The Soul Within

[Tatiana Veil]

The night had fallen, and everyone who had been anticipating this time had come out to find their prey. Among those, were also Vampires known for their individual and not-so-ordinary ways. Toreadors, commonly called Degenerates (which brought an indignant huff from Tanya on more than one occasion) weren't what one could call a typical Vampire, of course if one could call a Vampire typical; spending their days in only perfectly kept mansions, distancing themselves from other of their kin, thinking of each-other more as the spiritual strength of the nocturnal creatures. Who said art was only reserved for humans and most importantly who said murder was not an art?

It was. Especially if done subtly and quietly. Tatiana wiped her mouth as few drops trickled down her chin. Odd, how few decades can completely kill pangs of guilt. She couldn't even remember the first time she had to feed herself, she didn't remember those mixed feelings toward it anymore. It became natural, a routine repeated over and over again.

Matt had looked over the whole scene of the Vampire that had hunted the human to feed, it wasn't like a real Toreador would do. Normally they just seduce their Victim and then brake their neck but there has to be an exception for every rule.
Matt kept himself hidden in the shadows and smiled at the scene, not many exceptions made such an impression on him.

"Impressive, but what would you do if it were vampires instead of human and ten instead of one?"

"I think I wouldn't get myself into such a situation in the first place" she smirked to herself, still standing with her back to the newcomer, she recognized his voice, by some reason the Prince's tone was amused and it . "We stay out of trouble. If that's possible of course" she turned around and actually smiled, perhaps a bit sardonically as though she was sneering more at herself than anyone else. "Apparently we're just too precious to the Vampiric society to just vanish. But speaking of precious things...What are you doing here, in this...neglected I daresay... part of the town, my Prince?"
She accented the 'prince part' and did kind of a mock bow. Insolent was her attitude, but that was just the way she acted around people that stood higher in the hierarchy.

[Matt Shade]

"Why I am here is only my concern, and please, use my real name. I'm not in my Princly position right now and you know my name so you can just as good use it Tatiana."

He smiled when she accented the Prince and bowed in a mocking way. There were but a few that dared to act freely around the Prince and even fewer that got away with it. He accepted what Tatiana was doing because he liked her, she wasn't like the rest of those other bloodsuckers. They all just wanted to be honored and respected because they had "respect" from him by kissing his ass. In reality he was just using them to form a better world for his kind.

"As you wish, Matt" she said, smiling. "A day off I see?"
Her carefree attitude towards the Prince was often frowned upon and seen as lack of manners. Hardly. Perhaps Tanya could be insufferably insolent at times, but she was far from being dis-respectful towards the Prince.

In fact he was one of the very few vampires she held deep respect for, a respect that wasn't created by fear or desire for honours and prerogatives that came from sweet talking powerful ones. And she instinctively knew that he preferred that sort of respect, it wasn't false and he was wise enough to appreciate it. And above all other things Tatiana simply liked him. Perhaps it was only because of her infamous capricious nature but she did.
