As Hunter awoke he found that darkness had completely consumed him; unable to see a single shred of light. Sitting up groggily he brought his hands to his face; feeling an overwhelming burning sensation embedded deep in his flesh. Reaching up his fingers felt sticky as the gorges of his eyes were still leaking blood. Streaks of dark crimson dripped down his dirtied cheeks as he noticed a strange heat pulsing through his veins and throughout the rest of his body, strangely making him feel stronger and more agile than he had ever felt before. What happened? Where was he? Hunter sat still in the darkness, struggling to remember anything about himself or who he was. The sound of loud thumping interrupted his thoughts, catching his attention.
Curiously Hunter began to feel his way around, despite not being able to see he got around quite well, managing his way out of the bedroom he paused a moment, an overpowering thirst for blood filled Hunters senses as the stench of a human wafted into his nostrils. temporarily forgetting about the burning sensation caused by the gnarly gash in his face he crouched down and went silent, listening for the human his ears pricked up at the sound of scuffling downstairs. Promptly Hunter allowed the human to wander around aimlessly in the dark as he quietly studied his prey from the shadows. The Human smelled male and seemed to be incoherent as he could hear him stumbling clumsily around, knocking over a lamp the human jumped startled as the lamp shattered loudly on the ground.
With his animistic instincts taking over Hunter lunged at the unexpected man pouncing on him and knocking him down. the human quickly responded by opening his mouth and letting out a petrified scream, the scream piercing Hunters sensitive ears. letting out an irritated growl Hunter quickly looked to end the loud wailing of the obnoxious human; his screams making Hunters head pound in agony. Clawing at his throat violently Hunter wished to rip out the humans precious voice box. Letting out feral snarls and growls as he tore chunks of flesh from the mans neck; causing crimson liquid to spurt out of the messy wound. fresh blood stained Hunters hands as he continued his onslaught, not stopping until the humans screams turned into muffled gurgling as blood filled his throat and lungs, quickly suffocating him.
Although his prey now laid dead beneath him, his sickening impulse for blood was still strong. Deciding he wasn't done he continued to mutilate the rest of the mans face, stopping only when the human became unrecognizable. Getting up off the corpse Hunter paused a moment, admiring his job well done as he began to lick the excess blood from his fingers.
as the sounds of light footsteps approached, Hunter quickly scrambled away from the remains of the recently killed corpse, climbing his way up into a crevice in the ceiling he curiously peeked over, wondering what new prey had dared step into his domain.
Carefully rounding the corner Leia cupped a hand over her mouth, appalled by the sight of a rather violently mauled corpse laid in front of her, fresh blood stained the ground as chunks of flesh were smeared messily across the floor, the smell of blood and death were overwhelming, making bile rise into her throat as the horrid stench found its way into her nostrils.
Against her better judgment Leia took a few steps closer; seeing if she could possibly identify the body. Upon better inspection she could see the persons face had been completely mutilated and she wasn't really sure if the corpse was male or female. Giving the bloody remains of the tattered clothes a once over she decided the victim to be male, however he was clearly much larger and fatter, reassuring Leia that it wasn't Hunter. Relief flood over her body at the possibility that he was still alive.
Although she hadn't know the fallen survivor she couldnt help but feel sympathetic for them, they had died in a horrible way she wouldn't even wish on her worst enemy. she couldnt imagine what kind of monster was capable of such a thing, not wanting to find out she decided to keep moving.
Slowly Hunter crawled down from his make-shift hiding spot in the ceiling, quietly he began to stalk the frail girl, clinging closely to the shadows as to not be seen. Pausing to sniff the air a sweet, almost intoxicating aroma hit his nostrils, a tingle of pleasure ran through his body; making his mouth water. Although his initial goal was to kill, he now craved something stronger; an urge to be smothered in the pleasant scent.
Quickly he picked up his pace, waiting until he got close enough Hunter clumsily pounced onto the girl, knocking her to the floor. The girl let out a shriek of terror, promptly followed by a kick to the stomach. Shoving Hunter off her she quickly cowered into a corner, flashlight raised she pointed in at him, letting out a sharp gasp as she did. Her eyes teared up as she realized who it was.
As her eyes rested on Hunter Leia could see fresh blood smeared around his mouth; he was covered in it, however most of it wasnt his own and a sudden rise of panic found its way into her stomach. His face was hidden behind the shadows of his hood, and a prick of fear ran down her spine as the unmistakable sound of a low growling erupted from deep in his throat, warning her to stay back.
"H-hunter? is that y-you?" She managed to stutter, the batteries on her flashlight dying; causing the light to flicker a few times before properly working again.
Although he could not see her, he could smell the fear mixed with that pungent sweet aroma of hers, the scent caused a small smirk to pull at the corners of his lips, making Leia feel uneasy.
"I dont want to hurt you, please dont make me hurt you." She begged. However hunter ignored her gibberish as he was intent on her scent, slowly closing the small space between them he hungrily pounced on her, this time pinning her arms down by her side.
Ignoring her cries of protest he didnt hesitate as he buried his face into the crook of her neck, inhaling deeply he unintentionally let out a small purr as the intoxicating aroma filled his senses, there was a familiarity in the scent making a warm wave of calming pleasure run through him. "Please Hunter! please dont hurt me!" The girl pleaded, only to let out a small surprised gasp a moment later as Hunters curiosity had gotten the better of him. unexpectedly he stuck out his tongue, slowly trailing it up and down the sensitive skin of her neck, successfully receiving an involuntary moan from her.
Hunter smirked into her neck, her taste was just as sweet as her smell, however it was different from other humans. Normally her delicate skin would prove to be nothing but a thin barrier between his fangs and her blood; normally. but she wasn't normal. Although it took him a great deal of control not to devour her then and there, he had a stronger impulse; something he didn't understand. Slowly Hunters head began to travel south as the smell grew stronger and strong the further he went; nearly intoxicating him.
As leia squirmed from underneath him Hunter let out a fierce dominating growl; warning her to lie still. However the girl wouldnt comply as she now started shouting at him; her yells aggravating him, making a heat of anger rise into his body. How dare she defy him! Did this female have any idea what he was capable of? Sitting up Hunter viciously bared his fangs in a snarl; holding a clawed hand to her face. He could mutilate her, just like he did the previous human, she wouldnt be able to resist him then. However as he smelt the fear radiating off the trembling girl he found himself unable to do it. His Hand defied him as something deep inside him prevented him from ending her life.
Why? Hunter was with war with himself as the situation conflicted inside his head. He could kill her, he was stronger than her; so then why couldnt he? As the sweet aroma wafted into his senses again Hunter reared back from her, her scent confusing him as the impulse to smother the pleasant scent with his own was still there.
Leia let out a gasp of surprise as Hunter had suddenly released her. without hesitation she quickly got up and scrambled away from him before collapsing a few feet away. After catching her breath Leia glanced behind her shoulder, at hunter. There was a hungry, yet painful expression on his face as he was looking back at her; or atleast it seemed he was looking at her, she couldnt tell as the shadows of his hood concealed most of his face. Did he recognize her? Maybe he just couldnt see her well enough with that hood on. Slowly she crawled her way over to hunter, who was observing her silently.
Slowly Leia reached out a hand, gently gripping onto the fabric of his hood. unsure of her intentions, Hunter reared back, letting out a low growl from his throat, warning her to keep her distance. "I wont hurt you." Her voice was soft and reassuring, cupping his cheek delicately in her hand he felt a wave of calm wash over him as the heat of her skin warmed the cool flesh of his cheek, allowing himself to let his guard down. Again Leia slowly reached out, grabbing the fabric she slowly pulled it back.
As her eyes rested on his face she couldnt help but jumped back with a startled gasp as where his once baby blue eyes had been were now replaced by two dark bloody holes which were a mesh of damaged flesh and tissue. As Leia studied his face she felt a lump rise in her throat, fresh tears threatened to fall and suddenly she couldnt control herself anymore. Lurching forward she caught Hunter off guard as she threw her arms around his neck, pulling him into a tight embrace she couldnt contain herself as she began to cry for him.
As the girl pressed into him, Hunter remained still and tense, her wailing making him uncomfortable and unsure of what to do. "I-im sorry!" She started speaking in gibberish again. "Im sorry this happened to you! I should have ben there for you! im sorry!" She cried out for her undead friend, guilt and sorrow thick in her frail voice.
Before he could react Leia suddenly pulled back, slipping off the backpack she had ben wearing she pulled out a first aid kit. Opening the kit she gathered the necessary supplies needed to clean his wounds. Pouring rubbing alcohol onto a rag she began to tenderly dabbed around the gorges of his eyes, cleaning up the dirty dried blood that was around them and smeared across his face.
Hunter crinkled his nose up in a snarl as the scent of the rubbing alcohol wafted into his nostrils, it was a harsh toxic smell he didn't like, and every time she dabbed his face with it it made his skin tingle and burn, causing him mild discomfort. However the small sensations of pain subsided as she pulled away for a second, pulling out a thin fabric that felt soft against his skin she slowly began to wrap the cloth around his eyes. What was she doing? Was it good? bad?
Being careful as not to hurt him Leia delicately began to bandage his eyes. He must have know she was trying to help him because he sat quite still, not interfering as she tended to his wounds. After cutting and tying the bandage she pulled back and smiled, proud of her work. "There, that should feel alot better now." She said as she glanced at the bandages, noting that they would have to be changed daily as to prevent infection and rot to set in.
Running a clawed hand over the bandages Hunter was silent a moment as he admired the soft fabric against his skin, the burning sensation fading from his senses.
Leia watched him as he fondled with the new bandages curiously, a sudden thought occurring to her whether what she had just done was crazy or not. would others consider her crazy? she supposed the 'right thing' to do was kill him. '"friends dont let friends turn into monsters"'-she was told by someone whose name she had long but forgotten. Although as she watched him she felt there was still something there, that underneath it all it was still the brave, compassionate boy she had met back in the basement, which seemed like had happened an eternity ago.
Slipping his hood back over his head Hunter turned to the girl, the familiar scent of the intoxicating aroma wafted around him catching his attention again, making a ghost of a smile play on his lips as it soothed him.
As Hunter smiled at her Leia found the thought of killing him to be cruel and unimaginable. clearly he had retained some shred of humanity as he curiously sniffed at her again; licking her cheek affectionately, making a twisted sense of comfort washed over her.
