Welcome to Gaia! ::

Dimitri smiled. "Cool. Um, mind if I come over here to visit on occasion?" he asked a bit hesitantly. If he could get the invitation extended to any time, it would really help his plans.
He pulled out a picture from a box. He assumed it was of Anna's family. "Erm, where should I put this?" he asked, holding it gingerly as it probably held sentimental value to her and she would not be too pleased with him if he dropped and broke it.

Dimitri nodded and placed the picture where she specified. "I was thinking of maybe coming over tomorrow . . . if you don't mind that is. It's been a while since any of my friends lived nearby. At least, close enough to walk to that is." he said, shrugging a bit.
He then smiled at her hesitantly once more. "I mean . . . we are friends right? Maybe?" he asked, seeming unsure of himself. He was making himself feel sick with this maudlin act.

Dimitri smiled back. "Cool." he said, relaxing a bit. "So . . . I can come over tomorrow, as long as you're home right?" he asked, trying to make it seem like he just didn't want to be trespassing while she was at school. In fact, he rather doubted she would ever make it to school in the first place.
He idly wondered if she had gotten all her clothes unpacked. It would be easier if he could just take the box of her clothes with them, then he wouldn't have to stop and buy some for her. Humans tended to smell rather bad after wearing the same clothes over a long period of time.

Dimitri smiled. "Wonderful." he said softly in a rather cheerful tone. As she got pots and pans out of some boxes, he began to realize just how thirsty he was . . . hm . . . he should probably do something about that. "I hope you don't mind, but I think I'll head home and fix myself something to eat. I'll see you around, yes?" he asked, making sure to put that hopeful edge into his voice. Not that she knew that she would be seeing him a lot sooner than she expected. If he had his way, there was no way she'd be making it to school tomorrow. They'd be on the rather exhaustively long road trip to meet some more vampires.

Dimitri smiled and left the house. Once he reached his house, however, he instantly flopped down on the couch and turned on the TV to the news. Stupid humans were so oblivious to the world around them, but the information could occasionally be useful. It was then that he heard a laugh as a blonde stepped into his living room. "Ah, Miss Nightshade, I was wondering if I would be receiving a visit from you." he said, standing up and bowing politely.
The wood nymph just smiled. "Well how could I stay away? You seemed to be quite taken with the young lady who moved in next door." she said, giggling a bit.
Dimitri frowned as he straightened before waving a dismissive hand. "Merely an act. That girl is important to the vampire community. Our leaders are quite anxious to acquire her skills." he said, his voice clipped and business-like.
"Oh I see. Business." The blonde rolled her eyes and moved past Dimitri to flop on the couch, taking up the entirety of the seats as she did so. "So that wasn't flirting that I was detecting?"
"If you assumed I was flirting, I did a better job than I thought." Dimitri said with a chuckle as he pushed her legs off the couch and took his seat back. "No. I was merely insuring an invitation for the proper time. Tonight, I shall be leaving again. And Miss Anna will be accompanying me." he stated, eyes narrowing as he continued to watch the news.
The wood nymph sighed and rolled her eyes. "You always speak so properly. You sound like a stuffed shirt."
"Yes, well, for a hundred year old tree, your vernacular is surprisingly modern."
"What the hell does that mean?!"
Dimitri sighed and closed his eyes, letting his head lay back. "It means for an old woman you are surprisingly 'hip.'"
Hands wrapped around his throat as the nymph, not for the first time since they first met, tried to strangle the creature who didn't need to breathe. "Take it back! I am not an old woman! You take that back right now!"

It was around two or three in the morning when Dimitri made his move. A locked door was no obstacle to a vampire. And a locked window was an even more laughable barricade. Especially since he had permission to enter the household. The window opened, the lock undoing itself as he exerted a bit of his will upon the entryway. He climbed in, moving silently as he did so. He grinned. This was just too easy. He carried a large bag with him. He opened her closet and shoved what clothes she had unpacked into the bag with no real care at all. Then, he turned his attention to the girl sleeping in the bed. "Time to wake up Anna." he murmured, smirking. A hand came down over her mouth to smother any screams as his other hand gave her shoulder a firm shake. He would give her the option to go willingly.

Dimtri grunted as he was kicked back, before flinching as he felt the bullets rip through his body. However, not being human, bullets didn't really affect him. "Really now? Violence?" he asked, his tone reflecting his centuries old sophistication as he checked out his already healing wounds. "This just makes leaving all the more complicated." he said, shaking his head. He then glared at Anna. "I was going to give you the opportunity to come willingly, but I can presume that I already have my answer." That said, he rushed forward and ripped the gun from her grasp and tossing it away before he grabbed her shoulders, forcing her to sit still. He had to admire her spunk. "You're only making things worse for yourself by struggling, you do realize." he informed her. "Now, we can do this one of two ways. You calm down and accompany me to my car where you will go into the back seat and behave yourself, or I tie you up and toss you in my trunk. It's really up to you." he said, a rather bland expression on his face. Never let it be said that he didn't offer second chances.
