A mid-night stroll -open

[*Violet Elizabeth Rosewater]

It was dark outside as the clock stroke mid-night. It was Friday night and her father and her where in their apartment complex. Her father was in the living room watching t.v while she was upstairs getting ready to go out. She put on her black vans and a short pink skirt. She also put on a black tank top and hoodie that hugged her body perfectly. She then started to put on her black eyeliner, mascara and shiny lip balm to her slightly chapped lips. Even though Violet was only going to the park this was about the only time she was aloud out . So her train of thought is "Well if I'm going out might as well look good " . With the final touches to her make up and a bow in her dark black hair she walked out of her room. She walked over to her dad and kissed his forehead lightly. "I'm heading out to meet some friends , is that okay ?" She asked. "Yeah , I just don't know why you hate going out during the day. It's so dangerous at night" He replied. She gave him a reassuring smile." Don't worry dad I'll be fine, I'll be with friends " He looked at her and then at the door " Well...alright , I'm just glad your not out in those hooker heels you where " He said with a small smile on his face. Violet laughed "those hooker heels " he was referring to where her black and pink platform boots. She stopped wearing them at night because her father honestly thought at one point that she was a hooker till she just explained that she just really liked those boots and the night . Now it was a small inside joke between them .


She took her keys off the hanger and lots of napkins into her small purse. Violet waved goodbye to her father as she walked out of her door , and down the stairs of the apartment building. Violet wasn't really going out with friends. In fact she was going out alone to the park since well she didn't really have anymore friends.
She walked out of her building number 4 and down onto the sidewalk . Violet was heading for the large kids park that was a good six blocks away . She didn't mind walking at night since it was the only time she could go out . She continued walking and she could here more and more people as she past a small plazas , some restaurants and groups of young people looking to have some fun. She made her way past them as if she wasn't even there , sometimes she wish she wasn't. She continued to walk for another fifteen minutes , taking a short cut through someone's backyard and she reached the park . At this time of night there was usually no one at the park . Sometimes you would have the occasional hobo or couple there. She walked further down into the park as she reached the small pond and sat by the waters edge looking into the waters reflection as the moon light up the sky. She loved these moments.

[Concieved D'maggio]

If it was'nt one thing it was another, the damn phone was giving wrong directions to him . . . AGAIN! and to top it off, he had no idea where the hell he was.

Sience he didnt have a car he intended just to walk to the bar, but got turned around and ended up at the park. "Great, nothing like being lost in the park." A soft sigh drifted through his lips as he sat down on a nearby swing set. He looked up at the night sky and smiled "At least the night is beautiful, still hate london though." Well it wasnt that he hated London, it was just the people. While thinking he began to get angry, and in the middle of his fit he threw his cell phone into a pond that was nearby.

"Son of a bitch!" he screamed through the night air. Alright Con just relax. Just dive in, grab your phone, and find your way to the bar. Sure it sounded simple enough in his head, but if anyone saw him jump in the freezing water at night, well chances are someone will question it.

As he aproached the ponds edge he began to strip of his shirt and his pants until he was in his grey boxers. Just about as he was ready to jump in he noticed a figure on the other side of the pond. *Is that a woman?* He thought to himself *Definatly smells female* He shruged and waved to the figure away from him. "Hi there, sorry about that. Just needed to get my phone." He tried to mantain his smile, but anyone could see that "oh crap" was written all over his face.

[*Alec Romero]

He wasn't sure what had brought him to England again, maybe it was the scenery. He had only come back to New York City a few weeks ago and here he was again somewhere else. He happened to be walking through one of the many beautiful parks that inhabited London. He was standing near a small pond smoking a cigarette, the light from the cigarette seeming like a firefly or something in the night. He drew the in-toxins in and then breathed out, smoke bellowing into the night sky.

He watched the moon dance upon the surface of the small pond as he stood almost motionless at its edge. No one would have known he was there, especially a little teenage girl such as Violet. He saw her reach the water's edge, staring into the glass reflection of the water. "Beautiful night isn't it?" He asked her, he stood a about a couple feet away from her. He drew in the toxins from his cigarette and blew out the smoke again as he turned towards the female. As he did his blue eyes seemed to glow in the night as he looked towards the young female. A small grin across his face, though in the darkness one might not see it.

"Beautiful, but dangerous." He warned her, but he could somehow tell that she knew that. He sensed that she was somehow immortal like he was. His blue orbs stared at the female as he slowly walked closer to her. "It's not safe to be out at night alone, you might not know what might be lurking out there in the darkness." His voice was cool and monotone. He continued to smoke his cigarette.

He could be seen now, he wore a nice black jacket with a stripped white and blue button up shirt underneath. Nice slacks, though it couldn't be seen if they were actually black or not. He also seemed to tower over her, being the tall and sturdy vampire that he was.

[*Violet Elizabeth Rosewater]

As Violet sat on the waters edge enjoying herself and the the peace that calm with a abandon park at night she heard a man's voice scream "Son of a bitch! " and a small plop as a phone fell into the pond. "Oh crap not another drunk " She thought as she saw the man began to strip down to his what appeared to be gray boxers. " Okay he must really be drunk " She thought to herself now as the man looked up at her and waved and told her about his phone. " Oh well no offense sir, I think your cell is long gone " She replied .

As she finished yelling to the man across the pond she came across another one standing a couple feet by her. "Beautiful night isn't it?" He said as he smoked his cigarette . The smell coming from it filled up her nostrils instantly , she had a strange feeling that this man was not ordinary though. She had a feeling he might be immortal like her. "It's not safe to be out at night alone, you might not know what might be lurking out there in the darkness." He said to her." And when you say what might be lurking out in the darkness do you mean men like you ? " She question with the smallest smirk on her pale face. She knew she probably should be scared but she wasn't , she could be just as vicious and as deadly as him. She looked up at the man and notice that he was fairly good looking , probably in his late twenty's and had very nice blue eyes. "And why perhaps are you here late at night at a children park ? There are things lurking out there that even grown men should fear don't you think ? "

With that comment she laid her head back down on the grass continuing to look up at the moon waiting for the man's response to her smart comments and she also wanted to see if the other man was really going to jump into the pond for his phone , which at this point , dead.

[Concieved D'maggio]

The thought of his cell phone being dead really didn't occur to him, and the fact that he was standing in his boxers made the matter even more embarrassing. *This really isn't your day is it Connie oh boy?* he thought to himself. With a small sigh he threw back his blue jeans and Grey hoodie back over himself. " You know chicka, you might just be right." He smiled and noticed the man standing next to her."Oh sorry about that didn't know you had company. Well take it easy then."

The man who stood next to her though seemed a little off, maybe even threatening to her. And god knows how old that girl was, 17-19 at the most. As he walked his conscious nagged at him * I mean you can't just leave her there alone with him . . . well maybe its her father or bro or something*

Then it hit him, like someone had dumped a bucket of cold water onto him *She is a vampire.* Yes he was sure of it, that wasn't the only thing he smelt off the woman. Against all of his will he turned slowly around "Hey chicka? Do you know where the Colette bar is do you? and if you do could you walk with me to it so i don't get lost?" Well if anything, this would get her away from that man (Not that he was any less of a stranger that is)

[*Alec Romero]

Alec hadn't noticed, or for that matter sensed that someone else was here. He guessed that his attention was entirely on the girl or that he didn't care for anything else around him at the moment. He didn't turn towards the man at all, his eyes were entirely on the female girl before him. He chucked at the girl's words. "I suppose you are right, m'lady." He flicked his cigarette onto the ground and then stepped on it with his right foot. "I could be my own evil I suppose." He stuck his hands into his pockets and looked over at the other man. Who seemed to be immortal as well, he sniffed the air for the scent of the dead. It was there alright.

He looked down at the female vampire, waiting for her to answer the man's question. "A nice cold one would be nice." He said to no one in particular, just thinking out loud to the man's question to the woman. He took another look at the night scenery. He looked towards the female and the man who had been in his boxers moments before.

These were odd immortals, but he himself was odd. Insane almost. Having company at a bar would be nice, though he might prefer that it would be two females and himself instead of a female and guy. He shrugged to himself and stood there motionless then spoke again, "Shall we?"

[/color] He asked the female, then extended his hand to help her up. He seemed to completely ignore the other guy and that it had been his suggestion that they go to the bar. Coming up with an excuse such as 'I'll get lost, blah blah', to try and get the female to come with him. Alec was taking advantage of what the other male had suggested, he seemed to take advantage of alot of things.[/blockquote]

[*Violet Elizabeth Rosewater]

"Hmmm my choices are to stay here and watch the moonlight, OR go to bar with two male vampires who obviously are older and could hurt me. "She thought as she looked up at the two to decide on to stay or leave with them . Usually Violet would have said no and walked away , but given the circumstances that she was extremely bored and that if they tried anything she could get home quickly since she knew this place like the back of her hand , also she's never meet other vampires before till now so maybe she should go to the bar with them . she might never meet another vampire again. "Well my daddy always told me I should never go to the bar with strange men alone . Also I'm only seventeen so I can't even get into the bar. BUT I am extremely bored and that fact that you two are both immortal like me intrigues me so...plus I haven't used my fake I.D yet so might as well try it out. " Violet took Alec's hand as he helped her up . When she finally stood she wished she would have worn her hooker heels because she felt extremely small compared to them . She wiped some dirt off her mini skirt and put her hands in her hoodie pockets.

"Okay men so I'm guessing your not from around here so let me show you around " She said walking away from the pond not looking back , as she got onto the main trail to get out of the park she looked back "Well are you guys coming or not ?" She asked in a cool voice . She then heard them begin to follow her . She then turned around and said "By the way neither or you told me your names " She pointed out . She continued to lead as they walked out of the park . She made a right turn down the street , up a small alley way and up another street. After twenty minutes of walking they reached the bars.

"Okay so that bar right there has good liquor but their happen to have lots of fights " She said pointing to a small pub on the far corner . "There" She said pointing to another a couple shops down " Has bad music but good service ". She then pointed to another pub which was at the end of the street " I believe we should go there because it has the best of both worlds, good liquor , nice music, decent people. And hey you might even get lucky and bring someone home with you " She said. " Now any opinions , objects or your just gonna follow the little British teen ?" She doubted that they had any objects , though it didn't hurt to ask . She wondered if they wondered how she even knew about these places. Violet didn't go to pubs , it wasn't really her scene . But she read a lot of reviews and also have heard plenty of people on the streets talking about the local bars and what they are like.

[Concieved D'maggio]

He began to follow the teen vampire, curiosity mixed with protection of the girl mixed with eachother. There was something seriously wrong with that other vampire man, he knew from the his voice sounded but decided to say nothing and see how the night played out.

His plan of just getting the girl away from the man and then just ditching her when they got to the bar he was looking for was becomeing less doubtfull so he smiled and just went with the flow. He was so preocupied with thinking that he didnt here the girls question of his name " Oh, the name is Kyle, but I would prefer to be called Con, or Concieved, you pick." He kept his eye on the other vamp as they continued to walk towards the bars.

The girl led them to a couple of bars and explained them one by one, till she pointed to the bar he wanted and smiled *Alright at least I made it in time* he thought to himself. He turned himself to the girl and waved his arms to her to go first (he wasnt a gentleman, he just wanted to make sure touchy mic feely didnt try any funny buisness) Then a thought occured to him, why in the hell did he care at all? This girl had no importance to him what so ever, yet he felt something. *Note to self Con, never come back to france*

When they arrived at the door he stoped and turned to the girl "Allright chicka, how you gonna get in?" He smiled and looked her into her eyes, his own green locked into place. Maybe his plan would work after all, just make sure the kid is safe and make sure the other male dosnt loose his cool and snap on the girl.

Then it hit him again like in the park. This was a big de javu experince, this has happened before, only a long time ago

[*Alec Romero]

Alec helped the girl up as she agreed to show him, well actually the other guy, to the bar. Alec had only wanted to come along to get a cold one, possibly something else as well. Though one might not know his true intentions with someone like him. He was oh-so very mysterious. The girl then started to head away from the small pond, following a path. He stepped behind her and followed, calmly and coolly. His hands were still inside his pant pockets, his eyes were aimed straight forehead. His head facing down some.

As she guided them towards the bars she pointed out that they had not introduced themselves. "Oh, how rude of me."[ Alec said sorrily, then began to introduce himself. "I am Alec Rose." He stated, introducing himself to the female. Though he didn't care if the other man caught his name. Nor did he care for the other man's name. "Mi'lady what may I call you?" He asked her. He had picked up some old language way back when and it had stuck. He wasn't much of a gentleman, only when he wanted to be.

He followed her silently as she showed him, er them, the bars and explained them. That some of them had bad music, some had good liquor and stuff. Some had nasty bar fights, though Alec didn't mind those that much. They amused him sometimes, he liked to get rough and stuff with others. Especially the ladies,(but be quiet about that one, wouldn't want to spoil it). They made it to the bar that the other man, Con was his name, from what Alec remembered though he was pretty much paying attention only to Violet.

He stood silently behind her, as she had been explaining the places Alec had almost got lost in her voice but had come to reality as she asked them if they had any objections. And had made that little comment about bringing someone home. He laughed quietly to himself, oh how he would. Perhaps even Violet herself. "Shall we go in then?" He asked, he already knew how she would get in. Because earlier she had said she had a fake I.D.

[*Violet Elizabeth Rosewater]

Now knowing the names of the two men Violet was satisfied . "It's very nice to meet you Con and Alec. My name is Violet Rosewater , you may call me Violet , Rose , or any nickname you come up with as the night moves along " She replied . She then crossed the street with them to the pub called " The Night Owl " Which was where they where going. Violet looked over and gave him a soft smile "Don't worry I have a fake I.D plus it's dark out not like they are really gonna look at me . Besides in this side of town they don't care if you really are of age or not. As they crossed the street they reached the pub. The man at the door was very big and towered over Violet. He had a hard expression on his face. He looked down at her and asked "May I see your I.D mam" She gave him her I.D he looked at it and then her . He handed her back her I.D ."Alright you all three can go in. He didn't even bother to ask Con and Alec for I.D because they where obviously at least 25. Violet picked a booth in the back and sat down . In the dim lighting that hit her face you could truly see that she would be the stero typical vampire. She had very pale skin , and dark black hair to match. Her expression was expressionless and by her attire you could tell she liked rock .

She yawned a bit and as she opened her mouth you could see her fangs. She closed her mouth as the waitress came by to take their orders. The waitress looked about twenty three , auburn hair and brown eyes. She was to say the least very attractive.The waitress left as Violet already played out the rest of the night in her head. She was gonna sit and have a sip or some cherry Smirnoff and watch as the two men probably got drunk and picked up some women . Which for her is entertaining in a sense. Though she wondered how the other women would react to them having a seventeen year old girl with them . She looked around and saw a couple of kids her age on the other side of the pub . She then doubted that anyone would be surprised to see someone like her here . She lightly tapped her foot along to the music that was playing in the background . She then realized it was the first time she was out with people and having a decent time, and with that thought she smiled .

[Concieved D'maggio]

Con smiled as he sat down at the bar and looked up to see a stage. Finally he could accomplish his task tonight. He stood up without bothering to excuse himself and set of to find the owner. He decided that for ounce he shouldn't worry, maybe the girl liked that other vamp. What did he care? he just came here to play music, which was his original intention.

Finally he found the owner and asked if it was alright to play and asked if they had a guitar, preferably an acoustic. Tonight was his lucky night as they did *Hey this might be my chance to dazzle a couple of people.* He thought, though he knew in his heart that it was a pipe dream, what agent would be here in a bar out in London on a night like this? Well at least it would be fun.

Taking the stage, he strapped the acoustic on and patted the Mic. "Hey, my names Con and I'm you entertainment for tonight." He cleared his throat and fished out the pick he always kept in his pocket. He closed his eyes and began playing a song he wrote back in the 90's

"Thats all right, most everyday. Keep it closer than before. Make me rich, find me dead, but locked out from the morgue" He continued the song, heavy in its Grunge era roots.

As the song came to a close he smiled to himself feeling centered and calm. Music was his muse and more than a lover than any woman had been to him in all of his life. He took a bow as he finished and heard the soft clapping of the bar room.

He walked off the stage and brought back the guitar to the store room (He made a mental note of asking how much it was) . He strode over to the bar and took a seat ordering a martini and relaxing his poise for the first time of the day. He looked over to the other two who had led him here and shrugged. *Who am I to watch over someone who is nothing to many, just get your head out of the past. Nothing like that will happen again.*

[*Alec Romero]

Alec followed Violet to the pub and waited behind her as the stern looking guard at the entrance looked at her I.D. Everything seemed fine and they walked in. He followed Violet to a booth in the back and sat across from her. Resting his elbows on the table in front of him and folded his hands he looked at Violet, taking in her appearance. Her pale skin, black hair. Punk-rockish outfit, though she pulled that kind of outfit off very good. He watched as she yawned, her fangs showing in the dim lighting, they almost sparkling as she showed them.

It could now be seen that Alec had short-medium hair that was a big roughish and a small stubble seemed to be growing on his face. It looked as though he had only shaved one or two days prior to this night. His eyes were a bright blue color and reflected the odd lights from the pub. He sat there contently, listening to the music as he sat there. The waiter came to take their order moments after they had sat down. The blonde vampire ordered a cold beer. He turned towards Violet as the waiter left.

"So, Ms. Violet," He began but was interrupted when the other man introduced himself up on stage and began to play a song. He ignored him at first and was about to continue when the waiter came back over with their drinks. He nodded towards the waiter and said, "Thanks." And took a sip of his beer. He leaned back against the soft cushion of the booth's seat, resting his arms on top of the seat. He stared over at Violet, having forgotten what he had been about to say. He sighed and took another sip of his beer and listened to the music, though it wasn't that great but he couldn't complain either.

Finally he spoke again and said, "They're getting turned younger and younger these days. So fickle and frail. Naive, too." He said, though he wasn't talking about Violet, though she did seem a bit young. Alec had a sense that she could take care of herself. It was weird that she would kind of trust someone like him, who was a cold hearted bastard and his intentions were to take her home. Though, it would have been more lucky more entertaining if she had been human. "Tell me, how were you changed so young?" He asked her. She had caught his interest, though his intentions how had changed some since they had encountered each other and the other man in the park near the pond.

[*Violet Elizabeth Rosewater]

Violet sat at the booth and took in Alec's appearance as well as Con got up to sing .Alec was a rather attractive blond man. He had very nice bright blue eyes .Which where Violet's favorite eye color ."Tell me, how were you changed so young?" That question slightly threw Violet off guard , she was also surprised he was still paying attention to her. She thought of the night she was turned and her cold expressionless face became sad as some color faded from her already pale features and her eyes filled up with sadness and a bit of anger . She became a bit more shy now as she took a sip of her drink to calm herself down . "Keep it together Violet " was the thought that was running through her mind . She never told anyone , not even her dad about EVERYTHING that happened the night she was turned. "I was sixteen at the time when I was dating this guy at my school . He was very abusive in our relationship. He would hurt me and call me terrible things....." Her voice trailed off a bit as a memory of the first time he hit her flashed threw her mind. " I grew tired of getting beat. So I went to his house alone to break up with him... and he freaked out. "

" I should have had my father come with me when he asked" Violet thought . She then continued with her story " He started beating me up worse then before. He punched me in the face, smacked me ...threw my head against the wall, and I believe at one point ..he stabbed me with a kitchen knife. I was dying of blood loss and he didn't know what to do with my body so he threw me in the backyard to deal with me later." She took another sip of her drink to keep calm. " Then this women came by , I don't remember her face since I was just almost beaten to death and losing blood.I asked her, no begged her to help me . That I'd do anything to live.....so she took pity on me and turned me . Then she left " She said finishing up her story. A small tear was forming in her right eye but she wiped it away before it fell onto her face. Her expression then turned expressionless again . " And that's how I was turned ." She waited for him to say something , didn't have much to say after that . She didn't like sharing information like that with people. It made her feel weak and vulnerable.


She hated feeling that way , she didn't like showing signs of weakness. Then again who does ? She wasn't sure she wanted to tell him that she ended up killing her boyfriend while she was changed into a vampire . Maybe she was afraid of coming off crazy though vampires kill humans all the time . She was a vampire now but she still doesn't believe killing humans was okay ,even if it was for food. Now that she was done with her story she now wondered how he was turn and how old he was. She just realized that he might be hundreds or thousands years old . "What about you ?" She asked .

[Concieved D'maggio]

Although he hated to admit it, the female vampire interested him, she looked so familiar yet like a stranger. after living for as long as he had he figured that it was bound to happen that someones face from the past would pop up in the future. He eyed her from across the bar with a slight air of oprehension and curiousness. Her taste in fashion was way than in his style, but yet she pulled it off very well. Her makeup hid her face, and being the type who like natural beauty, and being very judgy he couldnt help make remarks (though in the 80s he wore so much makeup it wasnt even funny).

He shook his head and watched as her face turned serious and then somber, he couldnt help but too know and listioned into her conversation. He listioned and winced at the more explicit parts, feeling sick to his stomach at the way her ex had treated her. The part that made him even more curious was the way she was turned. An old friend long seince gone from this life was turned the same way. A somber moment passed through him as the memory ran through his head.


He shook his head slowly, a girl turned that young is sad, stuck between a girl and a woman the rest of her life. Never to experience a family and a real life. An old memory ran through of his old family and life before his change, and the events that made him the vampire he is now. He sighed and smiled to himself as an after thought *At least it hasnt been a boring life hehe* . The bar was becoming crowded and noisy and the thought of heading out crossed his mind. He looked ounce more to the two vampires and stood from the bar. He headed out the bar and hoped that the girl would be ok with him, but she was probably as old as him and could take care of herself.
