As he walked out into the cool night, David sniffed the air. He hated big cities like this... they stank of all the unnatural things he despised. Petrol and urine in equal measure... This place made him sick. Still, at least for now, it was home. Hustling down the street, he turned into an alleyway, and found a small opening to hide his bag in. He hated carrying it while hunting, and here it would be close to the Night Tripper. Covering it up, he left the alley, heading for the park. He wanted to really hunt, and nowhere was better for hunting than the great outdoors. Entering the park, he stripped off his buckskin shirt, allowing the fur that was his memory of frenzy to flow free. Going down to all fours, he allowed his eyes to shift, opening them to all the available light. They glowed slightly, with a red radiance that was disconcerting to say the least. Darting into the tree line, he listened for the tell tale sounds of humans. Hearing a rustling nearby, he clambered up a tree, using his claws where he couldn't find a hand hold. Going from branch to branch, he began stalking his prey, a homeless man, babbling to himself about some nonsense or other. The weak will always fall first. As the man passed under the tree Davendra was in, he pushed off, catching the old man in the chest with his shoulder. The man fell, and he was on him in a flash, long fangs sinking into the jugular. The man struggled for a moment, then grew very still... It was not long until his life began to ebb, and David left him, his throat torn out and his clothing shredded. He had a few dollars, which David pocketed. |

He felt the blood pounding in his head, filling him to the core. This was good. David felt powerful, the king of the forest... at least for now. He supposed he had best find his way to somewhere he might possibly meet more Kindred. Perhaps there was another gathering place... Leaving the park, he found his way towards the center of Enfield. If there was anywhere these city dwelling leeches would be, it was there. He listened intently, and heard what he was looking for. David went into a nearby alleyway, and began squeeking and chittering, calling out to the rats of the city. Soon he had a swarm of ten or twelve of the tiny vermin. He picked one out of the group, the largest of the bunch, and picked it up. Chittering softly, he kept the beast calm as he probed its mind for memories of the Kindred. No such luck. In disgust, he set the beast down. Leaving the alley, he resumed his wanderings, hoping some vampire might simply walk up and introduce himself. |

The young girl looked out of place in the park. She had just been feeding and was looking for something extra in case her and Rob would spend a few nights together again. The clothes she was wearing were chilly for the time of the year. She had a pair of comfy but stylish sneakers on her feet, black with gold and silver sparkles and pink laces. Leslie was wearing Daisy Dukes and a black tank top with the words 'Bite me!' on it. Her furry stripes on her back were partly visible her Sabbat sign on her chest was completely visible but she knew that as long as she was civil Anarchs wouldn't do anything. Or at least that was what she hoped. Her long hair was up in a knot like most times. Her nose went up in the air and the smell of blood raised her curiosity. She ran around and quickly found the body that was responsible for it but she wondered who was responsible for this. Knowing she was in Anarch land and that the Baron didn't like her, to say the least, she realised she better didn't get spotted above this dead human. Leslie jumped on a branch and after a few seconds she landed at the other side of the park. At first it seemed that there wasn't a soul around. She grabbed her phone and texted Rob: Missing you! I'm at a park in Enfield. I'll text you tomorrow for a snuggle date Love Leslie xoxo

He watched the woman dismount from the trees with a sort of detached interest. It was obvious she was Kindred, even from this distance. Still, better to be wary. He approached her slowly, ready to fight or run at a moments notice. She was dressed in what his father would have called whore's clothing, but David appreciated the effect. After all, his father had been an insufferable bore, and a homicidal werewolf to boot. As he got closer, he noticed the tiger stripes on her back. Another Gangrel then... "Hey! What are you doing in the park? That's my A ni no ha li do hv Di ga do hi!" David didn't mean to sound hostile, but something about this woman put his hackles up. He felt his fangs drop into his mouth, and the beast try to rear its ugly head. He squashed it. No need to get violent... yet. |

While tucking away her phone in one of the pockets that were just big enough for her phone she smelled that scent from before again. Right after she had noticed it a voice startled her. The girl jumped back on the branch she was on earlier. On all four she was balancing searching for the source of the unknown voice. Her eyes were like little lights hidden away in the dark between the leaves. She could sense the hostility of the other vampire. When she saw him she also noticed he was Gangrel and she hoped it would make this a bit easier. “Excuse me, but I didn’t completely understood you there.” The girl landed in front of him. The moonlight gave her pale skin an even paler look. His fangs were visible and she instantly thought ‘Chillax girl, two strangers in the middle of the night. You are not here for trouble.’ But she also realised that it might have been smarter not to wear something that would make her Sabbat sign on her chest so obvious. “Let’s introduce nicely, shall we? I’m Leslie.” The young one extended her hand. “And you are...?” Edited by Leslie, Friday, 23. November 2012, 13:21.

He smirked when she jumped. It seems these city Kindred didn't even pay attention to their surroundings... that would be a risk for them to learn about later. "Davendra, but you probably want something a little easier to call me, do..." David trailed off as he noticed the Sabbat symbol. He knew who the Sabbat were, and had learned over the years that they usually ran in packs. This one, however, seemed to be solo... and in Anarch territory. There was something wrong here... "Call me David. As for what I said, it's my hunting ground. Claimed turf if you will. As for civil, I wasn't sure shovelheads did civil. U lv no ti s gi." As he was talking, his stance shifted from casual to ready, his feet apart, and his knees slightly bent. |

Want something easier to call me! Shovelhead! What did this guy think? That she was stupid?! Leslie immediately felt an anger creeping up on her. Her kindness quickly changed into an ice cold attitude. She stood straight and stared into his eyes. "You must be a real gentleman with all the stupid things you say. Well Davendra, I'm sorry I was walking here. I didn't knew I was on your precious turf. I don't know how civil shovelheads are but I do know that I'm not one and that I am the one who was being friendly here." she said with sarcasm. Suddenly she saw how his stance changed and couldn't help but laugh. Why did everyone acted so agressive these days. "Hold your horses... what are you going to do? Pounce on me, rip my dead heart out or no wait: you are going to bite me?!" her tone was casual and she was clearly having fun. |

"Excuse me... I've obviously offended you. Apparently things work differently on this side of the world. The Sabbat I'm used to are hardly friendly. My manners aren't exactly civil, I know... Too long spent running from Wendigo. I really wish you'd let me start over..." Embarrassed by his primal reaction, David slumped a little. He wasn't sure why, but he couldn't seem to connect with anyone without pissing them off first. He really was trying. "I haven't been in a city for a long time... my manners are a little rusty. Any idea how I make this up to you?" |

Obviously! She rolled her eyes but when she heard the little beep from the message she received her hostile behaviour changed. 'With Nora and Sullivan?' She thought while reading the text. It was good that he could have a chat with them and as long as they avoided Leslie as a subject he could have a great night so she replied: Really? Have fun tonight. I don't know how long this little situation I'm in is going to take but don't worry though I'm fine While putting her phone away she looked up at Davendra. His sudden change was welcome. If only others acted like that it would make certain things easier in life. "Never mind. I'm used to it... it is like people never look further than my sect." She shrugged and held out her hand again. "Pleasure to meet you Davendra." she smiled and there was nothing hostile and distant to notice in her attitude. |

He heard her phone go off again, and was slightly surprised when she looked at it, despite the situation. It must be something very important... "I know the feeling. My family disowned me, and threatened to kill me when I became Kindred. Sorry again." He shook her hand gently. She smelled familiar some how, but he couldn't put his finger on where he knew her scent from... He knew he'd never met her before... this was one woman you would not forget... "What are you up to, anyway? Most vamps don't like to be in the woods..." |

Another beep, another message but this one she didn't answer. There was a slight anger in her eyes. While putting her phone back she shook her head. The things that were going on in her head were not nice, to say the least, so she sighed to calm herself down. The strange question about the woods pulled her out of her anger. She pointed at her back. "What do you think? I'm Gangrel, I just like to be close to nature. Something always calls for me when I'm close to parks and woods. It has a feeling of freedom, nature never judges you and that's what I like so much about it." Life wasn't easy, not for anyone. And this guy had his own history just like her. She nodded as to say he shouldn't say sorry. Being defensive was smart so he shouldn't be sorry. The message had left a worrying look on her face. She jumped on a low branch to sit on. |

"Hey, are you alright U s di U lv?" David jumped up to a branch near her, and settled into a seated position. He looked at Leslie with an expression of concern. He barely knew this Sabbat Gangrel, and yet he already felt in some way responsible for her... a risk of his raising perhaps. He was always part of a 'pack' growing up, and now he was trying to replace the feeling. "I get it if you don't want to talk to me, but I always found it easier to talk to something with fur." The last comment was said jokingly, poking fun at his own bloodline. After all, humor might make Leslie a little more comfortable. |

"Usd... what? Do I need to be offended again?" It was said in a casual tone even though she felt a nervous feeling raging inside of her. She laughed when he made the comment about the fur but it didn't take away her worried look. Leslie couldn't tell him his Baron had just announced that she wasn't welcome in Anarch land. She thought about what she could say instead. The last thing she had expected to see when she looked up at David was a look of concern. It felt odd but strangely comforting to know there were still people with an honest intrest in others, no matter what sect they were. "I'm hoping Ro... I mean my boyfriend isn't in trouble. Some think we are not a perfect match." Leslie didn't want to mention Rob in case there was trouble going on in the Anarch pub. |

"U s di U lv. It means little sister. So I hope not." David leaned forward and touched her shoulder. He didn't like to see anyone looking upset, and she was obviously stewing over some very big problems. Still, the least he could offer her was the comfort of his... well, I guess you could call it a home... In the few minutes that he had talked to her, sect had already disappeared to him. The only reason he was an Anarch was because he refused to kowtow to some puffed up princeling. "Ro... Rob? I just met him! Great guy... Why would he be in trouble? As for perfect match... well, I don't believe in it personally, but I do believe everyone should get the choice. You're always welcome here. The both of you. I like you, and he took good care of me when I met him." David smiles comfortingly at Leslie, hoping to make a new friend here. |

A big grin appeared on her face. Little sister... how lovely to hear from another Gangrel. When he reached out to her she flinched but when his hand landed on her shoulder she smiled again. He knew Rob and he liked him. To her surprise he didn't judge their relation. "Yeah, Rob is really great. Thank you for your invitation, I will keep that in mind but if you want to stay on your Baron her good side you better not mention me. Rob just texted me letting me know she just announced that I'm not welcome on Anarch grounds. From the moment she met me she just hated me. I don't know what to do anymore!" Leslie cursed in Dutch. She had no right to drag David in this mess, she thought it would be better if she left. The girl sighed... sitting here felt comfortable but if someone saw her it would create an ugly situation. |

"Well hell... I've never been much of one for following rules. As far as I'm concerned, this park is mine, and friends of mine are welcome. To hell with this Baron. I don't follow a prince, and I don't get ordered around by anyone. You are welcome here. If you need somewhere to stay, my ground is always open." David moved closer, and put his arm around her. He was building his pack all right... and it sounded like it was going to be hell or high water. Still, it was important to protect those you cared about. |

Her mouth literally dropped open when David gave her his verdict on the matter. She had expected a kick, a yell or a tantrum. Something like: leave you Sabbat bitch! But she had not seen it coming that he wouldn’t mind having her and Rob around or that the Baron could get upset by this. Upset might not be the right word for what Nora was capable of doing if she heard about this. Leslie just laughed and hugged him. “You are amazing, crazy but amazing!” |

"Well, they always said that a wild child was raised by wolves. I'm just lucky enough to say I was raised by Wendigo." David smiled when Leslie hugged him back. It had been a long time since anyone had taken to that much physical contact without it being violent. He had always missed the feeling. Growing up, he had never been at a lack for it, between sleeping with the whole family in one big room, in a pile on the floor, to his mom and Grandma... It was nice to feel close to someone again. "Now, how do you think I go about telling the wanna be princess that if she wants her people in this park, they all have to play nice?" |

“Wendigo?” She asked. She stared at him, not able to say anything for a while. He was being serious. The last thing she wanted was another Anarch defending her. Rob was something Nora might understand, even if it was just a little, but someone like David who barely knew Leslie that would only bring more thunder in the sky. Why was everything being so difficult to understand for some? “If you like your fur I wouldn’t do that. How do you think she’ll react: sure, no problem... for you anything!” The young one shook her head. Making friends and keeping them wasn’t going to be a walk through the park. She started to wonder why she always found herself with Anarchs, more then with Sabbat. “She already thinks I’m just with Rob to sell Sabat propaganda, like I’m going to hand out flyers: Join us now! We need you!” Leslie laughed to hide her nervous anger “Nora thinks I’m spawn from hell because I’m Sabbat. I don’t want to make it worse and I have no right dragging you into my problems. Promise me that you don’t mention me to anyone... except Rob.” His name brought a goofy smile upon her face, he was the only one keeping her in London. |

"Wolf men. I'm kin to a bunch of werewolves. Makes the fact I'm Gangrel kind of ironic." He listened to her speech about the Baron with a frown on his face. While he could understand where the woman could make that assumption about most Sabbat, anyone who met this one would know better... "Well, you didn't drag me into your problems. Way I see it, U s di U lv, I made it my problem. I don't like bullies... especially when they use their position of power for personal reasons. You and Rob will be safe here. If she doesn't like it... well, it's my hide. You just worry about what happens if we have to fight." He knew it was probably a bad idea to antagonize the Baron this soon after getting into town, but this was his pack. Despite the fairly recent acquisition of kinship, he bonded with these people. This was his pack, and his territory. A wolf fights for what's his. |
