Matthew Rider



Matthew Rider sat near the water's edge of one of the many canals that ran through Amsterdam. The vast majority of the canals were used as one means of transportation to different points. It connected the high town to the lower town, it connected the markets to the countryside. It was one sure way to get where you wanted to go.

There were some canals that were mainly used for swimming; these were not nearly as deep as the main canals and they had a different water source entirely. There were only about two or three canals in all of Amsterdam that were safe to use for the purpose of swimming. Luckily enough one was located in the city. That was the one that Matthew used a lot.

Matthew was wearing a dark blue jacket that wasn't zipped up and a pair of skin tight black shorts over damp swim trunks. Beside him were his pair of shoes and his pair of dark gray goggles. Looking to his left he spied a boy no more than twelve years old. The boy was eating a chocolate chip cookie. Snickering to himself Matthew waited until the boy opened his mouth to take another bite before Matthew used his ability to rip the cookie from the boy's hand. The cookie hovered in the air right in front of the kid's face before it began to circle around him.

The expression on the boy's face was priceless. It was one of pure fear. Obviously he had never seen a floating cookie before. The boy started to cry and then ran up the stone steps that led back on to the main street, coming back down moments later with a lady that Matthew could only guess was the boy's mother.

By that time Matthew had used his ability to place the cookie on the table where the boy had been sitting. He watched the boy point to the cookie and he watched the mother look at the cookie and then shake her head as if she didn't believe her son. When the mother's back was turned, Matthew concentrated and lifted the cookie up in the air once more.

The child shrieked and before the mother could turn around, Matthew concentrated once more and put the cookie back down on the table. This went on for several moments before the boy's mother took the cookie and threw it in to the canal.

When that happened Matthew couldn't help but laugh. The kid had really made that too easy. And his facial expressions...priceless! Chuckling to himself Matthew scooted away from the water before he put his shoes on and then grabbed his goggles.

Standing up he turned and trotted up the stone steps and back up to street level. He walked all the way to Kalverstraat, or what he called the shopping hub of the area. There were plenty of shops shoved in to only one street. Matthew really disliked going to Kalverstraat because it was always so busy but there were things he needed to get.

As he passed by a table where a merchant was selling necklaces and fake rings, Matthew saw a young lady reach for a pink ring. At the last second Matthew caused the ring to fly to the right, away from the girl's outstretched fingers. He stopped and watched the girl make another grab for the ring. This time Matthew caused the ring to jump up and smack the girl in the face before falling back on to the table.

The merchant kept apologizing to the girl and insisting that he didn't know what was happening. The girl however started crying and then walked off. Matthew held his tongue but couldn't keep the smile off of his face. This was turning out to be a glorious day!

Marius Daae



Marius had spent the last couple of days alone looking for a job he had money stashed away and lots of it to but still he felt the need to work. Maybe it was just a way to not be so bored all the time and to keep his life just a little more active and involved. Lately he had to much time on his hand and couldn't help but think of the family he left behind. His mother who was probably worried sick and his father extremely angry at what Marius had done but at the same time would have welcomed him back with open arms if the pack would have allowed.

He missed his family,his pack. No.... they were never his family or at least they never treated him as such. Being a shifter he was only allowed in the pack because his father was a werewolf which in his pack it was rare for any one that wasn't a full blooded werewolf to be allowed in or stay. However his father was well respected and Marius was welcomed into the pack. Though they never really treated him as one of their own.

To be honest he was glad he was gone, tired of that life and enjoying the new one. scratching another job off his list he tried to find the next place to go to. Most of the places he had visited had all ready hired or he wasn't what they were looking for. Luck never seemed to be on his side.

Walking down Kalverstraat he eyed all the shops suspiciously. Cheap, knock offs and phony people... just what the world needed more off. You had to watch yourself and hope you weren't a big enough idiot to fall for what they were selling. He knew he wouldn't find a job here but still the people watching was entertaining to him.

He stopped and watched at one of the shops as a ring flew in the air and a girl started to cry. He looked around to question what was causing this and a man not to far from him caught his eye. A smirk crossed his face, he should have known Mathew would have been behind something like that.

You know its not nice to pick on poor innocent girls he said place his hand on Mathew's shoulder momentarily to let him know he was there. One of these days you may find your future wife, and id dont think she will be impressed by you making her jewelry fly he said. from personal experience humans weren't to keen on the idea of people like them... people who were well not human. Still he couldn't help to laugh at the girl that was crying and the merchant who looked utterly confused.

Matthew Rider



Matthew glanced to his right when he felt a hand on his shoulder. Recognizing Marius, he just smiled and laughed. “Oh come on man,” he said, “You gotta admit that it was pretty hilarious.” Mattie loved picking on people so long as no one got seriously hurt. It always brought a smile to his face and a chuckle echoing from his lips.

Turning, Matthew faced his friend directly. “You can't tell me that you have never pranked one single person in your life.” If Marius said that there was no way Mattie would believe it. It was impossible. There was no way Marius could have gone on without pranking someone.

He chuckled again and then ran a hand through his blond hair. The jewelry owner was still trying to make sense of what had happened. He had the ring in hand and was studying it very closely. “Anyway, what's up man? Haven't seen you in awhile.”

This was true it had been a little while since the two had talked. Their friendship had started out rocky enough but they had grown in to accepting one another and now they were close pals. It was a weird friendship to be sure but a welcome one. Mattie always liked hanging out with Marius because the guy for some reason made him feel so alive. It wasn't the things they did it was just being around him that made all the difference.

Matthew took one more look at the jewelry owner before he turned and walked away from the table. If he hung around too much longer someone might start to get suspicious. “How's life been treating you?” Matthew asked. It was a fairly simple question and one that he knew was probably going to get a one word answer but he didn't care.

He had decided to ignore Marius's comment about a future wife. Matthew wasn't looking; Marius knew that. In fact the idea of any sort of family scared Matthew because of what had happened to him as a child. He didn't want to have any future son or daughter have to go through that.
