Scud POV
Where was I? Was I dead? No...If I was dead my head wouldn't be hurting like it does now...Son of a bitch...I was sitting on a park bench in the park where me and Mina had been. I look down to see Mina laying asleep on my lap, her chest rising and falling with every breath she took.
I sighed in relief...Was everything that had happened just a dream? Had that really happened? My answer was given as I could feel the throbbing pain on my lip from where those fucking blood suckers had marked me...How the hell was I supposed to keep this from B? Maybe he already knew…
I gently brushed the brown locks of hair from Mina's face, brushing my fingers against her silky skin. If she found out what I was doing she would kill me...But I didn't care...All I cared about was keeping her safe...even if it meant that she would hate me forever…My heart hurt thinking about it...about her hating me...It would kill me to have her hate me, when I cared so much for her. It was a sacrifice, a sacrifice I was willing to make.
Mina's eyes gently fluttered open and she smiled lightly, her eyes not fully open from being so tired. "Why hello there"
"Hey beautiful, sleep well?" I smirked
"Geez its morning already! Why didn't you wake me?"
" Didn't have the heart to. You looked pretty tired and I didn't want to move ya. Plus heh...I kinda fell asleep as well.." I hated lying to her, but I had to…
She smiled up at me and kissed my cheek "You're sweet. But next time wake me"
I smirked and stood up, stretching. These were going to be horrible next few months…

We got back to the warehouse and I went to my workshop, sighing slightly as I worked on some new weapons I was developing for B.
How would Mina react when she found out that I was working for those bastards? She would hate me forever...she'd not want anything to do with me. My heart broke just thinking about it...but I had to do it no matter the cost. Above all I cared that Mina be safe, it was my own fault I got us into this situation. I shouldn't have been so god damned stupid as to take that route...Now Mina was a ticking time bomb that could go off any second and I wouldn't be able to stop it...I would find a way to somehow stop it though...Maybe I could somehow make an invention that would render the bomb useless...The thing is...if I tried...I could accidently set it off..And I can't do that either...Maybe I should tell her what happened...Make some sort of plan to get rid of the bomb…?
I couldn't tell her...That would add even more unneeded stress on her and that might set off the bomb in itself. Maybe I should talk to B...he'd know what to do...plus he wouldn't put Mina in anything that would put her in danger. It'd be the safest thing for her I think...Then together we could figure out some way to defeat those vamps and save Mina at the same time. Mina wouldn't be able to know though…
I felt arms wrap around my waist and heard her soft giggle. I smiled to myself before peeking over my shoulder to see Mina. I smirked at her and chuckled, leaning down and kissing her. Her hands tangled in my hair, bringing me closer to her, so I lifted her up onto my work table and continued to kiss her. She pulled back, leaning her forehead against mine and smiled, touching my face gently.
"Josh? I...I need to tell you something...promise not to...judge me or laugh?" Mina said, biting her bottom lip
I smirked "Depends on what you say but...ya sure. I promise not to laugh...much…" I chuckled
"I...well…"
"Cmon Mina, I promise I won't laugh"
She sighed and looked into my eyes "I...I love you"
I smiled, feeling a jump in my stomach. She loved me? I couldn't even believe this was actually happening "I love you too Mina…" I leaned down and kissed her again.
If only she knew what I was going to do...She wouldn't love me...She would hate me...and rightfully so….
She pulled back and must have seen my face and she frowned "What's wrong?"
I shook my head and smiled weakly "It's nothing. Don't worry about the Scudster. I'm fine"
If only that were true...
