poise and rationality | nick & annie | flashback

The dress had been custom tailored by a woman from a shop nearby and the measurements were absolutely incredible as the bodice hugged her slim frame while accentuated her curves to the modest degree she could in the time-period. The skirt flared out at her hips and created the instant appeal of a tight tummy while appearing to be of royal status with her entire body nearly pushing up at the top of the hemline where she was met with lace. The long sleeves were made of a light fabric that were see-through as she was beginning to push past boundaries set by her own time and creating her own standards as opposed to sticking to what was acceptable at the time. It was in fact a fairy-tale type wedding, where complete strangers showed up to honor the bride-to-be from far off communities knowing that the engagement was something that had been talked about for ages. 

It was all fantasy as the pure as snow-white gown was slipped into on the day that everything was supposed to be perfect. Antonia couldn’t believe the reflection she saw in the mirror as she ran her hands over the material of the dress one last time in it’s most innocent form. Today was supposed to be a day of celebration, not one of mourn, but it seemed that Annie and Nick wouldn’t be so lucky. As she readied herself to walk down to see Nick and become his lawfully wedded wife, she could only wonder where their lovely flower girl could have gotten off to. She was only out that very day to pick some fresh flowers for the bouquet, but, when she hadn’t returned in time for the procession to begin, a worrying sinking feeling filled Annie, and she just wasn’t sure what to do. Surely, they couldn’t have a wedding without the entire family present, and Victoria had become such an impact on both of their lives that Annie was’t going to continue without her. The waiting became nearly unbearable though and as Annie sat alone in her room, she only grew more concerned with each passing second that no one came in to tell her that Victoria had arrived.

a night to remember | Nick & Annie | flashback

Several months had gone by in the New World where dozens of people had begun to flee from the European countries. Pilgrims claimed their stakes in property, and others traveled far and wide to explore the land. Nicholas and Antonia were having fun in doing the latter. Meeting people that held power and knowledge wasn’t always a terrible thing, and in fact, got them invited to many parties held in extraordinarily new places. Townships were being built, and gave the two vampires a chance to really mingle. They never stayed put in one place for too long however, just long enough to gain a reputation, most of which they had gathered at parties.

Attending one was always a blast, but, sometimes they did seem to get out of hand. Annie and Nick had learned so much about each other and enjoyed each others company though, so nothing split them apart so easily so quickly. And, as Antonia left the carriage that had brought them to the party, she quickly glanced to her counterpart with a large grin. “Ready to make it a night to remember?” The extravagance was something that she had begun to crave, and as they entered the beautifully decorated place, she immersed herself into the dance, having learned a nice waltz over the years.

Bennett|Nicholas|Antonia

There were quite a few people at the party, and Antonia made her rounds, trying to talk and see everyone. Anyone who was anybody was there, so it was nice to see some familiar faces, and also some brand new ones. Making connections at these sort of events was key, especially if she was going to get any further into 1) finding her brother, and 2) finding out more about what happened to the council. Sometimes though, there were nights like this where socialization just had to be enjoyed. And that’s exactly what she was planning on doing tonight. Everything had gone pretty smoothly too, until she ran into both Bennett and Nicholas at nearly the exact same time. “Evening gentlemen.” She prompted with a short grin, giving a glance from one to the other as she held her chin up high.
