Shadows dance across the hallowed walls. Flickering candles giving them life. They pulled the eye that's where I seen the mind and calling the soul. The win held outside these hollowed walls rain not only beating the brick and mortar but ripping into the water soft Earth below. Dull lifeless screen orbs watched from a window far above. Many didn't come from saints row. And those who entered never seem to leave the old building. Crossing cold pale hands the sigh breathless but full of sorrow and pain. Concrete Angels watched silent as a figure move from the window and into the living shadows. They headed towards a small bathroom lighting a half front candle to bring life into the tiny room. His where it was a he green eyes stared straight back at himself. He ran a pill bunny hand through lush black hair. His face was gotten drawn. I start with the lack of sleep. But as always he pushed it aside. He took the black silk shirt under his Lane frame. Topping it off with a blood red tie. He gave us slight smile at the reflection in the mirror before turning and starting to walk away. he snapped his fingers causing likes to flick her around the manor. Bringing new life to the old place. Tonight was the first night and hundreds of years that the manner would open its gates. A ball would be held. Of course as a masquerade party. He chuckled pulling the black and red half mask over his eyes and upper half of his face as he slipped his shoes on. Cars were already beginning to come through the gates as he walked downstairs. His boots made us off click on the Polish marble floors and with the sigh he put on a fake smile and threw open the doors.

Alistair knew something strange was in the air, but that didn't stop him as he found himself going up the long pathway up the manor he had heard about from one of the local drunk's he swallowed softly as he made his way up slowly. He was nervous he started to fidget his fingers to themselves as he climbed what seemed to be a forever long pathway. "it seems im having second thoughts.." He said to himself as he started to back away and started to walk the other way. Yet something kept calling to him that made him turn back around and keep walking. "Maybe just a quick visit with the lord..will be okay.." IN his voice you could tell he was slightly afraid, the darkness of the place seemed to attract him and all of his wanting. He bit his lip as he finally reached the top of the pathway and slowly started to climb the stairs leading to the door of the manor, he didn't move or say anything he just stared at the giant door, he clasped ahold of the door knocker, and thought to himself. "One...two...you can do this.." Something now felt off to him, but as much as he wanted to turn and run away he didn't think he could, The moment came that finally took him, was when he finally sounded the door knocker with a loud clack, there was no turning back now.

Casey waited inside hidden among people milling around the life full party. He sighed keeping to himself as he could. And when he couldn't he greeted each with a smile. Hearing the door being knocked on he went to check who it was. Wondering if it was a begger or someone running late. So he made his way towards the live oak doors pulling one open as he smiled seeing it was the later of the two. "Hello and welcome to Saints Row. Please come in and enjoy yourself. Thale party has begun but your fashionably late which is always a good thing."his voice was low and sweet like milk and honey to the ears He stepped back as he smiled again waving in the right direction towards the lights and music. People milling around and spilling into the halls if the long closed off Manor

Alistair smiled warmly as the host let him in, he looked inside at all the bodies, this bothered him abit but he did go in and smile and conversate with many of the people on the inside. However Alistair got bored of this quickly, as he found himself outside in a garden, He let his hands trace over some of the ornate statues outside, his eyes were drawn to the flowers that were there, he sat himself down on a bench in the garden and just closed his eyes as he lost himself in thought. Alistair smiled to himself, as he looked up at the star's and smiled again as he had never seen anything so clear and so perfect. The night sky seemed to draw him and call out to him, but he couldn't answer it. Something about the night called to him. Alistair having lost track of time paid no nevermind to anything around him, as he continued to smile and look around seeing the pale full moon, he let his hands drop to some of the flowers and he traced his fingers along the soft petals.

Casey's eyes danced across the people as he sighed. He didn't feel up to this but he needed new blood around the manor. He noticed the make leaving out to the gardens and smiled as a few others started to leave out the front. Night roses bloomed as well as other colorful flowers. Though moon Lillie's held the most in the gardens. A soft night owl heard in the distant trees calling to it's mate and hunting on silent wings across the field. He slowly made his way towards the garden doors opening a single one and stepping outside after a while excusing himself saying he needed fresh air. He didn't even know if the male was still out here but he wanted to check on him. He glanced to the full moon. A soft smile dancing across his lips as he did. He closed his eyes in the silence finally and taking a deep breath. He held it for a few minutes though with no need to breath he released it just taking in the nighttime smells. Opening his eyes he walked farther into the gardens where the benches would be found..seeing the male he made sure his normally quiet steps could be heard with soft clicks of the heels as he walked closer to him "Needed some fresh air?"he asked softly as he approached the male.

Alistair smiled softly as the male spoke, his fingers trailing over the flowers still. "Forgive me..I dont do well with crowds they tend to leave me breathless should I say.." Alistair stood and offered the other his hand. "The name is Alistair." He had a very thick old southern accent as he spoke to the other male, he smiled with every word and never broke eye contact. "I do hope I didnt offend you by coming out here and looking at your lovely garden..such a thing has always attracted me...its like my own little slice of heaven wouldn't you agree?" Alistair spoke with a hint of sass to him but he smiled a million dollar smile as he started to the gate to the garden. "Well pardon my intrusion on your garden..maybe at some point I would be able to come back and spend all day in this garden." Alistair smiled once again as he nodded his head and opened the gate to the garden closing it behind him, as he placed a hand to his chest before exhaling a sigh as he started back into the manor only to see it not as full as it once was, He smiled some and got lost now in the pictures on the wall that seemed to be all over the manor walls. Alistair got lost in how many of them were so life like and yet they seemed so old, He eventually had to touch one. he let his hand move out and touch what seemed to be a very old painting. "My word..you feel so lifelike...I really have overstayed my welcome..." Was all he said as he let his hand grasp the handle to the main door.

he shook the males hand and with his own draw to his words spoke"None taken at all. Please feel free to wonder around. After all it isn't often the Manor is open to the public like tonight. And My name is Casey. It's lovely to meet you Alistair. Please enjoy yourself." He smiled his best full of sugar smile as he looked him over quickly as to not be noticed before releasing the males hand. He turned watching him walk away with a sigh and shaking his head. 'Too easy...' he thought before he called out to the male "If you'd like you can come by tomorrow and look around. I'll have someone bring you in and you can explore all you wish. And lunch can be prepared as well for yourself." He figured it was atleast a offer though the male seemed interested enough to keep around the place. He shook his head looking over the flowers as he reached out to the rose bushes and brushed the petals softly. His hand leaving no mark or bruise on them before he turned and started back towards the party just ready to call it a night since the sun would be up in a few hours anyways

The night took him as he wandered back to his small home, the thoughts of the Lord of the house and the garden kept him awake slightly. He sighed with a stupid grin on his face as he stepped into his house and closed and locked the door, as he heard the click he smiled, and moved over to the kitchen area of his home, and he made himself something to drink. The smile faded as thought's ran through his head. As he finished his drink , he felt his stomach rumble, so he grabbed some meat cheese and bread and made himself a sandwich to make the hunger go away, much was on his mind as he stood against the sink and finished his meal. He made his way into the bathroom of his home, and started to remove all of his cloth's he usually walked around naked most of the time anyway, as he was usually home alone. He smiled as he looked himself over in the mirror, his long black hair cascaded over his naked form, he had scars from thing's that had happened in the past, he lost himself in thought as he began to trace a couple of them. he snapped back to reality as he looked over at the tub and saw that it was almost full to the brim. He laughed softly and let some of the water out, and then decided that he was going to slip into the hot water. As his body slid down into the water, he grabbed a book from the side, a vampire book as he started to get lost in the book his mind went blank the world around him seemed to get darker which was okay with him, He placed his book to the side for a moment as he thought he saw something in the corner of the room but he dismissed it. He continued to read as the water relaxed his mind and his body, his thoughts going places they shouldn't.
