What You'll Find Here
Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale
Anacosta Heights
Situated above the daily life of the city, Anacosta Heights is a tucked away suburb featuring extravagant neo-gothic inspired mansions. The inhabitants of this neighborhood often show their overwhelming wealth with sports cars lining their long, circular driveways, large pools, and manicured gardens. The homeowners of Anacosta Heights treasure their privacy as seen by the high iron gates to the security personnel present at every entrance.
Dupont Circle
Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.
Hawethorn Village
Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.
River Dale
River Dale primarily consists of apartments that, despite their age and industrial appearing interior, still hold to the Victorian history that permeates the town. These apartments are often the cheapest option and sport scuffed, older wooden floors, open floor plans, visible beams, and the occasional brick wall.
Just another Night to Kill

Seeing her like this only makes me upset that I didn't know sooner about Aiden. Maybe if I had been here sooner...I don't know. It probably wouldn't have changed anything but I don't like knowing how long she's been like this. How long since she's eaten? How long since she's slept? I'm a little disappointed in Dorian in this moment too. Who lets their queen, no, who lets their friend live like this? I get it that she probably told him to leave and I know he probably had his reasons and forcing his company on her wouldn't have helped but I just....I just wish I had known sooner. Her kiss definitely took me by surprise. Every girl is different of course and I've been around my share of heartbreaks, but this would be a first for being around a girl that just lost her boyfriend to death. No, I take that back. I have had two or three whose boyfriend I had to kill because they were a murderous vampire or rogue Were but I can't say I did anything with them after. They were too busy grieving or mostly just pissed at me. There was no romance involved there. Maybe that's why this is a first that a girl loses her boyfriend and then wants to kiss me. Of course it's the first grieving girl where I didn't cause the boyfriend's death. That could be part of the missing pieces. Not to mention I am super handsome, but let's be serious here. She's hurt and she wants to escape the pain. Who wouldn't? I'm offering comfort so it's a perfectly logical course of action, or at least that's the way I justify it in my mind. She's not doing anything wrong. It's just the wrong time and I'm the wrong guy. The moment I stroke her cheek and pull away gently, her cheeks are set to flaming and she looks away, obviously embarrassed. I hate making her feel anything negative right now with everything else she's got weighing down on her right now. If I were any other man, I would have instantly pulled her in for the kiss she's been yearning for just to make her feel better, just to offer that escape I know she's desperately searching for. Unfortunately, I just don't have it in me. She looks back up at me suddenly, her voice whisper soft. My smile softens at her words and I search her gaze, knowing already that it's not true. Her eyes truly are the windows to her soul and right now, they're cracking. I let my hand wander up, tucking a strand of loose hair behind her ear before gently touching my finger to her nose as she calls me amazing. "I know I am but what are you? I'll tell you. You're the amazing one, Sam. You're stronger than you realize. You have a heart of gold and a soul as white as your transparent skin. I mean seriously, you do know a sun exists, right?" My lip quirks, trying to lighten the mood a little bit. She closes her eyes and leans against me for a moment. Her arm tightens protectively around her once more, my hand rubbing up and down her back slowly, trying to comfort her and maybe even give a decent back massage at the same time. When she leans up, her lips find my cheek this time and I smile, easily wrapping my arms around her to return the hug. As she pulls back, she looks up at me. I tilt my head, taking in her expression one more time before I nod. "Anything for you." I have to resist the urge to say "my queen" or "your majesty" or anything like that. Usually I'll never turn down a chance to show respect to heirarchy but in this case, I don't want her to get the wrong idea. I don't want her to think I'm deciding to stay because I feel like I have to or because she's now my queen. I don't want her to feel like it's an obligation to me. I want her to know that I'm choosing to stay here because I care about her, because she means a lot to me. |
