To Love Is Nothing

Anastasia - "I told him and Corrigan to stay in the dining room," I said.

Liz: "Why?" I wanted, no I needed Jake now, more than ever. But I shouldn't get close to him, should I? Not if I was going to hurt him. I sighed and stood up on wobbly legs. "Actually, nevermind. I'm going to bed, see you tomorrow Anastasia." I walked up the stairs.

Anastasia - "Wait, Liz, I have an idea," I grin.

Liz: I looked skeptically over my shoulder at her. "what is it?"

Anastasia - "Alex likes me, and he goes to town, if I can get him to take me to town I could find out how to get out of this place, and then we could all get out when he leaves the next time," I smile.

Liz: "Hm, very clever," I smiled. "But you'll have a hard time convincing Corrigan that you should be allowed to go somewhere along with a vampire. Anyway, G'night." I continued up the steps.

((Jake should go check on her, and Anastasia should go talk to Corrigan about her plan *hint hint* lol))

((OK))

Jake - I go up to Liz's room to make sure she's all right, "Liz?"

Anastasia - I sigh wondering how to tell Corrigan about my plan. I walk into the dining room where he was waiting, "We need to talk."

Corrigan: I raised my eyebrows. "Uh, okay?" And nodded at the seat beside me.

Liz: "Huh? Oh, hi Jake..." I said flatly from where I sat on my bed. Now I couldn't decide if I wanted to see him or not. So I had to go with a neutral tone, void of any feeling whatsoever. Bleh. "What do you need?"

Jake - "You to tell me why you ran off like that," I sigh, "I thought you liked me to."

Anastasia - "Corrigan..."I say not knowing how to start telling him about my plan, "I have an idea of how to get us out of here, all of us." I say.

Liz: "I do like you, Jake. I like you too much. If we fall in l- If we like each other we're going to end up doing just what Alex wants." I had cut off my first attempt at that sentence because I didn't want to scare off Jake with that word 'love'.

Corrigan: I looked at her skeptically. "Alright…continue."

Jake - "We can control if we do that or not," I argue.

Anastasia - "Alex likes me," I bit my lip, "and he goes to town most every night. If I go to town with him one time and come back with him I can see the way to get out, then the next night when he leaves we can get out while he's gone."

Liz:"I wish we didn't have to," I said quietly, with a sigh. Then I realized that sounded a little, er, dirty and blushed. "I mean, I wish we didn't have to watch what we do. Not, I wish we didn't have to not..." I blushed even deeper.

Corrigan: I froze. "You're suggesting that you'd go out alone with that vampire?" I asked, trying to keep the anger out of my voice. "I couldn't bare putting you in danger like that."

Jake - "You won't, I'll do everything! I swear! I mean, um, I'll make sure we don't um..." I blush as well.

Anastasia - "But, that's just it, technically I won't be alone! We'll be in town with normal humans around us," I say. "Plus, it's worth it to get us out."

Corrigan: My jaw tightened. Having Anastasia out of my sight would be torture. I nodded. "You're right, it's worth it. But...just promise you'll be careful?" Who was I kidding, you'd crossed the line of not being careful once you willingly went to town with a vampire.

((I'm coming up with Liz's reply still, ha xD))

Anastasia - "I will," I tell him honestly, "I swear."
(ha! alrighty!)

Corrigan: I locked eyes with her and nodded. "Alright, good because -" I cut off. "Anyway, goodnight. I need some sleep and so do you - big day tomorrow."

Liz: I laughed. "This is confusing," I sighed. "But it wouldn't be if we weren't here. Then again, if we weren't here we wouldn't have met." I smiled at Jake.

Anastasia - I nod and go up the stairs to my room without another word.

Jake - "That would have sucked," I pout, "if you never met I mean."

Corrigan: I rubbed a hand across my face with a sigh, tomorrow would be a stressfuly day for both of us. After I was sure Anastasia had already made it to her room, I went up the stairs myself.

Liz: I smiled but sighed. "Quit being so good to me, it's not helping us at all." I flopped back on my bed, exasperated.

((bump?))

Jack - "I won't just ignore you," I say, "and I will never be mean."

Anastasia - I sigh laying on my bed. How was I going to get Alex to let me go with him.

Liz: "Even if I begged you to?"

Corrigan: I frowned and sat on my bed. What if Anastasia didn't come back after tomorrow?

Jake - I sigh, "I could try, but I don't have that much will power."

Anastasia - I paced the room. Thoughts ran wildly inside my head, but the one thought that consumed me was about Corrigan. At times he acted like he liked me, then at other times he acted like an older brother. He confused me.

Liz: "Sit with me..." I sat up on my bed.

Corrigan: Gah...really, what if she didn't come back? Before I couldn't second guess myself, I stood up, walked to her room, and knocked on the door. "It's Corrigan."

Jake - I sat next to her, "So, are you going to ask me to ignore you?" I wonder hoping the answer is no.

Anastasia - I look at the door. "Come in," I say.

Liz: "I'm thinking about it," I bit my lip then remembered what Anastasia had said earlier. "Anastasia has an idea to get us all out of here. So maybe ignoring won't be necessary?"

Corrigan: I stepped inside her room. "I..." I hadn't though this through before I came here. What was I going to say?
