Nightfall: Chapter 2

(S)
You're inner demon, where your vampire strengths come from. All it wants is blood, to feed and feed and gorge itself on blood. In return, it gives you more strength, speed. It heightens your senses, and can give you certain other attributes, like your teeth. But, it will always try to control you, when there is blood around.

=i get up and open the door to the other room=
See that girl out there?

"Yeah?"

I looked into the other room, looking at the woman.

"What about... Her?"

I could only assume the worst of course.

(Anton)

=I look to the new one=

What does your inner demon want you to do?

=I knew the answer to it, but let her answer it herself=

(S)
She's completely human, and asleep, vulnerable for you to feed on her. She won't stop you if you want to feed on her, take her blood from her and feed your demon.

=i leave the door open just enough for her to see her=
How does that make your inner demon, and you, feel?

Feeeed. Freeessssh.

"It wants me to... To... Feed."

It was horrible. That feeling. Not human. Not natural. Not right.

(S)
=i nod=
Natural.

=i slam the door closed so she can't see her anymore, just to jar her out of her demon's trance=
You'll need to work on that.

"How do I do that?"

I sat down on the bed, still not feeling in peak condition.

(Anton)

=I look at her=

Focus your mind elsewhere...distract it with other thoughts.

=I try to smile=

(S)
Or just come to an understanding with it. That's what I did with mine.

"Oh."

To be honest, fighting back this inner demon wasn't the on the top of my concerns. My main concern? I didn't know. Just... There were several things just bouncing around in my head.

(S)
=i all but smack myself when I realize something=
You have a job and family and friends, don't you.

"Well... Yeah."

I look at the vampire who asked.

(S)
Right, right. Shit...uhm. You're going to have to leave them behind.

"What?! I can't just 'leave them behind'!"

I kept seated, slightly annoyed at his comment.

(S)
You have to! You can't live with them naturally any more, and if you try you're just going to outlive them, and watch them all die.

"Or what? Not live with them, and watch them die from a distance? As I live till however old?"

I stood up.

(S)
You won't grow old. You'll stay about this same age until someone finally kills you.

"Well that's just great. You know what, I'm going."

I began to make my way to the door, knowing it was generally a bad idea, but I didn't really care.

(S)
You don't know what kind of world you've been thrown into right now. There are things and people out there that will try to kill you, for no better reason than because you are what you are. Without our help, you will most likely be murdered, butchered, and lost forever.

"I'm lost forever as it is."

I open the door, still going on with this... Idea.

(S)
=i close the door with one hand=
But do you want to live?

"I... I don't know."

I stood, facing the door, not turning to face him.

(S)
If you do, come back here. Or call this number.

=i grab a pen and scrap piece of paper to write down my cell number and name, handing it to her=
If you don't, stay out. Death will find you soon enough.

"Okay..."

I decide to.. Give up.

"Can I stay here, then?"

(Anton)

=I smile, chuckling lightly=

I don't see why not?

=I look to Seln=

Unless the host has any objections to this
