The Hostage Situation

[Nathaniel]

Day 1 of the hostage situation...

Ok, I am not really a hostage. It just seemed like the right thing to write at the moment.

I have a feeling this will be my longest entry in this journal. Because it is my first and there are things for me to ramble on about. Things have happened over the past few years here in this city to me. Some not good, but most of it is. I can't complain to much. The past is a closed door and there is no reason to look back at it. The only thing it got me was an adoptive daughter that I am very proud of. She moved on before I did. Took her life in her own hands and did what she wanted. As for me. I wouldn't say I struggled. I just didn't care. I slept. I woke for short periods of time. A boring existence for a person. But it suited the person I had become.

A few months ago I started to pull my head out of my *** and actually helped on a raid or two. Through that and the help of a friend I have met a female that doesn't mind my rough around the edges personality. Pru actually brings out more of it in me. I think she enjoys it. I like being around her. I hope she feels the same. We have been on a couple of dates and we spend a lot of time playing around with each other while I'm out hunting. That reminds me, I need to pick up some more t-shirts. She really seems to like to rip them and I want to keep her happy. She gave me a key to her place so I think we are doing good. I try not to take advantage of the situation. So I only stop by every once in a while.

Another thing to report here I guess would be I have sired a few people. They seem like a good group of childer. I'm trying to keep a little distance between me and them. I will do my best to help them out, but there is a lot that they will have to figure out on their own. Makes me feel bad for them. Maybe I wont be to big of a disappointment to them or Pru.

That's weird. I might actually care what a handful of people think about me.

Day 2 of the hostage situation...

All three of the people I brought over seem to be trying to make a go of it. It actually surprises me. I kind of hope they make it here. I guess only time will tell.

Now Pru has told me that I can leave some things at her place. Guess shes tired of seeing me do the walk of shame out of there when she kicks me out before the sun comes up. Hope she never finds this journal. I think she will beat me with it.

Day 3 of the hostage situation...

Today is my birthday. Or maybe this is what they would call my unbirthday from the Alice in Wonderland book I used to read to my daughter. Four years I have been turned and lived here in this city. It seems like much longer.

I had all three of the childer in the apartment today. They are all so different. Mistrusting. A little frightened of the situation they find themselves in at the moment. All three will get better in time. Except maybe the one. She was going to be a pain in the ***. Blaming him for her very existence. The truth was I found her with her heart broken and she had wanted it to stop. I fixed her. Why was she being such a brat. I guess every family has one.

My time with Pru today has been great. Invited me to go do something with flying. I bet shes going to push me out of a plane or something like that. I do enjoy a demanding and dangerous woman.

Day 4 of the hostage situation...

To get the usual stuff out of the way. The childer seem to be getting along pretty well. So that is a good thing. A bunch of kids fighting is not how I like to spend my time. Of course the one still hates me, but she will be fine sooner or later. Things between me and Pru are progressing. Rather well actually. I'm glad. I really like her.
I don't think I want to share all of that here though.

Because...

I think somebody has been reading this book once I write in it. I can't be sure, but I have this suspicious feeling about it. Every time I come back to this book the pages are all ruffled and not where I left them. Who would want to even read this mess? Maybe Pru has found it and decided to go through it after all. I haven't wrote anything interesting but she might want to see what I'm saying about her. If its just her, then I don't really mind at all. For all I care she can write in it. Fill in the blanks that I leave behind. I bet if she has a journal it would be much more interesting. Maybe I should look for it.

As for Pru if it is you reading this when I am not around could you stop and pick me up some new shirts again? I think its only fair that you buy me some this time since you shredded the last ones.

[Prudence]

So since ya didn't do what I told ya to do last night, I'm gonna do what I said I would.

Hope ya love pink and purple, baby!

Oh and P.S. to whoever is snooping around in his journal:

I don't normally say **** like this, but if you're a woman, woman to woman, and cause I'm super nice, don't waste your time. This is one hostage I'm not letting go any time soon.

And if you're a dude, don't ya got better **** to do than be a nosey *****?

Day... Hell I don't even know anymore.

I see Pru did find my journal and decided to draw in it a bit. So maybe now I get new shirts. And it doesn't look like it was her reading it before. Oh well. There isn't anything secret in here anyway so I'm not much worried about it. I am glad that she is planning on keeping me. Since I wasn't going anywhere anyway.

Two of my new childer are already MIA. Maybe they will make an appearance soon. I do still have the one that hates me. Keeps me on my toes. Does nice paintings. Pisses her off when I take them. It does make her come to me. Soon she will get used to it.

Enough of the writing for today. I have my woman to go find and play with.

[Nathaniel]

Day ?

That was unexpected. In a good way.

[Prudence]

I'm sorry I messed up tonight. I really suck at this relationship thing. I'm really guarded because I'm afraid of getting hurt again. I've been hurt a lot and I want to tell ya about it.

In my early nights as a vampire, I met a guy named Brody. He was in the same 'family,' as me, but I don't really look at it like that way, ya know? He wasn't really my brother. We were supposed to get married, at The Necropolis, and he stood me up. I kinda saw it coming, but it didn't hurt any less when I was left standing in the Necropolis like an idiot in a wedding dress. I met Cliff that night. I knew him from Worthingtons and we started out as friends. He was really sweet back then and nice. And after a few months we started dating and one thing led to another and we ended up in Vegas getting married against the advisement of others. I'm a rebel, I always will be.

And things were really great at first. But he changed. He hated the city, hated so many people, so many things and was so focused on 'fixing' things that couldn't be fixed that it drove a wedge between us. He slept a lot, left the city a lot, or just went who the **** knows where a lot. And I waited for two years. And when he came back, he still wasn't the same. We couldn't be the same.

At some point during all this, I was abandoned by the only person I thought I could always count on. My sire. We became distant after he died. He wasn't the same. Not even close. He was a good guy and I wish I would have told him then that he was a great sire before he changed. But I didn't. I gave him a lot of **** because I wanted to protect the one thing I was used to having being hurt a lot. My heart.

But now I give that heart to you, baby. Every piece of it. I'm sorry I ruined tonight for you. It's not your fault, but mine. Ask me again. I love you.

[Nathaniel]

Who am I kidding. I wouldn't even know which day it is now.

Been a long while since I wrote in here. What can I say, I have been occupied with other things. My new wife is one of them. I haven't been this happy in a long time. I worry that my attitude or my lack of activity around the city will bother her and it might. I just hope it doesn't. I am really trying this time. If you are reading this Pru. You still owe me a few shirts or 30. I am really starting to run low.

[Prudence]

They're ruined because you're not supposed to be wearing them when you're with me. duuuuuuh. And only thirty? I thought by now it would be about fifty. I must be slacking.

And don't worry about a thing. I like staying curled up next to ya. It doesn't bother me at all to be a little lazy and spend the night with ya. Not one bit.

P.S. I'm kidnapping you for real soon.

Love ya, babe.
