Boring Indeed (Karen-Open)

[Bill Schwarz]

Billa slipped on his sunglasses and walked down the street. His mood was bitter contempt. He looked up just to scowl at the sky. The sun was appearing from out of the clouds. He needed to find shade, shelter, anywhere, fast. He changed from a leisurely walk to a quick pace, his legs carrying him down the street and round the corner. He tried to stay away from prying eyes; for fear that the sunlight would hit him and show his true form. Occasionally he felt eyes on him and he would look up and give them a snarl and glare, his eyes almost boring a hole through his tinted glasses. Yes, he knew they could feel it. The supernatural feeling, something was off with the man. They knew, as soon as his eyes met theirs they would squirm and look away. He smirked, loving the way he could just control what they do with just one look. He was, after all the top of the food chain, they are nothing to him, almost like a bug, he could crush them easily.

But still human. That was the reason why he chose his victims so selectively. They have feelings; they yearn for something beyond this life. They dream, they have hope, and they wish for more. So close, they are one of the few that can think, touch, and adapt to the environment. Better than animals, better than anything, but being human and simply existing wasn’t enough. They thirst for knowledge. They want to understand, why are we here? Why do we exist? Are we along? Those questions, he knows them well. He was once human, he did wonder. Now, he didn’t care. All that’s on his mind is blood, and living. Those two are the only way he survives, no human can stop him.

He glanced the looming building, the mall. Should he go in? He already had his fill, he wasn’t hungry and he was wearing his contacts. Why not? He entered the mall and looked around. His eyes looking at the scene before deciding to walk into a store that interested him the most; not just any store, a designer store. He glanced at the makeup, before moving on, he removed his glasses to reveal chocolate, almond shaped eyes.

His wild look earned him looks, as usual. His response was to glare back. It didn’t bother him. He contined to walk from section to section, sometimes picked up something before returning it. He shook his head, nothing, not today. He exited and walked into Hot Topic, looking at the bracelets. Not usually the ones he would buy, but something there usually caught his eyes. He sighed and walked again. He wasn’t in the mood to shop, he was bored. He wanted something interesting. Something new. Maybe he should go hunting again tonight.

He, as he did with the first store, walked out of Hot Topic, walking from shop to shop, occasionally stopping to gaze inside before moving on. Yes, this would be a boring day indeed.

[Julieta Carmichael]

Julieta decided to go to the mall in Port Angeles that day since she was deadly bored that day and after wondering around and smelling her father's scent around she didn't want to go anywhere that day but she decided that she wanted to go to the mall that day instead. She loved the idea of going to the mall. That day she is wearing jeans and a blue tee shirt with a green sweatshirt on. She also had on sneakers since she really didn't mind all that much about doing anything or looking her best even though she got complimented a lot about her looks even when she didn't do a lot of stuff that day.

She grabbed her wallet and put that in her purse before grabbing her keys and putting them in her purse as well. She walked out of her apartment and locked the door before walking on toward Port Angeles well hitching a ride there. Once she was there she told her thanks to the people that drove her there before she continued on walking toward the mall. Once she was at the she started to walk around and look in the windows and if she liked what she saw in the windows she went in the store and looking around in it and buying some stuff. Especially in Bad, Bath and beyond she did that with since she loved that shop a lot. Well what kind of girl doesn't like that shop is a weird one by her standards. She was in her own little world until she bumped into some that she didn't know. She looked at him as she said "I am so sorry I didn't mean to bump into you at all." She smiled shyly at him.

[Bill Schwarz]

The sad thing was, he could have moved away, but too lost in his head, he didn’t. He mentally prepared himself for the impact, and just as expected, the silly human ran right into him. He clenched his teeth in agitation. Does no one look where they are going these days? The little…wait...she wasn’t human. No, he could smell er aright...but there was a fair amount of vampire in her. He turned his gaze to meet hers. His eyes darkening slightly, not from much, but from the sheer fact that he needed something interesting to do, and this was the answer, his thoughts snapped back to her. No, not just human, nor just vampire, she was a half-blood.

He nodded slightly as he kept his eyes leveled to her. ”It’s fine.” he answered shortly. She was an interesting one, pretty, almost like a vamp, but her flaws were still there. She was a half-blood, so she was a mix. Though she looked cute, even in her simple, plain, and cheap-looking clothes, she looked almost perfect, well, to human eyes anyways. This one…she’s new, not like the hybrid, nor the shifter, he’d never seen one like her before. What do you know? Pays living around here, supposedly the most boring state in the US of A. She was a vampire, so she should notice him off the bat, how would she respond?

[Julieta Carmichael]

Julieta didn't mean to bump into the guy and she smelled a smell that seemed a little bit familiar to her. As she was smelling she noticed that she was smelling a vampire smell. She looked into his eyes as she wasn't really afraid of that side not at all well not as much though. She looked into them as she continued to be amazed that she met someone that wasn't trying to kill her like her father. She heard him say ”It’s fine.” She nodded her head and said "Sorry again I didn't mean to I am not always like that." She then said softly "Are you a vampire?" She looked at him in the eyes after she said that but she can't really tell anything becasue of his shades.

She sighed since she never really meet another vampire or half-blood like her before well except for her father but her father just showed up and killed the two people that she loved so much. She sighed as she tried to push back the four images that came into her head one of her boyfriend when he was alive and then another one of him dead and the same with her adoptive mom. She didn't know why she kept on thinking about them since it has been a little bit of time from when she was at her home in Michigan.

[Bill Schwarz]

Billa glared murderously at the girl as soon as the words slip from her lips. She was the fucking half vampire herself? Why would she blurt that out in a mall? He scowled and took her hand, pulling her to the side of the mall, and slightly dark corner. “What were you thinking? Saying that out loud?” he muttered to her. “And yes, I am one. What? You’ve never seen another full on vamp before?” He snorted quietly and turned to see anyone was looking at them before looking back at her.

He wondered if she was a newb, after all, no one in their right minds would do such a thing. “Who are you?” he asked lightly, giving her a once over. He hadn’t been living here long, but he didn’t know there were half bloods that reside anywhere near here, considering the pack of dogs and the Cullens live nearby, well, not exactly nearby but close to mark territory. He watched her, waiting for her answer to his question, already getting impatient and snappy at any second.

[Julieta Carmichael]

Julieta looked at him as she waited for his answer but saw that he started to get mad and when he pulled her to the side of the mall. She looked at him when he said “What were you thinking? Saying that out loud?” She thought about that for a little bit but hey how was she suppose to now about what not to say since she has been living in Michigan with a human but not a vampire so she didn't know the rules at all. When she was about to say something she heard him say “And yes, I am one. What? You’ve never seen another full on vamp before?” She sighed as she said quietly as well "To your first two questions I didn't know there was any rules that I need to live by since I have been living with my adoptive mom who was a human and she wanted me since she and a few other nurses up in Michigan where I am from knew my true age instead of the one that I look like. Also to your last question I have seen one he was my dad who killed the two people that I love the most and is coming after me which is way I ran away from Michigan to Forks hoping to get a new start from all of that." After she mentioned that she felt tears starting to form in her eyes and she started to blink them away since she didn't want to look bad to this vamp since she is sort of afraid that he might be working for her father and go to him when she left and tell him where she was now living at. She then heard him ask her who is she. She sighed as she said "Do you mean my name? Cause if you are my name is Julieta Carmichael. And if you don't know my name then I don't know what I am all I know is that I look sixteen when I am actually only four years old." She shrugged at that since she really didn't know what she was at all but she knew that it might take her a while to get over her boyfriend though. She felt his eyes giving her a once over and she felt all self-conscious since she never had anyone do that to her not since her ex boyfriend up in Michigan did that to you before they became friends and then they started dating.

Billa sighed and rubbed his temples. Great, a crying girl and he have to deal with it, of all people. He wondered when he started acting like a bitch again, since a few days ago he was with Evelyn and he was fine. He turned to her and raised his brow on skepticism as she told him that she didn’t know there were rules. He was about to make a biting remark, but she kept going, telling him about her ‘age’ right…they age differently then normal humans, but not immortal like a normal vampire. What has this world come to? Half-breed? Hybrids?

He wanted to slap himself for her first answer “Of course there are rules, do you think we just announce who we are so every mortal can know?” he snapped, but felt some pity for her over her family. He sighed and rubbed his temples again. “Look, if he’s coming after you, just join a coven, they can protect you,” he informed her. “You living somewhere?” he asked, he felt strange; he was talking for a four year old. Maybe…no…that was out of question. He shook his head to get out of the sudden idea that popped out of nowhere, encouraged by the girl that doesn’t even know the one and only rule of vampires.

[Julieta Carmichael]

Julieta watched him as he started to rub his temples and sighing. She heard him say “Of course there are rules, do you think we just announce who we are so every mortal can know?” She nodded her head and was about to answer since she thought about it some but before she did she heard him say “Look, if he’s coming after you, just join a coven, they can protect you,” She then also nodded her head but then she thought about what to say but before she did say anything she heard him ask her “You living somewhere?” She then thought about what to say to this vampire. She then said "Okay to your first question no I didn't think that and hey I how was I suppose to know about these rules when like I told you before I was living with a mortal and I don't know any of these things since I wasn't raised by my father since with what I believe he didn't know I existed until he went looking for my mom and found out that she was dead becuase of me. And to your second one I didn't know about these covens at all since like I said I just moved to Forks and just found out about my dad being a vampire a couple of weeks ago. And to answer your second question yes I am living somewhere. I am living in a small apartment in Forks why?" She looked at him as she noticed him rubbing his temples again she sighed a she thought that he was doing all of that because of her. Yeah okay so she was actually four years old but hey she is a very smart girl since she learned how to talk and walk when she was still technically a new born and all of this other stuff.

[Bill Schwarz]

Billa nodded and sighed. “Okay then, since you’re new, how do you expect the Voultri to not come after you? Since you walk around speaking about us out loud and not even part of a coven to teach you the ropes?” he asked, then realized a few second too late, she might not even know who they are. “Never mind about that,” he muttered quickly. “Look, you need to find someone to learn the rules before they come and get you, and in the end, you’re gonna be just like your family, destroyed.” Harsh, he knew, but he was talking the truth, he wasn’t going to lie about it.

He turned around and looked around again, his eyes probing for anyone who was listening in with stray ears. He pulled off his shades to look less suspicious and draw less curious eyes and turned to her. “Do whatever, but if we are going to continue this conversation, we have to get out of here.” He glanced around again with his eyes, his contacts the same chocolate color it has always been and his almond shaped eyes sharp as they scanned the mall. He was even surprised she could keep up the act and not attack the next person that walked by, normally, no matter if you’re a half-blood or a full one, if your diet was blood at all, you would be jumping on everything that has a pulse.

[Julieta Carmichael]

Julieta looked at him as she didn't know where else to look at since he was actually standing in front of her and she couldn't really look to either side of him unless he was looking around the mall to see if anyone was watching and listening to them talk. She sighed when she heard him talk again. She heard him say “Okay then, since you’re new, how do you expect the Voultri to not come after you? Since you walk around speaking about us out loud and not even part of a coven to teach you the ropes?” When she was about to ask who the Voultri are she heard him say “Never mind about that,” She then closed her mouth when she heard him say another thing “Look, you need to find someone to learn the rules before they come and get you, and in the end, you’re gonna be just like your family, destroyed.” When she was sure he was done talking she opened her mouth to say "Okay I know that you said never mind about who ever these Voultri people are but who in the world are they and how do you know that they well be after me since I am pretty good when I do go out to eat and hey I like to eat human food more than I like to eat you know. So if that is true then why don't you since you are the only full on vamp that I know that hasn't tried to kill me like my dad." When she was done she crossed her arms in front of her chest as she looked at him in the face. She then heard him say “Do whatever, but if we are going to continue this conversation, we have to get out of here.” She then said "Okay all mighty person where do you think we should go then?" She looked at him as she did smell the people around her but she really isn't that hungry and hey like she told him a little bit ago she liked human food better than blood and plus she hasn't really been that hungry lately for blood yet.

Billa scowled, no where did he write in his schedule (if he had one) that he would be watching over a newb, nor did he plan to go and play teacher and teach her anything. He shrugged and looked around again, “Come on,” he grouched and took her hand, pulling her outside and into an alley, where the shadows were plenty. He walked to the corner where it was that darkest and used his mind to bend the shadow around both of them, covering them both into darkness. It was sunset, making it a lot easier for him; it would be a strain if it was in the sunlight. After 97 years of practice, he had no control over it. Only a bit, but it depends on who urgently he needed it, and when the last time he fed was.

He turned to her and relaxed, his mood lightening because he was outside and it was his favorite time of day. He turned to her and started to explain. “The Voultri, the oldest coven with the vampire, they are more like a ruler to us, and the one and only law is not let others, humans, know about us. You are a half-blood, little of vamps know bout species like you, and therefore they would be coming and seeing if you should be killed or not. I don’t know much, I’m not part of them, but some other half-blood was the first one they met, last time I heard, they are keeping an eye on her, not trusting the fact that she could keep the secret bout the whole thing. If I were you, I would be careful.”

He turned to her earlier question about him teacher her and instantly became snappy, again. “I’m not teaching you,” he muttered, leaning against the wall. “Give me one good reason.” He turned and looked at the sun, it was gone. Now it was safe for him to go outside. He stomped off, away from her, turning his head to look back of she was following. It was true, if she could convince him of a good reason to help her, he would, but he wasn’t planning to babysit, nor start a coven, so, so far, things were staying as it is. If she followed, then she was interested in him teaching, and he was no walk in the park to be with. If she stayed behind, then she’s looking out for herself. He kept walking, wondering what she was going to choose.

[Julieta Carmichael]

Julieta couldn't really believe that this dude would get all upset about him teaching her. She sighed as she was lead to being outside in an alley and then surround by darkness. She looked toward the setting sun and knew that was why he liked being outside. She missed the sun sometimes since she moved here she didn't see it all that much only on some occasions like these one. She listened to him talk about the Voultri. She looked up at him with an eyebrow raised and her hands on her hips before she said "Okay listen here whatever your name is. I have been taking care of myself ever since two weeks ago and I have been taking care of myself of not even letting anyone now about my true age or anything like that ever since I was born. OS don't go talking to me about keep watch okay since I have been good at it for a while now." She looked at him before he took a step out of his little darkness and into the setting sun. She heard him say that he wasn't teaching her and that if she did give him one good reason/ She sighed as she said "Fine don't teach me I can probably take care of my self for a while and maybe find me a coven if I can." With the last part she said very quietly since she wanted to learn some stuff. Julieta started to notice that he was walking away so she decided on heading back to Forks now since she didn't feel like following him right now.

[Bill Schwarz]

Billa snorted, as if this day couldn’t get anymore amusing. He listened to her reply and chuckled darkly and stopped in his tracked, turning around to face her and his contacts had dissolved, but since he could control the shadow to some degree, then he would be fine. “Then I won’t help you,” he said simply. “Good luck, but remember, you are going to be immortal soon, you better learn fast, 2 weeks living like you are, compared to the eternity of existing itself, I’d say that’s risky, and you can’t run forever, your father is a full vampire, and he lives forever too, not to mention the fact he is older than you.” His eyes were different, he drank a lot of blood, beyond the amount it takes him to get by, truly, he was a killer of the night, and he was experienced in fighting more than a regular vampire, so his eyes were bright, brighter than any normal vampire, it showed just how bad and dangerous he could be.

He turned and began walking again, he knew she can hear him, she was part vampire. “Good luck with the coven…you can always just create one…doubtful anyone would have the strength to be around you though…” he chuckled. He looked back and shook his head, that girl was suicidal. Whatever she wanted to do, she didn't want his help, nor his head in her buisness, and that was fine.
