Moving out of his hotel room and into an actual house had proven to cause all sort of problems for Aaron. Problems he had never encountered before really. His Sire had a nice estate with everything taken care of. But here he was, still in this relatively new city in his new house. A new neighborhood. East Sacramento.

With neighbors.

Over the past weeks, every now and then, he had noticed the same woman ringing the doorbell. She must have noticed them moving in.

*Ding-Dong*

Here she is. Again. This time the Lord would deal with her.

She rings the bell and Aaron forces a portion of his blood to flow through his veins. He'd have to look alive for this to work. With more effort than the Blush, he then forces himself to smile as he opened the door.

'Hello there.'

The woman must be in her early fifties; Wearing a simple shirt and clearly freshly put on summer jacket, maybe to hide the sweat these warm evenings; In capri pants, just a little bit too tight; purple Birkenstock's on her feet, way beyond their heyday. 'Hiya! How are you?' There is an enthusiasm in her voice that makes it seem like this is not her fifth attempt to meet Aaron and Lina. 'Welcome to the neighborhood!'

'Oh why, thank you! How are you.' His voice is flat, but he knows how to look at someone pleasantly, 'Would you like to see what we did with the place? Come on inside!'

The woman is baffled by his sudden hospitality and steps inside. What a charming man, she must have thought. Boy was she wrong.

Aaron does not waste a second. He closes the door behind her and uses their momentary vicinity to strike. His fangs sink deep into her neck, mere seconds after she entered the house. She moans in surprise and pleasure.

It is such an intimate thing. A thing she is not worthy of. Luckily, it only lasts a few seconds, as they stand awkwardly in the hallway.

What would Lina even think if she'd come home now?

Aaron would make sure this problem would be solved right away. The helpless neighbor is still subjected to the ecstasy of his Kiss, but then quickly snapped out of it by a gentle slap from the back of his hand. Immediately she meets his overwhelming gaze.

'How boring it was to meet you new neighbors. Earlier tonight you were invited inside, only to see the house hardly seemed finished. No "Welcome" doormat like you have yourself. White walls, little to no furniture. Odd folks live here. They always work during the night, they said, what a life?! Todd is a night doctor of some sort, always busy. Sarah, even though you had not seen her, you learned she...' he grins while invading the woman's mind, 'has to make her living has a stripper. While being served some flavorless tea. you talked about..'

Fade to... an incredibly detailed memory alteration.
