Darla and Lindsey took me out of town this weekend to hunt. They said all I needed to do was pick a place and we'd go.
I ended up choosing San Francisco, the place I grew up. It was quite strange at first, the place seemed smaller, less intimidating somehow. I took them to the foster home where I grew up, where everything happened. I think they were watching me, waiting for some flicker of emotion but there was nothing.
I never regretted what I did when I was human, why should I start now?
Hunting with them is like nothing I've ever experienced. They're so comfortable with each other, they make death seem like an art. It makes me wonder if Evan and I look like that when we're together.
On Saturday night we hit a couple of the clubs I used to frequent right before I left. It was almost like picking them off, couples are so eager to try something new. Darla and I took the guy, Lindsey got the girl. There's a real good chance he was high though 'cause when we were done I felt weird, like... Well, like I wasn't myself any more.
After that I was quite content to watch, especially when we found the young group of guys heading along one of the back streets. It didn't take me long to come around though... Especially not when Darla and Lindsey were feeding together and their prey was making so much damned noise.
Although, I kinda like when they scream.
I called Michelle on Sunday. It's like a ritual thing, one I thought would have died with me but... It being Mother's Day and all, I made the push. She sounded odd on the phone, like every moment I talked to her was another bad one... Or like she wanted me to get off the phone?
It was weird.
And then earlier tonight when I was sitting with Evan. He was telling me about his weekend and giving me a beautiful heart-shaped locked and I just... I got this feeling that things aren't okay. It was like being back in that foster home all over again and I haven't thought about that in years.
I don't believe in premonitions or visions or whatever-- I leave that stuff up to Dru. But this... Damn, this freaked me out. And now Evan's looking at me and wondering what the hell is going on.
