Crouching on the roof of the building, she overlooked the boardwalk where unsuspecting humans were offering them selves up as food; to vampires. She knows this, she kills them, nightly. Sheyenne had hunted for as long as she could remember. Her mother and grandmother were hunters before her. They taught her all the tricks they knew, and she improved on a few.
Her latest prey was Blake. He was the oldest she had ever hunted, 750 years old. Being that old meant he had almost reached, or had reached, his full powers. She hunted him because he had killed her mother, and for that he would suffer. Not die, suffer; for a long time. After watching him kill her mother, she vowed to hunt him down. She trained for months, stopping only to eat and rest, perfecting each move until she could do them in her sleep.
Caught up in her thoughts, she almost missed him, walking around by the fountain. She studied him, although she could never forget him if she tried. He was tall, almost 6 feet judging by the height of the water shooting up in rhythm to the music. His golden hair spilled around his face like a curtain, a short one because his hair only reached his shoulders. His eyes were ice blue, so pale, so haunting. He was built like a hunter, long lean legs, strong shoulders, wide chest...WAIT, what was she thinking, she didn't need to think of her prey that way.

He knew she was there, he came for her specifically. From his position, he could just make her out on the roof. He was hunting her hunting him. He had made it a game; she just didn't know it, yet. He had studied her while she had trained to kill him. She was short, only reaching 5'2 or so. Her black hair was waist length and her green eyes would make trees envious because they were so bright. She had a gymnast build from hours of tumbling and bars training. He had chosen this location for the confrontation because she couldn't cause a big scene, and that would get her goat.

She had descended off the roof and was making her way to the fountain when he turned around and looked her straight in the eyes. She knew it was coming but still her breath caught in her throat at the intensity in his eyes. "So you knew I would be here?"
"I had a feeling, besides I wasn't hunting for anyone but you." Blake said, moving closer to her, like a panther stalking its next meal.
"Hunting for me? Why would you do that? I should be the one kil . . looking for you." Damn, she almost said that out loud. It would do no good for one of these humans to hear her threaten to kill someone. "We should take this somewhere more, private."
"You are right, we should take this somewhere else, but not tonight." With that he turned and strolled off in the crowed. She could have cussed a stream of words that would have made a sailor blush, but stopped because there were others around here. There would be other nights; she would start preparing, now.

He was pissed, beyond pissed, livid was more like it. He picked up the closest thing he could get his hands on and threw it against the far wall. Damn he thought, there went my favorite vase. He paced the floor of his living room, scheming for the next time they would meet.
