Of Life, Love, and Death

Hey, I just wanted to tell you that I won't be able to get a reply in tonight. Today was so crazy and eventful. Loafs of drama too. :( I should get a reply in tomorrow. I'm so so so sorry. :(

Of Life, Love, and Death

I keep meaning to tell you, cussing doesn't bother me as long as it is tactful. So long as it's not every other word, I'm fine. :)

Your post was pretty long too, you should totally be proud of it! I know I got carried away with my last, but I was trying to set up the twist. Oh, and I think I have a feeling I know what twist you're setting up, and I like it! :D I think this meeting will be much more intense. Though I'm not sure yet how Avina will respond. I see two different ways for her to approach him, I just have to figure out which one is more like her. :) it will be fun though!!

She probably will be dominate in the relationship. Lol. It's how she is used to functioning. Though I can see her showing him her soft side when they get closer, a side no one has seen in 400 years. :)

I think going in with no solid plot has made this rp so interesting! Never knowing where it is really headed, not even a tunnel vision of what's to come. It makes it so unpredictable and fun. :)

By the way, I'll start working on a reply after me class. :D

Sorry about the length. I kinda got carried away...

By the way, if you want to take my plot bunny and run with it, that would be great!! It had already accomplished what I wanted it to. It made her mad and cautious of vampires. I can still carry it out, I am just offering it to you if you want to help since it has to do with Vampires. :D

I do enjoy how we just came up with polar opposite characters, with out planning to, and yet they still fit together like puzzle pieces. I haven't changed Avina in anyway. She is exactly like I pictured her! I guess it goes back to us being do in tuned. lol

I'm glad I have caught your attention! You certainly have mine!! And I like your writing style as well. ^.^

Of Life, Love, and Death

Vampires were confusing. No heartbeat, no breath, no working organs. Yet they could still walk, talk, function, and live for forever. In turn, she placed her hand on his chest to feel the lack of a heartbeat. “Did it hurt when your heart stopped beating?” She asked. It must have been like dying. Who would want to survive dying? The lack of heartbeat under her palm was weird, but the coolness of his skin felt relaxing to the overheated temperature her body put off. After hearing the howl of her pack, she pulled her hand away and moved towards the ally way. It was clear that neither of them wanted to go, but honestly she wanted him to go first. She couldn’t say why, just that she did. In the blink of an eye he was by her side, his had resting lightly on her arm and then he was gone.

A sigh escaped from her lips. “Goodbye.” She whispered to the night air. It just dawn on her that she didn’t even know his name, and she would probably never see him again. A sad laugh escaped from her lips just as another howl filled the air, this time a different wolf calling. What was going on? All thoughts of the vampire temporarily gone, she broke out into a run. Even in human form she was faster than a normal person should have been. Within minutes she was approaching the street she heard the howls coming from.

The sight that awaited her was shocking. “Move.” She ordered as she moved past a handful of her wolves. They were all circled around a dead naked body lying face down in the middle of the street. Hessen, the newest member in her pack, he had only been changed four months ago. He was still new to everything, still confused as to who he was now. A tear slid down her cheek and she wiped it away, but not before her pack noticed it. A few whimpered around her, sympathizing in her pain. Kneeling down in front of him she turned his body over. A gasp shook her whole body as she stood up and backed away from the sight. Kiel, in human form and dressed in pants, came up behind her and put a hand on her shoulder. She knocked it away angrily then looked back at the body. Hessen’s jugular had been ripped out completely, but there was no blood. Almost as if his killer had sucked his blood dry. On top of that, there were half circles at each corner of the gap as if someone, or something, with fangs had bit into his neck, drained him of his blood, and then ripped out his neck.

“A vampire. I thought they were just legends.” Keil said kneeling down next to the body and touching the fang like holes.

Anger ran through her every fiber. “Go home.” She said softly. Keil turned his head to look at her in confusion. “I said… GO HOME!” Her eyes flashed red, faded back to blue, and slowly grew read again. “EVERYONE, GO HOME!” Her voice echoed down the street and her trained ears could hear humans stirring and waking up at the sound of her voice. The pack started backing away until the first few had hit the edge of the street then they all took off running. Keil pushed against her alpha orders, and while he was making his way towards the forest it was a very slow walk. “What about the body?” He asked softly. Her eyes snapped up to his blood red and glowing. “Do not make me give my command again.” She told him in a dangerously low tone.

An involuntary whimper sounded from him before he turned and ran after the pack. Avina sank to her knees after Kiel left. She did this to Hassan. It was her fault because she had enjoyed the company of a vampire. If she had been out patrolling the streets like she should have, she could have saved him. Maybe the vampires were working together to take down her pack. Tears slid down her cheeks as lights came on and people came outside to see what was happening. Gasps, curses, cries, and sounds of 911 being called filled the street. Avina continued to kneel by the body, tears streaming down her cheeks.

It was well into the afternoon when she made it back to her pack. Her second in command, Brice, was the only one brave enough to come near her. Avina put her face on his shoulder as soon as his arms were around her. If she could, she would have collapsed in his arms, but she did not dear show such a weakness. Instead she pushed Brice away after a few moments. “Let’s sleep. We will talk at midnight.” She turned away from her pack and went to curl up at the base of her favorite tree. Brice lay down about five feet from her. Soon the rest of the pack formed a circle around her, none of them daring to move any closer then Brice was.

---

Avina pretended to be asleep until her whole pack had fallen asleep, then stood up and started to make her way out of the circle. Just as she started to walk away, a hand on her shoulder stopped her. “Where are you going?” Brice asked.

“I need to walk.” She said without looking back at him.

“Let me come with you.”

“No. Stay here and keep an eye on the pack. While you are at it, figure out who Hassan’s partner was supposed to be. I will be back at midnight and we are going to talk as a pack.” Brice’s hand slipped from her shoulder and she continued walking. The sun had just set making the woods dark, but she should still see everything clearly. How could she have fallen for such a stupid trick? Of course vampires can’t stand werewolves! They just wanted her preoccupied. Would they be picking off her pack one by one now? Thoughts clouded her mind, questions begging to be answered. So unfocused she was, she hardly even knew where she was, other than she was just wondering in the forest.

I'm gonna start my reply here soon! :D

I think it is so interesting that they are almost polar opposites!! But it makes their interactions so much more fun! By the way, I'm about to throw in a plot twist, just a heads up. :)

I also wanted to ask. Since they are both going their own way, do you want me to skip to another night? Or would you want me to just finish out the night and let you do the time skip?

Thank you! :D I really liked your post as well. Even though you rearrange your paragraphs, they always seem coherent to me. :) I usually read your posts in the morning on my phone, that way I can think about how to reply as I get ready to go to class. :)

Of Life, Love, and Death

Alrighty. :) No rush!

I think these nightly visits are gonna get very interesting! Trying to push each other's buttons, steal each other's food, and in the process get to know each other. I thought about not doing it, but that would be out of character. Because she is a werewolf, Avina doesn't have a personal bubble. Between shifting forms and spending over 400 years in a male prominite species she has grown to being use to no personal bubbles. Packs cuddle in both human and wolf states when they sleep, and tend to walk around nude just because it is easier then finding clothes all the time. So in that sense, him putting his hand on her chest didn't give her a second thought. (Also why I didn't include it in her mental dialog. It didn't even cross her mind.) :D

I am finding that I really get into the Roleplay as well when I stop thinking about the length and just go for it. Most of the time I end up moving my paragraphs around though. Like this last reply, I wrote the last paragraph first, only to realize it didn't belong in the beginning. I just got caught up in writing that I forget about order too. Lol. I'm really liking this rp, if you can't tell! :D

The pack practically ran out to met them as Adam drove up. The whole way there, Avril stared out the window in silence. Adam wasn't sure what to make of her absentees, or her slap, but he honestly did not have the mental energy to deal with it. "I have to get back to school." he told her and the pack as he parked his truck and got out.

"Yeah, whatever." Avril got out of the truck and started for the house before turning back to Adam. "You are no better then my father, whom you despise." She told him with a hiss. "Someone show me my room!" Avril stormed into the house, followed by one of the pack's younger members. After about five minutes of waiting in her room, she couldn't stand it anymore. She wasn't going to stay cooped up.

Making a quick decision, Avril climbed out of her window and headed for the school. Sure, it took her a while but she got there about 4 hours later. While keeping an eye out for Adam, she made her way to the library hoping to find a word she could read about in order to escape her own world. She walked into the building and headed towards the back to browse. Not too long after, she turned down an isle to see Jason standing there. For a moment she just stared at him, her mind blank then she turned on her heels and walked away. She didn't want to deal with him if he was going to be a pain. She didn't care.

Adam looked up as Amanda walked in. He had attempted to grade papers, but his mind kept replaying Avrils words in his head. "Hey Amanda." he greeted softly, rubbing a hand over his face. "Don't worry about it. I am glad I could have helped." His voice was distant and void of any emotion. "I hope you had a good day." He told her as he looked back at his papers, pretending to go back to grading.

I do not think he is doing very well with pushing her buttons. But she is defiantly hooked! I am sure they will fight eventually, but from the way they interacted I do not think it is going to happen tonight. I really like watching them interact! It is so fun!!

I have to say, I highly enjoy the fact that you are pushing my writing. :) I have noticed that you add a paragraph each time, which is fun. I haven't had someone push me in a long time! Please keep it up :)

A smile lit up her up turned face. How odd it was that both times she had closed her eyes he had not moved. From the stories she heard of vampires she thought them to be wild and uncontrollable creatures. They attacked anything with a pulse. Yet, here he stood. Not even moving an inch, other than to step closer to her, and still he had not attacked. Was this vampire abnormal or were the stories lies? His grey eyes appeared to be so human…. She blinked rapidly trying to shake the thought that was about to follow. Her weight shifted to the left foot and she lifted her eyes back to his.

Her tongue poked out from her lips a little as she looked at him with amusement. “So, you are going to stop breathing because I smell? Nice to know!” She reached up and pushed her red hair back behind her shoulder. In doing so, she exposed her neck and scraped his chest with her elbow. “I take it vampires do not have to breath then?” She put her thumb back in her pocket and shifted her weight to her other foot. What would it be like to not breathe? She took a big breath and then held it. For a good minute she just stood there attempting to hold her breath. Finally she let it out with a heavy sigh. “Wow! That was uncomfortable. How could you do that for a long period of time?” She found herself relaxing in presence without really meaning too. Somehow she knew he wouldn’t attack her.

His comment made her pause. He was intrigued by her? Why? She was not that fascinating. At least what he knew about her was not that fascinating. “You think I am trying to capture you attention? I assure you I am not. If anything, I am captured by you.” She started to walk in a circle around him. “A vampire. I never thought I would meet a blood sucker.” She paused behind him. “By the way, how can my heart beat be cancelled out by my smell? Last I checked, sound and smells were two different senses. Therefore they cannot cancel each other out.” She came back to stand in front of him, just as close as she was before.

I don’t have a clan, she thought. Pulling her eyebrows down in confusion, she looked at him as if he just sprouted wings. “Clan?” she questioned. Then it clicked. Vampires are lone creatures, but they still need each other to survive and stay hidden. Clean up each other’s messes, teach newly changed blood suckers. “You mean pack.” She informed him with a shrug. “But your right, if I wanted my pack’s help I would have called already.” She was careful to avoid mentioning an alpha. As much as she did not want to give away the secret she held close to her chest, she did not want to lie either. “We run together, you know. More than just pairs. We hardly ever go very far on our own.” She told him with a laugh. “Almost exactly the opposite of you, vamp.” She poked him in the chest.

Two hearts. A grin broke out on her face. “Of course not, but feel for yourself.” She grabbed his hand that rested on her arm and boldly placed it on her chest, right above her heart. One heart beat thumped solidly against her rib cage. However, no sound came from him, except a breath or two. It was unnerving how quiet his body was. No sounds of a heart beating, not rush of blood though his veins, and no internal organ sounds. It was like he was an animal that had been killed. But, of course, he was a vampire therefore he was dead. It really shouldn’t surprise her, yet it did in an odd sort of way. “Is it true that vampires have no heart beat?”

A wolf howling in the distance caught her attention. Once again, her eyes flashed yellow. She took a step to the side to peer around him, forgetting about his hand still resting on her chest. Wild eyes returned back to him. “I have to go.” She whispered. Really, she didn’t want to go. What if she never got to see him again? What a silly idea! He was a vampire and she should be repulsed by his very presence… “Maybe I will see you around?” she said a little too hopefully as she edged around him. The howl came again, and she almost broke into a run, but she stopped and looked back at him. What she was waiting for she had no idea. Even still, she paused to look back at him.

Adam gave Amanda one last smile and then headed back towards the classroom. Only fifteen minutes until the next class, he needed to get a half dressed Avril out of the classroom. Stopping by the lost and found in the campus library, Adam picked up a pair of shorts and a t-shirt that was about the size of Avril then marched into the classroom and handed her the clothing items. "Get dressed." he told her simply.

Avril glanced up as Adam entered. As much as she wanted to tell him no, she couldn't. With a sigh, she put on the clothes and threw his jacket at him. "When were you going to tell me?" she asked crossing her arms.

"Not now, Avril." Adam sighed running his hand over his face.

Avril stood her ground. "Yes, now! When did you figure out we were to be married?"

Adam turned to her, his eyes turning yellow. "I said, not now!" he growled, making Avril wimper under the weight of his Alpha command. "Let's go." His eyes faded back to normal as he gestured towards the door. Avril walked up to him and tilted her head back to look up into his eyes. For a moment she just stood there, then she raised her arm and slapped him across the face, hard enough that the sound ecoed through the silent classroom. With a huff she turned on her heel and left the room knowing he wouldn't give her orders in front of humans.

On her way out of the building, she passed by Amanda and Jason. Anger still boiled inside of her while mind kept going over the way she just slapped Adam. She looked over at Jason with a murderous glean in her eyes, but kept moving. Adam followed behind her silently, making sure to keep his mind quiet except for a low growl of warning that came from the angered wolf inside of him.
