Never fading ||(ᴀᴘ)

LITTLE ANNOUNCEMENT!! 

     Honestly, I feel guilty over having so many blogs (despite my love for giving each a voice on its own via themes and stuff), my guilt comes from leaving them a little inactive while I’m working on drafts somewhere else and I feel the necessity of blog jumping all around o.o which, all in all, is fun! But exhausting. So… due to this and that I’ve been lured by plenty of muses lately (because I’m crazy) I think this is the best. 

    I’ll be moving Izak, Adam (& Sage) to a multi-muse for  better management, to be joined by a few other muses later.  I haven’t thought of a final url but once I have it I’ll let you all know :)

Her dark eyes turned to look at him.  He didn’t think she was crazy.  The man next to her looked similar to Adam, but it wasn’t Adam.  Not entirely.  This one was calculated – more so than Adam seemed to have the capacity for; not that it was a bad thing.  

“No, it doesn’t bother me that you feel different.  You are someone that I care about – one of my best friends, and so, no matter what, I’m here.”  Lei turned, sitting sideways on the couch so that she could face Adam head on.  “Being observant is a side effect of people watching.”  She reached out, lightly squeezing his hand.  “I’m glad you’re fine though…I am.  Will you tell me one day what the difference is?  I won’t scare easy.  Promise.  I’m tougher than I look.”  Lei giggled, softly, at herself over that.  

She had grown to care about Adam – more than she had planned to when they met by chance.  It would take a great deal for her to ever abandon him.

Had she noticed the difference already? Something in her stare told him so, unlike Adam he was not that observant when reading people. In fact, the reporter had more empathy towards everyone than the vampire did, so not fully understanding her concern gets Sage impatient. 

Care about and best friend, those were key words he had been waiting on. If he were to do something –just a little bite– would Adam get mad? Weren’t they supposed to share? Fangs itched at his gums but her touch definitely bewildered him.  

The door opened, and Lei felt the hairs on the back of her neck stand on end.  “Thanks.  Did I wake you?”  She asked, holding on to the strap of her bag as she walked into Adam’s place, turning to look at him.  “I – “  Oh, now that she was here, the nerves were started to eat at her, twisting her stomach into knots that made her feel like she might be sick.

“I have a question…and if it’s strange, just – let’s say it’s my lack of sleep making me see things.”  Lei rambled, pulling out her sketch book, holding it to her chest.  “I was going through my sketches and photos, and I noticed something…sometimes, you look…different?  Not yourself.  I don’t know what it is.  I guess it’s been on my mind since the other day with the cookies..”  She shook her head, sitting down.  Adam had explained that strange day off as him being tired, but Lei was still concerned for her friend.

Lei looked up at him, brow furrowing.  “Like right now, something feels different.  Am I just going crazy, Adam?”  She asked, looking up at him.  “I’m worried about you.  I am, and I don’t want to pry, but I – “  Lei pulled out one page she had printed out with two photos on it.  To her, they seemed vastly different.  One was colder, a little harsh around the edge; while the other was the gentle, warmth that she had come to associate with Adam.

“See?  I don’t know…maybe I just need sleep…”  

❛ No at all, I was awake when you knocked. ❜  Following, in a rather passive and painfully slow pace Sage’s narrowed eyes keep on studying her after having closed the door. Tasty little thing, he sniffed and the scent of her blood made his mouth water. Not NOW, not so SOON, waiting was in order not to be caught, at least until he got a hint of who she was, or her name at least.
