Random Attacker: A man in dark clothing slunk throught the shadows of Dahlia's apartment waiting for her to turn her back. When she did, he leapt up and grabbed her throat and forcefully throttled her.

Dahlia is grabbed and cries out before his hands go to her throat and start to strangle her. In her mind, she silently wills her plants to come to her aid. Her apartment is full of them, she surrounds herself with their lush greenery.
They reach out vines toward the attacker, wrapping around his arms and legs, but they do not do anything more. She loses consciousness as he strangles her and her hold over the plants fails. She lies limply in his arms.

Adrian: Adrian was relaxing in his apartment looking over his fusion power input/output ratios. He was startled when he heard a scream from next door. He instantly got up and walked to Dalhia's apartment, her door was open. He walked in with a flashlight and shined it on the source of the comotion. Dahlia was being mercilessly strangled by an unknown man. Adrian instantly pulled out his switchblade and leapt towards the assailant pressing it to his throat. "If you wish to live, I suggest you leave," he said angrily. The attacker got up wth Adrian's blade still to his throat. He ran off and let Dahlia fall. Adrian caught her and held her up. He carrie her to his apartment where he had enough light to see her wounds and laid her on the his sofa.

Dahlia lies on the couch, her eyes flicker open, focus on Adrian, and then close again. She is tired and can't seem to focus her mind well. She lays there and drifts off to sleep.

Her eyes opened again as he touched her neck, she felt sore. She looked at him as he had his hands on her neck. The smell of the flowers from which she made the salve drifts around her.
"Thanks." she said. She rolled over on her side, curled up her legs, and closed her eyes again. She was cold and started to shiver. She kept the heat turned up high in her apartment, she liked warmth.

Adrian saw her shivering and grabbed one of his heavist blankets and placed it over her body. She still seemed to be shivering. He went to his bedroom and pulled his comforter off and placed it over her. That seemed to the trick, she stopped shivering.

In the midst of our passionate kissing, a searing pain suddenly explodes in my head. I bring my hands up to cradle my aching head, and let out a cry of pain. I stand up and pace around the compartment for a moment. The pain subsides, leaving a lingering dull ache. I look at Zephyr, who still lays on the small bed, looking at me with an expression of concern.
"I am sorry, Zephyr. I don't know what happened, but I think I need some rest. Perhaps we can do this another time."
I pick my clothes up off the floor and quickly dress. I suddenly feel very vulnerable and strange. I hand Zephyr his clothing as well.

Zephyr dresses quickly, and then moves just a quickly to hold her in his arms. She seemed engulfed in so much pain, and it concerned him deeply. Perhaps he had pushed her to far, for he was sure she had not recovered fully. He narrowed his eyes, a look of geniune fear and concern growing on his face.
'Are you alright, Kaieka?'

"I'm fine... I don't know... I will be fine. I think I just need to lay down for awhile."
The pain still leaves its residue within my skull. I step out of his embrace and sit on the bed. The springs rise up to meet me, poking up into my skin, but I don't notice. I feel so very tired all of the sudden, and very overwhelmed. Zephyr still stands there. I lay down and cover up with the thin, blue blanket and close my eyes.
My mind is now no longer empty. I have made new memories to start to fill in the void that was left so short a time ago. It is a beginning, and my mind contemplates these new memories as I drift off into a fitful sleep, tossing and turning on the worn train mattress.

Zephyr sighed, hardly believing that she was fine. He decided to let her rest, but he believed the prudent thing to do was stay in the room. He sat at the corner of the bed, listening to her inhale and exhale. Soon, he closed his own eyes. Zephyr didn't need to sleep, but a little rest to restore his internal power levels never did hurt. He was hoping that they'd wake up in Moscow, unscathed. It seemed impossible, that they were always chased and under attack. Cyborgs didn't need vacations either, but the thought was nice.

Shade slips along the branches. A new night, time for a new meal.
He perches on a branch, over looking one of the smaller paths through the woods. It isn't long before someone comes down the path.
Hum, I expected a longer wait.
Dropping from the branch Shade slides up behind the late walker. His hand slides around the man's neck on the left side, covering his mouth while his right hand grabs his right hand, holding it tight.
His fangs piece the flesh of the man's neck without resistance. The man stops struggling as Shade's enzimes tak effect. The drain takes only a moment and the Vampire breaks the contact, settling the stunned human to the ground.
Walking down the path Shade licks a drop of blood from his lips. The man would be fine. The wounds would already have sealed thanks to the healing chemicals in his saliva and with all the natural drugs would see to it he probably wouldn't even remember this.
Shade glances up at the moon. "Hum. Be full in a few nights. Then..." he falls silent. His gaze slowly drifts to his right.
A woman sits on a park bench, dressed in a leather coat. Shade's tounge flicks out and his takes a deep breath of air through his nose. The triple pupils of his eyes swirl quickly, running a circle in his eyes. A gust of wind whips Shade's coat around him, his long hair tossing wildly.
Shade reachs up and wipes a last bit of blood from the corner of his mouth, keeping his gaze on Jace but saying nothing.

Shade steps closer, tilting his head slightly. He grips his cane lightly in his right hand, a gem in the richly worked head of the wooden stick catching a flash of moonlight.
"Your one of those things aren't you? The Elders said that there were other Vampires in the world."
