Fallen to fate Ch.4
Hey again. Hope you've been enjoying. Thanx to Lani for helping post since
my computer is a pain. Well, here it goes.
Caryn's POV
Caryn sat with Jessica at SingleEarth. It had taken her a while to keep her staff from trying to kick Jessica out when she came. "Your latest book was interesting Ash Night." Caryn said taking a sip of her frappicino. Jessica took a sip of her own drink before she replied. "That is different from many of the comments I have heard about it so far." "Well you've only heard from the vampires you wrote about not from an outsider like me. How is New Mayhem?" "It's the same as always. Did you hear about that Triste killing Jeschika?" "Yes and I heard you ended Moira as well." Jessica feinged innocence. "It was only self-defense." "Yeah right." "I heard about your meeting with Nikolas. I thought you didn't like his type." "I don't agree with what he does if that's what you mean. It surprised me though." "What did?" Jessica asked. "When Tess was injured and he brought her to me Nikolas actually tried to soothe her and keep her calm.I was surprised he even cared enough to bring her to me." "Just because he sometimes drains his prey doesn't me he's heartless Caryn. You should have learned that lesson by now." Caryn frowned slightly. "You make me sound like a slow child. You have no right to talk about me when you do stupid things that put your life at risk everyday. I think for you it would be common sense how to deal with other beings (Meaning vampires, witches, and regs)." "I have my faults." Jessica admitted." But I am not dumb enough to judge a book by its cover or,in this case, a vampire by his feeding preference. You're still thinking like a common witch whose only thoughts on vampires is that they are the filthy enemy who must be destroyed." "I'm not as bad as that!" Caryn snapped glaring. "no but you're still a bit snobby like all witches are." Jessica countered with a wicked smile. Caryn wanted to slap her. "Well, well, well the pacifist has a temper." Aubrey said walking towards them. He stood behind Jessica's chair. Caryn studied them. They made a good pair, those two, and a deadly one. "Both of you leave if you can't quit bugging me. I'll have a hard enough time when you leave as it is. You're both infamous around here." "That's the fun thing about this place though." Jessica explained. "So about Midnight, is Jaguar now the supreme ruler or what?" "Yes Jagaur is ruler."Aubrey answered and took Jessica's cup from her to take a sip. Jessica studied him for a moment then spoke. "Risika asked to meet with you sometime this afternoon. Since it's only one I'm going to go take a nap. You can go see her then fill me in later." She turned from Aubrey to Caryn. "Day'." She said which was her replacement for "Goodnight." With that she walked out and Aubrey with a curt nod shimmered moments later. Caryn went off to deal with her anxious staff. She didn't realize the was someone new in the building till one of her staff who had been conversing with her blanched and Caryn felt the presence behind her. Turning Caryn was shocked. There stood Nikolas and besides him a young girl who looked to be only 14 years old. "What in the world." Caryn was cut off by Nikolas. "I brought her here to you. She needs help." Caryn nodded then turned back to her employee. "We'll be in my office." She told the frightened guy then led Nikolas and the girl through the building to her office in the back. She opened the blinds in he office as Nikolas and the girls sat down in to chairs. She could tell the girl was sick. Her eys were sunken in and had dark circles beneath them. Her body looked frail and maltreated. 'Like a bag of bones.' Caryn thought. 'Bones don't feel pain. She does." Nikolas replied and Caryn frowned at him for entering her mind. "So what happened?" She asked Nikolas before smiling reassuringly at the girl. "Meghan came to a party with Maguerite last night. She wanted to end her life. I thought you could help her." Caryn turned fully towards the girl as she herself sat down. "What's so bad about life?" The girl frowned at her but after Caryn held her gaze she looked down and sighed. "It was just me, my mom, and my little brother and sister. I have cancer and my mom got sick of having to bring me to doctors and I couldn't help her make money to pay the bills 'cause I was sick. She kicked me out a few weeks ago." Caryn sucked in her breadth. "My mom is a druggie who was getting aggravated because my getting sick was cutting in to her getting high time." "Your mom sounds like a very despicable woman." Caryn said. She cursed the unknown woman in her head and Nikolas ever in her mind was surprised by her irate thoughts. "Yeah, well you're not the only one who hates her. I found ou that they took my sibs from her last week." Meghan said. "Would you like to stay here for a while? We can make you feel better and you'd have a place to sleep and food to eat." Caryn asked and watched the girl's tired eyes become overly bright. "Seriously?" "Yeah, seriously." Caryn told her. She rose and yelled out the door."Eddie could you come here?" A young man jogged in and his bangs fell in front of his eyes.He glanced at the two people in Caryn's office quickly before turning to Caryn. "Yeah, what do you need?" He asked. "Could you get a room ready for Meghan and show her around? Make sure she eats then stop by the infirmary and let the healers take a look at her,okay?" "Sure." He smiled kindly down at the girl who rose. "You look hungry. Will head straight for the cafeteria and worry about the room after that alright?" "Great." Meghan replied and they headed out together. Nikolas and Caryn both sat now studying each other and everything was silent.
