Demonic Encounters

Irina Prowled silently as a shadow atop the rooftops, as she so often did when she sought prey demons to kill. Sometimes she would just be, stalking over a group picking out one to follow until they where alone and then strike hidden in the embrace of the night. Tonight was no exception. With the assumption that most, not all humans, go home at night and Irina would most likely find a demon to pierce with her arrows.

Of course, there is always that little doubt telling her that who she follows may not be a demon, so she devised a test and as with most tests it isn't foolproof however it has proven quite helpful. She was about to do her little test when something was wrong, her first instinct screamed that whoever she was following heard her arrow nudge her bow, but withholding decisions until she can make a better more educated gift.

Needing to duck behind the roof, loosing sight, because the weather was lousy for her activities, no clouds means the moon could potentially blow her cover by casting her shadow onto the ground with its illumination. Her belief that she was following a demon only grew stronger though her test was still needed.

She found that by surprising her prey, seeing if they somehow change or if not then by gauging their reactions, it was the next best thing to a demon tracking artefakt thing, if those things even existed but that is why she went to school, to find out about such things. When she could actually train her arrow on her target, without fear of being caught until after the first arrow landed, aiming first at the back as it was the easiest target and then moving on to the head.

Irina was a master archer and aimed one last time for good measure. She shoot the arrow, hitting her target, the ground. Her intentions was not to kill, at least not yet. The intent was to grace the side of the head, maybe cutting a few strands of hair but hopefully they would feel the air rush past their check.

But was the test a fail, as her blood rushed she couldn't tell if they had spoken before or after the arrow landed, but she did have the perfect answer to the question they asked, at least if you asked her "I am the night patrol".

In Irinas experience if it had been a shifter type of demon, their reflexes would make them shift, if even for a split second. Though if they had nerves of steel they could stay in Human form but then that would not explain running away, unless they where acting out Human behavior. Two ifs makes for very unlikely occurrence, like one in a million, though it was most likely not a shifter Irina knew there was still a tiny possibility, deciding to putting the thought in the back burner while still trying to determine its species.

Keeping up with the lie that she was the night patrol, she asked it "I have heard rumors of a vampire who breaks the Vampire eating law", though talking on her nightly hunt was quite tame for Irina, it had initiated the conversation and she intended to use it to her advantage. Maybe it could prove that it wasn't a Vampire and though it was a lie there may be a clue to an actual Vampire to hunt.

Still just a shadow atop the roofs, with only her golden eyes visible from that distance between themselves, unless the other had supernatural eyesight they would not see other details, unless she was more illuminated or got closer. When she heard the word civil spoken from something she believed to be a demon, her skin shifted to a little more rough. She also lost some accuracy with this change.

"Funny, coming from one such as you." she whispered, though not intended for the others ear, she really could not care, since she would kill it once she was certain it was a demon and this one seemed cooperative enough to take advantage of, to learn more. Because killing an innocent Human would make her a murderer.

Ok, so he wasn't a vampire and with a reaction like that, he had to be human or at least not a demon, which meant that she had broken yet another law.. They weren't supposed to expose the supernatural to others who didn't know about it.

Irina jumped down from the roofs, landing with a pose in similar fashion of how knights kneel for their king. The human was to her right as she slowly stood up again, still with her bow attached on her back and as she stood up her skin smoothed out to look human again and with no thoughts of demons her eyes returned to light blue.

Turned her head to him with arms in the air to show she was unarmed aside from the bow on her back "You are not what I had hoped, my bad.." and with that she turned away to leave and let her arms rest.

Irina hear what she wanted to hear, thinking that he called her a demon, her head spun in his direction quite fast as she turned to yell at him "Both my parents, by blood where Humans" her voice loud though not quite yelling. Her eyes changed back to golden again and her teeth where more sharp, with tiny canines growing from the corners of her mouth, She was Human, just.. Just infected with abomination , or so she had told herself ever since then.

"I didn't know what you where, but after tonight I know that I have said too much already" From what Irina could tell, telling others who are human and knows nothing or possess limited knowledge about the supernatural is a violation of the law. Lost in thoughts of how to deal with this, it wasn't the first time she had broken the law but in her mind killing demons didn't count and therefore this was the first law she considered. Walking back and forth thinking and trying to find of a way to fix it, while partially ignoring the other. After all fixing her mistake came first.
