The Great Game. (Bucks and I - for now)

[Lady Amira Nuit]

(OOC: What I am looking for in this thread is another male vampire character to go up against my villain. His best friend will be a werewolf that I have created as well.)

Alex had no idea what was in store for him the moment he stepped outside his home. The pack was on the trail of a murderous gang of vampire scum that he so desperately wanted to rid the world of. But, as his pack continued on something told him he had to stay behind. As he walked the streets he heard a cry for help and went to the aid of a group of vampires who were feeding off a young wolf who looked scared out of her mind.

"Hey," Alex yelled out not really sure what his game plan was.

The group of vampires - maybe 5 in total - looked from the half naked wolf towards him. All began to grin.

"Look what we have here boys. Dinner and a show."

Alex didn't like his odds but he couldn't just stand by and watch them torture another one like him. He had to do something. "Leave her alone!"

Three of the vampires turned towards him, taking one step at a time before they were just 5 feet away. "Look mutt we don't have a beef with you. Why don't you go home to your master?" They all laughed.

Alex wasn't laughing. "Leave her alone or..."

"Or you will what puppy?" One of the vampire said interrupting him. "Come, come now. We were going to let you go but I am sure you are taking that option away from yourself."

"This is a battle you will and can not win but I don't think you care, do ya mutt?"

"Maybe we can have a little fun with them both?" All laughed at that comment.

Alex wasn't liking where this was headed. "I am warning you. Last chance to let her go!"

"A hero to the end. Such a cute little puppy. Can't wait to break him!"

Two of the vampires rushed at him from either side. He jumped doing a round house kick to knock both of the on their asses. The other vampire that was next to his leader and the young wolf came to the other 3 to aid them.

"Well, he has a lot of fight in him but four against one. I think we can manage."

Alex was about ready to either pull out his gun or to transform and the second option he really hated doing. Until they heard fighting from behind them. Alex only saw a blur of a man that appeared from the shadows and began to fight against the vampires. He yield at him to get his head back in the game as two of the vampires charged at him once more. Alex was happy to have someone else help him but it seemed unreal that they could win this battle. Hopefully they could.

[Bucks23]

Grey had been walking through the city. His head down and his hands stuck into the pockets of his oversized duster coat. A slight build and short, messy black hair adorned the head of a handsome faced teenager with pale features, though most were hidden by shadow at the moment. The buzzing racket of heavy rock music could be heard from his ear phones as he had the volume turned up much too loudly. He wasn't heading in any particular direction. An immortal never felt the need to hurry anywhere in particular...

Suddenly the hairs on the back of his neck started to raise and he felt that tingly sensation that only meant one thing. Trouble. Not trouble for him, there was no reason for him to feel under threat... but something nearby was going down and for some reason he felt drawn towards it...
Taking his ear phones out, he turned his head towards the alleyways. The weak street lighting illuminated his face and shined brightly in his pale lilac eyes.

In a blurring flash of moment that no human eye would be able to follow, he moved through the darkness. The vampire's body became one with the shadows as he moved up and along walls until he came to look over a curious scene. A gang of vampires appeared to be getting challenged by a lone man who seemed intent on rescuing a woman from within their midst.

He listened to their insulting prattle and threats. They called this man a puppy and wanted to break him in. Grey decided he could hang around and perhaps watch the ordeal as it would certainly play out. What happened next took him by surprise. The man had talent, that was obvious as soon as he took out two of his assailants with a well placed round house kick. But against four opponents... the man still had no chance of victory, no matter how hard he fought. A deviation was needed.

With a quiet sigh, Grey dropped from his unseen vantage point and dropped onto one of the rear most vampires. With a lightning fast movement, he snapped the neck of his victim. Though it wouldn't kill the vampire, it would certainly cause him a lot of pain and more importantly take him out of the immediate fight.

Grey locked eyes with the man he had decided to aid, the other vampires were using the moment of distraction to lunge at him. “Fight now, talk later.” Grey warned. “Get your head back in the game.”

Grey turned to the remaining vampire as the other two made an attack on the man...

Above them all, thunder rumbled in the black sky, fortelling of the storm that was about to come...

[Lady Amira Nuit]

As the man shouted at him Alex turned as he blocked a right hand jab and returned with a punched to the vampires ribs then spun his fist upper into the vampires jaw braking it. The vampire went crash to the ground screaming as he held his mouth. The other vampire grabbed him from behind throwing his arms around Alex. He could feel the vampires breath on is neck probably about ready to bite. Alex elbowed him in this stomach then spun with a right hand to the vampires nose also breaking it. Like this friend the vampire fell back holding his nose.

He spun to see just how well the new guy was getting along. The man seemed like he could handle himself well in the match but then he looked past to see the leader of the group still holding the young wolf girl. He rushed over as the vampire held her up by the head.

"Let her go and you can live!" Ben huffed hoping these vampires saw this was a losing battle.

The vampire chuckled. "It seems tempting but..." The vampire leader suddenly snapped the young wolf girls neck and pushed her limp body away from him letting it drop hard the ground.

Alex was in shock. His eyes fixed on the dead wolf before him. Suddenly the vampire leader charged at him when suddenly the air was still. Alex didn't recall the man saving his life at that moment but he does remember him helping him to his feet. "Uh....thank....thank you." He manged as he looked at the dead wolf's body. 'She was like me. A wolf and I couldn't save her.' He looked around and saw the other vampires were gone. Either dead or ran off. He was unsure of which sense he didn't know anything about this new man and what his fighting style was. Still it seemed nice that some people in this city - even though its not their fight will still come to ones aid.

He walked over to the young wolf and turned her over onto her back. The girl was young and a blonde. She had high cheek bones and pink lip stick on. Her shirt was ripped from her body only leaving the girl her pink lacy bra. Her jeans were torn and she wasn't wearing any shoes or shocks. They were robbing her and using her but sense her jeans were still on they didn't get to use her for everything sexual. That was a plus, right?

Alex shook his head as he said out loud but not to anyone in gentle, "It shouldn't have ended this way. I was here dammit! I was fighting for her and I was going to save her. But, they took that away from me!" He didn't know what to do. This battle seemed long ended for him and he felt like even though what he has supposedly done in the past had made the difference for losing this one life - now he was starting become unsure.

[Bucks23]

As the leader of the vampires went for the young man, Grey had just sent his own assailant flying from him. He turned, spying the leader knocking the man onto his back, about to force upon him the same fate as the unfortunate female.

Acting fast, and knowing his actions against an elder of his race would have seriously bad repercussions later, Grey kicked against a length of drain pipe, snapping the pipe and creating a very crude spear. He launched the sharp tipped weapon at the vampire and it impaled him through the back.

The older vampire turned to him with the pipe protruding from his stomach. Glistening bloody guts hung from the pipe like obscene ribbon. Glaring at one another, there was a silent and extremely dangerous challenge. As thunder rumbled once again overhead, a flash of lightning signalled the end of the battle and the vampire gang suddenly fled to lick their wounds.

Grey knew he had just made himself one dangerous enemy, but being a very practical man he knew there was no point dwelling on it right now. What was done was done.

The first rain drops started to fall as he helped the other man to his feet. He shrugged indifferently to his thanks. “It's no problem.” He muttered, taking a step back as the man went to check the murdered female over. Listening to the man's words he realised why their scent had made him so curious.... werewolves. Oh man he had just risked his immortal existence for an ancestral enemy. This was about as ironic as a situation could get. Damn.

“I'm sorry it went down like this... but it did, and you aren't about to change that.” Grey spoke softly, not sure why he should offer any words of comfort to this dog, it wasn't like it was his responsibility to do so or that he owed him anything. But every time he thought about abruptly leaving, he found himself unable to do so. Perhaps this man could help him, if that vampire was to return it would be good to have a powerful ally at his side. This man could help him make his claim on this part of the city.

“You just can't save everyone.” Grey said, putting his hand on the man's shoulder and sensing his inner turmoil. “My name's Greyson and I've been watching you for some time." He lied for effect. "I think we want the same thing, to rid this city of the scum that infests it."

[Lady Amira Nuit]

Alex sighed. Trying to clear his mind of uncertainty, he turned his attention back to the the man who had saved him as he said, "My name is Alex and..." He paused looking Grey up and down. He had a fighters build and looked rough around the edges. Something he did not expect. "And the pleasure is all mine."

'Dude, did I really just say that out loud' he thought. He began to rub the back of his head as he turned his gaze from him hoping he didn't catch his meaning. "So, uh, so you were saying something about we wanting the same thing? Oh, about this scum in the city? " He took a deep breath as he still smelled the scent of vampire and seemed unsure where it was coming from other. He then decided it had to be coming from the dead wolf on the ground. She smelled nothing but vampire.

"Yeah, I want that too. To rid this world of a$$holes." He chuckled to make a little light of the situation. "I am glad you were near by though." His mind was racing as he skipped over the other words he had said about watching him. He just didn't know what to make of the man before him. "So, should we uh..." suddenly he heard a howl of his pack headed his way. It seemed someone had found out what happened and was coming to his aid.

'Little late for that don't ya think' he thought to himself.

Suddenly Grey seemed like he wanted to take off but Alex wanted him to stay. "You're with me so it's okay." But, Grey didn't seem convinced so Alex decided to take off after him. As he caught up he asked, "So, where are "we" going."

.......

He watched from the rooftops above glaring down at the scene before him. His long over coat following in the breeze as his arms were crossed over his chest. In all the madness he was so hoping to see the little mutt himself killed but sometimes plans do change with someone else putting their nose in where it didn't belong.

However to his surprise the man that interfered had been the one he had been following for a little while now, learning anything he could about the vampire he sought out after. Something about the vampire called to him and he wanted the vampire on his side as his right hand man. He knew deep down that he could be a most promising ally for him but now as he watched on something had changed and not for the better he might add. It seemed he must keep his distance for the time being to watch the scene play out before him between the two worlds. "In due time," he muttered to himself. "Then the fun will begin."

[Bucks23]

---“You're with me, so it's okay,”---

“Uh-- Yeah,” Grey said, raising an unconvinced eyebrow. “Like that's gonna stop them from ripping me apart.”

Unsettled by the howling of the approaching pack of werewolves, Grey made his getaway. He launched himself through the night, uncertain of what he was going to do now he had realised Alex wasn't a lone wolf he could manipulate. He was sure the Alpha of his pack wouldn't be so quick to trust a vampire, no matter what his intentions.

Grey had put a good bit of distance between himself and the alleyway where the recent fight had taken place. Stood on a rooftop somewhere in the city he relaxed for a moment and wondered what to do next. His pale lilac eyes scanned the streets below as he contemplated his next move.

---“So, where are 'we' going?”---

Grey spun at the sound of the voice and turned to find Alex stood behind him. What the hell? It seemed incredible that such a young wolf had managed to keep up with a vampire moving through the night at such speed.

The surprise drained from his face and was replaced by a c0cky half smile. “You just don't let up do you? Must be a part of your charm. If you must know where I'm going, I feel a bit drained after that fight and would like to replenish my stamina if you know what I mean.” It seemed the wolf didn't so Grey rolled his eyes and said. “I need blood, man. But don't worry, I don't kill for it, I got some stores at my place, which is where I was heading or I mean 'we' are if you still insist on coming?”

It seemed Alex did and so Grey lead the way, bounding effortlessly across rooftops on his way to his current residence. In the corner of his eyes he watched Alex, judged his abilities and determined that he would make a worthy ally and protector during the daylight hours.

“Here we are,” Grey announced without relish. “My home of homes.” They were stood in front of a run down looking apartment building. Grey lead the werewolf down into his basement abode.

Inside his room, Grey opened a small refrigerator and took out a pack of blood in some kind of plastic medical container. He tore the corner open with his teeth and poured the contents out into a glass. All the while he kept one eye on Alex, watching as the werewolf checked out his place. There wasn't much to look at as Grey kept it simple and wasn't the materialistic type. He just had a pretty big collection of music, all in the same vein as HIM, Evanescence, the Rasmus and Korn.

Alex seemed to catch Grey watching him and Grey raised his glass. “Uh... it's always better straight from the vein but um... I don't attack people any more and just moved here so I haven't had time to meet a willing victim yet.” Grey took a nice big gulp of the blood then lowered his glass again, wiping his mouth with the back of his hand. “Sorry, I know this must be a bit unsettling for you. I wish I had a drink to offer you but I don't have anything else. So... did you know that female wolf that was just killed?”

[Lady Amira Nuit]

Alex's smiled as Grey spun in surprise to see him standing behind him. Something about the man was just drawing Alex to him. He couldn't put his finger on it which made him very curious so he didn't want him to get away. As he listened to Grey his brow shifted upper in his own shock that Grey was a vampire. How did he not know that? Still the man did save his life and being a vampire or not, Alex still wanted to hang out with him. So he agreed to join him.

As they entered Grey's home Alex quietly scanned the room and then turned his gaze towards Grey noticing him watching him. Alex's cheeks flushed as he listened to Grey's words.

"Willing participant," Alex said abruptly with a smirk on his face. When he saw Grey tilt his head in question Alex continued. "If you say willing victim it sounds so negative but if you say willing participant to occasionally get a small taste from to keep your strength up, well, it doesn't sound all that bad."

Alex really never had any close friends before. Sure he was a part of the pack but he still felt like an outsider looking in because of his history. His father had been a brave man back in the day and he knew back then the world was a lot worse for ware. Now, everyone was in it for themselves, unlike Alex though, he wanted to protect everyone. He always put himself last because everyone else who needed help came first. Then why was he here in this vampires home? Because the vampire put aside his own selfishness and helped him. That ment he was truly worth Alex's time.

"No worries mate," Alex said as he sat down on a chair, "I could just have a glass of water from the tap." As Grey bright him the glass he nodded a thank you before taking a sip. Then he watched as Grey sat in another chair opposite him and gave him a weak smile. "No, I did not know that female wolf but that's besides the point. Those," he paused searching for the right words so he did not offend Grey, "Those bastarters were taking advantage of someone weaker then them and in my book that isn't alright. Something had to be done. Although I will admit I wasn't fully thinking when I stepped into that battle and if it wasn't for you I would probably be dead too."

He looked at Grey as he caught his gaze. "Thank you for that by the way. You didn't have to do anything at all and yet you helped me." As he smiled then, it reached his passionate blue eyes which were full of curiosity and with tilting his head to the side he asked in a soft tone, "Why? Why did you help me?"

He saw Grey shift ever so slightly and if he wasn't focused on looking for a change in the man's expression then he wouldn't have noticed it all. But, he did notice it and wondered if Grey knew he had. The smile still remained on his face as he took another sip of his water waiting for Grey to explain himself.

[Bucks23]

Alex's sudden question irked Grey slightly, he didn't really know how to put his reasons for helping the werewolf into words, but Alex was still waiting for him to speak so he had to offer something.

“I guess I saw something in you, something worth risking my immortality for.” Grey said, staring at Alex with a penetrating gaze. The werewolf would probably find this creepy but Grey had long since stopped caring what people thought about his personality. He had a dark sense of humour and a flirtatious side to match, whether he was dealing with women or men. Someone didn't live forever without finding some time to experiment.

“At first I thought I was settling down to watch an execution. One against four seemed pretty certain odds that you were done for. Then I saw you fight and I guess you stirred something in me, I had to act. And so here we are...” Grey's eyes gleamed as he settled back in his chair and drank the last of his blood. He grimaced at the last mouthful and put his glass down quietly on a table. “It never tastes good when it isn't fresh.” He shook his head with regret then turned his gaze back to Alex.

“So, we know there is a clan of vampires here in the city that are picking your wolves off. Maybe we could work together here and investigate their nest and see about bringing them down.”

[Lady Amira Nuit]

Alex let his smile fade as Grey's eyes felt as though they were looking through him into his soul. It felt a little odd but if the vampire was going to hurt him he would have the moment they entered his home. Listening to his words it amazed him that a vampire would risk anything for a werewolf. It was truly unheard of. Still it felt nice and he hoped to become fast friends with Grey but he was unsure of how to go about do that.

"For one, I apologize if my comments were a little rude. I've just never had a vampire save me from their own kind before. I'm brain is still having a hard time processing this." He paused a moment looking for the vampires glass of blood on the table to Grey's lips. There was a spot of blood still on the vampires lips that Alex felt the need himself to remove. Instead he looked down at his own glass of water that was empty itself so he placed it on the side table.

He looked back down at his hands as said,"I would like that very much. To work together I mean. It will be fun." Alex was staring at the back of his right hand as he just now realized their was dry blood on it. It had seemed one of the vampires had cut him without him realizing it. He took his nail and began to scratch at it which made a very small bead of fresh blood trickle through. Holding up his hand he said, "Looks like one of those vamps got me without me realizing it."

The bead of blood started to slowly run down the back of his hand to his wrist. At first Alex was unaware of Grey's dark gaze until theirs eyes locked. It was intense, so intense Alex felt a little aroused by the other man's burning gaze. Alex jaw set as he screwed his eyes shut for a moment. Slowly reopening them he met Grey's gaze again and held out his hand. He nodded at the vampire as he said, "If we are going to work together then we need to learn to trust and I feel like I already trust you." He paused then added, "And I hope you trust me." Alex wasn't for sure of what he was agreeing to but he liked Grey and felt already a connection with him. If this is what he had to do then he would do it for his friend. He softly smiled at the thought awaiting for Grey to make his move.

........................

Vincent was sitting at his desk looking over the four different computer screens before him. With a heavy sigh he was truly unhappy about what was perspiring on the screens. "You don't need him!" He shouted at the monitor. "I can give you everything and more! Just kill the mutt!" But, instead the vampire did not hear his words of protest - like he could - and he watched as the vampire gave the mutt a glass of water and began to talk to him like he was an equal.

"Dammit!" He shouted. Suddenly there came a rapping on the door. "I'm busy!"

The door opened as a red head slipped her head in through the crack. "But, sir. You requested the file for me to retrieve. I have it here now, sir."

"Then bring it to me!"

The red head rushed over and handed her boss the file. He then waved for her to leave. She did without another word and closed the door closed behind her.

He looked from the monitors down at the file before him. The label on it read, 'Jackson, Alexander.' Vincent smiled down as he opened the file. "Oh, you are such a bad little doggie, aren't you?" He purred as he looked back at the computer screen. Suddenly he felt a knot in his throat. Time stood still as he watched the mutt hold out his hand towards his vampire. He paused thinking about that for a moment. 'Yes he was his vampire,' he thought. "Don't you dare!" He shouted. This had gone on far enough. He had to do something to get them apart before...His eyes grew wide as his mouth agape as he watched what his vampire was about to do.

[Bucks23]

Grey watched Alex closely as the werewolf seemed to be struggling with something. Was that arousal he sensed? Interesting. He sat casually and slowly ran a finger tip around the rim of his glass, creating a small haunting tune. He listened to Alex's words and watched as he stood up and thrust a hand in his direction.

Grey peered at the hand offered to him, thinking about what Alex had said about trust. Trust was important and Alex seemed genuine. Grey had smelt the blood and had known it was there, even though Alex had only just noticed his wound. A younger vampire would have been on him and biting into that hand before he could move, Alex was lucky Grey was older and possessed more self control. Though a taste of werewolf blood intrigued him, it had been a long time. He wasn't sure if the intention behind the offered hand was in greeting or so that Grey could sample his blood.

Grey got out of his chair and stepped up to Alex, he took the werewolf's hand in his and looked down at the small wound on the back of it. He lifted Alex's hand for a closer inspection and looked like he was about to lick the wound. He didn't. Lowering Alex's hand, Grey shook it and smiled at him.

“Trust is a rare thing to come by in this place.” Grey said, still holding his hand. His smile faded and was replaced by a more serious expression. “You should not be so quick to give it. Someone could take advantage.”

The smile returned as Grey's mood softened and he released Alex's hand. “If I am going to trust you completely maybe you should show me your wolf form. If you're shy I can turn around while you get undressed?” He winked at Alex with a mischievous twinkle in his eye. He folded his arms and stood back as he waited for Alex's reply.

[Lady Amira Nuit]

Alex's breath becomes shallow as he feels a tingle at the spot where Grey started to touch his hand when taking it in his own. He watches the vampire with fascination as he examined Alex's hand without so much as taking a taste. When the vampire slowly releases him, Alex was beyond thrilled. Even more that he found a friend that not only he could trust but truly liked him.

When he heard Grey ask him about his werewolf form, Alex felt a little ping in his chest. No one had ever asked to meet his wolf before. Grey was becoming full of surprises and Alex couldn't help smile back at him.

"Uh, no it's fine. I...uh...sure." Alex's blushed a little as his hands reached down to the bottom of his shirt. Pulling up slowly and up over his head he stood their for a moment under Grey's intense gaze once more. Even though Alex thought he should probably feel embarrassed or even a little awkward about taking his clothes off in front of another man he hardly knew, he didn't. It didn't seem to phase him really other then he might feel a little nervous because he did like Grey. What if he wasn't his type? If he wasn't, Alex could still make the friend thing work between them and he push his feeling down, burring them so deep to make sure it wouldn't be awkward between them. He started to have a hint of doubt about this but he didn't want to disappoint Grey. Alex wanted them to be friends and to trust one another and if Grey wanted to see his wolf then Alex wasn't about to deny him.

He kicked off his shoes and pulled off his shocks. Now, for the hard part. Alex does not realize he is biting at his lower lip, with his hands shaking just ever so slightly they reach up to his jeans, unbuttoning them and begins to slowly pushed them down. Funny thing was Alex wasn't wearing any underwear so when he pushed past his hips, his c*ck popped out and it was slightly hard to begin with. His face turned so many shades of red until it landed on a shade of the brightest pink that he doubts anyone had ever seen before.

He couldn't meet Grey's eyes as he began to rub the back of his neck and then he placed his hands downward to hide his growing erection. "Uh...Sorry. I'm not sure what...Let me just..." He suddenly turned his back to Grey not knowing what was going through the vampires mind. He wasn't that he was scared, more like he was anxious and just wanted to transform. That way neither his growing erection or his white tight little a$$ wasn't continuing to stare his friend in the face. So he screws his eyes closed as tightly as he could and began to coax his werewolf out. He suddenly began to scream as dark brown fur began to rip through his skin.

Alex fell down onto his hands and knees as his werewolf came out before the vampires eyes. He turned and bared his teeth at first but when he sniffed Grey's hand the wolf's expression slowly began to lighten. The wolf suddenly sat back on his butt like a dog while he c*cked his head slightly and just stared at Grey. Never had Alex's wolf felt like this before. It seemed his wolf liked the vampire too and that meant really good things for the both of them.

.................

"F*ck it! F*ck it all to hell!" Vincent screamed as he jumped to his feet lashing out at one of the computer screens. He pushed it off his desk, sending it crashing to the ground and just watched it spark while the screen went black. This wasn't good. None of it was. It would have been better if his vampire would of tasted the wolfs damn blood. God, he was pissed.

He looked back at the three remaining screens and slowly sank into his chair. A smile crept into the sides of his lips as he heard the wolf agree to change into his wolf form in front his man. "Now, this will be entertaining." His eyes grew wide in surprise and his mouth agape watching the young wolf strip in front of his eyes. His vampire just sat not moving, just staring at the wolf. "Do you like what you see?" He asks his vampire even though he still couldn't hear him. Just then the wolf striped off his jeans revealing a some what stiff erections. Vincent couldn't see his own face but if he could it would be one of amusement with a hint of shock. "Awe, the puppy has a crush. Oh, this might work out better then I last hoped."

Still watching he saw the mutt transform and which made Vincent even more interested then before in the young wolf but making him nothing more then a chew toy. He couldn't help but giggle and the irony of his train of thought. Sense the puppy's wolf seemed to take a liking to his vampire, Vincent knew now how to play this for his own benefit. If his vampire wasn't going to to join his side then he was going to do whatever it took to convince him that he didn't have a choice. He wanted him to lead his army and maybe they could have a little bit more. Vincent was very picky when it came to what he liked in bed and he knew his vampire would be a handful. But, now if he refused then Vincent was going to take it upon himself to show his precious little vampire what happens if you refuse. He will make sure to make hisvampire suffer in ever meaning of the word. Starting with his new found pet.

[Bucks23]

Grey watched as Alex nervously undressed. His eyes dropped to the young man's groin and he spied the already stiffened manhood that made a sudden appearance. Quite an impressive sight, the werewolf would be able to do wonders for a girl with that thing.

A sly smile tugged at the corners of Grey's lips as he realised Alex was no longer able to meet his gaze and he studied the rest of him as he turned his back to conceal his shame. It was almost like a dance of seduction, though Grey instinctively knew that Alex wasn't skilled or old enough to have gained enough experience for a display of such innocence, it was 100 percent genuine. The werewolf's obvious crush was quite cute, though it had been more than a few decades since Grey had last been with another man.

Grey watched as Alex forced himself to change into his wolf form. This was a tense moment for the immortal vampire indeed... if Alex's alter ego decided he didn't like him, it was unsure whether he had the strength to put up much of a struggle against such a beast in such a confined space. But he need not have worried.

Grey approached the impressive beast as it sat on it's haunches and sniffed obediently at his hand.
“Well, hello there,” Grey spoke softly, letting out a relived breath. “Good boy, it's nice to meet the real you. Come outside with me a moment.”

Grey backed towards the door, still keeping his wits about him in case the dangerous animal snapped. Opening the door he lead the wolf out into the cool night air. Soon dawn would break but the next couple of hours was theirs to do with as they pleased.

Grey took a deep breath, his nerves were tingling with worry but he felt compelled to do what he was about to do. It broke every law of nature and super nature, everything in their breeding determined that they should be the worst of enemies, that this next simple act was an afront to the way of things...

“Easy, easy.” Grey murmured, approaching the beast. Curling his fist about a lock of thick, strong fur he pulled himself up to straddle the creatures back. Sitting on the werewolf's back like he was some kind of a prize horse, Grey leaned forward to rub his head and speak softly into his ear.

“Let's see how fast you can go...”

[Lady Amira Nuit]

(OOC: I thought is was best to go ahead and through the meeting in. Don't have to give to much away but if it will be a mini-series just thought it would be best.)

Vincent closed his eyes as he watched his vampire walk out the door with the mutt close on his heels. "Well, it seems I will need to do this the hard way, won't I?" He said to the screen. With a heavy sigh he stood and headed out the door. A black car was waiting for him out front as he headed off in the direction he knew the two would end up. All he wanted to was to talk. Make him an offer and hopefully if his vampire was smart, like he knows he wass, he will take the deal.

Although, if he didn't, then Vincent wasn't going to lie to himself. He was so excited about the out come. He wanted to play and he would defiantly make sure they both played his games. It wasn't like they had a choice in the matter. He chuckled to himself as the car came slowly to a stop...

....................

Alex's wolf followed Grey out the door and onto the street. The wolf was a little timid at first when when Grey whispered into the wolf's ear, Alex complied and took off running. The wind whipping onto their faces as the world around them become a blur. Nothing else matter, it was just the two of them.

Then the wolf came to a stop. His head up as his eyes twitched like he was listening for something. Then he began to growl as he looked around but saw nothing. He could hear Grey in his ear to try and steady him but Alex's wolf was prepared to fight.

Suddenly a black car drove up and stopped about 20 feet from where they stood. A very well dressed man in a dark navy suit with jet black hair stepped out of the back. He couldn't help but smile a genuine smile at Grey as he said, "Well, isn't that cute. A boy playing with his dog." Alex's wolf bared his teeth growling at Vincent. If there was one thing Alex's wolf knew it was who to trust and this guy was screaming of evil.

"Oh, please little puppy. Don't be like that. I just want to talk to your master, okay?" Vincent's set his gaze to Grey's while his smile began to twist into something darken then it had been before. "I've had my eye on you for a little while now and I must say I am truly impressed with what I see. I'm looking for a right-hand man and I would just ever so love for that man to you." He started to rock on the balls of his feet as he placed his hands behind his back. "What do you say?"

Grey inserted himself slightly between Alex and the well dressed vampire. He could tell the vampire was an elder and therefore extremely dangerous... perhaps even more than the two of them could handle. If the wolf attacked and the three of them were drawn into mortal combat the outcome would more than likely prove fatal for Grey and his friend. A different kind of tact was needed here... perhaps Alex's clan would find them and provide them with the much needed support they needed... or maybe it wouldn't come to that.

Grey didn't try to urge Alex to calm down, it would have been a condescending gesture towards the werewolf and it would have shown their visitor that their relationship was less than equal.

Grey met the stranger's gaze with his pale lilac eyes and kept a casual expression on his face. “I would say that you need to apologise.” Grey smiled wider at the puzzled expression on the other vampire's face and then indicated Alex pointing his thumb over his shoulder. “I am not his master, Alex is my friend and my equal. Now what exactly do you need a right hand man for?”

Vincent looked from Alex and then back to Grey and couldn't help but chuckle. "Really? That's what you think he is? Your equal? How cute." He looked back at Alex again with disgust. "He thinks of you as an equal pet but we both know that's not entirely true."

Alex began to growl as he took a step closer. The werewolf wanted nothing more then to rip out the throat of the elder vampire before him but now seeing red dots dancing over Grey's and his body, it made him pause.

"That's a good boy," purr Vincent. "Don't want you to do something stupid to get my vampire killed now, do we? Hm?" He turned his gaze back to Grey with a smile twisting up on his face. "Like I was saying before Grey, I've been watching you and like what I see. I'd love for you to come work for me. There is so much I could teach you and give you to you that you can't anywhere else." He then motioned to Alex. "I will even let you pet live." But, the words 'For Now' hung in the air and Alex growled again picking up on it. Vincent just smiled at Alex and then at Grey.

Then he started to take a few steps forward making Alex tense. He moved his body between the elder vampire and his new friend not wanting the evil vampire to get to close. Vincent stopped only a few feet away and chuckled as Alex was trying to protect Grey from him. "You only just met and yet your already a loyal dog. How interesting." His gazed moved back to Grey's as his features turned dark and his eyes soulless. "I want to rule this city Grey and with your help I know I can do just that. Never have I found what I had been searching for until you. I want you at my side." He placed his hand in his pocket and pulled out a card. He threw it down at Alex's feet. "That is my cell number. I will give you a little time to think it over but please don't make me wait to long. I'm a very impatient man and very unpleasant when annoyed."

He suddenly turned on his heel and began to walk back to his car when he stopped and looked back. "Oh, and one last thing. If you do not agree to work for me then I will make a fur coat out of your pet. I think it will look good with one of my nicer suits." The elder vampire smiled which sent a shiver down Alex's spine but the werewolf still growled and stayed between the madman and Grey. "Think about it," Vincent said in a sing-song tone and over his shoulder as the driver of the black car opened the door for elder vampire to get in. As the car was pulling away the red dots disappeared from off of them both.

Alex looked up at Grey with so much confusing and fear on his wolf face as he then looked down at the card. He so badly wanted to change back to his human form but he had no clothes in order to do so which would leave him naked. They had to get back to Grey's home before something else would happen that they were unprepared for. He wanted to know what Grey's thoughts were and what he was going to do. This madman wanted his friend, maybe his only friend, and Alex didn't want that. He wanted to stay with Grey. Wanted to be with him and fight at his side. Why all of a sudden would this vampire show up now if he had been watching Grey in the first place. What had changed? Then he realized it was Alex himself. Grey saved and befriended a werewolf. Something wasn't right and they had to figure out what that was and hopefully soon before the elder vampire made his move.
