Looks like I can leave it to your darling, though.

She wasn't able to respond for lack of oxygen. Tassek's hand slipped out of hers, though far from voluntarily. She made a soft choking noise and scrabbled at her fingers.

<3.

Terezi dropped Lizzy on the ground. The force of letting go was enough to make Lizzy fall to the ground. Her hand returning to her pockets. "Get up." She commanded before kicking Lizzy in the stomach, hard.

Yeah, that was a reason she was feared and respected and France. No mercy from this woman.

^_^

She coughed blood and tried to push herself up, failing. There were bruises ringing her throat. Tassek shifted and reached to rub at his eyes, woken by the noise. "...what?...."

2015-04-19 03:32:46

●

Terezi's personality had completely changed the second she realized that Tassek had woken up. "Are you alright?" She asked as she turned to him as she held out his hand to help him up.

2015-04-19 03:35:54

🌀

"....I'm....holy shit. Lizzy?!" He blinked and gaped at the girl's fallen form, then looked at Terezi, using his hand to check for a pulse instead of taking hers. "What happened?!"

2015-04-19 03:39:04

●

Shit. Terezi fucked up. She immediately withdrew her hand and stuck it back in her pocket. "I...I..." She stuttered, making it obvious she really had something to do with this.

2015-04-19 03:42:52

🌀

He froze and stared at her with fearful eyes. "Why did you...." Lizzy had a pulse, but it was weak. What had she done to deserve this? It must have been horrible....right? She hadn't been bitten, though. So why...?

2015-04-19 03:57:59

●

She looked down, not saying anything. She stood there for a moment before turning her back towards him. "I'm sorry."

And ran.

2015-04-19 04:02:14

🌀

He sat in silence. What should he do? He couldn't call an ambulance, he would have to tell them what she'd done. But why was that such a bad thing? No, he didn't want to set the cops on her. But Lizzy was dying, what could he, what should he....

Shakily, he pulled out his phone and brought up Zane's contact. He'd given it to him on the way to Terezi's before. Something about moral support. It went to voicemail, and he stuttered a plea for help along with his location. Then he stumbled to his feet and, trying not to throw up or pass out, left. He couldn't look at her or think about it anymore.

Meanwhile, a sapphire haired asshole was walking about the empty streets. He kept stopping to look into his mind. He didn't want to go to Terezi's house. No, he was no longer allowed to go there.

That is, after that bite from her. That bite completely severed her bond, but whether Terezi knew it or not was not his problem. At least. Not anymore. She should though. Maybe the empty and loneliness will drive her insane, like so many said about him when his master died.

Though, he wanted to make her pay. He had no obligations anymore, and now was going to take advantage of it. He rubbed his neck. Stupid bitch left scars there.

Speaking of Terezi, he sensed her. On the move? Huh. He better see what's up. He broke into a run, following his senses until he stopped at an alleyway.

A girl? Lying there helpless and dying. He noticed the dark purple marks on her neck. This was obviously Terezi's doing.

There was /That/ Terezi. The Terezi who obeyed his every word, but why didn't she kill the human?

That gave him an idea. Their bond would surely be weak, but that just meant he would have no remorse of disposing of her once he got what he wanted.

He knelled over the girls body before biting into it, slowly taking only enough blood for the possibility of changing her.

2015-04-19 04:18:42

🌀

Everything was fuzzy. She tasted blood. She didn't know how long she lay there, but her dearest left her, and she felt so alone. Then there was a piercing sensation at her neck and she gasped with the small amount of breath she'd been able to take.

Tassek eventually made his way back up to his apartment. Something in the back of mind was regretful that Terezi hadn't made it here with him, but mostly it was blank, too shocked to even suggest the possibility of falling asleep. He sprawled out on the pile of pillows around his laptop and stared up at the ceiling, not thinking about anything. Warlock chirped curiously before going back to preening himself.

Once finished, Spyders sat next to the girl, slowly stroking her hair in an effort to calm him. "Shhh, just be still and it won't hurt you as much." He whispered to her. "I'm going to take all your hurt away."

2015-04-19 04:29:46

🌀

She whimpered. What had just happened? Who was this man? Why wasn't she able to lift her foot to kick him in the crotch? "T-Tas-kun....help..."

2015-04-19 04:46:26

●

"He isn't here." Spyders informed her. "The woman he was with dragged her away. It's okay, though...she made me lose something important to me too."

2015-04-19 04:48:14

🌀

The /bitch/. Her flickering rage gave her enough strength to raise her head slightly. It hurt so bad. "I want to....kill her....get revenge....who are you?"

2015-04-19 04:50:36

●

"Spyders, dear." He answered. " I can help you. I want her dead as well." he paused. "Will you let me help you?"

2015-04-19 04:52:07

🌀

Should she? He was a stranger, who had done something to her, she didn't know what, and was now trying to win her over with sweet-talk and promises.

And the bitch had taken Tassek.

That was all that mattered.

"Y-yes."

2015-04-19 04:54:35

●

"Good." He looked down at her. "Don't worry, just a few more moments and you'll understand what's going on."

2015-04-19 04:55:32

🌀

What did he -- ? Oh. /Oh./ All of a sudden it hurt, so very badly, all over, her teeth, her arms, her throat...then, with a final futile gasp, she went still.

Now all she felt was hunger and a sort of hook in her stomach, drawing her towards this strange man. She would help him. For Tassek. And because she had to.

2015-04-19 04:58:26

●

Spyders watched as the woman stopped breathing. He smiled and took her hand. "Come." He pulled her. "Let me show you what you and I are truely capable of."

2015-04-19 05:00:38

🌀

The phone buzzed on the counter the second it had enough power. Zane looked up from his book; had he received a message the second it was capable? No, that was silly. It was probably a message. He picked it up and listened to Tassek's hysterical voice, frowning. Cale walked into the room and looked at his, um, roommate's expression. "Is it one of those Indian salespeople again? Just say something in Japanese and hang up." "No, it is a message from Tassek. Apparently a girl was hurt in an alley down the street. He did not specify as to how, however. Do you do that on a regular basis?" "Leave the asshole to deal with his own shitty problems. And do what?" "Pretend to be a foreigner to confuse salespeople. That is impolite." "But it works." "Really, Cale. And anyway, I do not understand the sudden grudge you have against him, but I am going to investigate. Accompany me or do not." "Whatever. May as well see what all the fuss is about." Zane grabbed his coat and they went out the door.

Upon arriving at the scene of the crime, Zane was immediately puzzled by the fact that there was no one there. Not even a body. Sure, he'd gotten the message late, but Tassek wouldn't have been able to take her anywhere, and if he had called him then that meant he hadn't wanted to try professional services. It smelled like blood, though.

Cale could smell it too, but it was stronger and made him hungry...well, most of it. The rest.....huh. He could sense two vampires. One was very obviously Spyders; he was just fucking everywhere lately. The other was unfamiliar. Had he turned someone here? He looked Zane in the eye and they came to a silent agreement on the matter. What they didn't agree upon however, vocally or not, was the issue of what to do about it. Cale knew that if he suggested telling someone, that 'someone' would be including Tassek, no matter how he protested. Zane, on the other hand, was very aware that Cale wouldn't want to tell the poor boy, so he would just have to keep that plan to himself. And so, with these secret, counteractive courses of action in mind, they went back to the apartment and prepared to do what each of them thought must be done.

Terezi didn't look back and she kept her hood covering her head as much as possible. She fucked up. She fucked up. Her senses were running wild as she sensed another vampire. Probably Spyders. She didn't really care. She just wanted to be home, and ran faster.

Quickly she headed to her apartment and ran inside. Fuck everything. Tears streamed down her face as she collapsed onto the couch.

2015-04-19 05:38:26

🌀

It had been almost a full week since....well. He still didn't like to think about it. Tassek tried to avoid sleep whenever he could, since it brought with it nightmares of Terezi strangling students at his school, ones he'd seen only once or twice on the way to class. For the most part he had canceled his tutoring sessions, and had been staying up late reading. Naturally this caused him to fall asleep more during the day, but at least those were mostly dreamless naps.

While dragging himself to his calculus class, he felt like someone was watching him, and it sent a shiver down his spine. He hadn't seen Lizzy since the incident, and assumed Zane was taking care of her. He'd texted him to ask how she was and all he got in reply was a largely worded message basically stating "I need to talk to you about that. Meet me at Walgreen's this evening." Walgreen's? Seemed kind of random, but whatever.

There was, in fact, someone shadowing him, and when he paused to check his phone for the time she slipped forward to hug him from behind.

"Tas-kun...~"

Meanwhile, Cale arrived at Terezi's, using an umbrella to keep off those harmful UV rays. She definitely had to know about the new kid on the block. He knocked.

2015-04-19 17:14:23

A week passed. Nothing. Just nothing. Terezi stayed at home mostly, only once going out to feed. She didn't want to face Tassek, not after what he just saw. Sewing? Everytime she started, she just ether stopped from boredom or had to spend an hour to redo every stich she made. Sleep? She tried that, and that was pretty much her only outlet.

That what she was doing at the moment. Sleeping. No dreams. Just sleep. That is, until she heard a knock on the door and she immediately pulled herself out of it and sat up from her living room couch. Vampire. Her eyes moved to the closed curtains and noticed small streaks of sun coming out from the sides. At this time of day?

She stood up and answered it. Sure enough, it was Cale. "Oh." she answered in a monotone voice. "What do you want?"

2015-04-19 17:26:54

🌀

"Great to see you missed me, 'rezi. Look, I had something important to tell you." He closed the umbrella and entered the apartment. "Spyders turned a new one."

Tassek very nearly fell asleep, but the numbing shock kept him awake. He slipped away from her embrace and looked her over. "Lizzy?? Are you alright?" She smiled, showing sharp fangs, and leaned in to grab his hands. The smile was sweet and innocent, but empty at the same time. "I'm better than okay. Don't worry, Tas-kun. I'll kill that bitch for you and then you'll be free." Oh God, what? Careful, darling, this isn't going to end well. He tried to pull his hands away, but she was too strong. "W-what, she didn't, are you, oh, oh shit...."
