[h3]featuring [color=fff200]Callie[/color][/h3][/center] [hr] [center][img]http://i128.photobucket.com/albums/p185/ladythang19/The%20Prescotts_zpswrui2iyq.jpg[/img][/center] [hr]

Garret was in the city at the border of Salizar territory. He had decided he would wait for awhile is his companions would join him, but after waiting for a bit he grew restless. Garret crossed the boundary line, and immediatley was surround by four rough looking vampires.


Tabitha was just putting slightly burned toast onto Callie's plate, when she realised she didn't even know the witch's name. She gave a small sound, annoyed at herself.  [color=f7941d]"I'm sorry, I didn't ask your name"[/color] she said, looking to Callie with a sheepish smile, clearly forgetting about the eggs she had on the stove. Callie by now had figured out that Tabitha didn't really stay focused on one thing, and had already leaped to grab the pan, wondering what she had done to be babysitting a who knew how old vampire that was...eccentric to say the least. Maybe if this wsan't the first meal she'd had in a couple of days, she might have just walked away. As it was, she didn't want the place burning down. 


[color=fff200]"It's Callie, just move over a moment, okay?"[/color] She moved around Tabitha, dishing the eggs out and putting the pan aside. Tabitha happily skipped out of the way, leaning against the counter. 


 [color=f7941d]"A pretty name. Wait"[/color] She held up a hand, and Callie blinked, watching Tabitha run off towards the door. Wondering what could have possibly attracted the flightly vampires attention, Callie looked at the food mournfully and followed her. 


Lucinda had done a little shopping. She felt that she needed to spruce up the house they were living in as well as update the nightclub's interior. There were delivery trucks pulling up to bring new and more comfortable furniture to the house and she looked at her cell phone. It was getting later in the day and she was going to have to go meet Garrett soon. She put things away and directed where the furniture was to be placed. When she stepped into the kitchen she saw that someone had been cooking. Cocking her head to the side she found that to be disconcerting. Tabitha didn't eat human food so who did? She cleaned up the kitchen quickly and did some whirlwind house cleaning. 


Lucinda's phone was ringing almost nonstop. It seemed everyone needed to ask her something. Construction on the nightclub meant that there were contractors with questions about delieveries and where she wanted things. She was quite happy to change into jeans and a nice top after struggling to try clothes on at the store. The boots had to stay on though. She loved those boots and they made her feel tall. Garrett had always said he liked that she normally wasn't as tall as he was. She would laugh at him and put on her boots and instantly she was almost as tall as he was.This and all of the questions and answers that people had for her was what was on her mind when she headed out to meet Garrett. She wondered where Tabitha had run off to. She would keep her eyes open and grab her if she saw her on the way. Lucinda had put her hair in a pony tail that bounced all down her back.


Lucinda walked up to Garrett and kissed his cheek then wiped her lipstick off of him with a grin. "Oopsie." She said smirking at his expression.[color=red] "Tabitha wasn't home when I left. I've no idea where she went but the good news is there weren't any obvious explosions along the way here. Oh, and I bought the bar we went to last night and the redesign is under way."[/color] She grinned happily as she surveyed the area. [color=red]"So what are we up to now?"[/color]


Garrett was suprised to see Lucinda, and even more surprised when she kissed his cheeck and had to wipe the lipstick off his face, Garrett growled slightly. [color=004b80]"Lucy, maybe dont do that when we are surrounded by children."[/color] Garrett looked around at the four vampires, who were confused by his words. [color=004b80]"Yes I am talking to you four. You are children, more than likely less than one hundred years old. A mere infant in my presence. I do not have time for your games. Take me to Salazar now."[/color]


The four vampires were surprised at Garrett's words, then laugehd. The first vampire in front of Garrett spoke first. "Your funny. Just for makin us laugh ima forget you insulted us about our age. Now how about you turn around and wa-"


The vampire was cut off as Garrett flashed forward and stabbed the vampire in the neck with his hand. Then he used more force and ripped the head clean off. He looked around at the other vampires. [color=004b80]"One last chance before I go looking by myself. Take me to Salazar."[/color]


The three remaining vampires looked tense, surprised at their comrades easy defeat. But they accepeted defeat and grudgingly guided Garrett and Lucinda to Salazar.


Tabitha skipped across the grounds Callie following behind her, she barely made it to the cab that seemed to be randomly there before Tabitha shut the door, for the moment she seemed to have forgotten that Callie was even there. How could Callie leave the vampire to her own devices, when it seemed that Tabitha would forget her own strength and knock over who knew how many buildings. She sighed, and buckled herself in, glancing to Tabitha when she didn't even make a move to do so. Tabitha looked over at her and smiled, 


 [color=f7941d]"What do I have to fear?"[/color] Which might be quite logical, for this strange vampire. 

 

 Callie sighed and let it be. She had no idea where she was being taken, but suddenly there was a nutrition bar of some sort in her lap, and oddly touched that Tabitha had grabbed it, she opened it, and in moments the bar was gone, barely making a dent in Callie's hungry, but at least it wasn't so bad now. 

 

 When Tabitha had the taxi stop somewhere in town, and climb out, Callie followed. What she wasn't expecting, but rapidly figuring out that she should expect the unexpected from Tabitha, was to essentially be thrown over the smaller woman's back. A little freaked despite knowing that the woman was a vampire, and thus was stronger then she had any right to be, Callie closed her eyes tight as Tabitha began to run, somehow leaping up buildings, and-oh god-leaping from building to building with Callie on her back, apparently following something, but who knew what. 


Salazar was standing in the middle of the courtyard in front of his home, when three of his underlings walked in unannouced with two strangers. Salazar sniffed the air and nearly gasped out loud. He recognized these scents. They looked different, as did he, from when they first met but he could make no mistake. And his real name isnt Salazar, would they even remember his name? These two were Garrett and more than likely the female was Lucinda. Salazar puffed his chest out, and stood up straight. He had to act make sure they knew he was in charge and not them. Even if they were older, stronger, and faster. [color=1a7b30]"How nice of ya'll to enter my kingdom. Unnanounced. Commiting murder. Stealing my property. All for what?"[/color]


Lucinda smiled and walked over to Salazar and straightened his collar.[color=red] "All for fun. Darling I have shoes older than you are. I've recently acquired a house and now a bar in town. I'm having so much fun. It's a little like monopoly." [/color]She grinned and hugged him. She spoke quietly into his ear. [color=red]"Have you missed us?"[/color] She stepped back and walked the few feet back to Garrett.[color=red] "It seems like your area has been a little too ....open about our kind. That was something you were supposed to make sure was kept quiet."[/color] Lucinda glanced at Garrett and started to examine her fingernails.


Garrett softly coughed. [color=004b80]"Thank you Lucinda. Your tactful as ever."[/color]Garrett walked over to Salazar and for a moment  he stood there just watching Salazar. Salazar shifted his weight  uncomfortably. Garrett suddenly wrapped Salazar in a hug and both men laughed.[color=004b80]"Jackson, my old friend, just because you changed your style and fashion sense it doesnt mean you could fool us. I have missed you greatly, my spawn. Although,"[/color]Garrett said frowning[color=004b80],"I am suprised to see you here. Suprised to see the trouble you're causing."[/color]


Salazar took a step back from Garrett and motioned for everyone to leave them. When the three of them were alone he sighed.[color=1a7b30]"Garrett I did what you wanted me to do. I had fun, I took what I wanted, and I made sure to build a lasting legacy for you."[/color]


Callie opened her eyes, but wished she hadn't, as Tabitha took a leap, only there wasn't a building close enough. She would have screamed if her voice hadn't fled, and all at once, their fall slowed as Tabitha reached out a hand, bringing herself close to building and sliding down it. Callie didn't know how Tabitha could just [i]do[/i] things without contemplating the risks. Yeah, Callie did it herself sometimes but not [i]leaping[/i] off a building. 


As they landed, Callie hoped that Tabitha would put her down, although she was sure that her legs would just fold, they felt like jelly. Tabitha merely shifted Callie slightly, and walked over to three figures. [color=f7941d]"Hey guys, I found a lost little lamb"[/color] She said to Garrett and Lucinda, before looking to Salazar, [color=f7941d]"Jacky!"[/color] She said cheerfully, She set Callie down, who just wanted to disappear right then. 


Lucinda smiled as Tabitha appeared and although she probably should have been surprised about the girl on her shoulder she wasn't. She walked over to the young woman who appeared to be having trouble getting her legs to hold her up at that moment. [color=red]"Tabitha, did you make breakfast at the house and leave the kitchen a mess?" [/color]Lucinda didn't expect an answer she already knew the answer. [color=red]"Next time I'll make it worse for you and make you clean it up." [/color]She turned her attention back to Jackson. She remembered him as a nice guy. Which meant that she had pretty much no interest in him at all.[color=red] "So what are we doing? I have to get back to the bar. I'm expanding the building so that I can add more dancing space." [/color]


Lucinda was pretty transparent if you knew her. Her priorities were family then her current boyfriend and then her projects and since she was without a boyfriend at the moment she was going to be nearly obsessed with the club and any other thing she decided that she wanted to do. She glanced at Garrett and Jackson again and she shook her head and grinned at them. [color=red]"You two are just adorable and as much as I like staring at you both what is going on?"[/color]


Salazar crossed his arms. [color=1a7b30]"As you know, last time we met you three left in a hurry. Why, you never told me. But low and behold, the last thing that happened before all three of you left was Garrett here turning me."[/color] Salazar grinned and put his hand on Garretts shoulder firmly then went back to crossing his arms. [color=1a7b30]"He told me, "Make sure you live long and have fun. Take what you want and do what  you want. But if I ever see you again, make sure you have a left for me a legacy I will approve of," and thats exactly what im doing. I have been alive three hundred years, and I havent even come close because I have been too passive. So now, I am doing just the opposite. Humans are fragile and stubborn. I am simply removing the blockage from the road. But for now, Lucinda you can keep the club. But dont try to take any more territory."[/color]


Garrett sighed. He knew this would quickly grow out of control. He didnt need Lucinda killing everyone. He wanted to have some fun with his spawn before everyone died. [color=004b80]"Jackson, I did not want my legacy to be revealing the supernatural to the world. I thought I taught you better than using force when you dont have the power. And you dont have the power."[/color]


Garrett looked over at Tabitha. [color=004b80]"Tabitha if the....whoever she is wants to go home let her go. You know how I adore free will."[/color]


Salazar grew angry, and the anger in his voice made Garrett turn his head back to Salazar. [color=1a7b30]"Dont have the power? I have the witches under my thumb, and the werewolves do whatever I say. No one has dared to openly contradict me in years. My power radiates off of me. What about you Garrett? You run and hide, not even bothering to tell me when you are leaving!"[/color]


[color=004b80]"Fine......Salazar."[/color] Garrett looked at his companions. [color=004b80]"Do not touch Salazar. He is my spawn I will not allow anyone but me to harm him."[/color] Suddenly Garrett was in Salazars face, his will and power fuming off him in spurts of annoyance that could be felt for miles. [color=004b80]"Choose your words more carefully my friend. I may have spawned you but I can destroy you quite easily. What I do or say, and what I dont do or dont say is none of your concern."[/color]


Lucinda laughed at Jackson's order to her not to expand her territory and that she could keep her bar. [color=red]"Oh Jackson, as much as I adore men who try to control me it just makes me more stubborn and willful. You should expect your "territory" to be drastically smaller by dark."[/color] She looked at Garrett and was irritated by his order. [color=red]"You don't order me either Garrett. Only the man in my bed gets to do that....so you'd better hope my choices don't piss you off." [/color]Lucinda glared at them both and she looked at Callie and said [color=red]"Who are you?"[/color]


Tabitha watched the scene play out with an odd clarity to her expression that normally wasn't there. She gave a sad sigh, [color=f7941d]"You were such a good boy, Jacky"[/color] She said sadly and disappointed, she turned towards Callie, now looking distraughtly at the witch. [color=f7941d]"I'm not keeping you against your will, am I"[/color]


Callie felt like she was struggling to figure things out, to even keep her feet. She swallowed nervously as Lucinda spoke to her, noting the differences between her and the strange yet oddly sweet Tabitha. [color=fff200]"I-I'm Callie."[/color]  She said, then thought [i]may as well get it all out[/i]  [color=fff200]"And I'm a Witch, and as far I know, I'm not under anyones thumb, so I don't appreciate being claimed as such, even by Sa-are you calling him jackson? Salazar"[/color] 


She looked to Tabitha, who seemed utterly devestated at the thought she was being kept captive. She shook her head, to reassure Tabitha [color=fff200]"No, no, not at all. I chose to follow you to that cab."[/color] This seemed to perk Tabitha up, who happily gave Callie a hug. Callie returned it, indugling her, before looking to Lucinda again. [color=fff200]"I'm sorry about the mess in the kitchen, she was cooking me breakfast, after she found me. I don't have a home, and it was hard enough making sure she didn't burn the kitchen down to think about cleaning"[/color]


Tabitha was, as usual when dealing with humans, oddly aware of how fragile they were, quite gently with Callie, not hugging her too tight, before she let go, at the mention of the kitchen she bowed her head, recalling Lucinda's words, for the moment she seemed to have forgotten about Jackson's presence, and seemed almost like a little kid caught doing something bad. 


[color=f7941d]"I'm sorry, Lucy"[/color]


[color=red]"It's okay Tabitha."[/color] She glanced at her cell phone and walked out of the courtyard and started to head back to the house. There was a large shipment of beds being delivered to replace the ones that Tabitha had swiped from the other rooms and she didn't like the mattress in her room so she was having it swapped out. She couldn't get over the nerve men had. In general  they seemed to think women were subservient to them and it was shocking to her that they still did this 1200 years later.
