Incubus Dreams - October 27th

As Anita wakes up, she makes several realizations.

She is on the floor.

She is on the floor of her kitchen.

She is on the floor of her kitchen, naked.

Slowly, she looks around and sees Nathaniel on the floor at her side, his cheek resting on her thigh. Memory comes back to her, of the hungers, of the ardeur, of the fucking and feeding and memories. Anita eyes dart around, looking for Damian, because Damian was with them, and they land on his form, bathed in sunlight.

Like his pale skin had been dipped in honey, and Anita has the distant thought of how beautiful the vampire looked with his blood-red hair, warm skin, and relaxed features. But the most overwhelming thought was that Damian was bathed in sunlight! She scrambles over to him, grabbing Damian by the ankles, and pulls him out of the sunlight, but then he's awake, screaming, struggling, and Anita panics.

Damian is the only one left awake, and he watches as the other four find their repose. It is comforting, to see them all resting after the panic the morning had brought. He knows he has caused damage, but it will heal in time.

He has gained much in the last few hours, and he forces himself to focus on those positive thoughts, refusing to let fear in.

He watches over the group for many long minutes, and when Anita's power swells after a bit of recouperation, he gives into its call and allows his own spirit to let go, knowing he will be called back when the sun sets.

Then the healing will continue and, hopefully, answers will be found.
