Castle Walls

A pretty face stared through the glass which was surrounded by lights to project a beautiful shine in the one's silvery white eyes. The glistened - unharmed to whatever would try and fight against them, as they were breath-taking alone. Behind the glass and a feminine reflection lie a teddy bear surrounded by artificial snow and plastic boxes wrapped in red, green and silver or gold. Placing her delicate touch over the glass to focus a better view of the display, a gasp was swept away from her lips, feeling the chill it gave off twirl from the layer of her skin to the hollow bones and vital organs inside. Goosebumps spread across her ivory light skin like a wild-fire's power struck onwards through a dry meadow within seconds. It had finally stopped snowing, not that it was much to complain about, for it had not stuck to the ground long enough to be considered the first snow-fall. Winter was on its way, and the streets and stores had already managed to prepare in the young night to put of their decorations and put out their sales for when gift-doers shopped for their loved ones. Candy canes lined in rows along some of the store's windows, applying a beautiful scenery to each and every corner of the great city. Before they'll know it, the new year will be rejoiced, and the great glass ball at Times Square will be dropped and shattered, spreading across Manhattan with its several tiny pieces of confetti - it was magical. Not a star in sight was able to be seen, but the life in the city was everlasting, known best by its nickname to show in fact it never slept a wink.

Vitani peeked inside at the store to see the teddy bear resting its back against a larger present that was wrapped in red and held a bright white and silvery stripped bow on top. The bear appeared soft, like as if she were to hold it, the memory of her life would vanish and drown herself in its given warmth. As she exhaled an icy breath, the air rose up around in swirls towards the sky. The store was dark, as it was closed by this time of night, but she could not take her eyes away from the bear inside. The clicking of footsteps in the distance and the delightful sound of laughter to follow made the fae freeze and turn around like she had been caught in the act of something terribly wrong. Her muscles then relaxed, but the color in her eyes weakened to a dark normal grey as a couple walked on pass her. She watched over her shoulder with a blank, small smile as she secretly envied what they had. As the man planted a kiss to the woman's cheek, Vitani looked away slowly to the sidewalk and sighed under her breath. She needed a drink, but not here, maybe when she was back at the office to bask in the loneliness of it and enjoy - what would be - another movie to the list of many she's seen thousands of times before. She had nothing better to do anyway, but that would be a lie. There were actually many things, but the doctor was not in the mood. Only a professional would be able to fetch the spirited woman's soul and retrieve it back to its rightful body.

While stuffing her cold hands in the pockets of her worn ripped blue jeans after fixing her multicolored scarf, Vitani strutted on back towards home, already having the feeling that her pet was calling her to be fed in his little tank on top of the counter. Her combat heels thumped and tapped against the ground with each step as she walked through, searching about in her paths for a quick finding for a potential other to wander into her sister's borders. As the scent of a foreigner reached the woman's nostrils, she slowly took her time in sniffing at it to get a better feel as to whom or what it might be. She identified it as certain to be her kind, and the feminine order was a dead giveaway. Clearing her mind, she took no excuse in letting this one pass and started on her way after the stench. It was sweet in her nose, almost tender, yet enriched with another; alcohol maybe? When the silouette of a woman amplified and straightened in her strengthened wolf-like eyes, Vitani reached to a comfortable distance of the female and looked up slightly to examine her. She was slim, built in great comparison to her own figure, which comforted her, in a way. Perhaps it was because she was so used to being this small with no one else to have the same. Looking over her once was enough to finally kick the motherly instinct inside, shaking off her toasty leather jacket to sweep it over the woman's shoulders with the return of a friendly, nonthreatening smile, "Hello there, miss." Vitani stepped away again, reaching her hands to be put back into her pocketed once more before tilting her chin to meet at their eye level, "I am Dr. Vitani Dark, sister to the Alphess and doctor amongst her rule. What do you seek to find here, if you will?" Keeping it short and simple, she pursed back her plump lips into a sweet smile and fixed her posture to stand correctly through her point in dominance.
