Story prompt based on Dream! Happy reading
Hello Jaspeth fans!!!!!!!!! I hope you’re all doing well, and off to the start of a great week! I wanted to share sort of a story prompt stemming from a dream I had. Remember I am not a professional writer and never claimed to be, also I didn’t have this beta’ed so all grammar, spelling mistakes, etc are all mine.
I was hoping that maybe some of you more talented writers could maybe pick this up and continue or if not could just let me know what you think.
I guess im starting this as a drabble because it’s from a dream I had last night so I kind of had to fill in some details when I woke up.
Details:
I imagined jasper and seth as looking like the actors from the movie Jackson Rathbone and BooBoo Stewart
Jasper-vampire same history as books in the southern vampire wars, youngest major, scars, etc
Seth- Human (around the age 14/15yrs old)
-I dreamt of him having long hair at first, like Taylor Lautner’s “Jacob” did in the movies.
Past: While a Major in the Confederate Army Jasper met and fell in love with Seth’s ancestor grandmother Nia. She was a beautiful Native American woman. Through all the violence Jasper has to endure during the war he found comfort in riding miles upon miles just to see her face. Jasper thought he would marry Nia and go on to father many children and die happy. All was changed when Jasper was changed by a vampire. Like any new born vampires jasper’s thirst for blood never seemed to be satisfied . Since turning he never returned to Nia’s tribe, so Nia worrying about him set off to find him. She stumbled upon Jasper just as he finished feeding on a fellow solider. Nia was shocked and screamed. Upon seeing her Jasper first thought was to feed on her as well, but something in him pushed through to stop him, told her to leave him, to run as fast as she could. Nia cried but ran away. Jasper if had a heart that continued to beat, would have felt it break at the sight of Nia crying over him…
Present: Jasper is a very very tough critic. He reviews plays, movies, exhibits and eateries. He has lived a long time as a vampire so he is often praised as one the best critics for his extensive knowledge in history about the things he is critiquing.
Upon arriving Washington State the review a huge exhibit being displayed at the History Museum, Jasper decided to take a trip to one of the local Indian reservations. He often liked to visit reservations in many states to learn more about different tribes and all that, but deep down looking at all the art, pictures; tools reminded him of his beloved Nia. Yes she was long gone by now, only her great, great ,great grandchildren survinging her, but jasper still liked to remember her as the young women who held his heart. Reaching into his pocket he pulled out a worn braided piece of hide band, it held the colors of red, black, and green threaded through. The same one Nia always wore to keep her hair in an neat braid, though he often saw nia’s hair slipping out to halo her face and only keeping the braid towards to end. He laughed dryly, the band didn’t seem to always do its job, but he thought that’s when Nia looked to most beautiful.
When he arrived at the reservation entrance he parked his car in the parking lot outside the gate. While walking to the entrance he saw a small gift shop. He didn’t really liked gift shops at places like these because he felt the authentic feel of a reservation had been lost for commercial value. Kinda like how you can buy a DreamCatcher at Bed, Bath, and Beyond now. Something told him to go inside, to just see maybe he could find something that maybe his friend’s children might like.
Jasper entered and the sound of a bell, he looked around not seeing anyone around he said “Hello!” He heard a small voice from the down one of aisles say “Welcome! Ill be there in a minute.” Jasper yelled back an “ok!” he looked around the store had some nice things; he could see already several items to his liking. As he turned to look at something. He heard “hey sorry, what can I do for you?” He turned and if he had a heart beat still it would stilled for a moment. In front of him a young man who looked 14 maybe 15 years old with a bright smile placing a box on the counter. Jasper took in his appearance yes he was defiantly young, he had almost a eternal childlike aura about him with he pearly white smile, his hair was in a long braid that came around to rest over and down his collarbone. His hair up top came loose and was staring to unwind down to the braided band, a braid that held the colors red, black, and green. Jasper stared hard, reaching in his pocket clutching the Nia’s braided band in his pocket. His eyes trailed back up to see the hair loose at the top haloing the young mans face. Jasper thought process seemed to stop. He had to get a hold of himself, he normal wasn’t like this, and he did not know what possessed him to act in such a manner. “Sir” he heard the young man say, “Where you looking for anything?” Jasper swallowed thickly looking into the young person eyes “uh..”. That’s when the world seemed to stop turning. This young mans eyes, reminded him of someone that would have made his heartache all over again, emotions that he had buried away long ago. Jasper was speechless, he couldn’t focus on anything but the young man in front of him, and that’s when he realized he had fallen.
***Ok guys don't kill me if you didn't like it, again it was just an dream that i turned into a prompt. Like i said before if you would like to continue it please do! I would love to see where others take this. :o)
