Rex stepped from the house, noticing displeasure on her face but kept moving nontheless. His short hair waved in the air slightly as the distance between them decreased and his eyes once again regained their silvery sheen, shifting away from their dull grey look. He stopped just a few feet away from her and smiled slightly at her then noticed a slight pain on the side of his lower lip. A hand went up and his finger moved over the hurting area gently then rose to eye level to reveal a little blood.
Using his tongue, he checked what could have dont this only to remember that his fangs had not vanished, but instead had merely gotten smaller. Shrugging it off as clumsiness, his attention returned to Nikkita's approaching form and he smiled as best he could to welcome her back.
"Do you feel better now?" he asked innocently.

She wiped the few scraped on her face and hands, then grabbed him by the collar and lifted him off the ground.
"What did you do to me?" her eyes burned with anger and sadness.
"I tried hunting, but i couldn't because i was in pain after i drank some guys blood. Thats never happened before!"
Her face softened and she gently set him down. Her eyes returning to their soft gray. She knew she was wrong. He had kept her on this earth, and she should be thanking him, rather than accusing him.
"I'm sorry..." she slipped her arms under his and hugged him gently not wanting to let go.
"I you didn't deserve that..." she whispered into his chest. the scratches on her face healing slowly.

Rex coughed heavily before he was let down. Though she hugged him, he could tell that this old blood of his wasnt going to remain dormant in her as it did him. His arms hesitantly folded around her body in a shaky embrace while his mind struggled to find a way to explain what he had done to her.
"I'm sorry Nikkita...." He said softly. "I dont know of a way to reverse it."
A hand rose from her back and gently ran down her hair repeatedly as he tried to comfort her in this terrifying time.

"tell me... you're not just an ordinary human are you?" she asked softly.
She looked up at him her eyes shining.
"There's something within your blood isn't there.... Which now pulses through my veins as well."
Her mind slowly put the fragmented pieces together in her mind. He wasn't just some human, it wasn't possible. Thats when she remember the wings that had appear on his back. Her eyes widened.
"...wings..?" she gasped. as she pictured them again

"A demon.." He began. "Have you ever seen one? I have. So far, every one of them that I've seen have been tall, ugly, horned, terrifying beasts. Truly a vicious creature to behold. But according to the legends...not one started out like that."
His head leaned back and his silvery eyes gazed upwards at the sky as a single tear rolled down his cheek and fell on her forehead.
"I'm as human as anyone can get...most of the time. The other times I'm like my half breed mother...half human, and half demon."
His head lowered to return her silvery stare as a moment of silence passed between them. Hesitantly, he spoke again.
"She was a half demon but not anything like the ones I've seen. Her lineage hadnt become fully corrupted as yet so she retained her human-like appearence and her angelic wings. I, however, only inherited her wings and her healing ability. For some reason, my blood is mostly dormant and additionally suppressed by my pinwheels. I dont know how or what it will do to you...I'm sorry..."

She voice caught in the back of her throat. She had come across only one other demon in her lifetime, and it was because of her father. He had been at war with the rouge demon. He out powered the demon and the demon had fled. But here, she had a half-breed standing in front of her. She touched the tear that had hit her forehead. The small drop of water clung to her finger and she looked at it. She didn't think demons cried, neither did she believe they could love. But she had been proven wrong.
"So you're half demon... and... demonic blood now flows in me..."
She ran her tongue over her fangs. They were still there, but they pulsed at her touch and a twinge of pain returned.
"If i don't feed, i'll die.... but i can't feed if this pain keeps returning."
She looked off into the distance. Her eyes teared up a bit. Her fate was inevideble. Though she had tried her hardest to stay alive, it seemed she was now not going to be able to.
"You should have let me die." her voice cracked and tears ran the length of her face. "Why save a monster like me...?"
She looked at him her eyes marvel and feared what she now knew him to be.

"I'm not proud of what I am, or what I did to you. I truly am sorry about this."
His arms released her and he took a step away then reached down for his razor weapons and held them out to her.
"Here, you take them."
His most prized possessions, gifts from his deceased mother. He never once allowed them to leave his side but now he was willing to part with them for good.
"These two have suppressed the monster in me for a long time. I now offer them to you in the hopes that they will do the same."

She looked at the beautifully crafted weapons. Her eyes scanning each edge. Then a small smile played on her face. She gently took his hand and pushed it back. She blinked and two small tears ran down her face, but she kept her smile.
"I've lived quite a few decades. I know what its like to be lonely... and i know what its like to be loved..." She looked up at him her lower lip trembling slightly.
" Everything that has happened, has happened for a reason, fate brought us together, and fate may tear us a part, i don't know what tomorrow holds but I will help you destroy my sire. And then.... i can rest peacefully."
She started back toward the house, then stopped and turned to him.
"Besides, i can't take you're mother away from you." she looked at his pinwheels again.
"Her spirit still lingers around them. I can feel it."
Her body writhed for a second and she nearly doubled over from the pain.
"We haven't got much time, a few days or so..."
Her eyes started to dull slightly the silver glow disappearing.
"First we have to get Demetrius back to his pack."
She continued walking. A breeze caught her hair and blew it wildly behind her. Whatever was to happen, she welcomed it with open arms and a trusting heart.

He nodded, withdrawing his pinwheels and replacing them on his legs. A single tear rolled down his cheek when he thought of her dilema and he tightened his fist in frustration. This girl...one he had just started to care for...was about to be taken from him. And to make matters worse, it was his fault; all his fault. If he hadn't given her his blood to try and save her, she would have died peacefully rather than a slow and painful death.
A hand rose and wiped the tear from his face and he slowly followed behind her as he had done since the first day they met. Ever since that time in the alley, he always felt that his place was at her back. This was the only place he found comfort and solice, behind her...watching and waiting for her to turn around and notice him. Never before had he felt such an attachment for anyone, let alone a vampire. His patience, finally rewarded when she did as he had hoped for so long and now this precious person was to be taken away by the same winds of fate that had brought them together...the thought sickened him.
"I'll find a way to fix this.." He whispered to himself as he walked behind her. "It can't end like this."
His pace quickened and before he knew it he had overtaken her and stopped at the door, looking at the wolf-like being still curled up on the sofa then turned around and looked back to her.
"You better wake him. Like you said, we dont have much time."

She nodded gently her eyes a soft pale gray. She softly walked toward the creature and knelt down in front of him. She stroked his head lightly, his large eyes opened and glistened at her.
"Demetrius my love, its time to go, Rex and I are going to take you somewhere, where you'll be safe and happy." she softly cooed to the wolf
He yawned and stretched then jumped down off the sofa and followed behind her. She walked back toward Rex and looked up at him. His eyes were shadowed with trouble and dispair. She gently touched his face.
"Rest your mind, and don't worry about me."
She gently ran her fingers along the side of his face. She sighed softly.
"Don't trouble yourself so, i want to remember you happy, not sad and dismayed... not like this..."
She nodded to herself and walked out the door into the approaching night. She scanned the empty horizon again. Her eyes searching for something, but she didn't know what.

His hands went up to cup hers for just a moment before she walked off, his eyes following her into the darkness. Stepping from the front porch, he followed behind her and pondered what she had said. Her words caused a turmoil within him as he fought to show a more tolerable side so as not to worry this precious person but his feelings of despair refused to subside. Grasping his chest, he squeezed hard to quell the pain he felt deep within but this met with heavy resistance.
"His clan.." He began. "Do you really know where to find them?"

"mostly in the underground. They don't venture out too often... too afraid of our kind..."
She walked over to a sewer cover and lifted it to the side. She jumped down in the darkness and Demetrius followed after her. The pit was dark and smelled of sewage and death.
"Rex! Jump down i'm right here..." her voice came calmly through the darkness.
She looked around through the dark to a light down at the end of the long tunnel. A tear formed in her eyes, she knew what she was about to walk into... and she knew she wasn't welcome, but she had to save this creature.

Listening to her voice, he held his hands at his side and jumped down into the hole. He landed hard in the mucky water and lifted a hand to his nose then looked over at Nikkita.
"This place stinks. I dont see how they could stand it down here."
His eyes moved around the dark, damp tunnel until they came to rest on a light a little way off. Strangely, the sewers didnt seem as dark as it should but he just tossed that thought to the back of his head. Turning to the light, he placed his free hand on a pinwheel and started towards it.
"I've never dealt with Lycans before. I dont know what kind of welcome to expect here."

She touched his hand that held the pinwheel.
"You can't seem threatening, they'll only kill you. You have to be submissive. The Alpha male will sense you out faster than me, so you have to be extra careful"
She made her way down the tunnel. Holding on to Demetrius and Rex. She didn't want either of them to get away from her. Thats when Demetrius howled.
"Demetrius.... shh... we're trying not to get noticed."
She heard scratching of claws against the cement.
"Oh, this isn't good."
She knelt down and pulled Rex down with her.

His hand had already released the circular weapon when he heard Demetrius howl. He shot him an annoyed look and just as he was about to speak he felt Nikkita pull him down to his knees. His eyes shifted from Demetrius back to the way the group had been walking and he thre he saw it. Several shadows on the wall headed their way from the direction of the light.
At first, the shadows seemed small, getting larger as they approached but soon the shadows seemed to be growing to enormous proportions. Rounding the corner was a truly terrifying beast walking on two feet. It stood 9 feet tall and had to bend over to fit in the narrow passageway whilw three somewhat smaller Lycans followed close behind. Each one approximately 8 feet in height, yet all at least twice the size of Demetrius in body.
Rex's eyes rose to meet the gaze of the largest in the pack and his silvery eyes glistened slightly in the dim light of the sewers. A loud roar rocked the foundations of the underground structure and Rex searched in his mind for any reason why such a fearsome monster would fear anything at all let alone vampires. Remembering Nikkita's words, he quickly lowered his gaze and shifted his eyes to her.
"What now?" He whispered, hoping to get a favorable answer.
