Jake Johnson's Bachelor Apartment

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

...

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She looks around wide-eyed at the lavish apartment. "What exactly do you do for a living?"

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He shrugged, "nothing big, I've been saving for a long time. Most of this stuff was passed down to me," he puts his bag down, "I'm a writer. I write horror books on creatures like us. I'm working on a vampire trilogy right now."

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"You are? What's it called?" She asked letting Mir down.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

"It doesn't have a title yet. I normally do that last," he shrugged.
A dark black kitten walks out of the bathroom and to the kitchen to drink some of her water.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

Mir seeing the animal rushes forward. She smiled. "What's her name?"

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

"That Clover. I found her in a clover field," he went to the kitchen, "hungry?" He took out some drinks.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She smile as she slowly approached Clover. "Yes, what do you have," she asked as she cautiously petted Clover's head.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

"I have almost anything. I can make something if you want," he offered.
Clover purred and let the new girl pet her.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"Surprise me then," she said grinning and continued stroking Clover's fur.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He nodded and started making spaghetti, "I have water, juice, and milk, if you get thirst," he pored a glass of orange juice and sipped it.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She nodded and poured herself a glass of milk. "How many books have you written?"

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

"About six," he stated, "there not very good, in my opinion."

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She frowned. "Don't give me a negative opinion before I even read them." The she smile, "You never know I could become one of your overzealous fans."

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He laughed a bit, "I wouldn't mind," he flashed her a dashing smile then went back to cooking.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She absentmindedly continued stroking Clover's fur. Alarm then flashed through her face. "Wait, do you live alone?"

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He looked at her, surprised by her alarm, "yes..?" He looked around the one room. You could see his 'bedroom' and living room just by standing here. It was open concept, so there was only a wall to hide the bathroom.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She thought for a moment then said,"Nevermind. Do you want some help cooking?"

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

"I should be fine," he insisted and looked her face over, "why did you ask?" He asked, feeling like he needed to know.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"Ask what, offering to help with the food?" She said looking a little puzzled.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He shook his head, "why did you ask if I love alone?"

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"Well I thought the other girl was nice but there were two guys waiting in the apartment. But don't worry I remember Mir hated her when they were together. And you can't be evil if I already want to hit you sometimes." She said grinning using a totally random thought process.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

Jake chuckled, "alright," he finished cooking and made them each up a plate.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She looked at her plate of spaghetti and sighed. "Maybe you can teach me how to cook too. It was a blow to my self-esteem when I burned my spaghetti the first time I cooked."

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He smiled gently, "I don't mind teaching you, could be fun," he led her to the living room area. He sat on the chair so she could have the couch.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She stared mutinously towards the kitchen. "I don't know about fun."

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He shrugged, "you can make anything fun if you do it right." He started eating, "could use pepper," he put his plate on the coffee table and went to get salt and pepper.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She tentatively took a bite from her plate and almost moaned from the taste. Closing her eyes she savored the taste. At least, until she felt Mir climb onto her lap. "Nope I am not sharing get your own boy."

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

Jake laughed, "is Mir aloud people food?"

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"No, he isn't allowed to have it but it doesn't stop him from trying." She said taking a few more bites from her plate.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He nodded and brought the pepper and salt to the table. He sat down again and went back to eating.

Clover attacked a ball of purple yarn on the floor. She rolled around and started getting tangled.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She giggled at Clover's antics and got up to help the poor tangled animal. Mir seeing his chance slowly inched towards her unattended plate.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

Jake leaned over and picked up her plate, saving it from Mir.

Clover purred happily when she was helped.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

Walking back over she spots her moved plate and a sulking Mir. Laughing she says,"Thanks for saving my food."

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He chuckled, "no problem."

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

Sitting down, she asked," What got you into writing horror?"

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

"Tragic life events," he stated, dragging his fork threw his spaghetti, "my foster parents actually suggested I wrote, and my foster sister submitted one of my short stories into a publisher and I got started from that."

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"Tragic life events?" She asked taking a few more bites.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He nodded, "I don't really like talking about it," he said plightly, not wanting to be rude about dropping it.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She smiles sadly. "I understand I wouldn't want to talk about mine either. But what about your foster family?"

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He shrugged, "I was adopted at sixteen and lived with them until I was eighteen. I have a mom, dad, and little sister."

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"Is she my age?" She asks curiously.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

Jake thought, "a year younger. Or older. I'm not sure. She's turned nineteen so meany times I lost track," he chuckled lightly. "She doesn't like the thought of growing up."

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

Happiness lights her face. "What does she like to do?" she asks excitedly.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

"Her natural hair colour is blond, but last I saw her is was blue, she's got green eyes, freckles, she's average hight, small built," he listed, trying to think of his to describe her, "she's funny, clumsy, but really sweet."

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"She likes dyeing her hair blue," she said looking at him incredulously.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

Jake nods, "and purple, green, I think she's done red too," he smiled.

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

She looks dubiously at her hair as if trying to imagine it one of those colors.

[Elizabeth, Vampire Princess]

He chuckled, "she's a hair dresser, or at least a she's in school to be one."

[Katriana, Altering Reality]

"Did she ever touch your hair?" A grin broke her face as she looked at his hair.
