Welcome to Gaia! ::

"I have my doubts, and I've learned better than to get my hopes up." I said, enjoying the bottle of who knows what, loving the dullness it was instilling over my sharpened senses. "You know he slugged me across the face earlier, because I let him know what I thought about his hook hanging." I nodded, sitting up and letting my eyes wander over the room and out the window.

I took the bottle from Sean.
"Hey you," I said. "Drowning in booze isn't going to make you better. And I figured Erik hit you across the face. How else would one explain the lovely purple splotch." I heaved another sigh. "Just give him time is all I can tell you to do."

I followed Sean into his room before he could succeed to slam the door in my face. I hurried over to him and snatched the bottle, opening a window and tossing the bottle into the night.
"You listen here," I said, jabbing a finger at him. "You are not going to sit in this room and mope around drinking for whatever reason, you hear me? I don't care if you want some alone time, but quit being such a drama queen!"

I stared at the newly turned vampire, appalled. What was he, pulling these bottles out of his a**? Never mind, I didn't want to know.
"That's it," I said, stomping my foot and crossing my arms like a child. "You wanna be that way? Fine?" I let out a triumphant "hmph," stuck my nose up in the air, and turned and walked out of the door, slamming it behind me. I walked down the hall, uncrossed my arms, and shrieked in frustration. Then I continued walking as if nothing has happened, down the stairs, into the living room, to the door on the opposite side. The door led out into the Manor's courtyard, which was full of beautiful flowers of all sorts. A grand fountain stood in the middle - if one was hot (or drunk) enough, they would simply dive in and go for a swim; it was that deep. I sat on the edge of this, facing away from the part of the Manor I had just exited. The courtyard sat in the middle of the Manor, but it wasn't claustrophobic.

I bit my lip after Dannie left my room, wincing in pain for a second afterward having dug my fangs into them. I sighed, looking down at the bottle in my hand, I hadn't even had a drink before tonight, suddenly I'm a vampire and I'm a while different person. I did like Danny and tossed the rest of the bottle out the window. I sat cross-legged on the floor and stared at the wooden planks, thinking about my situation, planning.

I still wanted Erik, even after being used and slugged in the face. What the ******** did I see in him? Either way, I still felt it, I couldn't fight that. "I could... try to learn some witchcraft?" There was no way he'd notice me as long as I was just Sean, the wimpy, scared, and fairly annoying new kid. I rubbed my upper arms thinking about it, I had to come up with something.

I jumped Erik you entered, going instantly on the defensive. I looked into Erik's eyes for a second before breaking my look away, staring straight at the floor. Having drained a bottle and a half of God knows what, Sean thought it was strange how serious he felt. "Hey Erik," I said, trying not to look up and face him. I blushed. I felt like yelling at him... but the tone in his voice silenced me. "What are you doing in here?" I asked, making sure not to sound like I was mad or angry, just wanted to know.

The Reverend sighed, raising himself from the bed after a few moments and realizing that he was like a magnifying glass pointing a huge beam of sunlight into the eyes of everyone here, like a cruel child looking down on ants. He slowly stepped into the hallway, a mess at the moment, he felt like acting like a child, slapping something off the wall and crying about it. But he was.. The Reverend. He couldn't act like that.

He was in a rather destructive mood at the moment, and everyone that got near him would know it, that destructively confused look in his eyes that even he couldn't understand. He had to talk to somebody. He was right now, the only one without someone to hold, and it was a queasy feeling knowing that everyone else was slightly comfortable.
