New Office (Seth)

[iris]

Iris was standing inside of an office. Her office. She shook her head, she couldn't believe that this office was actually hers. Not that she wanted an office. She never had, she had never even wanted this job but Seth had made her take it. She sighed a bit. She had decided to come in today and set everything and yell at Seth for making her do this in the first place, but first. The Set up. Iris and Seth's office's were right next to each other and since she didn't hear him in there she presumed it wasn't. So she had to let the decorating begin.

She walked in further, her high heeled boots making no noise on the plush carpet that was the color of a purple like red. It wasn't exactly pretty but it wasn't exactly ugly either. She turned and closed the door before walking in further again as she held a box and put it on the desk and pulled off her leather jacket and draping it on the leather swivel chair that was behind the desk. Iris almost sat in it but she wanted to look around a bit more.

She crossed the room over to the book case which had a lot of books about vampires about the covens and about how a lot of them work. Iris would probably peruse them for her own gain later. Knowing how to work the other covens would be really handy when it came to wanting to know how to kill all of them. She shook her head as she ran her fingers over the binding of one of the books, then she turned pulled up her black jeans and pulled down her black corset covered in roses and crossed back over to the desk. She pulled out a container full of pens and placed it on the desk, then she pulled out a little journal and stuck in the one of a the drawers of the mahogany desk and locked it with the key that she now wore around her neck.

There wasn't much else in the box, some legal pads which she just put out on the desk and laptop she bought recently just to see if she could stay consisting with the ever changing times. She hadn't even set the damn thing up yet but she could probably get Serenity to do it for her, she would ask Seth but he would probably do something stupid like set her password as his name or something just to piss her off knowing that there was no way that Iris would actually be able to know how to fix it. He was a jack ass that way. The thought made her smile a bit as she took the the last thing out of the box.

Her two ivory stakes on velvet that were to be mounted on the wall. Iris took off her boots and grabbed the leather swivel chair over to the wall stood up on it and then banged a nail into two parts of the wall without a hammer. A vampires Strength could be completely phenomenal sometimes. She smiled and mounted the stakes up there as a symbol. A symbol of what she did now, not that anyone really knew that or anything.


She wasn't broadcasting it. The only person she had told was Serrie, and that was because she was her best friend. She shook her head and then stepped down from the chair and put the chair back by the table, then she heard the door slam next to her office and Iris grinned a bit and then left her office and and knocked on Seth's door figuring it had been him who had gone in there

"You suck!! Just so you know!!"she grinned and went back to her office and closed the door behind her just because she felt like pushing his buttons for making her do this. She never wanted this and now he was never going to hear the end of it which sounded like pretty much a fair trade to her.

Seth didn’t mind the big room he got at the house he was the foster for. Technically he could stay at the Fortuna house and he should, but he often times slept here. The girls were older and could handle being on their own, they didn’t really need him. But he liked being here so he could keep an eye on Serrie. Good Goddess Serrie….she had given him the biggest heart attack his undead heart had ever experienced. He hadn’t expected her to go missing, and knew it was his fault. He hadn’t been keeping a close enough eye on the witch he protected, just as he had protected her grandmother and mother before her. SO now he was making a point to sleep here at least three nights a week, so he could be here.

Even if he had his own house in another district.

It made him feel better to know she was right there down the hall, as it had back in Fells Church. That was why he had given her that apartment to live in. He felt better knowing she was safe, he had failed her mother but he wouldn’t fail her. He would keep her safe. Besides, she needed to be a child for once and when he had come here she had been doing the shopping for food, the cleaning, everything a foster should have been doing. Hence why he lost a bit of control over his monster and had killed his predecessor. What? Serrie’s safety was important and that meant the position was open. Problem solved.

So that was why he slept in the much smaller rooms that night. He stood and shook out his shaggy blonde hair, leaving it messy and tossed about rather than actually combing it. He didn’t care enough to look presentable, he was just doing this to go down town and work on some paperwork at his office. And bug Iris. A huge, wolfish grin spread onto his lips at that thought. Bugging Iris was one of the highlights of his day because she was so easy to bug. The two of them acted like siblings. All the same he respected the other vampire. After Serrie had disappeared, the other woman had become a deadly force in her own right, and that was one of the reasons—on top of her having one hell of a level head—that he had made her the second in command of his clan.

It bugged her to no end, which just made it more amusing for him. What? He could be a child from time to time if he wanted. Ignore the fact that he was nearly three hundred years old. Because he wasn’t looking to be impressive, the vampire simply slipped on black loose jeans and a black tee shirt over his head, it fit too tightly for his laid back feel but he was feeling too lazy to dig around for another shirt to replace it. It would just have to make due for now. Besides, he wanted to get moving while the sun was still down.

That settled he made his way out of the room and down the hall. Most fo the girls were in by now, the other witch was but she was pregnant so that was a good idea if you asked him, and…he smiled a bit as he peeked open another door. And Serrie was asleep. He leaned on the doorway a bit, like the paternal figure she had never had. That was part of the reason she kept him so close, he acted like she was his daughter, because he knew that was one thing that she needed to recover from losing the only parent she had ever had. He was glad to see a smile on her face as she slept, and walked over to her, kissing her forehead softly. She was asleep, so she couldn’t pick up on anything with her Sight, she had informed him of this years ago, and he couldn’t help the little show of affection when she couldn’t see it.

He had to be a bit tougher on her when she was awake, or she’d never get through the shit she went through. Sad but true.

He shook his head and left her room, closing the door again and checking in on the other girls before he left the house he watched over. It was a quick walk, made even quicker by his easy speed…Seth wasn’t the fastest vampire he had ever come across for nothing. And then he entered the Fortuna house, stopping briefly to wonder at the fact that this was his and so was the clan that inhabited it. It was so strange after feeling so grateful to another clan for so long… But he was glad of the feeling, it was a good feeling in his opinion. A happy one. He was responsible for helping other vampires that wanted to be good as he did. It made him feel a bit better about himself and helped him put a cage on that damn monster of his. Even if the bars were a little bent…

He shook his head, and aggravated with thoughts of that stupid monster of his slammed the door behind him on accident rather than closing it quietly which was his preference. He looked up when the door was knocked on shortly after his entrance and chuckled when he heard Iris tell him that he sucked. She was still trying to pay him back for what he had done to her. He shook his head and waited until he heard her go back to her office before he entered, without knocking, to reply to her. ”Yeah I know, its part of being a vampire. You suck too” he said, pretending to be serious but the smirk ruined it shortly after speaking. Yeah it was a dork comment, but it was better than commenting on her very childish seeming insult, wasn’t it?
