Ann
The redheaded vampire studied Aster’s face carefully again. There was another long pause after she had asked, and she was feeling a bit uncomfortable, so the only thing she had left to do was focus back on the Rakshasa’s expression to what had just happened. She wasnt quite sure what he was thinking, as he looked kind of like a deer caught in headlights. Despite her nervousness, she couldnt keep a small grin from appearing on her otherwise worried face.
When she had first met Aster, he had seemed very poised and important, but now he just looked vulnerable. There was something endearing about it, and it made Ann feel warm inside. She wondered for a moment if anyone else had ever seen him this way. Suddenly he leaned toward her, slightly tilting his cheek in her direction.
Sorry...my mind blanked for a bit, could you repeat that one more time?”
Ann’s grey eyes widened in surprise and she felt a bit confused before finally realizing that this probably meant he was ok with it! Her small smile turned into a fanged grin, and she put on an air of confidence even though her insides still felt queezy from nervousness. She didnt want that expression of his to go away. She wanted to keep it locked inside her mind forever. Although it was a short lived moment, it had made her feel important. Special even.
“I said that I’m going to have a surprise for you tomorrow,” Ann repeated softly, her eyes appraising the taller vampire with what one could only decribe as love, “so you’d better be watching for me!” Suddenly Ann’s happiness had begun to melt away. The warmness had quickly been replaced with a sudden feeling of worry, and her mind automatically shifted over to thoughts of her brother. Something was wrong...
“Aster, I have to go alright? I’ll be looking for you tomorrow. I’m really sorry...” She felt so torn between staying with him and going to find her brother.. but the nagging feeling in her gut told her to hurry and look for Asher.
