Sitting at the bed of the hotel, Hilde sat in pain, waiting for Duo to get back. He had gone to the Ice machine to get an ice pack for her ankle. He sure was nice. He didn't look it, and to tell the truth, he scared her when they first met. She had been walking down the street trying to find a restaurant that was open and looked like she would be able to sneak out of without paying, when the two men had come up behind her and dragged her into the alley. Neither her or the two men had noticed him, or even heard him walk up. All she saw of him was a flash of black, the blur of one man being thrown, then the black flash had grabbed the other man and hit him somehow, she hadn't figured out how, all she figured out what was going on. It was probably because she was so hungry. She was loosing her focus because she hadn't eaten in 3 days.
She jumped as something cold touched her ankle. She looked down to see Duo placing the ice pack one her ankle tenderly. She hadn't even heard him come in. He was so quiet she almost forgot that he was there when they were going to the hotel. Almost like he wasn't walking on the ground or that he was something not him. She smiled at the stupid idea.
Duo looked up at her, his demons no longer yelling at him, but quiet. His stomach was full, so he had no intention of eating her. He smiled inwardly at his good job of slinking up behind the clerk, grabbing him, and throwing him into the next room, all without him or anyone else noticing. Not that there was anyone around at three in the morning. He had ran in, bitten the man, filled his stomach and killed the man, all in less than one minute. He then went and got the ice for Hilde. He had come back, and she looked like she deep in thought, so he just went to work and started fixing her ankle. He couldn't do anything in the state it was in, but if the swelling went down, he could probably pop it back into place or bring her to a doctor in the morning. Right now, he wanted to make her comfortable. He had to go get her something to eat, she looked like she was about to collapse.
"I'll go get you something to eat, since you cant walk, and its late, so there wouldn't be any restaurant open anyway. Just hang around here and stay off the foot, ok?" He said, looking her in the eyes, his look practically demanding that she not go anywhere. She nodded and he walked out the door.
'Heh, I'll get you some food, and then I'll get some desert off of the clerk.' He thought to himself, walking into a 24 hour grocery, and picking up no-cleanup, no prepare meals. When he got a armful, he walked casually up to the front of the store, glancing around like he was looking for an item, then, seeing what he wanted, walked over to the newspapers inconspicuously, picked up one pretending to be reading the front page, and broke the security camera wire so no one would see his little 'stunt'. He then walked over to the counter and set his items down. The cashier was a skinny little kid with freckles, who didn't look like he was in a good mood. Didn't matter, as long as the kid had blood. Duo accidentally dropped one of the items on the boy's hand, and the boy snapped at him, "Hey, that's my hand you piece of shit, watch where you put stuff, or you might get in trouble some day." Duo looked up at him. Was the boy challenging him? All well, playing with your food occasionally wasn't so bad.
Duo walked into the hotel, and looked in the mirror. Wiping away a stray fleck of the boy's blood from his lips, he walked into the room, where Hilde sat, watching TV. He threw the bag of food on the bed and casually started pulling out two drinks, two pieces of pie, and four sandwiches. He threw half of the items to Hilde, who started eating faster than he had ever seen anyone eat. He didn't think it was possible to eat a drink, a slice of pie, and 2 sandwiches in less than 2 minutes, but she did. He sat in awe as she ate. He slowly ate his food, trying to give her his food, but she only took the pie and one sandwich. He tried to eat, but human food tasted terrible when he was a vampire. He came up with the excuse that he had just eaten and that he was allergic to Mayo, so he didn't have to eat.
They sat watching TV. in silence for about an hour, when Duo broke the silence. "Can I ask you why you ran away from home?" He asked looking at her seriously. She fidgeted nervously, then answered, in a quiet voice that he could her a twinge of fear and anger in, "I'd rather not talk about it, but I didn't run away because of some stupid reason like my parents grounded me or I didn't have any friends. I had a good reason. Why were you out at three in the morning anyway?"
He sat in silence for a minute, then answered, "Same here. I ran away too, and I had a good reason as well, but I don't want to tell you why." It was the truth, he wasn't lying. He had run away from his home when he was bitten, but he lived with his friends and not his parents. His parents and his friends parents had died when they were young , and they had pooled there money to buy an apartment so they had somewhere to live.
As for Hilde, he had no Idea why anyone would run away from home, but she sounded like it was something bad that had happened. His mind wandered back to the past, back to when he had gotten bitten.
~Flashback~
Duo was at a party, when his girlfriend had shown up. She ran up to him and demanded who she was. He had no clue who 'she' was, but his girlfriend looked mad. When he tried to explain that he didn't have a clue what she was saying, she had slapped him and screamed to get out of her party before she called the cops. He walked out, confused as hell, when she outside and yelled at him that they were over. She dumped him, he didn't know why, and he STILL didn't know who 'She' was. He walked down the street, when he suddenly found himself lying on the ground in a alley. He felt something fall down his face, and his eyes widened when he realized it was blood. His Blood. What happened after that was a blur. A pain in his neck, a voice asking him if he wanted to live or die, then darkness. He had awoken as a vampire.
~End Flashback~
He looked down to find Hilde Asleep. He smiled as he gently moved her to the bed and tucked her in, placing the icepack back on her ankle. He then slipped into his own bed, not bothering to change, and fell into a deep sleep.

Thanks everyone who reviewed!!! I will keep going on this story, but don't expect me to update it every day. Probably every week or three or five days I will. I dunno. I will try to get chapter 3 up by Monday or earlier.
