it means spring.

"I think you can't wait for someone to fly underneath you and save your life. I think you have to save yourself."

mossy-daisy​:

“Good, good.” Daisy’s feet played in the water as her hands gripped at the grass. “Then we will be good friends.”

“I could use a few more friends, I think.”  Vyrnal said, offering the other a small smile. She had people she could count on in this town, but with others dropping like flies around her, she never really knew where she could stand with people.

[vyrnalackerman]

necrcmancr​:

She had a point and that’s what scared her the most, would she end up a heartless and miserable woman in 10 years? 20? 50? 100? Who knew. But for now she needed to focus on the here and now. “Is she okay?” she asked, visibly worried, “my boyfriend is a Windham, and if I’m going to be a part of this town I need to know things. So please, don’t hold things back from me”

Vyrnal wasn’t sure how much she should tell the other, especially given her new affliction and links to the Windham family, anything she knew about the Marsh’s could end up coming back to hurting her, or her sister. “Well, she’s alive. She was attacked by a wolf that night, so you can work out how that’s ended up.” A wolf and vampire living under one roof was something of an anomaly in this town, that was for sure. “You don’t want to get stuck in the middle of it, I mean it.”

jacqueline-windham​:

“After 300 years, there’s still a lot I have to learn.” Jacqueline was never one to admit anything like that, but she trusted Vyrnal wouldn’t use that against her. “There are more, but the queen is not one.”

“Well great, that means that there is even more out there for me to learn. Good to know I can’t run out of things though.” She offered with a shrug, although it was other comment that got her interest. “Who? You can’t say things like that and not tell me exactly who.”

[vyrnalackerman]

elenore-mendoza​:

“Hunters that aren’t related to you.” Elenore corrected herself with an eye roll. The second the other words came from Vyrnal’s lips, her eyes widened. “What happened? I’ll get them back.”

Vyrnal couldn’t stop the small smile that formed on her lips as Nora confirmed she’d get the hunter back, the idea had crossed her own mind a couple of times.  “It was the night GK was killed, I was out for a walk and bumped into her. I think she thought I’d killed him. I tried to tell her, but before I could do much she’d stuck a branch through me.”

[vyrnalackerman]

autymn-ackerman​:

“How about we finally bingewatch American Horror Story?” Autymn asked. She had been wanting to watch the show for a long time, thinking that it would keep her interest due to her life. “Or do you think a scare might be a bad idea?” She helped her sister to the bed, taking off her bloodied jeans and shirt to get on clean pajamas. 

"That works for me.” It would at least keep her occupied enough to try and take her mind off of everything that had happened, and there were enough seasons she was sure for them to get through without worry. “I think scary is just the thing I need. Maybe I’ll get some ideas as to how I’m going to get my own back on the redhead that did this to me.” She was only half joking.

[vyrnalackerman]

gabrielhcle​:

“If you say so,” was all he replied with, knowing that a. he had said all he could and b. he wasn’t one to push his beliefs, if she didn’t want to take what he said into account then that would be her fault. Even more color managed to fade from his skin as he realized that his ex-girlfriend tried to murder this poor girl and he nodded. “Yeah, yup, I think I know who you’re talkin’ about” he said quietly

The look on his face told Vyrnal everything that she needed to know about the hunter. She might not have known exactly who she was, but the man in front of her certainly did. “If you can tell her I didn’t kill GK that would be great. Because I don’t fancy my chances against her if I cross paths with her again and she finds out the branch she tried to stake me with didn’t get me properly.”

[vyrnalackerman]

luciusblackthrn​:

“It’s not exactly a picnic, but don’t worry, it won’t happen to you. Autymn and Summyr know how to take care of themselves” Lucius said. Summyr would probably get herself in trouble sometime because of her behavior but Vyrnal probably already knew that “I can keep an eye on them if you want”

Vyrnal nodded her head slowly, the thoughts of losing her sisters not one that she wanted to consider too much. “Just Summyr. She doesn’t speak to me.” She confessed. Having Autymn live with her meant that they were able to watch out for each other as much as they needed to. “But don’t tell her I asked you to, because she’ll probably come after me and make sure she finishes the job that time.”

[vyrnalackerman]

necrcmancr​:

“There’s nothing wrong with being human, being anything otherwise would be make me worried,” she chuckled, “just because you change species doesn’t mean you need to change how you behave morally” she added with a shrug, at least that was her point of view. “Oh,” she said, looking down, this war was serious and she was scared of getting involved, what if she or Balth or any of her friends were next? “I’m glad you weren’t hurt, though”

"True. But then sometimes I think living for forever might change your mind though.” Hers hadn’t changed yet, but she’d crossed paths with enough vampires to know that they might feel differently about it. One too many years looked like it might do that to someone. “Yeah I - I was busy taking care of my sister. She got hurt that night. But you know I don’t think you need to be involved if you don’t want to. With Katya and the Marsh guy dead, I don’t even know who’s leading the charge any more.”

[vyrnalackerman]

gabrielhcle​:

‘Hate to break the news to you, but the vein is your best bet at this point, if not your healing’s only going to be prolonged and you’re going to be defenseless, which is not good,” he shrugged, knowing he was probably going over the line but he genuinely wanted the best for the other. At that mention, the color faded from his skin and he looked forward, “right…”

Vyrnal sighed, knowing deep down that he was right in what he was saying. She hated it the idea that she might need to hunt, especially in her current condition, but it also bothered her having a wolf that might be right. “I’ll be fine. I’m sure I can manage. Or find something.” She shrugged. The way his face changed as she described the hunter had her interest, especially when she didn’t have too much detail on them. “Sounds like you’ve had a run-in with her before. There’s two redhead hunters in town. One’s my sister, Summyr, and the other did this I don’t know who she is though.”

[vyrnalackerman]

xxcameron-blakesley​:

“Yeah, that would be a decent scenario,” he chuckled. Cameron had never been much of a candy person, but he understood the feeling, albeit with other things. 

"Remind me to need to book a dentist appointment if that’s the case.” Vyrnal chuckled, though whether she’d actually eat them all was a different matter entirely. “Any other recommendations or do you think I have enough?”

[vyrnalackerman]

autymn-ackerman​:

“Asprin is a blood thinner.” Autymn said. She didn’t know what to do to help her sister either. “How about we get you into bed. If you rest you’ll feel better. I know you can’t sleep, but it might help. A few hours of rest…”

"I think rest will be a good idea. Pick a movie?” She asked, the thought of laying there with no background noise while she tried to deal with what happened didn’t particularly appeal to her. At least a movie could try and distract her. 

[vyrnalackerman]

elenore-mendoza​:

“I guess we can.” Elenore sighed. She walked alongside Vyrnal as she shopped, glancing along the aisles wishing she could taste any of it again. “Or it means we could find a hunter to take us out.”

Vyrnal let out a small chuckle at the others words. “Not as easy as it might seem.” She said, knowing that both her sister had almost-tried, and the redhead from the woods had made something of an attempt and the blonde was still here. “One tried to get me the other night.”

[vyrnalackerman]

jacqueline-windham​:

“You have forever to learn.” The vampire laughed at the thought of the other being a fetus. “Something along those lines. I have no idea how to make a family tree for it.”

“True. I suppose there will be little I won’t know by that logic.” Vyrnal chuckled to herself, the thoughts of being able to learn as much as she could about the world in the time she had both sadenning and daunting. “It would be enormous. Imagine if there were more vampires on there. Maybe the Queen herself is.”

[vyrnalackerman]

mossy-daisy​:

“You do not.” Daisy said with certainty. She wished that she could have used sarcasm to tell the woman she obviously had a reason to attack, but she absolutely could not.

“Then I think it’s a good deal.” Vyrnal said, offering the other a smile. “If I wouldn’t have any reason to defend myself against you, then I’m not going to attack you for the fun of it. I’m not that vampire.”

[vyrnalackerman]

necrcmancr​:

“I know, I know she’s a good person but she worries too much,” she sighed, wondering if she was saying the rights things to the right person or if this would go back to Nora. She had appeared confident, but she was still scared shitless and she managed to put up a decent facade. “Oh, okay…” she said, looking down, “what… what happened to her?”

Vyrnal let out a small laugh. “She might not be human any more, but... she’s human, if you know what I mean.” They both were, in the way that worried about others more than some of the older vampires that she knew. Her humanity was something she clung on to, and hoped she wasn’t likely to lose it. “She was killed, in one of the battles. One of those things in this town. I was... otherwise occupied, when it happened.” Too busy looking after my lycan sister.

[vyrnalackerman]

mossy-daisy​:

“Then I’ll make sure that I don’t give you any, no matter how much you want to get drunk.” Daisy smiled at the vampire. “I’m glad you don’t want to attack me.”

"I think that’s a good deal.” Vyrnal agreed, though despite what she’d heard about fae blood, it wasn’t something that she had found overly appealing. Maybe it was because she’d never had it before. “I don’t have any reason to attack you, do I?”

[vyrnalackerman]

elenore-mendoza​:

“Though if it weren’t for this curse, I wouldn’t have met Brooke or you.” Elenore hated that she wouldn’t have met her best friends without the curse. “We’ll get through it.”

“True, I suppose at least we can thank it for something.” Vyrnal said, offering the other a sad smile. Even if she would never have known Nora without it, there was a still a part of her that perhaps would take it all back if she had the chance. If she could bring back her parents. “I don’t think we have a choice. Immortality kinda means we have to get through it, don’t we?”
