Rico was listening away to Marissa talk to him and he could not help but think that this was why they were supposed to be together.  She seemed to understand him better than he understood himself.  Of course he had friends around him and his clan, but sometimes it felt like he was alone in a crowded room.<br/><br/>“When it comes to powers everyone seems a little different with them.”  Rico said as he was randomly running his fingers along her arm as he continued to talk.  “Of course there those who still have to learn to use them.  The biggest power is that of compulsion.”  Rico admitted, “But beyond popular belief it does not always work.  It only works with the weak minded.”  He then smirked at her a little, “As for others I can’t give away all my secrets.”  Rico knew that as time went by she would know him in and out so he couldn’t give everything away.<br/><br/>Rico was going to try and be nice to her and not have a repeat of what happened yesterday, but he knew that he had a bad temper and she could be a stubborn woman and they were bound to butt heads.  He could not help but think about the further they get along in their relationship that she would be able to put in his place not that he would admit it too her.<br/><br/>When she reminded him where he left off on his story he continued, “Randolph was my vampire sire.  He saved my life, found me half dead in my house.  He told me it was the scent of all the blood that brought him too my door.”  Rico got lost for a moment as he remembered the day.  “He gave me a choice to either end my life or give me a chance to live.”  Rico said with a sigh, “I just never knew my choice was going to be such a challenge.”  Rico pulled Marissa a little closer to him as he remembered even more.
