Gabrielle looked up when Lune joined them. At Lune's request, she turned to Alandra, her eyes apologetic, "you don't mind, do you?" she asked the other girl, before standing and following Lune.

*Lune led them to a corner which wasn't too crowded, so nobody would hear them. She sat down at a table and offered Gabrielle to do the same. When Gabrielle sat down, she leaned forward and said in a quiet voice:* "I heard what you told Avril, and I'm sorry to be eavesdropping like this, but I just had got the feeling you were special, and I was right." *she smiled* "You see, I am half vampire myself. Half vampire, half witch. I'm sorry to tell you this just like that, but I have never met anyone...well...a real vampire in a long time. My father is a vampire, but I've only met him once. He took me from my mother a couple of years ago, but she came to my rescue. Father said I could be useful to him and his people. I guess it's because of my vampire-witch mix. You see, my father is some kind of Vampire Lord. He and his people kidnapped me when I was fourteen and kept me in their temporary castle somewhere in France. They planned on transferring me to father's home country England, but mother came and saved me before that. They treated me well, like a princess. My father was caring and polite towards me; but I was the only one they treated that way. Father and his people were so...cold...and brutal to their victims, sometimes even to each other. Even though I grew to like my father in a way, I was afraid of him." *Lune spaced out for a couple of seconds, but pulled herself together and said:* "The reason I'm speaking to you is that I get this familiar feeling from you. I thought maybe you and I are related in some way to each other. Do you recognise the name Lord Aurel?" ((Argh, sorry! I didn't mean to write so much...! ))

((haha, thats OK, I did the same thing )) Gabrielle sat quietly and listened as Lune began to tell her story. She did not interupt, but when Lune asked about Aurel, what little color there was in Gabrielle's face lightend. "Aurel?" she asked, her voice quiet, as to keep it from floating to the other tables. "I know him...although not directly" she paused for a moment, thinking back, and using the time to compose herself. "As I'm sure you know, unless you were born from a vampire, you have to be....made. for me, his name was Louis...Louis DePointe if I remember correctly. We're not on the best of terms...after what I ...did to him" she waved her comment away, "What I'm getting at though is that when I first got to know him, he would talk of his past on occasion, I remember him talking about Lord Aurel, as he was Louis' maker. Louis never did seem fond of him, now that I recall...never talked about him much either...whenever he did it was always in reference...." ((*whew* looks like this was rather long also))

*Lune thought the name Louis DePointe felt rather familiar. Her father must have mentioned him once. Although she knew she had never met him.* "I have heard of Louis DePointe, but never met him...What did you do to him? Sorry, you don't have to tell me if you don't want to." *Therefore, switched subject* "Yes, I know what they do when they....make you... But I was born with my father's blood in my veins so I have always been like this. Mother told me that there was vampire blood in her family as well, but that is over 80 years ago and perhaps not something that have had it's effect on me. Although my mother once told me that I, power-wise, resembles more to a vampire than a witch. Although I can stand the sunlight, I don't really need to drink...you know...I can survive anyways. But I have to admit I find it really tempting. I am just as fast as you guys, but I'm not as strong. I hoped my magic would appear so I can defend myself in that way, but I..."*She looked down * "...I don't have any magical powers at all...I only have the ability to sense people, to hide and to make friends with animals." Mother must be really disappointed in me...*Lune looked up, smiling a little.* "So that's why I would like you to teach me. Can you teach me so I can become stronger? Could you teach me how to fight and act like a real...vampire...so when I meet my father again, I won't just be afraid and defenseless. If I'll ever meet him again that is." ((And here's another long one... ))

*Alandra didn't mind that Gabrielle had left with Lune, now she could think about what thought just came up in her mind*
Of course he could have killed them, he is known for it. But is it true, is he more then just a fable, could there be such a man...and would I dare to find out.
*Alandra stared into nothing, frowning her beautiful face and trying to make sense of rumors, fears and facts*
Under the Opera Building lives a man, they said. A man who can not be called such, for his soul is as black as the clothing he wears.....could these old wives talk be true...

Gabrielle grimiced, "Let's jsut say, I did what was nessacery to get away from him..." she hoped Lune would not want further details, seeing that she was related to Aurel, the last thing Gabrielle needed was for him to be after her. "You don't have to drink?" Gabrielle suddently asked, surprised. " Interesting, as for the sunlight, I can stand it in small quanities, and artificial light is fine, but I doubt I'll be sunbathing anything soon" she laughed quietly and then became serious, "as for helping you, I'm afriad I'm not even sure how I learned to become a 'vampire' in my behaivor. But I'll do my best" she smiled again. "Name the time and place. I wouldn't worry about your powers...I think if you used your ability with animals, you'd be surprised how much help it could be"

*Lune didn't really care that Gabrielle didn't want to tell her the whole story of waht she had done. She figured that it wasn't her business and she shouldn't bother about it.*
"Yeah, I don't have to drink...But as I said, it's really tempting. But I can survive without it."
*When hearing that Gabrielle agreed to help her, her face brightened up in a happy smile* "Thank you, Gabrielle! I promise I will do my best! I'll be a good student!" *she winked*
"How about I'll see you on the roof of the opera house at midnight?"
*Lune stood up, ready to leave*

Gabrielle couldn't help but laugh at Lune's obvious excietment. "sounds perfect!" she said, still grinning, "I'll see you there"

*Arielle bounces in, her shiny brown hair blowing in the wind like a model in a shampoo commercial. She almost runs into Lune, who is saying goodbye to a pretty blonde girl* Whoops, sorry Lune! Didn't mean to trip over you! *She laughs airily, then realizes she doesn't know the blonde girl's name* Oh, hi! I'm Arielle. What's your name? *She extends a dainty hand in a friendly way*

Gabrielle watched Lune's retreating back before her attention was grabbed by Arielle "oh!" she grasped her hand, "Gabrielle" she said.

*Arielle beams at Gabrielle* It's lovely to meet you! Do you work over at the Opera as well? *She notices Alandra sitting alone and waves* Oh! Hi, Alandra! *Grabbing Gabrielle's hand, she happily half-drags her over to the table where Alandra is sitting* I hope you don't mind if we butt in here! *Arielle notices Alandra's preoccupied expression* A penny for your thoughts, Alandra?

*Arielle's jaw drops as she turns to see the girl with the most amazing hair she has ever seen OFFERING HER COOKIES* Ohmigosh, wow! That's so sweet of you! *Points to an empty chair* Why don't you sit down? I'm Arielle, by the way. *She smiles sweetly managing somehow to keep her eyes off of the bag of cookies*

*giggles* "Thanks So much!" *places cookies on large serving place and produces gallon of milk from Big nanny bag that has suddenly been sighted at her side, although it was there the whole time.* "Arielle, what a pretty name! I'm Chamomile. Remember, how I did-am-was- offer-(ing) the necklaces for you and Kellie. ;D"
