Although Arigoth had been in these woods once before, he still found it easy to get lost. Not that it bothered him much, he was often alone, most of the times, that is before he came to live with Hua and the others.
His every step made the slightest sound as he was creeping pass each twisted dark tree. The crimson red and ocean blue eyes scanned the area for anything else that was living. A rodent would be just perfect for a snack. His vision made it harder to hunt as the blue eye was that of a normal human, and it seemed darker compared to the red, that could focus on any little thing, even a tiny bug. Which he found were treats for his bat half.
The pointed ears that rested on his head twitched with every other sound he could hear. The cawing of ravens and the scurrying of many different insects. Until he heard a sound that was familiar but currently different from a bird or bug. Slowly creeping up behind a tree he lowered himself to the earth and slowly peeked out from behind the base of the tree.
What he seen was a small white mouse unknowing it was being watched as it was chewing on a small pine cone. A smile spread across the half vampires face baring his canines as he stood himself up and took a few steps back and out form behind the tree. Visible for the mouse to see but it was too late. He lunged himself in the air and landed on the small vermin. His hands cupped over it as his body skidded to a stop in the dirt. Lifting the mouse by it's tail he seemed to look so evil with that wicked smile and snickering as he held it up to his face. Watching it squirm and scream.
"Today, I have blood."

Elena was walking around in her school uniform yet she wasn’t sure why she was wearing it she just was. Maybe for the reason her shoes didn’t make a lot of sound like all her other ones did.
She scanned the area and took in a deep breath relaxing… she thought she had heard something but was nothing. She walked forward again smiling taking in her surroundings as the tiny bit of hair down her face curled. She eyed it and frowned glaring at the strand of hair.
She was about to pull it away when she heard something… it was faint but enough to catch her attention. She looked in the direction and clam face yet also a little frightened as she headed towards it… whatever it was the scream didn’t sound human. 'Probably a bird killing something' she thought but went to take a look anyway as she got closer trying hard not to break a twig her hand brushed against a tree as she leaned on it moving around another poking her head around the corner.

Ari stood there while having the mouse dangle from it's tail before him. He lifted the poor rodent up and tilted his head back. Opening his mouth and bringing the mouse down towards his sharp teeth and then pulling it back. He did this a few times, each time the mouse neared it's doom it would screech louder. Which only made Arigoth chuckle. His attention was only focused on the mouse that he found so entertaining to tease that he hadn't noticed anyone watching him.
Like a child he brought his hand around in the air, the mouse, having no choice was dragged around with each movement. "How does it feel to fly?" He asked it while then stopping his hand before his face once again. "You're lucky... I can't fly at all... but then again, I'm not that one about to become someone's snack." The immature half breed then brought the mouse to his open mouth once again, although this time the small mouse stuck out it's tiny hands and clutched onto Ari's top lip.
As the mouse did this, it bit into his lip in defense. Leaving Ari to have his eye twitch and then try to pull the mouse away. "Gah! Blasted vile creature!!" He yelled his accent fully noticeable as he continued to tug at the mouse's tail, which did no good as it only bit harder.

Elena noticed what seemed like a famiular figure though she wasn’t sure. She let her hand rest on the tree as she watched tilting her head and bit her bottom lip so she wouldn’t laugh. It was like watching a cat play with a mouse. Though rather different.
She noticed what the mouse did and she slightly giggled and spoke “Do you want some help there?” she asked… she hadn’t seen Arigoth’s face completely only the side. She could tell already this person was not human… yet his scent was famiular so she was trying to place it.
She folded her arms and took a step forward trying to see his face “hmm…” she smirked slightly “I’m here…” she said in case he hadn’t noticed her.

His ears twitched catching the giggle and then the voice following after it. Quickly turning so his back was to this person as he then managed to pry the mouse's jaw open with his other free hand. The fluffy white mouse went back to squeaking but not as loud as before. Wiping the blood from the top of his lip and then licking it up off his hand. "Nah, it's allright" He managed to say before turning around to face the one who offered help.
Although he wasn't looking directly at them at first as he had dusted himself off with the one free hand and the other was held out a little aways from him, still holding the mouse by it's tail. Seeing the feet in his view he looked up and then blushed a little ***Ack, a girl!*** He only thought this in his mind as he instantly blushed in embarrassment, as he then paused and realized who exactly this girl was. "Elena?"

Elena tried not to giggle again at him and smiled then looked at his face as he said her name kind of puzzled until she saw those eyes she had seen before but so long ago, yet she remembered who they belonged to the moment she noticed them.
“Yea…” she said holding her hands behind her back and nodded, her voice was softer and calmer then it normally was “I must say I never expected the person to be playing with their food… to be you… hehe. How is life Arigoth?”
She noticed the mouse and watched it then looked to him again “Am will your lip be ok? Oh… I can turn around if you don’t want me to watch you eat if you want.” She said knowing some people got edgy when she watched them eat… like her brother.

Arigoth nodded his head and smiled. "My life? It is starting to become more eventful each day." He let out a small laugh and then looked to the mouse and back to Elena. "Yeah, my lip will heal, doesn't take that long for a pain like this to go away." He said it like he was trying to impress her but it almost seemed possible, already being seen like an idiot and also playing with his... food.
When she asked if he would like her to turn around so he could eat the mouse he seemed kind of dumbfounded, not knowing what to say, it wasn't that her idea or presence was bad or anything, but it was just harder for him to eat anything living when he knew someone was around, even if they were polite and not gawking. Sighing not knowing what to say he became a little more relaxed, in doing so his grip loosened on the mouse's tail and it slid out of his grasp and dropped to the ground.
The mouse seeing its chance flipped its self chance to escape and scurried towards a hallow in a dying tree. Arigoth looked to his hand and then looked around to see it was gone, but the contrast of the mouse's white fur against the black tree caught his eye and he watched it vanish into the hole. "Curse you cousin!" He yelled while turning himself to point a finger at the tree. Calling it a cousin was half right as he could turn into a type of a rodent, unwillingly that is, but it probably didn't make sense for anyone else to hear if they did not know about that half of him.

Elena smiled slightly… she was glad to hear he was doing ok “Well at least you can stand the pain…” she shook her head “I wouldn’t be able too… tears would be down my face.”
She noticed the mouse scurry away and she couldn’t help but slightly frown and looked up to him blinking then pulled a puzzled face as he cursed at the tree. She bit her lip trying to be polite and not laugh but she couldn’t stop herself as she cracked out laughing seeing him pointing to the tree and all… to her it was slightly funny.
“I’m sorry.” She said stopping slightly pink in the cheeks and folded her arms looking away so she wouldn’t laugh again. “Am… so” she swallowed and looked back to him “How exciting and eventful is your life becoming... that is if you want to tell me, you don’t have to… I understand if you don’t want to.” She said clapping her hands and then folded them behind herself again.

Letting his arm drop to his side and thinking about it he could take alot of pain, sure.. sometimes he would cry, he'd admit in his mind, but he'd still get back up or continue to do what he was doing before. He then turned his head towards her to see her and her laughter. Arigoth instead of feeling embarrassed this time he only smiled.
"Well, I am now living with a friend of mine I met, Instead of wandering around aimlessly I now have a home. And recently I just got my own bedroom. And I've met some new people, although I don't think one likes me, and one likes me... well using me... which is kind of scary." Arigoth just blurted this all out instantly and rather quickly like a child explaining about a trip to a carnival. Noticing his Actions he then let out a cough and smiled lightly.
"How has your life been for you?" He asked, finding it polite that it wasn't just fair talking about his own and truly wanting to know how his friend has been doing that he met long ago.

Elena smiled “Wow busy… wait one is using you… want me to go sort them out… hehe I am good at that stuff… sort of in my nature…” she said mumbling the last little bit then perked up “But hey if you ever want to get away just come over to my place… doors always open… well not like open open… you get me, don’t you?” she rubbed the back of her neck telling herself to shut up, smiling slightly.
She folded her arms and took in a deep breath making it seem like she was about to give a big speak. “My life… am…” she bit her bottom lip trying to think of everything “Well… hmm.” She put a hand to her chin thinking and then nodded “Yep that’s about it… nah im joking my life has been ok. Have to go to school… that sucks like heaps… the building section I have to go to is below the day school… so we ‘dark creatures’ don’t attack the living… but our part is way cooler then theirs.” She said sounding like a teenager and smiled “Am oh yea Fahd… the panther, is doing ok… most likely looking for a bird to play with… he also plays with his food.” She smiled “and I do sometimes also. Am let me think apart from school work and trying to relax I have been wandering around… oh yea that’s right… I went to a witch convention the other day they had some nice stuff there, I got myself some herbs and a cool necklace, it is suppose to protect you from your enemas… I have yet to try it… gee listen to me I keep on going… do you want to go for a walk?” she asked

Arigoth only put on a crooked smile and tilted his head a little giving out a small laugh to himself being compared to her panther. Although his smile seemed to straighten when she said she played with her food as well, and he was a little glad that the panther wasn't exactly around them. As he had some troubles coping with common house cats, a huge 'wild' cat would scare him some.
"School?" He sounded confused and then nodded about the idea for a walk. "Sure why not." He started to walk a little aways and then stopped to await Elena to join his side. Thinking to himself how he could have forgotten all about school, seeing how the last time he was in one, was when he was just a child and still living with his mother and father.....

Elena quickly walked over to him “Yea school… where teachers yell at you, you get heaps of homework, girls have cats fights, guys have punch ups, people migrate into certain groups… pick on one another… school… the thing that takes over your life…” she said wide eyed and then relaxed smiling.
She looked ahead “Now I have no idea what these parts of the forest is like so like if we get lost… its not my fault.” She said giving a big grin and shook her head looking to him “So apart from the person that hates you and then the other one… how do you like the place you are staying at?”

He looked ahead and could only see darkness and dark tree's, one after the other. An endless forest of darkness and what looked like multiple dead and dying tree's. A forest of decay is what he could picture it as, but turning his attention back to Elena he smiled. "It's alright, I can smell our way back...." He paused after saying this and thought of it now as something creepy or stupid to say. Although hearing her question he quickly changed that topic. "Hmm the place I'm staying at now, well, apart from those two, I do enjoy a nice sweet breakfast usually made before I even get up, each morning."
Of course it was easy that everyone in the house he was staying now was up before him. As being a half vampire, he tended to sleep in quite late, unless someone woke him up and forced him to get up. His thoughts were drifting from one thing to another and finding it nice, but also a little awkward as he hadn't enjoyed the company of just a girl in some time. Each day he was always bickering or enjoying a conversation with guys. So it was hard for him to think of anything to say to the opposite sex, more importantly, how he should act.
Starting to get lost in his thought once again thinking about the school Elena tried to explain to him, how it changes so much from elementary schooling. Arigoth couldn't help but listen to her voice and look away to the side blushing a little as his own voice was similar to a girl's voice as well, just a little deeper, but he could easily pull off sounding like a girl himself.

“OH breakfast… I knew I forgot something this morning… that explains a lot.” She said slapping her head “So I am guessing you don’t cook in then.” Elena drifted her eyes head she normally didn’t eat human food the vampire in her was at such a great strength and influence all she normally had was blood.
“You can smell your way back… wow that’s cool… so does that work for the vampire side? Cause I hear some vampires have great sense of smell… bet that comes in handy from time to time.” She glanced over her shoulder and smiled then looked ahead again “You know I have no idea how someone could live in the same house with the same sex… I would like go nuts… my brain would explode… all those…” her voice drifted off and she had to once again tell herself to shut up. “I should have brought my camera… this is like the best spooky place ever.”

"Well I can cook... just I think everyone in that house prefers that I not try cooking. I mean I can make it look just perfect, with human food that is, whatever it may be, but for some reason, everything I make just taste terrible, I can barely stand it myself, but I made it, so I eat it anyways." He let out a laugh and then thought about the dishes he made, which he would love to describe but it may seem disgusting to her. A pie filled with buttered and salted cooked insects... Milkshakes made with the blood of an animal.... Stews of rotted animals and moths... It was his favorites, but he decided to keep that to himself.
Arigoth then nodded to the question of that ability working for his vampire side. "It has its ups and downs, I can smell food nearby, like prey, and just well someone's cooking" He laughed. "Also I can track." he added. Ari then paused at Elena asking of how he could live in a house filled with guys and then he kind of smiled while answering. "Well I've just never been really good at talking to women, and... I don't know, I guess it is different... " He didn't really know how to answer the rest and kind of just went silent.
"Heh, well I agree this place is creepy." He said this while looking down at the earth floor before lifting his head and looking to Elena with a smile. Figuring that he should try and keep eye contact and talk more to a persons face, with looking away so much he was probably looking like some rambling idiot or showing weakness. Although if any thing that could eat him lurked nearby in these woods he probably would show ALOT of his weakness. Just like... a little mouse. He sighed thinking of the mouse and how he could relate to it, feeling a little bad for teasing it so, yet it made him feel so superior at the same time.
