*Blare had her hair pulled back into a pony tale, with her bangs falling to one side of her face. She had dark wash skinny jeans on, with black UGG boots covering the bottom of her pants. She wore a black long sleeve shirt under a short sleeve shirt. The over shirt had a design of stars and roses around a guitar with wings. The shirt was dark grey with yellow, pink and black lines.*
*Blair entered the library, nice and quiet, many people studying for tests, working on homework, or just finding a good place to read a book. Blair searched, for a couple minutes, until she found the anatomy books. Pulling one off the shelf she found a nice place to sit, a place that she could see most people in the library as well.*
*Opening her sketch book, Blair looked around the room and started to draw all the tables and shelves. Sketching in stick figures for people. After a little while she started to focus on one person at a time, drawing their features, but not their faces. This was mainly for privacy sake, plus the fact that she didn't know any of them. While drawing, she would periodicity look down then back up, moving hair from her eyes. Meanwhile, hoping that none of them notice what she was doing.*

Alucard was in the library looking around. The Librarian was giving him this 'you don't belong here' kind of look, not because he didn't read, but because he never checked any books out. He had spent some time speed reading through the books and had already read most of the books he wanted to already. The Librarian went back to work after a moment. Alucard went over to the section of the library that held the anatomy books. He wanted to research why he might have been so weird lately.
As Alucard got over to where the anatomy books, he noticed that girl he had meet recently. He believed she said her name was Blair. He wasn't sure why she was in this section of the library, but he wasn't about to ask her either. He found a book on the circulatory system and picked it up. He started reading it before he even had gotten sat down. He was speed reading through it to see how useful it was, and when he had gotten a good ways in and decided to check it out, he noticed that he wasn't far from Blair. She hadn't noticed him yet, but what she was doing caught his attention. She kept glancing at people and then back at a sketchbook. He watched her for a bit. He wasn't sure why she was sketching people, or he assumed she was, but the guy she was sketching at the moment seemed to have noticed what she was doing and had gotten the wrong idea, or so he thought. He quietly walked over and sat near Blair as if he hadn't noticed she was there and made it look like he was reading the book he was going to check out.
" The guy you're sketching thinks your interested in him. Try looking at something else for a bit, unless you want him to come over and talk to you." Alucard said to her in a low voice that only she could have heard.

*Blair looked up enough to notice who was sitting next to her. It was that Alucard.....guy. She sketched and got the basic out line of the boy, before he spoke to her. She looked up at the guy, giving a almost unimpressed look on her face and shrugged, then moved the anatomy book that she had gotten and put it above the sketch book and opened to a page that shows how the muscles look when the person is in a seating position. She was done with her "mannican." Now she could do what she wanted, plus she could easily remember what cloths he was wearing, it wasn't that hard to remember a t-shirt and jeans. Perfecting her sketch. Soon the person in the sketch and the person sitting, soon began to look different. She shaded and added cloths. Placing a backpack on the table that was also drawn.*
*Pulling back to observe her work Blair looked pleased with the sketch. With a sigh, what could be considered relief, she looked up and smiled at Alucard. It was a polite smile but almost a thanks. Looking down to the book that he had she noticed that it was from the same section as hers. But he seemed to want it for a different reason that Blair did. The only reason why she would pick up an anatomy book, would to help her with her drawing. And drawing was one of her only escapes from the problems of her life.*

Alucard began to read again after he had finished speaking to Blair. He noticed how Blair had taken her book and placed it over her sketchbook. She was working hard on whatever it was she was drawing and had kept glancing over at him. He didn't pay it much mind and was fine with letting her draw in peace and quiet. He had made it a little farther into the book when she smiled at him. He made an attempt to smile back at her but only ended up giving her a flirty smirk once again. He turned his attention back to his book after he had smiled.
As Alucard went back to reading, the guy that Blair had been drawing earlier had decided to walk over to them. He walked straight over to Blair and completely ignored Alucard. He was slim and slightly taller then average with black hair. He came up with a smile that was more then just hinting at his intent.
" Hello there beautiful. I saw you glancing over my way. I hope you liked what you saw." the guy said in an extremely flirty tone.
Alucard glanced up at the man for a moment before looking back at his book. He had to be a complete idiot not to know what the man was thinking about, but the real question was what the girl thought. He wasn't about to jump in and do anything since he didn't, at least he wasn't yet.

*Blair was lost in her drawing when she noticed a dark shadow cover the sketch book. She looked up, moving her bangs, once again, away from her eyes. She saw a Goliath of a kid. He reminded her of a bully she had in elementary school. It was right after her family had broken up and she was alone. That boy wouldn't leave her alone. Shaking that memory out of her mind she looked back down and sunk in her chair and began to close the anatomy book, and then her sketch book. Her power slightly kicking in her presence became less noticeable, and if one didn't know she was there, or looking at her, they wouldn't know that she was there.* No thanks, not interested.
*Blair then got up, hugging both books close to her chest. Looking down she walked quickly to the section where she got the book, putting it away. Looking back to see that the tall boy was still after her. He followed her though the book shelves. His intentions obvious on his face. Blair knew this school wouldn't be any different. Closing her eyes her and her sketch book disappeared completely, maneuvering past the boy. Almost to afraid to leave the library she moved to a different section of the library and reappeared. Peaking around the corner to see if he had some how had followed her, even thought she knew that it was impossible. With a sigh of relief she sunk back into the section, now looking at books. She was in the fantasy section, and she might as well check out a book.*

Alucard watched as Blair told the guy she wasn't interested and took off in a hurry. He figured that would be the need of things, but instead of listening to her and moving on, the guy decided to take off after her with a sinister look in his eyes. Alucard closed his book and followed them to keep an eye on what this guy might have tried to do, never making a sound as he did. He saw the girl disappear and guessed her power had to deal with invisibility after they had gotten into a hidden part of the library. The guy looked confused and about ready to curse out loud as he stood there. Alucard waited until he was sure the girl was gone before he moved toward the guy.
" You shouldn't follow girls after they reject your proposal, or does the word no mean nothing to you?" Alucard asked the guy in a tone that wasn't hostile but certainly wasn't anything close to friendly.
" And who might you be to be telling me what I should or shouldn't do?" the guy asked Alucard in a cocky tone of voice that had hints of hostility and pent up excitement at getting to let out his frustration onto someone in it. " The girl was begging me to even if she wouldn't admit it. I don't think I like you now that I think about it. I'll just use you as a punching bag squirt!"
Alucard quickly dodged the punch the guy suddenly threw at him and grabbed onto his arm as he elbowed him in the stomach. As the man had his breath knocked out of him and hunched over slightly, Alucard stepped into the man's stance and planeted his foot against one of the guy's feet and threw him to the ground as hard as he could. The guy hit the ground hard and had stopped breathing for a moment as Alucard stood over him ready to react to anything he did.
" You need to think before you act from now on." Alucard said to the guy in a commanding, icy tone that could easily send chills down your spine. " Your going to get up and come with me to go apologize to the girl you followed... now."
The guy slowly stood up after Alucard had said now. He was breathing heavy, uneven breaths as he did so. He got up and followed Alucard as he looked for Blair. He soon found her and just looked at the guy who had followed him. The guy slowly walked over to Blair with Alucard close behind and quickly apologized and then made his retreat as soon and as quickly as he could.
Alucard waited for the guy to be out of sight before he reacted into his satchel and pulled out a book. He handed it out to Blair and tried to make a sympathetic smile, which came out as a slightly less flirty then usual smirk.
" Here." Alucard said to Blair in a somewhat soothing, somewhat polite tone of voice.

*Finding a book that had an interesting cover Blair started to read the back. Once again that large shadow covered what had her attention. She looked up, mostly hiding the fear in her eyes. But strangely the guy's face looked almost as scared as hers, almost, not quite. He apologized then left, quickly. She wasn't sure of what exactly hapend just then, but it wasn't something that happened to her. Then she saw Alucard. Was he the one who did that? She did see him following Golieth as he followed her.*
*When he handed her the book, Blair set the other book down and looked at the book. Smiling softly she spoke almost as soft.* Thanks for that. *Maybe this school wasn't all bad. The people that she had met, seemed used to new students, no matter their background. Now she was slightly hoping that she would stay her longer than the average time...witch was six months, according to her count. This was the strangest place that she had been though, and it wasn't only because she didn't have "foster parents." But teachers were everywhere, so it was basically the same thing in her mind.

Alucard was glad when she took the book from him. She thanked him and had a strange look to her. She seemed like she was happy about something other then what just happened. He wasn't sure what it was exactly, but he was sure it had something to do with her past. He wasn't about to pry though since he of all people knew that bad things happen to people in the past that they do not wish to speak of. He just smiled at her, or tried to, and went back to sit down. He started reading again, but quickly finished the book. He was less impressed with the book then he had first been and took it back to where he had gotten it. He searched around the books once again, but none of them had much more to them then he already knew. He frowned slightly and walked back over to the table he had been at earlier and sat down.
Alucard pulled out a book from his satchel and began to read. He was reading a new book that had just come out. He was suppose to review it for his part-time job, but had been putting it off lately. He decided to speed read it since he had the time and was in a somewhat quiet place.

*Blair opened the book, after reading the back. The pages grabbing her attention. She slowly walked back to the table and sat down, setting her sketch book on her lap, mostly for protection. Drawing was an escape for her, and she didn't want anyone stealing that away. She didn't even notice Alucard getting up and leaving the table. The book was fascinating. She read a couple chapters and looked up to let what she had read soak in. It was then that she noticed that Alucard wasn't there. She wondered if he had left. Oh well, if he did then she can just find him again to return this book. It was good, but it was his. She wasn't a thief, and she didn't know if he wanted it back or not. So she was just going to guess that he wanted it back. If he said differently later, then she would keep the book.*
*Blair looked back down to continue to read the book. She would stay there a little bit longer, one it was quiet, and two, Alucard might come back before she finished it. Blair wasn't a speed reader, but she was pretty fast at reading when she got wrapped into the story.*

Alucard had gotten most of the book read fairly quickly before he decided to stop. He already had an idea of what he was going to say about it already. He put the book back into his satchel and looked around. He noticed how Blair was so into the book he had given her that she was in her own little world. He couldn't help but feel a slight amount of happiness at watching her enjoying it after what had happened to her. He soon cast the feeling to the side though. He watched her for a moment as she read. After enough time had past, he finally stirred himself.
" You seem to be enjoying it, that is good." Alucard said to her in a polite tone. " You may keep it if you wish. I also have the rest of the series if you want them. I already finished them and I can always get more if I wanted to read them again later."
Alucard wasn't for sure what this girl was going to say, but he had a feeling from the way she had been acting that it was going to be quick and most likely along the lines of 'it's your book, I can't take it'. He really didn't care if she took it, it wasn't like he had any need for money even if his parents completely cut him off. He really hadn't been relying on them much lately as it was anyways.

*Blair jumped by Alucard's words. She was so used to the silence that it being broken made her jump. She was used to it and she smiled softly at Alucard as he spoke. He offered for hoer to take it. Blair wasn't in the habit of refusing gifts, especially if she liked what was being given. In fact most of her cloths were hammy downs from the families that she had been to recently. Not like they were going to buy her new cloths.*
If you insist, thank you *She smiled at the boy, her smile was a little bit more than polite and the most that he would get from her at this point. He seemed...well rich. Like he had nothing to do with his money. But Blair wouldn't judge him by what she had observed at the moment. She would wait to see him when he knew she wasn't watching. That always happened, because weather she was using her powers or not, she was usually invisible. It was just the air around her. People just walked right past her as if they never saw her. She had grown up with that, so she was used to it, even thought she didn't like it.*

Alucard was a little surprised that she took the book from him so easily. He wondered why that was for a moment as he quickly studied her. He started to notice a few things. She had the look of someone who wanted to stand out, but she ironically didn't, she had an air around her of not feeling like she fit in, and lastly her clothes. They looked worn from use, but the kind that could only come from having been worn longer then this girl could have been wearing them. He had an idea of the rest why fairly quickly, but he trying to confirm it right now was not the right moment. He figured she didn't want someone asking her if she was an orphan suddenly by someone she hardly knew. If he was right though and based on what he already noticed, he guessed that she had been living a rough life until now. He felt empathetic for her since he knew how rough it could get. He thought about what he could do for a moment before he decided on an action.
" Blair, how would you like to go into town with me? Everything will be my treat of course." Alucard said to her in a polite tone of voice.
Alucard waited to see what she had to say with the thought of how she could take this to be a date the last thing on his mind.

*The playboy strikes again. Maybe he was just trying to be nice. 'I shouldn't be so rude to people who help me out....well rude in my mind' Blair thought to herself. Either way Blair barely knew him. She smiled politely at Alucard and shook her head* No thanks, but I appreciat what you have done for me. *Alucard has been nice to Blair, nicer than some have, but she didn't feel comfortable going on a date, or even going alone, somewhere with this guy she just met today. She did hope that he didn't think that she was being rude, or ungrateful to him. She would just rather stay at the mansion, plus she had a lot of work to do to catch up. She was behind and she knew that she had a bad habit of not doing her work. Luckily the school was willing to work with her on that.*
*Blair then went back to her book and continued to read it, but keeping a note on her surroundings this time. She did enjoy this book, but she was going to see if she enjoyed it all the way through before looking for the next book in the series. She may also look up reviews and see what other people thought of it.

Alucard listened as she said no to going into town. He was fine with that. He was going to just buy her some new clothes and whatever else it was that she wanted anyways so it didn't throw a wrench into any of his works. He just tried to smile back at her in reply, but it yet again came out as a flirty smirk.
" As you wish, but if you change your mind just let me know." Alucard said to her in a polite tone of voice.
Alucard closed his eyes for a moment after Blair went back to reading. He was feeling tired being up during the day. He thought about what he should do next when he started to feel hungry. He slowly opened his eyes back up since he figured he should go to the kitchen now and make himself some food. Before he moved to get up, he looked over at Blair.
" How would you like to join me for a meal instead?" Alucard asked her in a polite tone of voice. " You do not need to worry about cooking."
Alucard waited to see what she had to say. He hadn't had a meal with someone else in some time. He normally just cooked for himself, but he didn't mind cooking for others at times as well.

*As supsected Blair didn't jump at the second thing that Alucard said. She thought about his offer and realized that she too was hungry. But she didn't feel like eating. As the case in most places Blair had a bad habit of not eating much if she was uncomfortable. But to be nice she would go.* Sure, not sure how much I'll eat, but yea I'd like that. *She would do more cover up saying something like "I have a small apatite" or something like that if she didn't eat much and he wondered. Even thought Alucard didn't seem like the type of guy to ask that sort of question to a girl, or to anyone.*
*The last thing Blair wanted, was for people to know of her problems...then try to help her. When people tried to help with problems like Anerexia they seemed to get over bearing and are constantly watching her, making sure she ate. Blair hated when that happened. If she wasn't going to eat she wasn't going to eat, and that was how it would be.*
*With that Blair closed the book and stood up, hugging the book, and her sketch book to her chest she followed Alucard to the Kitchen, curious as to what he would make.*
