Like I said, they move around. But I'll be keeping track of where thay are, mostly.
Places they've been:

Xaniela started at his melancholy, even scared tone. "Oh, don't think it's your fault. I'm just not normal, and I can tell most of the time. I just depress myself." She ended her sentence in a huge yawn. "Sorry, getting my blood drawn and falling unconscious a couple of times wears me out- mind if I sleep for a bit? She moved up from her place on the bed.

Jakob He shook his head, then stood. "No Xaniela, it would be good for you to rest." He said, then sat in the chair he'd previously occupied, and watched her curiously, before looking down at his boots again, ashamed at the way he wanted to look at her. He began dwelling in his past, running through it bit by bit as the moments ticked by. He wanted to be as far away from his memories as he could, but they were the only thing to occupy him, so he might as well just deal with the mental stress.

A grateful smile was flashed in his direction. "Thanks." She was prepared to continue, but another yawn split her face and she ended in a wry smile instead. Ignoring the bed, she walked to the center of the room and folded in on herself. Despite her constant fear of having another person be around her when she was unprotected, she was asleep in moments, dreams affected by the minds of people around her, since her mind reading wasn't regulated while she was asleep. As a result, her dreams were constantly vivid and filled with people who were complete strangers.

Jakob He stared at his boots, and blinked. Suddenly he was back in Mistress Hailey's mansion, kissing her passionately. She had just professed love for him, they had been together for three years, and he had secretly had a crush on her from the moment he had met her. Apparently, she had the same feelings for him. So now, on the verge of him needing to feed, teenage passion took hold on their bodies...
But they never got to the fun part. Their bodies being so close, and needing to feed made Jakob's next move predictable...but tragically, not to the young lovers....
A half-hour later, Jakob was weeping over Hailey's pale body. He had phoned the police, and informed them of what had happened an hour after that, and had been tortured for hours on end before being tossed back to the Slave House. Jakob looked over his arms, and the scars that had barely begun to fade there. His chest was covered with even more, and his back could have been from a sub-human creature. It was all the humans could do to him, they had been about to kill him when Hailey's father had stopped it. He had known about their love, and knew that keeping Jakob alive with the memory of what he had done to the man's daughter was punishment enough, if not too much for the young vampire...

Xaniela Xarclemr
Xaniela writhed in her sleep, nightmare tormenting her sleep. These dreams weren't uncommon, but it was so odd to be looking at a girl that way- and the anguish was unbearable. The exceptionally vivid dream didn't want to end- it kept going, until she caught a glimpse of the slave house, from the other side of the bars...and then she woke with a start, shuddering. At least she had gotten enough rest- she felt immensely renewed. But at the same time, she was weak, from shock, despair, and an overwhelming sense of sadness at the dream. Her mind open to Jakob's akin sadness, she closed her mental doors with a slam. Rising shakily, she ran her head through her hair. "That was one hell of a nightmare," she muttered to aloud. Having stood, she rested her head against the wall, trying to prevent the headache that was threatening.

Jakob Jakob stood as she spoke, startled out of his sorrow by her words. "What?" He asked, not knowing that she had been reffering to his memories, but feeling caught off-guard by her words. He shifted nervously on his feet, and looked at the ground, not knowing what he could do to help.

She glanced over at him, suddenly aware again, and answered him. "I had a bad dream. I get strange ones, but this was the worst by far. I'm pretty sure I was in a guy's perspective...anyway, I was- well, there was a girl, and we were pretty all over each other, but then I attacked her- or something. I think I drank her blood. Anyway, I called the police, and told them, and then people torturred me, and the last bit was inside of that slave place, from the other side of the bars." She shuddered at recalling the dream. It wasn't something she usually enjoyed doing. In fact, it was downright horrendous, but there was some sort of weird obligated feeling that was saying she needed to. She didn't recognize it as reading his mind either, although it fit- the X, the blood drinking, all of it. And the bars at the end.

Jakob Jakob's jaw dropped, and he stared at her, in awe, before he snapped his jaw shut and shook his head. He swallowed the dry lump in his throat before he stepped towards her, gesturing helplessly. "I-I...Tha...That happened to me no more than a month ago Xaniela..." He said shakily, looking at the ground ashamed. He couldn't bring himself to apologize, or even explain himself, he just stood there, looking at the tops of his boots.

She moved her head from its spot on the wall, then, trying not to freak out, walked to the bathroom. The itchiness was gone, but she needed something for her hands to do. That and the fact that she didn't see why anyone would hurt Jakob, a fairly gentle spirit. Not that she was entirely opposed to hurting people. Just not the good people. As she slowly drank the water, hands shaking to splash water down her shirt even as she drank, she walked back out of the bathroom. Water gone much sooner than she intended, she swallowed her own dry bump and sat down on the bed again. "My life's weird, but not that weird," she protested weakly. But then, she did read minds- what if her powers ran amok while she was asleep? It would certainly explain the dreams. Head not willing to deal with the information, she curled into herself again, not to sleep this time, but to protect herself from her own reason.

Jakob He sat down next to her, and looked at her, understanding how she felt. He didn't believe what had happened either, and when he'd accepted it, he'd wanted to die. Jakob shook his head at the telepathy thing, sharing memories he didn't know about, but he could assume how someone would react to learning that they had the ability in their dreams...

She pulled in tighter on herself as he sat next to her. She didn't want the knowledge that every dream she had had actually happened, that she was living in the minds of others.
Suddenly, the urge to move hit her. No point staying here, not when she was so...she left it at distressed. With a purpose now, she stood up from the bed and shoved her extra shirts and pants in her duffel. "We're leaving. I don't want to be here any more. I'll go buy a house or something. It's not like I don't have the money." It was true- the experiment had not been planned by the government, so they had paid X enough to keep them comfortable for the rest of their considerably lengthened lives. Dues for ruining livelihood or something of the sort. She fixed Jakob with a stare. "How often do you need to feed?" If it were too often, she would need to find a way to convince Xarclemr to let him use his blood too. No. Dormant till now, Xarclemr's tone came across clearly. Well, she might just have to find another slave for him to use instead. Or something.

Jakob Jakob shook his head at the question -it was best for him to feed two times a week... "Once every seven days." he lied, knowing that once a week would streatch him to his limits, but he had no source of blood, and couldn't go hunt on his own. He didn't know where they could go, either, and was extremely confused by her actions anyway. It just didn't make sense to run from everything all of the time...But maybe it was because she didn't want to accept the changes she found... Well, it didn't matter. She wanted to leave, and he was a slave. So he would follow her until the day that he died.

An eyebrow lifted. "You know, I'm actually pretty good at spotting lies even without reading minds. Although I was cheating and reading your mind this time. Once a week, I could do, but twice is a bit stretched. Guess our next stop is back at that place again." She would make sure the person was okay with it, of course, since she didn't want anyone killing themselves or anything. At least her mind was off the dream again... ((Posts'll be moving back to the other forum in just a bit. I may have to make another slave character...))

Jakob Jakob nodded slowly. He didn't wish to burden others with his curse, but if Xaniella wished it, he couldn't argue. "If you will it Xaniella." He replied. He did not want to go back to the Slave House...but he had no choice. His new mistress seamed nice enough, but he doubted he was any more of a person in her eyes than the next slave.
