[i]"Why do you still call me a princess? I'm a peasant... a princess would never be seen covered in dirt and dust."[/i] the girl pouted and watched as Azrael spoke to her. He didn't want to turn her because she wasn't showing certain 'qualities', whatever that was supposed to mean. Evangeline was about to turn away from him and ignore his droning, but he came up to her and gently ruffled her hair, smiling down at her. [i]"You healed the cut on my arm that night...why can't you do the same here?"[/i]she asked softly, getting up off of the ground and walking up to him, her hand gently slipping into his. She was merely curious. 
[i]"Is it because my injury is too severe for you to do anything about?"[/i] Evangeline reached to untie the bandages from around her neck with her free hand, showing it to Azrael without any hesitation. [i]"Or is it that you're scared you'll bite me if you come too close?"[/i] the girl tilted her head to the side a little as she waited for a response from the vampire. she wondered if he was worried that he might hurt her. She imagined being turned wouldn't end up being a very pleasant experience. After all, one had to die first, correct?

[i]"It-it's alright, you know..."[/i]she muttered, giving him permission to do whatever it was that he wanted. [i]"I'm not scared, I know you wouldn't hurt me on purpose..."[/i]Evangeline bit down on her lip lightly, wondering if Azrael would do it.

[i]Aaaaaah, Raleigh, can't we rest yet?"[/i] May asked her brother softly as they trudged through the forest. It was cold this morning, and she just wanted to sit down with a hot cup of raspberry tea, but she had a feeling her brother wouldn't let her.
[i]"We've been traveling for days, can't we just go to an inn, or something?"[/i]the girl complained with a pout on her face. It was obvious that she was very unhappy, and wasn't particularly fond of long journeys. May had been walking at a slow pace behind her brother for quite some time, and now she was really starting to lag behind. Although she had better stamina than a human, they hadn't rested for a long time. 

[i]"You should carry me until we find somewhere comfortable to settle down for the day, what about that?"[/i]May giggled softly and found the energy to speed up so she could walk by her brother's side. Gently, she gripped his hand and looked into his eyes. 

[i]"You know, I was thinking that we should maybe go home for a little while. We could do some dusting and get rid of all the spiders that have accumulated in the attic. And I could make you cakes and tea...."[/i]May trailed off for a moment and a mischievous smile appeared on her pale and soft featured face. [i]"Maybe I shouldn't, otherwise you'll get fat and ladies won't like you anymore~"[/i] the young vampire teased, giving Rayleigh a playful push and running off into the forest. She wasn't as fast as him, so it would be easy for him to catch her, but it would still be fun.

As May ran through the forest, her laugh could be heard. It was sweet and lighthearted. She wasn't the brightest girl, but she made up for it in spirit what she lacked in intelligence. Suddenly, she came to a stop. She could hear footsteps quite a way away, and her nose caught the scent of not only a vampire, but a human. May became rather excited, and it showed on her face. Her brother would be proud of her for picking up the scent. Maybe he'd treat her to something at the next sweets shop they passed.
