Her anxiety blossomed in her chest like the fluttering wings of butterflies, her nerves were frayed and frantic and yet, Chizue knew she could not run from this opportunity. She needed to feed - her own fragile life force felt as if it was already slipping away by each passing minute. The boys were, thankfully, fully engrossed in their baffled confusion on the seemingly young child's appearance. They would hardly notice her existence. Just one touch - that was all she needed and then she could flee back into the relative safety behind the lock doors of Isolt's townhome. She swallowed down her fear, the gravel beneath the swing set crunching beneath her mary janes until she stepped up and over the wooden border and into the silent plush grass. Her very approach held an ethereal quietness to it as she reached out to the nearest boy. The colors of his aura danced with a magnificent vibrancy before her eyes, her fingers only barely touching his psychic energy before it began to draw itself into the dark gray hue that surrounded her - polluting her with its life. The transfer of energy was near instantaneous as his very personality slid into place over her far weaker one. Her fingers continued their forward movement, touching his shoulder with a genteel caress that seemed to startle him as he glanced back at her.
Her clear recognition of Anna-Marie was one the elder vampire was quick to catch onto as the girl grasped her offered hand - the two leaving the congregation of boys as abruptly as they had arrived, hardly garnering any further thought from them as they returned to their skateboarding and general tomfoolery. It was only once they were some distance away that Chizue finally dropped Anna-Marie's hand, the small vampire quick to comment upon the sharp contrast within the Asian woman. "Oh, you know, it's like a week before the cravings hit but I can safely push them back a month." She commented, far more up beat then her previous self, her hand gestures so reminiscent of a teenager as she spoke. Admittedly, Chizue was..young, by vampire standards and yet, of late, she had taken to nearly half starving herself if only to avoid any contact more than necessary with the outside world. Fear had gripped her heart like a vice since her kidnapping - it dissipating only in moments like this when her persona was tainted from a fresh feeding.
Regardless of the shift within her, she still listened acutely as Anna-Marie spoke of another vampire like her - a thing that Chizue hadn't even known existed. Besides herself, she had never met any that fed quite in the same way that she did. Still...it was...interesting to consider the way her brethren had taken to feeding, even if becoming a nun didn't quite appeal to Chizue in the same way. Her head cocked to the side as Anna-Marie asked after her own feeding preferences. A 'spike' was not usually what she sought, nor the devoted dullness that so often came with the ultra religious. "...I prefer bookstores." She answered after a moment, even if she made a face while she did so. The teenager she had taken over hardly held the same preferences as she did. The calm, intense, imaginative patrons of those cozy little bookstores seemed rather dull to the teenage persona compared to the hype and excitement of concerts and clubs and drugs.
