"You should get a vote. Does he hear you when you say you don't want to be there?" He wasn't even trying to instigate a fight with her and her brother. Far be it for Toby to lecture on sibling relationships. He and Jenna had a fucked up one. One he didn't even like to think about. "If you have family couldn't you choose together what is best for you all?"
Maybe they already had. Maybe the prison was that choice, and that was what she was learning to have to live with. He couldn't do it. Even if it wasn't the hunger that they would invoke, he would never live in a cage again. His time in Juvie had been enough, thanks. Besides, he was a vampire. There was nothing he needed protection from.
Well, the sun, but Rebekah had fixed that with a ring and a witch. There was nothing she hadn't given him, and that was why he would be devoted to her for eternity. She was everything, and he never wanted to give her reason to regret turning him. After all, he was a reflection on her, right? She was perfection.
"She's around. I like to be on my own, but you know, you can do that and still be close to those you consider yours. It's a small town. It's not like visiting other locations is forbidden right?" He studied her for a long moment. She was a pretty little thing. So much like Rebekah and Spencer, yet something all her own.
"Just family with you, or a boyfriend too? You remind me of her you know. The one who made me. Beauty and strength, semi-easily charmed by me, and not afraid to speak up for yourself."
