Ariella dozed in the back of the Broken Strings. Her wings were hidden behind a large, dark cloak. She didn't want people to see what she was. It caused a lot of commotion for an Angel to be in such a place. But she wasn't a full angel. Her father had been human and her mother had been an angel. This made her a half-celestial. Her dark brown eyes opened as she sensed something coming in. A breeze ruffled her brown hair as a man walked into the tavern. She could feel something was different about him. It peeked her curiosity. She straightened up and watched the dark figure. She smiled warmly and hoped he came over to her. She really could use a good conversation.

Rowen walks into the large tavern. He looks around and feels a warm aura that a attracted him for some reason. He walks and sits next to her then orders a glass of blood the tender looks at him strangely and gives him the glass of blood takes a few sips and says not really looking at her .” you are different then the others here they cant see it but I can because I am different to.” He then stretches his large bat like wings many people looked to him uncomfortably. People here aren’t to accepting but they will not mess with an immortal he then takes a long drink from his glass of blood. “I am Rowen and you are.” Extending his long deathly pale hand for her to shake.

She was delighted that he had decided to talk to her. "Yes I am different as well. But I much rather see it as being unique." She grasped his hand firmly and shook it. "I am Ariella Lucina. It is a pleasure, Rowen." His hand was cold but that didn't bother her. He was obviously a vampire since he ordered blood. She thought she could even see a hint of fangs. She thought about how disappointed her parents would be if they saw her talking to the kind of people they had once fought against. But they were both gone now. Her mother was somewhere in heaven, serving the great god. And her father had died while in battle. Neither life would she follow. She would live a happy lilfe somewhere far from the eyes of judgement.

Rowen fells holy warmth in her hand shake.” Unique different same thing people still treat you different.” He finished his glass.” Once people know you are no longer a person you are dangerous.” He looked at the people starring at him he flashes his fangs to them and they all look away. Remembering what they did to him in his last tow why he had to leave he looks at her then out the window to the night sky.” What a beautiful night it is. He then looks to the bartender and waves him over.” Can I have some of your finest red wine.” The bar tender nods and pores him a glass. He looks to her. “So what brings some one like you here?

She signaled for the bartender to pour her some as well. The behavior of Rowen was astounding. He didn't seem to be afraid to show who and what he was. "I just want to find a place where I can disappear into the crowd. More or less, I just want to escape my past. What about you?" She raised her glass and nodded at him. Taking a deep drink, her dark eyes flashed with amusement. He seemed to have a dark secret, but didn't everyone? Perhaps the night would be an entertaining one afterall.

Rowen takes a deep drink from his glass.” Me I am not ashamed of what I am I have embraced the darkness as a way of life weather people want to accept it is not my problem. I think that you shouldn’t be pushed into being one of them because you aren’t you is better you are an immortal we are gods compared to these rats. But that might be me.” The man that was next to him go up and moved.” people should love you, you heal you can do good but me all hate me and immortal of death trained in the arts of moving thou shadows killing without being seen.” Taking another sip from his glass.” What is your story why do you want to be like them?” Growling at the man starring at him.” Thos people disgust me

"I was brought up this way. My father was a mere human and my mother was an angel. She was one of such beauty. But they have both left me. My father was murdered and my mother has abandoned me for the higher realm." She hung her head low. "I don't want to be afraid to be myself. I wish to embrace my abilities just as you have done." She drank the rest of the wine in her glass and slammed it down. People all across the room turned to look at the odd couple. Rowen was giving her strength and for once she felt like it didn't matter what people thought of her. She threw off her cloak and spread her large, white wings. People gasped and stared at the brillance of them. "I won't be afraid anymore!"

Rowen looks over at her wings and thinks she might be a bit drunk.” That’s good there is nothing to be ashamed of.” he then stands up and stretches his wings and arms agene.” I think it is a perfect night to go out on a flight.” He then looks around the bar one more time now the whole bar was looking there way. He then started to chant in some other language. His eye then turns this black with a green glow his head leaned back and he lifted into the air the place emptied. He laughed then said “thank you tender for not minding me doling this every once and a wile.” he turned the girl.” it is just levitation

Ariella didn't know much about vampires and this intrigued her. She giggled and watched as everyone left the tavern. "Now how is a bartender supposed to live a decent life when you run away his customers?" She winked to show she was joking. "I think I could deal with a flight. Maybe you could show me around?" She felt alive and ready to do something dangerous. Her old life style just didn't suit her ever since her parents had practically abandoned her. Rowen had that bad boy attitude and that was just the thing she was attracted to. She hoped they could become friends and maybe he'd even teach her a few things about being evil. Trying not to get too excited, she walked out of the tavern and waited in the silent night for him to join her.

Rowen looked at her with one eyebrow lifted.” Ok lets my lady I will show you around if you don’t have a place to stay I can offer you room in my house.” He then walked out of the door looking around.” what a night.” he says looking to the moon. He then crouched and jumped into the air flapping his mighty wings and stays there. He looks around the place to see if anything interesting was happing bar fights the fun stuff then he looks down.” Come join me in the night sky immortal of life and immortal of death flying as one.” He smiled and looked at her into her almost.” We shall have fun tonight.”

Ariella felt giddy as she flew up beside the night creature. "You are quite a piece of work. And a very interesting one at that..." She grinned at him. "Let's go wreak some havoc." If her mother were looking upon her, she'd be very upset. Well let her be upset! She abandoned me! Conflict was heavy in Ariella's mind. She was fighting a battle between the human and angel inside of her. She held emotions from her father and judgment from her mother. She was an absolute mess. If someone didn't straighten her out soon, she'd fall to the dark side as so many before her had done. Her white wings beat at the air as she hovered above the tavern. Tonight would be one to remember.

Rowen smiled at her “thank you I think but let’s go have some fun tonight.” He then flies off and sees a place that they can cause some trouble he looks back at her “fallow my lead.” He then lands and grabs her hands.” here we go Ariella.” He closes his eyes and they melt into the floor and come out of a shadow in the corner then he walks forward and starts to levitate and floats forward “ heaven and hell have come here for you all you will all suffer.” He shouts in a deep dark voice then looks back to her to do something of the same

Long tendrils of brown hair curled in the wind as she flapped her powerful wings in rhythm with Rowen's. When they landed, he took her hands and they melted into the shadows. It was an odd sensation as if her stomach had fallen to the floor. They stood in the bright candle light of a different tavern. She squealed with delight as he spoke ominous words. He was obviously waiting for her to say or do something. She stepped up beside him and beat her wings furiously. "Tonight you will beg for death as we torture your very souls." Her eyes shimmered with speckles of yellow. Her whole body was tingling with a powerful force. She wanted to feel dark, sticky blood upon her hands. She wanted to feast upon the innocent and hear them scream for mercy. She withdrew her Katana and swung at a nearby table full of people. Breaking it in two, she smiled wickedly. The people ran screaming. "Now this is the life", she whispered to Rowen.

Rowen looked as the place emptied and he landed and looked at her “wow that was dark “ he smiled at her .” you are right this is the life this is how you can live with the mortals fearing us .” he then walked up to her got close to her as if to kiss her then he says “ that was great.” Then he smiles at her and flies around the room laughing.” aren’t you going to fallow me or are you a bit slow.” Smiling at her playfully. She is a lot of fun I wonder how long till morning how long we can have fun like this

She was disappointed that everyone had fled so fast. She had a need to fulfill an imaginary hole in her heart. She had been forced to flee from the life she'd only known for nothing. The people who had murdered her father were searching for her because only she could prove who had done it. Her father had been a very rich and successful man. It was how he'd met her angelic mother. People had called her birth an abomination. A mortal and a celestial were never supposed to create a child. Her mother had told her that she had to full-fill her destiny by going back to the higher planes, but Ariella knew in her heart that her mother had just abandoned her. Then her father had been killed. She had no one and somehow instilling fear into people helped her feel invincible. "I am ready to do whatever your little mind can think up." She flew up beside him and tapped his wings playfully against her own.

Rowen looked at her “little is It.” he said with a laugh.” Yea probably.” Then eh flies out of the door and to the shy.” You are great fun.” He says smiling. He then started to fly over the city agene. He sees a worrier that he knew to do evil deeds even t his standards .” you wish to kill then here we are this man does evil like no other you can kill him and be doing good but still getting your hands bloody” he smiles at the thought of blood fresh from the body. He looks at her and waits for her to answer him

Ariella glanced down at the man he was speaking of. "Well I supposed then I would be doing a good thing." She pulled out her katana and soared downwards. She landed directly in front of the man. "A little birdy told me you have been doing bad. That's no good now is it?" She smiled wickedly. She wasn't much of a fighter but it seemed as if the man were unarmed. She swung at him with the sword and he dodged the blow. He laughed and it startled her. "You are a fool! I have murdered many before you and you think you can kill me alone? Why you are a virgin to murder!" He withdrew a long sword from no where it seemed and thrust it at her. She had barely moved out of the way as it sliced past her leg, giving her a cut. She called out to Rowen for help.

Rowen flies down behind him and pokes him in the back” you really shouldn’t try and hurt my friends.” He holds out his hand and a scythe materializes in his hand.” the man stabs at him and Rowen words it with the blade of the scythe.” You really shouldn’t try and hit me.” Rowen then makes his scythe disappear and grabs the mans large arm and then breaks it like a twig with a twist of rowans hand then steps on the side of the guys leg and the leg breaks. The man screams and Rowen just roars at him “I told you not to strike my beautiful friend there.” Then he whispers in his ear if she wasn’t here id suck you dry”

She watched silently as Rowen took care of the problem. She had crouched down to look at the small cut the man had given her. She knew she needed to wipe the blood away before Rowen smelled it. Her father had taught her about vampires and she knew they could turn on anyone at any second as soon as the scent of blood hit their nostrils. Wiping it quickly away, she stood in awe as Rowen so calmly broke the man's arm and leg. She didn't know how she felt about his strength. He'd be able to break her in half like a twig! She nervously stepped back and glanced around to see if anyone was looking. She noticed there were a group of people starting to gather. "Rowen, it's time to leave. C'mon let's go." People were starting to point at her wings and she could feel them whispering about her. Beads of sweat began to form at her temple. She threw her cloak over her wings to hide them. Then she bounced up into the air and caught the wind. She hovered above Rowen and the man, waiting for something to happen.

Rowen looks at her she was quite worried maybe he moved a bi fast for her.” Thanks to my beautiful female friend there you live.” He jumped with here “ im sorry if I was moving fast lets just go back to my place it will be ok no one will go there we will be safe and I hope you will fell at home.” He then started to fly to his house.”Im sorry about earlier I can’t let some one treat my friends like that.” He then smiled to her .” not used to the kind of attention its ok they will be happy that we got that man for them for now the sun will be up soon and I tire” looking to her she also looked tired to him but he had never seen one of her kind so he didn’t know. He saw his house.” there it is my home.” He then lowered and landed opened the door and looked in.” home sweet home.”

She was glad to be away from the previous scene. She was also very tired. Her element was darkness and the light reminded her too much of her mother. She could sleep how ever long she wanted although she chose to sleep for only a few hours. "Yes I'm very tired." As he landed, she followed him to his house. "This is very nice. I haven't had a house since I was forced from mine after my mother disappeared." She walked in and looked around. Throwing her cloak and katana in a corner, she made herself quickly at home.

Rowen watches her as she makes herself at home and smiles.” As I said make your self at home.” He walked in and closed the door then sat on a love seat.” im sorry about your mother.” Trying to change the subject.” So you can either sleep in a room by yourself or with me.” He said with a wink. He then takes his shirt off and puts on a lighter one meant for the day time so he could sleep. And looked over at her thinking and angel in my house god im lucky and smiling at his thought he stretched out a bit and wanted for her response

"My mother? How could you know I was thinking of her unless you are telepathic?"It upset her that he had mentioned her mother. "I would rather sleep here alone please." Her voice was harsh. She laid down on the bed and rolled over to face her wall giving him the impression she didn't want to continue the subject. She sighed as a tear dropped down her cheek. She was glad he couldn't see it so he wouldn't make her talk about her mother.
