Dog Days ((Cameo's Intro to the Coven))

[Cameo]

Dirty, scruffy, and hungry, a little inu girl that looked to be eight years old rummages in the trash cans in a back alley for something to eat. Seeing a can that was knocked over, she crouches down and peers inside to see if there was anything for her, nose wiggling as she sniffs. The puppy couldn't remember the last time she had anything new to eat instead of all the old things she found in the dark... where anything unwanted could be found. 'Like me...' She thought to herself.

[Blackblood]

Blackblood had been on his way for the hunt of new blood to be brought for the coven feedings. Or donors. Whatever it was that the people wanted. He could hunt people, and almost was expert at doing so from previous natures, but to bring them back alive was... different. Quietly he walked a long, stepping through the city's old quarter where the strip had been, and now was faced with long rows of construction for the city being rebuilt. A soft noise came from the alleyway, and brought his attention toward what appeared to be a homeless child. With feet planting almost instantly, he cocked his head and stared at the girl. Her ears were strange to him, being furry and pointed, though he was not about to be fearful. If anything, he might've been confused for a monster with the staggering height and clothes in which he chose to dress. Tonight he was a little more subtle, however, choosing a different approach to the hunt. He wore black slacks with a few belts hanging over the legs, a pair of boots, a black open shirt topped by a red vest. His long black hair had been cut somewhat short tonight, and the very back was tied into a small ponytail. His eyes were pitched crimson, though hidden by infamous blocker lens glasses, he cleared his throat looking down at the girl.

"Child? Do you require some assistance?"

[Cameo]

Her heart jumps into her throat as she turned sharply on the balls of her feet with a yip of surprise. She makes herself as small as she can in her crouch, her short tail curving over her rear. Wide eyes take in the man in front of her from head to toe and quiet sniffs. The stranger didn't smell like anything she recognized and so she was on alert for anything that may happen. the girl's brow furrows as she thinks on his words then shakes her head with a confused look on her face. She spoke the same language but the words he used sounded weird to her, not knowing what the bigger ones meant.

[Blackblood]

Blackblood extended a hand slowly, palm faced toward the sky, empty of course. He knelt to a crouch to reduce his staggering height for the woman, before speaking again.

"Do you even know how to speak?"

The hand offered wiggled its fingers, and Blackblood glanced softly at the girl, dressed in rags. He concluded she must have been a survivor of the war, and probably had been living in this alley for several days, if not weeks. Lucky for both of them, the grand hotel was not far. Gems that Blackblood had procured in his travels provided more than enough money for him, and to spare more than enough for anyone. The vampire cocked his head, and even though he could be a terrifying sight to such a small child, he tried his best to sound friendly.

"Come now, I won't hurt you. I promise. I only want to help."

[Cameo]

She flicked her ears and crept forward on her hands and feet, sniffing the air more as she tries to work out what he smelled like.

"I...speak."

Even though he looked different from those she seen walk around a lot, it wasn't his looks that put her on guard but the fact he was a stranger she'd never seen before and he carried such a strange smell. The fact he wasn't human she understood because she wasn't human either.

"You promise?"

[Sauri Matashina]

A new scent drifted on the wind. Her nostrils flared slightly and she turned her head. She moved in a blurr until she reached the end of the street. Her steps became slow and light. She spotted Blackblood, and then the scent came stronger. She approached Blackblood. "Hello again." She spoke softly, then looked over to the small child. "Oh, hello there dear." She said softly, and mimicked Blackblood. she crouched and smiled at the girl warmly. she produced a bright red apple for the girl. "I am Sauri. what is your name child?"

[Blackblood]

Blackblood straightened at the mistress's arrival and ducked back with a bow. His way of making a greeting formal. His eyes turned to the small girl in the alleyway, eyes a-light with interest and curiosity, before they turned back toward the ground. He rose a few moments later as Sauri Matashina lowered herself to a crouch, and stepped behind her, looking down either way of the street, as if expecting more to come to see the new child, or even be following Sauri. Just a second or two later, he returned to his crouch and watched, cocking his head to the side.

[Cameo]

The little inu girl blinks a few times at the new person to come, giving her the same once over she gave the man. When the apple was held out to her, she sniffs it all over before taking it light and quick as a blink from the woman's hand. Looking between one then the other, she could tell that the woman ranked higher up and they both smelled kind of alike.

"Cameo..."

She jingles the red collar with one hand so they could see the tag read her name on it. The girl then holds the apple with both hands while she takes a bite, her sharp teeth sliding through the fruit as if it were a ripe peach. Her eyes stayed on them while she chewed, the colors flashing from deep garnet to deep emerald.

[Alex]

Grinned. Pearched ontop of the roof and as silent as he arrived he leaped from the rooftop to latch onto Blackbloods back. He had been following the male for quite sometime, it took him a few seconds to notice there were others there. The mistress he knew as he lowered his head in a respectful nod then let go of Blackblood's shoulder before blinking at the female.

To most humans he looked nothing more then a nine year old child with mismatched eyes, a small red glow glow showed within the blue and green.Tilting his head every so slighty at the other child, he looked slightly confused at the female child but said nothing. Waiting to see what happened.

[Cameo]

((I'm going to wait for Sauri to post so she can have a chance. ^-^))

[Sauri Matashina]

Saudi smiled when Cameo took the apple from her hand. She then looked at the young boy when he appeared. Her eyes dark and alert she looked at all of them. "Come, lets get out of this Alley." She said and turned. She walked from the Alley, and onto the sidewalk. " you don't have to rummage any more Cameo. We will take good care of you here. "

[Cameo]

Her now grey eyes darted between the three people feeling uncertain about how she should act with all of the attention on her. The inu had spent most of her life on the streets making sure no one seen her while she moved from alleyways to abandoned buildings or even the tunnels under the cities. Because of that, she wasn't used to speaking at all or being spoken to not to mention actually getting seen. After a few seconds of deciding, she follows Sauri but gives the man and boy as much space between them and her while she goes around them. They outnumbered and outweighed her and that made her nervous when before there was only the man, she was sure she could have given him the slip if she had to. Now it would be impossible if worst comes to worst. The small girl shakes her head to clear it of the thoughts, focusing on her senses to let her know if she was in real danger instead of working herself up for no reason.
