Spontaneous Events
Henry burst into Mina's dark room, the darkness so thick he couldn't see a thing, and went to her bed.
"Mina, wake up! School!" She grumbled and stuffed her face into her pillow.
"Bug off!" She ordered and he laughed.
"Come on, leech. It's your fault you were being all nocturnal last night."
"No." She told the pillow and rolled on her back. "It's your masters." She sat up and shoved him out. In the darkness of her sanctuary she caked her skin with sunscreen in every available place and opened her curtains to the bright sunlight. Her fangs extended and she let out a loud hiss at the light and she whipped away to her closet.
She pulled out a plain black T-shirt that only had one thing on it. It had a heart sprawled out to look like it was blood, a broken heart. It was almost exactly like the Sweeney Todd heart, and she loved it and pulled it over her head. She found her favorite dark grey skinny jeans and slipped them on as she yawned. She unlocked the lock on the mini-refrigerator in her room and took out nearly five bags of blood and drank them down with hunger. She put the bags in the biohazard trashcan and dropped her bag on her bed as she passed it. She went to her desk and picked up her brush to untangle her long black and red hair as she stood in front of her full-body mirror near the counter with the mini-refrigerator.
She slowly and with perfection put on makeup and added her necklace and ring. Then she also added her new bracelet to her wrist. She thought for a split moment about the night before when her ring caused such a fuss. She shook it off and stared longingly at the mini-refrigerator. She tossed a glance over her shoulder at her door and opened it again to drink another two bags.
Feeling much more satisfied she turned and redid her red lipstick. As she turned around completely she came face to face with Henry.
"Mina..." Henry muttered in a concerned tone.
"Don't bring it up."
"Mina, if Vlad is struggling with keeping his thirst from hurting anyone..." She glared at him. "Well, Mina, you are a newborn vampire, a full vampire. If Vlad is having problems with being only half, I can't imagine what you're going through."
"I'm fine, Henry. Drop it."
"Mina, what if you hurt someone in Bathory? You promised Vlad you will never feed while in Bathory."
"I know, and I never broke that promise." She told him and walked downstairs, he trailed after her with his backpack. She snatched an apple and took a deep bite into it, letting her fangs punch two puncture wounds in the flesh. She then licked the juice as it dripped and clamped her fangs back into it as she sucked the juice dry out of the apple.
Henry watched her in concerned worry and she rolled her eyes as she threw the dry apple away. "Yeah because eating apples like that makes me believe you."
"Henry, I was born ten days before you. I have only spent ten blessed days without you in my entire life. You know me better than I probably know myself. Why don't you trust me?" She asked as they started to walk toward Vlad's home, near the school.
"It's not you I don't trust Mina. It's your hunger. Your instincts scare me. Vlad is pretty much the only thing that can occupy you enough to resist blood for days on end. But with him dating Meredith and you mad at him, he can't do that for you. You have to give into your thirst at some point."
"And impale who? Hmm? Meredith, Melissa maybe? I don't like the way she looks at you." She grumbled and let his expression die.
"That's not the point. I've heard Otis talk to you about it. I'm worried about you." Henry moved in front of her and put his hands on her arms to stop her from walking. "You are my only living girl cousin," she turned her head away from him. "If I were to let anything bad happen to you, I don't know what I'd do! It's my job to make sure that the Nosferatu, or in this case Nosferatus, I am drudge to be protected at any cost. You are also my cousin, my sister, and my friend. I promised myself to protect you, do I also have to protect you from yourself?"
