Welcome to Gaia! ::

Lauren pulled her Jeep up to the Grill, on a mission to get something to eat before she finds a place to crash. It was a long drive from Chicago to Southwest Virginia, nearly 16 hours if you were speeding. She was there for the same exact reason every hunter came to the little Podunk town, their notorious vampire residence. Not only that, but witches and werewolves are know to reside there as well. Really, the only reason she was there was because things were getting slow back home, which was unusual. Chicago was a famous supernatural hub. It was home to vampires, werewolves, Fae, and everything in between. Just because things were quiet in the Windy City, doesn't mean there isn't any supernatural beings there, that just means no one is causing any trouble. She's not one of those hunters who just goes and kills everything that isn't human. You have to give her a good reason for her to put you on her hit list. And most of the monsters and what-not that resided in Chicago were not evil at all. In fact, one of her best friends from high school is a shape-shifter.

As she walks into the grill, Lauren noticed that it was pretty much empty except for bartender, a waitress, and a guy who looks like he passed out on the bar. The huntress sighed and sat down at one of the booths and looked at a menu. As she searched for something that look appetizing, she couldn't help but let her eyes wander over to the man at the bar. She had to admit that he was pretty handsome, the leather jacket certainly helped with that.

As Lauren looked up from her menu, she noticed that the man from the bar finally raised his head. "Annnddd he's alive." She smiled and took a sip of her water that the waitress set down for her. The huntress then looked over at the man again as he spoke to her. "Nope." She said frankly. "Just passing through. On my way to Charleston." The huntress lied but she has been lying long enough for her to become a pro at it. Plus it seemed reasonable, South Carolina was ways south from here.

Lauren raised an eyebrow at the man at the bar, as he seemed to be hinting about something. She knew what resided in this town, and it looked like he did too. "What kind if surprises? She pushed, but she was probably going to get some sort of vague answer. But hey, you never know that he might spill if you don't ask. After a while, the waitress returned with her Club Sandwich.

Vague, why did she expect anything different? Maybe he was pro-vampire or whatever, protecting those supernatural beings that live there from wandering hunters as herself. But it wasn't the fact that vampires and werewolves and witches lived here, it was the weird deaths that seem to pop up here constantly is what drew her here. The local authorities keep saying that they were "animal attacks", but anyone with half a brain could tell that that was complete bull. Even the local cops seemed to hiding something. This case was going to be a little more difficult than Lauren thought. How was she going to get to these vamps when everyone seems to be rerouting her, but little did she know that she was actually talking to one right beside her.

The huntress' head turned around to see who else entered the grill, looking for any sort of threat. Old habit, but it keeps her alive. She saw a boy enter then not long after a girl, both seemed to be non-threatening but that could change on a dime in her line of work. Lauren sighed and took a bite of her sandwich. She couldn't help but giggle a little at the nickname the man beside her gave her. "Well, people usually call me Lauren, but what ever blows your hair back I guess." She smiled and took a sip of water. "How about you?"
