Week Eighteen: Monday
When: Monday Evening
Where: The Pool
Being trapped anywhere was never a good feeling, especially when it came to Cissy Vallario. She hated having to sit still as a general rule of thumb, and after having spent a weekend in New York again, she was finding her inability to keep herself from moving around even more prevalent. And tonight just had to be the full moon, one of the times when she, for reasons unknown, always seemed to find herself at her most restless state.
Walking around the house had done little for her. Hanging out in the common room had only made her decide that all the non-weres in her house were dull. Frankie was off doing something with her friends and Vinnie was busy and Xander.. well she didn't want to know what he was doing tonight, and she was just bored. Bored. Bored. Bored. Normally she would have gone for a run and that would have helped her out but considering that she couldn't go outside, that idea was shot all to hell.
Finally a decision was made. A swim was in order. It was the best she could come up with to help cure her of her excess energy. A swimsuit was chosen, a towel tossed over her shoulder, and Cissy was on her way. It didn't take her long to find the room in which she was determined to calm down her own "inner beast" as the werecreatures liked to call it, at least enough that she could sleep, before retreating to her bedroom to close her eyes and wake up on a new day where perhaps she would feel less stir crazy.
The pool was empty when she arrived but it wouldn't stay that way for long. Cissy dove into the pool, her lithe body taking to the water with all of a natural swimmers grace. She could have been a professional had she cared to devote the time to it, but she had never wanted that for herself. Still she moved rather gracefully and soundlessly through the glistening pool, to one end and back to the other, each lap swam more quickly that the previous, until she found herself resting at the side of the pool, wet hair pushed back out of her face as the warm water of the pool lapped at her supple form.
