Merci Pour Le Venin.

Giovanni got out of his bed and stretched. It was something that he still carried over from his human life – a life that left him hundreds of years ago. Things that have left him though, were the desire to eat or drink food that a normal human would want, the sense of time, the ability to fall in love – so he thought. He just believed that the last one left him when he accidentally killed his last lover – and that was at least 300 plus years before hand.

His apartment wasn’t one that he exactly rented or paid for. The previous tenant actually owned it – it was a condo, rather than an apartment, per say. One night, Giovanni got a tad hungry, and this guy just happened to be in the general vicinity of where he was. When Giovanni snuck into the apartment, the guy was just watching TV – he was actually watching True Blood, which was laughable to Giovanni. After sucking the life out of the guy – just after scaring the life out of him -- Giovanni walked around the condo and checked the place out. It had a spacious kitchen and a bathroom, neither of which Giovanni would ever use. The master bedroom was abnormally large for a place like that. There was a guest room and a large living room, and the view of the ocean was absolutely amazing. So, instead of leaving the man there to be found by the authorities, he threw his drained out carcass on the street and then proceeded to take over the place. Sure, the neighbours thought it was strange that this younger guy just started living there and the older guy was just … gone. But that’s the way that it was. And people were too scared of the dark haired fellow that lived there nowadays.

He walked into the guest room to find some more of the ridiculous wardrobe that he had, and he ended up pulling out a plain black v-neck t-shirt and a pair of dark wash blue jeans. Then he headed out. The day was overcast, so he didn’t have to worry about being burnt by the sunlight. He slipped on a pair of Vans and then headed out. He didn’t know what his plan was, and he didn’t know whether or not he would make one throughout the day. But he just wanted out of the apartment. He was certain that there was something that he could learn that day. Four hundred eighty-three years on the planet, and Giovanni only knew one thing for sure. One had the opportunity to learn something new every single day.

He walked out on the pier and just stared off towards the horizon. Even vampires would daydream.

Victoria looked around her new apartment and gave a deep sigh. She had just moved in e day before and still had boxes all over the place. She had a blow up matrice and a blanket in the bedroom and all her clothes were in opened boxes next to it. She couldn't help but gently play with the heart shaped locket that held her late adoptive daughter's picture inside. She had been devestated to hear that the littl girl she had raised, had died at eighty-five after having a heart-attack. She was slowly getting over it, but it was still hard to think her little Andy was gone forever.

Shaking thoughts of Andromeda out of her head, Vicki grabbed a bottle of blood and a poptart before practically running out of her apartment to get away from the sight of so many boxes of all the things she had collected over the years. She was wearing a black and red mini skirt, a pair of fish-nets, a white short sleeved blouse with a black vest over it, and a pair of black combat boots. Her black hair was tied up in a funky sort of set of pigtails and her lips were painted the color of the liquid she was drinking. She knew to some people she looked scary and to others she looked hot, but she didn't care as long as she liked what she was wearing. Victoria had never had a boyfriend, and had never been with a man, so she couldn't say that she would care about anything as long as her man liked her. She didn't have a man, though she did want one. She had spent the last decade wishing that she had found someone to love like her daughter had, but it seemed that it wasn't in the cards for her just yet.

Letting her feet take her where they wanted to go without putting much thought into it, Victoria ended up on the piers where she could perfectly see the horizon as the boats and ships sailed in. Unknowingly, Victoria had been too busy watching the water to notice she had run right into someone, a man for that matter, and not just any man, a male vampire. He was very handsome in her eyes, though many probably woudln't see him that way. Giving a slightly nervous giggle, Vicki looked up at him. "I'm sorry. I wans't looking where I was going." She told him honestly.
