missed that. She hadnt found any street perfromers here and that saddened her. Did Paris not have any people who loved music enough to just go out and play?

"I think they like fashion here better," Emberr said, "Although seeing all the humans spending every last penny they own on fancy designer clothes is fun too. Especially if it's just something simple, I was never into that sort of thing." As she was talking she looked at the people again and could see one or two people wearing designer clothes or holding a designer bag thinking they were all that. What a joke, clothes doe not make a person.
"So do you just play guitar or anything else as well," Emberr said looking at her case and going back to the subject of music after her fashion comment. Music was an easier topic for her and she could go on for hours, it made talking to this other girl so much more comfortable.

Litte chuckled and leaned against the guitar slightly and smiled at Emberr. She agreed with the cloths. These humans were funny when it came to clothes. Even when she had been human she hadnt been that attached to clothes. She just didnt get it. What was so important clothes and designer brands? "I find that funny. Humans make me laugh."
Then her face brightened at her question. "No. I only play guitar but I sing as well when I feel like it. My mother got me into music at an early age and musicians run in my family. It practically sings in my veins." She said with a smile and then chuckled at her own pun.

Emberr giggled, "That's cool, I sing too. I never done it infront of a bunch of people though. It makes me to nervous. I don't want them to laugh at me or anything." Another reason she hated humans. They judged you and called you horrible when they couldn't do any better themselves. Even when she was like them she didn't get that.
She was just another one of those shy nice kids who didn't think anyone was stupid or a waste. Everyone had their talent and she liked to point that out, it got her made fun of. Litte was a nice vampire though, she didn't seem like she would do that to a person. She seemed open-minded to a lot of stuff.

Litte listened quietly as Emberr explained that she had never sang in front of a large audience. She thought that was a shame because it was rather fun. But she could tell that Emberr was nervous around humans and so it would make sense that she wouldnt like the stage. Humans could be so cruel at times. They yelled at you if they didnt like you and they made rude names.
She shook her head slightly as she thought about that. "Humans could be so cruel. They dont know whats good and what isnt. They only like what they like and they dont open up to others. Sometimes I just dont get it." She told Emberr. She then looked at her and smiled. "Im sure you have a lovely voice."
