City Night Wanderer

[Espena]

(Its fine)

"First off, before we do question time, can you stop looking down on me like I am smaller than you, I am not smaller than you, I might not be as old, or know as much as you, but I am not smaller than you." Escia smiled and looked at her.

She let her eyes drift once more before bringing them onto her eyes. "I am Escia, and no I do not know the city, mainly because I have never been to one, I live in a lake under the falls, so yes the sea horse part is correct, partly." She stops on her words a little, letting them sink into this vampire.

Her own eyes caught a glimpse of begging in the others eye. What was going on, through this vampires mind. Escia wished she knew, the rain and the age of this vampire made it near impossible for her to read her thoughts. She didn't even want to try, a fight with this women might cause fatal on her side.

Charlie looked at her and her chin dropped a little "Wh...what...? Escia...?" She put her hands on her temple and closed her eyes a little. "This is not happening..." She walked away a little and turned her back to Escia. "Shit..."

Charlie just stood like that for a while, with her eyes closed. This can't be... It just can't... Suddenly she straighten her body again and looked up in the sky. No... don't think like that... There must be alot whos name is Escia... she swollowed a little. I hope...

Charlie turned around again and looked at the girl "What's the name of your parents? Are they still alive? Which was what." Charlie did start to get a little desperate, and it really did show. "Seriously... you've gotta tell me."

[Espena]

Escia placed herself silently on the lip of the rooftop. Her mind racing as to why this women seemed to change instantly from knowing her name. "My name is unique, so unless I have been clonned there will be no one left with it. But why the interest?" She laid back a little, her head over the side of the building, and looked at the busy city below her.
"I wounder, why are you so interested? Are you going to kill me if I tell you? Or something."

Her mouth twisted into a small smile and she knew that she was annoying this women, even if just slightly.
"My turn to ask questions."
She meant her words, and the tone was meant even more. She had a slight tinge to the right side of her thigh though she did not show it.

It was only when she sat up that sdhe realised her leg had not stopped bleeding. It was annoying, to say the least, to have her blood trickling onto the slate roof. She placed a cold hand to her thigh and it slowly began to stop. She was now annoyed with herself that she gave up on trying to annoy this vampire and just answered the questions.
"My parents? Well my mother....what can I say about her? She was a valeria if that helps. I do not know about my farther, I can not remember him, then again having him removed from my memory does not help.

[Taroxina]

"Why I ask these questions are none of your buisness." Charlie said and turned around to face Escia again. "I just need to know who lives in my city." She held her head up high, but then sighed a little and looked down. "But no... I wont kill you if you tell me... And usually, it's the other way, but yeah..."

Charlie looked around a little and then walked up to the girl again. "Did your mother tell you the name of your father?" She looked at her with calm eyes. "If you are who I think you are... you should be here. But I need to know their names. And I need them now."

[Espena]

"Now Now there is no need to be snotty about your 'business.'" Escia let out a long snarl, her eyes were now the colour of rubys. "Everyone has the right to be here, as any." A smile twisted onto her face and she realised that she could also play this game. She let her eyes cast dark circles on her lids. She looked at the sky, the stars shone in the sign of a panther. Escia knew nothing of her family, nothing which she needed to repeat, but if this women did know who they were then the panther would be the biggest clue.

She laid back again and sighed heavily. Why are you so interested in my family? I don't seem to be in need of yours." She smiled jokingly and let her darkend eye lids fall heavily closed.

[Taroxina]

Charlie looked at the girl. She now knew that she would give up easely. She's smart... just as he was... she thought and looked around a little. "The reason... that I'm interested in your family...?" she sighed a little and then looked at the girl again. "You father... is possibly my older brother."

Charlie sat down next to the girl and looked over the city "Does the name of Marcus Northban say anything to you?" she looked at the girl again, with a very serious yet calm face. "I need to know... if you're his daughter. That's why I'm asking these questions."

[Espena]

Escia shook her head, not answering the question, not wanting to. It was something completely different known to her and she hated it. All her life she had grown up not knowing things, all the time she had spent to try and leave those times behind, and yet this women brought her back to that situation quicker than the light of the moon.

She pushed herself from the wall once more, she did not want to be near a women she did not know for to long. Escia had to admit it, she was scarred of this women...her aunt... that sounded strange.
A long hiss rolled from her tounge as she look at the darkend area on the outskrirts of the city. That was her home, not here. Nothing was going to make her stay in this city for too long.
She craved the water from the falls, the mist which surrounded her everytime she entered the clearing. Something about that made her seem magical, she did not need to be told where to belong.

Her boots clicked against the rooftop as she span around. "Your brother was my father..."
Her words trailed in mid sentance, she could not bring herself to say his name. It was not that long ago, in her eyes, that he had left her and her mother, and that she could not forgive to easily.

[Taroxina]

Charlie looked at her with calm eyes. "Yeah..." She stood up again and straighten her body a little. She looked at Escia again, but it looked like she didn't wanna talk anymore about it. "Let me know if you find him..." she said and then turned towards the end of the building.

"And, oh... don't forget your sai. I do believe it's still in that slayer over there." she said and looked over to the other building. She looked at the girl again and then just steped out in the air. She fell down to the ground and landed like a cat on her feet. She let the cool breeze flow through the air and then she began to walk away. The sun was about to come in almost an hour, and she had to get inside.

[Espena]

Her eyes glared at this women, her words spinning in her mind. ...if you din him... did that mean he was no longer here?
"Excuss me" Her words were softer and a lot clearer than before. The women was gone before she could finish, and Escia knew why. The sun.

Escia's mouth twisted into a smile when the women had mentioned her sai, she had indeed forgot about it. She calmly shut her eyes and awaited sliently for the sai to appear back in her boots. Her smile fell as she relaxed and her eyes grew hungry. It was too late. Like this women she had to leave here. The city was not like the waters, she could not go into the light, and she doubted that any water would be nearby for her to go to.

Shaking her longhair out of her face she walked around the building trying to se the women, it failed. She was already out of sight.
Escia let her tongue push against her cheek in thought, and it was only then that she realised the taste of that womens blood was still lingering.

It was only then that she rose hr hand to her soft skin and thought about what to do. She only knew parts of this city and only one place that was safe from the light if day, was that women heading there? It was worth a chance, was it not?

Escia madeup her mind to take the roof tops that night. It was safer than the floor and hardly anyone would realise her being there. She took to, letting her mind take her to her destination, not really thinking about where to go. Out and over the rooftops she fled carefully at first but then not really paying attention to her surroundings to notice anythign that would harm her.

Finally she reached the end building, the only one that stood on the outskirts of the city. It was nothing much, just bricks and rubble, but this building had a meaning to her. The family in which she had watched over used to live here. The rubble kept the sun out and if, for some reason it managed to seep through the solid concrete walls then the winding steps down to underneath was the perfect place to do.

She landed comfortably on the grassy verge before taking a run to the house. She was just intime to catch the first glimpse of sunlight wash over the city. She missed that sight so much, only in the court could she watch it rise over the hills, the fake sun, her queen had called it. Nothing was fake about this one. The burning sensation came shortly after and she had to drag herself away, down in the night-like cellar for yet another day.

[Taroxina]

Charlie got to her dark appartment a few minutes before the sun came up. She closed and locked the door when she got in and started to undress. She never took away the thick curtains from the window, and she never let any sunlight in through them. She yawned a little, stretched her body and then went into the bathroom. She started to fill the bathtub with hot water and put her hair up with two sticks before she lied down in the tub. "Mmm...... This is heaven..." she laughed to herself.

A while later, she got up from the tub and let the water run down the pipe. She took a towel and dried her body. Then, she went to bed and fell asleep at once.
