Thread: A Bloody Cause ( Ava & Valanaer)

Gabriella seemed surprised to see the other wounds on his body but it was no surprise to Seth, while Lycan's recovered quickly and rarely had any scars he was almost constantly covered in slashes and cuts due to his reckless fighting style. Regardless it was not the topic of their discussion and she soon moved on, cleaning the area a bit and splashing him with some water in return for the day before most likely. It caused a small smile to crack on Seth's lips but it didn't last long and their was no accompanying laugh of any sort, instead he simply sat there and stared as she mentioned trying to walk around. Without another word she left the room and came back a bit later, speaking with her concerned servant a bit before making it clear that he wouldn't be leaving until he was better and trying to ease the woman's worry. For a VanBuran she was quite considerate of not only him but those of lower status than herself, much like his brother had been. It was kind of hard to think about her being of the same blood as the other VanBuran heirs, all of them being rather ruthless and near evil men, although their people probably thought the same of him. He may have to find out the truth of that if he was discovered on Gabriel's visit, the Lycan still convinced that the vampire would probably find him if he didn't depart but knowing it wasn't an option to pick up and do anything soon. Seth tried to focus on more positive things though and quickly looked at the food offered to him, after a quick bit of help sitting up from the Vampire. It wasn't quite as difficult to sit up as it had been the day before and it allowed him to quickly devour the food presented to him, the strength it provided bringing a good bit of color back to his body and he felt less weak that he had previously. One thing did strike him as odd while he ate though, the VanBuran female seemed comfortable with him, the woman speaking in a friendly way and going as far as to talk about werewolves in a nice way, saying how they were not as bad as people made them out to be. Surely she would be surprised but he had a feeling it was the same on both sides once again. In normal everyday life most people were civil with their friends, neighbors, and family so each race among themselves were kind, it was only in war when facing each other down that the true ugliness came out, that innocent people died and they all became monsters. Seth was still convinced that Vampires were more monstrous than his people, they had killed more innocents by far and some of their attacks had been on purpose in order to cripple the race of 'dogs' as many referred to them. It was one such attack in which his brother was killed and while he could admit to himself that not all Vampires were the same he couldn't quite forgive the species as a whole. Shock stopped his thoughts in their tracks though, the next words out of her mouth something surprising for once and as she spoke of meeting a Lycan as a child it seemed like his stomach had sank and he was unable to recover quite so easily. The story was entirely lined up with his own, one night and never again, it was certainly not a common story and he couldn't help but let it slip past his lips as he thought about another similar fact, Gabby... He looked over at her stunned, his eyes looking at her face for a long moment before saying anything else, The creek I use to play at when I was younger, I met a girl there one night by the name of Gabby, a talkative little Vampire with black hair and a fair face... She only came once and then disappeared no matter how often I returned... He spoke as if he wasn't even addressing her but instead trying to get it straight for himself, the possibility that the only Vampire he had good memories of was the woman sitting next to him and a VanBuran at that. It was imporpable and yet it seemed as if fate had sat him in front of the girl from his memories and perhaps being around her had just continued to trigger the images as he slept. He stared on at her wondering if she was the girl, wondering if Gabriella was Gabby and if fate really had such an interesting sense of humor.
