Vayne kept pacing inside the scout's room , her nerves a tattered mess . She needed to see Quinn , she needed to know that she was fine . She had left the scout bleeding in the infirmary almost an hour ago and she hadn't heard from her since then . What could she possibly be doing ?
She sighed , her transformation at a young age had left her with little knowledge about the limitations of the human body . She could have bled to death for all she knew . Crying in the darkness ,abandoned and alone , devoid of the warmth of human contact like ... like herself .
She could still remember the day her life ended in the manor . Her trembling frame , the servants corpses , her parents dead eyes staring at her from the shadows . The way she had crawled on the floor holding her ripped neck trying to reach her loved ones , desperate to hold their hands one last time . The sudden hunger , the fit of madness , her fangs sinking in their faces mutilating their bodies . The bitter taste , the sickening sounds , her flesh sticking back together , the tears that followed . The look on her youthful face when she saw her reflexion in the mirror covered in her parents blood . The realisation that she was a monster .
Vayne punched the wall , her fist creating a small crater on the previously smooth surface . She closed her eyes letting the pain wash away the images , finding shelter in the throbbing of her broken knuckles . She sighed , her eyes spotting a crimson stain on Quinn's wall . She cursed . Great , even more blood on the scout's apartment , just what she needed . She wet a towel in the kitchen and started rubbing the wall lost in thought . Quinn should be back any moment now , angry and exhausted ready to decide her fate . Her amber gaze flickering in barely concealed rage .
She sighed , she just wanted to make sure that she was ok . Punishment or not it didn't really mater as long as Quinn returned to her alive . She loved her ,she hadn't even realised it until she jumped from that building to save her . It was the logic thing to do . She was a vampire , she wouldn't die so easily , she could heal . Quinn on the other hand was a mortal , she cried , she bled , she got sick . A fall from that hight would certainly kill her .
So she jumped . She used herself as a cushion to protect her from the fall , she had broken a few bones to save her life and when the dust finally settled down and she saw her face she froze in shock . Trembling , bruised and scared she laid in her arms , flailing in panic , the scout was the most beautiful thing she had ever seen and she suddenly knew . She had fallen for Quinn . The cute little lamb had warmed its way to the beast's heart . She had lost her fangs like a tamed wolf in captivity mesmerised by the scout's kindness .
But a caged beast was still a beast and she had killed Quinn's brother . Even worse she had turned him into a monster before ending his life for the second time . Quinn was probably plotting her revenge right now, the only reason that she had stopped her from killing herself was to inflict her more pain .
But then why? Why had she saved her in the first place ? Why had she treated her wounds and allowed her to spend the night in her arms ? If she was after her life , why not just let her die from hunger and get done with it . Was it ... Could it be .. Was there any hope that Quinn also harbored feelings for her other than hate and fear inside her broken heart ? Vayne closed her eyes .
" Please don't let her see me for the monster I am . "
She already knew that it was too late for that .
