[never let] go

[Sky]

"City of war?" Seth said, surprised. "Why is that?"

He didn't really expect an answer, so he looked around at the shops. The windows had all sorts of manicans with expensive clothing and accessories.

They stopped at a brick building with glass doors. Alice was mentioning something about dancing properly.

"Ooh. I get lessons from the best teacher in the world. I'm so lucky!" Seth said grinning at her.

Alice nodded slowly. "All`s fair in love and war." She muttered softly, and with a slight tone. "And I am not the best dancer in the world. I`m just good at the dances I know." She smiled and moved towards the building, holding the door open for Seth.

"This place is actually and old hotel, but it`s beautiful and they have a little club in here." She explained as she stepped into the lobby. It was dark, with a purple light filling everythign up. There was a sleek, low desk on the wall in front of them and halls that led off to the side. It looked like a place you would see in New York, not Paris. Everything was shiny and new, completely current.

[Sky]

Seth chuckled.

"Of course you are dear." He said softly. He thanked her as he stepped through the entrance and looked around the old hotel. It looked entirely new though the outside made it look a little run down. The floors were extremely smooth and clean. The walls hadn't looked older than five years. He looked down at his skin, which looked purple because of the light.

((Sorry. My computer had a mini freak out.))

Alice looked around. The air smelled different, more spicy, somehow. She smelled the undertone of sweat and old thoughts as she slowly expanded her mind. There was a young blond behing the big desk and she smiled at them.

"Hello, can I help you with anything?" She asked in a light voice. Alice shook her head and smiled.

"No, thank you. We know where we`re headed." She started down the hall on the left and nodded at the girl as she passed. Vain human.

[Sky]

((It's cool. I'm slow at replying tonight because I'm doing a ton of other stuff.))

"Um...correction. You know where we're headed." Seth muttered to Alice as they passed the blonde receptionist. Where exactly were they going? Alice always surprised him. She was so unpredictable at times.

[potter_fan122]

Alice grinned.

"I told you, we`re dancing." She said coyly. The hallway continued to slope ever farther down. Finally, though, it ended with a set of large double doors. She stopped walking and tilted her head, clearly listening. "I hope you like crounds." She added before pushing the heavy door open.

The was a huge croud of people, and all of them were dancing with the beat of the music. Bodies were tightly packed on the dance floor, with was really just a large space tiled in black. There were black lights pulsing around everyone and music was pounding with a provacative beat.

Alice`s smile widened. "I may be old, but I still like to have fun."

[Sky]

((I'm sorry I haven't replied. My mind has just been in...other places. =P))


Seth squinted at first, trying to get used to the darker environment, but it didn't take him long. He could smell the stench of adrenaline and sweat through the large room and people were dancing like had never seen before. Girls were grinding each other or some guy, others were doing more inappropriate dances, and others were just dancing to the beat of the music.

A grin spread across his face as he looked to Alice.

"Let's do this!"

[potter_fan122]

Alice laughed and laced her fingers between his, pulling his out towards the throng of moving bodies. There was the overwhelming stench of sweat and blood, but she pushed it out of her mind. The strongest scent of them all was the sweet smell of Seth.

The music was a pulsing beat, enough to get anyone of their feet, and everyone was moving with the speed of the song. Alice raised her arms like the humans around her and began moving. She looked just like the others, and yet different somehow. More sure, or predatory.

[Sky]

Seth could only grin when he saw Alice raise her arms like everyone else. He was close to her, dancing, and looked at the other's before catching her eye. He could feel the vibrations from the beat of the music through his body.

[potter_fan122]

((Do you just want to skip ahead an hour or so? Instead of RPing about dancing?))

[Sky]

((Go for it.))

[potter_fan122]

Alice finally pulled away from the croud with laughter, clutching onto Seth`s hand.

"Come on. I don`t need to breathe, but you do." She said teasingly. She lead him towards one of the tiny tables placed on the edges of the room. "I`ve never danced like that before." She said. Her whole body seemed to be glowing. Lights were moving around the room rapidly, but there was a blacklight undertone to everything. Her pure white skin shone a soft purple color in sharp contrast to her black hair and dress.

[Sky]

Seth was breathing hard with little black spikes of hair sticking to his forehead. As they sat down and noticed how purple her skin looked compared to his.

"You look like an alien." Seth said.

[potter_fan122]

Alice laughed and looked down at her skin.

"Yeah, that happens sometimes." She smiled at Seth, then looked up and snapped at a man walking by with a tray of full glasses. There were tall drinks and short ones in an assortment of colors. Alice picked two identical ones and waved the man away, handing one to Seth.

"Drink it. It doesn`t have any alcohol in it, but they don`t know that." She jerked her head in the direction of the dance floor. After taking a sip she spoke again.

"So, is there anything you`d like to do? We have time."

[Sky]

Seth took a very large sip from the glass and wiped his lips with a napkin that was on the table. The liquid was cool and refreshing. He needed that.

"Actually," he said slowly, "there is something."
