Aleron awoke from a heavy sleep finding herself on the hard floor of a ship. After slaughtering her own family, Aleron fled France, taking the first ship she could find. She had no clue where it was headed, she just needed to flee her home, she needed to escape from herself. A slight groan escaped her at the uncomfortable sleep, a hand rose to touch her sticky mouth and sudden wide eyes looked at the bloodied fingers as she moved them before her face. Images of her husband and daughter filled her eyes, their screams filled her ears, the memory of her sucking them dry. A single tear crawled down her cheek, her hands began to tremble at that horrid memory and she punched the floor of the ship with a force she did not know she had, it cracked and a split was sent rippling over the surface. Looking back to follow the split, her eyes grew wider still as the frozen faces of many around her lay lifeless on the floor. A small cry of horror left her stained lips and her shaking body stood, stood above a ship full of the dead, she had killed them all.
A body of a child struck fear into her very soul, it's dead eyes pierced into her own in accusation, in disgust. Aleron's screams echoed through the ship, bouncing off the walls for all to hear her horror. She ran to the side and without a thought she threw herself off from the lifeless ship, her body plunged into the depths of the cold sea. Her torn and blood stained dress floating up around her and she swam, she swam with all that she could, she needed to get as far away from that terrible scene as possible. Her eyes were wild, darting back and forth beneath the ocean, even the life there knew what a monster she was for at her presence they darted away, to be safe from her clutches, to be safe from her fangs. The light of the moon shone down on to the sea below, gently caressing each wave of the water as in danced in the moonlight. Her body surfaced and she looked to the distance to see a ship yard. She made the distance within seconds, not even realising how she did, her hands shot out and her long nails found the wood and she pulled herself up on the dock with ease. As her body found the dock, she collapsed onto it, her body sobbing for what she had done, for what she had become. Aleron curled her body in on itself, ''Vampire...'' She whispered as it finally dawned on her what she now was. She squeezed her eyes shut and cradled herself, she couldn't bare to open her eyes and see her blood stained dress, to see anything. From what little she knew about vampires, what she had read in childhood stories and seen in horror films, she would lay here and let the sun rise take her life, she did not deserve nor want to exist any longer, she was broken.

"Well now, what we got here, looks like a little lost bird" He rested in a crouch on a high broken half mast of what once would have been the makings of a ship, the scythe resting against the spine and shoulder blades of his form, his artic blue hair catching the light at times. He had gathered by the muttered word she was speaking of herself. He moved to seat himself cross legged on the wood like platform, always holding a love for high places rather then low, when he was low he was more watchful of his back, one thing he hated was being taken by surprise from above or behind.
Watching the strange woman, he could tell she was upset but at was another story, now allowing his feet to swung underneath him, watching her with dark lightning blue eyes, his age showed in his young facial features, moving to allow his body to fall backward off the mast and land in a crouch on the deck a few feet from her, straightening up but kept back, he was not about to approach a vampire more so one in her condition. "Oi I am talking to ya you know"

Eyes darted open at the sound of incoming footsteps, the beat of an alive heart rushing in her ears, Aleron's thirst was evident when she grabbed her throat violently, ''Enough!'' She screamed at herself, she wanted this being's blood as she had wanted the others, she would do all she could to disallow herself to kill him too. Aleron bolted up to sitting, her grey eyes searched the young boy, he was either brave or stupid but Aleron did not care for either. One hand still on her throat, her other clawed into the ground beside her, desperately trying to stop herself from following these newfound instincts, instincts to rip this boy apart. ''Please, please go...'' She said with desperation in her voice, she did not want to kill anymore.
She scrambled to her feet in the blink of an eye, backing away from him with all that she could, her body was telling her otherwise, but her mind was battling against it. She must look as though she was a crazed soul, maybe now she was, she did not know.

Snickers. "Just my luck a new born, well have fun with your new life woman" He laughed hard, he didn't care what happened to her, that was clear but he didn't care for anyone, turning and pulled out a small bag from his shirt. "Here, this should tide you over, catch you later then" He leaped up and hang back upside down on the mast, looking down at her almost as if he was studying how she would be off the blood then after the blood, that blood was not human, it was designed to be much stronger to help new born's with their thirst.

A snarl escaped her as she stilled, instead of moving backwards she now crept forwards, his laughter irritating her, angering her. He threw something to her which she caught in a quick flash. Glancing up she looked at the boy hanging from the mast of a ship, ''Strange boy..'' She said to herself, he seemed to find her situation amusing, it wouldn't be so amusing if she were to attack him. However, her eyes went back to inspect the bag, ''Tide me over?'' She thought to herself, a slight frown knitted her eyebrows together. She lifted it to her nose and took a deep sniff, immediately her grey eyes turned a deep red and without so much as opening the bag, her teeth pierced through the material, consuming the sweet, sticky substance within.
After draining the bag, she threw it back up to the boy, the red in her eyes disappearing again to their natural light grey, ''What was that?'' She asked as her hand released itself from around her throat. ''Who are you?''

Chuckled, swinging back and forth. "Name is Taz as to what you just drunk, it's genetic blood which is a hell of a lot stronger then human, it is designed to help a new born to come to grips with what they are or in your case give you back your sanity least till you need to feed again" He slid free and spun before landing behind her in a crouch and smirked more to himself. "Well least you seem coherent now, you got a name?" He leaned back, the massive scythe catching the light as he rested both hands behind his head, watching her with sharp eyes, he may not be as strong as he but he would have his speed on her more so if she was a new born.

''Genetic blood?'' Aleron spoke aloud but more to herself, she had never heard of such things, but whatever it was it seemed to have done what the boy had intended it to do. She turned as he landed behind her, her extreme quick movements a surprise to herself, this would all take a lot of getting used to. Her eyes glanced to his weapon as he leaned back but he seemed the type to have used it already if he was going to at all, ''Thank you, Taz.'' She said, she wiped the drips of blood from her mouth, looking down her eyes showed tell tale signs of the grief she felt, ''I need to find new clothes.'' She said, wanting to clean herself up. ''My name? My name is Aleron.'' She spoke in her thick French accent, meeting his eyes. Her head turned inland as she looked around, her eyes travelled far further than ever before, she could hear everything, footsteps, heartbeats, the flapping of tiny bird wings. Her hands went to her head as she seemed to be in pain, ''Where...where am I?'' She asked, she had no idea where the ship had brought her, no idea at all.

Tapped his chin against the gloved hand, grinning to himself. "This is the lands owned by the famous twins but that's all I know, I am new here as well so I am not much help but that blood is rare cause it is my own" He stood and looked inland before landing with ease on his feet beside her and pointed to the inland. "Best place to get drunk and find clothing but that is as much help as I can, you are French. Long way from home Aleron" He rested his hands into his pockets, he kept a slight distance between them but he was not afraid of her.

''What famous twins?'' She asked, having no knowledge what so ever on the subject. So he was new here to, Aleron didn't know why but she found some comfort in that knowledge. Her hands went down to her sides and she tilted her head slightly, ''You gave me your own blood?'' She asked, it seemed a strange thing for him to be carrying around on him, she wondered what he did. ''So, you are not fully human?'' He had the heart beat of the human, the smell of a human but that blood was, as he said, 'genetic'. He got up to stand beside her and although he seemed to keep some distance, it wasn't enough for her and she stepped back a few steps. He had knowledge, knowledge that she did not and as Aleron looked to the inland where he pointed, she was slightly reluctant to leave him. A brief moment of closed eyes at his words before she opened them once more, ''France is no longer my home, and can never be again.'' She spoke quietly, the words causing a stabbing sensation in the base of her throat. ''Can vampires get drunk?'' She was curious of this, maybe the alcohol would help her drown her sorrows.

Shrugged more. "All I know is that it is owned by the famous twins, don't know their names and yes I am fully human, my blood is unique cause I am a lab baby and how should I know if they can or not, I'm not one" He chuckled to himself as he looked at her again. "Only one way to find out I say, come and drink with me and see if you can, would be a great way to drown that upset mood of yours" He started walking, he had yet to fully explore the town but he had found the bar and that's all he really needed more so cause even though he was human, he could hold his drink well.

Aleron ran her fingers through her hair, ''A lab baby?'' She asked her self, what the hell? She wondered if he had been 'created' for a specific purpose. Many questions crossed her mind but she glanced to him with a half smile, he asked her to go for a drink, ''Well I suppose we will both learn something new this night then.'' She began to follow him, her arms crossed around her stomach defensively. ''Lead the way.'' She spoke with her eyes to the ground, she would have to walk by a lot of humans, the bar would be a particular difficulty to her she knew, she just hoped that Taz's blood would stem her cravings long enough.

Chuckled, he leaned closer to her for a few moments. "Means I was not born to a mother or a father like you were, I was made in a lab, the purpose was to create a new blood supply that would help vampires, but back then money was a big problem so they made only one, Me" He stopped when they came across a shop for clothing, he looked at the closed building for a few moments. "You said you needed clothing right?" He didn't dare ask what her size was, he had learnt the hard way on that as he simply kicked in the door and walked in, looking around. "Take your pick"

She had a quizzical look on her face, ''No money back then? How old are you exactly?'' She asked, he looked so young, and he was alone by the looks of things, Aleron did not think that fair, one so young should be surrounded by their family, but he had none. She stopped when he did and shrugged her shoulders after he had broken into the shop, walking through the crack of the broken glass below her feet, she began to look around. Aleron picked up the first items she saw that were in her size, she did not believe she had the right to be picky under the circumstances, ''So, the people who made you, what happened to them?'' She asked as she moved between the isles, grabbing some undergarments and some boots. She located the changing room and slipped in behind the curtain beginning to change, ''So, wait.'' She said having rethought what he had said, ''You were created to help vampires? Why would anyone want to help them, I mean...us.''

Watched her and sat on the counter. "No it was not to help vampires but it ended up working out that way and I am nineteen" He looked away when asked what happened to the rest, he just shrugged and lay back on the counter, staring up at the dark roof. "They died, seems that karma has a way of fucking shit up huh" He laughed, it was almost pained as he just rested his hands back behind his head, letting her take her time in choosing what she wished to wear.

Aleron could hear the pain in Taz's voice, she wondered if they had died at his own hand or another way, she was not going to ask. ''Karma, is that what you call it? In my case it was just some fucked up fate.'' She said as she changed. She pulled the curtain over to reveal her new attire, black skinny jeans with black leather knee high boots and a tan leather jacket over a turtle neck black jumper. All black it seemed to be, besides the jacket, but as she looked down she did not mind, it would allow her to be in the background and not draw any unwanted attention and it just so happened to be the colour of mourning.
She walked over to be beside him, but still, as she had been doing, kept some distance between them, she said with a small smile, ''I'm ready.'' she then made her way back out of the shop, just in time as the alarm started to go off, ''Well that was one hell of a delayed reaction.'' It was either that or she had been moving at incredible speed, she held the stained and torn dress in her arms, she planned to burn it at some point.
