m o n s ter (Levi)

[broadway]

Raychel impatiently tapped her fingers against her leg. She was still in the hosptial after her battle with Isabelle. She felt bad about not telling Levi, but she was scared. She was a monster, and she was worried Levi would be scared of her. Her eyes were glinting an unnatural burgendy. She hated the color, but until she could be released, she would be drinking the blood stashes in the hospital.

Raychel was still hungry. But, of course, she couldn't help it. She was an unruly newborn still. Luckily, she had engorged herself. It would take much self-control to keep from biting Levi, but she could manage. The door opened slowly and she perked up. Hopefully everything would work out...

Levi slipped in, he hadn't seen Raychel in a while and it was unnerving him as they were of the same year and house. He, like the rest of the school had no idea, but when he was finally allowed in to see Raychel, he was immensely relieved. Levi closed the door and stopped dead, her eyes were burgundy, he made the instant mental connection, but wasn't afraid. He sat on the bed beside Raychel with a smile, wand out. "You might want to cover those up," said Levi, and then performed a spell aloud that changed her eyes to brown. Not the same as they had previously been, but at least it was close.

Raychel did not meet Levi's gaze. He smelled sweetly, but her stomach was doing flips. She saw the way he looked at her, heard his pulse race. She looked down at her hands. "I should have run Levi." Was all she could say. She wasn't sure if she wanted to tell Levi the truth just yet. Maybe she could avoid to whole truth for at least a few more minutes. She finally had the courage to look up into Levi's eyes. If she could produce tears, she would.

Levi, in thinking that Raychel meant she should have left Hogwarts behind, shook his head. In the back of his mind, there was the nagging that his girlfriend was a new vampire and at any second could lose control completely, he would be cautious until he knew Raychel could keep her thirst in check. "No, no you shouldn't have," said Levi.

((OOC: Urgh, could you pretty please read the thread about vampires?))

[broadway]

Raychel could tell that Levi was nervous. She hastily got up from the bed and walked across the room, away from him. She was still in her bloodstained attire, for she had refused the robe. "Don't be afraid of me." She whispered, anger rising in her voice. She was furious at the monster she had become. And it was all her own fault. She was too careless, she knew Isabelle would come after her. Raychel turned and screamed, punching her fist against the wall. It left a fairly large dent in the cement, but Raychel ignored it.

((OOC: I have, at least three times! If I'm doing something wrong, it isn't specifically stated in the rules.))

Levi jumped when Raychel slammed her fist in the wall, he watched the dust float around in the air, the little chips of plaster crumbling to the floor. "I'm not afraid," said Levi, standing up, but leaving the space between them. Raychel had created the gap, she could close it when she was ready. He understood barriers. Levi himself knew two vampires, but there wasn't anything wrong with being cautious around a newborn that had yet to learn to keep her thirst in check.

Raychel looked up, meeting Levi's gaze. Her eyes were fierce, tempermental. A small flame flickered behind them, one that wasn't present before. Blood-thirsty, merciless, revenge. And she was going to have it, one way or another. She redirected her gaze to the floor. "How can you still be here. I'm a monster, I'll only hurt you." She replied quietly.

[imadecoy]

"That may be true," said Levi, ignoring his knowledge about boundaries and taking a step forward. "But it's a risk I'm willing to take. My love for you isn't going to change." Levi still kept his wand out, in case if Raychel were to suddenly spring, he knew enough about newborn vampires to know their behaviour could be quite random and fast-changing.

[broadway]

Raychel met his gaze steadily. She smiled weakly, sweetly. So he did still love her, that wasn't changing. She could never stop loving him. But being a vampire was goin to change a few things. She took a small step forward, then hastily stepped back again. One step would turn into five, which would turn into a bounding leap, which would lead to Levi's death. She wouldn't be able to live if she knew she killed her love.

[imadecoy]

Levi took a few steps closer, but in sensing that Raychel was uncomfortable with it, left the space between them at that. His eyes didn't leave hers for a second. The Raychel that Levi knew was still in there, he could see it, it would just take time and coaxing to get her back out again, that was all. No matter how long that path may be, Levi was going to see to it that his girlfriend would get there, regardless if it hurt him.

Raychel watched Levi warily. She wanted so desperately to embrace him, so desperately to run to him. She put her hand up, placing her index and middle finger to her lips. She then held out her two fingers to Levi, stretching her arm out wide, as if in salute. "I love you." She whispered, smiling softly. She turned and walked across the room, where the Blood Crate was kept. With her back turned to Levi, she opened a bag. She downed it quickly, not leaving a drop. She threw the empty bag aside then turned back, walking towards Levi. She stood mere feet away now, watching him.

[imadecoy]

"Oh would you stop that?" said Levi. He finally closed the gap and put his arms around Raychel, she felt different, firmer, and cooler. Not cold, just not warm as she had used to be. Levi stood there a long while, and then finally released Raychel. He took several steps backward to restore their boundary, if it were to be closed again, it would be on her terms.

[broadway]

Raychel hugged Levi gently, hesitantly. His smell was overwhelming and she had to take a few staggering steps backward afterwards. She watched him in silence once more before taking a risk. She closed the gap once more and placed her lips against Levi's gently. She held the urge she was having to tear him to shreds. Around him, it wasn't so hard to control herself. She stepped back and smiled gently.

[imadecoy]

The lips upon his felt foreign, almost as if it wasn't really Raychel, they were just so different, much more hesitant, far too cautious to feel normal. But all the same, Levi welcomed the gesture. His brain slowly uncovered terrible things, what was going to happen as they aged? Vampires could be hundreds of years old, while he would only have until around eighty. What would people think when they saw an old man with a woman who looked no older than mid-twenties? Levi pushed the thoughts aside, not now, he wasn't going to let them rule his life.

[broadway]

Raychel had seemed to grow into an expert at reading emotions as of late. She could tell Levi was nervous, just by the way he kissed her back. When Raychel got a chance to study his face, she knew. "Nothing is going to change between us. Once I get under control it will be you and me, forever." She replied sternly. As she finished, Raychl bit her lip. She hoped that Levi would live a full life. When he died, Raychel would end her painfully long life to be with him. It was plain and simple.
