Isabella_Rastafari: *As she looked out at the hundreds of vampires that either stood or sat before her, Isabella marvelled at their willingness to help her with her plight. It showed her just how respected she was within their darkworld and she straightened her back as she fixed a cool smile to her dark lips while her ice blue gaze roamed around the room. Tapping the microphone slightly to ensure it was on, Isabella waited for the room to quieten down before she stepped up to the podium. ~My brothers and sisters... in closing I would like to extend my sincere thanks to each and every one of you who has pledged your assistance. The last few hours have given you a chance to see exactly what we are up against, but I feel the debriefing was a great success in developing some strategies which Im sure you will agree should help us to destroy our enemy once and for all.~She smiled as the room murmered in agreement. ~ First Blood Clan is the leader in Australia for all our humans pharmaceutical needs, either legal or illegal. I will not tolerate these pathetic humans thinking they can muscle their way in on my turf..~ she gestured out to the vampires before her. ~ OUR turf! With your help we shall destroy our enemy and take our rightful place as the leader of the drug industry in Australia. For that.. I thank you.~ She smiled again at the applause and stepped down lightly from the small stage. Shaking hands and smiling her thanks, a tired Isabella made her way over to the bar. The bartender had her flute of bloodwyne waiting for her, and she smiled her thanks as she leaned against the bar and sipped her drink.*
Benito_Senfetti: *He had traveled as instructed by his father in a boat with many of his other comrades on the long journey to Australia. As soon as they were in the port he had wanted to get off of the boat and now sitting here he had listened to a plight that he had no idea how much of a help he himself was going to be. He knew that his father's men were at her disposal but he was here only to monitor their uses. He had seen her before many times. Frequently in the last century on his father's business dealings had he met this Isabella…Ah even her name flowed off the tongue sweetly...He smiled just a little bit as he was never able to express how much he wanted this particular female. He had had many females from many of the clans. He had many human females who soon became a meal to him. His weakness was their flesh but this one. The one he couldn’t have was the one that he wanted the most. Whether it was now or then Benito still wore his black tailored suit and red silk undershirt. It was his personal style. He loved his expensive suits and loved the tailoring perfection that went along with them. He watched then as everyone rose from their chairs. He had missed some of it he blinked for a moment and rose from the chair his bodyguards rising with him.* Vada, abbia divertimento mentre la notte è giovane...*With that they smiled and went off. He walked about the crowd observing some of the females from opposite clans of his own. He just grinned and found himself at the bar. He found a chair and sat down at it...His mind drifted to back home where he may be fencing or reading. Instead of being in the middle of this room. Being in second place he wasn’t that amazing nor important to most other vampires. They only awaited his rising to power but they didn’t wait on his present times..*
Isabella_Rastafari: *She felt someone sit down near her at the bar, and a dark sculptered brow arched over cool blue eyes as she saw to turn who it was. ~Benito..~ she murmered, both suprised and secretly delighted to see him so close. She had met him on a few occasions, had watched him on quite a few more and watched with a certain fascination as he grew into the man who would one day be the leader of the Senfetti Clan. He was very similar to her in terms of personal traits, and his own sarcastic wit was a welcomed volly for her own humour. Allowing her gaze to flick over him cooly before she turned back to her drink she purred ~Nice to see the old man could spare you Benito..~*
Benito_Senfetti: *He sat there for a few moments before ordering a drink. He ordered wine, Not bloodwyne but rather a nice pinot noir, He savored the taste though it had no purpose in his system. He smiled as he enjoyed it as it slide down his throat. He heard a voice. The voice that he was rather fond of hearing. And for so few of times he had heard it, it was always a grace to his ears. He turned his bluish green eyes and looked at her as his eyes flashed to the ice blue they became when he was ready to feed. He smiled as he looked at her one hand on his glass as he turned. * Only because he couldn’t spare himself Isabella, I am second in line for this occasion. I guess he figured I had nothing else to do. Or else I was getting a tad bit annoying and he sent me to annoy you.*His Italian accent melded into his regal tone making his voice like toxin to most ears. His talking is what got him through a lot and his blade got him through other times. He just smiled looking her over as he awaited her answer bring his wine up to his lips before setting it down again his fingers playing along the fine crystal*
Isabella_Rastafari: *She smiled into her flute glass before lowering it and placing it back utop the bar. Turning slightly to face him, Isabella smiled cooly at him. He was looking particularly handsome this evening, and her attraction for him, combined with his strange, spicy scent was almost intoxicating as she quipped ~Oh your father knows you too well.. out of all the men I know, you are easily the most annoying by far.~ a grin curved her dark lips. ~ I am however.. happy to see you..~ This last phrase was murmered so low it was almost a whisper. Clearing her throat, she glanced over at his bodyguards and the large group of men he had brought with him. ~ I am gratefull for your fathers support however, please pass on my thanks when next you meet.~*
Benito_Senfetti: *He watched her every movement of her beautiful body was a sweet awakening to his own. Her quip only made him grin his elongate canines glinting out from between his lips. He heard her last words and his brow rose as he grinned. He looked at her and followed her eyes to his comrades before he looked back at her. He nodded..* He will expect a full report when I get back. It is my job here to mark your performance..*He licked one of his fangs as he looked her over even so that she would see he was doing it. His eyes reached her eyes also and he grinned.* I am also delighted to see you Isabella, For more than one reason of course. The one I am willing to admit is that it is always an honor to meet a clan leader. It keeps up good...Relations? For when I gain my own place of power.
Isabella_Rastafari: *Her head dipped in partnership with the wry grin that crossed her lips at his words. He was smooth, she could deny him that. ~Of course Benito... it is always good for.. Relations... to keep your friends close, and your enemies closer... tis only the idnetifying of who is which that is the most time consuming and frustrating.. ~ she drained her glass completely and placed it back onto the bar, waving her hand and shaking her head in answer to the barkeepers request if she would like a refill. Straightening her long tailored red jacket that flared out at her hips and fell down to her thighs, ran a hand through her long dark hair and stood to her full height. She smiled at him where he sat. ~If you will forgive me Benito, it is rather.. crowded in here.. there is a nice little courtyard down the hall by the elevator.. I think I shall retire there for a while to catch my breath..~ her long dark lashes fluttered low over her ice blue orbs as she gazed into his eyes, before she blinked and sauntered past him. As she walked past his shoulder she murmered ~ perhaps it might be good for .. relations... if you kept me company?~*
Benito_Senfetti: *He watched her the entire time, He smiled then as she spoke to him. He was in agreement to that. Though it was his father's problem to who was foe and who was friend. He was more or less just here to keep up "relations". He laughed in his mind as he spoke of it. He watched her as she stood up and his eyes soaked up her curves and he grinned. His eyes seemed glued in place to hers as she stared into his. He then grinned as he heard her and he nodded downing the rest of his drink before standing from his seat. He began to walk with her as he found his bodyguards starting to follow behind him he turned around and spoke to them.* No, va prego godere il partito. Ho cose da discutere con Isabella. Rimanga e se non desiderate sul vostro proprio accordo quindi prendalo come ordine.*They just smiled a little bit and joined back with the "party that seemed to be going on. He had already started to follow Isabella out to towards the courtyard.*
Isabella_Rastafari: *A slight shiver ran down her spine at the sound of his accent as he spoke his native tongue behind her, dismissing his men as he followed her out of the main room and down a long hallway. There at the end of the hallway, to the left of the elevator doors, was a large courtyard. The glass walls merged with a glass ceiling, giving little protection during daylight hours, but allowing a sight of true beauty for those fortunate enough to glance up at the stars at night time. A cold, empty fireplace stood against one wall with a small brass pail of logs and twigs, while a slightly warped garden bench sat in the middle of the cobblestone floor. A few potted plants gave the only hints of life that the room felt and Isabella smiled up at the glass ceiling as she walked into the courtyard. Shining eyes turned to Benito as she waited for him to enter.*
Benito_Senfetti: *He had been a few steps behind her since he was delayed by speaking to his man but he finally came to walk into the courtyard. His eyes drifted from hers with a smile to the glass ceiling and dark sky dotted with stars like a diamond mine. The night had always been a comfort to him. He was truly a child of the night. He smiled for a moment as he looked up at the stars before his eyes came down to look at her.* I would say that the view from this glass ceiling is the most beautiful thing about this room but then, I would be a liar. *He smiled again as he looked back up at the stars..* When I was a little boy, my real father used to take me out at night after we had been done working our fields. And we would sit on the rolling hills and he would teach me the names of the constellations. Since I gained my dark gifts I have never forgotten that no matter where I may be when I look up at the stars. It brings me back home to Italy. It is the only thing that I believe I have ever truly owned or had next to me. The land, The sky, The sea. This view brings me back and yet I could find something else to stare at..
Isabella_Rastafari: *She shivered again, at the mere sound of his voice before his words rolled over her in an endless sea of seduction. Following his gaze up to the stars, she smiled as she listened to him speak of his childhood. She herself had had an affinity with the night since the moment of her birth, and her fangs glistened in the light of the full moon which watched over the small courtyard and bathed those below in a soft golden light. Nodding at his compliment, she turned her eyes back to his and dipped her head slightly. ~ Ahhhhh Benito.. you always were such a charmer.. is that how you manage to have so many women in so many different ports?~*
Benito_Senfetti: *He looked at her and he almost felt numbed by her words. As if all the feeling in his body in one instant had been taken out. He put on a smile however and shrugged* I guess it may be. My smooth talking makes an unsurity to whether I want to get into your pants or if I am being sincere to my feelings. I will tell you that for the many women I have had I have never gotten what I have wanted. *He smiled once again and just peered up once again as if counting all the stars to make sure they were still in check. His attraction to her was apparent but for what reasons he didn’t even know. Maybe he did just want to join her in her bed. Maybe he needed a companion. Everything was confusing and yet exhilarating at the same time. It was a drunk passion that he was filled with*
Isabella_Rastafari: *She felt a change in him and she arched a brow as she wondered what it was she had said wrong. Dismissing the worry from her head almost as soon as it appeared, she nodded. ~ I know all about your reputation Benito.. you are known accross many lands as a notorious lady's man. Whether you want to get into my pants or not or are being sincere with your feelings is beyond my comprehension or interest right now. As a matter of interest to you though.. ~ she grinned and licked her lips. ~ I'm not wearing pants.. Im wearing a skirt. ~ Laughing she pulled up the tail of her red coat to reveal the dark red mini skirt that showed off her toned thigh. A patch of alabaster skin was visible before the rest of her legs were clad in knee high black boots. ~So you see..~she chuckled. ~Even if you did want to get into my pants, you couldnt as Im not wearing any...~*
Benito_Senfetti: *He looked at her as she spoke his eyes couldn’t maintain to be on her so he looked off towards the fireplace. He just nodded as she spoke to him, when she spoke of matters of his interest he turned to look at her. He watched as she pulled up her coat and showed him the skirt she was wearing. He couldn’t help but feast on what forms he could now see. He just grinned a little bit before shaking his head and nodding afterwards.* Ah but physically it would be easier to get up a skirt..*He grinned a little bit before moving his gaze upwards towards the sky again. Not knowing how he should feel or what he should do. Something he wasn’t used to and something that he was very uncomfortable with.*
Isabella_Rastafari: *she laughed outloud and nodded. ~Ah well yes.. you do have a point there. And Im sure if I was one of these girls that threw themselves at you that you would have no difficulty in getting "up my skirt" as you so elegantly put it... but.. alas for you.. I am not. ~She stalked over to the fireplace with a smirk upon her dark lips as she crouched over the fire, the tail of her red coat trailing on the pebbled floor beneath her.*
Benito_Senfetti: *He looked at her as she spoke. He felt as if her words were a knife through his stomach and he bit his hand as she walked away. He shook his head and turned to the other end opposite of where she went to look around. Tough nut to crack is what he would call her. His obsession with her would not let him give up however. He wanted to with all of his thoughts but his heart drew him closer and closer to her though he stood still trying to observe something interesting opposite of her direction.*
Isabella_Rastafari: *She felt his indifference to her, and she tried to mirror it with her own, but she could not. She was aware of his every movement though her back was to him as she quickly stacked the kindling into a pyramid shape of wood. Using her long crimson nails to tear some strips off bark off the thin branches, she stuck the bark in between the stick tee pee, before turning around and glancing over at Benito who was looking elsewhere. Sighing deeply she called out ~Got a light?~*
Benito_Senfetti: *He heard her voice and he turned around. He reached into the pocket barely noticeable in his dark suit pants and pulled out a lighter. He walked to her and held it out to her..* As it has no other use, it should light perfectly. *He stepped a little bit away as soon as it was in her hand and watched her then as she started to light the fire. He just smiled half-heartedly and continued to watch his eyes drifting sometimes to see if maybe his bodyguards had come to check up on him wondering if maybe he was better off sitting alone drinking wine. He was willed to stay however once again and turned his attention back on her*
Isabella_Rastafari: *She took the lighter from his hands, her fingers grazing against his slightly before they grasped the lighter and moved towards the kindling. Flicking the flint, Isabella smiled as the flame appeared and touched it to the kindling. As the wood caught fire and started to burn, she watched the flames eating the wood for several moments seemingly transfixed by it all before she remembered she had company. And what company it was. Realising that just by being here with Benito she was the envy of every woman back in the main room, she turned and fixed her cool blue eyes upon him. The flames leapt and danced behind her, warming her back as she gazed at him in silence for a few moments. When she did speak, her voice was husky. ~Tell me Benito.. why are you here with me? There are many women out there, members of my own clan that have come tonight with the single goal of bedding you tonight... so I ask.. why arent you out there letting them have their way? Why do you waste your time on me?~*
Benito_Senfetti: *He watched her as she began to light the fire and he watched as every moment passed as the fire built itself feeding on the wood as it went on. He smiled and before he knew it her eyes were on him and he looked up at her his eyes meeting her for those few brief moments. He then listened to her. He found that when she asked him this question he had to turn and look up at the stars before he turned to look back into her eyes.* I have seen those females whose eyes wander on me. They know my weakness so they would take advantage of what my "legends" say about me. That makes them unworthy of my attention. You however do not care...If I am here. I am here, I am just another vampire to you and yet you still enjoy my company. That makes you worthy of my attention. *He shrugged a little bit and looked away..* Don’t get me wrong. If my intention was to take one to bed it would have been done already. However on this night I wished not for that to happen. Being here with you gives me the least chance to taking someone to bed..*He was lying for his reasons to be here. He wanted nothing more than to spend the night with her. But he couldn’t let her know that for it seemed to him she was either playing hard-to-get with him or she was just not interested period*
Isabella_Rastafari: *She smiled and nodded as she listened intently to his words. ~Ah.. well, that explains it then. I had often wondered as to your interest in me.. I have been around a long time Benito, and I can sense when a man is interested in me.. I had often wondered why, and now I know..~She nodded again before turning back to look at the flames, however she took a few steps backwards as she turned so she was now standing nearer to him while looking at the flames. Turning her head slightly to glance at him, she murmered ~Whatever the reason, I am grateful for the company Benito. Although we are surrounded by our brethren, I have never felt more alone and isolated... or more cold. Perhaps that is why I crave this fire so much..?~*
Benito_Senfetti: *He had traveled as instructed by his father in a boat with many of his other comrades on the long journey to Australia. As soon as they were in the port he had wanted to get off of the boat and now sitting here he had listened to a plight that he had no idea how much of a help he himself was going to be.

Benito_Senfetti: *He watched her as she began to light the fire and he watched as every moment passed as the fire built itself feeding on the wood as it went on. He smiled and before he knew it her eyes were on him and he looked up at her his eyes meeting her for those few brief moments. He then listened to her. He found that when she asked him this question he had to turn and look up at the stars before he turned to look back into her eyes.* I have seen those females whose eyes wander on me. They know my weakness so they would take advantage of what my "legends" say about me. That makes them unworthy of my attention. You however do not care...If I am here. I am here, I am just another vampire to you and yet you still enjoy my company. That makes you worthy of my attention. *He shrugged a little bit and looked away..* Don’t get me wrong. If my intention was to take one to bed it would have been done already. However on this night I wished not for that to happen. Being here with you gives me the least chance to taking someone to bed..*He was lying for his reasons to be here. He wanted nothing more than to spend the night with her. But he couldn’t let her know that for it seemed to him she was either playing hard-to-get with him or she was just not interested period*
Isabella_Rastafari: *She smiled and nodded as she listened intently to his words. ~Ah.. well, that explains it then. I had often wondered as to your interest in me.. I have been around a long time Benito, and I can sense when a man is interested in me.. I had often wondered why, and now I know..~She nodded again before turning back to look at the flames, however she took a few steps backwards as she turned so she was now standing nearer to him while looking at the flames. Turning her head slightly to glance at him, she murmered ~Whatever the reason, I am grateful for the company Benito. Although we are surrounded by our brethren, I have never felt more alone and isolated... or more cold. Perhaps that is why I crave this fire so much..?~*
