Welcome to Gaia! ::

"Lucky for us, Morone, we don't believe in those," Mave replied coldly. She stopped suddenly and got right back in his own face. "Don't you dare try to scare me, and especially not my little sister, because I will skin you alive." She laughed airily suddenly. "Morone, Morone, Morone... have you ever wondered why your last name is only one letter off from what you really are?" Her entire face broke into a genuine smile-- one that was insulting towards him-- as she began to walk again.

I grabbed the back of the ignorant brat's shirt and yanked her back to me, pinning her to my chest and poising my switchblade against my throat. I ignored the calls of the police officers, telling me to let her go; she was a witness. Even as they came towards me, I held her fast.
"Listen to me, Ms. Thing," I spat. "You better learn soon who the <********> you're dealing with, or else there will be dire consequences. I don't give two, three, or four shits what you are, what you believe in, whatever. It makes no difference to me, because I will not rest until I either have what I want, or you're dead on the ground behind me. So you better start talking. First know that I will never touch a hair on your sister's head, even though your previous remark about leaving her makes you a hypocrite. Second, I want to know what the hell you meant by my name being 'one letter off from what I am.' And thirdly: I want answers, and I want them now. Don't try any fancy footwork, or your blood - that, really, probably isn't all yours, and might, in fact, be that poor sap's down in the basement - is all over this nicely trimmed grass. This family was just brutally murdered; they don't want you ruining their yardwork."
I had never been this nasty or this serious to anyone that hadn't been proven to have murdered someone before, but, hey, circumstances change.

"Lukas!" I was outraged at his behavior. What the hell did he think he was doing? That was the best way for them not to tell us anything. "Let her go, Lukas. Take a breath. The last thing you need right now is a fight with possible witnesses. Please." My eyes were right on his. He was really out of his mind...I had never seen him like that before. And all I could do was pray that he'd listen to me. Why do guys always have to act like they know everything and can handle everything, specially when they end up messing it all up?

I was too stunned; I didn't know what to do. My arms fell limply to my sides and I let the girl's lips press against mine - a girl whose name I didn't even know.
Once again, I'll use my gender as an excuse.
Sure, I mean, technically I wasn't ignoring Terry; I put the knife down, right?

I smiled, in a daze, as if I were on a drug. Waving after her, I realize what had just happened, sobered up, and dashed after the girl, grabbing her arm.
"Wait," I said. My voice cracked with nerves, and i cleared my throat. "Wait," I said again. "If you know something like you said you do, you need to fess up. Now. This isn't CSI: Sesame Street or whatever the hell it is they're calling it now. This is real life. So get with the program and pipe up."
My gaze was firm on her own enthralling eyes, and I had to keep myself from falling into those drowning pools.

"I'm serious," I said. And I was.
Honest.
"If you don't start giving me answers, I'm going to turn you over to Detective Sanz, and believe me when I tell you he's an a*****e. Much more so than me. So I suggest you make that choice now, or else, seeing as your only other choice is fleeing the scene of a crime you're a suspect in, an executioner will be sent out after you."
I didn't agree with the whole executioner idea, truth be told. A little too Anita Blake for me. If a vampire or any supernatural being breaks a serious law, they are legally allowed to be executed.
This is in loo of the five strikes act while it's being re-examined.
Quite a difference, huh?
Note the sarcasm.

"Ah... fine, fine, fine. I surrenderrr..." She rolled her eyes. "Whatcha got for me? Or, no-- can we take Phoenix home first? I don't want her here... vulnerable."
