There's just something so much fun about leaving you people hanging. It's nothing personal, just my twisted sense of humor. But this scene is short, so I'll do my best to post another one soon.
[[And Ethereal, if you're reading this, I apologize for scaring you with that last scene. You picked a very bad time to start reading. XD]]

There was nothing but silence. Liana slowly pushed the bathroom door open and peeked out. Bert was asleep, lying on top of his covers, breathing deeply. Liana crept out of the bathroom and made her way across the room as quietly as she could. She pulled the bedroom door open, holding her breath as it creaked softly. Bert didn't seem to hear it, and it was with a rush of relief that Liana left the room.
But her relief was short lived.
"Hey! Where are you going?" said a voice much too close behind her. Holding her breath again, she turned around to face her adversary. But it wasn't Bert: This vampire was tall and thin, and wore glasses. His light brown hair lay flat on his head, and he had a rather pink nose.
Liana sighed. "Oh," she said. "I thought you were someone else. Well, bye then." She turned to leave, but the vampire grabbed her arm.
"You can't just run away," he said. "I was ordered to make sure you didn't escape."
"Figures," Liana said, sighing again. She slid down against the wall, and sat down on the floor with her head in her hands, an image of defeat.
The vampire just stared at her. Then, suddenly, he extended his hand to her. "My name's Mikey," he said. "And you're Liana; everyone here already knows your name. Nice to finally meet you."
"Charmed, I'm sure," Liana said, not looking up. She was perfectly content to continue sulking on the floor, especially since her only other option was to go back to Bert.
Mikey blinked, then took back his extended hand. "Fine," he said, turning to leave. "I guess you don't want my help."
"Help?" Liana looked up quickly, but Mikey was already halfway down the hall. "Wait!" she cried, running after him. "You mean you're going to help me? You're not just going to hand me back over to Bert?"
"Well, I don't know," said Mikey, stroking his chin thoughtfully. "I guess I could help you. But what's in it for me...?" He raised his eyebrows suggestively.
Liana put her hands on her hips. "There is no way I'm sleeping with you."
Mikey laughed. "I was just kidding, y'know."

Enter Mikey! Yay Mikey! ^.^ I told you this one was short. I'll post more tomorrow, if I remember and if I can. Bear with me, 'kay?
