"I thought you'd be the only one." Hannah admitted. "But I just don't see how I can live after John is gone."
"I'd like that." Hannah said, her cheeks still pink.
"With you." Hannah said quietly.
Hannah's cheeks flushed. "I-it's hard not to. I don't really know what else to think. But things are more bearable with...." She trailed off. "Nevermind."
"I am what I am now because of that." Hannah said quietly. "I never thought anything bad would happen in our quiet little town...." She watched the ground pass beneath them. "I'm sorry about your family. I don't really know what happened to my parents or Frodo.... I don't think I ever will." She pushed the thoughts away. "I'm sure if Van Helsing asked those people, they'd only say that we all deserve to die.... It doesn't matter though, not really. If I have to die to make sure John is gone... then fine... I accept that." The sun started to rise and Hannah turned her head away. "No one'll miss me anyway, and I'm sure Van Helsing will be happy to have one less vampire to worry about." OOC: phailed!!
It's Loooong!!! (and Epic) "I want to tell you." Hannah assured Edward; and partially herself too. "It started with a letter. I was warry to open it at first because I didn't recognize the hand writing. Of course, now I wish I never had. Anyway, I did open and read it. About half way through, I looked to the bottom to see who had written it; there was no name, it just said 'a good friend'. Whoever had written it knew a lot about me, everything in fact. They knew where I lived, what time I went out and for what reasons... it was scary. Despite my fears, I wrote back, without telling my parents." Her voice faltered at the last word. Shaking it off, she continued. "We lettered back and forth for a while and eventually, my fears ebbed away. It seemed like I knew this person inside and out, even though I'd never met them and didn't know their name. The letter that made me the most unsure of all this, was the one that asked for a meeting. I got it right after I had taken Frodo, my Irish shepard, for a walk. I was really nervous, but after all that we'd written back and forth, I felt like I did want to meet this person. I was so naive that I didn't think anything could go wrong. When the time came, I told my parents that I was going to take Frodo on a longer walk than usual. It was a bit more securing knowing that I had Frodo with me....." Her voice starting shaking at the memories and she tried steadying it before continuing. "When Frodo and I arrived at the place mentioned in the letter, it was getting dark. There was only one other person there, so I assumed that it was whoever wrote with me. Frodo starting barking like crazy, so I tied him to a tree so he wouldn't bite the person." She ran her hands through Sorin's mane to distract herself. "John... was the one I'd be writing with for so long. We talked for about an hour until Frodo finally settled down. And after that... well, it happened." Hannah paused for a while. "I don't remember much after that... and I haven't seen Frodo since."
Hannah nodded. "It's a long ride... I could tell you now... if you want." She said, though she hoped Van Helsing wouldn't over hear. OOC: carl is the bestest friar ever :inlove:
Hannah gave a wry smile. "Yeah, I know about the dark." She watched Sorin's head bob as he walked. "Bad joke...." OOC: YAY FOR CARL!!!!! :D
"I really do want to tell you things, Edward." Hannah said, sobering once they started riding. "I just don't know how to say it."
Gerard is sooo much better :inlove:
A tear dropped quietly on Sorin's mane. "John is a vampire." Hannah confirmed. "I said that I hadn't seen the face of the vampire that... that bit me, but I lied." She fought hard to keep her voice from quavering. "I want to be the one to kill John... but I can't...." Her voice broke on the last word. "I can't do anything I want to around him." She released Sorin's mane to wipe her eyes.
Dai paced her room, arms folded. "Worrying about that little rat?" Megumi asked, not really caring at all. "Shut up." Dai snapped. "Wiz is not a rat."
"Edward," Hannah murmured, trying to ignore the new werewolf. "Earlier, with John, you acted as though you... didn't care about me anymore. Like I was just another monster... something you hated...." She gripped Sorin's mane. "At that moment, you really did hate me... didn't you?" "My lord," Aleera fought to keep her voice steady as she addressed Dracula. "Surely your intentions for Hannah Rose have changed after... what happened." Sehwas saddened about Verona and Marishka, but more than that, she wanted someone dead to lessen the pain, even if it was only by a little.
Wizard danced around, watching his reflection do the same as him. "Kyuu!" Kairuto chuckled. "Wizard, it's just a mirror."
Hannah was about to suggest that she and Jinx could fly, but she caught herself; wanting to be with Edward. "Yeah, I suppose that'll work."
Hannah looked at Edward at the last of the list. "I can't go in a church." She whispered.
"Find someone who does." Hannah said quietly. "Someone who has or whose family has good information on Dracula."
Hannah shook her head. "I don't." She lowered her eyes. Even if I did, it would only be because I was stuck there....
"I'm guessing his home." Hannah replied, grateful for Edward's help.
Hannah was quivering and she thought she might be sick. "Edward," After all that had happened, and being so close to blood but denying it to herself, she was a bit overwhelmed. "Can we just... go outside...?"
