"It looked pretty momentous to me," Greta argued. "Followed by the slap, you two have been through some deep shit together."

Riley glared at Gin, then she said to the girl, "You live here, this is where you belong."
"Do I though?" Greta asked Riley. "I sure do love hiding half of who I am to everyone I meet. But I'm sure they'd treat me the same if they knew," she stated, sarcasm dripping from her words.
"What's with that look? We only met once, we haven't done anything together!" He said, crossing his arms.
((It was going me, Allison, then Starry))
"It's just down the road a little ways," Greta said, turning to look at the stranger from before. "You won't miss it."
Riley turned to Gin," no nothing like that happened but something did happen. If you hadn't gotten me out of there and then let me feed from you I would have died. Don't you think that is something?" Riley turned to the girl, point is you are from here, that is all that matters."
((Am I supposed to go away? I can't really tell if I should keep persisting or not.....))
"She has a point. Even if you follow us, you'll only lose your friends. They may not know, but it's better to have fake friends then see that place." He said, crossing his legs. "And so what? I saved you and let you bite my neck, and you kissed me. That happened at least three times."
((I'm in, I just couldn't tell if my character was getting annoying or not))
Riley slapped him up side the head again. "You sake fool! Geez you haven't change at all, only getting older and the memory going not at all."
"Look, I'm not worried about losing my friends," Greta told Gin, "if it means learning who I really am."
'Why is this girl so stubborn? I clearly don't want her following me!' He thought as he pulled out some candy. "You're...that. Yeah, that." He said, nodding.
"Thanks, that clears everything up," Greta rolled her eyes and sat back. She would be as stubborn as she liked, until she got at least one answer.
Riley suddenly felt it again, this was always the problem with her, she got hungry faster than a normal vampire after feeding. Her eyes already turning red again. Luckily her hood still covered her head, the tremmers starting. She looked at Gin and placed a white hand on his shoulder "Gin, I think I need your help again." She turned her head so he could see her eyes. He knew what it meant.
"Oi, do you have to? I'm a sadist, getting bit isn't my style." He said, trying to back away when he realized he was on a bench.
The light clicked that Riley needed blood. "Um, Riley," she asked, "is there a chance that if you bit me...I mean.. I want to help, but I don't want to be a vampire. No offence."
Riley dropped her hand. She looked at the girl. She smirked even with her body beginning to shake. "No, it doesn't work like that, it's not magic, it's complicated. Are you sure?".
"Yes, she is! Go bite her, not me. I like doing the biting." He said quickly.
"Yeah, of it's not too much, then I'm sure," Greta assured her. "Besides, it's not like Mr. Candypants looks like he's ready anytime soon."
Riley nodded her head. "Don't worry, I'm 212 years old and I've managed never to kill. Oh and by the way Gin, you're a real pervert. Follow me." Riley headed off to the ladies room.
"Hey, I refuse to let an old hag like you bite me." He said, looking irritated. Just search for a girl on that. You'll get plenty of blood."
Greta looked incredulously back at Gin, and followed Riley to the women's washroom.
Riley was waiting for her. "Listen, are you sure, I don't like people feeling forced or anything, by the way, what is your name?"
"I'm Margareta, but please just call me Greta," she replied. "And honestly, you need it, I have it. It's not forced."
Gin suddenly saw a sweets store and jumped up. "I'm sure they won't mind!" He said as he ran towards it.
((Oh shoot sorry the order...my bad. Just skip my next turn))
Riley only nodded. She moved her hair out of the way and grasped her by the shoulder's, she looked into Greta's eyes and said, "It will hurt if you move, try not to." And with that Riley bent her head and sunk her fangs into Greta's flesh. Riley drank deeply for 5 seconds, then removed her fangs and licked the two little wounds, her saliva sealing the flesh again. She let go of Greta and asked, "How do you feel?".
((It doesn't matter right now, since he wouldn't be involved anyways.))Gin was eating a chocolate parfait a few minutes later. "Man, this hits the spot." He sighed.
"Kind of weird, but I think I'm fine. How are you feeling now?" Greta asked, concern in her voice. The experience hadn't been too painful, but it wasn't something she wanted to repeat very soon.
Riley smiled and took off her hoodie, revealing emerald green eyes once more. "Fine, you taste delicious by the way." Riley look closely thou at Greta's face, she was paler, but her heart was steady, no damage done. Riley felt proud, and full.
((Hey guys where can I hop in at))
((Oh I see how it is...jk ok see you tomorrow))
"So I guess our bus is coming now, isn't it..?" Greta stated, though she didn't really know if she was still able to go home and act I like herself.
Riley almost as a after thought said "Now I owe you too." Riley looked at Greta in a odd way, then she said, her face grave. "Once it is done you can never go back. Do you realise that? You would be putting everyone you love in great danger. You will most likely come to lose some people in your life. You will always be in danger, looking over your shoulder. Once you now, there is no going back. Do you understand? Do you want to know?" Riley kept her gaze fixed on Greta's eyes.
At this, Greta didn't know what to say. She wanted to know more than anything what she was, but loved her family so much that she didn't know whether she could sacrifice them for herself. "I'm not sure," she said to Riley. "I think I'd like to call my parents first, and then I'll make my decision."
Riley realised she had mispoken. "You fool, I mean of course you can go back home. What I mean is, once you know the truth, you can never unknow it, are you sure you can live with that?". Riley narrowed her eyes.
"Oh," said Greta, realizing how dumb she must've sounded, "of course I want to know. The truth will set you free, right?" She added, hoping to redeem herself at least a little bit.
"Or it could do the exact opposite. Even if you do go home, you and those closest to you will always be in danger. One day it could all blow up in your faces. Are you prepared for that?".
"Yes," she replied, looking Riley in the eye. "I'm ready."
Riley stood straight and let her eyes relax, then she shrugged. Muttering to herself, "mortals." Riley then turned around and hunched down. Reaching back with her arms. "Let's go then. Get on my back. Gin can take care of himself. But we need speed to go unseen. Now hop on."
Greta eyed her weirdly, but decided not to comment. This was the first time all day someone was really willing to help her. She shrugged, and jumped onto Riley's back.
Gin was eating his third cake when he sneezed. "Ah, someone must be talking about me." He said as he dug in again.
Riley took off then. She ran at her super speed out of the bathromm then out of the bus station. The humans around her never noticing a thing. She was far too quick. She whirled down the street and into an alley way. She didn't stop for the dead end. Instead she ran right through the wall. Then they both vanished.
((Should I stick my next comment on the island?))
Riley walked through the portal and turned. Watching if Brian had followed.
Brian flew right by her having been thrown from the portal.
Riley watched on. She went over to where Brian had landed. She offered him her hand. "Nasty business some portals."
"ya, and i have learned that the hard way several times over the last three years" Brian said taking her hand and getting up.
