It is a cruel city. Few can find any satisfaction that isnt illegal. Its the city of Sin, the ultimate Sin. A city were vampires dwell and are not only the law enforcement, but the government officials as well. Though they live with the human, a vampire can only feed off of the humans. Humans have hardly any power to do anything. they are slaves to the city and the masters of it.
It all happened when a few witches were assigned the task to make a potion for vampires to be able to walk in the sun. It was done over a hundred years ago. Now it is a comment thing as the vampires have evolved with the help of more powerful magic from the witches and potions. Very few vampires go out at night anymore, since they had to dwell in darkness for so long.

'Too late, won't stop
Tonight I want to go deeper
Tomorrow takes it all away
Time's running out
The night is only a shell
Soon morning comes and breaks the spell
To the yesterday, to a dream

Just for tonight, we'll keep on dancing
And the city won't tell a soul
Just for tonight, the lights are shining
And our secret stays untold

These streets are mine
Tonight I'll keep on walking
Won't stop as long as the city sleeps
Don't look back once
Or you might turn around
Tonight I'll give myself to you
And our secret stays untold

Just for tonight, we'll keep on dancing
And the city won't tell a soul

Just for tonight, the lights are shining
And our secret stays untold
Just for tonight, we'll keep on dancing
And the city won't tell a soul
Just for tonight, the lights are shining
And our secret stays untold

(They can't see us now)
They can't see us now
(They won't catch us now)
They can't see us now
(They can't see us now)
They can't see us now
(They won't catch us now)
They can't see us now'

There is a harsh punishment for a vampire to love a human, or visa versa. But, what if two people me. A vampire and a human. What if they fell in love? Meeting only when it was dark and in a place so the officials, WATCHERS, couldnt find them.
But, it would be dangerous and they may have to fight with everyone in the world, just for it. Could they make it? Could they stay together through it all? Will the dangerous WATCHERS, hunters that enforce the governments laws, catch them? Would a WATCHER help the vampire?

Lunna stood behind the counter of the cafe, 'Cafe Blood'. It was designed for vampires. A place for them to get something to drink, eat, or just hang around. It was simple, something the humans used to have. Not anymore though. Not since the witches had helped the vampires over a hundred years ago. Since then the vampires have been in control, humans becoming nothing but slaves or pets. Only the strong became enough of something to live among the vampires.

Lunna gazed at the door, listening to an old IPod she had found. The song was soft and she admired both the voices. The duet was extremely old but it still fascinated her, the lowness of it. Ville Valo, the male singer had a perfect voice for his band. HIM. An odd name, but regardless, it was a good band. The female singer, from the band Mana, didnt play that much of a part in the song, but enough to make it good.
"Listening to it again?" He boss, Vladimir asked, leaning against the counter with her. She nodded, "Ya." He looked at her for a minute, his old vampire black eyes staring at her green human ones. "You know, you really shouldn't work here." He stated again, for only the millionth time. "I know. Its because I am beautiful and not afraid. I am a delicacy." she recited, as he told her this all the time.
Vladimir was an odd vampire who had helped Lunna long ago. One of the few vampires that went against most others and felt sorry for the humans. He was not only her boss but secretly a friend.
"What is the name of it again?" He asked, moving away from the counter and over to the register.
"Just for tonight." she answered, pressing the play button so it would play again.
"Thats right." he nodded, looking at the clock on the wall. "7:34 pm." He sighed as it was almost time for him to go home.
"Ya. Hey, can i get some coffee?" she asked, moving so her hip leaned against the bar.
"Sure, you have been working hard." He replied walking to the back to get this things.
"Thanks!" she called getting herself a mocha, and placing some money in the jar that the employees payed in.
Taking a sit she looked back at the door. "Sure is quite." she thought, as no one was in the cafe at the time.

It was 7:35 pm by the time Payne entered the Cafe Blood. Pushing open the door, he lifted a hand to the human girl who worked there in a sort of wave. Lunna was her name. Payne sat quietly at the bar and lifted his hand again. "The usual, Vladi."

Vladi, a name he used for the bartender, whom he had been best friends with since their childhood. Though Payne had become a WATCHER, he was still a good person...well, nosferatu, at heart. He had a strange idea that humans and vampires could still coexist peacefully, maybe even beneficially...But his hopes were not allowed to be expressed publicly, for fear the other WATCHERs would do...horrible things to humans, or even himself.

Vladimir waved to his friend. "I have to leave. Lunna, get him his usual."
Lunna nodded grabbing the 'usual' and taking it to the WATCHER. "Here you go." she smiled politely to him before moving back down to the other side of the bar, where she had stood.
A few minutes later Vladimir walked to the bar and looked to Lunna. "You know where everything is. I have to get going. You have a good night, ok." He smiled to Lunna before walking out behind the bar and looking to Payne. "You have a good night old friend. I would stay but i have things to do tomorrow." With a wave he was gone out the door.
Lunna restarted the sing, giving a loving sigh as she listened to it.

Bellona moved through the street in the signature gait that marked her as a selkie- a graceful sort of clumsiness. A prima ballerina with two left feet; a water snake slithering up a tree and not quite sure what to make of the bark. All these long years away from the water, and she still could not get the hang of walking like a human. True, she still possessed the swift, flowing movements that had seemed so beautiful in the water, but she stumbled more than anyone she had ever seen.

"Screw this....ground thing," she muttered, kicking at said ground with the toe of her boot, momentarily glad she'd decided to stop going barefoot. Admittedly, she managed to recapture some of her old gracefulness, but at the cost of torn apart feet. Lo would never be able to understand how her cousin, Ondine, went barefoot all the time....And on rocky shores, too...

People shot her odd glances, but she ignored them and pushed her way through the people. Really, what she wanted to do was get into a fight. A bloody, vicious fight, where all of her anger and frustration could be handled.

Just then, her ankle twisted underneath her, and she crumpled to the sidewalk, cursing loudly all the while.

Payne listened to the tune with his vampiric hearing, quietly picking through the thoughts in his head as he sipped at the blood red wine. Because of the potions and witches, vampires could now eat and drink things besides human blood. Payne was glad for this. It kept him from having to unneccessarily killing an innocent human. Finally, he looked up. "Lunna, why do you work here, exactly? It's so dank and miserable, plus you've got to watch out for...well, my kind."

Lunna's eyes shot up at the man then she sighed. "Well,Vladimir took me in, and its a place to stay, work, and help out. It keeps me away from the bad side of town." She paused thinking. "Plus. I might be human but i am still pretty strong and can handle things." Taking a sip of her mocha she closed her eyes until the song ended. Opening one of them she looked around for another song until she came to Temptation. Laughing a little in her mind she pressed play. 'Why not.' she thought for a second before looking back to the man. "So can i get you anything else, mister..." she paused, not remembering his name even though Vladamir had said it a few times.

Payne laughed. "Loren Gregory...You can call me Payne. And yes, another glass of wine would be nice, Miss Lunna."

She paused, not really wanting to know how he knew her name. "Ok, Mister Payne." she replied, her tone soft. Kneeling down under the counter she got the bottle. Standing back up straight she poured him another glass. "there you go."

Payne smiled and sipped at the beverage. "Thank you. You're truly a fine person in this dark world."

She smiled a little then moved a little closer to him to make conversation. "So, your a WATCHER aren't you?" she asked, tilting her head to the side a little.

Payne nodded, sighing. "Yes, unfortunately. It's a tough job...Why do you ask?" He turned to face her, his bright yellow eyes looking into her own.

She thought, unsure of the answer she should give. "Well...." she paused then looked around. "You look like one, yet you don't act like one." she finally replied then held up one finger telling him to hang on a second. Walking over she got her mocha and sipped it, taking it back with her as she walked back to him.

He nodded. "Understandable. Most WATCHERs look down their noses, even at each other. I guess, though, that my dreams just won't allow me to do that..."

"Whats your dream?" she asked then realized her 'straw' ((chocolate straw XD)) was melting at the top. Reaching over to the coffee stuff she grabbed another one, putting it in her mocha and taking another sip

Payne looked at her. "...I want to see a world where humans and nosferatu(the term for vampyre) can exist peacefully, even side by side, instead of one above the other...But if one of my other WATCHERs were to hear that...Oh boy, the trouble I'd be in."

She laughed and nodded. "Wow. Your the one how is rare." she stated leaning forwards against the bar, putting most of her weight on it. "I think that would be nice. A place were everyone could live together." After a second the began to wonder something. "So, if you think like that, then why did you become a WATCHER?"

"I don't remember. But it doesn't matter. I'm one now. It's a little sad...I wish I weren't, but it's the only way to make my dreams a reality, you know?" Payne sighed and sat up, draining the glass. "A position of higher power will allow me to make it completely to the top. And then, I can change everything..."

"Oh, I understand that." She nodded, then looked at his glass. "Another?" she asked setting her mocha to the side as she gazed at him.

After a nice read at the library, The creation of the world and all its creatures, Gregory walked through the streets, listening in on the conversations of those who walked by, breathing in the sweet air, admiring the sun.
"Beautiful day today." He decided he would head for the cafe. He was quite bored and the vampires in there usually had good stories to tell, maybe even some gossip about the Watchers.
Reaching the doors, he could already smell the fresh aroma of freshly made coffee and pastries. He walked in, grabbed a newspaper from the rack at the front of the Cafe, and sat down at a booth and began "reading". Listening, he believed he over heard a watcher and human conversing. About peace. Glancing above his paper, he waved his hand in the air to call the waitresses attention over. "Miss, excuse me. A coffee. Pronto." He gave a quick smile to the girl and then glanced over at the Watcher. He hated them. He also knew that he wouldn't be in here much longer if the Watcher decided to "stick around".

Lunna looked to the man and nodded, getting his coffee, grabbing all side condiments if he wanted to add anything to it. "Here you go, sir." Setting down the coffee she set the creamer and sugar and such down. "Here is you would like additives." She added before bowing slightly and walking back behind the counter, moving her mocha now on the shelve underneath it.
