Two Clubs One Night

[Joan "Adel" Madison]

As Ash parked the car she could feel her skin hum being so close to the club. Took a powerful witch to cast the spell over the club, she could feel the vibrations from it under her skin. At first she didn't feel it but after a while she could pin point it and ever since than she could feel it without trying much.

"You'll like it, the owner's pretty cool." Sliding out of the car she headed towards the club entrance, looking back to make sure Ash was following her. "Just don't stare at the demons alright? They don't like it."

Before going here she'd never seen a real demon before and was practically scared shitless when some one from the club informed her that it was rude to stare. Of course she was embarrassed because it was rude to stare but she couldn't help it.

I parked the car, locked my doors as we got out and had to jog to catch up to Adel. New smells were finding its way to me, it would have scared me a little bit if I didnt know what were getting into. "Yeah... You said she's a were too?" I had some questions that still needed answering, some stuff that google couldn't help me with. I had to remember not to stare. I had a feeling I wouldn't be able to help my self. "Have you talked to her before?"

((sorry it's a short post, I gotta go see my mom today >.<))

[Joan "Adel" Madison]

"No, well I mean sorta, I ordered some water but thats it," she said giving an awkward chuckle. "She's usually pretty busy. But there's lots of people inside from various backgrounds and what not... But I'm pretty sure she'd talk to you being a were and all."

Opening the doors the sounds that were previously snuffed out by the doors were now blaringly loud and busy, but you couldn't see anything from the entrance, because of the clientele of the club there was a man sitting in a chair with a clip board.

"Witch, and she's a were," Joan said to the guy who nodded, letting them in.

["Ash" Ashley Lee]

The smells attacked me, overwhelming me for a second, I tried to focus on any particular one, but everything seemed to bleed together. I grabbed Joan's shoulder for support while she talked to the guy sitting down. I didn't know what he was, but I could tell he wasn't human. "So I'm guessing no humans allowed?" My brain was everwhere when we stepped in. Vampires were the least of it. Demons with horns and gross mucus... I was a bit out of my leauge. I stepped closer to Joan, almost hiding behind her. Her earthy and fruity smell keep me anchored. I could even tell what kind of shampoo she used from here.

[Joan "Adel" Madison]

"Humans are allowed as long as they're accompanied by a regular," Joan explained. "The world knowing about demons and vampires being real? Not good." Humans liked thinking they were on the top of the food chain and as long as they did they didn't create havoc with the paranormal population. "Not all demons are bad and wouldn't want to get them caught in the cross fire as well as people like us who can pass for normal but clearly aren't by their 'rules'. Better they remain oblivious."

["Ash" Ashley Lee]

She made sense. I remembered finding out myself, and how I reacted. What would the entire world do if they came out of the closest, figuratively speaking. There would be witch hunts, and scientific experiments. I had a feeling it would be chaos. "Yeah. That makes sense." So I cowerd behind Adel, I could sense the other were, even among the crowd of demons and human look alikes. "So uhm.." I had to ask, because I was getting mixed signals from her. "How did your boyfriend react when you told him that you're a witch?" Her reaction to my question would tell me almost everything, if she had a boyfriend, or if she wasn't into guys.

[Joan "Adel" Madison]

"Don't have one," she shrugged. "My ex actually was the one to introduce me to the paranormal world. But I was always interested in the paranormal, you know? When he told me it just seemed to make sense and I decided I wanted to learn everything I could about them. But we decided to just be friends. We weren't a good match."

["Ash" Ashley Lee]

"Ex boyfriend, huh?" Well that was a bit of a disapointment. Adel was very intriging, and I wanted to get to know her better. I think she only kept talking to me because of the werewolf in me. Maybe I could try to turn things around? "Sometimes that happens. What's your type?" We made our way into the crowd, and found a table. The place was almost the complete opposite of the Spot. Where people there danced, and enjoyed them selves, most of the clients here were sitting and enjoying their beer, being lost in their own thoughts. I almost ordered a shot of whisky, but rememebered Adel didn't drink, from what I could tell so far.

[Joan "Adel" Madison]

"Not sure, haven't dated much. I've had only two boyfriends in the past. My first was kinda a dick and my latest just didn't seem like a nice fit. He was nice and all just not... 'right', if that makes any sense." She wasn't sure why they weren't a good match but it just didn't feel right, even it didn't make sense to her. Being in tune to the universe, she followed the signs as they came.

["Ash" Ashley Lee]

"I completly understand. I've been in that situation before." Of course, that may have been for a completly different reason "It's hard to believe that a nice, pretty girl like yourself has only dated two guys. Are they stupid?" One of my friends once told me that telling a straight girl how stupid guys are, they would turn gay. It's never worked for me, but I've seen it happen.

[Joan "Adel" Madison]

"Guys are guys, no more stupid or intelligent than any woman," she said simply, hiding a small grin. Alright, so at this point she was messing with her. "Don't you find labels annoying? Can't people just be people with out labeling everything about themselves?" People seemed WAY to obsessed with labeling themselves so they could fit in to a certain group but that wasn't her, she preferred to follow her own beat and let it take her to where the universe allowed.

["Ash" Ashley Lee]

That was definitely not the answer I was expecting. It made sense though. I had a feeling she was messing with me, but I wasn't completely sure. "Yeah, labels kinda suck, sometimes." I wasn't really asking her to label herself, I was more wondering if I had a shot. I could care less what she called herself. She had to know what I was getting at to bring up the labels thing, because other than that, it was almost random. I looked up, almost forcing eye contact with her. Alright. I'll play your game I smirked.

[Joan "Adel" Madison]

"They do," she said, watching Ashley with interest. "You're smiling." So this could be more fun than she thought. Meeting Ash's eyes with her own she leaned back, stretching her arms over her head. "So what do you think? About the club?" Looking over the club she could see lots of people, demons, vampires and other creatures talking amongst themselves while the music played in the background.

["Ash" Ashley Lee]

My smirk grew into a smile, and I almost laughed. "Sorry." I was teasing her. "Didn't know smiling was against the law." I followed her lead, and looked around, and I shrugged. "It's... different, but I think it's cool. Like... I could get used to this." The music was really chill compared to what I was used to, but it was an intire chill atmosphere. "It makes me feel like less of a freak..."

[Joan "Adel" Madison]

"Last I checked it wasn't illegal, I was only pointing out the fact that you were smiling. It suits you," she smiled back, chuckling lightly to herself. "Well, you're hardly a freak. I could never think of anyone as a freak for what they are. A werewolf is no different than a witch, besides the obvious. We're human. We feel emotions, pain, love, hope."
