Stop Following Me (Summer)

[Pippa Margret Lindley]

Pippa was tired of being in the house. Her daughters were in some boarding school, so Pippa was actually able to go on a trip. However, she had no idea why she chose to go to China...after all, what was over here that was really for her? But, she wanted to go somewhere, so she figured China would be something new.

Pippa was walking around the city, when she felt someone following her. She knew better than to turn around, because she sensed that the thing following her wasn't human. She just didn't know what he, or she, was. So, instead of worrying about it, Pippa just followed her instincts and went on her way of doing whatever she wanted.

After a few hours, the feeling wouldn't go away, so Pippa knew she had to do something. She turned into an alley, and waited for whatever was following her to show itself. [maroon]"I know you're there, can you please come out. I won't be forced to kill you if you do..."[/maroon]

Damon came to China on purely vacation. Then again, he hasn't been to this place in what seemed like forever. The traditions had changed slightly, as well as the clothes. But just like last time he was here, he still stuck out more so than others. He wore his black jacket and jeans and stayed to the shadows. His eyes were red after all and it wouldn't be good for someone to point that out on the streets. It was one of the things he cursed about being a vampire. After a couple hours of a stroll, a scent caught his nose.

He turned towards it, eager to see what exactly it was. It smelt different than a human after all. His eyes narrowed in on a girl probably a couple years younger than what he appeared as, and way shorter than himself. He stayed quite aways away from her, wanting to watch her and see why her scent was so different. He stayed to the shadows, stalking her like a tiger did its prey.

After a couple hours of this, when he was just about to give up, she walked into an alleyway. He of course followed along, but stayed back a tiny bit until she spoke. A smirky grin came to his face as he chuckled. "You kill me? Oh no little girl. That would be quite impossible." He revealed himself finally and stepped out from his leaning stance against the wall. He had his hands in his pockets as he raised and eyebrow and looked at her. "You know, there's something about you that's different than all these humans."

His eyes narrowed as he stepped closer to her. The red in his eyes shining bright. "What are you?" He wasn't one to beat around the bush and he definitely wasn't going to start now.

[Pippa Margret Lindley]

Pippa wasn't shure what this boy wanted, but she was shure she wasn't going to give him the satification of knowing it was a bit creepy for him to stalk her. [maroon]"Woah, cocky...aren't we?""[/maroon] she siad, as she too leaned against the wall of the alley. [maroon]"How do you know I can't kill you? As you can tell. I'm not human. And, you my dear, can be killed...one way or another."[/maroon] she said, smirking as she did.

Normally Pippa wasn't the type to be snippy, but there was something about him that made her want to lash out at anyone who was around to listen.

When he asked what she was, Pippa smirked [maroon]"Let's play a game of 20 questions. If you can figure what I am...."[/maroon] what was she supposed to get him for a prize. [maroon]"I'll let you figure out what you want. But I have to agree to it.."[/maroon]

[Damon Alexander King]

Damon raised an eyebrow as she started speaking. Cocky? Oh yes he was, very much so. He smirked as she ended her comments and leaned against the wall. "Yes. Everyone can be killed. It's just a matter of how much time you want to put into it babe." Sure he could be staked and caught on fire, but as far as he could tell this girl wasn't of The Order. So really he wasn't in any danger. At least he thought so.

He didn't expect her to outright tell him what she was. But he hasn't expected a game of 20 questions. When she stated her terms he raised an eyebrow. What did she think he wanted. All he really wanted to know what she was. But she was a fairly attractive girl. Maybe he could squeeze a date or something more out of this deal. That could be decided later though. He nodded. "And if I don't get it?"

But he decided to start it anyways. "So I can smell that you aren't human, but you also aren't a vampire or werewolf. The latter stinks and I know my own kind. Can you do magic?"

[Pippa Margret Lindley]

Pippa looked at him, trying not to squirm when he kept smirking and looking at her. At least he wasn't looking at her in a way that he basically wanted to eat her. Pippa almost shivered at the thought, but wouldn't allow this...vampire? to see it.

[maroon]"It appears I found out what you are. If you loose, you go away and leave me alone...simple right?"[/maroon] she asked, trying to appear as confidence as he looked.

She smiled when he commented about the werewolf [maroon]"Well it must be to you, I don't smell anything like that when I am around them..."[/maroon] she told him.

When he asked if she could do magic. She shook her head. And, it wasn't really magic that she did. Her powers were of her father's deamon blood, and her mothers elemental powers from being a priestess...or so Pippa told herself.

[Damon Alexander King]

Damon thought about her conditions for a minute. They seemed reasonable enough so he nodded. Then she commented on the werewolves. He gave a small smirk. She just let him know a little more about herself than she probably realized. That question made it obvious that she wasn't something with a heightened sense of smell.

But still, that left quite a few options open. Then she narrowed it down a little more. No magic. Well that left out elementalist and supernatural human. He considered those a type of magic. He paced for a few seconds trying to figure out another question. "Well then. I take it you do have powers? I mean you have to or else we wouldn't be having this little game."

[/b]

He stopped pacing as he turned to her. "Do you powers have to do with evil and death?" Then he took another second for another question. "I think we should get names out of the way. My name is Damon."

In a second he was by her side and holding out his hand to her with a sadistic looking grin. [/blockquote]

[Pippa Margret Lindley]

Pippa wasn't shure what it is about this boy, but he made her want to have a bit of fun. [maroon]"Um...evil? Depends. Everyone has powers to use on evil, but it's all about choice. And I don't consider myself evil...so on that question, I would have to say no..."[/maroon] she said, smiling at him.

When he told her his name, she looked at him [maroon]"Damon?"[/maroon] she asked. His name was an odd one, but then again, so was hers. [maroon]"Pippa..."[/maroon] she told him. He didn't give her a last name, so she wasn't going to give him one. It wouldn't be right, besides, who knew what he was capable of when he learned her full name.

[maroon]"What about you? I mean, of course, you are a vampire, we covered that, but do you have any special powers?"[/maroon]

[Damon Alexander King]

Damon couldn't help the smirk that set to his face as she answered him. Darn. She had outwitted him there. At least just slightly. So she wasn't bad. Whatever she was. Unlike him. Using his powers for his own advantage. Only caring for himself. "Hmmmm...so you aren't one for evil. You don't seem like an angel though. They are filled with light and happiness and joy, plus the ones I have met are a bit more bubbly."

His head tilted to the side pondering what she could be. "Are you a full blood or pure whatever you are? Or only half?" Maybe that could give him a little more insight into what exactly she was. Pippa. It was unique. Different. He hadn't met anyone with that name. She didn't relay her last name either and he chucked. Smart girl. Sure he didn't do anything with names, but he knew people who did.

She asked of his powers and he couldn't help but let the smirk fall into his features once against as he looked at her cooly. "Apart from the regular immortality, never sleeping, etcetera. Yes. I do have a power. Just one. Care to guess what it may be?" It wasn't a completely known gift. At least he didn't think it was. But it could make this night a little more interesting if she did know.

Someone started coming into the alley and he turned slightly, his eyes narrowing as a hiss escaped his lips. Whoever it was decided against taking the short cut and turned around, basically running out of he alley. He smirked again turning back to his Pippa. At least for now.

[Pippa Margret Lindley]

Pippa laughed in spite of herself. She was trying to keep her cool on the matter of this man before her, but when he said she wasn't evil, and yet she wasn't an angel, she just had to laugh [maroon]"No, I'm no angel. They are too kind, too sweet to care about themselves. My mother was like that. She cared about everyone else before herself. My father didn't deserve her. He is evil..."[/maroon] she said, her normal brown eyes flashing red just before she shook her head and they turned back to their normal brown.

Pippa smirked when he asked if she was pure, or half. [maroon]"I'm half. If I was pure I would be too much like my father, and I don't think anyone would want that..."[/maroon]

[maroon]"Just one? Well is it mind games? Or is it of the elements? Perhaps you bring luck to those around you?"[/maroon] she said, tilting her head to the side, allowing her brown hair to flow to one side.

[Damon Alexander King]

The words that escaped her lips next made Damon smirk. She let just a bit too much out with that answer. Plus, the flashing of her eyes to a different color. He gave a short bark of a laugh before speaking. "Quite interesting. A half deamon. Am I correct? But only just. Since the other half must be."

[/b] He paused only a moment. A short calculating moment. "Human. Half deamon and half human." He gave a small smirk as he watched her reaction.

He nodded to her first question and tilted his head slightly too te second. He couldn't help but smile at the last two suggestions. "Oh no. Nothing to do with the elements or luck. Well at least it could benefit my luck. It revolves around the mind. For instance." He paused a moment before using his speed to get within a couple inches of her. He was pushing her boundaries. Seeing her reaction to him as he raised a hand and acted like he was going to move a strand of her hair before withdrawing it back down to his side. He spoke softly and wistfully. "I could make you do anything. Anything I so desired. Like forget we ever met. Or other possibilities. As long as you couldn't fight it that it. Some people have been known to be able to fight it off." He raised an eyebrow wondering if perhaps he gave away too much. [/blockquote]

[Pippa Margret Lindley]

Pippa smiled, devilishly at him [maroon]"Oh, you guessed it. However, I'm not purely half human. I'm something....more innocent than that. Which is why I'm confused on how my father met my mother..."[/maroon] she said, trailing off as she did.

It wasn't long ago that Pippa lived with her sister and her parents. Of course, that was then when her mother was alive and her father wasn't trying to kill them. But, because Pippa was what she was, her father was hunting her, her three children, and her sister.

Coming back to the present, Pippa smirked when he told her a few things [maroon]"Make me forget? Don't I wish I was able to forget a lot of things. But, at the same time, I don't want to forget, because that is what makes me me. So then, I'm guessing......compulsion? Seems fitting enough. However, why would you want to make me do anything?"[/maroon] she asked, tilting her head to the side.

[Damon Alexander King]

Damon smirked as Pippa spoke. Not completely innocent? He chuckled. "So perhaps you are also part angel. And love knows no boundaries, love. And there was probably something your mom saw in him. No matter what demonic powers he may have possessed."

[/B]

Damon's thoughts were brought back to his own family. His mother and father who lived all those years ago. Dead long ago. But he had his brother right? The brother he hardly saw since they were still on bad terms from the last time they spoke. Falling in love with the same girl can do that though.

He shook his head to clear his thoughts. Right now he needed to be focused on the girl in front of him. Not some girl whom he hadn't seen in what seemed like forever. He nodded. "Compulsion is my game. It's what helps me survive. And as for you making you do anything, if you ticked me off I could get you away before I lashed out. Or I could even erase a small thing I said if I mess up."[/b] He shrugged though and smiled.[/blockquote]

[Pippa Margret Lindley]

Pippa looked at him, knowing there was something he was hiding. But, she knew when a guy didn't want to talk, so she let the subject drop.

Just then, she felt something, and she knew it wasn't anything good. With a smile that didn't meet her eyes, she looked over her shoulder, at the man she knew was coming.

[maroon]"Well, do you think you want to use your lovely power on him? Because he....doesn't like me much..."[/maroon] she said, before turning fully around, so her back was to Damon. It wasn't unusual for Pippa's oldest brother, Jesse, to be the first to arrive. But it was odd that he was alone. Of course, where he went, Father was shure to follow.

[maroon]"I hate to dash when our date was getting so good, but if I don't go, you will be dragged into this fight..."[/maroon] mainly because her father would think he was supposed to be her mate. But, Pippa knew that falling in love was something for children. She had kids of her own, but their father was destroyed because of her...because of her father.

[Damon Alexander King]

Damon's smirky smile slipped slightly at the tone Pippa made as she looked over her shoulder and turned around. He inhaled sharply and his fangs extended. His features becoming more dangerous as he looked at the guy. He didn't like the way he was looking at Pippa. But, they had some similarities and Damon guessed that this was her brother.

He stepped around and in front of Pippa. "Actually it will
Be my pleasure. After all, when he's gone we can get back to our date." His tone held a light teasing towards the end as he looked over his shoulder at her a moment before advancing on the other male in the alley. He towered a couple inches over him so he could look intimidating with the fangs he grew.

He looked the guy directly in the eyes and his voice became a bit harsher. Bit a controlling tone was added to it. His pupils dilated and undialated as he spoke and if it worked right, the other males would as well. "Leave. You never saw us here. Go back and tell whoever that it was a dead end. Look somewhere else. So leave." He stood his ground waiting to see if it would work.

[Pippa Margret Lindley]

Pippa watched as Jesse was confronted by Damon. She knew Jesse would assume they were together, and if her father got that info, then it wouldn't be good for either of them. [maroon]"Damon...its' no use...there isn't any point. Jesse would proally just hurt you."[/maroon] she said but Damon was already there, fangs barred, and glaring at Jesse.

She saw Jesse tense, and heard him speak before Damon said his words [green]"So Pippa...you seem to have a new boy. Does he know what a curse you are? Does he know you will die, along with your children, your sister and if he is with you, then him as well...does he know---"[/green] but he was cut off by Damon's words and Jesse forgot how to speak. His pupils dilated and undialated as Jesse listened to him.

Pippa watched as his brother didn't say another word, and turned and walked away. Blinking, Pippa stood there struck, before collecting herself and coming back to the coolness she had [maroon]"So, what do I owe my knight in shining armor...?"[/maroon]
