The Dark Gift

Blade

I chuckled. "But you showed him," I told her with a smirk, picking up a bowling ball for myself.

SPOILER: Click to show

Name: Ivan Padilla
Age: 184
Race: Vampire
Personality: Sarcastic, selfish, loud, hot-headed, flirty, intelligent.
Bio: When Ivan was a human he heard of the vampire clans in his city and he was immediately fascinated by their lifestyle. He searched for them and when he was 20 he found them. They were feeding on a few humans on the woods and Ivan told them about his wish, he wanted to become one of them. The leader granted his wish but only after torturing him insanely and Ivan thought they were going to leave him to die and if they would have waited a few more minutes to change him he would have died. Then they left. He laid in the woods for a few days as the transformation happened. On his first day as a vampire he was so thirsty, so weak and that was the day his younger brother, Anthony, found him. Ivan was egoistic, he thought of his own survival and he drank Anthony's blood. He was going to kill him but accidentally turned him into a vampire instead.

Truda

I shrugged. "Let's bowl," I told him with a wide grin. I went first, throwing my bowling ball elegantly. Too bad it was just an awful throw in disguise. I frowned as I only got one pin down.

[Callie]

Blade

"So you might not get a 300, but maybe you'll have a good time?" I suggested, bowling down the lane. I hardly saw the ball while it whizzed down the lane and knocked over only four pins. "Or neither of us will get a 300." I didn't bother to look at the speed; I had the feeling both Truda and I bowled at a much faster MPH than any of the mortals in here.

[alex]

Truda

"Thank Goddess. You suck, too," I said with a grin and then grabbed my ball as it was my turn. I did a little bit better this time, knocking down two pins while a third one wobbled dangerously.

Name: Mikah Tarov
Age: 22 years old
Race: Mortal
Personality: Bold, sarcastic, daredevil, short-tempered, impulsive, disagreeable, fighter, independent.
Bio: Mikah had a normal life growing up, for the most part. When she was younger, she was somewhat distant with her nose always in some book about fantastic things that weren't real. Some called obsessed; others said she had an overactive imagination. Still others said she wished the monsters in the stories were real, so her life would be more exciting. In all honesty, Mikah just preferred the monsters to her boring reality. Everything was always the same, a boring ritual to be repeated the same way every day. That wasn't how Mikah wanted things to be. She craved adventure, excitement. One day, when she was fifteen, she got it, though not in the form she'd wanted. Walking home from school one day with her best friend, Sienna, Mikah had to go into a gas station to pee really quick, and Sienna decided to wait outside. When Mikah came back outside, Sienna was nowhere to be seen. Mikah looked for her for a few minutes, then discovered her in a nearby forest, paper-white and with two small circles in her neck. Mikah ran home, but never told anyone about Sienna, and she was instead reported as missing. From that day on, Mikah has researched vampires thoroughly, and she now carries around the things necessary to kill or maim a vampire; she doesn't leave home without them.

Blade

When the third pin wobbled, I walked onto the aisle or whatever you called it where the pins stood and jumped. The third pin fell over.

Mikah

I walked out of my house and hugged the leather jacket to me. Hopefully this thing would at least be a good party. I had a feeling it would be, though. If I didn't think it would be, I wouldn't go, simple as that.

[alex]

Truda

"Oh, yay!" I threw my hands in the air and jumped of joy. "Thank you," I smiled widely at him. "That was so sweet. And it does not count as cheating." I nodded.

Ivan

I leaned against the tree, my arms folded over my chest. I kicked some leaves out of boredom. Where were all the mortals today? I felt my fangs stinging and I ran my tongue over them. They cut my tongue, just a little, but I just sighed.

[Callie]

Blade

I wrinkled my nose at the "sweet" comment, but went to bowl anyways and shook my head. I didn't like to be thought of as "swet". "No. No, it doesn't," I said, knocking over three pins.

Mikah

I passed the park on my way, then stopped beside the pizzeria, just for a moment. Pizza smelled really good right now. But any stops would delay me from getting to the party, so I walked on, throwing the jacket on.

[alex]

Truda

I smirked slightly. He didn't look amused. I shrugged it off, those old vampires were usually grumpy. "So, what was your human life like?" I asked.

Ivan

My head turned slightly as a new smell reached me. Perfume... I looked around the tree and saw a girl walking straight toward this path. My fangs were aching like crazy now. I turned around and casually walked away from the path, knowing that she'd walk past me.

[Callie]

Blade

I shrugged. "Not as exciting as this one."

OOC: I've run out of random posts for Mikah. xD Please continue.

[alex]

Truda

"No?" I replied. "Well, guess you should be happy that immortality doesn't bore you."

Ivan

A few moments later she walked past me, my eyes flickered as I watched her take a left turn, into a lonely street. It was perfect. I stalked after her, crouching down into a more hunting position. As soon as I turned the corner, as well, I hissed. She didn't notice anything. Then I lunged for her.

[Callie]

Blade

"Oh, trust me, I am," I said with a smile.

Mikah

I bit back a scream and elbowed the guy in the gut. What the fuck?

[alex]

Truda

I tilted my head to the side. "What do you do all day then?"

Ivan

"Hello, darling," I hissed and smiled at her, exposing my fangs. I knew that she was trying to hurt me, but I didn't even feel it. I grabbed her shoulders and jerked her in to a standing position as I crouched down, waiting for the moment when she would attempt to run. They always did. The hunt was the thrilling part. "You got nowhere left to run. Nowhere left to hide."

[Callie]

Blade

I shrugged. "Hunt. Sometimes I read. Research. Kill. It varies on the day."

Mikah

When he didn't even flinch, I realized I wasn't dealing with some crazy rapist human guy; this was a vampire. I knew he was expecting me to run. Instead, I drew the gun loaded with wooden bullets out of my purse and shot him with it, in one swift motion. And then I ran.

[alex]

Ivan

I'd grinned at her as she drew the gun. Stupid mortals, they always though that their guns could harm. Of course, I didn't think she'd loaded it with wooden bullets either. "Mother of--" I screamed and stumbled back as the bullet hit my arm. I managed to get support against a wall and I'd stopped screaming. The arm that she'd hit was shaking like crazy and the pain didn't get any less. I reached over to the wound and quickly dug my fingers into it, biting back a scream. After a few moments I felt the bullet and I grabbed it and pulled it out, throwing at far away. I clutched my wounded arm and scowled. Since when did little girls walk around with guns loaded with wooden bullets?

Truda

I nodded. "Yeah, that does sound pretty boring. I'm not gonna lie." I grabbed my bowling ball and tossed it again. Four pins. I was getting better.

[Jadey!]

Callista

I mingled with the guests and then looked around picking out the scent of those I didnt know and debating which ones I could make disappear easily. I stopped for a moment and looked around for Alexander an sighed when I spotted him talking.

Ryan

"I say we hit up a rave after this." I smirked

[Callie]

Blade

"Well, the killing's not," I said, flashing her a grin.

Mikah

I shook slightly as I continued towards the party, a little quicker than before. Running into a vampire and having him try to eat you shook you up a little, I guess. I wondered if this was relatively how Sienna had felt, then shook my head at myself for bringing up the past.

[alex]

Mia

"Agree," I said with a quick nod. "A rave is sounding pretty good right now."

Alexander

I noticed Callista looking at me, so I looked back and raised my eyebrow slightly; wondering if she wanted to tell me something.

Truda

"Obviously," I said with a big grin. "Jocks are the most fun to hunt... they think they're so badass. It feels like I'm helping out every nerd in history."

Ivan

Thank God that vampires didn't bleed. I took a look at the hole in my denim jacket. I could fix that. It would have been a mother f-er if there had been blood as well. I still felt like my arm had been run over by a train but... I just had to find someone (that didn't carry a gun) to feed on and I'd be fine. I looked up to see if the human girl was still there, but she was nowhere in sight.
I had to feed. Now. I stumbled toward the direction the girl was heading, not thinking about finding her again. But maybe there would be people if I went far enough. So I kept walking.

[Callie]

Blade

"That's true," I said with a laugh. "I'll kill... well, just about anything, really. Except for gorgeous women. So... if you were a human, you'd be out of the running," I told her seriously.

Mikah

I managed to get myself to stop shaking before I reached the door and got outside. I obviously wasn't dressed for this party, but I didn't particularly care. I was here to have fun, maybe kiss a stranger or two, eat some food, and that was about it. Fitting in wasn't my forte.

[Jadey!]

Callista

"Im bored and hungry already." I mouthed towards him and then smiled "I'm stepping out for a time."

Ryan

"I knew you'd agree." I smirked and then grabbed two drinks off a butlers tray.

[alex]

Truda

I cocked my head to the side, letting an 'aww' escape my lips. I bit my bottom lip slightly, maybe I hurt his man-ego by acting like he's all sweet. It had appeared so earlier. "That's nice," I said instead.

Ivan

It took me a long time until I stumbled on to a long lane of houses. It looked really Wisteria Lane like as I let me eyes travel across the different houses. I smelled flesh, but from where? I knew it must have taken me at least 15 minutes to get there, especially after being sidetracked by smelling a rabbit. It had been way to small to help much, but at least I could walk straight without clutching my arm in pain. As I passed a car my head turned as I saw lights. And music. It was far away, but I could still hear it. I begun to walk faster, my mouth watering.
It took me another few minutes to reach the house. Teenagers were walking in and out, there were people passed out on the grass outside it and a couple making out against a tree. A typical mortal fest. I corrected my posture before walking inside.

Alex

I nodded at her and shrugged. She could do whatever she wanted.

Mia

I grabbed a drink out of his hand and took a sip. "Good stuff," I commented.

[Callie]

Blade

I laughed at the look on her face. "I don't mind if you're flattered. Just don't call me sweet. Or cute."

Mikah

Eventually, I found myself in the kitchen, where I proceeded to get a drink and start to down it. It was liquor; I knew that much.

[alex]

Ivan

"Hello, gorgeous," I said to some blond girl who walked by me. Nah, too skinny. I walked into the kitchen, there should be some drunk little teenager in there. It's only logical. Two girls were talking by a counter, but before I could reach them they went into another room. And it was crowded. I sighed. What does a man have to do to get some food around here?!

Truda

I nodded. "Okay, not sweet or cute. Got it."

[Callie]

Blade

I smiled and sat down. "I'm bored of bowling," I announced with a sigh. After so many years, you'd think I'd have a longer attention span, but no.

Mikah

I turned around when I heard a sigh, and my eyes went wide. I whirled back around, hoping he hasn't seen me. What was the vampire doing here?!

[alex]

Truda

"Hungry?" I asked with a grin.

Ivan

I looked out the window. It would be too easy to just grab one of those kids who were passed out. That was no fun. I felt a wave of perfume hit me and I turned around. There was a girl standing with her back against me. I didn't smile. Instead I furrowed my eyebrows together as I observed her. The smell was familiar. For once I felt insecure and it took me a few moments before I took a step toward her, then I froze when I placed her scent. It was that stupid girl who'd shot me!

[Callie]

Blade

"Not at the moment," I said, patting my stomach. "I'm still full of librarian."

Mikah

I whirled around when I heard someone step toward me. The vampire, of course. I just looked at him, my drink in my hand. "Back so soon?" I asked quietly.

[Jadey!]

Ryan

I nodded and smiled "Mother always said to take the good stuff."

Callista

I twirled on my heel and stepped outside in my hurry I caught my dress on the door and swore.

[alex]

Truda

I nodded. "Well, then we much search for other types of entertainment. Though I'm not sure what would be entertaining enough for you."

Ivan

I could have snapped her neck. No one would even notice as they'd just think she was passed out. Yet I didn't. Then a group of people walked into the room, my vampire speed wouldn't go unnoticed anymore. Finally, I looked straight at the girl. "Well, your aim isn't the best," I replied and subconciously rubbed my hurt arm.

Mia

I laughed. "I bet."

[Callie]

Blade

I chuckled. "I don't, either," I said, pressing the "end game" button. "Lead the way, though. Maybe we could do something that entertains you instead."

Mikah

"Thanks for the tip. I'll work on that first chance I get," I said warily, very grateful for the crowd of people that had suddenly walked in.

[alex]

Truda

"I'm afraid I'm very easily amused," I told him, walking out of the bowling place. "I find funny things in the most boring things."

Ivan

I smiled, not having to force it despite not feeling very comfortable. I'd done it so many times that it was like blinking, it just happened. And I may also add that I'd perfected it by now. Simply dazzling. Though my eyes were still locked on her, they were hard and ice cold. "You really have to re-think your country's moral standards. Little girls walking around with a revolver. Guns are more dangerous than me... or at least more common."

[Callie]

Mikah

I rolled my eyes at him. "I'm not a little girl. Besides, have you seen our government? They have the shittiest morals ever."

Blade

I just grinned at her. "Either way. Up to yo, my dear."
