There it was. The waking cue. Something within her territory pulsed. She could feel it, pounding in her ears like a war drum. The rhythm uncanny, enticing. Alluring. She stirred in her slumber. Unable to rest peacefully with that annoyance pounding in her head. Then she caught the scent. It whafted through the walls like a sirens call. Beckoning her out of her slumber. Long lashes fluttered. Slowly as if rousing from a peaceful dream. But she did not wake not yet.<br/><br/>It was possibly some passer by, some random soul encouraged to trespass into the territory of the unknown. She was not bothered, no one could find her place of slumber. Yet as if each step that vessel took, her body tugged. Pulled in its direction. Strawberry curls swayed as the head rose, torso pushed up from the threshold of her sheets as she finally woke. Vivid emerald hues snapped open. There was no finding Iayda.. she found you.<br/><br/>Like a sleepless child she crawled out of the bed. Barefeet touching the cold, stone floor as she rose. A long silk dress fell about her figure, fitting to every curve. Slits to expose the creamy expanse of her pale legs. The centre fold cut intricately to define the flat tone surface of her stomach. Petite hands rose to rub at those emerald hues as she focused in on the room. There was purpose for this, she could feel it as the dry feeling in her throat nearly choked her. She needed to feed, and the blood of some helpless, unsuspecting mortal was calling her name.<br/><br/>She started up the winding stairwell towards the back escape route, one that would lead her into the moonlit garden. The terrace overlooking the rest of the town far beneath the cliffs. The Castle resided high upon a mountain side, winding trails, barren wasteland, and yet a beautiful garden strived in its wake. Iayda approached the outside, the night air licked at her skin as she ascended from the private escape route. Stepping out onto the stone walkway. Sleepy eyes glancing around as she searched for the vessel whose blood called for her.
