Another Night (Open)

[Deleted]

Isadora watched Isabella starting to wake up as she smiled slightly. Moving her hair away from her face as she touched the sleeping womans face."Her gift is her curse, it lets her know when any of my kind are near. IT walls her up in haze of red and over powers her if she is not careful, though she has learned how to work it when she was with the unit in Florida. They used her as a blood hound to sniff my kind out at crime scenes I only pray to the holy father that they do not find her gift out here. They may try to use it like the others did

Isadora watched her wake up with a soft smile on her face, slwly she watched what was unfolding. Frowning as she watched the girls eyes hit Tempus and skip her, a soft hiss left her lips as she shook in anger.

[Tempus]

Tempus quickly divided by zero coming to the facts of the matter. It was time for Izzy to be free of this place. Vampires were a hazard to her not because of the many tools at their arsenal but simply by existing. This of course wouldn't have been a problem for his brother he would have just begun a campaign to eradicate the entire species. Tempus was a hair more understanding. He wouldn't naturally leap to the most extreme. In addition there was the fact that Isadora had conveyed such love for Izzy that he was sure if given time she would feel similarly to her grandmother several generations removed.

"You are with... friends?" stated as her eyes lit on him. Leaning into her touch he was taking as much solace as covering her from Isadora's display. He didn't take his attention off of Izzy; Even as his aegis leapt to life about him. Its invisible strength assuring that no harm would befall her. Muscles tense expecting Isadora to finally attempt to do away what he was sure an obstacle to her lineage. As he waited for the blow to fall Raziel hanging invisibly between places he used his hand to smooth away the tears staining her cheek. He was Arcadian such a show of emotion he would never tell her to end. though he was unsure of its source he was proud to be considered close enough for her to display them. He knew that the same was not true amongst mortals but he would take what he could.

Sparing some attention his eyes never leaving Izzy's he stated, "I would never allow Izzy to be misused. She has but to call my name and as ever I will be there for her..." He said nothing of the hell it had been watching her from afar. Scrying upon her but she was very much important to him. He wouldn't go into details as to how important she was to him as it might gain Isadora an unhealthy leverage care though she might she was still a vampire. He had dealt enough with several of their ilk that their ways while not completely uncloaked to him were decently known.

" The question now is will you allow me to take her out of here without ruining this quiet moment." He said his voice suddenly losing the warmth of mere seconds ago. He could feel the heat of her angry without turning. As he was blocking Izzy's view he knew she might find his sudden coolness off putting. That he would accept harm befalling Izzy even as a mere bystander to what might come was not at all within the bounds of what he would allow. She needed to be free of such a place teeming with Vampires. He hoped that through her anger that Isadora could see that, would understand that. If not he was not above using other methods of achieving that selfsame goal.

Izzy sighed as she felt him under her fingers, a soft warm smile touched her lips. The strength she felt under his clothing in that touch made her face turn flush as she thought of things she wanted to do with him but never had the nerve to tell him or act on. She felt that she was grabbing at straws as she looked at him, her eyes never leaving his face as her hand started to move to his cheek but again she stopped short not sure he would let her touch him.

She then saw the vampire and shook slightly, her breath shakey as she tried to sink into the couch away from this woman she heard what was said between this woman and Tempus. Izzy didnt want to believe it was real as she shook her head. "Your m..my Grandmootthher not my aunt like you told me? You bought me those things to heelp? You care for me even though your one of them?" She asked quickly in a hushed voice, her hand grabbed Tempus's hand in almost a death hold as she spoked to her family member that should be dead...well was dead in a way.

"Why me and not my brothers or my mother ? I mean she looks more like your mother than I do!" Her voice sounded weak like the little girl that first met Isadora those many years ago.

Isadora ignored Tempus as she listen to her granddaughter words with a smile on her lips, she understood her confusing. Thinking her words carefully as she turned her head to the side as she thought. Her words had to be chosen carefully for Izzy wasnt sound of mind yet and this could push her. She looked at Tempus and nodded knowing he was right Izzy needed to leave and they could met up later if need be.

"Yes Isabella my dear that is right. I love your mother and brothers dearly but they are not you. You are very special to me and when you feel better you should call me and we can talk about it." She said as she wrote her number on a card and handed it tp Tempus so she didnt move so close to the girl. " I worry about you cause the line of work you picked is more then what they did and I know they are safe where you take risk."

Isadora flipped her black hair off her shoulders as her heart screamed for some one to comfort her in they way she needed. Her mind quickly turned to the doctor again as a part of her screamed for the snake of him. "Tempus is going to take you out of here and I think it is for the best my dear one. Remeber little Izzy I am just a phone call away now if you need me or anything. I do love you my little one." She said as she took a breath her mind letting out a wail of lost and need.

[Tempus]

Tempus was tempted to step sideways pulling Izzy into the space between spaces. It would have gotten them free and to her place sooner and faster. Yet he knew that in her state that was not the most prudent of things. She was under a lot of pressure and just like divers if she came up too soon her body might do horrible things to her. they would have to decompress safely albeit slower than he'd want for her. Knowing that her body called to and was called by the spoor of vampires would make the next while a labor. He caught Isadora's hedging of the truth and was willing to allow it as she did so out of a loyalty to protect Izzy. He didn't agree with much the vampiress did but that one act was endearing.

Allowing them their good byes as it were he took the proffered card and slipped it into his pocket. Scooping Izzy into his arms as he lay a faux chaste kiss at her neck. He kept his words to himself hoping to lend a portion of his strength by way of stoicism. Now wasn't the time to run hot nor cold. Strength and air free of this place is what Izzy needed and he would give her all she could hold plus more if needs be.

A curt nod to Isadora and he was on his feet Izzy tucked neatly in his arms. Having surveyed the area he knew of a rear exit. It was by far closer yet he didn't wish to show his hand and instead waited for Isadora to guide the way. It would be far better for all involved. It would give her a few more moments in her granddaughters company yet would also achieve the goal of getting Izzy free of the influence of the club. His heart went out to her not knowing a non metaphysical way to heal what he felt growing in her.

Isadora moved to leave the room as she glanced back with longing to the woman on the couch. Nodding her head she walked out of the back room and moved her way into the crowded people, the smell of sweat and sex. She wondered what she should do...then she picked up the feel of a snake.

One she missed for a while now, a soft smile touched her lips as se walked out into the night looking for him
