"Me? Well I do suppose I most not look my best lately. Georgie still having trouble sleeping full nights so he keeps me up at night." Replied the tired mother.

Context: Phantom fates is a Au of mine created based on @vampire-joestarâ vampire Jonathan Au. As they promised to a vampire Jonathan transformed by Dio, Erina and Speedwagon lived their long human lives at the side of their beloved Jojo. But as they grew old to a venerable age, it was clear that Erina and Speedwagon would inevitably die in a close future, leaving Jojo alone. They knew Jonathan would still have Joseph and his family but they too would die eventually. Not wishing for Jonathan to go trough that cycle of grief alone, Erina goes to Speedwagon with the idea to use one of the remaining stone masks to turn themselves into vampires. They were supposed to transforms at the same time after Speedwagon finish dealing with stuff at the SPW foundation but Erina felt death coming soon and had to transforms in 1950. (Speed transforms in 1952). During the mid 1980's, Erina and Jonathan where blessed with their second child, Giorno Edward Joestar. Despite them being vampires, Giorno was born human. Giorno was born with his papa blue hair but it started to turn blond as Jonathan developed a stand. But as Dio came back, so came the Stand curse. Both Giorno and Holly were terribly inflicted by it. Jonathan went with the crusaders, Erina stayed in japan with her medical team to take care of Holly and Giorno and Speedwagon went back to his foundation to help monitor the crusaders.
The house was silent, the few occupants having gone to sleep. Everyone but Erina. Being a vampire, she did not need to sleep, although it was something she regularly indulges in to give her a semblance of humanity. The bedroom she was in was only lit up by a single night lamp, giving an orange hue to the room. More medical equipment had been brought for Giorno and Holly as their condition continued to worsen. Erina raised her eyes from the medical book she was reading and looked at her son and great granddaughter with a pained expression. It had been weeks now since the curse had inflicted them and Jonathan and the others left to find Dio. Their body and spirit had been resilient so far but they were starting to become more and more ill. Erina took Giorno tiny hand and gave it a gentle squeeze.
â Just hang out a little bit more Sunshine, papa and the others are going to make things right and you will be all better. He will not take you, not you tooâŚâ
A tear rolled down Erina's cheek. She was fully aware that Giorno had not for long and would most likely die before Holy did. Perhaps it was due to him being a young child, maybe it was because he got sick before Holly or maybe it was due to the fact that he was a more direct descendant to Jonathan than Holy. All that Erina knew was that her little boy was about to die and she couldnât bear the thought of losing a second child to Dio. Suddenly the phone in the room started to ring. The vampire quickly picked up the phone, not wishing the ringing to wake up anybody in the house. Who was calling in the middle of the night anyway?
âYou have reached the Kujo residence. The family is absent for the moment, may I take your messageâ
âOh Granny itâs you! I was expecting Suzi to answer.â Came Joseph 's voice from the phone.
âJoseph! I am relieved to hear from you! Suzi has been asleep for a moment Iâm afraid. Do you want me to wake her up?â Erina asked.
âRight, the time zones, I forgot about them. No need to wake her up, just tell her me and the others are alright. We just arrived in Egypt and we will start traveling north to Cairo shortly. If everything goes right we should be there by the end of the day. How is Holy and Giorno fairing?â
âNot good I am afraid. We had to put Holly on a ventilator two days ago and her fever has gotten higher. Her heartbeat is stable but a bit slow, nothing alarming for the moment however. We are keeping a close eye on it.â
âAnd what about Giorno?â
ââŚâ
âGranny?â
âJoseph⌠Could you pass me to your grandfather if he is with you? I need to talk to him about Giornoâ
âOf course.â
Erina heard Joseph call Jonathan name and some shuffling before her husband picked up the phone.
âHello dear, you wanted to talk to me?â Came Jonathan 's voice.
Hearing his voice brought comfort to Erina, she had not heard of him in weeks, only hearing about the progress from Robert as the Speedwagon foundation was monitoring the crusaders. Erina wished she could be at their side to help, but she knew Giorno and Holly needed her. Beside, there was only one super Aja stone and Jonathan was using it to be protected from the sun.
âYes⌠I need to talk to you about Giorno state and I do not bring good newsâŚâ
âGo onâŚâ
Erina looked at Giorno. The beeping of the heart rate monitor would be annoying to someone but for Erina it was comforting, a reminder that the child was still clinging to life. He looked so tiny and frail under all the medical equipment that helped him stay alive. It pained Erina to no end to see her son like this. Gods, she could already feel the tears forming her eyes before she even started to explain the situation to Jonathan.
âGiorno⌠Giorno is not going to last for long. His fever has reached dangerous levels and even with the ventilator he struggles to breath. Jonathan, yesterday he⌠he flatlinedâŚâ
âH-he what? Is he-?â
âWe brought him back!â Exclaimed the woman, interrupting him before he could finish his sentence. âGiorno is still alive butâŚâ
The vampire broke down into a sob as she recalled the event of yesterday.
âIt took everything to reanimate him! I really thought we were going to lose him! If that wasnât of Emilyâs quick thinking he would haveâŚI was not even at his side when his heart stopped. I was in the garden and if it werenât for the fact Iâm a vampire, I would have never have heard the monitor alarm! Thank god she was there! I would have never forgiven myself if he had died!â
âErinaâŚâ
âHe wonât survive if his heart stops a second time. Itâs painful seeing him closer to deathâs door every day. I canât bear losing a child, not a second time!â
Jonathan was unable to speak a word as he listened to his wife's heart wrenching sobs. There were so many things he wanted to say but the feeling of guilt and failure were like two hands over his mouth, keeping him from speaking. Last night's dream was still haunting him. A child version of George was asking why he abandoned him to die and why he was doing the same to his little brother. The scene quickly had changed for George and Giorno laying dead at Dio's feet who was sitting on a throne, taunting Jonathan; âHow many members of your family will I be able to kill before you finish me off for good hmm~? Oh but let us not fool ourselves, I WILL have the time to kill every last one of them because you are too weak to finish me! I will rise from ashes again and again and you will continue to carry your shame for eternity!â
The worst part is, he was right. Dio would never stop targeting his family. All because he had been careless during the Windknight battle and Dio escaped, robbing him of his humanity at the same time.
âIâŚI made a decisionâ Erina said with a shaky voice. âI know you will disagree with it so I will not go through if you do not approve of it, but it might save Giorno if the worst were to happen.â
âWhat are you thinking about?â
âIfâŚâ Erina hesitated âIf Giorno were to flatline again and before it is too late, I will use my healing blood on him. He will most likely become a vampire because of this. I know vampirism is something that you would never wish on anyone, it was different for Robert and me as it was our own choice, but I am running out of options to save him. I am aware it will not be his decision and it will be forced on him like it was for you. If he grows up hating me for turning him into a vampire then so be it. I prefer to have a child that will hate me than a dead child.â
ââŚâ
âJonathan?â
âI never wished for Giorno to become a vampire. I wanted him to live a fulfilling human life and enjoy every moment of it, but I agree. I canât bear the thought of losing him as well. If it comes to that, we will be there to guide him to this new life.â
âI plan on doing the same to Holy, but I will not take this decision. Joseph, Suzi Q and Jotaro will be the one to decide. Suzi Q needs time to think about it. Can you talk about this to Joseph and Jotaro?â
âOf course, but Erina?â
âYes dear?â She replied.
âWe are almost there, they will be saved and soon they will get better. Please trust usâ
âYou know I already do Jojoâ Erina said, a fond smile forming on her lips.

"I just wanted to make sure you were alright" Erina asked. It was clear in her face she showed concern for Jonathan. He had not exactly been the same recently.
â Erina!âŚâ Jonathan gasped, but he quickly slumped back a little and looked away to avoid her realizing that he is indeed different. â I uhhâŚits nothing, dearâ Jonathan said, but there is indeed something wrong. he looks very pale.
"It does not look like nothing Jojo. You are pale as a sheet. Are perhaps coming with illness?
Erina approached Jonathan to make him look at her. She placed the back of her hand on his forehead and then move it down to his cheekbone, looking for signs of fever. What she felt was not what she had expected.
"You are freezing cold! It is to a point you must be nearing hypothermia. We need to keep you warm! And your eyes! Correct me if I am wrong, but your eyes seem to have turn red as well."

Getting characters to meet and interact for the first time can be tough to play out.
Lots of people find the first meetings between strangers to be difficult to plan, or boring to play.
Reblog this if you donât mind skipping the intro RP and instead jump-starting interactions by plotting out what relationship your characters might have, be they friends, enemies, lovers, antagonists, etc.
Had he been that obvious in his actions? He wanted to think he hadnât, but the signs made it impossible for him to truly believe so. The blond man froze on the spot as if a bucket of ice cold water had been thrown on him; his eyes shut and his head lowered a tad once more, as he waited for a negative reaction, a reprimand or anything. There had been none, though. No words even from Erina, just a simple monosyllable that seemed to indicate that she had glued whatever pieces she had of that secret puzzle together. And he cursed himself in silence.
Whether that was really the case or not, Robert was thankful that she had decided not to make any comments on the matter, at least for the time being. Despite her not giving any signs of rejection âor disgust, evenâ towards him so far for not only being âone of thoseâ, but also for having fallen for none other than the man whoâd had become her husband. Robert had no solid cues or clues to determine what her stance on all this was, and he knew a proper explanation was going to be necessary eventually but, for now, it would be best for them to let the subject just slip away. No need to put even more weight on their shoulders than they already had.
Honey brown hues then went to try to meet Erinaâs as she spoke once more, but failed to do so as the lady was the one lowering her gaze this time, seeming âand soundingâ defeated. After the ordeal sheâd gone through on that boat, seeing the chaos that bastard Dio had caused and the several lives he took, forced to see her husband die right before her, and the days that followed afterwards before she could reach dry land once more, he had no doubts about the impressive strength this woman had. However, that did not mean she was immune to an agony as abysmal as this, the agony of losing someone so dear in such a tragic way. Robert understood that, or at least he thought he could, knowing that, had he been in her place at the time, he would have struggled with himself in that same manner that she had, wishing for nothing but to stay by Jonathanâs side until the very end. Who knows, maybe whatever awaited on the other side would be much kinder to them but, mainly, to Jonathan, the man whoâd had his life cut short after being permanently cursed with tragedy from a very young age. The same man whoâd deserved so much better than what he got.
Robertâs eyes followed the motions of Erinaâs hands as they went to rest on her belly. This was their first time meeting after the shipwreck, so Speedwagon hadnât had the chance to even notice the bump on her abdomen until now. As she spoke about the uncertainty of the âupcoming monthsâ, it all clicked together, and he felt like all the air in his lungs had been sucked out. His widened gaze went up to try to meet Erinaâs once more as he perked up a tad, leaning forward a little in his seat.
âMrs. Joestar⌠Is⌠Is that⌠Could it beâŚâ Words failed him, and he inwardly cursed himself again as he rearranged his thoughts before he tried again. âDoes that mean what I think it doesâŚ?â Perhaps not the most eloquent way to ask about it, sure, but there was something overwhelming âin a positive way for a change, even in these dark times they were going throughâ about the possibility that part of Jonathan, against all odds, still lived on.
Ah, it would seem that it was Robert turn to read Erina like an open book. Realizing she had placed her hands on her stomach without her noticing and with what she just said, Speedwagon clearly had realize she was with child and that made her panic internally, although, she tries to not show it. It was a secret that she desperately wanted to not be discovered. To be already be showing signs of pregnancy so soon after the wedding? One could easily guess that the conception of that child might have been done before matrimony to which was terribly frown upon in their society. After a moment, the young woman eventually relaxed. Erina remembered what kind of background Robert was coming from. Surely he had witness far more worse offenses in his life and he would not judge her for something that he probably did not even consider an offense in the first place.
She finally raised her gaze to meet with Speedwagonâs. She could see it. That rapidly raising hope and joy in the middle of those pained eyes. Something about Robert hopes caused Erina heart to shatter. Oh how much she wished that Jonathan was the one in front of her with that joy in his eyes at the reveal of that news. She burst to tears and brought her hands to her face. Between two sobs, Erina slowly nodded, finally answering Speedwagon question.
â I was going to tell him during our honeymoon, at the very last dinner we shared together but Jonathan ran off in the middle of it and Dio killed him! He died before he knew he was going to a father! He told me he always wanted to have a big family and wanted his children to feel like they were equally loved by him to not repeat what his father did. I donât know what to do! I canât raise two children alone! Not without him around!â
Erina continued to sob. Her thoughts went to the baby she had rescued from the shipwreck who she knew was sleeping upstairs. Not knowing the name of the child as itâs mother was killed in front of Erina eyes, the young woman had renamed the baby girl Elizabeth. The name of a strong queen for a small infant who managed to survive being lost at sea without food nor clean water for almost 3 days. It was not because of the lack of money that Erina could not care for Elizabeth. With Jonathan passing, she had inherited the Joestar fortune. She simply felt like she did not had the strength. She knew Jonathan would have probably wished for her to raise Elizabeth, but she couldnât do it. Not with their child on the way.
âI do hope it can correctly protect you agaisnt the elements and itâs not in ruins. I would not want you to get sick or cold! Well, more cold than you already are I meanâ
Erina got up when she heard the water in the kettle on the oven starting to boil. She went to the cupboard and was about to pick up two cups with two small plates but turned to Jonathan.
âDo you uhâŚ.Do you still still eat human food? I was going to make tea for the both of us.â Erina asked, unsure on how she could properly ask him about his new habits without sounding rude. She had accepted the situation, but it was still very strange to her. âI know you said you do not want to hurt anyone,but did you everâŚyou know⌠Are you starving right now?â
âThe cabin is quite alright! Itâs in good shape, suprisingly. Even if it werenât, Iâd be fine so long as it provided some refuge from the sunlight.âÂ
The vampireâs shy smile faded away as the subject of his new habits were brought up, and his expression shifted into more of an ashamed one. He hadnât harmed anyone, that much was true, but he still felt like a monsterous horror any time he thought about the fact that he now lived off of blood.
âWell- I could still eat regular food, I suppose I just.. havenât felt the need to ever since all this happened.â He admitted. âAnd⌠if youâre asking if iâve ever.. drained anyoneâs blood, the answer is no, I havenât.â
It took a moment before Jonathan continued. While he couldnât deny he was hungry, it wasnât anywhere near out of control. Not at the moment, anyhow..
âIf I was starving, I wouldâve done far more to stay away from you. The last thing Iâd ever want is to hurt you, and.. even if I lost full control of myself, I donât think that would change..âÂ
Erina carefully listened to Jonathan explanation as she prepared tea. There was a moment of silence from him before he started to talk again. Was is difficult for him to explain those thing? She started regretting asking him those questions to quell her curiosity.
âI seeâ She replied to him, bring the tray with the tea and some biscuit to the table before sitting down. âMy apologies if my question was too much.

It was a rainy early morning in the city of Liverpool. At the cityâs hospital, numerous doctors and nurse were getting themselves ready for their day ahead and replacing the night staff. In the nurse quarter, hidden behind a folding screen was Erina Pendleton helping a fellow nurse by tying up her corset while the later was going on with the new gossips she had learned the day before.
ââŚand apparently they have been seen exiting the room together. If you want my opinion, I think we will heard about a marriage between those two really soon to cover up a possible âunplanned accidentâ if you know what I meanâ said the brunette nurse, not even caring if Erina was not listening to her. âOh! Last one for today and this one is fresh! I heard from one the nurse from the night shift that apparently the Joestar manor has burned to the ground last night!â
Erina, whoâs focus was entirely on the constricting garment was taken by surprise when the name Joestar manage to pass her focus state and landed into her ears. She accidentally pulled the two string of corset too forcefully, which made the other nurse stop her rambling and gasp for air as she leaned forward.
âAh Iâm sorry Nora!â Erina excused herself as she loosened the corset. âWhat did you said about the Joestar?â
âOh! That the Joestar manor burned to the ground! Itâs Emily who told me. Apparently the whole family lost their lives in the inferno, except one the sons.â
âThatâs terrible!â Erina gasped. âWho was the son that survived?â
âUnfortunately Emily couldnât tell me because she wasnât assigned to the doctor treating him. He went straight to the intensive care when he arrived with an other injured man. Now!â Nora exclaimed, clapping her hands together. âI just need help with the back of the dress and I will be fine on my own!â
âOh, right!â Erina said, picking up the nurse uniform on the folding screen and passing it over Nora head.
As she helped Nora getting in the dress, Erina couldnât help to hear the word Nora said in her head. She grew anxious and hoped that Jonathan didnât die in the flames. Even when she was far away in India during her teenage years, she always had the young boy in her mind, although, like her, he was now a grown up adult. One of her biggest regrets always had been that she never said goodbye to him before she left for India, the shame of being kissed by Dio still gripping her. She had always hoped she would be able to see him again. However, she knew that fate was a cruel thing. It was probably Dio that had survived and the first and last time she would be seeing Jonathan was going to be in a casket. That is, if there was even a body recovered from the fire.
Once she finished buttoning the back of Nora uniform, she removed herself from behind the folding screen and joined the other nurses. She sighed. She had to stop thinking about the situation and focus on her upcoming day and beside, until she heard who was patient at their hospital, she shouldnât assume Jonathan was dead. At one point the head nurse came in the quarter with the list of the nurses assignment and pin it to the board. Erina walked to it and started looking for her name. Â When she found hers, she looked at the other nurses assignment out of curiosity. One them stood out like light in a dark room;
Miss Nora Greenwood
Assigned to Doctor N. Williams
Patient: Lord Jonathan Joestar
Relief and happiness rose in the young woman heart. Sure there were other patients on the list, but Erina only saw Jonathanâs name.
âNora we have to exchange assignment now!â
Erina didnât even realized she blurted loudly the request at first. All head turned to her and Nora voice could be heard behind the screen.
âWh-what?â
The head nursed intervened
âMay I know the reason of such a sudden request miss Pendleton?â
âYes, you see, the patient of doctor Williams happens to be a dear childhood friend of mine and I wish to be able to help him Mrs. Andersonâ
The head nurse was silent for a moment.
âWell it will only depends if Doctor Williams and Miss Greenwood agree to the exchange. I know for a fact that Doctor Williams appreciate your diligence at work Miss Pendleton and I doubt he will oppose the exchange. What about you miss Greenwood?â
Nora removed herself from behind the screen, adjusting her belt. âWhich doctor were you assigned to Erina?â
âDoctor Smithâ Replied the blond nurse.
âOh! Thatâs the cute new doctor! I heard heâs not married too! I agree to the exchange. Have a nice day with your âdear childhood friend!â Erina!â
âMiss Greenwood, need I remind you this is an hospital and not a courtship room! Since Miss Greenwood is agreeing, you may join Doctor Williams Miss Pendleton.â
Erina thanked Mrs Anderson and left the nurse quarter. She climbed the stairs to the third floor and found Doctor Williams in the hallway. After explaining the exchange to him, the doctor agreed.
âWhile I admire your resolve in aiding your friend Miss Pendleton, I must warn you that the sight of the young man is not a beautiful one. The poor lad suffered severe burns and fractures from head to toes. We were able to bring him to a stable state but he hasnât awoke yet. I know you already have seen your fair share of injuries, but I am also aware that seeing a familiar person hurt is hard. Will you still be able to do your work? I do not want any faltering nurse.â
âI will not falter Doctor Williamsâ She said, her determination clearly showing in her eyes
Satisfied with her answer, Doctor told the young nurse to follow him. He entered one of the room. Erina eyes went directly to the occupant of the bed as she entered the room. She couldnât help but stop in her tracks as she saw Jonathan for the first time in year. Long gone was the boy she knew, replaced by a tall and large man and yet, between the burns and bandages, she could see those same gentle features in his face from all those years ago. Seeing him covered in bandages was hard like the doctor had predicted but the joy of seeing Jonathan was stronger. She took a deep breath and straightens up her shoulder.
((close rp with @sendohamon))
The sun had set in England for about an hour now and Erina Pendleton was taking a stroll in a park. Many would have agreed it was dangerous and not safe for a young lady to be out this late. The fortunate thing, however, was that she was not alone. Holding on the arm of her fiancĂŠ, Jonathan Joestar, Erina was happily chatting with him. The two of them went to pass the evening in town and were about to head home once their walk in the park was done. Although they both enjoyed their night, Erina couldnât shake that strange feeling she had ever since they entered the park. She sometimes gave glances behind them, but not enough often to be alarming.
"Greeting, I am Erina Joestar a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Please make yourself at ease, I was about to make tea. Would you care to accompany me this afternoon?"
