‘Click, Clack, Click, Clack’ the sound of heeled sandals echoed on the cobblestone walkways all around her. Girls in skirts up to their asses, and tube-tops that barely covered what they did not have. What was sad, was that this was the way people dressed in Miami most of the time and that she…SHE looked like the weird one. In a pair of shorts that showed her legs but where not whore-like. A woman’s fit tee that covered her boobs and did not let them hang out for everyone to see, and a pair of black flip-flips. The only thing about her that could be considered…abnormal would be the black, burning tattoo in the middle of her back. Her tee exposed just enough of the skin in her back to show it off and while tattoos were not un-common in Miami, anyone could tell this was different. It was Chinese symbolizing, and anyone who could read it would read “Fire”.
Elizabeth Malfoy gave a small sigh as she looked around. She had a corn-dog in one hand and a bottle of water in the other. She did not worry about her figure like all the other girls here, as she didn’t need to. With her constant workouts, her body was in peak condition. Her platinum blonde hair fell down her back in soft waves, the front straight as a pin framing her face. Her eyes were a light silver grey as they scanned all the passers by. Oh, how they would scatter if they knew the power she held, and how quickly should could kill them all. With a simple thought all around them would combust into flames…but she really did not wish for the ministry to down on her when her plans where not fully in motion yet. She still had not met with Fiona, Noah or her nephew and she needed to do all of that before her plans happened.
Over in England it was cold and snowy, but here it was warm and sunny, and thought Elizabeth did not get cold often…she hated attracting attention as she walked through snow drifts creating a circle of water around her where ever she went. Therefore, she always came here when it snowed, and while it was obvious she was British and most likely, the only one in this vicinity, no one bothered her, and for that, she was grateful.

Shane Flint walked out on the beach, wearing baggy khaki shorts and a dark olive green t-shirt. He looked around, seeing a bunch of slutty Muggles. Rolling his eyes, he diverted his gaze and saw someone who seemed to stick out. She looked familiar...he probably wouldn't have recognized Elizabeth Malfoy as easily if it hadn't been for the tattoo, but that's what tipped him off. Smirking, Shane slowly crept up behind Elizabeth. Surprisingly, he was almost silent in the sand. No ordinary person would have seen/heard him coming...but then again Elizabeth wasn't normal.
As Shane came up behind her, he tapped her on the shoulder and loudly said, "Sup?" Only at the last second did he realize that startling a fire elemental was probably NOT a good idea...

Shane had barley brushed her shoulder with his finger before she was up, hand on his neck, slowly burning his neck. Right now, it was hot enough for a sunburn type of burn, but it could easily be a lot more. “Don’t ever, ever sneak up on me…,” she said simply before throwing him down. She did not need any extra attention…well any more extra then she already got for the way she dressed. “What are you doing here? No one else from England comes here….if anything they visit New York to see that Adair chick.” She said simply before taking a sip out of her water.

"Yeah, thanks for the warm welcome," Shane said as he swallowed and slowly stood up, rubbing his neck. "No pun intended," he added, and after a pause, answered, "I don't know...Florida's hotter than New York, and it's freezing everywhere else. Except for the rain forests, but I hate all the humidity...what are you doing here?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

“I don’t like snow.” She said simply before she finished her corndog and flicked the stick into the trash easily. Which wasn’t exactly true, she didn’t care for snow…but since she had never touched the stuff as her hands were always to warm it didn’t really matter. “And I needed to get away for a while. My family and other matters are getting to complicated right now and I’m letting things sizzle down before I go back.” She said looking out at the ocean as it broke against the rocky shore. “Do you normally sneak up on people who could kill you in less then a second?” She added.

"It tends to happen..." Shane admitted, reminiscing. "But then again, most people could kill me if they really wanted to, so..." he trailed off. "Anyway...I haven't seen you in a while. Where've you been? Off planning world domination?" he asked, only half-joking. This was, after all, Elizabeth Malfoy.

‘Of course…it’s not that hard to kill mortals…’ She thought simply. “I’ve been home and traveling.” She said simply. If home meant going between her house and G.R.I.M. headquarters everyday to see head people about certain things. In addition, spending countless hours working on her power to fine tune them for when she finally did put her plans into action, slowly but surely. In addition, if traveling meant scouring the globe for powerful elementals and other powers who were willing to help her. “No, though even if I was, why would I believe that you should be privy to that information. I haven’t seen you except for one time in Hogwarts, and whether you know either of my brothers, one dead or not would not make anyone including you open to anything that I plan on doing or not doing in the future.”

Shane resisted the urge to make a sarcastic remark and simply said, "Ah. I'm not special enough for you," with a joking smile that he hoped she would see as what it was, and not something threatening. "Anyway...I guess it's not any business of mine when and how you conquer the world...how's Colby, by the way?" he added, suddenly remembering Elizabeth's brother.

Elizabeth just rolled her eyes, though the corners of her mouth did turn up in a slight smile, a rarity on her face. “He’s spazzing because his son has a strange power and he doesn’t know how to deal with it. Cole can walk into dreams and manipulate them and it is freaking my brother out just a bit and entertaining me greatly.” She said with a smirk and a light chuckle. “It really isn’t that hard of a power to control, he’s just scarred of it and his father isn’t helping.”

"Oh, so ickle dream walkers and special enough for you and I'm not?" Shane asked with a dramatic sob. He had learned long ago that most jokes and anything that was actually funny did not amuse her as much as it did for...well, normal people...But that didn't mean he wasn't going to try anyway! ((She reminds me of my cousin...who I'm going to see on Saturday, if I survive the week.)) "So, you and Colby are still in a sibling *rivalry*?" he asked, putting air quotes on the word 'rivalry', because only for Malfoys did it mean 'death match'.

“Exactly….if that really was so difficult for you to figure out you really should just leave now.” Elizabeth said totally straight faced, but anyone who knew her knew she was being sarcastic…so knowing Shane he would take it literally as they hadn’t really talked aside from that one time on the platform and another time at Sparks… “And my brother and I have never had a rivalry. He is jealous because Josh use to be the eldest heir and I was Josh’s favorite, and then when Josh was killed I became the eldest heir. I gave him the house but most of the estate is mine and he dislikes the fact. He tries to push the whole, soul heir bit in my face with his son…to bad his son is scared shitless of what I could and have already almost succeeded in doing to him.” She said with a shrug examining her freshly manicured nails.

"Same old heartless Elizabeth," Shane stated, and it didn't sound like a bad thing as much as it did a compliment. "So, you're the all powerful goddess of the Wizarding World? I haven't seen you in the papers listed as most powerful person on earth. Trying to be subtle?" he asked, holding back a smirk.
//Gah, short...can't think.//

//Danny...you really need to start giving me more to work with...I hate replying...when there is not much to reply to!//
Elizabeth simply rolled her eyes at the heartless comment, but did not make a move to deny it. She knew she didn't care for anyone execpt herself, but why should she? She did not need a romantic relationsip, her brother was captain of the idiots anonomous club, and everyone in G.R.I.M. had their own lives to worry about. "Actually, I hate attention and try to stay out of the limelight as much as possible. I live in my house, un-plottable and not able to be found unless you know where it is before hand and I stay there pretty much all the time to stay away from the press. So, yes suttle could be a word used to describe me, or private is also one."

//ISH SORRY! You keep telling me to reply while I'm in the middle of HW and projects, and I've been up til midnight three days in a row (this is the first time that I wasn't doing HW during that time)...I've had almost no free time in the last week.//
"Elizabeth, do you know what the word 'anthropophobia' means?" Shane asked, raising an eyebrow and failing to hold back a smirk. "Because, if I didn't know you better, it would almost seem like you were anthropophobic..." he added, guessing that she would probably actually know it, just because she was Elizabeth and knew random stuff like that that no one in their right mind would learn...for example, Shane knew it. He took his hands out of his pockets and straightened his shirt.

Elizabeth glared at him, "Oh you are so hilarious. No, I'm not afraid of people, I just dislike people. People are discusting and rude and normally don't care about anyone except themselves. They will put on a front to care but in actuallity most people don't." she said with a shrug. "Added to that, when they find out you aren't a normal person they hate you even more and/or are jelous of you and I really hate having deal deal with petty human feelings. It bores me most of the time." She added, her voice calm and neutral.

Shane decided that, while very entertaining, it was probably not a very good ideato insult a fire elemental, so he dropped the subject. He also figured that she didn't give a crap about apologies, so he didn't bother with that either. "OK, just making sure," he said finally, ending the conversation and moving on. "So...anyway..." he trailed off, not really knowing what to talk about, and semi-nervously played with the bottom of his shirt.

“So, is there any particular reason why when you saw me you decided to come over? Where you trying to see if I would kill you or not? Or are you simply channeling that elemental Tripp in his wish to die? Because I still have yet to formulate a reason you would come and seek me out…I mean…from what I’ve heard you have been going soft. Bringing cookies and brownies to werewolves? Shane, really. I mean…your father was more of a threat then you are and truthfully, I hate wasting time with lost causes. So unless you have something you would like to tell me, please leave now and let me enjoy this wonderful warm sun without the bother of a pussy hanging around.” Elizabeth said closing her eyes and turning her face towards the sun.

Shane bristled and his laid back attitude immediately blew up in his face. He didn't give a damn who told her or how she knew about anything, but he was still plenty pissed off. "I only did it for a friend...no, not the werewolf," he said through gritted teeth. "And I didn't particularly feel the need to waste both of them. I have to say that I do have some respect for life, unlike you, so I can't really expect you to understand my motives. Which brings me to a question I've been longing to ask you for years. What's your goal in life? Killing everyone who antagonizes you a bit? Taking over the world? What next, Elizabeth? Sit around in the graveyard of a world you created and rule the pathetic people who are still living? After that? What? Wait for death?" Shane asked heatedly, shifting from defense to offense in a heartbeat.

“Yes, you did it because your little girlfriend felt sorry for the Auror who put YOU in Azkaban and you decided, oh I’ll help him now and maybe he’ll forgive me after I was broken out of Azkaban. Really, Shane, you are a BIT dim witted. As for my goals? Unless you know of someone who has cloned me, I have only ever killed two people in my entire lifetime. Because three people can keep, a secret if two of them are dead is in reality a true saying. You have no idea what I want or what I like, and I do not believe that you are qualified to be privy to that information.” Elizabeth said calmly. Her voice was low and ice dripped off every word, but her face was stone, along with her eyes, not giving away a single emotion. “And just a bit of side information, elementals, while not undead do live a long time past the normal mortal scale of life, unless they choose not to. They make the choice in their own heads whether to invoke the powers that they poses, or they can not invoke them and live the normal life-span of any mortal. Moreover, I do not fear death, but rather embrace it as a part of life that will eventually come. So do not get all offensive with me Shane Flint, when you know that every single word that came out of my mouth was true.” Elizabeth added her voice still cold and her face still stone. Her eyes had yet even to flash in anger like they would have years ago, but that is what happened when you trained countless hours a day. Elizabeth was determined to learn the full extent of her powers, and how far she could push them and still have them be in her control. Unfortunately, she could not practice as much as she wanted here in Miami because of the prospect of burning down the hotel…but she would be returning to England and her house soon, so there was no need for her to worry. “And really Shane, trying to get a low blow in on me is never going to work. I have verbally sparred with the best of them and they have yet to crack my exterior so you really will have no chance. Moreover, letting your anger control you is not only stupid on your part, but I am going to tell you that it is entertaining on my part. You let emotions control what you say and how you say it and really have no control over what you want to say and what you do say. So before you try and wound me with your words you may want to think about what you are saying and the impact it will REALLY have on me if any.” She finished a smirk on her lips, lasting only a minute before she went back to her cool demeanor, showing nothing and criticizing everything.

//Shane: 0, Elizabeth: 1000000...//
Shane gritted his teeth so hard, it was a wonder that they didn't start to chip. After a second, he simply told himself to relax and calmed down. His reasoning was that he didn't feel like arguing on a day like this, nor did he want to attract attention by dueling. But everyone knows that he just knew he was outclassed. "Fine, whatever. But you still haven't answered my question," he said finally. It was more of a concluding statement than a request for her to answer.

“Question about my goals? Yes…actually…I did answer it though your small mind was probably still wrapped around my first sentence of speaking. You are not privy to the information that is my goals or my plans or anything else that involves me.” Elizabeth said with a shrug of her shoulders as she looked back up at the sky, her eyes closed and a smirk on her lips. The Florida sun felt wonderful on her already heated skin and how she relished in the fact that England was in snow and here she was….thirty feet from the beach and ready to take a dip if she so desired.

"Well, you see, boy brains don't normally listen to hour long speeches," Shane explained, trying to crack a joke. "Whatever, be secretive, I don't care. But I expect to be the person who has license to the Elizabeth Malfoy World Domination T-shirt line when the time comes...or at least a free t-shirt...or a discount...or something!" he added.
