The last Vampire:

Armand didnt look to happy with his master and I had to much to think about right now to do any wondering. I had to help Oksana and I was pretty damn sure I was the only mortal who would or could. Taking the keys from Armand and making sure everyone was ready I turned the truck onto the highway and towards the mountains.

"Just a couple hours and we will be there."

And once there then what? Settle them in the cellar probably there were no windows there. Call work and quit possibly. While they were asleep I would need some food. When Oksana woke the next evening she would be hungry and I needed to be strong since I fully intended to be her meal if need be. I didnt understand why I would do it I just knew I would. I just hoped that man creature slept all day as well he gave me the creeps. Chances were he wanted to make me scream in more ways then sexual... I put the thoughts from my head as disturbing as they were. I fiddled with the radio trying to find something to keep myself from thinking of what might become of me.
 
Oksana got into the truck and sat between Draven and Lexi. She spoke nothing the whole trip, it seemed all she could think about the face of that young man, Lexi's words burning in her ears...

"Oksana... You didn't have to kill him...."

She hadn't had to kill him, but she hadn't been able to help it, she was consumed by the moment, and consumed by the fire of her new immortality. She had stopped crying but now sat numb to those around her even as the radio flipped around on channels... in her mind she only saw his eyes scared and pleading... tasted his blood hot and thick on her tounge... and heard the screams... He hadn't had to die...
 
Armand:

Lexi took the keys as I held them out to Draven and I cursed again under my breath. There was no room so of course I was the one elected to get to sit in the back with the fuckin coffins. Bastards... I found myself raging... even against Draven and quickly quieted myself. He would just as soon destroy me... I had to watch my step.
 
Draven

We rode quietly for most of the trip.I looked back to see armand staring coldly at me.I gave him a look that said "I have no remorse of destroying you,"

"oksana," i said "Its terribly alarming at first but you get used to it," i said knowing that i wasnt easing her guilt....
 
Arriving at our destination a couple hours before dawn I got out of the truck and jumbled in the dark with the keys to the door. As always this place smelled of fresh air and pine trees. The door opened into a large sitting room with cozy mountain decor. The skylights in the vaulted celieng were closed now but when opened let in a gorgeous view of a clear blue sky or twinkiling stars at night. The fireplace was situated at the center of the room and surrounded by overstuffed easy chairs. A spacious kitchen she always loved was off to the right of the room as well as the dining area. Off the kitchen were stairs leading to a cellar where they kept the wine and extra supplies and there were stairs leading up to 3 loft bedrooms.

She found the lighter on top of one of the cabinets and lit the candels around the room while Armand unloaded the coffins and Oksana and Draven did whatever they were doing.

"The key to the cellar door is on top of the fridge if you need it."


((You both can add anything you like to the cabin. Ive just given you a starting vantage of it.))

'Oksana. Its terribly alarming at first but you get used to it'

I nodded but his words did nothing for me... I didn't want to get used to it, I never wanted to. How could I kill... even hurt others just to keep me alive... it all seems so selfish, so ... wrong.

I sighed deeply before getting out of the car. The cold night air didn't effect me, I felt no cold right now it was strange. As my eyes fell on the cabin a slight smile flickered acrossed my features. I'd always loved log cabins, the rustic feel... the smell of pine and the clean smog-free nights. My eyes moved upward towards the heavens, to behold so many stars. More than could ever be seen in the city's lights.

"It's beautiful... "

I slowly stepped inside, the decor was a perfect match, so rustic so homey and comfortable. I found a smile creeping over my face in spite of myself.


Armand:

Armand stepped out after the van stopped and not speaking he slowly unloaded the coffins. His body was heated with anger as he began the painstaking process of removing the heavy oak coffins from the back and dragging them alone into the building. He paused a moment to glance at the three, all of them with smiles of approval as they went inside, enjoying themselves while he had to fuckin' unload the truck.

"Probly make me sleep outside..."

He muttered before dragging the coffin from the truck and towards the door.

"Where would you like your coffin sir..."
 
Draven

I grab the cellar keys off the fridge."The room with the least windows,move the coffins there and cover the windows," i said. I looked at him angerly and tossed him the cellar keys."Youll sleep there," i said.

I glanced back at oksana."If it means anything at all,Im sorry," i said to her....
 
"the loft bedrooms each have one window but I can get you some of the heavier curtains from the closet."

Seeing that Armand was toting the coffins up and Oksana and Draven were talking I went ahead into each room closing the shades which were dark green and hanging up the thick curtains we used to keep out winter chill. Making sure no light would be able to come through.
 
Armand:

I moved the coffins into one of the bedrooms Lexi had mentioned and positioned them side by side. I felt the keys in my pocket and sighed, well at least it wasn't outside. Reluctantly I approached Lexi,

"Where's the closet... with the heavy curtains."
 
Oksana

"If it means anything... I'm sorry..."

I smiled softly, now able to look at his position in a whole new light, and with a lot more sympathy.

"It's ok.... I understand what you're doing... I'll survive it."

I gave him another smile and kissed his cheek gently. My nerves were still shot and I was filled with fear, but slowly I was becoming calmer and braver. Maybe it was how well Lexi was taking everything... she's so strong. I took a deep breath,

"Besides look at this beautiful place, and i have an eternity to enjoy this place... life... sort of."
 
draven

i smiled at her.I started to fel so much better.

"And I have an eternity to show you the world," i said.I watched armand carefully as he headed towards the room where lexi was...
 
Passing Armand on my way out I stood in front of them.

"Well the rooms are prepared. Light wont get through those blinds or curtains. Just to be sure I latched the windows closed."
 
Armand:

Armand crossed his arms glaring irritatedly at the drapes she'd put up while he'd been searching for them.

"God Damn it..."

he muttered low so they wouldn't here.

"The coffins are ready..."


Oksana:

Oksana wrinkled her nose lightly,

"Do we really have to sleep in coffins? I mean... isn't that.... morbid a bit?"
 
Draven

"no,we dont have to but we need them for travel purposes," i said.We walk up the stairs to the room to find a very beautifully furnished room."Would you rather we sleep in the bed," i ask her...
 
I watched them go upstairs and it was then I realised I was hungry and so tired. I looked through my pantry and found a couple cans of beans and some powdered milk. Looking through my freezer proved better I found some frozen chicken and hamburger and some spagetti in a dish. Taking it out i pop it in the microwave. This was not what I though id be doing at 4 am.

It was supposed to be different....
 
Oksana:

*She went upstairs and a grin spread acrossed her face*

Oh this is much better....

*She noticed the single bed and swallowed slightly remembering Lexi and sighing slightly*

Armand:

*stepped down from the attic and went to the fridge. Noting Lexi's glare he held up his hands palms out.*

"Relax. Just getting a drink...."

*leaned in the fridge irritatedly...*
 
Draven

OOC:i was outa town i want to continue


IC:I nodded to tell her she could take the bed i had no problem with the floor..
 
She looked tentively towards him and nodded...

"Thank you..."

She sat on the bed, the mans face she killed flashed through her mind... and Lexi's face... horror... and fear.... 'you didn't have to kill him' A tear fell down her cheek. Lexi had been afraid of her... frightened... she must have thought she'd turn on her... would she? Oksana shook her head swallowing deeply, maybe she would... Lexi had to go...

"She can't stay here..."

Somehow she had a feeling he could read, or at least sense her thoughts... he would know what she meant.
