Tilla groaned and went back upstairs, she laid on her bed, mumbling about killing Kaine. Eden chuckled, reclining back, petting her cat with one hand and holding a book above her head with the other. Baghera bit her and when she looked over it was not her cat that she saw but Nyx. "You had to have my cat bite me to talk to me?" Eden sat up, though she knew it was just happening in her head. "He asked me to speak with you." Nyx replied sitting next to her the bed. "He's worried you've been neglecting your responsibilities." Eden grimaced. "Fair enough." Nyx put her hand on the fledgling's shoulder and nodded at Tilla's form across the room, frozen due to Eden's righteous hallucination. Eden looked at her with a loving smile, but then frowned as she thought of Kaine. Sighing the Goddess, squeezed slightly. "You know what she is to you, Eden. Why must you deny your gifts?" "I don't want any of this!" Eden stood up, yelling at the Goddess frantically. "I don't want to have to choose between Tilla and Kaine; I don't want to have to see into everyone's lives!" Nyx reached out to her as Eden fell to her knees, crying. "I-I don't want to have to -…" Eden couldn't hear the last word she said as her ears started ringing. Tilla was now very concerned about her supposed soulmate, she hadn't responded for almost two minutes now. She looked over at her seeing her crying. She lept up, unwittingly hurting herself, and knelt at her roommate's bed. "Eden?" Eden sat up, wiping her tears as she looked at Tilla. "Oh… h-hey…" "Why are you crying?" Shaking her head, Eden pushed herself away. "N-Nothing… Nyx just chewing me out again." "Well made if you just used your gift, helped up out…" Tilla looked away when Eden glared at her. "Kaine's mentioned you have an amazing gift." "How would she know? Big bad warrior, mind reader?" Eden was now yelling at Tilla. "Yeah." Eden sat back down on her bed, shaking her head but saying nothing. Tilla said her name a few times before she went back to her bed and pulled out DS. Both were resigned to let the other speak first. Kaine was a little flustered as she walked into the boys' dorms for the first time. There weren't any rules or curfews, why should there be — Vampyres were infertile, but Eos and Seig had always come over to the girls' dorm when the lot of them hung out. She wasn't sure where Eos' room was, but she asked a male that she recognized from one of her classes. When she got upstairs, she stopped at the door. She had to collect herself. Maybe it was too soon to be knocking at his door. Maybe it made her look needy. Then she groaned, because she was needy, desperately so. The door opened before she could knock. Eos raised an eyebrow at her. "Took you long enough." Kaine chuckled nervously then coughed. Before she could get a word out, Eos was pulling her in by the neck for a kiss. She returned it eagerly, pushing him gently into the room, struggling to shut the door behind them. Eos pushed her against it, moving his hands to her waist. Kaine groaned against his lips, allowing his tongue entrance as her hands moved into his curly mop of hair and pulled him closer. They broke apart when there was a nervous throat clearing behind them. Kaine looked past Eos and saw Siegfried getting up. "I-I'm… l-leaving…" Nodding, Kaine and Eos separated further, each going on opposite sides of the door. Once Sieg left, they sat on Eos' bed with their hands interlocked tightly. They sat in silence, annoying Kaine. With anyone else, she'd read their mind and answer the question. "Tell me what you're thinking." He said it first, glancing at her. She frowned, squeezing his hand tighter. "How annoying it is that I don't know what you're thinking." Laughing, he pulled their hands up and kissed her fingers. "Maybe I'll keep it that way." Kaine started to pull her hand away. "Stop frowning. You're so much prettier when you smile." "My attractiveness isn't on my list of things I current care about, especially now." Eos took her cheek in his free hand. "I still hate seeing you frown. I don't want you to be anything but happy." "You're such a fucking sap." All the same she pressed her face into his hand. "I bet you use these lines on all the girls." He chuckled, kissed her Mark. She grimaced, pulling away. Sighing, Eos released her. "Now I know what you're thinking." Kaine looked at him, still frowning, on the verge of tears. "I don't care about the Mark Kaine. Even if you didn't have one, I'd still love you." Her eyes widened at his words. "You what?" "I love you. I love you Kaine." She stopped breathing, taking her face into her hands. She was supposed to love Eden. Eden was her fucking soulmate for gods' sake. No… Eden was her –and- Tilla's soulmate, more Tilla's than hers. Right now, there was nothing Kaine could expect from Eden. "Kaine? I'm sorry…" He touched her shoulder lightly. She shook her head, kissing him sweetly. "No, it's okay… I love you too… I'm pretty sure I'm in love with you too." Smiling against her lips, Eos continued the kiss, pulling her on top of him. After the second morning Kaine woke up in Eos's room, in his bed, she rolled and nuzzled her face into his neck. He was still sleeping, but she didn't mind. She liked watching him sleep. Her fingers trailed over his vein and he shivered, her mouth started watering as she felt his pulse. "N-No…" She pulled her hand back and fell off the bed with a thump. Eos got out of bed and looked down at her. "Kaine?" When she didn't look up at him, he sighed and crawled onto the floor with her. He reached out to pull her hands away from her, one from her chest the other from her face. Kaine pulled away and he grabbed her. "Look at me, are you okay?" Shaking her head, she stood up, gathering her clothes. "No… I don't want to hurt you." Before he could catch her again, she had on enough of her clothes that she was leaving. Eos tried chasing after her, but she was gone. Kimi was up, sort of. "Aren't you grounded?" She asked her roommate, not looking up at her. Kaine didn't reply, rushing to the mini fridge. "W-We're out?" She curled up in a ball, digging her nails into her legs. Kimi sighed, kneeling down in front of her. "What happened?" "I could've killed him." Rolling her eyes, the older girl shook Kaine's shoulders. "No, you didn't. If you asked him, I'm sure he'd let you drink from him. You need blood, right Kaine?" As she got up, Kaine grimaced. "I wish I didn't, not yet. I'm going to get a shower. I promised Cleo and Circe a shopping trip." "Can I come?" "Yeah… yeah, if you want." Then Kaine was disappearing into the bathroom.
