Snack [René||Jessica]
@redandundead
In the nights that followed the auction, René had noted that he had not been the only human out and about, ready to fight. However, he had noticed that some of those humans seemed a lot more prepared than your average Joe. Hell, René was out there with a thin silver chain around his left fist and a wooden stake tucked in his waistband. On the other hand, he’d noticed he only encountered the better prepared amidst chaos. If only he could find one with whom he could actually speak…
Driving towards Merlotte’s, René stopped when he saw a weird scene on the deserted streets…. It seemed like a bloodied body. “Shit…” Pulling the stake, he parked the truck and went to investigate. In the blink of an eye, the body was up, fangs bared as it hissed at him. Beside whom he thought was a dead human and had revealed himself a vampire, stood another vampire. Trying to contain his anger and hated, he sighed before frowning. “Let’s dance then, motherfuckers.”
His silver-coated fist crashed so hard against one of the vampire’s face, he felt things bubbling up as they burned that he shouldn’t had. Sadly, they were still vampires, so he was beginning to get overpowered. But if he was going to die, René was going to take at least one with him.
Jessica was new to this whole “Vampire” thing, but she was really enjoying certain aspects of her new life. Or perhaps it was technically an “after life.” She wasn’t exactly clear on that part, or any part really. Bill had given her a few basic instructions, but had left much to her imagination. Oh, what an imagination it was!
She wasn’t “allowed” to feed on humans, even though she’d already met a few who didn’t seem to have such limits placed on them. Why did she have to get stuck with such a boring maker? It hardly seemed fair. There was one type of true blood she could stand (albeit, barely) but after having the real thing? There was no comparison. Jess wanted to follow Bill’s rules, but her impulse control was practically non existent. He hadn’t said anything about feeding on animals, right? Surely this would count as a compromise.
Jessica was now more adept than ever at remaining still, silent. Like the dead. But every time a rabbit or deer made it’s presence known, she couldn’t bring herself to do it. They were true innocents, like children. “Fuck.” She whispered, accepting that this endeavor was a lost cause and begun making her way back home. She’d only made it a few steps when she heard the commotion. Using her much beloved new ability of super speed, she bolted her way into the center of the action in less than a blink of an eye.
Vampires, against one human. Why the hell should they get to have human blood, when she was forbidden. “Hey!” She called out, a mischievous smile spreading wide across her features. “You wanna play with someone a little more your speed?” She challenged, fire in her eyes. She didn’t know this human, but if she saved him maybe she would win some much needed points with her oft disappointed maker.
