Blood mansion (lets bring this back!)

Raith: I started driving.

Spike: i took her down to the kitchens

Claire: I ended up falling asleep again, I woke up and checked the window. It wasn't that bright out i shivered, my fangs sprouted and I sighed.

Aishe: We walk to the house and I open the door, refusing to meet his eyes.

Dan
I spot her avoidance. "What is it? Thirsty?" I ask.

Aishe: I give him a look. "No."

Dan
"Making sure," i defend with a chuckle. "What then?"

Aishe: I shrug, pulling away. "It's nothing."

Dan
I frown and sigh. I wish she'd tell me these things. It can't be good for her to bottle all of these things up. "Alright," i say anyway, slightly bothered.

Aishe: I glance out the nearest window. "Daybreak?"

Dan
I guide her quickly to her room, checking to make sure the drapes were drawn before letting her in.

Aishe: "I could've done that," I whisper.

Dan
I smile. "Just wanted to make sure." I cradle her cheek in my hand. "Not thirsty at all? You've gone the whole day without any."

Aishe: I close my eyes, taking a deep breath. "I've gone longer."

Dan
I tilt my head and chuckle. "And yet you doubt your control?"

Aishe: I grimace. "Yes. Because I don't overestimate myself. I've done it before."

Dan
"But you're still fine when you drink," i say softly. "You stop when it's been enough."

Aishe: I shake my head. "No, I stop when you say something."

Dan
"Maybe..." I say. "But you made the twenty second rule. That's enough for you, that's enough for me."

Aishe: I push him away gently. "I know. But I'm not thirsty," I lie.

Dan
I sigh and sit in a chair. "You're horrible at lying."

Aishe: I shrug. "I'm getting better." But I'm only trying to convince myself.

Dan
"You are. I wish you'd believe it." I give a small smile. "Think back, Aishe. You've got to be better from where you started out from, right?"

Aishe: I give him a smile. "I only live in the present. For most things."

Dan
I smile back. "But i'm right, yeah? You're one hundred percent better from being a new vampire." I stand again, approach her hesitantly. "That has to count for something, right?"

Aishe: I look away. "I've had time to control it. Yes, from a new vampire, I'm much better."

Dan
I run a hand through her hair. "And you'll only keep getting better." I offer my wrist meeting her eyes. "Please, Aishe. I'm afraid i can't stop worrying about you."
