Blood in the Water || Nate & Taylor

@taylorvoxx

Great. As if the town wasn’t weird enough, since the moment the sky began to lighten, it was red. Blood red. Like someone dumped a bucket of red paint on the entire sky. And it hasn’t let up. Not to mention the flooding. Nate had gone out to his back porch to enjoy the sunrise and instead found that his waterfront property was now literally in the water. Not to mention it was leaving some weird residue and rising at a terrifying rate. It didn’t take long for Nate to fly into panic mode, sweeping around his house and moving the few valuables he had to high ground. 

Once he’d moved all his important documents, research and architectural drawings up to his loft, Nate chanced a glance out over the water. It seemed to be rising everywhere he could see, but the news hadn’t said anything about any freak tsunamis or any weather phenomena. Usually with this sort of thing there was a warning, but today it was like the bay had just decided to up and rise. 

Nate sped around his house once more before piling himself into his Dodge in search of some assistance or information. His radio trained on the emergency channel, all he was getting was nonsense reactions but no real information. “C’mon! Tell us why this crap is happening!” He banged his hand lightly against the steering wheel. 

Carefully turning onto the main road, Nate came up to the docks and his heart lurched into his mouth. Boats were tipping and bobbing at an unnatural and rather dangerous height. Not only that, but he saw a few familiar faces, other Cresters who lived on their vessels. Really a terribly unsafe place to live even under normal conditions and this just solidified his thoughts on the matter. 

Groaning to himself for doing what he was about to do, Nate slowly pulled into the small parking area. The water was already a few inches here and he rolled down the window, calling out to a girl he’d seen around town a couple times. She seemed new and like a fish out of water, not unlike himself. “Hey! You need some help?” 

Nate hoped the trepidation wasn’t obvious in his voice. He was trying to do something brave, something his old self would have done without hesitation but the new Nate was terrified of. He was trying to be a hero.

It was late, it was always late whenever they seen each other. But it was better that way, they both had their big reputations. Even if The Vampire Diaries had ended, people were still in his business. And sure, the sneaking around was fun but sometimes, he just wanted to hold her hand in public. Ian understood why they couldn’t but still sometimes it would be nice. Moments like this though, he lived for them. Whenever he got to see her. Hearing a knock on the door, and Nietzsche, barking he knew if he didn’t hush her, she would get the others started. So he quickly hushed her, and the dog followed him to door. There was a smile when he opened the door. Leaning over, he kissed her cheek softly and moved aside to let the blonde in. Closing the door behind her, Nietzsche seen it was Taylor, and moved into the living room. Before either of them said anything, his lips connected with hers, kissing her softly.

It's just one of those days || Brian & Taylor.

Brian Kerr stalked out of the radio station with a scowl on his face, alerting everyone around him to the foul mood that he was in that afternoon. He'd decided to knock off work early, without telling anyone else of course, for the second time that week. Halfway through the show he'd suddenly developed an intense case of can't-be-bothered. He'd stopped mid-sentence, causing Alyssa to jump in and effortlessly pick up where he'd left off. The bitch seemed to be able to do everything, it was almost like she were trying to outdo him. He sighed at himself, knowing that the Alyssa he knew wasn't like that, but for some reason he couldn't shake the thought. What was wrong with him?

In his car, Brian gripped the wheel and stared through the windscreen. He really should start taking a cab, it was getting harder to find a place to park, and he'd just remembered that he needed to go to the store. Awesome. He was tempted to just drive his car into the shiny Lexus across the lot but he decided that probably wouldn't kill him, only land him with an empty wallet... and perhaps some jail time. It was bad enough being stuck on this godforsaken planet, he dreaded to think what it would be like behind bars. He stalled the car as he drove away from the station, cursing loudly. This was such an awesome day. He turned on the radio, quickly fumbling to switch the station as Alyssa's voice floated out. He'd forgotten he'd had it tuned to their station ever since he started working there. Well, it's always good to have a change. He settled on the first station he came to that was playing music - something about wanting to take a ride on someone's disco stick, which Brian didn't fully get but whatever. It was better than nothing.

He drove around for what felt like ages, suddenly aware that he didn't have his police protection because he'd skipped out on work. Oops. Whatever, he'd been fine for this long, surely an hour or two more wouldn't hurt. He'd be in a public place, nobody would try anything there... would they? His grip on the wheel tightened as he searched for a place to park, eventually finding somewhere to stop and hopping out. He patted his jacket pocket, making sure he had his wallet, and started walking towards the store. He just wanted to get home and sleep. At least when he was asleep he could pretend everything had stopped.
