Isabella was slightly confused, normal trip? What was that? Defining normal was hard for Isabella to do. Her eye's flickered toward the ground, trying to understand. For she was not normal, neither was he, so why bother to pretend to be?
"Frank, stop." Isabella whispered out, after he pulled his hand away her's. Still setting her eyes on the slowly becoming interesting ground. The muggle owner falling from her grip as she loosened it and fell to the ground beneath. A slight, soft thud ricocheted, but Isabella didn't even blink, she cared little for human's these days. Most of her humanity had been taken from her the day she made her necromancy oath. Although every now and again it would pop up to remind her, not now though.
Now she was just numb, blocking out the need to yell out at Danny. To shout like it would prove something.
"I..." Looking up, Isabella swallowed, eyes trying to find Danny's.
"I just need you to be Frank. I can't make us both happy." Isabella truthfully declared. Unsure of what reaction this would have on him. Isabella had thought this trip would make them a little happy, this carnival, put things back to the way they had been.
She had been trying, and now she wanted him to know that, to understand that she couldn't do it all by herself. He needed to help her or leave without trying.

Danny dropped his eyes to the floor, letting his anger fall in pieces around him. He sighed heavily. Frank was a persona he had abandoned lately. Or, more accurately, a caricature that he had merged with his own personality. Both Frank and Danny had become so broken that neither of them could sustain the other and what was left was a mess. He needed to remove himself from it, he knew. Separate himself from both of the mangled personas. Perhaps Isabella was right, perhaps being Frank, truly being Frank, was the best thing for he both of them right now.
He took Isabella's hand, pulling her close to him, flush against his chest. With one hand he cupped the back of her head and the other pressed firmly against her lower back, embracing her. "I'm sorry Isabella" he mumbled, his chin resting on the top of her head. After a moment he pulled back so he could see her face. A fragile, but genuine smile graced his features. "You know, I think I saw a rollercoaster out there. I like rollercoasters. Wanna ride?"

At the contact, Isabella held tight, face in Danny's chest, soaking in the comfort. Her body ached to be held forever in the embrace, for it felt like she was safe, unable to be hurt by the things the world threatened them with. Because if they let it, it would love to rip them apart, and shred any kind of spark that had gathered in them.
A weak smile flickered through Isabella's features once he mentioned the roller coaster. Observing the fragile smile he was giving her, a sign that he too was trying. It was harder for him though, Isabella knew. She was glad he was but, it meant they were winning against the bad.
"Roller coaster?" Isabella giggled, although it was so soft and quiet Isabella had to wonder if it even came out of her own mouth.
"Let's go then, " Isabella tugged at the sheet, moving it to get through it, awaiting for Danny. Leaving the muggle on the ground. But not before flicking her wrist to heal the wound she had inflicted.

Danny grasped at Isabella's hand and used his long stride to bring himself a step ahead of her. "You know, I feel sorry for most of the humans that you encounter" Danny smiled. "The owner of that tattoo stand is going to wake from a terrible nightmare. I doubt they'll be doing much more business."
The carnival lights glittered in his eyes, mimicking childish delight as he all but tried to drag Isabella towards the large coaster. It's metal frame was covered with flashing lights of alternating colours. The queue for the ride was almost non-existent. Danny grinned widely at Isabella. "Roller coasters were always my favourite ride when I was child."

Isabella blinked at Danny, an innocent glint in her eyes as she processed his words. Smirking up at him, whilst taking once last glance at the muggle.
"I met you when you were human. Guess you were lucky I wasn't hungry." Isabella joked, already knowing the Isabella then, was much different then the Isabella now. In a sense, she missed her old self, but in another, more grateful she had grown out of being so innocent, so acceptable to believing she was more human then vampire.
Staring at the lights of the roller coaster, Isabella looked down at the hands that had all but, dragged her toward it. Then at the man already signaling that they could go find a seat. With anticipating growling at her from within, Isabella ran to a seat. Fast enough to be seen, but too much that the man had trouble following her movement.
"They're much more fun when you're a vamp, everything's amplified." Isabella replied, just as she sat down. Grinning at Danny as the excitement took hold of her once again.

Danny let out a bark of laughter. "Lucky? Why do all you lamia seem to think that I was vulnerable as a human?" Danny chuckled, racing after Isabella and joining her in the car. "Years of training, remember? Deadly assassin?" He added with a wink. Lanor had thought he needed protecting too, when they had first met. Of course Lanor hadn't known the whole 'years of secret training' thing, though. Danny looked back on the memory fondly, not allowing the ache in his chest to overcome him completely. Tonight was about him and Isabella having fun. It was a satisfying feeling, to be able to think of Lanor without being overtaken by the emotions associated with him. Perhaps Danny was beginning to deal with the grief.
The operator of the ride was making his rounds, making sure all the riders were secure and safe within their seats. Danny pulled the bar down over their heads and the operator locked it in place. He looked at Isabella with dilated pupils and a shocking smile. "Brilliant.". The car began to move beneath them.

Isabella gave him a look, as if saying all humans were viewed that way by her race, it wasn't her fault if some actually could defend themselves against them. Freakishly trained or not.
"Deadly assassin... right.. Got it" Isabella winked back at him, just as the operator passed them. It was difficult to remember just who she was friends with, even harder to think of Danny as someone who knew more ways of killing someone then she did, and she was born to be able to kill in a heartbeat. Survival and all. Then the movement of the car took her attention as it gathered in speed.
The first corner looped into a spiral downwards, wiping her hair back so fast, Isabella yelped in a scream of delight. The others screams reached her ears too, more profound then hers, but joyful all the same.
"It's amazing!" Isabella just had time to yell out to Danny, as the car took them around another tight turn before plummeting 20 meters. Lights flashed passed, like small individual specks of glitter. Making it seem as if they were actually passing stars.

Chuckling, Danny steadied his hands on the safety bar as the car sped round hairpin bends that made his body slam against its unforgiving interior and climbed chained ascents so steep it felt as if the were being dragged toward the moon by some invisible tether. He laughed when the sudden dips and turns tried to snatch air out of his lungs, forcing his brain into a chemical frenzy of adrenaline and dopamine.
When the car slowed into the station Danny jumped out and offered a hand to Isabella, a smile of exhilaration carving a path across his features. That smile stamped out something like hope, because it was getting a little easier each time to smile like that. Bit by bit, Danny was growing better. Something shone in his eyes that was reminiscent of someone awaking from a long and great sickness which they thought would claim their life. Perhaps such an observation would be correct. Danny was awakening to an almost normal life, blind and raw, after years of existing under some terrible and heavy fate.

Isabella was taken in a hazy of raw joy. Untarnished by the unnecessary memories or thoughts of just what brought them here in the first place. Rushing all up and placed on a kind of pause as the car stopped and she found herself taking the offered hand. Violet eyes grew huge, at Danny's smile. It was a long time since anything of the sort graced his lips. Isabella was pleased.
Perking up at the sounds around them, Isabella gripped firmly onto Danny, running wildly away from the ride. Like an animal unleashed from it's restrains, she strove to find another, adrenalin pumping ride to captivate their attention. That or something of the same thing. For, she loved to see Danny smiling like he was currently. It gave her a sense, that eventually, he would be able to get through the darkness that had taken hold of him. And if he could, then so too, would she. For only then will she allow herself too.
"Having fun pretty boy?" Isabella mused, while she ran. Enjoying the feel of the wind flying past her. Although, she was mindful not to use her full potential, or else someone would take notice.

Danny ran with Isabella, matching her pace with ease. "You can slow down, Bella. The carnival isn't going to go anywhere." His smile was audible in his voice.
Eventually after running past goodness-knows-how-many flashing lights and sweet smells and eerie strands of music he gave a sharp tug on Isabella's arm and stopped abruptly. He wouldn't be surprised if she fell with the force and the suddenness of it, though he suspected she had more balance than that. He flicked his wind-mussed hair from his eyes and pawed at the clinging strands that lay across his cheeks. "So." His voice was breathy and full of anticipation, "What now?"

His question passed her mind just as soon as he asked it. Her eyes glued in front of her. Although stopping hadn't been her idea, where they had stopped made images of ghost stories come to life. As a neon sign highlighted an entrance to a horror house. Pictures were hung up, just as models of undead creatures littered the door way.
Isabella waited for Danny to fix up his hair, before she pointed straight at the entrance.
"I dare you.." Isabella left off there, as she took a step closer. A confused look taking place on her face, as a poor imitation of a vampire hit her eye sight. They had the skin colour all wrong, and the teeth made for hectic shark teeth, not vampiric at all. Isabella felt quite offended. Though, she mimicked the face, that looked as if it were growling right back at it. Before going back to talking.
"To make yourself apart of the horrible monster's they say they have in there," Isabella crossed her arms over her chest.
"And scare someone." Isabella instructed, wiping her head around to glance at him.

Danny stared at Isabella for a long moment without saying anything. "Okay then" he finally answered, and a mischievous smile made its way across his face. "But you have to come with me" He didn't leave any room for protest, reaching to reclaim her wrist in his hand and making his way to the back of the attraction. His skin was already near translucent from not having fed in such a long time. Danny flicked his tongue over his teeth, making they were sharp. As a finishing touch he pressed his thumbs hard beneath his eye sockets and dragged in a half circle, making the skin turn purple-black in a mock bruise.
"What do you think?" Danny turned his head one way, then the other. "What else?"

"Wouldn't want it any other way." Isabella expressed as he encircled his hand around her wrist. It was odd, but his fingers felt warm, as if he was the one who had a heart beating inside of him, instead of her. She shook her head to clear it, confused as to why she hadn't noticed it before. Before following his lead, as they entered.
Instant darkness claimed them, the hallways echoing the scream's from frightened children and adults alike. The perfect scene to pull off a fright. Smirking up at Danny's slight shift in appearance, Isabella gave him a thumbs up.
"You look horrible," Isabella's smirk grew wider. "Perfect."
Backing into a gap, designed for hidden machine made creatures, Isabella quickly pulled Danny into it. Giving him a wink for luck. While she found her own. Already hearing the the thudding of hearts making there way over to them.

"Oh, Thanks," Danny said sarcastically, squeezing himself into the alcove with Isabella. "So I'm not your 'pretty boy' anymore am I?" His voice became a whisper as he heard the group of people come closer. He waited until they were directly opposite where he and Isabella were hidden to lunge. A deep, animalistic growl tore from his throat as he landed in the midst of the group. The alternating flash of red and blue lights allowed the human muggles only distorted, haunting glimpses of him as he moved between them. One moment he was inches from someone's face, and in the next flash of light he was at the other side of the group. High-pitched screams bounced off the walls when they realised that Danny was more than an animated prop. In the blue-red tinted moments of clarity he could see people pressing themselves to the walls as he came close to them, seeking to get as far from the monster that he seemed as possible.

Isabella cocked up an eyebrow at Danny. His movement reminding her of a few vampires who liked to play with their 'food' before deciding it was time they fed. It didn't put her off, like it possibly would of a few months back, when he was just a new born vampire. It was thrilling to see him act, inspiring even. Isabella, despite knowing him for a long time, had never known he could pull something like this off. She should of though, considering his lovely skill at developing a new persona for any situation.
Sneaking up behind a male of the group, Isabella let her breath ghost over the back of his neck, moving out of sight before he could seek a sight of her. Making a squeal pass through his lip's, as her next target also found themselves screaming in fright.
Displaying her fangs, Isabella smiled wickedly. Catching one by the shoulders and pushing them toward a wall, about to dig her teeth into their neck, before backing off and winking. Leaving them petrified in terror. The lights only increasing the terror, as only images of her could be seen, like a clip by clip screening, only viewing them as you blinked away the darkness, or tried too.
It was only as the screams grew in intensity, that Isabella snapped out of her enjoyment, that she managed to see men with security, written in bold, white against a black shirt. Although she didn't do anything about it, till one of them spotted Danny, the other already grabbed hold of her, cupping her left wrist with silver handcuffs, before she could run.
"Oi, you there!" One of the shouted at Danny, gruff voice, muscles showed through the shirt, it was obvious that this man could handle himself. The other was the same.
Isabella wisely chose not to use force. She wasn't in the mood, she was too giddy to actually take any of this seriously. But she was unsure about whether or not Danny would. Actually she was anticipating his actions.
