There really was nothing like it. Health risks and calories aside this dinner was more then amazing. Nothing was better then plate full of food. It was even better when those foods happened to be some of his favorites. Mac and cheese was something that Zach had regarded an art form. Only few had been able to accomplish the prefect amount of creamy richness that made the cheese acceptable to even combine with the soften tan tubes of goodness. Each bite needed to melt in your mouth, sending your tastes bud off into a dance that could only continue with another bite. Then there was the steak fingers, something he had missed growing up in Texas. Theses breaded, salted, peppery, juicy little fingers went great with a bit of gravy and mashed potatoes. Most importantly you needed a warm roll to dab up the traces of food on your place until it looked brand new. There really was nothing like number seventeen on the menu of The Falls Cafe. Comfort food was really an understatement.
After boxing up a slice of Pecan pie he was out the door with a smile and on his way home. He didn't feel as bad eating the meal of his choice since walking back to his apartment was really the only opinion he had at this point. Zach had, had a quite and enjoyable sunday evening and really all he wanted to do was head come and get to bed. There was of course that little voice in the back of his mind that wanted to explore the bar he had been passing for the last four months. Looking down at the small styrofoam box in his hands he gave a sigh and strolled into the bar. It probably wasn't going to hurt to have an after dinner cocktail. He did feel slightly awkward holding a take home box but he was sure most people were too drunk to care. Taking a seat he placed his order before looking around. Hopefully this wouldn't take too long. This would be just one drink. Just one. |

*Her eyes fell on the man who had just entered and sat himself at the bar. It was a bit strange for him to bring a carryout box into a cafe and she smiled at this a bit as she ate.

Zack had just finished his drink when he noticed a young girl sitting alone at one of the tables. There really was no reason someone so young should be in a place like that alone at night. It was not so much to place as it was the people that were out there, not to mention the kinds of things that happened to be roaming around Jamerson Falls. Placing his tip in the jar he stood up and made his way over to the girl with a slight smile. "Your not here by yourself are you?" he said with a bit of worry in his voice. Was she new to the area? Did she realize what kinds of things happened to be out there? "It's a little late. Don't you have school or something? Did your parents bring you here?"
Zach didn't mean to sound mean, but he was sure he often came off as that. He never really know how to approach children. Then again he wasn't the best when it came to every day conversations with co workers. Her was not one to talk unless he found it extremely necessary. He was much more of a people watcher then anything. "I mean I'm not trying to sound mean or anything...it's just its almost 1." Her said looking at his watch and then back at the bar. |

She had completely stopped paying attention to him for a moment and didn't know he was there. She blushed deeply before blinking up at him at his question* Yeah, I am actually *She didn't see the harm in telling the truth. She had her first phase so it wasn't like she was completely helpless. Besides, Ever knew this part of town from her days wandering alone, before she met Emile. She didn't really feel as threatened being out as the man thought she should*
*When the man asked about her parents is when Ever started biting her lip a bit. How would she explain her situation when she didn't really understand it yet much either.* No...they're home. I was just out walking. *Yeah, at one am...Ever had no idea it was that late until the man pointed it out to her. Damn, she hoped she wouldn't be in trouble when she got back. *
*Ever pushed her chair back and slowly got to her feet, really not knowing where else to go or what else to do but she felt obligated to make the man think she was going home. He seemed worried about her for some reason* um...I had no idea it was so late. *She tried to give the man a reassuring smile but Ever was never really so great at lying or being deceptive in anyway so she probably wasn't doing such a great job at being convincing now.* I guess i should go back now. *In reality Ever was anything but ready to go back to the den. She was still very uncomfortable there and with Levi gone and Em being so withdrawn she just didn't know what to do with herself when she was around there anymore. No matter what the time was, it was easier for the little girl to wander than it was to go home. She waved a bit at the man, planting a smile on her face before she walked out and started down the sidewalk with no real destination in mind. She was just going to walk.* [/style][style=margin-top: 3px; border-top: 1px dashed blue; text-align: center; font-size: 8px]made by gimmick/echo of OtE, TB, and MR[/style] |

Zach wasn't going to lie it looked slightly creepy for someone like him to be following a little girl like that, especially after the fact that she had left but he was worried and he would have probably got blamed if something did happen tp her. The last thing that Zach wanted was to get sued. Being the logical person zach was, his mind raced with all the probable things that happen to someone so young at 1am and none of them seemed pleasant. Looking around for a few seconds after Eve left Zach walked out outside calmly trying not to draw attention to himself.The last thing he needed was someone to call the police on him because they thought he was some kind of sicko. That risk was something he was willing to take.
Zach scanned the area for any signs of Eve.When he caught sight of her his pace picked up a little. He was trying to be discrete but at the same time he was a little bit tempted to call out to her and try to understand what exactly was going on. Judging by her movements she didn't really have a set place in mind. To him that wasn't a good sign. Danger seemed to follow those that went exploring...or at least that was what happened in all the movies. Curiosity killed the cat probably wasn't just a saying without reason. His own safety hadn't even crossed his mind until he felt that he was being followed. Zach tensed slightly. A low growl surfaced around him before he found himself stumbling back into the wall completely forgetting about Eve altogether. There was a blur and then a pain in his left leg that made him crumble to the ground in agony. Whatever it was ran off into the distance. Was that just a dog? Why did this bite feel like his skin was melting off? |

*She kept walking, trying to act oblivious to the man walking a few paces behind her but that was like trying to pretend that you couldn't hear someone talking about you in the room you were in. It never worked.*
*Ever was about to round another corner to see if she could shake him when she heard the growl. Giving an instinctive sniff to the air, Ever realized that there was another were around and this one didn't sound friendly or like the type to blend in. This was definitely a rogue.*
*Ever turned as quick as she could towards the noise, scanning the almost empty streets but she couldn't spot it. Wherever it was it was hidden but then Ever realized that she didn't see her little stalker either. Fear hit the little girl like a ton of bricks and she raced back in the direction of the cafe. She didn't get very far when she picked up on the fresh scent of blood mixed with were saliva. Oh shit! *She thought to herself as she raced to the man, instantly kneeling down and examining the bite. Ever was already too late. Panicked, she looked around frantic, not knowing what to do*[/style][style=margin-top: 3px; border-top: 1px dashed blue; text-align: center; font-size: 8px]made by gimmick/echo of OtE, TB, and MR[/style] |

"You need to call 911...." he said with a strained voice of pain as he looked into her eyes. "Please call them." she said closing his eyes as he took a few deep breaths trying to dig through his pocket for his cell, he almost nearly dropped it trying to hand it to her as his body began to shake. Was he having a allergic reaction? whatever it was it wasn't good and he knew that this wasn't going to get any better he needed medical attention and fast. Confusion and pain was all he felt...everything that was happening around him seemed more like a dream then anything.
The throbbing pain in his leg was enough to almost make him puke up all he had eaten before...his stomach was turning but thankfully he was able to hold himself together."Why is it so hot?" he said, his voice a little horse, as he leaned against the wall. He could feel his temperature rising along with her heart rate. He was convinced at this point that he was going to die. This little girl was witnessing a horrible thing. He should have stayed put...but then again this could have been her. Sweat began to drip off his face as he took a few deep breaths. He opened his eyes again to see Eve face as just a blur now. "I'm going to die....you need to get someone else...you don't need to be put through this type of trauma. I promise you." he said trying to almost demand her away. It was an awkward situation. He was in so much pain that it was hard to hide his tears but at the same time he was trying to be strong. |

She knew that she couldn't call for help. No one could help the man now that the venom was taking hold.*
*Everleigh couldn't remember her own transformation at all and seeing this man suffer was killing her. She wouldn't leave though. She couldn't do that to him. Leaving him alone right now was the worst thing she could think of doing. She found herself reaching out and placing each of her small hands on either side of the man's face. He would find that he and Ever were the same temperature. She hoped that would be a comforting thing to the man.*
You're not going to die. I promise you won't. *And it was true. She knew he wouldn't die but he was changing and there was nothing she could do for him. Everleigh wondered if she could use the link to help the man. She wondered if telling Arrow or even Brent would help this man at all. She had no idea but she had to try.*
*Everleigh stepped back and closed her eyes, trying to focus. She wasn't even thinking about the fact that she wasn't supposed to be where she was right now. The only thing that Everleigh focused on was helping the shifting man.* Arrow....Brent....I need help...PLEASE. A rogue attacked a human. *Ever had no idea if that would even work but at least she had given it her best effort. Everleigh was at least grateful that the man was starting to lose consciousness. She really hoped that he wouldn't notice that she hadn't called 911 and wouldn't blame her for not helping him later. She was trying her best. She really was.*[/style][style=margin-top: 3px; border-top: 1px dashed blue; text-align: center; font-size: 8px]made by gimmick/echo of OtE, TB, and MR[/style] |

Zach was struggling to breath as his chest felt like it was swelling. His whole body tingled and began to go numb as the pain spread up from his leg. The venom was sinking in faster and faster and unknown to him he was starting to make the transition from man to were. Hints of gold were now showing up in his eyes as he looked into Eve. His body temperature rose and his nostrils began to flare slightly finding the new array of smell to be almost overwhelming to him. Zach figured the the adrenaline was kicking in and now his scenes were even more heightened as his body went into defense mode.
He could feel the warm touch of Eve's hand on his cheek. If he wasn't mistaken he could have sworn that she was burning up too but soon the feeling was gone as his own temperature finally evened out and the once foreign and hot touch of eve seemed normal. As his vision was quickly fading he found himself leaning against the wall fighting to stay alive. "You're not going to die. I promise you won't." The words seemed sincere and without hesitation as if the girl knew something that Zach didn't. His breathing slowed as he found himself able to finally let go and drift off into sleep. The pain was just too much. |
