Coughing (any friend)

Gabriella stuck out her tongue. "Oh, quite the opposite," she replied, smiling a bit. At least Angel was alright now and everything could go back to normal. Gabriella didn't know what she would do if her venom had killed Angel.

[calcetines]

"Really?" Angel said. "It must be strange..." Well, wasn't their little family all messed up? A vampire and a werewolf all in one gene pool! She felt completely worn out, like it was the end of a very chaotic week.

[igloogirl]

"Strange, horrible, satisfying, how ever you want to think about it," Gabriella replied. "Makes me feel like a monster every time I have blood. Which is every week, so as you could guess, I do feel like a monster a lot."

[calcetines]

Angel gave a small laugh, but it did not help her condition, it made a pain in her head surge and her stomach churn. In spite of the fact all she could muster was a meager chuckle. "You most certainly are not a monster." Angel said. "You're just different."

[igloogirl]

"Different, right," Gabriella replied. "If the whole world thought that way, maybe I would too. Jasmine tried to convince me too. I know you're both right, but I still feel like a monster sometimes." Gabriella ran a hand through her long hair, sighing slightly.

"Well at least you don't turn into some rabid, flea-filled mutt with every moon cycle." Angel said, grinning. She hated transforming, even with the potion, it still hurt like nothing Angel could describe. Worse than swallowing a whole bottle of Skele-Grow, not that Angel had done it before.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella shook her head, a very small smile coming across her pale face. At least she had Angel to joke around with her about their strange problems. "That is a valid point," she replied. "But you still have you mind with the help of that potion."

[calcetines]

Angel nodded slightly. "Yes, this is true. But you never really know what it's like until that moonbeam hits you." she said, giving a small shudder. The sensation was so painful, so horrible, there were not any words that could exist to describe it.

[igloogirl]

"We really need to stop thinking about these things," Gabriella replied, suppressing a shudder herself. "Think of something happy we can talk about." Gabriella thought hard, but there hadn't been a whole lot of happy things going around lately. Mostly just problems.

[calcetines]

"You and Isaac." Angel said, giggling. She felt giddy, like a little school girl discussing her crush with her best friend. "When are you going to talk to him?" she asked, small smile forming on her lips. They were a cute couple, Isaac was aching without Gabriella, Angel could see it in his eyes.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella rolled her eyes. This wasn't exactly what she had been going for. "I don't know," she replied, with a small sigh. "I guess whenever I see him, and he's not surrounded by a crowd of his friends."

[calcetines]

All right then, wrong answer. Angel was at a loss for what to say, but she figured Gabriella was getting irritated with the topic at hand. That was the last thing she wanted. "Things are getting really serious between Wolfgang and I." she said, feeling weary, like she needed a nap.

[igloogirl]

Gabriella smiled. Angel had chosen a good one this time. Gabriella was always happy to talk about Angel's love relationship. "Really?" she asked, her sharp eyes focusing back on her cousin. "He seems really good for you Ang, really good."

[calcetines]

"It's so-" Angel began, then paused. She was unable to think of a word to describe that could possibly begin to describe what she and Wolfgang shared. Their bond grew stronger everyday, Angel couldn't imagine life without him. "Amazing." she finished. "It's like there was part of me that was missing, but I've found it, I found it in him."

[igloogirl]

Gabriella smiled. That sounded truly nice and romantic. Like a happy ending, except she didn't think the ending to this story had come quite yet. "That's so sweet," Gabriella replied, her voice softer than normal. "And that sounds very nice too."
