-Sophia-

It is a late September night and the sky looks like a dark room with a bunch of tiny specks of sparkles everywhere; some making shapes and forms. The soft breeze smells of roses and lilacs. The aroma makes me feel as if I am floating in the clouds instead of laying on my roof next to my flower garden.

The moon, a bright crimson, "Beautiful," I muttered. Some people may think I am crazy for being on my roof at 3 AM in New York, but I do not care. It is calming out here and I cannot sleep. Go figures. I can never get to sleep at a decent time, but with my long jet black hair blowing around in the breeze, and my brother Erik asleep, I am all by myself and that makes it a lot more calming.

I am relaxed and should be asleep in no time. Also, I am so excited, still, from getting my yellow crotch rocket today. Erik got his black Mersades a few days ago. It is a gorgeous car, but my crotch rocket is way better. It would be even better, almost perfect, if I had a guy here with me.

I mean, it is peaceful being alone, but I want someone to cuddle with and to kiss and talk to. Someday I will have that, I hope. I am starting to get tired now. I should probably get in my bed. It is nice and comfy, big and very soft. It is a king size temprapedic matress.

As I got inside and shut and locked the window, the calming gental breeze disappeared along with the flowery blissful aroma. With a yawn and a sign, I got into my pajamas and brushed my teeth. The last thing I remember is that it was 5 AM as I drifted into yet another boring, dreamless sleep.

-Erik-

I woke up on the floor next to my bed, "What the hell?" I muttered. I also had a horrible headache. I got up and as I walked past Sophia's room, I saw that she actually made it to her bed before she finally passed out. Wonder what time she actually went to bed. I think I I passed out around 1:30 AM.

As I got some breakfast, I turned on the TV and a interesting comercial caught my attention. "Hmm, a curse cruse saounds like it would be fun and Sophia would really love it."

"I...would love what?" Sophia asked with a yawn. She really needs to sleep more. I mean, it is only 9:30 AM and I am sure she did not get to bed till around 5 AM.

"Sis, go back to bed."

"I tried...I cannot sleep. Go figures." She replied as she, herself, yawned again and got some breakfast.

"Oh, Sophia." I signed woryly. "Are you still having problems going to bed?"

"Yeah..." she turned away, "I'll be fine...it is just sleep..." she turned back and I could have sworn I saw a bit of worry in her eyes. "Anyways...what would I love?"

"Oh, just this three to six month cruse they are broadcasting on TV. Would you like to go?" I told her as I rinsed off my dishes and cleaned up my mess from yesterday. "It would only cost us $4,000. That is not a lot at all, but that is only for four months. It is $6,000 for six months. That is both of us put together. So, would you wanna go?" I stared at her hoping she says yes. "Come on, sis."

"Oh, I don't know. I mean, yeah, the money is no problem, but do you really think we would last six months on a cruse? It sound fun but..." she looked down. "When is it? Where do we have to go to get on this cruse?" She sat down.

"It starts the first day of October and we have to go to Florida to get on. So, can we? We'll make new friends." I smiled my sly smile. "You will meet hot guys..." I nudged her arm gently.

"Hot guys?" she smiled. "Well, I guess we do need a break from the city. A vacation would not be bad."

"So, that is a yes?" I started to jump up and down in my chair. It is kind of childish, yes, and I am older than her, but I do not act like it sometimes. I look 26, but I am really 280 years old. I am a demon and Sophia is half demon, half witch. We both have pure black wings, but hers have cyrstal blue tips. The weird thing is that we have to drink blood to stay strong and look young.

"Erik!" My gaze immediately went to her. "Are you ok? You are just staring at nothing and bouncing in your seat. Yes, we can go, ok? Now I am going to try to go back to bed. Night." I was so excited to go that I ran around and soon also went to bed.

Italy is so amazing. So beautiful, so graceful, and 100% peaceful, but I need to get away for a while. Maybe I will go on that six month cruse. Who knows, maybe I will find my soul mate. That would be amazingly perfect. To just lay next to the one you want to be with and just be with them under the stars would be great. Maybe this trip is what I really need.

I wonder if it is bad that I have never had a girlfriend? I mean, I have friends that are girls, but that is all they are, friends. Am I not attractive? I mean, I am 6'5", my eyes are a deep saphire, my hair is black and stylishly messy, and I am strong. I mean, my skin is light, but I am half angel, half demon. I cannot help it. I have short thick eye lashes and am a sweet guy. Is that not what girls like?

"I am going on this cruse!" I muttered. it only feels like the right thing to do. Ok, I have to be to Florida by October 1st. I can do that, money is no big deal. Maybe I am not suppose to be happy, but I do have an idea of my perfect girl.

Almost all guys should, right? I mean, I would probably have a hard time finding a gorgeous girl with perfect long black hair that flows like silk down to the middle of her back. Or bright crystal blue eyes that you may think can glow in the dark, giving you chills with every loo she gives. A girl not too pale or too tan, just a perfect small tan. A girl whose height is an amazingly perfect 5'6" with a voice like an angels.

Those long thick lashes that brush against her skin everytime she blinks. And, finally, that perfect athletic build, not too skinny, but not too muscley. That would be amazing, but impossible to find. Just a dream to me. For now at least she is just a dream. Speaking of dreams, I should probably go to sleep. I am beat and need some good beauty sleep. Plus, it is hot, so I can probably sleep naked tonight; yay.

-Sebastian Faithaven-

"Sebastian, please can we go on this cruse? I really wanna go, plus we have not seen each other in a while. C'mon, please?!" My sister Willow begged me. I mean, I really wanted to go with my sister, but I am not sure I want her to know I am gay. Just not yet at least. Maybe I should just tell her, then maybe she will not go with me.

"Willoe, there is something I have to tell you. I am not sure you will like it." I took a deep breath. "I'm gay..." I stopped breathing when she gasped. "I am sorry I did not tell you before, I was scared of what you would think. I guess you don't care for me anymore and I understand if you don't want to go on the cruse with..."

"I love you, you fool! I have the perfect guy for you! He has had a crush on you for years. Sebastian, you should let me invite Erik Baker! I am sure him and Sophia are going. Oh, please?!"

"Fine." I gave up. I mean damn, Erik Baker crushing on me is crazy, but I am a sucker for him...I can hardly ever say no when it comes to him. I do not really know him that well, but being with him for six months should change that. "I will go if you invite Erik..." I took in a deep breath, "and tell him I am gay and interested...a lot." I smiled as Willoe thanks me and told me I would never regret going. When she hung up I hopped in the shower. I need to calm my nerves.

-Willoe Faithaven-

I cannot believe that, over all these years, I never realized that my own brother was gay. This is awesome! Erik will be excited, damnit! I still have to call and ask him if he wants to go. I hope he is or will. I picked up my cell and quickly dialed Erik's number. It rang only once before I heard Erik answer, as if he knew I was going to call him.

"Hello, Willoe! Are you going on that six month cruse? I am and so is Sophia. Also, is uh...is Sebastian going?" He had a little bit of hope in his voice. That is adorable.

"Hey, Erik. Yes, I am going on the trip and so is Sebastian. Maybe we can all meet up where we have to be to get on the cruse. Oh, and, by the way, Sebastian is gay." I said with a slight smile.

"Oh is he now?"

"Yes and he told me to tell you that he is very interested. So go for him, ok?" I was so excited for them. "So, see you guys October 1st, right?"

"Oh yes you guys will." He said with a slight hint of thought in his voice.

"Ok. Tell Sophia I said hi and I will see her then. Bye!" I hung up after he said goodbye.

I quickly called Sebastian, but got his answering machine, "Sebastian!! Erik is going! He is so interested in you! You guys would be an adorable couple. We are all meeting up October 1st! See y'all then, bye!" He is gonna be so happy. I just hope he does not panic. I giggled. We gotta do some shopping! So much to buy! Yay, a shopping spree!

"I wannt know what you know. I wanna go where you go. Take a trip to the end of time, grab your hips, kiss your lips, and fly away..." Where do I want to eat tonight? Hmm...I feel like pizza, maybe? I do not know, I think I will just make something tonight. You know what, I will just go to Taco Bell; I am in the mood for tacos.

It is beautiful tonight. The moon is a soft orange with a little glow. Tiny stars are floating in the sky, the color of the sea on a late summer night. It is nights like this that I wish I was laying in a meadow filled with a different variety of flowers that filled the air around me with an aroma so intaxicating that it leaves you wanting more. With little animals wondering around searching for food and a place to lay and relax and enjoy the peaceful night.

You know what? I do not feel the need for food right now. I want something even better. I think I shall go hunting. It is always fun to hear them beg for their life. I mean, I do not kill them, I just toy with their mind and emotions. That is not that bad, right?
