“Why am I often in a bad mood? Oh the usual,life, lack of sleep,idiots,all of the above”

“If only time could be on your team, right? Don’t let them bring you down.”

“You came here to tell me that, or Is that the way you get attention? Let’s not waste time here and just tell me what is up”

“You were the one who came to me asking if you could help me. Clearly I’m just being annoying, so I will leave.”

“Can I help you with anything?”

“I’m not sure you can help me... I think no one can.”

“ How did you get through it? I’m not trying to pry, but I know everyone is different and has their own ways of dealing with this life” Reed asked always wanting to learn how to manage who he was. “ . We might not age, but parts of us always die. I have someone. Well a couple people.I honestly thank you or the offer though. “ Reed said with a smile. It was true though. He had Vanessa and Tiffany. Even Francis was still helping,even if his roommate had been MIA. 

“The hard way. Killing until the urge to control myself was bigger than the desire of having more blood.” Lydia enjoyed being in control of her own life, it was more about the fact of knowing how to torture her prey than the desire of sparing their lives. The vampire kepts her smile though the fact he had ditched her help didn’t make her happy. “It’s not a problem. I’m sure they will be able to help you more than I would. After all... I’m just this old teenage vampire, what would I know?”

“Why?” She played innocent, not being able to get her eyes off him, desiring not much but to make him pay for forcing her to be a vampire, for everything he had done to her. “Because you killed our parents? Or because you turned me into a vampire? Or... because you fled?”

“You sound like you know your jewelry,” said Carter as he stole one more glance at the necklace that she now possessed before meeting her eyes once again. “As I see you’re wearing plenty.”

“I love them. What girl in this world wouoldn’t appreciate one?” She smiled at him with a light shrug. “Diamonds are girl’s best friend.”

“ I think I’m in the camp of more bad than good”

“If you don’t mind me asking... why’s that?”

“I’m sorry to hear about that.” It sounded like Leo had turned her against her will, but there was no way Vanessa could have known it for sure just by looking at the petite blonde. “Actually, for a few years… my life was quite lovely. I had the world in my hands. But that changed when he decided I was no longer useful to him. By some miracle I was able not to convince him not to kill me… I’ve been running ever since.”

“He did this? I’m so sorry about it.” It sounded like Leo, not her brother, but the Leo she had met before and had killed their parents. It didn’t make her surprised, only the fact the woman was still alive which deep down made her think if Vanessa was more important than she had ever been for him. “You don’t need to run from him. Not while I’m around.”

“I am aware of the war that’s being held in Moon Island and I wanted to know how dangerous it’s not to be part of it. If neutrals, as I’ve heard we are called by, become an easier target as if we were forced to choose a side.” She kept the innocent look as her eyes moved to meet the head priestess. “And what your coven has to offer.”

“Leo.” The name escaped her lips as she heard the noise that was his voice coming from the room right next to where the one she was. She could feel anger building up. It was a moment she had expected for such a long time that she was unsure about she would react. The man who once was her brother, who was able to ruin her entire life was at the same small town she had chosen to be in. Moving herself, she couldn’t even be able to look at him but so she did. “Hello, brother.”

Brother. Leo had a family, after all. One that he hadn’t bothered informing Vanessa of, but she guessed that was just—Leo. “I don’t suppose he’s mentioned me? Vanessa. Well… I’m Vanessa now. I used to be Veronique. Either way, it’s… It’s really nice meeting you, Lydia. I didn’t even know he had a sister.”

“We don’t talk. Ever since he decided to turn me, so yes... I’ve never heard about you before. And it also seems like I don’t have a brother.” It was hard to make the bitter tone disappear from her voice, so she allowed teary eyes to come along with it. “Did he turn your life into a hell as well? 

“ It’s been a nightmare to be entirely honest” Reed replied with humor to his voice even if it was no laughing matter. He was constantly lost about what to do and it was impossible to hide the voices in his head that made him think he giving into any of his urges were good. “ You’re welcome. That’s nice though to have people like that. You believe in the concept of forever’s? I had no one at first when I was turned so I was….well I am a mess”

“I apologize for it, as I know what’s like being alone through the whole process... I wouldn’t wish it for anybody.” She showed sympathy, something that had never been in fact part of herself, it was just her way of luring people to her side. “I don’t think we will be dying anytime soon. Immortality is an interesting concept, though we are still deadly, we are a challenge to life and death. If you need someone to guide you through it all, I can help you. I’ve helped Ryan all this time.” Shaping Ryan the way she wanted him to be, her helps would always come with a price.

“You are Castalia, right? Castalia Valiente? I’ve heard about you, my name is Lydia and I wanted to talk to you about your coven.”

“ No problem. I’d say anytime, but I’m not always in as great of a mood”

“We all have our bad and good days, it’s completely understandable.”

His blood wasn’t sweet, which was exactly what she always looked for. She knew it was a matter of time until he tried to fight for his life, Lydia was used to the struggle and she would eventually drain her victim’s blood, finding a way to get rid off he body or making Ryan do such thing before she shared some of the person’s blood with him, but this time it was different. She had seen a little bit of Ryan in him, the human had the same vibration towards life and for a brief moment she thought that maybe with the right tricks he could be one more of her followers, creating an army for herself until she was able to defeat her brother later. As the thought came to her head and his grasps reached her ear, Lydia moved her fangs always, cleaning the blood that was sliding down his throat and moving it between her fingers. “Hey, hey.... not yet.” She looked at him, right into his eyes as she let a smile play on her lips. “Look at me. You won’t remember I fed off you, just that we danced and it was fun. We might meet each other again for more entertainment, it was nice meeting you, stranger.” Using some of her blood to heal the wound on his neck, she kept her eyes on him all the time, hoping he had been indeed compelled to forget. “So, what happened tonight?”
