Welcome to Gaia! ::

((Enter from Central Park))

She suddenly felt compelled to jump upon one of the shorter buildings, her cloak wavering behind her. She lay down on the hard roof of the building, her fingers curling into her hair behind her head, inside her cloak. She pushed her hood down so only her blood-stained lips showed beneath the black shadow. She heard a limo pass by, her ears picking up both murmured shouts and shattering glass. She grinned, speaking from the side of her mouth, "F*cking limos everywhere these days." She laughed to herself, her mouth opening, exposing nearly a hundred pointed, blood-stained teeth. She closed her eyes, humming a short melody she had picked up from one of her victim's last breaths.

~ Eihwa sighs as Jacques departs early, like always. There seems to be something, or someone more important than her, and it doesn't really bother her as much as it probably should.
After driving around the block and down the street a bit, she informs the driver that she is ready to be dropped off. With two packets of blood in her arms, walking down the street, she's bound to be discovered as a little more than odd by the mortals - so she leaves the blood in the limo. Perhaps that is the reason she left the blood, perhaps not.
When Eihwa steps into the street, and the car drives off without her, she closes herself off and begins to practice her new disciplines. They come easily to her after an hour or so of walking and she realizes she hadn't really practiced them so intently before because her interests weren't tangible in that area, until now.
She'll have to learn how to get around on her own and appease her hunger in a more tactical way, from now on she'll spend her off hours honing those skills.
Eihwa continues to wander through the streets of New York. ~

As the car passes through the large bright city, Thorn takes the time to look out her window at the beautiful lights. They passed countless buildings with countless signs, New York was still the same: really big, busy, and bright.

Thorn quickly turns her attention from the sight of the city, to the briefcase that rested upon her lap. She was still expecting her pay from her last assignment, and this driver still hadn't given it to her. Perhaps he was new and didn't know the routine, but his mind told her otherwise. He planned on trying to kill her by crashing the car and taking her money for himself.

Her bright icy blue eyes flickered with amusement, this human obviously was new, as well as not having a single clue about vampires. She decided to act before it was too late to save her baggage that was located in the trunk of the car. She quickly said in her velvety voice, "If you could pull over please Sir, I'd like to check upon my luggage." Her British accent shone purely through her entire sentence.

The driver looked at her as though she were insane, considered his plan, and answered, "Okay... but I don't see what there is to check on... But if you must go ahead..."

As the car pulled over, Thorn had the driver opened the trunk for her. She started unloading her luggage and asked, "So where's my money? I was told that you are to deliver it to me, and yet I have not received it as of yet. May I ask what is taking you?" She smiled a sinister smile, seeing the driver wince at her questions that were more accusations, then her wicked smile.

The driver started to back away from her, "I-I've got the money r-right h-here, just hold on Miss." Suddenly the driver made a sudden dash for his car, but Thorn was much too fast for him. As he was opening the car door, and just setting his leg upon the floor of the car, the car door slammed upon his leg, shattering his kneecap.

He screamed in pain as well as shock, and turned to look at Thorn in dread. Thorn could tell that the driver was completely flustered as to how she had slammed the door with so much force as to shatter his kneecap. She smiled again and said while extending her hand, "My money, if you please Sir."

The driver hadn't yet given up, and decided to cut his life short. He pulled out a shotgun and fired at Thorn. His bullet whizzed across the street, and deflected off a nearby pole. Thorn, having jumped weightlessly atop the car now jumped back down. She had had enough of this foolishness and chose to end it. With one quick thrust of her arm, she had clasped her hand around the driver's neck. Before killing him she whispered into his ear with her velvety voice, "Good night, it will be eternal for you my dear Sir." Then a snap was heard, followed by a thud. The driver's lifelss body was laid upon the side of the road, and Thorn didn't bother to move it.

.:Fool, he could have had a future, and yet his greed took it away:.

She sighed, reloaded her luggage into the trunk, stripped the driver of his keys, and started the car back up. Then she decided that she should dispose of the driver's useless body. She took the keys out of the ignition, opened the car door, swung her leg out and stood beside the car, closed the car door, then locked the car up.

She then walked over to the driver's loose hanging body, and picked it up. Thorn looked around for a garbage bin to dump the body in, but saw none in the alleys. Realizing her slight problem, she started off by scanning to make sure that no one was watching her, fortunately no one was. Then she started off in search of a garbage bin.

"Hm?" She mumbled again, she had another bone stuck into her mouth at this time. She had her hands stuffed into her pockets, and walked watching the girl, her eyes intent. "So it is that you have finally noticed me?" Her voice was weak and scratchy, she had just begun speaking again when she had stopped, while traveling all through South America. It had been many years. "I track you because you seemed to have developed your mind indeed farther than the last time I saw you. You were thrown from a limo. I'm surprized you still have the courage to ride in them with strange men." As she watched the young girl take out a short blade, she nearly took to giggling. "That can do no harm to me, young vampire. I could kill you before you got the chance to throw it." She plucked the bone from her mouth, and casually tossed it down to the street, intentionally missing the girl, even if it was only by an inch or two.

Suddenly, Thorn felt a twinge of hate being directed towards her. It was from another vampire it seemed. She hardly cared that the vampire disapproved, it was either her life or the driver's. The driver wasn't going to stop shooting until he had seen her dead, she saw it in his mind. Besides, what would he know of her situation? Why were people so quick to judge these days? Perhaps she would track him down later and apologize for her brutality, it wasn't normally how she would react. However...

She continued to carry the lifeless body of the driver pondering how she would track the vampire whom hated her because of a 'first impression'. She hated it when people judged by first impressions, they couldn't tell whther or not a person was truly nice unless they got to know them personally, even then sometimes... However, she was used to that reaction by now, and hardly cared what others thought. Though she felt that she should at least tempt to apologize to the vampire whom clearly viewed her as a merciless killer; he was partially right, she was an assigned assassin, but she still had some mercy left in her heart, little but she still carried some.

Thorn sighed a sigh of frustration, partially at how she had behaved, and partially at this quick-to-judge vampire. As she was walking she turned to peer down an alleyway, sure enough there was a dumpster. She quickly went over to it, lifted the lid, and hurled the body inside. Glad that no one had actually whitnessed her killing she sighed a soft sigh of relief.

As she started to head back towards the car, she decided that she would have to phone her employer about this. After all, she couldn't have crazy drivers plotting to kill her for her money constantly; she already had enough to worry about as it was.
