“So… she tricked you then?” Natalie asked, a frown forming on her lips. It just didn’t seem right for him to think that this vampire really wasn’t going to hurt anyone else and would just feed from him. “Well, I’m glad you managed to get away from her and are safe now.” As he asked her about what got her here, Natalie knew that really it wasn’t anything bad he was doing. After all, he had told her all about how he got here. Still, she nodded, battling away the tears that threatened to form. “It was…” She whispered. “It was horrible… I can still hear everything…” The screams of her family as they were torn limb from limb. 

“Thanks, I am too. It’s a real breath of fresh air being here,” he agreed with a nod. Jonas could tell the topic was already starting to put Natalie in a bad state of mind and now he felt bad for asking about it. “We don’t have to talk about it if you don’t want to. I get how something like that would be a particularly hard thing to get into,” he assured her, his voice still low and gentle as he considered reaching out to touch her arm or shoulder comfortingly, but decided against it in case it would make her uncomfortable.

“Yeah, there was nothing to make sure that she didn’t go feed from other people.” Natalie told him, frowning slightly. “I know it wasn’t your fault, but from what I’ve learned here I know that not all vampires would be happy with feeding from the same person over and over again, no matter how willing the person would be.” She told him, but felt a little bad. Clearly this was weighing heavy on him and she felt terrible to expose this to him. “It was noble of you though.” She whispered. His question made her freeze, and her heart started to pound in her chest. Of course he would ask why she was here. It was a normal question since she as a human was a rarer sight around here. “I uh… um… I was attacked… by a werewolf.” She whispered, looking down. 

“Yeah, I know that about vampires now, but she was the first vampire I had ever met and I think she knew that so she just kind of let me believe what I thought made sense. But you live and you learn,” he sighed with a shrug before noticing her distressed reaction to his question. He had definitely hit a nerve with that one. “Oh my god, really? That must have been terrible, I’m sorry,” he said sympathetically, his voice only a step above a whisper, almost as if talking about it quietly would make it easier to talk about for Natalie.

“But… that’s insane.” Natalie whispered, shaking her head. “She was a vampire. And I don’t know much about them, but I’m learning. But what I do know is that most of them wouldn’t be happy with just one person giving them blood, no matter how willing. How do you know she wouldn’t have just turned around and go out and feed from others too?” Natalie asked, looking at him and suddenly feeling very bad for everything he went through. His heart had been in the right place, but it hadn’t seemed to matter. He should have thought of himself more. And now he was here and hurt and on the run because of the situation his big heart got him into. “I think I would have run away.” Natalie told him, casting her eyes down for a moment. Vampires weren’t the creatures she feared, that was werewolves, but she was sure that if she had met vampires in a different way than the one that she did, she would have run away screaming. “Yeah, I think some food could do you some good.” Natalie followed after him. “It’s okay, I was never too much of a chatterbox, but now it seems I am even less so.” She bit her bottom lip and looked away. 

“Wishful thinking, I guess. It was pretty naive of me, in retrospect,” he answered simply. “You’re right though, I don’t know that she didn’t just go out and feed from others when I wasn’t looking,” he agreed, though the thought made his heart sink into his stomach since it hadn’t even crossed his mind before. He really had thought that his being consistently available would have limited Grace’s urges to go feed from other people. “Well, you’ve heard pretty much my whole story. Do you mind if I ask what yours is? Like, how you ended up here?” he asked as they walked, a little tired of hearing himself talk and, though she said she wasn’t a chatterbox, he did still want to know what had brought Natalie to Drummond’s, or anything else she wanted to talk about.

Natalie blinked when he laughed, the sound causing her to come out of her thoughts. She realized she had called him stupid, but at least he wasn’t angry with her. In fact, he seemed amused. “That was…. big of you.” She almost wanted to say stupid again. He had been her living feed bag and she had used him. She frowned, not liking to think how easy it would have been for the vampire to kill him by sucking him dry. In fact, he looked a little weak and drained already, and he was away from her now. “It wouldn’t have benefitted you, though.” Natalie told him, frowning slightly. “I would have ran away. Especially given how dangerous the supernatural can be.” Truth be told, she trusted the vampires more than the werewolves, she was friends with a few of them here. “Well, you should probably get some water and food in your system. Do you want to go to the cafeteria?” 

“Yeah, I didn’t gain anything from it except peace of mind from knowing Grace wasn’t out hurting other people. I know, it’s kind of ridiculous but that’s just kind of the way I tend to think things through.” He shrugged again and brought a hand up to rub the back of his neck with an almost embarrassed chuckle. “I put so much thought into making sure everyone else is okay that I tend to forget about myself altogether,” he admitted a little sheepishly. He drove himself crazy with that part of himself, and seeing as he was aware of it he always thought he should be able to stop himself from doing things like this, but he never had been able to figure out how to do that. “I wouldn’t blame you or anyone else for running away from something like that, it was pretty bad,” he told her understandingly before putting a hand to his stomach when she mentioned food. “You know, that’s probably a good idea,” he agreed with a nod. “I feel like I’ve been doing most of the talking, I’m sorry if it’s boring you,” he apologized as he slipped his hands in his pockets and started walking. He didn’t usually talk about himself so much and especially not about what happened with Grace because he was sure anyone else would think he was crazy, but being in essentially a supernatural safe haven made it easier to get it off his chest...though he still felt bad for hogging the conversation.

“I hope so too… from what you’ve told me, it doesn’t sound like you will be too safe if she shows up.” Natalie murmured, at least understanding the weight of the situation he was in. But when she asked why he didn’t just leave when he found out what she really was, she could tell that she had struck some kind of nerve. Or at least asked a question that he seemed to ask himself many times since it had all started. “She was already hurting people when you found out?” Natalie asked, frowning and still not understanding why that hadn’t been a red flag for him. “Why didn’t you leave when you first found out that she was a vampire… a mythical and scary creature?” Hadn’t he, as a human, found that beyond scary? She hadn’t reacted well to the discovery of the supernatural, but things hadn’t worked out when she learned about it considering she was suffering from a werewolf attack. “You were extremely selfless…. but yes, very stupid.” She nodded, though her voice was gentle. He seemed like he just cared for everyone else so much. 

Jonas couldn’t help but chuckle a little more genuinely when Natalie agreed with him and also said that he was stupid. The gentle, almost careful way she said it helped it not feel like she was rubbing it in. “I figured she deserved the benefit of the doubt. Like I said, she hadn’t done anything to hurt me personally, and I figured if I was desperate for a food source, it might lead me to do things that could hurt others too. It was just a more severe consequence in her case. So I thought if I could help and give her a constant and reliable source, it would benefit pretty much everyone in the long run,” he explained before sighing heavily. No amount of wishful thinking like that would ever have changed a thing about what happened. “And finding out about her being a vampire took me a little while to get used to, so it wasn’t like I found out and just immediately accepted it, but it was also one of the most interesting things that had ever happened to me, so I kind of wanted to see where it would go,” he added with a slight eye roll at himself, knowing now that the situation being interesting really had not been worth sticking around for.

“I… I didn’t know you could even do that.” She murmured, bitting her bottom lip. This whole world, this world of the supernatural had been opened wide after the attack that she somehow survived. Natalie still had no idea how it had even happened, what had aligned in the universe to allow her to live. But now she knew all about the creatures that lurked in the shadows and she wasn’t exactly excited with all of the new knowledge. “That was noble of you.” She told him, thinking of how many people he had probably saved. “But… if you knew she was a vampire, how come you stayed with her?” Natalie still didn’t understand how he hadn’t gone running for the hills in fear. “I’m human too.” Natalie hadn’t come here knowing what this place was. Unlike him, she had been brought here. But it seemed that they were both somehow safer here, despite the fact that they were human and surrounded by supernatural creatures. “If she hurt you by feeding from you so often, how come you offered to continue to let others feed from you here? You know you could make it stop.” Or, at least she hoped that he would be able to. 

“Well, she hasn’t showed up here yet, so I’m just hoping that lasts,” he added with another sigh. He nodded his head understandingly at her question, because sometimes he was really kicking himself for not doing just that. He should have bolted from Grace as soon as she told him what she was. “Well, she hadn’t done anything to hurt me yet when I first found out, and I wanted to be sympathetic to the fact that she was just trying to survive. But the fact that she was hurting people to do it should have been a pretty big red flag, I know,” he elaborated with an almost defeated tone. In retrospect, it hadn’t been the smartest thing for him to ignore the very clear warning signs about what Grace what capable of and apparently very willing to do. “I thought by letting her depend on me, it was helping keep more innocent people from getting hurt by her. I was just too focused on keeping everyone else safe that I managed to ignore the damage she was doing to me for too long. Probably a little stupid on my part there,” he commented lightly, almost with a joking tone, albeit a very half-hearted one with how true he actually thought that statement to be.

“You… were in a relationship… with a vampire?” Natalie repeated back, the wonder and confusion on her face acting like he was speaking gibberish to her. How could… a human be in a relationship with a vampire? He rubbed his neck, and she watched him, her eyes still clouded with confusion. “Wait… she hurt you?” That sounded horrible. “How… how did you get away if she would always track you down?” Natalie glanced around suddenly, unsure like he was if the vampire who abused him would track him down and find him here. What would happen to him? Would he have to stay here forever just to be kept safe from the vampire who wanted to find him?

“Yeah, it was kind of a mess. I guess she was a younger vampire because she had really bad impulse control, so when I found out she was a vampire and usually fed off of strangers, I told her she could feed from me so innocent people wouldn’t get hurt,” he explained softly, never being good at talking about what Grace did to him. “Well she had a friend who had been here before and they told her it was a great place to go if any supernatural beings were ever in trouble, and - while I’m just a human - I figured since my situation involved a vampire, I might at least get some help here. And Colton actually had some sort of spell put on the place specifically so she can’t find it. Or me,” he finished before letting out a heavy sigh. Anytime he thought about it, he couldn’t help but worry about the possibility of the magic losing it’s effect and being found again. He didn’t have anywhere else to run after Drummond’s End if Grace caught up with him again.

“Well I was in a really rough relationship with an extremely possessive vampire for a while, so I get my blood drawn because I’m not sure I’m ready to handle being fed from directly again just yet,” he explained as he brought a hand up and absentmindedly rubbed the spot on his neck that his ex used to feed from. “She’s who I’m being kept safe from, actually,” he added with a sigh, an anxious look crossing his face as he thought about what the odds were of him being found. “She never wanted me to leave her, and any time I tried to, she would track me down no matter where I went.”

“So… like the Red Cross blood donation, but on a more… intense level.” Natalie murmured, figuring that it sounded a lot harder. Especially since the clients would be supernatural creatures instead of humans. She felt a little better now that she knew he wasn’t a werewolf and that he wouldn’t hurt her. Natalie didn’t want to run into another one. “Well… you should eat now.” Natalie told him, trying to remember the last time she donated blood. “And drink lots of water.”

“Exactly, that’s a pretty simple and accurate comparison. And you can choose how you want to do it so it’s ideal; you can have your blood drawn by a phlebotomist like at a regular doctor, or you can let a vampire feed directly from you if you’re comfortable with that. I figured it was a worthwhile thing to be a part of while I’m here since I’m being kept safe,” he explained with a shrug before nodding lightly in agreement. “Yeah, I will. The last thing I need to do is pass out right now.”

Natalie stared at him, her eyes wide as she readied herself to bolt as soon as she got a chance. That was, if he was a werewolf since the thought of someone being that sent her whole body on edge. 

But as he spoke, she let out a sigh of relief and leaned against the wall to support herself. He wasn’t a werewolf. She was safe. She was safe for a moment when she was with him. “The blood… donor program?” She asked, understanding the words, but not understanding the meaning. “You shouldn’t donate blood on an empty stomach. That’s… that’s dangerous.” She murmured, trying to wrap her mind around what he was telling her. 

“Yeah, it’s something they have here at Drummond’s. It’s for anyone who needs blood either as sustenance or because they’ve been injured, it just depends. I think it’s primarily for vampires to be able to feed safely though,” he explained, trying to make it sound as mundane as possible to hopefully freak her out less. “I know I should have eaten first, but I haven’t given blood in a while so I was a little rusty and forgot my old habits. I used to be a donor for one particular vampire a while back,” he elaborated with a small shrug.

“Yeah, it’s nice.. I haven’t been a wolf long enough to really know how to control it, and I’ve never been around other wolves. That’s something that I really hope to find here too..a mentor. You don’t happen to know any wolves do you?” she laughed, only partially joking. “My empath powers though, those are another story altogether. Leave it to me to be saddled with something extra” she sighed, her smile wry. She tilted her head, looking at Jonas curiously. What was his story, she wondered. Why would he want to be a blood donor?

Qhuinn laughed softly at his look of surprise, feeling rather proud of herself. “I dunno..you just had this smart look about you” she replied, her nose crinkling in a grin as she got more excited. It made her feel more comfortable and relaxed, to be talking about her favorite subject with a nice man. One who she could tell wouldn’t try and hurt her. “Okay do me now! What house do you think I’m in?”

“No, I can’t say I do. I’m still getting to know the place so I haven’t had much chance to get to know everyone else and find out what they are yet,” Jonas answered with a small chuckle. “That hardly sounds like something you’d be ‘saddled’ with. That sounds like a pretty helpful extra bonus, if you ask me. But then again, I’m not in your shoes, so I guess it’s not really my place to say,” he commented with a small shrug and an almost apologetic smile, hoping that wasn’t a presumptuous thing to say.

He looked at Qhuinn thoughtfully for a long moment as he tried to figure guess what her Hogwarts house would be when she prompted him. “Hmmm...this isn’t exactly my strong suit. I’d say...Gryffindor or Hufflepuff?” he guessed with little confidence, but enjoying the topic at hand.

“Sorry,” Astrid said, not looking particularly sorry, but still holding out the small cup of orange juice. “Drink this, you need the sugar, not fizzy.” she said as she almost waved the cup towards him. “Tömma. Drink.” she gestured to the cup before setting it on the floor and disappearing. She walked back to where she had gotten the orange juice and grabbed a second cup and a cookie from the plate next to the tray of cups of juice. She walked back to the bathroom and squatted down next to him again. “Here.” 

Jonas reached out and took the cup of orange juice with a sigh, taking a small sip when he was instructed to do so. “Thanks,” he called after her when she started to walk away, not expecting her to come back. He took another sip of the juice and leaned his head back against the wall, more pleasantly surprised than startled when she walked back into the room and handed him a cookie. “Oh, thanks again. I have to remember to do this before I get my blood drawn next time,” he replied gratefully with a small smile before taking a good sized bite from the cookie, closing his eyes with a contented sigh. Yeah, he definitely should have had a snack first.

“You say ‘just a human’ like it’s a bad thing” Qhuinn chuckled softly, kicking her legs lightly under her chair, her Deathly Hallows/Pink Floyd rainbow Converses flashing under the fluorescent lights. “Well I certainly don’t have a problem telling anyone what I am. Hiding it doesn’t exactly make it go away, you know. It’s just my..other powers..that I end to kind of hide. Badly” she smirked. When Jonas admitted to being a Potter fan, she could have hugged him. But refrained because yeah..that would have been weird. It was just so nice to have already found someone she had something in common with. Made her feel like maybe she really did have a chance of making friends here. 

“So what’s your house? No wait..let me guess. I’m usually pretty good at this. Ravenclaw?”

Jonas also chuckled lightly at Qhuinn’s comment about him being human. She had a cheerfulness to her that was kind of contagious and it was helping him feel more comfortable already. “Well, I guess it’s a good thing that you managed to find this place where you shouldn’t have to hide any special powers you have here,” he pointed out with a friendly smile. While not everyone at Drummond’s End seemed like they were exactly in the best condition, he could still tell this place was probably better for them than just about anywhere else in the world.

He raised his eyebrows and his mouth fell open slightly when she guessed his Hogwarts house before letting out a small scoff of disbelief. “Wow, you’re good. I am a Ravenclaw,” he confirmed excitedly, genuinely impressed by the fact that she got his house after barely talking to him for five minutes.

Natalie watched him slowly, still staying back a little. She wasn’t sure who he was… or even what species he was. The fact that he could be a werewolf made her scared. Trying to control her breathing, she held on to the door frame and watched him drink the water and sit down. “G-glad I could help.” Her voice was quiet and a little fearful. “I’m… I’m Natalie. Y-you aren’t a w-werewolf, are you?” 

Jonas looked up at the girl when he heard the nervousness, or it may have even been full-on fear, in her voice. She was clearly uncomfortable, and when she asked her question, he was pretty sure he knew why now. 

“No no, I’m not a werewolf. I’m just a human,” he told her reassuringly, hoping the fact that he wasn’t any kind of supernatural creature might put her at ease. “I’m part of the blood donor program here and I forgot to eat before getting my blood drawn, so it just made me feel sick for a while,” he explained, thinking that her knowing that he was also in a slightly more vulnerable state would possibly make her feel like she had the upper hand, or at least that she didn’t have to be afraid of him.

“Have you read them?” she asked as she looked at him with a smile. “I’m really excited to read them, I hear they really good,” she said as they walked to the library. “Have you seen the library yet, it’s three stories tall!” she said excitedly as she described the library. 

Jonas lit up with excitement when Shelley described the library and let out a small chuckle of disbelief. “Wow, three stories?? That’s awesome, it would take a long time to get through everything in there, so that must be great for anyone here who’s immortal,” he thought aloud while also wondering what the odds were of him being able to get through the entirety of the library. 

“But yeah, the Harry Potter series is great. That’s one I’m always willing to go back and read again if I can’t decide on something new to read. It’s one of my favorites,” he told her with a nod, trying to contain his enthusiasm for the series.
