It's been almost a year since the Diamond Armada appeared before the Authority, and William Ryan was forced to do the last thing he'd ever want to do: take the life of the one person he loved more than anything. It leaves you wondering, though, why...
We all sat at the table and chatted for a bit before going out to hunt. Will had some recording to do and decided to wait until later to hunt. Normally I'd wait for him and we'd go together. Tonight, however, I was hungry as hell and didn't feel much like waiting. "Just be careful." He said, kissing my forehead. I nodded at him and smiled.
I didn't stay with the group for very long. While I had never really hunted alone, I felt like being by myself for a bit. I followed a small path that led to an old abandoned cabin. I admired how the crescent shaped moon lit up the forest, the moonlight reflecting off the leaves. It felt good to have time to myself. However, the closer I got to the cabin, the more I felt like I wasn't alone. When I reached it, I climbed one of the nearby trees, waiting for someone to show up. People, mainly teenagers and college students would come here to spray paint, do drugs, and whatever else goes on in there.
"You know, you really shouldn't hunt alone...being such a young vampire." A voice startled me, causing me to jump and almost fall off of the branch I was sitting on. I looked down, and sure enough, it was Eric. I sighed and jumped down. "Can I help you?" I sassed. "Oh, come on, you don't have to be like that." He said. "After how you acted toward me earlier I have every right to throw you some fucking shade." I snapped. "Actually, you don't. Need I remind you I'm the Magister (head of the authority) and I'm a few thousand years older than you? Besides, you just had to be all over your little boyfriend right in front of me."
"Uh, yeah, because I'm his and that's not going to fucking change." I said. "Oh, is that so? Then why did he leave you out here by yourself?" Eric asked. "He didn't. I left on my own. And I was enjoying being alone until you came along, fucked up my night and made me lose my appetite." At this point, I was extremely annoyed and hoped I insulted him enough to make him leave.
We were interrupted by the sound of people coming toward the cabin. I sped off behind a bush and watched. A few moments later, Eric was crouched behind me, also being way too close for comfort. He chuckled. "Watch how a real vampire does it." He quickly sped to the two people walking and had their heads off in less than a second. I stood up and crossed my arms. He threw one of the decapitated bodies to the ground in front of me. "You're welcome." He said.
"Do you honestly think I'm gonna eat that?" I asked. "You really are stubborn, aren't you?" He asked. "Maybe, but I'm not stupid. And I'm certainly not going to let you think you're anything more to me than an overly confident dick." I quickly sped off back to the house before Eric had a chance to say anything back. I stopped at the porch, hoping he didn't follow me back.
I went inside, slamming the door behind me. Will was sitting at the table editing. "Are you alright?" He asked, looking extremely concerned. Instead of answering his question I quickly went into the kitchen and got a bottle of synthetic blood. As much as I hated drinking it, I certainly wasn't going back out there. I certainly wasn't going to give Eric the satisfaction of seeing me willingly take what he "gave" to me.
Suddenly Will walked up and hugged me from behind. "What happened, sweetheart?" He asked. His soft voice calmed me down and I practically melted into his embrace. "Eric happened..." I said faintly. I felt Will's hug get a bit tighter, and I knew that was the last thing he wanted to hear. "What did he do this time?" He asked. I turned to face him, wrapping my arms around him. I started talking about what had happened. I explained how I just felt like being alone for awhile and how Eric had made several attempts to get me like him in any sort of way.
"Who the hell made him head of the Authority anyway? His ego is fucking huge.." I said. "I could name something bigger..." Will winked and smirked. I rolled my eyes and chuckled a bit. Honestly, the subtle dick jokes never got old, as immature as they were. "In all seriousness.." He started, "Eric's maker was supposed to be the next Magister, but he was killed right before the old one stepped down. So they gave it to Eric."
"Doesn't that seem a bit suspicious...that he was killed right before he would've taken over and now Eric is the Magister?" I asked. "I know it sounds like that, but it's not. When Godric (Eric's maker) was killed, I had never seen Eric so upset. He set out a personal mission to find the person who did. He eventually did and got his revenge." Will said. That all made sense. I still didn't like it. "And trust me, if Godric was the Magister now, things would be a lot different. He never cared for the worthless killing that Eric has always done.
"And what pisses me off is that Eric thinks he can get whatever he wants. His job is to make sure we're not breaking the law, not to invade our space and hit on my girlfriend..." Will said. I could tell he was extremely pissed about what happened, but we both knew he didn't have the authority to do anything about it. "Unfortunately....we just have to dismiss it..but I am NOT happy about it.." He grumped, walking into his office.
Will sat on his therapy chair and started hugging his small crash bandicoot plushie. I giggled and sat next to him, gently taking the plushie from him and hugging it myself. "Nononononono... Dis is mine.." He said, gently taking it back and causing me to giggle again. "And you know what else is mine?" He asked. I turned my head to the side. "YOU!" He said, throwing the plushie and wrapping his arms around me tightly. "I love you too, Will." I smiled.
We stayed in a tight embrace for quite awhile, until I realized the sun would be up soon and Will hadn't eaten yet tonight. "You should go hunt before the sun comes up." I said. "B-but...I'm so comfy.." He whined. "But you need to eat." I chuckled. Knowing I was right, he got up and got ready to leave. "I should wait for the crew to get back so you're not alone." He said. "Now you're making excuses. I'll be fine. Besides I'm sure they'll be back soon." I replied.
After some convincing, Will left. I plopped down on the couch in the living room, and it wasn't long until I decided I was bored as hell. I hadn't played any video games in awhile, so I figured I'd play Mario Kart 8, or maybe Overwatch. Once the crew got home, Chloe and Chris joined me for an intense Mario Kart 8 race.
Will got home about an hour later. "What is this? You all have started a Mario Kart competition without me?!" He acted all butt hurt. We all laughed and he joined us for the last hour of nighttime we had. It was one of the most intense 'friendly' competitions we ever had. I had won most of the rounds, and Will was determined to beat me in the last round. As a matter of fact, he did. "YEEESSSSS!" Will shouted. "Are you proud of yourself?" I giggled. He smiled. "Yes."
