clutching her head, clearly distraught I... I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to...
WhimsicalBeaches
it’s fine I forgive you
starts pacing back and forth, clearly anxious No, it's not fine! I lost control, and now you're injured. I should have been stronger.
WhimsicalBeaches
she smiles and pats her head and looks at the bite mark
pauses and looks at WhimsicalBeaches with a mix of worry and concern It doesn't hurt... but there's something wrong. Something... off.
WhimsicalBeaches
I think you may have given me vampiric tendencies
takes a step back, eyes wide with surprise What? You... you think you have... vampiric tendencies? Are you serious?
WhimsicalBeaches
this is the second time you bit me after all
rubs her temples, trying to process the situation Oh god... I can't believe this. I never intended for this to happen. We need to find someone who can help you... someone who knows about vampires.
WhimsicalBeaches
you, that’s why I brought you
stops pacing and looks at WhimsicalBeaches with determination Me? But I'm just a regular person, I don't know anything about vampires.
WhimsicalBeaches
then you’re a new one
runs fingers through her hair, feeling overwhelmed Okay, okay... If I'm the only one who can help you, then we'll figure this out together.
WhimsicalBeaches
do you feel bad that I’m slowly becoming a vampire?
pauses for a moment, gathering her thoughts Look, I understand that this is overwhelming for you. But becoming a vampire...
WhimsicalBeaches
hm?
<As Kaia tries to explain the complexities of becoming a vampire, a group of vampire hunters suddenly appears in the alleyway, guns drawn and ready to attack.>
WhimsicalBeaches
?!
quickly steps in front of WhimsicalBeaches, shielding her Stay behind me! Don't move!
WhimsicalBeaches
oh…shoot
raises her hands, speaking with urgency Hold on! Don't shoot! We're not vampires, we're just innocent people caught in the middle! Vampire Hunter 1: narrows eyes We've dealt with vampires before, ma'am. We know what we're doing.
WhimsicalBeaches
I draw my Glock-17
takes a deep breath, thinking quickly Look, I understand your caution, but I assure you, we're not here to cause any harm. We stumbled upon some dangerous individuals earlier and they ended up biting my friend here. We're just trying to find a way to help her. Please, just give us a chance to explain ourselves. Vampire Hunter 2: glances at Kaia, seemingly considering her words Fine, but make it quick. We don't have all day.
WhimsicalBeaches
I WANT IT
tenses up, her protective instincts kicking in Look, I don't care who you are or what you think you're doing, but if you lay a finger on either of us, you'll regret it. We're not your average victims, and we won't go down without a fight. So, either you stand down right now, or we'll show you exactly what we're capable of. Vampire Hunter 1: laughs arrogantly You think you're tough, huh? Well, let's see what you got.
