[frightends]

since   she   was   a   young   girl   ,   gillian   has   always   yearned   to   fall   in   love.   her   aunts   always   filled   their   home   with   stories   &   tales   of   hers   &   sally’s   parents   &   their   romance   ,   &   though   it   ended   tragically   ,   it   was   beautiful   &   something   she   always   wanted   to   experience   for   herself.   of   course   ,   love   with   an   owens   woman   doesn't   come   easy   ,   their   earliest   descendant   having   put   a   curse   on   them   that   would   kill   any   man   that   ever   dared   love   them.   with   that   knowledge   ,   gillian   has   always   looked   for   someone   who   might   be   able   to   withstand   the   curse   ,   though   unfortunately   ,   it   always   led   to   incredibly   terrible   men   with   black   souls   &   shallow   hearts.   for   a   time   she   didn't   think   love   was   meant   for   her   after   what   happened   with   jimmy   ,   &   with   her   sister   now   enjoying   life   with   her   new   husband   ,   she   was   on   her   own   once   again.   thank   god   for   genevieve   turning   up   when   she   did   ,   or   she   might   have   gone   absolutely   crazy   if   she   had   to   deal   with   her   own   sad   thoughts.   their   friendship   has   been   the   balm   she's   needed   to   mend   her   broken   heart   &   they   made   for   an   unlikely   pair.   a   vampire   &   a   witch   .   .   .   it's   not   as   common   as   you'd   think   !   but   gillian   is   happy   all   the   same.   she   finds   herself   thinking   about   her   all   the   time   ,   eagerly   awaiting   her   calls   &   always   dressing   up   anytime   she   goes   down   to   her   work   to   visit   her.   when   she   headed   back   to   massachusetts   briefly   to   visit   her   aunts   ,   they   both   gave   her   that   look   ,   the   same   one   they   give   when   they   see   love   blossoming   between   two   individuals.   what   ?   this   isn't   love   ,   she   tells   them.   this   is   just   a   close   connection   between   two   women.   two   friends.   that   couldn't   be   love   ,   could   it   ?   of   course   gillian   is   quick   to   dismiss   whatever   her   aunts   say   to   her   ,   but   she   knows   deep   down   in   her   heart   that   if   they   sense   it   ,   then   maybe   there   is   some   truth   to   it.   love   ?   could   it   really   be   love   ?   has   she   been   this   blind   all   this   time   that   she's   been   looking   for   her   true   love   in   all   the   wrong   places   ?

laying   on   the   plush   red   couch   ,   she   giggles   as   she   lets   her   legs   rest   along   the   vampire's   lap   ,   trying   to   enjoy   their   evening   &   not   dwell   on   other   thoughts.   blue   eyes   look   up   through   colored   lenses   &   admire   the   way   her   ❛   friend   ❜   seems   to   glow   in   the   dim   lighting   ━━   she's   always   so   beautiful   ,   but   tonight   especially   so.   ❝   you   should   take   a   vacation   &   come   to   new   england   with   me.   ❞   one   hand   reaches   out   to   her   ,   the   pads   of   her   fingers   just   barely   brushing   against   her   arm.   her   skin   .   .   .   cold   ,   but   so   soft   &   smooth.   ❝   i'd   love   to   introduce   you   to   my   aunt   jet   &   aunt   frances.   i   know   they'd   adore   you.   ❞

&   she   means   everything   to   me   ,   gillian   &   genevieve   @slashaer​
