Sanquinex stirred before blearily blinking his eyes open, he couldn't believe he had fallen asleep! He, being a vampire, barely needed any sleep at all. He looked over to Cho's clock, it was two o clock in the afternoon, and Cho still hadn't woken up, instead she had shifted in her sleep and was now snuggling into Sanquinex's chest. He smiled gently and kissed the top of her head. 'Thank God I got to you in time. If anything had happened to you...' His thoughts trailed of and his eyes began to glow red again. No one would take his Cho away from him!
Cho began to slowly wake up, her mind was fuzzy at first, till she remembered what had happened till she was knocked unconscious. She started to thrash about wildly kicking and hitting, until she heard the soothing voice of Sanquinex. "Its okay honey, it's alright." She went limp against him, trying to figure out what had happened after she had gone unconscious. "Sanquinex. Did they-" She was cit off by his adoring reply. "No. I could never let anything or anyone harm you." Sanquinex brushed his hand along her cheek and Cho whimpered in pain. Sanquinex saw the huge bruise; if he ever saw those men again there would be hell to pay!
"Sanquinex." Cho started, Sanquinex looked straight into her eyes. "Your eyes are glowing, blood red." She finished, Sanquinex's eyes dulled and her chuckled lightly. "Sorry, that only happens when I am.....enraged." He explained. Cho's eyes watered. "You got enraged all over me?" Sanquinex raised his eyebrows and nodded. Cho then tackled him in a bear hug, Sanquinex was she in her were human he wouldn't be able to breath. Good thing he was a vampire.
After Cho had calmed herself a little, she was determined to get out of bed. Of course Sanquinex wanted her to stay and rest. Thos resulted in a massive tickle fight, and Sanquinex, seeing as he wasn't ticklish at all, much to Cho's disappointment, won. When Cho had stopped giggling, Sanquinex decided to ask a question.
"Why?" He asked softly, his eyes were shadowed and he looked down at Cho's hands and took them in his own. Cho looked at their hands then to him oddly and tilted her head. "Why what Sanquinex?" Sanquinex looked up and Cho was astonished to find tears in his eyes. "Why did you go out in the middle of the night? In your pajamas no less?" Cho's wide astonished eyes looked in the Sanquinex's worried eyes. "Well...." She started off, she wasn't exactly sure how she could word that she had a nightmare and wanted the comfort of Sanquinex's warm embrace to get her through the night, without sounding like a hopelessly lost little girl.
"Well what?" Sanquinex seemed desperate for an answer, her gripped Cho's hands tighter, not uncomfortably so, but enough to show that he was very worried about her.
Cho sighed. 'I might as well tell him, if I don't I'll just seem stupid for going out at that time of night without proper clothing on.' "I had a nightmare, where, people were chasing you, and I tried to go to you, but the crowd pushed me away." She felt tears welling up at the memory of the dream. "And just before you were engulfed by the crowd you mouthed I love you to me. I woke up after that, but I know what happened." Silent tears rolled own her face. "I just wanted to see you after that, I was so scared." Sanquinex's eyes softened and he pulled Cho into a gentle hug. Cho nuzzled her face into his shoulder and inhaled his unique sent, it reminded her of ashes, but it was also kind of spicy, like cinnamon.
'She gets so worried.' Sanquinex smiled into Cho's hair and kissed the top of her head. "You've had a bad night, get some rest." Cho looked like she was about to protest, but Sanquinex shushed her. "And don't even try saying you're not tired. You have bags under your eyes." Cho pouted but lay back down and was soon snoozing away, Sanquinex watched her peaceful form for a moment, before going downstairs. 'I'm sure Mrs. Cere can take care of Cho for the rest of the day, she is her mother after all. Speaking of Mrs. Cere, I think she has actually begun to trust me. I can' believe it took so long to earn her trust, if I hadn't heard Cho, Mrs. Cere would probably blame the while thing on me. Especially after she heard Cho's reason for going out.' Sanquinex's eyes softened. 'No one could separate you from me Cho, no one.' He thought determinedly as he walked back to his apartment.
Once he opened the door he was confronted with the sight of six pairs of eyes, staring straight at him in shock, it went on like that for a minuet or so, until.
"Sanquinex! Where the hell did you go?" Lupenex asked angrily, Kohana nodding furiously by his side.
"We looked all over for you. We even called Cho's house and no one picked up, and her mom gets these days off! Were you and Cho out somewhere? Couldn't you have left a note? Do you have no sense of morals, making us all worry like this?" Kohana's voice rose until she was nearly shrieking like a banshee. Everyone in the room, especially Lupenex with his sensitive ears, winced.
"I went out to feed." Sanquinex replied plainly, as if it were the simplest thing in the world.
"It does not take you that long, you weren't here when we came home and that's what we figured, but it's nearly two o clock." Cenotaph said as he looked questioningly at his leader.
"Well, something happened." Sanquinex didn't want to brush on that topic, not without Cho's permission.
"Well then, what happened?" Sky asked calmly, everyone looked to Sanquinex who seemed to be really touchy on the subject, seeing as he just glared at everyone and walked to his room.
"I'm guessing whatever happened wasn't very good." Blaze said as she looked at the spot Sanquinex had been moments before.
"We have to find out what's bugging him. And the best person to get that information from, is Cho." Kohana said, already walking towards the door, the others in close pursuit.
FASH: Well they get any answers from Cho, and if they do, are they going to totally flip? Find out next time on Dark Love.
