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.

I can tell that Isolt is pretty nervous herself but that only feeds my own nerves. How can I feel safe if she doesn't feel confident? I've always been bad about feeding off of other's emotions, especially the negative ones. It doesn't help that her face is covered in blood. I don't want to know how it got there or who's it is. I just wish I had been allowed to hide in my room because I don't know how to talk to her like this. How do you talk to a blood covered stranger? Sure, Raven trusts her enough to bring her here, I get that. I just...don't know how to handle this. I've never met a vampire before, only heard about them and none of what I've heard has been good. So why does Raven trust her? Isolt doesn't meet my eyes most of the time which is fine by me since I can't really bring myself to look her in the eye either. When I do glance up, I can see that her features are delicate and feather light, as if she was once a very innocent trustworthy human. But what about now? What if it's only a mask? Adrenaline is racing through my veins as fear surges through my body. I heard they move really fast. What if she decides to hurt one of us? I try to be polite, really, I do. I voice a greeting to her though I know it's missing genuity. I'm sure she can see right through it but she murmurs a reply as she looks to Raven, wondering where to go. Raven looks over at me, explaining something about how our blood tastes bad and Isolt wouldn't do that. My eyes widen in surprise that Raven would know that but I guess Isolt and she talked about it before they got here or something. She wouldn't lie to me, right? After a moment of consideration, I nod. "Oh...okay." I say softly, glancing back at Isolt as I gulp. I want to trust her, I do, but I'll have to get to know her first. Raven gives Isolt directions around the house to clean up and Isolt moves past me. I tense automatically, spinning my head to listen as she murmurs something softly to me. My own face falls, catching the upset in her voice. I guess I offended her by asking. Regret washes over me as I look back at Raven. She gestures for me to follow her to the living room so I go at her heels, hugging myself as she adds logs to the fire in the fireplace and the room heats up instantly. I offer her a small smile of thanks when she looks my way, grateful for her reassuring words and her mere presence that makes me feel more safe. As she takes a seat, I go to the couch and do the same, drawing my legs up to curl them under me. Her couches are so comfy. She looks a little kinder now which I'm glad for because I didn't like the stern look she had on her face when I was talking to Isolt. I guess I did something wrong by asking but it was the first thing that came to mind. I guess I'll have to learn to keep those things to myself from now on. I listen attentively as Raven tries to explain the situation. My eyes widen again. A new vampire? I guess that would be scary. And she mentions that she's alone. That strikes a cord. My lips draw down into a worried scowl as my brow furrows together and I look toward the fireplace. "I'm sorry....I didn't know." I murmur softly, feeling very much like I was mean to her. I glance back over at Raven. "I'll try to be more careful, I promise." I try for a brighter tone. My eyes hold what I hope is reassurance in this.  |
