Let's See What You've Got {Frosty}

[sbs]

Frosty was inshock as they were driving and she was singing, after she finnished he blinked, "Damn... You're good..." He said before looking up, "Lookie here! He said reaching up and pulling out a slipknot CD and showed it to Reina. "It's Iowa... you mind?" he asked her as he handed it to her and kept driving. It was weird, he wasn't fatueged or anything however... he was starting to feel drowzy. "Is it normal to still feel tired?" He asked as he yawned then shook his head.

He pulled over and took off his seat belt. He looked at Reina, "You drive, I may be a vamp but I still feel tried and I don't need to crash the car..." he said as he opened the Door and waited for Reina to get on the driver's side of the car. He was drifting in and out and yawning way too much.

Strands of hair fell into Reina's face as she turned her head towards Frosty, giving him a smile, "Thanks. Been doing that for over...four years now. Ever since I listened to metal I got hooked. If it was a drug I'd be screwed, ya know?" The vampiress laughed, "Hun? It don't matter. Any Slipknot CD and I'm good. Love that band. They're actually the ones that really inspired me to throat sing."

Her expression then changed to worry, "You're tired. I don't think you've been ingesting enough blood. Pull over and let me have a look at you." After Frosty pulled over, Reina reached over with one hand and pressed it against his forehead, waiting for a few silent moments, "Well...you're forehead isn't icy cold so that's a good sign but exhaustion is a sign that you need more blood. I have some bottles of it at my house. Compliments from Grand Master Kang."

They switched sides and she drove off towards her home. Once she pulled up, she looked at Frosty, "Hey. Go sit on the porch. I'm going to put the car not too far from the scene. Be back in a few oh and here," she tossed him a key, "Just go right on in and make yourself comfortable. The blood is in the fridge."

Off she went, making a U-turn and drove down the street...
---
About ten minutes later, Reina returned to the house, "Frosty? You doing alright?" she called out.

[sbs]

A groan came the porch as Frosty was passed out infront of the door with a bottle of blood in his hand that was half empty. He moved in his sleep and fell over with a thud. He came to and saw a pair of shoes. He looked up half asleep seeing Reina, "Hey... Cutie..." he said chuckling a bit as he pushed himself up to his feet and yawned. He stretched blinking a couple times then looking around.

"How long was I out?" He asked handing her the key to her house then taking a sip from the bottle, the red necture traveled down his throat as he winched at the taste. "Never going to get used to the taste..." He mumbled as he yawned agian. He shook his head as he was begining to wake up, "This stuff is better than coffee... joked as he closed his eyes and chucged the rest of it with winced eyes.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina looked down at Frosty with a confused expression but she was completely thrown off when he said "Hey...Cutie..." The female rolled her eyes and chuckled. Poor guy was out of it from exhaustion no doubt. Looks like he hasn't been able to get a decent night sleep for a long time. He can use her bed tonight and she'll sleep on the sofa. "You were out for about ten minutes or so but that won't be enough for you. The sun will be rising in...about two hours but there's nothing wrong with going to bed early."

She nodded towards the short staircase and made her way up towards the second level, "Yeah. I actually do some things to the blood I have. I'll actually heat it up and add some spices. Makes it more tolerable. What's grand is I can have red meat if it's barely cooked. Seared would be the proper word for it."

There was a door covered with pictures of sleek electric guitars and people with Reina. In a few images she actually had an eyebrow, lip and nose piercing! Looks like she got rid of them and for good reason. Stupid infections. What's even worse? She had a mowhak on two of them. Looks like she was into the Anarchist style of clothing before finally dropping it all together, "You can sleep in my room tonight. You'll need the rest and I'll sleep on the sofa."

[sbs]

"Thanks... For everything..." He said giving her a hug then backing up a bit. "Sorry... But uhm.. I gotta do this." He said taking off his hoodie and shirt reveiling his now finally built chest. There were three scars, one over his heart, a slash on his side, and running down his abdomin. Across his pec was the words Pyro tattooed in a jail house style and in green ink. The P was backwards but it didn't matter.

"Not much to look at... If you want me to put my shirt back on I can, I'm just acustomed to sleeping without my shirt on." he explained as he shook his head, "I can crash on the couch, no reason for you to not sleep in your own bed for a guest. He said as he graceously declined her offer for him to sleep in her room. Besides it would feel really weird, and I wouldn't feel right about taking your bed."

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina returned the hug as soon as it was given to her. "No problem, Frosty. I help out as much as I can to those willing to accept it." After he removed his shirt and apologized, she waved her hand, "I've been around men who've worn less and didn't give a damn. You get used to it, especially when band mates have a tendency to wear no shirt on the stage. Gets annoying at times. And you look fine, don't sell yourself short."

"Well...I don't like the idea of you sleeping on the sofa. Just take my bed, alright? I'm used to sleeping on the sofa anyways." Reina shrugged her shoulders and looked down at her watch, "Well. It is time to head off to bed anyways. I'm sleeping on the sofa so...g'night." Reina tossed him a wink and headed off downstairs.

Fortunately she had done her laundry when she woke up early in the evening. Dirty clothing was tossed into the hamper and she slipped into dark blue pajama pants and an oversized T-shirt. Now lying on the sofa, Reina snatched up the blanket hanging over the edge and pulled it over her head.

[sbs]

Frosty shrugged and went through the door holding his hoodie and shirt as he truged toward her bed. He wasn't paying attention and tripped over the edge and fell on the soft bed, the moment his face landed in a pillow he was gone. Snoring lowly as he rolled over where his face was out of the pillow and covered himself with the blanket. Frosty was gone to the world and he didn't care, right now a rhino couldn't even wake him up.

Even though he was asleep he was countinously in thought, he remembered calling her cutie, and it wasn't a lie or anything, she really was cute and he seemed to like her alot. You know what happened the last time... do you want another ex later down the road that hates you for enternety?[/color] He asked himself inside his head he rolled over with a smile on his face. He was growing to like her more by the secon but he figured he's keep that on the down low until she reveiled a sign of her liking him.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina had fallen asleep at this point, dreaming peacefully about a meadow full of adorable rabbits and horses with sleek coats. But then the dream took on a horrid turn. The horses were gone but the rabbits...HOLY SHIT THE RABBITS BECAME GHOULS! They were snarling, screeching and running after a terrified Reina. Fortunately for her...she was woken up by her cellphone.

"UWAH??!!!!" The vampiress jumped up and fell off the sofa. Grumbling to herself, clothing and hair disheveled, she reached up with one ahnd and snatched her cell, "What?!...oh...Huh? Serious?...BAND PRACTICE?! I MISSED IT?! Wait a minute...OH FUCK YOU JONAS! YOU KNOW YOU CAN'T CALL ME THIS TIME OF NIGHT! FUCK OFF!"

She slammed the cellphone down on the table and buried her face into a pillow. Bastard. How dare he wake her up with a false alarm like that?

[sbs]

Frosty rolled of the bed and landed on the ground with a loud thud. He had hit his head agianst a dresser or something, He didn't know he just knew it hurt. He woke up rubbing the back of his head. "Ow! son of a bitch!" He looked around, confused. Where was he? This wasn't his room... This wasn't even his house. Suddenly things started to come back to him slowly. "Oh yeah now I remember..." he mumbled getting up and throwing on his shirt.

He walked down stairs with his hoodie slung over his shoulder. It was about 6 o clock and it was already dark. Frosty look around for Reina but she seemed to be no where around. "Hey, Rei you here?" He called out questioning as he looked around he shrugged and thought he needed a shower. He didn't think she would mind so he headed towards the bathroom.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Well, Reina was finally able to fall back asleep and not have any gruesome dreams involving ghoul rabbits or the like. Instead, she merely dreamed about the things she missed from walking on the beach at sunset to climbing a tree and looking out for miles around. Ah...how she missed the sun. Her peaceful dream was interrupted by an alarm clock going off. With one fist, she slammed it into snooze mode and slowly sat up. What a sight she was!

Her hair was messed up, the large shirt slid off one part of her shoulder. Needless to say, she was a complete mess and a shower was in order. With a fresh towel in hand, she opened the door to the restroom and closed it behind her. Hot water poured down her back before she started scrubbing her head with the Dove shampoo she owned.

Twenty minutes later, Reina emerged from the steamed restroom, clad in a white robe, and actually bumped into Frosty, "Oh! Evenin', Frosty. Glad to see you slept well. If you need to take a shower, be my guest. I'm gonna go get ready. I think it's best if training starts today. The sooner the better." She tossed him a wink and waltzed past him towards her room.

[sbs]

"Cool, thanks." He said and nodded towards her coment of training asap. He closed the door to the bathroom and started the shower up. He undressed and hoped in adjusting the temp to really hot, just how he liked it. He sat there for a minute letting the water hit his head and run down himself before he began bathing. I wonder... How the training is gonna go. I just hope I don't get my ass stomped...[/size][/i] He turned off the water and got out quickly drying off and slipping on his clothes.

He stepped out of the shower using the towel to dry his long hair. He looked around not seeing Reina, "Guess she isn't done changing." he mumbled as he finnished drying his hair and put it up in a pony tail with hair tie in his pocket. Screw brushing it he could do that later, training came first before personal appearance. He just wished he had his Gi pants and not his Tripp pants. Though he could train in his Tripp Pants it was a bitch to do and not a very enjoyable thing.

[†The Blood Countess†]

Reina was upstairs for the past few minutes, getting dressed, and listening to the radio. One station had some good songs playing every so often and he just so happened to run into one of her favorites. "Life is Beautiful" was on and the radio volume was as loud as it could possibly go. Frosty might hear it from downstairs. While getting dressed, the vampiress sang along, stopping every so often to play the world famous air guitar. Now fully dressed in baggy pants with straps dangling from large pockets, a black tank top with "Avenged Sevenfold" written in neat cursive and a black bandanna with bleach marks covering her hair, she opened the window to her room to take a look outside.

It was then her worst nightmare came to life...of all songs to play was "I Kissed A Girl" by Kate Perry. The shocked female went into a frenzy at this point. Her head banged against the window as she snapped herself back in to shut off the radio, "SHUT THE FUCK UP, KATE PERRY! YOU FUCKING LESBO!" WHAM! Reina slammed the radio but the song still played! What the fuck?! She tried changing the station and no luck! Was her radio possessed?! This was embarrassing! What if Frosty hears this shitty song?!

...screw it.

WHAM!!! Reina ended up smashing her radio with a hammer. She's been meaning to get a new one anyways since it kept jamming...AND THAT SONG WAS STILL PLAYING! Fuck it. She kept hammering the piece of technology, finally killing it off for good. "Oh thank God. Thank God." And off to the trashcan it went.

Slightly pink in the cheeks, she walked downstairs and walked past Frosty to snatch a bottle of blood, "Fucking...lesbian...needs to die." She muttered.

[sbs]

Frosty had a grin on his face as he shook his head. He had heard everything that had happened and the radio was proof. "Don't like the lesbo theme song eh?" Frosty laughed, "I don't blame you. She went to freaking project revolution Tour and she wasn't even rock. Dumb bitch god do I hate that woman." He stated as he slipped his shirt on and scratched his head.

"So, when do we start doing this?" he asked, it didn't matter to him really. He could wait for a while but he was just curious. He walked to her fridge and grabbed a bottle of blood. He held it up infront of Reina and asked for premission then opened the bottle and took a couple of swigs. His face squished up in grimesh. He'd never get used to the taste.

[†The Blood Countess†]

"Oh bloody hell don't even get me started. She ruined the concert for me. When I heard she was going to it? I said 'fuck it' and stayed home. There was no way in hell I was going to put up with a few minutes listening to her." A shiver shot down her spine and she glance down at the bottle filled to almost the top with blood. Eh. Might as well. The female leaned back her head and started to down the blood. One might think she'd at least take a break but she didn't until it was completely emptied.

"No worries, love. You'll get used to it. It will take time but...you'll adjust to this new...'food'." She shrugged and closed the fridge, "Well. I think it's best if you and I head off towards the dojang not too far from here. You should meet Grand Master Kang and have a few words with him. He's close to one thousand years old and will help us figure out what you should learn. Though...the first one should be blocking out a few things from your mind. Come with me."

Reina motioned for him to follow her towards the fireplace. Sitting next to it, she waited for him to sit across from her before continuing, "The first thing you've got to do is set up barriers within your mind that will block out thoughts. What people fail to realize is that it's easy to pick up on what they are thinking and you have to put up a shield. The way to do this is to imagine thick walls around your head. It will make it easier to shield not only others thoughts from you but your own from your enemies. I want you to try to set it up and I'm going to attack you mentally. Prepare yourself, Frosty."

[sbs]

Frosty nodded and closed his eyes, He had easily built up walls around his heart so that he wouldn't be hurt anymore but his mind he didn't even think about. He consentrated but not to hard, just like meditation in Tae Kwon Do. He was preparing himself, every random thought being cleared out of his head until his head was quite. No plans russling around, no Ideas, no questions, nothing. Just quite...

He sat there waiting for something, anything but he didn't feel anything, either it had worked or she hadn't done anything yet. And then it happened, it felt like something bumped agianst him. There was nothing in his head, no voice or anything just a bump. Maybe it had worked? Or maybe it was just his imagenation. He'd find out eventually when Reina said something.
