A nudge , a kiss , she is pulling her closer stroking her face gently . Vayne doesn't know what Quinn is seeing in her . She is a monster , a rabid beast , an abomination that should be put down immediately . She keeps her eyes closed . Her fangs poking out of her mouth and her spasms every time she caughts a whiff of the scout's scent betrays her . That only seems to make Quinn's touch more affectionate . It is like she is tending to a scared animal and in a way she does .

" How are you feeling ? "

She sounds concerned . Vayne opens her eyes , crimson slits staring into amber marbles . She doesn't reply , her head is spinning . She is too weak , She can barely move . Quinn brings her wrist to the vampire's lips . Her arms are scared and bandaged . Her skin is soft and warm , inviting Vayne to taste its hidden treasure .

" Drink "

She is smiling , Vayne's eyes widen , she doesn't want to hurt her again , but she isn't going to admit it . She turns away .

" Its ok , I know you are hungry . "

That's an understatement , she is about to pass out at any given moment , her body is only functioning because of the scout's warmth . She can feel her senses slipping away , dragging her in the darkness . Her eyes are closing , she isn't sure if she will wake up again .

Quinn is on top of her in an instant , her hands cupping the vampires face . The handcuffs prevent Vayne from resisting . Quinn smiles . She bites her lip hard enough to draw blood and crushes it against the hunter's . Vayne tries to pull away , the scout's blood slipping into her mouth , sweet fruity drops promising ecstasy . The scout keeps her in place . Her stomach roars , her mind blurs , Quinn's taste overwhelms her . She drinks from the scout in small sips savoring the taste . Time seems to slow down for a moment . Quinn is caressing her , calming her down , the beast inside her retreats in the shadows .

Vayne stops , she is exhausted , the pain has faded . She is still trembling under Quinn gripping the handcuffs . Quinn kisses her one last time and attempts to pull away . She fails , Vayne leans forward to kiss her , there is a deep sound coming from the vampire's stomach . She is purring like a cat , her face is flushed . Her eyes are half open , she looks drunk .

" Hold me "

Her breathing is ragged , her voice faint , she is pressing her body against the scout's . Her eyes are clouded and murky almost a deep brown . Almost human , definitely not a monster's .

" Please "

Quinn nods , she wraps her arms around the shaken vampire . She seems fragile as if she is made of glass and she is going to shatter at any moment . She notes how she is trying to approach her , Vayne moans on her shoulder .

" Tighter "

Quinn complies , Vayne is shaking violently , she is trying to rub herself against her . She moans again , her lips searching for the scout's . Her eyes are closed , sweat is coating her skin . She is panting , Vayne rests her head on the scout's shoulder . She waits for a few minutes until her heartbeat returns to normal .

" I know I don't deserve this . I am sorry "

She tries to savor the moment , burn it on her mind . Her ragged breathing , Quinn's gentle touch , the scout's soft body laying beside her . The coppery taste on her mouth . The way Quinn's warmth sips into her body . She shallows .

" You weren't yourself . "

Her voice is barely a whisper , Vayne can feel Quinn's inner turmoil behind her gentle words . She is lying , trying to convince herself , give herself a reason to overlook her crimes . Vayne takes a deep breath , she can almost feel Quinn's arms unwrapping , her hands shaping into fist .

" You are wrong . "

The caressing stops , Quinn freezes , her fingertips still on Vayne's spine . She lowers her gaze to face her .

" What do you mean ? "

Vayne has to stop herself from averting her eyes , she is perfectly still , her crimson irises locked on the scout's amber ones . She deserves to know .

" I didn't kill your brother in the forest in a violent fit of madness . I killed him the following day in the graveyard having full control of my actions . "

Quinn is silent for a while , her gaze lost and glazed . The seconds drag to minutes , Vayne is getting worried . The scout unlocks her handcuffs and gets up without a word .

" My bite turned him . He had crawled out of his coffin and was about to return home , following his own scent and then he would murder you . Bucher your parents and feast in their blood . I stopped him , I gave him some of my blood to make his sanity return and then I explained to him , what he had become and how he was forced to live his life fighting his own thirst for blood , slowly descending to madness . He cried that night , he sobbed in my arms for hours but not once did he blame me . Because he knew . He was hearing it too now . The voice in the back of his head whispering , urging him to dine on his own loved ones and bath in their blood . He didn't want to do it ... He asked me ... He begged me to end his life . And so I did ... I sang to him a lullaby and then snapped his neck in his sleep and buried him back in his grave so you could visit him again . "

" I almost forgave you "

Her voice is sad and broken , her body is shaking .

" For a moment I thought that you were . . . We could be .. "

The words fade , she turns to look at her , her usually gentle gaze , now cold and vengeful .

" why did you tell me ? you could have kept mocking me behind my back and I never would have guessed it. "

" No ! I never deceived you , I love you ! "

Quinn laughs at her , wiping an invisible tear from her eye . Her heart sinks in her chest like a boulder in the depths of despair ,her fingers brass against Quinn's arm only to be slapped away .

" love ? "

She leans forward , her face only inches away from the vampire's .

" what does a monster know about love ? "

She expected this but still , she never thought it would hurt so much . She hangs her head , her black bangs effectively hiding her tears . She is alone again , only this time her heart belongs to another .

" So kill me . "

She faces the scout her eyes and cheeks shining from shed tears

" if I am a monster incapable of feeling anything , why did you save me in the first place ? "

She grabs Quinn's crossbow from the night stand and presses the bolt's tip on her throat , she then grips the scout's hand and places it on the trigger .

" There you are , here is your chance to slay this mindless beast you chained to yourself . "

Quinn grits her teeth

"You think I am bluffing ? you think I will let you walk away after killing my brother , not once but twice !? "

" No "

Vayne shakes her head , more tears rolling down her cheeks , her eyes are the epitome of loneliness and sadness , but she looks determined .

" There is no future for me , even if you let me go what I am supposed to do ? Attack you from the shadows to steal a few drops of blood ? wait to die from starvation ? I don't want to hurt you again and I already tried the second option . I am already dead , now or in a week it makes no difference , but "

She slowly presses Quinn's finger to the trigger , the string in the back of the crossbow starts stretching , building strength to launch the projectile . Quinn tries to pull her hand away but Vayne easily keeps it in place .

" If dying by your hand will make you happy , if a wretched creature like me can help you get revenge and let your brother rest in peace . If seeing me bleeding on your feet will help your heart heal . "

The string screeches , the bolt locks in position .

" Shouldn't I just shut up and start bleeding ? "

One second , she tries to release her hand .

" Take care "

" Click "

Writer's note : I watched some dramas and it seems it has affected me . One of my ideas was for them to be together and happy for a while and then Evelyn that watched invisible Vayne's judgement , comes out and reveals the secret out of malice ,but I am not patient enough to use that and I have no idea where the story is going so I used the " she deserves to know " card because Vayne feels guilty and loves Quinn . The other idea was for Vayne to serve Quinn in order to redeem herself and Quinn abuses her and the guards and servants beat her up , but Quinn doesn't care , so Vayne rips out her fangs and gives them to her and continues serving Quinn but a vampires fangs are connected to their hearts so her lifespan shrinks and then :

a) Vayne dies a horrible death slowly weakening until Quinn does something kind and catches her out of reflex or calls her name with she hasn't used for years and Vayne cries from happiness even if Quinn didn't mean to help her and dies . Or b)

Quinn realises her mistake and cries out to her and Vayne smiles and says that her fangs were always Quinn's because they are connected to her heart and her heart belongs to Quinn or something equally sappy . You can insert a scene where Quinn goes mad from grief and roams the street wearing Vayne's fangs if you think it is not tragic enough make a city guard mistake her for a real vampire and shoot her .

The point is that I will not use these plots but plot a) almost came to life . It was a really close call , I had to attend a boring 4 hours long lesson about how to write an essay until my mind started to clear and I was like : wait why am I writing a tragedy ? So stay away from dramas , they poison your mind and every scene becomes a time shift to a tragic future and dry last words . If those plots inspired you to write a fanfiction feel free to use them in any way you like , I would like to see my weird thoughts turn into heart wrenching stories and I will probably learn a lot about how a story is being written along the way .
