||| ... Lily ... ||

Lily squirmed when she was put down, a small sigh escaping her lips. She groaned softly, her hand fluttering absently at her neck and moving sowly outward to find somehing... or someone. Her expression turned troubled, and as her hadn touched a pillow she pulled it towards her, pulling it to her chest and hugging it to her tightly. She seemed to be sleeping peacefull again, but as her dreams came and went, so did the eaceful look on her face. Tears leaked from her eyes at one point, and at others she almost smiled. There were too many conflicting emotions in her life a tthe moment, her sleep was troubled with dreams. It usually wasn;t, but when she was stressed she was plagued with dreams and nightmares s vivid she usually wouldn't have been able to sleep, but she hwas so tired from blood loss she couldn't seem to pull herself awake again.

{ugh, so short >.< I didn't know what to post... Should we skip to morning, or just play Xavier and Bridgett until morning? }

... Xavier ...

Xavier was very patient and went very slow, fighting back the painful urge to lean forward right then and sink his fangs into her neck. No, he had sad he wasn't going to bite her tonight and he meant it. He was not really paying attention to anything bu thelping her keep upright and steering her clear of any walls. He wasn't going to let her run into anything- he wasn't that mean. He moved faster than humanly possible when she lurcheed forward, he yelp reaching his ears just as he caught her in his arms, liftng her feet off the ground. He held her securely, but again, his movements and hands were very gentle and caring. He set her down slowly, keeping a hand on her shoulder though. "Are you okay?" he ased, a concerned note to his tone.

When she felt his arm come around her she leaned against them in hopes to regain her footing. Realizing she wasn't touched the ground, Bridge simply clung to his forearms. Her eyes strained to see what was going on, forgetting about the blindfold. Before she could panic however, she remembered and roe her hand up. Slipping the blindfold up enough to gaze over her shoulder at him with her soft green eyes. Blinking slowly, Bridge nodded just as slowly before lettin the bandana fall back against the bridge of her nose. "I got distracted- sorry," Breathing the words out in a sigh to herself, she let go of his arm once she was on her feet again. A gentle blush heated her cheeks as she stared at the blackness from the blindfold.

{ Sure, I'm cool with just role-playing these two if you want. xD Not really sure what to put for Isaac either so I just left him out. ^^" }

... Xavier ...

Xavier slid the bandana back securely in place. "Bandana on," he said pointedly, and instead of just placing his hand on her shoulder to guide her, he stood right next to her and reached out, his hand over on her opposite shouder and his arm stretched across her upper back. "This should be easier, don't freak," he said softly in her ear. He again began forward slowly, feeling like she was much more secure, not thinking about how she might have been frightened by the close contact. "There's stairs here, I'm going to carry you," he said softly when they reached th eonly flight of stairs. Without thought Xavier scooped the blonde girl into his arms, carrying her easily and gently downstairs. HE set her down carefully at the bottom of the stiars and took her hand in his, leading her forward. He reached forward and pulled the door open. A breeze carried into the castle, carrying with it the fresh scent of flowers. He released her hand and pulled the bandanna off, gesturing her forward. "Go on, go explore the grounds."

. : | : . Bridgett . : | : .

Standing very still when she felt him move to stand beside her, Bridge bit her lip but didn't say anything as he reached across her upper back to place a hand on that shoulder. True, she did feel like things were safer this way. That still didn't mean that she had to like being so close to someone. With each step she inhaled more of his now-familiar scent and relaxed abit. She started to say something when h said he was going to carry her, though as soon as she began to get words out he had her in his arms. Falling quiet once again she slid one arm loosely across his collar bone to rest against his shoulder, so she felt a bit more stable. She clung lightly to him as he took each step he took down the flight of stairs. Not liking her feet not touching the ground, eventially she turned her head and as lightly as she could pressed her forehead to his upper arm. Even though her eyes were already hiden by the blindfold it helped her to keep calm.
Not really thinking she had a choice in the matter when he took her hand, Bridge let herself be led forward. At the sound of a door creaking open, she raised her free hand and tipped the bandana up a bit to sneak a peak at what was going on. As soon as he started to look back to her she let her hand drop and in turn the blindfold slipping back into place. A hot blush made her face flush as she stared at the blackness of the blindfold. She was anxious thought to get out of the Castle, to feel the grass brush against her legs and ankles, to walk among the flowers.. When he removed the cloth from around her head, she hesitated a bit, unsure if she should walk out immiedately or not... Her eyes blinked before glancing at him, then the open doorway.

Xavier pocketed the banadanna, shoving it in his back pocket. "Go on," he said with a gesture forward. "I'll... Go where you can't see me. Leave you... Alone for a bit." He shrugged, and slipped out the door and out of sight. He actually managed to scale the wall- it was so rocky and viny it wasn't hard- and was perched on a ledge behind a great amount of bushes. He could see the whole courtyard from up here, and he knew she knew that he would be watching, and hoped she wouldnt try and run away. If she did, he would most likely get angry, and he wasn't sure he could hold of on feeding if he got angry.
The courtyard was filled with beautiful flowers, and many bloomed only at night when the moons light touched their petals, and the cool night air coaxed open the pretty, dainty things. The boy sighed to himself, leaning his head back against the wall. It made him feel like he was spying, but be couldn't leave her alone, and she was still scared of him- so she probably did not want the vampire near her, in sight.

. : | : . Bridgett . : | : .

Bridgett watched him pocket the bandana and walk off. Just like that. She sighed quietly and turned her attention back to the yard. Not too sure where to go first, she just started to walk along the perimitar{Sp?} of the castle. Letting her thoughts wander as she walked, she found herself thinking of family for the first time in a while. Usually by now something would have happened to make her have anxiety attack. It was miraculous that she hadn't had a problem with being away from her family for more then a day.. Without even realizing it, she had walked into a small garden of flowers. Vines and leaves from some grew over her head in an arc to connect on either side of her. She let her eyes wander of the exotic and vibrent colors of the plants. Bright, bold blues, puples, reds, and whites all greeted her as she walked by them. Running her hands over a few stalky plants, Bridge sighed with content. It almost felt like home..

|| ... Xavier ... ||

Watching her wander among the plants and seem so at peace, Xavier felt like he was intruding. He sighed, but kept watch anyway, hoping one day she could come out here and he wouldn't have to keep watch... But, he didn't think that could ever happen. There had been one girl- one woman who had been allowed that. He had captured her much like he had captured Bridgett, but it was a time where girls were married off young and expected to have many, many children. She was only about eight when she came, an he had welcomed being taken away- even at such a young age she had understood what was to happen between her and the man she was prepared to marry.
A deep, hollow and aching sensation opened behind his collarbone, making him feel miserable. It had been forever since he had thought of this girl, and he realized why- Bridgett reminded him of her.
The vampire boy had only used this girl for blood for a very short time- he was much younger, and she had been so... Frail seeming. He instead raised her, and found himself falling deeply in love with her as she grew older. He had built this very garden for her, filled with so many beautiful plants. He had allowed her- when she was a bit older- to go to the garden alone. She left him, fled.
He never did find out if she returned his feelings, but he assumed not, as she fled the moment she could. The days and weeks after that were dark times for the vampire boy, but he tried not to think of it.
