“Yeah, I know, it’s weird,” Jessica said with an embarrassed laugh. In hindsight, she should have try to set up a post office somewhere instead of knocking on stranger’s doors like a lunatic. God, she’s so dumb. Still, she plunges on. “In the middle of nowhere, there’s not much of way of jobs that can be all nighters. But I can’t go out during the day, so I’m just making the best I can get.”

"Hey, no judging on my part."

Maybe some people are night owls. That's what he assumes when she says she can't go out during the day before he thinks about it a little more closely.

"Sun allergy?"

[lilredvamp]

Jessica bark out a laugh. “Oh, you have no idea. I burn up so badly.”

She’s not one to hide her vampirism. Back home vampires been out of the coffin for years now. But here is not home and she’s still a little shy on revealing it. But she does plan to come out…eventually.

“Maybe I should make a post office?” She said, tentatively. “I’m kinda pulling things out out of my ass here. I don’t know what I’m doing.”

"Hey, you and me both."

They were in the same boat there. He laughs a little and then steps aside.

"Did you want to come inside for a second instead of standing out here? No use in just haunting the doorstep."

Jessica paused for a moment, recognizing an invitation. “Sure,” she said with a small smile. “I guess I can hang out for a bit.”

Inside the home seemed like any other house here: rustic and clearly used. She wondered what happened to the people who first built this house. “How long have you been here?”

[webshootings]

"Uh, not too long. Like at all. Still getting used to this place. Still waking up and not realizing that I'm not where I was."

His nightmares had been mostly quiet for a few weeks now but he knows that they're bound to return sooner rather than later. He shuts he door behind her.

"I'm Peter. Did I say that already? If I did, sorry."

[lilredvamp]

“Yeah, it’s the same with me. I wake up and wonder why it’s so cold in Louisiana until I remember where I am.”

Her nightmares was always on the monster came into town. She will never ever forget the terror she felt when the sky turned green.

“Oh gosh, I’m so sorry, I didn’t say my name. I’m Jessica.”

"Nice to meet you."

He nods, stepping further into the beat up house. It's dark and there's not a lot of furniture but he does offer her a chair that he'd found.

"I'm from New York. Never been down to Louisana but I've heard there's good seafood. And, uh, that it's hot."

He doesn't know a lot about the place, it seems.

[lilredvamp]

Jessica can’t help but laugh. “Oh. Hot doesn’t even cover it. I heard it being described as someone soaking a towel in hot water and slapping it on your lungs. It’s ain’t the heat that kills ya, it’s the humidity.”

She tugs on a strand of dirty red hair. “Still, from the Big Apple? That’s a girl’s dream, especially if she’s from the middle of nowhere, Louisana.”

[webshootings]

"Yeah, it's...well, it's definitely big. Lots to do, lots of people, lots of chances to get run into when you're just trying to take a walk."

There was always someone out at night in New York.

"It's the city that never sleeps for a reason. But I would recommend sleep. It's kind of needed to deal with some of the people there."
