Adaptation: 1985!: R.I.P.

Jason shook his head quickly. "no i'm not" he said just as quickly. he didn't know this girl was a vampire. he thought she was just a normal girl and was trying to draw her away from the truth.

"Poor baby..." Bella shook her head, "You can't fool me. I've seen plenty of demons in my life and I'm ashamed that I didn't see it sooner." She sat down on the counter, crossing her legs over her knee. She smiled again, this time letting her mouth open slightly. Among her white teeth, one fang was visible, sharp and deadly as it was elegant.

Jason caught sight of the fang and relaxed a bit. "oh so you're a vampire?" he said morethan asked. "if that's the case then it doesn't surprize me you figured it out." he said.

Bella laughed, "No need to fear me, I mean no harm." her green eyes caught the light and sparkled with interest.

Jason smiled at her. "i don't mean any harm either" he said smiling at her. "so what brings you around this part of town? did you come all the way just to watch me race?" he asked.

"I live here." She explained, "And I did come a little ways to watch the races. I have thing for speed." She grinned mischievously.

Jason smirked. "seems we both do." he said. "do you have a car?" he asked. he wondered if she was a racer too or if she just watchd.

Bella shook her head, "No. I usually run." She looked down at her shoes, "Stupid, I know."

Jason smirked at her. "well if you want i can give you a car" he said. "you can pick any except for the corvette i was driving earlier" he said smiling at her. He hopped up on the bar next to her. "just don't lose it in a race" he said.

Bella smiled, "I can run faster than anything you have. But, thanks for the offer."

Jason shrugged. "yeah i can too but i'd rather drive so that i look more normal. it wouldn't be good if someone decided to figure out how you got everywhere so fast." he said.

Bella shrugged, "I suppose you're right." She sighed.

Jason smiled at her. "so if you want to get a ride just ask me. or point out any racer's ride and i'll win it for you" he said. "oh and feel free to come visit me whenever you want" he said. he was glad to meet another "immortal" like himself.

"Trust me, I'll remember where this place is." She smiled, "And I'm a fairly modest one. Not anything flashy."

Jason smiled at her. "i hope you'll come by often. now do you have any car in mind you'd want?" he asked smiling happily at her.

Bella shrugged, "Like I said, just nothing to flashy."

"mustang alright with you?" he asked, referring to the deep blue mustang in his garage. he thought she might like that but wasn't sure.

Bella nodded, "That's fine, thank you."

Jason pulled the keys from his pocket and handed them to her. "it's all yours" he said grining happily at her, glad to help..

Bella caught them with no problems, smiling her half-smile that lifted just the right side of her mouth, "Thank you." She pocketed the keys, "So, what do they call you?"

"depends who you mean by 'they'. my name is jason amaroq but i've also been called Lobo" he said shrugging. "what about you?" he asked loooking at her smile.

Bella gave a quick bow of her head, "In the human world, I was known for a time as Isabella Strauss." She said, her name bringing to mind a news article from 1924 about a young girl who went missing in that same year. They never found her body, but they later discovered that she had been shot by her father and that her mother had died the same night as her.

Jason raised an eyebrow. "well i feel like i'm in the prescence of a celebrity" he said remembering that article. "so how long have you been in town?" he asked her.

"Two years." She said simply, as if she were speaking in days.

"wow i can't believe i never saw you before. was that the first of my races you've been to?" he asked. he had been wandering this city for almost a decade now.
