A lonely night {Pride}

Tonight was a rather tame night. For some reason I had decided to take a walk out in the park before I'd be heading to the club to begin my usual activities. You know, getting drunk off my ass, start flirting my head off and find someone, hopefully, to entertain myself with for the rest of the night. I sighed heavily, almost disgusted with myself but there was one little thing. I loved every bit of it. As sick and twisted as it was in the end. It was all for pleasure, something every creature in the world was hardwired to seek.
Anyways, the cool night air was doing me some good, of course that and the fact that the place was quiet, something I wasn't too used to really. It was almost unnerving. I was more of the bright lights, loud music, room crowded with people, type of person. At least tonight I was dressed more as a guy than the other night when I'd met Uriki, and Nate. I mean at least I was wearing pants, even though they'd very likely fit a girl, but I still made them look pretty damn good. Of course the jacket I was wearing would doubtless look better on a girl as well, but I pulled it off well. Of course, the fact that I was maybe an inch over five foot and a relatively feminine looking asian man might have something to do with that, luckily I was wearing some boots that gave me at least three more inches in height. That and my bows, even if my hair was shorter, but it was thick, and actually mildly styled. Mostly flat-ironed and actually parted.
I was drifting on one of the winding paths, hands tucked easily into the pockets on my pants, head held relatively high, my gaze flicking around. I was not entirely stupid. I was out in the middle of nowhere in a world over-run with creatures that would just love to eat me up. In more ways than one more than likely. I grimaced even as my footsteps sounded oldly hollow and realized I turned to walk across a low bridge over a pond. I paused in the middle, looking out over the water, smiling softly to myself. I almost wished that I actually had someone special to share everything with, and at the same time, I was glad I didn't. I know, weird, but I liked my freedom to go and do what I wanted, when I wanted. Though it was a rather lonely existance. Of course, there was Nate.
I sighed almost longingly when my thoughts drifted towards him. He was the only one that I had taken home that I hadn't slept with. Of course he was also straight which accounted for that reason. And yet, I wasn't bitter as I likely should have been. He'd saved my life after all. But he was pretty nice, and funny. Good looking too. Of course, I had to admit I rather liked taller guys, though he was a monster, especially compared to me. I mean he was like nearly six and a half feet! I felt like a little child compared to him, and I really didn't mind. I was confused about him though. I mean, he hadn't bolted when he found out I was really a guy, again, another 'my bad', I'd been wearing a rather form-concealing dress. It'd been a shock to him no doubt, but he was still willing to be my friend, which surprised me. Hell, even the people I slept with didn't want to be my friends unless it was the kind with benefits, which honestly didn't phase me even though it should've.
My thoughts where driven blank when I could have sworn I heard the soft thudding of someone else's feet on the bridge. Oh shit, this seriously wasn't the place to go off into Lala-Land. My gaze flicked from side to side, before resting on the water, waiting to see if I'd spot a reflection. Perhaps someone else was on a mindless walk during the night? Highly doubtful. Nobody wanted to become a meal for a vampire or were. Me? Honestly, I knew it was going to happen at some point or other considering my habits, hell I was probably lucky to have reached 24 years old, it'd probably be a miracle if I made it to 30.
Anyways, I absently lifted my hands, tugging my collar up a little higher, there was no way I was going to be an easy meal for anything. Of course it's not like a little bit of cloth was going to deter anything, but it was enough to make me feel better, and perhaps make whatever was lurking around that I was at least mildly aware of them. Of course, you know, it dawned on me. I could just be hearing things. Heh, that would be amusing actually, and fitting. Ah well. Just wait and see. I didn't feel like looking away from the water, not yet at least. Just wasn't worth the effort. I would probably have to get going soon anyways, if I wanted to still go to the club. I grimaced slightly. Did I really want to go there? I don't know, I was a creature of habit and well, that was my habit but my heart wasn't really in it. Perhaps, perhaps I wasn't imagining a visitor and I'd have someone to talk with? But could I actually hold a conversation with someone? Have to wait and see I suppose. Guess it's time to admit that I'm not a very patient person, well, depending on what I was waiting for.

It would take time, of course, but eventually I knew that I would no longer be wandering the streets. Not that I was homeless – a clan had graciously accepted me into their ranks as the only Ancient among them, and I suppose that title held some honor, but if the lands didn’t belong to me I preferred to be elsewhere. Sure, I could be found when a word – ha ha – was needed, but otherwise I kept to myself, wandering the streets, looking for easy mark, a snack. A meal, perhaps, if the plate was large enough. My hunger was brewing, but more than one kind of hunger wracked my body tonight – in my travels, I had gotten used to bedding with my chosen mate at least every night, if not nightly. To go as I had now, weeks, without sex, was… abhorrent. Strange. It left my body yearning, left me nearly desperate, hoping for satisfaction, a craving that could only be met one way.

I wished for a human bedmate. True, I often ended up killing them, but… I was an ancient, no? Surely my restraint had gotten to the point where I could pull myself back, control my urges, before I destroyed the life bent on satisfying me. With that thought in mind I strolled through the park, approaching a bridge that spanned over a small pond.

A lone figure stood on that bridge, staring into the water. I sniffed. Human. Male. A small smile slid slowly across my features, and my pace quickened. He seemed to notice, as he tugged his collar up. That provoked a chuckle. I wasn’t out for dinner, not tonight.

I stepped until my reflection appeared in the waters below. I watched him, moving closer, my steps confident, knowing he had no chance of escape. I moved until I was within inches of him, staring at him, my eyes piercing, almost demanding him to look at me.

I guess I had been right, what with thinking someone was behind me. It hadn't taken entirely too long until I saw his reflection in the water. I mean my eyes had been riveted to the sight of motion being shown in the water as was natural and I knew he was exceedingly close. Not that I truly cared, of course, perhaps I should care, considering what happened the other night with Uriki. I smirked a little bit. That had been fun, even if I hadn't been too keen on the idea of him trying to rape me in the streets. Of course, Nate had saved me. I frowned slightly when my thoughts drifted towards the man. No, I didn't need to be thinking about Nate and how much I actually wanted to be back in my apartment, curled up against him. I grimaced a little bit. he didn't even like guys so why should I care? I shouldn't, he wasn't interested so there was no reason to dwell on him. And yet, I wanted to, I wanted to find a way to make him more willing to look past the fact that I was a guy. I didn't think there was anything besides me getting a sex change, and I didn't want that. I was quite content to be a guy thank you very much!
Anyways, the person behind me seemed, interested I supposed, in me. They were just standing there, staring at me. I could feel the eyes against my flesh and it almost made me smile. It wasn't too often that someone actually came up to me. Of course, I was well aware of the fact that whoever it was, wasn't likely to be human. Not that I minded. I loved the idea that I ended up sleeping with my own death. Of course I suppose that was just the horribly morbid and perhaps masochistic side of me? It didn't really matter in the end though. How had I lived through so many nights sleeping with vampires and weres? Simple, I'd made damn sure that my partner had enjoyed themselves to the point where they wouldn't want to do away with me. Not to brag or anything, it's just, I figured that was how I managed to stay alive.
I turned around to actually greet my little visitor, noting at first that he towered over me. Of course, that really wasn't the greatest of feats. I tilted my head up a bit so I could meet his gaze with my own, though I admit it, I had been looking him over at the same time and I liked what I saw. Of course, I suppose, I wasn't too horribly picky. Actually, wait, yes I was. There were certain types of people I would never consider, and then there were the types that I would do almost anything to be with, at least once. This guy? I didn't know where he fell into yet, but he looks-wise I already wanted him.
I leaned back against the bridge, smiling softly. "Well hello handsome, nice night for a walk no?" I basically purred, resting my elbows on the top of it. Sad that I was actually quite content and at ease in his prescense wasn't it? Of course, I never really was scared of anything. I just merely accepted things as they came. Perhaps that was something that needed to be worked on at some point. Anyways, the ball was in his court now so I just had to be a good little boy and be patient. Heh, hope he'd be as interesting as he looked.
