Elven heard him step back and turned around immediatly. He opened his mouth to say something but clamped it shut immediatly. Violet rolled her eyes, and placed her hands on his shoulders. She then pushed him forward. Elven stumbled but caught himself before he ran into the boy. He glanced back at Violet then. Violet said, “you do what you gotta do. I’m going to go nap. Oh, and do me a favor and call Xander sometime, do he stops blowing up my phone with text messages, worried about you.” Violet then went back inside.
Elven frowned and looked back at the boy. “Um… I’m sorry about that.” He held out his hand trying to be friendly, “I’m Elven, what’s your name?”
Angel wasn’t sure how to react to the man before him. He was a stranger and not only that but his friend can use magic. It was strange and new, but Elven seemed kind so Angel took the chance. He reached out slowly still wary of the man. “M-my name is Angel,” his words were soft, “I-I am really sorry,” Angel bit down on his lower lip. “I didn’t even know this place existed..”
“That name’s appropriate.” He muttered more to himself than anything. He smiled brightly, and took his hand back, before contiuing, “not many do.. it’s meant to be abandon, but we’ve fixed it up enough so it’s livable. And you don’t have to be sorry. You didn’t do anything wrong.”
A heat radiated off his cheeks after hearing the comment from the man. “W-why are you both living here? It doesn’t seem very safe..well I guess since one comes here it’d be pretty safe anyway.” Angel played with the strap to his black laptop bag waiting for the Elven’s response patiently.
He thought about the question for a moment, noticing Angel’s fidgetiness as well. Finally he said, “found this place a long time ago. And well, we needed a place people couldn’t easily find.” Normally he wouldn’t be so truthful about this fact, but Angel had already seen Violet’s powers. It be easy to make up an excuse as too wht they needed to have a place people couldn’t find. Though he did change the subject a bit, “besides, i have to protect Violet, this is one way to help protect her.”
“Oh Violet was the girl before,” he spoke softly and brought his bawled up hand to his mouth relaying the events before hand. “Wow, you both seem to be quite the pair,” Angel chuckled lightly thinking about how the two interacted with one another and started to feel less nervous around Elven. “You both must have been together for a while, huh.” He smiled a bit and thrusted his hands in his jean pockets.
That was a little harder to explain, cause in all honesty he had only been with violet for almost two months. Thing about Violet was that her soul reincarnated. there were other versions of her over the years, much nicer versions. So, all together it be around 300 years. He couldn’t say that either though. Elven didn’t like people knowing about the whole vampirism. Usually when people found out about that, it drove them away… or they tried to kill him, or exorcise him. He rather not have either of those thungs happen, so he decided to say, “a couple of months.”
“Really? It seems you both have been together for far longer, maybe even a few lifetimes,” Angel seemed a bit surprised. He watched the sunset cascade behind the man as the colors seemed to dance over Elven’s hair and skin. He felt weirdly comfortable with the man. Normally he has trouble talking to others, but for some reason he had a feeling he could talk to Elven all day and night.
Elven smiled softly at the man. He reached up, and twirled a bit of hid hair. A nervous habit he had. He then said, “yeah, we hit it off. We know how each other works by now. Do you live in town?” He then realized something. This guy was a teenager, and usually teenagers had parents, and didn’t like them being out late. At least that’s what he’s read. He rather not get this guy in troubke by keeping him, so he said, “do you need to go home? I could walk with you if you wish.”
Angel blushed lightly as Elven touched his jet black hair. “O-oh yeah, I almost forgot,” Angel lightly hit his forehead. “Um..I hope they aren’t closed,” he mumbled to himself. “I-if you don’t mind..it’d be nice to walk with you. I just need to stop somewhere before my house. If that’s all right.” He beamed at Elven pulling down gently on his shirt.
“Yeah, sure we can do that.” He seemed to beam. “Just let me go and tell Violet.” He went and opened the door, it ended up hitting right against her head, because she had been listening at the door. He frowned and said, “what are you doing?”
Violet’s voice came through the door to say, “making sure you don’t screw this up. Now go leave, I’ll be fine for a few hours.”
Elven just shrugged, closing the door. He then went to Angel’s side, placing an arm around his waist, and hoped he wouldn’t find that weird. “We can head out now…” he bit his lip before adding, “Angel face.” He thought to himself, ‘that probably sounded creepy.’
“O-ok,” Angel’s face turned a light shade of pink that continued to illuminate the top of his ears after feeling the man’s hand wrap around his waist. “Elvey,” he lightly chuckled at the new nickname he gave to Elven. “U-um,” Angel tried to stay focused on the task at hand, “I’m pretty sure I came from there,” he pointed in a seemingly familiar direction.
