HªppY Høµr!

Brandon stopped to laugh before he answered, "Oh, not long, just about a century and a half, I suppose." He smiled a little more whole heartedly now-- an amused smile--, setting the guitar down gently on the floor beside him-- the other side from Sadie.

Sadie moved and rested her head on his knee, smiling. "You were wonderful." She said, rolling to look up at him. "Fantastic. Maybe you can help me improve my skills sometime?"

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"Thankyou," Brandon said, though he shrugged, as if his performance were nothing special, and idly played with a few strands of her hair that fell across his knee and said, "Of course, any time you like.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

I gotta go to a talent show! Talk to you tomorrow!

Sadie said to him, "You're probably one of the best players I've ever heard. Seriously!" She kept smiling at him, showing off her pearly white teeth. She watched as he played with her hair.

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Alright! Good luck!

Brandon shrugged again, "I'd put it down to just having a lot of time to practise, really. But I'm glad you like listening to me play, I just want people to enjoy it the way I do."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Sadie said, "You're really modest. Some people play for years, and they still can't play worth a crap!" She sat up, stretching slightly. "I think you have a gift, Brandon."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

He sighed, "I just wish I could let other people hear it, go out and try and make records or something like that. But I don't think I could, being the way that I am.."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

"I bet you could." Sadie said. "Besides, vampires basically own the modeling and acting agencies. So why not start the music trend? I mean, think about it. The models in ads are way too beautiful, too symmetrical, to be human. Well, most of them. They'll live forever, so they have a long shelf life. They can do poses that human bodies physically can't. And, plus, Prudence used to do a bit of modeling for a big jeans company."

Brandon looked slightly surprised, he knew less about his own race than he'd first thought. He'd never realised how much vampires had just decided to show what they were-- and all his hiding had therefore been for nothing. This also meant a few things for Sadie-- if she really did want him to change her, at least he wouldn't have to worry about ending her chance at a music career as long as he could maybe break into the business. "Then.. You're right, maybe I should try.."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

"Of course you should!" She exclaimed.

"It's a lot easier than you think. Many vampire families, centered in New York, have become the most influential people around." Prudence explained. "But they choose a strange sort of life style. They go through cycles, they'll be reborn. That's how THEY live forever."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Sorry about that, Lauren called on me.

Brandon nodded, interested by the whole prospect. If it helped him get back the dream he'd had, it was worth a good listen. "That is odd, though. I don't know if I would like that sort of life, but it might be worth it just to get into the business."

 

[Bunny_grl07]

It's fine. My sis needed the comp anyways!

Prudence said, "Well, the up side to being reborn over and over is that their partner-- soul mate, if you will-- is reborn as well. And so, you never have to part with your vampire lover. The downside is, sometimes they won't find each other in a certain generation, so they'll have to wait for their next cycle."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

Brandon asked, "And would you choose this way of living?"

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Prudence looked thoughtful for a while, but then she shook her head. "For me personally, I wouldn't. I rather like not having to worry about trying to remember my past, or finding a soulmate or anything. Plus, I like to go with the wind, and see everything changing around me."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

That was the answer he was hoping for. He thought the concept behind the idea was very interesting having not heard of vampires who do this as their way of life, but it wasn't one he would have chosen for himself. "Thanks for that," he said, despite having pretty much made up his mind.

 

[Bunny_grl07]

Prudence said, "Besides.... those vampires are... different than the rest of us. They're actual angels that have fallen from heaven, because they chose to join Lucifer. Michael the archangel went with the ones who had fallen, to try and guide them back into grace again. They long to go back to serving their god, in heaven. Others of us were changed by the other kind of vampires."

Brandon was intent to the story again. He'd been ariund for a long time, and still had so much to learn. He found stories about his own race fascinating. "Have you ever met any?"

 

[Bunny_grl07]

"Yes, I have. Her name was Elana. She was the reincarnation of Gabriel. When Gabriel came to earth to help guide the vampires, he changed into a woman, Gabrielle. Michael wanted to go with Gabrielle, so he came to earth."

 

[KERFUFFLE]

"So, how old are you, exactly, if you don't mind me asking?" It was difficult to tell, at a first thought, it would have suggested that she was an old vampire, but it depended on when Gabriel had been reincarnated into Elana.
