He had a booth entirely to himself, which wasn’t that weird. The bar was mostly empty there was a bartender working behind the booth and a couple people sat away from him so it wasn’t like they were running out of seats. The clock showed it to be half past four in the AM, which was probably why it was so empty. Maybe it was a bar that didn’t get many visitors even during peak drinking hours. Why it was kept open he wasn’t exactly sure there were only a couple people in the bar maybe six not including the bartender was that really enough of a profit to cover their costs? He wasn’t sure but then again, he didn’t really care either, it wasn’t like it was his business after all. Electricity was cheap now, maybe with that the bulk of their expenses were down. Why he was even thinking about it he didn’t know, maybe it was because he didn’t have much else to think about. He wasn’t going to be in town for long after all. In his hands he gripped an almost finished bottle of whiskey, half an hour, he had gotten there around half an hour ago. When he drove in town and when he found out the motel wasn’t going to be open until five the first thing, he did was find a dive bar that wasn’t closed, and if there was none, he would have brought a bottle from an off license and drank that in the street if he had to. He preferred that option but he wasn’t sure how legal it was. He didn’t have the time, energy or want to check the specific laws of every single state that he stepped into. He didn’t plan to be in one place for long after all. Drinking to pass the time was starting to become a steady habit of his, his hand gripped the neck of the bottle with tightness that would have turned his fingers white if he were normal. No if he were to try and grip the drink that tight he would crush the bottle in his hands. Something he had learned from experience. That experience was part of why he stuck to the roads so much. He didn’t trust himself around other people for too long. H

e rested his head in his free hand feeling the wild stubble on his face rub against his calloused palms. If it weren’t for the burn of the strong whiskey that slid down his throat, he would have been sure that he was drinking water for the little good it did. To him drinking whiskey had no stronger effect then water.

That was a discovery that he didn’t think that he would ever be happy about. Of course, he tried ways to get around it, he tried downing a bottle instead of slowly finishing it, he tried multiple bottles, he tried other drinks, he tried mixing. All that happened was that he got weird looks and he left with a wallet that felt emptier. Not that he cared anymore about what was in his wallet, he was crashing through his savings on cheap liquor, motel rooms and fuel. But what was the point in saving during the end of the world. It wasn’t the actual end of the world but to him it felt like it. It was the end of his world. The only thing he had left of importance to him was the silver locket around his neck that gave him more comfort than the big iron on his hip even if trying to touch it directly would burn his skin. His revolver was one of his other last mementos and so was his bike, the one that she hated. When he heard the door push open, a bell ringing his hand instinctively went to his holster as he smelt her.

It had been a long fucking night. The understatement of the century really she thought to herself as she made her way through the streets looking for somewhere, anywhere, that was open. She had had to feed tonight and she hated it every time. She always went as long as she possible could without having to hunt down some innocent person and get them to trust her enough to let their guard down. She had gone too far the first couple of times, accidentally draining too much blood from the people and having to deal with the consequences of that. Since then she'd learned to be more careful. She didn't even need to have that much but the more she had at a time the less often she had to feed and that was something she cherished. When she finally saw the neon sign of the bar her eyes lit up, and not in the way they seemed to glow when she was in need of fresh blood either. She was just relieved. She knew it had to be getting closer and closer to dawn and she was shocked that anywhere was even open. She made her way into the bar the slight smell of werewolf hitting her nose. She could never tell if it was just lingering or if there was one nearby, her senses were nowhere near as keen as the full blooded vampires. She didn't really care either way, she was desperate for a drink to wash away the lingering taste of iron on her tongue, and maybe dull the overwhelming guilt and shame she was feeling too. She was lucky in that way, being closer to human than anything else she was still able to dull her emotions with the burn of liquor. She slid onto one of the many empty barstools and ordered herself a whiskey, on the rocks. She needed it to be cold, anything warm would probably make her retch right now. When the bartended slid the drink over to her she sipped it like it was the best thing she had ever tasted, finishing it way to fast and ordering another. It wasn't until she had the second drink in her hand that she finally turned to take in her surroundings. The n

early empty bar would have probably been depressing to most people but she found it oddly comforting. It probably would have been too overwhelming right now to be round a large crowd and she didn't want to risk losing control of herself. She couldn't help but notice the man who was sitting in one of the booths gripping the neck of an entire bottle of whiskey like it was his anchor to the world. She let herself wonder why every person that was in here was here, what they must be dealing with to be in the nearly empty bar at this god awful time. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

He had ignored the scent of blood that followed vampires around once and that was a mistake that he had sworn to never make again. To him it didn’t matter that the smell seemed different to what he was used to smelling, his keen senses could smell a vampire and he wasn’t going to ignore it. Slowly he pulled himself to his feet dressed in a black shirt, jeans and a leather jacket he was used to drawing people's attention now a frown forming on his face as he saw the woman look at him. She was a vampire right. His hands clenched into fists as he rose to his full height of 6’4. He took quick steps to where the woman was drinking, part of him was surprised to see a blood sucker drink but that surprise was quickly pushed down. Why should he care about them. She could eat a full course meal and that wouldn’t change the fact that she was a vampire. When he got to her, he grabbed the seat next to her, his arm thick with muscle pulling it out before he took a seat. He wasn’t stupid, the bartender had no idea what he was serving. He needed to be subtle he knew that. As he sat his shoulder almost touched her, normally it would have, his broadness normally made sitting next to people awkward, she loved it. That thought was buried somewhere deep down with everything else he couldn’t think about thrown away before they consumed him. His hand that wasn’t gripping the neck of his bottle of whiskey didn’t move away from his holster but instead of keeping it still he undid the straps and pulled it back exposing a large high calibre revolver that made his hand seem small. “I am not in the mood to deal with your kind. Leave now vampire.” He told her gruffly his voice dark and as he looked at her his eyes flashed yellow the anger unmissable. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

She could smell the scent of him getting stronger and stronger the closer he got and that's when she knew she might be in serious danger. She had thought maybe it was just the lingering scent of someone being there before but there wasn't a doubt in her mind now that the massive man who was approaching the bar was a werewolf. Aster honestly wasn't there looking for any trouble so she kept her gaze forward as she sipped her drink, trying to ignore the panic and urge to flee that was spiking in her blood. His words made her pause halfway as she was lifting her glass to her mouth again before she took another sip. "I'm not here to cause any trouble" she said softly so the bartender wouldn't hear their exchange. The anger in his voice was obvious even though she'd done nothing, well, nothing since she had been at the bar. The thought of what the night had held before she made her way here made her stomach turn. "Please just leave me alone I'm not looking for a fight" she didn't bother to mention the fact that she likely wouldn't win a fight against him either. Aster was small, standing at 5'4 she was at least a foot shorter than the man and she certainly wasn't muscular. Maybe if she was a full blooded vampire she would stand a chance but she wasn't. She wondered if he could tell she was weaker than others and that's why he approached. The hand on his large revolver wasn't missed either and she could only assume it was loaded with silver, one, maybe two bullets would be enough to kill her. Finally turning to look at him with eyes so light blue they were nearly silver she asked again "Please just leave me alone" @AllJack

He wished that she did just run, he didn’t miss the smell of her fear, the way her heart raced as she seemed to panick before he spoke glaring at her as she only continued to drink. She may have been telling him that she wasn’t there to fight, that she wanted him to leave her alone but that didn’t change what she was. His family would have wanted to be left alone he was sure but that didn’t matter to them. “I don’t care why you’re here, leave I was here before you.” He told her with a glare to him it didn’t matter that she may have been a woman. She was a vampire how many people she had killed already he didn’t know. He remembered the first time the vampire he had hunted was a woman. He had let her go because she had reminded him of his wife. The next time he had hunted her three more people had been killed. “I’m going to kill every vampire I see, so leave now because I don’t want to trash this bar.” He told her with a glare before he paused. Heartbeat? He leaned forward to make sure that he wasn’t miss hearing his lips almost pressing against the skin of her neck. Before the bite he was never this brash. At least not with strangers. The beating of her heartbeat wasn’t something he was mishearing. “You smell like one of them but your heart it’s beating what are you?” He asked her with a glare but a little of the hostility was fading as he sheathed his revolver his hand still on the gun in case, she tried to make a sudden move against him as he tried to not be trapped by how silver her eyes were. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

She felt than same panic running hot through her blood at his threats but this was the only place she had seen that was open in what seemed like the entire town. She needed this liquor to numb her mind and it's not like there was an open liquor store available either. Her heart was hammering in her chest so hard when he leaned in closer, the stench of werewolf was completely unmistakable than and she thought for a brief moment he was gonna rip her throat out even in this form. "I'm not leaving, I'm not bothering anyone and you don't even know me" She managed to grit out as he was leaning in close to her. She had never met someone so hell bent on wiping out vampires before and if her night hadn't already been hell she would have taken off running. "I'm.. I'm more human than vampire" She said quietly flicking her eyes back to his, maybe he'd be able to tell she wasn't lying if he gave her a second look. "They call us dhampirs" She said us but she had never met another person or creature like herself. It made her feel so alone, not fitting in with humans or vampires. The humans fearing vampires would never accept that she was only part "monster" and the vampires shunned her for being a so called "half breed". It was a lonely existence but she made the most of it. "All I'm trying to do is get drunk and by the looks of it you're doing the same" She gestured to the mostly empty whiskey bottle @AllJack

Really, he knew that letting her go was a bad idea. He had made a promise to kill every last vampire he had seen and she shouldn’t be any different. His hand gripped the handle of his revolver more tightly the smell of blood coming from her making his eyes flash. He probably would have tried shooting her if it weren’t for the heartbeat he had heard. A stubborn man he felt like no one would ever be able to prove to him that any vampires were worth sparing. She was kind of lucky there were other people in the bar. “I don’t need to know you vampire, I don’t want to know you.” he told her before he processed her words, he processed the fact that she wasn’t a normal vampire. If it was just her saying it, he wouldn’t have believed her, but while the smell of blood on her was clear it was also clear that some of that blood was her own. “Do you kill people when you feed on them?” He asked her before he shook his head and turned away from her. “Try and touch me and I will shoot you. I'm here to drink not to talk.” He told her gruffly flicking off the lid to his drunk before he took a large gulp enjoying the burn of the booze even if it did very little for him. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

"I.. I've learned not to" She answered honestly, if he was going to kill her she certainly wasn't going to die a liar. She had made her mistakes and they ate her alive every waking moment of her life. "You don't need to do that I haven't done anything. I wouldn't touch you." That was true. She didn't plan on invading his space, if anything he had invaded hers, she could still feel the heat radiating off of him from how close he sat. "Why can't you just leave me alone?" She was getting frustrated, sure she was scared but this also seemed like a lot to her. She hadn't done anything to this man for him to be so angry with her. Something else must have happened to him that she wasn't aware of but it wasn't her problem and it wasn't her fault. She ordered another drink for herself knowing it was going to take at least one more to feel even a remote buzz and she was on a mission to get more than that. She wanted to forget the night no matter how long she had to sit at that bar. When the bartended slid her this one she sipped it, the burn barely registering to her after the night she had already had. @AllJack

He wasn’t sure how to take her words, learned not to? So, she did kill people but she stopped. Why? Was it because she didn’t want to or because it was smarter to not leave a body? He didn’t know but to him the answer did matter. “I’m still going to, if you try to touch me, I will shoot you. I don’t trust you but I still don’t plan on hurting you.” He told her gruffly a frown on his face as he pulled his drink to his lips and took a sip. “Me leave you alone? I entered this bar before you.” he told her watching her order another drink. He was planning on getting up and leaving soon. Maybe he would order another bottle and go back to his booth but he wasn’t planning on staying up too late. There was no point in him getting another bottle. Then he smelled it. He frowned as he smelt more vampires but unlike her they smelt like regular vampires. Putting down his drink he let his feet rest on the floor before he got out of his seat and looked at her. “There are two vampires coming towards us and judging by their pheromones they are not just hear to chat. If you care about making sure that the bartender and no one else is brought into whatever it is that’s about to happen you will come with me.” He told her is voice gruff his hand resting on his holster ready for the fight that he was sure was coming. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

"Gee thanks?" Was all she could make herself say when he said he wasn't going to kill her as long as she didn't try to touch him, she had no idea why he would assume she would it's not like it was in her typical repertoire to go around touching strangers. "Either way I'm not leaving so.." She sipped her drink again unable to find herself bothered at the frown plastered on his face. It wasn't her business why he was so upset with her being there. She would know if she had ever brought him harm, she could remember the faces of everyone she ever had. Before he could even say anything she could sense their presence in the room. It made her blood run cold as ironic as that seemed even to her when she felt them enter the bar. She knew then that it was going to go one of two ways, either they would pretend she wasn't there and ignore here existence, or they would try to end it. "I know I can feel them" She said back but his next words caught her by surprise, he went from wanting to kill her himself to telling her to go with him if she didn't want the other vamps to take her down. "She took the last sip of her drink and nodded. "I don't want anyone to get hurt, I'll go with you" She wanted to add not to hurt her but at this point it seemed useless. If he wanted her dead there was little she was going to be able to do about it. @AllJack

He had upset her he could tell that pretty clearly but he didn’t feel bad whenever he looked at her, he kept picturing those who had massacred his family. He didn’t trust her, if he didn’t hear her heart beat, he might have shot her anyway even with witnesses. Yes, he wanted to have a bed to sleep in today but he had to he would grab his bike and go somewhere else. He knew how to be untraceable, unfollowable. Before he had smelt the vampires he was about to get up and sit somewhere else, to go back to his booth and never speak to her again but as he stood up, he realised that plan probably wasn’t going to work anymore. “Just follow me and try to pretend that you haven’t noticed them.” He told her raising his drink to his lips to down the last fifth of his bottle. He saw it as good luck, and hopefully the smell of booze on him would be able to keep them from realising that the werewolf scent was coming from him as they both got up before he gripped her wrist and led her out of the bar into an alleyway before he stopped. “Stand there in the middle of sight and I will sneak up on them.” He told her before he walked away from her to hide in the dark of the alley. He was just standing with his back against the wall if they looked, they would see him but he was partially expecting them to focus on her. And if they didn’t then well, he would still kill them. His thumb flipped the cover that kept him from drawing his revolver before he pulled it up ready to fire but still low enough to avoid glinting off any moon light or other stray lights as he stood quietly ready to fight. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

"Okay" she nodded when he told her to follow him and pretend that she hadn't noticed them. That part was a little more difficult when she could feel the fear running though her veins. She got up when he did and followed him out of the bar, wincing when he gripped her wrist and led her into the alleyway. She had thought maybe he was just going to lead her to safety and then they would part ways but when they got to the alley she realized quickly that he had other ideas. "Are you insane?!" She hissed out as she looked at him like he was a crazy person, her eyes had quickly adjusted to the dark of the alley, hey eyes glowing in the bit of moon light that made its way to them. Her heart was racing as she waited for the incoming vampires, she could sense them getting closer and she knew that she was in danger. She knew they wanted her dead. She never understood why, she was weaker than them for fucks sake. Was it because she could go out in the day time? Or was it the lack of immortality? She couldn't wrap her head around it. She heard their footfalls coming towards her and braced herself for the attack. She didn't truly believe that he was going to do anything to save her and honestly she wasn't certain she was against the imminent death she thought was coming. She wouldn't ever have to hurt anyone ever again so if he decided to let her die then so be it, she didn't stand a chance against two full blooded vampires anyway. @AllJack

When he heard her hissed words, he thought about telling her to trust him but the words felt too weird to make them leave his lips. He didn’t trust her, why would he they were strangers and he didn’t expect her to trust him. But he was fully planning to protect her. Of course, he never told her that was his plan, he had told her to go with him, but he never promised her safety. The only safety he had talked about were the people in the bar. Maybe telling her that he would protect her would have made her feel safer. But he believed that actions spoke louder than words. She had no reason to believe him not really. The two vampires stopped in front of her their fangs barring as if they were going to feed on her like she was a normal human. Their mouths opened about to say something before they paused, noses wrinkling as if they were both catching onto his scent but by that point it was already too late. He focused on the closest one as he raised his revolver slamming the butt of the hand canon into the vampire's temple knocking them to the ground dazed. Of course, it wasn’t enough to kill the vampire, even with his strength but it brought time as he cocked his arm back pointing it towards the chest of the other vampire.

19:39

Yes, like him vampires were quick, if they weren’t caught off guard maybe they would have been able to dodge it but when he pulled the trigger and there was a loud bang his wrist flicking upward from the kick of the revolver the blood hunter was unable to avoid the shot in time. He moved trying to avoid it but instead of moving away he moved towards the revolver toting werewolf out of instinct and the bullet pierced through his side. Making him stumble and fall to the ground like his body was being filled with cement his muscles going tense, the pale skin of his body turning blue. Myths believed that a stake to the heart or the sunlight was the only way to kill a vampire. But he had found that silver was more than enough to kill most vampires. To kill any supernatural, he was sure. It was the great equaliser. The blue spread through the undead’s body, turning it into ash as if he was stood in the sunlight while he lashed out with his boot stomping on the back of the other vampire that was trying to get up. He felt something break under the heel of his boot, and the vampire cried out in pain, but he wasn’t in pain long as he finished the man off with another shot of his revolver his eyes then looking up at the dhampire that was braced for an attack. “You can relax now.” He told her his voice gruff; he didn’t put away his revolver yet, but he did move his finger off the trigger and he made no move to point it at her. “Do you know why they wanted you?” @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

She watched the two vampires get closer and closer and couldn't help but brace herself for the attack, when they paused she wanted to take off running but she knew that if they gave chase they would catch her easily, there was no point in delaying the inevitable. Before she could even register what was going on the three of them were fighting and all she could do was watch the scene play out, compared to the three of them she really didn't have much to offer. She was stronger and faster than your average human but not by much, nowhere near the level that they were. When the loud crack of the revolver rang out in the air she covered her ears and ducked to the ground out of instinct, out of fear. She had never really seen a vampire die, certainly not this close up and it terrified her. Would that be what happened to her when she finally died? When someone or something finally killed her? Was that all she was going to become? Ash in the wind? She was to dumbfounded to move, paralyzed with fear until he finally spoke to her again and she rose to her feet on shaky legs. "Because I'm not a full blooded vampire. They hate me because of that." @AllJack

He didn’t relax until he knew that the vampires were dead, not missing the woman's reaction to him firing his revolver as he watched the vampires fade away before he looked up at her. With the hand that was on his revolver he twisted it making the champers pop out before he reached into his pocket with his free hand pulling out a pack of silver bullets. That looked as if they were homemade. “We’ll they're the ones that are dead not you so you can relax. But we can’t stay here long. People will have heard the gunshots.” He pointed out to her. With that he reached into the pack and pulled out a silver bullet ignoring the way that it made his skin burn and stinge quickly slipping it into the chamber of his revolver before he did the same with another bullet to reload his revolver. Once he was done, he shook his hand and then twisted his wrist making the chamber snap back into place inside of the revolver allowing him to fire again. Of course, he didn’t instead he switched the safety on and slipped it back inside of its holster before he looked over at the woman. “How about we make a deal then. You stick with me, drink some of my blood when you're hungry instead of feeding on humans and every vampire that comes after you let me put them in the ground.” He offered. He had never met anyone that wasn’t a full-blooded vampire before, he never knew that it was possible, but he saw this as an opportunity. He could use her presence to kill every vampire that came to them. It beat having to seek them out all the time. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

It took her a few long moments before she finally stood up, when he said they were the ones who were dead and not her. He didn't aim the revolver at her next so she tried to steal herself and got back to her feet. "Sorry.. it scared me it was loud." She couldn't help but notice when the silver bullets seemed to burn his skin and she wondered how he managed to craft them at all. "You really won't hurt me?" Was all she could think to ask when he told her his idea, to stick together and that he would protect her from the vampires that came after her. She couldn't help but be intrigued, it may not have happened often but that's because she did her absolute best to avoid them. "Drinking your blood won't hurt me either?" She really didn't know how it worked he was a werewolf she knew that much and she wasn't sure if his blood would make her sick, she had tried to feed on animals before and it had made her feel like she was dying. "Let's at least get out of this area for now" she knew they at least needed to do that, the last thing she wanted to deal with was the police. @AllJack

Her apology just made him shrug as he watched her stand up. He had no intentions of shooting her. Not unless she gave him a reason to of course. “It’s fine, you’ll get used to it.” He told her simply before he heard her question. “So long as you don’t give me a reason to hurt you I won’t. So don’t attack me and warn me when you're hungry and we’ll be okay.” He told her his voice gruff. Her question about her blood made him pause before he shook his head. “I don’t know.” He admitted to her with a hum. “We can figure that out later. Right now, we do need to get out of here.” He told her in agreement before he pointed towards the alleyway. “Follow me the motel I was planning to rent a room from should be open by now.” Expecting her to follow he started to walk without another word said to her, his steps were quick, but they weren’t taken quick as he made sure that she would be able to keep up with him as he led her over to the motel. His revolver was slipped away with the safety back on seemingly done fighting unless something else happened. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

"If you say so" she mumbled unsure of how anyone could get used to a noise that loud, her hearing wasn't even as acute as pure blood vampires she couldn't imagine how many of them must have heard the commotion if any where even remotely near by. That thought alone made fear spike in her again. "Okay" she said quietly brushing the dirt off of her from when she had knelt on the ground before she started to follow him, she had to work to keep his pace being so much smaller than he was but at least they were going to safety. It didn't even cross her mind that he could easily be taking her there just to end up killing her in the room, it probably should have but after everything that had just happened she couldn't help but give him at least a little trust. There was one thing that kept eating at her though as they walked 'Warn me when you're hungry.' is what he had said, but when was she supposed to warn him? Was he seriously going to let her try to drink from him? Was he gonna taste as strongly as he smelled? "I-" she cleared he throat trying to sound like she was no longer afraid, she was half vampire for fucks sake and here she was acting like a human "I'm always hungry.." that much was true she felt like she was always hungry, or thirsty was more like it, and human food and drink only kept it at bay for a certain amount of time before she had to actually consume blood. @AllJack

Maybe she wouldn’t get used to the sound of the gun firing but he did. So, it was possible. Of course, he was used to guns before he had gotten bitten, so it didn’t take him too long to get used to it again. “It won’t get any quieter, but you’ll learn that it won’t hurt you.” He told her as he heard her follow him and while he understood why she was scared she had nothing to fear from him. “If I wanted to kill you, I would have done it by now.” He pointed out to her bluntly while they walked humming as she told him that she was always hungry able to tell that she was still clearly scared of him. “Well then when you get too hungry tell me and I we can see if you can take my blood.” He told her his hands resting at his sides before he reached the motel. To make sure she knew that they were where he wanted to stop, he let his hand rest on her hip carefully guiding her inside. “I can pay for our room come on.” He whispered to her before he led her up to the front till. His hand reaching for his wallet. “One room for the night we’re not staying long.” He said his voice serious as he placed the money to pay for the room onto the table. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

"I'll be okay for at least a week.." she let the sentence die there, he didn't need to know that she had just fed today and that was the reason she would be able to hold out for so long. At least in the right circumstances, being around too many people for too long was always a challenge unless she had just fed. "Don't- don't do that" she snapped as she pulled away from his touch at the feeling of his hand on her hip. She was still terrified and she didn't want to be in his grasp if she could help it. When they made it to the front to check in she tried her best to look like she wanted to be there, she didn't want anyone to be suspicious of the man she was with and draw unwanted attention. "Where are we going after this?" She asked once they had their key and were heading towards their room. She had nothing on her but the clothes on her back and it wasn't exactly like she was planning on going anywhere when she had stumbled into the bar. @AllJack

He hummed and nodded back at her when she said that she would be able to last a week. Really it wasn’t a big issue to him so like as she wasn’t a binge drinker he could handle it. He always kept a knife on him, and he would be willing to open up a cut in his palm to fill a glass. Of course with how quickly he healed that cut would need to be deep and kept opened but he would be able to handle it. When she snapped at him he simply nodding back at her just keep up then.” He told her before he lead her up to where their room would be humming as he heard her question. “Do you have more things on you in the town that we can pick up before we leave? It didn’t seem like you were planning to leave town at the bar or that you were new and if you are a traveller then your as well prepared as a teenager the day they have to cook at school.” His comparison was pretty specific, almost weirdly specific. “There’s nowhere in specific we’ll go too. We can get on my bike when night comes tomorrow and we can just find somewhere to go.” He told her as it seemed like that was what he was planning to do even before he met her. Really it was what he always did. He didn’t like sticking to one place anymore. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

"Than a-" she shook her head any other day that might have made her laugh but she was still trying to process everything that had just happened. From him approaching her in such a scary manner at the bar, to watching him take down the vampires that were there to kill her, her head was spinning and she just wanted to go to sleep for the couple hours that she could. "- Yeah I have a few things I need to grab if that's okay." "Works for me I guess." She wasn't thrilled about not knowing where they would be or where they would be going next but maybe it was for the best. She wouldn't have to worry about keeping such a low profile and not getting close to people anymore and it would certainly be easier to stay away from the pure bloods. "So.. are you like.. a full blown werewolf?" She asked as she sat on the edge of the bed feeling restless and just wanting to get to know the person who was going to be her companion for the foreseeable future. @AllJack

Part of him was curious what she was going to say but she seemed to decide that it wasn’t important, and he believed her a hum leaving his lips as he walked with her quickly nodding his head when she asked if it would be okay. “We’d need to stop to pick you up stuff either way. It's better that we don’t just abandon your stuff.” He told her simply as he reached the door to their room that he had ordered. “Come in.” He told her without even thinking about it, not knowing that she would need to be allowed in to enter as he held the door open for her before he stepped in with her locking the door behind him. Was it to lock her in with him? Maybe that would be how she took it but really it was to try and keep anyone else from trying to enter. He was a werewolf after all, he didn’t like it when people entered his territory uninvited. Her question made him think for a moment before he took off his holster removing his revolver with it and set it down onto the table before he sat down on the edge of the bed with her. “If you're worried that I’m going to lose control and go all animal on you I know how to control myself.” He started meaning his words to say that he could control his blood lust, but it had been a while since he’s had a proper conversation with anyone that he probably should have phrased it better. “But yes, I am a werewolf have been ever since I was bit during full moons, I tend to chain myself down.” He explained. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

She couldn't help but be a bit embarrassed when he had to invite her in before she made her way inside to sit on the edge of the bed, her question hanging heavy in the air before he answered her and the answer she got didn't bring her much comfort. "Chain yourself down.. so you don't attack anyone or?" She had heard of werewolves of course seeing as they didn't exactly have a great relationship with vampires but she hadn't ever actually had a conversation with one. She was nervous and rightfully so, the door was locked and she was in a room with a creature she didn't think she could fully trust. "Do you sleep?" She couldn't help but ask him knowing that she would eventually need to get at least a few hours to be able to keep going and functioning at her best, especially after the draining night she had had, even before she ever got to the bar. "Am I ever gonna be able to come home again?" Her mind went back to him saying it was better for her to not leave her things behind, probably to avoid being reported missing or something she could only assume. @AllJack

“Mostly yeah, during the full moon my blood lust grows so while I think I might be able to control it if I try really hard, I don’t see it as a risk I want to take so I just use chains.” he told her honestly able to tell how nervous she was. Really, he hoped she would just calm down and relax. if he wanted to hurt her, he would have done it already, but he had no reason to. “I don’t sleep always but I try to. I've learned to sleep during the day so that I’m more awake while hunting vampires but if you do sleep then go to bed whenever you want. You can take one half of it, I'll take the other.” only one room with one bed, it was clear that they were going to need to share. His reason for telling her to get her stuff wasn’t really so no one would assume her to be missing. It was just that it saved time since that way they wouldn’t need to rebuy her stuff. And when he heard her question, he waved his hand. “You're not a hostage here, you can go home now if you’d like, but I get the feeling there isn’t a lot keeping you here really. If you do come with maybe we’ll return here at some point, maybe not. I don’t know let’s just see where the wind takes us. That's what I like to do.” He was honest with her really honest with her to a point of being blunt. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

She nodded to herself and made a mental note to keep better track of when the full moons were going to be, she didn't want to end up getting slaughtered by him by mistake somehow especially if his blood lust was higher the entire time. "I'm exhausted" she answered honestly. She wanted to take a shower and wash the entire day off but she didn't have fresh clothes yet so she didn't see the point in it. She laid down even though it was still absolutely impossible to relax with him in the room. "If I don't sleep for at least a couple hours I get hungry faster. I wish I could go without completely like the other vampires." She sighed it was exhausting not fitting into either world. "Well.. I guess I can manage that." She gave the smallest smile and pulled the blanket over herself to get more comfortable. "How long has it been since you turned?" @AllJack

Of course, if the full moon came, he would be ready, he kept heavy chains laced with wolfsbane in his bag. While he was smart enough normally to be able to split out of them but during full moons if he lost himself to his impulses then his body wouldn’t be smart enough to try to slip out of it. It would strain and yank at the chains no matter the futility. “Being able to sleep is surely better then not being able to sleep at all. I'm glad that werewolves are still able to sleep.” he admitted to her watching as she got down onto the bed and lied down. He was feeling pretty tired himself. His plan was to fall asleep the moment he got inside the motel. Her question made him hum as he walked over to the bed and lied down on the other side using his feet to slip off his shoes. “It’s been three months now, I think. Have you always been like this?” He asked her. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

"I don't know I think it might be nice to not have to sleep at all and still be able to function all the way you know? If I don't sleep my senses feel so dull and it puts me in a really vulnerable position and I don't like that." She figured it out the hard way and she'd never let it happen again, it wasn't worth fighting sleep to risk being attacked when she was in a weakened state. "I have yeah. My mother.. she was a vampire and my father was a human. From everything she told me before she was killed it was rare for this to even be possible, that's why her and my father weren't more careful... How did you end up like this? It hasn't been that long only three months. Were you attacked?" @AllJack

“I think we’d miss sleep if we really couldn’t sleep. There would be no way to break up the day. To relax and escape even if it’s for a couple hours.” He pointed out to her as he lied down next to her. If he couldn’t sleep, then part of him felt like he would go insane. Sleep was now his only way of seeing his family now. A fact that he both hated and loved. Seeing his family in his dreams was this great relief, but the realisation that it was all fake when he woke up was crushing. Her question brought him away from his thoughts, which he couldn’t deny he was grateful for his head turning to face her as he hummed. “I didn’t know that it was possible either.” He told her able to guess what she meant by wasn’t careful. “I liked to go camping once a month.” It was his form of escapism he would switch off his phone save for emergencies. His wife went with him a couple times, but she always hated it, so she stopped going. He planned on taking his son when he was older and now, he couldn’t. “I didn’t believe in werewolves back then, so I didn’t care that my trip was on a full moon. I'm sure you can guess what happened.” @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

"Yeah I suppose that's true.. but it just reminds me that I'm still vulnerable." She agreed that it was nice to be able to relax and not think for awhile when she was asleep but even her dreams plagued her with terror most nights. All the faces of the people she'd hurt flashing through her unconscious mind on repeat. She listened to him telling her about how he liked to go camping every month and when he said that she could probably guess what happened her heart sunk. "Were.. I mean were you alone?" She'd had a feeling that something must have happened to make him so angry but he seemed to hate vampires more than werewolves and that made he curious. "You don't have to tell me if it's too touchy of a subject I just.. well I guess it would be nice to know who I'm traveling with." @AllJack

He nodded back at her when she agreed with him not sure what else to say before he tensed as he heard her question. It was clear that she was aware that something was up. That something else had happened. “I was alone. I tended to go camping by myself as a form of escapism, but the next month vampires broke into my home.” He stopped talking at that point not really wanting to explain any further. Surely, she could work out what he was getting at without any help. “That’s why I hunt vampires now.” He murmured to her fighting the urge to pull away from her as he moved on the bed carefully getting comfortable his shoulder brushing against hers. “Normally I just pick a direction and start driving so is there anywhere in specific that you want to go?” He asked her as he turned his head to face her. @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸

She heard his words and knew immediately what he meant. She wanted to ask so many more questioned but she could tell by how tense he had gotten that it was still a really sensitive subject, although, something like that probably always will be. "I'm so sorry for your loss.. and for asking. I didn't know." She assumed something must have happened but to lose his entire family wasn't what she had expected. "I don't have anywhere in mind no.. I've always wanted to see the ocean though." She tensed when his shoulder brushed against hers but didn't move away, she was afraid she would seem rude and upset him and that was the last thing she wanted to do to the experienced vampire hunter. @AllJack

He sighed as he heard her words, it was clear that she did understand what he meant. For a moment he wasn’t sure what to say to her before he simply shook his head. “It’s okay, it isn’t your fault you had no way of knowing.” He told her his voice softer than what it was like before. He listened to her speak humming softly. “We can head towards the coast then, there won’t be a lot of vampires there I don’t think, I’ve noticed that a lot of vampires prefer to live closer to the city, more people I’m guessing but there’s no harm in relaxing. Especially since you don’t seem bothered by the sun. As he felt her tense from the contact, he made himself relax the thick muscles of his shoulders loosening to try and help her relax. “I’m not going to hurt you; I promise you that and you can leave this room whenever you want if you’d like.” @𝓒𝓻𝔂𝓫𝓪𝓫𝔂 𝓚𝓲𝓽 🌸
