Fire Rekindled

[Altair Silvera]

The town was not new to Altair not really anyway. He had been here before a while ago while travelling on his own and had come across the most interesting boy. It resulted in him playing a rather one sided game of soccer with said boy. And even for a human he put up a good game that even the vampire was proud of. But now he was back with the woman that he had fallen madly in love with so quickly. A cute telepath that understood him just as he understood her. They completed each other in so an odd way but it kept the relationship strong and unpredictable. Well at least for him it was more unpredictable. She could know any and everything by simple touch. Even at this very moment he held her hand as they entered the town.

They had been travelling together for quite some time now. It was such a big move for them. Altair had taken a break from vampire mountain to travel around with Bijou. It was weird because as long as it was sunny they had to be inside and away from the sun. It was such a weird life to live for a human yet Bijou dealt with it she dealt with him. She was truly amazing and maybe he got a little sappy in his thoughts. But it was because the girl he loved so much was holding his hand right now and he wanted her to feel his love for herself first hand.

[Bijou Wilks]

Bijou was never one to stay in one place, perhaps that was why the cirque seemed to fit so well with her. The people changed every now and then, but were mainly the same, and that was what made it so perfect, well almost perfect. She had found perfection when she met Altair, a vampire who didn't mind having his thoughts read. The telepath never knew she could love so much, so quickly. She loved traveling with him, spending every waking moment with him, he was everything to her now.
At the current moment they were walking hand in hand, her eyes darting around, taking in the newest place on their journey. It was a quaint little town, and from what she heard of others thoughts, a peaceful one filled with minor high school drama that she found most amusing. When she fleetingly heard her name in her lovers thoughts, she glanced at him with a euphoric smile, kissing his cheek with a grin when she caught onto what he was thinking off. "I love you." The words were softer than a whisper, yet her heart still skipped a beat when she said it.

[Altair Silvera]

Smiled down to the beautiful woman at his side. "I love you too." He began to show her the few memories he managed to make from his brief visit to the town. It was a nice change from the big cities and weirder things they had been encountering. "I love you too. That's why I brought you here to play 'house' as long as we can." They were moving into a more residential area. This was one of the rare times he wanted to keep something from here as a surprise. And it was hard to keep something if anything from Bijou. It wasn't as if he had anything to hide from her but if he hid something then it was something big.

He managed to rent a very cozy one bedroom home for them. Now that they were traveling he decided against coffins to at least make some of their journey normal besides traveling and spending time out once the sun had set. Other than that weird fact they spent a lot of their time doing normal things. Well the occasional feeding but he tried not to feed on Bijou too much and had to go find other meals. She was so comfortable with him and he loved her for it. But he wanted to spend his entire vampire life with her. He wanted to turn her. He realized his mind slipping and he made sure to keep that thought hidden as well. He would talk to her about it eventually just not now. He had happier things to show her.

[Bijou Wilks]

Bijou always knew when Altair was hiding something, his thoughts always seemed fleeting and scattered, not organized and practical like they usually were. A flash of curiousity hit her, and she quirked her head, their location gave her no easy answer as to where they were going-and with her horrid sense of direction she was rather glad he was the one leading them-yet she still glanced about, trying to find some sort of hint. She was so caught up in her own thoughts about it that she almost
didn't hear her love's fleeting thought, "turn her". It was always something she had skirted over when the topic came up-and when you're head over heels for a vampire and tight as siblings with a vampaneze, it comes up quite a lot-yet she had slowly been warming up to the idea. With Drake it had always been a definite no, she never had the heart to kill someone in cold blood-or turn funky colors, that's just weird. But with Altair, it was different, he was different. He was someone she loved, someone she could spend eternity with. She knew it would come up eventually, and she was prepared for it, yet the thought of being a vampire still miffed her, for Altair she would do anything.
OOC: sorry for any typos and the late response, my computer was being stupid so I typed this up on my phone

[Altair Silvera]

Altair tried to focus his thoughts on anything but the house. So instead he thought long and hard about random things. Things like kitten and puppies. That random thought actually stuck and he thought deeper on that. He always loved animals since e was a child but living as a vampire put a hold on that. Would Bijou want a puppy? Things were stable now he could easily take care of him or her. It all depended on his lover though if she was against the idea or even wasn't a dog person he would let it go. He turned to her knowing that she could hear where his thoughts were going.

It just so happened that at the same time they were approaching their destination. They stopped in front of a beautiful yet small house with a nice yard. "So what do you think of our temporary home? I figured you deserved the chance to stay in one place for a while. Have the chance to play house. I kind of made this decision without you I just hope I didn't go too far or upset you. I just want you to be happy."

[Bijou Wilks]

Bijou grinned, she was more of a cat person, but she was always fond of huskies. She mused on names, Jack? No, there were a couple of Jacks at the cirque, it needed an animal name. Timber? Timber seemed nice. "You're cute you know, and I like dogs." She brushed her lips against his cheek, she was one lucky girl she had to admit.
Bijou was pulled out of her thoughts when Altair stopped walking. She stared at a quaint little house with a wonderous yard, it was perfect. She had never really had a true home outside of her trailer in the cirque, but that was more of a place to sleep at night, not really a home. Now that she thought about it, she never had a real home. "R-really?" Her heart swelled in her chest, and she threw herself at him and kissed him with all the passion she had. Never in her life had she felt so loved, so cared for and wanted. "I love you so, so much." She nuzzled his neck, placing a kiss just behind his ear.

[Altair Silvera]

Altair was smiling brightly. A dog huh? Along his travel he ran into an interesting vampire that had a wolf as her companion. It was really quite amazing but it did make sense. It said in legend that vampires were supposed to be kin to wolves way far back. So of course being able to connect with one made enough sense to him. Perhaps that would extend to dogs as well. He or she would be perfect on long trips into the wild when Altair had vampire things to do. And it would be interesting to see the two of them raise a dog together like a sort of way to see how close they really were. Not that he needed any reassurance but it was always nice to be able to physically see the love between them.

When they stopped in front of the house he didn't know what to expect at all really. But nonetheless he was happy when Bijou was happy. Apparently he made the right move and they would be able to call this place him even for a little while. "I love you too mon fleur." He sort of growled at her nuzzling and kissing before snatching her up in his arms and kissing her passionately on the lips. He tried to keep it short and sweet though. "Come on you have a house to explore and enjoy." He opened the gate and let her take the lead. He already had the chance to check out the house.

It was still fairly new. Modern kitchen, extravagant living room, and all the nice little things. A nice addition was that there was a nice sized bath tub big enough for two. Not that he was planning on anything but it was nice. On the flip side there was also a shower. He followed after Bijou when she took the lead with a smile on his face. He wanted to see her bounce around when she found out just how amazing this deal was.

(Sorry about the late reply I was away from home for a while. But I'm back in business now. Probably should have used my phone...)

[Bijou Wilks]

The one good thing about Bijou being able to read his thoughts was that she found the easiest ways to make him happy, of course she noticed how he loved it when she nuzzled his neck, that was why she did it-the fact that his growl turned her on had nothing to do with it, of course. Before she even had time to think, her feet were off of the ground-she silently cursed her height-and found herself in the middle of a passionate kiss. Her mind was realing when she took a step towards the house, reminding herself to get her head out of the gutter and onto more children friendly thoughts.
The house was beautiful on the outside, yet even more wonderful on the inside. It was rather modern, and she quirked a grin, thinking of that stepford movie they had watched. The living room was large, bigger than she had expected, it had a nice leather couch and a newer television set. To the side of the tv was a hallway, that had a wonderous kitchen with french doors that opened to the backyard. She went further down the hallway to find a set of doors, opening the first one she found what she assumed to be the master bedroom, since it was quite large and opened to a giant bathroom. She turned on her heels then and kissed her lover. "How'd I ever get this lucky? I love it, almost as much as I love you. "

[Altair Silvera]

Altair watched as she explored the house to both of their enjoyment. It was a nice place which took quite a while to pick out. He tried to keep her tastes in mind when choosing their home. He went back to all the days they spent cuddled up in a hotel bed talking and exploring each other. Their past, the present, and their future. He came to know so much about the telepath and he wanted to continue to know her. When they kissed for the thousandth time he scooped her up and carried her away to their bed where he tossed her. It was playful and he crawled onto the bed like the predator he was before pinning her down under him. He continued to kiss her sometimes placing kisses on her neck or chest. Half way through their half battle he stopped.

The look on his face was rather serious and for good reason. He never truly voiced his opinions not wanting to sound like her 'roommate' but he had to now. It wasn't enough to give small mental hints here and there. "Bijou I love you and I know I've said it a thousand times but I really do mean it. I know you love me too. But time is moving forward whether we like it or not and I can't imagine living without you while I roam the earth for years even after you're no longer in this world. I want to be with you until my vampire life ends and I want you to be there. I want to turn you." There were so many emotions running through his head in that moment. Mostly he was just worried about her reaction though

[Bijou Wilks]

Bijou felt the soft sheets beneath her and grinned, they were red. It had been sort of a thing between the two ever since that night in the vampire caves, Bijou loved the sight of the crimson bedding. She watched him crawl up the bed, and bit her lip in anticipation, she loved when he was primal like this. He pinned her down and she felt her heart racing, her back arching in pleasure as he kissed and ravished her.
Yet when he stopped, her half lidded eyes snapped open, full of questioned. She frowned, she'd never seen him that serious, had she done something wrong? The telepath listened to his words, and the future did startle her. She'd never mentioned it to Altair, but she did ask Mr.Tall what it was like to grow old, he had simply told her she wouldn't have to worry about it, and now she knew why. She couldn't bear the pain of growing old and feeble, and knowing that Altair would stay young, and go on without her. She'd been terrified of bringing it up though, worried that perhaps he didn't want to spend such a long time with her, yet his caring words washed away all of her fears. The emotions spiraling through him were difficult to sift through, and she barely caught glimpses of them, worry, love, understanding, the list went on. "Yes." Her heart skipped a beat, terrifying and exhilarating her since she knew that soon it wouldn't beat at all. "Altair, I love you, how could I say no? An eternity with you wouldn't be long enough."

[Altair Silvera]

When he heard the word he couldn't believe it. She actually agreed to it. He shut her up smashing his mouth into her's. He didn't want to talk right now he wanted her to feel him. As always he let her powers play a part in this. As he kissed her he let her feel what he was feeling. His hands running up her sides slowly. The more he touched her the more the hunger inside him grew. Between his excitement and not having fed in a while he looked into Bijou's eyes. It was something they never tried before but he was sure she would catch on being inside his head. He took a clawed finger and slid it along her neck lightly grazing the skin so as not to break it. However he kept his touch light to give pleasant sensation before he had to break the skin. He cooed to her leaning into her ear. "I love you so much." When he finished his sentence he made a small cut between he neck and shoulder blade.

He kissed down her neck as his hands slid down to her sides now focusing his attention there. His mouth slowly moving down to the cut and lapping at the blood. He learned quickly how to make the experience pleasurable for her. It was only fair that they both enjoyed this. Really they would only be doing this for a few more times if even that. He didn't want to worry about the details but he would turn her soon. All in good time their life would be falling into place and they would have an eternity to grow old together very... very... slowly.

[Bijou Wilks]

Bijou moaned softly into the kiss, she could feel his hunger, the primal side of him that both turned her on and made her feel protected. Altair's hands roamed her body, while her hands tangled themselves in his hair, tugging playfully on his dark locks. She gasped when she felt his finger run down her neck, and a shiver went up her spine. Bijou meant to reply that she loved him even more, yet the words were lost in a sharp inhale-she always loved how he would feed on her. She turned her head to the side, allowing him more access to her neck, his name a chant in her thoughts.

[Altair Silvera]

Altair gave into his desires finally feeding slowly. He always loved moments like these.

[Fade to black]

Altair was laying on his back with one of his hands behind his head. With the other hand he idly played with her hair. He loved playing together when they were cuddled together like this. It was relaxing and brought smiles to his face every time. It sort of verified that she belonged to him and him alone and that was all he wanted. He didn't want to float around from female to female. He wanted the perfect woman and he had her right there in his arms. She made him happy and he always tried his best to make her happy. That was what made this eternal life so good. To have someone to hold onto and now he would forever. Well not yet but soon enough he would. He briefly worried about how this would effect her going back to the cirque. It was obvious she could hear his thoughts but he still wanted to talk about it.

"Biijou... what are you going to do if I-" No that was wrong. "When I turn you what are you going to do? Are you going back to the cirque? What would Drake think? Do I need to handle him." His testosterone was pumping now. He never really liked Drake. Moreso because the man was a vampaneze. But for the fact that he could have persuaded Bijou to go down that dark road. And he refused to let her. He would rip that man to shreds if he ever dared to. His thoughts were running with his emotions and he was forgetting the Bijou was probably listening to his anger boil.

[Bijou Wilks]

Bijou grinned lazily, snuggling into Altair's chest. These were her favorite moments, when the world seemed to fade away and all that remained was the beautiful silence and the hum of their euphoric thoughts. Yet worry dabbed its way through, and Bijou frowned, not meaning to but completely honing into his thoughts. The cirque was her family, the only group of people who had accepted her whole heartedly before she met Altair. And now that she had, she didn't know what to think. She always knew that she wouldn't stay with the cirque forever, but she never thought she'd leave so soon. And then there was Drake, he'd been pissed when Altair began traveling with them-the man was like a father to her, and it seemed as though she had brought home a boy whom he did on approve of-but the fact that she was going to be turned was going to sit as well with him as meat in front of a vegan. "Altair, calm down." She knew her own heart was racing, but by the way his thoughts were going, "I'll handle Drake, he's not going to like it, but if I can convince him that women and men are on equal standing-and that wasn't easy-then I can talk him into anything. And I refuse to allow either of you to hurt each other." She knew it wouldn't be easy, she was going to have a lot of trouble convincing the vampaneze that this way she could live a great while longer without having to kill anyone. As for the cirque, nothing could last forever. "and even if he doesn't like it, well tough. Its not like I was going to stay some punk kid living with the cirque forever."
