~ Shards of Sapphire ~
Rose was seriously starting to regret not doing any research about the show before agreeing to watch it with Damon. She'd known that it was about vampires and that it was based on a video game series, but those two facts had not prepared her for the contents of the show.
They were barely five minutes into the first episode of Castlevania, and she was over here having an emotional breakdown.
Damon was a little teary-eyed himself as he put his arm around her shoulders and quietly apologized.
"Sorry, I kind of forgot that Lisa's death is hard to watch."
While the whole witch-burning scene had been a little uncomfortable to watch, that was not the cause of Rose's distress. She hadn't realized that one of the main characters was called Trevor, and hearing her dearly departed best friend's name suddenly and without warning was an unpleasant shock. Of course, she was too embarrassed to admit the real reason she was crying to her boyfriend. And that only made her cry harder.
Damon shut the TV off and pulled Rose into his lap. He rubbed her back as she sobbed into his shoulder.
Vampire emotions are stupid.
