Decisions and Fear

Now Andrew understood why she adopted a look of fear onto her face. He had heard about Daniel from Chase a while ago back on one of their other adventures together. When Chase pressed her lips on his again, he followed along, turning his head so that way Daniel would've have a shot at seeing her. It could be seen by the other patrons though, to their disgust.

When Chase pulled away from him, he tried thinking of a way that they could both sneak out of the three Broomsticks together. He had his power of invisibility, but he didn't know if that could extend to a second person as well. At that point, it was now or never. But before he could try anything to help them out, he felt her lips begin to touch his, feeling the passion that was trying to be delivered. Slowly, his thoughts began to drown themselves out, yet was still concerned about Chase. A moment later, someone shouted "Get a room you two!" Now Andrew had an idea. He pulled away slightly and shouted back "We're planning on that!" It was a pretty embarrassing thing to say, yet it would probably disgust Daniel into leaving.

He really hoped it worked.

Daniel continued to look at her, studying, watching yet he couldn't figure out who she was and why he regonized her. She was obviously way too far for him to see her. Suddenly the breeze of the wind blew in as somebody opened the door, washing the scent of her blood from her skin and filling the scent in the tip of his nostril. Then at that very moment, he knew who she was and his jaws dropped with shock and agony, his heart even though he didn't have one felt as if it had stopped. He turned around, his jaws still dropped to the bottom of his neck, he couldn't believe it. It was her, it was Chase. The very same girl he used to had fallen in love with, and had left him sitting at dinner by himself and never came back until this very moment. Daniel then started to walk towards them, he could feel his face heating as he rubbed his temple, softly and stood in front of them as he finally got there. "Chase?" he asked, looking at each of them one by one whilst holding back tears.

Chase's face got beat red when he shouted at the people who were looking disgusted. She could feel his gaze on her back, she knew she was in trouble, yet she couldn't do anything about it. Obviously when Andrew had shouted, it hadn't scared him away, it had made him come to them. Because the second they had gotten up, he was there in front of her. Chase took a small step back, her hand shooting out and grabbing Andrew's. "Da.. Daniel..." She stammered her eyes lowered.

A lot had gone on since she had left him. Granted she hadn't seen him in a long time, and suddenly.. here he was. Standing in front of her with a look that made her heart pang in her chest. She had simply left him, gone home to her parents, and then when her parents had died, she hadn't told him, and hadn't gotten in contact with him. To be honest, she was scared of him, and she was shaking like a leaf in front of him. "What.. what brings you.." She cleared her throat and tried to sound more confident. "What brings you to Hogsmeade?" She asked trying to stop her voice from shaking as badly as it was. "I mean.. I.. hi Daniel..." She said moving closer to Andrew and staring at her feet.

Now she felt suddenly aware of every part of her body. To the sweat beading on her forehead, to how horribly short this dress was. Her hand felt slippery in Andrew's gasp and she knew she had to be sweating like a pig. Facing a murderer was fine, demon's sure, her ex boyfriend.. not so much. Especially because of the way she had left him. And found the guy of her dreams. She couldn't even look him in the eye as she moved as close as she could to Andrew.

Andrew felt really awkward after Daniel had approached them. A multitude of swears began to erupt in his head, cursing himself for sounding like a complete idiot. Now he felt as if he could not head back to the quiest little pub anymore, yet knew it would happen some day. Andrew felt Chase's hand grip onto Andrew's hand, noticing that it was very sweaty and gripping tight. Now things felt like he had fallen into an awkward shop.

He stood there, gripping Chase's hand tight, trying to tell her not to worry. Yet how was he supposed to say anything? To Andrew, Daniels first impression of him had to be that they were...doing it. Well they were, but that's not something you should just shout out into the public, or to someone elses ex. "Hi," he said to the person standing in front of him who apprently was named Daneil "My name is Andrew Thompson...and well I'm Chase's...friend."

He probably should have said that they were going out in the first place, yet felt awkward standing between him and her. He knew that Chase wanted him there, and would stick with her, yet he also wished that he had not chosen to go to the Three Broomsticks. Getting a grip on himself, he quickly said "Well me and Chase are dating...I see that your name is Daniel, very nice to meet you!" He held out his free hand, offering for Daniel to shake it.

Daniel watched Chase carefully, watching her every move with his eyes, narrowing his eyes and frowned at her. She was sweating, shaking and moving away from him. He couldn't understand why she was acting like this, lots of question hit his head. Why was she scared of him, it was like she was afraid that he'd hit her or something. His lip curled with irritation, he didn't like this, no sire he did not like it at all. Then suddenly he looked at the boy that was holding her hands, who had just spoken to him, killing the awkward silence between them. He watched him, listening to both of them, he could feel the fear, the nervousness in the back of her voice. Then when the boy had finished, he saw his hand sticking out in front of him ready to shake hand. Daniel gave it a hard, long and cold stare and finally held out his cold, icy hands and started to shake his hand but pulled away quickly. "A pleasure to meet you too," he finally, spoke snarling softly at him showing his vampire fang at him. "How long have you too been dating?" he asked, curiously trying to keep his cool

Chase stared at the ground, at least Andrew was being nice, but she knew that Daniel saw everything. He could probably smell the fear in the air. Her fear, his fear.. she was shaking so badly that she was afraid she'd fall over. She kept her eyes on the ground, and when he asked how long they had been dating, she felt her blood turn to ice. Her eyes shot up and found Daniel's. "a few weeks.." She said, and felt like she was going to faint as she puffed up her chest. "After you disappeared.. I didn't know what to do.. I decided that.." She bit her lip but kept eye contact. "That you dated a different Chase Moor, can we take this somewhere else?" She asked suddenly.

Everyone in the entire room was staring at the group, and she tugged on Andrew's hand, and pulled him out of the building. She took the moment to wipe the sweat off her face, and was extremely grateful for the fresh air that hit her lungs. She felt like she had been suffocating in there. And now that a million people weren't watching, she slowed and looked around for the other two. She couldn't run away, she had to talk things out. She had to get him to understand that she didn't hate him, she was just scared of him, and he had left her on her own for so long, she couldn't live like that, she had even told Andrew that, and decided that she was single with Andrew. Andrew knew this, and she had never told Daniel, and now she felt like a player. Like she had been playing them both when she really loved Andrew.

She turned to Andrew and whispered frantically. "I'm so sorry, I didn't know he was going to turn up.. please, don't listen to a thing he says, whatever he says it wasn't me okay? I'm not the girl that dated him back then, I don't even remember the girl that dated him, but it wasn't me.." she said frantically before turning to look back towards Daniel, the sweat having replaced itself on her forehead and upper lip. "Where did you go Daniel?" She asked gripping Andrew's hand so tightly she was afraid he was going to lose circulation soon.

Andrew felt a large shiver go up his arm and to his brain, telling him that something was very wrong. He pulled his hand away quickly from him, feeling a sudden rage head throug his body. This guy obviously was mad about him going out with Chase, and he could sense it. He stared into the vampires eyes, disdain lurking in his vision. "Yes," he said to Chase, keeping his face locked onto Daniels "let's go."

He followed Chase out of the pub, feeling himself beging to calm down. He looked back at Chase's face and smiled, feeling his hopes begin to soar again. He kissed Chase quickly, yet tenderly on the lips while Daniel was still inside and whispered "I love you Chase, nothing will change that." He then turned around, ready to face the spectre that had made Chase fear again. Something didn't seem right, knowing that there was a chance that things could get ugly. He stuck his hands into his pockets quickly, slipping on his gauntlets, yet were invisible to the naked eye. He gripped onto Chase's hand, knowing very well that she could feel the metal of the gauntlet. "Don't worry," he whispered again "I'll only use them if I have to"

A few weeks...

Those sharp, piercing needle-like words that spat from her mouth, which planted a massive whole in the middle of his heart as if a bullet had went through them. Only metaphorically, of course. Daniel looked at the ground, he couldn't believe it was happening. It had to be a dream, it had to, he didn't want to believe what he was hearing now and so he started to pinch himself on the side of his legs, closing his eyes and hoping that he'd wake up and none of this had ever happen. Then he fluttered his eyes open again, but only to find he was still here in the middle of the Three Broomstick to what he thought might've been a dream but yet he still stood there standing in front of Chase and Andrew. The expression on his face looked as if he had stepped into the fiery, burning pit of hell which filled him up with the pain and agony.

I'm so sorry, I didn't know he was going to turn up.. please, don't listen to a thing he says, whatever he says it wasn't me okay? I'm not the girl that dated him back then, I don't even remember the girl that dated him, but it wasn't me...


He heard the lie touching the end of her lips as she walked Andrew out of the pub. Daniel jaws dropped, slightly with disbelief, he couldn't believe she just said that. It felt almost like she wanted to kick him out of her life, even after everything that they had been through together. He looked away for a moment, listening to their converstation whilst he took his time to gather everything into his head, considering the right words to say to her. Then, when he turned his head around towards the door to face them, with his words set and ready in his head, mentally. But only to find that they had dissapeared before he could make his speech. He sworn tha the had heard them right there a second ago.

He frowned, slightly and to his dismay, he could smell the trail of their blood in this room. They smelt so good, so good that even after he smelt their blood it caused his throat to dry out as he thirst for their blood. The blood was still warm and felt so close, he knew that they were there. "So, thats it?" he yelled out to them, making a complete fool of him self but he didn't care as long as it was enough for her to stop and listen to him.

[OOC: You kill me!! My heart is crying right now!! I'm almost crying as a matter of fact v.v oh and he was meant to follow them.. I don't think I made that clear enough XD]

Chase was startled when she heard his voice behind her. He sounded so angry, so... torn. Chase could feel her whole body tense as she slowly turned to face him. She didn't know what she would say to him, she didn't know what she could do to make things right now... she hated being torn between people like this. Andrew.. who she loved and trusted, and Daniel, who looked so completely miserable without her.

Chase could barely remember anything about Daniel. Besides that night he had come to her room, snuck in through the window because he had to see her again. Besides that, all of her memories were fuzzy and it seemed like she had watched it on the television or something. Because that wasn't her life. Her life consisted of Andrew, Jack, and Vito. Some of them her friends, others her enemies, and now she had this unexpected twist thrown in. Daniel.

Chase squeezed Andrew's hand harder and looked at Daniel tears sparkling in her eyes. "What else is there Danny?" She cried feeling her body start to shake again. She then slowly let go of Andrew's hand and walked towards Daniel. "What else can there possibly be between us? I lost my memory of that entire year! I don't know anything about you, or.. or.. how I felt about it, all I remember is you appearing in my life at one of the most confusing times for me, telling me you're a vampire and sneaking into my room!" She said trembling from head to foot.

"So what else can there be? I don't even remember you! I'm sorry, I don't.. I can't.." She spun around and went back to Andrew, burying her face in his chest, unable to look at Danny anymore. She knew it would hurt him, but better tear herself out of his life all at once, instead of slowly and painfully. Which she knew that it might become anyway. She was crying softly against Andrew's chest, for a couple of different reasons. One, she hated seeing Daniel in pain, she hated seeing anyone in pain, even though she had had a lot of pain in her life, it was nothing compared to what Daniel must be feeling right then. Two, she was scared so badly, she was afraid that because she had angered him.. the next person to corner her down a dark alley would be him. And she didn't want to be a vampire.. she didn't want to! She loved her life to much to change it so drastically.

Chase slowly looked up from Andrew's chest into his face, she had attempted to stem the flow of tears, just for him, because she didn't want him to see her this weak. She didn't want to hurt anybody, but she knew that no matter what happened, she would stay with Andrew, it just wasn't fair that Daniel had stepped back into her life, almost as quickly as he had disappeared. And a lot more quickly then he had first appeared. "I haven't even seen him since we started to date.. in fact, I hadn't seen him a while before we started to date.. remember Andrew.. I talked to you about it.." She whispered.

One reason Chase was so completely and totally scared was her thoughts if they were both yanked out of her life. If Andrew thought she had been cheating on him... she felt a small sob escape her just at that thought. She couldn't lose Andrew.. he was the best thing that had ever entered her life, if he believed that she had been with Daniel the entire time... Chase felt as though she wouldn't be able to stand if he left her. She would go into a spiral that she knew she couldn't come out of.

Andrew jumped when he heard the vampire scream at them. At first, he thought that things were going to just be at it's climax and slowly go down, like some book or movie that was made to entertain. Apprently, this wasn't one of those films, and things were not going to turn out alright for the moment. As Chase clung onto him, he pulled her closer, trying to stop her from crying. He looked back at Daniel, hatred in his eyes, and said "Daniel, what the hell is the matter with you?! Do you like to see her hurt!?" Anger boiled in him, swarming his brain and taking over some control. He didn't want to see Chase hurt and crying into his chest because of that vampire.

Andrew placed his hand on the back of her head, almost petting her in a way, yet was trying to calm her down. He had known she had lost her memory, but no one had tried to help her. No one had tried to console her into not doing it. If they had, she probably wouldn't have done it in the first place. Now that Daniel was back in the picture, what would happen now? He didn't question their relationship, yet merely question on what steps might be taken afterwords. God knows what a berserk vampire could do.

Andrew held onto Chase, as if clinging onto the one thing he possessed in all of his life. She was perhaps the greatest thing to have happened to him, and wasn't going to let some runaway vampire ruin it. "Daniel," he said in a harsh tone, not caring for the vampires feelings "if your that hurt, why don't you just find another person?! You're obviously scaring her and I won't stand for it!" Now Andrew had another thought in his mind. He didn't know how vampires worked, didn't really even care for that matter, yet he knew they were basically supermen. If he had to fight, how would he put up with some 17 year old gorilla?!
