Fuck, already? She sighed. Her hoodie moved off her. Oh. He gave it back? "You really want to know?"

I nodded. I wanted to know everything, but that was an unrealistic goal.

She didn't answer him. Instead, he reached into the pocket of the hoodie and pulled something out. It was folded small enough to not be noticed unless you were looking for it, so it was exactly where she left it. Carefully, she unfolded the small paper and handed it to him silently.

I frowned and took it, unfolding it. What was this? It was very official-looking aside from the torn-off bottom half and seemed to be describing some kind of disease. An unpleasant one by the looks of it. Mood swings, coughing up blood, eventual death...transmitted through bites. Bites? Raphael had...oh no. Oh, no, no, no. I stared at for a second to make sure I was interpreting it correctly, then turned my gaze to Terezi. "...this is...."

●

She looked away. "Yeah, I know."

2015-06-25 05:21:24

🌀

".....and...you're sure he gave it to you?"

2015-06-25 05:23:39

●

"Only reason why he'd be with Rachael, because he can spread it."

2015-06-25 05:25:04

🌀

"Spread it? I thought they didn't want to hurt humans."

2015-06-25 05:27:01

●

"Yeah well I can easily say I don't want to hurt anyone either. Doesn't make it true."

2015-06-25 05:28:11

🌀

"And now we...both have this. And it's lethal."

2015-06-25 05:29:16

●

"Which is exactly why I wanted you to let me die. Now you have it too." Her expression seemed entirely serious.

2015-06-25 05:29:56

🌀

"Don't be ridiculous. Even if I'd known, I never would have done that." I glanced over the paper again, then set it down on the couch, rubbing my face. "...eleven days. And I'd hoped to go out quickly...there has to be a cure. Otherwise he wouldn't have given it to himself."

●

"They're more like....carriers, I guess. Immune to it but can give it to other people." She ran a hand through her hair. "And you had so much more live for than I did."

2015-06-25 07:27:59

🌀

I sighed. "Now you're just spouting nonsense. Did you see how many people came first thing when you returned? I just have Anndrea. Well, not 'just', but...you have so many people who love you. She'll miss me terribly, I know that, but she's the only one. ...we'll find something. There has to be something."

2015-06-25 07:35:37

●

"That isn't the point. I'm a vampire. My time should of been hundred of years ago." She looked down. "I don't think there is anything, honestly."

2015-06-25 07:37:14

🌀

"Half the page is missing, though. It couldn't have simply been blank."

2015-06-25 07:40:15

●

"A lot of the files I stole only had a few things on them per page. They're added by date. "

2015-06-25 07:41:20

🌀

"Let's pretend this one doesn't. And that other half is out there somewhere. Where might it be?"

2015-06-25 07:45:32

●

"The facility still. I tore it out as I was leaving....I really didn't even get time to look at it."

2015-06-25 07:46:39

🌀

"So there could be another half of the information. And therefore a cure. I have no right to be saying this, but we can't lose hope now."

2015-06-25 07:47:55

●

She shrugged. "All I ask is we don't tell the others, just in case. Let them find out on their own."

2015-06-25 07:49:58

🌀

She was doing this again. It was like her fallback method. Unfortunately, this time I couldn't disagree. If we told them then all it would do is hurt them, especially since, for now, no one could do anything about it. I sighed. "......alright. And if they don't?"

2015-06-25 07:52:45

●

"Then it will be drama free, or they find out when we're dead."

2015-06-25 07:55:38

🌀

How pleasant. I stopped talking, running my fingers along my wrist and the scar there. When I'd almost killed myself, Anndrea had been worried sick for days and periodically burst into tears. How would she feel if I died without her even knowing it was happening? I wouldn't have to see her reaction, but I didn't want it to happen at all. ...I should test my wings before I lose them again. Just once. In the morning maybe.

"...I never wanted things to end this way. I'm sorry." She looked the other way. "In fact, I didn't think he was going to do this."
