I was better prepared for a dream this time; It was not as pleasant as the one I had previously, no this time was more gruesome.A shadow followed a beautiful woman, with dark curly hair, it looked very natural, With the greenest orbs I have ever seen they would make any emerald shy. and a cheerleader body, she was wearing tennis shoes and a bottle green cardigan that was unbuttoned with a white vest, and a pair of straight-cut light wash blue jeans. She was running from it in a sweat, her heart racing in fear. she knew the shadow was following her, she could not have been older than 16. Before she could reach her destination the shadow caught up with her own shadow. It seemed as if the two shadows were wrestling and then the girl just slumped down, face ashen as if she had died weeks ago.I knew this was New Orleans because there was loud Jazz music, the way the streets were set up with that homey feeling, and the culture was so engulfing, I went to look up when the New Orleans Jazz f

Walking into Swig and Swine Barbecue I can tell that I will not be walking out of there anytime soon. The vibe is all there, and everyone is friendly.I walk straight up to the bar which is manned by the most beautiful woman I have ever seen. She has the palest skin, like someone who does not enjoy the sun, and her hair is as white as snow. But her eye, oh her eyes are what draws me, it is the strangest shade of blue I have ever seen, it's pale blue but more like silver than blue, and she is built like a runner.It is rather loud, and since the guy at the car rental place had difficulties understanding me because of my Highlander accent, I taped on my phone to ask if it is okay to have Tom in here and hand the phone to her, she nods her head looks at me then starts typing on my phone with a smirk she hands it back.: "Cat got your tongue?"

As Soon as I was done though, I went back to the pub, but no Lydia. Instead there was a young man he looks around 32 years of age, brown hair hazel brown eyes, if that even is a color! He built like a boxer. He is from what I gather around 6 feet 3 if I had to compare him I would say that he reminds me of Marcel from The Originals. “Hi, I am looking for Lydia?” He looks up from rubbing down the bar with a white cloth “If you find her please tell her that I will not give her another chance to fuck me over, whenever it gets busy the bitch disappears.” very angry vampire manager, oi this girl has gotten herself into a but load of trouble today. “Alright lad, calm down.

Another asks me if I am the mother of vampires as that is all she can scent off me.

At this point, Scarlette has grown on me and I do not wish any harm to fall upon her."No Jackson, if she wakes up by herself she will be your friend, not mine, nor ours.
