Walking into an alley briskly, Arinus checked to make sure no one was looking. In a rush of wings, he propelled himself into the sky impossibly fast. From his view, he could see everything...including a certain winged humanoid touching down at a house several miles out of town. She was an unknown, and possibly very dangerous. Meh, what the heck .
With a small focusing of his will, he had appeared some thirty yards from the entrance of the house materializing from the ground. Disguising himself as a bird, he listened to the conversation through sensitive ears from the branch he was standing on.

Alide shook her head and watched as the shadow Freefall had been play with raced along side the car, "I don't know her I have never met her but.I have reason to believe she maybe family to me." Alide looked over at Matt and her eyes gleamed with a slight ethereal light.
Allen chirped up, "Mom your eyes are doing that thing again!" Alide shook her hand and looked out the window.

Matt couldn't understand the big deal, if she didn't know her why bother looking for her now? Even if they were family. Realising he would never truly know how chicks' minds worked, he just shrugged, "I wouldn't bank on a very warm welcome, the girl is a godamn recluse..." He trailed off when he heard Allen mention Alide's eyes. He glanced briefly at her and started in alarm when he saw them glowing. He nearly crashed the car. Somehow he kept the vehicle on the road. "Jesus lady... you one of them supernatural folk huh?" He said, "We don't get many of your kind around here. Figures there was somethin' wrong with ya if you were wantin' to see Elizabeth."

Alide scrambled for a hold as the car swerved and Allen skittered across the back seat, "Oh Sh*t!" She glared at Matt when the car straited out, "There is nothing wrong with me! I just have a bit of bad blood thats all, and I was not even hoping for a welcome I just have to know if she is my sister or not." Alide looked back over the seat at Allen, "You okay baby?"
He sat up right, "Wooooo! Lets do that again!" He grinned at Matt, "That was fun Mr. Matt." the childs happyness seemed to radiate from him.
Alide shook her head, "great, this is the last thing I need my son getting hyped over a car." She shook her head, "Yes I am one of those supernatural folks, my mother was a bloodrider my father a human." She grumbled and stared at the floor of the car.

She had her head bowed when the door was opened, so she didn't immediately notice the problem.
But her head snapped up fast when the firmly male voice came from the doorway. She knew, didn't know how she did, but she knew that Elizabeth lived alone. Why would...?
Her analytical mind quickly resolved the issue. There were a limited number of reasons why a scruffy looking man would be in the house of a young, very attractive woman's house. Few of them good. Many of them extremely bad.
Her sword lept from it's sheath, literally all of it's own accord and settled into her hand and laid it's length down on the man's shoulder, edge of the blade just kissing the skin on his neck.
"Tell me. What would a man be doing in a woman's home - a woman who lives alone, mind you - at this hour? Apart from the obvious reasons, which, in more civilized times, would have earned you death."
Her tone was like liquid ice, burning and chilling at the same time. Freezing everything it touched. Her accent was odder by far. It was like someone had given velvet a sound and put it in this woman. She sounded...exotic. Old. Almost....ancient.
Yet the visage of the 20 something woman in front of him challenged that statement and told him sternly that his ears lied to him.
She raised one eyebrow and pressed the sword a bit harder, hoping to make the man's courage fail and his purpose come blurting out.

Garrett didn't have time to react as the mysterious woman suddenly had him up against the wall with a sword to his throat. Her unnatural speed and tone of voice revealed her to be something certainly more than human. It was a wonder the towel stayed tied around his waist.
Garrett grunted as the sword edge was pushed harder against his flesh. The sharp blade broke the skin and a small spot of blood began to trickle it's way down his throat. He glared into the woman's eyes, making no struggle to escape her hold of him. He grimaced at the pain, softening his expression as a slight grin played across his lips, the carefree look of a man used to living dangerously and staring death in the face. "Sorry honey, but I don't kiss and tell. You want all the gorey details I suggest you ask her-" He jerked his thumb in the direction of Elizabeth's bedroom. "Now since we're asking questions, this 'more civilized time' you're from have any doorbells?"
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Just what the frick is a blood rider?!?" Matt demanded heatedly. The name didn't sound too pleasant. He noticed Alide looking at her feet and sighed, calming himself down. "Look, I'm sorry. It's just... we don't get many people like you in town is all. I ain't never met anyone who wasn't human, completely human I mean. You just gave me a start is all." He looked over at the little boy and gave him a wink, "Hey Mr Allen, if you thought that was fun you should come dirt bike racing with me and my brother sometime." He grinned until he noticed Alide's reproachful look and cleared his throat. "That is uh... If it's okay with your mom." He peered through the dirty windshield and relieved to see an old battered sign that signalled a turn off. "Well, we just about there ma'am." He said and drove them along a narrow dirt track.
"So... you reckon she might be your sister huh?"

She looked at him for a moment. Then her blade fell away and she laughed. A rich, booming sound, it dominated the small area they were in.
"You have an odd manner about you. I like it. It's refreshing.", she said with a smile.
She sheathed her sword, turned to Garrett and bowed. "Please accept my apologies. I acted hastily and without further study." She looked around. "While it is much warmer here than I am used to, it is still rather cold during the night. Might you allow me to come inside? I would wish to speak to the Lady of the House, if you shouldn't mind."

Garrett chuckled and smiled along with the woman, she had an infectious humour. She was beautiful but one hell of a crazy dame. He rubbed the narrow cut on his neck. "Not my place, I'd better wake Elizabeth. Wait here a sec."
Garrett left the woman in the hall as he went into Elizabeth's bedroom. It was still dark inside but he could see the shape of the sleeping woman on the bed. He pulled the door almost closed behind him and moved quietly over to where his clothes still lay in a crumpled heap. He pulled on his jeans and cast aside the towel. He was fastening his belt with one hand as he reached out with the other to shake her shoulder gently. "Elizabeth, wake up... you got a visitor." He whispered in her ear.

Alide rumbled, 'It is fine and a Bloodrider is a race of humanoids that ride upon gargantuan beast called Hellrens, they travel between worlds serching out all those who are of demon desent, we hunt them down and rid the worlds of there evil." She looked over at him with a saddness in her eyes it was deep as an abyss it gave her face an soft hurt look.
Allen grinned and looked at Alide, 'MOM! can i?" he gave her those big pleading eyes and whined a little.
Alide shook her head, "Only if I am there to make sure nothing go wrong."
Allen seemed sadisfied with her answer and sat back in the seat, "Thanks mr. Matt."
Alide sighed, "Yes, I think she and I may have had the same father, but I must speak with her and find out." Alide reached up to brush her hair out of her face and her small pin fell down in to the floorborad at Matts feet she dove for it with out thinking and ended up with her head in Matts lap, "Please excuse me Matt umm... That pin means a lot to me."

Matt glanced at Alide and saw the hurt in her eyes as she explained her story. Returning his eyes to the road, he felt a pang of sympathy for her. He didn't usually care about anyone besides his brother, and even then that love was mixed with resentment. For some reason he found himself wanting everything to be alright for Alide, though he knew he couldn't do anything to help her.
Suddenly her hair pin fell down beneath his chair somewhere and the woman's head was abruptly in his lap. He heard her apology and felt her hands scrabbling around between his feet. He grinned at the situation, it was like some fantasy from his teen years. "Don't mind me." Matt said cheerfully, hoping his jeans did enough to hide the immediate hormonic reaction she caused in his pants.
"We're here." He cleared his throat and announced as they pulled up outside Elizabeth's farmhouse. He smiled at Alide as she sat back up with her precious pin and jerked his head towards Elizabeth's home. "I hope you find what you're lookin' for in there. Come find me in town if I can be of any more assisstance."

Alide snatched up her pin and sat up hearing the laugh in his voice, she could do nothing but smile at him. She looked out at the house, then at the shadow pacing outside the car, she sighd then leaned over and gave Matt a peck on the cheek, "Thanks for the help, I might just stop back by town before I leave." She gave him a dazzling smile then hopped out the car, turning and opening the back door, 'Come on Allen."
The boy scooted out, 'Mom, Are we going to get to go dirt bike riding with Mr. Matt?"
Alide looked the small boy over, "I guess it could not hurt.that is if Mr. Matt is willing to provide the bikes." She looked in the window at him.

"I'm sure I could sort somethin' out." Matt replied to her. He winked at Allen and tapped the front of his cap in farewell to the lady. "Be seein' ya."
Matt turned his car around in a wide arc and headed back off down the road he'd arrived via. He glanced at Elizabeth's homestead in his rear view then gave it no more thought as he headed back towards the store. It would be closing time soon and he was eager to get home after a long' if eventful, day...

Alide shook her head and threw he cloak out and over Allen tucking the small boy close to her so that he was nearly invisible in her shadow under the cloak. She stroked her hand through the shadow creature that followed her. Then moved up to the house ignoreing the eyes that where watching her from numberious places, she reached out her hand and rapped on the door.

Elizabeth turned over and looked up at Garrett. "If you think I have been asleep then you are saddly wrong my sweet." She sat up and looked at the closed door. "I've been awake sense I heard the shower kick on. I was in there watching you. Then I rushed back as I then heard my dogs. I can always hear them." She looked back at him knowing where he was even in the dark. She then got up and threw on her robe as she took his hand in hers. "I want you there with me. Something tells me the hours to come will not be pleasent for me."
As she opened the door to the bedroom and they walked down the stairs to the living room their was another knock on the door then she heard her dogs rushing towards the door. It suddenly opened and then closed quickly but no one was there. At least not visable to see. Suddenly Max jumped threw a window in the living room as glass went everywhere. He himself could see them and began to growl as he moved towards the invisable intruders. Elizabeth knew for sure someone was there.
She moved quickly as she grabbed her shotgun above her fireplace already loaded as she watched the other woman pull her sword. The one Garrett must have been talking with before. She ingored her and moved behind Max as she made Garrett move behind her sense he only still had his towel on. Even now she wanted to ride him until they both passed out.
Shaking those thoughts aside she pointed her gun and said, "Show yourself or in 5 seconds I starting shooting!" 1...2....3....4...." She held the gun so steady it was amazing to those around her. But they must note that she was a sex slave to a very evil man. Lucky for her she learned from the best. Though she knew Matt still blames her for his father passing. It wasn't her fault but she would die before telling the truth about that night. It all was one big mess but she was free and would remain that way. She would just make sure she wasn't seen by him or try not to cross his path if she could help it.

(OOC: Alide is not invisible...lol...but I can work with this)
Alide just stood there and glared at the gun, nice way for a greeting she thought and tucked Allen further behind her body, as she steped slightly into the light, "There is no need for the gungho display of athority." Alide grumbled, "Please put that thing away before you blow a hole threw some peeping pedestrian." Alide was hoping for a smile with that crack but was not sure.
Allen polked his head around the corner of Alides hip only to have her give him a soft shove back behind her, he grumbled and crossed his shoulders stareing a hole into Alides lower back.
Alide stuck out her hand to Elisabeth, "Hi, um, my name is Alide neil Starcomancer." Alide eyed everything in eye range and noted the dogs still on full alert, she looked almost methodical in her sacns of the area and people, memorizing there faces, voices, and sents.
