Spring Fever (Open)

[Mortll]

It was rare occasion that Mortll awoke early. She always seemed to stir just at twilight just as the last rays of the sun were fading away and the sky was darkening. Today for some reason she awoke a full 2 hours before the night sky. She could tell it was still daylight even if she could not see it. Her limbs were sluggish and she found it difficult to move She gazed at the clock rubbing her eyes she sat up, the thought of seeing the sunset swimming from the deep dark murky areas of her mind to the surface.



She donned a long coat and large brimmed floppy hat a large pair of sunglasses that would give Jackie O a run for her money and a pair of gloves. The days had been getting a bit warmer but winter was still rearing its nasty head despite springs insistence that it was going to come. This was not because of the cold however. The garb she had put on was her answer to the suns rays making her look like a smoldering cinder Even her daywalker powers did not totally prevent her from becoming crispy.



She found her way out to the balcony the sun was bright and the sky was a vivid blue. It was warm for a change and a brisk breeze blew at the brim of her hat and kissed her skin. It felt good she inhaled deeply and found herself a comfortable lounge chair. The balcony provided enough shade for her to remain comfortable. There were large Thunderheads rolling in from the south. Their large fluffy peaks bright against the blue sky and their ominous dark bottoms bringing the threat of rain.



Mortll could see a sea of bright yellows and greens everywhere the trees had finally declared that it was spring and they were coming out of their winters shell. There were bright bits of early flowers everywhere and bees buzzed about. A Humming bird buzzed by her ear on its way to find the blooms near by just to have another swoop in the pair noisily dive bombing each other trying to protect their territory. There were bright patches of early flowering blooming trees dotting the landscape.



Mortll took it all in This is what she missed about being human. This was the only thing she missed about being human except maybe a double cheese burger with a Root beer float. She loved spring It was part of the reason she had taken to growing her roses here and how it had grown from just a hobby into a full blown business. Her life was so different in many ways than she ever could have dreamed. Her mind went to Rio and she could see Doc there, he was barefoot in the sand breeze blowing his hair he had a loose shirt on it was open he had just put it on after coming out of the water his black swim shorts framing his dancers build perfectly.



Mortll sighed audibly she wished he was there with her watching this. He was probably off sorting things at Winterbrook, Genesis Labs or a dozen other possibility's crossed her mind, the man stayed just as busy as she did. Him being in her life was the biggest surprise. She had pretty much decided that any romantic affiliations were just a dream for her. Face it Doc had been the furthest from her mind as to someone she would be entangled with. He was contrary, obstinate, pig headed, opinionated, and very vocal of all of the above. Not to mention he had helped kill her before yet here she was totally infatuated with the man. They were so different on so many levels yet they had oddly found a lot of common ground.



She smiled as she thought of him. Things had seemed to have fallen into place in their relationship... She wasn't out to trap him into anything he did not want to do and he respected her wishes to know where things stood and be honest with her. She couldn't think of anything else that would make this view better than to have him enjoying it also. She could hear the low roll of thunder as the clouds moved in closer threatening to block out the brilliant blue. The sun was hidden behind them the white turning red and orange and deep purples as the sun started to descend. The blue slowly started to darken as the sun dipped lower and lower beneath the horizon.



Mortll could now see lightening flashes in the darker clouds to the south west and the rumbling of thunder grew louder it was going to be one hell of a show she thought to herself. Suddenly she realized that she was ravenous being out in the daylight hours drained her body as much as it invigorated her senses. She could smell rain off in the distance. She headed inside as the last bits of light faded from the ominous night sky it was time to feed and she was the hunter ... Have mercy on her Prey
