Genna looked to the door, a bit surprised that it didn't bust down. When he spoke of going to the post office she was a bit confused. Isn't that what we have a mailbox for? she questioned to herself. Mentally shrugging she called out, "okay..." trailing a bit. "Oh!" she called, sitting up a bit more in the tub, "can you get some tacos? I want a chalupa." She didn't care the time, if it damaged her figure she'd just work it off. Work, she repeated in her head, what is that anymore. She found herself staring into the skewed reflection of herself in the soapy water and pulled the drain up with her toes.

"Wh-what?" she stammered, "are you serious?" A gulp rose up from her throat with anticipation that he was lying or excitement that he wasn't. When was the last time that they had truly fed, the thrill of the hunt. Her mind was going fast, she blinked and found herself outside in a park. Damn it, she sighed leaning against a tree, gently closing her eyes. To passerbyers it looked as though she was taking in the scenery and the cool air; while the vampiress was honing in on a potential target awaiting her husband.

"Well of course, only the best. See ya in a bit," Lucio spoke through the door, walking down the stairs and out of the house shortly thereafter. The father got into the driver's seat and began the drive toward the post office first, figuring there was probably nothing there but feeling it didn't hurt to check. Just in case, as it seemed to happen every so often, the council left something for them. So long, had it been, since they had to deal with those pricks... Lucio stopped the car at the post office parking lot, thinking. Genna really just didn't seem like she used to. Ever since they cut ties with vampire hunting, things just haven't been quite what they used to. Sighing, he left the car to go check if there was anything in the PO box.

That was fast. Danny, though he wasn't a fan of hunting, knew things were much different for his partner. She was, quite literally, a subject of the devil. She was going to have a thirst greater than his, so he could only imagine how long she's been waiting for a fresh source of blood. The vampire, shortly after she stopped at the tree, appeared beside her when the coast was clear. "Guess we're hunting for our son's computer later?" he murmured with a smirk.

((I took longer when I posted :'p 7 months, it looks like))

Watching the last of the water fade through the drain, listening to the weird slurping sound of the bubbles getting stuck, the huntress mind wandered. Getting out of thr bath she grabbed a towel, flipped her head forward to bring her long hair over and wrapped it up in a twist in the towel. She then caught a glimpse of herself in the mirror, faint scars scattered throughout the woman's pale skin. Slowly, her hand went over her body, her fingertips lightly touching as though the pain was still there or would emerge. Looking to her side she saw her razor blade. Her hand reached towards the object, can I even feel pain? Her nail scratched the surface of the steel before moving her hand to the bottle of lotion. Squeezing a bit in her palm she began to smooth it on, slightly chuckling she grabbed her phone. "Could use your help =p" she texted Lucio a picture of the bottle. Looking at the time, eh she won't be home anytime soon, she left the bathroom and pulled on of her husband's shirts over her head, removing the wet towel from her head and sprawled herself across the bed.

"You're afraid that I will lose all we worked for huh?" she questioned, almost to herself. She looked over to her husband, eyes glowing an excited red. "You know he'd be better at choosing it" she replied making a slight scowl due to not having the knowledge to get their son a present, "there's so many options for more or less the same thing" She scoffed towards the end turning her attention back to the people in the park. Her eyes closed as she inhaled slowly, a malicious grin creeping across her lips. "Hello lovely," she breathed out before appearing across the park in front of her victim.

He walked into the post office and opened his PO box, finding absolutely nothing. He wasn't exactly expecting anything, anyway. They were out of the network, just the two of them alone in this world with their daughter. He looked down and pulled the phone out of his pocket, revealing a picture of a bottle of lotion and a caption. He felt his face get warm and responded with "coming! :'D i'll get tacos later" Of course, he wasn't going to do that. When it was taco day, it meant business. The father chuckled on his way back to the car before going to get tacos.


Not sure if she was talking to herself or to him, Danny ignored the question. "I just figured we would buy the expensive one, to be honest," he chuckled softly, also having no clue what kind of computer their son needed. Something with a lot of memory or something like that. Shrugging, he flashed across the park with Mia and appeared behind the victim, commenting with the natural vampire charm laced in his voice, "do you mind if we join you here for a minute?" His red eyes glanced toward Mia's, a sort of... fondness being remembered. He liked being 'human', but at the same time, he hadn't seen this kind of excitement or thrill come from Mia in so long...

"What are you doing for lunch?" He looked over his shoulder to his friend. As he did so he caught multiple girls turn their gaze away from him. The roll of his eyes could be audible with the irritation. Have I managed to get popular or something? He groaned in thought. He'd have to ask Natalie later but for now his focus was on food. Man why did time seem to stop... going to die of starvation over here.

A minute? She thought surprised, that seemed much too long. Guess he wants to play with food. She tried hiding her excitement as the man simply nodded to Dannys' question and sat down on a nearby bench. Mia seated herself directly next to him, almost sitting in the male's lap. She turned his chin up to her husband and the man gave a grin when Mia bent in to his ear. "This may hurt a little," she spoke with words of velvet.

[camomatt]

"Well, I plan on eating, for one!" Natalie grinned and held up her lunchbox, "after that? I dunno, I think we should go play basketball! Or soccer!" Full of energy as always. Natalie would love nothing more than to go running about on the blacktop or on the field with her friends. She saw the look of irritation in Jeremy's eyes and looked over her shoulder at the girls, then quickly stepped to Jeremy's side again. "Want to eat outside again?" she suggested with a bright smile.
Danny's eyes kept a lookout for others who may stroll by and they seemed to be in the clear. Not that it mattered. Hunters were the only things to fear, of which only two seemed to be of considerable annoyance to them. But those two were retired.

"Only a little," he assured the male. He leaned over the bench toward Mia, kissing her lips briefly, before waiting for her to have her fill. He could always finish where she left off.

[angelsfury666]

"Sarcasm has no place in this world," the boy stated with a straight face, his voice monotonous. He debated whether or not to take off with her lunchbox,but looking her up and down he decided against it. She wants to play soccer or something after eating as it is. The only way to bring her down was to stay indoors. A grin came to Jeremy's face as he looked towards the cafeteria. "I think we should eat in..." he trailed for a moment as his blue eyes followed a girl he never seen around the corner, "under the tree." He shook his head in some kind of confusion, forgetting that he was going to 'torture' his friend by remaining inside and instead opted for the usual spot. The boy looked to Natalie and back for a brief second to the corner the other girl went. His shoulders slumped in defeat as the hall began to crowd and swung the friend over his shoulder to make way outside.

In a quick moment the vampriess' fangs were bare, nearly piercing her own lips. Without allowing herself second thoughts nor wanting to give Danny the opportunity to stop her, her teeth sank into the unsuspecting mans' flesh. One gulp, two gulp, just a little taste right? What was she on now seven, she could almost feel herself losing to the demon side of her. Oh god it tastes so good... She broke free, nearly tearing the poor fools skin with the abrupt movement as she gasped for air. Her fiery red eyes gleamed towards her husband, no longer the dull auburn brown. Slowly her tongue glided across her lips as her fangs retracted to more of a look of long canines, waiting to see if her partner would take part.


"Do you know what they did to me, Lucio?" she questioned her husband, knowing that he didn't have a clue, the doctors (so many doctors) didn't even know. "I wish I knew fully or at least as to why but I only have a terrible feeling..." her voice cracked, she could feel herself wanting to cry, to have some emotion. "I know that I am to play a part but this," Genna pointed to her head, "something is in there I swear." She could only hope he'd take her word for it as usual, though they have already been through so many doubts. Her eyes searched his face for an answer. "What if I give up?" she muttered under her breath. "I don't want to give them what they want" she whispered, her eyes dropping to the ground, her silver hair falling over her shoulders as they slumped.

Willow nearly danced around the store, her acrobatic skills and slender form showing off in a near theatre like performance before she disappeared into one of the changing rooms. "how's this?" she asked slowly revealing herself from around the corner of the door. Before she could fully show herself off to the entire store an employee ran up to her, standing as almost a shield. "I don't know if you know what kind of store this is but there are children about that do not need to see this attire on you..." The employee almost scorned her before quickly wrapping a robe around the girl. "You didn't realize that this is lingerie? It's a fancy way to say underwear..." The employee looked over her shoulder to Marcus and shook her head before helping his friend into a pair of black skinny jeans and a red crop top to show him before going to choose more clothes for the confused ex-assassin. "Better?" she blushed heavily.

[camomatt]

Natalie grinned a bit at his comment and crossed her arms. "You just used it, so obviously it does!" She followed his gaze and turned toward the cafeteria, staring with confusion. Why would he want to eat in the loud, crowded messhall? Why not sit under the tree like usual? Then his attention turned toward someone and he gave the better answer. "Hey!" Natalie laughed when Jeremy had her slumped over his shoulder, "you've gotta eat, don't ya? Or are you hiding it from me?"

Lucio had returned with tacos and sat down to eat with Genna. It wasn't long during their meal that the question came up. Although he was sure she was asking rhetorically, he still wondered what kind of memory loss she may still be experiencing. "No," he spoke softly in response, biting the inside of his cheek as he thought about it. After all of these years, he still hadn't spoken with the council about any of this. It seemed like any time was a good time to speak with them, but what if that's what they wanted? If they were willing to take Genna away and do this to her, then what would they be willing to do if the two of them walked right up to their front door? "Genna, I... well," he tapped his fingers on his leg as he thought his words through, "we've seen the doctors. The specialists. Everyone. We will never know unless we go to, you know. Them. And that's just asking for trouble." Lucio got up and walked over behind her seat. The husband leaned over and rested his head on her shoulder and his hands over her stomach.

"But we never can seem to get away from trouble," he spoke softly, "trouble always ends up finding us." There was more he wanted to say, but it was obvious due to his pause that there was a lot on his mind while he said what came next. "If trouble always finds us anyway, maybe we should go looking for it. And put a rest to it."

Danny watched his lover dig into the man's jugular and draw blood. The scent of blood hit him like a train, physically knocking him back just a step. He hadn't smelled fresh blood in years, and the urge to go forward and drink from the victim was only halted by the demon in front of him that was having her fill. At least that gave him some time to think, or at least attempt to. 'Maybe one of us shouldn't,' he considered, swallowing the saliva that was building up just from the smell of the crimson flowing from the man's neck, 'but it's been too long... it hasn't been the same.' Danny bit his bottom lip as he struggled to concentrate until finally, Mia stepped away and bright, crimson eyes stared at his own pair of lackluster, dark red. The vampire looked at the slumped over man and considered, then looked at Mia. "..." his mouth was open, but he couldn't respond. The vampire's mouth shut before he shook his head no.

Marcus was glancing around idly, and almost cautiously. He enjoyed spending time with Willow, but he felt like around every corner, he could end up putting them both into some danger. After all, he was in trouble with the hunters. She was not. He heard her ask how she looked and upon turning to see, for just a moment, his eyes widened. He didn't disapprove, but for everyday wear? Not a chance. And the employee, fortunately, agreed and had found a more suitable arrangement for the assassin. "Yes, quite so," Marcus confirmed with a nod, smiling.

Jeremy looked back to the cafeteria and shook his head, no amount of food was worth going through that crowd. "I think you have more than enough in there," he gestured to her lunch. Which was a fair assumption the girl eats like an adolescent male football player. He silently chuckled at the thought of her in a helmet too big for her head before bending down slightly to slide her off his shoulder to the ground. "Her we are milady" he grinned, "the great tree of the courtyard. Does this please thee?"

Mia's eyes softened some when her husband shook his head. "I'm sorry," she nearly whispered. She got her fill and the thing she desired and yet he couldn't or wouldn't do the same. For the first time in lord knows how many years, the vampriess felt weak...ashamed... With a soft sigh she cleaned the mans wound, thanking him, and ensured it closed so he wouldn't bleed out before slowing going over to Danny. Without another word, she took his hand to begin to walk home, at a human pace. Internally she wanted to groan from the lack of speed, she had so much rejuvenated energy. "I love you," she murmured,leaning her head against his arm and closing her eyes from the sun and people passing by.

Genna looked down to Lucio's hands before trailing up them, leaning her head back to look at face. "I don't understand what you're saying," she half lied, she had a good idea but didn't want to put a wrong thought into his head. Her eyes went back down for a moment, "I ... I don't want to go back to the council," she stammered, considering they're the ones who have brought this on them.
"They were after something inside of me and were trying to create this like super soldier..." her voice faded as her hand went to her head. "Sorry," she breathed, looking up at him once more. Her hand moved from her head to his cheek, opposite of her own to bring him close and kissed him deeply.

"Is everything alright?" She asked noticing him look around. She didn't sense anything odd, only odd smelling people. She wondered if she should bring that up, but he probably smelled it too.
The employee returned with some more clothes and Willow quickly changed in and out of them, bringing out only the ones she liked, leaving the rest. Luckily, since she didn't do the shopping whatever she chose would be acceptable.
"So..." She grinned up to Marcus, "what now?"

[camomatt]

Natalie's cheeks tinted red with a bit of embarrassment, but she nodded anyway. She was willing to share with Jeremy. She'd love to. That was what friends are for, right? Grinning upon her release, she stood up and put her hand to her chin, as though thinking it through. "It will do. You have done well," she confirmed with a giggle, unable to hold the facade. She sat herself down and opened her lunchbox, commenting "I'm surprised my dad hasn't texted me yet... I hope I didn't jinx it!" A plastic wrapped sandwich was held out to her friend. There were, after all, two for this typically very hungry girl.

"You understand me." It wasn't quite like him to suggest going after anyone, vampire or not. But for this he would make an exception. Only if she agreed, of course. When she apologized once more, he asked "why are you sorry?" Rather than getting an answer, however, he got a kiss. Lucio rested his eyes and took in the fresh smell of shampoo and soap from her bath just less than half an hour ago. His hands remained rested on her stomach and he kept himself leaned forward as he briefly forgot about the problems of the world, including texting his daughter.

Guilt of his own prodded on Danny's mind. Maybe he should have said yes. This was a moment for them to relive their past, enjoy the chaotic nature of being vampires, enjoy the strength that came from drinking hot, fresh blood. But... he just couldn't. He thought about their son and his safety. Someone needed to stick to the less-desired packaged blood. He turned toward his wife when she expressed her love and responded with, "don't be sorry. Be yourself. I love you for who you are, not for what you do." Danny looked forward and squeezed her hand, staring at the sidewalk in front of them as they took step by step back toward their home. They could run. And he would, if she did, but he was enjoying this moment.

"Yes." A white lie: for the time being, everything was fine. Yet he wasn't sure when things could go poorly. Although he had his doubts about there being hunters in their presence, he never discounted the possibility of it. The vampire continued to watch as she left the changing room in various sets of clothes until finally, she was done. Smirking down at Willow, Marcus answered "well generally, paying is a good idea." Of course, he generally wouldn't do this himself, but he was in the company of a friend that he knew wouldn't approve of that. Once they reached the registers, he paid for the clothes and let his friend carry her bags of new clothes. "I'm not sure. We could wander around. Maybe see a movie."

[angelsfury666]

Jeremy couldn't help but chuckle when indeed two sandwiches were revealed. "Should I hold off and wait to see if you need it?" he poked, waving the sandwich in front of the girl. His eyes wandered for a moment back towards the cafeteria, as if something or someone was calling for him. "What do you think about ghosts?" he questioned, thinking about one of the books they're going to have to read. He took a bite of the sandwich before leaning back on his elbows looking up through the leaves of the tree. The boy was sometimes too philosophical for his own good. A near inaudible sigh was released as he pivoted his body more to face Natalie.

A light smile was given underneath the kiss. "Do you miss it?" she breathed, do you get bored with the normal day to day instead of the on your toes of being a hunter?" She wasn't sure what answer she really wanted, things were going well for them how it was. Healthy daughter and the knowledge that things were out there proved to keep her safe. Then again what if they had that ignorance. She shook her head slightly, there really wasn't a right answer.

Danny's response didn't necessarily make her feel one way or another. Him grasping her hand however helped calm her nerves some. Her eyes went to all the 'normal' couples strolling without a care in the world, honeymoon state of the relationship. The two of them looking not much older if not younger than those around them. Her eyes went back to her husband, catching a fleeting shadow figure. Her eyes narrowed briefly, debating on investigating. Get home to your boy she thought looking back forward.


[[sorry, I have been fighting a headache trying to turn migraine for like the last week or so, so my post is crappy :/ ]]

[will_assassin]

Willow made a face at him as it seemed like he was poking fun at her. "I know that we need to pay," she grimaced, which was usually out of character for her but the frown wasn't kept for long as she couldn't hold it together. Her lips made a raspberry sound as the frown deflated (inflated?) into a smirk, dancing towards the registers. The vampiress was wearing a black cocktail dress with red lace underneath to puff out the bottom portion, the top was pleated and with her light footwork it bounced the material in such a way to shuffle the colors seamlessly. She had taken off the tags of the outfit she was wearing, she liked it too much to return to her previous attire.
After paying, she listened for a moment of his suggestions on what they could do. "A movie?" she pondered as she hasn't seen very many in her lifetime. A finger lightly tapped on her lips as she mused. "Oh!" she gasped, her eyes lighting up with delight, "that means we could have popcorn!?!?" A bright smile beamed across her cheeks and she twisted her fingers around Marcus' hand pulling him away from the registers and towards the doors. Suddenly she came to an erupt stop and looked over her shoulder to him, with a sheepish grin. "Umm..." she bit her lip gently, "where's the movies?"

camomatt

Sorry work got crazy

[camomatt]

Natalie's eyes trailed the waving sandwich for just a moment before she retorted "I'll be fine. If I really need to, I have an emergency snack in my backpack. Just in case." A grin crossed her lips as she turned back to her meal and took a bite from the lunch. She didn't notice him turning to the cafeteria, but when he asked about ghosts, she seemed confused. After a moment of chewing and thinking, she looked at Jeremy and responded plainly "I don't think ghosts are real." With a raised eyebrow, the girl asked, "what about you?"

"No." Lucio left his answer at that, since he felt that the rest could be explained by his losses. He had gotten into this whole ordeal with three people he held dearly in his life. One of them died by Danny's hands, another had become a vampire and needed to die, and the last was a vampire that they were better off avoiding. Some days,
perhaps most, he wished none of this had happened. He lost a lot of valuable friends through this mess. And for what? He didn't know anymore. Why had they become vampire hunters?

"I do sometimes wonder, however, whether or not I should get back into it. For no reason more than Natalie's safety. I think about so many of the consequences that come from action, or from inaction. I worry about the council and what trick they might pull next with you, or me, or our daughter. These thoughts plague my mind daily. I just try to think realistically... as realistically as I can considering what has already happened to us." Lucio straightened up at this point and took a seat beside Genna.

"... I think I'll just have a taste." Danny stopped walking and, when Genna inevitably turned toward him, his lips met hers. A bit bold for the one who generally follows. He could smell and taste the blood. It wasn't as strong as it would have been coming straight from the source, but the sensation of kissing his lover and tasting the lifeforce of that man was wonderful. His hand remained holding hers, and his other reached for her free hand.

The joyous behavior of Willow was to be admired. How someone could be so excited in a world where they were an eternal being constantly sought after by a secret organization of hunters was impossible to understand. But she was his cure to these thoughts, and he had an immeasurable appreciation for her ability to look through that lens and find a better view on the world. Marcus was pulled away from the registers by the smaller woman's hand and he followed, grinning the entire way.

"Just a few blocks from here, just over that way." He glanced in the direction of the theater and suggested "let's think about what kind of movie on the way. What do you want to watch?" Having someone to spend this time with was something he missed.
If Willow weren't here, this vampire would be staying in his house, keeping to himself and leaving only to get a meal. Never would he have thought to leave and see a movie.
