Akira Kurenai-18-female-human
It was early morning, the birds singing their sweet tunes. The day was sunny, but it also appeared as if it was going to rain. Odd, how it was perfectly sunny, yet seemed like it was going to rain. It was unique, yet oddly interesting. ''Mom, how much longer are you going to keep pruning me like a life-size doll?'' she asked as her mother continued to straighten waist-length white hair, eventually putting a crystal-studded hair clip in the back of her hair.
'' Now now, you know you need to always look your best, Akira.'' her mother said to her with a gentle smile.
'' But I'm tired of you taking and hour and a half on my hair each day. It gets annoying.''
''Hush now.''
Sighing in defeat, Akira crossed her arms as her mom looked over every little bit of hair on her head. Finally content with how she looked, Akira's mother dressed her in a Lavender dress that was knee length in the front, anke-length in the back. The top was adorned with a few rhinestones that went up and over the sleeve that draped across her right shoulder. The left side of the top was strapless, and sat snug against the skin just below her collarbone. To be honest, it annoyed her how much her mother dolled her up all the time. While she didn't have much for makeup, just some mascara and a touch of eyeliner, the rest of it was still annoying. She just didn't understand why this had to happen all the time. Maybe for special occasions, but really, all the time like this? It was especially bad around this time of year. While her birthday had been back in early spring, it was about mid-fall her mother started dolling her up at the end of each week until the end of December. What was so important about that time of year that she always had to look nice? They almost never had people over, so what was the point?! If she was going to be dolled up like she was, at least let her go for a walk or something, even if it was an escorted one. Sighing once more in defeat, she looked out the window of her room at the forest in the backyard, waiting for her mom to call her down for breakfast. Despite how beautiful it seemed outside, something felt off about today, but she just couldn't place any reason why.
Aido Nightingale-18-male-pureblood vampire
Upon a chair in a study that rested within a mansion sat a young-looking man, downing the last of a crimson substance the resided inside a glass chalice. It was blood- also known as his breakfast. He needed to make sure he was well nourished for the day- he didn't want to scare off the girl he was to meet today. It was important that he didn't frighten her. All these years he had been waiting for the day to come in which it was time for him to collect his end of a deal he had struck with a mortal woman years ago, who had at the time been carrying a child. In exchange for her safety, and the naivety of her child in terms of knowledge about the world outside those sheltered walls they called home. However, there comes a time in life in which one can no longer remain innocent and naive, a day in which they must face reality if they are too continue on in life. After he finished his breakfast, Aido took a shower, afterwards dressing in a white shirt beneath a black vest, followed by black pants and dress shoes. Better to make a good, over-dressed impression than a bad one, yes? Grinning to himself he took one last look in the mirror before he left his manor, on route to collect his end of the deal. He had stopped by every few years, secretly, to check on the family he had made the deal with, though they never knew he was there. They wanted their child entirely sheltered from vampires, so he obliged. He just needed to make sure everything was going according to the deal, so he stuck to the shadows every time. Today though, today was different. Today, he'd actually get to speak to the family again, and actually meet the one who had been promised to him. Smiling he continued on his way to the house of the human family.
