Danika walked into the library, all the lights had been shut off and window shutters were closed. He could see perfectly fine though, of course he could he is a vampire. Night vision just came along with it, he couldn’t help but chuckle to himself at some of the comments he made about himself being a vampire. He didn’t exactly like being a vampire but he wasn’t going to kill himself because he didn’t like it. He let out a sigh at his thoughts and shook his head to get rid of them, or so he hoped for a while anyways.

He walked over to a book shelve and picked up a book from it, he looked it over but didn’t seem to be too interested in it and put it back. When he had finally picked out a book that he thought would be interesting he sat down at one of the tables, he opened the book to the first page and began to read. He didn’t mind books, when he got bored he would read them which was pretty often. He couldn’t concentrate on his book any longer; there was a smell that was lingering in the library now. Blood.

Bel squinted walking cautiously into the library. Even as a vampire his night vision was not the best, his lack of blood was probably a cause. but his vision was better than usual cause he just got back from the blood clinic. He wasn't strong so his vampiric senses were lacking to say the least. so the blood he got earlier certainly helped him out. Bel could see better than a human at least, but he was still cautious feeling around first to make sure he didn't bump into any of the large book cases in the library.

He smelled the air lightly trying to figure out if anyone else was in the library. Bel caught the slight scent of another vampire somewhere, he was getting closer too. it's not that he was looking for the other one he just seemed to be getting closer. He was never one to purposely approach people. especially other vampires. They always seemed to hate him Or pick on him. Bel was kind of weird in the vampire world, even half vampires acted more like full ones than he did. He was also so very old to be so attached to his human side.He got lost in thought as he was walking and he didn't notice a table, it was out of his line of vision after all. he slammed into it causing Bel to land halfway on top of it 'gah!"

Danika tried to keep the thoughts of the blood smell that had seemed to be walking towards him. He didn’t want to think about blood, it wasn’t something he wanted to think about. His human wife would not be proud of him, he knew that she was watching over him and if he drank human blood she would know. He shook his head; he couldn’t think of her if he did then he wouldn’t be able to move forward in this life. He needed someone, or at least something to distract him from his thoughts.

He had never been good at the Vampire fact of this ‘life’ he felt like it could all be a dream and he was going to wake up to his wife, with his junior running around. He couldn’t believe that he had lived his ‘life’ while she gave birth to his child and stayed around with his parents. Something or he should say someone bumped into the table and landed right on top of it, he moved back in surprise then looked at the vampire which was in front of him. The blood smell was now over whelming his nose, he quickly covered it and closed his eyes.

Bel struggled to get off of the table, kind of a task from the position he fell on it. All he could manage at the moment was to push himself up off the table a bit, Bel's body was still mostly on the table but at least his face wasn't pressed against the surface anymore.He was still kind of weak from the initial blow of hitting the table. Plus that bit of blood Bel had helped his strength but he didn't feed overall often so he was still pretty frail in terms of physical strength.

Bel looked ahead seeing the vague outline of another vampire, must have been the one he had been smelling earlier. so much for avoiding running into the other one, but it was too late for that now. i seemed to be okay though, the other didn't seem to be hostile toward Bel. but he squinted trying to make out the vampires face,only to see he was covering his nose and his eyes were shut. Did Bel smell or something, he tried sniffing himself but all he got was his normal scent and hints of blood. Not bad smells, well in his opinion," um I'm sorry are you okay?"he asked quietly in his soft British tone.

Danika was hesitant; the vampire had started to talk to him. He didn’t, well more like he couldn’t open his eyes to look at the other vampire. He could smell the blood and he wasn’t ready quite yet to open his eyes. The smell of blood drove him wild but he couldn’t have any, it’s bad. Sometimes even the smell of human blood would just make him sick but since most of the blood found around here was stored and cooled until it was brought out to be drunk. It didn’t really have that whole human heating by flesh.

He finally opened his eyes to look at the vampire, who was still on top of the table. He looked down at him slightly confused; this vampire seemed quite different from the others. Most vampires didn’t really hang out in the library anyways, simply because it wasn’t really the ‘cool’ thing to do but he didn’t care. He didn’t take his hand off his nose when he answered, he didn’t want to risk it. I’m fine, and you? He asked then blinked a few times. Of course it sounded funny, and then adding a bit of his Chinese accent in there and pretty much anyone would laugh.

Bel started to get scared when the other didn't open his eyes to look at him right away. What was wrong with him? Meaning Bel, i mean he couldn't smell so bad the other didn't even want to look at the vampire the smell came from. He didn't even think he smelled, but he must have. Otherwise the other wouldn't be so adamant about not looking or smelling him.

Bel felt a bit of relief when he caught movement and the other finally looked at him. Granted he gave him a weird look, he couldn't actually blame him for that one. He was in an odd position on the table, but he couldn't get off at the moment..well he could probably try crawling off but that seemed a little embarrassing to do while they were talking. Bel put the thought in his mind to try later maybe when the other vampire seemed less tense.

The other responded, which was good. Bel couldn't help still feeling confused, why did he keep his hand on his nose then? I mean if Bel's scent was bothering him he could just tell him, he didn't like getting insulted but it was better than knowing someone doesn't like something about him and wont say so. Bel tilted his head at his accent, it was Asian or something. He couldn't be sure though, he hadn't been to Asia before really, plus his accent was a little different from the nose plugging."I'm uh fine thank you. but are you sure your perfectly alright?"he asked.

Danika bit his finger which had been dangling in front of his mouth, he really couldn’t help himself. The smell of the blood was overwhelming, he was hoping that the guy would get off of the table quickly so he could recover and relax. He was trying all the things that would usually control him but they weren’t really working, the smell was right in front of his nose and it was strong. His eyes tended to shift over the library and try to focus on something other than the guy in front of his with the smell.

When he finally looked back at him, he was still on the table but looked a little awkward. He wasn’t really good with people but he could talk with them, just at the moment he was having a very hard time. He didn’t have interest in guy but his breath and the smell of blood was kind of drawing him near. He let out a sigh and let his fingers go from his nose but quickly put them back on. He had thought maybe but then couldn’t. I’m fine. He told him having a slight smile and nodded his head, he really couldn’t do anything other than that.

Bel shifted uncomfortably on the table sensing the other vampire was seemingly getting more tensed up. Like he was trying to hold himself back or something. He couldn't see it of course what with his bad vision but the air around the vampire was giving off that vibe. He scooted himself back a little trying to see how far away his feet were from the edge of his table, cause maybe getting off would be the best idea. It was worth a try anyway, I mean if his smell was what was bothering him if he got farther away it might help the situation.


"oh uh good I'm Bel by the way" he said scooting back further until his legs mostly hung of the edge of the table. Then he gave himself a powerful shove launching him back and off the table back onto his feet. It worked out pretty well minus the fact he hadn't really thought about his own strength and had stumbled back a little from the recoil. But he was on his feet at least, and by the looks of it, it had been a good plan. The other vampire didn't even seem to be able to keep his hand off his nose to talk to him. Bel bit his bottom lip lightly messing with one of his lips rings idly" um do i smell or something, cause uh if i do I'd prefer you tell me" he mumbled softly. Normally he would never be so bold and come out and say that, but this was really getting to him.

Danika noticed that the other vampire had a feeling of discomfort; he really didn’t mean to do it to the other vampire. He didn’t seem to be like the others either, which made him feel worse. He wanted to calm down and just tell the guy that the smell emitting from his mouth was making his senses go crazy. That the blood he had just drunk was something he didn’t want to have in his body. The guilt alone would drive him crazy after he had just a tiny sip.

He saw that the vampire was slowly trying to get off of the table and finally got off and seemed better about himself. Danika. He mumbled knowing that the heard him but was still trying to control himself from the smell even though he had gotten some space in between the two of them. He listened to the vampire’s words before slowly taking his hand off of his nose to speak clearly with his Chinese accent in full. You reek of blood. He said quickly before covering his nose once again. He wanted to calm down but getting that little smell just drove him wild which he did not like.

Bel looked at the other vampire, Danika if he heard correctly. I was kind of hard to make out what the other was saying, the accent mixing with his weird behavior was making it difficult for him. But at least he was making some sort of progress, the other was talking to him at least. Maybe there was a little bit of hope after all for Bel. he quickly bowed his head in a polite gesture, one of his old habit." nice to uh meet you Danika"He said with his head lowered. It wasn't really a pleasant experience so far, but he had to be nice. It wasn't the others fault, he only seemed to be reacting to something Bel smelled like. so technically this was his fault.

Bel's eyes widened a little in confusion, what was wrong with smelling like blood? I thought most vampires liked that smell, he personally didn't but he got used to it. He needed blood as much as it pained him to admit it, he would rather not but he didn't have much of an option. He wasn't strong enough to just give it up and accept dying, he wanted to live. Maybe this guy was sort of like him though, just to a more extreme level. Bel himself couldn't handle the smell of blood sometimes, it made him freak. He lowered his head again taking another step back hoping to try and help" i uh sorry, i just got back from the blood clinic." he mumbled not exactly sure why he was saying this. It didn't help the situation.

Danika watched the older vampire; he knew that his behaviour was wrong. He really didn’t want to act like this, he couldn’t help the taste of the blood would over whelm him then he would have to start all over again and it would be much harder as it goes on. He needs to think of something else, maybe if he talked to the guy about weather or something irrelevant to blood then maybe he would calm down. He gulped a bit as he tried to prepare himself to give it another try.

He listened to the vampire name Bel tell him that he had just came from the blood clinic, of course he would have such a strong scent of blood lingering on him. He needed to calm down though, and he wasn’t planning on just pushing the guy away. That would be rude and not necessary but the smell was kind of getting to him, yet he needed to learn that other vampire’s didn’t think like him so he has to stop protecting himself and ‘live’. He took his hand off his mouth and took a deep breath in through his nose; the smell of blood came in quickly.

Relax. He thought and looked at the guy, he was slightly calming down but the blood was really strong but he could do it. It’s okay, I really need to learn that I’m baby so that smell I have to get over. He said slowly and his accent went really heavy as he clearly said his words. He hoped that the guy could understand him and he did a slight bow back, he hadn’t seen many people bow to him. At least not since he left Asia, it was a slight surprise to him but he respected his bow and bowed back.
