...
Evelyn was nervous, scratch that she was practically on the verge of a panic attack which sounds impossible because vampires have no need to breath so why was her throat slowly closing up! She had never been on a real date before so for all she knew it could be just her and Danny going for a stroll or going someplace fancy like in the movies or going to the movies? Oh god she didn't know! She didn't know how dates worked and even then it would be different because going on a date with a vampire crossed off any activities during the day, which was fine because Danny had classes for most the day and Evelyn was asleep. The blonde also didn't know about proper dating protocol! Did she wear a dress? did she wear jeans? did she need flowers or would Danny be the one to do that? what?!
The blonde was freaking out she needed help but she didn't want it from her sister. Oh god if Carmilla found out she would kill Danny or tease Evelyn for the rest of their immortal lives and she couldn't have that, she just couldn't. The list of people to go to for help was incredibly short and she didn't know who to go to. Laura was out of the question because she would tell Carmilla and so was Danny because she didn't want the red head to have to do everything plus she still wanted it to be a surprise so that left Perry and Lafontaine.
The gingers were always happy for company and she remembered, during one of Perry's rants, that Perry was willing to help when it came to relationships be it boys or girls. Hopefully the red head would be willing to help Evelyn since it wasn't a supernatural problem. Leaving the safety of her dorm she made her way to Perry and Lafontaine's place the sooner she got there the quicker she could get answers.
Biting her lip she looked both ways before knocking on the door she didn't want Carmilla seeing her or she might start asking questions then she would die of embarrassment before she went on her date with Danny and that would ruin everything! Shaking her head she pushed her worries aside. The best thing to do right now was talk to Lafontaine and Perry. Raising her hand she took a deep breath and knocked hoping and praying that her sister wasn't with them.
Luck was on her side because Perry answered.
"Oh hey Evelyn"
"Hi Perry um have you seen my sister?"
"No I'm sure she's off with Laura and Lafontaine looking for more stuff for their um.. Project"
The way Perry talked around the investigation and the way the others took part wasn't anything new, Evelyn hoped she would help out with said investigation in her own time.
"Ok well I need your help or I would appreciate it um if you don't mind"
"You want my help?" Perry was stunned usually the others wanted her baking skills, which were growing, but still Evelyn had never come to her for anything but friendly conversation.
"Yes if you wouldn't mind and it has nothing to do with the supernatural" she added quickly knowing Perry's disdain for anything "weird".
"I mean unless you count me 'cause I'm me but that's not the point um…"
"What do you need help with?"
"Well you see I'm…old fashioned even with how times have changed and my own adjustment to them I still don't really have any idea of well… courting"
"Courting?" The smile on Perry's face grew till Evelyn was blushing like crazy.
"Y-yes I um I have been flattered and there have been many failed attempts at seduction, all um directed towards me but uh.. N-never a real courting.."
Perry was doing a mental fist pump finally something not supernatural!
"Of course I'll help!"
The red head grabbed her hand and pulled her in slamming the door behind her she was so excited to finally have a normal-ish problem to help with. Leaving the vampire by the bed she rushed to the bathroom to get her make up kit and hair brush. She had been waiting for this day to come and her patience had finally paid off! While Perry was collecting her tools Evelyn sat nervously biting her lip. She didn't have a clue as to what Perry was going to do but she hoped it would be good.
"Oh you have no idea how happy I am!" Perry grabbed the computer chair and pushed the vampire into it before setting her supplies on the bed.
"Um Perry what are you doing?"
"Preparing, I want to make sure I'm prepared for anything you might ask or need"
"Oh O-ok"
"Now what about Dating do you need help with?"
"Uh well you see I um I got asked out on a uh on a date"
Perry's squeal made Evelyn cover her ears it was so loud.
"This is great! When?"
"What?"
"When is your date?" Perry demanded, yes she demanded because this was the first normal thing she'd been asked to help with since coming there with Lafontaine.
"Tonight"
"Tonight!"
"Y-yes"
"Ok I need details so I know what I'm working with"
"Wait what?"
"What's happening on this date? Do you know where you're going? Is it some place fancy?"
"I don't know" Evelyn tried not to wince because Perry was really scaring her right now she had never seen the red head in such a mood.
"How could you not know?"
"I didn't think to ask but knowing Danny it's probably something simple I mean I would-"
"Wait, wait, wait Danny?"
Oh god. She'd let it slip, her immortal life was over. Perry was gonna tell Laura who would tell Carmilla then she would lock Evelyn away for who knows how long and kill Danny. Perry blinked and leaned back folding her arms across her chest watching the undeniable panic spread across the blondes face.
"How long have you two been a thing?"
"W-we haven't we just went on patrols and talked this is um this is the first time Danny's made any clear advances I mean there was that whole spat with Harmony but I don't really-"
"Whoa, whoa, whoa who's harmony?" Perry demanded wondering why she and Lafontaine hadn't heard about this.
"One of Danny's Summer sisters and she made me very uncomfortable with her flirtations but Danny promised to handle it and now she has" Evelyn was biting her lip trying and failing to hide her smile.
Perry stared at the blonde it was incredible, the smile on her face, it was happy, beaming no scratch that it was radiant. Perry didn't normally use such words not that they weren't in her vocabulary but seriously it was contagious because Perry felt her lips quirking up at the corners and this fuzzy feeling bloomed in her chest reminding her of a certain scientist. That fuzzy feeling only came around when Lafontaine was with her or when they cuddled after watching hours of Net flick's. Perry shook her head she was here to help Evelyn not get all dreamy eyed at the thought of Lafontaine.
"Ok so your with Danny that's good, now on to this date do you know where its gonna be or what? Again I need details"
"No I uh I don't know but from previous experience I suspect it will be something simple not too fancy because Danny's not that way"
Nodding to herself Perry turned around and grabbed her compact and a brush. Checking the eye shadow she scrunched her nose before grabbing a different one she needed a light grey not bright pink or orange.
"Um Perry what are you doing?"
"I'm finding a color because even if you're going on a simple date you still need make up for a touch of flare, now hold still"
Evelyn sat still wishing more than anything that she could see her reflection so she could see what Perry was doing. The red head took her time making sure the eye liner wasn't too dark but not smudged because her "control freakiness" wouldn't allow it and it added to the affect. The eye shadow was a nice misty blueish grey which was perfect for Evelyn's soft eyes and her pale skin with a light shade of red lipstick it made a nice changed and now Perry only had one more thing to worry about: hair.
Spinning the chair around she grabbed a brush and started working she already had a pretty good idea in her head so it would be easy. Evelyn closed her eyes loving the feel of the brush and Perry's hands running through her hair. If Evelyn was more like Carmilla she would probably be purring but since she was more of a uh "dog" person she relaxed and enjoyed the gentle grooming.
In her long life she hadn't had her hair brushed by many people. Sure her sisters had when she was human but after they moved on with their lives she was all alone, Mother was rough, wanting everything to be perfect just the way she wanted nearly scalping her a few times with the brush. Carmilla, although she liked massages every now and then, didn't do brushing. She didn't like people touching her hair because after her escape from her bloody coffin her hair had been matted and bloody most of it was unsalvageable and had to be cut short which was painful because she loved the waves of ebony but she kept it short so that would never happen again, no matter what. It was such a strange yet intimate thing and Evelyn respected that, always.
"Alright have a look" Perry took a step back admiring her work.
Evelyn took out her phone and went to the camera seeing herself she had to do double take. It was amazing what a small amount of makeup could do her eyes looked mesmerizing and her hair was woven into an intricate braid that hung off her right shoulder. Strangely enough this simple transformation reminded her of her first ball. They were still in France and Mother had a soiree she needed to attend. It was a strange yet amazing experience she had never worn such fine silks or jewelry in her life. Mother had spent hours getting her ready then they walked into the ball room and Evelyn would never forget the wonder and beauty of that room. It might have been small compared to the other places she would eventually go but Evangeline Bochard would never forget her first ball, her first dance, her first time being in society and not be looked as the poor drunkards daughter or the devil's helper because of her sexual orientation no, in that one night she was introduced to society as well as to the world as Evelyn and she would never forget that night just like she would never forget this one.
"Perry…" her eyes grew watery at the memory she couldn't help the thickness of her voice either.
"I tried to keep it simple and not too flashy but your uh "supernaturalness" just makes it impossible not to" Perry was proud she couldn't help it with the look of awe on Evelyn's face. before she knew it she was pulled into a careful but firm hug.
"Thank you Perry"
"Of course Evelyn I need more of these problems believe me it was nothing"
Checking her phone Evelyn bit her lip she needed to go if she was gonna meet Danny on time.
"Perry I am truly grateful for your help and-"
"I know, I know old English and what not now go on you have a date to go to just call me after and tell me all the details I don't want to miss out on the first normal experience I've had in months!"
"I will Perry again thank you"
The blonde gave her another hug before flitting out of there. Perry shook her head and sat in the computer chair feeling quiet pleased with herself. After all its not every day you help a centuries old vampire get ready for her first real date.
Evelyn flitted all the way to the trails hoping all of Perry's hard work wouldn't get messed up not that it would. Flitting was a strange ability unlike super speed in most human comic books a vampire wasn't physically affected by it they were moving so fast that the wind speed didn't mess up their hair till they stopped even then it was a gentle breeze compared to the actual wind they created by flitting places.
Coming to a stop she pulled out her phone to check her appearance one last time. Everything was perfect now she just needed Danny. Smoothing her shirt and brushing the loose strands out of her face she waited patiently for her human. Was Danny her human? They were going on a date and dating was the courting of this age no matter how much time it took or how short it seemed to take for a couple to agree on becoming a couple.
This Ages customs seemed so strange and primitive but after a while she came to enjoy them. In 1695 could she of held Danny's hand in public and not be gossiped about? Could her sister so openly pursue Lara without fear of being burned as a witch? Could Lafontaine go about their studies of science and experimentation? The answers to all of those are no they couldn't have back in 1695 but that's what made her appreciate everything that much more. Times had changed and she was going to use this growing acceptance to her advantage as much as possible and be happy.
The sound of a rapid heartbeat made her turn around hope and worry filled her till she saw Danny. The huntress was always a lovely sight but tonight she had done herself up a bit wearing a nice blue button down shirt and dark wash jeans a thick winter jacket finished the picture it was understandable now that winter was nipping at their heels. All in all she was happy to be correct in her musings that it would be a simple if not casual date otherwise she would have felt incredibly underdressed.
While Evelyn was relived Danny was speechless finally seeing the blonde. She blinked trying to get words to come out of her mouth but it just wasn't happening. Evelyn was beautiful on a normal day but tonight in this moon light, Goddess she was gorgeous. The blonde wore form fitting skinny jeans, a light blue tank top, and a black flannel she'd seen Carmilla give her the night after the story telling. Her silky blonde curls were in an intricate French braid but left the two longest strands in front fall free giving Danny the future opportunity to brush them out of her face and behind her ear. Her eyes, those glowing sapphires, were accentuated by a grey blue eye shadow that had sparkles that you could only see in the light and it just made it that much harder to speak.
"Wow you look… gorgeous" Danny couldn't help how breathless she sounded it was a miracle she could speak at all.
"Danny.." the blonde couldn't hide her blushing now that her hair was tied back and Danny loved it.
"Seriously wow"
"You're not too bad yourself" Evelyn bit her lip. This excitement was making her giddy, being bold for once. She liked it.
"Thanks"
Taking Evelyn's hand Danny led her down the path, she had a plan for tonight but first things first they had to get there. Shouldering her bag Danny smiled down at the blonde, loving the feel of her hand and the way Evelyn leaned into her she couldn't help wrapping her arm around her. It was indescribable, the feeling of having Evelyn pressed into her side like this, she swore her heart was gonna burst it felt so good. Danny wasn't the only one feeling something because Evelyn could feel that warmth start to rise in her chest again. This time it was spreading from her unbeating heart to her hands down to the tips of her fingers, making them tingle with the strange warmth only Danny could make her feel.
Rising emotions aside they enjoyed their peaceful walk down the back trails of Silas they knew them by heart but Danny had something special planned. They were walking along the path when Danny led her through a bit of foliage deeper and deeper into the forest. It might have been strange maybe even frightening wandering around the forest at night but this was the place they both felt most at home and loved that they could share that feeling of contentment.
She could sense it, the school, the people, getting farther away the longer they walked. It was strange to feel them now of all times but she liked it. Soon enough she couldn't even hear the music from the ZETA'S never ending parties they were deep in the forest by now. Danny looked down and smiled at her nodding to the right leading them further away but Evelyn noticed Danny's scent was there. Danny must come to this part of the forest often for it to be as strong as it was.
They entered a large clearing it was surrounded by trees as if fencing it off from the rest of the forest. There was a fallen tree that filled most of the clearing but there was also a small stream that reflected the moon light. It was perfect. Danny took her hand playing nervously with their joined fingers.
"I figured since you showed me your inner sanctum I could you know show you mine"
"It's beautiful Danny"
"I like to come here when the lodge gets too crazy or when I'm stressed from school it's really soothing you know?"
Evelyn nodded, taking another look around the clearing if it was this beautiful during winter it must be a portrait worthy scene during summer and spring.
Danny let go of Evelyn's making her way to the fallen tree to set her bag down. She had prepared for everything she just needed to do as Cass said and be a little more obvious with her affections, be herself, and add a dash of hunters charm and the rest would take care of itself. Hopefully. Turning around she watched Evelyn as the blonde stood in the center of the clearing her eyes touched everything in it capturing it all with her perfect vision and Danny couldn't help staring. When they'd met up at the beginning of the trails she though Evelyn was gorgeous but here in the clearing, in the light of the moon surrounded by the forest... there were no words. Evelyn may be a vampire but here in the forest she had an ethereal beauty, her blonde hair glowed and her eyes, oh sweet goddess her eyes, they seemed so clear Danny could see the soft blue from where she was.
Feeling Danny's eyes on her Evelyn looked right at her pinning the huntress in place. Danny's speechlessness worried Evelyn, how were they supposed to have a date when Danny wouldn't stop staring at her like she was seeing the moon for the first time.
"Danny?"
"What?"
"Are you ok?"
"What? oh yeah I'm fine your just... amazing"
Evelyn blushed nervously brushing her hair out of her face making Danny fall for her that much more. Finally grabbing the blanket from her bag Danny joined her vampire in the middle of the clearing unfolding it as she walked. Airing out the blanket with a few flicks of her wrist she laid it out flat so they could sit down comfortably. It was something else, being this close to the girl that drove her crazy but Danny loved it all the same. Pushing her nervousness aside Evelyn took the initiative and played with Danny's fingers the huntress had strong, calloused hands from hours of fighting, hunting, and making arrows so they had a rough feel to them but Evelyn liked that it showed the time and effort Danny put into everything she did.
"My Luna"
Evelyn's head snapped towards Danny her eyes were wide.
"Danny... no"
"Why not?"
"your a hunter of Artemis, Danny she is your goddess your leader and such" Evelyn turned her eyes to the pale moon above them "she is your moon"
"I don't think she would mind"
"Danny if there can be Vampires, cursed weapons, and satanic light gods then there can be angry Greek goddesses"
"Alright not my moon then what about something else?"
"if you want to.. " Evelyn plated with Danny's fingers enjoying the warmth that sent sparks through her with every touch. Danny watched her with a thoughtful look trying to find a word to best describe her vampire but there weren't any she was just so- so...
"My angel"
Evelyn's sapphires met Danny's forest green orbs with such confusion but one smile from Danny and she looked away with a blush rising in her cheeks.
"I'm far from an Angel Danny"
"I wouldn't be to sure"
Evelyn gave her a skeptical look shaking her head at the huntress and her nicknames.
"Ok if not the moon or an angel the what about αστέρι μου(1)?"
Evelyn's head shot up because the sound of perfect Greek rolling off Danny's tongue was incredible. Danny couldn't help smirking at Evelyn's reaction she was hoping to make this kind of impression.
"I figured I might as well start learning about the Sister hood I joined and that includes learning Greek, after I heard that I couldn't help thinking of you in the same way with the way you seem to glow in the moon light"
"you really are a lit. major with that kind of poetry Danny"
"I'm glad you noticed" Danny smiled glancing from Evelyn to the stars above she got an idea.
"Do you know about the stars?"
Evelyn looked up from their joined fingers glancing from Danny to the stars above she nodded.
" I know a few from different cultures but I'm always happy to hear a story"
Danny smiled pointing out the different constellations: Leo, Scorpius, Draco, Orion any that she could find letting the tales of each fall from her lips. It was a powerful thing, storytelling, and now Danny knew why Evelyn enjoyed telling them about her wall of portraits and she liked it especially when it came to the stars. She wasn't kidding about learning about the Summer Society she was learning about its origins from the time Lady Artemis left them to create more hunters to growth and loss in numbers through out the years. The Summer Society wasn't made to make women jealous of each other's strength or skill but to bring them together and help them become better for themselves and for their Goddess thus the Hunt. The Hunt was a test of unity and strength if a group wasn't as strong as its weakest members then they would lose women and if they weren't unified then they wouldn't be able to hunt without casualties and that was unacceptable. Finishing off her last tale Danny looked down to see Evelyn looking up at the stars with such awe and wonder she didn't even notice the smile spreading across her lips.
Seeing the spark of life in those sapphires made her heart skip a beat she had helped make that spark either striking the match or fanning the flames she had helped it grow in some way and that.. that was incredible. That ethereal glow had returned to the blonde beside her and Danny couldn't help thanking Artemis for such a gift because the goddess always wanted to take care of her hunters and it seemed she had been looking out for Danny this time. Unable to stop herself Danny leaned down kissing Evelyn's temple. The shock of the kiss made the blonde turn to face her. Using her free hand Danny cupped the blondes cheek and leaned in again stopping mid way when she noticed Evelyn's frown.
"What is it?"
"I feel like your gonna get a crick in your neck if you lean down like that "
Humming Danny looked around seeing the fallen tree she stood up pulling Evelyn with her the blonde followed her till Danny turned around and gabbed her around the waist lifting her.
"Whoa!"
Danny lifted the blonde on to the fallen tree making them almost the same height but Evelyn could finally see over Danny's head. Evelyn wrapped her arms around Danny's neck pulling the red head closer to as well as keeping her balance. The red head had surprised her but she loved this, Danny was so sweet and she couldn't help want to kiss her and judging by the look in Danny's eye she wanted to do the same. As if in a trance they leaned in ready to finally take that step and-
Buzz! Buzzz! Buzzz
And the moment was ruined.
Evelyn was really starting to get annoyed with technology, yes it was useful but she wasn't going to like it if it was going to get in the way. Danny blew her hair out of her face obviously annoyed with the sudden interruption but Evelyn wouldn't let that ruin her day. Leaning forward she pecked the huntress on the cheek making her blush. Smiling she pulled out her phone to see who she needed to hiss at for the sudden interruption only to drop her smile completely.
It was Mother.
Sharing a look with Danny the red head glared at her phone but nodded it was best not to keep the Dean waiting. Taking a deep unneeded breath as the ritual continued Evelyn answered.
"Hello Mother"
"Hello Evelyn I'm calling to let you know that my meeting was cut short and with no other reason to be here I' leaving and coming back within the week"
"Yes Mother"
"I hope all is prepared because after this waste of time I am not in the mood for anymore delays"
Evelyn swallowed looking at Danny she bit her lip.
"I'll take care of it Mother"
"Good"
With that she hung up and Evelyn wanted the earth to swallow her at this point.
Could she not have a moment's happiness without Mother ruining it?
"Evelyn?" Danny was worried just mentioning the mother of all evil put her vampire in a sullen mood but actually talking to the bitch made her a step above Eeyore. Cupping the blonde's cheek she watched her close her eyes enjoying the warmth turning into it so she could kiss her palm. That was one of the things vampires loved, warmth, and Danny certainly produced enough of it. Opening her eyes Evelyn met Danny's worried gaze she didn't blame her they had been enjoying their moment and now she was scared for her life, for their lives. Pushing everything aside she still wanted something and for once she would have it. Holding onto the hand that was cupping her cheek she used her free hand to pull Danny closer. Danny was surprised but that was to be expected Evelyn never used her supernatural strength especially for something like this but then their lips met and she couldn't bring herself to care.
The world was ending but Evelyn had her first kiss and that was all that mattered.
