"Late...late...late!" Passion repeated over and over as she rushed out of her room, pulling down her dark green T-shirt. Rushing into the kitchen she grabbed a piece of bread, sticking it in her mouth as she slipped five pocket-knives on her persons, making sure they were hidden as she rushed out.
Walking down the streets she headed toward the butcher's shop, combing her fingers through her dark hair rapidly. Looking up she could see a red-faced, middle aged man standing at the entrance of the shop. Oops... She thought sheepishly, smiling slightly as she approached.
"Passion! You're late. Again!" The boss scowled, arms crossed and boot tapping on the ground.
"Well, I'm trying to break the record, y'know." Came her reply as she walked aorund the stand, moving to go into the back of the shop but cut off by her boss. "Well, don't you want me to get to work? I'm sure that-"
"You're working up front today. Whenever you're late you'll be working there from now on." The femme felt her jaw drop, clear shock on her face. "But...I'll just scare the customers away. And who'll prepare the meat?"
"I'm working in the back! You will help the customers and place down their orders!" Obviously the man was angry...pissed off would be the more accurate term. Passion sighed, shaking her head.
"Alright, alright. Jeez, careful boss. I bet the vampires could smell your blood boiling." She said with a casual shrug, turning and walking to the stool at the stand. The lass couldn't help but allow herself a smirk since she could just imagine her boss' suddenly shocked, angry, and slightly fearful face. Not many people made cracks about vampires around here, after all.
The man did slip in the back eventually, leaving Passion at the stand. She rested her elbows on the stand, chin in her hands, and let out a heavy sigh. It was far too boring up here...she hated it.

Vincent walked into the butcher shop and looked around. So many people... so many potential meals but he was not going to feed at the moment, he needed to get some meat cut for him. Walking up to the girl taking orders he set down a bundle infront of her. "I want that cut down into ground meat." He said with a small sneer. "It is for my favorite pet so please make sure you do a good job." Inside of the package was a severed arm from the vampire that had dared to touch his pet, he was going to feed her the lover she had picked up in his absence.

Her gaze lifted as the man walked in and instantly she saw him as a vampire. Glancing at the bundle she raised an eyebrow, lifting her head from her hands for a moment.
"Oh, how rude to not say please." The teen said as a tease, though she kept an even expression as she snagged up the bundle in one hand. "Prices here..." She said with a slight grunt, tapping on a tab on the stand. She stepped over to the back door, slamming her calloused hand on the wall.
"Oi, ground meat!" She called out, holding up the bag. "Bring it in here!" The man snapped in responsed, causing a smirk to crawl on the teens face. She hated vampires, yes, but she wanted to be a bit mean to the middle-aged man int he back. "You told me to stay up here."
Curse words sounded as she heard metal clanging and her boss emerged, sntaching the bag away from her. He was about to retort when he saw the vampire and instantly his face paled, looking at the girl. She merely smiled in a sweet manner, turning her heal and striding back to the counter.
"Done by a certain time?" She asked simply, half listening to her boss' stunned silence by the back doorway.

The girl had guts to speak to a vampire like that... most of the people in the villiages were to scared of vampires to say anything bad about him or any other vampire. "I want it done right away." He said in a cold voice, "Price is no object... but please try to keep the bone intact, she really likes to naw on bones."

Before she could reply she heard her boss speak quickly. "Y-yes sir, it's our main priority now!" He piped up, shuffling back into the room. For a second Passion blanked. He just left so quickly, no roders to her or anything. What was she supposed to do? There was a vampire standing right on the other side of the stand and it wasn't like he was her best friend or anything. The teen almost noticeably sulked, instead she just slipped the small ring on her necklace between her lips, an odd (and considerably annoying) habit of hers.
"That all?" She asked through the ring, returning to her seat on the stool and leaning back against the wall.

"You are scared aren't you." Vincent asked with a smirk. He had nothing better to do while he waited so he might as well play with one of the locals. "But unlike the others you dont let your fear paralyze you or control you... your fear is closer to hatered then real fear." THen he leaned in toward her as if he was about to reveal a deep secret, his voice little more then a whisper. "We like fear, it makes our prey taste so much better."

Oh, how could she not see this coming? An involuntary shiver ran down her spine, but she ignored it, fiddling with the chain that held the ring absently. Passion exhaled softly when he invaded her space, round eyes narrowing in a sharp glare.
"It's a damn good thing I'm not prey then." Came her response, smooth as glass. Her head was dipped to the side, chin lifted slightly as she surveyed him. "Now we have a couple books if you don't want to be bored with waiting. I'm sure your meat will be done very, very soon." Passion added in her same, smooth voice, unable to resist a small smirk. After all, my boss is a coward and is probably chopping away so quickly and carefully. Hope he doesn't snag his finger. As amusing as the image was, she kept her dark orbs locked on the man before her, not trusting enough to let herself completely space out. Just enough to keep herself amused and from saying anything too bad.

"All humans are prey to me." He whispered as he looked her over slowly with a smirk, the way a woman out shoping for her family might eye cuts of beef. "ANd I have always found the best way for me to avoid bordem is to find a meal and play with it a little before I strike, get them nice and scared then right before they are about to run... I make my move."
HE was not really going to attack her, he just enjoyed messing with the locals, scaring them before walking away with a laugh. If he wanted to feed there were hunting grounds he could go to, slaves he could feed off of.

The youth raised a brow at the way he let his eyes travel. She had the urge to just bring her knuckles to his jaw or something along those lines, but kept her right mind and sat still. Lowering her necklace from her lips, she raised one hand in front of her face, or eyes rather, and snapped her fingers a couple times.
"Eyes up here, babe." She said with a bitter-sweet smile, resting her arms on the counter again. "Now for what reason should I run? I doubt you' kill me. After all, then my boss would shudder and run off leaving your precious meat unfinished and you'd have a very upset pet on your hands. Nothing but trouble, in my eyes." The een brought her canine down on her lips after she spoke, a sort of playful smirk on her face.

"BEcause I am thirsty and you are nothing more to me then a very attractive meal." He said leaning back from her with a smirk. "And for your information I will let my eyes roam where ever I want them to be, you should be flattered that someone of my station finds you the least bit attractive."
Now she was getting on his nerves and he tended to hurt what ever bothered him. "As for your boss, the threat of him being next will make sure he does good work."

"Yes, I do have a fabulous body, I'm fully aware of that. But if I am to hold a conversation with someone it's so much easier if they are looking at my face. Don't you agree?" Passion replied in her passive sarcasm, now wishing her boss would hurry up before she went in the back to finish up the job herself and pretend she as chopping up the vampire before her. Now she locked her fingers together to stop herself from actually striking, leaning forward slightly so that her long hair fell from her shoulders and tumbled in front of her.
"Still think I'm so fun to toy with?" She inquired with a small smirk. "If not I could just go in the back and personally prepare your meat so that you can enjoy my boss. If fear makes your prey taste so good he'll be a most delicious snack, I'd imagine."

"I dont like to feed off guys." He said dismissivly. "Not that I have anything against guys but girls are just so much more fun, the way they squirm against you when your fangs sink into thier neck." Grinning wide he licked his fangs slowly, his tounge long and coming to a sharp point. "I have an offer for you girl... you become my slave for a month and when the time is up if you want to leave I will give you passage to Humanus Populus." Of course it was a lie, she would not live through the month if she agreed but most humans living in vampire territory would take any chance no matter how slim to get somewhere safer.

The teen rolled her eyes at his response. Sexist. She thought sarcastically, bending her hands at her wrists with her fingers still locked together and cracking her knuckles. She arched a brow when he mentioned an offer and scoffed slightly.
Still, she hesitated slightly. For the past few years she'd been working that had to get ready to leave this place and reach the Humanus Populus, but submit herself as a slave? Years of preparing thrown away to that?
"Offer declined." The teen replied in a hard tone, any humor wiped from her young features. She stood up sharply, the stool scraping along the wood floor from the movement. "If you don't mind, I'll go and see what the hell is taking my boss so long." She said in a final tone, turning quickly and heading to the back room. It was taking her far too much self control from smacking the vampire with her stool and all she could think of at the moment was to get out of there before she got herself killed.

"I will join you." He said leaping over the counter. Not at all insulted by her declining the offer, he figured she was smarted then that but still it had been fun to see how she would react. Playing with her was fun but he wanted to get back to his castle and give Nite her treat. "After all if your boss does not hurry up he will find himself mixed in with the meat."

Passion stopped at the doorway, blocking his path. "Well then, I'll be sure to finish it up for you. I'd hate for my main scource of money to become food for your pet. However, you'd have to stay out here, as customers - vampire or human - aren't allowed behind the counter." She said in a firm, determined voice, arms crossed as she narrowed her eyes, shifting her weight to one hip as she waited for him to either turn back or disobey this 'rule.'
