There was a light rain as Cooper walked through the streets of Venice. There was a sounds coming from stall owners trying to sell tourists a cheap souvenir. It had been about nine years since he walked the streets with his mother and father. He stopped at a stall selling masks and looked at the different colors and animal faces. "See anything you like?" the stall owner asked. Cooper shook his and started to walk again. "This place hasn't changed much since I lived here," he said laughing a bit. He came upon a small bookstore and walked inside, he scanned through the shelves looking at a couple interesting books.

Tira was seeking for books in the store. She had already scowered all over Milan, and now a days it wasn't hard to travel. She had left her car on the outskirts of the city, just so she wouldn't have to wast gas in such a beautiful place. Tira ran her fingertips over the books, looking for a certain title. "Hmmm, i guess they don't have it either." She said aloud in a sigh. Her eyes veered away from the books for a moment. "Um, excuse me? " She looked to the scrawny young man down the same aisle as her. "Do you have this book?" She came towards him with a peice of paper, a title was on it and an authors name. "I can't seem to find it anywhere." Tira had no idea that he didn't work there.

Cooper looked over at the girl and smiled at her. "Sorry I don't work here, and I've never seen a book like that in my life," he said. He started to look through the books again but found nothing of interest. Cooper started to head for the front door when he turned around. "I'm sorry if I seem a like I'm getting into your business, but would you happen to be here on vacation, you don't seem like someone who would live around here?" he asked. He stood near the front door to see if she was reply to what he just asked.

She shook her head. "No i am just looking for this book, but i am form Milan. And sorry for the mix up earlier." She leaned forward to look him in the eye. "Are you familiar with me?" She put her hand on his forehead and moved his hair aside. Normally Tira would respect somebody's private space, but she felt she knew him, and his smell was familiar. She pulled her hand back. "I'm.. I'm sorry, that was terribly rude of me." She knew this smell, but couldn't announce publicly where she knew him from. "I have to go, please excuse me." She pushed passed him dropping the slip of paper on purpose. Tira hoped he would follow her out of the store, so she may address him properly.

Cooper knelt down and picked up the slip of paper. He turned around and followed her out the door. "Excuse me miss, you dropped your piece of paper," he called after her. He started to run and caught up with her, he held the piece of paper out to her. "I'm sorry for following you but you dropped this, and my name is Cooper, what were you talking about, am I familiar with you, I don't think I have ever seen you in my life," he said looking at her confused. He pushed her into one of the nearby alleys hoping no one noticed. "Now please explain what you are talking about," he said.

Tira looked around to make sure nobody was watching her. Lugaru used to be able to do the greeting without being noticed. But now that Lycans were hunting them, it was dangerous to even try it. Tira placed her hand over her head and reavealed her neck in the bowing fation. She knew that he was a part of the pack, and he would soon recongnize her. Tira waited for him to do the same but she motioned him to be wuick about it, so they wouldn't be caught. "Cooper, it has been a long time since the last hunt. I really didn't recongnize you for a moment." Tira said as she raised her head and let her hair go.

Cooper bowed as she had, and suddenly had a flashback. He raised his head and looked at the girl. "Tira how long has it been since I last saw you, I'm sorry I didn't recognized you," he said. Cooper walked out of the alley and gestured for Tira to follow. "Come with me I have a place where we can talk," he said. He walked through the streets again hearing the roar of stall owners and tourists. He put his arms out and felt the rain touch his skin and smiled, "So what have you been up to lately?" he asked.

Tira followed. "Well the last hunt was about two months ago, so i guess that long huh? So many new people have joined our pack since then it's hard to get word out for another hunt." Tira pulled up her hood so the rain didn't wet her hair. She was wearing a white lolita hoddie and ironicly it had a set of ears at the top of the hood. "Nothing really, just book hunting like always, oh and club hopping. Nothing too interesting." She glanced over at a couple of people who were walking along the cobblestone streets. "And you, what have you been doing? Do you even go visit him at all?" Tira knew that Cooper would understand what she meant by him.

"No I haven't visited him I was planning to do so soon enough though," He said. Cooper looked at Tira's hoddie and laughed a little. "Cute hoddie by the way," he said with a smile on his face. HE looked around and turned into a narrow all, and followed it all the way to the end. "I came back to Venice to see what I have missed more almost nine years, but apparently this place never changes," he said. When he emerged from the narrow alleyway, he came upon a door. Cooper pulled an old faded key from his pocket and unlocked the door. "It looks like no one has yet found my old hideout," he said unlocking the door. He opened it up and gestured for her to go inside.

Tira luahged. "Thanks." She followed him down the alleyway. "Venice is a tourist spot. It'll never change, no matter how hard you wish it to." She walked behind him, and watche dher step. Vencice was on the water and when it rained the cannal water rose and spills over onto the street. She stopped and watched Cooper bend down and open the door. "You really expect me to get on my hands and knees and crawl in there?" Tira raised a brow. She saw his serious look on his face. She rolled her eyes and got down and crawled into this small hideout.

"It is not that I wish Venice would change it just has a lot of memories painful and happy," Cooper said. He got down on his hand and knees and followed behind her. "Don't worry the inside of my hideout i very large, it has three different rooms, sometimes I would sleep in here so there are beds," he said. When they were both inside he closed the door, cutting off any light coming in. He walked over to a switch and was surprised to see his lights some on. "I'm guessing the house I taped into for electricity never figured it out," he said with a smile across his face. Cooper sat down in a recliner chair in the main room and yawned.

Tira sat on the floor, feeling that it was just easier because she was already down there. "He is choosing his wife tonight. Are you coming to the club?" She asked curiously. "All the humans will be cleared out, and guards will be on Lycan alert." She added. Tira had to go. For the females of the pack it was manditory. Though she didnt think she would be chosen, there still was a chance and she had to follow the rules like anbody else. "I think there is a hunt afterwards, i'm not sure but you should come. Anyways i must be going if i want to get home and changed for tonight." Tira made her way back to the exit. "Cooper you really should come." She left right after that. It was a two hour drive back to Milan, so she had to make the trip now. ((come join us in the club if you want to come))

Cooper watched as Tira left, he looked down and sighed. He got up from his chair grabbed his jacket and turned off the lights and left his hideout, he locked the door and started to walk down the alleys. "I should go but I don't know," he said to himself. After walking around for a while, his hair started to drip and he was soaking wet. Cooper walked to the edge of town and got into his Scion. He dried off and took a glance back at Venice. He started up his car and started to drive. ((skip two hours to arriving in Milan))
Cooper arrived in front of his house and pulled his car into the driveway. He got out of his and unlocked the front door to his house. "I don't know if I should go," Cooper said with a sigh. He went into his room and threw on a new outfit, blue jeans and a white t-shirt. He walked back outside and got into his car to go join Tira at the club.

((OK))
Cooper walked into the club and sat down at one of the stools. He looked down at his hands and sighed. "I don't even know why I'm here, I should have just stayed home and slept," he said with a sigh. Cooper looked around but didn't see many people.
