"I didn't know you had family in New York." Adrian said in slight surprise as he moved to sit next to her. "Then again, you barely talked about family at all, so I shouldn't sound that surprised..."

"I don't. My parents are dead. Damien's parent's read my book, realized I was talking about their son and eventually tracked us down. They met Calista and spent some time with us, but they're retired so they moved about a half an hour away so they could be close to Calista and watch her on the occasion that I need a babysitter." Amaya told him with a shrug.

People looked upon him like he was a monster. He was, but that wasn't the point. Even though he had a trench coat, dark glasses, and a fedora, and just because he was taller than most didn't mean that they could look at him like they knew what the clothes were hiding. It was pissing him off.
If it wasn't for Master Vamp's plan, he would kill them all right now. The master knew bets though and the beast feared punishment more than he felt the urge to end the citizens around him. Stopping in front of a building, he leaned against it to wait for the most opportune time.
((It's Amaya's house/place of residence.))

"Not going to visit them too? I know how much you liked Damien after all. And it's almost Christmas, they're the closest thing you have to family right, outside of Calista." Adrian pointed out.

Amaya shook her head with a light sigh. "I don't enjoy being reminded about him still. I spend time with them a few times a year, but we aren't that close. They want to spend time with their granddaughter though, so I let them when I can." She told him, shrugging a little.

"I suppose that makes sense.....Does Calista even remember him?" Adrian asked, if only because he couldn't think of any good way to change the topic. Otherwise he would've dropped the subject of Damien right then and there.

((Early evening. They'll leave the apartment in a post or two))
"Not really. I stopped telling her stories and she stopped imagining him for three years. His parents have been showing her pictures and home videos and telling her what he was like and s**t like that. I tell her what I remember when she asks, but no, she only saw him twice, and she wasn't even a year old then." Amaya told him, resting her head in her hands.

"....Are you afraid of heights?" Adrian asked spontaneously. "It's two days 'til Christmas so I have no presents to contribute, not that I'd have any idea what to get you even if I did, but I think I know of a good substitute. Assuming you have no problem with heights." he said with a bit of a twinkle in his eye.

"I'm afraid of falling from heights." Amaya told Adrian, giving him a wary look. "Why?" She asked, standing up as she walked into the living room, moving Calista along to go pack.

"Closest thing I could possibly give as a Christmas present. You'll just have to wait until dark." Adrian said with a bright smile. "Assuming you trust me to keep you from falling."

"I do. Or I at least trust myself to just fall into a shadow portal if you do let me fall." Amaya teased, kissing Adrian's cheek. Once Calista was ready, they put on their coats and she locked the door behind them, heading outside to catch a train to Calista's grandparents house. As soon as she left the building though, Amaya felt a chill go up her spine and she looked around for the source, finding a man leaning against the complex. Something felt...off about him and she seemed frozen as she stared at him.

The beast stood straight as he smelled his pray. Vamp had collected a scrap of clothing from each mutate ever to fight. Well, cloth or blood. The beast smiled and from the shadow of his fedora one could see gleaming fangs. Araspy and deep voice emanated once those teeth parted. "Hello Miss Amaya. I must say, I'm a big fan. You were so feral in the arena, so...enticing." The man continued to smile as he unbuttoned the trench coat and took off the fedora.
A gruesome monster stood in front of the mutate. A grisly being of only muscle, no flesh .His muscles were big though and he seemed as if he felt no pain as the cool breezes of the night brushed up against him. He was now happy, he was able to kill. His target? Amaya and any mutate he came across.

"I'm done with that place. What the ******** do you want?" Amaya growled, taking her monster form as she shoved Calista behind her protectively. His appearance didn't phase Amaya, she'd seen enough over the years in the arena that he looked normal to her. Shadows began to roll around Amaya, they seemed almost anxious to fight.

"Language..." The creature taunted. He was excited. He got the honor of killing this thing. "Isn't it obvious? I want to kill a Queen of Blood. I want to kill you. And don't think I'm done there. I'm going to kill every mutate I see." He began to laugh, the long creepy laugh of a deranged killer. His eyes widened and he crouched.
"Your move, Queen." anyone could see his muscles tense in the light of the streetlamp. The whole thing was just revolting, and a little scarring. That is, if your sane. His nose hole flared and his tongue licked the muscle around his teeth. "I can already taste the blood that will pour."
