(c) with you Jane Hastings [my grin now matching hers] My pick you say? [closing my chamber door behind us] Is there a theme I must (c)

(c) abide by? [stealing a sideways glance at her as I remember our usual rule]

(c) the movie I seek, skimming through the familiar titles before finding it, slipping soundlessly over to the player and placing it inside]

[walking slowly over to Jane Hastings, smiling down at her before taking my place next to her, as the lights dim the music starts to play]

[humming along beside Jane Hastings as I allow myself to get comfortable for the first time in, what feels like, ages, leaning back]

[my fingers trailing along the bricks as I patrol the passageway, humming to myself, too quiet for human ears as I continue along]

[sighing heavily, almost childlike attitude seeping through, not wanting to be on patrol, needing Jane Hastings's company]

[letting my feet swing from the bed, never touching the floor, as I stare at the door once again, waiting impatiently for Jane Hastings (c)

(c) to place her gentle knock on the aged wood, knowing her patrol will not last much longer]

(looking over at Jane Hastings and letting a rare smile spread on my features) And what did you have planned today my dear Jane?

(rolling my eyes at Jane Hastings and doing little to disguise it, aware that she knows my disdain in having to decide our schedule)

(irritation seeping into my veins as my hunger and all it entails clouds my judgement and my vision, red flashing before my eyes)

(deciding I can wait for Jane Hastings for end her patrol before we hunt, wondering where #Heidi has wondered off to and why she (c)

(c) hasn't graced us with her presence and bounty lately, the venom coating my teeth as the hunger takes over my thoughts again)

(looking around the room, now feeling significantly smaller and slightly claustrophobic, hoping to see something that might distract me)

(a rare smile crosses my face as I see Jane Hastings heading my direction down the long, narrow passageway) To the our spot, dear (c)

(c) sister? (holding out my arm for her to take as she appears at my side, nodding back to her as she answers a quiet 'yes')

(silently guiding Jane Hastings toward the secluded rose garden on the grounds, watching her closely as her hand glides across the (c)

(c) the stone and moss of the nearby wall, my curiosity getting the best of me as I ask) What is on your mind? (listening intently as (c)

(c) she rattles on about her patrol and all of the nothingness that surrounded her day as well)
