songbirds sing

Olivia looks at Zyanya wide eyed. Was she suppose to find something wrong with the song? “R-Really, um, I-It sounded f-fine to me.” She gulps hoping she said the right thing.

“I’m going to play it a little differently now. Tell me if the second one sounds better.” Zyanya was gentle, smile still in place as she started to play the second version, it had a gentler tone.

She carefully took the bag and her fingers slipped inside, and when Kaitleen took it out, a soft, heartwarming curve of her lips lit up the whole place.

“It’s gorgeous, Anya, thank you,” her smile widened as she proceeded to wrap it around her neck for the pendant to fall onto her pale skin. Kai planted a kiss on the youngster’s cheek, then her forehead, hands caressing her shoulders. “I will be quick, yes? Just wait here,” moving back slowly she went out for a couple of moments only to come back with a..Puppy. A tiny, lovable, dressed in a sweater puppy held in her grip. “I really didn’t know if I could find a better present than this one.”

At her maker’s praise, Anya’s face lit up like a thousand suns. She was warm from the inside out, pleased that Kai liked what she’d put so much thought into, she let the tension slip from her. Ever since the night Kai had almost killed her, she had felt this guilt, the words she’d said, the things she’d accused her maker of, none of it was true in the least bit. She never wanted to reach that point with the blonde again. When Kai left the room, she waited patiently, still as a statue with no indication that she was anything living at all. She’d wait for Kai until the earth was nothing more than ash and then she would continue to wait. Luckily, it did not take long for the blonde to return-- with a puppy.

A smile curled her lips so fast, Anya felt as though it had been there from the start. The thing was precious, wriggling in her maker’s grip as it sniffed at everything, tail wagging uncontrollably.

“For me?” Anya could hardly believe it.

Olivia watched in awe as she played the notes. It was beautiful, Olivia cold hear nothing wrong with any of but then again she wasn’t very good with music. “It sounds amazing, I-I’m n-not sure what could be wr-wrong with it…” She said honestly.

“Really?”

“I don’t really know,I’m quite new to the whole doing stuff for people you love thing”

Anya shook her head and looked off at the trees, stirring in the wind. “There are more meaningful ways to show that you love someone. Valentine’s Day is a scam.”

Andreas hadn’t really experienced a holiday like valentines day properly but he had overheard people talking about how stupid it was. “Maybe to let more couples show what single people like me could have”

“Why would any one want that? It’s superficial.”

“What are you trying to do with it?” Kaitleen raised a brow, her eyes going up from papers to her daughter. Gaze lingering a few more seconds around her, she got up and sat on the edge of the desk instead. “Not really, no. Why?”

"Something called ‘on line shopping’? It’s quite convenient.”

Zyanya presented her maker with her present. She was saving her music for another date, the notes weren’t quite right, yet. Which left the brunette to haggle for the rare pendant that she’d acquired. It was two small golden roses twined around each other, set in an oval glass piece.

Marco fought a sigh of relief as his new walking mate quickly caught on to his little game, no questions asked. ❝ Much too long. ❞ The teen nodded in agreement, ❝ So long in fact that I’m afraid I can’t even remember your name. ❞ It was times like this that he wished he was an actual full blooded vampire and not just a halfling. He had no clan to run to for assistance, nor the full power to just tear the stalker to shreds. Marco cast his eyes aside, well aware of the fact that the more worked up he got about the situation, the more his eyes would give that anger away. There was no way of him checking but surely they were gold by now. ❝ May I ask where you are headed to? ❞

“Zyanya Leventis, but you may call me Anya.” She inclined her head and looked behind him for a moment, tilting her head as she noticed an oddly suspicious person lingering in the background. She focused her attention back on the stranger. “Oh, I am merely heading towards my home. You may accompany me.”

Olivia’s smile widened, if she’d known it was this easy to make friends she’d have tried a long time ago. “I’d love to listen, I may not be much help but I-I co-could try.”

She was so happy she could almost burst. Maybe coming to the island wasn’t so bad.

“Just listening will be all the help in the world. I appreciate it, truly.”

Zyanya opened the app and played the parts that she could, brows knit together in concentration.

Olivia beams up at the woman. While she wasn’t much for music, she knew plenty over phones, she did have three of them. “Of c-course.” It was a simple smart phone, she grabbed gently out of the woman’s hand and began to fiddle with it till she found the app.

“Here it is.” She said handing it back to her.

Zyanya waited patiently, feeling as though she truly lucked out. She’d managed to learn many things about her phone over the past month, but it was still a bit difficult for her to figure out-- especially when she wasn’t using it all that much. She only had, perhaps, three contacts altogether.

When the younger girl handed her phone back, Zyanya gave a rare beam of a smile, looking down to see the app. “Wonderful! Thank you, this will be so useful.” Now she wouldn’t have to go looking for a piano every time she needed to hear a phrase again. “Would you, perhaps, like to listen to the parts I am having trouble with?”

Olivia relaxes slightly and all but falls into the seat. Ok this was her chance, she just had to calm down. “I-I c-could Tr-try.” The woman seemed nice enough. Olivia could do this. She could. If only her hands stopped trembling so much.

“Oh, there’s no pressure or anything of that nature.”

“I’ve been working on a score, it’s a present for someone that I hold most dear to me.” Zyanya displayed the pages of scored paper for the other girl to see. “This device here,” the young vampire pulled out her cell phone, “well, someone told me that it has an-- well, um...an application that would allow me access to a piano? I can’t quite seem to find it, though. Would you might know how to...?”

There was no question that someone had been following Marco. From the moment he’d stepped out of Bloody Mary he could hear footsteps trailing not too far behind. He didn’t dare look behind him but instead came up with a plan.

❝ Hey, love! ❞ He called to the nearest stranger, linking their arms together. It was all going to be a show until he was sure the coast was clear. ❝ I haven’t seen you in forever, how’s it going? ❞

Zyanya’s eyes were drawn to the sight of a bird perched on a window sill, it was so reminiscent of her days spent in Venice, that she couldn’t quite look away. That was until she felt an arm hook through hers and an unfamiliar voice broke her nostalgic day dream. Easily as humans took to breathing, the young progeny placed her hand over the stranger’s hand and walked with him. She could guess as to why someone might pretend to know her, either to trick her or to trick another. Regardless, she was curious and a curious Zyanya played along.

“Has it been so long?”

Olivia hated herself. She should have known better than to leave her apartment and try to be social. She had a perfectly good coffee maker at her place, She didn’t need to go to the coffee shop that was pack with people. She should have at least brought her laptop as plan B. “H-Hi, um, i-is this s-s-seat taken?” She could feel her hands shaking.

Zyanya was working on a score for Kai, the brunette’s perfect script, charting out the notes on her page. She was at a stand still however, not quite knowing whether she wanted to change the middle part, when a girl approached her.

Zyanya looked from the girl’s trembling hands and worked her way up to her face. She could smell the nervousness coming off her in waves and the memory was fuzzy, but she could still remember feeling that way back when she was human. She shook her head with a small smile. “Not at all, love, perhaps you might be able to help me.”

“I feel as though, I’m figuring out this smartphone pretty easily.”

“Handy little things.” Zyanya was drawn into Kai’s orbit, a bag that looked suspiciously like a present hanging off her arm as she typed out a text to send off to one of three in her contacts list. She looked up from the small screen and smiled, putting the phone away. For all her bluster about Valentine’s Day, Zyanya had gone through various nooks and crannies of the island to get her maker a present. “You’re not busy, are you?”

“Well that’s just stupid,why can’t people just show their love with hugs,kisses or..sex”

“Precisely.”

“Or the occasional nice evening.” Despite being locked up for years, she hadn’t missed Valentine’s Day, it would come and go just like all other holidays-- meaningless in the round. The only true date that mattered was her and Kai’s anniversary, and the brunette was certain that was shared just between herself and her maker. “There must be something about it, though, it has been around for a while...”

“All right sweet heart,”

“I’m gonna need you to duck down.” The cigar puffed out a plume of smoke before the demon let it fall from his lips and smolder against the damp earth below. He fired once, hitting the wolf in the shoulder, and once again, blowing away another hunk from it’s side, successfully slowing the beast down. He pulled back and rolled his neck once, crack, and twice, crack, back ‘round.

“Ought’ta be more careful there,” he grinned, “Woods ain’t safe.”
