Name
β€œI am called Cheveyo and that is the only name that you need to know.”

Nickname
β€œI suppose I don't mind too much when people call me Chevy.”

Age
β€œI am delightfully one hundred and fifty-eight years old with quite a few centuries left for me to go.”

Race
β€œFaerie, of course. Don't bother with the homosexual teasing – I would like to let you know that I do have a body guard that would be quite happy to drain you of your life essence and mangle your body if I am unhappy.”

Powers
β€œMy, my. Curious, aren't we? Well, I have basic Fae powers. Lumikinesis is a rather prominent ability in my repertoire. It means that I can generate luminous energy that I can use to 'blast' someone, knock them unconscious, sense other Faeries, and quite a number of other things. I can also read minds – Except for Vampires. Unless I've had some of their blood. I can manipulate the growth of plant life as well and grow them from my body.”

Sexuality
β€œStrictly heterosexual. I do plan on having children in the near future.”

Fears
β€œI will admit to a fear of dying without having children – You'd be surprised at how many women are 'turned off' by my nature and my choice of companionship. I want to leave behind a legacy and an empire. I also have a rather irrational fear of oranges. That actually is because of a curse laid on me by a young 'Witchling' who thought it would be quite hilarious. She was powerful for her age. A prodigy. The curse could not be removed. Not with Fae magic or her death. So here I am fearing the color orange and the wretched fruit. It really isn't fair because I used to love oranges and it looks absolutely amazing on me.”

Secrets
β€œI have many. If I had to choose two or three to put here for information's sake...I suppose I'd mention my fear of oranges. Also that I am a Faerie. I use my magic to conceal my scent and true nature from Vampires who would love to shove a straw in my neck and drain me like a little chocolate milkshake as well as from Witches who would harvest my organs because their magic is inferior in every way. Not to mention that the Cacciatori wouldn't mind seeing my head on a pike. I don't do headless. Not cute. Hrm. People assume that I am smitten with Miss Astrid, but that's hardly the case. She's a dear friend and a beautiful woman – Much like a sister or dare I say, a mother. Besides, she can't bear children so she's useless to me in that area.”

Personality
β€œWell. Let's just say that I am not a very nice person. I don't interact with people that I don't believe to be of any use to me and there aren't many people that I find to be useful to me. Now – I do believe that I should mention that I love to manipulate people for my own gain and exploit the weaknesses and strengths of others. All for my own gain, of course. I am a very organized man and I seek power in this world and the next. I will explain what I mean by that at a later date. Now, why do I do what I do? Because, I wish to build a legacy for my future posterity. I didn't have much growing up and I've busted my ass for all that I have. I deserve the finer things in life and I will stop at nothing to get what I deserve and to make sure that my children will have all that they deserve as well. I love to make deals with people, but only if I will gain something in the end. If you haven't gotten the picture yet, let me spell it out for you: I. Am. Very. Greedy. Don't look at me that way; I'm not completely heartless. I do have plenty of friends. A handful of friends. Some friends. Okay, I have a single friend not including the animals. I am much like Astrid in the fact that I don't like attaching myself to people, least of all humans. I've felt the pain of losing people that mean the whole world to you and it's a troubling and distracting feeling that hinders you. I don't need to be hindered at this point in my life or any point thenceforth. Why is it that I make an exception for Astrid? She's tough – I doubt she'll be dying any time soon. And she saved me from the Cacciatori. I owe her everything. Now, I hate to sound like a close-minded fool, but even I have to admit that I cannot stand humans. I hate them and I feel that they are the absolute most foolish race to grace the face of this realm. I've never seen a race fight amongst itself so vehemently. For what? Worthless trinkets and green paper? With how much death paper has brought to humans, I can see why it beats rock. Also, I know of no other race that destroys its own habitat on a daily basis. It's mind boggling. I remember the days when the air was crisp and breathable. Now you can't inhale without taking in chemical fumes and smog from these ugly things on wheels that they call cars. Dreadful. They're also highly uneducated in our lore. Well, that's not their fault. We are a bit secretive. But it amazes me how gullible they are. I am unashamed to admit that I dislike humans – Unlike Vampires and Werewolves and Witches and other sorts, I cannot be accused of having human ancestry or having once been one of those creatures. I cannot understand the fascination that certain creatures have with humans. Their behavior isn't uncommon at all to that of every other creature. It's not as if being a particular race means that you absolutely have to act a certain way. Personality and habit are not hereditary, you fools. Now – Vampires, I do tend to like despite the fact that many of them are as poorly educated as humans and ten times as savage for no other reason than 'just because'. They are fascinating creatures indeed. I've witnessed many sweet saints turn into savage sinners because they were given power. But it's not them that I bother with. I like the intelligent ones. Why? Because I love a good challenge and a certain danger factor in my life. Now, I don't mind pushing around the more dimwitted of the strong race, but I prefer business interactions with those who know what they're speaking about. And yes – Generally everything I do is for business. I have no time in my life right now for pleasure.”

Place of Origin
β€œI was born in the Fae Realm. Where else would I have been born?”

History
β€œNot quite as long ago as it would seem, my family's tribe moved from the Fae realm to this human realm to escape a great war that had broken out over the fight for the throne. You see, while I boast a disdain for humans and claim them to be stupid, I have to admit that there are certain areas where many Faeries are...well. They could do better to educate and refine themselves. Now then. We lived among the Native Americans, preferring them to others because they were most like us. They actually worshiped us. It was nice. Anyways, I was a rather happy child. One of twenty-eight. I was the youngest and the smallest of the bunch and constantly teased for my ever increasing curiosity. I will admit that once upon a time I was enchanted with humans and wished to know more about them. That changed when the Cacciatori attacked. They came with the Americans to drive the Native Americans out of their ancestral homes. My family would not fight back because they didn't want to reveal themselves. But the Cacciatori already knew. They already knew and they slaughtered my family. I took out as many of the non-Cacciatori humans as I could but the Hunters of the Immortal eventually cornered me and I was gravely injured. I was prepared to die but I wasn't going out without a fight! I was hilariously outmatched though and just before the killing blow was dealt...I heard a great deal of screaming. I felt blood spatter onto my flesh. As I opened my eyes, I saw before me the Viking woman with a small boy at her side. She knelt down beside me with her fangs bared, blood decorating her and giving her the appearance of Freya herself. I had to admit that I was terrified. But she simply picked me up and carried me off into the twilight. When I woke, I learned that her name was Astrid and her progeny was Basil. They had been passing through when they witnessed the slaughter. She admitted that she wouldn't have given a damn if it hadn't been for the scent of sweet Faerie blood coating the air like a thick blanket of sugar. That and she spotted a few Cacciatori that she had bones to pick with. You know, she never once said she was sorry for my family's slaughter. I mean, it was not her fault at all. In any way. Nor could she have stopped it because they were all dead before she arrived. But I didn't realize how much I would appreciate her sincerity until a few decades had passed. People would always apologize to one another for tragedies that they had absolutely no hand in causing. I grew to find it silly. Now, I will admit that were it not for Astrid I would not be who I am today. I was a young man of fifteen when she came across me and she has been as a mother and a sister to me since then. Basil, a brother and good friend. I learned to keep humans out of the world of Immortals unless I trusted them with my life. Even then, I was to question myself and scrutinize my decision. Would I be able to deal with the pain of the human's death? No. I was taught to never attach myself to them. Their lives were fleeting and meaningless. She was cold while at the same time warm. I know it sounds silly, but I mean that she was warm in the sense of protecting her own. She was more fierce at those times. I had made a deal of sorts with her when I had recovered from my injuries. I told her that she and Basil could drink from me all the live-long-day so long as they would provide me with protection. That's how it started. Eventually, I began to accumulate wealth and started various deals of the shady sort. She became my business partner as much as my protector and soon I could see that she looked to me as family the way I looked to her. Over the years, I gathered all the knowledge that I could. I gathered wealth as well. Astrid forced me to learn how to defend myself properly in the case that she would not be there to defend me. She trusted me with the secrets of the weaknesses she knew Immortals had, though she was only familiar with the weaknesses of Werewolves and Vampires and Witches. Easy enough. She was a harsh taskmaster and has only grown in ferocity since the death of Basil. I advised her against remaining in Rose City, much less Italy itself for talk of Werewolves and Vampires alike turning up dead, but she was sure that we could handle ourselves. One minute Basil is there and the next he is gone. When we went to look for him...We found him dead. She went back to the airheaded Vampirette and accepted her offer of joining the Coven, though lying through her teeth about numerous things. I hold no personal disdain for Werewolves and I'm rather...excited to see how these Vampires do. Who would have thought a Coven would merge with a Pack? Under one roof! Simply fascinating.”

Anything Else?
-Chev is obsessed with obtaining knowledge and wealth.
-He owns nine different homes and over one thousand acres of land across the globe.

So begins...

Time: 3:00 P.M
Date: Friday, 5 December 2013
Location: Rose City and Moon Forest
What's Going On?: This is the day where the vampires are moving moving from their house in Rose City to the wolves' house in the Moon Forest. The Cacciatori is getting closer and closer to the vampires' house only to find that they are too late to capture and kill the immortals.

In collaboration with Miss Nomer


For the past week, Genevieve along with the other vampires have been packing up most, if not all of their possessions. While most might be upset over the move, Ginny was a little more... open to the idea of moving in with the dogs. The young vampire packed up the last box of her belongings, all being her journals of what she has seen and experienced for the past 120 years of her life. She made sure that she had gotten every single one of them, knowing that if she left one of them especially one of her older ones it would only lead the hunters one step closer to find the coven and then that much closer to finding the pack only a few miles away from the city in some sort of "house" in the middle of the woods. To be completely honest, Ginny believed that it was going to be a shack in comparison to the coven's large gray mansion which was right at the end of the small Roman city.

The blonde put the box on the floor along with the other several boxes before picking three of them up and walking into the hallway, her small heels hitting the wooden flooring before she cleared her throat and speaking to the others. Her voice wasn't loud but it was pretty high pitched, meaning that it could be heard from almost any room in their large house if she spoke a bit louder than she was used to. "Um, guys. We have about five minutes before we should get going." Genevieve then walked down the spiral staircase to the front door. She was going to leave the boxes there and wait for everyone else but, she felt a bit obligated to go ahead of time to make sure that the wolves weren't planning anything.

She was one step out of the door with the sun shinning on her long blonde hair. Before stopping, the last time she left for the woods without telling anyone she was yelled at for about an hour about how stupid and dangerous that was. Which ended up with her having tears in her eyes, her hiding in her room watching old Disney movies, and making her sister come in to comfort her. Something, she actually really enjoyed. It was a long time since the last time her sister actually stopped acting like her leader and acted like the young girl's older sister. The young girl walked back inside and sat on one of the cardboard boxes, letting out a childish moan.

Mariette has opted to leave behind or destroy most of her things, save for what she deems to be the necessities. She didn't have an excessive amount of things to begin with, anyway, never the sort to be horribly sentimental about holding on to things, and unlikely to see the 'keeping it in case there comes a time to use it' point of view on the matter. Thus, she had a minimal amount of packing to do, which freed up her time to ensure that everything else is running smoothly. This day is, to be frank, the absolute latest that they can afford to leave their house, which they know is not quite as secret a location as it once was. On one hand, she'd like not to dwell too much on the fact. On the other, it is somewhat hard not to; the Cacciatori have been occupying more than their fair share of her thoughts ever since she found Winona dead with that statuette. She's never really been the type to feel completely at ease, or to believe that everything will work itself out. Thus, her mind had been running possibilities for the past few days. There's a reason that she was willing to negotiate an alliance with the werewolves of the area, and it has everything to do with her concern for the coven. Not that most of them can't handle themselves perfectly well- most have more experience than she in such things. Except for Genevieve, of course, but that is another problem unto itself.

One that, in fact, brings itself to mind when she looks hears a familiar moan from out in the hallway. Mariette followed the direction of the sound, finding her younger sister sitting on a sealed box, seemingly idle. "If you're bored, why not do another scope of the house for anything that might be. . .compromising?" Mariette suggested, her expression a bit cool, though at the moment, she can't help but remember when both she and Genevieve were children. It gives her a momentary lapse of normality, a shred of nostalgia that floats by before being blown away. She glanced at the large, mahogany grandfather clock in the hallway, and sees that they don't have time for such things. They should be leaving soon. In this instance, soon, of course, means now.

"Leaving in two!" She called up the stairs. Unlike Genevieve, Mariette had a slightly deeper voice- at times, it goes so far as to border on husky. If she believed that they had any significant effect on her, the woman might blame it on cigarettes. As it stands, she knew that she's always had this voice, which contrasts her sister's more feminine and soft one.

Gin watched as her sister came down the stairs. "I would but the last time I did that I got yelled at. And I really don't feel like locking myself in my room today." She said to her sister as the older sister called upstairs to the others who were probably still in their rooms if not our on the town doing only God knows what.

"Come on, then. There'll be enough to moan about when we get there," She made it sound almost like a promise, eyebrows raised down at her younger sister, the only real link to the past she has, as she's thrown out anything connecting her to the first few decades of her life.

Once Mari spoke to Ginny again, she let out one of her contagious smiles before hugging her sister from behind before resting her head on her shoulder and tilting it like a child did with their mother or father when they were curious about something. "It might not be that bad, you know. I met one of them and she isn't that bad. She just told me to watch out for this little girl... Which shouldn't be a problem seeing that I have to best bodyguard ever right here." She said with her smile still on her lips before softly kissing her sister's cheek. "Besides, who knows, maybe it'll actually be enjoyable."

When Gin first hugged Mariette, the elder girl stiffened for a moment, because in all honesty, she still wasn't completely accustomed to such things- she had spent many decades without her sister after her change. Besides, she's made a point of not making her love for her sister obvious, because god knows that the last thing she needs is her enemies singling out Gin as a way to get to her. Still, after a moment she is able to loosen slightly, and looked down at her sister, eyebrows raised with a bit of amusement allowed to slip out. "The little Carter girl? I've heard a few things myself, I'm afraid. From them, I'd suppose she'd make a better vampire than a werewolf. Hopefully she won't be trailing about while I'm trying to cement the peace negotiations with her father," the last bit is more of a thought aloud, really, for it is a genuine concern. Those with the ability to bend the minds of others have always put her a bit on edge. It was a bit unsettling when she had found that her younger sister had such an ability, but at least Gin, if no one else, she can trust. A spoiled little girl is a bit more concerning.

"Bodyguard? I can't imagine who you're speaking of," Mariette says, eyebrows still quirked up. After Gin gave her a quick kiss on the cheek, the elder sister gently pushed her away a little bit, deciding that this has been enough sentimentality for one day. Besides, they certainly must be getting a move on now. Genevieve sighed, losing her smile for a moment before returning it to her face. She knew that her sister meant well but, it still hurt whenever the eldest sister would push or pull away from Genevieve's affection.

She's not one to go purely on instinct, but Mariette was getting an increasingly bad feeling, the sort one feels when there is danger. "Come on, then! Time to go!" She called back up the stairs once more, before sideglancing at her sister.

"Oh, I doubt that. But we shall see."

Ginny smiled once more before picking up her boxes and walking out to her white car to put two of the boxes in the trunk and one in the passenger seat next to her. She started the car, letting her music start blasting as she waited to see who was going to drive with her and who was going to get there on their own.

#, as written by Vix
β€œOh, dear. This simply won't do. I will ask you once more. Do you or do you not owe Cheveyo fifty thousand dollars?”

The voice came from a scantily clad woman with a young appearance who was holding a red-haired male up by his ankle, watching his head dangle inches from the ground. Her lucullan lips curled lightly into an almost feline smirk, her free hand on her hip with a brow cocked every so mildly in slight amusement. The man was crying and thrashing around, begging for the Viking Vampire Vixen to release him. β€œNo! No, I don't!”, he screeched, the scent of fresh urine beginning to float into the air, the aroma wafting ever so gently under her nose. She gave a shiver and dropped him to the ground, moving so fast that she was merely a blur. He tried to get away but he was soon looking up mile long ivory legs, pinned to the ground by stilettos pressed against his chest. β€œDear. There's no use lying to me. I already know that you do owe him money. I just really would prefer it that you admit to your wrong before we go any further. Ah – But don't think that you can stall me until someone comes by and hears your pathetic and irritating whines by continuing to lie. You have exactly three seconds to concede before I simply say fuck it and eat you. It will be drawn out and dreadfully painful for you – I'm going to literally eat you. Flesh and all.” Her grin had shifted to that of a cruel nature, her tongue gliding over her freshly glossed lips.

β€œI do! I do! Alright – I'm sorry! I tried to get the money on time but I couldn't! I didn't even mean to borrow any money, but it's Italy...and. Y'know! Live it up! When in Rome.” He sobbed uncontrollably, his squeaky and too-thick Jersey accent assaulting her ears as much as the scent of his urine was assaulting her olfactory senses. She wrinkled her nose delicately and sighed. β€œWell – If you can't pay it off...You'll have to work it off.” She gave a coy smile and pulled him up by the back of his shirt, yanking him close to her, though making sure he didn't press his lower body against her. β€œI have a friend. Her name is Isis. She's a Spaniard, a bit young. Perhaps two or three hundred years old. A child, really. But she has this feminist Coven. It's quite lovely – I'm sure she'd pay quite a bit for another bitch to slap around. It's sad that you have such great size but no spine to back it up. No worries – You won't be needing it there.” She snickered and drove her knee into his groin, watching him roll in the grass and wallow in pain, begging her not to do it. β€œI have children and a wife! You can't take me from th-umph!”

Astrid delivered a kick to his stomach, watching him sail ten feet away and slam into the trunk of a tree, cutting him off before he finished his sentence. β€œMaybe you should have thought about your precious family before you borrowed fifty thousand dollars to pay for Cupid's itch and herpes. Tell me – Were the hookers worth it, 'Mikey J'?”

She taunted him with a melodious purr, a light giggle escaping past her lips. She walked over to him slowly, pushing a few platinum blonde locks from her face. β€œDon't answer that. Either you're going to lie and it's going to piss me off or you're going to be honest and that's going to piss me off...I don't like you.” She sighed and heaved the human over her shoulder before leaping up and over the fence, taking off at high speeds through the forestry that soon lead to a back road. She wasn't running for too long before she came upon a beautiful plantation style mansion, approaching it from the side before moving towards the front and knocking on the door. The person who answered the door was a little girl who looked no more than twelve or thirteen years old. She gave a sweet smile, rocking back and forth on her heels as she played with the ruffles of her frilly violet southern belle dress. β€œOooh! Hiya, Astrid! What'cha got there?” The little girl shuffled some, peeking to see the man heaved over the Viking's shoulder, shivering from fear and the chill he had caught from her speed. β€œIt's a gift, really. Or – Not much of a gift. More of an offer.” She returned the smile as the β€œchild” lit up, clapping her tiny hands. β€œHe reeks of fear and piss! Ha! He's a wetter.” The little one squealed more as she jumped up and down. β€œI simply adore the ones that wet themselves! It's so hilarious! I'll give you seventy-five large for 'im.” The little one's fangs finally slid out as she practically shivered with excitement.

β€œOh, Isis. That's just so sweet. Instead of paying me all at once, why don't you just pay me over the course of a few months? Mikey's been a really naughty boy.” Astrid smirked, throwing him onto the porch, watching as he tried to scramble away, only to be caught by Isis. β€œOhh! Lita's just going to love him! He's O positively pathetic!” Her giggle was hauntingly adorable as she grabbed him by the hair to look him in the eyes. β€œDo we have an accord?” Astrid tilted her head, her icy blue eyes watching as Isis played with her future meal. The little one was gone in a flash and soon returned with a stack of cash. β€œHere's five large up front! Thanks Astrid!” Astrid gave a light curtsy, tucking the money between her breasts after folding it in half. Isis was soon dragging Mikey into the house by the ankle, doing it painstakingly slow just to freak him out more. It was working because he was screaming like a little girl. It made Astrid smile as she whipped out her phone and sent out a text to Cheveyo before taking off, feeling a shiver go down her spine. She had damp urine on her shoulder...Disgusting.

Just as quick as she had arrived, she was gone. It was a long drive from Milan back to Rose City. Ah, Citta Rosa was a small city compared to the other, more well-known parts of Italy. But it was beautiful and peaceful. At least for the most part. What amazed her was that her Fae companion, Cheveyo, was able to make so much money in the small place. But Milan wasn't too far away and he made a small fortune preying on the tourists like poor Mikey. Cheveyo had extended the man a fifty thousand dollar loan and the man hadn't thought to pay it back. Cheveyo wasn't really intimidating. Physically, he was quite attractive and well-built. But anyone who spent three seconds with him knew he wasn't a fighter. He didn't need to be. Astrid was not self-conscious about using Cheveyo as a source of income, acting as his muscle when people tried to skip town on him. She liked to have nice things and they would not stand between she and a new Gucci purse. It was the perfect partnership and the close bond they had tied in with it being only two of them made it even easier. She knew Chev wasn't going to fuck her over on her cut and Chev wasn't worried that she was going to demand more than she deserved. They had just over two centuries worth of loyalty between them.

A light smile curved on her lips as she came to a halt on the side of the road to see an attractive young man in a business suit pull over just ahead of her. β€œYou look like you could use a lift!” The Faerie called out with a light smirk playing on his lips, watching as Astrid mosied over to the green ferrari and slid into the passenger's seat. β€œWhat happened to the Bugatti?” Astrid and Cheveyo had arrived only hours earlier to spend the morning collecting money from clients when she insisted that he wait for her while she took a rather reluctant Mikey out into the forest for a quick chat. β€œThe salesmen in Italy are very convincing when the pitch.”, he laughed before peeling out. They would have met in the city, but Astrid had told him to meet her near Isis' within an hour. She was too lazy to run back to Milan. They now headed out to their new Coven in Rose City, Astrid whipping out her phone and sending a text to Genevieve.

Had business to conduct; Cheveyo and I will meet you and the others at Casa de Lupi Luna soon. ETA is three hours.

She didn't mention what kind of business it was because it was none of Ginny's business. Astrid went through great lengths to keep her age, her powers, and Cheveyo's species a secret for the past twenty years. She grew irate with people looking to her in a Coven to be the muscle when things weren't going their way and she didn't like the idea of other Vampires tasting her Cheveyo. They weren't a couple, no. But he was hers. Plain and simple. He was all she had left. She had Basil... Her first and only progeny. He was like a son to her. But Γ–rlΓΆg had taken him away as punishment for not sticking by her Maker and original Coven when the true death was courting them. That's why she stayed with this little Coven. To hunt down her son's killer and make up for that which she had done wrong, clearing her conscience and putting her at ease. For once she had helped this Coven in their time of need, she would enter Valhalla when and if the day of her true death came.

Too bad there were only two people in the Coven she could stand to hold conversation with.

Alywin and Zakhar were the only ones she truly could say she actually liked within the Coven. She would probably like Ginny if she didn't brush the girl off so often. But she didn't want to form an attachment and Ginny was the kind of girl that people attached themselves to. She didn't want to spend too much time with Mariette either. It wasn't anything personal; She had some form of admiration and respect for the younger Vampire. But she was afraid worried that the younger Vampire might try and pry into Astrid's past. It was a touchy subject and she did very well at playing the part of being collected, quiet, elegant, and mysterious. She wasn't going to lose her temper over a persistent girl and end up killing her. Mink... That irritating little slimeball could go to hell.
