Danielle walked into The Sinister Puppet wearing a black dress. She heard that this was where she could find the Tarepha, especially the leader, Euthalia. She was wearing a black sleeveless dress with the zipper down the front.

As she walked in to the refurbished warehouse she was met by the dark music, which she didn't like very much, since she preferred classical music. She was surprised by the amount of goth and wannabe vampires that were dancing there. She pushed past these wretched little worms to the bar.

"What can I get ya?" He asked looking at her. The man definitely dressed the part in this club.

"Nothing, I'm just enjoying the view." Danielle said turning around and looking around the warehouse. She felt the presence of a few vampires mingling with mortals. She wanted to feed, but not at the moment. She felt a pair of eyes watching her.

Sergei noticed the black dressed vampire made her way into “The Sinister Puppet”. His menacing eyes pierced through his messy red bangs as he sat in solitude. He never mingled in the crowd, how dare he mingle with a mortal. He sat with his back slouched down and in front of him was a glass of blood. He gulped the rest of his beverage as a bit of it made it’s way down the sides of his face. He rubbed his hand across his face wiping the blood from his face like a child with no manners. The bar keep spoke to her and she answered him.

What could she possibly be enjoying by this view? He thought as his lip curled at the site of the foolish mortals that came to the club. So much prey but we cannot slaughter the human folk. Or you could but you would have to face the consequences from our mighty leader.

Sergei stood up from his bar stool and made his way to the woman. He knew she was a vampire, he stepped up beside her quietly and whispered into her ear with a unforgiving hiss to his voice.

“Tell me flower, what is it you enjoy by this sight?” Sergei whispered.

He maneuvered around her oddly looking her up and down with a face that could not possibly show an emotion of happiness. He stopped and leaned in close to her face, so that she could only see his demonic smile and his double fangs and with a wink, his face almost immediately fell back to its torn expression.

Danielle sneered showing her own fangs, they weren't double like the Tarepha. She looked at that demonic smile and seemed to find something quite intriguing in it. She let the vampire's words carress her like a blanket. "What I enjoy is seeing this much cattle in this wonderful club." She replied quietly, she looked a glass of dead blood and looked disgusted at it. "I can't stand dead blood." She said curtly looking at the vampire.

She was reading each of those mortals minds and wondering which one would taste the best. "Telepathy's a wonderful gift." Danielle leaned against the bar. "I love just looking into others' minds so then I can make them squirm." Her sneer became a kind of lunatic grin. "Feeding to me is an art, just like playing the violin." She let the thrum of all the mortals' hearts act as a metronome to the music playing in her head.

Sergei raised his eyebrows intrigued at what she has said.

“An art…yes perhaps. I find feeding a true moment of bliss the rush of the kill is what I like. I love the look in the mortals eyes as my fangs penetrate their virgin necks. Or the way the wriggle when I sink my claws into there skin and split the sea of flesh.” Sergei spoke.

Sergei stared off for a moment twisting his hair in his hands oddly. In his eyes he looked empty, like he was lost. His face brightened up and he turned back to her and spoke like an excited teenager who just got laid for the first time.

“Do you know what I love to do?” Sergei said.

Sergei covers his mouth and chuckles like a fat kid who just got a piece of chocolate cake.

“ My favorite treat out of all things possible, is going to the maternity ward where the keep the newborn children.” Sergei spoke with a sickening twinkle in his eyes.

“Than I steal the babies and kill them and feast on a child of a mother who will never see her son or daughter again.” Sergei said and than twisted his hair clearly looking like he has lost his mind.

“I’ll tear the screaming baby limb from limb and feast on the blood. I’m killing something that’s so good and pure. Call it a hobby, a very sick one. Than just think of the parents. Oh, that’s the best part. I just ruined their worlds. Can you imagine the emotional pain of just having a baby, part of you that just came into the world. All their plans for their child. Like taking them to school on their first day. Helping them grow and deal with their problems. Seeing them graduate and go onto to be a success and I take that from them. Warms my gray heart to do so.” Sergei spoke with out a single emotion in his face.

“Oh, where are my manners?” Sergei spoke. Manners? After what he just said.

“ I am Sergei Timofei Konstantinov” Sergei spoke.”What shall I call you and what brings you to The Sinister Puppet?”

Sergei gazed deep into her eyes, searching her out.

Danielle grinned as Sergei explained his naughty little habit. "The name's Danielle Seras. It's very nice to meet you." She giggled like a school girl. "I never thought about that!" She grin warped more into a maniacal one. "I should try that one of these nights!" She leaned against the countertop of the bar. "I love to see mortals suffer. It makes me so happy!" She laughed now, "What is my business here? Well I was here to see the leader of your coven, but I found someone that appealed to me a little more than her."

Sergei listened to her as she smiled and told him her business at "The Sinister Puppet". She was seemingly innocent, but her viciousness clashed well with it. Danielle had caught his curiousity.

"Not many have thought about something like that, not many could probably bare to see a newborn baby boy with his eye's torn from his small fragile head." Sergei spoke with a bit of a giggle at the end.

Sergei held out his arm and curled it as if to offer her to take his arm.

"I could tell when you entered,you're not to pleased with the music you hear are you Danielle Seras" Sergei spoke, even though it sounded like a gentleman theirs still a bit of wickedness in his voice. "What do you say, care for a night out? Maybe explain your business with Miss Akakios my leader?"

Sergei stood holding his arm out, awaiting her response.

"Maybe find a bite to eat?" Sergei spoke with a demonic smirk painted from ear to ear. He wanted to get to know her more and see what she was like but being in a public area like this wasn't exactly the place to continue their discussion in his opinion. Just for the off chance that a human might possibly hear their conversation.

Danielle returned Sergei's grin. She was relieved that they were going to get away from the dreadful music. "I would be absolutely delighted to grab a bite to eat with you." She said taking Sergei's arm. She laughed and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Where will we have our fun?" She asked looking up at him. "I'm quite hungry, and all these people made it much more evident to me." Danielle was attracted to this vampire who shared her viciousness. She looked at her watch, and smiled. "There might be time to find some people in the park." Her grin grew larger as she imagined the couples walking through the park. Maybe they'd be lucky enough to find a mother and child. She licked her lips in anticipation. She didn't speak about her business with the coven's leader until they were a good distance from the club. "I was going to talk to Miss Akakios about possibly joining your coven. I've researched a lot of the covens and found yours to be much to my liking."

Sergei listened to Danielle talk as they made there way out of the club. He listened attentively to her each word searching her personality with each word she said and the volume and the way her words rolled off her lips. Sergei was glad to hear that she was looking to join their coven. He felt it was somewhat his job to ask her that question. He's loyal to his coven and anyone that wants anything to do with Euthalia, Sergei wanted to know what the intents were.

People in the park thats beautiful. Sergei thought to himself. The young couples walking together as love blossomed in the air. Oh, I'd love to rip their hearts out and show their lover the heart. It's utterly fascinating the response you get from a human when their afraid. The look in their eyes is priceless. They look as if they were a lost puppy out in a thunderstorm just trying to find their way home. That's the thrill of it all, the look in their eyes, especially when they see their own blood. The last moments of life spent in complete fear, the hopelessness they must feel is undescribable by words. But, the park wasn't where he wanted to go tonight, he wanted different prey. He wanted to test Danielle to see just how vicious she was. Sergei wants a parent of some sort and a child.

"The park does sound nice, but I think we'd find more fun in the city itself." Sergei spoke. "I think we'll find the best feeding wondering the alleys, theirs so many possibilities of what sort of human we'll come acrossed. We could find a homeless person down on their luck just striving to hold on to their life and cut them down. Or perhaps a homeless child starving eating food from the dumpsters. They truly understand how precious life is, not the folks that are rich and live in fancy houses. These types of people will eat food straight from garbage cans just to stay alive. They want to live, they have so little to live for but for some reason they keep trying to live"

Sergei looked down at Danielle with her head lying against his shoulder.

"Or just maybe we can find a teenager who just got off work from their petty jobs. That have everything in life going their way. Their children life is pure than for most, and they are so much funner to terrify. Than the schools they attended would hold ceremonies in rememberance of that child as their hearts break into two at the loss of their childhood friend." Sergei spoke coldly.

Sergei grinned as the two walked in the white light of the moon.

Danielle smiled as she listened to Sergei. He definitely had the right idea. "Lead the way." She said letting her fangs scrape against his neck playfully. This one definitely gained her interest. With that she followed him into the cold night looking for the perfect prey. The higher their hopes, the bigger the fall. Danielle licked her lips in anticipation as they headed for the alleys.
