gregory price, inactive - michelle clarke

Greg felt guilty for walking out of that little impromptu meeting and leaving Michelle there by herself. He would have stayed, but him and black magic didn't mix and he was really glad that he had been given a heads up. It was bad enough that he had the werewolf curse, but it was worse with the demonic blood inside of his veins.

He knocked on the door of her apartment as he smashed a cigarette out under the heel of his shoe.

Michelle would be the first to admit that her apartment wasn't much. But when you suffered from a proven (if medically mystifying) allergy to light and could only work jobs that could be handled by computer, you took what you could afford.

Her sense of smell--getting sharper all the time--told her who was at the door.

She opened it. "Didn't expect to see you again," she said.

	Greg nodded. "That's why I'm here. I wanted to explain that. Can I come in?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-05-31 12:32 am UTC (link)
	She arched a curious eyebrow, but took a couple steps back and opened the door farther. "Sure. C'mon in." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-05-31 01:38 am UTC (link)
	"Thanks," he said as he stepped inside. "First, I'm sorry for just leaving like that. I don't want you to think that I abandoned you. There was a reason. A very good reason." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"I'm sure there was," she said. She gestured toward the "living room", which contained a couch and another chair. "Have a seat, if you want. Probably something worth drinking still in the fridge, if you want it too." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-05-31 02:06 am UTC (link)
	Yeah, she was not believing him. Greg took a seat in the chair. "You know about the lycanthropy, but there's an added twist," he started to explain. "On the nights of the full moon and in the presence of black magic, my demonic blood kicks in and I get werewolf times two and I can't control it. I would have tried to kill everyone in there."

	Michelle took a seat on the couch and considered the story being told. After a moment, she shook her head, then shrugged. "Makes as much sense as anything else I've heard in the last couple weeks," she said, not unkindly. "Vampires, demons, werewolves... Super-heroes, I could wrap my brain around. All of this...? That's a lot harder." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

"I can't imagine what it's like just learning about all of this," he said. "I grew up with it and still think some of it is unbelievable. I would have explained why I was leaving if I had the time. I didn't want to hurt anyone."

Greg had tried to be very careful about things, but over the years there had been a few times where he couldn't avoid bad things happening. He still saw the faces in his nightmares.

	"I believe you," she assured him. "Wait... grew up with it?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-05-31 02:43 am UTC (link)
	"Yeah. My family's had the werewolf curse since the 18th century. We become werewolves at the age of 18. My uncle, mother, sister, twin brother...all of them. My mother was possessed at one time too. So we grew up around it and told about it so we knew what to expect when we turned eighteen." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Shit..." Michelle said, her voice barely above a whisper. "At least you know what you are," she added. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-05-31 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Greg shrugged. "You have a point. I wish I could tell you exactly what you are, but the whole needing blood thing makes me suspect you're at least part vampire. My sister is one...sort of...so I'm familiar with the symptoms." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-05-31 09:14 pm UTC (link)
	"Part vampire?" she asked. "I didn't know there even was such a thing." She shook her head. "Then again, I'm starting to realize there's a hell of a lot I didn't know." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-06-01 01:32 am UTC (link)
	"It can happen," he said. "One parent is a vampire and the other a human, or something like that." He shrugged. "Weird shit happens all of the time." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-06-01 01:41 am UTC (link)
	"I didn't think vampires could... ah..." Michelle trailed off, and shook her head. "I know it's not my mother, if that's the case. She's as normal as can be. Wish I knew more about my father, though." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-06-01 02:18 am UTC (link)
	Greg scratched his head. "Well if you want to track him down at some point, I would be willing to help. Don't know how much I can personally do, but my family does have some ties I could try." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-06-01 02:23 am UTC (link)
	"Might be a good idea at some point," she admitted. "Thank-you," she added. "I appreciate it." She sighed. "How do you deal with it, Greg? How do you keep from feeling like a monster?" (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-06-01 02:36 am UTC (link)
	"You're welcome." Greg was quiet for a moment. "I guess I try to make up for it by doing what good I can do when I can do it." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-06-01 02:58 am UTC (link)
	Michelle ran her tongue over the fangs in her mouth. Fangs which had pierced throats and arteries. Fangs which had been used to kill so she could feed. "Sounds... noble," she said quietly, after a moment. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-06-01 03:07 am UTC (link)
	"It's hardly noble. It's just me trying to deal with the guilt I carry around." He's quiet for a moment. "I've lost control a few times and innocent people got hurt." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-06-01 01:03 pm UTC (link)
	"Like I almost did," Michelle said softly. "Don't know what I would have done, if I'd run into someone other than you than night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-06-01 07:45 pm UTC (link)
	"Thankfully you did run into me," he said. "I should probably get going. I just wanted to let you know why I left the other night." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-06-01 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	She nodded. "Yeah," Michelle agreed. "All right. I'll... let you know what they find, if I can." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-06-01 09:36 pm UTC (link)
	Greg nodded. "Just give me a call." A pause. "Call me anytime you need to." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	bite_me 2010-06-01 11:13 pm UTC (link)
	She smiled, just a little bit. "I will." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	fullmoonfever 2010-06-02 02:36 am UTC (link)
	Greg smiled in return. "Good. I'll see you later then." He stood up and walked to the door. "Oh, if you ever just need to kick back, stop by Kingston Mines. I'm there just about every night. Got the best blues in the city." (Reply to this)(Parent)
