Nimue sighed as she looked at the new house that she was moving in to. It was a nice little place, well it was big enough to house 5 bedrooms, a basement, an attic and a garden. It would be big enough for her, her husband Dante and her baby girl, Isis.
They needed to move here, it was the safest place for them and with her new job, it went perfectly. She was going to be the Head Witch in this community and so she would work to protect the young witches and wizards of this area.
"Come, my love, let's go in." Dante told her in a smooth tone. Nimue picked up her baby daughter's car seat, which she was snoozing away in and walked into the house with her husband.
The house was beautifully and gothically done. It had high ceilings and crystal chandeliers. She put Isis down for her nap in her new bedroom on the first floor and then Nimue went back down to her husband.
"It seems I am the first to arrive." Nimue said with a sigh. "I hear the Vampire Head lives to our left, she'll be fun to get to know."
Nimue straightened out her long red and black gothic dress with tie up front and combed through her long, waist length black hair. Her eyes, they were the sign of her being pure ancient magic, they changed depending on her mood. All different shades of blue. Midnight when she was angry and pale blue when she was calm. Her pentagram necklace hung around her neck and was a booster for her powers.
"This will be a nice place to bring up our family." Dante told her as she hugged her from behind. She loved her husband. He was a warlock and he had dark brown hair with changing green eyes. He was almost as old as her. She was 250, while he was a mere 200. It was only recently that they had decided to settle down and have a family, which caused them to have Isis.
"Yes, but no more children till Isis is well into her toddler years, I still have the baby fat." Nimue moaned to him. Dante was taller than Nimue, a nice 6 foot while she was 5 foot 8.
"I'm going to sit on the porch swing and see who turns up." Nimue told him. She liked meeting new people whereas Dante didn't. He nodded to her and then went off to the ritual room that they had made on the second floor. She played with her gold wedding band on her right hand and her celtic caladah ring on her left hand before going outside.
"This will be a good place." She told herself.

Hearing her name called (actually, her title) Erzsebet pounced down for her spot on top if the building Deciding to be a creeper, she crawled into one of the bedrooms which had an open window - for show - and started to walk out of the room. She hoped to scare the head Witch.
Stepping behind the woman, she screamed "Ahhhh, my lungs - and my stomach!" and fake-coughed, falling to the ground, hoping the Head witch would notice. "The garlic - it's got me!" she had ingeniously wrapped a string of garlic around her stomach and upper torso. This, she thought, should scare the shit outta little miss Witchy-Pants.

Nimue laughed at the Head Vampire. Did she look like she was born yesterday? Nimue thought to herself as she started to laugh harder. She was 250 years old for Goddess sake, she'd met enough vampires to know the truth.
"Really?" She asked the Vampire. "I'm 250, not 2. I know Garlic doesn't affect you or sunlight considering it's 11am." She told the Vampire now standing on her porch.
"Hi, I'm Nimue Du Loc. I'm the Head Witch and you must be the Head Vampire. You should try the whole garlic thing on a new witch, when they get here."
"What's your name?" She asked the Vampire.

"Yeah well I'm 600, honey. If you knew my past, you'd understand better perhaps." Erzsebet chuckled. "I'm Erzsebet, but you can call me Erzsie if you like." Suddenly, a young-looking man, whose eyes gave away the fact he was also a vampire, jumped out from the bushes and said "Found ya, Erzsie! Where ya been?"
Without flinching, Erzsebet replied "On the roof, idiot. Pardon me, but this is my mate, Taylor Collins, also known as Idiot." She chuckled lightly, knowing she was teasing him. Erzsebet hugged him back when he wrapped his arms around him, and started humming "Arms" by Christina Perri. "Just because I'm old doesn't mean I can't like new music, Taylor..."
"I know, my love; but I wanna hear you sing." Erzsebet shook her head and muttered "No; not without Daddy... I just wish he was here, Taylor..." Sighing, she slid out of his arms and walked away. She needed to be alone; completely alone.

"Well we all have a past." Nimue shrugged off and then a young vampire jumped out of the bushes. Nimue readied a fire ball, but when Erzsie introduced him, she wiped the fire ball away. "Sorry, habit." She said.
"Oh cool, you have a mate, I have a husband, but he doesn't like to meet people. He's called Dante."
"Talking about me, my dove?" Dante's voice asked as he scared Nimue by coming up behind them and she smiled at him.
"Speak of the warlock." Nimue said. "This is Dante and I would show you our daughter, Isis, but she's asleep." Nimue told her.
"Was it something I said?" Nimue asked Taylor when Erzsie walked away. Nimue went after the vampire and caught up with her. "Hey, wait up, I'm in a dress and we were talking." Nimue told her. Nimue may look 25 at a real push, but she was too old to be running after vampires. That was something for 50 year old witches!
"You ok?" Nimue asked as she touched Erzsie and gasped as she got what would have been a vision if she were alive. It was more like feelings. Erzsie was sad over her father. "Oh gods I'm sorry that happened."
"My powers have been wacky since I got pregnant, they will be back to normal soon." Nimue promised.
"Do you want to talk about it? We could swap stories. I may be a witch, but I am a good listener."

Erzsebet sighed. "For years I've been living without my father. He was a p-priest... in a Catholic ch-church... I used to go to mass every Sunday, and pray and read the Bible, but now... Now I just... I can't... Now every time I hear 'god' or 'gods' or anything of the like, I want to rip heads off....." Her body was now becoming tense with every breath she took. She couldn't stand it; she needed to feed, and she needed to do it soon

Nimue felt sorry for the Vampire. She knew what it was like to lose a parent. That was one of the reason she had moved here.
"I know how it feels to lose a parent. My father died the day I gave birth to Isis and that was one of the reasons I came here." Nimue told her. "Guess people still love a good witch hunt."
"My mother was one of the Salem witches, the real ones, but she never got caught and she's still around. My father was a druid warlock and so I have druid markings on my arms and body. That's how people found out who I was, I got hot one day from the pregnancy and I accidently showed my markings." Nimue sighed. "They came for me, but I was giving birth and so they took my father instead of me." Nimue wiped her eyes. "It's my fault he died, I shouldn't have been reckless."
"I moved here for my daughter, I need to protect her."

Erzsebet dried her tears and said "Thanks... but really nothing can console me more than my darling Taylor..." She looked at Nimue and, upon feeling a nudge in her abdomen, gasped. "What the... that cannot be... it's not possible... Shit! I can't believe..."
Angry as a bull seeing red, Erzsebet reeled on her mate "You asshole; how come you didn't warn me?" Taylor just stood there and stared

Nimue understood how she felt. She didn't really feel like she could be consoled very much. Dante was her life and so was Isis. She needed them so much.
"Erzsie, are you ok?" She didn't know what was up with this vampire, but she was very jumpy and not all there sometimes. Maybe it's the age Nimue wondered.
She whirled around on to her mate and she felt like the odd person out. Dante turned up with Taylor and he a wide awake, but crying Isis in his arms. He came forward and gave Nimue Isis. She shushed her child and held her close.
"What the heck is wrong with you?" Nimue asked. "I thought I was moving in to a sane community." Nimue muttered to herself.

Post by Sage on Mar 2, 2013 21:08:28 GMT
Sage had finally finished moving boxes of stuff out of her old pick up truck into her new house and was now sitting in the truck bed. In her hands was a small backpack filled with the things that were too important to be put in boxes. She was fidgeting with the strap while her mind went other places. Sage was still numb over what had happened, even though it was a while ago.
Fate had been cruel, so she had been forced to leave her best friend, who she had been very close to for years, to come to this community. Although she missed Asher dearly, Sage was happy that she got to leave her boring life back home. Trying to blend in and act normal had been extremely difficult, being surrounded with humans while demon blood ran through her veins. On many occasions, her senses and the markings on her arms had almost given her away.
Shaking those thoughts off, Sage tried to think about other things. In the distance, she heard a few people and decided to check it out. Moving closer, she could make out a witch, warlock and two vampires. The witch had a child in her arms. 'Maybe they're the Heads,' Sage thought. One of the vampires clearly looked angry at who Sage assumed to ber her mate. She had probably come at the wrong time. Still, Sage decided to introduce herself.
"Uh, hey. I'm Sage," she said. Hopefully, the tension would simmer down a little.

Erzsebet calmed down when she saw a new person. She could smell the blood in their veins - half-demon. She stepped closer, wanting to sink her fangs in the moment they popped out from underneath her gums, but withdrew and immersed herself in her mate's arms.
"I'm Erzsebet, and this is my mate, Taylor. Sorry if you saw me yelling... I can be a hot-head sometimes. So you're a half-demon, are you? Well, as you probably know, I am a Head Vampire at this house, or 'haven' as we apparently call it."

Sage drew back a little when she saw a look of hunger on the vampire. She was a little thrown off when Erzsebet automatically knew that she was a half demon, but remembered that she didn't have anything to fear here. There wasn't anyone to hide from or to fear.
"It's fine," Sage said, scratching the back of her head. "Nice to meet you," She held her hand out to them.

Post by Monica on Mar 3, 2013 0:33:15 GMT
Monica had been taking care of the castle at the top of the hill. Well, it wasn't really a castle, but it did look like one. It had at least seven stories, hundreds of bedrooms, each with their own bedroom. A large kitchen and dining room, a Great Hall, and a training hall was somewhere around here. This was where she had trained as a Nephilim, a novice. Now, everyone except her had gone and moved to different states and provinces, leaving her here.
She didn't really mind, though. She put her new estate to good use and turned it into a Safe Haven for mythical creatures. Of course, Monica needed help for this place to work out, so she had friends that she had met in her evil-bashing days come and help her.
Speaking of which, the Heads should be getting settled into their houses and whatnot. Monica pulled her hair back in a ponytail, looked at herself in her full-length mirror, turned sideways to admire her cross tattoo, and walked out of the castle.
~*~*~*~*
She had driven her white Mercedes down to the neighborhood for the Heads and found some of them conversing. Monica pulled her car to the curb and got out.
"Hello, my friends," she said formally, as if she had lived for hundreds of years like some other mythical creatures. Truth was, she was only sixteen, but looked ageless. God knows that she's been through tougher situations than a normal sixteen-year-old could bear, but since she was the offspring of the Archangel Michael, she had toughened up over the years.
"Have we gotten ourselves acquaitned with each other?"

((Sorry Monica, I wasn't on here to take care of it. I had to put you in the group before you could be one, but it seems ok now.))
Nime smiled as more and more of the Heads turned up. She pulled Isis closer to her when Erzsie's fangs came out, but then Nimue's magic went warm at the sight of Sage and she knew that the last time she felt that was when she faced a half demon.
"You're a half demon, it's nice to meet you, Sage. I'm Nimue, Head Witch and this is my husband, Dante and daughter, Isis." She introduced herself and then the Head Nephillum come up to them. They both looked younger than her. I mean she looked 25, but they looked younger.
"Yes, we have, you must be Monica." Nimue said to her as she felt her blood butterfly for being close to a half angel.
"It seems like we've all gotten to say hi, now let's get back to you Erzsie." Nimue said as she turned to the vampire. "What the heck is wrong with....you?" She said as she took a step towards her and then she heard a fluttering coming from her, like a slow, close to dead, heartbeat coming from Erzsie's stomach. That's when she realised. "You didn't know this could happen?" She asked her. "My magic is allowing me to sense things, that's how I know." She cleared up before she was asked.

"What's going on with me? I want to understand." Erzsebet said as she sat on a stump. "Maybe I've been eating too much steak au jus?" She used the proper culinary terms to describe what she'd eaten just hours before this meeting.
She hated beef, but because Taylor liked it, she'd eaten in anyway. Right now she wanted to hurl, to yak, or spew chunks. But she wouldn't let on. She noticed Nimue staring an said "What are you looking at me like that for? Is there something wrong with me?"

Nimue looked puzzled at the vampire in front of her. "I guess I'll have to spell it out for her." She sighed as she pulled Isis closer to her. She went over to the vampire and stood in front of her.
"See this baby in my arms?" Nimue asked as her daughter cooed at the vampire. "You have one too, about a few weeks a long, no more than 6 and that is why you look like you are going to yak. I had terrible morning sickness with his one."
"I think you and Taylor have a bit to talk about, everyone else, who's up for a barbeque at mine?" She asked everyone else.

Post by Monica on Mar 5, 2013 1:12:49 GMT
Monica smiled warmly at the mention of Erzsebet being pregnant. "Young ones all 'round," she said happily.
"A barbeque sounds wonderful," she said to Nimue.
A whinny sounded off in the far distance. Monica turned to see a familiar black unicorn trotting up to her.
"Midnight, I swear," she said, exhasperated. "You got out again, didn't you?"
A snort was his only reply. Monica snorted back.
Turning back to the other Heads, she said, "Do not worry about Midnight; he's a stubborn thing that won't stay in his pasture even to save his life. He won't hurt anybody. He'll show off, yes, but other than that, he's just a big ol' teddy bear."
"Now how 'bout that barbeque?"

"Hi, nice to meet you," Sage said to Nimue. It was taking a little while to get used to how everyone knew about how she was a half demon. A car rolled up to where they were and someone stepped out. She looked really confident, but yet she looked so young. "Yeah, I think we have," Sage replied.
Sage had been wondering what had been up with Erzie, until Nimue had to explain to her. She didn't know that vampires could have kids, because she had thought vampires were dead or something. 'Apparently not,' she thought to herself. Sage wondered what else wasn't true about vampires. She would have to ask at some point. Still, it was pretty awesome that Erzie was going to have a child soon.
"I think a barbeque would be an awesome idea," Sage replied.
Without warning, a unicorn came towards them. "Wha- Unicorns are real?!" she sputtered. Monica seemed like she was familiar with it, so Sage relaxed a little. Shaking that off, she said, "I think I might have a mini grill somewhere around."

Monica laughed when Sage sputtered, "Wha- Unicorns are real?!"
"Yes, they've been around quite some time and have become endangered because of humans' lust of shiny things. Especially unicorns' horns." She glanced over at Midnight's glitering golden horn.
"So us Nephilim have taken the liberty of taking care of the animals that have become either endangered or legend. Up by the SHMC Headquarters there's a stable for the animals. We have yet to get a stable hand to take care of them and I have yet to get the word out for the scattered Nephilim scared of their powers."
She sighed heavily. "I have made in my responsibility to take care of the animals and hope to give the newbies lessons on how to take care of them."
