Path of the Vampire forum

--The following transcript was a live chat roleplay--
Sara cox: *text* I.. I need to talk to you, I don't know where else to go and.. Please. I'll be at the abandoned warehouse in Bullwood
Jonah: Jonah reads the text and sprints there immediately without even bothering to respond. Opening the door and peering in, he looks for any sign of Sara.
Sara cox: Sara was pacing the empty room, visibly shaking and on the edge of what looked like another breakdown, her eyes red from crying
Jonah:: Seeing her pacing and not paying attention, he moved slowly towards her and tapped out a message on the phone, *I'm here, what's wrong*
Sara cox: The phone vibration made her jump but the message caused a calm. She turned round, looking for him before gulping and texting out -my ex.. A Paladin.. Knows what I am, she's threatened to blow my brains out, she knows where I live..-
Jonah:: He frowned and absentmindedly clenched his fist, "Willing to help but," the pause hung in the air as he tried to figure out how best to phrase it, "how far are you willing to go?"
Sara cox: Sara saw his fist then shook her head -i can't hurt her! I still lov- she stopped and deleted that bit before typing again -I just don't want her hurt, please.-
Jonah:: He nodded, "Makes it more difficult but we can do it. How did she find out?"
Sara cox: She looked at the floor and shifted uncomfortably -i.. I told her. I couldn't lie! She'd know anyway..-
Jonah:: "How would she know?"
Sara cox: -shes a Paladin.. She told me they can tell these things?-
Jonah:: He sighed and pinched his brow, "No...I mean, I'm sure that they could figure it out eventually, but they don't just know."
Sara cox: -she used to be my girlfriend, I think she'd notice..- sara bit her lip and almost broke into tears again
Jonah:: He wanted to tell her that she wouldn't just know where she was staying, that she didn't have to just tell them but he stopped when she started crying. He tentatively reached for her to get her to look at him, "It's going to be ok. We'll keep you safe."
Sara cox: Sara rarely stayed in the Asylum, she had her own apartment that was currently being cleaned and made habitable again. The touch made her flinch but his lips made words that brought a very faint smile to the woman -im sorry.. I didn't know who else to text. Keara would just kill her..-
Jonah:: "You didn't have to answer." He paused before adding, "And if she's a paladin, I don't think Keara could."
Sara cox: Sara froze, mostly out of fear now. Keara couldn't kill something? That didn't bode well for the fledge then -she.. She can't? Why?-
Jonah:: "Paladin's are supposedly immortal."
Sara cox: -how.. They're human..-
Jonah:: He shakes his head, "Not exactly."
Sara cox: Sara frowned -you mean they're not human?-
Jonah:: "Depends on what you define as human."
Sara cox: Sara was just getting confused now -i don't think I'll ever understand.. Just.. Should I hide? She hates your kind so much.. I don't wanna die-
Jonah:: "You should hide and you should be willing to defend yourself. You don't have to kill her but you don't have to let her hurt you either."
Sara cox: -i.. I can't hurt her.. I get upset just yelling at her..-
Jonah:: "Then hide, but don't expect her to not be able to hurt you. If she's a paladin, she's changed just as much as you have."
Sara cox: Sara shook her head -if I hide and she hurts me.. What then?-
Jonah:: "Try to hide better? If you're not...able to defend yourself, there's not much else you can do."
Sara cox: -i don't.. I don't know where to hide.. There's a lot of places I can't go anymore! Like some invisible wall..-
Jonah:: "I may have a place, but you'll have to give me some time to prepare and you'll have to trust me and understand you or her or whoever she tries to bring might get hurt."
Sara cox: -i don't understand-
Jonah:: "I have a cell in the Asylum, I can open it up to you so you can go in. I have...traps hidden in different parts. If someone tries to come in and doesn't know where to go..." he trails off, letting her come to her own conclusions.
Sara cox: -so if I go there.. I'll get blown up?-
Jonah:: "I'll move some things around for you and show you where is safe. It won't kill you...or her, but it'll make them think twice."
Sara cox: -i don't want to hurt her! She.. She thinks I'm a monster-
Jonah:: "She wants to hurt you for no reason, she's the monster."
Sara cox: -im a vampire.. That's reason enough to her...-
Jonah:: "You're Sara."
Sara cox: -she hates me.. She's not a monster.. She's just scared, I'm scared!-
Jonah:: He sighs, "I'll remove the traps and you can stay in my cell and I'll guard the door."

Sara cox: -so she can get you too.. Hate to point it out but you don't look human.. She'd spot you a mile away. Keara would hate me if I got her family hurt.. She already gets mad at me because I can't eat or use my powers properly.-
Jonah:: "I'm tougher than I look and haven't been caught yet. And Keara wouldn't blame me for trying to keep you safe."
He looked at her strangely when her last statement clicked, "You haven't been feeding?"
Sara cox: Sara knew she'd be in trouble now so tried to skirt the subject entirely -how have you not been caught?-
Jonah:: He smiled slightly and pulled the hood over his head which put most of his features in shadows, "People don't see things they don't want to see, you didn't answer the question though."
Sara cox: -Keara knows I have trouble feeding on people.. Ronnie is just proving I'm right by trying to kill me for it.-
Jonah:: "There are other options, you don't have to feed on people."
Sara cox: -i can't afford to pay the store so much money everyday.-
Jonah:: "I can help for now if you're willing, and there's other options besides that."
Sara cox: -what options? Keara only told me of two..-
Jonah:: "Have you been to the hunting grounds or the farm?"
Sara cox: Sara nods slowly -i hunted bears..-
Jonah:: "Have you seen the rabbits?"
Sara cox: Her eyes widened and she shook her head -no! No way, that's gross-
Jonah:: "Well, there's chickens at the farm as well..."
Sara cox: -but they're raw.. That's not even sanitary-
Jonah:: "Did you ever eat sushi? And at least it's not a person..."
Sara cox: -no I didn't.. I don't like fish..-
Jonah:: "Well, it's an option...and like I said, I'll help you with bloodpacks if you need it. Or I can heal."
Sara cox: Sara shook her head slightly -you shouldn't have to pay for me, thanks though, the offer is very sweet of you.-
Jonah:: He rolled his eyes. "People helped me, I'll help you."
He pulled his phone out of his pocket and tapped on a few numbers, "There, 10k transferred."
Sara cox: She sighed softly then smiled -then tha- she had to stop texting as her phone buzzed, informing her of the transfer. She frowned at him -thats a lot of money, are you sure you typed it in right? I think you sent too much-
Jonah:: He checked his account balance real quick, "Nope, that's right. You should have enough to buy packs for awhile and maybe get a few things for yourself."
Sara cox: Sara could only stare at her phone, she shook her head and gently rubbed at her neck -thank you.- was pretty much all she could manage, unsure of what else to say, or even do.
Jonah:: "Promise you'll tell me if you need more or need heals or anything else and we're square."
Sara cox: -what do you mean, square?-
Jonah:: "Even, it's an expression."
Sara cox: -oh.. I don't see how saying if I need more money makes us even.. Your kind are very confusing-
Jonah:: He crouched down so that his eyes were closer to her level. "It has nothing to do with kind. You're family and I take care of family. Always have."
Sara cox: -you're the second person to tell me that.. Who isn't Keara. And believe me its very kind but ten grand? That's a lot to share with someone who's still so new.. I'm not complaining! God no.. I'm just saying.. That's all-
Jonah:: "I've been here awhile and have funds built up. I can teach you when you're ready."
Sara cox: -teach me what?-
Jonah:: "Ways to make money"
Sara cox: -Keara's already hired me.. She let's me clean up and do the window decorations in her shop.-
Jonah:: "That's a good start but there's more you can do as well, if you're interested. And poke your head in the backroom sometime. I try and spend a little time each day there making some of the knick knacks she sells."
Sara cox: Sara's eyes widened and she shook her head -oh no I don't wear what she sells! I just think its pretty-
Jonah:: He cants his head to the side, "I meant I work there too."
Sara cox: -oh.. Then I'll try and visit you when we aren't too busy-
Jonah:: He nods, "Want me to get you set up in my apartment?"
Sara cox: She shook her head -thanks but no thanks, Keara's letting me use the guest room.. I feel safer knowing she's directly above me if I need her-
Jonah:: "If you need it, I'll open it up for you. And I'll even disarm all the bombs."
Sara cox: She nods a little and offers a faint smile -thanks.-
Jonah:: Standing back up, "Feel better? Anything else I can help with?"
Sara cox: Sara nods again -a little better. I think I'm ok for now thanks.. I have some stuff to give to Keara, she asked for oil, I found a few barrels of it.-
Jonah:: "I'll let you go then. Stay safe in the darkness."
