Location: Dawn’s apartment in Staten Island
With: Dawn & @nyahsaqueen
Throughout her existence, Dawn had made lifelong friends along the way, treasuring each and every one of them for whatever time they were allowed together. With the years came her friendship with both Alexandros and Nyah, what they’d call the Three Musketeers, a trio that could rely on one another for anything. It was naïve for Dawn to assume they’d always be together. Losing Alexandros had been Dawn’s breaking point, a rift in all of her relationships, remembering just how tragic it was to lose someone out of nowhere. She’d parted ways with Nyah, unintentionally losing touch every now and then, guilt-ridden that somehow it seemed that Dawn always remained.
“You have no idea how good it is to see you, Nyah.” Dawn said, again surely, repetitive over the years, especially after they’d both lost their third person. “Where’ve you been? What have you been doing?” The next question held on her tongue, the impulsive curiosity to know if she’d seen Alexandros’ doppelganger, if she’d talked to him, if it was him. A question Dawn wanted and did not want the answer to, knowing either way it’d break her heart all over again. “Tell me everything.”
Dawn’s presence immediately lifted her mood, and reminded Nyah of an era in her life where everything was perfect. Alas, life always has other plans and despite the number of years that Dawn, Nyah and Alexandros spent together their connection eventually fell apart. Now it seems like the universe was giving them another chance. If anyone would have told her several years ago that she’d be hanging out with Dawn again, she’d laugh in their face. “You’re telling me? It’s been far too long!” Nyah hoped that this time they could actually make the most of reuniting. “I’ve been living in Europe with Will and mom,” she sighed. “This is the first time I’ve been in the States for years,” it was only until her mother’s parsing that she figured out why the matriarch always steered them away from returning.
“My mom is no longer with us though, but on the plus side we found out that our dad is a vampire. Will and I came to New York to find him.” Nyah wasn’t sure if she wanted to delve further into her mother’s demise right now. “It’s been amazing getting to see him again,” especially after losing Raya had left her more empty on the inside than usual. “Career wise, I’m a figure skater! I finally did it, and you will be proud,” she’s quite a decorated figure skater in European circles. It’s one of the many careers on her list that she would have often talked Alex and Dawn’s ears off about. “Last season ended pretty roughly, I didn’t get to place because I fell and fractured my wrist,” Nyah held up the formerly injured hand, now free of it’s cast. “Thankfully, it’s all good now,” thanks to vampire blood that she took during the Summer Retreat. Oh the things that being overly competitive will make you do.
“Sooo…” she drawled. “What about you?” Nyah further settled in by tucking her feet underneath her. “How long have you been in New York? Have you met any interesting people...or blasts from our pasts?” Nyah anxiously gnawed on her bottom lip. How was she going to bring up seeing Alexandros? “I mean, I’ve run into a few faces that I thought I’d never see again,” shredded, in hopes of giving herself more time to come up with a better strategy. “It’s like New York has some weird pull to it or something,” she shrugged.
