Star looks at Tor, his blood red eyes shrouded behind his hair. His lips pulled up to a sneer, "Ace is no longer a leader of mine. I'm Turned, for real this time. The time before no longer counts. Get it through your head, Star. Then you can contact me."

Tor pushes himself up and grabs his coat from a peg next to the door. He slips it on and steps out, the night air filling his lungs. His eyes search his surroundings, nothing. He shuts the door and slips into the shadows. Listening to the beat of music from a near club and the smell of stale liquor. A man walks down the street, shrouded in dark clothing and a hat pulled down to cover his eyes.

His head turns to Tor, his lips pull into a grin, "First Turned?"

Tor's eyes dart to the man, a stake appears from beneath his coat. The stake brings the scent of old blood. Tor bares his teeth at the man, ready to leap. The man chuckled and hand the stake at Tor, "I know your kind, bloodsucker. My own son was taken to your ways. He woulda sucked me dry if I hadn't saved his poor soul. I'll save you too."

Tor tried to back away but was corned by the hiss of thirst. A rugged looking vampire was behind him, a hunter in front. There was no where to go, so he pleaded. "I am more than just a beast. I can control my urges. I am more than 200 years. Leave me be, there is still human blood running through my body. The blood of my mother. "

The hunter tilted his head at the crazy sounding beast, "You take me for a fool? I am your savior. Sebastian, " the rugged vampire looks at the hunter, "get him."

Without a second thought, Sebastian leaps forward. Tor leaps out of the way, running towards a building surrounded with night owl mundanes. Tor reaches into his pocket, his fingers touch his contacts. Pulling them out he slips them in and slicks back his hair. Tor slips into a clothing store and snatches a shirt and jeans. He quickly changes, stepping out of the store with a pair of sunglasses on. Sebastian runs past, his red eyes crazed. Tor notes that he looks like the hunter. Tor turns and walks with the night crowd, towards the center of town.

No one stops him as he steps into the street, a car blows its horn. Tor's head snaps to the left as he sees the oncoming truck. A scream glares through the night as the metal crunches underneath Tor's hands. Skidding back a couple of feet, the night crowd turns. Tor gulps and ducks into a nearby park.

A tap on Tor's shoulder causes him to turn, a blonde stares at him. Her lips in a frown, "What the heck were you think?"

Tor stares at the girl. His memory of the time before dissipating. The girl in front of him had a red star in her eye. He smiled, "You are a star. I've got amnesia."
