Antsy seems to be good for fic. ^___^ We'll see how long that lasts. >_>

More BFB. Just a bit of boring conversation, really. ^__~






BFB – Part 102 – Good Vamp Hunting


Ctik was awake and waiting for us when we reached the storage room. He looked a lot better than he had the night before; the safe resting place must have done him good.

Heero apologized for being late but Ctik waved it off. “I am something of an ‘early riser’,” he explained. “I tend to wake before the sun is completely gone.”

Heero regarded him with a single raised eyebrow. “I do not remember this of you.”

Ctik looked a little embarrassed. “It’s probably my one advantage over other vampires; I don’t talk about it much.”

“You surprise me, Ctik; you are not a total idiot.”

“Um… I did make an effort to be more in the moment after our last talk,” said the vampire.

“Too bad you didn’t make a similar effort towards Miles.”

Ctik sighed and stepped out into the corridor. “I assumed… well, I assumed that seeing you deal with Theodore would be all the warning he needed. I was wrong.”

Heero just shook his head and we all headed for the stairs.

“Were you able to do anything with Miles?” he asked, almost as an afterthought.

Heero smirked. “The house, I’m afraid, is gone, but I have most of the proceeds from the sale for you. We will get into this in detail after we set up some accounts for you.”

“Banks are open at night now?”

“Master Gorgsch from Gringott’s is meeting us. Do you need to feed first?”

“I am good for now… Is there a blood bank in town? I really was serious about cutting down…”

I stopped walking and stared at him. “You seriously don’t drink blood from people?”

He ducked his head a bit. “Well… not much. And only a little bit from people who volunteer,” he said quickly with a sidelong look at Heero.

Heero snorted and herded us along. “I will not deny you your nature, as long as no one gets dead or changed from it.”

Ctik laughed out loud. “Oh, Heero! You know I am not powerful enough to change anyone! I haven’t the… the… ego for it!” he laughed. “And I am fairly sure that no one has ever died from my bite.”

“You’re right,” said Heero. “I checked. No deaths in your file. Not even from the beginning.”

No kidding. BANL is kicking my ass something aweful. I've got all kinds of ideas but fitting them together into something more than a bunch of snippets is driving me crazy. *whine*

Sometimes I work better when I'm not stressed; sometimes I need the stress to get me going. >_> And sometimes... the hamsters just refuse to work at all. Tons of ideas; just gotta wait for them to resolve into smething coherent. ^_____^

And I feel pressured on this one from the start. I didn't plan on a sequel to TPTP but I let people talk me into it. Now I'm really struggling with it.

Ah yes... The dreaded audience-forced sequel. O_O A fic either has a sequel in it, or it hasn't. ^___^ Good luck with that; maybe you'll overcome the jinx. *stuffs a cranky and obnoxious hamster through your mail slot*

^___^

If nothing else, he'll mock whatever annoys you. I find that relaxing. ^___^
