Her head cleared of its thoughts, and she slowly, but surely started to nod off. The shakiness of the bus wasn't ideal, but she had the sureness of Cassius's arms around her. It felt right to have him here. No one would convince her otherwise.
'Just be careful, last time you got your heart broken.' She warned herself, biting her lip gently.
Sucking in a deep breath, she let it out slowly as she thought about one of the last time she had fallen for a pretty face. It didn't end well, and surely she didn't want to repeat it. The terrible feeling she got from it, was something that still broke her heart. It had been three years, and she had assumed she was over it, but when a guy tells you to grow up and forget your dreams, it's quite hard to forgive and forget.
So with that terrible thought in mind, she slipped into a sleep she wasn't going to wake easily from.
(wanna skip to the arrival?)
(That's what I was thinking :P)
(Thank you!)
Cassius had been awake for about 3 of the five hour road trip, listening to all of the snores and waves of talking as his headache grew. The clitter clatter of the bus as it rocked back and forth annoyed him, but he didn’t let that bring him down.. no, how could be be brought down?
In his arms was this adorable little ball of joy and sweetness sleeping, cuddled up beside him.
Every time he looked down at her his face turned red and he forced himself to look away or else he might accidentally wake her up by his heart beating so fast.
Which by the way he didn't know the could happen since it was so cold, nor did he think he could blush since its simply heat rising in your cheeks. But apparently it is! And he wasn't complaining.
They passed the rather large beach down the gravel road and into the forest where it became rather foggy. Everything was dark and a bit spooky. Definitely the place werewolves would live.
Soon they came into a circular camp with cabins on all sides not far into the forest.
He turned back to her, oh that frikin adorable little ball of cutness. No, what was he thinking?
Mentally cursing himself, he gently rubbed the side of her arm in hopes to wake her up. Hopefully she was a light sleeper. “Hey, we’re here.” He says gently as he tried to drown out all of the other classmates loud talking everywhere.
The sky, was so incredibly midnight blue. The stars scattered just perfectly, reflecting off the little pond she was sitting at. Though she wasn't alone. Another figure sat besides her, on the soft white sand. Toes filing through the soft, and fine sand.
"Beautiful night," Avoiding the stranger's gaze, she starred up at the moon. "Indeed it is," He responded, scooting closer to her.
"Though aren't you worried about what could be out there?" Harmony asked the other with a faint fear painted on her face. With a light laugh, he put his arm around her in a comforting way.
"Not at all, because what's out there, is like…"
Her dream never finished, as the soft sound of another voice was waking her up. She couldn't stop herself from coming to the day light, being the lighter sleeper she was.
"Hmm?" She asked, glancing at her arm. Another was wrapped around her, and she followed it up to Cassius's face. "O-oh, we are?" Coming back to reality, and piecing things together, she sat up with his arm still around her. "I didn't mean to sleep the whole time, I'm so sorry."
She felt rather embarrassed to have slept the entire time, as she had planned to only sleep for an hour to make him happy. Though that clearly hadn't happened.
"Should we get our stuff, or just get off the bus?" Unsure of what to do, she took ahold of his hand, and laced their fingers mindlessly. She wasn't thinking straight, as she was still in her sleepy state from before. Yawning, she stretched out in the seat before turning to face her friend besides her.
Okay um I just had this whole entire frikin post set up and typed then it got deleted. So I need to regain all of that motivation….
(It's all good! Take your time hun <3)
(Still, take your time, I was just gonna bump this while I'm here)
(You know what, i was going to wait but i dont want to make you wait any longer. I just wont make it as long)
Cass’s face turned a bit warm when her fingers laced within his but he didnt say anything about it, only enjoying the blissful moment and her small hand in his.
Snapping out of his overwhelming thoughts and forcing his mind to stay out of the gutter he turned back to her. “Oh, right…we should uh…probably get off the bus. We’ll- oh wait the professors telling us what to do” he says keeping her close and nodding towards the professor as the man spoke.
“Kids, we’re going to get off of the bus and get assigned to the cabins. Boys on left, ladies on the left side of the circle” the old mans voice was shakily heard through the bus as he gestured to the left.
Right outside was a bit circle of cute little log cabins with a big camp fire in the middle and on the edge of the circle was a bigger building made out of the same material as everything else.
“Its going to start raining soon, so get your luggage and help eachother out. Ill start listing names and assigning you to cabins while you get your things” he says getting out a slip of paper with his shaky hands. Why he hasn’t retired yet was a mystery to all of the students.
Turning to her, Cass let out a small sigh “well…guess we have our answer. Ill carry your things. You’re tired” he says ruffling her hair.
(You really didn't have to, I'm patient, and I can wait :) You don't have to worry about responding)
Harmony listened to the older gentleman's voice, running her thumb over his hand. She wasn't even thinking about it, she was just using it as a nervous tick. When the man finished speaking, she looked to Cassius when he spoke.
"You don't have to, I don't mind. Really I don't." She whispered, pulling out of his arms.
"You have your own things to carry, and I have a feeling we'll be lucky enough to get opposite sides of the small camp. I know it isn't a far walk, but it's enough for one person to go back and forth with double the luggage." She hummed to him, pecking the tip of his nose. Walking around him, she shuffled her way to the front of the bus.
Though it was difficult with the swarm of people also trying to get off. She wasn't the biggest person around, so this was a difficult task. People pushed pass her, elbowing her or trying to trip her up.
"S-sorry, excuse me." She mumbled, finally coming up to the front of the bus to get off. Once on the solid ground, she glanced around for Cassius, trying to look over the tops of heads for him.
"n-no it's fine. I can easily do that. I really dont-" he was cut off my her actions. Her warm lips on the tip of his cold nose made his face heat up. Oh goodness, what was happening? He wasn't falling right?
Right!?
He only let out a soft chuckle of unbelief when she squirmed through the crowd of students. Kicking up his bag, he followed her, shoving past everyone easily. "Harmony?" he called out before spotting her. Stepping off of the big bus, he ruffled her hair. "I'll get your bags. It's fine" he laughed a small bit before going to the back of the bus, ready to carry her bags to her cabin.
The petite girl jumped a bit when he spoke. Somehow she had spaced, and missed him. "Cass!" She called out, squeezing her way around the group of kids going to get their things. Coming up to his side, she took his hand in her own so she wouldn't loose him again. Her blue eyes trailed up to his face, and she gave him a sweet and tender smile.
"I said you didn't have to." Harmony mumbled bumping into him when another student pushed pass her. She squeaked, stumbling a bit before catching her balance. "I'm so sorry!" She apologized quickly, seeming to be frantic now. "I didn't mean to, are you OK?" Of course, there wasn't much damage she could do to him. She was acting as if she were double the size of him, and had broken his leg. A little ridiculous to say the least.
He only laughed a bit at her clumsiness with a playful smile. He let go of her hand and picked her up (bridal style or whatever you call it) and smiled. "there, no more stumbling" he says dropping his bag purposely. "I'll get that later, along with your luggage. Now show me which way your cabin is because I forgot and I don't want to get in trouble my the professor for PDA" he laughed.
In surprise, she slinked her arms around his neck for support. "I…" Befuddled, she looked into his eyes with a slightly pink face. Her heart skipped a beat, and she wasn't sure how to respond. All words had completely left her, with her rising flush.
"That…that way." Harmony responded, pointing off towards one of the cabins. A small emotion swirled inside of her, the longer she looked into his eyes. Her soft heart was starting to beat quicker, and she knew exactly why. 'I have a crush on him…' She admitted to herself, blinking out of the state she was in. "It's over there." She said again, more sure sounding this time.
Cassius was one dense boi, that was for sure. You would think after 200 years he would know a thing or two about his own feelings and emotions. But nope. Not Cassius.
Yeah, his face was red and he was pretty sure she could feel his heart pounding on his chest.
And with hesitation, he carried the girl to her cabin like a princess. Easily holding her up with no signs of struggle. Why?
Well he was a vampire after all. And this girl was super light.
Letting her down on the wooden steps, he smiled and kissed her hand. "m'lady"
Head spinning, and face growing even warmer, she giggled softly looking to him with a warm smile.
On the inside, she was literally screaming. Though it was happy squeals, she was surprised didn't come up to her throat. On the outside, she was a blushing mess. He seemed so smooth, and care-free. Only because she was too busy trying to hide her own emotions.
"Thanks Cass." She smiled, biting into her lower lip out of embarrassment.
Clear as day, she was definitely interested in him, though she didn't want to have to admit it.
"Are you sure you can carry my stuff?" She asked tenderly, not wanting to let go of his hand.
Cass smiled, his dimpled deep in his cheeks as he did.
He let go of her hand and stood straight up, as he had to bend down to kiss her small hand. The height difference was quite ridiculous if you would ask him. Just because of how tall he was. Her? She was perfect.
As in..the perfect height….yeah..totally.
“Yeah, its no problem. Really. I’d love to” he replied softly, his voice a bit lower before he cleared his throat. If he didnt, his voice would always go about two octaves lower if he didnt pay attention. Cassius never wanted to seem like a threat to anyone around him. Though it was quite easy and came naturally to him.
Which once again he hated, but for obvious reasons he couldn’t fix it.
‘Sorry, that sounded weird” he says, referring to how he said “i would love to” to simply carriage her luggage.
“I mean, I’d love to help you out.” His dark skin turned a small shade of red

(Hey girl! I’m so sorry i forgot honestly all about notebook but i thought it’d be really nice to pick up some of my favorite role plays. I missed you and writing with you so much! I’d love to pick this up again! I already posted just in case you did want to. But its totally fine if not!)
(Hey! That's completely understandable, and I've been so busy myself that I just haven't had time for rping these past couple of months, with school coming to an end. But now that I'm about to finally be free, I have the motivation to do this kind of stuff. So yes! I'd love to be able to pick this back up :D)
"No it didn't," She hummed, voice soft and clear. Her eyes scanned him up and down for half a second, before meeting his eyes once again. "I understood what you meant. I just don't understand why," Harmony laughed weakly, playing with her hair just a bit.
The soft hum in her tone carried out at the slight laugh, a tender smile staying on her lips. Her cheeks were a permanent shade of pink, giving her face just the right amount of color. It gave her a cute look, to go with her petite stature.
She realized how much taller he was than her. It truly was something almost comedic— but at the same time, kind of cute. Considering the fact he seemed so keep on sticking by her side, in an almost protective manner.
"You shouldn't have to carry my things, I'm perfectly capable of doing so." She insisted, not making any attempt to move. She figured he would just insist she stay there, and make her stay so he could go grab their things. Rocking on the balls of her feet a bit, she gave her signature sweet smile, still keeping her gaze on his face. He had quite the handsome one, didn't he? And his stature was also pretty attractive. And that smile-
"Get a hold of yourself!"
Cass nodded, letting go of her hand ‘well i mean if something bad were to happen, I’d rather it be me and not you” he gave a small laugh “you can stay here, ill only be a minute” he says giving her one last smile and a small bow before heading off in the direction of her luggage and his own bag that he had dropped back when had first picked her up.
He made his way through the trees, not remembering the path of the trail, but the scent of his bag.
Or what was in it.
Soon, he came upon the bag laying on the trail, though now opened.
He rushed to it, picking it up and looking inside. Only clothes and a few camping supplies.
“Damnit” he cursed under his breath, dropping the bag in the dirt and running his hand through his hair.
He stood, picking up the bag and zipping it shut, swinging it over his shoulder and searching around for anybody else.
(She could have followed him if you want, i dont care lol. Hes just actin a bit sketchy XD)
Harmony watched him walk off, pacing back and forth. She wasn't impatient, but it was the middle of the woods. One neither of them had ever been to before- to her knowledge at least.
I mean she didn't know everything about the mysterious boy. But she doubted he knew everything about the woods. He didn't seem to be the outdoors type. So in a whim of worry, she quietly followed after him, making her way down the path.
There was no reason for her to go, besides the pull she felt to go look for him. One she should have ignored, considering she wouldn't be able to give him any sort of protection, and he would probably be the one trying to protect her in the end. But she ignored those thoughts, starting to pick up her pace.
Her eyes flitted around the forest, trying to make sure she knew how to get back. But after a few more twists and turns, and she grew lost.
Though she wasn't afraid, feeling like she knew her whereabouts better than she actually did. So she kept going, hearing some footsteps up ahead.
In hopes of finding someone she knew, she followed the sound. Besides, how many people would be in the woods after all?
It could be her councilors, or her peers, or even Cassius. She felt no reason to fear.
(Pfft, and she's being dumb, big time.)
(Its aight she cute :3 and honestly I'd do the same thing ngl XD )
Cass takes a deep breath, holding his hand in front of his mouth as he let his cold breath out in a heavy sigh.
There were many creatures that would be more than interested in the contains of the bag, but none that could carefully unzip the bag and take it out.
His sad-troubled looking eyes go to the ground, or to what was on the ground.
A single, hospital blood bag laying in the course dirt. He doesn't look around to see if anyone was watching, as he most likely should have. Too caught of guard, he quickly goes to pick it up. He holds it in his hand, looking the half-empty bag of warm blood before synching the opening and brushing it off, unzipping his bag and setting it in.
somebody's here…who's stupid enough to steal from a vampire? he thought, his eyes darting in between the trees.
(Hey I painted Cass for you to get more of an idea of what he looks like in the rp ^^ https://pin.it/2g5Lehb )
