Private Should We Always Forgive?

It seemed like it was Nathan's turn to act off, the young vampire definitely had things on his mind. The last few days he'd seem distant, less talkative. Which he wasn't big on talking, but he talked a lot with Amber.

So he'd lay, kinda hanging off of his bed, his homework finished and tossed to the side. He'd tap his claws on his sketchbook, a distant look on his face.

It was then that Amber said something he didn't quite catch. "Sorry....what was that babe?" he'd ask, looking over at her. @Pallas

"Uh....just..," he'd sigh, "just something's been on my mind." He'd scratch at his cheek. "Talked to an older vampire the other day and he said some things that....I don't know....bothered me I guess, can't stop thinking about them."

He'd sit up proper, leaning his back against his bed. "Do....do you think everyone deserves forgiveness?" he'd ask her. "Even when they do something really really bad?" he'd ask her.

"Like....maybe it makes me a bad person," he'd shrug, "but forgiveness seems so much harder than people say." He'd sigh, leaning his head back against his bed.

He'd listen, humming in thought a bit as he did. "I....I never told you this but...," he'd pause, "I....didn't choose to be turned." It'd been forced on him, by someone he thought was his friend, and he'd done it just to see what would happen.

Nathan would continue. "I talked to the vampire I met about things and it came up," he'd sigh, running his fingers through his spikey hair.

"He...he said I should just forgive the vampire that turned me," he didn't think he could ever forgive him, the way being turned had affected him.

He'd quietly listen to her, it was heartwarming hearing her say those things. "He seemed to underestimate it, still said I should forgive," he'd say with a sigh, but really sure what to think of that.

Nathan would place his hand on her cheek. "Thank you," he'd say with a tiny smile, "I know I haven't told you a lot about what happened then." She'd no doubt heard rumors about it all though. "Its just not easy to talk about."

Leaning in he'd give her a quick kiss. "I still sometimes see him at school....," he'd say with a sigh, "he doesn't say anything to me though." He hadn't turned him in, had been so broken with so many issues that it just never happened.

"I.......," that question threw him off, he wasn't really sure how to answer it. "I don't know," he'd say with a sigh, running his fingers they his hair. "It's....it's really weird."

He'd quietly think a brief moment before continuing. "He just...smirks...then walks off," he'd close his eyes, "guess you could say....I sorta have a small panic attack."

Nathan would open his eyes and look at her. "So...I don't know," he'd shrug, "I don't really know how to feel about any of it."
