Everyone Needs Someone, Just One { Dani

[Bliss Diegel]

The past. You can face it or run from it. And mostly everyone seemed to run from it. Bliss had something special though... She could see everyone's past, even if she didn't want to. She was forced with the curse of seeing someone's past... IT could be as early as the past five seconds, as far back as to the day they were born... Bliss hid her past, so really only others with pshychometry like herself could see it. And, now Bliss knew Dani's... What started as a simple experiment turned into something that caused them both pain. Bliss had been forced into Dani's past and all of it was in Bliss' grasp and now that she saw it and told Dani she did. Dani basically freaked and ran... Bliss was so worried, she didn't even go to the nurse to get her broken wrist in a cast. No, she just ran after her friend. Awh, Bliss was such a good friend.

She had been running forever now it seemed since Dani had taken off... Hell, Bliss couldn't even feel her wrist's pain anymore because of how numb she was from searching for her friend. Her lips were purple and she was shaking all over. She was so cold... And, she was so worried about Dani. She had been looking for her for at least thirty minutes and she was already freezing... Well, that's how nights were. A full moon was over head, but instead of being a shinning white, it looked an orangish red. Was that a good sign, or a bad one? Bliss didn't know, but she was still so worried for her friend... After all of the killings that were happening, mainly plaguing the gifted humans. No, only happening to the gifted humans. So, Bliss' fear was heightend... She checked so many places, so now she was off to the Grey Forest. She needed to find her friend, and soon...

Walking through the wooded part of it, Bliss looked up to the sky, seeing the many stars in the sky. This made her remember the night when she became what she was... Running through the forest, a star lite night... Well, she had nothing to fear now. She was a vampire and the killer wasn't after vampire, so what did she have to fear? Well, besides finding her friend dead... Stupid thought, go away! Though, she saw a clearing and a person, making her move fast through the thick forest, seeing Dani with a small frown. "Dani..." Walking to her from behind, she sighed, broken wrist hidden under her jacket.

The darkness added to the bitter cold slapping against Dani’s face. The moon wasn’t out. And if it was, it wasn’t giving off much light because she could barely see in front of her. She had her hands out for caution but they’re weren’t much a help. She was constantly hitting things and there were definitely scratching on her bare arms. She stumbled around--running when she could--unable to escape what she had seen. What she done. She couldn’t escape any of it and it was driving her crazy. Like someone had turned on her powers and was using them against her. The images were still there, the guilt was crawling into her stomach making her want to grab her head and scream until she lost her voice. This was one nightmare that was never going to end.

In such a small amount of time, Dani had covered more ground that she could imagine (or knew.) Her legs were like jelly; barely holding her up and her stomach wasn’t fighting whatever she had had for lunch. It churned as she made her way through the thickness of the trees and she stopped every few minutes for fear of throwing up. She hadn’t ran that much in a long time. She always seemed to be running. Her breath was coming out in short ragged gasps and she whatever visions she had was being obscured by tears.

At one point she managed to stumble back to a clearing and she could only assume the school was nearby again. She only made it as far a few feet before taking a seat near a tree and cradling her aching head into her shoulders again. Her body shook with the cold wind and she pressed her teeth together to keep them from clattering. The sweat on her body was freezing against her skin. Her lips were losing color and it was safe to say it wasn’t a good idea to be out here without a jacket. Especially not in here in condition.

She wasn’t sure if she had imagined someone calling her name or if that was just what she wanted. Either way she pressed her head into her arms more and shook her head. There was no one out there. And if there was, they could fuck off.

Seeing her friend, she frowned. Dani was probably freezing, since she wasn't wearing a jacket. Bliss was, but it as thin... But she ha to help her friend. Walking over to Dani, the crunch of frosted grass crunching beneath her feet, Bliss sighed. She didn't like how Dani looked, and Dani was just running from something Bliss and Dani knew that Dani needed to face! Sure, Bliss ran too... But that was another story, another time. Pulling her jacket off, Bliss knelled down in front of her friend, wrapping the jacket around her with a frown. "Dani..." Moving her hands to Dani's arms, she moved them to see Dani's face. Bliss' tears were gone, though she felt them coming back as quick flashes came once she touched Dani. Goddamn this power, she hated every second of it...

She moved so she was sitting next to her friend, wrapping an arm around her to be sure no breeze would take the jacket off Dani. She feared for her friend, not wanting her to get sick or anything. So, rubbing her arms, she sighed, glad there was a laid between skin so she wouldn't have to see Dani's past. "Dani, please, talk to me. I know what happened, and I wish I didn't have to poke into your past... But it's a power I'm unable to control..." Bitting her bottom lip, she looked to her friend, feeling a huge ache in her heart. Bliss hated to see anyone hurting, especially if it was some like Dani. Dani didn't deserve this pain and all of her past problems. Bliss wanted to help... But what if Dani wouldn't let her? What else was there?

Bliss had problems in the past she needed to face as well... But she didn't think her problems were anything big. She was blind and naive and wouldn't let anyone in. She was suffering, and Bliss pushed herself aside to help others. But deep inside, Bliss did crave someone to talk to, someone to help her... Maybe Bliss could talk to Dani? She needed to Dani to talk... Maybe if Bliss told her some of the stuff that happened to herself, maybe Dani would become more calm? Bliss didn't know, she was improvising!

[Dani James]

There was someone there. And Dani didn’t need telepathy to know who it was. She could hear the footsteps crunching over the snow and twigs, signal their way toward her. She forced herself to lift her head and through puffy eyes stared blankly at her friend. The last thing she wanted to do was talk about why she had freaked out, and what Bliss knew, because yes, it was obvious Bliss knew something. Dani kept wanting to believe that she didn’t but there was no other explanation. Though, she quite liked the option of pretending Bliss didn’t know. It made her feel just as tad bit better. Or maybe that was the heat coming from the fresh jacket around her shoulders. She jumped a little at the presence of someone else and looked up to see Bliss. “Hi.” She barely whispered the word and sniffed a little. This was not how she wanted her friend to see her. This was sop humiliating.

Dani sighed as the girl sat down. She was going to want to talk about it. She knew one day she was going to have to face her fears but she didn’t want it to be today. Or tomorrow. Or the next day, for that matter. “It doesn’t matter, Bliss! It’s done with. I’ve already moved on.” Okay, she was lying. Big time. But oh well. She was scared. There. “I’m sorry.” She muttered. “I just…I don’t want to talk about it.” What if she told Bliss and she ended up thinking Dani was a monster? She wasn’t! It was an accident! Dani shook her head and dropped it back down in her arms. “I swear, I’m not a monster, Bliss. Just trust me.”

Sighing slightly, Bliss pulled Dani closer. Dani was worring her, that was no doubt. Her best friend thought she was a monster? Gosh, Bliss wouldn't ever think that of her! Bliss even saw what happened with her own eyes, it wasn't bad to her. She was protecting herself, saving her life from her father's grasp. Bliss was somewhat grieving for her friend... I mean, wouldn't you? She was so worried about her friend, but Bliss couldn't do much except for be there for her friend. She could maybe tell Dani about the mistakes she herself made... Maybe that'd make Dani not feel as bad, maybe not feel bad at all. But, Bliss knew guilt remainded there forever usually.

Hand running itself through Dani's hair, she bit her bottom lip, thinking of how to talk to her. "Dani... I saw what happened, and you aren't a monster. What happened to your mother wasn't you fault, it was the drunks. What happened with you and your father, that was self defense... If anyone is a monster, that'd be me..." Bitting her lip and looking down to the snow covered ground, Bliss took a deep breath. "You might have seen a little about what happened, but I doubt all... And, since I know your past, let me tell you mine..." Bliss felt it was only right... It wouldn't be fair to Dani. "Anyways, it was when i was eight. My parents both died by a bank robber. Then, I moved in with a foster family... The foster dad molested me and the mom beat me and..." Just a few sentences and Bliss felt close to tears. Pulling her arm off Dani, she took Dani's hand, pushing it under her shirt onto a large scar on her stomache, lifting her shirt to show her tanned stomache, Dani's hand laying on the re scar that ran all across her entire stomache. "She did that to me." Sighing before pushing down the shirt, moving Dani's hand away before moving her arm back over Dani. "They were eventually arrested, but then I was shoved into an orphanage. It was hell, torture. Everyone knew I was gifted, they were awful to me or they wouldn't be near me. I eventually ran away, but..." Tears began to whell up in Bliss' eyes as she looked to her friend. "I became a vampire that night... I wasn't born one, I was made one." She sniffled, a tear breaking free from Bliss and running down her face. "After that, a gang group of a bunch of gifteds and vampires took me in. In the end, they all abandoned me and I was arrested before released and I lived on the street. Somehow I got a letter and came to Winterthorne..." Taking a deep breath, Bliss let it out, shakingly. "But the man who killed my family... I got revenge..." Her lip trembled, not from cold, but from overwhelming sadness. "I tortured him to death... All to avenge my parents... I tortured him till he was dead." Bliss shivered as she closed her eyes, seeing the man's face. Seeing tears run down his face. See him suffering as Bliss used her energy manipulation to torture him. "He had a family and two kids... He had served his time for the death of my family and I killed him..." She pulled her arm off Dani turning her back to her, not wanting Dani to see Bliss weak. "I killed a man... Just because I was angry..."

Bliss never had actually told anyoneher past, besides Blake. Blake only knew that her parents died though and that she was changed into a vampire. Why? Well, because Blake knew she wasn't born a vampire and because Blake had known her since they were babies. Ivory knew because she also had psychometry. But otherwise, no one knew... Dani was the first one she told, and she was scared for Dani's reaction. Bliss felt like the most awful person in the entire world. How could she had killed someone who had done their time, regreated it, and had a family? She did though, and she felt like she was to blame for her foster parents. She was to blame for so much and Bliss was scared to be alive. What if someone was looking for her for the murders she commited and the robberys she did? Bliss commited crime after crime to make it through life, she felt like the monster. She was scared to be alive.

[[ ooc; yay, long post!!! ]]

[Dani James]

Dani hardly felt that even touching hair let alone skin was a good idea right now. That back there. It had proved nothing to her; only driven her further into confusion and unearthed memories she wanted to forget long ago. It was so like Dani deny thing the most important; to repress what mattered most to her. She had denied herself to live a happy life. She had pretended she wasn't a murderer. She had acted like she hadn't deserved the worst and had bottled up all of emotions inside until she could no longer live them in. She had even lied to herself and denied the fact that she was in love with her best friend. Everything good that ever possibly happened went into that vault and never came out. Typical Dani to push away the good and still pretend like everything was perfect. She was even pushing away the growing infatuation she was starting to develop for Killingston and once again she would never admit it. Not even to herself. One day, she was due to explode from internal combustion. Dani shook away Bliss's touch though it was just her hair and hugged herself. She felt bad but it was all she could of to do to keep from complicating this. "Bliss," she started, in the same arrogant, annoying, misunderstanding voice. "You're wrong. You only saw parts you don't fully kno--" Dani's cut herself off and blinked in utter confusion. "Huh?" There was no time to pause or to ask more questions. Bliss launched into a full story/explanation and Dani could nothing but stay still and listen to her friend speak. She needed to hear this. She just didn't know it yet.

"Anyways, it was when I was eight. My parents both died by a bank robbery. Then, I moved in with a foster family... The foster dad molested me and the mom beat me and..."

Her eyebrows pulled together, trying to process the words Bliss was telling her. She didn’t really understand what the girl was saying until after she said her parents had died. She knew they weren’t alive anymore but she obviously hadn’t know that Bliss’s foster parents had hurt her. Her deep green eyes went round with disbelief and her arms tightened around herself. “They--they hurt you?” She whispered, the question answered before it even came out. Her hand was guided to Bliss’s stomach and she almost pulled away until her fingertips brushed the remains something out of place, something uncommon. Dani pressed her hand against Bliss’s flesh; her eyebrows raising again as if to ask ‘This? They did that to you?’ And that question was answered too.

Danni’s jaw dropped father towards the ground, and she took Bliss’ hand, trying to understand what she was saying. “I wasn't born one, I was made one." Dani had always been so sure Bliss had been born a vampire. These were things she’d never shared with her. She wasn’t sure how to respond, how to react. It seemed they both had their share of secrets they had kept to themselves.

"He had a family and two kids... He had served his time for the death of my family and I killed him…I killed a man... Just because I was angry..."

She didn’t even know what to say to that. She wanted to hug bliss and tell her she was no monster but she couldn’t get her body to move. She wasn’t. Neither of them were but Dani was so thickheaded she couldn’t understand that. “You aren’t a monster,” Dani mumbled and forced back her tears again. “You aren’t Bliss,” She gripped the girl in a hug, her face buried in Bliss’s shoulder. “I’m sorry.” There wasn’t much se could say. Her head was still spinning from the scene in the dorm room and now the cold was making it hard to think correctly. Dani would have done the same thing. That was her problem. She got mad way too easily. She always reacted and never thought it through. She didn't blame Bliss one bit for what she had done.


[[sorry that FOREVER. Please please please don't hate me! My muse is terrible with anyone other than Xio right now. >_<]]
