@vampirio​ sent :  “Sit still, I’m trying to braid your hair.” / charlotte to jasper when he joins them after leaving maria?

he  didn’t like  people  touching  him  .  even  charlotte  .  but  he  shifted  just  to  let  her  do  it  .  knowing  it  was  peaceful  for  her  &&  feeling  her  emotions  QUELL  slightly  as  her  fingers  moved  gently  over  the  roots  of  his  blond  hair  .  he  -  on  the  other  hand  ,  felt  tense  from  it  .  he  wasn’t  relaxed  when  people  touched  him  .  sit  still  .  he  could  do  that  .  jasper  shifted  his  weight  ,  moving  closer  to  charlotte  DESPITE  himself  ,  &&  letting  himself  rest  his  head  against  he  thigh  ,  though  feeling  tense  ,  not  SHOWING  it  as  she  let  her  fingers  thread  through  &&  begin  braiding  away  .  he  took  an  unnecessary  deep  breath   ,  then  exhaled  the  oxygen  through  his  nose  .  “  don’t  make  me  look  like  a  poodle  .  ”  he  murmured  softly  .

             Tatia smiles softly, it’s been a while since she did that. Life is dreadful and endless and this brings her back to a small child when she was human and innocent without a death count, with worries that now seem so trivial.  ❝ Sometimes you do. Sometimes you just don’t think you could ever lose it, cause you promised a little girl that you’d always be there for her after her father passed and you couldn’t keep that promise. ❞  And you blame yourself for it over and over again but you can’t do anything to fix it, can’t turn back the clock and can’t die so you can join her and her father in the spirit world, can just keep going and wishing  s o m e t h i n g  would change.

She’s standing on the door step, and despite a heart that hasn’t beat in over a DECADE, she feels herself on edge. A fake thrum beats its way down to her finger tips, and she’s thinking about turning and running right then and there.

This journey has taken time. She’s had flickers of this coven family for so long. Faces were always blurred, and she was never sucked in for long, but she could feel the sense of community and LOVE even with the vague depictions she had. Living amongst each other, no animosity between them as can happen with clusters of vampires. It was a miracle – and once she had a flicker of warm arms wrapping around her in an embrace, giving her a yearning for familial familiarity, she become almost OBSESSED.

Her poor Jasper – almost neglected on her quest, he was the most cautious about joining a group, but he had problems saying no to her. They focused in on these flickers for years, trying to pinpoint places. Alaska moved south bound back into the main United States. New Hampshire, turns into New York after only a few short months. She finds them in Buffalo. 

She knocks so hesitantly on the door. Lightly, but with their super senses, she knows they’ve heard it. She only manages twice, before she rocks back on her heels, into the solid form of her mate. “–I don’t think I can do this. What if they don’t want us?”
