East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

It was always bitterly ironic how it took something bad happening to realize the good you had. Nadya knew now that it had been a bad idea to disobey Tetra and take Tobi into Syn in their attempts to try and win him back into their rag-tag team of a pack; she doubted if she had even known why Tetra had tried to keep them away from that place that it would have gone differently. Tobias and herself had wanted him back for good, not just his visits during the day in which he always seemed overly exhausted to do much, and nothing probably would have dissuaded them from trying. Now, Nadya was left on her own, escaping that night while Tobias hadn't, leaving her to essentially be without a pack again, a simple wanderer in this city like so many others. The thing that surprised Nadya was how much she found she missed Tobias, despite his pacing and bipolar-handicapped-feral nature...she had grown accustomed to it. Though they butted heads they had started to find a way to get along most of the time and he had even passed whatever threshold he had to break past that "personal bubble" of his with her and didn't seem to have a problem with touch.

All that was gone, her brother and companion, in one foul swoop by one sadistic vampire. At first Nadya had stuck close to the club, unwilling to accept such separation, but there was always that threat that she would be taken and it eventually pushed her away. The quiet in her mind, the lack of the familiar pack bond, was difficult to deal with at first as she spent a lot of time in her blackened jaguar form, taking out her frustration and anger on random passerbys and the poor men on the docks. It was bitter sweet on the days that she saw them, waiting for them just at the edge of the block where the club stood, relishing in their company but far more withdrawn with each visit, knowing they would leave her just before nightfall anyways. Sometimes her brother and Tobias wouldn't show for the day, lord knows what kept them from being able to find an out and on those days Nadya wandered further from the warehouse district which she had since refused to leave without them. So when they hadn't appeared one day Nadya had been frustrated but it was normal by then, she returned to her waiting spot on the block on the second day and when they hadn't appeared she grew angrier but still stayed close in the warehouse district, on the third day she stood there a couple hours before finally peeling herself away...away from the warehouses and away from the club...unwilling to wait any longer.

It had been almost a week since that day and Nadya hadn't returned to look for them, instead she had remained downtown, becoming proficient in pick-pocketing to pay for food and stays in the hotels. Today was a good day, the clouds had moved out and the sun was out, warming her skin and lifting her mood. She had gotten enough money to get into a hotel for the time being that had a pool on the roof and was taking full advantage of the good weather. Nadya had on her zebra patterned bikini, her hair slicked back and wet as she held lightly to the side of the pool, treading water slightly, flirting with a man on one of the chairs and thoroughly distracting him from whatever work he was supposed to be doing. She laughed at whatever joke he said before pulling herself from the water and reclining on a chair a couple yards from him, determined to sunbathe the day away. It wasn't long before the man gathered his things and wandered over, "I'm in room 405." He stated, handing Nadya a room key which she took with a smirk before he hurried off. Nadya regarded the card key in her hand with mild interest, after all who needed to pay for a room when she could get one just by flirting with a guy. His scent had been human so his threat level in her was non-existent...she was alone now after-all, no one to tell her what she could and couldn't do.
