Friday Night Lights
Inside the stadium Dendera sends her vampires into the crowds to find Imogen as she scans the faces and chaos. Immy is on the sidelines not far from the Redemption High cheerleaders.
The Redeemer cheer squad erupts in a cheer, "Redeemer Knights you better fight bring us home a win tonight!"
Immy jokes with Harkyn over the corny cheers as Harkyn plows through stadium nachos with extra jalapenos, the kid loves hot after all. It is a sea of Redeemer blue and white as Dendera slides and maneuvers through the crowds. She spots who she thinks is Immy several times but knows the girl must look different than when she last saw her two years prior at the last of her weapons training.
The Redeemers marching band is playing various tunes as the crowd erupts in a school chant. Faces are painted white and blue and Dendera can't help but notice the Redeemer Knight's mascot running across the field. He is a cartooned version of a knight's templar; only where red crosses once rested there is now a blue lion. He swings a huge foam sword and shield as jocks pile around him.
Dendera continues to weave through the masses in search for Immy not sure why but feeling urgency and haste is needed. Back on the home team side line, Harkyn tells Immy he's going to get another drink; he downed his fast after he finished the spicy nachos. A short time after he disappears towards the concession area one of the cheerleaders breaks rank and walks towards Immy.
She is cute and fit as cheerleaders go but most of all she does not belong, she smiles at Immy as Immy scowls back knowingly.
"Ally seriously... what the fuck!" Immy says a little loudly catching the attention of a pair of Redeemer linemen.
Ally puts her finger over her mouth shushing Immy, her eyes glimmer a fire red and then glass over black for a second as she moves in close to Immy and places her arm around her. The blue and white pom pom Ally holds rests over Immy's shoulder.
"Chill bitch, I'm on the squad now." Ally replies giggling.
Immy shrugs her arm off of her, "The hell you are, you don't even go to this school! Seriously Ally you're not even human what now, who you going to kill now?"
Just as the exchange is beginning to heat up the two jocks intervene interested in the fresh face on the cheer squad.
"Hey, couldn't help but notice your sexy bad ass from over there, how long you been on squad, don't remember seeing you before." The taller of the two says moving in close to Ally.
Ally darts eyes at him, he can see his own face through the black marble like jewels that borrow into his core, "Fuck off James, or I'll tell the school you jerk off to your sister's Facebook profile pictures."
The athlete stands there mouth open in shock, not only did this strange girl know his name but also about... He turns around in a mix of anger, confusion and fear and moves rapidly back to his team waiting to start the game. His friend stands in shock for a second and then turns to follow.
Immy shakes her head and looks at Ally who returns her attention to her.
Ally becomes a little more serious than usual in tone, stance and words, "Immy, you are about to be out of time."
Ally appears to become anxious, she starts looking over her shoulder and into the crowd.
"What, what are you talking about, time for what?" Immy asks confused trying to see what Ally is looking for.
"Look, just go with him... do you understand, do not stand against him, if you do you..." Ally is cut off by a familiar voice.
"Hey baby, see you're rocking the colors tonight." Colson grabs Immy from the back and kisses her neck while pointing out the blue and white Redeemer Knight's shirt she's wearing.
