The Spanish Steps

It seems as though someone had a Death Wish.  Nothing Embriella had done in the last two weeks served any other purpose than to get her one step closer to an untimely demise.  Opportunities seemed to present themselves to her.  She'd take charge and go after the prize.  A lap top, some guy, a chance to piss someone off.   Only in hindsight had she been able to see the self-destructive course she'd led. 
Stealing Loke's lap top was one of the single greatest things she'd done.  It over shadowed the sale of her vineyards, it over shadowed killing the man who had abused her as a youth.  It over shadowed the day she'd discovered who she was deep inside.  The night spent with Tim also ranked pretty high on her list of things to have done in Rome.  Though, that particular episode was somewhat taxing.  Sure, sure...a night of fun in the rain didn't seem to do much harm until she had to eat at the Cafe in his neighborhood.  She got jumped for the lap top, she got maimed for sleeping with Tim, and sooner or later, she'd meet up with the red headed amazon of the pack.  Setting that classic car aflame certainly would have pissed her off, and now she knew she was being hunted. 

So what?  Embriella liked the feeling of chaos which now consumed her life.  She had only one regret.  Not being strong enough yet to win the fights she picked.  She supposed it didn't matter.  There was no ambitious cause when it came to her kin.  Each had their own way of doing things, and Embriella hadn't found the guidance she was hoping for in Rome. 
The clock was ticking.  Embri sat on the second tier of the Spanish Steps.  The Piazza di Spanga had long been a tourist attraction in Rome.  The unusual architecture consisting of three levels of ramps and stairs created a fan, drawing both residents and visitors from all over.  Tonight however, the air was quite chilly.  Embri had made it that way.  There was no wind, no downward gusts to elude or suggest a location of anyone.  It was simply cold and  still.  Dressed still in the long black pea coat, dark jeans and black turtle neck.  She had added a little extra padding by way of a flak vest so to hinder the re maiming of her new nipple.  She brushed up the sleeve of her jacket, eyes narrowing in on the setting.  Three hours had past...and the waiting begun.  It was time to a Demon to meet her Dark Lord's play thing....

Llidya had picked up the scent easily enough when she went back to the scene of a crime. Well, easily enough was a bit of an exageration. It'd taken a good thirty minutes to pick out the odor through the rest of them. But the point was, she'd found it, and now she sat, on her motorcycle, across from the Spanish Steps. She'd nearly lost her scent as she'd gotten close, and had to go off that odd sensation she felt everytime the woman drew near. It'd been but a tingle when she first felt it, but she drove around a bit, and now it was a nice little constant hum across her skin. She knew Embriella Griffen was across the street sitting on the Spanish Steps.

Llidya didn't want to draw attention to herself. She was fine just sitting there, watching the immense structure. Her vision was occasionally interrupted by the passing of the occasional car, but other than that, nothing was going on. Even the air had gone still, which was really strange. She wasn't catching a downwind or anything.

Still, Llidya didn't move. She stayed seated on her bike, just watching. She may as well of been a statue, sitting in the shadows.

If Llid could feel Embriella, than Embriella knew the wolf was lurking in the shadows.  The internal intruder alarm system was very sensitive these days. 

Tuning forks humming in the depths of her ears as she leaned back on the steps.  Her hand brushed back the coat a moment, to pry her phone from the little pocket it hit in.  Glancing at the time, she'd let her lips twist softly to one side.  Her thumb pressed in and flicked the lid of the phone as she scanned over her text messages.  Either Tim's phone had died without the other red head noticing, or she simply didn't show. 

Embriella glanced towards the sky, not willing to let herself be jumped by anyone other than Harley tonight.  Llidya would simply have to keep on tracking.  Embriella decided to make it a bit harder to find her this time....

Winds would sweep into the plaza at the base of the Spanish Steps, the fog rolling in with it.  The wind didn't have just one direction, instead it swirled and rose on warm and cool currents creating a turbulant mass of air.  Within it, Embriella headed off.  Darkness, the fog and the wind on her side.
