Branding, Blood-Drinking, and an Angry Ashe

The scene ended differently then I originally planned. I'm not complaining. As usual it's a first draft so it's choppy. I'm going to flesh it out in the revision and whatnot.

I couldn’t begin to describe the pain, and I’m not sure there any words that could do it justice. The branding iron got nearer to my arm and I started to struggle, kicking at the one guy holding me down and begging him, spewing out little words of non-sense as the other man steadily walked closer. I knew without a shadow of a doubt that if it would of gotten that iron away from me, I’d of done anything for them. I just didn’t want it to touch me, mark me. 

Death

This is unedited. I wrote it probably in the span of an hour or so. I need to go back and edit it, and clean it up and add some stuff in, probably try to put more emotion in it. Did not mean for it to turn out this long but eh, I like it. I always have trouble writing Briar death scene. It wasn't originally planned and then I was driving to work and a character informed me he/she was going to kill Briar and I went with it. It works as a nice reasoning for Hayden to want to kill the DELG., 

People deal with grief in different ways. I always thought it was weird, watching a person cry and cry over a death of a loved one. I never understood it, because I rationalized that the tears would not bring a person back to life. Those tears wouldn’t solve anything, and that person would not want you to be sad. I’d never actually dealt with a close death before; I’d never even been to a funeral. When I saw Briar hanging there on the wall, nails driven into her arms and legs in a crucified sort of way; her chest torn open and her heart ripped out I couldn’t move. I could only stare and try to take it all in; rationalize what was going on before me.

Anger

So I'm working a little bit on DNPG while I gather my thoughts and inspiration for the downhill slide of Cursed. I like DNPG, it's a baby that's been redone and revamped a couple of times. My favorite scenes to write are the angry scenes, and the scenes where someone is getting hurt or tortured. It's a nice venting piece. 

So one of the first two scenes I wrote was the scene where Hayden and his Mom get really angry at each other, and she's kicking him out because he went and became a Vampire, which isn't done in there "world". Vampires are highly looked down upon, they aren't even allowed in schools or whatnot. 

They are sort of looked at like parasites, which given, they kind of are. They drink other peoples blood.
