East

The east side of the city is the very heart of Sacrosanct - it's unique skyline is a clash between modern sky rises and small Victorian-inspired storefronts. In the heart of downtown, the sleek colored glass buildings reign supreme though their old-world roots can be seen in the most peculiar places from the lamp post styled electric street light to the stone sidewalks. The old world architecture slowly returns the further from downtown you travel, however. It's here that magic thrives, it hums in every stone and can be felt in every breath. Often, newcomers to the city may become overwhelmed by such sensations but, eventually, it becomes an ever-present feeling that's hardly noticed.

Something wicked this way comes

In this house I could feel a sense of freedom and safety. Sure, it would take time for me to become accustomed to it. The majority of my life I had taken care of myself and was fiercely independent because of it so being offered things for free kind of stuck in my craw. I couldn't turn it down though and besides, I would be lying to say that I wasn't relieved to have someone who seemed to genuinely worry about my well being, not to mention my cats. No doubt Darwin would be scarred from having been forced to bath but he seemed to have forgotten the whole ordeal swift enough with food and a sense of security. If he could adjust so quickly then so could I. My inquisitive Nature is met with easy words from Erik. Thank goodness I hadn't gotten a prickly vampire who hoarded secrets. That seemed the thing in movies and well, I was a bit consumed with all the unimportant facts of day to day supernatural pop culture. I had even read Twilight in my younger years but I would never tell a soul that unless I wanted to lose any sort of respect. I can tell he wants to question me but probably feels it is impolite in my current state, much improved as it is, and I'm already bouncing the idea around in my head of what he should know. I didn't think they could sway him one way or another but... that steady course of bad luck makes me worry nonetheless.

Other than his curiosity I can't quite tell what he is thinking. A thousand years to school ones outward signs, I think, and smirk in his direction. Well, I'm a bit easier to read. Heart on my sleeve type. It had taken some sheer acting to escape when I did lest my captors suspect my plans. Brilliantly done, I think, but lacking in any sort of direction. At least they would be weak without me for a bit. There was a link there magically that they could draw from but it would take some time before they could use a locator spell to find me. Enough for me to rest, eat, then get my own plans together.

I'm a bit distracted by Erik's smug male look in my direction and feel my cheeks heating before turning my attention to my food. He was very attractive and I would have to be dead to not notice it. Probably most girls dream - be rescued by a hot vampire and taken care of. I snort and try to hide a chuckle behind my food as he sits down easily, grabbing a book. I study him a bit as he reads. An intelligent man too. Did this guy have any flaws? "What? Oh, no, you can throw them away," I say to Adele. Not like they could help me any. Just pieces of cloth that were fit for the use of rags maybe. "Adele, your food is amazing. Did you attend a school for cooking?" I was curious but also trying to flatter her because her food did taste exceptional. Not sure if it was my lack of eating such fine food for a while or if she really was just that great.

Then I glance back at Erik to pepper him with questions. I hum in thoughtfulness at his answer though when he mischievously makes a smart remark I grin at him, just as playful. "No, I don't doubt that," I said with a dry undertone and an exaggerated roll of my eyes. "Immortality, looks, AND brains. It's a wonder you don't have yourself a mate yet. Wait, is that what vampires call their significant others?" I tilt my head now. My belly was feeling awfully tight from the food so I slowed down considerably, taking small bites less frequently as I studied him. I knew a bit about Weres to know their terms. "You know, it really is unfair. A man who can READ? Blasphemy." I make a vague motion with my hand but my eyes twinkle as I lean back in the chair feeling incredibly relaxed from the food.
