Day 10
Who: David and Edward
Where: The beach and then the lobby
When: Day 10; 11pm
Why: David arrives and demands an explanation for this B.S.
Rating: TBD; Probably PG-13
Status: In Progress

Everything was going exactly as planned which is why David should have suspected something bad would happen. It was Murphy’s law, right? If anything can go wrong then it will and David’s luck was bound to run out at some point. His life was just going too well. Immortality, amazing powers, a gang of vampires to do his bidding and free reign of Santa Carla. The only thorn in his side was Michael but soon his blood would overwhelm the human’s and Michael would be one of them. Tonight was the end of the initiation as David and the boys led Michael to an isolated beach party full of surf punks. As they perched in the tree, David opened his mouth to tell Michael just that when the tree, the beach and his fellow vampires suddenly disappeared.

For a moment it felt as if David was simply free-falling through black space when he landed on cold, wet sand. He thought at first that he was back on the beach and that he might have just fell out of the tree but a quick look around told David that wasn’t right. For one thing there was no tree, no partying surfers and none of his vampires there to laugh at David for falling. Second, there had been a drastic change in the weather. Gone was the peaceful moon lit night, only to be replaced with howling winds and flickering lightning bolts. “What’s going on here?” he muttered, the vampire’s voice lost to the wind. He climbed to his feet and staggered forward, wet sand clinging to his black jeans, gloves and duster.

Thanks to his heightened eyesight, it was easy for David to pick out the light of the resort through the rain and darkness. Common sense told him to head for the light. If anything, it would help him figure out where he was to but David had a strong suspicion that it wasn’t Santa Carla anymore. It didn’t smell like the resort town and there was no sign of the boardwalk from here. As he moved closer to the building, David could pick the smaller buildings along side of the larger, lit-up building as well as the white stucco walls. Where am I? On a tropical island?

Once he reached the main building, David circled around until her found a large, unlocked door. With hesitation, David barged in and slammed door shut behind him. It looked like a lobby to some fancy resort. “What the fuck is going on here?” he demanded in a low and dangerous tone.

edward love watching bella sleep.He had been listening intently to her mummble,tossing and turning,and had half-wanted to awaken her in case she had been having a nightmare,but soon enough the stirring stopped.

The sound of the storm,and the party he had seen flyers for,were perhaps the only sound that caught his attention,one of which seemed to be in the distance and the mummering of human chatter and laughter,were easy to ignore.

Still,even though it was a hurricane,he always did love storms,and he seriesly doubted the howling winds would even phase him,as he glanced back mostly to make sure bella was still sleeping and,thanking his lucky stars that she could sleep through a earthqauke most of the time,ventured outside.

Even over the howling wind and rain,he could hear the low,obvisiouly pissed off tone,of someone and wandered toward its origin.that and the sound of a door being slammed shut tipped him off.

Raising an eyebrow he stepped up beside the..biker?.Edward could smell the vampire blood on him,so he obvisouly wasnt human,great."You lost?"He asked lightly,but with an edge of defiance in his voice.

“Gee, was I that obvious?” David sneered as he turned to face the new voice. As if the pale skin wasn’t enough of a clue, David could smell the vampiric blood within Edward’s veins and knew he wasn’t dealing with a human here. “Do you own this place?” he asked, glancing around the lobby with a cool look.

“I woke up on the fucking beach out there and I’d like to know how I got there”, he looked over Edward again, sizing up the young man and wondering what his true age was. Since most vampires David knew looked young he also knew how deceiving appearances could be and this guy had an old feel to him. The question is, how old and how powerful? No matter how powerful this vampire might be David seriously doubted he was powerful enough to transport people since David was fairly certain that was impossible but Edward could know how he came to be here.

“Any idea of how I got on the beach?” It wasn’t an angry question but there was an obvious edge in David’s voice, a wariness that anyone could pick up on. Like he suspected Edward had something to do with David’s sudden change of residence. David tried to temper his suspicious expression by asking another question, a little less accusatory question.

“You’ve got name?”

Great,a new person.Edward thought to himself.The last thing He wanted to do was greet a newcomer,but since he was already here and all..

He shook his head at the question "Sadly no I dont own this place"He paused,sizing david up.He knew that just because he looked young,didnt mean he was a newborn,half of his family could pass for 17 in a heartbeat if they had to.Still,edward was wary,one never knew what fellow vampires were capable of.

"I kind of do..though your probaly not gonna like the answer."He responded carefully,gaging the other vamps reaction carefully."you've kind of been...taken.By another planet."He almost winced at how stupid and insane his words sounded.Thankfully he didnt have far to go,and nodded in the direction of the tablet on the far wall,probaly to keep people from being soaked to bone even more then they were,and gave him a sheepish look.

"Names edward"He answered,extending his hand

David glanced at Edward's hand, raising an eyebrow but he took it regardless, giving Edward his own leather clad hand. It seemed like David was always wearing his motorcycle gloves. "A planet?" That had to be one of the craziest things David had ever heard but luckily for Edward, he had something to back up that claim when the other vampire nodded toward the tablet. With his eyesight David could read it clearly from where he stood and devoured the words with in mere seconds.

The tablet verified what Edward was saying but David couldn't deny his own doubts about this place. Still, there was no point in arguing about whether or not this was all true because it wasn't going to change the fact that David was still stuck here. Instead, the vampire decided to focus on the tablet and it's rules.

"No killing allow? I think the planet might have picked the wrong people to abduct Edward. How do our kind survive here with killing?"

Edward shook his hand only half-heartedly,Nodding sadly at the curious tone in david's voice "As insane as that sounds, its true.I'm sorry"He muttered,jamming his hands in his pockets and watching the other vampire warily as he read the 'rules'

He gave him a sheepish look "Well,there is a forest,It seems this place doesnt mind a few wild animals being offed.."He said.He knew that not every one of his kind was a vegetarian like him&his family,so he wasnt quite sure how david would take this news. "And theres a resturant,im sure they'd probaly stock blood if you asked them,though most of the humans dont know about us.."he added.

David wore an expression of disbelief. Did Edward really expect him to feed off of animals or stocked blood? Animals could be bearable if he was really stuck but somehow David just couldn’t picture himself dining on a bag o’ blood in the restaurant. “I see. We’re expected to feed off substitutes when there are humans available?” he scoffed. Inwardly David was concerned about the no killing rule though so he had to ask.

“What happens if you do kill someone here?” He wasn’t sure that Edward would have the answer to that. Chances were the other vampire hadn’t tried it. David had a sneaking suspicion this vampire was a bleeding heart. “Or have you just been sampling the wildlife?”

Edward cringed, the man answering internal question about wether he was a veg or not. "Yeah..I dont think this planet thing would take to kindly to us snacking on humans.Then again I dont know,I dont think anyone's tried it before"At least as far as he knew,then again david was the only other vampire he had come across lately.

He didnt quitemeet his gaze at the next question,instead he distracted himself by opening the blinking box, and handing the other man his key, at least he hoped it was his because he so did not feel like going out into the storm to look for another new person. "I-uh"He coughed,embarassed "I actually dont know. So far its an idle threat, no been's brave enough to try anything." he managed to answer.

Of course you don’t David thought, resisting the urge to roll his eyes. Already he thought less of Edward for not being a killing vampire. As far as David was concerned killing was one of the better aspects of being a vampire but he kept that to himself. No need to make enemies right away after all. David took the key that was being offered to him and looked down at it curiously. “B 150”, he read out loud from the tag. “Okay, what is this for?” he asked Edward, giving the other a strange look.

Once David knew it was for his room it began to sink in that he was truly stuck here. “How many people are here? Are there any other vampires I should be looking out for? And has anyone tried to leave yet?” It was a barrage of questions but David didn’t feel the least apologetic for that. While he had Edward in front of him David planned on getting as much information as the other vampire would willingly spare.

Not that there weren’t other ways to gather information David reminded himself but prodding at Edwards mind would have been trickier then a human’s. It also carried the risk of offending the other vampire but David wasn’t overly concerned about that. If Edward wouldn’t kill for food then David was sure he wouldn’t try to kill him for being nosey.

"your room more then likely"He answered automatically with a shrug.He gestured for the other vampire to follow him, might as well get the tour guide stuff out of the way,he knew some of his kind hated company.

Edward didnt mind the barrage of questions in the least,having learned infanite patience from bella. "I dont know exactly, but their seem to be more people showing up every day or so,so it could be a while before this place fills up as for other vamps-"

He paused,thinking back to what ace had told him a few days ago,though he had yet to run into the said rumored other vampire"-I was told there was a few others here, but other then you I havnt seen hide nor hair of him,or her"He finished with a shrug.

He steeled himself as the wind and rain slapped at them, though the movement was hardly necessary,the rain just bounced off him and the wind barley moved him "As for leaving?Theres a few people here rumored to be trying to find a way off this rock, but so far i dont think they have"

I just hope those other vampires aren’t bleeding hearts, David thought dispassionately as he idly looked around at the lobby before he followed after Edward. He was not looking forward to going out into the harsh weather again but David pushed his distaste aside. A little bit of rain and wind was not going to hurt him. The prospects of leaving Mirage did not sound good from what Edward was telling him, which only added to David increasingly sour mood. If David had any luck, perhaps the rumor about another vampire would prove true and if he was really, really lucky it would one of his boys that was the other vampire.

It didn’t take the two vampires long to reach Unit B and David eyed the white stucco building suspiciously. Looks like an ordinary building. Too ordinary, David added as they entered. He suddenly missed the cave back in Santa Carla. A parent’s nightmare, the cave was a horrible disorganized mesh of old antique furniture, stolen goods, and stuff found on the beach with a ton of fabric, posters and empty liquor bottles strewn about, most with candles sticking out of them. It was a far cry from the neat and orderly hallway David now found himself in. Without another word, David started sizing up the doors and tracking down 150. “Rather tight quarters”, he noted outloud and silently wondered how small the room was it.

It didn’t really matter though, David could sleep in closet so long as he was out of the sun but nothing could have prepared him for what he saw when he finally tracked down the room. David opened the door expecting to see an average motel room and at first that was what David did see but just as his lip curled in disgust, the room began to change. David jumped back as the room transformed before his very eyes to smaller replica of the cave in Santa Carla. It wasn’t exactly the same which David noticed in the back of his mind but the similarity caused concern. Someone or something had to have been reading David’s mind in order to know that this was what David wanted the most.

“What the hell is this? How is this possible?” he said accusingly to Edward, as though the vampire beside him was responsible.

Edward didnt meet davids eyes the entire way to the other building,half tempted to tell him that he wasnt a bleeding heart, but he didnt want to upset the vamp anymore then he already was.Though most vamps tended not to care if you had an extra power or two,espically the ones that had a few themselves,but those that didnt tended to be overly jealous,and even hold grudges.

He glanced up at the comment and grinned knowningly "yeah,but their bigger then they look trust me"He muttered as the david swing the door open, edward craned his head to catch a glimpse of the room and frowned slightly at the 'decartion'.A cave?who lived in a cave?maybe his sire was some sort anti-social vampire or something?he thought to himself.

He thought about asking just that when he was suddenly bombared with questions.Edward took a step back,holding his hands up as if he surrendered "Dont look at me, its this planet thing, it changed your room to whatever you want it to look like the most."He explained, rubbing the back of his of head nervously. "Mine looks like my room at home, and im sure the other inhabits are the same way"He added almost thoughtfully.
