Eden could hear footsteps approach, her heart constricting at the thought of being dragged away from Bryce a second time. The first was crudely branded into her memory and one that had often left her sleepless or yelling out in the dark of night as it descended on her as a nightmare. Her eyes tightened around the bars so fiercely that her fingers were turning white. “How are you here?” she dazedly asked, feeling like she would suddenly wake from this dream and find herself broken all over again. How had he survived? 

Feeling his hands, his strong and cold, yet so damn reassuring hands close over hers, the tears broke free and ran down her cheeks. “I’m here.” she repeated, wishing she could touch more of him, wishing she could hug and kiss him and pretend for a moment that everything was going to be alright. “Killed me? No I thought they had killed you!” She said, her voice in between an urgen whisper and a sob. “I escaped for a while in one of the rebel camps. But then it was raided last week.” she hoarsely tried to explain. “Not that I cared.. I thought I would never see you again, where I went didn’t really matter anymore..” 

“I-- Ive been here. I’ve been here, this whole time, I--” He mumbled, having a hard time believing his eyes even though she was right there and he could feel her fingers against his own around the bars. Describing what he felt inside seemed impossible. He’d given up, ready to rot alone in this cell until someone was merciful enough to kill him off, thinking that his whole reason to live had been taken from him. 

“No, I’m here, they didn’t kill me....” He had to hold his tears back, wanting to seem strong for her. He wanted to be glad she wasn’t dead, but somehow the prospect of knowing she was being forced into the same fucked up slavery that he was made him sick. Especially since he couldn’t do anything about it. “I love you,” He mumbled softly. “I’m so happy you’re alive. Please be careful here. This place is like hell,”

Malee made a face. “That’s lame! I mean, it could probably work for you, but if there’s rioting in the streets again I don’t think falling asleep wherever I happen to be will help me much. Once I get this figured out I’m gonna teach you. Got any fun vampy tricks or that stupid brand take care of em?”

“I think the only advantage I have is that I’m such a bean pole I could probably wiggle my noodle body away from most grips,” He joked, though, that hadn’t worked for him previously. “Alright, I believe in you. And– no, not really. All the fun stuff was subdued by the brand, unfortunately,”

The guards watched them all closely as they lined up to go back inside, outside time over for the day meaning each and all had a one way ticket back to their cell. Eden lined up without a word or even a glance at the slaves around her. It was easier not to pay too close attention to others. Their suffering in here was not something she wanted to get caught up in. She had to keep her head down, her mouth shut and she might survive another day. 

The line moved slowly, robotically almost. They were half way down another endless hall when her eyes caught the sight of him. But it couldn’t be him… Her eyes widened and her mouth opened, his name slipping out in heavy disbelief. “Bryce?” How was he here? No she had to be seeing things.. hallucinating. But then she got closer to the cell he was in and it was impossible to deny the fact that her thought dead boyfriend was very much real. “BRYCE!” Eden yelled, throwing herself out of the line and closing her hands around the bars that separated them.

Bryce continued to look down at his lap, reaching up to rub his forehead when he heard Eden’s voice. He thought he was over hearing the echo’s of her voice calling out to him, but apparently he wasn’t. He glanced up as a line of slaves shuffled past his cell, though he was shocked to see his girlfriend standing there. He must have been going insane-- there was no way. It wasn’t possible that she had ended up here, too. “Eden!” He exclaimed, his disbelief fizzling out as she got closer and grabbed his bars. 

He stood up quickly, going over to the bars and wrapping his hands around hers. “Oh my god... oh my god,” He mumbled, tears welling up in his eyes. “You’re here,” He breathed. “You’re actually here....Eden-- I thought--- I thought they killed you,”

“No no that’s just it! You’re scrawny, no offense, and you’re still alive doin well. So you must know somethin right? Unless you get by on, I dunno, good behavior,” she added with a scrunch of her nose. She wasn’t a troublemaker but good behavior wasn’t exactly her style either.

“That’s some pretty solid logic, but I get by on sleeping half the time and being really quiet and hoping no one bothers me,” He explained truthfully. It had honestly been his strategy all his life with most situations, and it generally worked.

“Okay I may be scrappy but the second someone finds out I don’t really know what I’m doing I’m grilled cheese! I need to know how to–” She punches the air with her right and then left fist. “You know what I mean, so…come on. Teach me.”

[vampbrycewaters]

“I--” Bryce started to speak, but had to hold in laughter as the girl punched the air. “I’m gonna need you to take one look at my gangly, lanky body and explain to me why you think I could possibly teach you anything about fighting,” He snorted, shaking his head at her.

Senua certainly wasn’t aiming to be intimidating, she knew that much. She may not be able to do much in the way of easing the strife of that brand in the long run, but intimidation certainly wasn’t key. She snaps her fingers lightly and nods, tossing one of the pamphlets back onto the counter to pluck her phone from her pocket. “Great minds think alike, my dude. Egg rolls and chicken fried rice it is!” She’s bringing said phone to her ear, as she leans her hip against her counter, “In the mean time, why don’t you tell me a little about yourself?”

“Sure, but only if you tell me about yourself next,” He smiled, leaning against the counter as he became more comfortable around her. “My name is Bryce, I’m a vampire, I look to be twenty three, but I’m really two hundred and twenty three, I’m bisexual, my favorite color is black but sometimes also red, I’m a dog person, I like playing video games, I’m decent at singing but I would never do it in front of other people, and I really miss having my own apartment to decorate. Your turn!”

justsenua‌:

It was way too early for the woman to go around demanding folks start calling her Miss Senua or something like that. She nods towards her kitchen, just to pause a second at his question. Before she’s catching her bottom lip between her teeth thoughtfully, and shrugging one in the same. “Well… I’ve got no reason not to be… Of course you can ask. I’m not a mistress, I’m not quite so self-entitled.” Once in the kitchen, she raps her knuckles against the counter top. “How bout Pizza? Or Chinese?” She holds up two little take out pamphlets and flashes another smile.

Bryce had almost forgotten that civilians can rent out slaves, a little shocked to know that he wasn’t in the face of a master for once. “Oh, I see...” He trailed off softly, a little less intimidated. “I’m not picky, but eggrolls and chicken fried rice sounds great right now,” He sighed, reminiscing on the taste of it. He didn’t really need to eat actual food as a vampire, but he definitely didn’t mind indulging just because it tasted good.

Senua can be a little transparent sometimes, that energy in the room was already pretty paletable. She is quick to push aside that awkwardness, in favor of pushing that front door closed behind him. She was over-thinking it really, and she was well-aware of that. But awkwardness aside, she envelopes his hand in both of hers, and gives it a light shake. Perhaps stands just a little too close, but hey. “Senua. Just Senua. Would you like something to drink? To eat?”

“Senua,” He said, surprised that she didn’t demand he call her ‘miss’ or something. It was a pleasant surprise, though. “I--... sure, I could go for that. Um- may I ask-- why you’re being so kind to me, or...?” He tilted his head, waiting for a response.

Shoo, If Bryce thought he felt awkward? Senua didn’t even know why she had gone and asked for him. Absolutely nothing again him at all, she just felt– awkward. It wasn’t so long ago that she wore that brand, and the idea of renting people still got under her skin. But here she was, about to answer her door to him all the same. She was almost relieved that when she swung that door open, the man looked just about as awkward. She still flashes a smile, before she moves to step out of the way. “Oh, Hey there! Come on in~?”

Bryce was a little shocked when she was so bubbly. He was used to the masters being pretty demanding. “Hey,” He replied a little awkwardly, walking inside past her and turning around to get out of the way for her to close the door. “Um-- I’m Bryce,” He said, holding his hand out. The energy in the room was a little strange, and it seemed like she didn’t really know what to say to him.

[vampbrycewaters]

Bryce always found it decently pleasant when the guards let them out to eat lunch in the lunch room-- he actually preferred being around all of the slaves instead of surrounded by guards or with a master. He didn’t have much of an appetite at the moment, however, picking around his food and hardly touching his capri-sun like pack of blood. At least they didn’t let him starve to death, but it wasn’t the best blood. He was afraid to even ask where they got it from. “Sometimes it’s a little difficult to have much of an appetite here, huh?” He said to the slave across from him.

Bryce hated being rented and just delivered to the master’s door like a box of pizza. Something about it just made him feel gross. He missed his girlfriend, and his freedom, but this was his bed now and he had to just lie in it. When the door opened, he gave a small awkward wave. “Hey,” He mumbled, waiting for the other to tell him what to do.

“Nice to meet you Bryce. I’m Phenex.” He can’t entirely decide if the quiet attitude is born out of fear, or an actual personality trait. With most slaves its hard to decipher unless you spend more than five minutes in their presence. Which, to be fair, when Nex picks one he has the habit of spending a lot of time with that lucky, or unlucky some might say, individual. “Well that depends entirely on you. Good boys I treat well, bad ones.. not so much.” 

“Nice to meet you too,” Bryce replied, though his words were a little empty. He couldn’t help but be guarded, after everything that had happened to him so far. “So, I’m assuming you’re expecting me to be a good boy, then?”

“Yeah! Rollercoasters and ferris wheels and lots of stuff. It’ll be fun.” Malee hadn’t been sure why she’d ‘rescued’ the slave earlier besides wanting to trick the master, but now she was very glad she did. “Ooh, what are you?” she asked, intrigued. “I’ll live a long time probably but I’m only at the very beginning of that. I haven’t thought of moving away…I like it here.” As she walked along, her face fell at the mention of how he’d been brought in. “Oh no, you had a girlfriend and they took you away? That’s fucked up! Was she human?” Malee didn’t see the appeal of humans but love was weird and if two people loved each other who cares?

“Cool! I like those. And, I’m a vampire,” He said, opening his mouth to show her his teeth. Probably the coolest part about becoming a vampire was that it made him look a lot more edgy than he was before. Though, he’d already been as pale as a sheet of paper. “I don’t think you would have to move away from here. I only had to move because I was living in places with mostly humans. They get suspicious when you’ve been around for 30 years and haven’t aged a day, you know?” He laughed a bit, but the laugh was kind of empty. As much as he hated moving around like that, he sure did miss his freedom. “I um--.. yeah, they took her too. I don’t know where she ended up or if they even kept her alive,” He started to explain. “She was human, though we had plans to turn her so we could live together for the rest of our eternity. I actually wasn’t born a vampire, so it was... hard to resist mingling with humans. And even harder not to fall in love with one,”

Malee didn’t actually have a lot of friends, so having one for the day was kind of nice. She thought for a little bit, she usually went shopping or to a club or bar but it wasn’t very late and she was sure he didn’t want to be dragged around carrying her shopping bags. “Oo there’s an amusement park! You can get fried everything and play games and go on rides. Let’s go there!” She was already tugging Bryce’s sleeve again, dragging him off in the right direction. “How long have you been in the city? I’ve been here almost my whole life, except I was born in Thailand. That’s where my family is.”

“Rides?” He asked, already being tugged away by the girl. “Like, rollercoasters?” He hadn’t been on one in a long time, so it sounded really fun. Also, a churro sounded great too. “Okay!” He said, following her even though she was still tugging him along so it wasn’t like he had much of an option. “Um-- I’ve kind of lost track. I think, a year? Maybe? Before this I was moving from city to city. You can never stay in one place too long when you’re immortal.” He shrugged. “Thats when they found me and my girlfriend and separated us and brought me here.”

“…Which would be?” Brennan asks curiously, his elbow resting on the bar as he looked to the other. A laugh burst from the Fae’s lips as the other boy realized his mistake. “Oh I love being right. It’s kinda cute you messed it up, however.” With a shake of his head to ignore the other being ‘cute’, he downed the rest of the bottle fast and set it down again. 3 really wasn’t a lot for the elder, but beer was filling, so it was always a task to do it fast. “Not Bias, of course.” Brennan’s eyes rolled back in his head at the other again before perking up. “Oh no. Not Mr.Carlisle. Just- Carlisle. I’d say Mr.Carlisle is my father but he’s been dead far too long for  that joke.”

“Well gee, you haven’t even rented me out for dinner yet. I may be a slave but I’m not easy,” He joked, feeling very pleased with the fact that he had been called cute. He was actually really enjoying himself talking to the Seelie master, something he hadn’t really experienced with the others yet. “Oh, so now I’m cute,” He gushed, leaning his chin on his hand with his elbow on the bar. “Oh, I thought Mr. Carlisle was sexy. Like, you’re my teacher and you fuck me on my grad day, you know?”

brennan-carlisle‌:

“Depends…are you into punishment?” His right brow raises, curved and curious, his lips matching. He finishes his beer and takes the other as the glasses hit the bar top. “I think you’re remembering Dopey wrong. Which I guess now also fits for you.” Brennan winks as he clinks his beer bottle neck to the Bloody Mary glass just to down about half of it after. “Ah- well Dopey-Mopey it could be then. Maybe Bryce if I’m feeling Nice. Or need a rhyme.” He pauses, thinking about it with a softer smile on his lips, and how to ‘reveal’ himself. “Carlisle.” He decides simply after a moment. “Brennan is too Informal and Sir is too formal if you’re not mine.. Just- Carlisle.”

“Possibly some kinds of it,” He responded playfully, studying the features on the master’s face. “Oh, shit, you’re right. It is Dopey,” He laughed, feeling the effects of the alcohol in just the right amount. “Bryce is probably the best option. Not that I’m biased or anything,” He joked, waiting for his response to the name question. He couldn’t help but grin at him, shaking his head. So, his name was Brennan. “Alright then, Mr. Carlisle, It’s a pleasure to meet you,”
