Dorien walked into the forest. He felt better in the cool night air. Cecelia had let him drink some of her blood, but he had pulled back long before his thirst was quenched in fear of hurting her. He looked around, his sences alert for any noise that he may hear* "Alright.....just...be very quiet..."

Her hand was in his, and she nodded, knowing he probably didn't see her. "What exactly are we looking for Dory?" she asked, coming up with a sweet nickname that only she was allowed to call him..or else. She wasn't sure what it was that he wanted to drink the blood from..

*He smiled in the dark, his teeth gleaming in the moonlight* "Um...well....anything bigger than a dog would be prefered.....actually...I'd like a lion." *He said, glancing over to see what her reaction would be* "That's my favorite."

Her eyes went wide in fear and she slammed into his side, wrapping one of his arms around her. "A lion? There are no lions in the forrest! Tell me there are no lions in here!" She was whispering the whole time as he had asked her to be very quiet, but she knew if she saw a lion she would either pass out or cry.

"There are unfortunatly no lions in the forbidden forest. It's far too cold." *He rubbed her side and started walking, guiding her along with him* "I wonder if there are any bears in here......I could settle for a bear if I Had to. A nice irritable grizzly would be perfection." *He said, looking at her out of the corner of his eye* "Still glad you came?"

Cecelia's eyes went suddenly very wide and nervous. "And there's no way you can just drink some more from me? I mean, I know you liked the taste.. It was good huh?" She slid an arm around him.

"No Cecelia. Don't worry....you'll be alright. I promise I won't let anything hurt you...." *He looked at her* "Don't worry Cecelia...you can trust me...." *He tried to keep her walking* "I'll settle for something smaller if it makes you feel safer"

She shook her head and walked beside him. "No, it's okay. I don't want you to be hungry, so do what you need to okay?" She looked around, hoping he spotted a bear before her so she didn't scream so loud it ran away from him.

*He smiled and walked with her for a few more moments before smelling something. His body went very tense and stopped, smelling the air. Dorien let go of her and crouched slightly, bearing his teeth*

((OOC Why do you take a week to type something and then type like, a sentance lol?))

Cecelia watched him and walked a few steps back, not wanting to get in the way of anything that was going to occur. This was fascinating to her though...She had always wanted to meet a vampire and now she was finally in the middle of a hunt...

ooc: I'm watching a movie, throwing the ball for my dog, talking to my mom, typing, and trying to think of a good way to write out vampire actions. gimme a break. lol


ic:



*Dorien could tell that it was a deer. A small one. Good something non-lethal. He was also glad he didn't have to tell delilah to get away from him. He hissed, which would probably sound frightning for ceceila, but he had compleatly forgotten her by this point. It wasn't far away so he bolted, running like only a vampire could. It was extreamly fast. He caught up to the deer soon enough and leapt, sinking his fangs into it's neck. He drank deeply, closing his eyes, savoring the taste*

((OOC: *Chuckle* I love that I'm Delilah AND Cecelia..))

Cecelia watched this and couldn't turn around. Her eyes were wide and plastered to him... The dear didn't even make the tiniest sound as he sucked the blood from him, so she wondered if it had passed out from fear first. She looked from the dear to Dorien, and then back and forth again.

*Dorien drank his fill and almost drinked it dry. He was loving the taste and hating himself to the very core of his being. When he was finished, he stood, the body of the deer dropping to the ground. It had died. He looked up to Ceceila with some blood still on his face. He wasn't moving, waiting for her reaction*

Cecelia took a few steps towards him when she noticed he was done. She smiled sweetly and reached for the bottom of her dress, not caring if she gave the world a show. Hey, it was dark outside anyway! She wiped the blood from his face and looked into his eyes. "Such a mess you silly boy."

*He smiled and reached up, wiping the blood that still remained on his mouth with his arm* "You're compleatly irrational. Most people would be scared and run away from the scary vampire and go the other way, but noooo not ceceila. She goes towards him. I tihnk that you need your head examined"

She giggled. "Maybe I do...But you told me you would protect me and that I wouldn't get hurt while I was out here with you. I trust you Dorien. I don't know how many times I have to repeat myself, but I do trust you." She rubbed her eyes, tired and shivering a little bit from the cold. "Are you still hungry?" she asked over her chattering teeth.

"No, I'm not." *He said, sliding an arm around her shoulder, feeling much better since he'd fed. His skin could almost pass off as normal if not warm.* "We can go inside now." *He said, rubbing her arm with his hand. He started to lead her out of the forest* "Are you alright?" *He asked agian fow what seemed to be the millionth time*

She rolled her eyes and stopped short, facing him. "I'm fine Dorien...You seem happier now. Almost normal." She giggled, joking to herself. "I appreciate you caring, but I'm fine. Just freezing cold. Ooh you're kind of warm..." She took his hands, both of them, and placed them on her ice-like face. "That feels nice..."

"Mmmm Hmm, it's a nice change, not being the freezing one for one." *He knew when they got inside and into the lights his eyes would be lighter and his skin would be a little less pale, not much, but his cheecks might be a little pink, and he would be smiling* "Me? Normal? Not a chance..."

A few trickles of ran suddenly hit her nose. She looked up, only just in time to see lightning. She hopped, a little startled. "We're too far from the castle. Let's go this way!" She took him by the hand and rushed for a few moments until they saw a little cabin. She opened the door and turned on the lights, only to reveal a nice little kitchen. "One of the teachers used to live here because he was uncomfortable around students, but he's gone now so I come in here sometimes." She shut the door and wrung out her hair.

*He looked aorund and then wrinkled his nose* "It smells funny in here...Can you smell it? I imagine my sence of smell is stronger than yours....." *He leaned against the counter in the kitchen, his face near the light. He smiled at her.* "Yeah, it's nice in here....." *The rain started to pick up and the sound on the roof was enchanting*

She nodded. "I like it! The bed is huge and I like to pounce on it like a trampoline..." She giggled, her face brightening up like a child. She licked her lips. "That does smell funny... We are in the middle of the woods you know, it could be any number of things." If Cecelia was cold before, now she was freezing. Her clothes were now sopping, and it was freezing in the log cabin. Wood wasn't exactly insulated.

She took him by the hand and tugged him to the couch. "Sit with me." She pushed him down and sat beside him, resting her wet face against his arm.

*He walked over and sat with her, still cautious to sit so close to her, but getting easier* "The more I'm around you, the more I get used to your smell.......it's getting a lot easire you know." *He felt how wet she was* "Are you cold?" *He was already reaching for a quilt for her*

"My smell?" she asked, slightly confused. "Oh the blood. I was lost for a minute... Well I'm glad. Just let me know if you need any more."

She nodded when he asked if she was cold and smiled in thanks, taking the quilt and wrapping it around both of them. "I'm freezing, and thank you." She closed her eyes, lifting one of his arms and sliding it around her. "You're not used to affection are you?" she asked, snuggling into him.

"Sorry." *He muttered* "I'm just....afraid I'll slip...." *He put his arm around her like she wanted. After a moment, he spoke, deciding to explain his statement* "Everyone has a different scent....you'res is particularly....appealing." *He paused, looking at her for her reaction before he continued*

She licked her lips, wondering how to take that statement. It seemed like a compliment and yet all she wanted was to giggle at him. "Thank you," she said, sweetly. She curled up against his side, gently pawing at him with harmless nails and yawning. "I'm rather sleepy...Are you?" she asked, unable to look up at him over her droopy eyelids.

*He sighed* "You know how you mentioned earlier that there's the thing with vampires and sleeping in coffins? We don't slep....at all...." *He looked down at her* "We can just,,,rest."

"Oh," she said with a nod. "That makes sense I guess.. You can't really die so not sleeping wouldn't kill you would it..." She sighed and tapped at her lips with one long finger. "Well people sleep, and before I can fall asleep, I need a kiss goodnight." She looked up at him, hoping he wouldn't be as awkward as before.

*Dorien leaned down to kiss her like she wanted. He paused and looked her in the eyes* "Be very sill....." *He leaned in and touched his lips to the base of her neck, slowly moving up , breathing in as he passed the side of his face over her neck and her ear and down her cheek bone and finally to rest on her lips. He puled back after a moment, smiling, obviously proud of himself* "I'm getting better..."

She giggled, then blushed a little bit. She bit her lower lip and felt the redness in her cheeks grow darker. "See, thanks a lot Dorien." She pouted, glaring slightly up at him. "Now I don't want to go to sleep anymore!" She chuckled to herself, feeling the flush in her cheeks calm a little bit. "Damnit..."

*He smiled and lay down on his back next to her. Dorien pulled the blanket off of himself and just put it around her* "I don't want to chill you. I know I'm cold. Are you any warmer?" *HE asked, guessing she may be judging from the blush in her cheeks*

She looked panicked and tossed the blanket back over him as well. "Body heat man!" she said, a little louder than she meant to. She hoped it wasn't too obvious that she just wanted to feel her body pressed into his. "Come on...Stay under here with me..." She leaned her cheek against his chest, hoping he wouldn't notice the bright red on her cheeks.

*He did of course see it and it made him smile.* "Hood my unmanned bloot bating in my cheeks, with thy black mantle." *He muttered, recalling a verse of shakespeare. He sighed and looked at her* "Sorry.........I like shakespeare...." *He murmered, a little embarassed*

She rolled her eyes. "I hope you know that I have absolutely no idea what the hell you're talking about." She giggled and poked at him. "Muggle nerd..." She looked up at him, a little nervous. "Well I know something that can warm me up really quickly." She nodded widely, then broke into a grin, no blush in sight.

"So what if I'm a muggle nerd..." *He muttered, kidding around. He sighed and looked at her* "Ummmm......a fire?" *He guessed, glancing aorund the small cabin for a place to make a fire or something*


ooc: sorry it took so long, my mom and I were laughing at something and she spit water all over the room. lol. I was laughing so hard I couldn't type...weak fingers. lol

She rolled her eyes. "You really are a stranger to affection aren't you?" She tugged him in her direction, kissing him again. She tugged the blanket closer around the two of them, trying to keep the body hear in. Her hands slid around to his back, sliding to attempt to touch but they didn't.

((OOC: Lol dweeb))

"Well I tihnk I have a legitimit reason to be honest with you. I've had to spend the last century alone with Simon." *He looked back at her and sighed* "I'm more than a little suprised you haven't been hounding me with questions. You were so persistant. Quite promising." *He pretended to be disspaointed*

She raised an eyebrow, both slightly disappointed that he had stopped the kissing and also confused. "Okay, who is Simon and why have you been with him the last hundred years? If I was stuck with one person that long I'm sure I'd kill them and if I couldn't, I'd do it anyway." She huffed. "And I stopped asking questions because I was HOPING you'd shut up and kiss me, keep me warm...But no!" She didn't have to pretend to be disappointed.

((OOC: NAppy-bye! What time will you be on tomorrow?))

ooc: uuuuuummmmm I dunno. I'm going shopping with my mom in the morning and then I have work at 4. So a little in the morning when I wake up and then in the afternoon before I go to work. fun fun fun.

ic:


"Simon is the person that found me when I was 17 and turned me into a vampire. I've had to live with him because it's easier that way....We watch out for one another." *He stopped speaking for a moment and thought. After about 10 seconds he blinked and looked at her* "I keep telling you this Ceceila, I don't want to push it. I'd much rather test the waters slowly..........I want to kiss you...I just don't know if I can yet." *He looked at her, obviously strained and struggling with some internal delema*

She nodded, wondering silently to herself if being turned into a vampire was a painful thing. She shook her head then looked up at him. Rolling her eyes with a chuckle, she said "I think you can but I'll be paitiant. It'll be difficult... I hate having to wait to get my way..but for you I'll wait." With a shiver from the cold, she leaned into him. She didn't have her wand handy, so she muttered a spell and pointed in the direction of a dirty, unused fireplace and it was suddenly ablaze.
