So..now what?

Stacey looked up to him. "No, I`m fine. He`s not an active one, he`s a spy." She explained, sensing his double meaning. "Besides, have I not proved to you that I can take care of myself?" She asked, flashing a Blink-Blade before quickly puting it back up her sleeve.

[Seth Lockhart]

Seth simply smiled and looked out the window, his leg bouncing up and down in a cadence.

[potter_fan122]

((Could you rephrase that please?))

[Seth Lockhart]

((HAHA. Sorry. HE...))

[potter_fan122]

(( =]  ))

Stacey listened as she heard Seth tap his foot. "Just out of curiosity, what did you mean yesterday when you said something about my ring?" She asked shyly.

[Seth Lockhart]

Seth looked over, taken out of his trance. "What? Oh, about saying it needed something?"

[potter_fan122]

Stacey nodded slowly and bit her lip. She felt her cheeks turn bright with blush. At least her eyes couldn`t get any pinker...

[Seth Lockhart]

He pulled a small sapphire from his pocket and held it out to her. It sparkled as the light reflected off it from the window, a blue light on the wall. "I just thought this would go with it. It would certainly compliment your ever changing eyes." He looked at her eyes, figuring out that she was very nervous. "This was my great grandmothers. I have no use for it, so I figured that I might as well give it away to someone worthy..."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey stared at the sapphire. "Seth, I could never... I`m so sorry I made you think that..." Her voice trailed off as she tore her eyes from the beautiful gemstone. " couldn`t ever hurt Aiden like that again, it wold kill me." She explained lovingly as she remembered that apinful time that was only about a month ago.

[Seth Lockhart]

"I understand. And I knew you'd still say no." He pulled a chain from his pocket and his wand. He poked it at the Sapphire to make a small hole through it and stuck the chain through. He handed her the chain, silver, and smiled. "You don't have to wear it, but I want you to have it."

[potter_fan122]

Stacey shook her head. "Seth, I can`t. I love Aiden. Taking it will make me feel like I`m cheating on him." She saod softly and sincerely. "It really is a beautiful stone, you should keep it for someone special." Her eyes changed to soft grey.

[Seth Lockhart]

Seth couldn't help it, but he felt a knot in his stomach. "You are special. Not like that...okay?" But in their conversations, Seth had felt kind of attracted to her. He wanted to know her more. She was, indeed, special. He reluctantly took the chain and put it in his pocket. "I have to get going. It was a pleasure to meet your friends." He said, a small back on his face. He slipped on his hoodie and got up from his seat.

Stacey looked down at the table and covered her face with her hands to hide the tears.

Before Seth could leave, Alice blocked him from the door. Her eyes were now their normal, bright reflective blue. "Hey, sorry about that earlier. I hadn`t fed in a while. I`m Alice." She said cheerfully holding out her hand. She had heard his and Stacey`s conversation, but she didn`t tell him that.

[Seth Lockhart]

Seth held out his hand, surprised that she had appeared so quickly. "Um..hello Alice." He said. "I'm sorry, but I have to go...I-have something going on." He lied.

[potter_fan122]

Alice shook Seth`s hand slowly. "No you don`t." She said. "I`m a vampire, remember?" She didn`t know if he knew that or not, but he would now. "Please, don`t go. We can leave here if you want." She said, her eyes flickering to Stacey. "But I would really like to talk to you." She added, turning the full force of her eyes upon him.
