Good. (open)

[Momo Sato]

Darkness surrounded her. The night was quiet and peaceful. Momo sat on a park bench hugging herself again. She rocked forward and back, humming to herself a melody that sounded to upbeat to be what she was actually hearing. The whispers echoed, repeated, multiplied, distorted and disoriented. Her eyes squeezed shut. It was all so real...

Tomorrow was her day off, she could stay out here in the cool night air and try to shake the whispers away tonight. Here alone they seemed more real then ever before. She opened her eyes to the darkness, only lit by street lamps in random distances. A deep breath of the cool night air inflated her lungs, and she relished in the smell of cut grass and fresh air. Her head was pounding with whispers, her body was sore from being a waitress all day, but at least she could breathe...

Momo's voice started to sing quietly in the dark. It was the only other thing she could think of besides humming. Her arms were still wrapped around herself. She was wearing black skinny jeans, and a black sweater, the sweater had a slight V-neck, not enough to be too showy. It was long sleeved in order to hide the scars, and she was glad for that. The blade in her pocket seemed to burn a whole in her mind. One little cut and it could go away... Then again why should she give in to this stupid desire? It wasn't healthy and she needed to stop it... But she couldn't.

The cool metal flicked across the surface of her wrist. The pain felt good, it was something besides numbness and whispers. She tucked away the pocket knife and licked her fresh wound, tasting blood on her tongue. The metallic taste was a familiar one the human girl didn't mind at all. Feeding on the wound killed the pain, but she liked that too...

[Axel Morose]

Darkness surrounded everything. He felt it in his veins, the darkness pulling him into the hunting mood. The Turics he was traveling with were sniffing the air. His eyes glowed red in the darkness. The white haired man stepped out from behind a tree as he saw a lone girl on a bench. He already knew a few things about her. Her file said she was living alone, in a spare room in her workplace. She was legally an adult, even though she wasn't actually eighteen yet. Her only living relative was a little girl by the name of Baylee. Right now, she was all alone in the dark, and between himself and the Turics he knew there was no way for her to escape...

Axel could hear it again. The rush of blood in her veins as her heart raced. He was curious to what she was doing. Hugging herself on the bench and humming in the dark.It was strange. He waved the watching Turics off, and stepped forward. Walking up to the girl... He could see a cute face and pretty brown hair. Axel hated having to do this.

Approaching the girl wasn't the hard part. It was going to be catching her if she struggled. "Momo Sato. You have been accepted into Scarlet Rose Academy. Come with me, and I promise we won't hurt you." He said, looking directly at the girl. He was unwavering, and had switched her eyes back to their icy blue. He was trying to be comforting, to not scare her.

Suddenly Momo heard a voice in the darkness. It was louder then the whispers in her head. It was masculine, and a bit scary. The words made no sense. She opened her eyes to see a man with white hair. She was surprised. She got up, and got ready to run. Where did he plan on taking her. How did he know her name? What was this scarlet rose?

"How do you know me?" She asked, getting ready to run from this stalker, or whoever he was. She was afraid of what might happen. She was just a girl, and she was in the park alone in darkness. No one was around to hear her screams...

Axel tensed as she got up. She asked a question, and he could hear her heart beat steadily rising. The liquid crimson in her veins was so tempting... For some reason he could already smell it. He couldn't help but notice his body's strange reaction to her smell. It was delicious, it was disgusting. He wanted to sink his fangs into her vulnerable neck, and he wanted to kill himself. He continued to tense up, a frown on his face, and he was struggling to keep his eyes blue. The instinct they had in planted in him along with his powers was begging him to attack her, and let his eyes glow the same crimson as her blood.

"That is classified." He answered finally. Watching as she took a step to her left. Getting ready to run. Apparently she didn't like the answer. He watched as she attempted to start running, and before you know it he was standing behind her. Reaching out to put her in a head lock. Before she knew what was happening he had an arm around her throat and his other hand was snapping on handcuffs.

At this distance she was driving Axel crazy. Her blood smelled soo good. Instinct struggled for power. He couldn't help but lean his head down and sniff her. It was delicious, and every breath he took of it he hated. This short little girl was captured now, and his only job now was to bring her in. However his body wanted to sink his fangs into her. She would scream first, but then she would enjoy it, and almost go into a trance like state. He could see it, and it made him queasy...

Momo started screaming when she felt the metal snap around her wrists. Axel quickly put an end to that by following his training and jabbing her in a pressure point. The girl went limp in his arms, and he picked her up, throwing her over his shoulder. Really... All he wanted to drink her blood until her life was in danger, but those thoughts were making him hate himself. What was it about this girl that made him so thirsty?

The turics watched him as he walked over to them. "Capture complete. Let's go." he said in a mutter only the werewolf turics would understand. The strange group of men, and the newly recruited female, disappeared into a large hover car and into the night...
