Snippet #869981

Vincent's amethyst eyes were glued to Elise as she spoke. He tuned out the chatter of the lunch room and focused, simply out of habit. Curiosity boiled as Vincent yearned to probe further, but resisted the need to ask questions. Instead, he played the good listener and waited until she was finished. The story had been deeper than expected, but there was no harm done and it seemed rather interesting.

"What about you? How did you end up in this sorry excuse for a school?"
A sudden flashback of the massacre on his front lawn plagued his mind. The countless amount of strewn bodies painted a grim image in his head, while the smell of blood filled his nostrils. Vincent almost scoffed at the question, but figured it a show of manners to respond after his own question had been answered so fully.

"Well, all my life I've been around normal humans by choice. Not because I see them as delicacies, but more so because I'm overly interested in how they act. I once got caught playing with some kids in a schoolyard by a vampire hunter. He followed me home, and his companions figured it sensible to approach the estate that was home to many a royal vampire. I'm sure you can put two and two together and assume what happened next. After all was said and done, I was basically shipped here to prevent further complications. The whole protection ordeal I was lectured on was pointless because I can defend myself quite well, but I figured I'd use it as a chance to be around the people I like. Most vampire families are too stuck up for my liking." Vincent adjusted himself a moment before continuing.

"So far you've been the only friend, if you don't mind me calling you that, I've made. And to be honest, I've already become quite attached to the aggression that always seems to be pouring from you. You seemed like the most interesting person here, so I purposely antagonized you." Vincent smirked slightly, unknowingly revealing the fang in the corner of it. "If you'd like, I'll try to leave you alone after this lunch date, but I can't guarantee anything."
