Private Roleplay <33

⊰ ηαtαlια sykεs ⊱

Natalia busily scrubbed away the crumbs on the dishes while contemplating the situation and how she had what she wanted yet it didn't seem enough or worth much now. She had been hoping her brother would come back today and he had. Only he had brought with him a new household guest that might arouse more problems for what had already turned into an unsteady situation for everyone in the household. Worse, her brother still seemed peeved and despite what she had been hoping their heart felt apologies to each other had not happened yet. She didn't know why she was holding it off. Normally she would have just said sorry for her actions to get over whatever spat they had whether or not he decided to return the actions and then everything would be alright. This time, however, it would be nice if he did explain that he was sorry first. For once in their lives it would be just so extremely nice if he did that one kind and polite gesture. Nope. He simply set down his dish and walked out of the kitchen, not bothering to ask how the rest of the night had gone, to explain why he had stayed out in the woods and gotten himself caught by gypsies instead of coming back, and he hadn't even simply thanked her for the meal!

It took her a moment to realize how hard and how long she had been scrubbing the plate and it was only after the material gave a protesting screech as she scratched it with the rough scrub brush did she really become aware of the awful scratches against its surface. She dropped it into the soapy dish water as if it were a poisonous snake and reached to turn off the water. Her pale green eyes stared down at the result of her careless work and she frowned a little, only glad to know it was just one dish that she had ruined. The others were clean and safe, ready to be put away unlike this poor victim of her contained feelings that would now have to be thrown out. How unlike me... She dried off her damp hands on a dish rag and began to put the intact dishes back in the cabinet before moving to place the scraped one in the garbage can. She reprimanded her clumsy work and reminded herself not to get so distracted next time.

She heard the doorbell ring and then her name called from the entry room and made the assumption that Maria had arrived. " I'll be right there!" the young woman called, closing the cabinet doors and running over to the chair to grab the black peacoat she had chosen to use on the cold winter day. She pulled the garment on, shrugging it into a comfortable position and fastening the buttons with her quick and nimble fingers. Talia made her way out of the kitchen and into the room where Cameron was waiting next to the open door. She felt nervous about her first encounter with the woman she had been excited to meet and hoped to make a good impression as she stopped beside the vampire and looked to meet eyes with Maria. Her face seemed friendly, young but aged with more years of knowledge than herself, and motherly. She couldn't help but smile kindly as she said, " Hello, I'm Natalia. You must be, Maria? It's so wonderful to meet you at last and be able to thank you in person for the clothes. They were such a wonderful gift."

She looked to Cameron and then back to Maria. " So, uhm, I guess we should probably get to the marketplace, huh?" she suggested, before briefly turning back to the young man beside her. " Make sure Nathan doesn't get into anymore trouble, please? And do tell him where I'm off to." Talia said, smiling softly, before stepping outside beside the woman she was to go shopping with. It was chilly this morning but the cold only bothered her uncovered legs because the coat kept her upper body nice and warm. Now that she was outside the excitment of hanging out with another woman sounded much more appealing. Not as bothersome as spending time surrounded by men who as charming as they could be simply weren't as relatable.

◆【 Cameron Blackmar 】◆

Cameron watched as Natalia came to his side and introduced herself to Maria. Both woman seemed rather excited and he knew they would get along just fine. Also hopefully they would have a nice day out, without any men to bother them like usual. A smile graced the vampire's lips when Natalia told him to make sure Nathan didn't get into anymore trouble. "Don't worry, he'll be fine." He reassured her, though if she knew what he was planning she would most likely worry. But all of it was for her after all so he pushed his negative thoughts away. "And I will." He added, though the nymph was probably already aware that his sister was leaving. He waved the two woman off, wishing them a good trip, then shut the door.

Now that Natalia was gone, safely away from any vampires, Cameron could focus his attention on the other sibling. He wasn't quite sure what Nathaniel would think of his idea but he supposed he would soon find out since, like Zander, the nymph would very likely state his opinion about it aloud. The vampire returned to his room, finished buttoning up his shirt and slipped on a light jacket since the two would be outside. He had decided that in the forest that boarded the community where he lived would be best for his plans. That way it was harder to be disturbed. Plus he couldn't risk Nathaniel being near any humans. He didn't bother doing anything to his hair because no matter what it simply stayed in a shaggy, unorganized heap on the top of his head. He grabbed another jacket then shut the door behind him as he exited his room. When he passed the guest bedroom where Alex had taken over he said that they were leaving but on got a muffled reply in return. Letting his cousin be, he continued down the hall.

When the vampire entered the living room he wasn't surprised to find Nathan still seated on the couch sulking. "Even though I know you'd love to sit here and pout all day, you cannot. We have something to take care of. Come on." Cameron tossed the second jacket to the nymph before heading to the front door. Once the two young men were outside the vampire looked around. He knew the forest surrounding them well, it was just a matter of picking which clearing would be best for their...activity. After deciding on one a small frown claimed his lips. It would take them awhile to walk there and he wasn't in an extremely patient mood at the moment. A thought occured to him though he didn't think it would go over so well with Nathaniel. He turned to the other and said, "Where we're going is close but not close enough to walk without it taking quite some time. I, for one, do not wish to waste such time. So, I'm going to have to carry you."

[[Haha, yay for awkwardness! >D And sorry for the slight god-modding~]]

Gorgeous dark lavender eyes stared up at the ceiling with a simmering and repressed irritation within their depths as if the flat plane above him was anything to be angry at when in reality he was still merely upset that he hadn't gotten his way. It may have seemed childish to others but really it was nothing of the sort. His solution to their 'new vampire problem' had been mature and reasonable and yet no one else seemed intelligent enough or capable of comprehending that. Instead they decided to let the wolf disguised as a sheep into the pen with all the others. That was how these things always started though. The familiar wool coat, the smell, and the way it acted so much like the others made it look safe or like a friend. Then when they least expected it, late in the night when the farmer had gone to bed, the wolf would rid himself of his diguise and devour the entire flock. One by one till there was none left. These situations of bad choices always came back to bite the ones who made them and in this case it could be particularly bad for Natalia. His sister getting bitten, killed, or worse -turned into one of the monsters seemed a highly rational thing to be brooding about in the living room while laying down on the couch.

The young man closed his eyes and ran a hand over his face as he listened to the sounds of the house around him. Someone was in the guest room down the hall -most likely the most recent thorn in his side, Zander- getting settled in or something along those lines, Cameron and his sister and who he could only guess was Maria were all exchanging words at the door before it clicked shut once more signalling she had left to go somewhere, and then he listened to the barely audible footsteps of the vampire host of the year as he walked down the hall to his room. He briefly considered whether or not to be rampaging on about him having sent his sister away with a stranger but he decided against it since at least she was getting far away from the house which was getting more and more dangerous as more resident parasites took up a room. At least the b*****d had been kind enough to give him a few hours of peace at the most.

Maybe not. He had just been considering getting into a more comfortable position to perhaps enjoy a small nap when suddenly the footsteps had returned into the room and something had been thrown on top of him. He flinched, reluctantly opening his eyes to find a coat on top of him and he looked towards the leech in distaste at the action. He had just spent the majority of the night outside and part of it in a gypsy wagon, then he had to run hard and fast through the woods to lead a psycho vampire back here without getting killed, and yet for some reason he felt that Nathaniel might actually want to go on another walk through the snow? Through the cold air when he could instead sit inside where it was nice and warm? Still, the tone he was using and how briskly he moved out of the room showed to him that he meant business and that he may as well humor whatever it was he wanted. " a*****e..." he muttered under his breath, standing to his feet and shrugging the coat on before following the other young man outside.

Nathan stopped beside the other on the porch trying to seem only remotely interested in what was going on when actually he was kind of curious. The blonde-haired man was looking around at the surrounding forest as if calculating the direction he wanted to go and the nymph let him have at it. He simply stood beside the other while shuffling his feet to move his blood and keep warm. He wasn't really paying attention to anything the vampire said. The only words that truthfully stood out was the part that annoyed him the most, of course. He froze in his movements and sharply turned to face the other with a look of hostility in his eyes that was beginning to be a usual expression between the two of them. " Excuse me? Hah! I'm sorry but letting you carry me anywhere is on my newly developed 'Do Not Let Cameron Do' list. We're either walking at a snail's pace or you're going to have to ******** drag me wherever you want to go because don't think for one second that you'll ever get to carry me off somewhere with my consent." he stated venomously, but in a tone cool and reserved enough to freeze hell over with. So far, if the vampire was making any attempt at repairing the damage done last night, it definitely was not working.

Nathaniel's response didn't surprise Cameron in the least; to be honest he had actually been expecting it to be something along the lines of what the other had just said. Dealing with Zander was bad enough, the vampire didn't need Nathan to be difficult as well, though of course that was exactly what the nymph was. Difficult. "Such a pain..." He grumbled before meeting the handsome lavender eyes of the other young man. "Sorry, but you misunderstood. I said, 'So, I'm going to have to carry you.' I don't believe it was a question. Especially one regarding your opinion." The vampire knew he was being a pain himself, and also a bit harsh, well in Nathaniel's eyes anyways, but he wasn't about to walk just because he didn't want to be carried by him.

In a blink of an eye Cameron had Nathan in his arms, holding him bridal style because that was just easiest. The nymph was like an extremely light pillow in his arms, weighing hardly anything to the vampire. "I don't care if you don't like it but I am not walking. Once we get there you can b***h and moan all you want but please refrain from doing so while I'm running. I don't need any distractions. Also I suggest not flailing about unless you want to get your limbs crushed against a tree. Oh, and if you get queasy easily I would shut your eyes." The vampire felt like he was a captian giving directions to people flying on an airplane or something. He also knew it would be safer for Nathaniel to hold on to him while he was running as well, but of course there was no way the nymph was going to do that so he didn't bother wasting his breath by telling him.

And then they were off. Cameron forgot what it felt like to run like this because he rarely ever did. He hardly used his inhuman speed because there wasn't really a need to for he usually stayed cooped up in his house all the time. It felt wonderful and it actually brightened his mood slightly. Though one couldn't really register their surroundings the vampire knew exactly where he was going as he dodged one tree after the next. One had to be pretty cautious while in the forest because if you lost your footing you'd most likely barrel right into a tree. He had thought it might have been harder while carrying Nathaniel but it turned out he had been wrong.

In about twenty seconds or less they arrived, stopping suddenly in a decent sized, snow-covered clearing surrounded by trees. Cameron set Nathan on his feet and took a few steps back, giving the nymph some room to recover from the run. He was in a more patient mood now that they had gotten to their destination so he placed his hands behind his back and waited to see if the other young man had anything to say before the vampire explained why they were here.

[[Once again, sorry for the god-modding. If you want me to change it then feel free to tell me. Poor Nathan, getting pushed around like that. Teehee~ Oh, and I like the new post format xD]]

Throughout his nineteen years, Nathaniel Sykes had realized there were quite a few things he extremely disliked. Rules, people who proved to be better than him, his uncle, slavery, vampires, and probably one of the highest or perhaps at the top of his list of things to hate would be being told his opinion does not matter. At least, it would be there if irritating parasites like Zander and Cameron at this particular moment didn't find it so easy to make it to the top. As the vampire turned to face him with those sea green eyes that penetrated the depths of a person's soul seemingly as well as his own could he tried deciphering the hidden meaning behind his words but the realization came a few seconds late. Almost at the same instant that he opened his mouth to protest to it once more, he also took a reflexive step backwards, and because of this poor attempt the catch had almost been made too easy. One moment he had his feet planted on the ground and the next he was being held as if he were some newly wed in the arms of a groom. It was very disorienting the speed of it all.

Nathan didn't move and for a moment his mouth just hung open in surprise that the other had actually dared to do that. The shock of it left him stunned and at a loss for words but that quickly changed as his brain began putting things together again. The leech was holding him. Not only touching but holding in a way that could have been perceived by someone else as perhaps romantic in manner and that in itself for the slightest moment caused the young man to feel embarrassed by what anyone watching may have thought. Very much unlike him he felt his cheeks beginning to heat up so he quickly shoved back his humiliated feelings and brought up some anger that was boiling within him to yell, " Hey! I said-" His words were cut off however by how cooly the other spoke the directions as if he were an animal or something that didn't have a say in the matter of transportation. Which apparently he was. Yet again he had trouble thinking of a snide response and the trip started before he had the chance to say much more anyways. They were on the porch and then they weren't. With Cameron's speed it could be simply described as that.

Involuntarily he reacted to the sight of the trees coming up fast as they approached and the unnerving speed at which the ground moved as his carrier ran across it by holding onto the other. He of course tried to do so as lightly and with as little contact as possible but just trying to hang on made that difficult so he ended almost wrapping his arms around the other's neck; only luckily it basically stayed just an over the shoulder hold. This method of transport was highly demeaning. He could have walked! Why did they need to go somewhere this quickly anyways? The trip while unbearable for as long as it had lasted ended quickly, despite how it had dragged on to him.

They were in a snow-covered clearing that was surrounded by an almost perfect circle of pine trees. Nathaniel quickly let go of the vampire's shoulder blades and hoped the other hadn't noticed he had been holding them in the first place as he was finally let go. He stumbled at first on shaky legs before walking a few feet away to give himself space far away from his unwanted companion. It seemed more and more lately he was getting stuck with him while Natalia was off somewhere. He had listed off a whole load of insults he could have flung at the other on the way there but really none of them in all could sum up what he was feeling. He paced back and forth cursing under his breath while sideglancing at him now and then before finally stopping and approaching the other with a glare sharper than a thousand daggers. " You had better have one hell of a reason for carrying me all the way out here so ridiculously, Cameron! A damn good reason! If you can, try keeping your hands off me, hmm? Never do that again." he stated, before turning away from him again.

His father. His father's father and so forth. Not only had he brought shame to their family name but what kind of pride had been regained while being carried like a weakling? None. That was what really happened to be bothering him. The fact he was still trying to get over how he had...felt towards the bloodsucker last night was not being made easier with all of this contact and it would have been helpful if he could just forget it! Nathan took a deep breath before turning around while still keeping a good distance between the two of them and muttered, " Okay. I'm listening. Explain."

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(ooc;; How very demeaning for my poor little nymph, you went and embarrassed him! haha, it was fantastic. keep up the good work! I have no problem with necessary god-moding as long as it stays necessary. Oh, and why thank you. It's sexy isn't it? ;D /ooc)

[x-Rollin-x]

◆【 Cameron Blackmar 】◆

A smirk tugged at Cameron's lips as he watched Nathaniel pace back and forth, cursing quietly and occasionally throwing a glare his way. While waiting for the nymph to actually speak, he glanced around at their surroundings as he rocked back and forth lightly on his heels. Finally the other approached him and blurted out what had been on his mind. "Come now, Nathaniel. I don't believe it had been that ridiculous. Would you rather me have swung you across my shoulder like a sack of potatoes? I don't think so." On second thought maybe the nymph would rather have had him done that. Not that it mattered anymore. "And yes, I'll try so very hard to keep my hands off of you because that's the whole reason why I wanted to carry you." He added, his tone laced with heavy sarcasm. He could have retorted with something worse, since Nathan's actions of holding onto him had not gone unnoticed, but he refrained from doing so.

"For your information, I have a very good reason as to why I brought you out here. It's rather simple really. That reason is to protect Natalia." He began. Before Nathaniel could say anything he continued, "Alexander is now staying with us and even though he won't touch Natalia while I'm around he has always been unpredictable and I wouldn't put it past him to still try something to her. Plus I won't always be around to be watching his every move. And so I've been thinking of letting you have a bit more freedom, that is removing your necklace more often then I had been planning to. As you know, there are not that many things that are capable of out-doing a vampire, except well, another vampire. You, being a nymph, have the capability of becoming a vampire at will."

"Obviously your feelings towards vampires are not the best, and actually turning into one I bet isn't on your favorite things to do list. But I would like it if you were to practice becoming one. You will not be as fast or as strong as a pureblood vampire but with some training you can definitely be a large nuisance if need be. Overall you would be able to protect Natalia much better then what you're currently capable of. You may not like this idea in the slightest but because this has to do with protecting your sister I'm hoping you are willing to at least try." Cameron knew he was taking a large risk by letting Nathaniel have so much freedom and the nymph hopefully knew that as well. This was quite a generous offer. "If you agree to this there is one thing. I'm going to have to trust you. Can I do that?"

[[Haha, it was nothing. *bows* xD And yes, extremely sexy ;] *huggles Nathan* <33]]

Nathaniel rolled his eyes and made a light sound of annoyance towards the other's words. " No, of course not, I would rather you had not carried me at all. It's not a matter of how you carried me here, it's the action itself. Either way I would have been pissed off at you." he said, turning away from the other and not bothering to give a remark to the other comment made. Truthfully, if the vampire wasn't going to be as bothered as he was by that particular conversation topic than he was just going to avoid bringing it up. He needed to find out exactly what would unnerve him. Unlike other people, his weakspot, the button to press that would finally make him snap, was proving to be very difficult to locate. It was amazing how calmly and collectedly he could handle conversations with him despite the tactics he tried to tick him off. Perhaps leeches were truly emotionless like some legends had said.

The nymph took a sideways glance at his companion but kept his back to him as the matter at hand was brought up since he didn't want to show any signs of interest or disinterest. Although, his interest was high seeing as that he had gone through the trouble of bringing him all the way out here to talk of his sister he did not want that showing. It'd make him seem eager and he was hoping to prove that he could be just as reserved and emotionally detached as the other. Nathan did not plan on interrupting and let his continue with his explanation of a plan to make his fragile, vulnerable, human sibling safer. " Good, you do have some sense then." he murmured quietly as the parasite brought up his suspicions towards the new house guest despite what he may have promised. At least he didn't expect some kind of miraculous change over night and was still distrusting. The promise of more freedom was improving his sour mood and he couldn't help smile lightly at the thought of getting rid of the necklace. Even more so because it'd help him protect Natalia. All in all the plan sounded good. Maybe it was enough to help him forgive him for rudely whisking him away into the woods. However, then the rest of plan came into play.

The young man's smile disappeared and his lips instead formed an upset frown at the idea. Transform into a vampire? " You're right, it's not." he whispered, sighing lightly before moving to face him. It made sense that to overcome a vampire he would have to become one but it didn't sound very stable. In fact, if anything, it could prove to be risky. " Not for the reasons you probably think I have in mind, though. If it was to help Natalia then I would be able to push aside the fact that I'm not very fond of your kind, transform, and even behave if you were to put that kind of trust in me. Your idea is very tempting but surely you can see the danger in it as well, right? Shifting into a vampiric form means I would have the exact same symptoms that makes me want to keep her away from the both of you. A craving for blood and a weakness for human blood. With my inexperience in the form it would be hard. I can't imagine accidentally endangering her by becoming what I wish to protect her from, Cameron. Please, understand that." Nathaniel explained, trying to make his point. He turned away and walked a few more steps towards the center of the clearing before stopping. He took in a deep breath before quickly shoving out the words, " Alright, I will try. I will...try to behave, so you can trust in my honest and sincere attempt. I am going to need time though and help in mastering it if the form is to be of use during Zander's stay. Will you be willing to do that?"

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

(ooc;; Haha, Nathan will say anything to get out of the collar for awhile. So watch out even though he says he will behave. If he gets pissed enough he may change his mind. C: /ooc)

[x-Rollin-x]

◆【 Cameron Blackmar 】◆

Cameron patiently listened as Nathaniel responded to his idea. It seemed as if he was warming up to the idea but that was before suggesting him transform into a vampire. His expression was enough to tell the vampire that he didn't like that part of the plan at all. Not that he was expecting him to, of course. "You are right, Nathaniel. Having you transform into a vampire when near Natalia is indeed extremely risky, but that is why I have no intention of letting you do so until I believe you can handle it. So the answer to your question is yes, I shall be helping you to master the form of a vampire. Thus, one of the reasons why I brought you out here." He lifted up his hands, indicating the clearing they were standing in. No one would, or should, be out in these woods so he thought it would be a fairly decent place to practice with the nymph.

"As for the whole blood situation I do have a theory. Of course I have no idea if it is true or not, obviously since it's a theory, but it seems rather logical to me. When you first transform into a vampire I am almost positive you'll have a bloodthirst that will be very high on the charts, which I believe you agree with. But my theory is the more you transform into a vampire, the more your bloodthirst will decrease because once you are familiar with being a vampire the more control you will have over yourself. As you stated, you controlling this form will take time and in that time hopefully we shall see if my theory happens to be true or not. If it is it can benefit us because then you wouldn't have to worry as much if you were needed to transform in front of Natalia."

Cameron believed this theory to be pretty reasonable, though if it didn't turn out the way he thought it would then they would definitely have some difficulties. But hopefully that wasn't the case. "There is one more thing before you begin practicing, however. As I just mentioned, your thirst for blood will be great but I will not allow you to drink from a human nor do I think you want to. Also the donated blood I have stored away will not satisfy you. The only thing that will is fresh blood. Because of this, I am willing to offer you my own blood if, or until, you manage to control your blood thirst." The vampire knew this would not tempt Nathan anymore towards transforming into a vampire but it was what he was going to have to deal with for now. To be honest for a vampire to let another of their kind to drink from them was a rather big deal. Rarely did vampires ever feed from one another for though they fed from other beings their own blood was precious to them. It has even been rumored that vampire blood has granted humans special powers if they drink it. Since Nathaniel would be a vampire while feeding from him, he didn't believe it would have any effects on the nymph. Cameron has never had another feed from him so the experiance would be new to both young men.

[[Haha, I figured as much xD]]

xηaтhaηιεɭ sykεsxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

The thought of that made a kind of sick feeling take a hold of his stomach. Nathan knew that it was natural to vampires and if you were born one than drinking blood to survive was just a part of a normal lifestyle but despite what he tried the thought sickened him. When he shifted into another form he automatically received whatever came with that form. If he made himself an exact replica of someone who smoked or had cancer than he in turn would either have really bad lungs or also inherit the cancer unless over time he could override that effect and edit it to his well-being. That was what happened when he changed into someone specific but when generics came into the picture than generally he would be safe with only the symptoms or quirks particular to the being he transformed into. Once he'd transformed into one of the many elven races and not only was granted more agility but also a greater empathy with the natural world around him. A necromancer, he began to see souls and dead spirits. At one point he had transformed into a werewolf and the silver ring he had been wearing prior to shifting suddenly burned his finger.

If he transformed into a vampire, the craving, the lust for blood would be as vicious to him as it would be anyone else who had recently been turned. His heart would be just as dead for that time being and his blood just as cold. The form would certainly be a new challenging experience. He had experienced quite a few interesting talents while in other forms but it was just mind-boggling what would come of this one. Incredible speed and strength, enhanced senses, the feeling of not having a pulse and not having to breathe or anything really would be unfamiliar, and just the immense power was tempting to try out but the thirst was what scared him. Undeniable and unquenchable hunger that many vampires struggled with by only managing to calm it for awhile, never being fully satisified. Having to drink blood, the thick red liquid of another being going down his throat, it sounded revolting to him, and if Nathaniel didn't have such a strong stomach just the thought may have caused him to throw up his late breakfast. The risks and benefits were certainly on a rather shaky scale.

Still, it wouldn't be for me, it would be for Talia and that's all that matters. I...I'll have to try for her despite the fact she probably wouldn't be any happier to hear about me agreeing to this. The young man merely nodded his head in silent and hopeful agreement that with practice perhaps the craving would fade away and he could function fully as a vampire without the need of their fuel. He figured that was it then. He accepted the idea to at least try and that was that. It was settled. They would practice in the field before going anywhere else just to be safe. Thinking the conversation was done and the deal made he began moving back towards the leech so that they could just remove the necklace and get the first transformation over with. The new ones always took a lot of energy out of him and sometimes as his body shifted to the changes necessary for the form it could cause a lot pain as well so it was something that he preferred to do quickly and without delay. As he came to a stop in front of the other he frowned a bit at hearing there was one more thing to talk over. What more could there be?

Nathaniel listened as politely as he could but slowly as the explanation went on he began to feel a bit disgusted about this new conversation topic. " Drink your blood?" his words came out sounding rather rushed and deflated, he had to cough because of the sudden dryness in his throat that made talking difficult. " Cameron, I don't like the plan about drinking from you at all. Is that really necessary? I mean I appreciate the offer and all but that would discomfort me as much as drinking from a human. Just the very subject of drinking blood in general is making this seem more unpleasant than it should have to be. Can't I avoid that part of the vampire ordeal entirely? I mean, you have more experience, if I start heading towardany nearby humans than you could easily just put the necklace back on me before I hurt anyone, right? I just don't...like the idea. Would I have to drink or could I just torture that part of the form and by depriving it make it neutral. Could that work or no? Ah, damn it.." he muttered, running a hand through his hair to push it back in an overwhelmed manner as he took a break from rambling. There had to be someway of avoiding people as a food source which, though he wouldn't say this to his face, counted vampires. Lavender eyes scanned the snow-covered ground for a minute as if the answer was there before flicking back up to lock with the sea green ones before whispering, " What about animals? Would that satisy it?"

He was pulling at straws, hoping for a loop hole or something so he wouldn't have to do this. Fight the vampire, sure. That was fair. Draining his blood while he just stood there and allowed it? Unacceptable, not sportsman like, there was no challenge, and it would just upset his stomach.Wouldn't it? Perhaps his ethics on the matter would entirely change with the thirst influencing him. He wouldn't feel as bad about feeding another. He probably wouldn't be aware of anything but the feeding. That scared him now too. Having that solitary fact control everything about the form instead of himself being in charge. It was worrisome.

xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx

( ooc;; awwwww, look! Nathaniel doesn't want to drink from Cameron if he doesn't have to! isn't that sweet of him, completely unpredicted, eh? did you figure this as well or have I at last made him surprise you, muahahaha. too bad at the moment the whole 'not drinking' thing is entirely for selfish reasons to benefit himself and not because he cares about not hurting, Cammy. He's such a self-center baddy, everyone can't help but fall for him. ;D /ooc)

◆【 Cameron Blackmar 】◆

Cameron wasn't surprised in the least when straight away Nathaniel began trying to weasel his way out of having to drink blood at all. He understood though. He himself has been raised to drink blood where as Nathan, who is not a vampire or has never tried transforming into one, would definitely hesitate on the topic. To anyone besides vampires and other blood-sucking beings drinking the blood of others, or any blood at all, was viewed as a disgusting and grotesque thing. To vampires it was as natural as eating a pizza but of course in the eyes of others eating a pizza and sucking the blood out of someone for food was entirely different.

The vampire's expression changed to one of slight pity as he stared back at the nymph. He knew that this was becoming a bit more complicated by the minute but still, at least Nathaniel was going to try it out. "I'm sorry Nathaniel but as I just stated, once you transform I am most certain that your bloodthirst will be extremely high. Ignoring it may very well be impossible so I do not believe that is what you should do. If you did you might only cause this experiance to be more painful and troublesome than it is already going to be. And you're right, I could always place the necklace back on you but if I have to do so right away that won't exactly help us."

At the nymph's whispered suggestion of animal blood Cameron looked thoughtfully towards the sky, one of his hands lifting up to gentle stroke at his chin in thought. After a few moments a frown formed across his lips. "Animal blood is an option, though to be quite honest it isn't a very good one. I've known vampires who have tried that way of living. Though it will indeed keep you alive that is about the only thing it will do. Drinking it does not have the same effects as drinking a humans, or other races, blood. You could say it doesn't have the...zest, if you will, that allows us to go for long amounts of time and still be strong. In other words it keeps you alive but also keeps you weak. Thus since our goal is for you to become stronger I really don't believe drinking animal blood will help." The vampire spoke only the truth. He wasn't trying to sway Nathan's mind or anything of the sort. What he had stated were simply facts.

"But of course, it is up to you. Or at least until you transform anyways. Once you do I suppose we'll find out what you want." Cameron added as he reached his arm out toward the nymph and gently slipped the necklace from around his neck before placing it in his pocket. "Though if you do happen to go after my blood I'll try to make it a bit challenging. You being, well you, I know you won't want me to just stand here like a zombie. That wouldn't be any fun, now would it?" A smirk tugged at the vampire's lips as he stepped back to give the nymph some room.

[[Haha, to be honest I was actually expecting him to decline. So sorry but no, you didn't surprise me. Teehee~ I'm not giving up though! It is my duty to make things as awkward and uncomfortable as possible >D And yeah, thank goodness Zander doesn't like men. Haha, then Nathan would really be in trouble ;D]]

Nathaniel frowned as the situation just got worse when his escape routes were blocked off by the strict and unwelcomely cruel facts. He had figured avoiding blood in general would not be an option and had only mentioned it because of his current distaste at the idea of draining the warm, copper-tasting liquid from another living being's veins. His stomach turned at the thought of the taste of it in his mouth. Even worse, the alternative food option had too much of downside for him to try it. For all the years he had been lucky enough to have his power he never used valuable time and effort on a form only to find that it would be too weak to be valuable. If animal blood would only keep the vampire form of him functioning while making him weaker than it simply wasn't an option that would benefit the point of this plan in the first place. " Why is it that there are always no other options when the one you currently have is the one you're the least fond of.." he muttered irritably to himself while silently resigning himself to the fate of what was to come. The weight of the necklace charm on his powers was lifted as it was removed from around his neck. He clenched his fists and moved his legs feeling his powers slowly return to his limbs. He could run. Escape this entirely but that wasn't what he had promised to try. This was a challenge he would take. As the other finished talking he couldn't help but glare towards him before grumbling, " Excuse me, could you at least try to sound a little bit upset about the fact that I might try to attack and or feed from you while in this new form? I can't believe you're smirking about it."

Taking a few careful steps away to give himself some more space and to keep farther away from his potential yet hopefully unnecessary food supply he stopped and calmly, deeply breathed in the cool air that burned his lungs. The young man closed his eyes to blot out the light made even brighter by the snow and began to concentrate on shifting into this new form to make sure he didn't become a mutation by mistake. Nice and slow, no rushing. No rushing...most painful steps first to get them out of the way. He sharply inhaled, wincing lightly in pain as he began to change his bone structure to match that of the vampires he had seen and fought with. Hardening them. Reinforcing them into the stronger than diamond qualities that were contained by the immortal beings. He focused on everything he had been taught about them. His bones ached and so did his upper jaw as his canine teeth gained the ability to lengthen and hide themselves but so far this step proved not to be the worst. With that complete he moved onto the rest. He choked off his breathing and disgarded the use of his lungs and air. It hurt immensely and he felt himself kneel to the ground while still panting hard despite the fact it was no longer needed. Next his heart. He slowed the pulse before dramatically stopping it and he let himself yell out in pain at the shock of it, shaking, before letting it numb out. The rest he put himself on a simple check list. He just focused hard on the image of a vampire in its mind and skills and felt himself shift as his power did the rest of the work for him. It wore him out but he could feel what was happening to him and then it was all done. He had turned.

The silence of his body scared him since he now knew what it was like to be conscious of one's self being dead. No longer living. No loud heartbeat, pulse, or breathing. Just a kind of calm. Nathan opened his eyes and had to close them yet again, hissing at the surprise he had received before slowly opening them to try again. Everything was now touched with a clarity even his own advanced race had not known. The snow was whiter and he could pick out even the faintest hues as distinct and different browns on some of the trees around the clearing. He could hear the sound of things moving so far away and yet they sounded so extremely close that he couldn't help but turn to face the noise of some of them. The nymph was in awe at just how much this form had inhanced his senses to a higher degree. He clenched his fists, loving the raw power he could feel within them and he smiled at it not even noticing the uncomfortable length of his canine teeth. Standing to his feet in time that couldn't be measured by eyes other than his own he ran, no, he practically flew across the clearing before running back and his musical laugh broke the silence of the woods. It was amazing. Then something else caught his attention. A scent. A very, very good scent. He inhaled deeply and felt his stomach ache with a hunger he had never known and he couldn't help but cry out lightly.

His hands clutched at his stomach and he could have sworn it was almost as though something was clawing at his insides trying to get out. It tore at him. Burned him. It made him fall to his knees into the cold snow that no longer bothered him. He couldn't feel anything but the emptiness that demanded to be satisfied. The nymph writhed on the ground and grit his teeth to hold back anymore of his pained sounds and that was when the sharpness of his teeth brought him back to memory of what Cameron had told him. His indigo eyes widened at the understatement he had made when he thought it would be just like any other hunger he had felt in the past. No. This hunger was killing him and yet it was for something he didn't even want. The scent was carried toward him on the breeze and he growled slamming his fist hard against the ground, sending slight tremors through it as the beast-like hunger within him roared for the food supply to be taken. Nathaniel turned slightly and could pinpoint the owner of the delicious smell easily. Cameron. He groaned and turned away, holding himself down only because of his will and sheer determination to try and not drink despite the agony it caused. His hands dug into the snow and through the frozen ground to hold himself down while he just whispered over and over again, " No, no, no, no, no."

The nymph didn't want to drink from anyone of his own accord. He would hold himself there even if it killed him but if he could he just simply was not going to let this animalistic instinct control him. Not if he could help it anyway.

((ooc;; Ah darn, oh well, one of these days he'll catch Cammy off-guard. That will be the moment to pounce! ;D It's a very good thing indeed. Not only would he have two vampires all over him and coveting him but he would have them fighting each other for his attention and THAT would have been interesting and amusing to watch. Haha, both vampires trying to turn him on and charm him more. xD /ooc))

Even though Cameron gave Nathaniel his space, he still watched him closely after removing the necklace. The nymph could easily make a run for it, though he didn't think it would take that long to catch him, so the vampire remained cautious. But as soon as Nathan blurted out one of his usual stubborn retorts he relaxed slightly. To be quite honest he didn't know why he would be upset about having the other attack or feed from him. This was what had to be done in order for their plan to work, was it not? There was no use being bothered by it, especially when the nymph already was. Besides, it's not like he would allow him to do any real damage anyways. He was confident he would be able to stop the other young man if things got too carried away.

Cameron's sea green eyes shined with curiosity as they lingered on Nathaniel once he began to transform. He couldn't really see exactly what was happening since the change was more of an internal one rather than external. The only really noticable thing that could be seen was the nymph's canines had lengthened. The vampire couldn't help but wince slightly when Nathan fell down to his knees in pain. He guessed his body was beginning to shut down. After that even more crys of agony escaped form the other's mouth. Cameron concluded that he didn't like watching Nathaniel being in pain, though deep down his vampire instincts were slightly excited about seeing the other young man so helpless. Then it was suddenly all over.

The vampire watched as Nathan got used to his new and improved senses. He was slightly worried when the nymph disappeared for a moment, obviously testing his speed as well, but was relieved when he appeared back only moments after. The other's laughter surprised Cameron at first, for he didn't believe he had ever heard him laugh before. A small smile appeared on his face at the sound. But then things started to go down hill. A look of distraction spread across Nathaniel's face and he had a feeling that the scent of blood had finally gotten it's way through to the nymph. The other cried out lighty and his hands went to his stomach just before he once again fell to his knees. The vampire observed as the other thrashed about on the ground and slammed his fist into the snow. Then Nathan turned towards him only to groan and look away, afterwards beginning to mumble 'no' continuously. He silently wondered if the nymph realized that his beautiful lavendar eyes had turned to a glowing crimson red.

Cameron walked towards Nathaniel, though still remained about two feet away. He looked down at him and let out a soft sigh. "Come on now, Nathan. How are we supposed to practice if you're simply squirming about on the ground like a newborn?" He muttered. Then an idea struck him. "I hate to do this but I refuse to let you lay there forever in such a pitful fashion." He brought his finger up to the side of his neck and ran his fingernail along his skin. Once he removed his finger there was a line about two inches long where blood began to seep out, slowing dripping down his neck. He spattered a few drops on the ground near the nymph before licking the rest off his finger. Then he vanished, only to reappear on the other side of the clearing. He was hoping the stronger scent of blood would get Nathaniel's attention and then he would hopefully begin to move about instead of just lying there. It wasn't exactly organized practice but it was the best Cameron could do for now until Nathan fed. Besides, he had said he would make it a bit challenging. "You know you want it, Nathaniel." He whispered seductively, knowing with his newly heightened senses the other could hear him. "So come get it."

[[Haha xD That would indeed be very amusing. But then it would leave Natalia alone and we couldn't have that, now could we? ;D Man, with that last part I feel so evil torturing poor little Nathan T.T Hehe~]]

This was a pathetic way to act and he knew it would just be so much easier to let go of himself and get over the thing he wanted to do the least at this very moment. It only made things when the vampire came closer and spoke to him in a fashion that wasn't very consoling and it didn't sound like he was going to help the matter at all. He didn't. He only made it much, much, much more horrible. His heightened hearing caught the sound of the other's skin being scraped open and then the scent rolled over him stronger than before in a way that was taunting him and mocking his attempt at resistance. The hunger in his stomach clawed fiercely and the animal he now was demanded that he take advantage of this being handed over to him. It was so delicious, so mouthwatering and yet it disgusted him that he could be so famished over the substance. That b*****d...! The other had ran across the clearing but he could still hear his alluring voice with beautiful clarity and he knew he wasn't going to be able to hold himself back any longer. These new instincts and their lusts were so much stronger then his humane need to not drink. The invitation, the challenge, and the trap had been set. The beast he had let himself willingly become had to meet it.

Nathaniel remained motionless where he had lain on the ground for a moment longer. His muscles relaxing in manner that looked like unconsciousness or perhaps as though he had truly died. However in a movement that was too quick to be seen he was suddenly up and in that one fluid movement he found himself running towards the figure only a short distance away. Well, short considering the new found power in his legs that covered the distance in a matter of seconds and before he even knew it he was barreling into the person who had brought him here, bringing them both to the ground. Never had he thought he was going to be able to do that but he was a vampire now with enough power to be balanced in a fair fight and he supposed that perhaps he had taken him off guard with how quickly he accepted to 'come and get it'. The fact that the vampire might be going easy on him since he wanted him to feed in the first place did not cross his mind at all. He couldn't concentrate on reasoning at the moment. All he could focus on was the body he was now pinning beneath him in a similiar way to how he had been held down last night. He kept Cameron's arms pinned above his head, a firm grip on his wrists, and his knees were on either side of the other's thighs. His prey was secured down unless it planned on fighting back. He growled low in his throat and his crimson eyes that were currently filled with a hunger met with the beautiful sea green ones of his victim for a moment before looking down at his neck. The target.

The nymph leaned down towards the cut in his throat and purred softly at the lovely scent of the blood still slightly seeping from there. He ran his tongue across it and shivered at the taste. It was no longer unsatisfying to him but more like a delicacy he did not know why he had been avoiding. The hunger, the monstrous hunger and the fact he smelled so sensational made it so much easier to give in. Which he did. Without much hesitation he placed his mouth over the wound and sucked at it for a moment longer before withdrawing to bite down in order to help the blood flow. As he bit into the veins their the ambrosia flooded his mouth and he just drank, draining the substance in attempts to relinquish the emptiness inside him. He let his eyes close in just sheer bliss as the pain disappeared with the hunger and was filled with this sweetness. Soon enough he was already full but he wasn't stopping. It was addictive and he continued to drink even though his hunger had been satisfied. This went on for awhile before he finally began to come to senses and out of his uncontained state controlled only by his instincts and began to realize what he had done.

Immediately he withdrew, letting go of the fierce hold he had had on the other and in a moment he was on his feet and halfway across the clearing with his back to the other not wanting to even look at him. Nathan was upset that he hadn't been strong enough to resist. Disgusted with himself for loving every second of giving in and being weak. The fact that he was still licking his lips from the taste and knew that if given the chance he would take more made him loathe this new dark side of him. It had been so easy. He could only imagine what damage he could have done if the other had been a human. He opened his mouth to apologize but stopped realizing that the other would probably only mock him for doing so since this was what he had wanted. He ran a hand over his face in a tired manner before murmuring only loud enough for the other to hear, " Happy now, Cameron? I gave in." He sighed before turning back to face the other vampire. " I'm not sure if this was made clear or not at the beginning of this bargain but please...don't tell Natalia about any of this. She wouldn't approve. She hates it when I try new transformations like this and I'd rather her not know about this new shift at all." he stated, the crimson in his eyes fading back to the lovely indigo shade they were when the hunger wasn't there.

◆【 Cameron Blackmar 】◆

At first it appeared as if Cameron's little plan hadn't worked for the nymph remained motionless on the snowy ground. He thought this was rather odd and began pondering on a new idea to get Nathaniel up and about when suddenly the other disappeared. Right away the conclusion that Nathan had run popped into the vampire's mind. It would be just like him; running away rather then having to drink blood. But before he could think much on the subject something fast unexpectedly rammed into him from the side. He fell hard on to the snow-covered ground, the wind knocked out of him. His eyes widened slightly when he saw his attacker was none other then Nathaniel. He knew he shouldn't have really been surprised but he was all the same. He had been so sure that the other had made a break for it. Though obviously he had been wrong.

The vampire then realized that Nathan was not only on top of him but also pinning him down in a very similiar fashion to how Cameron himself had pinned Nathaniel down just last night. The nymph's knees resting on either side of his thighs and his, now stronger, grip holding his wrists above his head. He became aware of what a compromising position this happened to be. He had been debating about throwing Nathan off of him so that it would be a bit more challenging but decided against it so that the other could just feed and get it over with. At the sound of a low growl, Cameron glanced up to meet the eyes of Nathaniel that were filled with so much hunger. Letting out a soft sigh, the vampire turned his head slightly so that the nymph would have better axcess to his neck.

When Nathan leaned down and began to purr Cameron couldn't help but smile slightly. The sound was so unlike the nymph, though he thought it was rathering soothing. As the other's tongue ran across his skin a small gasp escaped the vampire's throat. Was this what it had been like for Nathan last night? Even though he wasn't used to being the victim in this case he didn't really mind that Nathaniel was all over him. To be honest he thought it was...nice. Though of course he would never tell the other that. The nymph sucked at his wound for a few moments before finally sinking his fangs into his flesh. It didn't hurt as it surely would have if he had been a human. It was just two little pricks and then the motion of Nathan's lips moving against his skin as he withdrew blood. This went on for awhile. When Cameron was sure that the nymph should be full but he continued anyways he was thinking of forcing the other off of him when finally Nathaniel slid his fangs from his neck and got up off of the vampire.

Cameron slowly got to his feet and once he did he began brushing snow off of himself while listening as the nymph spoke. "Actually I am. See? That wasn't so bad." He looked up and listened to the rest of what Nathan said. "Don't worry, I wasn't planning on telling her anyways. As long as Zander doesn't try anything while I'm not around hopefully she'll never have to know that you can transform into a vampire at all." Like Nathaniel, he didn't think Natalia would take the news too well. The vampire's hand went to the side of his neck and he could feel blood smeared from where it had still been flowing out from the two neat little holes the nymph had made. He looked down to see that blood was also smudged across the top part of his chest where the thick liquid had dripped down. "Geez, the least you could have done was clean me up a bit." He muttered, though there was a teasing hint to his tone. Cameron wiped his hand on his pant leg before looking back up at Nathaniel. "Well if you're up for it I'd like to try something before we call it a day."

The way the vampire could simply stand up and just brush himself off as though absolutely nothing had happened irritated him to no end. The least he could have done was at least seem a little bit upset and yet he only scolded him teasingly for not finishing up the job by cleaning up the mess he had made. " Oh, give me a break. That was my first time after all. Don't tell me you didn't expect a mess." Nathaniel snapped, growling slightly in frustration. He ignored how part of what he had said sounded so as not to be embarrassed in any way by his own poor choice of words. It had pissed him off what the other had said. As though he would have wanted to have to take in much more blood while actually aware of what he was doing even if it meant things would have turned out neater; Maria was probably used to blood stains on the guy's clothing anyway so it wasn't like it mattered. Unfortunately, he was left to ponder that silently, because more and more this form of him seemed to feel more at ease about drinking blood now that he had had a taste for it. If it weren't for the fact he was now full and perhaps would be for awhile he might have very well tackled him to the ground again to get more of the delicious liquid. He had more sense then to do that though. Although the temptation was still there he could keep himself in check now that he had been fed and it was much easier to function as well without the painful hunger crippling him. Lavendar eyes glanced at the blood stains smeared across his skin before refocusing back on the other's face to not let him know they had wandered.

He stared right back at the sea green eyes that faced him as well and let out a small sigh before whispering, " Thank you, I do appreciate the secrecy." The nymph could only think of what his sister would do or say if she knew what they had been up to while she was out shopping and he knew they would have to avoid suspicious behavior. With her gift she could easily scroll through his memories and see what he had agreed to let himself become but if he didn't give her a reason to think there was something to see than perhaps everything would be okay. The idea of her never having to know was the one he fancied the most. Seeing as she hated what his power could do to him as much as he hated what her curse tormented her with. The memory of the first time she had seen him do a transformation as painful as this one had been had ruined some of her admiration for what he could do.

It had been just like any of his other birthday parties. Friends and family alike were all there to celebrate him turning sixteen. It had been a wonderful day of festivities. Natalia had been well enough to attend and she and some of the other girls sat at tea tables in the bright afternoon sunlight while engaging in conversation with each other and their mothers just as was fitting for them. His sister kept on longingly looking in the direction of where he and his own friends played sportingly as though she wished she could be doing something like that or at least something a bit more interesting than listening to gossip. He couldn't sympathize much while hanging out with his friends however. He was having too much fun. Matthias, his best friend, and Nathan were engaged in a fight that the others were betting on. It wasn't actually a fight but more of a game and a challenge of strength. They always loved to combat and mess with each other. Taunting each other with insults that were more comedic than serious. Things as trivial as ' The girls over there think you're too pretty to be tough!' would be met with ' Then I can prove them wrong by kicking your a** now, can't I?' and so many other things. However, as midnight rolled around a very special guest arrived to give him his blessing. The oldest male member of the Sykes family.

He was there to perform the ceremony that would open Nathan up to the greater extent of his powers. At that time his transformations had been somewhat limited to simply changing certain features about himself or simple animal shifts but after that night they were free to grow without boundaries and to be tested. It was quite painful though. He had to perform whatever transformation requested of him despite what it took and if he survived he was then granted the blessing. The old man rolled a strange dice that was used specifically for this family tradition and it had landed on the black panther. The pain of changing his entire skeletal structure caused his screams to echo through the night as his skin peeled away to make room for the black pelt. There was nothing beautiful about this first difficult shift because it had not been as perfect as it was when he had transformed to fight Cameron. It was a bloody mess that left him fighting for his next breath. Talia explained later how horrible it had been and that she would never want him to put himself through that kind of pain again. He did, though. Ignoring her protests and finding progress more important he tested his limits. Far enough away however so that most of the time she couldn't hear but all the same she hated the painful transformations ever since and didn't care how many times he explained all shifts would one day cause him no agony at all.

The young man pulled himself out of his past memories that seemed so long ago he didn't understand why he had even began thinking of them or into them for that matter. It was also amazing how quickly he had managed to think of it all and still refocus in time to hear what his current companion had to say. Thought processing speed must increase too with this form...huh, go figure. That explains another part of the quick reflexes and strategizing. He felt strong and powerful after feeding off of the other and his vitality was at a high level that would probably keep up for awhile or so he hoped anyway since having to feed again anytime soon would be bother. He rolled his shoulders back and cracked his knuckles before nodding and saying, " Might as well. What do you have in store for me next, Cameron?"
