[The best part about being a vampire - besides the strength and the speed and the senses in general, anyway - is having a little switch in your brain. When your emotions get to be too much - intensified as they are - all you have to do is close your eyes and look inward and flick it to off.

Once, he was going to be married. Once, he was going to have a happy life, even if it was as a vampire. Some things you don't survive, James had always known that. He hadn't always known about vampires, or that they're almost impossible to beat, or that if you die with their blood in your veins, you can wake up from multiple gunshot wounds.

Of course, once he hadn't known that his fiance was a witch, either, but eventually he always learns the important things. There's a silver ring on his left ring finger that she blessed, or magicked, or whatever the hell the proper verb is, that lets him walk in the daylight without burning up. He almost threw it away when she died, thought about burning up beside her - but his sense of self preservation runs deep. And it led him to his humanity switch. Turning it off was the easiest thing in the world.

Now, he doesn't miss her. Now, he doesn't grieve her. Now, he doesn't care about anything except hunger.

And right now, he's hungry.]


(ooc: Super duper affected, sorry for all these backdated posts. He's a vampire from the Vampire Diaries canon, and he's a douchebag because he just don't give a fuck. Picture Elena when she was an inmate but. possibly worse because she's nicer than him on any given day anyway. He's out looking for blood, so any volunteers totally welcomed!)

[Lydia thinks she has her magic under control. She dares come out of her room and there is black smoke still all around the corridor. But she can see through it. It shouldn't be enough to hurt anyone. At least she doesn't think so.

She just needs to see if she hurt anyone. She needs to make sure and then she'll go back inside her room -- that isn't really hers -- and stay calm.

There is a man approaching her, though and the are that is mostly dark still and Lydia stops before calling out:]


The smoke might hurt you!

[She's watching him warily, it doesn't seem like it's thick enough to hurt anyone, but she is pretty sure he'd be coughing by now if it did.]

It might not, I don't want to hurt anyone. Are you sure you want to risk it?

[Lydia stares at him almost in shock. Because she doesn't like the way he's talking to her, even if she's surprised at how easily he's coming at her.]

That's rude. I'm trying to control it, but-- I don't know how to.
lydiascreams: (Neutral stare glare)

[personal profile] lydiascreams 2014-06-18 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
I told you I don't know how to!

[She's glaring now.]

And you're making me angry.
lydiascreams: (Bitch please stare mock neutral)

[personal profile] lydiascreams 2014-06-19 04:21 am (UTC)(link)
[Yeah, angry. Hands on her hips, chin up type of anger.]

What do you want? More smoke?

[It's creepy, and scary and she takes a step back. Because she still can't control her powers, one way or another.]

The kitchen isn't this way.

[When his face changes, Lydia gasps and cover her mouth with a hand as she steps back further into the smoke.]

You're a monster!

[She stills when he takes her wrist, her eyes widening.]

Let go! [She tries to pull her hand away from his grip.]

Please, let me go.
lydiascreams: (Banshee screams)

[personal profile] lydiascreams 2014-07-02 12:29 am (UTC)(link)
No!

[And then there are teeth sinking into her arm and Lydia screams. Just a normal, terrified girl scream.

She closes her eyes and flexes her hand, a puff of black smoke coming from it, but it's too weak to really do any harm.]
lydiascreams: (Banshee hurt neutral unconscious)

Nope, works for me!

[When he's done, she slides down to the floor bonelessly. She's alive, but too weak to move. She won't be going anywhere unless someone finds her in the middle of the mess of black smoke she's created.]
