Synn sat on the ledge of a building. It was only two stories, not very tall or small. The time to him was unknown, but it appeared to be far past midnight. It was strange too him. Not long ago, the area had been full of life. But, now almost no one was out. Synn did not really care that much. The silence was comforting at times to him.
Sighing, he looked up at the full moon. Many stars were out. The stars were a mystery to him, in so many different places the stars looked so different. This time they reminded him of his home when he and his sister looked for shapes in the stars.
'I wonder where she is now...'Synn thought. Synn felt her presence rather strongly lately and was almost confident she was nearby. He heard rumors of a war. Since he wasn't sociable, he wasn't 100% clear on that.
'Please by the power of Ra, Layla, don't do something stupid...I know how you think...He silently prayed for his sister.
Synn left the subject, thinking of something else. The Egyptian vampire continued to stare up into the night. The silver moon reflected in his distant yet so soft violet eyes. Turning his attention to his wrists. He removed the bands off each of them, staring at the two tattoos. A cross and upside-down star. Synn winced as the painfully memory flashed through him. He then replaced the bands on both wrists looking back at the stars.

"It was as if they created themselves.."
A voice mummered faintly, down below in an alleyway. A girl leaned forward on her staff, admiring the stars that seemed to be magic. No one, to her, probably would never know how they came to be, the million of candles that flickered in the night. Did someone light them when they blew out the sun, or did they light themselves? The girl wondered about that, her eyes gleaming under the stars.

Synn's head turned to where an alleyway was, not to far away. Thinking he heard something his eyes were locked in that direction. The Egyptian stood up and walked over to where he could see the alley way. His violet orbs peered through the darkened area. He spotted a young woman out. 'Miss should be more careful out at this time...'The vampire thought to himself.
Synn did not know if the woman would be able to see him or not and in a way he did not really care. He knew many times it was best to keep distant from people, no matter who they were. Sometimes this went for family as well, he knew. Especially with his family.
Synn took one more glance at the woman. Was she looking at the stars to? She seemed to be into deep thought, that was for sure.

The girl kept watching the sky, smiling. She noticed a bigger star, and wondered how close to her it really was. Or was it just a part of her imagination? She way spuzzled, but, shrugged it off. She'd never know the answer, it was probably best that way, no matter what.

Synn looked once more at the woman. He realized he felt like communicating at the moment. Not something he usually did, but he did do. Even though it happened rather rarely at times. Night was when he felt most alive though.
Silently, Synn jumped down from the building landing softly and gracefully like a cat. He landed not too far away from the woman. His soft voice broke the silence.
"Do you enjoy stargazing?"He questioned.

The girl quickly turned, holding her staff at attacking point. She stared at Synn a moment, and suddenly her face becamed puzzled.
This guy might be different from everyone else, he might not try to kill me. On the otherhand, I shouldn't let my guard down for a guy. Though, he does look friendly, and Kind of Cute, too. But, I really shouldn't let him get any closer, or he really might try to kill me.
Her thoughts ran back and forth, and she brought her spear once more close to her, thinking hard.

'Hm..she's seems slightly defensive. That can often be a positive and a negative..'He thought to himself. "Forgive me, Miss, if I took be by surprise."Synn apologized. "But I could not help but notice how you were staring at the sky."He truthfully told the woman.
Synn looked once at the staff, his eyes unsure of what the woman could do with the staff. "I do not mean you any harm."He went ahead and told her. He was not in the mood for making enemies, and he never really was.

The girl put away her staff, and looked at Synn. She blinked, still thinking, thoughts running through her mind at a high speed. She gave a small, embarrassed smile, and looked away to the pebbles on the ground.
"Yes, I like the stars. They are like millions of candles that magically light at night.."

"Ah, yes, they are."The vampire agreed. "But, I had never thought of that before, Miss."He said. 'No...we believed they were homes to higher spirits the passed on, somewhere in the next life where my family is said to be...'He mentally told himself.
Synn thought the girl had turned from defensive to shy in his view. Strange, how people treat different creatures differently.

"Please, don't call me miss. I prefer Jaca.."
She said, looking up again.
((Sorry, WB))

"Interesting name. Well, Jaca, I am Synn Wann Yrre."He introduced himself. His Egyptian accent was noticeable when he said his full name to Jaca. "But you may call me Synn."He said to her.
"Now, may I ask what you are doing out at this time? I was not sure if you were waiting for something or not."Synn said. After finishing his last sentence his violet eyes once more looked at the staff. For all he knew she could have been out to get or even kill something. She had not seemed like the type, but you could never tell these days. That was something Synn learned over the centuries.
((It's ok))

"Nice name.."
Jaca said, looking once more at Synn.
"I prefer night betetr than day. Less people around, more wonders. Such as the stars, and the moon, and all the creatures out at this time."
((Still have WB. So sorry))

"Yes, much more wonders. But dangers come along as well."Synn stated, a ring of ice was withing his voice when he mentioned dangers. "You can never know what will happen to you."He said softly. "Of course, this may occur during daylight as well. Just sometimes, different things happen at different times."
Synn brushed his bangs out of his eyes. "Tell me, Jaca, what sort of night creatures interest you so?"The Egyptian as out of his own curiosity. He waited for an answer as once more he was looking into the star-lit sky.
((Don't worry about it, can't tell you how many times I get it))

Jaca nodded as he spoke, then thought a moment.
"All kinds, actually. Werewolves, Witches, but mostly Vampires. How is it that when a human is bitten, they turn into a Vampire just because of someone feeding of their blood? Is it some sort of desease, or is it the Vampire saliva that gets to someone?"
She kept wondering about how that transformed from a mortal to an immortal.

Synn thought. Still, he was a vampire, and he did not even fully understand the process of mortal to immortal transformation. 'I wish I knew the answer to that one...'He thought. Out of all the things he thought about, vampires was not one of them. He guessed it was because, after he was changed he wanted to move on.
"I am honestly not sure. Maybe it is a combination o both. Some vampires are proud to be one and think of it as a gift, while others think it is a curse of some kind."He replied to Jaca.
'Maybe if I find Layla...I can ask her sometime..she was a vampire for one year longer...who knows what she learned..'

Jaca nodded, then her eyes widened a bit.
"Wait a secound. When I tell most people that, they say I'm a crazy girl with no hopes of anything. You're...a..a.."
Jaca stared a moment, then grinned.
"You're a Vampire, aren't you? Thats so cool, I've always wanted to meet one and ask them a ton of questions an-"
Jaca suddenly shut her mouth incase Synn really wasn't a vampire. She had embarassed herself many times that way.

At first Synn had looked at her in a questioning way. "Odd...most people never seem too enthusiastic about meeting one..."Synn said softly. He had not had much contact with creatures other then vampires. Others who did meet him were not necessarily scared, but not too happy either. There had been some who were scared.
"Yes, I am a vampire and a very old one too..."He said. "Have you never seen one of us before?"Synn asked Jaca.

"Only once, but, he was tall.."
Jaca balanced her staff on her head.
"That tall, probably taller.."
She let it drop, and she caught it easily. She grinned at Synn.

'Don't think I have met that vampire before...'Synn thought. "Last of my kind I really saw and communicated was about a month ago, I think."Synn said. He had appeared to develop not too good a memory over time. It did not help considering the fact he never cared to keep track.
"Did you communicate with him at all?"Synn asked Jaca. If Jaca had not said 'he' nd instead said 'she' Synn would have hoped it was his sister. He doubted Layla would have contact a human.

Jaca shook her head.
"He was so full of himself, acting like some king. And he smelt horrible, like he had never touched any kind of water at all. I only saw him once, and I never want to see him again."

"I don' t think I could really blame you. The way you described it, the encounter sounds unpleasant. I'm pretty sure I have never met him before."Synn replied. 'The description sounds familiar though..maybe I saw him somewhere a long time ago...Maybe it was an old vampire...'Synn thought.
"But other then that one vampire, your pretty interested in our species then?"The Egyptian asked.

Jaca nodded.
"The only thing I don't like about them are some are bloodthristy for humans, and slaughter them for fun. Thats the only thing I have against them, otherwise I could be bitten by one and not care."

"Sadly, that is true. But I personally dislike being a vampire."Synn said. Synn did not mind being a vampire after a while, but the fact that he fed off blood and was immortal was too strange to him. It was painfull, because if someone you cared about was not a vampire they would die and you would never see them again.

Jaca nodded sadly, looking at the ground. She said nothing, only watching the ground as she thought.

Synn looked at Jaca. "Are you alright? You almost seem troubled in a way..."Synn said. He was not sure if Jaca was only in deep thought or saddened by the idea of having loved ones dieing. But, Synn could not think of anyone who would not be saddened by the thought. It was almost scary, in a way. "I am sorry if I said anything at all."He apologized.
