When he walked to the wooden house's door, He twisted the door knob and walked inside.
The house seemed basically the same from almost a century ago but there was all the latest technology. Except for the contents inside, the structure was basically the same. He made his was to the living room and saw his old friend sitting in front of a 60' plasma TV. He took his seat on the couch behind him and stared into the huge screen as Yuna, Rikku, and Paine battle some 'thing' furiously in the game Final Fantasy X2.
"You came back?" The boy said to him not taking his eyes off the screen.
"Yes." Edward said flatly. "You still beating every game you see, Jaiden?"
"Yup!" he said. If Edward didn't know better, he could tell his old friend was smiling brightly, "How long has it been since I have seen you? Four years?"
"Yes, just about four. Does it matter?" he asked blankly.
"Ehhh... not really." he said finally beating the boss he was currently fighting. "Do you know why humans take so much time to find out the hidden secrets of this game when it only takes me a few hours? It would take me less if it weren't for the damn clips." He smiled mischevieously.
"If you were a human you would take forever too," Edward said continuing to stare at the screen.
Jaiden paused the game and looked into the golden eyes and chuckled, "Right." he remarked sarcastically. He stood up from the floor and grinned. "So why did you come here? Home problems?" he eyed him curiously. He looked straight into the golden eyes as if deciphering him. He turned around to face to TV again. "Your heart…. It's broken." He said after a long time.
"I can not break something I don't have." Jaiden laughed. What's so funny? He thought.
Jaiden paused the game once more to turn and look into his eyes again." But you CAN break something you THOUGHT you had. Am I right?" he smiled a huge smile as if he already knew he was right. Edward chose to ignore the comment and just look blankly at the wall.
Jaiden gave up and stood up from his paused game, "Want a juice box?"
"Excuse me?" Edward said with a confused look.
"You'll love it, trust me." he said walking out of the room to soon return with two cold pouches in his hand. He threw one over to Edward who briskly caught it. He punched the straw in it and tried to see through the whole. He saw nothing. Jaiden took his place on the couch next to him eagerly sipping on this 'juice box'.
"You know I hate food. It tastes like road kill." he said eyeing the strange pouch.
"Just try it." He sighed and continued sucking down the drink. He took an uneager sip. Blood? He took another sip Deer blood? He wasn't exactly craving it, but it was satisfying to drink.
"Deer blood?" he finally voiced his thoughts. "How do you get it?" he took little sips from the little pouch.
"I don't like to hunt. It kind of disgusts me, so I only hunt once a month and store the blood in these little pouches. Is that weird?" Jaiden looked into the curious eyes before him.
"I guess it's not. If it helps you not think of the urges… who am I to say otherwise?" he said smartly, still sucking on the end of the straw.
They sat in silence for a while taking little sips of the 'blood' box. Edward kept observing his surrounding since the TV was no longer interesting.
Well I haven't seen this place look so different. Élan said
Well it is a new era. There is a lot of technology around now. He thought in response.
Yeah! Kade came in, and there are a lot of WILLING people out there with sweet blood.
I have to admit this time it was actually tempting, but no dice.
Good Edward! Refuse Kade! He's just a dumb ass! Élan snickered
Shut the FUCK up Élan!!! You don't know anything!! Drink the blood of an innocent. It's oh so sweet! He said in a seductive voice
Stop it Kade!!!!! Élan continued to scream as Edward tried to zone them out.
The door from the back of the house opened and the whispered thoughts of a female invaded his mind.
"Jaiden! I'm back!" the sweet young voice rang through the house. "Jaiden, I got the game you wanted. I ran out to the store and there asking for you to come back." she laughed a sweet laugh that would have sent his heart, if he had one, fluttering. "They keep asking if you actually FINISHED all the games." Edward heard footstep walking to what he believed was the kitchen and plastic bag rustling on a table.
"You have another student?" Edward whispered to Jaiden still looking at the door frame he expected the young girl to walk through. He looked into the dark eyes of his friend to only see them pulsing with anger.
"She's worse than you." He said through gritted teeth, "My own creation has a flaw." He clenched his fists around the juice pouch, the cold liquid spilling all over the boy's hands. His eyes were fixed on his hands, staring daggers at them, hoping they would burn a hole through the skin.
The girl walked in and paused under the door frame once she spotted the newcomer. Edward eyed her up and down. She was the weirdest vampire he had ever seen, if she even WAS a vampire at all. She had tan skin, blue eyes instead of golden and blonde hair. That was an odd combination for a vampire. Does she even have cold skin? Edward though, Is she even a vampire?
