Damn it was hot. It was the sticky sort of hot too. Guess that is what she got for living in this place she was calling home. Maybe it wouldn't have been so bad if she wasn't out in it for the second time tonight. The first time was to have a little fun with Blake. She had the bit on her neck to prove it too. This time it was to see Daemon, the Lord of the Vampires. She always thought a good thunder clap or something would go along great with that. You know how the bad guys did it on tv. Like that. That was just how she felt. What was bad was she had a bit on her neck and was going to go see the most important vampire she could think of. Hopefully that wouldn't be too terribly bad.

She had her hair down and was in her favorite top. It was lose fitting and felt good on the skin. Kinda made her fell like a pirate sometimes, but that was behind closed doors when she was in her underwear. Few people knew she had an imagination and loved using it. She was also in her shorts that showed her nice legs. That and converse. She didn't have anything nice to see the Lord in. Well not that she wanted to wear out at midnight. That just wasn't on her things to do tonight. She wanted to talk to him, have her chilled coffee, and go home and snuggle up with Blake. She missed seeing him sometimes. He was her favorite thing about all of this, that and her brother.

She entered the coffee shop on the east side, so its hours were nine at night to four in the morning. It was nice. It was great for night dwellers like herself and the wolves. She ordered her drink and went to sit down at a table. She hadn't' seen Daemon yet, but then again she had only met the guy once, and that was a passing glance. Now as to why she called him. She wanted to talk about the murders and kidnappings happening. She was the cause of it all, but she wanted him to know it wasn't anything she wanted to do. Some she did, but that was for attacking her randomly. She liked the vampires and werewolves. Really, she did. It was hard not to like them.

Her name was called and she went to go get her drink. Taking a few sips she felt the cold liquid run down her throat. Taking her seat again she waited for the Lord to show up. her mind drifted towards her vampire that was waiting at home for her. They were going to watch Transformers tonight. Her mind wandered and she never heard the door open.

It had only been a few days earlier that Daemon had received a call saying that Eve, head of The Tainted, wanted to speak to him. What could she want? Probably some sort of proposition to allow her people into his places or for help, one of the two. Really he would rather be doing things that weren't so political at the moment but it couldn't hurt to give her a listen. After all she had proposed that they meet in the coffee shop, a known frequenting place of vampires. It meant she was confident that no harm would come to her and it wouldn't unless she gave him reason for it.

There was a soft jingle as he opened the door moving the bell that hung above it, letting all know another customer had come in. Today was one of his lazy days so he hadn't gone through all the elaborate things needed to get dressed up. Heads turned but soon went back to their meals. He came here often enough that it wasn't so much of a spectacle when he showed up. The two men who had come as gaurds took a seat in the booth behind the one Eve sat in, Daemon took the seat across from her. "What brings you to my lovely part of town Miss Eve?" He asked, giving her a soft one sided smile.

She was a little lost in thought about the movie tonight. She hadn’t seen it since she was a kid. That was the one thing she and her dad did when she was little. It was the one thing she enjoyed as a child. That and watching transformers speak French is kind of funny. It was always a funny move when one watched something in a langue that it wasn’t filmed in. You’d think they would get better at it, but no. Either way it made for a great movie.

She missed the jingle as the door opened but she didn’t miss the turning of heads. Daemon was here. She took a sip from her drink and looked up to see him. She was a little shocked to see what she saw. She figured a big man in a suit, not the handsome man now sitting in front of her. Did all vampires look this good? She probably didn’t look like someone that ran the Tainted. She was only 5’ 2 and rather tiny. She took note of the men now sitting behind her. Turning in her seat she looked at them and nodded. ”Are the rather large men necessary?” She turned back to face the vampire in front of her. ”Well one reason is you Daemon. The other is a personal reason.” She absent mindedly brushed the blond hair behind her exposing the hicky Blake had left. ”I need to talk to you about the kidnappings and murders of your people. All very sad, but there is a good reason for it.”

The girl who sat opposite him wasn't what he'd expected the head of The Tainted to look like. She looked like she should be out doing cheerleading, not conducting murders and other such crimes. She appeared to be close to his age, well his human age. There was no way she wa s anywhere close to his vampire age, that was hundreds of years, seeing as he'd become a vampire in the Victorian Era. The two men weren't really necessary, he could easily take care of her, others had insisted he not go to the meeting alone. You never knew when danger might strike, rather than debate with the others about it he carted the two men with him.

"No, they are quite unnecessary actually." He replied. It was the truth of the matter, what chance did a human stand against a vampire as old as he? She wanted to discuss him? This wasn't show and tell time, he'd thought it was over important matters, then she reached the second subject of the meeting. So she knew why his people were disappearing, was it her work? "I'm listening." He replied, waiting for her to continue. What reason could she consider good? To him there were few things that constituted a good reason.

She knew she didn't look like she ran what she did. The Tainted was her domain, and she loved it. Granted the crime rate was horrid but she belonged to it. She was a lawyer so her pay was up for sure. She just wanted to put the city of of their job, and get rid of the biased people on the council. Make things fair when they weren't. So she was doing bad to be good. Which was a little odd, but hey it works.

Really, she didn't stand a chance against the man in front of her. He was older, bigger, and a vampire. That was the key thing, he was a vampire. "Really, I can't do anything to you, so their job is easy tonight." She took another sip of her coffee before she started to talk again. She told him about what she wanted to talk about. She got rid of problem vampires. She also took some vampires for her own use, but she had humans and werewolves too. She took a sip again before going on. "Simply put The Tainted are to blame. There are a few of your vampires unharmed in my care. I'm not asking them to do anything at all." She kept them fed and well rested. She didn't torture them unless they deserved it. And few ever reached that point. "I don't want to harm your people. There were a few murders that were by my people's hand, but I don't tolerate murder in cold blood." She took another drink. "Eye for an eye. But I want you to know that if I didn't attack your people or the werewolves and only humans, than that would put you and the wolves in danger." She hopped he understood that. She didn't like harming the vampires or the werewolves. Some took her in when she needed it. She pulled her legs up to her chest. She waited for his reply. Who knew what she was going to do. She needed her assassin with her on theses.

Even now it was hard to believe that this innocent looking girl before him was in fact responsible for quite a few murders as well as other crimes. If he hadn't known then he himself wouldn't have believed it. She'd shown herself to be who she was though and now he could see the killer in her. It was buried or at least appeared so but it was there. He could see a likeness in himself. By what she'd said she didn't like to kill, only doing so when she felt it necessary. It seemed they both fought out of necessity.

"Quite easy indeed." He replied. There would be no action if that was what they hoped for, it would be a boring task. The Tainted, her organization were the ones responsible for the murders and disappearances, the mystery was explained. So diplomatic, that's what she sounded like, then again they had met for business so why should it be any different. "I keep a tight control on the vampire activities as you surely know but there are always a few strands that get left behind. Not all of them are frayed, some are still completely usable. Not all that you've killed or taken are guilty as you say. Punishing those that deserve it is acceptable, they shouldn't have committed the crime they have. All I ask is that you let me handle vampire affairs, they will be dealt with as our law dictates." He replied. Those who chose the life of a criminal he'd gladly sacrifice but those who were innocent, he couldn't stand by and let them be sacrifices as well. "Are we at an agreement that you only lay out punishment to those who have in fact committed a crime against you? I would hate to have to take action against your organization." He said as he watched her across the table, hands folded before him.

She held a dark secret that no one really knew. Even her older brother. She was doing all of this for her dad. He may have been dead but she had to cling on to something to help her keep going. She did hold that killer inside of her. That came from her father, always teaching her what to do and how to do it, with out getting caught. However she only killed if was absolutely necessary. If it wasn’t, then she wouldn’t kill them and them alone. However that was almost never the case if they harmed one of her own. Maybe he did the same thing.

She tried to sound as important as she could. She was here for business and she was going to try and sound that way. Her group was the one that was tied to most of the crime in the city. As she listened she nodded at what the vampire in front of her said. He maybe have kept tight control but somehow she still got in. She smiled a little at him when he said not all were guilty. No, some weren’t, the dead were always guilty though. ”The murdered were killed with out a shadow of a doubt of their crimes. I have people dead because of them. I took care of the problem before more of my people could be harmed. Now the kidnapped weren’t guilty of anything, simply easy targets. Though none are harmed at all. Each are cared for as if they were my own family. I give them the best I can.”[/b] She took each one under her care and kept them fed and well rested. She kept them with the other vampires in matching coffins, hoping that if anyone found them that the older vampires or wolves would save them. ”I will only lay punishment to those who committed a crime. I’m not heartless Daemon. I will return your kidnapped vampires to you as soon as I can. For now they are safe and under my care. If you want to see them, ask. I have no objections to their Lord seeing them. As long as my name isn’t uttered by them, I have no problems. Are we in understanding Daemon?” She sat forward in her seat and waited for anything to happen. Anything at all.

There was something off about her assurance of their guilt. All he had were her words. What was to say that she wasn't lying so she could kill any vampire she wished? He wouldn't become the puppet of a human girl, never. This situation would be dealt with and dealt with now. It would be his way, that was the only way he'd have it. She was stepping into his territory by punishing vampires. Seeing her attitude now made him regret the statement he'd made just moments ago, it would be repealed and all would be as it should be. A slight glint in his eye would show that she was going the wrong way with the discussion and being quite the irritant, something that tended to end in death.

"Criminals or innocents they are still vampires and my people. No matter who they are I have vowed to protect them from the harm of outside forces, you and your group fall in that category. You shall dish out no punishment on them. They will be punished by vampire laws and no other. I wish this to cause no bad blood between us. As for those you've kidnapped they will be released tomorrow, if not you risk danger to you and your followers." He replied, a soft growl in his voice. Hopefully she would get this was not just a discussion but a threat, one he'd keep to. Maybe they could still keep things peaceful, he hoped so. At times his temper just got out when it shouldn't, this being one of them, not to an extreme extent though. If it had been true anger then she would have already had her throat ripped out, warm blood on his lips.

This really had taken a wrong turn somewhere. Why were vampires, mainly head vampires, so complicated? Yes the act of kindness was making sure she lived. What a lovely way to say give back the kidnapped or die. Bright side was he now giving her a week to give them all back. Was he not getting it she thought. ”Collected? You are just going to barge in and get them even if I agree?” I think you are highly mistaken on that.” She didn’t like where this was going. He didn’t need to know where she was or when she was holding anybody. Because if he knew then he could turn her whole group in, and then…she didn’t want to think about after.

He didn’t trust her. Smart man. Smart man. However smart he was he was bloody insane. She wasn’t going to send anyone over to him. That would mean the same with the wolves too. And then there went the whole Tainted group. No. She sighed and looked at him with soft eyes. She wasn’t agreeing to this, for more than one reason. If they weren’t under her control, then they could do what ever they pleased. Which could end up in more deaths or innocent people. ”I know you want me to agree to this. I can’t for one very simple reason. I give you any of my people and some of your people could end up in more danger thus causing more deaths. I can’t watch them while they are under your care, now can I?” She realized not agreeing with him was not the best move but it had to be done. She tired thinking of something he may agree with. She couldn’t give them back yet and he sure as hell couldn’t take them back.”I don’t want to cause a war between us, resulting in a blood bath of my group. I’m really no match with a vampire, nor is the group. How would that look on your hands, not easy to cover up. I’d know. Listen to my offer for a moment. I can’t give the kidnapped back yet, but I promise you will get them back as soon as possible. See if I let them go the council will find out and try and find them. Which would end up with them harassing your people for answers and once they got them, your people would die. The council wants me dead and the supernatural set gone. If any of them die under my care you can have my life and do what you please with it. I won’t stop you.” She’d walk to him and let him do what ever with her life if anybody died. Hurt she can’t promise, the boys liked to rough house. That and she liked to mess with some of the vampires, she had a few bruises thanks to them. She’d taken him to see them tonight if he wanted. She hopped they were all still there. It was movie night for everyone. Some stayed in and watched movies while the others went out with a few of the Tainted members.

The negotiations weren't going as well as he'd hoped they would. His hopes had been that he'd show up, tell her to leave vampire business to him and that would be that, but it wasn't meant to be that way. Instead she was refusing every act of kindness he sent her way. He'd offered to leave her be about the ones she'd punished and take back the ones she'd taken. It seemed it would boil down to a fight eventually, now wasn't the time for that. "You have one week. After that time I will have the captives collected." He replied. That was the final deal, he couldn't risk them being in danger. Whether she was giving them the good life or not they were still captives.

He did need some form of assurance that she would do as she said. Now to work out that little detail. "I need some form of insurance that you will do as I have asked of you. Sadly I can't just rely on your word, I need a bargaining tool. Neither of us want a war, so why don't you send the same number of people to me from your organization as you have of my people. When my people are returned to me then yours shall be returned to you. It sounds quite fair to me." He added. Unless she agreed to this neither of them would go anywhere, even if it meant he had to end it in a fight. What had to be done had to be done. This was for his people, if he couldn't live for himself then he would for his people.

She wasn't going to negotiate, at least not the way he wanted. This would be a hard chess piece to move but he would find a way. He would get what he wanted, that he could be sure of. Until then he wouldn't stop, he was quite stubborn when need be. This was one of those need be cases, he would handle vampire manners, not her. It wasn't her place, not her business. "Then you will turn my people over to me. I can handle anything the council might try to throw my way. Vampires have taken care of their own affairs this long, they will continue to do so. I can promise you that you will have every justice that you deserve for the crimes they've committed." He replied. That was the best he could do for her. If she wouldn't take it then that was her problem.

This was not going the way she had hopped. That and it was taking longer too. She had plans for later but she was going to have miss them. Right now she wasn't a big fan of the vampire in front of her. He was messing up the night she was going to try and not think about things. Just then her phone started to vibrate. Sighing she looked at the caller ID. Blake. "Pardon me for a moment. I have to take this, its a case on one of your vampires." She stood and walked to the window. She asked for it to be put on hold till a later date and that she was busy. Hanging up she sat back down in front of Daemon. "Sorry about that. I told them not to call tonight."

She had to think about what he said for a moment. They weren't getting anywhere what so ever. He wanted the vampires back, he wasn't getting the vampires back. Which brought her to thinking if he was even listing to her. "Are you even listing to me> Or are you just that stubborn?" Vampire had only been legal for eight years. At least here in St.Louis. The council didn't like vampires and wasn't fair to them. It was not fair. "Justice for who? And I'm not giving them back, sorry but no. However there is one that I think would love to return home. I trust him enough to not say anything to the council. He was never suppose to get kidnapped, he helped me before hand when I was in school." He was the only one that she would willingly give back. One of the women had a fancy for him, and still does. She felt sorry for him really. "The others, no. I won't give them up. Not until the council starts to see things my way. I won't kill any more vampires, I have no need to. They kill a member of mine and I might. As for the vampires entering my court room, I do my best to keep them out. Where are you when they are there? I never see you."

They weren't getting anywhere with these negotiations. He wanted his vampires back and she was refusing to return them. They shouldn't have been taken in the mean time. She must think he couldn't keep them safe from the council himself. That wasn't true. When need be he did what it took to put the fear back into the council and at the same time getting them to see the logic in not going for a mass genocide of the vampires. War was not something the council wanted, they knew it would end badly for them, no man stood a chance with a vampire, none. If it came to war it would be the human race that was exterminated. Though this understanding was quite fragile and needed patching now and then it was currently stable.

Listening? Yes he was listening to her. She wasn't seeing things how they should be seen. She didn't want to see that what she'd done was wrong, it was very wrong. "I believe it is you who isn't listening to me. I want my vampires back and I plan to see them released no matter what action it takes to do so. They are safe enough with me. As for those who enter your court, I'm not with them because I tend to other urgent business most times. Matters dealing with your organization tend to lay below what I can give attention to so I send a representative I trust to handle those affairs." He replied. Really her and her little organization weren't on the top of his list, though they were climbing. In the beginning they'd been nothing to worry about but that was changing. Having to look over your shoulder for a possible enemy while you were dealing with two others was quite the difficult and stressful task.

She sighed and took a few sips of her drink. Thank god for foam cups. Her drink still was the perfect level of cold. They weren't getting anywhere with anything. Did she think he wasn't able to take care of his vampires? No, she thought he could just fine. However she didn't think he could keep the ones she'd return out of jail again. She didn't just pick up members from the street. He had things under control now, but for how long? The council was always finding a way around Daemon.

"No I'm listing to you." She knew it was wrongish. See she was taking them from jail, so how wrong could that be? Actually it was illegal. However she wasn't going to get into that. He wanted his vampires, he wasn't going to get his vampires. It was a game she wasn't going to play with him. "I'm a lawyer, okay. I don't deal with the petty crimes of the city. I deal with high risk cases all day, every day. If you can't show up and defend your people for a wrong they didn't do, why should I give them back to you? The vampires in court have nothing to do with my group. I don't pick up vampires off the streets. I get them out of jail because their Lord didn't come and get them." If he would keep his vampires out of jail, she'd give him the kidnapped back. Granted the four she had wasn't much really. She had more members than kidnapped vampires and werewolves. Now the human kidnapped population was rather high. "Show up to a court case and help me keep your people out of harms way, and I'll give you the kidnapped back. Until then, they stay."
