Same old, same old

Serenity had had a few bad days of bad luck, but she felt like this luck was about to turn. She had gotten dressed up, still her classical mixture of male and female vibes, and she took one last look in the mirror before heading out. The club was already full of drunks and guys and girls hooking up on the dance floor. She sat down at the bar, leaning her head against her hand and ordering a random drink. At this point she just wanted to forget her brain and let loose. It had been too long, and as the alcoholic taste hit her tongue she sighed after a sip. Being a banshee in Gaia was rough, but alcohol sometimes helped keeping the voices away. However it could not stop the storm that was brewing insider her. She looked up at a pressence near her, that she hadn’t felt in a long time. Serenity turned her face to the guy who had just sat down besides her at the bar and let out a small chuckle as she stirred her drink. ”Fancy seeing you here, pretty boy,” she said with a calm smile on her lips. Auron had been in her life for so long now, and he always seemed to pop into her life when she needed him. He had changed a lot from when he was a witch, but she could still see that insecure guy underneath. ”So, any victims tonight, or are you just here for pleasure?” she asked casually. While he had joined Aero she had joined the Coyotes. They were far from rivals, and operated on different levels, so they weren’t going to get in trouble for talking to each other.

Serenity chuckled to herself and took a sip more of her drink. It had been long since she had heard his old name for her, but it felt nice. Those times they spent together seemed to far away, sitting here at a bar in Gaia, but it was a nice feeling still. She raised an eyebrow at him as he answered her question. ”Mostly? Oh please tell me you are not refering to getting laid as stealing hearts?” she said and cringed at the thought. However she couldn’t help but laugh slowly as he moved his eyes to her once more. ”I’m just here to drown out the voices, and not start a fucking hurricane,” she said biting the inside of her cheek. Auron was one of the few that had seen what had happened when she lost control. Back then it was easier to hide such disasters from the outside world, but now a days it was harder. She had worked hard on controlling her powers. ”Not breaking any hearts, but I might be falling in love,” she said as she emptied her drink and ordered a new round. She took a deep breath and smiled at Auron. ”But it’s not something I can really speak about, so could we just talk about you – you never seem to mind the conversation is about you,” she said with a small laugh.

Serenity smiled at her old friend as he spoke and gave him a playful nudge with her elbow. Raising her eyebrows up and down, like she used to do when he was being too obviously full of himself. His question made her bite her lower lips as she nodded slowly. ”Sometimes it’s hard to differentiate,” she admitted after a short pause. She sighed and looked down as the bartender placed another drink in front of her. ”More dangerous than usual,” she said quietly as she pulled her drink into her hand and taking a short sip. She looked at him with a smile and hoped he would change the subject, but apparently not. Shortly she looked around, making sure they were not in hearing range of any they should be aware of. ”He’s amazing and he fills the void that Charity left behind,” she said with a shy smile looking down at the bar. Charity had been her first love, the first to ever truely understand her and touch her soul in such an amazing way. She had spoken much about her human, and how she had died of what at the time was considered old age. ”But we have to keep it secret – he’s a Serpent,” she whispered leaning closer to Auron. The Serpents and Coyotes were basically sworn enemies as far as gangs went.

”He’s worth it though, and maybe some day things will change … But until that we have to sneak around,” she said with a small smile on her lip. It wasn’t that she hated sneaking around, but it felt unfair not to be able to show off one that you really liked. Especially speaking about that person. It was the worst. Hiding half of your life away like this was eating away at her, but she had to do it. She couldn’t bring herself to loose him like she lost Charity.

Serenity sighed at Auron’s words and nodded. It wasn’t the easiest thing she had gotten herself involved with, but she could feel that it was the right thing to do. She felt happy, even if it meant that down the road she would get her heart broken. His questions made her sigh slightly as she had herself wondered that, but it wasn’t easy to explain. ”Did you know if Christian was worth it?” she asked looking at her old friend with a sad gaze. She shook her head and looked down to her beer bottle once more. ”If he stabs me in the back, then I would have lived happily in bliss – ignorance is bliss, they say, but I feel like I know him,” she said emptying her beer and shaking her head as the bartender offered her more. ”The only thing I need to know is if you will be there to pick up the pieces of me, if he breaks my heart,” she said with a small smile on her lips. Auron had been the only one able to calm her down after Charity, and she wouldn’t even dare to think about what would happen if something happened to the relationship she had with Jamie.
