Shoving(open)

[neigh101]

Laura walked past the ice cream parlor. She loved ice cream. She really wanted some but she knew she wouldn't get any. Then she spotted a small puddle of melting ice cream on the ground. She knelt down and began scooping it up with her hands and shoving it into her month. Her hands were ice cold but it was so good and she was so hungry. Someone passed by. It was...

It was Raychel. She was wearing a simple pair of nice black slacks, a light pastel pink blouse that was surprisingly lovely against her pale vampire skin. She had a spell cast upon her eyes, making them the warm milky brown the used to be, but there were still flecks of green in them. Have to perfect that. she thought with a small smile. Draped over her arm was her Fortiscue's apron. She had just finished her shift at the ice cream store and was heading to her home. That's when she smelt the girl.

Raychel turned and looked inquisitively at the little girl on her hands and knees, lapping up a muddy puddle of what looked like strawberry ice cream. Raychel cocked her head, her heart (or the place her dead heart was located) was hurting in sorrow. The poor child must've been homeless. Raychel took a couple of powerful, determined strides, then kneeled by the girl. "Honey, come with me. I can get you some real ice cream."

"No" she said, quickly. She hatted accepting hand outs. They made her feel guiltily. "You don't have to do that. This is fine." It was more then fine for her but if you went back a few years it wouldn't have been. Things can really change.

Raychel shook her head, not feeling right about accepting that. "It's no trouble, really. I work at Fortiscue's, see?" she replied, showing the girl her apron. "Really, it's no trouble. I just don't need you getting sick honey. Now, come." she spoke slowly and sweetly. She held out her hand to the little girl. "I'm Raychel. And what's your name? Come on, I won't bite." Raychel smiled. She was laughing at the irony of the statement inside, but, she wouldn't dare bite a child. She smiled a bit more persistently. "Really darling, come with me. It's the least I could do." Raychel offered once more.

"I won't get sick" she said, her hands shaking from the cold. "I eat food off the ground all the time and I don't get sick." She wasn't even lying except that it wasn't all the time. She didn't find food that often.

Raychel's eyebrow rose in curiousity, but she didn't reply. Her mind briefly wondered why the girl didn't have a proper place to stay. Raychel went from her current crouching position to sitting next to the girl. The sidewalk area was dirty, but she wasn't concerned about filth right now. "So darling, I never learned your name. What is it?"

[neigh101]

"Laura" she answered. There was vary little ice cream left on the ground and she couldn't scoop it all up with her fingers and hands so she lend over and started licking it off the ground. She didn't mind the dirt and whatever els was on the ground.

"Nice to meet you sweetie."Raychel replied with a smile. She produced her wand and with a quick flick and nonverbal spell, two waffle cones piled high with ice cream flew out of the back door of Fortiscue's. She took the one with chocolate ice cream and began to casually lick it. "This one's yours if you want." She replied in between licks. Raychel had to stop herself from gagging as she ate, for the chocolate didn't taste good. Sometimes being a vampire was awful.

Nervously, Laura reached out and took the ice cream cone. She licked it, slowly. I was so good. Munch better than the ice cream from the ground. She used to have ice cream all the time but this was her 1st ice cream cone in months. Ice cream had never tasted so good.
