Homesick

I saw water and I felt better

"Cynthia?" Cassandra questioned when she heard the voice of one of her best friends before her. "Oh wow, fancy running into you! What are you doing out here all by yourself?" Cassie smiled and approached her friend. "I’m just coming from the bar myself, where are you headed?"

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia smiled, relieved it was only Cassie and not some total creep. "I'm just on my way home. Nothing exciting." She said, turning to make sure nothing was behind her. There was no denying that she was paranoid about the dark.

Layla’s head snapped up at the sound of the woman’s voice. She tilted her head as she analysed her in the moonlight, while sliding the keys back into her pocket. She was thankful the woman hadn’t rounded the corner a moment too early, only to see her exit the back of the blood bank. After all, it may be a tad suspicious for this time of night. “I think the better question is, what are you doing?”

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia looked around, then at the girl in front of her. She couldn't really wrap her head around what the girl was doing, but she figured she probably didn't want to know anyway. Cynthia bit her lip, "I'm just heading home. I had some.. things to pick up." She said, shifting to her side, hiding the container of bath salts behind her back. She had figured it might help to make her feel more at home, being outside of the ocean and all.

Isaac smirked down at her. “Not really. It’s only one story. i would still live.” He shrugged and but away his book. “What are you doing out here alone at night?”

[cynthia--fairchild]

She shrugged, figuring it wasn't really her business. She glanced around, noticing that it was seemingly getting darker by the minute. "Well, I was trying to get home before it got this dark." She said, sighed.

"It’s okay it’s just me. Derek." He spoke, shocked from the voice that yelled towards him just seconds later. "I’m just walking around, might I ask you the same? You seem nervous are you okay?"

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia shook her head, hesitant to stop walking to talk to him. "I'm fine it's just... getting dark." She said, crinkling her nose. "I don't like to be out alone in the dark." 

[sean-j-caragan-blog]

These yours, princess?

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia's eyes widened in surprise. "Who the hell do you think you are?" She asked, reaching to snatch them from his hands. 

[carterkoll]

"Oh no! It’s fine, that tends to happen sometimes." Carter smiled and reached his hand out, "The names Carter, please to meet you."

[cynthia--fairchild]

"Cynthia." She said, shaking his hand. 

[hybridknox]

Isaac glanced down at the girl and paused for a moment. “Reading on a roof..what are you doing?” He looked around for other people then back at her. “Oh it’s dark ready..”

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia raised her eyebrow at the boy in front of her. "On the roof? Aren't you worried you're gonna fall?"

[shadyshayley-deactivated2014073]

*looks at what she’s holding* Sadly, it’s not

Thanks for asking though…

[cynthia--fairchild]

"Well what does it look like?"

[shadyshayley-deactivated2014073]

*muttering to himself* Where the hell did I put that book…

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia looked up at the stranger, holding up the book she had been examining in her hands. "Is this what you're looking for?" She asked. 

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia walked by quickly, hoping to make it home before it was too dark. There was nothing she hated more than being out alone at night. She stopped suddenly, looking at the person before her confused as to what was going on. "What are you doing?"

[river-the-recondite]

"I concur; a little though. You jumped a mile and had a mild heart attack" he rolled his eyes

[cynthia--fairchild]

"Look, do you not have something better to do? This is a little pathetic."

[cassidyevermore]

"I’ve never watched a bunch of tv, thought I watched more when I was younger. Most things just don’t keep my interest."

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia nodded in agreement. "Most of the shows on T.V. these days have nothing on everyday life in The Hamptons." 

[river-the-recondite]

"I doubt it. You got scared by me holding a knife" he smirked

[cynthia--fairchild]

"I think it's a normal human emotion to be slightly frightened of someone wielding a knife."

[carterkoll]

"Oh? So you’re new to town then? I’m sorry you just looked familiar, sorry if I seemed to get too chummy with you."

[cynthia--fairchild]

"No, no, no. Not new. Just.. thinking back to when I was. This is getting a bit confusing, sorry."

[showalittlespine]

Lance looked down quickly, grateful that he was not prone to blushing under some circumstances. Her comment succeeded in making him somewhat shy though and it took him a moment or two to come up with a coherent answer. “I-… You are too kind, Miss Cynthia.” He was used to hearing Brody receive such comments, as his younger sibling had quite the reputation among women. He on the other hand, did not catch as much attention by comparison. He looked up to shoot her a small smile, before continuing. “Quite on the contrary, the honour would be Brody’s if he were to meet you.” He truly believed that, although maybe there was some bias in his words. “I assume you have not been in town long, then?”

[cynthia--fairchild]

Cynthia smiled and nodded as a sort of 'you're welcome'. She was relieved he hadn't taken the compliment the wrong way. She smiled at his statement about meeting his brother, thankful for the compliment, although she wasn't quite convinced of the truth behind it. There was no significance to her, and the mayor probably met many people much more important to the town every day. She thought about his question a moment, unsure what exactly to say. She couldn't exactly come out and tell him that she had been here a while but hadn't really chosen to come out of her home due to the fact that she wasn't quite human. She sighed, looking up at him from her coffee as she spoke. "I've been here quite a long time, actually. I guess you could say I'm just one of those people who keeps to themselves, though."

[dr-alicia-campbell]

Oh well that sucks. We should go out some other time though. Maybe for lunch or something, yeah? 

[cynthia--fairchild]

"Lunch sounds perfect. It's exactly what I had in mind."
