I was so tired. I had been searching for days in every place i could think that they might, with no luck. So i entered the bar tiredly, remembering what my guardians had taught me about place like these- somewhere to relax. They had also warned me of their dangers... but honestly right now i couldn't care less. I walked in, and immediately wrinkled my nose. The place smelt strange- of smoke and... something else. I looked around at the variety of people here, and made my way to the bar. People were dancing a little way off, and i smiled- at least that i was familiar with. I sat on one of the high stools, and ordered a glass of water... which got me some odd looks. In fact, many people were looking at me. I frowned, and looked down at my clothes- dark jeans, high heeled black boots, and a black lacy sort of tshirt over a strappy top- i'd seen them and thought they were pretty... and they weren't much different from what anyone else was wearing, so why did they keep looking at me? Esspecially men. I frowned, and sipped my water.

I entered the spot and went straight to a corner booth, only pausing at the bar to grab the beer the barman started pulling the second i walked in. Dressed all in dark clothes again, as i had been since the events of a couple of weeks back, i sipped my drink, and surveyed the scene. Several vamps hadn't notice me enter, there was a group of demons in the corner, and at the bar... huh, new girl. I could feel... something from her- power, but i couldn't say what. And she was attracting alot of attention from both the human and demon populace.
"Huh." I murmured, raising one eyebrow.

A woman entered, seeming very sure of herself and familiar with the place- i got the strangest feeling when she past me. And now she was watching me- well thats unnerving. I tried desperately to ignore her, and went back to my water. God it tasted boring... but i knew nothing of these other drinks, and my guardians had said... i sighed inwardly. My guardians my guardians my guardians. Im seventeen years old, i can make my own decisions.
"Excuse me!" I said to the barman. "May i have a beer?" Its what i had heard most people asking for. He smirked, amused.
"ID?"
"Huh?"
"ID? You dont look 21."
"Oh. No." I replied, deflated.

"Oh, erm, hi." I said, a little startled. I hadn't spoken to all that many people in this world, but those i had, or tried to, had not be so forthright. And 'kid'? she didn't look much older than me. I could tell she was trying to work out waht exactly i was, and found myself doing the same- she didn't feel like anything i had ever encountered before, in this world or the one in which id grown up. How strange...

It's amazing what you can see from a skylight. From where I was standing, the vampires were easy to spot; they were the ones that wanted everything now. Everything meaning the victim.
I was stalking a particular vampire, known for forcing his victims into...doing things they don't want to before draining them.
And then there was this new girl.
There was something about her. what, I wasn't sure. But I'd be keeping an eye on her. Just in case.

"Haven't seen you around here before" I said curiously. "So,what's your name and where do you come from". I asked with a grin. I could tell she was no demon now, but I was pretty sure she wasn't from this dimension.

I couldn't help but smile, "My name... people call me Vala. And... I'm not from around here."
The girl grinned as if she had known that already.
"And... you are?" I asked.

"Wondering if you're completely clueless or just doing a real good act." I cut in, walking up from behind her. "Hey Peps." I greeted the younger girl. The newbie looked at me in confusion.
"I'm Maya." I siad, and about half the populace of this bar is looking at you as if you're the main course."

"So?" I snapped before i could stop myself. Her careless tone irritated me immediately. But my guardians had told me that people in this world would be more helpful if i was polite. So why did this woman looked almost... impressed? at my reply?
"So?" She repeated.
"So what? It's not as if i havent dealt with a vampire or two before."

I walked into the bar, half dragging Tucker behind me. He had barely been out recently and had been instead moping around reading comic books like a little puppy, moaning that the course of true love never runs smooth. Dork.
Nearly ran at the barman to hug him. Can't remember his name, there were always too many new guys, but I loved them all the same. He smirked as we walked up to the bar and handed me a Smirnoff Ice
"Welcome back."
Grinning I took a sip, "Thanks sweetie." I nudged Tucker with my elbow and when he grumpily didn't reply I gave a sigh. "And a coke for the Dark Knight over there."
Almost immediately after getting drinks I noticed Maya, Pepper and, dear god, another new girl. Did this city just attract the majority of the supernatural female population? Or did guys just not go in for the whole LA scene. Pathetic
"...haven't dealt with a vampire or two before."
Yep. Supernatural
"Who hasn't?" I added as I sat down. "Plus very unavoidable in this day and age, total pain." I took another sip. "I'm Nicki, the silent pain in the arse behind me is Love Sick Tucker and you are?"

"Seeing's you know the know about vamps and the not so nice fluffy bunnies around here, I better introduce you," I started off. I was right, this girl wasn't normal.
"I'm Pepper. Queen of my spirit dimension, and of shapeshifters, and...er, lets just say my hobbies are kicking evil souls asses to hell. Literally. Mai? The rest of the honours?"

I looked her over, taking in more than just physical appearance. I carefully scanned her mental and sorta spiritual being, not in any sort of intrusive way- Doc had taught me long ago that that could piss a guy off, but just checking. SHe seemed ok, so i half smiled,
"Like i said- i'm Maya. Wicca, Slayer, demon ass kicker. And this fine lady is Nicki, Witch and werewolf all rolled into one... And thats Tucker." I raised my glass of beer to her, finishing with, "Welcome to the insanity and depression that is LA."
Nicki shot me an odd sideways glance, but i shrugged, hey, i tell it as i find it.
