[/color] But Chase being Chase, he just shrugged his shoulders and sent his brother a smile as he grabbed his backpack and headed out. ”They’ve yet to catch me Peeta. I’m a bit too slippery for them.” At his words, his pupils turned to the slits of his Taipan. Peeta just sighed and locked the door as Chase walked out. He headed to his room first, wanting to rid himself of his school belongings.

It wasn’t long until he was headed out of the dorms and too the forest. Dusk had set in and students were starting to head into their own dorms. Chase kept his shoulders square as a couple of them bumped into him, only to glare at him as he passed. He looked around for a couple seconds before stepping into the forest. He breathed in deep before allowing his falcon shift to take over. It had been awhile since the bird got to spread its wings. Within seconds, the Peregrine Falcon was standing on the ground swiveling its head back and forth as it took in the sights and the sounds of the forest. He let out a loud cry as he spread his wings, letting all the small creatures know that he was on the hunt, and started his flight. At one point into his flight, he could hear footsteps echoing through the forest.

He banked to the left in his flight and flew in the treetops until his eyes landed on a girl walking through the forest. Chase stopped his flight and landed on a nearby tree branch, causing a twig for a branch about to snap as his wing smacked it. He shuffled his body a bit as he watched her tense up a bit. He would’ve let out a laugh if he’d of been human. Figuring it’d be more fun to be that way anyways, he dropped down to the floor in his falcon form, causing more twigs to snap, and shifted into his human form. At her words, he couldn’t help but finally let out a chuckle. ”I don’t know. A murderer might be thrown off by the girl talking to herself at night.” He stepped out from where he had been, so now he was visible to her.

His teeth showed behind a cocky looking smile as he spoke again. ”So Victoria, what is a girl like you doing in a forest like this at night? There’s things out here that bite.” His eyes glowed the golden color of his dingoes for a second before they faded back to hazel.

[/i] to do.”[/b][/font]

He took a couple steps closer and started to almost circle her, like a predator stalking its prey. The inner dingo wanted to play and who was Chase to deny him that want? ”Some people might find it a bit odd as well. Might think your powers are crossing you over to the loony bin like witches before you.” Although Chase seemed to not care, he did know some things about the other species at the school. They had to learn about it and witches and wizards going crazy from using their powers too often was something that intrigued him.

Who wouldn’t want to learn about the crazy part of the hidden world? Chase stopped in his tracks as he grinned at Victoria with a raised eyebrow. ”Well someone got snappy really fast. “ The left side of his mouth quirked up in a smirk. ”A pretty little thing like you would probably end up getting bit by something that looked cute and adorable” Of course his tone was sarcastic as he spoke and he couldn’t help but roll his eyes.

As she questioned him on his own motives he copied her actions, but instead leaned against the tree behind him. He crossed his arms over his chest and then crossed his leg over his other. His posture became completely relaxed. His eyes flicked to Victoria as a smirk covered his face once again. He should look into trademarking his smirk as it showed up so often. ”Actually. It was a stroll. Sort of. I let my shifts run wild after a day of classes. Classes that really aren’t all that needed.” His tone became dry and his lip curled into a grimace by the end of the sentence. He really did hate some of the classes he had to attend. He didn’t find all of them useful. When was he going to have to know about combining chemicals? He wasn’t going to be a scientist or anything. He wasn’t a wizard.

He gave a slight pause before shaking his head and looking back to her as his gaze had drifted down. ”Now. What about you? You didn’t really answer my question about you being out here. It’s only fair to share since I told you….right?” His eyebrow rose in question as his face lifted into a half smile.

Notes: Chase finds her interesting so it's all good lol Does this even make sense? I'm writing it late at night xDDDD Let me know if it needs changing. Hmmm..Chase isn't being so Chase xD AND THIS WORRIES ME

Following the momentary silence that fell between the two, came the distinct sound of clapping along with the crunching of twigs and leaves underfoot. From the other side of the forest, approached a tall and dark haired young man done up in black and covered in tattoos. If it were daylight he would have stood out like a sore thumb but in the night, his choice of clothing coincidentally also served as something of a camouflage. Not that he was trying too hard to stay concealed. He had been however, on the hunt and tracking down the sweet scent of human prey when it lead him here and offered him not only a full course meal but desert and some entertainment as well. He was quickly growing bored of said entertainment though and becoming more impatient and that’s when he decided to give up his hiding spot among the darkness to make his move. Of course, he could be more stealthy about it and use his speed to aid in a quick and relatively discreet kill but what was the fun in that?

“As fun as that was to watch…all this talk of murder is makin’ me hungry.” He announced casually, his clapping coming to a stop as he continued a steady stride toward his targets before coming to a stop just a few feet before them. Those narrowed and unnatural blue eyes of his gave each of two before him a once over, sizing them up and mentally drinking them in before the real drinking began.

“Eeny meeny miny moe.” He sang, eyes shifting between the two with every word. “I wonder where…my fangs will go…” He finished, flashing a fang toothed grin as his eyes landed on the female of the two. Using his unnatural speed he closed the space between himself and the girl of whom he stared down at and gave another look over. After a moment, he reached out and snatched a lock of her hair and proceeded to take a whiff of it, trailing up toward her neck. He stopped just before he reached her skin however, and instead pulled away with something of a frown upon his face. He hummed disapproving under his breath, releasing the gently grip he had on her hair before turning his attention toward the male up against the tree. Using the same speed he had just moments ago, he crossed the small distance between himself and the boy. Unlike he had with the girl, he didn’t simply wind up in front of him but had slammed both of his hands on either side of the other’s head and with one knee wedged just under the guy’s crotch, trapped him up against the tree so he couldn’t slip out from under him. Practically nose to nose with the guy, he, like he had done with the girl, gave him another look over and took a whiff of his scent.

“I think…I’ll start with ya.” He declared in a low, gravelly tone, removing one of his hands from the bark of the tree to trail along his prey’s jaw only to linger momentarily on his chin and make his way down to his neck. He closed his eyes momentarily, taking in a deep breath, thumb pressing just the slightest bit into the skin over the jugular. When he opened his eyes next they were no longer the blue they had been before where surrounded by red as the blood rushed toward his eyes in his hunger, causing the veins about his eyes to stand out and redden. He set his eyes back on the boy he had up against the tree after having let out a deep and slightly shaky breath. He had fed just a bit this night but was still hungry and though he had a fairly good amount of control over himself, it was somewhat difficult to keep from simply delving into the guy’s throat and tearing him to shreds. No, he wouldn’t lose it like that and he wouldn’t ruin this meal by letting his instincts and hunger control him; he wanted to have some fun first.

“Mmm…yer definitely more suitable for a meal.” He decided, lips curling into a wicked smirk before he turned to give the seemingly forgotten girl a wink. “Dun worry, I aint forgotten ‘bout ya doll face…yer much too tender and sweet for a second course.” He explained, giving away the fact that he had already had a ‘first course meal’ tonight. “But ya’ll do just fine for desert.” He assured, not wanting her to feel ‘left out’. “Go on, get runnin’ now.” He told her, nodding toward the distance as a silent gesture to leave. “Make this a little more excitin’ for me hmm?” First he would have his fun with lean and muscular here and if he got what he wanted, he would have a nice game of cat and mouse to entertain him before desert.

[/b][/font] But the vampire straightened up and stopped laughing after wiping his eyes. Confusion was still evident in Chase’s face but a little wariness and apprehension was starting to sink in. He rolled his eyes and spoke dryly as whoever this guy was started speaking. ”Glad we could provide you some entertainment.” He couldn’t help but nod though when the guy asked his age. Yes, he was eighteen.

At his next statement though, Chase couldn’t help but get a bit riled up again. What a blow to his ego that was. His eyes narrowed slightly. Yes. He still really didn’t like this vampire and it’d take a lot for him to ever even want to be near him. ”Yeah. Like I can take your word for it. I’d never trust some rogue vampire.” Chase truthfully couldn’t trust the guy as far as he could throw him. Chase raised his eyebrow right back. What did it matter to him what they were doing? He ignored the part in his mind that stated that he had just asked Victoria the same question. At least they knew each other, albeit not very well. As he disappeared from the front of them, Chase tensed and waited for his voice or a sound before turning around and watching him again. He’d be keeping his eye on him for the rest of this conversation. Which Chase didn’t go on for too much longer, he didn’t know how much longer he could handle this guys prodding without lashing out in some way.

Chase’s eyes narrowed on him again, his jaw clenching at the words coming from this guys mouth. ”Yes. Alone. As in singularly. As in by myself. As in no one else.” And then it was to the circling, which had Chase following the guy with his eyes, and when his eyes couldn’t reach him, his head would turn slightly. He didn’t trust vampires. Let alone ones he didn’t know. He let out a little growl in response to the words being spoken about them being dinner. Not tonight and never would he ever be a meal for some bloodsucker. It also wouldn’t happen in front of him. The last time something like that had happened in front of him, his brother had ended up dead and then being turned into one of the creatures he despised. Now, he was the only one he trusted and liked. When the vampire stopped walking, Chase stopped moving as well, his eyes staying focused on him until the question was popped.

Chase could feel his body tensing again. His lip raised in a snarl. A growl came out low in his throat again. Once again he was guarded and strung tight. His jaw almost wanted to gape at this guys words, he’d never heard those words spoken to him from the same sex, but his stubbornness and pride refused to show any emotion save anger. ”Oh? And what would you know of her type? Or my type even? You don’t know us. We don’t know you. ” He gave a little huff before speaking lower, so he almost couldn’t be hear by anyone else. ”Besides, like you’d get close enough to me again before I’d bite your hand off.” His body stayed slightly in front of Victoria and the vampire as his mind was still on the defensive/offensive set.

Notes: Muahahah

“And ya shouldn’t…ya shouldn’t trust any vampire at all.” The first thing Draven addressed was the shifter’s declaration that he wouldn’t trust ‘a rogue vampire like him’. In fact, as a vampire himself, Draven doesn’t trust any of his own kind and since he’s awoken from his three hundred year long slumber he has kept his distance from them. Times have changed and survival no longer depended upon staying in groups of your own kind so it was no longer necessary to associate himself with them. Even though his two previous companions, the only companions he has had since his turning were vampires as well and he did love them in only a way a vampire could understand, he hated them as well. To this day, the word ‘vampire’ brings up memories of being pinned down and unable to fight back, of distorted and monstrous faces taunting and laughing at him as his flesh was torn into and the agony, fear, helplessness and anger those memories brought along. He was terrified of them, those awful creatures that had screamed at him, tortured him, forced him to drink the blood of someone he previously trusted who turned out to be just like them before snapping his neck and leaving him there with that monster. He never wanted this and had even tried to fight against it, refused to take part in the one thing his body and mind ached for and was so close to being relieved of the kind of suffering that came with refusing to complete the process until he lost all control of himself and it was too late. He took part in the murder of an innocent woman that night and when he realized what he had done he had become hysterical, begging for the woman to wake up and screaming at his companion at the time to help her. He couldn’t believe what he had done nor what he had become and was disgusted with himself. Even though it happened over four hundred years ago, he still remembers it clearly as though it was recent and he still detests the very thing he has become. He will never be truly comfortable with himself and the nature of what he is, not like those born as a vampire and instead the humanity he once had will always haunt him. Or so he believes and so he believes for others that were forced into this life style as well and if he had any advice for those that still had their morality and sanity, it would be to kill themselves before they become like him.

“And yer right.” He turned his attention on the witch now, seemingly ignoring everything else that was said by either of them as one thing stuck out most to him. “Maybe I am havin’ a psychotic break.” He said and for a moment there was a serious look on his face that agreed with his words. “Maybe…bein’ alive so long I’ve finally…ya know…lost my mind.” He smiled in a condescending way and there was something behind those off blue eyes of his that was akin to insanity. It was true, in every sense of the phrase, he had completely lost it by now. It was only sensible that anyone who has been alive over twice the amount of time that was natural for them to be, would eventually go insane because of it. His mentor had taken a final walk into the sun before it had happened to him but maybe Draven wasn’t so lucky. He knew this though, he was very aware of the fact that he wasn’t quite in ‘his right mind’ and was hitting his breaking point but he has yet to have someone else point it out. Even if she might not have been completely serious. He had half a mind to walk away and to proceed the night probably by drinking, going to a club or using his abilities over the mind to trick some piece of ass or another to come home with him. After all, his good mood was beginning to turn sour and he had already let his mask slip, even if just a little. That wasn’t usual for him as he typically had a fairly good control over his emotions and yet, somehow these two had managed not only to get him to change his mind about eating them but put a small crack in the barrier he had build up around himself so long ago. It pissed him off; it pissed him off that this damn witch and shifter got him so off his game so easily. And to think he was going to let them well. Well, they just lost that privilege.

“Or maybe…I’m just playin’ with my food before I eat it.” His smile widened into a sly grin, playing off his momentary slip as a part of this little ‘game’ and changing his mind once again about what he was planning on doing. “I was hopin’ for somethin’ a little more entertainin’ but just like yer conversation I eavesdropped on earlier…I’m gettin’ bored again.” He complained with an exasperated sigh to further prove his point. He made a move as though he was going to say something more but instead of doing so, he used his enhanced speed to bypass the shifter in front and to get to the witch. This time he wasn’t messing around and there was no looking her over or taking his time and instead he caught her by the throat. His grip was tight but not enough to break any bones or cut off all air supply but enough to make it difficult to breath and to keep her from pulling away.

“Make a move lover boy and I won’t hesitate to snap her pretty little neck.” He warned the shifter, all the while keeping his attention on the witch. Even if he did shift, it would only take a small twist of his wrist to kill her and he didn't think the shifter would be that stupid. Now he had them exactly where he wanted them and he wasn’t going to let them get him off guard again. No, he is in control, he is the predator here and he is going to get his dinner like he came all the way out here for. “Little hard to say an incantation now when ya can’t breath hmm?” He taunted her with a triumphant smile.

((I am not very proud of this...eckkk but whatever...I can't work on this post any more lol. Promise he won't bite her..unless you want him too He'll back off Ahah)
