Too Hungry For Rules
WHO: James Weatherby and Andrei Dantură
WHEN: Tuesday night
WHERE: Inside the school, then outdoors.
NPCs: a girl James follows
James had gone two days now without feeding. He was punishing himself, he knew it, but it was on a principle of pride more than anything, as he refused to drink whatever it was the school served to vampires as a food source. He'd never tasted any blood but a human's, and he couldn't imagine ever doing it. It was like a meat substitute for a carnivore, or soy milk to the lactose intolerant or needed to be glucose free. He was not defective. He was not broken. He was perfect the way he was and he refused to take a substitution to the real thing.
It had led to an uncomfortable day, his hearing intensified, his eyes dilated, jumpy at sounds and of course, watching the humans with utmost interest. James could only stand it for so long. He was young for a vampire. Too young to hold off for much longer. There was still time needed to establish the kinds of connections he wanted that would give him of their blood willingly without making a fuss. James' eyes fell on a girl who walked down the dark hall where he had gone to sit and wait for the night to end. She was perfect and plump and so very alive that James felt his mouth water. He could practically hear her blood pumping through her body.
No! he told himself sternly, I will wait. I can control it until... Until...
The young heir was moving before he finished the thought, silently trailing the girl outside where she followed the cobbled path towards her House dorm. There were thick trees ahead. The perfect place to overtake her. James moved with quick strides to hide there. She came closer. It was almost time. His dinner was coming to him, innocent and unknowing.
And then he pounced.
