Alright, once again. The first half is a memory and this is in Adrian's
POV. This might actually make some sense to you people who never make sense
of anything and might confuse those who always make sense. Hmm yeah.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What a boring day, I thought to myself as I walked down the street. My cornsilk hair stuck out of my cap and it blew slightly in the wind. Although it was late summer, the cold seemed to creep up on the world. So, I wore a jean jacket so I would fit in, at least a bit more than if I didn't.
Today I decided to go to the local highschool, to observe. Really I should be back at Midnight, doing something important. But I need to go and visit the local zoo. If humans can take a day off to see animals locked up in artificial habitats, then vampires have right to as well.
After a few more minutes thinking silently to myself, I reached the building just in time to see dozens of humans exiting the school and into the courtyard. Lunchtime, I thought bitterly as I saw several kids with lunchbags and apples.
Just for a bit of fun, I moved myself into the courtyard. I always enjoyed making humans jumpy.
Sitting there on the largest branch of a tree, I felt like a human picking out some rats, only to feed them to their pet snake. Only I am the human AND the snake.
I yawned as I stretched across the branch, letting my jean encased legs dangle. Trees make me feel calm. Especially when I'm in a willow tree and the wind blows. No. I had liked that when I was human. Trees are comfortable to lay in, but no more.
"Hey, who's that kid up there?" Turning my head, I looked down to see a red haired girl looking up at me. She was fairly attractive, with fair skin and blue eyes.
"Don't talk to me when I'm reading," someone else answered. The person was out of my view.
"I'm sorry Nada....." the girl replied, her eyes still on me.
" 'Sok," the girl named Nada replied. Her voice was lower than normal girls, or lower than the voices I heard. The tone was even deeper or at least sounded like it because the other girl's voice was high pitched. There was no way I could stand that squeaking for long.
"What book are you reading?" the girl asked, turning away from me. Good. I carefully lowered myself slightly from the tree to look at Nada.
From what I could tell from her, the girl's hair was a maroon color, and her natural deep complexion seemed to make it look natural. The color of her eyes I couldn't tell. They were on the book. The book was a hardcover, it was tattered but it was obvious that it was loved. Not one page was dog- earred, but the cover was faded.
"Why do you always read that book? I mean, Tiger Tiger?" The title caught my ear. That was Ash Night's book. She is supposed to visit Midnight for some kind of treaty along with the vampire Jager.
"Why do you always look at guys?" The girl blushed. I smiled. Good counter.
"Because."
"That's right. You just look at guys and I just read. Nuff said."
"So," the girl said, obviously trying to change the subject. "What did Dieta pack you for lunch?"
"Sandwhich, chips, water," Nada replied as she gestured hopelessly at the brown bag. She sure didnt seem to need the food. She was pudgy.
That name....Dieta.
***********************************************************************
My eyes shot open and I found myself lying in a chair in one of the few lounges. That name. That was why the woman looked so familiar. She had been the girl in the cell with me. But that cant be right....that was over a hundred years ago.
That strange feeling I had when I had met her. It was like..something was in her aura but I couldnt place it. I know what it is now. A blood bond. She was blood bonded to the vampire. Oh god. I wondered who she was bonded to.
Wait a second..... "Adrian?" I turn my head to see Jessica there standing in the doorway.
"Yes?" I answer as calmly as I could, although deep inside I was unnerved. She smiled confidentely as she sat down by me, even though there was little to no room there.
"You figured out why Nada's mind is partially blocked, didn't you?" Just by her tone I knew that she already had figured it out herself. That pissed me off. I shoved her off of me and stalked out of the room. If she wanted to taunt me like that, fine. But she would have to do it in my room, and when I said she could.
I swear, New Mayhem vampires are so rude.
