Hello, hello! Me revoilà! Et ce soir avec une surprise de taille qui dort depuis presque 6 mois et que je viens d’améliorer. Vous me souvenez sans doute, il y a quelques mois, j’avais commencé à écrire, suite à une idée lancée par le Jeu de Rôle Vampire The Mascarade, une nouvelle. L’idée m’étais venue d’un personnage crée par Antoine. C’est donc son personnage, que je connais peu, qui est romancé ici avec une jeune archéologue irlandaise, qui a changé de nom depuis, elle se nommera désormais Siobhan au lieu de Saoirse. Siobhan étant un prénom irlandais, qui signifie Marie en gaélique. Je vous remet le lien vers la première partie, pour vous rappeler le contexte, et faire découvrir aux nouveaux lecteurs qui découvriront (si tant est qu’il y en est lol)! Attention la nouvelle est en anglais!

A noter, la présence d’un sondage pour savoir entre les deux titres, lequel vous paraît le plus approprié, sonnant le mieux. Place à la lecture! J’espère que cette suite vous plaira, j’ai beaucoup aimé l’écrire, et la modifier cette après-midi! Bonne lecture!
In the moon’s eyes : Part 2 Awaken
I didn’t know how long I’ve been sleeping since Thomas changed me. An hour? A day? More or less, I couldn’t tell. When I opened my eyes, everything seemed clearer to me as if a fog have been removed from my eyes. All I could remember when I was standing with Thomas in the circle room of New Grange ,was blurred like it has happened years ago.
I tried to move to have a clear view of the room where I was but couldn’t. Something around my writs and ankles was blocking my mouvements. Then I saw the chains and understood that I had been imprisonned. All of sudden, anger sprang all over my body like electricity. I was furious.
Furious but I knew those little chains were nothing that strong to stop me, I could break them so easily… But where was Thomas? Why has he dared to imprisonned me like that? Was he really so in love with me? That wasn’t a loving act to do so, in my sense.
« Where the hell am I? » I yelled, still furious to be aware that he had trick me. A strange sound came from my throat. Was I growling? Definitely, it seems that I was… I too, noticed that I could be distracted so easily, thinking of a thousand things at a time, a vampire thing, definitely.
I settled my mind again on one and only subject that included many related things : Thomas-Chains-Being-tricked-Vampire. An important part of me wanted to scream with all the force I could put on a yell and call his bloody name, but another small, but winning part was deeply analyzing why he has used these chains on me.
As I was about to call his name, a small voice broke the silence, the kind of voice I could recognise in a crowd of a thousand people.
« I am sorry Siobhan, so sorry. Just a few more hours to wait and you’ll be fine… or a at least better. Though I don’t think better is the appropriate word, as I’m not sure you’ll find this condition and new life better than it was for you before. I just hope one day you’ll forgive me and maybe fit into our kind of life. » Saying so, his head was down, his body still in the shadows, it was impossile for me to see his expression and face. He took a step ahead, in my direction and continued :
« To answer your question, here, -he gestures towards the walls- is my modest house ». There were a bit more confidence in his voice, and his expression was fierce, beautiful, and noble. But then, again, his face transformed on a concerned and sad one, as if the words he was telling were so heavy in his no more pounding chest :
« I didn’t intend to … imprison you, as you think, but it is the only way… » He turned his face, so as I couldn’t see him anymore, and turned his back on me. It was too theatrical for me, I exploded :
« The only way? Are you sure those -I said, moving my writs inches from the wall, making the chains tinkling- are enough to stop me? Thomas, I know I can free myself just by one tiny movement, you know that! I feel so strong, so unbreakable, don’t you understand? »
« Oh, I understand better than you can imagine, love! Oh, yes, I know what is happening to you, how anger is an easy emotion like a venom in your body, making you the worst predator around here!
Of course, you can break those chains, and even break everything on your way, even myself, as in your state, you can clearly kill me. » His words constrated a lot with the manner he was saying them, matter of factly, as if he doesn’t care in the world having a monster in his house that could finish off every human being or animal in the area around. Thinking of it made me feel thirsty. He turned to me again, this time more concerned and grave that ever. I notice how vampires were good actors, but the main problem to me, was that I was now one of them.
« But you need to contain that … energy inside of you, for your sake, my own, and the sake of our kind. -His face changed to fear, his marble skin sweating- If not, they will go back to life, find us, and destroy our lives. But be sure this death will be far worse and unbearable, not those peaceful and easy human deaths. That will be punishment for you and me. Do you want that? Siobhan, is that what you want? » He told me, so close to me, both angry and fearful at the same time. « I was sure you were able to contain the monster inside of you, but maybe I was mistaken… » He was disapointed now, and I just couldn’t bear it.
« Thomas, I yelled a bit too desperate than I expected in the tone of my voice, Wait, please! I’m sorry, I didn’t know it was so dangerous for you… You haven’t explain, you didn’t tell… I’m sorry » I said pleading.
« Of course, you didn’t know,he snapped. How could you? You were human, and you couldn’t know those things, love. » His tone softened now. « You cannot imagine how dangerous and highly structured is the vampire world, my ward. But today is not the time to tell thoses frightening stories! Although not frightening for us. » He said, caresseing my skin gently with the back of his fingers, and I was surprised to notice that his touch was no longer ice-cold, but now warm. I nodded, letting myself go in his touch. But I had more important things to think about. I didn’t want Thomas to be disapointed by me as a vampire, because I knew he has chosen me. I couldn’t bear the thought of me being a waste or a burden to him. Not after all the interest he has shown in me…
I notice that my interest in Thomas, already high as a human, even if I didn’t want to admit it, was growing more and more. It wasn’t a feeling of interest, or just a relation between a student and his master. It was more than that. But could that be… love?

Bonne soirée! Argaelle.











You feel like liberation

















(Le soir d’Evento, la biennale d’art contemporain, sur la passerelle!)
Olivier et Antoine sur la passerelle Evento!
Des arcades? Mais oui, nous sommes Cours du Chapeau Rouge!


Ses arcades : 



Mais que lui fait-il face?
Ou deux?? (vers place Tourny)



Et pour finir, je reviens Place de la Bourse, et sa fontaine des Trois Grâces car, en octobre, pour la lutte contre le cancer du sein, elle se parre de rose et que je m’étais promise de la prendre en photo! C’est chose faite!


J’espère que cela vous a plu! Bonne journée et à très bientôt pour de nouvelles photos!
Façade Romane de la Cathédrale Saint André
Une vue latérale
Le Portail Royal, qui fut la première entrée dans la cathédrale, ce n’est plus le cas aujourd’hui. Comme vous pouvez le voir, il est fort sale!
Depuis la rue Vital Carles, avec la fameuse entrée principale!
Deux autres vues.

Une maquette, place Jean Moulin, nous montre ce que l’on peut voir dans le quartier! Les armes de Bordeaux y sont figurées :
Non loin de là, un magnifique couple de statues auquel il manque une plaque pour indiquer qui sont les personnages représentés! (Je ne sais pas pourquoi, je pense à chaque fois à Judith et Holopherne, sachant qu ce n’est pas le cas!)
Derrière elles, se dresse le Centre Jean Moulin, musée de la Résistance:
Sur la place de l’Hotel de Ville, le Palais Rohan, qui est l’Hotel de Ville justement!
Si l’on tourne au bout à droite, on tombe sur La Rue des 3 Conils, que j’aime bien avec ses petites banderoles :
Et si nous partons sur la gauche, nous allons à la rencontre d’un ancien monument médiéval dont il ne reste que deux tours, Le Fort du Hâ: 







Une droguerie que j’aime bien, Rue des 3 Conils
Près de la rue des Argentiers
Au détour d’une rue, une église…
L’autonme est bien là…
Ce jaune est sublime… C’est un effet de mon appareil, la photo n’est pas retravaillée…
Un petit coin d’Angleterre dans Bordeaux : 






Vue depuis la rue Saint Rémi, puis du miroir d’eau…








Le Pont de Pierre reliant Rive Gauche à Rive Droite
Vue Rive Droite : 



Vue tournée vers la Garonne, entrée royale
Statues de Charles VIII (centre), Saint Jean-Baptiste (gauche), et de l’Arvêque d’Epinay (droite)
Puis un morceau du rempart…
Quelques macarons, spécificité de Bordeaux :







Le Caroussel, Place Tourny :
Une autre institution… ou est en ce moment mon amoureux : Mollat et ses enseignes :
