Laurette smiled. Her blood ring grew suddenly cold. She ignored it. She hugged him back though nonetheless. "It's not that it hurts to talk about it.... I just don't get along with the rest of the people in my species.... you know what I mean?" she asked.
Just the Laurette's bracelet which she hated wearing but had to so she could show that she was part of the Jesper family fell to the ground. It was a black J on a red backround. Next to it had small letters that spelled Jesper on it. Along with two fangs on the J and the R in her last name. The red was as red as blood. The black as dark as night. The Jesper family crest was something most people feared for they where among the worst Vampire familys around.

"No," he answered truthfully, "but I can imagine how horrible that would feel." He hugged her tightly for a moment, before pulling back slightly, but still holding her in his arms. He was about to lean down and kiss her when his necklace burned him painfully and he jumped back in surprise and looked around the dark grounds. He was suddenly tense, and his eyes flickered with a slight amount of fear and determination as he searched the grounds. "Not again, dammit," he said, pulling out the charm and looking at it. It was glowing slightly in the heat as it sensed someone from a certain vampire lineage nearby.
The hot glow made it incredibly visible, and right on the charm on a bronze chain was the Jesper Family Crest.

Laurette sighed. "Oh great." she mummbled then turned away. She knew that he had seen the crest. Laurette kept her head turned away. Her ring was freezing the spot it was touching. "I-I should have told you w-what I am..... " she barely muttered. Even though he seemed nice she was still afraid for her life.

"What do you mean?" Romulus asked, looking at the charm around his neck. "This? Yeah, it tends to freak people out, sorry... I have no idea what this J stands for, it used to say the last name of a vampire I killed a few years ago, but it's faded away since then, and I never thought to actually see what it said... It gets really warm when one of them are near, and since they're all out to get me, I take it as a warning..." He looked down on the ground and saw the bracelet she had dropped. Confused, he picked it up and it grew warm in his hand. He held the bracelet up next to the charm and, in realization dropped the bracelet just as quickly. "Dammit," he cursed again, looking up at Laurette. "Jesper? That's the name of the vampires trying to kill me? Well, that's nice to know." His eyes still held the determination they had only a few moments ago, but now the fear had receded. "So, tell me, Laurette... How long were you going to wait before you slaughtered me?" He held a fighting stance, ready for her to attack, or the other way around...

"I wasn't going to." Laurette said. "I've been a disgrace to my whole blood line because I never wanted to kill anyone." She added backing away slowly. She knew that stance and was even more afraid. "I'm not going to kill you but if you killed me my family would be pleased." she said.

A sound came from Romulus' throat that sounded suspiciously like a growl, which would make sense considering what he was. "Pleased? Ever think of the fact that if you were to kill me your family would probably worship you? I mean, think about it, I was ten when I killed that blood-sucker that went after my brother... How many 10 year olds can kill a full grown vampire? But I'm sure you've probably already heard at least parts of it... I don't care if your family does hate you. If I were to kill you right now, their dignity would once again be hit, and they would be enraged, and want even more to find me, kill me, and drain me dry, no matter what laws stand." He still held his stance, not wanting to leave an opening for her to attack if that was her intention. "No, what would please them would be to hear of my death. You could try to kill me now, and if you succeeded- very unlikely- you wouldn't be shunned by them any longer." The determination left his eyes, and now he just seemed tired, as if he had aged ten years in the past five minutes.

Vanessa Jesper or Professor Jesper as she needed to start getting used to walked outside. She saw her younger sister Laurette standing with what she senced to be a werewolf. "Aww Rettie have a little crush on a werewolf? If mother only knew." Vanessa grinned evily at her sister. Her fangs showing very clearly. She looked over at the boy. "Don't worry I won't kill you. I like my job here.... or rather..." she smirked at Laurette, "I will love it." She said then turned and walked back inside the castle.

Laurette glared at her sister as she walked away. She cursed at her just barely loud enough to be heard by Romulus. "See?! Thats what I live with every darn day!" Laurette screamed. She was mad now and it was easy to see. Her fangs had finally showed. "That is what I live with. That is what I want to get away from! Not all Vampires are bad and honestly if I had my choice I would make you kill me. And that is why I befriend everyone except other Vampires because most of my species tells me to get lost and that I am worthless!"

Romulus' stance become tense for a moment when he saw her fangs, but his limbs loosened once her words hit him (and once Vanessa was a comfortable distance away). He sighed and ran his fingers through his hair again. "I'm sorry, Laurette," he said sincerely. "I can't help it anymore... I know the point of this school is to try to extend friendship between the species, but when a whole line of vampires is trying to get revenge by killing you in any way they can- preferebly in a slow and painful way- you tend to have negative feelings about them... I'm still finding it hard to believe that a Jesper, a vampire like the one I killed just four years ago, is kind and wanting to befriend werewolves..."

"I understand that." Laurette said. "But I mean what I said about makeing you kill me. I honestly would anc probably could do it....." she said her voice telling you she meant it. "I know its hard to believe... and if you want you don't even have to talk to me. I can just go away now and get tortured for the rest of my life by the others in my species."

Romulus shook his head. "You're telling the truth," he said incredulously, looking her in the eye. "I don't know why, but I can always tell when someone is lying, even if I barely know them, and you're telling the truth..." He shook his head again, taking a step towards her. He picked up the bracelet as he went. Barely a foot from her, he took her hand and placed the bracelet back on, the cool metal growing warm while he still touched it. Lifting her chin to look him in the eye, he said, "I believe you, and because of that, I wouldn't dare try to hurt you, nor would I let anyone else hurt you if I could prevent that." Before she could respond, he leaned down and gently pressed his lips against hers.

Laurette was shocked. She liked the feel of his soft lips. She kissed him back. That was the last thing she would ever had imagined would happen. They stoped kissing only because they had to breethe. Laurette looked into his eyes and for somereason she no longer felt the least bit in danger.

Romulus grinned as if he knew what she was thinking. "Talk about Romeo and Juliet syndrome... Very few vampires or werewolves will accept this, but I'm finding that I very much don't care at all." He wrapped his arms around her again in a hug.

Laurette smiled. Her fangs had dissapeared. "No they won't like it much.... oh well I honestly don't care what people think."

"Hm, that makes it mutual then." He gently kissed her forehead as a chilly wind blew around the two of them. "Come on, let's go inside... The Welcoming Feast has probably already started."
