Escape

[Shenzii]

"Safe?" She asked looking over at him and curling up.

[Vamp]

"Yeah, I'll protect you," Vamp said. "To be honest, you are one of my first real friends. Also, you're part of the family now." He said with an uplifting tone in his voice.

[Shenzii]

She smiled and lay her head on his chest. "Thank you... For being so open and kind." She shut her eyes and hummed a slow tune. "You never answered me from before... What were you doing before the wave hit?"

[Vamp]

Vamp put his arm around Rowan's shoulder and held  her close. " I was living in an alley about two miles away. Rowan?"

[Shenzii]

"Yea?" She answered sleepily. She yawned softly and nuzzled his chest.

[Vamp]

"I love you." he whispered.

[Shenzii]

Her eyes shot open. She sat up and looked at him. "What did you say?" Her ears lay back. She bit her bottom lip and looked at him.

[Vamp]

"I love you. Truly." he repeated.

[Shenzii]

She moved closer to him and looked into his eyes. "You... love me? But how? We just met..." She bit her lower lip and pinned him. "You need to think this through thoroughly."

[Vamp]

"I don't know, I just kinda felt a connection to you. And every time I'm near you, I feel at peace, even with the world the way it is right now, eveything just feels like it will sort itself out."he looked into her eyes, as blue as the noon sky, "I love you."

[Shenzii]

Her lips quivered holding back a smile. A tear ran down her face. She didn't know whether to be happy, or to hold onto the past and the one she once loved. She held him in place, her strength oddly surpassing his. Her blue eyes shut as she kissed him. She pulled away quickly and stood up, stumbling backwards. "I... I'm sorry..." She said before running out of the room and out the front door. She stood in the moon light, looking around in all directions. She quickly fell to her knees and let out her cry. Anger filled her tone as she hit the street. Her cries echoed the streets. Pull your self together, everything will be ok. I'll protect you. Her brother's last words rang in her mind. She curled up on the cold street and continued to sob. "Tristan, I'm so confused... I need your help... Where are you?" She called, frightened. The crystal around her neck illuminated brightly, warding off any cat's who approached.

[Vamp]

Vamp ran out the door after Rowan. He could still taste her kiss on his lips. He found her crouching on the sidewalk. Her pendent seemed to glow a soft blue light. He knelt down. Hugged her. "Come on. Lets get inside." he whispered, then he kissed her cheek and they walk inside.

*Kistrev was rocking and rolling in his sleep on the couch.... he saw his family starving, cat's, death... he moaned and tossed*

[Shenzii]

Rowan walked behind him. She held her arms and hugged her body. She wiped her face off and shook her head. As they entered the restaurant she curled up on the opposite side of the couch and shut her eyes.

When Orin entered the house, his hopes of finding non-demonic life were basically crumpled up and tossed to the side. He saw bodies strewn about, some with the torso missing, some without heads, some with heads but no body. He continued up the stairs until he came upon two hunters clawing at a closed closet. Without a single thought, he leaped at them and changing into his 'other' form, tore them apart, their blood dotting his now gray-white fur. Greed devours those who always hunger he thought as he opened the closet door.
