"Una notte bella effettivamente, il mio Dolce ." <A lovely night indeed, my Sweet>
Nicolo's black eyes flashed with a predator's lust, ignited by the display he was witnessing. It had vastly improved his mood from earlier in the evening, and the site of Aurelie there cheered him even more.

"Did you see this marvelous sight? These creatures, waiting for their chance to desecrate this pathetic Kine. All Kindred should take a lesson in the true ways of our kind; it's a crime against God and the Dark Prophet when we bury our true natures in shame. We should be celebrating it and revering it – yes, even rejoicing in our feeding and our kills. Those that are enslaved to their thirst will never be the true Master of it. And never blessed in God's eyes."

He looked at Aurelie and took her hand, kissing it tenderly. "Do you understand, Dolce? That you and I are Damned? That you must be strong and delight in your nature? It is why Longinus committed his sins, and was chosen by God to lead us."

Where had this man come from? A few hours ago, they were having a drink in a bar. Now she thought she might be falling...

Antoinette stopped herself from even thinking it. Instead she leaned in and kissed Neil. It started out sweet and tender but grew in it's demanding and intensity.

She only stopped herself to say "Of course it's too close to sunrise for you to ever make it home safely. You're going to stay, right?"

Nicolo hadn't decided if he really wanted to go tonight as he wasn't much in the mood for parties. But he'd driven around aimlessly for hours already, and he had put on his favorite Salvatore Ferragamo slacks, top and trench. Might as well be seen in them.



He sent the Scuderia toward the Museum and parked it, as usual, as far away from the heathens as possible. You just couldn't trust anyone not to ding their doors into someone elses' beloved car. People were so fucking careless. He climbed out, and looked around, but could find no bloody Kine to dominate into being his watchdog. So his bambino was left unattended. It made him edgy and irritable. If the infidels showed up to this partito and blew up cars again, someone was going to die. Seriamente.

He walked through the maze of mirrors and tubes and moving floors, and it irritated the hell out of him. A child's game? What was this woman thinking.

Nicolo came out through the entrance though, vaguely looking around with the intent of making some pleasantries, then splitting as fast as he could, when he was overcome by the vision before him. The Kine corpse, floating in the cage, mutilated and cut to ribbons, grotesque and morbid as he was beautiful and seductive to the predator inside Nicolo. And his fellow hunters, swimming and stalking their meal, just as he did, night after night, waiting for the moment of opportunity when they could have their prey.

It stopped him short. He became mesmorized by the sheer beauty and eloquence of the moment. The moment before the feed. He crossed himself and said the words he always did before this moment,

    Oh God,
    Who so righteously Damned me,
    Bless this Holy Blood
    Which I claim to fulfill
    My Anointed Purpose.
    Amen.


Nicolo crossed himself again and waited there. Waited for them to take the blood that was rightfully theirs. He wasn't sure how long it would take, but he didn't want to miss it.

Woah. The similarities were uncanny. "Neil, that is really weird. My parents died in a plane crash a couple years ago. I inherited a lot of money, and I sort of went through a pretty rough time. My Dad had really twisted my arm to attend business school so I could help him with his business, but I totally hated it. When they died, I dropped out and did nothing but partied. It was really bad. Then, I guess when I stopped feeling bad for myself, I decided to start Lash. It gave me something to focus on, besides myself, which pretty much saved my life. That sounds pretty corny huh? But it's true."

"Then, I don't know... I met Quinton in a club. I still went to clubs a lot at that point. He wasn't really the "party" type, but I think he watched me. We had sort of a strange relationship, it's hard to understand, and kind of hard to talk about. But I really needed someone, and he was there for me. He always made me feel so safe and cared about. Unfortunately for me, I just didn't realize it was more because he wanted to recruit me, and less because he really loved and cared about me." At least, this is what she could surmise. Antoinette dropped her eyes down. This sucked. No more of this.

"But hey, no turning back now, right? It's not a bad life, really. Young and pretty forever. Right." The words seemed a little hollow to her, but she hoped she sounded enthusiastic to him.

"Well, this is it." Antoinette put the key in the door and did a quick maneuver to scoop up the snarling, snapping Zero, who she suspected had been stalking Neil their entire approach up the corridor. THAT was going to be a big problem.

"Relax, Big Boy, he's a friend." But no logical words would comfort the dog, and he argued and talked back to her:

*Can't you see you're letting a predator into your home? Let me down, NOW, and I will take care of the situation for you immediately!! *

She smiled apologetically at Neil and shushed the dog, telling him over and over again it was OK, Neil was her friend. Finally, though she hated to do it, Antoinette had to lock the dog in the office. She could hear him furiously scratching to get out, and hoped he didn't hurt himself, but what else could she do?

"Sorry about that." She smiled and took Neils hand, leading him to the couch. "You sit right here and relax, I'm going to go find some different clothes and be right back." On impulse she gave him a little kiss on the cheek, then took off for her bedroom and dove into her closet, throwing things everywhere. No, not this. No, not that. No, no way. No, no, no! How hard was it to pick something to wear? Christ. Well, it was critical... She didn't want to send the wrong message. But what was the "wrong" message? And, what was the "right" message. Antoinette Marie Coeur de Lion, get a hold of yourself before you have a complete melt down here.

In an absolute panic, she chose a pair of pair of tight, black sweats that road her hips so low, there was very little room left for the imagination. And a tight, black, cropped hoodie with a grey crucifix embroidered on it. Nothing else.

Then she made her way out to the living room. "I'm back." She gave him a warm smile and handed Neil the coat he had lent her. "Thank you very much for the coat. You really are a gentleman."

She curled up on the couch next to him, not knowing what to say or do, now that he was here. She was so nervous. What had happened to the bold little kick-ass Antoinette she used to be? Tilden was right, she had changed. The thing was, she knew the problem, she just couldn't fix it.

"So, what have you been doing with yourself while I've been gone? In fact, what have you been doing with yourself your whole life? How did you get to be, well, you know...?"

your two are such BRATS! It's not that we didn't know we couldn't win, it's that we didn't CARE. We're going on a fabulous trip to Italy to get an even MORE fun car now.

Every adventure, no matter what the outcome, has a silver lining.

So there! Have fun with the pink CCX. The new paint job will set K back at least 20K... :-P

I'll take it off her CS tonight :)

So, Martin... thinking of getting a car and making a go of it??

Don't get sharked!! And look out for a girl driving a Vermilion Koenigsegg.

Of course, you might have a little more control of the traffic lights... call me crazy...

As Neil offers her his jacket, she bites her lip and looks up at him in wonder. She's missed this feeling desperately. Somebody caring about her, and not like a Sire. Maybe even wanting her. The feelings she had for Quinton come rushing to the surface; there was a time when she thought he loved her like "that" too. A time when she thought he'd marry her and love her forever...

She shoved those feeling down and stuffed them as far back as she could, stomping them mercilessly as hard as she could. It hurt too much to think about.

Antoinette took the jacket gratefully. "Thank you so much. I didn't exactly dress for walking down the street. Well, I guess I kind of did, if I had a different profession." She laughed at her own joke. "So, the Ferrari, huh? I think that's a good idea. I'd like to go to Italy with you. I'd like that a lot." Smiling, she slipped her small hand into his, thankful that he didn't pull away, and kept herself very close to him. "If I can get permission to go, when would be a good time for you?"

It really was a nice night. Cold, but who cared. They were always cold...

It was quite late, and mostly quiet except for the random car that would pass by now and then, hitting them with with their bright lights. Antoinette figured she must be quite the sight walking along the side of the road like this, in see-through pants, and a tank top. Olivette still had her coat that went with the outfit. She brought her body a bit closer to Neil, hoping he wouldn't mind. And suddenly she felt like she should say something. Anything.

"So, I was thinking either a Zonda R, or a Ferrari. The Zonda R is probably a better car for me to drive; lighter and easier to handle, but you know, Ferrari's are so classic. I really have to have one eventually. Maybe the FXX. Though they are impossible to get. You really have to have owned one before in order to be on the "list" to get a new one. But maybe I could go over to Italy and talk to somebody over there. My Dad had lots of car connections in Maranello. Though I don't know if Baron Quinton will let me go over there – he's been kind of weird about letting me travel out of the country. Do you think maybe you'd want to go with me? We could go together. Maybe that would make him feel more comfortable about me going. Of course, there is that Nicolo guy here now, he's from Italy and has a 430, he might actually be useful in trying to secure one. But then I could just get the Zonda, that would probably be easier..."

She was so nervous. She couldn't shut herself up. Here she was walking out in the middle of nowhere with a man, a Kindred, she hardly even knew, and she was going to ask him to stay the night with her...

That looks more like "Barbie World" pink/purple than the dark, royal purple that Quinton described to Antoinette... LOL

Not mine anymore anyway... Kaeda can bitch about it now!!! ha!

I'm still convinced Quinton only did that so I wouldn't be able to drive it around safely (due to the paparazii) and would be FORCED to ride with his driver... I wasn't born yesterday... ;-P

Nicolo liked the way Bella smiled. It was sweet and warm, but there always seemed to be a hint of mischief to it.

"Well?" He looked around at all the warehouses. It was going to be a daunting task. "I don't have such gifts as you, so unfortunately I can only suggest we start here and go in. Try each one. Process of elimination. But please, we need to be careful. I'm sure if there is something worth hiding, they're doing a good job protecting it... There's a door over there I think. We can try to force it in."

Antoinette laughed "Thank you sir, you are indeed too kind." She softened her eyes and looked into Neil's. Losing never felt this good. What a night. She was still giddy.

"So, what should I get for my next car?" They had many miles to dream about that.

Antoinette shrugged, though it was very sweet of Neil to compliment her, and she gave him a glance sideways and a smile. "How could you have missed it, there were flyers everywhere." She inhaled the air, trying to smell their blood. She thought the girl was Kine, but she didn't think the biker was. It was hard to tell at the distance they were at. She looked deep into his eyes, trying to figure him out.

"Thanks for the offer of the car, but I'd rather not. You won, fair and square. You keep both. Enjoy. Remember to cool her out when you run hot, K?" She turned to Neil, "You know, don't call anybody. My place can't be, what 10 or so miles back. Let's just walk. It's a really nice night."

Antoinette is still giggling. She unbelts and reaches over the stick shift to give Neil a hug and a kiss. "You did an awesome job. You'd never even driven her before! You didn't lose it into any light poles or anything. No cops came. We had a great time – at least I did." She gives him a sly look.

She grabs the registration out of the glove compartment and pulls herself out of the car, waiting for Neil to come around. "Here you go you guys. I don't travel with the pink slip in the car, but here is the registration - it has my address on it. If you give me your address I'll send you the full thing. It's yours."
