“You made a mistake? You helped him and other vampires murder innocent people! What’s the matter with you? You just locked us all up like we were rats or something. What did you get out of helping Constantine? Hm?” 

“Yes Elijah, I made a mistake. It happens, even to us old ones. There is nothing the matter with me except I suppose maybe too much time around vampires. What I got out of it? I guess I got my curiosity satisfied. I wanted to know why they seemed to enjoy killing so much and what they got out of it. I wanted to see how they hunted in that situation and how many of them would give into their instincts and I wanted to see if I could hold you all there. I found out I could, barring an older and stronger witch taking down the spell, but even then I hear she needed help to make sure she didn’t lose her concentration.” Altair realized he had run on and paused before taking a breath and continuing. “But I see now that my curiosity was not worth all of that trouble and I apologize. It’s why I’m here talking to you, to make amends.”

Altair had been sitting in the cafe sipping his coffee and making sure to avoid eye contact with anyone. He had gotten several dirty stares throughout town since the ball and wasn’t in the mood to deal with that now. He was scrolling through news articles on his phone when he heard someone sit across from them. Sighing he looked up at them and smiled politely. “Hello, did you wish to say something?”

“Oh… it’s you.” Elijah stood up straighter now the kids had gone and ran off. “As for real magic cheating, just a little bit. What can I do for you?” 

Altair wasn’t all that surprised by the greeting he received from Elijah, especially after what he had done. He deserved it though and wasn’t here to cause any more trouble. “I owe you an apology, which you have yet to receive, so that’s why I’m here. I made a mistake and it cost people their lives. So I apologize. I am sorry for all the bad I have done. I came to see if there was anyway I could repent.”

“Watch, watch.” Elijah pulled out a quarter from behind a little kids ear while he was in the park, making them all laugh before he handed the coin to the kid. “And…” He rubbed his hands together to perform a simple spell which made his deck of tarot cards appear then disappear, making them cheer a little louder. “More! More!” Chuckling, he finally glanced up and saw someone watching. “You guys should be getting along to the swings.” He stepped back and watched them run off, chattering among themselves. “Misdirection.” Elijah pulled his tarot deck from thin air again. 

Altair had been walking around looking for Elijah. Ever since his part in the ball massacre, Altair had been under constant supervision and hadn’t really found the time to speak to the man. He found the man in the park entertaining children and raised an eyebrow at the antics. “Isn’t using real magic cheating?” He smiled slightly before becoming serious again. “I’ve been meaning to talk to you. Have you got time?”

Why the hell did you join the vampires?

Like every bad decision. It seemed like a good idea at the time.

Are you more optimistic or pessimistic?

I would consider myself more realistic. I base things on facts, not hopes that something good will happen or a doom and gloom attitude thinking the worst will happen.

Elijah barely had enough time to send Anise a message, via a butterfly when he spotted Altair just casually strolling through the chaos. When he was sure that Anise would get his message, he stood up and grabbed the other witch by the front of his clothes. “Release them. Release the damn spell! NOW!” 

Altair immediately removed Elijah’s hand from his jacket and put up a ward so he could not easily do it again. “I’m sorry, but no, not until that vampire is stopped or until I’ve been asked to, by him, not you.” He looked around and saw that the chaos was in full swing and saw that some people had stopped trying to get out and instead had taken to hiding. “Shouldn’t you be helping the others instead of bothering me? I would think that would be your main concern right now.”

Iris was annoyed with the fact that the vampires were making trouble. Not that she truly cared, but she didn’t want her dress to get ruined by the blood splattered everywhere. “Can you pass me the bottle of wine?” Iris said to Altair. If she was going to have to be stuck in his place, she might as well drink. She could have easily moved and grabbed it herself, but she wasn’t in the mood to go around someone.

Altair had expected the woman to berate him or try to stop him but instead she asked for the bottle of wine which she easily could have gone around to get herself. He handed her the bottle and raised an eyebrow at her. “You’re not panicking like the others. Why is that?”

Altair had been reluctant at first to go along with Constantine’s plan. Being a witch he did feel some kind of loyalty to them, but he felt more towards Brendan, a vampire than anyone else. It was no wonder he found himself in these situations. Still, his only part was to keep everyone in the room, he didn’t have to kill anyone and he didn’t have to fight them. He watched with morbid curiosity as the vampires began their killing. He had been sure to place a ward around himself too to make sure that no one could get a sneak attack in on him. He saw someone come up to him and try to get his attention but couldn’t really hear them over the noise. “I’m sorry, what was that? I can’t hear you over the sound of all the screaming. Please speak louder.”

Ashlyn was excited for the chance to drink and get to know some of the other witches in the coven. Seeing Altair, she hadn’t had the chance to introduce herself to him just yet. Walking up to the bar to stand next to him, she smiled when he offered to buy her a drink, “a martini, thank you.” She said, looking over at Altair, “thank you for the drink.”

Altair looked at the witch next to him and recognized her from town. He hadn’t had the pleasure to introduce himself yet and appreciated her making it easy. “You’re very welcome. I’m Altair, it’s nice to meet you.” He took her hand and kissed it before returning it to it’s place on the bar. “How are you finding the party?”

Julia stood by the bar. Not that it was like she was downing drinks, but it seemed like a good place to stand around. Suddenly she felt someone mentioning her. Looking over, she blushed a bit. “Oh…um white wine is good.” She nodded a bit. “Thank you.” She smiled at the other. “Even though I do believe it is an open bar.” She laughed. “It’s the thought that counts, right?” She looked him over. “I like your outfit.”

Altair smiled at the young woman as she mentioned the open bar. “I do believe you are the first person that caught that. Good on you. Still, I did make sure the bartender would get it to you expediently.” He took her hand and gently spun her to take a look at her dress and smiled. “I like yours as well. You look absolutely beautiful. Surely you can’t be here alone? The men in this town cannot possibly be that blind. Please allow me this dance.” Altair needed a dance partner and who better than a beautiful young woman standing alone at the bar. “I promise to be a perfect gentleman, unless of course you ask otherwise.”

“An old fashioned please.” Elijah turned back to Altair, seeing how he was dressed, not at all surprised by what he was seeing. “Trying to show up the hostess are you?” there was a slight teasing tone to his voice.

Altair nodded at the bartender to make sure they got Elijah’s order then turned back to the other witch. “You should know by now Elijah, I show up everyone when I go to parties. Especially if they’re not my own.” He hadn’t interacted much with the younger witch, but found him pleasant to be around and quite knowledgeable. “Don’t you worry though, your lady still outshines everyone else at the party. I can’t help it that I draw attention. Well, I probably could, but I won’t” He smiled as the bartender brought back their drinks and held his up to toast with Elijah. “To Gummy and her extravagant party.” 

[magic-inthe-wind-blog]

Altair was always one for parties, so as soon as he heard about the ball he went shopping for a new outfit to wear for it. He always looked good, but he knew he needed to look extraordinary to get the attention of literally everyone. He walked into the ball and smiled as Gummy greeted him. He returned the greeting, shook her hand and continued on to the festivities and approached the bar. “What’s the strongest thing you’ve got here?” He looked over and saw someone next to him about to order and smiled at them then the bartender. “And whatever they like as well.”

She went back to the bar to grab her and Faen another set of drinks.  Danica was sure to always be gracious date.  As she walked, the mermaid stumbled a bit and giggled, glancing around to see if anyone noticed.  Catching the eye of someone else she grinned, not really caring if she was caught getting schwasted.  “Guess Imma a little tipsy.  Whoops.”

Altair smiled at the fae founder and shrugged his shoulders. “I hardly see that as a problem, you and the other founders always work so hard, it’s about time you be allowed to have a bit of fun.” He took her hand and kissed it then helped her over to the bar. “I’m Altair, and if I’m not too mistaken, you are Danica, correct? It’s a pleasure to meet you. What’ll you have to drink?”

The cat hissed at the vampires presence who just hissed right back at it. “Check the central part of town, you’re in Midnight.” He indicated upwards to all the shade this part of town was cloaked in. 

Altair narrowed his eyes at the man in front of him and cast an identification spell, though he suspected who and what this man was from his looks. As he guessed, he was a vampire and one who looked familiar. “First of all, that was not very kind, the poor things is just scared of you, secondly, do you have family in town by any chance?”

Rosalie leaned forward. Palms wresting on her knees, she inspected the little one carefully. The kitten was adorable and at first glance appeared to be doing okay. Of course, with strays there was always a risk. “If that’s what you like,” the elf said sweetly before looking up at as she straightened from her bent position. “I”m Rosalie. I can do a physical exam here but if you wanted to be through, which I would recommend, we need to go to the clinic.” 

Altair smiled at how attentive the young woman was to the creature in his arms and nodded his head. “I think Ebony suits it. It’s new owner will be able to change the name however if they so choose.” As much as he liked the kitten, he had no intention of keeping it, at least not long term. “If you deem it healthy, I’ll be more than happy to foster it until we find a home for the little one.” He clutched Ebony close to him and stood up straight. “I’ll be happy to follow you Miss Rosalie. Please lead the way.”
