"That's what I thought." She commented before she turned towards the door. "Thanks for helping, Cale. Thanks /so/ much. Don't ever talk to me again."

He looked horribly hurt, but knew anything else he said would just make things worse, so instead he bowed his head and stared at the floor as she left. Zane glanced between the two, a bit conflicted and more than a little confused, but still holding the door open.

Terezi walked to the door and exited the house. She was done here. Now she had to make to Tassek's house before her father did.

God, of all vampires to know him, it was her own father. At least she didn't mention where Tassek lived in that mess.

I arrived back at the apartment to see the blonde person standing in the hall again. I frowned. "Do you need something?"

"Haha, no, not really. Just cuuuuurious~" they said in a singsongy voice, grinning creepily.

"....alright then." I moved towards the door but they placed themselves in front of me. "If you wouldn't mind replacing yourself further down the hallway, it would be greatly appreciated."

"No thanks. Seccy, you're not alright, are you." They stepped forward and ran a finger along my chest. I shivered and backed away.

"How do you -- get away from me."

"You don't even know what's left for you to do, but you have no choice, am I right? Of course I am."

"What? That doesn't --"

"I bet you'd like a bit of company. Louhkie wants to get out so bad."

"....Louhkie?"

"At this point he'd prefer anyone over me, and I think he just really wants to annoy you to the brink of suicide."

"Stop talking to me. Go away. Now." I shoved past them and unlocked the apartment as quickly as I could, slamming the door behind me and pressing my back to it. I heard them chuckle outside before another door closed.

Terezi pulled her hood up and over her head. Stay hidden. Stay hidden. She shoved her hands into her pockets, still shaking from her previous anger. Her cheek itched and she rubbed it with the back of her hand. Tears? Did she really become that angry? It didn't matter right now. Tassek was now a danger.

She knocked on the door of his apartment. Luckily, she didn't sense any vampires around. At least for now. Though, at any moment she was ready to fight if they did indeed showed up.

He got up off his pile of pillows surrounding the laptop and went to the door, opening it. "Oh, hey. What's up?"

2015-05-05 01:58:28

●

Immediately once Tassek opened the door, she threw her arms around him and gave him a tight hug, still shaking from the previous events. He was okay. /He was okay./

2015-05-05 02:01:29

🌀

He stumbled backwards a little in surprise. What? Was she okay? Was Spyders after her again? "T-Terezi?"

2015-05-05 02:02:45

●

She immediately looked up at him, her eyes filled with worry. "There's something I need to tell you. Privately."

2015-05-05 02:04:54

🌀

"....um, okay." He pulled her in and closed the door, looking worried himself. "Are you alright?"

2015-05-05 02:06:11

●

She moved a piece of hair out of her face. "Yes...No...I'm not sure." She exhaled. "So I had just found out that my father is alive and currently a vampire, shortly after he tried to attack Seculus. "

2015-05-05 02:09:08

🌀

"Uh...what?" She was joking, right? "Your dad? Wait, he attacked Seculus?" Did he count as alive if he was undead? How did that work?

2015-05-05 02:13:00

●

"Yes, apparently Cale forget to mention for however-many-fucking-years that he /knew/ my father was still kicking. The point is, my father apparently knows you. I mentioned your name once and he seemed a bit too interested for comfort."

2015-05-05 02:16:24

🌀

"What? He does?" Was that a good thing, that his girlfriend's dad knew him by name? "Well, um...fortunately, I don't think he knows where I live. I'll be fine." He patted her on the back.

2015-05-05 02:21:50

●

"And it's only a matter of time before he does. He knew Cale, for fucks sake. One can only guess as to what else Cale kid about my father from me."

2015-05-05 02:24:43

🌀

She seemed really, really pissed at Cale. Well, more than usual, anyway. "It'll be okay. Really. Maybe he just really wants to meet the person his daughter's dating?" He smiled sheepishly.

2015-05-05 02:28:00

●

She shook her head. "I didn't mention that to him, and I'm glad I didn't. Wait no, that came out wrong. I mean-" She exhaled. " I mean that the less he knows, the better....Cale mentioned something about him being dangerous. Very dangerous."

2015-05-05 02:30:15

🌀

"Who do you know that /isn't/ dangerous? Well, aside from the obvious. Okay, so the less he knows, the better off I am, and it doesn't sound like he knows much at all right now. Calm down."

2015-05-05 02:32:45

●

"That is the point, however. I've put you in more danger than I should, and now I risk you getting hurt, or worse." Her thoughts and speech was frantic, obvious that she wasn't calming down.

2015-05-05 02:34:29

🌀

"Terezi. Breathe. It'll be fine. We just have to deal with this calmly and rationally." He wasn't normally this serene. It probably had something to do with what he'd been doing for most of the day, which was playing puzzle games on his laptop. No stress, no mess. Or maybe it was the weird emptiness in his head. He felt like he should be more concerned about that.

2015-05-05 02:38:16

●

"It won't be." She countered, "He could be waiting for something to happen. You could get killed. You could-" Her words were picking up in speed as she spoke each one, stopping only before thinking the worse possible thing that could happen to him.

2015-05-05 02:44:01

🌀

"/I won't/." He guessed what the last one was. "But that stuff has a higher chance of happening if we don't stop and think about what we can do to stop it. Panicking isn't going to do anyone any good."

2015-05-05 02:46:17

●

She exhaled slowly. "I-I. You're right." Just calm down, Terezi. Just calm down. She couldn't calm herself though. Terezi just couldn't.

Maybe murder could- what? No.

2015-05-05 02:49:38

🌀

"Shh." He stroked her hair soothingly. "Okay. So he knows my name, but that's it. Getting him off my tail shouldn't be too hard."

2015-05-05 02:53:43

●

Her hand shakily met his. "But I don't even know how we could begin to even do that."
