Danielle was feeding on a mortal in the subway she was in a secluded corner of the subway platform. She made it look like she was making out with him just in case some poor mortal would happen to walk by them. After finishing with him she dumped his body out of sight and took the time to make it look like he was sleeping. She felt an Ancient walk towards her location. She quickly finished and turned to look at him. He was quite handsome.

"What do you want?" Danielle asked as she looked him up and down.

"He hit on me just to let you know. Hmmm, you're not from around here are you?" She walked towards him with an innocent look on her face. This one had an aura of coldness, she was used to it, but not as strong as this.

The look on her face couldn't have been any more contradictory to her actions. She was young, still a fledgling in his eyes with much to learn. The killing of humans was not nessicary, even if they were making sexual advances at one. Lucian had never killed one who did not have blood or a great sin on their hands.

Liars, swindlers, corupt men of power, murderers, theives and rapest were among his favorites. He was a guardian of both his kind and the kind he used to belong to so very long ago.

"That was still no reason to take his life." His voice was musical, deep and sensual. "It is those like you who endager our kind." Many humans and immortals alike had fallen prey to that magical voice. It was obvious he held great power in it. An auidable sorcery.

"Danielle, don't you feel guilty about what you have done?" He asked, a push in his voice to capture her mind. As for where he had gotten her name, it was easy to pick off the top of her head. It seemed as if she had strong mental powers. For her age anyway, There was no way a fledgling could block his mind from theirs.

Danielle was surprised by the Ancient's power. She felt oddly attracted to him, his voice had a lot of power behind it. She couldn't help but give into that enchanting voice. Danielle walked slowly towards him, her eyes glazed over like she was in a trance.

"I don't regret killing at all. I enjoy what I do. I see myself as a population thinner." She reached towards him, she just wanted to touch his skin, to feel his features.

((Sorry for the short post.))

He looked at the woman, a mere fledgling, as if she were gum on the bottom of his shoe. That was really all she was, an annoyance, a problem that could be easily fixed.

As she reached out to him he seemed to glid out of the way by inches, his movement so smooth and undetectable. "I won't have filth on my jacket. Not the blood of the innocent anyway." He said contemptuously.

His mind was picking through hers, fonding not a speck of remorce in her, only a time she tried to consol her spawn but was unable to do so and gave up. She was only a liability to the continuating secret of the vampires. A killer who left bodies for the human police to find... One who pointed the finger at suspicions of a secret night time world.

His lips pulled back into a fanged snarl as he aproached the woman. "And as a Guardian of both races I cannot alow you to kill them both."

Danielle was wrenched out of her trance by the wrath in the Ancient's voice. She bore her fangs and hissed at him. How dare he judge her!! If she started a fight with him she would surely die, so she calmed down a bit.

"I've heard about your kind before. Making sure there's a definite barrier between mortals and vampires." Danielle spat to her side, knowing it would be seen as a challenge if she spit in his direction. "What if the mortals find out about us? We're the superior race!! We should rule this world not them!!"

Danielle gathered her composure, and almost regretted ranting like that. She bowed deeply, silently apologizing to her superior.

Yes he had judged her, there was no point in denying that fact as he approached her.

He ignored her angry words, they only proved that he had been right in his assesment of her character. "They are not simply cattle or animals for us to bend to our will fledgling!" He growled quietly, pulling her up from her pathetic begging bow with his hand around her throat. "We are neither superior or subserviant to them Danielle. If every one of us had out way, we would be a lost race." Only those who could survive on the blood of animals would life. And those were few and far between.

His fingers squeezed tight around her throat. She more than likely had no use for oxygen, so it would simply hurt and scare her, unless she was one of the few who needed to breath. "There must always be a balance, which is why I still hunt."

Danielle was scared shitless as she felt the Ancient's fingers squeezing her throat. Sure she didn't need to breath, but it hurt her. Even though she was scared, she rather enjoyed it too. She thought, don't dish it out if you can't take it. She met eyes with him, and saw only coldness towards her. She listened to his words and would've responded vocally to him. She knew she didn't have to try to make a link between them, since she felt him mulling through her thoughts.

She couldn't break away from his grasp and she didn't want to. She wrapped her hands around the Ancient's and gently rubbed his forearms. She wanted to carress every part of him.

He was immune to her touch. There was one in this city who was ment for him, and surely it was not her. No lover of his would compell him to carry out his duty of a millinia. His lover would be pure, gentle. Her voice soft, her eyes warm and loving. What this was like he could only remember, emotions and colors had long since left him.

He shut off his mind to her, unwilling to let her taint it as he threw her to the ground contemptuously.

Many humans would have seen this horrific sceen, reporting it at once, but for some reson they were just... ignoring it. It was of no interest to them, or so Lucian made them think.

"If everyone were like you." He said cooly, his face back to it's stony expression. "We would all be dead with in a few years. Without them to sustain us physicaly, we would revert to the primitave, but even that would not satisfy for too long."

Danielle hissed after the Ancient threw her down. He shut his mind to any attempts of her probing. She listened and took it all in. She didn't care about it, but she couldn't help but listen to his beautiful voice.

"What happens to the mortals that know about us? Those who have been left to live after being fed upon? Don't you think that eventually they'd spread their knowledge of us to others?" She asked contemptously. This Ancient was a fruit she could never have, and it killed her on the inside to know that.

Danielle got up and brushed herself off. She wasn't surprised that the mortals who saw them seemed not to notice, must've been one of the Ancient's tricks. She wanted him to squeeze her throat again, she wanted to feel those cold fingers wrapped around her neck. The pain reminded her of all those she killed, and she didn't regret any of them.

"Must I teach you everything fledgling?" His voice was not diminutive, inquisitory, just there. "If you have no idea how to feed without killing you a pathetic excuse for a Mistress of the dark. You claim to have charm, why not use it." He said matter of factly. "The art of seduction should run strong in every female, you wre attempting to seduce me were you not? And rather put out by the fact that it didn't work if I may say so."

His face was impoassive as he turned from her. "I will be keeping an eye on you fledgling. Do not make me hunt you down again." It was a flat out command that he gave her now. "For if we do meet again, it will be most unpleasent I can asssure you."

Danielle shuddered at the command. "I,I,I...know how to...not kill while feeding, but...I choose not to use it." Danielle looked at the ground, he was right she tried to seduce him, but it failed. She was seduced by him now.

She bowed deeply as he walked away. She was quite humiliated and she couldn't bring herself to look at him again. She wanted him so badly, but she could never have him. She focused on the ground. She hated him for calling her a fledgling, but that was what she was to him and she wouldn't try to change that. "I'll be sure to keep away from you." She said with a little sorrow that she couldn't control her emotions near him.
