Not all Who are Lost Wander

Sitting in the back of the ceremony, Lucy sank down into her chair, a small grin on her lips. “What do you think they’d do if I stood up right now and objected?” She whispered, leaning in to the partner by her side while her eyes never left the strangers at the alter. “It should have been me! I’ve loved her all these years!” Lucy recited melodramatically, a grin on her lips. 

“But your going to be screwed if she wants to marry you.” Skylar whispered. “Honestly why do you always take me to weird places. Why are we even at a wedding?”

A small chuckle escapes the human’s lips as his blue eyes drift to her face. His amusement, once masked, his apparent in his bright hues. “I can see that,” He states softly, his gaze flitting down to look over the various beakers and tubes scattered on the table. Again, he chuckles. “And, you are very bossy.” He added softly, taking the plastic looking glasses from her hands. “Tell me again why you are… playing with acid?”

Sky made a face. “I’m not bossy, I’m the boss. And I’m not playing with acid. It’s an experiment on the decay of artificial flesh. Now I would love to have a discussion, but when that timer goes off I have three seconds to pull it out. If I don’t I have to set up the experiment again.” Sky went to the table and started to watch the clock. “You’re welcome to stay.” She said off handedly.

“Yeah because you need to enjoy life a little more, Sky.” Lucy chirped, a grin pulling at the corner of her lips yet she kept her eyes firmly shut. “I, on the other hand, am a picture of liveliness. A social butterfly, if you will. Be antisocial with me just once. We can go run off and climb a tree or something.”

“I enjoy life. I enjoy many things,” Sky said crossing her arms. “And we both know I can’t get into a tree - but you just basically said you’d go with me so ha. There are plenty of trees for you to climb, at the beach.”

“No - no. What are you talking about? Bonfire? No, I just want to sleep. Please let me sleep. I can start a bonfire any time, I’ll just set Kurt’s room on fire or something.” Lucy groaned, curling up deeper under a tree as she wrapped her arms around her eyes. She’d spent the last week sleeping in Patrick and while she was used to it, she’d grown soft and craved her own bed back home.

eden eyes moved over the woman in front of him, millennia of experience with this kind of thing reading right past her lie. he wouldn’t call the witch out on it though and he smiled. “yeah, i should have been paying more attention.” the vampire says, reaching his hand out for the woman to shake. “i’m eden, by the way. i’m sorry about snapping at you earlier. and um… thanks for saving my life.” he says. innocent smile on his lips. the pipe wouldn’t have hurt him in the least bit but explaining why he wasn’t dead would have been incredibly awkward to explain to an entire bar.

Skylar didn’t normally go to bars and things, but as Aaron had asked her to go out for once in her life so she’d done it. The soda sitting in front of her had been nursed for at least an hour and she’d stared at the news for at least most of the time. It was tedious but it kept her brother off her back. “ No problem. My name is Skylar,” she said taking the other’s hand lightly. She noted that it was colder than hers - but with the magic energy that always seemed to pulse around her she really couldn’t tell if it was abnormally cold. 

for a few moments eden lets himself be wrapped back up into the world of game of thrones but just as skylar has a vision the vampire feels a chill roll up his spine and he moves in the blink of an eye, sure no one else but the two of them noticed just as a metal pipe flew through the window from a lift that had tilted too far to one side. the pipe landed right where he had been just a moment before and he turned to skylar with wide eyes. “did you do that?” he asks quietly, ignoring the frightened humans around them moving away from the table.

Skylar heard the clunk of the pipe on the ground sighing at the fact that she had been right again. As of late the vision’s were getting stronger as she stopped the experiments. It seemed like the magic was building in her.

the ancient vampire grins sheepishly, raven hair falling into his face. “well that’s embarrassing.” he mutters, thumb moving over the cover of his book. “sorry to bother you then. carry on.” he says, turning back around to flip back through his book.

“No problem.” Skylar said lightly going back to the tv, which would have been the end of it. That was until she had a flash of a vision. Closing her eyes suddenly shrinking back into the seat she tried to will it away. After all a cafe was not the most opportune moment to see into the future, but it was painful. It always was.“You might want to move away from that window.” Skylar said. The window was open to let in a breeze. 

eden sighs as he snaps his book shut, turning around with a raised brow. “your staring has become increasingly more annoying over the past hour. can i help you, dear?” the ancient vampire asks as he tilts his head to the side.

“I beg your pardon… but I hardly see why this should concern me.”

Skylar holds up the eye protection again with an annoyed gesture. “We are in the middle of an experiment. You are not allowed in the room unless you have these on. So either put them on or get out. I am not losing support because you got acid in your eye.”
