Fire && Ice [ARO]

[alex samuels]

Alex was unable to sleep. She'd been this way for the past two hours, when lights out had first started. Demonte was probably sleeping like a rock in his room, and yet, here she was, completely restless. She could feel something... well, she didn't know. But something in New York, didn't feel right. And it was making her insane. With a self-disgusted sound, she shoved the green and brown plaid comforter away from her and jumped out of bed, then went over to her closet and quietly opened the doors. Once she was dressed, she slipped out her window, and crawled down the drain pipe, until she found her feet planted firmly on the ground.

She always closed her eyes when she did this, because of her fear of being up so many floors, and having to climb all the way down on a slinky little pipe that could break any minute, concluding to her death. Okay, that was a bit extreme, but hey, what could you do? She was a sophomore. And besides, she couldn't risk going through the house to leave, and waking up Demonte, and even if she made it, the night guard would catch her, and then she'd be screwed. Alex flipped the hood of her sweatshirt up onto her head, and jogged away from the apartments, heading for Central Park. It was warm out, despite the slight breeze that caused her hair to dance about her shoulders where it lay, so her wearing shorts was no big deal at all.

Alex took out her cell phone from inside her old converse, old being an understatement, and began texting one of her friends from school. Noticing the time on her phone for the first time as she closed out of texting, she grimaced. It was about midnight; none of her friends were awake. With a sigh, she put the phone back in her shoe, and shoved her hands in the pockets of the maroon sweatshirt that had the words FREE HUGS spreading across both sides. As she walked, she got the strangest feeling that she was being watched, and just in case, was ready to barbeque whoever it was. Something moved closeby, and out of instinct she conjured a fireball in her palm, ready to protect herself if needed.

Aro ordered his guard to stay behind as he prowled the park, again. He was fully aware that he could be killed by an ambush, but he knew that it would not happen. Far too many were afraid of him. He straightened his frame, and began to move almost silently through the park, until he came across a scent, a terribly intoxicating scent.

He stayed silent and watched from behind the tree, until he made a slight step forward, and snapped a twig. She looked around, and did something that Aro had only heard of people having been possible, she procured fire from her hand.

"Most impressive," He said, stepping out of the shadows, and polite smile on his face.

Alex jumped back a bit when the creepy looking man stepped out from behind the tree. His smile was creepy, too, which only made her more cautious of him than she already was. She could tell he wasn't human, though. He was far too pale, and his eyes were far too red. They were red like Max's... red like Callie's had become. But she had let it slide from her mind with Callie because she was like her sister. And no matter what, she loved her. Even if she was extremely terrified of... those things.

Shaking herself back to the now, she glared at the pale man before her and raised the fireball so she could easily burn him in a second if she simply flinched. "Who are you, what do you want? And I wouldn't come any closer if I were you. I swear to god i'll barbeque your ass." And she would. She didn't trust him. She hardly trusted anyone anymore. She'd nearly killed the neighbor's cat the other day because it scared the crap out of her, too, but that had nothing to do with it. That only made it clear that she was extremely paranoid. And she had no idea why.

Aro smiled slightly at the witch.

"It is quite allright, young one," he said, raising his arms slightly in the air, showing that he was no real threat to her, which in reality, he was. He could have rushed upon her in a moment, and drain her dry, but he would not. She was far too interesting to waste as a meal. Plus, something about this girl was truly scared, and for one reason or another, Aro did not want to frighten her much more. True, Aro was not known to be so...I guess you could say caring, but as of lately, Aro had been loosing interest in anything and everything. That is why they had left Volterra, he refused to eat if his humans were brought to him now, he needed something else out of life, or well, whatever vampires did, because obviously, they were not alive, but that is beside the point. His mind was racing as his face still showed a friendly calm smile. This is what he now needed.

"I am Aro, and as I can see what you are, have you any idea of what I am my dear?"
