A Clearing in the Preserve, Tuesday After Dark

Sep 10, 2013 20:08

This was a stupid idea. Any idea that had Nikolai standing out in the woods in the dark with two ladies, one of whom he didn't even know, and planning to pull off his shades really had to be a stupid idea. There was a reason he wore the damn things, after all. And a reason he hadn't gone back to Hollywood yet, for that matter. You get one blood transfusion from a crazy woman in a foreign country, and before you know it all you can do is come to terms with the fact that you'll never live a normal life again.

... But Nikolai really actually missed his normal life. He loved his job back home, he wasn't terribly keen on continuing to pay rent for his apartment on the other side of the country while being stuck here, and, as much as he appreciated how good he looked in mirrored shades, he kind of missed looking at the world without a gray tint over everything.

He leaned back against a tree, swatting at a mosquito as it buzzed by his ear.

"God, I'm being eaten alive out here," he sighed. "Let's get this over with so that we can get away from the bugs, huh?"
