OOC: This is happening just north of Rome, the lake is Lake Bracciano, the village is named Bracciano.
The night sky was clear and starry, the moon sat over the lake eerily reflecting its light off it casting a pale glow onto Keir's face as he looked over it, He could feel the hunger within him, He knew it was time. He had to feed.
Leaping from the boulder he was kneeling upon Keir started to fly towards the town of Bracciano on the lakeside, It only had a couple hundred inhabitants, but they never noticed him coming or going. He knew he shouldn't fly, it wasn't safe unless absolutely necessarily but it had been so long since he did, and if worst came to worst he would just kill whoever saw him in a manner that would not lead back to him.
As he approached the town he landed and sauntered off towards the darker edges sneaking along listening for the quiet breath of sleeping families, It would take more than a little blood to sustain him this night, he would need multiple sources.
Coming upon a house listening close he heard the breath of two sleeping people a husband and wife no doubt, as he went to phase through the wall he heard something else... the faint beat of a much... much smaller heart... listening closer he came to the realization that it was in fact a baby still in the womb, He couldn't attack this family, not while the child was still in the womb, the mother would need her strength, so he continued on.
A few minutes later he heard the gruff voice of a man muttering to himself and the soft breath of a sleeping woman, this would be it, this would be his dinner. He listened closely marking their positions in the house, he would take the man first and then the woman, sliding through the wall into the back room he silently stepped out extending a hand onto the mans shoulder draining the energy from the man to keep him from screaming, not all of it, just enough to subdue him, enough to put him to sleep for the rest of the night. He sank his teeth in.
A minute later he heard footsteps and then a voice calling out to the man, it was the mans wife, quickly he rose from his first victim and approached the door putting a hand over the woman's mouth and quickly draining the energy from her to make her pass out, after feeding on both of them Keir laid them out in their bed as if they were asleep, he then concealed the bite marks knowing they wouldn't be found until they were almost finished healing, he had only lightly bitten, that's why it took so long.
Sliding out the back wall into the shadows again Keir set off into the night back towards the lake feeling fulfilled and less anxious.

Sitting on the edge of the bank, her feet occasionally touching the surface and causing ripples, Asylia drank in the feel of the moon on her skin. Her sunglasses tucked in the pocket of her jacket. She hadn't worn them for about a week now, not needing to since she left the city. She would have to tomorrow, her food was getting low, and she hadn't had batteries for her MP3 in days. The second day without music she had started singing to herself. As she leaned back, closing her eyes, debating if she wanted to put the tent up at all, she sang a lullaby her mother used to sing. The normally calming and sweet song took on a more haunted sound with the sad slow humming she did instead of saying the words. She would would have to be careful going into the small village near by tomorrow, she had left the city because her sixth sense had startled her one day at work. She didn't know what had caused it, or if it was even after her, she had just ran. Even if it had been after her it was unlikely to have followed this far out, but you could never be to cautious. Her sixth sense had warned her as she had gotten close the area that something was here that could be dangerous, it wasn't strong like in the city, just a nagging vibe keeping her on guard. Asylia figured it had to do with whomever owned the mansion not far from the lake, so she didn't worry to much. areas like this were perfect for daemon and vampire. They were not likely to bother her if she was not to close to their home. Shrugging of her backpack she stood quickly. Planning to go swimming for the first time in a long time. Stripping down to only her underwear and necklace, she quickly splashed into the lake with a large grin on her face. once she was deep enough she laid on her back, and started humming her lullaby once more.

OOC: Steer away from actually going to the Manor until it gets approved in the house section, until then we will just steer around it or draw it out. So hopefully soon. *EDIT* Got told in PM that house is good to use
Keir was walking the path back from the village to his home by the lake. He was silently contemplating the nights hunt, He had almost fed upon the mother of an unborn child, had he held off of eating much longer and he would have... For most Vampire kind that wouldn't be a problem, but it had always sickened Keir to the core to think of children being harmed, Nerizule had even swore off touching children after meeting Keir. He would have to be more careful... He couldn't risk seriously hurting someone... especially not a child.
His contemplation's were interrupted when he saw movement and heard noise down by the lake, it was a quiet night and he had been walking fairly normal... for a Dampir at least but this noise.... this humming... It didn't belong... It had never been there before...
He quietly lifted off the ground hovering no more than an inch off it and started approaching without making a sound, he got to cover and looked out at the lake to see a figure laying in the water humming a song. He quietly landed on the shore and clicked his cane down on the rock intentionally making noise with it as he began to speak.
-I'm a fan of a nice bath with music, but my oh my, that must be really rather cold... Why child might I ask why you are choosing to lie in the lake rather than lie in a warm bath?-
Keir let out a chuckle as he took a few steps towards the pile of belongings watching the girl in the lake.

Having felt the him getting closer, Asylia already had her sia drawn. She had been caught off guard to many times to keep them far from her, a few straps on her back and they were never far away, and unlike traditional sia, hers were sharp. Still floating on her back, Asylia stopped humming once the man's cane came down on the rocks. She chose not to respond immediately to his question, but did tighten her grip on the daggers under the water when he shifted towards her belongings. After a few breaths she began to speak, her voice coming out light and airy "On a warm day like this, a nice cool bath is much more refreshing and relaxing?" Slowly sitting up in the water so her shoulders were the lowest visible point on her body, her feet dancing on the bottom of the lake, moving the sand all around. As she opened her eyes they betrayed her calm exterior, they glowed with her intensity and she stared down the man on the bank. "Though a bath taken in peace, being warm or cold, is the best, don't you think? Slowly making her way back to the bank, she gave the man a once over. He was not unattractive, nor was he human. She assumed that he was the owner of the mansion close by, she had tried to be as far away from it as possible but still be on the lake. If he was here to run her off then it seems she was not far enough away. If he was here to run her off she would leave quickly with no protest, but if he planned to kill her for trespassing he better be ready for a good fight. When the waters surface reached the bottom of her ribs she stopped, not wanting to show her weapons till she knew if he was hostile or not she kept her arms by her side, hand underwater. "Is there something I could help you with sir?"

OOC: Reference ability Clairsentience when he touches the belongings with his hands giving him some insight into her past.
Any Italian speaking character will understand the Italian as "You are young and yet you have been through much, my sympathies."
-Oh, I do agree, a bath it a bath regardless of conditions, I should know.-
His voice trails off as he reaches the pile of belongings, He lightly shifted them with his cane and then reaching down touching one with his hand, he began to smile.
-Well, Could we agree that your weapons you have underneath the water are rather pointless, I have no desire to draw attention to myself amongst the Hunter community and killing of a Fae would be a very... How would you say... Naughty... Thing to do...-
He says something softly in Italian not really to her but just to the air.
-Tu sei giovane e ancora hanno attraversato molto, la mia simpatia.-
He steps away from the pile of belongings and smiles at her again.
-I do not intend to kill you, if that's what you're wondering, Quite the contrary in-fact, I was heading home from supper and caught sent of you. You have been running for some time haven't you... Why don't you come back to my home and you can freshen up a little bit, Sound good?-

As he stood back up from touching her bag Asylia couldn't help the slight snarl that escaped her lips. If she knew more about him and his strengths she would have stopped him from even getting close to her belongings, but not wanting to piss off someone who out matched her, again, especially since she was in his territory she let it slide. If he had been human he would be dealing with a dagger threw his palm at the moment. Her eyes were almost slits as she raised her arms defensively showing the sleek black sia blades, her eyes seemed to get even brighter with her anger. "I would prefer it if you did not touch my belongings, sir" she said sir with a little more growl then she had indented. Still trying to be calm, but still looking for a way out, she continued to move closer to the bank, if it came to it she would run and leave her bag, but given the option it was not something she wanted to do in the least. "Though I am sure a warm bed would sound welcoming to most, I have become quite accustomed to the outdoors. I don't think I would fair well trying to sleep indoors. In fact I think I should be moving on; been here for far to long." It was her shins that disappeared under the dark waters now, her arms slightly bend but still very lax, not wanting to seem offensive in the slightest. She hoped he would get the idea and move away from her bag. The adrenaline she was getting from her fear was not helping her stay calm, her sense was not going crazy but it was getting more noticeable the closer she got to him. The blood drop on his collar was not helping matter either.

Keir does a slight bow and smiles again as he slowly lifts into the air a few feet.
Be careful to the East, My kind hunt other magical creatures quite viciously out there.
He flies across the lake heading towards his manor, Upon arrival he walks in and heads straight for the safe room putting the house on lockdown. He quietly talks to himself as he descends the stairs to the safe room.
Now, what shall I do, Others are finding their way here, It might be safe, but I have too much vested here to just leave it all behind... I'm going to have to lie low to ensure that I'm not found...
He sits down in a chair observing several monitors watching security cameras all around the perimeter, knowing they wouldn't pick up vampires but they would see a hunter any day and he had no intentions of being killed by a hunter anytime soon.

Her suspicions were confirmed when the man smiled, his fangs flashing for a moment in the moonlight, vampire. "I thank you for the advice but I have plans in the east" she said quickly, and as an after thought "and I can take care of myself". As he flew away she stabbed her sia into the ground, right next to her clothes. Slipping on her pants, but keeping an eye out just in case he came back, picking up her sia she quickly put them on her back in the straps attached to her bra. Asylia then grabbed her jacket, shirt, shoes, and bag. Decided to finish getting dressed when the feeling of danger was far behind her, she ran. Asylia was used to running in a hurry, carrying everything in her arms. Sometimes getting dressed as she ran. Once she reached the tree line around the woods she slung on her jacket, then stuffed her shirt shoes and socks into the top of it, almost tripping on roots and running into branches as she did. Quickly putting on her pack, grabbing her favorite silver visor sunglasses from her jacket pocket, she continued at an easy jog. It wouldn't be bright out for at least 3 more hours, but the glow of her eyes might attract to much attention.
She had passed the village and kept going, guessing from how close it was to the mansion it was the vampires hunting ground. Instead of stopping she kept running. For several hours she went at a slight jog. Making good time. Finally stopping a good two hours after the feeling of danger went away and the sun was high in the sky, she guessed it was around 11 in the morning. Realizing she needed to rest, she looked around and found a nice large tree. Throwing her back pack up and then quickly scaling the tree, she reached a sturdy branch with no issue. Grabbing a specific piece of rope she had for this exact situation, she tied a small rock around one end, then threw it around the tree. Catching it with ease, then tied herself in. Eating one of her last 3 fiber bars, and taking a long drink of water, she put everything back in her bag, hooked her feet threw the straps of her bag, and holding onto the rope, she let herself nod off, but still being alert to the slightness abnormal sound. When the light fell she would wake up and start moving again. While in the city she had heard rumors that it was safe in Romania, the mountains were full of caves, and there were sure to be people she could talk to about the masked hunter.
