Chapter 2 ~ Awakening

Really short post, only 15 screens, but hopefully it's enough to satisfy a bit. Really just a bridge to the next post. Most likely I will be doing shorter posts from her on due to time constraints etc.
Uhm... Let's see, language, nothing to terrible just language and an awakening 80). Enjoy!!

The night was fucked, plain and simple. Carter had taken the lower rooms and the damned lupusnox had taken the spare bedroom leaving him with Lydie’s room. Her scent had surrounded him making it impossible to sleep especially when he was now up in the air towards her.
After hours of tossing and turning he had finally given up on getting any rest, headed for a long hot shower, stood in the steaming hot water until it turned cold. “Damnation…” he growled wrapping a towel about his waist as he stepped out of the shower.
To think I was ready to love her… problem was he wasn’t entirely sure that he could stop it now that his heart was involved, frustrated he stormed from the bathroom.
Turning towards the window he saw the magenta and pink glow that stretched it’s fingers deep into the purple of the sky, the sun was rising. This house had been built with specially treated UV reflecting glass so that Carter could spend all his time in the presence of Trysten. A plus for Jayden, considering the moment the suns rays touched him, he’d be turned to ash.
Enthralled he made his way towards the door, incapable of taking his eyes off the majestic dawn of a new day he watched as the sun slowly rise over the horizon. Wishing he could stand out in the chilled morning air and hear the tinkling sound of breaking glass that sounded the moment the flaming ball shot forth into the sky.
A vision that he’d once been incapable of missing, his favorite time of the day but this time it filled him with sorrow, for it was a magical moment and he found himself wishing that Lydie were there to witness his first sunrise in over seven hundred years. Realized that he wanted to feel the warmth of her body against his, hold her in his arms and tell her he loved her.

Hell, it wasn’t her fault that the gods had chosen her for him, just as it wasn’t his fault that Carter had taken from him Alaine. Sure he’d loved the beautiful kind soul, but there was just something about Lydie that drew him unlike any other.

What was it? Her innocence, her fire?... Shaking his head he dismissed both, not even he could put his finger on it, all he knew is from the moment he’d first met her at that night club she’d entranced him, filled him with a golden warmth. Still he’d fought it and now he couldn’t help but feel that if he had just given her what she wanted he would still be happy in his own particular innocence.

“I’d hoped you’d be awake,” Carter’s misery filled voice cut through his thoughts the moment the sun shot forward bathing the outside and the room in a golden glow, the sound of his once dear friends voice coursing a shudder of disgust through him.
Carter was the last person he cared to see, the last in which he wanted to spend this magical moment in the presence of, “I don’t care to speak with you Carter,” he snarled through clenched teeth, not bothering to face the elder.
“I know I have wounded you, I only hope that your broken trust in me doesn’t affect what emotions you have developed for Lydie.”
Spinning on his heel he glared into the mans face, acidic heat filling his stomach, each passing second causing the sensation to grow larger until thunderbolts seemed to shoot through his entire being. “I assure you Carter,” his tone was filled with venom and the angry mass was steadily building until its pressure began to spin out of control.
Clenching his fists at his side he turned his eyes away, worried at just what this new power was and what it would end up doing. “You have done far worse than break my trust, you have deceived me to an unforgivable point.” He had to clench his eyes closed as his body trembled with a foreign need for release. Release of what Jayden wasn’t sure he wanted to know, but whatever it was he had the sick feeling that it wasn’t going to be good.
“Jay…”
Lights flickered behind his closed lids, little sparks of multiple hues, suddenly they flew open and before he could stop himself he’d locked onto the elder, horror engulfing him as Carter flew backwards and slammed against the door.
“I told you I don’t wish to talk to you…” He snarled his own voice taking on an omnipotent rumble that vibrated the air in an unearthly manner. Frightened he stepped back his hands quacking as the energy built again, “Get out now Carter…” he growled in fear and frustration, his voice wavering slightly as voices filled his thoughts. Voices that he recognized despite their odd language, one in particular awakening his senses, the voice of his mother...
