It is morning , sunlight is flooding the room , dust particles falling down slowly . She doesn't stop caressing her , her hands stroking her back gently . Quinn pretends to be asleep . It is easier that way . She is supposed to hate her . Despise her . She isn't supposed to nap in her arms and enjoy her presence . Why was Vayne so gentle in the first place ? Was it guilt ? an attempt to gain her forgiveness ? was she trying to bribe her into letting her feast on her own accord ? or was she just playing with her , waiting for her to let her guard down and then kill her slowly . She doubted those were the reasons . She saw her eyes that night . Bloody moons gazing into her eyes in shock dripping with guilt . That wasn't the expression of a monster . Vayne moved her hand to the twin marks on her neck , stroking them gently . She had bandaged the wound . The bleeding had stopped .
" I will carry you to your room "
She lifted her carefully on her arms and opened the door . Quinn rested her head on her shoulder , wrapping her arms around the vampire's neck . She didn't want to leave just yet . Vayne glanced at her , her expression carefully blank before she stepped into the corridor . She headed for the scout's room , red irises silencing her fellow champions , making them move out of her way . She stopped at the door , unsure of how to proceed . She could break the door with little effort but that would only make Quinn's life harder and disrupt her sleep . She glanced at Quinn only to be confronted with her amber orbs and flushed face .
" Can you unlock the door ? "
She tried to act politely and caring but she didn't really know much about the subject . She had lost her parents when she was young and she had spent most of her days training and plotting her revenge under the cold stares or butlers and instructors that thought of her as a monster . Their disgusted glares were all the courtesy she knew . The duty of slaying beasts in exchange for the wretched thing she called life was all the kindness she had received . Her tone sounded fake even to her , maybe she was bitter . She was jealous of all these people who could go on and live their lives without having to shed blood and dine in the shadows . She hated the way they could enjoy a meal along with their family and loved ones and the way the sun hurt her eyes . She was even jealous of Quinn , the girl that she had traumatized . How pathetic was that ?
" I don't have the key "
Vayne closed her eyes , she couldn't just leave her here . People would start asking questions and she didn't want to stay in the light for longer than necessary . She felt tired all of a sudden . She was about to turn around and carry the scout back to her room when Valor landed on her shoulder . She gazed at the bird . He was looking rather menacingly at her , his talons digging into her fresh , his beak holding a small key .
" thanks Val "
The scout struggled to pet her partner's head before the avian leaned to help her . She took the key and unlocked the door . Vayne stepped in squeezing her eyes shut in the process . She blinked a few times before opening them again . Quinn's room was certainly brighter than her own . She lowered the scout on the bed carefully . Valor flew away and landed on the bed stand his irritated gaze burrowing into Vayne . She turned to leave , Quinn's hand held her in place . Her fingers quietly slipping in her palm .
" stay "
Vayne turned her face slightly , crimson orb gazing at her coldly , before she pulled her hand out of her grasp .
" The night of the full moon is special , I can't harm you now . "
She walked away feeling the scout's disappointed gaze on her back . Valor eyed his partner confused .
