summer sternfeld

[ sydney sweeney. 20/55. female ] was that just SUMMER STERNFELD, I saw walking down the streets of New Orleans? The HERETIC is known to be FRIENDLY, but SHE could also be APATHETIC and can be best described by SHOPPING AT THE MALL, BLOOD IN CHAMPAGNE GLASSES, SILVER SHIMMER .

“Oh I’m so sorry. That must have been so hard to deal with,” Tessa said, genuinely feeling pain for what the young woman was feeling. She gently hugged her, hoping that she was okay with that. “You two must have really been in love. And you respected her decision, which is very good.”

“I just...I just hate that she was taken away from me.” Summer said as she sighed, taking in the hug from the other. It had been so long, almost 50 years. But she felt those emotions so heavily from that long ago. “AIDS is horrible. It’s taken so many lives from me.”

“They just weren’t ready to admit that I was better than they could ever hope to be,” Kai said, shoulders straightening just a touch as he did. Because he was, wasn’t he? Not bothered by pesky things like guilt or love - he could do whatever he wanted, when he wanted, without having to waste time thinking about what sort of effect it had on other people. “I didn’t. Say my name, that is.” His head canted to the side just a touch, before he was offering a simple, “I’m Kai.”

“Kai Parker.” Summer said with a smile as she realized who he was. “I had a feeling it was you, I used to babysit you. Your parents dropped you off at my mom’s house when they went to Gemini meetings in the city because I was a siphoner too.” 

Tessa had been out for a run, something she had taken up years ago and was finally getting back into. She vaguely recognized the girl on the pier, crying and so distraught. She jogged over, putting a gentle hand on her shoulder. “What happened? Who are you talking about?”

Summer sniffled as she felt the hand on her shoulder. “Emma, my girlfriend, my first love. She died, she got sick. I couldn’t do anything about it, turning her would be too cruel. Not unless she asked me for it. I don’t blame her for not wanting it, no spell could help her either. A true cancer, a virus.”

That emotional vulnerability and sensitivity hit her like a brick wall when she woke up in the morning. Summer felt weak, hopeless, defeated. Memories rushing in of members of her chosen family and community being sick, dying in the street, she was 25 again. Her first love had just died in her arms. Running onto the pier, to look out at the sea, the sun reflecting on it, she burst into tears. “Emma!” Taking deep breaths in between teary cries, she closes her eyes. “No!” Holding her stomach, she felt like she had been stabbed. “They’re gone. They’re dead, a slow, painful death.”

Rebekah was surprised by Summer’s bold moves but not shocked, Summer was much alike her, good at the flirting game; but Rebekah invented the game. She let out a small laugh after the other did the little trick with the champagne from her lips, Rebekah’s eyes now focusing strictly on Summer’s pinkish plump lips. “Well, let’s just say you have my full attention, love.” one brow instantly lifted as her hand that was previously in Summer’s hair was now sliding down, pushing her long hair back and exposing the neck, then going down to her shoulder and then sides, eventually reaching Summer’s waist. Her other hand followed as they both locked around Summer’s middle, pulling her even closer than before, with one quick move. There was no more space left in between them, Rebekah towering before Summer as their faces were so close now, it took an actual effort not to kiss. But instead, the blonde tilted her head, digging into Summer’s neck and leaving kisses all over it before lifting her face back up and pressing her lips gently onto Summer’s, for a quick second. “You’re absolutely adorable, now come join me in the hot tub?” 

Just as she intended, Rebekah was in her grasp. When she felt the kisses being placed all over her neck, she closed her eyes and smiled a bit, letting out a little moan. When the other quickly kissed her lips, Summer opened her eyes again. “I’m right behind you, don’t worry.” 

Summer had found out through the grapevine that there were more heretics than just her and Avalon here, another old one. “So, I heard you’re like me.”

An overly dramatic, happy gasp escaped Kai’s lips - though it was more artificial than anything else. “This is the best news I’ve heard all week. Other than, you know, the whole ‘hey you’re not dead’ thing, which I guess wouldn’t count because no one actually told me, I just sort of figured it out-” Shut up, Kai. “The last of us I was around ended up very, very dead, for the most part, so I’m enjoying the whole ‘not the only one’ thing we’ve got goin’ on here for me.”

Someone else like her? He must be a Gemini then, Summer hadn’t heard of anyone else that was a siphoner, let alone a heretic other than Avalon. “Another Gemini reject then, huh?” This man seemed familiar, she couldn’t quite pinpoint it. “What did you say your name was?” Listening to him talk, she kept getting closer to getting who he was, but it was on the tip of her tongue. “I’m Summer.”

She was feeling hot - and Winter had to force herself to take a breath and calm down, fearful of making a complete and utter fool of herself in front of the other, her head cocking to the side just a touch. “That is-” She swallowed thickly. “I would probably say that no, I haven’t.” God, was she even making sense? She wasn’t entirely sure - and more afraid of admitting that than anything else. “Are you… always like this?”

Summer chuckled in a low tone, amused with the other’s answer, having it fall right where she wanted it to. “Well...I can make sure that you finish every meal.” The blonde said as she moved closer to the other, looking down at her lips. “Not always, just when I really want something.” Her eyes moved up to look at hers. “Or someone.”

A pink hue spread over Winter’s cheeks when the other female spoke, tiny yelp being swallowed down in an attempt not to embarrass herself completely. “That is-” What was she even going to say? She wasn’t quite sure - it was probably pointless to even try to figure it out, because she’d just be stumbling over her words before she actually figured it out. “I’m usually not a messy eater.” At least, not around other people - when they were actually paying attention to her.

Summer looked the girl up and down and smirked as the girl stuttered on her words. “Well...” She said as she tucked a piece of hair behind the other’s ear. “It seems like you’ve never finished...” Her finger lightly touched Winter’s jawline, lightly dragging to her chin, lightly holding it. “...eating.” A sly giggle escaped her mouth as she moved her finger away from her face. 

Summer closed her eyes for a moment to compose herself. Not that she wasn’t used to this kind of attention, its that she wasn’t used to it in public. “Miss, if you were just reading then why are there books everywhere” this was still her job and even though she could compel people to forget… she was trying to be good.

“I walked into this mess. Don’t blame me.” Summer said, shrugging. “Although the thought did cross my mind. If I were to make a mess to purposefully to spend some alone time with you. Detention of some sort.” She said, looking her up and down, not even trying to hide her bitten bottom lip. 

“Oh, I’m the best of both worlds, sweetheart.” His head tilted just a touch, wicked grin spreading over his lips to reveal the hint of a fang as black veins began to spread out from his eyes. “I believe there was a period of time where teen girls everywhere referred to it as ‘undead sex appeal’? And all the epic witchy woo I could ever want.”

Summer smirked as she listened to him talk. “What a coincidence.” The whites of her eyes became red, those same black veins appearing under her eyes. She put her pointer finger in the air and made a little flame appear on the tip. “Me too, sweets.”

"And the award for biggest ego goes to..."

"Are you so eager to meet your end?"

"Darling, we have to stop meeting like this. This is how rumours begin."

"Did you have to do that?"

"Do this one favour for me and you need never fear anyone ever again."

"Do we have any more booze?"

"Don't make promises you can't keep."

"For all I care, you can crawl back to Hell."

"Hey! Earth to you."

"Hold your tongue or I'll tear it from your gaping mouth."

"How dare you command me?"

"How long are you going to hate me?"

"I can't share my secrets with you unless we trust each other."

"I despise voicemail."

"I don't really care about what you want. Let's talk about what I want."

"I like how your mind works."

"I swear to you, the day will come when I'm not so easily subdued, and on that day, I will make you suffer."

"I was protecting you."

"I will fight for my family until my last breath."

"I will not leave you behind."

"I will systematically destroy everything they hold dear."

"I'm going to kill every last one of them."

"If I had a dollar for every mess my family has gotten me into."

"If I want something, I'll take it, and nothing – nothing will stand in my way."

"If you ever betray me, I will make sure you spend the rest of your eternal life in exquisite agony wishing for a merciful death."

"If you knew even a fraction of who I am it would break you in two."

"Is it evil to take what one wants? To satisfy hunger even if doing so will cause another's suffering?"

"Is that what you want, to be normal?"

"It just seems like you need all the friends that you can get."

"It's a little early for day drinking."

"Kill a demon today, face a devil tomorrow."

"Let's go kill them all."

"My hatred for you runs so deep it's difficult to pinpoint its origin."

"Please feel free to choke on it."

"Poppycock! I would never bite you"

"So you're having weird retro sex dreams, get over it."

"Sudden moves make me jumpy, and homicidal."

"Ten minutes ago I was fully naked."

"That wasn't me."

"That's right, you don't have any friends."

"The longer the game, the more they suffer."

"The monster in me can only be checked by the monster in you."

"There is a special place in hell for your kind."

"There is something fundamentally wrong with you."

"There's no real peace in revenge."

"This house is like a freaking swamp sauna."

"What better way to punctuate a day of peace than by killing someone."

"What have you done?!"

"What kind of monster do you take me for?"

"What makes you think I'm afraid to die?"

"What the hell are you doing, you ruthless bitch?"

"What wine goes well with treachery?"

"What's worth dying for is not love?"

"When I go after someone, I don't miss."

"Why don't you just kill me and get it over with?"

"You are the architect of your own unhappiness."

"You deserved far better than this."

"You disgust me."

"You do know you're entirely demented, don't you?"

"You don't care about me!"

"You have a warrior's heart. Perhaps I'll keep it as a souvenir."

"You relinquished your right to touch me."

"You waited too long before you came to rescue me."

"You will not break me."

"You will pay for this."

"You're gonna wish you never laid eyes on me."

"You're nothing."

"You're so hot when you're angry."

“Here, you got a little...” Summer said as she looked down at her lips right before slowly wiping it off with her thumb, her fingers gently touching under her chin to hold it. Her eyes went back up to lock with hers as she put what was on her bottom lip in her mouth. “Mmm, strawberry. My favorite.” Her eyes darted down to her lips, and then back up to her eyes, giving the other a wink.

Autumn was shelving books at the library when she heard a ruckus in the stacks. “ is you are doing something you shouldent be, you have about 5 seconds”

“Is there something wrong with a little reading?” Summer said, as she stopped what she was doing and approached the other slowly. She had seen her before, and knew she worked in the library, very cute. “Are you gonna punish me?” She said, with a hunger in her eyes as she looked her up and down.

“San Francisco. Or maybe Amsterdam. Tokyo and Seoul are also amazing. Anywhere where there’s strobe lights and good times.”

Summer let out a breath as the blonde vampire approached her, standing next to her. “I agree, it’s so dark, a void. Sometimes I look out on the water and see my mother.” She looked at her. “How about you?”
