Vampire AU Prequel

[echolls_cursed]

Logan didn't do bars, not often any way. Too many people, too much going on... too many girls sniffing for money rather than love. Usually he hated it, but tonight...

Tonight he just needed to get out, to have a few drinks and enjoy the city of LA for what it was. Mindless, soulless, and empty. Really, the more he dwelled on it the more Logan was sure those were exactly the sort of qualities he'd been looking for in home, and he grinned as he polished off his drink and left enough cash on the bar for tip and his tab.

Ignoring the many writhing and twisting bodies on the dance floor, Logan made his way to the exit, ready to head home for the night. Passing the pool table, he pushed open the door and stepped into the night. The streets were busy, but he didn't mind, he'd cut through the alleyway and take a shortcut home.

The lamp light flickered as he stepped into the darkened ally, blinking out just as he headed into the shadows. It was alright though, he wasn't scared, he wasn't some sweet sixteen princess with her virtue to worry about... Logan was tough. He was eighteen now, and he had no fear.

Joe snorted with laughter, reaching over the girl to pluck at the elastic of the pants, then shrugged. "Guess you don't look half bad," he allowed.

"So, is this all you do?' Logan asked. "Hunt, eat, have sex with stunning young men?"

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"More or less," Joe said, nodding a bit. "Stunning young women, too." Whoever the fuck he wanted, really, and some he'd killed, but others he'd let go. "Stay alive."

"How long o I have before you get bored with me?" Logan asked, nudging the girls body out of his way as he moved closer to Joe.

"I never get bored of anyone, I just make new friends," Joe replied with a quiet laugh. "That's not how this shit works, there's no bored and less boring, there's just... it all works. You come see me whenever the fuck you want and I'll do the same."

"Fair enough," Logan decided. "So, what do we do now? Sun's coming up and she's hogging your bed."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"You're gonna get off your ass for about ten minutes and help me dump her," Joe decided, looking over at the window. They had enough time to take her down the road, get rid of her and get back.

"Fine, pass me a t-shirt, and let's go," Logan smirked, getting to his feet and looking cheerful.

Joe reached over and grabbed a shirt for Logan, tossing it to him as he got dressed again. A moment later he was ready and he grabbed the girl, dressing her back in her shirt before he lifted her off the bed.

"Open the door for me and then go through the kitchen to the back."

Rolling his eyes, Logan followed Joe's orders, leading them out into the night and down the street. "How about the ally one block over?" he suggested.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, that'll work," Joe agreed, shifting the girl in his arms and following Logan out into the night. "Not too far, but it'll be far enough."

Ducking into the ally, Logan looked around, leaving Joe to dump the body as he traced over some old graffiti with his fingertips.

Joe found a place to put her behind a garbage bin, knowing she wouldn't be found for a couple of days if he left her there, then covered her body in bags and newspapers.

"Done," he announced, heading back.

"Wanna go to my place?" Logan said. "Change of scene... I have a penthouse up at the Hilton."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, let's go," Joe agreed. "It's not far, right? If we end up in the fucking daylight... well, you know what happens there."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Just down the road," Logan nodded, starting in that direction and wondering just how Vamp safe it was. He had heavy curtains... that was about it.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Then we're good," Joe agreed, heading in that direction with Logan. "How big is your place?" It had to be a hell of a lot better than the place Joe currently had.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

"Does it matter?" Logan asked with a laugh, leading the way with long strides and fast steps. "It's big, alright. Bigger than most apartments around here. It's got two bedrooms, a kitchen... living room, dining area. The basics."

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Yeah, because I'm a shallow, shallow fucker," Joe said simply, nodding as he continued to follow Logan along toward his place. "I like big places."

Rolling his eyes, Logan was silent until they reached the hotel, ignoring the man at the desk and heading right for the elevator.

It took them straight up, no stops or waiting before it dumped them into a dimly lit hall and Logan dug out his key card.

"Nice," Joe murmured as they approached Logan's room, tucking his hands into his pockets as he waited for Logan to let them inside. "Nicer than the shit holes I used to stay in anyway."

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Letting them in, Logan didn't bother with a tour, he just headed straight for the bar and grabbed a beer. "Want one?" he offered.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

Joe nodded his agreement and headed over to where Logan was, holding his hand out for a beer. "Yeah, man, thanks," he said simply.

[echolls-cursed.livejournal.com]

Handing Joe a beer, Logan shrugged a little. "So, big enough?" he asked.

[jdick.livejournal.com]

"Big enough," Joe agreed with a smirk, opening the beer when Logan handed it to him. "Where'd you get the money for this place?"
