Private Paint the town Red

Persephone had intended to do something of the sort. The Ancient leech stalked the shadows of Coruscant on this night. Seen when she wished it, unseen when she wished it. The people that saw her were generally those she had business with. Always curt, always very brisk. A few words exchanged, then she would depart. The rhythmic click of her golden heels audible as she performed a practiced, sultry walk through the undercity streets. Currently she passed by one of their clubs. Only passing, no interest in stopping. She hadn't fed in some time, and tonight that was her true goal. She needed to feed upon something living... Something warm, and inviting. Though all of these people, they were poor quality. They could be drained, and tossed over a railing. No one would miss them, and in line with the quality of anima (blood) they gave, most would think they were drugged out; simply falling because they had lost their grip on reality.

And yet, there was something particular tickling her nose this evening. She couldn't pinpoint it, but she had smelled it earlier in the same evening. Something... Purer. Not from this town. If so, they hadn't lived here in years. A woman, a grown one... She took care of herself; the scents she wore on her form only an annoyance to the Sangnir. It was the scent emanating from her flesh that caused the creature to loosely click along the trail. Briefly, she would walk into shadowy areas, the clicking of her heels stopping suddenly and continuing in a different spot. As if she was walking through secret doorways. Still, she was hardly noticeable. for purpose. Those that did notice her fell victim to the aforementioned shadow walking; simply spotting a tall lithe woman, then not seeing her again.

She had no interest in the usual oil she sucked to live. This Cinnamon, Cardamom, and Rosemary scent was intoxicating; causing her lips to part as the smell of the individual permeated her nose. It was these very types her kind seek to imprison and bleed over many years, instead of killing off immediately. Rare, she almost wanted to put the poor soul on a bed of roses before indulging. Little did she know what exactly she was tailing. Having shut herself off from the Force for some time, she would register as relatively Force Dead, while she was the furthest thing from. The Force was simply dangerous to her kind.

She saw it like an open broadcast. Sure, she could sense others, and defend herself. But others could just as easily sense her, at times without the knowledge of one party. That would not do. As such, with simple spells and enchantments, the Force did not touch, or move through her unless she willed it. Not to be confused with her being invisible. The Force instead formed around her, with whatever she was registering as a malicious anomaly to any skilled enough to look for such things. Not Sith in nature, but... Malicious. Dark... Simply creating an abscess in the area one were to observe.

Her heels clipped along, the blood red dress on her form flitting gently in the cool breeze, matched by the wispy movement of her ivory white hair. Icy-Blue hues slowly scanning the street as the smell only became stronger. A younger her might have succumbed to letting her mouth water. She needed to taste it. Perhaps even capture it for her private collection. Yet, she again had no idea what she was tailing. What a surprise did she have waiting. She had fed on Jedi before, and Sith to boot. The Sith were usually less tasty, but their blood was strong.

Jedi on the other hand, were sweet; their lifestyles only seeming to improve their health, which improved everything about them. It was safe to say she was a connoisseur on the topic of blood. She would walk for another six minutes or so before stopping suddenly, head swiveling as the smell seemed to swell near the area.

"That is intoxicating..."


She mumbled, continuing to clip along and stalk her prey.

After a fierce battle on Jedha, Valery had returned to Coruscant to rest and recover from the injuries she sustained in the explosion of the SIA Blacksite. The burns were largely treated but she was still incredibly sore and didn't quite feel like herself just yet. But while that normally meant she'd have to stay somewhere safe to recover, Valery decided to head out anyway to get something important done - she hated sitting still anyway.
During the explosion, her familiar tunic had gotten shredded and burned, which led to her beginning the development of an entirely new outfit to replace it. Some pieces were ready, but some were still in the process of being made. For this reason, she was out in the streets of Coruscant tonight. She had gathered some of the materials needed for the production of her outfit and delivered them to a tailor who would handle the rest.
This meant she wasn't dressed like a Jedi either, instead choosing some tight blue jeans, a simple white shirt, and a black leather jacket. she had a lightsaber concealed within the jacket but looked like a civilian to anybody looking her way. With her current state, she didn't particularly feel like drawing attention.
What she didn't know, however, was that her presence alone had already caught someone's attention.
"Alright, that would be all of it," Valery told the tailor with a warm smile, as she dropped off the materials he needed. The man looked it all over and offered a final nod. "This will do. I'll contact you when it's done," he said, after which Valery paid for his service and stepped outside.
As the door closed behind her, she stopped and shut her eyes for a moment while she took a deep breath of fresh air. It was already quite late, and she was getting tired, both physically and mentally. So she figured this was a good time to start heading back to her temporary place of residence - a small apartment she hired for her stay here.
But as she walked through the streets of Coruscant at night, she began to feel something strange. Even in her weakened state, the Force was always an ally capable of warning her, and it gently began to nudge her that something was off. But her orange eyes spotted nothing off in the area around her.
Must be the exhaustion...
Valery then rubbed her eyes and tucked some of her long hair behind her ear while she continued her path towards a nearby taxi point, completely oblivious to the fact that she was being followed and watched.

What was this? A busy bee? Working Class? No way... She could see that muscle definition clear as day. Definitely some sort of athlete... Still, she was unaware that this woman posed a serious bodily threat to her person if she were allowed to to lock onto Persephone. Especially considering the latter was closed off from the Force, she would need a few moments to break the locks upon herself and properly defend against the Jedi's abilities. Within that time, Persephone could easily cut into her with that saber she hid on her person. An item Persephone probably wouldn't even have approached, had she known the other wielded.

She slowed her step, right hand reaching out to lightly press her fingernails into the wall, scraping at it lightly as she moved to a stop.


"Alright, that would be all of it," Valery told the tailor with a warm smile, as she dropped off the materials he needed. The man looked it all over and offered a final nod. "This will do. I'll contact you when it's done," he said, after which Valery paid for his service and stepped outside.

From across the street she watched, able to hear, and see at supernatural levels, she might as well had been standing in the store with them. And yet, she remained motionless, wondering what the other was buying. Taking this time to appreciate her clothing choices. What a tough cookie... Jeans and a leather jacket. Soldier was starting to creep back into the guess pool...


As the door closed behind her, she stopped and shut her eyes for a moment while she took a deep breath of fresh air. It was already quite late, and she was getting tired, both physically and mentally. So she figured this was a good time to start heading back to her temporary place of residence - a small apartment she hired for her stay here.

As the other turned to head home, or where-ever it is they planned to head, Persephone followed from a decent distance away. Now that she had laid her eyes on the other there was quite frankly no escaping. She didn't need to be right behind her. Giving her almost a full block to do as she wish, keeping her eyes locked on that form. Macabre thoughts coming to mind. It would look badly on her part of she drained this one, especially after ordering her subordinates to refrain from doing so; there was a strong temptation however, to drink the life out of this person.

She quelled it easily enough... Just a taste, was all she was after.



Must be the exhaustion...

No far from it... However, that was the first red flag that Persephone would vainly ignore. The sudden perception of another presence, even on the street as currently dead as it was, should have told her something, but she was blinded by the aroma, and the possibility of a good drink.

Valery then rubbed her eyes and tucked some of her long hair behind her ear while she continued her path towards a nearby taxi point, completely oblivious to the fact that she was being followed and watched.

Although Persephone had been following her the entire time, she would suddenly appear in the direction Valery was heading in (had she continued on). Heels clicking around the partition in the taxi point. Eyes locking on the others form as she walked innocently next to Valery, and slowed to a stop. Her intent to make eye contact, working her natural enchantments on the other. While it was geared for weak willed persons, it could just as well work on a strong minded individual as well, as it was a strong but not very alarming technique. Persephone was simply alluring. It was her nature to be so.

"Good Evening... Love the boots."

She offered, a slight curl in her lip given to add emotion to her words, turning to her side, and standing in the same fashion Valery was. Simply... Waiting for a taxi, as it were. Though Persephone couldn't help but notice how ferocious the others eyes were (if and when she looked). This was a rare specimen indeed. She would need to be patient, so as not to alarm them.

Valery slowly but surely made her way to the Taxi point and even though she was tired, her usual confidence showed in her approach. She stood upright, her body language fairly open and relaxed, and she didn't shy away from making eye contact either. Spotting the stranger in the dark with her Keshian eyes, she turned her fiery gaze towards the woman and nodded in greeting.
She was currently unaware of any attempts at charming effects being used against her. Valery's mind was always particularly strong, but her exhaustion was somewhat hindering her right now.
"Evening.." she said at first, but the compliment regarding her boots made her blink.
The brunette briefly looked down at what she believed to be fairly normal boots, but perhaps the woman was simply trying to make idle conversation? Either way, she looked back up and offered a weak, but kind smile. "Thank you."
"Quite like your dress as well, but seems a tad cold to wear at night," she added with a bit of a smirk. Valery occasionally would wear dresses herself, although only with the right company - these days that meant with her boyfriend. But he had just fallen to the Dark Side, which she was still struggling with. It felt like she had lost an important part of herself.
Valery then turned from the woman to look at the direction from which taxis usually came, but not a single one appeared. She knew they came down here less frequently at night, but it was taking a lot longer than she expected. Or did it only seem to be taking longer?
I really need sleep...
F7r9prE.png
 
Was it cold? She hadn't thought about it to heavily. Perhaps that came with the territory. No negative annotation cast in her direction always a good thing when she had her prey in such proximity. Staring back with her own icy hues for a moment, noting the scars of battle. And then it begun to become clear. Rather, the seed of suspicion was planted. Though for now, she would continue to play the game. Simply aware it might be best to keep her options for retreat and evasion open.

In doing so, she would look out onto the street, pretending to look for the next Taxi. A faux action, as she didn't mind if it took long.


"Quite like your dress as well, but seems a tad cold to wear at night," she added with a bit of a smirk. Valery occasionally would wear dresses herself, although only with the right company - these days that meant with her boyfriend. But he had just fallen to the Dark Side, which she was still struggling with. It felt like she had lost an important part of herself.

The comment caused Persephone to blush lightly, nodding and offering a very slight curtsy in response.

"Live in this ilk for as long as I have, and the weather gets less and less troublesome every day hun'."

She noted, the bangles on her arms jingling with the movement of a light shrug from her form. She needed to maintain eye contact before she could have any fun. This one wasn't weak-minded in the slightest. Most anything could crack if they stared long enough however. Something about Persephone seemed inviting, although she had come out of nowhere in the night. When Valery locked eyes with her, there would be that disarming sensation, that could've lead to her being full on mesmerized by the others presence.

Though, she couldn't rush that. As much as she wanted to drink now.




I really need sleep...

"You and me both, these heels have been killing me all day..."

Persephone said, of course taking an opportunity to maintain eye contact with the woman that presented itself. Her presence itself akin to bait on a hook. She just needed the other to lose her edge... Not to mention, she should probably figure out what they edge was.

"Sorry, my name's Calli' I own... A nightclub down here. The Black Lotus"

Persephone offered her right hand to the other in greeting, smiling as she stared. Going from mildly interested, to clearly focused on the woman.

"Can't say I've ever seen you around gorgeous... You a pilot or something?"

She asked innocently, eyes flicking aside to note a taxi turn the bend... Chit.. Well, perhaps that needn't be the end. If the other chose to take this taxi, perhaps she might've offered to share it... That would be ideal. Up close and Personal was perfect for her.

Persephone offered her right hand to the other in greeting, smiling as she stared. Going from mildly interested, to clearly focused on the woman.

Valery chuckled and looked back at Persephone, believing the taxi was just running late. But looking into the woman's eyes again, she began to feel somewhat strange. Normally, her mental barriers would keep out anything trying to affect her, but they hadn't been this weak in years. She also felt no natural attraction to women, yet there was something about this woman's gaze that drew her attention and made it more difficult to look away.
While this should have been an alarm bell, Valery attributed it to being tired. So without thinking much of it, she took the offered hand and firmly shook it with a faint smile.
But slowly, her mental barriers were weakening more, and her fatigue began to hit harder.
"Can't say I've ever seen you around gorgeous... You a pilot or something?"

She asked innocently, eyes flicking aside to note a taxi turn the bend... Chit.. Well, perhaps that needn't be the end. If the other chose to take this taxi, perhaps she might've offered to share it... That would be ideal. Up close and Personal was perfect for her.

Valery smiled at the compliment and gently shook her head while she began to withdraw her hand, "While I can fly, I wouldn't say I'm a pilot by profession. More often than not, it's just another means of transportation." she said, which was true aside from the times she went into battle. But she left that part out for now.

Then from the corner of her eyes, she spotted the Taxi approaching, and internally, a sigh of relief followed. It wasn't that she wanted to get away from this woman she just met - she was simply tired and this Taxi would be able to get her home. Or at least, close enough to home.


"Seems there is only one Taxi." Valery then said."My apartment is only 2 districts south from here. If you're heading in that direction, feel free to tag along. Saves you the wait for another one to show up." the brunette offered before she climbed into the vehicle that was piloted by a droid. It was programmed to simply take people from point A to B, nothing more, nothing less.

When Valery stepped inside and sat down, she felt the tiredness hit again in another wave. The low hum of the vibrating vehicle alongside the passing lights of Coruscant at night was rather sleep-inducing. Persephone's impact on her mind only made this worse, causing her eyes to flicker.

Her hands placed in her lap, her body resting against the inner side of the door, Valery began to drift away.

She made a decision to not move for the taxi when it arrived, instead just flustering and offering a smile. Even going as far to offer a half step back.

Saves you the wait for another one to show up." the brunette offered before she climbed into the vehicle that was piloted by a droid. It was programmed to simply take people from point A to B, nothing more, nothing less.

Persephone would offer a surprised gasp at the notion, but shake her head in relent. Fingers interlacing as she would offer a bashful grimace.

"I AM headed that way, why not..."

She stated, accepting Valery's generosity. Keeping in rhythm with the other and finding herself inside the taxi with the mysterious woman. Her answers weren't random. Practiced. Polished... Though, Persephone's were as well, although the only glaring discrepancy in her presence being she didn't really have anything on her person. Other than the jewelry on her wrists, and the dress covering her form. Yet still, she would maintain her goal. Casually staring at the other when the opportunity arose.

Eventually, she would lean back and scooting her dress very slightly to place one leg daintily over the other. Using the curvature of the speeders inside to rest herself comfortably into. She hadn't even set this trap, instead it had presented itself. She simply went with the flow... What did come as a surprise was the other's next action...

In fact, it was practically an insult to her. She was getting old wasn't she? They used to be giddy, and aloof. Living life to the fullest. Not a care in the world, even when most had seen more wars than their Great-Grandfathers could've counted. Persephone would stare at Valery with disgust, then roll her eyes. She wasn't getting old...

All the same, she took a glance at the mirror just inside the taxi, observing either side of her face, painted red nails, if the razor talons could be called that pressing lightly at her own cheek in worry. Brief, but mistaken. She showed no signs of malnourishment; she was still gorgeous. Perfect. A grin found her lips then, fingers tracing out and depressing a large oval button in the back of the drivers seat. Rendering the glass encasing cloudy...

And with that, the mask dropped. A look of content malice dotted Persephone's features, canines elongating in anticipation. She had to hold back a hiss as she enveloped the other without a touch. Moving as a snake would across the environment. Making sure to not disturb her position. Instead taking stock of the woman in a closer fashion. No, scars like that didn't lie. Some Special Forces soldier no doubt. Her favorite. Well, maybe athletes came in a close tie.

In any case, this might have proved to been a meal worthy of a week. Her first action would've been to carefully remove Valery's leather jacket, not wasting time with it, but not tugging on her. She needn't get it but over her shoulder anyhow.

With the glass obscured, the droid driving had no clue as to what was happening in the rear side of the vehicle. It just followed its programming and continued the path towards the district Valery had given him. This trip would still take at least 10 minutes, as it also had to travel several levels vertically through Coruscant's layered system of housing.
So Persephone had plenty of time to attempt her vampiric bite, and with Valery feeling rather weak already, she was able to get up-close with the brunette without a problem. Hovering above her face, she'd spot the three scars that ran across her face but would also get a better look at the defined muscular body of the woman.
This became only more evident as the jacket was slowly slipped off, leaving Valery in the white t-shirt that hugged her body tightly.
But with the Vampire's fangs approaching the woman's neck, a warning of danger echoed through the Force. As a result, Valery's eyes began to flicker - she was slowly waking up from what she felt. But she was still weak enough to where it wasn't too late.
Persephone had to be quick.

As soon as that jacket loosened, Persephone felt confident that this woman wasn't your average whatsoever. What wonderful muscle definition. It was a pristine body, to say the least. And now this close to her, her own heart began to thud with anticipation. Her mind tricked her into feeling starved. Though she wasn't. She needed to do it just this moment. As such a quick lick of her tongue was given over those fangs, coating them in her saliva, much the same as a mosquito might to tenderize, and numb the area. Both of her fangs easily perforating the soft flesh of Valery's jugular.

If all of this worked, she would be rewarded with the taste of blood; initially simply boring her holes, but then drawing her fangs back as thick globs of blood rushed into her mouth. She almost spasmed from the bliss of it, making light 'umph, uhmph' sounds with fervor. All to reminiscent of a baby greedily sucking at their bottle. Persephone remained perched over her victim, drinking only a quarter of what Valery had available to give. (Or intending to, anyway). She didn't need the other falling out dead; but they would certainly be drowsy when they became cognizant again.

She was about halfway there, A light growl rumbling in her form as she enjoyed the nutritious belly warming liquid. As she did this, her very body seemed to become more full of life. Her limbs, becoming more pronounced. It almost seemed like she was sucking the youth out of the other, although that wasn't the case. Valery would keep all that was her, Persephone had only come to peruse the quality of her anima; there was no disappointment.

Only a few minutes left in the cab ride. She would attempt to pull away now, with a light hiss, licking at the wound immediately to offer a light film. Closing up the wound, and promoting its healing in the same token. She herself falling back in stupor, and writhing in pleasure as the blood pumped through her system, revitalizing her. She almost forgot she wasn't alone.

With how tired and weakened the brunette already was, she could not answer the danger she felt echoing through the Force. Persephone was hovering right above her neck, but she was met with no resistance, as she lowered herself and pierced through the jugular with her sharp fangs.
It was only near the end of her blood draining attempt that something happened inside Valery that caused her to wake up. A sign of danger not for the sake of self-preservation, but instead the safety of the child that was slowly growing inside of her. It was far stronger than anything she'd normally feel in times of danger, so her eyes widened rather abruptly.
Valery shot up to her feet inside the taxi, but a little too quickly - the blood began to stream out of the wounds in her neck. With how much she had lost already, she felt weak, barely able to feel any kind of strength in her fingers.
"What the.." she said as one hand came up to cover her neck, the blood now running between her fingers. Valery's fiery gaze was focused on Persephone for a moment, before she extended her free hand and summoned the lightsaber hilt that was hidden in her jacket, which now lay on the rear seat.
The purple blade ignited, and she pointed it towards the woman to force distance.
"Stay back.." she said, a slight hint of fear in her tone. Not a fear for her own life, but for her child's, which also made her significantly more dangerous in some ways.
I have to get out, she then thought to herself as she looked around, but they were still high-up in Coruscant's traffic network. But after glancing down for a moment longer, she made her decision...and jumped.
Whilst covering her neck the best she could, Valery landed on top of another vehicle, and used the Force to cushion the fall. She jumped to another and from this vehicle, she made a greater leap towards a platform of one of Coruscant's lower levels. This time, her landing transitioned into a roll over the ground, after which she found herself laying on her back.
She looked more pale than ever before, with blood staining the white shirt that now remained as her only piece of cover. But slowly, she felt her strength only slipping further. She was in a bad situation.
I have to hold on...

There was a certain arrogance that came with doing this so long. Such as the fact she should have left immediately after feeding. Instead she stayed, basking in her successful hunt. So much so that it was about to become a dismal failure, and major embarrassment. As her bright blue eyes rolled in her head, enjoying the sensations that rolled through her body, the other roused...

"What the.." she said as one hand came up to cover her neck, the blood now running between her fingers. Valery's fiery gaze was focused on Persephone for a moment, before she extended her free hand and summoned the lightsaber hilt that was hidden in her jacket, which now lay on the rear seat.

"Wasn't it good for you? I th-"

She went from tickled, to alarmed in that second when she saw the use of Force one, and the creation of a lightsaber two. A bloody hiss given to the other, Persephone dropped down on all fours reminiscent to an animal, feeling trapped by the sudden emergence of such a lethal weapon. Even she could have been felled it the other struck her in right spot. With her fangs elongated, eyes piercing the other, it would be a sight Valery would likely no forget any time soon. The woman essentially drooling Valery's blood from her own mouth; snarling and hissing at her proudly.

The purple blade ignited, and she pointed it towards the woman to force distance."Stay back.." she said, a slight hint of fear in her tone. Not a fear for her own life, but for her child's, which also made her significantly more dangerous in some ways.

Her claws extended slightly as her situation became brimming with excitement. Had she known about the young life Valery held, she would've never done this, but now it had gone too far. For now she simply stayed to her corner, ready to eviscerate the other if they took another step towards her with that weapon, but instead something else happened. Something that perhaps should have been expected.

She was in a bad situation.

Persephone quickly crawled to the doorway, observing the path the other took before effortlessly jumping from the taxi herself. This wasn't good, at all. Though, save for the activation of the lightsaber, there was a good chance no one knew anything just yet. Perhaps there was time to dispatch, or capture the Jedi. As such, she would crawl, jump, and stalk her way down to where Valery was; finally walking out of the shadows cautiously, aware now that the other held a saber.

Coming to a stop outside of normal melee range, Persephone put her hands on her hips, inhaling a bit and looking both ways... Deserted.


"This shouldn't have happened... You see its my fault, you weren't supposed to wake up. Well, firstly you weren't supposed to be a Jedi... Hence the sweet blood. Look, Jedi... Its best we leave this here, and bury the hatchet. You know? Or else I'll have to... Well, murder your violently in this dark alley. No one wants to die like that."

She took a testing step towards the other, wanting to see what sort of reaction they could muster in their weakened state. The Predator simply testing the Prey's defenses. She wanted that saber out of her hands while they spoke... In general, actually...

Hoping she had gotten away from...whoever had just bitten her, Valery rolled over and pushed herself up to hands and knees. She felt her arms and legs trembling from how weak they were, and the bleeding hadn't fully stopped yet either. So she quickly brought her hand back up to her neck, and began to rise up to her feet.
Only to watch a familiar woman approach her from the shadows.
"This shouldn't have happened... You see its my fault, you weren't supposed to wake up. Well, firstly you weren't supposed to be a Jedi... Hence the sweet blood. Look, Jedi... Its best we leave this here, and bury the hatchet. You know? Or else I'll have to... Well, murder your violently in this dark alley. No one wants to die like that."

She took a testing step towards the other, wanting to see what sort of reaction they could muster in their weakened state. The Predator simply testing the Prey's defenses. She wanted that saber out of her hands while they spoke... In general, actually...

Valery gritted her teeth and in response to the testing step, raised her lightsaber up again, the tip of the blade pointing towards the woman. But due to the severity of the situation, something else happened as well. With all the strength she could muster, she began to direct the flow of the Force through her body, pushing herself past physical limits to overcome the pain and loss of blood that were holding her back.
Keeping up Force Body for too long wasn't going to be easy, but she'd appear much stronger while it lasted.
"If that's not how you wish to meet your end, I suggest you keep your distance." Valery said with a cold gaze. She knew she was protecting more than just herself, and this only made her more dangerous, and a far more unpredictable target.
"I have no desire to kill you, but I will protect myself and..." she paused, deciding against revealing that she was carrying a child. She had no good perspective on this Vampire's moral compass, so she figured it was best to keep information to herself.
"...I will do what I must to survive. You surely don't want to take on the risk of fighting a Jedi, hm?" she asked with a much stronger looking appearance, maintained by her use of the Force. "I may have lost some blood, but it's going to take more than that to take me out."
Valery was testing the woman with her words and her stance, hoping she'd decide to withdraw. As a Jedi, she wasn't one to seek revenge either. At most, she'd go after this woman to prevent her from striking against more innocents. Justice, not a personal quest of revenge. But she decided to keep that to herself for now.
F7r9prE.png
 
Oh hell, how had she gotten here? The woman was still leaking all over the place, something Persephone could easily ignore now that she had gotten a good amount of blood from the other. Aware of what the other was doing, Jedi techniques to push herself past her limit. It was faux, but dangerous. Persephone immediately realized the best way to save the other, was to leave them alone. Though, she had to let the other understand it wasn't personal... It was just a transaction. She didn't want this woman looming over her shoulder in the near future.
"I may have lost some blood, but it's going to take more than that to take me out."

"Hmmm, forty-eight seconds... Give or Take. In that time, I'll repeat this wasn't personal. And you aren't dead..."

She rose her hands defensively then, taking a few clear steps back to show she wasn't here to deliver a coup de grace. Moving to a nearby railing and briefly resting her back on it to observe the other. Was it odd that her blood tasted, how she looked? Hmm, that would be odd to explain to someone who didn't get it.

"Don't come looking for me, or else I'll finish what I started... If you make me regret extending a hand of mercy, I'll make you regret crossing me..."

The threat came, followed by a bow. Eyes snapping right as a pair of CSF guards turned the corner, shining flashlights in their direction.

'Hey, whose down there! Is that a Jedi?'

The second Valery took her eyes off of the other, they would've been gone. There one moment and simply vanished the next. Close, but hidden, watching from the ceiling as the pair ran up to aide the Jedi.

'By the Force, she's leaking out; call an ambulance, DOUBLE-TIME IT RICK!'

He called out in shock, laying down his light and moving to assist Valery.

'Ye- Yeah, I'll be right back!'

The other yelled, turning heel to go get help, while simultaneously calling it in over the radio. This fiasco was going to come back to bite her, but... Hell, a little drama never hurt. And if the other did wish to try her, Persephone would take great pleasure in drinking from her again... Draining one's prey wasn't shined upon, but was certainly pleasurable. The little kicks they gave when their lives were snuffed short...

Before things got crazy, she would ease out of the area, and return to her own lair; moving to sit and bring up any files they had on Jedi, most especially those based on Coruscant. Someone knew someone that knew her, and she wanted to be prepared. Most likely, that one was a Jedi Knight, perhaps even a Master. No matter how strong she was, Jedi could be lethal; and if she was going to go head up with one, she would need to be amply prepared.

"Hmmm, forty-eight seconds... Give or Take. In that time, I'll repeat this wasn't personal. And you aren't dead..."

She rose her hands defensively then, taking a few clear steps back to show she wasn't here to deliver a coup de grace. Moving to a nearby railing and briefly resting her back on it to observe the other. Was it odd that her blood tasted, how she looked? Hmm, that would be odd to explain to someone who didn't get it.

Valery gritted her teeth and had every bit of desire to say something in return, but she decided against it. Even with the Force sustaining her, she was rapidly deteriorating from the loss of blood. All she needed right now was medical assistance, and luckily salvation came moments later.
While Persephone Ambrosia Persephone Ambrosia faded away, Valery watched as two guards rushed to her side, clearly distraught by the woman bleeding so heavily from her neck. With the absence of the Vampire, and her rescue in sight, Valery allowed the Force's assistance to slip, which finally sent her toppling forward.
She faintly heard their voices as they caught her falling body, but everything quickly turned black.
What happened at the scene where she was found afterward, Valery didn't know. The way these guards had found her would likely lead to some kind of formal investigation, but all she wanted was to recover and get away from Coruscant. She had barely escaped losing her life, even though the intention of the woman apparently wasn't to kill. But she was carrying a child so the idea she had gotten that close horrified her.
This couldn't happen again, that much she was sure about - she was going to need some help from someone she could trust and hopefully offer the upcoming child more protection. She already had someone in mind who she hoped could help.
Once cleared from the hospital, it became time to visit an old friend.
