Spin me right round baby

[Seamus McAllister]

Seamus smiled and kissed the top of Night's head as she rested it on his shoulder and purred slightly and quietly before saying, "If you keep this up, Night, you're going to have a very excited werecat to deal with." He raised his date's hand to his lips and kissed it gently. "And I hope she can help too. I've not been able to tell anyone about us out of paranoia so telling the Priestess should get a bit of weight off of my chest." Shay untangled his fingers from Night's grasp and draped his arm over her shoulder before leaning in closer to her.

"I have no idea, if I am totally honest. All I remember is that it involves Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones killing aliens in swanky suits with laser guns." He grinned sarcastically at her as he said it to try and keep up the appearance that he was having fun when in fact the inner turmoil of thinking about his parents for the first time in a while was still having a sparring match with his emotions, although a measure of worry was mixed in as well from the fear that Night might be able to detect it through their Imprint, like when he had heard her thoughts about his suggestion earlier.

[Night Tenjo]

Night could feel a serious uneasy vibe from Shay and nuzzled her head into his neck hoping to draw him away from such unease. "That's cool.'" She quietly laughed and smiled at how her sexy and slightly excited werecat explained the basic plot. "Swanky huh?" She giggled at the word. She watched somewhat more interested and amused now about the movie as the opening credits started. Her breathing was calm as the childish acts went on around them. Popcorn was thrown left and right but luckily didn't strike them... yet. And she just ignored all the rest as it seemed people started settling down to actually watch the movie instead of distract others from it.

Hmmm, this is nice. She thought pressing her silk like streaked hair under Shay's ear with her head fitting just right on his shoulder. Wonder what he has planned after this or if he doesn't if I should plan something. Night grinned inwardly thinking about maybe inviting Shay over for dinner. Then i could figure out what he likes to eat, and maybe get him to try new thing. She thought happily as the movie continued.

[Seamus McAllister]

Seamus grinned, not knowing whether or not Night had forgotten about the whole thought reading thing and said, "Dinner sounds nice. If I want to be honest, I don't really like the idea of going out on dates. I will go out on them, but I'd rather just lie on a sofa with a girl and just stay there for a while." He rubbed her arm, enjoying the fact that she seemed to be trying to divert his attention away from his own worries. Shay said to his date, "Listen, what to do you say to the two of us heading back to yours after this? I just don't want this date to feel like it can only be successful if it ends with some fancy dinner."

That was yet another step in which he tried to distance himself from the more uptight girls he'd asked out. They'd always expected first dates to be all-singing, all-dancing events that had to involve extortionate amounts of money for the girl to even begin to take notice. Shay pulled Night closer to try get his point across more clearly then continued. "So, what would you say to that?"

[Night Tenjo]

Night was quiet, listening to the smooth and soft sound of Shay's voice as he spoke. The imprint was strong though it hadn't exisisted for very long. He could feel her feelings and read or at the very least understand her thoughts at this close range. Sitting side by side in their own little world in the two seats they occupied in the movie theater. "Sounds perfect." She whispered peacefully as she situated herself comfortably with Shay. Fitting so nicely together with the black leopard werecat. Night wouldn't mind having him around her always. A pet and lover. A friend and protector.

She felt the pain in her heart lighten a bit thinking about how lonely she'd been for so long. How broken she'd felt for the past several years. And how terrible if felt to have forgotten how to open up and allow someone in. Night didn't ever want to be hurt again. She never wanted to lose someone no matter how. Night never wanted to relive that night. That time 14 years ago. Her father, Yukito's family home in Japan. A peaceful and gentle place where she grew up every other year. She hadn't been to that home in the 14 years after that happened. After they so brutally died in front of her. After she was blamed for it and the real monster. The real murderer behind it got away. Night never wanted anyone to be close to her ever again but right now.

Now felt perfect. She couldn't think about anything else at the moment that didn't involve being close to the man right next to her. "My place is perfect." She whispered.

[Seamus McAllister]

Seamus smiled as Night whispered to him, aware of blissful she felt and also what had just happened to his date emotionally through their Imprint. As he was sitting there, enjoying this moment almost as much as Night was, Shay realised something. Since he had arrived at the House, he hadn't found the Vampyre he was meant to protect. Sure, he had a relationship with Night, and he felt protective of her, but the way Zain had described the whole thing was completely different to what he felt with her, but it may vary from person to person. Still, it would be very awkward if he did find the person he was meant to protect and it turned out that whoever it was got in the way of Night and him.

Pushing the thoughts about being someone's protector that weren't Night aside for the moment, the young werecat Fledgling held Night's hand and started rubbing it absent mindedly whilst saying, "This will be the first time I've been round to your place, won't it? Should be nice to see it." He smiled. "Well, I guess it would be better if I go to your place anyway. Not many people people know I'm out of the school, let alone on a date. Hell, even fewer people know about the two of us going out."

He leaned closer to his date before saying, "So, you got anything in mind that might be nice for dinner?"

[Night Tenjo]

"Well I prefer eating at home and making taking out than eating out or ordering take out." Night whispered as the movie played with all the alien verse secret agent action. The streak haired girl cuddled her head on Shay's shoulder as the held hands and watced the show.

Night could purr even if she wasn't a cat. She was happy and comfortable. But thinking about cats Night realized this would be the first time she would hbe bringing a guy over to her house and Thackery usually didn't like guys other than Alex. Even Alex had a hard time at first with the black cat but they quickly got to he fast friends.

What to make tonight? Shay's a scott, doesn't actually care for beer and is very affectionate... well wonder what he likes... steak? Fish? Chicken? Haggus?. Night wondered with less than a third of her attention on the sceen and the rest divided between Shay's presence and dinner for the night. "What kind of food do you like?" She asked trying not to ruin the movie by being rude.

[Seamus McAllister]

"I'll try anything, really. Always liked to try new things, so I don't see why I should stop with that now." Seamus said as he grinned and pulled Night as close as he could without digging her ribs into the arm rest between their two seats. The two of them sat and watched the movie for a short while until a particular scene involving one of the characters occurred. Shay shifted around uncomfortably in his seat, the memories of his own similar near-death experience coming back to him. All of a sudden, he felt himself start shaking uncontrollably and started breathing heavily at the same time as every single dreadfully detailed memory of the entire ordeal started appearing in his mind's eye.

Reluctantly, the werecat Fledgling let go of his date's hand and whispered into her ear, "I'll be right back, all right? Just need a little air." With that, he stood up and made his quietly out of the theatre and onto the pier. Once outside, Shay took a deep breath to try and calm his nerves and rubbed his eyes to try and get the memories of his near-death out of his current train of thought. He sighed, realising that, more probably than not, Night was going to start worrying about him. And ask him about why he left the movie. Then he would have to explain what had happened when he was two years-old. Yikes, he thought to himself, I never knew I had such a negative prediction of things.

[Night Tenjo]

Night smiled gently as he pulled her closer before suddenly needing to leave. It was only natural that she'd become worried but it was also natural for her logical mind to step in and stop her from following. On one hand Shay just left and could need assisstance... but on the other he could just need a moment alone.. She thought before another series of thoughts came to mind adding a new level of complexities to her mental processing. What if he wants me to worry or feels bad and uncared for if I don't go check on him?. Night heaved a huge sigh in the loud theater as she tried pushing aside the torturing thoughts and mental debates over what to do in this situation she had never been in before. She watched the screen hoping for the best and that Shay would return soon. Surely he's not running out on me right? I mean this was his idea and he seems to really fancy me.... She thought starting to feel more and more pessimistic and worried not just about Shay but what or why he had left in the first place. She was starting to feel dizzy and sick as her head spun with a million and one thoughts running through before she felt a hand rest on her shoulder and heard her name.

[Seamus McAllister]

The same memories, playing over and over again in his head like a broken tape player. The endless tumbling and spinning as the waves crashed into the shore, making sure that he lost his bearings every few seconds. The endless grey depths that filled his vision and stung his eyes with their salt. The roaring that filled his head with it's deafening noise, not letting him hear the splashes as someone came nearer to him and carried him spluttering, crying and shivering into the light of day.

Seamus was broken out of his reverie by the delighted scream of a young girl nearby. She had obviously won something on one of the many stands that lined the pier and started yelling in excitement about it. The young werecat Fledgling sighed, rubbing his eyes to clear his mind of the last dregs of the memories that haunted him for 15 years and thanked Nyx mentally that Night hadn't followed him outside of the theatre. His view on this whole thing was that they were his memories, his problems. If Night asked him about it, Shay would tell her, though.

After another minute or so of standing there, Seamus moved back into the theatre which he had been in with his date. He looked up to where the two of them had been sitting to see someone standing behind her and thought to himself, What in the hell...? Before starting up to where they were.

[Maria Delacur]

Maria walked toward the pier after arriving at the Chicago airport a day earlier. She wasn't sure what to expect as she wondered along the wooden dock. "I hope she hasn't gotten into trouble. I should have came sooner to visit." The vampyre said to herself as she looked at all of the attractions, games, and the various couples. The lights shining and flashy noises. "Night." She whispered sighing again before a boy bumped into her as he seemed in a hurry to get somewhere with a bouquet of flowers in hand. "Rude Americans." She said slowly following the boy hoping to teach him a lesson in manners or kick his ass trying.

When she got closer to the boy, almost approaching before she noticed a girl on a bench where the boy seemed to be apologizing for tardiness. She realized who the girl is. "Night..." She whispered to herself as she took a step back to watch. The boy and her niece began walking around and headed toward a theater. But the only thing more surprising that seeing Night with a boy was to see her smiling and laughing and... blushing around him.

Maria followed into the theater and bought a ticket but lost sight of them for a moment. Checking each theater for them. She finally walked into a Men in Black 3 theater and noticed the boy walk out past her. She knew Night had to be in there now. She made her way around looking for her beloved niece. She saw Night going dizzy and placed a hand on her shoulder. "Night?"

I know we wanted a jealousy filled fight but Austin takes too long to post so here... a fight with a military officer vamp.

[Seamus McAllister]

Seamus, still slightly confused, finally arrived back where he had been sitting previously to find a woman standing behind Night with her hand on his date's shoulder. Cautiously, he asked, "Umm, hey Night, but... uhh... I'm sorry, but did I miss something important when I was out of the room?" Behind him, the film had finished a few minutes ago and was currently in the middle of the end credits, with everyone in the theatre filing out or outside already.

As he tried to work out what exactly was going on with who the newcomer was, Shay noticed a few things. He noticed that both women shared a few features in terms of appearance, but they differed in rather a few more ways than they were similar, so he could only conclude that the two of them were family. That would mean that... Oh boy...

Night, I'm guessing that the rather dangerous looking woman in front of me is your aunt, and judging by the look on her face she isn't very happy to see me. Please, it would be nice to know if I've anything wrong at all so I still have a head at the end of tonight.

[Night Tenjo]

"Ria, why are you here???" Night asked shocked at seeing her aunt here. "You'd never come to America if it wasn't important." She said still dizzy for some reason. Why am i still dizzy? And yes she is my aunt Shay but i don't know why she's here... its a long way from France and I have no idea why she'd come here of all places. She hates Americans and all their selfish materialistic tendencies. Night's head rolled around on her shoulders like a bobble head going in circles. As soon as the lights in the theater dimmed up here sight went completely blurred and black before she fell in the aisle.

She hadn't seen her aunt or any real family in several years. Night ran off after they died. And when she found out Alli and Alex were leaving for America for a new future and life she ran off so she wouldn't lose the only friends she'd ever had. She had been living with her aunt and she ran off after she refused to let her go with her friends. Night had ran off and got her own place in Chicago long ago and then when things had gotten rough she would find a new place but she eventually came back and being here was proof she came back.

[Maria Delacur]

Maria could only watch and try to catch her as she fell. Night was her most precious niece and only niece. The streak haired girl was her only real family and she had left after being told to stay. I failed to keep her safe at home Artemis... she ran off.... Maria always thought after her young niece had run away to America with her friends. The only option the military fanatic woman could do was ask that Allison and Alex watch over her with their parents help. But part of what she wanted was to keep Night from the fate she would be bound to should she have someone she cared for.

Maria's fears were confirmed as the boy who had been with in the duration of the night on a date. "Who are you?" She asked laying Night down onto a bench just outside of the theater. "Why are you acting so close to her?" Maria demandedly asked. Maria eyed the boy up and down, judging him. hmm, this boy is of the were cat species. About Nights age. Rather striking in looks and phsique. But is he loyal? Is he worthy of her? That's impossible. There isn't a man in existence who could be.. Maria thought scowling as she eyed the boy. "Well? Answer! Or are you mute of tongue, boy?" The insulting boy came out like acid as she became irritable with this possible suitor.

[Seamus McAllister]

Shay resisted the urge to growl in annoyance at the woman before him and said simply, "I'm her boyfriend, if you haven't exactly noticed yet. And my name's Seamus." He looked down at Night and thought to himself, Why the buggering hell does this woman hate me already? Hoping that Night's aunt wouldn't stab him because of what he was about to do, the werecat knelt beside the girl's unconscious body, held her hand and tried to detect anything from their Imprint. Nothing. Finally letting the growl escape from him, Seamus stood up and turned towards the aggressive Vampyre before saying, "Now that I've answered some questions, I think it's your turn."

He pointed towards Night. "What the hell did you do to her?" Because of the fact that this woman had showed up just before Night had started to feel unwell, he had to assume that she had something to do with it. Of course, Seamus didn't want a fight with her, what with her looking like she could best him in a fight, but for some reason he was feeling more aggressive today. "Secondly, who the fuck do you think you are to try and order me around like that? I don't care if you're related to Night or not, nothing gives you the right to try and intimidate me."

[Night Tenjo]

Night could barely feel the hand holding hers as her mind went to dark corners from the shock of seeing Maria as well as the worry from Shay. It was like a sound proof wall had been put up between her and Shay as he held her hand. Anything going through her mind right now was cut off, just as the distance between the two of them a few moments ago, when she waited n the theater for Seamus to come back inside and she couldn't hear his thoughts. A momentary break in their connection so he could have his thoughts to himself and it seemed Night fell into the abyss.

"Night? Where are you?" The angelic woman asked as she walked through the white rose garden maze. Her elegant white dress flowed as she walked giving her the true image of an angel floating. But her hair could be misleading on her looks. The long flowing black and white streaked hair was just as wavy as the dress as she walked, searching for the little girl. "Night, where are you hiding? You know I'm gonna find you sooner or later!" Artemis said sweetly looking for her daughter amongst the roses.

"Never gonna find me!" The little girl with similar hair giggled as she ran through the maze before suddenly being picked up by a dark haired woman in a military uniform.

"You shouldn't tease your mother so much, Night." Maria laughed holding Night tightly so she couldn't escape. "Found her."

"Ria!" Artemis said moving slightly faster to the two girls. What brings you here? And you caught her!" She laughed reaching for Night.

"No fair cheaters!" Night grumbled in her mothers arms.
