Who: Ginger Fitzgerald and Paul
What: Exploring
Where: Apartment building roof
When: Feb 10; 2am
Status: Complete!
Rating: PG-13 for swearing at least, some violence.

Ginger hated being trapped and that was exactly how she felt at the moment. Waking up to discover she had been brought to Las Vegas had been a big shock for the redhead but then discovering she was in a zombie infested Las Vegas was almost too much. She had scanned through that network system on her laptop and even flicked on the tv to check out the news just to try and figure out what was happening.

Through it all Ginger figured that the whole city was pretty fucked at this point and that had scared Ginger. The only thing she hated more than feeling trapped was feeling afraid. Being afraid made her feel weak, pathetic and disgusted. Especially after Ginger locked her apartment door and barricaded herself in after searching the kitchen for a knife. Some big bad werewolf she was! Still, it would take a few hours for her self-disgust to overwhelm the fear but finally Ginger decided to venture outside her apartment. She wasn’t quite ready to venture outside the building yet. That would a goal she’d have to work up to but in the meanwhile, Ginger set about wandering through the building.

It was a nice looking spot, swanky but sort of boring since all the halls looked the same. Ginger eventually made her was up the staircase to the rooftop where she stepped out and saw the pool. “Great, at least we can still go swimming during the apocalypse”, Ginger muttered sarcastically. It was an overcast night, clouds obscuring the stars and the moon she noticed as she walked over to railing on the ledge of the building.

Funny how she never gave two shits about looking at the moon and now she was always checking sky. Not that she really needed to since her own body gave enough clues as to when the change was coming. Ginger picked absentmindedly at her nails as she stared out over the cityscape. From this height it almost seemed peaceful, as long as Ginger didn’t look down for too long at the madness in the streets. She was contemplating her situation when Ginger realized she was no longer alone. Turning sideways, Ginger looked at the other person and considered ignoring them. It was what she usually did in most situations but tonight Ginger found herself greeting the stranger. “Hey”, she said simply as she leaned on the railing. “Hell of a night, huh?”

Ginger just couldn't get over this guy, was he from another planet or something? "Um, no. It's online. You know, an online forum on the internet. You go on your computer and log on". It just got even better when he started saying it was still 1989. Ginger snorted, "Look dickhead, I don't know what you were smoking before you came here but it's not 1989. It's two thousand and ten. Look at a calendar sometime, huh?"

Paul knew what a computer was, they were becoming pretty popular back in his time but had no clue what the internet was. It really didn't matter because right now Paul was too caught up in this year thing. "It can't be 2010", he insisted. "That means over twenty years have passed since--" He broke off suddenly. No, it wasn't possible. Paul would remember losing that much time...wouldn't he?

He felt a little shakened. "Do these Zenner people have a time machine?" No, that was impossible too. Time machines didn't exist.

Watching as Paul tried to process the reality of this place was mildly entertaining and a distraction from the whole 'end-of-the-world' business. Ginger wondered if she should tell him it was the apocalypse or not. He seemed to have a hard enough time accepting the year but she was sure he'd soon pick up something wasn't quite right about Las Vegas. Ginger decided to continue being the bearer of bad news.

"Probably. We're in the middle of an apocalypse so I think about anything's possible now".

Paul looked at Ginger and then looked out over the city. Was she crazy? It looked pretty calm to him but as he stared, Paul realized something wasn't right. He stepped closer to the railing and looked down. He could see people in the distance, fighting and as he listened, Paul could hear more people in distance. Some were screaming, some more fighting and some...some didn't even sound human.

"What's happening down there? It looks a bunch of people are going nuts".

Ginger moved back as he approached, watching him warily before looking down to see what he was looking at. "They're zombies. That's what I was told when I was on that network. Saw them on the news too and I gotta say, they do look like zombies. There are people dealing with it though", she added as if that was any bit reassuring.

Looking back at the boy, she went on. "You'd know all this if you had gone on the network you know".

"Zombies", Paul repeated. "Huh. Didn't think those fuckers even existed". He rolled his eyes in annoyance as Ginger mentioned the network again. "Yeah, well I haven't got a clue how to get on it so piss off, will ya? I don't even have a computer", Paul explained although as soon as he said that, Paul wondered if he did. There was that weird rectangle and it had keyboard in it. "Wait, is the computer that skinny rectangle with the keyboard in it?"

As soon as he said, Paul realized how stupid he sounded. "Fuck. Okay, I haven't got a clue how to work that thing".

"Oh my god...what are you, simple?" He must have really been from 1989 because how else could he know what a laptop was? "Well, first you press the on button and then when it starts you use that square pad to move the arrow and you can type into it. You do know how to type, right?"

Ginger shook her head in exasperation. "I can't believe I'm on a rooftop in Vegas explaining how to use a laptop to a guy from the eighties. I don't even know your name for christ's sake!"

"Jesus, what's with the attitude?" Paul sneered. Still, he listened to her simplified explanation, figuring that it could be useful. "Yeah, I know how to type", he said although in truth, he didn't have a lot of experience with it. "And it's Paul by the way. What's your name Red and why are you so obsessed with this network thing".

You're one to talk, Ginger thought but amazingly, restrained herself from snapping at him. "Paul huh? Well, Paul I'm Ginger. Not red, got that?" She hated it when people called her red, almost as much as she hated being called Fitz.

"And I'm not obsessed. It's just a good way to find out what's on the go and see who's here. If you had any brains, you'd figured that out".

See who's here, Paul silently repeated to himself. That was a good idea! He could use this network thing to find out if the others were here. Paul originally assumed that they were until Ginger mentioned the year. Now he'd just have to figure out how to work the damn thing.

"You know, if you keep talking like this you're gonna hurt my feelings Ginger", he said sarcastically.

Ginger glared at him. "Bite me Paul. Like I really fucking care". She was never a people person and never had time for idiots, which was what she assumed Paul was from this conversation. "Hurt your feelings", she muttered in disgust as she turned back toward the city. Ginger was starting to give some thought about going back to her apartment.

Paul's face split into a big, shit-eating grin. What a perfect thing to say to a vampire and a hungry one at that. "Where do you want it babe?" He thought about grabbing her and sinking his fangs in right then and there but resisted. That would just lead to fight and though Paul knew she'd be no match for him, he didn't need any screams getting him unwanted attention.

Who would even hear her?, a voice whispered from the darker regions of his mind. The part that housed his predator instincts. You need to feed and here's a victim. Easy pickings.

While Paul was smiling, Ginger was gritting her teeth. That did it, she was sticking around here anymore with this loser. "Why don't you go fuck yourself Paul?" she sneered before pushing away the railing and heading for the door that lead back down into the apartment building.

Paul was tempted to say he'd rather fuck her but since Ginger was already moving to the door, he didn't waste his breath. Instead Paul stepped in front of Ginger, blocking her way. "What's the hurry?" he asked, putting his hand on her shoulder. "I'm just teasing you girl".

Oh he didn't just put his hand on her. Ginger looked at the offending hand on her shoulder, looked at Paul and then lashed out with her fist. Her knuckles made contact with his chin and put a good amount of her strength behind that punch before pulling away from Paul.

"You picked the wrong girl to fuck with Paul", she snarled.

The punch caught him off guard as did how strong Ginger actually was. It was the first time in a while since a human had managed to hurt him and...and did she cut his lip? Paul brought his fingers up and felt his mouth. It felt wet and when he looked at his fingers, there was a bit of red.

A little blood never bothered Paul however. He licked his lips and grinned widely, feeling his fangs extend. "Nice punch", he said to Ginger before lunging forward at her again.

It was too far from the full moon for Ginger to really show her wild side but there were certain aspects to being a werewolf that always stayed with her. Her speed, her strength and her senses were greater than a normal humans but as she saw Paul's teeth get sharper, Ginger wished she had her claws.

The redhead met his lunge and struggled with Paul up close and personal. "What the fuck are you?" she gasped as she saw his yellow red-rimmed eyes up close and noted the distortions in his face. Before Paul had looked like a normal, good-looking guy but now...now he looked like a monster. Ginger tried to take another swipe at him but lost her footing, falling forward.

A fight didn't bother Paul anymore than blood did so he eagerly matched Ginger's movements. It wasn't a great fight by any means, move of an upright wrestling match. He chuckled when she gasped, enjoying the note of fear in her voice. "If you had any brains, you'd figure that out Ginger", he retorted her own words back at her.

As she went to hit him again, Paul quickly caught her wrist, throwing her off balance which caused her to fall forward. His other hand grabbed her waist, pulling her closer to him. Paul twisted her arm, pinning it behind her back. They were now standing face to face, pressed up against each other. A position that gave Paul an opening at her neck. His head moved down, his mouth opened for that first bite.

Ginger did feel fear as they fought but that wasn't the only thing. She was wrapped up in adrenaline, feeling excited and very much alive at that moment. Too bad Paul had gotten the upper hand. She tensed as he pulled her closer, trying to pull away but Paul was strong. It didn't take a genius to figure out what the blond man was, not when he baring fangs and looked like something out a horror movie. Vampire, Ginger thought. A fucking vampire.

Out of all the things she had to run into tonight, why did it have to be a vampire? She had barely gotten a chance to accept that zombies existed, let alone anything else!

Ginger couldn't waste time thinking about that now however, not when Paul was going in for the kill. She instinctively reacted, bringing her knee up solid into his groin with all of the strength she could muster. He might be a vampire but Ginger was a werewolf and she'd be damned before she'd let some asshole vampire feed off of her!

As Paul got closer to her neck, he noticed that Ginger smelled odd. It wasn't an unpleasant scent, quite the opposite but it was different from any human Paul had encountered in the past and he had encountered quite a few. He chose to ignore it as his eyes focused on a nice large blue vein in her neck.

Then he suddenly a sharp, crippling pain that radiated up from his balls and caused his to groan painfully. The bitch had kneed him in the balls! In the moment of pain, Paul had released Ginger and pulled away. "You..." he tried to swear at her but was in a little too much pain at the moment. It took him a few seconds to recoup and he was still aching but Paul was able to stand straight.

"You bitch", he managed to get out before going for Ginger again.

A short, bitter laugh escaped Ginger as she watched Paul stoop in pain. She probably shouldn't have stopped to laugh, she probably should have taken off at that point while he was weak but Ginger did take a perverse joy in her enemies pain. Besides, she felt cocky. She could take this son of a bitch she had herself convinced. When Paul moved for her again, Ginger eagerly rushed forward with a cry, bringing her hands up in front of her, fingers clawed.

When her hands touched his shoulders, Ginger pushed hard and kept pushing. She saw the railing but didn't stop. Didn't hesitate as she plowed forward and shove Paul back against the metal. With another surge of strength, Ginger pushed him over, sending the vampire sailing down. The redhead leaned against the railing, watching for when Paul would hit the pavement below.

Paul struggled against Ginger as she pushed against him but once again, he was amazed by just how strong the girl was. It was then Paul knew something was up, no human would be able to push him backward. Soon he found his back pressed against the metal railing of the rooftop. Paul gathered his strength, planing on twisting to side and get out of Ginger's powerful grip when the girl surprised him again. With another powerful push, she managed to get him to fall back over the railing and the side of the building.

He was shocked! Enough to free fall a few floors before he stopped himself in the air. Being a vampire, one who was capable of flight, came in handy for times like this. Paul was stopped in mid air for a moment at around the fifth floor before he flying upward, back toward the roof where Ginger was. He soon reached the roof but didn't stop there. Paul decided to go another twenty feet higher in order to show off and scare the girl.

The vampire floated for a moment before turning in the air and driving toward Ginger.

Ginger's mouth fell open in shock as Paul stopped in mid air. "What the fuck?" she muttered, leaning further over the railing and staring down at the blond. She didn't stay that way for long when Paul shot upwards. Pushing away from the railing, Ginger walked backwards when she suddenly saw Paul reach the roof top. When he didn't stop there, her eyes followed his ascent above the rooftop.

He can fly...of course he can fly. FUCK! Ginger stared up in wonder for a moment until Paul began his descent. She knew he was coming for her again but this time Ginger panicked and couldn't stand her ground. Not against a creature who fly! Turning quickly, she dashed for the metal door that lead downstairs and to illusion of safety. If she ran fast enough, maybe she could escape.

Ginger didn't look back as she flung open the door and ran down staircase after staircase. She didn't even look back when she stumbled on the stairs. No, the only time Ginger looked backward after that was when she reached her apartment and slammed the door behind her, quickly locking it.

Paul thought he had her but Ginger proved to be quick on her feet. He tried to grab her before the redhead reached the door but to no avail. Landing, he stalked toward the door and stepped inside but by that point, Ginger was down a few flights of stairs.

"Fuck!" He had let the prey get away! Paul was hesistant to chase after her as she was heading further into the building where people where likely to hear them. She's too strong to go quietly, he thought. Paul was going to have look for his next meal elsewhere tonight.

Kicking the door shut, he stalked toward the edge of the building and jumped up on the railing. "They can't all be fucking zombies", he said to himself as he stared down at the people rioting in the street. "Gotta be one human out there". With that, Paul jumped and fly down to the street.
