Alexander Flem's Story

Alex walked out from the back and stepped up to his station. He got there just as the chants for the music rose up. He enjoyed the glory of it all. He scanned the crowd and saw Kaz with Scarny at the bar. He watched they talked and wished he could just tell Kaz the truth but he knew Kaz was interested in someone else. So instead he put on his headphones and silenced the crowd. "This one is for my best friend Kaz." He said then started Kaz's favorite song. He smiled over at Kaz hoping he would look over so he could see how happy he was.

Scarny nodded at Kaz. She wasn't used to the peppy guy yet. She started to love him. In an annoying little dog way. She smiled at the thought and looked over at Alex as he got onstage and made his announcement. "Yeah real fun. Isnt this your favorite song?" She considered dancing on the bar top with him but that wasn't her job plus Matty and the boss would get jealous.

Elizabeth

Elizabeth was ready when the bar filled with the awaiting crowd. Feeding before her shift became a regular habit just in case she happened to run into Alba after hours. Lately, she has had the blonde on her mind more than she would like to admit. With the crowd as rich as it smelt, she could feel herself starting to get hungry again. But it would have to wait. The 'Intoxicating before feeding' plan had only just commenced.

She set drinks down left, right, and center. Money slid from her fingers to the register and back. Tips ringed in the jar in the middle of the bar, graciously smiling at those who tipped "Thanks!" She said in a sweet tone. With her hair let loose in waves, her black heels gave her another four inches to her form. The white mini skirt clung to her hips, red strapless tank fitting her form, long necklaces adorning her neck.

Travis

Travis walked in through the back doors with a blonde in tow, his slightly muscular arm thrown around her shoulders. He was walking slow, like he was helping her walk beside him. "Are you sure you're alright from here? You took a nasty spill there in the back." Sapphire eyes looked down at the shorter girl. In reality, he had just fed off of her, and took her memories of it. The girl nodded, and took her leave. Stuffing his hands into his jean pockets, he watched until she passed through the doors before spinning on his heels, making his way to the bar. His shirt was an old local band from a few years back named 'Radio Logic'.

Ducking under the pass, he flashed the customers a smile. "What can I get for you hun?" He asked, getting the girl her drink. For being an old Vampire, he lost most of his British accent, but at times it slipped through. Setting the Budweiser down in front, he collected the money, moving onto the next. In time with serving, he noticed Scarny up at the DJ Booth, and waved to the three who occupied the space.

Travis tilted his head to the side, a confused look on his face, but thought nothing of it. "Sure hun, take as long as you need. I can handle it from here." But it was too late. Scarny was already long gone when he looked from the register. "It's not cool to let someone talk to themselves." he chuckled. Shrugging his shoulders, he took the next few orders. After those were done, it seemed quiet for the second, so he took this time to fill a glass with ice and water, and grabbed a cold beer from the fridge. Ducking under the counter, he walked his way over to Alex who seemed in his own little world. "Hey brought you drinks!" He flashed the new vamp a smile, setting them down on the small table behind him to the left, out of the way of the equipment.

Alex stopped the music when Scarny got up on the bar top to talk. He took his chance and went over to Kaz. "Hey Nathan told me I am supposed to have something to drink. I dont know what that means. He told me to ask you." He was nervous about asking him. He wasn't sure what was supposed to happen. He didnt know the whole vampire thing yet. He didnt even have powers yet.

Nathan grinned as Scarny played her part perfectly. As she danced on him Nathan looked out onto the crowd, who was content and looking at them, some even had astonished looks on their faces, some took this oppertunity to order some of their last drinks. Nathan was thankful it was closing time, honestly even after feeding these damnable humans made him thirsty all over again. They danced and hopped around, the blood in their veins pumping furiously. Nathan blocked the smell from his mind, trying not to go on a rampage. Thankfully most of the people had left at this point. Scarny stopped dancing on him, and he hopped of the bar, extending a hand to help Scarny down. "He peered over to the DJ booth where Alex was still playing a few songs for the remaining people. Nathan had grown an interest in the newborn, almost excited to find out what his powers were going to be. He turned to Scarny, "Great performance as always." He was praising her but frowned as he did, "So how was your time with Markus?" He asked coldly, crossing his arms infront of his chest, "I thought I've told you many times before not to associate yourself with him. He manipulates people, that's his job, why do you think Fera has him on such a high pedestal?" He glared at Scarny, "And never, I repeat, NEVER invite someone from that scum bar to this bar, do you understand?" He questioned, practically growling. He walked away from Scarny, rather upset now. He headed towards the bar, jumping over it. He went to his 'special fridge' pulling out a bag filled with a dark liquid. He closed the door, the liquid in the bag still radiated with warmth, he walked to the DJ booth, handing the bag to Alex, "Stick your fangs in it and drink." He commanded, smirking, "Unless you'd like something a little more... fresh. I suppose I should say someone." Nathan chuckled as he walked back to the bar.

Alba

Alba had woken up late which now and days seemed like the regular thing, she often stayed up talking to Elizabeth weather it was in secret or on her phone. She felt like she was addicted to her voice, begging to hear it when she couldn't see her. Alba quickly got dressed, she had taken a shower earlier and feel asleep on her couch finding herself rushing to the bar quickly. It didn't take much time before realizing she had slept through her whole job as she ran through the door only finding her boss and her co-worker yelling at each other. Honestly Alba minded her own business when it came to these situations, even though she was second in command of the bar she still didn't know how to go over there and tell her boss that she missed her whole entire shift. Then again she could duck outta there and run to visit Elizabeth, either way she was stuck in a uncomfortable position. She noticed Alex playing a few songs, she dashed over to him peering over the side of the DJ booth "Hey I missed my shift, but it looks like Scarny and boss got into a pow-wow over there, just tell him I stopped by and just to call me when he has the time. I owe ya one remember that!"

Alba ducked out of the bar faster then you could say squash and decided to go visit Elizabeth for a little bit, she walked over to Saramel Bar. She had hidden herself in the darkness in the alleyway behind the bar, waiting for her to finish her shift so Alba could attack the girl with a hug.

The comment about only caring about the bar hurt Scarny and it showed. She winced and turned around. The fires stopped on everything but on her. It just fairly lightly blazed on her. "The only reason I was here was for you so if you don't care ill just be on my way." She headed for the door then stopped and looked at him again. "Remember when you asked me why I never let anyone close to me?" She blinked back the tears in her eyes. "This is why." Was all she managed to whisper before she ran out the door at high speed. She didn't even see Markus because her eyes had misted over to much to see. She ran for the one place she knew she was safe. The old warehouse she lived in when she first got to New York with Nathan. Once inside she ran to the top and onto the roof.

Alex took the bag from Nathan and confused did as he was told. At first it felt weird but then it felt good going down his throat. He drank it all not spilling or waisting one last bit. Then he watched as Alba dashed in then out at the last second. He didn't even have a chance to reply. So he just walked back over to Kaz. "So whats it like all the vampire things I mean. I haven't done it yet."

Markus heard the argument and was sadened as Scarny left. He walked inside of Teltum bar feeling everyones gaze on him as he turned to Nathan and grinned. "Ahhh let me guess,your pawn Alex..he must be what you hope for..your successer if you die".
Too bad...wonder what would happen if i killed him tonight because alot of people have died by these hands Nathan. And Alex, if I killed your master what would you do ?".

Markus laughed. "This is a bar right ? Somebody get me my bottle of whiskey then because when i'm thirsty..alot of people die and tonight Fera and a few others will be here but all you have to do is kill me and I won't tell". He looked at Nathan and in a quick second, Markus's eyes became black and his fangs were ready.

Nathan sighed, rubbing the back of his neck. Now he felt guilty. He walked over to the door finding Markus there, he smiled wearily, "Go follow her, she's going to need you." For once Nathan didn't speak as the leader, but as an older vampire lending another advice. He turned, guilt tugging at his dead heart. He walked over to Kaz and Alex, "Have you guys seen Alba?" He asked, sitting in a near by stool. Nathan sighed as he looked over the bar, now empty. "Damn, there aren't even any humans around. Usually there's at least one to feed off of..." he took out his phone, casually scrolling through the contacts. He smiled as he reached one name in particular. Noelle Beaumont. He knew he was the biggest hypocrite in the world, liking someone from the Saramel bar then turning around and telling Scarny she couldn't see Markus because he was from the same bar. He honestly felt like a jerk sometimes but he had to keep up appearances, he was the leader of this bar who was supposed to be at war with the other.
He quickly sent Noelle a text, 'Hey :) hows your night going so far? Do you want to meet up?' for some reason, Noelle made him feel insecure and stupid, but she always had something g to say that always cheered him up, he just wanted to be around her all the time.

Alex stared at the guy then turned to answer Nathan. "Yeah she wanted me to tell you she over slept and missed her shift. She also wanted to tell you she stopped in and to call her when you get the chance." He stopped then added. "Is it true? Do you only care about the bar and to see what I turn out to be like? Do you not care about her?" He couldn't help but ask. He had to know if he was bout to become the one to split up the bar. He had to know if everything was his fault or not.

Nathan growled as he rubbed his temples, things were not going his way today. He glared at Markus as he left to go find Scarny. Nathan turned to Alex, sighing, "None of it is true. While I do care about the bar, It isn't the only thing I care about. And I take interest in you because I was I newborn once... but I was alone and confused. You have to understand that the power you may hold could potentially be dangerous, espesially when in the wrong hands. And finally, the reason you all are here is because I only surround myself with the people I trust and care about the most. I would never say something or do something to any of you if I didn't think it would ultimately lead to something positive." Nathan stood from his chair, grasping Alex by the shoulders, "Which is why you should try to have a little faith in me from time to time." He tried to smile but it turned out into a grimance. "Look, the point is yes I care about her, she's one of my best friends, and I honestly couldn't handle my undead life with out any of you."

Alex nodded and gave a smile for him instead. "The why are you telling us and not her? Why are you letting him convince her to leave and go to Saramels?" He asked trying to get it through Nathans brain that he just sent the one thing keeping her from the bar to her. "You dont convince her about all of that, and everything else you wont say, then she wont be here to convince anymore." He stepped behind the bar and made Nathan a drink. Even though he wasn't bartender he knew how to make drinks.

Scarny looked over at Markuz her fangs extended. "If you take me there I will kill her. She left you to die." She hissed at him then put her head back in her lap. He fangs retracted and the color turned back to a white with sadness. "I will have to leave. I dont belong at either place and this city just cant handle another rouge vampire. I will have to go back to where it started." She looked back at him and her eyes turned a soft blue. She stood up and the fire stopped. "Thats what I will do. I wont have to wear stupid dresses anymore and I can have time to fix my bike." She looked at him. "You could come with. Your the only one that wants me. Your the only one I trust now. You dont have to though I can manage on my own." She added as an after thought. Then she headed for her apartment. THe only problem her apartment was in the building next to the bar.

Nathan blinked in surprise as Markus just walked away. He walked over to Scarny, scratching the back of his head. "Scarny? He just kinda left..." Nathan muttered, he was confused, how would Markus not fight for her? Nathan shook his head, smiling a bit, "So this means you're staying at Teltum, right?" It was a question but he felt he already knew her answer, he hugged her tightly, grinning, "I'm so glad the clan isn't going to break up." He let her go, turning back to the bar, he walked in finding everyone was where he left them. "Kaz, go find a few humans would you? I'm a little thirsty. Find one for yourself and Alex as well." Nathan smiled looking over a paper, "Alex, you've yet to drink from a human correct?" He questioned, even knowing him most the time he was a newborn, Nathan could never be sure as to what Alex already knew.

Scarny was confused vy what Nathan said. She didnt respond to him when he talked to her. After he left she got angry and threw things around and lighting things on fire. Then she turned into a hawk and flew out the window. She flew across the street to the door of the Saramels bar and started pecking at it hard. Then she went to the middle of the empty street and turned human again. While she was flying her wings were on fire and now her whole body was on fire. "Come on Fera come out and fight me. Or are you still a coward having Markus fight for you?" She screamed in a mocking town. She lit the world around her on fire. There was just an opening enough for one person to step into.

Fera heard the banging and was outraged coming out of her office. Thats when she heard the shouts and smirked. She looked around the bar at her crew. "Come on guys looks like we got ourselves a fight." She walked outside with confidence. She didnt mess with Scarnys mood she was already angry enough for her to enjoy. She walked into the circle of fire and smiled as it closed behind her. "Vell vell vat do we have here? A vittle girl who dosnt know what shes getting herself into?" She asked in her perfect Russian accent.

Alex shook his head with a smile. "You know one thing I do remember from the guy that turned me was that he couldn't help but draw me into him. It was really weird." He laughed then stopped when he heard the shouts outside. He looked at Nathan and then smiled again. "This is a bar fight! I just know it is!" He couldn't help but be right again. He headed towards the door then stopped and spun on his heels. "I seem to be right a lot. Maybe that my power." He laughed then walked outside to face others.

Nathan looked to Alex, raising an eyebrow, "Really? Being right? That's what you think your power is?" Nathan shook his head, "Wait not the point, theres a fight outside?" Nathan looked to the girls that Kaz brought in, smirking as he hopped over the counter, there was time for a small snack. He took one of the girls by the hand sinking his fangs in her neck, soon sucking her dry. As he pulled back he licked the blood off his lips, letting the corpse fall to the ground, he swifly walked out side, passing Alex, "Hey! What's going on out here?" he demaned, looking to Fera and Scarny. "Scarny, what the hell are you doing?" he questioned, shaking his head. He glared over to Fera, "I know your crazy, but I hadn't realized you were crazy enough to start a fight with one of my own." He smirked slightly, "No way in hell you win this one." Nathan looked over to Alex, nodding his head towards the bar, "Go get Kaz, tell him to save the treats for later and get out here. Find everyone else while you're at it." he muttered. He turned back to the girls in the firey ring. "Hey get rid of the fire, your gonna attract the police before the fight is even done." Looking around, he crossed his arms infront of his chest, his gaze set in a glare.

Alex ran back inside laughing and hollered to the others. "Boss says leave the snack find Alba. There is a clan fight outside right now." He smiled then saw the girls sitting there and he walked aver to them. It was as if instinct was kicking in. He sank his teeth into her neck and drank deeply. Once finished he set the girl down lightly and walked back outside. His newly heightened senses were even greater. Once outside he stood next to Nathan feeling wonderful.

Scarny dropped the fire and ran over to Fera grabbing her and sinking her teeth into her neck. She took some blood then shoved her to the ground then hissed at her. She hit her hard with her knee right in the face. She took a step back and walked around her hissing every once in a while. "You and me are to very different people and I want you to know how different." She aloud her to her feat for an attack.

Fera thought it would be a simple fight and aloud her to take a hit. Once she was bitten though thats when she got angry. She was being thrown around like a rag doll. Once aloud the orotundity she jumped up and grabbed the girl. She took a bite of her neck but instead of drinking she tore a big hole in her throat. "Yes we are different. I know how to kill and you just know how to drink." She took a went to bite her neck again.

On her way to work, Noelle immediately sensed something was wrong, although at the time she didn't know what it could possibly be. Looking down at her phone when she recieved a text, she read it and smiled to herself. Nathan. She was supposed to hate him, but...there was just something that stopped her from feeling that way.
"My night? Torture. Meet up? YES. ;P" she typed into the keypad and pressed send, then continued her journey.
When she was still walking, she heard a large collection of loud words and noises, that sounded like a fight, and she immediately thought the worst. And her suspicions seemed to be proved correct when she noticed Fera, Nathan, Scarny and everyone else in the middle of a fight. Oh, the joys of this life.
Springing into action and tossing her bag over her shoulder then running towards them, she stopped a few feet away from both Fera and Nathan, debating whether or not to speak up. They were the first in charge of each of the bars...she was just a dancer. Nothing she could say would have an effect on them, would it?
"...You might want to take this fight a little somewhere more private..." She said quietly after a small pause. "This isn't going to do wonders for EITHER of your businesses. I mean, I'll be the first to admit that I'm insignificant, but I'm only thinking of you."
