Knock! Knock! Knock!
Jasper rose quickly from his place at the kitchen table, setting down the morning paper. "Darlin' I thought you weren't supposed to be home until later-." The door swung open, words falling dead on his lips. A young woman in her early twenties stood on the doorstep of his home, smartly dressed in a dark brown undershirt, with a cream colored fur vest, dark blue jeans, and mid-calf brown boots, her red hair flowing down her back.
"Thana" Jasper whispered shockingly. "It's good to see you again Major. Can I come in?" opening the door, Jasper allowed her into the spacious home, her golden eyes scanning the room. "Very nice home you have here Major" the redhead mused. "Thana, what are you doing here? How did you find me?" he asked hurriedly. Running a manicured hand over the dark wood mantle of the fireplace, she shrugged coyly, flashing him a wicked smile.
"I guess I just missed you is all" turning to him, she wrapped the Southern Vampire in a lingering hug, tucking her head into the crook of his neck. Jasper was shocked, his arms falling limply to his sides.
For a moment the Blonde Vampire was transported back to a time after his escape from Maria's Army. On his way back to Texas he was frustrated and blood thirsty, so he took some detours in an attempt to get his life back together. While detouring through a small town in Arizona, depriving himself of blood for weeks on end, he met a young nurse in training named Thana, who took him into her home after finding him passed out in an alleyway. The heartbroken and frustrated soldier spilled his heart to her, telling her of the family he left behind and the life he had led thus far. He told her of his transformation as she listened intently, his strength replenished as she relayed blood to him daily.
Thana finally released him from the hug, her smile warm and inviting as she shrugged off her vest, draping it on the back of the leather couch. "Come and sit a spell with me Major" she cooed, urging him to sit down next to her. His back relaxed against the plush leather upholstery as the two began to talk about the short time they spent together. Time eventually slipped by, the clocking finally rolling around the six-thirty in the evening.
Unbeknownst to the couple inside, a dark, sleek, black car pulled into the driveway, the soft sound of giggling filling the night air. "Man, I'm tired!" Renia exclaimed, fishing her keys from her purse. Unlocking the front door, Renia and Maalon stepped inside, the first thing they saw being a cream colored vest that didn't belong to Renia….
