((That works 8D And it isn't that strange for a bad guy to go to a grave site, is it...? Hm...))

Chloe nodded slightly, taking a few steps and walking through the kitchen door. She looked behind her as if to check on him, smiling. "Thank you again for today. It was nice to talk to someone outside work for a change. Don't forget to say hello again sometime, kay? Let's not be strangers."

She said this before walking again, of course, heading to a coat rack near the front door of the bakery and putting on the red rain jacket, worried for rain to come. A deep sigh escaped her lips as she did the zipper. "Now to go to the memory stone..."

[Evil Tink]

[[Not at all ;D]]

Nicolai headed out right after her, "You'll be seeing quite a bit of me. I can't keep myself away once I've found such a nice little bakery." He smiled, putting his hands in his pockets then went on his way.

[Juneberry]

((Should be fine then. Should I play the bad person or would you like to?))

She headed towards the park at a brisk pace. The sun made it hard to keep straight as it blinded her slightly, but her muscle memory knew exactly how many steps to take in any given direction to get to the final spot. When she got to the park, she found the meadow at the far end of it, walking towards a lake. Crossing a bridge into an island of sorts that sat in the middle, she knelt quietly next to a tall boulder, which had paint on it that stated words from memory. She read them aloud quietly.

"Fiona Kitski. Much loved mother, daughter and sister..." She sighed, adding, "You're missed. You'll always be missed. Mom...Are you still watching me? The flowers... They're blooming just like that day. Do they make you smile like they always used to? These cherry and plum blossoms that grow in this meadow...You really did cherish them, didn't you?"

[Evil Tink]

[[You can o3o]]

Nicolai walked along slowly, Hmm..I wonder what I shall do today...I dont feel like doing the usual. After a moment, he decided he would just walk aimless around until he decided on something.

[Juneberry]

((I need ideas as to how to bring the bad guy in then xD))

[Evil Tink]

[[I unno what else to post so its gunna be mega-lame]]

Nicolai sighed as he entered his apartment on 19th street. He pulled his vest off, hanging it up on the peg just on the inside wall by the door. He then decided to just crash. While he didn't need sleep like humans, a vampire still require some at least every other week. With another sigh, he flopped onto the couch, leaning back and closing his eyes as he fell into a light sleep.

[Juneberry]

On her way home, she was wary. She'd finished praying for her mother. She didn't have anything to do. However, the alarm bell in her head was ringing. She got near the apartment building, due to it being near the bookstore, as she'd decided to take a stop by there. However, a man who had been anywhere she'd been wrapped his arms around her neck. She couldn't shake him off, and began to scream to let go. Others in the area backed away, and some tried to call the police- however, a gun was noticeable in her pocket. His grip was tight, and she couldn't move, but she screamed as loud as she could. However, his eyes were filled with something she couldn't place, and it made her far more frightened than she could remember.

((Sorry if it sorta kinda stinks))

[Evil Tink]

[[Aw i like it o3o]]

Nicolai was jolted awake as a tremor of shock went through him. This is what I get for linking to other people's minds. Gah. He stood, quickly assessing who it was. Chloe..dammit.. He quickly stretched, then noticed how close to his location she really was. What was she doing on this side of town anyway?

With a slight growl, he suddenly appeared a few feet behind the man holding Chloe, "You know, some people really don't like to be just yanked off the streets."

[Juneberry]

((I have decided who to base him off of so now I actually can give him a personality. Gasp.))

The man, surprised, shoved Chloe out of the way, causing her to fall from the strength of his sudden push. Those around stared in fear, Chloe struggling to her feet.

"You know, some people really don't like to have their business tainted with your opinion," The man responded harshly. The venom in his voice was also in his eyes, which glared at him with a tainted glance.

Chloe looked at them, shaking slightly as she managed to wipe off her skirt. "What do you want with me?" She looked at the stranger, whose dark hair was abnormally black, likely dyed.

"You're rather well known, you know, girlie. Ya need money, I can provide it. You just provide some...service."

"I have a job, thank you." She replied with a huff. He grinned devilishly, and she simply took a step back. However, knowing the man was behind him, the stranger didn't actually take more than a step closer.

[Evil Tink]

Nicolai frowned, his hands in his pockets, "Don't tempt my wrath boy. I am in no mood to deal with you." He stepped around the man to put himself between the man and Chloe, "Now, why don't you just skitter off before I break something of yours." He let out a sigh, rather annoyed, but of course, not with Chloe. Humans were so obnoxious sometimes.

[Juneberry]

The man took a step back. Somehow, he had the sense that Nicolai could be a dangerous person to anger any longer- and, behind Nicolai, Chloe was getting the same sense. The man growled and noticed a car coming towards him, causing him to gruffly enter it. Chloe tugged on Nicolai's shirt, too timid to actually touch him more than that. "H-How did you..." She wanted to know how he'd figured out to get there. However, the words couldn't escape her. "Why..."

[Evil Tink]

Nicolai would not let him get away scott free, of course. With a bored sigh, he used a touch of telekinesis to break the man's leg after he scurried into the car. He turned, feeling Chloe tug on his shirt. He gave her a slightly confused look, "You're quite loud to someone whose apartment is on the third floor of that building." He pointed to the nearby apartment complex. "As to why, whether I had never met you or not, I still can't sit idly by when something like that is about to happen. Are you alright?" He gently placed his hand on her shoulder, giving her a quick once over, "No physical damage..that's good." He could still tell she was a bit panicky. "Chloe, please settle down..." He gently pulled her into a light hug, "It's alright, just relax."

[[Must..go..to..bed..x.x
But..I..cant..x.x]]

[Juneberry]

((Did you get enough sleep since you posted? :3))

"No one else came when they could hear me," Chloe noted. Her breathing was a tad faster than normal, as though she'd just been running, but besides that and her rapid heart-rate, she seemed to be fairly conscious of her anxiety and managing to control it. She looked upward towards the apartment complex. "I never noticed...There were apartments near the bookstore..." She let out a deep sigh, still slightly clutching the cloth of his shirt to keep calm, but less panicked as she had been. "I'm sorry...For the trouble..."

[Evil Tink]

"Because humans are idiots, for the most part. There are the occasional few, like yourself, who have intelligence. And really, it was no trouble. Just try to relax alright?" He smiled warmly, leading her to the apartment complex's main door, but he paused outside it, "Unless you'd rather I take you to your apartment?"

[Juneberry]

She'd have laughed at his earlier sentiment if she could keep from choking on her own breath from trying to calm down at the same time. Rubbing her eyes slightly as a way to keep any water from coming out of them, she clung onto his shirt, gripping it tightly. "I...Can't go home right now."

[Evil Tink]

He frowned, lifting her off the ground. His left arm was under her legs, and his right supported her back as he carried her up to his apartment. He gently set her down on the couch, sitting next to her. He was concerned at the fact that she was unable to settle down.
