South

The southern part of the city has a chic family-oriented sort of charm to it. Here, small locally owned shops run rampant, neighbors often know each other by name, and the monthly socials are an event not to be missed. In the South, children can often be seen safely playing in the park or on sidewalks and in the weekends, families often take to the beach to enjoy the warm waters surrounding the city.

Ascension Center of Equitation

The Ascension Center of Equitation is the epicenter of the Dark Hunter Cavalry Unit. Originally a high-class facility for show-jumping, Ascension now caters entirely to the Cavalry Unit. Here the Dark Hunters learn how to ride and fight upon the backs of horses - many of which are Were's themselves.

Hyde Park

Hyde Place takes up a large part of the Southern side of the city and includes a large playground, several fountains, and a small garden. The park is open from five in the morning till midnight though many shady characters may visit this place while it's technically "closed". The park has also been a venue for several concerts and hosts many holiday-related events. Under a full moon, witches are often seen here for the sacred ground beneath the iconic Weeping Beech.

Point Defiance Zoo and Aquarium

The Point Defiance Zoo & Aquarium (PDZA) is an award-winning combined zoo and aquarium located within the Southern Part of Sacrosanct. Situated on 92 acres in Sacrosanct's Hyde Park, the zoo and aquarium are home to over 9,000 specimens representing 367 animal species. Point Defiance is also widely known for its conversation efforts regarding the breed and release program of Red Wolves.

The Outskirts

Beyond the city limits and over the bridge lies the deep, dark, and almost impenetrable forest. Often seen as a way to guard this magical city against the world that surrounds it, many are entirely ignorant of the evil that may creep between those tree trunks. Many were-creatures use the forest for the transformations of their newest members and some even take to hunting here. It isn't particularly peculiar for people to go missing within this forest but once you get through, the rest of the world awaits.

The University of Sacrosanct

The University of Sacrosanct offers some of the top programs in the nation with its outstanding campus and specialized faculty. The University places a high focus both upon educating future generations but also on research to help revolutionize the world.

I too often times think back to the day I met Kohl in that park. He just happened to be there, watching girls jog, I might add, when an unfortunate guy decided to try his luck and he ended up with a broken nose for his forwardness. I didn't really mean to cause that much attention and I had planned on running off before too many prying eyes could get close but before I could, my own personal savior in the form of some rich kid who enjoys watching girls jog but would not raise his own finger to press a button when he has staff to do it for him. It still stumps me that I stuck around instead of telling him to kindly go fuck himself and running off like I had planned on doing but I guess even then, I knew there was just something special about Kohl. I never had a relationship before him. I never even had a fling. In fact, I was what you'd call pure before Kohl ever put his devilish eyes on me. Sex was never in the books for me. There was only the obsession with my job.

All I knew was getting my target and saving the world every day without staying for the gratitude. I always knew people would be hunting me down and really, I didn't want to bring anyone into my life anyway. It was too dangerous. Of course there was also no one worth my interest until him. Maybe it was his quirky comebacks that gave me a run for my money or the intrigue he left me with when I found out he had OCD and didn't like to take his sunglasses off. Before I knew it, I was hooked and somehow Kohl become my drug. Of course I didn't make it easy for him. I made him beg and plead for most of the attention he did manage to get from me. I ran from intimacy like I run from an airborne virus. His touch became my addiction and I knew from the start it was dangerous but I wanted to play this game and more than that, I wanted to win. I've always been rather competitive and he brings it out in me. We had a drinking game that he had to admit to a tie on and that night, we got a little close. He found out about my affection for knives and I found out about his aversion to sharp needles.

Guess that means he'll never become a druggie. I knew he's worried about me since he found out what I am. I've seen him through half lidded eyes watching me sleep when I get back, his eyes hungrily taking in all my fresh wounds from the most recent fight. I get a lot of missed calls on my phone when I'm out and it's always him. I've even seen my phone light up, only to turn off mid ring like he changed his mind. He does a lot of calling and hanging up, as if just knowing my phone is ringing on the other end is enough to tell him I'm okay. I've never had to endure this type of connection before. I don't really know how to react. Even as I bite my lip, I know what I'm doing to him and I like to see him like this, hungry...for me. It makes me feel powerful and weak all at the same time. I shift in my seat, knowing the dark territory he must be thinking about which in turn drags my own thoughts in the same direction.

He shrugs at my remark and I laugh. "Culture? We'll go with that." My brow raises playfully as I concentrate on driving. I could get lost driving this car easily. It's so easy and it drives so smooth. The steering is exquisite. He doesn't talk about his past with women and I wouldn't ask if of him. The truth is, I really don't want to know what he's done with other women. I only want to remember everything he's done with me. I remember when I used to see the fancy cars in front of his apartment and the different girls going in and out. That was when he was trying to get to know me and I kept pushing him away. But now he wants to know why I lied to his friends so I have to explain the politics of women to him. He looks surprised like he never would have guessed it was that complicated. He leans back in his seat, trying to take it all in so I patiently wait for it to sink in while I drive the magnificent car. I raise a brow at him again as he speaks, smirking. "Well she didn't say anything about the way I dressed so I guess I'm in the clear."

My expression softens as I lower my voice from playful to something more serious. "I know that she means a lot to you so that makes her mean something to me." I offer him a smile to let him know I mean it. I want his friends to be my friends. He nods and grin,s crossing his arms behind his head, relaxing a little bit. He must trust my driving by now; he just doesn't want to admit it. My expression darkens a little when he starts talking about his parents. I don't resent him or anything for having that. I don't want pity for me not having my own parents. "It was something but it's not everything. You don't have to sugarcoat it because of me. Yeah, I didn't have parents. I still had a parent figure and it sounds like he was there for a lot more than yours ever were. Even if he is out to kill me now." I smirk a little, trying to lighten the mood.

He looks surprised at my answers and I laugh at his question before nodding. "Yes, I'm sure. I never got a lot of home cooked meals. It was always what was available and I found out quick enough that no matter what city you go to, there's always a hot dog vendor and they pretty much all taste the same." I smirk, wondering what he'll make of that. My eyes glitter playfully as he explains his own answers. I roll my eyes. Only he would pick a color that has to do with clothing options. Such a womanly thing to say. At the end, I grin. "Well then it's settled...you would make the perfect woman." I wait for his reaction before I laugh. "Your favorite color has to do with matching clothes and your favorite food is what every woman wants during that time of the month."

He sounds very excited about the car idea so I hope that distraction will bring back his manliness that I'm sure he's trying to find after my comment. "True. Don't doubt my flexing skills though." I give him a playful wink. I look out the window, watching the open country side. It's pretty out here but I guess I've gotten too used to being in city limits. He snorts at my whiny tone, giving me some directions which I follow without hesitation, though my brow lifts when I see the same driveway coming back up. He took us in a circle. I scowl. I look over at him, seeing the challenge in his eyes. "I'll remember that trick for later." I purr threateningly. I drive up the long winding driveway, looking out the window at the river that runs alongside it. As we pull in, I see the servant coming out to greet us and I smirk. "Of course there's servants and maids." I murmur more to myself than anything. I was starting to get used to it at Kohl's house but I still like my own privacy.

Kohl seems to recognize this servant though, greeting him by name. I raise my brows when the servant mentions he's been here forty years. I hope there's good pay and benefits. I smile and nod politely before following both men toward what I'm guessing is the west wing. I look around as we walk, biting my tongue on more comments about rich people and how they like to show off. I can't help but smirk as the servant talks some more. "Distress is an understatement." I mutter behind Kohl, sure that he might hear me but maybe not the servant. I tilt my head, listening to them go back and forth before the servant leaves. I take my own shoes off, following Kohl's example since I'm used to doing it at his house anyway, before following him across to the bedroom. As he sprawls across the bed, I head onto the terrace, just outside the doors so I can hear him as he starts to speak. I turn back to face him, my hands perched on either side of me on the railing as I tilt my head and watch him with a knowing smile. Of course it all comes back to sex with him.

I move slowly toward the bed, words purred off my lips as I come to perch my hands on the bed in front of him, leaning in dangerously close to his face. "As tantalizing as that last option sounds, I'm feeling a little mischievous. Let's go for the dangerous route. I want a drink." I grin deviously at him, giggling as I lean in to press my lips to his in an all too brief but teasing kiss.
