[color=007236]"Well since you haven't been here yet. Let me make some introductions."[/color] Alex turned around and his eyes landed on Caius and Claudia. [color=007236]"These are our newest bartenders, Twins and werewolves Caius and his sister Claudia."[/color]  Piper smiled at them both and she glanced at Alex and smiled slightly. [color=fff200]"It's nice to meet you."[/color] She said extending her hand to Caius and then to Claudia. [color=fff200]"I'm Lucinda's daughter, Piper."[/color] Piper saw the light in Alex's eyes when he looked at Claudia and it made her smile.

Upon hearing his name, Caius looked over to Alex and Piper. He looked thoughtful for a moment when his eyes fell on Piper. Even though he had never came across someone like her, somehow, he immediately knew what she she is. Regardless of what blood ran through her veins, he took her hand. [color=turquoise]"I'm Caius. It's a pleasure to meet you,"[/color] his lips curved up into a crooked grin. 

Claudia slid the drink towards the customer the same way Caius did earlier before she turned towards Alex and Piper. She looked at Piper and a confused look crossed her face. [color=palevioletred]"Hmmm...[/color] she said and then shrugged. She has werewolf blood in her so she couldn't be half bad. She reached out and shook Piper's hand. [color=palevioletred]"Claudia. Nice to meet you,"[/color] she said.

Piper took to Caius' easy smile immediately. [color=fff200]"I'm pleased to meet you both. Did Alex tell you? We all just moved up here from the south. I imagine the temperature difference will be fun. Different sports and things. Have you ever been skiing or sledding? I'm looking forward to winter."[/color] Piper asked him. She looked Alex across the room and then at Claudia and said, [color=fff200]"I can see why my brother likes you so much. You are very pretty." [/color]She smiled and hoped that at least this part of her day would be less confusing.

Alex came back and gave the drink order to Caius. He looked at Piper suspiciously. [color=007236]"What kind of trouble are you causing now little sister?"[/color] [color=fff200]"Causing trouble? Are you crazy? It follows me like a magnet. I'm usually running as fast as I can to stay away from it."[/color]

Alex grinned and stood leaning against the bar. He noticed that there was a vampire and a werewolf having a heated conversation across the room. He kept his eyes open and on them as Piper was talking.

[Color=turquoise]"Haha, no, I'm afraid Alex hasn't told us about you yet. You know, new to this bar. Just got the job. There was really no time to chat yet. Skiing and sledding... I suppose I've already tried that at least once. I'm more of a hockey type of guy,"[/color] he answered and then looked towards the arguing vampire and werewolf. 

Claudia raised an eyebrow at Piper. [color=palevioletred]"Thank you. But... you brother... likes me so much?"[/color] she repeated her words slowly and then turned just in time to see Alex walking back. A light blush colored her cheek and she looked away.

As soon as Alex came back, Caius took the order and then gestured towards the arguing pair. [color=turquoise]"I can take care of that, if you want."[/color]

Claudia turned her attention to Caius to cover her embarrassment. [color=palevioletred]"I'm sure you'll do a good job calming them down. Sometimes you're like an old man or and old soothing song. Everyone must listen to you."[/color] 

Caius chuckled. [color=turquoise]"With your temper? It's good that I'm like that."[/color]

Piper turned as Alex calmly said [color=007236]"No just be ready in case."[/color] Alex was standing just a little way in front of the bar. He was listening to the arguing pair. It was fine until the vampire said something and the wolf threw a drink at him and the vampire picked up his knife and whipped it at the wolf. The wolf dodged and the blade went flying, straight at Claudia. Alex moved so fast it was a blur, he blocked the knife with his body as he closed the distance between them. Piper jumped up and ran to the wolf and tackled him to the ground. 

Claudia bristled at what was happening but before she could do anything, Caius held out a hand to stop her. [color=turquoise]"Remember, this is not our territory. Let them take care of it,"[/color] he said in a quiet voice. But despite his calm demeanor, it was obvious on his face that he wanted to intervene as well. A fellow werewolf in distress always brought out his aggressive need to protect. But ever since they were little, Caius had that impossibly strong self control.

Alex grabbed the vampire and took him outside of the bar. The vampire turned and hit him in the mouth and busted Alex's lip. Alex ripped his head off and dropped him. Coming back in Alex wiped the blood from his lip and yanked the knife out of his shoulder. He looked at the wolf Piper had protected and he calmly said, [color=007236]"Caius can you get him another drink, on the house please."[/color]

When Alex walked back in, Caius nodded and immediately went to mix a drink.

Coming back to the bar he put the knife on the bar and glanced at Claudia for only a second.[color=007236] "That is why I'll be here most nights."[/color] Alex walked into the back room and he was worried that all Claudia saw was that he was violent or that another vampire was the instigator. He let his head lean against the wall for a moment as he got himself another shirt.

Claudia's eyes tracked Alex as he walked into the back room. A few seconds later, she followed after him. [color=palevioletred]"Thanks. I could have dealt with that knife on my own but... thanks,"[/color] she said in an awkward tone of voice. She turned to walk out of the room, hesitated and then turned back towards Alex. [color=palevioletred]"Are you okay?"[/color]

Alex pulled the torn shirt over his head and his taught muscles and six pack abs were on full display as he pulled another shirt over his head. He looked at the bar and said, [color=007236]"I know you could have. I don't doubt your abilities. You just shouldn't have to defend yourself at work. That's my job, not yours." [/color]Alex looked at her and for a moment his attraction to her was clear in his eyes. 

[color=007236]"You should know though, if it had been the wolf instead of the vamp. I would have done the same thing. It doesn't make a difference to me. Trouble is trouble. Lucinda calls me her enforcer." [/color]He chuckled a little. [color=007236]"Come on, let's get back before I do something that you'll probably hit me for."[/color]

Claudia openly admired Alex's body as he pulled a fresh shirt on. But when her eyes met his and she saw the clear attraction there, she looked away awkwardly. [color=palevioletred]"Yeah, I understand. I can see why you're the designated enforcer,"[/color] she said as she went on ahead of him out the room.
