More Sam and Colby moments coming! :)

COLBY

Colby sat back into the couch cushion after returning from the wolves territory. Johnnie is standing close by, leaning against the doorframe leading into the  front room.
  "..so what's the plan? Cause there's no way in hell you're just gonna let them pressure you like that." Johnnie thumbs the direction over his shoulder, aware the other vampire can't see him. His quiet friend observes Johnny, whom unconsciously chips at his nail polish while waiting. Colby lets the question sink in before breaking the weird tension with a deep exhale.

"No, yea, you're right. I have someone I want to protect Johnny, and whats different is I have no self-preservation when it comes to Sam," Colby breaks off when he speaks the blonde's name comes up in the conversation, aware of how tense he feels waiting for his friends' reaction. Can he choose his not-so-sturdy resolve over a human he wants to drop everything for? He sees flashes of images whenever Sam pops up in his life. His light blue eyes just a shade lighter than his own, and his dusty-blonde hair accentuating his doe-like eyes during their second conversation in the hotel room.
     "I want to get to know him, and before I knew it, I let him take ahold, of like, my heart. I invited him here. His being here changes everything." Johnnie hums as he climbs over the couch and sinks into the pile of pillows as he listens intently. Johnnie's eyes are comically wide as he absorbs a new tidbit about his friend he normally isn't privy too. Colby can't help the goofy smile, slowly though it dwindles when he realizes Jonnie's fascination isn't letting up.

"Is there anything special that makes this place, different.. from yknow, other haunted places you've visited? Before you were a vampire." Johnny pulls his legs up after depositing his shoes onto the carpet. Colby watches him with interest as he listens in rapt attention, especially to Johnnie's shoes. Why the sudden change up? Colby answers him without second-guessing his longtime friend.
Johnnie seems to catch the confusion on Colby's face, "I mean, is this place like dangerous for humans, I've always noticed there are only a few homes on the outskirts when I arrive. Never got to really ask you.."

Colby shakes his head, "Not really? The worst that could happen is human possession. We have, like Limestone in certain places, like the railroad. Limestone is like a weed sometimes. It is a good source of energy, but you can summon just about anything in any spot given the right, like, instruments—"
Colby is curious where his friend is going to do with this information and continues, Weren't they just talking about Sam? Professing his unhealthy? Strange undying love?
"There are witches here and a few rogue vampires like myself, and the woods.. can be strange. The weather is always changing and it can change within seconds.. similar to a living creature."
  Colby snaps his fingers as demonstration as if the information just clicked and the excitement singing in his blood causes a sudden surge to delve deeper into the madness that is his home.

  "Lucy resides here now. There are cabins that date back to the 1700s but She's unclear about who's lived there. A couple years back it was used as a camp grounds, and now they're abandoned." Colby joins Johnny with tucking his legs onto the couch. He leans his head all the way back until the couch begins to act as a headrest.

"...have Lucy spy on them then?" Colby breaks into a cold-sweat, is he for real? He can feel his skin begin to boil with the sudden rise in temperament just ready to explode. First he asks about limestone, the ghost Lucy and now he has no outlet to vent his own worries? Jerk.

It's Johnnie who breaks up the silence mixed between them. It's not an awkward thing they both deal with, keeping up a conversation but Colby is giving himself every reason to tune his betraying friend. It doesn't work for them as they sit in the dark space with the curtains drawn closed. The candles are the only sources of light sitting on the front room table. Colby is the first time give in despite being the first to be stubborn, and Johnnie is oblivious to his friends' silent agreement.
