ADA

She had a paper due in five hours and only one of the eight required pages done. It wasn’t that Ada usually put things off-except, well, that she did have a bit of a problem with procrastination-but she just had been having trouble focusing in her room. Coming to the coffee shop for a change of scenery and an excessively large cold brew seemed like a perfect solution until she stood, drink in hand, searching the cafe for an empty seat. Ada spotted two tables being taken up by one person, who seemed to be beginning to condense their belongings to one. She made her way over, ready to claim a table for herself when the girl moving her belongings started to speak, and Ada felt her heart drop at the familiar sound of Allegra’s voice. “Y-yeah,” she stuttered, voice soft and already on the defensive, “it’s me.” She pressed her lips together in a firm line, weighing her options before adding, “Take your time, I’m in no hurry.”

allegra couldn’t help but stare. it was rude, yes, but she had already proven herself not to be kind. she looked at ada a moment too long before she pulled her gaze away, staring down at her belongings in front of her. suddenly she felt uncomfortable. she wished she were anywhere else. more than once, her lips parted, as if she were readying herself to speak, but she found herself unable to say anything. her shoulders fell in on herself and she found herself keeping her gaze down. it was hard. it was stupid and she was stupid. finally, she clenched her jaw and locked eyes with ada. “ you sure you want to sit here ? ” it came out harsher than she intended it to. “ not that you can’t -- ” she shrugged her shoulders “ -- but i don’t know. do you want to sit there ? ” she pulled her gaze away, looking around the coffee shop, searching ( praying ) for another table to have opened up.

allegra had spread her things out on, not one, but two tables. she knew it was rude but when she had gotten at the coffee shop this morning there had been no one else there to take up any space. she just had so much to do and it felt like she didn’t have enough time to do it. as more people came into the coffee shop, she ignored the dirty looks she was getting. wasn’t first come first serve still applicable here ? as more and more people came in, she finally felt abashed enough to start making room for someone else. “ just -- give me a second, ok ? i’ll more everything and you can take that table and -- ” allegra looked up and froze “ oh. it’s you. ” that came out harsher than she had intended and her face flushed red. she scrambled to collect her things up quicker.

「 MARILYN LIMA.  CIS FEMALE. SHE/HER. 」 —  IS THAT ALLEGRA DE BASTIAN I JUST SAW IN FORKS? I SWEAR I HEARD SINK BY NOAH KAHAN BLASTING FROM THEIR HEADPHONES, BUT I COULD BE MISTAKEN. THEY��RE PRETTY GENTLE FROM WHAT I KNOW, BUT I’VE HEARD A RUMOR THAT THEY CAN BE MELANCHOLIC TOO. THEY KINDA REMIND ME OF THE TASTE OF REGRET BURNING YOUR TONGUE. SOFT BEAUTY, ANCIENT AND REGAL. THE FAMILIARITY OF SOMEONE YOU USED TO KNOW.

god if allegra isn’t the saddest bitch you’ll ever meet i’ll eat my own hat

meet allegra de bastian. she was born in the 1600s in italy to a merchant father and a mother from an upper class family. she was content in her life. she aided with her younger siblings, she took care of the house with her mother. all was fine until her father arranged her marriage with the son of a neighbor. it was supposed to be an extraordinary arrangement, but allegra saw underneath his smile and charm. he made her skin crawl with his cockiness and inability for kindness.

her rejection didn’t sit well with him, and what allegra didn’t know was that he was a vampire. he had been turned while off at school, and three years later everyone just thought he grew up. no one knew he was a vampire, of course, not anyone of consequence, but he bit her the day they were meant to be married, and suddenly her life changed.

she fled italy. she spent time in prague and in turkey and she never stayed anywhere too long. the dark cobble stone streets of the old world fit her well. 

she did travel, though. everywhere. she did her best to avoid people, rather people who would want to know her or people who would ask questions. it was lonely and sad, but no words ever fit allegra quite as well as those.

it was in texas that allegra’s world changed. she had tried so hard to avoid others, to avoid getting close and suffering loss. but she fell in love with the flutter of a heart, with a girl who changed her entire world. after nearly two hundred years, allegra allowed herself the soft and gentle touch of someone who cared.

but she ruined it. allegra had promised ada forever and then she got scared. she didn’t want to disappoint the other girl. she didn’t want to not live up to expectation. and so she fled. the girl on the bed was changing into a vampire, and allegra broke not one heart but two that night.

since then, she’s remained alone. it’s what was easier for her. it hurt ( oh, how she hurt ) and she missed ada -- but she made her choices. she chose this life.

verse ideas

canon compliant: allegra is a vampire !! not completely vegetarian, not completely carnivore but somewhere staunchly in between. it mainly relies on convenience. anyways, she’s a nomad. she travels alone. she’s sad and doesn’t have time for people.

modern human au: she’d be a cute human ugh. i just picture her in coffee shops a lot.

college au: anyways if allegra isn’t the most alpha phi character i have ever met -- anyways. human college allegra ?? very sweet, very charming. cares more about helping others than herself. probably is a nursing major. that or early education. i could see either working.
