He wasn't done yet. Not by a long shot. She'd /hurt/ him, gotten in his way. She should've known better. He knew everything that could break her, after all. It took some effort. It took some searching. But he found that man. He met him in the back room of a nightclub. It was too noisy out on the floor, but here they could /talk/.

2 years. Two, long, whole years since that night. All this time, he just thought he killed her. No. She had to be alive. She couldn't have just laid down and let death embrace her. No matter. He had the power. Marcellio also had the information. Well. Not yet. He was promised this upon his arrival. He never lets his pray get away, /ever./ And she won't be the first. He arrived at the club, letting a few of his 'friends' lose to surveillance and feed. Once he knew he was well hidden, Marcellio slipped into the backroom, and saw a man there. About his height. "I hope you did not call me all this way for nothing." He shut the door behind him.

"'Course not, snakey. That'd waste your time /and/ mine."

Snakey? Whatever. "Lets hope not, because you won't be leaving here alive if you did."

"I think I would, but that doesn't matter now. I know where she lives. Who she's with. What she is now."

"....Continue." The man had his full attention.

"Still in New York, lives with a vampire named Lance. He turned her after you attacked." This man probably didn't know about angels, so no point in bringing that up. "There are others around her who would die defending her, so you'll have to wait until she's alone, or with one of the weaker ones. Only a few have the strength to fight you, so this shouldn't be a problem."

"I have the numbers. You just need to tell me where she is."

2016-01-23 11:29:56

He wasn't enjoying this. He just wanted her to suffer. "I have the address right here." He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and held it out.

He reached out his hand, then hesitated. "There's a catch."

2016-01-23 11:31:45

He dropped it into his palm. "None at all."

●

"I don't believe you."

2016-01-23 11:33:08

🌀

"Nobody really does. But that's okay. You don't have to. Just make sure she sees your face, and knows who sent you."

2016-01-23 11:34:48

●

"I'll be certain of that." He placed the paper in his pocket and paused. "...You know...You could always tell her yourself. There is /always/ room for one more in our ranks."

2016-01-23 11:36:29

🌀

"Nah. Not my thing. I'd miss the sun too much. Thanks for the offer, but no thanks."

2016-01-23 11:37:08

●

"Suit yourself." He placed his hand on the door. "You've caught me on a good day."

2016-01-23 11:38:38

🌀

"Even if I didn't, you wouldn't be getting that. Have a nice night. Don't turn to ash too soon."

He exited the club. Leaving his 'lackeys' behind.

Ivory remembered the first time Lance took her to Coney Island. It was her first Summer here, and Jackson bought her so much carnival food that she had a stomach ache for days. Due to her inability to sleep now, Lance decided to bring her here in order to take her mind off things. She didn't really want to ride the roller coasters, just walk around ad enjoy the scenery. Which Lance didn't mind. All he wanted was for her to be happy.

The night lights were stunning to her. The lack of people was great, but it was still a bit crowded, mostly do to it being Summer time. Teenagers were playing games with their friends. Winning prizes for their lovers. Small children were complaining to their parents about being tired. However, in the back of Ivory's mind, she sensed another vampire. This was normal. This was New York City of all places. Not everyone you meet would be human here. It was fact. Lance learned to ignore most of those instinct sensing, and so did she. Even if they crossed paths with said vampire, she was sure they could be civil.

Her converse's thudded against the boardwalk. This was probably one of the few times she decided to not wear heels. Who wore heels to an amusement park anyway? The wind blew through her hair, blowing it into her face. The smell of funnel cake filled the air. The two of them passed by a game booth. The sense of the vampire got stronger. Ivory couldn't help but glance to see who it was.

And almost froze.

In her peripheral, she saw Marcellio. Clear as day. Dressed in the same attire when she first saw him. He looked over as well, and locked eyes with her. A smile spread across his face. He turned towards her.

Ivory grabbed Lance's hand. She didn't remember much after this point. Lots of shaking. Lots of crying. A scream that wouldn't come out. Mostly because she couldn't bring herself to make /any/ noise at all. Did she faint? She wasn't sure. Though it would make sense when everything went black out around her.

Lance rushed her home to a panicking Ren and a desperately worried Seculus. Seculus didn't even have to ask. She wasn't safe. This man would hurt her. He took her to her room and sat there for hours, just holding her and stroking her hair as she 'slept'. When Ren calmed down enough, they came and hugged her too, sniffling with fear.

Ivory jolted awake, still trembling. She felt arms around her, and started to struggle for a moment. "What? Where am I what-" Ivory realized where she was, and immediately started crying.

".......it's alright, darling, he can't hurt you here........we won't let him.....it's okay.......shh.........." He kissed her head without thinking, then wondered if he shouldn't have. ....she needed it, it was small, she'd be fine.

2016-01-23 21:55:37

●

She clung to him, a crying mess. Still trying to make sense of what happened. "I'm sorry.../I'm sorry./"

2016-01-23 22:00:03

🌀

"No, you did nothing, you couldn't have.....it's not your fault that you had to see him, but you won't again, you're safe, it's okay...."

2016-01-23 22:01:42

"He'll find me. He said he'd find me. He did find me."
