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.

Anna-Marie Belrose
Sebastian was avoiding her. This fact displeased the child vampire greatly. Ever since making the connection that she was his unintentional creator, Anna had gleefully sought him out. He protested much more than she ever remembered Ceara doing so playing her games. The past few nights though the male vampire had been pointedly absent from his hotel when she had shown up. Although Anna was perhaps a handful for the male vampire, she was much more behaved in his presence than she was on her own. So it was that mind frame that Anna found herself in tonight.
Anna was pouting, understandably so, by having Sebastian absent again. She lingered outside in the shadows of the alleyway beside the hotel until her pouting turned to frustration and then hunger ebbed its way in. With the need to feed in her mind it was easy for Anna to get carried away; taking out her frustration of the night in a tantrum of sorts on hapless victims. From the shadows Anna watched a finely dressed man walking with a small bouquet of flowers in one hand. Who he was coming to the hotel to meet didn't matter in the slightest to the hungry little vampire. Her affinity reached out with hundreds of years of finely tuned practice, looping around the man's very fiber of being until...with a yank of her hand his body was flung from the sidewalk into the alleyway where she stood. If it weren't for her marionette-like ability she would have to rely on her species' strength and speed alone which for her size could still manage to be difficult in order to take someone down to feed. With it, however, feeding was easy enough to no longer pose a thrill that one would normally get from a hunt.
It was lucky perhaps for the man that Anna wasn't truly starving. Her sharp fangs pierced the skin of his neck, taking her fill of the warm copper liquid that coated her throat, but leaving him alive. It wasn't often that Anna decided to let a victim live recently. Anna's crystalline blue eyes took a moment to survey the man's face and the fear in his eyes that tried so hard to stay open despite the sluggish nature that plagued him from such blood loss. She disliked it...disliked the weak but would let it live. With a firm snap of the wrist she smacked the man's head into the nearby dumpster then released him as his unconscious body crumpled to the ground. Just because she was letting him live didn't mean she was going to be nice. Anna wiped away the blood from her lips with the back of her hand before picking up the discarded bouquet of flowers from the ground.
Without a care she emerged from the alleyway to perch on a bench outside near the entrance of the hotel. The child settled the bouquet on the lap and began to pluck at the petals to litter them on the floor at her feet as she hummed. Here she was determined to wait and ignore the passerby's, very much not inclined to think how it would look for her to be sitting there with blood smeared on her hands and inevitably the flowers as she slowly and methodically demolished them.
