“You can either keep your mouth shut and leave, doors over there, or you can stay and help clean up the mess. The choice is yours, just know, I’ve got friends in high and low places and if you narc, I’ll know about it. And you’ll be begging for death instead of the alternative.”

April hadn’t said a word as she stared at the man and his mess, and she continued to stay silent as he spoke and made her options clear, pressing her lips together and looking him in the eyes until he was done. This all felt so oddly similar to her past with Caleb, and she didn’t know what to think of it — was she scared or somewhat nostalgic?

“I— I’m not a narc,” she murmured, trying to reassure him and herself. She certainly wasn’t, but she didn’t sound so confident of this. “’m not. D-Do you need help?”

“I’ve got no Irish blood, so I’ve got no issue skipping Saint Patrick’s Day. As for Valentine’s…” Mads trailed off, cheeks tinting pink at the thought of getting Lily something to celebrate the holiday. 

He was pretty sure she wouldn’t understand.

“Plus, Easter is a big deal where I’m from. I like the celebrations.”

“Saint Patrick’s Day’s fun anyway, sometimes.” She had some Irish blood, but who didn’t? She just liked holidays, really. “You like Valentine’s? Really?” April chuckled. “I thought most people hate it.”

“Huh, where’re you from? It’s only a big deal here — no, where I’m from — if you’re religious. Christian, I mean. But the candy’s nice.”

“….Yes?” Micah raised their eyebrows, as though surprised and somehow confused by her confusion. “It’s- We’re-”

They didn’t know how to explain it without explaining it, so they conceded.

“There’s spells in the sweets. Coffee cakes that give you energy, lemon bars that help you focus, stuff like that.”

April’s confusion grew at the choppy start to the explanation, brows pushing together until Micah fully explained. Her brows then shot up and she nodded, curiosity piqued.

“Oh.” Magic wasn’t an entirely new concept to her, but the idea of using it for baking was. “Cool.” Though it made her mildly nervous, it was cool. “What’s in this one?”

“Eh, you get to an age where time kind of blurs all together until it’s just a change in seasons. You got any New Year’s Resolutions?”

“Guess it’s all just kind of a change of seasons, anyway,” she conceded. Everyone had told her similar lately — immortality, years going by, blurring together without being a big deal. Maybe she’d get it some day. “I’m not great at sticking to them, I gave those up a while ago.” She hadn’t thought about it this year. It had been a rollercoaster, especially at the end, and things were so different now. “Not sure what a good resolution would be for a vampire, either, but...” April shrugged, cutting herself off, “Do you have any?”

‘ a long time is a fucking understatement. ’ he spoke, trying to open another cigarette. ‘ you’ll learn every year is quick, now. ’ he added, blowing puff away from his lips.

“Really?” Maybe it was only because this was all so new to her, but immortality didn’t seem quite real yet. At least not for her. “How long?” How long even was a long time for vampires, when there was no set end for them? “I guess they all are, each one just seems like even faster.”

allura felt the discomfort from the other and she trained not to care at all especially to those other species, she had no time for her feelings to be soft on anyone. it was hard to trust someone, not even a new spring of vampire. ‘ when you’re a vampire, you’ll learn that immortality will make these years irrelevant. ’

“You’re not a vampire, too— are you?” She didn’t smell like one. April wasn’t entirely well-versed with her own species, let alone others, but the woman’s scent was distinctly different. “I-I just got turned. I don’t feel immortal yet.”

“That’s genuinely how time works, yes. Good job, kid. And they say youth is wasted on the young.”

“What?” April didn’t fully understand the last statement, but she tried not to look into it too much. “I know— i-it just goes fast, that’s all I’m saying.”

[bxbepril-blog]

edmvnds‌:

‘ well if you’re immortal, that’s just another year. ’

“Well yeah, I guess after a while. Have you lived a long time?” She hadn’t thought much about that aspect of her transformation. How long would she live now? “It’s just been quick, this year.”

“Consider it a late Christmas present. Or a really late Hanukkah present. Yule’s still going on, so I’m on time for that, but-” 

They were babbling. Good Lord were they babbling.

“You look like you need the pick-me-up, that’s all.” In reference to the baked good in their hands, holding it up as a peace offering. “I promise we’ve done more testing than Willy Wonka ever did.”

April watched them with wide eyes as they went down the list of holidays. She hadn’t gotten anything for any of them, but didn’t need a reason to be grateful and accept the offering. The new vampire took the baked good from the brunette and held it in her palm, gazing in admiration. “Thanks. I could always use a pick me up.” Food had tasted a little odd since she’d been turned, but she had always loved baking and hoped her sweet tooth hadn’t completely left her. About to take a bite, she paused at the other’s last statement. “Testing?”

“Wasn’t it Halloween like, two days ago?”

He’d never be over how friendly people were on this island. Mads had never thought it possible for so many supernaturally charged personalities to coexist as well as they did. And yet, here they were!

“Just wait, at the rate we’re going, tomorrow will be Easter.”

“Exactly. I don’t know how it’s already the end of December.” She didn’t remember a whole lot about Halloween, but it certainly felt that way. All these end-of-year holidays were easily a blur.

“Gonna skip Valentine’s and Saint Patrick’s Day? I wouldn’t be surprised.”

the stench of vampirism wafted around the woman and all allura could do is scrunch her nose up at the blonde and respond, ‘ if that isn’t really obvious. ’

“I-I guess so.” April knew from plenty of experience that not everyone was so friendly or open, but the scrunching of the woman’s nose had her doing similarly with her face out of confusion. “I just meant... the year’s gone by fast, you know?”

“It’s really almost New Years already, huh?”

“Hey sugar, ya feel like helping a girl out?” Batting her eyelids at the passerby, used to getting her own way with a smile and a flirt. “If ya do a good enough job I might even make it worth ya while.”

April took a quick look at the woman to make sure she was indeed addressing her, before nodding and turning to approach her. “Sure, what can I do?” Helping however she could was in her nature, and since she’d arrived here, it hadn’t always been easy to know what to do with herself or her time. “Oh? I’ll do my best.”
