Darla nodded and stood there for a second, she looked around and felt a presence that she hadn't felt for years.
"Arthur..." She whispered.
She followed Tarishe.

Trance's footsteps were relaxed if swift as he searched for traces of the other mutant he'd met. This was not his first time encountering another of his kind, but it was his first in a while and he planned to capitalize on it. There must be some way to find out more about her, he thought to himself. He hoped he hadn't scared her off with the violence, but too many people were making rash attempts at things they couldn't accomplish on their -best- days and he wasn't having any more of it. He paused beside a tree, leaning onto it with his left palm as he glanced up and down the well lit streets, adjusting his meta vision to pierce high beams of various vehicles and see the drivers thereof with clarity. He felt an odd rustling and noticed that the tree was reaching out to him. The branches distended oddly against the night breeze rather than dancing with it, the leaves rattled gently and the limbs murmured pulling beyond normal hanging position to encircle his body.
What's happening..? He thought to himself as a vine from the tree crept down and wrapped around his hand. He shuddered and closed his eyes as he began to see vision after vision in his mind, of people being chased and murdered senselessly, homes broken into, inhabitants carted off to prison and beaten, others slain before the eyes of their infant children. But these weren't mere people. These were -mutants-. Hundreds of them, everywhere his mind was taken he saw more and more of them. All misunderstood, all hated, all hunted. He blinked and blood tears spilled down his face at the visions. Then he saw others, not quite like his race of mutants, but mutated just the same. The dark ones, Vampires and Lycans, often the worst enemies of his kind, feeding on the helpless or untrained to steal their powers for their own evil purposes.
"What the deuce?!" He gasped as a radiant angelic woman appeared before him. Annika, the first mutant queen. He'd read of her once, in books he was unearthing in a catacomb grave beneath a library in Bucharest, the capital of Romania. Trance's eyes went wide with disbelief as he felt eons of joy surge through him, then sorrow as he looked on the pale face of the crimson headed emerald eyed angel. He shook and scurried back against the tree, into it's embrace, afraid. He gasped for breath as her stony eyes look down on him and she reached out her hand. Nothing had made him afraid in his life since losing his parents. What was going on? Annika's white gown billowed about her radiating mutant light up and down the lawn of the parking island and tinting it's grass a glorious white. He reached out and took her hand. More visions. The past, the present, then the future. Too much agony, hope, and joy to describe at one telling passed from her timeless mind into his.
He felt for the first time that there was a reason for his existence as a mutant. So many times in the past he tried to change himself to "normalcy" and time after time he failed. But now, now it was for real. There was a reason more than the rush of a secret kiss or the light in a woman's eyes. There was a reason beyond being more able than humans. There were other mutants out there, the guardians of nature, and they were being killed off at an alarming rate. If something didn't happen soon, they would die out and man's earth as he knew it would be destroyed by his own carelessness. All of this flashed through his soul at one fierce revelation as Annika let go of his hand.
He fell back on his knees shaking and wept. She slid a warm, ivory velvet hand under his chin lifting his countenance. In the face of his current dissipation, she smiled a slowly spreading smile that became like one he'd never seen before. "Mother.." escaped Trance's lips with hushed awe."Yes my child. Go." It was all she said before she vanished just as suddenly as she had appeared with the night wind. On his knees, he looked up at the stars, hands in his lap, wondering if it had all been a dream.
Not a moment to lose.. rang through his head. A black Bentley in oncoming traffic flashed it's lights twice. The engine idled as it parked. Trance narrowed his eyes holding up a hand against the blinding light. Not again.. he grumbled mentally as he rose to his feet, focusing through the high beams. The man with the eagle tattoo on his face got out of the driver's side seat. Before Trance could blink someone nearby opened up with an automatic, steel tips ripped through his chest and side. He smriked with pain and anger, pointing at the man with the tattoo, Jensai, an e-Yakuza gone awol, and he looked at the headlights of the vehicle, focusing his manipulation of ions there. "I should have known." The headlights sizzled and went out.
Trance went aqueous to the dismay of the trio of M-16 toting thugs who opened up on him from beside the opened doors of the stalling car. The bullets splashed through him as he healed and laughed. He manifested whole again and extended a hand toward them, curling it upward in an odd dance of foreboding as the bullets they'd spent appeared in his hand and hummed about in a tornado. He smirked again, eyes looking up from the rounds to the gunmen. The bullets flew. Jensai went down with a cry of surprise, taking hits to the left femur and pelvic bone. He spat at Trance who approached rapidly and stood over him. "Tell your boss I want my chalice." He spoke tranquilly and walked away. A wide-eyed kid on a bike hustled off to make some newspaper rich the next day. |Cont at Black Swan Manor|

Tarishe pushed the cover off the sewer and pulled herself up onto the street. She stood up and frowned checking herslef over there didnt seem too much damage. Shaking her head she ignored the starnge looks she was getting from passersby as they walked past the woman surprised at seeing a beautiful woman pulling herself from a sewer in the street.
"What?" she demanded as one man openly stared at her and she shook her head and stormed off down the street.

Matt strolled down the street, the collar of his jacket flapping around wildly as he did. He let out a sigh, he had walked this very street a million times before in his life, but however each time, somehow it seemed different. Each breath let out a slight mist into the cold air as he carried on his walk down the familiar street.

Tarishe strolled down the street humming the tune she had played on the piano for Darla sher mind tried in vain to figure out what it was and was failing miserably. She smiled at passersby as she was walking thinking how lucky each and every one of them were she wasnt particulary hungry

Matt bumped into a woman ((tarishe)) accidentally. She didn't seem pleased
" hey, sorry "
he mumbled, starting to walk off. However, after a few steps he turned around to check the woman out, as he usually did when he came across chicks

Tarishe frowned at him.
"Watch it, idiot!" she growled. She stayed where she was watching as he walked away then smiled slightly as he turned and looked back at her. She sighed and shook her head then smiled and inclined her head at him.
"Sorry! just watch where your going next time!" she called even though she hadnt been watching herself.

Matt walked a little closer, putting his hands in his jacket pockets
" damn! thats one attitude problem"
he smiled and looked around to the rear end of the stranger
* and one fine ass...*
He held out his hand, after returning his gaze to her face
"Matt"

Tarishe raised an eyebrow and looked at the extended hand before looking back at the strangers face. A million thoughts seemed to wander through her mind the first being that she was about to be friendly with a mortal. She hesitated slightly then she smiled and gripped the hand with her own cold hand in a firm grip
"Tarishe, errr sorry about that i wanst really watching where i was going either!" Here eyes drifted over him as she spoke and she smiled liking what she saw.
*Shame hes mortal*the thought made her smile slightly and she let his hand go.

Matt froze to the spot. Her hands were cold as ice. He hesitated slightly
" guess theres no problem then "
He smiled fakely, realising that there was something strange going on. Normal people DO NOT get that cold, even in this weather.

Tarishe smiled then a frown flickered over her face as he seemed to hesitate. She glanced down looking at her hands then up again smiling lightly.
"I have a circulation problem if the cold surprised you!" she smiled and looked at him the lie rolling easily off her tongue..

Tarishe smiled at him.
"No not really just inconvienient!" she flashed him a winning smile keeeping her mouth carefully closed and turned as though to walk away.
"I guess I'll be seeing you then Matt, the music is calling!"

" where you heading? " he asked, rolling the stick back and forth in his mouth

Tarishe smiled
"Im off for a night of dancing!" she smiled
"I hadnt thought about where yet" she thought about the clubs she knew of.
"The Moonlight Dance club is my usual haunt!" she smiled at him.
"You?"

Tarishe nodded watching the stick as it moved around.
"Ok then I guess I'll be seeing you around!" she smiled slightly.
"Unless you want to go for a drink?" she asked looking at him. Again a frown flickered over her face.
*What the hell am I playing at? Hes mortal I cant drink with a mortal!* she thought then dismissed it.

((First Post)) Elektra tilts her head and took the strawberry Popsicle from the ice-cream man. She winks adjusts her black hat and turns away sucking and enjoying the taste. She never ate a Popsicle or ice-cream before.
As she made her way down the street she kept starring at people walking, laughing...real people. She turns left and stopped waiting for the green light

" i don't usually drink with strangers "

" you never know what they are really like"

Tarishe nodded
"Very wise!" she said with a smile. she searched his face with her eyes. It was obvious by the way he was acting he had figured something was up. She shrugged and smiled.
"Well i'll be off then" she smiled at him and turned walking away slightly. She frowned and shook her head as she paused.
"If you change your midn Ill be at the Moonlight Dance Club!I promise I wont bite!" she smiled slightly at the private joke then headed off down the street her hands tucked firmly in her pockets.
((TO the Moonlight Dance Club))

It clicked in Matts head. Either that was a very unoriginal joke... or a sick one. Though he didn't see any fangs or claws, Matt decided it would be very wise to stay away from that woman. He leant up the wall and closed his eyes, continuing to flick the cocktail stick around in his mouth as he thought.

Elektra crossed the street slowly with a big grin on her plastic almost real face. Suddenly she stopped before a man drinking a....what was that?....anyway, the thing he was drinking is not something they told her about. She moved closer and licks her lips her violet eyes starring at his lips as he flicks the cocktail stick..

Matt opens one eye and looks at the strange woman. His gaze travelled south, and then back north again. He opened the other eye and stopped leaning against the wall. He turned to face the stranger.
" er? can i help you? "
he asked

Tarishe wandered along the street back in the direction she had come from and was surprised to see Matt still standing where she had left him. She frowned and smiled as she realised he had attracted the attention of apparently yet another woman who appeared to be staring at him. She stopped a short way away and raised an eyebrow.
"Popular arent you?" she asked with a smile.

Matt turned to Tarishe and smiled, shrugging his shoulders
" what can i say... i'm a great guy"
He took the cocktail stick from his mouth and flicked it away onto the floor. Matt pulled at the collar of his jacket slightly and looked from one woman to the next
