The pen made scratching noises as it was drawn idly in an unending spiral around the paper, guided by ink-splashed fingers; a stark contrast between black ink and unnaturally pale skin. The spiral turned ended in a splotch, as the pen abruptly stopped, and the girl holding looked up from where she had been intently staring at the paper. Her black-brown eyes were knowing, and there was no doubt that she saw what she was coming. And there was no doubt that it had left her without hope.
In the year 1776, there was revolution. In the year 1787, there was a permanent form of government. In which all men, save for those who were of African descent (though that was fixed in 186 cool and women (fixed in 1923), were created and treated equally. But there were those who were forgotten. They were the outcasts.
They weren't human, per se. But they were close enough to pass for them. They were close enough to live among them. But they could never be one of them; they could never be accepted. And so they were forced to live on the very outskirts of society, forging a living where they could. And for some time, they held a sort of tenuous prosperity.
Then came the shifts. The outcasts found that they could travel between times, or possibly it was alternate worlds. But there is always a price to pay for such a convenience. Slowly, as they traveled, the outcasts forgot who they had once been; a proud race forced to yield to the majority. And they became the monsters that they have become, unsure of exactly when they are, and only aware of their hunger. Or rather, their thirst.
Yeah, I'm a big one for creating my own stories. And often melding together the stories of others to create something to my own tastes. This one, if you're really curious, is a blend of some of Anne McCaffrey's short stories concerning time storms, various vampire books, The Outsiders, and the short story called Marrow. I forget who wrote that one.
So yes, the outcasts are time-traveling vampires. Don't ask "why" when it comes to this story. There never is a reason, when it comes to me. That's just the way that things will be.
Just let me lay down some rules, and whoever so chooses may get started.
1. DO NOT SPAM / ONE-LINE!!! This bothers me even more than GMing and PPing. Which is saying something. If you don't have something productive to say, don't say anything at all.
2. Don't GM or PP. Duh.
3. YES, they are vampires. NO, they are not seductive, beautiful creatures like Anne Meyer's vampires. No sexy-ness left in them, 'kay?
4. Be literate. I'm a stickler for that, thankee kindly.
5. Other rules at my discretion.
Time period for story in a future American society. I'm a sci-fi girl, what can I say? The country has some bearing on the story. Otherwise, just make intros. NO LISTS! I don't like character apps, though I do reserve the next two posts for a list I'll make of all characters, and for my own intro.

Riku walked through the shadows of an abandoned house that she called home. She looked out the window and thought about leaving but was unsure if it was the safe thing to do at the time. She had just killed a child by mistake and the townspeople were hunting her down. She heard a noise in the distance. one that sounded like a group of people walking. She ducked down. "I can't hide here forever...." she said in a quiet voice.

Kiamo sat at a rikety old table reading a book in his house with his sister, Aido. She was looking out the window at the sleepy village at the bottom of the mountainside and swiftly turned to her brother. "Why do vampires live seperatly from humans?" She asked him, turning to the window again.
" Because we are different from them, they would kill us if we went into that village." He said solemnly closing his book. " We've gone over that already..." He got up and walked across the room to the old book case. He blew some of the dust away and put his book back. "We'd better close the curtains," He said gently holding his sisters shoulders,"The sun will be coming up soon, and I'm tired..." he said, turning her around. Aido nodden and walked into her room and closed the door. Kiamo closed the old tattered curtains to the only two windows in the house. Then, he too walked into his room and closed the door, crawling into his bed and drifting off to sleep.

Riku looked out the window behind her and saw that the sun was going to come up soon. She stood up and ran out the door past the humans that were trying to kill her. "s**t!" She yelled as the sun began to rise. She made it to an old looking house and ran in. She looked around knowing that it wasn't her house.

Kiamo woke up to a crash in their front door. He looked to Aido who was still asleep. He stretched and yawned, his fangs glistening in the candle light. He rubbed his eyes and got up. He walked out the door and scratched the back of his head. " No, Aido don't get up... it's probably just some human trying to kill us again... Honestly, that girl could sleep through a war if it didn't invo-" He stopped mid sentence and looked at the girl.
" Hello there..." He knelt down beside her. " And you would be, who?" He asked trying to remain as calm as possible. Hearing her brother, Aido woke up. She stretched as well and walked out of the room. She rubbed her eyes and looked at her brother. "What are you looking at Kiamo..." She said leaning on his head. " Well, we have an un-expected visitor..." he said standing up.

Riku was breathing heavily she looked up at the two people "uh..." she sighed and looked outside seeing that the humans were looking around for her. "s**t." She looks up at the boy and girl "I'm...Riku. Sorry. Didn't know anyone lived here."

Kiamo held out his hand for the girl. " C'mon get up... you shouldn't lie on the ground like that..." He said smiling and showing just the tips of his fangs. Aido was looking out the window. "Who are they?" She said pointing to the people outside. Kiamo walked over to the window ~ s**t...~ He closed the curtains and dimmed the candles even more. " Adio, come over here..." Kiamo said sitting at the rickety old table " So your Riku... and do you know those two out there?" He asked, playing with his hair.

She took his hand and stood up. "thank you." She looked out the window. "they think I killed their kid. They found her dead in a cave that I used to live in." She looked at the ground "their trying to kill me" She looked up and sighed "again..."

Kiamo shook his head. " Why do humans ALWAYS blame vampires fo- wait are you a vampire?" He said questioningly. Aido just sat there playing with the purple ends of her hair.

"Yep!" Aido said excitedly "I thought we we're the only ones... we haven't seen hide nor hair of a vampire in ages!" she said, spinning. " My sister, as you could tell, has the mind of a thirteen year old... even though she's eighteen..." Kiamo sighed. He heard banging on the door. "Open up! We know vampires live here... come out and we'll kill you!!" One of the angry men said. Kiamo got up and walked to the door and opened it a crack. "Now that doesn't give us much reason to come out now... does it..." His black eyes turned bright red as he stepped outside.
" The sun won't be coming up too soon... I can still step foot outside..." Kiamo smirked and his long black hair turned a stark white. Aido stopped spinning and grabbed Riku's arm, pulling her into her room. "D-don't go out there... I h-hate it when he gets like t-this..." She started to shiver. She turned to Riku, her eyes big. "He's going to kill them..." She said in a scared tone.
"Y-You... what are you doing!?" The humans asked, so scared they fell to the ground. Kiamo knelt down beside them " Don't worry... this'll only hurt for a second..."
"What are you doing... no... NOOOOOO!!!!!!" one of them screamed. The other had already run off, realizing he wasn't going to live. Kiamo got up and walked back inside. Aido heard the door slam and someone fall to the floor. She ran out of the room and saw Kiamo covered in blood, on the floor, unconcious. Aido still looked scared, but got up and looked out the window... she saw a crowd of people forming at the edge of the town and one of the men that was chasing Riku on the ground outside in a puddle of blood, dead.

Aido dragged him into his room and put him on his bed. She pushed the hair out of his face and looked at him and then to Riku. "He just gets like that sometimes... It scares me..." She said wiping the blood off his mouth.

She sighs then looks at the blood on the floor. She gets some on her finger and puts it in her mouth. She smiles then shakes her head. "it's...it's fine I guess. I mean I don't even know you all so who am I to tell you what not to do."
