The lack of heart beat sent his mind spiraling, he really was dead. He just wanted to not believe it before, but now there was the proof that he really WAS dead. And seeing her teeth freaked him out badly. Even though he couldn't escape, he tried. Nikolas pulled at his hand, stepping back as far as he could, and sturggling, trying to get loose. He didn't want to be here, he didn't want this to be real. He would hate himeself later for it, but fear and worry were obvious across his face. He just wanted to leave, Nikolas didn't want to have to face this.

*Tessa quickly retracted her fangs, immediately regretting losing her patience with him. She had been right... He wasn't ready yet. She kept her tight grip on him, drawing him to her.* "I'm sorry... I told you that you weren't ready for it yet. It will be ok, I swear it. You just need to calm down... You can't be afraid of me, Nikolas. If you don't let me help you through this now, you'll regret it for the rest of your days... which will be quite longer than you expected..."

He froze as he was pulled closer to her, wanting nothing more than to get away right then. This wasn't right. He wasn't supposed to be dead! He was only 23! He gave another jerk trying to get away from her.

*Tessa was getting frustrated with herself... She hadn't felt so many emotions for decades and now they were all hitting her in one night.* "Nikolas, please, stop struggling. I don't want to hurt you." *Despite the fact that she knew he wanted to be miles away from her at the moment, she had to try something to subdue him. She pulled him to her, wrapping her arms around him instead of just holding his hand.* "Please... You have to calm down and trust me... It's not as bad as you think..."

"You're dead... So what...? I am too... I've been dead for over one hundred years... and look at me. Here I am... Besides the lack of vital signs, you'd never know that I died. You didn't know when you came here tonight... and you'd probably have never noticed. Even though I'm dead, I can look and feel just as alive as any human on the face of this earth... You can too... only with so much more now. The things you can see now... The things you can hear and feel... A few things have changed, but you're still you..."

"yeah, it's nice being me when I don't even know WHAT I am!" he kept struggling.

*Tessa closed her eyes with a sigh, not having to put any real effort into holding him.* "If you stop struggling, I'll tell you... I can't give you any answers if you run off on me..."

"..." he continued struggling for a bit, but to no avail. "Fine!" and he just stopped, standing still in the spot he was in.

*Relieved, Tessa wearily and briefly rested her head on Nikolas' chest.* "If I let go of you, you have to promise that you won't run... Letting you out of here would get us both into more trouble than you can imagine..."

*Slowly and cautiously, Tessa let go of him, lifting her head and taking a step back to look at him.* "Will you listen to me now or do you need another fit of hysteria to prove to you that you need to calm down for a while?"

"sure, I'll listen. Why not." was all he said.

"Thank you..." *Now emotionally and mentally worn out, Tessa ran a hand through her hair and looked around them at the mess.* "I need to get this bathroom cleaned up before anything stains... and you need a shower. Now please... I'll give you a moment's privacy so you can get undressed and then while you're bathing I'll clean up..." *She turned to pick up his jacket again, meeting his eyes for a brief moment before she walked around him to the doorway. She stepped out of her shoes at the edge of the carpet, not wanting to track blood into the study.* "Oh and Nikolas..." *She turned to look at him.* "Don't try to drown yourself in there... I know from experience that it doesn't work..." *With that, she closed the door so that he could have a moment to himself.*

Nikolas stood there for a little bit looking at all the blood. He made this mess... atleast he could say he didn't kill the man. "wonder who he was..." he whispered quietly. After a bit of just standing there, Nikolas got ready for a shower. He quickly got undressed and just left his clothes in a neat little pile on the floor, they were already covered in blood. Then he got in the shower and turned on the shower, soaking himself in a haze of warm water. he leaned against the wall of the shower as the water lightly hit him. *what's going on...*
