Dante stumbled down the narrow stairway, pulling a white tee over his head and making sure not to get the cig in his mouth caught on it. He already had too many shirts with cig holes burnt into them. Running his hand through his messy hair he messed it up just a bit more with a grunt. Chicks digged the 'just out of bed' look. And in actuality he had just gotten out of bed; even though it was close to nine p.m. What could he say? He was a night owl.
"Bought time you dragged you're ass down here." Came the voice of annoyance that Dante was well acquainted with and he sneered a smile at his land lord, who was also the owner of Black Dawn, the bar that Dante previously worked at. If you could call being the lead singer of a rock band an actual job.
More like a way to lazily pass the time.
Not that he didn't enjoy it. Being up there on stage and screaming his heart out actually did loads for his stress. But that wasn't only it. He liked being up there, the bright glow of the stage lights blinding his eyes and heating his skin. He liked the way the world seemed to come to a stop the second the guitar released that first lazy drawl, pulling you along on a slow hypnotic ride and then coming to a exploding somersault the moment it merged into a heavy based, head banging symphony.
There was nothing else in the world like it.
It was almost enough for him to ignore the nagging bastard of a landlord he had. Almost.
"It's not like I missed a gig is it? We don't start for five more minutes." Dante drew out in a bored tone, taking a long drag of his cig before flicking some ash to the floor.
His landlord, Zane, stared down at the ash like it was going to burn a hole in the floor before returning his gaze to him. "Yeah well sober up, I don't want you up there stumbling around. Go get a coffee before you get up." He said in that nagging tone that Dante had come to hate before walking stiffly away like he had a very large pole stuck up his very tight ass.
Flicking the man off Dante put his cig out on his tongue, squinting his eyes and enjoying the burning sensation before throwing the cig aside and walking to the bar. "Mind fixing me a black, sweet?" He asked Sadie, the cute little vampire bartender, making sure to add a wink.
The girl arched a brow at him before turning to pour him a cup of coffee. "Never knew you to sober up before a gig." The woman said, her cajun back ground heavy in her speech.
He watched as she bent to grab a stirrer from under the counter and admired her round little ass, grateful that she was wearing the tight white dress that had a fascination with crawling up her skin on it's own accord.
When a peek of dark red lace met his eyes he almost howled aloud, appreciating the view as long as he could until she straightened and turned to him again. Her chocolate brown eyes seemed to know exactly what he was thinking and twinkled micheviously.
"Like what you see, wolf?"
"Do you even have to ask?" He said with a cocky smile, taking the coffee and downing a large gulp. "Like the lace. Is it new? Makes me wonder if it comes with a matching top." He said, trying to picture her naked in the languarie. Her creamy dark skin would look like melted chocolate against the dark red of the fabric.
"Why don't you see for yourself?" Sadie said in a seductive tone before leaning over the bar just enough that he could see down her very low cut top.
Holy mother of god. No bra.
Growling softly he took another long swig of the coffee before slamming it down on the bar top. "Gotta go. Time to start." He said, realizing he sounded like a dumb cave man but couldn't help it.
Sadie waved him off with a wink and he made his way through the crowd towards the stage; having to force himself not to violently push aside anyone who bumped into him. He rolled his eyes when he spotted a crowd of wide eyed human women, knowing that they were most likely leeches; which was a term for humans that flocked to nonhuman beings. They were usually there for nothing more a wild night of sex; to see what everyone was talking about. They wouldn't walk away disappointed. All immortals were good in the sack; it was almost a ground rule. It was most likely something to do with they're heightened senses. Whatever it was though, Dante was glad, for it got him laid every night. Sometimes more than once.
He finally reached the stage and joined the rest of his band; who were busy setting up the equipment. They glanced up at his approach and nodded in greeting but said nothing. Even though they had known one another for almost two years, Dante's wouldn't say they were actually frriends. Well, THEY were. Just not with him. Dante wasn't friends with anyone. He was a loner by nature and didn't care for the thought of companionship in the least bit. In his mind people were only a nuisance. One that he made sure to ignore to his fullest ability.
He walked to the mike and glanced out at the crowd. They were already packing in near the stage, they're eager eyes drinking him in in a way that was almost enough to make a person uneasy. Then again, he wasn't an ordinary person. With a seductive grin he pulled his tee over his head before tossing it aside, aware of the look of longing in all of the women, and even some of the men's gazes.
This was the part he liked most, the moment just before they played. It was almost like he was teasing everyone and he was mean enough to enjoy it.

Nixx sat at a table near the back, empty bottle of beers littering the top of it, he'd been there for quite awhile drinking to say the least. He looked over to his side and smirked, he had snuck in a friend of his, a 16 year-old named Electra. Looking at her now he could tell that she was damn drunk, and it was hilarious.
He laughed and she looked over, glaring at him a little and huffing bfore looking up at the stage. "Yer a jerk, ye know tha' ye ass!" Electra swore at him the best she could and started to softly hiccough. The teen was a real fire-cracker, which was another reason he had broguht her there with him. He would need back up if he decided to cause some toruble and Electra was real wild when it came to fighting, especially when drunk.
"Shush, Elle. Let's listen to the band, you can hit me later." Nixx purred and patted her on the head before turning his gaze to the stage, his eyes landed on the man and he hummed, smirking to himself. He could smell girls, and men, becoming aroused at the sight of this man and shook his head to himself, people sometimes, so fucking horny.
Electra grew impatient and scowled, "SING SOMETHIN'!" She yelled out from her spot next to Nixx and he started to laugh at her, his grey-blue eyes swirling with amusement. He wa glad they were shielded by darkness in the back or else they'd have been getitng a lot of very angry looks.

Dante heard someone scream out for him to sing and scouted the area; searching for the source but unable to find it. Deciding not to dissipoint he gave a small nod to his band mates before they started a long whammy that was both eerie and energizing. Soon after the drums picked up, echoing softly at first and then becoming more fast and loud as if they were approaching a climax.
Dante started a low key, deep hum; staring down at the crowd as they pushed forward, anticipating the moment when he let lose and screamed out they're fate.
The exact moment when the guitar and drum fell silent he tilted his head back and let lose a wail, feeling his blood rush through his body in a crazed dance of joy.
When the guitar, drum, and base picked up again he fell into the lyrics and watched the frenzied motions that took over the crowd.
As Dante sang he began to reminence of the first night he had appeared on stage.
It had been a cold night in the dead of winter almost two years ago; he had made his way into Black Dawn with a plan to get so wasted he would be on his ass for days after. There had been a band up on stage, Downfall they were called.
Nothing particullary special about them, sure they had a nice sound and an alright singer; but nothing really spectacular; and the people in the bar knew this.
As Dante had threw back beer and watched the gig he had noticed that the lead singer was wasted, and staggering around drunkenly. His lyrics had been slurred and several times he would miss a word or two and would gain dark glares from his band mates. Amused at this Dante had watched as he was boo'd off the stage, where the owner had then fired the man.
The other band members had been in the middle of begging the owner for a second chance when a crazy idea had overcome him.
Before he knew it Dante was rising and walking towards the group.
"I believe you have an opening for lead singer?" He had said in a bored tone and Zane had turned to him with that pissed off look that was his constant facial expression.
"Who the fuck are you?"
"I'm the guy that's going to make you rich. Let me sing a gig with the band and you'll see for yourself."
After a little arguement with Zane and the band memebers he had eventually agreed to one song and before Dante knew it he was up on stage, the sound of Spiderbait's 'Black Betty' ringing in his ears.
The crowd had gone wild.
After the gig Zane had reluntantly hired him and a few days later Dante had moved into the loft above the bar.
Thinking on it it seemed like such a long time ago.
Soon the music fell silent and the only sound was the screaming approval of the crowd below. Staring down at them all Dante drew a cocky grin before it faltered and he glanced up with a frown, his head tilting back slightly as he scented the air.
His expression darkened suddenly, and he dropped the mike, his gaze swinging towards the entrance just as a group of people came in.
There were about five men, all tall and of strong built. And all Lykos.
Dante sneered as they're gazes found him and he turned from them, walking off the stage. "Sorry guys, I'm done for the night." He called behind him to his confused bandmates and bit out a barking command for distance when people tried to rush him.
He tried to make a wide path from the lykos, but knew by they're scent that they were curious of him and would most likely seek him out. Swearing loudly he headed for the bar. He was going to need a stiff drink.

Electra scowled even more when he stopped singing and stood up, swaggering a little, swaying on her feet. Nixx stood up and grabbed her shoulders and helped her walk over to the bar again. The young girl was swearing like a sailor, totally belligerent at the moment.
They reached the bar and Nixx made Electra take a seat and ordered a couple more drinks. He stood there, gripping Electra's small shoulder tightly. His eyes flickered over to Dante and roamed over him for a second before looking away again.
Nixx felt soemthing lean against him and looked down, Electra had passed out right against him, her face pressed into his side. He snorted in amusement, well, she wasn't going to be any help anymore. "Hey, babe," Nixx called to the bartender, "you got a phone I could use, i've gotta call a cab."

((happy birthday! ;D))
"I've seen that face before." Sadie said as she handed Dante a beer and looked around the bar. "There be wolves here."
Dante growled out in answer and took a deep swig of beer. "Why is it that every time a Lykos comes into the bar they just have to approach me?" He bit out in aggrivation before leaning across the bar and grabbing a tee that was stashed under the counter.
He pulled the white wife beater over his head with a grunt before finishing his beer. Sadie placed another before him instantly and he busyed himself digging into his pocket for his cigs.
He was vaguely aware of someone as they sat at the bar but didn't bother turning to look.
"Hey, babe, you got a phone i could use? I've gotta call a cab." The person called and this time Dante did look over as Sadie grabbed the phone under the bar and held it to him.
It was a man with shaggy dark brown hair and vivid blue-grey eyes. Dante frowned when he noticed a scar that ran along his right eye and crossed over the bridge of his nose to his left cheek. While wondering what could have caused such a wound his gaze drifted down to the woman, not girl really; that was passed out against him.
He turned back to his beer and took another swig. "You better get the minor out without the boss seeing; he's enough of a dick head to call the law."
"Aww, poor suga." Dante heard Sabine purr and arched a brow at her.

((Thank you! :3))
Nixx smirked and nodded his head, "If you hadn't exactly noticed, that's what i'm trying to do." He grinned at Dante and took the phone from Sadie, giving her a dazzling smile and saying his thank you's to her before dialing a taxi.
He felt movement against his side and looked over to see Electra sitting up, her eyes opening again. Nixx blinked, watching as Electra grabbed his beer bottle and started drinking again. "Hey, stop you're going to be sick." Nixx warned her bluntly but didn't bother trying to take it away from her. He really didn't want to stop her from drinking actually, it was far to amusing.
The taxi people answered and he gave them an address before hanging up. "Thank you, miss." Nixx smiled and handed the phone back to Sadie before turning to Electra and grabbing her face, pinching her cheeks before pulling out some sunglasses and putting them on the girl, hiding her bright eyes and making her look older. He sniffed her and smiled, she didn't smell young either, and thankfully her figure was nice and filled in. "Awe, you're going to hate me in the morning." He taunted happily and then sat down on a bar stool.
"Well, if that doesn't work.... I don't mind paying a fine or going to jail... Again." The man muttered to himself under his breath and stole his beer back from Electra, taking a swig of it and sighing, his eyes landing on Sadie and moving over her slowly.
The man cleared his throat and watched the vampire, one eyebrow raised as he scoped her out. "How's work tonight?" He asked Sadie, ignoring Dante for the time being.

Dante rolled his eyes as the man began talking to Sadie, and then again as Sadie gave her prettiest smile and leaned against the bar towards him.
Woman really didn't waste any time did she? She had only been flirting with him minutes before and now she was on to another man.
"Terribly boring." She said with a pretty pout. "I've seen you here a few times before. Not too often. I'm Sadie."

"I bet, pretty ladies like you enjoy some excitement, don't they, not just the repitiveness of serving drinks, but i'm sure you make some very interesting conversation while on the job." Nixx replied easily and took another swig of beer, he was quite drunk, but he still knew how to talk to good-lloking woman.
The man nodded his head, smiling a large, white-toothed smile. "Yeah, I come around here every now and then, I like to drink and be entertained, to say the least, the nights been rather boring for me, till I started speaking with you that is," Nixx paused and smirked, eyes sparkling, "why don't you excite me, babe?" He chuckled and sat back in his stool a little, sipping at his beer.
A man walked into the bar and spotted him and Electra, the man walked over, eyeing Nixx and then the teen before sighing and shaking his head. "Poor kid won't know what hit her." The man commented and Nixx smiled and shrugged, beginning to dig in his pockets for some money.
Electra suddenly sat up, raising a hand and grinning like the chesire cat and pulled out her wallet and pulled out some money and shoved it into the mans hands. "Now take me the fuck home ye dipshit, cocksucking asshole, fucking... Bitch." The girl swore violently and the man blinked and then helped her up, shaking his head all the while.
"See you." The man called to Nixx and he nodded before his attention went back to Sadie, his eyes bright with amusement and curiousity.

"You gotta be kidding me." Dante muttered to himself before glaring at how flighty Sadie was being. Who the hell was this guy? Who the hell did he think he was scooping out on his territory? It took all Dante had not to run behind the bar and lift up his leg so the man would know that Sadie was his. Okay, well she wasn't his exactly, but that didn't mean he'd let some trash from the street sample her first.
Dante had had his eye out on Sadie for a long time now, and didn't plan giving her up so easily.
He watched the cabby come and and help carry the redicilously drunk teenager out before turning to Sadie. "Seeing as I don't have any more gig's tonight, why not knock off early so we can go do something, sweet." He said as he lit up a cig and took a long drag.
Sadie arched a delicate brow at him before a slow grin caught her lips. "Feeling territorial, are we?"
Dante rolled his eyes at her and had opened his mouth to reply when he felt the stares burning holes in his back.
"Better give me a shot of tequilla, Sadie." He said with a sigh.
Sadie frowned at his sudden change in behavior then her gaze was directed over his shoulder before her eyes met his again. "Looks like they sniffed you out." She mumbled as she handed him a shot and he swallowed it in one gulp.
"Just fucking great." He bit out. He was so tired of this shit. So tired of every god damn time a Lykos came into the bar they just had to sniff all around his ass.
He felt the pack close in around him and didn't even bother turning around, and instead took another long drag of his cig.
"I don't believe I've ever seen you before. You new to the city?" Came the voice of the alpha and Dante released his smoke in a series of 'O's' before shrugging.
He could tell by they're scents that the pack leader was aggrivated when he didn't answer.
"What pack do you belong to?" Came the man's voice again and Dante took another shot as Sadie handed it to him.
"Don't." He barked out one single word before staring in boredom at the ceiling.
"You're alone?" Came the confused question and Dante rolled his eyes.
"Never heard of the expression 'Lone Wolf'?"
"Every Lykos desires the companionship of a pack."
"Guess I'm the exception." Dante said before putting his cig out and firing up another one.
Just when he was about to place it to his lips one of the pack member's came forward and slapped it out of his hand. "The Alpha is speaking to you, you'd best show some respect, Whelp!"
Dante narrowed his eyes to daggers at the term that was used for Lykos that were nothing more than puppies. The man had been trying to call him weak.
"Boy, you weren't even sucking on you're mother's tit yet when I went through the Ascension." He bit out, referring to the time when a Lykos reached it's full adulthood and became in control of all it's magickal powers; which typically happened around two hundred years of age.
He could feel the wolf's surprise and anger at being spoken to in such a manner but luckily his Alpha spoke up before he could.
"Forgive Silus, he doesn't know his manners. Though its not hard to see why. It's hard to believe you're so old when you appear so young."
Dante shrugged. "What can I say, I have good genes."
"Even a Lykos's genes aren't that good." The dumb dick that had slapped his cig away said agian and Dante had to close his eyes and count to five to keep from ripping out the boys throat. It wouldn't be good for him to kill someone. Zane would most defiantly fire him. Then where the hell would he go? "You aren't one of them hybrids are you?"
Dante felt his body tense at the boy's words and took a deep breathe. Stay calm, stay calm.
"Came across a hybrid once. Pretty little thing. With long black hair and freckles along her nose."
Dante's hand twitched around his shot glass.
"She had run away from her pack, if I remember right. I really liked her, until she told me that she was a hybrid. Mixed breed filth like that don't deserve to be alive. So me and a couple of the men took her out back and took turns showing her what a real Lykos was capable of."
Dante listed with clenched teeth as the rest of the men in the pack began to laugh, as if they were remembering everything. His hand clenched around his shot glass so hard that it busted. It seemed at that first smell of blood a trigger broke loose inside him and the next thing he knew his fist was slammed into the dick head's face. After the initial surprise the pack leaped at him, but Dante had his head around the barstool already and by the time they reached him had swung it across a few of they're heads.

Nixx turned around on his barstool to watch the fight, his eyes widening in interest and excitement. He loved the thrill of a good bar fight but he kept himself seated, not wanting to get in Dante's way.
He felt somehthing hit him and his beer tilted in his hand and spilt down the front of his shirt. "Oh, for fucks sakes, these fucking beers here cost a lot of dough." Nixx swore to himself nastily and set the glass on the bar counter and glared at the fighting men, pissed off.
One 'lykos' came past him and he stuck his foot out and tripped the bastard, watching as the wolf fell into one of his buddies. Nixx laughed silently and stood up straight, stretching out his stuff muscles and moving partially out of the way, if the fight went to far he'd step in and help a little.

Dante was vaguely aware of the few humans in the bar as they began to scream and run for the exit. Good. Now he didn't have to hold back.
Ignoring the cheers from the group of immortals that had banded around them he called forth all of his powers and sent a blast of electricity square in one of the pack member's chest. The Lykos went sailing across the room to hit with a loud 'Thud' against the far wall before sliding down slowly.
At the sight the rest of the pack stilled, leaping back with wide eyes.
"He can use magick." One whispered, almost in awe. "Is he really that old?'
"He can't be. It's something else. I can sense another essence in him. He's mixed with something other than Lykos." Came dick head's biting reply and Dante rolled his eyes as the pack began to shift to they're wolf forms.
When they were all foaming at the mouth and growling at him he shook his finger at them in warning. "I really wouldn't do that if I were you." Of course they didn't listen.
As they surged towards him Dante called forth his magick and let the change come over him. In the blink of an eye where he had stood was now a wolf about four foot in hight, with midnight black fur and glowing yellow eyes.
Once the pack saw how incredibly large he was they all haltered, they're tails tucking between they're legs as they backed away in confusion.
What the fuck are you?! One of them asked and he snarled.
Believe me you don't want to fucking know. Now get the fuck out of here before I rip out all of you're throats!
It didn't take long for his words to sink in before they turned tail and shot from the bar.
Sighing inwardly Dante changed back to his human form, frowning when he saw that he was naked. "Never could get that right." He muttered before Sadie handed him a pair of jeans and tee from behind the bar. He put them on as quick as he could, ignoring the stares of various women and sat back down at the bar, grabbing the beer that Sadie offered and swigging it.
"What was that....third time this week? They just don't get the idea." He said with a sigh.

The biker watched everything happen, his interest reaching new heights as he took in everything that was going on. He heard the humans screaming and looked after them, eyebrow raising, they really shouldn't have bee in a non-human bar in the first place.
He resumed his seat as soon as all of the action was over, a little diappointed he'd missed it but not exactly caring much in the long run. He watched Dante, his elbow resting on the counter and his chin rested on his fist. "Well aren't you just the shit." Nixx complimented, partically serious but mostly being sarcastic.
Nixx turned to Sadie and grinned at her, "It appears in the excitement my drink was spilt, could I have another beer please?" He asked after motioning to his beer soaked shirt.
Quite sadly he was actually sort of hard, not noticeably so though, just sort of twitching a little bit. It was from being around a sexy woman and being around a fight, and watching people fight always got him going a little bit, bit more so the sexy woman. He could also blame it on the smell of arousal that lingered throughout the place.

Dante glanced over at the man and arched an eye brow at his sarcastic tone and had opened his mouth to deliever a biting come back when suddenly his name was billowed throughout the bar. Tensing a moment he then rolled his eyes with a heavy sigh. "Oh fuck. Now I'm in deep shit." He muttered and glared at Sadie's failed attempt to hide a snort.
He swung around on his bar stool to see Zane bulldozing his way through the crowd with steam swirling from his ears. Okay, not really but there just as well should have been.
"How many times do I have to tell you, Lykos." He sneered the last word out like it was an insult and Dante bared his fangs at the man.
"What the fuck am I suppose to do! You want me to sit back with my tail stuck up my ass while some little bitch's insult me?! I am a man, and I have an ego if you hadn't noticed." Dante bit out and Zane moaned in aggrivation.
"I'm getting tired of having to erase the human's memories every time you decide to have a pissing match with someone!"
"Actually, there were five of them. If you couldn't tell." Dante said as he swung back around to the bar and he tried not to grin as Zane cried out once again.
"Besides. As you can see they soiled one of your customers shirts." Dante said, jerking his head in the direction of the man a couple of bar stools across from him. He wouldn't say that his shirt had most likely gotten messed up during the fight. And most likely by him. "It would be bad for business if they weren't punished."
Zane's glare was directed to the guys shirt before he closed his eyes and sighed deep. He was silent a moment, like he was gathering his control before turning back to Dante. "One more time, Lykos; and you won't get off so easily."
Dante flicked him off as his manager turned and stormed back to his office upstairs before pulling out a cig and lightening up.
"I swear that man has something permanently stuck up his ass."
"Zane's just an old man, he's suppose to be cranky." Sadie said with a half grin, looking at where Zane had dissapeared from.
"Yeah well I'm pretty sure I got a few years on him and I'm not such a bitch."

"I suppose it's like that a lot here?" Nixx guessed lightly, referring to all of the excitement that had been going on that night. It seemed like a regular occurence in the bar, though he wasn't usually around to see it.
He cleared his throat, fiddling with his damp shirt a little, he pondered on taking it off and then just zipping hi leather biker jacket up to hide his chest but thought better of it instead. He didn't want to gather to much attention by showing off his scarred up chest, back, shoulders, and arms.
Nixx swigged his beer and set it down lightly ont he counter, looking at Sadie with suddenly hungry eyes. "So what are you doing after work, babe?" He grinned at her, his fingers rapping along the counter top gently, not making any noise that could be heard by human ears. His free hand absently played with his very tiny pony tail that peeked out at the base of his neck.

Dante watched with a stern frown as Sadie leaned against the bar towards him, her very nice breast full on display as they threatened to spill out of her shirt. "Why, you wanting to go have some fun?" She winked at him and smiled wide, a flash of fang showing. "Not scared that I'll bite are you?"
"Oh bloody hell." Dante said with a roll of his eyes, though he couldn't deny that he was a tad bit jealous. Those fangs were meant for him, dammit! And he sure as hell wouldn't be losing them to some flea infested biker.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten that you've promised me the rest of you're night." Dante said, pouting prettily before giving a michevious wink.
Sadie practically purred as she stepped back. "Why don't you boys fight over me a little more and I'll see who I think looks sexier?" She laughed then, a whimsical quality to her tone. "Actually, I hate to disappoint you both but I'm afraid I'm quite busy tonight."
