Alone in Darkness

[YellowJedi]

Damien sighed. "Yeah, I guess I know what it's like to lose a friend. I'm sorry, I just didn't want you to be hurt."

 

[tamaturtle]

"It... it's okay." Faylinn said quietly, wiping her eyes and hugging herself, keeping her arms tightly wrapped around herself. "I wonder what happened at school... I think we were with the council for at least a day!"

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien shrugged. "Probably nothing exciting." he said, walking to the alley.

 

[tamaturtle]

"Sorry, but exactly how many dead bodies were there?" Faylinn laughed, moving to the end of the alleyway.

Scarlett had gone to her room, but was pacing up and dow angrily. She was still fuming about the two getting away, and had already sent people out to track them.

 

[YellowJedi]

"Five." Damien said with a small smirk, before grabbing someone and biting them. He threw the dead body aside."Your turn."

 

[tamaturtle]

Once again Faylinn couldn't help but flinch at the body, before her own urges took over. Pretty soon there were two dead bodies left on the floor. "Ball's in your court!"

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien nodded, before adding one more body to the pile. "I'm full, but go for as many more as you want."

 

[tamaturtle]

Faylinn kept going for a little longer before stepping back, deliberatly not looking at the floor. "Okay." A pause. "Damien... this'll sound weird, but... can I have a hug?"

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien blushed a little. "Uh, sure..." he said, walking over and hugging Faylinn.

 

[tamaturtle]

Faylinn made a small noise, burying her head in Damien's chest. "It-it's just... everything that's happened, I... felt like I needed one." She mumbled, wiping her eyes again. "T-thanks."

 

[YellowJedi]

"Oh, that's fine." Damien said softly. "I'm always here for you, if you ever need anything, just ask."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Thanks..." Faylinn repeated quietly, staying where she was. Then she tensed slightly, her eyes flicking upwards for a moment before she 'spoke' again. Damien... don't look now, but i don't think we're the only ones here.

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien frowned, and looked up. He kept on of his arms around Faylinn, and used the other to blast the immortals with energy, killing them without even trying.

 

[tamaturtle]

"They seemed... pretty weak." Faylinn said, twisting in Damien's arms to look. "Think they were... from the council?"

 

[YellowJedi]

"No doubt." Damien sighed. "Come on, let's get going."

 

[tamaturtle]

Faylinn nodded, stepping over the various bodies. "Well, I didn't think they were going to give up." She said weakly. "What're gonna do? They'll send stronger ones no doubt, and we're only vampires. God knows what they are."

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien followed her closely. "I'm not sure what we're going to do, but we have to stay close so we can protect each other."

 

[tamaturtle]

"Yeah. Without you, I wouldn't survive an hour, if that." Faylinn gave a nervous laugh. "You could probably live without me though."

 

[YellowJedi]

Damien blushed a little. "No I couldn't. I've noticed my powers are a lot weaker when you're not around. That, and I like having a friend." he admitted.

 

[tamaturtle]

Faylinn blushed too, looking down. "That must be due to the link..." she muttered. "And come on, you have had at least one companion once."
