Amsterdam, Faith And Van

[Faith]

"Van?" she looked at him for a minute.Was he jeaous ? she thought No now wasn't the time to think of something like that.We need to consentrate on the task at hand she warpped her arm around him and walked together.She begain to talk
" Now later Drake is going to make so type of speech to honor the guest for coming to the ball you and I are to stand next to him as he speaksso we can get a good look at the crowd. Now I dont understand you tatoo but it might come in handy at then any other thought you want to add to this through it in now... "

[Alterna X]

Van very much didn't want to explain what was behind his tattoo- for it might explain other motives of his own. He dipped his head and nodded.
"I got it...just let me know when this little speech is taking place." he looked up at her. "I want to explore a bit."
He said it as if he were asking for permission.

[Faith]

She knew in his own way he was ask permission but why?
" You do that and I'll do my own little investgation meet back here in 45 minutes"Then she remember"just to tell you no one knows we are his body guards so... act like a guest"

[Alterna X]

Van looked around while Faith started to dart off. He saw many figures- masked women of all sorts. If he could deal with one vampire...might as well test his luck with the others :3

though none were as regal as the one he had his sites on (faith)

[Faith]

Drake saw faith without her strange little companion,He once again excussed him self to get to her. "Faith ,My love may I'll be honest with you, You have changed sense the last time we were together,But for the better"

she blushed"Thank you,but somethings never change though." They shared a secret joke, giggling a little
"Do you still sing"
She paused"Haven't done it in awhile"
"Will you honor me with a song,Its my... birthday of sort"
"Is that A command" raising her eyebrow
"only if it will make you do it"
"Fine, anyway it's for any old friend right"
He offered her his arm "The oldest"he stated
She looped her arm in his,he lead her to the small stage.Then she turned to him"only one song"
The light dimed and the only bright one was on her.She begain the song acapella,then the band joined in. The way she sang was so light and powerful.She looked at Van (as if the song was being sung for him not Drake) and close her eyes.



The Lyrics
You are an obsession
I cannot sleep
I am a possession
Unopened at your feet
There is no balance
No equality
Be still
I will not accept defeat

I will have you
Yes I will have you
I will find a way and I will have you
Like a butterfly
A wild butterfly
I will collect you and capture you

You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be
You are an obsession
You're my obsession
Who do you want me to be


I feed you I drink you
My day and my night
I need you I need you
By sun or candlelight
You protest you want to leave
Stay there's no alternative

Your face appears again
I see the beauty there
But I see danger
Stranger beware
A circumstance in your naked dreams
Your affection is not what it seems

[Alterna X]

Van looked right at her as she started singing. The melody wrapped around his ears, and drew him in. He couldn't help but look down as her gaze met his. He was deep in thought...

What should I do?
Should I tell her my true feelings?
.....And risk hurting her in the process?
I'm not afraid of her knowing my feelings (because Im sure its mutual)...
but afraid of what could become of me.
I can't become to intouch..
I can't

The last words echoed between his ears as Faith's song continued. He looked up at Faith through the audience that was Drake and about 300 (what seemed to be) people. Faith was glowing in her spotlight.

Should I? he was trying to communicate with her this time. But it seemed to have no effect by her expression. He walked out of that area for a second to a small, shadowed corner. He waited.............

[Faith]

When the song ended everyone claped but she heard a voice (Vans).
"Should I" his last words was like a flame comsuming her thought . She saw him leave the area, She had to know what he meant . She couldn't consentrate she had to know! She excussed herself from Drake and walked over to the area to where he was.

[Alterna X]

Van had been engulfed in the shadows when he met Faith's eyes, burning.
He sat himself on the ground, his arm hanging over his bent knee, his hat on the ground. He looked up at her silently.



(btw, my sister told me to go anorexic and that I am going to be fatter then her at any moment. When she KNOWS I only eat about one meal a day because I am concerned with my weight and she KNOWS I am very self conscious about that stuff. God, I swear she's bipolar. Kayti heard her.)

[Faith]

She dropped to her knees in front of him. She leaned in and brushed her hand over his face. She eyes sinrce and loving. "tell me"she asked searching in his eyes "please" she was not the normal faith not proud,silly or numb but truly asking.



...end..for now
