It wasn't every day that one handled blood that was this dangerous. Sure, Abby knew how to take universal precautions for disease or anything hinky that might come from direct contact with another person's blood, but this was a step up from all that. At least ( Read more... )

( A day in the life of Cassie Hack, college student )

It’s a quiet afternoon in Levi’s mansion; the others are out hunting, so he and Shane had decided to take advantage of the silence, lazing around on the couch contentedly. They’re mostly on-and-off sleeping, Levi laying flat out on his stomach and Shane lying pretty much on top of him, curled up ( Read more... )

Well, that had gone well. Cassie exited the nest, not crying as much or as often anymore, but definitely down in the dumps. Not only was Billy gone, but she didn't think and said a bunch of shit that made the hundreds upon hundreds year old vampires get emo. So, totally, not her intention. Not even a little bit ( Read more... )

Well, this was pathetic.

God, she couldn't even stand. All Cordelia could do was sit there, with her back against the wall in some alley, clutching her broken shoulder and trying so hard not to cry. And the irony that this started with her trying to help a guy she thought she knew, who was doing his own version of brooding in an alley? Not lost on ( Read more... )

Okay. It'd been way too fucking long since Cassie got to see her idkmybffBilly and after the crazy shit she'd gone through in the past couple weeks, she was intent on changing that. She wasn't at 100% after her 'run in' with John, but she was better. Cassie dressed 'warmly' and made her way to the nearest tram station. Cassie had a good feeling ( Read more... )

There were two reason Godric was calling Cassie. The first was just to check in on her and make sure she was recovering, and the second was to address the issue Eric had brought up the night before. He was somewhat worried he was going to wake Cassie. She needed her rest, and he wouldn't have been surprised if she had gone to bed just after he ( Read more... )

It'd been about four days or so since the attack and Cassie had been holes up in her place with bad movies, various juices, and multivitamins, at Godric's suggestion. Cassie finally got to a point where she was going stir crazy and needed to get out of the damn house. She dressed very low-key, wearing black jeans, hoodie, and a blue t-shirt. ( Read more... )

Bill felt an odd thrill of excitement, something that was at once both new and distantly familiar to him, as he started on his way to Sookie’s house. It had been well over 100 years since he’d last proposed to a woman, and despite his age and experience, it appeared he was not immune to nervousness. It would wash away, surely, the moment he set ( Read more... )

Jessica had spent a lot of the time since Halloween thinking about what Godric and Eric had said to her. About her life being her own, and being able to make her own choices. She even had a think about what they'd said about her urges and giving into them. About making it a balance between resisting and controlling, and knowing when she shouldn' ( Read more... )
