Note: I've changed the perspective of the characters instead of being in first person, the story will be told in third person.

Chapter 4: A Blanket of Darkness

Five Days after First Infection

When they got back to the apartment all the lights had been sucked out of existence, the hallways were covered in darkness and navigation was near impossible for the average human being. Luckily neither of Seer or Vivian were human so they could easily see in the dark. Seer climbed the stairs up to the top floor, carrying Vivian on his back. She had passed out due to exhaustion due to the day's events; though it was only soon that this had occurred, he had to carry her back to the apartment with her still crying which was no easy task with having to avoid any curious infected that came to find the source of the crying. She remained quiet as he ascended the last flight of stairs. As Seer reached the top of the stairs he felt her stir uncomfortably on his back, digging her claws into his shoulders as she held on. He felt her take in a stuttering breath, guessing she was going to ask to be put down but was surprised when she simply nuzzled into the back of his neck and relaxed her grip. Blood continued to slowly ooze its way out of his wounds but by now he had grown accustomed to the pain he received from her.

Seer approached the door to their safe house which remained closed. Letting go of Vivian's right thy, Seer quickly opened the door so that he didn't let her slip off his back. As he did this she let out a tired moan and dug her claws back into his shoulders so that she didn't fall off his back before he returned to keep her steady. They slid into the apartment quietly and shut the door behind them. Seer walked down the long hallway that was the entrance to the apartment and made a turn into the bedroom on the right. He walked up to the bed and sat down on it, allowing Vivian to slide off his back but her arms remained linked softly around his neck. He waited patiently for her to release him from her grip but his patience was not rewarded so he instead attempted to stand up. He was brought down again by surprising strength and a piercing pain as Vivian yet again dug her claws into him, causing him to sit down again. He was about to scold her before she nuzzled roughly into him, causing the spot at which she did so to become slightly wet. She was crying again. He placed a reassuring hand on hers before she murmured out a request through her tears.

"…Don't leave me…" she said softly, barely audible even in the quiet vacancy of the room. She released him softly as he turned to face her. Her hair had fallen in front of her face along with her bangs which had moved to cover her eyesight, none the less; the stream of tears was still visible in the darkness of the room. Seer bent down and brushed away the tears from her eyes, moving her bangs out of the way as he took her hands in his.

"I'll be back alright? Just stay here, I promise I won't be long." He said reassuringly letting go of her hands. He couldn't help but notice she reached out longingly as he let go but quickly pulled back and waited as he walked out the bedroom and shut the door behind him. Seer decided he needed to change into something more fitting for sleep along with the thought that he should dress his cuts. Entering the kitchen, Seer pulled out a roll of bandaging which he had started collecting since Vivian and joined him, this roll was the only one he had currently. He finished wrapping his wounds and placed a black T-shirt over top of them along with removing his underwear and throwing on a pair of plaid pajama pants in their place. He had decided he had done just about enough that he wanted to do, as well as he had wanted to give Vivian her probably much needed space.

Seer walked back down the hallway to the bedroom stopping just outside the door and placing a keen ear to the wood. He could not hear any weeping from inside so he assumed Vivian had stopped crying. When he entered the room he was relieved to see she had fallen asleep, letting out a deep yet quiet sigh of relief. He slipped under the covers and turned to face the wall when suddenly he was face to face with a red faced, silver haired, purple eyed woman who he had previously assumed to be asleep. He attempted to gasp but before he could she pulled herself closer to him, pressing up against his body under the covers. Something hard was pressing against his bare skin, not her claws but something cone like in shape. He heard her moan softly as she buried her face into his collar and lay there looking up at him. Her eyes shone with a hungry gleam that brought a slight nervousness to Seer, he was about to ask what was wrong before he realized something… Vivian was naked under the sheets. Seer felt the red seep into his cheeks and noticed the same thing had happened to Vivian. Why was she doing this? Was it because of how he acted? He didn't have time to think much as he continued to stare into Vivian's eyes. Suddenly, she lurched upwards exposing her upper torso from beneath the sheets although Seer couldn't catch a glimpse at this. He was gently and passionately embraced in a kiss with his roommate, the girl he had found half naked in a supply closet and had only shared the same apartment and bedroom with her once before. His mind has barely settled before she pushed into him again, repeating the kissing motion while at the same time maneuvering her hand to lift up his shirt. He didn't have time to stop her and prepared for the pain that was coming. It never came; instead a soft feeling crept up his body along with her claws. They dragged the normally sharp tips along his skin but instead of pain he received a feeling of being tickled almost, like she was dragging a feather up his body as she removed his shirt. Once the black t-shirt lay strewn on the floor he took her hand is his suddenly, this time palm to palm as he rand his fingers up and down what seemed to be dulled claws. He wasn't cut by his actions, in fact the claws felt like real fingers now, soft and longing for something.

Vivian hadn't looked away when he noticed her body but when he started touching her hand she seemed overly embarrassed. Vivian shot her eyes away from him as he inspected her hands. Seer decided he had had enough of her hands and looked to the now shy girl who lay beside him, grabbing her face he forced his lips to hers as their tongues collided and danced with each other. They continued this, completely absorbed in passion as Vivian somehow managed to find her way on top of him. Her body now fully exposed to him, she held on to him and continued her loving assault, soon enough bringing up enough courage to move her hand down his now bandaged and uncovered chest. The last thing Seer remembered was a wild face of ecstasy that had found its way onto the witches face before his mind went blank.
