WHO: Drifter and Kaisa Galanos
WHAT: Crossing paths
WHEN: 8/21; around 11pm.
WHERE: college campus
RATING: High - blood drinking, NPC death, language, drugs...it's Drifter.



Boredom was a constant for the man who didn't age or die. Hell after living for over a century there wasn't much that really managed to hold the vampire's interest for long. Oh the drugs and drinking helped numb that dull ache, yet it was the music that really kept Drifter going. For a hundred plus years he had wandered the world, a weary musician traveling down the dusty roads in search of a place to play. The songs and haunting melodies were always just there out of reach, a hidden symphony swirling around within his brain. Maybe the drugs and drinking had left him a little addled at times, but after a fucking long century Drifter had honed his craft well. He was there in the background of all those old photos; always around the once living legends of music. The muse that jammed with them in smokey back rooms, and partied with them in dark crowded bars.

Now though such days were long gone, and those gifted humans had all passed away. The 'new' world, with all it's technology, grew far too small for Drifter and it was hard to revel in it all when any fucking fool had a camera on their cell phones these days. Hidden just out of sight was how he preferred to live, but such things became harder in the current Age. So here the vamp was, in the campus parking lot, drinking deep from the neck of a girl he found out late and wandering all alone. The taste of blood flooded into his mouth, so hot and delicious. Yet even as his head was swimming, thanks to the bottles of whiskey he had downed just a bit ago, the sound of someone singing reached his ears. Off in the distance he could hear that sweet sound as a new girl seemed to be making her way down the sidewalk...so blissfully unaware of the madness that was lurking just on the other side of the fence.

That song of hers pulled all his focus though, and thoughts of his meal faded away almost as rapidly as his victim's life faded away. It had been ages since anything had stirred him so, but there was no denying that that siren's song had caught his complete attention. Without giving it a second thought the vampire just suddenly snapped his poor victim's neck, leaving her body crumpled there on the pavement, before he moved to investigate the source of the song. In the blink of an eye the vampire hopped the tall fence and landed with impossible grace a few feet behind her. Silent as the grave he moved, slowly striding behind as his gaze drifted over the young woman's form. Oh she was attractive to be sure, as far as humans go, but it was her voice that held his attention. Without saying a thing he just followed behind, his feet never making a sound at all as the vampire tagged along.

Jeremiah went so still as Kaisa seemed to freeze right there on the spot, an eyebrow raising as he wondered what just happened. Yet before he could give it a single thought that name was heard on her lips. Like a bolt of lightning striking him a look of genuine shock swept across his face, eyes so wide as confusion washed through him. Even as she began to fall Drifter was on the move, impossibly strong hands somehow so gently catching her by the arms and guiding her as she dropped to her knees.

His whole body trembled though the vampire didn't understand why. That name she spoke; the name of his sire and now deceased lover...no not just the name, but the way she said it...it mirrored the way he once called out to her on that night that he died so long ago.

Without thinking he suddenly disappeared from behind her, reappearing an instant later kneeling down right before her. Those eyes of his locked onto her own, and a shaky hand moved to so softly touch the side of Kaisa's face. Drifter had no clue what to make of any of it, but for the first time in decades he found himself truly focused and present in the moment. "Just what the hell was that, darling?" A softly as he spoke up there was a hint of his Southern/cajun accent clear as day. Yet the tattooed biker/rockstar looking vamp's style seemed to clash with that southern accent.

It was taking a moment to remember who she was and where she was, but there were strong hands holding her and helping to keep her focused on the moment. Yes... her name was Kaisa and she was a teenage girl, not a man losing his life.

Her eyes were slightly out of focus when she came to look up at the man who had caught her, the one who she had been in the vision. "Jeremiah.... I like your accent." She said softly before shaking her head again and forcing herself to focus. "S-sorry. I must have tripped. Don't mind me, I'll be fine in a moment. Thank you."

Kaisa tried to rise again, but her legs trembled and reminded her that it would take a few more minutes before her strength would return. Damn her visions. The girl looked up at her hero and took notice of the blood on him, flinching as she did and thinking of the blood he had coughed up in her vision. Without thinking, she reached out and rubbed a bit from his lips to clean them.

To hear her speak the name of his sire was one thing, but to hear Kaisa speak his own name; the name that no one else had uttered in nearly a hundred years except for Mariselle herself...it left him at a complete loss for words. Drifter was the name he had used ever since he died, but hearing it now was so strange and foreign. Coherent thought had never really been his strong suit, truth be told, but right now it was just a struggle to think at all.

Oh he would have likely blushed, if it were physically possible anymore, when she spoke of liking his accent. Doubly so when Drifter watched her reach out and wipe the till fresh blood from his lips too. Luckily for him though the dead don't blush.

At last it was only when he noticed her try and fail to rise that the man moved at last, pulling her up with such ease and inhuman power. Oh he took great care to be gentle with her, holding her in his arms as they stood, and keeping her from falling again. None of this made any damn sense at all, but instead of seeking the logical amid the bizarre Drifter found himself feeling something stir deep inside him. Like a spark of a dying ember a wave of long since forgotten feelings burned brightly within. Memories washed over him of that very night so long ago, and without thinking Jeremiah found himself leaning closer in.

His lips pressed against hers suddenly, a deep passionate kiss springing forth as the thought of Mariselle's lips rushed to the forefront of his mind. To hear his name uttered...to hear hers said aloud...all of it engulfed and enflamed some part of him that Jeremiah thought had died decades ago...feelings that he thought had died with his sire died as well. Whether it was Kaisa or Mariselle he was kissing even Drifter couldn't say, but in that moment real passion flowed through him for the first time in decades. Those hands of his so gently held her, one resting on her lower back as the fingers of his other hands lightly caressed the back of her neck.

It was always Kaisa's first reaction to pretend to be fine after a vision. To slip away and recover herself away from anyone who could not understand her. It was why she tried to move so soon, even if she knew she really couldn't yet. It was a welcome surprise though to feel his strong arms holding her up though.

Kaisa was about to offer her thanks when the man leaned closer to him before capturing her lips in a sudden and heated kiss. It was with surprised that she surrendered to the kiss, the feel of his cool lips and the metallic taste of blood on her lips. She seemed delicate in his arms, as if the wrong moment would break the petite woman.

Jeremiah wasn't the hero. He wasn't the knight that saved the damsel either. If anything he had become the very monster that mortals fled from. Even just a few moments ago he had slaughtered a helpless young woman, and a trace of her innocent blood was shared with the fiery kiss. Yet for all the wicked things he had done, not a single thought of harming Kaisa entered his mind.

Hell the vamp was down right gentle in the way he held her, embracing her like a lover whose lips he longed to taste again and again. The fact that she surrendered to the moment only made it that much sweeter, and while he could have remained like that forever something in the back of his mind reminded Jeremiah that mortals needed to breathe. So with a soft little sigh, and maybe the faintest hint of a whimper, his lips pulled away from hers at last. Oh he paused to ever so softly offer a playful nip at her lower lip with blunted teeth too. Without thinking he swept her up into his arms, holding her against him as impossible speed carried them away from that spot and a second later he was so carefully sitting her down at a bench nearby.

The man sat beside her a moment later, those eyes of his still holding confusion in them...but not also more then a little hint of desire. Instead of moving to kiss her anew though the vamp leaned back on the bench, taking a second to lick his lips and humming to himself at the taste of her there. "Got some divine lips on ya, darling. Taste so sweet to be sure."
