Who: Eric, Bran and Alice When: Week 14; Wednesday Afternoon Where: Kahmr State Park Rating: TBD Status: Closed/In Progress
It had been ages since Alice had been to the State Park. A little over two years, to be precise, and she couldn't help but smile in spite of the bizarre, sometimes-awkward, sometimes-terrifying details of her current predicament. She'd volunteered happily to give Bran a tour of the island provided Eric gave them the okay, but inviting the vampire along had just kind of been a spur of the moment decision. It would've been rude to ask to go out and not invite him along, after all. She'd been a little surprised when he agreed to go with them but not unpleasantly so. She wanted to figure him out more or at least try to as she walked the fine line of her place as a Slayer and a slave.
The hiking trail down to one Gihon Lake was especially pretty in the snow even without the color of spring flowers or fall leaves, and Alice led the way gladly, occasionally but still sort of shyly pointing out little landmarks. But not too many. She didn't want to aggravate either of the extremely old Supernaturals.
"My sister and I used to swim down here in the summer. It's really pretty any time of the year though, I think," she said, gazing out over the mostly frozen lake. It was cold, but that had never bothered her much. It was just nice to be home. Even like this. She could almost forget the grisly duty she was apparently destined to fulfill or something. The memories were all bittersweet all things considered, but she kept a happy smile on her face nonetheless.
