"Glorious smog." Luca said with disgust as he exited the taxi onto the strip in the center of Vegas. He turned to look towards his sister as he held the door open for her while she slid across the back seat and stepped out onto the sidewalk. After she exited the cab, he leaned back in to hand the driver some cash then grabbed Georgy's backpack she forgot on the floor. Once the car drove off he stepped up beside his sister that was in awe of the city. He scoffed before holding out the backpack towards her "What would you do without me?" She barely paid him any attention, pushing his hand out of her way as she stepped forward, leaning against a parking meter. What the hell is so fascinating about this place? Luca sighed in aggravation, dropping the bag at her feet, "Look Georgy I'm not your God damn pack mule!"

That was what broke her silence, causing her to spin around and look at him with a menacing grin, "Ah, come on! You don't want to change into a mule for me? If you asked nicely I'd even let you carry me around too." Luca wasn't amused, he stared at her with pursed lips and his arms crossed over his chest, "Ya done?" He nodded his head in the direction they needed to head in. He didn't wait for her while she grabbed the backpack, throwing it over her shoulder before chasing after him. "Luca!" She shouted after him, causing him to slow down slightly before she caught up. "Look I just want to get there, ok?" Georgy groaned at him, "What's your deal? This place is awesome!... Why can't we explore the city first before going down there?"

"You know I hate cities. And... People," Luca said as he glared at some woman that had the nerve to smile at him as they crossed paths. "I want to be in Romania... Not Vegas." He said the word with such disgust that it made his sister move to move in front of him, making him stop dead in his tracks, "What?" He rolled his eyes while he sighed, crossing his arms back over his chest once again, preparing himself for the unavoidable lecture that he was sure Georgy was preparing.

"Do you wanna go back to Romania? Because I mean we can. Yeah, let's go back to a country where we're no longer welcome and live out the oh..." She looked down at her wrist like she was checking the time, "5 Minutes we'd survive there!" Luca sighed, she was shouting, and once you got her going she wouldn't stop. And that's all they needed was her to let slip what they were in the middle of the city. So before she could say another word, he clenched his jaw, grabbing her by the upper arm and leading her into an alley. But once they were away from prying ears, she started back up again like un-pausing a movie, "We have no choice Luca! We barely have enough of us to make a pack anymore. Do you want to kill the rest of us off because you decided you didn't want to be in Vegas anymore?" When he didn't respond, she kept going, "This is our best chance. With the others here we might be able to turn this... war around." He still wasn't convinced. He'd trade a city that never sleeps, species he can't stand and annoying drunk Humans for the forests of Romania any day.

"Maybe it is. But we don't need to be here to grow our numbers. We're not like Vampires or Demons who can turn someone or get someone to sell their soul. We have to repopulate and wait 15-18 years for them to mature and change for the first time." Georgy placed her hand on his chest, making a joke like she always did, "Well I'm flattered. But your my brother... That's frowned upon in most societies." She followed it with a playful laugh. He just shook his head, but a slight smile tugged at his lips. After another moment of silence, she broke it once more "Look at the bright side. People die here like all the time... So you can kill until your heart's content." Luca grinned, he liked that idea. He went to follow his sister who started to head back out to the street, but stopped to turn and look at him holding up a finger, "As long as you don't attract Dark hunters."

Georgy knew her brother had absolutely no idea where they were going. He never seemed to have a clue what was going on, just usually followed her lead because she always did. But it didn't stop him from questioning her when they reached an entrance to a subway, "So we're going from a city that smells like shit to a worse smelling subway? Seriously Georgy." She sighed with aggravation, "Shut up and come on." She turned her back to him and stepped onto the escalator. Being the clumsy person she is she nearly miss the step which would have resulted in her rolling down the very long staircase, bumping into every person on the way down. But Luca knew how she was, and without a blink of an eye, he nonchalantly extended his hand, grabbing her by the backpack to keep her from falling. "Why do I even worry that someone's going to kill you? You're just going to kill yourself."

When they reached the bottom, the entire crowd of people went to the left but Georgy lead her brother right. They made their way through a dark corridor until they came to an "Authorized Personnel Only" marked door. Neither one of them had an issue when it came to breaking the rules, but they still had to check and make sure the coast was clear. Then she pulled a key out of her pocket, wiggling it in her brother's face first in a Voila manner, before slipping it in the doorknob, twisting it and unlocking the door. They made their way down another long set of stairs, which obviously was starting to annoy Luca who piped up, "There needs to be an elevator." Once at the bottom, they were faced with another door. Grinning Georgy put her hand on the door, turning to face her brother, "Welcome to the Underworld!" She opened to the door to reveal an entire city that lived beneath Vegas. A city of 24/7 darkness. Perfect for all the supernaturals that inhabited it.

Georgy was surprised at how many others were down here. It gave her hope. Hope that maybe they had a chance to survive this. But in the grander scheme of things, this was just a small fraction of a civilization in comparison to the 7+ billion Humans above the surface. But each supernatural counted for at least 3 Humans... So that's a start right? Georgy didn't hesitate to wait around for her brother, fascinated by their new world, she wanted to explore, and maybe run into someone she knows. But contrary to what Georgy thought, Luca wasn't stupid either, "Who are we looking for?" He said in a monotone voice, not really in the I-Spy mood. "No one." She said with a mischievous grin. "Yeah... Sure." He sighed while rolling his eyes.

He was already sick and tired of his day already, because not only did he have to bury his best-friend this morning, but he had to deal with one of the things he hated most.. Monsters. His best friend was dead because of them. The one he had tied in the chair in the room with him, was a vampire, and Blake was ordered NOT to kill them. When did Blake ever not rebel against the rules? "I'm not telling you a thing. You'll never find them, you'll never get to kill all of us. Do what you want to me, I'm not selling out my family." Blake wasn't even listening all that much as he pulled out one of the dark blades he always carried upon his person, just for emergencies.

The silver blade glistened in the sunlight that beamed down into the room, causing the vampire to look even more terrified than before. This blade had the same significance as the Dark bullets, and with one hard, deep thrust into any monsters heart!? would kill them instantly. "Ya see," Blake began to pace the room, removing his tie so the monster knew that this Hunter meant business. Blake wasn't playing games. "All y'have t'do, is behave.. it's as simple as tha'." The hunters gaze was on the blade as he twirled it in his hands, then glared up at the monster before him that was hidden in the shadow of the room away from the sun. Clearly none of them understood not to kill any human being. They wanted to live free, do as they please with no rules, and probably even try to rule over every human that walked, talked, and breathed because they have Supernatural advantages. Not on Blake's watch. He'd rather burn to death before Supernaturals take over. But right now they were living like rats in the sewers below Las Vegas. In Blake's eyes, that's where they belonged.

He didn't like to admit it, but some were actually redeemable. "Now, I'm gonna ask ya one. More. Time. How do we get t'the place ya all call home?" With his hand on the vampire's shoulder, and his right hand holding the blades handle, Blake pointed the silver pointy end of his weapon, inches from the vampire's pupil in his eye, causing the vampire to not move a muscle. "They told me not t'kill you.. they said nothin' about torturin' you."

└ ┘

Terry liked to follow things in the wolfy way, and keep close to Hayley, particularly in Vegas where a hoard of mass supernatural creatures were gathered and therefore likely to magnify the target on their backs but somewhere along the lines they decided solo. Normally he wasn't even that pack coordinated but in this area, he favoured being a pair. They only had each other as an utmost support system. And Georgy...though, he didn't know if they were the kind to take a dark bullet for each other. But then he laughed when he remembered Luca. Yeah, he'd have to take the bullet rather than the hell he'd face from her brother.

Terry waited around with his hands buried in his jeans pockets, rocking back and forth on his heels. It wasn't his first choice of clothing with turning into a wolf at the ready but, it was more casual than the bulky guy dressed ready for an eternal basketball game that would never happen. Terry wasn't even sure entirely what he was waiting for until he saw it. Hayley brushing past the skin-changers. He sighed out gently, when he saw her lips move and a smirk cross her lips. It generally meant she took some pleasure in some smart comment or attitude she portrayed. Terry simply saluted in greeting before coming to stand by her. "Now, now be nice to pops" he reminded her in what was normally perceived in a low-tone. But with all the supernatural hearing in here, who knew who caught Terry's comment on Luca's age. Even so, it wasn't like a stab at his true age meant anything. There were more ancient than him.

He sighed out gently before resuming to speak to Hayley as a necromancer joined the Shape-Shifters. He'd seen the blonde around once or twice. As if picking up on his thoughts, he continued. "Good news is though we haven't ran into any vampires down here yet." Terry was struck by another sudden thought. "Hey, when's the next full moon?" This time he leaned much closer to Hayley's ear, as he kept his eyes forward and asked it much more softly.

Declan had spent the beginning of his day doing his job. On his way to the meeting, someone had died and Declan was the one called to collect the poor soul. Declan appeared to have teleported out of the city he'd just arrived in all the way back to the wonderfully horrendous city of New York. A man had just been shot in the city so Declan appeared before his soul and extended his hand towards him. He said only one word. "Hell." The man screamed for mercy but Declan stayed quiet. This was what usually happened and it didn't really face him any more. Some put up a fight but it was never much. Not like the fight Alex put up...

The man traveled with Declan back to hell where he dropped him off at the fiery pit to be given his punishment before leaving again to go to the meeting. But of course, Declan also had to work.

He had to collect three more souls before he finally had the chance to appear in Las Vegas. Declan could easily use his abilities to transport himself into the underground meeting area but he felt like taking a short stroll through Sin City. His demon self would have loved this place. The closest he had as a demon was getting to enjoy some of the Roman Empire before he died. But now, Declan felt indifferent towards the city. He didn't hate it but he didn't find any pleasure or amusement in it either. He walked down the streets getting many glances. Most of them were from women. Declan knew how handsome he was he also knew that walking down a street in a suit was going to give the impression that he was someone important. Being death was somewhat important.

Declan disappeared down a set of stairs that brought him into the subway. He made a face over the smell but immediately got over it since he cared more about reaching his destination than wondering how on earth this place could reek so horribly. He ducked away into a door indicated to be for 'Authorized Personnel Only'. Of course death falls under authorized personnel. Death can go anywhere they please. The thought managed to produce a faint chuckle as he made his way down a rather long flight of stairs until he reached yet another door.

He took out the key he was given and unlocked the door. As he stepped through, he was greeted by a whole city of underground creatures that needed to hide out thanks to the humans. Declan's eyes searched the crowds before he took a step forward and began to explore.

Declan had been the one to inform a few others of where the meeting was being held so it was no surprise that he was able to see a few familiar faces but none were of the face he was looking for. Declan decided his best option would be to wait near where they were all told to meet and wait until whom he was hoping to see would approach him. That was until he spotted the enchanting flower just across the crowd. The same enchanting flower he'd been hoping to have the chance to see again.

He tucked his hands into his pocket and strutted towards his new destination. He maneuvered through the crowd until he was standing just behind the flower and leaned over their shoulder and spoke in his usual soft and tender manner. "Hello, Georgeta..."

It didn't take Georgy and her brother long to reach the epicenter of supernatural leader activity in the Underworld. The place may have been big but there were definitely areas that some Darks shouldn't go to and what not. But they were in the most neutral zone. As they stood there it didn't take long for others to begin to show up. This part is what made Georgy feel so uneasy. She didn't particularly know many of these species, and the ones she did know were either by chance or because Werewolves and Shifters are close. Speaking of Werewolves her thoughts were interrupted when the brunette female vampire walked past her brother saying, "Well hello Luca?" Luca just nodded his head and replied coldly, "Hayley." She raised a brow slightly, thinking Do I not exist? Of course not. Every woman with half a brain thought Luca was hot, and she supposed his sunny disposition gave off that bad boy vibe that soooo many girls loved. She rolled her eyes while sighing softly.

It wasn't until this Hayley went and sat down that she noticed Terry was there. How could she miss him? So being awesomely weird friend she was, she waited until he looked her way then made a slightly creepy smile while waving at him. She had noticed Hayley was looking at her, it made Georgy tilt her head like a curious puppy, before using an index finger to circle her own face in the air, "Take a picture... it lasts longer." Before she got a chance to hear the girl's reaction she heard another familiar voice join the group, "Fancy seeing the pair of you here" Georgy knew the voice before even looking over, but to humor herself she did and there was Luna. It took everything in her not to make a vomit noise, but she knew she pissed of Luca who looked like he almost had the potential to smile when the blonde approached. He looked like he was about to say something to her but then turned to Terry. Georgy thought she heard him say something with "pops" in there. And all she could do was face palm and hope a fight doesn't start. "That's not what your mom called me last night." Luca said towards Terry.

Georgy bit her lip trying to fight the laughter and decided that this would be the best of time as ever to slip over towards Terry because she had no desire to talk to Luna. Once she was in front of Terry she took a seat right there on the floor, sitting Indian style, "You have to admit... that was a good one." She smiled playfully towards her friend. Georgy didn't happen to hear the part about the full moon, only thing she heard was his first statement saying, "Good news is though we haven't ran into any vampires down here yet." She twiddled her thumbs adding, "Yeah... yet. But you know those blood suckers... They'll be here." She said that as she glanced around.

Georgy wasn't paying too much attention to her surroundings apparently because she didn't even hear or see Declan join the group. So when he made his way behind her and leaned over her shoulder to speak softly in her ear, "Hello, Georgeta..." She nearly jumped out of her skin. But looking over her shoulder to see him, her face lit up and she quickly moved back to her feet, dusting her jeans off. "Dec!... I didn't know you were coming." She then sighed when she realized what he called her, putting her hands on her hips, "And how many times have I told you to call me Georgy."

Luca was happy that Luna had came. Of course his faced said something completely different but all the same he was. Once he got his little jab in towards Terry, he turned his attention back towards the little blonde he practically towered over. "So the Necromancer came out of the shadows to join us monsters?" He smirked in a teasing manner before adding, "Good to see you Luna." He was prepared to give Luna his full attention until he saw him join the group and of course, make his way over towards Georgy. He hated how Declan looked at his sister. Luca's a man, obviously he knew the intentions behind those stares and it made his blood boil. He wanted to go over there, grab Georgy and just take her somewhere... else, didn't matter where. But he knew that he'd get the eternal wrath of his sister if he embarrassed her like that.

So being quick on his feet Luca piped up, "I don't know why in the hell we're all just standing around. But I'm going inside." With that he glanced down towards Luna, nodding his head in the direction of everyone's destination. A small pub that had looked like it had seen better days was only a few feet away from the group. The wooden sign above it was so weathered that the title, "Medusa's" was almost illegible. He made his way up the few steps to the door, pulling it open and made his way inside. He weaved his way through tables and chairs until he reached a doorway with a black felt curtain that opened up into a large conference style room. Without hesitation or waiting for the others, Luca took the closest chair, sitting down before propping his feet up on the table. At least here he'd get momentary relief from watching a Reaper flirt with his sister.

Upon approaching the group, Luna could immediately tell that Georgy was not to fond of her being there. She was fully aware that the little shifter wasn't overly fond of her, which made it more fun to be in this meeting.
"So the Necromancer came out of the shadows to join us monsters?" Luca spoke to her in a teasing manner.
Moving her hand through her hair as she would proceed to move it from her face, she would look up towards him. A smirk evident upon her face.
" Bitch please, we both know the shadows can't hide this" Her voice full of amusement as she would gesture her hands down towards her body, giving him a small turn.
"Good to see you too, giant.." Poking her tongue out at him in turn.

Luna's eyes began to scan around her surroundings as she took in the appearance of everyone that had arrived so far. Some she knew whilst others she wasn't acquainted with. She wasn't entirely sure if it was a good thing or a bad thing, not that she particularity cared. She was here for one thing, and that thing may or may save help save the rest of their species.

The sound of Luca declaring that he was making his way inside the pub bought her out of her thoughts, when he glanced down towards her and nodded his head in the direction of the pub, she followed silently behind him whilst drinking her hot chocolate.

She didn't know how but she somehow walked into multiple chairs on the way to the designated meeting room. "Stupid chairs.." She'd mumble with annoyance. Soon arriving in the room she sat herself in the chair that was directly opposite Luca, once she sat down she looked directly across to him. Upon meeting his gaze she began to look at him with disgust, although it didn't last long as she began to laugh to herself for no apparent reason.

"So.. how's the weather up there?"

"Do you really have to go out again?" Cadence asks, watching Jordan don his usual going out attire; Black jacket, hole-y jeans, and a shirt thats obviously been through the wringer. He glances at her from the corner of his eye, frowning a bit."Yes I do, and by the way what happened to doing your homework?" Her eyes go wide, pursing her lips into a scowl. "Its so boring!" She complains, the same old argument shes been using forever now. Jordan rolls his eyes and stoops to lace up his shoes.

"Just go do it," he says through clenched teeth. Managing his temper, knowing it will only do more harm than good to yell at her about it. They've been doing this dance since she started school, and its entirely too exhausting to focus on...No, he has more important things to do right now.

"Whatever," She huffs and stands. Seconds later her arms wrapping around Jordan "Love you, come back soon okay?" He returns the hug, freezing at a feeling of breath on his neck. He doesn't have to look in the mirror to know that nobody is actually there, just a long forgotten memory. A memory that makes gasping, choking noises next to his ear.'You let her parents die Jordan, you don't deserve her love.' It whispers, cackling wildly just a moment after. Ice cold power surges through him for just a moment, ready to explode outward but he combats it, digging his fingernails into his skin to distract himself.

"I will," he replies tightly, loosening his grip on her quickly. After composing himself, and doing his best to ignore the memory thats standing just over Cadence, looking smug as it runs ghostly fingers through her brunette hair.
"Be good, while I'm gone." He says, promptly shooing her away, turning towards the mirror one last time to glance at his reflection. The memory is still standing there, grinning wide to show off bloodstained teeth. He doesn't recognize this one, though he knows there are plenty of people who have died by his hands that he doesn't remember. She is likely among the ones slaughtered during his infamous killing spree several years back.

He's already late - or so he suspects, so he doesn't bother hurrying along with things. Stopping off to acquire a pack of cigarettes from a corner store, before finally making his way towards the one place that doesn't require him to hide away in the shadows.
As he continues on his path the ache of guilt begins to surface in his gut. Another round of self doubt arising in the wake of his near outburst earlier. He looks around wildly, simply waiting for the appearance of more 'memories,' their dull whisper-y voices already bouncing around the inside of his head. However in the time it takes him to arrive to his destination only the one from before continues to hang around, always seen just out of the corner of his eyes. Everything about it is annoying, but he has very little choice but to endure it.

"Ostende mihi viam." He whispers, feeling the trickle of power begin to race through him. He glances around, watching the world around him turn into a jumble of colors and symbols. Hidden signs directing him to the place he needs to go. He follows the path, noticing immediately a red lit up doorway, something he wouldn't have noticed were he not using his abilities. He pushes past a door labeled "Authorized Personnel Only," descending into the darkness quickly. A grin spreads slowly on his face, taking in the sights and sounds for a moment. Its dark, but his eyes adjust quickly and he can see the throng of people here. He stops he usage of his abilities,

'Filthy creatures,' whispers the memory over his shoulder, 'all of you should be eradicated. He ignores it, knowing that hes the only one that can see it. He catches sight of a few familiar faces, but doesn't take the time to stop and chat as he heads towards the meeting place. He enters quietly, content with keeping silent for the moment. Well, that is until he hears Luna speaking "It seem's my fellow necromancer is late as usual.. But is this everyone?"

"Oh Luna, you know me, always the last to arrive, always the first to leave." He smirks, sliding into a seat.

Late as usual, Roslyn scoffs as she checks the time, not in the least worried about showing up late to an impromptu meeting. One that she has no interest in whatsoever beyond the need to hear the latest gossip. Sure, she cares that those damn hunters are out there weeding out her kind at an alarming pace, but she could care less about many of the others. However, she consoles herself with the knowledge that if anything she will get to see her fellow leader there. It isn't every week that their paths cross after all.

The sound of muffled screams draws her attention. She glances down, as if having forgotten completely what she had been doing before. Her hands placed on either side of a human mans face, his eyes nearly completely rolled back into his head. She smiles, "Oh dear, I almost forgot about you."

Crack! A single twist and the man goes limp, dead. She removes herself from his lap, where she had been perched before. She leaves the body, a little present for whoever manages to find him. It had taken her quite a long time to carve his body up, and she was proud of the work she had done.

"Hmmm, not exactly meeting ready." She takes note of the blood, practically soaked into her formerly white button up. Splatters of it everywhere. Not that its any of her problem, the clean up is always the least fun part of it all. "It'll have to do." She says to herself.

Teleporting - though extremely rough on the gut most days - is pretty simple this time around. She makes sure to get as close to the underground entrance as possible, not wanting to risk a sighting by Hunters. Thats the last thing she needs, to get caught up in some fight with those idiots. She walks the short distance to the door, descending quickly into the darkness. She is briefly reminded of a silly horror movie she watched recently, well, sort of watched while plotting the demise of her "date."
Roslyn doesn't bother announcing her presence, simply casts her sights about the room to take stock of its inhabitants. She knows a few of them, here and there, but overall her lack of need to associate with other creatures leaves her unable to place most of the faces. She does notice Eamon, and the Necromancers of course.

Spotting Gerogy's creepy wave and smile made Terry's brows pull together. She was an odd one, no denying that. But he liked her company as something new and less serious. Luca had come back with his own remark "That's not what your mom called me last night." causing Terry to shake his head before they re-attended to companies they had. Anything mom related normally would have set him off but Terry had control and realized he didn't even know what he was missing there a long time ago, so it made no difference.

Georgy took a seat to chime in her say, here and there, which didn't last long as a...something crept up behind her to announce his presence. He knew so little faces as one after the other, dark creatures crossed his path and into the pub type of set-up. He couldn't help but eye each curiously and wonder who had the highest body count. Terry wasn't a contestant there seeing as he didn't kill for sport like so many others would. They were the kind that begged for a dark metal bullet which is why he wouldn't complain when some fellow werewolves with excessive kills were hunted. Loyal and proud of his species as he was, some individuals...just asked for elimination.

The Dark Creatures started to blur into faces he couldn't make sense of except Maya. His face lit with the recognition but then he also gave Hayley a pointed glance. Terry was unsure if she should be present. Personally, among his smaller pack, he already had to fight who was worthy of attending the gathering. That in itself was a prideful matter.

"Price, it's good to see you again" His head shifted towards the vampires and he couldn't help but smile waiting for the punch-line. Then again a man of Augustus' age tended to be casually civil. But there weren't any human eyes on them, so Terry didn't see the need to directly lie. Both species would probably do better without the other present. "How have you been been keeping?" Terry considered it and shrugged, if the vampire was indeed still addressing him. "I've seen better days. You?" Terry placed a hand in the mid of the wolves backs and directed them slowly to where the others were heading. He, however, stood back slightly making sure the vampires were in the middle of the pack or at least in front of him. Terry eyed the female vampire in mild interest, anticipating if she'd say anything or move with the crowd to where the meeting was taking place.

He was glad though because his response asking on Augustus' own well-being made it look as though he was just hanging back for an answer in his own courteous manner. And if the girls didn't double back on him with all their hormones they'd be able to save him a seat or something.

Luna definitely had Luca's attention whenever they were together. It intrigued him to find someone who actually wasn't intimidated or scared of him other than his sister. Most walked on eggshells around him to avoid making him angry. He didn't blame them, he knew he had a nasty temper. But sometimes it was honestly just a show to keep up the visage of being such an angry person all the time. He liked keeping people at an extreme distance. But none of that worked on Luna. She was drawn to him like a moth to a flame. And he'd never admit it out loud, but he kind of enjoyed it.

After his Wreck-it-Ralph comment, she began to go on some tangent about how she was more fabulous or something along those lines. Luca just shook his head while rolling his eyes at the comments. He was a guy, his knowledge or care for fashion extended as far as Old Navy and some jeans. "Hey Luca? "In your hurry to grow, did your brain develop properly?" He glanced up slightly while raised a brow, then responded, "Why should I worry about my brain when everything else is more than developed." He concluded his remark with a sly smirk. If she didn't know what he meant then she wasn't as smart as he thought. He was however thankful that Georgy hadn't been inside at the time to here his less then proper talk. After a moment of silence, he also added, "Plus... Why do I need a brain when Georgy does all my thinking for me?"

As Georgy sat there Indian style on the table she watched as more and more people filed into the room. She didn't realize how many different species were still alive. That's a good thing. But unfortunately, they're are also a lot that have now become extinct because of the Dark Hunters. Georgy wasn't the one who really had that big of a problem with any of the species, she didn't see the point in holding a grudge against someone who can't control what they are. Unlike her brother. But she generally kept that to herself. She was surprised at how many faces she didn't know. Her and Luca had always seemed to know a good handful of Darks just because they traveled a lot. But the majority of the people in the room were new faces.

As Georgy's gaze shifted over to Declan as he began to lean in towards her, "So you want me to continue courting you in front of your brother?" Her gaze quickly widened, as it shot back and forth between Dec and her brother. She brought her hands up to cup her mouth as she spoke quietly, "Oh Declan... no." She knew he meant nothing by it. Dec was so old fashioned about a lot of things that for people like that "courting" is anything beyond a friendships. Georgy would define it as a flirt-ship or something along those lines. But either way he said it... out loud... in front of her brother.

Luca's more content facial expression shifted to anger. His brows furrowed while he clenched his jaw and began to stand up out of his chair. Georgy quickly slid off the table onto her feet, standing between Declan and her brother. Luca could more than easily over power his sister, she was a whole foot shorter than him and didn't have much to her. He would never do that, but it was probably a sight seeing such a small woman stand up to him. "Luca... Brother please." She placed her hands against his chest, while her eyes pleaded up at him. Not many people understood why Luca was so over protective of her, which probably made this whole exchange rather odd to observe. He just couldn't trust anyone after what happened to their brother and he didn't know what he'd do without his sister. Luca looked between Georgy and Declan, and with a dissatisfied grunt he walked away from them and headed through the door.

Georgy stood there for a long minute, staring down at her feet before she slowly moved over to take the seat her brother once sat in. She slunk down in the chair, bringing her feet up to rest on the edge of the seat so her knees blocked her face from a majority of the people in the room. She was embarrassed. Embarrassed by what Declan said in front of her brother but even more embarrassed about how he acted. She yanked off her beanie, tossing it onto the table, then ran a hand back through her long blonde hair. She tilted her head back to rest on the back of the chair. She must not have noticed whenever Declan invited Dezember over, it probably was while she was confronting Luca. But as she rested her head on the back of the chair, then reopened her eyes she saw Dez. Georgy tried to fake a halfway decent smile towards her friend, "Hey Dez... Sorry didn't see ya."

Luca didn't expect Georgy to come after him as he left the conference room. She knew better. He wasn't surprised that someone had taking a liking to his sister. It's happened before. And he isn't a huge fan of her dating just because it always complicates everything. He's trying so hard just to keep her safe, he promised Anton he would. It always worried him with her ever growing pool of friends or suitors that one of them could bring more harm than good. He could understand why guys would like her. But what he didn't understand is how she could even contemplate being with someone like Declan... Someone without a soul. That's exactly the type of person he wanted Georgy to steer clear of.

Luca walked past Hayley and Maya on his way out of Medusa's. Not trying to seem like a total dick, he nodded his head in their direction which was more of a greeting than he gave most. As he came back outside he noticed Terry talking to another male. Luca, taking in the new comers scent quickly realized it was a vampire, just by the smell. He slowly stepped down the stairs that lead up to the entrance, moving to stand beside the Wolf. Terry and Luca had a sort of love hate relationship. They enjoyed pissing each other off, but also respected each other and had one another's back. And this was such an occasion. Luca placed his hand on Terry's shoulder, "Everything cool?" He asked while motioning his head towards the walking corpse.

Nadia D A N O V A;

The underworld was interesting – to put it in simplest terms. Nadia found that despite the fact that the place was a dump, and that she was right under the trashiest city in all of America and quite possibly the world, she did enjoy being out and about during the sun hours. Although being around all these supernatural was starting to make her skin crawl. Too much power in one place, Nadia thought to herself. Not to mention they were all ticking time bombs of the first person to rip off another supernatural’s head.

Gazing around the room she looked at some unfamiliar faces before her eyes landed Augustus and she kind of fell into place with him. It was a ‘stick with your own kind’ sort of situation down here. She knew there were plenty of people down here that would prefer her dead.

Augustus spoke to her and Nadia nodded, “You too,” she relied offhandedly to Augustus before turning to attention back to the other supernaturals in the room. She had heard him speak to one of the werewolves but before she could make a comment on it, Hayley walked by with a rude comment. Sneering back at the girl Nadia replied with, “At least I don’t smell like wet dog.”

Turning back to Augustus and the werewolf she crinkled her nose, she wasn’t one to just start a conversation with the enemy, she valued her life too much. Although she did give Augustus her resects for being civil, and she stood politely by as they chatted but her senses were a high reaction to any sudden movements.

Her head peaked up as someone walked over to the werewolf that Augustus was talking to. Instantly she recognized him as a shapeshifter. He asked a question and Nadia rolled her eyes. “It’s as if we are in a zoo with all these animals,” she said as she waved her hands to the shapeshifter and the werewolf.

Zachary continued down the street stuck in her own little word inside her head. Blocking out the gross and overly supernatural world around her. She was aware that the Underworld sucked and she didn't need to think about it to be sure. Though she was brought back to reality when she noticed someone in her peripheral vision. She smiled when she saw it was Delia who had fallen into step with her. Delia was the one friend Zachary could manage, because she got it. They could fight and argue and yell, and then they'd just make up like it was no big deal. Being around Delia, Zachary didn't feel like she had to constantly hold back how she feels. Plus if there was anyone in the world who understood Zachary and her life it was Delia, after all she'd been there and gone though it too. Something like that kind of bonds you for life. Even if your life is of above average length.

Taking off her headphones suddenly she could her what her friend with saying. "How have you been? I see you changed your hair, I like it." She said with a small smile, which Zachary returned.

"Huh? Oh yeah, I did it awhile ago, but I suppose it's been a while since we last met," Zachary said pointing to her hair. The snakes hated hair dye, but Zachary chose not to let them rule her life. Someone had to show them who was in charge of things. "I've been fine I suppose. Just a lot more of the same," Zachary sighed, "How about you?"

"Looking forward to the meeting?" She asked with a snort. Zachary responded with a knowing look.

She did not want to be here at all. Then she dropped the look and made a more serious face. "The idea of Dark Hunters never really bothered me Del, I mean they never came after me." Zachary said shrugging, "I thought that we'd be fine. I mean we're not the idiot super-naturals that the humans have been writing fiction about for centuries. But then after what happened to Mel," Zachary drifted off letting that statement hold for a few seconds. Then she went back to her usual mean bitterness. "Don't get me wrong. The bitch deserved it, and however it went down it was probably her being reckless that got her killed. It just makes you think is all. I do not want to be next."

Delia was probably the only person in this entire world that Zachary could be real with. Some days she hated that about Delia, but today, it was kind of nice. "How are you dealing with the Melanie of it all?" Zachary asked morbidly to her friend. She knew Delia had stayed friends with Melanie, and even though it was something Zachary could have never done, she didn't begrudge Delia her friendship with the other girl.

Then the two of them arrived at Medusa's. Of course Zachary smirked at little at the choice of location, Delia and her's ancestor of sorts. After living through a very similar situation, Zachary completely understood why Medusa was considered such a cow.

Though Zachary gave a dirty look at the vampires and werewolves having a little stand-off out the front. Then she turned to Delia, "You'd think with everything going on the wolves and vampires and whatever would get over themselves," she said. Deliberately making herself loud enough to be heard by the vampires and wolves. She never much cared for getting along with the other species, and so she was not afraid to ruffle feathers.

Delia hadn't realized she had earphones in but mentally shrugged it off when she responded. "Huh? Oh yeah, I did it awhile ago, but I suppose it's been a while since we last met." Delia nodded at that, it had been awhile maybe too long. She didn't realize how much she missed Zachary until now, she suddenly felt like herself...her old self. "I've been fine I suppose. Just a lot more of the same, How about you?" Delia smiled "I've been good actually, I've been better though" She said with a sigh.

"The idea of Dark Hunters never really bothered me Del, I mean they never came after me." Zachary responded to her question about the meeting, Delia kind of felt the same way at first. They weren't much of a threat at first. "I thought that we'd be fine. I mean we're not the idiot super-naturals that the humans have been writing fiction about for centuries. But then after what happened to Mel." Mel was a touchy subject for Delia not as touchy as Titus however. She never found it in herself not to be friends with Mel and even over the years it seemed Delia had unconsciously forgiven her which made them closer. Though she and Melanie never had the type of friendship she and Zachary have she was a pretty close friend. "Don't get me wrong. The bitch deserved it, and however it went down it was probably her being reckless that got her killed. It just makes you think is all. I do not want to be next." There is was, the statement Delia was waiting for. She knew Zachary had never forgiven her, in fact her hatred for Melanie seemed to grow over the centuries.

"How are you dealing with the Melanie of it all?" Delia shrugged, honestly she wasn't really dealing with it. She just pushed it down to let it fuel her hatred for the dark hunters. "I'm fine, I mean there isn't much I can do about it. Like you said she was probably being reckless, probably a good thing it happened after she visited me." Delia responded as if it didn't bother her. She was good for that, hiding her feelings for the most part.

Finally they reached Medusa's, she still found it chuckle worthy that the meeting was being held there. She began to wonder who called the meeting in the first place. "You'd think with everything going on the wolves and vampires and whatever would get over themselves." Zachary said breaking Delia out of her thoughts and she chuckled at her statement. Delia could kind of agree, she honestly didn't know why the two species hated each other so much.

She took a look around the room and saw dark creatures she hoped wouldn't be there, Necromancers. Suddenly bitterness boiled up inside her as she found her seat and sat down as she gave them bitter stares.

"I've seen better days. You?" Price had asked him. Augustus listened to the bickering around him, particularly that from Nadia. The last thing they needed was to start a brawl. "Not so good, especially in these times." He looked at the other werewolves and shifters. There were quite a few, always in a pack. Vampires didn't work that way. They were more distant, only coming together when in dire threat, such as the current crises.

"Since I know it's going to be brought up in the meeting, I want to discuss it now." He began, waving Nadia in to join the conversation. "As far as I'm concerned, there's no good reason that there should be beef between us. I've been on this earth for two thousand years and I still don't know what this feud is about. While I'm sure that many of my kind would like to continue this pissing contest that we've been competing over, we unfortunately have bigger troubles on our hands."

"I suggest he have a truce. Together we have a much better chance of survival than separate." He held out his hand as a gesture. Price was no friend of the vampire, neither were vampires to werewolves. Yet Augustus knew that Price wished only what was best for his pack and a truce could possibly save them.

Luca hadn't be outside with Terry and the Vamps for more than a minute before the hostile Nadia chimed in at his question, “It’s as if we are in a zoo with all these animals.” He leaned forward slightly to glance around Terry's head to look at the feisty brunette vampire, "Well then you should feel right at home." He smirked while raising a brow at her. Luca quickly began to feel like everyone was showing up at the same time, because not shortly after the witty banter with Nadia, 2 more women showed up at the Medusa. One saying very loudly for all of them to hear, "You'd think with everything going on the wolves and vampires and whatever would get over themselves." Being the smart ass he is, Luca glanced over his shoulder towards the female, "Hey, this whatever is a Shapeshifter." He pointed at himself when he said "whatever" and then gave a thumbs up at the end of his statement.

Luca shifted his attention back towards the elder male vampire before him, that addressed Terry about the very evident Elephant in the room. "Since I know it's going to be brought up in the meeting, I want to discuss it now. As far as I'm concerned, there's no good reason that there should be beef between us. I've been on this earth for two thousand years and I still don't know what this feud is about. While I'm sure that many of my kind would like to continue this pissing contest that we've been competing over, we unfortunately have bigger troubles on our hands. I suggest he have a truce. Together we have a much better chance of survival than separate." When the male concluded, he extended his right hand out towards Terry in offering of a truce. Luca was slightly impressed by the blatant openness of the vampire, but he still didn't like the idea of the truce. How long could it honestly last? But this wasn't his decision, it was Terry's.

Georgy grew impatient in her chair, bringing her left hand up to push back the sleeve of her jacket on her right arm. Glancing down at her watch, she saw the time, and with an aggravated groan she stood up, pushing her chair backwards. Weaving through chairs and people, she made her way to the curtain door, walking through it nearly bumping into a woman with blue hair. "Oh... sorry." She offered an apologetic smile, while holding open the curtain door for the female and her friend. Once they were through she headed towards the entrance of the bar, pushing chairs out of her way, not really having the patience to weave through them. Reaching the door, she pushed it open, "Sorry for the interruption," crossing her arms over her chest while propping the door open with her right foot. "Luca! You can be pissed at me all you want... I don't care. But please take your sulking ass back inside." She motioned her hands in a circle, pointing them towards the inside of the bar, "I'd appreciate having my giant, brute of a brother backing me up."

Georgy waited a moment in the doorway, flashing everyone else around a smile. She didn't like coming off as a bitch but her brother was ridiculous. Luca, still not moving, she sighed heavily while tapping her foot loud enough so he would hear it. "Jesus Georgy I'm coming!" He practically growled. "Thank you," Satisfied, Georgy smiled happily as she spun around to go back inside. "I saw that," She didn't have to look back at her brother to know that he rolled his eyes at her as he followed after her.

Upon reentering the increasingly over crowded room, Georgy made her way to head of the table while Luca maneuvered through people, taking a seat beside Luna. Standing at the epicenter of the room, Georgy cleared her throat nervously before speaking towards everyone, "Hello everyone. First of all, I'd like to thank everyone for coming. I know it's a lot to ask, and many of us don't quite see eye to eye." She shot a glare towards her brother before continuing, "We all know why we're here. And I, as much as the next person, wish that we didn't have to go to such extremes but... I fear we have no other choices at our disposal." As she continued to talk, she noticed she was gaining more and more of the rooms attention. And as more eyes settled on her, she began to grow more and more nervous. She hated being the center of attention and her brother gave no support, sitting there watching her like everyone else. The nerves began to make her hands shake, and to avoid looking weak or scared to everyone else, she placed her hands down on the table leaning against them.

"Our numbers, as a whole, are a fraction of what they used to be... And within the last decade at least 5 other species of Supers have gone extinct." Georgy swallowed hard while glancing over towards Declan and Dezember, hoping to get reassuring smiles or something from her friends before looking back out towards the group. "So we need to figure out how we all are going to turn the odds in our favor!... And as much as we hate it, we all need to work together."
