Cold night in Seattle (Open)

[Katherine Kennedy]

Katherine walked down the cold streets of Seattle, looking around frantically, paranoid by something, she didn’t know what it was though. Surprisingly there was still people out on the streets at eleven o’clock at night. Sighing angrily at the crowds of people she kept walking, cursing herself for not picking a smaller town. 'Oh let’s go to a big city, you can kill and it would seem normal. Of course I couldn’t just I don’t know, travel to the city during night and kill I had to live here.' She kept walking and took a sharp turn down a dark alley while the snow was still falling down.

After walking deeper down the alley and saw small groups of humans walk by, their sweet scent came off of them in powers bursts following the wind. Katherine took a deep breath and sat down, she had to keep control of herself. Last thing she wanted was a mass killing spree and having to leave the city and probably the state as well. She heard Forks was a nice cloudy place to live but she just had an odd feeling about going there even to visit.

While sitting she started to do some people watching as they walked by, she was wearing moderate clothing like a black coat and had a pair of black boots. She would have called herself a goth too if it wasn't for her light coloured blue jeans, which were getting wet from the snow. She sat back and waited to see a lone person walk by or something interesting.

[Nari Garner]

Nari was lying on top of a medium-sized building, just looking up at the stars. Or at least, where most of them should have been. Darn light pollution. Her super eyesight was helpful in seeing stars when most humans couldn't, but it wasn't good at seeing through clouds, especially the big ones that hung over Seattle. There was another reason why she had picked this roof to lay on, a reason that was shown as yet another snowflake landed on her face, on her right cheek. She loved snow, although more so in the air than on the ground. The flakes looked so pretty and unique as they floated down from the sky, and from her horizantal position, there were no good words to describe the sight.

She was breathing too, letting the sweet, tasty smell of the humans move through her. She wasn't thirsty at the moment, filled by her hunt before the airplane flight she'd taken from California. She probably wouldn't need to hunt again until the next day. Still, the smell was delicious.

Sometimes she regretted killing to live as a monster. Although, she never regretted meeting Leilani and Cail. They'd become her second mothers, although more like big sisters. After her real mom had died, and she'd run away, she was always alone. Now, even though she was alone again, Nari knew her creators would always be there for her. Literally, always. Just one of the perks of being immortal.

Suddenly another, sweeter smell entered her nostrils. She froze. Speaking of immortals, another vampire was nearby. But was it friend or foe? She couldn't be sure. In a quarter of a second she was on her feet. In another, she was peering over the edge of the roof in the direction the smell was coming from. There, a lone woman sat off to the side of a street. What was she doing out at eleven o'clock at night? Well, vampires never slept. The dark haired lady was probably out hunting, and she didn't seem to be having much luck.

Nari figured she might as well head down and talk to the woman. She had nothing else to do. The girl checked around an alley for people who could see her, then gracefully dropped down onto the sidewalk, barely making a sound. She walked slowly over to the woman, feeling suddenly nervous. How did one talk to another vampire? What if the vampire didn't like her or attacked her? Nari braced herself, and said in a quiet voice, "Umm, hi."
