Carrie sighed as they walked down the hall, she was getting nowhere. Kenny was almost telling her to fuck off. She had only met the Vamiltes but once, and she already hated them as much as everyone else.

[I can't even stand up to my own family, I could never be a hero.]

A groan of tedium escapes me,
Startling the fearful.
Is this a test? It has to be,
Otherwise I can't go on.
Draining patience, drain vitality.
This paranoid, paralyzed vampire act's a little old.

"Kenny," Carrie said after failing to hold his arm, " It's okay. It'll all be fine."

But I'm still right here
Giving blood, keeping faith
And I'm still right here.

Wait it out,
Gonna wait it out,
Be patient (wait it out).

[How will it be fine? I'm finished. There is no way to win here.]

If there were no rewards to reap,
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
Gonna wait it out.

If there were no desire to heal
The damaged and broken met along
This tedious path I've chosen here
I certainly would've walked away by now.

And I still may ... (sigh) ... I still may.

"Kenny....I"

Be patient.
I must keep reminding myself of this.

And if there were no rewards to reap,
No loving embrace to see me through
This tedious path I've chosen here,
I certainly would've walked away by now.
And I still may.

"Kenny.....I want to help you."

[She's right]

Kenneth grabbed her by the waist and held tight.

"Kenny....It'll be alright they won't find here."

"No they can't. I won't let them."

"I....."
