A HOWL IN THE NIGHT

Should I have one more drink?

Well then Mr. Designated Driver, make sure I don’t embarrass myself too much once I get completely wasted. Okay?

I suppose I can do that.

Should I have one more drink?

I lost count after the first ten shots but I am sure I will reach my limit soon enough. Jealous?

#yup sarah and stefan #c;gwen

You know I don't care much about getting drunk. I'm the responsible one.

Should I have one more drink?

I am sure the hangover tomorrow won’t be pleasant.

Surely you're tolerance isn't that bad, Gwen.

Dominic was so set in not hurting anyone that he might be missing the bigger picture here. Not having to turn and being able to protect his loved ones should be more important than hurting someone he barely knew, even if that someone was one of Amelia closest friends. “I think you should do it.” She commented absentmindedly, while getting more comfortable on her seat. “Sam will be fine. She’s a sneaky one.” Knowing that he’d probably ask about who Sam was, Amy darted her tongue out to wet her lips and sighed, running her fingers through her hair, making them fall over her shoulders. “Yeah, I know her.”

When Nic asked about how she was holding up, Amelia simply shrugged. Tossing her problems on his lap was only going to make her more emotional, so, it would be best if she just kept her mouth shut. Or maybe, she could try and lie about it. “I’m alright. The worst is over.” Which was a lie because there wasn’t a day that she didn’t think about Nana and what she would do if something happened to her parents and Nina. Closing her eyes, Melia let out a sigh as she got more comfortable, resting against his body. His scent was even more intoxicating now that her senses were heightened. “I’ve always liked the way you smelled. It smells like home… It’s comfortable.” A small smile appeared on her lips as she kept her eyes closed, and soon that smile turned into a smirk. “Well, isn’t anything that I can do to make you spill this secret, Nic?”

"Maybe I should but at the same time I am giving up the option of having a normal life, or getting married and having children," he shrugged slightly, not thinking much of what he said. It was what kept him from entertaining the idea of becoming a hybrid but on the other hand, he would have Owen and Gwen by his side, perhaps that is all that he needed. "I don't know, let's stop talking about all of that. Though honestly, it's good to have someone other than my family to talk to." He smiled gently, glancing down at her as he turned the car towards the beach.

"My smell? Maybe I should figure out how to bottle it up and give it to you?" Dominic smirked slightly as he pulled into a parking space at the beach. "No need, we're here," he spoke, sliding out of the car and jogging around to open her door and help her out. "I know it's not much but I figured it's a change at the very least." He smiled gently, leading her onto the beach.

Amelia bit softly on her bottom lip, listening to him tell her about how life had been for him, growing up with this curse. It seemed unfair that he didn’t have a choice and she sort of had one, even if now it seemed like the dumbest thing that she had ever chosen. “You know…” The redhead looked at him, paying close attention to Dominic’s features while he drove them away from New Orleans. “We tend to think that we wouldn’t know what to do if we didn’t have a family or if things were different from what we once knew and I know I’m a master in doing that, but… That’s the beauty of human nature. We adapt.” It almost seemed silly that a vampire could be talking about being human, especially now that she was beginning to feel rather thirsty, but somehow, she still felt a little bit close to her human self. “I think that no matter what you choose, if whether a hybrid or a werewolf, then it has to be your choice and not something that Owen wants. Even if you choose not to live forever, then… he’ll understand it. Okay?”

She had never been that much good with words. Numbers were more like her thing. Numbers and complex theories and yet, losing her human side seemed to have brought her closer to whatever she had learned when she had taken Social Studies classes in the past. Besides, Dominic made it easier for her. He always seemed to make things easier, whether it was easier for her to kiss him or easier for her to use words. When he teased her, the redhead playfully smacked his shoulder, chuckling lightly as she teased him right back. “Hey, I didn’t hear any complaints back then, alright?” God, she was acting like a teenager, wasn’t she? Smiling all around, feeling rather nervous. Ugh, what the hell. “Fine… Where are you taking me, Nic? Please… Please I need to know.” Again, she teased.

There they were talking about human nature, and neither of them were human. It was ironic at best. "It's just he has been so set on keeping us all together, but I don't really want to become some guy's servant and the girl we have to take blood from. I don't want to hurt her either. I guess it is just a long conversation I'll need to have with my brother once I get back. But enough about me, how are you holding up?" He questioned, wondering how she was taking the transition from human to vampire. He knew it wasn't easy, that was for sure.

"You will get no complaints from me, I like when pretty and intelligent red heads kiss me," he smirked slightly, glancing down at her. It felt good to actually at his age. "Nope, to late, my lips are sealed until we get there. I just can't wait to see your expression once we get there." He grinned wolfishly as he turned off an exit, getting closer to his destination.

The mention of Owen made her turn and look at Dominic, who seemed rather distressed about this whole hybrid ordeal. She wouldn’t blame him… Not after spending her whole life — so far, of course — as human and now, have recently be turned into a vampire. “You should suck it up, though. You’ll never know how hard it is to not be able to spend some time with your family.” Amelia knew she was being whiny about this. Maybe she was still in that stage of grief or something. “He cares a lot about you. He just wants to be able to keep you all together, from what I’ve gathered.” Letting out a sigh, the redhead moved her hands to her hair, pulling it up to pin it in a loosen bun. ”Talk to him… if you don’t want to become a hybrid, he can’t make you, but… don’t push him away, okay? He’s a nice guy and… he has this kind of… pack thing. He needs to take care of you and your sister.”

Then, she felt his hand in hers and parted her lips, wishing she had something to fill in the silence, but luckily, Dominic got there first. Biting her bottom lip, certainly blushing if she had any blood running through her veins. “I like spending time with you too, Nic. I’m just… taking things slow this time. You know… since jumping on you and kissing you didn’t exactly work the last time and I’m not ready to start building probability charts.” She let out a small giggle and looked out the window again, before she moved closer to him, resting her head on his shoulder. “No… I think I’m okay. The mystery keeps it interesting, don’t you think?”

Dominic nodded slightly, knowing that Amelia was right. He was lucky to still have Owen and Gwen, some people who don't have any. "I know he does, but my whole life it's been about this curse I have, becoming a werewolf. I never really wanted this." He spoke honestly with a sigh,"but they are my family and they are all I really have. Without them I would have no idea what to do." He thought about asking her, if she had the choice would she have become a vampire? If she would have been given up the chance at a normal life, of having a family? But he didn't, instead he stared ahead at the road following the route he had mapped out earlier that day.

"I don't blame you," he admitted, nudging her slightly,"and we can go as slow as you want, I'm not going to push you but I also don't plan on running off again. Not that my promises probably mean much." He chuckled softly,"I have never been a big fan of mysteries but whatever floats your boat, Melia." He smiled gently.

Maybe she should have stayed home, or at least, she could have told Dominic that she couldn’t leave… perhaps to make him feel rejected as well. She wasn’t in love with him, Amelia was certain of that. It wasn’t possible, especially knowing so little about him, but there was a part of her, a huge part of her, that didn’t want to be as bitchy to him, as she had been when they first saw each other after that college party. Shit happened, especially in her life. Okay, fine. Not especially in her life, but it did. He could have the right to vanish and not give her any explanations, after all, they weren’t a couple. They weren’t anything. Still, she accepted his offer to get out of town and stared at the window after she was sitting on his passenger seat.

The car smelled like pine trees and she almost smiled, remembering how much her grandma used to like that scent. Her house would smell of pine trees if it was up to her. Pulling her legs up to the seat, Amelia wrapped her arms around them, resting her cheek on her knees, finally seeing Dominic sit behind the wheel. Her chest would often tighten whenever the young vampire thought about her grandma and what happened with her. With both of them. Old and young Amelia. Pursing her lips together, she chuckled softly, looking up at Dominic, feeling the car chime under her as Nic turned it on.

“We all know that road trips are so much more fun than sex. Besides, not that many guys make it to number three anyway.” Shrugging, she turned to face the roads of the city that she loved so much, trying to forget about the things that were bothering her so much. “How is Owen?” During Dominic’s absence, the redhead had become rather close to the older Reeves man, getting almost to a friendly level. She would never be able to figure that out, being lazy as hell with things like these. There was a moment of silence in the car. The friction between the asphalt and the wheels, was the only noise around them and somehow, Amy loved that. It was almost peaceful…

Amelia glanced out of the window, keeping her mouth shut as she lowered her window and stared outside, feeling the wind kiss her face. “Thank you for this, by the way. You didn’t really have to.”

Dominic wasn't exactly experienced when it came to girls much less dating itself. He had been with one girl when he was seventeen, a swift relationship that he didn't want to repeat. He didn't want to rush into anything with Amelia, he didn't want to push her and he was nearly positive that she didn't exactly trust him yet. With good reason though.

"I suppose it depends on who you are taking the road trip with," he chuckled softly, turning out onto the main road that would lead them out of New Orleans. "Owen is...Owen," Dominic shrugged slightly, brushing a hand through his hair,"I haven't seen much of him since I have been back, all I know is that he is trying to push the idea of becoming a hybrid. I'm not so convinced though..." He shook his head before glancing over at her.

His hand reached out and gently took her's, interlacing their fingers as he brought it towards him. "I wanted to, I like spending time with you Amelia," he admitted before grinning,"besides, aren't you interested in knowing where I am taking you?" He countered with a perk of his brow.

Amelia was sitting by the porch, watching as the sun hit her Lapis Lazuli ring, reflecting its light as if trying to distract herself while Hanna was out running some errands. At least the redhead would have her laptop and equipment soon, because she would end up going crazy if she couldn’t finish her projects. She had everything all ready for a great mathematical discovery, something that she knew no one had thought about before. At least not the same way that she had and Amelia couldn’t miss the chance to be recognized by her efforts, especially on things that she knew that she was good at, such as Math. If she were able to prove herself in mathematics, then she would move to physics, another one of her specialties.

Tugging on her sweater’s sleeves, Amelia moved her hands up to cover up her eyes, trying to focus on not hearing anything around her. This vampire bullshit was so stressing and nerve-wrecking. Letting out a sigh, she finally averted her eyes up and saw Dominic standing over there. Wait, had been standing there for too long? How long had she been covering her ears for? Whoa, time certainly moved differently for vampires.

“Hey… I thought you could use some time out of town.” He said, dangling his car keys, causing Amelia to chuckle.

Now that her emotions were enhanced, she was very hesitant in getting involved with Dominic, afraid that he might vanish again and leave her in a worse position she had been before. Still, she needed to get away from everything and everyone. His suggestion sounded very, very tempting. Nodding once, Amy asked him to wait a minute and pushed herself up, brushing her hands against her shorts before she went back inside to borrow a pair of flat shoes from Caroline and grab her bag, so that she could go with Dominic.

“You know….” The redhead said, smirking at him as she stepped out of the mansion. “I shouldn’t go on road trips before the third date. That’s against my personal rules.” Still, she opened the car door and slid into the back seat.

Dominic still felt the guilt in the pit of his stomach when it came to Amelia, he had never meant to abandon her like her did but when the full moon came he knew that he had to protect her. He couldn't risk hurting her because he would never forgive himself but now...he was gone to long to even protect her. She was a vampire now, something that should be his mortal enemy but he would never view her that way. In his eyes she truly remarkable.

He knew she was being overwhelmed right now, if first being a werewolf was anything like first becoming a vampire. So he thought it best to get her out of New Orleans for the day, keep her mind of everything and give her a day of normality. It was the least he could do after disappearing on her.

"Well if I claim to be kidnapping you than you don't have to worry about your dating rules," he smirked, sliding into the driver's side and cracking up the car. "You're rule is you can go on road trips on your third date? Wow, you move fast." He teased her with a smirk.

Well then.

[slides her hands to the back of his neck, pulling him down towards her, before his scent made her stomach turn, causing the veins under her eyes to appear. She steps back, turning her back on him and pressing her eyes shut, covering her face]

Hey, hey. [places his hands on her waist and turns her towards him] It's okay, Amelia, it's okay.

Maybe if I fall asleep, I won’t breathe right, Maybe if I leave tonight, I won’t come back.

Well then.

Okay…. [pushes herself to the tip of her toes, cupping his face in her hands while kissing him back]

[smirks slightly, pulling her closer as he wraps his arms around her waist, his lips moving fluidly against hers]

#c;amelia

Well then.

[stays in silence for a moment, pursing her lips together] You’re not an idiot, Nic.

Ah… I—um…

#daniel has like no kissing gifs #c;amelia

Stop talking. [leans down and captures her lips in a gentle kiss]

Well then.

How can you care about me? You barely know me. We’ve talked a few times and we kissed at that party, but that was it…. You don’t—even know me.
