Roric

“Well, I guess barely alive is better than dead,right?” she asked putting her food container down. “Yeah, I guess so,why the library, if you don’t mind me asking?” she asked curious. It was a coincidence that she happened to be there so late at night. However, with everything this town was starting to show her, she didn’t quite believe in coincidences anymore. There had to be a reason for everything, probably, right?

The brunette looked up at from the chair she was sitting in. She had a mothering nature in her and she never knew why, but she couldn’t help but help people, especially those in need like him. She could tell he needed it but by the time he had thrown up there wasn’t much she could do. So instead, she got some water and sat watch to make sure he didn’t drown in vomit or something like that “hey, you’re Alive?” She asked. She worked there and was using one of the computers to do some extra research into the town when he had broken in, lucky for her, or him maybe? She handed him the water after finishing her snack.

The room was spinning slightly. Fluorescent lights glared angrily at Roric from above and made the throbbing in his head pound even harder against his skull. He squinted his eyes and turned to look around the room, realizing after a moment that he was in a library. Somehow he had broken into the library and fallen asleep on the carpeted floor next to the classic english literature section. Roric scrunched his nose as he realized that he was also lying next to a puddle of vomit. Not one of his finest moment.

“Fair enough.” Lorcan knew his vampires and how they could be, so he didn’t say another thing on the subject. “Can’t you smell her out? Surely you remember her smell?”

A heavy sigh heaved from Roric’s chest and he shrugged his shoulders, “Look just because I have an animal nose doesn’t mean I’m the best tracker out there.” He pinched the bridge of his nose, “I’m not a blood hound, y’know.” 

“Tick?” Lorcan laughed. “First time I’ve ever been called a Tick.” He rolled his eyes playfully about it. Some years ago, he would’ve pulled the Familiar’s spine out for such disrespect, but he reminded himself to be nice, for Lyall’s sake. “Right… right. Well, aren’t Familiar’s and Witches linked? Couldn’t you use that to find her?” The other being stark naked in front of him didn’t even make him blink.

Mackenzie couldn’t help but laugh at the male before stepping off of her own bar stool. The blonde raised an eyebrow as a smirk sat on her lips. “You don’t have to worry about me but what if you put your paws on me first,” she countered. “Still no paws on?” Kenzie raised her own pinky and linked it with his. “Promise I won’t take advantage,” she laughed softly.

A soft laugh fell from her lips again as she shook her head. “Well maybe not the last one,” she grinned before laughing again. “I don’t really do phones much, anyways. As for the address and creepy serial killer type, not even in the slightest. You know back when I was a child that was the only way to even get in contact with someone outside of writing a letter and sending it by horse.” Mackenzie quickly downed the rest of her drink before look over at the male again and nodding. “Yes, actually,” she chimed. “There’s a small lake a couple blocks from here.”

Lorcan stood back as he watched the other shift into a human form instead, much easier to communicate this way. “Your scent. As you already know, I’m a vampire… but I’m so much more than a simple vampire. Are you looking for someone?”

𝑜𝓅𝒽𝑒𝓁𝒾𝒶 𝓈𝓂𝒾𝓁𝑒𝒹 𝓌𝒾𝒹𝑒𝓁𝓎 as she reached for the salmon and, with the flick of her wrist, a pan appeared in her hand —— though she hesitated right after. “wait, do you WANT that cooked?”roric was in his tiger form after all. she did not want to assume what he preferred. “léonie is three years old.” which probably seemed odd to those who knew how old she was, but the witch neverplanned on having a child. as a matter of fact, the thought scared the living hell out of her, right until she held her daughter for the very first time and everything fell into place. “her father is a warlock, his name is josiah. you might remember him?” they met many centuries ago. “he is doing very well with her. i don’t believe he loves ANYTHING in this world as much as he loves that child.”

𝒶 𝑔𝑒𝓃𝓉𝓁𝑒 𝓁𝒶𝓊𝑔𝒽 chimed through the room when she heard his stomach rumble. “i supposeTHAT answers my question. follow me.” ophelia lead him toward the kitchen and she opened the fridge, stepping aside to let him see if there was anything to his liking. “her name is léonie. judging by the silence she is either sound asleep or out.” which would not be uncommon ; the witch learned to live with her current situation.

“You got me, huh,” she laughed, raising an eyebrow before flashing the bartender a smile in thanks and taking a sip of her drink. The blonde turned back to the male with a smile on her lips. “It’s a pleasure to meet you, Roric,” she nodded. “I’m Mackenzie but you’re more than welcome to call me Kenzie.” The original vampire tilted her head slightly as she set her drink down.”Well, that’s a shame because I’d love to get drinks with you again sometimes,” she stated before turning to look at the other man passed out on the floor laughing softly. “He does look rather comfortable,” she admitted.

Lorcan simply watched the tiger, he could hear his heart ramming against his chest and the blood rushing around his body in fear. Once upon a time, fear was like music to his ear, he loved to make people fear him but these days? there was no use for it other than hunting of course.

“Okay, is there some way you can communicate with me at all? You seem to be able to understand me.” He peered at the tiger again. “Are you a Familiar?”

A small laugh left her lips as she looked over at the male, blue eyes sparkling softly. “Well I have always been a cat lover,” she admitted.”They actually cuddle with you.” Mackenzie’s eyes moved to the bartender as the male waved him open and then spoke to him before she looked back at Roric. “Oh no,” she laughed again. “I don’t mind at all. I’d probably curse myself later if I turned down a drink from a handsome fella like yourself.”

𝒾𝓉 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝓈𝓉𝓇𝒶𝓃𝑔𝑒 𝒽𝑜𝓌 𝓈𝒾𝓁𝑒𝓃𝓉 𝒾𝓉 𝓌𝒶𝓈, but that was not the only thing that sent a SHIVERdown her spine. the nights were getting so much colder now and she tightened her cape ( oldfashion habits died hard ) before she placed her fingertips on roric’s back again, almost as if she needed to feel his warmth to convince herself that this was REAL.

ophelia was so lost in her own thoughts that she DID NOT listen in on his —— she only focused on him to give him a light smile when they made it to her country estate. “here we are. it is much smaller than the chateau in france, but i like how cozy it is.” not that it lacked size or beauty ; it was a wonderful place, one that she could easily call HOME. she unlocked the door and let him walk inside, lights flickering on with a wave of her hand. “are you hungry?” the witch almost seemed NERVOUS when she asked, it had been so long since he left and she didn’t want to screw this up.“i could prepare something for you.”

“That’s very kind of you,” she laughed softly, glancing over and offering the male a soft smile. Sure she looked like she had been talking to herself but in her defense, the bartender had been there like 2 seconds ago. The blonde shook her head gently, a laugh falling from her lips again. “Cold feet,” she stated in more of a questioning tone before sighing. “No, he was kind of a pig when I met him but I thought hey, why not give him a chance. Then I took a look back at all the men I’ve been with and well… I don’t have the best track record, I suppose.”

𝒾𝓉 𝓌𝒶𝓈 𝓃𝑜𝓉 𝒹𝒾𝒻𝒻𝒾𝒸𝓊𝓁𝓉 to understand how surprised he was ; ophelia could FEEL it, almost as if it came from her and not him. “i will explain everything.” a quiet sigh escaped her, but she gave his head another gentle rub. “and there is just the one.” though she could only imagine that léonie would squeal like there were ten of them when she saw roric. perhaps she would just sleep through tonight. give them some time. “yes.” the witch mumbled, finally straightening her posture. “let us go home. it’s not far from here.” but secluded and big enough for him to choose his form —— almost as if she had been waiting for his return all along.

The world was quiet as they moved through the night. The crickets and the frogs were hushed in complete awe as they witnessed; most likely for the very first time, a tiger and a witch weaving through the treeline. Roric pressed himself lightly against her leg and slowed his long stride to match her pace. He felt more at peace next to her than he had in the last three hundred years.
