Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale
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 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.
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 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.
It's only been a few weeks and I have yet to return to my Great Uncle's apartment. Before Frost took me away I left him a note, letting him know that I was with him and that he would be helping me learn how to function my new...form. Being a horse was not the easiest thing in the world. It was rather difficult and now I understand why it would be much easier for someone so young to adapt to this change. As a young adult it wasn't easy to adapt, but I was trying. I've gotten a bit better with coming to terms that I was part horse. Though I am sure it will take time until I can act like a proper horse. Frost warned me about my instincts and that it would take time to understand them and know how I should react to them. I've been quietly watching Frost, to see how he acts and figure out if I should react the same way or not. Yet I find him maddening and frustrating. He acts indifferent a lot and hardly allows himself to express any emotion. Although I know he has the ability to manipulate body heat II do not think that is why he calls himself 'Frost.' I honestly think it is because he portrays himself as an aloof and apathetic individual...and I have no idea why he would want to do such a thing in the first place.
I had been sleeping within the new bedroom that was provided for me. Clarie was a few doors down and Frost's happened to be right across from mine. I'd say that I am a bit of a light sleeper. As I lie here awake within my cozy bed I turn my head and look out through the window to get a glimpse of the thunderstorm outside. I like storms and usually I find that rain helps make it easier to help me fall asleep, but for some reason tonight I can't. Perhaps if I go downstairs and get a glass of water it might help me out. Sacrificing myself and leaving the warmth of the covers from my bed, I slip out and quietly walk over to the door, grabbing the light hoodie that was hanging on the door knob. I don't want to wake up anyone so I tip-toe down the hall and make my way down the stairs, but I pause when I hear Frost talking aloud and never voice responding. Confused I stand within the darkness along the staircase wondering who it was Frost was talking to, but my ears catch on to snippets of the conversation.
I don't want to eavesdrop and I do not want to betray Frost, since he has done a kindness to me by teaching me how to be a Were and a place to stay, so I continue down the stairs hoping to be ignored. Though as I make my way across the hallway towards the kitchen I freeze the moment I hear the visitor speak. Turning my head to see within the lounge area my eyes first go to Frost in apologizing manner before looking at the blonde-haired visitor. Hearing Frost invite me in I do as told and enter the room. The visitor's comment causes my pale cheeks to change into a pinkish and red hue, embarrassed by his comment, and I throw him a kind smile. It is when Frost orders him to sit and agrees with his comment that causes my smile to disappear as I turn to look at him. I'm not sure why he had to speak so harshly to this Riot, and I make up for Frost's rudeness by approaching the boy and placing my hand in front of him to shake, speaking gently to him.
"Pleasure to meet you Riot and thank you for your comment."
Again, I do not know much about my instincts. I should, but I don't. I do not notice how the two boys look at one another as I move myself to the opposite side of the couch where Riot was told to sit. I cross my arms, attempting to make myself comfortable and bring warmth to myself, seeing that the fire was low. Looking over to Frost I tilt my head to the side as I ramble off a string of questions, my way of showing that yes I heard a little bit about what was going on, but also just who Riot was...and why he was here. Perhaps Riot was my excuse to learn more about Frost.
"Is he part of the pack too? He sat when you told him and I've never heard of you speak about him? In fact...I never heard you speak about your Mother, or Leif, and what is this I hear about bloodlines and you being blacklisted, what did you do?"
