Alexander, after having made a detour to grab a shotgun parked near the train station, waiting for Herr Bauer to arrive to point of rendez-vous. The shotgun was in his back, in a holster. At his side, an other holster holding a gun, and two stakes were ready at his belt. He waited in the shadows, looking around him, wary of his surroundings, extending his senses to scan the area.

The area seamed dead. Literally dead as there we no people around and weird creatures' sounds were heard, no regular birds or animals as Alexander could imagine, or that is only paranoia. Noone showed yet either.

@Anue/AlexandriaAt some point the car of Frederick was a bit lost in the area, but it was pretty obvious he was heading to the old train station.

Alexandria made sure her beloved Dodge Charger crept along, her head lights turned off as she followed Frederick's vehicle. Quite a dangerous place, but it seemed to fit a somewhat dangerous person. She stretched her neck, looking over her steering wheel. She remembered her Sire had taught her a few things, especially having to do with one of her Disciplines: Auspex. Utilizing her abilities she attempted to 'see' if anyone was present, and enhanced her vision to do so. (edited)

Surprisingly enough on the first glance the surroundings dimmed and a very mildly blinking aura appeared right next to one of the one-storey buildings. From what she could remember that would be very similar to a human aura, but it seemed very, very weak, barely visible. Or was that an illusion? The second glance was a bit more far from there, a pale silhouette popped and disappeared in a moment.

Alexandria's eyebrows shot up in surprise, and immediately got out her stakes and bear mace from a couple of hidden compartments in her car. She eased into a full stop, and set the alarm on it before quickly rushing off to the weakened aura.

The way through the old bases of railway carriages was not easy even walking and not possible to cross by car. So after a smart move to walk towards the aura, Alexandria could even hear the weakest breathing with a little whistling. Coming closer under one if the carriages she could find a man. Seemed like a teenager in school uniform jacket. Thin, with almost blue skin out of his condition. At the closest range she could smell the remainders of the smell of blood.

Bending down, she looked over the boy, but felt like she wouldn't be able to carry him. Instead, she knew this may be something she may have to answer for later, but she didn't have any medical supplies whatsoever. She wouldn't be able to assess him properly under the current circumstances. And if she needed, she could vouch and make him a retainer if need be. She found his lips, bit her tongue, and transferred some blood to him in the hope it would save his life, even at the cost of her own. (edited)

The guy didn't move at first, but then his lips started to move, he even raised a bit like he was about to kiss Alexandria. Well... Maybe he would?

Alexandria tenderly lifted his head and thanked her old gods, kissing him on the forehead, "You get to live another night under the stars, young one, but for right now, we need to get you out of here and in a safe place." She grasped him by the shoulders, and tried helping him slowly to his feet, "Easy, easy does it! Don't get up too quick or you might fall. There we are!" (edited)

The guy still tried to reach the blood, but barely could cope not to do anything stupid. Alexandria saw him slowly hiding his fangs. Instinctively that was hell of a surprising self-control. She could see the hunger in is eyes. When they got out of the undercarriage under the poor light of the hidden moon he seemed hardly beaten with lots of blood remainders over his clothes. - I... I... - he tried to gulp air, but it seemed so unnatural. He slowly stood up with the woman's help.

Gingerly, she lifted him, regarding his new countenance, now that he was practically Embraced. Heavier consequences to her actions framed her mind, but at the very least, she would do her very best to make sure he would be kept safe and properly introduced to the Prince. Empathy overflowed in waves towards him, as she dusted him off, and looked him over. Whatever wounds were present dissipated with her blood flowing inside of him, and she smiled, "Take your time, this world is dark and filled with secrets dipped in velvet, but we need to make like the shadows and come away." (edited)

He seemed overwhelmed with strange feelings, his thin figure rushed forward with the great hope on his face. He still tried to breathe, but it had more of humiliating look. Alexandria could notice there are no actual wounds left, just the traces and some dirt.

A reciprocal look of compassion filled Alexandria's warm eyes as she looked at her new Childe, fully embracing him, a flood of warmth overwhelming her being. She took him in and grasped him as if he were the last of her line, calming him as best she could given the circumstances. "Calmete, ijo, no need to breathe anymore since we're already passed. But come with me, and let's obscond to better pastures, away from this desolate place. We don't know who may have their eyes on us, dear one." Alexandria gently grasped his hand, and led him to her car, gingerly settling him into the passenger's seat. And she into the driver's portion. (edited)

Alexander has gone out from the shadows, wary of the talks between the vampire and her newborn progeny. He was wearing a mask, and had a shotgun in his right hand. He looked at the two without a word. "And who might you be, prey or just passersby?" he thought to himself, before trying to see their aura.

Auras definitely were pale. Vampires it seemed. Alexandria felt something... Strange like this presence was known before. Maybe it is the aura she had seen just recently. Frederick from where he could be definitely could hear some talks from Alexandria.

Well, Bauer sees Alexander and Alexandria with some other person, he draws his gun out.

Pointing his shotgun at the ground, Alexander advances toward the car. Toward the woman in the driver's seat, tapping the window with their index two times.

Alexandria was surprised, and immediately, didn't know what to do as she let her new progeny buckle into his seat, "I don't think this gentleman means any harm to us, dear one, but I will be remiss if I didn't try to charm him into our good favors." Wearily she observed him, and concern furrowed her brow. Part of her instincts told her to immediately speed off, since she didn't entirely know this person wielding a double barrel shotgun. Against her better judgement, she gave her new Childe a comforting smile, and decided to engage with the gun-toting gentleman tapping on her window. "One moment, one moment..." Making sure she put on her most charming smile, she beamed up at the rough, young man with the double-barrell shotgun. Her smile was soft, gentle, alluring and especially, congenial. She slowly rolled down her window, and worked her best angle. "Good evening, how many I help you?" (edited)

Alexander stared at her trough his mask before talking a cold, low and patient voice. "Good evening. I'm currently invetigating the area, and I was wondering what other kindreds were doing there. You don't look like the type to roam in abandonned train-station, and I was wondering if I could ask you what you're doing here..." he said, posing a hand on the top of the car. "Who you are..." he continued, as he leaned his head further into the window. "And where are you friends ?" he finished, as he hit slightly the doorcar with this shotgun barrel.

The guy in the car tried to disappear but obviously it didn't work. He leaned to the chair staring at men with guns. And then to Alexandria.

Alexandria regarded him. She was a little intimidated by the fact that his masked face was really close to hers now. The shotgun clinked a little against her car door, and she felt her body tense. But she remained as congenial as ever, willing herself to be as calm as possible. She brushed off the fact that she didn't know this man, but was willing to cooperate as soon as he mentioned the words 'Kindred' and 'investigation' in the same sentence. "Well, I had been driving by, and I just happened to find this young man over here, and he seemed to be injured. So I tried saving him, as any decent person would do. But I'm not so inclined to give you my name without knowing yours," she tilted her head slightly, but didn't give any more space between them both; she stood her ground, since it was her car after all. (edited)

"I thank you for your details. You can call me Montferrier. So if I understand, the young one was here first. Could you possibly tell me what happen, mister? I don't want anything that happened to you happening to anyone else." Montferrier had still his hand on the gun, but seemed to loose up a bit, less formal. But still had a gun.

Baure goes up to Monrefier, "what the heck is going on?"*

The guy looked again at Alexandria and finally spoke with a very low voice. - I... Was a part of a group. Megs brought us here with some other people. I don't know what happened, I just remember they got crazy and this dickheads from football team bit me up... Damn. I knew the idea to go to a "party" sounded too suspicious... He was pretty messy with his memory, but the situation also was not the best. He was very tense.

Montferrier looked at Bauer, raising his left hand, the right always holding the shotgun low. "Seems that a new person was embraced by the Sabbat. I'm on the lead of the pack, seems to be yougters from Uni. I've founded them a bit after arriving there. You know the lady ?" he asked, before looking at the boy. "Listen, I'll try my best to help you. But I'll need to take a sample of your blood, and tell me the name of this girl, Meg. Anything I can use to find her. Do you agree to help me, mister?" he said, trying to be as nice to him as possible, going to his side of the car and sheathing his shotgun.

@Alexander Montferrier (@Slinar [Alexander Montferrier]) - jump "Why Sabbats cant just choose some crack heads from the fucking street... Scheise mich" he says.

Alexandria regarded the boy and then back at the now, two gentlemen standing outside her car doors. One big and rough-looking, Frederick if she remembered correctly, and this one, Montferrier with the mask. Not wanting to delay, she felt very uncomfortable with the idea of giving them her blood, or that of her Childe's blood. Her heart twisted into knots, her stomach doubly so, as she tried to maintain her air of authority over her own personal space. She scrunched up her pretty features, reluctantly holding out her finger. "We do not have much choice if the Sabbat are involved, dear one. We should cooperate in the spirit of mutual benefit: one, they can have a sample, but the other? In good faith, safe passage, one would hope," Nodding at the boy to do the same for the masked man on the other side of the car door, she bit her lip watching the both of them as carefully as she could. She had her cell phone in her small purse, but she kept quiet, watching them like a hawk, should they do anything remotely stupid. (edited)

The guy opened the window and pulled out his hand carefully and still tense in his feelings. The mask of tremere frightened him not less then the big guy with the gun. Not a lot of choice.

Montferrier made a small cute with his nails accross the wrist of the young cainite, then touching the blood and putting his finger in front of him, looking at the bloody tip, before putting his finger beneath his mask.

14:46

"So what was the name of the girl, mister? What's your name also? And was she the one who killed you?"

14:48

He said, as he go to Alexandria and took her wrist if she allowed it to do the same ritual.

Alexander Montferrier

He said, as he go to Alexandria and took her wrist if she allowed it to do the same ritual.

Alexandria held out her wrist to accommodate the masked Montferrier. Curious, her eyes flicked from her Childe who she wanted to protect more than anything, but tried to comfort him with her words, "We have so much to talk about, dear one, but just bear with it a little longer until we can satisfy these two, and what they need from their investigation."

@Anue/Alexandria - jump "Really interesting. Congratulations for your new flower." he whispered.

He is just deathstaring the poor guy like if he was a sabbat bishop

"I thank you, truly. Despite the circumstances being as unusual as ever, I'm happy to save him from this unsavory place," Alexandria observed Montferrier closely, and shot Frederick a glare of her own, trying to protect her new Bud. (edited)

- D-David Willis, - he finally mumbled, - the girl who brought us here is Megan. She's one of the cheerleaders in our campus. They, - he painfully closed his eyes, - they beat me, and left here to die. Then he looked at Alexandria as his hero. - She saved my life...

"I see that... If you ever need me, there is my number." he said before giving them a piece of paper with a phone number on it. "I'm going to investigate this monster and her flock, and bring them to justice. Any idea of where they could be now ? Could they still be here?"

"Children can be cruel...and this level of bullying is unwarranted. I am furious with their barbaric behavior, and their crude natures should be disciplined, thoroughly: but what they did as a group to this poor soul...he was so close to death and then actually died!" Alexandria accepted the piece of paper after her wrist healed, and turned to David, gently tilting her head and giving him a quick embrace. (edited)

She supposed it would be a good moment to comply with their earlier request, and decided to divulge her name, "My name is Alexandria Straussborg...and yes, as you have guessed earlier, a Rose." (edited)

"An other Alex. We should form a club, give me a call sometimes." he said, smiling beneath his mask.

Alexander Montferrier

"An other Alex. We should form a club, give me a call sometimes." he said, smiling beneath his mask.

"A club? I guess I'll be sure to join at some point once I get to know you more? I do quite a bit with finance, if you need any help," Alexandria smiled, but clasped David's hand, trying to comfort her Childe. Maybe herself as well. Regardless, she nodded, and tilted her head over at Frederick.

- I-I am not sure, maybe at home. She hosted a party about a week or two ago. Then there were rumors that a few students disappeared... She has rich parents, so that's what she did a lot. He gently squeezed Alexandria's hand and then pet her returning the gesture.

Alexandria smiled gently at David, "Oh, mi ijo, you're so precious! I will cut their purse strings as soon as I learn their last name. Their credibility could be destroyed and all their finances to ruin, at your word, Dear David, but we should think rationally, and plan this out exceptionally well, to send them a message, either way!" Alexandria reassured David, rubbing her Childe's back as a warm gesture.

"I think you can go your way now." Montferrier said, before looking at Frederic. "I'm going to search the area, you in ?" he said, before going into the abandonned train station and swipping there and there, searching for clues, using his heigtened senses.

- Thank you sir, - he took a card carefully. After Alexandria's support he definitely started to look a bit more confident. Even put his hand gently at his sire's waist.

Alexandria grinned, waving at the two that retreated into the sultry dark of their search, dissipating into shadow from sight. She turned on her car lights, feeling a very familiar hand around her waist, and revving the engine so it vibrated across their bodies. The Toreador's smile matched the ferocious roar of her engine, eyeing David's arm in the most graciously, predatory manner imaginable. She cooed at David, tracing a manicured nail along his jawline, ending on his lips. "I will show you so much, and more, mi amor, let us go home!" With that she pulled out of the winding roads of the old train station back to their haven. (edited)
