It had been a rather long day yesterday, long long long. The sun was just about peeking dancing its light just over the horizon to grace the earth with morning. Oh, how lovely the sight was, but that didn't mean the more forward part of the day would be graceful. The heat in Dallas was terrible.
It made her want to die in the darkness just go get away from it. Though, such a phrase was a weird thing to say amongst the politics of today. Not that she cared, who cared to talk to her. Dear shyness, Meli.
Like any sane person that lived on the planet earth, she should have be asleep at such an ungodly hour in the morning especially after staying up all night with her lacking of sleep. Oh no. no. no. She wasn't, she had to stay up all night again, reading some lovely book that she had rounded up from a book shop she had walked past on her way to her car and heading on home here in the rural parts of Dallas.
She herself?
Business was.. well. Better than usual actually.
She hasn't been in much of a tiffy with her Boss like usual, she hadn't had a customer try and flirt with her shamelessly because of her quiet behavior, thing that she didn't have the courage to tell anyone nonetheless defend herself. For which she had taken self-defense classes for. Not only that, but for other reasons as well..
But other than that. She seemed to be fine, making out well with her freelancing mind. Trying out new jobs or make-shift jobs everyday was the highlights of her life. She had never thought she would truly get away from her family to spread her ways and start anew life, but she did. Looking at her amazing home, that she might say so herself, she did very well.
Her rural home was a mini manor was at the center of the adjoining land .. Surrounded by a fence made of iron arches and eventually hedges. Despite this, the main gate was always open during the day, only closing at night, so visitors can pop in at any moment. Especially with the frequent drop-ins from her off and on friends slash family. Or the occasional vampire still in their old fashion ways, seeking shelter in an old inn instead one of those big shot hotels in the city. There was a beautiful fountain in front of the main doors, and the ground was all gravel here.
There was a lot more land than this actual manor with a medium sized pasture. There were several wooded areas as well being about a couple hundred miles from the big city would do that, though they didn't exactly have wild animals, most of them having been cleared by now thanks to hunters. The occasional rabbit and pheasant would pop up however, during the season. But she had the government give her a permit that stated others had to ask her to hunt on the grounds, unlike before when they just came all willy-nilly killing the precious nature about the home killing the scenery.
She sighed happily, curling her legs under her butt as she placed the flap of the book in between the pages she stopped and took in the scenery. It's been ages since she had stayed up like this, and would watch as dawn would come and peek over the horizon to look upon her.
"Wow." She murmured quietly and mmmed, she closed her eyes as her mind and eyes rested though she was awake, not at all tired from staying up. Her arms curled about the large book she had, holding it close to her chest as she sighed contently.
But something caught her, the scent of something being burned charred. At first, she thought it was her imagination, but she had suddenly heard the sound of crackling in the air. She lifted her head and blinked her eyes open placing her book on the swinging bench.
Leaping up out of the chair she sprinted after the smell, at first she thought it was someone burning a part of her forest but saw someone was burning.. The fire was a mystifying blue, chalking about the black markings on his palely tanned body and she gasped.
"What the hell?" It was a vampire! She looked about, quickly she found the tarp that she used for horses at one time and flap it and covered herself in it and ran towards him
"What the hell are you doing?" Her words flew from her mouth before she could react and her arms went around the body of the man, he was an inch or two taller than her but she got him.
Her body curled her arms over his shoulder and she squeezed knocking him to the ground. "Come on!" She shouted hurriedly
She began practically dragging him with little resistances from him and haul assed back in the house. She placed him covered him in the tarp and ran to the windows, placing the blinds over them blocking out the sun completely. She knew those blinds from that fancy hotel would be of some use.
Licking her dry lips, she went to her mini fridge and pulled out four bottles of that synthetic blood and grabbed the burnt hand of the vampire.
Pulling him towards the basement where the cover of darkness would help him heal along with the blood.
End. :x
