B is for Bravery

Character: Erica

Quote: "It's better to be a lion for a day than a sheep all your life" ~Sister Elizabeth Kenny


And here she comes!

The one and only,

Erica Jones!

Erica was the kind of girl who you would think; Wow. She is really brave. Bravery of a lion people would say.

Erica was the kind of girl whom people looked up to as awesome, fearless, courageous.

Or people don't look up at all since they are terrified of what she would do to them [AKA Benny]

Erica was known for being the one who is the most badass in the group. Always knew where the enemy would strike, and how to get them on their knees. Erica would know how to catch the victim and fearlessly suck the living hell out of them.

In other cases, Erica was called brave.

Erica had that thing going on. The one that is called bravery.

Of course, like every human being, they had fear.

Except Erica was not human, so she tried to cover that fear. She would think that being immortal would give her the confidence boost she always needed. But deep inside herself, she had her insecurities.

Her worries.

Her thoughts.

Her fears.

Erica was just as human as anyone else she ever met. She had all those things humans had; intelligence, strengths, weaknesses...just to name a few.

For example. As a human, Erica was bullied.

Every.

Single.

Day.

She would go home, sobbing and weeping in her bed. I mean, her worst fear would be if all those insecurities and harsh insults one day got to her.

Like if she would kill herself, or stay a day longer.

Erica [as a human] was afraid of death. That is why she tried not to get all those insults in her mind. She was scared on what was to happen is she died. She hated the fact she was alive, but was death really worth it?

Now, ever since she got turned, her fear has turned against her. She would never get the shot at dying.

Because she already was.

But she would get the shot at living.

Since she already was doing that too.

Erica's number one fear is not how people think of her. I mean, she could deal with that now. She had two sharp fangs, and a huge appetite for blood. Erica's fear is not how the next day would go. It would go better since she is Erica. Period.

Erica's fear is staying alive.

[The irony, don't you think?]

Erica knew immortality graced her with being popular and awesome. She was hot now.

All those bullies, she bullied back.

All those men that rejected her, she rejected back.

All those crushes she would spend nights thinking of, they would now dream of her.

Yeah, immortality really was awesome.

...

And it sucked.

Majorly.

Erica knew that she would be able to live every single day like it was the previous one, and still do more each day. But in her heart, she felt as if it weren't worth it. I mean, would she really give up the chance of a true love just for a day of immortality? As a human, Erica could've pulled off her own Dusk. Y'know, mortal style. But now, Erica was just to sit there, watching her lover grow older and she would leave him once he dies and move on. It was so painful to Erica to know that no one would give up their mortality just to be with her.

I mean, if she was a human, she wouldn't.

So in a way, immortality and fear of never being loved was Erica's fear.

But you know how she faced it?

She faced it by being her. By being a sexy, badass, version of her.

And made sure there were still corners of herself in the mix.

Erica knew fears could very much destroy you. She knew that if you were to let fear consume you, your very own fear my twist into your own death wish. So Erica knew she had the shot of living while she was dead.

Undead of course.

But Erica overcame them by recognizing she was beautiful.

By knowing she could pull of her own Dusk with a loved one if she chose to turn the right guy.

[And Kurt was a definite mistake. Oops.]

Erica knew she had her fears.

Erica knew she had her worries.

Erica knew she had her insecurities.

Doesn't everyone?

But unlike most people, Erica knew one more thing.

Erica also knew she had her own bravery.

And which one of those would overcome each other?

Erica didn't know.

Would fear end up winning?

Or would bravery overcome them?

Erica decided one thing though.

She would let them battle it out.

While she lived her life.


A/N- That wraps up B! Hope you all liked it.

So next chapter, is C. And I am gonna give you what title is next. See if you can guess who it is:

C is for Charmer.

Nope. We all know who this one is.

It is SO Ethan.

Lol, just kidding [no offence Ethan]. You review who you think it is.

We know you have to choose one out of two people though! If that counts.

Drop a review and thanks for reading. Peace!
