Gage Wheeler let out a groan as he looked around to see where he was, but as he did he say his shoulder was out of place and when he took a breath he could feel a rib poking at his lungs. He closed his eyes and tired to call out his beast, but it was not here, it must have been what they have given him again….what was it and how did they do it? His mind raced as he tried to find out where he was again
Serenity Terasaur continued walking towards the park, though she stopped right in front of the old FB when her twin picked up and asked where she was, “Standing in front of old FB…was gonna come meet you at the park…” She continued on until she caught scent of something faintly metallic smelling, wrinkling her nose as the wind blew the scent around her. The panwere spun around on her heels in a small circle, phone pressed to her ear as she continued scenting the area, it was blood…but where…? She frowned, her wolf and lioness floating around her excitedly, though Ser’s feelings were more dread then excitement. “I smell blood sissy, it’s strong in this area…do you think someone was hurt in old town? Its right over the bridge from here…” She asked speculatively, idly wondering if it was some gang war going on…but…there had been no noise, no screaming or gun shots…could have been done quickly, with knives or something silent. She frowned as she slid one arm around her slightly bumped belly, staring in the direction of the bridge….was it even smart or safe to go check it out? Probably not. Would Jared get pissed if he found out? Most likely.
Rhage Terasaur slipped through the park entry, the gates swinging back and forth as she hastily exited the pretty space, "I smell it too," was all she could say as she turned and looked around. Her lioness was urging, demanding that she find the source of the scent. "Hurry and I'll wait for you at the park?" she murmured in an odd voice. Rhage hadn't just smelled the scent of blood... she'd recognized it...
Serenity Terasaur nodded then remembered that her twin couldn’t see it, “Yeah okay, I’ll meet you at the park…” She hung up her cell even though her beasts were screaming at her to head up the bridge towards old town. Oh well, her twin first then old town. Ser walked quickly towards the park, as quickly as her heels would allow her, the gate coming into view.
Gage Wheeler slowly tried to lift up is unbroken arm as he heard a voice say his name. He was still a bit groggy from the drugs and he looked to the voice and squinted to see who it was “who….” He growled in pain as he turned his abs causing him to tear slightly and more blood flowed out”fuck….god that hurts” he took a breath as much as he could with the rib in the way…he tried again to his beast but it was still dormant
Rhage Terasaur paced, unable to stay still as she waited on her twin to get there. She glanced up when she heard the quick tapping of heels on the sidewalks, sighing when Ser walked into view. She didn't stop to chat when Ser caught up, but instead turned and continued the short walk towards Old Town. "I'm insane," she muttered, her steps picking up and turning into a light jog.
Hikaru Mekanic's eyes focused on the blood as it flowed so freely from him. The gnawing in his gut hit him full force and he gasped, bringing the scent of his blood across his tongue, down his throat. His eyes shut tightly and he almost whispered "Shift Gage.. just.. shift quickly." His hunger was coiling and raising his own beast, pushing away his humanity by the second. He scooted backward, away from him, trying to give him space. Give them both space.
Serenity Terasaur spun around as her twin jogged past her towards Old Town, heading after her at a light jog, ever conscious of the stilettos she wore. “What makes you think that you are insane?” She asked loudly as she caught up to her twin, slowing down some, but her strides were still long as her short legs worked to keep up with her sister, purse clutched tightly over her shoulder.
Isabella Bouvier was leaning against the wall, near the darkened alley, her eyes shifting around hoping she catch those two little girls she had seen last night.. She sighed heavily, just about ready to turn in for the night, when she nearly toppled over, from a hunger pain.. She grumbled " DAMN HIM" she said through clenched teeth, as she reached into her pocket with a shaky hand, and pulled out her phone.. She was going to wait to speak with him, in a couple days but this was just ridiculous.. She had been eating so much, but was still tired.. and was losing weight.. Those did not bode well with her.. She hit a button for the speed dial and brought it to her ear, as she wrapped her other arm around her stomach, as she tried to straighten.. as she listened to the endless ringing..
Gage Wheeler slowly shook his head and exhaled slowly ”I …”coughing and grunting at the same time” they, did something, gave me something and….it feels like he isn’t there. I cannot call him..” he slowly started to panic for he had never felt this hurt and alone at the same time. He had always been a shifter and for him to be truly injured and not be able to shift was a very scary thing for him
Rhage Terasaur waited to speak until her twin caught up, "Smells like Gage," she muttered, "or I'm insane...maybe both," she grumbled. Their quick pace carried them fast into the old part of town, where they paused, and looked around... "Where?" she frowned, glancing to her twin.
Serenity Terasaur frowned and sniffed the air again as they moved, it just smelled like blood to her…then again she never went around sniffing Gage…that would have been very odd…and gross. She snickered inwardly at the thought before becoming serious once more, her gaze flickering to her twin worriedly as she entered the oldest part of Wood Bourne, how would she take it if something was horribly wrong with Gage? She sighed softly, ready to beat her twin enough to knock her out so that she wouldn’t shift…if it came down to it. “I’ll take your word on it…I never made a habit of sniffing him so I’m not too sure about –who- it is…but he is your mate so I’m sure you are right and not insane…” She bit her bottom lip lightly, drawing the silver ring into her mouth until it burned relentlessly, holding it there for a bit as she turned around in a circle, gauging where they were at compared to where she had been standing earlier…”There was that helicopter earlier….maybe…” She frowned…”It had passed right over those buildings…and FB is on the other side of them…” She tilted her head as she glanced to her twin.
Hikaru Mekanic opened his eyes and they glowed like two beacons from within. He heard his phone ringing, vibrating against his hip, but ignored it. His eyes were all for the blood, though he tore them away to Gage's face, bruised and battered as it was. Slowly he slid out of the crouch he had been in, crawling back toward Gage like a predator drawing toward the prey. He tried calling forth his own power, brushing it against Gage, trying to find his own lion. His voice tight with hunger, soft with concentration and spoken through clenched teeth. "I could... call it... Try to pull it..." He found the spark of lion, but the creature seemed to be asleep. All the while his hands very gently ran over Gage's torso, checking his wounds, the one stopping over the bullet wound, other seeking behind his back to see if it had passed through or not...
Isabella Bouvier she was getting agitated, She was had enough of this.. He was putting himself and her at risk.. her heath.. Because he refused to feed.. Because if he had.. She wouldn't feel like she was starving, and damn it if she had to go drag one of the D's to his apartment ever damn night, and shove their wrist DOWN his throat she will.. She took slow breath, hoping the hunger would subside... " Hikaru.. Pick up the fuckin phone" She grumbled as she began heading to the bars entrance.. Didn't they served food.. Peanuts ? Peanuts.. she needs something.. to ease this.. She stumbled across the street, when she heard the voicemail click over " FEED DAMIT... I swear..when I find you.." She ended the call then, and hit redial, as she began walking up the steps, with her other hand still on her stomach
Rhage Terasaur turned to glare at her twin when Ser made a snarky remark about not sniffing Gage. Humpht! "Yeah I don't go around sniffing your mate either," she muttered, still not too sure about the insane part or not. The scent of blood was slowly growing stronger, and she frowned... "Outside... but..." her pale blue eyes strayed up to the roof, "you don't think?" she blinked when Isabella yelled into her phone, and then strode over to the bar, "What the....?"
Serenity Terasaur ignored the glare from her twin…she hadn’t meant it in a negative way, honestly…but she didn’t say that now, she was too busy staring at the roof of the bar that her twin had pointed to, squinting her white blue orbs as if she could see. “I don’t know…there was the helicopter so….” She squeaked softly as she heard the Marshal yelling into her phone, tilting her head in consideration at her words as she followed after her twin quickly.
Gage Wheeler breaths in through his teeth sharply as he feels Hikaru's power and his hand near this wound. He felt his power flow into him looking for something, he closed his eyes and tried to focus on his own power, trying to wake it somehow but it was no use. With all of his own worry he saw the look on Hikarus face and became a bit more worried, for he had seen that look before, hell he had given it plenty of times” are…you ..ok” taking short breaths
Rhage Terasaur blinked and came to a complete stop behind Isabella yelling at the door... What the hell was going on? She waved to Tao as she slipped into the bar behind the Marshal, staying close behind her... Woman on a rampage... she thought with a smirk, but at least she seemed to know where she was going, "Don't ask," she advised the vampiress, "take us to Master Hikaru?" she made what could have been a demand a plea, dreading what... or who... they would find.
Serenity Terasaur followed quickly after her twin and Isabella, winking at Tao jokingly as she made her way in, white blue orbs adjusting to the flashing lights of the bar. Isabella’s curses had her raising her eyebrow, snickering softly…Hikaru was in trouble…she sung in her mind as they walked after the other woman, arms crossing over her chest as her twin spoke to the vampires present. She pushed her lioness and wolf out to wrap around her soothingly, blinking as she heard the loud, echoing roar from Isabella’s phone…shifter senses were awesome sometimes. Her gaze shifting to her twin at the noise, frowning worriedly…”That…sounded like Gage…” She murmured softly, white blue gaze wide with fright for their Rex, and her twin’s mate.
Hikaru Mekanic winced at the roar that drowned out Izzy's yelling, when his eyes opened he glared back at Gage. "Look I've never fucking done this before!" he snapped at him, his eyes darkening as he continued "What I really want to do right now is rip out your throat and feed. But I'm ... not... going to do.. that." He turned back to his stomach and growled. "Silver bullets I'm guessing." God it just got better and better. He had partially lied though. What he really wanted was to be able to get up and leave, for this to never have happened and curl up in bed with Ayd until dawn. His fingers, as gently as he could, probed to the wound to see if it was big enough for him to go after the bullet or not. Would it hurt him to have it in? Ayd said yes, something about silver poisoning. "Fuck. Gage. I have to get it out." His eyes darted to his face. "Let me in so you don't feel it." He was already pulling down his shields, beginning to press his illusion against gage, but not forcing it. He knew better than to force the Rex anything.
Isabella Bouvier: me moved across the room, only to pause a moment when she heard her name, she turned her head quickly to Nikki. When Heard a very loud roar, right into her ear.. Well fuck.. " Hikaru.. Where the fuck is Hikaru at" She said to Nikki, when she began moving more quickly across the room to the stairs. Tao said office.. But the roar.. What the hell.. was going on. She pushed the hunger away, her worry over powering it for the moment " Hikaru.. Damn it.." She went running up the stairs not even bothering to wait for Nikki to respond, and across the room and barged through the door that led to the office, only to find that it was empty.. She stopped cold for only a moment, when she heard Hikaru, " Shit".. Her heart was hammering.. The office.. He isn't fucking here.. She turned back and headed out of the room, looking around.. searching.. But seeing the room empty.. Well damn it.. Her eyes fell on the door before her, before she scrambled forward.. Maybe..? she paused.. Why would they be on the roof... before she opened it
Nikki Robbins blinked as Isabella questioned her about where Hikaru was and cursed in the same sentence. She blinked obviously not acclimated to the cursing still. Nikki was about to answer when Isabella left up the stairs. She looked over to see Rhage and Serenity following. The question was in her eyes as to just what was going on. She looked to Jeanette and they both turned to head up the stairs and follow Isabella.
Rhage Terasaur actually felt the blood rush from her face when she heard the roar. After shaking herself back into focus enough to keep up with Isabella. She knew her twin was right behind her from the sound of heels clicking along in step... Not good, she grumbled, definitely not good.
Gage Wheeler growled in pain as the bullet burned in him. Hikaru was right It had to come out if it didn’t it would be very bad times for him even if he did shift. When Hikaru suggested for him to let him make it not hurt, it made him cringe slightly for he had never let a vampire do that…ever…but, he looked at his beast from within and it was hurt, like him. He was tired of the pain…he looked up at Hikaru as he lowered what shields remained” do it.”
Serenity Terasaur stayed silent as she hastily followed after her twin up the stairs, eyes on her and Isabella’s backs. She fretted and worried over what had happened to Gage, though she wasn’t surprised, the twins had discussed this possibility…that the clinic had taken him, now Ser assumed that they had…that the helicopter had dropped him off. At least he was alive she thought, glancing to her twin to gauge the amount of stress she was exhibiting, ready to force her to leave if it became too much for her.
Hikaru Mekanic turned back to his stomach as his power crashed into him, sending his consciousness into a grassy valley, the sun hot and warm beating down on his shoulders, a place of his childhood, and the pain was gone. Hikaru's fingers hesitated for a moment, his own memories threatening to rise, the last time he had to dig a bullet out of someone, being shot himself and worse. Stamping them down with a growl through his teeth he slipped his fingers into the hole, his eyes closing at the blood that poured out, his fingers seeking the small metal object. "You are /so/ going to owe me, Gage."
Isabella Bouvier was just now aware that she was being followed when she heard peoples footsteps trailing behind her. Where the Hell would Hikaru, be.. She paused a moment, as she heaved breath in and out as she listened, hoping that there was any clue to be given to where they were. Gage and Hikaru.. " HIKARUUUUUUU... GAAAGGGGEEE" She yelled as loud as she could, then went silent with the phone still pressed up against her ear.. as she eyed the door again.. Well damn it.. Damn it.. Damn it.. Damn it.. Fuck it.. She pushed the door open and went running up the steps that lead to the roof... Maybe they were outside somewhere.. And could get a view or something, unless they were in the cats..
Nikki Robbins saw Isabella heading up the stairs for the roof. "Something is really quite wrong." She looked behind her hearing the twins coming as well. They sounded worried. Nikki followed Isabella up the stairs and she started to smell the blood now. She hurried up after Isabella wondering who was hurt this badly.
Rhage Terasaur glared at Isabella's back as they followed the woman up to the roof. The vampiress's comment though, had her rolling her eyes, thinking no shit Sherlock, really? It was slightly amusing though, the five of them clomping up the stairs.
his old family, it made him smile but the smile was quickly removed as he felt a pain in his gut, he in his mind grabbed it and growled out as something burned from within. He seemed to slip in and out of this dream as his lion slipped back into its dark place within and goes back to its slumber after its rush of pain. The wound bleeding more as Hikarus fingers dig in his gut…but in his mind he almost didn’t care
Hikaru 's fingers dug in deeper, then touched .. something. Something that shouldn't be there. He quickly hooked his fingers around the small silver bullet and pulled it out of the wound, then dropped it, catching it again when he heard Izzy yelling his and Gage's name like a banshee on steroids. His hand went back to the wound for a moment while he dropped the bullet beside Gage into a puddle of blood, feeling it already soaking into the leather of his pants. He looked at his hand a moment, having the urge to raise it to his lips, to lick it clean, then blinked with his hand halfway there. Damn it. He clenched his teeth tighter and glanced over his shoulder to the door. "Up here!" One of the rare times he had raised his voice, though turning back to Gage he quickly pulled his power back from him, releasing him from the dream as he cupped his face in his blood soaked hands. "Gage.. come on back Gage. I need you awake to pull again damn it." He seemed to be getting more of the language the longer he was with Ayd, but it still only came out in stressful situations."
Serenity Terasaur continued stomping up the stairs with her twin, a vampire, and a human executioner to find the Master of the City and the lion Rex…for some reason these facts made her snicker softly, their clomping on the stairs reminding her like a heard of buffalo rather than the preternatural that three of them were. Ser’s beasts swirled around her twin soothingly, trying to calm her stress and nerves somewhat for what was to come…if Gage had indeed been taken by the clinic then it wasn’t going to be a pretty sight.
Gage heard in his dream his name being called out, the pain was gone and he looked around and saw someone from his past as he was saying that he need to wake up. He thought…wake up? What did he mean wake up? His mind was in this memory and it didn’t want to leave. But even then he felt something was off, his mind faded slightly as he blinked a few times and his home was gone…and he was staring up at Hikaru and the night sky “ I hurt like a son of a bitch….” His head was still a bit groggy from his flash back
Nikki Robbins moved up onto the roof after Isabella. The scent of the blood being so strong she had to simply stop breathing which was noticeable by the fact her chest wasn't rising and falling anymore. She moved to look and see what had happened and her eyes went wide. The shock as plain as day on her face as she grew a little pale. Nikki forced herself to focus as she made herself levitate slightly to move out of the way of the door knowing blocking the door with the twins behind her would not be a good idea once they saw truly what had happened up here.
Rhage Terasaur stumbled when the door opened and the scent of blood was much stronger. Fuckin hell, she thought, consciously and carefully breathing. She slowly followed Isabella and Nikki, not trusting herself to move too quickly as she took in everything around them... Lots of blood... She blinked and stood back a bit, looking down at Gage. It was a little relieving to hear him speaking... at least he was still alive? Her lioness's energy nuzzled at him without her consciously directing it to, and her leopardess observed distantly.
Hikaru nodded , still cupping his face in his hands. "Yeah well it's gonna hurt a hell of a lot worse in a minute." Izzy was at his side and pulling out her phone and his hand was suddenly there, covered in blood and pushing her hand and the phone back down. "No time." He heard others up here now, but refused to think of their heartbeats, or lack of in one case. His power thrust into Gage as sure as a knife or sword, straight for his sleeping lion. Hikaru's hands shifting to his chest, his eyes closing as he visualized the lion within, curled up and content. He swallowed and let out all the air in his lungs, blocking out everything around him unless they touched him in any way and curled his fingers into the nape of Gage's beast, his own actually curling against his chest before he yanked outward from Gage's body, pulling at that beast with everything he had. He was trying to ignore the twins, he could feel their beasts too, wanting to get out and run, but he couldn't push and pull at the same time. Too much at stake."
Serenity Terasaur cleared the doorway last, the smell hitting her two point five seconds after she had stepped into the night, her gaze sliding to the stars admiring them briefly, trying to ignore the sickening metallic scent of blood that permeated the area around them. Her nose wrinkled distastefully as she moved up next to her twin, sliding one arm around her for strength as her lioness nuzzled her twin soothingly, her wolf traipsing around the rooftop checking things out…damn ADHD. She held her breath as long as possible before pushing it out in a rush to take in yet another deep breath, holding it once again.
Isabella Bouvier eyes went wide as suddenly Hikarus, hand was on her pushing it down.. Completely blooded. She could not understand how he could have lasted so long, with so much temptation before him. But she trusted him and knew that whatever he was doing was meant to help Gage.. G'G.. She let her phone fall to her side.. as she looked at him.. needing to do something.. to help..Then something clicked in her head, as Hikarus hand left hers, She moved, then very slowly, her hand rose, and brushed underneath the fountain of hair, still it came to the nape of the neck. She let her warmed hand rest against his cold skin..Skin to skin contact.. Hopefully this helps she thought
Gage Wheeler ‘s back arches again as he lets out a another scream/ roar as his beast was once again yanked from its place. As he landed back again he let out a growl and a sigh of exhaustion for the pain was getting a bit much after all that he had been through. He looked up and saw everyone…even his lions…they were ok…. His free hand was digging into the roof once more, nail marks under his hands
Nikki Robbins simply couldn't stay here and watch this any longer. She was still not breathing as she turned, still levitating, and headed back downstairs as fast as she could. The screams of Gage still echoing in her head as she hurried away from the scene.
Rhage Terasaur cringed when Hikaru spoke. She was very aware of what was going on, the Master's power similar... but different... to the lions. She growled softly, grinding her teeth together when Gage roared again... Her pale blue gaze immediately went to the Master... What was wrong? Shit... What was always wrong with this particular Master.... Biting her lip, she let her own power join his, and she prayed that that's what they were trying to do, as her lioness pranced and nudged, poked and prodded at Gage's lion. Could she help Hikaru pull Gage's beast? She honestly didn't know... but instead of focusing on all the blood... ick, her head swam dizzily at the thought... No, she'd try to help instead.
Hikaru Mekanic jerked at the touch, his head turning to look at Izzy for a moment, then nodded, turning back to Gage. "Gage you stubborn bastard, help me out here. Look at me." His eyes trying to bore into Gage's not with power but with will alone. He gripped tighter on his lion, wrapping it in his power, trying to rouse it further, and yanked again, pulling on Isabella for concentration and strength, his hunger abating slightly with the touch.
Serenity Terasaur held onto her twin still, watching the scene before her. Her white blue orbs were glued to Gage as she felt the stirrings of lion energy around them, part of her was slightly annoyed that she wasn’t powerful enough to help…to do anything for him….but she squashed those thoughts down into a tiny little box and threw it in some far off dusty, cobwebbed part of her brain. In return she focused her energy on keeping her sister calm and stress free, her lioness winding and twining around and between her legs comfortingly. There wasn’t much else she could do in this situation…it was much like being witness to a car wreck…you just stared at all the carnage. Poor Gage. She made a mental note to be nicer to him in the future, maybe purchase some black sparkly dishes for him to use instead of the hot pink sparkly ones the twins had bought after his adamant refusal of them a month or so ago.
Isabella Bouvier let her gaze fall on gages face. Only his face, she was weak, and was not sure how much of a helps she would be, but did her best to do what she could. She did not flinch when she heard Gages scream, it made her want to reach for him then. Her old friend. But she stayed where she was, knowing that this was the only place that.. where she could help him. She shifted so that she was now completely behind Hikaru as he nodded to her, so that she had more control of her hand, and making sure it never moved away.. And then.. She suddenly felt lightheaded, a little woozy.. but uplifted.. Very odd sensations.. she began to have trouble having a coherent thought.. but felt.. more.. in some ways.. Help Hikaru.. Help Gage..
Gage once again let out a yell as the yell turned to a full roar as his body seemed to turn inside out, at one moment there was man there, next within moments his body popped and snapped, fur bursting from his skin and his mane sprouting from his neck. The lion looked around and growled for all the pained it had endured of the past few weeks. He slowly stood the wound in his gut still hurting. It backed away a few steps from everyone then, its eyes rolled into the back of his head and it flopped over on its side, exhausted…all it wanted was sleep
Rhage Terasaur had forgotten she was biting her lip... and at Gage's roar she bit through it... Hissing and grumbling, she ignored the taste of blood in her mouth, stepping back and tugging her twin with her when Gage shifted... Don't mind a cut lip, but shifter goo on the shoes? I don't think so! At the growl, she glared above the Master and the Marshal's heads at the dark lion, "Uh... Gage... It's not nap time," she muttered, her lioness metaphysically prodding at him like any good pestering mate would, "wake up! You have to get off the roof and I'm not dragging you down the stairs." Idly, she contemplated throwing a shoe at him, shrugging the notion off. It hadn't been too effective the last few times she'd tried it.
Hikaru sat back on his rear as Gage shifted, bumping into Izzy as he was splattered with the clear goo. He tried to sit up better but was sitting on his hair, in the blood.. and now goo. It trailed down his face, reminding him of a clear version of that kids show. When he saw Gage collapse, his power was there, prodding the lion to wake, and along with that, perhaps a bit of his hunger went with it. His hand rose up and wiped at the goo attached to his face, the blood from his hand mixing with it and giving him a bloody mask on half his face. Oh yeah... Gage owed him BIG.
Gage ‘s shot open as he felt a burst of energy flow into him, he jumped up and ran along the conjoined buildings. He then ran to smaller one then on the streets, making his way to the woods, finding himself a few deer for him to munch on.
Isabella Bouvier when Hikaru moved back, and hearing gage begin to roar, caused her to lose her footing and fall back landing right on her butt .. Right when Gage shifted, Though Hikaru had taking the brunt of the gooey goopy stuff.. She got a little. Yuck.. She looked up then, seeing Gage.. The whittle lion take off, and jump off the roof.. Causing her to squeak.. Her head spun slightly, feeling disoriented.. as she looked over to twins who also left.. Then she looked back to Hikaru... " you know.. I think.. you need help.. I wonder if there's therapy for anorexic vampires.. " she grumbled, as she tried to gather herself up and tried to stand, though still stumbled " maybe.. a 1800 number.. for how the Human servants cope"
Hikaru stood slowly when Gage ran off, his hair clung to his rear, soaked in blood and goo and.. he really didn't want to think about it. When Izzy spoke about needing therapy he heard Aydryan start chuckling in his mind about it, already heading to the bathroom to start a bath for him. Hikaru simply turned and looked at Izzy, giving her the full weight of his gaze behind a mask of blood and goo for a moment before he leaned in as if to kiss her, and rubbed his face against hers as well with a small chuckle. "Starvation is a hard habit to break after eighty-..." He paused, his jaw tightening. "...five years of it." His eyes lost their hardness, paling while he stared over her shoulder at.. nothing. Then they snapped them back to her. "Thank you Isabella."
Isabella Bouvier attempted to stand straight, as she looked to Hikaru, not angry but remembering why she had walked into the bar in the first place. But it was funny.. She couldn't help but giggle as she and image of her yelling at Tao screaming for nuts popped into her head.. When it instantly died when she caught the look in his eyes, everything felt heavy then.. When he leaned closer to her, her heart beat picking up slightly when she yipped when he rubbed his face all over hers.. Gooey nastiness.. and blood.. All over.. You know if she had been anyone else.. It possibly might have ended worse for him.. Well.. on a different day.. " Well.. See.. When you starve.. I starve.. and see unlike you.. I lose weight and become weak.. and unfocused.. You have any idea HOW much I have been eating!.. " she stopped though.. as a brief moment of clarity hit her.. yeah she was a bit loopy.. " Hey.. it's what I'm here for right.. no need for thanks.. " She felt a bit sad though, a little bit of the dark began to creep in.. well seems it was time for her to go then.. " Be well.." she said stiffly as she headed for the door..
Hikaru followed Izzy down the stairs but caught her arm before she could go down to the main area, nudging her toward the staff room and immediately went to the fridge, nodding to it. It was a small thing for the moment, not a lot of living in the place, but the freezer beside it had frozen pizzas in it. "Eat as much as you like... as long as it isn't Tao's... he might get grumpy... er." He smiled at her then moved closer, reaching up to touch her again and stopped, catching sight of his bloodied hands and lowering them again. "I mean it Izzy.. Thank you. I didn't realize I was sharing my hunger with you." He started finding the place in his mind where her buzzing was, still faint with only two marks, but there, and began closing the door to it, his hunger leaving her and staying where it should, in him. "I need to go.. get cleaned up." He blinked at her, memorizing her face smeared in blood and good and the only word he could think of to describe her at that moment was.. cute. "Huh... Right... I will try to feed too." He answered Aydryan's own remark and addition to the bath and turned on his heel walking stiffly from the room."
Gage Wheeler let out a groan as he looked around to see where he was, but as he did he say his shoulder was out of place and when he took a breath he could feel a rib poking at his lungs. He closed his eyes and tired to call out his beast, but it was not here, it must have been what they have given him again….what was it and how did they do it? His mind raced as he tried to find out where he was again
Serenity Terasaur continued walking towards the park, though she stopped right in front of the old FB when her twin picked up and asked where she was, “Standing in front of old FB…was gonna come meet you at the park…” She continued on until she caught scent of something faintly metallic smelling, wrinkling her nose as the wind blew the scent around her. The panwere spun around on her heels in a small circle, phone pressed to her ear as she continued scenting the area, it was blood…but where…? She frowned, her wolf and lioness floating around her excitedly, though Ser’s feelings were more dread then excitement. “I smell blood sissy, it’s strong in this area…do you think someone was hurt in old town? Its right over the bridge from here…” She asked speculatively, idly wondering if it was some gang war going on…but…there had been no noise, no screaming or gun shots…could have been done quickly, with knives or something silent. She frowned as she slid one arm around her slightly bumped belly, staring in the direction of the bridge….was it even smart or safe to go check it out? Probably not. Would Jared get pissed if he found out? Most likely.
Rhage Terasaur slipped through the park entry, the gates swinging back and forth as she hastily exited the pretty space, "I smell it too," was all she could say as she turned and looked around. Her lioness was urging, demanding that she find the source of the scent. "Hurry and I'll wait for you at the park?" she murmured in an odd voice. Rhage hadn't just smelled the scent of blood... she'd recognized it...
Serenity Terasaur nodded then remembered that her twin couldn’t see it, “Yeah okay, I’ll meet you at the park…” She hung up her cell even though her beasts were screaming at her to head up the bridge towards old town. Oh well, her twin first then old town. Ser walked quickly towards the park, as quickly as her heels would allow her, the gate coming into view.
Gage Wheeler slowly tried to lift up is unbroken arm as he heard a voice say his name. He was still a bit groggy from the drugs and he looked to the voice and squinted to see who it was “who….” He growled in pain as he turned his abs causing him to tear slightly and more blood flowed out”fuck….god that hurts” he took a breath as much as he could with the rib in the way…he tried again to his beast but it was still dormant
Rhage Terasaur paced, unable to stay still as she waited on her twin to get there. She glanced up when she heard the quick tapping of heels on the sidewalks, sighing when Ser walked into view. She didn't stop to chat when Ser caught up, but instead turned and continued the short walk towards Old Town. "I'm insane," she muttered, her steps picking up and turning into a light jog.
Hikaru Mekanic's eyes focused on the blood as it flowed so freely from him. The gnawing in his gut hit him full force and he gasped, bringing the scent of his blood across his tongue, down his throat. His eyes shut tightly and he almost whispered "Shift Gage.. just.. shift quickly." His hunger was coiling and raising his own beast, pushing away his humanity by the second. He scooted backward, away from him, trying to give him space. Give them both space.
Serenity Terasaur spun around as her twin jogged past her towards Old Town, heading after her at a light jog, ever conscious of the stilettos she wore. “What makes you think that you are insane?” She asked loudly as she caught up to her twin, slowing down some, but her strides were still long as her short legs worked to keep up with her sister, purse clutched tightly over her shoulder.
Isabella Bouvier was leaning against the wall, near the darkened alley, her eyes shifting around hoping she catch those two little girls she had seen last night.. She sighed heavily, just about ready to turn in for the night, when she nearly toppled over, from a hunger pain.. She grumbled " DAMN HIM" she said through clenched teeth, as she reached into her pocket with a shaky hand, and pulled out her phone.. She was going to wait to speak with him, in a couple days but this was just ridiculous.. She had been eating so much, but was still tired.. and was losing weight.. Those did not bode well with her.. She hit a button for the speed dial and brought it to her ear, as she wrapped her other arm around her stomach, as she tried to straighten.. as she listened to the endless ringing..
Gage Wheeler slowly shook his head and exhaled slowly ”I …”coughing and grunting at the same time” they, did something, gave me something and….it feels like he isn’t there. I cannot call him..” he slowly started to panic for he had never felt this hurt and alone at the same time. He had always been a shifter and for him to be truly injured and not be able to shift was a very scary thing for him
Rhage Terasaur waited to speak until her twin caught up, "Smells like Gage," she muttered, "or I'm insane...maybe both," she grumbled. Their quick pace carried them fast into the old part of town, where they paused, and looked around... "Where?" she frowned, glancing to her twin.
Serenity Terasaur frowned and sniffed the air again as they moved, it just smelled like blood to her…then again she never went around sniffing Gage…that would have been very odd…and gross. She snickered inwardly at the thought before becoming serious once more, her gaze flickering to her twin worriedly as she entered the oldest part of Wood Bourne, how would she take it if something was horribly wrong with Gage? She sighed softly, ready to beat her twin enough to knock her out so that she wouldn’t shift…if it came down to it. “I’ll take your word on it…I never made a habit of sniffing him so I’m not too sure about –who- it is…but he is your mate so I’m sure you are right and not insane…” She bit her bottom lip lightly, drawing the silver ring into her mouth until it burned relentlessly, holding it there for a bit as she turned around in a circle, gauging where they were at compared to where she had been standing earlier…”There was that helicopter earlier….maybe…” She frowned…”It had passed right over those buildings…and FB is on the other side of them…” She tilted her head as she glanced to her twin.
Hikaru Mekanic opened his eyes and they glowed like two beacons from within. He heard his phone ringing, vibrating against his hip, but ignored it. His eyes were all for the blood, though he tore them away to Gage's face, bruised and battered as it was. Slowly he slid out of the crouch he had been in, crawling back toward Gage like a predator drawing toward the prey. He tried calling forth his own power, brushing it against Gage, trying to find his own lion. His voice tight with hunger, soft with concentration and spoken through clenched teeth. "I could... call it... Try to pull it..." He found the spark of lion, but the creature seemed to be asleep. All the while his hands very gently ran over Gage's torso, checking his wounds, the one stopping over the bullet wound, other seeking behind his back to see if it had passed through or not...
Isabella Bouvier she was getting agitated, She was had enough of this.. He was putting himself and her at risk.. her heath.. Because he refused to feed.. Because if he had.. She wouldn't feel like she was starving, and damn it if she had to go drag one of the D's to his apartment ever damn night, and shove their wrist DOWN his throat she will.. She took slow breath, hoping the hunger would subside... " Hikaru.. Pick up the fuckin phone" She grumbled as she began heading to the bars entrance.. Didn't they served food.. Peanuts ? Peanuts.. she needs something.. to ease this.. She stumbled across the street, when she heard the voicemail click over " FEED DAMIT... I swear..when I find you.." She ended the call then, and hit redial, as she began walking up the steps, with her other hand still on her stomach
Rhage Terasaur turned to glare at her twin when Ser made a snarky remark about not sniffing Gage. Humpht! "Yeah I don't go around sniffing your mate either," she muttered, still not too sure about the insane part or not. The scent of blood was slowly growing stronger, and she frowned... "Outside... but..." her pale blue eyes strayed up to the roof, "you don't think?" she blinked when Isabella yelled into her phone, and then strode over to the bar, "What the....?"
Serenity Terasaur ignored the glare from her twin…she hadn’t meant it in a negative way, honestly…but she didn’t say that now, she was too busy staring at the roof of the bar that her twin had pointed to, squinting her white blue orbs as if she could see. “I don’t know…there was the helicopter so….” She squeaked softly as she heard the Marshal yelling into her phone, tilting her head in consideration at her words as she followed after her twin quickly.
Gage Wheeler breaths in through his teeth sharply as he feels Hikaru's power and his hand near this wound. He felt his power flow into him looking for something, he closed his eyes and tried to focus on his own power, trying to wake it somehow but it was no use. With all of his own worry he saw the look on Hikarus face and became a bit more worried, for he had seen that look before, hell he had given it plenty of times” are…you ..ok” taking short breaths
Rhage Terasaur blinked and came to a complete stop behind Isabella yelling at the door... What the hell was going on? She waved to Tao as she slipped into the bar behind the Marshal, staying close behind her... Woman on a rampage... she thought with a smirk, but at least she seemed to know where she was going, "Don't ask," she advised the vampiress, "take us to Master Hikaru?" she made what could have been a demand a plea, dreading what... or who... they would find.
Serenity Terasaur followed quickly after her twin and Isabella, winking at Tao jokingly as she made her way in, white blue orbs adjusting to the flashing lights of the bar. Isabella’s curses had her raising her eyebrow, snickering softly…Hikaru was in trouble…she sung in her mind as they walked after the other woman, arms crossing over her chest as her twin spoke to the vampires present. She pushed her lioness and wolf out to wrap around her soothingly, blinking as she heard the loud, echoing roar from Isabella’s phone…shifter senses were awesome sometimes. Her gaze shifting to her twin at the noise, frowning worriedly…”That…sounded like Gage…” She murmured softly, white blue gaze wide with fright for their Rex, and her twin’s mate.
Hikaru Mekanic winced at the roar that drowned out Izzy's yelling, when his eyes opened he glared back at Gage. "Look I've never fucking done this before!" he snapped at him, his eyes darkening as he continued "What I really want to do right now is rip out your throat and feed. But I'm ... not... going to do.. that." He turned back to his stomach and growled. "Silver bullets I'm guessing." God it just got better and better. He had partially lied though. What he really wanted was to be able to get up and leave, for this to never have happened and curl up in bed with Ayd until dawn. His fingers, as gently as he could, probed to the wound to see if it was big enough for him to go after the bullet or not. Would it hurt him to have it in? Ayd said yes, something about silver poisoning. "Fuck. Gage. I have to get it out." His eyes darted to his face. "Let me in so you don't feel it." He was already pulling down his shields, beginning to press his illusion against gage, but not forcing it. He knew better than to force the Rex anything.
Isabella Bouvier: me moved across the room, only to pause a moment when she heard her name, she turned her head quickly to Nikki. When Heard a very loud roar, right into her ear.. Well fuck.. " Hikaru.. Where the fuck is Hikaru at" She said to Nikki, when she began moving more quickly across the room to the stairs. Tao said office.. But the roar.. What the hell.. was going on. She pushed the hunger away, her worry over powering it for the moment " Hikaru.. Damn it.." She went running up the stairs not even bothering to wait for Nikki to respond, and across the room and barged through the door that led to the office, only to find that it was empty.. She stopped cold for only a moment, when she heard Hikaru, " Shit".. Her heart was hammering.. The office.. He isn't fucking here.. She turned back and headed out of the room, looking around.. searching.. But seeing the room empty.. Well damn it.. Her eyes fell on the door before her, before she scrambled forward.. Maybe..? she paused.. Why would they be on the roof... before she opened it
Nikki Robbins blinked as Isabella questioned her about where Hikaru was and cursed in the same sentence. She blinked obviously not acclimated to the cursing still. Nikki was about to answer when Isabella left up the stairs. She looked over to see Rhage and Serenity following. The question was in her eyes as to just what was going on. She looked to Jeanette and they both turned to head up the stairs and follow Isabella.
Rhage Terasaur actually felt the blood rush from her face when she heard the roar. After shaking herself back into focus enough to keep up with Isabella. She knew her twin was right behind her from the sound of heels clicking along in step... Not good, she grumbled, definitely not good.
Gage Wheeler growled in pain as the bullet burned in him. Hikaru was right It had to come out if it didn’t it would be very bad times for him even if he did shift. When Hikaru suggested for him to let him make it not hurt, it made him cringe slightly for he had never let a vampire do that…ever…but, he looked at his beast from within and it was hurt, like him. He was tired of the pain…he looked up at Hikaru as he lowered what shields remained” do it.”
Serenity Terasaur stayed silent as she hastily followed after her twin up the stairs, eyes on her and Isabella’s backs. She fretted and worried over what had happened to Gage, though she wasn’t surprised, the twins had discussed this possibility…that the clinic had taken him, now Ser assumed that they had…that the helicopter had dropped him off. At least he was alive she thought, glancing to her twin to gauge the amount of stress she was exhibiting, ready to force her to leave if it became too much for her.
Hikaru Mekanic turned back to his stomach as his power crashed into him, sending his consciousness into a grassy valley, the sun hot and warm beating down on his shoulders, a place of his childhood, and the pain was gone. Hikaru's fingers hesitated for a moment, his own memories threatening to rise, the last time he had to dig a bullet out of someone, being shot himself and worse. Stamping them down with a growl through his teeth he slipped his fingers into the hole, his eyes closing at the blood that poured out, his fingers seeking the small metal object. "You are /so/ going to owe me, Gage."
Isabella Bouvier was just now aware that she was being followed when she heard peoples footsteps trailing behind her. Where the Hell would Hikaru, be.. She paused a moment, as she heaved breath in and out as she listened, hoping that there was any clue to be given to where they were. Gage and Hikaru.. " HIKARUUUUUUU... GAAAGGGGEEE" She yelled as loud as she could, then went silent with the phone still pressed up against her ear.. as she eyed the door again.. Well damn it.. Damn it.. Damn it.. Damn it.. Fuck it.. She pushed the door open and went running up the steps that lead to the roof... Maybe they were outside somewhere.. And could get a view or something, unless they were in the cats..
Nikki Robbins saw Isabella heading up the stairs for the roof. "Something is really quite wrong." She looked behind her hearing the twins coming as well. They sounded worried. Nikki followed Isabella up the stairs and she started to smell the blood now. She hurried up after Isabella wondering who was hurt this badly.
Rhage Terasaur glared at Isabella's back as they followed the woman up to the roof. The vampiress's comment though, had her rolling her eyes, thinking no shit Sherlock, really? It was slightly amusing though, the five of them clomping up the stairs.
his old family, it made him smile but the smile was quickly removed as he felt a pain in his gut, he in his mind grabbed it and growled out as something burned from within. He seemed to slip in and out of this dream as his lion slipped back into its dark place within and goes back to its slumber after its rush of pain. The wound bleeding more as Hikarus fingers dig in his gut…but in his mind he almost didn’t care
Hikaru 's fingers dug in deeper, then touched .. something. Something that shouldn't be there. He quickly hooked his fingers around the small silver bullet and pulled it out of the wound, then dropped it, catching it again when he heard Izzy yelling his and Gage's name like a banshee on steroids. His hand went back to the wound for a moment while he dropped the bullet beside Gage into a puddle of blood, feeling it already soaking into the leather of his pants. He looked at his hand a moment, having the urge to raise it to his lips, to lick it clean, then blinked with his hand halfway there. Damn it. He clenched his teeth tighter and glanced over his shoulder to the door. "Up here!" One of the rare times he had raised his voice, though turning back to Gage he quickly pulled his power back from him, releasing him from the dream as he cupped his face in his blood soaked hands. "Gage.. come on back Gage. I need you awake to pull again damn it." He seemed to be getting more of the language the longer he was with Ayd, but it still only came out in stressful situations."
Serenity Terasaur continued stomping up the stairs with her twin, a vampire, and a human executioner to find the Master of the City and the lion Rex…for some reason these facts made her snicker softly, their clomping on the stairs reminding her like a heard of buffalo rather than the preternatural that three of them were. Ser’s beasts swirled around her twin soothingly, trying to calm her stress and nerves somewhat for what was to come…if Gage had indeed been taken by the clinic then it wasn’t going to be a pretty sight.
Gage heard in his dream his name being called out, the pain was gone and he looked around and saw someone from his past as he was saying that he need to wake up. He thought…wake up? What did he mean wake up? His mind was in this memory and it didn’t want to leave. But even then he felt something was off, his mind faded slightly as he blinked a few times and his home was gone…and he was staring up at Hikaru and the night sky “ I hurt like a son of a bitch….” His head was still a bit groggy from his flash back
Nikki Robbins moved up onto the roof after Isabella. The scent of the blood being so strong she had to simply stop breathing which was noticeable by the fact her chest wasn't rising and falling anymore. She moved to look and see what had happened and her eyes went wide. The shock as plain as day on her face as she grew a little pale. Nikki forced herself to focus as she made herself levitate slightly to move out of the way of the door knowing blocking the door with the twins behind her would not be a good idea once they saw truly what had happened up here.
Rhage Terasaur stumbled when the door opened and the scent of blood was much stronger. Fuckin hell, she thought, consciously and carefully breathing. She slowly followed Isabella and Nikki, not trusting herself to move too quickly as she took in everything around them... Lots of blood... She blinked and stood back a bit, looking down at Gage. It was a little relieving to hear him speaking... at least he was still alive? Her lioness's energy nuzzled at him without her consciously directing it to, and her leopardess observed distantly.
Hikaru nodded , still cupping his face in his hands. "Yeah well it's gonna hurt a hell of a lot worse in a minute." Izzy was at his side and pulling out her phone and his hand was suddenly there, covered in blood and pushing her hand and the phone back down. "No time." He heard others up here now, but refused to think of their heartbeats, or lack of in one case. His power thrust into Gage as sure as a knife or sword, straight for his sleeping lion. Hikaru's hands shifting to his chest, his eyes closing as he visualized the lion within, curled up and content. He swallowed and let out all the air in his lungs, blocking out everything around him unless they touched him in any way and curled his fingers into the nape of Gage's beast, his own actually curling against his chest before he yanked outward from Gage's body, pulling at that beast with everything he had. He was trying to ignore the twins, he could feel their beasts too, wanting to get out and run, but he couldn't push and pull at the same time. Too much at stake."
Serenity Terasaur cleared the doorway last, the smell hitting her two point five seconds after she had stepped into the night, her gaze sliding to the stars admiring them briefly, trying to ignore the sickening metallic scent of blood that permeated the area around them. Her nose wrinkled distastefully as she moved up next to her twin, sliding one arm around her for strength as her lioness nuzzled her twin soothingly, her wolf traipsing around the rooftop checking things out…damn ADHD. She held her breath as long as possible before pushing it out in a rush to take in yet another deep breath, holding it once again.
Isabella Bouvier eyes went wide as suddenly Hikarus, hand was on her pushing it down.. Completely blooded. She could not understand how he could have lasted so long, with so much temptation before him. But she trusted him and knew that whatever he was doing was meant to help Gage.. G'G.. She let her phone fall to her side.. as she looked at him.. needing to do something.. to help..Then something clicked in her head, as Hikarus hand left hers, She moved, then very slowly, her hand rose, and brushed underneath the fountain of hair, still it came to the nape of the neck. She let her warmed hand rest against his cold skin..Skin to skin contact.. Hopefully this helps she thought
Gage Wheeler ‘s back arches again as he lets out a another scream/ roar as his beast was once again yanked from its place. As he landed back again he let out a growl and a sigh of exhaustion for the pain was getting a bit much after all that he had been through. He looked up and saw everyone…even his lions…they were ok…. His free hand was digging into the roof once more, nail marks under his hands
Nikki Robbins simply couldn't stay here and watch this any longer. She was still not breathing as she turned, still levitating, and headed back downstairs as fast as she could. The screams of Gage still echoing in her head as she hurried away from the scene.
Rhage Terasaur cringed when Hikaru spoke. She was very aware of what was going on, the Master's power similar... but different... to the lions. She growled softly, grinding her teeth together when Gage roared again... Her pale blue gaze immediately went to the Master... What was wrong? Shit... What was always wrong with this particular Master.... Biting her lip, she let her own power join his, and she prayed that that's what they were trying to do, as her lioness pranced and nudged, poked and prodded at Gage's lion. Could she help Hikaru pull Gage's beast? She honestly didn't know... but instead of focusing on all the blood... ick, her head swam dizzily at the thought... No, she'd try to help instead.
Hikaru Mekanic jerked at the touch, his head turning to look at Izzy for a moment, then nodded, turning back to Gage. "Gage you stubborn bastard, help me out here. Look at me." His eyes trying to bore into Gage's not with power but with will alone. He gripped tighter on his lion, wrapping it in his power, trying to rouse it further, and yanked again, pulling on Isabella for concentration and strength, his hunger abating slightly with the touch.
Serenity Terasaur held onto her twin still, watching the scene before her. Her white blue orbs were glued to Gage as she felt the stirrings of lion energy around them, part of her was slightly annoyed that she wasn’t powerful enough to help…to do anything for him….but she squashed those thoughts down into a tiny little box and threw it in some far off dusty, cobwebbed part of her brain. In return she focused her energy on keeping her sister calm and stress free, her lioness winding and twining around and between her legs comfortingly. There wasn’t much else she could do in this situation…it was much like being witness to a car wreck…you just stared at all the carnage. Poor Gage. She made a mental note to be nicer to him in the future, maybe purchase some black sparkly dishes for him to use instead of the hot pink sparkly ones the twins had bought after his adamant refusal of them a month or so ago.
Isabella Bouvier let her gaze fall on gages face. Only his face, she was weak, and was not sure how much of a helps she would be, but did her best to do what she could. She did not flinch when she heard Gages scream, it made her want to reach for him then. Her old friend. But she stayed where she was, knowing that this was the only place that.. where she could help him. She shifted so that she was now completely behind Hikaru as he nodded to her, so that she had more control of her hand, and making sure it never moved away.. And then.. She suddenly felt lightheaded, a little woozy.. but uplifted.. Very odd sensations.. she began to have trouble having a coherent thought.. but felt.. more.. in some ways.. Help Hikaru.. Help Gage..
Gage once again let out a yell as the yell turned to a full roar as his body seemed to turn inside out, at one moment there was man there, next within moments his body popped and snapped, fur bursting from his skin and his mane sprouting from his neck. The lion looked around and growled for all the pained it had endured of the past few weeks. He slowly stood the wound in his gut still hurting. It backed away a few steps from everyone then, its eyes rolled into the back of his head and it flopped over on its side, exhausted…all it wanted was sleep
Rhage Terasaur had forgotten she was biting her lip... and at Gage's roar she bit through it... Hissing and grumbling, she ignored the taste of blood in her mouth, stepping back and tugging her twin with her when Gage shifted... Don't mind a cut lip, but shifter goo on the shoes? I don't think so! At the growl, she glared above the Master and the Marshal's heads at the dark lion, "Uh... Gage... It's not nap time," she muttered, her lioness metaphysically prodding at him like any good pestering mate would, "wake up! You have to get off the roof and I'm not dragging you down the stairs." Idly, she contemplated throwing a shoe at him, shrugging the notion off. It hadn't been too effective the last few times she'd tried it.
Hikaru sat back on his rear as Gage shifted, bumping into Izzy as he was splattered with the clear goo. He tried to sit up better but was sitting on his hair, in the blood.. and now goo. It trailed down his face, reminding him of a clear version of that kids show. When he saw Gage collapse, his power was there, prodding the lion to wake, and along with that, perhaps a bit of his hunger went with it. His hand rose up and wiped at the goo attached to his face, the blood from his hand mixing with it and giving him a bloody mask on half his face. Oh yeah... Gage owed him BIG.
Gage ‘s shot open as he felt a burst of energy flow into him, he jumped up and ran along the conjoined buildings. He then ran to smaller one then on the streets, making his way to the woods, finding himself a few deer for him to munch on.
Isabella Bouvier when Hikaru moved back, and hearing gage begin to roar, caused her to lose her footing and fall back landing right on her butt .. Right when Gage shifted, Though Hikaru had taking the brunt of the gooey goopy stuff.. She got a little. Yuck.. She looked up then, seeing Gage.. The whittle lion take off, and jump off the roof.. Causing her to squeak.. Her head spun slightly, feeling disoriented.. as she looked over to twins who also left.. Then she looked back to Hikaru... " you know.. I think.. you need help.. I wonder if there's therapy for anorexic vampires.. " she grumbled, as she tried to gather herself up and tried to stand, though still stumbled " maybe.. a 1800 number.. for how the Human servants cope"
Hikaru stood slowly when Gage ran off, his hair clung to his rear, soaked in blood and goo and.. he really didn't want to think about it. When Izzy spoke about needing therapy he heard Aydryan start chuckling in his mind about it, already heading to the bathroom to start a bath for him. Hikaru simply turned and looked at Izzy, giving her the full weight of his gaze behind a mask of blood and goo for a moment before he leaned in as if to kiss her, and rubbed his face against hers as well with a small chuckle. "Starvation is a hard habit to break after eighty-..." He paused, his jaw tightening. "...five years of it." His eyes lost their hardness, paling while he stared over her shoulder at.. nothing. Then they snapped them back to her. "Thank you Isabella."
Isabella Bouvier attempted to stand straight, as she looked to Hikaru, not angry but remembering why she had walked into the bar in the first place. But it was funny.. She couldn't help but giggle as she and image of her yelling at Tao screaming for nuts popped into her head.. When it instantly died when she caught the look in his eyes, everything felt heavy then.. When he leaned closer to her, her heart beat picking up slightly when she yipped when he rubbed his face all over hers.. Gooey nastiness.. and blood.. All over.. You know if she had been anyone else.. It possibly might have ended worse for him.. Well.. on a different day.. " Well.. See.. When you starve.. I starve.. and see unlike you.. I lose weight and become weak.. and unfocused.. You have any idea HOW much I have been eating!.. " she stopped though.. as a brief moment of clarity hit her.. yeah she was a bit loopy.. " Hey.. it's what I'm here for right.. no need for thanks.. " She felt a bit sad though, a little bit of the dark began to creep in.. well seems it was time for her to go then.. " Be well.." she said stiffly as she headed for the door..
Hikaru followed Izzy down the stairs but caught her arm before she could go down to the main area, nudging her toward the staff room and immediately went to the fridge, nodding to it. It was a small thing for the moment, not a lot of living in the place, but the freezer beside it had frozen pizzas in it. "Eat as much as you like... as long as it isn't Tao's... he might get grumpy... er." He smiled at her then moved closer, reaching up to touch her again and stopped, catching sight of his bloodied hands and lowering them again. "I mean it Izzy.. Thank you. I didn't realize I was sharing my hunger with you." He started finding the place in his mind where her buzzing was, still faint with only two marks, but there, and began closing the door to it, his hunger leaving her and staying where it should, in him. "I need to go.. get cleaned up." He blinked at her, memorizing her face smeared in blood and good and the only word he could think of to describe her at that moment was.. cute. "Huh... Right... I will try to feed too." He answered Aydryan's own remark and addition to the bath and turned on his heel walking stiffly from the room."
