Daylight Savior (Bratty and Mizz)

Aiden was feeling a bit drained now. Having not slept at all last night and now being slightly more drained of blood. He held a hand over the wound and it stopped bleeding quickly. However blood stained his neck, she had hastily withdrawn her fangs it made it a bit messy. "Couldn't sleep..." he said breathing a bit, slumping onto the floor. It was obvious he was going to possibly faint.

"I dramed...you running away," he said to her. "So I looked for you.....didn't sleep till I found you...well...until I found you I wasn't going to," he said his voice steadying a little bit. "Why did you run away again?' he asked her. "I'm sorry if I upset you, I just....was worried," he explained as best he could but he was tired and exhausted.
 
Selene's anger quickly faded, noticing how ill he looked. She could never stay angry at him for long anyways. While he spoke, she worked to get him up off the floor to lead him to the makeshift bed. She was feeling really bad for attacking him like a savage beast. She grabbed a piece of cloth and helped to clean up his neck, giving him an apologetic look.

Suddenly it dawned on her what he said. "You...had a dream that I ran away." This angered her. "You mean to tell me that you can even watch me in your sleep!?" Selene paced the room and kicked one of the rock walls. "Geez! I know I'm doomed to be alone for all eternity, but yet I STILL have no privacy!! You shouldn't have wasted the time to search for me. That was your shot at a normal life...no GO! TAKE IT!" She slumped into the corner and began to cry.
 
Aiden still did not quiet understand what she meant nor why she was upset, aside from being able to apparently keep an eye on her even while he slept. He was still a bit weak, but feeling better. Glad he healed faster then moist he got up and though hand was still a bit bloodied from holding his neck he made his way to her.

"Course I can...." he said to her. " I'd be a shit protector if I could not keep watch on you even while I wasn't awake," he explained. It must have been something he himself could do though because he knew not a lot could do it. "I can see why your upset I guess," he said apologetically. "I told you though...I don't want a normal life," he told her. "I am wierd like that," he said with a very small smile. " Besides....I...don't want anyone else Selene....why else do you think I dream of you?"
 
Selene looked up at him, still rather pissed about the fact that he could watch her anytime time of day. She brushed away hair that had fallen in her face, a let out a menacing growl as she glared at him. "You're an idiot, you know that Aiden? What human wouldn't want a normal life! There's times when I'd give up everything to be normal!!" Being human seemed like a rather large inconvenience, but if it meant she had a shot at finding love, she'd take it in a heartbeat. Vampires had a harder time finding love. It's not that their unbeating hearts aren't capable, but its a rare occurence when they do run into another vampire that's not within their coven. The last little bit of what he said caught her attention. "What do you mean you don't want anyone else?" She cocked an eyebrow and looked at him, a bit suspicious of where he may be going with this.
 
Aiden was deeply embaressed by this but he gave a reply. "If....I was a normal....id probably date a human girl....but well.....they would be...boring," he replied for lack of a better word he chose that. "I don't want to be with a normal girl.....I mean it's forbidden, but if I'm with you at least then....im happy," he replied. He knew it sounded corny and sappy. He liked her though, more so then simply a bodyguard. "I don't just mean as a protector either.....it's my duty to be, but.....even if it wasn't I want to be with you."
 
Selene wasn't used to seeing Aiden this way. She didn't understand it, and shook her head. She was familiar with human emotions, but didn't often express them. His words were warm and comforting to her, but she didn't understand why. It was so new. "I....don't understand" she whispered. Logically, there were so many ways he could have ment his words to go. She shook her head again. "Why do human emotions have to be so complex!" she uddered in deep frustration. Her heart felt warm, and happy. She was looking at Aiden with newfound eyes. It was as if he wasn't standing there as her protector, but something else. He seemed different. "UGH! I'm so confused!"
 
Aiden could understand her confusion. He was confused himself, but he also knew it was something he wanted. "I'm not trying to b complex....I've felt this for a bit now, I just know im not supposed to...but I don't care," he replied happily. "I have deep feelings for you Selene.....im not going to step around it," he said to her with a tender firmness. He went down to her level looking at her. "Sorry..." he said quickly before he sudddenly moved closer, his bloodied hand held her cheek, his other the small of her back and he kissed her gently and tenderly.
 
Electricity shot through her body as his lips met with hers. Her body took over, wrapping her arms around him, pulling him in closer, and eagerly kissed him in return. His body was warm, and it was nice. This was something she had only dreamed about experiencing, and the way he held her made her feel safe. She became lost in his embrace.

It took her a few moments to realize what was going on. Selene's eyes flew open and she shoved him off. "What the hell was that?" She shouted. There was a new emotion running through her body, and didn't understand it. She looked at him, confusion in her eyes, she was rather breathless at the moment, and that was rare for a vampire. "Where the hell did that come from?" Then she remembered the rules. "What were you thinking! Do you know what could happen if we....." her thoughts trailed off to a place where they were both human...embracing each other the way humans did. Suddenly thats what she wanted, to be embraced by his arms again. She shook her head ".....if THEY found out?!" She wasn't sure of the consequences, but she imagined he did. Normally vampires didn't fall for their protectors, and it wasn't something that her family talked about.
 
Aiden felt like a surge of energy rush through him as he touched her lips. They where soft, and he felt he was once again back to normal. He let himself enjoy the breif moment of bliss, he wasn't even sure why he was doing this, perhaps the lose of blood and tired made him kind of lose his sense of well.....normality.

Aiden immedietly felt like his energy drained again once their lips parted. "Sorry..." was all he could say. He truely was not, if anything he would take any punishment to kiss her again. However he also knew it was sudden and abrupt. "If they found out," he replied gently "I would be punished....truthfully I don't know whgat just I know it's bad," he said. He had an idea what it was, something along the lines of exile or being made into a mindless bodyguard.
 
Selene was puzzled. She reached up and touched her lips, feeling how they were still warm from their kiss. She looked at him, and for the first time, noticed all his features. He seemed so...attractive. She couldn't help but stare at the sudden realization of who she's had at her side all this time. Her unbeating heart began to feel warm, and she smiled at him. She wanted to kiss him again.

As he was speaking, she moved closer to him and placed a finger upon his lip to keep him quiet. "Stop. Just don't talk." She leaned in slowly, closing her eyes, and placed her lips upon his. There was this energy again the moment they touched, and she sighed with delight. For the first time, she felt human. Instead of loathing the emotions, she relished in them. Her hand gingerly touched his cheek as they kissed. At the moment, she didn't care of the consequences. She just wanted him, and only him.
 
Aiden went silent upon her command. The feeling of the kiss seeminly giving him strength and energy. His eyes shut gently as he returned it. Once more his hands went around her holding her closer to him. He could feel his heart beat quickening, like a soft drum beat slowly growing louder and quicker. He kissed her a bit deeper, more intimately.

He could still smell the faint scent of blood in the kiss, he did not mind it though. No his hands simply held her, feeling the small of her back. He dreamed of things like this, feeling the curves of her body. The softness of her skin. He let his hands wander just a bit. He lost himself in the kiss. After a bit he realized he had held his breath, he regrettebly parted his lips from hers to take in a breath.
 
The moment she felt Aiden's lips part, she immediately broke the kiss and stepped back, her eyes just fixated on him. Her fingers traced the curves of her lips once more, and smiled. This was something sonew to her. She didn't know what to make of it. He was no longer just her protector, no, he was much more than that. Knowing there could be consequences to what just happened, she let out a dissapointed sigh. "I'm not sure we should let that happen again." Her smile faded rather quickly, a slight crease forming on her brow. She backed up and slumped into a corner where the shadows hid her from sight. "Please Aiden. You should leave. I can't have you get hurt, not because of me." She was truly worried for him now, scared that something would happen. "I'm begging you. Forget me, forget this. You deserve to live." Her head dropped to her hands and she began to cry, knowing he would be devistated to see him go, but at the same time the lines have been crossed. There was no telling what could happen now.
 
Aidens felt a small tinge of pain as she told him to go. However he could not. "I'm sorry...but I can't," he replied though he did not approach her. "I am...still your protector....and leaving you alone in a cave during the day is out of thequestion," he replied. He didn't move for a few moments. "I'll wait outside then," he said and went to the door to leave. He couldn't let her leave again, he was sure if she got hurt his punishment would be worse, and he couldn't face himself anymore. He closed the door and satalong the wall a few feet from it.
 
"Get a grip, Selene." she said to herself. She wiped away the tears and took a deep breath. She was filled with anger and pain all at the same time. To her, Aiden was stubborn and seemed to take his position too seriously. She was angry at herself for allowing these feelings to creep up on her heart. She was frustrated because there was no way they could be together. She was hurt, because he did leave. She didn't know where he was, if he was angry, upset. She had hoped he didn't leave.

Selene got up and grabbed her stuff. She was going to go find him, even if that meant going into the sunlight. She ran out of her secret little room, and tripped over something on the ground.
 
Aiden grunted in some pain. "Ow...jeez," he said thinking she had meant to kick him or something. "Are you alright?' he asked her realizing what had just happened. He offered to help her up. "Why are you in such a hurry? You didn't plan to go out into the sun did you?' he asked, his voice holding some shock and worry.
 
Normally vampires were much more graceful, but Selene had been in such a hurry that she wasn't paying attention. Luckily, she couldn't injured so easily. She heard Aiden's voice in the darkness, and realized exactly what it was that she tripped over. Allowing him to help her up off the dirty floor, she sighed. "I'm ok, thanks. I'm sorry. I didn't know you were there. Are you alright?" She brushed the cave dust off her pants and grew nervous at his question. She hesitated to answer. "I....wasn't in any hurry. And no..I wasn't going into the sunlight...I'm not stupid!" she wasn't a very good liar, but she would try. He was still her protector and she didn't want or need a lecture about how bad the sun is for her.
 
He felt a little bumped but nothing serious truthfully. Still just feeling a bit tired and such but nothing he was not used too. " I am fine thanks...." he said he wondered why it was she was in such a hurry. "I'm glad....I wouldn't want you to get burned," he said to her. "I can stay watch out here...I am not going to leave you," he said thinking she had been worried he had planned to.
 
Selene smiled, knowing he wouldn't be going anywhere. She had thought about staying in this cave, just the two of them, but decided it was best to head home once the sun was set. She said it like it was an order and returned to her little secret room, shutting the door behind her. Her favorite book was on the bed where she left it, and though she tried to indulge herself in the stories within, she couldn't keep her mind off what it would be like to be human. She wondered what it would be like to have the freedom to be with the one you cared about most. She was so lost and confuse. The boundaries had never been crossed before, and she was scared as to what could happen if anyone found out.

As the sunlight grew into darkness, she retreated from the cave with the few belongings she had brought with her. She had hoped Aiden was following. She wouldn't blame him if he wasn't though. She was feeling rather guilty for attacking him that morning. Normally she had really good control over her animalistic instincts, but this time she couldn't help herself. She vowed never to bite him again. It would be hard, but she had to ignore the urge. She had to protect him. Biting was dangerous, and for some vampires, very intimate. A very strong bond can form with their donors, and she didn't want to risk it. She couldn't risk it. She couldn't risk him. She was determined to fight any humanity in her now, except for the control she had so she didn't turn into a terrible monster.

Upon reaching the house, she didn't even bother to acknowledge Aiden, and she ran into the house. Her family was abuzz about something, but she didn't pay any attention. She ran straight to her room and shut the door. Her tv had still been on from the previous night, lights were still on. Nothing had changed. She stripped out of her clothes and into a new, clean outfit before stepping onto her balcony, where she sat for the rest of the night. The air was cool, the moonlight was bright, crickets could be heard chirping in the distance. It was there, on the balcony, that she ended up falling asleep. In her dreams, she felt like she was being watched. Her eyes would flash open once in a while and scan the horizon, unable to shake the feeling that someone, something, was staring right at her.
 
Aiden sat patiently as she left him to seemingly watch guard. He however was not to thrilled she seemed to ignore him all of a sudden. He was too tired to object or ask her why though instead allowing her to be cold towards him now. He felt an aching in his heart though as she did. He did not voice his feeling though and escorted her home when she had decided to leave the next night. He was very tired and hungry to boot, he wanted to go home and eat and try to sleep. He felt the very least she could say was she was sorry she kept him up, but no he got nothing when she left him to go inside.

In his state he did not sense or feel anything amiss, though he would have felt a killer intent had he been focused. He just walked home, the street lights helping him find his way home to his kitchen and warm bed. He would sleep until morning and even past that in his state. He didn't really feel like getting up for a long time now. He just wanted time to forget about him it seemed. But he would of course like a dutiful guard waken when he was supposed to.

"She's cute....to bad," a hushed voice spoke as she loked up from her slumber for the third time that evening. A figure would leave soon after from the bushes only yards from her house.
 
Selene's eyes flew open as hushed whispers and rustling leaves could be heard from down below. She stood to her feet and gazed into the darkness. A shadow could be seen retreating into the darkness. The wind kicked up and a familiar scent overtook the air around her. "Humans" she whispered to herself. She thought about hunting them down, but a chill that rippled down her spine told her otherwise. Instead she retreated into her room and locked the door behind her.

The next morning as she could hear sounds of her family stirring, she rushed to meet them in the living room and told them what had happened last night. They immediately became worried and banned her from leaving the house. Have the vampire slayers returned? Her father made a swift call to Aidan and explained that she would not be attending school until further notice. It was too dangerous. Without another word he hung up. By that point Selene was gone. She was going tto hunt the slayers down and protect her family, but she had no idea what she was up against.
 
Aiden answered the phone, he at first thought it was his family, but he was surprised when he heard her fathers voice. He had not heard the Counts voice in ages, hardly speaking to him in fact and with few words. "Yes sir...is something wrong?" he asked, however his question went unanswered as he realized he was talking to himself on the phone. He thought of what to do, it was daylight, so Selene would not be up, or at least he hoped so. He yawned but got up to get dressed and change. He looked side long at his dresser drawer, thinking perhaps he would need it now.

He shook his head and instead got dressed and ready. He would not use it, not now he was sure he wouldn't need it anyways, maybe she was just very upset. He had not been told to come, so he would wait in the park, if she wanted to see him she would he guessed.

"Run rabbit run...your only chasing the fox though," the slayer nickered. Young vampires were so easy,always head strong and naive. Thinking humans where weak. She would be heading into a trap.
 
Selene had retreated back to her room to gather some new supplies in her bag. She would wait until nightfall to hunt. She was growing thirsty again, but she'd have to resist it and focus on the job that lies ahead. She couldn't go too long without feeding, otherwise she could go weak, or worse.....bite a human. She had hoped that her protector didnt know what she was up to.

As the sun started to fall behind the trees, she snuck onto her balcony and jumped to the ground. Immediately the scent of humans could be picked up and traced. She wandered Into the woods and followed it, listening to every noise around her, scanning every inch ahead. Eventually she heard voices up ahead and she slowed down her pace, creeping up on a campsite in the woods. Three men sat around a campfire. She sat and watched quietly, remaining undetected.
 
The three seemed to be undisturbed by her presence if they even realized she was there. Of course to her they where obl;ivious to it all. She wsas wrong though, they had been there for hours, expecting her arrical at anytime, though mainly at night, and they only waited for her to slip up even for a moment.

Aiiden had waited all day and received nothing, no call or a feeling she was coming to him. It was night now, and he thought perhaps she once more tried to get away thinking to go to the woods, though he was not certian as he did not get a dream this time around. He would have liked to have slept, but he also had to do his job. Though he was feeling less, excited about it after the ight before. But he got up and walked to her home.
 
Selene's family was in a total state of panic and shock. Her father stood there, with a piece of paper in his hand, total anger and fear playing on his face. His daughter had been captured, and would die at noon tomorrow. Her fate was to die by the sun. Her mother sat on the steps of the house, tears filling her eyes. One of her sisters sat beside their mother, trying to console her. "Selene is a tough girl, stupid, but tough. She'll find a way out of there." She wrapped her arms around her mom and sat there in silence. Inside the house, there wasn't much noise. A few of her brothers were discussing about whether to go and look for her, and a few others were preparing the house in case the slayers came looking for them. One of her brothers took the letter from their father and read it out loud for the rest of the family to hear.

"We know who you are, and what you do. Your kind are disgusting, and an abomination on this planet. We will be coming after your whole coven, after we deal with your daughter, sister, whatever she is to you. She will burn in the sun at noon tomorrow. We dare you to come find us. That would make our jobs easier!"

Selene stood there, crouched in the bushes, for quite a while as she observed the three men. Suddenly, she heard a loud snap behind her, and felt a sharp pain in the back of her neck. She let out a loud hollar and lunged for whatever it was, but quickly blacked out. Apparently, it had been a tranquilizer designed to sedate a vampire. She fought the effects of the drug as long as she could, but total darkness consumed her. Her body was lifted by two of the men and thrown into the back of a vehicle. They were taking her to their base camp in the mountains, where she would be locked in a cage until the sun was up.
 
He arrived a few hours before morning would come. He knocked on her door and the moment it opened he suddenly felt very faint. He did not realize at that moment Selene had been knocked out cold by the dart, and despite their anger, her family let him in to recover for a few moments. "Where did she go?' he asked, he did not need to know the details, he already knew she had once more left again. They had no clue she had tried to do so the night before, and he let them in on a bit of the details, but not everything of course.

He was even allowed to go and see her room, perhaps there was more clues, but no nothing was amiss, nothing at all. "She left through the window again," he told himself, though it was locked, she must have learned how to do so from the outside. A clever trick.

"Someone tok her didn;t they?" he asked again, he seemed to be able to guess alot of these things, and now he wondered if perhaps she was already captive. "I'm going to need it," he told her father. Of course this thing he needed was very special, and he could not use it very much. It was at his home though, so one of her brothers went to fetch it, he was much faster being a vampire. "Your room is tidy for a human," he replied, Aiden was not sure how to respond but simply nodded and took the box that was handed to him. It was a black box, not very heigh but it was wide.

"I'll be back before morning," he said opening the box and placing around his neck an antique amulet. It had a strange gem, surrounded by silver. It was very big and gawdy for the time, but he felt the effects instantly and in almost the same speed as her kin he vanished out the window. He could smell her scent with this thing, and could even see better in the dark night. His senses and abilitie where enhanced to nearly a vampires level. He used this to track her and soon enough he was already seeing an old campfire that had been hastilty put out. He sniffed, smelling more then just her and he found the spend dart upon the ground.
