What You'll Find Here

Anacosta Heights
Dupont Circle
Hawethorn Village
River Dale

Anacosta Heights

Situated above the daily life of the city, Anacosta Heights is a tucked away suburb featuring extravagant neo-gothic inspired mansions. The inhabitants of this neighborhood often show their overwhelming wealth with sports cars lining their long, circular driveways, large pools, and manicured gardens. The homeowners of Anacosta Heights treasure their privacy as seen by the high iron gates to the security personnel present at every entrance.

Dupont Circle

Dupont Circle is a small suburban neighborhood settled within the serene portion of the southern portion of town. These four-bedroom, single-family homes feature back yards, porches, garages, and far more breathing space then the Village offers. This neighborhood often is more family orientated and even has organized events for children and the neighborhood as a whole.

Hawethorn Village

Settled in the middle of downtown, Hawthorn Village consists of several victorian inspired row houses just off the main street. Due to it's convenience to just about everything, the village can be a tad expensive to live within. However, the residents of this neighborhood often have two to three-story townhouses, often with a one to two-car garage. Many of the houses feature bay windows and/or rooftop terraces with a small fenced-in 'yard'.

River Dale

River Dale primarily consists of apartments that, despite their age and industrial appearing interior, still hold to the Victorian history that permeates the town. These apartments are often the cheapest option and sport scuffed, older wooden floors, open floor plans, visible beams, and the occasional brick wall.

She doesn't seem like herself at all tonight. She's almost unfocused, like her mind is a million miles away. I wish I knew what was going through that pretty little head of hers so I could help her. I just want to comfort her but I don't know how. When I bring up Dorian, she seems almost lost for a second like she didn't even know I was talking. I nod, secretly wondering who Dorian's boy toy is but I guess I'll find out eventually. I tilt my head, trying to read her face again when she says that she's not going anywhere tonight. She just seems so down.

"Well, that's no fun. Guess it's a good thing I brought the fun to you." I smile. When I ask if she's cold, she gives me a small smile but doesn't answer and my lips tighten a little. I hate seeing her this way. She does seem to perk up a little when I mention joining her, asking me if I want to join with a soft voice. My smile widens in answer. For the first time, I see a shadow of the fairy who danced with me in the sky on the beach.

I can practically feel her whole body tense up when I mention hearing things. I guess she's a little scared of what could be going on out there. That, or she already knows what I've heard. She almsot flinches like she's been hit and when I say the word boat, it only takes a second for her face to contort and her head to shake like she's trying to tell me something but the words won't come out. Even as the words spill from my mouth, I'm already regretting them. I should have known better.

She looks distressed suddenly but I don't know why. Before I've even finished closing my mouth, she snaps and now it's my turn to jerk my head back, eyes widening before my brows furrow in concern. She just told me to shut up. I've never heard her voice so icy. She tells me I don't know what I'm talking about before she turns her face from me sharply and presses her head against the back of the sofa. I blink a few times, dumbfounded at first. What'd I do?

"Sam? What do you mean?" My voice is feather soft, trying to console her. Then it all comes spilling out. And even before she gets to the end, I know that I've royally fucked up. I should have known better. She had mentioned that she visited the Ark quite regularly. I knew that must mean she had friends or something there. Why didn't I think of her having a boyfriend there? Stupid, so stupid. She pulls the blankets close and my face crumples, her sobs breaking my heart along with her own. I inhale sharply when she says that he burnt to death right in front of her.

"Shit." It's all I can think to say at first. I run a hand through my hair and lean back in the chair, breathing out slowly, a long deep breath. "Oh damn, I'm so so sorry, Sam." I scowl. "You're right. No one gets that right." I look down, my hands wringing like I've got a towel between them because I suddenly don't know what else to do. "Sam, I'm sorry. I didn't know. I should think before I speak." I move off the chair onto my knees in front of her, my fists pushing into the floor as I bow my head in front of her knees. "Think you can ever find it in your heart to forgive me?" I close my eyes, still chewing myself out behind closed lids.
