Take the Heat - Open

[Tenshi Sekiyo]

Tenshi pushed up his glasses a bit. What DID make him different?
"Well, if I drank your blood, you wouldn't die. It'd be more of a high or something like that. Plus, Ash over there prefers MY blood to yours. And the thing that separates me from the Royalty is my suave charm. Well, that, A five hundred year lifespan, and an arsenal that would make the US Marines blush. Pretty much, I'm a real vampire."

Alonda had her story for sure, too bad no one would get it. She almost always knew. But then again who would really want to admit that. However the thought those Vampires were as he said real, and he was one made her slightly shiver. Really, those where what fathers warned you about when being bad, stripped down to a class act novel or movie these days.

“Well, I hope you can forgive my shock. I don’t take it that many people actually know these things.” She said trying her best to keep herself and a conversation going, but it felt like it was holding on thin lines. Simply Alonda did not know what to say. She was great in her columns but person-to-person was not great, and it goes to prove person to vampire was worse social skills.

It was good o know if he drank her blood she wouldn’t die (but he could make her think anything also makes one wonder). Regardless she would prefer her blood to stay within her body. That she was sure went without saying, because she did not have to say much for him to know what she was going on.

Tenshi shrugged. It was understandable.
"More than you think. We actually have people whose job it is to give blood to us." He sensed another Strigoi in the room and sighed. Today was not his day in some respects.
"Excuse me for a moment." He scanned the minds of everyone in the room. His target was the gentlemen over there playing poker in a poorly worn Armani suit.
"Now, that's just a disgrace." Blacking out the minds of everyone but Alonda, Tenshi walked over and cut his head off.

Alonda was both surprised and not that surprised to hear such a thing. However as much as she might think she doesn’t like her job, that just proved things were worse. The idea that to live a person had to drink blood was nothing that really gained her fancy. She was not the girl who read stories of vampires, or of the creepy things that go along with them. Granted she was aware of these things. It just wasn’t her cup of tea. So to be the one sitting and speaking with a person whom clearly lives the life of a myth concerned her slightly.

As he killed another without any hesitation Alonda could not help but jump a little, but no one would know why with his ability to take away that knowledge. Did it worry her more that he killed to people or that there were two people in the very casino she was in to kill. How many more were around just waiting. And while he said he was the good guy, dose she really have the choice in believing him or not. It was difficult to know when playing with the mind.

Sure that would be the time to slip away like she often did at parties, but her sneaky ways were not that good to get past this one. She had a feeling if he wanted to he could find her at anytime. She was still unsure of her level of concern. Fear was such a natural reaction, she wondered if she would get past it.

So who did he work for? Royalty? Missionary? Things he had previously said drew questions in her mind. Who was he looking for, or what?

Tenshi sat down at the bar and ordered a Dr. Pepper.
"No, no alcohol." The barkeep shrugged and handed Tenshi his order. Tenshi thanked and payed the man and began sipping on his soda.
"Trust me, I would've already done something to you if I wanted to. However, hurting innocents has always been a sore spot for me." He looked at the poker table.
"Guy smiling with the shades has got a Royal Flush."
