Starter for @cardinneverloses!
A week or so have passed since Trivia had her encounter with Cardin. When the woman went back to her room with food and water and noticed that he was gone, there was a part of her that really sunk inside her chest.
There was a voice in her head that would repeat ‘told you so’- that already expected for him to be like the rest. The promise that Cardin made when they were kids was but another lie, like the ones her parents or the servants liked to tell her.
And she was starting to get tired.
The vampire was starting to listen to that voice more. Whom she labeled as her ‘best friend’ or ‘imaginary friend’, but Neopolitan would’ve been nothing but supportive with her, almost as if she always knew at anytime what Trivia really wanted.
And so, Neo convinced her to sneak out at night.
Her parents were throwing another pedantic party to invite the nearest nobles to their home, something about her father closing an important deal that would increase the riches of the Vanille house. And of course, Trivia wasn’t invited.
They were ashamed of her. And presenting herself to human guests only meant that she couldn’t use her powers, not even to communicate, so her muteness and heterochromia only fed the possible fear and rejection that she received from the ignorant people she was surrounded by.
Possessed, she has heard. Many thought that she was a devil’s child, and even if at this point they weren’t all that far off, that didn’t mean it didn’t hurt.
So she was better out here.
Wearing a hooded cape and with her appearance changed -thanks to her powers-, Trivia entered the old bar of the town under the mansion’s hill, looking around herself and acting as if she was merely a traveler that passed by.
She wouldn’t have expected that tonight was going to be more interesting than whatever party she was missing.
