I had managed to stay under the radar for 2 days. No one seemed to realize I wasn’t with the others, here or there. While @Driscoll_A was away it was easy and @Daniel_Molloy_ was forced to sleep before the sun rose. An Estate full of vampires was just not in my plans for peace & quiet. @Lady_Celeste1 had managed, w/the help of bonded blood, to stay up during the day. @Bastiaan_C could as well but had been gone so much with work related emergencies that he was rarely there. The Immortals, @FeleciaImmortal and @LanceImmortal, were a constant presence in my physique since they were always lurking somewhere in the night hours. I didn’t have to have had their blood to know they were around. Something in me was changing. I had felt it slowly start developing right after I had taken Driscoll’s blood for the first time.
I had no idea what I was becoming, needed time to myself to think through the past 7 months. Where I had been, where I was now and the future that seemed to be clouded in confusion. I needed time. The Fae of the Estate, @FaerieKalen, @Fairy_Laurana and ever @teacup_Rose, were a worry to me since I knew they could “poof” from place to place. I loved them dearly but needed time to myself without worrying who was reading whose mind. So, I had boarded a Sea Plane bound for the one place I knew better than any, with the exception of the Coven’s Palatial Estate in Paris. I was going home to Night’s Island. I knew every square inch of that Island, including the wildest parts away from the Business & Tourist Section. If I could just spend some time there I was sure I’d find the answers I needed to return to my life. The life I had decided on when I realized that Daniel would never leave the safety of “his” hiding place away from the others. Always at odds with their decisions or more like they kept him out of the loop of their decisions, he had more or less taken over Armand’s Island home and made it his Sanctuary.
I never blamed him, more so I wanted more than an Island to call a life and decided to force his hand. That had turned out badly, considering he hadn’t budged, letting me go to create a life for myself with Celeste. Note to self, Satin: Never gamble with a vampire. You’ll lose every time. Or had I? Enter Driscoll Aberdeen. A whole new breed apart from what I was use to. Falling in love wasn’t the hard part. Picturing a life w/him was easy. It was seeing them, Daniel and Driscoll in the same place that had caused my equilibrium to shatter. Well, nothing I could do about that now. I was headed home. Home was where I would sift through the fog of confusing emotions, determined to find the answers to the doubts, I just needed time & peace. I wasn’t going back til I found a solution, and quickly. With @Aosoth gone to only she knew where and @Lestat_L getting more and more enraged as time passed, all I needed was to rock the boat with him and all the hiding in the world wouldn’t save me. He loved me dearly, but even I could stretch his love only so far, he did have his limits. I very well might be cashing in on the last drop of it with this stunt.
I just needed space and peace because I knew once they realized I was gone … It wouldn’t take them long to find me.
