[[Nighttime, in a rather out-of-the-way area of the forest surrounding Battle Ground Lake.]]
Mala paused in her running and slumped. d**n rat. She wasn't even sure she knew where she was anymore... Though she was pretty sure she could see the edge of the lake a little ways to her right. She straightened up and looked around. "Odie! Come back here, you brat!" She groaned in horror as she realized she had lost track of the little white and brown fur ball. Granted, it was lucky she was able to track him this far... Mala slid off the plush, backpack-style 'rat pouch' in which she had stuffed Oreo, and hung it on a tree. "You'll pay for this, you little nuts! I'll get a cat! Yeah! I'll get TWO cats! And I just might leave your cage unlocked, too!" As she shouted out these empty threats, Mala dropped to her hands and knees, shuddering slightly as she barely missed aggravating a large spider, and started creeping and searching through the ground over and leaf litter. "Oooddiiiiee..." She called out, lighter now. It was time to try bargaining. Again. "C'mon out, my little whiskery friend... I'll give you a treat! C'mon.. I'll give you all kinds of raspberries, and strawberries, and peaches, and every yummy, sugary fruit-stuff you can think of.. C'mon! I'll even throw in a few honey roasted cashews if you hurry up," she cooed,her eyes narrowed and her brows furrowed in an ugly expression despite her affectionate cooing.
((There. It's good enough. Have fun. ^.^; ))

Dominic stepped silently through the barely moonlit woods, raising an eyebrow at a young girl's swears and threats. He sneered, his pearly white teeth shimmering despite the poor light. He stepped quicker through the woods his bangs swinging slightly with the wind. Why rush? By what she was looking for she'd be in the woods for a while. he held back a laugh, stepping closer to the strange girl. Also, as far as he knew, his meal.

Hearing a slight rustle of the leaves behind her, Mala's face broke into a broad, triumphant sneer that revealed her false vampire teeth. "Gotcha!" She shouted, swinging around and grabbing--...A foot. A bright red blush broke across her face as she realized what she thought had been the escapee rat was a man's foot. "Uh... Sorry... 'Bout that..." She mumbled in embarrassment, as she released the foot and hesitantly peered up. The boy appeared not to be much older than herself... And was really cute. Not a common thought for Mala, unless it was an oogly-googly-puppy-dog cute. "I thought you were my rat..." She explained timidly, as she straightened up, instinctively taking a step back. She paused, now that she got a better look at the guy. He seemed... Inhuman, somehow. Of course, having always been a believer in such things as vampires, her curiosity instantly flared up. "Say.. I haven't seen you around before," she commented, her tone suspicious. "Who're you?" She asked, her tone more or less innocent as she subtly pulled Oreo's colorful carrier off its perch in the nearby tree. Within, the year-old rat squeaked anxiously.

Dominic glared at the girl suddenly, taken aback as she grabbed his foot. Yes, that was his surprised reaction. He was even more angered as he caught a glimpse of false fangs. Was she mocking their kind? So...you think I'm a rat?" he murmured, raising one eyebrow, continuing to glare at her as he ignored her question. He stepped forward, glaring at her."Do I look like a rat to you?"

Mala's instant reaction to his hostility was... well... Hostility. "Jesus f**k, man. If you didn't sneak up on me like that, I wouldn't've thought your foot was a rat," she pointed out, her voice loud and harsh in the sudden burst of anger. "Now if you're just gonna get in my way, go ahead and leave. The last thing I need is some d**n stray bat eating my pet because you decided to be a thingy!" Mala snapped. She didn't even notice her little slip of the tongue--"bat" instead of "cat"--most likely inspired by 'vamps' being on the mind. as she finished speaking, Mala subconsciously let go of the rat carrier's strap, letting it slide to rest dangling from her arm as she tried to shove the man out of the way--only to find icy cold (literally!) resistance, and not even any slight reaction to her best effort at a hard shove. With a sudden pang of fear, she remembered her earlier theory about why this guy seemed so 'not-human'. She quickly hid this fear, and gave another attempt at pushing him out of the way, this time moving her efforts to his upper arm rather than his chest. As she went into this effort, she couldn't help but suddenly be horribly conscious of the huge height difference between herself and the man. "Move!" She ordered in a shout, unable to hide a slight quaver of fear.

"Bat? Thingy?" e repeated, looking at the girl with interest now. Did she realize what he was? With the idiots of today, he was certain most would let him be."A bat....she must be a fan.." he thought with a chuckle, the chuckle escaping at the same time she attempted to push him He sharply glanced at her, gripping her arm."And if you would have been more aware and looked before grabbing you wouldn't have gotten into this situation, girl.." he said calmly, his eyes narrowing down on the girl, his gray eyes fixated on her."Now, a rat you were looking for, correct?" he asked, deciding to pass at least some boredom with searching before he decided to feed on this girl or not. If he decided not to, he'd probably go search for an animal. But, he hadn't fed in a long time.

Mala narrowed her eyes at his sudden interest in what she was looking for. She attempted to jerk her arm out of his grip, to no avail. "Leave him alone," she growled. She tried her best to subtly shimmy Oreo's bag strap a little farther up her arm, which she found way too difficult... He had grabbed the arm it was hanging from. Without warning, her thoughts shifted to a worried and somewhat selfish pondering of just where her dad was at the moment, and why the hell he couldn't stop to worry about her once in a while. Really, she wasn't as responsible as he thought. Really. Overly trusting bastard. Horrified at her self-distraction, she did her best to tear her thoughts back to the situation at hand and keeping it there.

Dominic spread a smirk on his lips, a mischievous, teasing look in his eyes."So.." he started, leaning closely to the girl, his handsome features more evident closely."You'd rather search on your own? I highly doubt you'll find him in these large woods by yourself. Even less now that you've distracted yourself with me.." he whispered, silently letting go of her arm. He smiled, leaning back to his normal pose."And it seems....you're easily distracted.." he shrugged, having barely noticed the girls stray, random, out of nowhere thoughts.

She glared at Dominic, gratefully yanking back her arm and shifting Oreo's carrier onto her back. "So. I've found him on my own before," she answered defiantly. She began to back away from him slowly, placing each foot carefully to prevent tripping. His comment about her tendency towards distraction really seemed to get her goat. "Hey! I can pay attention if I want to!" She snapped, stomping down her raised foot carelessly in her fury. Her face fell and she shouted out as her foot landed on a particularly wet, exposed root, causing her to slip and fall backwards. She scrunched up her shoulders and threw her arms back instinctively, barely catching herself on her elbows. This action barely prevented her from smashing--and probably killing--defenseless Oreo. Mala scrambled to her feet in a sudden panic, and stumbled away at a sprint. It didn't help much, though, that she got off to an unbalanced start... And that the dead leaves under her feet kept getting slicker and slicker as she got closer to the lake. It wasn't long before she fell again, though this time she fell forward. She threw out her arms in an attempt to catch the tree directly in front of her, but, much to her horror, the tree was smaller around than the space between her arms, and her forehead slammed directly into it. She slumped to the ground, landing slightly on her side--completely blacked out. On her newly exposed back, the bright red plush pouch twitched visibly as, inside, Oreo broke into full-on,squeaky panic in response to all the frantic movement and the many brushes with death.

Dominic blinked in surprise at the girls, random slip-ups and trips. He barely managed to hold back a hard laugh as she was finally knocked out by a thin tree. He smiled, crouching down to the girl he softly lifted her up, one hand at her waist, the other on her pulsing neck. He lifted her up slightly, his eyes narrowing on her exposed neck. He felt his eyes begin to glow."Hey, girl.." he murmured, waiting desperately behind his calm mask, hoping the girl would wake. Nothing yet. He struggled behind his calm expression to stop his constantly nearing fangs at her neck. He opened his mouth, a few mere centimeters from her neck

Mala awoke slowly, her vision blurred and spotted with blotches of black. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed the man barely on the verge of ripping her throat open. She screeched at the top of her lungs, planting her hands on his face, carefully avoiding his mouth, and pushing him away with all her strength. She moved her head away, as well, trying her best to get out of his reach. As she did this, a drop of blood from her forehead dripped into her eye and she began to feel dizzy, nauseous, even. "Guh... Get offa me," she groaned weakly, squirming in his grip as she tried to get away. At the back of her mind, she barely registered the frantic squeaking that continued to emanate from her back.

Dominic's eyes widened, snapping out of his blood lust. His relief was quickly switched with anger as she moved her hands to his face."Hey!" he snapped, grabbing her arms as he let her land back on the ground with thud."No need to slam your hands into my fa-" he stopped short, the small amount of blood trickling from her forehead catching his eyes. He He silently slipped the pack off her back before he pinned her to the ground his eyes half-lidded as he focused on the blood. He leaned forward, his tongue running lightly over her eyelid, licking the blood off. With the small amount of blood his eyes glowed lightly red. Delicious, was what ran through his mind as he moved away again, wanting blood now more than anything.

"No need to suck my blo--Ew! Get offa me!" Mala snapped as he licked the blood off her eye. Out of the corner of her eye, she noticed him holding Oreo's bag. Inside, the rat still squirmed and complained. She grabbed the body of the bag, pulling it out of his distracted grip, and holding the contained rat close protectively. She narrowed her eyes. "Huh. I thought you were going to drink my blood," she pointed out sarcastically. "What gives? Are you a coward?" She narrowed her eyes at him. She knew she was seriously pushing it, but she couldn't help being pregnant dogy when she was pissed off.

Dominic smirked, shifting his grip on her to only one hand, compliments of his inhuman grip. "Your blood? Do you really want me to take your blood?" he asked smoothly, his other hand resting gingerly at the side of her neck, his red eyes piercing into her eyes."Truly, your blood is delicious....I don't mind if you really want me to.." he cackled as he leaned towards her neck until his lips brushed lightly to her neck."Take your blood....until you've run dry.." he murmured."I don't mind.....breaking my promise for blood like that.." His gaze shifted to the constantly squeaking rat in the bag. His gaze narrowed, allowing him time as his control was slowly returning."But.....we'll find out after we find the other rodent.." he smiled warmly now, as he swiftly stood, leaving her on the ground. His blood red eyes shifted about, a sneer on his lips as he heard another far off squeak."We might even find sooner than you would hope for..." he smiled as he walked at an easy pace."And try hiding you blood scent right now...I might break before we find the rat.." he called out as he continued toward the small squeaks that couldn't be heard by normal humans.

Mala sat up shakily, disturbed and confused by the man's constant back-and-forth between 'helpful' and 'bloodthirsty'. His order for her to hide the smell of her blood was even more confusing since, just moments ago, Mala was under the impression he wanted her for a meal. She sighed slightly in exasperation and finally pushed herself to her feet to follow him. "How am I supposed to do that? I can't exactly control the smell of my bodily fluids," she pointed out reproachfully, making sure to keep some amount of distance between herself and the vampire.
