Change of Habit [Open]

[Min]

"I have no idea," Min replied, " you're the veteran here. You tell me."

She couldn't fully wrap her mind around Dimitri's power but, Min understood it enough that she could respect it. She still like hunting humans and felt strongly that she was only acting out what nature had intended. Min smiled softly at the memory of Sasha trying to convince her to go vegetarian. Sasha... Min's mind soon thought of Courtney and she growled under her breath.

"Dimitri," she asked hesitantly, " what does Courtney want from you?" Min wanted to know what he thought about that whole situation.

[Dimitri Dragonov]

Dimitri's whole body froze at the question. He kept his breathing low. "You know what happened when I was with Sasha making sure that she wasn't double teamed by Victoria and Courtney. Well ... You know the rest of the story. I honestly think she wanted to steal me from Sasha." He paused at that. "And you ..." he turned to Min with a half hearted grin. "I find her vile and disturbing." He lowered his eyes to the ground angry.

[Min]

Min looked at Dimitri slightly taken aback. She wasn't looking to compete for love with a psycho vampire. Well, at least Dimitri isn't interested in her, she thought, But who is to say a week from now he won't be? In Min's experience, the male vampires she had met had frequently changed their sexual preferences. They didn't like to be tied down. Min understood that, she was hesitant about that factor as well.

"Well, that makes both of us," Min said smiling sadly.

[Dimitri Dragonov]

Dimitri looked up with a grin. "Well ... why don't we try finding something more to your taste?" He asked gazing into her eyes, they set off a glow. He caught the scent of two humans in the forest. He began to run towards them with speed.

[Min]

Min looked at Dimitri wide-eyed.

"You can't do that! I won't let you!" she exclaimed in shock. Min refused to let Dimitri taint his morals for her sake.

[Dimitri Dragonov]

Dimitri stood there calmly. "Its ok." He whispered. "I do what you do ... or at least did. Kill humans who deserved it." The memory flashed after him in a second. "Would you like to hear how it began?" he asked.

[Min]

Min was still very insure and honestly, cautious.
She was hoping that Dimitri wouldn't taint her pure-like image of him.
But, she saw a flicker across his face that intrigued her.

"Yes, I would love to hear about you're past," Min said.

[Dimitri Dragonov]

Dimitri chuckled at this. "Well let me think back ... It was about a year or two after I was changed." He said sitting down on a large rock formation. "I was withdrawing a hefty some of cash from the Moscow Bank so I could go about my "Scouting"." He scratched his chin thinking. "And then a rather large man came in. I thought he must have been on steroids because he was much more muscular looking than I was. He carried with him a large rifle that he began firing in the air. He seemed to be wanting to rob it. The people had lost their liking for us a while ago. So I didn't answer their pleas of help. I began to walk out after receiving my money. He got angry yelling at me, 'I'll kill them if you don't try and stop me' I laughed at that and kept walking ... until he grabbed one of his hostages a woman, with a small boy holding her hand. I didn't think he would do it.

Dimitri paused a moment. Taking in a deep breath, then continued. "But he did ... It made me so mad seeing him kill an innocent woman and a boy no more than the age of 7. In my anger I roared at him and with a quick swipe I ripped out his throat. He stood still as i drank his blood. Fully drained him. Then I disappeared to here." He waited for Min to react.

[Min]

Min stared at Dimitri in shock for a few second before she recovered herself. Somehow she couldn't imagine him ripping out the throat of anybody but, Min didn't doubt his capability of doing it.

"That's certainly an intense story," she said. Min smiled inwardly at her own memories.

"Did you ever find out the people's reaction to what you did?"

[Dimitri Dragonov]

Dimitri looked to the ground.

"Yes ... They hired the Volturi to kill my Uncle ..." Dimitri paused for just a moment. "They said someone had to pay ... I didn't know about it till I there was nothing I could do."

[Min]

Min's eyes flashed when Dimitri mention the Volutri.
But when he was finished, she lowered her gaze and mumbled, "I'm sorry."
It was never easy for any vampire to lose a loved one.
Especially, when they felt it was their fault.

[Dimitri Dragonov]

Dimitri rushed to Min hugging her tight. He just felt like not talking and just holding her.

[Min]

Min hugged Dimitri tightly back. His warmth was comforting as his story reminded her of her own troubled memories. Min inhaled Dimitri's scent deeply and sighed. It was the first time in a long time that she had felt at peace.

[Dimitri Dragonov]

Dimitri rested his head on Min's shoulder. "I don't mind hunting them." By them he was referring to the humans.

"What do you want to do?" he asked

[Min]

Min sighed. "I don't want you to hunt humans. I'm full, lets just go," Min lied.
She wasn't full by any means but, she wasn't willing to hunt with Dimitri for what she craved.

Min wasn't sure why she didn't want Dimitri to hunt humans. She thought about it throughly while she walked through the woods towards Forks. Min froze.
Its because he was human. He remembers, she thought.

Suddenly, the sky darkened and rain began to fall steady. Min stayed frozen till she was soaked. She was in shock. All of Min's sorrows that she had held in for decades, came pouring out through that rain.
