Edward: steps from shadows Ah, you again. Your scent... irresistible! Yet, I must resist.
"Come on now, Edward. You can't keep hiding away forever."
Edward: sighs heavily Alas, Chikker, you underestimate the depth of my internal conflict. My thirst is a raging storm within me.
chuckles softly "Oh, come on, Edward. You're more than just a thirst."
Edward: paces restlessly It's not that simple, Chikker. My very existence is a conflict between my desires and my conscience. stops pacing and looks at Chikker
"Desires and conscience, huh? Sounds like someone I know." i patted his back
Edward: grabs Chikker's hand forcefully You don't understand, do you? I could end you with a single snap of my fingers. narrows eyes
"And yet, here we are." I replied, looking him straight in the eyes
Edward: releases Chikker's hand abruptly Damn it, Chikker! You always manage to catch me off guard. takes a step back, composing himself
"Caught you off guard, huh?" I chuckled
Edward: runs a hand through his hair, visibly flustered I...I'm sorry, Chikker. I didn't mean to come off as aggressive. It's just...
Edward: takes a deep breath It's just that... I've been struggling with something lately. Something that I can't quite bring myself to share.
"You can tell me anything, Edward. Remember that."
Edward: pauses, then sits down heavily on a nearby chair Thank you, Chikker. It means a lot to me that I can trust you with this.
"Of course, Edward. Now, spill it."
Edward: clears throat Well, Chikker, it seems that... I've been experiencing these vivid nightmares lately. They're...they're quite unsettling.
"Nightmares, huh? That doesn't sound good."
Edward: closes his eyes, takes a deep breath No, Chikker, it gets worse. In these nightmares, I see... visions. Visions of darkness, bloodshed, and destruction.
"Visions? Shit, Edward...that's heavy."
Edward: clenches his fists Yes, Chikker, and the worst part is that I feel like I'm powerless to stop them.
"Powerless, huh? That's fucked up."
Edward: stands up abruptly, anger flashing in his eyes Dammit, Chikker! I won't let these nightmares control me!
"Alright, Edward, calm down. We'll figure this shit out together."
Edward: paces back and forth, deep in thought We need to find a way to understand these nightmares, Chikker.
"Alright, Edward. Let's start by getting some rest. Maybe they'll go away."
Edward: stops pacing, looks determined No, Chikker, rest won't be enough. We need to get to the root of these nightmares.
"Fine, Edward. Then let's figure out what that root is."
Edward: grabs a stack of old books and starts flipping through them
"What are you looking for, Edward?"
Edward: pauses, scanning a page I'm looking for any mention of nightmares, visions, or dark prophecies in relation to vampires.
"Prophecies, huh? You think there's some kind of prophecy messing with your head?"
Edward: continues searching through the books It's possible, Chikker. If there's a prophecy, we need to find out what it entails and how to prevent it from coming true.
"Alright, Edward. Let's keep digging then."
Edward: continues reading, frustration evident on his face Ugh, Chikker, these books are so damn cryptic!
"Cryptic, huh? Well, we'll crack it eventually."
Edward: slams the book shut Damn it! These ancient writers were masters of obfuscation!
