A week later I was walking down the streets of East Harlem to escape the others at the institute. I drew in a deep breath and watched the white damp coming out of my mouth when I exhaled. I walked aimlessly down the streets, not thinking why or where I was going. Nit even when I dumped down at the stairs of Hotel Dumort. I watched the people walk by and the cars race down the street without noticing me.I had learned the invisibility rune, and I always used it when I wanted to go out on the streets of New York. But tonight I was at East Harlem.

"You must have an insanely strong death wish for being here" I snapped my head around to see Raphael stand behind me with his arms crossed.His eyebrows knitted together, giving the impression of him being angry or upset.

"I don't have a death wish" I snapped back, and looked ahead of me again. "I came here to think"

"Then you must know the dangers of being on these very steps" Raphael said, and walked to stand in front of me. I turned my head to my left and looked at the people walking down the street. I didn't want to look at Raphael, as I could not care to be bothered by him and his threats.

"Technically,I am not on your premises..." I said and turned my to the vampire in front of me, smirking. "... It would be different if I was inside"

Raphael waved his fingers in front of my face, and I looked at them for a few seconds, before I popped my left eyebrow up. "that's not going to work on me" I said and turned my head the other way and pulled the neck of my jacket down, to show him the rune.

"Oh come on!" Raphael groaned and threw his hands up in the air. "Why the hell didn't I think that you would have a rune against my charm?!" Raphael was screaming. I giggled at his hopeless-ness and rose up to my feet.

"Because I am smart" I said, and gave him a playful push with my hip.Raphael changed his face from frustrated to mischievous. He picked me up and ran away with me before I could even think or react to his actions. The world flew by so fast I couldn't keep up with my eyes.Raphael eventually came to a halt and stood on top of a building so close to the edge that I clung myself to him.

"You might be smart, but I am faster than you" Raphael said and I could hear the smirk on his lips. I glanced up at his amused smiled as he led me away from the edge. He held his arms around me in a protective way. Raphael stared into my eyes, and then, he snapped his eyes fromme, before his arrogant self washed over him. "Just because I am nice to you, doesn't mean we're friends"

"Oh come on, are you really going to do this again?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest. "Who did let me stay in your lair? Oh, wait,that was you! And then who was waiting for me to wake up? You! Now who took me here? You!" I screamed and walked up into his face,holding a index finger under his nose.

"Get your filthy fingers out of my face" Raphael said, and took a gentle hold of my wrist, pulling my hand down from under his nose. Raphael looked tired, and like he just wanted to fall asleep, instead of living another awake moment.

"Raphael,seriously, stop being so hard to me and yourself" I said and moved my hand so he held my hand instead of my wrist. Raphael froze for a moment as his cold hand held a light hold of mine. "I just want to be your friend, on a distance if that is better for you"
