[glow=purple,2,300]Hello! This is a semi literate and up please! Thanks![/glow]
((My intro may take a while but here it goes!))
It was a cold Autumn's night, trees swayed lightly in the soft breeze. It was around midnight, but the city was alive with cheer and glee. It was a rather large city, that had many bars and clubs of all sorts, what ever your taste was, you would find it in the city of Valencia. In the East is a great forest, while to the west is a great lake.
Sitting on a branch tree, a figure of a female rested, quietly. Sure, she seemed like a normal older teen, but how could she reach the highest branched in the grandest tree of the forest? Simple. She jumped. Her left leg dangling off the branch, the girl slept deeply as the cold Autumn air blew through her raven black hair. Wearing all black also made it more difficult to see her, but the pale shade of her skin made her more noticeable. Pointed ears were visible from her hair, thanks to the breeze, but her eyes remained hidden. Yawning, she stretched out her arms, and continued to sleep.
Turning her neck, two marks were noticeable, a mark that looked like a bite, and on the opposite side, was a tattoo of a moon with a rose crossed through.

((Wow, your view of a vampire is a whole lot different from mine XDD)) His skin was paler than the waxing gibbous moon hanging high over the night sky. The city was abuzz with nightgoers and little kids running around in costumes with bags of candy and their wearily trailing along parents. He walked through the streets, slight breezes ruffling his longer reddish blond hair. His honey-colored eyes scanned the little children with amusement. Occasionally he would find one dressed up in the human falsety version of his own species. He would roll his eyes at the plastic fanged teeth and lick his own fangless, yet venom-coated, ones. He flashed his pearly white smile to some people, and they seemed a little frightened. But it didn't bother him. They were just ordinary humans. They meant nothing to him. He turned a corner and smelt her. Another one like him. But she had the oddest sort of scent. Curiously, he followed it, and when he looked up he saw with his superb supernatural vision a pointed-eared girl with a crescent mark that was just a little more white than the rest of her on her neck, beside a tattoo. And she was sleeping. Or pretending to be. She had to. His kind was physically incapable. Try all they might, they could not. And her scent... it was so foreign! It almost reeked.

Smelling another scent in which was different from a human, she opened her eyes. They were different from a mortals, and this is what usually distinguished her from the others, black rimmed eyes, yellow inside.

He jumped up easily onto the branch on which she sat, and crouched gracefully on it. "Hello," he said coolly, taking in her appearance. All things had a specific scent that identified them, including his kind, but never had he come across one who's scent was so otherworldly. Nor one with appearance such as this. Usually the purpled bruises under their eyes vanished when they were no longer thirsty, but her eyes were yellowed and bruised. Obviously, she was on the animal-hunting diet like himself, or her eyes would be crimson and glowing just a tad. And those ears...! "My name is Ashley. And you are?"

"Umm.." she hesitated, being a bit shy was always one of her set backs when it came to men, especially when they were the same species as her. "The name is Ki, it's nice to meet you." Ki blushed the very little her skin allowed her to. Why is he staring at my ears? she thought quietly to herself, as she touched her ears with her long nailed pale hands. "Why are you out on such a night as this?" Ki asked quietly as she continued to fiddle with her ears.

Ashley couldn't answer her question. He was in shock. "You - you can blush!" It wasn't a question. But this was pure proof that she was not a true vampire - for the venom that transformed them stopped the heart and sapped all the blood away. The blood they drank didn't replenish that in the slightest. And if she had blood beneath her skin, it was obviously not much, because she, like all vampires, were so pale that if they still were human and that color, the slighest blush would color the entire face.
Without thinking, he grabbed her hand and felt it. It wasn't warm, but it wasn't as frigid cold as his was. Finally he looked up at her suspiciously, and answered her question with another. "What do you mean, 'out on such a night as this'?"

"Ummm." she shook at the reaction of her blush. Why is he freaking out so much? And why the hell is he holding my hand?! she thought in silence as she yanked her hand away. "I mean, why are you out on Halloween? It's not very common to see others around here, you know?" Ki spoke, regaining confidence in herself as she stood on the strong branch of the tree.

He laughed, at last realizing what she meant. "Oh, I was just returning from a Halloween party some friends from school invited me to," he answered casually. "Not a big deal, really." He smiled. "I see you got all decked out, unlike I," he said with a chuckle. "Where'd you get those ears? One of those Lord of the Rings conventions? They look so real...!"

Chuckling at his rude remark, Ki rubbed her ears in a certain way, making them lower to a regular size, but still had a small point at the end. "No, they are real... Ashley" she gave with a grunt, but then started to laugh at her childish ways of being 'mad'. "School, huh?" Ki said with a chuckle, thinking of how he was trying to get 'closer to the prey' as she would call it.

"Yeah, my family goes really overboard with the whole 'blending in' thing," he said, rolling his eyes. "Not that I need to go to school. I already have over four masters' degrees. How about you? Since you're obviously on the diet too, like me and my family, do you live in the woods or do you go to some other school? I haven't seen you around... are you a drifter?"

"Well..." Ki began, thinking of her life of eons. "I don't really come from this land, I hail from Europe, where I was born in the Black Forest in Germany. I was a doctor for about, I don't know, around, ten years? I had to stop there and go to Russia for a while, so that they wouldn't suspect anything. After being there for another ten years, I went to Japan, and did the same there. After Japan, I felt so bored of the whole doctor thing, so I went back to Germany, and spent some centuries in the Black Forest with my family. Times were much harsher then, then now. It's easy to feed now, 'cause every gothic or emo kid you meet wants to become a vampire, but it's different now then it was then. Now, we can kill them in the bite, but back then, it was very, very different!" Ki ended with a chuckle and a shake of her head, as she looked back up to the moon.

He looked at her in horror. "But wait... so you mean to tell me you're not on the diet?" He could've sworn... her eyes - ! He couldn't believe her story.

"Of course I am! Why wouldn't I?" Ki exclaimed, shocked that he would even think about her not being a true creature. "How old are you? And, if you read your little history books, you should have come across a little mystery about some killings that people were sucked completely dry? If you hadn't I think that's an insult.." Ki smiled, knowing only some books carried the horrific story of children and teenagers being slaughtered like animals. That was her story.... Long before now....

"I was born in 1873 in south Georgia," he answered. "I was just curious, because you're talking of killing humans and you're on the diet, so..." He stopped, and shrugged. "Well, I know a lot of wipeouts that vampires got out of control with were covered up by humans, claimed to be a disease or plague of sorts."

Ki began to laugh. "They covered up all those killings with the word 'plague'? HA!" As she laughed she jumped down to the ground, making a loud thud in the process. "Well, I tell you, mortals these days come up with the stupidest, absurdest things!" Ki continued to laugh but then stopped as she looked up to Ashley. "You want to join me? I'm going to meet up with my brother, but I'm not exactly sure you will enjoy his presence." Ki grinned widely.
