House of the Night.

I don't know... FIrst time, remember?"

"Ah that's right. Well then lets pick the upper east side of town. Ritsy neighborhood up that way with the social elite. Most of them have a few skeletons in there closets. That and they tend to have brains the size of a peanut. Just start the lil lost boy act and they'll gush all over ya and give you ample opportunity to feed." Rihat said as they flew. He knew this game well. He should he'd played it for centuries.

Zyino nods and lands, folding his wings inside his body. He gets on the ground, using a knife to make it look like he is badly hurt. "How is this?"

"That works but it's not necessary. At your physical age all you'd need to do is wonder around some secluded area crying and such. Hug your would be rescuer or as the case my sometimes be assalent and then when they least suspect it bite. I've used the tactic before it and works pretty well." Rihat explained remembering several times he'd use that method.

"Um, what if it turns out to be another vampire?"

"Trust me no vampire would ever fall for that ploy. Besides there's a only a grand total of ten of us in this big city. Odds of you running into one while hunting are slim. And also that's why you read the subject's mind before hand as they approach that way you can be sure." Rihat reassued Zy.

Zyino stood there for a while till he located a mind of a pedofile. He goes near the sitewalk and cries until the man came out.

Alucard had already started hunting and was walking around in his adult form looking for someone eather bad or drunk he didnt realy mind which

Rihat stayed back he was sickened by the man's mind as he approached Zy. He waited to see how bloody this would get. If it was himself in Zy's position he would have sent the bastard out with the most horrific images he could conjure up.

*meanwhile on the other side of town, there was a shady figure in a park, a drug dealer, who has ruined so many lived, waiting alone for a coustumer, he heard a rustle, turning around, paranoid of cops. he sees nothing. slowley we see his shadow rise up behind him, his shadow suddenly animated. the dear turns just in time to open his mouth to scream, but instead the shadow forced itself in his mouth like a inky black fluid, exploding from his eyes, ears, and nose and destroying his brain and skull. as the dead body falls to thee floor the shadow reforms into Venny as he steps on a vial of meth that fel from the dealers pocket, still slurping the blood from his bottom lip*

"...rest in peace, scum bag."

*he leaps off, ready for his next victim*

Zyino grins and bites into the man, drinking his blood. "You have a sick mind you pedofile..."

Rihat smiled walked out of the shadows. "Now Zy. Lay off him before he dies. Dieing by blood loss is too good a death for him. Allow me to let him pass on in a more fitting manner." Rihat said placing a hand on the back of the man's head.

He picks up his scythe. "Alright. Go on ahead."

Rihat leaned in close. "This is gonna hurt. A lot." He said and then concentrated. The man screamed for five seconds and then fell over dead. "It's an ability that stems for mind reading. I hyper stimulated all of the neurons in his brain and fried it. Very painful death." Rihat explained.

Zyino licks his lips. "Fresh blood is best!" He makes it look like a suicide and takes the finger and make it write 'I'm a pedofile' in blood. "There."

"Oh a Poet are we? Sending a signal to the masses of him. I like it. We did the city a favor by eliminating him." Rihat smiled. "Now lets move on. I'd like to find my meal for the night as well."

Alucard was talking with a human who had killed a child and its mother and had gotten off scott free Alucard convinced the man to join him outside for a cigarret and then bit his neck drinking him untill he was near death and breaking a few bones then leaveing him in a trashcan as the owner of the bar took the trash to the incinerater

He grabs his scythe. "I'm gonna find Alucard."

"Alright. Knowing him he's found his meal by know and has dispatched him in creative way." Rihat said sinking back into the shadow as he herd a girl on a cell phone approaching. A quick glance at her mind told she was one of the popular girls who loved to ruin people. 'Well that's gonna end tonight.' Rihat thought with a grin.

*Venny suddenly appeard in front Rihat*
"No...wait....not her."

*his eyes change color from white to blue*
"She grows up to be a good woman....who ends up finding the cure to Juvenile diabetes...."

*his eyes turn back to white and he turns back to Rihat*

Rihat looked at him. "How in the blazes do you know that?" He asked Venny fairly confused.

*he smiled*
"The future to her....the future of her mind...her body, her soul, all of it exsists already in her head...but its surounded by shadows which clear with time....I live in shadows, so they cant conceal from me. Interesting fact, those same shadows that hide her future, which hide all of our futures, dont really dissappear as we grow, they just move, they move into our past. Thats why we forget things."

"Ah I never knew that. But I guess it doesn't quite work that way with immortals. I remember things quite well. I can quote my Dark Father's first words to me even to this day. 'Do not fear child. For thine enemy is slain. Do not fear for the end of this life child. For I shall give you one eternal. You need only choose it.' Those were his words to me some 2500 years ago. I guess for us the Shadows move endlessly forward but never back." Rihat said as he leaned against the wall waiting for another suitable prey to come by.

*he nods* "Thats right my friend, thats right...and you're lucky you have those shadows...I dont. I can see into thee life of any creature...and since you and I are eternal, to me, we are like books which never end."

"True but in a way so are the mortals in a way. They may die but there souls last forever. We however walk through time and the physical world until it ends." Rihat said as he sensed another mortal approaching. "This one important?" He asked Max.
