Entry tags:	!open, !plot, percy jackson, {tara thornton, ~sammii, ~tara

Characters: Tara Thornton and Open
When: Friday Evening
Location: Open Air Car
Warnings/Rating: Language, Vampire Tantrums, etc. (Tara's singing a love song and ain't too happy about it.)
Summary: Tara decides to check out the open air car and the creatures in the cave and suddenly has an urge to sing.
Status: Open, Ongoing

People were singing all across the train and it didn't appear as if it was by choice. Tara had been avoiding contact with people in case the train decided to mess with her. The last thing she wanted was to be caught singing some shitty song the train chose. The standoff between Pam was still active and while she wanted her Maker it was nice going about doing whatever the hell she wanted. She'd successfully ditched the red headed baby vampire a few days before allowing for some peace and quiet. It was a wonder what difference a year made. While the older vampire was annoying where she was from she was even worse here. Wanting to talk at all hours. The girl needed to find friends and fast. It took no time at all to walk the length of the train and then back. When Tara grew bored of that she decided to stop in the open air car. Outside the train it was cold, dark, and damp, allowing for a remembrance of the basement of Fangtasia. So long as they stayed under ground in the cave a sense of calm settled over her. Sitting down on one of the benches she just looked at the scenery, or lack thereof, and the glowing creatures. All of a sudden her foot began to tap and then words began flowing from her mouth. Her only thought that kept repeating in her head was fuck

Oooh ...
This will be an everlasting love
This will be the one I've waited for
This will be the first time anyone has loved me

I'm so glad you found me in time
And I'm so glad that you've rectified my mind
This will be an everlasting love for me

Percy was all kinds of not thrilled about this scenery, despite what Nico'd tried to tell him about how peaceful and calm it was. He felt trapped, closed in, and like he was about to punch out a wall from boredom.

He'd been to the pool car, swam laps for a few hours, and was now walking the length of the train and back, wondering if he'd ever be able to settle in his room tonight.

Coming into the open-air car...which was anything but open air...he was assaulted by one of those vampires singing...some...love song???

He frowned, but uncapped Riptide quickly anyway, giving him three feet of Celestial Bronze between him and the monster.

"What...what in Hades are you singing?"

Tara had smelt the human entering into the car. She had intended to ignore whoever it was, despite how good they smelt. Had they just passed through everything would have been all right. But, no the person had chosen to stay. When he spoke she immediately turned around and her fangs droppe at the sight of the sword and who was holding it. It was the demi-god who had threatened Pam. "None of your fucking business, Jackson."

Just as Tara was about to say more she began singing again her arms moving of their own accord.

Loving you is some kind of wonderful
Because you showed me just how much you care
You've given me the thrill of a lifetime
And made me believe you've got more thrills to spare, oh

This will be an everlasting love
Oh, yes it will now!

	Okay, yeah. She was a monster. And dangerous. But this... Well, like those mastercard commercials, this was priceless. A smile grew on his lips, and he couldn't contain the bubble of mirthful laughter. "I know, I know, I'm wonderful, and amazing, but I'm sorry to say that I already have a girlfriend. Sorry to break your heart." (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

She growled at his comment. He was mocking her. No one mocked her and got away with it.

She would show him that he should have just continued on walking.

"Fuck you! You aren't even my type. I love someone else"

If it wasn't for the sword in front of her she'd have been on top of him draining him all ready. Seeing as she was beginning to enjoy her undead life, meeting the True Death, was out of the question. Especially if it was at the hands of a teenage demi-god whose existence pissed her off.

Percy grinned, then laughed. He just couldn't help it. It was probably stupid, and he probably should have been scared rather than amused, but Percy had never been very good at doing what he should.

"Growl at me all you want," he said flippantly. "I've killed much scarier monsters than you. After all, from what I can see, you've got only one head, you don't breathe fire, you don't have wings, and you're probably fairly easy to kill. Otherwise you wouldn't be so afraid of Riptide."

He winked at her, possibly because he wasn't afraid, possibly because he had a death wish. Who knew.

"Love? Really? That's cute. Can't say I believe it, but it's cute."

Tara growled again when he called her a monster. If there was one thing she hated it was people judging others without getting to know them. All Percy had done since arriving on the train was to call the vampires monsters that didn't deserve to live.

Sure she was dangerous but a monster she was not. She didn't go around killing people for the fun of it. It took all her will power not to speed across the room and kill him when he winked at her. He was still mocking her. She hadn't meant to blurt out that she loved someone. Hell, it had only been said twice and she still wasn't sure loved was what it was.

"Why don' you just go and leave me the fuck alone!?"

"And what will happen if I do?" Percy asked, raising an eyebrow in amused curiosity. "Will you stop treating humans like burritos? Somehow, I doubt it."

He could see easily that only the sword was stopping her from attacking. At least she wasn't completely stupid. He might have only been sixteen years old, but he definitely knew how to use Riptide. He'd lost count of how many monsters had used it as a one-way ticket to Tartarus.

"We're watching you," he said softly. "All of us are."

Crossing her arms over her chest she leveled a death glare his direction. "Listen, Jackson. I don' feed on humans directly. Bagged blood is quite enough for me."

Back home Pam had often let her feed on Fangbangers. In public she'd drank TruBlood like any good mainstreamer should, despite how ridiculous it truly was. Her Maker had been right, that they'd need to keep the pretense up even with the world going to shit.

She rolled her eyes at his mention of being watched. All the vampires on board knew that the pesky demigods were watching their every move. But who were they to say what they could and couldn't do. If there was a willing human on board that allowed any of them to feed directly then it was none of their business.

"Oh, really," Percy said, entirely unconvinced. "Never heard the vampires say that before. That they're happy with bagged blood."

Still, he wasn't going to kill her for no reason, or with no proof of wrong doing. He simply wasn't that kind of a person. Tyson was a good example of a monster who wasn't bad, and if this vampire was anything like Tyson (which he strongly doubted, by the way), then he wasn't about to kill her without giving her a chance.

"Fine," he said finally. "But make sure you stay with the bags of blood."
