Creatures of the Dark

He slid his hand into hers kissig her nuckles.

(( Sorry vamp, just realised I forgot to reply to you))


Alessia took in a shaky breath, too prideful to lean against him despite the temptation as she walked into the house.

The blush on her cheeks was undeniable now.

---
Sophia frowned a little bit. "Propose, huh?"

"Mm. I was so sure that she was the one. Everything was planned, in my head, every detail."

He watched her and he followed her. “Want some painkillers?” He asked. “Stefan told me he keeps some strong ones in the house.”

((No worries))

He smiled softly

"I'm sorry.. that sucks. You don't have to tell me what happened."

---
Rylee smiled as she led them from the bedroom and out into the hall.

"No. No thank you, I don't need them."

---
"It isn't anything fascinating, not dramatic." Elliot whispered, leaning forward to grab a piece of popcorn. Rolling it in the palm of hid hand as he watched the movie.

She watched him for a moment. "If you need to talk about it, I'm here." she told him softly, her voice showing honest understanding for once.

"I'd rather not," Elliot whispered. "I mean, I have nothing to say."

She nodded, slumping down more into the pillow behind her to get comfortable.

“You know there’s no shame in saying that you’re in pain, from what happened it’s normal.”

Max followed her

Elliot threw the popcorn in his mouth before leaning back beside her.

---
"I'm fine." She lied quietly. "You're fine, so I'm fine."

Damian looked to her with a raised eyebrow.

Alessia slowly sunk down onto the sofa, letting out a steading breath as she closed her eyes.

Sophia reached for some popcorn, her eyes fully on the movie.

----
Rylee headed downstairs and out the front door.

Max followed.

Damian soon came to join her with some popcorn

Elliot didn't make a sound for the rest of the movie, his eyes closing occasionally to only listen rather than watch. Though as the outro played, he stretched his arms behind his head with a yawn. "I am going to leave you to rest now. Don't be up too late, we still have training tomorrow."

----
Alessia remained where she was.

He set the bowls down and he found one of her favourite movies

By the time the movie ended and he talked to her, he would have noticed that she had fallen asleep though not too long ago and hadn't heard a word he said.

---
"Random walk or do you have somewhere you want to go?"

“Let’s walk random.”

"Hey, princess, I am talking to- Oh." Elliot cut himself off with a chuckle as his eyes fell upon her. Slipping from the bed as gently as he could, and maneuvering the pillows she was leant against to ease her into a lying position.

---
Alessia quietly watched him.

"Random it is."

---
Only when he moved the pillows she had been laying against did she budge, eyes fluttering open enough to know it was him. "Hm?.." she managed to hum though she was already back asleep in seconds.

"You're okay." Elliot fussed softly, pulling the covers up to tuck her in. Using a feather light touch to tuck a strand of hair behind her ear before slipping from the room.

Sophia hummed something softly in her sleep, subconsciously shifting towards that touch but not waking up at all.

(( New day? ))
