your holy ghost

"My sins are too many and varied to mention, and frankly, I intend to to continue sinning.” — Phryne Fisher

One of her hands finds its way up to his face and she pinches his cheek with strength of a normal teenage girl as opposed to a vampire. “You’re lucky that you’re cute.” She steps in and closes the door behind him, giving the place a good once over. It really hadn’t changed much except for obvious signs of aging and a few more damages than she remembered. A snort escapes her when he mentions the chicken nuggets and she can see the two of them sitting together while he scarfs down two a time. Kaelo had never been one to care about what people thought and it was time, though sometimes a little disgusting. 

Where to first? Her brows knitted together and she glanced around, in search of something that would be fun to do. There was a soft – she couldn’t place the noise, but there was a sound in her ear and the girl blinked a few times trying to make sure that she wasn’t imagining it– what was that? She straightened up and motioned towards it. “Let’s head to old mythology section.” Without really waiting for him to say anything, she blurred off and headed towards the noise. 

He rubbed his hands on his cheeks aggressively with a angry look on his face, as if Leah had committed a sin. He hated when she talked to him that way. In many ways Leah was the big sister Kaleo never had - except, Kaleo has about four sisters, all older, all annoying to him. But throughout his hundred years of life, his relationship with Leah had formed a lot stronger than being his own blood. He knew things about Leah that he didn’t know about his sister (and frankly, he didn’t want to). He could never call her his sister or something cliche like that, but they were a lot closer than they both realized.

He followed her steps, waiting for a reply, but when she did reply, she was gone in less than second. “To the what?!” He screamed after her but it was no use. He dashed after her the best he could and ended up at the fiction section of the library but no sign of Leah. He scratched the back of his head, frustrated that she didn’t even wait for him. His ears picked up a noise here and there so she had to be close around. “Leah! Where the fuck are you,” He said with a huff.

“You think so?” She watched his face quietly, looking over his reactions to her words. Kaleo is an interesting person– always had been and it was always fun to gauge his reactions. If there was a way to describe him, it would probably be drama queen. A soft laugh escapes her when he mentions being BFFs and she pushes him playfully. They hadn’t seen each other in years and he can still say that their old promise is real? “It wouldn’t be the first time that you’ve ditched me,” she counters. “Remember when you thought you were in love during middle school?”

She is a little more relaxed when it comes to using her powers, but she speeds up regardless in order to catch up with him. Leah glances down at the lock as she arrives and kneels down before pulling a bobby pin out of her hair. The process takes time, but most things in life do and soon the lock clicks open. After grabbing the lock she motions inside. “You first, princess.”

“I know so.” He says with certainty, with a grin sent her way. Kaleo tends to be very closed off from everyone, even with his loud and showy personality, Few know how his state of mind works. And that includes himself. Leah, however, was always good at telling his moods, always one step ahead. It was easy befriending her, she didn't mind his rash and often offensive behavior. Or at least he thought she never did. “Hey now, if I’ve ditched you in the past it’s probably because I had a good reason. Or not... Yeah, probably not, oops.” His cheeky face never falters, though he was kidding. “Hm, I’ve fallen in love many times in middle school My math teacher, the cafeteria’s chicken tenders, you have to be more specific, Leah.”

He waits for her to unlock the door and hearing the ‘click’, he almost goes in before she even motions him in. Luckily, she was right on cue. Stepping inside, the library was fairly dark even with windows on all four sides. And judging by how dusty it was, not a single soul seemed to have stepped inside in years. “Wow, this place looks... Exactly the same. It’s just as dusty too, honestly," he exaggerates, turning around to face her. “Where to first?”

There was something strange about seeing him again. The two of them had grown up together– their families closer than most ancient ones. She had tolerated him a lot earlier on, but came to enjoy his own special brand of sarcasm that added something almost nice to her life. However, after being apart for so long, it was almost hard to believe that he hadn’t changed much. When you looked into a vampire’s eyes, despite how young they looked, you could still see their age. He didn’t look much different than when she had first left home. This would require further research. “Really? People used to say that you were the annoying one.”

She shrugged at his question. “I didn’t know if you were really going to be here so I hid them close by.” Her eyes follow him as he moves and she turns to face him, eyes looks seemingly unimpressed with his speed. “You mean your favorite spot?” There is a part f her that considers not going, but it is a little nostalgic to turn down so she turns on her heels and heads towards the library. “Let’s go.”

“Those people are probably fucking idiots.” Kaleo rolled his eyes nonchalantly, not at her, but at her comment. He was hard to handle and tolerate, sure, he could give her that. But he was the good kind of annoying (in his mind). The kind you would want by your side at all times yet a hundred miles away from you too. “I invited you, remember, why would I ditch you? We’re BFFs.” He winks at her once he’s by her side again. When she agrees to his plan, the smile on his face broadens. “Mine, yours, who cares.”

Back at his home, his parents were very loose when it came to using his vampire abilities. Even in the presence of humans, Kaleo rarely ever abide by their laws and used his unnatural speed and strength as freely as he wanted. He follows her step but quickly finds himself bored, so without a second thought, he dashes towards the library and approaches the front entrance in seconds. “Do you know how to pick locks by any chance?” He calls out to her as he tries to yank the door open without breaking it.

Trees were good for testing out how fast she could be. Quick steps from one branch to another and she finds herself standing over an open field. It feels good being free from all of her responsibilities and just existing in the world. She pulled her phone out of her pockets and glanced down at the text message from Kaleo. The two hadn’t seen each other in a while and she supposed that it would be good to reconnect after his offer. Of course, she hadn’t actually replied to the text so who knew if he was even there. 

She rushes off towards the meeting spot and picks up his voice with a loud sigh. Once she locked onto where the voice was coming from, she landed on the ground and walked towards. “Annoying?” She asks as she steps out of the forest clearing, eyes gleaming. “I didn’t know that you thought I was annoying, I guess I can go back to minding my own business.”

His senses  movement from not so far away and judging by how fast they were going, Kaleo could only assume it was Leah. In a blur, she’s standing behind him, walking towards him and already replying to his jab. He snorts. “I think everyone’s annoying, I thought you knew?” His eyes were met with hers, and it felt oddly familiar, something he hadn’t expected. Contrary to popular belief, vampires did age but slowly, very, very slowly. It’d take almost thirty years for any sign of physical change to appear. He sees those changes in Leah, but it was more than that too. 

“Where’s your luggage? I told you, this camping’s going to be long, minimum of, I don’t know, a month?” ‘Or as long as it takes for you to come back to your insane parents, anyway.’ "Say,” an idea forms and he’s quick to act on it. He becomes a blur in less than second, appearing behind the other vamp. Pointing towards the library, he muses, “Why don’t we take a quick detour and pay a visit to our favorite spot.” This part of their town had been abandoned, and no one would take a step in it due to an urban legend Kaleo had conjured up in his old days. In his defense, humans were ridiculously gullible. “What do you say?”

You know what’s not common? Two teenage vampires taking a break from their supernatural lives to go camping. Yes, camping. Out of all the ideas out there, camping was the brilliant idea Kaleo’s mother had come up with in order to “rescue” (her words, not his) his childhood friend that had run away from her coffin home. Driving towards their meeting spot, he had to wonder if she had found any it suspicious. They hadn’t spoken in months and his “HEY. CAMPING, YOU DOWN?!” text wasn’t exactly smooth on his part. Hopefully everything would go well. Hopefully. 

They had agreed on a meeting place, an old library by their elementary school they would always meet at after school. Leaning on the hood of his pick up truck, he had to admit: he was pretty nervous. For all he knew, Leah could be a completely different person who he no longer shared any interests in - they didn't share many to begin with, but that was neither here or there. He shook his head, “Nah, she’s most likely still annoying as fuck.” He spoke out loud, hoping if she was near, she’d hear him. Leah might have changed, but Kaleo certainly hasn’t.
