Runway Beat

Because I'm such in a awesome mood I will continue with my 'Awesome List' :D. It's about Runway Beat. That's a movie but even though it's a little bit cliché, I love it. Firstly, there's Seto Koji. I like this guy and not just because we're born in the same day but because when I watch him I see bits of myself. Totally random, I know. Anyway, the movie is about this transfer student, Mizorogi Biito (Beat) who's a real talented designer. Because the school doesn't have any more funds, the kids decide to make a fashion show for their last school's annual festival. Beat's presence there changes everything and makes them all grow up, in a way. It does have its own complications but overall it's quite a nice movie. It's not about love necessarily, it's just about friendship. After it I watched Tumbling and that is a drama you HAVE to see. It's so cool in so many ways.

So, watch Runway Beat because it definitely worth it. ;)

Shaken Baby

Another drama that I really like is Shaken Baby. It's quite a silly drama about Hiroshi, played by Yusuke Yamamoto, whose girlfriend breaks up with him because he is way too normal. Also, the drama is kind of centred around a college theatre circle who like Shakespeare. That got me in the first place. I like Shakespeare too and it seems whatever English project I have, it has to have a link to Hamlet or MacBeth. Anyway, back to the story, Hiroshi gets recruited by his fellow classmate, Shun, who's a real good actor, to change his ways. It's quite funny to see Yamamoto play a guy who can say just from a glance what size a woman has. He's partially perverted in the drama but it is all so fun to watch that it doesn't matter. Another actor I like that is in this drama is Daito Shunsuke, who played Kyoya Ootori in High School Host Club action drama.

Anyway, the story is really cute, it's not something extraordinary but it just gets you to laugh wholeheartedly. I would recommend you all to watch it and see for yourself. However, it does have just one, ONE, episode on dramacrazy and I can't seem to find other episodes. It can't be just one...

Love Rain

Another drama on my 'Totally Awesome' list is Love Rain. This is a super cute drama about love. I do have to say I'm completely parallel with romantic things and especially with love but this one got me. Firstly, the action takes place in the beginning somewhere in the '70's and it describes the pure and sincere love story of  Kim Yoon Hee and Seo In Ha. After a dramatic turn of events, their love isn't fated to be and they go each on their own path. However, after a few long years, in 2012, their children meet and also fall in love with each other. It kind of gets complicated when the parents meet and want to continue their love story from where they stopped it which would mean their children's love wouldn't be possible, which also kind of annoys me. But hey, I really hope it will have a happily ever after...though it would be real cool if the end will be all wicked.

Anyway, the OST of this drama is good. It really completes the whole concept and the actors, which are Jang Keun Suk and Yoona (from SNSD), make the story even greater. they play both the past couple and the present couple and i have to say I'm a fan of Keun Suk ssi. He's a damn good actor and never ceases to amaze me with his talent. :)

Moving

At home, Stella was in her room, packing her stuff. Alex left to tell Nate about the new arrangement. Adrian wasn’t too happy about it but he couldn’t comment. There wasn’t an alternative. Even if he didn’t show it, he trusted Eric and, surprisingly, Alex when it came to Stella’s safety.

“Calm down, Adrian. She’ll be safe with us. Just think about your family. Let the real deal on us.” The vampire slayer sighed and sat on the comfortable couch. He left himself fall deeper into it. From Eric’s point of view, Adrian looked exactly like a teenager. He acted like one too. It was obvious a man like him was too young still, to have two teenagers. But anyway, it seemed people took it like something normal.

While Adrian and Eric were standing in the living room, thinking over and over again about the present situation, upstairs, Stella was seated on her bed, face in the pillow.

“I’ll miss you, bed.” She mumbled. That bed was full of memories. She took it everywhere! Every time they moved, the bed was there and now…she had to leave it behind because it would be too dangerous…”But then again…” She got up and stared at it. She smirked when an interesting idea popped up.

“I think you’re kidding me.” Stella smiled innocently at Alex. The younger vampire stood there, staring straight ahead with a ‘wtf’ look.

“Please.” Stella’s green eyes deepened slightly, gleaming with innocence. She could make Alex do whatever she wanted and it wasn’t just because she was a vampire. She could catch Alex in a deep trance without even trying and she so knew it. When Alex’s blue eyes glanced into Stella’s, he became a lost cause. He sighed defeated and walked to the bed. Stella watched smiley, hands behind back, eyes shining evilly. “Thanks Alex. This really means a lot to me.” She smiled sweetly when she heard Alex scoff. She rolled her eyes and walked out on the balcony while the vampire took the bed and dragged it downstairs. She put her hands on the railing and watched the scenery. Her eyes trailed everywhere, mostly to the old and tall trees that could've been seen from there. She felt her eyes get red when she found two presences somewhere near the house. She didn’t want them to get close to her father’s family, even if it would be a great reason for their death. She smirked and closed her eyes, imagining the scene happening.

“Stella?” She opened her eyes and glanced back to Eric’s deep blue curious orbs. “What’s Alex doing with your bed?” She chuckled slightly and turned her attention back to the outside world.

“He’s carrying it to your house. That bed holds too many memories for me to abandon it. It has always been there.” Eric nodded even if he didn’t really understand her reason. Stella was a complicated teenage girl and overall was a vampire. With her past, it’s still a mystery how she cooped up so well with angst and happiness. “When are we leaving? I hate how those two guys stare visibly at me. Like I’m a freaking lifeless statue.” She turned to Eric, an annoyed expression on her stoic face. “Do I look like an object?” Eric held up a chuckle and shook his head. She scoffed and went into the house muttering curses under her breath. Eric took her place on the balcony and looked in the distance. The vampires left when they saw their new gossip subject enter the house. He sighed and closed his eyes, enjoying the silence.

“Let me go!” Eric’s eyes opened back and rubbed his head. That was going to be a long and tiring day. He just knew it.

Downstairs, the answer for Eric’s annoyance was Adrian’s family. It seemed Cousin Emily couldn’t hold her curiousness back anymore. Of course, in her state, Stella could’ve blown completely in front of her.

“Where do you go?” Stella rolled her eyes.

“Why would I tell you? It shouldn’t bother you.” Emily’s glare deepened.

“It bothers me. I saw Alex with your bed! You’re going to screw him don’t you?” Stella’s eyes dropped instantly to the human in a superior glance.

“That’s not a tone you can use with me.” Emily was furious already. She grabbed Stella’s wrist. IT didn’t hurt but just the action got the vampire mad. “Take your hand off.” Emily didn’t listen. She just tightened her grip. Stella’s eyes dilated, from the corners getting red. She grabbed Emily’s hand, tightly. It hurt her and that made the dangerous vampire smirk in a sadistic way, which kind of scared everyone.

“Let me go!” Eric flashed downstairs to see Stella ready to tear Emily in pieces.

“Stella!” She stopped for a second but didn’t take her eyes off her supposed cousin. “Stella…we have to go.” Nothing. “Now.” She rolled her eyes and let the human go. After a quick glance around the room she walked out the house, Eric right behind her.

James's kind of Fun

When Stella arrived home, Alex and Eric behind her, Gracie went upstairs to play while the female population from the house stared at the two boys. Chelsea and Emily gawked at Alex’s hotness while Natalie gawked at Eric. They were both staying there proudly. However, Adrian wasn’t as pleased as the women to see the two vampires.

“Stella. I told you not to get them in.” Eric interrupted the vampire slayer, serious face on.

“We have to talk with you about…the problem.” Adrian glanced at the smirking Alex, who waved to Chelsea. Eric rolled his eyes. “Ignore him.” Stella nudged Alex and took hold of his hand, dragging the vampire after Adrian and Eric, into the kitchen.

“I’m all ears.” Stella sat down on a chair while Alex started searching for blood through the fridge.

“They saw Stella.” Eric finally said. Adrian widened his eyes and glanced at Stella. “She’s safe for now but I can’t guarantee for your family.” Adrian nodded.

“What should we do?” Alex closed the fridge and turned all smiley with the bottle of beer in hand.

“Move with us.” Adrian gave Alex a sarcastically look. One that says ‘no-way-in-hell’.

“Actually, that’s a good idea.” The three pairs of eyes looked surprised over the vampire slayer.

“It is?” Stella asked, not sure if that plan would work out well.

“It’s the only safe idea.” Stella raised an eyebrow.

“Safe? Living with four male vampires in the same house sounds safe to you?” He shrugged.
“There are pluses too. You get more lovey time with Eric.” Adrian gave a sharp glare to the younger vampire. He shrugged and threw the bottle of beer in the trash can.

“I’ll call James.” Alex looked up to Adrian and smirked.

“James is busy right now. He has a date.” Adrian’s eyes gave a glint of realization. He forgot about James’s date completely. “And I bet he has…” He stopped, his smirk getting bigger. “Fun.”

The truth was that, James didn’t have much fun. His date was a blonde, nicely curved girl who wouldn’t shut up for nothing in the world. At first, James found her attractive and simply delicious but then she started talking. She became talkative and annoying and she wanted attention. James couldn’t give it to her anymore.

“I think we should get you home, Aly.” He said, how nicely possible. However, the blonde had other plans. From the first time she landed eyes on the skinny, hot vampire she knew what she wanted to happen after the supposed date. It actually went according her plan. Movie, dinner, dance, a couple shots and next was sex. But James wasn’t an ordinary man and that’s what she didn’t add to her plan. The woman smirked and got up, ready to get home and into ‘action’.

The whole ride home was full with her voice, rambling about something or another. James was sick and stopped the car, abruptly.

“It’s time for a walk.” He said, his voice getting a little harsh. The female nodded and smirked, thinking about stupid things, like she had done until then. James grabbed her hand and both started walking deeper into the woods. The moon was already up, the date had started at 7 pm and the wind became harsher. Seeing how his date was cold, the gentleman gave her his jacket. She smiled and thanked, getting closer to him. James eyes traveled over her face, stopping at the wide opened neck. He smirked, smelling the fresh blood. “I want to show you something.” He whispered in her ear, his voice getting the woman to tremble.

They didn’t walk more. The spot was perfect and out of view. James turned to his date and smirked alluring. He leaned closer to her lips.

“Did you have a good time, Aly?” The woman couldn’t say anything anymore. His voice gave her chills. She finally found the power to nod, though. “I know the perfect way we can finish this date.” He leaned more, their lips touching. The blonde grabbed the back of his head and he got a tight grip around her hips. The make out session finished after a few more seconds. He trailed sweet kisses to her neck and started sucking on one spot. She moaned and let her head back for more space. What she didn’t see coming was how James’s canines grew visibly and launched in her flesh. Her eyes opened and tried to get James off but he caught her hands and kept a tight grip on her head. He sucked until he drained the small body. When he finished he threw her like an old sock and cleaned the blood from his face. He also took his jacket and put it back around himself.

“Finally silence.” He glanced down at the mess and moved shook her a little with his foot. After that, he simply left, like nothing actually happened.

Seen

“You should know already how ‘different’ I am.” Eric glared at her smirking face.

“Anyway…that was when we started to ask more questions about us. He never told me much and Nate wasn’t that interested. He was thankful with what we had. But sometimes there needed to be a woman in the house and when dad told us about his date we got curious.”

“Did you meet one of your father’s ladies?” Stella started to laugh.

“Yes. All of them. Sometimes dad and Nate would talk about girls and what they like in one, or how their perfect match would look like. Nate’s stereotype never changed. He had a lot of girlfriends, girls were like bees and he was the honey.” Eric looked incredulously amused by her words. “But he never found a good one. Just messed around.”

“And that’s how he got in jail and hospital?” Stella chocked on her ice cream and had a fit.

“No! He loved parties and girls and sex.” Eric rolled his eyes. Stella looked down at Gracie to see her playing with her fingers. “Gracie, do you want to go play in the park over there?” The kid nodded. Eric flashed her to the park and told her not to talk with strangers or go with them and to stay close. The girl nodded and went to the swings. “We should go closer. I don’t want her harmed…” Stella started again when Eric flashed back. He shook his head.

“It’s alright. Firehole is a nice place and no one will harm her. She’s human, she’s safe.” Stella rolled her eyes.

“Alex is around too, isn’t he?” Eric chuckled but nodded. “Ok. So, Nate never found his perfect girl because he never met a vampire girl. That’s what he actually wanted. And…” Eric interrupted her.

“He wanted someone kind of like Beatrice, right?” Stella nodded. She did learn that Beatrice was her mother’s name. “That’s almost impossible to find these days. That woman had so much class, she was beautiful and smart and you are the only one with that superior attitude, but in a good way.” Stella rolled her eyes.

“You should shut up now.” He nodded. “So, back to the original story. Nate was flirty like any other vampire, and of course he had that gift to lure girls into wanting more. But some girls had boyfriends and brothers…who were playing football or some sport and were pretty damn fit. Nate isn’t very…big.” Eric started to chuckle. “He didn’t master his power too good and sometimes at all. So when he beat the crap out of someone he would get in jail and when he would lose, in hospital.” Eric was stunned. That Nate sounds so different than the one he met. “But one day, dad came home with a woman he really liked. Her name was Alice. They married and that’s when hell started. For the first few months we were genuinely happy. But Alice didn’t know what we are or what’s dad‘s job. He would leave for days and come back tired and stressed. We never commented but she started to. One day, Nate got mad because for some unknown reason she didn’t let him go out with friends. He growled and pushed her, hard. She flew into the wall and his eyes changed. I thought it’s normal for some reason, and it was. His powers were reviving. She got scared and mad and stressed dad with it. He told her the truth and surprisingly, she took it pretty well.”

“And what went wrong?”

“Dad had to travel around for his job. Vampires were moving and he had to chase them. We traveled with him. It seems Alice didn’t get used to it or the idea that her ‘children’ are older than she is and much hotter.” Eric scoffed at the proud vampire. “She didn’t get through her thick human head that we were under control. That night with the fight, dad also heard from some vampire about me and remembered what his master told him. He told Alice and she didn’t like it one bit. They started the fight and she chose to leave. They got a divorce and I didn’t understand why but in time…I realized the reason. Coming to Firehole was the best idea ever. I met you, I started reviving my past and my old self.”

“Do you think reviving your old self is good?” Stella nodded.

“That’s ME. Of course I want to. I want to remember, I want to be free and choose what’s good and bad. I don’t want to stay like this forever. I’m afraid I will kill everyone and I will lose control of my rage. I want to but I can’t. For me it’s a good thing because I finally know who I am.” Eric stood there, watching Stella. She was right, they were all against her and her wishes. They wanted the best for the city, for the world but mostly for themselves. Having Stella Blanche back alive would cause a disaster through the simple fact that she’s superior over all of them and she has power. She could rule the vampire world if she wants to. In the end it all depends on her and they can’t do anything. If she will lose control, that’s it. They have just to keep her there, in Firehole.

“Do you think you will regain control over yourself?” Stella turned her head and watched outside, at the calm city.

“I don’t know. Maybe, eventually with some help I will. But you have to be careful, Eric. When I will fully lose control, you’ll be the first I’ll come to.” Her eyes traveled back to his stoic ones.

“I know and I will be ready. I’ve prepared myself for a while.” Stella nodded and smiled, hoping that time when she’ll fight Eric won’t come in the near future.

“Anything else you want to know about little old me?” Eric chuckled and shook his head. “Alright, then.” She glanced at the park where Gracie was. At first she was alone, smiling over Stella. The two girls waved to each other smiley. After a big truck drove between the two, Gracie wasn’t alone anymore. Behind her was a teenage boy smirking evilly. Stella’s smile was erased in a second and turned her head fast. She didn’t want the vampire to take a closer look, but it was already too late. When Eric trailed his eyes on the window at whatever Stella saw outside, he didn’t see anyone behind Gracie. But he did see Alex with the same surprised face as her.

In just a few moments, Alex got into the shop, a tight grip on Gracie’s hand. Stella was still perplexed and scared while Eric stood dumbfounded. When he saw the vampire and the kid walking in, he raised and signed over. Gracie took her place next to Stella while Alex sat next to Eric.

“He saw you.” That was the first and worst line. Stella took a deep breath and let it out, slowly. “We have to keep the guard up.” He glanced at Eric. The older vampire figured what happened but was speechless.

“He will tell the others. They will come after me.”

“No.” Eric interrupted. “They won’t hurt you right away.” Alex glanced between Eric and Stella and nodded.

“True. You’re something different. You’re Stella Blanche. They won’t want you dead…yet. They’ll just…want you.” Stella raised an eyebrow and looked at Eric.

“What does he mean?” Eric took his hand through his black hair.

“They will stare, even stalk you. They will be in the shadows, they will be your shadows. For a while that’s what will happen. After that, they will gain enough courage to come closer. They can be anyone and they start a conversation from anything. They will want to hear your voice, to see what changed and what not. And in the end…” Stella’s eyes were wider than ever before. She was completely freaked out.

“In the end…?” Alex took it upon himself to finish the line.

“They will either want you to become what you were or kill you. But don’t be afraid about the second choice. It won’t happen anyway. Do you really think inferior vampires could even touch a noble? That’s in your blood. Even if you lost control or not, you will still have the power.” That was a complete different thing for Stella. She sighed in relief.

Flashbacks

In a small house, Stella and Nate were sleeping peacefully on the bed, Nate having his sister in a tight hug. The door to the room they were in opened and entered two men. One was old, with beard and white hair. He wore a dark suit and his eyes were staring coldly at his surroundings. Next to him was a much younger man, in his early twenties. He had brown childish eyes, brown hair and he looked very uncomfortable. He wore a different outfit than the older man consisting of a pair of black converse, blue jeans, white shirt and a coat. His hair was messy and he looked handsome. His eyes trailed to the elder and slowly to the two siblings. His gaze softened. The older brother, even asleep, was taking care of his sister. However, the old man wasn’t as nice as him.
“Wake up!” He didn’t yell, but his voice was firm and cold. The girl didn’t stir but the boy opened his eyes. They were red and it shocked the younger man. “Stay behind me Adrian.” The so called man nodded and took a step back. Like awaited, Nate launched himself at the elder and growled. He was ready to snap his head when he saw Adrian. He stared at Adrian’s soft eyes. He didn’t look like a vampire slayer at all. Actually, he didn’t look like he even wanted to be there and something was soothing about him. Nate stopped and grabbed his hands back. He glanced back, knowing Stella woke up and now watched them. He backed off, behind her. Adrian looked at the girl. She wasn’t that small but she looked fragile. Her eyes weren’t red but she did have fangs. He wasn’t scared, though. Not even a little. He walked courageously to her and smiled. Her eyes were so innocent that it broke his heart.

“It’s ok. I won’t hurt your sister.” He said knowingly. Nate still had his guard up. “I’m Adrian Monroe. What’s your name?” He started talking to her as to a frightened child.

“Stella. Why am I here? Where are my parents?” Adrian glanced to his master, curious. She was a vampire yet she wanted to her parents? Something wasn't right.

“What’s she talking about master Ronald?” The so called master signed for Adrian to sit next to him, on the other bed in the room.

“You have in front of you the worst and most dangerous vampire alive. That’s Stella Blanche.” Adrian glanced at Stella surprised. She didn’t look like a vampire in the first place, but a dangerous one. The one that destroyed so many lives. It was impossible.

“But she looks so…tiny.” Master Ronald nodded.

“There is a whole history behind her transformation. But one thing I know for sure. She didn’t use to be evil. Nathan, her brother, never left her side. He’s as loyal as you are, Adrian.” He nodded.

“Why do you show me this?” The master smiled; a creepy old man’s smile.

“Because this is your lifetime mission.” Adrian furrowed his eyebrows, not getting the plan. “You, Adrian Monroe, vampire slayer will take under your wing these two powerful vampires.” He gasped and stared at his master in shock.

“What?! But you said it yourself. They are dangerous. Why would they want to be cared of by me when they have each other?” The master stared deeply at Stella.

“They suffered and they still do. I’m sure you’ll teach them how to be normal teenagers with normal and boring lives. Your mission is to be a parent.” Adrian’s mouth was still opened. He trailed  his eyes over the two vampires who didn’t have the slightest idea what they were. They just listened to their intuition.

“Why me?” The master sighed and patted Adrian on the back.

“You’ve seen Nathan’s reaction when he saw you. That’s a sign. I knew your kindness will be enough. Maybe you are a strict and great vampire slayer but you have a good heart and I want you to teach them how to open their hearts too.”

“But they are dead. Vampires don’t have feelings.” Master Ronald stared blankly at his student.

“Then teach them how to feel again, Adrian.” The older vampire slayer left the room while the younger one stood there, thinking over and over again what he got into.

And you remembered this when?” Stella sighed.

“I never forgot that time. I just pushed it in the back of my mind. I never thought it’s important. I didn’t know what they were talking about. I was scared.” Eric nodded and Stella took it as a sign to continue.

Days have gone faster than Adrian would’ve imagined. Stella and Nate became soon accustomed with his apartment and with their new father. It has gone five years and Stella slowly became a beautiful teenage girl while Nate became quite popular through the town. Yet, there was something they didn’t understand. The other children were changing, growing up while they were the same. One day, Stella got too curious and went to her father.

“Dad…are you in here?” She opened the door to his room and checked for Adrian. On the bed was his body, exhausted, tired and every adjective that has a connection with the first two. “Are you ok?” The man groaned and looked up to his vampire daughter.

“What’s wrong Stella?” She entered in the room and sat on the bed.

“Why don’t we grow up?” When he heard the question, Adrian’s head raised instantly.

“What do you mean?” He never thought about a lie for that question. He knew it will pop up sometimes but he hoped it will be as late as possible.

“The kids from the neighborhood change, the girls have breasts and well…they just go through transformations. Girls about my age look younger than I do. They get what I have just now.” Adrian opened his mouth a little, thinking overdrive. “And Nate…he’s handsome but maybe…too handsome for his age.”

“Stella…you have to understand that some kids grow faster than others. Your and Nate’s bodies mature faster. That’s how it works. You never know when from 14 you get to look like you’re about 20.” Stella nodded, content with the answer and when she left, Adrian sighed and collapsed back on his bed.

Eric laughed when he heard Stella’s story. She playfully glared at him and hit him with her leg.

“It’s not funny.” Eric raised an eyebrow.

“It was obvious something was wrong yet you believed him?” Stella nodded, chuckling. Eric shook his head. “You’re something else.” The female vampire nodded smirking.

“You should know already how ‘different’ I am.” Eric glared at her smirking face.
